French overseas territories show their dissatisfaction by pivoting to Le Pen
France's Caribbean overseas territories have often been demonstrative in their dislike of far-right presidential candidates. On the 1998 campaign trail, Jean-Marie Le Pen was met with protests at a Martinique airport, which prevented his plane from landing. In 2017, his daughter Marine's highest score in the Caribbean region was just 35.1 per cent, in Guiana.
But in Sunday's run-off, Marine Le Pen secured some of her strongest gains of the election as voters in the former French colonies showed their dissatisfaction with Emmanuel Macron.
Le Pen beat Macron in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana, taking more than 60 per cent of votes. The support "honoured" her and touched her "deeply," she said in her post-result speech.
The Caribbean territories overwhelmingly backed far-left firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round of the election two weeks ago but switched to Le Pen in a protest vote, according to Mikaa Mered, a lecturer on the French overseas territories at the university of Sciences Po.
"Marine Le Pen managed to suck in the anger over health and vaccines from one side, and the social anger vote from the other side," he said, adding that the anti-Macron sentiment in the West Indies, Guiana and Réunion in the Indian Ocean was "stronger than the hatred, which Marine Le Pen's ideas can generate".

Despite calls from Mélenchon and some of his local representatives not to vote for the far right on Sunday, votes were clearly transferred from his electoral base to Le Pen's.
Sony Chroné, a 51-year-old professional skipper and voluntary fireman, said he has not voted since Mitterrand, but was not surprised about Le Pen's result. "The West Indies are against Macron," he said. "Five years ago people did not vote for Macron but against Le Pen. He was the only person facing her. This year it was the opposite."
Mered said the vote against Macron was the consequence of a "loss of trust" in the French state's handling of public health over the past 30 years and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. While the mass use of chlordecone, a toxic pesticide for banana plantations, between 1972 and 1993, sparked a public health crisis, the pandemic shed light on the territories' lower ratio of acute hospital beds per person than in continental France.
"A lot of people hate [Macron]. The Covid health pass — the mandatory vaccination — really disgusted people. We are not really pro-vaccine here," said Chroné.
Vaccine hesitancy has been strong in the overseas territories. In Guiana, only 29.8 per cent of adolescents and adults have received two doses of Covid vaccines — compared with a national average of 79.3 per cent.
Commenting on the overseas results, Bruno Le Maire, finance minister in Macron's government, said: "The [overseas departments are] a very important part of the French territory. Those results mean that we have to do more and we have to do better."
Le Pen also emerged as the preferred candidate in the Indian Ocean archipelago of Mayotte, which backed her with 59.1 per cent of votes.
Mayotte's move to the right was however anticipated by researchers. Although Macron came out ahead in 2017, Le Pen made a good showing with 42.9 per cent. The territory has long voted for the traditional republican right and struggles with clandestine immigration from the Comoros islands, said Mered.
The Indo-Pacific territories of French Polynesia and New Caledonia painted a different picture, with Macron claiming a narrow victory in Polynesia and a clear lead in New Caledonia.
"The Pacific has a completely different dynamic. It does not have the same logic of colonisation . . . security issues prevail there", said Mered. In New Caledonia, abstention was on the rise and benefited the incumbent. The voters who made the journey to cast their votes were probably anti-independentists showing their backing for the state, he added.
On the Mediterranean island of Corsica, which was rocked by pro-independence riots last month, Macron trailed Le Pen with 42 per cent of the votes to her 58 per cent.
In other overseas polling stations, French expatriates who cast their ballots in consulates around the world largely backed Macron. The pro-European, globalist president received 86 per cent of all French expatriates' votes.

When trying to decide on which type of signage boards to use, the overwhelming variety of choices can get your head in a spin. Some important elements to consider are size, placement, materials and structure.
Those elements considered, whether your budget for signage is large or small, make sure that you stay true to yourself and stick to a unique style that best represents you and your business, rather than just following the latest trends. Some of the most iconic businesses around the world are known by their signs first and foremost and having people associating your sign to your company as soon as they see it, is what it's all about.
Here are a few types of signage boards to get you started.
Classic A-frame or sandwich type standalone signage boards are generally inexpensive, customizable and overall effective for short distance advertising. Being movable, they are easily placed where they will be noticed, inside or outside your business premises.
Long lasting and completely customisable to your brand and creativity, vinyl and window decal signage is best placed at eye level. The options for vinyl and window decal signage are endless and the adhesive backing means that they have a semi-permanent nature so that there is some wriggle room for adjustment when placing them during installation.
3-dimensional signage is modern, individual and stands out from the crowd and can be created to very large sizes. Laser cut letters are raised from the surface of the sign and the moulded lettering is constructed to have a specified depth. You can choose from Plaster of Paris, Perspex or fibreglass.
While 3D signage boards are more expensive, they look great during the day and are very impressive at night if you choose to incorporate LED lighting into the letters.
Back-lit or lightbox signage boards are great for both daytime and nighttime advertising. The light boxes are constructed from aluminium or Perspex and use high-quality translucent vinyl on the lightbox face. All the boxes are sealed and lit from within and are generally hassle-free. While they are a little more costly, the payback is worth it to give potential customers something interesting to look at.
When considering a back-lit sign it is, however, important to consider the location and colours you choose in order for your sign to stand out against other signage boards in the same area.
Banners can be used for indoor and outdoor events. They can be customised with your chosen fonts and graphics and have a wide reach when it comes to enticing potential customers. Due to their size, they can be fairly more cumbersome to put up and remove if that is your intention.
Depending on the banner you choose and where it is placed, they may have the potential to degrade over time. A good option for longer lasting banner signage is the PVC banner which can be front lit, backlit, mesh or block-out.
Neon is used to illuminate your sign and also to create any words which you wish to highlight and bring attention to. Neon is often used on 3D signage boards and is also a great way to give a 'halo' effect to your sign and make it stand out from the competition.
Due to the electronic nature of the sign, they are more costly to buy and do require maintenance to keep them looking in tip-top shape. It is recommended that any breakages are attended to as soon as possible in order that your customers are always assured of your professionalism in all areas of your business.
Here at Signkor, we have many more signage board options to make your signage dreams a reality. Visit our website www.signkor.co.za to view our extensive product range or give us a call so we can help guide and assist you in choosing the best signage boards to build your brand.

Press Release: Mary Cameron: Life in Paint

New exhibition places Edinburgh-born female artist back in the spotlight over 150 years after her birth
Mary Cameron: Life in Paint
2 November 2019 – 15 March 2020
City Art Centre, 2 Market Street, Edinburgh EH1 1DE
In November 2019, Edinburgh's City Art Centre brings the Edinburgh-born artist Mary Cameron (1865-1921) back into the spotlight, displaying over forty rarely-seen artworks from public and private collections.
Mary Cameron: Life in Paint explores the life and career of a woman who was truly ahead of her time, charting her creative journey from elegant family portraits to breath-taking Spanish scenes.
Born in Portobello, Edinburgh, Cameron began her artistic career as a portraitist and genre painter in her native city, before venturing abroad to study in Paris. Foreign travel proved to be a life-long source of inspiration. In 1900 she visited Madrid for the first time, where she became captivated by the Spanish culture, people and scenery. Establishing studios in Madrid and Seville, she painted large-scale compositions of traditional peasant life, dramatic bullfights and rural landscapes.
A thoroughly modern and adventurous woman, Cameron exhibited widely during her lifetime, with her talents being admired by contemporaries such as John Lavery and Alexander Roche. However, like so many female artists of her generation, her name is little-known today. This exhibition aims to change that, with examples of her impressive work complemented by historic photographs and archival material.
The display will be the first dedicated exhibition of Cameron's paintings since her death in 1921. It is accompanied by the forthcoming illustrated catalogue Mary Cameron: Life in Paint, written by Helen E. Scott and published by Sansom & Co.
Councillor Donald Wilson, Edinburgh's Convener of Culture and Communities said: "I'm delighted that the City Art Centre is able to showcase this fantastic exhibition of the rarely seen works of Mary Cameron. It's incredible to think this is the first exhibition dedicated to her since her passing in 1921. "Life in Paint" will take visitors through her creative journey from starting out in Portobello to international travel. Not only will it be an opportunity to celebrate her work, it is also a chance for people to learn about the artist herself and the important role she played in Scottish artworld history and the positive strides she made for women."
Curator Dr Helen Scott said: "This is a really exciting opportunity to showcase a female Scottish artist whose work will be new to most people. During Mary Cameron's lifetime she was fairly well-known. Today, however, her name is scarcely recognised, let alone celebrated.
As a female painter practicing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cameron faced many obstacles in pursuing her ambition to become a professional artist. Women of her generation had far fewer training opportunities than their male peers, and they often encountered discrimination when exhibiting, selling and promoting their art. They had to work doubly hard to succeed as artists and gain recognition. Even when they managed to establish themselves, their posthumous legacies were often eclipsed by the reputations of their more famous male counterparts. Over the years, many of these women have slipped into obscurity and been virtually forgotten.
Mary Cameron was one of those who helped to lay the foundations for greater gender equality in the Scottish art world, and I think it's so important that we celebrate her contribution."

The majority of Americans don't eat enough fruits and vegetables; it could be making them sick
INDIANAPOLIS –With all that's happened this year it stands to reason that people have put an increased focus on staying healthy. So many of us trying to do anything we can to avoid things like COVID-19 and flu.
But it turns out one of the most basic things that is crucial to keeping us healthy, is something most of us struggle to do.
According to the CDC. about 9 out of 10 us adults and kids don't eat enough fruits and vegetables and therefore don't get the proper nutrients. While the lack of healthy eating has had obvious impacts on things like weight, blood pressure and diabetes, it can also be making it easier for us to get sick.
Dr. Jen Hartwell, Chief Wellness Officer for IU Health says deficiencies in nutrients such as Vitamin C, D, Zinc, and Magnesium put us at an increased risk of getting infections.
"Folks who don't get those have a tougher time fighting infection and are more susceptible to getting infections. Not only COVID, but a host of other infections. We're coming up on flu season as well. So the risk of getting a disease and having a tougher time getting through infection, as well as the chronic diseases we see," she said.
Hartwell says there's many reasons as to why people get the proper nutrition. Some just don't like eating certain foods, others tend to rely on the processed pre-packaged options simply out of convenience. But Hartwell adds there's also another more concerning reason that effects countless people around the country.
"For some folks it's become starkly apparent, especially during the covid-19 period, that there's been food insecurity. Which means people don't have access to healthy, low cost food in a place that they can easily get to. Or that they're struggling to have the means to pay for that food. And so, all of those things can contribute to micronutrient and vitamin deficiencies," she said.
Addressing food insecurity and the growing need could go a long way to helping people say healthy.
When it comes to making sure you're getting enough nutrients at meals, Hartwell says try to make sure you have a colorful plate. She recommends filling half of it with fruits and veggies, a quarter of it with a lean meat or fish, and then fill the rest of it with whole grains. She also recommends making sure to eat your nutrients vs just taking a pill or vitamin supplement as the nutrients found in natural food are more easily digested than those in pill form.

Worried your marketing budget won't cover a Snapchat ad campaign? Think again.
Social advertising is nothing new, and most digitally savvy businesses are likely to have at least dipped their toe in the water when it comes to social ads. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter allow businesses to quickly and easily set up advertising campaigns, whether they have a budget of £10 or £100,000.
However, Snapchat, which has allowed adverts for a number of years, has always felt like more of an exclusive club. Typically Snap Inc has only entertained the notion of huge brands with hundreds of thousands of pounds in advertising budget advertising on its platform. Not so anymore. Changes to Snapchat's advertising infrastructure mean it's easier than ever for small businesses to get involved. But what are the changes, and how can small businesses start advertising on the platform?
What changes have been made?
In June, Snapchat rolled out its self-serve Ad Manager, which allows marketers to buy, edit, and manage their ads within an integrated platform. Previously, advertisers would have to contact Snap directly and speak to one of their account managers. However, as discussed, this was a privilege reserved only for the biggest brands with the largest budgets. By taking the personal touch of the account manager out of the equation and allowing smaller businesses to engage with the platform, they are throwing open the doors to anyone and everyone who wants to advertise on their network.
Perhaps the biggest change is the lack of a lower threshold for a budget, allowing marketers with even the most modest of budgets to get their content seen on the platform. This brings the platform in line with Facebook and Instagram, whose success in generating advertising revenue Snapchat will surely hope to emulate.
So how does the ad manager work?
To be honest, it's largely similar to Facebook's awkward, yet powerful Ads Manager interface, but much more stripped back and user-friendly. The targeting options are not quite as precise as they are on Facebook – which mines sizeable amounts of data from its user base – but despite this, there are numerous targeting options to choose from.
Firstly, you can pick from location, age and gender, three standard targeting metrics for social ads. It then allows you to narrow down your audience by their interests, and their shopping habits. None of it is as in depth and highly targeted as Facebook, but it does allow a degree of control over who sees your ads.
Why should I advertise on Snapchat?
You would be forgiven for thinking that – considering Facebook's spectacular targeting options – Snapchat is an inferior product. Snapchat, however, has an ace up its sleeve that Facebook cannot match. While youngsters are either leaving Facebook in their droves or not bothering to sign up in the first place (probably because in 2017, their parents don't just have an account, they actually use it), the user base of Snapchat is overwhelmingly young. 71% of the app's users are under 34 years old, with many older users preferring other similar products, such as the stories feature on Instagram. This means that, if your target demographic is under-30, Snapchat ads allow you to reach those users who don't use Facebook regularly. With the new changes to the ad manager interface, it will be easier than ever before for marketers to reach this audience.

Schools Using Twitter to Excel Learning Environment | The Pinnacle P.O.V.
This is a very interesting video about how a professor from UT Dallas is incorporating Twitter into her curriculum. From an online school perspective, Twitter can be an effective tool for online teachers and students. Since students do not meet in a classroom in an online setting, the micro-blogging service can allow instructors to have an open dialog with their students.
Do you think using Twitter in an online school setting is effective or distracting? Watch the video below and post a comment with your thoughts and opinions.
~ by pinnaclepov2224 on August 21, 2009.
Twitter would be an excellent tool to use. The service can give teachers a new way to engage students and have meaningful group discussions. Many students are already using Twitter to communicate with friends outside of class, so adding it to the classroom could be very appealing.
It is often difficult for traditional schools to accommodate changes in technology or methodology. The use of this technology in education is definitely still in its infancy, but I see it taking off.


The High Court, in its order last February, had allowed Shreya Sen and Jayshree Satpute to file their taxes for 2018-19, without linking Aadhaar with PAN. The Centre then appealed against the Delhi High Court order, to which upheld Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act.
If your PAN is not linked with Aadhaar number, you can not file income tax return (ITR). In a ruling, the Supreme Court of India has made linking of Aadhaar with the Permanent Account Number (PAN) mandatory for filing Income Tax Return for the assessment year 2019-20.
The apex court ruling has turned the order given by the Delhi High Court early last year.
The High Court, in its order last February, had allowed Shreya Sen and Jayshree Satpute to file their taxes for 2018-19, without linking Aadhaar with PAN.
The Centre then appealed against the Delhi High Court order, to which upheld Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act.
"For the assessment year 2019-20, the income tax return (ITR) shall be filed in terms of the judgment passed by this Court," a Bench comprising Justice AK Sikri and Justice S Abdul Nazeer said.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the date to link PAN with Aadhaar till 31 March 2019.
"In view thereof, linkage of PAN with Aadhaar is mandatory," Supreme Court said.
The apex court, in its ruling on Aadhaar last September, made it clear that an individual has to furnish his/her Aadhaar number or the enrolment ID while filing Income Tax returns. It has also made Aadhaar-PAN card linking mandatory as well as the requirement of Aadhaar when applying for PAN card. The new order has been given taking cognizance of September ruling.

Conversion, conversion, conversion! The three C's to any online marketing campaign.
Yes, do your happy dance or have a mental party, but don't think your job is done – yet. You are on a role. Your page visitor is already strolling down that "yes" path, they are engaged, and seemingly loving your business.
Now is the prime time to take this proverbial bull by the horns and ride it all the way to the stall.
How, you ask. A simple thank you page can do wonders to generate even more conversions.
Why the heck is a thank you page important anyway? For many businesses, the thank you page seems to be at the very bottom of the priority barrel. Conversion is not your end goal, it's really just the beginning of your relationship with your visitor.
Customize your thank you pages to your business (and your customer alike) and take that opportunity to grab their attention before they leave. Your thank you page is the perfect opportunity to cross-promote your products, tell visitors about promotions, or ask them for a social media share.
Now let's get down to the nitty gritty and find those 5 ways to utilize the heck out of your thank you pages!
First and foremost, make sure that your visitor gets what they came for.
Begin by covering the conventional purpose of the thank you page and say thank you!
It's a good idea to include the title of the offer on the thank you page itself. This will reassure the visitor that they are on the correct page. Then, if applicable, provide them the means to download, view your content, or print a receipt for their purchase (hard good sales). This could take many forms, such as a PDF of the whitepages, a zip file for the ebook purchased, or even a video explaining what their "next steps" should be. If the offer should happen to revolve around a consultation, be certain to set expectations and set forth when they should expect a phone call or something in their email.
Perfect example of this would be Amazon.com. They cross promote and show recommended products not only inside their shopping portal but also on the thank you page.
The customer has just made a purchase and is in a "yes" kind of mood. By showing them additional products they might like, you can then lead them towards yet another purchase.
You don't run an ecommerce site? If visitors opt into an email campaign or download an ebook or software, you can then suggest other materials or resources that could be relevant to their previous purchase(s).
Yup, you too should hop on the social media bandwagon. This are not only important to your landing pages, they are just as important (if not more) to include them on your thank you pages. Even with all the new changes with Facebook, social media is still a relevant avenue to market to your existing customer base.
A key tip, is to make sure that the links to your social networks open in a new tab or new window. This gives the visitor a chance to read and otherwise consume their purchased content without closing out of the thank you page.
Your thank you page should be genuine and sincere. Ensure that your appreciations is a major feature on the page. You may even add their name and make it more personalized. Sound hard? Not really. There's just a block of code you need to copy and paste into the "head" section of your page. Then, you'll put a smaller block of code wherever you insert form data.
Still sound like too much to handle? It should be easy for your developer, then. Otherwise, here's the code and instructions on how to do it.
By using the visitor's name, your page is more likely to grab their attention and give her an even more positive outlook on your company's goals.
Finally in addition to redirecting to a fully optimized thank you page, you should set up an auto-response email that is automatically sent to the visitors who have filled out your lead/buyer form. This is a tried and true strategy that serves as an additional way to follow up with your new leads and increase repeat conversions by suggesting another offer they might be interested in.
Remember that autoresponders are in addition to the thank you page.
You have their attention, so why not utilize that to ask them about their overall experience thus far. You can ask them to leave a comment about how you are doing or in what ways they believe the process could be improved.
Asking for feedback will allow you to spot issues that you very likely didn't even know were an issue. You will also get a non-biased perspective about how you are doing and what could be improved.
Feedback could be in the way of a short survey, since most people are more than willing to answer a few quick questions (multiple choice) about your business and their experience. Remember to keep it short and simple so that visitors feel inclined to quickly fill it out.
A thank you page, could be, the last impression your visitors have of your business. Don't waste this golden opportunity to reinforce value, promote customer loyalty, and also build a lasting relationship.
How are you utilizing your thank you page to engage your visitors?
Conversions boost up profitability and create more customer engagement with a brand. The mentioned ways are really helpful to determine business growth which every marketer needs to apply on their trade. I strongly agreed with specific content what actually fulfills visitors demand. It is the first steps which satisfy any visitor and create more curiosity for digging more.

People have been journeying to quaint old Cape Cod for centuries. The village of Orleans, is a wonderful seaside town. Locally owned shops line the main street while Nauset Beach and Rock Harbor entice nature lovers and artists the world over. Orleans is a wonderful destination for your next day trip or vacation.
There are plenty of villages on the Cape where you dine on a hearty clam chowder, fried clams and a good lobster roll. Yet, there are times when a local or visitor wants to taste something a bit different, a bit extraordinary.
Vers is a locally owned, family-run business operated by Chef Jonathan Haffmans and his wife and General Manager, Karen Haffmans. Together with Chef de Cuisine Jeremiah Reardon, they have created a truly unique food experience combining the presentation and technique of fine European restaurants with the casual and laid back flair people visiting Cape Cod have come to expect.
At your table, Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho might be followed by Seared Rare Tuna, Vineyard Shiitake, Brewster Bok Choy, Pickled Kohlrabi, Smoked Onion Nage and finished with a Triple Chocolate Semifreddo, Rainier Cherry, Miso Caramel, Kinako. Fine wines, regional brews and a Vers tasting menu draw you in while you sit in the relaxed, comfortable cafe style atmosphere. Sounds amazing, right?
We headed down to Orleans to learn more about the Chefs and their inventive cuisine and new patisserie. We begin with our interview with Executive Chef Jonathan Haffmans who hails from the Netherlands.
When did you become interested in food? How did you become a chef?
I have always been interested in food. I grew up on a farm and if given the choice, I would always chose the chore that had something to do with food over anything else. Gathering the eggs or the honey, even helping with the dishes in the kitchen, were more important to me than laundry.
Eventually, I went to college for Culinary Arts and Restaurant & Hotel Management in The Netherlands and worked in kitchens throughout Europe, the Caribbean and the United States.
What made you realize that you wanted to become a chef?
One of my earliest jobs was at Café Brasserie Dudok in Rotterdam as a barista/bar back. I would watch the chefs put out interesting and flavorful food and just knew I wanted to be one of them.
How has your European heritage influenced your views on cooking and cuisine?
Convenience products are not as prevalent in Europe so I am more inclined to make menu items from scratch. Chicken stock from chicken and not pre-made from a can. Also, we do not have as much of the availability of year-round produce in Europe. We are limited to working with what is in season, which is what we are trying to do at Vers.
The restaurant name Vers means "fresh" in Dutch.
Can you talk about how you use fresh, local ingredients at Vers? Also, do you have any favorite New England food sources, such as farms, fisheries or local brands that you use regularly in preparing the menu?
We work with the local fishermen as well as local farmers to provide our customers with the freshest food possible. If it's in season, we're serving it. Some of our favorite vendors are: Chatham Bars Inn Farm, Cape Cod Organic Farm, Cape Cod Seafarm, Chatham Fish & Lobster, Orleans Seafood, MVM Edibles, Devil's Purse and Mayflower Brewing Companies to name a few.
When I'm home, I like to make very simple but flavorful meals. Roasted chicken with pancetta and olives. Rib-eye steak and lobster on the grill.
Can you describe the cuisine at Vers? What should visitors expect?
Visitors can expect a vibrant and casually elegant restaurant offering modern American cuisine that embraces regional seasonality and freshness. Some sample menu items include: Hamachi Crudo, Vermont Rabbit Paillard, House-made Ricotta Gnocchi, Chatham Hake and Hudson Valley Magret Duck. And as always, we still feature our popular Truth or Dare dessert.
Can you tell us bit about your team?
We have a fantastic team! Our new Chef de Cuisine, Jeremiah Reardon, joined the Vers team in our Orleans location and has been integral to the restaurant's development and success from the start. Many of our front of house servers moved with us from Chatham to Orleans so we still feel like a small family.
What's the best part about owning Vers?
The best part of owning Vers is sharing our love and passion of food and wine with our customers and employees. The restaurant is an extension of our home and our lives.
Please note: Vers is open for dinner at 4:30pm from Wednesday through Saturday through Saturday through February 23, 2019. We will then close until May 1, 2019.

Biomass briquettes are increasingly being used in the developing world as an alternative to charcoal. The technique involves the conversion of almost any plant matter into compressed briquettes that typically have about 70% the calorific value of charcoal. There are relatively few examples of large-scale briquette production. One exception is in North Kivu, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where forest clearance for charcoal production is considered to be the biggest threat to mountain gorilla habitat. The staff of Virunga National Park have successfully trained and equipped over 3500 people to produce biomass briquettes, thereby replacing charcoal produced illegally inside the national park, and creating significant employment for people living in extreme poverty in conflict-affected areas.[18]
Most in the industry agree that 11 m/s (24.6 mph) makes for a good rated wind speed. Go above it and very soon the turbine should be hard at work to protect itself from destruction, by furling, governing, or shutting down. Those that do not will likely face a short and tortured life. If we agree on 11 m/s, an equation for a realistic rated power number is as follows:
Since having the Peimar Solar Panels installed and listening to the advice of the owner I have saved a lot of money on my electric bill. Texas Solar Integrated did the work as quickly and efficiently as promised. If the panels look dirty, since I live around cement plants, I just get my high pressure water hose and spray them off. Thank you to this company and the installers. The owner or another contractor in the office is always ready to answer your questions before and after installation.... read more
"California Looks to Stationary Energy Storage as a Solution to Peaker Plants" • Central California electric utility Pacific Gas & Electric is planning to replace three old natural gas power plants in its network with stationary energy storage installations from Tesla. California is looking to add 1.3 GW of storage to its power grid by 2020. [CleanTechnica]
Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) systems employ sunlight concentrated onto photovoltaic surfaces for the purpose of electrical power production. Contrary to conventional photovoltaic systems, it uses lenses and curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto small, but highly efficient, multi-junction solar cells. Solar concentrators of all varieties may be used, and these are often mounted on a solar tracker in order to keep the focal point upon the cell as the sun moves across the sky.[147] Luminescent solar concentrators (when combined with a PV-solar cell) can also be regarded as a CPV system. Concentrated photovoltaics are useful as they can improve efficiency of PV-solar panels drastically.[148]
Permanent magnets for wind turbine generators contain rare earth metals such as Nd, Pr, Tb, and Dy. Systems that use magnetic direct drive turbines require higher amounts of rare metals. Therefore, an increase in wind production would increase the demand for these resources. It is estimated that the additional demand for Nd in 2035 may be 4,000 to 18,000 tons and Dy could see an increase of 200 to 1200 tons. These values represent a quarter to half of current production levels. However, since technologies are developing rapidly, driven by supply and price of materials these estimated levels are extremely uncertain.[55]
U.S. President Barack Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes more than $70 billion in direct spending and tax credits for clean energy and associated transportation programs. Leading renewable energy companies include First Solar, Gamesa, GE Energy, Hanwha Q Cells, Sharp Solar, Siemens, SunOpta, Suntech Power, and Vestas.[142]

Moving towards energy sustainability will require changes not only in the way energy is supplied, but in the way it is used, and reducing the amount of energy required to deliver various goods or services is essential. Opportunities for improvement on the demand side of the energy equation are as rich and diverse as those on the supply side, and often offer significant economic benefits.[60]

The picture the company is using to sell this on Amazon is not of the turbine they are selling, but a picture of the best-selling South-West Windpower Air X turbine and I bought this item believing it to be this turbine. I also have one of these turbines which has run faultlessly now for 7 years. I am very disappointed with the Sunforce and often feel like throwing into the sea! It's a piece of junk!!
Over the past fifty years, people have adapted their houses with solar collectors to utilise the incoming solar radiation to heat water and living space. You may have seen homes with solar panels on their roofs. Making use of this energy source can account for up to 40% of your electricity bill, so you can see why some people opt for solar collectors. These collectors can heat water for things such as swimming pools, for general water use or to heat the air inside your house.
The stiffness of composites is determined by the stiffness of fibers and their volume content. Typically, E-glass fibers are used as main reinforcement in the composites. Typically, the glass/epoxy composites for wind blades contain up to 75 weight % glass. This increases the stiffness, tensile and compression strength. A promising source of the composite materials in the future is glass fibers with modified compositions like S-glass, R-glass etc. Some other special glasses developed by Owens Corning are ECRGLAS, Advantex and most recently WindStrand glass fibers.

Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. It most often refers to plants or plant-derived materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass.[99] As an energy source, biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. Conversion of biomass to biofuel can be achieved by different methods which are broadly classified into: thermal, chemical, and biochemical methods. Wood remains the largest biomass energy source today;[100] examples include forest residues – such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps –, yard clippings, wood chips and even municipal solid waste. In the second sense, biomass includes plant or animal matter that can be converted into fibers or other industrial chemicals, including biofuels. Industrial biomass can be grown from numerous types of plants, including miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, corn, poplar, willow, sorghum, sugarcane, bamboo,[101] and a variety of tree species, ranging from eucalyptus to oil palm (palm oil).
Solar contractors face many decisions when it comes to finding the best solar design. One important consideration is determining whether to use module-level power electronics (microinverters or DC optimizers). Once costly specialty products, module-level power electronics have made great strides in the last decade and are rapidly growing in popularity. And there's good reason for…
In the 1980s and early 1990s, most photovoltaic modules provided remote-area power supply, but from around 1995, industry efforts have focused increasingly on developing building integrated photovoltaics and power plants for grid connected applications (see photovoltaic power stations article for details). Currently the largest photovoltaic power plant in North America is the Nellis Solar Power Plant (15 MW).[24][25] There is a proposal to build a Solar power station in Victoria, Australia, which would be the world's largest PV power station, at 154 MW.[26][27] Other large photovoltaic power stations include the Girassol solar power plant (62 MW),[28] and the Waldpolenz Solar Park (40 MW).[29]
Biomass, biogas and biofuels are burned to produce heat/power and in doing so harm the environment. Pollutants such as sulphurous oxides (SOx), nitrous oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) are produced from this combustion; the World Health Organisation estimates that 7 million premature deaths are caused each year by air pollution.[102] Biomass combustion is a major contributor.[102][103][104]
The energy it calculates is in kWh per year, the diameter of the wind turbine rotor is in meters, the wind speed is annual average for the turbine hub height in m/s. The equation uses a Weibull wind distribution with a factor of K=2, which is about right for inland sites. An overall efficiency of the turbine, from wind to electrical grid, of 30% is used. That is a reasonable, real-world efficiency number. Here is a table that shows how average annual wind speed, turbine size, and annual energy production relate:
With feed-in tariffs, the financial burden falls upon the consumer. They reward the number of kilowatt-hours produced over a long period of time, but because the rate is set by the authorities, it may result in perceived overpayment. The price paid per kilowatt-hour under a feed-in tariff exceeds the price of grid electricity. Net metering refers to the case where the price paid by the utility is the same as the price charged.
Where the reputable, and more expensive manufacturers are good in honouring their warranties, you are likely on your own with the cheap stuff. Even with a good warranty, take our word for it that you would much rather not make use of it. Even if the manufacturer supplies replacement parts, it is still expensive to install them. Not to mention that your turbine will not be making energy meanwhile.
The windwheel of Hero of Alexandria (10 AD – 70 AD) marks one of the first recorded instances of wind powering a machine in history.[2][3] However, the first known practical wind power plants were built in Sistan, an Eastern province of Persia (now Iran), from the 7th century. These "Panemone" were vertical axle windmills, which had long vertical drive shafts with rectangular blades.[4] Made of six to twelve sails covered in reed matting or cloth material, these windmills were used to grind grain or draw up water, and were used in the gristmilling and sugarcane industries.[5]
The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in harmonizing the disparate estimates of life-cycle GHG emissions for solar PV, found that the most critical parameter was the solar insolation of the site: GHG emissions factors for PV solar are inversely proportional to insolation.[125] For a site with insolation of 1700 kWh/m2/year, typical of southern Europe, NREL researchers estimated GHG emissions of 45 gCO2e/kWh. Using the same assumptions, at Phoenix, USA, with insolation of 2400 kWh/m2/year, the GHG emissions factor would be reduced to 32 g of CO2e/kWh.[126]
This discussion is mainly about factory-made grid-tie wind turbines. The off-grid crowd has an entirely different set of decisions and goals. The main ones are that for off-grid use economic viability in comparison with the electrical grid is not an issue, and a wind turbine can make up for the loss of sunlight (and PV electricity) in the winter months. For the DIY group there are several good turbine designs available; Hugh Piggott and the two Dans have written books that outline this step-by-step. Building your own turbine can be a great hobby, and some of the topics touched below apply (such as proper site selection), but this discussion is not about those. The decisions involved in making your own turbine, and the cost basis, have little overlap with a the process of having an installer put a factory-made turbine in your backyard.
Wind power is widely used in Europe, China, and the United States. From 2004 to 2014, worldwide installed capacity of wind power has been growing from 47 GW to 369 GW—a more than sevenfold increase within 10 years with 2014 breaking a new record in global installations (51 GW). As of the end of 2014, China, the United States and Germany combined accounted for half of total global capacity.[83] Several other countries have achieved relatively high levels of wind power penetration, such as 21% of stationary electricity production in Denmark, 18% in Portugal, 16% in Spain, and 14% in Ireland in 2010 and have since continued to expand their installed capacity.[105][106] More than 80 countries around the world are using wind power on a commercial basis.[76]

The market for renewable energy technologies has continued to grow. Climate change concerns and increasing in green jobs, coupled with high oil prices, peak oil, oil wars, oil spills, promotion of electric vehicles and renewable electricity, nuclear disasters and increasing government support, are driving increasing renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization.[10] New government spending, regulation and policies helped the industry weather the 2009 economic crisis better than many other sectors.[24][197]

The advantage of this approach in the United States is that many states offer incentives to offset the cost of installation of a renewable energy system. In California, Massachusetts and several other U.S. states, a new approach to community energy supply called Community Choice Aggregation has provided communities with the means to solicit a competitive electricity supplier and use municipal revenue bonds to finance development of local green energy resources. Individuals are usually assured that the electricity they are using is actually produced from a green energy source that they control. Once the system is paid for, the owner of a renewable energy system will be producing their own renewable electricity for essentially no cost and can sell the excess to the local utility at a profit.
Other renewable energy technologies are still under development, and include cellulosic ethanol, hot-dry-rock geothermal power, and marine energy.[156] These technologies are not yet widely demonstrated or have limited commercialization. Many are on the horizon and may have potential comparable to other renewable energy technologies, but still depend on attracting sufficient attention and research, development and demonstration (RD&D) funding.[156]
Around the world many sub-national governments - regions, states and provinces - have aggressively pursued sustainable energy investments. In the United States, California's leadership in renewable energy was recognised by The Climate Group when it awarded former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger its inaugural award for international climate leadership in Copenhagen in 2009.[156] In Australia, the state of South Australia - under the leadership of former Premier Mike Rann - has led the way with wind power comprising 26% of its electricity generation by the end of 2011, edging out coal fired generation for the first time.[156] South Australia also has had the highest take-up per capita of household solar panels in Australia following the Rann Government's introduction of solar feed-in laws and educative campaign involving the installation of solar photovoltaic installations on the roofs of prominent public buildings, including the parliament, museum, airport and Adelaide Showgrounds pavilion and schools.[157] Rann, Australia's first climate change minister, passed legislation in 2006 setting targets for renewable energy and emissions cuts, the first legislation in Australia to do so.[158]

This wind generator makes a nice addition to a solar panel system with a small battery bank (my bank is 12vdc with 500 amp hours). The wind generator averages anywhere from 2 to 10 amps on most occasions here in northern Indiana. I have seen the wind generator put out as much as 25 amps during heavy wind conditions (i.e. storms). If you plan to run a large battery bank system then you may want to look into some of the larger KW wind generators or build a solar panel system. I do love the sound of this thing. I would not call it whisper, but it has a nice whirl sound to it when it is charging that puts me to sleep at night. By the way, know your math and do things right. You will find yourself installing some heavy gauge wiring to lower voltage drops that can be a bear to work with.
Most PV cells are used by homes and small businesses. PV cells are expensive, they require a lot of room and the electricity produced is reliant on lots of sunshine, so they are not practical to use for large industry at this stage. Until technology improves, users must weigh up the benefits of an environmentally friendly power source over the cost.


It may be tempting to regard the Supreme Court's deadlocked decision last week in United States v. Texas, the Republican lawsuit challenging the Obama administration's 2014 immigration initiatives, as something of a "non-decision" or "punt." The Court's one-line opinion—which, by convention, affirms the lower court's judgment but has no further precedential effect—does not address any of the substantive issues presented in the case. Nor does the opinion itself disclose how any of the justices voted on any of the questions before them, although there seems little mystery as to which justices were likely on each side of the decision. And especially since the case came to the Supreme Court at the preliminary injunction stage, the litigation may be far from over—making it even more plausible to understand the Court's decision as one that defers ultimate resolution of those issues.
When the justices of the Supreme Court deliberate over the issues in United States v. Texas, the Republican lawsuit seeking to invalidate the Obama administration's immigration initiatives, they would do well to reflect upon just how far the arguments that the plaintiffs have presented to them diverge from those that were presented to Judge Andrew Hanen in the Southern District of Texas when the lawsuit was originally filed.
In an essay published earlier this week, Prof. Michael Kagan expresses concern that "one aspect" of the Obama administration's executive actions on immigration might be vulnerable when the Supreme Court adjudicates United States v. Texas later this year. In particular, Kagan worries that the plaintiffs might "have a valid point" when they assert that the administration's initiatives—Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents and its predecessor, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals—improperly purport "to make lawful something that Congress has made unlawful." Kagan's concern rests principally—and possibly in its entirety—on a stray line in the memorandum issued by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to establish DAPA and expand DACA, which states that "deferred action … means that, for a specified period of time, an individual is permitted to be lawfully present in the United States" (emphasis added).
This week, three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Judges José A. Cabranes, John M. Walker, Jr., and Barrington D. Parker, Jr., are once again hearing oral argument in the long-running legal battle over the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk practices. With New York City voters having delivered a decisive mandate for stop-and-frisk reform in last year's mayoral election, it is time for the Second Circuit to permit the reform process to move forward without any further delay.

Video: Man Flying Back Into Canada Refuses Airport COVID Test
Canadians who test positive forced to undergo quarantine in government facility.
After a new policy mandating Canadians take an airport COVID test to determine whether they will have to undergo quarantine at a government facility was introduced yesterday, a viral video clip shows a man refusing to take the test before being issued with a fine.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined the details of the new policy in a tweet yesterday afternoon.
"Update: If you're flying back into Canada, you'll need to show a negative PCR test result before you board the plane – and as of today, you'll need to take another PCR test when you land. You'll then have to wait at an approved hotel, at your own expense, for your test results," Trudeau tweeted.
Update: If you're flying back into Canada, you'll need to show a negative PCR test result before you board the plane – and as of today, you'll need to take another PCR test when you land. You'll then have to wait at an approved hotel, at your own expense, for your test results.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) February 22, 2021
Under the rule, if the test is negative, Canadians are still forced to quarantine in their own homes, a policy that will be "enforced" according to Trudeau.
Those who test positive for COVID-19 are forced to quarantine in "designated government facilities" for 14 days. Another PCR test is then required towards the end of the quarantine.
However, a video clip posted to Instagram by Chris Sky shows him arriving at an airport in Canada and refusing to take the test. The video has received over 500,000 views.
"Got my bags, we're gonna go outside and refuse their stupid test and tell everybody to refuse their stupid test," says Sky in the clip.
The video shows Sky being asked why he is not wearing a mask before he explains to officials that the COVID test is a "violation of our charter rights section 6 and a violation of the Emergency Act 14.1 – so I'm going to be declining your test today."
Sky then tells the other people in the queue to deny the test if they are Canadian citizens, claiming "they cannot stop you, they cannot force you, you are a citizen, you have rights."
Police then ask Sky for identification before asking again if he is refusing to take the test.
"I refuse to take your test a million percent," he responds.
After being told he is getting a ticket, police refuse to say how many people have been "convicted," with Sky insisting the number is "zero."
"Why? It's a violation of our charter rights, so when that ticket goes to court, they throw it the fuck out – it's that simple," states Sky.
After being issued with the fine, Sky was presumably allowed to leave the airport and re-enter Canada without undergoing a COVID test or being told to quarantine.

The trail was planned with care and its route was coordinated with dozens of organizations that have expressed good will and invested their time and energy in making it a reality. All of us are riders who love nature, and as such, it is our responsibility to help in its conservation for everyone. The purpose of the trail is to expose its riders to Israel's beauty, but that also comes at a cost. Areas from which visitors have so far been excluded will from now on host a significant number of riders each year. This is a price that nature will pay but it is up to us to determine how high it is. If we ride and preserve what exists, the cost will be negligible.
This is a general rule that applies to all mountain biking. The trail is planned so that you don't need to get off it. Its width varies from 40 cm to 1 m and its route was chosen so as to minimize damage, whether aesthetic or ecological. Any deviation from the trail can demage the landscape, changes the flow of rainwater (and can destroy plant life), and harms the ground's surface by possibly creating new channels for surface runoff. We've worked hard to build and maintain the trail so riders won't need to leave it. If you encounter a section you can't pedal, don't create your own path – walk your bike. This rule also holds true when you encounter rocks and steps that "beg" to be jumped from. Please, leave the stunts for somewhere else.
Others who are using the trail are travelers just like you, lovers of nature and of the land. While you're riding you'll probably meet other cyclists as well as hikers. A sudden encounter may startle people, so make sure to adapt your speed to other users on the trail and in your field of vision up ahead. Signal to pedestrians, yield to them and don't surprise them. Greet other trail users and offer assistance when needed.
There are no sanitation workers out in the wilderness. If you haul it in, you haul it out. Bring trash bags with you to clean up after yourselves – extra points if you clean after others as well. Littered ground encourages continued disregard; well-kept spaces encourage continued cleanliness.
Do not pick or trample plants or scare animals.
To maintain safe and enjoyable riding conditions for riders who come after you, try not to ride immediately after a rainfall. This makes grooves in the trail. Abrupt stops and locking your wheels also ruts the path. Adjust your speed to riding conditions so as not to damage the trail's infrastructure.
You are riding in areas that pass near fields, orchards, villages and Bedouin camps. Respect the inhabitants' sources of livelihood. Don't touch their property and don't pick fruits and vegetables. Do not cross fields or enter greenhouses.
We ask you to set an example and to take responsibility and initiative for what's happening around you. Provide help to those who need it, report damage to surroundings as well as illegal behavior. While you're riding the trail you can serve as watchful eyes assisting the authorities who are tasked with protecting nature and upholding the law.
None of the above replaces the basic rules of riding safety or the rules of behavior established by the managing bodies of Israel's open spaces, such as the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, the Jewish National Fund or the regional councils through which the trail passes.


A study by Finder.com shows that fewer than one in ten Americans own digital currency and explains the reason given by those who don't own any.
A survey by Finder.com shows that 8 percent of Americans own cryptocurrency, with another 8 percent planning to buy in the future. Unsurprisingly, men twice as likely to own digital currency than women, and Millennials are far more likely to own crypto than any other generation. The survey showed that 17 percent of Millennials own cryptocurrency, with only 9 percent of Generation X and 2 percent of Baby Boomers claiming to own any. Of the respondents that didn't own any cryptocurrency, 40 percent didn't see a need and 35 percent thought it was too risky.

Q: How To Get Total Prices From ListView Collection in Xamarin Forms I've been looking online for a simple solution but can't seem to find any.
I simply want to generate a total price from all the item prices in my listview collection but can't seem to figure out how to do this.
How do I add all the product prices in my list and output them onto the total label?
Here's my code:
public ViewFBShoppingCart()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            ObservableCollection<FBProduct> fbproducts = new ObservableCollection<FBProduct>();
            shoppingcartlistview.ItemsSource = fbproducts;

            var producttitle = "Apple";
            var productprice = "$37.95";
            var productimage = "image link goes here";

            var producttitle2 = "Pear";
            var productprice2 = "$32.95";
            var productimage2 = "image link goes here";

            fbproducts.Add(new FBProduct
            {
                ProductName = producttitle,
                ProductPrice = productprice,
                ProductImage = productimage
            });

            fbproducts.Add(new FBProduct
            {
                ProductName = producttitle2,
                ProductPrice = productprice2,
                ProductImage = productimage2
            });

        }

A: Assuming you are following MVVM pattern, first subscribe to your collection's event fbproducts.CollectionChanged += fbproducts_CollectionChanged and then inside that method based on NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs each time an item is added or removed you should raise the property changed event of a new readonly property that computes the sum using a loop or a 1-line Linq.
    private void fbproducts_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add || e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove)
        {
            RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(PriceSum));
        }
    }

    public decimal PriceSum => fbproducts.Sum(x => decimal.Parse(x.ProductPrice.Substring(1)));

You should also consider changing ProductPrice type to decimal instead of string.

A: I suggest not using formatted string like "$35.00" you can format it later using Text="{Binding ProductPrice, StringFormat='${0}'} in your .xaml file
But in that case: You can use Linq
string total = fbproducts.Select(a => new { Converted = Convert.ToDouble(a.ProductPrice.Replace("$", "")) }).ToList().Sum(a => a.Converted).ToString("#,0.00");

A: string TotalProductPrices(ObservableCollection<FBProduct> fbproducts)
{
    var total = fbproducts.Sum(x => decimal.Parse(x.ProductPrice, NumberStyles.Currency));
    return total.ToString("c");
}

POLS ON THE STREET: Bullet Voting – Whom Do You Love, Really?
May 2, 2019 | Filed under: Featured News,Subject Categories | Posted by: Tony West
JOE BIDEN kicked off his presidential campaign Apr. 25 at a fundraiser at Comcast VP David Cohen's Mount Airy home.
BY JOE SHAHEELI
An important political tactic comes into play in primary races where there are multiple seats in a given office which are being contested by more candidates than there are seats.
Example: Democrats get to nominate two seats on City Commission – but there are 13 candidates for those seats on their primary ballot. All Democrats are entitled to vote for their two favorites among that lot.
If, however, you are strongly rooting for one candidate in particular – then it may be a strategic mistake for you to cast a second vote for the next-best candidate. That's because the next-best candidate may use your vote to come in second – thereby winning a berth on the November ballot and a sure win – nudging out your favorite, who came in third.
For this reason, seasoned political operatives want their hardcore supporters to cast only one vote, for their champion. If you are really excited about one candidate, you should vote only for that candidate, no matter how many other choices stare at you on the ballot.
Bullet voting matters greatly in at-large councilmanic races, for both Republicans and Democrats. It's a game of musical chairs for those five names on the November ballot. If you are dedicated to electing one person in particular, don't vote for four more names, no matter how highly you think of them.
CONGRESSMAN Brendan Boyle recently travelled to Ireland with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on a trip to Ireland to discuss BREXIT issues. This is a picture of them crossing the border in Belfast to demonstrate our support for the Good Friday Agreement.
The same is true in judicial races, where six openings are being contested by more than a score of candidates. If there is one person that you are convinced should be a judge, vote only for that person. Any five other votes you cast may wind up defeating your favorite.
It seems counterintuitive, in a time when all activists decry low voter turnout, to encourage people not to vote for every choice that lies before them as citizens. But the first mission in voting is to enable your people to win and bulleting is a way to win.
This doesn't matter if your choices are more generic than personal. Say you're rooting to elect as many judges as possible who are saints, or scholars, or Slovenians, or southpaws. If you have a list of six potential jurists who qualify in your category, then vote for those six.
If you are primarily loyal to a slate chosen by an interest group you identify with, it's smart to vote that slate: There is strength in numbers. But if you know and like a candidate off its slate, you can "BB bullet" him or her by skipping one on your team's slate and punching your pal's button instead.
FLANKING councilmanic at-large candidate Vinny Black at RePoint Philadelphia candidates forum were organizers Aaron Wunsch and Janice Woodcock. The event, held at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens on South Street, drew numerous candidates such as Black, who closed with his campaign slogan, "I'm Vinny Black and I got your back."
Election strategy can be baffling for an ordinary voter. But it can also be fun to learn and practise. And it's free.
FOP Gives Nod to Dan Tinney
Philadelphia FOP Lodge 5 has endorsed Republican candidate Dan Tinney in his campaign for City Council at Large in the May 19 primary election.
"We are very proud to endorse Dan Tinney for City Council At-Large in the primary election. Tinney is a neighborhood guy with strong ties to our members in the community. We believe he will always support our brothers and sisters in blue in City Hall. Our members need allies in City Hall now more than ever," said FOP President John McNesby.
"I am very humbled and honored to receive the endorsement of the FOP. Their support means so much to me because they represent so many of my family, friends and neighbors in Northeast Philadelphia. They sacrifice so much at such great personal expense. I will be a strong voice for the police community in City Hall," Tinney responded.
FOP endorsement is a big boost in urban Republican politics because its members all live in Philadelphia, many lean Republican and all are trained in team spirit.
Gym Racks up Endorsements
The final weeks before a primary see a flurry of endorsements. Councilwoman Helen Gym has picked up her share.
A BREAKFAST support meeting for Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr., C, was hosted by Bellevue Strategies last week.
She announced last week she had picked up hugs from Ascend PAC, One Pennsylvania, UNITE HERE and the Sierra Club. "As a big believer in local politics and community organizing, I'm grateful to have the support of groups committed to uplifting a progressive agenda," she said.
Number 1 Draws Rivera-Reyes Fans
Pulling top position on the councilmanic at-large ballot always invites a closer look from a host of endorsers. In all fairness, Adrián Rivera-Rivera-Reyes already had certain angles going for him before that moment, though.

In the past week, Latino Victory Fund announced its endorsement of Rivera-Reyes in the Democratic primary on May 21.
"From growing up in a working-class family in Puerto Rico to becoming a PhD cancer researcher, Adrián Rivera-Reyes' perspective and voice are what's missing in the Philadelphia City Council," said Latino Victory Fund Interim President Melissa Mark-Viverito. "Adrián's passion for helping Philadelphia's working families is nothing new. As a community organizer, he has seen firsthand what struggling families are going through. He will be the strongest advocate at City Hall, fighting for quality housing, education, and health care. Make no mistake: this PhillyRican can get things done."
"Our city is better when our leaders reflect our diversity," said Rivera-Reyes. Philadelphia has the largest Puerto Rican population after New York City.
AT-LARGE councilmanic candidate Justin DiBerardinis, C, made his case to the Schuylkill Navy at an event at Crescent Boat Club. He posed here with Commodore of the Schuylkill Navy Paul Horvat and Vice Commodore Bonnie Mueller.
Rivera-Reyes also picked up the kiss of the Working Families Party.
In 2017, Working Families Party, one of the largest and most active progressive organizations nationwide, backed 1036 candidates across 23 states, and won in nearly 2/3 of its races. WFP was active in many of the recent progressive victories in Philadelphia, including Larry Krasner, Chris Rabb, Joe Hohenstein and Elizabeth Fiedler.
Speaking for her party, Vanessa Clifford said, "As a member of City Council, Adrian will stand up for fully-funded public schools, higher wages, affordable housing and a Green New Deal. We are proud to support him."
"With their support, we will make Philadelphia a city that puts working class people first," responded Rivera-Reyes.
A CITYWIDE Community Day and Anti-Violence Summit was sponsored by the Philadelphia Masjid and the Coalition for the Reconstruction of Unified Community Involvement & Leadership at Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse in Fairmount Park E.

Gordon Snaps up the Choice 9th Ward
Tracey Gordon was thrilled to trumpet her endorsement by the 9th Ward Democrats in the race for Register of Wills.
Dormant for years under the leadership of incumbent Ron Donatucci, who has a management record with no glaring stumbles, this primary contest has drawn two challengers this year, Jacque Whaumbush and Gordon.
Gordon served as deputy City commissioner and has been around town both in that capacity and in progressive political circles.
The 9th Ward Democrats are a bastion of well-heeled progressives who also show up at the polls in large numbers.
Memo to all candidates in a contested citywide race: Travel north of Market Street once in a while.
Libertarian Toure Hunts at-Large Seat

Maj Toure, activist and Philly native, has declared his candidacy in an at-large bid for Philadelphia City Council. In his words:
"Philadelphia's City Council has problem. We are under-educating our young people. Citizens are being lied to about marijuana. Our neighbors are being locked up. We need new solutions. I am running for this seat to be a Solutionary. Things need to change, and I will be that change when I am in office."
Toure outlined his priorities as criminal-justice reform: to end the practice of solitary confinement; legalization of marijuana: bring home our family members now; and improved education in Philadelphia: conflict resolution training for disconnected youths.
Toure describes himself as a hip-hop artist turned 2nd Amendment advocate.

CN D - Centre national de la danse 2005 - Director : Pasquier, Arnold
Choreographer(s) : Desprairies, Julie (France)
Present in collection(s): Centre national de la danse
Video producer : Compagnie des prairies
Following theatre and visual arts studies, she created her first production in 1998 in stone quarries of Pont-du-Gard. The site's materials, usages and specificities are at the origin of her work. She asserts her contextual approach by applying it to a number of modern and contemporary architectures. Her choreographies are written and presented in the buildings, whose spatial, historical and human characteristics guide her dramaturgical, plastic and choreographic choices. She advocates applied dance (like "applied art"), where the body serves as a tool to measure the spaces built. Her aim is to give visibility to the movement of places.
Her love of the gestures taken from the places she occupies has led to her interest in working gestures. She frequently associates with her creations the people she has met in these places (140 inhabitants and tradespeople from the Gratte-ciel in Villeurbanne, 192 amateurs and employees from the Opéra de Lyon). While her performances take place in public places, she develops adaptable projects, based on landscapes and agriculture or on the theme of the funfair.
She has set up an "Atelier de création radiophonique", a programme for the radio station France Culture and produced three films: Autour du parc at La Villeneuve in Grenoble with Louise Narboni, Cinq points de vue autorisés on Les Courtillières, with Vladimir Léon and L'Architecte de Saint-Gaudens, with Serge Bozon. She has mounted a number of projects overseas, inviting native dancers, and has written Manuel d'entraînement régulier du danseur urbain and Danser l'architecture (2017).

Arnold Pasquier was born in Paris in 1968. After studying visual arts and cinema, he made tests in Super 8 and video, in which he developed a world of filmed newspapers and fictions. At the age of twenty, he approaches contemporary dance and collaborates with choreographers as documentarist and dancer. This experience marks the realization of a work where dance holds an important place.
From 1997 to 1999, he was received as a resident artist at the Fresnoy (Tourcoing, France) where he designed the installation "C'est ici que j'avais des baisers" (1997-1999) and produced about twenty short films, four radio design workshops For France Culture and dance performances capturing. In 1999, he presented the show "C'est merveilleux" in the Grande Nef du Fresnoy. He is the author of numerous films (fiction, documentary, video art), staged shows, scenographies, radio broadcasts. His work is articulated at the crossroads of these different disciplines. Winner of a residence Villa Médicis Hors les Murs (outside the wall) in Sao Paulo in 2004, he dances for Julie Desprairies in "La danse en accès accès", "Vue sur la mer" and "Là commence le ciel". He co-signs with her the video-dance installation "Les 3 contents", the result of the residence of the choreographer at the Manufacture de Sèvres (France).
