A budapesti rugalmas közlekedési rendszer egy igényvezérelt közlekedési rendszer. A szolgáltatás célja a ritkán lakott területek bevonása a közösségi közlekedésbe.

A rugalmas közlekedési rendszer használata előzetes regisztrációt nem igényel. Az utazási szándékot telefonon előre kell jelezni, egyes esetekben azonban ez a járművezetőnél is megtehető.

Nappali járatok

60A és 60B villamospótló busz
2018-ban és 2020-ban 60A és 60B jelzéssel a fogaskerekű vágányzára miatt pótlóbuszok közlekedtek, melyeket előzetes igénybejelentéssel lehetett igénybe venni.

65-ös busz

A Kolosy tér és a Fenyőgyöngye között közlekedő járat útvonalát 2014. október 1-jén meghosszabbították a Szépvölgyi dűlőig, korábbi útvonalán újraindult a 65A jelzésű betétjárat. A 65-ös Fenyőgyöngye és Szépvölgyi dűlő között munkanapokon csúcsidőszakban fixen közlekedik a meghirdetett menetrend szerint, az egyéb időszakokban csak akkor, ha utazási igény jelentkezik. Az utazási igényt lehet jelezni telefonon, illetve a Szépvölgyi dűlő felé a jármű vezetőjénél is. Ha nincsen utas, akkor az autóbusz csak a Fenyőgyöngyéig közlekedik, majd innen indul vissza a Kolosy térre.

157-es busz

2014. április 1-jén a korábban a Hűvösvölgy és Budaliget, Géza fejedelem útja között közlekedő 157-es busz útvonalát meghosszabbították Solymár, Kerekhegyig, ahová hétköznap üzemkezdettől kötött menetrend szerint, 20 óra után, illetve hétvégi napokon pedig csak igény esetén közlekedik. A Géza fejedelem útjáig e dátumtól kezdve a 157A busz jár. Az utazási igényt lehet jelezni telefonon, illetve a Solymár felé a jármű vezetőjénél is. Ha nincsen utazási igény, akkor a busz a Géza fejedelem útjánál fordul vissza Hűvösvölgy felé.

219-es busz

2013. november 4-én új járatot indítottak 219-es jelzéssel egy korábban autóbuszok által kiszolgálatlan területen, a Csillaghegy HÉV-állomástól az Aranyhegyre. A vonalon mikrobusz közlekedik, amely a szűk utcákban tolatással, vagy tengelyben is meg tud fordulni. A járat minden időszakban csak igény esetén közlekedik. Az utazási igényt csak telefonon lehet jelezni, a járat pedig csak azokat a le- és felszálló helyeket érinti, ahonnan vagy ahová az igény érkezett. A 260-as busszal együtt ez Budapest első nappali igényvezérelt járata.

2019. június 15-étől hétköznap reggel 6 és 9 óra, illetve délután 13 és 21 óra között igénybejelentés nélkül is közlekedik.

260-as busz

2013. november 4-én a 260-as busz útvonalát a Kocsis Sándor úttól meghosszabbították a Harsánylejtő felé, korábbi útvonalán 260A jelzéssel indult új járat. A 260-as buszok a Kocsis Sándor úttól csak igény esetén közlekedtek tovább, melyet telefonon és a járművezetőnél is lehetett jelezni. A 219-es busszal együtt ez Budapest első nappali igényvezérelt járata. 2016. január 16-án a budai fonódó villamoshálózat átadásával a 260-as útvonala jelentősen rövidült, a Batthyány tér helyett csak az Óbudai rendelőintézetig közlekedik, és a telebusz rendszer megszűnt, ezentúl minden busz felmegy a Virágosnyereg útig.

269-es busz

2019. október 1-jén 269-es jelzéssel indult új járat a Rákoscsaba vasútállomás és a Színes utca között, a csúcsidőn kívül csak előzetes igény bejelentése esetén indítják el.

297-es busz

A járatot 2014. október 6-án indították a Rákoscsaba-Újtelep vasútállomás és a Nyeremény utca között. A járaton mikrobuszok közlekednek, 6 és 9 óra, valamint 14 és 19 óra között fix menetrenddel, egyéb időszakban pedig csak igény esetén. Útvonalán korábban nem jártak autóbuszok. Az utazási igényt telefonon előre kell jelezni, vagy a végállomáson a jármű vezetőjénél.

298-as busz

A járatot 2014. október 6-án indították a Rákoscsaba vasútállomás és a Zimonyi utca között. A járaton mikrobuszok közlekednek, 6 és 9 óra, valamint 14 és 19 óra között fix menetrenddel, egyéb időszakban pedig csak igény esetén. Útvonalán korábban nem jártak autóbuszok. Az utazási igényt telefonon előre kell jelezni, vagy a végállomáson a jármű vezetőjénél.

H8SZ busz

A H8SZ jelzésű HÉV-pótló busz Mogyoród és Szentjakab között közlekedik, amikor a HÉV-vonalon pályakarbantartást végeznek. A viszonylaton mikrobuszok közlekednek és csak előzetes igény bejelentése után indulnak el. Az utazási igényt telefonon előre kell jelezni, vagy a végállomáson a jármű vezetőjénél. Először 2015. május 9-én járt.

Éjszakai járatok

937-es busz

A 937-es Budapest első igényvezérelt autóbuszaként indult el 2006. november 3-án a Közvágóhídtól a Hungária körúton keresztül a Bécsi útig, ahonnan igény esetén az Erdőalja út, illetve a Máramarosi út felé továbbközlekedik. Az utazási igényt telefonon és a jármű vezetőjénél is lehet jelezni.

Q: Threaded python socket server I have a Multihtreaded Server with python that can handle clients request, but i have a problem with this.
In my Server Class  I have a start function that start listening to clients like this:
class Server:
    def __init__(self, clients={}):
        self.clients = clients
        self.ip = 'localhost'
        self.port = ****
        self.pattern = '(C\d)'

def start(self):
    self.s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    self.s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
    self.s.bind((self.ip, self.port))
    self.s.listen(10)
    while 1:
        clientsock, addr = self.s.accept()
        print ('Connected with ' + addr[0] + ':' + str(addr[1]))
        _thread.start_new_thread(self.handler, (clientsock, addr))
def handler(self, clientsock, addr):
    data = clientsock.recv(BUFF)
    print ('Data : ' + repr(data))
    data = data.decode("UTF-8")
    result = re.match(self.pattern, data)
    print (data)
    if(result):
        self.registerClient(clientsock, data)
    if(data == "Exit"):
        self.exitClient(clientsock)
def server_response(self, message, flag, err):
    if(flag):
        res = message.encode('utf-8')
        return res
    else:
        res = message.encode('utf-8')+ "[ ".encode('utf-8')+err.encode('utf-8')+ " ]".encode('utf-8')
        return res

def registerClient(self, clientsock, data):
    if(data in self.clients):
        err = "Error : Client Name Exist!"
        clientsock.send(self.server_response('Reg#NOK#', 0, err))
        clientsock.close()
        sys.exit(1)
    self.clients[clientsock] = data
    clientsock.send(self.server_response('Reg#OK', 1, ''))
def exitClient(self, clientsock):
    try:
        f = self.clients.pop(clientsock)
        clientsock.send(self.server_response('BYE#OK', 1, ''))
        clientsock.close()
    except KeyError:
        err = "Error : Client Doesn't Connected To Server!"
        clientsock.send(self.server_response('BYE#NOK#', 0, err))
        clientsock.close()
        sys.exit(1)

And this is my client Class:
class Client:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.ip = '127.0.0.1'
        self.next_client = None
        self.s = ""
        try:
            self.s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        except:
            print ('Reg#NOK#[ ' + msg[1] + ' ]')
            sys.exit()
def register(self, server):
    self.s.connect((server.ip, server.port))
    message = self.name
    try:
        self.s.sendall(bytes(message, 'UTF-8'))
    except (socket.error):
        print ('Send Failed')
        sys.exit()

    reply = self.s.recv(4096)
    print ("Respose From Server : " + reply.decode("utf-8") )
def exitFromServer(self, server):
    message = "Exit".encode('utf-8')
    try:
        a = self.s.sendall(message)
    except (socket.error):
        print ('Send Failed')
        sys.exit()

    reply = self.s.recv(4096)

And this is the main file:
from server import *
from client import *
import _thread

a = Server()
_thread.start_new_thread(a.start, ())
b = Client("C1")
b.register(a)
b.exitFromServer(a)

As you can see when start function from Server class called there is no thread that can handle create Client , I mean when I use start function like this with out thread there is no way that program can go ahead in main file , I know I should use another thread here but where and how, I use Python 3.4, Thanks for helping me.
Edit
the Problem with start was Solved , Thanks from tdelaney,
but when I run this only the register function works and exitFromServer dont do anything can you tell me where is the problem.the program dosent do anything after execute register function and it seems that its wating for something.

A: This mean?
import threading
from server import *
from client import *

global a
a = Server()
def sServer():
    global a
    a.start()

def cClient():
    global a
    b = Client("C1")
    b.register(a)

s = threading.Thread(name='server', target=sServer)
c = threading.Thread(name='client', target=cClient)

s.start()
c.start()

A: In Server Class I must add another while True loop  after handler function cause it shuould do all client request till client has request:
def handler(self, clientsock, addr):
    while 1:
        data = clientsock.recv(BUFF)
        print ('Data : ' + repr(data))
        data = data.decode("UTF-8")
        result = re.match(self.pattern, data)
        if(result):
            self.registerClient(clientsock, data)
        if(data == "Exit"):
            self.exitClient(clientsock)
            break

IFM Investors Chief Executive Brett Himbury to retire after a decade
IFM Investors Chief Executive, Brett Himbury, has today announced his retirement from executive roles, effective December 2020.
IFM Investors, which is owned by 27 Industry Super Funds, has grown to be a significant global funds management business. IFM Investors now manages $148 billion from industry super funds, pension funds and aligned investors in Australia and 22 other countries.
Brett Himbury said the business was in an exceptionally strong position to continue delivering superior retirement outcomes for working people around the world.
"The recent release of the tenth set of annual results during my time as Chief Executive was not only a source of immense pride, but also the opportunity to reflect on the past and consider my future.
"Over the past decade, IFM Investors has transformed and globalised while retaining an unyielding focus - consistent with our industry super fund owners - on strong net returns to members.
"It has been a privilege to lead one of the best performing businesses in the highly competitive world of global funds management.
"IFM Investors is ultimately owned by the millions of working Australians who are members of industry super funds and pension funds.
"Our member-first purpose has driven superior performance. Over 10 years, our shareholder return to industry super funds has been 17.8% - nearly double the ASX 200 average. We've been able to achieve this by recognising that if we first serve our members, strong shareholder returns will follow - rather than the other way around.
"That is something unique in a global context – and all Australians can be proud of that."
Brett Himbury has held executive roles for 38 years, including 15 as a CEO. During the remainder of his tenure he will work closely with the IFM Investors team and Board to facilitate a smooth transition.
"I look forward to my next era as a non-executive and to contributing to a small range of organisations in board and advisory roles," Mr Himbury said.
Greg Combet AM, Chair of IFM Investors said: "Under Brett's leadership IFM Investors has delivered extraordinary returns to millions of Australian industry super fund members, and millions more workers through their pension funds.
"Brett has been a champion of the member-first ethos of industry super funds, and firmly aligned IFM Investors with the interests of its superannuation and pension fund investors.
"IFM now has 90 per cent of its products and mandates outperforming client objectives, with the strategic and financial flexibility to further invest and evolve. The Board is grateful for the role Brett has played over ten remarkable years and we are enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead given the competitive position we now enjoy."
A global search for the next Chief Executive will commence shortly.

Almost all durable goods orders declined, except for motor vehicles and parts, electrical equipment and appliances and fabricated metal products.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Orders for U.S. durable goods dropped broadly in December, led by a sharp fall in transportation equipment, signaling some persistent weakness in the manufacturing sector, government data released Tuesday showed.
New orders for long-lasting manufactured goods fell 3.4% from November to $230.5 billion, the fourth decline in five months, the Commerce Department said.
The department revised November's decrease to 2.1% from the prior estimate of 0.7%.
In December, excluding the volatile transportation sector, new durable goods orders fell 0.8%. Excluding defense, they were down 3.2%.
Almost all durable goods orders declined, except for motor vehicles and parts (+2.7%), electrical equipment and appliances (+1.2%) and fabricated metal products (+1.0%).
Transportation equipment orders fell for the fourth time in five months, by 9.2%.
New orders for capital goods, an indication of business investment, dropped 2.6%.
Year-over-year, durable goods orders ended 2014 with a 6.2% gain.
Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, noted that stripping away the highly volatile aircraft and defense components, durable goods orders edged higher in December.
"However, core capex orders were weak again. While they are also quite volatile, the weakness in the last couple of months is somewhat concerning," he said.

DONTNOD's New Game Twin Mirror Finally Has A Release Date
Twin Mirror Is DONTNOD's Mystery Thriller And It Brings Serious Twin Peaks Vibes
By James Berich 1 month ago
I adore DONTNOD. They're one of my favourite studios, and one that I feel is oft underappreciated when it comes to storytelling in games. I adored Remember Me. I loved how simple but effective Life Is Strange was. I was enamoured by how different and ambitious Vampyr was. I struggled to connect as quickly with Life Is Strange 2 on the same level as their other games but found Tell Me Why to be a refreshing and enlightening experience. My point is that all their games up until this point have been fantastic in one way or another. It pains me to say, then, that Twin Mirror fails to deliver on its intriguing premise.
Twin Mirror follows the story of investigative journalist Sam Higgs, returning to the fictional town of Basswood, West Virginia, following the death of one of his close friends. However, as both Sam and his friend's daughter suspect foul play, not all is as it seems. Adding to the investigation's challenge, Sam isn't very well-liked in Basswood, having written a controversial expose piece that not only closed the booming mine that the town built upon economically but also left many people unemployed.
At first appearance, Twin Mirror's premise sounds like a sure-fire hit. A small-town mystery, a central protagonist with tumultuous history with literally everybody in the town, and a dark and seedy underbelly disguised by a typical middle America. It sounds great! But unfortunately, Twin Mirror fails to capitalise on its tantalising ambition, instead plodding along as Sam sleepwalks through the plot. None of the characters ever experience meaningful development, and there's barely any twists or turns that you either didn't see coming or were revelatory enough to shock. It's just there, and that's unfortunate given DONTNOD's otherwise stellar pedigree.
Twin Mirror attempts to shakeup the now ubiquitous DONTNOD formula to introduce two elements of Sam's personality. The "Mind Palace" mainly represents his more analytical side. It's a place that Sam can escape mentally to piece together his investigations and come to accurate conclusions. The other is "Him" or "The Double", a cooler suaver version of Sam that appears to Sam to help him overcome social situations while still overly analytical. Both sides of Sam's psyche are at odds with each other – and most players will eventually find themselves gravitating towards one more than the other.
Given the way Sam acts and behaves, it seems that DONTNOD is dancing around the fact that Sam is meant to be somebody on the autistic spectrum, but the representation here is spotty at best. It's incredibly disappointing given how closely the team worked with GLAAD for Tell Me Why and is just another thing about Twin Mirror that feels half-baked.
The Mind Palace is where the crux of the "game" aspect of Twin Mirror happens. In it, Sam can adjust certain aspects of a crime scene to play out a hypothetical situation. In doing so, the Mind Palace will help Sam to highlight why his hypothesis might or might not be correct. Anyone who played DONTNOD's 2013 debut, Remember Me, will be familiar with this setup. You essentially backtrack along with a scene, changing key details until they line up with what happened. These moments are reasonably engaging, though they feel ultimately lacking in their consequence. There are rarely any adverse outcomes for coming up with the wrong conclusion, which once again falls short of what we know DONTNOD are capable of as storytellers.
The Mind Palace is also where you'll go to view memories, each providing some key backstory to Sam's history with the town and some of its residents. But once again, they rarely offer any penetrating insight, and most of the surprises are ones you would've naturally assumed anyway. Perhaps these aspects of the plot were to be explored when the game was presumably a more extended, episodic experience. But Twin Mirror feels, quite frankly, only barely finished.
Anyone who is still morbidly curious to see how Twin Mirror is both equal parts compelling and meandering will discover quickly what I mean by this as the credits roll on their five-hour run. The story feels like it's building up to something much more remarkable, the characters feel like they're all bound to developed a little bit more; but the game wraps everything up in an oddly paced final chapter. It feels like the penultimate episode of a miniseries that's had its budget pulled at the last second. All of it's extraneous plot points are either excised or quickly tucked in to allow only the main plot finish at a breakneck pace.
There's even five endings, but a single choice determines these in the penultimate chapter and a few in the final one. It feels a little bit shallow in that regard.
There's twenty-one characters in Twin Mirror when all is said and done. But I could only tell you about less than five of them in detail – and that's only because I've recently finished it. The game doesn't have the strength or depth of writing to have you remember characters like Chloe, Max, Tyler, or even the Diaz brothers did.
But one thing I can praise Twin Mirror for is that it's easily DONTNOD's best game on a technical level. While a little bit generic on the artistic side, the game looks and performs superbly well. Lip syncing still leaves a lot to be desired. But the game has some great character models, superbly moody lighting, and performs rather well. I should qualify this by saying that I'm playing on an Xbox Series X, which for the most parts provide a crisper image quality as well as a buttery sixty frames per second. Regardless, this is easily DONTNOD's best-looking game, even if it's a little bit less distinct than Life Is Strange.
What's a little bit less of an apparent success is the voice work, which feels flatter than ever. Throughout the game's story, there are ample opportunities for the cast to hammer home some of the more emotional scenes in the plot, but it all comes across as flat and stilted. Sam and his alter ego "Him" could've played off of each other here, but, once again, it just never amounts to anything.
Which is the way I feel about Twin Mirror as a whole. It's a great, tried-and-true concept that brings nothing new to the table, despite having so much potential. Made even more potent by the fact that we know what DONTNOD as a team is capable of.
THE XBOX ONE VERSION OF THIS GAME WAS PLAYED ON AN XBOX SERIES X FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW. A DIGITAL REVIEW CODE WAS PROVIDED BY THE PUBLISHER.
Twin Mirror has an intriguing premise but ultimately fails to do anything remarkable with it. While it's DONTNOD's most impressive game technically, Twin Mirror is a by-the-book thriller that only just manages to scrape through to solve its core mystery that's unfortunately lacking thrills.

The View From Campus: How to Research U.S. College Options
This month, Marci Fradkin,, Director of International Outreach and Admission, at Valparaiso University in Indiana, discusses how international students can best approach finding the college or university in the United States that is right for them.
Q: Describe your institution in 5 words?
A: Experiential learning, Connections, Result Driven, Friendly, and Beautiful.
Q: For what is your institution best known overseas?
A: Being a STEM paradise and being a top 20 undergrad engineering program.
Q: What are your top academic programs (undergrad & grad)?
A: Undergrad-Engineering, Computer Science, Biochemistry, Psychology, and International Relation. Grad-MS Information Technology, MBA, MS Analytics and Modeling, Public Health, and MS Economics and Finance.
Q: What are the top 5 countries represented at your college?
A: India, Pakistan, Nepal, Nigeria, and China
Q: How does your institution use an IELTS result in the Admission Process?
A: We use it for undergrad and graduate admission and it is taken into consideration in awarding scholarships for both.
Q: What is the most significant challenge most international students have when considering the U.S. for post-secondary education?
A: What is the best fit university for me, because we have over 4,000 universities in the US.
Q: How far ahead should students start the planning process if they are planning to come to the U.S. for study?
A: I recommend students start their planning for studies overseas in their sophomore year so they have time to research university options and to prepare to have the proper courses. Also that will give students time to prepare for taking test and to save money.
Q: What factors should students use to narrow their range of choices from over 4000 accredited colleges and universities down to a manageable shortlist of institutions?
A: I always encourage students to look at the success of the graduates, for instance Valparaiso University 97% job or graduate school placement. I also encourage student to look at class size, Valparaiso average class size is 19, student to faculty ration, we are 11:1, and to look for research and internship opportunities are available.
Q: If international students come across self-described "liberal arts colleges" in their search what do they need to know about these institutions?
A: Liberal Arts Colleges can have strong STEM programs, they teach students to make connection in their education, and they teach their students to be leaders in their fields.
Q: What kinds of students can be successful or "good fits" for liberal arts colleges in the United States?
A: The student who is a best fit for liberal art college are inquisitive, like to make connections, and to be part of a community.

Just a few photos today so you can see what's going on inside while it's rainy, windy and nasty outside.
The only Amaryllis I can get to reflower every year. I have two others that never bloom but I am not giving up on them!
A little Primula malacoides that was grown from seed by my friend Matt Mattus. He has way better photos of these on his blog at Growing With Plants.
An eyelash Begonia that I've had for many years and blooms twice a year for me. It's called an 'eyelash' Begonia for its little hairs all along the outer edges of the leaves that look just like little eyelashes!
A fuzzy photo of a ruffled Cyclamen persicum that I picked up recently the last time I visited my parents in Mass. It's still doing well and opening new flowers. Usually I kill these within a few weeks. In front of the Cyclamen is a mini Oncidium Orchid that my good friend Susan gave me just two weeks ago. It's name is 'Twinkle Little Star' and it has the most lovely fragrance!
An update on the seedlings I mentioned a few weeks ago are now growing well! Here is a selection of Primula polyanthus mostly.
Arisaema flavum that are looking very good.
A potful of Primula acaulis. A few of the seedlings shriveled up and died for no apparent reason. The rest look fine so I don't think it was damping-off.
A newly sprouted Cyclamen graecum seedling. I got the seeds for these from a member of one of the plant groups I belong to either the Hellebore group or Trillium group. He offered an assortment of seed to the members who had something interesting in trade. Most of his seed was wild collected so it should be interesting to see what comes of these. He comes from Italy and does a bit of wandering over the mountains botanizing and collecting seed. I also have a pot of Arum seedlings just sprouting that I got from him.
Cyclamen hederifolium seedlings just emerging. I got the seed for these from the APS seed exchange this year. The main round is almost over, but the second round will start March 1st and anyone can order seed….no membership in APS required! check the seed list here.
On rotten February days like these we need to keep reminding ourselves that spring will come when it comes and not a moment sooner and by taking in the beauty all around us in nature and what we can make ourselves helps so much to keep us/me sane and looking forward to next thing to come along!

A: Yes, this is an access rights issue. By default SoapUI tries to write into its SoapUI program directory, which is bad style.
To change this behavior go to C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.3.0\bin\soapui-log4j.xml and look for the File param values (e.g. in the GLOBAL_GROOVY_LOG appender)
Set the value of the global-groovy.log to a path your current user has access to. E.g. your user directory.
I tried to use windows environment variables there, but did not have success at that in short term.

A: Run as administrator for SoapUI.exe fixed the issue for me.
Same thing when running cmd in administrator mode

State Attorney-General says laws need..
State Attorney-General says laws need to change to give police power to take down Nazi flag
3AW Mornings
A flag bearing a swastika and other Nazi symbols has been flying for several weeks in the state's west, but police can't take it down.
Residents of the Mallee town of Beulah have made several complaints to police and the council about a couple in the town who are displaying the offensive flag above their home.
However, State Attorney-General Jill Hennessy told 3AW Morning's Heidi Murphy current laws do not give any state agency the power to take proactive action against the flying of a Nazi flag.
Currently, The Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 only applies to engaging in serious racial vilification, such as inciting hatred or physical harm against another person or group.
Ms Hennessy says the issue will be front and centre of the state parliamentary committee's discussions around reforming the laws, which are currently underway.
"We do think [the laws] fall short of enabling us to respond to some of the current challenges we see in this space," she said.
But Ms Hennessey stopped short of saying whether there would be a direct ban on displaying Nazi paraphernalia.
"I'm going to wait for the committee to do its work," she said.
"People argue there is a right for freedom of communication, but people also have a right to enjoy their lives free of racial and religious vilification.
"Then the next question is: how do you best regulate that and whose job is it to go and enforce that?"
The State Attorney-General told Heidi Murphy proposed changes to the racial and religious vilification laws should be presented to State Parliament by early next year.
"We want to get this done as soon as possible," she said.
Ms Hennessey said she's confident the parliament will be able to have a sensible discussion on the issue.
"There is a pretty strong unified view across the parliament. It is time for us to improve our ability to respond to acts of religious and cultural hatred."

Indigenous Canadians take leading role in battle against tar sands pipeline
As Canada's election approaches, First Nations join environmental groups in an effort to prevent the building of the country's largest proposed pipeline – poised to travel 700 miles through some of North America's wildest landscapes
A decade-long battle over a proposed pipeline is helping shape the Canadian national election. Guardian
Joel Stonington in Kitimat, British Columbia
Sun 18 Oct 2015 08.00 EDT
First published on Sun 18 Oct 2015 07.00 EDT
Chief Na'Moks stood in the dark of a small smokehouse nestled in the Coast range of British Columbia. Hanging above him were nearly a thousand fish which glinted over the fire below.
"For us, it's one of the most highly prized commodities that we have," he said, pulling one of the glistening candlefish off the rack. "People don't get why we want to keep what we have. We don't want anything from anyone. We just want to keep what we have."
Not so long ago, the chief's ancestors traded fish oil along the grease trails up and down the coast of British Columbia. Today, however, Chief Na'Moks and many other First Nations leaders are at the forefront of a struggle against a very different kind of oil business: Canada's largest proposed tar sands pipeline, the Northern Gateway.
It is the country's environmental battle of the decade, uniting a wide variety of citizens' groups against the billions of dollars of investment by oil companies and millions in secret funding from the government. First proposed in 2004, the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline was planned for a 731-mile (1,177km) stretch from the center of Alberta to the coast of British Columbia.
The plan was to carry diluted bitumen from the tar sands, across hundreds of waterways, over two major mountain ranges and through some of the wildest country in North America. It was approved, with 209 conditions, in June of 2014.
Environmental groups, citizen activists and First Nations have used everything from lawsuits to old-fashioned civil disobedience to battle the project – and so far they have been successful. No mean feat, considering that Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper took office in 2006 pledging to make the country into an "energy superpower".
Seeking a fourth term in office in federal elections on Monday, Harper's Conservative party has been decidedly quiet the subject of fossil fuels. Last year's crash in oil prices and Harper's failure to build the Keystone XL pipeline have both sent tremors through the country's fossil-fuel industries.
Then in May, the upstart New Democratic Party won a stunning victory in Alberta's provincial elections, ending 44 years of Conservative rule.
The Northern Gateway played a crucial role in that election: Alberta's former premier Jim Prentice had previously been employed by the pipeline company Enbridge to make peace with First Nations opposed to the the pipeline. As premier, he tried to get First Nations to agree to pipelines by offering them a share in the profits.

The leaders of the two largest opposition parties – the New Democratic Party and the Liberals – have vowed far greater oversight of the oil industry. NDP leader Tom Mulcair has said the approval process for pipelines is "singularly defective". And Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said it was "not for governments to be cheerleaders for various pipelines".
Even as the political battles rage, the Northern Gateway is back in court for a new round that may prove decisive. A group of First Nations, environmental organizations and a labor union argued that the approval process for the pipeline was flawed, did not take environmental impact into account and violated the rights of First Nations. It was the longest case ever heard before the federal court of appeals, Canada's second-highest federal court.
The Haisla are one of eight First Nations taking part in the case. When Gerald Amos, whose Haisla name is Gagamguist, was asked what the Conservative government could do to work better with First nations, he simply responded: "The best thing that can happen with the conservative government is to be un-elected."
Amos was sitting on the beach in Kitimat Village, the traditional fishing village of his people that sits on an inlet of Douglas Channel. He spoke slowly, weighing his words. "The only good thing that's come out of Enbridge is it has brought us together," he said.
He was speaking about the First Nations village and the industry town supporting an aluminum smelter that largely joined forces for the Enbridge fight. As Canada's election approaches, the race remains too close to call. Many people will be voting based on the politics and economics of oil, pipelines and the environment.
"Canada has to remind themselves of who they are," said Chief Na'Moks. "I believe that all Canadians should vote, and vote properly – vote for your future, not just for words."

Log in to finish rating Stranded Deep
Summary: Assume the role of a plane crash survivor stranded somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Come face-to-face with some of the most life-threatening scenarios that will result in a different experience each time you play as you scavenge for supplies in order to survive on this hostile island.
Developer: Beam Team Games
Genre(s): Action Adventure, General, Survival
Rating: T
Stranded Deep represents a survival videogame in one of the purest forms: desert island life. It is certainly not a difficult concept to conceive, but Stranded Deep is an excellent example of a notion done countless times in other media.

The start of the game plays out similar to the Movie Castaway, You're alone on a private jet that meets some catastrophe and crashes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You come to and find the plane sinking, and as you swim from the husk you find a lifeboat, then BOOM, and you're unconscious again. When you wake up, you find you've drifted to a small island. With nothing but your Life Raft, and the few rations aboard you must survive long enough to escape this watery prison before it becomes your grave. There are several small islands around the one you land on, each with items you can use to survive. There are several ways of escaping the islands, from repairing a plane to finding a radio and calling for help. The Ocean is a dangerous place, full of Sharks and other deadly creatures, and the islands aren't much safer with Crown of Thorns Starfish in the shallows and snakes hiding in the grass. Fish, Hunt, Explore It's a sandbox game, so how you go about living in this tropical paradise is up to you. Don't want to be rescued? Then don't be, live your days on the islands and enjoy the blazing sunsets. The graphics are beautiful! With some of the most dynamic water that I've ever seen. Look carefully, and you might find Wollie, Wilson's cousin. Easily one of the best sandbox survival games I've played!… Expand

Stranded Deep was delayed a good year after the previous publisher (Telltale) went bankrupt at the 11th hour just before launch on Xbox. SoStranded Deep was delayed a good year after the previous publisher (Telltale) went bankrupt at the 11th hour just before launch on Xbox. So how many improvements were made in the following year until launch in 2020? Answer - not many. This game has a good foundation, really neat idea and has a fun atmosphere for sure but it's still horribly buggy, laggy and barely makes 30fps at the best of times with tonnes of pop in. It's really not really well optimized at all (even on the Xbox One X) atm & the content isn't even on par with PC at launch.
The survival genre is a really great one, but far too many developers do the bear minimum shoving it into early access on as many platforms at they can in a bare bones state to rake in the early $$ and then take forever to flesh the game out. Sometimes they make a great, complete experience (like Subnautica, Minecraft or The Long Dark) and the rest just fade away into development hell.
Stranded Deep has work to do. It's a sound basic concept with a fun game loop. Realtime day / night cycles, dynamic weather & decent survival mechanics give it a typical and solid foundation, but it's still not on par with the more mature games already on the platform.
If you ever watched the movie 'Cast Away' with Tom Hanks or you're REALLY old school like me and remember the old 'Johnny Castaway' screensaver of Windows 3.11, this game is pretty much the modern version of that.
The Xbox release DOES have an end game that oddly isn't available on PC yet - but there's game mechanics on PC that are not actually on the Xbox version yet (what's up with that?).
Whether you want to 'finish' the game or not is completely up to you. No spoilers for the process to escape back to civilization other than to say it involves some fairly tedious 'boss battles' with bullet sponge battle experiences that felt really out of place in a survival game and pretty unnecessary.
I own nearly every survival game on Xbox to date, it's one of my favourite genres on the platform and I've got great survival games and really bad ones.
Where does Stranded Deep lie and is it worth your coin?
I'd put this one in the 'mid range' position at the moment. It's not on par with the best in genre on the platform, but it's also far from the worst. It has content that really needs to be put on Xbox asap and optimisation also really needs to be looked at (the game is seriously janky, buggy with loads of popin and unacceptable frame rate stutter when approaching islands) + some very strangely short draw distance issues. ie it's a fairly typical 'early access / still in development' level experience.
As of the writing of this review (16th August 2020) this game still has a fair way to go. It's a decent experience for what it is and worth getting if you can find it on sale.
This game is a little under a AA experience that's in constant development. The dev team is well known for taking a very long time to release new content / updates (the dev team is small).
Bear that in mind if you want to shell out coin for this release.
If you're chasing your first Survival Game experience on Xbox, I'd recommend the games mentioned at the start of this review rather than Stranded Deep.
But if you just love the idea of island survival or just looking for a new survival game experience, this game isn't too bad.
It's not 'great', but it's not a disaster either. Here's hoping the game only continues to improve with further content and optimization releases in the near future.… Expand

Q: How can I get child value with if & else condition (Firebase,SDK) I am having trouble with my codes. What I want to do in my Login page is log as admin using email/password and when "role" is equal to admin (the other role is Guest). The admin page is MainActivity.class and the Guest page is Home.class. Can someone help me :)

And here is my code:
    private void onAuthSuccess(FirebaseUser user) {
    DatabaseReference ref =
    FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("users");
    ValueEventListener valueEventListener = new ValueEventListener() {

        @Override
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            for(DataSnapshot ds : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
                String role = ds.getKey();

                DatabaseReference userKeyDatabase =  FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("users");
                ValueEventListener eventListener = new ValueEventListener() {
                @Override
                public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            if (dataSnapshot == null) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "****NULLL****", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            } else if(dataSnapshot.child("role").getValue().equals("Admin")) {
                startActivity(new Intent(SignInActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
                finish();
            }else{
                startActivity(new Intent(SignInActivity.this, Home.class));
                finish();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}
    };

        userKeyDatabase.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(eventListener);
    }}
            @Override
            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {}
        };
       ref.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(valueEventListener);
    }

I am not sure about my code as well :(

A: To check role of users login you can do something like this
    FirebaseDatabase firebaseDatabase=FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
                                DatabaseReference db=firebaseDatabase.getReference().child("users");

     db.orderByChild("email").equalTo(email).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                                @Override
                                public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot)
                                        if(dataSnapshot.exists()){

                                            Log.d("user exits","usere hai");
                                           String value =dataSnapshot.child("role").getValue().toString();

                                           if(value.equals("Admin") && value != null){
 startActivity(new Intent(SignInActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
                finish();
                                        }else{
 startActivity(new Intent(SignInActivity.this, Home.class));
                finish();
                                        }

                                }

                                @Override
                                public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) { }
                            });

Susanne Klingner (* 1978 in Berlin, DDR) ist eine deutsche Journalistin und Unternehmerin. In ihrer Arbeit setzt sie sich vor allem mit Fragen des Feminismus, der Konsumgesellschaft und dem Zusammenhang zwischen Wirtschaft und Geschlecht auseinander.

Klingner ist neben Barbara Streidl und Meredith Haaf eine der drei Autorinnen des feministischen Buchs "Wir Alphamädchen. Warum Feminismus das Leben schöner macht". Zusammen mit ihren beiden Co-Autorinnen startete sie während der Arbeit am Buch im Oktober 2007 das mehrfach ausgezeichnete feministische Blog Mädchenmannschaft, das sie 2011 verließ. 2017 gründete sie gemeinsam mit Katrin Rönicke das Podcastlabel hauseins.

Leben und Wirken
Klingner studierte Politikwissenschaft und Journalistik in Leipzig und absolvierte anschließend ein Volontariat bei der taz. Sie lebt in München und schreibt als freie Journalistin u. a. für die Süddeutsche Zeitung. In der taz erschien von 2010 bis 2012 monatlich ihre Kolumne "Die Farbe Lila". Sie ist Mitgründerin und war von 2015 bis 2017 Redaktionsleiterin des Wirtschaftsmagazins PLAN W, das der Süddeutschen Zeitung vierteljährlich beiliegt. Für die Entwicklung von PLAN W wurde sie 2016 gemeinsam mit ihrer Co-Redaktionsleiterin Alexandra Borchardt mit dem Ernst-Schneider-Preis für Wirtschaftspublizistik ausgezeichnet.

Von 2013 bis 2018 war sie im Vorstand von Frauenstudien München e.V.

Im Frühjahr 2008 erschien das Buch "Wir Alphamädchen. Warum Feminismus das Leben schöner macht", in dem sie zusammen mit ihren Co-Autorinnen Meredith Haaf und Barbara Streidl zu einer neuen feministischen Bewegung aufrief. Das Buch löste zusammen mit den zeitnah erschienenen Büchern "Neue Deutsche Mädchen" von Jana Hensel und Elisabeth Raether und Charlotte Roches "Feuchtgebiete" eine Diskussion um einen "neuen Feminismus" in den Feuilletons der großen deutschsprachigen Zeitungen aus. Im Zuge der Debatte warf Alice Schwarzer in ihrer Dankesrede bei der Verleihung des Ludwig-Börne-Preises den jungen Autorinnen "Wellness-Feminismus" vor, woraufhin diese mit einem Text in der Süddeutschen Zeitung antworteten.

Zusammen mit ihren beiden Co-Autorinnen startete Klingner während der Arbeit am Buch im Oktober 2007 das feministische Blog Mädchenmannschaft. Es wurde 2008 mit dem Deutsche Welle Blog Award ausgezeichnet, sowie für den Grimme Online Award und den Alternativen Medienpreis desselben Jahres nominiert. 2011 verließ Klingner das Blog.

In der feministischen Initiative Frau Lila setzte sich Klingner zwischen 2011 und 2019 zusammen mit Barbara Streidl und Katrin Rönicke für mehr Sichtbarkeit von Frauen im Netz ein. Zu diesem Zweck riefen sie auch das Bloggerinnen-Magazin "Featurette" ins Leben. Beide Projekte sind mittlerweile beendet.

We will make you a price offer after we see the details of Your profile.
We have established the base price for conversational classes. Special classes (preparation for exams), as well as classes in a mini-group are paid at a price of +20% to the cost of speaking classes.
All lessons are conducted individually or in a mini-group. Mini-groups are formed from relatives and friends of the same level.
You can learn any language with our teachers with 25% discount.
Often our teachers learn other languages to make their students feel better. After all, when you learn something from scratch, you understand very well what the student needs in the first place, and what is not necessary at all.
Sometimes it's just an old dream — to become a polyglot and speak several languages.
And increasingly, the knowledge of a new language becomes an additional source of students for teachers and a way to increase income!
Most of our students want to study in the evening, so the main wish for you — the presence of 3 or more evening hours per week in Your schedule. The schedule is made by you.
We teach 38 popular and rare foreign languages by Skype. Russian-speaking teachers and native speakers from different countries of the world work with us on a regular basis. All of them are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you.

What do the teachers say about us?
My name is Tatiana. I am a teacher of Chinese at HOGWARTS school. In this language school I work relatively recently. But I can say a few words. First, I do not regret that I work here, as a very nice team and tactful managers who perform their work on time and help to find new students. Secondly, teaching via Skype is not as difficult as it seemed before — almost the same as communicating live. Teaching takes place in a comfortable, familiar environment. Also a plus is that you can discuss the time of classes and choose the most convenient option for both teachers and students. Particularly pleased with the timely payment-every two weeks. I can confidently say that I enjoy working at HOGWARTS language school.
Cooperation with the online school» Hogwarts » gave me the opportunity to teach students, share with their knowledge, as well as the opportunity to earn. The team of «Hogwarts online»always helps in the selection of students, quickly answers questions.Always on time send salary. To work in the school «Hogwarts» a lot of fun. You can always count on it!
I was immediately impressed by the approach to the selection of teachers proposed by the online school-the test allowed me to confirm my level of declared languages, clearly and unambiguously, and the subsequent interview was substantive, without a lot of unnecessary questions and requirements to prove that I am who I say I am — which often happens in other places. The school offered a simple and clear system of reporting on classes, communication with students and, if you have any questions-with managers. The intervention of the school in the learning process is minimal, which I, like most teachers, highly appreciate. Payment is made regularly, according to the agreed terms of cooperation dates. The school allows you to give yourself to proper training — that is my direct specialty, no exchange on all sorts of side issues. I am fully satisfied with the proposed regime of cooperation, and the question of whether I recommend it to colleagues, I can answer in the affirmative.
Hogwarts integrates lessons across Russia. Any student can choose a convenient scheme according to age and duration. Language options are diverse and available to everyone. Teacher of medical English.

2018:- India's Top Defence Scorer
THE S-400 DEAL WITH RUSSIA ::
India and Russia signed Rs 39,000 crore deal for acquiring five regiments of the Russian S-400 air defence missile during the two-day visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Oct. It gave the defence force a much needed force multiplier against enemy aircraft and missiles.
The missile system can take down enemy missiles and aircraft over a range of 380 km maximum, and can also shoot down planes at smaller distances up to 100 km. China acquired the S-400 system but its striking range is lower.
INDIAN ARMY VERY SATISFIED WITH AKASH-S1 MISSILE ::
After the successful launch of BrahMos, the Akash-S1 surface-to air missile was developed to counter-attack missiles and drones released to hit India. The Akash-S1 is made-in-India equipment which gives it the capability to strike down enemy fighter jets and drones very effectively and accurately.
The surface-to-air missile was designed to intercept enemy aircraft and missiles from a distance of 18 to 30 km. The air force and the Army will deploy the Akash-S1 on both China and Pakistan front, making the enemy forces to rethink their strategy on the borders already.
The missile system has helped India to replace foreign systems in the service after a Rs 17,000 crore deal with foreign countries was scrapped.
MISSILE DEFENCE A SUCCESS IN 2018 ::
India successfully testified ballistic missile shield in Odisha, and the interceptor missile hitting 'enemy' missiles at 40 km altitude was a major success for air defence missile programme. The Defence Research and Development Organisation said that the shield will be ready by 2022.
The operation was monitored and executed by the mission computer with human intervention. The BMD and the S-400 are likely to create a missile shield over the entire country against any threat from missiles fired by enemy nations.
THE ARMY VS TERRORISTS ::
The killing of own people working in the Army and the J&K Police by terrorists alienated the civilians even as the Army broke their backbone by eliminating 9 of the top 12 terrorist commanders in 2018.
Army and security forces also killed 250 terrorists this year. "Top nine terrorists were killed by the security forces while remaining three top terrorists are high on our hit list and will be eliminated."
Sources in the security forces said that by killing local boys in the police and Army, the terrorists are leading to their destruction. They targeted people such as Lieutenant Ummer Fayaz and other BSF personnel in the J&K Police led to the alienation of locals from their activities.
Sources said that the influence-zone of terrorists is now only 100-sq-km across Srinagar.
SUBMARINE INS ARIHANT LAUNCH STRENGTHENED NUCLEAR TRIAD ::
India joined "the elite group of nations" by achieving nuclear triad after the completion of its first deterrence patrol by made-in-India INS Arihant nuclear submarine. PM Modi broke the news on Dhanteras by announcing that INS Arihant completed its first deterrence patrol.
With the induction of the INS Arihant, India can now respond to any nuclear attack on it from land using its Agni series missiles; through air via fighter planes; and through underwater via the INS Arihant.
India has decided to have a "no first use" policy regarding nuclear weapons and said that it will use nuclear weapons only if it is "attacked first" by any.
THE STUNNING EXERCISE GAGAN SHAKTI 2018 ::
The Exercise Gaganshakti-2018, largest ever exercise held by the force, aimed to showcase its plans to fight major wars along the China and Pakistan front. During the two-phased exercise, assets of the force were moved to both fronts in no time to showcase its agility. The assets were deployed along the northern region and eastern region.
Over 10,000 sorties were carried out by the Air Force in both the sectors. During the operations, under the umbrella of net centricity, supported by combat enablers AWACS, FRA and ISR assets, the operators got a near-real time experience of conducting sustained and challenging operations in a simulated short and intense war scenario.
PLAN TO MODERNISE WEAPONS FINALISED ::
Modi-govt approved procurement of essential quantity of light machine guns for the three services through the "Fast Track Procedure" at a cost of Rs 1,819 crore. This procurement aims to meet the operational requirement of the troops deployed on the borders. A concurrent proposal has been processed for the balance quantity to be procured under the 'Buy and Make (Indian)' categorisation.
The Digital-to-analog converter accorded approval for procurement of 7.4 lakh assault rifles for the personnel. These rifles will be 'Made in India' under the categorisation of 'Buy and Make (Indian)', via Ordnance Factory Board and Private Industry for Rs 12,280 crore.
AGUSTAWESTLAND: ITALIAN FIRM'S PARTICIPATION IN 'MAKE IN INDIA' ::
AMID the cloud of Agusta Westland controversy, Prime Minister of Italy Giuseppe Conte has pitched for the firm Leonardo Defence (formerly Finmeccanica), to be integrated with PM Modi's 'Make in India' programme. This year both the countries also agreed on an "institutional framework" for a sustained dialogue to enhance the environment for "ease of doing business" in their respective nations and further facilitate and promote bilateral economic cooperation.
ALL-WOMEN NAVY CREW CIRCUMNAVIGATES GLOBE ::
After defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman flagged off the Indian Naval Sailing Vessel Tarini with the all-women crew from Goa in 2017, the crew returned India after going around the globe in 6 months. This was the first-ever Indian circumnavigation of the globe by an all-women crew.
Expedition was covered in 5 legs, with stopovers at 4 ports viz Fremantle (Australia), Lyttleton (New Zealand), Port Stanley (Falklands), and Cape Town (South Africa). INSV Tarini is a 55-foot-long sailing vessel, which has been built indigenously, and was inducted in the Indian Navy in 2018, with the 'Make in India' initiative on the world forum

Un moteur de recherche collaboratif est un moteur de recherche dont les résultats sont le fruit de la collaboration entre des utilisateurs humains.

Les résultats d'une recherche peuvent être modifiés par les utilisateurs ou influencés via différents systèmes tels que les votes, la gestion de favoris, etc.

Le moteur collaboratif ou « social search » existe grâce à la volonté des internautes de donner et de partager leur opinion avec le reste d'une communauté en laissant des commentaires, des marque-pages, en faisant du Page Ranking ou en notant, donnant son avis sur les informations.

Historique

En 2004 – 2005, le concept de moteur collaboratif a fait son apparition chez Google avec Google's PageRank. Mais c'est en 2008 qu'une multitude de sites web et de moteurs de recherche ont adopté le moteur collaboratif : Eurekster, Yahoo Answers, Ask.com ou google Co-Op, mais aussi Wikipédia ou Youtube par exemple.

Risques

Développés en parallèle des moteurs algorithmiques que l'on connait, les deux types sont importants et complémentaires. Il y a cependant des risques de subjectivité que les différents moteurs devront résoudre avant que les utilisateurs ne fassent vraiment confiance aux réponses coopératives. La fraude et le spam, ainsi que la qualité des réponses sont au cœur des inquiétudes concernant la recherche coopérative. Il est important de développer un mécanisme qui détermine l'autorité, la valeur et la fiabilité des experts humains à l'origine de ces informations.

Bénéfices

 Pertinence améliorée, car chaque résultat a été choisi par des utilisateurs ;
 Création d'un réseau de personnes de confiance en fournissant des indications sur la qualité des résultats ;
 Le jugement humain permet de compenser le manque de jugement qualitatif d'un ordinateur ;
 Les résultats sont en permanence actualisés selon le contexte et la mise à jour des informations.

Diving into data to increase ROI
TOPICS:AACC Digital
By Tabitha Whissemore May 14, 2021 Print
Howard Community College (HCC) in Maryland dove into its data to understand just where they were investing money and time and what the return on those investments was.
HCC President Kathleen Hetherington was joined by Rick Staisloff of RPK Group on May 13 for an AACC Digital session on streamlining academic portfolios to improve the return on investment (ROI).
In 2019, before the pandemic hit, HCC was already seeing declining enrollment, shrinking state and federal funding, and the public's changing perception on the value of higher education, Hetherington said. The college took a business perspective to evaluate what was working and what wasn't, and where it could streamline.
At one point, HCC offered 200 academic programs. That was cut down to about 70, but data showed there was more work to do. Nearly two-thirds of students were in 12 or fewer academic programs. Looking at student demand also meant seeing where there was potential for revenue growth – and the potential to better serve students.
In addition, there was increasing release time for faculty, Hetherington said.
It was time to "think differently about how resources were used," she said.
HCC got granular with the data, looking at course fill rates and student credit hours rather than just faculty course load. By analyzing the "right" data, the college made changes to save time and money, and still ensure students were served, Hetherington said.
HCC also saved money on adjunct faculty, meaning it could invest more in full-time faculty. It also saved by making changes to the curriculum billing structure, evaluating existing open positions, and gauging contract services and subscriptions. In addition, a data-informed decision was made to delete the medical laboratory technician program, effective in 2023. At this point, ongoing savings for reinvestment are about $1.3 million.
Hetherington made sure everyone at the college knew the process of evaluating and that any cuts would be transparent.
"It wasn't done in secret," she said. Faculty and staff were involved from day one in the process.
Reaching students by phone
Another AACC Digital session explored strategies to re-enroll students, mainly calling students.
In July 2020, Houston Community College faced a significant enrollment decrease, much like many community colleges. The college connected with Swim Digital Group to explore enrollment strategies.
What emerged was a systemwide approach to contact students. The project brought together more than 200 faculty and staff from all different departments to volunteer in contacting students who had the highest probability of enrolling.
"We had every stakeholder excited to help," said Indra Paola Peláez, associate vice chancellor for enrollment services. She presented with Trimeka Benjamin and Paige Skinner from Swim Digital.

Fourteen "conversion" teams were created to participate in a two-month campaign that involved calling prospective students. They had weekly conversion rate goals, which led to some healthy competition between teams. At weekly meetings, not only were results presented, but teams also shared stories about good interactions they had on that calls.
Faculty and staff weren't necessarily student services professionals, but the campaign gave them a window into the recruiting/admissions side of the college. And talking with students and prospective students made them more empathetic to what students experienced.
The student services department and college recruiters also were happy that the entire college was supporting their efforts.
"They were overwhelmed by the amount of students they needed to serve online," Peláez said.
Students were happy to get a personal call and see that someone from the college cared, she added.
In two months, the teams made 15,000 total calls to 8,000 unduplicated students, with an 18% conversion rate as result of phone calls.

The Secret to Improving Canadian Youth Soccer
This past weekend we launched TOPP Soccer- It stands for "The Other Pathway Placement" and the goal of the organization is to give every player the information and inspiration on and off the field to have a legitimate chance to play college soccer regardless of where they come from or what team they play for.
I also wrote a couple of books that the whole TOPP program is built off of- one for parents and one for players, and the goal is after reading them that both parents and players have every piece of information they need to know how to make college soccer a reality. For more info on the books, click here
The first TOPP clinic we did was in Connecticut- the idea was to bring in lots of great schools for kids in state, but also give players from outside the area the opportunity to tour schools in the area- shout out to the coaches and players at Southern Connecticut State, Yale, Quinnipiac, and CCSU, showing off their schools, giving the kids a realistic picture of what college life looks like and for giving the kids something to talk about for a lifetime.
At the clinic we had schools such as Arizona State, New Hampshire, Longwood, Stonybrook, Yale, Brown, Quinnipiac, AIC, Maryland, Boston University, UMass, UMass-Lowell, Stonehill, SCSU, Washington and Lee and individual players from all over the region and top regionally ranked teams from New York, Maryland, Virginia, as well as a group of 20 kids from Newfoundland. It was a fantastic weekend- one of the D1 coaches said it was "The best camp I've worked in a long time", which for a group getting off the ground was a much appreciated endorsement that we are heading in the right direction.
But in this blog, I want to talk about the 20 from Newfoundland, and I want to talk about a player that flew all the way from Vancouver, Canada to be a part of this past weekend.
I've piped down on speaking out about the Canadian system, specifically the system in BC, because I think as you get older you realize you have a finite amount of energy and why waste it to focus on negativity when we all have the capacity to do so much positive.
And this is what makes me excited about college recruiting and the opportunities it presents.
Let's talk about the player from Vancouver first. I was first alerted to her, when her coach from TSS sent me a video clip of her scoring 5 goals in a game against a good team from Alberta. It was impressive. She diced players, she scored a long ball with her left foot, she scored from close in with her right…it went on. She was technical, she was confident, she was physical and she could score. Check her out for yourself via her video: Click Here
She has also been developing at TSS since she was 6 years old, the last 3 years of which have been in their full time program. This is an organization that has been marginalized within the BC system for as long as I can remember. Their crime? They started their own academy that only survives if they do a good job. Ironically, TSS has a positive relationship with the majority of soccer clubs in the Lower Mainland of BC who increasingly see them as another bonafide club, making it clearer than ever that the system as a whole needs to recognize them as such.
Meanwhile, while having to fight for their survival, they also have been the only club that have consistently placed almost every single player they've had to university rosters, which for parents paying a pretty penny for soccer development, is the key and tangible economic marker for a return on investment.
So let's get back to this special player from TSS/Vancouver and why I love college recruiting, and why I am so passionate about the launch of TOPP.
The beauty of it is that NCAA and CIS coaches don't give a shit where the kids come from or who they play for.
So while this TSS player can't be considered for the Canadian U17 team via the REX program because she's a part of TSS, not in the "system" and has no desire to switch out of the club that developed her, Ivy League schools are interested and a Big Ten school, the conference where NCAA national champion Penn State play in, have offered her a full scholarship. Where shameful politics may prevent her an opportunity at the Canadian youth level, college soccer will give her the opportunity to grow and improve and create more opportunities for herself that negate the effect of any politics. Negatives into positives.
And as the icing on the cake, after speaking to her this weekend, she is one of the nicest, most humble kids that you could come across, the kind of kid you are so happy for those great opportunities that are coming her way. Sidenote: she impressed as much in person as she did in her video this weekend.
While this player, from within a major city, struggles to get opportunities because people in power don't like the club she plays for and have created rules to keep her from getting the opportunity to play in the Canadian youth system, where she clearly belongs, the players from Newfoundland opened my eyes to another problem that college recruiting solves.
The sad thing is in Canada, that unless you are from a major city, essentially, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal or Quebec City, you are at a major, major disadvantage to get opportunities to further your development as a player at the highest level. And even being from major cities, because of the politics outlined with TSS, players even from these places still struggle. While I read blogs and articles talking about why Canada isn't developing a lot of players, the answers lay right in front of us with these two issues outlined above.
I will be honest when I say that I didn't expect much from the kids from Newfoundland on the field. The live on an isolated island and when you see the amount of fancy tournaments and 1 on 1 development with pro players that players in the US benefit from, I was nervous to see how they would compete. And boy did they make me look stupid.
Not only were they the most polite bunch of kids that I have ever come across (and I say that with absolutely no hyperbole), they were great, great soccer players. This is illustrated by the fact that after 3 days of straight soccer, they played the second ranked U18 team in Connecticut that is filled with players playing D1 next year who were fresh, and only lost 2-1. Newfoundland had no U18 players. The majority of their players are U16 and U17 and they even had a couple of U15 players play 90 minutes against this top U18 Connecticut group.
These kids from Newfoundland are completely forgotten about in the Canadian system and no one cares. Their coach, Nicole who is one of the most passionate people and young coaches in Canadian soccer that I have come across, obviously developing wonderful players, faces roadblocks at every turn trying to get these kids out of Newfoundland and into real opportunities.
I know just from communicating with her the last few months, the insane amount of hours that she had to put into developing an itinerary for an incredible trip for these kids, she had to try and navigate roadblocks in the system and the potential of the trip not being able to happen.
A particularly poignant moment occurred yesterday when the (completely classy) kids thanked her yesterday in front of the group, and one of them said, "thank you for being the only coach in Newfoundland that gives a shit about us and thank you for doing this for us." While I'm sure (hopefully) there are more coaches than Nicole that give a shit about the kids in Newfoundland, the beautiful thing about kids, is that while all the adults power play around them, they know who is fighting for their best interest and who is in it for their own agenda.
But let's get back to the positive again and all the opportunity that came out of this weekend for the kids through the college recruiting process: One of my good friends, an extremely well-connected NCAA D1 coach, passionate about giving kids opportunities, spent an hour on his phone Saturday night at dinner, texting friends of his at schools, where he felt the Newfoundland kids would be a good fit. He spent another hour in the parking lot with Nicole going through player by player, what he thought of each kid on her roster and what they could do to make themselves stand out more and work on. Where some people choose to hold the kids back, it excites me more and more, that there are so many more, that are selfless, that have no agenda or nothing to gain, that want to use every shred of power, network and opportunity that they have to give these kids opportunities instead of holding them back. This weekend epitomized it.
These Canadian kids, one that is being held back from Canadian youth opportunities because of politics, and another group of great players and kids that are from a forgotten island will go on to play university and have a chance to better themselves as people and players and hopefully come back one day to give back. We will make sure of it.
A broken system will not hold them back.
Just like someone that figured out a secret trap door behind a Mount Everest of roadblocks, it is exciting to see this pathway develop and what the future will hold for these awesome kids and players.
