Two entrances to the White Plains train station will be closed for about four months as part of the ongoing renovations.
WHITE PLAINS - Two entrances to the city's train station will be closed for about four months as part of ongoing renovations.
Starting Monday, the south end of the platform and the station's Main Street and Hamilton Avenue entrances will be shut down until about Sept. 30, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Customers could use the north end lobby and the Mott Street tunnel entrances.
The three-year, $92 million renovation project started in early April.
In addition to the entrance upgrades, the project includes new security cameras, speakers, a state-of-the-art public address system, upgrades to the platforms and stairway as well as a glass-enclosed waiting area, aesthetic upgrades, a remodeled ticket office and refurbished bathrooms and improved food vendor space.
The goal is to make the station "more customer friendly," MTA Chairman Joe Lhota said.


You've decided to take a trip, and you've decided you're not going to drink alcohol during that time. Whether it's for a Dry January experiment, long-term health reasons or anything in between, it can be done. You know what you don't have to decide? How to explain yourself. The reason(s) why you don't plan to drink alcohol are yours to share—or not—with whomever you please. The important thing is that you've made those first two decisions, and you've landed on this article to help you stay the course.
That's another important thing! You recognize that this will be challenging, because temptation lurks at the beach, in the hotel lobby, and even at yoga these days. So, good on you.
What do you want to accomplish while you're on your trip? Do you want to remember every piece of it: the weather, the architecture, the scents, the faces of the people there? Whatever it is, having a goal in mind helps. You'll look forward to achieving it and you'll cherish the experiences that are part of the process.
Also, you can choose your vacation accordingly. Meditation and yoga retreats, hiking and camping excursions, and volunteer trips are more conducive to not drinking than others, and certain regions of the world, like the Middle East, cater to non-drinkers more than others. So take note!
"It's important to appreciate the power of rewards systems in our brains," says Alex Dayton, clinical director of Freedom Institute in New York City. He's referring to those feel-good endorphins triggered by alcohol, among other things, and the neural pathways that form when the brain experiences something it likes. The deeper those pathways become, the more likely we are to keep giving the brain what it wants (a drink) without thinking about what happens when we run that path into a ravine (a hangover). In other words: It's a habit, and those are hard to break.
Do yourself a favor and remove the thing that makes repeating it as easy as twisting off the cap to a beer bottle: the hotel minibar. All it takes is a phone call to the hotel's staff ahead of time, and they'll turn your room alcohol-free before you arrive. Remember that you don't have to explain yourself! Just ask that they edit out the booze, and they will. They do it all the time.
Deal with the mile-high bar.
Airports can be tricky, too. If you find yourself really craving a drink, go to an information desk or courtesy phone and explain. Over the loudspeaker, the airport personnel can ask that any "friends of Bill," which is code for attendees of Alcoholics Anonymous, come to your gate. If you're not already in AA, remember that the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking or using a substance. People who share your goal want to help, so call an impromptu meeting if you need it.
Put other rewards in place.
Get excited about all the other delicious drinks out there, whether it's a longstanding part of a country's culture, like a tea ceremony in Japan, or a buzzy new bar that's pushing the boundaries of it beverage program, like Chicago's new Kumiko. There, creative director Julia Momose pairs "spirit-free" mixed drinks, such as the Hoji-Hai, made with nutty green tea, pomegranate molasses, Concord grape vinegar, and club soda, with her five-course tasting menu. There are so many articles about the alcohol-free cocktail trend these days; all it takes is a little Googling to find some options at your destination.
By changing your body chemistry, you can better tolerate certain urges, like the want to drink. One of the ways to do this is to hold your breath and put your face in a bowl of cold water for thirty seconds. It's a skill taught to students of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which is all about changing patterns of thinking and behavior.
Two other ways: Intense exercise, which expends your body's physical energy, and paced breathing. Breathe deeply into your belly, slow down the pace to five or six breaths per minute, and breathe out more slowly than you breathe in. Notice the tension in your body softening. Now you have the calm to think through that drink. Play it forward: What are the pros and cons of taking the first sip? What will it look like in ten minutes? What will it look like in an hour?
Ruby Warrington, author of the new book Sober Curious, believes that "anybody who drinks on a regular basis is probably, kind of, just a little bit addicted." Remember those rewards systems and the easy-to-form neural pathways? "Our brains are biologically hardwired to form an attachment to alcohol," Warrington writes. Add to that the fact that, in most cultures, alcohol is "presented as both good times in a bottle and a panacea for a multitude of modern malaises." Changing this habit—for however long or short a period of time—is really hard! So be kind and patient with yourself. Enjoy yourself. And enjoy your vacation.

Pareidolia, by Daniel J. Pizappi
Isle of the Dead, by Arnold Böcklin (Switzerland). 1880.
Some say Böcklin dreamt the Isle of the Dead
and spent the rest of his life trying to paint it.
Some say each snowflake sets out to reproduce
a dreamflake, but the clouds are careless copyists.
Nabokov said the Isle on a wall is part of
every Berlin home, like a roof or running water.
Maybe Böcklin's dream is dreamt by each of us,
even if they're his initials on the cave-tomb's door.
Maybe I dreamt a poem once, at least its contours,
and have spent the rest of my life trying to write it.
Maybe every poem is really the same elegy, the same
suicide note, reflected in a shattered funhouse mirror,
leaving you, me, anyone to pick up the pieces.
Each pearl conceals a grain of sand—but try to find it.
Of course, Böcklin didn't paint and repaint the Isle
to realize his undying fixation, his dream of death,
but to satisfy his patrons and their commissions,
his landlords and their past-due notices.
And maybe this was never about the obsession
of the painter, the poet, the clouds, but of each of us
and our insatiable hunger for pattern, for meaning.
And maybe you can tell me: do we ever find it?
Daniel J. Pizappi
This poem was written for the surprise ekphrastic I See a Darkness challenge.
Daniel J. Pizappi grew up in New York's Hudson River Valley and currently lives in Knoxville, Tennessee.

This is my response both to the image and your writing:
you know it and i know it, we both know that there are reasons why we come back to this thing to see what we can see, if there's anything in the clouds, in the stuttering motion of the waves, in the reflections that don't really indicate a sky so much as a time of day, and always a dull morning or a dull evening, never anything that glows in the dark, never anything that makes us feel like we're just about to spark to life...no, those days are over some would say, especially when they got a look at the title of the piece, then it'd be game over and no one would want to celebrate it...what's there to celebrate, they'd ask, it's death, after all, and no one wants anything to do with it...it frightens people, it alarms them, it makes them want to get away from anyone bringing it closer and closer to them because for all the science in the world, people are still superstitious, they're still caught in a web of old fears and atavistic tendencies that not only threaten to return, but threaten to increase in both degree and severity, and these things don't just threaten, they are revelations of what the future is sure to bring...we've been here before, you and me, we've traveled here in our dreams and nightmares and times when we wished we could sleep, wished we could shrug off the world and the problems it gave us that day, because weren't all our problems just the same problem we had to deal with over and over again?...it's alright, i can say as much now that i know that it all went back to stepping away when it was called for and stepping in when it was time, and i also know that i didn't have the wisdom to distinguish between these so that sometimes i opened my mouth when i should have been listening and at others i did nothing when i had a feeling i was going to regret it...these are what rise up from the still waters to intercede between me getting to that isle: i'm not "done" yet and it's because i got a very late start, it's because, really, i have only just begun and i'm ashamed to hold my head up and say these things before the lonely place i must go over day...that is not today and part of me wants it to be because if i can utter with the tongue of the dead all these things from when i was alive with you, then why can i not actually feel alive despite continuing to draw breath, why can't i get rid of you for once and all now that our future is no longer one that's intertwined but has been cleaved in two the way it always should have been...you go about your life, i'll do the same with mine...yet tree really are dreams, there are nightmares, there are times when i cannot sleep and you are there again and i can't rid myself of you...this is worse than having to accept my place on that tomb island because you don't belong anywhere near me anymore, yet there you are, the same problem rising up to meet me, to intercede between where i am and where i must one day go, and it makes so little sense with you having been gone for so long, with me having resolved what you'd always represented to me, but all during the last week or two, there you've been when i look over and that i don't tell you go fuck off on the spot makes me think there's something very wrong with me, that the trusting kid i used to be so someone i've never stopped being and that it's him who's summoning you because you're the one who spoke the vows even though i'd choked on them that day, same as you...but there's nothing to see, nothing to know, we know whatever has been because it's come and gone, and you aren't really you, just the shade of the one i wanted you to be, which is why it's so easy for me to hate myself these days...

A.B. Guthrie Jr. won the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for "The Way West"

Thought for the day: "The great advantage of having a bear as a central character is that he can combine the innocence of a child with the sophistication of an adult." – Michael Bond (creator of Paddington Bear)
Tip: Know your audience. Writing for children, teens, young adults, adults all require a different style of writing. So do different genres. Figure out what you want to write, who you're writing for, and learn the craft for that angle.
Jumpstart: The borough has just dumped four feet of snow in front of your driveway and you cannot get out. Come up with a plausible excuse for your boss as to why you can't get to work. You've used the "snowed in" excuse one too many times.
Oh, sweet Paddington Bear, at the train station, with his blue coat (with the tag), red hat, and suitcase. Such adventures he had.

Whitman continues to spend freely in governor's…
Whitman continues to spend freely in governor's race
Republican Meg Whitman and Democrat Jerry Brown are vying to be California's next governor.
By Martin Wisckol | mwisckol@scng.com | Orange County Register
August 2, 2010 at 7:04 p.m.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman didn't skip a beat in campaign spending after her June 8 primary win, pouring in $20 million more by June 30 toward her November race against Democrat Jerry Brown.
That makes $91 million of her own money the billionaire former eBay CEO has spent on the race, according to financial disclosures filed Monday. She's raised $18.7 million from others, spending $99.4 million overall with $10.3 million left in her account. Observers expect her to spend tens of millions more before the race is over.
Brown, who doesn't have his opponent's wealth, has raised $24.3 million and spent cautiously – just $519,000 overall, leaving $23.2 million in his account. He benefited from not having a strong opponent in the primary, while Whitman pulled out the stops to defeat GOP Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner.
Whitman began airing television and radio commercials in English and Spanish almost immediately following her broad victory over Poizner, an aggressive anti-illegal immigration candidate.
Whitman said during the primary that she'd be "tough as nails" on immigration. But she's since been actively courting Latino voters and is emphasizing that she opposes bringing the controversial Arizona immigration law to California and that she opposed Proposition 187, which attempted to severely curtail public services to illegal immigrants.
Brown, a former California governor and the current attorney general, has four decades of public service worth of name identification. That combines with voter registration that favors Democrats and public labor unions that have launched independent campaigns to help get him elected. Brown's own campaign has not yet aired ads.
A Field Poll last week showed Brown ahead, 37 percent to Whitman's 34 percent.
Asked at a Saturday event when he would begin spending money on the race, Brown said elections "reach a certain crescendo" in September and October, when he said voters really begin to focus on the races.
Labor unions have been particularly generous to Brown. Those that have donated directly include the Service Employees International Union (the maximum of $51,800), the United Food and Commerical Workers ($51,800), the International Union of Operating Engineers ($51,800), the International Longshore and Warehouse Union ($38,000), the California Union of Highway Patrol ($25,900), and the Los Angeles County Firefighters union ($25,900).

Across an organization, there are often different network analyzer users with varying analysis needs; e.g., operators and vendors will each use test networks for distinct purposes. However, despite this difference, the source of the information remains in the same network interface, and therefore, all users are able to access the same lines—simultaneously and independently. With the PowerHawk, EXFO has overcome the challenges that come with simultaneous and independent use by developing a real-time, multi-user analyzer system with location-independent access.
Different users in the lab or in an operational network have different analysis needs. For instance, the customer-support team is interested in solving problems, such as dropped calls within a certain area, and viewing the related statistics. On the other hand, the service team might be more interested in launching new services and observing how they are utilized by different subscriber segments. What's more, network testing is more intensive now than with previous network generations.
To meet all the needs of an organization, the system in place must satisfy the various requirements of distinct user groups, while ensuring that they do not conflict with each other; i.e., one user group must not prevent others from accessing data when utilization of high-rate equipment is needed.

The Bible Herald, 1879, pp. 29-34.
There is a difference between liberty, or deliverance, and the realization of it. Since deliverance is not a matter of intelligence, but experimental, you cannot be delivered without having first felt the yoke of sin. It is possible to have the pardon of sins, without having been much exercised in your own conscience. The love of God may be seen in pardoning our sins, but without having the consciousness of what we are, without feeling sin.
When we judge things according to our state, we are always under the law, in one way or another. The law gives the duties of our relations, but when it says, "Thou shalt not covet"; then it touches the root, the seat of evil in the heart. Nevertheless, the law does not say that man is lost; only the result is, that we cannot fulfil it. Some people quote James 1:14,15, and pretend that "concupiscence" is not "sin," unless the will consent to it; but in this passage sin is outward sin; whilst, instead, in Rom. 7:8, it is sin which works "concupiscence" and here sin is the cause and the root.
When I discover what I am; it is not only knowledge, but an experience which I make of myself. I have indeed the will to do good: but I find that I am incapable of doing it.
In Rom. 7:14, "We know" is the intelligence, but "I" is individual experience. I cannot have the understanding of deliverance without its being in an experimental way: I cannot die simply by the intelligence of it; there must be the reality, the practical experience. When one dies, there is "no strength"; then one cries out — "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?" And when I perceive that I cannot do good, I find that I am dead in Christ. If I can really say that I am dead, (not only that I am pardoned, which is another thing), then it is something in me.
The seventh chapter is not death to sin; but that I cannot get the victory. You get to deliverance by experience: and then I am convinced that I can do nothing; that truly there is "no good" in me. If I am not brought to the experimental knowledge of my incapacity, this seventh chapter of Romans will be a long experience. But are we contented to discover what we are? Do you realize practically that which you have learned?
This seventh chapter, then, is not the Christian state; for in this chapter one is only thinking of oneself; instead of which we ought to be thinking of Christ, and of what we are in Christ before God.
There is much confusion made between holiness, and justification. Not a few stop at those words, "follow holiness without which no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14). But in seeking this holiness, they do not perceive that they are seeking justification; since, if a person is not at rest before God, it is justification that one would need: but holiness is the judgment of the evil.
When we are justified, we hate evil; that is exactly holiness. Holiness makes me say, That is an evil thing, detestable! The question therefore of justification must first be settled, before there can be holiness. You confuse the two things till you are delivered. It is not possible that there should be true holiness until justification is well established. My acceptance with God in the negative sense consists in this, that my sins are annulled; and in the positive sense that I am "accepted in the Beloved."
The Father loves me as He loves His Son Jesus, not only because He is love, but because He is just in virtue of the perfect work of Christ. If I were accepted by my own holiness, then it would be through something that I am, and not through Christ; but I am "accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:7).
The sanctification in the Epistle to the Hebrews is different from that which is found in Peter and elsewhere. The Spirit sanctifies by the work of Christ; then comes practical sanctification. It is said "As he is" (not as He was) "so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17). Christ in heaven is the practical measure of what ought to be; and in this sense it is always progressive. At every step I make in this life, I always discover more of the glory of Christ. In the Old Testament (Lev. 14), for the purification of the leper the blood was put on the tip of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the great toe of the right foot; which signified that in my conduct I ought to do nothing in disaccord with the blood of Christ.
According to the Epistle to the Rom. 6:11, etc. I am already become a dead man, and living the life of Christ. According to 2 Cor. 1:8-10, the apostle esteemed himself as a dead man; and such he was before persecution. The apostle always bore about the "dying of Jesus," so that there was only "the life of Jesus" that worked in him. If death is necessary for us, it is a sign that there is always evil in us. If you compare 2 Cor. 4:10, 11, with 1:8-10, you will see that when death was there present to Paul, he was already dead.
"Life in you" (2 Cor. 4:12), means that his life was in relation with the Corinthians. Christianity was a reality for Paul; Christ, being rejected, all his relations were in heaven (2 Cor. 4:18). That does not mean that he never failed. For the cultivation of practical holiness there are means, such as prayer, watchfulness, the study of the Word, etc. But the principal thing is to get thoroughly hold of the measure of it.
Have you, who hear the name of the Lord, made your reckoning that you are dead? Many Christians have not commenced their course as being dead. Let us seek to realize that. We often suffer, not because we are faithful, but because we need to be mortified; "If in this life only we have hope in Christ we are of all men most miserable" (1 Cor. 15:19). The Lausanne translation has badly translated this passage, for it lets it be supposed that Christ does not suffice. In general this translation wants spiritual intelligence. Certainly if this life only were in question Paul was the most miserable man in the world; beaten, persecuted, with death always before him. Do we want anything else? Money, position, honour, or something else? Then, as a fact, we do not desire death. To "always bear about in the body the death" is as much as to say that Christ is our all. We all fail, it is true: but let us study, at least, to realize these things. Do we find that we are dead? and do we conduct ourselves as risen men?
In Gal. 2:19-20, "By the law I am dead to the law." The law had put Paul to death, but Christ had taken His condemnation. Paul had taken death, but not condemnation. Then comes the positive part, "Christ lives in me," etc. We must have Christ before us in order to live with this object and to have a course to run. There is action, and reaction having death in order to live, we ought to live in order to realize death. The level of christianity has been lowered by bad teachings.
It is asked what is the difference between the anointing and the sealing. It is the same thing. Christ was anointed, and also sealed. The leper (Lev. 14) was first washed with water, then sprinkled with blood, and finally anointed. It is not possible for any one to believe fully in the value of the blood of Christ and not be sealed. They may hope, but do not know the position that the blood of Christ gives us before God. I have said to Christians who told me that they were not sure that they were children of God; then why do you call God your Father, if you are not sure of being his children? then don't call Him Father. There are thus souls who joy in God as Father and in their relative position without being able to explain it; but the important thing is that they possess the thing itself.
In Christendom, the presence of the Holy Ghost is not believed in; His operations are confounded with His presence. There were always believers before Pentecost, but they had not yet received the Spirit as it is spoken of in Eph. 1:13. God seals faith. As the Son of God was sent, and came down here, so the Spirit was sent, and is come. It is certain that all that ever was done or created, was always by the operation of the Spirit, but His indwelling is another thing. When the Lord breathed on His disciples in John 20:22 saying "receive ye the Holy Ghost" after His resurrection, it was not the promise of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, because Christ was not yet glorified. It was a breath of the life of resurrection, "life more abundantly" as it is said in John 10:10. That is a reference to the breathing of God upon Adam. The work of Christ was already accepted when He breathed on the disciples; but He was not yet in the glory. You see in Acts 1:8, "Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." In Rom. 8, life and the Holy Ghost go together. That He is the spirit of life is true in v. 2, but He is also the Spirit of God in v. 9, and also the Spirit of Christ; and it is like "Christ" the spring and its stream, you can't separate them. People, who only take one view of truths when they learn or teach in the things of God, change their nature.

Hot and wet front sweeps over country with potential flooding for several regions
MetService Weather New Zealand: January 17th - 19th
By: Ryan Dunlop
Kiwis can say goodbye to dry weather, but not to the heat.
Most of the country is bracing for wet weather as a warm front holding large rainfall sweeps over the country, expecting to pelt some areas with as much as 200mm in the next 36 hours.
The front which may cause flooding in several areas is currently moving over Westland and Nelson, and heading for the capital and Auckland.
Parts of the western ranges of Nelson had received 100mm of rain already, Metservice meteorologist Lisa Murray said.
Some areas were expecting 200mm to 250mm in the ranges as the front moved over, especially west of Motueka, Murray said.
"It is a really slow-moving front and a lot of rainfall associated with it, there is some places that could see 30 to 45 mm heavy rain in an hour," Murray said.
Surface flooding had already been reported by NZTA on State Highway 60 Takaka to Collingwood.
Flooding near the Little Onahau River Bridge had caused a temporary speed limit to be put in place. Road users were advised to take extra care.

Shady Rest owner Mark Taylor said he had left Takaka to go to Motueka and the rain had been very heavy but the roads were still in good condition.
"It's really bad. It is a heavy downpour."

Murray said the front was "really slow" moving and would stick around for some time.
"The front is coming from Northland coming down Farewell Spit, and wrapping around the Cook Strait and then coming to the east of the Banks Peninsula."
On the West Coast of the South Island Franz Josef had already recorded 50mm in the last 12 hours, with Hokitika (31mm) and Milford had 44mm also experiencing a downpour.
The HOT doesn't STOP - #Auckland minimum temperatures are 19 or 20 degrees for the next 7 days. Warm air sticks around, with humid, muggy conditions. Too cloudy for max temps to break many more records, but warm nights and difficult sleeping will continue. ^TA pic.twitter.com/zaL9hsvEEj
— MetService (@MetService) January 17, 2018
A wet-weather warning was in place for Auckland from 6am Thursday to 6am Friday, with a potential for 80mm to 120mm to fall.
Murray advised everyone to keep an eye of Metservice reports to be best prepared.
The wet weather did not mean cooler temperatures and many Kiwis could find it hard to sleep with the high humidity, she said.
"Overnight it is quite warm still; the warm overnight temperatures will stick around.
"It's a warm air mass, we are not going to see temperatures in the 30s but it will be quite muggy," Murray said.

Crue Invest > Let's talk about money > Financial Planning > Save tax on your children's school fees
Save tax on your children's school fees
13th Nov 2019 Sue Torr Financial Planning
The positive correlation between a population's general level of education and its economic development, levels of employment, average income, health and reduced crime rates is undisputed. In our sluggish economic environment – with nominal salary increases and rising job losses – most South Africans are seeking ways to reduce their expenditure and their tax burden. One such method is the often-overlooked tax relief provided to employees under Section 10(1)(q) of the Income Tax Act.
The norm is for employees to receive their income after PAYE, UIF and other deductions and to thereafter pay their children's school fees from their net income. However, in terms of Section 10(1)(q), employers are entitled to redirect a portion of their employees' remuneration towards school fees in the form of a bona fide scholarship or bursary – thereby effectively reducing the tax liability of the employee.
Case Study 1: James
By way of example, James earns a gross monthly income of R15 000, or R180 000 for the tax year. He has one child at school whose school fees amount to R18 000 per year. By restructuring his salary in terms of Section 10(1)(q) of the Income Tax Act, the tax deduction would afford him an after-tax amount of R3 404.64 in the tax year. This would be calculated as follows:
In order for a Section 10(1)(q) deduction to apply, the following requirements must be met in terms of the bursary or scholarship:
The scholarship or bursary must be a bona fidescholarship or bursary
It must be granted to enable or assist a person to study
The student or learner must study at a recognised educational or research institution
It is important to note that, in order to qualify, the gross remuneration threshold for an employee is set at R600 000 per year. Those earning in excess of this threshold do not quality for the exemption. The current exemption thresholds for this benefit are:
Grade R to Grade 12 or NQF level 1 – 4: R20 000 per annum per child
NQF level 5 – 10: R60 000 per annum per child
In the event that the employee's school fees total more than the thresholds, the tax exemption is capped at the threshold. For instance, if the school fees are R26 000 per year, R20 000 will qualify for the tax exemption and the remaining R6 000 will be taxed as a fringe benefit. As these exemptions apply per child, the tax saving could become quite significant should you have more than one child at school.
Case Study 2: Aimee
To demonstrate this, we have assumed that Aimee earns a gross monthly income of R40 000, totaling R480 000 for the tax year. She has three children whose school fees each total R20 000 per annum, totaling R60 000 for the year. If Aimee and her employer make use of the Sec. 10(1)(q) deduction, she would save R21 435.50 in tax for the year.
You will note that Aimee's gross remuneration remains unchanged; however, her remuneration now includes the bursary allocation as a tax exemption and as a result she pays tax on a lower amount. The employer will also receive a tax benefit because the liability for SDL on the exemption portion would fall away. Therefore, both Aimee and her employer will benefit from a reduced tax liability.
It was the late Nelson Mandela who famously said that "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Section 10(1)(q) of the Income Tax Act provides an excellent way for parents to more efficiently fund for their children's education.

I run a Win10, 64bit installation with Hollywood 6.1.
...which is the one you can download currently.
Does it work with the version I have used?
Or the Secret Weapon III will be related to time warping?
If I could travel time with just a pendrive with me, I could release stuffs more frequent than You! That would surely "open up a whole new world of programming with Hollywood"
Edit: Ahh, that was just the forum engine . After posted the date of the previous post changed back to Mar 19.
Quick news: Hollywood Player 6.1 now available for Android from Google Play.
Thanks for the link to the older version of the NDK. Compilations now work, and they run on my Asus TF700 Android tablet.
Bu then, perhaps a 'Hello World' program is really too simple.
Anyway, I had my laughs and compiled and ran a couple of the demo programs on the tablet to verify that all is well.
What the <List> parameter for -linkplugins switch is formed ?
or <list> must point to a list of plugin in a txt file ?... very fuzzy.
I don't want to add a new preprocessor command for this purpose but maybe I could add a "Link" tag to @REQUIRE... this could simplify things here. I might add this for the next update.
But, is always a good maner to know if the Proggy is self explaining. which is "almost" always the case with Hollywood !

Hay fever can be tough on an outdoor dog.
If your furry friend is among the estimated 10 percent of dogs in America who suffer from hay fever, she may display symptoms similar to those in humans – and a few of her own. Recognizing and discussing these symptoms with your veterinarian will help to get her through this rough patch.
Itchy skin is the most common symptom of hay fever in dogs. Pollen that penetrates your dog's pores or is inhaled can result in itchy, agitated skin. She is likely to bite and aggressively scratch her skin, and frantically rub against furniture or an innocent house guest to find comfort. Your dog may also search for cool concrete or hard floors to stretch out on and soothe her itch.
Your dog's fur, on her face and feet particularly, may start to thin due to the constant scratching and biting. Her skin underneath may break into a nasty rash, that left untreated by your veterinarian may even bleed or become infected. Avoid this by checking under your dog's fur for a rash when she displays these symptoms.
In some cases, dogs display signs of respiratory problems due to an overreaction to airborne or inhaled allergens. The reactions are similar to those we experience when suffering from hay fever or asthma. If your dog is allergic to them, certain pollen and spores she inhales will cause her immune system to produce histamines. These histamines will create swelling of her respiratory tract, resulting in panting, wheezing and noticeable difficulty breathing.
In some cases, the nose and eye problems that plague human sufferers can also affect your four-legged friend if she has hay fever. The pollen, molds and grasses that are in the air during hay fever season may cause her eyes to water, her nose to run and even an occasional sneezing fit. Stand by with a box of tissues to help her through this tough period.

Royal BC Museum growing and changing for future
Big changes are happening to the Royal BC Museum. The 135-year-old institution announced today it will begin a process of decolonization to ensure the museum is a welcoming place for everyone.
"This is necessary to begin the long-term work of creating new narratives that include under-represented voices and reflect the lived experiences and contemporary stories of people in BC," acting CEO Daniel Muzyka said in a news release. The current exhibits will remain until Dec. 31, with a phased approach to updating galleries beginning in 2022.
Last week, the museum announced another exciting development as the province selected three firms to participate in the next phase of design and construction proposals for a new building in Colwood. Chamber Champions Kinetic Construction and Knappett Projects Inc. are bidding on the project to potentially partner with RBCM.
The new facility will house RBCM's collections and research department, as well as the BC Archives.
How to Participate in National Truth and Reconciliation Day
Chamber staff show solidarity for Orange Shirt Day.
Sept. 30 is National Truth and Reconciliation Day — a time to reflect on the history of residential schools and to listen with purpose to the stories of our Indigenous friends and neighbours.
Municipalities across Greater Victoria are hosting events to commemorate and celebrate indigenous voices, including:
The City of Victoria will be hosting the Xe xe Smun' eem-Victoria Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters Ceremony from noon to 2:30 pm at Centennial Square. The event will include Indigenous performances, a minute of silence, and guest speakers sharing their personal experiences with residential schools and reconciliation.
The District of Oak Bay will be hosting events through the group ReconciliACTION Oak Bay – beginning in front of Oak Bay High School at 10 am, the event will honour residential school survivors with members of the Songhees Nation sharing their wisdom.
The City of Colwood will be presenting the Na'tsa'maht Gathering in honour of Truth and Reconciliation. The event will take place from 10 am – 4 pm at Royal Beach, and will include traditional songs, drumming, dancing and more.
The Corporation of the District of Saanich will be lighting the municipal hall orange on the evenings of September 29-30, and the flag will be lowered to half-mast.
The Township of Esquimalt has illuminated the Archie Browning Sports Centre in orange this week, and will continue to do so until September 30.
Along with the region's municipalities, post-secondary institutions have committed to close their campuses on Sept. 30 and are offering informative and inclusive events:
The University of Victoria has been hosting various reconciliation events throughout the week. From film screenings at the First People's House to livestreamed educational sessions, the university also has orange shirts designed by Carey Newman Hayalthkin'geme available at the bookstore. University President Kevin Hall will be detailing UVic's calls to action and the role of education for Truth and Reconciliation.
Royal Roads University invites the community to join in virtual learning and events to honour the strength and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, including the #DrumForTheChildren virtual event at 2:15 with the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Nation. On and around campus, many will share on social media their commitment to reconciliation wearing the limited-edition Orange Shirt with a powerful logo of the Heron People Circle (elder and old ones) by member Clarence "Butch" Dick of Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees) Nation.
Camosun College hosted their Orange Shirt Day event Wednesday at 1 pm. Attendees were invited to create love baskets filled with treats and medicines. The baskets will be delivered to residential school survivors who work closely with the college.
How can you contribute to Truth and Reconciliation?
How will you recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation? For the first time, Canadians will officially join together tomorrow to honour Indigenous children who experienced traumatic abuse under the residential school system.
For the business community, a starting point could be the specific call to action by Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Meaningful consultation, respectful relationships and ensuring consent of Indigenous peoples are among the ways businesses can help the reconciliation process. Other ways include ensuring access to jobs and training needed to benefit from economic development, as well as making sure all of us better understand the history of residential schools and ongoing challenges facing Indigenous people.
This summer, The Chamber took steps to address this call to action by creating an Indigenous Business Task Force. If you are interested in contributing to this initiative, or know someone who would be good addition, please contact us at communications@victoriachamber.ca.
How are you marking Truth and Reconciliation Day?
How does your business plan to mark Canada's first National Truth and Reconciliation Day on Sept. 30?
Canada's civil service will take the day off with pay. As well, the province and numerous institutions such as the University of Victoria, Camosun College and the Greater Victoria School District are also giving staff the day off.
"The Chamber has also made the decision to close our office on Sept. 30. We felt it was the right thing to do for our organization and reflects the decision we made, earlier in the summer, to create a new task force to help Indigenous entrepreneurs and First Nation businesses fully participate in Greater Victoria's business community," Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said, noting that the day is not a statutory holiday according to BC's Employment Standards Act. "Every organization will make their own decisions based on their business and sector."
The Chamber will be using our Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter channels to reflect on the importance of this day as well as ongoing efforts to support the reconciliation process. Please follow and share, and let us know if you're planning anything to mark the day by emailing members@victoriachamber.ca.

Chamber announces first chair of new Committee for the Advancement of Diversity and Inclusion
Richard Michaels has been named chair of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce's newly formed Committee for the Advancement of Diversity and Inclusion. The committee will reach out to better include communities that have faced systemic marginalization due to race, ethnicity, gender, physical capabilities or other factors.
"I am proud to be the first chair of this new committee, which recognizes that the demographics of Greater Victoria are evolving and that adapting to this change is fundamental to the sustainability of our region's economy," said Michaels, president of MACCRIM Solutions and a member of The Chamber's Board of Directors. "The Chamber is working to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment that engages businesses owners and entrepreneurs who reflect the full spectrum of our region. This strengthens our organization and ensures everyone in our region's business community is represented by The Chamber."
The purpose of the Committee for the Advancement of Diversity and Inclusion is to offer advice and guidance to help The Chamber create a more inclusive and welcoming business community. The mandate is part of the work the organization has been doing to achieve its vision of being "the region's most diverse and influential business association."
In June, The Chamber also announced the creation of an Indigenous Business Task Force to work toward reconciliation by engaging with Indigenous-owned businesses and First Nations to ensure they have access to all opportunities available to help them flourish.
"As we emerge from the pandemic, we know things will not be as they were before it started," Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said. "This is the time to take what we've learned from successfully adapting to challenging times and make our economy more sustainable. Good business really does build great community for all."
Chamber CEO named to BIPOC and Inclusion Council
Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Williams has been named to the inaugural Canadian Chamber of Commerce BIPOC and Inclusion Council.
Diversity initiatives across the country are playing a part in creating a more socially inclusive economy. Small businesses play an important role, but often don't know where to start.
"Chambers are experts at building connections and bringing people together," Chamber CEO Bruce Willams says. "We talk about being more inclusive and diverse, and we also need to walk the walk by hearing directly from voices and lived experiences that will guide us in making meaningful change."
The new council will inform the Canadian Chamber's initiatives in supporting BIPOC, drive meaningful action to address the identified challenges and opportunities BIPOC face in participating in the Canadian economy, share and recognize best practices and advocate for changes that facilitate diversity and inclusion.
The Chamber has repeatedly advocated that inclusion is a key economic driver. Across Canada, improved participation rates could add 2.2 million workers to the labour force by 2040, including more women, Indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities, thereby growing our economy by $101 billion.
New funds available for Indigenous food producers
Financial support is available for First Nations and Indigenous entrepreneurs looking to produce or process food, or other associated activities. The BC Indigenous Agriculture Development Program provides up to $8,000 for specialized planning and coaching services to help develop food and agricultural businesses.
Food security is a priority for our region, and tapping into Indigenous knowledge about sustainable production on their traditional territories can only help as we continue to face challenges due to climate events.
The program is first-come first-serve and will be available until all of the ascribed funding is allocated.
City's renewed vibrancy reflects business recovery
The move to Step 3 of BC's Restart Plan has renewed optimism among the many businesses that had been stifled by pandemic restrictions.
"We're gradually expanding our capacity to move a little closer to whatever normal is going to be," Chamber CEO Bruce Williams told CFAX's Al Ferraby. The two also discussed the need for Canada to open its border to international travellers.
Getting back to business is not without its challenges. Employers continue to struggle finding people to fill available jobs, and supply chains are still working through some of the bumps caused by extended shutdowns. The Chamber and our community partners also continue to urge the provincial government to return its workforce to downtown offices.
Williams also spoke to CFAX about The Chamber's effort to support Indigenous business and follow through on calls to action outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The Chamber Board recently approved the creation of a new task-force committed to listening and working alongside First Nations' businesses and Indigenous entrepreneurs. Another way we're supporting economic reconciliation is through a new membership program created for Indigenous-owned business.
Victoria Native Friendship Centre receives house as donation
The Victoria Native Friendship Centre was bequeathed a large property in the District of Oak Bay. The house, donated by 85-year-old Marion Cumming, is one of many properties donated to Indigenous groups across Canada by Cumming and her late husband Bruce.
A decision has not yet been made on how the property will be used, but ideas include using the space for board retreats or an artist in residence.
Including Indigenous businesses benefits all of us
On Monday, The Chamber celebrated National Indigenous Peoples Day on social media, and we continue to look for new ways to support Indigenous-owned businesses in Greater Victoria.
Next week, we will announce a special initiative to help more Indigenous businesses benefit from being part of our region's business community. The Chamber is committed to being an inclusive organization and making sure we live up to our vision of being the region's most diverse and influential business association.

About FIVE
The FIVE App
What is FIVE?
The FIVE Network connects talented students to influential and caring mentors from across the country via the safe and secure mobile FIVE app. These mentors will help them develop critical life skills, expose them to a world of work opportunities, expand their personal networks, and serve as a positive presence in their lives.
How does FIVE work?
Each mentee has a dedicated team of five adults: 3 mentors, 1 local OTG (On-the-ground), and 1 online operator. The mentors are professionals from across the country, matched to mentees based on shared interests and work and life experience. They will be the mentee's primary point of contact, and their role will be to communicate consistently and authentically. The OTG is a FIVE employee who lives in the local community and will have trusted relationships with the schools, churches, athletic organizations, families, and the mentees themselves. This person is also responsible for feeding information into the platform about the mentee that will then help to inform the mentee/mentor conversations. The online operator is also a FIVE employee located in Washington, DC, and is responsible for ensuring that the mentee/mentor communication is monitored. Additionally, FIVE delivers daily content that exposes mentees to world of work opportunities and promotes habits and critical skills for success in work and in life.
What content does FIVE offer?
FIVE delivers content every day, 365 days per year:
(Role) Model It Mondays: Inspirational video featuring positive role models who are their life stories and advice.
Tell It Tuesdays: Inspirational quote and learning about the author.
World of Work Wednesdays: Video profiling a range of different and intriguing jobs/careers and understanding pathways to them.
Shout Out Thursdays: Weekly updates on leaderboard status and shout outs on mentee activity.
FIVE Index: Knowledge sharing and learning of critical life skills concepts
FIVE 7-Challenges: A 7 day challenge designed to foster positive habit formation
Check-In Sundays: Opportunity for mentee to share what's on their minds and complete surveys.
Mentees are high school students that have applied to and been accepted into the FIVE program. Though FIVE partners with schools, districts and organizations to recruit mentees, FIVE applicants may attend any school. Click the "Apply to FIVE" tab for information on joining FIVE as a mentee. Apply to FIVE
Mentors are professionals representing a wide range of industries that are recruited from across the country through partnerships with corporations and organizations. They undergo rigorous background checks before they are matched with mentees. Click the "Safety & Security" tab for information on the measures we take to ensure a safe and positive experience for all mentees. Apply to FIVE
FIVE expects mentees to engage in the FIVE app for 3 to 5 minutes per day. Students receive daily content that is fun and easy to digest, while communications with mentors are as simple as a text or video message.
FIVE expects mentors to engage in the FIVE app approximately 15 minutes on a weekly basis, but mentors may communicate with mentees on a daily basis as desired.
How long is the FIVE program?
The FIVE mentoring program is a five year commitment, beginning in 9th grade and extending one year post graduation.
Does FIVE conflict with school work?
FIVE is not a school program and designed not to conflict with school work. Mentees receive content and communications before and after school, as well as on the weekends, so that notifications fall outside of schools hours. Additionally, FIVE expects mentees to be in the FIVE app only 3-5 minutes per day, an amount of time that can be manageable around homework, extracurricular and family responsibilities.
The FIVE program is free to students, parents and schools. This is provided at no cost thanks to corporate and organizational partners who are invested in nurturing a diverse and talented future workforce.
How does FIVE ensure safety?
FIVE has taken every measure possible in the application process and within the platform itself to ensure a safe and positive experience for young people engaged in our program.
Before any mentor engages with a young person, he or she undergoes a full federal and state background check. Only then can that adult enter the FIVE network.
All communications are monitored and flagged by the platform according to key words, as well as by two FIVE staff members who are a part of every mentee's team. These individuals can view all of the texts, photos, and videos to ensure they are safe and appropriate. At any point during a communication, mentees and mentors may signal an alert and halt communications, allowing FIVE team members to intercede as needed. Mentees' teams abide by mandatory reporting laws, and should a serious issue arise related to a mentoring relationship or individuals student, the FIVE OTG will be in touch with the appropriate agency as well as the school's point of contact.
FIVE Code of Conduct
To cultivate a safe, healthy and respectful FIVE community, all mentors and mentees agree to the FIVE Code of Conduct and participate in extensive training on the role of FIVE mentors, the nature of professional relationships and networks, and how to communicate appropriately and effectively in this context.
FIVE Code of Conduct:
The FIVE Network is a vibrant and diverse community of mentees and mentors spanning different ages from many different geographies, cultures, races, skin colors, religions, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, life experiences, career choices and financial means. The FIVE Network expands networks, relationships and opportunities.
At the core of our values is the belief that respect of oneself, others and differences allow everyone to build strong and productive relationships in healthy, safe and respectful ways. These principles should guide all FIVE behaviors and all FIVE communications between mentors and mentees. Behaviors or communications that defame or victimize any group or individual or that otherwise express vulgarity, profanity, hatred, bigotry or racism in any manner will result in immediate action and have serious consequences. We never want anything to erode the strength of the FIVE community.
FIVE participants are expected to act lawfully, honestly, ethically, and in the best interests of ensuring the safety of the FIVE community. In addition to upholding this code of conduct, FIVE participants are subject to all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
During the application process, FIVE collects basic information including name, city and state of residence, email, cell phone numbers, school, and interests, which FIVE uses in the mentee-mentor matching process. Click here to read our full Privacy Policy.
FIVE and Social Media
In order to maintain a safe space for all FIVE participants, mentees and mentors may not share FIVE content on social media or chat with the team outside of the FIVE platform.
I am a high school student. Can I apply to FIVE?
FIVE aims to attract a wide range of students for our mentoring program. The primary quality we're looking for is for mentees to show real interest in connecting with and learning from their mentors.
That said, there are a couple of qualifications: 1) students must be in 9th Grade for the 2019-20 school year, and 2) students must be 14 years old to apply via the online application. With parent permission, FIVE can make exceptions for students who turn 14 later in their 9th grade year.
Because FIVE expects students to engage independently in the platform content and mentoring experience, our program is not a good match for students with significant learning differences or emotional or behavioral challenges.
What is the application timeline?
The FIVE Mentee Application is currently open for the 2019-20 school year, and the deadline is in November, 2019. Students will be notified of acceptance by and will begin the program in November. Click here to begin the FIVE Application.

5 Advantages to Using Property Management Software in the Senior Care Market
By Tim Blackwell | Aug 8, 2014
With more players entering the rapidly growing assisted living and memory care arenas, hands-on management of care practices is more critical than ever. Having the right tools may be the difference between creating a higher, more dependable level of service and having empty rooms.
Investing in the Senior Living Market
The assisted living and memory care playing field has widened significantly in the past two years with the need for care for an aging population and investors wanting to diversify portfolios and enter a potentially lucrative field.
The National Center for Health Statistics reported that in 2012 some 58,500 paid, regulated long-term care service providers served about 8 million people in the United States. Among them were 20,000-30,000 assisted living and similar residential care communities of varying sizes and shapes.
"The investment world has figured out that the world of senior living/assisted living is a really good place to invest," said Doug Fullaway, VP Business Development RealPage Senior Living.
Adding a senior living or memory care community offers several expansion and brand opportunities for property owners. In addition to the expected pressure for increased occupancy, a huge compliance burden exists, as well as the need to manage a brand, says Patrice Danaher, Director of Product Management, RealPage Senior Living.
"That's becoming something that we hear so much more of in the last two years," she said. "We see that as organizations purchase different kinds of housing options and expand their portfolio mix. For example, an affordable client adding some senior living. A traditional senior living adding memory care, or the continuing care community retirement campus, really has some brand management opportunities."
Having the right property management tools and software focused on managing varying levels of senior care are essential, she added. Specific assessment features and workflows can help you deliver quality care while achieving targeted margins and generate reports to efficiently manage exceptions.
Addressing high turnover in assisted living with software solutions
One of the industry's biggest challenges, Danaher says, is annual staff and resident turnover. Staff turnover is hovering around 38 percent, and she doesn't expect that to drop much. Resident turnover is higher at 46 percent.
Such high turnover makes a person-centered-care environment a challenge to maintain, she said.
A care-focused software solution can help a community meet all the specific care needs of a resident and reduce the likelihood of turnover because of mismanagement.
"Guessing and trying to remember things won't cut it," she said. "There are countless things a caregiver must remember about a person and has an obligation to deliver in senior living settings."
Following are five advantages from using property management software in the senior care market:
1. Manage Senior Care Delivery
Consistency and accuracy in task completion documentation results in quality. Generate reports to help manage exceptions to varying levels of care on an individual basis. Multiple configurable templates provide the flexibility you need to match your business policies and procedures. Also, the tool can be used to designate controls for developing and updating information as necessary. Standard times for services are included, but can be adjusted by resident or service type as needed.
2. Manage Costs Associated with Running Your Senior Community
An automated assessment tool can include a proprietary scoring method to help senior housing operators calculate their exact cost of care so they can more accurately charge for services. No more guesswork, as Danaher suggests. Knowing costs offers opportunities to capture additional revenue.
Reporting gives you drill-down capabilities, so you can have full visibility into your business, both at the community level and across the portfolio. Real-time reporting provides the analysis you need to manage business.
3. Manage Risk through Resident Screening
Resident screening, says Fullaway, is not well adopted in the assisted living world. He points to the case of three elderly ladies who moved into an assisted living facility and began dealing drugs. When it was discovered they were selling a narcotic, a subsequent record check revealed the women had been arrested before on similar charges.
"Because all ladies were on Medicaid, they couldn't throw them out," he said. "There was no screening done here; it's the norm in this business. How dangerous can an 87-year-old lady be? They can be dangerous. You really need to start thinking about this. It's not very expensive to do, and it allows you information to make a better decision," he said.
4. Maintain Vendor and State Compliance
Software helps properties collect the necessary information needed to comply with state regulations, and generate state-specific reports in required formats. Also, vendor compliance and vendor lists can be managed.
5. Establish Benchmarks to Measure Future Performance
The assisted living and memory care industries are lean on benchmarks, so tracking performance through software is a way to establish standards for comparative analysis and helps identify trends throughout the day-to-day management of the business. Doing so can help build realistic resident histories of incidents and other factors critical to care management.
A digital software solution will help assisted living and senior living communities better manage and grow business while leaving more time to care for senior residents.

Thanks to our collaboration with IsoAcoustics, we will replace the current version of MIZA X, that features built-in height adjustable speakers stands, with a new version that comes with a pair of Zaor Isoplanes, featuring IsoAcoustic's Aperta delivering superb acoustic isolation and thus a much better Stereo image and transparent low.
Cut off date is the 1st of November.
All orders received after that date will be fulfilled with the new version, the MIZA X2.

Identikit è un film del 1974 diretto da Giuseppe Patroni Griffi.

Trama
Una matura donna tedesca compie un viaggio a Roma nel tentativo di liberarsi dalla depressione da cui è affetta. Alla ricerca di un "ultimo amante", frequenta diversi uomini e finisce per essere assassinata da uno psicopatico, a cui lei stessa fornisce il pugnale e che istruisce su come colpirla, nel parco di Villa Borghese.

Produzione

Cast

Cameo
Da segnalare un'apparizione dell'artista pop Andy Warhol nel ruolo di un nobile inglese.

Distribuzione
Proiettato in anteprima a Montecarlo nel maggio 1974, il film seppe tenere testa alla concomitante apertura del Festival di Cannes che si svolgeva a pochi chilometri grazie ad un evento mondano i cui padrini furono i principi Ranieri e Grace di Monaco, ma una volta nelle sale venne stroncato dalla critica e poco visto dal pubblico.

I am having some difficultly controlling how getters and setters are generated, I hope you can help me understand what I'm doing wrong.
For class attributes I can set the read-only property to prevent a setter being generated. Is there some way to prevent the generation of a getter too? Could I generate only a setter to implement a write-only policy?
For the "association end" variables (that implement navigation), setting the read-only property doesn't seem to work (i.e. a setter is still generated). How can I disable the generation of a getter for these?
I can remove all external access by declaring the "association end" variable private, but this generates private getters and setters which do not seem very useful. Is it possible to prevent the generation of these private getters and setters?
In the properties view (display it with Alt-3 and type 'properties' if you don't see it) you can select the 'Legacy' style on the 'Code Style' tab to generate very basic Java code for an element. You can change the Code Style for an entire package or model - or for a single element.
Let us know if this was what you are after.
