Analyzing How Much Gina Ravera Has Made From Her Filmography and More On Her Personal Life
By Adeola Seun
Gina Ravera is an African-American and Puerto Rican actress who has been in the film industry for over two and a half decades. She has gained recognition for her outstanding performance in the crime drama series, The Closer, and The Temptations.
Although she had a brief hiatus in 2014 and only returned to active acting in 2018, Gina Ravera has had a significant level of success as an actress; maybe not in the number of awards or her net worth, but definitely in the number of films and television shows her talent has enabled her to appear in. Some of them have been classic works such as The Great Debaters.
Gina Ravera Previously Wanted To Become A Professional Dancer
Gina Ravera began her life with a resident interest in becoming an entertainer. Thus, she began years of training as a classical dancer while in her formative years. She was born on the 20th of May, 1966 in San Francisco, California to parents who were African American and Puerto Rican.
After years of training, Gina wanted to ply her trade in dancing professionally, but life had bigger plans than her dreams. Ravera, who had spent a considerable portion of her life training as a dancer, began life as an actress at the age of 24, making her first appearance in a minor role in the film, Lambada.
Since then, she has gone on to star in a plethora of films and TV shows. The reason for her 2014 hiatus remains largely unknown, however, she returned in 2018 and has continued to work ever since.
Her Busiest Years Were In The 90s
The actress was quite busy throughout the 1990s, during which she appeared in more than twenty acting projects. She landed her first on-screen role in the year 1990 as Funk Queen in the film, Lambada. In the same year, she made an appearance in the TV Show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as Cheryl.
Gina Ravera continued her upward climb as an on-screen actress through appearances in shows like Reasonable Doubts (1991), True Colors (1991), Melrose Place (1992), Days of Our Lives (1993), Frasier (1993), and Star Trek: The Next Generation (1993). She equally played the recurring role of Dr. Diana Roth in the crime drama series, Silk Stalkings from 1993-94. More so, she had roles in the TV film, White Mile, as well as TV series NYPD Blues before starring as Molly Abrams in the 1995 erotic drama film, Showgirls.

In the next year, she featured as Gina in Get on the Bus, a drama film directed by Spike Lee, which tells the story of a group of African American men, who in order to participate in Million Man March decided to take a cross-country bus trip. Between 1997 and 2000, Gina Ravera featured in Soul Food as Faith Hunter, Kiss the Girls as Naomi Cross, Malcolm & Eddie as Tracy Burke, and Rhapsody as Lenore Foxwood. She was further cast in the American crime drama series, Fugitive from 2000-01, portraying the character of Sara Gerard.
She Was More Active In The Small Screen Throughout The 2000s

Prior to taking a break from acting in the year 2014, Gina Ravera was most popular as a TV actress, having scored more roles on the small screen than the big screen. She was only credited with three feature films during such time and they include Chasing Papi (2003), Gas (2005), and The Great Debaters (2007).
Coming to the TV front, the Showgirls actress mostly landed minor roles in several TV series. She featured as Rachel Dresser in the 2002 TV movie, Saint Sinner and then moved on to appear in one episode of Miracles, Charmed, The Handler, Boston Legal, Inconceivable and Everwood. Gina was subsequently cast as Lisa Lincoln in Raines, Dawn in Private Practice, Paula in Lie to Me, Dr. Paula O'Keefe in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and Marsha Stoller in Castle.
After a long break from the acting scene, the actress made a comeback in the year 2018, when she portrayed Lydia Cassamento in three episodes of the superhero TV series, Arrow. She played the role of Claudia Flores in the 2020 TV series, Station 19.
Gina's Prominent Roles And Recognitions
The versatile actress got one of her most significant roles yet in 1999, when she was cast to play Jocelyn House in the show, Time of Your Life. She starred in 19 episodes of the show between 1999 and 2000.

In film, she got her next big role in 2007 when she was cast as Ruth Tolson in The Great Debaters, starring alongside Denzel Washington. The film which was a big success won a handful of awards and grossed over $30 million in the US alone.
Before 2007, she had in 2005 begun playing Irene Daniels in The Closer – a role that lasted till 2009. Later, in 2006, she began portraying the recurring role of Dr. Bettina DeJesus in ER; two of her best-known roles thus far in her career, with the former earning her numerous award nominations including two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, as well as NAMIC Vision Award nomination for Best Actress.
Although she only appeared in two episodes, Gina Ravera has also received ALMA Award nomination for her work on The Temptations, which she appeared in 1998 as Josephine. Over the course of her career, she has starred in over 50 movies and TV shows.
How Much The Actress Has Amassed From Her Career

With a career that has spanned over two decades and has recorded appearances in over 50 films and TV shows, it comes as no surprise that Gina Ravera has a net worth of $2 million.
The San Francisco-born actress's net worth has gotten significant contributions from appearances in her most recognized works listed above especially from The Closer, which by the third season was ad-supported cable's most-viewed scripted series of all time. Her series regular role lasted for forty-four episodes.
Intrigues Of Her Relationship Status
For a majority of the human population, getting married is still a goal that many look forward to but if the publicly available information is anything to go by, that is not a belief that Gina Ravera shares.
Since she became a member of the industry in 1990, Gina Ravera hasn't been known to be in a relationship with anyone, which is remarkable in an industry where success often means giving up your personal privacy.
If Gina Ravera has been in any relationships since she joined the industry, she has done a good job of keeping it out of the reach of the press. One thing is however certain, the ER actress is not a married woman.

View Full Version : What does a glaze layer do ?
Hi I notice in looking at many of the lovely works that are posted, that many of you talk of using a glaze layer.
I did a search on this, but even after looking at many of the postings, I still do not know exactly how it is achieved and what effect it has on your painting.
Being a beginner can someone explain this to me in simple terms.
I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I would have to assume that most people are generally talking about creating a new layer over their existing layers, which more paint can be added (because one won't find a "Glaze Layer" by name, in ArtRage). The paint added to this layer, will be changed in some manner, so that it becomes transparent, allowing the colors beneath it to show through. The manner this is handled, will often depend on the tool being used, or the effect looking to be created. For example, after adding a new layer, one could opt to dilute the paint for the Oil Brush or Watercolor tools by increasing the Thinners setting. In both cases, the paint will become more transparent (for the oil brush, this happens around the 50% mark), which will allow the colors beneath the layer to show through. Another method, is to change the blend mode of either the tool (if it allows it), or the layer itself. Certain tools, like the Ink Pen and Airbrush, have this Blend Mode option, which can be changed to make them react differently with the paint they are drawn over. For example, if you were to change the blend mode for the Ink Pen to "Multiply", you'll notice that new marks made with the tool, will not fully cover up the other marks, and will show through as a darker pigment. Alternatively, the layer itself may be set to use a blend mode of it's own, by selecting one of the blend options from the Blend Mode list, on the layers Menu panel (so, right click on the layer, select Blend Mode, and choose an option).
glaze layer is one of the many cool features of AR.
Thanks for the explanation, I understand now what is involved.
I am used to using blend modes etc in layers after many years of retouching in photoshop.

The rebuilding of Gaza has become the latest siege weapon. The Israeli occupation, the US that had backed its offensive, and the EU which did nothing to stop it are conspiring to turn the reconstruction process into a means to produce a suitable "peace partner" while the Arab summit in Kuwait hopes to use it to bring about Palestinian reconciliation. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority (PA) government is urging all parties and others to look to it as the sole channel for administering the construction process on the grounds that it is the government formed by the Palestine Liberation Organisation that is recognised as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. Soon we will see that freezing reconstruction will become the tool of all those parties for extracting from the resistance what they have been unable to gain from three weeks of warfare and the long blockade that preceded it.
Israel, the occupying power, is determined to keep a tight grip on the reconstruction process, which is why it sustained its closure of the border crossing following its "unilateral" ceasefire. Indeed, this is why it declared the ceasefire unilaterally: it did not want to be bound by any agreement — the Egyptian initiative or any other framework — that would oblige it to lift the embargo, if only partially, in order to facilitate reconstruction. Tel Aviv has also been seeking to obtain "guarantees" from international agencies such as UNWRA. On 19 January Reuters reported that Western diplomats revealed that Israel had asked the UN and other agencies to submit itemised lists of the goods, equipment and staff that they intend to send into Gaza, whether for urgent relief or for the more long-term reconstruction process. According to these sources, Israel plans to keep close tabs on these processes by insisting that the various agencies obtain its approval in advance for every project. One of the conditions for that approval will be that the project will not benefit Hamas or its government in Gaza. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has appointed Social Affairs Minister Isaac Herzog as coordinator of the Gaza reconstruction drive.
The US not only fully supports Israel on this; it is open about using the reconstruction process to help the PA reassert its authority and influence in Gaza. The EU is equally frank in its approval. EU External Relations Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner made clear that the EU would not contribute to reconstruction unless Gaza produced a viable peace partner and that it would not make aid available to a government led by Hamas. A high-level European diplomat was reported by Reuters as saying that this was "a recipe for failure". "Let's be realistic. If the PA is going to be responsible, its leadership and institutions have to exist on the ground. Right now none of that does," he said.
It is patently clear that to Tel Aviv, Washington and Brussels the assertion of PA rule over Gaza is the strongest argument for holding off reconstruction as a Damocles sword over Gaza, and for the occupying power this condition is its strongest "guarantee" for sustaining its grip on that sword. The fear now is that Israel and the international powers that have helped it to perpetuate its occupation since 1967 will use a Palestinian façade buttressed by official Arab support to stage a repeat in Gaza of the Iraq experience in the wake of the 1991 war when reconstruction and development were perpetually deferred in order to further weaken the country preparatory to toppling the regime through the invasion that took place in 2003. It may or may not be a coincidence that the Israeli invasion of Gaza ended almost on the same date that the war against Iraq started 18 years ago. Nor does it bode well for the aftermath of a "regime change" scenario in Gaza that Iraq's infrastructure today, six days after the Saddam regime was toppled, is worse than it was beforehand.
The attempt to engineer such a scenario can be seen in PA President Mahmoud Abbas's appeal to the Arab summit last week to channel the reconstruction process through the PA and its institutions, an appeal echoed by World Bank President Robert Zoellick who met with Abbas on the fringes of the summit in Kuwait. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and other Western leaders had proposed creating a temporary international committee to oversee the funding and organisation of the reconstruction effort. However, Abbas and his supporters rejected such a mechanism on the grounds that "it presumes that the separation between Gaza and the West Bank will continue," as acting PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad put it, adding that international donors who are eager to reconstruct Gaza "will risk deepening the Palestinian division by ignoring the role of the PA".
The PA's stance, if followed, would condemn Arab pledges made in Kuwait — as well as any pledges made in a possible international conference on the reconstruction of Gaza called for by Egypt, the PA and the EU president — to remain pending until such time as a "viable peace partner" secures a steady seat in Gaza.
Of course this procrastination through delegating makes the pledge to reconstruct Gaza barely worth the paper it was written on and will probably consign it to the same oblivion fated for so many other Arab summit resolutions. One of those forgotten resolutions was that adopted by the emergency Arab summit in Cairo in October 2000 calling for the creation of an Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem Fund for the purpose of reconstructing Palestinian infrastructure, especially in the sectors of healthcare, education, agriculture and housing. Apparently Arab leaders in Kuwait did not wish to recall that that resolution did not restrict the distribution of funds through the channel of the PA but also provided for other channels such as UNWRA, the Egyptian and Qatari Red Crescents, the Jordanian Royal Philanthropic Organisation, the UN Arab Gulf Programme and other such regional and international humanitarian agencies. Perhaps, too, they did not want to remind anyone that when that earlier resolution was passed there was no "Hamas problem" behind which are hiding those who do not really want to reconstruct the occupied territories, whether in Gaza or in the West Bank.
The Israeli list of "prohibited materials" even before its offensive includes such items as iron, steel and cement, which are now absolutely vital to reconstruction. UN Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes pointed out this self-evident truth in a statement last Tuesday saying that if Israel refuses to allow in construction materials reconstruction cannot begin.
Kuwait, for one, acted correctly when instead of waiting for the Arab summit to reach an agreement it donated $34 million directly to UNRWA. Similarly, Norway donated 20 million kroner to organisations capable of reaching civilians directly in Gaza, such as the International Red Cross. Such noble examples confirm the existence of practical, serious channels for meeting urgent humanitarian needs. These should not be made pawn to the demand for the arrival of a Palestinian "peace partner" to Gaza, contrary to the insistence of PA Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki in Kuwait that everything had to be coordinated with the PA "in all fields" before beginning the relief and reconstruction process. If that demand is met, nothing could be more guaranteed to subject the reconstruction process to the whims of the occupying power and turn it into another way to besiege Gaza in order to bring it to its knees.


Looking for really good drinking water could be as convenient as turning on your own kitchen faucet. If you want to have that, a reverse osmosis system in Baltimore MD can accommodate that for you. Good drinking water is merely that good! It not only tastes far better than municipality administered water, it's even far better for you. The real benefits of having reverse osmosis drinking water goes on and on. Keep reading through if you're trying to find an at home reverse osmosis system in Baltimore MD.
Reverse osmosis is absolutely nothing brand-new. A reverse osmosis system, additionally known as Ultra-Filtration by the industry, represents cutting edge in water treatment innovation. Reverse Osmosis (RO) was developed in the late 1950's under U.S. Government financing, as an approach of desalinating sea water, in other words it was a means to filter salt out of salt water. Today, reverse osmosis has actually made it's name as one of the most practical and comprehensive approach to filter water. It is made use of by the majority of water bottling plants, and also by lots of industries that require ultra-refined water in production. Currently this sophisticated innovation is offered to houses and also workplaces for drinking water purification. Reverse osmosis water is the very best high quality water you can have.
It is an effective mechanical water treatment procedure for minimizing 95 % to 99 % of the dissolved mineral salts, organics and also particles by forcing the water, under pressure, through a semi-permeable membrane layer. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is the regular usage for reverse osmosis along with pre-treatment for Deionization.
Reverse osmosis systems utilize pressure to push water through tiny pores, to create "distilled water." At the same time, chemicals, microorganisms, as well as minerals are filtered through various membrane layers and also carbon filters.
The procedure removes several impurities from water, consisting of dissolved solids, lead, nitrate, salt and sulfate. Based on customer information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a reverse osmosis water filter removes disease-causing microorganisms as well as the majority of chemical impurities. According to North Dakota State University, it can be made use of along with other filtering system phases, such as activated carbon, to decrease the level of pesticides, dioxins and unstable natural substances.
A reverse osmosis water system will certainly alleviate various water quality problems. The system aids with water impurities, cloudy water, bad tastes or odors, in addition to lower the expenses connected with buying bottled water.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a proven innovation with new applications for various industries. United States Water Services' representatives take pride in themselves on having comprehensive knowledge of RO water system device installation, operations, addressing and cleansing procedures.
The system produces energy, gets rid of waste-water and recycles liquids. This system is used in residential and industrial filtration. The procedure desalinates water and transforms salt water right into drinking water. As an example, the pressure pushes water particles through the membrane layer, yet the salt fragments are too large to fit through the filtration, and this results in drinkable water on the other side.
Reverse Osmosis drinking water treatment usually have pre-filters, which you might wish to change before flushing the RO System. Nonetheless the actual Reverse Osmosis membrane component should not require replacement. If the supplier of the membrane layer recommends that you change this component of the system you ought to ask them to provide you the specific reasons why.
It does create a great deal of waste water. 1 gallon of filtered water to 5 gallons of waste water is not good at all. But if you run your waste water to a storage tank and use it to water the lawn and garden and utilize it to clean your car and the house it doesn't need to all go directly to the drain. Some individuals also might drink the waste water as it has been through many stages of purification and is a lot far better then faucet water. Nevertheless the mineral content will be higher then tap water. Minerals aren't all bad. Your body can use a few of the minerals in the waste water. However understand that the waste water is not suggested for drinking as it can trigger some gastrointestinal concerns.
A reverse osmosis device will need replacement of its membrane layer. Additionally, it could have pre- and post-filters in the system to eliminate debris and other unwanted contaminants. These filters will certainly have to be changed depending just how much water flows through the system.
A great reverse osmosis water filter system ensures that you have accessibility to clean, clear and wonderful tasting drinking water at all times. However exactly what makes a good reverse osmosis water filter system and just what does the most effective reverse osmosis system have in share? It generally comes down to water purity level, great taste and also fast access.
Install a whole house reverse osmosis system to purify your faucet water into healthy water. A great home water filtration system will eliminate heavy metals like lead and mercury along with herbicides, pesticides and also industrial solvents (yikes) that make their way right into your drinking water. This is the most costly thing to do, however is so worth it. I was a little skeptical when I set up ours and also was skeptical that it was substantially far better compared to our Brita filter (it is). We installed it ourselves, it was extremely easy to install and a year later, I do not understand exactly how I've lived without one for so long!
Clearly, the systems vary. Check with the supplier to see what filters it includes and just what is eliminated throughout the procedure. Likewise examine just how much water is removed as "waste" for every gallon that is generated for you to drink.
A system with less stages like 3 or four stages is much less trustworthy and stable. It calls for constant filter changes (every 4 to 5 months), giving you more issues. A good-quality 5-stage reverse system has filters that last up to 9 to 12 months. It also provides better-quality and better-tasting water. A 5-stage system saves you time and also cash in the long run. Choose a system that has three pre-filters, 2 carbon blocks and also a sediment filter.
Choose a system that is made of outstanding high quality components, particularly certified made in the United States Try to find excellent workmanship, such as clean neat line connections and the system fits perfectly on a sturdy framework. Excellent top quality materials and craftsmanship are the secrets of an efficient and lasting reverse osmosis water drinking system. Bear in mind select a 5-stage reverse osmosis system.
The procedure leads to 2 streams – permeate and concentrate. For safe and clean water production, permeate is the water that is used for drinking, and the concentrate is disposed. Reverse osmosis treatment systems come in a range of sizes from the 25 million-gallon-per-day center in Gibsonton, Fla., to small residence units that can generate 12 to 15 gallons per day.

Why Military Bases Have Proved Vulnerable to Mass Shootings
Florida State Troopers block traffic over the Bayou Grande Bridge leading to the Pensacola Naval Air Station following a shooting on Dec. 06, 2019 in Pensacola, Florida. The second shooting on a U.S. Naval Base in a week has left three dead plus the suspect and seven people wounded.
By Josiah Bates
Two fatal shootings in one week at military installations in the United States have led to questions regarding the security measures in place at military bases across the country.
The latest shooting happened on Friday at a Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. Three people were killed, and many more wounded, after a gunman opened fire in a classroom on the base. It was the second shooting a military base in three days; on Wednesday, a shooting at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii left two people dead and a third wounded.
The two shootings — and others, including a mass shooting in 2009 at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas that claimed 13 lives — show that military bases are vulnerable to armed attackers in similar ways to other sites targeted by shooters, such as schools, movie theaters and workplaces.
Alexander Deguzman, a retired Air Force Staff Sergeant, says that living on a military base is like living in an enclosed city. Despite public perception, people on military bases are no more armed than other parts of the country. Most of the people on military bases are not carrying armed weapons.
"You have grocery stores, schools, houses and places where people go to work. The only people that have armed weapons are designated personnel [like military police]," Deguzman tells TIME. "Life on a base is really like [life in] a normal city, just gated."
Military leaders acknowledge that protecting military installations — and the people who work there — from mass shootings is a major undertaking. Deguzman, who now works as a real estate in Los Angeles, was responsible for identifying security solutions and gaps on military installations when he served.
[An] active shooter is something that is very in the front of our minds," Capt. Tim Kinsella, the commanding officer at the Pensacola station, said at a press conference on Friday. According to Capt. Kinsella, guns were banned in the facility where the shooting happened. (As of Friday afternoon, officials at the base have not released any information about how the shooter was able to bring a firearm into the classroom.)
The 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting is considered to be the deadliest shooting to occur on a military base. 13 people were killed, while another 30 were left injured. Five years later ,another shooting happened at the Fort Hood base, when a gunman went on a shooting spree killing three people and injuring 14. The shooter then killed himself.
In 2013, 12 workers at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. were killed by a military contractor, who was later killed by security officials. And in 2015, two military installations in Chattanooga, Tenn., were attacked by a gunman who killed four people before he was shot by police.
Capt. Kinsella said that military personnel and civilians at the Pensacola base train regularly to prepare for potential shootings. "Security is ever-changing and ever-evolving…we look at lessons learned from this and if necessary we will [make changes]," Kinsella said at the press conference. "I'm very very proud of the response of my security department…I think it could have been a lot lot worse."
He did not offer any specific details regarding the base's security plans.
Deguzman adds that the military needs to continue to educate the public and their own personnel on warning signs that could prevent mass shootings from happening.
"The military has always been dialed-in, and systematic in how they respond to these types of incidents," Deguzman says. "Everybody needs to be aware of what's going on around them so the signs can be identified beforehand."

Trump Administration's New Food Stamp Rule: What to Know

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


Most times, when I visit HomeDepot I have some jobs to be done at the house. I've considered bringing with me some of the lads outside, but I've never done it. Several reasons really: I don't know them. They don't speak English and my Spanish is not great. I can't tell if they have any skills or if it will just be more work managing them than doing it myself. Also, I don't enjoy negotiating with people that speak a different language.
I can easily imagine that most women would not bring workers to their home because they don't feel comfortable with the idea of inviting these unknown men without identites to their house. How many women would take the help if it was offered by someone they could trust? How big is this market? How big could it be?
What are your thoughts on this? Can the current status be disrupted?


If you have recently been experiencing aching, cramping, or even pain in your legs, there is a chance that you may be in need of a treatment.
The earlier the treatment often prevents the symptoms developing and, of course, removes the appearance. In fact, the earlier you receive specialist treatment the better the long-term clinical and cosmetic results.
What are 'Varicose Veins' and What Causes Them?
In some cases, these microscopically sized valves can begin to underperform if they become weaker, which results in blood leaking back into the veins and collecting there. This in turn results in veins becoming wider as the pressure builds up, which in some severe cases can cause the veins to become twisted and much, much weaker. This condition of the veins is known as Varicose, hence Varicose Veins.
As well as aging-induced deterioration, those who spend most of their day standing or on their feet (teachers, hairdressers, retail workers etc) and people who are overweight are also susceptible.
Symptoms can include painful aches as well as veins becoming visually distorted or especially prominent below the skin.
In some mild cases, the symptoms and inherent issues that follow can be prevented with a simple support stocking, although there must also be some form of secondary treatment to ensure that problems are kept at bay. Some of these treatments can include 'tying off' affected veins, or even removing the distorted veins entirely. Obviously, these procedures are very invasive and always have an inherent risk of complications.
Spencer Private Hospitals will access each case individually and may recommend a form of Laser treatment, as not only is this less invasive, and can result in less post-operative pain and inflammation that typically goes hand-in-hand with traditional surgery. There is also a comprehensive aftercare program for those who undergo the procedure.
Stay active – Keeping your legs active during the day can relieve pressure in your varicose veins and improve circulation. Low impact exercise like swimming and walking will work your calf muscles.
Stay cool – Increased heat can dilate your veins and cause pain, increased aching and tenderness. Wear loose clothing in breathable cotton whenever possible.
Keep legs elevated – When sitting for long periods, keep your feet elevated using a box/stool. If you are at home you can also lie down and prop your feet up with pillows.
Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water and other fluids throughout the day. This will cool you down and improve your circulation.

Blockchain technology is a new concept to understand, and its rapidly growing in every industry. In future technology virtual currency is the next stage of evolution of money.
The words block and chain were used separately in Satoshi Nakamoto's original paper in October 2008, and when the term moved into wider use it was originally block chain, before becoming a single word, blockchain, by 2016. In August 2014, the bitcoin blockchain file size reached 20 gigabytes in size.
Blockchain technology have already placed in few countries. Funding and registration in the transport department in Australia. Real Estate department is growing fast by using BlockChain Technology in Dubai. Whereas Internal bank payments using BlockChain Technology in Singapore.
Bitcoin is a Cryptocurrency and a payment system invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, and released as open-source software in 2009. Currently Banks, Credit Cards are charging 7-10% average fee of transaction. But this is the benefit with Bitcoin Users get direct payment from anyone and anywhere in the world.
As we know about Bitcoin is a Virtual currency and it soon to be include transfer of property and identity management. The public and private sectors will face new challenges, opportunities and responsibilities. Government sector is also coperation with Bitcoin technology to create innovative product and services.
Identity management is also the tranform in Blockchain technology. As we known there are many identities and documents were stolen in past years.
Tax Identification Number and more..
The Blockchain is a public ledger that records (providing ownership and time stamp) and validates every transaction made worldwide.
What makes this network unique and secure is that all transactions are authorized and backed by thousands of computers (called miners), achieving consensus on each transaction.
No one owns it (hence the term "decentralized"), and therefore it's immutable and there's no single point of attack for those attempting to "hack" or otherwise alter the records on the Blockchain registry.
The technology enables peer to peer (P2P) transaction capabilities without any involvement of a central authority or a third party.
In our bank system we only know our own account transactions and cash balances, on the blockchain everyone can see the transactions happening all over the globe.
The blockchain system is designed in encrypted code. If you place the wrong address while transaction then there is no way to get the refund of your sent amount.
For Example: 1Mu89jjku........ if you forget a '1' digit number in sending address then your sending amount will be lost and will not be received by the end user.

To easily and correctly measure for a walking stick, it's best to ask someone to help you.
We've detailed the method used by many physiotherapists below.
However, if you are unsure, please seek medical advice from your doctor or occupational therapist.
The walking stick user needs to stand upright in the shoes they usually wear for walking, with their arms hanging naturally by their sides.
Position the stick next to the user, making a small mark on the shaft of the stick, level with the bump at the bottom of the wrist bone.
This will ensure that the user's arm will be slightly bent when they hold the walking stick.
Whether you're choosing an adjustable or non-adjustable walking stick, the user's arm should be slightly bent at the elbow when they hold the handle, and their shoulders should be level.
For wooden walking sticks, use a small hacksaw to cut the stick to size. Remove the rubber ferrule from the discarded section of the stick and fit it back onto the resized stick.
Most height adjustable walking sticks have a spring-loaded ball button push mechanism to adjust the height of the stick, usually in one-inch increments.
Simply adjust the stick height accordingly by pushing the small button on the length of the stick, and slide the inner shaft up or down to the right length, letting the button release into the correct hole.
Top Tip: A stick that is too long will force the shoulder unnaturally high. A stick that is too short will force the user to stoop.
If you want to purchase a stick online, or any other form of mobility aid, and therefore can't use the actual walking stick to work out the size you need, simply measure the distance from the wrist bone to the floor using a tape measure.
The process is the same as measuring using the actual walking stick as a guide. The user should ensure they are standing correctly, i.e. standing upright, in the type of shoes they usually wear, with their arms hanging naturally by their sides.
We stock an extensive range of walking sticks at Ability Superstore and we're constantly adding new suppliers!

Q: Check with C# if Forms Authentication is Enabled in IIS I'm building a tool to be used "in-house" for installation purposes.
It's purpose is to get settings from an xml file (such as Authentication) and apply it on IIS.
Is there a way to check if the Authentication is currently set to forms?
Couldn't find a way to achieve it, just many examples which sets the corresponding XML nodes in the configuration files to enable authentication of the desired type.
Any answer would be appreciated.

A: You can use XPath XML queries against config files to look for the <authentication> tag and retrieve its mode attribute value.  Better yet, use some existing scripted capability for this.  There are Powershell commandlets for IIS.  Take a look at the Get-WebConfiguration cmdlet as discussed here.  It even has XPath capabilities.
If you want to roll your own XPath query, it would look something like
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.load("PATH TO A CONFIG FILE HERE");
XmlNode authenticationNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("//system.web/authentication");
//Value of attribute is at
var authenticationMode = authenticationNode.Attributes["mode"].Value;

However this approach does not deal with the fact that IIS composites config files from higher level directories  with lower level ones--this just reads on particular file.  So you'd have to add some logic to see what authentication is truly in effect at a given folder level.
A better way might be to do reflection on the AppDomain of your web application, read the config that way and then check the value.
Or you try this from MSDN documentation

EAST BOSTON, Mass. – Sophomore Will Hopkins (Old Rochester, Mass.) hit an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning to snap a 3-3 tie Thursday evening, and top-seeded Suffolk University held on for a 4-3 victory over fourth-seeded Lasell College in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) baseball tournament game at East Boston Memorial Field.
Both teams will play again on Saturday, May 4, at Fraser Field in Lynn, Mass. The Lasers (23-16) will play an elimination game at 10 a.m. against third-seeded Johnson and Wales University (24-14) as the Wildcats were defeated by second-seeded Saint Joseph's College of Maine on Thursday, 4-3. Suffolk (23-16-1) will meet St. Joe's (30-9) at 1:30 p.m. in a semifinal contest.
The Lasers had tied the game in the top of the seventh inning when senior Andre Marchesseault (Conn.) tripled and scored on another triple by classmate Brett Sherron (Howard Beach, N.Y.), but Sherron was stranded at third to end the inning. Lasell put a runner in scoring position in the eighth inning on a pair of two-out walks, but couldn't push the tying run across.
Lasell took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when senior Evan Michalek (Berlin, Conn.) walked to lead off and classmates David Marsell (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) and Marchesseault followed with back to back doubles, with two runs coming home on Marchesseault's two-bagger down the left field line.
Suffolk scored one run in the bottom of the first on a bases-loaded walk by sophomore Rich Giandrea (Audubon, N.J.), and tied the score in the last of the third on Giandrea's RBI single. The Rams pulled ahead 3-2 in the fourth inning on a squeeze bunt by senior Connor Troio (Shrewsbury, Mass.). It stayed that way until the pivotal seventh inning.
Senior Charles Batchelder (Shrewsbury, Mass.) earned the win (5-1) with one inning of relief for Suffolk, despite giving up a run in the top of the seventh. Sophomore Parker Browne (Shrewsbury, Mass.) earned his second save with two scoreless innings, retiring the Lasers in order in the ninth.
Junior Zach Handzel (Palmer, Mass.) took the loss (4-4), giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits and seven walks in 6.2 innings, striking out two. Sophomore Sean Doris (Lincoln, R.I.) pitched an inning and a third without giving up a hit, fanning two.
Marchesseault finished with three hits for Lasell, finishing a home run shy of hitting for the cycle, and sophomore Wyatt Sihvonen (Lebanon, Conn.) had a pair of hits, including a double.

NH Primary Source: NHGOP highlighting 'Today's Tax' supported by Molly Kelly
Updated: 4:59 AM EDT Sep 20, 2018
John DiStaso
Political Reporter
New Hampshire Primary Source
'TODAY'S TAX.' While Democrats are taking Chris Sununu and his fellow Republican top-of-the-ticket candidates to task on the controversy surrounding U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the state Republican Party is focusing a familiar topic -- taxes and fees -- when it comes to gubernatorial challenger Molly Kelly.The NHGOP earlier this week began rolling out daily "reports" of taxes and fees Kelly voted to increase as a state senator. The party said it will continue to point out a different tax and fee hike through the Nov. 6 election.The NHGOP first hit Kelly for voting in June 2009 in favor of a state budget for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 that included a hike in the state rooms and meals tax from 8 percent to 9 percent. Democrats held a 13-11 majority in the Senate at the time, and the vote was strictly along party lines.The party followed up Tuesday by citing Kelly's vote in favor of companion legislation to the same budget that included an increase of in the state fee for vanity license plates from $25 to $40. Vanity plates are optional, of course, but at the time the fee was hiked, 14 percent of Granite Staters reportedly had them.A Democratic Kelly supporter pointed out that the two fees were raised in the midst of the recession. Her campaign declined to comment.But NHGOP Chairman Wayne MacDonald said, "The contrast between Sen. Kelly and Gov. Sununu could not be more clear. While Gov. Sununu passed a balanced budget without raising taxes or fees, tax-and-spend liberal Molly Kelly took every opportunity to raise taxes on the backs of hardworking Granite Staters."

But NHGOP Chairman Wayne MacDonald said, "The contrast between Sen. Kelly and Gov. Sununu could not be more clear. While Gov. Sununu passed a balanced budget without raising taxes or fees, tax-and-spend liberal Molly Kelly took every opportunity to raise taxes on the backs of hardworking Granite Staters."

Q: Estimation of the tail of a weighted probability distribution Let $\rho:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R_+$ be a density function with finite first moment, i.e.
$$\int_{\mathbb R^d}~ \rho(x)dx\quad = \quad 1,\quad\quad\quad  \int_{\mathbb R^d}~ |x|\rho(x)dx\quad < \quad +\infty.$$
For each $q=(q_1,\ldots, q_d)\in \mathbb Z^d$, let $V_q\subset \mathbb R^d$ be defined by $V_q:= \Pi_{i=1}^d~ \left[q_i, q_i+1\right)$. My question is that, under what conditions on $\rho$, one has an estimation on the tail given by
$$\sum_{q:~ |q|\ge n}~ |q| \rho(q) \lambda(V_q),\quad \quad \quad (\ast)$$
where $|q|:=\sum_{i=1}^d q_i$ and $\lambda(V_q)$ denotes the Lebesgue measures of $V_q$. Thanks a lot!
PS: Indeed, the objective is to estimate the following term:
$$\sum_{q\in\mathbb Z^d}\int_{V_q}~ \big(|x|\rho(x)-|q|\rho(q)\big)dx.$$
Clearly a necessary condition is to assume that $\rho$ is continuous. However, to ensure the asymptotic behaviour for large $|q|$, the estimation of $(\ast)$ is needed.

Q: Range array data by field I have a database with fields day and prices(image below)

I want to make a result something like :
day | price
1-3 | 5
4   | 6
7-8 | 10
13+ | 20
I think making (giving these job to sql) it will be hard for database (I'm speaking about speed)
Database result:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [day] => 1
            [price] => 5
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [day] => 2
            [price] => 5
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3
            [day] => 3
            [price] => 5
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [id] => 4
            [day] => 4
            [price] => 6
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [id] => 7
            [day] => 7
            [price] => 10
        )

    [5] => Array
        (
            [id] => 8
            [day] => 8
            [price] => 10
        )

    [6] => Array
        (
            [id] => 9
            [day] => 13
            [price] => 20
        )

)

Now I am thinking about loop an array but do not have an idea how to solve these problem

A: Your issue can be resolved with single loop:
$array = [
   ['id'=>2, 'day'=>2, 'price'=>5],
   ['id'=>5, 'day'=>3, 'price'=>7],
   ['id'=>7, 'day'=>8, 'price'=>8],
   ['id'=>6, 'day'=>4, 'price'=>5],
   ['id'=>1, 'day'=>1, 'price'=>5],
   ['id'=>9, 'day'=>9, 'price'=>8],
   ['id'=>11, 'day'=>13, 'price'=>10],
   ['id'=>15, 'day'=>12, 'price'=>10]
];
//sort by day. You can skip this if perform ORDER BY `day` in DBMS
usort($array, function($x, $y)
{
   return $x['day']-$y['day'];
});

$price  = current($array)['price'];
$min    = current($array)['day'];
$max    = $min;
$result = [];

foreach($array as $i=>$item)
{
   if($price!=$item['price'])
   {
      $result[] = ['day' => $min==$max?$min:$min.'-'.$max, 'price'=>$price];
      $min = $item['day'];
      $max = $min;
   }
   else
   {
      $max = $item['day'];
   }
   $price = $item['price'];
}
$result[] = ['day' => $min.'+', 'price'=> $price];

end result will look like this:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [day] => 1-2
            [price] => 5
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [day] => 3
            [price] => 7
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [day] => 4
            [price] => 5
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [day] => 8-9
            [price] => 8
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [day] => 12+
            [price] => 10
        )

Hello Gisle, I accidentally upgraded to HTTP::Message 6.03 and now the urlencoding is suddenly broken for special binary uploads. Rolling back to version 6.02 repairs all the problems. But the new version is corrupting too much!
I found the problem. HTTP/Request/Common.pm:85: # HTML/4.01 says that line breaks are represented as "CR LF" pairs (i.e., `%0D%0A') HTTP/Request/Common.pm:86: $content =~ s/(?<!%0D)%0A/%0D%0A/g; That's a nifty little negative lookbehind substitution, but "%0A" is not a newline. In fact, it all three characters fit on one line. And modifying already-encoded binary data isn't being helpful at all.
Here is the patch we are using in production that corrects the problem.
Since the new behaviour is to encode "\n" as "\r\n" for application/x−www−form−urlencoded parts this is clearly not transparant if you try to pass through binary data. I can see that. The new behaviour only make sense to text content (where you emulate an HTML form). I don't know what you mean by RFC Violation. The patch that introduced this behaviour claimed the the old behaviour conflicted with the HTTP RFC. What RFC do you claim say otherwise? Binary parts would normally be handled by using the multipart/form−data format instead. Your patch is broken. It breaks the test suite and works for you simply be effectively disabling the statement it affects. Thus reverting to the old behaviour. I think it ought to be possible use this interface and get transparent binary encoding as well. Not quite sure how yet.
Gisle, Thank you for your response! I understand that HTTP RFC 2068 suggests that CRLF be used across the wire to fully comply. And I believe it might even be appropriate to convert multipart/form−data fields (that happen to be text/*) to CRLF format so that everything across the raw transport is standard. But there is nothing in RFC 1738 that suggests you can inject extra characters during the encoding process for application/x−www−form−urlencoded data. And "%0A" is just three digits in plain text without any special characters so should be safe across the wire as is, thus the violation referred to in my report. However, I have seen SOME real browsers such as IE encode textarea inputs with forced CRLF prior to encoding, which I believe your 6.03 will help emulate this behavior. I'm not sure what any RFC states about that or where that idea even comes from or if that is even proper or not. And if this behavior I've seen is proper, then yes, my patch would break that. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to tell LWP::UserAgent or HTTP::Request when I know that my content is not text and should not be corrupted in this case. I just know that everything used to work fine for years posting binary inputs, and suddenly after upgrading to 6.03 it is broken. I guess I can double URL encode it on the client end and then double decode it on the server end to workaround any encoding issues with HTTP::Request, but that would require changes on both ends and doesn't provide a slow migration path very easily. I'm just not sure what the best solution is. And which RFC are you claiming that the OLD behavior does not comply? Or do you have any other suggestions?
This has caused a module of mine to malfunction under some circumstances. We calculate an md5 of the text we're sending to the server to ensure it isn't harmed in transit. Well, with 6.03 it is - the text the server receives no longer matches the md5. I've attached a transcript of a shell session showing how I determined that this release is responsible. I don't know whether an RFC is violated, but I do know this change is causing problems.
Looking at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616- sec14.html#sec14.15 I see: "Conversion of all line breaks to CRLF MUST NOT be done" in reference to calculating a Content-MD5 header, which suggested to me that messing with my line endings was probably a bad idea. Then, I saw: "HTTP allows transmission of text types with any of several line break conventions and not just the canonical form using CRLF." which prompted me to look at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616- sec3.html#sec3.7.1 which is more explicit. I'm certainly an amateur at reading RFCs, but it looks like you're not required to convert text types in the body to CRLF. If that's the case, please consider reverting this change.
Plus one to reverting conversion. Not only prepending every 0A with 0D completely breaks binary data, it is also not clear that "x-www-form-urlencoded" content-type is not suited for it, as many cache servers and existing communications depend on it. Actually, any silent alteration (and this is alteration, not some sort of transfer-encoding - server gets data different from what was sent by client) of user data seems very unnatural to me, not to mention breaking compatibility with previous versions. Issue warning (it is at most; I'm not sure that you got whole idea right).

More unpaid debts for the deadbeat defaulting Democrat
By Michelle Malkin • June 9, 2008 03:19 PM
Didn't want this one to get lost over the weekend. Our favorite deadbeat, defaulting Democrat Rep. Laura Richardson's unpaid bill total keeps mounting. Paying your home loans, campaign bills, copier bils, and car bills is for suckas.
I remind you again that this woman cruised to an easy, breezy primary victory last week.
From the Congress you deserve, via the Long Beach Press-Telegram and CQPolitics:
A mechanic and a body shop told the newspaper that she stiffed them in 2005. And afterward, she "began using a city-owned vehicle — putting almost 31,000 miles on it in about a year — and continued driving the car five days after she had left the council to serve in the state Assembly," the Press-Telegram reports, citing city records. "Last month, it was reported that Richardson's Sacramento home, where she had lived during her brief Assembly stint before moving on to Congress, had fallen into foreclosure and been sold at auction," according to the paper. "Further investigation revealed she had defaulted on that house and two others in Long Beach and San Pedro a total of eight times since 2004." Richardson is unchallenged in her bid to retain her 37th District seat.

Miami's Main Federal Prison Again Cited for Mold Outbreaks
Mold growing in a vent at the Federal Correctional Institution Miami, the largest federal prison in Miami-Dade County.
Jerry Iannelli | December 26, 2019 | 8:00am
While typical Floridians spent their holiday weeks cooking meals, welcoming family members from out of town, and finding various ways to make merry, the people inside Miami's main federal prison — inmates and workers alike — remain trapped in a mold-infested hell.
In September, New Times obtained photos showing black mold growing inside the Federal Correctional Institution Miami (FCI Miami), the largest federal prison in Miami-Dade County. Critics were horrified, and members of the correctional officers' union that represents workers at the facility said the mold was making people inside the facility sick.
Now, according to documents obtained by New Times, the federal government has officially cited the prison for mold, and not for the first time.
Miami Prisoners Moved Out of Solitary After AC Fails Amid Heat Wave
Photos Show Mold, Mildew Infecting Miami's Main Federal Prison
October 29, 2018, inspectors from the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) said they toured the compound and found mold growing in two areas. OSHA inspectors spotted "visible mold on the ceiling where employees are assigned to perform work duties" in the Everglades and Coral wings of the compound. The documents note that FCI Miami was previously cited for the same violations twice in 2018. (This past October, McClatchy's Washington, D.C., bureau reported that the Federal Bureau of Prisons [BOP] has failed to prevent dangerous mold from growing in multiple facilities and that OSHA has struggled to force the BOP to fix itself.)
By all accounts, FCI Miami appears to be a rotting mess of a place to work. In 2017, during Hurricane Irma, the BOP did not evacuate the facility and instead shipped in extra correctional officers from other areas across the United States. Those officers say they were trapped in rotting, mold-infested, leaky rooms covered in leftover feces and vomit from prisoners. The workers say they were barely fed while they waited out the storm and that the power failed overnight.
Mold has been a persistent issue at the prison. This past September 7, the correctional officers' union — the American Federation of Government Employees Local 506 — filed a formal complaint with OSHA claiming "employees are being exposed to upper respiratory illnesses from alleged mold exposure." The union said that it documented mold in at least seven buildings in the facility and that workers and inmates alike were falling ill. Mold even infected the prison's health-services wing.
"The agency doesn't care about inmates, staff, or public safety — their main priority is to save money," union president Kareen Troitino said at the time. "The higher the cost savings, the higher bonuses are awarded to the agency's higher-end executives."
At the time, BOP representatives said they were "looking into" the latest round of mold complaints at FCI Miami. But now they don't have to — federal inspectors appear to have done the work for them.

MEP Laurence Farreng: European Union recognition of esports a 'big step'
Photo credits: © European Union 2022 – Source: EP
In November, the European Parliament passed a landmark resolution recognizing the value of the European esports and video games industry. The report recommended a long-term strategy for the European Union to support and fund both sectors.
The initiative, passed with a convincing 92% yes vote, was backed by Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Laurence Farreng, a French politician from the Renew Europe Group.
It was inevitable that esports would eventually attract the attention of the authorities who wanted to support, fund and regulate it – in fact, many would argue that attention is long overdue. However, in an interview with Esports Insider, Farreng said that it was primarily the COVID-19 pandemic that drew her and her committee's attention to esports and gaming.
"We have decided to draft a resolution on the recovery of the cultural sector and have asked for special funding in the recovery plan for these industries. And that's when I realized the video game sector is so huge and so important," she said.

As he approached the subject, Farreng saw the need for policies, programs and incentives at a European level. In her opinion, the Creative Europe program – an EU initiative that offers funding for the audiovisual industry – was insufficient as it largely focused on other cultural sectors such as literature, films and arts. Esports and gaming needed their own funding. But to get them, they would have to be defined first.
"A very positive point [of the report] is that we have disclosed what the sector is," Farreng explained. "[We] weighing its specificities, the need to take it into account better with specific programmes, specific funding, to defend its specificity because it is based on intellectual property and we have to protect European intellectual property and cultural assets."
Protecting intellectual property (IP) rights – which the EU has declared as one of the crucial differences between esports and sport – is a crucial point for publishers when it comes to regulation.
According to the Interactive Software Federation of Europe (ISFE), the representative body of the video game industry, eSports is based on intellectual property made possible by a significant upfront investment by video game publishers and developers, and the rules of video games are constantly being modified and adapted by their developers Publisher.
As a French MP, Farreng has the support of President Emmanuel Macron, who has become an active voice in favor of sport in recent years. She was present at an event at the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the President of the French Republic, to which major French esports players such as Team Vitality and Karmine Corp were invited.
The growing political attention to the sector can be attributed, at least in part, to the economic potential that eSports events bring to host cities. When BLAST decided to bring the upcoming CS:GO Major to Paris, President Macron himself made the announcement.
Farreng believes that earmarked legislation can amplify this economic potential. The MEP stressed the intention to allocate funds to venues and other structures to support the development of the scene, as well as to invest in infrastructure that will make European cities more attractive to host events.
The resolution is comprehensive in its attempt to make Europe attractive. Amidst a series of proposals, a priority was identified as the need to improve visa procedures and working conditions in esports given the international nature of the sector. The November resolution proposed the creation of a wide-ranging visa for all esports participants and staff, based on existing Schengen visas for culture and sports.
dr Nepomuk Nothelfer, a legal scholar commissioned to produce the report on esports for the EU, also shared his insights: "Esports are inherently digital, and as the internet knows no national borders, the industry is inherently international.
"Their international nature has significant implications for almost every aspect of the sector, such as team communication, cultural differences in ecosystem building, immigration and employment, and contracting. It is therefore important to address many challenges at a supranational level."
The wide margin by which the resolution passed Parliament demonstrates the appetite across Europe for new legislation, Farreng said, leading the 560 yes votes as a result of cross-party cooperation. However, one of the issues raised by Farreng and the resolution is the promotion of European values of inclusion and equality – which has proved more controversial for far-right groups.
"Of course we always have the same problem with the extreme right," she said. "They say the aim of our report is to influence youth with European values and 'alertness'."
However, Farreng said that even some of the more reluctant groups had changed their minds and paved the way for embedding a values-based approach in European eSports strategy: "I think it was very difficult to vote against because for those who want it read, you can't disagree with the concerns of so many creative industry companies and youth."
Despite all the progress it signals, there is still a lot to be done – after all, the resolution is only a recommendation. How the guidelines will be implemented has yet to be decided. "The first success was this report," commented Farreng. "The second was having this very big vote. During the process we had a debate on video games in the European Parliament, so that was a big step."

$35M provided for Delaware River dredging
President Barack Obama's new budget contains $35 million for continued deepening of the Delaware River's shipping channel, the Army Corps of Engineers said this week.
The cash infusion, combined with $20 million for the current fiscal year, is expected to fund dredging operations in the river between Camden and Philadelphia, as well as near the mouth of Delaware Bay, corps spokesman Ed Voigt said.
Work in those areas should begin in the fall.
The overall project, set for completion in 2017, will deepen the 102.5-mile shipping channel from 40 to 45 feet. Officials have said about 60 percent of the channel is now at the desired depth.
New Jersey officials and environmentalists fought in vain to block the project, saying they feared dredge deposits would cause environmental problems at dump sites along the state's waterfront. But elected leaders in Pennsylvania and Delaware joined port operators in arguing that dredging would create jobs and help the shipping business.
Three U.S. senators — Democrats Tom Carper and Chris Coons, both of Delaware, and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania — praised this week's announcement as "the highest level of funding this project has received in any administration budget."
They said the deeper channel will accommodate larger ships expected to reach this area after the Panama Canal is expanded in 2015.
The federal government is funding most of the $300 million project, which awarded its first contract in 2010. About a third of the cost is being covered by the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, which gets its money from Pennsylvania.
Voigt said the corps this spring will advertise for firms to dredge a 2½-mile stretch between the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin bridges. The agency also plans to dredge a 15-mile area in the Delaware Bay.
Voigt noted the Army corps still has $20 million in funds for its current fiscal year because it was unable to award contracts for those two areas last year.
He said no firms bid for the Delaware Bay work in 2013, likely because dredging firms were busy with beach-replenishment work in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. The corps received bids for work in the area near the bridges but rejected them as too high.
"When you combine the $20 million and the $35 million, it gives us a cushion," Voigt said. "Some of the more major work is still ahead of us."

Ha ricoperto per due volte (nel 1992, ad interim, e tra il 1995 e il 1997) l'incarico di Primo ministro dell'Estonia.

Biografia
Laureato in Ingegneria all'Università Tecnologica di Tallinn, fino al 1992 ha lavorato come dirigente presso un'azienda di trasporti della sua città natale, Valga.

La carriera politica

Il movimento indipendentista
All'interno del movimento per l'indipendenza nazionale estone, fu tra gli organizzatori del Fronte Popolare Estone, guidando la sezione della contea di Valga.

Nel 1989 fu nominato titolare del dicastero dei Trasporti e delle Comunicazioni, incarico che ricoprì fino al gennaio del 1992. Come ministro, strinse rapporti con i suoi omologhi dei Paesi nordici e degli altri Paesi baltici; guidò il trasferimento degli aeroporti, delle ferrovie e dei porti estoni, fino a quel momento guidati da Mosca, sotto il controllo delle autorità estoni.

Nel periodo immediatamente successivo alla riconquista dell'indipendenza estone (1991) fu incaricato del governo delle regioni nordorientali del Paese, abitate in larga maggioranza dalla minoranza russa.

Il primo governo (1992)
Nel gennaio 1992 divenne il secondo Primo ministro dell'Estonia post-sovietica, dando il via a un vasto programma di trasformazione dell'economia del Paese dal sistema pianificato e centralizzato comunista al libero mercato. Il suo governo introdusse anche la divisa nazionale estone, la corona, nel giugno 1992. Diede vita all'Agenzia estone per le privatizzazioni, che si fece carico del trasferimento ai privati delle strutture economiche fino ad allora di proprietà dello Stato.

In ossequio all'impegno assunto accettando l'incarico di primo ministro ad interim, non concorse alle elezioni parlamentari del 1992.

Il secondo governo (1995-1997)
Dopo aver lasciato l'incarico di primo ministro, nel 1993 venne eletto presidente del Partito della Coalizione Estone (Eesti Koonderakond), un partito di centrosinistra. Alle elezioni del 1995 vinse la coalizione della quale il partito faceva parte insieme all'Unione Popolare Estone; il presidente Lennart Meri conferì quindi a Vähi l'incarico di formare il nuovo governo. Esteso anche al Partito di Centro Estone, il gabinetto entrò in carica il 15 aprile 1995.

La vita del secondo governo Vähi fu tormentata: già l'11 ottobre 1995 diversi ministri si dimisero, portando il Partito di Centro Estone a ritirarsi dalla coalizione. Il 7 novembre il primo ministro provvide a un rimpasto, includendo questa volta il Partito Riformatore Estone. La nuova coalizione, tuttavia, resse solo un anno: il 20 novembre 1996 altri sei ministri, tra i quali il titolare degli Esteri Siim Kallas, si dimisero a loro volta, sancendo la rottura tra il Partito della Coalizione ed il Partito Riformatore. Il 1º dicembre Vähi eseguì un nuovo rimpasto, assegnando dicasteri esclusivamente a esponenti del suo partito.

Il 7 febbraio 1997 il governo ottenne una risicata fiducia (46 voti a 45) in Parlamento; sottoposto a una dura pressione da parte del suo stesso partito, si dimise il 25 febbraio e fu sostituito da Mart Siimann. Il Partito della Coalizione, che aveva fondato, presieduto e portato al governo, si sciolse nel 2001.
