The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) collaborated to create this presidential questionnaire in order to learn more about how the candidates would address issues important to the disability community. The questionnaire was sent out to all presidential candidates on 20+ state ballots.
Mr. Trump is the second candidate of the 2016 presidential election to complete the REV UP Presidential Candidate Questionnaire.
With only 21 days until Election Day and early voting already taking place in many states WE NEED YOUR HELP getting out the word about these questionnaire responses to educate the disability community, and the rest of the country, on how Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would address issues that are important to people with disabilities.
People with disabilities and their families account for 62.7 million voters this election, approximately one fourth of the electorate. Please take a few minutes to reach out to your friends, family, and colleagues to share the REV UP Presidential Questionnaire responses from Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recent publication, "High Risk Series" (2015), clearly points out the vast problems of administration and effectiveness of federal disability programs. These very same problems have been cited in previous reports spanning over twenty years. To address these issues, reform must begin within the Executive Branch. A recent report by the Romano Group, LCC proposed establishing a National Office of Disability Coordination (NODC) in the Executive Office of The President of the United States. This office would be responsible for developing coordinated federal disability policies and advise the President on necessary changes in the organization, management, budgeting, and personnel allocation of the federal agencies involved in all aspects of disability.
Will you commit to creating a National Office of Disability Coordination to be headed by a cabinet level executive?
What are you doing to make sure qualified people with disabilities will be a part of your political team and, if elected, as part of your administration?
My administration is committed to a comprehensive review of all programs related to people with disabilities with the mandate to modernize, streamline and disentangle the current bureaucratic labyrinth with programs strewn across multiple departments, agencies and offices with little or no coordination. We will consider the possible creation of a National Office of Disability Coordination. As for making sure qualified people with disabilities will be part of my administration, I will charge all department and agency heads with making sure that the best qualified people get assigned to the Executive Branch, including people with disabilities. We are a society based on merit and the American people deserve we recruit the very best people from all talent pools including people with disabilities. I will make certain the best possible people are advising me.
People with disabilities experience one of the highest rates of unemployment of any minority group. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015 the unemployment rate for people with disabilities was at 12.1%, which is nearly three times higher than the 4.8% unemployment rate of people without disabilities. The next administration must make employment for people with disabilities a top priority.
Although legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act has served to advance and expand the opportunities of people with disabilities in the workforce, there are still many barriers that must be considered and overcome to increase employment for people with disabilities to comparable levels for people without disabilities.
What will you do to strengthen Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act and ensure the Federal government is a model employer of people with disabilities?
How will you ensure the provisions under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act will be fully enforced by the Department of Labor and that Federal contractors will meet their affirmative action obligations under the law?
This nation has suffered enough with Presidents who think that they can act in an imperial manner and unilaterally write rules or ignore those that affect millions. It is important that the final regulations under Section 501 are enforced. We will then do all we can to make sure that the agenda outlined and agreed upon gets implemented. My administration will work with Congress to set an example of the importance and value of hiring individuals with disabilities. A Trump Administration will follow the law.
Many people with disabilities are underemployed. Despite similar education, people with disabilities who are working earn less on average than workers without disabilities. The median earnings for workers with disabilities is less than two thirds the median wages for workers without disabilities (Disability Statistics & Demographics Rehabilitation Research and Training Center, 2011). Furthermore, the 1937 Section 14c provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act authorizes employers to pay sub-minimum wages to workers who have disabilities.
Do you plan to phase out the 1937 Section 14c of the Fair Labor Standards Act?
How will you expand supported employment services to people with disabilities?
How do you plan to build an infrastructure to address the underemployment and wage gaps experienced by people with disabilities?
In a free market economic system, labor is as much a commodity as any other good or service. People in the workforce respond to the incentives that lead them to leave the workforce or remain a part of it. People with disabilities have the right to be paid on parity with all others in the work force so they may earn a fair days wage for a fair day's work. My administration will work with Congress to ensure that labor laws treat people with disabilities fairly.
Opening doors for entrepreneurs and small business owners with disabilities is vital to addressing employment for people with disabilities. The next administration will need to create new opportunities for people with disabilities to start their own businesses and compete for government contracts.
How do you plan to ensure that people with disabilities can open and sustain small businesses?
How do you plan to include business-owners with disabilities in the competitions to obtain government contracts?
It is stunning that after seven years of Obama and Clinton that people with disabilities are no better off today than they were 8 years ago.
Our government acquisition system is structured in such a way as to provide access to government contracts for minority and woman-owned businesses. This system should be reviewed and reformed, if necessary. My administration will seek to create opportunities for all Americans, including Americans with disabilities, on an equal basis without discrimination.
Youth with disabilities often find themselves distanced from the opportunities to learn job skills through work in their formative years leading to unemployment and underemployment throughout their lives.
How do you plan to engage youth with disabilities in pre-employment opportunities that will lead to successful transitions from school to work and/or higher education?
How would you reform the public workforce system to ensure people with disabilities, especially youth with disabilities, are fully integrated into the economic development of regional economies?
Dealing with the challenges of employing and training young people with disabilities will require my administration to work with Congress; I would support legislation concerning those goals. My administration will work with Congress to establish national priorities that will reflect the will of the people.
Of the federal and state expenditures combined for working age people with disabilities, 41 percent is spent on income benefits (e.g., SSI and SSDI) and 55 percent on health care (Medicaid and Medicare). A paltry 1.2 percent of federal and state expenditures go to educating, training and employment programs for people with disabilities.
With 4.6 million people with disabilities on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and 8.9 million people on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), how would your administration reform these federal income support programs so people with disabilities can receive income supports without being required to preclude working so they can secure employment or return to employment sooner?
Medicaid eligibility and programmatic requirements now create barriers for individuals with disabilities seeking to enter or return to the workplace because they cannot access needed supports such as personal care attendants, power wheelchairs, complex rehab technology, other rehabilitation devices and services, home and community based services, medical supplies and therapies. Do you support initiatives that would allow workers with disabilities to continue to work past age 65, maintain eligibility from state to state, and carry their Medicaid benefits into private employment settings? How would you work with the private sector to address the critical independent living supports that many private insurance programs do not cover for people with disabilities?
No federal government program should discourage anyone from working. Many programs must be streamlined and improved to establish national priorities that meet the needs and demands of all Americans. The doubling of the national debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in just the last 8 years means we will need to keep a close eye on expanding government spending. However, by eliminating ineffective programs and untangling the labyrinth of programs serving people with disabilities, we can deliver improved outcomes without necessarily increasing spending. I will seriously weigh the merits of any legislation on this issue that Congress would send to me if I were fortunate enough to be elected President.
The vast majority of Americans with disabilities and older Americans prefer home and community based services that allow them to live independently in their communities, however, states and insurance providers of Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) still restrict access to community-based services which results in unwanted institutionalization, depriving institutionalized individuals of their fundamental freedoms and cutting short their lives. This reliance on institutional placement is also far more expensive than services in the community.
If elected, will you support the Disability Integration Act (currently S.2427/HR.5689) – bipartisan civil rights legislation that establishes in statute the right of Americans with LTSS disabilities to receive services and supports in the community and be integrated in society – and sign this or similar civil rights legislation into law?
What other investments will you make in expanding long-term services and supports?
This is another example of inflexible federal regulations that waste money and fail to deliver the services needed. My administration will work with Congress and agencies to eliminate unneeded regulations to improve the services the government provides individuals with disabilities. I will consider all legislation that accomplishes that goal.
Access to affordable and reliable transportation allows people with disabilities important opportunities to go to school, work, take care of their health, live where they desire, and participate in all aspects of community life. Because our nation's investments in transportation infrastructure have disproportionately favored cars and highways, those who cannot afford cars or do not operate cars often lack viable transportation options.
Access to public transportation is a key to independence and full community participation for people with disabilities.
What would you do to expand access to affordable and accessible transportation for people with disabilities, especially in rural areas?
This is a critical question that must be dealt with by the federal government. We should integrate into our investments in infrastructure and transportation assets policies to provide to the extent possible services required by people with disabilities.
Transportation networking companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft have the potential to increase transportation options for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, TNCs have discriminated against people with disabilities by refusing rides to individuals with service animals and individuals using wheelchairs.
What would your Administration do to ensure all people with disabilities have access to the services provided by TNC's?
TNCs operate on licenses issued at the local level. Should Congress addresses this issue, I will consider the legislation from the perspective of meeting the needs and respecting the rights of individuals with disabilities when it reaches my desk.
As autonomous or self-driving vehicles move towards becoming a reality, they promise new mobility options and increased independence for people with disabilities who have missed out on the benefits of a century of automotive history.
What will your Administration do to ensure people with disabilities are not left at the side of the road but realize the maximum benefits possible as self-driving technology continues to develop and advance and regulations get promulgated?
This technology is in its infancy and I am sure its developers would be open to such concerns, but ultimately, this is an issue that will be settled in a free market economy. If there is demand, there will be supply. There is no reason at this juncture to believe that people with disabilities will not be able to buy or otherwise have access to self-driving vehicles.
Air travel can be complicated for everyone, but people with disabilities encounter many additional barriers to air travel. From the time we enter the airport, we are faced with obstacles that not only result in frequent delays and missed flights, but they also put our dignity and safety at risk. People with disabilities frequently experience inaccessible facilities and equipment in airports, overly intrusive and discriminatory TSA security screenings, breakage of mobility and medical equipment, unsafe and harmful transport and transfers by airport staff, inaccessible aircraft facilities and amenities, and additional fees. Air travel can be extremely difficult for people with disabilities, including those who must travel for work, sometimes rendering it nearly impossible.
As President, what would you do to address this issue?
Difficulties with TSA have been a problem for many Americans and its performance must improve on many fronts. Enhanced training for TSA agents will be a priority for my administration and we will review possible gaps in our disability laws and training in this regard.
Accessible mainstream communication and information technologies, as well as assistive and adaptive technologies, often allow people with disabilities to secure and maintain employment, participate in educational activities, and experience entertainment like everyone else.
The U.S. Congress enacted section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in 1973, a statute that requires the federal government to purchase information technology that is accessible to and usable by employees with disabilities in the federal government and by customers with disabilities accessing federal government services online. Despite this longstanding requirement, many federal websites and online government services remain inaccessible to users who are blind, people with low vision, people with intellectual disabilities and other disabilities.
Would you make it a priority to ensure federal agencies make their websites and all other information technology accessible? How will you implement this?
The Executive branch of government under my administration will do all it can to ensure that the laws of the land are enforced in this regard to the extent it is technologically feasible.
The Internet of Things, including smart homes and other connected devices, has the potential to increase the independence and community integration of people with disabilities. Connected devices are being developed and released for sale at breakneck speed with new devices coming to market every day often without any accessibility or usability requirements. Universal design and accessibility features must be included in these devices in order for the Internet of Things to realize the potential it has to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. Under Title II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, people with disabilities have access to modifications, accommodations, and auxiliary aides or services to participate in the activities and services of both local and state government and places of public accommodations, a protection that currently does not exist on the Internet of Things.
What will you do to ensure that people with disabilities have the same access to the Internet of Things as provided to nondisabled individuals?
The hallmark of high-tech is personally customizable devices and products. The high-tech community should not be averse to achieving these goals for people with disabilities as technology makes it feasible. To the extent the industry unfairly or actively discriminates against people with disabilities, I will work with Congress and relevant authorities to enforce the law.
Due to the enactment and implementation of a key civil rights law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, or the "special education" law), high school graduation rates for people with disabilities have increased 45 percent since 1995, with an associated decrease in dropout rates for students with disabilities. Similarly, enrollment in college has doubled for students with disabilities. Nevertheless, local school districts struggle to serve students with disabilities and students with disabilities seeking a higher education continue to face enormous barriers to success.
When IDEA was passed in 1975, Congress pledged to fund 40% of the differential cost of serving students with disabilities. The closest the federal government has come to meeting that pledge is 19% in 2010. Higher levels of funding will ensure more students with disabilities receive the supports they need in K-12, are able to complete high school, and have the opportunity to go on to postsecondary education and postsecondary employment.
Do you support funding IDEA at higher levels?
The level of funding in every aspect of education is an issue which has been made harder by the doubling of the national debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the last 8 years alone. By eliminating waste and duplicative ineffective programs we will be able to deliver better outcomes. Increasing federal spending in any area has now been made more difficult, but I will work with Congress to decide among the many priorities like IDEA funding.
In some localities, students with disabilities are not taught the challenging curriculum available to students without disabilities.
How would you ensure that students with disabilities have the same access to ambitious educational opportunities that other students have?
How would you increase the number of high school graduates with disabilities and what would you do to ensure more college graduates with disabilities secure employment and are hired by the private sector?
The federal government should have as minimal a role in local public education as possible. That said, the government should protect the civil rights of students with disabilities. There are civil rights mechanisms in place to do just that already, such as the federal court ruling that disabled children have a right to a free and appropriate education. The federal government enforces that ruling and my administration will enforce it when it is violated.
Bullying of students with disabilities is a long-standing problem. So is the use of restraints and seclusion, especially for students with disabilities.
Do you support amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to protect young students with disabilities from bullying and the use of restraints and seclusion, and to require state educational agencies and local school districts systems to report incidents of bullying and the use of restraints and seclusion, and to provide interventions to reduce bullying and the use of restrains and seclusion?
No child should be bullied in school — by other students or staff. This is another issue regarding people with disabilities that I would ask a Cabinet-led task force to review and work with Executive Branch agencies and Departments and Congress as appropriate.
Students with disabilities frequently lack access to the general education classroom.
What steps will you take to expand access to the general education classroom and broader inclusion for students with disabilities?
The federal courts have already found that students with disabilities are entitled to a free and appropriate education. To the extent this ruling is not being properly carried out, I will be open to ensuring that it is.
Americans with disabilities face many obstacles and barriers to voting, including inaccessible polling places and voting equipment, difficulty getting to the polling place, and poorly informed election officials and poll workers about access issues.
What will you do to ensure people with disabilities have equal access to the fundamental right to vote?
Do you support providing funding to states so they can purchase new accessible voting systems to replace the first generation accessible voting systems that have outlived their useful life?
I would support funding states so that they might fulfill their Constitutional requirements to conduct elections, including reasonable accessibility for people with disabilities and other Americans to exercise their right to vote.
The lack of affordable, accessible housing has taken an egregious toll on the lives of people with disabilities who continue to be warehoused in nursing homes and other institutional settings.
As President, what will you do to address the need for affordable, integrated accessible housing for people with disabilities?
Federal law prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in both private and public housing and requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations, including modifications, for Americans with disabilities. Federal law also requires that most multi-family housing built after 1991 have accessible entrances, common areas, doors, bathrooms, and kitchens. I support these laws and will be open to improving them.
People with disabilities rely on both public (Medicaid) and private insurance options to obtain coverage to meet their health care needs. Access to affordable comprehensive health care coverage is essential for people with disabilities to live independently and maximize the quality of their lives. Unfortunately, many people with disabilities continue to lack access to the services and supports they need. In addition, despite existing legal protections, people with disabilities are subject to discrimination in both the financing and provision of health care services.
What will you do to address discrimination in the financing and provision of health care services to people with disabilities? Will you make enforcement of existing health care nondiscrimination protections for people with disabilities a priority?
How will you work to expand access to affordable, comprehensive health care coverage for people with disabilities?
How will you work to improve the Medicaid program, including ensuring access to home and community based services and the elimination of the bias toward institutional services in the Medicaid program?
Inflexible, one-size-fits-all regulations in federal programs including Medicaid have harmed, not served, people with disabilities. The bias toward institutional care built into to regulations promulgated by the HHS waste money and fail to deliver the services needed. My administration will work to eliminate unneeded regulation and allow for greater flexibility in regulations to ensure programs including Medicaid better serve the needs of people with disabilities.


Finally, my Singapore travel post. I've been dragging this for six months now and I was finally able to get hold of some nice photos from my cousin's camera. I was so tired that taking good photos was on the very back of my mind.
I went to Singapore last April and went home the first week of May. That trip was really tiring, very expensive and very bitin. Nevertheless, seeing a glimpse of the first-world country was amazing.
We arrived at Singapore around 12 in the midnight and I was in the state between groggy and excited. Since I was just a joiner in my cousin's family vacation, I have no idea what to expect and what places to see. I didn't get to do my research before the trip as I was busy with work and tried to finish everything before I went out of office.
I wasn't a light traveler, but due to my frequent flying to my hometown, I have learned to pack and choose my clothes well. Beforehand, I try to plan my daily outfit for the trip. Then I bring one pajama and two shirts as my sleeping wear. I also bring three extra shirts/shorts for any outfit mishaps or malfunction. For my shoes, I try to bring only three – a very comfortable one that I can wear and match to my outfits, another one if anything happens and a slipper. My luggage was less than 15 kilos for a week's trip. I used to bring my closet before and I was wasting money on the baggage fees. Thank God Singapore has the same weather as Philippines, so I only brought summer wear – thin and light.
Since my cousin forgot that we needed a place to stay in on our first night and our hotel won't accept early check-in, she decided to spend our night in a backpacker hostel. It's my first time to actually stay in one. It was just a little hard to find since it's in the middle of the Bugis – Little India area and the taxi driver even told us that our hotel has a funny name. It's actually "Sleepy Kiwi" in Lavender St. and "Green Kiwi" in Bugis. We ended up dragging our luggage from one street to the other. It was harder since we had kids with us.
It's a bed and breakfast kind of place and it's better for young people who's travelling in groups, frequent flyer or have plans of staying longer in Singapore. Among the hostels in Singapore, this is the only one who accepts kids as well. So that's a really big point for us since we have a four year old little boy. We had a quick dinner in their dining area and arranged our luggage in the luggage/locker room before proceeding upstairs. We took a room with 10 beds and since it's my first time to sleep in a backpacker hostel, I was a little bit observant. I stayed up until another two people who were scheduled to share the room with us settled in. Thankfully, they were two American girls and slept as soon as they arrived.
If you are a lone traveler and you are looking for adventurers like you, it's nice to get into backpacker hostels. I saw an announcement posted on the wall that they will all have dinner together and get to know each other. But I'm pretty sure this kind of hostel isn't for me. I'm a scaredy cat and I have a pet peeve for safety and security.
This area is called the Arab Street or Little India. The mosque is a pretty structure in the middle of the establishments. We checked out of the hostel at 6AM and look how the place looks empty.
My first morning in Singapore was promising. We were a little stressed and tired and we got annoyed over such small things that we almost had misunderstandings, but at the end of the day, we still need to stick together because we only have each other on that beautiful country.
Anyway, let's hop on to my first day in the Lala Land with a little side trip to Johor Bahru in Malaysia! Read here.

aw i miss singapore. it was such a lovely country with friendly people!


CryptoGames will help indie-studios to launch their games using Cryptogame (BTT) tokens, the platform's new currency.
It's nearly impossible to launch a mobile game without outside investments today. Most game developers meet this problem head on, even those with very promising products. For those that do succeed, many have lost a great deal of possible profits in the beginning stages of a project, sometimes without a large initial splash.
CryptoGames has met similar circumstances, however the group has managed to utilize a unique solution that can be deployed across the broader industry. The numbers across the gaming industry are no secret, as all the data is available to the public. With a market cap over $100 billion, this figure is expected to rise per annum for the foreseeable future, which makes this area very attractive for investment.
Common funding mechanisms seek to take control of a company, often seizing those rights from original developers. However, crowd funding is also limited by its ability to attract only final consumers. Enter blockchain, which can rewrite the rules of the game and change old ways via an initial coin offering (ICO).
In this sense, ICOs provide equal and convenient opportunities for everyone to get a piece of the future profits in a common and well-known business. As such, CryptoGames will help indie-studios to launch their games using Cryptogame (BTT) tokens, the platform's new currency.
The group's ICO will also coincide with the team's launch of their own game – Battle of Titans. Boasting over ten years of experience, the group has under its belt dozens of successfully launched projects that constitute a lengthy background of expertise in game development and marketing.
This led to Cryptogames' team choosing only the most streamlined products for the release on their platform. Indeed, there is already a pool of requests from indie-studios regarding a collaboration with CryptoGames. The group's team has already created a gaming module with an estimated valuation of around $10.0 million in two years, starting with just a $1.0 million budget.
This staunch growth in valuation serves as an endorsement for would-be investors. BTT is non-emitting with its growth fuelled by the continuous buyback from the percentage of revenue of all the projects on the platform.
Consequently, the first token's price increase is likely to take place following the duration of the ICO itself, which is scheduled for October 29, 2017 – this will also coincide with Battle of Titans launch on iOS. Users will be able to spend BTT as an in-game currency for all projects on the CryptoGames platform.
All the collected BTTs go straight to the CryptoGames foundation where they can only be used for future crowdsale opportunities to launch new projects. Tokens will also be available for in-game purchases and a certain percentage of revenue will always be spent for the token's buyback.
The key difference lies in the amount of money needed for new projects – caps will be set in accordance with the market. The overall initiative will draw on the studio's CEO, Nikolay Karpov, who has experience in navigating such projects. Interested individuals are invited to consult the group's white paper.
In anticipation of large growth, the group is also setting some high goals. More specifically, besides deploying new games on the platform, the group will dedicate extensive time towards the main project of the studio – Battle of Titans.
Unreal Engine 4 will help facilitate the power of computer graphics and physics on the portable devices. Consequently, PC and Console versions are already lined up for the nearest future. Additionally, PvP-oriented gameplay with a manual aiming system will help stimulate the cybersport component of the game. The group will be making periodic updates and news announcements regarding the Battle of Titans' first tournaments and teams.
In this sense, CryptoGames will become the first fully-fledged cross-platform service where any studio will have an ability to place and launch its product, securing new players and proper investment.
Prospective investors will not have to wait very long for a future project in development – the first game is already ready to be launched. Moreover, 25 percent of all funds raised during the ICO will go to the market, which will be key in establishing tokens' high initial price.
Of note, there will be no tokens emission and all unsold tokens will be burnt after the ICO. There will also be a permanent BTT buyback with 15-60 percent, pending the goals reached during the ICO, of all the Cryptogames' profits.
The group will be displaying all measures of accounting and progress via live statistics. There will also be a large discount to BTTs, given an artificial deficit. This is due to tokens being spent as an in-game currency. As a further incentive, some in-game goodies and ad-ons can only be bought with BTTs. Individuals looking to the long-term, can also keep their BTTs, which in essence makes them a co-Founder so to speak for all the future projects.
In terms of game developing studios, these groups can use money for their respective products for launches using clear and fair conditions. Cryptogames' broad expertise will also be available to help on game development. This includes monetization and technical problems fixing, multi-language translation, and adaptation, etc.
Finally, for gamers, BTTs offer a chance for unique prizes for all ICO and crowd sale participants. This includes bonus tokens during the ICO later this month and special in-game items, exclusively available for purchase with BTTs. BTTs can be sold for BTC/ETH on the market at any moment as well. Lastly, every BTT owner can have a Closed Beta Key for any new games on the platform.
without outside investments – what is that? does this have meaning?
CryptoGames has met similar circumstances – what is the source for this statement?
there is already a pool of requests from indie-studios – source? why r u guys so blatantly promoting this company?
this article seems to be an unabashed promotion of the company by FM, which claims itself to be a news website. great.

Q: how to extract a value with google analytics API I'm trying to extract the yesterdays visits from my website through the Google Analytics API.
I understand how to extract the data, but I don´t understand how to show the data in the browser.
var report = new gapi.analytics.report.Data({
query: {
  'ids': 'ga:XXX',
  'metrics': 'ga:visits',
  'start-date': 'yesterday',
  'end-date': 'yesterday',
}
});

report.execute();

Here is the query code. Can anyone help me with it with a working example?

A: Assuming you are also referencing the relevant libraries for the analytics API and you have set up access tokens etc. Then you could change your code as below.  Also, when you say 'browser' I'm assuming you're pointing this towards an HTML page. If so you'll need to put a div element in the page.  Let's call this div element 'yesterdaySessions'.  BTW, you also need to change your query from 'visits' to 'sessions' since this is what Google now call it.
So in your HTML page you need a div element like this:

Then you need to modify your code to tell it to send your results from the GA API to your div element.  This should then look something like this:
var report = new gapi.analytics.report.Data({
query: {
ids: 'ga:XXX',  //change this for your profile.
  'metrics': 'ga:sessions',  // visits is now 'sessions'
'start-date': 'yesterday',
'end-date': 'yesterday',

  }
});

// When the report has run you need to then send it to your div element created above.

report.on('success', function(report) {
     for (var prop in report) {
      var outputDiv = document.getElementById('yesterdaySessions');
      outputDiv.innerHTML = report[prop];
     }

//Optional, but it is worth logging your results to the console in case you later want to unpick what is going on.

        console.log(report);
});

  report.execute();

Bear in mind that the code above will send all parts of the returned array to the page element 'yesterdaySessions'. However, since there is just one integer value (the sessions from yesterday), this is what you will read.  It is worth knowing that the entire array is there, mind you, because if you later want to manipulate it (for example add yesterday's visits to today's visits) you'll need to do something else to extract the values from the arrays.
Hope this helps.

Q: Castle DynamicProxy - Carry out deserialized invocation on different target I am trying to use DynamicProxy to generate a proxy without a target, when a method on the proxy is invoked, I would like to serialize the IInvocation to then be passed to another process (on another machine) that will use an IOC container to resolve the target type and carry out the invocation on its new resolved target.
My invocation receiver would look something like the following:
public class InvocationReceiver
{
    private readonly UnityContainer _container;

    public InvocationReceiver(UnityContainer container)
    {
        _container = container;
    }

    public void ReceiveInvocation(Castle.DynamicProxy.IInvocation invocation)
    {
        var target = _container.Resolve(invocation.TargetType);

        Invoke(invocation, target); //Something like this
    }
}

I'm not sure if I am taking the right approach, that being said, is there a helper in the lib that would allow me to do this?

A: You might want to do something like this:
var method_to_call = invocation.Method;

try
{
    invocation.ReturnValue = method_to_call.Invoke(target, invocation.Arguments);
}
catch (TargetInvocationException target_invocation_exception)
{
    throw target_invocation_exception.InnerException;
}

The try/catch block is optional. I put it to make sure that in case that the target object throws an exception, we throw the same exception and not a TargetInvocationException wrapping the exception. Take a look at this.


Glenn Oken is a managing director at Mangrove Equity Partners in Tampa, FL, where he focuses on originating deal opportunities and qualifying acquisition candidates. Glenn has been a private equity investor focusing on the lower middle market for 27 years and has completed 129 transactions across 57 different niche industries.
For lower middle market companies in Florida, there are no longer geographic barriers. Money is willing to travel.
However, capital for startup companies may more commonly find seed funding through local angel groups and investors. Once they prove their business model they tend to attract interest from local investors, or from the start-up focused areas of the country.
Face-to-face meetings are essential in M&A deals. While numbers are important, relationships are key. In-person meetings give both sides an opportunity to assess the character of a potential partner.
As equity partners seek out lower middle-market companies, they look for those whose products or services are essential, non-cyclical and non-commoditized. Often, this ends up being companies with some measure of engineering content, customization, or technical capability who offer mission-critical products or services.
Thanks to the strength of the manufacturing and industrial services sector, the South may be one of the best regions for investors focused on those industry categories.
The M&A market has not yet seen a sudden mass exit by Baby Boomers. Multiple factors, not just age, are involved in an exit decision. Thus, deal volume seems to have followed a natural cycle over the years, rather than a sudden deluge of exiting Baby Boomers.

Swedish progressive metallers OPETH will join forces with France's GOJIRA for a short run of U.S. dates in May.
The details are as follows:
May 04 – Nashville, TN – War Memorial Auditorium
May 05 – Concord, NC – Charlotte Motor Speedway (Carolina Rebellion)
May 06 – Philadelphia, PA – Electric Factory
May 07 – Sayreville, NJ – Starland Ballroom
May 09 – Chicago, IL – The Vic Theatre
May 11 – Morrison, CO – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
May 12 – Kansas City, MO – Arvest Bank Theater at the Midland
May 13 – Indianapolis, IN – Old National Centre
May 14 – Somerset, WI – Somerset Amphitheater (Northern Invasion)
GOJIRA's latest album, "Magma", was released on June 17 via Roadrunner Records. The follow-up to 2012's "L'Enfant Sauvage" was recorded at GOJIRA frontman Joseph Duplantier's Silver Cord Studio in Queens, New York.
Asked what the title of GOJIRA's new album, "Magma", means to him, Joseph Duplantier told Kerrang!: "To me, 'magma' is the primal energy. It's the blood of the earth. It's hot. It's dangerous. It is the guts. It's this music. It's the music we play. It's fusion. It's fire. It's electricity. It's… everything that we're trying to express with this music. That's what it means to me, 'magma.'"
Joseph also talked about how he comes up with all those heavy GOJIRA riffs. He said: "I don't know if we have a formula or a secret to write some of our riffs. But I wanna say that we connect ourselves to a certain energy, we put ourselves in a certain state of mind naturally. The kind of music we wanna hear, the kind of riffs we wanna hear are intricate and heavy and spiritual and there's a part of mystery in it. So we put ourselves in this kind of state of mind. But, really, we have visions when we play. When I've got my guitar, I'm already in a certain mood, and then everything that comes out will be in that specific mood. Yeah, I guess we're really connected to all… everything that's nature… Ideas like infinity, outer space, black holes [are] very inspiring for heavy riffs."
OPETH's twelfth album, "Sorceress", was released at the end of September.
For the band's first effort for Nuclear Blast via OPETH's imprint label Moderbolaget Records, the group returned to Rockfield Studios in Wales, also home to pivotal releases from QUEEN, RUSH and JUDAS PRIEST, where the Swedes had tracked "Pale Communion" in 2014 with Tom Dalgety
"It's got a little bit of everything," OPETH frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt told Guitar World about the album's musical direction. "There are some progressive moments, some jazz moments, some acoustic things. And even though it's not a death-metal record, it's still got some really heavy moments in there as well."

BULL with Andy Carlson
#75: Andy Hates Traveling & Sublime + HOTB Western Edition
Andy hates traveling (the only human under 35 who does, it seems like) and has an odd reason why he thinks Sublime is the most overrated band in the history of sound. Plus he and Uncle Nick square off in the most nerve-wracking edition of How Old They Be EVER. Plus the news of Chris Cornell's unfortunate passing, McDonalds UK trying too hard, Peyton Manning hosting the ESPYs, and Friday. Friday. Gotta get down on Friday.
That and more on this edition of BULL with Andy Carlson.

Study Guides on Images of Liberty and Power: Washington and Napoleon in their Studies (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2010).
EBook PDF 1.27 MB This text-based PDF or EBook was created from the HTML version of this book and is part of the Portable Library of Liberty.
This study guide compares the "Lansdowne" portrait of President George Washington (1796) with Jacques-Louis David's painting of "The Emperor Napoleon in his Study in the Tuileries" (1812). There is a copy of the image, some discussion of the historical context, a description of what is in the image, an analysis of its content and meaning, and links to further readings on the topic. It is in the form of a PDF of a "slide show" which can be used in the class room for further study and examination.


Vieilles Vignes is a "blanc de blancs" organic champagne. It is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes which give it finesse and freshness. This Organic Champagne is Brut Nature (= zero-dosage).
Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Vinification on fine lees in small barrels and large casks with batonnage (beating in). Malo-lactic fermentation takes place. Wine aging in oak barrels. Unfined. Bottled on "Fruit days".
Nose of white flowers and citrus. The champagne is supple, fine and round in the mouth, well supported by good freshness and a touch of minerality.
Serve at 10 °C (50°F) as an aperitif, with oysters and other shellfish, fine fish "en papillote", freshwater fish as well as sushis et sashimis.


Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor, Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor, and Alpha-2C-1 adrenergic receptor participate in activation of Mitogen-activated protein kinases 1 and 3 (ERK1/2) via different ways .
Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor activates Phospholipase C beta 3 or 2 (PLC-beta3 or PLC-beta2) when complex Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein) beta and gamma (G-protein beta/gamma) is released from the trimeric complex with G-protein alpha-i family (presumably by G-protein alpha-i2) , . PLC-beta3 and PLC-beta2 may to hydrolyze Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) and produce 1,2-diacyl-glycerol (DAG) and Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). IP3 activates Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type 3 (IP3 receptor), which causes Ca('2) release from intracellular compartments. As a result of activation of adrenergic receptor, elevated cytosolic Ca('2) levels lead to activation of Calmodulin/ most likely Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II)/ PTK2B protein tyrosine kinase 2 beta (Pyk2(FAK2))/ v-src sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (c-Src)/ SHC transforming protein 1 (Shc)/ Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2)/ son of sevenless homolog (SOS)/ v-Ha-ras Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (H-Ras)/ v-raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (c-Raf-1)/ Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and 2 (MEK1 and MEK2)/ Erk .
Also, activation of ERK cascade by all three Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors is accomplished by stimulation of Arachidonic acid production via DAG. DAG is catalyzed by Diacylglycerol lipase alpha and beta (DGL-alpha and DGL-beta) to 2-arachidonoylglycerol, which gets converted by Monoglyceride lipase to Arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is then converted by Cytochrome P450 (by, for instance, Cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C polypeptide 8 (CYP2C8)) to 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (cis-14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid), which activates c-Src. c-Src may phosphorylate matrix metalloproteinases, for example ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12). ADAM12, in turn, cleaves Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) leading to transactivation of Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR then activates Shc- and GRB2-mediated ERK cascade activation .
In addition, Alpha-2A and Alpha-2C-1 adrenergic receptors, after activation of c-Src, can activate Shc/ GRB2/ SOS without EGFR-transactivation .
Also, all three Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors stimulate v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT(PKB)) that is thought to activate ERK2 and ERK1. AKT(PKB) may act via EGFR/ Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) / PtdIns(3,4,5)P3/ possibly via GRB2-associated binding protein 1 (GAB1) or directly/ 3-phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK (PDPK1)/ AKT. Alpha-2A and Alpha-2C-1 adrenergic receptors are also able to activate Phosphoinositide-3-kinase, regulatory subunit 1 (p85 alpha) (PI3K reg class IA (p85-alpha)) via c-Src without EGFR transactivation , , .
Moreover, Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor participates in ERK activation via extracellular Ca('2+) dependent Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activation, which in turn lead to Arachidonic acid production and to the above-described ERK cascade activation via Shc .
Due to ERK activity, adrenergic receptors influence cell growth and proliferation , . Furthermore, in nerve cells, ERK activates Jun oncogene (c-Jun) and participates in cell differentiation .


White sweet rocket, my favourite daisy and Alchemilla. I have loved seeing the sweet rocket (Hesperis matronalis) in the garden and in the vase. Have sown more for next year.
The most amazing chocolate cherry cake, if I do say so myself. I make this just once a year when cherries are in season, it's from this recipe.
The first flower to bloom from the cutting patches. Calendula officinalis.
Loves me a cheese and pickle sandwich.
Porridge outside for breakfast with paraphernalia all around me.
A tongue-sie! That's what my BFF calls it when pooches stick their tongue out while sleeping. We wait around for rare events like that in these parts. Then take pictures of them.
On my way to work. I picked some sweet williams for a lovely colleague who always spoils us so much. It was her turn.
Okay we are officially obsessed with bagels for breakfast.
Although this one wasn't as good. I just don't think a fried egg works. Both Quorn sausages and Quorn bacon went into my sandwich with some gently fried tomatoes too. It was still delicious but I prefer scrambled or an omelette.
It is funny the twists and turns of this life. I have just re-read this post from January.
The answer to my soul searching and pondering of how to do this meditation thing arrived by way of my dearest husband. He said that he wanted to give it a try too so we set time aside and just did it.
How simple was that. It was the combined effort of doing something together that made it work. Alone I'd have found an excuse not to bother but with the commitment to spend ten minutes in the evenings sitting meditating the habit has begun to form.
The actual meditating is still difficult and my mind wanders all over but I know this is a slow process one to work at, to listen to the wanderings just to get a feel of where it wanders then bring it back. Over and over.
This is a commitment a worthy one I feel. I have kept reading a little bit of the book but try to keep it simple while it's all so new. Breathing and focussing and drawing back the wandering mind and breathing again. And again. And again.
Here are a few more of the places we found to grab a bite.
Although this isn't a wholly vegetarian restaurant the menu is split in two. One page for 'meat eaters' the other for 'plant eaters.' It was an interesting menu and the setting was perfect. We sat outside on a very hot day and enjoyed the shade of the canopy that surrounds this designer yet quirky shopping area called Town and Country Village.
We stumbled upon this cafe after a whistle-stop tour of this lovely town. We weren't even hungry and ordered a muffin to begin with but then decided to stay for an early lunch too. We had houmous wraps and they were really good.
This was an airy but busy place that served food all day and had a little cafe/store attached. We had lunch and breakfast here during our stay and the food was very good. Those sweet potato fried in the shot above were so good I'm going to try make them here at home.
We have been to San Fran three times and we have been to Za Pizza three times. Yes, we love it so much we would always want to go back. It doesn't hurt that they are Giants fans or that this tiny place is set within an amazing part of the city right up there on Russian Hill and along side the cable car route. They have local artists work on the walls and we brought home a baseball related piece this time too. The ride back to Union Square on the cable car is a wonderful finale to a great pizza experience.
A vegetarian cafe near City Hall. This was another busy spot, we went just before the ballet. I had neatloaf and mashed potatoes. Absolutely great. I loved mashed potatoes. Those little morsels in the photo were their version of 'chicken' nuggets. We shared them and they were so tasty.
Ans what better way to round of this post than with a little apricot oat slice. Lovely little coffee shop that had local ice cream too and all manner of sandwiches but we just stuck to dessert this time.
Thanks for letting me share our foodie experiences.
As the season progresses and I wander around the garden I find that the desire to cut flowers gets stronger. The more I see blooming the more I want to pick. It becomes a habit, a way.
I grabbed this jug full under just those circumstances. They were there, they were flowering, they were picked.
It's a mix of buttercups, knautia, alchemilla, geranium, sweet rocket, chive flowers and daisy (I have forgotten which daisy plant it is but maybe it's a leucanthemella?) Cheerful and perfect.
Allium cristophii with the macro lens. I think it looks like a cluster french castles.
We used this blog post and made our own.
Bee on knautia. Marco lens again.
Taken with my phone. I did tweak the brightness setting to bring out the blue and darken the foreground.
My version of overnight oats and bircher muesli.
Another weekend another breakfast bagel concoction.
One of the most interesting flavour combinations we tried while over in the US was avocado with eggs. It seemed all wrong to me but tastes great so I tried it on the bagels today. I added sliced tomato on top of the avocado and then the eggs.
I topped the stack off with some Quorn bacon.
We did try one with tomato ketchup instead of the fresh tomatoes but for this combination fresh was better.
Mmm… loving this breakfast sandwich thing.
Hello pizza number twenty five.
I can't say that just because they haven't appeared here we haven't been eating them. But we are creatures of habit and we have been eating the same old, same old pizzas!
But here was a new one.
Simplicity itself. Three ingredients for the topping plus seasonings. Mozzarella, Mushrooms and Asparagus. The mushrooms were lightly fried before adding onto the top. The flavours worked so well together and it was delicious and we will be making it again.
It's hard to get an impression of the scale of this impact crater from photos. Actually it was hard while we were stood right there on the top because you can't judge the scale.
The internet images and the wiki page are worth a look to realise the size and amazingness of this big old hole in the ground!
There was a very detailed and informative museum and you could go on a led tour of the rim which took you about a quarter of the way round the crater. The guides were very knowledgable and it was a good visit all round.
So another one can be crossed off!

The main hair loss treatments for men are Minoxidil (Regaine, Aminexil or Alostil), Finasteride (Propecia or Proscar) and Dutasteride (Proscar or Chibro Proscar).
For women, Minoxidilis the main medication. There are also Spironolactone (or Aldactone) and Cyproterone acetate.
Vitamines and minerals are often recommended but they work only if the patient has a deficiency, which is rare.
Among the vitamins, note the vitamin A, the group B vitamins, the vitamin C and the vitamin E.
Regarding the minerals, note copper, zinc, selenium and iodine. Iron should be classified into another group as it is VERY often the cause of hair loss in women.
Some specific treatments against a disease could fight the hair loss. For example, in case of women hypothyroidism, thyroid hormones or anti-androgens can help.
Finally, be careful as many drugs can cause hair loss: drugs like antidepressants (Fluoxetine), anticholesterol (Lopid), antiulcerous (Zantac, Tagamet), some acne medications (Roaccutane), anti-inflammatory (Indomethacine, Naproxine), Beta blockers (sometimes written as ß-blockers) like Inderal, Lopressor or Tenormin, and also the contraceptive pill.

Abstract: This thesis presents a study of the fragmented nature of activities involved in the specification and procurement of construction products. Existing Internet-based approaches have perpetuated fragmentation in this domain and this has resulted in a problem known as 'digital anarchy.' The thesis describes the design and development of an application based on the metaphor of software agents to address this problem. The thesis has validated the view that failures in the existing approaches have resulted in the 'digital anarchy' problem. Such approaches have failed to eradicate paper-based communication patterns and its related sequential work methods. The thesis has established the proof of concept of using agents for the management of distributed information in the selected domain. The work has also synthesised agent technology, XML and Web Services into a cohesive architecture, demonstrating that the ultimate solution to the 'digital anarchy' problem will emerge from a synergy of the various streams of research in Internet-related technologies. The work has established that there is significant scope for systematic improvement in the specification and procurement of construction products listed on the Internet based on the agent paradigm.

Incident Details: The Team were paged to respond to a man who had fallen out of his sailing dinghy 100m offshore, and was shouting for help. His boat had capsized and the mast was stuck in the lake bottom. Following a well rehearsed routine, the Team asked if either of the local marinas could despatch a safety boat, whilst swiftly despatching its own inflatable boat and crew in a vehicle down to Kettlewell. Fortunately a boat from Nichol End marine responded, picking a Keswick MRT Swiftwater technician at the Keswick boat landings en route. A second boat from Derwent Marina also set off, crewed by a KMRT technician. The first boat was swiftly on scene, and picked up the man who was unhurt. They returned him to the Kettlewell car park where he was checked over by an NWAS paramedic. The boat crew then went and retrieved the dinghy, and returned it to shore. All boats then stood down, and the Team returned to base. Time taken to retrieve the stricken sailor, from the first page to the Team, to him being brought ashore, was 28 minutes. Considering that Team members had to get to base, contact the various assets, kit up and then get to the scene, that felt like a very efficient response. Our thanks to Nichol End and Derwentwater marinas for their speedy response.

Q: Thunderbird 3 via GMail IMAP to Google Groups: sent items do not show up I use Thunderbird 3 with my GMail account using IMAP. When I send messages via Thunderbird to Google Groups I am subscribed to, my own messages do no appear in threads. Looking at the same threads in the GMail UI and the Groups UI, my own messages show up just fine.
Is there a way to get my own messages to show up in Thunderbird?

A: Gmail de-duplicates emails.  When you send a mail, the copy which comes back in is found to match the copy you already have and ignored.  This is why mail you send from your own address often just appears in Sent Mail.
Sent Mail is still in the conversation, and should still have the References: headers to allow it to be threaded.
I suspect that you're using Gmail filters to tag mails based on the list as they come in?  So this works in Gmail because when you look at a label in Gmail, you select conversations (threads) rather than messages, so you get all the replies.  The mail you sent won't itself have the label though, so on a strictly message-based interface such as IMAP that mail won't appear in the folder.
If you're using listid: to filter mail in Gmail, try using list: instead.  The list: operator handles the To: header, as well as List-Id:, so is better than the listid: operator (which is just too low-level).  Use <...> around the list-id to change the tokenisation to be more appropriate (and the '@' is a magic @ here, which will match the '.' form in the List-Id: header).

A: I have just solved this problem using the Send Filter add-on for Thunderbird.
Note, a TB3 compatible version is available.
Send filtering is also supposedly going to be available natively in TB3, but as of the 3.0 release, I can't see that it's in there.
With this add-on installed I am simply creating filters on the To: field for the relevant lists and setting the action to copy the message to the relevant folder. Works just fine.

About Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso, a landlocked country tucked into a corner West Africa, has much potential but is often misunderstood. Despite years of political hardship, the culture of Burkina Faso is a sample of humanity at its best – warm, hospitable, and resilient. Formerly called Upper Volta, the country was renamed in 1984 to reflect the cultural heritage of its people better. Despite new prospects for the country speaking of the heightened risk of terrorist attacks, food insecurity, and more, the future looks hopeful for this small and naturally beautiful country, as there has been an increase in social service funding in recent years.
