My mom grows concord grapes in her backyard. Growing up we would juice them together each year. She would then make a few dozen batches of delicious grape jelly from her homemade grape juice (post here).
This is my favorite jelly! It is so flavorful, sweet, and delicious! It is easy and quick to make, especially considering the fact that the extras will store for up to a year. I'd highly recommend trying this fantastic recipe.
Begin by sanitizing the lids and jars. Simmer them in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
Juice two lemons. Strain the lemon juice to remove pulp and seeds.
Combine 1/4 Cup lemon juice, 1 Cup water, and 2 Cups grape juice into a 6 or 8 Quart saucepan.
Measure the exact amount of 5 1/3 Cups sugar. Pour it into a separate bowl.
Stir 1 pkg. of MCP Premium Fruit Pectin into the juice in the saucepan. Optional: add 1/2 tsp. of butter or margarine to reduce foaming—we didn't add butter.
Bring the liquid mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly.
Add sugar to liquid mixture in saucepan. Return to a full rolling boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
Ladle or funnel immediately into prepared jars, filling each to within 1/4 inch of top. Wipe jar rims and threads and cover with two-piece lids.
Finally, you need to seal the jars by putting them into a waterbath canner. This will seal the lids tight to avoid fermentation. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water if needed. Place the lid on the hot water canner and turn the stove to high heat.
Remove jars and place them upright on a towel or cooling rack to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing centers of lids with finger. If lid springs back the jar is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary. Let prepared jars stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Store unopened jelly in cool, dry, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate opened jellies up to 3 weeks.
When ready to open a jar, carefully (so you are gripping the lid only and not the lip of the glass jar) use a church key to pop the sealed lid off.
Serve on toast, rolls, etc. and Enjoy!

Overnight storms cause issues across the South Metro Milwaukee area
The south metro area was hit the hardest. Intense rainfall shut down parts of I-43/894 at 84th Street and barricades blocked access to Marquette Avenue near 10th Avenue in South Milwaukee due to high water levels.
By: Adriana Mendez
OAK CREEK — Micah is left dealing with the aftermath of Sunday night's heavy rainfall. His vehicle was parked along South Wildwood Drive in Oak Creek when water surged over the bridge and into his vehicle.
"I just parked here overnight because I was spending the night at my mom's house," said Micah.
Monday morning many cars parked along the roadway are now considered a total loss.
"The inside of my car is all wet," said Micah.
Jamal Thompson was left dealing with the same situation. He saw the water levels rise all the way to his vehicle's side mirrors and debris from the water was found inside the hood of his vehicle.
"You could hear all the water coming out of the muffler as it was starting it," said Jamal.
Downtown Milwaukee YMCA temporarily closes amid growing coronavirus numbers
He said everyone is now just trying to do their part to help each other out.
Over on Stonefield Drive in Oak Creek, Betty Ann and Joseph Weiss said they received more than 5 inches of rain.
"My rain gauge was overflowing," said Joseph.
The couple said they have lived in their neighborhood for more than 40 years and have never seen the retention pond located in their backyard full of water.
"The kids were going to play baseball down there but I don't think so not today," said Betty Ann.

A Preemptive Study: from public amateurism to community science
February 12, 2022 @ 8:00 am - July 1, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
« LACE and MOLAA present: DREAM TEAM
LACE and MOLAA present Crack Rodriguez: DREAM TEAM »
Register here before March 6 (capped at 15 persons) Free and open to all
Study Group: 8 online sessions bi-weekly on Sundays from 1-3pm*
Scheduled meeting dates: March 13; March 26; April 10; April 24; May 7 (Sat); May 22; June 5; June 18 (Sat).
As part of the research for (un)disciplinary tactics: Beatriz da Costa, LACE presents A Preemptive Study: from public amateurism to community science, a free online study group on the work and research of the late artist Beatriz da Costa (1974–2012). Organized by (un)disciplinary tactics curator Daniela Lieja Quintanar and curatorial advisor Andrew McNeely with curatorial assistant Ana Briz.
This study group seeks to locate da Costa's work within a growing discourse around community-led scientific research. Join us for eight sessions as we collectively explore da Costa's notion of the artist as a dissenting amateur and her theory of tactical biopolitics.
After years of exploring the impacts of a society that prioritizes capital over people and their well-being, da Costa passed away at the age of 38 from metastatic breast cancer. This study group aims to continue da Costa's important thinking on art's value to the sciences. Participants will contemplate the value of amateur experimentation to the sciences on both the individual and collective level.
A Preemptive Study's focus will interest readers concerned with the boundaries of art and science, the politicization of scientific expertise, technocracy and deliberative democracy, and emerging forms of equitable policy-making. Fields that will be explored include biopolitics, interspecies collaboration, queer indigenous feminisms, and race and ecology. In pursuit of these themes, we will discuss influential texts by Donna J. Haraway, Michel Foucault, Achille Mbembe, Bruno Latour, and Mel Y. Chen to name only a few. The study group will also feature invited guest speakers such as artist Robert F. Nideffer, artist and writer Antoinette LaFarge, researcher and scholar Bhavna Shamasunder, and community organizer Sandy Navarro of L.A. Grit Media.
This study group is organized in two parts:
Part I (spring) will take place from March 13 to June 18, 2022. Da Costa's PigeonBlog (2006-2008) project will serve as a point of departure to explore public health and environmental justice. Part II (fall) coming soon.
*Note: A Preemptive Study seeks to build a space for collective thinking. We expect that participants can commit to attending at least 7 of the 8 sessions we host.

The twists and turns of this trail are quite fun to run, and the hill isn't steep enough to slow you down too much. Just keep an eye and ear open for mountain bikers who have equally as much fun on the tight turns and downhill of this trail.
Chainsaw is a fun and varied trail that connects from CR 72 (Elk Creek Road) to Zoom, Flume, and Creekside Trail. The trail starts with an uphill through aspens and remnants of lodgepole pine, making a large, sweeping turn to the west as you climb. The first half mile of the trail is the steepest, and the grade mellows out for the remaining half mile after that. Just after you pass the intersection with Zoom, you'll reach the top of the climb, about one mile in.
From here, the trail is an equally steady descent, winding through a section of forest that has seen a lot of clear cutting due to beetle kill. While not shaded, this section is still pretty as the recovering undergrowth is green and in years when the fireweed blooms, the wildflowers can be quite stunning.
The trail then twists and turns back down into the forest where you can spot columbines growing in the spring. From here, the trail flattens out for about a half mile, coming to an intersection with Flume and then ending after crossing St. Louis Creek on a wide bridge at the Creekside Trail.
Aspens, lodgepole pine, and spruce. Wildflowers such as fireweed and columbines.

Cars, tractors, business, skiing and fixing stuff!
Replaced the power flex and its still there, was thinking it was centre bearings on prop but its there under power and off power. When going over speed bumps and window open you can hear a slight rattle too!
I will look at them too. What am I looking for on the powerflex? Appreciate it's a different material and construction so I'm expecting it to fail differently.
The bush that goes into the trailing arm from the shock on the drivers side is seized solid, could it be this?
Differential mount has been replaced, new back box on in the past month with new hangers all round. Trailing bushes seem fine, the cracks I saw were the induced gaps in their construction. The noise is not constant, it only happens when I go over the slightest deformity in the road surface. Tyres seem fine, top mounts seem fine although I'm going to replace them anyway, just so I'm sure, while I have the trailing arms off. If the noise is still there I'm going to replace the sub frame bushes. Why the name change from idiot?
Dogbones were the very first thing I changed on my car when I got it, I bought them from GSF and only replaced one a few months ago because it was squeaking but I have done nearly 50k miles since then and I've had my car 4 years now.
Hi guys, I have a loud thudding noise coming from drivers back corner. Replaced the dropped links as I saw they were cracked and be the cause of it, but the noise is still there. Whole rear suspension was replaced 24k ago with lemforder top mounts, bilstein shocks and KYB springs and genuine bmw trailing arm bushes and powerflex sub frames. Shocks seem in good order with little rebound and not really much noise when i test them. There is a little crack on the inner most trailing bushes on both axles could this be the cause? If it is the trailing arm bushes I'm really surprised they have gone already although I have been driving quite "dynamically" and they were fitted by an indy BMW specialist who charged me out my a$$ to fit them.
Personal preference but I'd always go Lemforder for anything suspension related as thye have a good name for durability and long life.
I wouldn't know if they were or not. There is a bit of a dull squeak when turning the wheel.
I'm going to put Castrol Systrans B 90W in. Looked on the german castrol site and it says its MLT-2 (or what ever it is called) compliant.

For most of us, we've got too many responsibilities to let burnout and disinterest sap our performance and productivity. So don't.
Tough economic times take a toll on our sleep patterns, which adversely affect all other aspects of our lives, but it doesn't have to be this way.


I have attached a test project which replaces a single Image view every 50ms to force the crash.
I am also facing the exact same issue when when changing the images.
Me too, exactly same call stack, any known workaround for this?
I'm facing the same issue not only when I quickly change images but also when I get for the 1st time on the view where the image should be displayed.
Is there a way to catch this exception ? Or any workaround ?
I have to deliver an app soon and it's a problem.
I'm facing the same issue in both UWP and WindowsPhone 8.1. It majorly happens in Windows Phone 8.1 project. Is this fixed for WindowsPhone 8.1 as well?
I have checked this issue with Xamarin.Forms 2.2.0.5-pre2 and observed that its working fine.
@Samih, @Harikrishnan,  If you getting other issue please filed a separate bug for the same.

Premier Inn: true love is knowing what you're getting
BrandVue's Most Loved Travel & Transport Brands 2022
Craig Strudley Senior Director 17/11/2022
Whitbread-owned Premier Inn is the UK's largest hotel chain, offering more than 72,000 rooms across 800+ hotels. According to data from our latest BrandVue report, Premier Inn is also the UK's most loved hotel chain.
Sheer scale and positive brand image do not always go hand in hand; however, in this case, the largest and most well-known operator is also viewed affectionately by many.
Looking at our Top 100 Most Loved Travel & Transport Brands League Table, Premier Inn places 8th, falling behind ever popular theme parks such as Universal Orlando Resort and Disney World Florida. It is the only hotel brand anywhere near the Top 10, leaving key competitors trailing behind. Travelodge is a distant 48th and other budget hotel brands such as ibis and Days Inn are well outside the Top 100.
So, what is the secret of Premier Inn's continued success?
If we are looking purely at the numbers, all brand metrics are very strong.
The brand is very well known, and the trademark purple decor is recognizable to many of us. According to data from BrandVue, our daily brand tracking tool, Awareness stands at an extremely impressive 97.1%, with only Travelodge (95.4%) coming close.
Of course, a lot of this is down to successful advertising. Premier Inn was the first major budget hotel chain in this country to spend heavily on prime-time TV adverts. Lenny Henry became the face of the brand fifteen years ago and Advertising Awareness tracks strongly and consistently, approximately 15 points above Travelodge month-on-month.
Being the most well-known hotel brand, it is not surprising Premier Inn is also the most talked about, as illustrated by its 'Buzz' metrics on BrandVue. Less than 4% of Buzz for Premier Inn is negative in nature, resulting in net Positive Buzz of nearly 27% in September 2022, nearly double that of Travelodge.
So, Awareness and Familiarity are high, but what about Consideration?
Again, the brand performs strongly. Sixty-three percent of us would consider using a Premier Inn, with less than 4% declaring themselves outright rejectors. Consideration rises as you get older, peaking with those aged 50-59, but this is not a brand purely for the middle-aged – the cost-conscious younger generation also see the appeal.
Converting Consideration to Penetration is often the biggest challenge and, again, Premier Inn wins hands down with 23% stating they have stayed at one of their hotels in the past 12 months.
Awareness and scale certainly help drive Consideration but, returning to the question, what is behind Premier Inn's success? One of the brand's slogans is 'True comfort is knowing what you are getting' and this certainly appears to be a key element. In these uncertain times, consistency, reliability, and certainty are what many of us are looking for and these are all words used to describe Premier Inn.
Premier Inns are described as budget hotels, but a reasonable price does not mean a lack of love. You can find one almost anywhere you want to go, and you know what you are getting. For many this is the most important thing.
However, where Premier Inn falls behind its competitors is with 'Brand Advantage', which measures the percentage of people stating that a brand is 'one of the best' or 'better than most others'. Premier Inn customers know it's not a posh, 'superior' brand (like Savoy or The Ritz-Carlton that take the lead for this metric); but to reiterate, they know what they are getting, and are content with that. Customers are looking for peace of mind and value for money over a superior experience.
Premier Inn has strived hard to cultivate its brand image over the years and BrandVue data suggests its efforts have been very successful. They do the basics well – comfortable beds, high standards of cleanliness, free Wi-Fi, and family friendly. The latter is a key selling point, with Brand Love particularly high amongst those with children.
It's been a turbulent few years for the hotel industry, to say the least, and the challenges keep on coming. Indications are that the cost-of-living crisis will result in people traveling less; however, being regarded as budget hotel and with a high degree of Brand Love, Premier Inn should fare better than most. Indeed, the challenge for Travelodge, ibis and the rest is whether they can close the gap on the key metrics discussed in our report.
We will watch with interest…

Where are you sending your chronic pain patients?
Florida's new opioid law, which took effect July 31, 2018, limits opioid prescribing for primary care and internal medicine physicians, and others who do not specialize in pain management. We want to be your chronic pain management provider of choice.
The law limits you to prescribing Schedule II opioids for acute pain patients for three days. This can be extended to seven days based on your professional judgment, but you must document "ACUTE PAIN EXCEPTION" on both the patient's record and prescription. You must also indicate a lack of alternative treatment, and justify your decision to deviate from the three-day supply rule.
It requires checking a patient's identity and history in the Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (E-FORSCE) before writing each prescription.
It increases penalties for those who provide medically unnecessary drugs: The Florida Department of Health will issue a non-disciplinary citation to a prescriber who fails to consult E-FORSCE before prescribing or dispensing a controlled substance. Subsequent offenses subject the practitioner to disciplinary action by their respective board. It is a first-degree misdemeanor to knowingly fail to report the dispensing of a controlled substance.
It requires a concurrent prescription of an emergency opioid antagonist (e.g. Suboxone) for patients receiving "Schedule II controlled substances" to alleviate traumatic injury pain with a 9+ severity score.
It requires every DEA-registered provider to take a board-approved, two-hour continuing education course as part of licensing in order to continue prescribing controlled substances.
The law is unclear on several points – do you know what to do?
Whether a provider must see a patient in person or can call in a prescription for any controlled substance.
How to prove a "lack of alternative treatment" in order to write a 7-day prescription.
Whether it is necessary to prescribe an emergency opioid antagonist when prescribing a non-opioid Schedule II controlled substance. The law does not make a distinction.
How to comply with the law before the Jan. 31, 2019 continuing education course deadline.
A simple mistake or misunderstanding can cost you a penalty.
Physician Partners of America Pain Relief Group invites you to refer your chronic pain patients to us.
With convenient offices throughout Florida, we are fast-growing leaders in interventional pain management for chronic conditions.
We offer a wide range of interventional pain management treatment and procedures. These include orthopedic and minimally invasive laser spine surgery, injections and nerve blocks, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve stimulation.
Risk assessment evaluations – including a patient questionnaire, UDA, ADB monitoring and reconciliation, and pharmacogenomics.
Antidotes offered with every opioid prescription – PPOA has been writing prescriptions for emergency opioid antagonists since 2013, long before the new law took effect.
Patient convenience – Same-day appointments and transportation are available.
We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your valued patients.

Monogenous algebras. Back to Kronecker.
Abstract : In this note we develop some properties of those algebras (called here locally simple) which can be generated by a single element after, if need be, a faithfullyflat extension. For finite algebras, this is shown to be in fact a property of the geometric fibers. Morphisms between rings of algebraic integersare locally simple. Expanding an idea introduced by Kronecker we show that much ofthe properties (in particular local simplicity) of a finite and locally free A-algebra B can be read through the characteristic polynomial of the generic element of B.

Bayelsa flood: Presidency dismisses calls for minister's resignation
NewsPolitics and Governance
Sinafi Omanga
THE Presidency has dismissed calls for the resignation of Nigeria's Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, by members of House of Representatives from Niger Delta states.
The lawmakers were irked by the minister's claim that Bayelsa, one of the states devastated by floods, was not among the 10 most affected in the country.
Bayelsa State governor, Diri Duoye had also accused the Federal Government of neglecting the state in the wake of the flood disaster.
Demanding the minister's resignation, the lawmaker representing Sagbama Ekeremor Constituency of Bayelsa State, Frederick Agbedi, who spoke on behalf of the other lawmakers from the Niger Delta, said, "We call on the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development to honourably resign her appointment as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, failing which Mr President should relieve her of her appointment immediately.
"We the Niger Delta members of the House of Representatives, strongly and unequivocally condemn in strong terms, the statement credited to the honourable minister as insensitive, unpatriotic and unnationalistic. While we are not denying the fact that other states in the Federation are also affected, the comparison and figures given by the honourable minister show a glaring attempt to downplay the harsh reality on ground."
Reacting on Wednesday, November 9, the Presidency, through the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, dismissed calls for the minister's resignation.
Shehu added that the minister has been working diligently to deliver humanitarian assistance where it was most needed and fill the gaps of disaster responses in several states.
Parts of the statement issued by Shehu read; "The scenes of flooding from Bayelsa State are deeply saddening. The Presidency's thoughts are with victims of, and those affected by the floods.
"However, calls from some quarters for the resignation of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development are not appropriate in this climate.
"The Federal Government is concerned about what has happened in Bayelsa as it is with respect to the other states. No life lost is bigger or lesser than that of the others.
"The challenge of bringing succour to a large number of the displaced people in Bayelsa and other states, the restoration of their damaged property and farmlands washed away have clearly overwhelmed disaster management efforts so far but that is not to say no efforts are being made.
"The huge need for everything from foodstuff to tents, blankets and mosquito nets; antimalarial and other drugs clearly indicate that more resources are needed, not only by the disaster management agencies at the centre but also by those at the state and local council levels that are structural, the first responders.
"The state of Bayelsa has done commendably well but they certainly can do better with increased Federal assistance, which is still being delivered batch by batch.
"Clearly, this is not a time for public reproach. It will only weaken our collective response to the tragedy, and ultimately hinder cooperation that saves lives and delivers emergency aid."
The statement added that almost every state in Nigeria was affected by the floods.

Taveau Church – Berkeley County, S.C.

City Directories and History: Taveau Church is an unusual example of early nineteenth century church architecture. It is a small clapboard Classical Revival structure (Built in 1835), on a low brick pier foundation and has a gable roof with boxed cornice. The front façade is located on the gable side of the roof and features a small pedimented portico supported by four slender wooden Doric columns. A wooden bell tower with a hipped roof rises at the front of the gable roof. The foundations and steps of the portico are brick, although the area between the brick has been filled with concrete block. Both side facades feature a central double-door entrance flanked by two windows on each side. These entrances also feature a 12-light double row transom. All windows are 16/16 with paneled shutters. Taveau Church was constructed ca. 1835 for Martha Caroline Swinton Taveau, on lands of the former Clermont Plantation. After her death in 1847, a black Methodist congregation used the church. In the 1930s Clermont Plantation became part of the larger Mepkin Plantation and the owners of Mepkin, the Luce family, donated the church to the Taveau Methodist Church congregation. A cemetery is included within the acreage of Taveau Church. Listed in the National Register February 14, 1978.
The Cooper River Historic District, which is a 30,020-acre section of the region centered along both branches of the Cooper River, is a remarkably intact historic and cultural landscape. In the mid-eighteenth century, the Cooper River served not only as a principal transportation route for plantation goods, services and people, but also played a vital role in the successful production of rice. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries most of the plantations in the district were acquired by wealthy Northerners looking for a warmer climate in which they could create hunting preserves for their own pleasure and leisure-time activities. These new owners left their mark on the landscape by building stately new residences but they also played an important role in preserving the earlier landscape. Many historic buildings, structures, and objects from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries are still standing, and archaeological remains of settlements, machines, barns, and other structures that supported agricultural activity are generally intact. In addition, landscape features such as rice fields, banks, canals, dams, reservoirs or reserves, causeways, roads, avenues, upland fields, fence lines, and cemeteries – many of them present on eighteenth and early nineteenth century plats and maps – can be seen on the ground today. Numerous outbuildings are also included with several of the properties. Listed in the National Register February 5, 2003. [Courtesy of the SC Dept. of Archives and History]

Films make us think... laugh... and sometimes cry. They are a pastime for many as we escape into a story. They are also educational, broadening our perspective and understanding of the world around us.
Films also mean money and jobs. Locally, the film industry provided more than 4,000 D.C. residents with employment, and another 13,700 in Virginia and 6,900 in Maryland, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. But those are a small portion of the more than 1.9 million jobs the industry supports nationwide.
So how do you attract more films and filmmakers to our region? One is being film friendly, making our local region an easy and attractive place to do business. For starts, D.C., Maryland and Virginia all have film offices set up to draw more movie productions. Another important way to make the region attractive is to cultivate an appreciation for film through film festivals -- which in turn fuel the film economic engine.
That's the goal of the third annual Washington West Film Festival, one of the most anticipated and fast-emerging film festivals in the country. The Northern Virginia-based festival -- taking place October 23-27 -- will be the venue for 41 screenings of new independent and Hollywood films for 2,000 filmgoers.
Last year, the festival screened films produced by Tom Hanks and HBO and hosted red carpet Q&A sessions with actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus and major motion picture director Tom Shadyac. This year, Tom Shadyac and Ed Asner are already committed. Also, in keeping with the festival's vision, all box office net proceeds are donated to a charity that then becomes the subject of a short film debuting at the festival.
The festival is anchored at the Reston Bow Tie Cinemas in the Reston Town Center but screenings will take place in a variety of other locations including the Angelika Film Center in Merrifield. A preview music event at the Artisphere with legendary film music composer W.G. Snuffy Waldenwill set the stage for a great festival, which opens with a screening of Living on One Dollar, a feature documentary that tells the story of four young friends who set out to live on just one dollar a day for eight weeks in rural Guatemala.
To start growing a younger fan base, the festival will host a family screening of Casper and costume party at Sherwood Community Center in Fairfax and show short films produced by George Mason students. Soon we will start offering filmmaking seminars too.
As the region seeks to diversify its economic base, it's through film that we can bring more Hollywood dollars to D.C. Our festival is a small but important step forward in shaping the region as a world class film hub by helping draw great film premieres, provide programs to develop artists and technicians in the film industry, create jobs, and use storytelling as a powerful engine for change and charity.

Blackwell's Case for RNC Chair
Posted: Jan 08, 2009 12:52 PM
In the six-way race for Republican National Committee Chairman every candidate has earned some kind of short-hand description.
There is, in alphabetical order, Saul Anuzis, a tech-enthusiast who never fails to return a phone call or email, the reliably-conservative Ken Blackwell, Katon "the Southern One" Dawson, incumbent Chairman Robert "Mike" Duncan, election expert Chip Saltsman and the charismatic Michael Steele.
Blackwell, however, expanded credentials beyond the conservative endorsements he's gained in a conversation with some writers in a private suite at the Capital Hill Hyatt Tuesday. What many race-watchers gloss over he argued, is his extensive resume and the persuasiveness of the "shareholder's revolt" he's proposed leading among RNC members.
"This is not a corporation, this is a federation I would be running," Blackwell said, criticizing the current structure of the RNC. "It doesn't further the notion of groupthink."
If elected RNC Chairman Blackwell's mission would be to change the culture of the RNC, which he thinks has become too dependent on Washington connections cultivated with the soon-to-be nonexistent Bush Administration. To help make the break, he's pitched RNC members on a new revenue sharing program that would kick-back ten percent of net fundraising proceeds to state parties.
"The whole fundraising apparatus is so inside-the-Beltway oriented that I have seen a true responsiveness to my revenue sharing program," Blackwell said, "No longer are we going to send a staffer to state and then act as if they were my Whip."
Blackwell is also a strong advocate for opening up the RNC's "voter vault" database to members, which helps satisfy the outside pressure for all RNC candidates to become more tech-friendly without riling older RNC members who are turned off by complex tech talk.
"Under the present system with the voter vault there are states who will tell you it's almost inaccessible to them and didn't help them accomplish their goals," he lamented. "Through an open-source system you get the buy-in to technology, but you get the human commitment necessary to drive things."
He's laid all his ideas in a 38-page "Conservative Resurgance Plan" that also hits on themes of financial transparency and greater coordination with state-based think tanks, as opposed to Chairman Duncan's new proposal to create a new, DC-based RNC think tank center.
But what sets Blackwell most apart from the crowd is indeed, what he is most well-known for: being a conservative's conservative.
He spoke frankly about his desire to steer the RNC in a conservative direction, even amid an environment when many politicos say the organization needs to become more moderate in order to compete in future elections.
"We want to know that folks are not going out and embracing candidates who only believe in 20 percent of our platform," he said adding, however that he recognized "the political realities in Rhode Island are different than Mississippi."
He said the GOP platform is "just a collection of papers if people are not living it." When asked how he might influence candidates to embracing the full platform he referred to Rule 11 of the party's rules which prohibits the RNC from contributing money to any candidate who is not formally nominated by the party.
"I might make that a little easier to invoke," he said.

Fighting back: how can communities respond?

Volunteers at a repair cafe in Newburgh.
Posted Wednesday, July 10, 2019 1:26 pm
On a brisk winter day, the Gardiner Library bustled with residents carrying stacks of CDs, side tables with broken legs, lamps in need of repair, old electronics and more. Stations set up for every item—furniture, electronics, antiques—were manned by technicians waiting to fix whatever came their way.
The repair café's mission was to prevent waste, and by extension, help the environment and combat climate change. This was just one of many initiatives created or promoted by partnerships with Climate Smart Gardiner, a program that empowers local residents to fight climate change.
Climate Smart Communities is a state program the helps local municipalities take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. Benefits of the program include leadership initiatives, free technical assistance and access to grants.
Gardiner, Shawangunk, Maybrook, the City of Newburgh, Ulster County and Orange County are registered Climate Smart Communities.
Climate Smart Gardiner has been hard at work. Since its creation in winter of 2018, the taskforce has installed recycling bins in the town park; began the process of converting the town's lighting to LEDs; conducted river cleanups with Riverkeeper; explored community solar campaigns; began the process of installing an electric vehicle charging station, and more.
The taskforce also hosted a Go Green Expo, which featured green technologies that residents can install in their homes. The expo hosted educational speakers and booths to educate residents on actions they can take to be more environmentally friendly.
Climate Smart Member Kim Mayer said education is a key component of the Climate Smart initiatives because it empowers ordinary people to fight climate change.
Grass roots activism at its most basic level, Climate Smart changes local culture by inviting residents to take part in the fight against climate change through green technologies and smart climate practices.
"Climate Smart Communities program is a good program because it empowers individuals to go with their vision of how we can become more carbon neutral," Mayer said.
The Climate Smart program also empowers residents to work with their local governments to fight climate change. Climate Smart Gardiner created a greenhouse gas inventory, a study that evaluated the town's future performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and established targets by which the town can reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
Climate Smart Member Mark Varian said the next phase of the inventory is to take a community inventory of residents', businesses and traffic emissions.
On a county level, Ulster County is a silver certified community, which means the county has completed the steps and actions needed to gain a higher level of certification.
Just a few of many initiatives include incentivizing renewable energy and energy efficient projects, offering compost bins for residents, and implementing a waste reduction education campaign, according to Ulster County's Climate Smart Certification Report. There are only four silver certified communities in the state.
Orange County is a bronze certified community. A few initiatives include lighting upgrades, solar energy upgrades in government buildings, offering recycling to residents, and more, according to Orange County's Climate Smart Certification Report. There are 18 bronze certified communities in the state.
Fighting climate change also means fighting the industries that fuel it. Danskammer Energy plans to revitalize the Newburgh power plant with a new natural gas-fired plant. While Danskammer CEO William Reid said the plant will reduce emissions from the old plant by between 80 and 90 percent, the project faces fierce opposition against local organizations for its potential environmental impacts.
Environmental Director for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Manna Joe Greene said the project would continue the region's dependence on fossil fuels—non-renewable energy that produces greenhouse gases—when it should be investing in clean, renewable energy.
"Many people oppose it because it's new fossil fuel infrastructure," Greene said.
Clearwater is part of a coalition of organizations that oppose the project. The coalition organizes residents against the project, attends public meetings and encourages members of the public to attend, and works with local and state representatives.
Residents have turned out in force to oppose the project at various public meetings, especially in the City of Newburgh. The Village of New Paltz village board and the City of Newburgh city council have both passed resolutions against the project.
While much of the opposition is centered around the use of fossil fuels, residents are also concerned about impacts to water and air quality.
Climate Smart Member Jason Mayer said what prompted him to take action was his desire to create a better future for his children. The effects of climate change are potentially catastrophic and threaten future generations' quality of life.
There are 253 registered climate smart communities in the state. Mayer said the collective action of each resident and municipality adds up to make a bigger impact than one individual.
"These little drops in the bucket add up," Mayer said.

HBO app from Samsung offers The Sopranos on tap
Paul Lamkin · 16 March 2011
It's been a big day for Samsung's Smart TV video on demand platform. Over in the electronic giant's homeland of Korea, a 3D TV VOD service has been announced and now, over in the US of A, a hook up with HBO has been revealed.
The partnership will mean that HBO subscribers, who also own a Samsung Smart TV or Blu-ray machine, will be able to tap into entire seasons of the likes of The Sopranos and Sex and the City, Boardwalk Empire and True Blood from the very beginning, as well as having access to HBO documentary films, HBO sports and blockbuster movies.
"Our HBO GO application is a perfect fit for the Samsung Apps platform, providing an excellent value proposition to both HBO subscribers and Samsung customers," said Bernadette Aulestia, SVP, Domestic Network Distribution & Marketing at HBO.
"By streaming HBO GO content directly onto a Samsung TV, we deliver exactly what consumers want - on demand, quality entertainment at no additional charge to HBO subscribers."
Over here in the UK, Sky has signed a £150 million deal for exclusive rights for HBO programming and Sky Anytime+ users can currently access certain HBO shows on-demand using their Sky HD+ boxes.
But the full range of HBO programming on tap - that we'd like to see.

Pharma millionaire is suing four hunters for $7 million, results will have a huge impact
Thread starter annabenedetti

like marbles on glass
This is a crazy story:
A pharma millionaire is suing four hunters for $7 million, and the results will have a huge impact
OnX is an app that's intended to help hunters find public land so they can go after deer, elk, or whatever they happen to be hunting. At first glance, that may not seem like news, but users of that app get an invaluable view of just who owns the property around them, which is critical when trying to reach public lands where hunting is legal. They have also gotten a very clear view of something that is otherwise hidden from the public: how corporations, millionaires, and billionaires have blocked out huge chunks of public property so that they alone can access it—without paying a dime.
They do this by creating public land "islands," areas that are surrounded by privately held property. The public lands in these islands become de facto parts of the surrounding property. In most states, there is absolutely no rule that says the property owners have to do anything to allow access to that island of land.
Now, in what may be one of the most egregious case of someone using their power and wealth to bully both local residents and officials, drug company executive Fredric Eshelman—net worth $380 million—is trying to make the situation even worse. He's trying to block off huge areas of land even when he doesn't surround them, by pressing a case that would make it much easier to prevent the public from reaching public land.
In the process, Eshelman is trying to financially destroy four hunters for "trespassing," even though they literally never set one foot on his property. The outcome of this case will affect not just hunters and fishermen, but hikers, bird watchers, artists, photographers, and anyone who simply wants to access land that belongs to all of us.
As The New York Times reported on Saturday, the OnX app is at the center of the controversial case now being tried in Carbon County, Wyoming, because that app was used by Missouri bow hunter Bradly Cape in plotting how out he would access the public lands around Elk Mountain in Wyoming.
Well aware of how prickly many land owners are about hunters crossing their property, Cape located an area of "checkerboard" control. That is, the land is divided into one mile-by-one mile sections, half of which are public property, half of which are privately owned, like the black and white squares on a checkboard.
At one place on this checkboard map, Eshelman controlled two squares that met at a corner. The other two squares were public property. Using OnX, Cape mapped out the exact location and led three friends in stepping across the corner from one public square to the other. They not only didn't step on Eshelman's land, the area of his property they crossed was infinitely small. Not one state has laws against this "corner crossing," which is common in areas where grants of public land were once given to railroad companies in an effort to "open up" the West.
Legally, Eshelman can't run a fence across that corner. So instead he installed "no trespassing" signs at the corners of each of his squares, leaving only a few inches in between (a photograph of the signs is in the Times article). But in a return visit the hunters, aware of the signs after scouting the location, brought with them a specially constructed short ladder, allowing them to hop over the space between the signs . . . .
It's Public Land. But the Public Can't Reach It.
A navigation app that illuminates public land within privately held property has supercharged the question of who gets to go where.

Chris Pratt Is on the Daniel Fast — a Nutritionist Weighs In
Leah Grothupdated on January 16, 2019
Leah Groth
Leah Groth is a writer and editor currently based in Philadelphia. She has covered topics such as entertainment, parenting, health & wellness for xoJane, Babble, Radar, Fit Pregnancy, Mommy Nearest, Living Healthy and PopDust.
Chris Pratt is basically the superhero of dieting. After famously shedding 60 pounds in six months for his role in "Jurassic World" back in 2014, the 39-year-old star has shamelessly (and hilariously) shared every last detail regarding his weight loss strategies, which have included staving off beer, only eating super healthy snacks — such as sashimi, cucumber egg wraps and a cacao, baobab, banana and chia seed shake — and even partaking in the trendy intermittent fasting trend.

So it only makes sense that the actor would kick off 2019 by embarking on a new dietary adventure. This time around Pratt is going with something a little more extreme, unusual, and even has a spiritual and religious element to it. It's called the Daniel Fast, and it basically involves fasting like people in the Old Testament.

"OK. Hi. Chris Pratt here," a sweaty Pratt began in his Instagram Story announcing his dietary conquest. "Day 3 of the Daniel Fast. Check it out. It's 21 days of prayer and fasting and it's going to coincide also coincidentally with the "Lego Movie 2" junket. So, by the time you see me, I'll probably be hallucinating."
So what exactly is the Daniel Fast? The bible-inspired diet is based on the fasting experiences of the Old Testament Prophet Daniel. Pratt, a devout Christian, likely isn't doing the fast just to lose weight. According to one website promoting the diet, "hundreds of thousands of followers of Jesus Christ will enter into an extended period of prayer and fasting" on January 6th or January 13th as part of the "The New Year Fast." So his timing totally makes sense.
As far as fasts go, it's pretty intense. While only a partial fast (meaning some foods are eaten) it is seriously restrictive. The list of foods to avoid include all meat and all animal products, leavened bread, dairy, processed foods, iodized salt, sweeteners, oils and most beverages (other than water, vegetable juice and homemade nut milk), so there aren't many options when it comes to eating.
The intention of the fast isn't to lose weight. It is actually meant to bring an individual closer to God, hence Chris' declaration that he is going to be doing a lot of praying. However, weight loss is an inevitable side effect, according to nutritionist Keri Gans, MS, RDN, CDN.
Gans maintains that the "overly restrictive diet" will definitely help shave off pounds, but believes the costs may outweigh the benefits. "It is basically a very strict vegan diet that also promotes mostly organic foods, no alcohol, no caffeine, and besides water, limited beverages that are home-made only, such as almond milk and coconut kefir," she explains to LIVESTRONG.
Gans also points out that technically, since nothing processed is allowed, tofu and tempeh (common vegan sources for protein) are also eliminated, and could translate to deficiencies in protein as well as other vitamins and minerals.
"I highly suspect that it is unsustainable if you want to meet your daily nutritional needs, especially in protein and may cause nutritional deficiencies in the long run," she adds. Furthermore, she believes it would be difficult to follow and maintain if you had any type of social life.
However, completing the three week fast might have some health benefits. According to one study, the Daniel Fast improved several risk factors for metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
Bottom line? Before starting any restrictive diet — even if it is inspired by Jesus or endorsed by a celebrity — you should always consult with your physician first to determine whether it is a good fit.

Pokemon Go just hit $2 billion in revenue
Gotta catch them all. "Them" being dollars. A lot of dollars.
Mark Serrels
Sept. 25, 2018 6:26 p.m. PT
Pokemon Go launched in July 2016 and drove the entire world crazy for a month or two, but it's largely been out of the headlines ever since.
Here's what you don't know: The game is still doing well. Extremely well. In fact Pokemon Go has been quietly accumulating tremendous amounts of revenue and -- just recently -- passed the $2 billion mark.
According to Apptopia estimates in a blog post Monday, it took Pokemon Go just 811 days to hit $2 billion in in-app purchases, the third fastest mobile game to do so. For reference, it took 302 days for Pokemon Go to make its first billion, which speaks to the remarkably long tail the game has. Despite being out of mainstream headlines, the game has been quietly making a ton of money for its creator Niantic.
Niantic didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
People are still playing and spending money on Pokemon Go. In August it was the third highest grossing mobile game in the US. In June this year it hit its highest active player count since its launch in July 2016.
Gotta catch 'em all indeed.

Q: How to watch my Thread variable from Main class? I have that code:
Main class:
public class myTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

   try {
        Thread t1 = new myThreadClass("thread 1");
        t1.start();
    } catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(glownyTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(glownyTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

 }
}

My Thread class
public class myThreadClass extends Thread {

private HashSet<String> texts = new HashSet<String>();

public myThreadClass(String id) throws UnknownHostException, IOException {}

@Override
public void run() {
     ... collecting Strings into my hashSet ....
}

public HashSet<String> getTexts() {
    return texts;
}
}

My Thread class is watching for network traffic, so I just cant call once
t1.getTexts()

whenever I want, because my hashSet can be empty (there are delays and latency in this network). How can I watch this texts hashSet and when some String will be added into hashSet - I i want my MAIN CLASS know about it? I just want to watch my Thread resources from Main class in smart way :)
If it will still be empty after my thread timeout, I want to know about it too.

A: You can use condition variables for this. Try something like:
class Monitor {

    private final ConcurrentMap<String,String> data = new ConcurrentHashMap<String,String>();
    private final Object mutex = new Object();

    /* Private to the monitoring thread. Wakes up other
     * threads, which may be waiting for data to arrive
     */

    public void addElement(String key) {
        data.put(key, key);
        synchronized (mutex) { mutex.notifyAll(); }
    }

    public void removeElement(String key) {
        data.remove(key);
        synchronized (mutex) { mutex.notifyAll(); }
    }

    public Set<String> getElements() {
        return data.keySet();
    }

    /* Can be called from any thread. Will wait at most "timeout"
     * milliseconds
     */

    public boolean waitForChanges(long timeout) throws InterruptedException {

        final long then = System.currentTimeMillis() + timeout;
        long left = timeout;

        synchronized (mutex) {

            while (data.isEmpty() && left > 0) {

                mutex.wait(left);
                left = then - System.currentTimeMillis();
            }

            return !data.isEmpty();
        }
    }
}

class MonitoringTask extends Runnable {

    private final Monitor monitor;

    MonitoringTask(Monitor m) {
        this.monitor = m;
    }

    public void run() {

        while (true) {

            if (somethingHasHappened()) {

                monitor.addElement("foo");
            }
        }
    }
}

class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        final Monitor monitor = new Monitor();
        final MonitoringTask task = new MonitoringTask(monitor);
        final Thread thread = new Thread(task);

        thread.setName("Monitor Thread");
        thread.start();

        if (monitor.waitForChanges(1500)) {

            final Set<String> elts = monitor.getElements();
            ...

        } else {

            // Time-out
        }
    }
}

(I haven't tried to present this to a Java compiler, so watch out for all kinds of mistakes).

Dad's Punishment for Bullying Goes Viral
Newser — Evann Gastaldo
When Matt Cox's daughter got suspended from riding the school bus for bullying—for the second time this school year—the Ohio father decided to take drastic action. Instead of driving her to school as she expected him to, Cox made her walk the five miles in 36-degree weather in Swanton, News 5 Cleveland reports.
(He broke up the miles over her three-day suspension, 13 ABC explains.) In a video filmed while he followed slowly behind her in his car, Cox says, "So children, if you're watching this, please understand that bullying is unacceptable." Cox posted the video to Facebook—where it has been shared more than 350,000 times since Monday.
Cox says that while the 10-year-old was upset when she started the walk, he talked to her during it, and by the end she had calmed down.
"UPDATE: lesson learned!" he later wrote in the video caption. "Still has all her extremities intact is happy and healthy and seems to have a new outlook on bullying as well as a new appreciation for some of the simple things in life she used to take for granted." He tells News 5 he was "shocked" when the video went viral.
He had initially only shared it with friends and family, but made the post public after a friend asked to share it. He later read all three of his children some of the comments on the video that related stories of bullying and the impact it can have.
Though many are on board with Cox's disciplinary strategy, not all are, reports the BBC, which rounds up some of the comments on Cox's video.
"Humiliate her by putting her on Facebook being punished. Irony," wrote one person.
