Harvey relief survives as part of legislation reopening federal government

WASHINGTON — It was a middle-of-the-night budget vote that divided both parties, even as a bipartisan group of Texas lawmakers kept a united front — bound by their support for a federal aid package speeding recovery dollars for communities hit by Hurricane Harvey.
Republicans and Democrats representing the storm-torn Gulf Coast were compelled to overlook their ideological doubts about the deal in voting to end the second government shutdown of the Trump presidency — thus assuring an $89.3 billion disaster aid package for Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and other areas hit by a series of floods, fires and hurricanes last year.
The bill will allow more money to flow more quickly for everything from flood control programs to reconstruction efforts for homes, businesses, roads and transit systems. It even includes a provision bolstering cotton programs that Texas agriculture groups had long been fighting for.
The 240-186 House vote shortly before sunrise Friday augured the end of what became a seven-hour government shutdown, prompted by one-man filibuster mounted by Kentucky U.S. Sen. Rand Paul — the son of libertarian icon Ron Paul from Lake Jackson, on the Gulf south of Houston.
Four Texas Republicans joined the 67 House GOP members in balking at a deal that increases government spending by some $320 billion, a sum conservatives said would contribute to a trillion-dollar deficit and bloat the national debt.
Of the four — Joe Barton, Jeb Hensarling, John Ratcliffe and Louis Gohmert — only Gohmert, a leading member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, represents a district affected by Harvey.
Three Texas Democrats also joined a total of 119 Democrats in all who also voted against the budget agreement: Joaquin Castro, Lloyd Doggett and Marc Veasy.
They, like many other Democrats, aligned with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who had spoken on the House floor for eight hours in protest of a deal that does not address the legal status of "Dreamers," immigrants brought into the country illegally as children.
Houston Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee, who joined the majority, cited the importance of the storm recovery funds, which were increased from an earlier $81 billion House-approved package.
The action "addresses one of the major priorities facing the nation — that of disaster relief," she said. "Now, we must move forward with the extremely important and urgent business of providing relief to our nation's Dreamers who are living under the constant threat of deportation."
Senate Republican leaders promised a debate on the fate of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) this week.
Houston Republican John Culberson, facing a potentially competitive re-election this year, also backed the agreement providing disaster funds.
"Countless families in District 7 have contacted my office for help after Hurricane Harvey, and I'm relieved to tell them that additional help is finally on the way," Culberson said.
Many Republicans went along with the new spending deal because of the promise of additional military spending, balanced by lesser increases in domestic priorities sought by Democrats.
But for some conservatives the disaster aid package — which is not all earmarked for Texas — was not sufficient to overcome his concerns about deficit spending.
"The vote today for a spending bill that in essence runs up our deficit $1 trillion was an exceedingly difficult one because of some of the things that were cynically put into the bill," Gohmert said. "As a Texan, I support helping those devastated by natural disasters, but asking that we borrow a trillion dollars so Texas can get $25 billion or so is not a good deal."
An earlier vote in the Senate split 71-28, also crossing over party lines. Both Texas U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz voted for the budget deal, though Cruz, citing deficit concerns, said he did so "reluctantly."
Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, was a key figure in whipping up GOP support for the agreement, which was delayed past a midnight government funding deadline because of delay tactics Paul employed to highlight his budget concerns.
Paul rebuffed several entreaties from Cornyn and Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell late Thursday night to allow a vote before the midnight deadline, pushing the final votes into the early morning hours, even though its outcome was not seriously in question.
Cornyn too, had used pressure tactics of his own to help secure addition funding for the victims of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, as well as the California wildfires. After President Donald Trump signed off on the budget deal later Friday, a Cornyn aide said the senator released a hold he had maintained since October on the nomination of Russ Vought for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.
The hold, a Senate prerogative, had been used as leverage with the Trump administration, which originally proposed only a $44 billion disaster aid plan.
Officials in Houston and Austin expressed relief at passage of the much larger congressional aid package.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called it a "crucial step forward" in the recovery efforts from Harvey. "While Texans will continue to struggle in Harvey's wake long after today's vote, our resilient spirit remains strong, and we will continue working at the federal, state and local levels to ensure we emerge from this disaster stronger than ever," he said.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner praised the inclusion of new dollars for projects to combat future flooding.
"The funding emphasis on protection against the next deluge, or storm surge from the Gulf, has been a key part of my plea to the federal government," he said. "Merely funding a recovery would be 'funding for failure' because without flood mitigation projects we'd have to restart the expensive recovery after the next storm."
The new funding, bringing to $140 billion the amount Congress has allocated for nationwide disaster relief since Harvey, includes money for flood mitigation projects, housing and an array of infrastructure repairs.
It includes $23.5 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Relief Fund, the primary funding source to cover the costs of local governments in the immediate disaster response after the storms.
More crucial for Texas, the package provides nearly $17.4 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, money that is largely targeted for projects, including new reservoirs and bayou expansions, to reduce the risk of future damages from flooding and storms.
For Houston, Cornyn said, "that's very significant."
Texas officials also highlighted the importance of $28 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Fund, which provides flexibility for communities to rebuild damages homes, buildings and infrastructure.
The bill also provides $1.65 billion to the Small Business Administration's disaster loan program and $600 million to the Department of Commerce for Economic Development Administration grants for immediate relief efforts and long-term recovery projects.
Nearly $2.5 billion will go to reopen elementary and secondary schools affected by the hurricanes and wildfires, including private schools outside of storm-hit areas that took in students displaced from floods and wildfires.
Another $1.8 billion is dedicated to rebuilding roads, transit systems and aviation assets.
Cornyn said that while much of the money is not earmarked to specific locations, new formulas written into the system of allocating funds should benefit Texas, which was hit first and is now further along in the recovery process.
"This was designed with Texas in mind," he said.
Although Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also negotiated for more targeted funds — including at least $11 billion of the Community Development Block Grants — Texas also is expected to benefit in ways that have little to do with natural disasters.
Under a provision backed by Texas cotton growers, seed cotton will become eligible for a new subsidy program that helps insulates farmers from market losses.
While a host of critics have questioned the inclusion of long-sought commodity subsidies in an emergency disaster relief bill, Texas Rep. Michael Conaway, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, cast it as a necessity for U.S. growers in a global economy.
"From natural disasters to predatory trade practices, America's farm and ranch families face unique and daunting challenges every day," he said. "We have more work to do on their behalf in the farm bill, but today was an important step forward."
But Texas Democrats rejoiced in one Trump spending priority that was not in the budget agreement: border wall funding.
That will likely become a central battle in the upcoming battle over the Dreamers.

The survey will be conducted in direct interviews with export/import sector managers and will be used to determine procedural knots for the Ministry of Trade, Telecommunications and Tourism who will then have clear picture which trade procedures need to be changed, simplified or abolished. The ultimate goal of UNECE activities is to help the Government of the Republic of Serbia to facilitate the process of exporting and importing and support raising the competitiveness of Serbian companies on the foreign markets.
The first results of the research are expected during the first quarter of 2019.

Insurance firms slammed for cashing in on Streetly flood
RESIDENTS have slammed insurance companies who were touting for business just hours after a devastating flood wrecked their homes.
Jonny Greatrex
Sign up to our free email alerts for the top MySuttonColdfield stories sent straight to your e-mail
The huge torrent swept through 150 properties in Streetly, Sutton Coldfield, in the early hours of last Saturday.
The flash flood was caused by a burst water main and ripped down walls, leaving some homes under five feet of water.
It was hours until residents could get back into their houses to assess the damage – but THREE insurance firms were on the scene by then.
One salesman for a Lancashire company, AMPM, admitted stepping into open front doors to leave brochures in water-logged houses. They told potential customers that the firm could handle their claims, subject to fee.
When approached by the Sunday Mercury the agent, who believed our reporter was a homeowner, claimed he could get residents bigger insurance payouts.
He said: "People can claim more with us than with their insurance.
"We have to get down here quick, if we don't they will have got out the insurance company.
"The last thing people want is someone trying to do business, so I just leave the flyers in the house."
AMPM has defended its tactics and claimed two other insurance firms were also touting for flood business at the time.
Many residents have been forced to move out of their homes and now face months of repair work.
They include Rob Markham, 30, who was asleep with partner Helen Deeley, 25, and their 14-month-old baby, Harrison, when the flood hit.
The telephone engineer attacked the insurance firms over their ''ambulance chasing''.
"It's despicable," said Rob. "It's like they are coming round and picking our bones clean.
"I know times are hard but people are trying to make a gain out of our misfortune.''
He added: "We've had to move in with the in-laws for four months.
"That's two months to dry out the house and two more for the repair work to be done."
And fellow resident Graham Merrix, 50, was equally shocked by the insurance tactics.
He said: "It is bad they've come round so soon.
"It's just wrong when people are still cleaning out their homes."
Yet AMPM has denied their salesman was directly employed by them.
Commercial claims director Graham Crumb said: "The person is a contractor who carries some stationery for us. He took it upon himself to brochure people.
"He is not an employee of AMPM, he is one of 10,000 contractors we use.
"We weren't the first service provider on the ground, we were the third one there.
"That is the only time to be there, if you go there the following day you can't help people.
"Our service is free to the end user, we are paid on a scaled process by the industry, we are not paid by the policy holder."
Mr Crumb also distanced himself from the claims that his company could win increased payouts for flood victims.
He added: "If he has said people can increase their claim, he is outside any representation of the company.
"There is a strict code for the presentation of company services. Objectively you can't have more than your insurance company offers, because a brick is a brick."

Q: Query in project I'm a final year eng student. I've decided to do my final project in smart cards.
I want to know whether the smart card's can be used for our personal identification.
For example: it contains of our

*

*personal/contact detail's

*Driving licence info

*PAN card detail's

*Bank info

*Passport detail etc and all the detail's which are required...

I want that card to be our proof. Now-a-day's ration card etc are being used as a proof.
I'm planning that all basic detail's which are considered as a proof for us it should be contained under a single card....... Is this can be implemented ? can you also say how it is?
At least say is my idea good or not.....

A: The Australian government was looking at something like this a number of years ago , see an article here about it - http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/id-cards-to-foil-fraud-terrorism/2006/04/25/1145861349894.html
What you want to do is basically what they were doing but extending it to things like bank details etc, The real problem with an all in one card is security and if someone managed to get a hold or a a copy somehow they that is all the personal info they need for identify fraud / steal a persons money etc.
But as a final year project i think it would be a good thing to look at and see if it is feasible, could have alot of fun with it.

A: Your question is very unclear.
Technically, smart cards can be used to store data (like different "details") and used for authentication (using strong cryptography) and this is exactly what has been done in many countries, like US PIV/CAC or EU eID cards, like in Estonia, where it can be used to prove your driving capabilities or access online banking or vote on elections or travel to other EU countries.
In real life, a "single card to rule them all" will not happen any time soon, as there are several interested parties with different goals, requirements and (profit/lock-in) interests.

DOH supports HFL advocacy on spreading awareness on Lupus
June 23, 2018 hopeforlupusph
On May 30, 2018 Hope for Lupus Foundation reached another milestone as it launched the "Lupus, kayang-kaya ko 'to!" book. This book is written in conversational Filipino with illustrations and photos to make it easy to understand and to be more entertaining to the readers. The thirty-three paged book contains basic information on what is lupus, i.e., symptoms, causes, treatment, coping with lupus, complications arising from lupus, lupus in children, lupus during pregnancy, and other frequently asked questions. This book is an abridged version of "Living Better with Lupus". "Living Better with Lupus" is a comprehensive reference and self-help book about lupus, which was authored by Cong. Emmeline Aglipay-Villar, Dr. Evelyn Osio-Salido, Dr. Geraldine Zamora-Racaza and Dr. Angeling Magbitang-Santiago that was launched last July 2017 and is now available in major bookstores.
"Lupus Kayang-kaya ko 'to!" is written and published with the intention of raising awareness about lupus in the provinces and rural areas and to help those with lupus and their families to cope with the illness. Aside from the book, the Foundation also made a poster containing basic information about lupus, its symptoms and the contact information of HFL. The poster will be posted in all health centers and government hospitals as well.
Following the book launch, the foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Health (DOH) for the free distribution of posters about lupus and the "Lupus, kayang-kaya ko 'to!" book to different barangay health units, government hospitals and other DOH controlled health units. The DOH was represented by Sec. Francisco T. Duque III and the Foundation by Congw. Emmeline Aglipay-Villar, Founder and President of HLF; and the other authors –Dr. Evelyn Osio-Salido, Dr. Geraldine Zamora-Racaza and Dr. Angeling Magbitang-Santiago in the MOU.
The momentous book launch and signing of the MOU was witnessed and attended by the authors of the book: Congw. Emmeline Villar, Dr. Evelyn Osio-Salido, Dr. Geraldine Zamora-Racaza and Dr. Angeling Magbitang-Santiago together their families, friends, HFL incorporators, lupus warriors and some press people. Present during the book launch are Sec. Mark Villar with their daughter Emma Therese; Rt. Gen. Edgar and Mrs. Marinette Aglipay; Former Sen. Manuel Villar; Mr. Dioceldo Sy of Ever Bilena; Mr. Paolo and Ms. Camille Villar and HFL incorporator Melanie Cuevas.
The MOU with the DOH is a remarkable progress for HFL to realize its vision to have a world without Lupus by promoting early detection and proper medical treatment to help people win the fight against lupus.
Lupus, kayang-kaya ko 'to!" will be available for free in all health centers and government hospitals all over the Philippines.

Q: Why does this simple select statement require quotes? Why does the following statement
select * from expertrule where rule_id = '1';

Return this error
ORA-00904: "RULE_ID": invalid identifier

While
select * from expertrule where "rule_id" = '1';

works!
The same goes for every column of the table (and only this table).  All the columns in this particular table require quotes surrounding their names.  Why?
  CREATE TABLE "TEST"."expertrule"
   (    "rule_id" NUMBER(*,0),
    "name" VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
    "description" VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
    "ruleaccess" VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
    "ruledisable" VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
    "userssn" VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
    "departmentid" VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
    "active" CHAR(1 BYTE)

  TABLESPACE "TESTTABLESPACE" ;

A: You created your column with double quotes, so now Oracle requires you to always refer to this column using identifiers and respecting the case. If you remove the double quotes, Oracle always transforms the name to upper case, so without them it is case insensitive.
This will work if you created the column without identifiers:
where rulE_id
where RULE_ID

Also when creating a table, quotes are not required, unless you use reserved words.

10 Fascinating Facts About Louisa May Alcott, Author of Little Women
Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) may be best known as the author of Little Women and its sequels, but there was more to her than these genteel (yet gently subversive) domestic tales. The fascinating facts about Louisa May Alcott that follow might surprise those who don't know a lot about the woman behind Little Women.
From her teen years on, Louisa was determined to make a living as a writer. She became the Alcott family's primary breadwinner at a young age, mostly by writing and selling anonymous thrillers, or what she called "blood and thunder" tales.
And from there her writing life unfolded, often in unexpected ways. She was a complex woman whose views were reflected in her literary output.
She never went to school and grew up "free-range"
Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, Louisa grew up in Boston and then in Concord, Massachusetts. In a sketch of her childhood, she recalls the delights of "running away" and being allowed to wander around Boston by herself from a very young age.
Always self-identified as a tomboy, she adored running and even wrote that she "must have been a deer or a horse in some former state, because it was such a joy to run." She never had a formal education other than getting lessons from her father, yet she grew up absorbing the world she grew up in.
Louisa wrote thrillers to help support her family
Especially at the start of her writing endeavors, Louisa produced a large body of thrillers (otherwise known as gothic or sensational tales) whose sales supported her family. Amos Bronson Alcott was an impractical philosopher without any talent for earning money.
Her beloved mother, Abigail May Alcott, did whatever work a woman could get to put food on the table. Louisa wanted nothing more than to ease her "marmee's" burden.
Using various pseudonyms, Louisa seemed to take perverse pleasure in dark themes, returning to the genre even after financial need no longer compelled her to do this sort of formula writing. The first modern compilation of what Louisa called "blood and thunder tales" was Behind a Mask: The Unknown Thrillers of Louisa May Alcott, published in 1975.
She promoted women's rights and abolition
Her views were often expressed by the female characters in her books, strong young women who wanted more from life than to get married and have babies. Louisa May Alcott expert Susan Bailey explains that: "Louisa's feminism was based on autonomy – the right of every woman to be autonomous, the freedom for each woman to realize her true potential as a whole person."
Louisa contributed to a women's rights periodical in the 1870s. At the end of the decade, Massachusetts passed a law allowing women to vote in local elections. Louisa registered at once, becoming the first woman to vote in Concord.
She and her family were also ardent abolitionists, a view that was not as widely popular in relatively liberal Massachusetts as one would think. Her father had been one of the earliest abolitionists, having joined the American Anti-slavery Society with William Lloyd Garrison. One of her early memories was of the fugitive slave whom her mother had hidden in their oven.
Louisa served briefly as a Union nurse during the Civil War
"I WANT something to do," she wrote of her desire to contribute to the Union Army's effort. If women had been allowed to serve as soldiers, Louisa would have surely taken up arms.
But as it was, the only direct way women could serve was to volunteer as nurses, and that's just what she did, dispatching herself to serve at the Union Hotel in Washington, D.C., which had been turned into a makeshift hospital.
Not even a month into her service, Louisa came down with typhoid pneumonia, complete with a horrendous cough and a high fever. She was taken home and suffered a long, grueling recovery; the illness may have caused permanent damage to her health. Yet from her brief stint, Louisa was able to convert the journals she kept into a book called Hospital Sketches, which was a modest success.
She was reluctant to write a "girl's story"
The first novel Louisa published under her real name was Moods. Published in 1864, it followed the modest success of Hospital Sketches. But the reception of Moods was disappointing.
Tired of churning out sensational tales, Louisa felt a bit adrift as a writer. In 1868, her publisher offhandedly asked her to try writing a "girls' story" for their list. She cranked out the semi-autobiographical (albeit idealized) novel in two and a half months, though her heart wasn't in it.
At first, neither Louisa nor her publisher thought the book was in any way remarkable. Yet it truly was an overnight success, with no one more surprised Louisa, who came to appreciate its merits.
Many women writers have been inspired by the fictional Jo March
Jo March, the standout sister among the quartet in Little Women, is one of the most iconic and influential female characters in literature. Tomboyish and ambitious, with a bit of a temper, she was an idealized alter ego of her creator, Louisa May Alcott.
Many women writers, famous and otherwise, have named named Jo as a major inspiration. Here are 10 of them, from Simone de Beauvoir to Patti Smith.
Louisa was alarmingly naïve about her sexuality
Despite all that she'd seen in life, Louisa confessed in an 1883 interview: "I am more than half-persuaded that I am a man's soul, put by some freak of nature into a woman's body … because I have fallen in love in my life with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man."
Perhaps unknowingly, the repressed nature of her sexuality helped her avoid the circumscribed path of marriage and motherhood, and allowed her to view the institution dispassionately.
One of her thrillers was rediscovered and published in 1995
A Long Fatal Love Chase (1866) stands squarely in the "woman in peril" genre — it's a chilling portrait of a woman being stalked by an unstable husband. This novel would be the longest and last of Louisa's "sensation tales." Written under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard, it would take nearly 130 years for it to see the light of day again, and to be attributed to its now-famous author.
Thriller master Stephen King, reviewing A Long Fatal Love Chase in the New York Times, concluded:
"Genius burned for Louisa May Alcott following A Long Fatal Love Chase, brightly but never again with such primitive and joyful heat.
One wonders what kind of writer she might have been had she been able to cast the malignantly conventional spirit of Professor Bhaer from her, and to take her thrillers as seriously as her feminist editors and elucidators do today."
She raised her sister's daughter for nine years
May Alcott Niereker, the youngest Alcott sister (loosely portrayed as Amy in Little Women), trained as an artist in Europe (subsidized by Louisa's earnings). There she met a man, married, and had a daughter.
May died within a year of giving birth. Louisa earned the father's family's consent raise the child. Adopted at the age of two, the little girl was her Aunt Louisa's namesake (and nicknamed Lulu).
Louisa herself never married nor had her own children, yet from all accounts, the nine years they spent together were happy ones. It was Louisa's death that ended this lovely and unexpected journey into parenthood.
Louisa may have had lupus or another autoimmune disease
Louisa was 55 years old when she died of a stroke in Boston in 1888, her death following just two days after her father's. She'd long been in poor health, which she and others blamed on the mercury-laced medicine she took for the typhoid fever contracted while serving as a Civil War nurse.
However, modern scholars have had other theories for her chronic illness, which included headaches, skin rashes, vertigo, rheumatism, and other symptoms compatible with lupus or other autoimmune diseases.

Disney and Halloween are 2 of my favourite loves. Oh and add food in there too but that's for another post. There is a list of things I want to tick off that lives in my head and Disney at Halloween was one of them. I had always visited mid-year around summer. However Tokyo came around late October so I actually got to go to Disney on October 31st! So this is my Tokyo Disney and DisneySea halloween guide.
There isn't a Halloween party like there are in other Disney Parks.
Make sure to watch the Parade. The songs are catchy and the Japanese do like to save there place hours in advance though.
The parade was one of the best parades I have ever watched. It was interactive and catchy theme.It wasn't the longest of parades but it was very well thought out. We watched slightly from afar but because the Japanese take the parades very seriously, people reserved their spots hours before.
There were some ah.maz.ing costumes. I wore a mini mouse inspired outfit but it was nowhere near as fun as some of the parks attendees. From little kids to adults. So many people got invoiced and I was actually really jealous that my 'costume' wasn't full cosplay. I wore a mini mouse inspired outfit, a full circle polka dot skirt and mouse ears of course to top it off.
The Disney decorations were a little more subtle then what I have seen online in the American parks for halloween. They were very classy though, flags with the villains adorned the lights as well as photo opportunities with statues as well as characters in halloween costume.
There were pumpkins hidden everywhere, lots of them on roofs and in some other locations, some lit up when it got dark and glowed. Some were even animated. They sat along side ghouls and ghosts, watching over the park.
The Haunted Mansion was also transformed into a halloween spectacular complete with jack skellington. Now The Nightmare Before Christmas is Disneys scariest movie so of course it gets its own special attention in the weeks surrounding halloween. Brave the queue and enjoy the ride.


Welcome to our monthly feature The PR Desk! Written by PR professional Heather Travis, it guides bloggers on the ins and outs of navigating the world of PR agencies and brands. This month, Heather explores using the concept of "think global, blog local" for your blogging brand.
We've all heard the saying, ''think globally, act locally"; well who knew you could apply this same logic to your blogging brand?! Yes, it's time to think global, blog local, my friends.
As content creators and influencers seeking to grow our brands we often seek out the biggest fish to partner with. With good reason too! Working with the big national (or multi-national) brands means they usually have great budgets, they usually have large social media presences to amplify your content, and working with them adds instant cred to your blogger status. All of this is great.
Here's the downside. Everybody wants to work with them. Which means your voice is just one of the crowd and you get lost in the clutter. And if we learned anything at FBC2015, it's about finding your niche.
Guess what? Your niche might just be your very own neighbourhood.
Before we chat about the benefits of blogging local for your brand, let's first address the elephant in the post: compensation.
Working with local partners like restaurants, markets, small farm producers, or independent artisans means they won't likely have a big budget, if any budget at all. I encourage you to think bigger picture and longer term for these relationships (well, all relationships actually!).
A feature on five restaurants within five blocks of your home might give you five great date night meals and have oodles of local search traffic finding your post, boosting your readership and getting you known as a go-to resource for great local restaurant reviews and photos. Maybe they also provide your name to the local BIA (Business Improvement Association) as a recommended promotional partner. Maybe the BIA hires you to provide new photos for the website. Maybe the increased traffic to your site boosts your revenue from ads, or allows you to boost your rates for the bigger fish partners. And maybe it leads to much bigger opportunities down the road. Think big, start small.
There are lots of great examples of bloggers who followed this route and, as a result of blogging locally, now add eating globally to their resume (both literally and metaphorically).
Joel and Dana from Well Preserved — Joel and Dana started off very local with their Kitchen Parties in Toronto and their food philosophy is all local, but they've grown it into a global subject and recently published a cookbook, Batch.
Meghan Telpner — Meghan started off blogging and doing local TV appearances, while teaching cooking classes in her Toronto loft kitchen. Now she has two best-selling books and an on-line culinary academy with students all over the globe (32 countries currently).
Mijune Pak of Follow Me Foodie — Mijune started out reviewing Vancouver restaurants and now, as a result of her hard work and proven track record, she travels all over the world for culinary tours and events.
Tiffany Mayer of Eating Niagara — Tiffany is extraordinarily passionate about the Niagara region and showcasing its culinary scene. What once was a passion project became a passionate life with a book deal, steady freelance writing work and her recently launched food-related podcast, "Grub."
We all need to learn to walk before we can run, and blogging locally is a great way to build our brands. If you deliver quality content the world is your oyster.
Heather will be running a session at FBC2016 on Key Messaging For Bloggers – How To Get Your Message out to Readers, Brands and PR Agencies. Brittany Stager will be running a session on Visual Branding for You and Your Blog. You'll learn everything you need to know about getting your personality and message out to the people you want to reach!

Report: Free Radical Lays Off 140, Sees Buyer Interest
January 2, 2009 | By Leigh Alexander
More: Console/PC
Timesplitters developer Free Radical's bankruptcy administration has now officially resulted in the layoffs of some 140 staff members, reducing the studio to about 40 employees.
Resolve Partners is currently handling Free Radical's administration, and administrator Cameron Gunn tells local website This Is Derbyshire that the Sandiacre, UK-based developer has received "interest" from a number of possible acquirers.
"We are inviting all interested parties to come forward," says Gunn. "Significant interest has already been shown and we are hoping to make further announcements by the middle of January."
Free Radical, also developers of Haze and Second Sight, were at one point working on an unnamed title for LucasArts, believed to be Star Wars: Battlefront III. Indeed, this Is Derbyshire reports that "a Star Wars game for LucasArts... fell through after two years of development".
The company was also working on Timesplitters 4, its wholly-owned IP, and it's believed that a combination of the cancellation of the Star Wars title and a lack of publisher for Timesplitters led to the company's collapse.

Top Citi analyst Tom Fitzpatrick sent KWN this note on March 9th, when he turned bullish on commodities: The Continuous Commodity Index (CCI) rallied through the top of the channel and has a reverse head and shoulders pattern that targets 395. We started following this US dollar index about a year or so ago which has a more equal weighting of different currencies than the $USD. If you recall the Standard US dollar index ($USD) was testing a major inflection point in May around the 92 area earlier this year. During the 2000-2002 market drop, there was a negative correlation between the S&P 500, DJIA, and NASDAQ with the HUI, meaning when the indices dropped, the HUI or gold stocks increased. The Bank of Japan decided at its July 28–29 meeting to boost its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to an annual rate of 6 trillion yen, almost double the previous rate of 3.3 trillion yen. The ETF purchase program has the apparent objectives of improving market confidence and stimulating consumer and business spending. The German government said today that it won't get in the way of the $5-billion acquisition by Chinese appliance maker Midea of Germany's high-tech-industrial darling, Kuka Robotics Corporation.

Q: How to plot multiple scatterplots with trendlines as subplots using Plotly I'm trying to stack 12 interactive plots showing OLS result and the scattered X and Ys. However, I found it incredibly more difficult than I thought. I successfully drew a single OLS plot (fitted line + scatters) in multiple ways, but putting them together is another story.
So my dataset looks like this:

ID
tmax01
tmax02
tmax03
...
ap_tmax01
ap_tmax02
ap_tmax03
ap_tmax04

0
1.12
5
17
19
1.10
4.5
12
xxx

2.1
2.79
20
Na

3.5
16

26
6
8
10.7
xxx

4
-0.5
1
9
14
1.0
12
15
xxx

And my 12 OLS models are: tmax01 = beta* ap_tmax01 + e; tmax02 = betaap_tmax02 + e; tmax03 = beta ap_tmax03 +e, etc.
For one plot, I could use:
fig4=px.scatter(df, x='ap_tmax01', y='tmax01', trendline="ols")
fig4.data[1].line.color = 'red'
fig4.show()

, and the result is:

And I could also use
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
df = df[df['tmax01'].notna()]
df = df[df['ap_tmax01'].notna()]
X = df.ap_tmax01.values.reshape(-1, 1)

model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, df.tmax01)

x_range = np.linspace(X.min(), X.max(), 100)
y_range = model.predict(x_range.reshape(-1, 1))

subfig_tmax01 = px.scatter(df, x='ap_tmax01', y='tmax01', opacity=0.65)
subfig_tmax01.add_traces(go.Scatter(x=x_range, y=y_range, name='Regression Fit'))
subfig_tmax01.show()

And it produced similar results.
However, when I tried to stack 2 model results, I got:

where the fitted line are composed of points. The code I used (which was copied from StackOverflow, pasted, and edited with my best knowledge) was:
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

from plotly.subplots import make_subplots

fig5 = px.scatter(df, x='ap_tmax01', y='tmax01', trendline="ols")
fig6 = px.scatter(df, x='ap_tmax02', y='tmax02', trendline="ols")

fig56 = make_subplots(rows=2, cols=1)

for d in fig5.data:
    fig56.add_trace((go.Scatter(x=d['x'], y=d['y'],  mode='markers')), row=1, col=1)

for d in fig6.data:
    fig56.add_trace((go.Scatter(x=d['x'], y=d['y'],  mode='markers')), row=2, col=1)

fig56.show()

I'd like to know if there is a good way to draw them without making the fitted lines being made of points, change the legends to the regressed variable names, and make the scattered points showing observation IDs. Thanks!

A: If you transform the data a little, you can include facet_row() in the px.scatter() call to make a facet / trellis plot like in the figure below with this setup:

The 'why' behind running seven marathons in seven days on seven continents
by: Walt Buteau
Posted: Sep 2, 2017 / 02:16 AM EDT / Updated: Jun 18, 2018 / 10:50 PM EDT
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) There's nothing lucky about this factor of seven.
Seven marathons in seven days on seven continents.
But when Pawtucket's Nick Wishart hits the road in January for the World Marathon Challenge, he will not be running alone.
"On those lonely two hour training runs," he said after a recent workout, "I think about all of the people we can help."
He's finished well in three marathons and has run since he was a teenager. But the challenges of life are in the mix of why he's running this marathon of marathons.
FOLLOW HIS "POWER TO INSPIRE"
His daughter was born a month early and spent her first ten days in intensive care.
"It was mostly just how powerful it was to put everything in their hands," he said, referring to the NICU doctors and nurses. "Just unbelievable, the care that they gave her and how warm they were to us."
That put March of Dimes on the list of charities he'll be running for early next year.
Dude the dog, rescued in the Caribbean by Nick and his wife, prompted him to choose the SPCA.
And the hunger that many face everyday made the Rhode Island Food Bank a good fit for this 183 miles of running.
"And when I go out for my runs, I am really thinking about the people who save dogs. The people who help these little babies. The people who feed the hungry in R.I."
The fourth annual World Marathon Challenge steps off in January in frigid Novo, Antarctica, with marathon number seven in sunny Miami.
"I just thought it be cool to see these cities and to try something that's really hard but not impossible. I feel like if you put in the work, you're most likely going to be fine."
He will no doubt miss the relatively mild conditions of the crossfit gym, and even the highs and lows of Rhode Island weather.
The range of climates includes a freeze of 20-below in Antarctica to 80-plus degree heat in Asia.
"It's like almost sea level everywhere we go. So, no hills and no elevation," Wishart said. "That's the only good thing."
In its three years, 59 out of 60 runners have finished within the eight hours allowed for each marathon.
Wishart has no plans to be the second who doesn't.
"It's like studying for a test. If you do that, you'll be fine."

St. Vrain announces hybrid learning plan
By Katie Langford |
PUBLISHED: July 22, 2020 at 9:32 p.m. | UPDATED: July 23, 2020 at 10:34 a.m.
SVVSD board approves Carbon Valley Academy charter contract for two years
Girls basketball: Erie's Hartel and Legacy's Mortensen shine in Tigers win
Three men indicted in Longmont drug ring targeting St. Vrain students
St. Vrain Valley School District will have a mix of in-person and online learning for all students when school starts on Aug. 18, along with mandatory mask-wearing, stringent cleaning and social distancing measures amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Superintendent Don Haddad presented the hybrid learning model to St. Vrain Valley's Board of Education on Wednesday and will email families, teachers and staff further details of the plan Thursday.
Haddad emphasized the importance of the safety and well-being of students, teachers and staff.
"What we've made a commitment to do since my first communication is to stay closely aligned with the health care professionals, and within what the health care professionals say to us and how they guide us, we are also very, very supportive and interested in providing choices for our families and our staff," Haddad said.
Those choices include fully remote learning for families who do not want their child to attend any in-person classes, Haddad said.
The hybrid education model, in which students learn online part of the week and in person part of the week, will cut class sizes in half or more, Haddad said. Specific in-person and online schedules will vary for elementary, middle and high schools and will be announced Thursday.
St. Vrain is working to group siblings onto the same in-person schedule. "We definitely want to be family friendly and create as much convenience as we can," Haddad said after the meeting.
The school district has worked closely with Boulder County Public Health, Haddad told Board of Education members, and county officials including BCPH Executive Director Jeff Zayach endorsed St. Vrain's return-to-school plan on Wednesday.
The plan includes more online learning than what St. Vrain leaders proposed in June — the previous plan included 100% in-person learning for elementary students, sixth-graders and ninth-graders. Haddad said he's aware that some school districts in the metro area are returning to 100% in-person learning for all students.
"We thought about that and decided to be a little more cautious, and that's why we're looking to cut those class sizes in half and then reduce them again with online (learning) so we can have a strong preventative approach and not just a responsive approach," Haddad said.
The district has also set aside $3 million in case it needs to hire additional full-time employees to reduce class sizes, Haddad said.
The district is also prepared to go fully online for all students if local public health conditions require it, Deputy Superintendent Jackie Kapushion said.
St. Vrain leaders purchased additional technology supplies, like high-powered lenses and microphones, so that teachers can teach live classes for students learning online. One-to-one and small group instruction can still be done in a virtual setting, she said.
"Overall, this is a much more structured approach than in the spring, which was much less scheduled," Kapushion said.
Less structure in the spring was necessary as parents adjusted to at-home learning during the pandemic, she said.
St. Vrain will continue to run school buses for students, Haddad said, out of concern over equity. There will be recess and school meals with social distancing and safety measures in place.
Other safety measures include updating air systems to increase fresh air flow, installing all new air filters and providing free coronavirus tests twice a month to teachers and staff.
The district and Boulder County Public Health are reviewing guidance from the state on how to respond to outbreaks in schools and will provide information on quarantine and isolation protocols soon, Zayach said.
Haddad, Zayach and other district leaders emphasized that there is no perfect plan for reopening schools.
There will be outbreaks in schools, Zayach said, but health officials are planning on how to best reduce the number of outbreaks and the disruption to students, families and schools.
"I believe the plan that SVVSD has put forward at this point meets that reduction of risk," he said.

SVVSD Education Foundation seeks teacher award nominations


Yesterday I took to the woods in the afternoon. It's the first week in about ten years when I don't have any sort of schedule. There is no work calendar hovering in the background, I'm not on vacation for a certain amount of time, there are no appointments to plan around. I'm a free agent, at least for now. So I did what I do when I can do whatever I want – I went to the woods.
Going to the woods is what I tend to do when I am feeling melancholy, unsure, anxious, or angry. It's a place to go when I'm grieving, wondering, lamenting, or stewing about something outside of my control. Basically, going to the woods (or prairie, or ocean, or any other natural area) is healing. It's a place to go in celebration as well, but lately, its role in my days has been one of holding space for what needs to rise from the ashes of what has recently burnt away.
There's a waterfall on the edge of one of the state parks close to my house. It's fed by a natural spring, and the grounds where it sits used to be the old Silverbrook estate and laboratory, now only evident in some old stone foundations and crumbling pillars. I hiked down the steep trail from the access road to the spring as a gentle dusting of snow fell, the cold wind piercing my skin and whistling through the white pine trees that dot the landscape. I watched the crystal clear water bubble up from the earth for a while, meandered around the pond full of bright green watercress, and felt myself melt into the rhythm of the forest as I walked deeper into the trees. After emerging from the forest trail, I made my way over to the waterfall and marveled at its powerful cascades as they crashed into the rocky ravine below. I followed the waterfall's creek further down the ravine to the St. Croix River and watched it fade into the larger body of water, now partially frozen as the cold temperatures take hold. As I hiked back up to the main trail, I looked to my right and stopped.
There on the larger boulders on either side of the creek, someone had built three huge rock cairns. The largest was closest to the trail, and it was taller than me, the stones increasingly smaller as they found balance on their neighbor. And the stone on top was huge, yet there it was, perched just so and not going anywhere. The other two were closer to the stream of cascading water, and smaller but no less well-balanced, the stones in varying sizes and shapes, each placed in exactly the right spot to maintain the structure. I could imagine the person who made the cairns searching for just the right rocks to place, and then one by one patiently placing each stone in just the right way. I imagined that it probably took quite awhile to construct each one, and I found myself wondering how long they'd last. I wondered how many times they toppled before the right balance was found.
Somehow seeing these rock cairns reminded me of the things that can help with regaining balance in a time of searching through murky waters or walking over a path strewn with erratic boulders. They reminded me of the patience it can take to create something that works. They reminded me of the delicate and often unusual beauty that pervades everything in nature and in a human life. They reminded me that things can shift instantly, in any direction. They reminded me that there is a lot that remains outside of my control and that I often don't get a say in what happens. And they reminded me that I get to choose what sorts of things I want in my life, whether it's in the form of perception or situation, and they reminded me I get to place my own rocks where they need to be to feel solid. Even if they fall sometimes, and even when what used to feel like the "right balance" shifts.
I came to the woods to lose myself in the rhythm of the woods and waterfall, and I did. But I also gained some reassurance that the right balance doesn't always look how I think it should, and it can take a while to find the placement of the pieces that make up a life.

A Nagy magyar helyesírási szótár () 2002-ben jelent meg a Szalay Könyvkiadó kiadásában (Pannon-Literatúra Kft., Kisújszállás).

A címében szereplő "nagy" szó arra utal, hogy készítői az elérhető legnagyobbnak szánták: 515 oldalán 36 145 címszót, valamint 116 009 szókapcsolatot és toldalékos alakot tartalmaz (ez azonban még mindig alatta marad a 2004-es Osiris-féle Helyesírásban feldolgozott 213 974 szóalaknak). Szakmailag dr. Szathmári István nyelvész, professor emeritus ellenőrizte; ajánlása a könyv hátsó fülén olvasható.

Bevezetője szerint általános céllal készült: diákoknak és átlagembereknek éppúgy, mint különféle szakmák, tudományágak művelőinek. A szótári tételek gyakoribb szókapcsolatai és összetételei mellett tájékoztat a tulajdonnevek ‑val/‑vel ragos és melléknévképzős alakjáról.
Eligazít a nehezebb elválasztású szavak (tulajdonnevek, idegen és összetett szavak) megfelelő alakjáról, az elterjedtebb hazai és más nyelvi mozaikszók terén (feloldásukat, jelentésüket és ragozott alakjukat is megadva), valamint – helyesírási szótáraktól szokatlan módon – a gyakoribb idegen szavak eredetét és szófaját is közli.

A címszavak félkövér betűvel szerepelnek; a szófaj, az eredet, az elválasztás és a rövidítések feloldása, az értelmezések, példamondatok pedig dőlttel.

Grétsy László az Édes Anyanyelvünk 2003. februári számában ismertette (15. oldal, "Egy új helyesírási szótárról"). Recenziójában elismeréssel szólt róla, csupán három apróbb hibát fedezett fel benne.

After a bad weight cut forced her out of a fight with Andrea Lee this past weekend at UFC on FOX 31, Jessica-Rose Clark has decided to move back to up women's bantamweight.
It's the second time Clark has missed weight for a fight at 125-pounds, previously stepping on the scale three-pounds over when she fought Bec Rawlings in November 2017. Talking in a video she uploaded to her YouTube channel, Rose-Clark discussed in detail the her weight cut that went wrong.
"I feel bad for Andrea. She's had a really tough year as well and I know she was relying on that money. I'm just grateful, I got told that UFC still paid her her show fee so I'm glad she still got some money out of it and I've apologized to her personally and spoken to her about it. I know people have been asking about whether there's a chance of her and I getting a rematch in the future, but honestly I'm going to go back to 135.
"I've already spoken to my team about it, I've spoken to my nutritionist, I've spoken to Mick Maynard about it and every single one of them is aligned with the idea that I need to go back to '35. I've never missed weight at '35, I've never even come close to missing. I feel good at '35. The reason I went down to '25 was because of coaches that I had who were telling me that I was too small to be a bantamweight and that I needed to be a fly, but I've tried four times now.
Rose-Clark said originally her weight cut was going fine, but that all changed when she went to the bathroom and passed out. Describing that her coach thought "he had killed her," she was transported to the hospital and soon enough the fight was called off.
Although spending most of her early career fighting at bantamweight, all three of Rose Clark's (9-5, 1NC) UFC appearances have taken place at 125-pounds.


DH: Well, I turned 11 for a set of Halloween 4 and 12 on the set of Halloween some. It was really fun actually. I am how frequently do a person receive to leave school early and go live in a hotel for 2 months, staying up forever long, and eating spaghetti for what cast/crew called "lunch" at 3 o'clock in the morning. Plus, being covered in fake blood, or backing up into the "candy glass" on set which was actually made of sugar and could eat, that was definitely a portion of the stuff I thought was really cool and joy. I got to play yelling and screaming from a Halloween costume, even think it is really Spring. Basically all the issues really expect to to be a kid. You truly don't focus on the truth that you're working, because you're young and achieving so thrilling.

The humanitarian context in Niger is characterized by a combination of factors: food insecurity, malnutrition, seasonal epidemics, flooding and population movements including displacement and migration. It is estimated that 1.9 million people, mainly women and children, will need humanitarian assistance in 2019, of which about 231 000 will need support from health partners.
In the area of the country affected by the Lake Chad Basin crisis, health services, water and other essential services have been disrupted by insecurity and recurrent attacks.
In 2017, 340 000 people are expected to face food insecurity, around 12 000 children will be severely malnourished and almost 45 000 will suffer from moderate malnutrition.
The main objective of the Health Cluster during 2019 will be to reduce morbidity and mortality by improving access to health care and reducing the impact of population movements on the health of the displaced population.

Money is one of the top reasons couples fight and it is one of the leading causes of divorce. In fact, a Citibank survey found that as many as 57 percent of divorced couples in the U.S. cited financial problems as the primary cause of their divorce. But, a new book, called "Your Life & Your Money" says fathers and their partners can reduce arguments and other problems caused by money by appointing a family CFO.
The CFO, or chief financial officer, is responsible for managing the budget and investments for the family.
Creating your family's mission statement is the first step, according to Feher. While deciding on what your family is working towards financially should involve an in-depth discussion with your wife, fathers should realize that, over time, the mission statement may change.
Who should be appointed as the CFO depends on each family and the personalities of each couple. Feher recommends that husbands and wives consider taking turns.

Q: How to pass a latin1 charset associative array from php to javascript? The problem is that I have latin1 charset in db. The default output is utf-8 in php.
even when i am using php iconv, it returns null as the new string is supposedly already utf-8.
Converting DB would need downtime.
I cant use json_encode because the string is malformed utf-8 containing �.
I need an alternative to temporarily fix the issue without having to migrate the db.
I need to transfer the associative array back to JS. I am using Ajax for getting the data.

A: You could convert the encoding, prior to passing the data on to json_encode (which really needs UTF8 encoded strings). Using the mb_convert_encoding function will do:
$utf8String = mb_convert_encoding(
    $sourceString,
    'UTF8',
    '<src encoding>' //in your case: ISO-8859-1
);

Meanwhile, work out a strategy of how you are going to convert your DB to UTF-8, because it'll save you a lot of pain endlessly juggling different encodings throughout your project.

A: Set your driver's encoding (client) explicitely to UTF-8.

Kazakhstan: Government seeks labor market corrections to quell grumbling


F. Lee Bailey is one of the more interesting people you could hope to meet. He represented Jerry in most of his trials and according to Jerry, was worth every penny paid---and it was a lot of pennies. When I first tried to contact Bailey, I had to go through an advertising firm because he had lost his license to practice law and was into another line of work. But that's another story.
Jerry's tales about him were interesting. He said that when Bailey entered the courtroom, you could almost hear a pin drop, and when he began cross-examining witnesses, the prosecutor would move to the edge of his seat. His reputation was such that people went out of their way to accommodate him and his quick tongue and command of the English language would turn witnesses into muttering imbeciles. On one occasion, when Jerry's ex-wife was on the witness stand, Bailey's cross-examination caught her in such a large lie that the prosecutor jumped to his feet and said she had just made him, the prosecutor, a witness for the defense.
Still, Jerry went to prison, but the original deal that Bailey worked out was nothing like what Jerry eventually received. If the feds had stuck to their word, Jerry would be out of prison. But that's another story for another time. For now, understand that no matter what you might think about Bailey, he was one of the best. Like someone told me, if you listed all the lawyers his equal, it wouldn't take long to call roll.
