CultureWorks, the coworking space aimed at improving funding of the arts in Philadelphia, has announced it will open its new Center City coworking space on the first day of October this year.
The announcement comes almost exactly a year after Technically Philly spoke with CultureWorks founder Thaddeus Squire about his plans for the coworking space. The new 4,500 square foot space is in the Philadelphia Building, located at 1315 Walnut Street, as Flying Kite reported. CultureWorks will house the related Hidden City Festival that Squire founded and used to launch historical preservation blog Hidden City Daily. That's also the same location of business analytics firm RJ Metrics and the new headquarters for web design firm Zivtech.
Membership prices range $45-$350 per month depending on how much time you'd like to spend in the space. Currently, though, CultureWorks is accepting applications to join as a founding member, which entails making a "co-investment" of three months worth of dues to be applied to the first three months of coworking once the space opens, according to the CultureWorks site.

The second largest city in Portugal, located on the country's northern coast, Porto, has a mixed temperate oceanic and Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm summers and mild winters.
Travellers familiar with the climate of other parts of Portugal will surely notice that the temperatures in Porto are usually slightly lower than in Lisbon. The difference is even more noticeable when compared to the sunny Algarve in the south.
It is always a bit more chilly in Porto, although the moderating influence of the large body of water, the Atlantic Ocean, makes the temperatures here still less extreme, both in winter and summer, than in the interior of the Portuguese North.
The average daytime temperatures are of about 14 degrees Celsius in the winter and 25 degrees during summer.
When preparing your trip to Porto, always check current weather conditions and forecast at a reliable source (for example BBC Porto Weather).
Below, you can find a very general outline of Porto weather during different seasons.
The common characteristic of all seasons in Porto is the high humidity of a city cradled between the River Douro and the Atlantic Ocean. The winter in Porto is usually rainy and cold, being December the month with the most precipitation and January the coldest month of the year in this part of Portugal.
During winter you can expect between 15 and 18 rainy days per month in Porto and the temperatures between 5 degrees Celsius on the colder days and 20 degrees on warm and cloudless (and rare) days.
The temperatures start gradually increasing in Porto from March, often reaching 18-20 degrees Celsius during the day around mid-May. While in March and April there is still a lot of rainy days, in May the chance of precipitation decreases and significantly and the sunny periods extend.
July and August are the hottest months in Porto, although even during this period the temperatures rarely exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Thanks to the proximity of the ocean, even during the heat waves often experienced in Portugal in the summer season, the temperatures in Porto can rarely ever be described as oppressive heat.
Rain is very rare in Porto during summer and even if it does happen, usually doesn't last long.
July is the month with the most sunny hours, approximately 10 per day, in Porto.
If you have experienced and enjoy warm summer nights in other parts of Portugal, the climate of Porto may be somewhat of a disappointment. At nights the temperatures decrease significantly and a light jacket becomes a must if you are planning to be outdoors after sunset.
Find more information about Porto climate (max. and min. temperatures, rain, sunny days, etc).
The months between September and November are a good time to visit Porto for those who prefer to avoid tourist crowds and hot weather in the city.
In September, the temperatures of 20+ degrees Celsius during daytime are common during the day in decreasing slowly as the winter approaches. The cooling down of the temperatures is accompanied by the each time cloudier skies, increased humidity and more rainy days, even 18 per month, in November and December.
Please not that also the water temperature is slightly lower in Porto area than in other parts of the Portuguese coast. During the best months for sea bathing in Porto, in August and September, the temperature of the waters in the Atlantic ocean rarely exceeds 18 degrees Celsius.

Mumbai, India (12 November 2018): PROINSO, a global leader in the solar energy market, has partnered with Inspire Clean Energy (ICE) to offer its project clients one year of free access to the market-leading solar PV plant monitoring software. This offer is exclusive to PROINSO's customers in India and can help save up to $500 per project.
From 12 November, PROINSO's project clients in India will get complimentary 1-year access to the monitoring module on EIRA, one of the most advanced asset monitoring and management platforms available in the solar industry. EIRA is a unified software platform developed by Inspire Clean Energy (ICE) working on a proprietary AI engine which allows assets to function as an integrated unit. The platform enables asset owners and managers to access the health of their renewable energy assets in less than three seconds and all details in less than three clicks. EIRA is hosted on Amazon Cloud Server, making it the most stable motoring platform with the highest uptime.
EIRA's primary objective is to increase profitability and enhance efficiency of solar projects by enabling asset owners, managers & field teams to leverage the power of connected devices. The platform uses machine learning to provide better fault detection and diagnosis, and to action real-time preventive maintenance. Advanced analytics can predict asset reliability and lifetime, and can assign actionable tickets to the right person. One of the unique aspects of this platform is that it allows asset managers to access all their projects in a single dashboard. The platform is device-agnostic and comes with local support for Indian customers.
PROINSO's clients for projects starting from 50kW will qualify for this exclusive promotion, enabling them to save up to INR 35,000 on setup and subscription costs in the first year.

Vehicular Network System (VNS) is a new category of satellite communications ("SATCOM")-enabled solutions being developed by FirstNet and Inmarsat Government for public safety customers to combine the best of LTE and satellite for true "go anywhere" vehicle connectivity.
VNS combines an off-the-shelf In-Vehicle Router (IVR) system with multiple communication input capability and the ability to intelligently select between the connectivity paths. One input slot is used for cellular LTE and serves as the primary connection. A second SATCOM connection is connected to another input slot and utilized – based on rules set by the user – as directed or needed whenever LTE coverage is unavailable.
VNS provides customers with maximum flexibility by providing options to purchase individual components or the entire VNS system that can be integrated with existing IVR installations.
VNS systems are designed to provide cellular or satellite connectivity to enable in-vehicle communications and/or extending a Wi-Fi "bubble" of connectivity to a small number of users outside the vehicle. VNS systems are not the same as a "deployable" portable cell tower which can provide LTE service to a large number of users via a high-speed satellite backhaul connection. For more information on deployable LTE systems, please visit FirstNet.com.
IVR automatically switches connection between cellular LTE and satellite.
These systems use standard IVR and FirstNet LTE connectivity plus a vehicle-mounted mid-broadband (128-464 kbps) satellite data antenna/modem to support data, voice or limited video applications while a vehicle is on the move.
The SATCOM equipment is generally a medium-sized (19" x 6") magnetic roof-mounted tracking antenna affixed to the vehicle roof that is connected to a Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) modem in the trunk which is in turn connected to the IVR.
These systems provide bandwidth similar to a cellular 2.5G connection while outside of LTE coverage range and are suitable for most data applications other than streaming video.
The BGAN roof-mounted antenna is able to automatically reposition itself as the vehicle moves in order to maintain connectivity. The SATCOM connection can be programmed to connect anytime that the vehicle is out of LTE range, or only at pre-selected or on-demand intervals in order to provide cost containment.
These systems use standard IVR and FirstNet LTE connectivity plus a mid-broadband (384kbps and 2Mbps) satellite data antenna/modem to support data, voice or limited video applications when a vehicle is halted and the satellite antenna is manually deployed.
The SATCOM equipment is generally a medium-sized (13 x 2") Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) modem, which is stored in the trunk and is connected to the IVR or a compact Flyaway 65cm terminal/modem, which is stored in the trunk and is connected to the IVR and standard AC outlet or DC to AC power car adapter.
To use the satellite connectivity, the user must park their vehicle and place the BGAN or Flyaway terminal antenna/modem system outdoors on/around the vehicle; these systems can typically power up and connect in two minutes or less, and less than 15 minutes of training is required to learn to deploy the system.
These systems provide bandwidth similar to a cellular 2.5G connection while outside of LTE coverage range and are suitable for most data applications.
The SATCOM connection is used only when the vehicle operator chooses to halt and deploy it (such as at the request of a dispatcher in order to send or receive important information), which provides cost control while still maintaining on-demand connectivity.
These systems use a standard IVR and FirstNet LTE connectivity plus a mid-broadband vehicle-mounted (512kbps to 8Mbps) satellite data antenna/modem to support data, voice or limited video applications when a vehicle is parked and the satellite antenna is one touch auto deployed.
To use the satellite connectivity, the user must park their vehicle and one touch auto deploy the antenna system; these systems can typically power up and connect in two minutes or less.
The SATCOM connection is used only when the vehicle operator chooses to park and one touch auto deploy it (such as at the request of a dispatcher in order to send or receive important information), which provides cost control while still maintaining on-demand connectivity.

What happens, if you don't clean your furnace unit?
Every furnace and A/C should be cleaned once a year. Your furnace's A/C is the heart of your duct system! No matter how clean you keep the veins, no matter how often you clean your ducts and change your filters, an annual "heart check-up" is still important. Many furnace and A/C companies cancel the factory warranty if you do not maintain the furnace and keep it clean.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T CLEAN YOUR DRYER VENT?
A clogged dryer vent is as dangerous as a fireplace with a blocked chimney. If the dryer pipe is clogged, chemical lint and carbon monoxide will back up into your house, and can start a house fire. Nearly 17,000 fires start from clothes dryers in homes each year!
EVERY DRYER MUST BE CLEANED ONCE A YEAR.
Even if you just purchased and installed a brand new dryer machine, that doesn't mean that the exhaust pipe is clean. New machines produce more heat, which actually increases the risk of fire or your dryer breaking if there is debris in your vent. You are responsible for the cleanliness of your dryer, so the manufacturer will waive their warranty if this happens. Don't rely on delivery and installation technicians. They don't care about the condition of the exhaust pipe. They don't inspect or clean it for you, simply because you don't pay for it!
Dry-brush duct-cleaning will improve the health of your household, but disinfection is even better, just like washing your hands with water and soap is best.


After 12 years in videogame purgatory, ToeJam & Earl 3 is now available on the SEGA Dreamcast.
Back in October, rumors about a Dreamcast edition of ToeJam & Earl III started finding their way onto the Internet. A YouTube user named ZakHooiTM uploaded a video that showed off 30 minutes of gameplay, and teased gamers with the possibility of a future release. Well, that day is finally here. You can now play ToeJam & Earl III on your Dreamcast.
ZakHooiTM got his hands on the game after purchasing a Dreamcast development kit on eBay. "When I received the devkit I was eager to see what was on the internal hard drive (all devkits have one, except older versions)," ZakHooiTM wrote on the Assembler Games Forums. "I connected the kit to my PC and opened Windows Explorer, there where the raw files of the game. However, I had to rebuild the GD-M (GD Emulator) project file in order to get it to boot, when I got it to boot I went to Assembler Games and showed my discovery. So there are no GD-ROMs that are discovered, I just got very lucky to find the game assets and the binary to boot the game."
The version that ZakHooiTM discovered is actually a beta, so the game reportedly has some issues after the first 10 (or so) levels. However, if you're a Dreamcast junkie, you can download your very own a copy at Assembler Games.
ZakHooiTM was quick to point out that he doesn't have permission from SEGA or Greg Johnson to release the title. So, he's asking that the game "never be sold or pressed to disc." He's not interested in making any money off of the project, and asked that any donations be sent to the Mardan School.


The EUR/USD currency pair keeps moving inside the descending pattern. By the moment the price has been corrected into the area of the 5th point of reference, which is expected to be a starting point of the final falling wave inside this pattern. One can consider selling the pair with the tight stop and the target in the area of 1.3870. But if the price breaks the channel's upper border and leaves it, this case scenario will be cancelled.
The GBP/USD currency pair is testing the neckline (which is a support line here) at the daily chart. At the hourly chart of the pair we can see the formation of the descending pattern with the general target in the area of 1.6050. One can consider selling the pair near the channel's upper border in the area of 1.6265. If the price leaves the channel, this case scenario will be cancelled.
Franc is moving inside the rising pattern, the price has reached the area for sales. One can try to buy the USD/CHF currency pair with the tight stop below 0.8445, the target of the growth is the area of 0.8470. But if the price breaks the level of 0.8545 at the daily chart o the pair, there will be some potential for "head & shoulders" reversal pattern with the target in the area of 0.8775 to be completely formed.
The EUR/JPY currency pair is moving inside the descending pattern with the target in the area of 111.35. Currently we should expect the price to test the level of 112.10, and then to be corrected to the channel's upper border in the area of 114.50. Here one can consider selling the pair with the tight stop and the target of 111.35. If the price leaves the channel, this case scenario will be cancelled.


EPA researchers and partners recently published findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing how three types of roofing can help: "cool" (coated in a reflective material to eliminate heat buildup), green (vegetated). and hybrid (vegetated with reflective plants). Hybrid roofs, which are a new concept and not yet available, would be constructed with light-colored plants that have higher reflectivity similar to cool roofs and also the advantages of green roofs, like water retention.
Georgescu partnered with EPA scientists Philip E. Morefield, Britta G. Bierwagen, and Christopher P. Weaver. his co-authors on the study.
Through EPA's Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios (ICLUS) project. researchers had access to a wealth of modeled data focused on impacts from projected urban growth. Using these data, they explored the three methods of roofing designed to absorb less heat to compare and contrast benefits and trade-offs. What they discovered is that while all three have positive environmental implications, green roofs have less heat-mitigating power than cool roofs (hybrid roofs cool at least as well as cool roofs alone), but cool roofs may mean that additional heating is needed during the winter in some areas.
New roofing alternatives may offer an added component to innovative urban designs, new building styles and grid layouts created to offset urban heat islands. "Green cities" may not be a reality yet, but facets to such future cities are currently being considered and implemented. Interest in cooling down urban heat islands is growing and recently caught the attention of over 40 news outlets, including Popular Mechanics. Scientific American, Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, the LA Times, and several international newspapers.

I cannot get over how well organised Inis Fest 2015 was, from the top class acts right down to buying drinks, everything was perfectly planned and superbly executed.
I am not a huge festival fan and I love myself some pop music so bands like Hermitage Green and stars like Nathan Carter would never really be my thing but I was in love with everything from the moment I landed in the showgrounds, Ennis.
The weather was truly amazing which added to whole spectacle and made the atmosphere so much more electric. Security, toilet facilities and eateries, whatever you wanted, there was something there.
Without the heart and soul of the organising committee led by Darren Purtill this event would love have been so fantastic, the people of Clare are so lucky to such innovation and talent put in front of them.
I really got into the festival mood going for rolled black jeans, cons, white Zara Tee, check shirt and bowler hat.
I also had the great pleasure of running into fellow Ennis based blogger, Sharon Connellan from My Closet Encounters.
The countdown to 2016 is on, I cannot wait!

Q: How to draw a solid color bitmap with a Text Centered? The code below should be creating a bitmap that is a 48x48 rectangle, of blue background color  and a Text (actually just a letter) centered horizontally and vertically of white color.
However nothing happens.
procedure MakeCustomIcon(AText: string; AWidth: Integer; AHeight: Integer; AColor: TAlphaColor; var ABlob: TBlob);
var
  Bitmap: TBitmap;
  Rect: TRectF;
  InStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
  Bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
  InStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
  try
    Bitmap.SetSize(AWidth, AHeight);

    Bitmap.Canvas.Clear(AColor);

    Bitmap.Canvas.Stroke.Kind := TBrushKind.bkSolid;
    Bitmap.Canvas.StrokeThickness := 1;
    Bitmap.Canvas.Fill.Color := TAlphaColorRec.White;
    Bitmap.Canvas.BeginScene;

    Rect.Create(0, 0, AWidth, AHeight);
    Bitmap.Canvas.FillText(Rect, AText, true, 100, [TFillTextFlag.ftRightToLeft], TTextAlign.taCenter, TTextAlign.taCenter);

    Bitmap.Canvas.EndScene;

    Bitmap.SaveToStream(InStream);

    InStream.Position := 0;

    ABlob.Clear;
    ABlob.LoadFromStream(InStream);
  finally
    Bitmap.Free;
    InStream.Free;
  end;

I  have tested the rest of my program to make sure the image (that Blob) is actually transporting and getting displayed, and it is doing so. The problem is fully contained on the way it is drawn the bitmap on the method above.
This TBlob is an array of byte.
I am looking to do rectangles like this below, to be used in TListView:

A: I have prepared a project.
1-) Write Text on TImage
2-) Draw on TImage
3-) Effect to TImage
I Try on XE5
Samples:
procedure ReDraw(Image: TImage);
var
  MyRect: TRectF;
begin
  if Image.Bitmap.IsEmpty then Exit;

  MyRect := TRectF.Create(0, Ozellik.SeritTop, Image.Bitmap.Width, Ozellik.SeritBot);
  with Image.Bitmap.Canvas do
  begin
    BeginScene;
    if not Seffaf.IsChecked then
      Fill.Color := Ozellik.SeritRenk
    else
      Fill.Color := TAlphaColorRec.Null;
    FillRect(MyRect, 0, 0, [], 1);
    Fill.Color := Ozellik.YaziRenk;
    if FontCombo.ItemIndex <> -1 then
      Font.Family := FontCombo.Items[FontCombo.ItemIndex];
    Font.Size := Ozellik.YaziBoyut;
    FillText(MyRect,FonYazi.Text.Trim,True,1,[],TTextAlign.taCenter,TTextAlign.taCenter);
    EndScene;
  end;
  Image.Repaint;
end;

http://www.dosya.tc/server32/vHsbaC/CapsYapMasa_st_.rar.html

A: All canvas drawings must be grouped into a BeginScene/EndScene block. Also, it is recommended to draw within a try-finally block.
So, instead of
Bitmap.Canvas.Clear(AColor);
...
Bitmap.Canvas.BeginScene;
...
Bitmap.Canvas.EndScene;

you should do:
Bitmap.Canvas.BeginScene;
try
  Bitmap.Canvas.Clear(AColor);
  ...
finally
  Bitmap.Canvas.EndScene;
end;

Ghost Soldiers Essay Example
Category: History, History of the United States, United States, War, World, World War II,
"In August 1944, the War Ministry in Tokyo had issued a directive to the commandants of various POW camps, outlining a policy for what it called the 'final disposition' of prisoners. A copy of this document, which came to be known as the 'August 1 Kill-All Order,' would surface in the war crimes investigations in Tokyo. Bearing a chilling resemblance to actual events that occurred at Palawan, the directive stated:
'When the battle situation becomes urgent the POWs will be concentrated and confined to their location and kept under heavy guard until preparations for the final disposition will be made. Although the basic aim is to act under superior orders, individual dispositions may be made in [certain] circumstances. Whether they are destroyed individually or in groups, and whether it is accomplished by means of mass bombing, poisonous smoke, poisons, drowning, or decapitation, dispose of them as the situation dictates. It is the aim not to allow the escape of a single one, to annihilate them all, and not to leave any traces." This is the quote from Ghost soldiers that really puts the hammer in the nail. The book is mostly about prisoners of war and their struggles in fighting these wars.
The quote breaks down to simply this; Tokyo became under investigation over executions, the Japs did just that to United States troops, the Japs would (after this directive was put in place) do just about anything to kill POWs, and this created a sense of fear in soldiers that would be indescribable. The book starts out with a few examples of this. There was the men enslaved as POWs at a Japanese air base who were meant to fix the runway after American bombers bombed it. The Japs told these men that there was going to be another bombing so they forced them into their bunker like areas and as soon as all the troops were in there soon enough they started dousing them with kerosene. This is a war crime and the detail given about the screams and the horrors is terrible. This sets the stage for the rest of the book and is a prime example of what this quote really means. This quote is leading people to see what happened to US troops during the Japanese invasions of WWII.
This quote talks about the bold move by the Japs to kill off POWs which resulted in making things even worse for the Japanese. This boosted the want and need for the United states to win a war against them. This made the soldiers want to fight more and surrender less. This would lead to an increase in Japanese deaths and a possible decrease in US deaths. This made them targets for more countries also breaking war code and making them pay demoralizing Japan and crippling their already falling government and country.
These war crimes were Punished and thousands of Japanese troops were tried and hundreds were executed for their crimes. Officers and soldiers alike knew that execution was a war crime and most of the executions from war crimes were because of criminal executions. The Japanese racked up these titles of faulty acts of war and it gave them a poor reputation. Going back to previous examples this made other countries especially the US want to show them basically who was boss and they weren't going to stand for their countries troops getting executed. With most of the world's nations behind each other's backs Justice was served and redemption for the fallen troops was found.
Getting more into the POWs thoughts and feelings another quote from Ghost soldiers that goes right along with the one already mention is "I thought we'd been forgotten," the prisoner said. "No, you're not forgotten," Robbins said. "We've come for you." This is from the "Rescue Mission" section of Ghost Soldiers and however the end is the light at the end of the tunnel the first words "I thought we'd been forgotten," have a lot of meaning. When you try to grasp what goes on with POWs this should come to mind. It is often hard or impossible to get some of these men back. Most have poor living conditions, are forced into a type of slavery, starving, facing medical issues, and a lot more mostly terrible things. I believe that the initial quote I talked about isn't in the right spirit for the topic and it downgrades the horrors of these situations.
In conclusion I believe that the quote talked about is one that should be thought about. That quote let people know what these people were doing to US troops and it is extremely important to the book. Ghost soldiers tells the story of all the bad that needed to get out that needed the world to know. The quote sets the theme of the story in place and it is maintained throughout the story and it helps the book get across the living nightmares that these POWs faced.

Galatians 4:21-31 – An Allegory of Sarah and Hagar
Those who belong to Christ are children of Abraham through the promise, while those who insist on circumcision are still enslaved under the law.
In Galatians 3-4, Paul uses four appeals to Scripture to support his argument that justification is by faith in Christ Jesus and not by doing the law (3:6-9; 3:10-14; 3:16-18; 4:21-31). Here, in his concluding argument, he addresses those who "desire to be subject to the law" with an elaborate allegory that is unique to Paul and unusual in the New Testament. In doing so he blends scriptural and traditional narrative detail about the two sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael (see Genesis 16-17, 21), with symbolic theological reflection related to the distinction of flesh and Spirit that runs through Galatians. Accordingly, Ishmael, as the son of the slave woman, is born "according to the flesh," while Isaac, the son of the free woman, is born "through the promise" (4:23).
Interpreting this story as an allegory, and picking up the argument of Galatians 3:15-17 with its reference to "will" or "covenant," Paul says that these two mothers and their sons symbolize two covenants, one corresponding to Sinai, the law, and slavery; the other corresponding to the heavenly Jerusalem, the promise, and freedom. Paul expands the allegory by linking the theme of barrenness. The barren Sarah is joined to the image of the barren Jerusalem--the earthly barren Jerusalem in exile--and contrasted with the fruitful Jerusalem of promise, the mother of all who are children of the promise (verse 27; see Isaiah 54:1).
Finally, Paul applies this allegorical reading to the current situation. As Isaac was persecuted by Ishmael, "it is now also," the present children of promise are being persecuted by those who are children of slavery and the law (verse 29). Just as Scripture at that time instructed Abraham to "cast out this slave woman with her son" (Genesis 21:10), so now Paul says that the Galatians need to exclude from their midst those who seek to return to live under the law of circumcision (verse 30).
As strange as it is in some of its features, this allegory is a key hinge in Paul's argument. It illustrates a use of Scripture in which Paul works backward from his conclusion to construct an argument. At its conclusion it thus summarizes the key of the letter's argument to this point: those who belong to Christ are children of Abraham through the promise and not through the law. With its concluding reference to "freedom," the allegory points ahead to what follows, in which Paul asserts that those who seek circumcision are denying their experience of God and the freedom for which Christ has died (Galatians 5:1-6).
The Allegory of Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who desire to be subject to the law, will you not listen to the law? 22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and the other by a free woman. 23One, the child of the slave, was born according to the flesh; the other, the child of the free woman, was born through the promise. 24Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One woman, in fact, is Hagar, from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery. 25Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia* and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26But the other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free, and she is our mother. 27For it is written,
'Rejoice, you childless one, you who bear no children,
burst into song and shout, you who endure no birth pangs;
for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous
than the children of the one who is married.'
28Now you,* my friends,* are children of the promise, like Isaac. 29But just as at that time the child who was born according to the flesh persecuted the child who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. 30But what does the scripture say? 'Drive out the slave and her child; for the child of the slave will not share the inheritance with the child of the free woman.' 31So then, friends,* we are children, not of the slave but of the free woman.

Their main clients are those who do not qualify for government assistance. This group includes the single mom working to try to put food on the table, the senior citizen surviving solely on social security, the veteran on disability, the young couple just starting out, and the person that just got laid off from their job. In cooperation with Local Social Services, they are locating and helping those families and individuals that would not have been helped, in the past. They strongly believe in the principle, "Give a man a fish and feed him today, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime."
Currently, in Chesterfield, they serve 1800 people a week through their many programs and distributions. They are excited to be moving towards not only serving Chesterfield but surrounding counties. Learn how you can help support them at the show.
The Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF) was founded because no other organization existed in Virginia that was devoted solely to representing the needs of individuals affected by breast cancer and their families. In February 1991, five women met in a support group. Stunned by the lack of research and progress in breast cancer treatment, they planned a Mother's Day Rally at the State Capitol to bring attention to this devastating disease. The seeds of VBCF were sown that day. Today, VBCF's small staff is headquartered in Richmond and with the help of volunteers, provide Virginians with accurate, up-to-date information on breast cancer early detection, diagnosis, treatment, research, legislation, survivorship, caregiving, and end-of-life care. VBCF's goals are to establish the end of breast cancer as a state and national priority, to advocate for the collective needs of people affected by breast cancer, and to educate all Virginians on the facts about breast cancer.
The backbone of VBCF's advocacy work is monitoring state and national policies and legislation to provide advocates with the information they need to take action through the VBCF "Advocacy Alert" system. VBCF also organizes and hosts visits for volunteer advocates to meet with their legislators. In order to educate more people about breast cancer, VBCF staff and volunteer educational experts are available by request to present information on breast health and cancer and to host resource tables at community events across the state, like the Southern Women's Show! To learn more about VBCF, visit www.vbcf.org and visit their table at the Southern Women's Show.

'Unlock iPhone', says judge in US sextortion case
BY: Loop Technology
15:09, May 5, 2017
A Florida judge has ruled that two defendants in a sextortion case must hand over the passwords to their mobile phones so officials can search them.
Reality TV star Hencha Voigt and former boyfriend, Wesley Victor, are accused of threatening to release explicit images of social media star Julieanna Goddard unless she paid a ransom.
The defendants said the ruling broke their constitutional rights.
But Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Charles Johnson said he was following the law.
"For me, this is like turning over a key to a safety deposit box," he said on Wednesday.
Prosecutors allege that Ms Voigt and Mr Victor told Ms Goddard to pay them $18,000 (£14,000) within 24 hours, or they would release X-rated videos and photos of her.
Ms Goddard, a party promoter and socialite, is a big name on social media where she goes by the name "YesJulz".
Ms Voigt is a model and Instagram star who appeared in WAGS Miami, a reality TV show about the wives and girlfriends of sports figures.
Police arrested the defendants last July and seized their phones, having intercepted text messages allegedly sent to Ms Goddard.
But they have been unable to bypass the passwords for Ms Voigt's iPhone and Mr Victor's BlackBerry to search for more evidence.
As a result, prosecutors formally asked the court to order the defendants to reveal their passwords.
Lawyers for the defendants said this would violate the Fifth Amendment - the part of US law that means people can not be forced to incriminate themselves.
But prosecutors cited a December court decision that allowed Florida police to force a suspected voyeur to give up his iPhone password.
On Wednesday, Judge Johnson ruled that he had no choice but to follow precedent. "That's the law in Florida at this point," he said.
Ms Voigt and Mr Victor have two weeks to comply with the order, or they could be jailed for contempt of court.
They have both pleaded not guilty to charges of extortion, conspiracy to commit extortion and unlawful use of a communication device.
The issue of whether authorities should have the right to access defendants' phones has sparked controversy recently.
Last year, the US Department of Justice ordered Apple to help unlock the phone used by San Bernardino gunman Rizwan Farook. But Apple fought the order, saying it would set a "dangerous precedent".
An apparent reported spike in demands by border officials to search visitors' phones when they arrive in the US also made headlines.
Department of Homeland Security data analysed by NBC News found that agents looked through almost 25,000 phones in 2016.
Reality TV star Hencha Voigt
