Julien Mercille: Welcome To The Land Of "Personal Responsibility"
Julien Mercille at 12:02 pm September 13, 2021
From top: Belvedere College, Dublin; Julien Mercille
Our government is now moving into a new strategic phase to address the Covid pandemic. I concede, on the plus side, it is very simple. The strategy is called "personal responsibility". It is a significant shift.
Up until now, the government had set public health regulations for the whole country to protect the population against Covid, and NPHET guided the national response. But this will soon be over. And we will then all rely on "personal judgements" and "personal protective behaviours" in order to achieve "protection at a personal level", quoting the government strategy.
It is all personal, which is another way of saying that the onus is now on you to ensure your protection against a virus that has not gone away, despite the optimistic mood.
Welcome to the land of personal responsibility. A land where the strong and responsible who get up early survive.
First, under the new regime, it will be up to individual children to use their "personal judgement" and conduct a "personal scientific assessment" of Covid levels in a classroom, and then conduct a "personal statistical analysis" about transmission risks. On that basis, 6-year old children can decide whether they should wear a mask or not, and hope that other children will reach the same personal conclusion.
But why, you may ask, wouldn't the government direct all schools to endorse mask wearing for children, so that they and their families and teachers are all automatically protected? Surely that would be more effective than hoping that hundreds of thousands of children will voluntarily coordinate their mask wearing practices?
The government's response is simple: Unfortunately, this is no longer possible, because we live in a regime of "personal responsibility", which must be developed from a young age.
Second, under the new regime, parents will have to individually engage schools to ensure that they have enough HEPA filters and CO2 monitors and adequate ventilation standards. Whatsapp groups will prove useful, and parents can conduct online searches in order to know what are the requirements for ventilation for specific rooms. If they persist, they may get into email contact with ventilation engineers who could assist them in this respect.
But, you may wonder, why wouldn't the government provide the requisite equipment, set those standards, and deliver on them through its oversight of the education system?
Because we live in a regime of "personal responsibility".
Third, workers will also need to conduct their "personal assessments" of the risks in their workplace. They will need to discuss (individually) all related matters with their employer. Millions of such conversations will take place and if they are all responsible and well-informed, Covid will be held in check. The same applies to procedures if you are a close contact, a symptomatic or asymptomatic positive case, or if you require a test, or if you are wondering whether rapid testing or PCR testing is most appropriate, or a combination. All this should be determined through "personal conversations" with your employer.
But, you may wonder, why wouldn't the government set strict industry standards guided by science and in dialogue with employers and unions at the national level?
It's because we now live in a regime of "personal responsibility".
Fourth, you will also soon be able to go to restaurants without a Covid certificate. That means that you will need to carefully check the premises before entering, and go around tables to ask all other customers if they have received a vaccine within the last six months, and perhaps ask them for a proof to ensure they're not lying. Then you can conduct a "personal assessment" of whether the waiting staff is also vaccinated, and make a "personal decision" as to whether you want to eat there or go back home.
But, you may ask, wouldn't it be possible to have some sort of national vaccine certificate system so you spend more time eating than assessing the premises?
No, because we now live in a regime of "personal responsibility".
In summary, as you can see, it is all very simple. Government doesn't have to do anything, and we're all individually responsible for our well-being.
But, you may ask: is this a clear sign that government is cravenly abdicating its responsibilities, turning a cold blind eye to people's suffering, and revealing its lack of empathy for the most vulnerable?
Rest assured – absolutely not. We now live in a regime of "personal responsibility". Therefore, by definition, the government does not have to be responsible—you do. And if you get infected, it is not the government's fault—it's yours.

Government And Media Must Think Outside The Box On Covid
Julien Mercille at 12:13 pm November 13, 2020
From top: Dublin city centre yesterday; Dr Julien Mercille
We've been facing a big problem in the Covid pandemic for a while now. There is a lot of confusion and debate about how to respond to it.
In order to address a problem properly, the first step is to look out for successful solutions – what have others done that actually worked to tackle the virus? Then, we can try to adapt those solutions to the situation in Ireland.
But it has been difficult to do that in Ireland because the public discourse about the pandemic, coming out of both government and the media, has neglected to examine and discuss seriously examples of successful responses to the virus in other countries – of which there are many.
Instead, we've spent a lot of time debating the details of the government's approach even if it keeps failing and has thrown us all into yet another lockdown, with additional lockdowns to come periodically if the virus is not stamped out of the country for good.
Radio and television have been saturated with endless talk about questions like, How many minutes should people be allowed to sit in a pub? Is €9 the right price for a pub meal, or should it be €10.25? Should we be at level 3, 3.5, or is it 2.5? Should we allow 15 or 20 people at a wedding? And what about funerals? Can hairdressers play a role in improving their clients' mental health?
Another problem is that proponents of "herd immunity" who have no solution other than let the virus run rampant keep getting invited on television programmes to create a false sense of "balance".
But we wouldn't need to ask any of those questions if we could simply eliminate the virus from Ireland (or get near that point) – and that's what we need to focus on. An effective and widely distributed vaccine will be of great help there, but we're not at all there yet.
In the international quality press one can see many stories about an obvious fact: Asia-Pacific countries have done so much better than Europe and the United States and many have virtually eliminated the virus.
One can read about the many economic benefits flowing from that, with country after country in Asia releasing positive economic data because their economy can now operate more normally. It is even suggested that Asia's more effective response to the virus could propel it to lead the world in the years to come.
For example, the Wall Street Journal recently ran articles entitled "Covid-19's Global Divide: As West Reels, Asia Keeps Virus at Bay" and "As Coronavirus Surges in US and Europe, Other Countries See One Case as Too Many".
They explained how the Asia-Pacific region completely out-competed Europe in eliminating the virus, showing clear graphs of Covid cases contrasting European with Asian countries making it unmistakeably clear that policy answers must be thought in Asia- yet such graphs haven't appeared very often in our own media.
The articles explained, in reference to the Asia-Pacific region, that…
"…Life in these parts has returned to normal in most ways. Bars and restaurants are bustling. Rugby games and marathons are widely attended. Food festivals are sold out. Soap operas can film crowd scenes. Even mask-wearing has relaxed in many areas."
And they reap the economic benefits: China's GDP expanded by 4.9% in the third quarter; Taiwan's growth was 3.3% thanks to a rebound in domestic consumption and strong exports; Vietnam is one of the few Southeast Asian countries expected to witness positive growth this year. One important reason? "All three have crushed the virus".
Of course, a few articles make similar points in the Irish press, but they are exceptions. More often, what we hear are horror stories about the US, UK, Italy, France or Spain, with the implication that Ireland is doing well in comparison.
Also, we have articles implying that Ireland's leaders are on the right path, even if compared to countries in Asia, they have, like Europe, failed completely.
A sample of headlines illustrates the point – all from the Irish Times:
"Ireland 'Outperforming Almost All European Countries in Controlling Spread of Covid-19'"
"Ireland Ranked Among Best for Covid-19 Innovative Solutions"
"Ireland Has the Fastest Improving Incidence of Covid-19 in Europe"
Comparing ourselves to countries that have failed might give us false confidence but it won't drive the virus away from the island. For those serious about dealing with the pandemic, Asia-Pacific countries are a better source of inspiration.
Some are islands, others not; some are democracies, others are authoritarian; some have communist traditions, others market-based economies. They provide plenty of creative examples to deal with the virus.
For example, one of Ireland's key issue to address to achieve elimination is the border with Northern Ireland. It is often presented by politicians as an insurmountable obstacle which seemingly prevents them from doing anything other than their yo-yo strategy of repeated lockdowns.
However, the border is entirely manageable by drawing creatively from successful examples of border management that have stamped out the virus.
Australia's border management is probably the most relevant and applicable case, but there are also interesting stories in Singapore-Malaysia, Vietnam-China, and Thailand-China to name a few. They have used "border community bubbles", special arrangements with employers, special permissions for cross-border commuters, etc.
We should have a discussion about how these cases can be applied to Ireland, rather than ignoring them or dismissing them because they have differences with our country. Otherwise, we'll keep making mistakes.

Ice Cream Sandwich For The Droid Bionic Leaks, Flash At Your Own Risk
2012/06/21 10:54am PDT Jun 21, 2012
About a month ago, Motorola updated its Ice Cream Sandwich update timeline. While we've already seen one update go live on schedule, we're still waiting on official word for the rest of the handsets on the list. Late last night, however, an ICS ROM for the Droid Bionic surfaced, and it seems to be a mostly-complete build.
Flashing this is extremely risky, and could potentially brick your device. You've been warned!
Motorola Droid Bionic Receiving Minor OTA Update To Build 5.9.905, Improves LTE Connectivity And Bluetooth Sound Quality
Verizon just started pushing a small OTA update to the Droid Bionic that brings a few small enhancements to the device:
Recalibrated volume of the call connect and disconnect tones to be more comfortable for Bluetooth® users.
Improved Visual Voice Mail to ensure delivery of a notification to the Status bar.
Reduced data stalls to improve 4G LTE data connectivity
While it's not ICS, hopefully it will fix the LTE issues that users have been experiencing for quite some time.
[Update: Rolling Out Now] Motorola Droid Bionic Update (Build 5.5.893) On The Way, Should Fix Several Bugs
2011/12/13 7:47am PDT Dec 13, 2011
Update: We started hearing word last night that this update is rolling out, and that seems to be confirmed across the board. Hit Settings > About phone > Software update to see if it's available on your end. Thanks, Scott!
Verizon updated its support documents for the Motorola Droid Bionic earlier today with info of an OTA update that should fix a gaggle of issues with the device.
Among the fixes, you'll find improved 3G and 4G connectivity, "improvements in device stability" to "help avoid power cycles," improvements in the messaging application, and a fix for the issue that caused apps to disappear from the app tray when moved to the SD card, among others.
Motorola Speaks Up About Ice Cream Sandwich Updates: RAZR, Bionic, And XOOM To Be The First, Will Confirm More Later
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
After Google's Ice Cream Sandwich announcement, the obvious question on everyone's mind was will my device get it? Motorola has started to address that issue, albeit very slowly.
A note about Ice Cream Sandwich:
We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR, Motorola RAZR, Motorola XOOM and DROID BIONIC by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices.
Samsung's Not The Only One Releasing Source Code Today - Motorola Droid Bionic Source Now Available
Earlier today, Samsung made available the kernel source code for T-Mobile's Galaxy S II -- the latest of many source releases from Sammy. Of course, if you're not into developing, hacking, or modding Sammy phones, this sort of thing is of little value to you. However, if Moto is your flavor, and you want to make a beastly phone a bit more beastly, listen up: Motorola just released the Bionic source.
Case Review: OtterBox Commuter For The DROID BIONIC - If You Truly Need A Case, Buy This One
David Ruddock
2011/10/07 5:38pm PDT Oct 7, 2011
I hate phone cases. When I bought my Nexus One back in March of 2010, the first thing I did with my very first smartphone was head over to Amazon and start searching for a cool and convenient way to protect it. So I bought some leather ordeal with a flip cover and all sorts of gimmickry, and I hated it. I used it for 2 days, and since then, it has occupied my box of unwanted electronics and related accessories.
[Deal Alert] Amazon Drops DROID BIONIC To $150 With A New Verizon Account, Still Includes $50 Gift Card
2011/09/23 9:11am PDT Sep 23, 2011
Amazon has reduced the price of the Motorola DROID BIONC for new Verizon subscribers to just $150 - and you'll get a free $50 Amazon Gift Card to boot, which would probably wisely be spent on a spare battery and charger.
Verizon's first dual-core phone to feature LTE and a qHD display (with somewhat yucky PenTile subpixel rendering), the BIONIC is definitely Verizon's current powerhouse handset.
For current Verizon customers, the price remains unchanged: $250 with a renewal of your 2-year agreement.
Dear Verizon: Your 4G Phones Have Data Connectivity Problems, And It's Really Pissing Everyone Off
Charge (i510)
Thunderbolt (Mecha)
When I switched from AT&T from Verizon and swapped my aging, battered, and bruised Nexus One for a DROID BIONIC, the possibility of buyer's remorse was not on my mind. I was coming from AT&T - America's single least reliable network in terms of dropped calls. So, I thought the last thing I'd end up doing was wishing I was back there. And now, at least part of me does.
If you own a Verizon 4G LTE handset, you've probably experienced an issue exactly or approximately like this one: You put your phone in your pocket or let it sit overnight, take it out some time later or the next morning, and there's no data connection.
Video: DROID BIONIC Boots Into CyanogenMod 7 For The First Time
Jaroslav Stekl
2011/09/15 4:25pm PDT Sep 15, 2011
The Android dev community has a well-deserved reputation for releasing new versions of ROMs at breakneck speeds, and they're not slowing down with the newest kid on the block, the Motorola DROID BIONIC. In fact, @cvpcs has already ported CyanogenMod 7 to the device, and though he isn't ready to release it just yet, he has put out a video to whet our appetites:
Of course, since this is the very first time the BIONIC has successfully booted into CM7, there are plenty of bugs, including:
No radio connectivity
No charging
Issues with battery reporting
Regardless, this is certainly a viable first chapter in the BIONIC's ROM development, and we look forward to the continuation of the saga.
Motorola Droid Bionic Can Now Be Restored To Stock In Case Of A Brick
Ron Amadeo
Did you recently do something horrible to your Droid Bionic? Tired of staring at that red Motorola logo? This freshly released recovery file will have your bionic running like new in no time.
Interestingly, Motorola has changed the recovery file format from the tried and true SBF file to the XML based FXZ file. There's isn't a huge difference between the new and old file format, but according to Brief Mobile's head honcho, Kenneth Pennington, FXZ is "more transparent and customizable." So there's that.

#1134 (OSX addressBook, iCal, and mail to subversion/trac scripts) – Trac Hacks - Plugins Macros etc.
Hi I wonder what data from those programs should look like in trac? Would you convert it one-time or sync it two-way? e.g.
Contact data from Addressbook.app to wiki pages?
iCal todos to trac tickets?
is there always some interest of that feature ?
I have some Cocoa-Code here that gets all ticket information via XML-RPC and puts the tickets as To Do Item in iCal. This mostly works, but only one-way. It could probably be enhanced to work both ways, but I just thought of a better solution. The idea would be to have a trac-plugin that simulates a caldav server. iCal (and many others) can sync over caldav.
CalDAV is a layer on top of WebDAV, so it could be enough to just write the tickets in .ics-Format to a folder that is then webdav'd by Apache (or some other webserver). I have not tried this, but if someone wants to do that, I'm willing to test.
Please ask on the mailing list.

Q: Orika: How to map a boolean value evaluating a condition I've two classes I need to map (one way at the moment).
class Order1 {
   int number;
   String status;
}

class Order2 {
    int number;
    boolean canceled;
    boolean confirmed;
}

I would like to do something like:
mapperFactory.classMap(Order1.class, Order2.class)
    .map("status == 'Canceled'", "canceled")
    .map("status == 'Confirmed'", "confirmed")
    .byDefault().register();

Is there a way to do something like this?
Edit: I tried using a CustomMapper like this:
.customize(new CustomMapper<Order1, Order1>() {
    @Override
    public void mapAtoB(final Order1 a, final Order1 b, final MappingContext context) {
        String status = a.getStatus();
        b.setCanceled("Canceled".equals(status));
        b.setConfirmed("Confirmed".equals(status));
    }
})

This works, but it doesn't seem possible to add many customized mappers for the same pair of classes.
Instead, I used custom converters as Sidi's answer explains.
Thanks.

A: Can you just add public boolean isCanceled() and boolean isConfirmed() to class Order1 ?
Orika will auto map it
Or
Use you can create a converter StatusConverter taking String parameter, register it
converterFactory.registerConverter("canceled", new StatusConverter("Canceled"));
converterFactory.registerConverter("confirmed", new StatusConverter("Confirmed"));

Then
mapperFactory.classMap(Order1.class, Order2.class)
    .fieldMap("status", "canceled").converter("canceled").add()
    .fieldMap("status", "confirmed") .converter("confirmed").add()
    .byDefault().register();

this converter should convert String to Boolean, return true if the given parameter is equals to the value.

The Beethoven Project
Complete Piano Concertos | Overtures
'Zeroing in on Beethoven' might be a fitting name for the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester's large-scale project featuring all five of Beethoven's piano concertos. This unique pianistic universe was approached step by step over the entire season 2016/17, so to speak as a journey of discovery.
With support of Gübelin Jewellery and the Walter B. Kielholz Foundation.
Beethoven's piano concertos originated over a period of some 20 years. The first, published as Concerto no. 2 in B-flat major (op. 19), antedates the year 1790 in its earliest sketches. The second, published as Concerto no. 1 in C major (op. 15), was completed in 1800; the third was premièred in 1803, and the fourth in 1807. All these premières took place in Vienna, and always with Beethoven at the piano. The fifth, in contrast, received its first hearing in Leipzig in 1811, with Friedrich Schneider as the soloist, for Beethoven's increasing deafness prevented him from appearing in public.

Q: How to remember user's detail to avoid asking him to sign in everytime in JavaFx Desktop Application I am trying to build an application that requires users to log in. When they register I store their information in the MySQL database. (For now, I am just using localhost) I don't want users to write their login details every time they open up the application. How can I avoid this? I am totally clueless. I will be very thankful if someone helps.

A: You can persist data to user's local profile via java.util.prefs.Preferences. You should probably avoid saving sensitive data but 'username' is fair game.

A: As pointed out by @Hollis Waite, you can use the java.util.prefs library.
import java.util.prefs.*;

Make a Remember Me checkbox and put it on your login scene:
@FXML
private CheckBox rememberMeCheckBox;

Then you can use the action event from the checkbox to save the username. Again, as pointed out by Hellis, stick with saving the username and never handle naked passwords.
Example:
@FXML
void handleRememberUser(ActionEvent event) {
    if(rememberMeCheckBox.isSelected()) {
        // Let's validate the username field isn't empty (Optional)
        if(!usernameField.getText().isEmpty()){
            Preferences pref = Preferences.userRoot();
            String userName = usernameField.getText();
            pref.put("username", userName);
        }
    }
}

Then you will probably want the username field to automatically fill the username in memory, right?
In that case you have to make your LoginController implement the initializable class, to have access to the "initialize" method, which can run methods when the class is initialized.
Example:
public class LoginController implements Initializable{
    /// Your whole code in here
}

Then all you have left to do is override the method initialize (Intellij = Alt + Insert/ Override and choose initialize().
@Override
    public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {

        usernameField.setText(Preferences.userRoot().get("username", "Username")); // gets the username form the preferences, if userRoot not set, returns "Username"
    }

Complete code example would look like:
public class LoginController implements Initializable {

    @FXML
    private AnchorPane anchorRoot;

    @FXML
    private TextField usernameField;

    @FXML
    private PasswordField passwordField;

    @FXML
    private Button loginButton;

    @FXML
    private CheckBox rememberMeCheckbox;

    @FXML
void handleRememberUser(ActionEvent event) {
    if(rememberMeCheckBox.isSelected()) {
        // Let's validate the username field isn't empty (Optional)
        if(!usernameField.getText().isEmpty()){
            Preferences pref = Preferences.userRoot();
            String userName = usernameField.getText();
            pref.put("email", userName);
        }
    }
}

    @FXML
    void handleLogin(ActionEvent actionEvent) throws IOException {
        validateUser();
    }

    @FXML
    void handleEnterPressed(ActionEvent event) {
        validateUser();
    }

    private void validateUser() {

        if (usernameField.getText().isEmpty() || passwordField.getText().isEmpty()) {
            // Tell the user fields cannot be empty
        } else {
            // Connect to DB
            DatabaseConnection connectNow = new DatabaseConnection();
            Connection connectDB = connectNow.getConnection();

            String query = "SELECT etc etc etc";

            try {

                Statement statement = connectDB.createStatement();
                ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(query);

                if (rs.next()) {
                    // Validate your user however you are doing it

                } else {
                    // User not found, do something
                }

Doctors Say Bully-Free Zones, Acceptance Training Will Make Schools Safer
SARAH CODY
During a recent meeting of the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, a group formed to investigate the factors that drove Adam Lanza to kill 20 children and six adults and to study the state's mental health system, doctors spoke of the need for schools to adopt concrete principles of inclusion and recognition, in order to become even safer places. "Since what happened in Newtown, people are more aware and more sensitive to what students say," says Jennifer Ukanowicz-Parrett, a math teacher and team leader at King Philip Middle School in West Hartford, a school with active programs aimed to end bullying while promoting respect and acceptance of differences.
"There's a poster right outside in all the hallways that says, 'This is a free-bullying zone' and if you see bullying, you tell somebody," says 8th grader Cyrus Henry, explaining his school's Safe Zones, spots where administrators, teachers and youngsters can talk openly. "It's going to be part of their life," says Ukanowicz-Parrett. The school also has a Character Counts program, rewarding students for honesty and helping others. Henry was honored for perseverance: "I was in Spanish class in 6th grade, and I wasn't very good at it at first but I kept trying and now I have a B plus." Each month, students are acknowledged publicly, as a way to celebrate positivity in the corridors and classrooms. "It feels great. Everybody is clapping for you. You get a pencil and a certificate," says Henry. His friend, fellow 8th grader, Kyra Bukowski, agrees: "After awhile, it's in your mindset. So, you start to do more acts like that without even knowing it."
Bukowski and her mom recently took Hartford Hospital's pledge to "Stop the Stigma" (www.stopthestigmact.org), a movement to educate the public about mental illness and eliminate the use of offensive words, such as "psycho" and "demented", in casual conversation. According to the website, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. So far, the hospital has received 5,500 pledges, working towards a year-long goal of 10,000 promises for change. On Feb. 25, Hartford Hospital and the West Hartford Public Schools will host a forum called "Reducing Myths in Child & Adolescent Mental Health" at 6 p.m. at West Hartford's Town Hall.
"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions". Signs and murals with inspirational messages hang everywhere at King Philip, empowering the students. "If there's a bullying case, I feel like I have a voice and can speak out against it," says Bukowski. "The atmosphere is so great, I can form these different friendships." An environment aimed to lessen isolation and increase a basic act: kindness.

The safety of President Barack Obama or his family has been put at risk at least five times since 2011 due to security lapses by the U.S. Secret Service.
Although the particulars of each incident vary, Matthew Fogg, an expert in federal Equal Opportunity Employment (EEO) cases, contends there is a little-discussed factor that may well be playing a major role in what a recent report from the Department of Homeland Security's [DHS'] Office of Inspector General (OIG) describes as the "management challenges" and "potential systemic issues" facing the Secret Service.
That factor, Fogg argues, is the atmosphere of racial tension and discrimination that currently pervades the Secret Service.
• A 2015 incident when an individual possibly known to the Secret Service landed a gyrocopter on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol.
The OIG completed a factual inquiry into the fifth incident earlier this year in which, according to its preliminary report, "two senior Secret Service special agents, including one who is responsible for all aspects of White House security, disrupted the scene of an investigation of a suspicious package [on March 4, 2015] during an elevated security condition at the White House Complex.
The OIG report states further that the OIG is "deferring conclusions about potential systemic issues facing the Secret Service" until probes into the other four events are completed.
The racial dysfunction that potentially contributed to the security lapses at the White House and beyond, as Fogg suggests, exists not only among the Secret Service's 3,200 special agents. It also extends, according to information recently uncovered by Narco News, to the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service and its 1,300 or so officers.
The racial disharmony within the ranks of the special agents has received some media attention in the past, including by Narco News, given a group of black agents have a long-running federal class-action lawsuit pending against the agency.
But the troubles within the Uniformed Division have not surfaced publicly — until now, with the recent filing of a federal discrimination lawsuit by Lester Blount, an African American uniformed Secret Service officer. Blount served from 2003 to 2012 in the White House K-9 detachment — working with a dog named "Chico," who was trained to detect explosives.
Blount filed several EEO complaints against the Secret Service alleging racial discrimination between 2005 and 2011. In his still-pending federal-court pleadings, Blount claims those EEO complaints prompted his supervisors to retaliate against him further, ultimately resulting in him being placed on administrative leave and later demoted to a lower-paying, less-prestigious position within the Secret Service. The continuing pattern of discrimination and retaliation led Blount to file a lawsuit in late May in U.S. District Court against the DHS — the parent agency of the Secret Service.
Narco News also recently obtained a letter related to Blount's case that was sent to the secretary of the DHS by U.S. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, D-Mississippi, former chairman and current ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security. That letter offers even more insight into the culture of racial dysfunction existing within the Secret Service Uniformed Division.
Fogg, a former chief deputy U.S. Marshal who won a major racial discrimination case against his agency in 1998, stresses that if the Secret Service is failing to hire and promote the best agents because of skin color, or is retaliating against and disciplining unfairly the black agents who have been hired, then that kind of activity is bound to have an impact on the president because it means the best people aren't being put in the critical positions to assure his safety — as well as the security of his family.
Thompson's letter was written in 2010, but it has not been made public previously. The letter reveals that the Secret Service agents, along with state and local police officers, raided Blount's Maryland home in 2008 and held his family at gunpoint as part of an alleged steroid investigation.
Blount was placed on administrative leave by the Secret Service following the raid, though he was never arrested and the entire investigation against him was soon dropped for lack of evidence. Still the Secret Service had failed to reinstate Blount as of 2010, when the congressman sent his letter to DHS. Thompson's letter points out that the raid on Blount's home in July 2008 was preceded by a December 2007 EEO complaint filed by Blount that raised new allegations of agency reprisal for his prior EEO complaints against his supervisors.
In the wake of Thompson's letter, the Secret Service reinstated Blount. He is currently assigned to duty at the "Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. … at a considerable loss of income," compared with his prior White House canine-unit position, Blount's lawsuit states. Though he successfully worked as a Secret Service canine specialist for nine years, Blount alleges in his court pleadings that supervisors have continued to torpedo his efforts to move back to the canine unit.
Blount declined to comment for this story because his case is still pending.
Fogg, however, is blunt in his assessment of the threat posed to President Obama, and potentially his family, should the racial dysfunction within the Secret Service not be taken seriously.

Philippine Basic Education
A blog that tackles issues on basic education (in the Philippines and the United States) including early childhood education, the teaching profession, math and science education, medium of instruction, poverty, and the role of research and higher education.
What Do Numbers Really Tell Us?
Mark Twain popularized the statement, " There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics". In Truth, Damn Truth, and Statistics , Paul Velleman of Cornell University reminds us of a "world outside ourselves". There are facts that sometime do not seem to apply to what we experience. It is at this point that we must realize that each one of us may just be a single point in a larger picture. Statistics does provide a window that helps us see beyond ourselves, but we still need to be vigilant since we often view only what we would like to see. Tomorrow, schools open in the Philippines. Besides what each parent and child might experience, there would be stories, there would be numbers which some of us might be able to relate while some might paint an entirely different universe. There are those who attend elite schools and for these children, the classroom they would see tomorrow could be inviting. Yet, there are also schools that yet have to recover from

How We Narrate, Inform and Persuade
Children learn by example and practice. If parents read, their children are more likely to read. When parents demonstrate decision making based on accurate and reliable information, a child acquiring such a skill becomes more probable. In fact, even adults learn by example. It is unfortunate then to read the r esponse of Aquino to critics of K to 12 : " Minsan ho talaga 'yung mga kritiko natin, minsan sila lang ang anak ng Diyos at sila lang ang magaling. Kaya bahala na ang Diyos sa kanila. " (Our critics seem to think they alone are the children of God and that they are the only ones who are competent, so let God take care of them.) This is from a speech given by the Philippines president who is proudly proclaiming that the government is indeed ready for the new curriculum. Of course, the photo bureau from the palace is quick to provide a picture that depicts a nice classroom. Above copied from the Philippine Star But there are obviously other equally relevant and
DepEd's K to 12: "Stop the School Bus" or "Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!"
Education reforms that are not supported by evidence can have serious and negative ramifications on both students and teachers. Wrong measures are unfortunately never innocuous. Proponents of DepEd's K to 12 must go beyond reciting platitudes and making outrageous promises. A reality check is now more than ever imperative. The mere fact that the new curriculum has already been in place for the past three years can never justify a continuation on the same misguided path. Of course, the right time to stop DepEd's K to 12 was three years ago but this does not mean that it is no longer correct to dump a wrong curriculum. Yesterday was better, but today is still a gazillion times more desirable than tomorrow or never. In addition to the intrinsic weaknesses of the curriculum and the low quality and availability of learning materials, the following only demonstrate how utterly unprepared the government is in implementing the K to 12 curriculum. "The Department of Education
DepEd K to 12: Expectations versus Reality
Back in 2012 at a General Education Conference held in the University of the Philippines, Dina S. Ocampo (currently the DepEd Undersecretary for Programs and Projects) stated the following, "At the end of 12 grades, they are supposed to develop learners who are integrative, who are savvy with information, have media and technology skills, effective communication and life career skills, produce all forms of texts (e.g. written, oral, visual, digital) based on solid grounding on Philippine experience and culture; an understanding of the self, community and the nation; competency in formulating ideas/arguments logically, scientifically and creatively; and clear appreciation of one's responsibility as a citizen of a multicultural Philippines and a diverse world, systematically apply knowledge, understanding, theory and skills for the development of the self, local and global communities using prior learning, inquiry and experimentation; work comfortably with relevant technologies an
From Hitler to Prophets of Doom
The posts I have been seeing on Facebook do not paint a good picture of how we are responding to the nagging challenges of basic education in the Philippines. The Alliance of Concerned Teachers has now likened the management style of DepEd secretary Luistro to that of Hitler while Luistro apparently has been quoted by Radio Veritas as calling critics of the new curriculum "prophets of doom". The issues plaguing Philippine basic education warrant a serious reflection from both sides. The discussion really needs to be elevated to a higher level, one that actually weighs the merits and weaknesses of both arguments. The lack of seriousness in dealing with the real problems of basic education is unfortunately matched by how clueless most of the public are with regard to the new curriculum. Such is illustrated in the following letter from concerned parents of students enrolled in Manila Science High School: Above copied from the Alliance of Concerned Teachers I am
A Perverted Assignment of Roles
Imagine this scenario: A physician spends his time and effort finding funds to support the infrastructure and meet the operating expenses of a hospital that answers to the healthcare needs of poor indigenous people while the government takes the role of determining what medical advice, treatments and procedures should be given. This would be considered absurd in the medical field yet this is the current predicament of basic education in the Philippines. The following is a post on Facebook from a member of Congress in the Philippines: This is not the spirit of bayanihan (communal unity and cooperation). Instead, this is a demonstration of a perverted assignment of roles. Teachers are supposed to spend their energy and time teaching children. Teachers know their students so they must be the ones deciding what needs to be taught. Teachers need the ability and responsibility to decide how they should teach. Teachers are the ones in a much better position to choose learning mate
Copying What Works
There is nothing inherently wrong in copying what other countries do to address challenges in basic education. Even Pasi Sahlberg of Finland acknowledges this in an article published in the Washington Post . The following innovations from the United States are mentioned for their effectiveness in other countries: 1) more observation and description in secondary school science lessons; 2) more individualized reading instruction in primary school classrooms;
3) more use of answer explanation in primary mathematics;
4) more relating of primary school lessons to everyday life; and
5) more text interpretation in primary lessons. Ironically, the United States has not gained so much from these innovations because of its current obsession on accountability and standardized testing. There are practices that work and there are those that do not. What is obviously important is that one copies only the proven ones. And as important, from the lessons learned in the United States, focusing on
K to 12: DepEd's Wrong Priority for Public Basic Education
A very strong argument against DepEd's K to 12 curriculum is its poor quality based on what we know from education research. Another equally strong case against the new curriculum is DepEd's clear lack of competence and capacity to implement the new curriculum. There is a third equally important reason: Focusing on the curriculum sets the wrong priorities for Philippine basic education. When it comes to priorities, who makes the judgment matters. With education, the voices of teachers should matter. Here are the voices from two teacher groups in the Philippines, Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) and the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT). Teachers' Dignity Coalition PRIORITIES Teachers' welfare and salaries Classrooms, facilities, learning materials Alliance of Concerned Teachers PRIORITIES Classrooms, laboratories, books and modules, chairs, and sanitation facilities. Teacher salaries Both teacher groups are urging the government to
DepEd K to 12 Graduates Could Start Their Own Business, Seriously?
DepEd has been using catchy phrases such as "learner-centered", "holistic development", and "globally competitive" while it promotes its new K to 12 curriculum. Recently, DepEd has framed its advertisement in simpler terms. Jovic Yee of the Daily Inquirer quotes Undersecretary for Governance and Operations Rizalino Rivera as claiming that " students ... could also start their own business after graduating from the senior high school program ". Rivera does start with the old lie that the new curriculum would improve employment opportunities but this entrepreneurship assertion is simply outrageous. Above copied from the Inquirer Teaching students to become self-employed is definitely not supported by evidence from research. The abstract of a paper published in the Journal of Small Business Management states quite clearly how much we know with regard to the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in universities: Does entrepreneursh
Cherry-picked Pieces of Evidence Supporting DepEd's K to 12
The public cost of providing two additional years of basic education is not insignificant by any measure. It is in fact a huge investment that requires nothing less than a thorough and thoughtful analysis of costs and benefits. Designing various tracks for these additional years likewise needs to be weighed against providing a general education for all. The largely assumed smoother entry into either the labor market or higher education provided by tracks can be fully canceled by significant disadvantages in later life. These are questions that need to be addressed especially when such a curriculum is planned to be implemented on a grand scale. The Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd), however, chooses to focus on examples that the agency has cherry-picked to promote its new curriculum. On its website , DepEd proudly shares stories of four recent graduates of a pilot senior high school program. Two are now currently working in a restaurant, one works as a secretary in a p
DepEd's K+12: A Threat to the Teaching Profession
"Teachers must be included in the process of curriculum development, regardless of the group of players who are primary in the process. Teachers are the best source of information about what specifically will and will not work in a science classroom. They bring a strong note of reality to the process, through their familiarity with schools, communities, and the classroom environment." The above is an advice from the National Academy of Sciences in the United States. This advice is often heard, but unfortunately, too frequently ignored. Elizabeth Birnam and Debora Nary, after following a literacy reform in one school district conclude that " the power to effectuate change must come from the collective, unified voices of the teachers - the boots on the ground ". In their book, When Teacher Voices Are Heard , they likewise identify the following as key to a successful education reform: transparency, open-mindedness, and the power of the collective. When Teache
How to Think: Where Should We Begin
The myth of learning styles and illusions of competence are manifestations of how little we understand how we actually learn. Both experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience have already provided important findings but these are often overlooked in education reform. William Klemm, a professor of neuroscience at Texas A&M University, helps remind us of some of the salient points now established by research on how we learn : We need to know when a piece of information is reliable or not. We must accept the fact that multitasking is not possible. We cannot build complex knowledge without information in our working memory. Stress is bad for learning. Focus is important so distractions need to be removed. Testing is good when it helps students to recall what they know and makes them aware of what they do not know. Working memory can easily get overloaded. Reforms in education need to be guided. Unfortunately, most reforms are not. The reason why reforms are not based
What It Takes to Help Teachers Teach Science
There are two types of classrooms in basic education. One type has children as students. The other has teachers as students. In the Philippines, overcrowding and insufficient learning resources continue to hound classrooms where children learn. The travesty is that the same actually holds for rooms where teachers are trained. Above copied from the Division of City Schools, Quezon City Almost a thousand teachers are trained on a new curriculum in two batches, each one covering a period of five days. In addition, five hundred private school teachers are given a one-day orientation on the implementation of the new curriculum in grades 3 and 9. Seeing this piece of news and its accompanying photos makes it quite clear how much (or how little) thoughtfulness and attention DepEd gives toward the implementation of its new curriculum. To illustrate how inadequate this mass training is, a recent study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology captures what it really takes to h
When an Educational System Fails
Ted Lieu, a representative in the US Congress from California, vividly describes how education often fails society. "I think it's easy for people like you and me, who wear suits and ties and work in offices, to cast aspersions on those with 10th grade educations. And I certainly hope you're not saying that only those with college degrees or high school degrees should be eligible for federal benefits. But let's talk about some of these folks with the 10th grade educations, such as Maria Isabel Jimenez. She was a farm worker, 17 years old. She worked for nine hours one day on a farm near Stockton in brutal heat, without shade or water, and then she collapsed. She was taken to the hospital. Her body temperature was 108.4 degrees. She died two days later. When I was in the California state legislature, I had the opportunity to meet — over many years —many farm workers who've had families die in brutal conditions in the heat, so that you and I can have less expen
The False Promise and Empty Threat of DepEd's K+12
Part of critical thinking is to consider multiple perspectives. Correctly weighing on an issue requires judiciously examining both sides while being firmly guided by evidence. With regard to DepEd's K+12, it is a helpful exercise to look at what proponents are saying in defense of the new curriculum. Part of the defense is making promises or threats. One promise that DepEd makes is that the new curriculum will ease unemployment . DepEd seems to think that reducing unemployment is as easy as obliterating "un" from the word "unemployed" on a chalkboard. Above copied from European Trade Union Committee for Education Arvil Adams writing for the Education for All Global Monitoring Report makes the relationship between education and employment quite clear with a section heading in the paper entitled The Role of Skills Development in OvercomingSocial Disadvantage . It even comes with a graph to prove the point. Vocational education and training offers no gua

Every cdn has that, but no object storage. You can be the only one that has it on the object storage.

Any hope for a simple, universal Video embedding solution here? I do not want to use public video hosts like YouTube or Vimeo… etc.


Traveling within the country and outside is a normal occurrence. The transportation systems, the world over, have developed so much that traveling is no more a trying task. People travel for work and sometimes even for pleasure. All that it needs is a little planning and scheduling. However, there is one important aspect that is quite often overlooked. And that is "Insurance". So, here are a few important things that you need to know about travel insurance or travel cover.
When you travel unforeseen incidents can happen. These incidents might involve flight cancellation, loss of baggage, illness, accident, injury etc., and have financial repercussions. In fact, trouble does not come knocking only when you have reached your destination of choice. Sometimes, it comes even before the planned travel starts. When this happens you might be forced to cancel your holidays. Travel insurance provides financial protection against such risks. Some people often refer to travel insurance as holiday insurance or holiday cancellation insurance. They do so because traveling is usually associated with holidays.
To answer this question you need to first study all your existing insurance policies. What do you need to check in them? Well! You need to check their coverage. See if your health insurance policy and life insurance policy cover medical emergencies overseas or out of state. Check if your motor vehicle policy is applicable even when you are traveling. When you get a credit card, there are benefits attached to it. These benefits include accidental insurance, loss of baggage etc. So, be clear about all these things. After checking your coverage, if you feel that all the traveling aspects are sufficiently covered, you need not buy travel insurance. However, if you feel that your existing policies do not give you sufficient coverage, you have to buy a travel insurance policy. After all, you have to protect your interests.
In some countries, having travel insurance is mandatory for all outsiders or travelers. At the time of entering such countries, your insurance papers will be checked. However, this is not strictly true for all countries. But think about it, when you travel you have limited local currency. What will you do if it is not sufficient to cover the expense of unexpected situations? Having travel insurance or travel cover gives you the peace of mind that you can take care of all financial eventualities in a foreign land.
Ultimately buying travel cover or holiday cancellation insurance is your call to make. But if the reality is understood clearly, it will help manage the financial situation if things don't go as planned. So fundamentally speaking, it is good to have a fall back plan and hence getting travel insurance is good.
Broadly, all travel related mishaps can be categorized under 5 major heads. Each of these constitutes a comprehensive travel cover. You can either buy a mix of these or a whole travel insurance policy.
When you travel, there is a possibility of falling ill. In such a case, medical insurance gives you protection by ensuring that you cover only a portion of the medical expense. It includes doctor's fees, cost of medicines, hospitalization charges etc. Similarly, there might be a chance that you have to be evacuated due to a medical emergency. Mostly, such a scenario will arise when you are either on a cruise or traveling in a very remote area. When such is the case, you can buy emergency medical evacuation insurance as a part of medical insurance cover. This covers your emergency transportation charges.
When you travel you carry travel-related documents. These could include a passport, driving license, identification papers etc. Loss of such documents will ruin your plans and also you will have to bear the cost of replacing them. Travel document protection cover will help you at such times.
Those who travel by air are well aware that your baggage can get delayed, lost or damaged in transit. Your travel insurance policy protects you by bearing a part of the expense which you incur in replacing the lost or damaged items. Additionally, it also gives cash payment if your baggage remains missing even after 12 hours of your arrival at the destination.
Flight tickets are really costly. Any delay or cancellation of flight will mean additional expense for transportation to and from the hotel, hotel bill, cost of meals etc. A good travel insurance policy will help you cover all these expenses with ease. Not only that, it will also aid in making new travel arrangements.
Unforeseen incidents can compel you to either cancel your holiday or delay the plans. An ideal trip cancellation policy will offer a comprehensive cover. It means that irrespective of the reason all cancellations will be covered.
You have purchased travel insurance to safeguard your finances during travel. When something goes wrong, you have to initiate a sequence of actions to claim the insurance money.
Contact your insurance company and inform them.
Ask the company representative what all documents are required to prove the said incident.
Collect all information as requested by the insurance company including the crime reference number if applicable.
In case of loss or delay in baggage, ask the airline representative for a written confirmation of the same.
In case of medical expense, get copies of all bills including doctor's fee, hospitalization charges and cost of medicines.
Submit all the information with the supporting documents to the insurance company.
A good travel plan is that in which you cover all bases. Having a comprehensive travel insurance makes your travel tension free. Carrying your own travel first aid kit will also be handy. If it's a holiday that you are going on, a holiday cancellation insurance will help you overcome adverse situations. Nobody is stopping you from buying a befitting travel insurance policy. Therefore, discuss your needs with an insurance agent and buy the policy that suits your pocket the best.
my dad swears by travel insurance, it's been really helpful for him since he's older with health problems.
I've never thought of getting travel insurance yet I've thought about traveling a ton though. Guess it's something I need if I'm going to travel.
If you want peace of mind, travel insurance is a must-have.
Travel insurance is an assurance for health as well as life coverage.
Travel insurance is a must for sure. if you want to relax on your travels, it's definitely something you must have. That being said, I never bought one. For some reason I like the adventure of the unknown. I travel quite a lot and safety is something I do not care for at the moment. I want to live.. Maybe when I get older I'll need to buy travel insurance.
From the sound of it, I assume when you travel you do so alone. However, a travel insurance policy is a fall back financial assistance for your dependents if, God forbid, things go wrong. Hence, think in those terms as well. And as I said in my post it is not necessary to buy the whole package deal. You can make do with just the necessary parts like medical and holiday cancellation insurance.
I think having travel insurance is super important indeed! You made some really great points here.


In an interview Krist Novoselic did for a story Rolling Stone is running about In Utero, the bass player speaks about the group's creative process.
"There were songs that Kurt would woodshed," Novoselic said. "He would come in with it, and we would work it out, build it up. There were songs that were made up on the spot, coming out of jams, which took a few rehearsals to come together. But they would find form. That was another thing with Kurt – he could have a riff, but then he was so good at vocal phrasing. He would usually write the lyrics at the last minute. But he was so good at vocal phrasing [in rehearsals]. And voilà – you have a song.

'If fashion won't come to WearableTech, WearableTech must come to fashion' is what the visionaries in the design department of VSP Global must have thought when Google made their catwalk debut during New York's Fashion Week back in September 2012 with the Google Glass. Google teamed up with Diane Von Furstenberg, only to realize that to add beauty and style to the head mounted wearable tech device, it might take a little more than a price psychology shuffle($1500 upon release) for the conspicuous gadget to end up being considered a fashionable wearable product.
This spring Project Genesis was born. VSP Global introduced a new pair of prototype glasses, that some might argue actually look like a classic pair of Ray Ban glasses, that is until one takes a moment to look at them a little more closely. Now here's the trick. What they did was grab a pair of stylish glasses from the brand Dragon Alliance, owned by VSP Global through Marchon Eyewear, and then seamlessly added a circuit board in the left 'temple', also known as the arm. And packed it with the latest health-tracking sensors.
They have managed to seamlessly build in a accelerometer for measuring acceleration forces, movement and vibrations. Plus a gyroscope, which measures or maintains orientation and a magnetometer, to measure magnetic field strength and direction. These tracking health metrics also measure calories burned, steps taken, heart-rate, activity-time, posture, gait and the distance the wearer has travelled. The gathered information is then interpreted via bluetooth by an accompanying Android app. The biggest advantage of the prototype glasses is that the arm is only slightly bigger than an average pair of glasses, so therefore no one would be able to tell that the shades or glasses you are wearing are fully tech-packed.
Having read up on this innovative device, it is not hard to imagine that they might be able to make a bullseye in the wearable tech market. Their success will be down to the fact that their 26 man strong team have added (activity tracking) what was needed to their eyewear prototype and ditched (Camera) what didn't work, basically making the glasses a fashionable version of Google Glass with empathy.


"Giving by individuals makes up the vast majority of contributions received by nonprofit organizations." Individual giving accounted for 72 percent of all charitable contributions received by nonprofits in 2014.
That's you, and me, and everyone on your block. By coming together on Giving Tuesday our gifts, no matter how small, can make a huge impact on our community, our county, and our Nation.
Just like a dollar spent at a local business goes farther a donation to a locally based charity also goes even further than one to a national or international charity. As you enjoy your snow day and plan out your end of year giving, please consider helping these local charities.
All charities listed are located in Lake or McHenry County and are doing work for families and children in our own counties.
Mission: Busy Brains Children's Museum is a non-profit corporation founded by two educators and parents that noticed a NEED for PLAY in the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin area. Our beautiful building needs renovation before we can open our permanent space and become the FIRST children's museum in Lake County.
Giving Tuesday Goal: Busy Brains is looking for PIONEERS of PLAY: local families and businesses that understand that children learn best when they are freely experiencing their world. Pioneers look forward, with a strong vision, and work hard to reach their goals. Busy Brains Pioneers agree to contribute monthly, so that the museum can make continuous progress throughout 2019. Sign up online to make a monthly pledge! A pledge of $5 a month will earn you a BBCM t-shirt and fantastic gear set to share with a child in your life.
Mission: Fox and Trove is on a mission to empower kids to be world changers by teaching them how to be kind, brave and resilient! Their kindness education program includes summer kindness camps, school kindness curriculum and an after-school program and is based on over 20 years of research on social-emotional learning during the early formative years of 3 – 6.
Giving Tuesday Goal: 100% of sales and donations on Giving Tuesday will go to making our kindness curriculum available online so that it's free to every school. The skills we teach – empathy, conflict resolution, emotion regulation, self-calming, resilience, bravery, inclusiveness, and kindness, have been proven to decrease childhood depression, anxiety and bullying and significantly increase happiness, mental and physical health and academic success. For every school that can afford to purchase a social-emotional learning curriculum, there are many more that cannot. We want to make it accessible and free so that all children can learn these essential life skills.
Mission: Twice As Nice Mother & Child provides help and hope to families in crisis by distributing diapers and other basic needs at no cost. We also raise awareness about diaper need and work to build a sustainable diaper program in Lake County. With just 11 volunteers and no paid staff, our programs impact the lives of over 3,000 families across 31 zip codes in Lake County.
Your Giving Tuesday donation will help them continue to provide this needed service and build their sustainable diaper program.
Mission: United Way of Lake County is a nonprofit organization focused on building a stronger community where Lake County children and families are successful in school, work and life. We do so by engaging volunteers, investing resources and building partnerships in the community to create measurable and lasting change. By investing in programs that prepare children and families to succeed, we're investing in a brighter future, not just for our kids but for our community.
Giving Tuesday Goal: A Giving Tuesday gift to United Way of Lake County will help expand our Home Visiting Program. Home Visiting delivers free early intervention services to the home of families with infants and preschool-age children who are struggling with poverty and who have limited access to health and community services. Funding will support more high-risk families in North Chicago, Waukegan and Zion with their most critical needs. Our goal of $12,500 will support a holistic approach to caring for families by providing a Home Visiting nurse and caseworker to perform safety assessments and wellness checks for the neediest families in our community. This Giving Tuesday, help us provide hope and help where it's needed the most. The Healthcare Foundation of Northern Lake County will be matching 100% of Giving Tuesday donations, up to $5,000, made between November 20 and December 4. A matching gift means that your impact will double for children and families that need and deserve our help.
Mission: The Antioch Traveling Closet(ATC) is a not-for-profit organization, that benefits local families in need of clothing, toiletries, school and household cleaning supplies. Our mission is to ensure that all children, adults, and/or senior citizens have basic items that most of us take for granted. For example, ATC provides individuals, with items as simple as, a toothbrush and toothpaste. The ATC amasses donated items from the community such as new or very gently used shoes, clothing, winter jackets, boots, hats, gloves, books, and toiletries. In addition, we also collect school materials and cleaning supplies for the home. Which are distributed, free of charge, at quarterly giveaway drives. These giveaways are held at the Antioch Senior Center in Antioch, IL. We also provide clothing, toiletries, and sometimes food to families that become suddenly homeless in the area or on an as-needed basis. Area schools will contact the ATC for clothing/winter wear and shoes for students many times throughout the year.
Giving Tuesday Goal: The ATC is strictly a not for profit and relies on generous residents and businesses for help with donations. We are in need of socks, cleaning supplies, toiletries of all kinds. i.e., laundry soap, dish soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, band-aids, body lotion, feminine products, baby wipes, and diapers.
Mission: GiveNkind is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization dedicated to re-imagining giving by maximizing the impact of a charitable gift for both donors and nonprofits. Through our free site, registered nonprofits post their in-kind, material wish lists. Donors also post items they have to give, making the site searchable. giveNkind also conducts donation drives of new and gently used items and works with businesses with trial run, surplus, canceled, and abandoned new goods to donate. Our 30+ nonprofit partners across Chicagoland receive much needed items free of cost and give donors a meaningful way to re-purpose their items to impact their community.
Giving Tuesday Goal: Our goal is to expanding donations during the Giving Tuesday season, giveNkind and Generation Gratitude are hosting a large in-kind donation drive Nov 26-December 1. Clothes, shoes, coats, backpacks, books, and household items such as linens, cookware, plates, and more can donated to benefit a wide variety of organizations throughout Chicagoland. Donations will be sorted and the delivered to nonprofit partners. Stop by SmartCube Storage at 3725 Deerfield Rd, Riverwoods, IL 60015 between 9am and noon December 1, send a message to contact@givenkind.org to arrange a donation, or visit our site https://givenkind.org/events/ to find a drop off location near you! GiveNkind collects items year-round. If you have new or used items to give, are interested in adopting a wish list, sponsor a donation drop location, or volunteer with us to connect with donors and nonprofits, please reach out to contact@givenkind.org.
Mission: Lambs Farm mission is to help people with developmental disabilities lead productive, happy lives and connecting with the human spirit in us all.
Giving Tuesday Goal: Lambs Farm Participants have fun both on and off the Farm. They love to hang out under the pavilion, have lunch and catch up with their friends. The pavilion is currently in need of repairs, and they would love if it could be replaced with donations from Giving Tuesday. When Participants aren't at the Farm, they enjoy outings with staff and housemates. Participants look forward to raising enough money for each house to go on multiple outings next year to gain new experiences, make memories and have fun.

PROTOJE DROPS "BOUT NOON" TODAY 2.23
By CaribbeanPosh.com| 2018-02-23T21:53:02-04:00	February 23rd, 2018|
Protoje releases his new single "Bout Noon" today (Feb. 23) across all digital and streaming platforms. Produced by Winta James and Lamont "Monty" Savory, "Bout Noon" is confirmed on Protoje's upcoming fourth studio album to be released by In.Digg.Nation Collective/Overstand Entertainment under license to Mr Bongo & Easy Star Records (US).
Today, VIBE debuts the song's lyric video animated by Ikem Smith.
The album will arrive this year as the follow-up to Protoje's critically acclaimed 2015 full-length release Ancient Future, which featured the hit single "Who Knows" ft Chronixx (61 million+ YouTube views, 5 million+ SoundCloud streams, 329k + Shazams, BBC Radio 1 B-list, BBC Radio 1Xtra A-list).
"Bout Noon" features a melodic delivery by Protoje over a beat that blends aggressive drums of a hip-hop influence with a funky rub-a-dub bass line and moody R&B guitars.
"I wrote this song on a flight home after an extensive Summer of touring. I was looking forward to being home, in my house, with my lady and family. I think everybody can relate to missing someone or something. This song can be something you groove to as you make your way back to that," the Jamaican phenom says.
