Today we'll talk about the episodes we love the most, the ones we'd most want to keep with us were we to be stranded on a desert island (albeit one with a solar-powered DVD player).
In evaluating this Top 3, I thought about the episodes I tend to rewatch most often, and also about the episodes that would be the last ones I would ever delete from my DVR.
Written by Joseph C. Wilson, "Personal" was the first episode where I really stopped and paid attention to Deeks, and to the show for that matter. Prior to that, I always played it in the background while I did other things. But there's something about a wounded Deeks that just speaks to me, so I listened. I watched as we saw his vulnerability, both physical and emotional. I enjoyed the gentle bantering between him and his partner. I watched his heroic rescue of Kensi (a Top 3 entry for Action!Deeks Scenes) in awe. I listened to his final talk with Hetty (the #1 Deeks/Hetty Talk) and was shocked at the revelations about his childhood. I watched the expressions on his face during that talk and realized that Eric Christian Olsen was a great actor. Then I went back and rewatched every episode from "Hand-to-Hand," and watched every other television show and movie that Eric had ever appeared in, and my obsession began. How could I leave this episode behind?
Written by R. Scott Gemmill, this episode only made a single Top 3 list, The Top 3 Episodes for a New Densi Fan, but it was a finalist on many of them, including The Top 3 Examples of Densi Banter, Deeks Undercover Roles, Uses of Humor to Defuse Tension, Funniest Scenes, Funniest Episodes, and Best Written Episodes. I've written at length about why it's an Essential Episode. For me it's so essential that it earns the #2 spot.
There's something downright joyful about the Densi scenes in the desert. I've always thought that it's where these two actors, and the writers and showrunners, must have gotten their first full glimpse of what Densi could be. Their banter is strong right from the opening scenes on an L.A. street with an undercover Homeless Deeks, and then in Ops joking about hygiene. There are great discussions about pet snakes, and hilarious one-liners about Jason Bourne while under fire. We learn a little bit about each character's backstory (even though Deeks' version is not entirely truthful). These two characters are getting to know one another, and their "little ride" in the desert is where they too begin to see the first glimmerings of what their partnership could be.
With my #1 selection, written by Frank Military, we go from the potential of a new partnership to the shattered hopes of a post-torture Deeks. The angst of "Ascension" just kills me every time I watch it. Every single scene with Deeks breaks my heart. That's why it earned two of The Top 3 Most Heartbreaking Moments. Eric is so incredible throughout, showing us how overwhelmed, how lost, Deeks is by what's happened to him. Plus Deeks does finally get a long-deserved apology and kind words of support from Sam. On the other hand, this episode nearly made my Top 3 Frustrating Episodes list for all the scenes where Deeks is abandoned by Kensi, and I do fast forward through the lengthy Callen-Janvier cat and mouse antics, so the episode is far from perfect. Yet the angst is so powerful that I do believe it would be the last episode to be deleted from my DVR. Now, feel free to psychoanalyze me to determine why I enjoy sadness so much that I'd want it with me on a desert island!
Hmm, if only I could take 12 episodes with me, I think I'd be quite happy.
Next week this series comes to an end as we take some time to discuss our Top 3 Favorite Things about NCIS:LA. Think outside the box- your Top 3 can be any three things you want! Favorite scenes, favorite episodes, or something more intangible.
Until then… I can't imagine that anyone else shares my Top 3 Desert Island picks. Let me know your version- which three episodes would you hold onto the longest?
Or, return to last week's Top 3- The Top 3 Scenes that Sum Up Densi.
We are almost in complete agreement here.
And the reason why for all three: because Deeks.
I cannot live without these episodes. This is basically asking which episodes could I watch over and over again for the rest of my life. Yes. These.
peakae I certainly can't argue with including "Descent" over "Borderline." It's really hard for me to picture leaving it behind.
1) Seventh Child, I think I have mentioned these same reasons before, but I love Densi scenes, great acting (I love how Callen was written), great child actors, I love that even though there is angst there is hope too. It is a bit strange that this episode has become so important to me, because I don't usually like so angsty episodes (especially when children are involved).
2) Personal: I love the plot and surprises, hero Deeks and to find out a bit more about Deeks and his past.
It was really difficult to choose and all of those episodes Karen mentioned are so great that is hard to leave them out. One episode I would like to add, that was difficult for me to leave out, is "Black Wind", I love those Deeks and Tomas scenes and that Granger hug.
I hope that the season finale tonight will be so amazing that I will have to add it to my list.
AnneS, that's a great list. I particularly like your reasoning for including "Neighborhood Watch"- quantity is important!
Personal is definitely in my top 3. Also Sacrifice. I'd have a hard time picking just one more though. Maybe IA, maybe a YouTube compilation of my favorite scenes from Descent/Ascension/Impact, including of course all the Deeks/Sam scenes and the deleted hospital scene.
hoopsdiva I thought I was the only one who loved "Sacrifice." I wish Eva would make a return trip to LA. And hah! That's totally cheating, but I am impressed by your deviousness. I want that same compilation, as well as a compilation of all four proposal scenes.
sassyzazzi that's a solid list for sure. I'm intrigued by "Traitor"- I may need to rewatch that one, although I do seem to recall some excellent questioning of Hetty and some fine use of a shotgun?
Just thinking about picking just three episodes left me frustrated. I love so many of the episodes that have great Deeks' scenes that choosing three seems like a betrayal of all the others, but here goes.
#3: Plan B. I love this episode over Borderline because we caught a glimpse of Deeks' past. We are introduced to Max Gentry and suddenly the happy go lucky Deeks reveals dark layers we had no idea were there. Other than the end of Human Traffic, it showed us a streak of violence that was very surprising at the time. ECO was mercurial in his portrayal and proved just how talented he really is.
#2: Ascension. Best season premiere ever…so far. Having to wait all summer for this was difficult, but it didn't disappoint. Still wanted more from that scene with Sam coming to him in the hospital, but I wrote my own version, so I can live with it. Again, it's the ending that makes it one of my favorites. I could have done without the interruption, but ECO and Dani were so perfect in that final scene, I was moved to tears. In the end, the team rallied around him and this series could use more of that.
#1: Personal. This is my all time favorite for all the reasons you expressed. ECO was perfect in this ep…and it caused me great gobs of angst watching him lying there in recovery, watching him struggle to understand why he was targeted, being heroic when he figures out he was just the bait and then heroically saving his partner. But it was the last scene with Hetty that cements it as my all time favorite. The revelation and the myriad expressions on ECO's face made it the one I can never erase.
Great series, Karen…but having to choose only three gives me an upset stomach every time.
It would be easier to take single scenes than whole episodes, but if I really had to choose complete episodes as in this week's Top Three, I'm sure I would take Descent/Ascension and Neighborhood watch. The Season 4 finale and Season 5 premiere, in my opinion, have remained unique (so far) in NCIS:LA's story and they represent a microcosm of everything that for me makes this show worth-watching: breathtaking action, well-written arcs, unexpected plot twists, strong feelings, undercover operations, scary villains, trust, loyalty.
Then with Neighborhood watch I would definitely relax and enjoy my favorite TV ship: Densi. All their scenes in that episode are memorable and worth-rewatching!
Cladani I think that's an excellent set of three. I like the combination of angst and flirting!
1. Plan B: This is my all-time favorite NCISLA episode and the one that cemented my love for both Deeks and ECO. I liked meeting Max and how he introduces us to the dark layers of Deeks' personality that aren't evident cause of his happy and carefree attitude. Also, because it adds more information on his background, and show more of his relationships (Ray and Nicole) outside of NCIS and what we know of his past at LAPD.
2. Wanted: Just for the laughs I would take this episode anywhere. The scenes in the boatshed with the CIA agents and the spa are fantastic and make me laugh every single time. Plus, the ending is one of my fave Densi scenes, with the promise and "sunshine and gunpowder".
3. Internal affairs: This was the hardest decision and I was between like 5 eps for this spot. Decided on this one because it shows a lot of the different aspects of Deeks personality that I really like. I enjoyed all the interrogation scenes, loved the conversation with Roberta and ultimately was super pleased with the investigation itself, the resolution of the problem (at least for the time being) and the last couple of scenes (with Kensi + the team, and Hetty).
Also on the run: personal, the seventh child, spoils of war, crimeleon and the whole Siderov/torture ark of the end of s04 and first 3 episodes of s05.
Forgot to add Neighborhood watch as one ep I highly considered for my top 3.
Jess that's another excellent trio that combines Dark Deeks with so much Densi hilarity. I could easily be happy with it, or with any of these others, over mine. That just goes to show how many great Deeks episodes we have to choose from.
Wow, great job. I will have to defer my answer until I re-watch the series this summer. Yup, now I'll definitely have to watch this summer!
Psyched I'm thinking the same thing. A summer marathon might be very enjoyable, a way to look back on Densi's journey to their engagement.

Report Says CIA Was More Focused on Cyber Offense Than Protecting Its Assets
By Scott Briscoe
In March 2017, WikiLeaks published a trove of information on tools the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) used to hack computer systems. Today, The Washington Post is reporting the results from the CIA's internal investigation of the leak.
NEW: Elite CIA unit that developed hacking tools failed to secure its own systems, allowing massive "Vault 7" leak, an internal report found. My latest with @shaneharris https://t.co/pY8VE0gJJk
— Ellen Nakashima (@nakashimae) June 16, 2020
The CIA's WikiLeaks Task Force report says the information was compromised because CIA experts "prioritized building cyber weapons at the expense of securing their own systems."
"The October 2017 report by the CIA's WikiLeaks Task Force, several pages of which were missing or redacted, portrays an agency more concerned with bulking up its cyber arsenal than keeping those tools secure," the Post reports. "Security procedures were 'woefully lax' within the special unit that designed and built the tools, the report said.
"Absent WikiLeaks's disclosure, the CIA might never have known the tools had been stolen, according to the report. Had the data been stolen for the benefit of a state adversary and not published, we might still be unaware of the loss."
The release of the documents pointed a bright spotlight on cybersecurity vulnerabilities as they described hacking tools that targeted almost anything that connected to the Internet from smartphones to antivirus software to televisions. At the time, major tech companies including Apple and Microsoft had to address how their offerings were affected. Approximately one month after the information was published on WikiLeaks, then CIA Director and current U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Wikileaks a "non-state hostile intelligence service."
The event also reignited a debate in the cybersecurity sector: If a government agency uncovers a serious security vulnerability, should it alert the technology provider and work with it to close the vulnerability, or should it try to exploit the vulnerability in the interest of national security? These documents showed that the CIA seemed to practice the former.
Security Management has reported on this debate at least a couple of times. In "The Zero Day Problem" from November 2017, Security Management examined an NSA program that leaked, saying "The leaks prompted renewed debate on whether the NSA should change its vulnerabilities equities process (VEP) to disclose cyber vulnerabilities to the private sector more frequently to prevent future cyberattacks." Earlier this year, Megan Gates also reported on "Prioritizing a Patch: How the NSA Pushed Microsoft to Address a Major Flaw."
In other recent, related news, ex-CIA employee Joshua Schulte was charged and tried in relation to the information leak. Earlier this year, he was convicted of lying to the FBI and contempt of court, but a jury did not reach a verdict in the other, more serious charges. Prosecutors indicated they would retry Schulte on the charges for which no verdict was reached.
For additional reading on government and cybersecurity, see Security Management articles "Cyber as Statecraft" from May 2018 and "How to Use the Attacker Mentality for Good" from September 2019.

Paul took time out of his busy schedule to come to Raymore, MO and speak at the Canine Accelerant Detection Association's 2015 Annual Conference. His presentation was excellent and very beneficial to our members. He received high remarks from all those attending this year's conference. Paul not only gave an excellent presentation, he worked individually with our teams as well, identifying and correcting problems with our handlers and their K9's. Putting what he taught in the classroom into action was a tremendous help to all those who attended this years conference and certification. Paul is the ultimate professional and his dedication to the field of K9 Detection is beyond reproach.

Q: MVC Default Connection I'm trying to change the default database context to use my actual database, and also to possibly use my User table instead of the default one generated by MVC. I've seen multiple things stating what all the parts are, and what they do (and a million and one theories on what it should do), but I've not seen a concrete code example of how to actually do this. I don't feel what I want to do is that complicated, but I can't find a straight forward answer to actually show me how to just change the defaultconnection to use my database and my tables.
Thanks for any help.

A: I had the same question at one point, and am still a little confused about the implementation. Basically, it sounds like you're trying to get the authentication pieces generated by the MVC template to connect to a database other than localhost default?
Check in your Web.config and you should see the "DefaultConnection":

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\{blahblahblah}.mdf;Initial Catalog={}blahblahblah};Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

I think if you update this connection string you'll get what you're looking for. Let me know if that's not what you mean.

When someone physically alters or bypasses a meter to avoid paying for gas services – that's meter tampering, and it's considered gas theft.
Gas theft impacts us all.
It's unsafe. Unauthorized use of natural gas creates unsafe situations for everyone – neighbors, the public and NW Natural employees.
It's illegal. Our investigators work vigilantly to identify, investigate and pursue prosecution of those who unlawfully help themselves to gas.
It's costly. We all share the expense of stolen energy.
If you see a damaged or odd-looking meter, someone other than a NW Natural employee "working on" a meter or service line, or someone describing unusually low gas bills due to bypassing a meter, call customer service at 503-226-4211 x5904 or email us so we can follow up promptly.

PUCSL Mulls On Rooftop Solar PV Regulations
The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) launched a public consultation on the rooftop solar PV development in Sri Lanka as it intends to issue guidelines and advice on government policy to support the successful implementation of the rooftop solar and achieve the set policy targets.
The government of Sri Lanka has set a target to achieve one million rooftop solar PV plants within the next ten years. The Government also launched "Battle of Solar" or Soorya Bala Sangramaya to promote Rooftop Solar PV in the country with a target of achieving 200MW of capacity by the year 2020 and increase to 1,000 MW capacity by 2025.
Sri Lanka recorded 74MW of total installed capacity through rooftop solar PV by August 2017, data showed. The same stood at 28 MW, a year earlier. A 46MW capacity of rooftop solar was added to the national grid since the Battle of Solar was launched.
It is also seen that the day peak of electricity demand in Sri Lanka is growing faster than the night peak. Therefore, "Aggressive implementation of these schemes will also benefit Sri Lankan utilities and consumers by reducing the reliance on diesel power generation of the national grid and reducing costs," the consultation paper said.
PUCSL invites stakeholders' views, suggestions, recommendations, concerns and comments related to the areas of Suggestions to improve the existing framework (eg. Net-metering Application process, an estimate for net-meter installation, cost etc..), Financing for Solar PV installation, cost, payback etc. and the benefits of solar PV as an individual and the country as a whole, Installation standards, workmanship and installation best practices,. Technical constraints and options for grid connection and any other concerns and ideas to ensure the achievement of targets set by the government under "Sooryabala Sangramaya" program. The draft consultation paper is now available at www.pucsl.gov.lk for reference.

Statute of Limitations for Filing a Lien in Texas
Business & Workplace Regulations

Liens are legal claims attached to real property, such as land and structures. When a property is sold, any attached liens must be paid before the seller receives his money from the sale. Most liens are paid based on the date recorded. In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a mechanic's lien varies based on the status of the person filing the lien. All mechanic's liens in Texas must be filed with the clerk in the county where the work on the property was performed.
Original Contractor
Texas law defines an original contractor as the person contracting directly with the owner of the property or with the owner's agent. Also known as the general contractor, the statute of limitations for the original contractor to file a lien is a process that begins with filing an affidavit. Affidavits must be filed on or before the 15th day of the fourth month after the last day of the month when the owner terminated the contract or the last day of the month during which the contract was completed, settled or abandoned. The earlier of the two dates starts the statute of limitations for filing the affidavit.
First-Tier Subcontractors
First-tier subcontractors in Texas are those who have agreements with the original contractor to perform work on the property. First-tier subcontractors must send a certified or registered letter to the original contractor advising them of unpaid invoices. The statute of limitations for sending the notice letter is no later than the 15th day of the third month after each month that the materials and services were delivered or performed. First-tier subcontractors must also file for a lien before the 15th day of the fourth month after the last day of the month they supplied services or materials. Copies of the affidavit must be sent to the property owner of record and to the original contractor within one business day of filing the affidavit.
Second-Tier Subcontractors
In Texas, second-tier subcontractors are defined as those who do not have contracts with the original contractor. Second-tier subcontractors, also called sub-subcontractors, have agreements with the first-tier subcontractors. Second-tier contractors must comply with the same statute of limitations for filing a lien as first-tier subcontractors, but they must also provide an additional preliminary notice to the original contractor before filing the lien. Second-tier subcontractors must send the preliminary notice before the 15th day of the second month after each month that they supplied materials or labor.
Specially Fabricated Materials
Material suppliers can also file liens against properties in Texas. Material suppliers may have agreements with the original contractor or with first- or second-tier subcontractors. Material suppliers who have supplied specially fabricated materials for a project that were not used in the project have separate statutes of limitations for filing liens. First-tier fabricators must send a notice to the property owner and second-tier fabricators must send notice to the original contractor before the 15th day of the second month during which the fabricator received the order for materials. Other notices may apply under special circumstances. After giving proper notice, the fabricator must file the affidavit for a lien before the 15th day of the fourth month after the end of the month during which the materials were delivered, required or when the contract was breached.

Spirit Of The American's With Disabilities Awards Given Out
By Renee Davies on November 4, 2014 in Articles – Resources, Home page main news, News
SPRINGFIELD, VT -On October 24, the Vermont Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities (GCEPD) gave out "Spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act" Awards to area employers who hire people with disabilities. Two local employers were selected to receive awards because of their efforts to hire and retain people with disabilities, a press release stated. In Springfield, Brian Walbridge from the state of Vermont Buildings, Grounds and Services received an award, and Lonnie Lisai who owns Lisai's Chester Market received an award in Chester.
"This is an award that is given throughout the state," Business Account Manager for Creative Workforce Solutions Karin Thomas said. "The people who receive the awards are nominated through Creative Workforce Solutions and the Governor's Committee for People with Disabilities selects exceptional examples of employers that meet the criteria outlined by the committee."
According to a press release put out by the GCEPD, any employer that successfully meets the following criteria is eligible for an award. 1) Recruitment outreach and equal accessibility in the application, interviewing, and hiring procedures for people with disabilities; 2) Use of on-the-job accommodations, modifications, progressive employment methods, and/or creative solutions for successful training and employment of people with disabilities; 3) Accessible physical structures, buildings, work stations and equipment, and services; and 4) Support for the employment of a person(s) with disability as an overall employment strategy.
Chair of the GCEPD Chris Loso said that he is excited about working with area businesses and giving the awards to local employers.
"I won the award two years ago for my business Loso's Janitorial Services, and then I became part of the GCEPD," he said. "I will be giving out awards throughout the state, and the awards are part of National Disability Awareness Month."
Loso said that the awards are recognized and sponsored by the Vermont Department of Labor.
"The big goal for our committee is to help promote and educate people about people with disabilities," he said.
Brian Walbridge who received the award in Springfield for his work with Vocational Rehab clients said that is was an honor to receive recognition for his efforts.
"It's nice to be recognized for something you do," he said. "Everybody needs a chance and I've had quite a few success stories hiring people with disabilities."
Walbridge said that during his 15 years working for the Buildings, Grounds and Services department, between ten and 12 employees that he's hired have come from Voc Rehab. "As with any employee, you have successes and failures," he said. "But I won't hesitate to ever hire people from Voc Rehab."
Lonnie Lisai who received an award for his efforts to hire people with disabilities in Chester agreed with Walbridge about the award being an honor.
"It feels great to receive this award," Lisai said. "We've been hiring students for a long time, so it's nothing new for me."
Lisai said that when he hires a person with a disability, he doesn't look at the disability, but instead tries to assess whether or not his new employee will be an asset to his store. "I never thought about it, because I don't look at a person's disability," he said. "I like to try and see whether the person will be a hard worker or not, because if I treated a person with a disability any differently, then they wouldn't be treated like normal."
Although Lisai has never hesitated to employ someone with a disability, oftentimes, other employers will hesitate to hire someone that's disabled due to their own judgments. Lisai, however, said that his advice to any of those employers on the fence about hiring someone with a disability would be to just go ahead and hire them.
"Any employee feels good when they can contribute to the success of a business," he said. "What could be better for anyone than to feel like they are part of a team?"

Q: Which one to use JSON XML or database cannot decide I am developing an app which sends an id and in return the php sends a json node to the client. My question should i save my data as a static php array as shown in the bottom code or save the data to an external xml/json file or should I use a database? I might have up to 10,000 items in the array. Please suggest.
<?php
    // Fill up array with names
    $a = array(
                array("id"=>1001, "name"=>"One", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>""),
            array("id"=>1002, "name"=>"Two", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>""),
            array("id"=>1003, "name"=>"Three", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>""),
            array("id"=>1004, "name"=>"Four", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>""),
            array("id"=>1005, "name"=>"Five", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>""),
            array("id"=>1006, "name"=>"Six", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>"")
            );

    //get the q parameter from URL
    $q=$_GET["q"];
    //lookup all hints from array if length of q>0
    if (strlen($q) > 0)
    {
        $hint="";
        $att = "id";
        for($i=0; $i<count($a); $i++)
        {
           if($q==$a[$i][$att])
           {
              echo json_encode($a[$i]);
           }
        }
    }
    echo "";
    ?>

A: I definitely recommend using a Database. Maybe at the beginning you think is easier to access the JSON element through a file but if you have hundreds of records, it could be hard to handle, especially if you are searching through the data. If you feel comfortable using JSON maybe you could try MongoDB for working with something like a JSON-DB environment.

A: If you are going to have that many records, you should definitely use a database. I would recommend checking out SQLite, it's a very simple and compact database. Not sure if you meant app for a smartphone, but if you did then SQLite is available on iOS and Android. It's compatible with everything from smartphones to web servers to desktops - it's a good DB to know. A lot of good documentation on it too. It's sponsored by Mozilla, Adobe, and Oracle. http://www.sqlite.org/

A: A database is probably the easiest solution with an acceptable performance.
If you expect to deal with more than around 10000 requests per second a traditional database is probably too slow, a process that keep the data in memory would be faster. PHP is notoriously bad for this, in fact it is bad for most things but running a normal website. The stateless nature can make debugging easier, but if your application mostly deals with things that are inherently stateful it is just a pain to deal with. Ask yourself if PHP is the right tool for the job, Node.js for instance would make storing the list in memory an intuitive and easy solution.
In general, no matter what storage solution you choose it would seem most natural to store the data as the JSON string format you intend to serve, unless the data it is based on change very often.
Your current code has two major flaws:

*

*It loads the entire list for every single request as the PHP process is started because the list is in code. This wouldn't be much of an issue in most other languages as you normally don't start a new process very often. (You generally shouldn't put big amounts of data in your code anyway, but that is because it tend to grow hard to maintain.)

*You loop through the entire list to find the requested item, use the id as a key and you can fetch the correct record in virtually no time, like this:

.
$a = array(
    "1001"=>array("id"=>1001, "name"=>"One", "address"=>"", "city"=>"", "state"=>"")
)

//Get the requested record
$a[$q];

During Tuesday night's episode Fallon played an all-star game of Password with Ellen DeGeneres, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell. Fallon, who partnered up with fellow talk show host DeGeneres, faced off against two of this year's Oscar nominees, Witherspoon and Carell. Now that is some fierce competition.
Fallon and DeGeneres got off to a very strong start, with Fallon being able to guess the word "booty" by DeGeneres simply saying "call." (A stunned Carell cried, "Come on! No way! Are you kidding me?!) But the Foxcatcher star and Witherspoon (who wore a white DVF "Safina" top) struck back just as fast, with the Wild actress figuring out "Soprano" with Carell's clue: "Tony."
The second round got even more heated, and when don't just mean when Carell guessed "Revlon" right in front of CoverGirl spokeswoman DeGeneres. Of course, it all came down to the tie-breaking final round, with the giggle-inducing clue "joint."

Most chillingly, will it, in the process, destabilize their society and democracy? Or can they leverage technology to amplify human purpose and potential?
There is true occasions for concern. By many measures, wealth inequality is approaching a 100-year high. And even though the unemployment rate is quite low, wages luxuriate in stagnated and labor constrain participation rates have declined for the past two decades. These trends — likely due more to globalization and capital-friendly tax policy than technology — are happening before the really profound technology-driven changes hit. Roughly 5 million Americans drive a vehicle for a living; 3.6 million are cashiers. It is very, very likely that most of their jobs, and many others, will breathe automated in the next 10 to 20 years.
Teacher pay hikes alone can't fix education. They need a 'big idea' to capitalize kids execute well.
Astrophysicist Barbie is perfect. That's not how you attract more girls to flow careers.
Economic optimists point to the past 300 years as a reason not to breathe worried. The advances of the industrial revolution automated jobs for everyone from weavers to horses, but it also created many trustworthy jobs in management, manufacturing and engineering (at least for humans). And the wealth that automation created reached a broad swath of the population, which helped spawn the middle-class-driven consumer economy they luxuriate in today. Net-net, history seems to insinuate that while technology does occasions temporary disruptions to some, in the long hasten it leads to more wealth and employment for most.
However, this line of thinking ignores a massive societal ante they made concurrently with the technological disruption of the 18th and 19th centuries: free, mass public education.
For most of human history, the faculty to read and compute were elite skills reserved for a subset of the ruling class. The early American colonies were more literate than most of Europe — about 60% of white men had a ground plane of literacy. The numbers for women were about half that. African-American slaves, for the most part, were intentionally kept illiterate through most of the 19th century.
Those entrusted with power have, in time, and by tedious operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people of large.
The American colonies did cessation up making just the character of investment that Jefferson recommended. By the mid-19th century, universal public education for white males helped raise literacy rates to near100%. And in the 20th century, public schooling brought women and minorities to near 100% literacy as well. This was a great ante growing from 1% of raw domestic product to 5.7% of GDP across the century. Today education spending is almost 4% of GDP, which amounts to about $600 billion annually in the United States.
As they navigate this next technology-driven inflection point, "maybe" is not acceptable. They need another gargantuan ante on education. Free mass public education empowered nearly everyone with the historically scarce skills of reading and numeracy. But in an economy defined by ersatz intelligence and robotics, people will need much more than literacy and numeracy.
Teachers luxuriate in always known that meeting the individual needs of each student accelerates learning, but this was very difficult to execute in drill — until now. It's time to empower their educators and learners with the same advances that are changing the repose of the society to develop generations of creative, entrepreneurial, adaptable citizens and leaders armed with the mastery of writing, math, science and computing.
Government may play a role, but it will breathe too tedious on its own to up-level the population speedy enough. It is crucial that others step in. Nonprofits with effective, scalable solutions are especially necessary because education is a sector where unfettered markets luxuriate in historically ignored many of the students who are most in need. And because of the productivity and scale that technology is providing us, this could breathe done with far, far fewer resources than even an incremental 0.1% of GDP.
If they can muster the energy, they will contemplate perhaps the strangest and most sparkling byproduct of technology of all: Millions of Americans, unshackled by automation from repetitive and mind-numbing labor, empowered with the skills to participate in what will breathe the most exciting century in their species' history.

San Francisco, April 15, 2019 — Today, The Asia Foundation unveiled Let's Read, Asia's free digital library for children, a locally-driven solution to engage scarcity in Asia. During remarks delivered at the annual Comparative & International Education Society (CIES) conference in San Francisco, Director Melody Zavala, Associate Director Kyle Barker, and Program Specialist Morgan Belveal discussed the train of the rapidly growing and unprecedented program. Let's Read brings together the power of technology with local authors, illustrators, publishers, and translators to dismantle barriers to accessing local language books. A need of access to these resources has prevented millions from reading and learning.
A new film, shot on location in Cambodia and Laos, explores how Let's Read is building sustainable engage ecosystems by advancing the skills of local engage creators and a unique translation utensil across Asia, while contributing directly to local economies. The film debuted at the CIES conference.
The gap between privileged and disadvantaged children is wider than ever. But Let's Read is built on the power of The engage Effect: despite every they know about privilege, a child's fervor for reading is more predictive of their academic success than their family's socioeconomic status. Children who develop a esteem of reading at an early age are more likely to read and write better, build their vocabulary, and comprehend more. The lifelong benefits books proffer to children and families ripple beyond the home and into communities where they live: reading children become reading adults who are more likely to breathe employed and able to contribute to local economies.
Book scarcity exists in many parts of Asia, especially in remote, conflict, or post-conflict areas. In addition, publishing books for highly diverse populations of children across stupendous geographical areas with many different languages is challenging and commercially nonviable for many publishers and cost prohibitive for NGOs.
In response, Let's Read was created to cultivate in children a esteem of reading while also energizing communities by developing local writing and publishing ecosystems. The innovative and highly scalable model is built on a platform developed by The Asia Foundation in San Francisco and Nepal. Asia Foundation offices and partners coordinate BookLabs to defer open license books. Translation events adapt, in true time, books on the platform into other local languages. In the past 12 months, Let's Read convened hundreds of puerile creators and translators in multiple countries, building the library to more than 2,000 books in 20 languages. In 2018 nearly 90,000 books were read, and the library is now accessed in over 100 countries.
In the film, audiences meet local writers and illustrators in Cambodia as they prepare for a Let's Read BookLab with a published children's engage author and editor from Vietnam. A puerile Cambodian writer, Seiha, enthuses on camera that because scripting children books requires clarity and succinctness, "I luxuriate in become more capable in writing clearer and delivering better stories." A instant later, viewers meet Tanout, a university student in Laos with a esteem of languages who translates storybooks from English to Lao and Thai to Lao. In another sequence, a puerile reader navigates through the Let's Read digital library to choose a engage that interests her in her autochthonous language, Khmer.
Let's Read is a rapidly growing digital initiative of The Asia Foundation. The program draws on the development organization's 18 offices in the region and local deep ties to build an unprecedented digital library of local language children's books. Stories in the library explore topics such as environmental stewardship, diversity, tolerance, gender and STEM. The program is nurturing reading habits that enable children to achieve necessary developmental milestones while cultivating sustainable networks of engage creators and translators for children's content.
The Asia Foundation is a nonprofit international development organization committed to improving lives across a dynamic and developing Asia. Informed by six decades of suffer and deep local expertise, their work across the region addresses five overarching goals—strengthen governance, empower women, expand economic opportunity, augment environmental resilience, and promote regional cooperation.

Earlier this year, regional director of the Associated Press Jim Clarke, speaking in favor of a bill to mandate media literacy education in Colorado, told a group of state legislators that his news organization's "hair is on fire." Lisa Cutter (D-Littleton), who sponsored the bill, was surprised Clarke agreed to testify — the AP doesn't typically execute that — but what she heard him recount made it clear why he had chosen to execute so.
"They don't know what's true and what's not when they're accessing news and information. Around the world, fake information and manufactured videos and doctored videos are proliferating," Cutter says, recouting Clarke's testimony.
And so if the AP, that bastion of objective news-gathering, is struggling to narrate fact from fiction in today's media landscape, how are Colorado students, with far less training, expected to sever verisimilitude from disinformation?
That's the impetus behind Cutter's bill, which, if passed, would engage a consultant and configuration a committee of educators and media members to provide the blueprint to implement mandatory media literacy education in Colorado classrooms from kindergarten to 12th grade. It would perform Colorado one of only a handful of states to require such education, even though the need, Cutter says, is widespread and urgent.
Ninety-five percent of kids in the U.S. luxuriate in access to a smartphone, and almost half of them recount they expend it "almost constantly," according to a 2018 Pew Research poll. A great majority of kids access Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook on a daily basis.
"And as a result, that's where they're getting their information from," says Zoe Midler, the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) digital literacy specialist. Though media literacy education is not yet written into state standards, BVSD is one of several school districts throughout the country that luxuriate in taken it upon themselves to interpolate such curricula.
Midler says BVSD's teacher-librarians are leading this education "in the context of lessons." Students access library resources for research projects, and librarians are there to lead students toward credible sources.
The scope of what their schools should drill students about media literacy has broadened vastly in the eventual decade, Midler says, coinciding, predictably, with the expansion of technology. Ten years ago, before sociable media and smartphones had inundated their society, the focus was on debunking hoax websites, and Midler says every district likely had their own checklists to capitalize students identify such imposters.
And that's the broader point that some national media literacy groups are trying to address: Everything that is sent to and from a kid's phone, tablet or computer is contributing to the current media landscape, and their understanding of it. From the blatant (dubious memes, conspiracy theory podcasts, sociable media comments sections with horrifically sourced statements) to the quiescent (ads in Gmail accounts, sponsored Instagram posts, a flag on the wall of someone playing guitar or doing makeup on YouTube), every this input results in a dizzying, constant feed, where consumers are producers and producers are consumers.
More than 5,000 educators — and by extension 125,000 students — luxuriate in accessed NLP's Checkology program, a virtual classroom that provides teachers the resources they need to implement media literacy education. (43 teachers and 400 students luxuriate in accessed the program in the Denver metro area.) Journalists from the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and more lead virtual courses, and the program is supplemented by in-person NewsLitCamps, whereat local journalists lead workshops with teachers.
But what's clear is that whether it's Cutter's bill, BVSD's media literacy program, or Miller's work with NLP, the key to educating kids about how to navigate the media landscape is teachers. Midler, at BVSD, says although media literacy work started with librarians, the proliferation of smartphones means that every teacher needs to luxuriate in a core competency in media literacy education.
Conventional wisdom might prescribe that it's today's students who are at a detriment in consuming modern media, but one need only to luxuriate in accessed the internet at some point during the 2016 election to know media illiteracy has no age restrictions.
"Many of the teachers may not breathe as cozy online, so we're giving them a resource that is very intuitive and giving them guidance," Miller says.
Though NLP's work is largely with those teachers and districts that quest out capitalize with media literacy education, Miller strongly supports legislation and state standards that would require it. But helping individual, motivated educators and districts is a different job than implementing statewide media literacy curricula and standards.
Media Literacy Now has helped craft legislation to implement such curricula. The group helped pass legislation in Washington state, which is now being used as a model in Cutter's Colorado bill. The model creates a state panel to develop standards, but after the panel is established, the difficult work of defining and implementing curricula begins. And that difficulty grows as technology changes, says Erin McNeill, who founded Media Literacy Now in 2013.
McNeill says, optimally, media literacy education enters a student's education as early as possible — kindergarten, even. She says a lesson for such puerile kids might breathe to witness at a picture and try to design out what's true and what might breathe doctored. Then, media literacy education should continue until kids leave lofty school. "That's not necessarily what we're seeing, but that's definitely the goal," McNeill says.
"We luxuriate in a lot of anecdotal information that says media literacy skills are not being taught in a wholesale way. They're not being taught K-12; mostly it's happening in lofty schools, mostly in districts with greater resources, in private schools, but it's not something yet getting out to students across the country," she says.
Media literacy education may breathe a stand-alone class in some schools, but more than likely it'll breathe integrated into almost every subject. Miller says NLP's education ends up in sociable studies, history and English classes, while others recount media literacy education extends to math, science and technology.
"If I'm teaching along a particular topic and I know research is involved, that's a haphazard for me to embed those [media literacy] concepts in a really conceptual way," Midler says.
For what it's worth, Cutter says there hasn't been much opposition to the bill, only the fiscal repercussion — it started around $56,000, but some tweaks luxuriate in gotten the charge down to about $20,000 to hire a consultant, then configuration a committee to develop such a curriculum. But the benefits to widespread media literacy education would breathe immediate and exponential, McNeill says.

Four Pillar tribute to Andrew Young (Special: Council for Quality Growth)
By Maria Saporta
Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young received the Council for Quality Growth's Four Pillars Award on Oct. 14 at the Georgia World Congress Center. Upon accepting the award, Young reminded the more than 1,100 people attending the gala in person (and another 400 watching via livestream) that Atlanta is a special place.
"There always was something quite unusual about this city," said Young, who told stories about former mayors William Hartsfield, Ivan Allen Jr., Martin Luther King Jr. and Helen Bullard, an unsung Atlanta hero. "I have come to believe that what we are doing here is ordained by God. There is no way I can explain the miracle that is Atlanta. We have been blessed."

Young talked about Mayor Hartsfield's "Plan for Improvement" and Mayor Allen's "Platform for Progress" – two aspirational visions of how Atlanta could become one of the leading cities in the country.
"Almost everything you see around here now was on that list," Young said. "Atlanta was not something that was invented…. Together everything we now celebrate, they helped to fulfill."
Young also said that the person who invented the slogan: "Atlanta: A city too busy to hate," was political insider Helen Bullard, who never received proper credit for how she helped pull the city together.
"We have come a long, long way, but we still have a long way to go," Young said. "The struggle continues, but we shall overcome."
Most of the evening, however, was devoted to celebrating Young's life – recognizing all the contributions he has made throughout his life – from working besides King during the days of civil rights, serving as U.S. Representative for Georgia District 5, joining the administration of President Jimmy Carter as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, being elected mayor of Atlanta and serving two terms, co-chairing Atlanta's efforts to bring the 1996 Summer Olympic Games to the city and serving as chair of the Metro Atlanta Chamber during the games.

Young has continued to work on numerous philanthropic efforts through the Andrew Young Foundation as well as other causes. He also has helped produce countless documentaries and written several books.
Among the speakers at the event included Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, who said it was fitting that both Young and Delta were born in Louisiana.
"It's hard to find someone who is more of a visionary than Andrew Jackson Young," Bastian said. "He saw the potential to change the course of history. He is one of the greatest visionaries I've ever known."
There were videos from Vice President Kamala Harris, who said she was glad to call Young a friend and mentor "Ambassador, you are a dreamer and a doer."
Former President Bill Clinton said in a video that the world is a far better place because of Andrew Young.
And former President Jimmy Carter wrote a personal letter thanking Young for his service to the country.
Young's son, Andrew Young III better known as "Bo" said his father embodies the statement: "To whom much is given, much is required."

Billye Suber Aaron said it has been "many years since Andy came into my life. I love you for who you are. I appreciate you for being plain old Andy Young. There is a destiny that makes us sisters and brothers."
Michael Paris, president and CEO of the Council for Quality Growth, said Young's imprint will live for generations to come."
Long time journalist Monica Pearson and former Mayor Bill Campbell emceed the evening. Gov. Brian Kemp and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms gave congratulatory remarks.
The evening also included entertainment and several musical tributes, including a video performance from singer Vince Gill, who sang his unpublished song, "March On, March On," about the ongoing fight against racism in America.
In accepting the tribute, Young summed up the spirit of the evening by simply saying: "There's something very special about this city."

10 years ago, SPS (known as CAPS) started work on preserving Commodore Amiga disk images. Since then we've moved on to cover other less exotic disk platforms such as Atari ST, ZX Spectrum and more.
Just as challenging as the Amiga, and just as close to our heart, and long overdue is the classic, Commodore 64. Now, that KryoFlux is rolling along nicely, write support is pretty much there, and we've been able to get some drives modified to allow "One-Pass Flippy" necessary for C64 disk preservation, we've started adding C64 support to the Analyser.
However, to get this thing moving we need a LOT more C64 disk dumps, and since modified drives are not yet in the wild, we have to concentrate our efforts.
If you own a large collection of C64 disk based titles and are prepared to submit KryoFlux dumps, or are happy to loan disks for imaging, or you have a C64 disk game to physically donate, then please get in touch via our ticket system.
