Marriage won't end poverty

Poverty in Oklahoma is at a six-year high. Recent Census numbers showed that more than one in six Oklahomans – and almost one in four children – live in poverty. Even as we are lauded for our economic successes, the chronically high poverty rate shows that large numbers of Oklahomans are not getting ahead.
Many factors contribute to keeping people in poverty, including low wages, lack of education, mass incarceration, racial discrimination, food insecurity, and limited access to health care. Yet to hear some tell it, these long-lasting problems have a simple solution: marriage.
Their argument rests on the fact that a high percentage of single-parent families live in poverty. However, millions of married Americans do, too.
A new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) shines a light on this often-ignored population of married families in poverty. The report finds:
More than 7 million married adults under age 65 in the United States have incomes below the austere federal poverty line—currently about $23,000 for a married couple with two children. Among parents living below the poverty line and caring for minor children, 43 percent are married (and not separated). There are more married parents with incomes below the poverty line than there are never-married ones, and more food-insecure adults live in households with children headed by married couples than in ones headed by just a man or woman.
We see a similar pattern in Oklahoma. Out of all of the Oklahoma children in poverty, about one-third (33.6 percent) live in married-couple families, according to the 2011 American Community Survey. That's over 70,000 children.
The poverty numbers don't paint the full picture. Most agree that the federal poverty line is long-outdated, and research has found that 200 percent of the poverty line is about the minimum needed to meet a family's basic needs. Families making less than that are considered low-income, and they are often one layoff or medical emergency away from falling into poverty. If you look at the Oklahoma children in these low-income families, more than half (52 percent) live in 2-parent households.
The CEPR study points out that those working to promote marriage should be equally concerned about the invisibility of marital poverty. It states:
The idealization of marriage may be fine when a married couple's finances and prospects are "for better." But this idealization may weaken marital bonds when a couple's finances move in the "for worse" direction. If a married couple's income falls precipitously after a spouse's job is outsourced, their marriage may no longer live up to the idealized view that married people aren't poor.
Indeed, part of the reason poverty and single parenthood are so closely correlated is that poverty causes divorce. Arguments about money are the number one cause of divorce. Divorce rates are highest in relatively poor Southern states, including Oklahoma, and lowest in the wealthier Northeast. There's even evidence that, rather than teen births causing poverty, it's poor economic prospects that lead young women to choose to become single mothers. As Matt Yglesias writes:
Where poor people can see that hard work and "playing by the rules" will reward them, they're pretty likely to do just that. Where the system looks stacked against them, they're more likely to abandon mainstream norms.
It also cannot be ignored that Oklahoma has some of the highest rates in the nation of violence against women by their intimate partners. If a relationship becomes abusive, a battered spouse and children are much better off escaping that environment, even if it means reduced income.
Certainly dual incomes and a supportive partnership can be a great asset for low-income families, and the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative has done useful work to teach relationship and parenting skills and improve access to family support services. However, those who put forward marriage as the solution to poverty, while denigrating economic supports for low-income families, are confusing the symptom with the disease. If we want to strengthen marriage and reduce poverty, we need measures that will improve economic security for all families: more living wage jobs, better access to health care and child care, and a strong safety net.

One thought on "Marriage won't end poverty"
Ed Rossman says:
Interesting OPI blog. See link below. Another interesting blog from Kimberly Howard and Richard Reeves, Brookings, on the impact of "marriage effect" on outcomes of poor children. As noted in OPI blog, it is not simple. The BI blog also discusses where the policy the focus should be. There is solid social science research that is too often neglected at the policy level.

Moldovan Parliament Speaker Denies Plan To Unite With Romania
September 07, 2009 16:59 GMT
Mihai Ghimpu
CHISINAU -- New Moldovan parliament speaker Mihai Ghimpu says that he will not press for union with Romania even though he personally believes Moldova and Romania should be one country, RFE/RL's Moldovan Service reports.
Ghimpu, who leads the pro-Romanian Liberal Party, told Moldova's Jurnal TV over the weekend that if the Liberal Party and the other three pro-Western parties that won a majority in the July 29 parliamentary elections form a new government they will seek primarily to bring Moldova closer to the European Union and convince Russia to withdraw its troops from Moldova's separatist Transdniester region.
He also told Russia's Ekho Moskvy radio that despite media reports to the contrary, he is not a "Russophobe."
Most of what is now Moldova was part of Romania until World War II.
A majority of Moldovans speak Romanian, although some prefer to call it "Moldovan," and hundreds of thousands have applied for Romanian citizenship.

2020 Covid Response Grants - California
CA Grantee Organization: Housing Now! California
Housing Now! California is a broad and diverse movement building power to make housing affordable and to combat the displacement crisis that is disproportionately impacting working class communities of color. Led by tenants, the Housing Now! coalition of 86 local and state organizations includes allied landlords, realtors, and dozens of community, faith, and labor organizations. Housing Now! California believes that everyone should have the opportunity to live in a safe, healthy, affordable home.
With support from Convergence Partnership, Housing Now! is developing a mid-term vision and priorities for housing policy and power-building infrastructure needs in California that centers racial justice and health equity; engaging members in thinking about needs specific to recovering from the health and economic impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic; and deepening work to integrate the needs of communities in California's inland regions into statewide policy development and coalition infrastructure.
San Joaquin Valley, CA, Grantee Organizations: Cultiva La Salud; Dolores Huerta Foundation; Radio Bilingue; Faith in the Valley; Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability
Cultiva La Salud is dedicated to creating health equity in the San Joaquin Valley by fostering changes in communities that support healthy eating and active living.
Dolores Huerta Foundation inspires and organizes communities to build volunteer organizations empowered to pursue social justice by recruiting, training, and empowering grassroots leaders in low-income communities to pursue social justice through systemic and structural transformation.
Radio Bilingüe is the leading Latino public radio network and content producer for the nation's public broadcasting system. Its mission is to serve as a voice to empower Latinos and other underserved communities.
With support from Convergence Partnership, these three partner organizations are working together to support coordinated advocacy and community engagement to ensure identified San Joaquin Valley school districts are providing healthy and desirable school meals while schools are physically closed or offering distanced learning, as well as advocating for local, regional, and national equitable school meal policy change. The partnership also includes consulting services by University of California Nutrition Policy Center Stanford School of Medicine.
Faith in the Valley is a faith-based grassroots community organization in California's Central Valley representing families in Fresno, Kern, Merced, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin counties. Their work is led by volunteer leaders who are among the people most impacted by equity issues: low-wage workers, young people, immigrants, and the formerly incarcerated.
Convergence funding is supporting grassroots leaders to educate decision-makers and public officials around the impacts of Covid-19 on low-income communities, such as the housing and evictions crisis, and the need for resources and policy change. These grassroots leaders are also working with other community partners to address Covid-19 impacts in Merced and Stanislaus counties.
Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability is an advocacy and legal strategy organization that fundamentally shifts the dynamics that have created the stark inequality that impacts California's low-income, rural regions. Through community organizing, research, legal representation, and policy advocacy, they impact land use and transportation planning, shift public investment priorities, guide environmental policy, and promote the provision of basic infrastructure and services. Based in the San Joaquin and Eastern Coachella Valleys, Leadership Counsel works alongside the most impacted communities to advocate for sound policy and eradicate injustice to secure equal access to opportunity regardless of wealth, race, income, and place.
Convergence Partnership funding is supporting Leadership Counsel to engage and empower impacted community members to educate decision-makers and their staffs on issues related to Covid-19 impacts in vulnerable communities, such as worker safety, housing protections, availability and access to Covid-19 testing, and transparent public decision-making in Tulare and Madera Counties.

Skeletal muscles are muscles which are under conscious control. Involuntary muscles of the torso are categorised as smooth muscle. Smooth muscle unlike skeletal muscle does not have the ability to contract over long periods of time. Skeletal muscles are made up of slow and fast twitch fibres.
Agonist – Is the prime mover and the muscle which is contracting to perform the movement.
Antagonist – The opposing muscle of the agonist, which needs to relax and extend to allow movement and the agonist to contract.
Fixator – Muscle which contracts to prevent any unwanted movement.
Synergist - Acts to assist the movement of the agonist.
When the muscle shortens its known as a concentric contraction. An eccentric contraction is the lengthening of a muscle while its under load. When you start exercising the muscles of the body go through some immediate changes, these are; increased demand for oxygen and nutrients, increased nerve stimulation and capillary dilation from increase in blood, rise in temperature, increased pliability and increased fibre recruitment.
Because of the increase in oxygen required the heart speeds up to pump more blood and breathing increases to oxygenate the blood. This is why even if your goal is to improve your muscular strength and endurance, it is just as important to work and improve your heart and lungs. This is why if a smoker tries to lift weights, the muscles will fatigue more quickly because the heart and lungs cannot work effectively.
Over a longer period of time the muscles improve in tone, increase in fibre size, increase resting metabolic rate (see how the body uses energy), increase in the number of mitochondria and capillaries within the muscle.
Commonly a imbalance between postural (tonic) muscles and movement (phasic) muscles occur due to a lack of exercise, stretching resulting in bad posture when sitting and standing. When an imbalance within muscles occur, the body reacts by trying to compensate, but over a period of time this compensation can lead to lower back pain, knee and hips issues. Through correct training and stretching muscular problems are mostly reversible.
Optimal musculoskeletal function requires that adequate range of motion is maintained in joints. A reduction in joint mobility and strength reduces the ability to perform activities within daily living.

Lorena – Eastern Pacific Ocean
Sep. 23, 2019 – NASA Catches Tropical Storm Lorena's Landfall Approach
As Tropical Storm Lorena was nearing landfall in northwestern Mexico, NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite provided forecasters with an image of the storm. By Monday, Sept. 23, Lorena's remnants were affecting the southern U.S. and bringing heavy rainfall to Arizona.

Visible imagery from NASA satellites help forecasters understand if a storm is organizing or weakening. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument aboard Suomi NPP provided a visible image of Lorena on Sept. 21 at 4:42 p.m. EDT (2042 UTC).
The shape of a tropical cyclone provides forecasters with an idea of its organization and strength, and NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite provided a visible image of the storm to forecasters as its center was approaching landfall. The storm already appeared elongated from south to north after its northeastern side had begun moving over the high terrain of northwestern Mexico. Lorena made a slow track to the coast and made landfall about 12 hours later.
Lorena's Final Advisory
At 11 am EDT on Sunday, Sept. 22, NOAA's National Hurricane Center issued the final advisory on the system. By that time, Post-Tropical Cyclone Lorena crossed the coast of northwestern Mexico in the morning. The center of the disturbance was estimated near latitude 28.8 degrees north and longitude 111.5 degrees west. The post-tropical cyclone was moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 kph). Maximum sustained winds associated with this system are near 30 mph (45 kph) with higher gusts.
After landfall, Lorena's remnant clouds and rain moved north into Arizona.
Lorena's Remnants in Arizona on Sept. 23
NOAA's Weather Prediction Center College Park, Md. reported, "Moisture from the remnants of Lorena will contribute to heavy rain, strong to severe thunderstorms and possible flooding across the Southwest through Tuesday. There should be enough moisture in place to support a significant rainfall event with widespread 1 to 2 inch rainfall totals with much higher amounts locally, with the greatest amounts in central and southern Arizona. This degree of rainfall warrants flash flood concerns, and a Moderate Risk of excessive rainfall is in effect for that region. Some strong to severe thunderstorms will also be possible."
Hurricanes are the most powerful weather event on Earth. NASA's expertise in space and scientific exploration contributes to essential services provided to the American people by other federal agencies, such as hurricane weather forecasting.

Citizen-Sourced Redistricting Efforts Are Reaching the Finish Line
BY Nick Judd | Thursday, September 8 2011
FixPhillyDistricts.com
Philadelphia's City Council is expected to propose on Thursday a new set of political borders to last the city through the next ten years — and the results will be a barometer of success for a group of do-it-yourself political activists hoping to use technology to impose themselves on the process.
Cities, counties and states nationwide are updating their borders to reflect changes in population shown by the decennial U.S. Census, a typically closed-door process that gives politicians the chance to engage in practices like agreeing on districts where it's easier for incumbents to win or skulduggery like slicing a white political aspirant's house into a district that is predominantly people of color, and hoping that race politics creates some turmoil.
The council in Philadelphia seemed to some outsiders to be doing business as usual, behind closed doors and without public input — spurring a partnership among the mapping software firm Azavea, local media partners, and the Penn Project for Civic Engagement to host their own, parallel process. The process, a public mapmaking competition called Fix Philly Districts, empowered anyone who wanted to participate to build maps using freely available software.
This contest is a microcosm for a phenomenon happening across the country. In Virginia, for example, advocates held a similar mapping competition using the same software, District Builder, which Azavea built in conjunction with the Public Mapping Project. Another contest in Ohio will have its winners announced next Tuesday. Contest organizers expect later this month to put their maps in front of the Ohio legislative committee responsible for redistricting .
After weeks of advocacy, Azavea and its partners will know tomorrow if they have gotten through to Philadelphia lawmakers. Already, there have been some victories — the contest generated 1,200 plans, 72 of which were legally valid, according to Azavea. Earlier this week, seven winning plans made it in front of the City Council during a public meeting on redistricting. Part of the point of the whole exercize was to create enough of a hullabaloo that the council would have to host more than one public meeting at all; given that a packed kickoff meeting for the contest, which boasts a $500 grand prize, drew the attendence of two council members, Azavea president Robert Cheetham takes some portion of credit for making multiple council meetings come to pass.
But it's unclear if the council has taken any of this to heart. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the proposed new map may not be much better than the one that's already there:
City Council will introduce a bill Thursday to redraw the city's political districts, but the boundaries of the new map are going to be "ugly," Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez said Tuesday.
"We're going to have something. It's not going to be the ideal, consensus map," she said. "I'm not happy with where we are. . . . It still needs a lot of work."
Sánchez, whose twisted, gerrymandered Seventh District has been at the center of the fight to redraw the political map, spoke Tuesday night after the third hearing on redistricting.
Friday is expected to host the opening salvoes in official deliberations over a proposed map. If the council doesn't pass a new map by Sept. 22, its members must wait until they do before they get their paychecks.

The Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft has concluded that care for frail elderly with impaired mobility is not always optimal. Due to multimorbidity, traditional monodisciplinary care is not the best possible care. The Reinier de Graaf Hospital set out to improve their care process to serve the frail elderly best. It was found that the target group has a high risk for functional decline, dependence and reduced quality of life. Thus the target group can benefit from short admission and throughput times. In order to deliver the best possible care, multidisciplinary collaboration is found to be essential. Using soft and hard systems theory combined with thorough data analysis, the current process was evaluated. It was found that the average combined admission and throughput time was 196 days for the target group, in this period a patient visited the hospital 8,6 times. The hospital visits were found to be predominantly for outpatient care. The multidisciplinary care was largely delivered in a sequential manner. This leads to a lack of collaboration between medical specialist, to unnecessary long throughput times and to many hospital visits. To improve the quality of the health care logistics, improvements have been proposed in a process redesign. Instead of delivering care in a sequential manner, the redesign allows for parallel multidisciplinary treatment. In order to do so, a triage appointment is suggested at the start of the care route and appointments with multiple medical specialists should be clustered on a single day. Short admission and throughput times can be achieved by reserving capacity based on expected patient flow. By means of data analysis the expected future input volume is set at 14 patients per week and the mean capacity required was calculated accordingly. To assess the performance of the proposed design under stochastic influence, a discrete event simulation was developed and verified. The simulation results indicate that if 110% of the theoretical capacity is used, for the average patient the throughput time can be reduced by 50% to 73%, depending on the average wait time between visits. On average a simulated patient visited the hospital 4,4 times for 6,7 appointments. The cost for these improvements are an average occupancy drop for medical doctors of 15%.


The IB's Middle Years Programme (MYP) provides a framework of academic challenge and life skills for students aged 11-12 to 16-17 years. It naturally follows the Primary Years Programme and is designed to be an excellent preparation for the IB Diploma Programme.
The MYP, like the other two programmes of the International Baccalaureate, is based on the belief that education can promote understanding among young adults around the world. Fostering intercultural awareness is a fundamental principle of the programme, along with communication and the importance of providing a holistic curriculum in order to better promote the development of the 'whole' child. This is done through considering multiple perspectives, helping students make connections and by using interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning.
Congratulations to students in our MY5 class who participated in this year's first live session of MYP e-assessments. As part of qualifying for the new requirements to attain the MYP certificate, students have now completed work in both e-portfolio and online electronic exams. This type of external assessment is a new facet to the MYP and this new model serves to strengthen the continuum and offer MY5 students formal, recognized qualifications.
As part of our commitment to being forward thinking with regards to students' increasing awareness and engagement with technology, Skagerak International School now holds the designation of 'Leading MYP e-Assessment school'. This badge signals our leadership in a global community of schools that have embraced an innovative, rigorous and globally consistent assessment model in the MYP.
The AOI's have been replaced with Global Contexts that encourage international-mindedness and connection to real world experiences. These contexts also relate more closely to the trans-disciplinary concepts from the PYP, helping to better align the four IB programmes.
You can find more research studies about IB programmes here.
A recent study carried out for the IB by the English National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) has compared the MYP with the two equivalent English school qualifications offered locally and abroad – GCSE and IGCSE.
This study looked at the attributes demonstrated by students eg how civic minded were they? How culturally sensitive? It also looked at the differences in the subject curriculum across all three programmes. Students, teachers and parents were interviewed about their experiences of the different programmes.
As the IB continues to investigate the relationship between performance in the MYP and the DP, the Global Research department is undertaking a study investigating the extent to which the MYP prepares students for success in the DP. The assessment data, collected from over 6,000 students who participated in both the MYP external moderation and the DP end-of-programme exams, will be analysed to explore the impact of moderation performance on DP exam performance.
The data shows the comparison between all candidates and the cohort of IB DP candidates who have also completed the five years of the MYP, in three categories.
Those who pass the IB Diploma.
Those who achieve high scores (40+ points).
Those who achieve a bilingual diploma ie one with two language A subjects rather than a language A and a language B.
From these results, it can be seen that those who complete the five years of the MYP seem to experience higher achievement in the IB Diploma results, two years later.
For many years, the programme model for the MYP has contained a single circle for the five areas of interaction. The former model placed the five areas of interaction closest to the centre; the areas of interaction served as contexts for learning that could better enable interdisciplinary learning. The new model contains a more layered approach to the MYP education.
component of the MYP for developing skills for learning.
• Approaches to teaching—this emphasizes the MYP pedagogy, including collaborative, authentic learning through inquiry.
• Concepts—this shows the emphasis placed on a concept-based curriculum.
An extra circle highlights other key components of the model. Inquiry-based learning may result in action which may in turn be demonstrated by students in the form of service in the community. The MYP culminates in the personal project or the community project, and this features on the model now. This circle demonstrates the clear alignment with action and service, and with the culminating activities in the PYP and the DP.
Some of the subjects have been renamed in the new model.There are still eight subject groups, presented with blurred lines between them to indicate the interdisciplinary nature of the MYP.

A: whatsapp, viber and other applications get all their data from the server so for them its as easy as just storing the activity or fragment name in the sharedPreferences and when app restarts again direct you to the stored activity or fragment and call the APIs again.
I have done something like you want in one of applications. though my app didtn use any API so I had all my datas in the DB and just had to save the present view  name (in shared preferences) user is in by now always. then if app closes or killed by any reason I cud load the same view next time.

De Napolitaanse School was een school van operacomponisten tussen ongeveer 1650 en 1750, die in Napels opgeleid of werkzaam waren.

Francesco Provenzale, Alessandro Scarlatti, Nicola Porpora, Francesco Durante, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Niccolò Piccinni, Giovanni Paisiello, Domenico Cimarosa en Johann Adolf Hasse behoren tot deze school. Typische stijlkenmerken zijn: scheiding van recitatief en aria, bekorting van het recitatief, het vrijwel uitsluitend gebruik van de da capo-vorm in de aria, de virtuositeit van de solozang, de driedelige Italiaanse of Napolitaanse ouverture (snel–langzaam–snel).

Door de invloed van Pietro Metastasio kwam er na 1720 een scheiding tussen de (ernstige) opera seria (virtuositeit in de aria's; weinig koren) en de (komische) opera buffa (recitativo secco; parlando; ritmische levendigheid). De Napolitaanse stijl breidde zich begin 18de eeuw uit over geheel Europa.

Thank you for the interesting letter on stallions and my first reaction is that I would like to receive more communications like this and to be consulted on the policy of the Society.
Taking the second paragraph first, as a stallion owner, I really wouldn't mind the Society guiding me in the use of my stallion as I feel that the genetic diversity and preservation of rare blood lines far supercedes any personal preference.
Odin has been one of the most successful stallions in all disciplines from showing to hacking, from jumping to dressage and we have done a lot with him for two main reasons. Firstly I don't think people will bring their mares to you unless they see the stallion out and about and secondly, apart from the native stallions, anyone "up country" will do the breed a better service by letting people see the ponies working and, hopefully, winning, in mixed company than having them run wild in a field.
We have had, I think, three stallion premiums for Odin and they have been greatly appreciated but I would not be at all sorry to see them go if it benefitted the breed overall. I think it is probably a dodgy idea to award premiums, I need not remind the Committee of the problems caused when only some ponies get premiums which then leads you to a "blanket" premium which rather defeats the object.
Assuming that the colt would not have been licensed in the first place if the Society did not feel it was a worthy example of its breed, then in theory at least, all should get a premium who come forward. If you go to the other extreme and just award premiums to class winners, then you get this "Show Winner" bias. There is a third option and that is to award premiums in categories eg performance stallion - points achieved in ridden activities not just shows, rare bloodlines and perhaps stallion on native heath.
I think you are probably right though and to give travel incentives to attend parades is possibly the best method but you should perhaps issue a standard form for owners to fill in so that each stallion carries the same info and those of us who write better than others (!) don't dominate the parade with our information. The form should carry name, area, stud fee, bloodlines especially poining out any rare blood lines, achievements not only in showing but is he good to ride out? Does he run with mares? etc and anything else that the Committee deems useful. These could be photocopied and made available to mare owners at the parade or the info could be put into a directory.
I do not accept that a directory would be too expensive to do and I will do it for you if you wish. It should contain photos and be a real shop window both for the breed and for the stallions. Print costs are dropping and while I would need the Society to pay for these, I will put it all together and phone all stallion owners to make sure they send back their forms and photos. If the forms could go out in the Spring Newsletter, I could get something together by April to print by May and therefore available to mare owners this season. I could explore sponsorship but I think you could put some of the premium money towards it. This should encourage the use of less popular stallions. It would need an informed article at the front on choosing the bloodlines. It would help enormously if someone could recommend various blood lines for individual mares. I would love the Society to be able to tell me which stallion would be best within say 50 - 100 miles for my Blackthorn mare by Buzzard out of Muffin - I am sure it is not Odin but which bloodlines would be helpful to the continuation of the breed? I don't know, I want someone to tell me.
I think the last bullet point about unbiased advice on genetics is good and can we see lots, lots more of that advice. I don't even know if Odin carries any rare blood lines on his dams side, in fact although I have an extended pedigree, I don't really know what it all means as regards bloodlines and the future of the breed.
Personally, I don't really need an incentive to show off my stallion although a nice rosette is always appreciated. I would prefer to go to a parade without any premiums as there is always that tenseness that one may not be awarded. I know for a fact that this puts off people bringing their stallions, esp after the Midlands parade a few years ago. Distance can be a problem - I think it would be great if we could have a parade at mixed shows too - can we have one at Ponies UK where we may attract new enthusiasts into the breed? It wouldn't matter if we had four or more Parades to enable people to come as long as people only took one travel premium (if you offer them). They could go to all four but just get financial help for one.
So, aboloish premiums, have stallion parades, offer travel assistance if required and do a very good stallion directory - I really don't think the current one is anything like adequate.
And please, lots more impartial advice on bloodlines, I would really find that helpful.

The Yellowstone River is still running clear and low. Water temperatures are still looking good through this week even though it has been pretty warm(even hot) and sunny. Most of the reports are of okay to slower fishing but we have had a few really good days on the upper stretches with terrestrials. As things cool off early next week and we see some precipitation the fishing should only get better. Look for BWO's if you get some clouds. Your small parachute attracters will be a good choice. The streamer bite has been a little hit or miss but should also get better in the next week. The hopper dropper has been working with a rubberlegs or a soft hackle PT nymph trailing off of a small golden or tan hopper. Fish the moving water. Look for pockets and shelves along with the riffles and foam lines. If you are throwing the dry fly, use a longer leader (10-12 feet) and 5x.

Watch: 'Libs of TikTok' Unveils Her Identity, Reveals Secret Offer from DeSantis
A televised interview last week yielded a surprising anecdote about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The moment came during Tucker Carlson's interview with Chaya Raichik, the previously anonymous woman behind the frequently-viral Libs of TikTok Twitter account.
Although she had previously been interviewed by Carlson, Raichik's face was shown on air for the first time during the interview on "Tucker Carlson Today."
During the interview, Raichik talked about the backlash she has experienced for her Twitter page, which reposts videos created by liberal leftists — often public school teachers or others who work with children — who gleefully share how they promote transgenderism and other LGBT issues to the youngsters in their care.
Raichik and her family members have been harassed over the Twitter posts, particularly after Raichik was "doxed," or had her personal information publicized — in April by Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz.

It was a frightening experience, but Raichik described a moment when support and encouragement came from a surprising source.
"When I was doxed, someone from Ron DeSantis' team called me," Raichik told Carlson.
"She said, 'The governor wanted me to get you a message … he said, If you don't feel safe — for you or your family — if you need a place to go, to hide, to stay … you can come to the governor's mansion.
"'We have a guest house for you, and you can come and stay as long as you need.'"
Do you follow "Libs of TikTok?"
#firefly-poll-container #firefly-poll-results-no::before { content: "No: "; }
Carlson was incredulous. "Really?" "What?" "The governor of Florida?" he interjected at various points in the interview.
"Yes. I can't even — I was … almost in tears," Raichik told the Fox news host. "Like, the governor of Florida … like he has nothing better … "
"And you're living in California?" Carlson asked.
"I'm living in California," she confirmed. "And he took time out of his — I'm assuming — extremely busy schedule. I mean, he's the governor of Florida. And to send someone to call me, to make sure I'm safe."
"That's crazy!" Carlson responded.
"Unreal," Raichik agreed.
"And invited you to stay at his house?"
"Yeah," Raichik nodded.

"You can come and stay as long as you need.'" pic.twitter.com/HyzVhgDKd7
In a Twitter post Tuesday, Raichik shared an epilogue to that incident.
"I recently got the opportunity to thank @GovRonDeSantis in person," she posted.
"He was so gracious. Brushed it off. He said 'of course! You do great work!' It wasn't even a question for him.
"Genuinely a kindhearted person."

Her Twitter followers were not surprised at that revelation, either.
"That's our Heavy D for ya," wrote @Ceceliaism. "'Thank me for what? Doing what any decent person would do? Psssh.' Love my Gov."

Several detractors chimed in to accuse Raichik of hate, but others defended her actions.
"[I]'m sure the attacks will come at you from every direction. Be strong sister, There are millions of Americans with you and behind you!" wrote @RealitySaloon.
"You are a brave American hero and I thank you for everything you do," wrote @Nocturnal_Count. "Our governor is the best. You won't only be protected by our governor but you will also be protected by a lot of us patriots in Florida as well. You have a lot of people behind you and who care about you."

How come some Sklo Union items have a "Bohemia Crystal"-label instead of the "regular" "Bohemia Glass"-label? I'm not referring to items produced by Jablonecke Sklarny and I'm well aware that "Bohemia Glass"-labels can be found on art glass as well as the pressed stuff. I think I've seen Jurnikls hobnail low vase/jardiniere (pattern no. 13227) labeled "Bohemia Crystal" on two different occasions.
explains it quite well, I think.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but it sounds a bit far fetched that the only reasopn is that they didn't differentiate the two linguistically?
This is very interesting issue, we really have two different labels - both used by Crystalex and Glassexport.
I did not find any reasonable rule when was used Glass and when Crystal label, I will try to discover this issue. M ypersonal opinion is that it has somethingto do with marketing rather than with glass material.
On the other hand I have a ZBS figure and a paperweight (unknown factory) that has a "Bohemia Glass" label, but then again maybe those aren't crystal...I have plenty of Jablonecke candlesticks but I've never seen a "Bohemia Crystal" label on anything from that factory.
There is now a third label. I bought this set of glasses (which are glass) recently. In reviewing the labels on my collection, and posting any not yet shown on the glassphotograps site, I noticed they have this label.
There is a set of labels used by individual factories within Crystalex koncern.
For fun I uncluded two labels used by Glassexport for Soviet Union.
Can I suggest Jindrich that that set of labels would be an excellent addition to the labels section of the glassphotographs site - particularly that first photo with the multiple labels on it.
A few months ago I bought a secondhand booklet called 'Bohemia Crystal, Glass that conquered the world' by Antonin Langhamer and Ladislav Pekar. It was published in 1991 by Glassexport Ltd on the occasion of the Universal Czechoslovak Exhibition in Prague 1991. Not much of a read, but at the back, page 46 and 47 it shows a lot of trademarks and labels, including which ones were used at that time (in 1991 presumably).
Every factory has it's own symbol (and it conveniently lists the correct factory with each symbol). I counted 13 different symbols, excluding the special labels like Exbor, Moser and Skrdlovice. The symbol labels are ovals with Bohemia in big letters, Czechoslovakia in small print below that, the symbol of the factory and an indication of hand-made or cut crystal or not.
Kaliglass: yellow labels with black letters. If it's handmade, it says so on the label. If it doesn't say anything, it's machine made.
Lead crystal: blue label with gold letters. If it's handcut, it says 'hand cut lead crystal over 24% pbo' on the bottom of the label. If it's machine cut, it says 'fine cut lead crystal over 24% pbo'. If the label is red and it just says 'lead crystal over 24% pbo' at the bottom, it's pressed crystal.
From the text I think that this particular system of distinguishing labels was in use since 1989.
It says on the same page that the terms Bohemia Crystal and Bohemia Glass were trademarked since the second half of the fifties, but no explanation was given when they used 'glass' or when 'crystal' with the generic glassexport labels.
I suppose that scan from this Langhamer book (look for Crystalex) you can find at my web site, if not, I will fix it asap.
where is stored the database of all registered trade marks. But the search engine is not the perfect one, and it is very difficult to access information about the old Czechoslovakian trademarks. I already wrote to my task list, that one sunny day I have to contact this Industrial Property authority and try to get some advice how to get all my old labels solved.
But we must not forget another issue. Many labels had not been registered as trade mark.
Knowing that labels and trade marks had minor importance in "socialist" Czechoslovakian glass industry, I did not pay proper attention to this issue.

What's in Office 2016 to Make It a Worthy Enterprise Upgrade
Don Reisinger
1What's in Office 2016 to Make It a Worthy Enterprise Upgrade
Touted as the perfect complement to Windows 10, Office 2016 is now available. Here is why companies should upgrade to the new version of the productivity suite.
2It's All About Collaboration With Co-Workers
Working together and collaborating with co-workers is much easier in Office 2016. It's now much easier for users to work together on a Word or PowerPoint document and see the edits in real time. After those edits are completed, users can go back to see version histories. Another important collaboration feature is a handy "Share" button that makes it easy to share documents with other people.
3Multiplatform Support Will Be Useful
Expect multiplatform support to be an important component in what ultimately drives sales for Office. Since Microsoft has opted for a cross-platform launch, users can start working on a document on their PC and go to a smartphone, tablet or Mac and pick up where they left off. The barriers to getting Office to work well on all devices have been removed.
4Office 2016 Promises Faster Access to Key Features
Microsoft says that Office 2016 users will gain faster access to key features. For instance, a new feature called Tell Me will allow users to ask the application what they're looking for ("I want to create a bar graph," for instance) and the software will guide users to that command. Microsoft says that its hope is to make it as easy as possible for users to find features that have been heretofore buried in apps.
5There Are Some Extra Features for Windows 10 Users
While Microsoft has made several meaningful changes over the years, the company is still committed to getting people tied into its platforms. Perhaps that's why Office 2016 has some extra benefits when used on Windows 10. For one, users can use Windows Hello to sign in to both their PCs and Office 365 in a flash. In addition, Windows 10 owners will find support for Sway in Office 2016, giving them the ability to quickly make presentations.
6Security Features Are Everywhere
Security features have been added to Office 2016 to make the platform a bit more appealing to CIOs and CISOs. Microsoft says that Office 2016 comes with built-in data loss prevention to give IT administrators more control over document sharing. In addition, the platform includes multifactor authentication. Later this year, Microsoft says it will add Enterprise Data Protection to the Windows 10 version, which will allow companies to securely share content across their apps and network locations.
7It's an Office Optimized for Mobile Devices
Microsoft has done a fine job of optimizing Office 2016 for mobile devices. Whether it's a Windows 10 Mobile product or an Android or iOS device, users will find that the platforms are still quite usable on a range of smartphones and tablets. Office is optimized for touch on all of those platforms, making it easier to move around and get work done.
8The Cloud Is Readily Available
The cloud is readily accessible from Office 365. In fact, Microsoft's software includes quick access to the company's OneDrive cloud storage. In addition, the cloud will be used to sync documents across devices. Users will even get 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage when downloading Office 2016.
9The Bing 'Smart Lookup' Seems Like a Smart Option
When writing a document or creating a graph, users will often need to check to see if something is factual. For those moments, Microsoft has added a nifty feature called Bing Smart Lookup. Upon highlighting something in the document, users will be able to query Bing and get relevant search results within Office. The Smart Lookup feature could prove to be a nice add-on for those seeking reassurance that what they're typing is indeed true.
10Cortana Is Fully Implemented
Users who rely on Cortana and enjoy using the virtual personal assistant will like what they find in Office 2016. The productivity suite includes full support for Cortana, helping users to schedule meetings, handle calendar items in Outlook and much more. Cortana is always present in Office 2016.
11An Upgrade No Big Deal You're Already Working With Office 365
It's hard to find a reason to pass up Office 2016. For one thing, Office 2016 doesn't come with an additional cost for current Office 365 users, so it won't impact budgets. Better yet, Microsoft is offering a trial period of Office 2016 so users can check it out before they update. Simply put, there's no risk to downloading Office 2016. The app is similar to the previous version, comes with improved features, works across devices and doesn't cost any more than an Office 365 subscription.


There follows a rolling up of sleeves. If I'm going to do this properly there are a few things that must be made straight, to myself. So perversely I shall write the colophon, and let us smirk at the derivation of finishing touch when this is the beginning and I have already achieved so little.
I like to write using Scrivener. This is already a lie as I hate to write. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the fluidity of it when it comes, but the gut wrenching self reflexive post-writing doubt that you've put your name against something so poor? No one likes that.
But I do love Scrivener and I have used it for scripts, research papers and blog type writing, and once you get past the separation of creation and output, the flexibility of the non-linear is enchanting. So I have set up a Scrivener project called Blogposts.scriv and I have some folders: Ideas; archive and dead. The current post gets written in the main part of the project using MultiMarkdown, so it is easy to compile it into HTML from there.
Then, to continue the theme of preventing writing using distracting techniques I have an AppleScript on a watched folder that puts the HTML into the clipboard and then opens a new post in WordPress ready to go. Paste in the HTML and it can be fettled in WordPress from then on in.
Ah. Now we come to it. I, like you, spend much of my paid day writing already. I sometimes enjoy it, but they aren't really my words, and I remain as professionally interested in my topic as ever (the water's cold, but lovely once you're in), but in terms of topics it is well represented already by people who are doing a great job of enjoying the cold water, but in terms of topics they are not ones that I feel my fingers will begin to fly because for me they are so well trodden. I am determined that if I have something to share I can do it here, but it won't be the blog's purpose.
The views expressed by Jaron Lanier that we may have made a terrible mistake in letting the web give it all away for free and the power flowing away to the owners of the networks.
The ideas rendered down by Adam Curtis in "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" surrounding cybernetics, self forming networks and that many of the principles that have been clutched to chests in the world of social media may not be based in reality.
I am entertained (and so follows the name of the blog) when people and organisations think that people will behave like robots. I am appalled when repeatedly people actually do.
I am interested in the large scale social changes that are going on within organisations and what that means for management, for individuals and for society at large.
I am interested in the trade-offs that people are willing to make, are able to to make, to balance their work with their lives.
and I am fascinated about what tools and practices organisations retain out of habit and what will be the implications of the fallout when people finally notice.
I have means, motive and opportunity. Apparently. Talent and time? We'll see eh?


Oh man! These potatoes were so delicious! I was trying to think of some new side dishes and I thought of taking the classic ranch potatoes but putting a new spin on them. A really really sinful spin I should say! These totally hit the spot, and my husband deemed them his new favorite potatoes - score! I just love when a recipe idea turns out good :) Give these a try next time to want to switch things up a bit!
Place your cut potatoes into a large bowl. Add the oil and mix all of the potatoes around in it to coat them evenly.
Add your ranch packet, and some salt & pepper and mix thoroughly.
Add half of your cheese (1 cup) and the heavy cream and stir making sure all of the potatoes are evenly coated.
Transfer potatoes to a 9x13 baking dish and cover with a sheet of aluminum foil. Make several slits in the top of the foil to allow the potatoes to vent while cooking.
Place baking dish on your pre-heated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Remove the potatoes out of the oven and remove the foil and give the potatoes a good stir. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and place under the broiler on high and cook until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

6 takeaways from Ukraine's presidential vote
Comedian's success shows how country has evolved since 2014 revolution.

KIEV — Ukraine's presidential election proved sometimes it's reality that mirrors fiction when Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who played the president on a TV show, won in a landslide victory.
But the vote also shed light on how cultural and political dynamics have evolved in the country over the five years since a pro-Western revolution shook up its leadership, and since the start of a war with Russian-backed rebels in the east.
Here are six takeaways now that the votes have been counted.
1. Language differences matter less and less
Many countries are split along ethnic, linguistic, confessional or cultural lines — Ukraine is no different.

The west of the country is mainly Ukrainian-speaking, and the east is largely (though not exclusively) Russian-speaking. The regions also diverge in their histories, economic bases and, to a degree, cultures.

In past elections, this has been an issue. An electoral map for the 2010 presidential vote shows a line cutting diagonally across the country, splitting the predominantly Russian-speaking regions from the rest in terms of how many people voted for either the pro-Moscow candidate Viktor Yanukovych or Yulia Tymoshenko.
It's not a clean break — these kinds of divisions don't tend to be. But previous candidates have successfully exploited this split: Yanukovych owed his surprise victory in the 2006 parliamentary election to a large degree by playing on the resentment felt by those in the Russian-speaking south and east toward western and central Ukrainians.
During this campaign, incumbent and Ukrainian-language advocate Petro Poroshenko tried to employ a similar tactic aimed at western Ukraine, with his slogan "Army, Language, Faith."
But this time, the strategy failed: The electoral map shows green representing support for Zelenskiy — a Russian speaker — stretching across regional and linguistic boundaries.
While some voters in the east may have voted for Zelenskiy because he's a Russian speaker, what seems clear is that for a large number of Ukrainians, there are now more important matters to unite them.
2. Moscow's claims of rampant anti-Semitism and fascism debunked
Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukraine of being run by a Jew-hating "fascist junta." But at the moment, the two most powerful people in Ukraine are of Jewish heritage: President-elect Zelenskiy and Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.
This state of affairs would be unimaginable in many of Ukraine's neighbors, including Russia itself.
And Ukraine's ultra-nationalists are typically an anemic presence at the polls. Ruslan Koshulynsky, a joint candidate from far-right parties, won only 2.2 percent in the first round of this election.
Ukraine is undoubtedly a different place than it was a century, or even 30 years, ago when anti-Semitic attitudes and violence were much more commonplace. Before World War II, its territory was one of the world's largest centers of Jewish life, but the Holocaust, assimilation and emigration reduced these numbers to a fraction of their former size.
Today, violence against Jews and Jewish spaces is minimal, and the Jewish community is small but active.

Still, neither Zelenskiy nor Groysman seem to identify as Jewish beyond their heritage, which raises the question of whether they would have enjoyed the same success if they were religious or more outspoken about their faith.
And while the far right is a fringe movement, it wields influence far beyond its numbers. Ukraine's media and public intellectuals also often appear afraid to admit that the ultra-nationalists even exist, for fear of this being used for Russian propaganda.
At the very least, Zelenskiy's victory demonstrates that a Jewish background today presents no barrier to the country's highest office. And this is no small thing.
3. Ukrainians want a Superman — but can easily turn against him
Like Zelenskiy, Poroshenko was elected president in 2014 amid a surge in anti-establishment sentiments and high hopes that he would tackle corruption and dismantle the country's oligarch-dominated system.
And similar to criticism that Zelenskiy now faces, some observers at that time argued Poroshenko was not the best-suited person for the job, saying his supporters were too optimistic.
These skeptics were drowned out by the enthusiasm that his election unleashed: Poroshenko triumphed in the first round of voting, trouncing all challengers with nearly 55 percent of the vote.

Fast-forward five years, and Poroshenko has endured the worst thrashing for a second-round presidential candidate in Ukraine's history, winning just over 24 percent of the vote.
All of Ukraine's leaders have followed this pattern to a degree: Elevated hopes in the beginning, followed by crushing disappointment. Yanukovych, of course, was ousted by a revolution.
Whether Zelenskiy can break this cycle will be something to watch. For one thing, his opponents question whether he's really the man to curb the influence of rich business figures, given his links to oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.
4. Being pro-Russian won't win elections
Before the 2014 revolution, candidates who advocated closer ties to Moscow were an electoral force to be reckoned with. Those days are past, and may be gone forever.
Of course, not all things Russian are completely taboo. Ukraine's neighbor to the north is still one of its largest trading partners, Russian pop culture is widely embraced, and an untold number of families straddle the border.
It would be wrong to say the idea of aligning Ukraine with Russia couldn't be revived in the future, or that there are no Moscow-friendly politicians. But the pro-Russian camp at the moment remains weak, divided and without a strong leader.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely waiting for the first opportunity to test his new counterpart.
And the mood in the country has definitely shifted five years after the start of the war in Ukraine's east, which has killed more than 13,000 people. The shared trauma has also helped forge a common identity.
Though Zelenskiy is a Russian-speaker from the country's southeast, his campaign rhetoric indicated he knows he must hew to Ukraine's pro-Western path.
"Ukrainians want an end to the war, but not at any price," said Alyona Getmanchuk, director of the Kiev-based think tank New Europe Center. "There are red lines that they don't want Zelenskiy to cross."
5. Parliamentary election will be rough
The presidential election campaign was a heated one — with accusations of corruption, dirty tricks and ties to oligarchs — and the parliamentary election later this year could be just as intense. The vote is slated for October, but could be moved forward.
Ukraine's political system splits power between the president and parliament (the government is formed on the basis of the parliament majority) and Zelenskiy needs a big win in the election for his political program to be viable.
Ukraine has elected a 41-year-old comedian with no political experience whose concrete policy positions are still largely unknown.
Equally, his opponents see the parliamentary vote as a way for them to be able to set the political agenda, despite his landslide win.
Poroshenko hinted at what's to come in his post-election speech, which was part concession, part a Churchillian call to arms.
"We did not win the battle today. But it does not mean that we lost the war. We have plenty of battles ahead. I want to emphasize: Ukraine will definitely win," Poroshenko said.
"I am leaving office, but I want to firmly underline that I am not leaving politics. I remain in politics and I will fight for Ukraine."
Others from within his camp were more succinct. "No panic! Close ranks!" parliament speaker Andriy Parubiy wrote on Twitter.
6. Things are about to get even more interesting
To sum it up, Ukraine has elected a 41-year-old comedian with no political experience whose concrete policy positions are still largely unknown.
At the same time, millions of voters have invested in him hopes that he can finish what was started by the Euromaidan revolution five years ago, banish corruption and successfully carry out a process of "de-oligarchization." These same voters are known to shift their allegiances dramatically if their expectations are not met.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely waiting for the first opportunity to test his new counterpart.
Fasten your seatbelts.

People across the UK are being urged to use as little water as possible after extreme weather hit supplies
The plea to the public was issued by four water companies
People across the UK are being urged to use as little water as possible after extreme weather hit supplies.
Residents of some parts of London and the South East said they had been without water for more than 24 hours by Sunday night, with little indication of when supplies would return.
Midlands provider Severn Trent said some water had been cut in the Birmingham area due to "unprecedented" leaks, which would take an unknown amount of time to fix.
Some schools in the area warned they may have to close as a result of the disruption.
Suppliers in Wales, Scotland and Ireland, as well as the North West, Yorkshire and the South West, also warned of shutoffs thanks to burst pipes following the recent freeze and thaw.
In a joint statement on Sunday, four South East companies said they were experiencing "exceptionally high levels of demand" and Thames Water said 12,000 homes were without water.
Big freeze cost UK economy up to £1bn a day
They urged those who still had access to avoid all but essential water use.
Taking short showers rather than baths, being careful to turn taps off and only running washing machines and dishwashers with a full load "will make a real difference", the statement said.
Companies also asked that customers check their pipes for bursts and call a plumber if necessary, explaining that outdoor taps were especially vulnerable.
The problems are caused by pipes damaged by frozen water in the low temperatures, but some suppliers warned that the thaw could also cause ground movement that would further damage infrastructure.
Distribution sites have been set up in London for customers to collect bottled water.
On Twitter, angry customers contacted their providers to complain about the cut off supply and call for further information.
South London resident Natasha Prayag told Sky News she was without water late into Sunday night, after her supply was cut off on Saturday evening.
She said she had travelled to her family's house to shower and had been helped by friends who delivered bottled water, as most nearby shops had sold out.
"I've been OK," she said, but shared concerns for the "elderly and sick who cannot venture out to collect water" from a station more than a mile away.

In the joint statement, water companies said they "sincerely apologise" to those experiencing problems.
"We are putting as much extra water as we can into our local networks and fixing leaks and bursts as quickly as possible," it said.
On Sunday night services for vulnerable customers were being prioritised and locations for the distribution of bottled water set up.
London's water collection points are located at Hampstead No 1 Pond Car Park in North London, and the Homebase on Woodgate Drive, Streatham Vale.

Abuse can take many forms. The one thing to remember is 'how do I feel?' If it feels wrong and uncomfortable, then that isn't right. We shouldn't live in fear of our partner (or family member), wondering what will happen next, wondering if (s)he will be happy with us today.
The abuser will normally blame anything other than themselves for what has happened: 'it's the drink; my work; stress etc' these are excuses! It's all about control and they use many ways to control us. By controlling they begin to isolate us, deprive us of our needs and try to make us dependent on them, checking up on us all the time, sometimes asking for photographic evidence of where we are.
Threats, assaults, humiliation and intimidation are used to harm, punish or frighten their victim; us. Does loving someone mean we have to always be there doing what they want us to do? Or are we able to pursue our own interests as well as give time to our partner?

Q: How to connect to Asana's API using Asana's JS/Ruby library I have a backend API written in Ruby and a client App that uses Angular. I'd like to authenticate the user to authenticate the user via the Angular app.
As such I've created my App on Asana. I'm having a few issues though:
First issue: I'm using the Authorisation Endpoint of Authorisation Code Grant. After reading the docs, I realised that I have to use Implicit Grant instead, which is more suitable for a browser-based app, however when I change it to Implicit Grant, save it and reload the page, it changes back to Authorisation Code Grant.
Then on my Angular App I have the following code:
            var client = Asana.Client.create({
              clientId: 133,
              clientSecret: 'mysecretcode',
              redirectUri: 'http://localhost:7699/profile'
            });
            client.useOauth({
                flowType: Asana.auth.PopFlow
            });
            client.authorize().then(function () {
                console.log('Auth completed');
            }).catch(function (err) {
                console.log(err);
            });
            client.users.me().then(function (result) {
                console.log(result);
            });

The above almost works. I do get redirected to Asana for the authorisation part, once I click on "Allow", I'm redirected back to my app, and I do get a code as part of the url. The code is something like:
http://localhost:7699/profile#access_token=very_long_string

If I understood the docs correctly, I could use the above access_token to make my first request. When I tried using Asana's JS library to make a request like so:
client.users.me().then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
});

Please note the client object I'm referring to is the same I've created earlier for authorisation. The above returns a 401, Unauthorised code.
Then I tried the following:
var params = {
    grant_type: 'refresh_token',
    client_id: 876787,
    client_secret: 'some_secret',
    redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:7699/profile',
    code: my_access_code
};
$http.post('https://app.asana.com/-/oauth_token', params).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
});

Which also gets me a 401 unauthorised code.
What am I doing wrong here?

A: I recommend you start by copy-pasting one of the examples from the node-asana examples directory into your app, and seeing if that works.
If you want to keep using the popup flow, the thing I suspect you are missing is the call to Asana.auth.PopupFlow.runReceiver(); in popup_receiver.html. This should be on the page pointed to by your redirect_uri, and tells the page that created the popup the auth data it needs to make subsequent requests. Also note how the page that originates the authentication request (popup.html) includes actions that happen after authentication in the callback passed to then: this ensures that these actions happen only after the user completes authentication through the popup.


I was able to reproduce this on IE8-10.
Page is still displayed but this URL looks ugly. Additionally this causes preview plugin not working in git version because besides code there are also comments which seem to break URL - Ie can't read it and page isn't displayed.

Precision Buckets are designed for greater control of the emptying of material from the bucket. The long bottom part of the bucket creates friction that slows the emptying and that gives the operator much more precision. There are two versions offered; straight bucket with parallel side gables and a conical bucket that has a narrower front for even greater precision. Both version benefit from Ålö's notorious conical bucket back for a clean and complete emptying of material. The front loader version with Euro or SMS hooks has a depth of 2 meters because of limitations in the loading capacity. A wheel loader version is available with Big BM hooks with a depth of 2.5 meters and has much higher capacity to maximise the capability of larger wheel loaders.
