Even if you don't think you may need legal help or legal advice now, we urge you to ask us for free information that can save you money and protect your assets in the future.
The Levinson Firm's focus is on helping you or your loved ones pay for needed care while protecting assets to the greatest possible extent. This includes providing experienced representation across a range of practice areas relevant to the practical needs of seniors and their loved ones facing the challenge of paying for long-term care.
Our legal knowledge is complimented by a willingness to help you deal with other aspects of long-term care planning-including sharing our knowledge of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other long-term care options. We are the ONLY Delaware Elder Law firm with a former Medicaid case worker on staff!
Karla went into practice with her father, the late Larry Levinson, in 2007. Since then, she has assisted hundreds of Delaware families with asset protection and long-term care planning, and really enjoys giving families the good news that they have qualified for Medicaid and/or Veterans Benefits. Karla and her husband love to travel and have been all over the world, although recently, their biggest adventure is taking care of their young son. When she gets a few free moments, Karla enjoys running and spending time with her mom and two younger sisters (they all live just within a few streets of each other). Karla is also always reading – if you need a book recommendation (beach read or New York Times Bestseller), Karla is your woman!
Tanya joined the firm in 2015 as our second attorney. She has a wealth of expertise in estate planning, long-term care planning, and probate matters. Tanya handles all of our estate administrations, general estate planning, and most of our asset protection cases. Tanya is an animal lover and frequently rides her horse, Moo, in local events. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling with her husband. Recently, the couple took a road trip driving along the famed Oregon Trail. They visited and learned about several historical landmarks along the way, including Chimney Rock and Fort Laramie. This helped fulfill Tanya's childhood dream of being a pioneer in the Wild West.
Dawn excels at getting our clients qualified for Medicaid and Veterans Benefits. She joined the office in 2009 after working in fundraising at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Dawn and her husband stay busy running after their two sons and trying to make them do their homework without much complaint. In her spare time, Dawn loves running, hiking, and reading. Her claim to fame at the office is being (by far!) the most organized employee. We are all jealous of her spotless desk and spreadsheets.
Tonya came on staff back in 2006, after many years at the Delaware Medicaid office. Since that time, she has processed hundreds of Medicaid applications for our clients, with amazing results. Tonya and her husband spend most of their time wrangling their three nephews. A native Delawarean, Tonya enjoys spending time with her large extended family and trying out new recipes. Nothing makes her happier than cooking up a Thanksgiving feast while gabbing about old Lifetime movies.
Technically, Julia's start date was 2009, but she has actually been working for the office in some capacity since she was in middle school. Julia is the middle Levinson daughter (Karla's younger sister) and our talented office manager. An engineer by trade, Julia paused her career at Gore to come back to the family business and keep us in line. By day, she handles billing and human resources and by night, she and her husband are super-parents to their son and daughter. Julia is mom extraordinaire and can answer questions about car seats and soccer schedules in her sleep!
Kate is the Jill-of-all-trades at the office. She handles our marketing and outreach, and speaks at length with each prospective client to determine the best fit for services. Kate worked in event planning at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (with Dawn!) prior to starting with the Levinsons in 2010. Between caring for their son and daughter and trying to DIY their new house, Kate and her husband don't get much sleep. But that doesn't stop Kate from trying to perfect her brownie recipe (she swears chocolate chips are the key).
It's hard to believe Candy only started with us in February of 2017 because it feels like she's been a member of the team forever. Candy is our trusted Client Relationship Manager, handling all of our new client intake and keeping our community events moving forward. Candy started her career as a paralegal and returned to the field after her most important work – raising three children! Now that her daughters are in college and her son is in high school, she actually gets a bit of spare time, to play tennis, spend time with her husband at the beach in Ocean City, Maryland, and wrangle her kids' pets.
Bridgette joined our team in April 2018 as our Legal Assistant Clerk. She oversees much of the behind-the-scenes legal preparations and has become an integral part of our process. If you have questions about a property deed or need information on a guardianship matter, Bridgette is your go-to person! With a young daughter, Bridgette doesn't have much downtime, but when she does get a free moment, she loves relaxing with a good book. She and her daughter also enjoy spending time at the beach whenever they get a chance. A self-described movie buff, Bridgette loves catching new movies as soon as they hit theaters.
As Delaware's oldest and largest firm dedicated to Medicaid Planning we are committed to providing up-to-date solutions to your long-term care planning needs. We have eight staff members with the knowledge of the Delaware Medicaid process. Unlike less experienced attorneys who may talk to you about a plan but leave you on your own to deal with the Medicaid application process, The Levinson Firm, LLC is with you every step of the way.


In the past week the Olympics have brought us pint-sized phenoms like Gabby Douglas (and her hair), Missy Franklin, and Katie Ledecky. But even in the midst of the Olympic Games it's important to remember that pint-sized achievers come in a variety of forms. Sure, a lot of them are athletes. Some excel in Olympic sports that receive less attention than the events dominating primetime (tape-delayed) broadcasts. For instance, I found this piece on five- and six-year-olds competing in triathlons in the Boston area quite interesting. Others excel in sports not currently included in the Olympic games, like golf. Based on yesterday's New York Times article about 10-year-old golfer Latanna Stone (the youngest woman to ever play in the United States Women's Amateur golf tournaments) I'm sure her family would be pushing for her to compete in the Olympics at some point.
Athletes are great, and definitely deserve recognition, but we should also remember kids who love music, art, and even business.
I'm not sure Juilliard would let him in, but it is clear that Juilliard is interested in developing more international young musical talent. I found it fascinating that they will be opening a new campus in China.
If there are big bucks to be made as a prodigy on the musical scene, the young art market is even more promising. Check out the kind of money child artists have been raking in recently; 5-year-old Aelita Andre creates paintings with price tags around $12,000 and nine-year-old Kieron Williams 24 paintings for $386,000.
That's impressive until you consider 12-year-old Willa Doss. Four years ago, with the help of her mother, Doss started her own cosmetics line focused on sophisticated, tween skincare.
Now described as a mogul I'm sure Willa (and her mom) are raking in more than her pint-sized artist counterparts.
I don't think 12-year-old Ophelia Horton is making as much money as 12-year-old Doss, but she is establishing herself as the next big preteen fashion blogger. That mantle has been worn very successfully by Tavi Gevinson (recently profiled in the Times and wonderfully profiled a few years ago in The New Yorker, where I first read about her) who has now started an online fashion magazine.
I wonder if Horton and Gevinson will blog about Doss, or if they use her products? Or if they plan to but any pint-sized phenom artwork? At the very least I hope the British Horton has taken a blogging break to enjoy the London Olympics, whether she roots for other pint-sized phenom athletes or not.

Essay on Rastafari Religion
Submitted By drsjr99
Rastafari Religion
The religion I choose was Rastafari, it's a religion I'm somewhat familiar with by personally knowing members of this religion, but I an unfamiliar to its teachings, origins, practices, and understandings. Through valid research I hope to be enlightened as well as educate the reader into the understandings of the Rastafari religion. My objective is to get a sound view into the life of the Rasta, and the Rastafarian culture.
Rastafarian is an afro-centric religious and social movement based in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. Stemming from the roots of Rastafarian in rising against the post-colonial oppression of poor blacks, Rasta's typically come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Especially difficult economic hardships in Jamaica saw a distinctive rise in the movement's following. At the time of Jamaica's independence in the 1960's, virtually all Rastafarians were members of the 79 percent of the population classified as lower class (Waters, 50). In the past few decades, however, especially through the influence of Reggae music, the movement has gained a more international and cosmopolitan following.
Rastafarian is an Abrahamic religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the Ethiopian emperor from 1930 to 1974 as God incarnate and the Messiah who will deliver believers to the Promised Land, identified by Rasta's as Ethiopia. It has its roots in black-empowerment and back-to-Africa movements. It originated in Jamaica and its followers continue to be concentrated there, although smaller populations of Rasta's can be found in many countries today. Rastafari hold to many Jewish and Christian beliefs. Rastas accept the existence of a single triune god, called Jam, who has incarnated on earth several times, including in the form of Jesus. They accept much of the Bible, although they believe that its message has been corrupted over time by Babylon, which is commonly identified with Western, white culture. Specifically, they accept the prophecies in the Book of Revelations concerning the second coming of the Messiah, which they believe has already occurred in the form of Selassie. Before his coronation, Selassie was known as Raps Tamari Malone, from which the movement takes its name.
Haile Selassie
(23 July 1892 – 27 August 1975), born Ras Tafari Makonnen Woldemikael, was Ethiopia's regent from 1916 to 1930 and Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He was the heir to a dynasty that traced its origins by tradition from King Solomon and Queen Makeda, Empress of Axum, known in the Abrahamic tradition as the Queen of Sheba. Haile Selassie is a defining figure in both Ethiopian and African history. At the League of Nations in 1936, the Emperor condemned the use of chemical weapons by Italy against his people during the Second Italy–Ethiopian War. His internationalist views led to Ethiopia's becoming a charter member of the United Nations, and his political thought and experience in promoting multilateralism and collective security have proved seminal and enduring. His suppression of rebellions among the nobles, as well as what some western critics perceived to be Ethiopia's failure to modernize adequately, earned him criticism among some contemporaries and historians. He has also received criticism from groups such as Human Rights Watch for allegedly ruling in a repressive and undemocratic manner.
Among the Rastafarian movement, whose followers are estimated at between 200,000 and 800,000, Haile Selassie is revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate. Beginning in Jamaica in the 1930s, the Rastafarian movement perceives Haile Selassie as a messianic figure who will lead a future golden age of eternal peace, righteousness, and prosperity. Haile Selassie was an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian throughout his life.
As an incarnation of Jah, Selassie I is both God and king to Rasta's. While Selassie officially died in 1975, many Rasta's do not believe that Jah can die and thus…

The way I see it, religion is a faith and belief. It's hard to define it but I believe humanity is drawn to religion for various reasons. One reason is because we've been educated that way.

Two Point Campus sells over 1 million copies
by nintendojam 0
Developer Two Point Studios and publisher SEGA have announced that their university simulation game, Two Point Campus, has reached 1 million players worldwide across all platforms. Two Point Campus launched on August 9th, 2022, so that's certainly an impressive milestone to achieve in less than a month. It's unknown exactly how many of the copies sold are the Nintendo Switch version, but if history is anything to go by, it's likely a decent chunk.
[SEGA]


Victoria, Seychelles – The Government of Seychelles has received a €1.07 million grant for the development of an Integrated Comprehensive Sanitation Plan for the islands. The 10 year plan will follow an integrated approach, looking at the synergies with related sectors such as waste, energy, water supply and stormwater. It will also promote innovative water re-use technologies. A diagnostic study of the sanitation sector of the Seychelles will be conducted which will include economic, environmental and societal impact assessments. The design of the plan shall include participation of communities and stakeholders to ensure that it is demand driven, sustainable and impactful. The Public Utilities Corporation will be the Implementing Agency.


Pick up any bridal directory, magazine, book or guide, and 90% of the focus seems to be on The Dress. Yes, The Dress with capitals. Understandable really, when you consider why that might be. A significant part of many bridal budgets, the dress is for many brides a pivotal part of the day. Looking your absolute best on the day is important to all brides; those who have been dreaming of the day in an old net curtain since they were 5, and those who come to it later in life. You will want to look beautiful for your partner, and happy, glowing and gorgeous in the photographs which will, after all, be the memories you and your family carry into the future with you.
In times gone by, the dress was not necessarily a specifically new, white gown. Yes, the white symbolises purity, but traditionally, blue was in fact considered a symbol or purity. In bygone years the bride was more likely to get married in her best. Brides were part of an event which matched and joined two families, perhaps businesses too, and as such would often be dressed in their best finery, rich colours and textures, which for practical purposes were unlikely to be white. The sheer volume of fabric used in the traditional dress is another indicator of wealth and status, and while the 'meringue' style voluminous dress has been out of favour in recent decades, the volume heavy, full skirted princess affair is nudging it's way back into bridal fashions.
The 2013 collections are showing some beautiful colours, with a variety of designers opting for soft, glowing pastels. Baby or ice blue, powder pinks, soft oyster and fresh mint green vie with dusky creams. Blushes were still popular, and Designer Vera Wang, beloved of the stars, has showcased a stunning collection of red gowns in bright scarlet, dusky wine and gorgeous crimson for the even braver.
A coloured dress is a real statement, and you do need to be quite a confident bride to carry it off. Ivories and champagnes are warmer than stark whites, and tend to flatter most skin tones. If you want to be bolder but still in keeping with the soft and pretty theme, the spring like pastels are a neat option. Brights like red and purple are more common than they once were, although some brides prefer a lighter dress with hints, trim and detail in a brighter hue.
If you love the idea of a beautiful, bright and unconventional gown but feel you just won't get away with it, you could also have a change after the wedding breakfast, and dance the night away in a 'going away' outfit to ring the changes!


I currently work in the Stevens Group at Imperial College London, working on new innovative materials for biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Currently I work on two main areas: nanoneedles as a cell-material interfacing platform; and organic bioelectronic devices for biosensing.
I make nanoneedles - a bed of tiny nails, each point smaller than a thousandth of the width of a human hair. We use these needles in many applications; we place cells on top of nanoneedles and observe how they behave. Rather than being speared by the needle, cells often contort and move around them in interesting ways. Understanding how they do can teach us more about the mechanisms cells use to control their interaction with the environment around them. We can also coat nanoneedles with different drugs, and use them to nano-inject into cells and tissue more effectively than by normal techniques.
I also work to develop organic bioelectronic devices. Organic bioelectronics uses carbon-based materials that can conduct electricity (for example special kinds of plastics) to build devices that can either directly interact with living things. Unlike silicon-based electronics, where the electrical charge is carried by electrons, organic bioelectronic devices are also sensitive to ions (which are used to transmit electrical signals inside living things). Devices can also be readily modified and manufactured using methods such as inkjet-printing, rather than more complex processing techniques. I'm researching how we can use new organic bioelectronic materials and devices to make better sensors for detecting disease.

The Evolution of the MGB 1962-1980
Design work for the replacement of the MGA started in the late 1950's under the direction of Syd Enever and was completed by early 1961, the car styled by Don Hayter was influenced by EX 181. To be successful the car to be known as the MGB had to succeed in America, a monocoque construction was used and the car was to incorporate some refinements over the MGA such as wind-up windows.
The first production car was completed on the 22nd May 1962 a LHD roadster, chassis number G-HN3 -102 with an his blue RHD car, chassis number G-HN3 -101 being completed a few days later. The car was launched to the British public at the Earls Court motor show in September 1962 and was priced at £690 plus £259 purchase tax.
The first major change came in the 1965/7 period with the introduction of an all syncro gearbox, five bearing crank engine and a Salisbury rear axle, however the most significant change was the addition of a GT to the range. This had been styled at the Abingdon design office but then sent to Pininfarina in Italy who made only detailed changes. The result was a car which at launch was described by Autocar as "perhaps the prettiest Sports Coupe' ever to leave the BMC drawing boards. Another major development to the car during its production life came in 1975 and was brought about by American safety regulations related to impact resistance this was directly responsible for the introduction of rubber bumpers and raising the ride height. Over the coming years American emission rules would also result in an engine which for this market produced significantly less power.
During the life of the MGB only two special editions were produced firstly the jubilee cars produced in 1975 with a build of 750 cars all GT's finished in BRG, then finally MG announced that the last 1000 cars produced before the factory closed in October 1980 would be a "Limited Edition" the final car being a Pewter GT, chassis number G-HD5-523002.
One other special car of note was produced in 1977 when MG celebrated the queens silver jubilee by producing a one off blue and silver GT which was auctioned for charity.
The final chapter of the MGB however was to be written when following the closure of the factory a consortium headed by Aston Martin tried to purchase the MG name and went as far as producing a roadster based on the GT bodyshell (a concept used 12 years later by Rover in the RV8) however financial problems prevented the car going into production.
During the 19 years production of the MGB 512,112 cars were produced a figure greater than the total of all other models of MG produced at Abingdon and which to date is still the largest volume of a single design of sports car produced anywhere in the world. The MGB can rightly claim as MG said in one of it's advertising slogans of the 1970's "THE GREAT BRITISH SPORTS CAR"

Have walked through that display home, loved it.
Few pics of the tiles which should be finished today.
Because I did the brick look in the bathrooms I didn't want the same on the floor so straight was the best choice for me, felt like if both walls & floor were the same it wouldn't create that difference in look, that is also why I went the herringbone layout in the kitchen to give a different look again.
I am really happy with the look of the tiles.
Painting is now in full swing, was on site this afternoon to check out and discuss a few things.
Final fit out is happening next week with a PCI around the 5th March, today was the last day of seeing the house before I get back from work on the 14th March, so should be handed over by then and ready to move in.
Garage door going on this Wednesday and painters will be out of the house on Thursday with electrician on site from Friday.
Couple photos taken from today.
Nearly there, photos taken today.
Thanks for sharing Gareth, looks great. Any major issues along the way that you had trouble with?
Na not real issues, anything that's been picked up has been rectified straight away.
The site super has been fantastic and jumps on everything straight away.
When i get home and set the house up i will do lots of pics, how is your house going? have you started building yet?
Wow amazing photos, looks great!
The progress is so fast, alot has been done in only 4 months.
The final week is here, Monday the garage door was installed and front door stained.
Just need to do the carpet and blinds and then PCI at some stage.
PCI was done on Thursday, just a couple things to fix up but nothing major.
Settlement is next Friday, then will setup and post lots of photos if anyone is still following.
It has been a bit wet this week for them to get the driveway done, thought they might get it done on Monday but Saturday first thing they were on site doing the drive way, just need to finish the crossover on Monday.
They still have a lot of concreting to do out the back which will be done on Monday, i am really happy how the driveway looks.
the driveway does look great. That not normal concrete. what is it do you know?

This is a basic book on the craft of plaster work. Whether you are making a master model to make some form of rubber molds to cast parts, or as a stepping stone book to make you own replacement architectural pieces for your own old house. Or just adornment and small items with additives for the plaster that makes it water and weather proof for garden stuff of mixed media .
Or if you are an aspiring sculptor, as the author is a sculpture from England and the EU.
There are 4 or 5 projects that he takes you through with, a step by step photo layout with any necessary instructions. Most are suitable for tweeny type children with some adult supervision or help as it is plaster. And with kids it can get out of hand in a hurry, even by accident.
Both carry the weatherproofing additives for the plaster along with other stuff you might need. There is a location in London but I no longer have a working addy.

The reason: DPA's latest evaluation by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) published on May 31, 2016 is studded not only with praise for the accomplishments of the Department. It also carries a few brickbats.
The Internal Oversight notes with satisfaction that since the 2006-2008 evaluation, DPA has evolved from a largely desk-based department into a more field-focused operation, reorienting its activities to support field-based conflict prevention and resolution (CPR) work.
CPR work is undertaken mainly through Special Political Missions (SPMs), which have increased in number since 2008, as well as through United Nations Country Teams in non-mission settings.
From Headquarters, DPA supports these various entities through liaison with Member States, other United Nations entities, and others to broadly foster an enabling environment for the field to succeed.
At field level, DPA support ranges from general assistance (for example, policy guidance, administrative assistance) to specialized expertise (such as electoral assistance, mediation), aimed at strengthening the field's capacity to achieve its CPR mandates.
The latest evaluation assessed the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of DPA substantive support to field-based CPR from 2008-2015. It relied on a wide a range of qualitative and quantitative sources to support its analysis.
During the period evaluated, DPA supported almost all of the highest-criticality conflict settings. The establishment of DPA regional offices, along with the deployment of Peace and Development Advisers to non-mission settings, has helped broaden its global reach, according to the OIOS evaluation.
"Beyond the highest-criticality settings, however, the Department's presence is less far-reaching," notes the Internal Oversight. It admits that resource constraints have limited its capacity to meet all needs. But adds that "strategic planning documents do not demonstrate clear, data-driven thinking on how DPA will focus its limited resources on other settings in need".
DPA staff, the field-based entities they support, and OIOS direct observations underline that the Department's shift away from desk-based analysis has left a gap – namely, early-warning analysis that could help DPA better foresee and act on potential threats to peace.
These gaps notwithstanding, adds the Internal Oversight, there is evidence that DPA support has been effective and that it has contributed positively to field success. Staff from entities in numerous field settings point to such examples.
"At the same time, they note areas of lesser effectiveness, namely the Department's inability to address system-wide administrative challenges, coordination and intervention with other actors on behalf of the field, and long-term strategic guidance to the field," says the OIOS Evaluation.
While the DPA's attention to gender and human rights has progressed, "both Headquarters and field leadership remain gender-imbalanced, and neither gender nor human rights is universally a field priority", criticises the Internal Oversight.
At the same time, while DPA has responded to the support needs of a growing number of field operations, its human and financial resources have not kept pace with demand.
"Wider United Nations administrative procedures have also hampered its efficiency. In addition, the Department is weakly positioned to monitor overall mission accountability for results, missions' adherence to United Nations principles, and eventual exit. A lack of attention to harnessing knowledge on performance has further prevented the Department from enhancing accountability – and from learning from its successes and shortcomings," states the Evaluation.
OIOS makes four important recommendations, all of which DPA has accepted. It asks the UN Department of Political Affairs to: institutionalize its role in strengthening field-level accountability, in consultation with the Executive Office of the Secretary-General.
DPA is also asked to fill key analytical gaps, i.e., in overall contextual analysis for early warning and early action, and in evaluation; strengthen Headquarters and field-level planning processes; and undertake measures to adequately resource core functional gaps.
In addition to its more than 250 professional and administrative staff at UN headquarters in New York, DPA draws from the work of political and peace-building missions under its supervision, which employ more than 1,700 national and international staff in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Q: ggplot, count of the number of occurrences of a categorical variable and splitting this count according to a continuous variable I'm trying hard to achieve something with ggplot but I keep failing !...
Here is a data.table
set.seed(12)
data=data.table(categories=c('c','a','b','a','a','c','b','b','a','c','c','b'),hello=runif(12,0,15)
reclassification = c(0,4,7,15)

I'm trying to do the following plot:
y-axis : The 3 categories (a,b,c)
x-axis : A count of the number of times each category is found
colour/shape : The column "hello" reclassified according the vector "reclassification". There should have 3 colours in my example. One for the count of "categories" for 0 < hello < 4, one for 4 < hello < 7, one for 7 < hello < 15
Note: This plot can be made of bars, lines, volumes, several different plots, etc... (I would actually appreciate trying some different solutions)

A: library(data.table)
set.seed(12)

DT <- data.table(categories=c('c','a','b','a','a','c','b','b','a','c','c','b'),hello=runif(12,0,15))
reclassification <- c(0,4,7,15)
DT[,colour:=cut(hello,c(-Inf,reclassification,Inf))]

library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(DT,aes(x=categories,fill=colour)) + geom_bar()
print(p)

A: I think you have some redundant information in this plot, because your x-axis gives the frequency of points in each category, yet you still need to plot all the points in order to display their reclassified values for hello. But then again, I'm not sure I fully understand how you want the colours applied.
You could do something along these lines:
library(data.table)
library(ggplot2)

set.seed(12)
# I've increased the number of categories here to provide a fuller example.
data <- data.table(categories=sample(letters[1:10], 50, replace=T),
                   hello=runif(50, 0, 15))
reclassification = c(0, 4, 7, 15)

p <- ggplot(data,
            aes(table(categories)[match(categories, names(table(categories)))],
                categories,
                col = cut(hello, reclassification)))

p + geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(width = 0.15, height=0.15),
                shape=20, size=4) +
  labs(list(x='Frequency', y='Category', col='Class')) +
  scale_colour_manual(values = c('#404040', '#CA0020', '#2B83BA'))

Today I worked in the preschool nursery for church. The four year old children were all interested in a toy that was stuck deep in the cylinder of a shelf leg. I started to go into teacher mode– "What have you done to solve the problem? Will that work? Why not?" I was mostly trying to engage their minds, because children who are problem solving aren't usually getting into trouble. Then I realized that God had provided a problem that would make a good lesson. Instead of teaching the Bible story, I got my Bible and opened to 1 Peter 5:7– Casting all your care on the Lord, because he cares for you. It was a short lesson. I told the kids that we had a problem. We had all used our minds to solve the problem without success, and now we were going to pray about it.
Getting a toy unstuck is a pretty small thing, but God tells us to cast our cares on him. Why? The size of the problem is irrelevant. He cares for us. Those four year old mischief makers were engaged long enough to practice saying the verse a few times with me, and to pray for help with the toy. After we prayed, I asked them how they thought God would answer our prayer. We talked about "yes, no, wait." We talked about whether God could make the toy fly out by itself. (He can do anything, but probably wouldn't answer that way.) I asked why we prayed about our problem. (Because God cares about us and our problems.) Then I let them go play while my daughter and another helper spent about 15 minutes trying different ways to get the toy out. They got the toy out, we spent a few minutes saying thank you to God, and the class moved on. All afternoon I've been thinking about this class, thankful for a God who cares for young children and their problems. We make jokes about "first world problems" or feel guilty because our problem is nothing compared for other problems people have. The size of the problem is actually irrelevant. Our heavenly father tells us to cast our cares on him, not because it's a worthy problem to bring to him, but because he cares for us. He cares about all our troubles, large or small. I'm thankful for that loving kindness this afternoon.
Enjoyed your post! It's a great reminder that we serve a God who cares!

On April 15th, in response to media reports that Guo Taiming had plans to resign as chairman of the board in the next few months, Foxconn responded to e-company reporters: "This is false news. When Guo Taiming interviewed, he only expressed his hope to retreat to the second line and let young people People are responsible for daily business, and he will focus on the company's strategic decision." On April 15, according to foreign media reports, Guo Taiming said in an event that he plans to resign in the next few months, hoping to enter for younger talents. The promotion of the company paved the way. But he hopes to continue to participate in strategic decisions about the company's business, and his plan will be discussed with the Foxconn board of directors.
On April 15, according to Reuters, Guo Taiming, chairman of the Hon Hai Group (Foxconn Group in China) said in an interview in Taipei on Monday that he plans to resign as chairman in the next few months. There are more upsides for those who have it.
Guo Taiming also said that although he plans to step down as chairman, he hopes to continue to participate in strategic decisions about the company's business. This plan also needs to communicate with the group's board of directors.
An insider also told reporters that if Guo Taiming resigns, there is currently no clear successor inside.
According to the reporter's understanding, the interview scene Guo Taiming's original words are as follows: "The board of directors will draft a new list of directors in May. . . . strengthen the management of the directors, minimize my personal color, exFii, SFARP, we have a Japanese team I have run Sharp well, other new businesses, safe and healthy, not all of them are manufactured, have very strong teams, I invest in the future direction, give me some 45 years of experience to write a little time. This book inherits and supports other enterprises. The future direction of the company will still be guided by me. I will retreat to the second line in daily operation. I think it should be downplaying my personal color. I am 69 years old, 45 years old. The experience can be passed on to them. This is the goal I have set now. Let young people learn early and take over early. I will take my place early and I will be able to make some time to plan for the future of the company."

E-BIKE Verleih ... G2 joyride to "Hahnenklee"
On this popular mountain bike tour the advantages of e-biked come into effect, since you cycle from Goslar up to the district "Hahnenklee", which is about 570 meters above sea level. But even unexperienced cyclists are able to cope with the 686 m in height thanks to electrical support.
Start is at our store in the city center of Goslar. The signposting of the route G2 of the "Volksbank-Arena-Harz" starts at the station. Right after this the first climb up the "Steinberg" is pending. From there you can enjoy the view over Goslar. Besides a little side trip to the "Steinbergturm" or the Meadows near the "Steinberg Alm" restaurant (of course by foot!).
From there, you take a wide forest road running above the "Granetalsperre", until you follow the "Grane" towards its head. After 12 km you reach of the popular vacation spot "Hahnenklee" underneath the "Bocksberg". There you can have something to eat or drink in one of the many cafes and restaurants, visit the nordic stave church, which is a very special sight of the Harz national park.
The tour goes on through the district "Bockswiese" to the forest lake bath "Kuttelbacher Teich", a pretty mountain lake to provide a nice cooling in the hot summer time. Then you cycle back to the "Granetalsperre" through the typical forests of the Harz National Park. Here you come up against the route G1. Along the dam and across the reservoir damn, you get back to Goslar, after cycling about 31 km and 686 meters in height.

Chart of the Day: Carbon Footprint Reduction Chart
By Bill Lindeke on August 3, 2017 in Chart, Environment
In honor of the new Stillwater freeway grand opening, here's a chart for you from some periodical called "Science." It shows the results of a new meta-study of 39 other studies on carbon impacts. Here is the chart:
The key idea here, from the Science blog:
Many commonly promoted options, such as washing clothes in cold water or swapping incandescent bulbs for light-emitting diodes, have only a moderate impact (see chart, below), the team reports today in Environmental Research Letters . But four lifestyle choices had a major impact: Become a vegetarian, forego air travel, ditch your car, and—most significantly—have fewer children.
Choice #2 seems particularly relevant to the streets.mn audience, I should think. What can we do in Minnesota to make it easier for people to ditch their car?

A positive sign from millennials: we're already buying fewer cars and using cars less. From the original article:
"Serious behavioural change is possible; there is evidence that younger generations are willing to depart from current lifestyles in environmentally relevant ways. For instance, the United States has seen as a measurable decrease (Kuhnimhof et al 2013) or at the very least, delay in car usage and ownership for the millennial generation compared to previous generations (Garikapati et al 2016)."
Also noted in the article: more density!!
"Just as cultural norms promote meat consumption, structural choices such as sprawling neighbourhoods can promote individuals' use of high carbon transport (Cervero 2002). Shifts in public policy, such as a carbon tax on food commodities (Springmann et al 2016) or encouraging compact urban growth (Hankey and Marshall 2010), can address these barriers."

This is really interesting. Yes, I've made the choices to live in the suburbs, drive a non-hybrid SUV, use incandescent light bulbs, use a clothes dryer, eat lots of meat. But as I suspected the carbon impact of all that pales compared to people that make the choice to have children.
And notice lighting is at the bottom of the list. Besides being an intrusion by big government into our lives, it's not that effective. About 7% of US electricity is used for residential lighting, some of that is already efficient lighting, and a lack of regulation would not preclude voluntary switching by people wanting energy savings.

Worth mentioning this recent NYT article on air conditioners: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/13/climate/climate-change-make-a-difference-quiz.html?_r=0
A recent podcast episode on the same subject: http://www.wnyc.org/story/climate-change-air-conditioning
Yep, so true. Humans making other humans obviously leads to the biggest increases in consumption & emissions.
It's worth noting, though, that the "moderate impact actions" in this study (upgrade light bulbs, air-dry clothes, etc.) ARE still positive changes, and therefore still worth doing from the perspective of reducing our carbon footprints.

I know you're mostly ax grinding here, but that small change made uniformly across a nation of 300 million isn't insignificant.

To encourage car-free living in the Twin Cities, create a study group composed of transportation specialists and non-drivers or wannabe non-drivers to redesign the bus routes and future train routes from the ground up so that the buses/trains run frequently enough and go to the right destinations and so that bike routes are set up parallel to most arterial streets for an increased sense of bicycle safety.
I spent two years in Corvallis, Oregon, which is so bike friendly that the major apartment buildings have bicycle sheds and there are bicycle stands in front of all the downtown businesses.
Like most communities, Corvallis has a highway commercial strip, but the blocks behind it on either side were designated as bike routes, and the businesses had back doors with bike racks.

I do look askance at the choice to include offspring and to calculate it as they have. It's not considered in a directly annual way, which is, IMO, very disingenuous–it goes out generations to reach those carbon costs. I also have huge issues with the rhetoric of people-as-climate-problems since it is most often used to shame/blame poor POC while absolving white wealthy people who are the actual climate problem. Many of the bigger climate impact choices tend to decrease (I posit) with bigger families, like air travel, meat consumption, buying new, not sharing, not repairing. And conversely, I notice that few people in my networks who fly fly infrequently–flight seems to beget more flight. Showing one transatlantic flight as the indicator for the carbon cost of flight, but the averages of hang-drying clothing? Doesn't make sense to me at all.
I'd rather see population stuff aimed at encouraging people's autonomy around their bodies and providing the kinds of societal support that reduce extraneous reasons for having kids that people otherwise might not want, like social pressures or concerns about aging.
Using a carbon footprint calculator, I'm at 3.6 tons of CO2/year, most of that being heating (also what I don't have actual info for since I don't pay heat, so I used a rough and high estimate). If I had a kid, what are the ACTUAL carbon costs of said human? I think it's possible to calculate it as a percent of my current footprint, with knowledge about how pregnancy/breastfeeding impact caloric needs, along with questions similar to most carbon footprint calculators: buy new for offspring vs used/hand me downs, move vs stay in same size place, etc. Certainly, having a kid would reduce my individual carbon footprint (household size of 2). Viewing the kid as an extension of my carbon footprint would still put me well under the American norm, with mainly food (some of which could be offset with diet shifts) and marginal transportation costs added.
In 2018, I could fly once (1.6 tons) or have one kid (0.3 tons). Let's say I don't fly again (not typical). Let's say the kid eats more than I do pretty quickly. I still have ten years of kid before I hit the cost of the single flight. And the entirety of the single flight's carbon emissions are emitted NOW, when we are in climate crisis and spiralling, versus spread out over ten years. There is NOTHING I can do currently to alleviate the carbon costs of the single transatlantic flight, beyond delaying it. Yes, both have costs, but to chronically underplay the immediate and direct costs of flight is a pervasive problem from a whole sector of environmentalists (coincidentally those who are far more likely to fly frequently than to have large families).
Additionally, their numbers don't take into account delaying childbearing (I assume)–if my theoretical offspring doesn't reproduce until my age, the costs the chart is assuming are further lowered.
I feel like charts like this functionally provide emotional absolution for people without kids or with 1-2 kids to continue their wholesale participation in very carbon intensive choices by make it a "trade." I don't think this is super-conscious (though I hear people talk about it almost as if it is), but the end results seem the same. We're at (beyond) a crisis point. There isn't a safe amount of carbon (methane, nitrous oxide) that we can put into the atmosphere.
Dana DeMaster August 4, 2017 at 1:20 pm #
The offspring stuff also appears to assume that our offspring will be making relatively constant average wealthy nation greenhouse gasses even 20, 50, 100 years from now. But we don't have that long (and luckily, we're capable of rapid behavioral shifts–hello smartphones!). The chart looks at consequences decades out–though only for offspring, not the costs/benefits of delaying any immediate carbon production in order to buy us even a millisecond more time to push for our species' survival. And it presumes (I'm guessing) a relatively constant average wealthy carbon footprint. But we know that's not actually feasible–our current rate of carbon emissions is not going to happen, because either we collectively shift to much lower carbon outputs, or we have societal collapse that does it for us. I'd say it'd more accurate to use assumptions that presuppose a decreasing carbon footprint, whether a linear decline or with specific triggers (rapidity of shifts we need in the next few years, or certain point for assuming that all electricity is renewables, or that meat consumption is decreasing with greenhouse gas pricing, or ???) or even just going back in time (I don't think I've seen any work predicting future carbon footprints).
Additionally, making a child a fixed carbon cost is really misleading, particularly when flying IS a fixed carbon cost. I care about my carbon footprint, but there's almost nothing I can do (besides reducing transfers and flying coach) to make my flight less impactful than anyone else on the plane, even if their everyday choices make their carbon footprint ten times higher than mine otherwise. In contrast, child-rearing in particular has a lot more room for mitigation efforts.
Flight has little/nothing on the horizon for meaningfully decreasing its carbon costs, either in terms of carbon-mitigating/reducing technologies OR regulation (even under the Paris agreements, international flights are totally unregulated, though they're increasing dangerously). While flight as a carbon producer is largely unregulated, changes to flight are heavily regulated (NTSB is incredibly amazing at what it does for the safety of flights, but shitty for GHG emissions). It's a known, fixed, immediate cost with serious constraints to rapid progress being directly implicitly compared to unknown, malleable, amortized costs that lend themselves to rapid progress (see: spread of behavioral changes).
Our lifestyles are shifting much more rapidly than flight is adapting or can improve. Some of the waste and carbon/methane/nitrous oxide sources are still increasing (like flight), but bike lanes and road diets and more walkable developments are happening around the country, renewables are increasing, there are very real movements around repairing items, reducing food waste, increasing recycling, banning plastic bags, etc.
Putting offspring on that chart like that not only is specious, it serves as a dangerously high anchor visually. And by showing children as as fixed a cost as flight, it essentially glosses over/undermines two important considerations (IMO) in the whole making-new-humans thing, specifically:
A) What are the ethical implications of having children during climate chaos? What are the moral responsibilities implicit in the choice to have children as our ecosystems collapse? How do parents live out these responsibilities to their offspring?
B) For those that have children (because people will, and that doesn't make them bad people), what are the ways that they can do so with the most minimal impact? What are the different choices and how do they potentially compare?
I have almost exclusively heard the "OMG children are bad!" thing slung at people to blame and shame them while the slingers fly and drive and live in single family homes and eat meat and buy new couches shipped across oceans (also unregulated industry). The hypocrisy of it, combined with the race/class implications, set my teeth on edge. For me, I cannot hear calls to "stop having children" without hearing the "don't have kids you can't afford" racist trope that is pervasive in the U.S.
The way it's written is per-child, with an implication that fewer children is linearly a lower carbon cost. Without nuance (and I have not seen nuance from those producing these charts and marketing pieces), there is a very direct implication that a person who has 1 kid and flies a lot is less of a climate burden than someone with 2-3 kids. Perhaps that's not how it's being intended. But the U.S. at least has a long history of judging (poor) people's family size and in my experience, this kind of chart taps into that. It definitely gets into dog-whistle category for me, at the expense of the gravity of the rest of what it illustrates.
Monte Castleman August 6, 2017 at 1:50 pm #
You might "mitigate" carbon produced by your kid in the short term, but there's no guarantee that your kids will follow the same lifestyle. After all, my family grew up driving gas sipping cars, one of which didn't even have air conditioning, never took airline flights, kept the thermostat at 58 degrees in the winter, would air dry clothes. Once an airline flight is done it's done but the actions of any kids you choose to have will emit carbon for generations. Maybe they decide to fly multiple times a year, but even if they take the bus and eat veggies they'll have houses or apartments to heat; gas heat for houses isn't probably going anywhere for many decades due to how expensive electricity is.
Point taken though that the chart is a mess comparing all sorts of costs over different timeframes. different fixed and variable and maybe for example a lifetime of the average air travel should be included rather than one fixed flight or using a clothes dryer for life rather than for a year. But I'm sure under and reasonable standard having a kid will still have a lot more impact than shipping a couch or eating bacon.

Q: How to create an excel file and deliver to the screen using C# in a MVC project? Please send code samples if you can, Thanks!

A: The Excel 2007 format can be created without Excel, as it's just a zip file containing XML files, I've generated Word 2007 docs before on the fly and served them from a web page without Word installed.
There's an article here on CodeProject

A: I think you need to 3d-party form control.
I found next topics about this issue:

*

*Is there a control which emulates Excel functionality but is not Excel?

*ASP.Net web server control that generates HTML and Excel
and much more with tags excel, control, asp.net, etc
I think the best implementation would be non-free Google: excel+reports+asp.net has a number of solutions

A: If you're not militant about it being "an excel file" and actually mean "A file with some data I have, loaded with excel", then all you have to do is create a .csv and open it programatically with excel.  It'll look the same as a 'real' excel file, mostly-kinda.

A: take a look at this: http://code.google.com/p/excel-generator/
Hope it helps!

Michael Smith, Jemele Hill to take over ESPN's 6 P.M. 'SportsCenter' as co-hosts
Michael Smith and Jemele Hill continue to extend their brands.
Michael Smith and Jemele Hill are moving on up!
The two, who have co-hosted "His & Hers" on ESPN2 since June of 2013 are now moving to ESPN's 6 p.m. "SportsCenter" on February 6, 2017, the day after the Super Bowl. Both have signed new multi-year contracts.

Univision's Fusion promotes Dodai Stewart to editor-in-chief of digital and TV news operation
October 10, 2016 by Barry Cooper
Dodai Stewart moves into a key role with Univision.
Dodai Stewart, who has written for Entertainment Weekly, Modern Bride, Glamour, New York Magazine and the New York Times, is now editor-in-chief at youth-targeted Fusion, for both the digital and TV news divisions.
Formerly deputy editor at Jezebel.com, she has been with Fusion since 2014, first as director of culture coverage, and most recently as executive editor.
Fusion president and chief content officer Daniel Eilemberg announced in a statement that Stewart will help integrate the former Gawker Media sites, which Univision purchased in a bankruptcy auction for $135 million. The promotion makes Stewart one of the most influential women in digital media. She will have management responsibility for employees in New York and Miami.
"As our Executive Editor, Dodai has been central to defining our editorial mission, and the driving force of our voice across units and verticals," Eilemberg wrote in a memo to staffers. "She comes to the role with a wealth of knowledge and understanding about Fusion, our staff and mission, as well as deeper relations with our cousins at the Gizmodo Media Group."
The Gawker sites Stewart will manage have a robust digital audience with more than 50 million unique visitors a month according to comScore. That reach, along with management of employees in New York and Miami makes Stewart one of the most influential women in digital media.
Univision has been making moves. Last month, it announced former News Corp. executive Raju Narisetti as CEO of the newly named Gizmodo Media Group, encompassing brands it acquired from Gawker Media.

Comedy Central takes down 'The O'Reilly Factor's' racist Chinatown segment in the best way possible
October 9, 2016 by Staff Reports
It's not surprising that Fox News is tone deaf when it comes to covering race in America. It's even less surprising that Bill O'Reilly hasn't a clue about covering communities and people who don't look like him. So when O'Reilly's Fox News show attempts to cover race and ethnicity in America – in a humorous way no less — nobody is surprised when they royally screw it up.
In trying to report on what people of Chinese descent think about the election, O'Reilly's Jesse Watters messed up so badly that the Asian American Journalists Association came out to condemn the segment. But nobody did a better job at taking down Fox News' discriminatory report than Comedy Central's Ronny Chieng of The Daily Show.
