Toronto Looks Into Cost of Disability Accommodation
October 2, 2019 Greg Thomson
City has avoided hiring people with restrictions because of budget constraints, analyst said Laurie Monsebraaten
The Toronto Star Oct. 1, 2019
Louis Manno worked in the city's old "Access Toronto" call centre for a dozen years until the current 311 information service was introduced in 2009 and forced him into early retirement.
Manno is blind, and the 311 technology was not compatible with his computer screen reader, which transcribed web pages into braille or speech so he could respond to callers' queries.
"City staff knew I needed this technology to continue working there and they said they were building a new system from the ground-up to accommodate me," Manno said in an interview.
"But at the end of the day, it didn't work."
To his knowledge, he is the last blind person to work for the service. The city refused to say if 311 currently employs any blind staff "due to privacy" concerns.
Manno isn't sure what happened, but now 65 and "happily retired," he wonders if money might have been a factor.
A motion before Toronto council this week from the city's accessibility advisory committee is aimed at addressing the cost of accommodating current and future employees with disabilities.
If approved, the city's chief financial officer and treasurer will report back to council as part of the 2020 budget process on the feasibility of exempting all operating and capital costs related to accommodating employees with disabilities from any proposed fiscal belt-tightening.
Council is also being asked to direct staff to look into creating a central fund for all accessibility-related accommodations and initiatives so that individual city departments aren't forced to absorb the costs themselves.
City council turned down a similar request in 2017, a decision advisory committee members say breached Ontario's Human Rights Code and needs to be corrected.
According to the code, "the costs of accommodation must be distributed as widely as possible within the organization so that no single department, employee, customer or subsidiary is burdened with the expense."
If each department had to cover the cost of maternity benefits, none would ever hire a woman of child-bearing age, said Zeljko Razumic, a design technologist with the city who is deaf.
"People would be up in arms, as it would create a cost bias against hiring women," he wrote in an email to the advisory committee last spring.
In April 2018, Razumic launched an Ontario Human Rights case against the city for installing a new phone system in 2012 without ensuring it was equipped to allow people with a hearing or speech disability to use text with the assistance of a relay operator.
It took three years – and much pushing by Razumic and allies at city hall – before a text/relay service was installed.
Razumic, whose human rights complaint claims the city did no outreach to other deaf staff to inform them of the service, says the experience left him feeling "isolated, excluded, emotionally hurt and not appreciated."
The case was settled in March through mediation.
Huy Luong, a senior technology analyst with the city's information and technology division, said he is often asked to provide technical support to staff with disabilities and has seen first-hand the financial crunch.
"Due to budget constraints, many city businesses often take shortcuts and cut corners. Business tools are acquired or developed without accessibility in mind. Since these tools tend to be in use for quite some time, a city business with inaccessible tools will – and do – avoid hiring persons with disabilities," he said.
"As the City of Toronto is the largest municipality in Canada, they could set a precedent for others to follow," he said.
Former advisory committee member Monica Winkler, an information technology administrator for the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work, got the ball rolling when she introduced the original motion that was defeated at city council in 2017.
"I'm really glad it's going forward again. Maybe this time it will actually pass," she said.
Winkler said the committee heard from people who had applied for jobs and felt they weren't successful because of their disability.
"We also heard from staff (that) people with disabilities had trouble getting accommodation because there wasn't enough money in the budget of their department," she said.
"Other corporations and other places handle accommodations from a pool of funds," Winkler said. "That way, no one department is trapped and unable to hire or accommodate somebody."
Ultimately, a centralized fund might even save the city money through bulk purchases of accessible technology, she added.
"It would also raise the profile of workplace accommodations and make them more widely accepted," she added.
"It was a long fight to get curb cuts in sidewalks installed for people with wheelchairs," she noted. "But if you talk to a mother with a carriage or a senior with a shopping cart, they help everyone."
Jason Mitschele, a federal Crown prosecutor and advisory committee member who is blind, reintroduced the motion in July.
"It seems common sense to me that there should be a special fund for accommodating people," he said.
Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, chair of the 12-member advisory committee, said she became aware of the issue from city staff who raised it several years ago.
"City divisions have to draw from their own budgets when they are making accommodations for staff. And so it discourages divisions from hiring people with disabilities because it reduces the budget they get to spend on other things," she said.
"So there is built-in discrimination," she said. "To me, it is an issue of equity."
Ironically, there is a global accessibility budget for city councillors who have used it for sign language interpretation or personal support workers at public meetings and other events, she noted. "It's always under-drawn," she added.
Wong-Tam said she was disappointed the motion failed in 2017, but is working to "make councillors more aware of the issue" this time.
Councillor Gary Crawford, city budget chief and among those who defeated the motion two years ago, said he is reconsidering his earlier vote.
"We just have to make sure it goes through the proper budget process," he said last week after the city's executive committee backed the motion. "I am supportive."

REVIEW: Susie Steiner's PERSONS UNKNOWN (Manon Bradshaw #2)
After a run of great books, Matthews's Gentleman Jim, Griffiths's Stone Circle, Bliss's Redemption, I could not settle for less, so I grabbed Susie Steiner's Persons Unknown from the night-stand. If it could be half as good as Missing, Presumed, I was in for another winner. It was and wasn't. I still gave up sleep and human companionship to read non-stop, resisting the pull of obligation and meals. I still loved the characters, though Manon grated in this one, but Davy was as lovable as ever. I still loved how Steiner made her "coppers" pursue justice and even occasionally mercy and manage to have messy, at times pathetic, personal lives. (By the end, Davy's speed-dating!) But the crime and Manon's place in it were wrenchingly difficult to read about; Manon was difficult to read, weepy, hugely pregnant, cumbersome emotionally and physically.
Now to the blurb-summary to get the procedural details (my reviewer's Achilles' heel, I am rubbish at keeping track and am the reader ever-duped by red herrings):
As dusk falls, a young man staggers through a park, far from home, bleeding from a stab wound. He dies where he falls, cradled by a stranger, a woman's name on his lips in his last seconds of life.
DI Manon Bradshaw can't help taking an interest — these days, she handles only cold cases, but the man died just yards from the police station where she works.
She's horrified to discover that both victim and prime suspect are more closely linked to her than she could have imagined. And as the Cambridgeshire police force closes ranks against her, she is forced to contemplate the unthinkable: How well does she know her loved ones, and are they capable of murder?
As it turns out, the "young man" staggering to his death is Manon's two-year-old nephew's father, her sister's, Ellie's, ex. The accused is Manon's adopted 12-year-old son, Fly. The wheels within wheels of this case are sordid: involving organized crime, financial corruption, and sexual exploitation. At the heart of it, however, are immoral people and moral people, corrupt and virtuous, heinous and honest, victims and vile perpetrators, the vulnerable and powerful and privileged. The resolution frees the innocent, but it doesn't punish the guilty. Nothing is neatly resolved, but at least our heroine's life arrives at a compromised dare-I-say-it HEA.
When the novel opens, Manon's life has changed completely since we were last with her in Missing, Presumed, which was more of a conventional procedural, not as close to home, not as emotionally messy. Oh, Manon was still a mess in her personal life, but her professionalism and pursuit of truth and justice, spot-on, and most importantly, she's part of a team, working in tandem or opposition, in agreement or conflict, but still part of a team. In Persons Unknown, that team we met and loved are still at work. But everyone is going in different directions and the investigation takes place disparately.
I like a loner-heroine, a detective, amateur, or otherwise, solving a case. I cut my teeth on Kinsey Millhone and I like my crime fiction heroines feminist and super-human in intelligence and physical adroitness. Manon is neither; in this novel, she has even conceded her career for motherhood: "Manon is in hot pursuit of work-life balance: desk job, regular hours, house full of children." "Not that there's anything wrong with that;" nor is it valid to criticize Steiner for writing the heroine she wanted to write. What it comes down to is I didn't enjoy Manon-mother as much as I enjoyed Manon-loner, and not because Manon adopted a 12-year-old boy (I loved that bit in the previous book and it's still the best part of this one) … because Manon spends most of the novel voluminously pregnant and out of her police position, delegated to a self-imposed desk job. With Fly as the accused, her investigating chops come back into play and that's when I began to enjoy the narrative. The parturition details I could have done without and there are so so many.
Steiner is such a fine writer that, at times, I had to stop to reread a passage, savor and think about it. Like this one that sums up the nature of police work:
Investigations, Davy realises as he looks at his checklist without knowing quite where to begin, run on the energy of time, run against it sometimes if a living person's in danger — a kidnap, say, or a kiddie lost. Other time's it's justice that runs against the clock. Given time, your perp can get rid of the weapon, wipe down his prints, cook up an alibi or hot-foot it to somewhere sunny. The Costa Brave is bristling with British timeshare criminals. Time blunts all.
A meditation on the investigator's inability to see but through a glass darkly, is it anything more than equally true of any attempt to reach the heart of the matter? It was passages like these that gave me pause.
Steiner can also be darkly funny. I loved this particular exchange between Manon and sister Ellie, as Ellie regales her with stories from her dead ex, Jon Ross:
'He told me some insane stories about the City. Champagne, hotels, piles of drugs, piles of girls. He told me about one party they had where they hired a whole floor of a London hotel and it ended up being a sea of naked bodies.'
'Don't get much of that in the police,' says Manon. 'Not on cold cases, certainly.'
'No, there's not much of it in nursing either. I mean there's bodies, and they're often naked, but not in a good way.'
'In general,' Manon says, 'if you're after the orgiastic experience, public sector isn't really the way to go.'
References of sheer genius: my favourite being Manon contemplating a pass at her son's defence lawyer: "What would she think of herself, what would the world think, if she were to hurl her haggard self at Mark Talbot, lay her Francis Bacon body at his feet?" As a Bacon fan and someone who's watched copious documentaries about Bacon's devolution to debauched rotundity on sticks-legs, I guffawed late into the night, reading way past my bedtime. Later, when Mark and Manon are post-coital: "He is reading Knausgaard, he says. 'That's a bad sign,' she says." At this moment, Manon, c'est moi.
In the end, while some of the mystery puzzle-pieces found their neat places and our Manon has an HEA, Steiner leaves us with a wickedly subtle but very definite cliff-hanger of "persons unknown" … I'm looking forward to book 3. Steiner's Persons Unknown is published by Harper Perennial. I suggest you read them both.

I have Missing Presumed but have not read it yet
It's really good and better to start with it, then jump ahead to Persons Unknown. You'll appreciate Persons Unknown more this way, b/c it's not an easy book.

Hyderabad, Jan 17 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh is in the grip of the most severe cold wave in its recorded history which during the last two days has claimed 15 lives.
Five people died in Karimnagar district, and four each in Visakhapatnam and Guntur districts. The districts of Nalgonda and Warangal accounted for a death each.
According to locals, elderly people and beggars became victims of the severe cold wave.
The temperature in most of the 23 districts in the state is three to nine degrees below normal, the weather officials said. At least 13 districts are reeling under severe cold as the mercury fell to below 10 degrees Celsius.
The intensity of the cold has surprised all. The southern state, known for its tropical weather, never heard of deaths due to cold wave.
The night temperature at Lambasinghi, a tribal hamlet in Visakhapatnam district, fell below zero degree Celsius Monday but the India Meteorological Department (IMD) did not confirm this as it has no recording station there.
Some forest habitations in the district have virtually turned into Kashmir.
The mercury in Chintapalli tribal belt of Visakhapatnam is hovering between one and 1.5 degree Celsius for the last four days.
People in Adilabad district of Telangana shivered as the night temperature fell to below five degrees. The district bordering Maharashtra recorded a temperature of 4.2 degrees, the lowest in over 100 years.
The coastal district of Srikakulam recorded nine degrees, the lowest in decades. The coastal city of Visakhapatnam also registered 11.2 degrees, the lowest in 50 years.
Hyderabad has also been recording temperatures between 10 and 11 degrees for the last couple of days.
According to the Visakhapatnam Cyclone Warning Centre, upper air circulation over Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and cold winds blowing from the Himalayas have brought down the temperature drastically.
The met office has forecast that the cold wave would continue till Thursday morning and the mercury may start returning to normal from Wednesday.


The Philippines is a tropical island paradise, and nothing says "tropical island paradise" quite like a bevy of bikini-clad beauties. Naturally, any fine Filipinas hoping to represent their country at the Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International beauty pageants should look good in bikinis.
Once again, it's time to choose some of the finest Filipinas in the land to represent their country and their people at the Miss Universe, Miss International, and Miss World beauty pageants. The twenty-four candidates competing at the Binibining Pilipinas 2010 pageant represent the sheer diversity of Filipina beauty.

We had a little friendly game of Tiny Towns this evening.
A little friendly game which turned into two little friendly games, then three, then four.
It turns out when it comes to positioning small wooden buildings on a grid and realising that you've dropped a massive clanger with the positioning of one of them which will have wide-reaching ramifications for how the rest of the game plays out we are very evenly matched.
Our first game was a draw. Our second, Carole won. Our third, I won. Our fourth… Carole won, obviously. Because of course she did. Even in my birthday week she can't let me win anything.
And because I absolutely cocked up with the positioning of something because I focused on something else and then didn't leave enough room to keep on putting down buildings. It's one of those games, like Patchwork, where your empty spaces are penalties in the end game scoring. Unlike Patchwork, though, I can get positive scores, and unless there's a power we haven't yet discovered, it's impossible to fill all 16 of your squares with buildings so you're always going to have spaces but sometimes you can really screw yourself over – and that's before your opponent calls out a resource you don't need – and leave huge gaping holes where buildings should be.
And we play Tiny Towns on a very strict no backsies rule. Very strict. Once it's down, it's down. No backsies. No sweet-talking the other player into letting you Mulligan. It's done. You've committed. You've put your Tavern two spaces from the end of the board when it should be three spaces so you could build another one, but instead you have to build a millstone and create a lot of single-spaced misery…
… for example.
Purely hypothetically of course.
That's not what happened in our last game. I definitely didn't end up with six empty spaces instead of the two my plan should have left me with, leaving me a tavern down and bereft of enough points to maybe snatch victory.
It's just a scenario I dreamt up in my head writing this.
Damn you, Tiny Towns.

With main gun bore size among the Allies reportedly increasing to 13.5" and 14", the decision was made (before finding out the British had adopted the 15" for the Queen Elizabeth-class super-dreadnoughts) to adopt a 380mm (15") gun on the next class of battleships. Taking the general plan and all-centerline gun layout of the K�nig-class, the Bayern-class was approved for construction in 1913. Mounting eight of the new 380m guns in four turrets, all on the centerline in superimposed dual mounts, with two slim funnels and tall masts, they were beautifully balanced ships with great maneuverability.
Bayern was still undergoing trials when the Battle of Jutland occurred in May-June, 1916, but she was available for the next major event, Operation Albion. There she struck a mine that flooded the forward beam torpedo room and withdrew to a local port, where she was given a poorly contructed cofferdam that failed during her transit back to Germany. Based on inaccurate evaluations of the damage briefed to the Kaiser, he made the decision to have the forward beam torpedo tubes removed from both vessels.
Baden was designated the Fleet Flagship in March, 1917, and orginally was not among those ships scheduled to be interned at Scapa Flow. Unfortunately the Allies thought the battlecruiser Mackensen had been completed, and once they found she hadn't, Baden was substituted and arrived at Scapa Flow December 14, 1918. Both ships were scuttled on June 21, 1919, but while Bayern turned-turtle and sank, the British were able to tow Baden to shore where she settled in shallow water. Raised a month later, she was used for various armor experiments and eventually sunk by gunfire in 1921.
The last two ships, W�rttemberg and Sachsen, were to be slightly larger and faster versions, but they were never completed and their incomplete hulls scrapped in the early 1920's.
NOTE: Even though they both had twin 15" turrets, three propeller shafts and twin rudders, the Bayern design did not serve as the prototype for the World War II DKM Bismarck-class.

If the agent can perform sorting of interfaces according to the values of dot1dTpPortInFrames, as defined in [RFC1493], then the 'dot1dTpPortInFrames' bit will be set. If the agent can perform sorting of interfaces according to the values of dot1dTpPortOutFrames, as defined in [RFC1493], then the 'dot1dTpPortOutFrames' bit will be set. If the agent can perform sorting of interfaces according to the values of dot1dTpPortInDiscards, as defined in [RFC1493], then the 'dot1dTpPortInDiscards' bit will be set.
A table of control records for reports on the top `N' interfaces for the value or rate of a selected object. The number of entries depends on the configuration of the agent. The maximum number of entries is implementation dependent.
A set of parameters that control the creation of a report of the top N ports according to several metrics.
An index that uniquely identifies an entry in the interfaceTopNControl table. Each such entry defines one top N report prepared for a probe.
The particular variable to be sampled. Values between 0 and 22, point to MIB objects defined in IF-MIB [RFC2863]. Values between 23 and 37, point to MIB objects defined in EtherLike-MIB [RFC2665]. Values between 38 and 55, point to MIB objects defined in TOKENRING-MIB [RFC1748]. Values between 56 and 72, point to MIB objects defined in RMON-MIB [RFC2819]. Values between 73 and 75, point to MIB objects defined in BRIDGE-MIB [RFC1493]. Because SNMP access control is articulated entirely in terms of the contents of MIB views, no access control mechanism exists that can restrict the value of this object to identify only those objects that exist in a particular MIB view. Because there is thus no acceptable means of restricting the read access that could be obtained through the TopN mechanism, the probe must only grant write access to this object in those views that have read access to all objects on the probe. During a set operation, if the supplied variable name is not available in the selected MIB view, or does not conform the other conditions mentioned above, a badValue error must be returned. This object may not be modified if the associated interfaceTopNControlStatus object is equal to active(1).
The method of sampling the selected variable for storage in the interfaceTopNTable. If the value of this object is absoluteValue(1), the value of the selected variable will be copied directly into the topNValue. If the value of this object is deltaValue(2), the value of the selected variable at the last sample will be subtracted from the current value, and the difference will be stored in topNValue. If the value of this object is bandwidthPercentage(3), the agent records the total number of octets sent over an interval divided by the total number of octets that represent '100% bandwidth' for that interface. This ratio is multiplied by 1000 to retain a 3 digit integer (0..1000) in units of 'tenth of one percent'. This type of computation is accurate for the octet counters. The usage of this option with respect to packets or error counters is not recommended. This object may not be modified if the associated interfaceTopNControlStatus object is equal to active(1).
This object indicates whether normalization is required in the computation of the selected value. If the value of this object is 'true', the value of the selected variable will be multiplied by a factor equal to the interfaceTopNNormalizationFactor divided by the value of effective speed of the interface If the value of this object is 'false', the value of the selected variable will be taken 'as is' in the TopN computation. If the value of the object interfaceTopNSampleType is bandwidthPercentage(3), the object interfaceTopNNormalizationReq cannot take the value 'true'. The value of this object MUST be false if the effective speed of the interface sub-layer as determined from ifSpeed is zero. This conforms to the ifSpeed definition in [RFC2863]for a sub-layer that has no concept of bandwidth. This object may not be modified if the associated interfaceTopNControlStatus object is equal to active(1).
The value used for normalization if interfaceTopNNormalizationReq has the value 'true'. Example: The following set of values is applied to a device with multiple Ethernet interfaces running at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps. interfaceTopNObjectVariable = 'ifInOctets' interfaceTopNObjectSampleType = 'deltaValue' interfaceTopNNormalizationReq = 'true' interfaceTopNNormalizationFactor = 1000000000 Applying this set of values will result in the sampled delta values to be multiplied by 100 for the 10 Mbps interfaces, and by 10 for the 100 Mbps interfaces, while the sample values for the 1 Gbps interface are left unchanged. The effective speed of the interface is taken from the value of ifSpeed for each interface, if ifSpeed is less than 4,294,967,295, or from ifHighSpeed multiplied by 1,000,000 otherwise. At row creation the agent SHOULD set the value of this object to the effective speed of the interface.
The number of seconds left in the report currently being collected. When this object is modified by the management station, a new collection is started, possibly aborting a currently running report. The new value is used as the requested duration of this report, which is loaded into the associated interfaceTopNDuration object. When this object is set to a non-zero value, any associated interfaceTopNEntries shall be made inaccessible by the agent. While the value of this object is non-zero, it decrements by one per second until it reaches zero. During this time, all associated interfaceTopNEntries shall remain inaccessible. At the time that this object decrements to zero, the report is made accessible in the interfaceTopNTable. Thus, the interfaceTopN table needs to be created only at the end of the collection interval. If the value of this object is set to zero while the associated report is running, the running report is aborted and no associated interfaceTopNEntries are created.
The number of seconds that this report has collected during the last sampling interval, or if this report is currently being collected, the number of seconds that this report is being collected during this sampling interval. When the associated interfaceTopNTimeRemaining object is set, this object shall be set by the agent to the same value and shall not be modified until the next time the interfaceTopNTimeRemaining is set. This value shall be zero if no reports have been requested for this interfaceTopNControlEntry.
The maximum number of interfaces requested for the Top N Table. When this object is created or modified, the agent should set interfaceTopNGrantedSize as close to this object as is possible for the particular implementation and available resources.
The maximum number of interfaces in the top N table. When the associated interfaceTopNRequestedSize object is created or modified, the agent should set this object as closely to the requested value as is possible for the particular implementation and available resources. The agent must not lower this value except as a result of a set to the associated interfaceTopNRequestedSize object.
The value of sysUpTime when this top N report was last started. In other words, this is the time that the associated interfaceTopNTimeRemaining object was modified to start the requested report. If the report has not yet been started, the value of this object is zero.
The entity that configured this entry and is using the resources assigned to it.
The value of sysUpTime when this top N report was last completed. If no report was yet completed, the value of this object is zero.
The status of this row. If the value of this object is not equal to active(1), all associated entries in the interfaceTopNTable shall be deleted by the agent.
A table of reports for the top `N' ports based on setting of associated control table entries. The maximum number of entries depends on the number of entries in table interfaceTopNControlTable and the value of object interfaceTopNGrantedSize for each entry. For each entry in the interfaceTopNControlTable, interfaces with the highest value of interfaceTopNValue shall be placed in this table in decreasing order of that rate until there is no more room or until there are no more ports.
A set of statistics for an interface that is part of a top N report.
An index that uniquely identifies an entry in the interfaceTopN table among those in the same report. This index is between 1 and N, where N is the number of entries in this report. Increasing values of interfaceTopNIndex shall be assigned to entries with decreasing values of interfaceTopNValue or interfaceTopNValue64, whichever applies, until index N is assigned to the entry with the lowest value of interfaceTopNValue / interfaceTopNValue64 or there are no more interfaceTopNEntries. No ports are included in a report where their value of interfaceTopNValue would be zero.
This object identifies the index corresponding to the dataSource for this entry. For sorted values of variables belonging to the IF-MIB, EtherLike-MIB or TOKENRING-MIB, this value equals the ifIndex of the interface. For sorted values of variables belonging to the RMON-MIB, this value equals the interface corresponding to the data source, pointed to by the value of etherStatsDataSource. For sorted values of variables belonging to the BRIDGE-MIB, this value equals the interface corresponding to the bridge port, pointed to by the value of dot1dBasePortIfIndex.
The value at the end of the sampling interval, or the amount of change in the selected variable during this sampling interval for the identified interface. The selected variable is that interfaces's instance of the object selected by interfaceTopNObjectVariable. This value may be normalized if interfaceTopNNormalization required equals 'true'. This value of this object will be computed for all cases when interfaceTopNObjectVariable points to a 32-bit counter or Gauge or when interfaceTopNObjectSampleType equals bandwidthPercentage(3), and will be zero for all other cases.
The value at the end of the sampling interval, or the amount of change in the selected variable during this sampling interval for the identified interface. The selected variable is that interfaces's instance of the object selected by interfaceTopNObjectVariable. This value may be normalized if interfaceTopNNormalization required equals 'true'. This value of this object will be computed for all cases when interfaceTopNObjectVariable points to a 64-bit counter, and will be zero for all other cases.
Describes the requirements for conformance to the InterfaceTopN MIB.
A collection of objects providing interfaceTopN data for a multiple interfaces device.

People Are Freaking Out Over Netflix's New Thriller Secret Obsession
Alex Lombardi/Netflix
Brenda Song, you're in danger!
By Abby Gardner
Among the many great shows and movies that Netflix has released this summer, Secret Obsession might be the wildest ride.
The movie, which takes a page out of the Lifetime and You playbooks, tells the story of Jennifer (Brenda Song), who wakes up in the hospital after an attack and doesn't remember who she's married to. Luckily (lol!) her "husband," Russell (Mike Vogel), is there to nurse her back to health in their mansion in the middle of freaking nowhere. But we soon learn that Russell is a totally nefarious stalker type who has murdered Jennifer's loved ones and is basically holding her captive.
She eventually figures out what is going on, as does a police detective played by former 24 president and current Allstate spokesman Dennis Haysbert, and things get even more tense, violent, and dramatic.
People on social media had a lot to say as they discovered the drama over the weekend. They also had some questions. "Just watched #SecretObsession and all I can think of is, why TF he thought he can mess with Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior, and get away with it?" one user wrote, referencing Song's 2006 Disney movie. "Bitch brought down Yan-Lo, an ancient evil spirit; ain't no basic white guy with photoshop skills gunna do a damn thing to her."
Another thought the trailer gave away too much, writing, "#SecretObsession would have been so much better had the trailer not TOLD THE WHOLE STORY. Like I would have bought it all and been so surprised at the end but 🙄"
Law & Order SVU Has Lied to Us All Again, and Twitter Has Had Enough
And seriously, that is a lot of eggs.
Flaws, plot holes, and a detective's missing daughter who gets brought up once and then never again notwithstanding, we hope Secret Obsession is a sign that Netflix is going all in on the soapy psychodramas in much the same way it did rom-coms last year. The limit does not exist for how many of these movies we can (and will) watch.

We should be alarmed by the state of obesity in America and demand a comprehensive, full-throated, urgent response to this national crisis.
Nowhere in the article says that Americans are consuming more calories. There are two suspects never discussed. The first is the palatability of processed food that causes the hedonic reward system to override the enegy-balance system in the brain. The second is increased inflammation that disrupts signaling in energy balance system from hormonal signals coming from the blood and the gut. Until you even begin to discuss such other suspects, the obesity crisis and the its fellow epidemic of diabetes will continue to increase.


Income tax cuts are coming, according to the Government's 2018 budget.
From July next year, people earning between $87,000 and $90,000 will move back into the lower tax bracket and pay 32.5 per cent instead of 37 per cent in tax.
The plan still needs the support of the Senate before it comes into law.

Segons la mitologia grega, Ilos (en grec antic Ἶλος), era fill de Tros i de la nimfa Cal·lírroe, i va ser el fundador de la ciutat d'Ilion (Troia) a la regió de Troade, que portava el nom del seu pare, Tros. Era germà d'Assàrac, Cleòpatra i Ganimedes.

Es va casar amb Eurídice, que Apol·lodor considera filla d'Adrast, o amb Leucipa, segons les versions. Va tenir un fill, Laomedont, que al seu torn va tenir cinc fills, entre els quals hi ha Podarces, anomenat Príam, i tres filles, una de les quals va ser Hesíone. Ilos, a més de Laomedont, va tenir una filla, Temiste, que es va casar amb Capis de Dardània, i que va ser l'àvia d'Eneas. Aquest Ilos és l'avantpassat comú de la branca de Príam i la d'Eneas, als quals va pertànyer successivament el reialme de Troia. Ilos també va tenir una altra filla, Teleclea, que es casà amb Cisseu rei de Tràcia.

Ilos va fundar la ciutat de Troia quan va tornar de Frígia, on havia anat a participar en els jocs organitzats per un rei del país. Va guanyar el premi, que consistia en cinquanta esclaus joves de cada sexe. El rei de Frígia, seguint un oracle, hi va incloure una vaca clapejada, i li va dir que seguís l'animal i s'establís allà on s'aturés, fundant-hi una ciutat. La vaca es va dirigir cap al nord i es va parar en una muntanya que es deia Ate. En aquell lloc hi havia caigut Ate (l'Error) quan Zeus el va allunyar de l'Olimp. Ilos hi va fundar una nova ciutat, que anomenà Ilion (que significa ciutat d'Ilos) i n'agafà el títol de rei. La ciutat era a la vora del riu Escamandre, prop de Dardània, la ciutat fundada per Dàrdanos.

Poc temps després de la fundació d'Ílion, Ilos va pregar Zeus, i aquest li va enviar un senyal per a testimoniar la bona elecció del lloc on va construir Troia. Un matí, Ilos va trobar davant de la seva tenda, una estàtua caiguda directament del cel, el Pal·ladi. Feia tres colzes d'alçada i tenia els peus junts, a la mà dreta portava una llança i a l'esquerra una filosa i un fus, i representava la imatge de Pal·las. Segons altres versions, l'estàtua va caure a través del sostre del temple de Pal·las que construïa Ilos i que encara no estava acabat i es va posar tota sola en el seu lloc ritual. Una altra versió explica que més endavant, el temple es va incendiar, i Ilos va salvar l'estàtua traient-la del foc, però va quedar cec, ja que no estava permès mirar aquesta imatge divina. Atena se'n va compadir a causa de les seves pregàries i li va tornar la vista, ja que el sacrilegi estava justificat. Poc temps després, morí el seu pare Tros i Ilos, que era l'hereu, renuncià a Dardània i la cedí al seu germà petit Assàrac.

Ilos, segons alguns autors, va combatre contra Tàntal i Pèlops, que eren responsables del rapte del seu fill Ganimedes, i els va desterrar. En morir, fou succeït pel seu fill gran Laomedont.

Back to civilization!!!Yes, I was without the Internet for a while and I just couldn't upload this video...Anyway, here I am, and hopefully all things are sorted now. I made this card couple of minutes before I was going out to meet my sister to have dinner out to celebrate her birthday. I decided to switch on my camera, which was already in its place, above my desk. I was feeling very tired, it was a long day at work, and I was not sure whether I will voice over the video or not.I then decided to just talk as I was making it and then take it from there.
I know that at some point, I stopped talking altogether.I was quiet, lol. In the background the TV was on, and my husband was even making a phone call, totally oblivious to the fact that I was actually making a video.I did told him though and also mentioned, I will not voice over it...So, all in all, this video is a bit different, whereby I didn't really edit it, you can hear the background noise, plus, part of my clip, near the end was missing!! But there is enough information for you to know who I have put the project together.
I am also very pleased with all the positive comments I've had so far regarding this video on youtube. It is interesting to see that sometimes, unedited videos, whereby people can see where was my mistake and how I corrected it, could be helpful and a learning curves for some.
So, there you go, enjoy this video and double click on the video to watch it in HD on youtube. While you are there, please subscribe, rate and comment.
Anyway, bye for now and remember, my Art and my Craft is all about Experiencing, Creating and Sharing.I am teaching you what I can, and I also love hearing your ideas, your suggestions, so do not hesiate to leave a comment on my youtube, or here or pop me an email so we can share...Do not be a stranger..I know that people from all over the world visit my blog but nobody ever really talks to me, except those who have already done so in the past from my previous blog.Please talk to me as I am quite friendly , you know!

During the last years, I've read several data mining articles. Here is a list of my top five articles in data mining. For each article, I put the title, the authors and part of the abstract. Feel free to suggest your favorite ones.
Variable and feature selection have become the focus of much research in areas of application for which datasets with tens or hundreds of thousands of variables are available. These areas include text processing of internet documents, gene expression array analysis, and combinatorial chemistry. The objective of variable selection is three-fold: improving the prediction performance of the predictors, providing faster and more cost-effective predictors, and providing a better understanding of the underlying process that generated the data.
Clustering is the unsupervised classification of patterns (observations, data items, or feature vectors) into groups (clusters). The clustering problem has been addressed in many contexts and by researchers in many disciplines; this reflects its broad appeal and usefulness as one of the steps in exploratory data analysis. However, clustering is a difficult problem combinatorially, and differences in assumptions and contexts in different communities has made the transfer of useful generic concepts and methodologies slow to occur. This paper presents an overview of pattern clustering methods from a statistical pattern recognition perspective, with a goal of providing useful advice and references to fundamental concepts accessible to the broad community of clustering practitioners.
Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late. What is all the excitement about? This article provides an overview of this emerging field, clarifying how data mining and knowledge discovery in databases are related both to each other and to related fields, such as machine learning, statistics, and databases.
In its current form, data mining as a field of practise came into existence in the 1990s, aided by the emergence of data mining algorithms packaged within workbenches so as to be suitable for business analysts. Perhaps because of its origins in practice rather than in theory, relatively little attention has been paid to understanding the nature of the data mining process. The development of the CRISP-DM methodology in the late 1990s was a substantial step towards a standardised description of the process that had already been found successful and was (and is) followed by most practising data miners.
has led to irrelevant theory, questionable conclusions, and has kept statisticians from working on a large range of interesting current problems. Algorithmic modeling, both in theory and practice, has developed rapidly in fields outside statistics.

Disclaimer:- The responsibility for finding out how to manage any tenancy within the law lies with the landlord. If a landlord needs advice about any aspect of the law then they should contact an independent legal advisor. The Council is not a legal advisor and any comments it provides are not a substitute for legal advice. Therefore the Council does not accept liability for any errors arising when landlords use the Council's website.
Please see important information about illegal eviction.
For landlords commencing the necessary research they need to carry out in order to fulfil their responsibilities, the Government's web pages provide some basic information on tenancy law and how to serve Section 21 or Section 8 Notices. Landlords may also like to refer to other relevant Council web pages. Most notices are served under Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988*.
*The criteria for a valid Section 21 Notice don't all apply to a Section 8 Notice. Also, Section 21 Notices don't require the landlord to state grounds for repossession, but Section 8 does require grounds to be provide in court. The notice periods for Section 8 Notices are given on the mandatory prescribed form for Section 8 Notices.
Whether a possession order is granted under Section 21 or Section 8, if the tenant doesn't leave after the notice period, and the landlord still wishes to repossess the property, the landlord must ask the court for possession.

Help Musicians UK / Pledge Music Emerging Artists Award!
I am thrilled to announce that I have won the Help Musicians Uk / PledgeMusic Emerging Artists Award for my second album Upwards of Summer. The award is for independent artists with no outside funding with the "talent and DIY drive" to build a sustainable, long-term career. Chosen by a panel of industry experts, including Victoria Ree (Universal Music Group) and John Dawkins (Various Artists Management - Charli XCX, The Libertines, Spiritualized etc), the award offers funding and career development.
The award marks the culmination of a wild journey for this record. I am delighted and hugely grateful to win this award. This couldn't have been further from how I imagined things turning out. I made the record sort of as a last hurrah, as someone who'd almost given up; I never could have expected it would go on to win the Emerging Artists Award. At the end of 2016, I was worn out and disillusioned, largely from touring (the photo above was taken in the warehouses of Italian distributor Audioglobe on the first leg of the solo tour responsible for the burn out) but also from the intense workload of self-managing for many years, arranging everything from writing the song through artwork, vinyl runs, touring schedules, radio, releases, copyright, etc. I did genuinely find myself wondering whether I would continue making music. When I got back from the last leg of touring Hoverance I took a bit of time to reassess my priorities. During this time I did begin to write again, tentatively at first, just to please myself really. I also started digging back into my earliest inspirations. The first few days after that tour I went cycling in order to get some light and get over jet lag. I dug my old bike out of the shed and rode around listening to "Hey Jack Kerouac" by 10,000 Maniacs on repeat. I decided that if I was going to stop I should make one last record, something that would give me the euphoric lift I got from that song.
I went in the studio with Margo who I'd made Hoverance with, and with my touring band. We treated it like it was the last record and somehow that changed something significant about how I approached it. Fear went out the widow. I didn't doubt, I didn't second guess, I just trusted. This really helped to heal all the frustration and conflict I'd been feeling. Suddenly it was fun and vital again and not the source of worry and conflicted emotions it had become. Pretty soon after, Spotify picked up on the first single, supporting it on the Indie List, and Elton John picked up on it on his Beats1 show on Apple Music. Then I heard about Help Musicians UK and the Emerging Artists Award, and decided to apply.
I think it will be a real game-changer. By matching the pledge, it enables me to support the record in a way I never would have been able to before, hopefully reaching many more listeners. There's a real danger in self-releases that you spend months or years slaving over every detail of the work and then just chuck it out there with fingers crossed. We can now release 2 more singles from the record, and make 2 more videos, instead of just the one. Just last night I made a video with the excellent Katia Ganfield. I have also been able to consult with some real experts, such as Wrapped Up Music's Tim Ferrone. And beyond the funding, it's actually that realm of support and expertise, as well as the sense of community, that may be the most important aspect of the award. Oh, and of course, confidence! No-one really talks about this, but the psychological implications of getting this kind of support are real. I'd almost given up from going it alone, and to have people like this around me changes everything.
I would encourage anyone in a similar position to apply for this award. The deadline for the next funding round is the 31st July.

There Was So Much Wind Power In Germany This Weekend, Consumers Got Free EnergyA stormy weekend led to free electricity in Germany as wind generation reached a record, forcing power producers to pay customers the most since Christmas 2012 to use electricity. Power prices turned negative as wind output reached 39,409 megawatts on Saturday, equivalent to the output of about 40 nuclear reactors. To keep the grid supply and demand in balance, negative prices encourage producers to either shut power stations or else pay consumers to take the extra electricity off the network.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-30/record-winds-in-germany-spur-free-electricity-at-weekend-chart

Young's work interrogates sites of social, architectural, and technological change by employing critical and experimental historiography in analysing the often contradictory ideologies that fuel the future present. His projects have been presented in solo exhibitions at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center (Buffalo); Incident Report Viewing Station (Hudson); Flux Factory (New York); and in group programs including Beyond/In Western New York Biennial and University at Buffalo Art Gallery (both Buffalo, NY); Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival and Conflux Festival (New York, NY), Spanien 19C (Aarhus, DK), and forthcoming ACC Galerie (Weimar, DE), amongst others. He has an MFA in Visual Studies from the University of Buffalo, SUNY and presently resides in San Diego, CA.
In Helsinki, Alex Young will be working in collaboration with Angela Washko on a new project SERFnet, exploring the role of language in cultivating today's networked peasantry.

Q: How to hide html div I'm developing a small application in Ruby-On-Rails. I want to hide a div in an html.erb file until a link is clicked. What is the simplest way to do this?

A: This is easy with javascript. For instance, using the jQuery javascript library, you can easily toggle whether a div appears based on a link, as shown here.
http://jsfiddle.net/Yvdnx/
HTML:
Click Me To Display Div

Foo

Javascript:
$(function() {
    $("div").hide();
    $("a").click(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        $("div").toggle();
    });
});

jQuery is reliable and works across many browsers, which differentiates it from using CSS3 selectors such as :target.

A: In your html file:
Show Whatever

...

In your CSS file:
div.hidden { display: none; }
