The Columbus-Athens Schweitzer Fellows Program® is a one-year interdisciplinary, mentored fellowship program focused on health-related community service and leadership development.
Learn how to exercise leadership skills to work with and influence community based organizations, community leaders, and academic institutions to embrace holistic, service-oriented approaches to health-related issues.
Upon successful completion of the initial Fellowship year, Fellows become part of the alumni network of Fellows for Life – an interdisciplinary pipeline of emerging professionals who are dedicated and skilled in meeting the health-related needs of underserved communities.
Students enrolled in graduate or professional degree-granting programs from any accredited academic institution in the geographic area may apply. While the applicant's field of study does not have to be traditionally health-related, his/her proposed service project must focus on health and/or the social determinants of health. Past Fellows have addressed health or its social determinants from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines including education, arts and humanities, business, divinity studies, health sciences, public health, and social work. We encourage applicants from other fields including engineering, agriculture and environmental sciences, and law. Applicants must be enrolled throughout the Fellowship year (April 2018-May 2019).
Applicants should be creative in developing their proposal. They may choose to develop a totally unique project in keeping with Dr. Schweitzer's directive that everyone should find their own Lambaréné–their own special place to serve, and way of serving. Alternatively, applicants may find inspiration by reviewing past Fellows' projects and partnering agencies. Research, fundraising, and policy-based projects are not considered eligible for a Schweitzer Fellowship.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the Program Director if they would like assistance in identifying a project and/or a project site.
Retreats: Fellows must attend an orientation retreat on Saturday, April 14, 2018.
Service Project: Working in collaboration with a local community agency, each Fellow must design and carry out a service project of at least 200 hours that addresses an unmet community health-related need. At least 150 of the 200 hours must be spent in direct, face-to-face contact with the population being served. Each Fellow will work under the supervision of a Site Mentor from the participating agency and with input from an Academic Mentor of the student's choice. The Program Co-Directors also are available to provide support and guidance throughout the Fellowship year. The 200 hours must be conducted separately from any school course requirement. Retreats, monthly meetings and other Fellowship activities are not part of the required 200 hours. In designing a project, applicants should carefully consider the issues of evaluation and sustainability and include in their applications their ideas for addressing these aspects of the project.
Reports: Fellows are required to submit monthly reports about their activities and a comprehensive written final report to their Program Co-Directors, Academic Mentor, and Site Mentor.
Evaluation: In addition to the evaluation plan for the individual project, Fellows are required to participate in the national pre- and post- evaluation surveys for the Fellowship. Fellow's Site Mentors also complete a final site mentor survey.
Monthly Meetings: Fellows are required to attend monthly meetings. Monthly meetings provide the Fellows with leadership development, interdisciplinary discussions, time for reflection on community service, and an opportunity to network with like-minded students from diverse fields as well as professionals in areas of interest to them.
Recruitment: In the months of November, December, and January, current Fellows work with the Program Director and faculty to organize information sessions about the Schweitzer Fellows Program and present information at their schools about their Fellowship experiences.
Stipend: Fellows receive a stipend of $3,000, distributed in two payments (at the beginning and end of the Fellowship year) as specific program objectives are completed. The stipend may be used in any way the Fellow wishes, including project related costs and personal expenses. As funding is limited, The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is unable to provide any additional financial support beyond the stipend.
Celebration of Service: Fellows are required to attend a Celebration of Service in their honor in Spring 2019.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend an information session before completing an application. Information sessions will be scheduled on the OSU and OU campuses.
Contact information of three references is required on the application. At least one reference should be a faculty member from your school who could serve as your academic mentor for the Schweitzer Fellowship. Formal letters of recommendation will not be accepted.
The application deadline for the Columbus-Athens Chapter is February 13, 2018.

Stolen Life by Fred Moten
"Taken as a trilogy, consent not to be a single being is a monumental accomplishment: a brilliant theoretical intervention that might be best described as a powerful case for blackness as a category of analysis."—Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary Imagination
In Stolen Life—the second volume in his landmark trilogy consent not to be a single being—Fred Moten undertakes an expansive exploration of blackness as it relates to black life and the collective refusal of social death. The essays resist categorization, moving from Moten's opening meditation on Kant, Olaudah Equiano, and the conditions of black thought through discussions of academic freedom, writing and pedagogy, non-neurotypicality, and uncritical notions of freedom. Moten also models black study as a form of social life through an engagement with Fanon, Hartman, and Spillers and plumbs the distinction between blackness and black people in readings of Du Bois and Nahum Chandler. The force and creativity of Moten's criticism resonate throughout, reminding us not only of his importance as a thinker, but of the continued necessity of interrogating blackness as a form of sociality.
Fred Moten is Professor of Performance Studies at New York University and the author of Black and Blur and The Universal Machine, both also published by Duke University Press, and In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition.

A Journey Impossible
A Good Kill
On the east coast of India it was a clear morning on Friday, 10th of February. Just after 10.10 AM, the Long Range Tracking Radars near Puri city on Orissa coast, picked up a warning of a hostile missile, coming in to attack. The Missile was at an altitude of about 100 KM and was rapidly descending down. Multi Functional Radar at Paradip also started tracking the hostile missile and passed on the information to a guidance computer, which after computing the target's flight data, immediately issued a command to launch an Advanced Air Defence (AAD) interceptor missile from the Wheeler Island base on east coast of India. Within minutes, the interceptor missile was launched. The interceptor missile, equipped with inertial navigation system, an on board hi-tech computer and a radio-frequency seeker, locked on to the target hostile missile. Travelling at supersonic speed, the AAD homed on to the target and blasted it to smithereens, around 10.15AM. at a height of about 15-km in the endo-atmosphere.
This is neither a fragment of imagination from me, nor a scene from some action flic. The action scenario actually took place. Only the attacker missile was not from some foreign country, but a modified surface-to-surface Prithvi missile launched from Launch Complex-3 at Chandipur, again on east coast of India and was sent to validate the new Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) capability for India.
The launches, that of the attacker missile and of the interceptor took place independently and both missiles were controlled by Radars in different places in the country, one by the Mission Control center and another by Launch control center. Fifteen computers stationed at Hyderabad, Balasore, Chandipur, Konark, Puri, Wheeler Island and so on, worked in unison and saw that the mission was a complete success. Defense research and development organization engineers, saw the tracks formed by the fragments of the destroyed attacker missile on their radar screens. The attacker missile belonged to 600 km range class, the interceptor missile is capable of defending against on missiles which have a range up to 2,000 km.
DRDO's Chief Controller for missiles and strategic systems certifies that it was an excellent interception and says that "the entire interception was automated with radars tracking the incoming target missile." While the Launch Control Centre was situated in the Wheeler Island, the Mission Control Centre was situated a few "thousands of kilometers away from the launch point" of the attacker missile.
Director General of DRDO now confirms that India's Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) programme in the endo-atmosphere (that is, below an altitude of 50 km) is now ready for deployment and the country is in a position to take it to the next phase of production and induction.. A user team from the Army, which was present in the Wheeler Island, watched the entire operation.
So far so good. We must congratulate the scientists and engineers of the DRDO for a sucessful missions. A nagging doubt however remains in my mind. We, Indians are good at creating new things. We build state of the art airports. Yet, after few years, we find that these are in a dire state, because of negligence and extremely poor maintenance. In a ballistic missile defense system, the defender missile has to be launched within minutes as the window available for defense can not exceed more that few minutes. This means that the defense system must be always maintained and kept in perfect condition so as to be ready for launch at any given instant. To build in, such high degree of readiness, is indeed a tall order and unless it can be achieved, just providing a Ballistic Missile Defense may not achieve much.

We wish to get You acquainted with Montagliari wine mansion, where are our house wines coming from. In autumn of 2012 paid restaurants "Bergfeldt" sommeliers a visit to Italy, Toscana, to find wines suitable with our Mediterranean a`la Carte menu. There we came across with wonderful little wine manufacturer Davide Migliorini, who is an enologist by profession.
First acquaintance was made in June of 2010 on Italian Wine days in Haapsalu, where concortium of Cianti Classoco was invited to present their wines, among them also Fattoria Montagliari. By the way the town Greve located in Cianti Classico area is also Haapsalus twin town.
Fattoria Montagliari, from where Fra Mare house wines are coming from manufactures mainly red wines and extra virgin olive oil.
The whole work there is made by Davide`s big family consisting of his wife, children, a mother Bruna and brother's family.
The origin of the wine mansion is a bit unusual also for Italy.
Davide says that he bought it on year 2000 from a man, who was not willing to leave the mansion to his son, because the son was not interested in wine manufacture; but this was the condition of an old man. So ended Davide, who had just graduated department of enology, and returned from the practise in America up with wine mansion. In addition of mansion he got land and wine cellars and all dignified mature wines in the cellars.
The wine cellars of Montagliari mansion contain imposingly big collection of wines from years 1962 until 1983, which all are certified by consortium of Cianti Classico.
In ancient wine cellar is all necessary mechanics for traditional wine making, as well big amount of wood barrels, where the wine is being held. Part of the cellar is located underground and it is maintained like 300 years ago when it was built in 1700.
The mansion works also as a hotel and a restaurant. All the rooms are with private bathrooms and are fully heated.
The Restaurant is run by Bruna ( Owner's mother), a superb cook that will let you taste the traditional Tuscan cuisine with rustic dishes made with fresh ingredients and wines made exclusively from the Montagliari farm.
Tha mansion has also its own shop, where You can purchase mansions local produce.
The ways to spend one`s time in Montagliari are more than enough: in autumn You can participate in mansions works, as grape picking; in summer can one enjoy mansions historical beauty, wonderful cooking and charming nature on the outer terrace surrounded by trees, which are 100 years old.
The Montagliari Farm is surrounded by 26 acres of vineyards, raised in Mixed Guyot Training System. The vine plants present are the ones typical of Chianti (Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano, Malvasia). On 16 acres of land are olive groves, from which we manufacture high quality olive oil.
We hope that our choice of wines is also Your choice!

Q: Lookup list dependant on the contents of another cell hope someone can help to crack this one?
I've got a table on my data entry tab (sheet 1) where each row includes two data validation drop down lists (source is on sheet2). I want the options in the second drop down list (k13) to be dependant on what is selected in the first drop down list (g13)...
ie. if you select 'Diary' in the first drop down box then the second drop down only has 'Cheese', 'Milk' and 'Yogurt' - likewise, if you select 'Fruit' in the first box - I want the only options to be available specific to that categories column in the lookup table on sheet 2 (which are 'apple', 'pear' and 'banana' in this case)?
Please help - i think this is a vlookup indirect formula??

A: I would make this a comment, but then the information may be lost. You're looking for dependent validation. this page has some good information. And I quote:

Open a new Workbook and on Sheet1 enter these heading into cells A1:D1
Expensive Cars, Cities, Names, Countries
Now place some relevant entries below these headings, down to say row 5. Now select A1:D1, click in the Name Box (left of the formula bar) type the name: List1 and push Enter. Now select A1:D5 (or the last row of the longest list) and go to Insert>Name>Create. Ensure only "Top Row" is checked and click Ok. If you now go back to the Name Box you will see 5 Named ranges. Note how Excel has used the Underscore for "Expensive_Cars". This is because Named ranges cannot have spaces.
Now click onto Sheet2 and select cell A1. Go to Data>Validation, choose the "List" option then type: =List1 in the Source box. Ensure "In-cell dropdown" is checked and click Ok. Now select cell A2 and again go to Data>Validation, choose the "List" option then type: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($A$1," ","_"))
in the Source box. Ensure "In-cell dropdown" is checked and click Ok.
Now select a list from cell A1 and you will get the appropriate list in cell A2.
Notes

*

*Normally, a Validation list cannot refer to a list from another Worksheet. This can be overcome by naming the list and using its Name over its address.

*The INDIRECT Function return the reference returned by a text string. This means, rather than the Validation List in A2 seeing the content of A1 as a text string, it sees it as a range name .

*The SUBSTITUTE Function is used to replace any spaces in the text of A1 with a Underscore. This is vital when we have items in List1 like: Expensive Cars.

thankyou for reviving this DEAD thread!

The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC)
Students to get in tune with classical music
A local chamber music program administrator and a noted children's book author have combined to provide an opportunity for youngsters and their families to be introduced to classical music.
Charleston House Concerts will present a string quartet in concert with a narrator and projected images in "Music and Stories That Pass Through Generations" at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Footlight Players Theater, 20 Queen St. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for children.
Sandra Nikolajevs, who directs Charleston House Concerts, and Margot Theis Raven, author of "Circle Unbroken," got together after Nikolajevs approached Raven about doing a program for kids.
The idea is to teach children about the different instruments of a string quartet, and how music and stories are passed through generations and make up the fabric of cultural history, Nikolajevs said.
The concert will begin with an introduction of the musicians and their instruments. The string quartet will perform arrangements of such popular children's songs as "Are You Sleeping?" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" with the audience singing along.
The focal piece of the concert will be a performance of "Circle Unbroken: The Story of a Basket and Its People," a musical adaptation of Raven's children's story that brings to life the history of sweetgrass basket making, an art form that was brought to the Lowcountry by Africans that has been passed on to their descendants.
The string quartet will perform music of the late black composer William Grant Still as the story is narrated by local classical musician Rachel Dowling and illustrations by E.B. Lewis are displayed.
"This is a family chamber music concert," Nikolajevs said. "We have an interest in making a very well-defined and thought-out chamber concert for young people. It's a lot to ask a child to sit through a full Mozart concert, for instance. This puts it with songs they're familiar with and are appropriate for their age level."
She said her group wants to make the show something children will enjoy and that maintains their interest.
"In the past, I've always tried to come up with a way to do an educational format for any nonprofit performing organization that wants to develop a future audience. I've tried going into schools, to master classes and dress rehearsals in schools, and I've determined that this is the most successful way of doing it, putting it on in a bona fide theater. When children go to a theater, they feel like little grown-ups."
Nikolajevs said she has developed a lesson plan for third-graders based on the project. "It focuses on the musical aspects, the instruments and the standards teachers like to address. There are links to Web sites so they can study African-American music and baskets. One school is having a basket demonstration."
Raven said of the project, "I think it's very original. At least in a contemporary sense, I've never heard of a book that generated this kind of thing."
Review of Circle Unbroken Concert
'Circle Unbroken' spellbinds audience
Review by Jeff Johnson
Post and Courier Charleston, SC
As part of the Piccolo Spoleto Spotlight series at the New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist Church, Chamber Music Charleston introduced their spellbinding version of "Circle Unbroken," arranged by bassoonist and manager Sandra Nikolajevs.
It is based on Margot Raven's story of the origin of the sweetgrass basket, the basket woven by local black artists who are the descendants of slaves. Nikolajevs also cobbled together the music from two string quartets by William Grant Still to provide a musical background to the words, narrated by Rachel Dowling, and with slide illustrations by E.B. Lewis.
"Circle Unbroken," the centerpiece of the concert, traces the literal and symbolic history of the sweetgrass basket from 18th century Africa to 21st century Charleston. The baskets were created by Africans and brought to southern America. After passing through plantation slavery and wars, the sweetgrass basket ultimately becomes a symbol of racial harmony in this piece. The general good humor of Still's music softens the more gruesome aspects of the dialogue, making it more palatable to the intended audience. Both Still's music and Lewis' illustrations foreshadow the final happy racial resolution.
San Diego State University – Department of English and Comparative Literature
Holly Boland, May 2004
Circle Unbroken is a semi-fictional story about a grandmother who tells her daughter how she has learned to weave sweetgrass baskets. She goes through their ancestors, the Gullah, from Africa and how their traditions carried the basket weaving through generations by testing girls and boys on their skill in order to rise up into adulthood. She goes on to tell how their family was captured and transported to the Carolinas to be sold as slaves. She tells of the Revolutionary War and of freedom won. She explains how the "beauty of old baskets was something new" as people stop by the small carts selling baskets to the tourists.
Throughout the ages, the tradition of weaving the baskets has been passed down generation to generation linking the future to the past.
This book takes an educational topic, the history of the African Gullah and the sweetgrass basket, and weaves the fictional story of a girl learning from her grandmother to create an entertaining and informative book for children. It certainly developed my own appreciation for a unique culture and its sweetgrass baskets.

A book about the origins of the intricate technique and art of basket making as preserved by the Africans who were brought to America as slaves and their descendants. A grandmother guides her granddaughter's hands as she teaches her the art of basket sewing. When the child asks her how she came to make baskets, the woman's answer harkens back to a time when one of their ancestors, the child's "old-timey grandfather," is being initiated into manhood in a village in Africa.
Part of the rite involves being able to make a grass basket woven or coiled so tightly that it can hold water. Soon after this event, the young man is captured, transported to America, and sold as a slave at an auction in Charleston, SC. During the day he works the fields, but by night he makes baskets, and this skill is passed down from one generation to the next.
Raven's text masterfully frames several hundred years of African-American history within the picture-book format. Lewis's double-page, watercolor images are poignant and perfectly matched to the text and mood. A section at the end of the book offers information about the "coil" or "Gullah" baskets, as they are known today, as well as the regions of Africa where this art form originated. This title works as both a story and informational book; consider it as a first purchase.
From Booklist *Starred Review*

A child today learns from her grandmother how to make a sweet grass Gullah basket, a craft that her ancestors brought with them from West Africa to South Carolina and Georgia. The clear poetic words and exquisite watercolor illustrations depict how the small circular basket holds the big circle of African American history "past slavery and freedom, old ways and new." Far across the ocean, the child's ancestor learned as a young boy to harvest tall grassy reeds and weave them into baskets to winnow the rice.
When he came as a slave to a strange land and worked in the fields, he found similar grasses and continued to weave baskets in the old way, as did the woman he married. They passed on their craft and their stories, as the child's grandmother is doing now. Rooted in daily life, the metaphors grow naturally from the weaving action, with fingers that talk and show "the road ahead was over and through."
The small basket serves as a beautiful way to focus the sweep of African American history, and Lewis' astonishing pictures combine the panoramas of upheaval and war with portraits of individuals in small circles weaving and passing on their heritage in craft and story. The dramatic endpapers reinforce the strength of those ever-widening woven circles, their delicate beauty and enduring connections. A historical note and bibliography are appended.

"Raven's text masterfully frames several hundred years of African-American history within the picture-book format. Lewis's double-page watercolor images are poignant and perfectly matched to the text and mood."
This is a great way for young and old to lean about sweet grass basket making! Perfect for late elementary school students.
This book was very nice: lovely pictures, gentle storyline that was also informative. I enjoyed it very much.
The book's illustrations were very interesting and creative. The story line was an accurate dipiction of slavery and the history behind it. It connected strong family ties from generation to generation with the beautiful basket weaves and family customs. Those who are associated with the geography of the book can make a strong personal connection to the atmosphere of the book. For teaching purposes, it relates the importance of family history and bonds throught the generations. It also shows how far we've developed as a society. It would be part of our text set for slavery in our classroom.
The best children's book on Charleston, 2004-08-28
If I were making a very short list of books to remember Charleston by, this would be on it. The language is lyrical and wonderful to read aloud. The illustrations are gorgeous. Both Raven and Lewis do a superb job of sharing the meaning of family ties across generations, as well as sharing the Gullah culture. I'm a newcomer to the Low Country, and I don't have any African heritage, but still, something in this story really resonated with me. Highly recommended!
A moving history of a dying art, 2004-06-20
We love the South Carolina Low Country, and are proud to own a number of sweetgrass baskets, most made by the same lady. This book was a wonderful find to share with my daughter, who is almost 4. The pictures are lovely, and the history is honest without being too brutal for younger listeners. Older readers will certainly get the depth of the slave history, while it serves as a good introduction for the younger. I found it to be a poetic and lyrical read, and a good explanation of how the art of Low Country coil basket weaving (also known as Charleston sweetgrass basket weaving) has been passed down.

In this short paper I analyze some of the characteristic of microfinance and compare the performance of a microfinance fund, namely the Swiss based ResponsAbility Microfinance Fund managed by Credit Suisse with an investment in equity (I could have even compared the same with a more conservative bond fund to obtain similar results). I try to demonstrate that an investment in microfinance can be profitable both from a social and financial standpoint.

A: First of all jsp will not convert into JSON rather you should ask how to convert output to json
I  can see you orderDetailsList1 is String key and String object so you can use below Json object constructor to convert it into json.
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(orderDetailsList1);

Achieving Community: Let's get real
Not so long ago, Kristen Jeffers (who blogs as the Black Urbanist) shared an article over at Afropunk called "The Caucasian's Guide to Black Neighborhoods." It's very, very funny, and particularly useful reading for anyone who's more interested in our ability to build meaningful communities than in the more prevalent discussion of who, in any particular place, does or does not belong.
In short, says author Michael Harriot, mutual respect, communication, and a willingness to roll with neighborhood norms (okay, his take on this last point is articulated a bit differently) is what makes the difference. These are the building blocks of comfortable co-existence, from which acceptance, belonging, contributing, and building something together, it would seem, become more viable propositions.
At the time, I remember being struck by just how much of Harriot's tongue-in-cheek description of an everyday black neighborhood embodied all the things that urbanists and community activists seem to be chasing. We may use different and decidedly more wonky language but the net outcomes are basically the same.
Neighborhoods, in their truest sense, are characterized by strong ties and conviviality, interdependence, eclectic mixed-use, and a collective sense of self-reliance — all of which is engendered, embodied, and enforced on a day-to-day basis by particular individuals playing key organizational roles.
The sense that people of perhaps wildly different cultural perspectives might share common ground when considering what community, at its best, actually looks like is a hopeful one. But can it really play out in practice?
A key difference
I've written before about the real problem, as I see it. That is, the way communities form and the manners by which they care for and protect one another evolved organically across thousands of years of human history in which one thing was consistently true: We needed each other. And we knew it.
Now, for the past century or so, a host of advancements in standard of living, energy extraction, technology, health care, comfort, etc. has given many — particularly the affluent — a false sense that this is no longer the case. We don't need each other. We're self-made, rugged individualists and if we need something it's surely something that can be purchased. We'll just make a call.
As this belief has become more prevalent, it's become manifest in our behaviors which have then become manifest in our laws — separating ourselves and outlawing the casual networks of commerce and care that build community resilience. But as it turns out, this rise of the individual has also revealed, somewhat ironically, a dark underside to our collective delusion: We might replace the care and protection of community with more personal autonomy and a curated network of services-for-purchase but we can't replace its far more valuable by-product: the sense of transcendent human fulfillment that's only possible in communion with other human beings.
Perhaps it's a stretch, but I'll throw it out there anyways: Would our 2016 Presidential election season have played out the same way if we'd been, collectively, a more empathetic and interdependent national community? One that didn't reflexively view others solely in terms of what they have to take rather than what they have to give?
So what's the prescription in a world where people are literally more disconnected and, for many, innocently or unknowingly participating in daily behaviors built on the false promises of isolation and consumptive self-determination?
For many, their day-to-day existence in the modern world actively works against the formation of the very social and commercial ties that characterize a truly meaningful sense of what we call community.
The person who serves as neighborhood role model and keeper-of-order? We have the police for that. The neighbors who provide services or sell food out of their homes? That's outlawed. The kids who need opportunity and guidance? That's their parent's responsibility.
These are hard habits to break. But we know we need to because many, many people are carrying an emptiness they can't explain. They yearn for community but find it difficult to experience in ways that aren't superficial or, worse, characterized only by a collective effort to keep others out.
Technology to the rescue?
Technology, particularly social media, has certainly been on the case, and the prospects for all those connections it's helped make is something I've written about before. Since that time, we've had the rise of the sharing economy and the results there are also a mixed bag. Services like Uber might not have all that much to do with genuine sharing but they have proven to be better mousetraps — providing consumers experiencing terrible or nonexistent taxi service a viable alternative. Ditto with Airbnb. It provides a valuable service and is even fostering connections to some degree, but it's not typically in ways that build strong, resilient neighborhoods.
But now there's something (somewhat) new on the horizon that may just have what it takes to crack that nut: Fostering neighborhood-based commerce in a way that brings people together and builds meaningful local ties.
It's called Josephine and it's an app for connecting hungry people with local cooks preparing small run, take-away dishes out of their homes. In short, cooks sign up with the service, undergo training and kitchen inspection, and then post what they'll be cooking, when it'll be available for pick-up, and what it costs. Neighbors using the service drop by during the appointed window, hang out in the kitchen, chat while the meal is packaged up, and head home, feeling one step closer to an actual neighbor and to the value that neighbor presents to the community.
The cooks, on the other hand, develop authentic interdependent relationships with their neighbor customers and even with other cooks in the area.
What's the rub?
Of course, as I mentioned previously, we've outlawed these types of activities — just as Uber and Airbnb have discovered in their ongoing conflicts with local regulators. In fact, Josephine may face a tougher road than most, as their goals not only conflict with typical zoning regulations that outlaw home-based businesses, but also with health and safety regulations that govern food production.
My hope is that, like Uber and Airbnb, communities will find the middle ground that works for them rather than trying to force new forms of innovation into established, either/or systems of doing things.
Surely there are levels of production below which the use of an inspected home kitchen might be acceptable, and surely the traffic generated by a handful of customers each day is of no real consequence. But existing regulations (and, in many cases, attitudes) say otherwise.
You can read more about how Josephine is taking on these challenges here, here and here.
Looking at the types of neighborhoods described by the Michael Harriot piece — places where many if not most people lack the option of just buying their way out of their problems — should tell us something.
When we need each other we naturally organize ourselves in particular ways. Those ways work, from a purely functional standpoint. But they also work on a deeper level. By bringing us closer and enabling the give-and-take of daily human negotiation, they also make us something more. Something better.
There's the idea of community as it's often presented in marketing literature and then there's this. When people say they yearn for community, whether they realize it or not, this is what they're pining for.

November's Member Meet-Up: Reviewing the impact of IR35 changes
In our latest IPSE Member Meet-Up on the impact of IR35 changes in the private sector, members reflected on IPSE's latest research into the impact of IR35 and shared how the changes are impacting on their freelance businesses.
The meeting facilitated discussion on IPSE's latest research findings, with members often sharing their own similar experiences of financial challenge, conflicts around status determinations, use of the CEST tool and provision of Status Determination Statements.
With IPSE due to give evidence to the House of Lords Finance Bill Sub-Committee (6 December 2021) as part of their follow-up inquiry into the IR35 reforms in the private sector, the shared experiences of members will be fed back to the inquiry.
Reflecting on latest IR35 research
The discussion initially focused on IPSE's latest research on the impact of IR35 reforms, with members keen to share how the findings compared to their own experiences.
There were reports that clients within the banking and financial services sectors had introduced blanket assessments of inside IR35 and blanket bans on contractors operating through their own limited companies. This closely aligns with the research findings which revealed that 21 per cent of freelancers reported that their client had simply assessed all engagements as inside IR35 whilst a further 11 per cent reported that their client had moved them onto a payroll without assessing the IR35 status of the engagement.
In particular, members operating in these sectors expressed frustrations over the fact that large clients had adopted these approaches with contractors back in February 2020 and had not changed this approach when the delay to the implementation of the rules was announced due to the pandemic. Instead, these large clients often referred to the imposition of blanket bans and blanket assessments as a business decision – when this clearly was not the case.
Umbrella company and outside IR35 experiences
For other members, now operating via an umbrella company as is the case with 34 per cent of the freelance workforce, the expectation that contractors will now have to cover the liability of Employer's NI and where applicable, the Apprenticeship Levy, was seen as extremely unreasonable. In addition, these members also cited the fact that these deductions were often taking place after the negotiation of agreed rates.
On a more positive note, one member recounted their experience of using IPSE's outside IR35 template contract to successfully achieve an outside IR35 role – closely reflecting our research which showed that 51 per cent of freelancers are currently working on contracts which have been deemed outside IR35.
IPSE Member Meet-Ups run on the last Thursday of each month and allow members to discuss and learn from each other's experiences, but also inform our policies, research work and more.
Spaces are limited to 30 to keep the sessions manageable, so if you're interested in joining we recommend signing up early. Keep an eye out for an email about next month's – coming soon.

NB, You will need https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor plugin (free) to complete the tutorial. As you have to set the excel macro parameters using the Storage Format editor, because setting dynamic variables via macro dialog is not supported.
Since version 1.9.20 of ConfiForms we have added support for using built-in Excel macro (and other Office documents related macros) inside ConfiForms IFTTT.
Here is how you can built a solution which accepts uploading excel files and storing them as attachments and creating a page per file to show the uploaded excel file contents.
Let's start with the ConfiForms Form definition.
We will have only one field in the form and it will be of type "File"
So, you can see we have a ConfiForms form, one registration control to enable creating new records, and a field named "excel" of type "file"
The important part here is highlighted, you can see that "filename" is set to [entry.excel], which will be dynamically substituted to the uploaded file name when the page is created.

Brotherhood – 60% Out Of 100
Posted by Guest Contributor | 24 Aug, 2016 | Reviews, Screen Reviews |
Score 60%
A packed house of cast, crew and invited guests filled the VUE Leicester Square for this screening of Brotherhood which marks the end of the 'Hood' movies which raised a generation and shaped the future of British film.
Creator, Writer and Star Noel Clarke introduced the film with a touching speech on leaving the hood franchise behind. Many of the cast members past and present were in the building to watch the final instalment.
I would advise watching Kidulthood & Adulthood before seeing this ending, for nostalgia and also to recap on some of the story lines and characters which are revisited here.
Brotherhood starts with a shooting which awakens Sam from his life away from crime. The Godfather theme – just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in – sets the narrative for this film as previously with Adulthood. Rivals revenge & retribution, much of the same elements are put together again with the expected mix of sex, money, gangs and drama but the underlying allegorical thread throughout is redemption. Lives have been changed over the years, and those who made it out feel duty bound to save the rest. A great message to those watching who may still have one foot or entire crews still engaged in real life criminality.
Noel Clarke is a grown up, this is his graduation. The storyline is tighter with a few exceptions, the writing expanded and edgier and the acting by the ensemble cast is for the most part packaged much better than the other movies.
Brotherhood by itself could easily be classed as a sophisticated look at street life, but when added to the trilogy it is a fitting sendoff which accurately showcases the lifespan of street life and how important these movies have been for British Urban Film. Never focusing on one element fully it could have been a confusing mess but great production ensures the outcome is a well put together piece of work. I'm sure the Lionsgate budget helped out a little bit too.
The addition of Stormzy to the cast was no doubt to capitalise on his current status and also bring in an audience too young to appreciate Kidulthood in its time, to his credit he comes away with a solid performance, although not a stretch from his music persona and ends up on the right side. It was great to see old favourites like Shanika Warren Markland & Arnold Oceng back, although it is not clear from the film how their characters both ended up in close contact with Sam.
Red Madrell also returns to reprise her role as Alissa and we get to see a glimpse of the daughter Trife left behind in Kidulthood. David Ajala as Desmond is great to see, first a kid in the playground, then a PSCO now a full-fledged CID investigator but still Sam's friend in need, the true definition of the title Brotherhood.
Cornell John's portrayal as Curtis has always been the Achilles heel for me. Being of Jamaican decent, his exaggerated accent jarred back then and has not improved. Most of the villains in the film take on a comical demeanour but this portrayal borders on pantomime, It's a shame much of the storyline centres around Curtis and Sam's long standing feud. But, that one sore point was overshadowed by a stellar performance throughout from Arnold Oceng as Henry. He is by far the strongest character on screen both in stature and comical timing. From questioning the paternity of his lookalike child to his scenes with Stormzy, and Lashana Lynch who plays wife Ashanti, if this wasn't the end I could easily see Noel Clarke making an entire series based on his character alone.
Director: Noel Clarke
Writer: Noel Clarke
Cast: David Ajala, Noel Clarke, Arnold Oceng, Lashana Lynch, Stormzy, Shania Warren-Markland, Ashley Thomas
UK release date: July 29th 2016
Summary Overall it was great to see the hood movies end on such a high note. Whatever Noel Clarke does in the future, this will always be his calling card and he can be proud of the legacy he created.

I first noticed Chocaffinitea (103 Gloucester Road) a couple of weeks ago when I was wandering the North Laines one weekend. It's such a gorgeous little place, with the most amazing coffee, tea, chocolate & raw desserts. The owners Paul & Heather are so friendly and knowledgeable, it's fast become one of our favourite places to grab a coffee & chill out with a bit of people watching!
A cafe with a conscience, Chocaffinitea aims to change the perception that Chocolate, Coffee & Tea are unhealthy guilty pleasures, instead offering high quality artisan products, baked goods & raw deserts (made by Heather herself each day!) that are full of flavour and nourishing benefits.
I'd never had raw deserts before, but the idea of guilt-free sweets sounded too good to miss, so being the greedy girl I am I decided on not one dessert, but a mini platter!
The raw platter, pretty and tasty!
I was not disappointed by my first raw vegan experience! These were such beautiful desserts and so delicious. The texture of the nut & date bases were satisfying & felt wholesome, & the toppings were rich & creamy.
Mango Lassi Cheesecake made from cashew nut cream.
Cacao & Coffee infused cheesecake.
Cacao brownie infused with orange.
Cacao brownie with avocado frosting.
My favourite was the mango lassi cheesecake, fresh flavours I had never had before, & the little heart, absolutely gorgeous and melted quicker that any chocolate I've ever eaten.
Heather makes all the raw desserts each morning, & will chat to you about the ingredients and recipes.
We washed it down with coffee & Madagascan hot chocolate. Chocaffinitea bring in lots of different coffees so you can smell & pick the one you fancy that day, it had such a pure taste we didn't need to add any milk or sugar – surprising for my boyfriend who always adds sugar to it! I had the hot chocolate, very different from the regular stuff, with a yummy spicy little kick.
There's also tons of great products to buy, soft drinks in beautiful bottles, extensive ranges of tea and coffee, & of course more chocolate – even vegan white chocolate!
A selection of Chocaffinitea's ethically sourced quality single origin chocolate.
I was drawn to the pretty packaging of these Marou bars – so shiny!
So if you are a fan of raw desserts – or like me you haven't ever had them before, I'd really recommend you pop over to Chocaffinitea and give it a go! You will meet lovely people and leave with a happy tummy and happy heart – and maybe even a few pretty bars of chocolate!

Send a clear message to your newly elected congresspeople.
Tell them they were not sent to or sent back to DC to continue business as usual. Tell those newly elected they were not elected to become part of the establishment. No earmarks in this lame duck session. Cut spending, taxes and Federal involvement and state and local governments (closer to the people) will have the money to provide for themselves. The Federal government is not the answer. If there is a problem they make it worse. If there is no problem they will legislate one and F%@K everything up. That is the record of government from local up to the federal level. Hold your newly elected accountable and if they don't perform throw them out on their respective A$$ES. Put the federal government back to where it constitutionally belongs. LIMITED. Urge your state representatives to back repeal of the 17th amendment. Urge your local representatives to put pressure on your state officials to do this and contact your federal representatives to repeal this anti constitutional amendment. Take back control of government. It has been too much for too long.

Home Regal Reel Blog The Best Zombie Movies of All Time!
The Best Zombie Movies of All Time!
Posted on Sep 25, 2019 10:00:58 AM
True to the genre, the popularity of zombie movies is in a constant state of rising and falling. In recent years there have been new takes on old tropes, and audiences are hungry for the latest interpretation of the living dead. On the surface these movies are energy-filled action stories, but zombie movies have often served as platforms to share social commentary on human nature and our own inner demons. With the release of Zombieland: Double Tap set for October 18, we thought we would highlight some of the best zombie movies of all time!
Zombieland Double Feature Coming to Regal
Alice (Milla Jovovich), Matt (Eric Mabius), and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) in Resident Evil (2002)
The jump from video game to major movie can be a tough venture to tackle, but Resident Evil was able to add some exciting new moments to zombie lore. It is a difficult task to work against the largest corporation and the smartest AI in the world, and that's before we even get to the zombies. Honestly, the laser hall alone is enough reason to get this movie on the list.
THE HORDE (2009)
Ouessem (Jean-Pierre Martins) in The Horde (2009)
The Horde (original title: La Horde) begins as a movie about crooked cops conducting a raid on a gang hideout. During the raid the zombie outbreak begins, and the two groups are forced to join together to survive. The tension never lifts, even in moments of relative safety, as neither group can fully bring themselves to trust the other. At least they all know how to use guns.
TRAIN TO BUSAN (2016)
Soo-an (Su-an Kim) in Train to Busan (2016)
If you haven't heard of the movie Train to Busan, do yourself a favor and add it to your list. The movie tracks a group of survivors on a train as a zombie outbreak erupts throughout Korea. Each stop on the tracks brings its own challenges as the group fights to make it to the safety of Busan, a city that has been secured by the military. If you think your commute is bad, then this will put it in perspective.
While it can be difficult for a remake to hit the same level as the original, there is enough in Dawn of the Dead to bring audiences back for a long time. It's no mystery why that is when you realize Zack Snyder and James Gunn helmed the project. It's a little bit of an understatement to say their careers have gone well since. The movie brought the same terrifying appeal of the original while managing to add some new horror of its own. Fair warning, if you're pregnant you may want to save this one for later.
THE EVIL DEAD (1981)
Bridget Hoffman in The Evil Dead (1981)
Speaking of young talent, would you believe the undiscovered Sam Raimi was only 21 when he released The Evil Dead in 1981? Since then, the movie has grown to be a cult classic and has even spurred a popular musical show. The plot is simple in premise, but the execution and the addition of topline dark comedy is where this movie shines.
ZOMBIELAND (2009)
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and 406 (Amber Heard) in Zombieland (2009)
Sporting a strong cast of Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin (plus BILL FREAKING MURRAY), this movie blended comedy and horror swiftly and seamlessly. Guided by his survival rules, Columbus (Eisenberg) navigates the United States of Zombieland with his group of misfits. The journey never takes itself too seriously, but that somehow works to add a genuine sense of human emotion to the story. If you have a friend who isn't the biggest zombie fan, then this is a good starter movie for them.
28 DAYS LATER (2002)
Frank (Brendan Gleeson), Jim (Cillian Murphy), and Selena (Naomie Harris) in 28 Days Later (2002)
The zombies of 28 Days Later are fast—like really, really fast. Watch the zombies of the original Night of the Living Dead at 10x the speed, and you're getting close. The audience was as surprised as anyone when the "Rage Virus" hit the UK in 2004. The frenetic speed and insatiable hunger of the zombies helped to kick off the return of the living dead to the big screen and inspired a new generation of filmmakers to take on the genre.
SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004)
Liz (Kate Ashfield) and Shaun (Simon Pegg) in Shaun of the Dead (2004)
The genre of this movie has been described as a Rom-Com-Zom, and indeed it highlights elements from all three categories. You'll notice familiar elements like the diversified survivor group and the goal of making it somewhere "safe." But make no mistake, this is no cheap parody of the genre. The story makes fun of tropes from past zombie movies while also shedding light on how they will find new life in the modern era. In the end you have a well-constructed, wonderfully paced movie that became an integral part of the genre it celebrates.
(left to right) Francine (Gaylen Ross), Stephen (David Emge), Peter (Ken Foree), and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) in Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Romero followed his first installment with a new perspective on the zombie outbreak. We go from a small group of survivors barricaded in a house to a SWAT team raid on an apartment block, and a quiet graveyard in the countryside to a crowded mall in the city. In addition to scope, the tone of the movie opts to replace some of the despair of the original with high-energy action. Though the scale is larger, the smaller, interpersonal conflicts and social commentary remain earning Dawn of the Dead a spot on our best zombie movie list.
Night of the Living Dead is the movie that formed our interpretation of the modern zombie and awoke the fascination of generations to come. George A. Romero is a household name because of his crafty work with the undead, and it all started here. While it is hard to compare the visuals to our modern-day CGI equivalents, suffice it to say, the storytelling is as strong as ever, and we still get chills listening to the TV announcements as the house of survivors slowly learn their fate. There is simply no other comparison when it comes to classic zombie movies.
Zombieland: Double Tap comes to Regal on October 18th.

ABOMINABLE—The Many Different Faces of the Yeti


At Saintfield High School we earnestly endeavour to provide all of our pupils with a holistic educational experience. A central aspect of this provision is ensuring high levels of pastoral care for every child in our school community.
The pastoral journey has been based upon feedback from parents/carers, pupils and staff, and we are confident that it will provide pupils with a wide and balanced insight into a range of relevant issues.
We earnestly hope that such provisions will equip your child with resilience and the ability to make well thought out and informed decisions. Furthermore, and most importantly, we hope this pastoral programme will contribute to your child being happy and content both inside the classroom and out.
Please see below an overview of the pastoral experience that your child will be offered during their time at Saintfield High School.


Free counselling every Wednesday at 355 Church Street.
Regular hours are 3:30-7:30 p.m. with the last registration at 6:15 p.m.
Walk-in counselling is no longer offered at FST's Sterling Road site.
We offer a FREE single-session counselling session with a trained counsellor or psychotherapist. The counselling session is usually about 50 minutes and is open to all persons 18 years of age and older, who live or work in the GTA. No appointment is necessary and no health card or identification is required. Clients are expected to complete a service agreement form and a questionnaire that enables staff to best meet your needs.
Service is offered on a first-come, first served basis and after two appointments returning clients might not be seen, depending upon capacity. We regret that we are not able to open sessions to children or provide child care. Ongoing counselling and therapy are not offered.
Some of the counselling team are able to offer services in other languages; please call (416) 595-0307 ext. 269 to inquire about the times when service is offered in languages other than English.
Registration begins at 3 p.m. and ends at 6:15; last appointment starts 6:30 p.m. Note that our capacity varies week to week.
Single-session counselling can provide you with the emotional support, feedback and ideas on how to make positive changes in your life. Each counselling session is treated like a distinct counselling session with no expectation that you come back for a subsequent session.
At the walk-in you may receive handouts specific to your particular concern (e.g. communication tips on dealing with conflict, working with your anger in a positive way, thought records to monitor thinking patterns). You may also receive referral information to other community supports and resources, websites, apps, books, articles or groups).
The FST single-session counselling service is appropriate for adult individuals, couples, family and friends of all genders and sexual orientations. This includes people of all cultures, races, religions and beliefs. People come to the walk-in wanting help with a variety of issues that may include but are not limited to: anxiety; depression; social isolation; interpersonal conflict; personal stress; trauma; relationship issues; parenting concerns; general emotional upset; internet addictions and other addictions; coping with abuse.
Will the walk-in staff provide 'Letters of Attendance'?
No, we do not provide any form of documentation or communication confirming that a person came to the walk-in.
May I request a certain counsellor?
Due to the nature of the walk-in service one can not request a particular counsellor. We cannot guarantee that you will see the same counsellor if you return to the walk-in. Walk-In single-session counselling is not the same as on-going counselling where you see the same counsellor on a regular basis.
Can walk-in single-session counselling really help?
There is a growing amount of research that shows that single-session counselling has a positive impact for many people because they get the help they want when they most need it. Walk-In counselling has been proven to decrease emotional distress in the short-term, and may have positive long-term impact as well.
Some people only need one or two counselling sessions to significantly improve their emotional well-being. Single-session counselling can help a person enhance their personal insight, access their healthy emotional resources and develop useful coping strategies. The single session can help people develop helpful coping skills which may assist in the wait for more long-term services. The counsellor works collaboratively with each person to co-create a plan for support. With very few accessible counselling resources in the City of Toronto, the walk-in counselling service is a valuable service for those who want the help now.
Who are the counsellors and what is their training?
All counsellors have a Master's degree in a counselling-related profession (e.g. Social Work, Psychology, Adult Education).
What will happen when I arrive at the walk-in?
Upon arriving at the walk-in a receptionist will give you some paperwork that includes a one-page client information form, a brief questionnaire and a service agreement. You will also be asked to read some information about your rights as a client and the FST privacy statement.
What is the walk-in questionnaire?
What concern brought you here today?
What would be important for us to know about the background of this concern?
What would be one thing that would make you feel that things will get better?
What things have you tried in coping with this concern?
What made you decide to seek counselling support now?
Have you ever had counselling support in the past?
How long will I need to wait before being seen?
Registration for the Walk-In begins at 3 p.m. for first and second time clients. Wait time is based on the volume of clients. Our last appointment starts at 6:30. Please be aware that due to capacity issues, it may not be possible to see all people who come to the walk-in on a given day.
Family Service Toronto is not able to provide child-care/child minding services during the walk-in. If you have young children who require supervision, please ensure that you make arrangements for their care before you come to the walk-in. Children are not allowed to attend counselling sessions with their parents/guardians due to the sensitive nature of the sessions that are held. This includes babies.
What if I don't want anyone to know that I was here?
Counselling at FST is strictly CONFIDENTIAL. The limitations to confidentiality include (1) If there is a safety or abuse concern about a minor (16 years old or under); (2) If client indicates that s/he may be an immediate physical threat to her/himself or another; (3) If the counsellor is subpoenaed by the court.
Can I return to the walk-in service for more than 2 sessions?
People who have had two walk-in consultations within one 12-month period can only register for the walk-in at 6:15 p.m. and will be offered the last time slot only if capacity allows.

Сюжет
2013 год, отряд «Призраков» участвует в специальной операции с целью захвата нескольких мексиканских военных, обвиненных в незаконной продаже оружия боевикам в Колумбию…

Тем временем в городе проходит саммит, на котором лидеры США, Канады и Мексики намерены подписать «Соглашение о совместном обеспечении безопасности в Северной Америке». Соглашение значительно расширяет возможности стран по контролю над нелегальной миграцией, борьбе с терроризмом, наркотрафиком и оборотом оружия. Но во время подписания договора, под прицелами десятков телекамер, участники встречи подверглись нападению со стороны мексиканских солдат. Премьер-министр Канады был убит. Власть в Мехико постепенно переходит в руки вооружённых повстанцев.

«Призраки» получают команду вместе с агентами «Секретной Службы» обеспечить безопасность президента США. Пока взятый под охрану кортеж движется к аэропорту, спецназ берет под охрану также президента Мексики. Последний, понимая, что мексиканское правительство не способно преодолеть кризис, обращается к Штатам с просьбой о помощи. Американская армия готовится к операции по восстановлению мира и порядка в соседней стране. Отряд «Призраков» снова идёт в первых рядах. У них особое задание — ведь президент США так и не добрался в тот раскалённый день до спасительного аэропорта…

India's Big Step Forward in Bid for UN Security Council
NEW DELHI: India's bid to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council has made big progress, with China forced to fall in line – for now, that is.
The nearly 200 member countries of the United Nations have agreed that over the next year, they will negotiate the wording of a document that will call for reforming the Security Council, the top decision-making body, which has 15 members. Of these, five, including China, Russia and the US, are permanent.
For the first time, different countries have submitted written suggestions for what the resolution should state. In what was seen as an attempt to thwart India's bid, the US, China and Russia did not participate in that exercise.
China has been strongly opposing the expansion of the Security Council; tonight, it reportedly wanted to force a vote on whether the UN should proceed with a one-year discussion on how the reform should be framed, but failed to muster enough support. If a vote had been called, India would have been forced to get other countries on board to support the extended negotiations.
While the US and Russia have verbally backed India's membership, neither has put that down in writing.The draft resolution calls for next year's UN agenda to discuss the "Question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council." Once the draft is agreed on, it will be put to vote at the General Assembly, where a two-thirds vote is needed to clear it.
Ahead of the UN's 70th anniversary in October, the PM has, on foreign trips and in bilaterals with the heads of other countries, strongly lobbied for support for a permanent seat on the Security Council for India.
