These Friends Invested Their Life Savings To Feed Their Community

The Four Percent
In 2013, Micheal Sparks founded The Underground Kitchen, a Richmond, Virginia-based "exclusive inclusive" dinner party series that traveled to 40 U.S. cities. In 2018, his friend Kate Houck joined as partner and COO. But when the pandemic hit, Sparks and Houck put the for-profit business on pause and in April formed the nonprofit branch The Underground Kitchen Community First, which provides healthy soups and bread, school lunches and family meals to the community in need.
Since the pandemic began, hunger and food security have dramatically increased in the U.S. Currently, Sparks and Houck provide more than 3,000 meals a week. But with their new centralized kitchen, soon they will be able to do 5,000 to 10,000 meals per week. In 2021, they'll expand their services to include an airstream that can serve educational and emergency purposes and distribute meals statewide — and continue with a downsized, COVID-safe version of The Underground Kitchen. In the latest story in our Voices in Food series, Houck and Sparks talked to Garin Pirnia about feeding the community with soup and love.
How did The Underground Kitchen and The Underground Kitchen Community First get started?
Sparks: My [partner] and I moved from New York [in 2009]. I was in fashion for many years — I was with Louis Vuitton. When we moved to Richmond, we didn't know anybody here. We did like every good New Yorker does and started throwing dinner parties. That's how The Underground Kitchen started. In the eight, nine, 10 years since it's been developed, it's always celebrated chefs of color and women who don't get to play in the big restaurants.
When COVID hit, we had just finished a big corporate event in Boston, at a super-spreader [event], where we caught COVID. The whole world started falling apart. In two weeks we lost millions of dollars worth of contracts [one in Turks and Caicos] and had to put everything on hold, including a TV production deal.
Houck: We literally sat on our couches for two weeks. And we'd start in the morning calling each other while drinking coffee, and when the sun went over the yard, we'd switched to wine, and after a few glasses we'd switch to vodka, and then we'd call each other up crying.
Sparks: I said to Kate: "Give me 24 hours. Let me think overnight." Kate was freaking out. We have our life savings in this. We have our blood, sweat and tears and our love — everything — is in this thing for us, emotionally. I called my mom, who was, is a single mother of five kids. I said, "Mom, this is the situation." She said, "Micheal, listen. Your [partner] is a doctor. Kate and you have good roots. You're not going to hurt as much as other people. You're going to be OK. Figure out a way to help people." I had this epiphany overnight. I don't know whether it was a dream or sitting up thinking. What do we do when people are sick? I said, start making soups. So I called Kate the next morning.
Houck: He was all bright and cheery. "What do you want? What are you so happy about?" He said: "I know what we're going to do. A lot of our chefs were being laid off or they were put on part-time stuff. We're going to call our crew and we're going to start making soups and bread, and we're going to start delivering it into the community." And we did. That first week we got 175 meals into the community, and by the end of September we had sent out over 60,000 meals into the community. We had put it out in the paper and said: "Anybody who has been laid off, or if you're sick, or if you're a frontline worker, or if you're pissed off about this thing and you want soup, let us know. We'll get it to you."
We were delivering to the projects and to the most expensive neighborhoods in town. I've lived here over 20 years and I'd never engaged with the people here like I did then. Micheal and I talked and I said, "This has to be a part of what we do going forward. We can't stop doing this now. When we can we'll still do the for-profit, but we have to keep feeding this community." In this time where everyone was going for comfort food, which isn't always the healthiest thing, it was emotionally comforting. There were a lot of people who we worked with who went to food pantries. But because of the stress on those food pantries, especially early in the pandemic, and some people work two, three jobs, by the time you're in between shifts you don't have time to throw a meal together out of what you got in your food box. We found that from the soup and bread we delivered, it filled them up and they were good to go.
What was it like going from throwing fancy seven-course dinner parties to serving your community?
Sparks: The soups we deliver to our folks are of the quality of The Underground Kitchen. There's nothing different than what we'd serve at one of our events. The quality of ingredients is the same organic, beautiful ingredients. We had to scale back a little bit because we found out a lot soups don't fit everybody's tastes. We got a little more basic with it. But we would not do this unless we could do it under the same pretenses we do The Underground Kitchen. Quite frankly, [our cost to make it] may be a little bit more for the quality that we do, but it's not much more than what a food pantry might put out — and it's not filled with chemicals.
Houck: We've been able to tailor what people get based on what their needs and likes are, and we got chefs for everyone. For example, we distribute to a couple nonprofits that support the Latino community in Richmond. Our executive chef Viviana Nunes is from Puerto Rico and Antigua. So, she'll put together some of her mother's recipes for them. When she sends out something that speaks to them, it's another bubble of comfort for people.
As a country, what are we going to do about the hunger crisis?
Sparks: There was food insecurity before COVID, but it brought us to attention because it's disproportionately affected the POC communities. We're in for the duration now. There's no way we can go back. We've been in talks with the Episcopal church and other organizations of what this looks like nationally in the long term and what can we do for other communities with the same program.
Houck: We really want to develop a way to help people think about healthy eating differently. We had feedback from people. One woman wrote and said: "I've never eaten so many vegetables in my life. My blood pressure is under control. My diabetes is under control. I've lost 25 pounds." Micheal and I said we should be eating our soups. If we can get people thinking that way, then there's an opportunity to get them thinking about cooking differently. Micheal and I grew up with parents and grandparents who cooked everything from scratch. We're circling around the idea of how to combine community urban farming and cooking from scratch and an on-a-budget idea and being able to form that into something to teach communities to be healthier.
Sparks: When we did the deliveries in the beginning, we gave them to everybody in the community, no matter how much money they [made]. We were driving our beautifully packaged meals to mansions. And it was just an older couple who was afraid to go out to get groceries and didn't know technology, so they didn't get Instacart. They were lost and hungry. It's not just a financial thing. It's an emotional toll and a mental toll that's taken our community. It's going to go deep.
What can people do in their own communities to help?
Houck: You can make an impact and it doesn't matter how much you have. The fact that people know that there's someone out there who gives a shit, for lack of a better term, makes a difference. One night, my daughter made cards to put into the bags for sending out meals. They were little hand-drawn cards that said, "Be well. Stay safe. We'll get through this together." Since then we've had volunteers who have made cards, and a card goes out with every meal that we send.
Sparks: [We give out the cards] to give a sense of community, to give a sense of love, that somebody is thinking about you. And it's all handwritten. All we've been through in the past 10 months and what we're going to see in these next 10 years, this whole process has really saved us as humans. It's made us better humans. It's a struggle, but waking up different from a for-profit business for the nonprofit has made a huge change in both of our lives.
Sparks: Caring about people. Doing something that immediately impacts people. It's almost like going from Louis Vuitton to Target and knowing that you're feeding the masses and not just a few of the rich.

5 Qualities the Best People in the macrosociology definition Industry Tend to Have
By editor k March 1, 2021
ShareShareTwitterPinterest
"Macrosociology" is the study of human behavior in a social context.
You can think of a social context as the interaction between a person and a group (or a number of groups) of people. That's not to be confused with a society (which is the study of a society's structure and rules of interaction). When studying a social context, you are looking at what goes on between two people within the confines of the social context.
Macrosociology is a field of study which deals with the behavior of humans within a social context. For example, a macro analysis of the behavior of a school student might look at what types of things do they do in school. A macro analysis of how a person behaves within a social context will look into what activities they engage in. Such activities could include such things as school activities, hobbies, or even extracurricular activities.
In other words, it's something you do with your friends, or at least something you do as a social activity. In this sense it's similar to the concept of a macro analysis of the behavior of a company.
Macro analyses, such as macro sociologists, use a set of questions to ask a group, and then analyze the answers as a whole to see how it compares to how other people in a similar situation behave. This is a type of social science that works particularly well with behavioral psychology (a field that studies the human mind).
Macro sociologists are an interesting academic discipline, but they're not exactly the kind of thing that you'd expect to read in a macro sociology paper. The macro sociologists who do these kinds of analyses are usually pretty well known in the academic community. They tend to be well known in the community because they're able to analyze a group of people using relatively simple questions that are usually asked in a social science classroom.
The Macro Sociology Field covers a wide variety of topics outside of sociology. Some of the topics include anthropology, linguistics, and even environmental science. The macro sociologists are used to answering questions such as, how are people different? To do this kind of analysis, a macro sociologist first asks people questions about their lives, and then they try to find answers from the people who answered those questions. This is what Macro Sociology is.
Macro Sociology isn't a new field, it's actually the name of a book published in the 1970s. It was used to refer to a broader range of research that dealt with questions about cultural differences, such as cultural differences in the social structure of society.
Macro sociologists don't really study what the field is called, they look at how people answer certain questions about their lives, and then they try to figure out what makes them different. They don't have a theory about how different people think, they just don't really know. They are more interested in the answers people give to certain questions than in the theory they use to explain their answers.
This reminds me of the difference between macro sociologists and sociologists in macro-sociology. To macro sociologists, sociologists, professors, are just people trying to understand the world, and they dont really care about the theory or the theory used by people in the field, because they only care about the answers people give to certain questions.

Q: How to handle multiple conditions for responseStatus I am making an API call that can result in a 200, 204, 404, or a 417. The only responseStatus that I cannot accept is a 417. The API is designed in a way where if it hits a 417, it keeps retrying until it gets a different status (200, 204, or a 404).
To fulfill this condition, I wrote up the following:
        When method GET
        And retry until match [200, 204, 404] contains responseStatus

However, when the API responds with a 417, the test just stops right there. It doesn't retry. Am I handling this incorrectly?
Please advise.

Q: Kendo UI List View not displaying data I Use a kendo UI list view. But even though I use a datasource, I don't see any data in the list view.
Can anybody help me out?
Here is my code,
Created a div #listView and a template .Then trying to bind data to the list view

And this is the template i use
Template created using Kendo UI

here i bind the datasource
This doesnt work although i bind the data.Is there any other way of binding data
var dataSource1 = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            dataType: "json",
            data: [
                { title: "Star Wars: A New Hope", year: 1977 },
                { title: "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", year: 1980}
            ]
        }
    }
});

$("#listView").kendoListView({
    dataSource: dataSource1,
    template: kendo.template($("#template").html())
});

A: Since you are binding your listview to local data, there is no need to call a transport... Just bind the data directly to the datasource :
var dataSource1 = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    data: [
        { title: "Star Wars: A New Hope", year: 1977 },
        { title: "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", year: 1980}
    ]
});

You can have a look to the demo page of a datasource here : http://demos.kendoui.com/web/datasource/index.html.
PS : by the way, the format "c", is for currency (see the documentation). Here you can call directly the year in your template : #:year#.

Hamad Airport receives BSI verification for Covid-19 safety protocols
Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Qatar has secured independent verification from British Standards Institution (BSI) for the implementation of Covid-19 ICAO Aviation Health Safety Protocols.
Hamad International Airport is said to be first airport in the world to be verified by British Standards Institution for its Covid-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol implementation. Credit: Arne Müseler.
BSI conducted verification after the successful audits for Compliance to International Civil Aviation Organisation Civil Aviation Recovery Taskforce (ICAO CART).
The verification was granted based on the guidelines implemented by HIA during the pandemic, including measures for transferring, departing, and arriving passengers.
BSI will continue to evaluate the airport to ensure compliance is maintained over time.
The airport received the verification certificate during an official handover ceremony attended by Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker, Qatar State ambassador Jon Wilks, Qatar Civil Aviation Authority president Abdulla bin Nasser Turki Al-Subaey and HIA chief operation officer Mohammed Al-Meer, among others.
Commenting on the achievement, Abdulla bin Nasser Turki Al-Subaey said: "Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority continuously works on improving and developing the country's aviation regulations to ensure that the latest health, safety, and security standards are implemented.
"This achievement confirms the key role played by the authority to ensure compliance with international standards, as well as the leading role of Hamad International Airport, one of the best airports in the world."
Mohammed Al-Meer added: "We always strive to provide consistently high-quality services for all our stakeholders. The verification reflects our capability in maintaining HIA's position as a leading airport in the world, in these unprecedented times.
"As the world is adjusting to the new normal, the international recognition we get from BSI is important to ensure HIA's operational capabilities at all times."
BSI Assurance Services Group executive director Pietro Foschi said: "We welcome and congratulate the leadership demonstrated by Hamad International Airport to be the first to achieve this verification.
"The challenges presented by Covid-19 to organisations, employees and consumers have had a huge impact and as we adjust to the 'next normal', organisations around the world are implementing new ways of working as part of a progressive recovery."
HIA is said to be first airport in the world to be certified by BSI for its Covid-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol implementation.
In July, the airport installed new security screening technology that can detect explosive materials in complex items and structures.

Discussion in 'SIR & XMRO Internet Radio' started by CraigW, Oct 14, 2008.
Can you set up the SIRIUS in house repeater system anywhere in your office area to get a signal? This is what I did.
Record, Record, Record. I still do this along with listeniing LIVE via the XM Delphi Repeater.
If there is a no-streaming part in your IT contract then it isn't a good idea to go around it. They can and will monitor the amount of bandwidth you are using. If you are using more than "average" then they will see why. If they see that you are streaming they can (probably will) fire you. I suggest you check into this before going around it. Yes, I have seen people fired from streaming audio. Another was fired for using youtube. This idiot was using 12% of the bandwidth in a day.
I suppose you could set up a secure connection using an anonymous proxy.
I would not recommend it, however, unless you are prepared to deal with the consequences of being caught. IT folks and management usually tend to frown upon you trying to circumvent their controls. Now is not a good time to be without a job.
Not sure that things are worded ini particular about streaming, but good point on getting in trouble. Looks like I'll be listening to recordings on my Stiletto from now on.
One thing about the Stiletto is that they won't be able to trace it back to you. They can trace it back to a certain access point but not to your Stiletto as they would need the MAC address for that. The only way for them to take it back to you is if you show them your Stiletto. If your company has wireless internet, that may be the way to go.
However, I am not advocating that you go around the controls.
If you're willing to take the chance, you could always try a 3rd party player like Stream_ON.
Doesn't Stream_ON ultimately point to the same source for programming as the Sirius interface? I would think that there is more to it than using another interface to get to the same underlying place...but I could be wrong here.
It is the site that is being blocked, not the streaming. Well, probably. You can also try the Yahoo Widget. I know that gets through every blocker I have come across. That is what I use when at a client's site.
You're pretty much right... a lot of the Sirius programs just use the Sirius website directly (automatic logging in and all of that), and if you use Stream_ON you'll likely get an error.
The way I did was really setting up my satellite radio at home to deliver sound (via Line-In) and stream it via Shoutcast. Sure it was stuck on one channel, but it circumvented the blocks at least for me.
If nothing else and at a last resort, record a 6-hour block on your Stiletto.
Connecting to the wireless is definitely a big no-no, probably worse than trying to circumvent the blocking. After some of the above comments and thought (hmmm, job market), I think recordings are my best bet. Thanks for the ideas though!
If you are caught? Yes. However, as I stated, they can't figure out it was you (assuming you have a anonymous login for wireless.
Again, I do not advocate circumventing the controls. I am a freelance 'network certifier' and part of that job is finding these holes in the "armor" so there is a bit of a conflict of interest here.
If you are caught? Yes. However, as I stated, they can't figure out it was you.
I'm for taking the safe route. While the IT guys have ways of tracking you down in many cases, you're correct that there are ways to circumvent the system, especially if you know a few things about your company's set up, and networking in general.
But guess what? When someone is breaking a rule, you are usually found out because of a fellow employee ratting you out. It is crazy, but it is the truth. There are lots of people with an axe to grind, or for whatever reason, feels that what you're doing is morally wrong. Or, it could even be another employee making innocent comment to someone such as as "hey...did you see the set up 'CraigW' has over there? He's listening to the radio at his desk!"
That is how the people got caught, that I know of, and were fired. A fellow employee heard, through the grapevine, that this person was watching youtube all day and he was fired. The catch: It was the president of the company. This company was bought out so he was no longer the president but he wasn't given walking papers yet. It was nice to see that they didn't play favors.


When buying a car, there's much more to consider than simply the price of the vehicle. No only do you need to take fuel and maintenance into account, you also have to think about the price of insurance.
As perhaps the biggest running cost, insurance is where many drivers do what they can to cut back on premiums. One of the best ways to start is by choosing a car in a low insurance group. Let's take a look at a selection of our favourite used cars with low insurance.
Before we dive into the makes and models themselves, it's worth discussing what makes a car low cost to insure. One of the key factors in determining premiums is the insurance group in which the vehicle sits. There are currently 50 groups, the lowest (one) containing the cheapest cars to ensure and the highest (50) containing the most expensive.
Cars in groups one to three are generally small and economical. They're typically good for urban driving, but can still often pack a punch on the motorway. The following vehicles are our favourite examples from these groups.
Our Group 1 cars are all smaller models that are best if you live in town.
As a quality small car with cheap running costs, the Hyundai i10 is a great option. The model with a 1.0 litre engine sits in Group 1, even if you go for the Premium trim level. You also benefit from Hyundai's five year warranty, so even if you're buying a three year old used model, you'll still get the two remaining years.
The Kia Rio is another versatile choice, being easy to drive, comfortable and well equipped. The 1.1 CRDi Rio 1 Air model is in Group 1 and owners have reported around 60mpg – you won't get much cheaper than this for a hatch of that size.
The Volkswagen Up doesn't disappoint when it comes to expectations of quality. It has VW's trademark build and a nice interior despite being fairly cheap to buy. Several of the 1.0 litre models are in Group 1including the Take Up and Move Up.
Our favourite Group 2 cars offer a little more space and more pull when it comes to engine power.
The Ford KA Studio, which is available with a 1.2 litre engine, offers good performance, respectable fuel economy and is in Group 2. It also sports Ford's fun, fluid styling, so it looks good as well as having enough power on faster roads.
Stylish and practical, the Vauxhall Corsa is another slightly more spacious option, and its 1.2 litre engine version is in Group 2. There's plenty of kit included as standard and it offers a comfortable ride.
If you like the sound of the Kia Rio, but need a little more space, the Kia Picanto 1 Air and SE models sit comfortably in Group 2. They're neatly designed, reliable, and come with an impressive seven year warranty, so used car buyers will benefit from this.
For all round performance, handling and quality, few cars match the Ford Fiesta. It's the UKs most popular vehicle and with good reason – not only is it spacious, fun to drive and well equipped, its Studio model with a 1.25 litre petrol engine is in Group 3.
Craving a little identity doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay more in insurance. The Vauxhall Adam is great for those who want their car to look a bit different but retain lower running costs. The 1.2 litre petrol model is in Group 3, and even buying pre-owned can still give you a unique car.
First time buyers in particular will need to be aware of insurance costs. Statistics show that drivers under the age of 25 are more likely to be involved in accidents, so premiums are calculated to reflect this. Young or new drivers also haven't built up a no claims bonus, the discount that applies when a driver goes a year or more without making a claim.
It is, however, possible to find cars that will be cheaper to insure even if you're buying for the first time. One of the cheapest second hand cars to insure, the Dacia Sandero, may not have the coolest image, but it is the UK's most affordable car. A Group 1 or 2 car depending on which trim you choose, it's practical with a big boot and five doors. The 1.2 litre engine of the entry level model isn't the fastest on the block, but that could provide some peace of mind for parents buying for a teenager.
The funkier looks of the Kia Picanto make it a more appealing choice, and the seven year warranty means that buyers of used models will benefit from it. As used cars with low insurance go, it has a lot to offer with good fuel economy and a decent amount of kit which includes USB connectivity and automatic headlights.
Several of the Skoda Citigo models sit in Group 1 for insurance. It's a flexible, compact car that's suited to driving in town and parking in tighter spaces, but can stay composed on the motorway. There's a generous amount of space and CO2 emissions are low, so you can expect affordable road tax.
With our range of used low insurance group cars available, Carwise Group can help you find the perfect model, whether you are downsizing or choosing your first vehicle. Contact one of our dealerships in MaidstoneandHarlow for more information or to book a test drive.

IT'S that time again... the new SPL season is about to start and you can put your Dons knowledge and predicting skills to the test!
Beat the Manager is Aberdeen-Mad's official prediction game - where you pit your wits against the Dons-Mad community... and the whole FootyMad network!
Just use your messageboard registration to log in and guess the next three Dons results. Simples!
You are awarded points depending on the accuracy of your score. If you predict the score correctly you are awarded a 'win', and will receive 16 points. Guessing the correct result gives you a 'draw' worth 5 points. Predict the wrong result, however, and you get no points (a 'loss'). There is a chance to win bonus points: if you correctly guess either team's number of goals it's 2 points, and you are rewarded with 5 if you correctly predict a game will end in a draw.
However, be warned that persistent repeated identical scorelines will see points deducted from your overall score. For each consecutive identical scoreline entered in excess of three, you will be deducted three points from your total, i.e. entering five 1-1 scorelines in a row will see six points taken from your score, regardless of their point scoring success or failure.
Don't forget to visit the Beat the Manager every week to predict the next game's score and check your league position!

New insights and challenges in microscopic colitis

Furthermore, some patients with a microscopic inflammation in their colonic mucosa have no symptoms, or are suffering from constipation or abdominal pain, rather than diarrhea. Recently, a discussion was initiated calling into question the overdiagnosing of symptoms and pointing out the danger of exacerbating people's perception of their ailments, of weakening their eligibility in health insurance, of overprescription of drugs, and thus the increasing cost to the society of health care. In the light of this discussion, this review will highlight histopathological and clinical features of MC, and discuss the diagnosis and management of this disease. Perhaps, the intestinal mucosa has no other mode by which to react than an inflammatory response, irrespective of the presence or absence of autoimmunity. Thus, to better identify and classify subgroups of MC, and to clarify and correctly handle the inflammatory changes, this field of research stands to benefit from a review of the results and experience gained to date.

Crucea Sudului este cea mai mică din cele 88 de constelații moderne, dar este și una dintre cele mai ușor de remarcat. Este ușor vizibilă în emisfera sudică tot anul, deși este vizibilă în emisfera nordică aproape de orizont la latitudini tropicale, pentru câteva ore în fiecare noapte, în lunile de primăvară.

Crucea Sudului este marginită de constelațiile Centaurus, care o înconjoară în 3 părți, precum și Musca.

Localizare

Crucea Sudului nu este situată opus față de Ursa Mare. De fapt, în regiunile tropicale, atât Crucea Sudului (sud), cât și Ursa Mare (nord), pot fi văzute alături pe cer din aprilie până în iunie. Crucea Sudului este însă situată exact opus față de Cassiopeia pe sfera cereasca, și nu poate fi pe cer alaturi de aceasta în același timp. La sud de latitudinea de 34 ° S, Crucea este circumpolară și, astfel, mereu vizibilă pe cerul de noapte.

Crucea Sudului este uneori confundată cu Crucea falsă. Crucea Sudului are o formă de zmeu, și mai are o a cincea stea (ε Crucis). Crucea falsă este in forma de diamant, are doar patru stele și nu are cele două stele proeminente prezente la Crucea Sudului.

Stele principale

Acrux

Acrux (alfa Crucis) este cea mai strălucitoare stea din constelație. Cu o magnitudine aparentă de 0,77, este pe locul 22 pe lista celor mai luminoase stele.

Acrux este o stea binară, compusă din două supergigante fierbinți albastre, α1 Cru (magnitudinea 1,4) și α2 Cru (magnitudine 1,9). La o distanță de 320 ani-lumină de noi, ele sunt 25.000 și 16.000 de ori mai luminoase decât Soarele și au o perioadă de revoluție de 1.500 de ani, fiind situate la o distanță de 420 UA una față de cealaltă.

α1 Cru este si ea stea dublă, dar cele două sunt nu pot fi distinse la telescop. Se știe doar că acestea au o perioadă de revoluție de 76 de zile, fiind o distanță între ele de mai puțin de 1 UA.

Mimosa

Mimosa (beta Crucis), cu magnitudinea de 1,25, este o gigantă albastră. Este, de asemenea, o stea variabilă de tip Beta Cephei, cu o magnitudine care variază între 1,23 și 1,31.

Mimosa este o stea dublă. Cele două stele au o perioadă de revoluție de 5 ani, dar nu pot fi distinse la telescop.

Gacrux

Gacrux (gamma Crucis), magnitudine 1,59, este o gigantă roșie, de 113 de ori mai mare decât Soarele, a XXIV-a cea mai strălucitoare stea de pe cer.

Alte stele
delta Crucis (magnitudinea 2,79) și eta Crucis (magnitudinea 3,59) sunt alte două stele mai strălucitoare ale acestei constelații.

Chain and Solvent Dynamics in Polymer Membrane Films Supported on a Polymeric Substrate
Rafikul Islam, Sriramvignesh Mani, Rajesh Khare
Polymeric membranes used for separation applications typically consist of thin films of cross-linked gels supported on a substrate that is often polymeric. The separation efficiency of such membranes is governed by the dynamics of the membrane polymer and solvent molecules, which in turn is affected by the polymer-solvent and polymer-substrate interactions. In this work, we have used atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to determine the effects of a polysulfone (PSF) support on the volumetric properties and chain dynamics in thin films of a model membrane material, namely, polyacrylate. The effects of the support polymer on the dynamics of water and ethanol molecules in these polyacrylate networks are also investigated. Three polyacrylate networks that are composed of homopolymers and a 50-50 random copolymer of n-butyl acrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate were studied. The results show that the volumetric and dynamic properties of bulk regions of the polyacrylate layer show a very similar behavior to that of their respective unsupported systems. However, at the interface, the dynamics of each layer is affected by the other. The interfacial dynamics of polyacrylate networks is suppressed compared to their bulk regions, while the dynamics of PSF at the interface is enhanced compared to that of its bulk region. The dynamics of water and ethanol molecules in the bulk and interfacial regions of the polyacrylate layers follows the same trend as the dynamics of the polyacrylate networks in the corresponding regions. Our results indicate that polymeric supports affect chain dynamics in the interfacial regions of the supported films; these changes, in turn, affect the penetrant transport through the films, thus having direct implications on the separation characteristics of the supported polymeric membrane systems.

League of Nations Failures
Citation: C N Trueman "League of Nations Failures"
While the League of Nations could celebrate its successes, the League had every reason to examine its failures and where it went wrong. These failures, especially in the 1930's, cruelly exposed the weaknesses of the League of Nations and played a part in the outbreak of World War Two in1939. During the 1920's the failures of the League of Nations were essentially small-scale and did not threaten world peace. However they did set a marker – that the League of Nations could not solve problems if the protagonists did not 'play the game'.
Article 11 of the League's Covenant stated: "Any war or threat of war is a matter of concern to the whole League and the League shall take action that may safeguard peace."
Therefore, any conflict between nations, which ended in war and the victory of one state over another, had to be viewed as a failure by the League.
The first crisis the League had to face was in north Italy In 1919, Italian nationalists, angered that the "Big Three" had, in their opinion, broken promises to Italy at the Treaty of Versailles, captured the small port of Fiume. The Treaty of Versailles had given this port to Yugoslavia. For 15 months, an Italian nationalist called d'Annunzio governed Fiume. The newly created League did nothing. The situation was solved by the Italian government who could not accept that d'Annunzio was seemingly more popular than they were – so they bombarded the port of Fiume and enforced a surrender. In all this the League played no part despite the fact that it had just been set up with the specific task of maintaining peace.
The next crisis the League faced was at Teschen, which was a small town between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Its main importance was that it had valuable coalmines there, which both the Poles and the Czechs wanted. As both were newly created nations, both wanted to make their respective economies as strong as possible and the acquisition of rich coal mines would certainly help in this respect.
In January 1919, Polish and Czech troops fought in the streets of Teschen. Many died. The League was called on to help and decided that the bulk of the town should go to Poland while Czechoslovakia should have one of Teschen's suburbs. This suburb contained the most valuable coalmines and the Poles refused to accept this decision. Though no more wholesale violence took place, the two countries continued to argue over the issue for the next twenty years.
Many years before 1920, Vilna had been taken over by Russia. Historically, Vilna had been the capital of Lithuania when the state had existed in the Middle Ages. After World War One, Lithuania had been re-established and Vilna seemed the natural choice for its capital.
However, by 1920, 30% of the population was from Poland with Lithuanians only making up 2% of the city's population. In 1920, the Poles seized Vilna. Lithuania asked for League help but the Poles could not be persuaded to leave the city. Vilna stayed in Polish hands until the outbreak of World War Two. The use of force by the Poles had won.
In 1920, Poland invaded land held by the Russians. The Poles quickly overwhelmed the Russian army and made a swift advance into Russia. By 1921, the Russians had no choice but to sign the Treaty of Riga, which handed over to Poland nearly 80,000 square kilometres of Russian land. This one treaty all but doubled the size of Poland.
What did the League do about this violation of another country by Poland?
The answer is simple – nothing. Russia by 1919 was communist and this "plague from the East" was greatly feared by the West. In fact, Britain, France and America sent troops to attack Russia after the League had been set up. Winston Churchill, the British War Minister, stated openly that the plan was to strangle Communist Russia at birth. Once again, to outsiders, it seemed as if League members were selecting which countries were acceptable and ones that were not. The Allied invasion of Russia was a failure and it only served to make Communist Russia even more antagonistic to the West.
The Treaty of Versailles had ordered Weimar Germany to pay reparations for war damages. These could either be paid in money or in kind (goods to the value of a set amount). In 1922, the Germans failed to pay an instalment. They claimed that they simply could not rather than did not want to. The Allies refused to accept this and the anti-German feeling at this time was still strong. Both France and Belgium believed that some form of strong action was needed to 'teach Germany a lesson'.
In 1923, contrary to League rules, French and Belgian troops invaded the Ruhr – Germany's most important industrial zone. Within Europe, France was seen as a senior League member – like Britain – and the anti-German feeling that was felt throughout Europe allowed both France and Belgium to break their own rules as were introduced by the League. Here were two League members clearly breaking League rules and nothing was done about it.
For the League to enforce its will, it needed the support of its major backers in Europe, Britain and France. Yet France was one of the invaders and Britain was a major supporter of her. To other nations, it seemed that if you wanted to break League rules, you could. Few countries criticised what France and Belgium did. But the example they set for others in future years was obvious. The League clearly failed on this occasion, primarily because it was seen to be involved in breaking its own rules.
The border between Italy and Albania was far from clear and the Treaty of Versailles had never really addressed this issue. It was a constant source of irritation between both nations.
In 1923, a mixed nationality survey team was sent out to settle the issue. Whilst travelling to the disputed area, the Italian section of the survey team became separated from the main party. The five Italians were shot by gunmen who had been in hiding.
Italy accused Greece of planning the whole incident and demanded payment of a large fine. Greece refused to pay up. In response, the Italians sent its navy to the Greek island of Corfu and bombarded the coastline. Greece appealed to the League for help but Italy, led by Benito Mussolini, persuaded the League via the Conference of Ambassadors, to fine Greece 50 million lire.
To follow up this success, Mussolini invited the Yugoslavian government to discuss ownership of Fiume. The Treaty of Versailles had given Fiume to Yugoslavia but with the evidence of a bombarded Corfu, the Yugoslavs handed over the port to Italy with little problem.
All of these failures were secondary to the two major ones in the 1930's. What they did show the world was that the League could not enforce a settlement if it did not have the ability to do so and dictators were keen to exploit this where they could. Prior to the troubles experienced in Western Europe in the 1930's, the League had to deal with two major problems and it fell down on both – Manchuria and Abyssinia.

Q: Access system variable (Environment Variable) while building Angular 2 application I need to build my Angular application using one system variable.
System Variable
server_url = http://google.com

My Environment.ts file look like
export const environment = {
  production: false,
  serveUrl: 'http://someurl.com',
  mleServerUrl: 'http://someurl2.com',
  botServerUrl: 'http://someurl2.com',
  DEBUG_LOG: true,
  azureAD: true,
  mleEnvironment: 'dev',
  multtenant: true,
  e2eTest: false
};

I need to replace serveUrl value with http://google.com while executing ng build command.

A: You need a environment.prod.ts (in the same folder as environment.ts) with
export const environment = {
  production: true,
  serveUrl: 'http://google.com',
};

then you have to do a ng build --prod
See https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/build

A: If you want to use system environment variables instead of the standard angular approach here are a few options:

*

*Create a env service that is available through your Angular app; leverages a env.js file which can be modified at deploy time.  https://www.jvandemo.com/how-to-use-environment-variables-to-configure-your-angular-application-without-a-rebuild/

*Modify your webpack process with a custom angular build which allows you to read system environment variables at build time https://blog.usejournal.com/system-environment-variables-in-angular-1f4a922c7b4c

The Peyk-i Şevket class was a pair of torpedo cruisers built for the Ottoman Navy by the German shipyard Germaniawerft in 1906–07. The class comprised two ships:  and . They were ordered as part of a program to modernize the Ottoman fleet at the turn of the century. The ships were small vessels, at only ; they were nevertheless heavily armed for their size, with three torpedo tubes and a pair of  guns along with several smaller weapons.

Neither ship saw action during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–12, as Peyk-i Şevket had been interned in Suez and Berk-i Satvet spent the war confined to the Sea of Marmara with the main Ottoman fleet. Both ships took a more active role in the Balkan Wars, frequently providing gunfire to support to Ottoman troops in East Thrace. During World War I, both ships served in the Black Sea, where they conducted patrols, escorted convoys, and attacked Russian ports. In January 1915, Berk-i Satvet was mined off the Bosporus, and seven months later, Peyk-i Şevket was torpedoed by the British submarine  in the Sea of Marmara. Both ships were repaired and returned to service by 1918.

After the end of the war, both ships were kept in service with the new Turkish Navy, with lengthy overhauls in the mid-1920s. Both ships were extensively modernized in the late 1930s, and they remained in service to 1944, when they were finally decommissioned. Both vessels were ultimately broken up in the early 1950s.

Design

The Peyk-i Şevket class was classified as a torpedo cruiser by the Ottoman Navy, but was also sometimes referred to as a torpedo gunboat. The two ships were authorized in 1903, and were ordered from the Krupp-owned Germaniawerft shipyard in Germany, as part of a deal to modernize the elderly ironclad . The two cruisers were part of a naval reconstruction program that began in the late 1890s, following the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, in which the Ottoman fleet had been unable to play an active role.

Characteristics
The ships were  long, with a beam of  and a draft of . They displaced  while on sea trials. By 1938, their displacement had increased to . The ships were fitted with two pole masts, the foremast just aft of the conning tower and the main mast further aft. The forecastle deck extended to the base of the forward funnel, and the quarterdeck was stepped down aft of the mainmast. They were steel-hulled ships and carried no armor protection. Their crew numbered 125 officers and enlisted men as completed, and it had risen to 145 by 1915.

The ships were powered by a pair of vertical triple-expansion engines each driving a screw propeller. Their four coal-fired Schulz water-tube boilers, manufactured by Germaniawerft, were trunked into two funnels. The engines were rated at  for a top speed of , though on trials they reached . By 1915, poor maintenance and heavy use had reduced their speed to . The Peyk-i Şevket-class ships had storage capacity for  of coal, which provided a cruising radius of .

The two Peyk-i Şevket-class cruisers' primary offensive armament was their three  torpedo tubes. One was mounted in the bow, above water, and the other two were in deck-mounted swivel launchers amidships. They were armed with a pair of  quick-firing 40-caliber guns that were placed in shielded single mounts on the forecastle and quarterdeck. They also carried six  40-caliber guns, four of which were mounted in sponsons, a pair of  guns, and two machine guns.

Modifications
Both ships were rebuilt in the late 1930s and incorporated substantial improvements. Both stem and stern were rebuilt, with a new raked bow. Their superstructure was also reconstructed. The old gun armament was replaced with a pair of  45-caliber guns and four 37 mm 40-caliber guns, and Berk-i Satvet received equipment to handle 25 naval mines.

Ships

Service history

Both ships saw extensive service with the Ottoman fleet over the course of the decade following their arrival in November 1907. They took part in the first fleet maneuver conducted by the fleet in over twenty years in 1909. Neither ship saw action during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912, as Peyk-i Şevket had been interned at British-controlled Suez at the outbreak of war, and Berk-i Satvet was stationed with the reserve fleet in the Sea of Marmara, which did not risk confrontation with the significantly stronger Italian fleet. Both ships saw combat during the First Balkan War in 1913, primarily in supporting Ottoman forces ashore in East Thrace. The ships provided gunfire support to the Ottoman army holding the Çatalca line in defense of the capital at Constantinople. Berk-i Satvet also took part in two brief skirmishes with the Greek Navy.

The Ottoman Empire joined World War I in November 1914; Peyk-i Şevket and Berk-i Satvet primarily operated in the Black Sea against the Russian Black Sea Fleet. They frequently patrolled the Ottoman coast, particularly off the Bosporus, and escorted convoys to western Anatolia. On one of these convoy operations in January 1915, Berk-i Satvet struck a mine that wrecked her stern. She was towed back to Constantinople and repaired, returning to service in 1918. Peyk-i Şevket returned to the Sea of Marmara during the Dardanelles Campaign in 1915, where she carried munitions to the defending Ottoman forces. On 6 August, she was torpedoed by the British submarine  and was badly damaged, with repairs lasting until 1917. Both ships were used as convoy escorts in the Black Sea in the final year of the war.

The Treaty of Sèvres that ended the war assigned one of the vessels to Portugal as war reparations, but the subsequent Turkish War of Independence nullified that agreement and ended with the Treaty of Lausanne in 1924, which allowed the new Turkish republic to retain its fleet. The two cruisers were retained by the new Turkish Navy and their names were shortened to Peyk and Berk. Lengthy overhauls followed, in 1924–1925 for Berk and 1927–1929 for Peyk. They were modernized a decade later, in 1936–1938 for Peyk and 1937–1939 for Berk. The ships remained in service until 1944, when they were stricken from the naval register and laid up at the Gölcük Naval Shipyard before being scrapped after 1953.

Q: Jquery $.when not waiting for promises to resolve, reject I have a dynamic array of API calls that need to go out.  However, jQuery's $.when does not appear to be waiting for promises to resolve or be rejected, or I'm not understanding how to use promises correctly.
Code
function addEntry(data) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    _customAPIClass_.post('some/url/path', data)
      .done(function(){
        console.log('resolving');
        resolve(1000)
      })
      .catch(function(){
        console.log('rejecting');
        reject(2000);
      })
  });
}

let deferreds = [];

$.each(form.find(el), function(i, element) {
  let data = {
    id: $(element).find('.id').val(),
    name: $(element).find('.name').val()
  }
  deferreds.push(addEntry(data));
}

if (deferreds.length) {
  $.when.apply(deferreds).then(function(data){
    console.log('All done', data)
  }, function(err){
    console.log('error', err);
  });
}

Console output
Two api calls rejecting promise after .then() executes

So, what I don't understand, and what other questions here on Stack Overflow or on the jQuery docs aren't helping me solve, is why is the .then() acting like everything is OK before the API calls have completed and resolved or rejected their promises? How do I handle resolves or rejects after all API calls have been made, or am I misunderstand the purpose of the .when() and promises?

A: Change:
$.when.apply(deferreds)
to:
$.when.apply($, deferreds)
As described here: https://medium.com/sungthecoder/making-multiple-ajax-calls-and-deciphering-when-apply-array-b35d1b4b1f50 and as mentioned in Kevin B's comment:
"When we call $.when() function, 'this' keyword inside the function is implicitly bind to jQuery object. But when we call $.when.apply(), we have to explicitly bind 'this' keyword to something. And we know that the binding has to be with jQuery object, so we pass jQuery object, a.k.a., $ as the first argument."


Founded in 2007 by Steve Rosenthal, Mary Beth Cahill, and Michael Whouley, the Atlas Project (AP) describes itself as a private consulting firm "committed to the success of the progressive movement." In an effort to help leftist political candidates win their respective elections, AP "conducts in-depth analysis of collected and preserved campaign-related information in key states" to enable its clients – mostly Democrats – to "make better informed data-driven decisions." AP works in partnership with the National Committee for an Effective Congress (NCEC), which furnishes the Atlas staff with much of the information upon which its analyses and recommendations are based.
Atlas Project clients include not only individual candidates for political office, but also some of the most prominent and powerful leftist organizations in the United States. Through their get-out-the-vote drives and fundraising campaigns on behalf of selected candidates, these groups exert a profound influence on the American political process. Among these AP clients are the American Association for Justice, AFSCME, the AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Teachers, America Votes, the Democratic Governors Association, the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, EMILY's List, Fund for America, the Laborers International Union of North America, the National Education Association, and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Other noteworthy organizations that have contributed money to AP in recent years are: America Coming Together, the John Kerry Presidential Campaign, the Laborers' International Union of North America, Project New West, the Sheet Metal Workers Union, The Media Fund, and Unity '09.
AP founder Steve Rosenthal was formerly the Political Director of the AFL-CIO and a co-founder of America Coming Together. A co-founder of the Atalas Project, Michael Whouley, is a Democratic Party political consultant who specializes in get-out-the-vote operations. He is also President of the Dewey Square Group, a consulting firm that provides lobbying and campaign-strategy services for both political and corporate clients. In 1992 Whouley served as field director for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. He went on to become a key strategist for Al Gore's and John Kerry's presidential bids in 2000 and 2004, respectively. In 2007 Whouley worked for Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in Iowa, and in 2008 he ran Mrs. Clinton's New Hampshire operation.
AP's other co-founder, Mary Beth Cahill, formerly worked for EMILY's List and was an Assistant to the President in the Bill Clinton administration. In 2004 she served as Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign director.
Political coorinator Joe Figueiredo worked for the 2008 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

One of the most read articles on our web site is "Bad Boss: Learn How to Manage Your Manager". Upward leadership is a crucial and often underdeveloped skill. Many people give far too much power and control to their boss. If they've won the "boss lottery" and report to a great leader, work life is good. If the boss is a mediocre or weak leader, work life can be tolerable. And if they've drawn the short straw and have a boss from hell, work life can be miserable.
We've long defined leadership as an action, not a position. Strong leaders influence, connect, change, and deliver results regardless of — sometimes in spite of — their formal role or position. That's especially important in influencing upward to the boss and even further up the organization.
Tailor Your Pitch — connect your message to his or her organizational goals, values, and knowledge.
Frame the Issue — package and position your idea within the organization's larger strategy such as customer responsiveness.
Manage Emotions on Both Sides — appropriately balance passion or anger/frustration to rouse motivation for action.
Get the Timing Right — "catch the wave" when priorities shift, key players change, or more people are paying attention to a larger topic or trend.
Involve Others — build coalitions, mobilize allies, and partner with people who have critical relationships with those you're trying to influence.
Adhere to Norms — know what kind of data leaders like to use, how they prefer to receive information, or the best combination/sequence of informal and formal approaches.
Suggest Solutions — if a solution isn't obvious suggest a process for analyzing and discovering one.
This research and approaches align with our Influence Index. Influencing in all directions is a vital leadership skill regardless of position or role.

India emerges as the second largest insurance technology market in Asia Pacific, report says
Written by Moulishree Srivastava Published on 19 May 2021 • 2 mins read
VCs have invested USD 1.2 billion in the Indian insurtech firm so far, as per S&P Global.
A new report by S&P Global Market Intelligence said Indian insurance technology startups have attracted USD 1.28 billion, or 35% of the total venture capital poured into the insurtech sector in the Asia Pacific region so far.
The report, quoted by local wire service Press Trust of India (PTI), has pegged India as the second-largest insurance technology market after China.
Out of 335 private insurtech firms in the APAC region, 122 companies have disclosed their fundraise, amounting to a total of USD 3.66 billion. Nearly half of them are headquartered in India and China, and have collectively attracted about 78% of the total investment. S&P Global expects the two markets will continue to command the lion's share of investor interest on the back of their large and fast-growing insurance markets, the report added.
India, which boasts of being the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, has at least 66 insurtech startups, of which two are unicorns—companies with a valuation of at least USD 1 billion. Earlier this year, Digit Insurance raised USD 84 million at a valuation of USD 1.9 billion. SoftBank- and Tencent-backed PolicyBazaar, India's first unicorn in this sector, is looking at a public listing this year. According to news reports, Amazon-backed digital insurance company Acko could be the next insurtech unicorn, as it looks to raise USD 200 million.

Just before the onset of the second wave of novel coronavirus in March, insurtech platform Turtlemint closed a USD 46 million Series D round from Jungle Ventures, while Riskcovry raised USD 5 million in Series A round from Omidyar Network India.
"Insurance technology investors are attracted to India since it is one of the fastest-growing insurance markets in the world," the report said.
Insurance premiums in India summed up to USD 107 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, 2020, after growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% between FY15 and FY20, Sampath Sharma Nariyanuri, a fintech analyst with S&P Global Market Intelligence, told PTI.
S&P Global expects big tech giants like Tencent, Ant Group, Amazon, and Grab to influence the insurtech ecosystem in the APAC region as they play the roles of investors, partners, and competitors.
"While big techs are vying to become digital intermediaries in the insurance space, established carriers are building proprietary digital channels. Startups that assist both incumbents and big techs in making this transition, will likely emerge as winners," the report said.
