Officials in Howard County, Maryland, recently unveiled the new Ellicott City Safe and Sound Plan – a multi-phase plan to increase public safety, prepare the county for changing future conditions, and support business and property owners through an inclusive, community-driven process.
Ellicott City has a history of catastrophic flooding events that have devastated residents and business owners in the community, with two floods occurring as recent as 2016 and 2018. In response to these large-scale floods, the city kickstarted a series of flood mitigation projects to begin the process of alleviating its flood risks and vulnerabilities. The Safe and Sound plan website highlights these projects in an interactive map depicting current and future flood mitigation projects and lists a description and status of each project.
Some additional highlights of the Safe and Sound Plan include exploring opportunities for Lower Main Street, which is viewed as the most vulnerable and flood-prone area of the community. Community residents and officials are striving for solutions that do not require full scale demolition of buildings, in an effort to preserve the historic charm that characterizes Ellicott City. The plan aims to create a flood mitigation assistance pilot program to offer matching grants for flood mitigation projects for designated areas and structures in the community.
The Safe and Sound Plan also identified nine waterways in the community that will be subject to enhanced inspection and debris removal as a preventative measure. A recent weather event in Ellicott City prompted local officials to activate this component of the public safety and mitigation plan. Taking these preventative measures was a small success that contributed to the community's continued implementation of phase one of the Safe and Sound Plan. Local officials will soon begin planning to roll out the remaining three phases to make Ellicott City a safer and more resilient community for all.
FEMA Region III's Floodplain Specialist, Betsy Ranson, recently built a valuable new relationship when she presented at a meeting of the Home Builders Association of West Virginia – Northern Panhandle Division. In an area known for frequent floods, the Home Builders Association is leading a campaign to encourage potential property buyers to research local codes and ordinances before making a purchase. Betsy co-presented with Tim Keaton, Assistant State NFIP Coordinator, at a roundtable event attended by over 40 people.
The event was so successful in building relationships that the Ohio County Planning Office and the State of West Virginia may potentially partner on a follow-up event in September 2019 to broaden outreach to the Home Builders Association, contractors, engineers, insurance agents, real estate agents, and lenders. This follow-up event will reflect on the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Ivan and educate home buyers about ways to avoid the challenges residents experienced during that event and other damaging floods in the State. Having the support of homebuilders in West Virginia is critical in improving flood preparedness in the State. FEMA looks forward to continuing to engage with these partners to educate the public about flood risk. Stay tuned for updates about the potential follow-up event in September.
Pennsylvania is the second largest producer of dry natural gas (behind Texas) and is the only major gas-producing State in the country that does not impose a severance tax, leaving billions of dollars on the table in taxes that could be imposed for acquiring natural resources once they are extracted.
In January 2019, Governor Tom Wolf introduced legislation outlining a major infrastructure initiative, Restore Pennsylvania, that would be funded by the monetization of a common sense severance tax. The severance tax would be paid by oil companies based on the amount of gas produced per well that is drilled. Restore Pennsylvania will invest $4.5 billion over the next four years in significant, high-impact projects throughout the Commonwealth and will identify these projects based on local input and need.
Through Restore Pennsylvania, Governor Wolf's vision of supporting vibrant, interconnected, and modern towns and cities will be achieved by focusing on five priority areas. Three of these five focus areas are directly related to hazard mitigation planning and resiliency. Restore Pennsylvania will provide funding for flood prevention to protect against severe weather and reduce risk to homes and businesses in flood-prone areas. It will also provide funding to upgrade flood walls and levees, replace high-hazard dams, and conduct stream restoration and maintenance activities. After a disaster, Restore Pennsylvania will help families rebuild by establishing a disaster relief trust fund to provide additional funding to assist individuals who suffer losses. Improving stormwater infrastructure is a critical component to reducing water pollution and helping mitigate flood risk. Restore Pennsylvania will provide grants to municipalities moving forward with Pollutant Reduction Plans to help them implement creative solutions to comply with their stormwater mandates, reduce the impacts of flash flooding, and transform their communities.
Furthermore, Governor Wolf's proposed plan will increase resources to address blight by providing financial resources at the local level to establish land banks and acquire and demolish blighted buildings in order to create new development opportunities or provide new green space. This initiative will ensure the continuation of Pennsylvania's Brownfields program, returning more sites to recreational and open uses. Restore Pennsylvania will provide significant new funding to enable environmental projects and recreational opportunities across the State, including infrastructure and maintenance in State parks, creation and revitalization of local parks, and funding for trail projects. FEMA is excited to see projects arise from this initiative to help communities increase their resilience.
May 15, 2019 from 11AM EDT - 12PM EDT
If flooding is the #1 natural hazard profiled in local Hazard Mitigation Plans – then why aren't local floodplain administrators more engaged in the development of these plans? We will explore on our next Coffee Break webinar how to utilize their knowledge to inform risk identification, using Risk MAP products for public outreach, and how to identify better flood mitigation activities that will help create more resilient communities.

From March 3 to 5, the Virginia Lakes and Watersheds Association hosted the 2019 Virginia Water Conference in Richmond. The event was strongly attended by representatives from Federal, State, and local agencies, as well as universities, consultants, and non-profits.
Sessions and panel discussions covered diverse topics such as flood resilience, dam safety, floodplain management, green infrastructure, hydraulic modeling, and more. Below are a few highlights from the event with links to additional information:
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay described how the RiverWise Schools Program helped Richmond Public Schools combine hands-on watershed education with the installation of stormwater management practices at local schools
The policy implications were discussed of how Virginia voters approved an amendment to the State Constitution to enable communities to provide partial real estate tax exemptions for recurrently flooded properties that have undertaken flood resiliency or mitigation measures.
A presentation highlighted how the Philadelphia Water Department engages communities and neighborhoods when implementing green stormwater infrastructure projects that meet stormwater goals, improve outdoor recreation and educational spaces, and enhance quality of life for residents.
The District Department of Transportation's (DDOT) Flood Emergency Response Plan was highlighted for how it uniquely integrates flood inundation mapping, transportation management planning, and emergency response planning, which is a model that could be followed by other transportation agencies.
FEMA Region III presented on topics such as recent updates to the NFIP and the status of flood study updates and Flood Risk Products in Virginia.
The Virginia Water Conference was full of other exciting presentations, and FEMA Region III looks forward to the event next year. To view the agenda and a list of all presentations for the 2019 conference, please click here.
West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) recently recognized Fayette and Kanawha Counties in their efforts towards fostering more disaster-resistant communities. These efforts led to the counties' Community Rating System (CRS) classes to improve, which resulted in flood insurance premium reductions through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
FEMA oversees the NFIP, which aims to reduce the impact of flooding on private and public structures by providing affordable insurance. CRS is voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed minimum NFIP requirements. Fayette and Kanawha Counties are two of twelve communities in West Virginia that participate in the CRS Program.
Fayette County has made strides in the administration and enforcement of its floodplain management program since it joined the NFIP more than 30 years ago. The county became a Class 9 CRS community through a variety of mitigation actions, which included maintaining Elevation Certificates for structures, providing flood protection information in local libraries, and maintaining local flood data. Currently, Fayette County has 161 flood insurance policies in force, which represents more than $19 million in flood insurance coverage. In total, policyholders receive an annual savings of $5,070 because of Fayette County's participation in CRS.
Kanawha County is also being recognized for its efforts towards outstanding floodplain management, which have resulted in a $75,000 reduction in flood insurance premiums for residents of the county. Today there are 1,607 flood insurance policies in force in unincorporated areas of Kanawha County, which accounts for more than $220 million in flood insurance coverage. Like Fayette County, Kanawha County also boasts a Class 9 CRS rating.
Both FEMA and West Virginia DHSEM recognize Fayette County and Kanawha County for their continued hard work and dedication in reducing flood risk and increasing resiliency within their communities.
Beginning February 15, 2019, Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) boundaries will no longer be depicted on static Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) issued by the FEMA. This change to the FIRM will not impact CBRS property determinations nor any applicable prohibitions. FEMA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) are working together to update how users can access the most up-to-date information on CBRS boundaries.
The Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) was passed by Congress in 1982 to encourage conservation of hurricane-prone, biologically-rich coastal barriers. CBRA prohibits most new Federal expenditures that encourage development or modification of coastal barriers. Therefore, most new or substantially improved residences, businesses, or other developments in the CBRS are not eligible for certain Federal funding and financial assistance, including coverage under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
FEMA has historically shown CBRS boundaries on coastal FIRM. Many coastal communities use the FIRM to locate CBRS boundaries in addition to understanding information about flood zones. However, FEMA does not maintain the official CBRS maps and is therefore not the most up-to-date source of information about them. The authoritative source for CBRS boundaries is USFWS. A static, legacy FIRM should not be used to make determination decisions regarding CBRS boundaries. Using out-of-date information to find out whether a property is eligible for flood insurance under the NFIP could potentially have serious financial impacts.
Property owners are generally made aware of the CBRS designation affecting their property when they obtain a mortgage that requires flood insurance. However, there is no Federal mandate for the disclosure of a CBRS designation by State and/or local officials or realtors at the time of purchase or construction. FEMA and USFWS encourage Federal, State, and local officials to integrate CBRS data into their GIS platforms and other information systems so it is readily available to community officials, developers, property owners, prospective buyers, and others.
The official CBRS maps may be downloaded on the USFWS website at https://fws.gov/cbra/maps/index.html.
The most up-to-date CBRS boundaries can be found via the USFWS's online CBRS Mapper tool at https://fws.gov/cbra/maps/Mapper.html.
On November 19, 2018, FEMA's Recovery Support Function Leadership Group (RSFLG), the Program Management Office (PMO), and External Affairs launched https://recovery.fema.gov/. This interactive website was created to display and track Federal interagency supplemental disaster funding for recent hurricanes (Harvey, Irma, Maria) as well as the California wildfires that occurred in 2017.
This new website allows users to view which Federal agencies received disaster funding from Congress and how they spend those funds on recovery activities. There are four different pages on the website:
The Spending Explorer page allows users to get a better sense of how Congress distributes funding to agencies and how agencies spend that funding on activities that fulfill their missions.
The State Profiles page allows users to gain insight into disaster funding that falls within certain States or territories to better understand historical flood risks and financial impacts.
The Funding in Action page highlights real stories about how Americans are working to build resiliency after devastating events through an active Federal interagency and a whole-community approach.
Finally, the Glossary page contains an alphabetized list of terms and definitions related to recovery and supplemental disaster funding, which is helpful as users navigate the site.
Visit FEMA's new website today to learn more about recovery activities and Federal disaster funding!
In January 2019, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) released an update to the National Inventory of Dams. The 2018 National Inventory of Dams (NID) is now available here.
The NID was populated using 116th Congressional District information. State and Federal dam regulators provided their data from May to November 2018 for inclusion in the 2018 database, which includes more than 90,000 dams nationwide. Major changes to the 2018 NID include allowing users to download or export certain NID data and to view the hazard potential classification.
The NID consists of dams meeting at least one of the following criteria:
High hazard potential classification - loss of human life is likely if the dam fails
Significant hazard potential classification - no probable loss of human life due to dam failure but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or other concerns
Equals or exceeds 25 feet in height and 15 acre-feet in storage
Equals or exceeds 50 acre-feet storage and 6 feet in height
Congress first authorized the USACE to inventory dams in the United States with the National Dam Inspection Act of 1972. The NID was first published in 1975, with several updates as resources permitted over the next ten years. In subsequent years, the Water Resources Development Act, National Dam Safety and Security Act, Dam Safety Program, and the Water Resources Reform and Development Act provided various authorizations allowing USACE to maintain and periodically publish an updated NID. USACE also began close collaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and State regulatory offices to obtain more accurate and complete information. To learn about dams in your community and to view the updated NID inventory, please visit http://nid.usace.army.mil.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) has introduced a new tool called the Delaware Living Shorelines Monitoring Framework to help landowners, professionals, and scientists develop plans to gauge the success of living shoreline projects installed throughout the State. Living shorelines are a shoreline stabilization technique to counter the effects of erosion, while creating additional coastal habitats and improving water quality in the process. The living shorelines approach is regarded as a natural, "soft" alternative to previously used "hard" shoreline stabilization techniques and yields greater environmental benefits.
DNREC's Division of Watershed Stewardship, in partnership with public and private environmental organizations, created this step-by-step framework in an effort to outline identification and prioritization guidelines for living shorelines project goals. The monitoring framework will help to assess if a living shorelines project is progressing to meet development goals, and the framework will suggest specific approaches to increase the performance of a living shorelines project if it is falling short of development goals. The Delaware Living Shorelines Committee also offers trainings and workshops, including two online trainings for property owners and professionals.
In a press release from DNREC and the State of Delaware, DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin stated:
"Living shorelines are the foundation of a unique, natural environmental strategy to counter erosion. As the strategy for installing these evolves, the monitoring methodology created by the Delaware Living Shorelines Committee will help ensure the creation of more effective and resilient shorelines in the future."
The Living Shorelines Monitoring Framework can be found on DNREC's website and is built for a wide range of users and projects, with the goal of creating custom monitoring plans for each living shorelines project.
The District of Columbia is a national leader in many areas related to resiliency and planning. In past issues of the Resilience Report, we covered innovative flood studies and initiatives led by the DC Silver Jackets and highlighted green stormwater infrastructure projects undertaken by DC Water. In this issue of the Resilience Report, we had a conversation with Kevin Bush, Chief Resilience Officer, about his role to keep resiliency and changing future conditions at the forefront of local projects and decision-making in the District. We also had a chance to discuss the development of the DC Resilience Strategy, which was just released on April 29 and is available at resilient.dc.gov.
Q: Could you tell us about your position, Resilient DC, and how both were created?
Kevin: Mayor Bowser applied to join The Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities program in 2016. DC beat out 1,000 cities worldwide and, as a result, the Chief Resilience Officer position and Resilient DC were both created. The program was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and reacted to how cities globally were experiencing a number of major new changes and threats, such as more severe and extreme weather events. 100 Resilient Cities is dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social, and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century, which is crucial as we are all more interconnected than ever before.
100 Resilient Cities provided funding for the Chief Resilience Officer position. I entered this role in 2017 after leading the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) climate adaptation work. In this role, I serve as a central advisor in the Mayor's office and work with the District's various departments and agencies to make sure that we do everything we can to strengthen our city's immune system and make us better prepared. Many organizations or government agencies have the tendency to operate in silos, but my role is to ensure that the agencies and departments of the District are coordinating on resilience initiatives whenever possible. Our aim is to design projects that address multiple objectives. This allows for a more efficient use of resources and opens up the opportunity to combine multiple sources of funds, like FEMA PDM and HUD CDBG.
Q: The District's Resilience Strategy was released on April 29, 2019. Could you tell us about the process you used to develop this strategy?
Kevin: As I mentioned earlier, resilience is like the immune system of the city. If our city is healthy, then it will be better able to withstand a major shock. Our first step was to better understand DC's unique challenges and opportunities for building resilience. We catalogued existing plans and work, from the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan to Climate Ready DC. We asked community leaders and government agencies where they saw room for improvement. Then, we identified five big, probing questions about the District, such as: "How can we institutionalize climate action?"; and "How can we continue to grow economically but use growth to address existing inequality?" We organized multi-sector groups to focus on each of the five questions to identify best practices, conduct additional studies and literature reviews, and assess ways we can build resilience. We then took these findings, went back to our stakeholders and came up with a broad vision for resilience. Our mission, to thrive in the face of change, led us to a set of goals and objectives that are organized around being resilient to different types of change, including: growth, climate change, and digitization. We then sought public input throughout this stage, held workshops in all eight wards, and received comments from over 1,000 people online. We ultimately cross-referenced goals, objectives, and actions with other plans to identify overlap and solidify our strategy.
Q: What are some of DC's high priority issues or actions identified in the Resilience Strategy?
Kevin: The Resilience Strategy has four goals that set generational ambition. All are oriented around change. The goals are related to inclusive economic and population growth, climate action, technological change, and health and safety. In terms of technology, workforce automatization, cyber security, autonomous vehicles, and transportation network companies are all topics we consider when thinking about the District's future.
For an example of an action, we are developing a data-driven approach to target investments in areas where the urban heat island effect is most intense. This may include a variety of projects, such as green stormwater infrastructure improvements, green roofs, and cooling centers with public drinking fountains. We are also developing a $5 million integrated flood model for the District which will help us better understand pluvial, riverine, and coastal flooding. FEMA's flood maps give us an understanding of coastal and riverine flooding, but interior flooding in the District is very complex. We plan to incorporate a wide range of data sources into the model, such as information on stormwater infrastructure and pipe diameters, which will enable us to run very detailed scenarios. For example, we could examine how sea level rise could cause a blockage in a storm drain outlet – then determine which neighborhood would flood as a result.
Q: The Resilience Strategy was informed by many other plans and studies. How will the Resilience Strategy be integrated into other strategies and planning processes?
Kevin: We plan to integrate the Resilience Strategy into other plans and programs where appropriate, particularly if it could lead to funding. The State Transportation Improvement Program and the All-Hazards Mitigation Plan are examples of this. Our unique status as both a state and a city provide us access to pots of funding that you normally wouldn't associate with a city. For example, we have a Wildlife Action Plan that enables us to receive certain federal funds. We could incorporate aspects of the Resilience Strategy into that plan. Each of our plans has the potential to unlock additional sources of funding that could be layered, so we will look for key opportunities where integrating the Resilience Strategy could provide a benefit.
Q: What advice would you give to other local leaders that are trying to make their communities more resilient to natural or human-made hazards?
Kevin: My biggest tip would be that communities really need to take a holistic approach to addressing issues surrounding resilience and not work in silos. Not only can this provide cost efficiencies and open doors to additional funding, but it also increases our capability to address and deal with these issues. Emergency management departments shouldn't be the only organization in a community focused on changing future conditions and their potential impacts.

S&B rebound with confident 4-1 win
First team report vs Alderley Edge, Nov. 19 2019
After the previous week's demolition at the hands of champions Warrington, S&B's first team bounced back against mid-table neighbours Alderley Edge with spectators treated to a string of high quality victories by the home side. A 4-1 win left our team safely above the drop zone. Brian Birch reports.
First on court, playing at five, S&B's Howard Nuttall faced Richard Ingle. With Howard's vast experience we were confident of a good result, but after two games the match was finely balanced at one apiece. Surely there wasn't going to be an upset? Any home concerns were quickly allayed as our player took control to comfortably win the next two games and give S&B a good start to the fixture.
Result S&B 3 - 1 win Score: 11/8 4/11 11/6 11/6
Next on the show court Danny Massaro took on Mike Potter. Despite missing the previous match due to a virus, Danny quickly showed he was back to his best with a confident performance which proved too much for the visiting player.
Result S & B 3 - 0 win Score: 11/3 11/3 11/6
Meanwhile on Court 2 Arron Ken had a tough contest against talented junior Muhammad Khan. Arron took an early lead in a close, high intensity game, yet the visiting junior was calm under pressure and won the next two games. Game four was decided with a tie break which went to Khan.
Result Alderley Edge 3 -1 win Score: 11/9 6/11 4/11 11/13
S&B's number three Lucas Hughes was next on the glass back playing James Pickles. Every point in this match was hard fought with extended deep-court rallies which rarely finished in a drop shot. Lucas won the first, then saved three game points to take game two. The third game continued with Pickles digging deep trying to gain a foothold. But despite his opponent making every point a battle, Lucas was too good and ran out the victor. Result S&B win 3 -0 Score: 11/7 13/11 11/7
The final match featured number one players S&B's Kyle Finch and Alderley Edge's highly talented Adam Turner in a great finale to an evening of high quality squash. Kyle won the first two games with both players showing their supreme ability. Turner then capitalised on mistakes by Finch and fought back to 2-2, taking the match into a deciding fifth game. The S&B man managed to cut out the errors and was too good as Turner faded under pressure.
Result S & B win 3 - 2 Score: 11/7 11/6 8/11 5/11 11/4
Match Result S&B won 4 -1 Points 18 - 6 NWCSL Division 1 league position 6th.

A History of Women's Fashion
Fashion is a broad category of dressing style, footwear, accessories and clothing at a certain time and place and in a certain context. The word itself implies a specific look defined as what is trendy at the time. In general, fashion is used to refer to the changes in trend, style, and attire, so that what is current at one time is considered outmoded at another. The history of fashion is very long. Many ancient cultures across many countries have developed different ways of dressing.
With modernity, there has been a gradual change in the manner of dressing. The traditional clothes of one culture are often copied or adapted by another. This process affects nearly all aspects of people's lives. People who copy clothing styles from the past are called fashionsistas. Those who adapt or create new styles, sometimes from local materials and styles, are known as fashionistas.
When we talk about fashion, we usually think of dresses, trousers and skirts. Trousers were considered the dress code for women in the Middle Ages. They were regarded as the staple clothing for every working woman. Today's fashions include jeans, skirts and blouses.
The influence of fashion is widespread in the world today. The popularity of Ivy League colleges has given the fashion world a booming. Men and women alike, from all walks of life, dress in the same manner to portray their status and influence. Fashion designers are continually creating new clothing options for the masses. The need for clothing is expected to be greater than ever. In fact, the need for clothing is predicted to outstrip the need for water by 2021.
In addition to clothing, shoes are also an important part of anyone's wardrobe. The world's population is increasing. Growing countries such as China and India are expected to join the global textile market. The majority of the world's population still uses the land for farming and making clothing. These areas will be key players in the future of fashion.
Fashionable fashions attract attention. Advertisements portray women in beautiful, luxurious clothing. They also portray bad-boys and bad-girl situations. As a result, a larger percentage of the population is inspired to wear these fashions and accessories. The impact on women's lives is tremendous.
Today, fashion apparel is available in many different varieties and colors. Women can choose clothing depending on their taste, age, or personality. Trends change often. This helps keep fashion in step with the times.
The fashion industry influences women in the home, at school, at work, in the neighborhood, and even in politics. Fashion is an art form. It takes skill, time, creativity, and knowledge of fashion to create and establish a look that catches the eye of others. It takes courage to try new designs. And it takes courage to let those new findings out into the world.


Readers ask for voters support of the Northridge and Newark school levies.
On May 8, voters in the Newark City School District will have the opportunity to support a renewal levy.
This is not a new tax, but it is crucial to maintaining district operations for the next 10 years.
The 7.1-mill measure will raise $5.9 million annually - the same amount as the existing levy. Funds will be used for the following critical needs: implementation of safety measures in each of the district's school facilities, an expansion of the district's STEM programming and camps, as well as the continuation of high-quality K-12 educational programs and curriculum.
The Licking County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has reviewed and endorsed the need for this levy and programming of the levy funds. Fortunately, our community has been very supportive of their public schools. A vote "FOR" the renewal levy on May 8 will continue that tradition.
Strong schools make for strong communities. I urge Newark residents to vote "Yes".
In the upcoming election, voters of the Northridge School District will once again be deciding the fate of another revised version of a levy to support the school.
There are GOOD reasons why this levy has not passed in previous elections.
There are BETTER reasons why now is the time for the levy to be approved.
As proponents have previously noted, cost for maintenance of older buildings and temporary classrooms makes their continued use more expensive. The long-term development of Northridge has always included one centralized location. The school district is on the brink of new development, bringing in more people and more students. Educational opportunities are vital to community enrichment.
Can we afford it? Can we not afford it? We have a responsibility to provide a quality education for our youth and future generations. It is the BEST investment we can make, helping to provide and promote their success in a complex and increasingly technological, extremely competitive business world. Education is key to making this happen.
Show your Northridge Pride. Be sure to vote. Make this this the decisive time to approve this levy. Mark your ballot YES for Northridge School.
The teachers of Northridge Local Schools totally support the district's mission "…to empower all students with the knowledge and skill necessary to be college and career ready." Providing the best education we can for all of our students to be successful citizens in the twenty-first century is essential to us. To achieve this, we are asking the voters in Northridge to vote for the levy on May 8th. It will provide our students with a safer and more appropriate learning environment.
Among the things needed for students to succeed is the ability to work in a group and to adapt to new situations. The skills they will need will change rapidly. Expecting our students to acquire these skills in a school that is outdated and has small classrooms is unrealistic. Students in today's classroom need to be able to move around and form groups for different learning activities. Also, the old infrastructure of the elementary is unhealthy and expensive to maintain. Eliminating this financial drain with a new building and some updates to the other buildings would help our students with their future.
These are just a few of the reasons that voting yes is important on May 8. In the 1990s the voters gave the secondary students the opportunity to be educated in a modern setting. Remember that the bond for that building will be paid off before the new bond starts being collected. Please vote yes so that all Northridge students can be given the best environment for success.

(CBS News) NASA's Curiosity Mars rover, slowly nearing its initial science destination where multiple types of terrain come together, has found outcrops of conglomerate rocks made up of eroded gravels that scientists believe were transported across the floor of Gale Crater by a "vigorous" flow of ankle-to-hip-deep water in the distant past.
It's the first observation of its kind on Mars, showing that an alluvial fan photographed from orbit was, as suspected, formed due to the action of flowing water that entered the crater through a 100-foot-deep, 2,000-foot-wide channel dubbed Peace Vallis that cuts through the crater rim and then fans out across a gentle 1-degree slope toward Curiosity's landing site.
"This rock is made up of rounded gravels in a matrix that's very sand rich," Rebecca Williams of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, AZ, told reporters. "And these attributes are consistent with a common sedimentary rock type called a conglomerate. ... Over time, erosion is working on that rock face and liberating some of the gravels and they're falling down and accumulating in a pile at the base of that outcrop."
Geologists are interested in such gravels, she said, because "they tell you that those particles had been subjected to a sediment transport process, either by water or wind."
"And so typically, you start off with a very angular rock fragment and as it's transported, it's bouncing along, interacting with other grains and the surface, and that wears away the edges until you have a very smooth surface. The key components of these gravels are the rounded shape and also the size. These are too large to be transported by wind. The consensus of the science team is these are water transported gravels in a vigorous stream."
Bill Dietrich, a co-investigator at the University of California at Berkeley, said the gravel size and the distance the rocks were were transported indicates the flow "might have been from ankle-to-hip deep and maybe moving a few feet a second."
In a news release summarizing the findings, Dietrich said "plenty of papers have been written about channels on Mars with many different hypotheses about the flows in them. This is the first time we're actually seeing water-transported gravel on Mars. This is a transition from speculation about the size of streambed material to direct observation of it."
But seeing such a structure from orbit is one thing. Seeing the actual rocks made up of debris that was once swept along shallow channels making up the fan is gratifying to the science team because it provides "ground truth" for the observations made from orbit and shows Curiosity landed in a scientifically rich site.
The Curiosity rover was built look for signs of past or present habitability, at least as it is known on Earth, which requires water, a source of energy and organic compounds. The rover is equipped with sophisticated instruments to look for carbon compounds, but no such observations have yet been attempted.
But the discovery of conglomerate rocks in the outflow of the ancient channel that fed the alluvial fan indicates the science team is on the right track and that water played a significant role in the crater's history.
Curiosity currently is on the way to an area known as Glenelg, where three different types of terrain come together.
"We've driven quite a long way," Grotzinger said. "Yesterday, we had our longest drive of quite a bit over 50 meters and we are most of the way now to Glenelg. The science team is busy trying to choose a target to collect material, probably wind-blown sand, that we will put into (the rover's) chemical laboratories for the first time on this mission."
That work will take two to three weeks, he said, and scientists are taking their time picking out an appropriate sample acquisition site.
In the meantime, "as we were driving along on the way to Glenelg, we encountered some really interesting outcrops that were surprising to the team," Grotzinger said of the conglomerate outcrop. "To us, it just looked like somebody came along the surface of Mars with a jackhammer and lifted up a sidewalk that you might see in downtown LA, sort of like in a construction site.
"What represents the consensus opinion of the science team is that this is a rock that was formed in the presence of water. And we can characterize that water as being a vigorous flow, on the surface of Mars. We're really excited about this because this is one of the reasons that we were interested in coming to this landing site, because it presented from orbit quite a strong case that we would find evidence of water on the ground."
As it turned out, he said, "we landed on this (alluvial fan) and it makes a great starting point for us to do more sophisticated studies using the rover payload."

Amazon win restarts CIA cloud contract
By Frank Konkel
| October 8, 2013
Although IBM plans to appeal, the judge's ruling in Amazon's favor means work on the $600 million CIA cloud contract can start immediately.
Cloud and Infrastructure
Intelligence Agencies
EDITOR's NOTE: This article was originally published by FCW.com.
Amazon Web Services can immediately resume its work building a cloud computing infrastructure for the CIA based on the terms of its original contract agreement worth up to $600 million over four years, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Thomas Wheeler's ruling Oct. 7 essentially overturned a decision made in June by the Government Accountability Office to sustain a bid protest filed by IBM.
In response to the GAO decision, the CIA reopened negotiations and rebid the contract in August. But AWS's successful complaint against the government strikes down the CIA's corrective action and renders moot the rebids the CIA collected in the interim, according to Wheeler's order, filed Oct. 8.
"Ruling from the bench, and for the reasons stated on the record, the Court ordered that Plaintiff's (AWS') motion is granted, the commercial cloud services (C2S) contract awarded to AWS is restored, the corrective action stay is lifted, and the Central Intelligence Agency and AWS may immediately resume performance of the C2S contract," the order states.
Judge rules for AWS over IBM in CIA cloud case
Amazon files court complaint over CIA cloud deal
Amazon rips GAO, IBM in lawsuit over CIA cloud deal
Amazon-IBM dispute enters next phase
6 questions for IBM, Amazon and the CIA
A separate written opinion from Wheeler will follow. While it is unclear when that opinion will come, it will likely outline answers to six questions he posed for oral arguments to AWS, the Department of Justice attorneys representing the CIA, and IBM, which acted as an intervener in the case.
IBM plans to appeal the decision, according to a statement provided to FCW. AWS said it was pleased with the decision and looks forward to resuming work.
While the verdict is a big win for AWS, going back to its original contract might actually cost the CIA more money. That's because it almost certainly received better-priced bids the second time around from AWS and IBM.
The ability to restart the work right away, however, offsets that concern. The cloud contract has already been delayed past the CIA's liking. Microsoft and AT&T protested the CIA's request-for-proposal specifications in mid-2012, forcing the CIA to pull the procurement and rework it. AWS then won the contract in early 2013, only to have the process slowed again by protests and legal proceedings.
The CIA and NSA are charged with providing cloud computing services to the entire intelligence community through the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE) strategy. The agencies have built out a fully functional internal cloud computing infrastructure based on the NSA's internal model, but the court proceedings and protests have slowed the IC's move to procure a private cloud through a commercial vendor.

I am newbie in Linux, please help me find out the problem.

A: I had to remove mysql and reinstall it, now it works

A: In my case mysql service not started because of this error.
A mysqld process already exists

(found it from /var/log/mysql/error.log).
So, I was needed to kill the process and start again:
sudo killall mysqld mysqld_safe
ps aux | grep mysqld
sudo killall -9 mysqld mysqld_safe     # use this if some mysqld process remained

And this helped for me.

A: The relevant error message is
MySQL system database not found in /var/lib/mysql. Please run mysqld --initialize.

Try running
sudo mysqld --initialize

then try starting the service again.

A: The problem is solved, when you remove mysql and then reinstall it.
To remove mysql completely run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove mysql-client-* mysql-common mysql-server-*
$ sudo rm -r /etc/mysql* /var/lib/mysql* /var/log/mysql*

To install it again run:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Una testina, è un'interfaccia fisica tra un dispositivo riproduttore ed un supporto di memoria di massa registrabile.

Sono di solito classificate in base alla tecnologia alla loro base può essere una testina di lettura se serve solo a leggere il supporto, oppure testina di registrazione se serve anche a scrivere sullo stesso. A seconda del livello qualitativo e della classe degli apparecchi, le testina di registrazione e di riproduzione possono essere fisicamente separate o meno.

Classificazione

Tecnologia
I tre tipi di registrazione più comuni sono:

 magnetica - Le testine di registrazione magnetica usano i principi dell'elettromagnetismo per orientare in maniera leggibile dipoli di un mezzo paramagnetico, come l'ossido di ferro. Le testine magnetiche sono costruite in ferrite, permalloy o sendust, che al momento (2007) è il materiale più usato allo scopo.
 ottica - Le testine di registrazione ottica usano i principi dell'ottica e la luce per inviare energia al supporto, il quale trasforma l'energia in maniera leggibile (per esempio, per fusione o reazione fotochimica.
meccanica - Le testine di registrazione meccanica, come quelle usate dal fonografo e dal grammofono, incidono fisicamente il supporto trasferendo energia meccanica, in una configurazione (profondità, dimensione, orientamento) leggibile come suono.
 fonografica - è utilizzata nei giradischi per rilevare la traccia audio dei dischi in vinile, per mezzo di una puntina.

Funzione
Si possono classificare le testine in base alla loro funzione:

registrazione - Queste testine provvedono a inviare il segnale elettrico al supporto.
riproduzione - Queste testine rileggono il segnale dal supporto, riconvertendolo in un segnale elettrico.
cancellazione - Sui sistemi magnetici, questo tipo di testine sparpaglia i dipoli di una precedente registrazione, cancellandola.
confi - In uso su alcuni videoregistratori professionali, queste testine di lettura riproducono il segnale appena registrato, permettendo così di monitorare la registrazione mentre questa viene eseguita.

Q: NVCC refuses to link my object files I am trying to compile a project by compiling object files and then linking them together, nothing fancy:
hello.o : hello.h hello.cu
    nvcc hello.cu -c -o hello.o
#...
main.o : $(objs)
    nvcc *.o -o exec

When I get to the link phase, just about every method is shown to be missing and undeclared, despite the fact that nm shows that each is in fact sitting within my object files, and their names are unmangled. What is going on here?

A: Your final make target looks bogus: shouldn't it say:
exec : $(objs)
    nvcc $(objs) -o $@

You may also need to add the CUDA libraries to the command-line (I think nvcc figures this out when you're compiling a .cu file directly, but maybe it doesn't if you just give it .o files). So, something more like this:
exec : $(objs)
    nvcc $(objs) -o $@ -lcuda -lcudart -lcublas

(Precisely which libraries you need depends on your code)

A: Ok, so my question's formulation was incorrect. In fact, the problem was that I was compiling C code like so:
hello.o : hello.h hello.cu
    nvcc hello.c -c -o hello.o

which caused nvcc to pass the .c files to gcc. When I grepped 'nm *.o' for the name of my method, I found that the object files emitted by gcc had unmangled names, while the .cu files, which were compiled by g++, expected mangled names.
My solution was to rename all the .c files in my project to .cu, although I think (but haven't tested) that leaving them as .c and calling g++ on them explicitly in the makefile should be enough.

A: I tried calling g++ but still got the same errors. The answer was found here:

Google's new principles on AI need to be better at protecting human rights
HRBDT > Blog > Technolog… > Google's…
June 15, 2018 Lorna McGregor
By Lorna McGregor and Vivian Ng
June 15, 2018 In Blog, Corporate Responsibility Research, News, Technology, Big Data and Human Rights: Scope, Methods and Regulation
Originally published by The Conversation on 15 June 2018.
There are growing concerns about the potential risks of AI – and mounting criticism of technology giants. In the wake of what has been called an AI backlash or "techlash", states and businesses are waking up to the fact that the design and development of AI have to be ethical, benefit society and protect human rights.
In the last few months, Google has faced protests from its own staff against the company's AI work with the US military. The US Department of Defense contracted Google to develop AI for analysing drone footage in what is known as "Project Maven".
A Google spokesperson was reported to have said: "the backlash has been terrible for the company" and "it is incumbent on us to show leadership". She referred to "plans to unveil new ethical principles". These principles have now been released.
Google's chief executive, Sundar Pichar, acknowledged that "this area is dynamic and evolving" and said that Google would be willing "to adapt our approach as we learn over time". This is important because, while the principles are a start, more work and more concrete commitments are needed if Google is going to become effective in protecting human rights.
Google's principles on AI
Be socially beneficial.
Avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias.
Be built and tested for safety.
Be accountable to people.
Incorporate privacy design principles.
Uphold high standards of scientific excellence.
Be made available for uses that accord with these principles.
Google also commits to not pursuing:
Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm.
Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.
Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance, violating internationally accepted norms.
Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.
But there are few specifics on how it will actually do so.
AI applications can cause a wide range of harms
Google's principles recognise AI's risk of bias and its threat to privacy. This is important in light of the findings that Google search algorithms can reproduce racial and gender stereotypes. But the principles fail to acknowledge the wider risks to all human rights and the need for them to be protected. For example, biased algorithms not only result in discrimination but can also affect access to job opportunities.
Aside from the search engine, Google's other businesses can also threaten human rights. Google created the company Jigsaw, which uses AI to curate online content in an attempt to address abusive language, threats, and harassment online. But content moderation can also pose threats to the right to freedom of expression.

Google Brain is using machine learning to predict health outcomes from medical records, and Google Cloud will be collaborating with Fitbit. Both of these examples raise privacy and data protection concerns. Our colleagues have also questioned whether partnerships such as Google DeepMind and the NHS benefit or undermine states' obligations to put in place a healthcare system that "provides equality of opportunity for people to enjoy the highest attainable level of health".
What should Google do?
Google's overall approach should be based on finding ways for AI to be beneficial to society without violating human rights. Explaining its first principle to be "socially beneficial", Google says that it would only "proceed where we believe that the overall likely benefits substantially exceed the foreseeable risks and downsides". But an approach that balances the risks against the benefits is not compatible with human rights. A state or business, such as Google, cannot develop an AI that promises to benefit some people at the expense of the human rights of a few or a particular community. Rather, it has to find a way to ensure that AI does not harm human rights at all.
So, Google needs to fully consider the effects of AI on human rights throughout its development and deployment. Especially so, because risks can arise even if the technology is not designed for harmful purposes. International human rights standards and norms – including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights – cover both the purpose and the effect of actions by businesses, including Google, on human rights. These existing responsibilities need to be much more clearly reflected in Google's principles, particularly on the positive action that Google will take to protect harm to human rights, even if unintentional.
To be responsible over how it develops and deploys AI, Google needs to move beyond the current tentative language about encouraging architectures of privacy and ensuring "appropriate human direction and control" without explaining who decides what is appropriate and on what basis. It needs to embed human rights into the design of AI and incorporate safeguards such as human rights impact assessments and independent oversight and review processes into the principles.
The principles should also detail how harms to human rights will be remedied and how individuals and groups affected can bring a claim, which is currently absent.
The way forward?
Launching the principles, Google's CEO Sundar Pichar recognised that the way in which AI is developed and used will have "a significant impact on society for many years to come". Google's pioneering role in AI means that the company, according to Sundar, "feel[s] a deep responsibility to get this right".
Although the principles are an important start, they need much more development if we are to be assured that our human rights will be protected. The next step is for Google to embed human rights, safeguards and accountability processes throughout their AI development. That is what is needed to "get this right".

Neil Young to release previously 'lost' concert film 'Young Shakespeare'
Jack Whatley
@jackwhatley89
Fri 12th Feb 2021 13.30 GMT
The treasure trove of Neil Young is apparently bottomless as the acclaimed singer-songwriter has announced that he has yet another surprise for his fans. The last 12 months have seen Young be rightly revered as one of rock's greatest, as he not only entertained us during lockdown but has also continually shared previously 'lost' moments of his illustrious past.
The latest sees Young announce that he will be releasing the previously lost concert film, Young Shakespeare. The clip showcases Young during his Harvest days and remains one of the earliest pieces of footage of the singer.
The footage is widely thought of as a Young Holy Grail largely because of the intimacy of the show. When taking to the stage in Connecticut some 50 years ago, Young came equipped with just his guitar and some sketches of the songs that would appear on his seminal LP Harvest. Young will now release the footage on March 26th for his fans as part of a live LP and concert film.
January 22nd, 1971, saw Young go under the spotlight at the Shakespeare Theatre, and begin his ascension to one of the most acclaimed songwriters of his generation. Within the performance, there were early renditions of 'Old Man' as well as 'Heart of Gold' and 'The Needle and the Damage Done,' which have given the show its legendary status.
"Young Shakespeare is a very special event," Young said in a press release. "[It's] a more calm performance, without the celebratory atmosphere of Massey Hall, captured live on 16mm. To my fans, I say this is the best ever… one of the most pure-sounding acoustic performances we have in the Archive."
We'll be standing in the (figurative) line to grab one of these Deluxe Edition LPs to ensure we've got one of Neil Young's best performances live on tape.

Outstanding service from an outstanding Flyer delivery company in Highfields Leicestershire LE5.
Simply designing a Flyer delivery with some of your business sales text is not enough to attract the full potential out of targeted campaign. Leaflets need to be developed with the buyer in mind and not from the business owner's perspective, this is a common error in business marketing especially in the UK when done unprofessionally by small companies who think printing and Flyer delivery will offer them more business. Small company will do well with short run campaigns, low quality directly marketing campaigns in the short term, but the UK public are fickle and a low quality Flyer delivery in Highfields Leicestershire screams low quality products. Be careful about where you business tries to lower your costs. Image is everything in the world of advertising, so if you are going to do it, then do it well!
Visualize the way your customer thinks and think of what sort of call to action would make you react to a Flyer delivery being put through your letter box. Could you respond to a black and white photocopied Flyer delivery that looks like it was made using ms word with comic sans font? Would you call a business that offers 50% off its products when customer quotes the Flyer delivery? The second is much more likely, it provides a call to action for the customer to spend less and it gives the business the chance to track the sales and leads provided from the leaflet campaign. In The Uk public respond well to money off campaigns, specifically a down economy.
When you find yourself in the marketplace, you're sure to face competition from a rival firms.

It may be greatly beneficial should the business's target clients are local people of a particular area. Leaflet distribution is also a affordable and useful medium for informing people about a upcoming event for instance a tradeshow being organized using a company for product promotion.
The quality of the leaflet and also its particular design plays an extremely significant role in convincing the targeted audience.

Q: Cross Platform GUI-compatible Encryption I am looking for an encryption tool that is completely cross platform - effectively like FileVault or BitLocker but compatible with both operating systems.
My use case is that I'd like to encrypt a drive that is used heavily between two sites (it travels, hence the encryption) - one Mac and one Windows. Ideally, I'd like to encrypt the whole drive and when I plug it into either machine, it prompts me to enter a key of some form to decrypt it.
I understand that TrueCrypt used to be a great way of doing this - but unfortunately it is no longer supported / developed (ref). I'm not at all adverse to using a command line to unlock and relock the drive provided it is fast enough to be relatively transparent.
Has anyone else encountered this kind of thing / have any suggestions? I'm running Mavericks on all Macs and 8.1 on all Win machines.
Thanks!

A: TrueCrypt 7.1a has gone through at least two audits. They found a couple of high-severity issues were found, but there are no known exploits against them, and one only affects the Windows version. And the one that affects Mac OS, like many exploits, requires physical access. Unless you are worried about your macbook falling into the hands of the NSA or Russian hackers (note: I'm being hyperbolic), I wouldn't be too worried. I'm pretty concerned about security myself, and I'd have no problem using TrueCrypt. The only concern I would have is future compatibility as operating systems evolve and drop support for older stuff.
But there are two active forks off of 7.1a, only one is ready and stable, and has a Mac version: VeraCrypt.
Once you set up an encrypted volume - essentially a loopback file - you still have to format it with something cross-platform. I'm guessing you already understand this part, but if not, this is going to be your biggest cross-platform issue. Or at least, it has been for me having done this kind of thing many times.
FAT32 is really the only rock-solid cross-platform filesystem. It comes with a so-called 32GB partition size restriction, but this can be overcome, for example with Fat32Formatter.
NTFS "should" work, in the form of NTFS-3G, but in practice it never has for me! This could be just my experience, but every time I've tried it I've had issues: either lost data or had concerning enough file integrity issues that it worried me too much to trust important data with. NTFS-3g claims that they comply with NTFS rules better than Microsoft, and that any integrity issues that arise are Microsoft's fault. Which seems plausible to me. But the bottom line is that whenever I used NTFS-3g on a volume, then used it natively in Windows, it had oodles of integrity issues using Microsoft chkdsk. And like I said, I've lost data before, more than once. Personally I just don't trust it.
But in the last few years, I've not had to worry about cross-platform issues. Because, if I need to use NTFS from Mac or Linux, I just use it natively in a VM and share it via CIFS. I've even used Windows 2000 (with no licensing issues) in a VM to access NTFS volumes from Mac or Linux.
But any more, the only "cross-platform" file system I use is ZFS. I used to use two small 1tb USB drives velcro'd to the lid of my Macbook (running Windows), with a Linux VM sharing the ZFS volume via CIFS.

A: Long ago, I used PGP Disk Encryption. I have used it on both Windows and Mac's, but I am not sure that I ever tried to move between two OS's. While Symantec's site says it it compatible with Windows, OS X and Linux, it doesn't directly address moving a drive between OS's.
