The Napston cryptocurrency exchange has the potential to turn the industry upside down, if it's able to produce the results the company expects. The exchange is a fully automated platform that uses a proprietary technology, the "Distributed Artificial Neural Networks (DANN)," to make accurate market predictions. Company officials assert that the platform pools data from "thousands" of independent sources and makes trading possible for even the most inexperienced investor.
The DANN is described as a network of nodes that are programmed to predict the market. Napston throws out a caveat, however, indicating that the accuracy with which DANN is able to offer its predictions is contingent upon the computer processing power that is available.
Napston's platform includes "state-of-the-art security" and full transparency. The company indicates that it only takes about 30 seconds to get started and allows for instant withdrawals, which could be appealing to a large number of traders.
If the platform is able to perform as accurately as the press release indicates, it could be a revolutionary advance for crypto trading. However, let's revisit the issue in a couple of months.
The post Napston to introduce fully automated crypto exchange appeared first on Coingeek.

In ballet, dreams are expensive
Stacey Vanek Smith May 11, 2012
https://www.marketplace.org/2012/05/11/ballet-dreams-are-expensive/
Alys Shee and Aaron Smyth from the film "First Position." First Position
Stacey Vanek Smith: The documentary "First Position" opens this weekend. The film focuses on several young dancers competing in an international competition, the Youth America Grand Prix. But mostly, the film is about what it takes to be a professional dancer. Turns out, it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of money. At the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center I caught up with Miko Fogarty, one of the dancers featured in the film. In a black leotard and tights, she showed me her first position.
Miko Fogarty: This is first position. It's where you're turned out and standing with your knees together.
The film's director, Bess Kargman, grew up dancing ballet and made the movie because she wanted to understand what it took to go pros. But when she started making the film, she was schocked at how expensive it was.
Bess Kargman: Pointe shoes cost $80, some kids go through a pair a day. Tutus; the average price of a tutu is about $2,000. Miko's needed at least six this year.
And that's just the clothing. Miko's mother, Satoko Fogarty, says the real expense is the thousands they pay in competition entry fees and, of course, ballet school.
Satoko Fogarty: $35,000 for tuition which includes class and private lesson. $35,000 a year. That's at least, it might be more.
Mrs. Fogarty estimates it all adds up to nearly $50,000 a year. For families that can't afford that stiff price tag, there are options. Director Bess Kargman says that's why she chose to profile one dancer from Colombia whose family is not wealthy.
Kargman: While you don't necessarily have to be rich to make it as a dancer, you have to figure out a way to pay these costs. That's why scholarships for young dancer dancers are so important.
And family support. Getting serious about ballet means lots of time on the road, picking up and dropping off and even moving.
Kargman: A lot, a lot, a lot of times dancers, their whole families move to be closer to ballet school, just as is the case with Miko. And fequently, parents have to take second and third jobs.
Miko's family moved to be closer to her ballet school; her father paid to relocate his office. Even at 14, Miko is very aware of the sacrifices her family is making.
Miko Fogarty: It's kind of weird thinking your family just spends so much money. Yeah, it's kind of weird hearing everything, but it's reality.
Another reality? Even for dancers who do make it, salaries aren't high. Companies pay starting dancers about $60,0000 a year — and salaries doesn't go up much from there. But Satoko Fogarty says supporting her daughter is about more than money.
Satoko Fogarty: I don't know if I should say this or not, but I think Miko is born to be a ballerina. We are there to make her dream come.
The Grand Prix competition gives out scholarship positions at ballet programs all over the world. This year, Miko placed 12th and got a scholarship at the Princess Grace school for ballet in Monaco.
Miko Fogarty: It's such a huge deal because it's a scholarship, you don't have to pay for all the classes. It's in France, right?

At this time of year the test scores of high school students from around the world are released. US student performance on the PISA Math, Reading and Science tests are compared to their peers from 55 countries. And every year we hear how our kids scored at the "average" level, seemingly falling further behind a half dozen or more countries.
But are these results really indicative of our future success, are we really doomed to losing our "competitive edge" as some critics would argue?
Maybe not, according to Peter Sims, in his book Little Bets. Sims argues that educational systems are built upon teaching facts then testing us in order to measure how much we have retained. Students who are taught to solve math problems, for example, focus on learning established methods of logical inference or deduction, both highly procedural. Improving test performance is a matter of becoming more proficient at retaining and applying established practices.
The risk, according to Sims, is that students are graded primarily on getting the answers right, and not encouraged to creatively problem solve using their own methods. The consequence is that our right-brain capacities to create and discover get suffocated.
Robinson argues that the modern education system was crafted after the industrial revolution to support operational management practices that emphasize efficiencies and productivity objectives. But the emphasis on sequential processes, regimented systems and detailed planning results in the stifling of innovative capacities.
In doing research for his new book World Class Learners: Educating Creative and Entrepreneurial Students Yong Zhao compared the results of the PISA Math scores and the GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) annual assessment. GEM assesses the entrepreneurial activities, aspirations and attitudes of individuals in over 50 countries, 23 of which participate in the PISA test.
Zhao found an interesting and surprising result. There was an inverse correlation between test scores and perceived entrepreneurship capabilities. Top PISA performing countries like Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan, scored the lowest on perceived capabilities or confidence in their ability to start a new business.
Research from Dr. Carol Dweck, a professor of social psychology at Stanford University, a leading expert on why people are willing (and able) to learn from setbacks, found that people tend to lean toward one of two general ways of thinking about learning and failure; fixed mind-set and growth mind-set.
Fixed mind-set students believe in their abilities and innate set of talents, which creates an urgency to repeatedly prove those abilities, and perceive failure as threatening to their sense of self worth or identity. They are likely to be overly concerned seeking validation, such as grades, test scores and titles.
Students identified to be growth-minded believe that intelligence and abilities can be developed through effort, and tend to view failure as an opportunity for growth. They have a desire to be constantly challenged.
In her research with elementary school students, Dweck found that mind-set is strongly influenced by what a student thinks is more important: ability or effort. She found that students praised for their effort, "You worked really hard" versus ability "You must be smart", where more likely to chose the more difficult task and creatively problem solve. Most importantly, when they failed they did not think their performance reflected their intelligence.
This insight would help to explain why students who are seen as "failures," in the tradition sense, like Steve Jobs, are able to succeed and thrive in the face of diversity. It also helps to explain why in the US, students like Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, who drop out of college, which would be shameful or unheard of in other countries, are able to go on to build billion dollar companies and change the world.
As the parent of two high school children, I'm not saying that testing student abilities doesn't have its merits, but I am suggesting it isn't the only measure of predicting a student's, or country's, future success.


Give these to the kids for lunch when we have leftovers they love them. Love ya sis!
Perfect teenager food! I have this one bookmarked!
My son would love these! One question, if you don't have a stand mixer nor a dough hook, can you still make them?

No. 864 - New Town - St John's Anglican Church and the 'Queen's Orphan School'
New Town is a northern suburb of Hobart. It is also one of Hobart's oldest suburbs and consequently the area contains many historic churches. New Town became a municipality in 1907 but was absorbed into Greater Hobart in the 1920s when its municipal status was relinquished.
St John's has the distinction of being Hobart's oldest original Anglican church in continual use. The church's establishment dates back to June 1828 when Governor Arthur expressing the government's intention to build an "orphan school" at New Town. The original concept was to build a simple chapel for the orphans but those living in New Town had other ideas. Consequently a group wealthy residents persuaded Governor Arthur that a proper church should be built.
In 1830 a building committee was formed with Mr. Joseph Hone, the Master of the Supreme Court, as chairman. A subscription list was issued and a sum of £814 was raised. The government provided a grant of a further £1000 to build the church. Prior to the church being completed Anglican services took place at the Orphan School as is evident from a notice appearing in the"Courier" on April 19, 1833:
"We are happy to inform the inhabitants of New Town and its vicinity that until the parish church is completed arrangements have been made for the performance of divine service every Sunday afternoon at the Orphan School, at 3 o'clock."
On January 6, 1834 a foundation stone laying ceremony was attended by the Governor in the presence of over 3000 people. The building was designed by the Colonial Government's engineer and architect, John Lee Archer. The church was completed and opened on 20 December 1835. However it remained unconsecrated until May 1838 when the first Bishop of Australia visited Tasmania.
In the early years the congregation was strictly segregated. It consisted of the 'gentry', who rented boxes and pews in the centre of the church. Government House had a private box close to a large open fireplace. There were also 'free' seats under the South Gallery, three steps higher than the rest of the floor. These were occupied by the family servants and other members of the community. The North Gallery (near the Bell Tower) seated the children from the Orphan Schools. The South Gallery was for the convicts, who sat on narrow backless benches securely fastened to the floor. A division in the centre of the galley separated male and female convicts. There were also two 'warders' or guards' seats, placed strategically by the stairway and a door which was securely bolted.
The church's tower contains a clock which was made in London in 1818 by Thwaites & Reed. The clock's bell was donated as a royal gift from King William IV. The original bell which was installed in 1834 was dislodged and damaged in a storm. It was repaired but in 1916 the bell was considered dangerous and was melted down and a number of commemorative medallions were struck. A new bell was installed in 1929.
The church is flanked by two gatehouses which were the design of James Blackburn and were added in 1841. In June 1897, trees were planted along St Johns Avenue to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
From the very beginning the church was closely linked with Queen's Orphan Schools. The first buildings were erected between 1831 and 1833, predating Port Arthur. The Orphan School precinct was designed by John Lee Archer.
Opening in 1833 as the King's Orphan Asylum, it was renamed the Queen's Orphan Asylum in 1837. It was the first purpose built institution for orphaned, destitute and neglected children in Van Diemen's Land.
However, many of the young children placed in the Orphan Schools had parents that were still alive. These included aboriginal children, who were among the first generation of "stolen children". One of these children was the renowned Tasmanian Aboriginal woman Fanny Cochrane Smith and her brother Adam. They were taken from their families and placed in the orphanage as young children while their parents were living only 30 kilometres away at Oyster Cove.
In 'New Town: a social history', Kim Pearce draws parallels between the Orphan School and the convict system in Tasmania:
"The Orphan Schools were an integral component of the convict system, with the same mechanisms - regimentation, discipline, punishment and control. Religion and education would transform and socialise children into 'respectable' industrious adults. If nothing else, the Orphan Schools would remove from public view children who, for one reason or another, were defined as destitute".
Many of the children died and there are graves of more than 400 children and babies in the precinct grounds. The children that survived were sometimes claimed back by their parents when they were given their ticket of leave and sometimes other relatives might come forward to take the children. The children who grew up in the orphanage were only allowed to leave when they were apprenticed out, or found work as a servant or labourer.
The Orphan Schools closed in 1879. In the latter half of the nineteenth century the church precinct became known as New Town Invalid Asylum. Women from the Cascade Depot were relocated to the site in 1874 and men from Cascades in 1879. Many of the original residents were former convicts and were destitute. In the last decade of the nineteenth century there were upwards of 550 people resident in the precinct. There were still at over 400 people living in the precinct when the state-run facility closed in the mid-1990s. Admission to the aged facility was pejoratively known as 'going behind the clock', a reference to the dominant clock tower on St John's church.

Hidden Common Ground Nation's failed weed war Candidate Q&As Columns & Letters
'The Real SVU': We kicked open the courtroom doors and got justice for sex-crime victims
Linda Fairstein
Opinion contributor
There were no Special Victims Units in any police or prosecutors officers in America when I graduated from law school in 1972. I was offered a position — the seventh woman to join the legal staff of 200 men — in the great office of the Manhattan District Attorney.
I met my first rape victims one year later, when I was 26 years old. I had already learned the very ugly truths about cases of sexual assault: They were the only crimes in the penal laws of every state that required more evidence than the word of the accuser to allow her to go forward. Most days, no matter how credible each of them was — woman, man or child — I had to tell them that our legal system deemed them not competent to repeat their stories to a jury nor to seek justice in a court of law.
When I became leader of the newly created sex-crimes unit in our office in 1976, my three colleagues and I had no template to guide us in doing our work. We fought first to change the archaic laws that had been handed down to us from 17th century British jurisprudence — literally, to kick open the courtroom doors to allow victims to testify.

More:So many missed chances to stop Larry Nassar, so many people at fault
We then had to develop ways to work shoulder to shoulder with the New York Police Department's Sex Crimes Unit, to learn how better to investigate these cases so that any evidence in support of the victim's case could be preserved. There was only one advocacy group in the city to which victims could turn for emotional support — a grassroots organization, most of its members survivors themselves who had been denied access to court years before.
We accomplished more "firsts" than I can count on fingers and toes. We were first to devote resources to taking date and acquaintance rape cases to trial; to recognize and address the special needs of child victims; to call out the potential lethality of domestic violence situations; to deal with drug-facilitated rapes and the issues unique to their investigation.
We were first to creatively apply to a judge for court-ordered surveillance of a health care professional's office when we had credible evidence that he was molesting sedated patients; to understand the needs of victims who were raped by addicts using dirty needles at the height of the 1980s AIDS epidemic, making the crime a virtual death sentence; first to use DNA — even before judges ruled it admissible in court — to both exonerate and incriminate scores of suspects.
And those things were all accomplished by the mid-1980's. The list of innovative and courageous approaches my colleagues took in moving these cases forward is — and continues to be — breathtaking.

POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice, media
Twenty years ago, while I was still leading what is now known as the Special Victims Unit, I had a call from Dick Wolf, creator of the Law and Order television series. He was in pre-production of a spinoff that he called Law and Order: SVU. He wasn't asking me to be part of his team, but he was hoping I would spend time with two of his leading actors — Mariska Hargitay and Stephanie March — to explain our work. Not only did I enjoy that opportunity, but it was the start of two friendships I cherish to this day.
People often commented that Wolf had ripped my professional life from the headlines, just as he did with the crimes he showcased. In fact, this series, one of the most popular in the history of television, brought the issue I have cared most about in my professional life out of the darkness. It shined a terrifically bright light on subjects that often were unspeakable before he set them down in our living rooms.
I stayed in that job for 30 years, because I thought it was the most important work I would ever do. I continue my advocacy for victims of violence to this day. I watch with enormous satisfaction as women step forward to say "me too," remembering a time that there was a stigma attached to every one of those accusers who had the fortitude to get as far as a police precinct or my office.
I applaud their bravery and their strength, and I know that the blueprint for the path every single one of them followed was forged by the women and men who have made these investigations and prosecutions their life's work for the last four decades. There is a real SVU in Manhattan, and I am fiercely proud of its stories.

Subtle Christmas lights on Rue Longue in the Old Town.
Subtiles lumières de Noël sur la rue Longue dans la vieille ville.
Loin des "marchands" et avec des coeurs d'enfants: Preuve(s) est faite avec cette photo qu'il n'est point besoin de grandes "illuminations" pour restituer cette magie de Noël.
My favorite Christmas photo yet, Bravo!!!
Your photo shows a very different approach to Christmas lights than the post today on Sharon's Phoenix Daily Photo side. I like the Christmas lights in yours much, much better.
This Christmas light looked surreal with your first photo of it in daylight - I was not too fond of it, and now it still looks surreal in an other worldly kind of way. Very nice!
A little Christmas light and a usual place becomes magic!
Thank you so much for this beautiful visit to the Rue Longue, Jilly. Menton is magical at Christmas. It brings back wonderful memories of our sojourn there. It was before the renovation, and there was a narrow curb that disappeared in some places. If a car came down the street we had to jump into someone's doorway to get out of the way. I am sure this is much better for drivers and pedestrians, but I somehow miss the old mess that it was.
Karen, I'm so sad to see the new paving and now there is no curb. I so wish the powers that be had chosen beautiful old cobbles. So I agree with you.
Thanks so much everyone for the comments on this photo. It's my favourite too but it pleases me so much you feel the same.
Et Jean-Paul, je suis d'accord avec vous. Merci.
You were flying on your fairy wings to make the first image, right?
Ambient night and melacholy feeling imbued in the air.
Tony's right of course. C'est parfait!
Others have used the word "magic," and I agree.


by accident i took an extra prenatal vitamin. will the baby be ok?
Extra vitamins will not hurt you or your baby. Your body will get rid of what is not needed.
You and your baby will be fine, extra vitamins are not that big a deal like extra medicine.

While his research primarily focuses on a group of ancient mammal relatives called Dicynodonts, he's dabbled elsewhere in the fossil record, too- but no matter the subject of study, there's usually a story involved. There was that one time a broken fossil turtle shell led to a surprising discovery, or another instance in which he very nearly walked away from a site teeming with Asilisaurus- one of the oldest dinosaurs ever discovered.

We're coming to the end of another term, so this is the time students give a final spit and polish to their essay. Of course, by this time in the term, you have usually read your essay so many times your – I meant you're – blind to any errors. Hopefully you're done with the larger issues in the revision process and now can concentrate on the more detailed issues of line editing.
Instead of simply reading through and hoping to catch any and all errors or inconsistencies, it's more productive to do a read-through for each section below. Even though you are reading through your essay a few times, you can read through faster when you are only concentrating on one aspect of editing.
1. The words, Works Cited, should be at the top of the page, not bolded, not italicized, and double spaced between the title and first entry.
2. Make sure all entries are closed with a period.
3. Make sure the entries are in alphabetical order.
4. Entire page double spaced.
5. Hanging indent, with the second line and subsequent lines of each entry indented.
6. Check multiple authors on the same entry. Only the first author's name is inverted.
7. Multiple works by same author, use – – – (3 hyphens) instead of repeating name and list titles alphabetically.
8. For online articles or periodicals, if no author, list by title.
9. Make sure you've added "Print" or "Web" at the end of each citation.
10. Make sure Works Cited is paginated with essay (if essay is 10 pages long, Works Cited will be page 11).
1. Make sure every citation is linked to an entry on the Works Cited page.
2. Make sure every direct quote has an attributive tag.
3. Check that all summaries and paraphrases are cited.
4. Make sure the punctuation is correct. The period goes AFTER the parentheses.
5. Make sure the quotation marks are in front of the parentheses. The citation is not part of the quote but it IS part of the sentence.
7. If you have a quote over 4 typed lines, it should be blocked (do not use this often). Blocked quotes have no quotation marks.
8. Move the period in FRONT of the parentheses on blocked quotes.
9. Blocked quotes are introduced with a complete sentence followed by a colon.
1. Run spellcheck and correct any errors.
2. Make sure all sentences are complete, checking for fragments or comma splices.
3. Make sure you know why you are inserting commas.
4. Make sure you use a comma after introductory phrases.
5. If your sentence begins with "there is" or "there are," revise to eliminate this weak phrasing.
6. If you use "not only," you MUST use "but also" along with it. That's a rule; those are called correlative conjunctions.
7. Check for overuse of "is" as a verb and see if you can replace it with a more concrete verb.
8. Edit out "we, our, us, you," unless your instructor has said it is okay to use pronouns.
9. If you are referring to a person, use "who" in clause structures (not "that").
10. Run an "Edit" and "Find" on words you confuse, such as then and than or were and where, making sure you are using them in the correct context.
Of course, this is an abbreviated list. Your instructor might have his or her own checklist of their personal preferences. Taking time to spit and polish one last time before you hand your essay over might make the difference between an okay grade and a WOW! grade. Don't rely on someone else, including the Writing Center staff, to edit your writing. Learn to read carefully and catch your own mistakes. It's worth the extra effort.
I've been reading a lot of student essays recently that introduce their topics well, provide great sources, consider their audience, but then fall flat at the end. It isn't a problem with failing to offer a restatement of thesis or offering a call to action. It's more a problem of last-line syntax.
Syntax refers to the arrangement of words in a sentence, or the grammatical structure of a sentence. A particular sentence might have a variety of ways one could order the words and still derive the same meaning. Beginning writers (and even some experienced) sometimes give little thought to word order, and in body of paragraphs, it might not make a great deal of difference for a reader. However, a concluding line needs punch. The conclusion should not only leave a strong message for the audience, but also communicate that message in a way to create the most emotional impact right down to the final word.
1) There is no more important issue than this.
2) There is no more important or more urgent issue.
At first glance, both seem okay. Both say about the same thing. But the second is better. Why? Because the final words, "urgent issue" leaves the reader with a more vivid image than the first example, which ends with a vague phrase. In example 1, the concluding word, "this," a pronoun, leaves no strong image for the reader. The phrase, "There is no more important issue. . ." is placed in the slightly weaker position at the beginning of the sentence, so it offers less impact. We remember best what we read last.
The second example also utilizes parallel structure, "more important or more urgent . . .," which works to reinforce the writer's message by the use of repetition.
1) Humanity has hardly advanced in fortitude since that time, though it has advanced in many other ways.
2) Since that time, humanity has advanced in many ways, but it has hardly advanced in fortitude.
The second example has a greater emotional impact by concluding with the words, "advanced in fortitude." These are considered emphatic words, or words that should require prominence in the sentence. The first example's final phrase, "though it has advanced in many other ways," is a bit vague, the words imprecise, which weaken the message.
Also notice the cadence of each example. Cadence refers to the musicality of language, the rhythm imparted on language which is influenced by how words are arranged in a sentence. In the first example above, "Humanity has hardly advanced in fortitude since that time, though it has advanced in many other ways," has a falling rhythm. The ending of the sentence has no emphatic punch. It just kind of trails off.
Since that time, humanity has advanced in many ways, but it has hardly advanced in fortitude.
Do you hear the power at the end of the sentence? How does it sound different than the first example?
Readers read with their eyes, but we still hear what we read. That's why all writers should read their work aloud. Even though we read in our head, we don't get the full effect until we hear the words aloud.
When you are trying to create a powerful concluding line, some words are better left for positions in their respective sentence other than the end. Pronouns and prepositions often weaken a sentence when placed in the final position. One of the most common pronouns that has no place in the final or power position of a concluding line is "it" – probably the most overused pronoun in student papers.
Think about what idea or image you want to leave the reader with and structure the final sentence accordingly. It's often simply a matter of putting more thought into your sentence structure. Play around with word order, and read our earlier post on absolute phrases, which explains the different ways phrases can be arranged in a sentence.
Below are some concluding lines from great literature. Consider why the authors made the choices they did, and how changing the word order might hurt – or enhance – the final lines.
It was a fine cry—loud and long—but it had no bottom and it had no top, just circles and circles of sorrow.
Whatever we had missed, we possessed together the precious, the incommunicable past.
Many instructors require outlines for their research essay assignments, and as discussed in a recent blog post here, alpha-numeric outlines can pose challenges for some of us who are visual learners. Visual learners think in pictures, and it's easier for us to create an outline of our essay in a graphic format than in an alpha-numeric outline.
What is a graphic outline?
In this example, the outline components – the intro, body paragraphs, emotional appeals, opposing viewpoints, and conclusion – have an asterisk to identify them as different sections. You can also put a border around each section to visually identify paragraphs or sections.
You could easily change the graphic organizer above to a persuasive essay by placing the reasons or main ideas in the ovals and the supporting evidence in the squares.
If you find alpha-numeric outlines confusing, try filling in a graphic organizer first. For those who are visual learners, it sometimes helps to lay out your topic graphically first so you get a vision of your paper. Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
More help with graphic outlines can be found at Bedford St. Martin's website.
Most essays don't begin by stating the thesis in the first sentence. The reader needs to be warmed up first. You wouldn't ask someone out on a date without introducing yourself first, right? Right. Likewise, you wouldn't jump right to the thesis without an attention-getter and background information in the introduction.
An attention-getter is often referred to as the "hook" of the essay. A good hook makes the reader want to keep reading. It gets the reader interested in the topic. You can then set the stage with some background information on your topic. Once the reader is hooked, he or she will be warmed up for the thesis.
The US prison population in 2000 was 6,331,400. In 2010, the prison population rose to 7,225,800, a whopping 14.13 percent increase, and rising much faster than the rate of the regular population. If we continue at this rate, the prison population in 2030 will be an astronomical 9,412,08. The US has less than 5 percent of the world's population, but it has almost one quarter of the world's prisoners.
Actually, there are several startling statistics in this paragraph, but each one is more startling than the previous, concluding with the most shocking. We obviously know where the writer is going with this, and the stats that open the essay immediately grab the reader's interest. I want to know the writer's proposed solution, don't you?
Narrative stories paint vivid images for the reader, as this great attention grabber does. In this case, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words, and the writer has shown the reader a shocking scene, which immediately grabs the reader's attention.
Persuasive essays can benefit with historical background to educate the reader, offering them information they may not be familiar with. History can take the form of legal, social, medical or political background information. It's often an effective way to lead into the thesis. In the example above, we immediately understand what the problem is, and our interest is piqued.
Thomas Jefferson's statement in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal" seems contrary to the way he actually lived his life, bringing into question the difference between the man's public and private lives….
Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said, "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," but has US race relations come any further than when Dr. King first uttered these words?
Benjamin Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest," and this is still true today.
Historical quotes (save research quotes for the body of your paper) are an effective way to draw the reader into your essay. Quotes are often familiar and emotional, and appeal to a reader's pathos. Note that in the above examples, the quotes don't merely stand alone, but the writer goes on to derive meaning from them. The writer's ability to derive meaning from the quote and connect it to his or her argument is a great way to lead the reader on toward the thesis.
Is Tipper Gore overreacting? In her article, "Curbing the Sexploitation Industry," Gore emphasizes the danger posed for our children by what she calls the sexploitation industry.
America is often labeled a "melting pot," referring to a society where all elements "melt into" a harmonious whole with a common culture, but do our nation's laws support this ideal, and should they?
Posing a provocative question to your audience that inspires interest and concern is a great way to get the reader thinking about your topic. Rhetorical questions arouse curiosity in readers by encouraging them to try to answer the question posed.
The purpose of the introduction is to inform the audience, make the reader understand the topic, and then to agree, or at least be receptive, to the thesis. Your topic will most likely guide you in choosing which type of hook works best in your introduction. Always consider who your audience is and choose the one that would best appeal to that group. Once you grab their attention, you'll be on the way to a successful essay.

REVIEW Fleetwood Mac Live in San Jose, CA 11/21/18 highlights its history in hit-studded concert
Revamped Fleetwood Mac highlights its history in hit-studded San Jose concert
Warren Pederson - San Fransico Chronicle
Photos: Jim Gensheimer
Fleetwood Mac paid tribute to its varied incarnations at San Jose's SAP Center on Wednesday, Nov. 21, and despite a few surprising flubs, the storied rockers commanded the crowd as if they never broke the chain.
The band, which survived five decades of shifts in sound, personnel and personalities, performed an almost 2½-hour set rich in the soft-rock standards that defined its commercial peak in the 1970s and '80s, as well as blues tunes from its formative years and a few obscurities, during its 50th anniversary tour stop.
It was a set that regardless of which Fleetwood Mac era fans came to see, hit every note. The show may not have won over those who miss singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, recently replaced in a move that divided classic rock lovers, but the tour that is likely to please longtime followers planning to catch Fleetwood Mac when the band plays Sacramento's Golden 1 Center on Friday, Nov. 23, and Oakland's Oracle Arena on Sunday, Nov. 25.
The San Jose concert was particularly special for singer Stevie Nicks, who turned 70 this year but hasn't ditched her shawls or heels. A homecoming of sorts, Nicks took several moments to give the South Bay city a proper shout-out. Born in Phoenix, she attended San Jose State University and made some of her first recordings in the Bay Area.
"It's pretty darn good to be back in my own specific and very special hood," she said. "This is where it all started, and I had to take a minute to let you know that."
Nicks, who has done decades of shows worldwide with the band as well as solo, said she was a bit nervous to be back in the Bay Area and even forgot the lyrics at one point to "Landslide." Whether it was nerves or overfamiliarity with one of her most popular songs with the band, it was an odd moment from a normally polished singer.
"What's happening? … I've lost the key," Nicks admitted in the midst the song, which she dedicated to longtime friends (including one who used to drive her to the College of San Mateo for "two solid years, back and forth").
"This is my home, so I can do this," she laughed off. "Seriously, I'm so nervous I'm never coming back here!
"I'm kidding. I will always come back," she assured the crowd. "This is when you know, after 70 years, that you still get this nervous when you sing a song for people that you love."
With longtime singer-guitarist Buckingham fired amid reports of major bad blood with Nicks, his former lover he met when the two attended Menlo-Atherton High School, the band has been touring with Neil Finn of Crowded House and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty's band, the Heartbreakers. Though neither had the manic magic that made Buckingham unstoppable onstage, they provided competent interpretations of Buckingham's standards, with Finn handling the lead vocal in "Second Hand News" and "Monday Morning," and Campbell tackling the frenetic guitar leads on "The Chain" and "Go Your Own Way."
The band did a deep dive into its blues catalog, with Nicks providing a feminist spin singing "Black Magic Woman," a haunting psychedelic gem later popularized by Santana; Finn dusting off "Tell Me All the Things You Do," a melodic nugget from Danny Kirwan, a Fleetwood Mac member from 1968 to 1972 who died this year; and Campbell taking the spotlight on "Oh Well," a powerful hard rock hybrid.
Nicks, even more of a focal point for the band with Buckingham out of the picture, gave the crowd what it wanted with "Dreams," "Rhiannon" and "Gypsy." She paid tribute to Petty, her frequent collaborator who died last year, with a spirited version of "Free Fallin'" featuring projected images of the two together and Petty with the Heartbreakers over the years.
Finn, whose solo career hasn't received the attention it deserves after he created moody, melodic pop with Crowded House and Split Enz, took a deserved spotlight with a cover of "Don't Dream It's Over." It was an unusual choice for a Fleetwood Mac concert, but it was well received — especially when Nicks joined in on the chorus.
Drummer Mick Fleetwood, still a solid player at 71 and is probably the member who's worked harder than everyone to keep Fleetwood Mac together over the years, did his standard wild-man solo. Bassist John McVie kept his usual low profile but provided a solid foundation for the band. And keyboardist Christine McVie, who rejoined the band in 2014 after a lengthy semi-retirement, proved to be a grounding force with her smoky vocals on the mid-tempo staples "Little Lies," "Isn't It Midnight" and "Everywhere." She closed the evening with a duet with Nicks for the band's third encore song, "All Over Again." (The deep cut is off the band's poorly received 1995 "Time" album and is a song that only Fleetwood Mac's die-hard fans remember — if at all.)
McVie's collaboration with Buckingham last year on an album of new material was such a pleasant surprise that it's disappointing to know that Fleetwood Mac has no intentions of recording new songs again. That could take the sting away for Buckingham fans who resent hearing the new guys covering songs he made famous. But as long as some form of Fleetwood Mac remains intact covering the band's classic catalog, this incarnation passes the test.

JACKIE PIERI et al., Plaintiffs and Respondents, v. CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO et al., Defendants and Appellants.
COUNSEL: Dennis J. Herrera, City Attorney, Wayne K. Snodgrass and Vince Chhabria, Deputy City Attorneys, for Defendants and Appellants.
Zacks Utrecht & Leadbetter, Andrew M. Zacks, James B. Kraus and Paul F. Utrecht for Plaintiffs and Respondents.
JUDGES: Rivera, J., with Sepulveda, Acting P. J., and Munter, J., concurring.
RIVERA, J.–The City and County of San Francisco (the City) appeals after the trial court granted the petition for writ of mandate of Jackie Pieri, Lavinia Turner, and Small Property Owners of San Francisco (collectively Pieri), concluding the City's relocation assistance ordinance on its face violated the Ellis Act (Gov. Code, 1 ß 7060 et seq.). We reverse.
1 All undesignated statutory references are to the Government Code.
Jackie Pieri and Lavinia Turner own residential rental properties in San Francisco which they seek to remove from the rental market. Small Property Owners of San Francisco is an organization seeking to promote home ownership in San Francisco. They filed a petition for writ of mandate on March 2, 2005, alleging the City's relocation assistance ordinance (ordinance No. 21-05), which required landlords to provide relocation assistance to their tenants when removing property from the rental market (S.F. Admin. Code, ch. 37, ß 37.9A, subd. (e)(3)), facially violated the Ellis Act. The petition alleged the relocation ordinance was not reasonably related to the tenants' need for assistance, and therefore impermissibly placed a prohibitive price on the right to withdraw property from the rental market. The trial court grant-ed the petition, ruling that the relocation ordinance facially violated the Ellis Act.
Pieri argues, and the trial court agreed, that Channing Properties's limitation on relocation assistance to lower in-come tenants survived the elimination of the statutory language upon which it was based. We see no basis for such a conclusion. As the court noted in Channing Properties, the intent shown in the wording of former section 7060.1, sub-division (c) was to protect lower income tenants. ( Channing Properties, supra, 11 Cal.App.4th at p. 99.) No such limitation on the legislative intent appears in the current statutory language. The Legislature has shown that it can draft language intended to protect only lower income tenants. In eliminating such language, and in including "persons displaced by reason of the withdrawal from rent or lease of any accommodations" (ß 7060.1, subd. (c), italics added), we can only conclude the Legislature meant what it said.
We are not persuaded otherwise by Pieri's argument that the Legislature did not express an intent to overturn the rule of Channing Properties. It is true that "it should not be presumed that the legislative body intends to overthrow long-established principles of law unless such intention is made clearly to appear either by express declaration or by necessary implication." ( People v. Davenport (1985) 41 Cal.3d 247, 266 [221 Cal. Rptr. 794, 710 P.2d 861].) However, even if the court's construction in Channing Properties of former section 7060.1, subdivision (c) qualified as a "long-established principle of law," we would disagree with Pieri's conclusion. We must presume the Legislature was aware of prior judicial interpretations of the law and that in amending the statute, it "intended to change all the particulars upon which we find a material change in the language of the act." ( Moore v. State Bd. of Control (2003) 112 Cal.App.4th 371, 383 [5 Cal. Rptr. 3d 116] (Moore), citing Clements v. T. R. Bechtel Co. (1954) 43 Cal.2d 227, 232 [273 P.2d 5].) The amendment to section 7060.1, subdivision (c) was clear and unambiguous, and eliminated the precise language relied on in Channing Properties. As aptly stated in People v. Olmsted (2000) 84 Cal.App.4th 270, 276 [100 Cal. Rptr. 2d 755]: "In interpreting statutory language, a court must not 'insert what has been omitted, or … omit what has been inserted.' (Code Civ. Proc., ß 1858.) This is particularly true where, as here, the term in question previously appeared in the statute but was subsequently omitted. We decline to insert a word the Legislature has removed." (See also Estate of McDill (1975) 14 Cal.3d 831, 838 [122 Cal. Rptr. 754, 537 P.2d 874] [it is not the court's province to insert language into statute].) We likewise decline to insert language the Legislature has omitted, and reject the argument that section 7060.1, subdivision (c), as amended in 2003, limits relocation assistance to low income tenants.
Pieri contends, however, that the City's relocation ordinance violates the Ellis Act by placing a prohibitive price on a landlord's decision to go out of business. We cannot conclude–and Pieri does not argue–that the imposition of relocation assistance payments must inevitably place an undue burden on a landlord's right to withdraw from the rental business. In stating that it neither diminishes nor enhances the power of public entities to mitigate adverse impacts on dis-placed tenants, section 7060.1, subdivision (c) clearly contemplates that public entities have some such power under existing law.
5 In Bullock v. City and County of San Francisco (1990) 221 Cal. App. 3d 1072, 1099-1102 [271 Cal. Rptr. 44], Division Four of the First Appellate District concluded a city ordinance that conditioned issuance of a per-mit to convert residential hotel units to tourist use on the owner's either providing replacement units or making a substantial "in lieu" payment to a fund maintained by the City, from which tenants could apparently receive re-location assistance, violated the Ellis Act. The court rejected the argument that the ordinance merely mitigated the adverse impact on displaced tenants, stating: "It is one thing to require the owner of a residential hotel to provide mitigation to tenants actually displaced by a conversion [citing section 7060.1], but it is something en-tirely different to require the owner to make expenditures that benefit society at large." ( Bullock, at p. 1101.) The payments in question here would directly benefit tenants, not society at large.
The question of whether the payments required by the relocation assistance ordinance are reasonable remains to be decided. Several cases have established that a public entity may not impose a prohibitive price on a landlord's exercise of the right under the Ellis Act to go out of business. The court in Javidzad v. City of Santa Monica (1988) 204 Cal. App. 3d 524, 526 [251 Cal. Rptr. 350], considered a city law that denied a removal permit to landlords who could make a fair return on their property unless the units were uninhabitable or unless the landlord intended to develop new rent controlled units. Noting that the denial of a removal permit precluded the redevelopment of the property, the court con-cluded the measure imposed a prohibitive price on the exercise of the rights under the Ellis Act. ( Id. at p. 531.) Other cases have concluded local measures violated the Ellis Act where they denied a permit for demolition of a residential building unless it would not be detrimental to housing needs and it would either remove a hazardous structure or would be necessary to permit construction of the same number of housing units ( First Presbyterian Church v. City of Berkeley (1997) 59 Cal.App.4th 1241, 1252-1253 [69 Cal. Rptr. 2d 710]); denied the right to demolish buildings unless the own-ers agreed to restrict the use of the land for themselves and their successors for 10 years ( Los Angeles Lincoln Place Investors, Ltd. v. City of Los Angeles (1997) 54 Cal.App.4th 53, 64 [62 Cal. Rptr. 2d 600]); and denied the right to elim-inate or demolish residential hotel units unless the owner either provided replacement units or paid the city 80 percent of the cost of replacement housing ( Reidy, supra, 123 Cal.App.4th at pp. 589, 593). Thus, in each of these cases, the local law on its face imposed a significant restriction on the landlord's use of the property.
Pieri contends the City's relocation ordinance on its face puts a prohibitive price on the decision to go out of the res-idential rental business. In considering a facial challenge, we consider "only the text of the measure itself, not its appli-cation to the particular circumstances of an individual." ( Tobe v. City of Santa Ana (1995) 9 Cal.4th 1069, 1084 [40 Cal. Rptr. 2d 402, 892 P.2d 1145].) Thus, we can only invalidate the relocation ordinance if it presents a " ' "total and fatal conflict" ' " with state law. ( Ibid., quoting Arcadia Unified School Dist. v. State Dept. of Education (1992) 2 Cal.4th 251, 267 [5 Cal. Rptr. 2d 545, 825 P.2d 438].) We cannot conclude that the relocation ordinance on its face violates the Ellis Act. While the amount of the compensation is higher than that approved in Kalaydjian, Briarwood Properties, and H & H Properties, it is not so disproportionately higher–especially in light of intervening inflation–that it is necessarily beyond that contemplated by the Legislature in enacting and amending section 7060.1, subdivision (c). In the circumstances, we must reject Pieri's facial challenge to the relocation ordinance. 6 In doing so, we express no view on the merits of any challenge that might be brought to the application of the ordinance in any particular situation.
6 In any event, the present record does not show that the relocation ordinance has made it prohibitively expen-sive for anyone to leave the rental market. While the pleadings in the record refer to declarations in which Pieri and Turner apparently state it would be a hardship to pay the relocation compensation, there is no evidence that they will, in fact, be unable to withdraw from the rental market.

It all began as a bottle of Royal English Leather commissioned by King George III after becoming enamored with a pair of Creed scented gloves. Passed from father to son for seven generations since its London founding in 1760 by James Henry Creed, The House of Creed has been handcrafting uncommon fragrances for royal houses and discerning patrons for over 250 years.
Today, Sixth Generation and Master Perfumer Olivier Creed and his son, Erwin Creed, carry on the craft from their Parisian laboratory. Father and son each personally seek out the purest elements from around the world to continue the art of Creed's perfume making—a timeless, yet modern take on history, bottled.


In preparation for the launch of the book, I became equal parts event organizer and ecommerce specialist! I obviously wanted to have an amazing launch event. But on launch date, I also needed to be ready for all my online orders.
Let's talk about online orders first. I already had setup the Whisk & Spatula website nine months prior. But because I was not selling anything yet, I had not activated the e-commerce portion of the website. So I upgraded my subscription on SquareSapce.com to include an ecommerce option that integrated with my shipping solution.
In addition, I set up my Amazon product page so I could sell on Amazon. Because I had no idea how things would fare on Amazon, I ended up choosing the most basic selling plan. When sales volume increased leading up to the holidays, I upgraded to the professional plan, which is more economical after you reach a certain volume of sales and also offers you additional features. I did not opt for fulfillment by Amazon as I felt I was more than capable of handling fulfillment of orders. Again this is something I can change at anytime if I ever chose to. But so far it has been manageable.
Because I was now selling, I needed to collect sales taxes on books sold any state I had a physical presence. Hence right before launch, I registered with the Florida Department of Revenue. I had already setup a LLC six months prior but had not yet registered with the Department of Revenue as I wasn't selling anything yet. The minute you are registered with the department of Revenue you have to file quarterly taxes with the state, even if you didn't sell anything. Hence, I waited until the last moment to do that.
I also had to prepare for the logistics of mailing books. I ended up subscribing to a service called ShipStation.com. It is a web-based shipping solution for online sellers designed to streamline fulfillment and is integrated with both my website and Amazon. So when I get orders from either, they can all be fulfilled from the same platform. I simply package the books and print a label with postage already paid. Then I just drop it off at the post, without even getting in line!
In addition to setting up Shipstation.com, I purchased all sorts of shipping supplies. The last thing you want is to get orders galore and not have the proper materials to ship them! I purchased a few different types of mailers taking into account that people purchase different quantities of books. I also bought mailing labels so I can print them at home and plenty of packaging tape to reinforce the packaging when needed. Mailing materials can get expensive so you need to do your research. I found that RoyalMailers.com offered competitive prices and good service.
Now on to the BIG night… the Launch event!
Because this was a cookbook launch, the event had to have food… particularly food from the book! So I decided I would prepare all the food myself. But because I knew that the days leading up to the launch would be crazy, I had to plan the menu in such a way that I could spread the work out in the days preceding the event. At the actual event, I had two servers assembling the platters and serving. If I known I would have gotten about 150 people at the event, I probably would have hired one or two more servers. Fortunately, the daughter of a friend was more than happy to help out and she was the hit of the party! As for beverages, I got a donation of Spanish wines and the distributor showed up to serve and talk about the wine, which helped defray the cost of the event.
I also had to prepare the invitation for the event. I called on my book designer @LuigiPanda to design my invitation. I shared this invitation with everyone on my email list and all my friends and followers on social media. I also printed copies that I mailed via the postal service to some people and had some available to give out to people as I came across them.
At book launches, an author is expected to talk about his or her book and my launch was no different. Some people were coming to hear about the Camino. Others were more interested in what I had to say about the food. And others wanted to hear about my journey writing this book. So I came up with a program that attempted to address all these aspects. I started off talking briefly about the Camino and what led me to embark on it. Then I spoke about my passion for food and the Camino and gave them an overview of the food of each region I walked through. Finally, I talked about the process of creating this book. I did my best to keep the presentation portion under 35 minutes and then gave ample of time for people to ask questions. I'm a strong believer that no matter how good of presenter you are, nobody wants to listen to you for more than 35 or 45 minutes!
A book launch is very much like being the bride at a wedding where everybody wants to congratulate you and take pictures with you. In addition, they also want you to sign their books… Of course, all that attention is incredibly humbling! But it is hard to do it all yourself and you need to bring in the troops to help with a bunch of stuff, particularly the selling of the book. Therefore, I enlisted two trusted friends to help sell the book while I signed books and chatted with people. I equipped them with a couple of square readers (square.com) as well as a cash box. The square readers enables one to take credit card payment using a mobile device like an ipad or iphone.
Of course, I had to have someone documenting the evening and hired a good friend, who is also an accomplished photographer, to capture the best moments of the evening!
Finally, on the same day of the launch, I also announced it to my email list as well as on social media. So when I got back home from the launch event around midnight, I already had plenty of orders waiting to be fulfilled, which is what you strive all the time, but particularly on your launch day!

Attempting to test VXLAN on an existing and working ICEHOUSE deployment which was previously only using GRE for tenant separation. Config files were updated to enable VXLAN and the openvswitch agent was reloaded on all nodes and the neutron-server on the controller node . A new tenant was created as was a network using VXLAN but no instances on this new tenant network will boot properly nor does 'ovs-vsctl show' display any VXLAN tunnels.
Running ICEHOUSE release on nested Ubuntu 14.04 KVM instances.
Added interface e4f462a4-1195-4572-94f4-e94b8cff0203 to router demo2-router.
Would try manually update database neutron->table ml2_vxlan_endpoints and test would it create VXLAN tunnels or no ? Create links /etc/neutron/plugin.ini -> /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini Services restart.
@dbaxps, thanks for the suggestion. Got things working by breaking out the tunnel_types parameter into a separate stanza in the ml2_conf.ini file on the network node and all of the compute nodes.
What are the current limits for the number of tenants networks for VLAN and GRE in Neutron?

Why are so many pedestrians dying on State Street in Harrisburg?
HARRISBURG -- Cynthia Wilson, 62, had safely crossed State Street in Harrisburg hundreds of times in the dozen years she had lived on the block.
But Monday night, she didn't make it across alive. She was struck by an eastbound car after trying to cross five lanes of traffic at dusk.
Police said she may have been trying to walk to the store. Her upstairs neighbor, Jace Murtiff, said she left her lights and television on inside her apartment, anticipating that she would be right back.
Her death marked the fifth pedestrian or bicyclist fatality along that stretch of State Street in Harrisburg in 17 months, resurrecting serious concerns about the design of the state-owned road by residents and city officials.
"We're sick to our stomach," said City Engineer Wayne Martin. "This is a state route and I just don't know where to go with it. I need the state to understand what's happening on these roads."
The driver stayed at the scene after the 6:48 p.m. accident in the 1400 block of State Street. Police have not released additional details, but noted that a lack of visibility, lighting and marked crosswalks had contributed to the deadly trend of pedestrians being killed on State Street.
The street represents a perfect combination for tragedy, according to neighbors, with its five lanes of traffic, which makes it difficult to cross or illuminate for pedestrians, and sparse crosswalks, which encourages jaywalking and limited parking, which can force residents to park across the street. And then there are the speeders.
"They come down here like they're on Interstate 81 or 83," said Lisa Jenkins, one of Cynthia Wilson's neighbors. "I'm just so afraid they're going to get one of the kids" from the block or a nearby school.
Jenkins' adult son in fact was struck on State Street last year while trying to retrieve something for his baby from his parked car.
As Russell Jenkins III stood next to his driver's door, another car plowed into him, sending him flying into the center of the road in August. The driver kept going, leaving Jenkins III with a concussion, three broken bones in his left arm and a tear in his right shoulder.
So when Lisa Jenkins heard there was another pedestrian hit Monday night, she panicked.
"I started screaming," she said. "Where is Russ? All the memories were coming back."
As it turned out, it was her neighbor who was killed.
Wilson retired last year after working as a computer specialist with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. She didn't have children or very many living relatives, but was close with her apartment mates at her home.
She had four cats and also took care of all the neighborhood cats by feeding them and providing milk and shelter on her front porch.
Murtiff said Wilson would greet her apartment mates when they returned home, because she lived on the first floor and could hear the front door open. Wilson would either open her door to say hello or shout a greeting through her closed door.
"She was pretty outgoing," Murtiff said. "She was very caring."
Wilson had been in a bad car wreck earlier in her life so she was afraid to drive, Murtiff said. Instead, she walked everywhere. She was typically cautious about crossing State Street, because everyone knows how dangerous it is, Murtiff said.
Murtiff said she likely crossed the road in the middle of the block to get quickly on the other side, where the sidewalk is more open and well-lit with fewer parked cars and bushes.
"She probably felt safer over there, especially if she was walking alone," he said. "I see a lot of people cross where we live to avoid walking on our side of the street."
Nearly everyone who lives on the section of State Street from 13th to 17th streets knows someone who has been hit or killed. The Jenkins' next-door neighbor also has been struck but survived.
After a pedestrian and bicyclist were killed by vehicles on the State Street bridge within two months last year, city officials said they were going to ask for a traffic safety study.
City officials asked for that stretch of road to be included in a study of State Route 3014, which includes Forster Street and across the Harvey Taylor Bridge into Camp Hill's Cumberland Boulevard.
Camp Hill officials raised concerns after a 66-year-old woman was killed along with her two dogs by an impaired driver as she tried to cross Cumberland Boulevard. Since then, a 74-year-old man died in January after being hit by a tractor trailer near the shopping center after he got out of his car for a fender-bender.
While some of Harrisburg was included in the original scope of the study, it was going to stop at Seventh Street, meaning that the State Street Bridge and beyond would not have been included despite numerous recent deaths.
But the city engineer called officials Tuesday with Harrisburg Area Transportation Study, a regional planning group tasked with identifying needs and priorities for transportation projects, and pointed out the omission.
"The study will include the area of the fatalities," said Martin. "I did confirm that."
It's unclear how long the study will take, but it could take up to a year to complete and come up with recommendations.
During a regional transportation meeting last year, when Martin first asked for State Street to be included in the study, he said PennDOT had added adaptive traffic signals along State Street, which helps to move motorists through corridors more quickly by timing the green lights to benefit the heavy traffic.
But Martin noted that no additional provisions were added for pedestrian safety.
"That never occurred in this place," he said at the September televised meeting. "It was just, 'Let's speed up traffic along this corridor with no return on pedestrian investment.'"
The $3.6 million project with adaptive cameras to monitor traffic and adjust the timing of the green lights started in February 2016. Since then, there have been five pedestrian or bicycle fatalities on State Street in Harrisburg.
Before that, the city logged one pedestrian fatality on State Street in January 2011.
Camp Hill's two pedestrian fatalities along Cumberland Boulevard also came after the traffic control change, but PennDOT spokesman Greg Penny said he didn't believe the system was connected in any way. He did cite "excessive speed, poor visibility in the roadway (i.e., difficulty seeing the bicyclist in the left lane at night), and DUI," as contributing factors for recent fatalities in Harrisburg.
But city officials think there are fundamental flaws in how State Street, and other major thoroughfares are set up.
The city's streets are too "auto centric," said Mayor Eric Papenfuse, noting that 40 percent of residents don't have regular access to motor vehicles.
"Our focus with present and future infrastructure projects is squarely on pedestrian safety," he said.
But State Street is a state-owned street, so the city must defer to PennDOT for any changes.
Possible solutions to decrease the danger on State Street could include reducing the number of lanes or reducing the amount of time pedestrians must spend in the roadway through bumpouts or other traffic calming measures. A light study could help determine ways to illuminate pedestrians without creating unneccessary glare for drivers.
Even low-cost solutions such as painting a giant "35 mph" in the middle of the asphalt could help, Martin said.
"There are designs that could work, like boulevard-type designs," he said. "You've got schools, churches and residences all along that corridor. But it's a struggle to get things changed."
A nationwide program to reduce traffic fatalities called Vision Zero, that promotes integrating human failings into road planning, has made impressive strides in other cities.
In New York City, Queens Boulevard was once known as the "Boulevard of Death," according to an article in City Lab, because of the ultra-wide artery's staggering toll: 185 deaths between 1990 and 2015.
But since a $100 million ongoing overhaul to narrow lanes, widen sidewalks, and protect cyclists--zero pedestrians or cyclists have died.

At least, that was how I felt when we were working on paying off our $22,047 in student loan debt.ThisA is a great free tool to help you get out of debt faster.
For the example, I'llA be using the starting amount that we had when my husband and I started our journey to debt free.
Then, I use several examples of small budget adjustments that you might use toA get out of debt faster. Be sure to plug in your own numbers to the calculator after the tutorial, so you can see exactly how this applies to your own situation.1.
List them in order from smallest to largest.At some point it may ask you for your name and email address, so you can save your information. We put just $39 extra toward our smallest loan, even though it didn't have the lowest interest rate. At some point, you will have to move to Debt #2 A to enter these amounts because Debt #1 will be long gone! You can then roll over the minimum payment and the extra monthly payments to your next loan.
Of course, all of this goes straight on your debt repayment!You need to have a plan when these small windfalls come your way. The real power of the Debt Snowball Calculator is when you log on and start looking at your own debt repayment plan.
Play with the numbers, and start to see how even small changes in your budget can make a real difference. His theory is that if you can't get your car loan paid off in 18-24 months then you should sell the car and buy a clunker. Unfortunately, there's no selling back your education to get rid of a student loan, haha! When it just pops up and asks you to join, just close out of it, and it should let you move on. I was trying to do it with a spreadsheet, but interest is so complex that I was always off.
I have been trying to use the debt snowball calculator for hours and it keeps telling me there is an error on the page! In it, you can still set up your budget and debts, but I have yet to find anything similar to the Debt calculator.
