Q: Set background opacity for parent, but not its children I thought I wanted to something fairly simple but it turns out its not simple.
I have a  with a child <span> element. I want to be able to set (using javascript/jquery), the opacity of the <div>'s background but not the text within it. The color of the div is user-provided and could be either a HEX value or a named color.
Idea 1: use rgba(). This would be fine if I could only set the alpha but I can't. So I would need to check if the provided value is a hex or a named color and convert it to rgb values, which seems like way too much hassle for a simple problem.
Idea 2: prevent the span from inheriting the opacity value from its parent. But appearently the opacity isn't inherited. It is just applied on the whole DOM element and its children as if it were one element.
Idea 3:
Create a seperate div just for the background color and make it a sibling of the span element. This would probably work but in my opinion is a ridiculous solution. Also when I tried that, I ran into a problems which forced me to apply css settings like position: absolute; to my span and div. Which I didn't want to as it broke other styling I had applied. Maybe it is possible, but its such an ugly solution.
Is there really no other way to do this?

'I don't have to prove anything to anyone' – Ancelotti backs Real Madrid ahead of Inter clash
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti insisted he does not "have to prove anything to anyone" as his side prepare to host Inter.
Madrid hold an eight-point advantage at the top of LaLiga, while they have already qualified through Group D in the Champions League.
The two top sides meet on Tuesday, with Ancelotti's team boasting a two-point lead over Inter, who have not defeated Spanish opposition in Europe since October 2004.
Madrid have also won their last three games in the Champions League against the Serie A outfit, though the pre-match focus was on the latter stages of the continental competition as the Spanish giants look for an unprecedented 14th title.
"I don't have to prove anything to anyone," Ancelotti responded to reporters at Monday's pre-match news conference.
"I have a very young coaching staff and also young footballers with a lot of enthusiasm and desire to learn. With this coaching staff, I feel very good because we can combine their enthusiasm and my experience well.
"I can't say if Madrid is the favourite or not to win the Champions League, but we can compete against any team. If you want to win this competition, you have to face the best. If you have the goal of reaching the final, you will have to beat strong teams.
"In the second year of my first stage, we were very close to success. The period between January and February did not go well, we suffered important injuries like [Luka] Modric's. But each year has its history and you cannot compare that with the current one.
"The history and tradition of this club, which is the best in the world, involves a requirement. When we won La Decima we enjoyed it and celebrated it, but we had to move on. This is what this club and this fans are asking for."
Inter head to the Spanish capital after a dominant 3-0 win over Jose Mourinho's Roma moved them within a point of leaders Milan in the league.
Simone Inzaghi's side also know a win will ensure top spot in Group D but Inter have not defeated Madrid away from home in European competition since March 1967.
Ancelotti, though, is expecting a great battle with the Nerazzurri, who have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign.
"It is a prestigious game for us," he added. "We play against a team that is doing very well, playing football well.
"We play [for] first place and that is important. And we play in our stadium in front of our fans. It will be an interesting match."

Arteta urges Arsenal to 'defend ourselves on the pitch' after hitting out at 'lies'
Mikel Arteta has urged his Arsenal players to do their talking on the field against Liverpool after accusing unnamed parties of "lying" about the reasons behind Sunday's north London derby postponement.
The Gunners had a request to call off the match against fierce rivals Tottenham accepted by the Premier League on Saturday due to having a lack of players available to choose from.
However, Arteta's side were accused of exploiting the Premier League's rules for a game to be postponed, with the majority of their players absent due to injury, suspension or Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Arsenal had only one confirmed positive COVID-19 case at the time of lodging an application to get the derby called off, but the Premier League deemed they were unable to meet the required number of available players – 13 outfielders and a goalkeeper – despite their Under-23s having a squad of 16 for a game on Friday.
Speaking on Tuesday, Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte felt the decision to postpone the match was "very, very strange".
But Arteta hit back at Arsenal's critics in response to Conte's remarks and added: "We're not going to let anybody damage our name or try to spread lies."
Doubling down on those comments, Arteta said: "We have to defend ourselves. The best way to do that is demonstrate who we are, and the best way to do that is on the pitch.
"Whoever is saying we are trying to do something we are not, that's a lie. We have all the evidence we have to provide.
"You have to provide evidence individually, all the MRIs, all the COVID cases that you have, you have to put it on the table, you have to explain it, you have to answer more questions and you have to go again and do it. We've done all the right things."
As the fallout from Sunday's derby cancellation continues, Arsenal have a crucial EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool to prepare for on Thursday.
The tie is delicately poised following last week's goalless draw at Anfield, where Arsenal held on with 10 men for more than an hour after Granit Xhaka's sending off.
And for Arteta, the match at Emirates Stadium represents a chance for his young squad to continue their development by reaching a major final.
"I can sense the excitement when they're training. They're really looking forward to it. The majority of them have not experienced [a semi-final]," he said.
"It's why you play football, it's why you want to play for this club, to win trophies. We want to go through and then go and win it, which is the best memory you can have."
Arsenal confirmed on Thursday that defender Pablo Mari has completed his loan move to Serie A side Udinese.
Mari, who has made 22 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions, will remain at the Dacia Arena for the remainder of the season.

Whilst I was growing up my brother had an imaginary friend. He described him as a half-human, half-tiger creature who would participate in our games, achieving things we would never be able to achieve. The current show at Mimosa House, a project space on Hanover Square, deals with similar themes by gathering artists and their alter-egos, avatars and other forms of imaginary friends. Bringing together contemporary artists with more historical work from the 1970s, the show explores the latent power of a masquerade to transgress, subvert and transform identities, gender, subjectivity and racial divisions.
A key work for the conceptual framework of the exhibition is Oggi Spose (1977) (which can be translated as 'newly wed') by Tomaso Binga, an important and rarely acknowledged figure of the Italian and international artistic scene of the 1970s. The work is made of two photographs: one of a smiling bride in her wedding dress and the other of a middle-aged man dressed in a broad-shouldered suit. On closer inspection the two protagonists bear a strong resemblance with each other; they are in fact the same person but different personas of the artist.
Tomaso Binga is the pseudonym of Bianca Menna, who chose a male name for her art, both using and parodying the cultural privileges reserved for men in Italian society. Some of these are still relevant today: in certain industries men still receive a higher salary then women for the same role. What looks like a banal photograph of a bride and groom becomes a powerful tool to discuss gender imbalances and how embracing manhood can give access to power.
Deconstructing a male-oriented world recurs also in Adrian Piper's The Mythic Being: Light My Fire, Sweetie (1974), where the artist is disguised as a black man, suggesting once again the empowering act of masculinity. Piper's work is mostly focused in discussing identity, race and gender, based on her experience of being a black woman and operating in an art world dominated by white men.
The masculine disguise is also paired with a queer aspect. In Cibelle Cavalli Bastos's Las Venus Resort Hotel: Hang Out Dimensional Slice Download (2018), an installation made from colourful plastics, Cavalli Bastos creates the interior of a hotel. This structure is run by the artist, who embodies the 'feminine' trait of multitasking by offering herself as cook, cleaner, aestheticist, entertainer and manager. Femininity is here examined to the point of collapse of what is real and what is imagined.
Constructed identities are the focus of the videos of Bulgarian artist Gery Georgieva, who becomes the musical diva Vera Modena. Wearing Modena's mask of feminity and fusing traditional folk singing with magnetic dancing, Georgieva investigates issues of national identity.
Super Taus, the Alter-Ego of Moscow-based artist Taus Makhacheva, explores identity by presenting a radically different version of womanliness. Super Taus is a traditional woman from Dagestan, a region in the South of Russia from where her family originates, with super-human powers that help her achieve the unachievable. The videos of her performances shown in this exhibition are filled with humour. Super Taus displays femininity as a joke, as something that could never be real. Is this the reason why we are laughing at Super Taus's actions? Is Super Taus, dressed in traditional Dagi clothes and veiled, not supposed to achieve these highly physical and 'masculine' efforts? How does this reflect the situation of women in other parts of the world? Wearing a particular form of femininity, Super Taus introduces rivalry, superiority and destabilises patriarchal hierarchy.
A great influence for Taus is Sohrab Kashani, whose Super Sohrab is a Tehran-based superhero attempting to fix local and global socio-political problems linked to Iran's current state of affairs. Creating other characters to talk about a political situation is also at the core of the work of French artist of Guyanese and Danish descent Tabita Rezaire, who sees herself as a 'decolonial healer'. Using cyborgs and mixing technology with traditional African healing practices, Rezaire explores and critiques how colonial structures of power and oppression continue to endure on and off-line. 'Decolonial healing' is a response to cyber-racism: a proposal for resisting the models that have been constructed so far.
These other egos, heroes and personas enables all the artists to discuss, denounce and highlight salient issues related to their countries of origin. The construction of the 'super-artist' becomes a basic structure for political and aesthetic action.
Alter Heroes Coalition displays a feminist approach that acknowledges the efforts made by a previous generation of artists and the battles that a current generation needs to undertake. Subtly investigating the reasons behind artists' masquerades, super heroes, and other imaginary yet real beings, the exhibition discusses the implications of feminity, masculinity, performance and identity. Perhaps my brother was not so childish in bringing his imaginary all-mighty friend over to play. As the artists in this show highlight, we need multifaceted characters and supernatural beings to address wider cultural and political contexts.

CEO 20-3—March 11, 2020
CONFLICT OF INTEREST; VOTING CONFLICT
TOWN COMMISSIONER MEMBER OF A COUNTRY CLUB THAT IS SEEKING TO LEASE PROPERTY FROM THE TOWN
To: Mr. David J. Ottinger, Esq. (Attorney for Town of Belleair)
No prohibited conflict of interest is created under Section 112.313(7)(a) or Section 112.313(3), Florida Statutes, where a town commissioner has a non-equity membership in a country club that is seeking to lease property from the town. Because the membership conveys no proprietary interest, and does not concern the Commissioner's business or financial interests, it is not the type of contractual relationship that creates a prohibited conflict under the statutes. Were the town commission to vote on the lease agreement, the commissioner would not have a voting conflict under Section 112.3143, Florida Statutes, although it is recommended that he abstain from the vote pursuant to Section 286.012, Florida Statutes, to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Referenced are CEO 12-15, CEO 11-1, CEO 10-2, CEO 08-7, CEO 07-11, CEO 06-12, CEO 04-5, CEO 01-17, CEO 90-51, CEO 90-30, CEO 89-40, and CEO 78-18.
Would a town commissioner have a prohibited conflict of interest under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes, were the town commission to lease real property to a country club of which he is a non-equity member?
Under the circumstances presented, Question 1 is answered in the negative.
In your letter of inquiry and additional information provided to our staff, you state you are bringing this inquiry on behalf of a Town Commissioner for the Town of Belleair who is a member of a local country club. In particular, you indicate the Commissioner is a member of the Belleview Biltmore Country Club Corporation (the Club), which is a nonprofit corporation that owns and operates a golf and country club within the Town. You relate the Club has approximately 750 golf members and approximately 450 social members,1 and that the Commissioner's membership is as a golf member. Importantly, you state the Commissioner is not an employee, officer, or board member of the Club, and that he has no financial or equitable interest in the Club itself. You indicate the Commissioner uses his membership for purely recreational and social purposes, in that it allows him to access the Club's golf course and facilities.
As a golf member, the Commissioner is entitled to cast a vote on certain types of issues affecting the Club, as detailed in the Club's Amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.2 However, you state that being a member does not grant the Commissioner an equitable interest in the Club or the right to share in the Club's profits or losses. This claim is supported by Article 2.5 of the Bylaws, which stipulates that members have no property rights or other interests in the Club, and Article 3.3 of the Bylaws, which states that Club membership is not transferable. Moreover, Article 7 of the Amended Articles of Incorporation clarifies that, in the event the Club dissolves, its property and assets will pass to the local homeowners' association, following payment of debts and expenses.3
Your inquiry concerns a potential lease arrangement between the Club and the Town. The Town is considering a proposal by the Club's management to allow the Club to lease an approximately 60-by-300-foot parcel of Town land (less than half-an-acre of property) to build a new waterfront golf hole. You state the parcel is vacant and lies adjacent to the Club's current golf course. You relate the Town has complied with all requirements set out in the Town Charter concerning the disposition or leasing of real property. It has hired an independent appraiser to assess the parcel's fair market value and has held public workshops concerning the potential lease. You state the lease is advantageous not only for the Club, but also for the Town, as it will provide additional revenue and relieve the Town—for the duration of the lease—from having to maintain the parcel or its seawall.
You have included the lease proposal in the provided materials. In the current proposal, the Club offers an initial twenty-year term, along with the chance to renew at the conclusion of the lease term, and requires an initial payment to the Town of $100,000, with subsequent monetary payments to be made annually. You anticipate the Town Commission will vote on this lease proposal at an upcoming meeting, and inquire whether the lease arrangement, if approved, will place the Commissioner in violation of Section 112.313(7)(a), considering his pre-existing membership with the Club.
Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes, states:
CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT OR CONTRACTUAL RELATIOSHIP.--No public officer or employee of an agency shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any agency which is subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, any agency of which he or she is an officer or employee . . . ; nor shall an officer or employee of an agency have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his or her private interests and the performance of his or her public duties or that would impede the full and faithful discharge of his or her public duties.
The first part of Section 112.313(7)(a) prohibits a public officer from having a contractual relationship or employment with any agency or business entity that is either subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, the officer's own agency. The definition of a "business entity" includes "any corporation" (see Section 112.312(5), Florida Statutes) and, therefore, applies to nonprofit organizations. See CEO 10-2, n.6, and CEO 78-18. Accordingly, if a particular nonprofit corporation is being regulated by or is conducting business with the Town Commission, Section 112.313(7)(a), standing in isolation, will prohibit the Commissioner from having an employment or contractual relationship with it.
While there is no indication the Town is regulating the Club, the two entities will be "doing business" if they enter into the lease arrangement. Entities are "doing business" with each other when there is an exchange of consideration, such as money, property, or services. See CEO 04-5 and CEO 90-51. Lease arrangements qualify as "doing business" because of the exchange of money for property, as well as the fact that one party to a lease will have a cause of action against the other in the event of a breach or default. See CEO 12-15. Thus, the question here becomes whether the Commissioner's membership in the Club, which he holds solely for social and recreational purposes, should be considered a contractual relationship prohibited by Section 112.313(7)(a).
This Commission has found that membership in a social or recreational club is contractual in nature, mainly because such membership usually is accompanied by the payment of dues or fees, as well as an agreement to adhere to certain club regulations. See CEO 90-30 and CEO 89-40. However, we have not found in the past that mere membership in a social or recreational club, by itself, is sufficient to violate this portion of the statute.
In CEO 90-30, we addressed an officer of the Department of Environmental Protection who oversaw all the licensing and regulatory functions being conducted in one of the Department's regional offices. A yacht club where the officer was a member had various regulatory matters coming before that regional office. Although the officer had removed himself from any regulatory issues affecting the yacht club, his membership in the yacht club—and the club's interface with the Department—did, in a technical sense, trigger the prohibition in Section 112.313(7)(a). However, we noted that the intent of the Code of Ethics is to address situations where a public office or employee is engaged in private business transactions or professional activities, or has private obligations, that would impede or conflict with his or her public duties. We noted that mere membership in a social or recreational club was unlikely to involve a public officer's personal business interests or obligations, and also was unlikely to tempt the officer to place personal interests above those of the public. Accordingly, we applied Section 112.316, Florida Statutes,4 to negate the application of the statute towards the officer's membership in the yacht club.
Similarly, here, we do not find the Commissioner's membership in the Club to be the type of contractual relationship that the statute was intended to prohibit. As in CEO 90-30, the membership merely is for social and recreational purposes. It does not give the Commissioner a financial or equitable interest in the Club, it does not entitle him to share in the Club's profits, and it does not allow for any financial remuneration. Even beyond that, it is nontransferable and does not grant the Commissioner the ability to receive any property or assets if the Club is dissolved. In short, the membership creates no financial incentive or obligation for the Commissioner to place the Club's interests over his public responsibilities. Considering these factors, and the similarities to CEO 90-30, we find Section 112.316 should be applied—under these unique circumstances—to negate the strict application of the first part of Section 112.313(7)(a), in the event that the Town leases the property to the Club while the Commissioner is still a Club member.
This conclusion is based on the particular set of facts presented here. However, we note that to find otherwise could lead to unreasonable results. For example, were the Town to contract with the Club to hold a holiday event in the Club's facilities, the Commissioner then would be in violation of Section 112.313(7)(a) due to his Club membership. Or were the Town to contract to use Club property for a charitable golf tournament, the Commissioner would be in violation of Section 112.313(7)(a). We find that the prohibition in the first part of Section 112.313(7)(a) is not directed at this recreational membership.
Our analysis concerning the lease arrangement, then, turns to the second part of Section 112.313(7)(a), which prohibits a public officer from having a contractual relationship or employment that will create a "continuing or frequently recurring" conflict of interest or that will "impede the full and faithful discharge" of his public duties. Under the unique circumstances here, we find that the Commissioner's membership in the Club does not constitute the type of contractual relationship that will trigger the statute. In support of this, we have found in the past that while service as an officer in a voluntary association can constitute a prohibited conflict under the second part of Section 112.313(7)(a), mere membership will not. See CEO 08-7, Question 2 and CEO 06-12. Here, the Commissioner is only a member of the Club, not an officer or director.
Accordingly, were the Town to enter into the proposed lease arrangement with the Club, we find no prohibited conflict of interest will exist under Section 112.313(7)(a) for the Commissioner.5
Question 1 is answered accordingly.
In the event that the town commission leases property to the country club, will the town commissioner have a prohibited conflict of interest under Section 112.313(3), Florida Statutes? Under the circumstances presented, Question 2 is answered in the negative.
You also inquire whether the Town Commissioner will have a prohibited conflict of interest under Section 112.313(3), Florida Statutes, were the Town to lease the property to the Club, considering his membership in the Club. Section 112.313(3) provides:
DOING BUSINESS WITH ONE'S AGENCY.--No employee of an agency acting in his or her official capacity as a purchasing agent, or public officer acting in his or her official capacity, shall either directly or indirectly purchase, rent, or lease any realty, goods, or services for his or her own agency from any business entity of which the officer or employee or the officer's or employee's spouse or child is an officer, partner, director, or proprietor or in which such officer or employee or the officer's or employee's spouse or child, or any combination of them, has a material interest. Nor shall a public officer or employee, acting in a private capacity, rent, lease, or sell any realty, goods, or services to the officer's or employee's own agency, if he or she is a state officer or employee, or to any political subdivision or any agency thereof, if he or she is serving as an officer or employee of that political subdivision . . . This subsection shall not affect or be construed to prohibit contracts entered into prior to:
(a) October 1, 1975.
(b) Qualification for elective office.
(c) Appointment to public office.
(d) Beginning public employment.
Importantly, Section 112.313(3) does not apply when the sale, rental, or lease, such as the proposed lease here, is being made from an agency to an outside entity, rather than the reverse. See CEO 07-11, n.8, and CEO 04-5. In addition, the provision only applies in situations where a public officer is an officer, partner, director, or proprietor of, or holds a material interest in,6 the business entity renting, leasing, or selling to his or her agency. Because the Commissioner only has a non-equitable interest in the Club, and is not an office or director, Section 112.313(3) will not apply.7
In the event that the town commission votes on the proposed lease agreement with the Club, will the town commissioner be presented with a voting conflict under Section 112.3143(3)(a), Florida Statutes?
You also inquire whether Section 112.3143, Florida Statues, the voting conflicts law, will prohibit the Town Commissioner from voting on the measure concerning the lease agreement when it comes before the Town Commission. Section 112.3143(3)(a), which is the portion of the voting conflict statute applicable to local, elective officers, provides:
No county, municipal, or other local public officer shall vote in an official capacity upon any measure which would inure to his or her special private gain or loss; which he or she knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of any principal by whom he or she is retained or to the parent organization or subsidiary of a corporate principal by which he or she is retained, other than an agency as defined in s. 112.312(2); or which he or she knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of a relative or business associate of the public officer. Such public officer shall, prior to the vote being taken, publicly state to the assembly the nature of the officer's interest in the matter from which he or she is abstaining from voting and, within 15 days after the vote occurs, disclose the nature of his or her interest as a public record in a memorandum field with the person responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting, who shall incorporate the memorandum in the minutes.
And Section 112.3143(1)(d), Florida Statutes, defines "special private gain or loss" as "an economic benefit or harm . . ."
Because the Club may decide to increase its membership dues if it acquires the lease, inasmuch as its members will be able to enjoy a new waterfront golf hole, voting on the lease may have an economic effect on the Commissioner. However, Section 112.3143(1)(d)1., Florida Statutes, requires the Commission to consider the size of the class that will be affected by a vote when considering whether the vote presents a conflict. Given that there are 750 golf members at the Club, we find that any effect on the Commissioner's dues would not be "special," as would be required to find a voting conflict. See CEO 11-1 (finding no voting conflict for a city councilmember regarding a vote affecting a collective bargaining unit comprised of 150 members, including her husband). And while the statute may be triggered if a vote brings "special private gain or loss" to a public officer's principal, relative, or business associate, these considerations are not relevant here. The Club cannot be considered the Commissioner's "principal" as he has no equitable interest in it, no employment relationship with it, and accepts no compensation from it. Nor does the Commissioner's scenario involve a "business associate." We have found individuals are "business associates" when they are engaged in a common, commercial pursuit; it is not enough that they merely occupy a label or nominal status in relation to each other. See CEO 01-17. Here, the Commissioner's membership simply allows him access to the Club's facilities and amenities. Therefore, the Commissioner is not a "business associate" of the Club owners or other Club members, and, thus, he will not have a voting conflict concerning the approval of the lease arrangement.
Nevertheless, while the Commissioner may not have a voting conflict under Section 112.3143(3)(a), we recognize it may not foster public confidence in government for him to vote on the lease. Were he to vote, his membership in the Club may create an appearance of impropriety concerning his objectivity on the measure. To avoid such an appearance, we suggest the Commissioner remove himself from involvement in decisions concerning the lease and abstain from the vote pursuant to Section 286.012, Florida Statutes.8 This provision allows a public officer to abstain when there is, or appears to be, a possible voting conflict, in the interest of fostering transparency in government. Should the Commissioner abstain under Section 286.012, as recommended herein, he should comply with the steps for responding to a voting conflict as described in Section 112.3143(3)(a). See CE Form 8B.
ORDERED by the State of Florida Commission on Ethics meeting in public session on March 6, 2020, and RENDERED this 11th day of March, 2020.
Kimberly B. Rezanka, Chair
[1]You indicate that, for the purpose of numbers, a member and their spouse/significant other are counted as one member, meaning the number of individuals actually using the Club and its amenities may be greater than the membership figures reflect.
[2]In the provided materials, you have included the Club's Amended Articles of Incorporation, as well as its Bylaws. Article 10 of the Amended Articles of Incorporation and Article 3.4 of the Bylaws grant to the Club's golf members voting rights on certain issues, and Article 13 of the Amended Articles of Incorporation specifies the types of actions that are subject to a vote.
[3]You state the Commissioner is not a member of that homeowners' association and does not own a home within the boundaries governed by that homeowners' association.
[4]Section 112.316 provides:
CONSTRUCTION.—It is not the intent of this part, nor shall it be construed, to prevent any officer or employee of a state agency or county, city, or other political subdivision of the state or any legislator or legislative employee from accepting other employment or following any pursuit which does not interfere with the full and faithful discharge by such officer, employee, legislator, or legislative employee of his or her duties to the state or the county, city, or other political subdivision of the state involved.
[5]This discussion, though, only concerns the application of Section 112.313(7)(a). The Commissioner also should take note of Section 112.313(6), which provides: MISUSE OF PUBLIC POSITION.--No public officer or employee of an agency shall corruptly use or attempt to use his official position or any property or resource which may be within his trust, or perform his public duties, to secure a special privilege, benefit, or exemption for himself of others. This section shall not be construed to conflict with s. 104.31. Were the Commissioner to act with a wrongful intent and in a manner inconsistent with the proper performance of his duties in an attempt to obtain a benefit for the Club—whether regarding the lease arrangement or another matter—his conduct could violate Section 112.313(6).
[6]A "material interest" is defined in Section 112.312(15), Florida Statutes, to mean direct or indirect ownership of more than 5 percent of the total assets or capital stock of a business entity.
[7]In the provided materials, you also indicate the Town and the Club have a separate agreement under which the Town supplies reclaimed water for the Club to irrigate its golf course. The prohibitions in Sections 112.313(3) and 112.313(7)(a) will not apply to the agreement because Section 112.313(12)(c), Florida Statutes, exempts the application of these provisions to utilities services.
[8]Section 286.012, Florida Statutes, provides, in pertinent part:
A member of a state, county, or municipal governmental board, commission, or agency who is present at a meeting of any such body at which an official decision, ruling, or other official act is to be taken or adopted may not abstain from voting in regard to any such decision, ruling, or act; and a vote shall be recorded or counted for each such member present, unless, with respect to any such member, there is, or appears to be, a possible conflict of interest under s. 112.311, s. 112.313, s.112.3143, or additional or more stringent standards of conduct, if any, adopted pursuant to s. 112.326. If there is, or appears to be, a possible conflict under s. 112.311, s. 112.313, or s.112.3143, the member shall comply with the disclosure requirements of s. 112.3143.


It seems like all we have been doing these last few months were doctors and vets visits.
Today for a change we won't have to do either of the two and boy what a nice change it is.
Today is like a "normal" day for a change. Woke up happy and early to a beautiful morning.
course we are hoping it will cure him. We are always hoping. What else can we do?
told that Brutus has no liver damage, no kidney problems and no urinary tract infection.
They sure are happy. Took their picture as they passed in front our our apartment.
I want to feel even for a day as carefree as these girls are. Just for a while.
Well it's a beautiful day and I see no reason to not make it a fantastic one!

Q: Global low-level mouse hook doesn't get called when UWP desktop app is out of focus
I'm creating a desktop UWP app and I need to set a global low level mouse hook to detect and change the position of it when it is moved to certain locations of the screen.
It works fine while my app's window is in focus and the values get logged correctly to the output window(meaning that the hook is working correctly).
This UWP app isn't going to be on the store and will only be used on a Windows 10 desktop (1903+).
I've tried calling SetWindowsHookEx on a different thread (which didn't do anything).
Tried also passing a thread ID when calling SetWindowsHookEx to no avail.
Also tried using the following restricted capabilities to prevent the app to suspend when not on focus: extendedExecutionUnconstrained and extendedBackgroundTaskTime along with the PreventFromSuspending method shown here.
Another thing I tried was to set uiAccess to true on the app manifest, which also didn't work.
The global hook is supposed to work even when the app isn't in the foreground, but instead it just works when it has the active window focus.

Then, to start using it:
public ManagedMouseHook MouseHook { get; set; }

MouseHook/*property*/ = new ManagedMouseHook();

And to unhook:
MouseHook/*property*/.Close();

A: UWP apps are running in the sandbox, so that doesn't sound strange. If you think a bit it is a security problem if the app can receive such an input and as 'Security' is listed as No.1 characteristic of the UWP this behavior is expected.

A: I've decided with the help of the comments that the best way to do this is to use my UWP app as a front-end and using a win32 app for the hooking functionality itself.

Q: How to style a component based on state in Styled Components? I am trying to change the input background based on the useState hook in Styled Components in React.
Here is my code:
 const [searchActive, setSearchActive] = useState(true);
 <div className="search" searchActive={searchActive}>
     <input id="input"/>
 </div>

Here is my Styled Component code:
.search {
    background: ${(searchActive) => (searchActive ? "red" : "yellow")};
   }

any advise would be very appreciated.

A: Creating a component and passing in props will work:
import React from 'react'
import styled from 'styled-components'

const Search = styled.div`
  background: ${props => (props.searchActive ? 'red' : `yellow`)};
`

const Parent = () => {
  return (
      <Search searchActive={searchActive}>
        <input id="input" />
      </Search>
  )
}

export default Parent

Only different is whatever you have style wise for search can be added to the Search component but you do not show any further code so I do not know how you're bringing it in.
You can also externalize the components with something like:
import styled from 'styled-components'

export const Search = styled.div`
  background: ${props => (props.searchActive ? 'red' : `yellow`)};
`

then bring it in:
import {Search} from './search.js'

A: Add 'props' in styled-component like this;
.search {
  background: ${props => props.searchActive? "red" : "yellow"};
}

A: You can declare and directly use Styled Components in jsx . They are not required to be used as a className. Maybe this approach is useful for you.
import React, { useState } from "react";
import styled from "styled-components";

export default function App() {
  const [searchActive, setSearchActive] = useState(true);
  const [value, setValue] = useState("");
  const Search = styled.input`
     background: ${(props) => (props.searchActive ? "red" : "yellow")};
  `;
  return (
    <Search
      searchActive={searchActive}
      value={value}
      onChange={(e) => {
        setValue(e.target.value);
        setSearchActive(false);
      }}
    />
  );
}


Note: This is the second book in a series. Reading anything below might spoil the first book's plot.
With the thrilling ending of Mind Games, the Keane Foundation believes Fia has killed her own sister. But all Fia ever wanted was a life outside of the Keane Foundation for her and her sister. And her perfect instincts told her she could make it possible for one of them. So she chose to free her sister.
Annie has joined a group known as the Lerner group that is focused on destroying the Keane Foundation. While waiting for Fia to make contact, Annie spends her time trying to control her visions to help find other girls with abilities. But what she sees isn't anything good, and it makes her question where Fia's loyalties lie.
Fia has perfect instincts and no one can see her future because she doesn't plan anything before doing it. So in the process of trying to bring down the Keane Foundation, she finds herself helping them to stay under their radar. She trusts James to help her bring a stop to this deadly organization. But are her feelings skewing the reality of James; is he really helping her?
A really quick series to read that I think will give you some interest. Anyone looking for a paranormal thriller should enjoy this one.


Tutorean is a tutoring platform that matches students and private tutors according to their specific needs. Through a simple test, we understand how students learn best and use their learning profile to match them with tutors whose teaching style is a good fit. We believe this creates a better learning experience for every student and a more rewarding teaching experience for tutors. Lessons can be held face to face or online and hundreds of subjects are available.
It's pretty simple, really. Once your profile's set up, you can begin applying to tutor students on your own Job Board. Some parents and students will get in touch with you directly. Simply arrange a place and time, and get paid for lessons directly to your bank account shortly after each lesson. We'll be here to support you along your tutoring journey!
You can apply to become a tutor here. All you have to do is follow a few basic steps to get your profile completed. Once you've submitted your profile, our review team will process your application and will consider everything from your bio to your profile video and reviews before accepting you into our active community. Importantly, please ensure your profile picture is high quality and clearly shows your face :) Check out the 'Become A Tutor' section of our FAQs to find out more.
Our tutors cover a wide variety of subjects including Maths, English, Science, Computing, Languages, Music, Psychology, Business, Economics, Art, Design, Drama and many others. Here is a complete list of subjects you can tutor. We're an all-inclusive platform so whatever you want to teach, there's space for you!
Students vary from primary school children to mature adults looking to pick up a new skill. Whatever age range you teach, or want to teach, Tutorean will give you the opportunity to make a difference.
It is completely free to sign up, create your profile on Tutorean and chat with parents and students. We're committed to providing you with a seamless and supportive tutoring journey, and to grow features you'll love, we need your support! That's why we charge 15% commission for each lesson, the lowest in the UK (and it includes VAT!). So, if you charge £100 for a lesson you will be paid £85. Note that Tutorean is free for parents and students, so we do not charge anything on top for those who decide to book with you.
You can reach our friendly support team through the blue chat icon in the bottom right of the screen, by email on [email protected] and by phone on +44 20 3318 7126. We'd love to hear from you!
Students will usually contact you privately if your profile is a good match, and you can also apply for available roles directly in the 'Tutoring Jobs' tab. In order to climb up the rankings and get more profile views, you can book more lessons, respond quickly to new enquiries (< 1hr) and get as many reviews as possible.
Lessons are typically held in-person at a location and time agreed upon by the student and yourself. You can also set yourself up as an online tutor, which means you can book online lessons and tutor using an existing video platform like Skype or BitPaper. Check out our blog on online tutoring to find out more.
Tutors aren't employed by us, and as a tutor you must register as a self-employed individual to declare your earnings.
Please refer to the HMRC website to register as self-employed.
NB: Please make sure you are eligible to work in the UK on a self-employed basis before applying.
We require your ID to verify your details and comply with money laundering regulations. We can't approve you or process payments without it. Note that we do not view or store you ID, but we do show parents that you are ID verified with a badge in your profile.
Every tutor is different and so are their hourly rates! We'd recommend starting out with a low rate and increasing it as you become more experienced and receive more reviews! To get a sense of how much other tutors are charging in your area, simply click to edit your rate and we'll show you the average.
When considering your hourly rate, do bear in mind that Tutorean charges 15% commission for each lesson. You can choose to set a different price every time you make a new booking: and this can be useful if you need to include things like travel fees on top.
You don't need a DBS but it is something that parents and students value a lot, so it's highly recommended. There are a number of websites where you can apply for an enhanced DBS, such as CRB Direct, Online DBS Checks and DDC. Some companies also offer an update service for £13 per annum which allows your DBS check to remain current, and for the certificate to 'travel around' with you from company to company.
You don't need a teaching qualification to tutor at Tutorean. However, you do need to fill in the education section of your profile with your most recent qualification, whether it be a teaching qualification, a degree or something you obtained at school (e.g A levels). Tutors with higher qualifications such as PhDs, Masters or PGCEs tend to be ranked higher in the search results.
Click here to sign up, which only takes a few minutes. We'll ask which subjects you wish to teach, how far you're willing to travel and how much you'd like to charge per hour. To save time, have your ID ready and a high quality profile photo that clearly shows your face. Once you've submitted your profile, our team will typically review it within 1-2 working days and get back to you if there's anything you need to change.
Once you submit your profile Tutorean, our team will typically review it within 1-2 working days. Profiles that are more complete - including profile videos, reviews and a detailed 'Tutoring Experience' section - will be reviewed first. While you wait to be approved, please fill out our Preference Questionnaire which is a test designed to help you discover your own personality and teaching style! We'll also use the results to match you with students who are a good fit.
We're looking for tutors who want to make a difference and grow with Tutorean to create an awesome platform. With that in mind, we accept about 1 in 3 applications, ensuring only the best are representing Tutorean in the real world! To have the best chance of being accepted, make sure you have a friendly profile photo, a fully complete profile and as many reviews from previous students as possible.
Sadly not :( You must be 18 years of age or older in order to tutor on Tutorean. If you are not old enough, you can always sign up to complete your profile and submit your profile on your 18th birthday!
You can apply to be a tutor if you are an EU passport holder. If you are a non-EU undergraduate student in possession of a Tier 4 Visa it means you can't become self employed, which unfortunately means you can't become a tutor with us.
Go to the login page and click Reset Password. You will be asked to enter your email address and an email with a link to reset your password will be sent to that address.
To delete your account (and break our hearts) you can either log into your account and go to 'Settings' > 'Account' > 'Delete my Account' or send us an email at [email protected]. We're sorry to see you go. :( If there is anything we can do to improve and/or change your mind, please let us know.
You can find the types of notifications you receive in your personal settings. We're working hard to make your tutoring experience as seamless as possible... so we let you know when you've received a new message, or when new jobs come up in your area. If you decide to opt-in, we'll also send you reminders for upcoming lessons and give you tips on how to be a(n even) better tutor!
A passport or driver license. You can also upload a government issued ID, but you will need front and back scanned into a single image. You can upload your ID in your personal settings.
Yes. Your ID bypasses Tutorean and is instead read and stored by our secure payments provider, STRIPE. They use it to cross-reference your profile details to make sure you're a real human, and to ensure we're complying with anti money laundering regs. Your documents will never be shared with Tutorean or anybody else.
In order to change your bank information go to Your Name > Settings > Payments. Scroll down and edit your bank details there. Don't forget to click save once you have finished editing them!
Take your profile offline if you are unavailable for a sustained period of time. This is to ensure efficiency in the tutor search, so that parents are contacting tutors that will be responsive and able to offer their services. Take your profile back online when you are ready to start tutoring again!
You'll be paid directly to your bank account, typically 4-7 days after each lesson.
Please ensure each booking is made through the platform so we can manage and automate your schedule, payments, cancellations & refunds.
We believe you should have complete control over your tutoring business, which is why you set your own hourly rate and can change this at any time.
We aim to make finding a tutor as easy as possible, so we've built our own internal messaging system for you to easily chat with parents and students. We send text notifications whenever you receive a new message, so you don't always have to be logged in to Tutorean! Also, we understand it's sometimes easier just to give each other a call, so once you've booked your first lesson you can freely exchange contact details in the chat.
You can keep track of all your past and upcoming lessons in your "Lessons" tab. You will also be able to see if you have any pending lesson requests that are yet to be confirmed and paid for by your students. Here you may also edit and duplicate lessons, which is a quicker alternative to creating a new booking request for each lesson.
Students can cancel a booking without any charge as long as they do so at least 24 hours before the lesson is due to start.
If your student cancels within 24 hours of the lesson, they will be charged 50% of the total fee and you'll be paid this amount minus commission.
If a student fails to attend a booked lesson, you'll be paid in full.
You may cancel a lesson at any time and in such an event, the student will be fully refunded.
Once all the relevant details for a lesson have been agreed between you and the student (e.g. time and location), it is then up to you to book the lesson by sending a booking request. The student will confirm the lesson by entering their payment details, after which you'll receive a confirmation and the lesson will appear in your schedule. You can edit the booking request should you need to make any changes, as long as it is before the student confirms it.
Before making the booking, please ensure your payment details and identification are up to date in your 'Settings'.
*All lessons must be booked through the Tutorean website. If lessons are paid for outside of the platform, this may result in immediate dismissal from Tutorean. For more information please read our Tutor Policy.
Yes, on the lesson booking screen simply click "Add another lesson". Here you can select a new date/time for future lessons and this will be sent as a package to your student. They can accept the lesson block by paying for all lessons at once: note that you will be paid individually for each lesson after each one's complete.
By going to Messages, you will access the page that has an archive of all your conversations with students and/or parents. Here you can reply to parents who contact you requesting your services. If you want to find a student and message them yourself, you can do so by going to Tutoring Jobs and clicking Message if the job post interests you.
You may delete your conversations by clicking the "x" on the top right hand corner of the chatbox. On mobile, simply click "Show options" to access the delete icon.
Sometimes students post their tutoring request on our job board. These can be easily accessed under the "Tutoring Jobs" tab on the top of the page.
Mention why you're a great fit for that particular subject, backing this up with any relatable experience. Bear in mind you are messaging the student directly, so a warm, personal note will always help!
We don't currently have an online tutoring platform. We're working on it! But other online video conference platforms (such as Skype, Zoom or BitPaper) are always an option. We recommend sorting out the details through Tutorean's messaging platform, booking the lesson and video conferencing away!
Anyone can tutor online. All you have to do is check the "Yes, I am available for online lessons" box in your location settings. For tips on online tutoring, check out our blog post here.
You may as long as you have the student's consent. You may never record anything without the student's prior knowledge and consent.
What do you study / what's your career?
What makes you a great tutor?
What would students and parents want to know about you?
How long have you been tutoring for?
How many students have you taught?
What specific exam boards and age groups have you taught?
What are your biggest successes?
Tagline: this should be a short and engaging summary to promote yourself e.g. "Enthusiastic GCSE Physics and Maths Tutor"
If you haven't tutored before, don't worry, you could write about similar experiences such as mentoring, teaching or volunteering. You may also write why you want to become a tutor, what you are looking forward to most or how will you prepare and structure your lessons.
Your profile photo is one of the first things parents see before it comes to messaging you... so make sure we can clearly see your face, that the photo is as high quality as possible and...try to smile :). Check out this simple guide with more tips on making your Tutorean profile stand out.
Uploading a profile video will roughly double the number of enquiries you receive from parents or students. So, it is important that you take a few minutes to upload a profile video that engages with your audience, and highlights who you are as a tutor and person! Feel free to use your webcam or a tool such as Loom. A profile video will really make you stand out from the crowd.
You should include any qualifications that are specific to the subject(s) you tutor. This can include any teaching qualifications such as QTS or PGCE, your university degree, or any qualifications you received in secondary school such as your A Levels.
You can make yourself available for online lessons by clicking on Your Name > My Profile > Location Preferences > Yes, I am available for online lessons. All you have to do is tick the box.
Get reviews by asking any of your past or current students or parents to submit a review on your profile. You can do this by sharing your unique review link which can be found at the bottom of your profile.
You may have noticed that it's possible to sort tutors by 'Ranking'... but what does this actually mean? Well, Tutorean's own ranking algorithm means that tutors at the top of this search are the highest rated and most in demand.
At Tutorean, we're trying to make the online tutoring sphere more human. We actually meet many of our tutors to try and understand who they are and what they care about.
That means we're confident our tutors are the best we can find and love supporting them, helping them grow to become the best teachers and mentors they can be.
One of the main reasons your profile could be taken offline is if you fail to respond to a student's message within 3 days of having received it. To go back online, all you have to do is click the big green button at the top of your profile. If you believe you have been taken offline for another reason, please don't hesitate to contact our support team.
As a tutor, you might not be available to take on new students, you may be on holiday, or just have a busier than usual schedule. For these reasons, we have created an offline status to help you hide away from new enquiries!
Going offline simply means your profile will no longer show in our search results, which means you won't receive any new enquiries. You will still be able to message and book lessons with your current students.
To change your teaching area or location login to your account and edit your Location Preferences which can be found on your profile. Here you can change your location, travel preferences and you can also make yourself available for online lessons.
Students will be able to find you directly on the search results, as long as their location is inside your teaching area. To rank higher in the search results and increase the number of new enquiries you receive, you can get more reviews, book more lessons, add a profile video and be as responsive as possible to new messages.
Our review team will have given you a default review based on the quality of your profile - this appears as a first review which helps new tutors appear higher in the search results. You can boost your rating by asking students you have taught before to leave a review on your profile. Find this link in the Reviews section of your profile.
Tutorean is a tutoring platform that matches students and private tutors according to their specific needs. By taking a short test, we'll help you discover your personality and learning style, and use AI to match you with tutors whose teaching style is a great match.
We believe this efficient matching process creates a better learning experience for each and every student, and also a more rewarding teaching experience for tutors. Classes can be held face to face or online, with hundreds of subjects available.
Our short and simple profiling test helps you discover your learning profile and find tutors who are a direct match. Alternatively, you can manually search for tutors you think will fit your needs.
Once you've found a tutor, simply send them a message to arrange the finer details and book your first lesson.

The Tutorean platform itself is free to use. That includes everything from searching and contacting tutors to reading our Student Corner blog! When booking a tutor, there are no extra or hidden fees - the rate the tutor displays (or the rate you mutually agree on) is the rate you pay. Simple as that!

You will be able to see each tutor's rate in the right hand side of their profile, and you can also sort the tutors by their price in the search page.
Tutorean is free to use and there are no hidden fees. You simply pay the hourly rate set by the tutor you've chosen.
Lessons are held in-person at a location and time agreed upon by both you and the tutor. Some tutors even prefer to teach online and so offer lessons via Skype, or other teaching whiteboards such as BitPaper.
Once all the relevant details for a lesson have been confirmed between you and the tutor (e.g. time and location,) the tutor will send you a booking request for the lesson. All you have to do is accept the lesson and pay securely via our website.
After paying for the lesson, we recommend that you exchange contact details with your tutor. We'll send you an email and text confirmation with the lesson details, which you can sync to your own calendars in a single click. You can can view past and upcoming lessons in your calendar.
Remember, if you're not happy with how the first lesson went, your first lesson with a new tutor is on us, totally free of charge.
Confirming your lesson means you are accepting the booking request sent from your tutor. In order to do this, you must pay for the booking by clicking 'Confirm Lesson' on the booking request that can be found in your conversation with the tutor.
If a lesson that has been confirmed (paid for) doesn't take place because either you or the tutor faced unforeseen circumstances, the first thing you should do is communicate with your tutor to explain or ask what went wrong.

Before you make any payments, you must first confirm the booking request for the lesson which is sent by the tutor. After you confirm the lesson, you will be prompted to enter your payment details, after which you will be charged automatically. Please note that bookings must be confirmed at least 3 hours before the lesson is due to start, otherwise the payment will not be processed in time, and the lesson cannot go ahead.

Yes, you can request an online tutor by clicking the "Online" tab in the search bar, rather than 'In-Person.' This will narrow your search to tutors that are available to teach online.

We hand-pick tutors from the top universities and educational institutions around the UK, including the University of Oxford and TeachFirst (nearly 40% of our tutors are actually full time qualified teachers in their chosen subject!). New tutors must go through a multi-stage review process, where 1 in 3 are finally selected to join our active community.
Unlike any other platform, we help you discover your personality and learning preferences, and use those to match with tutors who are deeply compatible. This means you'll really get on with your tutor from the get go! And they'll be the perfect fit to inspire you realise your full potential :) On top of that, our vetting process is selective... we accept just 1 in 3 tutors to join our active community. By default, tutors must have a minimum of an A Level or equivalent in their chosen subject, with the majority of tutors having achieved a degree or higher.
At Tutorean, we also understand the value of human interaction. We meet many our tutors in order to better understand who they are and what they care about. That means we're confident our tutors are the best we can find, and that they have our support to consistently exceed your expectations.
We aim to make finding a tutor as easy as possible, so we've built our own internal messaging system for you to easily chat with them. We send text notifications whenever you receive a new message, so you don't always have to be logged in to Tutorean! Also, we understand it's sometimes easier just to give each other a call, so once you've booked your first lesson you can freely exchange contact details in the chat. We recommend continuing to book via the platform, so that we can continue to support you with admin, payments, scheduling, cancellations, etc, and help your tutor grow their business.
If your tutor has stopped replying, we send them notifications to remind them they have unread messages from you automatically. If you wish to reach other tutors quickly, simply 'Request a Tutor' and we'll put the best-matched tutors directly in touch with you. Get in touch with us if you're unsure.


We import 200 million $ worth of sugar into Ghana yearly; yet the completed Komenda Sugar Factory is not producing. We import 1.2 billion rice into Ghana yet a whole Aveyime Rice Project is idle. The Ayensu Starch Factory, the Pwalugu Tomato Factory and the Kumasi Jute Factory are a few of the many Factories lying idle. Instead of employing workers in these already completed factories, the President keeps singing discord melodies on one District one Factory, to deceive Ghanaians.
The CDG-GH with this press release seeks to disuade the Government from excessive borrowing for consumption purposes. When old projects are halted as the case is now, we stand the danger of paying judgement debt. Ghanaians are crying for help. Unfortunately they will not get help until the needed change comes.

Middlebury College Protesters Shut Down Political Scientist2017-03-042017-03-04https://news.unclesamsmisguidedchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/uncle-sams-misguided-children-logo.pngUncle Sam's Misguided Childrenhttps://news.unclesamsmisguidedchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/middleburyprotest.jpg200px200px
A protest at Middlebury College in Vermont got so far out of hand that one professor was injured and had to go to the hospital, and the speaker had to be moved to another location in order to give his speech. That wasn't all, that was just the beginning.
Libertarian Political Scientist Charles Murray had been invited to Middlebury College by a student group. He was met by protesters who immediately turned their backs on him as he stood up to speak. But they didn't do it quietly – they chanted and shouted, and actually proved one of his hypotheses:
"Too many people go to college."
After moving him to a different location and using a TV channel to allow him to be interviewed by Middlebury Prof Allison Sanger, they were whisked away to attempt to load him into an administrator's car.
The Addison Independent reported,
As Stanger, Murray and a college administrator left McCullough Student Center last evening following the event, they were "physically and violently confronted by a group of protestors," according to Bill Burger, the college's vice president for communications and marketing.
Burger said college public safety officers managed to get Stanger and Murray into the administrator's car.
"The protestors then violently set upon the car, rocking it, pounding on it, jumping on and try to prevent it from leaving campus," he said. "At one point a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car. Public Safety officers were able, finally, to clear the way to allow the vehicle to leave campus.
The protesters were so out of control that they grabbed Prof Stanger's hair and jerked her neck so hard she had to go to the hospital. She returned in a neck brace.
"We will not respect a discourse or debate about free speech. These are not ideas that can be fairly debated." Middlebury College protesters
Charles Murray is a controversial figure because of his ideas on intelligence and race.
The Free Beacon reported,
"Murray's notoriety stems from a brief section in The Bell Curve that addressed the state of science on genes, race, and IQ. Murray and his co-author, Harvard psychology professor Richard Herrnstein, stated that IQ is partially hereditable and that the mean scores of different ethnic groups on intelligence tests differ in predictable ways. Both claims were "squarely within the consensus state of knowledge" at the time, Murray has written, citing nearly identical findings from the American Psychological Association.
Nevertheless, Murray has been labelled a "white nationalist" by left-wing advocacy groups. His work has been compared to that of racist eugenicists from the early 20th century."
But he is by far not the most controversial person in the world, and their refusal to let him speak was just another moment when the leftist students refuse to hear anything that doesn't match up with their fully brainwashed personal thought structure.
And they were right…they aren't ideas that can be "fairly debated" because the protesters refuse to debate them. They'd rather shout people down, and chant them to silence in an ignorant display of hostility.
Report from the front: The Middlebury administration was exemplary. The students were seriously scary.

30 Greatest J Cole Quotes Including Lyrics
December 23, 2015 By Quotes for Bros
In 2015 J. Cole embarked on what was one of the greatest hip-hop tours in celebration of the 2014 Forest Hills Drive album. He is one of the hottest hip-hop artists out and came up alongside Kendrick Lamar and Drake. We decided to compile the 30 Greatest J Cole Quotes Including Lyrics, to celebrate his success and the realness he brings as an artist.
Recently Cole announced a four part mini-documentary leading up to the the release of his HBO special that will showcase his homecoming. The documentary shows Cole on his journey after the release of what could be considered his best body of work in 2014 Forest Hills Drive. The album took listeners on a journey through his eyes and also touched upon some pretty impactful social issues occurring right now in the United States.
Cole takes pride in his craft and he is one of the best storyteller rappers that have ever graced the genre. He continues to inspire his fans at the show and has more than enough quotes to inspire them in their everyday life. Fans are also appreciative of Cole's humility as a person. Recently Cole released a project titled, Revenge of the Dreamers II that not only contained new verses from him, but from the artists that he has signed to his Dreamville label. All in all Cole is a special talent and his music speaks for himself. You can check out out 30 Greatest J Cold Quotes Including Lyrics below.
"But for real… One thing I know about myself is that I don't like to give too much of me outside of music. I'm in love with the music. I'm mad grateful to have my dream career of putting words together, flipping samples and making projects that make you feel something."
"I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something's not good enough, and I won't stop until I feel like I've made it. I'm never satisfied."
"Living in a world where bad means good, that explains why the bad hoes attractive, that explains why the bad rappers go platinum"
"I got a life in my grip, she holding tight to my wrist. She screaming: 'Don't let me slip.'"
"I'm here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don't follow what you've been told you're supposed to do."
"Ain't no way around it no more, I am the greatest, a lot of n****s sat on the throne, I am the latest."
"Born sinner, was never born to be perfect."
"Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything – which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things."
"I keep my head high, I got my wings to carry me, I don't know freedom, I want my dreams to rescue me.."
"I gotta do this for me. They tell me life is a test but where's a tutor for me?"
"I feel like the reason people feel like they know me is because I'm giving you myself in the music. There's where the connection comes from; you can't Twitter that."
"To never try is the ultimate fail, but love is wanting more for someone than they want for themselves."
"Teachers treated n****s as if they totally worthless and violent, and hopeless. I saw but never noticed that a college point is right to be 'All you can be' posters."
"Usually I start with a beat, I start making a beat, and my producer side is making the beat. And on a good day, my rapper side will jump in and start the writing process – maybe come up with a hook or start a verse. Sometimes it just happens like that. A song like 'Lights Please' happens like that."
"It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success, hear my words and listen to my signal of distress."
"Armed and dangerous, call the law. Stick to the script, no audible. Country a** n***a with an Audemars. Can't spell the shit but I order more."
"I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn't going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I've ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn't want to do whatever he did. So after that, I switched to Communications."
"I know that everything that glitters ain't gold, I know the sh*t ain't always good as it seems, but tell me til u get it how could you know?"
"I keep a cross on my chest, either that or a vest. Do you believe that Eve had Adam in check?"
"I'm not gonna be bad at anything, and I want to actually be the best at anything I'm doing. So if I'm playing basketball, if I'm taking the SATs, like, there's a competitive spirit behind it. With production, it's the same thing."
"In my own class man, I write my own passes, I hear the shots fired, yeah I see the stones casted, my sh*t is already fire, don't gas it."
"Put a price on my head won't make me run. Try to kill me but it can't be done. Cause my words gon' live forever. You put two and two together Cole here forever."
"My real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl's grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That's my real dream."
"You know the saying, 'fake it til you make it,' me I did the opposite, I made it then I faked it."
"I'm just a man of the people, not above but equal. And for the greater good I walk amongst the evil."
"I now possess the tools as a producer and a songwriter to really just go out and make smashes all day long. I could make an album full of smash records that got pop appeal. But my heart is in hip-hop. My heart is in telling stories. And it's like therapy for me."
"Ain't no hope for the youth, well ain't that the truth, when all your role models either rappin' or they hoop, damn."
"Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever."
"I just feel like, with rappers, there's so much complacency. It's like, 'Oh, I'm a rapper. I'm successful. I make money. That's all that matters.' But there's a lot of stuff going on in the world. Whether or not you're aware of it, it's happening."
"I walk along this long harbor of life and sit on the piers, reflect on my pain and sh*t on my fears."

Well, it definitely colors their 'small town.' We will see a lot of those characters that we met in the first one as citizens of their little town that they live in. That's the place that Ralph loves. So it's definitely an aspect of it.
Back in early August I joined a group of reporters on a trip to Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California for a behind-the-scenes look at Ralph Breaks The Internet, and throughout the day learned all about the world-building behind the upcoming sequel. After multiple presentations, however, I noticed that one aspect of the film not really being discussed was the video game element -- so I brought the subject up later in the day when I had the opportunity to sit down with directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston and producer Clark Spencer.
Considering the amount of incredible world building featured in Wreck-It Ralph, it would have been crazy for the new movie to totally move past it -- and the good news is that it isn't. Litwak's Arcade is where the story begins, reuniting us with not only Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) but the various residents of their games, Fix-It Felix and Sugar Rush.
There is this whole huge plot of online gaming that we didn't talk about today that we will talk about soon - but that's a massive part of this story, is online gaming.
Since August we have heard about a couple of developments with Ralph Breaks The Internet, with one of the most significant being the introduction of the driving game Slaughter Race and its lead character, Shank (voiced by Gal Gadot). It's a very different environment for Vanellope von Schweetz, who is primarily used to driving cars through gumdrop mountains and over chocolate lakes, but the footage that we've seen from the film so far suggests that she will have no problem adjusting to the new, tougher atmosphere.
It's kind of gaming in their little town, and then gaming in the big city.
If you're like us and super excited for Ralph Breaks The Internet, the best possible news we can offer at this point is that the movie is almost here. Disney will be releasing the animated sequel in theaters on November 21st -- and be sure to be on the lookout between now and then for more about the film here on CinemaBlend, as we'll have more interviews coming with the stars and filmmakers.

The History of Canada Goose
Terri Stephens June 10, 2019 Fashion history
The history of Canada Goose started when Sam Tick founded Canada Goose Holdings in 1957. However, he created it under the name Metro Sportswear Ltd. The Polish-Jewish immigrant started the sportswear brand after spending years working as a cutter in other factories. After that, the brand made woolen vests, raincoats, snowmobile suits, and other functional outerwear.
In 1972, Tick's son-in-law. In other words, David Reiss, joined the company and eventually became CEO. Metro Sportswear expanded to 50 employees in the early 1980s. After that, in 1985, David Reiss acquired a majority equity stake in the company. In the following years, the company produced clothing under its own brand "Snow Goose". After that, In the early 1990s, Metro started selling its clothes in Europe. But the name Snow Goose was already in use in Europe. Therefore, Metro sold its European products under the name Canada Goose.

In the future Canada Goose is looking to expand to every part of the world. Thesedays it is a well established brand in both Europe and North America. Eventhough they're already active in Africa, South America and Asia they've yet to be a well established brand. This might because the hefty price of they pieces of clothing. Still they think that continents are worth expanding to and they've announced that they're looking to grow expansionary here in the future.
This was a brief history lesson of the the populair fashion brand. If you've any questions make sure to post them below and I'll do my best to answer them.

Young's modulus, also known as the tensile modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of an elastic material and is a quantity used to characterize materials. It is defined as the ratio of the uniaxial stress over the uniaxial in the range of stress in which Hooke's law holds. In solid mechanics, the slope of the stress-strain curve at any point is called the tangent modulus. The tangent modulus of the initial, linear portion of a stress-strain curve is called Young's modulus. It can be experimentally determined from the slope of a stress-strain curve created during tensile tests conducted on a sample of the material. In anisotropic materials, Young's modulus may have different values depending on the direction of the applied force with respect to the material's structure.
It is also commonly called the elastic modulus or modulus of elasticity, because Young's modulus is the most common elastic modulus used, but there are other elastic moduli measured, too, such as the bulk modulus and the shear modulus.
Young's modulus is named after Thomas Young, the 19th century British scientist. However, the concept was developed in 1727 by Leonhard Euler, and the first experiments that used the concept of Young's modulus in its current form were performed by the Italian scientist Giordano Riccati in 1782, predating Young's work by 25 years.


A survey of NHS workers in England found that over 15% of staff have experienced violence in the past year, with one in seven employees on the receiving end of attacks from patients, relatives and the general public – the highest level in 5 years.
This news comes as Health Secretary, Matt Hancock is set to introduce his NHS Violence Reduction Strategy, a new initiative to tackle the issue of abuse towards medical staff.
As one of the most common causes of workplace accidents, slips, trips and falls were responsible for nearly a third of all non-fatal injuries at work last year.
Falls from height are also the biggest cause of death of workers in the UK, with the number of fatalities having risen by around a third over the past 12 months.
Although falls can't be avoided all together, by maintaining good habits and following the points below the risk to employees can be lowered.
Clean up any spillages promptly and use appropriate signage to warn others of wet floors.
Take your time, don't rush. Many accidents occur when people are trying to do things quickly neglecting their safety.
Wear sensible footwear that have a good grip.
Keep walkways free of obstacles that could become trip hazards, such as boxes or loose cabling.
Look out for uneven surfaces and report dangerous areas, such as potholes or raised ground.
Ensure all work areas including passages and stairways are lit sufficiently.
Inspired by Conflict Resolution Day which falls this week, we take a look at how de-escalation techniques can be used to diffuse potentially threatening situations and what to remember should you find yourself in these circumstances.
Observed in October each year, Conflict Resolution Day is a global event which aims to promote the concept of peaceful resolution and non-violent methods people can use to settle disagreements and conflict.
These techniques are life skills that can be applied in many different scenarios. However they're especially useful when dealing with aggressive behaviour in the workplace; from an aggrieved customer for instance.
Competing – one person 'wins' the argument.
Collaboration – where both parties find a solution that is agreeable to all.
Compromise – both parties give some ground and find a solution that meets halfway.
Withdrawing – avoiding the conflict, either completely or temporarily.
