Chinese yuan seen firmer at 6.5 vs. dollar over next 12 months – Goldman Sachs
In an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia" on Thursday, Timothy Moe, co-head of Asia Macro Research and Chief Asia-Pacific Equity Strategist at Goldman Sachs, believe that the onshore Chinese yuan is expected to strengthen vs. the US dollar in the coming year.
"We've recently firmed up … in particular, our Chinese renminbi forecast from 6.7 to 6.5 on a 12-month view."
"It was one of the firm's "strongest views" for Asian currencies."
"The dollar is in a "structural period of weakening" after being quite strong over the last few years."
"The driver behind this phenomenon was "the loss of US exceptionalism" as factors that previously propped the dollar up, such as relatively better economic growth stateside, have gone into reverse."
"Historical evidence is very, very clear that a strengthening currency is generally supportive for the equity market."
"A strong Chinese yuan would tend to "tilt" one's investment focus more toward the domestic part of the economy where the "real kind of juicy stories."
"The (yuan) would be just an extra tailwind for those ongoing structural themes."

Quality Inn Soon To Be Quality Living At 37th and Quebec
By Cara DeGette
Editor, GPHC
The old signs have been removed and work is underway at the former Quality Inn at 37th Avenue and Quebec Street. Colorado Coalition for the Homeless has moved in, and is converting the old hotel into 139 apartments for people who currently have no home.
Coalition Executive Director John Parvensky provided an overview about the project during the September meeting of Greater Park Hill Community, Inc.
In recent years, the organization has developed 2,000 housing units to provide affordable housing and support services for people who are experiencing homelessness. Their projects in Denver are, among other neighborhoods, in Lowry, at 40th and Colorado Boulevard in Park Hill, and at 20th and Broadway downtown. Generally the projects take about three years, from concept to completion.
As Denver currently has a critical shortage of 27,000 low-income housing units, and the coalition has a current waiting list of 3,600, Parvensky said he and his team jumped at the chance to acquire the now-closed Quality Inn, in northeast Park Hill.
"We see this acquisition as giving us the ability to do in six months what should normally take 36 weeks to do," he said.
The coalition closed on the hotel property in early October. The former hotel rooms are being retrofitted into 300 square-foot micro-units apartments designed to be long-term low-income housing for singles and possibly some couples.
A new fire sprinkler system and new fire alarm system are being installed. "Otherwise it's pretty much in move-in condition," Parvensky said. The previous owners spent about $1/2 million on beds, linens and other essentials.
The project, Parvensky said, is being funded from several sources, including coalition reserve funds, from the Colorado Division of Housing, and from the Denver Housing Authority. Residents will have access to a myriad of services, and the property is large enough to justify a full-time property manager, 24/7 front desk assistance and security. The former hotel is across the street from ample shopping and restaurants, and next to Interstate 70 and public transit.
Parvensky said the plans are to have the new studio apartments partially reoccupied by Thanksgiving, with full occupation by the end of year.
After he finished his presentation, the packed house burst into applause.
"I have been doing this for many, many years, and have been to many, many meetings to explain our programs and what we do," Parvensky said. "I have to say, I've never gotten any applause."
One Park Hill neighbor offered to sweeten the moment with a standing ovation.

The Things You Find in Photos
At first glance, a sailing canoe, circa 1890, but on the forested shore…
… you can see the white pillars of what is today Roosevelt Hall. When this photo was taken, the home was probably owned by William Willetts or Edward Padelford. But the photo holds one more treasure…
… floating in the water, just above this caption, a whiskey bottle. And that's what the sailor is looking down at as he glides by.

Only a Violet
De Cost Smith was born in Skaneateles, at home in Cobweb Cottage on West Lake Street. As a young man, he made his way west, and found himself, one evening in 1884, in a bunkhouse on the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota. It was a simple accommodation: a log house with partitions "as required," and bedsteads of rough boards topped with grass-stuffed mattresses and buffalo robes for warmth.
He later wrote, "We were kept awake a good part of the night by a young fellow with a very fair voice, who entertained his hearers with endless repetitions of 'The Violet I Plucked from Mother's Grave,' though some of them, probably, didn't know whether their mothers were dead or alive, and most of them had never seen a violet."
What fascinates me about this is the ubiquity of the popular song.
Will H. Fox published the sheet music for "A Violet from Mother's Grave" in Philadelphia in 1881. Without benefit of recordings or radio, the song made its way across the Great Plains to serenade De Cost Smith in 1884.
Just four years after that, one night in Whitechapel, London, a prostitute named Mary Jane Kelly, who had spent the evening drinking, was heard singing "A Violet from Mother's Grave" in her room. When morning came, she was found horribly murdered, the fifth and last victim of Jack the Ripper.
One song, making its way around the world, keeping all sorts of company.
A few notes:
De Cost Smith's memories of the American west can be found in his wonderful book, Indian Experiences (1943).
Will Fox's "A Violet from Mother's Grave" was essentially a rehash of "A Flower from My Angel Mother's Grave" by Harry Kennedy, who published his song three years before, in 1878. Kennedy knew about Fox's light fingers, but was more annoyed than angry, as his original version had already earned him a large sum of money.
Cobweb Cottage is today known as The Cove. In 1852, its builder, Reuel Smith, referred to his entire 22-acre estate as The Cove, because it fronted on a small cove on Skaneateles Lake; he referred to the house, a Gothic Revival fantasy by Alexander Jackson Davis, as Cobweb Cottage. The house's original name fell into disuse some time in the early 1920s, and as the estate shrank to the size of a single building lot, its name came to stand for the house alone.

The Krebs, with Thanks to Ethel Larrabee
Ethel Larrabee, a Skaneateles native who now lives in California, recently visited and brought four postcards to the Skaneateles Historical Society, including this card of the Krebs that no one there had ever seen before. The Charles Krebs horns are still hanging over the sideboard, but wallpaper and fresh flowers have warmed up the dining room.
On the back of the card below, please note the cost for boarders. And thank you, Ethel.

Harriette Cady at Roosevelt Hall
In August of 1912, Mrs. Montgomery (Augusta) Roosevelt hosted a musicale at Roosevelt Hall, with pianist Harriette Cady performing. A few days later, Miss Cady performed again in Skaneateles, to benefit the Skaneateles Library Association at its summer bazaar, treating the audience to an evening program of Chopin and Wagner at Library Hall.
Cady was well known in musical and society circles in New York, and a frequent performer in concert halls, hotel ballrooms, and especially the spacious parlors of the wealthy. Augusta Roosevelt was one of her New York patrons as early in 1897. Another Roosevelt with Skaneateles connections was also a patroness of Miss Cady: Mrs. Frederick (Mary Loney) Roosevelt, whose summer home, Roseleigh, is today's Stella Maris. She hosted Miss Cady in New York many times between 1899 and 1904.
Miss Cady was the daughter of Chicago music publisher Chauncey Cady, of Root & Cady. He was also a composer and a music teacher, and his daughter grew up surrounded by music and musicians; when Chauncey sang at home, Harriette would accompany him on the piano. In 1869, she played piano for a singer at a church concert and the Chicago Tribune noted, "a mere child, she is astonishingly proficient on the piano, and played the intricate and close accompaniment with a precision and expression that called out long-continued applause."
In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed most of Root & Cady's inventory, and led to the failure of the company. For a time, Chauncey Cady worked as a regional manager for the W.W. Kimball piano company, based in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1889, he died suddenly in Asheville, N.C., where he had gone for his health.
Harriette's mother, Harriet Havens Cady, was the daughter of a whaling master who shipped out of Sag Harbor and Shelter Island, N.Y., and it was to Sag Harbor that Harriet Cady returned after her husband's death. (The Havens family was socially prominent, and Harriet had some interesting siblings. Her brother Frank made a fortune in the west, and owned thousands of acres in Oakland and Berkeley, California; he still summered at Sag Harbor. Her sister Mary's son, George Sterling, also in California, was a student of Ambrose Bierce, a friend of Jack London, and a famous poet.)
In 1889, Harriette was in New York City, furthering her musical education. One November afternoon she called on William Steinway; she played Steinway pianos and appeared at Steinway Hall, so the conversation could have been about either, or both.
In 1893, Cady went to Vienna to study piano with Theodor Leschetizky, one of the two best known piano teachers in Europe (the other being Franz Liszt). She also studied with Danish composer Ludvig Schytte (whose "A la Valse" Op. 91, No. 7, was dedicated to her) , William Mason (Liszt's first American student) and Max Pinner (another American who studied with Liszt). And she learned two pieces from Ignacy Jan Paderewski (including his "Cracovienne Fantastique").
Cady's European sojourn was well timed: In 1894, she was one of only four Americans to attend a golden jubilee reception for Johann Strauss, the Younger, where Harriette could mingle with the cream of Europe's musical talent, including Johannes Brahms.
In January 1896, Cady returned from Vienna and gave a recital at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Mrs. Frederick Roosevelt was one her patrons. Also in 1896, Cady was part of a group accompanying two vocalists at a recital sponsored by Mrs. Andrew Carnegie.
Cady was to spend the largest part of her career in New York City, but she summered in Sag Harbor at the home of her mother, and was annually persuaded to give a recital for the locals. Also, she gave benefit concerts for the Parish House fund of Christ Church in Sag Harbor.
In 1896, she set a pattern she would follow for years to come – performing at the retreats of the wealthy: in Richfield Springs (1896), Lakewood, N.J. (1896 & 1897), Bar Harbor, Maine (1900), Saratoga Springs (1903), Harbour Grace, Newfoundland (1905), and many appearances in East Hampton.
When her uncle, Frank Havens, opened the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, she traveled to California to do two recitals for him, lending the proper tone to his latest enterprise.
As a pianist, it was not her fate to pack the largest halls and perform with symphony orchestras. The critics were as kind as they could be; one writer for the New York Times noted, "Miss Cady, as we have had occasion to say ere now, is a conscientious and painstaking pianist, who has no special call to spread the gospel of beauty in the highways." Another wrote, "Miss Cady brings seriousness and intelligence to her work, but she lacks the vigor and warmth necessary to making her playing thoroughly interesting." And then there was this one: "Miss Cady has a good rhythmical sense. Her tone qualities are most of two kinds and lacking in the nuances which shading in good playing demands."
But "good society" adored her, and it is significant that her concerts were cited more often on the Society pages than on the Music pages. Newspapers described Cady as "widely known in society" and her audiences as "fashionable." One writer noted, "The piano recital given in the East Room of the Waldorf-Astoria by Miss Harriette Cady yesterday was so largely attended that many were compelled to sit in the adjoining room."
She played little jewel box theaters, venues like the East Room and the Myrtle Room at the Waldorf Astoria, and the music rooms of the wealthy where a Steinway piano, Miss Cady, and some chairs created instant culture. And because she was society, she was a perfectly acceptable guest after the music gave way to tea and cakes.
Her 1912 visit to Skaneateles, with a musicale at Roosevelt Hall and a benefit for the library, was perfectly in keeping with her style.
She did at least one wedding: the at-home union of William Bridgham and Honorine Vail, where she played Wagner selections including the "Treulich geführt" ("Bridal Chorus") and, at the request of the groom, the "Lied an den Abendstern" ("Song to the Evening Star").
Cady was big on Wagner transcriptions, by Franz Liszt or Louis Brassin, but her repertoire was not made up of trusty war horses alone. She played many works by lesser known composers, young composers, even American composers. Say what you will about her technique; you can not deny her courage.
After a New York concert, a critic wrote that Cady "made a record probably in playing not one hackneyed piece in sixteen numbers." Among the composers that evening were Amy Beach, Sir Hubert Parry, Frank Bridge, Cyril Scott, Isidor Philipp, Zygmunt Stojowski and Anton Arensky.
She deftly balanced the old and new. At a piano recital at the Princeton Inn (student tickets 50 cents), she played the music of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Tchaikovsky and Carl Maria von Weber, along with pieces by Emil Sjögren, Anton Arensky and Moritz Moszkowski.
Other composers she favored included Brahms, Handel, Jean Sibelius, Josef Hofmann, Felix Mendelssohn, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Borodin, Ede Poldini, Christian Sinding, Louis-Claude Daquin, Edward MacDowell, Florence Parr Gere, Frank Howard Warner, Charles-Valentin Alkan, and her teacher, Theodor Leschetizky. She had a repertoire of challenging pieces – more than 40 of which are still being performed and recorded today – and was a serious musician, if not a star.
She was a generous performer, sharing the stage over the years with vocalists, cellists, violinists, dancers, and even a lecturer on Edvard Grieg, for whom she performed musical examples. (On one occasion she shared the bill with Anna Vernon Dorsey, a young Washington writer who did stories and songs in Southern Negro dialects; Cady might have had a chat with her agent after that one.)
Cady also composed for the piano, and adapted orchestral pieces. In 1911, after the visiting Imperial Russian Balalaika Orchestra made the "Song of the Boatman of the Volga" a hit in the states, Cady scored it for piano and her sheet music sold like hotcakes. Also in the Russian vein, she published "Fair Minka," a transcription of a Cossack folk song. She was also known for her "Chinese music" which included her own composition, "Danse Orientale a La Chinoise," and transcriptions of Chinese folk music.
A few of her actual performances survive on piano rolls for player or "reproducing" pianos. Catalogs list her own "Sian Chok (Spring Song)," "Old Chinese Lullaby," "Song of the Volga Boatmen," "Ay-Ay-Ay (A Creole Song of Spain)," and "Dance Orientale," as well as her performances of Arensky's "Etude Op.25, No. 3," Tchaikovsky's "Meditation," Alexander Scriabin's "Nocturne in F sharp minor" and Anatoly Lyadov's "Dance of the Mosquito."
In the 1920s, Cady performed on the new medium, radio, and she continued to give concerts into the 1930s. She died at Sag Harbor in 1944.
The photos of Miss Cady are from the New York Times.

The Priority Habitats Inventory data on MAGIC is not definitive.
They have a lot more data still on paper that they can't afford to digitize.
Some of the data is obviously crap or out of date, but they can't afford to check it and change it.
Other organisations have better data, at a local level, that may not be on the MAGIC site.
The data is so poor that it is impossible to check whether Priority Habitats are being destroyed.
Let's run that last one again…there is no way of knowing at a national level whether National Priority Habitats are being destroyed year on year.
I asked the responsible politician to investigate a specific legal issue involving the supporting information for creating a SSSI, the National Statistics mark, and the England Biodiversity Figures.
Example of the Coastal and Floodplain Grazing Marsh layer being obviously crap. The layer is information from 1976 before the shopping centre was created but 'fitted' to the modern map. Ironically there is some saltmarsh adjacent to the brown markings (mudflats); it's not present on the database layer for saltmarsh but it is a Local Wildlife Site.
Back in early August I contacted the environmental statistics department at Defra because I felt that they hadn't actually understood what their data was revealing about Priority Habitats.
I wrote …"on page https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/england-biodiversity-indicators and the section 2a on Priority habitats. You have included a caveat in the Background section to 2a.1. Extent of priority habitats for the Indicator Assessment on Extent of Priority habitats, saying that (to paraphrase) due to the way the data is recorded that you don't actually know the extent of the habitat and so can't assess any change in extent.
Example of data being out of date; what was apparently Lowland Meadow in 1991 but you can see clearly from the photo has since been ploughed up.
"1) There have been three published versions of the Priority Habitats Inventory which represent improvements in our mapping of the extent of priority habitats in England. In order to provide a consistent baseline for reporting on the condition of priority habitats (Biodiversity 2020 indicator 2a.2) version (1) of the inventory has been used each time. The figure of 1.87 million hectares reflects this baseline extent and, as per indicator 2a.2, the condition of this overall area of priority habitat is improving.
2) There are uncertainties over calculating the exact extent of priority habitat in England, which are reflected in the caveats outlined below. This does however include elements of under-reporting (where areas of priority habitat have yet to been included in the national inventory) as well as over-reporting (where the exact extent of the habitat within a land management unit has not been mapped).
For parts of the country, or for specific habitats, there may be more recent or better quality data available, such as that held by local partners, which Natural England has either not had access to or permission to publish. We also still hold datasets that have not yet been processed for inclusion in the Priority Habitats Inventory and which will be included in future updates.
The quality of the inventory is variable: some polygons are derived from recent survey with habitat boundaries mapped accurately and high confidence in the determination of the habitat. However, for other polygons the information available may be insufficient to confidently confirm the presence of priority habitats.
In some cases habitats may not have been mapped in the original data, such as where the original inventory polygons originate from a point dataset, database or from local wildlife site citations (see Table 2 and Table 4 for information on sources), so the site boundary or land parcel has been used as a proxy for the extent of the habitat.
4) To summarise: The new priority habitats' inventory does not allow for assessing changes to the extent of habitats, as changes to the inventory itself would represent improvements in current knowledge of the extent of priority habitats, rather than actual changes in the extent of habitats. As a result, no assessment of change has been made. Defra, Natural England and JNCC are working to improve the quantity and quality of data on priority habitats, for example by improving standards for habitat mapping, and by investing in research that is developing new methods that combine satellite, remote sensing and field data to provide better information on the stock and change in habitats.
Not Lowland Meadow, but "good quality semi-improved grassland"… except that was in 1991…Natural England's own photos show it's been ploughed up and is now arable land.
I've written (26 Nov) to the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Environment – who is, at present, Thérèse Coffey MP – and asked that the matter be investigated and that I am informed of the outcome. (I actually used the defrahelpline email rather than the MP email as I thought the email should be in the Defra capacity rather than their MP capacity so hopefully someone will forward it on). I copied in the National Statistics people and they have already replied and are investigating.
Don't get me wrong here, the MAGIC site is really amazing – it's only because it is there and easy for me to use that I can point to evidence of lack for funding in mapping the extent of our shared national cultural heritage of Lowland Meadow plant communities. It just needs better funding.
And by way of comparison, this is the extent of Ancient Woodland in my area.
Travel with me and wonder at what you see - plants and mountains, for the most part!

Q: How to unit test API in Xcode that requires authenticated state? I need to test API that assume you have already gone through OAuth and obtain access_token.  How do I create unit tests for such API in Xcode without having to run OAuth login first before each test?
Can I create test cases for OAuth and ensure they run first (and persist access token somewhere) before these API tests are run?

A: I would think if the API belongs to you, then injecting an authentication component that can be mocked in the unit test is an appropriate design. If the API doesn't belong to you, then your unit tests only need to verify how you process the response from the API. The API itself can be mocked.

The 2045 MTP is required to be a financially feasible document. The projects approved for inclusion in the MTP must demonstrate that the expected year of expenditure project cost will not exceed the anticipated revenue available between 2018 and 2045.
The 2025 horizon year consists primarily of projects fully or partially funded in the draft 2018-2027 Transportation Improvement Program. The 2035 and 2045 horizon years are programmed based on how well projects score using CRTPO's Roadway Ranking Methodology.
Based on the approved ranking methodology and revenue assumptions, all candidate projects were scored and cost estimates were produced. A draft fiscally-constrained project list was developed with the assistance of the Roadway Ranking Review Committee by prioritizing projects based upon their two-tiered MTP score and cost estimates relative to the amount of funding available within each STI tier. The list covers the MTP's three horizon years: 2025; 2035; 2045.
An important component of the project list's preparation is that Federal regulations require that MTPs be financially constrained. This means that it must be demonstrated that the proposed investments are reasonable in the context of anticipated future revenues over the life of the plan.
A public comment period was held in August 2017 regarding the recommended fiscally constrained project list for the 2045 MTP. A total of 257 comments were received through e-mails and from the online interactive map regarding projects proposed for inclusion in the 2045 MTP's fiscally constrained project list.

Monthly household income up to RM6,000, Khazanah report says
Average monthly household income rose from RM5,000 in 2012 to RM6,141 in 2014, the Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) revealed in a report today.
The report titled "The State of Households (SOH II)" focused on three topics: household and food, women in the workforce, and population ageing.
"In general, we see that households are better off as the year also saw a higher median household income from RM3,626 in 2012 to RM4,585 in 2014," KRI managing director Datuk Charon Mokhzani said.
Charon noted, however, that there were disparities in income levels based on location, with states such as Kelantan and Perak 84.8 per cent and 81.1 per cent earning below the national average.
Cities and urban areas were also more likely to have households reporting above average incomes, with 64.4 per cent in Kuala Lumpur and 62.9 per cent in Putrajaya taking home more than RM6,141 every month.
"Disparities in wealth that are measured by EPF and ASB (Amanah Saham) savings are also more pronounced and there is concern that many will not have saved enough for their retirement years," he said.

This could be exacerbated by another finding in the report, which showed that average life expectancy was now 77.4 years on average for women and 72.5 years for men, up from 65.5 and 61.6 respectively for both genders in 1970.
On unemployment, he said there was also an above-average concentration among young Malaysians.
"Youth unemployment rate stood at 3.5 per cent, compared to the national unemployment rate of 3.1 per cent in 2015," Charon said.
He declined to forecast, however, the direction of household income for this year following a continued global economic slowdown.
Moving forward, Charon said changes should be made to ensure that Malaysians are financially sufficient. These included redefining the current retirement age, strengthening preventive health measures and balancing assistance between the needs of elderly and the youth.
"Both, the elderly and youth need assistance so the government will need to be fair to both parties," Charon said.

    //если полученный код равен тому который мы передали
    if (requestCode == 1993) {
        StringBuilder myText = new StringBuilder();
        try {
            Uri uri = data.getData();
            String adress = data.getDataString();
            File file = new File(new URI(adress));
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            String line;
            String name = file.getName();

            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                myText.append(line);
                myText.append('\n');

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

A: Попробуйте так к примеру:
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(br.readLine()), "Cp1251");
    System.out.println(in.getEncoding());
    char show[] = new char[100];
    in.read(show, 0, 100);
    System.out.println(show);

С помощью available() можно узнать точный размер txt и использовать, но это уже зависит от того, что вам нужно. Будет выглядеть примерно так:
char buf[] = new char[fileIn.available()];
in.read(buf,0,fileIn.available());
System.out.println(buf);

Или вот такой вариант:
        FileInputStream fileInput = new FileInputStream("FILE_NAME");
        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fileInput, "Cp1251"));
        String line = null;
        while ( (line=r.readLine())!=null) {lines.add(line);}
        r.close();
        System.out.println(lines);

A: Решил я данную проблему с помощью класса IOUtils.
В gradle подключаем библиотеку compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-io:1.3.2'
И собственно сам код:
 InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file),"Cp1251");
            String theString = IOUtils.toString(in);

One in 10 Americans over age 12 find themselves dealing with addiction. For the millions of people living with the chronic condition, an important part of the recovery process is not simply seeking treatment, but maintaining a healthy life post-addiction. Both for those who are newly sober and those who have been in recovery for years, going back to normal life afterwards is difficult. The routine aspects of everyday living – such as renting a home – can be limited by a number of different factors. In addition, environmental factors including your home environment can influence your recovery. Therefore, it is important that your home is somewhere that supports your recovery journey.
Most people in recovery find themselves having to deal with the financial complications of their addiction. Poor financial decisions under the influence and drug-related debt can impact your finances, including earnings and savings. This takes time to repay, and can hamper your credit references and score. In addition, some people who seek treatment find themselves unable to pay for a market value rental or mortgage immediately after leaving the treatment facility. New to the job market, it will take at least a few months to become financially stable. With the housing shortage and rising prices, it may seem like a daunting task when trying to find accommodation in recovery. However, there is help available, and more options than you can imagine, all aimed at helping you get your life back on track.
One of the first options to consider is recovery housing. There are two alternatives: a halfway house and sober living facilities. Both of them are suited for different stages of your recovery. While similar in some regards, a halfway house is more closely aligned with a treatment program, and focuses on separating a recovering addict from harmful environments or triggers. They also come with a time limit for residents; most of them allow stays between 3 and 6 months. This type of housing is aimed at people currently in treatment or newly sober. While there are many government funded halfway houses, there are also private alternatives, such as The Florida Model. Some facilities also include additional support, such as career help services to help you get back into employment.
Sober living housing, on the other hand, is a further step in your reintegration into society. They provide support, but do not have time limits on your stay, which means you can stay there until you have worked and saved enough to get your own home. In short, it is a long term alternative for those who prefer to have the support of a halfway home, including peer support. When choosing a sober living home, consider the extent of structure and independence it provides. Some people just coming out of rehab can become accustomed to the routine and structure a treatment program provides. It is also important to take into account the accountability measures in place, such as drug testing and the consequences of relapsing.
You can also opt to rent a room or converted apartment from private landlords. They work on a similar premise to renting your own apartment, with the inclusion of standard rules such as no alcohol or drug use, a curfew and landlord secured policies against late payment from tenants. As owners of a private sober home, the landlords are required to undergo training to equip them with the proper tools and knowledge to help you reintegrate into society, so you can be sure of having support during your ongoing recovery. You can also rest assured that your addiction will not hinder your chances of securing the flat, since those dealing with mental illness and addiction are protected under the Fair Housing Act, which bans discrimination based on disability.
However, you should take the time to consider your immediate finances and whether you will be able to comfortably meet the rent payments each month. Stress, including financial stress, is one of the top factors in addiction relapse. If you are doubtful of renting on your own, there is the option of subletting with friends as a roommate. This gives you a break on rent costs compared to renting your apartment alone, and gives you the support of friends and family close by.
There are also housing models in place that are aimed at helping recovering addicts. The permanent supportive housing program offers low-cost permanent housing options to those looking to maintain a stable home or who may find themselves homeless after treatment. This is particularly applicable to you if you were renting before seeking help. In a United States Conference of Mayors survey, 68 percent of the 25 participating cities listed substance abuse as the number one reason for homelessness in their city. By removing the high cost and other barriers for people, it allows you to be in a better position to rebuild your life and continue to seek treatment if needed.
Recovering from addiction or mental health problems can be an incredibly long and grueling journey, but it is one that is worth it. On your path to complete health and well-being, having a safe place to call home is acutely important, and these options can help you find that place.
A very informative piece. I am sure it can help many grsppling with this dilemma.
Fantastic post. I'm so looking forward to reading your other posts. Thank you.

Isobel Connolly, Dietician in paediatric gastroenterology, wins prestigious dietitian recognition award
Isobel Connolly, Dietician in paediatric gastroenterology, has won a prestigious dietitian recognition award from Dr Falk-Pharma and Guts UK charity.
She has been awarded this for her workplace initiative: the establishment of a dietetic-led clinic for the management of paediatric patients with coeliac disease (CD), and evaluation of the service pre and post change to the clinic structure.
Isobel said: "The two aims of my project were to provide CD paediatric patients (and their parents) with the opportunity to provide service feedback and it to improve the service. The second aim was to establish a streamlined service for paediatric patients by changing the management of their condition to a minimum of one clinic appointment per year with a gastroenterology dietitian, with the opportunity to refer them to a paediatric gastroenterologist if required.
"I am delighted to win the dietitian award and prize. It is an acknowledgement of the long hours of work that I have put into this project. Being involved in this process has helped me to commit to a continued role in service improvement and research that contributes towards my MSc in Paediatric Dietetics – alongside my clinical work."
Well done Isobel!
Nothing to show yet.

Q&A: Does Ann Summers Franchise in the UK?
Published on 31/12/2021 16:00:00
If you're interested in starting an empowering, sex-positive business run by women, then an Ann Summers franchise will be right up your street. The well-known brand sells some of the most popular lingerie available in the UK. But does Ann Summers franchise, and can you become a franchisee? Read on, and find out.
Becoming your own boss is just one of the many advantages of starting a franchise business in the thriving UK retail industry, particularly if you do so with a true household name like Ann Summers. If you'd like to know more about Ann Summers franchise opportunities, you're in the right place.
Does Ann Summers franchise in the UK?
If you're interested in opening an Ann Summers sex shop, you'll be delighted to hear that this big brand name does franchise in the UK. Ann Summers shops are a mix of in-house businesses and franchised retail locations, and all franchise spots are mutually chosen based on their potential for foot traffic. Get in touch via Point Franchise (or directly on the Ann Summers website), and the team over at Ann Summers will be delighted to welcome you to the vast network as a franchisee.
The history of Ann Summers lingerie and Ann Summers sex toys
Ann Summers is a long-established and hugely popular brand in the UK, and the franchise has been helping women to look and feel sexier on a regular basis since it was first founded in 1970, under the ownership of Michael 'Dandy Kim' Caborn-Waterfield. Dandy named the store after Annice Summers, his female secretary and rumoured mistress, and it started its life as a true blue sex shop.
A year later, in 1971, Ralph and David Gold acquired Ann Summers and pivoted it from a simple sex shop into a full-on high-street brand name and lingerie boutique. In 1981, David's daughter Jacqueline joined the business - and remains the current Chief Executive. As of 2021, there are over 140 Ann Summers chains open for business across the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands, and in 2018, the company brought in £110 million in revenue [Statista].
At Ann Summers we are the celebratory voice of all women who want to be strong, fun, sexy, smart, and empowered. We have over 87% brand awareness but in case you don't know us, we are the largest high street retailer of lingerie and sex toys in the UK and no brand speaks to more women on a daily basis about sex and wellness than us.

What's the Total Cost of Running a Retail Franchise?
Start a franchise in the sex shop sector with your own Ann Summers retail store
Now you understand the history of the business, it's time to really delve into the finer franchise details and determine whether it might be a good fit for you. So, here are the three questions that you'll need answered (and their answers, of course) before you can dive into a franchise investment with Ann Summers...
1. How do you go about becoming an Ann Summers franchisee?
If you'd like to open your own Ann Summers store, you can request more information on Ann Summers' Point Franchise profile page, linked at the top of this article. Note, before you do, that Ann Summers states that their ideal franchisee should be: Committed to the brand's promise, committed to quality control and passionate about the work of running an Ann Summers location.
They should also be experienced in the retail industry, in possession of good managerial skills, and in possession of enough working capital to get their Ann Summers unit up and running. In short, if you're a sales-oriented person with plenty of energy and enthusiasm and a background in retail management, you'd be the perfect Ann Summers franchisee.
I think you have to be a people person – [you] have to want to bring people together to achieve your goals – it's rare that anything only ever involves you and your direct team. It's also important to want to learn constantly as the environment changes rapidly and you need to be willing to [adapt].
2. How much do you need to invest?
If you're interested in starting a franchise, it's worth noting that the costs can vary substantially depending on the brand's name, size and location. The average cost of starting a franchise was £42,200 in 2018 [British Franchise Association], but given that Ann Summers is such a hugely recognisable name with a highly proven franchise model to its name, it shouldn't surprise you to know that if you want to become an Ann Summers franchisee, it'll cost you a little more...
To the tune of a minimum initial investment of £120,000 and a total investment of £200,000, to be exact. If this isn't something you can swing but you love the idea of launching a retail store, don't fear - lower-cost alternatives are available, too. Noa Noa, for instance, is a slow fashion franchise targeted at the modern Bohemian woman, and you can invest for a minimum initial amount of £40,000.
3. What do you get for your investment?
After investing in this sex toy and lingerie UK high street giant, you'll benefit from a highly comprehensive and carefully-honed franchise package, inclusive of a full, month-long training programme (detailing sales info, marketing info, recruitment advice, software usage demos, merchandising guidance and more) and all the ongoing support and advice that you could possibly require. You'll also receive constant updates from Ann Summers head office on new promos, products and retail industry/sex sector developments.

Shiny-Brite ornaments are a perfect example of Mid-Century Christmas decorations. The great ad, above, is from 1966.
These ornaments date back a little earlier, though. The first Shiny-Brite ornaments were made in 1937 by Max Eckhardt. He worked with the Corning Glass Company to produce them. These ornaments were originally sold at Woolworth dime stores.
Shiny-Brites were popular during the 1940's - World War II vintage - because they were American made. The 1940's box top featured Santa Claus shaking hands with Uncle Sam.
The ornaments were originally manufactured in New Jersey. They were sprayed inside with silver nitrate and then they were lacquered so they truly had a shiny and bright appearance!
Not all vintage glass ornaments are Shiny-Brites. You will recognize them by the Shiny Brite name on the metal ornament capper. During World War II this capper was made of cardboard because of war time manufacturing restrictions.
This 1956 Sears catalog page features Shiny-Brites galore. The variety of designs was fabulous -- balls, tear drop shapes, bell shapes, indents, birds, and more!
The company stopped production in the 1970's. However, in recent years Christopher Radko has started producing Shiny-Brite ornaments, and his selection is always lovely.
Do you remember Shiny-Brite ornaments? Were there any of these beauties on your childhood Christmas tree? I would love to hear from you in the comments, below.
I don't remember Shiny-Brite ornaments, I might be too young, but I enjoyed learning about them!
Yes, I think my mother had some of these for our tree. But I never knew there was anything special about them. How interesting that things we assume are just ordinary become part of history. Thanks for sharing this interesting story.
What a wonderful memory. My mother had all Shiny Brites for our tree growing up.
How beautiful these ornaments were! I have to admit though, with a little one I'm very thankful for today's pretty, shatter proof ornaments. These would make a lovely old fashioned tree.
I love vintage EVERYTHING!! These are so pretty!
I recently mentioned the Shiny Brite ornaments in a blog post. I still have some hanging on my tree that belonged to my Grandma. Sweet memories.
They are such pretty ornaments! I really like them!
Ooh, they're so pretty, but I've never heard of them before! I love the look of them!
Thanks for visiting! I loved reading your comments, and enjoyed your Shiny-Brite memories.
I have some Shiny Brites on my tree and I've sold quite a few over the last 10 years. thanks for a great "walk down memory lane"

12 OKR Tips from Google, LinkedIn, Twitter & Intel
By Emily Bonnie, January 14, 2015
Everybody sets goals. But success hinges on the ability to execute them. The OKR planning method is all about distilling your goals, focusing on the most important ones, and then following through.
OKRs were first developed in the 1970s at Intel by then-president Andy Grove, who wanted to answer two questions: Where do we want to go, and how will we know we're actually getting there? His colleague John Doerr learned the method and later spread it to Google and other top Silicon Valley companies.
If you've learned the details of OKRs but aren't sure how best to implement them at your own company, check out these 12 tips from top execs on adopting OKRs successfully.
John Doerr, VC at Kleiner Perkins & former Intel salesperson
Tip 1. Be patient. You probably won't perfectly nail the OKR process the first time you try it. There's usually a trial-and-error period, so don't be surprised (or discouraged) if it takes your company a couple of quarters to really figure it out, or if the process doesn't pan out exactly the way you expected.
Tip 2: Find an OKR champion. Identify someone (ideally someone in leadership) who's 100% supportive of OKRs and fully understands them, and enlist them to help educate the rest of the team. They can assist with tracking and grading progress and help fine-tune the process.
Tip 3: Go all in. OKRs need to become part of your company culture and DNA. New employees should be trained in the process, all OKRs should be public, and grade and progress reporting should be prioritized. That's how the process becomes successful and sustainable.
Tip 4: No dictators. There must be consensus on collective team and company OKRs, so that they're supported across the entire organization.
Tip 5: Ideas should flow up as well as down. Although every team member should link their goals to corporate objectives, corporate goals should also be inclusive of ideas created at the individual level. This keeps senior leadership in tune with the organization, and it gives individuals ownership over what they'll be working on day in and day out.
Rick Klau, Partner at Google Ventures
Tip 6: Get everyone on board. Everyone. A half-hearted effort will fall flat and is a waste of time, so make OKRs a commitment company-wide. Leadership in particular needs to make it clear that OKRs matter. Check out this email from a Google product manager calling out his team members who hadn't yet posted OKR grades:
Tip 7: Find tools that support visibility. Decide what you'll use to capture OKRs and how they'll be shared — whether it's Google docs, internal Wikis, or another collaboration tool. If you're a Wrike user, take a look at this how-to guide for using OKRs in Wrike.
Tip 8: Keep the process lightweight. Don't weigh it down with heavy documentation or a tedious series of unnecessary meetings. You should be doing the work, not talking about doing the work.
Tip 9: Always check the big picture. Draft your personal/team OKRs, then check them against company OKRs to make sure it's all contributing to high-level objectives.
Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn CEO
Tip 10: Use OKRs to make your mission actionable. Too often a company's mission is vague, or just a banner taped to the wall. Use OKRs to make your mission real, feeding your company's culture and sense of purpose. Link your objectives directly to your company mission, where the means are clearly defined as key results. It will keep the entire company unified and moving in the right direction.
Tip 11: Show individuals that they matter. Effective leaders show how each person in the company can make a real difference when it comes to achieving high-level goals — every day and every quarter. So when you meet to define individual OKRs, make sure they support important company objectives in a tangible way to keep every employee engaged and motivated.
Dick Costolo, Twitter CEO
Tip 12: Prioritize communication. Remember that OKRs aren't just a way to measure progress: more importantly, they're a communication vehicle that shows other teams what you're working on and what you're trying to accomplish. Make sure teams are looking at each other's OKRs and talking about them in order to encourage collaboration.

Q: Cравнение в линейном списке Недавно разобрался с линейным списком и у меня возник вопрос. Я обьявил текстовую строку (char s[] = "1234566\n";), загнал ее в список. Хочу сравнивать элементы списка (1, 2...), но никак не получается. Компилятор выдавал разные ошибки, в основном - не стыковка типов, вот код функции сравнения:
// запоминаем адрес начального элемента

Node * temp = head;

while (temp != 0)
{
    if ((int)temp==1)
    {
        cout<<"Habe sie\n";
    }

    temp = temp->next;
}

if((int)temp==1) - что сюда писать? чтобы при прохождении цикла комп увидел в 1234566 две шестерки(66) и выдал текст? Если можно, объясните по подробней. Спасибо.
A: Node * temp = head;

while (temp != NULL) // или null_ptr
{
   if (temp->value==1)
   {
     cout<<"Habe sie\n";
   }

   temp = temp->next;
}

Примерно так. Не забывайте, что temp - это всего лишь указатель. Т.е. адрес в памяти. Адреса в памяти вообще не очень осмысленно сравнивать, кроме одного случая - проверить, что оба указателя ссылаются на один объект (зачастую это бывает один из крайних случаев, который нужно обрабатывать отдельно). Поэтому нужно сравнивать temp->value (или как оно там у Вас называется), т.е. сами значения, которые хранятся в каждом из элементов списка.
P.S. если у вас Сишный стиль, то для поиска в строке придется искать ф-цию strstr. Если используете C++ и std::string для строк, то можно или вручную перебирать, или
string::find
A: Если temp->value - символ, то при сравнении не приводите его значение к типу int, вы же так получите его аски-код. сравнивайте символы
if (temp->value=='1')

задача нечетко поставлена - вм нужно убрать все повторения символов? ну сравните текущий элемент со следующим, что то вроде
if (temp->value == temp->next->value )
    temp->next=temp->next->next;

WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of debate and negotiation, Congress voted final approval Wednesday to a massive farm bill that will provide more than $400 billion for agriculture subsidies, conservation programs and food aid.
The House voted 369-47 for the legislation, which sets federal agricultural and food policy for five years, after the Senate approved it 87-13 on Tuesday. It is now headed to the desk of President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it.
The measure reauthorizes crop insurance and conservation programs and pays for trade programs, bioenergy production and organic farming research. It also reduces the cost for struggling dairy producers to sign up for support programs and legalizes the cultivation of industrial hemp.
One thing the bill doesn't include: tighter work requirements for food stamp recipients, a provision of the House bill that was celebrated by President Donald Trump but became a major sticking point during negotiations.
Another contentious piece of the House's original legislation, relaxing restrictions on pesticide use, also didn't make it into the final text.
Conaway championed the stricter work requirements, and fought to restrict the ability of states to issue waivers to exempt work-eligible people. The House measure also sought to limit circumstances under which families who qualify for other poverty programs can automatically be eligible for SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and earmarked $1 billion to expand work-training programs.
The bill does increase funding for employment and training programs from $90 million to $103 million.
The original House bill failed during its first floor vote when 30 GOP members blocked it over an unrelated immigration issue. It passed a second time around, but without any support from Democrats, who insisted they wouldn't vote for a bill with the new work requirements included.
The House and Senate also clashed over portions of the bill's forestry and conservation sections.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the bill will help producers "make decisions about the future, while also investing in important agricultural research and supporting trade programs to bolster export." But he voiced disappointment over the failed changes to work requirements.
"While I feel there were missed opportunities in forest management and in improving work requirements for certain SNAP recipients, this bill does include several helpful provisions and we will continue to build upon these through our authorities," he said.
The bill maintains current limits on farm subsidies, but includes a House provision to expand the definition of family to include first cousins, nieces and nephews, making them eligible for payments under the program.

History of Apple (1993 – 1994)
But by the mid nineties Apple were overpriced, and the majority of its products consisted of rehashes of the 1984 Macintosh with different improvements. Many competing products beat the Macintosh in performance, and their prices were much better. The company lost money in 1994, and 1995, 1996, 1997 followed suit . Even more, in the first quarter of 1997 Apple stock hit a 12-year low of $4 and the company reported a $708 million loss, and Microsoft (!) invested $150 million to save its competitor from disaster.

June 28 1993: The LC 520 computer is released. It was Apple's attempt to create a viable all-in-one computer for the 90s. The device came in an attractive new one-piece case, sold for $2,000 and proved to be a popular home model. Many 520-style Macs have been produced since. The LC 520 was also released as the Performa 520. The 500 series included four main models, the 520, 550, 575, and 580, with the 520 and 550 both using different speeds of the Motorola 68030, and the 575 and 580 sharing the 33MHz Motorola 68LC040 processor. The models differed however on the rest of the hardware. The LC models in particular became very popular in schools for their small footprint, lack of cable-clutter, and durability. The Macintosh TV is closely related to this series, using the same case (in black instead of platinum) and a logic board similar to the Macintosh LC 550. The compact Color Classic series shares many components, and is able to swap logic boards, with the early 500 series machines.
The Macintosh LC 520 (codename: "Hook") was introduced in June 1993, and was the first of the LC 500 series. The LC 500 case design was larger than the compact Macs, with a significantly larger screen.

GOAL SETTING: Your Indiana Jones Moment | Inspiring Innovations, Inc.
The Indiana Jones movies starring Harrison Ford were some of my favorite movies of all time. It was always "attention-getting" to watch Indiana Jones find clues, partner with unique characters, use non-traditional options/opportunities and keep a positive attitude as he found his way to whatever treasure he was seeking. And even when he attained the special item he worked so hard to find…he often was "rewarded" with the realization that his success brought forward a brand-new challenge!
Well believe it or not…the actions of personal or organizational GOAL SETTING can be YOUR Indiana Jones Moment!
First, when GOAL SETTING it is always important to review your past achievements and challenges in the form of Indiana Jones style clues to help you decide where you need to go next. What actions caused you to smile…no matter the work involved…when you saw a positive outcome? What pursuits required you to use many of the progressive skills, learning and experience from your past? Also, what other continuous improvement clues stand out in your mind that creates almost timeless energy?
Next, think about the multiple people and groups you have partnered with in the past…and have created something great! As you consider GOAL SETTING options, understand that "No One Goes It Along" down the trail of progress. Therefore, be sure to assemble concepts that involve potentially partnering with a diverse list of candidates…both old and new.
Finally, as your GOAL SETTING thoughts evolve beyond what's been done and on to what the future will be…be sure to give non-traditional options/opportunities a chance! Think of how Indiana Jones would have used today's technology in his Raiders of the Lost Arch quest? Resource/skill/knowledge/partnership asset-blending all will lead you to a solid progressive core of GOAL SETTING considerations.
And remember, personal and professional GOAL SETTING must not be a negative…just Indiana Jones progressive!
