Contractors in legal battle over Orlando theme park work
On behalf of Allan P. Whitehead of Frese, Whitehead & Anderson, P.A. posted in Construction Litigation on Thursday, February 1, 2018.
Construction is big business in Florida, and big projects require different types of labor and crews. Skyscrapers, condominiums and other large construction undertakings need the cooperation of many different contractors to get things together and ensure a property is safe and secure.
When conflicts come up between contractors, they can often be resolved with clear communication and setting expectations. But sometimes the law must get involved. Contractors may claim unpaid fees or sue for breach of contract if their needs are not met.
A general contractor is facing lawsuits in Orange County Circuit Court from five subcontractors who executed work on an Orlando resort. The claims, totaling near $3 million, range from ramp and railing installation to renovations of public spaces.
Disagreements between general contractors and subcontractors about unpaid bills rarely make it to court, according to an industry expert. "Plenty can go wrong in routine construction projects, let alone for a theme park where the work's complexity grows," he said.
Design changes may have delayed and complicated payments between the companies, and the general contractor also claims they were never paid by the client. "The sad part is they're not just punishing us — they're punishing subcontractors and suppliers," said a representative of the general contractor.
Delayed or unpaid fees can seriously damage companies that are unable to pay work crews and suppliers for completed work. Liens to recover funds can also damage clients and general contractors until they are resolved.
Contract disputes and other construction litigation may often be resolved in settlements and other court actions, including judges' and juries' decisions. Legal representation is often recommended for plaintiffs and defendants to ensure their interests are represented during legal proceedings.

Should You Collaborate With Your Team?
As a team leader, where is the line between engaging too much versus not enough? If you are a leader with formal authority or you can be perceived as more experienced or knowledgeable, you should think twice about collaborating with your team. Your involvement may create an effect that is the opposite of the spirit of collaboration.
When you collaborate, you cannot delegate.
Delegation is, in essence, the opposite of collaboration. Delegation means you let another do something with little oversight. Collaboration, in contrast, means you are actively involved. When you collaborate, you ensure that you cannot delegate.
Delegation and empowerment are difficult concepts to put into practice already, without throwing in the complications that collaboration causes. A big hurdle for new team leaders is being able to delegate work and being able to give up decision-making authority. It's difficult because other people do work differently than you would do it, and it takes time to get used to that. The more involved you get in collaboration, the more difficult it remains to delegate.
Make it a goal to allow your team to be effective without you.
But you need to delegate. As a team leader, your job isn't to do the work your team is supposed to do. Instead, you want to empower the team to make decisions and take actions on their own. Make it a goal to allow your team to be effective without you. Doing this shows that you have confidence and trust in your team members, and when you have trust and confidence, high performance follows.
Should you NEVER collaborate with your team? Of course not, the world is not so black and white. Collaboration is a tool and there are right ways just as there are wrong ways to use it. In fact, leaders who adopt a facilitative as opposed to a directive style may not run into these problems at all. But please be aware of the effect that someone with power has over a group before you get involved.

Q: use session username to get data from mysql I am making a profile page for a user on my site, where the person can change his/her information. I should be possible to change, name, lastname, username, code etc. But I have started with the username.
When a person log in, I store the username in session:
index.php
<?php
    if( !isset( $_SESSION['username'])) include('resources/auth/login.php');
            else exit( header('Location: home.php') );

                if( !isset( $_SESSION ) ) session_start();

    // Logout Session
    if( isset( $_GET['todo'] ) && $_GET['todo'] == 'logout'){

        session_unset();
        session_destroy();
        //echo 'You have been logged out!';
    }
?>

I have made a test on
profile.php:
<?php
   if( !isset( $_SESSION ) ) session_start();
?>
   <?php //echo $_SESSION['username'];?>

and this calls my username
But If I want to call the firstname from mysql database, that belongs to that username, should I use the session[username] for that? I startet to make a SQL query for it instead:
<?php
    $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT firstname FROM login");

    $stmt->execute();

    $fname = null;

      $stmt->bind_result($fname);
        while($stmt->fetch()) {
          echo $fname;
        }

    $stmt->close();
    $mysqli->close();
  ?>

This works, but calls all the firstnames in the database. So I tried to set the u_id, which is the PK in db = to stored session variable:
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT firstname FROM login WHERE u_id=$username");

and
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT firstname FROM loginWHERE u_id = '.$_SESSION[username]'";

But here I get an error:
Undefined variable: username in profile.php
Can anybody see why that is?

A: It is high propable that you didn't start the session. I only know the writing $_SESSION['username'] instead of u_id = ' . $_SESSION[username]'

A: if i understand you well,i think this query:
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT firstname FROM login WHERE u_id=$username");

should be this:
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT firstname FROM login WHERE username ='.$_SESSION[username].'");
//forgive my syntax issues

if you want to retrieve the firstname of a user that is logged, the parameter for the where clause should be the the user's username as that is the only unique way to identify the user, however may i suggest you also set the id of the user in a session too, so that the where parameter now takes the user's unique id. Its a better way of making sure you retrieve information for that particular user, because two users may have the same username, so when your where clause takes that as a parameter, it retrieves two rows from the database, that will definitely cause problems.

If something is necessarily so the case then in all instances of the circumstances this holds. Hence necessity is a generalization.
On combating determinism. From the fact that something happens regularly and predictably, it does not follow that it happens necessarily. That in every determinate case a quantum of force behaves and determines itself in a single way does not make it an 'unfree will'. 'Mechanical necessity' is not a fact: it is we who have interpreted it into what happens. We have interpreted the fact that what happens can be expressed in formulae as resulting from a necessity that governs what happens. But from the fact that I do a particular thing, it by no means follows that I do it under compulsion. Compulsion in things cannot be demonstrated at all: regularity proves only that one and the same happening is not another happening as well. Only our having interpreted subjects, 'doers', into things makes it appear that everything which happens is the consequence of a compulsion exerted on subjects – exerted by whom? Again, by a 'doer'. Cause and effect – a dangerous concept if one conceives of a something that causes and a something upon which there is an effect. (A) Necessity is not a fact but an interpretation. (B) Once one has understood that the 'subject' is not something that effects but merely a fiction, many things follow. It is only after the model of the subject that we invented thingness and interpreted it into the hubbub of sensations. If we cease to believe in the effecting subject, then the belief in things that exert effect, in reciprocal effect, cause and effect between those phenomena we call 'things', falls as well. This, of course, also means the fall of the world of atoms that exert effect, the assumption of which always presupposes that one needs subjects. Finally, the 'thing-in-itself also falls, because at bottom this is the concept of a 'subject-in-itself', yet we have understood that the subject is fictitious. The antithesis of'thing-in-itself' and 'appearance' is untenable; with this, however, the concept 'appearance' collapses too. (C) If we give up the effecting subject, then also the object on which effects are exerted. Duration, conformity with itself, being, in here neither in what is called subject nor in what is called object. They are complexes of what happens which appear to have duration in relation to other complexes- for example due to a difference in tempo (rest-motion, fixed-slack: all these are oppositions which don't exist in themselves and in fact only express differences of degree that look like oppositions when viewed through a particular prism.) There are no oppositions: we have only acquired the concept of oppositions from those of logic, and from there wrongly transferred it to things. (D) If we give up the concept 'subject' and 'object', then also the concept 'substance' – and consequently its various modifications, e.g., 'material', 'spirit' and other hypothetical entities, 'the eternity and immutability of matter', etc. We have then rid ourselves of materiality. Put in moral terms: the world is false – but inasmuch as morality itself is a piece of this world, morality is false The will to truth is a making fixed, a making true and lasting, a removing from sight of that false character, its reinterpretation into something that is. Truth is thus not something that's there and must be found out, discovered, but something that must be made and that provides the name for a process- or rather for a will to overcome, a will that left to itself has no end: inserting truth as a process to infinity, an active determining, not a becoming conscious of something that is 'in itself' fixed and determinate. It is a word for the 'will to power'. Life is founded on the presupposition of a belief in things lasting and regularly recurring; the more powerful the life, the wider must be the divinable world – the world, so to speak, that is made to be. Logicising, rationalising, systematising as life's resources. In a certain sense man projects his drive to truth, his 'goal', outside himself as a world that is, as a metaphysical world, as a 'thing-in-itself', as an already existing world. His needs as a maker already invent the world he's working on, anticipate it: this anticipation ('this belief' in truth) is his mainstay. All that happens, all movement, all becoming as a determining of relations of degree and force, as a struggle . The 'well-being of the individual' is just as imaginary as the 'well being of the species': the former is not sacrificed to the latter; regarded from a distance, the species is something quite as fluid as the individual. The 'preservation of the species' is only a consequence of the growth of the species, i.e., of overcoming the species on the path to a stronger type. As soon as we imagine someone who is responsible for us being thus and thus, etc. (God, nature), attributing our existence, our happiness and misery to it as its intention, we corrupt for ourselves the innocence of becoming. We then have someone who wants to achieve something through us and with us. That what appears to be 'purposiveness' ('the purposiveness infinitely superior to all human art') is merely the consequence of the will to power played out in everything that happens that becoming stronger brings with it orderings which resemble outlines of purposiveness that what appear to be purposes are not intended; instead, as soon as a slighter power has been overwhelmed and made to work as a function of the greater one, there is an order of rank, of organisation, which is bound to produce the appearance of an order of means and ends. Against what appears to be 'necessity' – this only an expression of the fact that a force is not also something else. Against what appears to be 'purposiveness' – this only an expression of an ordering of spheres of power and their interplay. Logical determinacy, transparency, as criterion of truth ('All that is true which is perceived clearly and distinctly', Descartes): this makes the' mechanicist hypothesis of the world desirable and credible. But that is a crude confusion, like the simplicity of truth). How does one know that the true nature of things stands in this relation to our intellect? – Could it not be different? That the hypothesis which most gives the intellect the feeling of power and security is the one it most favors, values, and consequently calls true? – The intellect posits its freest and strongest capacity and skill as the criterion of what is most valuable, consequently true… 'true': from the perspective of feeling: what most strongly stimulates feeling; from the perspective of thinking: what gives thinking the greatest feeling of force from the perspective of touching, seeing, hearing: what calls forth the strongest resistance. Thus the highest degrees of effort arouse for the object the belief in its own 'truth', i.e., reality. The feeling of force, of struggle, of resistance, prompts the conviction that there is something which is being resisted.

UN Deploys 5 More Helicopters to Burma Relief Efforts
Five helicopters working on cyclone relief for the United Nations arrived Saturday in Burma's former capital of Rangoon.
They join another U.N. helicopter that arrived Monday to carry supplies to survivors of Cyclone Nargis which killed more than 78,000 people and left 56,000 missing.
The U.N. says only half of the country's estimated 2 million cyclone victims have received food, water, shelter or health care from aid agencies.
The U.N.'s World Food Program has another four helicopters waiting in Thailand to join the relief effort.
Burma's ruling junta blocked many direct relief efforts by foreign organizations and governments to the hard-hit Irrawaddy River delta following the May third cyclone.
The U.S. has offered Burma 22 helicopters and says that it can get aid to a majority of hungry and homeless survivors in a matter of days.
U.S. military ships carrying relief supplies and helicopters have moved away from the Burmese coast, but U.S. military officials say they can return to help with relief if asked.
Some information for this report provided by AFP and AP.


If you are on your travels this month and wish to relieve those New Year aches and pains why not indulge in a day-long dip in an all natural hot tub. This may seem to be an extravagant luxury, but if you are in the right part of the world there are countless destinations where you can try an all natural and totally free natural hot baths. Some of these are the size of small swimming pools and others are merely the size of a large puddle, most of which are usually a well kept local secret. Here are a selection of a few of the most relaxing and replenishing hot springs from around the world that won't cost you a penny to enjoy.
The Saturnia hot springs are located in southern Tuscany and consist of clear water flowing down over rock pools where visitors can relax in their own personal hot baths. The water in the pools runs constantly and the 37C temperature is perfect for those who wish to relax and perfect for anyone with muscle or back pains. The water is rich with sulphur, calcium and carbon and is surrounded by thick woodland and olive groves. The rock pools have been turned white due to the minerals in the water which gives them a soothing glow. There is no entrance fee required and Tuscany offers plenty of other destinations for natural hot springs.
California has natural hot springs in abundance and many of them are convenient for visitors to the state to get to. However, without doubt the most popular of these is the Travertine hot spring which is located near Bridgeport. The 37C natural hot spring has one of the most stunning panoramic views on offer anywhere in the world as it is surrounded by the Californian desert. There are many hot spring pools here and it is important to look out for the signs that are located around them as some of the pools can reach very high temperatures.
This natural bath is located in one of the rich pine forests of the stunning British Columbia. In the Nakusp and Arrow Lakes region of British Columbia there is an entire region known as the Valley of Hot Springs and there's even a hiking trail to bring you to some of the most popular of them. A lot of them have been commercialised by hotels and spas but there are still plenty of free hot springs to enjoy such as the Halway hot springs. This is a perfect location where the river has been dammed resulting in a natural pool that visitors can have a heated and relaxing soak in the middle of the forest.
The beautiful and tranquil Hot Water Beach is located on the coast of New Zealand's North Island. It also offers something quite unique that you will not find anywhere else, the opportunity to build your own hot tub out of the sand. The water that comes up from beneath the beach provides naturally heated hot water and if you dig deep enough you can build your very own personal hot tub.
If you are visiting Iceland you will be sure to find an array of natural springs to relax in. Iceland sits on top of a hotbed of volcanic activity and has no shortage of smaller hot springs and pools you can visit without having to pay an entry fee. The most popular of these for a tourist to get to is Reykjadalur, which translates into English as Steam Valley. The natural hot spring is located a 45-minute drive from Reykjavik, followed by a short hike, the spring is a lush stream surrounded by wild grassland. It's as fresh and invigorating as hot springs can get.


This Civil War Living History weekend will feature Union and Confederate reenactment soldiers, battle scenes, military and civilian encampments. Scheduled hour-long major battles will be presented along with Union/Confederate skirmishes sporadically each day. Cannon and rifle fire will add to the realism and drama of these experiences. Also planned for the weekend are a series of living history educational programs that will feature first-person accounts about life during the Civil War era.

Molly Huddle Wins 2016 NYC Half In Controversial Fashion (67:41 CR), Stephen Sambu Rolls In 61:16
2016 United Airlines NYC Half
We know many of you were up late watching the 2016 World Indoors Track and Field Championships on the West Coast and likely didn't get up to watch the 2016 United Airlines NYC Half this morning. You missed a dandy of a race on the women's side.
American Molly Huddle dominance on the roads continued as she won a true battle to the line with Joyce Chepkirui as both clocked 1:07:41 – a new course record. After looking at the photo finish, Huddle was given the nod by .08. Stephen Sambu had a more comfortable victory in the men's race in 1:01:16.
The women's finish was so close on the women's side there is discussion on the message board as to whether Huddle should have been disqualified as her arms came out just before she hit the finish line as shown in the video (go the :36 mark and watch for about 30 seconds the best replay comes at the :55 second point) and photo below.

Messageboard poster "bike shed" is reporting that when Huddle was asked about the finish, Huddle said she was simply trying to get her body "across the line and not fall":
Q. "Molly, your arm came out a little at thefinish line
as you leaned. Is that kind of an instinctive thing,
or were you trying to do whatever you could to
make sure you crossed first?"
MOLLY HUDDLE: "I kind of was just trying to get my
body across the line and not fall at the same time. So
that's just — like I wasn't even conscious of what my
arms were doing. Yeah, I just was trying to get there. I
was pretty tired."
What do you think? Talk about the race on our world famous fan forum / messageboard: MB: Molly Huddle Interference? Should Huddle have been DQd for flailing her arms out at United Airlines NYC Half?

Naturopathy has been defined as a "drugless system of therapy, making use of physical forces such as air, light, water, heat, massage, etc.[1] Treatments are often diet- and nutrition-oriented with attention given to the patient's personal history and lifestyle. It is an unproven healing technique when applied to disease, although some of its principles may help in health promotion.
Its origins are in 18th and 19th century Germany, where it encompassed the popular "cures" at bathing spas. It was introduced to the United States in 1902, by Benjamin Lust, a German immigrant. Some of its initial principles included things recognized today as healthy diet.
As a holistic form of alternative medicine, it draws from other techniques, including nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and acupuncture. Naturopathic practitioners, however, may be part of an integrative medicine program, in which attention is paid to herb-drug, drug-drug, and herb-herb interactions.[2] The fact that some herbals have pharmacologic activity may challenge the contention that it is drugless. It also uses vitamin and mineral supplements, possibly in pharmacologic dosage.

This weekend, February 7-9, is Step Sing 2019 at Samford University Wright Center. To get an idea on what Step Sing is like, here is the full 2018 show.
Step Sing began as a sing-along on the steps of Renfroe Hall at the Howard College East Lake Campus in 1951. It was held once a semester and soon became a competition. In 1957, Howard College moved to its present location on Lakeshore Drive, bringing with it the tradition of Step Sing. In 1976, Step Sing moved to its current home in the Samford University Wright Center.
Under the direction of the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and the Office of Student Activities and Events, Step Sing is organized by students, including musical arrangement, choreography and costume design. Step Sing has become an educational activity in which students participate through leadership development, organizational administration, and time management. Students perform three days to sold-out audiences. It continues to be one of Samford's most popular traditions, and is a popular event not only among students, but also prospective students, employees, alumni, and the Birmingham community.
For 2019, Step Sing is partnering with the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. Community Food Bank of Central Alabama is committed to feeding people in need today and fostering collaborative solutions to end hunger tomorrow. CFB serves Jefferson County and 10 other counties in Central Alabama, feeding over 60,000 people at risk of hunger every month. Find out more about the work of this incredible organization at feedingal.org.
Step Sing will be raising funds for the Kids Meal Campaign that addresses childhood hunger in our city and the surrounding counties. Community Food Bank is able to provide Weekender Backpacks to feed a child for an entire weekend at a very low cost. With a gift of just $20, you can provide 5 Weekender Backpacks for children in need. We hope you will consider donating to help Step Sing make a meaningful impact on our city. Every dollar counts – just $1 provides 8 meals!

"am i not good e-enough for you anymore?" jeongguk cries on, and he's trying to understand why he's hurting so much, why this feels more like a breakup than anything else.
or, the one where jeongguk is in love and taehyung is so, so stupid.
Where Taehyung gets a new job, Jungkook is very concerned about his new boss and Seokjin probably planned this.
Seokjin gets a new job, Taehyung replaces him and falls in love with the secretary, Jungkook.
"And I feel like Gucci,"
This isn't professional. There is nothing professional about this, but Jeongguk is competitive and crushing hard and neither of those things lend themselves to thinking straight, so he narrows his eyes and nods.
Jimin and Jungkook had always been best friends for what they could remember. They basically grew up together, knew each other's family well and were like brothers: Jimin was the cheerful, sweet and responsible hyung who loves to take care of his loved ones, and Jungkook was the mischievous, troublemaker, yet adorable maknae.
At some point, though, Jimin starts to feel differently towards his best friend... who has, instead, a crush on Min Yoongi.
What happens when Jungkook asks Jimin to give him an hickey to make his crush jealous?
Min Yoongi is not a nice man.
But when you are the boss of the biggest criminal organization of Seoul, and the entire South Korea, you can't possibly have a good heart.
Jimin is a little doll in the prostitution ring, tired of life and broken behind repairs.
They meet and decide to be broken together.
"The blonde, who is he?"
"That's Min Yoongi. Your dad brought him in 4 months ago as the new Finance Director. Hot isn't he?"
In which Park Jimin is the Marketing Director and heir to his Father's company, and for some reason he doesn't trust the new handsome Finance Director, Min Yoongi.
Yoongi has no idea why Namjoon is so hell bent on this specific company. He just wants to get this Job over and done with. But to do that, he has to seduce the Park Heir to bring down the Park Empire.
He was about to open his mouth, to deny all this. He's going to ask what the hell is going on, get back to his office and work in peace.
"Yes - uh, I mean, no - but that -" he took one look at Jimin and it sent shivers down his spine.
Min Yoongi, a well known Prosecutor in South Korea, heard a rumor from his brother Taehyung that his unit will be having a new recruit.
Definitely Namjoon's fault for not being able to shut his mouth.
But Yoongi is shock to see the new prosecutor, Park Jimin, be drop dead gorgeous and has to work with him till the end of time.
As a classic bad boy, Yoongi's never had a real moral issue with cheating; considering everything else he does, that would be at the bottom of the list of his faults. Unfortunately, Jimin thinks otherwise. Yoongi doesn't really want to resort to certain means of persuasion to lift Jimin's punishment, but really, what other choice does he have?


The perfect personalized canvas for the happy couple.
Our exclusive design features a large black initial for the last name, two first names and the year. The "Est." will automatically appear. All over a lovely faux wood background.

When will Scotland lockdown end? How long Covid restrictions could last, and what the new rules are
Scotland's lockdown rules include a legal requirement to stay at home except for certain reasonable excuses, prevent indoor meetings between households and mean non-essential retail must stay closed
By David Hughes
Scotland entered its latest period of lockdown just before England in January, as Covid cases continued to rise around the UK.
Announcing the near-nationwide restrictions on 4 January, Nicola Sturgeon said: "It is no exaggeration to say that I am more concerned about the situation we face now than I have been at any time since March last year."
Scotland lockdown rules: New Covid restrictions explained in full, when they start and how long they last
The rules include a legal requirement to stay at home except for certain reasonable excuses, prevent indoor meetings between households and non-essential retail must remain closed – schools are are closed to most pupils.
These measures are in force across mainland Scotland and some islands, with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands the only regions remaining fully in level three of the nation's previous four-tier system.

When will lockdown end in Scotland?
When she announced the lockdown, the First Minister said the restrictions would be in place from midnight on 4 January until the end of January.
However, Ms Sturgeon added that she could not "rule out keeping them in place longer", adding that the restrictions would be kept "under review".
In an announcement to MSPs on Tuesday 12 January, she explained it was "very unlikely" that the restrictions would be lifted at the end of the month, and that it was possible they would be extended into February instead.
The warnings of an extended lockdown came on the day that official statistics showed a further 54 deaths from Covid in Scotland in the space of 24 hours, bringing the total number to 5,023.
Asked about a possible extension after lockdown is reviewed at the end of January, Ms Sturgeon said: "I wouldn't want to raise expectations that we will lift all of these restrictions at the end of January.
"I think it is very unlikely there will be a wholesale lifting of these restrictions. There may not even be any lifting of these restrictions as soon as the end of January – we will have to consider all of that carefully and set that out in due course."
The following day, the First Minister announced a further tightening of the rules in a statement to MSPs, although she did also suggest that there were tentative signs that the lockdown was having an effect.

What are the changes to Scotland's lockdown rules?
In her address on Wednesday 13 January, Ms Sturgeon announced a ban on drinking alcohol outdoors in public areas and further restrictions on takeaways.
Scots will be barred from entering hospitality businesses for takeaway services, meaning all sales of food or drink must take place outside the premises.
Additionally, click and collect services will be limited to retailers selling essentials, such as clothing, baby equipment and books.
For those allowed to continue collection services, the First Minister said "staggered appointments" will be needed to end queuing, and people will no longer be allowed inside.
Statutory guidance will be introduced urging employers to support workers to remain at home "wherever possible", while previously issued guidance to only allow essential work to be undertaken inside people's homes will be placed into law.
Scotland lockdown: Covid rules could be extended into February, warns Nicola Sturgeon
Ms Sturgeon confirmed the coronavirus regulations will change to forbid people from leaving home for an essential purpose and then doing something considered not to be essential after they have left the house, thus closing an "apparent loophole" in the rules.
As well as the changes to restrictions, the First Minister urged Scots to adhere to the spirit, not just the letter, of the lockdown law: "Don't think in terms of the maximum interactions you can have without breaking the rules.
"Think instead about how you minimise your interactions to the bare essentials to remove as many opportunities as possible for the virus to spread.
"In everything you do, assume that the virus is there with you – that either you have it or any person you are in contact with has it – and act in a way that prevents it passing between you.
Additional reporting from Press Association


SNAP is designed to supplement recipients' purchasing power so that through a combination of SNAP benefits and their own spending out of available cash resources recipients can afford to purchase enough food to feed their families under the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP). However, the TFP minimum spending target for food is based on outdated and inappropriate assumptions. In particular, the TFP implicitly assumes that households have unlimited time to prepare food, and therefore are able to cook meals primarily from scratch instead of using prepared ingredients. Over the past twenty years the majority of low-income families spent more on food than would have been suggested by the cost of a minimally adequate food budget that the benefit formula is based on. This difference in spending compared to the TFP target may indicate that some families face higher food prices than those assumed by the TFP.

Learning Zeppelin: Wooden Airship Docked on Museum Roof as a Reading Room
Article by SA Rogers, filed under Public & Institutional in the Architecture category
A wooden airship has seemingly crash-landed onto the roof of the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, wedged between two white museum buildings for dramatic effect to serve as a new space for literature and reading. Conceived by Leos Valka, director of DOX, and completed by Hut Architektury, the Gulliver Airship measures nearly 138 feet long and features a basketweave-like construction open to the air, protected from the rain by a transparent roof.
Taking inspiration from the zeppelins of the early 20th century, the airship aims to reflect the optimism, technological advancements and futurism of the era, inciting a sense of wonder when you gaze up at it from the ground level. Valka says he dreamed of "an absurdly fascinating organic shape" that would have a parasitic appearance, alien to the concrete and glass of the museum itself.
The 'ship' is accessible from the museum's roof, and takes advantage of plentiful natural light for a pleasant reading environment. Adding such an unconventional structure is in line with the museum's hope to encourage innovative thinking and take risks.
The DOX facility is a reclaimed factory, its renovation nominated for the prestigious Mies van der Role Award, and its purpose is "to create a space for research, presentation and debate on important social issues, where arts in dialogue with other disciplines encourage a critical view of the so-called reality of today's world."
"The shape of the zeppelin is symbolic," reads a statement on the DOX website. "The early zeppelins represented the optimistic ideals of a new era of unprecedented technological advancements. With their remarkable monumentality and hypnotic dignity that would continue to fascinate generations to come long after they had vanished from the skies, they have always embodied the eternal human desire to fly, and have represented a certain utopian ideal."

The services offered by Serenity Place will continue without interruption but now under various providers in the state.
Serenity Place, the addiction treatment center tied to Manchester's Safe Station program, will be shutting its doors after more than four decades of operation.
The nonprofit has severe financial problems and was court-ordered Tuesday to begin the liquidation process next month.
Maureen Beauregard is the head of Families in Transition, the group that's been overseeing Serenity Place. She said splitting up the services is the best option.
Granite Pathways will take over the Safe Station referrals, with the Farnum Center managing the respite and outpatient care. Meanwhile, Elliot Hospital will take over the county's drug court referrals.
Several Serenity Place employees have been transferred and more than 20 have been laid off. And its building will likely be sold. Another status hearing on the transition and liquidation process is scheduled for Feb. 1.

Unlocking the Cage review – exemplary animal rights documentary
This well made film about an organisation fighting for the rights of animals with advanced cognitive abilities presents some fascinating legal and ethical issues
Crisply compiled … Unlocking the Cage

New York-based attorney and law professor Steven M Wise is the founder of the Nonhuman Rights Project, an organisation dedicated to changing the status of certain animals, particularly apes and other creatures with advanced cognitive abilities, so that they are seen as people, not things. This crisply compiled factual work tracks him and his associates over the course of several years as they file lawsuits and argue in the courts to emancipate three chimpanzees in particular from what they consider to be unsuitable, even cruel environments. The subtle but fascinating legal points raised revolve around the interpretation of habeas corpus, precedents involving slavery and legal notions of personhood and competency. The potential is there for turning this material into something dry and excessively detail-driven or, alternatively, hectoring and sentimental about animal rights. Instead, veteran directors Chris Hegedus and DA Pennebaker steer just the right course (together they made Only the Strong Survive and The War Room, but Pennebaker's filmography is even more illustrious, encompassing the immortal Bob Dylan doc, Don't Look Back), producing an exemplary piece of documentary storytelling. It's only a shame that it remains a bit aesthetically televisual, and that the story doesn't yet have a conclusive ending since the cases are still ongoing.

Our Living Lab Series are programs structured around long-term monitoring and research programs occurring at the Reserve. In order to connect students to the program, the Living Lab Series are field experiences that are designed to assist with the integration of classroom curriculum into field research. The framework for each experience allows for the difficulty level to be adjusted according to grade level. All the levels are aligned with NOAA's Estuaries 101 Curriculum.
Similar to the Junior Living Lab Series, because each teacher and classroom is unique we provide four different student field experiences for teachers to select from. We hope you select a field experience that correlates to what is being taught in the classroom, thus, supporting teaching efforts. Below are general logistics and links to one-pagers outlining the overall concepts and correlating standard alignment.
Fee: $10/trip (non-refundable) + $140/trip (if participating teacher(s) do not complete the online welcome module before their scheduled trip). The online welcome module will be sent to the teacher prior to their visit in a reminder email. For more details please see the Frequently Asked Questions below.
Each level is designed to engage students with research and conservation activities occurring at the GTM Research Reserve. The increasing levels do not reflect increasing complexity. Below each level are links to how each level aligns to St. Johns School District Curriculum Maps (based on grade level). Ideally, this will assist you in deciding which level would be most beneficial to your students during certain times of the year.
For a detailed description of our Education Program (goals, objectives, alignment, resources) please click here.
Fee: If you complete the online welcome module (will be sent to the teachers via email prior to their scheduled visit) then your program will cost: $10 donation + transportation cost. If you do not complete the online welcome module then your program will cost: $10 donation + $140 donation (to be invoiced on the day of your program) + transportation cost.
Professional Development: Please see the note about the $140 donation fee waiver above. Does every teacher that will be coming to the GTM Research Reserve need to complete the online welcome module? Yes. If you have questions please email our Education Coordinator (EMAIL).
Reservations: Reservations are required and must be completed online. If you are having issues with your reservation please email our Education Coordinator (EMAIL).
If the date is blank (not able to select it), then it was booked by an Elementary group. If the date is red, then it was booked by a Middle/High School group. If the date is green, then it is available for booking.

Dell XPS 13: Carbon Fibre Makes This Ultrabook Light And Sturdy
Adrian Covert
Dell's XPS 13 is their official entry into the ultrabook market. On the outside, it doesn't look terribly different from other ultrabooks (hello teardrop design!), but a closer examination reveals that Dell took a very interesting approach to the materials they used in their machine. Namely, carbon fibre.
The carbon fibre shell that covers the bottom of the laptop not only cuts down on weight adds rigidity, but also keeps the base from heating up and scorching a hole in your pants when your laptop is on your lap. On the palm rest, Dell gave the XPS 13 a matte, pitch black, soft-touch surface that's surprisingly attractive.
Under the hood, the XPS 13 has all the familiar Ultrabook signifiers: Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Release date is still up in the air, but expect to see this in stores for $US1000 when it arrives.

There aren't just a lot of candidates for the worst episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, I would contend there are a lot of worst episodes, period. It's amazing how much terrible content this show produced while simultaneously reviving the beloved franchise—there's the racism of "Code of Honor," the supernatural assault of "Sub Rosa," the clip show crappiness of "Shades of Grey," and many more. Everyone has their pick, but "Up the Long Ladder" is my dark horse contender for the title, because it manages to be racist, sexist, and terrible sci-fi, all at once.

Column: The nuts and bolts of community journalism
By Joe Werkmeister
When I began my career in journalism as a sportswriter, I'd often engage in the same conversation with people. When someone heard I covered sports, they would excitedly inquire whether I covered the Jets or Yankees or some other professional team in New York.
It seemed like everyone's initial assumption was that my life was spent hanging out with professional athletes, traveling the country and smoking cigars with A-Rod on a yacht.
The reality was far less exciting. I'd explain that, no, I don't cover a professional team. My day-to-day work involved traveling to high schools, watching teenagers play every sport imaginable — from football to badminton — and writing for a community newspaper.
While there were occasional opportunities to interview a professional athlete or cover a bigger story, the mission was always to cover the student-athletes in the community. Many would never go on to play college sports or professionally, but for that brief period of time, they were at center stage.
ESPN writer Ian O'Connor posted a tweet last week that stuck with me: "I often surprise students when telling them it's harder covering a community event like a HS football game than it is to cover the Super Bowl, and it's not even close. Always respect local journalists."
There has been a lot of discussion over the past week about local journalism in the aftermath of the brutal killing of five people at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Maryland. Two other people were injured as well when the gunman, who had a history of feuding with the paper, burst through the office door with a barrage of bullets.
The staffers who survived deserve enormous credit for persevering through an unthinkable tragedy by continuing to report the story unfolding in their own newsroom. Most of us, God willing, will never be in such a dire situation.
We don't show up to work every day expecting to do anything heroic. We don't expect to uncover a deep scandal lurking in government with every issue that hits newsstands on Thursday morning.
The reality is often much simpler. We strive to do great things and tell important stories, but the nuts and bolts of community journalism remain the same. It's about the reporters attending school board meetings, bringing readers the information they need to stay informed on their children's education without spending hours of their night sitting in a high school library.
It's about the photographers attending community festivals, fundraisers and parades, capturing the moments that will live forever in print. It's about the sportswriters sitting in the bleachers surrounded by parents, scribbling in a notepad to keep stats because there's no media relations person walking over to hand a printed stat sheet, or video replay to see a play a second time.
It's about sitting through Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals meetings, hoping to find a nugget of information that can lead to an important story that people will want to read. It's about carefully documenting the lives of the deceased in obituaries — one of the most critical components of a community newspaper. It's about providing a platform for residents to express opinions on what's happening in their community.
In our current landscape, "the media" is often thrown out as an all-encompassing term.
It's worth remembering that for every reporter at a powerful, big-city publication, there are even more reporters in small communities pounding the pavement to bring readers compelling information. Both serve an important role. After all, someone needs to keep tabs on the White House, national security and foreign affairs. And someone needs to keep tabs on the tax levy at your local school.
As many writers have noted in stories over the past week, the reporters, editors and photographers who enter this field do it not to become wealthy or famous. We share a common passion for storytelling, for bringing stories to light that would otherwise go untold. We lose sleep at night over "deadline nightmares" — that dreaded moment when you think a story about to publish the next morning might be missing something.
But in the end, this job can be a lot of fun, and the thrill of chasing a story can be exhilarating.
When readers send a thank-you note to share how a story touched them, it makes it all worth it.
We may not save democracy every Thursday, but if that day comes, we'll take it.

I'm not yet sure if and how I will implement an option to comment on this site. I'm currently thinking about wether it would be possible to fetch comments via twitter and if that would be enough.

Rogers Park Residents On Edge with Shooting Suspect Still at Large
By Katie Anthony
Updated October 17, 2018 5:50 p.m. CT
Published October 17, 2018 8:00 a.m. CT
With the Rogers Park community still on edge after two shootings at the beginning of the month by a suspect still at large, students, community members and businesses share a common goal to make the neighborhood feel safe again.
Following increased community awareness around Rogers Park, student Facebook groups such as "Roam RoPo" have popped up, while the ride-sharing service, Lyft, has offered 50 percent off to Rogers Park community members through the 49th Ward office until the end of the month.
This comes after 73-year-old Douglass Watts was killed Sept. 30 while walking his dog about 1.5 miles away from campus. The following day, 24-year-old Eliyahu Moscowitz was shot dead near Loyola Park, just over a mile from campus. Chicago police believe Watts and Moscowitz were killed by the same suspect, who's still at large at the time of publication.
The student Facebook page "Roam RoPo" — RoPo being short for Rogers Park — was created Sept. 29 by junior accounting student Ryan McMullin. McMullin said he and his friends reach out to one another to share information and walk together and he wanted all students to have a similar space.
"I was thinking what would I do, or how would I feel if I didn't have that support system around, so my intentions were to give people that bridge to connect with others if they ever felt unsafe," McMullin said.
Other community Facebook groups — such as "Rogers Park Neighborhood News" — intended for neighbors to share recommendations and events have seen an increase in crime related posts following the incidents.
Alderman Joe Moore (49th Ward) and the Chicago Police Department (CPD) held a community meeting Oct. 3, where about 500 Rogers Park residents gathered to hear from police and ask questions about the shootings, The Phoenix reported.
On Oct. 10 Moore sent an email newsletter to residents announcing the neighborhood would be working with the ride-sharing company Lyft to offer transportation at a discount in Rogers Park.
Residents are allowed two 50 percent off Lyft discount coupons, available at Moore's office at 7356 N. Greenview Ave. Moore also offered to mail the cards to residents if they email him at ward49@cityofchicago.org, according to Moore's email newsletter.
Moore wrote in the email he hopes the discount will provide a sense of comfort to Rogers Park residents wary of going out since the shootings. According to Moore's email, local businesses have seen a decrease in customers since the shootings and he hopes Lyft's partnership will draw customers back to local shops.
In an email statement to The Phoenix, a Lyft spokesperson said the company was happy to help residents get to their destinations safely.
"Alderman Moore approached us, interested in ensuring his constituents had access to safe and affordable transportation," the email said. "As always, we're eager to support Chicagoans and get them where they need to go."
Senior advertising and public relations student Christa Cecala is among the students using alternative transportation to get around Rogers Park.
"I have been taking Ubers from Mertz to my apartment, which is only a few blocks away," Cecala said, referring to Mertz Residence Hall on the Lake Shore Campus. "It's scary walking, even during the day, since the shootings happened both at night and during the day."
"Roam RoPo" gained popularity as students looked for ways home and a place to hear crime updates, with almost 4,000 members at the time of publication. McMullin said he was surprised but happy with the page's growth.
"The whole purpose was to give people that medium of communication that they need. [And] while at times it hasn't served that, at least I gave it a shot," McMullin said. "For people who want to use it, I hope to God they do."
Some members of the page have posted information about things that didn't happen — including sightings of the shooter near campus or close by gunshots.
On Oct. 4, posts claimed the suspect was near Granville Avenue, and on Oct. 12 a student claimed they heard the suspect was walking toward campus.
Police responded to rumors and concerns at a community meeting, clarifying the suspect hasn't been seen since the shooting of Moscowitz Oct. 1. CPD spokesman Glen Brooks said Loyola students should be sure all information they spread is accurate, The Phoenix reported.
Aneeta Polakkattil, a first-year studying biology, said she believes speculation on the page was more hurtful than helpful.
"Initially, I thought it was a great group to be aware of what was going on, but it also gave me a lot of paranoia and a lot of people were over exaggerating," Polakkattil said. "But I appreciate getting a third party view of what's going on — not just Loyola and CPD."
Stefi Hernandez, a senior majoring in communication studies, said she was excited for students to have a place to share information and create community, but concern arose when posts about "sketchy" people popped up on her newsfeed.
"As students started posting to be wary of certain people, people who fit the description of the [suspect], I thought there needs to be some sort of awareness of how we use our language because fear is going to turn into hypersensitivity that can put other students in danger," Hernandez said.
Hernandez said after her post about being mindful of vague descriptions and coded language was deleted, she felt compelled to create another group called "Roam RoPo 2.0," which has about 620 members as of publication.
"I created [Roam RoPo 2.0] to create an environment where we can talk about safety and also be really mindful of everyone's definition of safety and we can understand how important it is to be inclusive in that conversation," Hernandez said.
Campus Safety sent an email to students Oct. 10 reminding students to "stay vigilant" as Loyola monitors the situation and CPD continues to investigate.
The email outlined services such as Loyola's free van transportation, 8-RIDE, and Campus Safety dispatch to help students get around campus safely. Campus Safety also asked students with any information about the homicides to contact CPD at 312-744-8263 or CPDtip.com.
Campus Safety director Thomas Murray didn't respond to The Phoenix's request for comment.

By Associated Press |
PUBLISHED: July 6, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. | UPDATED: July 25, 2021 at 9:11 p.m.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) – For a year, Gary Scromo of Staten Island, New York, would either walk outside one of Atlantic City's casinos if he wanted to smoke a cigar, or just do without one if the weather was bad.
But last weekend, he was once again able to light up inside the casinos as a year-long ban, inspired by the coronavirus last July, expired.
"I walked inside and saw the ashtrays, and knew: Smoking is back," he said.
Smoking is indeed back at the nine Atlantic City casinos. But not everyone is happy about it, and even the state's governor is hinting he might look favorably on a bill that would permanently ban it inside the gambling halls. Democrat Phil Murphy said last week, "I would be very constructive on that," stopping short of saying he would sign the legislation.
Smoking foes are making a major push to eliminate the so-called "casino loophole," the one big exemption to New Jersey's law banning smoking in most indoor places, including restaurants and bars. They held a rally last week on the Boardwalk calling on the state's legislative leaders and Murphy to enact a permanent smoking ban in the casinos.
"In my 20 years as a dealer, I've seen too many of my coworkers experience serious health issues due to exposure to secondhand smoke," a casino dealer, Nicole Vitola, said at the rally.
Murphy lifted the ban, which was part of a health emergency that was allowed to expire as the state continues to vaccinate residents and case numbers decline.
The situation is now what it was before the pandemic: Casino patrons can smoke on no more than 20% of the casino floor, signs designate areas where smoking is allowed, and the casinos have invested heavily in air filtration systems.
But smoking opponents say those systems are not the answer, stating there is no healthy level of secondhand smoke.
Several casino executives declined to comment on the resumption of smoking at their properties this week.
Earlier this year, the Casino Association of New Jersey, the trade group representing the Atlantic City casinos, said a permanent ban would do great harm to the industry.
"Banning smoking permanently would have long-term financial implications for the industry and the region," the group said in a statement. "Going completely nonsmoking would place Atlantic City casinos at a competitive disadvantage with other nearby casinos that allow smoking."
Such a ban would lead to fewer customers, fewer casino jobs and lower tax revenue, it said.
Scromo, the smoker from Staten Island, said the current arrangement is workable.
"There is a certain area where it's allowed, and that's it," Scromo said. "People don't have to sit there if they don't like it. I enjoy smoking at the casino when I play, but I'm usually at the slot machines. I can see where at a table, the dealer has to stay there, so I don't smoke at the tables."
Shay Trowery of Philadelphia is a smoker who recently started visiting Atlantic City casinos. But she opposes allowing smoking to return right now.
"I feel like COVID is still around," she said, adding it is impossible to tell whether a person has COVID-19 and could be spreading it through airborne smoke particles.
Baaqir Muta'ali of Atlantic City also smokes, but he, too, thinks it's a bad idea to let it resume in the casinos.
"Secondhand smoke is bad; we all know that," he said. "Even before the pandemic, I felt that smoking inside the casinos was bad."

Q: Sorting strings by multiple substrings in Python I have a list of filenames in the following format <number>-<number>
Example below:
0-0
1-0
1-1
1-2
1-3

...

31-0
31-1
31-2

I want to read them as a sorted list. When I do sort() on the listdir() output, 10-x is coming right after the 1-x series.
When I do .sort(key=lambda x: int(x.split('-')[0])), I get the first number sorted, but the second one(the one after the hyphen are not sorted). Example: ["21-3", "21-0", "21-2", "21-1"]
So, how do I make sure that I can read my files with the filenames sorted according to the number before the hyphen in the filename and also sorted according to the second number in the filename(the one after the hyphen) ?
Desired output:
["0-0", "1-0", "1-1", "1-2", ...  "31-0", "31-1", "31-2", "31-3"]

A: items = ["31-1", "31-0", "0-0", "0-2", "0-1"]

print(sorted(items, key=lambda s: tuple(map(int, s.split("-")))))

Output:
['0-0', '0-1', '0-2', '31-0', '31-1']

The Unizin Order Tool provides automated reports to Institutions and Publishers. The reports are intended to drive the business processes of inclusive access once content is ordered.
Every night, Unizin runs a process to generate reports about content orders submitted in the Order Tool. The reports are pushed to an FTP server where they are accessible by an institution. Reports are run in both the production (PROD) and user acceptance testing (UAT) environments. Institutions may use the same FTP server credentials they use to push their data integration for Order Tool in the PROD and UAT environments.
A record for each content-section pair in an order, along with metadata about the course, section, and order itself.
Orders are only reported during open ordering periods. It is only during those times that orders can be generated.
Institutions may use order feeds to further the business processes around content ordering.
IU has asked for both deltas and full dumps. Deltas would be created and pushed to an FTP server every night. Full dumps would be generated on demand for auditing purposes. The deltas should include both new and changed orders since the last dump.
During open Ordering periods, Unizin provides Publishers with a report describing where their content has been adopted.
The purpose of the Publisher adoption report is to inform publishers about the titles that have been adopted by an institution for an upcoming Term. In many cases, Publishers will use this report to drive relationships with Faculty and Instructors who have elected to use their content. If Digital Learning Tools (DLT) are offered by the Publisher, the Publisher adoption report will be used by Publishers to determine which courses/sections must be provisioned for the use of a DLT.
