Богда́н Леви́цький (21 червня 1886, с. Велика Березовиця, Тернопільська область — 8 січня 1962, Лос-Анджелес, Каліфорнія, США) — підсудний у «Процесі 101», активний учасник Листопадового чину у 1918 р., суддя в Дрогобичі, Стрию, Косові, адвокат у Винниках.

Життєпис

Процес 101
У гімназії він належав до таємного студентського гуртка. Навчаючись у Львівському університеті на юридичному факультеті, бере активну участь у боротьбі за права української мови у Львівському університеті. Перші арешти відбулися у 1910 році, коли в сутичці між поляками та українцями в університеті загинув український студент Адам Коцко. Після низки арештів справу було доведено до суду, і на лаві підсудних опинилися 101 український студент. Серед засуджених був і Левицький Богдан. «Процес 101», як його прозвали журналісти та громадськість, тривав п'ять місяців — із лютого до липня 1911 р. Його результатом стало визнання українців винними не лише в заворушенні, а й в убивстві Коцка.

Газета «Свобода» за 1 лютого 1912 року подала коротку замітку про «Процес 101»: «Масові релєґації українських студентів зарядив сенат львівського університету на основі присуду в процесі 101. Засуджені в тім процесі один по другім дістають без переслуханя релєґаційні рішеня, а саме: засуджені на 14 днів релєґовані на 2 семестри, засуджені на місяць — на 4 семестри, а засуджені на 3 місяці — на все. Свої рішеня опирає сенат на тім, що суть вчинку, стверджена в карно судовім поступованю, творить також на основі дисциплінарного закона делїкт.

Отака то доля стрінула наших молодців-героїв за оборону своїх прав у "польській" унїверситеті. І довго воно так буде? — Так довго, доки наша суспільність не зрозуміє в цілій основі ваги рідної школи, і доки галицькі Русини не приневолять австрійське правительство дати їм те, що їм правмо належить ся: український унїверситет у Львові».

Суддівська праця
Закінчивши університет, працював суддею у Вінернойштаді і в Оломунці. Розпад Австро-Угорщини застав його на посаді судді в Дрогобичі. Був активним учасником Листопадового чину у 1918 р.,членом Дрогобицької Національної Ради, але в перегруповуванні урядів не хотів проміняти своє високе суддівське звання на краще забезпечені адміністративні посади.

Після програної визвольної війни 1918—1919 pp., потрапив у польські концтабори Домб'є і Берестя. Після звільнення з таборів у 1920 р. з сильно підірваним здоров'ям, переходить на суддівську службу до Стрия, а в 1921 р. — до Косова. Під час виборів 1922 р., польська поліція заарештовує його і відправляє у Коломию. Після звільнення з в'язниці, він повертається до суду в Косові, де знову, всупереч новим урядовим розпорядженням — виголошує вироки для українських сторін українською мовою, за що його звільняють із посади судді, забороняючи проживати в тому повіті.

Діяльність у Винниках
Шукаючи роботу, Богдан Левицький в 1932 р. відкрив адвокатську контору у Винниках. Він часто захищав своїх клієнтів без винагороди, за що здобув почесну назву «оборонця бідних». Тут включився в громадське життя, ставши членом кооперативу, «Просвіти», працював в управі Банку.

У Винниках застала його радянська окупація. Важко доводилося жити Богдану Левицькому, бо як колишнього суддю його не хотіли прийняти до профспілки, а це означало приречення на голодну смерть. Щойно стараннями проф. Кирила Студинського його було прийнято до Спілки адвокатів і дозволено захищати підсудних перед Народним судом у Винниках. Та не довго судилось йому бути адвокатом за правління комуністів, тому що вже за кілька місяців його звільнено за порушення радянського кримінального права. Рятуючись від НКВС, часто переховується у Львові, або в сусідів у Винниках, адже вже був у списку на вивезення.
Під час німецької окупації став начальником суду в Бібрці.

Еміграція
У 1944 р. емігрував, перейшовши робітничі табори, працював у бюро УНРА й ІРО, допомагаючи емігрантам. В 1950 р. прибув до США — спочатку до Бофало, а в 1956 році до Каліфорнії, де працював в Національному музеї в місті Онтаріо. Богдан Левицький любив музейництво, бо ще студентом у Львові працював у музеї-архіві Дідушицьких і залишив збірку-архів на рідній землі. В 1959 р. мав перший серцевий напад, потім були наступні, а зранку 8 січня 1962 року серце перестало битися. Його поховали на кладовищі «Нова Кальварія» в Лос-Анджелосі (Каліфорнія).

Priority Staffing Group Expands Across State Lines

PSG opens its first location in Greater Nashville, Tennessee
Priority Staffing Group (PSG), a leading provider of contingent & permanent staffing, payroll, and consulting, announced they will open a new office in Murfreesboro, TN to accommodate their client's growing needs and to service the needs of the rapidly growing Greater Nashville region.
"The opening of Priority Staffing Group's new Murfreesboro office is an important step towards realizing our potential," said Heather Goines-Evans, Vice President. "The new office will be the first of many important changes over the next year for our company. Our goal is to continue to provide superior talent the services to 380+ companies we partner with in southern Illinois while also realizing our goals of growing beyond state lines to give southern Illinois a homegrown economic growth engine."
Plans to develop operations in Murfreesboro, TN were initiated by PSG's rapid growth since its opening in 2010. The new office, which includes 3 full-time employees at this time, will be the company's third office. The new office will allow PSG to serve from the geographic center of Tennessee. Murfreesboro & Rutherford County is home to Tennessee's largest undergraduate university, is the 13th fastest growing city in the nation and is the #1 producing U.S. auto manufacturing in the country. PSG recently opened a new office in Vandalia, IL in 2014, added new divisions in 2012 & 2014 (Priority Payroll & Priority Professional, respectively) and has grown its full-time staff by more than 600% since opening its doors October, 2010.
The company has named Chris Nichols as Director of Business Development and Operations. Nichols joins Priority Staffing following a successful stint with The Aspire Group based at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA. Nichols became the fastest internal promotion to Sales Manager in The Aspire Group's history. While at Louisiana Tech, his sales department experienced unprecedented success, including the highest year over year increase in revenue, highest number of men's basketball season tickets sold, highest number of group tickets sold for a fiscal year, as well as leading the efforts on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th largest football crowds in school history.
Nichols commented, "I am extremely excited to join the Priority Staffing Group team. What the leadership of Heather, Gail, and Carlos have done from a growth standpoint over the first 6 years of the company's existence is incredible. I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to lead our company's expansion in the rapidly expanding Nashville, Tennessee market."
A two-time Eastern Illinois University graduate, Nichols graduated with a bachelor degree in business management in 2012 and received a master degree in sports administration in 2014. The Nichols family, Hayley, a speech-language pathologist, and their two daughters, Reese and Gracen will also be making the move to Nashville.
The new office is expected to begin operations on August 9th, 2016. It will primarily handle contingent and permanent staffing presently, but plans for future growth are already in motion.
The staffing and recruiting industry is currently growing at a faster rate than the U.S. labor market and economy. Priority Staffing Group has been involved in finding more than 4,700 individuals employment in southern Illinois since October, 2010. It has recently added Priority Professional Group that specializes in management and professional degree based jobs.

Home / Porec
Porec, a mosaic of experiences.
Porec is a town located in the heart of the western coast of Istria. It is a town of culture, tourism, sport and entertainment. It has been recognised and awarded for the beauty of its public space and its cleanliness many times over.
It combines rich tradition, stunning buildings and exciting venues. In fact, it has been considered to be the capital of Croatian tourism for many years. Over 2000 years old, the city offers visitors a glance into the past. It offers historical buildings and churches from the Byzantine, Venetian and Roman periods as well as stone-paved streets built during the Roman times.
The town has a long and turbulent history which nurtures remnants of its past in the heart of its old town. The streets of Porec continue to preserve their original architecture and numerous cultural and historical monuments.
Of these we can especially note the Euphrasian Basilica with its distinctive mosaics dating from the 6th century which UNESCO recognised and protected as a world heritage site in 1997. It is famous for its beautiful gold mosaics as well as interior and exterior architecture.
We also suggest to visit the 3 towers (Pentagon, Round and North) which were built in the 15th century. These were once connected by walls that protected the old city. The Pentagon tower guarded the entrance into the old heart of the city.
Its' attractive location, allows guests of Porec the possibility to visit other important localities within its vicinity. One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice, the Brijuni National Park, the Baredine Caves, the Roman Arena in Pula, the Pazin Chasm and the Lim Fjord.
The Baredine Cave in particular is one of many wonders of nature. Over the years the relentless work of water has shaped the stalactites and stalagmites into recognisable forms.
Aside from its culture and tourism, Porec also has a sports and entertainment side. Almost every hotel has a summer terrace, and hot summer nights in Porec are enriched by numerous restaurants, discotheques, night clubs, bars and casinos.
Porec is surely the pearl of Croatian tourism which offers its visitors a different kind of holiday full of entertainment and events. In short, a mosaic of experiences.

Q: How to re -run the link function of directive after model binding I have directive with following code
 app.directive('formControl', function () {
        return {
            restrict: 'C',
            link: function (scope, element, attrs) {

                // Add class filled to form-control's that have a value
                if (element.val()) {
                    element.parent().addClass('filled');

                }

                element.bind('blur', function (e) {
                    var input = angular.element(e.currentTarget);
                    if (input.val()) {
                        input.parent().addClass('filled');
                    } else {
                        input.parent().removeClass('filled');
                    }
                    input.parent().removeClass('active');
                }).bind('focus', function (e) {

                    var input = angular.element(e.currentTarget);
                    input.parent().addClass('active');
                }).bind('change',function(e) {
                   // Add class filled to form-control's that have a value
                    var input = angular.element(e.currentTarget);
                    input.parent().addClass('active');
                } );

            }
        };
    });

// Sample directive

       Phone number
     <input type="text" class="form-control" name="phonenumber"  id="phonenumber" ng-model="user.phone_number" required maxlength="75">

The purpose of this directive is very simple, add some css class to the target object based on few events and value status..
This directive will work fine if it hasnt any value. but if i have a value populated via model binding (not from keyboard ,via model binding). It wont work.
Ie. I want to execute code "input.parent().addClass('active');"    when the directive/input field  populated the  value via model binding
I tried the change event but it is not working

A: I think what you need is to somehow get hold of the binding set up by ng-model and react when the model changes. ng-model exposes its NgModelController, which in turn exposes the model value, which you can $watch. Something like this:
 app.directive('formControl', function () {
    return {
        restrict: 'C',
        require: '?ngModel',  // the (optional) ng-model on the same element
        link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {

            [...]

            if (ngModel) {
                scope.$watch(function() {
                    return ngModel.$modelValue;
                }, function(newValue, oldValue) {
                    input.parent().addClass('active');
                })
            }
        }
    };
});

Pregnant Kym Herjavec Dishes on Australian Baby Shower, Says Husband Robert Herjavec 'Spoiled' Her
By Jessica Vacco-Bolanos

Fresh off the plane! Pregnant Kym Herjavec may have been jet-lagged at the G'Day USA Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 27 — but for good reason.
Stars Who Have a Twin
The 41-year-old ballroom beauty dished on the Aussie baby shower her husband Robert Herjavec put together for her ahead of the arrival of their twins.
"[Robert] is the best. He spoiled me with a trip back home to Australia to see all my girlfriends," she gushed to Us Weekly and a group of reporters.
DWTS' Hottest Hookups
She continued: "There was a little baby shower and saw my family and stuff so that was nice. I feel really good. I've been keeping active and I think I'll probably slow down now. I'm in the last trimester. I feel like I'm about to explode."
The mom-to-be also revealed that their new little twosome will have some unique toys thanks to her pals.
Cutest Celebrity Baby Announcements
"Oh my gosh, all my girlfriends gave me some really good Australian books, with Australian native animals. I want the kids to know their heritage and that was really sweet, to have those books to be able to read to them," she said. "There was some Aussie onesies and things like that, that you can only get in Australia. That was sweet."
The Dancing With the Stars pro also dished on how the Shark Tank star, 55, helped her choose a healthier option for her French fry pregnancy cravings. "Robert bought me an air fryer and it was his subtle way of like, let's lay off the McDonald's," she joked. "Now I'll use the air fryer and I'll have sweet potato fries and stuff, so the air fryer is my best friend."
Despite the cravings, the professional ballroom dancer has continued to live a healthy lifestyle throughout her pregnancy. Earlier this month, she opened up to Us about her journey to motherhood and how she was careful with exercise after conceiving using IVF. "The doctors were cautious. They didn't want me to workout for the first three months," she says. "Now I'm getting back into it."
As previously reported, Kym confirmed in December 2017 that she and Herjavec are expecting their first children together. "It's a thumbs up," she wrote alongside a sonogram picture on Instagram at the time. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, met when they were paired together on season 20 of DWTS one year prior.

Aurora Games arrives in Albany this Summer
Looking for a unique event to attend this summer in Albany, NY? The Times Union Center and Albany Capital Center will host the first ever Aurora Games in August 2019. Noble Gas Solutions got an exclusive inside scoop on what the Aurora Games will bring to the Capital Region and the world of sports.
What is the Aurora Games?
The Aurora Games is named after the Roman goddess of Dawn. To top sports marketing executive, and Aurora Games creator, Jerry Solomon, a new dawn means a new day is ahead. In every new day, we have a new beginning where anything and everything is possible. Solomon strongly believes that the time has come for women sports to have its own platform. This passion to create a platform came to be after watching the Olympics at Rio. He noted that while there were more female athletes competing, their male counterparts were receiving more coverage. This was the moment for women in sports to take a stand. Soon enough, the seedling of an idea started to blossom into a full-blown 6-day event.
The Games will include the following sports events; tennis, gymnastics, basketball, ice hockey, figure skating, and beach volleyball. So far, there will be two teams, representing the Americas and the World. The stages will be transformed throughout the week for each event, a feat that the Times Union Center and Albany Capital Center are more than capable of handling. Albany is proud to host the first biennial Aurora Games and showcase our great Capital Region. You heard that right; this event will take place every two years, specifically on Olympic off-years to avoid competition.
There will be an advisory board made up of iconic personalities from sports, entertainment, and business judging the competitions. Amongst the board are Olympic athletes Jackie Joyner Kersee, Nadia Comaneci, Tenley Albright, Nancy Kerrigan, and Donna De Varona. Board members will be responsible for scoring, coaching, and driving the passion for this celebration of strong women in sports. Members of our Noble Team had the privilege to meet two of these Olympic athletes, Kersee and Comaneci, at an exclusive reveal event hosted by Hearst.
How do I attend?
This is an event you don't want to miss! Tickets go on sales on March 8th, just in time for International Women's Day. You can now reserve Group and VIP tickets by calling Alyssa at (201) 926-8078. Fans will be able to enjoy musical performances, food tastings, sports clinics, and autograph sessions as the week progresses. For more updates, follow Aurora Games on twitter @AuroraGamesFest or visit their website.

Glow is een nummer van de Ierse singer-songwriter Gavin James uit 2018. Het is de derde single van zijn tweede studioalbum Only Ticket Home.

"Glow" gaat volgens James over moderne relaties en het fijne gevoel dat je krijgt als je verliefd wordt op iemand, maar je tegelijkertijd ook angstig maakt. Ook zingt James over een onzekere relatie die hij ondanks alles toch wil onderhouden. Het nummer had in James' thuisland Ierland met een 65e positie niet veel succes. Buiten Ierland waren Nederland en België de enige landen waar het nummer de hitlijsten bereikte, ook met meer succes. In de Nederlandse Top 40 haalde het de 26e positie, en in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50 werd de 41e positie gehaald.

Leugers lends a hand to Big Brothers Big Sisters with $6,500 donation
Leugers Insurance Agency nominated Big Brother Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke Counties to receive a $6,500 donation as part of Westfield's Legacy of Caring program. Presenting the check are, left to right, Brian Seitz, Vicki Link, Ethan Burd, Morgan Albers, Troy Prenger, Mark Heitman, all from Leugers Insurance, Jennifer Bruns, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sister of Shelby & Darke Counties, Jacque Leverette, Keshia Willmann, Sarah Bey, Scott Holthaus, Tony Schwieterman and Brad Seitz, all of Leugers Insurance.
SIDNEY – Big Brother Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke Counties was nominated by Leugers Insurance to receive a $6,500 donation as part of Westfield's Legacy of Caring program.
Each year, Westfield independent insurance agents, like Leugers Insurance Agency, are invited to nominate a local nonprofit for the Legacy of Caring program. The Westfield Insurance Foundation, an independent private foundation endowed by Westfield, awards the donation as an extension of the fundamental role that insurance plays every day in stabilizing families, businesses and communities in times of uncertainty.
This year, the grant program, funded by Westfield Insurance Foundation, is focused on supporting nonprofits that are helping families and businesses stabilize and recover from the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the last 15 months, nonprofits became increasingly important as the number of people in need increased while funding support simultaneously evaporated. Many agents participating in the Legacy of Caring program this year elected to nominate their local Feeding America food bank, Urban League or United Way because of the critical resources they provide to their communities.
"As our businesses and schools reopen and 'return to normal,' Westfield's Legacy of Caring program reminds us that may take years to return to the stability and security people and businesses, including nonprofits, enjoyed before the pandemic happened," said Mark Heitman, producer.
"We are so grateful for the generous support of Leugers Insurance Agency," said Jennifer Bruns, executive director of Big Brother Big Sister of Shelby & Darke Counties. "The Legacy of Caring grant will have a direct impact on our programs and will help us provide the support and hope needed to be successful."
The Westfield Insurance Foundation will donate more than $600,000 to neighborhoods across the country. Leugers Insurance Agency is one of nearly 100 agencies that nominated a nonprofit, including Big Brothers Big Sister of Shelby & Darke Counties, for the Westfield Legacy of Caring grant program.
Westfield has worked with its independent agents in distributing more than $3 million since 2015.
"We value our partnerships with our independent insurance agencies," said Ed Largent, Westfield president, CEO and Westfield Insurance Foundation chair. "2020 was an incredibly tough year, and Westfield recognizes that families trying to achieve and maintain stability were faced with multiple barriers to success. Investing in our agents' communities will help families realize short-term successes with long-lasting outcomes."
Established in 1914, Leugers Insurance Agency Inc. is an independent insurance agency offering complete insurance programs for individuals and businesses as well as a comprehensive lineup of financial services with offices in Maria Stein, Celina and St. Marys.

Hi! A visitor to our site felt the following article might be of interest to you: Leugers lends a hand to Big Brothers Big Sisters with ,500 donation. Here is a link to that story: https://www.sidneydailynews.com/news/202381/leugers-lends-a-hand-to-big-brothers-big-sisters-with-6500-donation


This month's spotlight deals shine a light on the forestry sector. At the moment there are over thirty forestry deals listed on the Maximpact Eco platform and many of these are seeing a high degree of interest from impact investors.
Conducting social and environmental due diligence may be good practice for investors with an eye on impact outcomes, but it certainly costs money and time—and does it really make business sense? Root Capital's new briefing paper uncovers the business case for social and environmental due diligence, showing how the practice pays for itself—and then some.
Our oceans are a precious resource for all of us, yet they are under threat from pollution, overfishing and uncontrolled exploitation. Ghislaine Maxwell, founder of the TerraMar Ocean Project, explains why now is the time for every one of us to take the pledge and start protecting our oceans today.
Pressures on our natural resources are getting bigger—and the consequences of depleting them are getting clearer—but a global movement for sustainability is now encouraging an explosion in the kind of responsible resource businesses that belong in our impact portfolios.
MINT s are all over the financial pages—that is, the emerging economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey. But while these countries may be a discovery for mainstream investors, impact and social benefit investors have known about them for years—and are now in pole position to place impact capital where it really counts.
Services are a hot issue for the growing impact sector. We need them—and it looks like some data-based services will soon be coming our way. But is this all we need to succeed? This blog looks at what services impact sector really needs—and where we have to look to find them.

The Ostroy Report
The Ostroy Report is an aggressive voice for Democrats, the progressive agenda and serves as a watchdog of the Republican Party and President Trump.
The Reason Why Trump Draws Huge Crowds
Donald Trump's rallies are true political phenomenons, drawing the kind of crowds normally reserved for rock stars. But the reason why 10,000-20,000 people wait in line to see him isn't because they're hungry for a detailed policy speech by one of America's great thinkers.
Nor are they coming to see him, contrary to much speculation among the punditry, because they're so "angry." MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff interviewed Trump supporters at a recent rally but these 'great American patriots' couldn't even intelligently articulate why they're so enraged. One exasperated woman sighed, saying she's "Tired of all the lies we've been told...and I believe everything Donald Trump says..." I guess she missed the Politifact study illustrating that Trump tells the truth just 1% of the time.
So what is it then that's driving this unprecedented attendance? It's simple: Trump's rallies are as hot a commodity as Jerry Springer tickets. His "fans" are there for the spectacle not the substance. They want the hockey fight, not the game itself. The game bores them. They just come for the brawls and bloodshed. And Trump gives 'em plenty of both. "Don-ald, Don-ald, Don-ald!"
It's the same reason why MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the mainstream media lavishes so much free airtime on Trump, hanging on his every word and covering his rallies live like they're U2 concerts. Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and all the other GOP hopefuls are lucky if they get a 20-second clip, while Trump's on the tube 24/7. He's a ratings bonanza, guaranteed to do or say something so outrageous and offensive that it would make even a train wreck wince. Racism? Sexism? Xenophobia? Bullying? It's all part of the daily Donald Trump Road Show.
To be sure, the media can't get enough of Trump. And neither can the simple-minded citizens of Smalltown, USA, for whom Trump is likely the biggest celebrity they'll ever see up close. Let's face it, when you're in Ames, IA, Hampton, NH or Hilton Head, SC, going to a Trump rally just might be the most exciting thing you can possibly do.
But bracing the November weather to vote, however, is an entirely different commitment. History and statistics show that come election day these fired-up Trumpites will likely stay home, click the remote and simply switch to another salacious reality show.
Posted by The Ostroy Report at 8:59 AM
If Trump would get the nomination and win in Nov. 2016, we as a country is doomed. Thanks to the repubs we have been rotting from within for the last 35+ years. If only left leaning voters realized that if they would vote in the midterms too, we could have the progressive country that they so want.
I do not feel that Lowell, MA has small minded citizens. You are completely ridiculous!!! Your article was a JOKE.
I disagree. Below is a piece I wrote last month about Trump's rise:
Instead of writing a passé condemnation piece on Trump, I thought I'd give a serious attempt at explaining his rise in the Republican field. With a few notable exceptions, there has been a pervasive failure in the mainstream press to adequately explain Trump's success.
The common narrative attributes Trump's appeal to his reality star status—a master of the media, and while this is partially true, it's a narrative that is easy to push and an analysis that is very surface. In actuality, the underlying fundamentals of Trump's platform have been brewing for decades, so it was inevitable that at some point they would boil over. What came as a surprise to almost everyone was the perfect storm of events that allowed a shrewd opportunistic billionaire to exploit this pent up political pressure.
Trump's ascension to front-runner is more about policy than the GOP establishment or pundit class would like to acknowledge and there seems to be a sense of denial about it.
In a generation, Reaganism has matured into a conservative orthodoxy of corporatism and austerity, and while Republican voters were initially enticed with a new wave of conservatism – lower taxes, less waste, less of their money given to lazy "welfare queens" – they were never truly on board with the ends of this orthodoxy. This same umbrella of conservative doctrine also brought in largely unpopular policies like "free" trade agreements which resulted in the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs and the prospect of looming privatization or cuts to Social Security.
Increasingly, and particularly with the advent of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, wealthy donors' influence over candidate's messaging and platforms means politicians have to more strictly adhere to economic policies that favor tax cuts for the wealthy and less investment in infrastructure and social programs. These hard-line policies often are at a disconnect with voters who would prefer a more modest form of fiscal discipline, but big money in politics typically ensures these platforms don't get voiced, at least not on the national level. To facilitate Republican victory, candidates often have to rely on wedge issues like abortion or immigration to pick up some of the slack of their economic policies. Behind the scenes, the donors are largely pragmatists, not idealists, and generally favor robust levels of immigration as it plays a role in maintaining higher levels of consumption and construction activity, props up real estate values, and deters upward wage pressure. Beholden to the donor base, often when elected, politicians grandstand but do nothing serious to advance their tough talk on immigration.
It shouldn't be that surprising that the Republican establishment house of cards, which ignored a whole subsection of its electorate, was bound to come undone at some point.
The average white, middle-to-retirement age, middle class worker knows things aren't going in the right direction. It's harder for them to secure a job or get a raise. And lacking any comprehensive understanding of economics or politics, they're susceptible to blaming it on immigrants and people of color because that's what they've been told not-so-subtlety by the GOP. They see infrastructure crumbling around them while they're working hard to pay their taxes and know America has never been like this. Seeing their politicians not want to repave roads was never part of the conservative deal--after all Eisenhower built the highway system. All in all, they feel betrayed and understand - correctly - that no one is listening to them on immigration or budget priorities or outsourcing of jobs, and that America left behind or sold out an entire section (often less educated and living in rural areas) of the population.
Meanwhile, the country is rapidly changing around them. Tremendous advances in technology, growing ethnic diversity, increased cultural and religious heterogeneity, and a liberalized social and family structure result in a growing sense of detachment from the American society they once knew. According to a September 2015 Reuters/Ispos poll, 58% of Americans "don't identify with what America has become" and 53% "feel like a stranger in their own country." This is the first generation, perhaps in the history of the world, where change happens so quickly that a way of life becomes obsolete by the time of someone's retirement age.
Understanding the mindset of this group, it isn't so hard to see why Trump is so attractive. As an excellent opinion piece in The Week recently put it, "These are the voters who hate modern, tight-suited, Democratic-style liberalism not because it offends God, but because it is "killing" the America they knew. It threatens their jobs with globalization and immigration. They hate tassle-loafered right-wingers who flippantly tell them to get retrained in computers at age 58, and warn that Medicare might be cut. They built their lives around promises that have been broken and revoked over the past two decades. Trump looks like their savior. Someone who can't be bought by the people who downsized them. Or at least, he is their revenge."
Trump, of course, knows exactly how to position himself and provide a mix of positions that don't otherwise get advocated alongside each other and he knows how to play on fear more than anyone. For all the tough talk on terrorism and the need for security, Trump is speaking to broader insecurities with economic undertones. His close-minded supporters are fine with keeping out a group of people with whom they are unfamiliar because it might threaten their way of life and make it harder to find a job. I suspect, generally, the need for "security" is a guise for broader xenophobia. To underscore this point, consider the inverse relationship between the consumer confidence index and the proportion of citizens who feel immigration should be decreased in the graph below.
The policy fundamentals behind Trump's success should not be overstated, however. He is doing well to an extent because of his loud-mouth anti-politician persona--a breath of fresh air to a broad spectrum of the public who are sick of candidates who speak elegantly but accomplish little. It's clear Republican voters want an "outsider," and while Trump is the most vocal outsider, he isn't the only one. Ben Carson's appeal, while in a completely different form, is also one of an outsider, non-politician. In the chart below, look at how Trump and Carson's support ebbs and flows almost lock-step from August to early November, as if Republican voters were saying "anything but the establishment." But the "outsiders" - Carson (who I believe will continually decline) and Fiorina - have crashed, and Trump's polls have undoubtedly benefited. Trump's staying power as the outsider suggests, apart from his omnipresence in the media, a deeper policy explanation, which returns to my original thesis.
Every other candidate has nothing new to offer on economic policy. It's the same establishment trickery: flat tax, (regressive) tax on consumption, cutting spending on infrastructure, cutting Social Security. A loud mouth who peddles gutting Medicare and replacing it with something worse (shades of Chris Christie) will not go very far because voters do want substance, not just style. Furthermore, they understand a candidate who accepts big donations from powerful interests are bought and sold--a topic that would never be brought up in the GOP debate if not for Trump. Voters believe Trump when he says, "I've been on the other side of [donating to politicians] my whole life, and I know how the game works." The ironic thing, however, is in our broken campaign finance system that in order to not accept money from the wealthy, you have to already be wealthy.
Every article I read from liberals is attacking the conservatives as being the uneducated and non-thinkers. This article points to fans who cannot speak. Why do you not write about the TV interviews of Democrats in the streets in Baltimore, Ferguson, and other Black Live Matters events. The stats show that the lowest educated folks in America come from minorities, and come mainly from urban areas. Yet, writers like this column want to say that the ignorance is with all the white folks.

Ramaphosa announces R500-billion Covid-19 package for South Africa

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced an "extraordinary coronavirus budget" on Tuesday. (Reuters)
READ ALL OUR CORONAVIRUS COVERAGE
Speaking to the nation on Tuesday night, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced an "extraordinary coronavirus budget", adding up to R500-billion injected into the economy.
The funding will come from internal sources, such as the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), and Ramaphosa said discussions had begun with international financial institutions, such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The R500-billion makes up 10% of the national gross domestic product (GDP).
Health will receive priority, with the poor and most vulnerable catered for in a range of measures that include an increase in the social grant and billions of rands in subsidies for business and wages.
Ramaphosa started his address from the Union Buildings in Pretoria, saying: "It has demanded of you great fortitude and endurance … required great sacrifice. I salute you and thank you." The national lockdown, now into its 26th day, had given the government space to save "tens of thousands of lives".
"Our foremost priority is health interventions, and to save lives," he said, adding that R20-billion would go to financing the healthcare response.
With 3 465 confirmed positive Covid-19 tests and 58 deaths, Ramaphosa reiterated the government's position that South Africa is still in the early stages of the pandemic and that this would last for the "foreseeable future".
The economic package is the third phase of the government's strategy, with the president saying the "pandemic requires an economic response that is equal to the scale of disruption it is causing".
The first phases included tax relief, wage support, funding for small business and a disaster release fund. The initial phases have been heavily criticised for not putting enough support into the economy, as business shut down and people lost their jobs.
The third phase will involve big-money interventions in the economy, ranging from a substantial infrastructure build to speedy implementation of economic reform and transformation of the economy. Ramaphosa was light on details for these sweeping plans but promised that the government would "outline this in the days to come".
To create the R500-billion plan, Ramaphosa said he had met with business, community, labour, premiers, mayors and MECs. Cabinet had then considered various proposals that would boost health spending, bring relief from hunger, support companies, help people in social distress and help with a phased reopening of the economy.
Of the R500-billion proposed economic stimulus, R130-billion will come from a reprioritisation of the current budget, with the rest of the funds to be raised from local sources, including the UIF, as well as from global partners and international finance institutions that have worked on financing packages to assist countries to address the effects of the coronavirus.
The biggest part of the R500-billion would be a R200-billion loan guarantee scheme, in partnership with major banks, the treasury and the South African Reserve Bank. This, Ramaphosa said, would help to pay salaries and suppliers. The scheme is open to companies with a turnover of less than R300-million a year and would support about 700 000 firms and three million employees.
R20-billion will be allocated to municipalities for emergency water supplies, public transport, food and shelter for homeless people. The president noted that in only a few weeks the number of people plunged into poverty and suffering food insecurity had risen dramatically. R20-billion has also been set aside for the relief of hunger and social distress.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) will also begin implementing a technology-based solution to roll out food assistance on scale through vouchers to ensure assistance reaches people faster.
R40-billion has also been set aside for income support for workers whose employers are unable to pay their staff.
A further R100-billion will be set aside for the protection of jobs, as well as to create jobs.
The finer details of all these plans would be shared in an adjusted budget, which would be shared by the minister of finance.
Commenting on the historic economic recovery plan, Ramaphosa said the country and the world would never be the same, but that his ambition was that we forged a new economy with greater equality.
He finished by saying he would address the nation again on Thursday on "measures that will be taken beyond the nationwide lockdown to reopen the economy".

Braggville is a former postal village located in Massachusetts, now within the towns of Holliston in Middlesex County, Medway in Norfolk County and Milford in Worcester County. Though people had settled the land long before the incorporation of the town of Holliston, Braggville's unofficial history began on March 8, 1785 when Alexander Bragg purchased farmland there. The village itself however, would be named for his nephew, Colonel Arial Bragg, Holliston's first shoe and boot maker as well as the agrarian community's first wholesale manufacturer. Braggville was also the site of several quarries of Milford pink granite, which supplied buildings and railroad projects in the United States in the late 19th century. After a century of economic prowess, the village fell into decline following the First World War.

Decline and obscurity
With the emergence of the Post–World War I recession much of the town's business came to a standstill. By March 1919, the Boston and Albany Railroad had ceased providing passenger service to the Braggville station, as well as all freight service. Although its schoolhouse would remain standing for several more decades, the end of Braggville as a would-be town came in June 1919, when the U.S. Mail shuttered its post office.

Geography

Braggville does not have official borders defined by the United States Census Bureau, and throughout its history has held nebulous boundaries. The U.S. Geological Survey places it as a populated place solely in the town of Holliston, however historical accounts describe it as partially extending into Milford and Medway

It is located  west of Boston and is adjacent to Interstate 495. Massachusetts Route 16 passes through the village, bisecting it almost evenly.

Adjacent towns
Braggville is located in eastern Massachusetts, and bordered by:

Holliston on the north
Medway on the south and east
Milford on the west

I do want to put it out there that I have always preferred the navigation in QuickBooks Online. Why? Because you can get to all aspects of their software pretty easily.
That said, Xero is a very progressive company and they have features like Expense Management. I do think this demonstrates that Xero are continuously aiming to give business owners what they want and that's a good thing.
What has Xero moved where?
Probably the biggest difference in the latest Xero navigation, is that accounting features are separated from the operational features of the software.
In reality, this is a very good thing. Why? Because office staff who use Xero accounting software shouldn't necessarily have ready access to areas of Xero where they can affect the accounting side of the business.
Links to the integrations that Xero now owns (like WorkflowMax and their App marketplace) are also in the Organisation menu.
Is Xero getting harder and harder to use?
It does bring up a couple other thoughts though.
Is Xero Accounting software really beautiful the way it is?
How will it remain beautiful when they start to implement more and more functionality?
Is it the most beautiful of all?
Xero now has a new search feature where you can press / (or forward slash).
Using this / feature, you can then use the following characters to jump directly to those functions.
What else has Xero updated?
If your user role only gives you access to Expenses, you'll only see an Expense claims menu in the navigation bar. When an Expenses role is combined with a business or accounting role, the Expense claims option shows in the Business menu.
If you only have limited or standard access to Projects, you'll only see a Projects menu in the navigation bar. If you have the admin role, you'll also see a Reports menu.
EzyLearn has launched our new online training course catalogue site giving you the ability to enrol in any individual training course you want — whenever you are ready. This gives you courses at individual course prices.
It's a great option if you don't want to pay for all levels of short courses for one price. It also means that rather than commit to an extensive TAFE course, you can upskill in Xero right now from the comfort of your own home.
Don't forget you can try before you buy with our FREE Xero Micro Course!
