A councillor says there is great fear among villagers in West Cornwall that they will lose their doctor's surgery.
The first many of the residents of Pendeen knew about their village GP practice being up for sale is when they saw it listed with estate agents Lodge & Thomas.
The building is being sold by its doctor owners, though the GPs who run the practice aren't in favour of the sale.
Local Cornwall councillor Sue James says she has been inundated with emails, letters and social media messages from people who are scared they will lose the surgery, which is believed to care for around 700 patients.
The Pendeen health centre, known as the Penalvearne surgery, is a sub-branch of a parent surgery at Morrab Road, Penzance.
She added: "People may say 'it's not the end of the world as there's another surgery in St Just which isn't far away'. But how would that surgery cope with around 700 more patients?
The land was donated by a local family for the use of a doctor's surgery 30 years ago but its current owners Dr Daniel Kingston and Dr Caroline Fullick – who are not the GP practice's partners – have decided to sell the building.
The building is listed for sale at £265,000.
Ms James said she has already been contacted by patients willing to pledge money to buy the building to keep the practice running.
She has put the Pendeen surgery sale as an item on St Just Town Council's agenda for Monday, February 11.
The partners at Morrab Surgery – Drs Neil Armstrong, Stewart Rutherfurd and Jane Martin – have issued a statement about the sale.
"The partners at Morrab Surgery wish to make clear that the sale of the building is solely a decision made by the owners of the building, Dr Daniel Kingston and Dr Caroline Fullick.
"Morrab Surgery rents the building from the owners and has no desire, or plans, to move from the current location.
"NHS England and Kernow CCG are fully supportive and we are all committed to continuing to provide a medical practice for the community.

10 Directors For The Hobbit
By Joshua Winning 2010-06-01T07:00:00.151Z Feature
So Del Toro's out, here's our replacement wishlist
The Director: And with a heavy heart, Guillermo Del Toro did leave behind Middle Earth… Who better to take his place as Hobbit helmer than the very original hobbit himself? Jackson's been key in shepherding J.R.R Tolkien's epic vision from page to screen, having helmed the masterful (and megabuck) Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
He's got stacks of style and heart, and he knows Middle Earth inside out (he created most of it, for heaven's sake). Clearly, he's the man for the job. If prior commitments (i.e. Tintin 2 ) don't get in the way. Give this man a green light, pronto!
Hobbit CV: Duh, Lord Of The Rings . Also, he co-wrote the script for The Hobbit …
Alfonso Cuarn
The Director: Another guy with a brilliant eye, Cuarón always has heaps of pazazz, but knows that the story is what really counts. He'd treat Tolkien's material with the reverence that it deserves while giving it his own dark spin.
Hobbit CV: Cuarón's contribution to the Harry Potter saga remains the series' most solid entry. Forcing the movieverse crafted by Chris Columbus to grow up, Cuarón all but threw out the existing Potter sets for a new, more organic look that re-located Hagrid's hut and turned Hogwarts into a wondrously weird warren of magic.
The Director: Alright, Jackson might be too busy and Guillermo Del Toro might be debunking for greener pastures. But we're sure Ridley Scott knows his orcs from his hobbites. The director has helmed numerous big budget costume dramas (see below), and is a dab hand at that thing called 'The Epic'.
Hobbit CV: Fantasy Legend proved Scott had an eye for fantastical visuals, while the sword-clashing wonder of Gladiator and Kingdom Of Heaven (and, alright, Robin Hood ) is proof enough that the 72-year-old can bring the medieval action.
The Director: The Hobbit could use somebody with a little 'Get up and go' – which is exactly what somebody like Matthew Vaughn would bring to the adaptation. Known for being a man who delivers, Vaughn is just what The Hobbit needs - a good kick up the arse.
Downside: he's already committed to the demanding universes of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class , meaning Vaughn probably won't have the time (or energy) to attach himself to a couple of years' worth of Hobbit …
Hobbit CV: Stardust mixes the otherworldly with clear Tolkien-esque nods, and finds the humour in amid the peril. Perfect for The Hobbit .
The Director: He's proved he can do sci-fi (did we mention we love Moon ? No? We love Moon !). Not only that, but he proved he can do sci-fi with oodles of style, subtle psychoanalysis and the retention of a beating heart.
Which means Jones would slot into Middle Earth like a fiery blade into orc flesh. He'd also give the film a bit of that Moon edge, which is exactly what it needs considering it's based in a fantasy world where, really, anything could happen.
Hobbit CV: Directed Moon and is currently helming new mind-bender Source Code . The Hobbit would be a new challenge for the moongazer, but we know he's up to it.
The Director: This Goonie is also a bit of a filmmaker, as it goes. Having hung up his hairy hobbit feet, Astin has helmed episodes of 100 Deeds For Eddie McDown, Angel and Jeremiah , and has been responsible for a fair few short films.
Could The Hobbit be just the film for him to break into the world of moviemaking? Sure it's a massive task, but a lot of the groundwork has already been laid by Guillermo Del Toro (the script's done, the creatures have been designed, locations have been scouted), so all Astin needs to do is jump in and get his hands dirty.
Hobbit CV: Uh, something called Lord Of The Rings .
The Director: Why not?! Sure he's more of a contemporary director, but Wright's maverick charm could lend The Hobbit a new air of tongue-in-cheek fun. Not only would that make it a thrill ride of energetic, um, thrills, but it would also set The Hobbit apart from the Lord Of The Rings and make it resolutely its own entity.
Hobbit CV: This would be new turf for Wright, but the hand-held stylings of Spaced and Hot Fuzz would lend The Hobbit a gritty, grubby, off-the-beaten-track chutzpah.
The Director: Cronenberg may have made a name for himself in the movie world by directing odd little body horrors, but he's also more recently drifted into hardened drama territory. Basically, he likes to try new things, and we'd love to see him get his hands on Gandalf and co. Just think what he'd do with them…
Hobbit CV: Rabid, Shivers and Videodrome went murky and morbid with their depictions of individuals horrified by the mechanics of their own bodies. Eastern Promises was a very human drama. Smash them together, and you've got yourself a heartfelt, bloody murky Middle Earth…
The Director: Former music video director who favours the weird and the wonderful, and is great at concocting iconic images that just refuse to shift from the brain. The Hobbit meets Adaptation ? Why the hell not!
Hobbit CV: Previously adapted a children's book – Where The Wild Things Are – to the big screen, despite the original tome lasting mere pages. Endlessly creative, then, and with the kind of indie, nomadic spirit that could translate into a powerful Hobbit .
The Director: Alright, he's directed Dog Soldiers and The Descent , he's not exactly known for doing big epic landscapes – and when he does ( Centurion ), it's a bit, well, off . But Marshall has bags of promise as a director, and we think that under the guiding hand of producer Peter Jackson he could really deliver with The Hobbit .
Working from somebody else's script would also give Marshall a solid blue print to cleave to, giving him the chance to concentrate on some nutty visuals. Go on, give him a go.
Hobbit CV: The battles in Centurion were the best bits, showing Marshall can handle himself on the battlefield if he needs to.

Chile: Solar project activity increases; renewables account for 5.25% of energy mix
The latest statistics show that 68.3 MW worth of solar projects are currently under construction in Chile, compared to just 3.3 MW in February. Meanwhile, renewables accounted for 5.25% of the country's energy mix in Q1.
May 3, 2013 Blanca Díaz López
April's statistics from Chile's Renewable Energy Center reveal that there are currently 68.3 MW of solar projects under construction in the country. As of February, 3.3 MW of solar were being built. Despite the pipeline, however, current solar capacity in operation in Chile remains at only 3.6 MW since last year.
The report also shows that Chile's environmental authroity, Sistema de Evaluación Ambiental, has approved 3.064 GW of solar projects as of April. Meanwhile, project applications that have been submitted, but not yet approved, total 1.164 GW.
Since February, just one project proposal for a solar park has been submitted to the environmental authority – the project San Andrés with a capacity of 48 MW, which was presented by SunEdison.
Regarding the generation of electricity, the report shows that 5.25% of the mix was covered by renewable energy in the first quarter of 2013. Of this, solar energy accounted for just 0.01 %.
Under Chilean law 20.257, 5% of the generation has to come from renewable energy sources in Chile between the years 2010 to 2014.
Changes in the regulation for renewable energies have been in discussion for a while in Chile.

Greg McKnight scored his first outright rally win when he won today's 2WD RSAC Rally. His winning margin of over a minute made it look easy, but it in rallying, nothing is ever easy. On the first stage he lost all the oil from a front damper and with no spare had to carry on. Then a puzzling misfire appeared and it seems to have been caused by the ceramic collar on the spark plugs cracking. Then the alternator packed in on the final stage: "We didn't have a spare for that either," said Greg, "so we are lucky to be here."
Initially Matthew Robinson and Iain Wilson were having a rare old tussle for second place, but over the final two stages Wilson opened up the gap to ensure the Yorkshireman stayed in third place.
As predicted dust was an issue during the day as Matthew explained: "I've got more dust in my chest after a day's rallying than a week's worth of road planing," said the roadbuilding contractor at the finish, while clutching a Magnum double caramel, "purely to unclog my throat, you understand," he added.
Wilson was rather less polite: "Half way through the first stage I tried to swallow. Wrong move," said Iain, "I should have spat, not swallowed, I nearly choked!"
Angus Lawrie's fourth place was nothing short of magnificent in the Corsa while Keith Riddick was equally impressive in his fifth placed MG ZR.
"I had a bit of a moment in SS4," said Angus, "but that was because the tyres were wearing out so quickly," while Riddick had his own troubles as co-driver Kirsty explained: "On the start line of the first stage I wound down the window to hand out my Time Card, but then the window wouldn't go up, but we got it fixed at the end of SS2," said the dust caked Kirsty. Keith added: "We also broke an engine mounting. It was a bit rough in places for the wee MG."
Both young drivers were well chuffed with their equal third fastest through the penultimate stage behind Wilson and McKnight. Rounding off the top six overall was Steve Bannister.

By Jafferson Ndhlovu,
2018 World Cup qualifiers Africa zone for most groups will to end this weekend. But for group D involving Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Senegal and South Africa will have to wait just a little bit until the Tuesday the 14th of November 2017.
This friday, the 10th November though at the Peter Mukaba Stadium, in Polokwane South Africa host Senegal for a match that Fifa ordered that be replayed. The initial match was won by South Africa.
In the aftermath Fifa discovered irregularities in the handling of the match and a Ghanaian referee in charge was found wanting and tempering with the outcome of the match. Fifa found that there was outside interference with match official's help. The man at the centre was reprimanded with a life ban from football activities falling under the umbrella of Fifa. A replay was ordered.
None of two teams protested South Africa and Senegal but Burkina Faso did and strangely Fifa has decided on that yet. Though Fifa agreed to foot the bill of hosting the said rematch.
Bafana Bafana were fully in contention for qualification. But it appears that recall disillusioned them and went on to lose back to back against Cape Verde both home and away with an identical scoreline 2-1.
Burkina Faso and Senegal could not take advantage of that to completely eliminate South Africa as they had two stalemates in their back to matches. Nil in Senegal and 2all in Burkina Faso.
Bafana Bafana regroup and beat the Burkinabes at home 3-1 while the Teranga Lions travelled to Island of Cape Verde and won 2nil. To send them right back on top of Group D.
A win for the hosts this Friday will give them a huge boost heading into the final match four days later in Senegal and will throw the whole group into another interesting final day of games. Because all four teams will have a say in who takes top spot.
But should the Teranga Lions win in South Africa then they are heading to their second World Cup finals. Following the class of 2002 dubbed France B.
These teams have beaten each once in the past. And they have recorded draws in the period running from 2005 to date. Ignoring the cancelled match. They have met a total of 10 times producing 10 goals with 5 apiece. South Africa were the last victors in 2015. And Senegal first victors in 2005.
There isn't much to separate these two sides in terms of average age. Though SA has more aged players on average. Running at 28.8 as opposed to Senegal at 27.1
South African defender Morgan Gould at 34 stands out as the most senior in both side as the eldest in Teranga Lions is K N'Diaye at 32. They both share the teenages at the age of 19.
There are no reported injuries in both sides. And to be excited will Senegal after their Anfield Stadium talisman Sadio Mane played in Liverpool's demolition of West Ham United. Mane had not seen competitive football action after injuring himself doing duty for his country in Cape Verde.
He was a doubt and admittedly so Jurgen Klopp was astonished at his performance after a long lay off and trained with the team twice. But played like true Teranga Lion. Senegal needs every manpower they can have.

Suicide bomber kills 20 in Yemen
Sources say the attackers drove two vehicles into the Defence Ministry compound.

SANAA - At least 20 people were killed on Thursday in a car bomb and gun battle at the Yemeni defence ministry compound in the capital Sanaa, sources inside the complex said, in one of the most serious attacks in the past 18 months.
The defence ministry said the attack targeted the ministry's hospital and most of the gunmen had been killed or wounded.
"The attackers have exploited some construction work there to carry out this criminal act ... the situation is under control," the ministry said in a statement on its website.
No one claimed responsibility for the attack. But the US-allied country has been grappling with a security threat by al Qaeda-linked militants, who have repeatedly attacked government officials and installations over the past two years.
Witnesses said the explosion shook the compound in the old district of Sanaa, where the country's central bank is also located.
"The attack took place shortly after working hours started at the ministry, when a suicide bomber drove a car into the gate," the defence ministry source said.
Ambulance sirens and gunshots were heard after the blast as soldiers exchanged fire with the gunmen, said to have been disguised in Yemeni army uniforms, who had stormed the compound.
A military source said that at least 20 people, including militants, were killed in the attack and dozens were wounded. The Yemeni health ministry appealed to citizens to donate blood to help save the wounded.
At least two sources inside the defence ministry said the attackers came in two vehicles. One was driven by a suicide bomber who attacked the gate of the compound, while armed men entered the compound in the second, the sources said. The ministry statement made no reference to a suicide attacker.
Violence is common in Yemen, where an interim government is grappling with southern secessionists, al Qaeda-linked militants and northern Houthi rebels, as well as severe economic problems inherited from veteran President Ali Abdallah Saleh who was forced out of office in 2011.
The insurgents were emboldened by a decline in government control over the country during protests that eventually ousted Saleh. They seized several southern cities before being driven out in 2012.
Al Qaeda militants have killed hundreds of Yemeni soldiers and members of the security forces in a series of attacks since an offensive, which the United States has supported with intelligence and drones, drove them out of their strongholds.
In July last year, an al Qaeda suicide bomber wearing a Yemeni army uniform killed more than 90 people rehearsing for a military parade in Sanaa. Al Qaeda later claimed responsibility for the attack.
Yemen's defense minister, Major General Muhammad Nasir Ahmad, escaped a car bomb on his motorcade in September 2012 that killed at least 12 other people.

Donations prop up Ukraine's underfunded army
Olha Bosak interview to Business Ukraine magazine on behalf of Ukrainian Freedom Fund, Kyiv, September 2014
U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC),
Washington, D.C., Wednesday, Oct ober24, 2014
Private fundraising has played a key role in allowing Ukraine to defend itself militarily
Over the past six months Ukraine's armed forces have surprised many observers with its ability to resist Russian aggression and liberate much of the Donbas from occupation by Kremlin-backed insurgents. Prior to the conflict in east Ukraine, many had written Ukraine's military off as a corrupt and ineffective fighting force. Stripped by successive governments of funding and suffering from a top-heavy hierarchy featuring a disproportionate number of generals and not enough combat-experienced officers, few expected the Ukrainian army to be capable of mounting serious resistance to any outside threat.
These grim predictions appeared largely justified when the Ukrainian armed forces retreated from Crimea in March 2014 without offering any coordinated resistance to Russia's lightning invasion and seizure of the peninsula. However, when Russian agents began seizing towns and cities in eastern Ukraine in April 2014, the Ukrainian government made the decision to stand and fight, plunging the Ukrainian army into its first ever war. The conflict has confirmed many of the misgivings previously held about Ukraine's army – namely that it is poorly led, poorly equipped and vulnerable to corruption. Nevertheless, few would argue that the flawed performance of 2014 was above and beyond expectations.
One of the key factors enabling the Ukrainian army to put up a fight has been the mobilization of the general public in support of the country's armed forces. Thousands have joined volunteer battalions, while millions of ordinary Ukrainians (and international sympathizers) have donated money to help fund the defence of the country. This unprecedented fundraising effort has helped finance the war effort and provided crucial supplies for troops. While it is difficult to calculate exactly how much has been raised, it is clear that this financial support has been vital for the Ukrainian war effort – some have even called it decisive.
Inevitably, among all the goodwill and activism there have also been instances of corruption and attempts to exploit public engagement in the conflict to con people and steal funds meant for the Ukrainian military. Business Ukraine spoke to the Ukrainian Freedom Fund - one of the international groups involved in fundraising efforts for the Ukrainian military - and asked them what steps they have taken to make sure that all funds donated by members of the public find their way to the intended recipients and are not syphoned off along the way.
Who were the driving forces behind the establishment of the Ukrainian Freedom Fund?
The Ukrainian Freedom Fund (UFF) was set up by several Ukrainian and foreign entrepreneurs. It has also been endorsed by the EU-Ukraine Business Council, the US-Ukraine Business Council and the European Business Association. At the time of the Crimea crisis in early 2014 it was already clear that we needed to take action as a society in order to support the security and defence of Ukraine. The process was essentially reflexive, with all residents of Ukraine forced to contemplate defending their country much like a homeowner must defend his home against thieves. The UFF was designed as a tool to involve as many people as possible in the process of defending the country - not only those who live in Ukraine, but also sympathizers all over the world. The threat Ukraine is facing today has major global consequences and while we all hope that it will not develop into World War III, clearly the international community has a vested interest in supporting Ukraine's efforts to defend itself.
What kind of assurances can you offer to donors that their financial support will reach the desired recipients?
All the financial activities of the UFF are audited according to international standards by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The UFF is the only fund in Ukraine whose activity is monitored in this manner by professional auditors. We provide all the necessary receipts, orders from commanders, tender proposals, and commercial offers to our auditors for verification. Procurement reports and statistics are also posted on the official UFF website, while the fund's Facebook page also provides regular updates.
How have your aid efforts developed since the launch of the fund?
UFF has grown organically and remains the only international charitable foundation bringing together volunteers around the world to raise funds for the purchase of non-lethal supplies to support the Ukrainian army and help civilians affected by the Russia's war against Ukraine. We currently have UFF representatives in Brussels, London, New York, Boston, Toronto, Denver and California, with more representatives joining weekly. We are now planning to launch a joint project with partner organizations which will allow us to arrange medical treatment in the United States for wounded soldiers. We are simultaneously working on increasing our volunteer network around the world while also trying to inform international audiences about the realities of the situation in Ukraine.
What kind of people have been your most active donors?
The most active donors so far have been from the US, Canada, and Great Britain. There has also been significant support from the Baltic States and Poland. We have received donations from dozens of countries, including Russia. Some of these donations have come from members of the Ukrainian diaspora, but many have been sent by well-wishers who have no personal connection to Ukraine. This backing from ordinary members of the public in a variety of countries has been very encouraging and suggests that international support for Ukraine is not limited to the political arena.
How quickly did the international community respond to your aid efforts?
The response of the international community was rapid and efficient. In the first six weeks following the UFF launch we received more than USD 150,000 in donations – around 80% of which came from international donors.
What would be your advice to anyone who wants to support Ukraine but is afraid that their donations may not reach those most in need?
It is crucial to make sure that the aid organization which you are donating to can be trusted. As a potential donor I would try to find out who stands behind any fundraising organization. If it is a reputable organization it should provide detailed reports of purchases including photo and video evidence. It is also important to check who recommends or publicly endorses any fundraisers.
What are the lessons for Ukraine's civil society of the grassroots aid efforts which have been launched over the past year in the country?
It would have taken years to achieve the kind of progress which we have seen in the development of Ukraine's civil society over the past year of revolution and war. In the 1990s not many ordinary Ukrainians knew what NGOs were all about, and many did not really understand why there was any need for charitable organizations in Ukrainian society. During Soviet times it was common to assume that the state would take care of everything and address all social issues. As a result of the Communist system people got used to the idea that society should be passive while the state resolved all social issues. It has taken many years for these Soviet attitudes to be replaced by a more European approach to dealing with social issues. We are now witnessing a return to the European values which underpin the existence of a healthy NGO sector. The Euromaidan revolution taught us that our demands will only be met when we unite as a society – it is an important lesson which has provided Ukraine's civil society with a major boost.

SUSTAINABLE PLAY's mission is to publish thoughtful outdoor narratives consistent with the notion of sustainable development: cultivating wellness through wilderness in a manner that preserves the wild for those who follow. Sustainable Play is literary activism; a narrative praxis. We're doing our job if we inspire you, just for a moment, to reframe your worldview. Although Sustainable Play isn't strictly environmental, adventure, or nature writing, it is writing that celebrates wildness.
Sustainable Play's founder and Editor-in-Chief is Brad Rassler. Brad's stories have appeared in Ascent, Alpinist, Climbing, Outside, Powder, Sierra, and other outdoor publications. His first feature profile, "Running Talus," a cover story for Climbing magazine, explored the effort to convince Yosemite climbers to protect their climbs using nuts rather than pitons, which tended to scar the rock.

Q: How to find images in a specific folder with a size not multiple of 2? I've some folders with about 200 images and I'd like to highlight the images with a size not multiple of 2.
Is there an efficient way of doing so?
Best Regards!

A: Here is a Python script that print all images that have a size which is not a multiple of 2. It simply finds all images and use PIL to get the dimension.
import glob
from PIL import Image

# Get all images
image_path = 'PATH TO YOUR IMAGES'
images = glob.glob(image_path + '/**.png')  # Depending on your images extension
images_not_pair = []

# For all images open them with PIL and get the image size
for image in images:
    with Image.open(image) as im:
        width, height = im.size
        if width % 2 is not 0 or height % 2 is not 0:
            images_not_pair.append(image)

print(images_not_pair)

Buzzard Sighting
David Helton thought his days of drawing cartoon buzzards were over after he left Cleveland in 1990. But the co-creator of one of the city's most iconic images, the WMMS buzzard, failed to realize not everyone was as ready to let go as he was.
In 2006, Helton says he began receiving dozens of e-mails from fans requesting buzzard pictures and sharing their favorite WMMS stories.
"People evidently Googled me and found me," says Helton, who moved back to his birthplace of Chattanooga, Tenn., 18 years ago. "What happened to prompt that, I couldn't tell you."
Though Helton does not have the time or money to fulfill the numerous requests he receives from fans wanting artwork, he is attempting to meet their demands with a new collection of limited-edition postcards released this fall. The 20-card set features some of the most popular buzzard illustrations from the 1970s and 1980s.
"It's no Michelangelo, and it's not da Vinci, but it's something people remember, and I'm glad to be remembered," Helton says.
Helton's timing couldn't be better. His set of postcards comes as WMMS celebrates its 40th anniversary, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is honoring the iconic radio station with a retrospective exhibit.
"Cleveland means so much to me," he says. "It's great to know I mean something to them."
Visit davidheltonillustration.com for more information about Helton's WMMS postcards.

It's been a big week for me. I can't wait to tell you about it.
But first, have you had a chance to schedule your Free, No Obligation Discovery Session?

It's the first step to having a Great Dog in 8 Weeks.
I have seen a lot of changes this year, but this is one that stands out.
This week, I sent my son, Joe, off to his Senior Prom.
Allow me a moment to be a gushy mom.
I remember staring for hours at this boy when he was an infant, just watching him breathe.
I remember sending him off to his first day of Kindergarten.
I remember being amazed at how quickly time flies when I sent him off to his first day of high school.
In a few weeks, Joe will graduate. It's an end of an era.
During my moments of bittersweet nostalgia, I think back to when I would hold my little baby and day dream about what he would become.
There was no question that there was a lot of work ahead. I had so many big dreams for my little boy.
It's not that different from a lot of things in our lives.
We have hopes, dreams, expectations. We plan, learn, and work to help them become a reality.
It's like how most of us feel when we bring a new dog into our families.
We daydream about having our new best friend by our side. About enjoying long walks together. Or about sharing an adventure in the great, big world.
But rarely do we bring home a dog that just immediately understands how to behave in the situations we put them in.
They need training for that.
Those daydreams can become a reality, but it takes work.
A woman stopped by today, cradling her brand-new puppy.
The puppy snuggled in her arms while the woman talked to me about the big plans that she has for this precious, little one.
We talked about training goals.
As the woman was leaving, she made a comment about how holding the puppy reminded her of holding a baby.


CBO builds the financial infrastructure that supports informed decision-making for business and non-profit leaders.
Complete Back Office provides advisory and consulting services to help businesses and nonprofit organizations at every stage have a high functioning back office. Our expertise is establishing systems and best practices when your organization has outgrown "do-it-yourself" bookkeeping.
Complete Back Office is more than your financial services advisor. We are a key partner in the success of your business. We do this by demonstrating our core values of confidence, clarity, and commitment in all interactions.
Your trust starts with confidence in our team and our practices.
Clarity is key. Our goal is to communicate and present information in the most clear and concise manner possible.
We are committed to being a key partner in the success of your business.
Vicki Price founded Complete Back Office in 2013 with the goal of providing understanding and transparency of financial systems, so that owners and managers have the information they need to make sound, bold business decisions. Complete Back Office works with clients in a wide range of industries from government contractors to nonprofits and private schools. Our consulting provides evidence-based financial practices that allow our clients to become the best leaders in their industry.
Under Vicki's leadership, CBO has grown to become a team of entrepreneurs, CPAs, MBAs, and IT specialists. We share a love of numbers and passion for seeing our clients thrive.
"Working with CBO, we were able to completely outsource all our office's accounting and more! They became our virtual office, handling everything from receiving mail, recording payments, and paying bills to filing tax-related paperwork, negotiating contracts and working with our event planners. Most importantly, we finally had timely and accurate reports so we could make informed decisions. We are thrilled with the quality of their work. They are available and friendly, and so easy to work with!"
"We brought in Complete Back Office to get caught up on our QuickBooks and make sense of our financial reports. From the beginning they found ways to save us money by reviewing our expenses and suggesting ways to eliminate unnecessary services. They also watch our bank account and alert us to fraudulent charges in a timely manner so we can obtain refunds. They review our cash flow on a weekly basis and notify us of potential problems.
"I am a talent recruiter, and I am very good at what I do, but keeping books isn't one of my strengths. Vicki and her team are calm and capable and take away all that stress. In addition to their knowledge, the CBO team are all service oriented and deliver a high level of care to small businesses. As a recruiter, it is important to me that Vicki takes such good care of her employees. Continuity is essential, and Vicki hires the best and keeps them."

The most effective tool leaders have at their disposal is also the most ignored.
What happened to talking with our team members, one-on-one, over coffee? I think we've become so busy that we no longer allow time to do this most important leadership function, but do we really save time by neglecting our one-on-ones?
Loyalty is most often won in private.
If you believe this, you understand why taking the time to sit down with a team member and ask "How are you?" is so important. It is so important that if you fail to do it regularly (at least once a week), and with all team members – right through to the receptionist – I guarantee that you will spend much more time hiring new people than you will 'waste' doing one-on-ones.
Ask "How are you?" and you may avert a performance slump, resignation, or even better, you may help your team member overcome a personal problem. This is the highest calling of leadership and the one that wins loyalty above all others.
You might be surprised what you learn. Perhaps the team member is not getting the support from her spouse and is thinking of leaving. It might explain why her performance has waned. Now you know what the problem is, you might decide to take your team member and her spouse for dinner and see if you can address the problem.
Sure, it might not work, but thanks to the one-on-one you know what's coming and are in a position to prevent it rather than do what many leaders do, which is to express total surprise at the resignation, followed by despair, followed by a vain attempt to fix the problem. It's often too late.
Are one-on-ones time consuming? Try hiring and training a newcomer and judge for yourself which is the best time investment.
In our Real Estate Agency Management Program we plead with leaders to spend time with their team members, ranging from meeting twice a day with recruits who are in their first month with the company, through to once a week with experienced people, for as long as they remain with the company.
I believe that a one-on-one with each team member once a week is the bare minimum. Some people might think this is over the top, but let me warn you: ignore your people and you will spend more time hiring.

Q: How to remove a list within list based on len in python? I have the following input list
A = [['A',[1,2,3]],['D',[3,4]],['E',[6,7]],['F',[1]]]

I want to have sublists whose length is 2.
In the above example, I want to remove [A,[1,2,3]], [F,[1]] etc
I am creating a new list and appending all sublists whose length ==2.
If I can directly remove from A, the unwanted sublists, it would be ideal

A: Should't it be like this?
A = [x for x in A if len(x[1]) == 2]

Or even
A = [[a, b] for a, b in A if len(b) == 2]

A: You might want to use filter.
filter(lambda x: len(x[1]) == 2, A)

This assumes each of the element (list) has 2 elements, and the second element is a list. You want to filter the elements which have exactly 2 elements in this inner list.
More on filter:

filter(...)
      filter(function or None, sequence) -> list, tuple, or string
Return those items of sequence for which function(item) is true.

The same can be achieved via a list comprehension:

[x for x in A if len(x[1]) == 2]

A: It's better and easier to create a new filtered list. A[:] = ... is a slice assignment which means that the content of the new list is copied back into A so that other references to the same list will see the update. If you don't need to keep the identity of A, you can just use A = ...
>>> A = [['A',[1,2,3]],['D',[3,4]],['E',[6,7]],['F',[1]]]
>>> A[:] = [x for x in A if len(x[1]) == 2]
>>> A
[['D', [3, 4]], ['E', [6, 7]]]

Removing in place is usually inefficient because you need to move the remaining items down the list each time you remove one. You also need to take care to not skip over elements when you remove from the list you are iterating over.

A: A = [x if len(x)==2 for x in A]

fyi, your E and F lists don't have closing brackets, but I'm assuming that's just a copy/paste error or similar.

Q: DRY for Exception Wrapping I'm working on some server-side code that wraps all exceptions before passing them to the client side, due to this all client facing methods have the following code
try{
   DoSomething();
} catch (ExceptionA e) {
   throw new CustomException(AType, e);
} catch (ExceptionB e) {
   throw new CustomException(BType, e);
} catch (Exception e) {
   throw new CustomException(Unexpected, e);
}

to have this repeated in every method seems to violate the DRY principle and I was wondering what the best way to refactor it would be.  For instance I was thinking a wrapper method such as:
private void wrapException(Exception e) {
if (e instanceof ExceptionA) {
   throw new CustomException(AType, e);
}
etc...

A: Take a look at AspectJ soften exception.
Also look at Guava's Throwables.
There is also Lamboks sneaky exception.
The other option is to use Anonymous object instances aka closures.
public abstract class Wrapper {
    public void execute() {
        try {
            // do some boiler plate before
            this.wrap();
            // do some boiler plate after.
        } catch (ExceptionA | ExceptionB ex)  {
            Type t = determineType(ex);
            throw new CustomException(t, ex);
        }
    }
    public void abstract wrap();
}

Now in your code you do something like:
new Wrapper() {
    public void wrap() {
        DoSomething();
    }
}.execute()

A: This is possible in Java7 and up:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/language/catch-multiple.html
Copy-paste example from above doc:
catch (IOException|SQLException ex) {
    logger.log(ex);
    throw ex;
}

A: This is one way to go about it:
Exception caughtEx = null;
String extraInfo = null;
try{
   DoSomething();
} catch (ExceptionA e) {
   caughtEx = e;
   extraInfo = AType;
} catch (ExceptionB e) {
   caughtEx = e;
   extraInfo = BType;
} catch (Exception e) { // catching Exception is usually a bad idea, just let it bubble up without catching...
   caughtEx = e;
   extraInfo = Unexpected;
}
if (caughtEx != null) throw new CustomException(extraInfo, caughtEx);

LO basketball plays for cancer: Proceeds from the Legends Game will go to support two local survivors
Carter Daniels, StafferFebruary 13, 2020Leave a Comment
Omicron strikes recovering world
Speech and Debate returns in-person
By Carter Daniels
On Wednesday, Feb. 5, the girls and boys basketball varsity teams will be playing more than just a normal basketball game. Sure, the game will be a league game test against Three Rivers League rival the West Linn Lions at home, but there is more on the line than just the outcome of the game. The two league rivals will be playing to support two local kids in the community who have recently been diagnosed with cancer.
West Linn Police Officer Catlin Blyth, who grew up in the Lake Oswego community and now serves the city of West Linn as a police officer is the organizer of the fundraiser and also runs the LtP foundation. The LtP foundation has raised over $70 thousand in 18 months since its start of the foundation in August 2018. "Within LtP we refer to the kids we work with who are battling a cancer diagnosis as LEGENDS, so our mission statement is "Supporting Childhood Legends Battling Cancer," explained Blyth.
Blyth was recently told by the West Linn boys head coach about Ellie Shorter, a 16-year-old from Canby High School who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in September and has been receiving chemo treatment weekly. "My career is as a Police Officer, so giving back to the community is a natural part of that, but when it comes to these kids battling cancer it goes to a whole new level."
A few weeks ago, the Laker Boys Varsity Head Coach Marshall Cho told Blyth about a recent graduate of Lake Oswego, Brock Mcnown, who also was just recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer. Brock has two younger brothers, sophomore Rowen and senior Max. "It definitely brightens Brock's day as well as our own, knowing that the community cares enough to organize something like this.There are so many stressors involved when a family member struggles with cancer. I feel that this event helps to lighten the load," senior Max McNown said.
Blyth hopes that this event encourages more attention to be brought upon supporting kids with cancer and their families, while incorporating sporting events into the fundraiser. Blyth said, "I hope this Legends Game becomes a yearly event and inspires schools all over the state to make this more common. My hope is for the Legends Game to become more than just a single game, possibly a "Legends Game Week" where schools all over the area host a similar game.
The more people we get behind this cause, the easier it becomes. Once schools and student bodies jump on the wagon, it is amazing the success that is possible. It shows people that something as simple as a sporting event, can go a long way in helping someone who deserves it."
Support the Lakers and this cause on Wednesday, Feb. 5!

Q: Weird glitch in listview in Android app There are two weird glitches in my app

*

*When using Listview, when I scroll down fast and up again, the first Item changes.

I didn't implement anything that would cause this, is it a glitch with
Listview?

*When updating the Listview, it fetches the data and when it goes to update it, it does the first 12 items right, then repeats them them again, then the first six again (for the total number of dorms)
I can't find the a reason it repeated at 12 specifically here's my code

MainActivity class:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

The rest is on Github

A: This is a well known issue in android, to overcome this you need to use viewholder inside your list view. The reason why it happens is because the list view recycles the views which causes this to happen

A: ListAdapters recycle their views (these views being the "entries" in the list). The number of views is arbitrary as far as we are usually concerned, but in this instance it is probably 12.
The idea is this... Once that arbitrary number of views has been created ( meaning all views have hit this if(view == null){...create/initialize} ), then every time you get a view at position Y, you will need to replace the contents of the view at position Y, otherwise you will see the content of the original entry that got slapped on that view.
Now to fix your problem, do something like this:
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
    DormViewHolder dormViewHolder;

    if(view == null) {
        view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_dorm_item, parent, false);

        dormViewHolder = new DormViewHolder();

        dormViewHolder.textViewDormName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_dorm_item_name);
        dormViewHolder.textViewWasherAvail = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_washers_avail);
        dormViewHolder.textViewWasherOccupied = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_washer_occupied);
        dormViewHolder.textViewDryersAvail = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_dryers_avail);
        dormViewHolder.textViewDryersOccupied = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_dryers_occupied);

        // Set the View Tag with the ViewHolder to save View properties.
        view.setTag(dormViewHolder);
    }
    else
    {
        // Recycle the view (all View properties already set).
        dormViewHolder = (DormViewHolder) view.getTag();
    }

    dormViewHolder.textViewDormName.setText(list.get(position).dormName);
    dormViewHolder.textViewWasherAvail.setText(""+list.get(position).washersFree);
    dormViewHolder.textViewWasherOccupied.setText(""+list.get(position).washersInUse);
    dormViewHolder.textViewDryersAvail.setText(""+list.get(position).dryersFree);
    dormViewHolder.textViewDryersOccupied.setText(""+list.get(position).dryersInUse);
    return view;
}

Q: using timer to set local notification every X seconds i am trying to make an alarm app by setting new local notifications every X seconds when a Set button is pressed and stopping when the user taps a Stop button.
using Timer(), i am currently able to set the local notification but it doesn't repeat as I would like. it only repeats when i go into the app and back to the previous screen via the Home button. also, it only repeats once by doing that.
is there any way to have the user press the Set button once and have the notifications keep firing no matter if you're in the app/outside the app and only stopping when the user presses the Stop button?
my code as follows:
class LocalNotificationViewController: UIViewController {
    var timer = Timer()

    func runTimer() {
        timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 5, target: self, selector: (#selector(self.setLocalNotification)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
    }

    @objc func setLocalNotification() {
        //        timeEntered = time.text!
        //        let hrMin = timeEntered.components(separatedBy: ":");
        let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
        content.title = "Test Local Notification"
        content.subtitle = "Testing..."
        content.body = "Testing..."
        content.badge = 1
        content.sound = UNNotificationSound(named: "alarm.aiff");

            trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false);

            let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "timerDone", content: content, trigger: trigger)

            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)
    }

    var timeEntered: String = "";
    var trigger: UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger? = nil;
    @IBOutlet var time: UITextField!;

    @IBAction func setNotification(_ sender: Any) {
        runTimer()
    }

    @IBAction func stopRepeat(_ sender: Any) {
        timer.invalidate()
    }


We've just taken delivery on a large order of sealing wax. Atelier Gargoyle is widely regarded as the highest quality wax available, made in the USA by Linnea and Ward in San Francisco. It's much tougher than traditional sealing wax, made to survive the modern automatic postal system – I usually find it easier to rip the envelope than break the seal. The full range of colors will be available at ICON, Marcy 30-April 1 at SUNY Stonybrook (www.iconsf.org) or submit an order through our Contact page.

These basic drills will help beginners get comfortable with the ball.
The primary target audiences beginners and kids who wish to understand and play Cricket.
Keep watching to learn more cricket drills.
Watch this short tutorial video to learn some drills that will help you practice handling a cricket ball.
The following drill will help players get used to handling the ball.
You will need as many tennis balls as there are players.
Each player takes one ball.
Start by passing the ball from one hand to the other around your hips.
Do this as fast as possible while walking around in a circle with the other players.
After some time, pass the ball from one hand to the other around your head.
Pass it between the legs and then around the feet.
The point is to get used to the ball and have some fun.
Next, with your right arm outstretched and palm facing down, hold out the tennis ball ready to drop it.
Next, toss the ball up and and catch it with the side of your fist.
Try the same with the back of your hand.
Drop the ball from high up and catch it with the same hand just before it hits the ground.
Next, repeat the same, but this time circle your hand around the ball before catching it.
Go through the entire sequence with your non throwing hand as well.
Finally, throw the ball straight up in the air and clap as many times as you can before catching it.
Count the number of claps and try to increase it the next time.
Try throwing the ball as high as possible to get a higher count of claps.
Continue the drills till you're all warmed up.

Q: How can solar sails be maneuvered? Photons from the Sun are always radial to it and hence solar sails can only travel radially. Any techniques related to maneuvering?

A: Well if the sails are reflective, you can tilt the sails! For a perfect reflector the transfer of momentum is then parallel to the surface vector of the sail.
You can also design multi-part sails with reflective properties controlled by liquid crystals. By making various parts of the sail more or less reflective on can change the attitude of a spinning sail - see for example the IKAROS experiment.

A: You only have a problem if you start without any tangential velocity and have no reflection (or you collide with a celestial body before you have a chance to evade it).
Let us say you start in a stable orbit. Your ship has a bow and stern, in the direction of your velocity.
If you can reflect the light towards your stern, it will accelerate you and you get to a higher orbit (although you may have to change this thrust at strategic places to get the shape of your orbit right).
If you reflect it towards your bow, it slows you down and you get to a lower orbit (closer to the Sun).
If you reflect it sideways, it can change your orbital plane.
Given enough time, you can go anywhere in the Solar system.

Q: How can I set a local variable using the name of another variable that is in a string in SQL? I've got a series of 10 variables that I need to iterate through, for example:
DECLARE @id1 int, @id2 int, @id3 int, @id4 int...@id10 int

Now, each variable holds a different value that I need to iterate through and add that value on another variable.
For example:
SET @Total = @Total + @id1

Instead of doing that 10 times, is there a way that I can do some sort of for loop or something to iterate and do something like this on each iteration
SET @Total = @Total + @id + @counter

It would be something like you can do on programming languages
Total = Total + Id[i]

Thanks

A: Short answer: nope, you can't do that.
Presumptive answer: What you want is trivial to do with arrays. SQL does not support arrays. (Well, it kinda does if the data is stored in tables, but that's not the case here.)
Detailed answer: you probably could do something like that by loading values into a table and running dynamic code created in a loop, but that's a lot more work than just writing it out as a single ugly statement.
Fishing answer: if you actually have N variable you need to process, plug them into a table and work at it that way (only sensible thing if N is large). I'm guessing this is not the case, though.

A: It is doable, but not pretty, this is how it will look:
DECLARE @id1 int, @id2 int, @id3 int, @id4 int, @id5 int, @id6 int, @id7 int, @id8 int, @id9 int, @id10 int, @Total int, @BigTotal int
DECLARE @rowcount int
DECLARE @varscount int
DECLARE @varname varchar(10)
--This table will hold your vars and their values:
DECLARE @varstable TABLE (
idx int identity(1,1),
varname varchar(10), varval int )

--set your var values any way you like:
SET @id1 = 10
SET @id2 = 10
SET @id3 = 10
SET @id4 = 10
SET @id5 = 10
SET @id6 = 10
SET @id7 = 10
SET @id8 = 10
SET @id9 = 10
SET @id10 = 10
SET @Total = 100

--dump the values and the varname into the table:
insert into @varstable (varname, varval)
VALUES ('@id1',@id1),
('@id2',@id2),
('@id3',@id3),
('@id4',@id4),
('@id5',@id5),
('@id6',@id6),
('@id7',@id7),
('@id8',@id8),
('@id9',@id9),
('@id10',@id10)

--now loop through the vars and their values:
SET @rowcount = 1
SET @varscount = (SELECT MAX(idx) FROM @varstable)
WHILE(@rowcount < @varscount)
BEGIN

SET @varname = (SELECT varname FROM @varstable WHERE idx = @rowcount)
--here's your action:
SET  @Total = @Total + (SELECT varval FROM @varstable WHERE idx = @rowcount)
--a little success message:
PRINT CONCAT(@varname, ' +  @total = ',@Total)
SET @rowcount = @rowcount + 1
END

Cheers


I have two sons (20 and 19, technically considered adults) and one husband (don't need more than that!) All three are productive members of society and contribute to work, school and home. But there's times I have to step back and let them revert back to their play days. When the three of them are together, there's no telling what they'll do!
Not even safe in my own home!
For instance, the ZingSortz Air Storm ZTek Bow has gotten plenty of play time since I received it for review. Other than having to warn them from time to time not to aim the blaster at each other, it's turned out pretty well.
The Air Storm Z-Tek Bow set includes one Z-Tek bow, two Zonic Whistle Arrows, and 1 Zartz suction-cup arrow. It works by hooking an arrow on the bow, then pulling back and aiming. After that, it's the fire shot! It's super easy and super fun.
The Zonic Whistle Arrows let out a semi-loud whistle as it speeds through the air. The Zartz suction-cup arrow sticks (most of the time) on plastics and metal. We've noticed that the Zonic Whistle Arrows go further than the suction-cup arrows, but both have a good flying distance.
Each arrow is made with ultra-light foam and flies over 100 feet. It should go without saying, but the arrows should never be shot at another person or an animal. If, by some chance, that does happen, the arrows shouldn't cause much anguish. There's space holders on the bow to store the arrows when not in use.
The ZingSortz Air Storm Z-Tek Bow has been a big hit at my house. It's a fun holiday gift or birthday gift for any kid (or adult that acts like a kid) who is into that kind of play.
I received products for review from Zing. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services. Your opinions and results may differ.

Outlying Islands - Review - King's Head Theatre
The revival of Scottish playwright David Greig's powerful play at the King's Head Theatre
A remote Island in the Outer Hebrides, 40 miles from the nearest inhabited land. Two Ornithologists on a mission from 'The Ministry' to study the Bird population on this Outlying Island. The Island's Owner and his Niece are the only other inhabitants, accompanying the Ornithologists on their month-long excursion. It is the eve of World War II. Mixed together, you are creating a recipe for success in David Greig's Outlying Islands presented by Atticist. While this play started on its path to success, somewhere it took a sharp turn for the worse.
The initial introductions to the complex characters gave an audience a close view into the lives of these four people thrust together by chance. Even up until the end of Act One, the characterization of all showed promise the second half, with drastic events adding a great twist into the mix.
However, the second act showed large unjustified characterization changes in not only a short amount of time for the audience, but also over a very short space of time for the story. The entire story was flipped on its head with very little to continue the links through. The problem with this is that it is by no fault of the actors or directors of the piece.
The 4 players were fantastic. Ken Drury as Kirk and Jack McMillan as John created incredibly rounded characters, despite the flaws in the material. They brought life to their characters. Alongside them, stood Rose Wardlaw and Tom Machell as Ellen, the introvert Niece, and Robert, the extrovert Ornithologist. These characters were flawless and believable.
Even the staging of the piece was fantastic. The use of the space was brilliant, giving the audience the perspective of being a fly on the wall. Jessica Lazar's interpretation of this play was interesting viewing and darkly funny at the beginning.
It seems a shame for this fantastic company despite their obvious talent and accomplished creation to be let down purely by the rushed writing towards the end of the piece.

Colorado media outlets eye taxpayer money to fund public reporting
By Amanda Pampuro (Courthouse News)October 15, 2019
DENVER (CN) – More than 30 Colorado newspapers have folded in the last two decades and about 44% of local reporters lost their jobs. It might seem easy and obvious to say newspapers are dying, but others see new opportunities on the horizon.
To maintain the integrity of local independent news in an increasingly volatile funding environment, the Colorado Media Project discussed a white paper at the University of Colorado in Denver on Monday proposing several ways local government may be able to fund the Fourth Estate.
"Things die, that's a fact of life, but we need a mechanism to create new things and we need a way to pay for them," said Gregory Moore, a former editor of the Denver Post and current editor in chief of Deke Digital.
The project's number one proposal is to solicit investment from local communities who benefit from free and independent local news – research shows communities that lose such news coverage are often less engaged, more polarized, and less informed as voters. Dozens of Colorado counties have one weekly newspaper. Southeastern Baca County, population 3,562, has no local news source.
Many Coloradans trust their local news, even as skepticism of national media grows. According to a 2019 Pew poll, 81% of Denver adults rate local news favorably, though only 15% directly paid for it in the last year.
Two constitutional challenges stand in the way, one local and one national. At the state level, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights mandates all tax increases be approved by voters, and voters very rarely volunteer to pay more to the government. Nevertheless, the Colorado Media Project proposes a 2.9% extension of sales tax on digital ads targeting Coloradans that could raise $70 million for grants or small business support, while addressing the consequences of the medium change on local journalism.
The report also recommends offering tax incentives to community businesses that fund newsrooms.
What makes the proposal controversial, even heretical to the industry, are concerns that accepting government funds would make newsrooms beholden to the very entity they're designed to police.
"I come to this with a predisposition of skepticism with the media serving as the government watchdog," said First Amendment attorney Steven Zansberg of Ballard Spahr. "But necessity is the mother of invention. If existing revenues were sufficient, none of us would be up here, but the status quo is in a crisis."
Many state governments already fund the National Public Radio and Public Broadcast System. If they were to fund local news, Zansberg emphasized, "The proposal requires church-and state-insulation. There have to be stringent walls between advertising and editorial choices."
From Colorado Public Radio tapping into grants to grow its newsroom, to the Colorado Sun's cryptocurrency experiment through community-run journalism company Civil, media companies are determined to find a more stable funding stream than dispassionate hedge fund owners, pay walls, and popup ads.
A final but not insignificant suggestion: State and local government must make data easily accessible – the default should be open, not closed. If the Colorado government makes all data available online in searchable formats it will save reporters time and organizations money.
"We shouldn't spend so much time working with public officials to help them understand sunshine laws," noted Melissa Davis, vice president of the Gates Family Foundation.
The report combines research gathered by more than a dozen interested parties, including the vice the Gates Family Foundation, the Colorado Press Association and the University of Colorado.
