Linda Cheung, a mother of two children with autism in Toronto, counts herself lucky. When her now-teenage sons were diagnosed with autism, there were virtually no wait lists for some autism services.
But her family still struggles at times to access the services they need, and sometimes pays out of pocket for these services while they are on government wait lists. Even when her family has received government funds to purchase services themselves, Linda has been frustrated by a fragmented system that makes it hard to locate appropriate providers. For families like Linda's, navigating the current system can feel like a full-time job.
Autism is one of the most common developmental disabilities in children, affecting one out of every 68 children. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder, in which children have difficulties understanding and reciprocating emotions, using and comprehending non-verbal communication (such as making eye contact), and participating in social relationships. The severity of autism is determined by a child's level of communication impairment and the types of restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior they display. Symptoms of severe autism include disruptive behaviours and difficulties in performing their day-to-day activities, such as eating, bathing and communicating.
Although there are no cures for autism, there are therapies such as Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), that have been shown to help improve the functional abilities of these children. ABA uses learning theories to systematically change behaviours, and has been used to increase children's communication, social skills, activities of daily living, and academic skills. Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) is perhaps the most frequently used and best studied method of ABA. Generally, these therapies are provided by clinicians, though parent-directed programs are also used.
For most families, caring for a child with autism is a rewarding experience. However, it can also be challenging. Children with severe autism often require assistance with tasks, have frequent medical appointments, and may require near-constant supervision. The potential emotional, physical and financial stress associated with providing this level of care can be detrimental to a family's wellbeing.
There are times when a child's needs may exceed what a family is able to provide and families look to programs outside of the home for help. However, timely access to government funded programs is often difficult and few families can afford to pay out of pocket for these services over the long term.
The past 50 years have seen a change in the philosophy surrounding service delivery for Ontarians with autism. There has been a shift away from residential placements and a greater emphasis on community based services such as respite care, day programs or life skill programs. The government has maintained a small number of residential or group-home beds for use by children with significant care needs or behavioural concerns, but the vast majority of services are provided in the community to children living at home.
In Ontario, the majority of community-based services are provided by the Ministry of Child and Youth Services (MCYS). In general, families access governmental programs at their local developmental agencies. As of 2013, there were approximately 90 programs providing behavioural therapy to about 2,000 children. All children with autism can apply for skill-based, group ABA. For IBI, which involves intensive one-on-one interventions, only children with severe autism are eligible for government funded IBI programs.
There are, however, a number of inconsistencies in the method of IBI and ABA delivery among the agencies. For example, agencies do not use a standard method to determine a child's eligibility for services or when they will be discharged from the program.
The process for accessing other developmental services, such as respite care and day programs is similar. Families can access services through multiple entry points, by applying to one of the 170 developmental agencies in the province, the MCYS tells us. The result is a disjointed, complex system that is difficult to navigate for both clinicians and families. In the end, "it is difficult for children to access the right services at the right time," says Peter Szatmari, chief of Child and Youth Psychiatry at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and Sick Kids.
Some children are better served by the current system than others. A key determinant of the services a child receives is a family's ability to advocate for their child, says Jackie Sumsion, program supervisor at Aptus, a developmental treatment centre in Toronto. Families who are not fluent in English and of lower socioeconomic status are likely at a disadvantage. Families in smaller, more rural communities also face difficulty accessing services. This is in part because of a decreased access to clinicians who have expertise in autism, says Szamatri.
Even for children who already have services, their needs may change over time, says Sumsion, and so they may face additional wait times as they apply for access to new services. Depending on the length of the waitlist, these children's needs may have changed by the time they reach the top of the list, delaying the process even further.
The disparity between families' service needs and the amount they receive can ultimately result in families facing crisis situations. When this happens, families often turn to the acute health care system for help, says Szatmari. However, a hospital admission is a temporary solution, because if families are not equipped with better supports at home, this cycle will likely continue after their child is discharged.
Out-of-home placements can offer another option for families facing crisis situations or who become overwhelmed. These placements can take different forms, ranging from day programs, to short-term respite programs or long term residential placements. A recent study from Alberta showed that one sixth of families with a child with severe developmental disability, including severe autism, have seriously considered out-of-home placement for their child. More importantly, these considerations were largely driven by the services families received, rather than the severity or characteristics of their child's disability.
However, the availability of residential placements for children with autism is limited, and dependent on the capacity of other parts of the system. At Aptus, for example, all six residential beds are being used by individuals over 18 years of age who are awaiting a spot at an adult long-term residential program.
A 2005 Ontario Ombudsman report, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," brought to light the drastic measures that some families are required to take when they face crisis situations, including making the difficult decision to give up custody of their children in order get them access to the services they need. Unfortunately, this continues to happen 10 years later, according to the team at Aptus centre, though the exact number of children given up for these reasons is not known.
For families, clinicians and government officials, the ultimate goal is for children with severe autism to have enough community supports to allow them to remain at home with their families whenever possible. The creation of a system that achieves this goal, however, has been difficult. Our current system is "chronically underfunded and under-resourced," says Eyal Cohen, a pediatrician who specializes in the care of children with medically complex conditions.
An influx of funds into the system is badly needed and can bring about change. For example, the Ontario government recently claimed that the 2014 waitlists for Special Services at Home was eliminated. Similarly, according to the Auditor General report, from 2008 to 2012 there was a 20% increase in funding for IBI programs. Thus, although the IBI spots remained stable at 1,400, these programs were able to provide service to 14% more children. The Auditor General hypothesized that this may have been accomplished through increased efficiency by agencies offering these programs, but also through shorter IBI treatment programs or earlier discharge of patients from the program.
But additional funding alone is not enough. The system itself must be re-organized in order to make it more inclusive and less complex.
Over the past several years, the MCYS has become increasing aware of the problems that plague the current system, says Cheryl Farrugia, executive director of Aptus. As a result, the MCYS has begun working towards creating a single entry point for each region's developmental services. Although this program's development is in its infancy, Szamatri sees this as a positive step. It will hopefully increase accountability for individual agencies and be easier for families to navigate. It may also encourage more collaboration between different treatment centres. Other smaller initiatives aimed at increasing service accessibility and transparency have also been implemented, such as the creation of an appeal process for families denied IBI.
Despites these initiatives, other changes are needed. The system is quite fragmented with very little intra-ministry collaboration, says Sumsion. For example, the MCYS is tasked with providing residential placements for children with developmental delay, while funding for these placements is provided by the Ministry of Community Services. As a recent Auditor General report states, this creates confusion around who is ultimately accountable for these programs.
Ultimately, the need to fully support these families may also require consideration of non-traditional supports for families, explains David McConnell, director of the Family and Disability Studies Initiative at the University of Alberta. Programs such as flexible work hours for parents or more inclusive daycares, would provide families with the needed respite care, while also helping to alleviate the social isolation and financial hardship these families face.
Though Linda Cheung's family is appreciative of the services they have received, the road to receiving these services has not always been easy. As they look towards the future, her family continues to apply for new services and are hopeful that their children will be able to access these new opportunities and continue to learn and grow.
This story is characteristic of many that are told about Ontario's (Canada's?) so-called health/healthcare "system". The fragmentation descends from the multiple "kingdoms", the governors of which do not want their decisions to be influenced by the decisions made by the governors of other kingdoms. Sadly optimizing the health of the people that each kingdom considers patients/clients/customers is usually but noble words in the mission statement. Those words need to be made operational, beginning with there "system's" overarching governance, the Ontario government. It could begin with articulating and publicizing its vision of a functional health/healthcare (pick one) system and charging all the subsidiary kingdoms with demonstrating how they are contributing to the realization of that vision.
Excellent article that rings true of our experience in northern Ontario (rural). If you think the child sector is hard wait til your child hits 18 and ages out …We have spent the last 19 years trying to navigate a "child/youth ASD system" that doesn't yet fully exist. At least Ontario is attempting evidence-informed programming (IBI, ABA, transition plans etc). There is NOTHING when the child turns 18.
I actually droppped from FT to PT work for 5 years to attempt to fill the gaps to ensure my son with autism ends up being a taxpayer not a tax burden. Fast forward to when he turned 18 and the "ASD adult system" is virtually non-existent when the young adult presents as "high-functioning" – functioning enough to receive ODSP (until CDTC re-evaluation deems him too high-functioning) and live in the parents' basement. See Autism Ontario's 2008 "The Forgotten" report.
My youth with autism has been denied services by agencies holding themselves out as serving this population. The staff and administration do not have the skills and training to de-escalate my son when needed and will call me to pick him up and ask him to leave the programme. This has caused my son anxiety and resulted in our family being isolated from the community. I am a trained advocate but I have given up talking to these agencies and although it is stressful and expensive, the lesser of two evils has been for me to hire and train my own staff and create my own programs for my son. Any committed and professional person that has supported my family and son has been very rare. Most leave when my son becomes difficult.
Dymaxia is working to empower families living with autism by managing anxiety in children with ASD through a clinically validated technology from Bloorview Hospital, Canada's largest children's rehabilitation hospital. Up to 84% of children with autism experience anxiety.
Dymaxia is using wearable wristbands and smartphones to monitor anxiety in real time and alert caregivers and the child before it becomes a problem. We're still in the development stage. We're reaching out to the parents, the caregivers, the therapists, anyone who is keen on making difference to the autism community for advice and feedback. We are NOT SELLING ANYTHING, we want advice and guidance to help us create a solution to help families living with autism. Please comment with your email address so we can have a brief chat to hear and heed your advice and concerns.

Delta Partner: Energy Controls Inc.
Founded in 1869, the University of New Mexico resides on 600 acres along the famed Route 66 in the heart of Albuquerque. More than 30,000 students take part in over 200 degree programs. The school's 200 buildings reflect the area's southwest heritage with distinctive pueblo-style architecture. Along with being the largest university in the state, the school is New Mexico's third largest employer, with more than 20,000 employees.
Using various Delta Control solutions, Energy Control has been involved in a variety of UNM projects covering 19 buildings on campus, from providing a DDC system to a retrofit of the school's oldest building—Hodgin Hall built in 1889—to installing top-to-bottom controls on two new LEED-certified buildings now under construction.
Since 2003, the University of New Mexico has sought to upgrade its utility systems to digital controls as well as improve building energy efficiencies. In the course of this work came a unique opportunity to modernize the out-dated solar-powered system of the Mechanical Engineering Building.
A first-of-its-kind Smart Grid project utilized Delta Controls, a Smart Energy System and solar panels. The 30-year-old "deceased" solar power system was supplemented with vacuum tube collectors and combined with state-of-the-art digital controls. Water is now heated by the solar panels and stored in a large, stratified tank and used to heat the building in the winter and provide energy to make chilled water to cool the buildings in the summer.
Says University Facilities Engineer Hans Barsun, "In the Mechanical Engineering Building alone we're able to reduce our energy consumption by 35% to 40%—a savings of $25,000 a year." That system also reduces carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 100 tons annually. Adds Mr. Barsun, "We've installed Delta Controls in everything from classrooms to administration offices to biomedical research facilities. And are specifying Delta for upcoming LEED-certified projects.
Key to the success of UNM's Gridwise demonstration project is the portal used to share information between buildings, the physical plant and the power company, PNM. Delta Controls in tandem with the portal will allow the building to respond to requirements for electrical demand reduction. This helped the building achieve LEED silver certification.

"Whose Streets" is the Epitome of Resistance!
Bradley Williams | August 30, 2017
In a scene from the flim, "Whose Streets," Kenna holds onto her mother Brittany as they protest against the injustice happening in Ferguson.
The New Civil Rights Crisis
This movie highlights the struggles of people trying to voice their grievances over not only another killing of an unarmed black man by the police but also many years of systemic oppression experienced by the local Black community. Instead of authorities letting the voices of local leaders be heard, protesters were met with military force, tear gas, and arrest.
This film is a must-see! It will ignite a fire in anyone who cares about the fight for social justice and inspire viewers to keep pushing, even in the face of tremendous adversity. The film allows you to hear first-hand from community leaders, activists, and residents about the events happening in Ferguson outside of what the national news cycle would highlight. It will wake you up to the injustice that continues to plague communities like Ferguson all around our country.
With our country reeling from the white supremacist marches and violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, as well as the president's remarks defending and emboldening the hate groups behind that violence, "Whose Streets" is a necessary reminder of why we should keep fighting.
One of the most powerful moments of the film comes when the young daughter of activist Brittany Ferrell starts her own chant during a protest. She was so energized and excited to be a part of the movement. It showed a light at the end of tunnel for me. It gave me hope to see this young girl already speaking out for justice.
As a black millennial, I was inspired by this film to raise my voice and to never let myself be silenced. It shows the people of Ferguson igniting a movement. Through resilience, perseverance, and resistance, the community fought for their right to live–and in the process, helped create a global movement.

Not being a traditional local cuisine restaurant, the place is worth visiting to get an impression of gastro-life in Kiev. Arbequina is always in the top 5 for gastro-experts and foodies. Situated right next to the Independence Square, it's not easy to notice at once. The location itself is small and cosy, like dining at a friend's place.
Arbequina – is a variety of olives, used to make oil of a high quality. That's why the assorted olives here are just perfect. The cuisine is Mediterranean, mostly Spanish: pan Catalan, good selection of fresh and mature cheeses, jamon Serrano, Iberico, Bellota, seafood. Fresh pies with spinach, fish, cheese, berries and carrots; seasonal ones – with pumpkin or rhubarb.
There's a mini store right under the showcase: one can buy olives, jamon, turrones and other Mediterranean products. The place is an absolute must-visit for breakfast: a small terrace is always a destination for those in the know during the sweet morning and noon hours. It's a pleasant time with cottage cheese and coffee or even a glass of Syrah – a great beginning of the day.
The newly opened hall is full of pictures and a real Mediterranean mood. The new Sunday brunch tradition is launched – one can have a variety of Spanish breakfast meals as well as paella, of course, accompanied by a glass of a strong spirit -best way to begin a Sunday! Soon the tango-with-the-dinner-course will also be available.

Q: It there a way to count unique users that download podcast from itunes? I created a podcast, and set it up in itunes.  I am able to track the number of downloads for the media files, and I would like to know how many different users are downloading the files.  I tried using cookies / sessions, but that doesn't seem to work.  Itunes ignores cookies, and thus a new session id is created every download.
Is there another way to track unique itunes users of my podcast?

A: I don't know if you are still interested, but Blubrry offers free stats. It tells you how many people are downloading from iTunes and any other platform. This is much easier than trying to devise your own system, and is high quality.

A: Cookies wouldn't work because if their cookies were cleared then it would count as a new user. The only "unique" thing about users are there IP addresses really. Since they're "downloading" it if two people use the same computer the chances of them both needing to download it are slim, so IP address would work decently well.
This isn't fool-proof but if you're just using this to get track stuff for yourself, it might be good enough.

A: I use FeedBurner to track subscribers and downloads of my podcast.  Gives a lot of great stats.

How do I select the averagely fastest sorting algorithm based on the characteristics of the given sequence and return the sorted one.
Considering the average case time complexities of the mentioned algorithms, bubble sort is the worst, O(n^2), and both quicksort and merge sort are O(n lg n). When sorting data of small sizes you may not notice any difference among these three, but for large arrays bubble sort is no good. So you can scratch it off the list.
Now, while both quicksort and merge sort have the same time complexity, their performance may be different depending on the data. Doing a a merge sort on different data of the same size would require exactly the same number of operations every time. But the number of operations can vary in quicksort. If the data is already sorted, the traditional quicksort would require O(n^2) operations. There is a variation of quicksort, which is called 'randomized quicksort', performs better in such cases. But for sorted data, bubble sort becomes O(n) (because there would be nothing to do).
So, in average case, both quicksort and merge sort have the same time complexity, but in worst case, quicksort and bubble sort can have the same complexity.
For a quick look on complexities of algorithms, you can see this.
but vaiya, I think you have missed another thing that is if the array is reversely sorted Quick sort may be not perform best and obviously bubble will be the worst for reversely sorted array. Then I think I should select the merge sort for reversely sorted large array. @Sufian Latif vaiya.
You can choose the fastest one by knowing their time complexity (How many time it need to sort n numbers in worst case).The lowest time complexity in worst case is the fastest one.
The fastest algorithm among 3 is Merge sort (Time complexity: n*log(n)). Here you can find all the information about sorting algorithms-Link.
As far as I know, If the input array list is almost sorted insertion sort performs best.

Fernand Colleye, né le  et mort le , est un journaliste belge de télévision. À l'INR, future RTB, il aura été l'un des pionniers de la télévision belge et l'un des membres fondateurs du « TV Journal », ancêtre du « Journal Télévisé » de la RTB.

Biographie

Entré à l'INR (Institut National de Radiodiffusion), Fernand Colleye intègre, sitôt constituée au sein de la nouvelle RTB (Radiodiffusion-Télévision, Belge), la première équipe du Journal Télévisé.

De caractère expérimental, sinon artisanal, les débuts en noir et blanc ne font que le préparer à vivre tout au long de sa carrière un formidable développement technologique, mais aussi à inlassablement œuvrer à l'invention d'un métier.

Féru de littérature, de philosophie, d'histoire et de grande musique, il se révélera connaisseur passionné en matière de politique internationale. Et déjà, via le réseau Eurovision, il s'impliquera dans les premières expériences d'échanges quotidiens d'actualités filmées appelés EVN, véritable rampe de lancement, avec bientôt le concours du satellite Telstar, à la mondialisation de l'information TV.

Du baptême du petit prince Philippe aux funérailles du roi Baudouin et à l'avènement de son frère, Albert II, en passant par les « dishleys aériens de Farnborough », les défilés du 21 juillet à Bruxelles, les mariages princiers dans les Cours européennes, l'intronisation des papes et les solennités officielles pour la mort de personnalités de format international : Brejnev, Pompidou, Sadate, Hiro-Hito, …, Fernand Colleye va assurer à l'écran, des heures durant, les commentaires de quelque 120 retransmissions en direct, au cours desquelles avec nombre de reporters étrangers,- parmi lesquels, naturellement, Léon Zitrone, — il nouera de solides liens d'amitié et d'entraide.
Cette fois avec le concours de la Télévision flamande, il mobilisera l'antenne, des journées entières, dans des manifestations aussi exceptionnelles que la célébration des 25 ans du règne de Baudouin  ou la visite en Belgique du pape Jean-Paul II. De même, il consacrera deux soirées, l'une et l'autre, à des monographies royales qui feront date : Né pour régner sur le roi Baudouin, et Prince des Belges sur le futur Philippe .

Fernand Colleye, qui collaborera fréquemment à la presse écrite, publiera également des livres, dont Charles Moeller et l'Arbre de la Croix, biographie d'un grand théologien belge du XX siècle, ce qui lui vaudra de remporter le prestigieux prix du Cercle Gaulois. Grand voyageur, il s'en ira, encore par-delà l'âge de la retraite, telles que l'Inde, Israël, l'Afrique de l'Ouest ou les USA.

Marié pour une très longue vie avec une collaboratrice de La Libre Belgique, Janou Colleye, par ailleurs public-relations de la RTBF, Fernand Colleye aura trois enfants, des petits-enfants et des arrière-petits-enfants.

Q: WARNING: The scripts pip.exe, pip3.8.exe and pip3.exe are installed in '...' which is not on PATH I tried to install pip and I got this error:
WARNING: The scripts pip.exe, pip3.8.exe and pip3.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\Itamar\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

What does it mean? How to fix it?

A: It means that you've installed the Python binaries, but they won't be found when you just type python into the terminal.
You will either need to type the entire path, or add the installation directory to your system's PATH variable, as described in another Stack Overflow discussion.

A: (this worked for my case, given that i have only one user name/profile in my PC AND have only one Python version i.e Python310).

it will search for last two folders with name Python(any version) and Scripts.
the solution is using Batch, after searching many SO questions but only got to save some of the references :
Use multiple wildcards in a path in batch file
https://stackoverflow.com/a/53779705/9222942
SETX doesn't append path to system path variable
https://stackoverflow.com/a/17247259/9222942

*Save below code to batch file with name i.e setpath.bat

@echo off

setlocal

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

@echo off

:: search for Scripts folder that resides in : C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python*\Scripts

                    @set _variable=%%d

                    @echo !_variable!

                    ::SET Path here

                    setx path %%d

                )

)

endlocal

pause

*Double click on the setpath.bat file.

*the path should then be added to your user path with SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.

A: In my case, it was actually easier than I thought.
This is the solution if you're on Windows:

*

*Go to your PC

*Right click -> properties

*Go to the advanced system settings

*Go to advanced

*Then go to Environment variables

*Once you're there go to system variables and select the one that says 'PATH' and click on edit

*Click on New and then copy your script path, it generally is in this route C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts

*Voila, if it doesn't work uninstall your libraries and install them again with: pip uninstall [name of the library]


Washington Quarters started being produced in 1932. from 1932 until 1964 the coins were made of 90% silver, which makes these coins very popular with collectors, both numismatically and due to the silver content. From 1965 to 1967 the silver content was reduced to 40%, then the coins were made with a clad composite. We carry a wide selection of quality Washington Quarters, priced for every budget.

CFP Notebook: Hamlin's collapse resonates with TCU, Georgia
by: By DAN GREENSPAN
LOS ANGELES (AP)When Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during a game on Monday night, Georgia safety Javon Bullard was terrified by the sight of an NFL player having to be resuscitated.
"Probably one of the most scariest things I've ever seen, not knowing if someone's gonna make it on a football field," Bullard said Saturday during media day for the College Football Playoff championship game.
Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart wanted to find a way to reassure his players, so he organized meetings with the team's medical staff, a mental health specialist and team chaplain on Tuesday.
"They were concerned, and you start asking questions if you play, `Could this happen to me?"' Smart said. "So we did an education the very next morning, first thing in."
For TCU cornerback Josh Newton, Hamlin's collapse was especially troubling because it came after a routine play.
"I mean, that tackle happens in almost every football game," Newton said. "He just got hit at the wrong place at the wrong time. Like that's something nobody's ever seen."
But Newton said it won't affect his approach toward the game.
"You can't back away from it or be nervous about it as a defensive player," he said. "The only thing you can do is just be careful."
Georgia defensive line coach Tray Scott hopes one of the takeaways from Hamlin's incident will be increased first aid training and preparation.
"Every offseason they make the coaches and everyone on the staff go through strenuous CPR training. So if anything happened to my guys right now, I'm not gonna hesitate a beat. `Hey you go get the AED. I'll do this. You call 911.' . It's all about information," Scott said.
MILLER TIME?
TCU running back Kendre Miller is questionable to play after sustaining a right knee injury in the Fiesta Bowl win over Michigan.
Miller, a junior who leads the team with 1,399 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns, was able to practice Thursday, but felt sore coming out of that workout.
Horned Frogs coach Sonny Dykes expects to know by Sunday if Miller will be able to contribute.
"We're still optimistic that he's going to be able to play," Dykes said. "And we want him to be very effective. We just don't want to put him out there and give him an opportunity to get more injured."
REASONS TO PLAY
Georgia tight end Darnell Washington is no longer in a walking boot after sustaining an ankle injury against Ohio State in the Peach Bowl, and the junior is preparing as if he will be available on Monday.
Besides playing for a second consecutive national title, Washington has added motivation to be out on the field as the Las Vegas native will have his family, who have never seen him play in a college game, in attendance.
"If I get a chance to play, try to put on a show for them," Washington said.
DICTATE THE TERMS
Playing fast has been a trademark of TCU's offense all season, but it could take on added significance against a Georgia defense that wants to rotate frequently and maximize its deep roster.
"If you go tempo on anybody, any defense, it's tough," TCU offensive lineman Wes Harris said. "Heck, it's tough on us too, but our coach always says they're more tired than you are because they got to chase the football."
Bulldogs co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp said managing snap counts for linemen takes on a greater emphasis in a matchup like this.
"Once a big guy runs out of gas, they're done," he said.

I will explain how to add the contact person to a contact list in Skype (Ver. 8.28.0.41).
In order to make a call with Skype, it is necessary to add each contact to each other's Skype contact list.
When you take a lesson at the online Japanese school, you will receive an additional request from the instructor to the contact.
When an additional request arrives from the other instructor, the name of the instructor will be displayed as follows, so click on there.
Then, since the message from the instructor is displayed as below, confirm that a instructor you reserved and click "Accept".
Then, a small green circle is displayed on the icon of the other party's contact as shown below.
This small green circle indicates that it is currently active (callable).
In this case, let's also return a message from here.
When the transmission of the message is completed, it appears as shown in the red frame below.
This is the only procedure when the instructor's request to add to the contact list arrives.
Enter the Skype name, name, e-mail address, etc. of the person you want to add to the contact in the "Search Skype" box at the top left of Skype's initial screen.
Then, the partner that matched below it will be displayed as shown below, so click on it.
Then you will see "You haven't chatted on Skype yet." in the message area, so enter the message in the blue frame and press the "Enter" key to send it.
When the message is sent, it is displayed in the message area as shown below, and it says "Waiting for ~~~ to accept invitation".
Here is the procedure for adding contact information of the other party here. Then wait for the other party to "accept".
When the other party approves "add contact", you will be able to check the active status of the other party.
As you can see, if you want to add contacts from other parties here, it is "Simply searching for people and sending messages" so it's much easier compared to the previous version of Skype.

IIED July newsletter now available
News, 30 July 2018
Read the July edition of the IIED newsletter, rounding up all our publications, blogs and news from last month.
In the latest newsletter, we highlight a number of new blogs ranging from climate change to biodiversity to the illegal wildlife trade. Principal researcher Achala Abeysinghe discusses a recent global meeting on long-term climate and development strategies. She shows how good governance is essential for achieving long-term climate strategies – ensuring a 'whole government' and 'whole society' approach.
Another new blog was highlighted: There's justice in the battle for biodiversity from James Mayers, director of natural resources, looks at the links between biodiversity, development and social justice.
Also in this edition, we learn about the launch of Phase II of the highly successful Forest and Farm Facility (FFF). The project, which is a partnership of IIED, FAO, IUCN and AgriCord, was launched at the biennial meeting of the Committee on Forestry (COFO), the FAO's highest statutory forestry body. FFF has achieved documented success in poverty reduction, policy influence, increased tenure security, improved prices for producers and business development in ways that reflect greater participation by women and an emphasis on youth involvement.
Make sure not to miss the call for interest in participating in a workshop on community voices on illegal wildlife trade. IIED and partners are seeking expressions of interest by 31 July from representatives of communities living alongside wildlife, and from relevant community support organisations, in participating in a one-day meeting in London in October 2018. The event will be an opportunity to get local voices heard in the debate on responses to the illegal wildlife trade.
This month we also feature:
• A recent blog highlighting the problems of electricity supply in Tanzania, and some possible solutions
• Two new research reports highlighting challenges around the mining sector in Africa: Artisanal and small-scale mining in Tanzania – Evidence to inform an 'action dialogue' and Chinese investments and Africa's small-scale producers: disruptions and opportunities, and
• A new briefing from the Forest and Farm Facility: Transforming gender relations: upscaling collective action in women's entrepreneurship.

Biografia
John Tong Hon (cinese semplificato: 汤汉 ; cinese tradizionale: 湯漢 ; Pinyin Mandarino: Tang Hàn) è nato a Hong Kong il 31 luglio 1939.

Durante l'occupazione giapponese della Cina è stato profugo a Macao.
È stato educato alla fede cristiana dalla madre e dai missionari di Maryknoll. Giovane diacono durante il Concilio Vaticano II, è stato ordinato sacerdote da papa Paolo VI il giorno dell'Epifania del 1966.

Ministero episcopale e cardinalato
Il 13 settembre 1996 papa Giovanni Paolo II lo nomina vescovo ausiliare di Hong Kong e vescovo titolare di Bossa; il 9 dicembre successivo riceve l'ordinazione episcopale, con il vescovo Joseph Zen Ze-kiun (poi cardinale), nella cattedrale dell'Immacolata Concezione di Hong Kong, dal cardinale John Baptist Wu Cheng-chung, coconsacranti il cardinale Peter Seiichi Shirayanagi e l'arcivescovo Charles Asa Schleck.

Il 30 gennaio 2008 papa Benedetto XVI lo nomina vescovo coadiutore di Hong Kong; il 15 aprile 2009, dopo la rinuncia per raggiunti limiti di età del cardinale Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, succede alla medesima sede.

Nel concistoro del 18 febbraio 2012 papa Benedetto XVI crea cardinale presbitero della Regina Apostolorum; il 22 aprile successivo prende possesso del titolo.

Il 12 e il 13 marzo partecipa come cardinale elettore al conclave del 2013, che porta all'elezione di papa Francesco.

Il 1º agosto 2017 papa Francesco accoglie la sua rinuncia al governo pastorale della diocesi, presentata per raggiunti limiti di età; gli succede il vescovo coadiutore Michael Yeung Ming-cheung.

Il 5 gennaio 2019 è nominato amministratore apostolico di Hong Kong, dopo la scomparsa del suo successore Michael Yeung Ming-cheung. Mantiene l'incarico fino al 4 dicembre 2021, giorno dell'ordinazione episcopale e contestuale presa di possesso della diocesi del nuovo vescovo Stephen Chow Sau-yan.

Il 31 luglio 2019, al compimento dell'ottantesimo compleanno, esce dal novero dei cardinali elettori.

È uno dei cardinali che ha celebrato la Messa tridentina dopo la Riforma liturgica.

The Greenfields own a home in Mandalay Shores, a 1,400-unit complex in the City of Oxnard. In 2015, the Greenfields decided to rent out their home for short stays. Residents of the subdivision had been offering short-term rentals to vacationers for decades.
In June of 2016, the Mandalay Shores Community Association adopted a resolution barring the rental of homes in the community for fewer than 30 days.
The Association argued the ban was necessary because short-term rentals caused problems with parking, noise and trash. But it did not explain why a 29-day rental caused more problems than a 31-day stay. Under the new resolution, the first violation of the ban would result in a $1,000 fine which would jump to $2,500 for a second offense, and $5,000 for a third!
The Greenfields sued the Association in Ventura County Superior Court. They argued that this resolution violated the Coastal Act, which requires obtaining a permit from the Coastal Commission for any "development" that results in a change in use of or access to coastal land. The Association had not obtained a permit authorizing its new rule.
The Greenfields asked the trial court to issue a preliminary injunction barring the Association from enforcing the rule but the judge denied their request, saying they should take the dispute to the Coastal Commission. The Greenfields appealed.
The Coastal Act is intended to "maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities to the coastal zone," the appellate court noted, while conserving natural resources and honoring the rights of private property owners.
Under the Act, a "development" that affects public access to the beach can mean much more than construction, earthworks or other physical activities because the term is broadly defined to include any "change in the density or intensity of use of land" along the coast.
While the Association did not post a sign or erect a gate excluding non-residents, the ban on short-term rentals had effectively "erected a monetary barrier to the beach," the appellate court noted.
The appellate justices said the trial court erred in ruling against the Greenfields and found their action proper because under the Coastal Act any person can "maintain an action for declaratory and equitable relief to restrain any violation" of it.
The appellate court sent the case back to the trial judge with an order to grant the Greenfields' request for an injunction barring the Association from enforcing its ban.

Tales from the chalkface: using narratives to explore agency, resilience and identity of gay teachers
Samual Stones, JONATHAN GLAZZARD
Children, Education and Communities
Existing literature is dominated by accounts which position gay teachers as victims. We were concerned that this only presented a partial insight into the experiences of gay teachers. This study researched the personal and professional experiences of four gay teachers in England. It builds on existing research by presenting positive narratives rather than positioning gay teachers as victims. We use the term "chalkface" to illustrate that all were practicing teachers. The purpose of the study was to explore their experiences as gay teachers throughout their careers. The study used the life history method to create narratives of each participant. Semi-structured interviews were used. The study found that the repeal of Section 28 in England in 2003 did not have an immediate effect on the identities, resilience, and agency of the participants. The 2010 Equality Act in England and changes to the school inspection framework had a greater influence in supporting their agency, resilience, and willingness to merge personal and professional identities. All but one participant managed to use their identities as gay teachers to advance inclusion and social justice through the curriculum. Although the narratives that we have presented do illuminate some negative experiences, the accounts are largely positive, in contrast with existing literature which positions gay teachers as victims.

File under: Striping Cost, parking lot striping pricing, parking lot striping Prices.
I received this question in my email box a lot so I thought I would address it again here. It is in regards to starting a parking lot striping business and knowing where to put your parking lot striping pricing. When people are starting out they often times have no clue what to charge for their parking lot striping services. Your parking lot striping prices should be like any other project you estimate. Just use this simple formula.
Take that total and then next add about 20% mark-up. On smaller jobs I would even go as high as 30%. On large jobs you may want to consider 10%. Stay away from price sheet estimating. In this day and age cost are changing rapidly and it's important to be flexible. If your need to know about what a "single white line" cost or a "no parking" stencil should cost then it's not a bad idea to call some competitors in the area and get their pricing. I know this sounds funny but companies have been doing it since the beginning of business. Even huge big box companies like Best buy or Wall mart use these practices and that's a good thing. It keeps business competitive and helps out the consumer in the end. Also with the economy being so wonky lately you really want to be as competitive as possible. A lot of people ask me what I charge here in California for parking lot striping. I try to explain to them that it won't help them because every area is a little different and that local research needs to be done. But I will give you this example.
In California our minimum charge is about $300.00 but that's mainly because of the high cost of labor and heavy traffic we have to sit in just to get to those jobs. Also consider we are a 18 year old company that has overhead a small start up wont have. That being said we also provide a level of service a small start up can not provide. Every area has its own unique economy and situations. Plus your business may have a unique situation to consider as well. Figure out what your area will bear by doing research and talking to your accounts. Also once you get your feet wet with bidding you should start to get a better feel for your local market and where you need to be to be competitive.
Feel free to post comments and ask questions. I would love to hear from my parking lot striping, sealcoating and asphalt friends out there.
