Government urged to...
Government urged to push ahead with Finglas Luas and DART underground projects
By James Fenton
July 2, 2020 at 11:40am
Dublin Chamber has called on the government to push ahead with plans to expand the Luas network to Finglas and to accelerate the delivery of the DART underground project.
The project to expand the Luas into Finglas has been dubbed 'Fingluas', with plans brought forward by former Fine Gael TD Noel Rock late last year. Dublin Chamber has today called on new Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan to 'to expedite the delivery of the Finglas Luas extension and the DART Underground project.'
A statement says that 'Dublin Chamber, the representative body for businesses in the Dublin region, made the call in a letter to the new Minister earlier this week. In the letter, the Chamber urged the Minister to follow through on already-underway projects such as MetroLink, BusConnects and the DART Expansion Scheme.'
Next stop, Finglas! Dublin Chamber is calling on the new Government to push on with the extension of the Luas Green line to Finglas. And to get the Dart Underground project shovel-ready by 2025. #BetterDublin
➡Our full release is here: https://t.co/Cu8cxp4SUA pic.twitter.com/Z15k5oxy4d
— Dublin Chamber (@DubCham) July 2, 2020
The statement goes on to say: 'Dublin Chamber has urged the new Government to learn from the mistakes made during the last economic downturn and to not turn off the investment tap over the coming years. The Chamber said that ambitious, concerted investment in new transport infrastructure is needed to revitalise the economy and ensure that Dublin's transport system is ready to cope with both existing demand and future growth.'
Dublin Chamber's Head of Public Affairs Fergus Sharpe said: "Now is the time to press on with the projects currently at an advanced stage in the planning process and to also start work on the proper planning of other much-needed schemes such as DART Underground and Luas extensions."
Mr Sharpe added: "The Luas Green line extension to Broombridge has been very successful, with the number of users growing all the time. Extending the Luas line to Finglas would open up the line to tens of thousands more people, offering them a compelling and reliable public transport option. The N2 route is one of the most congested in the city in terms of private cars. Introducing the Luas, combined with new park and ride facilities, will help reduce the number of cars coming in to the city each day."
Back in Feburary, detailed plans for the Fingluas project were issued with proposals including a Luas line extension of approximately 4km, four new stations and a park and ride facility. More information on the plans for the Finglas Luas can be found here while Dublin Chamber's full statement can be found here.

In democratic societies schools have an obligation to address complex societal issues such as ethnic/religious tensions and social conflicts. The article reports an exploratory study of how theatre plays were used in upper-secondary schools to generate pedagogically relevant platforms for addressing the current Middle East conflicts and their impact on European societies in the context of religious education and civics. The schools are situated in areas with substantive migrant populations of mixed backgrounds, and this has implications for how these issues are understood as a lived experience. In the same classrooms, there were students who had refugee backgrounds, who represented different interpretations of Islam, and religion more generally, and whose families were victims of terrorism. There were also students with strong nationalist views. The study is ethnographic documenting theatre visits and classroom activities in relation to two plays about the Middle East situation. The results show that plays may open up new opportunities for addressing these issues, but that they may also be perceived as normative and generate opposition. An interesting observation is that a play may generate space for students to tell their refugee story in class, which personalized the experience of what it means to be a refugee. View Full-Text

PODCAST #100: Review of the Year LIVE – Discharge.
This is it, folks. The golden, shining Episode 100. It's the Discharge Review of the Year, recorded live as part of Nottingham Comedy Festival!
With thanks to Furthest From the Sea, it's our century episode, as we look back on 2017 in all it's dead baby glory! On the show, James celebrates just how weird our old favourite George Osborne is, Robbie prepares a puppet show on the new UKIP leader, Jordan has some suggestions for Word of the Year, and Ben presents a world-exclusive look at the new Star Wars film. It's a fantastic show, and it's all yours for ear-based consumption.
You can listen to the show in the player above, by right clicking here, or by using whichever podcast app you've used for the previous 99 shows.


I'm a woman, 35 years old looking for a man in Ashburn area. My body type is Average, hair color is Blonde and my ethnicity is Caucasian.
It may sound strange, but I don't have any real preferences when it comes to men… If you know how to behave and act like a gentleman and be friendly.(do not smell bad or stink up the place LOL) you dress well and can have a normal conversation..Well that is basically enough to start it up don't you think?


Pls tell me honestly,Do I look cocky or with bad attitudes?
Well,I don't talk very much in public. Especially my colleagues/when I'm working,because I need 100% focus on my work and I just wanna get my job done.But I heard some commons about me that's kind of nasty,they say i always have the poker face,never smile and think that I'm better than them because of my look(although I don't think I'm that good looking,honest)But they don't even know me,they're not my friends,they are just some people that I work with,do I have to be their friends,to talk more to them even thought I don't wanna socialize with them and to kiss their axxes?
True,I agree,but it beats me when I heard someone says things like that about me.Anyway,Thanks for sharing.
It is better to just ignore them and do focus on your work. Just don't forget simple courtesy because yes, even if some people are not worth smiling at, they are people and still deserve respect no matter how Axxholes they are at times. And it won't hurt to socialize a bit. Besides, they are officemates and it's good to build a certain degree of camaraderie with them but do it at instances that don't disrupt your work. Chill a bit. Smile!
Then how can we tell if you are cocky or just someone with a bad attitude if we too, don't even know you? So you'll be saying that we kiss our as$es too? For now, only you know the answer to you question.
WELL FRIEND KEEP WORKING AND TO HELL WITH ALL OF YOUR DIS HONEST MATES WORKING WITH YOU KEEP YOU FOUS ON WORK.


Choosing the best Lee Walker Hots website design company can be a extremely tiresome task. There are thousands of small company website design companies and some not even companies at all. Doing research is essential prior to picking a website design company for your small company in Lee Walker Hots and surrounding cities such as Wind Oaks Town Homes, Kenilworth, Hillcrest Apts, Asheville, Haw Creek, Highland Gate, Murphy Junction, Mountainbrook, West Asheville, Pisgah View. Small businesses have unique challenges whether being a start up or a company operating already.
Many companies have strict spending plans and the last thing that company desires is to obtain taken for a ride and have to shell out more money than originally wanted. Good news for you company owner, I will offer you some suggestions on picking a small company website design company that is best for your company. The first and maybe the most crucial thing is due diligence. Doing research on a company is crucial prior to signing contracts or handing any money over. Do a ԛuick Google search with the companies call as the keyword.
If you are seeing positive outcomes then that s a good thing. If you are seeing dupe reports, or grievance boards showing up that is a huge negative. As a small company website design company owner I would never ever offer money to a company that has negative listings on Google. There can be some exceptions to the rule however extremely not likely. The 2nd crucial idea is to take a look at the work that small company web Design Business has completed. Compare the portfolio with several companies.
You will be able to see the difference in between great style and bad style. If you have a look at the portfolio and it s unsatisfactory then I would carry on to the next company. The small company website design company portfolio speaks volumes for the creativity and tidiness of the styles they can establish for your company. Another great way to discover the best small company Lee Walker Hots website design company for you is calling and talking to somebody over the phone.
If you are calling firms and never ever getting a response back from them or you are getting voice mails all the time that must raise a warning. Submit an online ԛuote demand and see how quick they get back to you on company days. Our company responds within 24 hours to all ԛuote requests submitted throughout the week, whether it is by e-mail or phone. If the company is not reacting ԛuickly then that must offer you a heads up on how they operate and I would stay clear of that firm. The last and final idea I can suggest to small company owners wanting to have a small company website design company create their site is to utilize a style company that lies in the country that you remain in. Sure, you can save a lots of money by farming your work to India, however consider it for a minute. In this day and age you get what you spend for.
I have actually had tons of clients tell me that specific same thing and it s really real! Most of the work that is done overseas is extremely low quality style and advancement coding. Would you rather pay a little extra to obtain your Lee Walker Hots small company site done correctly or would you want to pay a small company website design company twice to repair or start over on the errors that occurred by outsourcing your task. Another feature of using outside the USA companies exists policies can be extremely unclear and if they disappear with your money you are out everything you invested and have absolutely nothing to show for it.
If you remain in the USA, laws you can aim to gather from that company by calling your local law enforcement. Language barrier is also another crucial issue to using companies overseas. If you follow the suggestions I have actually provided in this short article you will discover that best small company website design company to assist you attain all your company goals and requirements.
The style when, utilize anywhere method is something truly unique. A few years back, it was common for developers to make one site for desktops and one for mobile. This would cause problems when it came to updating the websites, since it meant that it was easy to miss pages that require altered. Often, info would wind up being different on each site, and there would be broken links and other issues.


Association of Specialty Cut Flowers, the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market, Alaska Beauty Peonies Co-Operative and FLGA, to start the Certified American Grown Flowers program, a coalition focused on building awareness around the importance of sourcing from America's flower farming families. That group went on to form the award-winning Field to Vase Dinner Tour. Read more in the September issue of Floral Management magazine.
Here's a question some U.S. flower growers have been wrestling with for years: How do we get consumers — who already are thinking about product origin and growing conditions with food — to bring that same level of awareness to flowers and plants?
Since 2015, the American Grown Field to Vase Dinner Tour has sought to do exactly that, bringing thousands of sophisticated consumers (and influential reporters and digital influencers) to greenhouses, flower fields and rooftop gardens for unforgettable experiences of top tier dining and locally grown flowers. The marketing effort behind the tour has reached an estimated 482 million people through 505 media placements — and it also snagged Floral Management's 2017 Marketer of the Year Award.
"Essential to the mission [of the Field to Vase Dinner Tour] was to not only host a delicious and beautiful dinner but also to create an indelible impression about the flowers on the table," said Kate Penn, the Society of American Florists' current chief content & publishing officer and editor in chief of Floral Management and the association's incoming CEO.
After Hurricane Irma forced the cancellation of SAF Palm Beach 2017, SAF's annual convention, Penn announced the coveted award, which is sponsored by Design Master color tool inc. and comes with a $5,000 prize, during a Facebook Live presentation on September 8. Penn will present the award in person to Kasey Cronquist, PFCI, CEO of the California Cut Flower Commission, administrator of Certified American Grown Flowers and the mastermind behind the tour, on October 8 during the Field to Vase dinner at Hope Flower Farm in Waterford, Virginia.
SAF Chairman Martin Meskers, AAF, of Oregon Flowers in Aurora, Oregon.
Read more about the award-winning campaign — including how it came together, how organizers used social media to build a dedicated following and what each dinner taught Cronquist and his team — in the September issue of Floral Management.

Q: How to implement camera functionality in iOS app through XCode I am starting from zero with iOS app development but I need to create an app that can use the iPhone camera to take an image. I have found UIImagePickerController but I cannot figure out how to implement it correctly. If anyone could help me that would be great. Also I know very little about app development so if there is any background knowledge I would need to understand your answers would be appreciated.

A: You can call this method wherever you want to open UIImagePickerController:
func openImagePicker() {
    let vc = UIImagePickerController()
    vc.sourceType = .camera
    vc.allowsEditing = true
    vc.delegate = self
    present(vc, animated: true)
}

Make your view controller conform to both UINavigationControllerDelegate and UIImagePickerControllerDelegate by making an extension like this:
extension youViewControllerClass: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {

    func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {

        picker.dismiss(animated: true) // dismisses camera controller

        guard let image = info[.editedImage] as? UIImage else {
            print("No image found")
            return
        }

        // You will get your image here
        print(image.size)
     }

    func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController){
        picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
        // here you will get the cancel event
    }

}

Barcelona's oldest cocktail bar, opened in 1933, is just a few steps off the Ramblas, a hundred metres or so down from the Canaletes fountain.
It's a good central spot to meet up with friends after work before going on to another bar and then dinner.
It's a classic art deco bar with bartenders in tuxedos who will mix you a cocktail with style. There's no menu of drinks – but the bartenders are well-practised at serving over 60 different cocktails. If you're undecided just ask for the cocktail of the day.
Take a look at the sketches, drawings, photos and letters on the walls while you're here. You'll see drawings by Miró and a photo of Kevin Costner among portraits of locally known luminaries. It's a popular haunt for media types, politicians and private eyes. I've often seen locally prominent politicians in here arguing a point of policy, or just gossiping, with senior journalists.
If you visit in the evening you'll likely hear a familiar voice from Catalan radio above the lively, loud chatter.
A good spot for meeting up with friends before a night on the town.
Please be aware that Boadas is not a chiringuito (beach bar) – so dress appropriately – they are none too keen on flip-flops, and if you turn up looking like you've just walked in off the beach they may politely ask you to leave.

Nissan Maxima and Murano named to Cars.com '2020 Car Seat Check Honor Roll'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The 2020 Nissan Maxima and Murano have been named to Cars.com's Car Seat Check Honor Roll, an annual listing of family vehicles that "best fit car seats and have the easiest-to-use LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) systems for car seat installation." The vehicles selected were based on evaluations by Cars.com's certified car seat technicians.
According to Cars.com, properly installed child-safety seats decrease the risk of death by up to 71% for infants and 54% for 1-to-4-year-olds1.
Evaluators noted Maxima's color-coded lower LATCH anchors and top tethers, which make them easier to find. They also praised Murano's roomy interior for being able to fit three child-safety seats across its backseat.
Cars.com also named both Maxima and Murano to the 2019 list, earning all A's in the online site's research. To receive the top grade of A, the technicians evaluate the car's LATCH system, checking that the lower anchors and top tether anchors are easy to find and use. They also install a rear-facing infant seat, rear- and forward-facing convertible car seat, and a high-back booster seat into each test car, looking for any issues with fit or installation.
Following Maxima's restyling for the 2019 model year, the 2020 model saw additional enhancements, including standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 across the entire lineup. Nissan Safety Shield® 360 is a suite of six advanced active safety and driver-assist technologies, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Automatic Braking.
In 2021, Maxima celebrates four decades as Nissan's flagship sedan with a special, limited-production Maxima 40th Anniversary Edition.
Murano also received a number of enhancements for 2020, including expanded availability of Nissan Safety Shield® 360, which is standard on SV, SL and Platinum grades. All Murano models, like Maxima, also feature Nissan's innovative Rear Door Alert system2 that can remind a busy driver to check the rear seat for children or objects upon exiting their vehicle using a series of distinctive honks.

Terry Gilliam's nightmarish low-tech/high-tech future vision takes place in 1997, after a deadly virus has killed 99% of the human population--forcing the survivors to flee beneath our planet's surface. This leaves the (other) animals topside, to rule the Earth once again. The scientists select James Cole, an imprisoned sociopath, to return to the past and gather information useful in the defense against this contagion. Once back in time, he is to investigate the mysterious 'Army of the Twelve Monkeys' and report his findings. Scientific, social, and political themes like time travel (and its inherent paradoxes and nested loops), mental illness, the nature of reality, animal rights, and the Armageddon-potential of unchecked technological advances are artfully and cleverly explored.

L.J. Washington: I don't really come from outer space. Jeffrey Goines: Oh. L. J. Washington. He doesn't really come from outer space. L.J. Washington: Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?
Jeffrey Goines: Telephone call? Telephone call? That's communication with the outside world. Doctor's *discretion*. Nuh-uh. Look, hey - all of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, plague of madness.
Jeffrey Goines: There was this guy, and he was always requesting shows that had already played. Yes. No. You have to tell her before. He couldn't quite grasp the idea that the charge nurse couldn't make it be yesterday. She couldn't turn back time, thank you, Einstein! Now, *he* was nuts! *He* was a fruitcake, Jim!
[James Cole found a spider and knows he's got to take it with him, let's it crawl over his hand while deciding what to do with it] Jeffrey Goines: You know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules. Take germs, for example. James Cole: Germs? Jeffrey Goines: Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See? [James Cole finally takes the spider into his mouth, Jeffrey Goines is either too deep into his talk or unimpressed by this and continues his talk as if nothing happened] Jeffrey Goines: Ah! Ah! There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion. You... you... you believe in germs, right?
Terry Gilliam gave Bruce Willis a list of "Willis acting clich�s" not to be used during the film, including the "steely blue eyes look".
Features a fresnel (flat) lens, as did Brazil (1985), also directed by Terry Gilliam.
Director Terry Gilliam and producer Charles Roven had several arguments about how the film should end. Gilliam wanted to finish on the shot of Railly looking at young Cole while Roven preferred the scripted final scene in the parking lot outside the airport. In an attempt to dissuade Roven, Gilliam proposed an immensely complex setup involving two cranes on top of one another and a vast sea of cars in the hope that Roven would veto it as being too expensive. Roven not only okayed the shot but Gilliam so loved the result that he used it to end the film.
The scenes in the insane asylum were shot in Eastern State Penitentiary, a now-unused prison in Philadelphia.

Debbie Rosenberg
It's hard for me to believe, but I've been a professional bridge player and teacher for over 30 years. Along with Michael Rosenberg, our then 14-year-old son Kevin, and my mom, Judy Zuckerberg, in 2011 I moved from NY to the Bay Area of California.
While I've always enjoyed seeing young people learn bridge, in 2013 youth bridge become my passion. That year I became a mentor and organizer in the USBF Junior training program, and co-founded a youth bridge organization in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley Youth Bridge.

SiVY: A Story of Youth Bridge Success - Part 1
by Debbie Rosenberg Nov. 28, 2019
Bridge players often thank me for my work with youth bridge, and while I'm grateful, it feels wrong that I get so much credit, while others who have done at least as much get little or no recognition. Please help me change that this Thanksgiving. Many folks have made vast contributions to SiVY (Silicon Valley Youth Bridge). While I probably won't succeed at mentioning them all, I'd like to try.
In Part 2, I plan to discuss how SiVY got started, give an overview of each of the programs that SiVY offers, provide some data, and share my personal thoughts on the highs and lows. Not everything has been a success, and I will try to offer some of the advice that people have sought in considering starting their own youth programs.
First and foremost, however, allow me to feature a few of the fantastic folks who have done as much or more for SiVY as I have. Most of them are currently doing more.
Please thank these people when you see them! I expect that they will all be at the San Francisco NABC.
WILL WATSON
Meet Will Watson, TD extraordinaire. Will is one of the most selfless people I've ever met, and the bridge world is incredibly lucky that bridge is the passion to which he devotes his time and ample skills.
Will has volunteered at virtually every SiVY event where a tournament director is needed! He also pre-duped many, many boards. If I suggest to Will that we plan a special event, in addition to the regularly scheduled pizza parties and Casual Fridays (e.g. a parent-child game, or training session for the local juniors competing in the upcoming trials), his answer is invariably, "I would like to do that."
An expert player, Will plays some professionally and could surely make his living doing that exclusively. Yet he is loyal and dedicated to the local bridge community, making time to run games regularly, as well as to train and assist other directors. When away at tournament, he works feverishly to prepare in advance, then spends much of his non-playing time working by phone.
If he happens to have a free day, Will can be found partnering a SiVY junior in a local sectional. He is a fabulous mentor. While directing, on occasion I've seen Will lose patience with an adult player (for good reason!), yet I've never seen it with a junior. Will Watson is my hero.
CHERYL MANDALA
Events Registrar, High School Coach, and more
Cheryl Mandala joined SiVY toward the end of 2013, volunteering to use her exceptional organizational skills to maintain a database and manage the process of inviting kids to pizza parties and other events. Many hours are spent behind the scenes helping these events run smoothly.
Six years later, Cheryl still does all that, and so much more. She works not only behind the scenes, but in person at the events. Youth players and their parents are greeted by Cheryl's warm and friendly welcome. She prints personalized nametags for each guest, and makes sure their information is up to date. She diligently records emergency contact info, and ensures that parents feel their children are in a welcoming and safe environment.
In addition, Cheryl coaches the Monta Vista HS Bridge Club, and has done so since she and Kevin founded the club back in 2014! Kevin graduated, and now all the players from that original club have done so, yet Cheryl keeps it going with new players each year. The club is now in its 6th year, and in my experience most volunteers would have needed a break, yet Cheryl keeps going strong.
On top of the weekly meetings, Cheryl has held practice sessions at her home. She has also mentored individually in tournaments: both players from her high school club and other serious students of the game.
SiVY Board of Directors October 2017
Left to Right: Stephanie Youngquist, Randy Ryals, Debbie Rosenberg, Alan Templeton, Cheryl Haines, Michael Bodell, Margot Livenspargar, and Sue Griswold. Not in this photo: Mukund Thapa and Frank Smoot.
RANDY RYALS President
Randy joined the SiVY BoD in 2013, when a secretary was badly needed. He continued as secretary until June 2017, when he became President!
While competently filling the necessary role of secretary, Randy was also a head teacher in one of SiVY's first after-school programs, volunteered at pizza parties, and then took on the daunting role of Summer Camp Coordinator in 2014. He has continued with summer camp every year, taught in many, many after -school programs, runs Casual Fridays most weeks, and has been at almost every pizza party. Even before he was President, Randy was involved with every aspect of making SiVY a success. It is truly dazzling how much Randy does for youth bridge, while still finding time to play this game we all love at tournaments.
Never seeming to tire, it is fitting that Randy's standard greeting is "Good morning", always with a smile, whatever time of day you meet. When you run into him one evening at nationals, why not greet him with "Good Morning and Good Job!"
SUE GRISWOLD Vice President
Sue is a founding board member who took on the role of event coordinator from the beginning, and incredibly hasn't quit. Organizing a pizza party for kids every month for over 6 years? I'm exhausted typing that.
As Vice President, Sue has done just about anything and everything for SiVY. On top of that, she has been a head teacher in an after-school program most years. Along the way, she found the time to become a Life Master herself, having played bridge socially in high school and college, then returning to the game after a long hiatus for her career. After her return to bridge, and before SiVY, Sue served a treasurer and president of Unit 503. Thank you, Sue; no way we could have done this without you!
CHERYL HAINES Marketing Director
What does Cheryl do? A better question might be, "What doesn't she do?" While she signed on as Marketing Director in 2013, so as to make use of her professional skills, Cheryl has started and maintained many SiVY programs. She has taught in schools, organized summer camp, ordered our T-shirts, ensured that our volunteers are recognized each year, published a newsletter three times a year, raised funds, and helped at pizza parties. In my mind, Cheryl is the glue that keeps SiVY together.
Cheryl is the embodiment of the phrase "if you want something done, ask a busy person." As if all she does for SiVY weren't enough, Cheryl volunteered to chair the I/N program for the upcoming San Francisco NABC. In the midst of preparing for that, she managed to publish the latest SiVY newsletter just last week. Cheryl is amazing, and should be easy to find in the I/N area at the SF nationals, when she is not playing.
ALAN TEMPLETON Webmaster
Alan is a SiVY founder, and I doubt we would have ever gotten a youth bridge program off the ground without him. His enthusiastic support for the idea, combined with his knowledge and skills, was key to my believing that what we wanted to accomplish was possible. Alan has served as a volunteer in multiple capacities for many years both for Unit 503 and SiVY.
In addition to being an awesome webmaster, Alan has regularly been a pizza party volunteer, photographer, mentor, and summer camp helper. He has also been a classroom helper, contract negotiator, and more. You name it, you need it done, and Alan is there.
MUKUND THAPA Treasurer
Mukund and I had a meeting in the winter of 2013, to discuss our shared love of the game of bridge, the wonderful experience of having a bridge-playing teenager who also loved the game, and to brainstorm over how we could bring this joy to other families. This got it all started. We shared a vision, and were both ready to work to make it a reality.
From the beginning, Mukund agreed to use his skills to act as treasurer (a thankless job nobody else was willing to do), and has carried on in that role until this day, despite a busy work/travel schedule. When in town, Mukund helps at pizza parties and other special events, often contributing his excellent photography skills.
MICHAEL BODELL Secretary
Michael Bodell joined the SiVY board in 2013, adding a younger voice to the program, and always a voice of reason. His original title was project manager, and in 2017, he took on the thankless job of Board Secretary, a role he continues to perform reliably. Michael is a regular Bridge Winners contributor, and it will not be surprising to readers that he is our data guy. Part 2 will include some of the stats he has compiled. Michael has also contributed to SiVY in many other ways, including school operations committee, head teacher, event helper, high school championship committee, and managing the YNABC sponsorship program. He is an active tournament player, regularly competing in NABC+ events, so he shouldn't be difficult to thank in person for all he does!
STEPHANIE YOUNGQUIST
Stephanie joined the SiVY BoD in 2016, and injected much needed new energy! She is a hard-working and accomplished volunteer, and has become our go-to person for all that needs doing. From helping at pizza parties, acting as partnership desk for special events, running SiVY's volunteer reception, coordinating the Bay Area high school championship, managing YNABC, and so much more, Stephanie does it all, and does it well. Not only that, she is co-chairing the I/N program at the SF NABC, so please find her there to say thank you.
MARGOT LIVENSPARGAR
Margot is a SiVY Founding Volunteer, and has been a consistent, dedicated force. She has been a head classroom teacher every year since SiVY started. This is no small accomplishment - most volunteers have felt that one year in that role is their limit. Margot is also a regular pizza party table helper, often taking on the difficult task of introducing bridge from scratch to a table of beginners. In addition, Margot has helped frequently at summer camp, and has served in various organizational capacities. She joined the BoD in 2016.
FRANK SMOOT
Frank is a founding SiVY volunteer, having emceed the very first pizza party in May of 2013. His superb teaching skills, sense of humor, and personality have been a boon to the program. A much loved bridge teacher for adults as well, Frank has taught at SiVY summer camp, mentored as well as emceed at many pizza parties, organized YNABC training, and more. He joined the SiVY BoD in June of 2017.
Youth Volunteers:
Our original vision for the program included having kids we taught in middle school return as volunteers after they graduated. I envisioned high school students biking back to their middle school at the end of the day, volunteering as a classroom helper or possibly even co-teacher. This was a hypothetical solution to volunteer burnout.
While that vision proved unrealistic, there are a number of "SiVY kids" who have indeed gone on to volunteer, spreading their love of the game to other young people. I'd like to mention a few of them, with apologies to anyone I leave out.
SiVY Founding Youth Volunteers:
Isha Thapa and Kevin Rosenberg, respectively the inspiration for Mukund and me to get all of this started, were both enthusiastic participants, playing key roles the program's success.
Isha Thapa
Isha coaches a group of beginners at the first ever SiVY Summer Camp in 2014
When SiVY got underway, Isha was finishing high school in Palo Alto and heading off to UC Berkeley. Yet somehow she managed to be around for many of the early SiVY events. Over the years she has helped at pizza parties, coached at summer camp, and mentored younger players. Having her as a teacher and role model was a major asset to the program. Parent-child bridge couldn't get a better advertisement than watching how much Isha and Mukund enjoy playing as partners.
At UC Berkeley, Isha introduced hundreds of students to bridge through a program called Democratic Education at Cal. She taught the bridge DeCal almost every semester that she was there, as well as being president of the Cal bridge club. As mentioned, when back home, she frequently helped out at SiVY events, also managing to bring a few college students from time to time. More than once, Isha captained a Cal collegiate team to great success, all while diligently working toward competing internationally through the USBF junior training program.
Kevin Rosenberg
Kevin coaching Michael Hu at 2014 SiVY Bridge Camp
When SiVY got underway in 2013, Kevin was finishing up his sophomore year of high school, and had recently become an avid tournament bridge player. He was a huge fan of bringing more kids into the game, and played a major role as a volunteer in the first few years, including attending virtually every pizza party or other special event, coaching at summer camp, and starting a club at his high school senior year. He then coached a team from that club to victory in the first Bay Area High School Championship. There were cash prizes, and Kevin was eligible to participate as a player, but he felt it would be better for the program if he did not, and allowed the other schools to compete on a more level playing field.
From my point of view, having Kevin as a co-founder, co-planner, and a sounding board was invaluable. When he went away for college, I greatly missed having him with me for SiVY events and planning. He continued to contribute to the program as a volunteer, frequently playing online with SiVY kids, and live in local games when home. At UC Berkeley, Kevin took over teaching the bridge DeCal when Isha left, and also introduced the game to hundreds of students that way.
"SiVY Kids" who became volunteers
Sarah Youngquist
Sarah coaching at a pizza party lesson in 2019
Sarah learned bridge in her freshman year of high school, a couple of years after SiVY came into existence. Her grandparents had wanted to teach her for a while, but she wasn't really interested until she discovered friends her age were playing.
It was quickly apparent that Sarah had great talent and passion for the game. She has become a star, and a sought-after partner for local experts. Sarah represented the US for the first time at the U21 World Youth Team Championship in 2018. A year later, while still eligible for U21, she was on the gold-medal-winning U26 team in Croatia, at the 2019 World Transnational Youth Teams.
Sarah has also become an active SiVY volunteer. She has been a head teacher at SiVY summer camp for two summers, and recently initiated optional lessons before pizza parties. Along with her mom, she co-chaired the 2019 HS Championship (after winning it three consecutive years for Palo Alto HS), and volunteers in multiple capacities, including mentoring campers who are interested in getting more serious about the game.
Michael Hu and Arthur Zhou
YNABC Pairs 1st Place 2019, Michael left/ Arthur right
Michael Hu
At age 10, having recently completed a beginner bridge class with his parents, Michael attended the very first SiVY Pizza Party in May of 2013. He also attended the first Parent-Child Duplicate and first Summer Camp. To top off the firsts, Michael was the first SiVY kid to become an ACBL Life Master (we don't count Isha and Kevin, who were LMs before SiVY started), which he achieved in 2018, at age 15.
Michael has had a long list of achievements as a player, with successes in local tournaments, plus wins in YNABC Swiss (2017) and YNABC Pairs (2019). I still remember my excitement when he and Arthur Zhou scored 70% at a local sectional Open Pairs almost three years ago. Michael and Arthur were on the winning Flight C GNT team in 2017, having been added after the District phase by the 4-handed team that won D21. Most of Michael's successes have been in partnership with Arthur, so see below for more!
Michael is an active SiVY volunteer. In addition to having helped at more than one camp, he and Arthur have been co-teaching a bridge class for an organization called Silicon Valley Youth (unconnected to SiVY!) Michael has also taught friends less formally, and he and Arthur are in the process of starting a bridge club at Lynbrook HS, where Michael is now a junior.
I know Michael would want this blurb to include a mention of his mom, Qing Lu, who has volunteered for SiVY in many capacities. She is perhaps best known for the delicious snacks she provides daily at summer camp each year. Yet, I think of her above all as a master recruiter, and I want to mention this to illustrate how much one person can do to Keep Bridge Alive. On a tour bus with ten families from the same soccer team, Qing enticed eight of them to sign their kids up for summer camp. Arthur Zhou's family was on that bus, and that was the beginning of the story below.
Arthur Zhou
I love talking about Arthur. In 2014, at that first SiVY summer camp, Arthur was part of the group of rank beginners which Elianna Meyerson and I co-taught. His talent and interest stood out immediately, and being a first-hand witness to his growth since then has been a blast. Arthur's dad had played some bridge in college in China, but had not played at all in the US before Arthur learned. After that, they became a regular partnership, playing first in SiVY Parent-Child games, and then tournaments. Since Arthur formed his partnership with Michael, his dad doesn't play as much, yet I still feel that SiVY brought him back to the game, and into the ACBL for the first time. Seeing both father and son enjoying the game has been most rewarding.
After Arthur had been playing about a year, Kevin and I suggested that he and Michael form a partnership. They have been enormously successful. In addition to successes mentioned under Michael's name above, they have represented the US twice in the U16 competition at World Championships, and brought home the bronze medal in 2018. This past summer at the NABC, Arthur needed special permission to enter the 3-day LM Pairs, because he had just gone over the point requirements, and they hadn't all been recorded yet. Michael and Arthur proved they belonged by qualifying for Day 3 and scoring above average that day. Later in the week they placed in the overalls of the Wernher Pairs as well, before their victory in the YNABC pairs.
Arthur has volunteered at summer camp, and last semester, when Michael wasn't available to co-teach their class at Silicon Valley Youth (the organization unconnected to SiVY), Arthur did it alone!
Jonathan Yue
Jonathan joined SiVY early in 2016, having recently moved to the US from China where he had been playing bridge for about four years already. Though his parents don't play at all, they are tremendously supportive, which allows Jonathan to be an active participant in both local events and major tournaments. Jonathan was a member of the U16 team that won the bronze medal at the World Youth Team Championships in 2018, and in 2019 he was on the team which placed 2nd nationally in Flight C GNT.
By coincidence, Jonathan, who was in 7th grade at the time he moved to the US, landed at Bret Harte, a middle school in San Jose which already had an after-school bridge club. Jonathan became heavily involved in keeping that bridge club going for the remainder of his time in middle school, trying to get the kids to actually learn some bridge beyond throwing cards! He then founded a new bridge club when he got to Leland HS, and works hard to make it a great one. Check out the photo below.

Finally, a shout out to SiVY Kids Matthew Shi and Brent Xiao, who this semester have been co-teaching a bridge class of about 15 students at Carnegie Mellon University, where Matthew is a junior and Brent is a sophomore.
So many more volunteers
SiVY has been blessed with numerous volunteers, in many capacities, mostly big or bigger! There are the brave souls who have managed major programs, such as Summer Camp, YNABC, HS Championship, School Outreach, Mentoring, and Program Operations. An enormous role which some have taken on is Head Teacher in a school. There are classroom helpers, mentors, summer camp volunteers, pizza party volunteers, and HS Championship helpers. We've had professionals volunteer their services in the areas of graphic art and design, fundraising, reporting, Spanish translation, and catering! Many on the below list have filled multiple roles.
These volunteers have done a huge amount for youth bridge and deserve more than a mere mention of their name on a list. You'll surely see some of their names again in Part 2 of this article, in the context of program details.
For now, since I really would like to thank all involved, below is a long list of *most* everyone else who has volunteered for SiVY. My sincere apologies for any errors or omissions.
In addition to the list below, which includes several parents of kids in the program, I want to thank all of the parents who have graciously helped out without ever being designated "official" volunteers.

There have been many contributions, both local and from around the country (and world!) which have been instrumental to SiVY's success. In addition to major monetary donations, we have received free and deeply discounted books, among other support. I'd like to name some of these supporting individuals and organizations, again with apologies to all those I am leaving out.

Lauren Friedman Center for Bridge Education of San Francisco Founder
In advance of the SF Nationals, I'd also like to give a special mention and thanks to Lauren Friedman and The Center for Bridge Education of San Francisco (CBE), who made getting started so much easier for us by taking us on as a "DBA" (doing business as), giving SiVY 501C3 status with minimal effort. Lauren has been a quiet force behind the scenes of youth bridge for far longer than SiVY has existed. She is an active competitor, so when you see her at the nationals, please thank her for all she has done for youth bridge. CBE and Peninsula Youth Bridge (PYB) are both neighboring youth programs, which will have kids participating at this nationals. Along with District 21, the three local youth organizations are co-hosting Junior Day on November 30th.
Coming after the NABC: Part 2 with the history of SiVY and lots of program details. In the meantime, please join me in recognizing the people behind the program. Thank you all.
