MLS Road Trip Flashback: Part 4 -- The 6
Yes, I quoted Drake in the title, but I'm from Yolo County, so it's okay, right? Regardless of how you feel, doing so is more engaging than my previous ledes, so there's that.
It was mid-July, around the halfway point of our road trip. We just had to get through this section, then we could finally see the light of day and imagine sleeping in our own beds for the first time in what seemed like forever.
If you haven't read any of my previous MLS Road Trip flashback pieces, you can view the intro, which explains what we did four years ago here. Part 1 of the trip is available here. Part 2 is here. Part 3 is here.
However, if you're too lazy to read through my rambling nonsense, here's the short: two friends and I set out to attend and report on 14 MLS games in 12 different cities in a 53-day period during the summer of 2012 in order to help satisfy my journalism school requirements for graduating.
As always, unless otherwise noted, the photos in this post come courtesy of the excellent Dan Perlea.
For each post, I'll highlight 1-4 of the 14 games we attended on the trip. Please note that some of the quotes included may not be 100 percent accurate, as I'm working off four-year-old notes and memory at some points.
This portion of the trip went as follows:
July 9: Drive from Boston to Toronto, 550 miles
July 11: Toronto FC 3 - Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2
Total: 4 days, 1 game, 5 goals, 550 miles.
(Author's note: I originally planned on writing about three games in this piece, but just the first went over 2,000 words, so I split it up.)
We had been on the road for 24 days before we set off from Boston to voyage to Toronto. 24 blurred-together days of endless drives and meals consisting of just Nature Valley Bars and Golazo. It had been just 19 days since we left the West Coast, but it seemed like an eternity.
We'd already traveled 6,627 miles in those 24 days, an average of 276 per day. That's roughly the equivalent of spending four hours a day in a car for more than three weeks straight. It was during this segment of the trip that I realized that we were going to fail.
Initially, I had set out with the goal of the website reaching 100,000 pageviews during the summer, my Twitter account reaching 1,000 followers, and us generating content within 24 hours of attending each game.
The website still doesn't have 100,000 pageviews, it took me until 2015 to garner 1,000 Twitter followers, and at that point we were lucky if content made it up to the website within a week, if at all.
Because I'm a much better (or at least faster) writer now, I can see all the mistakes we made looking back on the trip. People who followed the blog likely looked for almost daily updates. These stopped coming even though some of our most successful posts were the short ones. It wouldn't have been hard to update the website each day with a small post or two about where we were and what we were doing. Instead, I was just focused on getting through the games. I was worried about getting to the end of the journey, rather than just enjoying the journey itself.
Furthermore, we simply weren't talking to enough people. This is still a weakness of mine, though one I've improved on recently. How was anyone supposed to hear about our blog if we were only talking to two or three people per stop? As my college soccer coach used to like to say, "Youth is wasted on the young."
Perlea had made the arrangements to stay in Toronto, where his cousin and her husband (also named Dan) lived. With what was becoming a trend, we arrived near dark in Toronto at the wrong destination. For whatever reason, Perlea's iPhone navigation only took us about a mile from our destination. It's funny, when it takes you just over seven hours to go the first 549 miles of a trip, then another two to go the last one.
Eventually we found the place, and were welcomed with open arms into the Romanian expat home just outside of the city. Our hosts were as generous as ever, though very insistent on making sure that we ate and drank enough. The image of that first cool night, in a lush backyard in a nice suburb, remains in my head now. Cheap Canadian 16 oz. canned lagers filled up the table as our host, Dan, showed us on his computer what he did.
He was in the graphic design world, the type where one generated images of proposed stadiums or events. Essentially, Dan created stadium porn, and he couldn't have been nicer. Every time someone finished a beer, Dan would immediately replace it with a fresh, cold one. After Jake Coburn finished his first, there was about a two-minute conversation between he and Dan as to whether or not to take a second beer. Never much of a drinker, Coburn didn't want to have a second, but Dan probably thought he was just being polite. After maybe three minutes, Coburn reluctantly accepted, then took two-three hours to finish said beer.
"It's a Romanian thing to make sure guests are given enough food and drinks," Perlea texted me when I asked him about this event. "What constitutes enough is basically as much as they have."
It was hard to turn down such great hospitality of our hosts. As someone who never really ate much meat, and especially not processed meat, this week was...well...interesting. Our host family put hot dogs in everything. And I mean everything. Their homemade pizza featured hot dogs instead of pepperoni. Their homemade pickled vegetable soup wasn't complete without a few chunks of hot dog. And so on.
Never in my life have I felt better physically but worse emotionally for rejecting food.
Before the match, we hung out at a weird bar with some Toronto FC supporters. I say weird because it looked exactly like you'd expect a nightclub to look. There were large open spaces filled with just wooden floors, some leather seats in the corners, and no windows to speak of. I asked the supporters where we were. Their answer: a nightclub.
Apparently the TFC supporters group U-Sector was forced to have three different bases of operation. I don't recall the names of any of the three bars, but from what I remember, the pregame nightclub bar was the only one close to BMO Field, so it made sense to pre-game there. The supporters laughed because the beer was so cheap at the normally expensive nightclub, and told me why. Apparently happy hours are illegal in Toronto, so that night club couldn't offered discounted drinks just when U-Sector came to party. They could, however, offer low-cost beer that wasn't discounted from the beer's normal price because, well, the only time they sold that particular beer was right before TFC games.
Alcohol laws are stupid most of the time.
For U-Sector's other two bars, one served as the post-game meeting area and one served as the away game viewing party area. I don't remember why, but it was here that night club that we received a random act of kindness from a TFC supporter. A fan messaged me on Facebook after hearing of our trip and said he'd like to give us some T-shirts. I don't recall the fan's full name -- I believe his first name was David though -- but he simply met up, said hello, and gave me a plastic bag stuffed with three copies of one of my favorite shirts to this day. Pictured below is yours truly modeling said shirt in front of Niagara Falls.
That would be the first of three random acts of kindness that night. Right after that, Red Patch Boys president Phil Tobin gave us RPB scarves, and a random fan after the match let me have his Red Patch Boys 2011 Player of the Year Joao Plata scarf.
Of course you'll want to hear about the games, which didn't disappoint on this section of the trip. In fact, the match in Toronto might just be the best soccer game I've ever been to. It incited reactions such as those below while also giving the home supporters a reason to party afterwards.
This isn't a Perlea image; it comes courtesy of local journalist Duane Rollins instead. More on Rollins in a minute. This wasn't the Toronto FC of Giovinco, Bradley, and Altidore that we saw. This was a joke of a team that featured over-the-hill veterans earning their last or next-to-last paycheck in Torsten Frings and Danny Koevermans.
TFC had somehow managed to lose nine games straight opening the season and were just 2-11-4 heading into that night's match. Officially the season was halfway over. Unofficially, it ended far before then. But the fan support didn't and hasn't since wavered. "Think of how bad this team is, and look at how many people are here," U-Sector supporter Mike Doran told me at halftime. As described by Doran, the team was atrocious, but we caught them on the correct night. You can read my mediocre pieces about U-Sector here and about the Red Patch Boys here, but the real story is below.
Everyone knows that Toronto FC were one of the worst-run MLS clubs from roughly 2007-2014, but they were even worse than most might remember. In that eight-year stretch of futility, TFC put together a collective record of 62-120-74, good for 1.02 points per game. Yes, Toronto averaged a tie until Sebastian Giovinco arrived in Canada. Everyone I've spoken to regarding early TFC says the same thing: Mo Johnston was a great player, but he had no idea how to coach or manage one. Johnston was the coach for Toronto's 6-17-7 expansion year team, and then their GM until he was fired in late 2010. Former U.S. Men's National Team coach Bob Gansler -- an assistant on the 2007 team -- once told me on the record that he retired from full-time coaching rather than work a second year with Johnston.
Heading into that match in 2012, TFC's all-time record stood at 42-78-51, which was good for a slightly better points per game ratio of 1.04. And yet, Toronto fans supported the team in droves -- 18,131 was the lowest average attendance in those first four years. "I honestly believe that the second wave of MLS support started with us," one TFC supporter told me at a bar following the game (before retreating to the men's room to ingest a questionably legal substance). "D.C. United fans started it, but we brought it to the next level."
That fan was correct, in a way. D.C. United always had La Barra Brava providing a true soccer atmosphere just south from the always underrated New York fans. Section 8 then followed their lead in 1998, supporting the Chicago Fire. But the Toronto FC fans bridged the gap in between the early supporters groups and what images now come to mind when we think of passionate soccer crowds in this country -- the Portlands, the Seattles, the Kansas Citys. The iconic moment from those early TFC years was probably the seat cushion-giveaway game, in which fans hurled the Frisbee-shaped objects towards the pitch after Danny Dichio poked home the first goal in club history.
But the results on the field never matched the passion off it, which leads me to the above photo.
After a scoreless first half, Darren Mattocks gave the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps FC a lead in the 50th minute. Two quick TFC goals from Luis Silva and Torsten Frings quickly turned the deficit into a one-goal lead as the Reds attempted to close out just their third win of the season.
It was a hopeful ball -- if anything -- from Whitecaps left back that changed the course of the game. There's not really much else to say other than that Darren Mattocks literally jumped over a guy and headed home from nothing. If you subscribe to the asinine argument that our best athletes aren't playing soccer, click on the link from the previous sentence. If you don't though, also click on it.
As Mattocks sprinted in front of U-Sector, making a heart with his hands above his head, beers rained down and the finger came out from supporters. It was vintage TFC -- sometimes promising, but mostly disappointing. I turned to Coburn after the goal. He just stood there with his jaw wide open, unable to conjure any words for what we'd just seen.
"That was probably one of my [most] lasting soccer memories for me on the trip," Coburn recalled to me recently. "Seeing him run towards the Toronto group with his hands in the shape of a heart...he was one of my favorite MLS players after that."
What happened next was decidedly anti-TFC. In the 95th minute of stoppage time -- the last chance of the game -- Frings lined up to take a corner kick. You can view the play at the 5:00 mark here, but unexpectedly, Frings whipped in a perfect corner kick that midfielder Terry Dunfield headed into the upper left corner of the net, just over the head of legendary South Korean defender Lee Young-pyo. Dunfield had been a member of the Reds for just three days total after he was traded to the club by...the Whitecaps.
For Toronto FC, it was just the club's fourth come-from-behind victory ever, their sixth second-half stoppage time goal ever, and their first-ever comeback victory that included a second-half stoppage time goal. The Reds wouldn't make the playoffs for another three years, but the TFC fans didn't care that night -- off-key renditions of Depeche Mode's "I just can't get enough" echoed throughout the hallways of the Toronto metro as fans went to go party.
We joined up with U-Sector post game, where I met the aforementioned Rollins. "You're a journalist?" I recall him asking to me. "Well, we're fucked. We're all fucked."
He's not wrong. My bank account balance can prove it.

Wood Smoke and Tuberculosis

Anthracosis and large mediastinal mass in a patient with healed pulmonary tuberculosis.
Onitilo et al
http://www.clinmedres.org/content/8/2/99
"Anthracosis is a form of pneumoconiosis seen in coal workers, although other environmental factors such as cigarette smoke, air pollution and biomass fuels used extensively for cooking and home heating are also known to cause anthracosis.1–6 The terms "hut lung" or "domestically acquired particulate lung disease" have been used to describe the condition.7 A diagnostic feature in anthracosis is the black-colored deposits along the airway or lymph nodes. Problems caused by chronic exposure to biomass smoke and other particulates, such as dust or silicates from food grinding, are becoming more relevant in the western world due to immigration.7,8 Individuals may develop both physical and radiologic abnormalities of the lung presenting as chronic obstructive or fibrotic lung disease due to chronic exposure to smoke and particulates. Recent estimates attribute 1.5 to 2 million deaths per year worldwide to indoor air pollution, most of them (1 million) occurring in children younger than 5 years due to acute respiratory infections, but also in women due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer."
"Our patient had a recent history of tuberculosis and a life-long history of exposure to wood-stove soot. An important question is, which came first? Tuberculosis can remain dormant in the body for decades. Dust deposition and scar formation are common findings in old lymphadenitis due to tuberculosis; therefore, one can argue that the inflammation induced by tuberculosis in the mediastinal lymph nodes may be the inciting stimulus for the final mass in this patient. However, the converse may be the case; environmental exposure to wood soot may be an immunosuppressive event in which the host's cellular immunity action is diverted to engulfing anthracosis leading to impairment of respiratory defenses against mycobacteria."

Indoor Air Pollution in India: Implications on Health and its Control
http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.i ... 0India.pdf
The use of biomass as a cooking fuel was found to be significantly associated with a high prevalence of active tuberculosis (OR = 3.56, 95% CI: 2.82-4.50). The prevalence remained large and significant even after analyzing separately for men (OR = 2.46) and women (OR = 2.74) and for urban (OR = 2.29) and rural areas (OR = 2.65). Fifty-one percent of prevalence of active tuberculosis is attributable to cooking smoke in the age group 20 years and above.

Tuberculosis risk from exposure to solid fuel smoke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Kurmi OP1, Sadhra CS2, Ayres JG3, Sadhra SS3.
PDF PPV
http://jech.bmj.com/content/68/12/1112.long
Studies, particularly from low-income and middle-income countries, suggest that exposure to smoke from household air pollution (HAP) may be a risk factor for tuberculosis. The primary aim of this study was to quantify the risk of tuberculosis from HAP and explore bias and identify possible causes for heterogeneity in reported effect sizes.
A systematic review was conducted from original studies. Meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model, with results presented as a pooled effect estimate (EE) with 95% CI. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed.
Twelve studies that considered active tuberculosis and reported adjusted effect sizes were included in the meta-analyses. The overall pooled EE (OR, 95% CI) showed a significant adverse effect (1.43, 1.07 to 1.91) and with significant heterogeneity between studies (I(2)=70.8%, p<0.001). When considering studies of cases diagnosed microbiologically, the pooled EE approached significance (1.26, 0.95 to 1.68). The pooled EE (OR, 95% CI) was significantly higher among those exposed only to biomass smoke (1.49, 1.08 to 2.05) when compared with the use of kerosene only (0.70, 0.13 to 3.87). Similarly, the pooled EE among women (1.61, 0.73 to 3.57) was greater than when both genders were combined (1.39, 1.01 to 1.92). There was no publication bias (Egger plot, p=0.136). Significant heterogeneity was observed in the diagnostic criteria for tuberculosis (coefficient=0.38, p=0.042).
Biomass smoke is a significant risk factor for active tuberculosis. Most of the studies were small with limited information on measures of HAP.

Q: How can i add a completion handler to this function? I currently have a function which calls it's self if conditions are not met (which works perfectly fine) but now i want to add a completionHandler to it, I've already tried but different ways but the completion is never returned is any of the ways I've attempted.
runSearch()
func runSearch(){
    search{
        _ in
        if (parResults.count < 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.runSearch()//Run search again**
        }
        if (parResults.count >= 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.searchComplete = true
        }
    }
}

What I've tried
runSearch() with completionHandler call
self.runSearch{
  msg in
print("all done") //Not executed
}

runSearch() with completionHandler func 1
func runSearch(completionHandler: (Bool) -> ()) -> () {
    search{
        _ in
        if (parResults.count < 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.runSearch{
                _ in
            }
        }
        if (parResults.count >= 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.searchComplete = true
            completionHandler(true)// Never returned
        }

    }
}

runSearch() with completionHandler func 2
 func runSearch(completionHandler: (Bool) -> ()) -> () {
    search{
        _ in
        if (parResults.count < 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.runSearch{
                _ in
                if (parResults.count >= 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
                    self.searchComplete = true
                    completionHandler(true)//Not returned
                }
            }
        }
        if (parResults.count >= 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.searchComplete = true
        }

    }
}

A: You need to pass your completionHandler down the line for each new call to runSearch:
func runSearch(completionHandler: (Bool) -> ()) {
    search{
        _ in
        if (parResults.count < 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.runSearch(completionHandler) // <-------
        } else if (parResults.count >= 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.searchComplete = true
            completionHandler(true)
        }
    }
}

A: func runSearch(completionHandler: (Bool) -> ()) -> () {
    search{
        _ in
        if (parResults.count < 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.runSearch(completionHandler)
        }
        if (parResults.count >= 20 && self.searchCounter < 20){
            self.searchComplete = true
            completionHandler(true)// Never returned
        }
        if (parResults.count == 0 && self.searchCounter == 20){
            self.noResultsFound = true
            completionHandler(true) //Never returned
        }
        if (parResults.count != 0 && self.searchCounter == 20){
            self.searchComplete = true
            completionHandler(true) // Never returned
        }
    }
}

It has been said that the best position any individual can on in this world is being in perfect health condition. People will get infected with health conditions and therefore health practitioners such as people specialized in medical coding and billing are the ones who will be able to treat them and advise them on their ways of life.

Healthcare degrees are very important and individuals get a number of benefits from having them.
The first benefit that individuals who have medical degrees benefit is by securing their employment. It is not always just a matter of getting a job but any individual should always look at the future. The employment field has become very volatile and things change every day and therefore one must be careful not to be overtaken by events. It is very important to also consider where you take your medical degree and it is advisable to acquire them from the Ultimate Medical Academy in the country. Sometimes organizations find themselves in a tough place where they have to release some employees and the easiest target is usually those people who are least qualified at the workplace.

Act 9 amends the Trust Act to, among other matters, enhance the protection currently available to trust assets and to incorporate the concept of Retirement Plan Trusts.
Moreover, Act 9 establishes that upon the participant's death, the beneficiary of the retirement plan benefits will be the surviving spouse, unless a designation is made to the contrary with the spouse's approval.
Pursuant to Section 1033.09 of the Code, contributions made by an employer to an employee's trust or annuity plan and compensation under a deferred payment plan are deductible expenses against gross income from the trade or business. This deduction is limited 25% of the compensation paid or accrued to all employees in the plan during the taxable year.
100% of the participant's income.
Also, Act 9 modifies the definition of highly compensated employee to exclude officers of the participating employer and include any employee that for the prior taxable year received compensation from the employer in excess of $150,000.
Act 9 establishes that assets within a Retirement Plan Trust will be exempt from the estate and inheritance provisions of the Puerto Rico Civil Code and, therefore, the distribution of its assets will be in accordance with Trust's documents.
Also, the value of property transferred to a Puerto Rico Trust by a Puerto Rico resident where the trustee is not the decedent will not be included in the decedent's gross estate even if decedent is the beneficiary of the Trust.
As indicated in the Statement of Motives, Act 9 is another cog in the current Administration's machine to jumpstart the Puerto Rico economy and stem the tide of professionals leaving the island. The legislation's objectives are noteworthy and necessary – nonetheless, careful consideration must be afforded to its implementation in order to avoid administrative issues deriving from this substantive change.

Our Maryland Heritage, Book 4: The Watkins Families
Our Maryland Heritage, Book 4: The Watkins Families - William Neal Hurley, Jr. This work, the fourth in a series of books about Maryland families, is primarily an account of the ancestors and descendants of Jeremiah Watkins. The Watkins families' prevalence in Montgomery County, Maryland, is illustrated by the fact that an 1879 atlas of the Washington area, which includes Montgomery County, lists no less than sixteen Watkins families. The book opens with an introduction to the early Watkins families, primarily of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, with some progenitors living as early as 1410. The principal subject of the following chapter is John Watkins, 3rd, who died about 1696 in Anne Arundel County. Subsequent chapters follow his numerous descendants: Nicholas Watkins, Sr., his son (b.1691); Jeremiah Watkins, his grandson (b.1743); along with Thomas Watkins, his great-grandson (b.1774); Alpha Watkins, his great-great grandson (b.1803); the descendants of Samuel B. Watkins (b.1807); and the descendants of Denton Watkins (b.1795). Later chapters discuss a number of other individuals bearing the Watkins surname found in the same geographic area as the others above, and perhaps related. This book reads like a collection of rural Montgomery County mailboxes and town names. It's not hard to believe that these families were the early settlers of the area. The bibliography lists about a hundred sources used in the preparation of this volume, and the every-name index lists 4,000 or more names included in the book.

Vital Economy Hold Older Workers
Vital for economy to 'hold on' to older workers
The UK economy will be under enormous strain, employers will not have the skilled workforces they need and people will be much poorer in retirement, unless urgent action is taken to support people to stay working longer. NIACE believes an important part of the solution is to provide all adults with Mid-life Career Reviews to help them think, plan and prepare in order to extend their working lives with confidence.
Over the past year NIACE has piloted the Mid-life Career Review Programme, which included reviews for over 3,000 people mostly aged between 45 and 64. The initial findings of the Pilot Programme will be presented at a conference in London today and will include a keynote speech from the Pensions Minister, Steve Webb MP, on a framework for action for extended working lives.
The Mid-life Career Reviews covered employment, training and health issues, and were designed for those out of work, facing redundancy, wanting to adapt to a new way of working (part-time or self-employed) or wanting to stay in the job they have. Four-fifths of surveyed advisers said their clients had improved confidence or motivation to explore career options and make changes, following the review.
David Hughes, Chief Executive of NIACE, said:
"This country faces a massive cultural, social and economic shift as our population ages. Currently, one-in-six of the UK population is aged 65 and over, by 2050 it will be one in-four. A Lords Select Committee report, last year, found that Government and society are 'woefully underprepared for the consequences of a rapidly ageing society'. Current employer plans suggest we need to fill 13.5 million job vacancies in the next 10 years, but there will be only 7 million young people leaving school or college. This means we are all going to have to work for longer and adapt to the changing nature of working life.
"The recent UKCES Employer Survey reported a rise in skills shortages which will hold back the UK's economic recovery. However, a re-motivated older workforce will not only address skills shortages in local labour markets and improve productivity but it will also help meet the Chancellor's target of full employment. People need support so they can plan and prepare sufficiently to allow them to successfully manage the second half of their lives. This means not only looking at skills and career aspirations but also at good health, finances and retirement plans."
Pensions Minister, Steve Webb, said:
"Almost one in three of today's workforce is aged 50 or above, and it's time we recognised the skills and experience of older workers and the pivotal contribution they make to our economic prosperity. Staying in work also helps people improve their finances and wellbeing and keeps our pension system sustainable for the future.
"All employees will soon have the right to request flexible working and we will be publishing a Framework for Action to help older workers stay in the labour market later this year."
To address the dangers to our economy of the ageing population, NIACE is calling for:
All adults to be entitled to career reviews in mid-life and support at other key transitions like redundancy, returning from maternity or long-term sick leave and leaving care.
Policy-makers, learning providers and guidance professionals to implement a lifelong approach to career education.
Employers to support staff through career reviews to extend their working lives, offering flexible working and support for caring, pensions, finance, health and care needs.
Support and funding to be found for the implementation of reviews and later life learning from a potential range of sources, including DWP, BIS, DoH and the European Social Fund which is being managed through Local Enterprise Partnerships.
Karen Phelps, from Liverpool, had a Mid-life Career Review after being made redundant following 30 years of working in the Civil Service. She now has a new job as a Progression Worker at Connexions. She said:
"If I hadn't had the Mid-life Career Review and the help that I'd had during the session, I wouldn't have this job. I was just in complete turmoil at the time. I was very focused on getting a job and would have taken a job eventually but it might not have been on the salary that I'm on and might not have been using the skills-set that I believe that suit me. Instead I'm in a job that I'm enjoying, I'm using a skills-set that suits me, I've got autonomy in my work. Whilst I don't think there's a job for life anymore, if there was ever a chance of being out of work again, then I believe I've got the tools in place to cope with it better."
David Hughes ended:
"There has been huge demand and enthusiasm from people in many different circumstances for the Mid-life Career Review throughout the Pilot Programme. The Reviews have supported people in 'mid-life' to think through their options and have helped change behaviours and attitudes to the concept of extended working lives amongst individuals and employers. Providing the right support at the right time, will lead to people having longer and more fulfilling working lives, better health and more prosperous retirements – resulting in a much more resilient economy and better society."

Charles Noel van Sandwyk (born 1966) is a Canadian artist, illustrator and writer.

Background

Born in South Africa, van Sandwyk was exposed to art from an early age, as his father was a graphic designer. At age 12, he emigrated to Canada where his family settled in Deep Cove, North Vancouver, British Columbia. While a high school student he earned income by performing for children as a magician and unicyclist. His artistic ability began while still in elementary school, where he was an exceptional calligrapher, a talent he still uses in his illustrations. He experimented with copper plate etchings as a teen, and developed his unique style. He studied commercial art at Capilano College. At age 19, he travelled to Fiji and developed a deep connection with the South Pacific. For a number of years, he spent several months annually on the tiny island of Tavewa, five hours by boat from Fiji's main island of Viti Levu.

Some of van Sandwyk's paintings hang in the National Library of Canada, as well as in several important private collections. He is the writer and illustrator of several books including The Parade to Paradise, How to See Fairies, and Sketches from the Dream Island of Birds. He has provided illustrations for Folio Society editions of The Blue Fairy Book and The Wind in the Willows, and a Limited Centenary Edition of Wind In The Willows. His book, How to See Fairies, received its own Folio Society edition in 2018.

Please sign this petition to support us, the UK's Romany Gypsy and Traveller people, in bringing down a new law which seeks to meddle with who we are and deny us and our children a home.
The new law, brought in by this government effectively resurrects, highlights and adapts 'gypsy status, a centuries old planning definition that was rarely used and that has fallen foul of legal challenges in the past.
This has been done by the government to allow councils to artificially reduce the number of Gypsies and Travellers in their area at the stroke of a bureaucrat's pen.
There is no cultural or ethnic dimension to 'gypsy status'. Similar to the common racist refrain more often found on online comment threads about us – according to this government, if we don't 'travel' then we can't possibly be Gypsies and Travellers. Already councils are sending out researchers who are trying to get us to fill in forms with detailed and intrusive questions about our 'travelling' habits.
If we don't have 'gypsy status' we may no longer develop and build a Gypsy and Traveller site and we may even lose our place on an existing public or private legal Traveller site.
be happening in a climate where 'travelling' has already been effectively criminalised. This will drive an exponential increase in unauthorized roadside camps and could create tensions and hostility between settled and nomadic groups.
us and deny us a righ1ul and legitimate place in this society.
So if you are a Gypsy or Traveller please sign this to help safeguard our future.
If you are a non-Gypsy or Traveller please sign this to help us safeguard our future and to bring down this racist law that belongs to a darker past.
We have had enough of the racism against us that comes right from the top.
Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers have ethnic status, yet we are marginalised and have to constantly fight to maintain our cultural way of life.
There is an dire shortage of appropriate accommodation for Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller families, and this is going to made even worse with the passing of the new law.
Our ethnicity is being challenged unless we can prove we are Romany Gypsies or Irish Travellers, to do this we have to prove we travel for work purposes, yet at the same time when we do travel we have no places where we can stop.
We are in an impossible situation that threatens our very existence.
Please support us to protect and maintain our cultural and tradition way of life.
Just another step for authority to start charging air. The capitalist model does not include people having the ability to live on the earth for free. Every inch is legislated for the benefit of the few who seek a profit over people.

Sam Elliott honoured at Hollywood ceremony as Lady Gaga lends support
LOS ANGELES — Veteran actor Sam Elliott imprinted his hands and feet in cement on Hollywood Boulevard on Monday, as A Star is Born co-stars Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper shook off Golden Globes disappointment to join in honoring the 74-year-old's long career.
Actor Sam Elliott reflected on his life's work and the joy of acting at his Hands and Footprints ceremony in Hollywood Actor Sam Elliott reflected on his life's work and the joy of acting at his Hands and Footprints ceremony in Hollywood. — AFP Photo
Known for his lanky physique, thick mustache and languid drawl, Elliott reflected on his life's work and the joy of acting, telling reporters: "The people you work with, the community... and feeling like you're doing something that makes a difference to somebody" made it all worthwhile.
A Star is Born may have struck out at the Golden Globes the night before, picking up just one trophy for best song, but Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were all smiles as they came to show their support for Elliott, who plays Cooper's elder brother in the film.
Dressed in a striking sky-blue trench coat, Gaga, 32, shared an Instagram story as she received a kiss on her forehead from Elliott.
"So excited to be here for Sam Elliott's hand & footprint ceremony," she wrote, adding a series of heart emojis.
The trio later shared a heart-warming embrace, as Cooper hailed the "iconic mark" Elliott had on films.
Elliott got his start with minor roles in late 60s Westerns such as The Way West (1967) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but it wasn't until the 1980s that his career took off in a big way in the Mask and Road House.
He received the first of his two Golden Globe nomination for TV film Conagher, where he played the titular role and starred alongside his wife Katharine Ross.
Elliott also has two primetime Emmy nominations, with other notable works, including Gettysburg and The Big Lebowski, and is a regular on current Netflix series The Ranch.
While he wasn't nominated at the Golden Globes, industry magazine Variety reported the actor seems poised to land his first Oscar nomination for what it called his "tender performance" in A Star is Born. — AFP

ADEX Singapore 2019: Sustainable Diving – A Dialogue Panel Discussion
The Sustainable Diving Dialogue gathers a panel of diving industry experts to discuss how to combat marine pollution and the current and future direction of sustainable marine tourism across the entire Asia Pacific region.
POSTED IN Articles, Event, News
The oceans regulate our climate, absorbs carbon dioxide and is the main source of protein for more than a billion people on Earth. Asia is home to incredible green bio-diversity but all across the entire Asia Pacific, there are lots of threats to marine life such as bomb fishing, plastic and waste pollution. With the growth of marine tourism and the increasing consumption of seafood all across the world, the fishing industry and marine tourism industry both depend heavily on healthy marine eco-systems.
Organized by Asian Geographic Magazines in cooperation with Reef World Foundation (Green Fins), the Sustainable Diving Dialogue is an unprecedented panel discussion moderated by Ms Natalie Harms from United Nations Environment that saw some of the most influential people in the global diving industry gathered together to discuss how to combat marine pollution and the current and future direction of sustainable marine tourism across the entire Asia Pacific region. Held on April 13 2019, 10 a.m at ADEX Singapore 2019, the panelists shared the problems and solutions they encountered from implementing sustainable solutions while valuable insights and help were offered by sustainable manufacturers to the other panelists in the forum.
The Sustainable Diving Dialogue at ADEX Singapore 2019 provided audiences with a wide-ranging look at sustainability all across Asia
Co-moderated by Ms Chloe Harvey from the Reef World Foundation (Green Fins), the panel consisted of Ms Rosie Cotton (Owner and General Manager of Tioman Dive Centre), Mik Jennings (Commercial Manager of Blue O Two / Worldwide Dive and Sail), Cassian Bellino, (Sustainability Management Trainee from Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas), Adam Broadbent (CEO of Zublu), Jim Standing (Director of Fourth Element), Paul Tanner (Territory Director, PADI Asia Pacific) and John Thet (Publisher of Asian Geographic Magazines).
The Challenges of Sustainability
According to Natalie, the UN is working with governments to improve ocean governance by starting regional marine programmes to reduce plastic pollution.
One of the main challenges addressed in the discussion was the practical implementation of sustainable solutions.
Case Study: Tioman Dive Centre
Awarded the Green Fins Award for having the lowest environmental impact overall, the Tioman Dive Centre had put in place a series of small changes recommended by Green Fins that put them on their way towards sustainability. Rosie Cotton, owner and General Manager of Tioman Diver Centre, was grateful to Green Fins for the considered actions recommended to them which promoted change without disrupting her business. By transmitting the correct sustainability mindsets and behaviour to her staff, the Tioman Dive Centre staff were in turn able to pass on this wisdom to customers. Being consistent was key to effective change.
Rosie Cotton from Tioman Dive Centre speaking about sustainability
Case Study: Blue O Two/Worldwide Dive and Sail
Having been working on the greening of liveaboards for Blue O Two/Worldwide Dive and Sail as its Commercial Manager, Mik Jennings addressed the greatest threat to the environment – humans. With our footprint on the environment increasing proportionately with our numbers, marine protected areas (MPAs) are essential. Although a lot of governments have MPAs, the strict policing of these MPAs is key to the proper protection of the marine life in these areas.
Mik also shared that while one little company can do very little by itself, trying to get strength in numbers is also a challenge. One of the biggest roadblocks to being sustainable is obtaining the eco-friendly products. With a footprint of 15 resorts all over the world, Mik shared his difficult experience of obtaining sustainable products for all of Blue O Two's resorts. As distributing products from a central source to all 15 resorts would lead to a bigger carbon footprint, the only option left to him was to source items in all 15 locations separately from local sources.
With audiences encouraged to join in the dialogue, Bruce Dudley, Senior Vice President of Globe Series, ADEX Singapore's partner in the Ocean Partnership Summit in Singapore next year, posed a question to the panelists about whether any of the panelists had seen tangible rewards from being sustainable.
"We find it very mixed," replied Mik to the question. He pointed out that while some chose holidays based on which holiday resort is sustainable, some people just don't care. When Blue O Two put an announcement on its facebook about not throwing plastic bottles into the Red Sea, they received backlash about the move. But if they did not do this, they would lose money in the end.
Case Study: Zublu
In response to Bruce Dudley's question, Adam Broadbent from Zublu replied that it was indeed hard to reward companies for being green as being sustainable is a process that is hard to scale up. Although it might just be a marketing benefit for now, Adam is of the opinion that "eventually it will become the status quo and you'll get left behind if you don't do the same".
In response to Natalie about the demand and growth of sustainable dive tourism, Adam revealed that on the Zublu platform, they try to showcase sustainable liveaboards and dive resorts. Being "in the inspiring stage and discovery stage, Zublu plays an important role in showing consumers what is available".
"People are making choices based on sustainability. Price still trumps for now but there are some very exciting places in trek in Borneo," added Adam.
Zublu is seeing demand from customers who want to get involved in conservation work while they are travelling.
"In terms of pre-travel – for us, sustainable travel starts from home. That's where you have the biggest impact. By choosing a Green Fins member, you make sure you have a smaller carbon footprint," Adam added.
Adam also shared what Zublu would like to do: which is to try to encourage more of their guests to be activists when they are at the destination and rewarding them for that so that they will book through Zublu again. Adam added that "rewarding people is the best way to engage people to do conservation work".
Case study: Fourth Element
In response to the need for manufacturers and marine tourism business to be sustainable and green, Fourth Element founder, Jim Standing said, "Frankly we have to do it. If we don't, the future is incredibly stark. We've accepted the higher cost and some of the kickback of making our product more expensive. If we don't do this, the legs of the stool will fall off until you're standing on the floor. We have to do this until consumers have no choice but to be green."
In response to a question from Natalie about whether he felt sustainable dive tourism has an edge already, Jim answered affirmatively.
"There is a competitive advantage for sustainable businesses. We should be making something from our waste – ocean positive swimwear line, leggings from sustainable materials. Once you look into the rabbit hole, you can't come back out."
Jim added that committing to building sustainable products "fundamentally changed the DNA of Fourth Element to one where we make the product that is better for the ocean". For Fourth Element, they've embarked on a journey where they will eliminate single use plastic by the year 2020. More of Fourth Element's product line will be built with recycled material.
"We're just a tiny company," added Jim. "This is going to become important to everybody. We decided to make mission 2020 an aim. We want to make the whole industry committed to this. As a community, we can present our own pledges like a 70% reduction of plastic. Individual dive centers all over the world, we can all make changes . That can inform divers all around the world to follow and make changes – that will make a change that is positive for the ocean. I would encourage everybody to please join Mission 2020. There are phenomenal resorts out there who are doing great things. There are many conservation models that reward the poor villages to make enough money for their families."
When asked about what support was needed, Jim laughingly added, "Just vote with your wallet and buy our stuff." As a parting note, Jim reiterated his promise to share where his company sources their sustainable raw materials. He revealed that his company working with other manufacturers who want to find out where Fourth Element sources their sustainable raw materials.
He added that not only is there no sacrifice of performance for sustainability, the products they are making now, a lot of them perform better than non-sustainable versions.
Case Study: PADI (Asia Pacific)
Responding to a question from the public about the path forward when only one resort out of a handful in an area are sustainable, Paul Tanner from PADI was truthful.
"I don't think there's answer for it. It depends on what level the company is on the ladder to becoming sustainable. The dive centres here are the ones who are keen, the ones who are successful. Those dive centres who are not investing in this will die out. They'll either destroy the community they're in and they won't have business or the other liveaboards who are green are going to take their business," said Paul.
"The most successful ones, the ones who are charging more are the ones who are sustainable. It's very difficult to do on a large scale, it always comes down to the community level. Guinea islands – they're limited to two boats per expedition on one dive site. It all comes down to the local level."
Paul further emphasised the importance of education, community and comunication to driving the movement. "From three to four years ago, we implemented a sea change in how we approach our teaching," said Paul. "We are putting out materials and encouraging divers to drive sustainability and combat climate change. We are collecting as much data as we can. We are talking to manufacturers about BCDs that can tell us what kinds of environment we're diving in. We're using our reach – 5 million reach on social media – trying to push our message through our network. You'll see a lot more change through this in two or three years."
Asian Geographic Magazines Publisher, John Thet explaining the need for balanced reporting and green companies
ADEX: The Road Ahead
Natalie also asked John Thet, CEO of ADEX Singapore about how he sees ADEX supporting issues on sustainability.
"I think we are not doing enough," replied John. "That's why next year we are repeating our theme. We used to change our theme every year but it's not enough time to finish everything so we are repeating our theme next year. We want to give back to the ocean. There are many ways to do this. Plastic is a problem that's hard to resolve. People only recycle 9% of their plastic. Making new plastic is cheaper than recycling an old one. Business wise it's a tough choice to turn down. That's why next year , we are talking about policy on a government to government basis. We need to talk to governments to ban plastic. We have to start with our own mission. We have to start with ourselves first. We have to stop using plastic so that the problem will be reduced. I don't believe it's only for us. It's for the young generation. We should really promote the young generation to promote more voices from the young. That is what we need. We want to do more. Next year, we want to have combined announcements about companies announcing their bans and pledges for sustainability."
"Yesterday, we saved the usage of thousands of plastic bottles by not using them. Like Paul said, if there's more divers, there will be more ocean lovers. But we have to educate divers, or else more divers will lead to more damage to the environment. Content is very important for us to educate others."

TikToker describes excruciating contractions after she got an IUD inserted that a nurse dismissed as normal
Lindsay Dodgson
A woman said her body went into labor when she had an IUD fitted.

A woman on TikTok shared a story of getting her IUD fitted.
She said the contraceptive device was placed on a nerve which sent her body into labor.
Doctors told Insider it may have just been intense cramping, which is a known side effect.
In a recent TikTok, a creator named Holly Smallwood told the story of when she went to get an IUD fitted — intense pain that she said was comparable to giving birth.
In the video, which has been viewed 1.1 millions times, Smallwood explains how she was told by her doctor that she "went into labor" with the IUD and was essentially experiencing contractions.
According to gynecologists and sexual-health experts, while fitting an IUD can be uncomfortable, it should not be severely painful. Experts told Insider that severe cramping of the uterus is a possible outcome of the procedure.
Smallwood's video was part of a trend of women on TikTok talking about their sometimes-traumatic experiences when getting IUDs inserted.
Smallwood said the nurse told her she could experience some cramping but that it would ease after about 10 minutes. However, the pain got so bad, Smallwood said she started vomiting and passed out. That's when "all hell broke loose," she said, and her arms and legs went numb.
"Then I start to feel something that I've only ever heard explained in movies," she said. "I don't even know how I knew what it was, but I knew that I was having contractions."
Finally, a doctor came in and inspected Smallwood, she said and decided to remove the IUD immediately.
"So she does an emergency extraction," Smallwood said. "It had gotten placed on a nerve."
Smallwood's video was shared by doctor and TikToker Dr. Kunal Sood, who has 1.7 million followers. He said the story highlighted how it's "important to take women's pain seriously."

Extreme cramping is caused by uterine contractions and is a known side effect
IUDs come in two types: hormonal, which release chemicals into the body to prevent pregnancy, and copper, which makes the womb an inhospitable environment for a fetus.
Dr. Yaa Oheema, a physician based in London, told Insider it's unlikely that someone's body would literally go into labor from hitting a nerve, because the type of nerves in the uterus "wouldn't cause symptoms like that." But there is no way to know for sure.
Intense cramping can be a side effect of getting an IUD fitted. It's hard to predict who this will happen to, she said.
"All women are made in different shapes and sizes and so therefore your uterus will be made in different shapes and sizes too," she said. "The complications or cramping that woman [in the TikTok] was experiencing isn't very common."
People have different pain thresholds when they get an IUD fitted, and doctors have different levels of experience and knowledge. Health issues such as uterine polyps, fibroids, and endometriosis can also increase the level of pain someone will feel. So there's no way to tell for sure how your body will react.
"Sometimes there are user errors, so maybe a doctor may mis-measure the depth or the width of the uterus and then insert a device that's the wrong size," Dr Oheema added. "So all those things could lead to cramping, which is probably what the woman experienced."
Dr Janet Barter, another expert, told Insider that uterine contractions are what cause discomfort after an IUD is fitted. Barter is the the president of the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare at Britain's Royal College of the Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
She said there is some evidence taking painkillers before the procedure can help, and that further research is underway.
Both doctors and patients can learn from people's experiences on social media
Contraception is a hot-button issue on the internet, with people who take hormonal birth control or have devices fitted increasingly speaking up about side effects and medical procedures.
Oheema said she thinks this is helpful for both patients and doctors. Seeing people share what happened to them helps doctors have more of a "personal touch," she said.
"Unless I have an IUD myself, I wouldn't know how severe the bleeding is or how severe the initial cramping is," she said. "If I'm scrolling on TikTok or if I'm on Facebook and I see a video like this, it allows me to become more empathetic because I'm seeing what women could potentially go through."

Q: Android Copy and Rename from anywhere Trying to use the following code to copy a file from one directory to another and rename
String Path3= "/storage/extSDCard/DCIM/Camera/fred.jpg";
                File to = new     File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "Barr.jpg");
                File oldFile = new File (Path3);
                oldFile.renameTo(to);

It doesn't appear to copy the file. in this case the path Path3 is on the SDCard but I also need it to copy from one directory to another on the device as well
Basically I'm using the gallery picker to pick an image from somewhere I convert the uri to a path I then need to copy the file from where it is stored to the pictures directory and rename it

Administration Proposes New Withholding Requirements for 409A Failures
By S. Michael Chittenden on April 11, 2022
Posted in Employment Taxes, Legislation, Tax Policy
Last week, the Treasury Department released the "Green Book," formally known as the General Explanations of the Administration's Revenue Proposals. Among its proposals, the Green Book includes a new proposal that could signal stepped-up enforcement of section 409A, as well as a new tool for the IRS. Section 409A, adopted almost two decades ago, represented a significant shift in the tax treatment of non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Prior to its adoption, these plans often relied on traditional concepts of constructive receipt to determine when it was required that a plan participant recognize income. Section 409A overlaid those principles with significant new rules regarding the time that an election to defer compensation must be made, as well as limitations on the time and form of payment of deferred compensation.

Treasury Stakes Out a Position on "On-Demand Pay" Arrangements
By S. Michael Chittenden & Marianna G. Dyson on April 6, 2022
Last week, the Treasury Department released the "Green Book," formally known as the General Explanations of the Administration's Revenue Proposals. Among its proposals, the Green Book addresses the treatment of on-demand pay arrangements. These arrangements, which have recently grown in popularity, permit employees to access a portion of their earned wages in advance of the employee's normal pay date. For this reason, they are often referred to as "earned wage access programs."
One of the potential tax concerns with these arrangements has been that, depending upon the program design, the employee could be considered to be in "constructive receipt" of their earned wages. This creates payroll withholding and depositing obligations for employers regardless of whether the employee actually receives a wage payment. In addition, the program can cause uncertainty regarding how to properly calculate the required FICA tax and income tax withholdings when the employee elects to receive a payment of earned wages. For this reason, some third-parties designing the programs (which are often app-based) have sought either to structure the programs as loans or to avoid the constructive receipt issue by requiring the payment of a small fee when the earned wages are paid.

A Proposed Global Minimum Corporate Income Tax Rate
By Ed McClellan & Thomas Reilly on June 10, 2021
Posted in Tax Policy
[This is a guest post by Ed McClellan and Thomas Reilly that was originally published on June 2, 2021, in Covington's Global Policy Watch Blog.]
In mid-May, the Biden Administration officially threw its support behind a minimum global corporate income tax rate of at least 15%. The U.S. proposal would be limited to the world's 100 largest companies – those with revenues of over $20 billion. The proposal would not depend on the company's nationality (the U.S. has made clear that it would not support any proposals that discriminate against U.S. multinationals) and, since it would apply to digital services companies as well as to those selling tangible goods, would not be specific to any one sector.
