Anganwadi workers, helpers continue protests against SAC decision
Srinagar : The Anganwadi workers and helpers working under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme continued their protests against the State Administrative Council's (SAC) decision to disburse their honorariums through Gram Panchayats. Hundreds of workers under the banner of Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union Jammu and Kashmir affiliated with CITU raising slogans against the SAC decision demanded its immediate roll-back. They said disbursing honorarium through Gram Panchayats can pave way for corruption and harassment of the workers and helpers. "We not only demand roll back of this arbitrary decision but also making the ICDS permanent and increase in budgetary allocation for the ICDS. The government must also pay minimum wages, social security and pension to us as recommended by 45th ILC," the protesting workers demanded as per KNO correspondent. They said that they will fight against the government move to privatize the ICDS in any form and involvement of corporate companies or NGOs in the ICDS. "We also demand strengthening of ICDS, converting anganwadis into anganwadi-cum-crèches, increase in allocation for nutrition and strengthening and retaining the pre-school education in ICDS," the workers demanded. The protesters said the supervision of Anganwari centers are done by the ICDS department and they don't object the Coordination with Panchayati Raj Institutions in running the Anganwari centers. "But the panchayats must provide resources to the Anganwari centre like it is being done in Kerala, where they provide additional food, milk, eggs toys, uniforms etc for children. But here, instead of following that model, only monitoring part has been given to panchayats. The salary to the Anganwari staff will be released only after the certification of the panchayats which can lead to corruption and harassment of the workers and helpers. This was tried in many states and the decision was taken back there after it failed," they said. The protesting workers said, "If the panchayats have to monitor why don't they monitor all services and link the salary of all government employees to panchayat certification? We have been handed over to Panchs and Sarpanchs which is unacceptable to us. We are working with the ICDS for the last 40- years with honor and dignity. We want our department to take care of our salaries. The decision was aimed to humiliate us." "We have worked for the State, but it is unfortunate that we are being neglected by the government now." The protest rally was addressed by Haneefa, Lateefa, Misra, Mubeena, Hajira,Zona, Haleema, Daisy and Meema , Aganwadi leaders.

South African actress Charlize Theron worked her way up through Hollywood from humble beginnings, appearing in That Thing You Do! in 1996 before going on to snag an Oscar for her role in 2003's Monster, and then starring in last year's Oscar-dominating Mad Max: Fury Road.
But beautiful actresses often have it the hardest in Hollywood, the 40-year-old star told British GQ for their May cover issue.
"Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that's the end of the story," Theron told the magazine.
As the New York Daily News notes, Theron isn't the only actress who has said it can be tough to land a role due to being "too beautiful." Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson have all complained at various times about their beauty getting in the way of securing film roles.
In her interview with GQ, Theron also weighed in on what she called society's "unrealistic" beauty standards for women, while men, she said, age more gracefully.
Theron isn't letting her beauty get in the way of her career: she can be seen starring in The Huntsman: Winter's War opposite Chris Hemsworth and Emily Blunt, and in the Sean Penn-directed The Last Face later this year. She's also rumored to have a role in Fast 8, the latest entry in the Fast and Furious franchise, tentatively due out next year.

Pilgrimages span decades
By Jennifer Burke/Catholic Courier | 03.05.2005
Section: Features
For many people pilgrimages are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but for Margaret Colasurdo, they're a way of life.
Colasurdo, a member of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Clyde, is preparing for her 56th pilgrimage to three Canadian religious sites. Colasurdo doesn't just participate in these pilgrimages, however; she plans them from start to finish, making bus and hotel reservations and recruiting fellow travelers.
In the 1940s Colasurdo's fellow parishioners traveled to the Canadian shrines by car or train each year, but this made for a long and tiring trip. In 1950, Father Joseph Curtain, who was then pastor of St. John's, asked Colasurdo if she would arrange a pilgrimage to the shrines by bus. Colasurdo had never even been to the shrines before and was unsure about arranging the trip, but she agreed, and a legacy was born.
"The first year it was lousy. We didn't have places to sleep. The women slept in convents and the men slept on the hillsides in blankets," recalled Colasurdo, 88. Pilgrims now sleep in hotels, and Catholics from Rochester and Geneva join St. John's parishioners on the trip, she noted. "Every year we noticed the differences. There have been a lot of changes. Even the people that go with me have changed."
After 56 years Colasurdo is familiar with the areas around the three shrines, sometimes sitting in the front of the bus and telling the bus driver where to turn. It wasn't always like that, however.
"When I started the first year I didn't know anything. We had to go by ear or go by maps. Once I got started for the first two years, then I knew the ropes," Colasurdo said.
Over the years Colasurdo developed friendships with some of the Trailways bus drivers. One driver's wife even scheduled her vacation from work so she could make the pilgrimage each year with her husband, who drove Colasurdo's group for 15 years.
It was concern for the bus drivers that originally led Colasurdo to plan the order in which the group visits the shrines. The group always travels to Cap de la Madeleine and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Cape first, spending two days there before heading to the Basilica of St. Anne de Beaupre in Quebec for two more days. After leaving Quebec, the group heads back to Cap de la Madeleine before going to St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal.
This route gives the bus drivers the most rest, she said. If you try to visit the shrines in a different order, "you're pushing the bus driver. The bus driver can't be on the road for more than 15 hours. That's why we break it so we're going to be back to the Cape," Colasurdo said.
Colasurdo also heads up another annual pilgrimage, but she doesn't have to travel anywhere for this one. The destination is Colasurdo's back yard, where her late husband, Joseph, built a shrine around a 36-inch statue of Mary with St. Anne when the family moved into the house 50 years ago.
Each July 17-26, Colasurdo leads a novena to St. Anne by her shrine. On the last day of the novena, the pastor from St. John's says Mass at the shrine. The Mass is usually attended by between 60 and 140 people and has almost always been blessed with good weather, Colasurdo said.
"This year I'll be celebrating my 50 years here. Of all the 50 years, I've only had to have the Mass in church three times," she said, recalling one year when a downpour threatened the Mass. "We had the Mass outdoors, and we kept looking at the clouds. Right after the Mass, it poured."
Father Jim Hewes, pastor of St. John's and St. Patrick's Parish in Savannah, has been the presider at the novena's culminating Mass for the past few years. Colasurdo is a very loyal person who is faithful to her family, friends, community and religious beliefs, he said.
"She's a very compassionate person. If there's somebody in need, she will go out of her way" to help, Father Hewes said.
Colasurdo is an active volunteer in her parish and community. She belongs to the Catholic Daughters of the Americas and has run her parish's food cupboard since 1974, recently providing Christmas baskets to 67 needy families in the area. She also helps the parish put on ziti dinners, is a member of the Clyde Fire Department's Ladies Auxiliary and serves meals to senior citizens with the Wayne County Department of Aging and Youth.
"It's amazing what she does," Father Hewes said. "She doesn't like the limelight. She kind of likes to be working behind the scenes. She's a pretty unassuming person."
When asked why she's so involved in her parish and community, Colasurdo simply replied, "I've belonged to the parish for 88 years. I was brought up here, brought up a Catholic."
She also brought up her three sons Catholic, and when she's not volunteering or organizing pilgrimages, her eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren keep her busy, she added.

Evening and weekend general practice appointments available across England
All patients across England can now access general practice appointments in the evening and weekends, NHS England has announced today.
The extended access means that patients will be able to see a doctor, nurse or other member of the practice team at a time convenient to them – providing an estimated nine million extra appointments per year.
The weekend and evening service is available across the country more than three months ahead of schedule and will help ease pressures on the NHS as temperatures drop.
NHS England has started a communications campaign for the run up to Christmas to ensure patients are aware of the evening and weekend appointments.
Dominic Hardy, NHS England's Director of Primary Care Delivery, said:"Strengthening general practice is an important part of the NHS Long Term Plan and local health services have worked hard to ensure patients have access to our excellent general practice services right across the country. Because of this hard work, we have been able to make these extra appointments available months ahead of schedule and before winter really starts.
"As well as offering convenience and choice to patients, it will help to reduce some of the pressure on general practice and A&Es and ease some of the wider system pressures we saw last winter."
On top of the extended access services, strengthening general practice and primary care is a key part of the forthcoming NHS Long Term Plan and at least £3.5 billion more in real terms will be invested in primary medical and community services, which will also improve access to weekday 'in hours' services.
Recent figures show there are now 5,321 more primary health professionals working in primary care than three years ago.
That exceeds NHS England's target of an additional 5,000 by 2020 set out in the General Practice Forward View.
Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of GPs, said:"GPs across the country are going above and beyond to ensure we can deliver good, safe care for our patients under intense resource and workforce pressures.
"All practices in England now offer some form of extended access to routine GP services, and they will have tailored these to the needs of their local population.
"We are preparing for a very busy winter in general practice. Our patients should always be able to access GP services if they become ill, either through our routine service, or the GP out of hours service – but we would also encourage patients to think about whether they really need to see a GP, or whether self-care or visiting a pharmacist are options in the first instance."
Extended appointments will either be available through designated local NHS services and in some cases a patient's own GP practice.
The service is being publicised through national press and broadcast to ensure patients are aware of the extra appointments.
It has proved popular in areas where the evening and weekend appointments were first trialled. In Herefordshire, for example, more than nine in ten appointments were used by patients in August.
In London, where these services have been in place for 18 months, almost three quarters of appointments are taken up.
Evening and weekend appointments will be offered in addition to other services such as out of hours GPs and NHS 111 that offer access to clinicians at any time day or night.

SunPower Archives - Page 3 of 5 - Solar Love!
One of the largest solar PV companies in the world, SunPower, is going to be undergoing a restructuring process that will see 85–115 jobs cut, mostly in the company's European operations, according to recent reports.
The process will cost $15 million to $25 million — which will be accounted for in the fourth quarter financials.
As per the company's SEC filing, the restructuring process is being pursued as a means of potentially improving the company's overall operational efficiency and cost structuring. It's currently expected that the process will be complete by the end of fiscal year 2015.
Taken as a percentage of the company's total worldwide employee numbers, the job cuts account for roughly 1–2% of said numbers. It's not currently clear what divisions these cuts will be made in.
The company possesses a module assembly plant in France — which was formerly a Tenesol facility. Owing to the fact that another facility in South Africa, also formerly owned by Tenesol, was closed last year, some ideas do come to mind. Nothing is clear yet, though, so there are other possibilities there.
In related news, SunPower also recently announced the creation of a new 160 MW solar PV module manufacturing facility in Cape Town, South Africa — developed for the purposes of manufacturing the company's high-efficiency E20/440 panels.
Something also worth noting: with SunPower's recent purchase of the new solar startup SolarBridge, the upcoming restructuring may be something a necessity.
"Since 2012, La Compagnie du Vent has been a valued SunPower partner, and we are pleased to assist them in delivering an additional 41 megawatts of emission-free solar power for homes and businesses in France.Today more than 1,500 megawatts of solar plants around the world are powered using our technology. With high-performance SunPower solar panels, power plant developers may maximize power production and generate reliable returns on investment for 25 years or more," explained SunPower Executive Vice President Jorg Heinemann.
would provide electricity to about 4,000 people, so the grand total for the 41 megawatts would be about 33,100 people.
The total number of people potentially impacted is worth mentioning because 41 MW might not sound too significant, until one considers the number of people that are likely to receive electricity. All four of the new solar plants will likely be completed by 2015 and should also be running by then. Solar power plants can be constructed quickly – especially compared with coal and nuclear power plants. France is ranked in the top 10 nations in the world for solar power capacity, but is far behind world leader Germany.
Then there is the fact that using solar power will reduce climate change emissions. One 12 MW solar system will probably offset about 14,000 tons of C02. Most of France's electricity is generated by nuclear power, so they aren't burning enormous amounts of coal every day, like some countries. However, some of its nuclear power plants are aging and there is a concern over potential safety issues.
One great thing about solar power is that there are zero safety concerns. It can't blow up and send radioactive material into the air, or water. It doesn't release toxic air pollution anywhere, because it doesn't generate any.

Cong Hoa Xa Hoi Chu Nghia Viet Nam
PLACE AND SIZE.
Vietnam is bordered in the north by Asia and the west by Laos and Cambodia. Towards the east could be the Southern China Sea (labeled as "Eastern Sea" because of the Vietnamese). The united states's shape and size is often in comparison to a bamboo pole with lots by the end (north and south). When you look at the central the main nation Vietnam is just 40 kilometers (25 kilometers) across. The sum total land area of Vietnam is 329, 569 square kilometers (127, 247 square miles), rendering it slightly bigger than brand new Mexico. It offers a lengthy coastline of 3, 444 kilometers (2, 140 kilometers). Its 2 significant towns and cities would be the capital Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) inside south. Other major towns and cities are the old capital of Hue in central Vietnam, the coastal cities of Danang and Haiphong, and Dalat inside central highlands.
Vietnam, with regards to population, is the second biggest country in Southeast Asia after Indonesia. Its present populace was believed become 79, 939, 014 in July 2001, making it the 13th biggest country on earth. This compares with a population of 52, 741, 766 in 1979, 64, 411, 713 in 1989, and 75, 355, 200 in 1996. This has one of several greater populace densities worldwide, at 242.6 individuals per square kilometer (628 per square mile). Vietnam features a little not as much as one-third associated with populace of the US in a location which only 3.5 percent as huge.
The current populace growth rate is projected to be 1.45 % (2001). If this growth rate were to continue in to the future, the Vietnamese populace would increase to around 160 million because of the year 2051. The Vietnamese girl normally at this time features 2.49 young ones. In recent years, Vietnam has had substantial success in reducing both its population growth rate and virility rate. Vietnam has a relatively younger population with 32 percent associated with the populace under 15.
The population of Vietnam features significant diversity, with 54 cultural nationalities. However, 85 to 90 percent regarding the populace tend to be Vietnamese. The next biggest ethnic team is Sino-Vietnamese, focused inside Ho Chi Minh City area. Being among the most many of various other cultural nationalities are the Tay-Thai Group (1, 200, 000), Khmer (1, 000, 000), Hmong (558, 000), in addition to Cham (99, 000).
FISHING.
Featuring its long shoreline, Vietnam has actually a working fishing sector. Almost all of its catch is marine fish (94 percent). Lots of Vietnam's marine items are becoming shipped to countries including Japan, and marine services and products today represent 9.2 percent of Vietnam's complete exports (when it comes to value).
FORESTRY.
Deforestation continues to be a major problem in Vietnam. In 1943, 44 per cent of Vietnam ended up being forests. By 1995, the woodland area of Vietnam had declined to 23 %. Throughout the U.S. war in Vietnam, 5 % regarding the woodland had been destroyed, and 50 % had been damaged. Deforestation has also been caused by out of control logging, agricultural development due to population development, slash-and-burn agriculture, and the utilization of woodland lumber for firewood. To reverse this pattern of deforestation, the federal government has introduced 18 woodland agriculture projects and a system of designated national parks.
The 1990s saw the emergence of Vietnam as a significant player in 5 crucial production areas: fabrics, footwear and clothes, agro-processing, electric and electronic industries, and car and motorcycle construction. Like, Nike is now sourcing significant creation of both footwear and apparel in Vietnam, and also this has actually caused controversy linked to alleged sweatshop conditions. On the improved road from Hanoi to Haiphong, there clearly was a Ford Motor Assembly plant; 45 the latest models of of vehicles are increasingly being put together in Vietnam. On the list of companies buying car system manufacturing, as well as Ford, are Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Isuzu, Daihatsu, Suzuki, and lots of Korean auto businesses. You will find an overall total of 14 combined endeavors in emerging Vietnamese vehicle business. In Vietnam, there's a huge domestic market for motorbikes, the main mode of transportation for Vietnamese residing cities. Twenty % of the huge need is now being fulfilled because of the local installation. Vietnam's electronics set up manufacturing industry also expanded rapidly inside 1990s. On the list of significant worldwide investors were Daewoo, Hitachi, and Phillips. The system of television sets almost tripled to an even of 364, 000 in 1998.
Metal and concrete production were additionally offered high-priority, primarily as a technique for reducing or getting rid of steel and cement imports. Another important new manufacturing area is plastic materials. Offered its impressive gas and oil sources, this might be a natural business for Vietnam to build up.
ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
With Vietnam's quick industrialization and urbanization, there is a dramatic upsurge in power requirements. To respond to this need and to stay away from regular energy shortages, Vietnam features finished several hydroelectric power jobs to come up with increased electrical energy. One of the new power channels and flowers tend to be Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Da Nhim, Tri a, Hoa Binh, YALY, and Thamco. Many of these are in the south, to provide the growing production industry inside Ho Chi Minh/Saigon location. The purpose of the us government is to achieve a generating ability of 33 billion kWh by 2002. The federal government also has a goal of providing electricity to 80 percent of outlying families by the year 2005.
MINING.
Mineral resources had been a significant factor attracting the French to Vietnam. Vietnam features commercially viable reserves of coal, iron ore, bauxite, chromite, copper, titanium, zinc, gold, apatite, and gemstones. But besides coal many are underexploited. In 1996, Vietnamese coal exports had been really worth US$115 million. Vietnam additionally mines unrefined sodium and phosphate stone.
OIL AND GAS.
Vietnam has now become a player when you look at the worldwide petroleum business. In 1998, its petroleum exports were really worth US$2.1 billion. It's possibly huge offshore oil and natural gas deposits within the South China water (known in Vietnam as the Eastern Sea), many of which remain unexplored. Although the intercontinental legislation of Sea has actually articulated fancy rules for determining claims into natural sourced elements of the oceans, numerous disputed island groups inside Southern Asia Sea (for instance the Spratlys) have actually led to considerable conflict. Nations such as for example Vietnam, Asia, Brunei, the Philippines, and Taiwan claim rights to these vast reserves of oil and gas. Several worldwide oil companies tend to be active in Vietnam, attempting to profit from the nation's oil wide range. The Russians tend to be active within arena as well, in a joint endeavor with Vietnam, Vietsovpetro. Vietnam also plans to build oil refineries.
BUILDING.
The 1990s has seen a building growth in Vietnam in places eg infrastructure (highway and bridge building and remodelling), hotel building when it comes to promising traveler business, company and apartment structures for Vietnam's growing contemporary service sector, factory construction for the rising manufacturing industry, and improved domestic dwellings for occupancy or rent. Ho Chi Minh City today has its own impressive, modern-day brand new high-rises. Additionally visible are many renovated and/or new Buddhist pagodas and Catholic churches, especially in the south.

Jacob Zetino Shares How He Was Able to Go from the US ARMY to Award-Winning Producer
Executive Voice
Managing to stay alive for ten years when your job mostly involves exchanging bullets is not easy. Many don't make it home, and among those who do, some of them come back with major psychological issues. Others lose themselves entirely to drugs and end up in the streets begging to survive. Even so, some have served and come back hope to be even better versions of themselves. Among those heroes is Jacob Zetino, multiple award-winning CEO & Producer at Dapper Penguin Productions and a former US Army Sergeant honorably discharged after ten years of service.
Zetino is a highly decorated Army Veteran receiving the Joint Service Commendation Medal, two Army Commendation medals, and three Army Achievement medals, among others. Zetino served tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, Doha, Kuwait, and lived in Grafenwoehr, Germany, for four years. In the US, he has worked at stations like Fort Drum, New York, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Eustis, Virginia, and separating from the Army at the National Training Center – Fort Irwin, California. He served as the transportation NCOIC and protected all Colonels, Generals, Sergeant Majors, Royal Dignitaries and Celebrities who had come to visit the installation.
Leaving the Army
After his ten years of service in the military, Zetino went to study at Divers Institute of Technology, a veteran-owned and operated school in Seattle, Washington, to study commercial diving and underwater engineering. At the institute, he describes his time there as 'a blast, crazy fun.' After graduating as a commercial diver with dives of depths over 200 feet, he started inland diving working on reservoirs, dams, water treatment facilities, and water towers just out of Montana as he was waiting for acceptance into the New York Academy Conservatory for Acting.
In 2013, Zetino got accepted and joined the conservatory back in Manhattan, New York. While at the film academy, he did some commercials and became part of Veterans in Media and Entertainment, an organization for veterans who are seeking to be or in the entertainment industry. Everything from then on changed for Zetino and the entertainment world. He met an HBO director who became a mentor and helped him realize his love for producing. It is then that he decided to go to Los Angeles after leaving the conservatory.
Taking on Hollywood
Zetino graduated from New York Academy with a new mission, to conquer Hollywood. California was an adventure from when he got there. He joined the Los Angeles Film School right after leaving New York, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Producing and Filmmaking. After four years in the film school, he received his bachelor's and graduated with honors.
During his first year after graduating, Zetino featured on a short sketch comedy episode, The Working Actor's Audition. Other stars that were on the same comedy episode include; Kathleen Kinmont from Halloween 4, Renegade and Mortal Kombat, and Caleb Thomas who was in Modern Family, Lost in the West, and other Nickelodeon shows, all thanks to his good screenwriter friend Joe Wakefield. That helped Zetino build the momentum he needed in creating his future projects and award-winning films. Also, he is in the series, Preface to Being Jaded.
Conquering the entertainment world
Since his childhood growing up in the Bay Area, where filmmakers like Lucas, Spielberg, and Craven had filmed, Zetino knew that in the entertainment industry is where he was meant to be. He went on to form his own production company, Dapper Penguin Productions, in Beverly Hills.
Zetino has produced over ten films and television projects. Among the ten films, he has won multiple awards for three; Daydream, Blood Bonds, and The Devil Lives in Clarksville County. His latest project, Sins Unveiled, is in its post-production stages. Zetino also has a YouTube a series currently airing he help produce Fuzz & Malloy a really crazy cool comedy.
In a town where blockbuster films and major shows overshadowed him, the former soldier has had to overcome many challenges to get to where he is today. Even so, he says that when you love something, it does not feel like work or a burden. He learned from his challenges, and with the help from other colleagues, he has managed to overcome them. Zetino is the true definition of a hero, both on the battlefield and in the world of filmmaking.

Addicted To The Pen- A Interview with Adelle Platon
I had seen her around a few times, and since we had friends in common we would give each other that "hi, you're cool but I don't know you like that" smirk that you give people that your friends respect. Then that day came when we actually got to vibe. We were both at the Weeknd's "KissLand" listening party, and as if we were already homies we two stepped and chanted to our favorite songs. Naturally, when I like someone's energy I want to learn more about them; and so I did. I started reading her articles and I was sold when I read her Cassie VIBE Vixen Cover Story. Read FearlessLeon's exclusive interview with this pen master and follow her eventful life @Adelleplaton. When did you first fall in love with Hip-Hop?
I actually fell in love with Pop and R&B first before Hip-Hop, especially being raised in a household who considered Michael Jackson gospel. I was a late bloomer when it came to rap, probably the ripe age of 8, and my uncle (who was less than a decade older than I) had this Ludacris-sized afro. He spent his days and nights and everything in between, smoking cigs and flaunting his tats on the balcony of our crib in the Philippines, bumping 2Pac and shouting "Thug Life" any chance he got. My uncle was such a bad-ass and so invested in the culture that it's almost like he became the living example of Pac's bars. Because I looked up to him, I ended up jocking his playlists.
Who's your dream person to interview?
I would have to say Oprah, even though I already have. Spending six minutes with her at a press junket for The Butler doesn't even touch the ground of what I would do if I had an unlimited amount of time with her. I would also love a joint interview with Jay Z and Beyonce. Hey, if you're gonna dream big, go big or go to sleep.
When you were in grade school, did you ever think you were going to be a writer?
Haha, I thought I was going to be Barbie. My dream career changed with every grade from wanting to be an artist to a singer to a veterinarian to an illustrator. But a friend from elementary school recently reminded me of how in fourth grade, we would have these faux newscasts and I always wanted to be the celebrity news correspondent just so I can talk about the Spice Girls to my classmates every week. That was a clear indication that I would end up in the journalism world as an adult later on.
Who's your most fearless rapper and why?
This will sound like a bandwagon cliché but Kendrick Lamar, Kendrick Lamar and Kendrick Lamar. He isn't scared to be himself in an industry that's chock full of fakers who place the emphasis on their material possessions. He's able to paint a story that hits close to home, especially when home feels like nowhere. Kdot's a silent killer and has a work hustle that would run circles around some of these MCs but he'll never allow a blinding chain to dictate to the world how successful he is. He's comfortable in knowing he's that damn good at what he does.
Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?
Ahhhh, we're going here, aren't we? Haha. True love with a guarantee of a broken heart for sure. In every relationship I've entered, be it professional or romantic, there was no guarantee that me or my significant other would be in for the long haul or I'd see a paycheck, but I still dived in. Not knowing what's gonna happen tomorrow kind of adds to the thrill of living today. I never want to deprive myself of the opportunity of loving someone or not doing something I love, especially if I truly feel it in my chest.
What was the last interesting book that you read?
Damn Good Advice (for People With Talent!) by George Lois. The dude was THE Ad Man beforeMad Men (the show) made it a thing and is a master of communication. So many anecdotes and colorful examples of how working smart is a helluva lot better than working hard.
If you had only 4 pages to write before you left to the other world, what would you write about?
Gratitude. It's really important that I always remember to remain humble and that my success is shit if it wasn't for the people who constantly believed and supported me when I was a lowercase g. I would write a 4-page letter Aaliyah style to everyone who ever made a mark on me, especially the doubters. Haters need love too.
Are you fearless? What does that mean to you?I'm definitely no Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz but truth be told, I'm scared to let the people that matter most down. My biggest fear is actually not taking care of my family and my day-one supporters. When it comes to success, however, there is no one nor anything that can keep me from being great.
What do you feel is your spirit animal?
Beyonce/ Yonce. She's just a beast in every thing she does.
If you could choose the spirit of someone to always walk next to you, who would it be and why?
My dad. Thought it's almost been a decade since he passed, he was such a free spirit. He definitely passed down his stubbornness and enthusiasm for liver abuse down to me (sorry, ma, don't read that!) but he was also the light of any room he entered from what I could remember. I'd like to think I do the same.

Sanford's communications director resigns
Joel Sawyer says his decision has nothing to do with his boss' troubles
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/07/17/sanford_sawyer/
Alex Koppelman
As if South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford didn't have enough problems already, he's now lost the man charged with spinning all those troubles away. The governor's communications director, Joel Sawyer, has announced that he's resigning for a job in the private sector, effective Aug. 5.
In a statement, Sawyer said his decision had nothing to do with his boss' recent travails. "I want to be crystal clear that my departure is purely about what's best for me and my family on a personal and financial level," Sawyer said. "I wish Mark and the rest of my talented and dedicated colleagues the best."
At some point, though, Sawyer's resignation became inevitable -- and it certainly seems linked to Sanford's actions. Having the job of trying to defend the governor can't have been easy or stress-free recently, and beyond that, Sanford made Sawyer and his other staffers into liars, and publicly. After that, it's hard for a spokesman to maintain credibility with the reporters he's working with, and probably hard not to resent what his boss did to him, as well.

Q: Custom sort function in google chart table I need a google chart table with custom sorting for one of the columns.
I created the table with sort: 'event, i guess that this should emit some event that can be captured, but didn't found any information about it.

A: Capture the "sort" event with an event handler:
// table is your Table visualization
google.visualization.events.addListener(table, 'sort', function (e) {
    // e.column is the column to sort
    // e.ascending is a boolean, true for ascending sort, false for descending sort

    // sort your data

    // if you want the ascending/descending elements to work correctly, you need to specify the Table's sortColumn and sortAscending options when you redraw the Table, eg:
    options.sortColumn = e.column;
    options.sortAscending = e.ascending;
    table.draw(sortedData, options);
});

According to data referring to the period between September 2017 and September 2018, the mobile operating system market share of the Islamic Republic of Iran is as follows: 89.19 percent Android, 10.09 percent iOS, 0.16 percent Windows, 0.15 percent Nokia, 0.14 percent Linux, 0.07 unknown. Despite US sanctions, Apple devices are available in Iran. The scarce presence of Apple in the statistics above might be due to the fact that in 2017 the American company removed several popular Iranian apps from its app stores due to US sanctions against Iran. Amongst the apps concerned are Snapp (a ride-hailing app like Uber) and Delion Foods (a food delivery service).
When it comes to technology, many products are imported, including from the US. This is the case of Mac computers as well as iPhones, which are imported via a third country such as the UAE and Azerbaijan. Needless to say, such expensive items are bought by a small minority, meaning those who can afford them. Since these items are smuggled into Iran, no data is available.
Pricewise, one week of Internet with RighTel costs 170.00 Rial, that is €1.30, as per information gathered by the author in November 2018. However, the devaluation of the Rial makes it difficult to provide a clear picture of the tariff situation in the country. According to Numbeo (the biggest database on the cost of living), one minute of prepaid local mobile tariff is IRR 658.46, without discounts or a plan. However, tariffs are often changing and, for instance, according to Expatistan, one minute of prepaid mobile tariff (no discount, no plans) costs IRR4.622. More information on prepaid sim cards can be found on Wikia.com and on the Internet pages of one of the main providers, Irancell.ir. Iranian daily newspapers often cover the issue of costs of mobile phones and Internet connection.

Author Jim Shepard's favorite passage from "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" highlights a sad truth: A moment of clarity only lasts a moment.
"She could have been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been someone there to shoot her every minute of her life."
For Jim Shepard, author of Love and Hydrogen and You Call That Bad, this line has been cause to contemplate what it means to be good—and the value of goodness when it's merely fleeting. If human beings can muster startling flashes of selflessness and generosity, why do we revert so quickly to our flawed, limited selves? And does the fact that we do relapse into old patterns diminish what we are in our best moments? O'Connor's story helps Shepard wrestle with these questions as he crafts his own imperfect characters, who catch glimpses of how to become better—but are often not quite strong enough to change.
Doug McLean Shepard is one of America's foremost story writers: His work has appeared in magazines like The New Yorker, Granta, and Harper's, and has been anthologized in The Best American Short Stories. His collection Like You'd Understand, Anyway (2007) won the Story Prize and was a finalist for The National Book Award. He's a professor of English Literature at Williams College, and he spoke to me by phone from his home in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
When I first encountered "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," I read it the way many people do when they first encounter the story—a kind of social satire that veers over into random violence, plus a little spasm of hard-to-sort-through theology at the end. But when you spend more time with it, it becomes clear the story is a hugely powerful acting-out of a theme O'Connor said was crucial to her work: the action of grace in territory held largely by the devil.
Writers talk a lot about epiphanies—what O'Connor, in her Catholic tradition, called "grace"—in short stories. But I think we're tyrannized by a misunderstanding of Joyce's notion of the epiphany. That stories should toodle on their little track toward a moment where the characters understand something they didn't understand before—and, at that moment, they're transformed into better people.
You know: Suddenly Billy understood that his grandmother had always gone through a lot of difficult things, and he resolved he would never treat her that way again.
This kind of conversion notion is based on a very comforting idea—that if only we had sufficient information, we wouldn't act badly. And that's one of the great things about what The Misfit tells the Grandmother in the line I like so much. He's not saying that a near-death experience would have turned her into a good woman. He's saying it would take somebody threatening to shoot her every minute of her life.
In other words, these conversion experiences don't stick—or they don't stick for very long. Human beings have to be re-educated over and over and over again as we swim upstream against our own irrationalities.
Now, O'Connor really believes that we can flood, momentarily, with the kind of grace that epiphany is supposed to represent. But I think she also believes that we're essentially sinners. She's saying: Don't think for a moment that because you've had a brief instant of illumination, and you suddenly see yourself with clarity, that you're not going to transgress two days down the road.
I find this idea enormously useful in my own work. My characters are all about gaining an understanding of the right thing to do—and avoiding it anyway. That sense that we can be in some ways geniuses of our own self-destruction runs, in some ways, counter to the more traditional notion of the epiphany—which tells us that stories are all about providing information to characters who badly need it. Epiphanies are, in some ways, staged and underimportant.
But you still don't want to write them off. The fact that there's a brevity to human connection and human empathy—the fact that it goes away—might make you feel that we should not make a big deal that it was there at all. But of course we can't do that. We have to value the moments when a person is everything we'd hope this person would be, or became briefly something even better than she normally is. We need to give those moments the credit they're due. The glimpse of this capacity is part of what allows you to write characters who are so deeply flawed. Given that so much great literature is about staggering transgression, knowing that that capability of striving for something better is crucial for keeping you reading.
O'Connor's view of humanity in these stories is that almost everybody's going to be found wanting much of the time. And we are. But you still want to cherish those moments when someone shows you they have the capacity to be better.

This case series describes the anaesthetic management of two sibling Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) cubs that were found to have spontaneous femur fractures due to severe nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism. Both cubs received a combination of medetomidine (25 µg/kg) and ketamine (4 mg/kg) intramuscularly and were maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. An epidural injection of morphine (0.1 mg/kg) and ropivacaine (1.6 mg/kg) was administered to both tigers, which allowed a low end-tidal isoflurane concentration to be maintained throughout the femur fracture reduction operations. Both cubs experienced profound bradycardia and hypotension during general anaesthesia, and were unresponsive to anticholinergic treatment. Possible causes for these cardiovascular complications included: drug pharmacodynamics (medetomidine, morphine, isoflurane), decreased sympathetic tone due to the epidural (ropivacaine) and hypothermia. These possible causes are discussed in detail.

Required maintenance and repairs take extra time digging out these valves and cutting out roots. This tedious process is not only a waste of time, money and energy, but it is also completely unnecessary thanks to Mole Guard.
Additionally, animals such as snakes, can inhabit these valve boxes, posing a safety hazard to those who service and maintain them.
Box Guard is the revolutionary solution that prevents dirt from being offloaded into valve boxes making them easily accessible for servicing and required maintenance.
Box Guard keeps your valve boxes free of dirt and pests.
Spend a little time installing Box Guard now to save time in the future.
Don't delay, start protecting your valve boxes today.


Legislation affecting backyard swimming pools and spas has been introduced in NSW to enhance children's safety around private (backyard) swimming pools and spas.
Owners must register their pools and there is a $220 penalty for owners who fail to do so.
Swimming pool and spa pool owners are required to register their pools on an online Register provided by the NSW State Government at www.swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au. Alternatively, registration may be completed over the counter at Council's Administration Building for a small administration fee of $10.
Owners are required to self-assess and state that their pool complies with the applicable standards when registering.
In keeping with this, and in accordance with Section 22B of the Swimming Pools Act 1992, Council has developed and adopted a policy and program for the inspection of pools and spas.
This Swimming Pool Inspection Policy, the Swimming Pool Inspection Program and Swimming Pool Inspection Fact sheet outline Council's responsibilities for the inspection of swimming pools and spas in the Hawkesbury City Council Area to ensure compliance with the requirements of Part 2 of the Swimming Pools Act 1992.
All properties with a swimming pool or spa pool being sold or leased on or after 29 April 2016 now need a valid certificate of compliance, certificate of non-compliance or a relevant occupation certificate.
A 'certificate of non-compliance' will enable the seller to transfer the responsibility to obtain a certificate of compliance to the buyer. This transfer will take effect through the attachment of a certificate of non-compliance to the contract for sale.
Buyers will have 90 days from the date of settlement to rectify defects listed in the certificate of non-compliance and obtain a certificate of compliance.
Visit https://www.olg.nsw.gov.au/news/116-05-changes-properties-sold-or-leased-swimming-pools for more information.
Owners may apply for a Swimming Pool Compliance Certificate from Council or an accredited certifier so they are in a position to confidently register their pool. However, there is a fee payable for this service. A Swimming Pool Compliance Certificate is valid for three years.
Generally, pools greater than 2000 Litres capacity require an approval to install. Where an approval is required or the pool is deeper than 300mm a safety isolation barrier surrounding the pool is required.
Council's accredited certifiers can assist you by providing advice and guidance in respect to the swimming pool requirements.
Phone Council's Duty Officer on (02) 4560 4444.

Rumour Mill: Longmorn 16 and Scapa 16 Replaced
BlogRumour Mill
Rumour Mill is a new section in which I'll occasionally write about persistent rumours in the whisky industry. Rumours that either can't or won't be confirmed by the distillery or company they concern, but are still substantial enough to be mentioned and discussed. Today's rumour: the Longmorn 16 and Scapa 16 will soon disappear from the shelves.
I've tried to get confirmation from Pernod Ricard, the company that owns both Longmorn and Scapa, regarding this rumor. But over the course of several months it became clear that they weren't willing to tell me much. Which probably means that yes, there are changes coming and that it might mean that the Longmorn 16 and Scapa 16 will be replaced. Otherwise they would've just given me a hard 'No!', right? Let me take you through the process.
First of all: where did this rumor start? That is not too difficult. It began on the Scotch Malt Whisky Forum about three months ago. A user posted an excerpt from an email he received from his local branch of The Whisky Shop. The language couldn't be more clear.
"Scapa 16yo (21035) is being discontinued by Pernod Ricard, with immediate effect. There will be a replacement product but details have yet to be confirmed.
Longmorn 16yo (21034) is being discontinued by Pernod Ricard, we should get some stock on the next order which is due in early April but this will be the last of it. There will be a replacement product by details have yet to be confirmed."
I never like to get my news from a secondhand source, so I asked the forum user if he/she was willing to forward the email to me. I never heard from him/her again. That meant it was time to contact Pernod Ricard. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that it took them some time formulate their answer. Here it is:
"Innovation remains at the heart of Chivas Brothers' strategy for continuing to lead the dynamic growth within the single malt Scotch whisky category. As part of this, we are seeking to broaden our ranges, including those of Scapa and Longmorn, and look forward to announcing the full details in due course."
What conclusion can we draw from this statement? First of all, they are careful not to use the word discontinued or replaced. They talk about broadening the ranges of Scapa and Longmorn. If you're inclined to optimism, it might mean that both the Scapa 16 and the Longmorn 16 are here to stay, AND there will be new expressions of both distilleries.
This is not very likely though. Don't forget that Pernod Ricard is the company that discontinued the Glenlivet 12 in key markets in favor of the Founder's Reserve, a NAS whisky. The scenario of replacing an age statement whisky with a NAS whisky seems much more likely to me. (UPDATE: on whisky.de it is stated that the Scapa 16 will be replaced by a new 14yo. Thanks to Christopher Hayn for pointing it out)
What we can state with almost certainty is that there will be new expressions of both Scapa and Longmorn, and maybe even other distilleries. When will that be? Probably sooner than later. Why do I think that? When I first contacted a spokesperson at Pernod Ricard Netherlands, he told me he would be able to tell me more in eigth to ten weeks. We've passed the ten week mark some time ago, but I take his remarks to mean that we won't have to wait another ten weeks.
So how likely do I think it is that both the Scapa 16 and the Longmorn 16 will be replaced? Very likely. I think it is just a matter of time before Pernod Ricard will come with an official announcement.
UPDATE 19/01/2016: Pernod Ricard just announced a new Longmorn: The Distiller's Choice. First thought? This must be the replacement for the Longmorn 16. But in the final paragraph of the press release it was stated otherwise: "Longmorn 16 will remain part of the range with more information available in due course." Interesting, right? So the Longmorn 16 is still going strong… for now.
If you have any information regarding the replacement of the Longmorn 16 or Scapa 16, please let us know in the comments.

It seems that the Scapa 16yo Orcadian will be replaced by a NAS Orcadian – see https://www.ttbonline.gov/colasonline/viewColaDetails.do?action=publicFormDisplay&ttbid=15160001000592
Thijs @ Words of Whisky says:
Interesting. On Whisky.de it says that there will be a new 14 year old. Maybe they'll release a range of new expressions?
I think I judged to soon and misread the new label. It seems to be a new expression, named 'Skiren'.
Conor says:
I managed to pick up a bottle of 16 yo Scapa for £76. Now retailing from Amazon at £129.99.
The bottles on AMAZON are retailing at £52.90, what are the chances of this appreciating in value?
Are these good investments?
It's not a highly sought after whisky and I doubt it will become one. Scapa is a very low profile distillery. So no, it won't be a particularly good investment. I'm not saying you'll lose money on it, just don't expect much.
Hugh Corbett says:
In October 2015 I purchased 2 bottles of Scapa 16 year old at Las Palmas airport while returning to Scotland. Cost for the 2 was £76.40. Back there in March – none left and they had not heard of Skiren
Vitto says:
Well, at this moment seems that is hard to find a bottle of scapa less to 100 euros…MAYBE…a good investement…maybe…

With likely sale of Sixers, Snider will be glad to leave NBA
HIS BASKETBALL team had shown second-half promise, the hockey team had just finished a second-half meltdown that still had the town buzzing about goalies and captains. But as we sat down together in his glass-walled office less than a month ago, Ed Snider's first impulse was to direct my eyes toward a pile of rubble outside, a pile that was once the Spectrum.
High player salaries and a possible lockout have soured Ed Snider on the NBA. (Jerry Lodriguss/Staff file photo)Read more
by Sam Donnellon | Columnist
"Right there. That's going to be the world's largest sports bar. That's going to be the start of Philly Live!" he said, and right then and there you had to know that yesterday's report of an imminent Sixers sale was, well, imminent.
Because when I asked him if he liked the way the NBA was run that day, he said, "You want me to get fined?" And when I asked if he was selling the team that day, Snider didn't say no. "You've got reporters on it, tell me what they say," he said.
What they say, today, is that a majority stake of the team soon will be sold to a group of investors led by New York-based leveraged buyout specialist Joshua Harris, and which includes former Sacramento Kings executive Jason Levien. Both presumably would enter this ownership with eyes wide open toward a league that has undergone several franchise shifts in the 15 years Snider has owned the team, a league that has seen teams bolstered and buckled by the whims and demands of its stars. It's a cliché in pro sports these days to say the inmates run the asylum, but it was clear that day that Snider put professional basketball in a league of its own.
Owned jointly by Snider and Comcast-Spectacor, the Sixers were valued at $330 million by Forbes this season, 17th among the 30 NBA teams. Forbes media executive director Mike Ozanian told ESPN yesterday that the team's television contract, somewhere between $12 million and $13 millon, was "undermonetized" and that any new owners needed to double that, which he deemed "no problem." However, Comcast spokeswoman Maureen Quilter pointed out that the current deal extends to 2029, which suggests any additional television revenue would have to be part of the sale agreement.
At 78, Ed Snider is no dinosaur. He understands leagues and change and still sits on the NHL's rules committee. And as much as he professes his love for basketball - he reminds you repeatedly that he "played the damn sport as a kid" - it has been painfully clear almost since he took control of the team in the Pat Croce-brokered deal of 1996 that he has no patience for the compromise demanded by NBA talent, and no tolerance for a system that rewards teams that tank with the opportunity to rebuild quicker and better than those who play it straight.
He is a proud man, and he doesn't like waiting, doesn't like playing for second, or, worse, a tie. In any extended conversation, it doesn't take long for him to remind you that he "was offered a fortune to go across the river to Camden" when he built the Wells Fargo Center, that he's "the only one who built anything privately in this whole state.
"And we still have the mortgage," he said that day. "And it hurts. Damn right it hurts."
All that makes a sale right now a matter of perfect timing. With the July 1 expiration of the collective bargaining agreement looming, NBA commissioner David Stern asserted last week that 22 of its 30 teams will operate in the red this season, and that the NBA will lose $300 million after losing more than $700 million in the previous two seasons.
Players chief Billy Hunter contests this, of course, noting a continued increase in TV ratings, attendance and merchandise sales. The NBA says that revenue increases were about 10 percent annually when the last deal was struck in 2005, but are now in the 3 percent range. Such increases, said Stern, are choked off by the rise in player salaries, which represent 57 percent of all basketball-related income. The league would like to lower that percentage, and institute a hard cap like that of the NHL. Both sides say they want to avoid a lockout scenario, but the ugly truth is they are as far apart as NFL owners were last January.
Snider sounded that day like a man with no appetite for that, especially with that hurtful mortgage and Philly Live! finally taking root in front of his glass-walled eyes.
So why would a billionaire such as Harris want in? Maybe for the same reason Snider wants out. Harris can wait out a lockout, especially if the terms at the end of it increase the chance to make a buck, and/or increase the Sixers' value.
Or maybe it's that he's only 46, has all the money in the world, and wants to spend it in a way he hasn't before.
Toward the end of our meeting a month ago, Snider made precisely that point, that he was the last of a breed, guys who built their wealth through team ownership.
"So," he said then, "maybe I am a dinosaur."

The media course at RMIT includes an internship now – that would have been really valuable to make the learning at uni more tangible.
Would be some advice I'd give to my younger self. It took me a long time to be comfortable with confrontation and saying what I thought – it's such an important skill in business when you can do it the right way!
Maxus has a good reputation for that. We don't encourage long hours or weekend work but it's still an intense job so you need to work out how to turn your brain off. It's not easy and it's something I had to learn for myself. We have yoga classes and counsellors available for the team – Group M has really taken that on board and made it a priority. It's so important to the culture of a business.
At the start of my career, I was a sales rep at Ten working closely with the Maxus team. I was in the Maxus office a couple of days each week. When they approached me in 2006 to work for them, it was a natural progression. Sales gave me an understanding of what the other party needs to get out of the relationship and how it can work for the client. It gives you good perspective.

According to multiple outlets , Trump plans to sign an executive order called the American AI Initiative on Monday afternoon. The order will reportedly direct federal government agencies to dedicate more resources and investment toward AI — but not everyone is convinced it'll have the desired impact.
During a conference call with press, a senior administration official noted that the order will include five " key pillars " on which agencies should focus their AI efforts.
This is the Trump administration's biggest public statement on AI thus far, but it's just the first step toward cementing America's place as the world leader in AI — and it might not be enough, according to Harvard professor Jason Furman, who helped draft the Obama administration's report on AI .

Hemorphins are a class of naturally occurring, endogenous opioid peptides which are found in the bloodstream, and are derived from the β-chain of hemoglobin. They have antinociceptive effects via activation of the opioid receptors, and some may also play a role in blood pressure through inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), as well as cause an elevation of endogenous enkephalin levels. Some examples of hemorphins include hemorphin-4, spinorphin, and valorphin.

Q: Is it safe to download RPMs with HTTP (not HTTPS)? I want to install a CentOS package from a mirror on the internet.
e.g. http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7/os/x86_64/Packages/unixODBC-2.3.1-14.el7.x86_64.rpm
That URL is http:// not https://, so there's no TLS encryption.
Downloading binaries from the internet without encryption in transit and authenticity checking seems like a bad idea from a security perspective.
If I modify the URL to add an s, making it https://, the download doesn't work. That server does not serve anything on 443 HTTPS.
So it seems my only choice is to download the file without TLS.
Unlike some Linux ISO files, there are no .md5 and .asc files next to the main file. So I cannot manually check the file hash against a signature.
How does security work for RPMs? If I have no encryption or certificate checking when I download, is there some other chain of trust? e.g. do RPMs contain a public key inside the file (e.g. GPG/PGP) that yum compares to one it already trusts? Or would I be installing a completely untrustworthy file? (

A: RPM packages can be signed with GPG signatures. All major RPM-using distributions (eg, CentOS, Fedora, RHEL) do that.
If an RPM is signed, dnf/yum will verify the signature when you try and install the package. If it's signed by an unknown signature, they will prompt you about trusting it. If the signature doesn't verify, they will abort the install.
HTTPS provides a bunch of guarantees, but they really boil down to: the data transmission between the mirror and your computer is secure (confidential, and un-tampered). It doesn't prevent someone malicious from modifying the package on the mirror itself. Or it doesn't prevent someone from setting up a bunch of malicious packages on a fake mirror and making them available to you.
GPG, on the other hand, lets you verify that the packages you are installing were published by an authorized system (eg, official CentOS build system) and hasn't been modified since.
You can use both GPG + HTTPS to get advantages of both.
Using just GPG + HTTP, though, means someone spying can see what you are downloading. But due to GPG, if they send you malicious data, you will identify it and abort the installation.

Teen initiative leads to new smoke free policy in Montour Falls
Thursday, August 22nd 2019, 6:24 PM EDT by Isabel Garcia
MONTOUR FALLS, N.Y. (WENY) -- The air will be a bit fresher next time you visit Montour Falls. The village recently adopted a new smoke-free policy for public spaces.
It applies to all public spaces owned, operated, and/or leased by the village. County officials explain how the initiative goes beyond benefiting the environment.
"Children model behavior that they see in adults so it's really important for children to have a place to play where they wouldn't want to be exposed to second hand smoke and where their not going to be exposed to the social norms that could be harmful in the future," says Ellie Fausold, Public Health Specialist in Schuyler County.
The change was also spearheaded by local teens. Boy scouts Aidan Thurston and Gabriel Glover gave a presentation to the village board about their findings following a cigarette butt cleanup effort last year.
"Just last week they were able to put up signs for the new tobacco free policy in the park so they were really instrumental in this entire process, which is important because youth are making decisions for their own community which is really powerful," Fausold says.
"It's really inspiring to work with youth who have been so driven and stayed with this initiative that we've worked on for well over a year now, so I think it's just inspiring to see young people who are stepping up and being leaders so that they can see the change, and be a part of the change that they want to see in their community," adds Michelle Larimore, Public Education Coordinator with the Southern Tier Tobacco Awareness Coalition.
Once the village board officially adopted the policy, the community-based group was able to access brand new signs to indicate where those smoke free areas are located, all for free.
"The Southern Tier Tobacco Awareness Coalition is a state-funded program through the dept. of health and one of our initiatives is to provide support for businesses and municipalities that are looking to create tobacco-free areas. So one of the perks of our program is that we can provide free signage for anybody who's willing to adopt a policy," Larimore explains.
For businesses or other municipalities which may be interested in adopting a similar policy, additional information about the Southern Tier Tobacco Awareness Coalition can be found here: http://www.sttac.org/initiatives#.XV8VkuhKiUk

Similar to Rothko's other works from this period, No. 61 consists of large expanses of color delineated by uneven, hazy shades. The Rust and Blue painting was a part of the Color Field Movement as No. 61 relies on subtle tonal values that are often variations of a monochromatic hue. Rust and Blue also uses layered coloring to enrich the hues in the painting, a quality the artist Mark Rothko described as "inner light". Rothko painted in such a way that at times paint can be seen flowing upward across the surface. This illusion can be seen in No. 61 since Rothko inverted the painting toward the final stages of his work.
