Trophy Shop Owner Receives Local & State PBL "Business Person of Year" Honors
» Trophy Shop Owner Receives Local & State PBL "Business Person of Year" Honors
Ms. Darlene Webster, celebrating her 25th year as owner of The Trophy Shop in Albemarle, has been named by both Stanly Community College (SCC) Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) and North Carolina Phi Beta Lambda as the business student group's 2015 Business Person of the Year.
Following local recognition, the state honor was announced at the 61st Annual Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference held recently in Charlotte.
Chapters throughout the state identify a business leader who serves as an example for students interested in entrepreneurship and business. A panel of judges review nomination materials and select a state recipient.
This was the fourth consecutive year for the Stanly Community College's nominee to receive the state honor. Preceding Ms. Webster were Mr. James Lowder, 2014; Mr. Matt Smith, 2013; and Ms. Charlotte Maness, 2012.
A native of Stanly County and graduate of North Stanly High School, Ms. Webster worked as a department manager at a local retail store for a number of years.
Ms. Webster's in-laws opened a "trophy" business in their garage in 1984, later moving it to its present location on Main Street, where the display window of trophies and plaques has remained a part of the city's business scene. In 1990 they decided to sell the business, and she decided it was time to be in business for herself.
Ms. Webster told chapter representatives she has seen many other businesses come and go over the 25 years, including several in the area that did services similar to hers. "I am proud that I have been able to stay in business despite the recent recession, during which many businesses and organizations cut back on the number and size of awards and recognition items they present."
"This past year has seen an increase in business over the previous two years, and that should be encouraging to students hoping to go into business for themselves. I have learned the lessons of entrepreneurship the hard way, but I am very thankful for a base of loyal customers. I am also glad that the county colleges are emphasizing business adventures like this."
When asked what she was proudest of as she celebrated the 25th anniversary, Ms. Webster said she was glad to provide an example of business success for women. Although she said her daughters are not interested in running the business, she knows they appreciate the work that went into it in order to make a living for the family.
"I also take pride in preparing pieces that are being given to show appreciation, particularly when businesses, schools, organizations, and churches are honoring someone for volunteer service."
The third thing is that she has operated the business by herself for the past 25 years, drafting the assistance of some close friends at the few times when there was too much for her to get done by a deadline.
She also spoke to the PBL students about changes in the business, telling them that over the 25 years, products have grown from trophies and plaques to an assortment of items like name badges, ribbons, medallions, desk accessories, and a big increase in horse show and car show ribbons.
She also commented on the changes in machinery. The original engraving was set by hand, and she estimated maybe four plaques a day would get done. When she started doing computerized engraving that jumped to 25 a day. Now she has laser equipment that would allow her to do over a hundred plaques in a day's time if she had to.
"The chapter is pleased to honor Ms. Webster as she celebrates her 25th anniversary as a local entrepreneur and business person," commented Chuck VanHoose, president of the SCC PBL chapter. "She provides a positive example for business students, and in recognizing her we salute all those business leaders who are committed to providing quality merchandise, good service, and ethical business procedures. Of course, we were also excited with the announcement that the state organization was joining us in highlighting her!"
Ms. Darlene Webster, celebrating her 25th year as owner of The Trophy Shop in Albemarle, received both local and state "Business Person of the Year" honors from Phi Beta Lambda recently. Presenting the award are Chuck VanHoose (left) and Katrina Sams (right), officers of the Stanly Community College chapter and president and secretary, respectively, of the state organization.

The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. You have to make these big decisions. In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage.
Don't forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you. Think about a cloud. Just float around and be there. I think there's an artist hidden in the bottom of every single one of us.
Now it's beginning to make a little sense. There's not a thing in the world wrong with washing your brush. I think there's an artist hidden in the bottom of every single one of us. See how easy it is to create a little tree right in your world.
In life you need colors. Now let's put some happy little clouds in here. Trees cover up a multitude of sins. I spend a lot of time walking around in the woods and talking to trees, and squirrels, and little rabbits and stuff. In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. With practice comes confidence.

Q: Updating parent state in child useEffect with dependency array causes loop Problem is as described in title. I have a state in my Parent that I want to update in a child. However, passing the setState function as a prop and updating it in the child's useEffect causes a loop. This happens irregardless of the dependency array.
I figured this happens because updating the parent state causes a re-render of the child, updating the depended upon prop and triggering another re-render. Not sure if this is correct, though.
If anyone can explain why this happens and a proper solution, I'd be glad.
Also, below is the logic that causes this behavior.
export const Parent = () {
    const [state, setState] = useState({something})

    switch(thing) {
       return <Child onNext={someFunction} setSettings={setState}/>
    }
}

const Child = (props) => {
    { onNext, setSettings } = props
    const [childState, setChildState] = useState({something})

    useEffect(
        () => {
            setSettings(childState)
        }, [childState])

    return(
foobar
)
}

A: I'd recommend looking broader and ask why you need to update parent's state with the value from child's state. You should have one and only have "source of truth" for each property, it is bad practice to duplicate property in parent's and child's states. Therefore, it's better to pass state from Parent down to Child rather than Child having its own property. It is a canonically inappropriate way.
I suppose doing smth like this in the situation above:
export const Parent = () {
    const [state, setState] = useState({something})
    const [stateForChild, setStateForChild] = useState({somethingAnother})

    switch(thing) {
       return <Child onNext={someFunction} setSettings={setState} stateForChild={stateForChild} setStateForChild={setStateForChild}/>
    }
}

const Child = (props) => {
    { onNext, setSettings, stateForChild, setStateForChild } = props

    // use stateForChild and setStateForChild

    return(
foobar
)
}

Q: Can't see output of Web Service on Android device I have written a Android code that calls a web service.I now want to run that app on my actual phone and not the emulator. When I run the app using Android Emulator and url http://10.0.2.2/test/Service1.asmx , I get to see my output but when I change the url to http://192.168.56.1/test/Service1.asmx , I cannot see the same output on my Android smartphone.It gives an error saying connection refused.
Please can someone help me solve this problem
Here is the android code:

             import android.app.*;
             import android.os.*;

        tv.setText(result.toString());
         } catch (Exception e) {
        tv.setText(e.getMessage());
        }
      }
     }

A: This problem doesn't reside with your android source since it is obviously working when the network endpoint is available, rather you problem is most likely due to a network restriction causing the endpoint to not be available.
The most common culprit is a firewall, have you ensured that traffic is allowed in/out on the selected port (assumed 80) from the host of the service?
I believe that you are unaffected when running under the emulator because the way the 10.0.0.2 route works makes the system think as though the traffic originated from the host and is probably exempt from any firewall rules in place that would block remote traffic.

Delhi's peak power demand may hit 6,600 MW this summer: BSES
The peak power demand in the city during the summer of 2017 is expected to touch around 6,500-6.600 MW. Last summer, it was 6,261 MW, highest ever-recorded in the national capital.PTI | February 24, 2017, 08:12 IST
New Delhi: Delhi's peak power demand may touch 6,600 MW this summer, surpassing last year's peak of 6,261 MW which is the highest ever recorded till date.
The peak power demand in the city during the summer of 2017 is expected to touch around 6,500-6.600 MW. Last summer, it was 6,261 MW, highest ever-recorded in the national capital, said a spokesperson of power distributor BSES.
The BSES discoms BRPL and BYPL have firmed up arrangements to source adequate power to meet the peak power demand to serve over 38.8 lakh consumers during the ensuing summer months, he said.
The peak power demand in South and West Delhi, covered by BRPL, that had reached 2,669 MW during summer last year, is expected to touch around 2,800 MW this year.
The peak demand in East and Central Delhi covered by BYPL, is also expected to rise from 1,493 MW last year to around 1,600 MW.
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), supplying to parts of north and northwest Delhi, has also estimated a peak electricity demand of about 1,900 MW in coming summer.
With summer expected to be harsh this time, peak demand is expected to be 1,900 MW, which was 1,791 MW last year, said a TPDDL spokesperson.
The discom will ensure uninterrupted power supply by receiving 200 MW in summer from states who were supplied power by it during winters of 2016, he said.
"As the Meteorological department has forecast an extremely hot summer this time, we are expecting the peak power demand to reach 1,900 MW in our area. The demand will be met through long-term tie-ups amounting to around 2,000 MW and other suitable arrangements," said Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD of TPDDL.
BSES too has made arrangements including long power purchasing agreements (PPAs) and banking arrangements with other states besides strengthening distribution network for ensuring uninterrupted supply to its consumers.
BRPL will be getting around 200 MW of power through banking arrangements and BYPL around 170 MW. During contingencies arising due to low generation and outages of power plants, the discoms will obtain short-term power from the exchange, said its spokesperson.
The distribution network is also being spruced up by preventive maintenance, load balancing of substations and thermo scanning of distribution transformers, he added. VIT SBR KUN

Trump Pardons Sheriff Joe

Just breaking news...
President Trump granted a presidential pardon to Joe Arpaio, the former Sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., on Friday. Arpaio, 85, had been convicted for intentionally disobeying a judge's order in an immigration case.
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon," the White House said in a statement.
This will drive the leftists crazy.

He's right, but I'm still not tired of winning.
Least Trump isn't pardoning convicted felons and drug dealers ,mail fraud, Aiding and abetting smuggling, Bank embezzlement, Bank fraud,Conspiracy to launder money,Importation of a controlled substance-excess of 5 kilograms of cocaine, Unlawful disposal of hazardous waste without a permit, Knowingly disposing of a firearm to a felon, Destruction of mail matter by a postal employee, Involuntary manslaughter, scheme to defraud the United States of money and property, Officer of U.S. stealing property of another, etc like Obama did.
By the end of his presidency on January 20, 2017, Barack Obama had exercised his constitutional power to grant executive clemency—that is, "pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve"—to 1,927 individuals convicted of federal crimes.

It is too bad POTUS cannot do a "reverse pardon" and jail people like US District Judge Susan Bolton who jails an official for doing his job of enforcing federal law.
(CNN Politics 8-25-17) "Not only did (Arpaio) abdicate responsibility, he announced to the world and to his subordinates that he was going to continue business as usual no matter who said otherwise," US District Judge Susan Bolton wrote in a July 31 order finding him guilty.

Joe was a beacon of old school law enforcement dedicated to protecting the community he served. Pardon was well deserved and an example of proper use of it. I'm all in with President Trump. I do wish he'd drop the twithing thing and take away some ammo from the left trash media but I understand it's a way to lash back when constantly beING berated night and day. Don't these idiots understand he doesn't need any of this crappie he could simply say Farkas off I tried to help but I'll take my gorgeous wife and go sit on a yacht in the Riviera and count money. I believe he truly cares and wants to save our country. I'm not religious anymore but I pray for him daily to be successful somehow.

I grew up in a liberal household. I had a discussion on this with my mom the other night. She was ranting about how this is just a slap in the face of justice and how much we need to get this man (Trump) out of office. When I threw back about how for the last eight years the white house has not only refused to enforce immigration laws they actually directed the Attorney General to go after those that tried to enforce the laws that were on the books she had did not have a good response.
I do not agree with everything that Trump is doing, but this case is is not nearly as big as the media is making it out to be.
Despite everything that occurred during the election the media is still the biggest problem in the US
MikeD, Aug 27, 2017
Trump uses twitter because the media won't cover the "news" correctly themselves, so he is forced to do it on his own.
I don't like twitter either. I don't use twitter.
But the media has been a problem since before the mid 1990's.
I blame a lot of the AWB on the media. They bombarded everything about how evil guns are, when in reality, it's not an inanimate objects fault because that was in their agenda.
I'm sure Nixon didn't expect the media bastards to cause such a negative effect on the Vietnam war either.
The media is bad.
Has been for a long time.
No real way to fix that now other than nuking it from orbit.
Which Trump seems more successful at it than many of his predecessors despite being outnumbered 200,000 to 1.
Personally, I would like to see a law be passed that journalists must be able to pass a test to become certified and become licensed.
Trump may even be able to do an executive order pertaining to the FCC where they can pull the licenses of broadcasters after so many violations.
I'm sure that the broadcasters would sue for violating their 1A rights, but it is not within their 1A right to outright lie and falsify the way they have been doing.
If they want to continue doing so, they would have to do so as individuals rather than a corporation that is profiting from it.
Just my 12 cents on the matter.
CaddmannQ 12g Supporter
I'm pretty sure that Trump staff could find an injustice similar to that of Sheriff Joe in every state of the union somewhere.
I think if Trump would travel to these various States and use presidential powers to correct or mitigate the issues in question, in full public View, he would cement his voter base completely.
Obama's catch-and-release drug enforcement has thrown a lot of people back into society that probably should not be there, and Trump should make an issue of pointing these people out when they become recidivists. As they get caught he should tweet out:
"Oh look... here's a drug Smuggler who Obama let out of jail and we just caught him again for smuggling.
Because we were nice to him, and let him go free, and then he spit on us, we're going to double his sentence this time."
Anyhow you know how the revolving-door prison works: most of those guys who Obama released will be caught again, because they are already violators again. I would bet money that 90% of the drug violators re-violated within one week of release from prison.
Now I'm wondering if Obama released any sex criminals?

We've always heard a lot about Sheriff Joe up here. Partly because there are quite a few western Canadians who call Arizona home for at least part of the year and in particular Maricopa County.
I first remember hearing about Sheriff Joe a little over 20 years ago. And it was no different then, people either loved him or hated him as it's been all along.
I think that to perform any necessary work including law enforcement you're gonna have give and take...good and bad. So, I believe his undertakings were necessary and he did what so many others failed to do...enforce the law. The methods could be up for debate I s'pose but it was effective and certainly did what law enforcement and punishment are supposed to do...be anything but comfortable for criminals.
I'm glad the President pardoned him. That's no way to wind up a life of service to your country and your neighbors.
cmcdonald, Aug 27, 2017
I lived in Maricopa County back in the days when I could grab my Sheridan rifle, and hop on my Schwinn Tornado, and ride off into the desert to shoot rabbits and snakes and big spiders.
I never felt afraid, and my parents were not afraid to let me go and do it. None of the neighbors thought I was a monster. Most of their kids had BB guns & most of their dads were in the Air Force and knew how to shoot.
I think the world has changed a lot since then, so it's nice to see a little bit of common sense like Sheriff Joe applies to the law.
We cannot fail to enforce the laws (as the Lefties would wish) just because we can't enforce them perfectly 100% of the time. There is no civil rights law that guarantees our citizens that the cops will be one hundred percent perfect. What we expect from them is to be Humane, honest, and reasonable. And above that we expect them to enforce the law as well as they can under the situation.
Joe was faced with a situation where the lefties lived in a world that didn't exist, hoping that by pretending it did, that it would come into being.
Clearly these folks never studied chemistry, physics, or any of the physical sciences which describe the motion of matter and energy within this universe. Cause and effect are foreign Concepts to these people.
They've been running the country and you can see what has become of the educational system because of their philosophies. You can see what has become of American students.
With their silly dreaming these assholes have taken away the pride of our children and they should be imprisoned for it. We should take the concept of malfeasance in office a little farther in the case of such crimes against Society.
You can wish anything you want, and you can believe (and within reason behave) however you want; but people are going to be people in the end, and they are going to behave way people have always behaved in the end, and the reasons will always be the same as the reasons people always had, for their misbehavior, in the end.

And it would have been a quick wind-up of his life. There are so many prisoners that Sheriff Joe incarcerated he probably would have died w/in 90 days of imprisonment.

Q: How do I find/list all files on filesystem with a certain SELinux "fcontext" I'm having trouble finding information on what command, presumably from setools, I should use to find all the files on my filesystem that are labeled by SELinux with a certain file-context (fcontext).

At the moment, I can manually list the files along with their respective fcontexts from the file /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files, and then grep the specific fcontext I'd like to see.
[root@FedPadSSD files]# cat file_contexts |grep ifconfig_exec_t
/bin/ip --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/ip        --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/tc        --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/bin/ip     --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/ip    --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/tc    --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/ethtool   --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/ifconfig  --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/iwconfig  --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/mii-tool  --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/ethtool       --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/ifconfig      --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/iwconfig      --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/mii-tool      --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/ipx_configure     --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/ipx_interface     --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/sbin/ipx_internal_net  --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/ipx_configure --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/ipx_interface --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0
/usr/sbin/ipx_internal_net      --      system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0

The problem with this is that, it seems, most of the time there's something wrong or missing/incomplete when you do it manually as it relates to the SELinux "database" (for lack of a better word).  So, I wonder if something already exists in the setools package, or related packages, that accomplishes this without having to fuss around with the system-wide configuration files.

A: semanage fcontext -l | grep whatever_exec_t is probably the best way to find labeling rules for specific context.
If you wish to search for current file contexts instead of labeling rules, you can use ls -Z, but SELinux-aware find supports -context <glob> test and %Z format specifier for -printf. Note that whole context string is matched against <glob>, so use wildcards when matching against type only. Example on my Centos 7.3:
#find / -xdev -type f -context '*ifconfig_exec_t*' -printf '%-50Z%p\n'
system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0              /usr/sbin/ip
unconfined_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0          /usr/sbin/ifconfig
system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0              /usr/sbin/ethtool
system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0              /usr/sbin/iw
unconfined_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0          /usr/sbin/mii-tool
system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0              /usr/sbin/tc

A: If your distro packages the ifconfig_selinux man page (Fedora has it in selinux-policy-devel), it'll tell you:
   The following file types are defined for ifconfig:

   ifconfig_exec_t

   - Set files with the ifconfig_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
   executable to the ifconfig_t domain.

   Paths:
        /bin/ip,    /sbin/ip,    /sbin/tc,    /usr/bin/ip,   /usr/sbin/ip,
        /usr/sbin/tc,   /sbin/ethtool,   /sbin/ifconfig,   /sbin/iwconfig,
        /sbin/mii-tool,       /usr/sbin/ethtool,       /usr/sbin/ifconfig,
        /usr/sbin/iwconfig,    /usr/sbin/mii-tool,    /sbin/ipx_configure,
        /sbin/ipx_interface, /sbin/ipx_internal_net, /usr/sbin/ipx_config‐
        ure, /usr/sbin/ipx_interface, /usr/sbin/ipx_internal_net

You can also use sesearch -all -t ifconfig_exec_t to see what transitions operate on files with a target of ifconfig_exec_t, which might help you find files with that context.

A: At the moment on RHEL7.1--I'm not sure if this has always been there and I missed it--I can execute the following to get a list of all the filecontexts and just pipe the output to grep:
# semanage fcontext -l |grep ifconfig_exec_t
/bin/ip                                            regular file       system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0

A: The find command allows you to search by security context.
For example, let's search for all files of the type "unlabeled_t".
find / -type f -context *unlabeled_t*

The first part, "find / -type f," tells us to search all regular files on the system.
"-context *unlabeled_t*" filters to show us all files of type unlabeled_t.  We have to wildcard the beginning and end, because we don't care about the user/role at the beginning, or the MLS/MCS context at the end.

'Disability After Dark' Podcaster Launches Accessible Sex Toy Brand
By Eleanor Hancock
The first round of products from startup Handi set to be released to testers in 2021.
Siblings Andrew Gurza and Heather Morrison (pictured above) launched the accessible sex tech brand Handi.
One of the world's first commercial sex toys designed specifically for and by people with limited hand mobility is about to hit the market. It was developed by Andrew Gurza, a 36-year-old podcaster with cerebral palsy.
Gurza and his sister Heather Morrison are co-creators of the sexual wellness brand Handi, which recently launched a website and promo merch. Handi aims to release the first prototype of its accessible sex toy to community testers in early 2021 and begin selling it to the public later in the year.
One unique aspect of this toy is that Gurza has personally been involved in the design process, and the research and development process has involved participants living with a range of disabilities.
Gurza is a well-known disability awareness consultant, advocate, influencer, and social media personality. He is currently based in Toronto, Canada.
He has over 14,000 followers on Instagram and comments on many social issues online, predominantly those to do with disability or sexuality.
In fact, much of his social media success is from his popular podcast Disability After Dark, which has been a huge success since it launched in 2016.
Over the years, Gurza has sought to address the sexuality of disabled people in a raw and unapologetic manner.
He has publicized insights from his own lived experiences, while also providing a platform for other sexual-rights based issues or "intersections."
By bringing disabled people to the discussion about sex, and making his own views, opinions, and experiences visible, he is showing society how we need to listen to more like him. Handi is very much a product of Andrew's numerous works over the years.
A 'Handi' sexual aid and guide book
Design and development of the Handi sexual aid was completed with a number of experts in a range of fields from occupational therapy, psychotherapy, or engineering. According to the website:
"We've brought together an amazing team of occupational therapists product engineers and industrial designers, including Dr. Judith Glover, the only person in the world with a Ph.D. in sex toy design, and of course, the disabled community."
This comes as no surprise if you have ever listened to Gurza's podcasts, speeches, or social media Tweets. He is a firm believer in empowering the disabled community to reclaim their sexuality.
If sex toys are the tool that is necessary to do that, then they need a seat at the table when those toys are being made. As such, a percentage of profits from Handi will go towards disability development and design projects. This ensures that projects like Handi and other disability-focused design ventures can continue.
Recently, Handi launched their book The Handi Book of Love, Lust & Disability. It is currently available as an E-book for $15 with limited physical copies for a slightly higher price tag.
Not only has Gurza pioneered disability activism and rights through the medium of technology, but he is now also using technology to help evolve the narrative he is part of.

Air India grounds 57 over-weight crew members
Air India has over 3,800 cabin crew members, of whom more than 2,500 are women
oi-PTI
New Delhi, Jan 20: Cracking the whip on its over-weight cabin staff, the government-owned Air India has temporarily taken off 57 crew members from flying and put them on ground duty. These cabin crew members, including air hostesses, have been told to "shape up" within a stipulated time frame, failing which they would be grounded permanently, Air India sources said.
Air India has over 3,800 cabin crew members, of whom more than 2,500 are women. Out of the total cabin crew strength, around 2,200 members are on permanent rolls. As per norms of aviation regulator DGCA, the cabin crew has to be declared as 'fit', 'temporary unfit' and 'permanent unfit' by designated doctors through their periodic medical examination.
Air India had earlier removed over weight staff
"These cabin crew members were found over-weight during the periodic review and told to get fit for flying in a particular time frame. However, as they failed to do so in the stipulated time, they have been taken off from flying duties last month and given ground jobs," a source said.
This is the second time in last over a year-and-half that the national carrier has taken such an action against its bulky cabin crew members as in September 2015 also, it had taken off 125 such employees from flying duty after they failed to maintain weight as per the mandatory norms.
As per the DGCA's regulations, a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18-25 is normal for a male cabin crew, while for a female it is 18-22. A BMI of 25-29.9 for male crew is considered overweight and 30 and above is obese, while for females BMI of 22-27 is overweight and 27 and above obese.
The BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. As per the norms, a cabin crew member found overweight is deemed temporarily unfit and given three months to reduce weight.
A cabin crew can continue with flying duty for up to 19 months with the temporarily unfit tag, but if he or she fails to reduce weight to meet the required BMI during this period, he or she will be deemed permanently unfit.

The odd part is other cities are plotting just fine (London and NYC). Not sure why SF is being screwy.
Any ideas?

A: Not sure why you are using san-francisco-2, but you should use either San Francisco just as your second column or  give the iso code : US-CA . So:
data.addRows([
    ['london', 'London', 1, '
London
'],
    ['london', 'London', 1, '
London
'],
    ['new-york-city', 'New York City', 1, '
New York City
'],
    ['San Francisco', 'San Francisco', 1, '
San Francisco
'],
    ['San Francisco', 'San Francisco', 1, '
San Francisco
'],
]);

A: Found an answer in the Google Visualization API Forums.
Basically GeoChart uses the first element for geocoding. I had my category slug first (which I'm using for the filtering mechanism with Isotope).
So if I rearrange my data to be:
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

data.addColumn('string', 'City');
data.addColumn('string', 'Slug');
data.addColumn('number', 'Value');
data.addColumn({type: 'string', role: 'tooltip', p:{html:true}});

/* Locations */
data.addRows([
    ['London', 'london', 1, '
London
'],
    ['London', 'london', 1, '
London
'],
    ['New York City', 'new-york-city', 1, '

'],
    ['San Francisco', 'san-francisco-2', 1, '
San Francisco
'],
    ['San Francisco', 'san-francisco-2', 1, '

]);

It works perfectly. Just answering this myself for any future visitors with the same question.

Come experience a rousing welcome to the 27th annual Southern SAWG gathering. Together, we are building our collective dream of a food and agricultural system that is life-giving, sustainable and just. With all of the trauma that our friends and neighbors have suffered in the past year, we now need each other more than ever. So join other conference participants as we get re-inspired and re-energized by the story of one of our veteran farmers, Mark Cain.
Mark Cain and his partner Michael Crane have been farming at Dripping Springs Garden in the Ozark mountains of northwest Arkansas since 1984. Mark's early inspirations for the farm came from meeting English gardening guru Alan Chadwick and natural-farming advocate Masanobu Fukuoka, and his eventual apprenticeship at the Farm and Garden Project of UCSC. Armed with a passionate love of gardening and nature, Mark and Mike began to plant the seeds of their dream in 1984, on an abandoned blueberry farm near a clear Ozark mountain stream. Slowly over the years, a thriving, intensively cropped, four-acre market garden has evolved, producing organic vegetables, fruit, and cut flowers to the nearby local markets in Fayetteville. Now Dripping Springs Garden produces crops 12 months of the year, using six high tunnels in addition to their propagation greenhouse; and each season the garden is host to 4-6 summer interns who live and work at the farm. Rather than expand production, Mark has chosen to intensify and diversify, including personally… making it a point to include activities like yoga, music, and meditation in daily farm life. The dream continues to evolve this winter with the construction of a guest/intern/retreat facility, so that more people can experience this lifestyle embedded in nature and agriculture. Join us for this plenary session as Mark shares the story of building a dream, making a living, and making a life.

Join us for a challenging and inspirational session on how to create a viable future for the next generation of farmers. Davon Goodwin, a first-generation farmer and National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC) board member, will talk about his hope for the future and how NFYC is supporting him in his farming dreams. Lindsey Lusher Shute, the Executive Director of NYFC, will share her vision of hope for the next generation of farmers and discuss NYFC programs that help make that vision become reality. Then she will engage us more deeply in what it will take for the South to create an environment that nurtures and supports the future of young farmers like Davon.
After serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Davon Goodwin returned to the U.S. injured in 2010. He had lost his sense of purpose and found it difficult to get started in a professional career — until he found farming. With the support of helpful landowners and organizations like NYFC, he was able to start OTL (Off The Land) Farms in North Carolina where he raises muscadine grapes, along with pastured poultry, pigs, goats and sheep. Farming returned hope and joy to Davon's life, and more importantly, allowed him to continue serving his country as a steward of the land and local community, combating hunger with good food. Davon is now helping other young farmers by serving on the NYFC board.
An Ohio native, Lindsey Lusher Shute first developed her love of farming on her grandfather's land in the rolling hills of Appalachia. Lindsey and her husband now own Hearty Roots Farm, a 900-member CSA in the Hudson Valley of New York. As Executive Director of the NYFC, she has grown the organization from a few volunteer farmers to a nationwide network with 36 chapters in 26 states and a grassroots base of over 120,000 supporters. Lindsey has edited and authored ten reports for NYFC, including the 2017 National Young Farmers Survey, which outlines the challenges being faced by young farmers and a strategy to help them succeed. She was recognized as a "Champion of Change" by President Barack Obama and was recently named among "20 Food Leaders Under 40" by Food Tank.
Saturday, 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Saturday, 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Saturday, 3:45 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.
These information exchange sessions have become quite popular over the last few years! This real-time crowd-sourcing gives you a chance to learn from your peers and to share your tips/experience/ knowledge. Instead of a formal presentation, these are loosely structured sessions, with a facilitator to guide the discussion among all the participants to help you make the most of your time together. Come prepared to ask and answer questions, share your experiences and listen to others. We'll provide the room and facilitator. You make the discussion useful.
Young and Beginning Farmers — Join with new(ish) farmers to discuss the critical decisions you need to make in the early stages of operating a farm. How are you accessing land and capital? How are you creating a support system to sustain you? How do you determine your focus and the scale of the operation? Share what's working for you and discuss your challenges.
Military Veterans — Connect with other veterans in the farming community. Share resources, share your successes, and discuss your unique challenges. Learn from each other and continue to build networks.
People of Color in Sustainable Agriculture — Join in a discussion about how People of Color can best position ourselves to succeed in the sustainable food and agriculture movement. Continue the conversation on needs identified at the 2017 People of Color session where we will engage on barriers and solutions for people of color related to land access, funding and finance, marketing, and racial equity. Share your insights, concerns, and ideas for making the local food movement more inclusive for all.
Teaching Farms: Preparing the Next Generation of Farmers — Discuss key challenges and successes with colleagues from different educational models — including independent teaching farmers, farmers at colleges and universities, and those affiliated with other institutions. How do you measure the success of your program? What are your strategies for meeting those goals? How do you stay focused on student success while managing a working farm?

iCloud Revealed at Apple Worldwide Developers Conference
Apple began its Wordwide Developers conference keynote today by showing off Mac OS X Lion again, and unveiling the new features of iOS 5, while of course sprinkling in various stats about Apple's accomplishments. Though CEO Steve Jobs introduced the keynote, he left other Applers to demo the OS updates.
He then returned to demo the much-anticipated iCloud, which he is "really excited about". He also said Apple is demoting the the Mac and the PC to "just be a device," and "move the digital hub, the center of your digital life, into the cloud."
"iCloud stores content in the cloud and wirelessly pushes it to all of your devices," said Jobs. "It automatically uploads it, stores it, and pushes it to all of your devices."
MobileMe apps have been re-worked to work with iCloud. Contacts can be added in any device and synced to all devices. The same goes with calendar editing.
Users can get an @me.com account to have all messages synced across devices. Jobs emphasizes that these accounts will not have ads, saying, "we just don't want ads." A dig at Google perhaps? Gmail shows users ads based on text in their email conversations.
MobileMe now "ceases to exist," according to Jobs, and iCloud is free. Apps can be accessed from any device, as can books from iBooks, music purchased from iTunes, photos, videos, etc. Specifically, iCloud supports:
– Automatic daily backups to iCloud over Wi-Fi
– Purchased music, apps and books
– Camera roll (photos and videos)
– device settings
– App data.
– Documents in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
You can simply enter your password on any device and access your stuff (kind of like what Google's doing with Chrome OS).
It works across all iOS devices, as well as Macs and PCs.
In terms of photos, the last 1,000 will still be stored on the device.
Then of course there's iTunes, where music can be accessed on any device without multiple purchases, of course. iTunes is getting a new "purchased" tab, which shows you the stuff you've bought download it to your device.
If you have music that you've ripped yourself (as opposed to downloading from iTunes), you can now use "iTunes Match," which scans your music and matches it up with songs in the iTunes store in "minutes". iTunes has 18 million songs by the way. Matched songs are upgraded to 256 kbps AAC DRM-free, and songs that don't match will be uploaded. One catch – iTunes Match costs $24.99 per year.
iCloud is free, it will be available by default on iOS 5, and it comes with 5GB of storage for mail, documents, and backup. Purchased music, apps, and books don't count toward that, nor do photos. iCloud is launching in developer beta today.

Gift of Life Transplant House, a beacon of hope, was established 35 years ago. It serves as a home away from home for approximately 4,500 patients and their caregivers who stay there while going through the transplant journey. They may be receiving or have received a life-saving organ transplant (such as heart, heart-lung, pancreas, liver or kidney), stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant. The house also welcomes patients receiving CAR-T therapy, which is a procedure that helps treat certain types of cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma.
Executive Director Mary Wilder brings lots of experience and enthusiasm to her position. In 2017, after holding leadership roles with increasing responsibility, Wilder relocated from the Twin Cities to take the reins at Gift of Life Transplant House. Having donated a kidney to her father several years ago, she says it seemed like providence when she learned of the position.
Thirty-five years ago, Rochester resident Ed Pompeian had the idea for Gift of Life Transplant House to aid transplant patients in their recovery, as he himself is a recipient of two kidney transplants.
April is National Donate Life Month. The main objective of National Donate Life Month is to raise awareness and encourage people to become organ donors. Throughout the month, there are a number of events planned here in Rochester. Some highlights are The Walk of Remembrance, to commemorate donors and recipients, which starts at Saint Marys Hospital and ends at Gift of Life Transplant House. The Timmay 5K—in honor of Tim Rasmusson, a young local man who passed away at 26 years old, ultimately donating several organs—is always held the last Saturday in April. Funds raised from the 5K help support Gift of Life Transplant House. Another highlight will include the unveiling of a Donor Honor Wall at the Gonda Building.
On Dec. 10, 1984, Gift of Life House opened its doors to transplant patients in Rochester. Thirty-five years is a long time to make an impact in the lives of transplant survivors around the world. In honor of this milestone, Gift of Life Transplant House has events planned for nearly every month in 2019. In July, the 35th Annual Golf Tournament will be held at Rochester Golf and Country Club. Gift of Life Transplant House will cap off the year with a special celebration planned for Dec. 10, 2019, the official anniversary date.
For more information about Gift of Life Transplant House and the numerous exciting events planned for 2019, visit gift-of-life.org/calendar-events.

What is Hunter Syndrome (MPS II)?
Disease Overview
Case Study: Russell
Case Study: Greg
Dental & Throat
Facial Appearance
Specialist Information
You are about to leave HunterPatients.com
Specialist information: neurologist
The neurological impact of Hunter syndrome (MPS II) varies widely across the disease spectrum.1
By definition, patients with the severe phenotype have profound central nervous system (CNS) involvement and patients with the attenuated phenotype exhibit little neurological involvement.1
Neurologic involvement is initially suspected by globally delayed developmental milestones, (e.g. the ability to sit unsupported, to walk and to speak).2 Cognitive status should be evaluated with neurodevelopmental assessments rather than through CNS morphology and physiology as structural abnormalities are not well-correlated with cognitive impairment in MPS II patients.1 It is necessary to evaluate multiple domains of function with age-appropriate instruments and to repeat testing at yearly intervals.1
Early neurological signs & symptoms, Dr. Anna Tylki-Szymanska
In this video Professor Anna Tylki-Szymanska discusses the early neurological signs and symptoms associated with the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in Hunter syndrome (MPS II), including cognitive impairment, attention deficit, sleep disturbances and behavioral difficulties.
Management of MPS II: A Multidisciplinary Approach – Neurology, Dr. Hernán Amartino
In this video Dr Amartino discusses the most common neurological manifestations of Hunter syndrome (MPS II), including seizures, hydrocephalus, carpal tunnel syndrome and spinal cord compression.
Management of Clinical Consequences
Depending on the disease severity, neurological manifestations may include developmental delay, cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, seizures, spinal cord compression, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and communicating hydrocephalus.3
Behavioral problems in MPS II can include hyperactivity, obstinacy and aggression; these problems appear to be limited to patients with the severe phenotype.1 Behavioral problems typically begin in the second year of life and continue until age 8 or 9 years when neurodegeneration limits this behavior.1 Behavioral therapy or the use of behavior-modifying medical therapy can be used for behavioral problems, although both are generally not very successful.1,3
Seizures are reported to occur in more than half of MPS II patients with the severe phenotype before they reach the age of 10 years.2 Parents may not initially recognize seizures, as absence seizures, which are common in MPS II, are characterized by "staring" episodes.1 Absence seizures may not require medication, whereas generalized tonic-clonic seizures can normally be controlled with anticonvulsant therapy.1
Progressive compression of the spinal cord can lead to reduced activity, paresis and spasticity, abnormal gait, muscle weakness, clumsiness with fine motor skills, pain or loss of sensation in the upper and lower body, and bladder and bowel dysfunction.1,3
Screening MPS II patients for clinical and radiological evidence of spinal cord compression may be useful, because if left untreated cord compression can lead to irreversible neurological dysfunction.1 Decompression surgery should be considered as soon as symptoms of cord compression occur.3
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is commonly seen in MPS II patients aged 5–10.1 Standard electrophysiological testing will identify median nerve compression before symptoms appear. MPS II patients can be screened for CTS by initiating testing in patients aged 4–5 years and repeating at 1–2 year intervals.1 For CTS, decompression of the median nerve should be considered in patients with loss of hand sensation, hand function, or abnormal conduction studies.3
Signs of hydrocephalus can include behavioral changes, headache and vision disturbances.1 Communicating hydrocephalus or evidence of progressive ventricular enlargement can be treated with the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in order to relieve intracranial pressure.3

Working Class vs Middle Class: The Key Differences
Aditi Shrikant
When identifying socioeconomic class, income is rarely the most important factor.
The type of work and the meaning derived from the work is often more of an indicator of class than income, professors say.
"If you're holding a position that is non-managerial, non-executive level ... you'd have been classified in our study as working class," says expert.
When defining your own class, there are many factors that might make you feel like you are in a different place on the socioeconomic spectrum than you technically are, if you go by the data. Interestingly enough, money is not always one of them.
When identifying the difference between being middle class and working class, money might be a factor but it's not the only or even the most important one, says Heather Curl, core faculty at Antioch University who studies social mobility. She's also the author of the forthcoming book, "The 'Culture Shock' of Social Mobility: Complications and Costs of the American Dream."
When she interviewed those who had shifted from the working class to the middle class, she heard from many people that cultural norms felt most defining to their class experience. "Money was actually secondary for some to the visceral experience they felt they had," she says.
Income and consumption aren't always dependable indicators of class
When linking class to income, you are also linking it to consumption, says Sherry Linkon, an English professor at Georgetown University and author of "Steeltown USA: Work and Memory in Youngstown."
This might seem like a sound way to define class, however, what the dollar can afford through time has changed. Take the American auto-industry worker in the 1950s and 60s, Linkon says.
"If we measure class by income, then at least a couple decades ago autoworkers were pretty well paid," she says. "So if we were measuring by income they would be in the middle quintile. If we were measuring by consumption, we might call them middle-class, because they might be able to buy a home or a boat or take their family to Disneyland."
You can see a difference in consumption in more recent years. Technology, like computers, used to be out of reach for working-class individuals. Now, because the price of computers has dropped, they are not.
"When I was teaching mostly working-class students in the 1990s, most couldn't afford to have a computer," she says. "When I was teaching mostly working-class students in 2010, most had a notebook computer."
The working class generally 'doesn't have a lot of decision power' on the job
Working class can be better defined by the type of work being done, not how much you are paid to do it, says Fenaba R. Addo, an associate professor of public policy at University of North Carolina who studies wealth inequality.
"If you are holding a position that is non-managerial, non-executive level, doesn't have a lot of decision power, you would have been classified in our study as working class," Addo says. And if you are self-employed but still beholden to a bigger corporation, such an Uber driver, you would still be working class.
This definition, she says, holds true throughout time and across races. "In the public space, 'working class' tends to be a dog whistle to 'white working class,'" Addo says, "but if you rely on our definition, the majority of Latinx and black workers fall under the working class definition."
Of the white labor force, 53.32% are working class, according to a 2021 study Addo co-authored called "Disparate Recoveries: Wealth, Race, and the Working Class after the Great Recession." Of the Black and Latinx labor forces, 63.59% and 77.73% are working class, respectively.
You can belong to two classes depending on your assets, she adds. For example, if you have a working-class job but a lot of home equity, you might be both working- and middle-class. This can further confuse people on how to self-identify.
'Real work' is often valued
Along with the type of work, the perception of work can be a defining factor of the working class experience, Linkon says.
"You don't have any expectation that you are going to become management, nor do you want to," she says. "Working is not the thing working-class people settle for, it's the thing they value. The marketing execs and the HR management, those are people who don't do real work."
While work is valued, it's not where a purpose is found, Linkon adds: "For lots of working-class people, other than the desire to have a more economically stable life, they don't want to become something else. They do their job and they want to go home and spend time with their family and be part of their community. And that's where their meaning comes from."
