Shin splints are characterized by pain in the front part of the lower leg. It occurs on the inside edge of the large bone there — the tibia. This condition is common in runners, but can also occur in other physically active people.
Shin splints usually happen during or after a change in the intensity of physical activity, such as running more miles or more frequently.
Shin splints are not a standard medical diagnosis. The condition may also be called medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), anterior tibial pain or exercise-induced leg pain.
Shin splints are very common among professional and recreational athletes, especially runners, military recruits and dancers.
Overuse of the leg muscles — without taking enough time to rest and heal — can lead to inflammation or swelling of the tendons, muscles or tissue covering the shin.
This causes pain along the front of the shin. Symptoms range from a dull, tight feeling to a sharp pain along the shin.
However, if the shin splits don't clear up quickly, your chiropractor will look for other problems that may be contributing to the pain. This includes examining your spine, hips, knees and feet for misalignments.
One problem with the foot that can lead to shin splints is over pronation — or "rolling in" of the foot. This condition causes overstretching in the shin muscles. If this is the case, your chiropractor may prescribe a foot orthotic for you. This will adjust how your foot strikes the ground.
Your chiropractor may also make adjustments in your foot joints, ankle, knee, SI joint or low back. This can relieve the pain from shin splints, or prevent them from happening again.
If you have shin splints, look for a chiropractor who specializes in treating sports injuries and conditions. This will help you return to your regular training program.

Beautiful Dead: Phoenix
By Eden Maguire
Ships to United States.
Ships to: United States.
"Redemption and grief, and the love that exists even when people are gone."
—The Bookbag
Not alive. Not dead. Somewhere in between lie the Beautiful Dead.
It's all been building to this moment…
After everything Darina has been through, she knows it's time. She must expose the secrets behind Phoenix's death and set him free for eternity, even though it means this will be their last good-bye.
With her heart breaking more and more each day, Darina begins to unravel the mystery behind Phoenix's murder and bring him peace. But is she strong enough to defeat death…and live with a broken heart forever?
"Compelling characters coupled with a powerful mystery. A real page turner."
—Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids
Size: 5 in x 7.75 in
"3Q 4P J S
Darina's mission continues in this fourth and final installment of the Beautiful Dead series, featuring teens who cannot move on in death until the mystery surrounding their deaths is solved. Darina, who can see these dead teens, all former classmates, has until the one year anniversary of their deaths to find out who killed them. If she fails, then they fail to move on and wind up in limbo. She has succeeded in her past three efforts, but time is running out for the most important of the four, her boyfriend Phoenix. He was stabbed to death in a fight that broke out in a gas station. Who did it? Why is his older brother so angry and his younger brother getting deeper and deeper into the drug scene? His grieving mother blames Darina and will not talk to her about her sons. Her own mother and step-father want her to get over her grief and get a life. They do not understand why she drives out of town to visit the abandoned farm at Foxten Ridge, but that is where she meets the "Beautiful Dead" and Hunter, their overlord, who directed her past quests and is watching over her in this one.
While this novel can be read as a stand-alone, readers will no doubt enjoy it more if they read the first books first. This series is a strange take on the "I see dead people" theme, but the mystery is compelling enough to keep readers turning pages until the satisfying resolution. This will appeal to Twilight fans for its tormented romance, and supernatural fans for the paranormal powers of the Beautiful Dead.—Bonnie Kunzel." — VOYA

Independence Conservancy is the first and only land trust based in Beaver County, PA. We are an all-volunteer organization headquartered in Industry, PA, and are active throughout the Raccoon Creek Region. Independence Conservancy is not a unit of state, local or county government. We are a 501c3 non-profit supported 100% by public donations, project grants and stewardship programs.
Independence Conservancy was incorporated on July 4, 1999 in Aliquippa PA, as the Independence Marsh Foundation to care for the Independence Marsh mitigation wetlands along Route 151 in Beaver County. As time passed, this purpose became unnecessary and the Foundation expanded its work throughout the greater Raccoon Creek Region.
On January 1, 2007, we changed our corporate name from Independence Marsh Foundation to Independence Conservancy to better reflect our status as a land trust and to recognize our larger role as an independent steward of the Raccoon Creek Region in Beaver, Washington and Allegheny Counties of Western Pennsylvania.
On March 31, 2015, the members of the Raccoon Creek Watershed Association voted to disband the RCWA and join with Independence Conservancy. Independence Conservancy is the official advocate for stewardship of the greater Raccoon Creek Region including Mill Creek, King's Creek and Harmon Creek which flow westward toward the Ohio River.
Protect 99 acres of land in three counties, including Rocky Bottom Natural Area on Raccoon Creek Road in Potter Township - the only free public access to lower Raccoon Creek.
Keep Raccoon Creek flowing clean with two abandoned mine discharge treatment systems removing over 600 tons of iron pollution from the headwaters every year.
Offer the Community Tire Collection Program providing economical waste tire disposal options to municipalities in four counties - over 41,000 tires and wheels processed since 2004.
Hold Land Camp, a week-long, rustic camping experience for teens to learn how "Life Depends on Land."
Helped to draft the Raccoon Creek Region Conservation Plan, a guide for sustainable development in the Region.
Removed 22,000 fugitive tires and 300 tons of scrap metal from many illegal dump sites throughout the Raccoon Creek Region.
Restored 1600 feet of eroded Raredon Run with natural stream channel design and native plant buffers.
Independence Conservancy's newest project is bringing the Raccoon Creek Greenway to life. The Greenway begins in Potter Township near the Ohio River, and will eventually unite the entire length of the creek with land and water trails linking natural, historic and cultural attractions. To kick off the Greenway, Independence Conservancy has launched the Rocky Bottom Public Access Project in Potter. Slated for construction in 2016, the project will offer much-needed parking, comfort stations and ready access to Raccoon Creek for people of all abilities.
Although Independence Conservancy has its roots at Independence Marsh, the Conservancy has no offices or operations there. Independence Marsh is owned and operated by the Beaver County Conservation District whose headquarters are located in the Beaver County Conservation District Environmental Center at the wetlands.
Independence Conservancy and the Conservation District are two separate but cooperating entities with different staff and different focuses. The Conservancy and the District cooperate on many projects of environmental and public benefit such as the Raccoon Creek Region Conservation Plan and implementing the Beaver County Greenways & Trails Plan.

Q: Como fazer script auto-completa/incrementa Houve a necessidade de se criar um campo texto que por ventura recebesse nomes de cidades, no entanto que completasse a palavra em campo ao iniciar os primeiros digítos.
Preciso de alguma idéia, função com Arrays literais, mais ou menos assim:

<script language="javascript">

function autocompletar()
{
cit = ["uberaba","araxa","colombia"];
str = document.all.txt.value;
for (var i in cit)
{
if (document.all.txt.value.length > 1)
{
str.match(document.all.txt.value=cit[i])
               {
            }
        }
    }
}

</script>

Dispenso Bibliotecas nada pessoal, só não tenho interesse.

A: Bom pessoal, fiz ...

Primeiramente, cria-se um array, que terá a sua biblioteca compacta onde colocamos os dados que serão usados de forma sequencial.
Logo depois, na função autocompletar(), defini que a cidade que queremos será uma das três que estiverem no array, e esse, por sua vez, será representado pela caixa de texto. Logo depois, já no body, basta criar o campo de texto, dando a essa, pelo evento onKeyup, a funcionalidade de execução da função autocompletar().

//criando objetos array
sigla = new Object();
valor = new Object();

//declarando array com valores iniciais
  sigla[0] = 1000

//acessando um valor do array
//expecificado diretamente com o operador colchete
sigla[1] = "gua"; valor[1] = "guaíra"

sigla[2] = "bar"; valor[2] = "barretos"

sigla[3] = "mig"; valor[3] = "miguelópolis"

function autocompletar()
{
str = document.getElementById('txt').value;

//Iterando sobre aspas duplas de um objeto usando o for..in:
for (var i in sigla)
{

//Acessando o valor de um array através da aspas duplas
if(str.match(sigla[i]))
{

//recuperando os valores de um array entre as aspas duplas
str = document.getElementById('txt').value=valor[i];
           }
      }

Removing a tooth can help keep infection from spreading to other areas of your mouth and or head and neck.
Have artificial heart valves and or shunts.
Have artificial joints, such as hip replacement.
In the past, if you've had a root canal it meant that you lost that tooth because of a diseased nerve. Today, with endodontic therapy at our dental practice you may save that tooth. Each tooth has a pulp inside which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth, running like a thread down through the root. If the pulp dies because of disease or injury, it has to be removed or your tooth gets infected and you could lose it.
Endodontic treatment begins when Dr. Gallucci removes the pulp. The root canal is then cleaned and sealed off to protect it. A crown is placed over the tooth to help make it stronger.
Need a tooth replacement? Dr. Gallucci restores and replaces broken and missing teeth with artificial substitutes or prostheses. This can be as simple as making a crown for a damaged, decayed or malformed tooth or it could involve the placement of implants.
There are two types of prosthodontics. Removable prosthodontics includes replacing missing teeth with dentures and partial dentures that patients can take out themselves. Fixed prosthodontics includes replacing missing and/or broken teeth with restorations that the patient cannot remove, such as veneers, crowns, bridges, and implants. Prosthodontics also deals with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems or with snoring.


I call for out launch site out north (again) as this party was on the books for a flight just a week ago but Mother Nature was "fussy" and fogged us out. The pi-ball tells the story and I move us to Whittaker Middle School parking lot for the launch site. It is Molly's Birthday so we bring her a "present" a quickie banner greeting out of the fabric from the now scrapped balloon "Highlight" which she crewed on for us in the early 90's. The sun is up and the sky is clearing so we get to work on "Starship" for today's flight. Molly and the boys along with Cecil get the top in. Time to add the cold air and get the balloon "pumped up" and ready for the passengers. After the "briefing" we are off the lot with a bit of a hook to the north? Not the way I want but as I get some altitude we get the north push and head to the south as planned. I have had thousands of passengers over the last 23 years of sharing this experience but have not seen such "dedication" to overcoming their "fear of flying" than Lisa. No doubt about it, it is going to take more than the "normal" few minutes to get her to the "relaxed" phase of the flight. We head down Cherry Ave toward the State Deaf & Blind School, which is a great LZ (landing zone) for us but not on Sunday as the gates are locked. We have moved toward the Parkway and toward the NEW Capitol Toyota/chev complex that is right on the lake and still under construction. The "gang" is staged close by but we have missed 3 LZ's so far and they will be on the move again. We have crossed over the hour mark so I would like to get a "spot to park" soon. I take a shot at a school and get shoved off to the west so we will continue toward the Capitol Mall area. We have one more LZ that may work and that is next to the Catholic Church and MS Distribution with a BIG parking lot. As has been the rule this morning, Mother Nature is not helpful and we miss this LZ too. We are now heading into the Capitol Mall area and today is not the day to "play" here as all the parking lots are full and over half the Mall Park is full of tents. I'm thinking of using the patio area of the state Lands Building as it has street access and would be easy to get to the gear. I call for the gang to stage in that area and I move us over the trees by the creek for the shot. It is really tight and we will have to do some fancy work to make it in but is doable in these light winds. After the "gang" gets the drop line all we have to do is let the balloon POST around over the building and then fly down the rope for the catch. The deflate and pack up is a bit different than normal and we have picked up a LOT of "lookie loos" along the way. We get the balloon back in the bag and load up for the drive back to Keizer for the picnic.

Q: Backbone: Delete won't bind? I'm trying to bind one of my backbone views so that, when a model is deleted, it's removed from a different view as well.
Seems pretty straightforward, but I can't seem to get the destroy method to bind to the view. I can bind to changes or new models, but deletes just aren't triggering. I remember vaguely reading something about an eccentricity with binding to delete, but I can't remember what it was or, more importantly, how to get around it.
Any ideas appreciated. In short, if anyone could offer an example of binding a delete call to Relevant code below:
Source View
class BackboneDemo.Views.Tasks.ShowView

  # ...
  events:
    "click #mark_task_completed" : "markAsCompleted"
    "click #delete_task" : "destroy"

  destroy: () ->
    $('#contentArea').html('')
    $('#contentWrapper').css('display', 'none')
    @model.destroy()
    this.remove()
    return false

Edit: Still no joy. I've added more code below to show precisely where the issue is
Model
class MyModel extends Backbone.Model
  # ...

  destroy: () ->
    console.log 'this is getting hit'
    super

Target View
class TargetView extends Backbone.View
  # ...
  initialize:() ->
    _.bindAll(@, 'destroy', 'testmethod', 'render')
    @model.bind('destroy', @testmethod)

  testmethod: () ->
    console.log 'but this is not getting hit'

A: Solved. In case anyone else comes across this issue, the problem is with the backbone-rails gem and how it's destroy() function works. There's a pending pull request that solves the issue, but the short of it is:

*

*Ensure the collection is passed through to the view

*Replace the default destroy() code with this:
destroy: () ->
  getViewAndCollection = ((view) -> return -> {collection: @options.collection, view: @})(@)
@model.destroy()
  success: (model, response) ->
    vars = getViewAndCollection()
    vars.collection.remove model
    vars.view.remove()
   error: (model, response) ->
     # Whatever you want for error functionality
You can see more at the pending pull request here

A: Whats about this:
MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
    initialize: function(){
        this.model.bind('destroy', this.remove(), this)
    }

})

Joel Embiid struggling in return from COVID: 'I think it's going to take me a while'
At first, it looked as if Joel Embiid hadn't missed a step after his extended battle with COVID-19.
The Philadelphia 76ers star dropped 42 points in his first night back after a nine-game absence, and seemed completely fine.
But now that he's a few games in, Embiid knows his body isn't fully recovered. Wednesday's 88-87 loss to the Boston Celtics, where he shot just 3-of-17 from the field, was a perfect example of that.
"I would never use it as an excuse, but obviously I think it's going to take me a while to get back, especially legs and cardio and all that stuff," Embiid said, via ESPN. "But every single day I got to keep working hard and keep getting better."
Embiid: 'I really thought I wasn't going to make it'
Embiid entered the league's health and safety protocols on Nov. 8, and ended up missing nine games after testing positive for the coronavirus.
That battle, he said after returning to the court for the first time on Saturday, was a harrowing one.
"I really thought I wasn't going to make it," he said. "It was that bad. I'm just thankful to be sitting here. I struggled with it, but I'm just glad that I got over it and I'm just here doing what I love with some good people."
Though he put up 42 points and 14 rebounds on Saturday in their double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, he's struggled in their two games since. Embiid has shot a combined just 7-of-33 from the field in Monday's game against the Orlando Magic and on Wednesday against Boston.
He did have 13 points with 18 rebounds against the Celtics, so it's not like he's been completely useless. Embiid, though, is still being hard on himself.
"I can't be playing the way I've played these last two games, especially when it comes to shotmaking," he said Wednesday, via ESPN. "If teams are going to double me and I'm not going to get easy baskets, I have to create for myself and my teammates, and I've got to make those shots."
While Embiid will almost certainly find his game again, coach Doc Rivers knows they have "got to get Joel going" in order to keep the team moving in the right direction.
Rivers just doesn't know how long it's going to take. When it comes to recovering from the coronavirus, that timeline is always unknown.
"Everybody with COVID, I just don't know those answers," Rivers said, via ESPN. "Some guys come back quickly and play pretty well, a lot of guys have played the one great game when they've come back and then gone into a little fog.
"You could tell he's definitely struggling getting going. Yeah, we've just got to keep playing him and letting him play through it."

The two meet by accident when Man Ling thinks Jiang Yu is the absolute last blind date Tou Wen will set her up on, while Jiang Yu thinks Man Ling is an artiste that he has to piss off to cut ties with his parents charity. Wanting to prove to her dad and Tou Wen that this blind date won't end with her flipping the table, she holds her temper while taking insults from Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu, seeing how he isn't getting any reactions from Man Ling, decides to flip the table and end their meeting. Mad that Jiang Yu had insulted her, Man Ling decides to stalk him outside the men's room and give him a beat down.

Once their confusion is cleared that he isn't really her blind date and she isn't the artiste mooching from his charity, the two make a deal where he will teach her how to act and dress like the rich in exchange for her paying him.

Ronan Pensec is one of the most renowned cyclists of the 80s. His goal is to make it possible for cycling enthusiasts to make their most precious dream come true: to be a spectator and a participant of the greatest cycling race in the world.
Here is a selection of upcoming cycling tours and holidays. New tours are about to be launched soon..


The company has a clear plan for the next decade, and it's not entirely what you would expect.
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) has a clear vision for its future, and it's not shy about sharing it with the public.
The company welcomed the global development community to its annual F8 Developers Conference in San Francisco April 12-13. CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the event with a keynote speech that was heavy on forecasting. He shared details on not only his plan for Facebook's next 10 years, but also where he believes the world will be going in that time period.
It was an interesting two days that offered investors strong insights into the company's future. Here are seven key takeaways from the event.
While Zuckerberg's company hasn't been as blatant as rival Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) when it comes to altruistic efforts, Facebook does have some plans that aren't clear moneymakers. The most important of those involve the company's efforts to use drones and antennas to connect the parts of the world not served by the Internet.
That's perhaps not as altruistic as some of Alphabet's efforts, but even if Facebook eventually benefits from having more customers, it's going to cost it a lot of money to get the entire world online -- which was one of Zuckerberg's stated goals.
The CEO's keynote was built around the idea of the company's having a 10-year road map. That starts with its core platform and then branches into its other apps such as Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram. Beyond that, it moves into delivering global connectivity and emerging platforms such as virtual and augmented reality.

While Facebook's move to split Messenger off from its main app was met with more than a little skepticism, it's clearly worked, as the app is one of the most used on the planet. Messenger was one of the stars at F8, with Facebook announcing Messenger Platform, which lets anyone create bots for the app. Essentially, this is a set of tools designed to let businesses use the platform to communicate directly with their customers. That could become a big deal, as companies have increasingly turned to social media for customer support. With these new tools, Messenger becomes a better option for that than rival Twitter.
While he never directly said his name, Zuckerberg opened his speech with an impassioned plea that clearly targeted the Republican front-runner.
The CEO called Facebook's mission "bringing people together," and he lashed out at "fearful voices" that talk about "building walls, distancing people they view as others."
One of the key planks in Zuckerberg's 10-year plan was the idea that people would be able to share anything with anyone. By "anything," he explained that he expected full virtual-reality experiences to make sharing something like a baby's first steps well beyond what it is now.
Sometimes we want to talk to just one friend. Sometimes we want to hang out with a few friends. Sometimes we have something that we want to share with all our friends, with all our co-workers, or with an entire community, like marathon runners or Golden State Warriors fans. And sometimes we want to share something with the whole world.
Facebook wants people to share new kinds of video and images on its platforms. For that to happen, consumers need access to technology to make those videos and images. To facilitate that process, the company announced that it will make the plans for its Surround 360 camera available on an open-source basis to any company that wants them.
The Surround 360 camera consists of 14 cameras arranged in a ring with overlapping fields of view, GeekWire reported. It also has another wider-angle fish-eye lens camera on the top and two more on the bottom for a full sphere of coverage.
Because Facebook doesn't own an operating system, it loses out on the cut of revenue that Alphabet's Google, as one example, makes when someone buys an app in its digital store. Attacking that issue is a very long-range goal, because the initial bots inside Messenger won't pay the company any fees.
Bots inside Messenger could, in theory, take away traffic from Google as well, since companies may answer queries directly that previously would have run through the search engine. It's a fledgling idea from Facebook, but if it works, it brings companies and consumers closer together in a way that bypasses Google entirely. That could be huge, and there's every reason to believe Facebook will succeed with it simply because it's a more logical system than forcing people to hunt for info while sifting the good from the bad.


Do you ever get nostalgic about the wonderful sailing days with family and friends? Those long sun-filled holidays on open water. Sweet memories. You can relive those days with our Legends Reborn.
What legends are we talking about?
Your yachting days with your parents have gone. But you are still here. And so are the yachts: getting older and a bit worse for wear, but beautiful as ever underneath. Those are the Legends we are talking about. Wouldn't it be great if they could have a new lease of life? Rebuilt – reborn, even – with more comfort and luxury for you, but with all the love and respect their history deserves.
We will bring you childhood sweetheart back to life by first stripping her back to the bare essentials and then rebuilding her with all the trimmings you want. A new design that enhances the original look and feel, and adds the comfort, technology and performance you have come to expect. At Younique Yachts we can make it happen.
They're your memories. You know what it was like back in the old days, and you know what you want for the future. With you on our team we can rebuild your legend. Give us inspiration, share your ideas, work with us to make it happen. And if you change your mind while we are working on your yacht, that's fine. You can't know everything beforehand and we are flexible. The only things that are fixed are the price we agreed on and our quality standards.
At Younique Yachts we can help you with the design, engineering and project management; we also have years of experience with composites and aluminium.
And we are ahead of the field with our use of innovative materials (Corian furnishings, leather, 3D panelling). We will let you inspire us and build your yacht with you and for you, filling in the details in design and styling as the work progresses.
Of course it does. We believe that breathing new life into an old yacht is better than leaving it to rot in a ship graveyard somewhere. That way we do not only honour great legends but we also do our part for a sustainable future. At Younique Yachts we try to add as little as possible to the ever-growing scrapheap and we replace the wood we use – certified wood, of course – by planting new trees in designated areas in the Netherlands.

Cashout your parking – a free election policy for the taking
Matt L | August 7, 2017 | 44 Comments
Yesterday we hit election silly season and transport was the first cab off the rank with plenty of infrastructure promises included. But along with the big ticket items, there's often a lot of small things that could be done to improve transport. So, here's a great little law change that could help ease traffic problems, boost public transport ridership, give most people a bit of extra money and potentially save employers a lot of money. It's called a "Parking Cash Out Law" and exists in California. Here's an explanation:
State law requires certain employers who provide subsidized parking for their employees to offer a cash allowance in lieu of a parking space. This law is called the parking cash-out program. The intent of the law is to reduce vehicle commute trips and emissions by offering employees the option of "cashing out" their subsidized parking space and taking transit, biking, walking or carpooling to work.
Basically, many employers provide parking for employees, either paying for it directly or using the space it is often a result of minimum parking requirements. The law requires large employers to give you the choice of subsidised parking or extra cash in hand of an equivalent value. This obviously removes a subsidy for those who choose to drive and offers a financial incentive for people to try other forms of transport.
A study of the law's impacts was undertaken by Donald Shoup, with the following key findings:
In 1992, California enacted legislation that requires many employers to offer employees the option to choose cash in lieu of any parking subsidy offered.
This report presents eight case studies of employers who have complied with California's cash out requirement. One employer is a government agency, and the other seven are private firms, including three law firms, one accounting firm, one bank, one managed care medical provider, and one video post production company. They range in size from 120 to 300 employees, with a combined total of 1,694 employees. The price of parking at the worksites ranged from $36 to $165 a month.
After cashing out, solo driving to work fell by 17 percent. Carpooling increased by 64 percent. Transit ridership increased by 50 percent. Walking and bicycling increased by 33 percent. Commuter parking demand fell by 11 percent. These mode shifts reduced total vehicle miles traveled for commuting by 12 percent, with a range from 5 to 24 percent for the eight firms. To put this reduction into perspective, reducing VMT for commuting by 12 percent is equivalent to removing from the road one of every eight automobiles used for driving to work. In total, cashing out reduced 1.1 million VMT per year. Cashing out reduced total vehicle emissions for commuting by 12 percent, with a range from 5 to 24 percent for the eight firms. To put this reduction into perspective, reducing vehicle emissions by 12 percent is equivalent to eliminating vehicle emissions for automobile commuting from January 1 to February 13 every year.
The eight employers I average commuting subsidy per employee increased from $72 a month before complying with the cash-out requirement to $74 a month after complying with the cash-out requirement. The employer's commuting subsidy declined by $70 per employee per month at one firm, and increased by an average of $13 per employee per month at the other seven firms, with a range from $8 to $33 more per employee per month. Employers praised the cash option for its simplicity and fairness, and said that it helped to recruit and retain employees. In summary, these eight case studies show that cashing out employer-paid parking can benefit commuters, employers, taxpayers and the environment.
The impact on travel and emissions is pretty staggering when you think about it.
In Auckland I think you'd see such a law playing out in two ways, depending on whether the jobs was in the city centre, Newmarket, Takapuna or other places where paid parking is common – or in other places.
In the city centre (and to a lesser extent Takapuna and Newmarket) parking is really really expensive to provide and therefore the cash out could end up being pretty significant. This could result in a fairly substantial modal shift to public transport (which is relatively good in linking the city centre with many parts of the city), reducing traffic on city centre streets and all the major motorways accessing the city.
Outside the city centre and other major centres, parking is cheaper to provide and until recently was forced to be provided through parking minimums. While this means the cash out is likely to be quite a lot smaller and may be less likely to be taken up, for those who can walk, cycling or take public transport to work they will be able to at least receive some form of incentive to make this choice. The businesses in turn will be able (now that parking minimums have largely disappeared) to reuse all that asphalt for more productive uses so also win.
Making this law change seems like such a no brainer, with major benefits and seemingly no losers (aside from some administrative costs). It's also a pretty non-partisan type of law change so could be picked up by any party.
Cargill_Street says:
Or the government could impose a fringe benefit tax on parking, as they do on other fringe benefits. Peter Dunne tried doing this a few years back as Minister of Revenue, got hammered by the unions AND business groups, then kowtowed to these vested interests.
Totally agree, A levy should be introduced on all commuter parking spaces in the CBD (& anywhere else with peak congestion) until such time as the government gets its act into gear and rolls out congestion tolls.
Shouldn't be limited to a location. Providing a car park (or any substantial perk) as part of employment is a fringe benefit, which needs to be taxed in line with other fringe benefits.
Camryn Brown says:
It's not a perk though. By providing a park, the employer imposes an expectation that you will buy and have available a vehicle for business use during the day… an asset the business doesn't have to buy and can simply "rent" through mileage expenses. It's an anti-perk.
How do they stop people taking the cash and still driving but parking elsewhere?
Yeah it doesn't really work if there's abundant free off street parking. But in areas of dense employment it's a brilliant idea.
If there's other free parking available nearby, the cashout value will be essentially zero, so it's a non-issue. Otherwise, people could take the cash and park further away (e.g. at a park-and-ride) — that would be the policy working as intended.
Warren S says:
As our own building owners and employers we were forced 20 years ago to provide 39 parking spaces and the premises were designed accordingly with the required parking at ground level. To redesign and utilize the space in a more beneficial way is probably impractical. In other words the die was cast a long time ago.
While I agree with the sentiment, the practicality of using that tarmac in another manner is for us, very limited.
And I don't want to be penalized twice.
It won't suit the way every building/ parking arrangement is set up, but a Commercial building with surplus parking capacity could offer this for garaging for car share schemes etc. for the mushrooming city centre residential population, thus reducing the parking costs for new residential buildings. "Retiring" surplus parking effectively needs to be part of our future resilience planning. This could also support some of the existing parking-only buildings being fully replaced by more useful buildings.
Is there anything else that you could do to generate income from your at-grade carparks? Retrofitting the space could allow a bike repair unit, a food stall or two with associated seating and greenery, a pop+up store, a Christmes tree business, a weekly plant and produce market, a lunctime activity for nearby workers like a skate ramp or climbing frame… The sort of thing that might make for a walkable neighbourhood… Or a tiny house? 🙂
…mobile shoe repair and key-cutting truck, massage tent, swap meet, device advice …
Maybe………………very lateral thinking required………..?
Agree, almost a role at Council for a co-ordinator of the small businesses who might be interested…
Warren, I could do you a range of small tiny rental properties in lieu of your carparks, that you could rent out to people (either your employees, or others) so then you could make better use of your carparks, make better use of your employees time, make better use of your business investment money… etc. You know where to find me !
If you do end up doing something like this, Guy, please post about it. Cheers
As others have said, if you have valuable empty car parks in the city, it should be easy to lease those.
The idea has potential and would have the benefit of freeing up parking for those that actually do have a need to use it.
Outside of the city though it would have the unfortunate side-effect of having a lot of people try to park on the street (doing laps around the block trying to find a spot – thus increasing congestion and pollution).
Then price the on-street parking if it is over capacity. Simple. This way the council also gets a return on the huge cost of providing parking.
Linz says:
When I started my present job I was offered a car park or $3k cash out. I chose to walk to work and now 17 years later I am $51,000 ahead. Hidden subsidies for driving and parking are recipes for impoverishment.
Imagine living in a city where our poorest households did not need to have 2-5 cars because they had access to good walking, cycling and transit facilities.
It worked for our family, too.
I never had the option of parking, we simply don't have any. But because the business doesn't need to have any carparks, we have an awesome office on the best street in town for a very reasonable lease. An bike racks and bottomless booze on Friday because nobody is driving home…
I had a "cheap" small car a few years ago that I only used to get to and from work. Every time it needed a wof or a service there was always something that needed fixing. The yearly maintenance bills added up to more than the car was worth. When I switched to catching the bus I sold it and haven't looked back.
Sounds like a good idea.
An alternative approach is to make Publish Transport fares tax deductible
awesome idea, I dont own a car but my colleagues who all drive get 'free' parking. All for removing hidden subsidies to the motorist. Id like to stop subsidising people who get 'free' parking at the supermarket too. My groceries should not pay for somebody elses carpark.
Jon_K says:
I'd be curious to know why some businesses provide free parking. My last employer had to provide about a dozen secured parks for late shift / night shift staff (safety reasons). I had a free (anytime) park for most of my tenure not because of any need, but due to negotiation before my time adding such to the standard contract.
For some portion of my time there, we were based in a building where they couldn't afford enough parks, so they gave me cash out (at a trifling rate I might add) until we relocated to a different building – At which time, the old contract conditions were reinstated.
If at any time I elected not to use my car park, I wasn't able to get a cash out. It would've been an opportunity lost. FWIW I did use the car park most days as I was also taking my partner in the same direction, or on crazy shifts where public transport simply did not work.
Tom Jackson says:
Car parking is one of those perks that continues until someone has a clever idea like cash-out.
I'm aware of a Newmarket based business that has a large car park, plus subsidises off-site car parking to staff that don't have a park on site. Yet it's a 6 minute walk to Grafton train station and all the buses on Park Road. No cash out on offer.
Yes that's just the blind leading the blind…
Great idea, since employer already pay for carpark either though renting or property they own, release unwanted carpark would either means less cost, or release unneeded capital cost.
There should be no bottomline changes to employers.
The Real Matthew says:
You're right about the silly season starting up. National proposing a NW Busway which should have been built as part of the NW widening project and Labour proposing Light Rail to the airport gtaking 43 minutes from town when the norm is a 25 minute trip via the motorway!!
This is one of those ideas that sounds really good on paper but in Auckland would translate to very little. The employees who have parking spots in the city are those right at the top of organisations. These people are typically working long hours with little standardisation and are also required to have a car on hand for work purposes.
Whilst I think this idea has merit I don't see it translating to a meaningful adjustment in traffic levels.
In my experience of CBD law firms, the people at the top have the carparks, as you say. They don't work longer hours than the up and coming lawyers. And noone wants to borrow their car for their work outings because they are too expensive and scary to drive. The next layer down in the organisation also get car parks, and it is these cheap cars that get used for work purposes and that actually warrant having the parks at all.
"when the norm is a 25 minute trip via the motorway!!"
When do you ever manage that?
Well, cars are fast outside rush hour. I measured 35 minutes from the North Shore last time so 25 minutes from the CBD sounds about right.
Google maps is saying 33 minutes right now, with virtually no traffic.
Aucklanders habitually underestimate standard driving times, most often by only including time on the motorway or major arterials.
Most importantly with regards to TRM's comment, in order to achieve this, you would need to spend $85 on a cab instead of $4.85 on the LRT. I'm not willing to spend 17 times as much to save 24% of journey time.
Google Maps shows 25-27 minutes for off-peak travel from the CBD to the airport via the Waterview tunnel.
If you're paying $85 you need to change taxi companies. Even including the airport surcharge thats excessive to say the least.
Orren says:
I got 25 mins from the north shore to the city via the watrview late last night
As an alternative to cashing out, can't AT make it easy for companies to bulk buy monthly ATHop passes for employees. In. A similar way to health insurance. That would directly encourage usage. It'd also probably be more cost effective for businesses than paying for employee parking.
At a work place I was at a few years ago we shifted to a new building. At the time management was concerned that their wasn't enough parking at the new site. So much so that they rented out space for around 20 car parks 10mins walk away. Initially it was used by around 10-12 cars a day. After a couple of months it dropped to half that. Within about 6 months it was no longer needed.
We did have a couple of people leave whose positions weren't refilled but mostly it was a result of people using other transport options, working from home etc.
I switched from driving to catching the bus. The bus stop was 3 mins walk from work, so much closer than the overflow car park at 10mins walk.
My old job was next to the Ellerslie railway station. I lived in Botany and often finished after trains/buses stopped running (aka 10pm).
I hated driving. If PT was better I'd have been all over it.
Frequent all day services with the last bus at 1145 both ways starting 2018. The new network is going to really help a lot of this.

Excellent. However I now live in Hamilton so that horse already bolted for me….
Also good would be to allow employers to pay for an employees monthly public transport pass and deduct that from their pre-tax income. That would encourage a lot more people to use PT.
That happened in Prague (with annual passes, which AT should offer) and it was very popular.
Even better would be a scheme whereby an employer buys the employee an electric bike and that cost is deducted from pre-tax income.

A skilled belly dancer should have the ability to flow in and out of movements with seamless transitions, in a fluid and interconnected manner. He or she should also be able to punctuate accents in the music with different emphases, from sharp attacks to softer, almost drifting pauses in which the energy keeps flowing from the dancer's body. In this brand new workshop taught by Sa'diyya, you will learn the body mechanics of achieving these types of movements, as well as the mind-set needed to exhibit this high contrast quality of being able to "Float Like a Butterfly, & Sting Like a Bee."
This class has something for everyone!!! Vanessa will outline the different "faces" and styles of the Egyptian Raqs Sharki--as well as delve into Baladi, Shaabi and even Folkloric compositions, and explain why certain steps are appropriate for certain pieces of music, vocabulary of movement(and the differences /similarities between genres) as well as costuming choices. Students participating in this special workshop are encouraged to come with questions regarding these topics, and Vanessa will be happy to share her knowledge and experience with you every step of the way! Come and see which "Face" is your favorite!
Limited to just 6 students, this Intensive will focus on performance skills for solo performers. Both Vanessa and Sa'diyya will offer their expert tips to each attendee after viewing a short solo dance by each participant (so be prepared to present either a choreography or improvisational dance). Along with receiving immediate feedback in a semi-private lesson setting, the duo will present a variety of challenges meant to enhance performers' abilities to tap into stage presence, emotion and charisma!

Harper's Tories to face off against Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition in early May
The federal government led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper has fallen and we'll be going to the polls in early May, likely May 2 or 9. The Conservative minority government lasted for about two and a half years, which I believe is pretty good for a minority government in this country. That's one real negative of minority governments: they seldom last a full term of four to five years.
There seems little doubt PM Harper will have to win a majority of seats to remain in power—a Liberal-NDP coalition with some sort of participation by the separatists Bloc Québécois will make sure of that.
Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe points to a 2004 proposal in which the then opposition leaders were to write to the governor general as a group and remind her that opposition leaders were ready to try and form a government should the minority Liberal government under Paul Martin fall. Duceppe and New Democrat leader Jack Layton and, I suppose, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff would like us to see that rather simple letter as being a "coalition" agreement equivalent to the formal coalition agreement their three parties hatched up in 2008 to defeat the Tories.
The 2004 document is a far cry from the formal, official coalition proposed by Liberals-NDP and supported by written contract by the Bloc to support the Liberal-NDP coalition on confidence motions for 18 months. Cooperation between parties, as suggested in 2004, is a time honoured tradition in Canada, but is not a coalition in the formal sense as was envisioned by the opposition in 2008—far from it.
In late 2008, the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc Québécois signed an agreement with the following details:
As reported by CBC News Dec. 1, 2008: Liberal leadership candidates Dominic LeBlanc, Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae throw their support behind Stéphane Dion for a coalition government. (Tom Hanson/Canadian Press)
24 members of cabinet and Stéphane Dion as prime minister
18 Liberal cabinet ministers
6 NDP cabinet ministers
6 NDP parliamentary secretaries
The 2 caucuses would sit side by side in the House of Commons
The agreement between the NDP and Liberals would expire on June 30, 2011, unless renewed, and the Bloc committed for 18 months.
Nothing like that was ever proposed by the Tories in 2004. Neither Jack Layton nor any of his caucus were guaranteed a seat at PM Stephen Harper's cabinet table and the NDP caucus was not invited to sit side by side in the House of Commons.
To suggest equivalence between the two situations is misleading and mischievous and suggests a lack of integrity one finds distasteful in leaders of any stripe in Canada.
There's nothing wrong with a formal political coalition, such arrangements are quite within the Westminster tradition. The parties involved, however, owe it to voters to inform them during the campaign of their true intentions. I believe most Canadian voters would take a dim view of having hard-core socialists holding key federal cabinet posts with a separatist party guaranteeing the arrangement with support on non-confidence votes.
If Canadians wanted socialists and separatists to control key cabinet posts and directly influence government policy, they'd vote to put them there. I believe a very large percentage of Canadians would worry enough about the quid pro quo of such a coalition that they'd vote in a way to avoid the chance of its formation.
To put it kindly, Michael Ignatieff has been circumspect regarding the likelihood of a coalition between his Liberals and the NDP or Bloc. Listening to Layton and Duceppe recently, however, there is little doubt they favour such a coalition.
I believe the ethical thing for Ignatieff to do now is to make an unambiguous statement clarifying his party's intentions in this regard. Simply put: does he intend to lead a coalition, yes or no.

The 3 opposition parties all ganged up on the cpc in the committees about Bev Oda,then they all voted against the budget,then the non-confidence vote.There's no way that this wasn't all planned.They wanted to make the govt look bad before they brought them down.The cpc party knew this.Soloman,Weston,and other bias media all said that it will always be remembered,as it was the first time a govt was found in contempt.Yes,it'll always be remembered by us and the cpc,and the opposition will never be forgiven for trying to ruin the cpc by their lies.

Imagine if the NDP win more seats than the Libs! Jack Layton as PM.
Rotterdam March 25, 2011 at 7:24 PM
He is not ruling it out.
What will it mean:
1. Higher demands from Quebec

Bankruptcy, resulting in IMF bailouts like in Greece and Portugal.
I really really doubt this contempt of parliament horse crap will get any traction. If it does I'll eat my hat. Canadians don't want this election and once they start to put it together what's really going on here Iggy will pay the price.


Over the last six months or so I've come to the realisation that adopting a fully whole food plant-based diet is for me, the most effective and genuinely healing thing I can do to treat my disease. This is not just my opinion, although I do believe sincerely that it's true, it's also based on science – a great deal of science developed over a very long period of time, significantly over the last hundred years or so, but aspects of it go back thousands of years.
Hippocrates (fifth century BCE) is misquoted as saying "let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" or "let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food". Historically despite these misquotes, based on my own humble research it does appear that food played a major part in his teachings and his treatment of patients, along with the medicines of the time.
Over the last hundred years or so food/dietary modifications have been increasingly used to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease with great practical success. Over the last few decades, and more recently, the science has caught up and has demonstrated both correlative and causative evidence that it's the consumption of animal foods (also trans-fats, added oils, and highly processed junk foods) that cause many of the most common UK (and worldwide) chronic (and often fatal) diseases. It has also demonstrated that most of these chronic diseases can be prevented, treated, and some can even be reversed using a whole food plant-based diet with low added salt oil and sugar.
Today, in my mind, there's no doubt that animal 'foods' and highly processed foods (including vegetable oils and fats), play the largest causative and facilitative role in the development of our chronic diseases. I also have no doubt that the only way to successfully prevent, treat, and reverse most of our chronic diseases; is to adopt a whole food plant-based diet with low added oil, salt, and sugar.
The most important thing we have to do in order to achieve health and prevent chronic illness is to make the wisest diet and lifestyle choices based on the scientific evidence, our own experience, and that of previous and current pioneering doctors, scientists and practitioners. To name just a few; Dr Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Benner, Walter Kempner MD, Nathan Pritikin, Dean Ornish MD, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr T Colin Campbell, Dr John McDougall, Dr Michael Gregor, Dr Michael Klaper, Dr Doug Lisle, Dr Joel Fuhrman, Dr Neal Barnard, Dr Alan Goldhammer and so many more. Reading what these doctors have to say and watching their videos on YouTube is a wise use of time, whether you currently have a chronic disease or want to avoid developing one or more of them in the future.
All of these doctors spanning over a hundred years of clinical practice, scientific research, and evidence-based medicine, are in agreement that diet plays the largest role in the development of chronic disease and also in its prevention and reversal. All of them promote a largely whole food plant-based diet, and most of them recommend an entirely whole food plant-based diet. Some recommend a higher raw food intake, some recommend a cooked starch base, and there are variations in macronutrient recommendations; fat protein and carbohydrate. Regardless of these variations, all have used, or are currently using food/dietary (predominantly a whole food plant-based diet) changes to treat chronic disease. It's clear to me that a whole food plant-based diet is the healthiest diet for human beings, it's far superior to any other diet or lifestyle I've tried in the last 40 years.
For anyone trying to halt or reverse rheumatoid arthritis or any related inflammatory disease, it makes sense to do everything we can to protect the health of our arteries, pancreas, gut etc., even though these are not the usual targets for treatment. Yes, our joints are inflamed, painful, and damaged, and we want to find ways of relieving the symptoms and reducing or reversing the damage. However, think about it, if we have poor circulation to our knees for example, then how can the necessary nutrients and oxygen reach those joint tissues effectively and how can the waste products from those joint tissues be removed efficiently?
I know from experience and research, that one of the most important controllers of disease activity i.e. whether you experience a flare-up or a partial remission or relief, is the balance between the speed of healing and the speed of the destruction caused by the disease. This is one of the reasons why my own rheumatoid arthritis became more aggressive later in my life because my overall health and my ability to heal declined. My ability to absorb nutrients and distribute them throughout my body quickly and effectively, declined. The amount of oxygen absorbed through my lungs and delivered via my red blood cells to all the tissues in my body declined. The efficiency of my organs and my overall ability to remove waste products declined; partly due to my age but mostly due to a few persistently poor diet/lifestyle choices (and massive emotional stress) and a reduction in physical activity (largely due to the pain and restriction caused by my rheumatoid arthritis).
Whilst I'm doing everything I can to heal my gut and to calm my immune system, it's obvious to me that I need to reverse the damage that I've done to my arteries, veins, and in particular the smaller capillaries that surround my joints. This will allow vital nutrients to more effectively permeate my joints and will also allow for the faster and more effective removal of waste products. This in turn should help to halt and partly heal the damage to my joints. I'm also doing significant cardiovascular exercise to help with this process. This type of exercise also helps with the general removal of waste products via the lungs, skin and kidneys.
One of the reasons I've removed added oils and fats from my diet is to help increase my insulin sensitivity and to improve my glucose uptake, since this in turn reduces overall inflammation and increases the energy to my muscles. By taking care of my organs and other systems in my body, I am in turn supporting my immune system and creating an environment which is more likely to lead to the remission of my rheumatoid arthritis.
Our dietary and lifestyle choices are in our hands, they provide us with the most powerful tools we have to prevent, treat, and in many cases reverse our chronic diseases. I believe that all chronic diseases, as I mentioned above, have a chronic and common cause which progresses over many years, starting in our childhood or perhaps even before we were born. This chronic cause is brought about by the choice of foods and drinks that we put into our mouths (or previously, those of our parents), the amount of external toxins that we expose ourselves to during our everyday lives, and other lifestyle choices that we make including the amount of exercise that we take and the amount of sleep that we are able to obtain.
It's important for me to treat my rheumatoid arthritis directly of course, by trying to reduce inflammation and by healing my leaky gut, however, I don't believe I would ever succeed in achieving another remission without improving the health of my whole body. I think this is true of all chronic diseases. Whether you have heart disease or diabetes for example; improving circulation, oxygenation of blood, more efficient removal of waste products, better absorption of nutrients from food and so on, will improve your chances of overcoming your disease. All of this can be better achieved by adopting a whole food plant-based diet free from animal derived foods, and low in added salt, oil, and sugar.
The common (and most powerful) determining factor in whether we suffer from, or prevent and reverse all of our chronic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, is our diet and lifestyle. Fortunately, it's something that we have almost full control over and with the right knowledge we can make choices that will help to prevent, treat and often reverse these diseases (depending upon where we are in our lives and our current disease status). Probably, we all have our unique trigger or triggers that bring about the first symptoms of our chronic diseases, for example genetics, trauma, stress, infectious diseases etc., but I believe that if we ate a whole food plant-based diet and made other health promoting lifestyle choices, these triggers would no longer be enough to tip us into a symptom producing disease state. In other words, I believe we would be able to quickly recover from these additional stresses or triggers if our lifestyle was a health promoting one.

If you wish to camp anywhere in the park, other than in developed campgrounds on the North Rim, South Rim, or Tuweep, you must obtain a permit from the Backcountry Information Center. The earlier you plan your hike and apply for permits, the more likely you will be to get the dates and itinerary of your choice. The earliest you can apply for a permit is the first of the month, four months prior to the proposed start month (see table ).
Each year Grand Canyon National Park receives approximately 30,000 requests for backcountry permits . The park issues 13,000 permits, and close to 40,000 people camp overnight in the backcountry at Grand Canyon. The majority of Grand Canyon hikers are here for the first time, and although many are avid hikers, they find that hiking the Grand Canyon is very different from most other backpacking experiences. They tend to react to the experience in one of two ways: either they can't wait to get back, or they swear they'll never do it again. Depending upon how prepared you are and what the canyon serves up at any particular time, your trip can be a vacation or a challenge, a revelation or an ordeal.
You will be hiking in a desert climate, where water and protection from the elements make the difference between life and death. Your trip begins at a high elevation (7000-8000 feet) and requires a bone-jarring descent at the beginning of your trip, when your pack is heaviest. You will face a long climb out when you are already tired. Grand Canyon National Park encompasses more than 1.2 million acres, the vast majority of the park is inaccessible due to the predominance of cliffs, and inhospitable to all but desert plants and animals. The Colorado River bisects the canyon; hikers can cross the river only at Phantom Ranch. If you choose to hike from rim to river to rim, you will have to deal with an elevation differential of more than 10,000 feet from start to finish.
If you are interested in guided hiking and/or camping trips, please contact one of the Hiking Guide Companies. Rangers recommend that you plan your trip well in advance of your arrival at the park, and when possible, indicate flexibility as to the dates and routes you request. Permit requests for popular hiking seasons - spring, summer, and fall - generally must be made as early as possible . While summer is definitely not the ideal time to hike in the canyon, it remains the busiest hiking season.
Despite the fact that canyon hiking is extremely demanding, requests for backcountry permits far exceed the use that the canyon's fragile desert environment can sustain without serious resource damage. Therefore, overnight camping in the canyon and in undeveloped areas along the rim is carefully monitored and controlled, and demand usually exceeds availability. Day hiking is a rewarding alternative if you are unable to obtain an overnight permit. Day hiking can be a safer and more enjoyable choice than an overnight trip into a difficult area that is beyond the capabilities of any single member of your group. Be sure to prepare for your day hike as carefully as you would an overnight trip, and do not attempt excessive mileages. Permits are not required for non-commercial day hikes.

In Remembrance: Damien Bona
Author: Edit Team
On January 29th, Damien Bona, noted author of several books about Hollywood and the Academy Awards, died after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 56.
Bona, who lived in New York City, recieved initial acclaim as the co-author of Inside Oscar: The Unofficial History of the Academy Awards. The book was considered the gold standard reference for information about the Oscars.
The Daily News reports, "[when] the book first appeared in 1986, critic Vincent Canby called it a giddy social history of our place and time, full of statistics and the kind of utterly trivial details that, taken together, somehow assume significance, like centuries-old graffiti scratched onto the base of the Sphinx.'"
Known for his irreverent witticisms and and his obsessive knowledge about the ins and outs of the Hollywood scene, Bona was "the media's go-to expert on the Academy Awards and their significance, especially during the annual run-up to the ceremony itself."
Bona also authored several other books about the movies, including Opening Shots: The Unusual, Unexpected, Potentially Career-Threatening First Roles That Launched the Careers of 70 Hollywood Stars and Starring Demi Moore As Hester Prynne: Hollywood's All-Time Worst Casting Blunders.
Bona grew up in New Milford, CT and received his undergraduate degree at Columbia University. He later studied law at New York University and was a lawyer for a time in New York City, but he committed himself to writing after his first book was published.
He is survived by his long-time partner, the writer and theater director Ralph Peña.

Biden's former 'Minister of Truth' was a disinformation expert who took part in NATO-funded operations to deceive Europeans
The Biden regime chose Nina Jankowicz to head up the new 'Ministry of Truth' earlier this year for a reason: She is an expert in spreading disinformation, which also made her the perfect person to spread it.
What's more, she has had extensive experience in spreading lies and misinformation, much of it on the U.S. taxpayer's dime.
An extensive report from Revolver News in May exposing Jankowicz's role in these operations, which have been in place since at least 2015, noted her recent claim that there is no "deep state" was part of her modus operandi — that is, she lies for a living.
"Talking about the deep state and things like that which is a thread among conspiracy communities here in the United States, that there is this secret cabal here in Washington working to undermine the American people couldn't be further from the truth, as someone who works with and around these public servants every day," she claimed in a video clip posted to social media earlier this year.

— Maze (@mazemoore) May 2, 2022
Got that? The disinformation expert who was working on behalf of the deep state says there is no such thing so we should just believe her and move on. After all, she was from 'the government,' and 'the government' wouldn't lie to Americans.
As Revolver News continued:
Revolver News reports:
In fact, Nina does know the truth, and it's the opposite of what she claims above. Nina's name appeared in one of the most explosive and aggressively censored national security leaks of the century. The leak in question exposed the "Integrity Initiative," a dark government-funded NGO that appears to have engaged in political meddling and covert influence operations in Western countries under the guise of fighting "disinformation."
Founded in mid-2015 under the auspices of the U.K. government-funded NGO "Institute for Statecraft," the Integrity Initiative boasted a precociously fashionable motto: "Defending Democracy Against Disinformation."
The report further noted that the initiative claimed it "defended democracy" by recruiting secret "clusters" of national security bureaucrats, academics, think tank members and lobbyists in several countries in the European Union. Those groups would then get to work allegedly addressing nation-specific threats of so-called "Russian disinformation." The report also noted that the Integrity Initiative got funding from NATO.
"In its organization, funding, operation, structure, and rhetoric the Integrity Initiative is the single best template for understanding how the entire hornets' nest of NGOs, journalists, and 'national security' bureaucrats work secretly and in concert to wage psychological warfare against citizens of the West," Revolver News noted, explaining the function of the organization.
"One cannot understand how the Disinformation Industry functions without understanding the little-known (and now defunct) Integrity Initiative," Revolver News continued.
The investigative outlet's report added that while the initiative has since been disbanded, hackers leaked a massive trove of documents exposing its truly diabolical purpose.
Later, the report said that Jankowicz's name appeared in a 2018 leak as a member of the "inner core" of the Integrity Initiative's U.K. Cluster, and specifically in a subgroup that focused on Russia.
Her name appears in the same hacked document alongside that of far-left The Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum, who recently refused to explain why she and other 'mainstream' journalists agreed to take part in a coordinated cover-up of the incredibly scandalous information found on Hunter Biden's laptop that also involved his uncle, James Biden, and his father, now-President Joe Biden.

— The Chicago Thinker (@ThinkerChicago) April 6, 2022
After outing Jankowicz and the operation she took part in, Revolver News then made some key points about the initiative.
"First, we note the sinister irony that the NATO-funded Integrity Initiative, whose ostensible purpose is to 'Defend Democracy Against Disinformation,' was caught red-handed conducting a secretive influence operation to meddle in the internal politics of Spain, a democratic NATO member," the site reported.
"Second, we note how crucial — indeed, indispensable — the social media platform Twitter was to the influence operations in question. It is precisely the importance of Twitter as a theater for U.S., U.K., and NATO backed psychological influence operations that informed our analysis of Elon Musk's attempt to purchase the platform," the outlet noted further.
Revolver News said that it's not hyperbole or exaggeration to describe Musk's threat to bring free speech and transparency to Twitter as a "declaration of war" against the global deep state regime. As the initiative's use of the platform reveals, Twitter is used often by U.S.-aligned intelligence agencies to conduct influence operations both within and outside the country because it is literally friendly ground, and that far outweighs its nominal value as a technology company.
Two more points on that front:
— On Wednesday, the regime decided to shelve the phony "Disinformation Governance Board" that it was going to use for domestic influence operations because of the public outcry. Also, Jankowicz resigned, meaning she (and the impetus behind the board she was to lead) are likely going to be retasked elsewhere.
— Musk is aware they are coming for him, though for now, he went through with his bid to buy Twitter and is already making substantial changes. After revealing that some 20 percent (or more) of the accounts on the platform are bot accounts used for disinformation and to drive narratives, he claimed — on Twitter — that the deep state was set to move against him, which he framed as just a political attack.
"In the past, I voted Democrat because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold," he tweeted after noting, cryptically, earlier in the day: "Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months."

Q: Make mouse move via a virtual mouse device (none Xorg) My goal is to remap a physical device (Aimtrak Lightgun) which acts like a mouse, towards different button input (the X,Y are fine).
Currently the trigger registers as a right mouse click, but I want this to become a left mouse click.
I did follow the evdev tutorial, adjusting the "create uinput" and "injecting" parts.
There is no error, but the mouse is not moving or the button is not clicked.
So it would be fine to grab the device and control all the input.
But I am unable to make it work.
Any other approach is also welcome.

Vin Diesel Fights Back Tears As He Pays Tribute To Paul Walker At People's Choice Awards
by Paul Sacca January 7, 2016 7:59 am
Vin Diesel was fighting back tears as he gave a heart-wrenching tribute at the People's Choice Awards to his fallen Fast and Furious costar Paul Walker.
On Wednesday night, Diesel was accepting two awards for Furious 7, favorite movie and favorite action movie. However, Diesel got caught up in a whirlwind of emotions after reflecting on how difficult it was to film the movie after Walker's death in a 2013 car crash.
Diesel was visibly shaken and choked up during his acceptance speech as he remembered his close friend.
Vin Diesel accepts the award for Favorite Movie and Favorite Action Movie for Furious 7. #PCAs https://t.co/s00lcjGdg2
— People's Choice (@peopleschoice) January 7, 2016
"You know, as I was coming up here, I always do this. I say I'm not going to get emotional about, you know, winning these awards, and I was cool when I was sitting in my seat, and then they handed me two awards. One for favorite action movie and one for favorite film. You all thought that this was your favorite film. I think of Dom and Brian and I start to think of Paul. They said to make this short and sweet, so I will try to make this short and sweet. It was a labor of love. My only message to you is you'd be amazed what you can do with love. You'd be amazed at how powerful a force that is. When we didn't want to come back to filming when the tragedy was too heavy, it was the love of everyone combined that saw us through to the end."
The 48-year-old actor thanked fans and Universal for their support since he stepped into a producer role for the franchise 10 years ago.
"I'm up here accepting this on behalf of my producing partner, Neil and myself. They've supported me all along as I kind of crazily told them we could get to Fast and Furious 10 with the true story and with integrity and with a multicultural theme and a multicultural family."
"It's just pure fans saying how much they appreciate our work, and that means the world to me," Diesel said before invoking Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again." "And I thank you so much and the only thing I can say now, 'It's been a long day without you, my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.'"
