Lake Effect's Bonnie North with artist Rafael Salas.
Wisconsin-born artist Rafael Salas grew up on a farm. And those rural landscapes still find their way into his paintings and installations. But so does a lot more, as he explores many genres of art with his students at Ripon College and in his own studio.
Salas describes his current projects as depicting "natural occurrences as well as man-made events and architectur,e which complement and conflict." It's work that is currently on view through late February at Latino Arts in an exhibit called Pastoral Testimony.
Salas' own art practice is admittingly "schizophrenic," moving from three dimensional to paintings, from installations to abstract art. This change in his work is often influenced by his experience teaching other artists and helping them find their best interests. "I will help them find artists and outlets that work for them, but then along the way I get interested," Salas explains.
"Artists, I think in general, often are kind of in their own minds, and so being in the studio by myself with a challenge at hand is really one of the most interesting things that I do," he adds.
For Salas, connecting with his Mexican-American heritage is "kind of a can of worms." In the past, he never approached his artwork through the lens of cultural identity because of his background growing up in a small town populated mostly by white people. Salas was considered Mexican, but he did not speak Spanish and often felt displaced in both the white and Mexican-American communities.
Now, however, Salas is more comfortable and able to use his identity to establish a better reflection of himself and his work's motivation.
Salas notes that whether his art is shown in a Latino community, in a college gallery or in the Third Ward, the artwork itself should always take precedence along with each individual's interpretation of it.
From April to July of 1994, members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east-central African nation of Rwanda murdered as many as 800,000 people, mostly of the Tutsi minority. Started by extreme Hutu nationalists in the capital of Kigali, the genocide spread throughout the country – resulting in death, displacement and distrust that would last long after the summer of 1994.
"After killing a million people in only 100 days, the country was in ashes, everyone was in pain," says Dydine Umunyana.
Della Wells was one of two people Milwaukee named as 'Artists of the Year' in 2016, and all you have to do is look at the scope and range of her body of work to understand why.
From large-scale paintings and collages to pillow dolls that would fit in your pocket, the Milwaukee native explores her blackness and her gender through her art.
It's been a few months since Marcelle Polednik took over as the new director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. But her appointment to such a prominent role in the Milwaukee cultural scene is attracting plenty of attention.
Milwaukee Magazine's editor, Carole Nicksin, is also a recent addition to the scene, and she had the chance to profile Polednik in the November issue.

Ida May Fuller (* 6. September 1874 in Ludlow, Vermont; † 27. Januar 1975 in Brattleboro, Vermont) war die erste Person in den USA, die Leistungen aus der 1935 gegründeten Rentenversicherung (Social security) erhielt.

Ida May Fuller wurde auf einer Farm geboren und wuchs in einfachen Verhältnissen auf. Sie arbeitete zunächst als Lehrerin, bis sie 1905 eine Stelle als Rechtsanwaltsgehilfin annahm. In diesem Beruf arbeitete sie für den Rest ihres Lebens. Sie war unverheiratet, hatte keine Kinder und lebte die meiste Zeit alleine. Lediglich in ihren letzten acht Lebensjahren wohnte sie bei ihrer Nichte.

Im Jahre 1935 gründete Präsident Roosevelt im Rahmen des New Deal die Rentenversicherung. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte es in den USA keine staatliche Rentenversicherung gegeben. Frau Fuller zahlte ab dem 2. Quartal 1937 einen Anteil von 1 % ihres Einkommens an Steuern und Sozialabgaben (Payroll tax) und entrichtete so bis zum Eintritt in den Ruhestand am 4. November 1939 insgesamt $ 24,75 an Rentenbeiträgen.

Nach dem Eintritt in den Ruhestand erkundigte sie sich bei der zuständigen Verwaltung der Rentenversicherung in Rutland County, ob ihr irgendwelche Zahlungen zustünden und erhielt dann am 31. Januar 1940 als erste Person in den USA einen Rentenscheck, über den Betrag von $ 22,54.

Bis zu ihrem Tod im Alter von 100 Jahren erhielt sie einschließlich der späteren Rentenerhöhungen eine Summe von $ 22.888,92 ausgezahlt, was im Verhältnis zu den eingezahlten Beträgen nahezu dem Tausendfachen entsprach.

Denmark wedding photographer – Nina & Thomas, preview.
I can't even begin to tell you how beautifully Nina and Thomas wedding weekend is carved in my memory. I remember thinking that all this talk about details around weddings is one of the most misleading trends of our century. I remember thinking that Nina & Thomas knew exactly what wedding details are about, the roll they play in a personal and cosy wedding, but also, how to keep them in perspective.
I felt really, really happy being around them, and the whole weekend was a photographers dream. Soulful and loving surroundings, beautiful and kind friends… I can't wait to show you day one. Coming soon.
Beautiful beautiful work. Such a dreamy feel to those portraits. She must love them!!
Waw! Beautiful Picture! Great work!

It all starts with a stellar first look! Julie & Michael's emotional moment set the tone for a warm, inviting wedding day at the Newberry Library. It was a day full of laughter, tears, and the kind of hugs you only get on a special occasion like this. One of the (many) reasons we love Newberry Library is the great mix of indoor and outdoor spots. Give us all of the classic architecture next to romantic gardens — it's a photographer's dream.
So much of wedding day success comes down to to the WHERE. With the Hilton, St. Vincent DePaul, and Newberry Library — Julie & Michael made all of the right choices! We talked to Julie a bit about what made her fall in love with these spaces, the perfect backdrops to a gorgeous day.
Without further ado — let's dive right in! Enjoy!
St. Vincent DePaul Church is a beautiful Catholic Church in Lincoln Park. Julie, an alumnus of DePaul University for undergrad, attended church here throughout her college days. After deciding to get married through the Catholic Church, we selected St. Vincent DePaul because of Julie's fond memories of the church community here in college and its lovely Lincoln Park setting.
And Newberry Library. What's your favorite part?
When Michael and I decided on a Chicago wedding, we knew we wanted a venue that would show off the city's beauty and life. We met in Chicago and both lived there for 6+ years and are excited to add our wedding to our list of memories in this place. We decided on the Newberry Library because of its beautiful event space and its location in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Michael and I both love the green space and architecture of the Newberry and its surroundings. Additionally, the Newberry Library itself has been a long standing part of Chicago's history. It is an independent research library established in 1887; we are excited for our guests to visit this downtown landmark.

War, defence, conflict, military, security, or peace economics: which is it?
Jurgen Brauer on the history of economic analysis of peace and conflict.
War, defence, conflict, military, security, or peace economics - which is it?
The terms war, defense, conflict, military, security, and peace economics each have had their own "season" of usage. Even though defence and conflict economics are the most prominent terms used today, all of them are often used synonymously, yet they should not be conflated, as each has a distinct history which gave rise to its use in the first place.
War economics was the commonly used term prior to 1945. As an academic and public policy topic, it addressed the economic causes and consequences of states at war. In historical analysis, it dealt specifically with the actual or potential violent contest among states over issues related to international trade and finance, especially among European powers. The analyses conducted at the time should not be called war economics per se, but should be considered part of the historical debates over the relative merits or demerits of the economics of international trade and finance. Interestingly, if sadly, the recent trade-related dispute between China and the United States has again raised the spectre of war due to trade issues.
Defence economics came into common use from the 1960s. In the United States, the former Department of War had been renamed Department of Defense and defence economics began to address practical economic aspects of managing a state's armed forces and the overall defense function of a country. It addressed itself primarily to the defence establishment within states and dealt with manpower, procurement, and defence logistics issues for instance.
Conflict economics also arose in the 1960s as well, but became more prominently and widely used term as from the 1990s. Rather than studying voluntary exchange, as traditional economics does, conflict economics studies possibilities of involuntary appropriation (coercion) at the intra and international levels, and today, overwhelmingly within the context of developing countries. As an academic enterprise, studies in conflict economics are often, but not exclusively, grounded on neoclassical microeconomic precepts and cover diverse topics such as civil war, rebellion, terrorism, and mass atrocities and often are only implicitly concerned with peace.
Military economics might be linked to the 1970s, but was used more prominently from the 1980s. It might be said to have "piggy-backed" onto defence economics, in the sense that it treated topics which, while related to the defence function of states, nonetheless transcended that function and affected other segments of society. Thus, studies in military economics explore the ramifications of defence, and war. For example, on manpower absorption away from civilian economic pursuits or budgetary tradeoffs when military expenditure crowds out education or health spending, and culminating in possibly adverse effects on nationwide economic growth at large. Thus, military economics frequently takes a system-analytic, macro-modelling view of the society-wide effects of defence and war.
Security economics dates from the early 2000s. The security economy, and hence security economics, comprises of economic activities affected by, preventing, dealing with, and mitigating insecurity. The purview is very broad, including organised crime, terrorism, cybercrime and cyberwar, biometric security, perimeter security at utility installations, or even gated residential communities and school campuses. In this, security economics carries strong resemblance to the economics of risk management and insurance.
Peace economics was used in the 1960s, but more so from the 2000s and 2010s. Its definition is unsettled, but in one rendition, it concerns the economic study and design of political, economic, and cultural institutions, their interrelations, and their policies to prevent, mitigate, or resolve any type of latent or actual violence or other destructive conflict within and between societies. It is normative and forward-looking, focusing on discovering and fostering conditions that make for stable and irreversible peace and could be deemed a branch of the economics of mechanism design. More than the other approaches, it begins to include behavioral and social network economics to think about the pressure and pressure release valves of the world system as a whole.
The continued study of the military and security sectors, of national defense, conflict, and war is certainly important, but on the whole, economists might do better to more deliberately than in the past, steer findings from these sorts of studies in the direction of extracting lessons for effective prevention of violent conflict, and hence, for stable, long-term peace.

Judges should modify court protocols, policies, and processes to support women and girl victims of violence
This can be done by:
Providing simplified, free-of-charge reporting procedures and specially-trained female court employees who exhibit a respectful demeanor. This will have a direct impact upon the number of victims who will apply for justice and who will continue to work with prosecutors to pursue crimes of violence.
Simplifying the procedures for accessing their courts. Rules for filing should be written in plain language and in as many languages as necessary.
Working with prosecutors and law enforcement to develop clear, written protocols with detailed best practice procedures for handling cases of violence against women and girls.
Implement a specialized docket for cases of violence against women.
Mitigating the harmful effects of a forensic system. Many victims of violence are required to obtain a forensic certificate from a medical professional as evidence of their injuries. The medical practitioner is charged with collecting, documenting, and preserving evidence of violence, taking a history of the assault, and providing an expert opinion as to the cause of the injuries, while at the same time providing the victim with necessary care and treatment. However, forensic doctors are often difficult and expensive to access, and can be hostile to victims of domestic and sexual violence. For many victims, the forensic examination is experienced as another type of assault, and the certificate requirement poses an insurmountable barrier to justice. This type of evidence should not be necessary to pursue a case, but should be made available for those who choose to access it. If possible, forensic doctors should be present at the initial appearance of the victim, along with police and the victim advocates, thus limiting the number of times she must repeat her account. Strategies to improve the forensic system's response to survivors include:
Abolishing the requirement of a police referral to a forensic examiner. This is often at additional cost to the victim and may cause delays which can result in evidence degradation.
Providing female forensic examiners trained to provide gentle and compassionate examinations.
Enforcing standardized protocols to create uniform practice and updated procedures among jurisdictions.
Preparing standardized protocols for examination of young girls.
Ensuring that examination rooms are comfortable and private.
Ensuring priority in triage systems so that prompt examination and treatment prevents degradation of evidence.
Providing forensic exams only when consent is given and is not conditional to police reports. Consent should be requested for each separate procedure.
Providing victims with explanations of necessary procedures in their own language or with assisted communication prior to the actual procedures.
Providing up-to-date tools for gathering evidence.
Using "early evidence kits" (a mouth swab and a sterile container for a urine sample) so that a victim can take liquids or food and use the bathroom without contaminating the evidence. This is particularly important if delays before the more thorough exam are common.
Providing proper storage of evidence so that the victim may decide to report at a later date with no fear that evidence has been destroyed.
Educating victims about the importance of prompt treatment for sexually-transmitted diseases.
Providing free-of-charge testing for HIV and follow-up care.
Offering free-of-charge prophylaxis for pregnancy.
Ensuring that all services, tests, and prescriptions are free-of-charge.
Providing victims with supportive care, including counseling and court support services, like that provided in Thuthuzela Care Centres.
Offering victims referral information for social services and follow-up care when care centres do not exist.
Providing victims with advocates from women's NGOs who will provide safety plans and follow-up support.
Ensuring that forensic practitioners understand the dynamics of sexual assault and are not judgmental with regard to the victim's clothing or whereabouts at the time of the assault.
Ensure that forensic practitioners receive training on evidence techniques involving DNA collection and how to protect the chain of evidence from tampering.
Providing forensic practitioners with training on differences between stranger and known-assailant sexual assaults, and how these impact the gathering and documentation of physical evidence.
Providing forensic practitioners with legal knowledge and prosecution techniques to better link exams with possible prosecutions; for example, documenting external injuries is important in predicting a prosecution (Kelly, 2005).
Using forensic nurses or other qualified personnel to extend the reach of forensic practitioners. In many countries, women seek private forensic exams even though free-of-charge public examiners exist, due to the fact that forensic doctors are extremely scarce (Pan American Health Organization, 2003).
Routinely educating other medical professionals on competent and sensitive forensic examination techniques for times when specially-trained forensic examiners are unavailable.
For more on forensic systems, see the Module on Health.
Central America – Study on victim choice of medico-legal service providers
A 2003 study tracked the reasons victims of sexual violence accessed particular service providers found that most victims (36.5%) chose providers closest to their homes. The second most important criteria for choice (31.5%) was the specialized service provided. Source: Pan American Health Organization, Situation Analysis of medico-legal and health services for victims of sexual violence in Central America, San Jose, Costa Rica. 2003
Providing clear guidance for and close supervision of court administrators. Court administrators include court clerks, administrative staff, bailiffs, and interpreters. Court administrators play an important role as the public face of the judicial system and the initial contact for members of the public. Judges should consider their administrative staff as key partners in promoting a fair, impartial, and accessible judicial system. Court staff should not receive bribes for making court dates or expediting proceedings. Judges should take part in drafting clear standards and policies for court administrators to use in the exercise of their duties, and judges should ensure that their staff is well-trained to execute these standards. Judges should monitor the actions of their staff to guard against corruption. All court policies should be streamlined with the goal of providing easy and non-threatening access to justice for claimants who approach the court system. Judges should ensure that court administrative staff understands violence against women and implications for the survivor and provides helpful information to all members of the public in a courteous manner regardless of the survivor's race/ethnicity, language/literacy abilities, sexual orientation or any other characteristics.
Hiring female administrative staff in all court locations. Judges should ensure that trained female administrative staff is always available to take complaints involving domestic violence, sex harassment, and sexual assault. Many women are reluctant to speak with male staff about these matters.
Including more women in their ranks at all levels of the judiciary. Judges can promote the idea of women judges at law schools and bar associations. Judges should publicize their acceptance of the idea of female colleagues.
Implement and monitor a system which keeps data on victim contact information secure. Only authorized court personnel should have access to this data.
Design a courtroom security system that has victim safety as its cornerstone. When victims know that courtrooms are secure, they will feel safe enough to risk confrontation with the perpetrator in a court of law. Judges can:
Provide separate waiting rooms with bathroom facilities for victims that are staffed by law enforcement personnel.
Provide escorts for victims and witnesses as they enter and leave the building.
Provide weapon detector systems or procedures as the public enters the building.
Set up courtrooms with victim safety in mind. There should be adequate space between parties, multiple exits, and bailiffs on duty for every hearing.
Develop guidelines for an immediate response to violence or threats of violence. These guidelines should incorporate emergency evacuation procedures, a lockdown of the building, sequestering victims, witnesses, and juries, and the detention of violent offenders.
Train all staff on emergency response procedures. Update the training on a regular basis.
Inform staff that strict adherence to security procedures is essential to their employment.
Order victim and witness protection.
Provide swift and appropriate consequences for acts or threats of courtroom violence (National Advisory Council on Violence Against Women and the Violence Against Women Office, 2001).

Among all the choices that Windows 8 offers for developing Windows Store apps, only DirectX and C++ give you the "down-to-the-metal" performance and flexibility available on modern tablets and PCs. This session will show you how to integrate Windows Store app features in your C++ and DirectX app. We'll cover things like creating an app bar, API support for monetization, handling live tiles and notifications, and registering Process Lifetime Management (PLM, or suspend and resume) events. And we'll also talk about the basics that are required for any app that includes DirectX.
Not sure if the presenter did't do his homework but the FreshPaint app infact uses XAML! They Use XAML for all the UI controls like app bar or panels. In those XAML apps, they render the DX content.
Where is pptx (Power Point presentation) from the video?
The speaker seemed very nervous, stuttered a lot, and made body noises into the mic a lot (coughing, sniffing, drinking).
The information is presented in a strange, unintuitive order.
The speaker is giving out false information about FreshPaint (it uses XAML for many parts of the interface components).
As @Damiein and @babelshift mentioned, FreshPaint does indeed use XAML for many parts of the UI. I apologize for that! However, the information presented in this talk is still very much useful to anyone getting started with DirectX/C++ for their Windows Store App.
I agree with what babelshift said about the speaker. It seems that the speaker did not know well about the topic he was speaking. A very bad presentation about a very good topic. I hope someone else from the DirectX team covers the topic later.

This is a 1988 Volvo 245 wagon- automatic transmission with the third row seat. Body is rust free. This Volvo is in pretty good shape for an almost 30 year old vehicle. It runs awesome and drives great. I wouldn't be afraid to get in it and drive it out the state today. Tires have less than 1000 miles. Just had a full tune up and new battery. This car is like a time machine - super collectible. Owners are Volvo enthusiast.
Has it owner's Manual. Car has fading of paint, windshield wiper motor stopped, right side molding removed (put inside), cracked interior plastic side walls and few other cosmetic items that come with being a 30 year old vehicle. But otherwise in really great shape. Roughly 192k miles, minor cracks in dash, cracks on on seats, non-smoker. Shop says it has over 50% of brakes left and all belts look great. I have had it for 10-11 years and still drive it work weekly. Back left vendor had a minor fender bender, but has been replaced and looks like new!The car has manual windows, radio/CD player, power locks and heated seats. A/C does not work but blower fan does. And it comes with a towing package!


Apr.. 5th. The day started out slow and I was running out of time on this 3/4 day trip. We caught bait and then caught a shark but the bait was hard to catch. Right before having to head home we caught double baits and turned that into double sharks.
April 4th. We targeted ono in the morning and caught two. We went to "The Grounds" and caught 3 tunas. Using some tuna meat for bottom fishing we went 1 for 2 and got this shark.
April 2nd. Just one ono today. The water was too rough to go to my bottom fishing spots. We didn't see much life out trolling on this short trip.
April 1st. This ahi tuna played an April Fools joke on us and ate the smallest lure behind the boat. It had only 40 lb. test line and the tuna weighed 75 lbs. It took an hour long fight to get it in and we thought we would break the line any moment. Who got fooled? We also did some speed jigging and caught and released 3 amberjacks.
Mar. 28th. The tunas wouldn't bite today but the mackerel did. I used the mackerel for bottom bait and got this shark.
Mar. 26th. One of the best things in life is fresh tuna. One went to the dinner table and the other one went to a sushi bar.
Mar. 25th. Another successful trip with an amberjack and a shark because bottom fishing is almost always successful.
Mar. 22nd. It didn't take long to find some bait fish and I tried live baiting the surface for a while with no luck. I knew dropping live bait to the bottom would most likely get us some fish. I didn't know that all 3 would be sharks. The first one was only about 50 lbs. The next one was close to 200 lbs. and the last one at 150 lbs. broke leader before getting a good pic.
Mar. 18th. Soon after finding a couple of mahi mahi (got 1 lost 1), the wind came up and we had to leave the area. Later in the day next to the fish farm, we scored this ono.
Mar. 15th. The kids caught bait fish and dad hauled in an amberjack using that bait.
Mar. 12th. Not many fish are being caught while trolling. Speed jigging is still working. We scored a double almaco jack, 2 on at the same time and a goat fish for the dinner table.
Mar. 11th. Since I had so much success jigging last week, and the trolling bite wasn't working, I went to one of last weeks hot spots. We scored an almaco jack and an amberjack.
Mar. 4, 5, 7 and 8. These guys came from Germany on a speed jigging expedition. Of course the spearfish was caught while trolling and so was one of the ahi tunas but we spent most of the time jigging. We caught 2 of the ahi jigging along with several almaco jacks. We also caught goat fish, hog fish and 2 different kinds of snapper.
Feb. 26th. Another "WOW" day. We got a spearfish trolling "in the blind" and then we caught an ono near the fish farm. I went to my bottom fish honey hole and we scored 2 sharks. Trolling for the rest of the day we picked up a mahi mahi.
Feb. 25th. The same spot where we caught and released 3 sharks just 3 days ago but today, we had to wait a long time to finally get one.
Feb. 22nd. I finally got my first spearfish of the season and we backed it up with a mahi mahi, both while trolling. The bottom bite was even better with the catch and release of 3 sharks.
Feb. 21st. A couple of shark catch and releases made for a fun time for this father and son team.
Feb. 14th. A small ahi tuna for the dinner table and a shark for the fight of it.
Feb. 7th. Again, these otaru tunas aren't even suppose to be around at this time of the year but for some reason, I keep catching them.
Jan. 31st. The tunas were biting near the offshore fish farm. We caught a combination of ahi and "chunk light" tunas.
Jan. 25th. Almost a duplicate of my last trip. A 100+ lb. amberjack and 2 sharks.
Jan. 22nd. The bait fish were easy to catch and the bottom bites were pretty much instant! The giant trevally was our first fish followed by a big amberjack and then a shark. Time to go trolling to rest up from all the action. We went bottom again and got another shark. We pulled hook on another fish. 2 bites while trolling but neither stuck.
Jan. 21st. This was a share charter with 2 couples. After catching some mackerel for bait I went to the bottom. We caught and released 2 sharks and had an amberjack bite. Then a tiger shark moved into my spot and everything we hooked up was instantly eaten by it so we went trolling for the rest of the day.
Jan. 18th. We spent most of this 6 hour trip trolling but it looked like if we kept that up, we were going to get skunked so I decided to do some speed jigging. We went 1 for 2 on amberjacks.
Jan. 15th. 100+ lb. amberjacks are rare and put up a very hard fight. This one was about 120 lbs. We released it and also a shark. I filleted the tuna for the dinner table.
Jan. 14th. A busy 3/4 day on the water. The tunas were a bit hard to catch but we managed a few. Sending tuna chunks to the bottom we scored a shark and an amberjack. Both photo'd and released. The two bigger tunas went to the dinner table.
Jan. 11th. While making bait for bottom fishing, a marlin ate one of our baits on the way in and got hooked. I knew we didn't have much of a chance because the marlin was well over 100 lbs. and the leader was only 50 lb. test. It broke off. We caught and released an amberjack. We also hooked a HUGE tiger shark but the hook pulled out before we could get it to the boat. We did see it though.
Jan. 10th. The water was rough up North and going South, I couldn't find any bait fish so we did some jigging. We caught 3 almaco jacks and we lost another 3 fish. One was so big it snapped the hook! We caught this otaru tuna ("Chunk Light") later while trolling.
Jan. 8th. OK, not every trip results in multiple fish or even big fish but i work hard to catch something. We caught and released this amberjack.
Jan. 4th. I seem to be on a roll. 3 marlin in 3 trips. We actually had 3 marlin on all at the same time on this trip. One came off right away. The 2nd one we got in the boat. The third one was on stand-up tackle and the marlin shook the hook out right behind the boat.
Jan. 3rd. A great way to start the new year! I went to one of the FAD's looking for tuna and found this marlin hanging around there but no tunas.
We went to another FAD and found a couple tunas but only got one in the boat.
Dec. 31st. A great way to wrap up 2018!
We were heading to one of the FAD's for some tunas when we caught this mahi mahi on a new lure that I had just rigged minuted earlier. Before I could even get all of the lures back out we hooked up this striped marlin. Good thing because there were no fish at that FAD. We later caught several small ahi tunas on another FAD. No luck bottom fishing.
Dec. 28th. These tunas shouldn't even be here at this time of the year but I've caught them on the last 3 trips and always in the same area. These tunas are mostly meat! We tried some bottom fishing also but didn't catch. That's also a rare event.
Dec. 27th. It's not the season for big skipjack tunas (aka 'chunk light') to be here and we had several hook-ups but most were biting light and coming off. We got 2 of them and a shark by putting fresh caught mackerel on the bottom.
Dec. 21st and 24th. After catching several small ahi tunas for the dinner table it was time to go after some bigger game. Shark of course.
On the 24th, the high North winds finally calmed down so I was able to go to my favorite fishing grounds. We found some bigger tunas there but didn't have any luck bottom fishing.
Jan. 3rd. Hitting up one of my new "honey holes". Mostly sharks in there.
Nov. 26th. We caught fresh bait and went to the bottom. I catch more sharks than anything else lately.
Nov. 23rd. We got into some 40 to 60 lb. ahi tunas and had a few bites but none of them would stick. Right after leaving the area we got hit on that same lure so I thought it might be an ahi but it turned out being a baby blue marlin about 60 lbs. that hadn't even grown a nose yet. I let it go so it would grow up. To the untrained eye, people might think this was a shortbill spearfish but I know better. We also caught and released this 100 lb. shark.
Nov. 20th. It was too rough to get to my favorite spot up North so I went to my favorite spot to the South. Patrick and his wife were looking for tunas to make ahi poke. They weren't disappointed. I also dropped some meat to the bottom and caught this almaco jack.
Nov. 16th. I went to my usual spot where I've been catching the otaru tunas and they weren't there. I decided to head to one of the FAD's and found the school way offshore. We went 3 for 4.
No one has caught any ono in quite a while here. Usually ono are caught near shore but we caught this one offshore.
We also went to a FAD where we caught a few small ahi tunas.
David wanted his wife to catch this tuna but it proved too strong fro her to get in so David had to finish the fight.
He also caught and released this shark.
Still the #1 catch of the day is tunas.
We only got one today on this 3/4 day trip but that's better than nothin'.
Nov. 6th. The otaru tuna bite is still going strong but soon the water temperature will cool down and they'll be gone.
We also caught some small mackerel to drop to the bottom and were rewarded with this shark.
Nov. 2nd. 100+ lb. amberjack are a rare catch with maybe getting one or two in a whole year. Today was a first!
We caught two over 100 lbs. back-to-back.
Oct. 30th. The tunas are still biting. We also caught and released a barracuda.
Oct. 29th. The tuna bite is going good up North. They're not showing on the surface much but they're there.
Oct. 23rd. The first fight of the day was a tuna that pulled hook right before it got to the boat. We got the 2nd one.
Sending a mackerel to the bottom we caught and released this shark. Not bad for a short trip.
Oct. 22nd. A busy day with lots of action. We had 2 marlin on. Got one and lost one. We got 2 tunas. One good size and the other, not so much.
Going to the bottom we went 2 for 2 with the catch and release of an amberjack and the 2nd fish is the biggest gray snapper I've ever seen.
We caught mackerel and sent them to the bottom where we scored a galapogos shark and a giant trevally.
Oct. 9th. Sharks are a specialty of mine. They're usually quite large and fight real hard. Shark identification can be a little difficult because they look so similar. I told Jim that his shark was a bignose shark (top photo) but after examining the photo close up, it turns out that it is actually a silky shark. The bottom shark is a galapogos shark.
Oct. 4th. Again it's the bottom fishing that got us the big ones. While trolling we caught some small tunas, the perfect bottom bait. First on the line was an almaco jack and next up was a sandbar shark.


For weeks now, something has been missing from my morning routine. Coffee. I made it through two pregnancies without developing a coffee aversion so it came as quite a shock when I walked into the kitchen one morning this summer and decided the smell of that freshly brewed energy was no longer my friend. Poor Shawn has been making and drinking his coffee alone ever since. His breath has also been unfairly subjected to the scrutiny of my pregnant nose. For a couple who met while working in a coffee shop and has always shared a love of coffee, this has not been a welcome change. However, this week we seem to have turned a corner, my tummy and I! I celebrated the return of coffee to my day with a batch of chocolate chip scones. Yum. Thankfully, I no longer crave caffeine the moment I wake up, but I can once again satisfy a craving for quiet morning moments with a warm mug of coffee in my hand.
I put a hold on that book at the library.
That scone looks wonderful. Did you make them?

Q: PySpark: Create Instants DataFrame from sequential observation dataframe Imagine you got a Dataframe containing value observations of variables. Each observation is saved as a triple Variable, Timestamp, Value. This layout is somewhat a "observation dataframe".
#Variable     Time                Value
#852-YF-007   2016-05-10 23:00:00 4
#852-YF-007   2016-05-11 04:00:00 4
#...
#852-YF-008   2016-05-10 23:00:00 5
#852-YF-008   2016-05-11 04:00:00 3
#...
#852-YF-009   2016-05-10 23:00:00 2
#852-YF-009   2016-05-11 04:00:00 9
#...

That data is loaded into a Spark Dataframe and the timestamps are sampled so that we have one value for each variable for a specific timestamp.
Question: How can I convert/transpose that efficiently into a "Instants Dataframe" like this:
#Time                    852-YF-007     852-YF-008     852-YF-009
#2016-05-10 23:00:00     4              5              2
#2016-05-11 04:00:00     4              3              9
#...

The number of columns depends on the number of variables. Each column is the timeseries (all sampled values for that variables) while the rows are the timestamps. Note: the number of timestamps will be much larger than the number of variables.
Update: It's related to pivot-tables but I do not have a fixed number of columns. That number varies by the number of variables.

Last Sunday after worship Katie approached me and asked me to give blood at her blood drive this coming Wednesday. I told her I have never donated blood because I'm scared to death of needles. She told me she hears that a lot. Afterward I got to thinking about how stupid that excuse sounds. What does it say about my faith to be scared of the small momentary pain of being poked in the arm with a needle, especially when it is keeping me from the opportunity of doing something good for others? Besides, I'm almost 58 years old. I am too stinking old to be playing the wimp card. So this coming Wednesday I am going to be a first time blood donor. I'm not proud of this—I'm embarrassed that it took me so long to find the minimal courage it takes to do it.
This morning we read the story of Jeremiah's call to be a prophet. When God informed Jeremiah that he had been chosen, even since before he was born, to speak on God's behalf to the people, how did Jeremiah respond? He said, "Lord, I don't know how to speak. I'm too young." What I think he was really saying was, "I'm scared." After all, God told Jeremiah not be afraid of those to whom he would speak. Jeremiah tried to play the wimp card, and God trumped it. "Where I send you, you must go; what I tell you, you must say. Don't be afraid of them, because I'm with you to rescue you," God said. Then God touched Jeremiah's mouth and continued, "I'm putting my words in your mouth. This very day I appoint you over nations and empires, to dig up and pull down, to destroy and demolish, to build and plant." I can understand Jeremiah's fear. After all, God had chosen Jeremiah for the difficult task of proclaiming God's judgment on a complacent and rebellious people, warning them of their impending captivity and exile. They would not gladly hear what Jeremiah had to say. He would be imprisoned in a dungeon, accused of treasonous behavior. But even as Jeremiah's message warned of the destruction of the present order, it also offered hope that beyond exile God had a better future for his people yet in store, if they would place their trust in God.
That got people talking! Although many people were initially impressed by the gracious words he said, some also started wondering, "Hey, wait a minute—isn't this Joseph's boy?" as if to imply "We've known this guy all his life. Since when did he get to be so special?" Then, Jesus managed to kill the favorable impression completely when he continued, "You'll probably quote to me the saying, 'Doctor, heal yourself!' Do here in your hometown what we hear you've done in Capernaum. No prophet is welcome in the prophet's own hometown. There were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when it did not rain for 3½ years and there was a terrible food shortage. But Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a Gentile widow in the city of Zarephath in the land of Sidon. And there were many people with skin diseases in the time of Elisha, but none of them were cleansed—the only one cleansed was the Syrian general Naaman." In other words Jesus was telling them, "God's purposes for me are far bigger than just you. Don't expect any special favors from me." That didn't set well with the good folks of Nazareth at all. In fact, they got so angry that they ran him out of town and tried to throw him off a cliff. But he got free from them, passed through the crowd, and left.
As I wondered how Jesus felt about all this, I thought about the times in my life I have found it necessary to say something to someone I cared about deeply that I knew they would find upsetting, and might well respond angrily? I have found those times to be rather scary. Surely Jesus, being human like us, experienced more than a few butterflies in his stomach as this incident unfolded. But he did not play the wimp card. He told them what he believed God needed them to hear—that his God-given mission was far bigger than them.
We live in a world where change is happening ever more rapidly. The world and church I was trained to serve when I was in seminary in the early 1980's was in many ways very different from the world and church I experience today. And as rapidly as things are changing, the world and church five years from now will likely be very different than it is today.
Change can be frightening. Change is not something I can control, and I like to be in control. The world we live in often seems out of control, careening madly toward an uncertain and possibly very dangerous future. The political polarization in the church and world today, it seems to me, is the result of people desperately trying to regain some semblance of control over how the world works.
I also believe much of the division and polarization we see in church and society alike have to do with disagreements about which changes should be embraced and which ones should not. The "take America back" slogans we are hearing in many of the political ads leading up to tomorrow's caucuses can be taken two ways, I think. One way to understand that slogan is to reclaim America from those who are perceived as having taken it away. The other is to take America back in time to a time when things were different, when the culture seemed friendlier to certain cherished values. Either way, the statement assumes that things have mostly changed for the worse. Whether that is actually the case is a matter of opinion. I believe that some of the changes that have happened are good, and others are not. The statement also often assumes that somewhere back in the past there was a pristine time when things were wonderful that ought to be reclaimed. I do not believe a pristine historical period exists. Every historical period has both positive and negative attributes. And I cannot recall any time in history where an attempt to go back to the way things were in an earlier time actually succeeded. Even the most successful reform movements in history have generally taken lessons from the past and repackaged them for the reality of their time rather than simply turning back the clock.
So what does it mean to quit playing the wimp card in our time? I believe it means not to fearfully shy away from change, but to look it squarely in the eye. It also means to prayerfully and carefully discern which changes need to be embraced and which ones should not be. This becomes tricky because people acting and believing in good faith often come to different conclusions. This is the very point at which I often become afraid—of being disagreed with, of being challenged, of having to do the work of rethinking. It often leads to my having uncharitable opinions of those with whom I disagree. This fear is really another form of playing the wimp card.
I only see part of the picture.
I do not seek my own advantage.
I do not keep a record of complaints.
I am not happy with injustice.
I put up with all things.
I trust in all things.
I hope for all things.
A person who fully lives this way has advanced far on the road to holiness. I know I fall short on many of these. But God calls me to press on toward the goal of his upward call in Christ Jesus, trusting in his mercy and grace as I do so.
I invite you to join me in discarding the wimp card. I invite you to join me in boldly seeking to live in faith and above all in love, not fear, especially at the point of dealing with change and loving those with whom we disagree.


The name "65 Roses" has little to do with romantic bouquets – rather, it refers to the way a small child would mispronounce "cystic fibrosis," saying something that sounds like "65 roses" instead.
Some children with the disease continue to refer to their condition as "65 roses," which is easier to say than the name of the illness itself. It's such beautiful imagery for such a difficult condition.
But the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is trying to make it better. The Fort Worth Chapter's 65 Roses event held each October raises money to help fight the disease, and perhaps one day, help eliminate cystic fibrosis altogether.
65 Roses started relatively small, the first event taking place 17 years ago in the backyard of the foundation's board president. Participants raised about $42,000 that year. Fast forward 17 years into the future, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has raised a total of more than $4.5 million through 65 Roses.
Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects the lungs and makes breathing difficult, affects about 30,000 people nationwide. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, more than half of those with the disease are 18 years old and older, with the median survival age being 40. Thanks in part to funding raised through 65 Roses, Armstrong said, medicine has made advances in recent years with the Food and Drug Administration approving two drugs that help alleviate cystic fibrosis symptoms.
"Just to be a part of something that's so much bigger than me is incredible," Armstrong said.
The 65 Roses event in Fort Worth, led by the foundation and chef Michael Thompson of Michaels Cuisine on West Seventh Street, rounds up local chefs to cook samples of their signature dishes. This year's event featured chefs from The Capital Grille, Eddie V's, Ellerbe Foods and others. In addition to dabbling in various types of cuisine, attendees also enjoyed live music, as well as a silent and live auction.
"It's just a night of food sampling and having fun," Armstrong said.
The money raised goes toward Cook Children's Cystic Fibrosis Center, funding research, equipment, patient assistance and other programs – Fort Worth's local contribution to a worldwide cause.
"It's just been a Fort Worth tradition," Armstrong said.

Audi builds its five millionth model with quattro all-wheel drive
Feb 25, 2013 at 1:31pm ET
After 33 years, Audi has built their five millionth model with a quattro all-wheel drive system.
The white A6 Allroad 3.0 TDI rolled off the assembly line at the company's Neckarsulm plant and was treated to a grand celebration that included a photo shoot with an original Quattro (aka Ur-quattro) model.
Audi's quattro origins trace back to winter of 1976-77 when engineers were testing front-wheel drive prototypes in snow-covered Sweden. The group brought along a Volkswagen Iltis and quickly recognized the 75 HP (55 kW) all-terrain vehicle was easily outperforming their more powerful prototypes. This lead the team to begin working on an all-wheel drive model under the watchful eye of Dr. Ferdinand Piëch who was the company's Board Member for Technical Development.
The resulting model, the legendary Audi Quattro, made its debut at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show and although it was planned for limited production, demand forced the company to keep it around until 1991.

In case the residence permit request is rejected, it is possible for the person to leave the country within the legal period and enter the country at any time. In this case, if the foreign national wants to make a new application within 6 months, he / she must submit a new residence permit request, that is, apply for another type of residence permit. If applicant wants to apply for a residence permit due to the same reason, it is mandatory to wait for the 6-month.
If you leave Turkey, you can return on the next day with an e-visa, then apply for a residence permit. Work permits are unrelated to visas, so your time in Turkey isn't counted against your visa. When you re-enter with the e-visa, your time in Turkey for the visa will start at zero. The Labor Ministry is now expected to determine in which provinces and sectors Syrians can work across Turkey, according to the 29th article of the decree, which defines access to the labor market.

Foreigners, who are the managing partners of the limited partnerships whose capital is divided into shares, are required to obtain a work permit.
Vulnerable groups i.e. people over the age of 60 and/or people with pre-existing medical conditions should avoid non-essential outings and visitors. This is critical as if infected with the virus, vulnerable persons may have severe complications that could be fatal. Several measures have been instituted by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the PTF-COVID-19 together with the Federal Ministry of Health to curtail the spread of the disease and protect the health of Nigerians.

If the business is a registered host on the website, workaway then speak to them and voice your concerns. There are plenty of places to look for employment in Turkey, but in my experience, the best place for international networking and put yourself on the job market is LinkedIn. They have a free service, but the premium version allows you to form a portfolio as your resume for potential employers to view. You also receive notification of any business in your niche posting job listings.
Marriage visa, granted for a limited period before intended marriage or conclusion of a civil partnership based on a proven relationship with a citizen of the destination country.

A K1 Fiancée Visa is valid for four months from the date of its approval. Residence visa, granted to people obtaining long-term residence in the host country. In some countries, such as New Zealand, long-term residence is a necessary step to obtain the status of a permanent resident.
In order to curtail this abuse of the tourist visa, on January 12, 2012, the Turkish government instituted new regulations. Now a "90-day tourist visa" means that you can visit Turkey for up to 90 dayswithin any 180-day period. This means that, after staying a full 90 days, you must leave Turkey and not return until another 90 days have passed.You cannot simply cross the border into another country, stay outside of Turkey for a day or two, then re-enter Turkey on a new 90-day tourist visa.
Personal service workers and domestic workers working in France during their private employers' stay in the country.

Foreign talents wishing to work in one of the overseas territories must have their employer request another work permit.
In that case your work place also has to be registered in accordance with the Turkish regulations. Both Arabic and Turkish templates are available; however, the parties are free to use any contracts in line with Turkish labour law. For foreign citizens who want to live permanently in the United States. Employers in Kazakhstan must file all quota applications for quota-subject work permits for 2022 by Sept. 30, 2021. Foreigner requesting work permit who is a co-partner of the company must own at least 20% shares in the company, and this percentage shall correspond to at least TRY 40,000.- as an obligation.
Or the same process with just a single British citizen who wants to live in Turkey? You're a perfect example of a successful marriage with a UK citizen and Turkish citizen. When I last went for residency, the rules were very relaxed but they have tightened them up now. If you go to the local police station where there is a foreigners department, they can tell you what you need and also give you the application form. After three years of marriage, I got the kimlik and no longer needed the residency. Foreigners residing outside of Turkey can apply to the Turkish Consulate located in their country of residence or country of citizenship.
The "duration of stay" must be filled in as 90 days, even if that's not the length of your job offer. So, for example, you might obtain a work permit to teach French at a particular college. You cannot simply change jobs and work somewhere else; even as a French teacher. You can learn about immigration and visas in Turkey by watching our series of video interviews with Turkish lawyer Başak Yıldız Orkun.
According to media reports, the minister stated that families of children registered in schools in Istanbul; people working with valid work permits; and people with certain humanitarian needs, such as health issues, would be exempt from the order to relocate. Women represent about half of Turkey's Syrian refugee population, yet their participation in the labor market is low. Indeed, only 15 percent of Syrian women engage in gainful employment, and even fewer have work permits. Syrian women often want and need to work but are unable to do so because the types of jobs available to them are often in factories or workshops in the informal labor market, entailing long working hours and low pay. In addition, Syrian women generally bear most of the responsibility for childcare and household duties, and in some cases their husbands or other family members are opposed to their work outside the home.

Type and duration of the visa issued to the foreigners is stamped on the travel document by the Immigration Officers. Foreigners' stay in the country cannot exceed the date stamped on their travel documents and they cannot use the visa for reasons other than its original purpose. For example, working with tourist or student visa is considered as visa violation.
Generally speaking, job contracts continue to be valid and cross-border workers continue to enjoy the rights and protections resulting from their contract similar to other employees.

Short term purpose of stay such as the maintenance, installation or repair of a machinery etc. where the total duration of stay will not exceed 90 days in a period of 12 months. Immigration process to Turkey depends on the intended duration of stay and purpose. Basically, there are 2 types of visas; short-term and long-term in terms of business & working purposes. Technically, there is no threshold/minimum number of days that exempts the employee from the requirements to report and pay income taxes in Turkey. In accordance with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development principles, in case an economic employer is in Turkey, then the employee will be subject to withholding taxes at progressive rates regardless of their residency status.
The work permits for indefinite period may be granted to foreigners who hold a long-term residence permit or obtained work permits for at least eight years. The application for a work permit for indefinite period may still be rejected even though the foreigner fits all the requirements. Visa applications are submitted through consulates in the foreigner's country of nationality or residence.
The Protocol outlined the Univisa as an objective so as to enable the international and regional entry and travel of visitors to occur as smoothly as possible. Its introduction was delayed and a new implementation date, the end of 2006, was announced. The univisa was originally intended to only be available, initially, to visitors from selected "source markets" including Australia, the Benelux countries, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
For this purpose, you can describe strong ties with your home country. During checking, hunters will be asked the age and sex of their turkey. Monitoring the age and sex of harvested turkeys provides a valuable measure of the fall harvest. According to Shaaban, Gaza's income would increase by three million dollars per day ($3 million), if Israel granted 20,000 work permits.
The general rule is that you can't work in a job that a qualified Turk can do. After your employer applies for your work permit, the Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Security will check the national employment application database to see if there is a qualified Turkish citizen available. If there are no qualified Turkish candidates, they'll approve your work permit. It's the employer who applies for the work permit, as you provide documents required for the application. Please be advised that the application may take some time to process and it may be worthwhile allowing several months to obtain the permit. If you wish to apply via e-mail the application forms should be sent as a document file .

The National Hot Rod Association season opener is around the corner, and sponsors and teams alike are anxious to share the deals they've been putting together over the winter. One of the first to do so is also one of the biggest—Mopar and Dodge SRT just announced their sponsorship programs for 2018.
The venerable FCA brands will chase the title of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series by increasing their factory sponsorship of Leah Pritchett of Don Schumacher Racing (DSR), who managed to score four victories and a fifth-place finish during the 2017 season. Pritchett's 330 mph NHRA Top Fuel Dragster will sport the automaker's decals at seven of 24 events on the 2018 NHRA schedule.

Mopar and Dodge SRT will also renew their support of two-time Funny Car champion Matt Hagan for a total of 14 events in 2018, marking the 10th anniversary of their partnership. "Where does the time go?" said Hagan. "Ten years, that's a chunk out of your life. I was very fortunate to get hooked up with Don Schumacher. He surrounds himself with the best, and Mopar and Dodge are key sponsors. It has been good for me to be able to carry that banner. It's a huge honor."
Matt Hagan of Don Schumacher Racing.
The Mopar Contingency Program will continue in 2018. The program awards monetary funds to drivers who win or finish runner-up while sporting Mopar contingency decals or utilizing the brand's engine components.
The overall fan experience in person and online will also receive a boost in 2018, courtesy of a new 4,800-square-foot exhibit that merges each brand's rig to create one of the largest displays on the NHRA Manufacturers Midway. Online, there will be a new one-stop site for all Mopar and Dodge racing news dubbed Dodge Garage.
This charming antique isn't a funny car, but it is hysterical.


While Korean fashion has taken Asian markets by storm, it has only recently begun to expand to New York City's fashion scene, where Korean brands are mostly featured in high-end Fashion Week runway shows and pop-up stores. But permanent stores are also opening in Manhattan, such as Boyoung Kim's boutique, which will debut on the Upper West Side. From classic-chic fashionistas to Lower East Side hipsters, young New Yorkers are constantly searching for the latest in fashion, and Korean designers might satisfy their craving.
Korean brands feature prominently in fall 2013's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, from Son Jung Wan's elegant pastel colors to Beyond Closet, which could be described as "Tommy Hilfiger with a distinctly Korean sensibility." Both designers' pieces allude to their Asian roots without being overwhelmed by them.
The designers' universal appeal isn't unprecedented. Phillip Lim, the cofounder of the fashion label 3.1 Phillip Lim told the New York Times that Chinese American designers have been successful because their work is tailored towards the "global citizen." Take, for example, Taiwanese American designer Alexander Wang; the Huffington Post found that his "minimalistic" contours appeal to "every stylish woman in America." Popular Korean brands have managed to blend their influences, making their clothes marketable on a global scale.
Successful Korean labels have benefited from New York's pop-up store culture. In July, the Metropolitan Pavilion showcased a wide selection of Korean textiles in the trade show Korean Preview in New York. Even though they're impermanent, such shops have helped up-and-coming designers break into the U.S. market.
Luckily, a handful of long-term Korean boutiques have also opened around Manhattan. Most are tucked in between bohemian cafes and cute vintage stores in Nolita. Fitting the vibe of this hip and eclectic neighborhood, min-k nyc (the store's name, pronounced as "mink," is a play on the designer Minji Kim's name) is stocked with vintage and retro floral prints with a Korean flair. One block away, the dresses in Baby Blue Line, Ltd. ( or "bbL") evoke "a Far Eastern kind of toile," according to New York Magazine.
Korean brands don't just appeal to hipsters and vintage lovers; many of the boutiques feature business attire. The suits and dresses at Jaeyoon Jeong Collection are especially appropriate for young men and women who are looking for upscale business wear. The designs are elegant and clean-cut, aptly capturing the essence of Korean fashion.
Jaeyoon Jeong Collection, min-k nyc, and Baby Blue Line, Ltd. demonstrate the cross-cultural versatility of Korean fashion, and its growing mainstream appeal in America's fashion capital. Keep an eye out for an increasing number of Korean boutiques in New York City, and their growing impact on the fashion scene in general.

OBJECTIVE 3
To improve climate, energy and food security policies that would redirect trade and investment towards sustainable and inclusive food and energy systems and which would genuinely address climate change challenges.
OBJECTIVE 3:
Agrarian & Environmental Justiceadmin-annual-20182019-05-16T10:34:40+00:00
TNI's Agrarian & Environmental Justice programme focuses on the nexus between agrarian and environmental justice in the context of agro(aqua)-industrial development strategies and market-led climate strategies. TNI works to reframe policy discussions in the direction of energy democracy which foregrounds universal access and socialised control; a just energy transition such that the costs are not disproportionately borne by the poor; and local agro(aqua)-ecological production as the best means to secure food sovereignty and sustainable food production. To this end, TNI works with international organisations of small-scale food producers, trade unions, and environmental organisations, as well as collaborating in a number of relevant academic research initiatives.
In 2018, through the production and dissemination of well-used information resources as well as workshops and technical support, TNI contributed to stronger advocacy by the World Forum for Fisher Peoples (WFFP), its affiliates and allies. This included engagements with the Food & Agricultural Office (FAO) on adherence to the Small Fisheries Guidelines adopted in 2014, and in countering the Blue Economy narrative as an attempt to privatise the oceans in the name of addressing climate and sustainability.
Longstanding TNI support for the advocacy of small-scale farmers' organisations and environmental movements, that agroecology is an important means of securing food sovereignty and the basis for sustainable future farming, received a major boost in 2018. The FAO launched the 'Scaling up Agroecology Initiative', which incorporated some of the demands of civil society organisations, and announced an award which will recognize the best enabling policies for agroecology. In Uruguay, the government adopted a new national plan for agroecology after concerted efforts by TNI's partner REDES.
Meanwhile, TNI also helped to link struggles against austerity with the right to food through publication of a well-researched report on the impact of Troika-prescribed austerity in Greece. The report concluded that EU institutions and the IMF were responsible for violating the right to food, generating considerable media attention in Europe. Follow-up litigation is now being considered by the former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food.
TNI contributed to building greater trust and a common agenda among trade unions and other social movements in Latin America through a conference on energy, environment and labour held in Costa Rica convened by the Trade Union Congress of the Americas (TUCA), with support from TNI and FES Uruguay.

«Love Will Never Do (Without You)» es el séptimo sencillo de la cantante Janet Jackson, del álbum Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. Fue número uno en Billboard Hot 100 durante una semana.

Información de la canción
La canción se convirtió en quinto número de Jackson-uno solo en el Billboard Hot 100, el último de los siete primeros cinco sencillos del álbum, convirtiéndose en el único artista para lograr siete primeros cinco sencillos de un álbum. El éxito de "Love Will Never Do (Without You)", el álbum también ayudó a convertirse en el único en la historia para producir hits número uno en el Billboard Hot 100 en tres años calendario separado "Miss You Much" en el año 1989, "Escapade" y "Black Cat" en 1990, y "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" en 1991-y el único disco en la historia del Hot 100 de tener siete primeros 5 sencillos de éxito.

En 1996, la canción fue mezclada por Roger Sanchez. El sencillo «Edit» se incluyó en el lanzamiento internacional en 1996, Desing of a Decade 1986/1996. A pesar de ser uno de los últimos sencillos del álbum, fue una de las primeras canciones registradas por Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. Coros de la canción fue grabada a finales de 1988, mientras que Jackson grabó la voz principal en enero de 1989.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis labrado en la idea de hacer esta canción a dúo. Según The Fred Bronson Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits, que pensaban sobre la posibilidad de recibir el Prince, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, o cualquier otra persona que trabajan con ellos en ese momento. Sin embargo, no existe ningún plan concreto. Durante la grabación de la primera estrofa, Jimmy Jam dice Jackson, "Sing it baja, como un tipo que canta." Como resultado, se mantiene la idea de cantar la primera estrofa, en una octava baja, pero ir de una octava arriba en el segundo verso.

Jackson ha realizado la canción en la mayoría de sus giras como la Janet. Tour, The Velvet Rope Tour , All for You Tour y Rock Witchu Tour.

Cantante Macy Gray cantó la canción en vivo como un homenaje a Janet Jackson durante el icono especial de MTV en 2002.

Video musical
El video fue dirigido por el fotógrafo Herb Ritts en septiembre de 1990. Jackson originalmente previsto usar un vestido para el video, pero Ritts previsto Jackson en nada más que un top negro y un par de pantalones vaqueros. El vídeo incluye cameos por el entonces modelos de ropa interior Calvin Klein, Antonio Sabato Jr. y Djimon Hounsou.

El video ganó por Best Female Video y fue nominado para Best Choreography y Best Art Direction en el 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. Ocupó trece a Rolling Stone de las 100 Top Music Videos, setenta y dos en 100 VH1 Videos, ochenta y ocho, en el 100 de MTV Greatest Videos Ever Made.

Dos versiones del vídeo fueron producidos, uno en blanco y negro, y la otra coloreada, los cuales aparecen en el una compilación Desing of a decade  1986/1996. Decenio de vídeo. El 27 de abril de 2007, el video fue hecho disponible en iTunes.

Q: Creating a struct on the heap? I've been instructed to write a model strdup by creating a String struct on the heap the holds a copy of the source. I think I have successfully coded the strdup, but I'm not sure if I've created a Struct on the heap...
typedef
struct String {
    int length;
    int capacity;
    unsigned check;
    char ptr[0];
} String;

char* modelstrdup(char* src){
    int capacity =0, length=0, i = 0 ;
    char *string;
    while ( src[length] != '\0'){
        length++;
    }
    capacity = length;
    string = malloc(sizeof(String) + capacity + 1);
    while ( i < length ){
        string[i] = src[i];
        i++;
    }
    string[i+1] = '\0';

    return string;
}

A: You have allocated some memory on the heap, but you're not using it as if it were your structure.  The string variable in your function is of type char *, not of type struct String.  I think you're duplicating the functionality of strdup() reasonably enough, but I don't understand the reason for the structure.
Note: You should probably check your call to malloc() for failure, and return appropriately.  The man page for strdup() should explains exactly what your function should be doing.

A: Yes, you've created a struct on the heap.  You haven't populated it correctly, and you are going to face problems deleting it - I'm not sure whether the homework covered that or not.  As it stands, you're more likely to get memory corruption or, if you're lucky, a memory leak than to release one of these strings.
Code that works with standard C89 and C99
Your code, somewhat fixed up...
typedef
struct String {
    int length;
    int capacity;
    char *ptr;
} String;

char* modelstrdup(char* src){
    int length = strlen(src);
    char *space = malloc(sizeof(String) + length + 1);
    //String *string = space;  // Original code - compilers are not keen on it
    String *string = (String *)space;
    assert(space != 0);
    string->ptr = space + sizeof(String);  // or sizeof(*string)
    string->length = length;
    string->capacity = length + 1;
    strcpy(string->ptr, src);
    return string->ptr;
}

This code will work in C89 as well as C99 (except for the C99/C++ comments).  You can probably optimize it to work with the 'struct hack' (saves a pointer in the structure - but only if you have a C99 compiler).  The assert is sub-optimal error handling.  The code doesn't defend itself against a null pointer for input.  In this context, neither the length nor the capacity provides any benefit - there must be other functions in the suite that will be able to make use of that information.
As already intimated, you are going to face problems deleting the string structure when the value handed back is not a pointer to the string.  You have some delicate pointer adjustments to make.

Code that works with standard C99 only
In C99, section 6.7.2.1 paragraph 16 describes 'flexible array members':

As a special case, the last element of a structure with more than one named member may
  have an incomplete array type; this is called a flexible array member. With two
  exceptions, the flexible array member is ignored. First, the size of the structure shall be
  equal to the offset of the last element of an otherwise identical structure that replaces the
  flexible array member with an array of unspecified length.106) Second, when a . (or ->)
  operator has a left operand that is (a pointer to) a structure with a flexible array member
  and the right operand names that member, it behaves as if that member were replaced
  with the longest array (with the same element type) that would not make the structure
  larger than the object being accessed; the offset of the array shall remain that of the
  flexible array member, even if this would differ from that of the replacement array. If this
  array would have no elements, it behaves as if it had one element but the behavior is
  undefined if any attempt is made to access that element or to generate a pointer one past
  it.
106 The length is unspecified to allow for the fact that implementations may give array members different
  alignments according to their lengths.

Using a 'flexible array member', your code could become:
typedef
struct String {
    int length;
    int capacity;
    char ptr[];
} String;

char* modelstrdup(char* src){
    int length = strlen(src);
    String *string = malloc(sizeof(String) + length + 1);
    assert(string != 0);
    string->length = length;
    string->capacity = length + 1;
    strcpy(string->ptr, src);
    return string->ptr;
}

This code was accepted as clean by GCC 4.0.1 apart from a declaration for the function (options -Wall -Wextra).  The previous code needs a cast on 'String *string = (String *)space;' to tell the compiler I meant what I said; I've now fixed that and left a comment to show the original.

Using the 'struct hack'
Before C99, people often used the 'struct hack' to handle this.  It is very similar to the code shown in the question, except the dimension of the array is 1, not 0.  Standard C does not allow array dimensions of size zero.
typedef struct String {
    size_t length;
    size_t capacity;
    char ptr[1];
} String;

char* modelstrdup(char* src)
{
    size_t length = strlen(src);
    String *string = malloc(sizeof(String) + length + 1);
    assert(string != 0);
    string->length = length;
    string->capacity = length + 1;
    strcpy(string->ptr, src);
    return string->ptr;
}

Code that uses a GCC non-standard extension to C89 and C99
The zero-size array notation is accepted by GCC unless you poke it hard - specify the ISO C standard and request pedantic accuracy.  This code, therefore, compiles OK unless you get to use gcc -Wall -Wextra -std=c99 -pedantic:
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef
struct String {
    int length;
    int capacity;
    char ptr[0];
} String;

char* modelstrdup(char* src){
    int length = strlen(src);
    String *string = malloc(sizeof(String) + length + 1);
    assert(string != 0);
    string->length = length;
    string->capacity = length + 1;
    strcpy(string->ptr, src);
    return string->ptr;
}

However, you should not be being trained in non-standard extensions to the C language before you have a thorough grasp of the basics of standard C.  That is simply unfair to you; you can't tell whether what you're being told to do is sensible, but your tutors should not be misguiding you by forcing you to use non-standard stuff.  Even if they alerted you to the fact that it is non-standard, it is not fair to you.  C is hard enough to learn without learning tricksy stuff that is somewhat compiler specific.

A: You have.  Malloc, new, etc all use the heap.

A: Yes, malloc returns memory on the heap.
