The urban jungle has its own unique challenges and paths. Every city is a treasure trove of experiences that will delight foodies, history junkies, the art savvy, bargainers and more. There's something in a city for everyone. Don't wander into the wilderness without some of these useful apps! The best part is that most of these are free.
One of my favorite websites has its own app! Maybe you've taken an unplanned jaunt to London from Paris and need a cheap place to stay. This app will help you find trustworthy locals who can put you up. Many respond within a day or less! Keep up with your tenants through the app and make future plans.
I've used this app for several years and found it to work great every time. It only needs wifi to update the rates occasionally, then you can use it wherever! It's especially helpful for bargaining in those amazing street markets across the world, but also if you're stopping at a cafe and don't want to spend too much on a cup of coffee. Pretty much every currency is available and you can have several showing at the same time.
For obvious reasons, having a translator on hand would be more than useful abroad. This one has been free and its easy to use interface has come in handy to recall those important phrases or for translating the menu.
In many popular cities, there are apps made for exploring all the major sights in the city. For instance, I used ones for Rome and Verona, Italy. I try to get the cheapest app that at least features maps (including bus or subways) and places to eat. A lot of them come with descriptions and history of locations. Especially helpful for me in Rome, a city with something historically relevant around every corner. They're nice to have when you first reach the city and haven't picked up any maps or guides yet.
Christina Kuo is a twenty-something who has visited 9 countries and is about to graduate with a degree in Media Communications. She has a passion for travel and never wants to stop exploring.
Don't forget about epical! It's the new geo-social travel app for iPhone. Coming soon for Android.
Epical turns any location into a mini chat room. Post questions and get replies from other epical users. Many more features!


Therefore i am going to reinvent myself as a student.. I am going to be a good, diligent student who doesn't waste valuable time away on facebook. I am going to keep up with all the readings, powerpoints, online quizes, activities and assignments. I am also going to get some sticky notes and organise things first by unit, and then by subcategories, all into colour coded sections. My textbooks will be a labrynth of coloured hilights, and cross references.
... although i am posting from the Utas library and really must get back to studying... As it is week two and i am already two weeks behind on my lecture watching/note taking, textbook reading and all things study that relate to my two units!
Let me know if you need any help!
Good luck! we shall treat ourselves with a grand adventure when we get our act together!!

ArticlesRenewed Hope for Out of Status Applicants in the USA: Express Entry Lowers Score in 2018
On February 7, IRCC released the new Express Entry cut-off score, dropping to 442, compared to 444 in the previous draw. The score is based on the applicant's skills, ties to Canada, marital and family status, and more. This drop is not surprising, as Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has had a tendency to lower the cut-off scores on the second and third Express Entry draft of the year since the creation of the program; Scores have been lowering since the implementation of the stream. Indeed, from the second draft of 2017 to the second draft of 2018, the cut-off score dropped 15 points.
This all-time low record for an early draft may signify that IRCC expects to lower the score even more than last year's May 31 draw, which reached 413. It will be interesting to follow the trend of 2018, as the frequency of the draws could be an important factor in the reduction of cut-off scores. In general, as IRCC wishes to keep the number of Invitations To Apply (ITAs) at 2,750 in every draw, we expect that the more the draws, the lower the cut-off score will be.
This recent draw also reflects IRCC's prospects for the Express Entry system. As it seems that IRCC is attempting to make the Express Entry system the most utilized stream for Canadian immigration applications, its decision to keep lowering the score seems logical: More foreign nationals will see a better chance to obtaining legal permanent status in Canada, and more will apply through that stream. In 2018, the permanent residence admissions target is 74,900, an increase of over 3000 people from last year's Express Entry target. This goal is expected to be met, and even surpassed given the rise in applications, especially in view of the strict immigration manners taken by Canada's neighbors to the south, the USA. Our CLG offices in the USA continue to see applications for Express Entry by foreign nationals now out of status in the USA.

A limited number of copies of these books will be available from the library.
Assignments will be submitted electronically through the Unit Website interface on Canvas (LearnOnline). For the HTML web programming assignment, this will be the HTML code, CSS file and all other required data files. For the Python programming assignment, this will be the software code developed by each student using the materials and equipment list under 4b. Submissions have to be in ZIP format. Details are given in the specific assignment description on Canvas.
Special assessment requirements
The IIT unit uses both formative and summative forms of assessment. Students are required to satisfactorily complete a number of assignments and assessable items and to perform satisfactorily in the final exam. Specifications for the assignments and requirements for satisfactory completion are given on the IIT unit website on Canvas (LearnOnline).
Assignments are meant to be individual work, although talking a problem over with another student or tutor is considered one reasonable way of learning. However, the actual assignment submission must be your own work. Students are expected to familiarise themselves with the University's Student Conduct Rules (http://www.canberra.edu.au/current-students/conduct). Experience has shown that students who do not do their own work are unlikely to pass the exam (and therefore the unit).
Assignment submissions will be assessed for addressing the specific requirements of each assignment, as stated in the assignment descriptions, as well as for employing good programming principles. All assessment items will receive a numerical mark, which together in their entirety define a student's final grade and mark as outlined in section 5a.
Deffered exams:
In the event a student misses the end of term examination due to illness or other exceptional circumstances, the student must submit the deferred final exam application form within 3 working days of scheduled exam to the UC College student services team.
Responsibility for understanding
If there is any doubt with regard to the requirements of any particular assignments or assessment procedure, the onus for clarifying the issue rests with the student who should
contact the unit Convener or tutor. Further, it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they are correctly enrolled in the unit and that the tutor and Student Administration have their correct contact details.
Final Grade and Mark
To obtain a particular grade in this unit it is necessary that there are no outstanding resubmissions at the end of Week 12. All assessment items will receive a numerical mark. The final grade will be determined as a weighted average of the individual assessment items.
To be awarded a particular grade in IIT, students must meet the overall requirements, the assignment requirements and the exam requirements in the table below. All grades are conditional upon the following minimum requirements:
Minimum 50% as a combined mark of the first major assignment(HTML Web Programming Assignment) and the second major assignment(Programming Assignment), and
Minimum 40% on final assessment, and
Minimum 50% on overall
Assignments + Exam
Minimum 50% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items
Minimum 65% combined weighted marks of all assessment items
Minimum 75% combined weighted score of all assessment item
High Distinction
The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work.
Supplementary assessment
There will be no deferred tests. The final exam will receive an increased weighting for students who miss the Week 7 Online Test or the Software Testing Computer Lab Test due to illness or other acceptable grounds and who produce the required documentary evidence.
Expected Average Student Workload:
* denotes an assessable item
Lectures (Online):
11 x 2h = 22h

Q: Q about 2nd isomorphism Th for rings: Is this true $(S+I)/I\cong S/(S\cap I)\cong S/I$, for subring $S$ and ideal $I$? Let $R$ be a ring, $S\subseteq R$ a subring and $I\subseteq R$ an ideal.
Then Theorem 8 in chapter 7 from Abstract Algebra by Dummit and Foote states that
$$
(S+I)/I\cong S/(S\cap I).
$$
Let $(A+B)=\left\{a+b\,|\, a\in A, b\in B\right\}$.
I wonder if this additional statement is also true:

$$(S+I)/I\cong S/(S\cap I){\color{red}{\cong S/I}}\,\,  ?$$

This seems obvious to me, but I would like to make sure that I'm not missing anything here. Thanks.

A: $I$ is not necessarily contained in $S$, so the expression $S/I$ does not necessarily make sense. When it does, it is equal to $S/(S \cap I)$ so nothing new is gained by your version of the theorem.

Animal torture called "a regular practice" within federal Wildlife Services
Posted on December 17, 2014 by mes227
"This agency as become an outlet for people to abuse animals for no particular reason [and at taxpayer expense]" ~Rep. John Campbell, R-CA
It was a productive day for Gary Strader when he pulled his vehicle up to a remote site in northeast Nevada and found nine coyotes caught in leg hold snares set by the federal government. As was routine, Strader, a former trapper with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, signaled his dogs to attack.
His supervisor, who had accompanied him that day, watched and laughed as the dogs circled the coyotes and ripped into them, Strader recalled.
"That was regular practice," said Strader, who in 2009 left Wildlife Services, a little-known program within the USDA. The program is tasked with humanely killing wildlife seen as a threat to the environment and livestock, as well as protecting the public from wildlife hazards to commercial planes at airports.
"You let your dogs fight with them. That was part of the job," said Strader. "There's not a person in Wildlife Services who is not aware of it."
The brutal approach by Wildlife Services is part of a culture of animal cruelty that has long persisted within an agency that uses taxpayer money to wage an unnecessary war on wildlife, according to two U.S. congressmen who have repeatedly called for a thorough investigation.
"It is completely out of control," Rep. Campbell (R-CA) said. "They need to be brought into the 21st century."
Campbell and Rep. Peter Defazio, D-Ore., penned a letter last November to Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack calling for a complete audit of the "culture" within Wildlife Services – in particular its lethal Predator Control program – by the USDA Office of Inspector General. Vilsack responded in a letter dated Feb. 1, saying an investigation into animal cruelty allegations was under way by the Administrative Investigations and Compliance Branch of the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
"USDA does not condone any form of animal cruelty and holds all employees responsible for adhering to Departmental and Agency standards and directives," Vilsack wrote. "WS personnel are expected to use approved and humane methods to euthanize captured or restrained animals whenever practicable, and in accordance with American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines."
But the lawmakers say several serious questions remain unanswered.
"I don't understand why it should be the responsibility of the federal government to attempt to – very ineffectively and, in fact, probably detrimentally – remove wildlife that has not been implicated in attacks on people and cattle," said Defazio, who for two decades has championed the defunding of Wildlife Services.
Evidence showing animal cruelty has not been difficult to uncover.
In October, photos were discovered on the personal Facebook account of Wildlife Services employee Jamie P. Olson. The images showed dogs snarling at and biting into live coyotes trapped in steel foot-holds, as well as pictures of coyote carcasses. The photos were allegedly posted in an album titled "work," but it remains unclear whether they were taken while Olson was on the job or not.
Olson, who works for Wyoming Wildlife Services, is still employed, but the matter is being investigated, according to Carol Bannerman, a spokeswoman for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which oversees Wildlife Services.
Wildlife Services declined to make Olson available for comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
When asked whether it was acceptable practice to have dogs attack trapped animals, Bannerman responded: "In terms of a trapped animal, that would be considered unacceptable."
Bannerman explained that Wildlife Services regularly educates ranchers on various non-lethal methods that can be used to protect livestock – including better fencing, guard dogs and night patrols.
But, she said, "Sometimes ranchers will come to us at a point and say, 'Okay, we're trying all these things and we're still experiencing a loss."
To the farm industry, predator control is a critical factor in maintaining the success of the nation's agriculture.
"We do not condone inhumane or cruel treatment of any animals," said Paul Schlegel, director of public policy for the American Farm Bureau Federation. "At the same, our farmers and ranchers recognize the important role played by USDA's Wildlife Services office."
"Livestock producers and row crop farmers all have significant investments in the land and in producing the food and fiber upon which millions of Americans depend," Schlegel said. "We support effective predator control programs that assist farmers in bringing their products to market and recognize the important role those programs play in helping to feed and clothe America."
But Campbell and Defazio, as well as various environmental groups, claim the government's mission is excessive and cruel – and argue it should not be the taxpayers' responsibility to protect private land and livestock.
Strader's statements, for example, illustrate a particularly dark side of the agency's killing methods.
"They wanted every single coyote killed," he said.
Strader said he was often tasked with hunting for coyote dens while working for the government in remote areas of Utah and Nevada. He described how he would lower his stethoscope into the hole and listen for breathing or whining from the coyote puppies. Then he would drop a phosphorus bomb into the den and cover its opening with dirt.
"The bombs burn so fast and so hot that it sucks all the oxygen out of the hole," he said. "They suffocate."
"I had to kill hundreds of coyote pups and pregnant females," Strader continued. "If you found a coyote den, you just bombed it."
Strader, as well as several others, including a management source within the USDA, also charged that Wildlife Services employees often do not abide by trap-check laws — meaning animals can be left for days in traps where they die from starvation or the elements.
Strader claims his job was terminated in 2009 after he alerted supervisors to alleged wrongdoing within the agency. He said his views on trapping animals have changed since he left.
Coyotes primarily feed on small mammals, like rabbits, rodents and squirrels, but they can also prey on larger animals like deer and livestock. Biologists say natural predators, like coyotes, are vital to a healthy ecosystem because they keep other species' populations down. And the more coyotes that are killed, the more coyotes will reproduce. If a member of the pack is killed, for instance, the alpha female responds by producing more litters.
"Not only is this ethically indefensible, it's ecologically insane," Camilla Fox, executive director of Project Coyote, said of the killings each year by the predator control program.
A culture of cruelty has existed within the agency for decades, according to critics.
Rex Shaddox, a Texas law enforcement officer who worked for Wildlife Services in the 1980's, said he left the agency – which at the time was called Animal Damage Control – after a particularly disturbing occurrence.
Shaddox said he and other workers were ordered to report to a city dump in Uvalde, Texas, to witness agency officials experiment with M-44 sodium cyanide on dogs from a local pound that were supposed to be euthanized.
"We were told to watch as they held the dogs down and shot cyanide into their mouths, one by one," he said. "I went home and cried that day. And then I quit."

How to Clean Up Your Initial "MyPoly" Screen
From EG1003 Lab Manual
This page's accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information. The information displayed on this page has been deprecated and is kept for historical purposes only. There may or may not be information relevant to the current course curriculum.
For many of your courses, the initial screen on MyPoly may show multiple entries for one course. For example, EG1003 Section A2 will probably show up as 3 sections, with names like A2LB, A2LC, and A2RC (for Lab, Lecture, and Recitation, respectively). Of these multiple sections, one is the "primary" section and the others are subordinate to it. As a result, it is important to use the proper section for submitting work to things like the Digital Drop Box, and it would usually be helpful to have the "chaff" of sections you don't need to see removed from the screen.
Fortunately, this is easy to do. When the initial screen appears, your list of courses is usually in the top right corner of the screen. At the top is the blue "My Courses" bar, with two icons on the right side. The first icon is a dash, and minimizes the list, the same way that a window would be minimized. The second icon looks like a pencil eraser. If you "hover" the mouse over this icon, a small popup appears, with a caption of "edit the My Courses module". Click this icon. This will bring up a new window called "Customize My Courses" with three sections. Section 1 is called "Modify Courses List", and is followed by all the courses that show on the initial MyPoly screen. Immediately behind the section titles, you'll see a column titled "Display Course", with a line of check boxes below it. Probably all the boxes are checked, so all these courses are displayed. Uncheck the boxes for the things you don't want to see, and click "Submit". The initial screen will appear, but be MUCH easier to use.

Q: Fetch API - CORS issues with http and https I got some trouble with Fetch API. When I launch this code :
fetch('https://g.tenor.com/v1/search?q=love%20is%20war&key=3TXJWOV3UY1V&limit=8')
    .then(response => response.json(),{headers:headers})
    .then(data => {
    console.log(data) // Prints result from `response.json()` in getRequest
    })

From http://quenouillere.fr/, it works without any issues. But when I want to use it from https://quenouillere.fr/ , it won't works with a CORS Issue. It detect that the origin isn't the same (because it's http who launch the request, and https who receive it)
I search on Internet, but nobody seems to have this issue.
CORS issue on https
Thank u for ur answers in advance :)

A: I tried your request from the console tab of stackoverflow and everything was working fine because we send this header (in the request, this header is added automatically by your browser so you have nothing to do for it) :
Origin: https://stackoverflow.com

And we receive this header from the response :
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://stackoverflow.com

I try the same request (your code basically) in the console tab of another website (here it was slack) and the header send is the request is (as expected) :
Origin: https://app.slack.com

But I received this in the response :
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://stackoverflow.com

I checked (with network tab, Postman and Fiddler) and the second request has no mention of stackoverflow...
I don't know exactly why but it seems the server associate the origin with something from the sender (maybe the IP?) so you're stuck with the same origin for the moment...
So basically https://quenouillere.fr/ would have worked if it was your first try...
Best you can do is contact them directly.


The ministry, in a tweet, said that it "had received few concerns regarding the draft e-Commerce Policy following which the minister has directed officials to conduct another round of consultation with stakeholders to address them.
Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu today asked his officials to undertake another round of stakeholder consultations for the draft e-commerce policy as concerns have been raised on some proposals.
The initial draft e-commerce policy has suggested several steps to promote the growth of the fast growing sector.
It said online retail firms may have to store user data exclusively in India in view of security and privacy concerns.
It has stated that any group company of an online retailer or marketplace may not be allowed to directly or indirectly influence the price or sale of products and services on its platform, a move that could completely restrict e-tailers from giving deep discounts.
Further, the draft recommended permitting 49 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in inventory-based business-to-customer e-commerce model. Currently, FDI in such businesses is prohibited and it is allowed only in the marketplace model.
Besides, it has talked about adopting a common definition of e-commerce for the purpose of domestic policy making and international negotiations as currently there is no commonly accepted definition.
In the context of international trade negotiations, policy space for granting preferential treatment and imposing customs duties on e-transmission to digital items created in India would be retained.
Further, it recommended steps for increasing use of RuPay. The steps could include identifying deficiencies in infrastructure, providing budget, branding, and addressing quantitative deficiencies in service for wider use of RuPay cards.
However, certain online firms have welcomed the draft policy. Travel e-commerce firm Travel Unravel Holidays has hailed the move to form a single regulator for the sector.
Additionally, it will prevent monopolistic tendencies of big players to usurp the market and infuse competitiveness and fair play in the travel business, he said.


Recently I was introduced to stoving and pressing tobacco and some of the presses seemed a bit small to my liking so I built one and will try it out tomorrow because I need to clean it up and I shorted myself some washers and stainless nuts. My Idea behind it is I can press different size cakes from 1" to 2" in the same press by changing an insert and copper cup. Once it is used I'll update how it worked.
Looks very well built...not like some that just seem to be thrown together. Let us know how it worked out fer ya.
That looks amazing. You've got skills, buddy.
That is a very nice press. Mine is just PVC and a vice. Should have some yummy tobacco come out of that.
Nice Ken! I've never pressed tobacco but that seems like it will work well. Keep us in the loop and I look forward to seeing the results!
Cool! I'm pasta pressing right now, but you'll get much better pressure with that thing.
If that container is copper you might want to consider something else.Copper usually imparts a nasty taste to things that come in to contact with it. In addition, consider using it to make small batches of Perique.
If that container is copper you might want to consider something else.Copper usually imparts a nasty taste to things that come in to contact with it.
Looks much nicer than my bean can and C-clamp setup. I line the can with damp thin Cedar sheets from cigar boxes.
I was thinking the same thing, you might want to look at stainless steel? I do know that citrus and vinegars have a reaction with SS though when doing food preparation, so take that into account for acidic reaction.
If copper is so bad, why do they make cook ware out of it?
Copper cookware is usually lined with tin or steel I believe.
Tin is the traditional lining, going back perhaps a couple of hundred years. I suppose some would now sport teflon.
Nice work! I wonder about a shellac or other coating if the copper proves problematic?
If I were to build this I would use schedule 40 ( white water) PVC for the tube. Then for the pressing insert I would find either quarter or half inch lexan or plexiglas. All of the above can be washed and kept clean.
Got my first pressing in and will know in a week what I have. I appreciate the concern about using copper but I used it for years in my previous life brewing beer with no ill tastes whatsoever. I burnt it out with a torch to remove impurities and then boiled it to sanitize it. I'll know in a week if something goes wrong and will adjust accordingly.
Copper has always been used with a lining of tin or some other metal, because of the reaction to acids. My copper cookware either has tin or teflon as a coating. 'Bout the only thing you can use bare copper is with whipping egg whites, there the copper helps with the egg whites in making meringue.
I think copper lines the outside of some cookware to face the heat. Myself, I go for the good old fashioned iron skillets and pans.
Ken, look what I missed!! Superb craftsmanship and will definitely give you the press you need for that perfect plug. Good luck my friend 👌👍👍. I'll smoke a bowl with you at next years TAPS in Raleigh.
Copper is best for whipping egg whites for meringue or part of a double boiler for a perfect hollandaise sauce.
So whats loaded in the chamber?
awesome rig, BUT also... What are you pressing?!
It's a stoved VaPer and the blend is another members blend and I'm sworn to secrecy. Thanks to McWiggins he got me started stoving and pressing and I just wanted a little more out of a press.
Every new experiment is like opening a Christmas gift.
When I was in my homebrewing days my brew pot was the boiler in an old large coffee urn and it was solid copper inside and out. All my cooling coils and transfer pipes were copper also. The only time the beer wasn't in contact with copper was fermentation because 1/2 kegs were a lot cheaper than making something out of copper. I never had any issues with leaching from the copper. I did research on copper and tobacco and there are actually trace amounts of copper and other heavy metals in it so I have to at least try it out and see if it messes with the tobacco. If it does it's off to the scrap yard for some stainless.
Looks a hell of a lot sexier then my noodle press! Nice job!
And a lot better than my c-clamp, PVC pipe, wood blocks and wax paper. But hey, I can still crank that baby down until the tobacco is as hard as a rock.
Ask addamsruspipe. He has a chunk of Boneyard that I squeezed the life out of.
Ask addamsruspipe . He has a chunk of Boneyard that I squeezed the life out of.
I'm still having thoughts of turning the impact driver loose on it and see how it holds up. I'll probably wait for the second one to be done and try it then. Need to see how much it will take.
I havent pressed anything in a while.
Rodsdiverged is right. I had bowl of the unpressed first, then had some of the pressed. There was a significant difference, the pressed is much better. Good stuff.

Rich's Ride takes a stand against modern day slavery
Anna Henning, Editor in Chief|April 13, 2021
Bikers from the 2020 freedom tour, along with Rich Dixon (front) pose during a break in their ride. This group biked over 200 miles in four days.
It is estimated that 25 million people around the world are trapped in modern day slavery. These people, both adults and children, are often exploited for forced labor or commercial sex. Human trafficking is a serious problem facing the world today, and former Poudre School District teacher Rich Dixon decided to do something about it.
Every summer, Dixon organizes bike rides to raise money to fight the issue, called the Freedom Tour. He donates all proceeds to a home in South Asia that rescues kids from human trafficking. He has been doing this for ten years. On top of that, Dixon is a wheelchair user, and shares his story with the hopes to inspire others to overcome their own obstacles.
It was just another day for Dixon in 1987 when his entire life changed. He was on his roof, hanging Christmas lights. Dixon recalls the day as, "One minute I was on the roof, enjoying life, and the next minute I was looking up at a paramedic saying, 'hey, everything's gonna be okay.' I had no idea what happened. About three hours later the doctor said, 'paralyzed from the chest down.'" Dixon fell nine feet to the ground, which he claims "wasn't very far" to end up with an injury as serious as his.
After the accident, Dixon became very angry and depressed. He completely gave up on himself and life. "You can't have a life, when you're paralyzed from the chest down at 36 years old, right? I just wanted them to leave me alone, and roll me into a corner, so I could die." That was Dixon's mindset when he first became wheelchair bound. He sat inside for twelve years, not doing anything.
Hope lets us believe our pain won't be wasted. Hope changes what's possible."
— Rich Dixon
In a TEDx Talk he did in 2015, Dixon recalled this time in his life as a time without hope. "I had lost hope, and without hope, we die inside, even when our hearts keep beating. Hope is what lets us dream. Hope lets us look forward with a confident expectation of the future. Hope lets us believe our pain won't be wasted. Hope changes what's possible."
It was the people that worked hard to not let Dixon give up that brought him back to loving life. In 1999, one of Dixon's friends encouraged him to try hand cycling—basically biking with hands doing the pedaling instead of feet. Dixon at first thought this was a stupid idea, and believed there would be no way he could be able to do it. Finally, after his friends bugged him for so long, Dixon gave in; not because he wanted to try, but because he thought it would get his friends off his case. It took him thirty minutes to ride up and back a block, because he was so weak; he has not been moving much in twelve years. Despite how much time it took, Dixon was hooked.
Dixon smiles as he hand cycles on a ride. The bikes to the left of him represent all of the previous tours he has participated in. (Dixon)
"When I got done with that, I couldn't wait to do it again. It was so amazing. The feeling of freedom, that I got out of that, was indescribable," Dixon reflected. For the first time, in over a decade, he had found hope once more.
In 2011, Dixon participated in the ride of his life. He handcycled 1,500 miles along the entire length of the Mississippi River. He began in Minnesota, and ended in New Orleans. It took him eight weeks. Dixon's wife, Becky, was his "one person support team" along the way. From this ride, Dixon raised 60,000 dollars for Convoy of Hope, an organization that feeds starving children around the world.
When planning this ride, Dixon believed it would be a one-time thing. "When we got done, we thought we were done. On the way home, [Becky and I] looked at each other and said, 'we're not done, are we?'"
Dixon met some people on his ride who were also participating in a fundraiser bike ride. They were riding 500 miles to raise money for the International Justice Mission, and taught him a bit about the cause. The International Justice Mission aims to end modern day slavery and human trafficking. Because of this, Dixon took the time to visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati.
"Visiting that place was life changing, because I had no idea about modern day slavery. The history that I learned in school was that slavery ended in 1865 when the Civil War ended. Well, that's just not true. And I was absolutely shocked. Throughout that tour, we had the opportunity to learn more about what's going on right in front of our eyes," Dixon said. From there, Dixon found a new cause he wanted to raise money for, and the Freedom Tour was born.
The history that I learned in school was that slavery ended in 1865 when the Civil War ended. Well, that's just not true. And I was absolutely shocked."
Dixon and his wife created a nonprofit called Rich's Ride, and they held their first group ride in 2013. It started simple, with just hanging a sign up at their church asking if anybody wanted to go biking with them. Dixon recalled, "We really didn't know if anybody would go, we had no idea. No idea what we were doing, no idea how to organize a group bike ride. We just said, we think we want to raise some money for this organization called Project Rescue. So let's see if anybody wants to go riding, and seven people were crazy enough to go with us."
Over the years, the Freedom Tour has evolved to include many different ride routes and lengths. The original route was from Cheyenne to Raton Pass, but Dixon "added a one day ride for people who couldn't take a week off or weren't stupid enough to try to ride 500 miles but still believed in the cause," he said. Three years ago, the Freedom Tour adopted the Colorado Mountain Tour route, which rides over four mountain passes. Dixon likes to mix up the routes every few years, to keep things different and exciting.
In the nine years of doing the Freedom Tour, Dixon and his fellow riders have raised over a quarter of a million dollars for a home in South Asia. The nonprofit Project Rescue supports an orphanage called the "Home of Hope," which houses 22 kids who have been rescued from human trafficking. This house cares for 22 to 25 kids at one time, and looks after them until they graduate from high school.
As a part of the Freedom Tour, every rider gets a jersey showing off the cause. Every year's jersey contains handprints on them, which are the actual handprints from the children who live at the Home of Hope. (Dixon)
"Those kids were born to mothers who were forced into sexual slavery. And that would have been their lives as well. They were rescued out of that life, and they live in this orphanage. Basically, they have a shot at a kind of life that would never have been possible otherwise," Dixon explained.
The reason Project Rescue separates these children from their mothers is because these mothers are still forced into this slavery, and it is too dangerous for them to leave. If their kids grow up with the mothers, they will grow to end up in slavery as well. By giving their children to places like the Home of Hope, these kids get a chance to break the cycle of slavery, and have a chance to be free.
Dixon and his wife wrestled with how to fight human trafficking when first starting the Freedom Tour. They did not want to give their money to a big organization, because they wanted to know where their donations would be going and how they would help. Therefore, Dixon selected the Home of Hope as the focus point of his support.
"We know the kids, we've watched them grow up. We've been with these kids for now nine years. Most of them were five, six, seven years old when we first started working with them. We get to see pictures of them once in a while. There's a connection that wouldn't be there if we were just handing our money to an organization that fights human trafficking."
Dixon's dream goal is to fully support the Home of Hope. He wants to be able to provide for all the needs of this home to help them have as many resources as possible. In order to do this, they would have to raise 100,000 dollars a year. While they are not quite there yet, Dixon is hopeful that the tour can reach this goal.
For Dixon, getting out and riding has always been his favorite part of the Freedom Tour. He enjoys getting to meet and talk with the riders and volunteers, and share with people not a part of the event about the cause.
This year, the Freedom Tour Classic is offering many different options for those who want to participate. On June 19, there is a one day event with different routes. People can ride for 15, 25, 50, or 62 miles, depending on which route they choose. The shorter tours are perfect for the family to get involved, and are not too intense for those who want to ride leisurely. This year Dixon has also added a two day ride, which will be on June 19 and 20. Riders will go 100 kilometers on the first day, and 100 miles on the second.
For those who want to really challenge themselves, the Colorado Mountain Tour is a six day ride on July 22 through July 27. It is 290 miles long and contains 20,800 feet of climbing. Meals, snacks, support, and overnight housing will be provided for this ride.
Besides biking, there are many other ways people can get involved with the Freedom Tour. These events would not be possible without hundreds of volunteers annually. These volunteers drive support vehicles, set up snack and hydration stations along the routes, help with registration, and prepare meals for riders. This is a way to support the fight against human trafficking without riding, and it is just as important.
Dixon wants people to know that the Freedom Tour is more than a fundraiser. He believes it is a community. People come together annually, meet new people, and form close friendships. Dixon claimed, "Those friendships last beyond the time that we're riding bikes together."
Those friendships last beyond the time that we're riding bikes together."
Additionally, Dixon wants to raise more awareness to human trafficking through getting more people involved. Whenever someone signs up to volunteer or ride, they tell their friends, and Dixon wants people to understand the cause he is riding for and why it is important. He does not believe in guilting others into donating, but that educating is more important. In the long term, this will be more effective in spreading awareness than convincing someone to give a couple of dollars, in Dixon's opinion.
Although he is a wheelchair user, Dixon feels hopeful and free, thanks to his amazing support system and bike. He is continuing to organize bike rides to support the Home of Hope, and to bring awareness to modern day slavery, because it is far from gone in 2021.

Q: Otto does not call to @Subscribe I am working in a Hello Otto basic project in order to learn a bit how it works. This is my BusProvider over Otto 7.0.1. In MainActivity I have two buttons, after tap on the first one I post a string in the bus object. This is my BusProvider
public class  BusProvider {

    private BusProvider() {}

    private static Bus bus;
    public static Bus getInstance() {
        if (bus == null){
            bus = new Bus();
        }
        return bus;
    }
}

MainActivity who will sent a String to Main2Activity using the bus class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Bus bus;
    @Bind(R.id.myButton)Button mButton;
    @Bind(R.id.button2)Button mButton2;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        setLibreries();
        this.bus = BusProvider.getInstance();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
    }

    public void setLibreries(){
        ButterKnife.bind(this);
    }

    @OnClick(R.id.myButton)
    protected void buttonPressed1( ){
        Toast.makeText(this, "click on the 1 button",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        BusProvider.getInstance().post("HELLO OTTO");
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Main2Activity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }

    @OnClick(R.id.button2)
    protected void buttonPressed(){
        Toast.makeText(this, "click on the 2 button",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}

Main2Activity how receives the String
public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Bus bus;

    @Bind(R.id.this_is_a_text_view) TextView myTextButter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
        bus = BusProvider.getInstance();
        ButterKnife.bind(this);
        myTextButter.setText("HELLO");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        BusProvider.getInstance().register(this);
        super.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        BusProvider.getInstance().unregister(this);
    }

    @Subscribe
    public void gettingStringPosted(String message){
        Log.d("OTTO", "OTTO subscribe has been called "+message);
        Toast.makeText(this,message,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    }
}

The problem is that the Toast with the message I am sending in MainActivity to Main2Activity

HELLO OTTO

is never showed.
What I am doing wrong?

A: The problem is that your Main2Activity has not been registered yet to Otto when your BusProvider.getInstance().post("HELLO OTTO"); line comes.
Here is how your code does:

*

*Bus.post()

*Bus.register()

This is how it should go:

*

*Bus.register()

*Bus.post()

You can't solve this by moving the line BusProvider.getInstance().post("HELLO OTTO"); under the startActivity() call because Activity.onResume() might not get called straight away so your register call (in onResume) could still happen after post call. I hope this makes sense to you.

A: This is just example of otto, to make sense how it is. Let's assume you have a service, and in it getting locations and sending to activities.
public class TrackingService extends Service {

    Bus bus;

    LocationListener mListener = new LocationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            bus.post(new MyLocation(location));
        }
    };

    // Other service related methods..

}

And activity
@Override
protected void onResume() {
    BusProvider.getInstance().register(this);
    super.onResume();
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    BusProvider.getInstance().unregister(this);
}

@Subscribe
public void locationChanged(MyLocation location){
    Toast.makeText(this, "you got new location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Thats just it.
BTW, and this is the what i mentioned for you in my comment
In MainActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), Main2Activity.class);
intent.putExtra("MY_INFO", "INFO");
startActivity(intent)

In Main2Activity
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.view);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String info = intent.getStringExtra("MY_INFO");
}

The 2011 MN NOW State Conference, in photos
As a writer by profession, words rarely fail me, yet here I am, grasping for how to summarize one of the best weekends in recent memory. That should give you an idea of how inspiring, thought-provoking, and uproarious Minnesota NOW's 40th anniversary conference was! I'll have to let these photos speak for me. All were taken by our Legislative Coordinator Jessica Trites Rolle.
The opening address was delivered by Sen. Al Franken (as we at MN NOW like to say, "first on the agenda, first in our hearts!"). Sen. Franken reiterated his commitment to fighting for equality in the Senate.
Katie Stack, star of MTV's "No Easy Decision," talked about her participation in the show, and how the experience transformed her from a mild-mannered college student to a reproductive rights crusader!
At a panel on intergenerational feminism, Ami Wazlawik wisely rejected a 3rd, 4th or 5th Wave label and advised all to call her "AWESOME" instead. Gloria Steinem and Rebecca Walker could not be reached for comment.
It was my great honor to present Barbra Peterson with the award for 2011 Feminist of the Year. Our Vice President is a tireless champion for equality, whether she's hobnobbing with Senators or delivering calves on her farm in rural Sandstone.
It was also a pleasure to recognize Mary Ann Gaspar, the beating heart of Minnesota NOW, for her nearly 15 years as our Office Coordinator. Gina Schedivy, the conference organizer, holds the Charlotte Streibel Long Distance Runner Award, given to those who have demonstrated long term commitment to feminist action. Mary Ann's work is behind the scenes, often unlauded or unrecognized, but without her we're nothing!
After lunch, we heard from Minnesota's First District Representative, Tim Walz. When his daughter, Hope, was born in 2001, Rep. Walz became a member of NOW as an investment in her future. His speech was so inspiring, in fact, that the conference's southern MN contingent decided it was high time that Mankato had its own NOW chapter. Watch for your invite in the mail, Hope!
Speaking of girls, Nancy Gruver knows 'em. The founder and editor of New Moon Girls, she reminded us that the simple act of saying "it's not fair!" can be the beginning of a girl's feminist consciousness. After her talk, I purchase a discounted subscription to the magazine for a very dear 11-year-old friend via this link: http://www.newmoon.com/offer/?code=MNNOW
It was a day with friends old and new, of connecting Facebook friends with actual faces, of networking, learning, and fun! Including….
CAKE! You can't celebrate 40 years without cake, can you??

Christian Heinrich von Watzdorf, ab 1719 Graf von Watzdorf, (* 11. August 1698 in Crostau; † 12. Juli 1747 auf der Festung Königstein) war ein sächsischer Hofbeamter und Musikmäzen aus der Familie von Watzdorf.

Leben
Watzdorf war das zweite von neun Kindern des sächsischen Kammerherrn und 1719 in den Grafenstand erhobenen Christoph Heinrich von Watzdorf (1670–1729) und seiner Frau Wilhelmine Friederike geb. von Bock-Blosheim († 1744).

Watzdorf studierte 1718–1720 an der Universität Leipzig und wurde anschließend Kammerherr am Hof Augusts des Starken in Dresden. 1722 unternahm er eine Grand Tour, die ihn u. a. nach Venedig und Rom führte; in Venedig wohnte er wahrscheinlich einer Aufführung von Tomaso Albinonis Oper Gli eccessi della gelosia bei und lernte den Komponisten persönlich kennen. Zurück in Dresden, avancierte er 1724 zum Hof- und Justizrat. Im Juli desselben Jahres wurde er nach Parma gesandt, um eine eheliche Verbindung zwischen Johanna Magdalena, einer Tochter des Herzogs Johann Georg von Sachsen-Weißenfels, und Antonio Farnese, dem jüngeren Bruder des Herzogs von Parma, anzubahnen. Als diese Mission scheiterte, begab sich Watzdorf nach Florenz, wo er im September 1725 Prinzessin Violante Beatrix von Bayern so grob beleidigte, dass sie sich sowohl beim toskanischen als auch beim sächsischen Hof über ihn beschwerte. Trotz mehrmaliger Aufforderung, nach Dresden zurückzukehren, traf Watzdorf erst im August 1726 wieder dort ein.

Nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1729 erbte er die Güter Wiesa, Birkenheide und Crostau, dessen Kirche er drei Jahre später eine von Gottfried Silbermann gebaute Orgel im Wert von 1700 Reichstalern stiftete. 1730 wurde Watzdorf, der wiederholt Beziehungen mit Bauern- und Bürgermädchen einging und mehrere uneheliche Kinder zeugte, von einem Pächter der Vergewaltigung seiner Tochter angeklagt. Das Verfahren endete zwar mit einem Freispruch, hatte aber im April 1731 Watzdorfs Entlassung aus der sächsischen Landesregierung zur Folge.

Als 1733 Friedrich August II. Kurfürst von Sachsen wurde, fiel Watzdorf endgültig in Ungnade. Neben einem persönlichen Konflikt mit Geheimrat Heinrich von Brühl spielte dabei Watzdorfs Forderung eine Rolle, die Domherren außerhalb der landesherrlichen Gerichtsbarkeit zu stellen (er selbst war seit dem Tod seines Vaters Domherr der Stifte zu Meißen und Naumburg sowie Dompropst des Stifts St. Petri zu Bautzen). Watzdorf wurde im April 1733 wegen Hochverrats verhaftet, auf die Festung Königstein gebracht und im November 1735 ohne Prozess zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt; strafverschärfend wirkten sich dabei seine ständigen Konflikte mit dem Festungskommandanten und dem Wachpersonal aus. 1734 wurde ihm die Stellung als Kammerherr, 1737 die als Dompropst von Bautzen und Domherr zu Meißen und 1742 die als Domherr zu Naumburg entzogen. Mehrere Versuche, beim Kaiser in Wien Berufung gegen das Urteil einzulegen, schlugen fehl. Als Watzdorf 1747 nach 14-jähriger Haft im Alter von knapp 49 Jahren starb, fiel sein Vermögen an den Staat; neben den Landgütern gehörten dazu auch eine Bibliothek mit mehr als 8000 Bänden sowie zahlreiche Musikinstrumente.

Mäzenatentum
Johann Mattheson erwähnte 1722 in seiner Zeitschrift Critica Musica, dass Watzdorf "ein grosser Kenner der Music seyn soll". Heute ist sein Name vor allem noch mit der sehr gut erhaltenen Orgel Gottfried Silbermanns in Crostau verbunden. Watzdorf war auch der Widmungsträger von Tomaso Albinonis 12 Balletti e sonate a tre op. 8 (Amsterdam 1722) und von Ernst Wilhelm Herzogs Biografie des Komponisten Johann Kuhnau (Leipzig 1722).

Today's summer tunes and art post is sort of a combination of both. This video from Boards of Canada from their album, 'Tomorrow's Harvest' is a bit of an art piece I'd say and it's not hard to kind of get pulled in and swept away in it; especially near the end where it feels as though you're flying. So I'll leave it at that. Enjoy and wishing you a fantastic weekend!

Mlamba High School is an ultra modern School which was built through with the funding of donors from Morocco and Constituency Development Fund (CDF),Mwatate constituency. However, the school infrastructure is yet to be completed i.e science laboratories (partly done), hostels, dining hall, staff houses, sporting fields and land scaping which still require monetary assistance for the school to realize its full potential.
The foundation stone was laid down on 30th November, 2004, by the then Vice-President of Kenya, H.E Moody Awori.
Upon the completion of the first phase which comprised of administration block and classes the school was officially opened on 31st August, 2007 by the 3rd President of Kenya, H.E Mwai Kibaki, thereby admitting the first batch of students on 10th March 2009. The first (Admission number 0001) student to be admitted in school was Carolyne Mwamachi who coincidentally happens to have been the School's star in athletics and cross-country representing the school and coast region as a whole for three consecutive years in the National's secondary schools sports championships.
The Pioneer Principal was Mr. Mwachofi Mwaghesha whereas the pioneer Chairman Board of Governors (BOG) was Mr. Leonard Mwashumbe.
With the absence of boarding facilities the school usually admits students from the nearby primary schools. However, those from far make their own arrangements for accommodation. Currently, the students roll is 218 and is expected to move up to 300 and above in the near future.

The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI) developed an inventory of current activities on FLEGT in Bolivia tocontribute to a growing awareness among key Bolivian stakeholders on FLEGT and its implications for the local timber industry. This study describes progress made and challenges encountered.
The CBI Policy Intelligence study was done in coordination with the Chamber of Exporters of Santa Cruz (CADEX) and the Timber Task Force (TTF) in Bolivia in order to answer to the need in the Bolivian timber sector for more clarification on the new EU Timber Regulation, which will come into force in March 2013, and its implications for Bolivian timber exports to the EU market.
A team of consultants implemented a desk study and a field mission. Both in Bolivia and in the EU several companies that trade Bolivian timber, and other relevant stakeholders in the sector, were interviewed.
