Temporary fuel & trip permits are available to facilitate transportation through a state for which a carrier does not have the proper fuel or registration credentials. Since these permits are issued for short durations and are quite costly they should only be used when obligations mandate.
Temporary Fuel Permits are issued to cover a carriers operation for which they do not have current IFTA credentials or a fuel permit for the intended state of travel.
Trip Permits are issued to act as a temporary vehicle registration when traveling into a state for which they are not apportioned or registered. This applies to both IRP apportioned carriers and carriers that are not apportioned due to having mainly intrastate operations.
Combo Permits are offered by several states and combine both fuel and trip permits at a reduced fee. If you need both and a specific state offers a "combo", ordering this is less expensive than ordering both separately. Other states only offer a combo and in this case it's and/or a fuel and trip permit.
In general, if your vehicle meets or exceeds any of the below listed criteria, you must secure a temporary fuel or trip permit when not permitted or apportioned in the state for which you intend to operate. If you are in doubt please call us @ 1-800-722-8059 before ordering to determine if you must secure any temporary permits to comply.
Arizonia: All for hire carriers operating a vehicle with 2 or more axles (regardless of weight).
New York, Kentucky, Oregon & New Mexico also require mileage permits. Oregon and New Mexico temporary mileage permits are available from their port of entries. NY & KY mileage permits can be ordered through our office or website.
The following pertains to carriers with operations in New York or Kentucky.
New York - All vehicles 18,000 pounds and over must have a NY HUT. This permit is available as a temporary that will convert to permanent. All tractor trailer units that transport any type of fuel must get an AFC permit for trailer as well as a HUT for Power unit. All straight trucks that transport any type of fuel must get an AFC permit only. Please order all AFC permits by calling 1-800-722-8059.
Kentucky - All vehicles with an actual or registered gross weight over 59,999 pounds must have a KYU number. Available as a temporary but must apply via application to secure permanent. If time allows it is advisable to secure permanent credentials. Please call 1-800-722-8059 or Email us at truckingauthority@permitsplus.com for more information on how Permits Plus can do this for you.

- Also allow import of CSV from /import/ folder. All images uploaded into folder with CSV file. Then CSV file is scanned and processed.
Images imported, Titles assigned, Descriptions added, Location data inserted. etc.... Album added, Sub-Album added, etc.
Does that make sense? So rather than uploading just via a normal Ajax \ Flash uploader, instead it imports and processes the files uploaded into a folder on the server. Once importing (moving) is complete, it then sets up the data for each resource; where titles and descriptions and other information is added against the resource. Whether it be video files uploaded and imported or photographs. The aim is that these files do not need to be manually named, and given a description!
This would make life so much easier when it comes to managing the gallery with a large number of photographs \ videos \ files and galleries \ sub-galleries \ sub-sub-galleries and so on.
Please let me know your (positive) thoughts.
Second row (Row 1) is first item.
Formula for A3 (Row 2) would be [b]=IF(B2<>"", A2+1, "")[/b] which means if above line for status is empty, then do not increment unique ID.
So primary gallery is where it lives. Secondary galleries are where the media is also linked too, separated by a |.
So that is simply an example (limited fields) of what could be done. Excel is magic. I am more than willing to help create a template to show you how easily something like this can be done and how much quicker it is at adding new content and updating existing content!
Now save as XLSX file. Then save as CSV file. (you don't want to lose all your formula when saving it as a CSV without saving your changes to the primary "DB" first! Done!
,,,,,,,,,,, << these lines are ignored if you have blank lines in Excel (just from containing formula in Excel) but when saved as CSV they are removed and ignored.
Thanks for all your suggestions, which are being considered for RC (release candidate).
We kinda have Disqus integration already, and this is a perfect combo in my opinion. In the X3 app, which does not use DB, we would not even consider trying to build a native commenting system that even Wordpress with 100s of developers and 10 years of experience are not doing so well with currently ... WP websites are turning to Disqus also, simply because its more effective.
Thanks again for all suggestions in this thread!
1) Allow to customize the contact form.
2) Support for sending Thai language.
I am apologize for remind you again. Thank you very much.
I would be happy to use a third party extension, and just paste the html code into the contact page to change it.
This enables Karl to continue working on more important things.
If others want a contact for, use a Contact Form Generator - heaps are free and online, others are scripts you upload online and it outputs the code for you.
Save my Search - Ability to save people's searches, should they wish to run the same search again. Obviously not cached results from last time, but when executed again, display new results.
- Share searches, Popular searches and perhaps the ability to turn a search into an Album or Slideshow!
@Karl, I think for visitors, registered members and contributors who are engaging in the site, if they have the ability to save their searches and have some sort of side panel displayed on the search page (i.e. advanced search) or within their profile area, it would save you not having to have bookmarks, and you could even subscribe to that "Gallery" which is really a Filtered Results Gallery. The benefit being you could receive notifications of any new additions would be queued and every week or end of each day, have a summary of the results emailed to the member. Subscribing to a saved filter as well as saving a search as a custom filter would be very helpful features. RC!
p.s. Latest version inside my Read Me is "X3 Beta v0.9". Not 0.9.1 Beta. Weird!?
Great idea, I've forgot it. Thank you.

This is all fine, but yo have to use an unattractive iframe to embed these online forms hosted on 3rd party service, and it won't inherit the style of the X3 skin . Without embedding remotely with iframe, you can't add a custom form into an X3 website without also uploading custom PHP code ... Thus, we do aim to offer proper form-creation functionality native to X3.
Bulletproof IT wrote: Save my Search - Ability to save people's searches, should they wish to run the same search again. Obviously not cached results from last time, but when executed again, display new results.
All good, but as "search" is not currently a functional feature of X3 for many reasons, expanding it is not a priority.
I already have my own list, but I wanted to get suggestions for "Release Candidate" from a fresh canvas, just to see what users are most in need of, even though most suggestions are already on my list. I still need to filter my list.

About facebook share button integration.
The disqus share button is not share a current page.
This is not a dedicated "Facebook" share button, it is a "Share with Third Party's" button.
So it allows you to share with dozens and dozens of services.
It should share the current pages content and choose a thumbnail automatically, or ask you select one.

If you genuinely think an iframe is required,I can throw something together and show you?
Fields like: name, email, phone, drop-down, checkboxes, radio, value changer, text area, upload and attach, captcha, send button.
No problem Karl. I'm here to help.
I know that is not facebook share button. It is share for disque link.
I have recommend for the Facebook share button integration.
It is not possible to "send" a form without using PHP, so either these forms require iframe and are hosted elsewhere, or they are just "form templates" that don't work until someone builds the PHP for them. In both cases, a bit useless if you ask me.
The disqus sharing-implementation is not something we actively promote, although I do see that it is working ... X3 will soon have native social sharing for sure.
Why would you need PHP to send a form???
<form>, <input />, <textarea></> and all other tags are HTML \ xHTML.
You can combine it with JS for validation and XSS\CSRF verification or form injections against spam submissions and attempted hacking etc etc.
You do not need to touch PHP with a ten foot pole it's not funny!
So again I extend my offer. If you want me to compile an example form with fields, then it would show how easy it is to implement. Everyone needs at least one contact form, and should have the freedom of creating additional contact forms (among other content types) for each primary gallery for an installation.
Whatever I can do to throw something together to save you time, let me know. I am more than happy to help Karl.
You don't need anything more than this - it handles all my form JS, CSS plus file attachements, blocking certain file types, etc.
Not really sure how would you send an e-mail (or file) not using server side script?
All of the above is a client side part (js/css) that runs in a client browser and cannot send mails itself.
Also, all these files for just a contact form (even including file upload) looks to me like a huge overkill All you need is a single js file with FormData interface, and just a few bits in X3 CSS to keep the layout matching.

Does the Tyrolean crossing (zip line) from Tyrol?
I have heard some people claim that the Tyrolean crossing is named after the Tyrol region in Austria, but I cannot find any reference to it.
Is this practice from Tyrol?

wiki says yes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip-line
– Zenon
@Zenon-does WIki have a decent reference in footnotes? If so, make that and answer and you're done :)
The thread below is the only mention of the people first responsible for the traverse. This is credited as Tita Piaz and Hans Dülfer (although due to the lack of quantity of information there may have been others involved).
Of note is this translation of the wikipedia article on Tita Piaz:
It is also popular with climbers for inventing the technique of rappelling . Today his technique, which went into disuse with the advent of harnesses and modern belay devices , is known simply as "Piaz method" or "Dulfer-Piaz" (also the mountaineer Hans Dulfer is considered the inventor of this technique).
And this one from the Hans Dülfer wikipedia page:
In addition to success in climbing, layback was very important for the technical innovations introduced. The best known are the techniques of abseiling that still bears his name, Dülfersitz, 3 and the technique for ascending layback cracks in the rock.
Also of note is this mention in Pilgrims of the Vertical:
...and by 1900 Hans Dülfer, Otto Herzog, and Hans Fiechtl had refined and systematized aid climbing. They forged harder pitons for the thinner cracks, steel snap-links (carabiners) to connect pitons to the rope, and rope ladders (etriers) to attach to pitons. but the values inscribed in their climbs and writings had already reshaped the sport.They also created new techniques such as a body belay to hold falls, a way to wrap the rope around a body and rap- pel downward, and a method of penduluming.
Thread: History of the Tyrolean Traverse:
Piaz and Duelfer were contemporaries-- Piaz claims to have done the first, but I doubt that we could definitively credit one or the other at this point. There's no doubt that it was part of the technical innovation to come out of the Dolomites and the Kaisergebrige in the Tirolian Alps. Pitons, rappelling, tension traverses, aid climbing, stirrups, pendulums, and the Tirolian traverse were all developed by Bavarian, Tirolian and South Tirolian climbers in the late 19th and early 20th century.
http://ezra.cornell.edu/posting.php?timestamp=1302159600
"'Tyro' is short for Tyrolean Traverse, a climbing system using ropes to horizontally cross a barrier such as a raging river, a crevasse, or, in this case, one of Cornell's famous gorges. It was first developed by climbers in the eastern Alps of Austria/Italy, in a region called Tirol. Think of it as a practical zip line, where the goal is not to go fast, but to simply to cross an otherwise impassible barrier."
History of the zipline:
There's no doubt that it was part of the technical innovation to come out of the Dolomites and the Kaisergebrige in the Tirolian Alps. Pitons, rappelling, tension traverses, aid climbing, stirrups, pendulums, and the Tirolian traverse were all developed by Bavarian, Tirolian and South Tirolian climbers in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Up to 7,000 new jobs and 1,000 new homes for Croydon as town centre redevelopment approved
The transformation of Croydon town centre will begin in 2019 bringing with it up to 7,000 new jobs for local people and 1,000 new homes.
The £1.4bn redevelopment proposal for the Whitgift Shopping Centre by the Croydon Partnership – the joint venture between Westfield and Hammerson – was this evening unanimously given the green light by members of the council's planning committee.
As well as thousands of construction jobs, the exciting mixed use scheme will bring with it thousands of other roles in over 300 shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities including a multi-screen cinema and bowling alley which will cement Croydon's reputation as one of the best destinations in the capital to live, work and play.
The Partnership's plans were first granted planning permission in February 2014, but last October an enhanced outline planning application was submitted featuring some key revisions, including more housing, a third level of retail and leisure and a new flagship Marks and Spencer store.
Croydon has been working closely with the Croydon Partnership, the Greater London Authority (GLA), and Greg Hands MP the Minister for London, to ensure the scheme continued to progress as quickly as possible.
The new retail and leisure facility comes at a time of significant redevelopment in Croydon town centre which includes the £30m refurbishment of Fairfield Halls.
Councillor Tony Newman, leader of the council
"This is fantastic news for Croydon and we have been doing everything we can to bring the redevelopment of the Whitgift Centre to fruition so local people can benefit from its wealth of offerings, including the creation of 7,000 new jobs.
"The new homes and the thousands of jobs this development will bring shows investors are rightly confident about Croydon as a place to live, work and spend free time. I am delighted contractors will be on site in 2019 to kick-start the exciting transformation of the heart of our town.
"I'd personally like to thank the Greater London Authority and Greg Hands MP the Minister for London for their continued support for this project.
"I'm pleased we have reached this major milestone in the delivery of a world class retail and leisure facility and it's another step to reinforcing Croydon's growing reputation as one of London's top destinations."
John Burton OBE, Westfield UK/ Europe's head of development, added: "The approval of the £1.4bn plans to redevelop the Whitgift Centre represents a significant milestone for the project and for Croydon. Retail-regeneration projects have a proven track record to deliver transformation and regeneration which is evidenced by the £5.25bn of inward investment planned for Croydon.
"The positive response from the London Borough of Croydon provides confidence to retailers, investors and the community, enabling the Croydon Partnership to create South London's best retail, dining and leisure destination and deliver new homes and 7,000 jobs."
Peter Cole, chief investment officer of Hammerson, commented: "Our goal remains to deliver a world-class retail and leisure destination to attract new visitors to Croydon and enhance economic growth in the town. We are pleased with the level of retail demand which has driven the evolution of the design and layout of the new scheme, and we look forward to progressing our plans and transforming Croydon into one of the UK's top 10 retail and leisure destinations."
Greg Hands MP, Minister for London, said: "I am delighted that after convening two meetings of all concerned parties, here at the Department for International Trade, we will now see construction taking place. This major redevelopment of the Whitgift site will bring huge benefits to Croydon and London with thousands of new homes and jobs.
"This is a great example of local and central government working together with private investors and it shows once again London's enduring appeal for international investment. As Minister for London I'm delighted to be supporting the project, and seeing it secure planning approval."

Q: strategy.opentrades not true on execution bar close Is there a way to have strategy.opentrades == true on the execution bar close or a different variable be positive?
Many thanks
With process_orders_on_close = true, orders are executed on bar close. However, after bar close, strategy.opentrades remains false until the next bar.

A: No, that is not possible. As a workaround, you can use a variable for that and figure out if you will be entering a position on the current bar.

March of folly: Israel's fresh hope for a two-state solution
In an ironic twist of fate reminiscent of occupied Algeria, it is the settlers themselves who may ultimately bring about a new drive for peace with the Palestinians
From far away it may seem that the peace process between Israel and its neighbors is utterly hopeless. Prime Minister Netanyahu, after a series of promising speeches at the outset of his term, has given no indication of readiness to compromise and has not met with any Palestinian partners. His latest pronouncements are focused almost entirely on Iran; his widely reported Bar Ilan speech on two states for two peoples seems to have been become yet another meaningless slogan devoid of content. Yet there do seem to be some harbingers of change, with at least two new trends worthy of note.
The first is the movement for social change that emerged last summer and is still bringing protesters out into the streets. There are a number of targets for the protesters' ire, including tycoons, banks, and the ultra-Orthodox who get preferential treatment and budgeting. As the left has found itself in the fore in these protests, old slogans are reemerging: people are beginning to wonder how cutbacks can be justified when the government is spending half a billion shekels on roads alone in the territories and an estimated NIS nine billion a year on building, infrastructure, security, and more.
To some extent it is disappointing that economics may be the what turns the tide of public opinion. Over the years the left has presented a wide range of arguments for withdrawal. There are, first and foremost, the moral issues involved in occupying another people's land and denying them the right to self-determination. There are security arguments regarding the folly of trying to maintain control of a hostile people and territory adjacent to ours. There is the problem of international public opinion, which of course condemns this violation of international law. There are economic arguments that decry the terrible waste of resources used to develop the settlements and to placate the settlers, rather than to develop Israel proper as well as social and other services for its citizens. There is the concern for the moral and physical well-being of our soldiers, who waste years of their lives — and often lose their lives — trying to "defend" Israel's right to occupy a hostile and alien land. In recent years there has finally been an awakening to the demographic and ethical problems: do we want to insist on holding hostage 3.5 million Palestinians at the cost to us of losing a majority as well as the historical right to a nation-state for the Jewish people? How can Israel maintain its identity as a democracy if it denies citizenship and the right to vote to Palestinians living in the territories it claims for itself?
Horseback riding on the hilltop settlement of Migron (Photo credit: Kobi Gideon/ Flash 90)
Yet Israel has continued to build and maintain settlements, with several hundred thousand settlers living on land that is not ours. Today one can see the beginning of what could be called the "Algeria scenario." What this means is that, ironically, it may the right — and not the left — that will finally bring about a turnaround in policy.
Thus the second new impetus for finally relinquishing control over the West Bank may, ironically, come from the settlers themselves. Over the last several years Israel's ultra-right wing government has been accepting and even encouraging even the most outrageous demands of the settlers. Costs have been ballooning, building has accelerated, and the government has been finding ways to whitewash even the most blatantly illegal acts by the settlers, including construction on private Palestinian land, vandalism, and acts of Jewish terror.
The settlers have crossed what many have felt to be red lines. They have attacked Israeli soldiers who have been sent to carry out court and army orders. They have attacked Israeli army bases and high-ranking Israeli officers. Leaders of the settler community have called on soldiers to refuse to carry out orders for evacuation, and some of the "naarei hagvaot" – the wild young settlers taking over hilltops – have been rejected from induction. Perhaps they will succeed where the left has failed, and finally get us out of the territories?
Algeria was considered part of France for more than 100 years. It was formally annexed in 1848 and administered as if it were part of the mainland. Yet in the late fifties, the local population began to demand independence. By 1954 approximately half a million French troops were stationed in Algeria in order to maintain French control as war broke out. President de Gaulle was elected on a platform guaranteeing that Algeria would remain French. But the French, non-Muslim, anti-independence population became as radical and vicious, if not more so, than the locals demanding independence. Their violence became directed even toward the French troops. Their extremism horrified the French electorate and eventually brought about a huge shift in French public opinion. No one wanted to defend them or their hold on Algeria any more.
What has happened is that the settlers themselves have become so drunk with their own successes that they are turning public opinion against them. They made what may be their worst error by making Netanyahu their target when they sent their representatives to a Likud Party caucus and voted against him — Netanyahu, who has done more to indulge the West Bank settlers than any other Israeli leader. Netanyahu retaliated briefly by bringing in the centrist party Kedima into the government, thereby considerably diluting the coalition's right wing – but that alliance of convenience was short-lived.
Barbara Tuchman wrote that government action qualifies as folly if it entails "a perverse persistence in a policy demonstrably unworkable or counter-productive." In her seminal book on the subject, "The March of Folly," she addressed a long history of such policies in venues as varied as Troy and Vietnam. If she were to scan the nearly five decades since the book's publication she would find no better modern example than Israel's occupation of the West Bank. Perhaps the effects of economic practicalities and a lunatic fringe will help us out of our own predicament – even if common sense and moral responsibility have hitherto failed.

New Coal Plant Proposed, Opposed in Ben Hill County
December 18, 2009 JONATHAN SPRINGSTON Leave a comment
Power4Georgians, a consortium of electric cooperatives, announced plans to construct yet another coal-fired plant in south-central Ben Hill County.
The 850-megawatt plant would be located on the Ocmulgee River near Fitzgerald and north of the proposed Plant Washington near Sandersville.
"If proposed Plant Ben Hill is anything like its cousin in middle Georgia, Plant Washington, we can expect more than a hundred pounds of mercury to enter our air every year from this plant," Deborah Sheppard, executive director of Altamaha Riverkeeper, said in a press release. "Much of this mercury would further contaminate the fish and our families in the Altamaha River basin."
Georgians For Smart Energy has this:
While these plans have been kept quiet and the public is just learning about them, the proposal to create Plant Ben Hill is active, according to Dean Alford, president of Allied Energy Services (AES) and spokesman for Power4Georgians. Alford recently met with members of the Fall-line Alliance for a Clean Environment (FACE) and noted that he was developing Plant Ben Hill as well as Plant Washington. Conservative cost estimates for construction of both proposed coal-burning plants is more than $4.6 billion – more than $13,800 in debt for each of the 333,133 EMC members in the Power4Georgians consortium.
"Large-scale coal combustion at the headwaters of the Satilla River would create mercury pollution which would be deposited throughout the Satilla watershed," John Carswell, acting executive director of Satilla Riverkeeper, said. "If they build a coal-fired plant in Ben Hill County, I don't know if folks around here will be able to eat anything out of the Satilla. Our river has fed families for generations. We don't want to lose our river."

Chicago Real Estate News
From Redlined To Recognized: The Revival Of Chicago's 'Black Metropolis'
Chicago View count:
February 22, 2018 Chuck Sudo, Bisnow Chicago
Chicago's Bronzeville is the birthplace of Black History Month and one of America's most culturally significant black neighborhoods. During the Great Migration of the early 20th century, intrepid entrepreneurs, faced with restrictive real estate covenants and a lack of resources, created scores of groundbreaking businesses and entertainment options, earning Bronzeville the nickname "Black Metropolis."
New York Public Library Digital Collections, Public Domain
Men line up outside the Chicago Urban League at 3032 South Wabash Ave. in Bronzeville in 1922.
Today, the boundaries that prevented blacks from moving outside the neighborhood are the foundation to expose Bronzeville to a global audience, and spur economic and real estate development.
"I call Bronzeville 'the community of the future' because we have everything we need in place to make it happen," Bronzeville Community Development Partnership President Paula Robinson said.
Restrictions Breed A Cultural Boom
The Supreme Life Building, 3501 South Martin Luther King Drive
In the first few decades of the 20th century, restrictive real estate covenants and redlining imposed by lenders effectively penned blacks to within Bronzeville. The area earned the "Black Metropolis" moniker for its high concentration of black-owned businesses and because it was an endpoint for blacks fleeing the Deep South for better job opportunities.
The ingenuity of Bronzeville business owners was trailblazing and historic. Bronzeville was home to Supreme Life Insurance, the first black-owned insurance company in the northern U.S., and the influential black-owned newspapers The Chicago Bee and Chicago Defender. The Wabash Avenue YMCA was the social and educational center for blacks arriving in Chicago from the South, and where historian Carter G. Woodson created "Negro History Week," the precursor to Black History Month.
These boundaries — from the Dan Ryan expressway east to the lakefront, and 18th Street south to 67th Street — are being used by a new wave of entrepreneurs, flipping the script of disenfranchisement and leveraging their history to bring about new developments. The most notable is a proposed Bronzeville Metropolis National Heritage Area that would attract local and international tourism to the neighborhood.
This area is also home to a proposed tech hub, is a potential Amazon HQ2 site and qualifies for federal empowerment zone funds. Robinson said this area incorporates the four resources she identified for an economic rebound: an abundance of historical landmarks, transportation infrastructure, population density, and buildings and land that can be repurposed for modern use.
From Restrictions To Relevance Via National Heritage Designation
Chuck Sudo/Bisnow
Bronzeville Community Development Partnership President Paula Robinson
Robinson's goals for Bronzeville are sweeping. She aims to boost tourism and black-owned businesses, provide new business opportunities and turn the south lakefront into a vital amenity for the community. The tool: getting Bronzeville designated a national heritage area. A national heritage area is a federal designation recognizing that the history of an area is of historic and cultural importance to the nation. The designation opens the area up to federal funding, can generate economic development and can attract tourists. Bronzeville's application, which would come with $10M earmarked for preservation projects, is stalled in Congress, but Robinson is still pushing hard for it. She envisions the Bronzeville Metropolis National Heritage Area as having the same effect the Pullman National Monument is already bringing to Pullman, increasing traffic and interest.
The first small steps have begun. The Supreme Life Insurance building was purchased by the Black Metropolis Convention and Tourism Council in 1996. The group rehabbed the building and opened the Bronzeville Visitor Information Center in 2005.
Robinson was instrumental in helping the group obtain federal empowerment zone funds for the project. It was her first taste of real estate development, something that has become a focus for her.
"I wear a lot of hats. I'm a booster, a marketer, a historian and a preservationist," Robinson said.
She is working on big developments in Bronzeville. BCDP is part of the development team for Burnham Lakefront, the redevelopment of the Michael Reese Hospital site led by Farpoint Development. The Reese site, a historic teaching hospital and nursing school, was bought by the city as part of its effort to land the 2016 Summer Olympics, and sat vacant for the next decade while the loan the city took out to buy the site became an anchor in annual budgets.
When the Obama Foundation announced the search for the Obama Presidential Center, BDCP put together a team including architecture firm HOK to draft a proposal to bring the Obama Presidential Center to the Michael Reese site. The site would have anchored a "necklace" of South Side lakefront museums and brought high connectivity fiber to Bronzeville.
"We envisioned Obama, as the nation's first tech-focused president, needed a high level of connectivity for his center. Through him, we were gonna get the South Lakefront wired," Robinson said.
The Obama Center chose another Chicago location, but Robinson is still pushing Bronzeville into the spotlight for big opportunities, including pitching the Reese site for Amazon HQ2.
Draper and Kramer Vice President Gordon Ziegenhagen, whose firm is part of the Burnham Lakefront team, said Robinson is a serial entrepreneur.
"She's a wealth of knowledge about Bronzeville because she's so good at making herself a part of it. When she finds a need, she wants to find the right party to fill the void or fill it herself, especially with regard to the Bronzeville Metropolis National Heritage Area," Ziegenhagen said.
"No one has really picked up the mantle like she has."

Draper and Kramer is another pioneer in Bronzeville's revitalization. It started developing in Bronzeville in the 1950s, spurred by a wave of urban redevelopment in Chicago and across the country, and driven by a strong desire to invest in a community that was not seeing private investment.
"Being in Bronzeville is not solely profit-driven," Ziegenhagen said.
Draper and Kramer's Lake Meadows encompasses over 100 acres on the east side of King Drive, from 31st to 35th streets, and falls within the national heritage area's proposed boundaries. Lake Meadows is home to a 193K SF grocery-anchored shopping center and 2,000 apartments. In late 2015, the firm filed plans with the city to add 162K SF of retail, 230 new apartments, hotel and commercial space. LA Fitness opened a 40K SF location at Lake Meadows in March 2015, and Chicago's first Culver's opened at Lake Meadows last month.
Culver's franchise owner Barron Waller said his new store is the next step for Bronzeville retail development. It provides Bronzeville residents with jobs and, more important for Waller, a community gathering space. The store's walls are decorated with artwork by local artists and historic photos from Bronzeville's golden age.
"I grew up in the neighborhood and I know that what residents need here is a sense of ownership in what is happening here," Waller said.
Ziegenhagen said Draper and Kramer's relationship with Bronzeville residents has been generally positive. Most of his career has been spent in the neighborhood, and he has found residents and community groups willing to work with developers because they know firsthand what is missing.
A Future Smart Hub

Robinson said Bronzeville also holds the necessary tech and transportation infrastructure assets to transform the neighborhood into a smart community. Bronzeville is home to the Illinois Institute of Technology. CTA's Red and Green Lines intersect the neighborhood and King Drive is home to several CTA bus routes. The Dan Ryan expressway and Lake Shore Drive provide direct access to downtown. Bronzeville's northern edge, and the Burnham Lakefront site, connect directly to McCormick Place.
The Antero Group worked with BCDP on mapping these assets and lay the foundation for an "Innovation Metropolis" within the heritage area's boundaries. Antero Group Senior Project Manager Andrew Johansson said residents understood they had these assets in place; they just needed the assets mapped.
Arguably the biggest asset Bronzeville has in its favor is an abundance of open lakefront space. Johansson said it is an underused amenity that, developed smartly, can improve the quality of life for Bronzeville residents.
The Burnham Lakefront plan has the potential to bring lasting change to Bronzeville's infrastructure. Early reports indicate the redevelopment will include housing, a tech hub, parkland, a pedestrian walkway to the lake and a new Metra station at 31st Street. All of these details are things Robinson spent years lobbying for. Robinson also wants stronger ties connecting Bronzeville to McCormick Place, which would help encourage tourism and new development while building on the area's cultural past and breaking down barriers.
"We came here during the Great Migration to find work. Now we need to create our own jobs," Robinson said.

Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, yesterday, cast his vote at his Kofar Wambai polling unit 004 in Lafia without using the card reader.
The card reader assigned to the polling unit failed to work and the INEC officials decided to use incident forms to accredit voters.
The governor, who came to the polling unit alongside his wife, Mairo, and the North Central zone National Vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Suleiman Wambai, spoke to journalists shortly after casting his vote.
He expressed satisfaction with the voting process and also commended the security situation in the state on Election Day.
Al-Makura, who is the senatorial candidate for Nasarawa South senatorial district, said he was confident of victory.
Sunday Sun also monitored the election in the northern part of the state where the ADC senatorial candidate for Nasarawa North, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, expressed confidence that he would defeat her opponent.

Club Baloncesto Agustinos Eras, también conocido como Agustinos E.Leclerc dormir por su patrocinador, la cadena francesa de supermercados E.Leclerc, es un club de baloncesto con sede en León, Castilla y León que actualmente disputa la competición de LEB Plata, la tercera división en las competiciones profesionales del baloncesto español.

Historia
Agustinos Eras se fundó en el año 2007 tras la fusión de dos escuelas de León (Colegio Agustinos y el IES Eras de Renueva) e inicia su andadura como equipo filial del Baloncesto León.

En 2010, el club se separa de Baloncesto León y dos años más tarde se une a la competición de la Primera División (quinto nivel de competición en España). En su primera temporada logra el ascenso a la Liga EBA en 2013, venciendo en el grupo de Castilla y León de la Primera División y quedando segundo clasificado en los playoffs de ascenso.

Desde su debut en la Liga EBA, el club siempre se ha clasificado para los playoffs de ascenso a LEB Plata, pero nunca logró el objetivo de subir de categoría. En julio de 2016, tras su tercer intento fallido, CB Agustinos Eras lograba una plaza vacante en dicha competición. Para su primera campaña como club profesional, Ángel González Jareño, antiguo entrenador jefe de Baloncesto León, fue seleccionado como responsable técnico del equipo.

Para su segunda campaña en LEB Plata, 2017/18, se produce una completa renovación del cuerpo técnico de la primera plantilla del club. Jorge Álvarez Sierra pasa a ser el entrenador principal, tras dos temporadas como segundo entrenador de Ricard Casas en la liga de Angola el Primeiro de Agosto. Completan el cuerpo técnico Diego Cuesta, Joaquín González y el preparador físico Pablo Martínez. Por el lado de la plantilla, apenas un jugador, José Antonio Medina, se mantiene de la temporada anterior como capitán del equipo, apostando esta temporada por un bloque de jugadores jóvenes nacionales complementado con Andre Norris, Donovan Smith y Andraz Kavas como jugadores foráneos.

Nombre del equipo
Agustinos Eras E.Leclerc 2013–2014
Agustinos Leclerc 2014–

Logo del equipo
A partir del año 2016, y como consecuencia del ascenso del club a la competición de LEB Plata, se intenta dar una imagen más moderna y profesional del club, así como una mayor identificación con la ciudad de León. Con esto en mente se realiza un nuevo diseño del logotipo oficial, que incluye un león rugiente bajo el cual se añade el nombre del club. Según palabras del club: "Nos hemos basado en dos referentes: un balón de baloncesto y un león. De esa unión nace esta nueva imagen que quiere transmitir garra, entrega y pasión por el baloncesto"

Brutalism is a design philosophy that is bold and stark. Very rough around the edges, it's quite the opposite of many of the more smooth and subtle design elements we often see on the modern web.
In some ways, this style harkens back to the web of yesteryear (think of the mid-1990s). Back then the roughness of web design was more a result of a lack of tools, technology and standards than it was a fashion statement. In our current time, brutalism is more about standing out and, in some ways, simplifying the web.
From left: Bloomberg, Quartz, and The Verge.
Let's dig a little deeper into three websites who, to some degree, use elements of a brutalist design. We'll discover just what makes their punch-in-the-gut style work. Then, we'll show you how you can turn your WordPress website into a brutalist buffet through the use of unique themes and design elements.
Founded in 2011, The Verge is an online magazine that focuses on technology and how it affects our lives. You'll also find a large dose of pop culture and some outstanding longform writing.
The site's take on brutalism hits you right from the start. A grungy, purple-to-pink background pattern (vaguely reminiscent of David Lee Roth's pants) sets the stage for an extra-bold white text logo. It's bright, it's loud and it leaves you with no doubts about where you dare to browse.
Just below is a grid of top stories that is bold – but in a different sort of way. Each story gets a photo, headline and author. It's dead simple and, through use of large white text on a black background, is right in your face.
Quartz began in 2012 with an eye towards covering the "new" economy. Here you'll find business headlines from around the world along with a mix of politics and culture.
Earlier, I mentioned brutalism as kind of a throwback to the 1990s. Quartz's home page really seems to be in that category. The top headline is set in huge black text (hovering over it provides an awesome surprise). Underneath are four, somewhat staggered columns of other features (again with thick black text headlines).
Further in, individual stories feature a very stark layout consisting of a bold headline, full-screen photo and a very simple content layout below.
Quartz stands out as a true brutalist website through and through.
You probably wouldn't expect an institution the likes of Bloomberg to use elements of brutalist design on their website. Yet, one look at their website – and in particular, the Asia Edition – shows that even this large, pre-web media company (founded in 1981) isn't afraid to make a bit of a design statement.
True, this isn't an all-out brutal design. But their implementation of bold headlines that envelope a good portion of rainbow-tinged photos and a plethora of sharp edges lend Bloomberg some real street cred. After all, big business can be brutal.
Bloomberg's straightforward design choices provide for an excellent UI. Each article in the grid listing has its own moment to shine and is very easy to read. This site is a great example of how even more traditionally buttoned-down organizations can benefit from taking a few design risks.
We've found some well-known websites that use elements of brutalism in their design. Now, let's check out some WordPress themes and other artistic elements you can use to bring a similar style to your own site.
Da is a WordPress theme that has an interesting mix of brutalism and minimalism, which sort of go hand-in-hand. It features a very plain color palette (mostly black and white), oversized header text and just enough rough edges to provide a bold, sophisticated look.
Calafate makes use of a grid portfolio on the home page that allows images to stand out nicely against a black background. Top-to-bottom, the theme's layout is simple. Secondary pages, like the staff member bio shown above, are quite bold. There are a few smooth scroll effects here and there, but overall the look is anything but over-styled.
Fancy graphics? You're not going to find them here. Textual is a WordPress theme that brings the focus to the stuff that matters – the words. The layout harkens back to a time when the web really was text-centric (probably because we had underpowered computers and really slow connections). Just think about how fast it's going to load on that new-fangled broadband connection.
This single-column page from the Min theme isn't there to make anyone say "wow". It's there to get you the information you need without any fuss. The theme moves things a bit forward from the 90s to a time when WordPress first arrived on the scene. Back when you wanted just a simple blog and weren't worried about gigantic slideshows or CSS3 special effects.
While the themes reviewed above offer basic style and layout, adding the right graphical elements can really lend to the style of sites like The Verge, Quartz and Bloomberg's Asia Edition. Here are a few examples of images that you can use to build your brutal online empire.
In an age where websites are expected to be pretty and fit together seamlessly, a bit of a design rebellion is healthy. The sites reviewed above are proof that you can use bold, bright and even loud design elements to great effect. While going full-on brutalist may not be the ideal choice for every type of website, using bits and pieces of it can be a welcome addition.
This style is actually about more than just making things look rough and unpolished. There is a simplicity in brutalism that can lead to websites that are easier to use and more accessible. In that way, maybe we can all use a bit of brutalism in our designs.

To help our friends at Red Site Wins get properly underway, we'll be hosting the next installment of Ertai's Trickery there, beginning today.
This latest Trickery will blend three different Vampire decks in the current Standard Environment, so drop on over and say hello!
At last we are ready to assemble the Mad Machinist's Mash-up! Over the past week, we've taken the cards from three different Artifact-based precons (Planechase's Metallic Dreams, Archenemy's Assemble the Doomsday Machine, and Duel Decks: Elsepth vs Tezzeret's Tezzeret deck), and pared away cards in search of making a cohesive whole.
As we said in the beginning, we won't always make the same choices that you might, and we're certainly not against being wrong on occasion, but the end result should be a deck that blends the strengths of all three, capable of holding its own even moreso against Elspeth's deck in the Duel Decks. In our next (and last) installment of this Trickery, we'll be taking the Mash-Up to battle against her mono-White deck. So let's go deckbuilding!
Once again we return to the lair of the Mad Machinist, and continue our Frankensten-like work on a hybrid deck combining the best elements of three different preconstructed decks! In the past three episodes of Ertai's Trickery, we're looking to build a powerhouse Artifact deck out of the 180 cards afforded us by Planechase's Metallic Dreams, Archenemy's Assemble the Doomsday Machine and the Tezzeret deck from Duel Decks: Elspeth vs Tezzeret.
In earlier articles, we've narrowed the colour scheme down to Blue/Black, and have made early rounds of cuts on our removal, and selected cards that would give us a steady dose of card advantage.
By the end of today's column, we'll have our second round of cuts comeplete, and ready to start deckbuilding! All that remains are critters, counters, and miscellany, and we'll hit them all today!
Welcome back to the next installment of our latest series, Ertai's Trickery! Our goal is simple: make a solid 60-card deck out of a very limited card pool: Planechase's Metallic Dreams, Archenemy's Assemble the Doomsday Machine and Tezzeret's deck from Duel Decks: Elspeth vs Tezzeret. In past episodes we settled on a colour scheme and began to look at removal. Next, we'll be looking at ways to get the most out of the 60 cards we settle on.
Welcome back to the next installment of Ertai's Trickery! We're back in the machine shop, exploring the considerable number of trinkets and artifacts we've salvaged from Metallic Dreams, Assemble the Doomsday Machine, and Tezzeret with an eye to assembling the most powerful, most lethal, and most foe-crushing collection of 60 cards we can, before leading them to bloody retribution against that most nettlesome, meddling Planeswalker, Elspeth! Muahahaha!!!
Sorry, got carried away there for a moment. Anyway, in our last installment we made all the easy, colour-based cuts. Since the Mad Machinist's Mash-Up is going to be Blue/Black, we're now down to only those cards that will work within that framework, but we still have way too many for a deck. It's time for the next round of cuts, and some difficult decisions.


OpenSpending pages generally support multiple representations, at least a user-facing HTML version and a JSON object that represents the contained data. For various technical and non-technical reasons, most of the data is read-only.
HTML (Hyptertext Markup), MIME type text/html or any value not otherwise in use, suffix .html. This is the default representation.
CSV (Comma-Separated Values), MIME type text/csv and suffix .csv. CSV is only supported where listings can be exported with some application-level meaning.
The key resources in OpenSpending are datasets, entries, dimensions, and dimension members. Each of these has a listing and an entity view that can be accessed.
All datasets are listed, including their core metadata. Additionally, certain parameters are given as facets (i.e. territories and languages of the datasets). Both territories and languages can also be passed in as query parameters to filter the result set. Supported formats are HTML, CSV and JSON.
Core dataset metadata is returned. This call does not have any parameters. Supported formats are HTML and JSON.
A listing of dimensions, including type, description, and attribute definitions is returned. This call does not have any parameters. Supported formats are HTML and JSON.
"description": "The entity that the money was paid from"
The returned JSON representation contains the dimension metadata, including type, label, description and attribute definitions.
This call's return includes dimension metadata, but it may be too expensive to call for just this aspect.
This will return the data stored on a given member name of the dimension, including its name, label, and any other defined attributes.
Listing all the entries in a dataset (and offering export functionality) is handled by the full-text search. See the search API.
This will return a full representation of this entry, including all measures and all attributes of all dimensions. The entry id is a semi-natural key derived from dataset metadata which should be stable across several loads.
A CSV representation is available but will only have one row.
