In the City of Fontana (population 184,862), a recent study of residents by the San Bernardino County Department of Health reported that 76 percent of adults and 36 percent of youth are either overweight or obese. Of those surveyed, 40 percent do not walk for transportation, fun or exercise. During the 2005-06 school year, only 22 percent of Fontana's 5th, 7th and 9th graders met all six California Department of Education school fitness standards.
In response, the city created the Healthy Fontana program to combat the growing epidemic. With the support of the mayor and city council, Mayor Pro Tem Acquanetta Warren challenged the community to become fit and active. "This program began as a way to proactively educate and challenge our Fontana community to become fit," says Warren.
The Healthy Fontana program is working to create an active and livable community that helps residents understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Healthy Fontana has four major components: Nutrition and Smart Choices, Active Living and Exercise, Smart Growth and Development, and Community Partnerships and Working Together.
The nutrition component teaches residents how to lead healthy lives in ways that are both convenient and economical. A Fast, Fresh and Fabulous Cooking Class promotes the importance of eating five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables daily. Participants learn new ways to prepare healthy meals with ingredients that are readily available in neighborhood markets.
The office of County Supervisor Paul A. Biane established an annual Health and Safety Fair in June 2008. This event evalu ates each participant's overall fitness and includes different types of health screen ings. Healthy Fontana and the city play an active role in this event, from planning to promotion and participation.
Through a grant funded by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, a Step Out to Wellness program encouraged employees to exercise and con sume fruit and vegetables every day. Employees tracked their daily food intake and physical activity and had access to cooking classes, stress management resources, massages and information on stability training and ergonomics.
Step Out to Wellness also issued a fitness challenge that involved nine different municipal departments competing against each other in volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, golf and more. Angelica Baltazar, Healthy Communities program coordinator for the county Department of Public Health, says, "Healthy Fontana has excelled in creating a community that promotes an active lifestyle — truly making it a healthy place to live, work and play." More than 250 employees partici pated in the program. As a result, many departments started their own fitness and nutritional programs.
Through a partnership with a local fitness club, Healthy Fontana offers an affordable Health and Fitness Boot Camp for residents. Designed to encourage people to focus on health and fitness, the boot camp has become popular among residents and city employees, increasing enrollment by 75 percent since its launch in June 2007.
The Healthy Fontana program is reaching out to different age groups to promote physical activity throughout the city. The Smart Kids after-school program has incorporated a Healthy Fontana hour, during which more than 1,800 kids at 22 different sites are involved in physical activities.
As a result, two local elementary schools have approached Healthy Fontana to help them start walking programs for students and faculty.
Healthy Fontana's Smart Growth- Development component focuses on the development of mixed-use communities that combine business, residential and social areas to improve community connectivity and walkability. In summer 2008, Healthy Fontana offered the first of a series of workshops that included city and school planners, police management, economic development staff, planning commissioners, city council members and local developers. The workshops focused on smart growth concepts and walkable communities.
Healthy Fontana staff also plays an active role in the Development Advisory Board, composed of several city departments and community organizations. The board is designed to bring the smart growth, connectivity and walkability concepts to new development and redevelopment within the city. Discussions are under way to devise ways to improve walkability by requesting that developers build wider sidewalks, establish trails and, when possible, assist with completing segments of the 21-mile Pacific Electric Trail, which follows an abandoned railway corridor that runs through Fontana.
Future Healthy Fontana projects include a safe route to school program, new parks, developing a trail connecting homes with workplaces and expanding the senior transportation program.
Healthy Fontana's fourth component involves building strong partnerships with community organizations. To highlight Heart Awareness Month in February 2008, Healthy Fontana partnered with San Antonio Community Hospital to provide heart awareness and educational materials, promotional items and a monetary donation for the cooking class. In addition, staff worked with the hospital to expand a community lecture series about cardiac health.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the departmental fitness challenges, Healthy Fontana is using part of a recent $10,000 grant from Kaiser Permanente as continual funding for the monthly events and to encourage other businesses in the community to start their own employee health and wellness programs.
The Healthy Fontana program and its partners are committed to changing the face of the local obesity and diabetes epidemic by providing residents with a healthy, walkable community and programs that enrich their quality of life.

Home News Cage-Free Egg Law Enacted By Washington State
Cage-Free Egg Law Enacted By Washington State
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed a law that phases out the production and sale of eggs from caged hens, regardless of where the eggs were produced. The measure follows similar actions in California and Massachusetts, where ballot initiatives have required changes to housing requirements.
In addition to banning cages and requiring more space per bird, the law also mandates that hens be provided with enrichments, including scratch areas, perches, nest areas and dust bathing areas.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will not publish the number of layers in the state of Washington so as not to divulge individual farmer totals, but the agency did put the total number of eggs at 185 million. If the 7.5 million people in Washington consume eggs at the projected per capita rate of 279 per person, Washington will need to import eggs from other states, National Association of Egg Farmers president Ken Klippen said.
Klippen noted that USDA's "Cage-Free Shell Egg" report, released on Dec. 3, 2018, estimated the total U.S. cage-free layer flock (non-organic cage-free layers plus certified organic cage-free layers) at 51.16 million birds. USDA's December 2018 "Chicken & Eggs" report estimates the total U.S. table egg population at around 325 million hens, which would put the current cage-free layer flock at 17.6% of the total U.S. layer flock. It is estimated that less than 1% of U.S. hens are currently housed in enriched cages.
Bloomberg reported on April 11 that McDonald's is about a third of the way to meeting its goal of sourcing eggs entirely from cage-free hens in the U.S. by 2025. The expected surge in demand has sparked barn upgrades across the country over the past several years, with producers building facilities that give hens a bit more space. This increase in supply is reducing cage-free eggs' market premium over regular eggs. The narrowing in prices comes amid an overall egg glut in the U.S., and demand for products from cage-free flocks still lags behind capacity, Urner Barry's Brian Moscogiuri noted.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) claimed victory for passage of the law in Washington.
Kitty Block, HSUS president and chief executive officer said in a blog post, "The HSUS has spearheaded the passage of this law and others in a dozen states – from Florida to Ohio to Arizona – to eliminate extreme confinement. These successes bolster the work we have done with some of the largest food corporations in recent years, both in the United States and globally, to end cruel cage confinement practices by their suppliers. As a result, lawmakers and corporations are increasingly realizing that the future is cage free."
Block said in Washington, HSUS partnered with Democrat and Republican legislators, key stakeholders in the agriculture sector and other leading animal protection groups to ensure the bill's success.
"The laws in Washington, California and Massachusetts set a great precedent for other states and countries to follow and further support corporate policy commitments reforming how farm animals are raised. Let's keep the momentum going as we work toward the day when no farm animal is locked in a cage," Block noted.

Earlier last week I had one of those days. My heart felt broken, my eyes could not stay awake and no amount of caffeine could break me from my slump. As the day went on, the jingle of a popular blue box of macaroni and cheese came into my head. With the words, " I've got the blues" playing in my head, I began craving a rich, indulgent cure for my heartache. Rather than succumbing to the blue box, I searched through my food blogs to find a recipe that would distract me long enough in the kitchen. Once I stumbled upon White on Rice Couple's One Pot, Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese I knew I had found a remedy.
Because the recipe requires constant attention, it was just the thing I needed to help clear my focus. Not only does it use only one pot, but also the lack of baking means it can be enjoyed on even the hottest summer days. The recipe is also flexible enough so that it can be prepared with various combinations of cheeses. Despite the popular slogan of that specific macaroni and cheese box, making the dish from scratch on the stovetop is an easy, satisfying prescription for the blues.
I used whole grain shell pasta for this recipe, but you can easily substitute any type of large elbow macaroni.
Place raw macaroni in colander and quickly rinse under water. Let drain.
In a medium saucepan, about 2 quart, melt butter over medium heat and add diced onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add milk, raw, rinsed macaroni, salt and pepper.
On medium heat, slowly bring mixture to a simmer, stirring the macaroni frequently. Stirring will separate the pasta and keep them from sticking to one another. Do not leave the stove; leaving the mixture unattended could result in an over-boiled mess.
Once mixture comes to a simmer, immediately turn heat down between medium and low. Too-high heat will evaporate the milk too quickly.
Continue to stir the mixture frequently for about 15-20 minutes, or until milk has been fully absorbed and pasta is cooked al dente. Judge to taste. If pasta is not fully cooked after this time, add a little more milk or water to the mixture. Liquid amount will depend on how much longer pasta needs to cook.
When milk has nearly evaporated and thickened, stir in cheese.
Turn off the heat and allow cheese to melt into the mixture. Add additional salt to taste. Before serving, stir one final time to mix everything together.

DO NOT let the milk go beyond a light simmer, otherwise your mac will be grainy. And this milk amount is PERFECT. Adding more results in a soupy gloppy mess.
OMG! Look up the microwave version!!! LOL!

  ]
}

As you can see, some of the comments contain a children: [] of comments. I need to create nested comments in Reactjs based on this key.
I was able to do this in a very messy jquery way, but with React I want to move away from jquery and create a pure react base of nested comments.
Any one know of any examples, ideas or way of doing this? What I have so far is:
var Comments = React.createClass({

  render: function() {

sample

      {this.props.children}

  }

});

My idea was to loop over the comments and say if they had children just create another comment something like
for (var i = 0; i < comments.length; i++) {
  <Comments>
   if (children) {
     <Comments></Comments>
   }
  </Comments>
}

But this wont really work, I could encapsulate this in a function and say:
comments: function(comments){
    for (var i = 0; i < comments.length; i++) {
      <Comments>
       if (children) {
         this.comments(comments);
       }
      </Comments>
    }
}

Am I any where near on the right track?

A: This is easier to do with just the one component if you make it responsible for rendering its own children recursively:
var Comment = React.createClass({
  render() {
    var comment = this.props.comment
    return

      {comment.children.length > 0 && comment.children.map((child) => {
        return <Comment key={child.id} comment={child}/>
      })}

  }
})

*

*Live JS Bin example
If you want to do this without nesting the components so you're just rendering a flat list of <Comment>s, you can linearise the tree of comments into a list first, e.g.
function flattenComments(comments, flatComments, level) {
  for (var i = 0, l = comments.length; i < l; i++) {
    var comment = comments[i]
    flatComments.push({comment: comment, level: level})
    if (comment.children.length > 0) {
      flattenComments(comment.children, flatComments, level + 1)
    }
  }
}

var flatComments = []
flattenComments(comments, flatComments, 0)
var renderedComments = flatComments.map((props) => {
  return <Comment {...props}/>
})

A: You need two components: Comments and Comment.
Comment = React.createClass({
  render: function(){
    var comment = this.props.comment;
    return

{comment.author} says {comment.comment_text}

      <Comments comments={comment.children} />

  }
});

Comments = React.createClass({
  render: function(){
    return

      {this.props.comments.map(function(comment){
        return <Comment key={comment.id} comment={comment} />
      })

  }
});

The Comment renders Comments, which in turn can render Comment nodes, etc.  This recursively builds the comment structure.

The Importance Of Civil Discourse
Last week I became the Chair of The Sanders Institute (TSI), an initiative that grew out of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign of 2016. While as a sitting senator, Sanders cannot be involved in the work of TSI, we are committed to elevating the issues on which he based his run for the White House.
TSI's purpose, as defined in our mission statement, is to revitalize our democracy by fostering an informed electorate and advocating progressive ideas through civil discourse. The foundation of TSI's effort will be built on a collection of remarkable founding fellows who will provide leadership on a range of economic, environmental, racial and social justice, and foreign policy concerns. They include such distinguished scholars and activists as: Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover; Robert Reich, Stephanie Kelton, Cornel West, and Jeffery Sachs; Bill McKibben, Ben Jealous and Michael Lighty; Tulsi Gabbard and Nina Turner; and Jane O'Meara Sanders, whose idea it was to launch TSI.
Of the matters we discussed at our first board meeting, what struck me as central to our mission was a collective commitment to civil discourse. Recent events have brought home just how vital it is to focus on changing the way we debate and challenging those who use personal attacks, harsh tactics, or vulgar language in an effort to stifle opposing points of view.
During last year's presidential contest, Americans across the partisan divide were shocked by language and antics of then-candidate Donald Trump. He demeaned his opponents; defamed vulnerable minority communities; courted and emboldened extremist groups; and sometimes even incited his followers to violence.
There were those who hoped that once taking the oath of office Trump would change, but the language he uses in his daily tweets and off-the-cuff remarks at press events demonstrate that those hopes were in vain. As a result, there is clear evidence of a frightful coarsening of our discourse and an empowering of hate groups.
Our concern, however, is not limited to what Trump has done because we are seeing worrisome signs of harsh behavior and rhetoric among liberals and progressives, as well.
Last week, Hillary Clinton released "What Happened", her account of why she lost the 2016 election. Because she unfairly included her tough primary contest with Sanders a factor that caused her to lose, Twitter exploded with ugly charges being hurled back and forth between supporters of both candidates. It may be useful to have a discussion of why Clinton lost, but insults and unfounded accusations make the exercise counterproductive and damaging.
If anything, the 2016 primary battle involved a principled debate over key aspects of domestic and foreign policy. Sanders challenged Clinton on issues like: the roots of income inequality and economic injustice; and the need to break the stranglehold that financial elites and corporate lobbyists have on health care, trade policy, the criminal justice system, and our political process, itself. He demanded that we think big and proposed goals like: increasing the minimum wage, ending trade deals that disadvantaged American workers, providing universal health care by expanding Medicare, and creating jobs by investing in infrastructure and renewable energy. Sanders also questioned foreign policies Clinton championed like the war in Iraq and the unbalanced US support given to Israel's continued oppression of Palestinians.
In response, Clinton scoffed at Sanders big ideas, dismissing them as unrealistic. She argued, instead, for an incremental approach to addressing these same issues. The debates were heated and became personal, at times, but never did they sink to the level that was in evidence in last week's Twitter wars.
The accusations made by Clinton, and amplified by her backers, that Sanders had hurt her chances to win are simply not true. He not only endorsed her, he vigorously challenged his supporters to follow suit, and then proceeded to do more than three dozen campaign events on her behalf. As he observed, his contest with Clinton was over. Now the choice was between Donald Trump and her, and he was committed to do all he could to help Clinton win.
There is a lesson here for Democrats as we approach the 2018 Congressional elections. Big ideas must be advanced and debated, but Democrats must not fracture as they debate. Polarizing hostile discourse will only breed more division while, at the same time, making real debate over issues less likely.
This past week, we saw yet another display of a lack of civility and the damage it can do to advancing an important policy debate. When protesters disrupted a press conference House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, had convened to highlight the plight of young undocumented immigrants—the "Dreamers"—the tactics used by the demonstrators did more harm than good.
A few weeks ago, President Trump canceled an Obama-era program that had allowed Dreamers to secure work permits and remain in the US. Trump gave Congress six months to pass legislation to protect the 700,000 young people who had registered in the program.
Pelosi, a long-time champion of the Dreamers is supporting such an effort. Because Democrats are in the minority in Congress, they will need Republican support to pass any legislation. Pelosi, therefore, invited a group of Dreamers to tell their stories at the press event, believing that if they were known and heard, she could win support for the bill.
Her event was shattered by another group of protesting Dreamers who shouted down Pelosi and those who were to have spoken accusing them of being "sellouts" and demanding that instead of saving just the Dreamers, protection must also be secured for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US. While their concerns might be understandable, their tactics were not. And instead of civil discourse, their actions created chaos and recrimination.
Of course, we must advocate for comprehensive immigration reform and an end to mass deportations. That remains our goal. But because the clock is ticking and, given Trump's deadline, only a little over 5 months remain before the 700,000 Dreamers lose their protection. In other words, we can and must continue to elevate the perfect, while fighting now to save the good. And we must do so without attacking allies and behaving in an uncivil manner.
This is why I am so pleased to be a part of the important work of TSI. We hope to continue on the track of informing the public about critical issues, challenging Republicans and Democrats alike to think big about solutions to our most pressing problems, and doing this while engaging in civil discourse. That, we believe, is the way forward.
National Nurses United Conversation With Dr. Jane O'Meara Sanders
On Thursday September 21, Dr. Jane O'Meara Sanders (Co-founder, Fellow of the Sanders Institute) joined RoseAnn DeMoro of National Nurses United to talk about Medicare for All and the need for civil discourse.
DR. JANE O'MEARA SANDERS: I want to thank all of the nurses that are here today and around the world. You have been, forever a source of comfort and nurturing for all of your patients. I can't thank you enough, from a personal standpoint and every single person across this room and across the country have had the experience of nurses being there to ease the pain and the stress. Beyond that, you have been an unbelievable source of progressive labor. You have made a difference. The nurses have been a beacon of leadership, doing the right thing, not settling and making incremental changes. You're holding out a vision and holding other people accountable for it. The impact you have had has been amazing, and we will get Medicare for All thanks to you in large part. Last, but certainly not least, to the RN nurses who are going all over to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and all over – thank you. Everybody should know about the work you do.
One of the things people always ask me is how did you get into this, when did you become politically interested? Oddly enough, it started in healthcare. My dad was a teacher, and he fell and broke his hip. He was in the hospital for the better part of every year until I was 14. We just thought that was the way he was – my dad was ill, and it changed our life. My mom went to secretarial school to get anouther job. I had four brothers, the older two quit high school to support the family. My brother Benny became a blacksmith in Brooklyn. He just loved horses, my dad used to bring him to Prospect Park to ride horses when he was a little kid. He became quite well known as a trainer and came into quite a good living.
When I was 14, my dad was in the hospital again, and Benny asked the doctor to check him head to toe because there has to be an underlying problem. The doctor said the insurance wouldn't pay for it, so we can only deal with the existing problem. Benny said, "you know I do that for my horses, and I'll pay cash." So he did. And they checked him out – and my dad wasn't in the hospital for another ten years.
For me, that was my political awakening. If you had money, if you could afford to buy good insurance, you could have good health. And that to me just didn't seem fair. So that has stuck with me forever, and my whole life I've been trying to do what's fair, trying to even the playing field. And that's why the Sanders Institute is starting. I founded the Sanders Institute with our son, Dave Driscoll, who reminds me a lot of my father and brother. He and I believe that we need to have a fair, level playing field. We launched at the People's Summit on June 7th, and that was really successful, thank you so much, RoseAnn. The seminars that we put on there were very successful, and we are going to be increasing those across the country. We'll talk about economics, healthcare, democracy, and we'll be talking with our professors to determine what we should be expanding our thinking of. One of the first things we did was publish a report on Medicare for All. As a nonprofit, we can't lobby for anything in particular, but there was no bill then. We published that report and went around to every Senate and House office and delivered them the report on Medicare for All.
We believe a vital democracy requires an informed electorate, civil discourse, and bold, progressive ideas. The mission of the Sanders Institute is to revitalize democracy by actively engaging individuals, organizations, and the media in the pursuit of progressive solutions to economic, environmental, racial, and social justice issues.
Another reason we set up the Institute is to serve as progressive counterweight to the conservative and moderate organizations that currently set the frameworks of the debate, and it's very narrow. We're not interested in discussing what they think is possible in today's climate, we're interested in if it's right. We're interested in creating a vision for the future and identifying the steps or leaps required to get there.
Because amid the nonstop, all-crisis-all-the-time tweet storm that is Donald J. Trump, thought itself – careful, critical, analytical thought – seems to be an endangered species. At the Sanders Institute, we intend to counteract that. We choose to stay focused on our vision on the issues that affect people's lives, rather than getting caught up in the scandals or interparty and intraparty squabbles.
The current administration won't be around forever, we're working to create more of a dialogue with the people that put him there or are fighting him now to bring people together – not to the center, but to find out why do people want what they want? We believe in civil discourse. I don't believe that all the people that voted for this administration believe the things he espouses. We need to pay attention to the issues to bring people together on a common ground that doesn't just say, "Okay, from the left, from the right, let's go to the center." That's what you'll hear from the media, and it's exactly the wrong way to go about it. There is no left, there is no right, there is right and wrong. There is coming together to say government works for the people. Thank you."

Lee Walker uses community projects to fuel teaching career
Senior research fellow Lee Walker was a co-founder of Livestrong, president of Dell for four years and a leader in helping Save Our Springs and other civic projects.

Austin focal points, such as Barton Springs, Livestrong and Dell Computer, would not be what they are today without Lee Walker's leadership.
Walker, a senior research fellow at UT, helped lead civic projects such as Save Our Springs in the early 1990s and a project in the early 2000s to prevent the state from constructing a conventional strip mall instead of developing what is now Triangle Park. Walker also is a co-founder of Livestrong and was the president of Dell Computer for four years.
"Those kinds of quixotic ventures really appeal to me," Walker said. "I love things that have no chance."
Though Walker said he valued his work with the diverse array of projects, he also views his experiences as a useful foundation from which he can teach.
Walker will teach two classes in the spring semester: Pathways to Civic Engagement, a class for Plan II students, and Civic Viewpoints, which will be open to all students.
"[The] class I teach is at the intersection of entrepreneurship and justice and place," Walker said. "It's just important to get out into the field and see what's
going on."
Walker's students go on field trips to meet members of the Austin community who are working to improve citizens' lives.
"I think that's the beautiful part of civic engagement, that over time you have the opportunity to develop friendships and connections with just extraordinary souls," Walker said. "It's a wonderful thing."
Erin Larson, business honors and Plan II junior, said Walker's class taught her to challenge the status quo and break the cycles of problems.
"The movers and shakers of the Austin community … not only went about to solve the existing issues or challenges they saw within their communities, but they went upstream, to the very origin of the issues, to attempt to eliminate the problem instead of merely treating the symptoms," Larson said.
Each year, Walker spends the fall reinventing the class with his teaching assistant. Holland Finley, business honors and Plan II senior, was Walker's teaching assistant for last spring's class.
"I think the overarching theme of his mentorship has been to give me and others the confidence that no matter what pathway my life takes, I am able to transform the world for the better," Finley said.
Walker grew up in Three Rivers, a town in Southern Texas, and as a student there he visited Austin for athletic and academic contests.
"[Austin] was the epicenter of our universe," Walker said. "We'd come here for the state finals or whatever, and go, 'Someday, somehow, some way, I will live here because it's the greatest place on earth.' There was nothing else like it."
Upon his 1963 graduation from Texas A&M University, where he studied physics on a basketball scholarship, he received a doctoral fellowship in nuclear physics from NASA. Two years into Walker's doctoral program, he visited NASA and realized he didn't want to continue researching cosmic rays.
"I saw what I would be doing and what my colleagues were doing and came out thinking, 'That is incredibly boring,'" Walker said.
On a whim, Walker decided to apply to Harvard Business School. Though he did not have a business background, or any specific interest in business, Walker said several people encouraged him to give the school a shot.
Walker said he felt terrified and unprepared when he finally arrived at Harvard.
"My classmates just seemed so sophisticated and worldly and knew a lot about business already," Walker said. "You really weren't supposed to go there unless you knew business."
It was at his first job out of business school that Walker was first introduced to entrepreneurship. While working at Union Carbide, a company that works in chemicals and polymers, Walker met a man who identified as an entrepreneur.
"He started talking about entrepreneurship … and I think I just cocked my head, like, 'What a funny word,'" Walker said.
Walker said the trajectory of his career accelerated after he quit his position at Union Carbide. He said he quit
because he felt the company was prejudiced against one of his Jewish coworkers. In response, the company offered him a chief financial officer position at a company in which they had minority ownership.
"Carbide said, 'First of all, you won't be working for us,'" Walker said. "'You'll be working for this little company.' That moral choice probably accelerated my career by 10 years because [chief financial officer] is not a job you get when you're out of school."
Walker has four children and two grandchildren and spends each summer in Italy with family, but said he has no plans to retire.
"I'm 72 now, and I fully intend to keep [teaching]," Walker said. "I will, when I'm 100, re-evaluate, but I think I would like to continue even then."

One Sunday together with many animals, the first dog show in the beautiful setting of Villa Fidelia is over and the experience with the Pet Portraits studio in Perugia has been more than positive. A day in which we made unique portraits of dogs with their owners, family portraits printed directly on site on fine-art paper. The audience response was more than good, with many requests for photographic sessions and the possibility of giving a unique portrait or at least a much more structured memory of a usual canine festival photography. The reality of animals is a reality that is increasingly studied and analyzed, even the percentage of growing animals in case is an objective fact and for this together with the study Pet Portaits it was decided to jump into this photographic field, portraiture pure and simple as it was done once but with the aim of obtaining a result / memory that is unique in its genre because, as the slogan of the studio itself says, "a portrait is forever". Thanks to the organizer Nicola Ciotti for believing in a more "artistic" and less commercial photography.

I don't really have a strong opinion on Christine O'Donnell one way or the other
September 15, 2010 7:35 AM ET
Here's a guy who really doesn't like her, and here's a guy with some advice for dealing with it. And here's her victory speech:
I will say this: She defeated a guy named Mike Castle, who makes me think of White Castle, which makes me think of burnt onions, which I hate. And she's very cute. That's about the extent of my incisive political commentary on the subject. I wish everybody would quit yelling and being mean to each other, but it's also kind of fun to watch. Remember: When people on the left disagree with each other, it's a big tent. When people on the right disagree with each other, the tent is on fire and collapsing and it's all over.

Ed Morrissey: "Instead of pouting, Republican leaders in Delaware and around the country need to unite around the nominee, who was chosen by the Republicans in Delaware… If they want to continue to issue snarky, anonymous asides and in essence take their ball and go home, don't expect the electorate to follow them into battle in the future."
P.P.P.P.S. I dunno, though… This might be a dealbreaker.

DataFest 2019 set to welcome data brave hearts
No 1 Site to hire GDPR proffessionals
Blogs, News
When Maggie Philbin returned to BBC TV for a one-off special of Tomorrow's World last month, it was to a world in which the footprint of technology had become much larger than the programme ever anticipated, even in its last run in 2003. When she returns to Edinburgh to host the DataFest's Data Summit again next March, it will be to discover that the annual event organised by The Data Lab has grown even more than it expected.
While the Data Summit was one of two cornerstones of the 2018 programme which lasted just over one week, in 2019 it will be one of six across a two-week period from 11th to 22nd March. Like the celebrated event in the city where it is headquartered, DataFest continues to expand. "We have definitely stolen ideas from the Edinburgh Festival," Gillian Docherty, CEO of The Data Lab, told DataIQ this week. "Plagiarism is the best form of flattery."
While the conference continues to be the flagship for the festival, feedback from this year's delegates revealed a strong appetite for more and more specialised content. As a result, DataFringe will see workshops, meet-ups and more take place from "the Orkneys to Ayreshire", she said. "The only way to get that breadth and depth was by involving the community across Scotland."
The first round of applications to be included in the fringe closed at the end of last month, with a second wave open in January. Selected proposals will become part of the formal programme under the DataFest umbrella, expanding both the nature of what is on offer and also its geography.
Another new component for next year is DataTech on 14th March. With a focus on algorithms, software and hardware, machine learning technology, deep learning, data visualisation, reproducible and collaborative data science, it is for the practically-minded who want to understand what tools and techniques might help them. Practitioners can also apply to present following the model of academic sessions in front of a peer group.
Confirmed speakers include Debbie Bard, acting group lead for data science engagement at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Centre, and Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel, associate professor of the practice, Duke University, alongside Jared Lander, chief data scientist at Lander Analytics.
This underlines the international scope and reach of DataFest, reflecting The Data Lab's mission. "We are encouraging companies to look at Scotland as a destination for investment and to start-up or scale," said Docherty. Trade missions and delegations are part of the mix for next March, with promising leads passed to the Scottish Development International.
A major organic growth area for the event is Data Talent which sees over 300 post-graduates brought together with private and public sector organisations looking to hire their abilities. "People have been offered jobs on the spot," noted Docherty. As well as employment opportunities, candidates can also take part in workshops on how to improve their LinkedIn profile, create a CV and interview tactics. "Last year, one organisation took 30 students in for interview and hired several on the back of that."
With a Women in data science initiative and the Executive dinner, there will be plenty for visitors to get involved with, even without attending the Data Summit on 21st and 22nd March. But that would be to miss out on a five-fold focus looking at mass media marketing, creativity, data in action, the future of work and skills, and ethics and public engagement. Among the keynotes being ushered on-stage by Philbin will be Dr Sue Black, professor of computer science and technology evangelist at Durham University.
As DataFest continues to scale up, the knowledge economy in Scotland is beginning to feel the benefit. That is the result of a combination of investment, support and people, with that sense of a community a key dimension to the event. As Docherty said: "It is very exciting to pull the cohort together because getting talent is a tough challenge."

Normal–or what passes for such nonsense–folks have a bucket list now. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson made the bucket list famous, attainable, and nigh on a must in our living-well-above-subsistence culture.
When I forget, often, how blessed I am, I yearn all the greater for a bucket list of opportunities to expand my horizons and experiences in this short thing we call life. I think it not wrong to desire grand experiences and activities able to exhilarate my God-given curiosity and sense and want of adventure.
It is imperative, however, that I remember and pay more than a passing glance to those who don't even have a bucket to put a list in. Is balancing the enjoyment of life with the need to assist the scores of folks less fortunate than us not a difficult and often guilt-producing task?
Now that the Shallow One has temporarily shed his world-angst, he will address his Deltafied version of the list; hereby, and heretofore known in the hallowed Land of the Blues as POOR WILLIAM'S TOP-TEN "SLOP BUCKET" LIST.
1. I want spicy, crispy-fried chicken anytime I want it!
2. I want fried green tomatoes with a little "heat" in the batter at least twice a week!
4. I want tasty hot wings during every football game. A few cold beers wouldn't hurt either!
5. I want a green salad with Lusco's house dressing nightly for dinner!
6. I want to eat an Abe's barbeque, chili cheeseburger, and two bags of chips-n-sauce at least twice a week, hold the calories and carbs! Abe's chips-n-sauce is a Mississippi Delta classic–open a bag of Rufflesesque potato chips and pour in some Abe's barbeque sauce and close the bag and shake it up. Open the bag and thoroughly enjoy a slightly but evenly coated chip right at the Crossroads of 49 and old 61!
7. I am not opposed to a lil taste of single-malt scotch every evening–before, during, and after dinner! Can't afford it, but I am not scared of it!
8. I am a lover of all-food-ethnic, and have a real addiction to Lebanese raw kibbie, tabouli, grape leaves, and cabbage rolls.
9. I have a deep-seated desire for sushi/sashimi at least once every two weeks. The blend of wasabi, soy sauce, and tender cold raw fish elevates my serotonin levels to extraordinary heights.
10. I sure would like an artichoke heart with lemon butter and a twice-baked potato at least once a week.
I have enjoyed lurking thru your site occasionally and I share your fine feelings for Lusco's as well and need I remind you that your bucket could hold a few corn husked tamales. A once a year pilgramage to Clarkesdale, MS to visit a dear friend, David Fiser of The Fiser Agency blood, to chase the green headed mallets and while away hours out at Burke's Hunting Camp on the big bend of the Miss west of Clarkesdale off 322 at Farrell caused me to run into your store after spying the beautiful hand made canoe outside it it did this mis-placed Memphis boy good to see such fine work. I spent all of my awake youth in Vickesburg, Greenville, Greenwood and Clarkesdale only to sleep in Memphis if I had too.
BTW, does the Bohemian lifestyle allow a trip to Doe's every now and then?
David Fiser has quickly emailed me to lay off the bourbon so early as I've confused Billy Williams with John Ruskey ! My apologies, sir. But I still like your list with the single malt add.
I was gonna take you guys to Lusco's for the pompano, but you beat me to it! I always eat at Crystal Cafe nearby, so we can compromise by having the pompano first, then some of Crystal's outrageous desserts!!
Yeah, Billy just couldn't wait….He had not been to Lusco's since the 80's so we just had to go. We've been back several times since as we are addicted now. SOOOOO when you return, we will still go there and do the Crystal jaunt afterwards! I'm looking forward to it!
Billy,Billy,Billy!!! Son!!! I too love Pompano any way I can get it and Lusco's does a terriffic job with their version, But Enid Lake Crappie It 'Aint. This you shall soon come to realize as I have. Promise! When things slow down, we are going crappie fishing and cook "Dim Slabs" several different ways. They will make you "Naw Your Fingers" off.
Gordon, you can't beat the Veal at Crystal either!
Thanks for the tip, Jeff!! Enjoyed reading your crappie enlightenments! I've caught a variety of panfish fly-fishing lakes, but haven't tasted any. And I don't often see veal on menues anymore. The owner, Johnny, is salt of the earth; and the staff, likewise!
You are very welcome Gordon. Give it a try next time you go.
Sounds like a plan, Madge!!
Well I geuss I'll claim that plainsman friend and I do agree that Does must be added to that slopbucketlist . As well Crystal's is certainly food no one could scoff at, however, whenever, possible I like to partake of Moma Harvey's Redneck Spicey 'Sketty!

The red-spotted guard crab is a very small coral crab with a white to pink carapace, covered in red dots. It has 6 small teeth between the eyes and the lower half of the pincers are smooth. They live solitary or in small groups.
Unassessed by he IUCN Red list. This species is however widely spread throughout the Indo-Pacific region, however they are easy to miss. They stay hidden from sight amongst corals and are very skittish of curious divers.
Eastern Africa and the Red Sea to the Hawaiian islands and Japan. They are hidden between the branching corals Acropora and Pocillopora, in a depth range of 1-90 meters.
Up to 1,5cm. Like all crabs, when they grow, their old exoskeleton molts and eventually sheds, allowing the lower soft exoskeleton to grow and then harden again.
Trapezia tigrina feeds on zooplankton.
These guard crabs are very protective of their homes and will defend it from intruders (even much larger ones).

Clayton State University encourages the enrollment of students from other countries. Applicants needing a student visa are required to provide proof of financial support for at least the first year of their degree program. International students with a student visa are required to carry a full course of study during every semester except the summer semester. International applicants whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). TOEFL scores are considered official only when they are sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies from the Educational Testing Service. Examinee copies are not considered official. Detailed information on the TOEFL may be obtained from the Educational Testing Service at www.ets.org. Clayton State University's institution code for the TOEFL is 5145. If you are taking the TOEFL paper based exam it will take approximately six weeks after your test date for the scores to reach our institution. If you are taking the TOEFL internet based exam it will take approximately five weeks after your test date for the score to reach our institution.
International academic credentials must be original documents with authorized signatures, seals, stamps, and must be evaluated by a credentialing evaluating organization. The School of Graduate Studies accepts evaluations that are prepared by either Josef Silney and Associates (www.jsilny.com) or the World Education Services (www.wes.org). Applicants will need to arrange individually with these organizations to have the transcript evaluations sent to the School of Graduate Studies by the appropriate deadline. Applicants will need to make sure they allow ample time for these documents to be evaluated and received by the School of Graduate Studies by the appropriate application deadline. The School of Graduate Studies will not be held responsible for delays that may occur at these organizations or that might occur in mailing.
In order to ensure that language barriers do not potentially hinder international students from taking advantage of all available opportunities and in an effort to foster academic success, an acceptable score on a standardized English language proficiency examination must be submitted as part of the graduate application. Only those applicants whose native language is not English or whose language of college instruction was not English are required to submit English Language proficiency scores on either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL- http://www.ets.org/toefl) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS- http://www.ielts.org/). The recommended minimum score for the TOEFL is 79-80 internet based total or 550 paper-based total. The recommended minimum IELTS total score is 6. Applicants must submit official transcripts from language schools attended.
At the graduate level, admissibility is based on a thorough review of all of the credentials an applicant submits. Applicants whose score falls below the recommended minimum should contact the Director of Graduate Studies (http://www.clayton.edu/graduate/coordinators) for their program. If an applicant's overall credentials suggest a potential for success at the graduate level in spite of a deficient proficiency test score, a waiver of the recommended score requirement may be granted (additional ESL instruction may be required as a condition of the waiver). (Note: waivers are rarely granted, and only in specific circumstances where the other elements of the graduate application indicate a strong likelihood for success. For example, an above average score on the verbal and the analytical writing portions of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) might indicate the applicant possess sufficient English language proficiency.)
Applicants whose language of instruction was English should have the Registrar of the home institution submit a letter to the School of Graduate Studies attesting/certifying that the language of instruction for the baccalaureate degree was English. If this documentation is unavailable, applicants must submit the official acceptable scores on the TOEFL or IELTS.
The Financial Verification Form, #6 must be completed, signed and submitted to the Graduate School with original supporting documentation before an I-20 immigration document can be issued. Scans or other electronic copies are not acceptable.
If you will be transferring to Clayton State University from another institution in the US on your F1 visa, your current I-20 will follow you here. If you have been outside the US more than 5 months, this step is not necessary; in that case, you will receive a new initial I-20 and pay a new SEVIS fee.
To transfer your I-20:
Obtain a final acceptance letter from Clayton State University.
Complete the I-20 Transfer Request Form, # 10.
Have your current international advisor return the completed form to ISSO, by mail, fax or email as indicated on the form.
In addition to the Financial Verification Form and I-20 Transfer Request Form (if necessary), also submit to the Graduate School a copy of your passport's photo, biographical information, and current or previous F1 visa.
Please note that two original sets of financial documentation should be obtained, as a second original copy of the documents will be needed at the time of the visa interview. All supporting documents must be issued within thirty(30) days of the date in which the I-20 will be issued.
Once financial documents have been approved by the School of Graduate Studies, an I-20 will be processed and sent to you. The Form I-20 makes you eligible to apply for the F-1 student visa.
Unfortunately the School of Graduate Studies is unable to express mail your acceptance letter and I-20 to you. These documents will be mailed to you via regular post of the United States Postal Service. You are welcome to pick those documents up yourself if you are currently in the metro-Atlanta area or you can have a designee pick these materials up on your behalf. You must provide the School of Graduate Studies with a letter indicating the name and contact details of the individual whom you wish to be your designee.

Around the Web: Old Elements. Salad Days. Farewell, Yellow Pages. Silent City. Public Domain. Pole Position.
The oldest periodic table is uncovered in Scotland. UK's Yellow Pages are no more. Cremona, Italy, goes quiet. A new zine highlights the new works in the public domain. The magnetic north pole is on the move. All that and more in WhatTheyThink's weekly miscellany.
By WhatTheyThink Published: January 25, 2019
It's always interesting the things you find when you're cleaning. Some old coins, ancient software diskettes that don't run on anything anymore—or a periodic table from the 19th century.
A classroom chart bearing an early version of the periodic table of elements has been discovered in a University of St. Andrews chemistry lab. Dating back to the 1880s, the chart is thought to be the world's oldest.
Which then raises the question: what's a periodic table when it's not a table?

The Fingers Have Walked Away
Printed phone books still hang on in the U.S., but in the UK, after half a century, the Yellow Pages are no more.
In September 2017 Yellow Pages announced it would stop printing copies of its iconic book.
The final copies of the directory will be delivered to a family business in Brighton which has been using the book to advertise since 1966.
A Real Quiet Place
Recently, everyone in the city of Cremona, Italy, needed to remain absolutely silent. Some kind of supernatural menace? Nope: curators at the Museo del Violino are trying to digitally record original violins, and cellos built by Stradivarius, Amati, and Guarneri del Gesù in the 17th and 18th centuries. From the New York Times:
So that future generations won't miss out on hearing the instruments, three sound engineers are producing the "Stradivarius Sound Bank" — a database storing all the possible tones that four instruments selected from the Museo del Violino's collection can produce.
One of the engineers, Mattia Bersani, said that the sounds in the database could be manipulated with software to produce new recordings when the tone of the original instruments degraded. Musicians of the future would be able to "record a sonata with an instrument that will no longer function," he said.
The site for the recording is not as soundproof as they would like, and since the surrounding streets are made of cobblestone, it can be an acoustic nightmare. But, since the mayor of Cremona is also the president of the Stradivarius Foundation, he appealed to the city's residents to keep the noise down until recording could be completed. And they did!
And if it were a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock all the remaining numerals would be replaced by PANIC. https://t.co/ERTfx9iUpl

Masters of Their Public Domain
This year, a slew of classic works enter the public domain, as the 20-year freeze enacted in 1988 expires. Via Boing Boing, there is now a monthly zine called 1923 that will celebrate the public domaination of works first published in 1923.
every month, Higgins proposes to create a "a hand-made zine (think photocopied and stapled!), highlighting a work, an artist, a genre, or a medium" of "unusual and forgotten gems" from 1923, which will be made available to just 100 subscribers (sold out!); the PDF version is yours for $1/month.
Well, this is potentially upsetting. From Nature:
Something strange is going on at the top of the world. Earth's north magnetic pole has been skittering away from Canada and towards Siberia, driven by liquid iron sloshing within the planet's core. The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world's geomagnetism experts into a rare move.
On 15 January, they are set to update the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet's magnetic field and underlies all modern navigation, from the systems that steer ships at sea to Google Maps on smartphones.
But this just in:
The release of the World Magnetic Model has been postponed to 30 January due to the ongoing US government shutdown.

Healthy Life Expectancy
Life expectancy (LE) is an estimate of how many years a person might be expected to live, whereas healthy life expectancy (HLE) is an estimate of how many years they might live in a 'healthy' state. HLE is a key summary measure of a population's health.
HLE is an estimate of how long the average person might be expected to live in a 'healthy' state. Like LE, it is most often expressed for an entire lifetime from the time of birth. HLE at birth is the number of years that a new-born baby would live in good health if they experienced the death rates and levels of general health of the local population at the time of their birth, throughout their life.
HLE is calculated by combining LE and a measure of 'healthy' health: in these HLE analyses for Scotland the measure used is self-assessed general health. This is self-reported by survey or Census respondents but has been shown to reflect both mental and physical health.
You can access further information about Life Expectancy and Healthy Life Expectancy statistics by visiting the relevant pages on the NRS website.
To ensure the confidentiality of personal information, the National records of Scotland protocol on confidentiality is followed
The healthy life expectancy estimates undergo quality assurance at each stage of production. More details on the quality of the deaths registration and population estimates data can be found in the relevant methodology on the NRS website. Details on the quality of the survey data in the Annual Population Survey can be found on the Office for National Statistics website.
Healthy life expectancy estimates are produced using mid-year population estimates, death registrations and survey data on health from the annual population survey and the 2011 census
Coherence - Further information on the healthy life expectancy estimates can be found in methodology sections on the National Records of Scotland (NRS) website for life expectancy. Comparability - The statistics are designed to be consistent and comparable with the healthy life expectancy and life expectancy estimates produced accross the UK.
It is the policy of NRS to make its website and products accessible according to published guidelines. More information is available in the Accessibility section of the NRS website.
Healthy life expectancy is a good measure of the health of a population and can be used to predict the demands on health services and social care. The Scottish Government uses HLE as a key indicator in the National Performance Framework.
Healthy life expectancy estimates are calculated for three year averages and published in December of the following year. For example, the 2016-2018 estimates will be published in December 2019. The exception to this was the 2015-2017 estimate which was published in february 2019. This was due to extra time needed to produce the first set of estimates using a new method.
Revisions and corrections to previously published statistics are dealt with in accordance with the Scottish Government Statistician Group corporate policy statement on revisions and corrections - a copy of which is available on the Scottish Government website.

Customer Visit - Volunteering with the Thompson Island Outbound Education Center
Caitlin_M
When I was invited to spend part of the day with some of my co-workers volunteering with the Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center I did not even hesitate to say "Yes." I talk with customers every day through social media, here in the Community and also over the phones, but it's not every day that you get to see all of the additional work that they do once our conversation is over. I was excited to get to know one of the many customers who use Constant Contact for their email marketing.
About The Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center
The Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide adventurous and challenging experiential learning programs that inspire character development, compassion, community service, environmental responsibility, and academic achievement for students in the metropolitan Boston area. The 204 acre island becomes an outdoor classroom for these students and encourages them to learn and grow as a person and as a member of their community (Source: Thompson Island).
The Volunteering Experience
Our day started off on the chilly side with a blanket of clouds covering part of the Boston skyline. We were immediately put to work by helping to load the boat with all of the supplies that were needed for their upcoming events and for their everyday work. There is no such thing as quick runs to the store for this crew! After a 20-minute ferry ride over to the island, we helped to unload the supplies and were greeted by the Thompson Island staff. Their excitement to see our group of 44 volunteers ready to help for the day was evident.
After our briefing session, our large group was split into teams that would focus on different tasks to be done around the island. One team assisted with setting up spaces for a few events they were getting ready to host and another prepared raft building materials for an upcoming team building project. My team assisted with weeding around the two cabins that housed classroom equipment students would need for their various activities. What took us about an hour to complete might have taken the island's much smaller team many more of their precious work hours. We then moved over to the orchard to rake dead grass. The field is used by the students to have engaging discussions during their time on the island.
Our group had lunch and was then given a tour of the island. The island has been used to educate the youth of the Boston area for over 175 years and has grown from a small farming school with only 14 students to this beautiful environmental educational center that plays host to outdoor learning programs and also team building outings for corporations and organizations. Beyond the classrooms and main buildings are hiking trails and access to the salt marshes for the public to explore when the island is open on the weekends during the summer.
I was grateful for the time that I was able to spend on Thompson Island with my co-workers and meet some of the wonderful people who help to make this beautiful island continue to operate. Being able to see what this organization does for the students of the Boston area and know that our product is able to help them is a great feeling. I am inspired daily during my conversations with our hard-working customers. It makes it easy to come into work every day knowing that I'm assisting them with an important part of their business or organization.

Well Stardock I tip my hat in your direction. Its funny how Small Companies go out of their way to do things like this but larger corps who can afford to pull stunts like this act all coy...go figure right?
Tempted to purchase just to show support. Have a backlog of games and won't get round to playing this until 2013.
Go stardock, if I still cared about strategy games I would so be buying this one.
Unlike Obsidian which released the fallout sequel with the SAME CRAPPY PC INTERFACE as the first one. It is basically unplayable until you install MUTI.
Although to be frank, it's more likely a marketing scheme. Good one, though, and still a nice gesture.
EDIT: If I had money, I'd totally buy it. Re-reading it, I actually doubt it's that much of a scheme at all.
well think about it this way, you can buy it now register the game beat all the other games you have then come back to this one in a few grab all the patches and expansions and BLAM super Strategy....im surprised they didnt mention that the guy who did the Fall from Heaven mods for Civ is the project manager for this game now.
I think Brad Wardell should be commended for both his honesty regarding the lackluster Elemental launch, and his desire to turn an ailing game into a truly good one. That kind of straight-faced dedication is pretty rare in the industry.
It's unfortunate that most game sites don't do this, but I would love to see another review of Elemental after it has released a few more patches. I am somewhat pessimistic that Stardock will completely salvage the product, though I hope hiring Derek Paxton gives Stardock some much-needed outside perspective.
Time to buy it for me. Off to impulse.
Yeah, when possible I buy there so as to keep steam from owning the whole PC gaming market. Steam has enough exclusives to make sure they get some of my money.
The problem is that even if Elemental wasn't broken it's still not very good.
Just get a copy of DosBox and Master of Magic, it's a better game. Still.
As far as poor launches go, Stardock has handled Elemental's better than any I've ever seen. Compare this to, I don't know, Fallout: New Vegas, where bug complaints have elicited responses such as: "Sorry, it's a big game." How about some free stuff too, huh Obsidian?
What's with the flip-flop, Tom? In the linked article, you want us to be sympathetic and stop harping on Obsidian, but as soon as you learn you can get free stuff if your game is riddled with bugs, you switch sides?
Double post, ugh. I knew this was going to happen.
I give Obsidian the benefit of the doubt, but I haven't played New Vegas yet which is why I ask at the end if it was rushed to stores with too many bugs. Also, I just want free stuff.

The winger is coming to the end of a two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich from Juventus and it had been xpected he would extend his stay with the German champions.
However, the France international has not been a regular under Carlo Ancelotti and as yet a permanent deal has not been rubber-stamped.
That has attracted interest from elsewhere in Europe, with both Chelsea and Manchester City interested in Coman.
And now, according to reports, they have been joined by Arsenal who have also enquired over the 20-year-old's availability.
The Gunners are expected to be in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer and Coman is seemingly high on their shortlist.
