Due to the alarming and rising number of cases of Dengue in Northern Mindanao, the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office X recently conducted misting to protect residents of its centers and institutions: the Regional Reception and Study Center for Children, Haven for Women, and Home for Girls, located in the agency's compound.
DSWD partnered with Cagayan de Oro City Health and Department of Health in conducting the misting to eradicate possible breeding places of mosquitoes in the premises of the DSWD compound. The said preventive measure was one of the activities done to protect residents of the centers and institutions from sudden outbreak of various diseases in the Region caused by climate change.

DSWD holds Inter-Agency Dialogue and Press Conference for Listahanan
Posted on 23 August 2013.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office 10 through the Listahanan Unit recently conducted an Inter-Agency Dialogue and Press Conference at the Pearlmont Inn,Cagayan de Oro City.
It was participated by various Partner Agencies and tri-media representatives.The Inter –Agency Dialogue and Press Conference was part of the advocacy efforts of the NHTSPR or Listahanan as it starts the second round of implementation of the nationwide household enumeration.
The DSWD highly recognizes the involvement of both the media and the partner agencies as well as far as advocacy is concerned. The forum was also conducted with the belief in the essential role of the media being essential partners in creating awareness, recall,and appeal among the program's target audiences in orderfor them to appreciate, fully understand and support the program.
Various issues and concerns were also tackled during the Open forum cum press conference. Live radio and TV Interviews were also conducted .
The NHTS-PR or what is now known as Listahanan is the national government's project being implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development . It is an information management system that aims to establish a database of poor households that will become beneficiaries of social protection programs.
With the conduct of the Inter-Agency Dialogue and Press Conference, it is hoped that the forum provided better appreciation of the Listahanan data as well as promoting healthy working relations with the partner Agencies and the media.
Another highlight of the Inter-Agency Dialogue particularly was that of providing the other National Government Agencies the opportunity to have a continuous access to Listahanan database through entering into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
During the said dialogue and press confernece focal persons from Sustainable Livelihood Program, KALAHI-CIDSS, and Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program were also present to adress queries relative to their various programs of concern . (Mitzie S. Santiago)
DSWD HOLDS ORIENTATION FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS ON LISTAHANAN
The National Household Targeting Office of DSWD Field Office 10 will be conducting a series of Orientation for the 93 Local Government Units and five provinces of region 10 from August 22-30,2013. This is in line with the preparation for the implementation of the Second Round Regular Household Assessment/Enumeration within this year.
The National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction or Listahanan is an information management system that the government use in identifying who and where the poor are and is being spearheaded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. It aims to address poverty reduction through a scientific and target- focused strategy.
Being the lead Agency, the Department of Social Welfare and Development through the Regional Project Management Office is enjoined to closely coordinate and collaborate with the respective Local Government Units (LGUs) in the conduct of said household assessment and enumeration in the entire region. The said orientation will be participated by Governors, Mayors or their representatives, Provincial/City/Municipal Planning and Development Officers, ABC Presidents, Provincial /City/Municipal SocialWelfare and Development Officers within region 10.
One of the major activities in the conduct of the Second Round RegularHousehold Assessment/ Enumeration will be the on-site house-to-house assessment and household enumeration . It is aimed at targeting and creating a database of poor households nationwide known as "Listahanan Ng Mga Pamilyang Nangangailangan" for social protection programs and services. (Mitzie S.Santiago)
Bawal and Epal Dito Campaign readied for Barangay Elections
The Department of Social Welfare and Development is preparing itself for the upcoming Barangay Elections in October through the "Bawal ang Epal Dito" Campaign.
Its "Bawal Ang Epal Dito" Campaign has been proven effective in empowering the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, particularly during the midterm elections last May 2013.
In the campaign, beneficiaries were thoroughly informed that the anti-poverty program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development is developed, initiated, and implemented by the said agency and that the latter can solely de-list beneficiaries based on their non-compliance to the program's set conditions.
Contrary to some politicians' alleged pronouncement that they can de-list beneficiaries if they will not vote for the running candidate, the DSWD is emphatic that no politicians can do so since the agency alone, at the regional and national levels, can de-list the beneficiaries from the program.
With the coming barangay elections, it is once again empowering the Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries to be vigilant of any political threats of being de-listed and be responsible in complying to the conditions of the program: to ensure attendance of their children to school, to regularly bring them to a monthly health check-up, and attend in the Family Development Sessions conducted by the DSWD.
The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program invests in human capital by providing cash grants to poor families with children aged 0-14 for their education and health.

DSWD's KALAHI-CIDSS program wins International Development Award (Re-posted)
(THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS AN ENTRY POSTED IN BRIEFING ROOM, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT)
Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), one of the poverty alleviation programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in partnership with the World Bank, was chosen as one of the awardees of the U.S. Treasury's second annual Development Impact Honors Awards, beating over 40 other candidates.
The award will be given on July 25, 2013, at the Main Treasury Building in North Washington, USA. Aside from the awardees, attendants of the event include members of the U.S. Congress and other U.S. government agencies, as well as representatives from the developmental sector.
The Development Impact Awards recognizes the different projects supported by multilateral development banks all over the world. The awards are meant to distinguish development-oriented programs, such as those that fight poverty, hunger, and disease. The entries were judged based on criteria such as quality of results, focus on priority sectors, innovations used, and risk mitigations strategies utilized.
Kalahi-CIDSS was chosen as one as the awardees out of the other entries because it is "especially high-impact and noteworthy," according to U.S. Secretary of Treasury Jacob J. Lew in his letter to Worldbank President Dr. Jim Kim.
Kalahi-CIDSS is one of the three core social protection programs of DSWD in combating poverty. It uses the community-driven development (CDD) strategy to empower ordinary citizens to actively and directly participate in local governance by identifying their own community needs, planning, implementing, and monitoring projects together to address local poverty issues.
Some of the results of Kalahi-CIDSS include improved access of communities to basic services, increased community involvement, and positive impact in household wellbeing.
The World Bank has been a partner of Kalahi-CIDSS since its inception in 2003. John Roome, World Bank Sustainable Development Director for East Asia Pacific, is pleased with the award, saying, "One of my first field visits was in Kalahi-CIDSS sites. From those early visits, I could see the impact of the project on people's lives."
He added that with the advent of the National Community-Driven Development Program (NCDDP), which will scale up the CDD strategy utilized by Kalahi-CIDSS, there will be even greater impact to communities in the country.
From the 364 municipalities covered by Kalahi-CIDSS, NCDDP will be targeting 900 of the poorest municipalities in the Philippines. It was approved by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Board last January 18, and will be launched in late 2013.
Secretary of Social Welfare and Development Corazon "Dinky" Juliano-Soliman was delighted with the recognition. "We are honored to have Kalahi-CIDSS chosen as one of the awardees by the U.S. Treasury," she said. "We are optimistic that with NCDDP, we will be able to help even more families and communities rise from poverty", she added.
Last year's awardees of the Development Impact Honors Awards were the African Development Bank for the Mali-Senegal Road Project, the Asian Development Bank for the Afghanistan Telecom Development Company Project, the Inter-American Development Bank for its Basic Nutrition Program, and the World Bank for their Amazon Region Protected Areas Program.
BAYANIHAN DEFIES ODDS, EMPOWERS COMMUNITIES THROUGH SHEER WILL AND DETERMINATION
"Bayanihan" or the spirit of communal unity and cooperation has been a Filipino heritage for generations. The image of a group of people carrying a native hut is one of the images we as Filipinos oh, so dearly patronize. But do we still practice this tradition right now? Do people on this day and age of Candy Crush and iPads still relinquish traditional practices that have for so long been a part of our lives? Or has bayanihan been minimized to just a thing of the past; a form of folklore we only speak of during our "back in my days" stories we tell the younger generations?
People have forgotten this priceless gesture of solidarity; a simple show of camaraderie and genuine act of care for those in the neighborhood. Today, majority of people have belittled this gallant act, and have even tagged it as "old school" or "baduy" (out of style or out dated). But what this tradition has goes beyond trends. It goes beyond what is new and hip. It is a simple gesture of oneness and compassion for others but it ensures strengthening of relationships within the community.
Indeed this is an old thing; an old thing that still works pretty well in bringing the community together and sure enough gets things done even with the odds going against the community. Take for instance the success of the Barangays in Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte implementing the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA), the national government's program and framework for peace and development which is being implemented in areas affected by conflict and communities covered by existing peace agreements. Through sheer determination and bayanihan, several communities get to finish program sub-projects with just limited budgets.
The PAMANA Project, being implemented by the Kalahi-CIDSS Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development provides barangays of qualified municipalities Php 300,000 to fund sub-projects that would answer to the direst needs of the barangay that would address conflict issues in their respective communities.
For several people, the Php 300,000 funding for any sub-project is not enough to accommodate sub-projects such as potable water systems, peace centers, farm – to – market roads, and the likes. But this shortage of funds has challenged the community, bringing about the best ideas from community volunteers implementing the PAMANA. For optimistic persons, the limited funds only open more opportunities to venture into, just to be able to make things work.
Barangay Tugar and Paiton were among those whose most pressing need was potable drinking water, and they saw PAMANA as an opportunity to do something about their problem. Yes, Php 300,000 was limited for a Gravity Driven Potable Water System (Level2), and may only cover the basic materials for the sub-project, but this was more than enough to start providing solutions to their problems. They showed that when there was strong will, especially from the beneficiaries, there was a sure way to handle the matter.
To compensate for the deficiency in the exact total budget costs, the community volunteers came up with a pretty good idea that would totally solve their problems. Aside from the Php 300,000 budget from PAMANA, the Local Cash Counterparts form the MLGU and the BLGU, the community decided to revive the bayanihan spirit. But this will only be effective if everyone believed this would work and bring about success in the project implementation.
It was time to awaken a long-time dead tradition; which was for the community, the only way to deal with the matter. They all agreed to do "Pahina" or free/voluntary services to complete their water system sub-project. All the families in their barangay would be willing to dig ditch holes and work on the water reservoir without pay. Everyone was in a schedule to do labor until the job was done. For those who were not available, they were to provide meals for those working, which is pretty much fair enough according to those doing labor.
Everyone agreed and the rest was history. Work was finished in just about 5 days; better than any contractual work by any professional. Indeed the community has proven once and again that in unity, there is definitely success. The bayanihan spirit has once again proven itself worthy even in modern times.
What is wonderful about the success of the project was that it empowered communities to work for a common goal, one that definitely solves their most pressing needs. Kalahi-CIDSS believes that to empower the communities, there must be enough room for the community to be creative in thinking of solutions for their problems. This is an important matter in empowering them; to let them be responsible for their own sub-projects.
Again, is bayanihan dead in modern times? The answer is definitely and absolutely NOT. It just needs to be applied in a proper place and time. The Gravity Driven Potable Water System (Level2) of Barangays Tugar and Paiton, Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte are true testaments of the value of bayanihan.
All it takes is a little bit of unity and cooperation, a bit of will and determination, a sprinkle of sacrifice, and then you have a completed and operational Gravity Driven Potable Water System (Level2) for all the community to enjoy. A little bit of bayanihan goes a long way towards empowerment and self-sufficiency.

HVEF grants support social/emotional well-being, music, and other innovation in HVRSD schools
MercerMe Community Contributor
The Hopewell Valley Education Foundation (HVEF) is pleased to announce more than $10,000 in grants to support teachers and staff in delivering innovation and excellence to students across the Hopewell Valley Regional School District (HVRSD). The Fall 2022 funding round enables teachers to expand offerings in music, physical and social-emotional literacy, and environmental sustainability.
The newest set of HVEF grant recipients includes:
Paulette DiNardo, HVRSD director of pupil services, and Christopher Turnbull, principal at Bear Tavern Elementary School, will apply a $6,385 grant toward bringing facilitator Phil Beans to all four district elementary schools to introduce the "Phil's Drills" interactive physical literacy and social-emotional learning program. The program offers a variety of games that encourage students to use their eye-hand coordination, practice cross-body movements shown to help the brain connect and coordinate, and boost learning and retention. Students from Central High School will help at each station with time keeping and encouraging the grade schoolers as they try each activity. Phil's Drills is not sport-specific, supporting the inclusion of all students in fun, vigorous activity regardless of ability and encouraging the practice of physical activity for life.
William Emhof, music teacher at Stony Brook Elementary School, who was awarded a $1,575 grant to add a set of choirchime instruments to the music instruction program. Choirchimes are played like handbells with a flick of the wrist, enabling all students to contribute to the making of music. They are especially valuable for differently abled students who may find other instruments challenging to use, building important social and emotional skills. The new instruments can be used for ongoing music classes and to enhance choral performances for years to come.
Scott Schlenker, science and special education teacher at Central High School, received a $2,100 grant to rehabilitate and maintain the high school's garden. With initial planting and building work completed, Schlenker and a team of teachers and students will construct more planting beds, create a self-contained composting system, plant a variety of annual and perennial plants and trees, and repair and repaint the garden gazebo. The aim is to offer a space for Biology and Environmental Science classes to conduct teaching and observation, create a learning environment for students interested in food cultivation and harvesting, and engage students who may wish to work in the garden as part of their service requirements.
"These latest grants showcase the innovation and creativity of HVRSD teachers and staff and the unique learning and engagement activities that students throughout the district will be able to enjoy," said Sara Alyea, HVEF board president. "We're thrilled to be able to support and advance the efforts of these extraordinarily dedicated educators and are excited to see how students benefit from these programs."
"We are very excited to hear about these recent grant awards in the areas of Visual Performing Arts, Wellness, and land stewardship," said HVRSD Superintendent Dr. Rosetta Treece. "The Hopewell Valley Education Foundation continues to be an essential supporter of our students and programs. We are so fortunate to have such a phenomenal community partnership with HVEF and are so grateful for their generosity."
The Hopewell Valley Education Foundation operates a Spring and Fall funding cycle each year. Proposals for the Spring 2023 cycle will be accepted beginning in mid-January with a late spring deadline.

A few months ago I got more pens out of the box and they stopped working after a few letters even though they had not been used before (sat in box for over a year). I then tested all the pens I had not used (over half of the box) and although they initially worked they dried up after a few letters. Not impressed as I brought a big box hoping they would keep me going years.


Successful leaders are strong and decisive. So, when a president is diagnosed with a disability, it's easy to see why they hide it. But the U.S. has elected many presidents with chronic health issues. Some world leaders have secret ailments, too. Whether people know about it is a different story.
Here are 15 presidents and leaders who concealed their health problems. Woodrow Wilson even managed to hide a shocking physical handicap (page 10).
The nation was concerned when the White House announced Ronald Reagan would begin wearing a hearing aid in public. But what they didn't know was that he'd been struggling with high-pitch frequencies for decades after someone fired a pistol too close to his ear on a movie set years earlier.
In addition, the 40th president suffered from severe myopia (nearsightedness) but chose not to correct it so he wouldn't have to wear glasses. Instead, he wore a contact lens in just one eye to observe audience reactions during speeches and read notes with the other eye.
Next: This man couldn't spell at all!

The visitors took the lead just after half-time when Duncan Watmore, who had only just come on as a substitute, capitalised on a defensive mistake.
But Burnley's response was impressive. Manuel Benson equalised on the hour mark and then put the hosts ahead seven minutes later with a cross that evaded everyone, before Jonny Howson headed into his own net.
Connor Roberts was sent off in the final minutes when the referee thought he had handled on the line, although replays showed the ball actually hit the bar.

West Brom continued their good run of form with a fifth win in a row, beating Rotherham 3-0.
Jed Wallace put the Baggies in front in the 20th minute, Grady Diangana scored the second 12 minutes after half-time and Brandon Thomas-Asante made sure of the points, tucking home the rebound after his penalty was saved.
Hull and Sunderland drew 1-1 after an eventful second half. Oscar Estupinan spurned a glorious chance for Hull to take the lead when he rolled his penalty past the post, and Sunderland were then reduced to 10 men.
Elliot Embleton injured himself in fouling Ryan Woods and was shown a red card as he was carried off. Ross Stewart gave the visitors the lead in the 74th minute but Ozan Tufan equalised for Hull eight minutes from time.
Stoke came from behind to beat Bristol City 2-1, Liam Delap cancelling out Nahki Wells' opener with the final action of the first half before Jacob Brown netted the winner in the 57th minute.

The Tractor Boys lost 1-0 at Wycombe, with Brandon Hanlan netting in the 40th minute.
Sheffield Wednesday are two points behind Ipswich in third after they drew 0-0 at Hillsborough with Oxford, who were denied victory when Cameron Dawson kept out a Josh Murphy penalty in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
Devante Cole scored in each half as fourth-placed Barnsley beat struggling Burton 2-0 at Oakwell, the Tykes' fifth successive league victory.
Bolton, in fifth, also won 2-0 at home, beating Exeter, with Conor Bradley and Dion Charles netting in the first half.
David McGoldrick scored a hat-trick as Derby moved into the play-off places with a 4-0 thumping of Forest Green at Pride Park.
McGoldrick notched his treble, capped with an 87th-minute effort, after Nathaniel Mendez-Laing had put the Rams ahead five minutes into the contest.
MK Dons won in their first league match since sacking boss Liam Manning, triumphing 2-0 at Portsmouth.
Bradley Johnson and Jack Tucker got the goals as the Dons, under Dean Lewington's interim management, moved up a place to 22nd, swapping spots with Burton.
Charlton, also managerless after dismissing Ben Garner, led at home against Bristol Rovers before being defeated 2-1.
Ryan Inniss headed the Addicks in front before the visitors hit back through a second-half brace from substitute John Marquis.

Smyth opened the scoring after 61 minutes when he collected a pass from Theo Archibald and lashed the ball into the top-right corner from 20 yards for his ninth goal of the season.
The outcome was settled by an own goal in the 79th minute. A Tom James throw-in from the right was helped on by Omar Beckles and Smith deflected the ball into his own net.
Louis Reed's seventh-minute penalty saw Swindon beat Barrow 1-0 and move up to fourth in League Two.
It was one of just two games to be played in the fourth tier due to the weather.

After almost 5 years of competing together, and counting Olympic Silver Medal, one 470 World Championship gold medal, two silvers and one bronze, Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark (GBR) have cracked the ISAF Sailing World Rankings and today become the world #1 470 Women team.
Released today, 30 November, their upwards climb on the World Rankings has been accelerated by recent results including victory at the ISAF Sailing World Cup Final in Abu Dhabi, a silver medal at the 2015 470 World Championships and a win earlier in the summer on home waters at ISAF Sailing World Cup Weymouth & Portland.
Mills/Clark usurp the long-time world #1 partnership and 2012 Olympic Gold Medallists Jo Aleh/Polly Powrie (NZL) who held top billing since February 2015.
2015 World Champions, Lara Vadlau/Jola Ogar (AUT) move on up to a world #3 ranking.
The same ten teams hold firm in the world's top ten, but just a different order.
In the 470 Men world rankings, no change at the top as Mat Belcher/Will Ryan (AUS) easily keep the chasing pack at bay and count a 70 points advantage over the world #2 pairing of Luke Patience/Elliot Willis (GBR). The Aussies retained their World Championship crown for the third successive year as a partnership, which also marked Belcher's sixth successive World title.
Reclaiming a position they last held in December 2014, Croatia's Sime Fantela/Igor Marenic put their stake in the ground with a world #3 ranking, ousting Onan Barreiros/Juan Curbelo who drop to world #7.
The next ISAF Sailing World Rankings will be released in early 2016 (dates to be confirmed by ISAF).

Ty Dolla $ign says his album with Jeremih drops next month
MihTy is coming soon.
Theo Wargo/Earl Gibson III/Getty
On Wednesday Ty Dolla $ign shared new song "Clout" featuring 21 Savage. He debuted the track on Zane Lowe's Apple Music show and during his time with the host revealed details of his next project, a collaborative album with Jeremih.
The project, titled MihTy, is due out in June and is entirely produced by Hitmaka. "Next month I'm dropping a whole another project with me and my brother Jeremih," said Ty. "That's like a full-length album. I'm so excited for one."

Ty $ added that "it's nothing but smashes" and promised a "consistent album of bangers." He told Lowe: "I promise you, we probably did like eight sessions, maybe less than that, and we got like 60 songs, and we had to choose like 13-14. So there's leftovers from that project that we could probably give away to some of the homies."
The duo has worked together on multiple occasions in the past, including on Ty Dolla $ign's Beach House 3 single "Dawsin's Breek." A deluxe edition of that album is due on May 11.

Lillie Langtry (Emilie Charlotte Le Breton; 13 octombrie 1853 – 12 februarie 1929) a fost o actriță britanică născută în Insula Jersey. Frumusețe de renume, ea a fost poreclită "Jersey Lily" și a avut o serie de iubiți proeminenți, inclusiv pe viitorul rege al Marii Britanii, Edward al VII-lea.

Biografie

Emilie Charlotte Le Breton a fost singura fiică a rev. William Corbet Le Breton. El și-a câștigat o reputație proastă din cauza numărului mare de relații extraconjugale și, atunci când soția sa l-a părăsit în 1880, a părăsit Jersey.

S-a stabilit la Gretna Green împreună cu Emilie Davis (născută Martin), care era renumită pentru frumusețea ei. În 1842 cei doi s-au căsătorit la Chelsea. Lillie a avut șase frați, toți în afară de unul fiind mai mari. Ea a fost educată de tutorele fraților ei, devenind neobișnuit de educată pentru fetele din acele timpuri.

În 1874, Lillie în vârstă de 20 de ani s-a căsătorit cu proprietarul de pământ, irlandezul Edward Langtry, un văduv în vârstă de 26 de ani care fusese căsătorit cu sora soțiie fratelui ei William.

Lordul Ranelagh, un prieten al tatălui și cumnatei ei, a invitat-o pe Lillie Langtry la o recepție din înalta societate, unde ea a atras atenția cu frumusețea și spiritul ei. A devenit căutată în societatea londoneză și invitațiile au început să curgă. Curând, faima ei a ajuns la urechile regale.

Metresă regală
Prințul de Wales, Albert Edward ("Bertie"), a aranjat să stea alături de Langtry la o cină dată de Sir Allen Young la 24 mai 1877. (Soțul ei a fost așezat în celălalt capăt al mesei). Deși Edward era căsătorit cu Prințesa Alexandra a Danemarcei și avea șase copii, Edward era cunoscut ca un mare crai. Lillie a devenit metresa lui semi-oficială. Edward chiar a prezentat-o mame sale, regina Victoria. În cele din urmă, s-a dezvoltat o relație cordială între ea și Prințesa Alexandra.

Aventura a durat de la sfârșitul anului 1877 până în iunie 1880. El i-a permis lui Langtry să-l deseneze.  În cele din urmă relația lor s-a răcit și a fost eclipsată când Sarah Bernhardt a sosit la Londra în iunie 1879.

În iulie 1879 Langtry a început o aventură cu Contele de Shrewsbury; în ianuarie 1880 Langtry și contele au plănuit să fugă împreună. Prințul Edward a rămas atras de ea și vorbea frumos de ea în cariera ei târzie ca actriță de teatru.

Copii

În aprilie 1879, Langtry a început o aventură cu Prințul Louis de Battenberg, deși ea era de asemenea într-o relație cu Arthur Clarence Jones, un vechi prieten. În iunie 1880, a rămas însărcinată. În mod clar, soțul ei nu era tatăl copilului; ea l-a lăsat pe Prințul Louis să creadă că el este tatăl. După ce el le-a mărturisit părinților, ei l-au trimis pe nava de război 'Inconstant. Cu ceva bani de la Prințul de Wales, Langtry s-a retras la Paris cu Arthur Jones. La 8 martie 1881 a născut o fiică, Jeanne Marie.

Descoperirea scrisorilor pasionale ale lui Langtry către Arthur Jones in 1878 și publicarea lor în 1999 a susținut ideea că Jones a fost tatăl copilului. Fiul cel mic al Prințului Louis, Contele Mountbatten de Burma a susținut întotdeauna că tatăl lui a fost tatăl lui Jeanne Marie.

În 1902 Jeanne Marie s-a căsătorit cu politicianul scoțian Sir Ian Malcolm. Au avut patru copii. Lady Malcolm a murit în 1964.

Cariera
Ori la sugestia prietenului ei apropiat Oscar Wilde ori a actriței Sarah Bernhardt, Lillie a îmbrățișat cariera de actriță. În decembrie 1881, și-a făcut debutul în fața publicului londonez la Teatrul Haymarket în piesa She Stoops to Conquer.

Toamna următoare, ea a făcut primul turneu în Statele Unite, unde a avut un succes enorm.  În timp ce criticii în general îi condamnau interpretările, publicul o iubea. În 1903 a jucat în Statele Unite în The Crossways'', scrisă de ea în colaborare cu J. Hartley Manners]. Lillie s-a întors în SUA cu turnee în 1906 și din nou în 1912, apărând în vodeviluri.

Din 1882 până în 1891, Langtry a avut o relație cu milionarul american Frederic Gebhard. Datorită lui, ea s-a implicat în cursele de cai de rasă. Langtry a devenit cetățean american în 1897. A divorțat de soțul ei în același an iar el a murit câteva luni mai târziu în urma unui accident.

Langtry s-a implicat în altă relație, cu George Alexander Baird, un milionar amator de box, din aprilie 1891 până la decesul lui în martie 1893.

În 1899, ea s-a căsătorit cu mult mai tânărul Hugo Gerald de Bathe. Langtry a murit la Monaco în 1929.

A bit of history and context, in 2013 when I took over the production of the IMsL/ IMsBB weekend we had just under 6 months to pull together an event and many financial and organizational challenges. The relocation of the event to a new event space in a new city with little supporting documentation to smoothly accomplish this, was a rather a daunting task. Like many organizations, in hindsight we certainly would have done many things differently.
The proposed IMsL 2014 tee shirt generated many conversations between BIPOC, IMsL Productions and organization, and allies. What emerged because of these often-challenging conversations is an organization that has had the opportunity to examine and change many of its previously held positions and thoughts. Some of these were accomplished right away and some have required longer term systematic changes. Although the conversations have not always been easy, I am grateful to the members of the BIPOC community for their willingness to do this work for the betterment of the IMsL community, and the larger Leather Community. This is an evolving process, one that I as the producer of the IMsL/IMsBB weekend, am committed to continuing.
Several concrete things have emerged from this work.
Every person who registers for any part of the Weekend signs a Code of Conduct (available on the IMsL FAQ page) that reflects our values as an organization. We as an organization are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive weekend that reflects all aspects of the community.
As a result of the 2014 post event survey, it was clear that we needed to address not only racism, but ageism and trans phobia as well. We created three senior, year-round Staff/Foundation Liaison positions. The Liaisons serve on the workshop and scholarship selection committees, and began to work on programming to ensure the IMsL/IMsBB Weekend reflects the totality of the Women's Leather community and those who love them.
In 2016, in conjunction with the IMsL Foundation, the Liaisons joined with the Education Committee during the presenter's orientation webinar and brought their awareness to workshop presentations. A recording of this can be found on the IMsL page ( LINK to recording). All IMsL presenters are responsible for reviewing this material. The Liaisons also began an extensive outreach to the communities they represent to increase engagement and visibility and featured targeted program during the 2016 weekend.
In 2016 a group of white community members developed a resource flyer about racism in leather communities. The flyer was workshopped during the non-BIPOC caucus and Open BIPOC caucus sessions during IMsL/IMsBB Weekend and has been made available for the community to use.
A web version of "Tools for fighting Racism from White People to White People", is available via the link. For a print-quality version of the flyer, please email antiracistkink@gmail.com. The team that assembled it would be overjoyed to share it for distribution.
The work and dialogue continues as we plan for 2018 and begin to find ways to equalize opportunities for everyone to be part of this amazing community. Please join us in putting these concrete changes into reality!

Q: Opencv C++ Opens Two Window for Each imshow I am using OpenCV 3.3.0 for c++ in visual studio. The problem is that when I use this code, it opens two windows with the same name that one of them contains the image and the another one is extra and empty. (Screenshot from the two windows )
cv::Mat im0 = cv::imread("C:\\Users\\MY_PC\\Desktop\\Image.bmp"); //read the image
cv::resize(im0, I, cv::Size(640, 480), 0, 0, CV_INTER_LINEAR); //Resize the image to 640x480

cv::namedWindow("HI");
cv::imshow("HI", I);
cv::waitKey(0);

The more important problem following this problem, is that the waitkey() function just works with the extra window and I should press the keys on that window to see the changes in the another window.
Furthermore the setMouseCallback has the same problem and mouse commands doesn't work on the window containing the image. Thanks a lot.

A: I have the same problem with the project type "Win32 Console Application".
If you use a "Empty Project" the problem disappears.

A: Try commenting out the line cv::namedWindow("HI");, does it work?
Unfortunately I can't help with other two.

A: I don't see any mistakes in the code you shared.
However, I'm usually writing like that:
const char* display_name = "Display";//Display name
namedWindow(display_name, WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);//Create Display
imshow(display_name, frame);//Display Image
waitKey(0);//Wait a key to be pressed

The goal to this study is to evaluate the feasibility of restoring the Deschutes River Estuary (Capitol Lake) as an alternative to managing a lake. Earth Design Consultants, Inc. is sampling biological and physical variables from multiple estuarine community types of several reference estuaries. The environmental variables include: elevation, sediment grain size/characteristics, and salinity.
In 1951, a dam was constructed across the southern portion of Budd Inlet (Olympia, WA) creating freshwater lake in what was once a tidal wetland. Since the dam was constructed, Capitol Lake has been plagued with water quality and sedimentation issues. Consequently, the Capitol Lake Adaptive Management Plan (CLAMP) Steering Committee initiated a project to study the feasibility of restoring the estuary.
What is remarkable about this project is that it involves evaluation of several restoration alternatives using a high-tech modeling tool. Costs and benefits of the various restoration alternatives, as well as a "do nothing" alternative, will be evaluated and restoration performance goals will be set before any on-the-ground restoration action is taken. The tool being used is a sophisticated model developed by U.S. Geological Survey (Menlo Park, CA) which predicts sediment transport, water velocity, and salinity patterns in the estuary to be restored. The modeling tool uses river gage, tidal, wind, bathymetry, sediment, and salinity data as input variables.
Using the estuary's,underwater topography (morphometry), or shape of the estuary basin, the computer model describes patterns of sediment transport, salinity, water velocity, and inundation patterns modeled under different river flow and restoration scenarios. The model predicts where sand and mud flats will likely occur and expected erosional patterns associated with channels and different flow regimes.
We used multivariate statistics to develop empirical relationships between estuarine plant community types and the environmental variables. We then used these relationships to predict the likely outcome of restoration scenarios in the Deschutes River Estuary using the USGS Delft3/ SWAN models.
Rather than using indicators or single variable approaches to evaluate restoration success, we used the relationships between communities and measured environmental gradients developed during this project to track likely restoration trajectory paths through multidimensional state space.
estuaries. The field data were used to develop statistical relationships describing the association of plant and animal communities with the environmental factors which organize those communities. These statistical relationships were then used in the model to predict what communities were likely to occur under each of the potential restoration scenarios. This information will be used by managers to evaluate each of the scenarios. In this suite of studies, field data and computer modeling will be used to evaluate alternative restoration plans for the removal of a dam before removing one brick. Models are useful tools for examining the influence of site-specific and landscape variables on restoration projects.


A journey through design, fashion and networking. United around the idea of community and creativity, we take digital ideas and make them happen.
The most appreciated submission came from one of the finest illustrators out of Italy - David Sossella. He presented the idea in a simple way, yet through a very complex drawing, depicting 27 characters interconnected with one another as part of a whole. His very distinctive drawing highlighted the idea in a perfect way, pushing the project forward.

Letter from Catalonia: Alarming measures
Posted Mar 27, 2020	by Chris Gilbert
Culture , Health , Ideology , Strategy Spain Commentary Catalonia , coronavirus , COVID-19 , Featured , pandemic
I'm in a small city in Catalonia called Olot, not far from the Pyrenees. I came here because I knew the coronavirus lockdown would be much rougher in Barcelona. Still, people walk around with masks and keep social distances, barely going out. There are three of us in a two-bedroom apartment. We read the news with a sort of automatic horror and try–using social networks and videochats–to keep our social contacts, our work, and even our militancy going. It's an uphill path, and we are surely slipping.
The horror one feels is not only at the number of deaths and infections but also at the authoritarian measures taken by the Spanish government, which has mobilized police and army to confine people to their homes while letting economic compulsion drive large numbers to work in unnecessary sectors of the economy–even in factories with proven cases of coronavirus. Autonomous regions are being stripped of their powers and democratic rights. Then there are the economic rescue measures that defend big capital, leaving poor people and workers in the lurch, especially the most precarious ones.
More generally, I find the whole global situation highly disarming and barely know what to think. Without a doubt, you can see a basic thesis of social reproduction theory confirmed in this crisis: the contradiction between capital and life, between "productive" work and the work of social reproduction. SRT has long worked this angle. And even if it is hard to define the precise nature of the contradiction, it is nevertheless clear as day that those who defend the "economy" and those who defend life are pulling in opposite directions these days.
I think one key question is to determine what kind of crisis this is: a crisis of capital or a health crisis and an environmental one? Obviously, it is a bit of all three. But to say that is not to say much. The real question is the structural relation between the three elements. You could say, as Eric Toussaint has claimed, that the coronavirus pandemic merely triggered an economic crisis that was already imminent. Yet I think the more interesting issue is that–quite possibly for the first time–we are experiencing an economic crisis that clearly has an environmental dimension.
It's become commonplace to say that a new world order will emerge out of the crisis. But that is a terrible thing to say, not only because it is emerging right now but more importantly because it naturalizes that order. The character of the new world will be decided by struggle. Perhaps some ecological dimension will be brought in, and then the key question is whether it will be eco-fascist or eco-democratic. The latter, obviously, is the only meaningful way to have an ecological, sustainable society.
The most important word in the last paragraph is "struggle" and the most important problem in the world right now is the shortage of it. The left has been weak for a long time, but even so it seems surprisingly paralyzed by the current situation. Outside of my home in Barcelona people were blocking the Avenida Meridiana for more than 150 days to protest for Catalan political prisoners. Now they've gone home with little more than a peep. Nevertheless, on a grassroots level, people are organizing networks of mutual support and workers have resisted the compulsion to work in factories, most notably in the Basque country
The vast majority is just trying to be good citizens. Me too. One's desire for self-preservation may be limited but even so, there is the question of other people–who are not always the hell that Sartre said they were–and especially health workers among whom I count many friends here. They are heroic. At the same time, if the left had a strategy that would leave the world better off and that meant massive protests and actions that caused significant casualties, it would be the right thing to do. (I think that is one thing General Giap taught us.)
The problem is that we don't have such a strategy. So, the key task now is to communicate, organize and think. There cannot be enough of these three things going on now. States never roll back authoritarian measures without pressure from below. Today almost all the world's governments are working to develop a new order that will combine capitalism with measures of untold social control. It will be called green and it will be called healthy. The task for us is to conceive and fight for an order in which–to echo a famous document on the left–the free healthy development of each of us conditions the free healthy development of all.

Q: keep data obtained in onResponse method available throughout the class Basically in my android app I want user to search cities around the world, thus I am using an api to get all the cities of the world and storing in an ArrayList, this has been done in the onResponse method of okhttp library and after that the list becomes empty. This array list holds values only in onResponse but I want to use it in my entire class after the execution. Can anyone give me any ideas on that? Here is the code.
onCreate(){
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
    final Request request = new Request.Builder()
            .url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/David-Haim/CountriesToCitiesJSON/master/countriesToCities.json")
            .build();
    Call call = client.newCall(request);
    call.enqueue(new Callback() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
            try {
                fullObject = new JSONObject(response.body().string());
                JSONArray s = fullObject.names();
                for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) {
                    JSONArray citiesOfOneCoutry = null;
                    citiesOfOneCoutry = fullObject.getJSONArray(s.getString(i));
                    for(int j=0; j<citiesOfOneCoutry.length();j++) {
                        allCities.add(citiesOfOneCoutry.getString(j));
                    }
                    Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: in for "+allCities.size());
                }
                Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: outside for "+allCities.size()); //gives full size.
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: outside try "+allCities.size()); //gives full size
        }
    });

    Log.d(TAG, "outside response inside oncreate"+allCities.size()); //gives 0

}
I see in the logs that message from outside onResponse one is first and then the callback is getting executed. that is quite understandable but I want trick to get this ArrayList after response execution.

A: That is the nature of asynchronous operations, they don't complete in the order you wrote them.  allCities data will not be available in your onCreate method because it hasn't had a chance to execute yet.  The trick to using it outside of onResponse is to move the code that relies on the response to its own method.
private void updateUI() {
     // Your code that relies on 'allCities'
}

and then in onResponse, call updateUI (or whatever you call it) after you populate allCities --
@Override
public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
    try {
        fullObject = new JSONObject(response.body().string());
        JSONArray s = fullObject.names();
        for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) {
            JSONArray citiesOfOneCoutry = null;
            citiesOfOneCoutry = fullObject.getJSONArray(s.getString(i));
            for(int j=0; j<citiesOfOneCoutry.length();j++) {
                allCities.add(citiesOfOneCoutry.getString(j));
            }
            Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: in for "+allCities.size());
        }
        Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: outside for "+allCities.size()); //gives full size.
    } catch (JSONException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: outside try "+allCities.size()); //gives full size
    updateUI();
}


The Senior Special adviser to the President on Diaspora and Foreign Affairs Hon. Abike Dabiri Erewa has reiterated that the present administration is committed to improving the nation's healthcare system through liaising with Nigerian doctors in Diaspora.
She said this at the Nigeria Health Watch annual Future Health Conference themed 'The Diaspora as Nigerians Brain Gain' in Abuja.
She further called on Nigerian doctors in Diaspora who have gained landmark achievements in other countries to come back and strengthen the Nigeria healthcare system.
"With this structured plan, we do not have to solely rely on our developmental partners to help solve our problems we have the capability to solve these problems ourselves. We are relying on Nigerians healthcare givers that have gained landmark in other countries to come back home and strengthen our healthcare system." She said.
The Future of Health Conference is a leading platform that sets actionable roadmaps to move the Nigerian health sector forward with this year's focus on Diaspora leveraging their specialty to building networks that will strengthen the Nigeria health sector.
Speaking at the event, Dr Ifeanyi Nsofor, Director of Policy and Advocacy, Nigeria Health Watch called on Nigerian doctors in Diaspora to see the opportunities in Nigeria's health ecosystem and seek ways to leverage their expertise in building a good network aimed at strengthening the Nigeria's health sector.
The Nigeria Medical Association on its part noted that it is in continuous collaboration with Diaspora doctors on Continuous Professional Developmental aimed at synergizing the health sector, Dr Tonnie Okoye, National Strategic Program Manager for the Nigeria Medical Association revealed.
He however lamented the communication gap between doctors based in Nigeria and those abroad while calling on Nigerian doctors based both in Nigeria and abroad to give in their best to improve quality of life in the country.

89 Brygada Oz (hebr. חטיבת עוז, Chatiwat Oz,  ang. Oz Brigade, znana również jako Chatiwat ha-Komando, חטיבת הקומנדו, dos. brygada komandosów) – izraelska jednostka wojskowa komandosów sformowana 25 grudnia 2015 roku na rozkaz Szefa Sztabu Generalnego Sił Obronnych Izraela Gadiego Eizenkota, w skład której weszły jednostki specjalne Egoz, Rimon, Duwdewan i Maglan. Podległa jest 98 Dywizji Spadochronowej dowodzonej przez Dowództwo Centralne.

Powstanie
W lipcu 2015 roku Szef Sztabu Generalnego Sił Obronnych Izraela poinformował o zamiarze stworzenia jednostki, która miałaby się stać brygadą komandosów. Doprowadziłoby to do sytuacji, w której dotychczasowe jednostki specjalne pozostałyby dalej podporządkowane poszczególnym rodzajom sił zbrojnych. Z kolej nowa brygada skupiłaby w sobie wszystkie jednostki komandosów funkcjonujące w armii izraelskiej, powstałe jako odpowiedź na potrzeby operacyjne wynikające z zagrożeń ze strony arabskiej. Gadi Eizenkot uzasadnił ten krok potrzebą centralizacji łańcucha dowodzenia, ponieważ dotychczas każda jednostka komandosów była niezależna w tych kwestiach. Skumulowanie kilku jednostek w jednej brygadzie usprawni ich działania operacyjne i uprości łańcuch zaopatrzenia. Przyspieszy to także odpowiedź izraelskiej armii na powstające zagrożenia. Brygada ma się stać także początkiem dla nowej izraelskiej doktryny pola walki.

25 grudnia 2015 roku w Ejn Harod oficjalnie powołano do życia 89 Brygadę Oz w ramach 98 Dywizji Spadochronowej. Podczas przekazania insygniów brygady Eizenkot przekonywał, że nowa jednostka jest wyrazem skupiania się armii na profesjonalizacji i specjalizacji w różnych dziedzinach działań.

Historia
Wraz z dniem utworzenia brygady jej dowódcą został pułkownik Dawid Zini, który wcześniej służył w Sajeret Matkal.

Na przełomie stycznia i lutego 2016 roku brygada brała udział w swoich pierwszych czterodniowych ćwiczeniach o kryptonimie Noc mostów. Dowództwo 98 Dywizji Spadochronowej chciało w ich trakcie przeprowadzić manewry wchodzących w skład brygady jednostek: Rimon, Duwdewan, Egoz i Maglan.

W czerwcu 2017 roku brygada bała udział w cypryjsko-izraelskich manewrach, w których realizowano scenariusze wojenne. W ich ramach 400 izraelskich żołnierzy, w tym komandosów z brygady Oz, ćwiczyło z cypryjską Gwardią Narodową walki w terenie zurbanizowanym i górskim w dzień i w nocy. Izraelskie dowództwo pozytywnie oceniło zgranie żołnierzy z brygady Oz. Wypełnili wszystkie powierzone im zadania.

W sierpniu 2017 roku nowym dowódcą brygady został pułkownik Awi Blot.

W październiku 2017 roku cypryjskie siły specjalne dokonały rewizyty w Izraelu. Żołnierze obu państw brali udział w manewrach w improwizowanej arabskiej wiosce oraz terenach górskich. W ćwiczeniach brały udział śmigłowce transportowe i bojowe izraelskich sił powietrznych.

W grudniu 2017 roku doszło do kolejnych manewrów komandosów izraelskich i cypryjskich. Ponownie realizowano scenariusz walk górskich.

We wrześniu 2018 roku zapadła decyzja o zastąpieniu będących na dotychczasowym uzbrojeniu brygady karabinów TAR AR na karabinek M4. Wcześniej w brygadzie używano różnego typu uzbrojenia, w celu ujednolicenia uzbrojenia jednostki dowództwo postanowiło przyjąć M4.

Na przełomie 2018 i 2019 roku brygada została oddelegowana do ochrony wojsk inżynieryjnych podczas operacji "Północna Tarcza" na pograniczu libańsko-izraelskim.

Skład

W skład batalionu wchodzą:

 Jednostka specjalna rozpoznania Egoz – jednostka powstała w odpowiedzi na zagrożenie jakim stał się dla Izraela Hezbollah. Współcześnie specjalizuje się w guerilli, walkach przeciwpartyzanckich na północy kraju na granicy z Libanem,
 Jednostka Duwdewan – jednostka powstała w celu likwidacji zagrożenia terroryzmem w Judei i Samarii (na Zachodnim Brzegu), infiltracji ludności lokalnej (mista'arawim), organizowania zasadzek, przeprowadzania nocnych zatrzymań, prowadzenia skrytych działań,
 Jednostka dalekiego rozpoznania Maglan – jej pierwotnym przeznaczeniem były działania przeciwpancerne przy wykorzystaniu najnowszych technologii. Obecnie jej przeznaczeniem jest prowadzenie działań bojowych i zwiadowczych na tyłach wroga, lokalizowanie i niszczenie celów strategicznych.

Do 2018 roku w skład brygady wchodziła:

 Jednostka zwiadu pustynnego Rimon – powstała w 2010 roku jednostka miała być odpowiedzią na zagrożenia jakie pojawiły się na granicy egipsko-izraelskiej: przemyt broni, nielegalne przekraczanie granicy, terroryzm islamski. Rimon walczyła między innymi w trakcie operacji Cuk Ejtan w 2014 roku w Strefie Gazy. W 2018 roku postanowiono połączyć jednostkę Rimon z jednostką Maglan.

This section includes listings for marketing publications produced by the Northern Pacific Railway.
Resource
Format
The NORTHWEST PDF The NP produced The NORTHWEST from August 1927 to April 1969, when it was replaced by GO! magazine. It was published monthly until April of 1955, when it switch to every-two-months with the May-June issue of 1955. The publication was targeted at NP customers and potential customs. While the articles are somewhat lightweight, there are true nuggets of historical and modeling information in some articles and in many of the pictures. All the PDFs in the collection can be searched for specific names, locations, businesses, or terms. Issues are 8-16 pages.
GO! With The Northern Pacific Railway PDF The employee and customer focused publications underwent some dramatic changes during the last three years of the NP. The last publication introduced was a combination of The NORTHWEST and the Mainsteet/TellTale. The GO! publication was roughly 24 pages, with the middle 8 pages included as an insert. The insert was targeted at employees, while the other pages targeted customers.
The North Coaster PDF This monthly, four-page publication was published by the Passenger Traffic Department. Articles were diverse and included such topics as Yellowstone Park visitation or enhancements, special Girl Scout gatherings, celebrities riding the North Coast Limited, and exciting destinations like the Seattle World's Fair. It would appear The North Coaster was intended for agents who sold passenger train tickets; either NP employees or others in the travel industry.
Various Marketing Materials PDF This folder contains a modest but growing set of NP marketing materials, like brochures that promote an NP service like overseas shipments or piggy-back trailer service.
This section includes listings for publications produced for employees of the Northern Pacific Railway.
The TELLTALE PDF Published monthly by the Advertising and Publicity Department from January 1940 to June 1967, when it was replaced by MAINSTREET. This publication is targeted squarely at NP employees. It includes retirement notifications for every month, along with safety records and short articles on topics related to employees. For years, the TellTale included a table listing all the Northern Pacific retirees, their positions, and years of service. In addition, The TellTale often includes a table of injuries, a listing of promotions, and facts on the Northern Pacific Beneficial Association.
MAINSTREET PDF MAINSTREET was a replacement for The Telltale, running from 1967 to 1969. This publication had the look of a small-town newspaper, 11x17 inches. The subjects were diverse, from new equipment announcements to beauty-contest winners. This started out as a monthly publication, then every two months, with the last issue covering four months.
Eventually, we plan to upload scans of posters and calendars produced by the Northern Pacific. But for now, just a placeholder - under construction.

Gov. Christie signs internet gambling into law

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie signed a measure today allowing internet gambling in Atlantic City, a move his administration expects to nearly double casino revenue and provide a lifeline to the struggling seaside resort.
"This was a critical decision, and one that I did not make lightly," Christie said in a statement. "But with the proper regulatory framework and safeguards that I insisted on including in the bill, I am confident that we are offering a responsible yet exciting option that will make Atlantic City more competitive while also bringing financial benefits to New Jersey as a whole."
NJ STATEHOUSE Dome.jpg.JPG
• N.J. Legislature approves Christie's online gambling changes
• N.J. Democrats plan to back Christie's online gambling changes
• Gov. Christie approves of online gambling with caveats
• Online gambling could save Atlantic City, analyst says
The state Treasury said today it expected the new law — combined with the recovery from Hurricane Sandy and additional advertising — to sharply increase casino revenue from $235 million in the current fiscal year to nearly $436 million in fiscal 2014.
Last month, securities analysts with Wells Fargo were even more optimistic, saying that online wagering could generate from $650 million to $850 million in the "near term."
The legislation received bipartisan approval in the Legislature today. The Assembly passed the measure (A2578) by a vote of 68-5, with one abstention, and the Senate signed off on the bill (S1565) by a 35-1 vote.
The law will allow any game played in the city's 12 casinos to be played on the internet — exclusively in New Jersey at first but later in other places willing to partner with the state.
Licenses will be limited to the Atlantic City casinos and require the companies to keep most of the equipment to run the operations on site.
Sponsors hailed the measure as one of the last chances to the revive the state's gaming industry, which has been battered by the proliferation of casinos in neighboring states.
"This is a historic moment for Atlantic City and for the state of New Jersey," state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), a primary sponsor of the bill, said before the Senate vote. "Because of internet gaming, at least one and likely two casinos will not have to close."
For now it is unclear when gamblers will be able to sign up for internet wagering, or precisely how they will do so. The state will need to create rules, review applications and issue licenses. But to achieve the governor's projected casino revenue, which Lesniak called "aggressive," he said the program would need to be in place by this fall.

Christie conditionally vetoed the measure earlier this month, saying he wanted to be sure the economic benefits were carefully weighed "against the risks of addiction, corruption, and improper influence."
He recommended extending prohibitions on casino-related jobs for state workers and others with conflicts of interest, increasing funds for programs that treat compulsive gambling, and requiring elected state officials to disclose current and former connections to companies seeking online gaming licenses.
The governor also called for more taxes than legislators had proposed — 15 percent of all internet gambling revenue rather than the 10 percent in the original bill. Casinos currently pay an 8 percent gross tax on casino revenue, which would not apply to internet wagering under the legislation.

His biggest change: The law would expire after a decade, giving lawmakers a chance to review the measure on its merits.
The Legislature concurred with all those changes today.
Christie was not always in favor of internet gambling. Two years ago, he vetoed an earlier version of the bill, saying that "any effort to expand casino gambling outside of Atlantic City must be supported by referendum." He relented after the Legislature agreed to put safeguards in place.

Home Business Unlocking Retirement Confidence
Unlocking Retirement Confidence
Alliance Bernstein
American workers might do better at investing for retirement if they could see good role models in action. What are the top habits and attitudes that unlock confidence? Our latest survey has some answers.
Capable Investors "Get It"
Our new survey of defined contribution (DC) plan participants uncovered three distinct personas defined by their attitudes toward investing:
Capable: confident investors
Eager: young, unaware participants
Conservative: cautious savers
From their answers to a series of 14 questions, we found that each group holds relatively distinct financial attitudes, perspectives and levels of knowledge. Only one group—Capable—appears headed in the right retirement direction.
That direction includes the realization that you need to invest for retirement, not just save. Capables get that. More than the other two personas, Capables feel more knowledgeable and confident at being long-term investors (Display 1). When we asked Capables about selecting investments for their contributions, 70% said they'd be comfortable doing it themselves; less than half of the other two groups felt that way. Only Capables have a strong majority who feel confident about selecting a strategy that can generate lifetime income once they retire (60% versus roughly 40% for Eagers and Conservatives).
Higher Financial Literacy, Higher Contribution Rates
As a group, Capables did the best on our financial literacy quiz: Nearly 60% got six or more correct answers (out of eight). They typically have more household and DC plan assets than the other personas, and they have about three times as much savings outside the plan.
What's the most notable difference with Capables? On average, their contribution rate to their DC plan is two full percentage points higher than that of the other groups (8% vs. 6%). Over time, that makes a huge difference.
A Curious Relationship with Target-Date Funds
Nearly one-third of Capables invest in target-date funds—in line with our overall survey results. But nearly one-fourth of those Capables invest 100% of their assets in target-date funds. That's far more than in the other two groups and much more aligned with the strategic concept of target-date funds.
Capables are also more aware of their target-date usage: only 16% said they don't know whether or not they use one. That's much lower than the 27% of Eagers and 25% of Conservatives that were unaware.
Capables are the most independent and savvy group. Those who invest in a target-date fund most frequently stated that it keeps them appropriately invested as they save for retirement—and in retirement. Capables who don't invest in target-date funds cited two big reasons. First, they like to be in control of their investment strategy, and feel that target-date funds take that control away (39%). And second, they think they can do a better job building their wealth than a target-date fund (40%). Also, if automatically enrolled, this group is far more likely to opt out.
With their better planning, saving and confidence levels, it makes sense that these independent investors show a slightly lower interest in target-date funds with a guaranteed lifetime income component (Display 2).
The views expressed herein do not constitute research, investment advice or trade recommendations and do not necessarily represent the views of all AB portfolio-management teams.
"Target date" in a fund's name refers to the approximate year when a plan participant expects to retire and begin withdrawing from his or her account. Target-date funds gradually adjust their asset allocation, lowering risk as a participant nears retirement. Investments in target-date funds are not guaranteed against loss of principal at any time, and account values can be more or less than the original amount invested—including at the time of the fund's target date. Also, investing in target-date funds does not guarantee sufficient income in retirement.

You Name It, We Build It
Posted by Lauren Reed | Nov 23, 2021 11:10:00 AM
When Brindley Construction was founded more than 61 years ago, our slogan was "You name it, we build it." That saying still holds true to this day. We have been fortunate this year with a busy schedule and projects ranging from large commercial projects to small jobs and everything in between. Our company is hard at work every day, helping existing businesses expand and new organizations come to fruition.
So what have we been working on, you may ask?
TriStar Bank
We were thrilled to be selected to build TriStar Bank's new Neapolis location in Columbia, Tennessee. The new design-build 2,770-square-foot branch will be located at 2567 Nashville Highway in Columbia. TriStar Bank holds a unique distinction in the world of finance — it was the first bank to open in the new millennium. Doors opened at precisely one second after midnight on January 1, 2000. It was the first new bank to be chartered in Dickson County in nearly 50 years. Their vision is to see every client leave with a smile and come back with a friend, and we certainly feel like we have made a friend with TriStar Bank. We appreciate the values they have as a company and we know this will be a great partnership.
Members of the community, Maury County Chamber of Commerce, TriStar Bank, and Brindley Construction come together for the groundbreaking at the new branch location in Columbia, Tennessee.
The groundbreaking for the new Neapolis location was held on November 12th. We had a great turnout that included some of our local state representatives, members of the TriStar Bank team from different branches and management, the Brindley Construction Team, Maury County Chamber of Commerce representatives and the community of Maury County. "We look forward to working with Brindley Construction as we continue to expand our footprint in Maury County," said TriStar Bank's Maury Country President, Michael Franks.
Who doesn't love donuts and coffee? We certainly do! The new 1,900-square-foot location in Pulaski, Tennessee will be replacing the old Krystal's building that was located on West College Street. Brindley crews demolished the original building and are in the process of constructing the new Dunkin' in that location. Building is expected to be completed Spring 2022.
Members of the community, the Dunkin' Team and the Brindley Construction Team gather together to break ground at the new store location in Pulaski, Tennessee.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 25th to celebrate the start of the project and included local officials, Dunkin' team members, the local Giles Chamber representatives and the Brindley Construction crew. The weather was perfect for a good cup of coffee and a delicious donut. Demolition of the old building has been completed and work is underway on the new Dunkin'.
TriGreen Dealership
TriGreen's new facility in Columbia, Tennessee has a strong foundation under its belt. Work started in April 2021 and should be completed by Summer 2022. Project Manager Jeff Brindley and Superintendent Matt Johnson have done a wonderful job getting the project off the ground with assistance from Architect George Nuber. "We are excited to be working with such a great group people over at TriGreen Equipment," said Vice President and Project Manager, Jeff Brindley. "They have been patient with us throughout this process and, as a team, we have kept the lines of communication between the owner, architect and the team very strong." Steel has been erected and the dealership is taking shape at the new location in Columbia, Tennessee.
Marshall County Health Department
Marshall County Health Department's new 8,000-square-foot building, located in Lewisburg, Tennessee, is making great progress with completion expected the end of this year. Our crews have been hard at work under the leadership of Brindley Project Manager Bryan Brindley and Superintendent Chris Dickey.
The new metal building for the health department is taking shape in Marshall County
"We had a beam signing in April that featured signatures from elected officials and health department staff. The beam was placed at the entrance of the new building and, though it will not be visible to the public, those who signed the beam will be part of the new location for years to come," said Lauren Reed, Marketing Director. "This was a unique experience in place of having a groundbreaking."
Giles County Chamber Remodel
Brindley was tickled to get to work with the local Giles Chamber of Commerce on the remodelof their existing building. The scope includes demolition of the existing interior, new commercial doors, new cabinetry, finishes and specialties. The new layout of the Chamber will feature a co-space for businesses or individuals to be able to come in and have access to wifi and conference room space. "We are excited to partner with the Giles County Chamber to update their space and bring new life to this historic building on the square.," said J.J. Brindley, Director of Business Development. The remodel is expected to be complete by the end of this year. We look forward to the many events that will take place at the newly renovated Chamber facility.

Here are (some of) the Women in Tech!
Could the tide for female entrepreneurs be turning? We think so.
As yet another indication of how women are making waves and standing up as role models to inspire other women, I'm delighted to support the celebration of (some of) the female entrepreneurs leading in technology entrepreneurship.
And that's not all. If you know a great (female) speaker in technology and entrepreneurship, you can recommend a speaker for consideration for the few remaining speaking slots at the Dublin Web Summit.
Here's to many more female technology entrepreneurs getting the recognition they deserve.
