Rockin' the Runway for a Reason
Written by Steph Strucaly and Kristine Adams
This past Friday, March 9, Morgan and Eliot students strutted their "stuff" in the Morgan auditorium for the 6th Annual Morgan Interact Prom Fashion Show. Just like a New York Fashion Week show, there was glamour, pumping music, and sassy poses. The over $900 made from the Interact event was given to the Art from the Heart organization and The Clinton Rotary Cancer Relief Fund.
Art from the Heart is a subgroup of Circle of Care, a service group lending a hand to children with cancer. Art from the Heart, a local version of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, is a coalition of Daniel Hand and Morgan School students, who meet periodically from February to May to plan a design for a child's room. Every January, one child's name is chosen randomly from a jar in the waiting room at the Yale Pediatric Oncology Center. This year, Joshua, age 7, was picked for his room makeover. Mrs. Nunan,the Morgan advisor for Art from the Heart, has been involved with the cause since 2007. While teaching a housing and design class, which is no longer offered at Morgan, she was asked by Hand teachers if she would like to join them in the newly formed group. Since then, Mrs. Nunan has helped with the design of seven cancer patients' rooms. Each time has been a successful and uplifting experience for the students, advisors, and the patients. How do they raise all this money? While Hand students hold a bakesale, Morgan students get dressed up to walk the runway for their fashion show. Half of their earnings goes to the Cancer Relief Fund in Clinton.
The new Interact advisor, Mrs. Robinson, organized the event for the first time. Her intentions were to show off "some lovely ladies in beautiful dresses with handsome men by their side". And that is just what audience members got. Serafina Sicignano, who attended the show, commented afterwards, "I liked how the show was organized into different categories from simple but elegant, to short and casual, to glitzy for prom. I really felt like the way they were modeled caught my eye and made me interested in buying some." Not only did the show include fashion, but Interact members raffled off prom-themed gifts, such as a $200 valued limo ride, junior and senior prom tickets, gift cards for pampering oneself before prom, and a Christo Jewelers' watch, originally priced at $150. To say the least, the Interact club was thrilled at the outcome of the show, especially at the size of this year's audience. President of Interact, Emily Perzanoski said, "It's great that the fashion show seems to be getting more and more popular each year. We're so happy to be able to raise the amount of money we do to give to these two amazing organizations".
The Saturday following the show was a dress sale held in the Morgan library. Run by the "Dress for Less" group, lightly worn gowns were sold for either $10, $30, or $50. The money made at this event was again put towards Joshua's new room. The group gathered $440 from the sale on Saturday alone; however, on Tuesday, March 20, there will be another sale directly after school in the Morgan library. Mrs. Nunan, who is apart of Dress for Less as well, hopes to bring a crowd to the sale a second time around.
As models who participated in the fashion show, we believe that the cause behind both the show and Art from the Heart gives a rewarding feeling. We feel satisfied to know we helped lift a child's spirits. Mrs. Nunan and Mrs. Robinson will agree that we are thankful for the support given by anyone who attended the show, gave a donation, or bought a dress from the sale. Watch out for another show-stopping performance by your very own Morgan models in years to come!

Normally I run this in a preset called Overall Dental. If you search this term, it should pull up my tip of the day on how to set it up for remote mode.
I'd use the JW - Spooky Central Low Frequencies preset as a starting point to convert it to plasma based.
Total run time would be 2hrs 30minutes.
While it does not target cold sores specifically, it seems to really clean out the mouth of many things I've ran it against -- including what appeared to be cold sores.
If you really want to hit it hard, suggest you run the above sets via plasma once every 3 days, and run a second generator using the Overall Dental configuration via remote 24/7 for two to three weeks.
While the plasma is not in use, you can use the generator to run detox if you only have 2 generators.
This morning clearing the throat into the toilet I noticed darkish colored mucus which is normally a whitish to semi clear color. In my mind it confirms that the frequency sets worked for me.
Spooky plasma for cold sore.
I have lower back pain which is greatly emphasized after having sat down. The more time in the chair the worse the pain standing up.

Senators Put Forward Act to Withhold Funds
Legislation in Response to Recruiting Center Opposition Would Remove Millions in Funds from Local Projects

A threat became real yesterday when a U.S. senator introduced legislation to remove more than $2.3 million from local projects in response to the Berkeley City Council's controversial opposition to the Marine recruiting center in Downtown Berkeley.
Sen. Jim DeMint and five other senators introduced the Semper Fi Act of 2008 in Congress yesterday. The act will strip spending earmarked for at least six projects in Berkeley from a Senate appropriations bill and give the funds to the Marines.
"Berkeley City Council members have shown complete ingratitude to our military and their families, and the city doesn't deserve a single dime of special pet project handouts," DeMint said in a statement.
Last Tuesday, the City Council approved two resolutions which supported protestors outside of the military recruitment center and asked the city manager to send a letter to the recruiters saying they are "unwelcome and uninvited intruders."
The legislators called the language offensive to the country's military.
If the act passes, earmarked spending that would be removed includes $243,000 for the Chez Panisse Foundation's lunch program and $975,000 for UC Berkeley's Matsui Center on Politics and Public Service.
"These people have nothing to do with the council's action," said City Councilmember Gordon Wozniak. "They should not be penalized just because they happen to live in Berkeley."
Rep. John Campbell, along with over 40 co-sponsors, also introduced a companion bill in the House of Representatives, said his communications director Vartan Djihanian.
But Sen. Barbara Boxer, who proposed some of the funding for the projects, said groups in need of the funding shouldn't be punished, said Natalie Ravitz, Boxer's communications director, in an e-mail.
"Senator DeMint may not like what the Berkeley City Council has to say but to punish the children, police, first responders and university for something they had nothing to do with is just plain wrong," Ravitz said.
Berkeley City Councilmembers Laurie Capitelli and Betty Olds submitted an item for Tuesday's council meeting to rescind the decision to send the military center the controversial letter.
"I determined long before (DeMint) made his inflammatory statement that I had made a mistake and that I was going to introduce an item to correct it," Capitelli said.
Olds said the federal threat to cut funds did not play a role in their decision to create the new resolution.
"We're rescinding it because we think it was wrong to do," she said.
Wozniak, who voted against last week's resolutions, said he considered the language offensive but still thinks the federal bill is unreasonable.
"(The resolution) was offensive to people who personally lost loved ones," he said. "But I think it's equally bad for U.S. Representatives or Senators to threaten their constituents to take away their money."
UC Berkeley spokesperson Marie Felde said UC staff has contacted DeMint and his staff to clarify that the campus and city are separate institutions.
"We think it's unfortunate that the senators would target the University of California campus simply because the campus is located in the city of Berkeley," she said. "The facts apparently had no impact."
Some council members say they don't think the bill will be passed.
"I'd invite the Senator to come out here and talk about it," Capitelli said. "I'm not going to worry about it. I would hope that cooler heads would prevail."

Q: Will replacing B23N20 mosfet with B4227 have problems? I have the microphone amplifier and line Powerpod 410 R that after an analysis I found that one of the output mosfets is in total short.
The short mosfet is this IRFB23N20D, however I don't find it in my country Brazil, but I found this IRFB4227PbF. As I am new to amplifiers using mosfet, I asked for help, I have been reading the datashet of one and the other has some differences as the current supported my question is will I have problems replacing what I found in my country?
DATASHET's:
IRFB23N20D
IRFB4227PbF
IRS2092
OBSERVATION:
I'm sorry I use google translator, so I may not express myself well.

A: The IRFB4427 has lower ON resistance, but very high input/output capacitances.
In a Class D audio amplifier, I would not replace the IRFB23N20 with it.
Instead, you can use MOSFETs with similar I/O capacities and currents. (IRFB4020, IRFB5620, FQP19N20, RCX200N20)

K-9 Deputy and K-9 take down suspected Marion County thief
MARION COUNTY, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - A K-9 Deputy and his K-9 took down a Marion County man suspected of stealing from a Lowes store.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office says that on Tuesday, multiple units responded to the Lowes on Southwest State Rod 200 in reference to a theft in progress. Upon arrival, the suspect, who was identified as 31-year-old Terrance Blocker, walked out of the store with $1,156 worth of merchandise that he did not pay for. He ran from Deputy Gernert and a chase began.
They say that Deputy Gernert chased the suspect to the woods behind the medical complex that is just east of the store. Deputy Gernert set up a perimeter and waited for K-9 to arrive on scene.
K-9 Deputy Matthew Bowers and his K-9 OTOW were said to have arrived and immediately tracked in the woods and apprehended Blocker. Blocker was treated for minor injuries in relation to the dog bite. He was then transported to the Marion County Jail.

Their Faces Haunt Us Still
What must we do with the faces that gawk at us from black and white photos, steaming, joyous, and jubilant as they celebrate another successful lynching?
We have researched time and again the victims of these horrific crimes, attempting to decipher their lifestyles to understand if any of their previous life choices led them to this unfortunate violent end — this cliff whereupon they are immolated.
What grievous crime must a man commit to merit such a violent death? Must he ravage and rape innocent white children? How many of them must he devour before he is apprehended and given such an expedient, extra-judicial execution at the end of a noose? His testicles severed off, his penis as well, and his body parts sold off to the highest bidder as souvenirs of war.
But we know that is not the case. Whether Black men were guilty or innocent, such death was unbecoming to the civilized freedom-selling Americans of antiquity. Or was it?
What about a woman? What heinous act must she commit to warrant the brutalization of her most intimate parts, the burning of her innermost private organ, and the breaking of her neck at the noose? Must she kidnap white children? Feed them to wolves and bears? Must she dash the brains of white babes on rocks, laughing through it all? Must she poison the food of her employer, her white employer?
We know none of these were the case. We know now, certainly, that many white Americans sought to kill these innocent Black women simply because they dared to stand against the inhumanity of racial terror and the grotesque murder of their fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons. They spoke and their words were enough. They stood and their stand was offensive enough. They dared not cover their faces in fear, their deviant rage visible to all, and that was enough to have a rope wrung around their necks and pulled until their thriving bodies went limb.
What of the children? The little black boys and black girls whose bodies were rattled with bullets and thrown into fire pits. What evil must children commit to deserve such a death? Must they have burned down a church filled with white people? Perhaps they burned down a school where only white children are matriculated? Must they, perhaps, in a moment of hyper-awareness, understanding their plight in America, have stood up to white bullies who spat at them, beat them, kicked them, and called them all sorts of names? Standing up to bullies can be a deadly business, you know.
We know, however, that none of that was ever the case. Black boys and girls were but fodder for the blaze governing these marauding lynch mobs. Their mere presence in the wave of violence was enough to have their little bodies lifted from the floor by dozens of madmen and thrust into fire pits alive. Some were kicked in the head until they seized and squirmed about, concussed and convulsing from a swelling and bleeding brain.
Terror. Terror. Terror is all we see and for what? Why?
What plagues me, yes, is the lifeless corpses that hang from trees, lampposts, and street signs. Their testimony is in their blood, screaming at us to remember them, remember their lives, and remember their final moments.
But what haunts me is the gladness, glibness, and supercilious look on faces stung by sunlight yet unaffected by cruelty.
People wonder not only what happened to the Jews who survived the holocaust, what their horror stories are or were. They wonder if any of them held on to hope of escape from those hellish camps or, in light of their situation, some wonder if the Jews had learned to live with pessimism, selfishness, and death. Many speculate what starvation did to their bodies whereas others wrote about the pangs of hunger extensively after the war. We have pictures, evidence, really, of what strategic starvation did to the bodies of the Jews in those camps. In some cases it looked like some of them had been starved of their very souls as the light of life in their eyes had disappeared a long time ago while their corpses walked about like gloves without hands to move them.
But fewer wonder about the ensuing life of Nazi camp leaders, soldiers, nurses, and administrators. The ones who were not immediately executed by liberating forces, the ones who were not tried and executed by allied tribunals, nor arrested and given life sentences after the war.
Why aren't there as many books, movies, and plays about Nazi family men and women who worked for the Nazi menace by day and functioned as regular members of a civilized society by night and how they continued to shape German society after the war? We understand why.
Nazism was seen as a global menace, a sickness in the heart of Germany, a disease that festered and killed in Europe and beyond in the name of a racial superiority myth.
High ranking nazis were not given the primacy they had at the peak of the regime once the war was over. They were not returned to positions of influence, hyper leadership without supervision, and culture and policy formation in the presence of surviving Jews.
No. No.
They were forced into hiding. The most culpable ones who fled authorities and survived the preying eyes of Mossad kept their lives and livelihoods in absolute secrecy for the remainder of their lives, some only being found and tried as war criminals well into their 90s.
But in America.
In America, white supremacy never understood its cancerous root, its insidious nature in consuming its beholder.
In America, once the dust settled after the American Civil War the same men who set off to war for their right to own Black people came home, ashamed, broke, tortured by PTSD, and aware that their cash cows, namely, slaves, were now either gone for good or walking the streets jubilant and free.
These pardoned criminals, inciters of violence, insurrectionists, were home and still battle ready, battle weary, and battle prone. Having lost to a national force prepared for battle they now turned their hate and ire toward a dispersed and disarmed and unprepared under caste of freedmen and women whose only crime was being born black in a white world.
The same ambushing tactics used on the battlefield against Union soldiers were now used against innocent churchgoers as they left Sunday morning service. Hooded men went about razing homes to the ground, scorched earth theory in full swing, searching and destroying their enemy wherever he or she could be found, awake or asleep, armed or disarmed, combatant or unaware, they were cut down, mowed down, from dawn to dusk, their blood painting American soil for the world to see.
Confederate soldiers found little resistance and used that to their advantage to make their world not only theirs, again, but theirs with vengeance.
White supremacists would murder and pillage and then return to their positions in society as bankers, tellers, doctors, bailiffs, judges, officers, ministers, treasurers, milkmen, newspaper delivery men, farmers, mechanics, and homeless vagabonds who wandered to and fro without care for life or consequence.
Many hid their faces at first, presuming their crimes against innocent people would invite the ire and judgment of other Americans but upon a successful White Redemption, the restoration of White Rule allowed them to remove the hoods and commit their crimes for all to see with impunity.
Therefore we have, now, these proud men and women who gaze at us and we at them, both wandering about each other.
They wonder just how many Americans will see their masterpiece and we wonder how could such good law-abiding citizens commit such horrors?
What haunts me and horrifies me is that these people, at least the ones in the main picture have lived long enough to influence much of how our society is today.
We do not have pictures of Nazis hanging Jews after the war and then returning to positions of power.
But in America that is exactly the case.
Youths holding signs shouting about segregation now, tomorrow, and forever.
Youths and parents shouting at Black kids as they integrate previously segregated schools. Spitting on them with the crowds' support.
Where do we believe these people are today? Where has their ire gone? Has it dissolved over the years or has their overt behavior become internalized as they hide their true motives, masking their true sentiments in the face of a world that sees their vitriol as insidious and damnable?
I mean, really.
Where have all the nasty racists gone? The ones who spat at Black people, shot at them, kicked them, and sentenced them to death either in the field or on the electric chair?
Where have they gone?
Have they vanished? If so, when exactly?
Was it when black and white photos took on color? Was it perhaps when Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated? Was it perhaps somewhere between the 1970s and 1980s? What in those two decades would've been enough to turn them from decades-long hatred?
If they had been in their teens during the 1950s and 1960s, fuming at the sight of Black enfranchisement and Black humanization, then just how much influence could they have had over society since then through overt and covert racist acts, policies, laws, and cultural formation?
Let's work the math here. If someone had been 17 in 1950, old enough to spit at uppity negroes, and old enough to terrorize them, I must ask, where did all that hatred go?
Think about it. Just how much damage has covert racism done to America in the years after the Civil Rights era? Did Klansmen just have a change of heart? Did they just wake up one day, walk to their closet, grab their white robes and hoods of terror, lead their family to the backyard, light a bonfire, and set their suits of terror ablaze before them all? How many stories are there of Klansmen burning their robes? How many family histories are there of Klansmen denouncing their white supremacy before their family members, wives, kids, and community members?
Now, consider if that 17-year-old were 17 in 1960!
Listen, I'm not saying your granddad and grandma were Klans-folk, hey, if you're from Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois, there's a very good chance that granddad was a Klansman and an even higher chance than that that your great-grandfather was a Klansman in the 1920s since it was then that the Klans membership exceeded anywhere between 10–20 million in America. That number peaked in 1926. So, if great-granddad was in his teens and twenties in the 1920s he might've been a Klansman, considering the population of America then was 117 million. So, 10% of you white Americans reading this post have a Klansman in the family. Violent or not, that family member dawned the robes of white tyranny to promote white power.
Think about it. Think about it thoroughly.
Returning to our rage-filled youths of the 1950s and 1960s, it's now 2022, and if our 17 had been 17 in 1950 he or she would be 89 today.
Had they been 17 in 1960 they'd be 79 today.
You're looking at your grandparents and thinking… where did all that racism go? Where did all that spitting, slicing, dicing, and rage go? Did it reach a point of appeasement? Were enough Black kids and youth and adults harassed over the years that their wrath was appeased? Were they satisfied when the Klan handed the baton over to the police? Was it when lynchings turned into mass incarceration? When white rule became color-blind rule that disproportionately affects people of color? Namely, Black Americans?
I mean, think about it.
Just how much influence do you believe these people, the hateful ones, have had over the formation of our society until they had a redemptive change of heart? Just how many corporate entities have they influenced into not hiring Black or colored people over the decades? How many police departments do you believe have been influenced to target Black men and women over white people who committed the same crimes? How many judges do you believe were influenced by these sickly racist thoughts and ideas about Black inferiority and white superiority in the eyes of the law? How many life sentences or death sentences do you believe were dropped on the soldiers of Black folk over the decades as a result, not directly of the crimes committed by Black Americans but direct result of racial bias?
How many communities were constructed over these decades by these hate-filled people, shaped, and structured to oust Black Americans, and thwart their financial and residential advancement? How many of them became legally segregated and culturally white and "sanitized" environments for white people only?
If you don't believe that's the case then how you do explain exclusively white neighborhoods? Did they just happen that way? Randomly in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s? Do you honestly believe that?
How many churches, seminaries, and religious institutions were influenced to demand the stoppage of racial intermingling, dating, and marrying of people of the same faith as a result of racial bias?
Just how many political ideas, institutions, and policies were written, passed, ratified, and celebrated by these hate-filled youths who made their livelihoods in politics for decades later?
Now… you're probably thinking they have all but died, the worse of them, of course. That's what we like to believe. That's what we want to believe. We want to know that these people, these kids in these pictures, deriding, maligning, mocking, and harassing Black people, again, and again have all died and disappeared, along with Klan robes, hanging Black bodies, and the evil of America's long forgotten past.
But the truth is that granddad and grandma may have internalized their hatred.
Worse yet is that many of them passed on their hatred of minorities to your parents, their children, albeit in more sanitized ways.
Instead of saying, "We used to hang those uppity negroes." They said, "We don't affiliate with their kind."
Instead of saying, "Back in my days we would light their house on fire to teach them who's boss." They said, "You see how Blacks are just prone to criminal behavior?"
And your parents, having been victims of such covert vitriol and hate, albeit sanitized, passed the same racism on to you, in an even more sanitized vernacular, removed of its racist overtones to appease white racists in a mythical color-blind America.
So now you and others hear:
"How come African Americans make up only 13% of the American population but they commit more than 50% of the country's crimes?"
"If he hadn't been in the car with those hoodlums he wouldn't have been shot by that cop."
"Why was he playing with a toy gun in the middle of a playground? That kid was asking for trouble."
"We don't want illegals in our country. They bring disease, drugs, and crime. They're rapists. Just send them back wherever they came from."
"Speak English! This is America!"
"Fatherless is the number one problem in African American communities. No, no, I'm not racist because I have a Black friend."
The ire is sanitized more and more with every generation because simply calling a Black man a nigger is no longer a socially viable behavior and demanding his lynching publicly is sure enough to make one lose their job.
Therefore, people now call Black American youths super-predators or thugs or hoodlums, and instead of publicly calling for their lynching they simply call the police who show up and shot the lucky ones dead on the spot, and the unlucky ones are tortured, beaten, asphyxiated to death.
The ones who survived the police lynching are taken to court months or years later where they are metaphorically lynched and raped by racially biased judges and dehumanized by prison wardens who find financial and sexual gratification from incarcerating scores of Black men, women, and youths, thus recreating the under caste of antiquity today.
The reason, I find, that their faces haunt us still is because they're still here, influencing us to this day. Their ire, their hate, their vitriol, and their racism are still here.
They just made their kids and grandkids believe the myth of color-blindness, the mythical progress of racial reconciliation, the supposed "nonsense" and the financially irresponsible idea of reparations, the wastefulness and unAmerican effort to teach American children about the realities of slavery, white Rule, white Redemption, Jim Crow, Native American genocidal wars that were more effective and successful than the Nazi regime's war on Jews, anti-Chinese immigration acts, and the vile, unpatriotic nature of critical race theory.
Also, mention the term "woke" and they'll feign a heart attack whilst calling you or anyone who uses the term a communist, radical socialist leftist. Just don't ask them to define any of these terms.
Lastly, these visages of white terror and white rage grew up, influenced politics, and voted in an orange man who hated immigrants, is a serial adulterer, and whose father was arrested at a Klan rally in the 1920s.
I mean… come on, folks.
Last note.
These ghosts are hugging our grandkids, some of them mixed grandkids. There's hope for change but that must not happen without accountability.
Hate must not live and die unchallenged.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. — Proverbs 31:8 NLT

It is not surprising to know that in the initial phases of every proposed construction project, it is the first task of the Construction Manager (CM), along with other trained professionals such as the Architect and/or Engineer of record, to develop projected cost budgets. These are the anticipated costs the project will generate, including such items as labor, material and equipment expenses. Obviously, without such cost estimates, the Homeowner Association (HOA) would have no significant way of knowing if they have the resources to adequately fund the project.
In order to develop the most accurate cost estimates possible, the CM will utilize a two step approach; first a constructabiliy / feasibility review, second, the bidding process.
In the constructability / feasibility review, the CM, utilizing "industry average" values for most expense items, and develops generic costs for the project. These costs, set as a benchmark, are provided to the HOA to determine initially whether the scope of work, as first contemplated, is within their financial means of the community. If the budget is feasible, then hard costs can be solicited from the competing contractors . If not, then the CM would have to "Value Engineer", or reassess the scope of work, materials and methods of the project in order to reduce the projected costs and bring the project scope of work into an area that the HOA can afford.
Building on the estimated costs of the constructability / feasibility review, in the bidding phase, the CM will attempt to enhance the cost projections by putting the final project scope of work out to bid. To ensure that the costs provided by the bidding contractors are relatively accurate, the CM will develop specifications for the project, which define, with great detail, what scope of work will be performed, in what manner, and with what acceptable materials. Each prospective contractor bidding on the project will have an opportunity to review the specifications, perform an onsite evaluation walkthrough, and generate their own estimated costs to perform the construction according to the specification's guidelines. The selected bid will later become the fee structure of the Contractor awarded the project.
In both the constructability review and bidding phases, there is always one aspect of the cost calculation process, which can give rise to confusion on the part of the HOA – the "Unforeseen Conditions" line item. Industry wide, this is the flat ten to fifteen percent charge added to the end value of every bid and constructability review / feasibility study figure. The comments from the Board vary in tone, but all seem to highlight one general theme: why should we budget a blank check line item for the contractor when we pay you to develop accurate and complete specifications and cost projections?
The answer is simple…there is no such thing as an accurate and complete cost projection.
Jurisdictional fees and prerequisites: Most of the local building departments, those infamous governmental agencies which approve construction projects and issue permits, have steadily and stealthily increased their permit costs. Unfortunately, uniformity in building department permit fees is not the norm. For example, in a review of 15 California building departments in October of 2012, all had raised their rates significantly from recent years, and most had new or revised approval prerequisites. Prerequisites ranged from the number of visits by an inspector necessary to issue a final Certificate of Completion of the project, to what tools had to be on hand when the inspector arrived in order to facilitate the inspection. Not suprisingly, when questioned individually, different personnel in the same building department had different prerequisites for identical construction projects. Such confusion and increased costs have lead to an unforeseen condition of time and fee expenses that cannot be accurately measured by contractors or consultants.
Decay/Dry rot: Both the constructability / feasibility review and bidding documentation discussed herein base their projected costs on a visual inspection and review of existing conditions. Obviously, with few exceptions, there is no way for the CM or the bidding contractor to know what lies within building cavities when they develop the original cost projections. Only when opening up these areas does the true nature of decay or mold come to light (pun intended!). Consequently, it is not suprising to have a contractor submit change orders subsequent to initial demolition, once the first building tear off has begun. Significant decay leads to significant additional costs. By contractor's state law it is the responsibility of the contractor to remove and replace such decayed material, and it is the responsibility of the HOA to pay for it.
Existing Conditions: Like decay, existing building conditions also may not be identifiable until the building structure is open. No one knows if the original construction was built according to the plans and blueprints, building code, and/or standards of workmanship applicable at that time. Notwithstanding, the repair methods developed in the current specifications, which the potential contractors use in establishing their bids, assume that all the existing construction was built according to the plans and the code which was in effect at the time of original construction. Consequently, if there was a deviation from the code, the condition would need to be remedied as an unforeseen condition.
Granted, in cases of reconstruction instigated by litigation, repair schedules developed by experts in the field of forensic testing could mitigate the unforeseen condition, but those schedules do not evaluate every unit in every building for the same condition. The forensic evaluations perform "statistical sampling" of a random number of locations (traditionally 10% of the HOA complex). Thus, there is usually no possible way of realizing exactly how many locations throughout the project have an existing condition which fails to meet building codes, until each and every location has been opened.
Hazardous Materials: Some older multi-unit residential construction projects may be infested with hazardous materials, most notably asbestos, lead paint or molds/fungus. Under traditional circumstances, these conditions may not affect the construction project and thus are not traditionally included in the original cost projections. For example, if the asbestos were in the ceilings of the units whose roofs are currently being re-roofed, then the only impact on the project would occur should a roofer fall through the roof and damage the ceiling. Understandably, there is no way to estimate how many times a roofer's employees would fall through roofs throughout the life of the project! On the other hand, should the asbestos be in the existing roofing material, which the contractor would be removing, and replacing, then the initial budgets should include the remediation cost of removal and disposal of the asbestos.
Homeowner Scheduling: It is difficult for the CM to know the attitude of the individual homeowners toward the work being proposed. Depending on the HOA membership, access issues generate many additional hours for the CM and contractor. When unit owners fail to allow accessibility to their unit for construction personnel to work on the facility, or when unit owners fail to follow post construction policies such as limited usage of certain areas of the unit where material is not dry, the costs mount quickly.
To mitigate project expense, the CM, HOA Board and contractor meet at the inception of each project to develop a schedule for construction, identifying which buildings will be worked on in a particular order to maximize efficiency during the life of the project. Equipment trailers are parked at one location and employees are dispersed based on the schedule. Preliminary notices are distributed to designated units and buildings, by both the CM and contractor several weeks before the work commences. The notices state what work will be commenced at each unit, the commencement day, and the term period of construction at each unit. The notices further state that it is the responsibility of the homeowners to have their units ready for construction (either interior or exterior work), including, having all furniture moved to a safe and secure distance away from the construction area, having all valuable items removed and stored in a secure location, and having all pets confined. If the contractor fails to find the unit in such a prepared condition, delays occur, as the work at that unit must be rescheduled and the construction schedule revised. Likewise, when certain unit owners fail to allow access because they disagree with the HOA's ultimate construction goals, or they fail to divulge prior vacation or other long absentee periods during the project period, the contractor is forced to revise the project schedule. Remobilization of the crew and equipment trailers to other locations on a weekly, if not daily basis, leads to change orders and additional costs.
Damaged Items: At the termination of the project, some unit owners may file expense reimbursement charges with the HOA for personal items that were damaged as a result of the construction. While the contractor, based on his liability for their damage, reimburses some items, many items are not, and are thus left for the HOA to determine ultimate liability and compensate members. Obviously, most contractors will not reimburse for items that were the responsibility of the unit owner to store, secure or remove from the premises prior to construction, which are subsequently damaged or destroyed. Resolution of such claims adds both time and money to the project budget.
Not surprisingly, the above list is not exhaustive. While many hours are spent in the pre-construction phase to develop accurate cost representations, it is impossible to determine all variable costs that will impact the bottom-line. In this regard, construction is more an art than a science, and contingency costs for "Unforeseen Conditions" are a necessary evil that must exist in order to allow an HOA to adequately fund needed projects. Without such a contingency, the greatest delay possible would regularly occur - the inability of the HOA to adequately finance the project from inception to completion, thus forcing suspension of the work!

Public Health And National Reconstruction In Post War Asia Book Description
by Liping Bu, Public Health And National Reconstruction In Post War Asia Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Public Health And National Reconstruction In Post War Asia books, This book, based on extensive original research, considers the transformation of public health systems in major East, South and Southeast Asian countries in the period following the Second World War. It examines how public health concepts, policies, institutions and practices were improved, shows how international health standards were implemented, sometimes through the direct intervention of transnational organisations, and explores how indigenous traditions and local social and cultural concerns affected developments, with, in some cases, the construction of public health systems forming an important part of nation-building in post-war and post-independence countries. Throughout, the book relates developments in public health systems to people's health, demographic changes, and economic and social reconstruction projects.

Science Public Health And Nation Building In Soekarno Era Indonesia Book Description
by Vivek Neelakantan, Science Public Health And Nation Building In Soekarno Era Indonesia Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Science Public Health And Nation Building In Soekarno Era Indonesia books, In 1949, the newly-independent Indonesia inherited a health system that was devastated by three-and-a-half years of Japanese occupation and four years of revolutionary struggle against the Dutch. Additionally, the country had to cope with the resurgence of epidemic and endemic diseases. The Ministry of Health had initiated a number of symbolic public health initiatives – both during the Indonesian Revolution (1945 to 1949) and the early 1950s – resulting in a noticeable decline of mortality. These initiatives fuelled the newly-independent nation's confidence because they demonstrated to the international community that Indonesia was capable of standing on its own feet. Unfortunately, by the mid-1950s, Indonesia's public health program faltered due to a constellation of factors attributed to the political tensions between Java and the Outer Islands, administrative problems, corruption, and rampant inflation. The optimism that characterised the early years of independence gave way to despair. The Soekarno era could, therefore, be interpreted as the era of bold plans but unfulfilled aspirations in Indonesian public health. Based on extensive archival research and a close reading of Indonesian primary sources, this book provides a nuanced account of the inner tensions in Indonesian public health during the twentieth century – between a narrow biomedical approach that emphasised disease eradication, and a holistic approach that linked public health to practical concerns of nation-building.

Download Health Policy And Disease In Colonial And Post Colonial Hong Kong 1841 2003 books, Besides looking at major outbreaks of diseases and how they were coped with, diseases such as malaria, smallpox, tuberculosis, plague, venereal disease, avian flu and SARS, this book also examines how the successive government regimes in Hong Kong took action to prevent diseases and control potential threats to health. It shows how policies impacted the various Chinese and non-Chinese groups, and how policies were often formulated as a result of negotiations between these different groups. By considering developments over a long historical period, the book contrasts the different approaches in the periods of colonial rule, Japanese occupation, post-war reconstruction, transition to decolonization, and Hong Kong as Special Administrative Region within the People's Republic of China.

by Liping Bu, Public Health And The Modernization Of China 1865 2015 Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Public Health And The Modernization Of China 1865 2015 books, This book, based on extensive original research, traces the development of China's public health system, showing how advances in public health have been an integral part of China's rise. It outlines the phenomenal improvements in public health, for example the increase in life expectancy from 38 in 1949 to 73 in 2010; relates developments in public health to prevailing political ideologies; and discusses how the drivers of health improvements were, unlike in the West, modern medical professionals and intellectuals who understood that, whatever the prevailing ideology, China needs to be a strong country. The book explores how public health concepts, policies, programmes, institutions and practices changed and developed through social and political upheavals, war, and famine, and argues that this perspective of China's development is refreshingly different from China's development viewed purely in political terms.

The State Of The Environment In Asia Book Description
by The Japan Environmental Council, The State Of The Environment In Asia Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The State Of The Environment In Asia books, In December 1977 we published the first in this series of NGO-oriented reports on Asia's environment, Ajia Kankyo Hakusho 1997/98. This was published in English by Springer-Verlag as The State o/the Environment in Asia 1999/2000. Although only a few years have passed since then, Asia has seen tumultuous changes in the political, economic, social, environmental, and other domains, as well as a number of prominerit trends that could be regarded as harbingers of the new century. China, for instance, could henceforth decisively affect the evolution of environmental problems not only in Asia, but across the entire globe. Yet Chinese concern for and initiatives on pollution and environmental damage have increased more quickly than could have been anticipated just a few years ago. And on Taiwan, where a Democratic Progressive Party president was elected over the long-ruling Nationalist Party, an attorney who has cooperated with our pollution surveys for a decade, Hsieh Chang-ting, became mayor of Taiwan's largest heavy and chemical industry city of Kaohsiung, where he has begun a "Green Revolution. " On the Ko rean Peninsula, which has for many years endured the division of its people, as well as political and military tensions, there are the beginnings of a new North-South dialog. These changes are all welcome to those of us who wish to see new advances in environmental cooperation throughout Asia.

The Oxfam Poverty Report Book Description
by Kevin Watkins, The Oxfam Poverty Report Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Oxfam Poverty Report books, Fifty years ago, the United Nations Charter proclaimed universal rights to shared prosperity, peace, and security. How far has that vision of world citizenship been realised? Despite advances in human welfare and technology, there is today a growing polarisation between rich and poor. One in four of the world's people live in absolute poverty, unable to meet their basic needs; armed conflict is affecting millions of people; and the global environment is under threat. Yet there is a failure of political will to address the silent emergency of poverty. The Oxfam Poverty Report draws on Oxfam's experience of working in over 70 countries, to examine the causes of poverty and conflict. It identifies the structural forces which deny people their basic rights, and gives a wide range of examples of the ways in which men and women are bringing about positive change at every level, from the household to the international arena. Oxfam believes that it is time to renew the UN vision of universal basic rights. The Report concludes by proposing policy and institutional reforms which would transform international institutions and trading relations, and calls for a new commitment to work together to eradicate poverty and bring sustainable peace and security for all the world's people.

Happy New Year! Now that I'm a true resident in the South (though Tampa Bay Florida just doesn't seem very south-ishy to me) I figured it was a fine time to start celebrating some of the southern food traditions, like enjoying Black Eyed Peas with Ham and Greens for New Years.
Another tradition that I've heard is to add a shiny new penny (but wash it first!) to the pot and whoever gets the penny in their bowl will have massive good fortune. For me, the fear that I'd accidentally choke on a penny while slurpin' down my stew is just too much. I'll pass on that one.
My friend, John of Food Wishes has a great recipe for Black Eyed Peas with Ham and Greens, so I thought I'd share with you his version with the addition of smoked ham hocks. My version is also a little more "soupier" than his – I didn't add the entire bag of peas.
I didn't have the time to soak the beans (by the way, black eyed peas are really beans, not peas) overnight, so I've shared with you my quick-soak version, which only takes 1 hour and boiling water.
Enjoy the recipe and may you have a prosperous, healthy and joyful new year!
For the quick-soak method, place the beans in a pot, cover with water and bring to rolling boil. Turn off heat and let the beans soak for 1 hour. Drain.
I like buying a big 'ol ham. That way, I've got the ham bone and meat for the recipe, plus a ton more that I will use for sandwiches and snackin' on. You are getting so much more for your money! Freeze what you can't use. John uses pork neck bone instead of the ham bone.
For the recipe, I've got kale (you can use turnip greens or collard greens, but I love the vivid color of kale), smoked ham hocks, carrots, celery, onion, tomato, garlic, diced ham and ham bone.
We'll saute the onion, celery, carrots in olive oil for a few minutes, then throw in the garlic for another couple of minutes.
Then add the ham bone and ham hocks.
Add the beans and pour in the water. Simmer for about an hour.
After an hour, it's time to add the diced ham and tomatoes. Let that simmer for another 30-40 minutes.
After the ham and tomatoes are in, you can take out the ham bone and the ham hocks. Give them to your favorite dog.
The last step is to add the kale leaves in — but before you add them in, you need to tear the tender leaves off the tough stem. Here I've got a kitchen helper.
Just rip 'em off the stem and discard the stem.
Add the leaves to the pot, just push 'em in there. If you're using collard or turnip greens, you might want to add them the same time as the ham/tomatoes. I like kale leaves because they don't require much cooking and retain their bright, vivid green color.
Kale leaves cook for an additional 10 minutes.
And it's done! Taste and then season with salt.
1. Rinse the black eyed peas, pick through and discard anything that's not-bean. Soak in water overnight or place in pot with water, bring to rolling boil. Turn off heat and let sit in hot water for 1 hour. Drain, discard water.
2. In large, wide stockpot, heat olive oil. Saute carrots, celery, onion on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes. Take care not to burn the vegetables. Add the garlic and saute additional 2 minutes. Add the ham bone, hocks, drained beans and water to the pot. Simmer for 1 hour.

Q: Eclipse Moonrise console background I am not sure if I am the only one with this problem but I can't seem to fix it. I am using Eclipse Kepler and Moonrise Standalone (dark) theme.
The problem is with the console window which has dark font on dark background. I've tried to change the colors under Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Console to no avail.

The funny thing is that the console has white background upon startup but changes to black as soon as I click on it. I haven't found any css file for Moonrise theme.
Is this possible to fix or am I stuck with the default white theme?

A: The issue has been (finally!) resolved. The console color scheme can be changed under Preferences->C/C++->Build->Console, if you're using CDT of course.

A: Go to Preference -> Run/Debug -> Console  then change "standard out text color".


In 2015, leaders of 193 countries formed an ambitious plan to guide global development action for the next 15 years by agreeing on a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Four years after their launch, the World Bank's expertise in development data and its large repository of development indicators has played an important role in helping track progress made towards the achievement of the SDGs.
How does SDG monitoring work and how is the World Bank involved?
To monitor the 17 goals and 169 associated targets, a framework of 230+ indicators was developed by the Inter-agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs), a group of UN Member States with international agencies as observers. Different international agencies were assigned as "custodians" of the SDG targets. In this capacity, the custodian agencies work with national statistical offices to develop methodologies for indicators to measure progress on the SDGs. The agencies also work with countries to compile data for SDG indicators, which they submit to the UN Statistics Global SDG database.
The World Bank participates in IAEG-SDGs as an observer and is a custodian or co-custodian (with other agencies) for 20 indicators, and is involved in the development and monitoring of an additional 22 indicators. Altogether, the World Bank is formally engaged with the monitoring of 42 of the 230+ indicators. The indicators cover a wider range of topics in which the World Bank has expertise, including poverty and inequality, social protection, gender equality, financial access, remittances, health, energy, infrastructure, and so on.
The World Bank's own goals align closely with the SDGs, as does its organizational structure by thematic group. Notably, the poverty and inequality related SDG targets 1.1 and 10.1 are directly linked to the Bank's twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity in a sustainable and inclusive manner. And many of the 17 SDGs are directly in line with the work of many of World Bank's thematic groups, for example, Health (SDG 3), Education (SDG 4), Water (SDG 6), Energy (SDG 7), Climate Change (SDG 13).
The World Bank's SDG Indicators Group, comprising subject matter experts across different thematic groups, provides technical input to the IAEG-SDGs and reports the indicator estimates for which the institution is responsible. Members of this group have worked with other agencies and countries (national statistical offices and relevant ministries) to develop methodologies for SDG indicators and to facilitate reporting. A major goal of the SDG Indicators Group is to improve the data quality of these indicators.
How does the World Bank work to improve data quality for SDG indicators?
The members of the IAEG-SDGs recognize that data availability and quality are pivotal to understanding and addressing the gaps in achieving the SDGs. Therefore, the SDG agenda also outlines a classification system to monitor progress of availability and quality of data for SDG indicators.
As per this system, SDG indicators are classified into three tiers: Tier 1 indicators are those with an established methodology and good data coverage, Tier 2 have an established methodology but lack good data coverage, and Tier 3 indicators currently lack both sound method and adequate data. The tier classifications for indicators keep changing as methodologies are developed and data availability increases. As of December 31, 2018, the tier classification contains 101 Tier 1 indicators, 84 Tier 2 indicators and 41 Tier 3 indicators. In addition to these, there are 6 indicators that belong to multiple tiers as different components of the indicator are classified under different tiers.
Of the 20 indicators for which the Bank is custodian or co-custodian (and therefore directly responsible for) 8 are Tier 1, 11 are Tier 2 and 1 is a Tier 3 indicator. Over the two past years, 8 indicators have moved up from Tier 3 to Tier 2.
For example, indicator 3.8.2 related to the financial protection dimension of universal health coverage (UHC) became a Tier 2 indicator in October 2017 during the bi-annual IAEG-SDG meeting. The World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO) had advocated for this indicator's inclusion in the SDG framework along with indicator 3.8.1 on coverage of essential health care services, arguing that meaningful universal health coverage (UHC) means that all people can obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship. As a result, the World Bank's Health and Nutrition Practice and Development Research Group worked with the World Health Organization to develop a methodology and produce data on an indicator capturing "out-of-pocket" health spending relative to households' total budget; if such spending were too high, it could force some families to choose between health and other essentials like food and education. Eventually, as data availability increased, the indicator moved to Tier 1 in November 2018.
For indicator 10.c.1 on the cost of sending remittances, the path from Tier 3 to Tier 2 status was easier. The methodology was already developed by World Bank's Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation Practice and data was available for over 100 countries. Thus, the work was more focused on presenting and convincing the IAEG-SDGs that the methodology was in fact sound and that there was more data available than previously thought. As a result, this indicator moved to Tier 2 in October 2017 as well.
Typically, data availability for indicators has been improving over time. At the same time, challenges remain in producing data. For example, indicator 10.1.1, related to the Bank's shared prosperity goal, looks at growth in household income / consumption for which data is produced by the Poverty Global Practice of the Bank. This indicator requires two comparable household surveys over a few years. Availability of this indicator depends on household surveys being carried out in a timely manner in countries. As of 2018, data for growth in household income is available for 91 economies. However, the unpredictability in survey implementations has resulted in this indicator fluctuating between Tier 1 and Tier 2 status.
How does the Bank showcase the SDGs?
The World Bank's premier data compilation, the World Development Indicators, takes a comprehensive view of the world, presenting over 1500 indicators relevant to development. It includes many of the official SDG indicators as well as other data that are relevant to SDGs.
Experts across the Bank not only work with countries on specific indicators for SDG monitoring, but also support the broader agenda for improving development data be it through financing and technical assistance for implementing surveys and improving statistical systems, exploring new technologies such as the use of big data, or improving the use and understanding of data through data literacy programs.
In May 2018, the UN and the Bank Group signed a Strategic Partnership Framework that underscored our joint commitment to work together in helping countries implement the 2030 Agenda. The framework, includes four key areas of cooperation: (i) finance and implementation support to help countries reach the SDGs; (ii) decisive global action on climate change; (iii) joint work in post-crisis and humanitarian settings; and (iv) harnessing data to improve development outcomes.
In this blog, we've covered one aspect related to the area of data—SDG monitoring—but this is only one of the tracks to support the 2030 Agenda. in all four areas of cooperation, the Bank's contributions have helped outline and implement policies and actions that are critical for the realization of the SDGs. Find out more about how the WBG is helping implement the 2030 agenda here.
Thank you very much. This document is quite informative. I really appreciate this.


It not a thing of surprise that the people of Abeokuta actually did as they had been directed in 2015 as stones were pelted at President Buhari, Tinubu and Oshimole.
Luckily for President Muhammadu Buhari he wasn't hit by the stone as he was adequately shielded by security operatives but Oshimole had a fair share of the stones.
This disrupted the rally for some minutes.
The violence started when Oshimole was invited to give his speech, and the people started to throw stones at him and a stone was targeted at the president but the security personal took the blow for him.
The development angered top leaders of the party and they let the podium while the President was making his remarks.
"The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State boiled over today (Monday) when protests by party members marred the presidential campaign rally as party members booed the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, former Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Raufu Aregbesola and Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign, Rotimi Amaechi. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the first time in the APC Presidential campaign, declined to make a speech at the event as he exited the venue through the backdoor as President Muhammadu Buhari made his speech.
The Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Rotimi Amaechi in his opening remarks remarked that the rally was an APC campaign, a note that was received with a resounding shout of "no"," no" from the stands.

In a show of support for part-time faculty, the CFT committed this year to completing the first phase of a substantial study of part-time faculty compensation that may prove invaluable to those seeking stronger contract language for part-time instructors.
Initiated by the CFT Part-Time Committee, the compilation of data on part-time salaries has been a complicated task, since methods of calculating compensation, length of academic term, and other factors can vary so dramatically among colleges throughout the state. This first phase of the project, completed by the CFT Research Department, will be released once participating locals have had the opportunity to verify the data.
According to Part-Time Committee Co-Chair John Govsky, this is an exciting project, as it will afford part-time faculty advocates a tool with which to compare pay rates and schedules.
When finished, the document will offer the following information: how much per hour part-time faculty earn at various points on their institution's salary schedule, whether their pay rate reflects the level of education attained, the number of steps and columns on the salary schedule, and the rate at which faculty can advance along the schedule. Lastly, the study will provide information about compensation for part-time faculty who hold office hours.
