This paper investigates the role of the linear analysis step of the ensemble Kalman filters (EnKF) in disrupting the balanced dynamics in a simple atmospheric model and compares it to a fully nonlinear particle-based filter (PF). The filters have a very similar forecast step but the analysis step of the PF solves the full Bayesian filtering problem while the EnKF analysis only applies to Gaussian distributions. The EnKF is compared to two flavors of the particle filter with different sampling strategies, the sequential importance resampling filter (SIRF) and the sequential kernel resampling filter (SKRF). The model admits a chaotic vortical mode coupled to a comparatively fast gravity wave mode. It can also be configured either to evolve on a so-called slow manifold, where the fast motion is suppressed, or such that the fast-varying variables are diagnosed from the slow-varying variables as slaved modes. Identical twin experiments show that EnKF and PF capture the variables on the slow manifold well as the dynamics is very stable. PFs, especially the SKRF, capture slaved modes better than the EnKF, implying that a full Bayesian analysis estimates the nonlinear model variables better. The PFs perform significantly better in the fully coupled nonlinear model where fast and slow variables modulate each other. This suggests that the analysis step in the PFs maintains the balance in both variables much better than the EnKF. It is also shown that increasing the ensemble size generally improves the performance of the PFs but has less impact on the EnKF after a sufficient number of members have been used.

The largest climate anomaly of the last 1000 years in the Northern Hemisphere was the Little Ice Age (LIA) from 1400-1850 C. E., but little is known about the signature of this event in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. We present temperature data from a 300 m borehole at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide. Results show that WAIS Divide was colder than the last 1000-year average from 1300 to 1800 C.E. The temperature in the time period 1400-1800 C.E. was on average 0.52 +/- 0.28 degrees C colder than the last 100-year average. This amplitude is about half of that seen at Greenland Summit (GRIP). This result is consistent with the idea that the LIA was a global event, probably caused by a change in solar and volcanic forcing, and was not simply a seesaw-type redistribution of heat between the hemispheres as would be predicted by some ocean-circulation hypotheses. The difference in the magnitude of the LIA between Greenland and West Antarctica suggests that the feedbacks amplifying the radiative forcing may not operate in the same way in both regions.

Vertical travel-time sensitivity kernels (VTSKs) describe the effect of horizontally uniform sound-speed changes on travel times in range-independent ocean environments. Wave-theoretic VTSKs can be obtained either analytically, through perturbation of the normal-mode representation, or numerically, as horizontal marginals of the corresponding two-dimensional and three-dimensional travel-time sensitivity kernels. In previous works, it has been observed that wave-theoretic finite-frequency VTSKs approach the corresponding ray-theoretic sensitivity kernels as the propagation range increases. The present work is an attempt to explain this behavior. A stationary-phase approach is used to obtain a long-range asymptotic expression for the wave-theoretic VTSKs. The resulting asymptotic VTSKs are very close to the corresponding ray-theoretic ones. The smoothness condition, required for the stationary-phase approximation to hold, is used to obtain an estimate for the range beyond which the asymptotic behavior sets in.

When I set out to make grapefruit curd, I really wanted it to be pink. Not vibrantly electric pink, just a tinge. So I was super disappointed when it turned out the color of a lemon curd, just with a slightly bitter bite at the end. Delectable, but not pink. To make up for my yellow disappointment I decided to pair the curd with a cheesecake. But not just any cheesecake, goat cheese cheesecake to complement the grapefruit bitterness. And it was an Easter miracle because the cheesecakes topped with the curd looked like a fried egg!
I used Ina's curd method: pulse the sugar with the zest in a food processor, creaming the butter and sugar, adding the eggs and juice, and heating for 10 minutes to thicken, and running through a sieve for a creamy curd. Easy 20 minute process with a few hours of setting up in the fridge and no slow butter addition. You can do the double boiler (pot with boiling water and the curd in a bowl on top) but I just cook it on very low heat with my gas stove because I feel like I can control the heat. I've never had any scrambled eggs come out in the sieve this way, just an embarrassing egg shell piece (oops).
For the cheesecake, I wanted to try something different. On a whim, I googled goat cheese cheesecake and came upon Anne Burrell's recipe. Intrigued, I made a half batch to see the effect of goat cheese and sour cream. As a person who has long used mayo in her cheesecakes (Baby Nutella Cheesecakes), I don't know why I was nervous! But the end product was SO GOOD, tangy from the goat cheese, fluffy, and only a little sweet, my favorite kind of dessert.
Be sure to bring the ingredients to room temperature before beginning to ensure the fluffy texture. Made in my recently replaced cupcake pans, it makes about 16 cupcake sized cheesecakes perfect for spring and summer parties!
First, make the curd. Zest the grapefruit and process with the sugar for 2-3 minutes in your food processor.
Cream the (room temperature) butter with the zest-scented sugar, until the butter takes on a lighter color.
Add the salt and 1/2 cup grapefruit juice, quickly move to the stove and start to cook over low heat. Don't worry if it looks separated, it will come together!
Cook for ten minutes to thicken. Pour through a sieve to ensure a silky texture with no lumps.
While the curd is setting up in the fridge with plastic wrap over the surface, begin to prepare the cheesecakes by preheating the oven to 350 F. Make the crust by crushing the graham crackers with the sugar in the food processor.
Combine with salt and melted butter to get a loose crumb. Put 1 tablespoon in each cupcake liner, pat down, and bake at 350 F for 5 minutes.
While the crusts are cooling, make the cheesecake filling. Begin by whipping the cream cheese, goat cheese, and sour cream together.
Add the sugar. Then add the eggs on at a time followed by the zest, vanilla extract, and salt.
Use a large ziptop bag to mete out the cheesecake mixture, about 3/4 full in the liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 F, until the middles are just set.
Let set up in the fridge for at least 4 hours before assembling. Top with 1/2 teaspoon of the set grapefruit curd and serve. Enjoy!
These get a double swoon. First from the GOAT CHEESE cheesecakes and second from the GRAPEFRUIT curd. I can't really think of a cupcake I want more right now!

'Massive Fireball' as Plane Crashes Into Shops
'Massive Fireball' as Plane Crashes Into Shops
A light aircraft exploded Tuesday in a "massive fireball" with police saying none of the five people aboard survived as it smashed into a shopping centre near the Australian city of Melbourne.
Pilot Max Quartermain and a group of American golfers on the trip of a lifetime are among the five people killed shortly after 9am on Tuesday. The footage emerged late on Tuesday afternoon. Mr Quartermain owned Essendon-based Corporate and Leisure Aviation and had more than 38 years of flying experience. The five-person Beechcraft charter plane experienced engine failure, dipped dramatically and cartwheeled into DFO.
Before crashing, Mr Quartermain is believed to have made two mayday calls.
The twin-turboprop Beechcraft King Air plane suffered an engine failure and crashed into the mall near the end of the runway at Essendon Airport, Victoria state police assistant commissioner Stephen Leane told reporters in Melbourne. Witnesses told Australian Associated Press the plane exploded on impact.
Sky News showed burning wreckage strewn across the mall's carpark and a thick column of black smoke rising from the crash site.

The plane had been bound for King Island in Bass Strait between the mainland and the southern island state of Tasmania and Australian newspapers reported that at least two of the men were traveling to play golf on the island's famed links.
A taxi driver called ABC radio and told of the "massive fireball".
"I saw this plane… When it hit the building there was a massive fireball," said the man called Jason.
"I could feel the heat through the window of the taxi, and then a wheel – it looked like a plane wheel –bounced on the road and hit the front of the taxi as we were driving along."s
Melbourne fire brigade chief Paul Stacchino tweeted that "more than 60 firefighters have worked hard to bring the fire … under control. Crews to remain on scene for some time".

Before elections, cases to be filed against murders, fraud Featured
Before any election takes place, the Attorney General's Department will file indictments in connection with murders, fraud and corruption that were committed in the past.
Although a certain delay is claimed in the Department's functions, a top official said filing action was taking place expeditiously after a new minister was appointed.
They include white van abductions, kidnappings and assault, and the investigation reports have been sent by the CID to the AG's Dept, he said.
Accordingly, several top figures in the previous regime are to be arrested.
Top figures of the previous regime and their relatives were to be arrested over several high-profile cases, media has reported quoting a top CID official.

This promotion is valid today, Monday April 16 only.
So for an low end to average user ignore MLC vs TLC?
Also what is driving the prices on SSD lately? Glad to see it happening but wondering if I should hold off to see if there are further price drops.
Is the technology that this drive uses decent? The newer drives say 3D nand. This says MLC. What's the difference?
Short answer: MLC is expensive, old tech but longer life span. TLC is newer, cheaper but life.
Both MLC and TLC drives are about the same price.
Use a brand that has a good warranty like Intel and Samsung.
Long answer: Read this to know everything about SSD.
Last edited by aviseqdas April 16, 2018 at 07:53 AM.
Short answer: MLC is cheaper, old tech with shorter life span. TLC is newer, expensive and longer life. Yes you can find TLC drives for same price.
I'm looking at the linked page. It looks like the table at the end is saying that MLC is faster and has a longer life than TLC. Am I reading it wrong or did you reverse the names in your comment?
I reversed it. Sorry for the confusion.
It is the other way around. Generally, TLC is cheaper to manufacture but is slower and has lower endurance compared to MLC.
weird, the same deal did not get any attention last time.
dang brahs, ssds getting so cheap.
getting tempted to replace all ol' spinners..

Energy Community Secretariat submitted a Reasoned Opinion as the next step in the dispute settlement case against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for its postponement of electricity market opening.
The Director of the Energy Community Secretariat said: "Macedonia's decision to postpone full opening of the electricity market and thereby prohibiting consumers to choose their supplier is another manifestation of the current government's deliberate policy of systematically refusing to accept the country's obligations under the Energy Community Treaty and, consequently, EU law.
This trend has recently become more and more visible and manifests itself in several open breaches of Energy Community law, including among others also the non-acceptance of a binding target for renewable energy and the failure to respect Second and Third Energy Package rules in the gas sector when cooperating with Russian partners. The current problems in the energy sector mirror other problems of the country – the growing politicization of state institutions and the dramatically deteriorated political situation. What we witness is a growing isolation of the country from the international community".
In the Reasoned Opinion, the Secretariat reiterates its view that the amendments to the country's Energy Law adopted in October 2014 deprive small businesses and all household customers of their right to purchase electricity directly from the supplier of their choice by obliging them to continue purchasing electricity from the incumbent monopoly supplier after the 1 January 2015 market liberalization deadline set in Energy Community law. The postponement of full market liberalization until 2020 represents a severe breach of the Treaty establishing the Energy Community. Open electricity markets are of principal importance for the achievement of the objectives of the internal energy market. The country is now requested to rectify the identified issues of non-compliance within a time limit of two months.
The Government justifies the postponement of the opening of the market by a risk of "possible drastic increase of the prices of electricity for the households." In reality, the argument related to potential "price shocks" seems to address rather the intended protection of the incumbent's liquidity than the protection of household customers from "price shocks". This measure is essentially protectionist in nature as it has the effect of shielding the incumbent supplier from any actual or potential competition by prolonging its legal supply monopoly for a significant period of time. Protecting customers from dramatic price increases and ensuring security of supply is a legitimate aim that could be achieved through measures which are significantly less market distorting and in compliance with Energy Community law, i.e. the possibility to impose public service obligations – including regulation of retail prices for non-household and household customers – on suppliers.

New Delhi, May 11 (UNI) Congress president Sonia Gandhi today thanked the voters of Rae Bareli who re-elected her to the Lok Sabha with a huge margin in the by-elections within two months after she resigned from the seat following the office-of-profit controversy.
"I will live up to the trust that the electorate of Rae Bareli had reposed in me again," Ms Sonia Gandhi told mediapersons at her 10 Janpath official residence even as her party workers were shouting pro-sonia slogans and beating drums outside the campus to celebrate her victory.
She said the Congress Party would form its government in Assam where elections were held along with West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
Ms Gandhi said the DPA alliance in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry had fared well in the elections there. "The results in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry are matters to be happy about." She, however, said the poll outcome in Kerala "disappointing," and in West Bengal not satisfactory.

#43 – "Income Inequality Is the Great Economic and Moral Crisis of Our Time"
Economics Poverty Cliches
The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is proud to partner with Young America's Foundation (YAF) to produce "Clichés of Progressivism," a series of insightful commentaries covering topics of free enterprise, income inequality, and limited government. See the index of the published chapters here.
#43 – "Income Inequality Is the Great Economic and Moral Crisis of Our Time"?
(Editor's Note: The author is president of Young America's Foundation.)
At the heart of progressivism's popularity is its ideologically driven theme that income inequality is an evil in a free society.
The 20th Century's most memorable government leaders rose to power attacking income inequality in one form or another. Lenin attacked the old regime led by the czars. Lenin specifically overthrew its replacement government led by social democrat Alexander Kerensky because Kerensky's socialist party tolerated income inequality. Stalin followed with his persecution of the kulaks, who were the relatively more successful, mostly Ukrainian, farmers. Lenin had set the stage for Stalin's purges by labeling kulaks as; "bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine."
Hitler, and his National Socialist Party, attacked Jewish Germans for their economic success and wealth accumulation. Mao Zedong came to power promising income equality and later led the "Cultural Revolution" to enforce his vision. The Castro brothers, and their secret police, the infamous Committee for the Defense of the Revolution, sought to rid Cuba of its successful entrepreneurs, lawyers, and doctors.
Essentially the same vices motivated each of these movements: envy and coveting against hard-working, saving-oriented, successful elements of their societies. Russian peasants and sailors could be taught to vilify the Kulaks. Nazis found followers in the 1930s who resented the success of Jewish merchants and professionals. Mao, and his Red brigades, attacked anyone who wasn't in their "masses." Castro eliminated or drove away those who had their own farm, sugar, oil-distribution, or entertainment business.
The modern day progressives also rely on envy and coveting to justify their raising tax rates. You can seldom find a copy of the New York Times, Washington Post, or other progressive-leaning publication that does not cite income inequality as a threat to a civil society.
How can vices such as envy, coveting, or as the Irish would say, "begrudgery," still be such core parts of the progressive agenda in light of the results of 20th Century movements that were similarly motivated? As the late economist Milton Friedman famously noted, "A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both."
Basically, it is part of the human condition to resist conceding that someone else is more successful than you are because of different God-given talents, or because he just might be a harder worker, or he made better decisions. The story of Cain's resentment and jealousy towards Abel, as told in various Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Scriptures, and its horrific consequences, captures how dangerous feeding off resentment can be.
Yet, it is envy, coveting, and begrudgery which are at the core of the modern day progressive belief system.
Ask modern day income redistributionists: Did you do what Kobe Bryant, Aaron Rodgers, Alexander Ovechkin, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, or even Bill Gates or Warren Buffett did to earn their wealth? I doubt they believe so. Yet, how many Americans get tricked into dehumanizing the "wealthy" sufficiently to take comfort in slapping confiscatory taxes on them?
In fact, in American culture today, our films, television shows, academia, and the media produce more ad hominem attacks against successful business people than in all the propaganda machines of the National Socialists, Committee for the Defense of the Revolution, and Red Guards' of yesteryear.
Every student knows their fellow classmates get different grades because of differing individual intelligence, attentive ability, hard work, and the level of other distractions in students' lives. So, you do not have a classroom ideological perspective that insists all grades must be equal and that "inequality" in grades must be eliminated.
You know that your efforts, or your classmates' efforts, merit different rewards. You accept that as fair. Shuffling the grades randomly, or making every grade the same, is not going to encourage scholarship and overall effort.
So, too, this is why conservatives and libertarians are not impressed by ideological claims that income inequality is worrisome, except to the extent that government interferes to choose favorites.
One of Jesus's most memorable parables dealt with three servants receiving three different sets of talents. Jesus did not suggest those talents should be re-distributed to create an equality. He was concerned with each recipient wisely using the talents he was entrusted with. If that meant the one with the most talents used his most effectively, Jesus's parable concluded with the greatest reward for him.
One final note: When progressives discuss security or foreign threats, they often ask, "If you think Al Qaeda or the Islamic State is a threat to the U.S., then why haven't you signed up to join the military?" Well, you should use this rhetorical approach when debating or discussing the "income inequality" issue with a progressive. Why don't they volunteer more of their personal income to the government than they are legally coerced to pay?
If the progressive thinks income inequality is a threat that requires action, then I ask, "Why not begin with yourself and redistribute your income? Your income is wildly unequal to the Third World poor or even the poorest Americans." Of course, the progressive is always reluctant to acknowledge that government cannot give anything to anyone without first seizing someone's wages or earnings. And the progressives seldom volunteer their own resources.
Historically, the worst demagogues demonize a group they don't like, such as "the rich," for the purposes of political gain and power lust.
Hypocritically, may progressives advocate government income redistribution in the name of "equality" but rarely run their own lives that way or spend their own money in accordance with the policies they support.

VW talks openly about licensing MEB platform to rivals
BEVMEBMichael JostVolkswagen
VW confirms for the first time that it intends to open up its MEB platform for electric vehicles to competitors. There is also growing evidence that Volkswagen is planning to sell an electric car for less than 20,000 euros in the near future.
"Our modular construction system for electric cars – Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) – should not only be a standard for the VW Group," Michael Jost, responsible for strategy at the core brand VW, told the German Tagesspiegel.
VW is already in "advanced talks" with some competitors, especially in the volume segment, Jost explained but without naming any names. There have been rumours for some time that Ford could license the MEB as part of the expanded cooperation with VW (we reported).
Jost also confirmed that VW is planning a cheaper entry-level model in line with the ID. announced for next year. "From 2023, or 2024 at the latest, we will also be launching an E-model the size of a T-Roc for less than 20,000 euros," said the head of strategy.
Such news had been floated before when VW prmoised an e-Up with a bigger battery. While the compact EV does not utilise the MEB platform, it still may build the base for a whole range of cheap electric vehicles reportedly.

Senior collections showcase heart & soul Reply
by The 1851 Chronicle • Features • Tags: design, fashion, Runway2019, senior collections
By Mackenzie Dineen, Danielle Hogan & Korynne Provenzano – Features Editor, Arts Editor, 1851 Staff
It takes each senior designer four years of preparation to present the extraordinary work they've put their energy and dedication into.
Senior designer Cailin Flannery's inspiration for her collection, "Deprivation," "stemmed from post-apocalyptic, but it all started from political environment, that this would be a theoretical downfall…" In terms of functionality, Flannery said, "It's comfortable, it's wearable, it's functional. It took on an androgynous edge, so both men and women can wear my collection."
As Flannery progressed in the design program, so did her imagination and confidence. "I've pushed myself more in my pieces, challenged myself more and done things I've never done before," she said. "No one wants to have a mediocre, played-it-safe senior collection, that's not the point."
Chair of the Fashion Department Professor Lynn Blake encourages designers to take advantage of their senior collections; it could be the last time these designers produce original work. "You're putting yourself out there in this huge creative process…that's like your whole self manifested in a piece of art," Flannery said.
Mariah Lang's "Operation: Coronation" has every bit of her personality poured into each stitch. Each gown, accessory, model, and second is planned accordingly and holds many symbolic values. Lang illustrates her journey through womanhood creatively by incorporating personal symbolism into her garments.
"I started off as a little girl who watched Disney movies, that was all I did…I just loved the Disney princess movies. They exhibited a lot of hopefulness and love, valor and grace. As I got older, it got more about being a woman… It became this entity of royalty. I wanted it to be really grand and have a huge element of majesty," Lang said.
Lang is a costumer, which sets her collection aside from ready-to-wear collections. "It's a lot more conceptual than it is design-based, because as a costumer, that is my goal; to tell a story rather than show off my construction skills," she said.
Rebecca Glick is another costume designer who recently costumed the show "Fun Home" with SpeakEasy Stage Company. "Costume design is my passion," said Glick, "I'm inspired by history." Her collection is titled "Rise" and is based on the idea that "women are warriors and they can rise from the ashes like a phoenix." Glick was inspired by gladiators, Grecians and samurai. The concept clicked while watching "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and admiring Princess Kida's garb. Her garments include tunics, balloon pants and gowns that transition from a dark black and blue color pallet to reds and golds, inspired by the phoenix's metamorphosis.
Glick learned to sew at age 13; she has since refined her craft in the Lasell fashion program and delved into hand-stitching and finer garment details while studying abroad in Paris. She also helped redesign The Lasell Fashion Collection's website, which is an online curation of over 3,000 garments a more accessible and user-friendly resource.
Libby Castaldi was born and raised on the coast of Westerly, R.I. and it is only fitting that her collection, "Luster," is inspired by pearls. "It's metaphorical, the way a pearl is born is that there's an irritation, something that it needs to get out, so the oyster coats it and works hard on making it into something beautiful," said Castaldi. Her garments begin with red and pink dresses and jumpsuits to symbolize the vexation inside an oyster and morph into blues and whites with lots of pearls.
From the age of four, Libby watched Project Runway and foresaw her destiny. "There was really no other option for me, ever. It took me a while to figure out my aesthetic but now that I know what I love to do, it comes naturally," Castaldi said.
Becky Littlefield's collection, "Reclaimed," is grounded in the meeting of architecture and nature. "I was inspired by brutalist architecture, specifically, I looked at a lot of abandoned buildings and how the nature overgrows," said Littlefield. The collection is sustainable, constructed entirely from vintage and recycled fabrics, thread is the only element in Littlefield's work that isn't second hand.
"Reclaimed" focuses on shape with great attention to emulating natural curves and includes many oversized pieces that are reminiscent of big, blocky, brutalist buildings. Color-blocking, shoes and accessories connect the pieces into one cohesive collection.
Littlefield is most excited to watch her hard work come together on the runway with her music, background and choreography. For as long as she can remember, she loved fashion; as a little girl she chose dolls for their outfits, designed paper purses and played fashion video games.
Unfortunately the process is not entirely about the creativity. Designers get frustrated, angry, hate their garments, or want to turn from the field completely. It's a challenge to have so much pressure put into these few pieces.
"Know when to step back when you need to or know when to take a break. A big thing that's helped me because I'm working on all these different pieces at once, if I get really frustrated with one of them, I could move onto the next one," said Flannery.
Runway 2019 will premiere Friday, April 26, with undergraduate collections. Saturday, April 27, senior designers will showcase their collections in the Athletic center at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale during lunch and dinner every weekday; general admission is $27.

Reuters UKInflation ate further into the budgets of British households last month, according to a survey of consumers, adding to signs that households will be feeling under pressure in the run-up to the June snap election planned by Prime Minister Theresa May.
German government spokeswoman says assumes the UK's election will not affect the Brexit negotiations proceeding.
A planned early election in Britain, announced by Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday, will not delay negotiations on its withdrawal from the European Union, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government said on Wednesday.
"The German government does not expect the election to interfere with the process of negotiations with Britain on leaving the EU," said government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer, adding Merkel and May had spoken by telephone on Tuesday.
Reuters UKPrime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday an early election would strengthen her at the "most crucial point" in Britain's divorce talks with the EU, as she prepared to ask parliament to approve a vote in just seven weeks' time.
May saying Labour would bankrupt the economy if they got into power. That's a bit more of what we expect from a UK general election debate.
Angus Robertson calls on May to condemn Daily Mail front page. She says free press is important.
After calling shock (some may say unnecessary) election in middle of Brexit uncertainty, Theresa May tells SNP to "get back to the day job"
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Wednesday that a victory for her Scottish National Party in a snap election on June 8 would make it impossible for British Prime Minister Theresa May to stop a new referendum on Scottish independence.
Former UK Chancellor George Osborne says he will not run in the June general election according to the Evening Standard.
British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday asked parliament to back her call for an early national election, saying the result would help unify parliament behind her Brexit plan and prevent instability.
Under electoral law, May must win a two thirds majority in a parliamentary vote due to be held later on Wednesday before she can officially call an early election. May is expected to win the vote, and wants to hold an election on June 8.
"I believe that at this moment of enormous national significance there should be unity here in Westminster not division," May told parliament. "That's why it is the right and responsible thing for all of us here today to vote for a general election."
Britain's parliament voted by 522 to 13 on Wednesday in favor of Prime Minister Theresa May's plan to hold an early national election.
Britain had not been due to hold a national election until 2020 but May said on Tuesday she wanted to bring that forward to June 8 this year in order to strengthen her hand in Brexit negotiations with the European Union.
She needed to win the backing of more than two thirds of parliament's 650 members in order to hold an early election.
Theresa May introduces a motion for an election ahead of schedule that must be backed by two thirds of the 650 seat lower House of Commons. This means that the government needs 434 votes to call the election. The vote is expected to take place at 1415gmt.
Reuters UKPrime Minister Theresa May called on parliament to back her demand for an early election on Wednesday, saying the vote was a chance to heal divisions in Britain before starting divorce talks with the European Union.
UK parliament votes by 522 to 13 in favour of holding early general election.
I welcome @ITV's decision to attempt to hold a TV debate with the PM. If @Theresa_May is so proud of her record, why won't she debate it?
Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn will vow on Thursday to defeat what he calls a "cosy cartel" at the heart of British politics that protects the interests of the wealthy.
Reuters UKPrime Minister Theresa May won parliament's backing for an early election on Wednesday, a vote she said would strengthen her hand in divorce talks with the European Union and help heal divisions in Britain.

The billboard in Florida that's helping save lives
wfmynews2.com | Fair Use
Sophia Swinford | Sep 06, 2018
This man could be advertising his own business; instead he uplifts and inspires people.
In the past 30 years, Tom Trout has brought Jacksonville, Florida, 32,000 messages of hope and positivity. Instead of pushing his own business, Tom Trout, Inc., Trout chooses to use his own advertising space to send messages that, in some cases, have saved lives.
Every week Trout changes the sign, which overlooks the I-95. "I've gotten letters from people saying it saved their lives when they were in a dark place, and it inspired them to rethink what they were doing," he says.
Many in the community now look forward to seeing the new billboard on their commute each week, and Trout looks forward to how his small messages of hope can uplift someone.
"It is something to look forward to," Trout said. "I know the messages have touched people driving by on the highway, and it has made a difference in people's lives."
But Trout doesn't come up with the messages all on his own. He takes suggestions, too. If you're a Floridian and want to make a suggestion, you can do so here.

Q: Show/hide div by button I am trying to show/hide a specific div by id depending on which button is selected, however while the correct content is being displayed, the rest of the page is being hidden. I would like that the buttons are kept on display whereas only the divs with the class name of material get hidden or shown depending on which button is selected. What is a possible way to fix this?
Code
JSFiddle.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".bob").click(function() {
    var divname = this.value;
    $("#material" + divname).show().siblings().hide();
  });

});
.material {
  display: none;
}

1.2 Select material v1

  <button class="bob" type="button" name="material" value="1">tiles 1</button>
  <button class="bob" type="button" name="material" value="2">tiles 2</button>
  <button class="bob" type="button" name="material" value="3">tiles 3</button>

A: You should select specific siblings.
 $("#material"+divname).show().siblings('.material').hide();

DEMO

A: Try out this.

In additional to that answer you can also add active class on each active element.
   $(document).ready(function() {
  $(".bob").click(function() {
    var divname = this.value;
    $(this).addClass("active")
    $("#material" + divname).show().siblings('.material').hide();

    $(this).siblings('.bob').removeClass("active")

  });
});

See Demo

A: You can try something like this:
$(".material").hide();
$("#material" + divname).show();

Trick is to split both process of hiding and showing. In my understanding, this makes code simple to read and to understand.
Code

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".bob").click(function() {
    var divname = this.value;
    hideAllSiblings();

});

// This function can be used to reset states of all elements
function hideAllSiblings() {
  $(".material").hide();
}
.material {

Creative Lives: Meet a Family of Artists
BY KARA ORTIGA
PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOSEPH PASCUAL
Though unintended, art is the lifeblood that runs in this family—from Soler Santos and his wife Mona to their children Luis, Carina, and Isabel.
It started with Soler's father, the late Maestro Mauro "Malang" Santos, whose legacy is unwavering. His use of color and depictions of folk life has been considered his greatest contribution to Philippine modern art, and his work has made him one of the most celebrated artists of his time.
It wasn't so surprising, then, that Soler would journey into art as well, working with various subjects and dabbling in figurative abstraction, eventually receiving a CCP Thirteen Artists Award along the way. Soler's style deviates from his father's, eschewing narrative and experimenting through time with texture and balance.
Soler (top) and Mona Santos share a studio at home with their son, Luis.
Meanwhile, Soler's wife, Mona, who left her job at an advertising agency to become a full-time artist, has painted flowers in livid detail, capturing the chiaroscuro of light on delicate flora in various forms, from the beginning of her career.
But when Soler and Mona, both acclaimed artists in their own right, were entering parenthood, art was never something they thought of instilling in the household. "When we started a family, we were relatively young. We did not actually sit down and discuss how we wanted to raise our children. We just wanted them to grow up healthy and do well in school, and we tried to support them in whatever they wanted to do. We did not push them to get into art. Although like most kids, they would doodle, draw, and paint," says Mona.
Which is why it seems quite fateful that today, every person in the Santos household is an artist, even when none of them had intended to be one—Luis, the eldest, took up business management, Carina considered writing, and Isabel took up European studies.

Isabel Santos with their dog, Noah
"When we put up West Gallery, Soler and I often had discussions about the works of the artists and the exhibits in the different galleries at the dinner table," says Mona of the children's upbringing. "So maybe, unconsciously, our conversations had an effect on them as well."
Now, each child has grown into a fully discovered artist, with each honing a style that is completely their own, independent of one another and of their parents. Luis' works are striking in their monochromatic hyperrealism; Carina's works are more ethereal and fluid; while Isabel experiments with mixed mediums, playing with pop culture and humor.
Isabel thinks that their styles were discovered as each child was approaching the path to art at different points in their life. "I started out with art very young, then grew out of it because it was somehow forced on me that I should be good at it (laughs). Ina (short for Carina) started in school, while kuya found his time after graduation. Our art maybe is as different as our lives and selves," shares Isabel. Luis adds, "Tingin ko may kanya kanya kasi kaming hilig tsaka experiences sa buhay, kaya mag iiba talaga yung art namin."
"Tatay Malang would often tell us not to copy his style and to develop our own," shares Mona. "The kids grew up hearing that from him. So maybe it was a no-brainer that they had to develop their own style. Also, their exposure to different art forms and materials helped them develop the type of art they wanted to pursue. We have a huge collection of art books, plus the Internet has made it possible for them to research and experiment. They grew up surrounded by art and art materials."
Luis Santos and Carina Santos with their dogs, Benny and Noah
Inside the family's home
But beyond the talent, it's the kinship that makes this family so unique, the sincere love and mutual admiration that obviously fills their home. This close-knit family of five is frequently seen traveling with each other, or spotted attending events around the city, often arriving as a complete family with their two dogs, Noah and Benny, in tow.
According to Mona and Soler, having had a flexible work schedule and not clocking in at an office from nine-to-five when Luis, Carina, and Isabel were growing up meant that had been able to spend a lot of time together as a family. Which might explain why they are all so close today, especially now that they share a common passion in art that draws them even closer.
From left: Isabel Santos, Soler Santos, Mona Santos, and Luis Santos. Not pictured is Soler and Mona's second child, Carina, who is matriculating at Central Saint Martins.
Inside the family's living area
In the compound where they currently reside with Soler's side of the family, the house beams with warmth and inspiration. Inside, there is always a work in progress continuously being thought upon, and a family that lives in harmony, communicating as relatives and sometimes as peers.
The dynamic works, because, Isabel says, "we like each other. Also because we're always together. Ina is the first one to move away, even if it's only temporary (Carina is currently studying at Central Saint Martins). There is a sense that we'll never escape one another, so better just get along. I think I'm a big fan of all of them, to a point of bragging to people about how good they all are."

Le lycée Antoine-de-Saint-Exupéry est un lycée situé à La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime, France), et baptisé en hommage à Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Ayant ouvert ses portes en 1988,

Architecture et Environnement

Le lycée a la particularité de reprendre les locaux d'un collège et d'une école primaire, ce qui fait que plusieurs architectures se côtoient à la suite des différents agrandissements. L'établissement est étendu, majoritairement de plain-pied, seul le bloc scientifique () et l'internat ( et demi) sont en hauteur.

Fin 2006, le Conseil d'administration du lycée a décidé de renommer les différentes cours du lycée avec des titres d'œuvres d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, à savoir Citadelle, Courrier sud, Terre des hommes, Le Petit Prince et Vol de nuit. Les élèves peuvent profiter de larges espaces de verdures notamment dans les cours Citadelle, Le Petit Prince et Courrier sud. Le lycée est non-fumeur.

Depuis 2010, les élèves bénéficient d'un foyer : la maison des lycéens, avec une salle de répétition musicale et un studio radiophonique.

Accès
Le lycée se trouve dans le quartier populaire de Port Neuf, allée de Lattre de Tassigny. Situé à moins de  de l'océan Atlantique, ce qui offre un point de vue sur la mer (Fort Boyard, Phare du bout du monde), notamment depuis le réfectoire, ainsi que depuis le bâtiment scientifique.

Formations
Le lycée accueille environ  et étudiants chaque année.

Il propose 8 spécialités en voie générale :

 Histoire géographie, géopolitique et sciences politiques
 Humanités, littérature et philosophie
 Langues, littératures et cultures étrangères et régionales (anglais ou espagnol)
 Littératures et langues et cultures de l'Antiquité (latin)
 Mathématiques
 Physique Chimie
 Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre
 Sciences Economiques et Sociales

Et trois spécialités en voie technologique STMG :

 Gestion et finance
 Mercatique
 Ressources humaines et communication

Le lycée offre un l'éventail de langues proposées :

 Allemand
 Anglais
 Chinois
 Espagnol
 Japonais
 Italien
 Latin
 Portugais

Ces enseignements sont accompagnés de partenariats et jumelage avec plusieurs lycées en Europe, permettant l'organisation de voyages scolaires réguliers en Espagne, Italie, au Royaume-Uni,... notamment avec le programme Erasmus +

L'autre versant est la présence de sections sportives :

 Section sportive Basketball (filles et garçons)
 Sections sportives Rugby (garçon)
 Pôle espoir du Stade Rochelais

Des ateliers artistiques (théâtre, improvisation, parcours du spectateur, journal du lycée, clubs radio, k-pop, cosplay, musique,...) complètent le quotidien des lycées.

Enseignement supérieur :

Le lycée propose aussi deux filières en BTS :

 BTS Commerce International, avec la spécificité des nombreuses langues vivantes accessibles au lycée,
 BTS Négociation et Digitalisation de la Relation Client NDRC, accessible en voie scolaire et par apprentissage (rentrée 2022).

Et une CPGE en partenariat avec l'Université de La Rochelle :

 CPGE Économie et Commerce en voie Générale (ECG).

Ouverture internationale

Le lycée a été souvent récompensé par des mentions pour les projets Etwinning organisés par les professeurs.

Il a reçu le label Euroscol à la rentrée 2022, décerné en raison des nombreux projets européens mis en place, voyages, échanges et projets multilatéraux avec des établissements scolaires européens, avec la mention "Réseau Ouvert Sur l'Europe".

Vie lycéenne

Une Maison Des Lycéens association loi de 1901 a été créée au sein du lycée pour gérer, aider à la création de club ou d'activités périscolaires. L'association Club Radio créée en 2005 publie l'émission Ex'cetera de radio du lycée, diffusée sur Radio Collège (95.9 FM autour de La Rochelle). De nombreuses personnalités sont passées dans l'émission comme Guy Marchand, Anna Karina, Juliette Binoche, Michel Piccoli, Roman Polanski, Ségolène Royal, Marie Gillain, Gad Elmaleh, Pierre Etaix lors du  Festival international du film de La Rochelle. C'est d'ailleurs au micro de l'émission que la présidente de la région Poitou-Charentes avait pour la première fois proposé la reprise de l'émission de France 5 "Arrêt sur image" en .

Internat
Le lycée possède un internat. C'est le bâtiment le plus récent du lycée, construit pour  et qui accueille également les internes du Lycée Maritime et Aquacole voisin. Construit sur un étage et demi avec des chambres avec mezzanine, on trouve au rez-de-chaussée l'infirmerie, la salle d'étude, une salle de loisirs (billard, baby foot, télévision).

Notes on the Cloudera Open Source licensing model
By David WORMS
CDSW
[more][less]
Do you like our work......we hire!
Never miss our publications about Open Source, big data and distributed systems, low frequency of one email every two months.
Following the publication of its Open Source licensing strategy on July 10, 2019 in an article called "our Commitment to Open Source Software", Cloudera broadcasted a webinar yesterday October 24, 2019 called "Cloudera's New Open Source Licensing Model". Those are my personal notes.
Cloudera acknowledge that a lot of customers want to work with Open Source products and open standards. It is important to Cloudera to propose an open source ecosystem and community and to maintain his role and influence inside this community.
The licensing model being chosen is mapped after the one of Red Hat which is a proven and well understood model. All products will be licensed under an OSI approved licence, using a combination of the Apache Software License (ASL) and the Affero General Public License (AGPL). The AGPL license extends the GPL which was focused on distributing software to software which are available remotely. Any changes to AGPL code must be delivered back into the community.
The actual closed source product such as the Cloudera Manager and the Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) will be released as Open Source software after February 2020.
Access to binaries will be limited to only customers with a current subscription agreement starting mid-november of this year. The date corresponds to the release of the datacenter version of the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). Any customer acquired since September has already engaged with the new terms. Current customers will be engaged on contract renewal.
Again, this is in line with the Red Hat model. However, the Red Hat distribution is popular enough to have the CentOS community to package the distribution available for free to the community. Cloudera explicitly said that it will not maintain a free version of its distribution comparable to CentOS and it is very unlikely to see it coming from a community initiative.
The binary and releases specific source code will be released behind a paywall which user will gain access with credentials bound to their subscription.
Currently, any version after CDH 6.3.1 and HDP 3.1.4 will be concerned and will not be publicly available.
For the partners, developer subscriptions are available through the portal and provide the right to use the Cloudera products for partner training, solution integration, development & testing, and demonstration purposes.
There hasn't been much changes since July's announcement. You can read Lars Francke post for an early and thorough analysis of the consequences of the new licensing model and its release strategy.


Aluminium Composite Panels find a widespread acceptance in the construction and interior decoration industries due to their various applications. PE Coated Aluminium Composite Panels are a definite improvement over the simple ones. These panels are also used for decorating the external as well as the internal walls. These panels are made fireproof, anti-bacteria and antistatic for various uses. PE coated aluminium composite panels are also made using high grade aluminium alloy and plastic.
In a PE Coated Aluminium Composite Panel, two sheets of corrosion resistant aluminium are permanently bonded to polyethylene core material. It has superb flexibility and it provides sound insulation. It is popular with interior decorators and is also widely used in commercial establishments the world over. It also finds wide usage in advertising boards.
PE Coated Aluminium Composite Panels come in various widths, thicknesses and lengths. They come in matt and gross series, depending upon the grossness of the PE coating. These panels are weather resistant for 8–10 years.
Strength– They are sturdier than plain aluminium composite sheets with little difference in weight and price.
Rigidity– The PE coating imparts more rigidity to these panels.
Impact resistance– The PE coating increases the impact resistance of these panels.
Surface flatness– The coating renders more flatness to the surface of the panels.
Sound insulation– This is a definite advantage at most places where these panels are used.
Heat insulation– This is particularly beneficial in hot and humid conditions.
Acid resistance– A protection which is very much welcome at the clients' end.
Weatherproofing– This gives a longer life to the panels.
Uniform coloring– The PE coating imparts a uniform coloring to the surface.
PE coated aluminium composite panels find wide applications at railway stations, airports, hotels, docks, recreation spots, metros, offices, villas, shop windows, filling stations, bookstalls, big billboards, telephone booths, roadside kiosks, furniture, traffic sentry boxes, trains, decoration pillars, ships, automobiles, carriages, kitchens, internal walls, compartments, toilets and ceilings. These easy to clean and low maintenance panels are fast becoming the first choice of builders, architects and consumers over the normal aluminium panels.

Trees Call for Help—And Now Scientists Can Understand
When drought hits, trees can suffer—a process that makes sounds. Now, scientists may have found the key to understanding these cries for help.
In the lab, a team of French scientists has captured the ultrasonic noise made by bubbles forming inside water-stressed trees. Because trees also make noises that aren't related to drought impacts, scientists hadn't before been able to discern which sounds are most worrisome.
"With this experiment we start to understand the origin of acoustic events in trees," said Alexandre Ponomarenko, a physicist at Grenoble University in France, whose team conducted the research.
This discovery could help scientists figure out when trees are parched and need emergency watering, added Ponomarenko, who presented his team's results last month at an American Physical Society meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.
A tree stands alone in the drought-stricken Salmon-Challis National Forest, Idaho, in an undated picture.
Listening to Trees
To figure out how to listen to trees, the French scientists drew on their knowledge of how trees take in water—essentially by drinking from a really long "straw."
Inside tree trunks are bundles of specialized tubes called xylem, which rely on the attractive forces between water molecules as well as those between water and plant cells to lift liquid to the highest leaves and branches.
Because trees are so tall, the liquid in the xylem can be under intense pressure—many times that of the atmosphere around us—but the attractive forces between neighboring water molecules keep the water column intact.
Imagine using a straw to slurp the last few drops from the bottom of your glass: You have to increase the pressure even more. In drought-stricken trees, this increased pressure can cause the water column to break, allowing dissolved air to form bubbles that block water flow.
These events are called cavitations, and while trees can withstand some, too many can be deadly.
Since cavitations can kill trees, scientists and forest managers want to know when they are increasing.
Scientists have known for decades that microphones can pick up the noises that cavitations make. But because they couldn't see inside the tree, they weren't certain of the origins of these sounds, which could have resulted from wood creaking or breaking or xylem cells collapsing.
To answer the question, the team put a thin slice of pine wood into a liquid-filled gel capsule to mimic conditions inside a living tree.
The scientists then evaporated water from the gel, simulating a drought. As the wood began cavitating, the scientists filmed bubbles forming while recording with a microphone.
The scientists found that around half the sounds they picked up were associated with cavitations. The rest were from other processes, such as bubbles invading neighboring cells. Most important, the sound waves from each type of event made a distinct pattern. All of them are above the range of human hearing.
The researchers think they can compare sounds from living trees with these patterns, and determine which processes are creating the sounds.
Helping Thirsty Trees
According to Ponomarenko, the findings could lead to the design of a handheld device that allows people to diagnose stressed trees using only microphones.
Such a device may be particularly important if droughts become more common and more severe, as many global warming models predict they will.
In fact, a study published in Nature last fall suggested that trees in many places—from tropical rain forests in South America to arid woodlands in the U.S. West—already "live on the edge," meaning their cavitation rate is almost as high as they can sustain.
Ponomarenko's method could provide an early warning that cavitations are increasing.
For instance, he envisions a device that would attach to a tree and constantly listen for sounds of thirst. If needed, the device could then trigger an emergency-watering system.
Ponomarenko's research is promising, added Cornell University's Abe Stroock, whose lab designed the gel capsule the French team used. He said the result "opens a new mode of observation" into cavitation.
But he also noted that the wood samples used in the team's study had to be "excised and abused," so they don't necessarily behave exactly like wood in a living tree.
"Translating [these findings] to a living plant and into different species is a lot of work, potentially," he said.

Music producer Dallas Austin has been hit with a lawsuit from bosses at a clothing company.
Austin, who has worked with Michael Jackson, Madonna and TLC, was reportedly planning on suing bosses at Grandex Inc., accusing them of trademark infringement, but they filed their own legal papers in a federal court.
According to TheJasmineBrand.com, executives at the clothing company filed trademark papers for their Rowdy Gentleman e-commerce site in 2012 and earlier this year (16) they received a cease and desist letter from Austin asking them to stop selling any items bearing the name Rowdy Gentlemen.
In the letter, Austin claims bosses at the company infringed on his trademark for his clothing line Rowdy. However, executives have fired back stating the fashion collections bare no resemblance.
In their lawsuit, they are asking a judge to order Austin to stop threatening them with lawsuits.

Why transporting cattle to sales and abattoirs will get a whole lot more efficient in CQ
Transporting cattle to sales and to local abattoirs is about to get a whole lot more efficient in Central and North Queensland thanks to nearly $110 million in federal funding road announced today.
In Capricornia the figure includes $20 million for a new Type 1 road train route from the Gracemere saleyards to two abattoirs in Rockhampton; and nearly $7 million to progress the sealing of the notorious Clermont-Alpha road in the region's far west.
Federal Member for Capricornia Michelle Landry was at announcement near Rockhampton today with Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Darren Chester and Federal Minister for Northern Australia Matthew Canavan.
Ms Landry said the funding comes from two federal buckets: the Commonwealth Beef Roads Program and the Commonwealth Northern Australia Roads Program.
"Capricornia marks the gateway to Northern Australia and the aim is to fund high priority projects in Northern Australia that are essential to the economic development of our North," Ms Landry said.
"Most significantly the federal government will contribute $20 million towards upgrading the transport corridor from the Gracemere saleyards through to Rockhampton's abattoir precinct to allow Type 1 road trains into the city without the need to uncouple.
"Previously, these cattle trucks had to leave one of their trailers full of cattle at Gracemere and return for it – doubling fuel and transport costs."
Ms Landry said: "The second major work will see $6.97 million spent to help gradually bitumen another three sections of the Clermont-Alpha Road. This area has been crying out for funding for some time. This is a start and I will be fighting for more funding for future stages of this road."
"We are the beef capital of Australia and this is important funding for country industries and will contribute to more efficiency and safety in livestock transport," Ms Landry said.

Trainspotters could soon be jotting more digits down as new duties to display longer numbers take effect, according to rail body RSSB.
As of 1 January 2018, all new trains, whether carriages, wagons or locomotives, as well as all existing trains that operate across borders into Europe, must display a new standard European Vehicle Number (EVN).
Since the time of the first railways, locomotives, carriages, wagons and units have all carried numbers as a form of identification, inspiring young and old to take up the quirky hobby of trainspotting, which became especially popular in the 1940s.
The numbers also serve a higher purpose, meaning that information about the trains can be shared easily and confidently, for planning their routes and to ensure they're properly maintained. As trains increasingly operate across national borders, European Vehicle Numbers will provide some consistency to operators, maintainers and suppliers, and could boost safety and efficiency.
The system for numbering British trains is based on the approach adopted by British Rail in the late 1960s. This was known as the Total Operations Processing System, or TOPS, and was originally developed by the Southern Pacific Railroad in USA. For many vehicles, the European Vehicle Number will actually incorporate the traditional British TOPS-based number, which can be underlined or emboldened in the marking.
However, only new trains will need to display the EVN. The majority of existing trains in Britain are not likely to need to run in mainland Europe, and these won't need to have the new numbers displayed on the side - although they will still need to be allocated a European Vehicle Number for identification in continental vehicle registers.
Britain's railways rely on a modern RSSB-managed IT system known as "R2" to administer and process rolling stock data – including their registration, marking and numbering. RSSB says that this means the change should be relatively hassle-free for Network Rail and train operating companies, as R2 does all the hard work in generating and allocating vehicle numbers, managing registration and providing the link between the EVN and the National Vehicle Register.
As of December 2017, requirements for registration, marking and numbering of rail vehicles operating on the GB mainline network are documented in a Rail Industry Standard, RIS-2453-RST Vehicle Registration, Marking and Numbering.
As of 1 January 2018, an EVN needs to be displayed on any new rail vehicle being authorised to be placed into service. Pre-existing rail vehicles authorised for placing into service before 1 January 2018 won't need the EVN to be displayed unless they are to be operated outside Britain.

Meet Donald
As a Navy airplane and helicopter mechanic and inspector from the age of 23, Donald traveled the world and learned how to create community wherever he went. After ten years in the Navy, he transitioned into civilian life where he worked for another decade at the VA Hospital in Tacoma doing environmental facility maintenance. Unfortunately, his background in machinery severely impacted his physical health and led to his inability to continue his work. Left with chronic pain in his shoulders and back, and a need for double wrist surgery, his disability status affected his employment, residency, retirement plan, and savings.
For the next three and half years, Donald experienced homelessness, and struggled to acquire the resources he needed to regain stability again. "I was always trying to find a better solution, but there wasn't always one available," he said about living in a homeless shelter. "I would go to the park to get exercise, go to the library to research things." He worked with his VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing) counselor and was placed in transitional housing at Andrew's Glen. There he worked with his Imagine Housing case manager and VASH worker to secure a permanent home at our Francis Village community.
Donald has been a resident at Francis Village for a year now, and loves his apartment. Now that he has stable housing, he's been able to work toward his health and employment goals. Donald has always liked working with his hands and finds ways to provide a helping hand to his neighbors at Francis Village. He plays a pivotal role in creating community at the bi-monthly community meals. He has recently completed his double wrist surgery and shared that he would like to go back to work. He especially wants to become a liaison, someone who can help veterans experiencing homelessness transition into stable housing, because he knows finding and connecting with resources can feel overwhelming.
It's more conducive to allow people to try to reestablish themselves in being a part of a community. It gives them the opportunity to be responsible for themselves and their community. When you're given the opportunity to maintain the roof over your head, you can take pride in it.
