Starting your own business is challenging. Thankfully, as someone with a disability, you are used to meeting and succeeding when it comes to challenging situations. Here are some ideas for getting started in a new venture.
Am I self-disciplined? You need to be timely and meet deadlines with nobody else setting your schedule.
Am I frugal? You must set a budget for your business and stick to it, saving for lean times and unforeseen expenses.
Am I humble? Sometimes a client may be very demanding, and some are downright rude. You need to be able to accept criticisms, whether you earn them or not.
Can I manage paperwork well? Good record-keeping is the underpinning of success. You must track your data to be responsible, to forecast needs, and to communicate well with your clients.
Am I a good communicator? Consider whether you can talk effectively over the phone, answer emails and texts, and conduct in-person meetings. If you aren't adept, hate doing those things, or are frequently misunderstood, you may struggle with developing a client base.
Can I maintain motivation? If you are easily bored, disappointed, or sidetracked, you may have trouble managing your own business. You need to be able to find your drive, even on difficult days.
Finding a fit. When you're starting a new business, finding the right fit is a key to success. Sometimes you may be sure you're ready but unsure of what will fit with your lifestyle or budget. One idea is to step into a side gig. Side gigs offer flexibility and freedom so you can tailor your schedule to suit your needs. They're a great way to try a new role on for size without a hefty financial risk. Find something you are interested in and have the appropriate skills to do. For instance, if you're great with animals, you could board dogs or provide pet sitting services. Or maybe you have a favorite school subject and can provide tutoring services. Are you multilingual? Translating languages is another terrific side gig. Contemplate what you are good at and explore your options!
Create a space to reach your goals. A lot of businesses get started at the kitchen table, but eventually, you'll need a workspace to call your own. Not too long ago, you needed an entire office to compass everything you needed to run the show, but nowadays, a small, quiet, and distraction-free area of your home is all you need to succeed. Of course, you'll need a good business computer, a printer/scanner, and some functional office furniture to round out your space/room, but once you have everything in place, all you need to do is focus on the task at hand. Before you know it, your productivity will shoot through the roof.
Create a customer loyalty program. With a loyalty program, you reward a customer for return business. For example, you can give a discount, a free product, or a dollar amount after so many transactions. This can be as simple as a card you stamp for purchases, or you can track it in a database and email rewards to customers.
Referral program. Along the same lines as loyalty rewards, you give incentives to those who send you new customers.
Use social media. Create a page for your business and talk it up!
Finding funding. They say it takes money to make money, and if your work starts taking off, you may decide you need to secure funds to achieve your goals. Chron explains there are a number of special funding options you may qualify for as a business owner with a disability. The federal government offers several options for grants, and there are private organizations with funding as well. Check with the U.S. Small Business Association at SBA.gov, Grants.gov, FedBizOpps.gov, and GrantsNet (hhs.gov/grantsnet).
Be a boss! As someone with a disability, you are used to meeting and beating challenges. Ensure you're ready to start a business, find a great fit, develop your customer base, and secure funding if and when you need it to grow. With these smart strategies, you can achieve success in your new venture!

Saving the Sparling
Sparling were found in various Scottish rivers in the past but died out from many due to over fishing, pollution or the building of barriers preventing them from reaching suitable spawning habitat. In Scotland they are now one of our rarest fish, apparently only remaining in the Cree, Forth and Tay. The Saving the Sparling project ran for 2 years, employing interns to study the local sparling population in the Cree and to work with and inform the local community about these wonderful fish.
Sparling (Osmerus eperlanus), also known as smelt or the cucumber fish, are a relatively small fish growing up to 30cm long. They have an adipose fin, appear grey-green in the water and have a distinct cucumber-like smell. They are anadromous species, meaning they spend most of their lives in the estuaries but require freshwater to complete their lifecycle by migrating on mass into freshwater over a few days each spring. They utilise the incoming high spring tides, as they are relatively weak swimmers, to reach the upper tidal limit of the River Cree to spawn. Their sticky eggs adhere to substrate surface and water weed where thy hatch after a few weeks. After hatching, juvenile sparling are then carried downstream to the estuaries to feed and grow before returning as adults to spawn after a few years.
Sparling were once a common species found in various Scottish rivers but have suffered significant declines due to overfishing, pollution or the building of impassable barriers. Historically records show that sparling were heavily netted with some years recording up to 6 tonnes being caught in the Cree, that roughly equates to 50,000 fish. Alongside commercial fishing, locals would regularly head down to the river during their spawning migration to collect a few buckets for their annual tasty dinner treat.
In Scotland they are now one of our rarest fish, only reported to remain in the Cree, Forth and Tay. There were once 15 known populations of sparling occurring in Scottish rivers; Almond, Annan, Bladnoch, Clyde, Cree. Dee, Esk. Fleet, Forth, Girvan, Lochar, Nith, Stinchar, Tay and Urr. Sparling are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and are also included in the UK and Dumfries and Galloway Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Species list. Since 1991 the Lower Cree has been designated as an SSSI to protect this rare fishes vital spawning ground.
The Saving the Sparling project was designed to be delivered over a two year period by two interns. The interns were to study the local sparling population in the River Cree and educate and engage the local community about this wonderful fish.
The key deliverables of the project were:
- To collect environmental data to predict the arrival of the sparling to spawn
- Completing regular checks for spawning in the lower river
- Involve volunteers in the project
- To collect a sample of sparling during a spawning event
- Collecting biological data from sampled sparling
- Engage with the local community to record local historical information
- Raise awareness of sparling in the local community and further afield
- Deliver a sparling focused project in local schools
In February of 2018, Jack Wootton was the first to be assigned the position of Sparling Project Intern. During his 5 month position, Jack successfully predicted the arrival of 2018 spring spawning event using various data collected including water temperature, tide data, predator presence and river flows. Jack, along with other members of the GFT team, sampled 200 sparling collected from the River Cree during the 2018 spring spawning event. From the 200 sparling collected, biological data was recorded such as weights and lengths to monitor the health of the sparling population in the River Cree.
In terms of community engagement and education, Jack was responsible for running the 'Sparling Goes To School' programme to educate local schools about the ecology of sparling. Jack visited Dalbeattie Primary, Kirkcowan Primary, Penninghame Primary and Wigtown Primary with all pupils excitingly getting to meet real live sparling! During this year, Jack helped to produce a range of dissemination material including display boards, leaflets and a short film. This material includes local historical information collected during public engagement events in Newton Stewart and Gatehouse of Fleet. Throughout 2018 local filmmaker John Wallace filmed the project work and created a short documentary-style film which includes footage of the sparling on the spawning grounds, you can watch the informative film by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.
In December of 2018, Courtney Rowland was appointed as the second Sparling Project Intern which came to an end in May of 2019. Courtney continued to build on the work previously completed by Jack, particularly focusing on community engagement and education. Courtney invited volunteers to join her on various aspects of the project, including recording the presence of known sparling predators where volunteers had the opportunity to learn new skills in bird identification. Volunteers also had the opportunity to learn more about sparling along the banks of the River Cree and the River Urr, learning more about their ideal habitat, signs of the sparlings arrival and to observe sparling (even testifying they smell of cucumber).
Courtney continued with the Sparling Goes To School Project visiting a further 9 schools (Belmont Primary, Dalbeattie Primary, Kirkcowan Primary, Gatehouse of Fleet Primary, Minnigaff Primary, Palnackie Primary, Penninghame Primary, St Ninian's R C Primary and Twynholm Primary). The pupils enjoyed playing sparling themed games and meeting real live sparling! Other community-based events held by Courtney were various presentation evenings open to locals wanting to learn more about this rare species so culturally and historically important and a very successful film night held at the Newton Stewart Museum.
Cumulatively the interns successfully delivered all aspects of the project including predicting the arrival of the sparling, sampling sparling, educating local children, engaging with locals and involving volunteers. Most importantly this project has successfully increased awareness about rare sparling in the local community and even further afield, receiving national coverage this year on BBC Radio Scotland's Out of Door programme and in the national newspaper the Scotsman.
This project was funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), The Scottish Government and The Holywood Trust.

To put into context the significance of what the mainstream media would have you believe is a meaningful change in Fed monetary policy, we present the following chart of the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet, courtesy of David Franklin at Sprott.
This chart shows two things. The first, and not so important, is how insignificant a $10 billion reduction in bond purchases really is. The second, and more important is, the colossal expansion of the Federal Reserve Balance Sheet since 2008.
Before introducing QE, the Fed's balance sheet was only $940 billion. Currently, it sits at just under $4 trillion. And, a projection by Sprott places it at $5 trillion by the end of 2014.
If their forecast is correct, which is perfectly reasonable given the current rate of expansion, it would mean that between 2008 and the end of 2014, the Fed will have increased its balance sheet by 5 times! Keep in mind that it took the Fed 95 years, between 1913 and 2008 to grow its balance sheet to just under $1 trillion.
This is a massive amount of money printing. And, wherever this money goes, it's going to raise the prices of whatever it touches.
We can already see the impact it's having on U.S. stock markets as they bounce around in record territory on relatively low volume. The impact is also evident in bond markets where interest rates have reached historic lows.
For now, inflation is showing up in asset prices rather than ordinary goods and services. The Fed, based on their comments we quoted above, are not concerned about inflation showing up in goods and services, but they ought to be.
The Fed maintains that the purpose of its QE program is to stimulate economic growth and in the process create jobs. However, as we explained in our September 20th Weekly entitled "Ben Bernanke is just Stringing you Along", the Fed is more concerned about suppressing interest rates and funding massive U.S. budget deficits than economic growth.
That's not to say that they are not interested in economic growth. The Fed is trying to stimulate the economy, but not in the manner often reported (i.e. by providing liquidity to banks to spur lending).
In actuality, they are hoping that the effect of printing an unprecedented amount of new currency will debase the dollar and make U.S. exports cheaper, thereby stimulating the economy.
This explanation, however, is not palatable for U.S. trading partners, Treasury debt holders, or the general population so the alternate explanation is given.
Ben Bernanke is famous for saying that the Fed could "raise interest rates in 15 minutes if he had to." It didn't take 15 minutes on Wednesday!
In a previous Weekly, we presented the chart below which illustrates the affect comments made by Ben Bernanke, regarding tapering bond purchases, had on interest rates. The rise between the two red lines indicates roughly a 25% increase in borrowing costs for the 10 Year Treasury.
Now that the QE program will reportedly be tapered in January, interest rates have responded in a similar fashion. On Wednesday, the UST 10Y opened at 2.86% and closed at 2.89%, an increase of 1.48%. This trend continued for the rest of the week with the UST 10Y at 2.94%, reflecting a rise of 2.72% as of this writing.
Taking into consideration the time period when tapering was first hinted at, May 22 to today, Treasury rates have risen 31%.
Rising interest rates are a big problem for the Fed for a couple of reasons. The thousand words reflected in the chart below shows the first reason.
The approximate U.S. National Debt is currently a mind boggling US$17,252,995,875,875. The interest paid on this debt so far in 2013 is US$254,199,540,000 (i.e. $254 billion). If you haven't seen the astonishing speed at which these two numbers are escalating check out: www.usdebtclock.org.
The above amount of interest represents 7.3% of the current U.S. budget of $3.49 trillion. Thus, any significant rise in interest rates on $17.3 trillion dollars spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e!
The second problem the Fed has with rising interest rates is the inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. The Fed holds just over $2 trillion in Treasury bonds, so when rates rise, their (and everyone else's) Treasury holdings lose value.
The bottom line is, when you consider the real reasons for QE, the Fed can't taper. It's trapped. Therefore, interest rates must stay low. And in relative terms, given the almost imperceptible impact a monthly reduction of $10 billion has, as shown in the earlier Sprott chart, they haven't done much in the way of tapering.
What they have done is more of the same posturing tactic, which we have talked about before, to try and sell the fiction that the economy is improving.
In our recent Weekly "The Game is over…" we presented the chart below, which shows the U.S. Debt, the Debt Ceiling, and the gold price over the last 14 years.
The chart clearly shows that the increase in U.S. debt has been matched by an increase in the price of gold, with of course, the exception of 2013.
With the continued trend of historic U.S. budget deficits resulting in rising debt levels and the likelihood of rising interest rates, the money printing party will have to continue. It's already manifesting itself in the form of higher asset prices and it's only a matter of time before it shows up in consumer prices.
On the international front, the tide of U.S. money printing has put enormous downward pressure on the dollar. This serves current U.S. policy well, as it makes exports cheaper and undermines the value of U.S. government debt. The trouble with this beggar-thy-neighbor policy is that other countries usually start doing the same in self-defense.
This is also known as the proverbial race to the bottom, in which countries engage in competitive devaluations in order to maintain an exchange rate beneficial to their own exports. As a result, tsunamis of international currencies flow all over the globe.
This is what explains the high inflation rates that have emerged in various countries (e.g. Brazil, Russia, and India). In economic terms, this process is known as importing inflation, in this case from the U.S.
Within this backdrop, it is intriguing to note which countries in the world hold the largest percentage of their foreign exchange reserves in gold.
In a similar committee meeting in July of 2011, he responded to a question from Congressman Ron Paul who asked the reason that central banks hold gold? Bernanke simply replied, "long-term tradition".
These are odd things for a Fed Chairman to say, given the Federal Reserve is responsible for setting U.S. foreign exchange rate policy for which 72% of these reserves are held in gold.
Would you hire someone to manage the foreign exchange reserves of the U.S., of which 72% consists of gold, who publicly confesses to his bosses that they only own it for purposes of tradition and further that he does not understand the price trends of the asset?
Of course we don't really believe Ben Bernanke when he says such things. We think this is simply an exercise in obfuscation and misdirection (aka Fed Speak). In fact, we know monetary officials value gold highly as a monetary reserve asset.
The curious part of all this is that the U.S. is devaluing the dollar, which everyone in the world must use to trade for major commodities, but will not officially sell an ounce of gold to fund historic budget deficits or pay down debt. Does that tell you anything?
Who are the real suckers?
We have written extensively about China's likely rapid accumulation of official gold reserves by their central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBOC). Additionally, central banks around the world turned net buyers of gold in early 2009 for the first time in 20 years, in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
Although, the U.S. is reportedly not adding to its gold reserves, it is officially not selling them either, notwithstanding the likelihood that they have leased a significant amount of these holdings to major bullion banks.
This should tell investors a great deal about what central banks are expecting in the future and gold's importance as a hedge against inflation and the potential loss in value of their other currency and sovereign debt holdings.
These risks have been heightened since the onset of the GFC as a result of the Fed's unprecedented QE program and the subsequent competitive devaluation that has followed. It explains why central banks, especially from Eastern countries, have made gold a central pillar of their strategic monetary objectives over the last few years.
If the world's central banks are preparing for a rainy day by accumulating and preserving their gold reserves, maybe you should own a little too.
Further, because the value of the yellow metal has been temporarily depressed, the publicly traded shares of gold producers are historically undervalued at the moment.
This makes it an opportune time to accumulate the shares of the most promising gold miners in anticipation of gold's favorable supply and demand fundamentals reasserting themselves over the medium to long term. These shares will offer strong leverage to a rising gold price.
If you are looking to take advantage of this rare window of opportunity to buy low for the purpose of selling high, check out our Gold Miners Comparative Analysis Table , which has a multitude of critical metrics to use in evaluating and comparing gold mining companies.
That's it for this week. Happy Holidays from all of us at Gold Miners!

Review of Community Food Security Literature and Future Directions for Addressing Community Food Insecurity in North Minneapolis (summary & metadata)
The purpose of this report was to provide scientific data to the Northside Food Project (NFP) community organization. The research goals were threefold: to research existing literature on food insecurity in low-income communities, to examine demographic and food insecurity-related data in North Minneapolis, and to explore the need and means for a community food security assessment in North Minneapolis. The concept of food insecurity is central to this work. Food insecurity is linked to overweight and obesity, which in turn are strongly related to major chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. Research indicates that low-income communities and communities of color are especially likely to lack adequate access to healthy foods; supermarkets and farmers markets are less common in these communities whereas corner stores and convenience stores are more common. North Minneapolis exhibits many of the symptoms of a food-insecure community.
Author: Gillian Lawrence
Published: July 2007, CURA, Univ of Minnesota
Intended audience: Northside Food Project, academics, public health / nutrition professionals
Goals / purpose: To provide data to the Northside Food Project (NFP) by conducting a literature review on food insecurity in low-income communities, and by researching demographic and food insecurity-related data and the need for a community food security assessment in North Minneapolis.
Synthesizes many scholarly works on food insecurity, as well as census
data specific to N Mpls. Cites examples of other cities' efforts to
address food insecurity.
Positive: many scholarly sources & concrete examples of projects w/ similar goals to NFP, TOC hyperlinked within the PDF
Challenges: not explicitly actionable (more a collection of information than something truly useable); traditional assoc. of food deserts & health inequity with CSAs / farmers' markets / etc. as the solution, doesn't bring in other perspectives such as policy or food industry (nothing from the bodegas' or supermarkets' point of view)
Couple this with resources that look at potential policy changes or changes within the corner stores etc., include "next steps" (suggests a Community Food Security Assessment - then what? what else should be done with this info?)

The All Blacks' Dog
A year after the world sadly lost illustrator Murray Ball, the World Rugby Museum remembers his wit, politics and love of rugby. Creator of the iconic Footrot Flats comic, the New Zealander left his mark on rugby history in the 1980s when he dramatically withdrew his character Dog as the mascot of the All Blacks.
Murray Ball's Footrot Flats was first published in The Evening Post in 1976 and continued until the late 1990s. The 1986 film Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale, gained further popularity for Ball and his collection of loveable characters. The comic followed the story of Manawatu farmer Wal Footrot and his lovable dog, 'Dog'. Footrot Flats presented an endearing parody of New Zealand life, whilst commenting upon the pertinent issues faced by New Zealand at the time. Sport, and in particular rugby, was intrinsic to the stories Ball told in Footrot Flats. Wal Footrot played rugby for Raupo RFC as a hooker and was often depicted training or playing for the club. He tried his hand at coaching the youth team from time to time, but coaching wasn't the end goal for this solid farmer - his real dream was to represent the All Blacks. This was gloriously illustrated in the Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale film. When teaching his niece Pongo and local boy Rangi how to play rugby, Rangi asks Wal, ''haven't you heard? An All Blacks selector is coming to town next month.'' Wal's fantasy of playing for the New Zealand national team is played out with Wal portrayed as the hero of the "magnificent All Blacks", who single-handedly thwarts the touring British & Irish Lions of a victory on the pitch. Stealing the ball and ducking through legs to score a try, Wal leisurely gives a bruised and battered Lions team a cheeky double-fingered gesture as he walks by afterwards. Next, Wal's off to kick his conversion - and he does it backwards towards the opposite goal posts, but the ball miraculously changes direction in the air and sails through the centre of the All Blacks' posts. ''What a perfect demonstration of the national ability to read the weather,'' the commentator exclaims excitedly.

Looking for vengeance, the Lions pounce upon Wal and stomp all over him. With no justice served against the attack on poor Wal, the commentator declares, ''what do you expect from a frog referee who probably thinks a ruck's a large stone?'' Wal is carried off for medical treatment, but he cannot be contained - running back onto the pitch resembling an ancient Egyptian mummy, wrapped head to toe in bandages. Wal swings himself around the posts to kick the ball away, dramatically preventing the ''boringly consistent Pom'' from scoring. Rugby was close to Murray Ball's heart. His father was an All Black, representing the side on the left wing between 1931 and 1936, including the 1935-1936 tour to the United Kingdom. Murray Ball represented his local club, Manawatu, between 1958 and 1962 and trialed for the All Blacks in 1961, but never made the squad selection. Politics was also close to Ball's heart. Fellow New Zealand cartoonist, Tom Scott described Ball as a "fiercely political and fiercely egalitarian" man. Living in South Africa between the ages of 11 and 19, Murray Ball was well acquainted with the system of apartheid and grew to hate the country's oppressive political system. It was his first-hand understanding of the troubles South Africa faced under this system that motivated Ball's opposition to the controversial 1981 Springboks tour to New Zealand.
New Zealand Cavaliers programme from the unofficial tour to South Africa in 1986
Four years later, the same issue would arise again with the suggestion of a 1985 All Blacks tour to South Africa. By this time, Footrot Flat's Dog has been adopted as the All Blacks' team mascot, but Ball did not wish his creation to be associated with the team if they were willing to visit South Africa. His morals outweighed his love of rugby and Ball was prompted to send a letter, in the Dog's voice, to The Dominion newspaper in Wellington, publicly resigning his position as the rugby teams' mascot. It stated, "I just wouldn't feel right sittin' there while we played rugby with the people who have killed more than 300 men, women and children in the last six months because they are not white." Eventually, the 1985 tour was cancelled, but an unofficial tour took place the following year, with a New Zealand team playing under the guise of the 'New Zealand Cavaliers'. The tension between rugby and apartheid in the second half of the 20th Century demonstrated the complex relationship between sport and politics. Murray Ball used the removal of Dog as the All Blacks' mascot to make a statement to a wide audience. Others protested the South African regime and the Springboks tours in a variety of ways. A plush version of Murray Ball's Dog is on display in the World Rugby Museum's Rugby and Apartheid gallery, alongside detailed accounts of those who played, policed and protested at rugby matches during the apartheid era.

Sex crimes increase in Vancouver, police say
ctvbc.ca Published Monday, August 30, 2010 4:33PM PDT Last Updated Friday, May 18, 2012 11:33PM PDT
The number of sexual assaults reported in Vancouver has jumped by 21 per cent this year, according to statistics released Monday by police.
Vancouver Police Department Chief Jim Chu told reporters that 246 sexual assaults have been reported in the city so far this year, up from 213 in the same period last year.
"A lot of them are gropings," Chu said. "There has been an increase in gropings, and women are coming forward to report them."
Police have responded to seven aggravated sexual assaults this year, up from just one last year.
Summer-Rain Bentham of Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter told CTV News that the group would like to see police take sexual assaults more seriously
"In all other areas of violent crimes, police have taken preventative measures...except for crimes that relate to violence against women," she said.
But Simon Fraser University criminologist Rob Gordon said the number of reported sexual assaults remains low for a city of Vancouver's size.
"The statistics indicate a nasty little percentage increase, but the raw numbers are not that huge," he said.
Most other types of crime have dropped
Chu said that sex assaults are a notable exception in a year that has seen the total number of crimes reported drop by 7.5 per cent.
"While every category of crime seems to be falling, there are always stubborn exceptions," he said.
So far in 2010, murders and attempted murders have both decreased significantly compared to the same period last year, with the number of homicides cut in half, and attempted homicides down by 75 per cent.
The number of break-ins reported this year has dropped by 10 per cent compared to last year, while theft from vehicles fell by more than 20 per cent.
Gordon described the latest numbers as "good-news statistics," and credited crime prevention strategies like the so-called Con Air program, which shipped people wanted on outstanding warrants back to their home provinces.
"The removal of chronic offenders who have come to Vancouver...that always has a good impact on crime rates," Gordon said.

Ohio grandparents arrested in 'unimaginable' child abuse case that police say 'makes you sick'
Armin and Susan Rodriguez, 71 and 68, were both being held at the Hamilton County jail on child endangerment charges. (Hamilton County Sheriff's Office)
A couple of Ohio grandparents are behind bars after allegedly taking part in cruel punishments their daughter has been accused of imposing on her stepson, a juvenile boy, who police say was so mistreated he developed "atrophy in his legs" and PTSD.
"If there's a victim of this type of abuse, it's tragic," Delhi Township Police Lt. Joe Macaluso told Fox News Digital. "And when you have somebody that's vulnerable, like a child or the elderly, it makes you sick."
Armin and Susan Rodriguez, 71 and 68, were both being held at the Hamilton County jail on child endangerment charges.

Macaluso said the extent of the abuse made the case "hard to look into."
Punishments allegedly went on for years and involved forcing the boy to stand alone in a room, beating him and restricting his food, the victim, his juvenile brother and other relatives told investigators, according to Macaluso.
"He was not allowed to urinate unless he was given permission by mom prior or by grandmother," Macaluso said. "And he was not allowed to eat the same things everyone else would eat."
U.S. crime trends: 2010 - 2020
The following is a breakdown of crimes per 100,000 people in the U.S., provided by the FBI:
The investigation grew out of prior charges against the victim's father and stepmother, who were accused of similar abuse by a neighboring department in February, Macaluso said.
"When the authorities in that jurisdiction did a forensic interview with the child, he related the same type of treatment was occurring by his step-grandparents in my jurisdiction," he said. "He would go over to his step-grandparents' house, their daughter would say that he's in trouble, and he's to be in timeout or he's grounded."
RELATED: Former US soccer star Hope Solo arrested for DUI, child abuse, police say
Court records obtained by Fox News Digital show the stepmother, Amy Rodriguez Dangel, faces 11 child endangerment charges for allegations that she "recklessly tortured or cruelly abused" the boy between January 2018 and April 2021. Her husband and the boy's father, Anthony Dangel, faces a single count for allegedly violating his duty of care.
The step-grandparents were indicted by a grand jury directly, Macaluso said. They are due back in court on June 3.
"The torture perpetrated on this young child is unimaginable," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters told local media after the grandparents' indictment, according to FOX 19. "He is safe now and with family members who love him."

Karachi comes under Islamabad's spotlight
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday termed the inclusion of Karachi Comprehensive Coastal Development Zone (KCCDZ) in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a 'game changer,' reiterating that his government would bring Karachi at par with the world's developed port cities.
"We will clean up our marine habitat for fishermen, develop 20,000 low-income housing units and present opportunities for investors," the PM said in a statement.
He appreciated the role of Ministry of Maritime Affairs in this regard. Earlier on Saturday, the federal government announced its plan to rebuild Karachi's coastline under CPEC with $ 3.5 billion investment from China.
Under this plan, the federal government said, Pakistan and China have agreed to include multibillion dollar KCCDZ under the CPEC framework.
"The monumental decision was taken during the 10th Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) on CPEC, held on September 23, 2021, in Islamabad and Beijing," an official statement said.
KCCDZ is an initiative of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs that envisages providing Karachi with an "ultramodern urban infrastructure zone, placing Karachi amongst the top port cities of the world."
According to federal government, developed on reclaimed area of approximately 640 hectares on the western backwaters marsh land of KPT (Karachi Port Trust), KCCDZ will be a flagship project for not only Pakistan but the entire region.
The government claims that KCCDZ will also provide residential resettlement to more than 20,000 families living in the surrounding slums in accordance with PM's vision for promoting low-cost housing.
The project envisages four new berths for KPT "adding depth to Pakistan's expanding maritime sector."
It will also house a "state-of-the-art fishing port, with a world class fisheries export processing zone to boost Pakistan's trade potential. It will also drastically improve the marine ecosystem and reduce pollution by establishing a water treatment plant at the mouth of the Lyari River."

I am running nginx on ubuntu server, I have it configured as a wildcard SSL frontend proxy to various other services in my network. I port forward 443 on my router to nginx only, I use dynamic DNS to configure various hosts to point to my router IP, and for each host I forward to the respective internal server. This is pretty standard stuff, and works very well, e.g. I expose my security camera NVR, UniFi controller, Plex, etc.
I found many many references to this "host not found in upstream" error when running nginx as a reverse proxy in docker, with a variety of solutions, most dealing with proxying to other containers, but none that I can get working.
E.g. add an explicit resolver to point to docker google DNS, "resolver 127.0.0.11", did not make a difference.
E.g. use a variable instead of a FQDN, but nginx does not support variables in "proxy_redirect default" blocks.
E.g. pass in the host name as a parameter "--add-host="plex.home.foo.net:192.168.1.47", but that defeats the purpose of DNS.
E.g. use static IP's instead of FQDN's, but that defeats the purpose of DNS.
Before I spend too much time on this, anybody using nginx as a reverse proxy running in docker but proxying servers outside of docker?

Melissa Joan Hart sued by former manager in breach of contract case
On behalf of Dunn Lambert, LLC | Oct 28, 2011 | Breach Of Contract
Many New Jersey children who grew up in the 90s were probably familiar with the Nickelodeon show "Clarissa Explains It All," and the actress who played Clarissa, Melissa Joan Hart. Many of those children who are now adults may be surprised to find out that the actress is involved in a legal entanglement with her former manager. Melissa Joan Hart's former manager has sued her for breach of contract.
Melissa Joan Hart's former manager filed the breach of contract suit in a Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday. The suit claims breach of oral contract, fraud and unjust enrichment. The former manager believes he helped Hart resuscitate her career and says he has not been paid commission for his work on Hart's latest project "Melissa & Joey."
After "Clarissa Explains It All" came to a close in the mid 1990s, Melissa Joan Hart starred in the television series "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch." The hit television show ran from 1996 to 2003. According to the breach of contract suit, Hart's former manager began to represent her in August 2006 and helped her rekindle her career after Sabrina came to an end. The suit claims the manager's, "advice and counsel was integral in thrusting Hart back into the Hollywood spotlight to once again be advertised as 'America's Sweetheart."
Hart's former manager says he helped Hart gain roles in commercials, appear on "Dancing With the Stars" and gain a leading role on an ABC sitcom called "Melissa & Joey." According to the suit, Melissa Joan Hart fired the manager in March 2010 without explanation. Since being fired, the former manager asserts that Hart failed to pay his 10 percent commission from "Melissa & Joey" and has labeled Hart as "cheap."
The former manager believes he is owed $56,250 plus additional commission earned from Hart's increased compensation from the latest season of "Melissa & Joey." The former manager also claims that Hart stopped paying him commissions in 2008 and Hart admitted she was not paying the commissions because she was "just being cheap."

Japanese video game database website Game Data Library has published the list of Japan's top 100 best-selling games of the year thus far. The data originally comes from a report by the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu.
It's good news for Nintendo as the top 10 contains seven Switch exclusives. Several games from 2017 are still selling very well; Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 2 are all still hanging on in the top 10. However, topping the list is Capcom's Monster Hunter World for PS4, which has amassed close to 2 million sales in Japan alone. In terms of year to date sales, Monster Hunter World beats out second place, Splatoon 2, more than three times over.

During the development of our new security SaaS, allowing anyone to check the security level of its own servers, we ran tests on one of our own websites. Since the website is hosted by one of the biggest hosting provider in Switzerland, we didn't expect to find any critical vulnerabilities. It turned out we were wrong.
Very sad to see such neglects at big swiss hosters. But it also shows how important good security processes are.

This process informs about the trade-offs engineers made in the implementations. Knowing a tool's strengths and weaknesses helps better design systems on top of it; it exposes potential failure modes and helps debug critical errors when they occur. It also reveals brilliant ideas, tricks, patterns and conventions used in production systems.

A lawsuit was part of the personality, if not the only visible sign of it, to such an extent that there was often no real animosity between the litigants, because they both needed each other.

Athena SWAN is a Charter for the advancement of gender equality in Higher Education, through representation, progression and success for all. It was established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in STEMM subjects (science, engineering, technology, maths and medicine). Independent research has confirmed that both female and male academics benefit from involvement in the charter. The University of Cambridge was a founder member of the Athena SWAN Charter, won its first Bronze Athena SWAN Award in March 2006, successfully renewed in 2009 and 2012, and in 2014 achieved a Silver Athena SWAN award.
The Faculty of Mathematics submitted an application for a Bronze Department Award in November 2013 and received the award in April 2014. A Bronze Department Award indicates that a department has identified challenges particular to its discipline and is working to address these. The Faculty has made significant strides since 2013, and is currently implementing a wide-ranging action plan to ensure equal opportunities. We successfully renewed our Bronze Award in 2017.

Q: passing multiple strings to get path but no results in PowerShell I have the following codes:
filter MultiSelect-String( [string[]]$Patterns ) {

    # Check the current item against all patterns.
    foreach($Pattern in $Patterns) {

        # If one of the patterns does not match, skip the item.
        $matched = @($_ | Select-String -Pattern $Pattern)

        if(-not $matched) {
            return
        }
    }

    # If all patterns matched, pass the item through.
    $_
}

Get-ChildItem -recurse | MultiSelect-String 'v1','Produit','quota'| select -unique path

when i execute the code it should give me the path + the name of the file (directory/filename)
However it gives me no results, but when I executed the same without  |select -unique path
it gives me results for which it is useless for me. How to get the directory path and the file name. Any idea ?

A: Path is not a properties for fileInfo object. Use directory or fullname instead:
Get-ChildItem -recurse | MultiSelect-String 'v1','Produit','quota'| select -unique directory # for path or fullname for path\filenamt.ext

March 25th Parades Cancelled in Greece While Coronavirus Cases Jump to 99
by Gregory Pappas March 11, 2020
written by Gregory Pappas March 11, 2020
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced, following a meeting with members of his cabinet and Greece's regional governors, that all parades on the March 25th national holiday will be cancelled.
The annual parades take place throughout Greece to celebrate the liberation of the country from Turkish rule in 1821. Participants include students from local schools while in Thessaloniki a huge military parade takes place.
Meanwhile, cases of coronavirus increased to 99 in Greece, a day after the government announced the closure of all schools and universities for a two-week period.
The measures are part of the government's efforts to prevent the virus from spreading as it has in neighboring Italy where more than 800 have died.
The first cases of the deadly virus appeared in Greece after a tour group returned from a pilgrimage to Israel and Egypt. Most members of the group, which originated from a town in western Greece, tested positive and were quickly quarantined and treated.
Greece has not seen deaths yet due to coronavirus. All but two of the patients who tested positive remain in stable condition either in hospitals or in isolation at home.
Neighboring Turkey also reported its first case on Wednesday.

Q: Strange recursion proof, bivariate induction argument. Say I have a recursive function defined in the following way
$$
f\left(i,j\right) = g\left( f\left(i,\left\lfloor\frac{i+j}{2} \right\rfloor\right),f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{i+j}{2} \right\rfloor,j \right) \right)
$$
Consider the conditions $0 \leq i < j \leq n - 1$ and $n \geq 3$. Assuming I start with $i = 0$ and $j = n - 1$ how can I prove that $f$ can be expressed as function of $f(h,k)$ where $k-h+1= 2$? My attempt is an induction argument on $n$, which I'm not sure is correct. If $n = 3$ then
$$
f(0,3) = g(f(0,1),f(1,3)) = g(f(0,1),g(f(1,2),f(2,3))),
$$
assuming the statement holds until $n$ (strong induction) let's see what happens for $n + 1$ in such a case we have
$$
f(0,n) = g\left(f\left(0,\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right\rfloor\right),f\left(\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right\rfloor,n\right) \right)
$$
therefore it seems to work, however I believe that this proof is not general enough. Because probably I should work on $(i,j)$ to build the induction cases, but I don't actually know how to do that...
Any clues?
Update: Another attempt based on the difference $j - i$. Let's assume $j - i = 3$ we have
$$
f(i,j) = f(i,i+2) = g(f(i,i+1),f(i+1,i+2))
$$
Let's assume that if $j - i \leq n$ things work, if $j - i = n + 1$ we have
$$
f(i,j) = g\left(f\left(i,\left\lfloor \frac{i+j}{2}\right\rfloor\right),f\left(\left\lfloor \frac{i+j}{2}\right\rfloor,j\right) \right)
$$
however as consequence of the hypothesis we have
$$
i < \left\lfloor \frac{i+j}{2} \right\rfloor < j
$$
Therefore we have
$$
\begin{array}{l}
\left\lfloor \frac{i+j}{2} \right\rfloor - i \leq n \\
j - \left\lfloor \frac{i+j}{2} \right\rfloor \leq n
\end{array}
$$
Therefore the argument should be proven.
Is this correct?

A: The following is based on the question before the edit:
You need to prove a stronger statement, because as it stands, even with strong induction your inductive hypothesis is not strong enough to say anything about $f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor, n\right)$. What you should be trying to prove by induction is that for any $i$ and $j$ with $0 \leq i < j \leq n$, $f(i, j)$ can be expressed as a function of several $f(h, k)$ (where the various $h$ and $k$ may be different) with $h-k = 1$.
After the edit:
Your second proof seems to hold up. That's clever to induct on the difference $i-j$. Note that the statement above still holds.

From respected at elite universities to wanted for murder
Sophia Tareen, The Associated Press
CHICAGO — After a cross-country manhunt, a Northwestern University professor and University of Oxford employee are in custody for the brutal stabbing death of a 26-year-old hair stylist in Chicago. The case has involved peculiar twists, including a cash donation by one of the two suspects in the victim's name at a Wisconsin library and a videotaped confession sent to friends. The two men surrendered peacefully in California after eight days as fugitives.
Northwestern microbiologist Wyndham Lathem and Oxford financial officer, Andrew Warren, were wanted on first-degree murder charges for the death of Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau. Lathem is due in court on Monday.
Here's a closer look at the case:
The body of 26-year-old Cornell-Duranleau was found stabbed to death inside an apartment belonging to Lathem in an upscale neighborhood near downtown Chicago. The July 27 attack was so violent the blade of the knife believed to have been used in the stabbing was broken, police said.
Authorities said the building's front desk received an anonymous call that a crime had been committed in the 10th-floor apartment. When police opened the door, they found Cornell-Duranleau's body. He had already been dead for at least 12 hours.
Police said the victim and Lathem had a personal relationship, but they have not elaborated or released a motive.
Authorities' primary target in the investigation has been Lathem, who's been on Northwestern's faculty since 2007. The 42-year-old is an associate professor of microbiology and immunology, though university officials say he primarily worked in a research lab. Published in top scientific journals, he was a sought-after speaker on pneumonic and bubonic plagues.
Over the years, he taught medical students or graduate students, though he was not teaching at the time of the crime, said officials with Northwestern, which has campuses in Chicago and suburban Evanston.
Investigators said Lathem sent a video to friends and relatives apologizing for his involvement in the crime, which he called the "biggest mistake of my life." The video raised concern among investigators that Lathem might kill himself.
Lathem was under intensive observation over the weekend in jail, according to authorities.
Less is known about Warren, who's British. Warren and Lathem were seen in surveillance video leaving Lathem's high-rise apartment building the day of the stabbing, but it's unclear what Warren's relationship was to the other two men.
He is in charge of pensions and payroll at the University of Oxford's Somerville College. Chicago police have said he's 56 years old, while California authorities booked him into jail at 49 years old.
Warren arrived in the U.S. three days before Cornell-Duranleau's death and after being reported missing in Great Britain, Chicago police confirmed.
Cornell-Duranleau, a Michigan native who received a cosmetology license, moved to Chicago last year. He lived in a neighborhood just southwest of downtown.
Family members issued a statement asking for time to grieve before commenting further, saying they're "deeply saddened" by the loss.
"It is our hope that the person or persons responsible for the death are brought to justice," the statement read.
A funeral will be held Aug. 12 in Lennon, Michigan.
The day the crime was committed, police say Lathem and Warren drove about 80 miles northwest of Chicago to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where one made a $1,000 cash donation to the local library in Cornell-Duranleau's name. Lake Geneva authorities said the man making the donation didn't give his name.
The two eluded police for eight days before their separate surrenders Friday evening in the Bay Area.
Lathem turned himself in at the Oakland federal building roughly the same time Warren turned himself in to police in San Francisco, authorities said. A U.S. Marshals spokesman said surrender negotiations through an attorney began late Friday afternoon.
Warren is being held at the county jail in San Francisco. It was unclear if he had an attorney.
Lathem was being held without bail in Alameda County and faced a Monday court appearance.
One of Lathem's attorneys, Barry Sheppard, in Chicago, said he helped facilitate the "peaceful and orderly" surrender and expects his client to waive extradition. He said his client is a distinguished scientist with a "fantastic record" of service.
"I hope that the public doesn't engage in a rush to judgment against Mr. Lathem," Sheppard said. "The details of the investigation, as they emerge, will hopefully clarify my client's role in whatever did in fact occur."

In Q3, Canopy Growth Corp (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC) hit a major milestone by achieving $74 million in net income. Although it was not the company's first profitable quarter, it was the first time it achieved profits that were high as a percentage of revenue. The quarter was seen as a watershed moment for the company, cementing its status as the king of the cannabis castle.
Canopy's Q3 earnings showcased a business moving closer and closer to consistent profits. Although the company posted an operating loss in the quarter, the loss was down from the prior quarter, indicating that Canopy is inching toward both net and operating profitability.
Pivotal as last quarter was for Canopy, it was not the first time a cannabis producer posted a sizable profit. In fact, not only have other cannabis companies posted positive net income and diluted EPS before, but many of them got there much quicker than Canopy did. The following are three marijuana stocks with consistent profitability track records that beat Canopy to the punch.
CannTrust is easily one of the most profitable cannabis companies on the TSX right now. In all of its past four quarters, it has had positive net AND operating income, making it one of the first cannabis companies to hit this milestone. Of course, this isn't hard to explain. CannTrust is not a very large cannabis producer, and isn't making the massive investments in global infrastructure that a Canopy (for example) is. In the long run, this could hurt its gains. But for now, its lean operations make it one of the cheapest marijuana stocks around.
Aphria may be one of the most controversial marijuana stocks in the world. Faced with short attacks, lawsuits and hostile takeover bids, it's been a magnet for drama. However, this hasn't stopped it from being profitable: the company has had positive net income in three of the past four years and three of the past four quarters. In its most recent quarter, Aphria had about $54 million in net income–in prior quarters, it posted positive operating income as well.
Organigram Holdings is one of the smaller TSX cannabis stocks, but it punches above its weight in terms of profitability. In its most recent quarter, it posted $12.7 million in sales, up 287% from the same quarter a year before. On top of those sales, the company earned $29 million in net income. However, it's important to note that Organigram's results for that quarter included a $49 million fair value adjustment that drove the earnings figure higher than it would otherwise be. Even taking that out of the equation, however, the company still had $2.9 million in free cash flow–an incredible achievement for any company in the cannabis space.


Citation: In reference to NR 0011-2011 dated 03/21/2011 the following Non-Compliances were discovered. In the process of asking questions about the Federal Bacons produced on 03/15/2011(Smoked and Cooled) it was discovered that before this date a few other batches of Federal Bacons were produced and that these Bacons were Smoked in the Est. 4499's new Smokehouse that the Establishment just started using about a month ago. This was all mentioned by (Manager) when asking about the lot of Bacons produced on 03/15/2011 referenced in NR 0011-2011 dated 03/21/2011. After the events related to NR 11-2011 was asked for the records for the few batches of Bacons that were produced under Federal before the batch/lot produced on 03/15/2011. This was ask by myself (Inspector ) and (SVMO Dr. ). I myself asked a few days ago and Dr. yesterday. On 03/24/2011 before leaving the establishment at the end of my shift, talking to , he mentioned he doesn't have any records of the cooking and cooling of the few past batches of bacons because he never printed the Smoking of the bacons from the new smokehouse therefore he has no record of the few past bacons produced under Federal USDA Inspection. Also since he has no record of these batches he has no record of cooling the bacons according to the plants' HACCP Plan. The following records Non-Compliance is the failure of Est. 4499 Tri-Town Packing to follow part 417.5 (a)(3) and 417.5 (e)(1) of the regulations. Since there is no records for these few batches of Federal Bacons produced for Inspection (Smoking and Cooling) according to the Plants' HACCP Plan, USDA FSIS has no way to determine if the bacons were produced in a safe manner to preclude adulteration.
417.5(e)(2) Off-site storage of records required by paragraph (a)(3) of this section is permitted after six months, if such records can be retrieved and provided, on-site, within 24 hours of an FSIS employee's request.

Ex-Dire Straits, Pretenders members featured on new instrumental project Held by Trees
Tweed Jacket Music
Founding Dire Straits member David Knopfler and former Pretenders guitarist Robbie McIntosh are among the many respected musicians who are contributing to a new instrumental project called Held by Trees.
The collective, led by composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist David Joseph, will release a new single called "Mysterium" on November 12, and is planning to issue its self-titled debut album in the spring of 2022.
Joseph describes Held by Trees' music as somewhere between David Gilmour-era Pink Floyd and the later, prog-rock-influenced work of British new wave band Talk Talk.
The latter is no surprise, considering the fact that several musicians who worked with Talk Talk — and on the solo recordings by that group's late frontman Mark Hollis — are featured on "Mysterium." They include McIntosh, drummer/percussionist Martin Ditcham and keyboardist Laurence Pendrous.
The track also includes the talents of veteran blues singer/songwriter Eric Bibb.
You can pre-order "Mysterium" and the Held by Trees album now.

One Blackpool, which specialises in providing practical support services and training to the voluntary and social enterprise sector across Blackpool Fylde & Wyre, has been awarded a £50,000 grant from The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) as part of the group's Inspiring Enterprise initiative.
These activities may include enterprise education, skills development, networking or funding on a not for profit basis although it does not include schools.
Organisations submitted applications for funding to run programmes and winners have been announced across the UK. The grants were submitted online and winners were chosen by a judging panel which included a public vote.
The Blackpool Young Enterprise Solutions project brings together the skills, passion and expertise of four social enterprise organisations (One Blackpool Ltd, Social Enterprise Solutions, 3E Partnership and Think Forward) alongside support from Blackpool Council.
The project will reach 130 young people will receive initial training, including interactive workshop sessions and self-directed learning, to explore and learn about enterprise as a career pathway. They will also be given unique opportunities to visit real working social enterprise organisations.
52 of these will be given further practical 1:2:1 support from experienced business mentors to pursue the option to set up their own business or social enterprise. They will receive on-going support throughout and beyond the lifetime of the project through peer support networks and business mentors.
A project launch will be taking place on November 20th 2014, where local stakeholders will be invited to learn more about the opportunities available and how they can engage with this project. Tony Carr, chairman, One Blackpool, said: "Unemployment is a profound problem in Blackpool, where the number of Jobseekers Allowance claimants is 50% higher than the national average. The contribution from the RBS Inspiring Youth Enterprise fund will provide significant benefits, allowing us to work with unemployed young people to promote business and social enterprise as a viable career pathway."
