The Twitter Revolution Debate Is Dead
by Ella Chou
The debate about the role of digital social media in social movements is brought to a new height with events in Tunisia and Egypt. Chinese netizens also labeled the success of the Egyptian demonstrations a victory of the "Twitter Revolution". Graham Webster, graduate student in political science at the University of Washington, who studies China and the intersection of technology and politics, writes in to say that the Twitter revolution is dead, and he makes a cogent argument for cyber pragmatism:
"It is a triumph of science and energy over time and space, uniting more closely the bonds of peace and commercial prosperity, -- introducing an era in the world's history pregnant with results beyond the conception of a finite mind." It, of course, is the transatlantic telegraph, in the words of the mayor of New York in August 1858.
But would it not be reasonable if I claimed these were the words of a Twitter proponent with strange diction? In 2009, this kind of rhetoric seemed ubiquitous. A "Twitter revolution" (later failed) was under way in Iran, and freedom was to flow from a fiber-optic terminal. A battle of narratives emerged.
In one corner, we had "cyper-optimists," these heralds of a new era of liberalization triggered by a fundamental democratizing force of the internet and social media. In the other, we had "cyber-pessimists," cautious realists who witnessed or anticipated the ways authoritarian governments could use the internet to shore up control. After a battle played out in op-eds, popular books, online debates, and the killing fields of punditlandia, the two sides have obliterated one other.
After the events in Iran, intense debate over Belarus, Moldova, the Philippines, Tunisia, and now Egypt, a tentative realism has set in--and it's just what we need.
It has become clear that in authoritarian countries, as in college dorms or corporate offices, cheap digital technology and social media applications can change the way people organize. It has also become clear that authoritarian governments, just like other governments, can use the internet and digital technology to try to accomplish their goals.
For some, such as Clay Shirky and Malcom Gladwell, the debate is still on (though even they have refined their rhetoric). However, in what I see as a growing wave of essays and news reports, the notion that information and communication technologies could almost singlehandedly cause a movement that leads to a regime change is passé, and no longer in need of refutation. Revolutionaries and political contexts cause revolution, and they succeed or fail for reasons that necessarily transcend their tools.
What excites me as a researcher is that we have reached a stage where the structure of revolutions and the contributing or countervailing role of technology is discussed in some subtlety even by pundits.
We have come back to the question of how political change happens, and technology no longer needs to be the center of the story. Even better, some are reasonably asking what we even mean by revolution, if technology is to be a part of it. Even the folks who think technology is pushing history are getting more careful, taking the focus away from specific applications and underlining the tradeoffs of online organizing.
It is important that this new equilibrium set in. Cyber-pragmatism is the perspective that should guide U.S. policy on the internet. As much as I believe in freedom of speech, expression, press, etc., it has to be an open question as to whether internet freedom is really a core U.S. interest, and one way or another, liberalizers can't use social media as a crutch. Policymakers and thinkers should not be seduced by fantastic stories of tech-driven reform, or by one-sided stories of tech-enabled suppression. Only careful consideration and debate will show the way, and if we leave the Twitter revolution debate behind, we just might get there.

Q: Condition Returns True even if it isn't So i was writing a C program to check if a triangle is scalene, isosceles,or equilateral.
But whenever i equate the three sides NOT to be equal, it still returns 1 (see condition on line 16).
// Write a C program to check whether the triangle is equilateral, isosceles or scalene triangle
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int side1, side2, side3;
    printf("Enter side 1: ");
    scanf("%d", &side1);
    printf("Enter side 2: ");
    scanf("%d", &side2);
    printf("Enter side 3: ");
    scanf("%d", &side3);
    if (((side1+side2)>side3)&&((side2+side3)>side1)&&((side1+side3)>side2))
    {
        if (side1!=side2!=side3)
        {
            printf("%d\n", side1!=side2!=side3);
            if ((side1==side2)||(side1==side3)||(side2==side3))
            {
                printf("Triangle is isosceles!");
            }
            else
            {
                printf("Triangle is scalene!");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            printf("Triangle is equilateral!");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Input sides doesn't make a triangle!");
    }
    printf("\n");
}

karthik@cosmic:~/.../Binaries (compiled on Linux)$ ./scalene\ equilateral\ or\ isosceles
Enter side 1: 34
Enter side 2: 34
Enter side 3: 34
1
Triangle is isosceles!

I dont understand why that '1' should be printed or why should that line of loop work.
Someone please help me!

A: You are printing the same expression that you use in the if condition, so if the if expression is true, it will obviously print 1..
    if (side1!=side2!=side3)
    {
        //If you got here, then side1!=side2!=side3 returns 1.
        printf("%d\n", side1!=side2!=side3);

More over, side1 != side2 will return either 1 or 0. Then you check if (1 or 0) != side3, which will probably be true, and return 1. If you enable warnings the compiler will probably throw a warning..
You probably want side1 != side2 && side1 != side3 && side2 != side3

The amount of compensation claimed by businesses from credit insurers for customer insolvency or late payment soared by 42% to £149m last year, according to new figures, as firms of all sizes continue to struggle to get paid on time.
A total of £3m is being paid out to businesses each week on their trade credit insurance, with the blame put on economic uncertainty and volatility.
Credit insurance provides businesses with protection against the risks of bad debt by safeguarding cash flow against debtor insolvency or protracted default.
When an invoice becomes aged or a customer enters insolvency proceedings, the credit insurance company ensures payment for any goods or services supplied, subject to a designated credit limit.
Despite total company insolvencies in the UK being at their lowest level since 1989, businesses are still facing risks due to economic uncertainty sparked by volatility in export markets, subdued UK growth across various sectors and the uncertainty being caused by the Brexit debate.
This is leading some businesses to pay invoices late – and sometimes not at all.
The data, provided by the Association of British Insurers (ABI), revealed that 11,000 claims were made by businesses in 2015, an increase of 19% on the previous year.
The figures also showed that while three quarters (74%) of trade credit insurance policies cover businesses trading domestically, 22% of policies cover businesses exporting goods abroad, giving businesses protection to help manage the financial risks that can come with exporting.
Mark Shepherd, ABI General Insurance Policy Manager, said: "Economic uncertainty appears to be causing firms to claim on their insurance if one of their customers pays late, or not at all.
"Trade credit insurance provides vital support to help businesses trade with peace of mind.
"Last year, insurers paid out £149m to businesses owed money by their customers, allowing them to continue to operate in uncertain times.

Download our Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Fact Sheet
What is Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy.
DMD is caused by an absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. Symptom onset is in early childhood, usually between ages 3 and 5. The disease primarily affects boys, but in rare cases it can affect girls.
What are the symptoms of DMD?
Muscle weakness can begin as early as age 3, first affecting the muscles of the hips, pelvic area, thighs and shoulders, and later the skeletal (voluntary) muscles in the arms, legs and trunk. The calves often are enlarged. By the early teens, the heart and respiratory muscles also are affected. For more about DMD symptoms, see Signs and Symptoms.
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a milder version of DMD. Its onset is usually in the teens or early adulthood, and the course is slower and less predictable than that of DMD.
What causes DMD?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy was first described by the French neurologist Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchenne in the 1860s, but until the 1980s, little was known about the cause of any kind of muscular dystrophy. In 1986, MDA-supported researchers identified a particular gene on the X chromosome that, when flawed (mutated), leads to DMD. In 1987, the protein associated with this gene was identified and named dystrophin. Lack of the dystrophin protein in muscle cells causes them to be fragile and easily damaged.
DMD has an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern and is passed on by the mother, who is referred to as acarrier. For more about the way gene mutations cause Duchenne dystrophy, see Causes/Inheritance.
What are DMD 'carriers'?
DMD carriers are females who have a normal dystrophin gene on one X chromosome and an abnormal dystrophin gene on the other X chromosome. Most carriers of DMD do not themselves have signs and symptoms of the disease, but a minority do. Symptoms can range from mild skeletal muscle weakness or cardiac involvement to severe weakness or cardiac effects and can begin in childhood or adulthood. For more, read Females and DMD in Causes/Inheritance.
What is the life expectancy in DMD?
Until relatively recently, boys with DMD usually did not survive much beyond their teen years. Thanks to advances in cardiac and respiratory care, life expectancy is increasing and many young adults with DMD attend college, have careers, get married and have children. Survival into the early 30s is becoming more common, and there are cases of men living into their 40s and 50s. For more about living with DMD, see Medical Management.
What is the status of DMD research?
MDA-supported researchers are actively pursuing several exciting strategies in DMD, such as gene therapy, exon skipping, stop codon read-through and gene repair. Human clinical trials are under way for some of these strategies. For an overview of DMD research strategies and the latest research news, see Research.
On Sept. 19, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to eteplirsen (brand name Exondys 51) as the first disease-modifying drug for DMD. For more, see Top 5 FAQs: Eteplirsen (Exondys 51) for DMD Treatment.
The FDA on Feb. 9, 2017, approved deflazacort (brand name Emflaza) to treat DMD. For more, see FDA Approves Emflaza for Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
For stories of families living with DMD, see our DMD stories on Strongly, the MDA blog, or DMD stories on The Mighty.

History of Clavey Auto Service
"Stubby" the tow truck
One of Glenview's oldest, family-operated auto service centers, Clavey Auto Service, is entering it's 61st year of business. The company originally opened in 1956 at 1332 Waukegan Road and later moved to 812 Waukegan, the current site of Glenview State Bank. For the last 44 years, Clavey Auto has been located at its current site at 2003 Chestnut Avenue, between Waukegan Road and Lehigh Avenue.
The Clavey name also has a connection to one of Glenview's oldest families, the Rugens. Louis Clavey, great-grandfather to Lou, Arliss and Marvin, was married to Anna Rugen.
In January 1956, Lou Clavey purchased the building at 1332 Waukegan Road. In December of that year, Arliss Clavey returned home from the Army and joined his brother, Lou. Nine years later Marvin Clavey joined his two brothers and two employees in the growing business. During this time Herman Clavey joined his three sons in the operation of the shop.
In 2000, Clavey Auto Service expanded into the front of their building, that was previously occupied by a tenant, and expanded the crew of technicians to accommodate the growing list of customers.
Currently the shop is operated by brothers Jack and Jeff. Their wives, Carol and Jody, share the office responsibilities that were previously performed by Jack and Jeff's sister Kathleen, who left the business to start her own family. Arliss still stops in periodically to help out. Jeff's son Matt and Jack's son Kevin worked summers before they graduated college. Matt and Kevin are the fourth generation of Clavey's to work in the business. Most recently, Kathleen's son Tommy has been helping out at the shop, continuing a long legacy of family members to be involved at Clavey Auto Service.
With a current staff of 11 and all of the technicians certified by the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), Clavey Auto Service continues a family tradition of quality auto maintenance and repairs, and the exceptional customer service that began over 60 years ago.

Four housing associations have joined together to host an information event for people aged 55 and over who live in the homes they provide in the Derry/Londonderry area.
Pictured at the 'Making Connections' event are L-R: Peter Small, Apex tenant; Teresa McDonough, Habinteg tenant; Rachael Power from Apex; Marian McCallion, Clanmil tenant; Mayor of Derry City and Strabane, Cllr Michaela Boyle; Ryan Young from Radius; Margaret McLaughlin from Habinteg; Austin Kelly from Clanmil and Bernie Cassidy, Radius tenant.
More than 80 people attended the free "Making Connections" event at the Maldron Hotel in the City which was organised by Apex, Clanmil Housing, Radius and Habinteg.
At the event, which was introduced by Cllr Michaela Boyle, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District, people were able to find out about local services for over 55s. They also enjoyed lunch, music and a game of bingo together.
North West Volunteer Centre, Libraries NI, Drink Wise, Good Morning Call, Pension Wise and the Disability Equality Group all had information stands at the event. Advice on will writing, welfare and local foodbanks was also available.
Marian McCallion, who attended the event said:
"We've had a great day and I've found out lots of useful information about what's going on in my local area that I could be involved in. It was really nice to spend time with my neighbours and meet up with other people who live close by. Hopefully there will be more events like this coming up."
Austin Kelly, Community Cohesion Officer at Clanmil said:
"It makes perfect sense for housing associations in the area to work together like this. Our tenants all share the same issues and interests and we can do much more to support them by working together.
"Events like this not only help people find out about, and tap into, the services and activities available in their area, but they also provide opportunities to meet new people, make friends and build a wider social network. We're really pleased that so many people have come along."
Rachael Power, Senior Communities Officer at Apex commented:
"It's been fantastic to see older tenants from across the city enjoying an afternoon together in the lead up to Christmas. For many, this is a magical time of year but it can also become a lonely period for those who don't have a wide circle of family and friends. We're delighted to be able to jointly host this event allowing neighbours to come together and build stronger friendships."
Margaret McLaughlin, North West Community Involvement Officer with Habinteg said:
"It has been such a positive event for local residents enjoying the social aspect of the occasion while accessing real support, and for those of us helping to deliver services to the community, being able to work together and pool our shared experience."
Ryan Young, Community Empowerment Coordinator at Radius said:
"We are delighted to work in partnership with our housing association colleagues on initiatives like this, which make such a difference to the people living in our communities."
RESIDENTS at Cook Court, Clanmil Housing's independent living scheme in Newtownards, alongside a group of young people from Newtownards, Include Youth Give and Take, met over three sessions sharing stories and experiences over food, with chat and a few gruelling questions.
The project supported by Food for Life Get Together and Linking Generations Northern Ireland, provided an opportunity for people of different ages and backgrounds a chance to get to know each other while sharing real, healthy food.
Nicola Thompson, Senior Youth Worker at Include Youth said, "This fantastic funding has created connections and conversations across generations that wouldn't normally work together. Everyone irrespective of age embraced the sessions, with talk of future working together".
Two young people from Include Youth, Louis and Taylor, "It was good to meet with different generations and talk about being vegan and what that means, while sharing a meal with everyone".
Gillian Elder, scheme coordinator for Cook Court said, "It's been a great experience for all, understanding that each individual is unique and recognizing our individual tastes in food".
William Miskelly who lives at Cook Court really enjoyed the sessions, "It has been a real pleasure to meet this group of young people and have the opportunity to sit down over a meal and get to know them better. Good food is one thing that we all appreciate, regardless of how old or young we are, but we've been finding out that it's not the only interest we share. There's been no shortage of craic".
Housing federation calls for urgent action
Following revelations that more than 26,000 people are now living in housing stress in Northern Ireland, a housing federation is calling for urgent action to address the crisis.
Ben Collins, chief executive of the Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations (NIFHA), was responding to the latest annual Northern Ireland Housing Statistics which were published this week. Mr Collins noted that politicians already support the key changes that are needed but said progressing these must be put at the top of the political agenda.
"In the last year, 2,000 more people in Northern Ireland have found themselves living in unsafe or unsuitable accommodation. That's another unwelcome record number, up from last year's 24,000," he said.
"For reasons that are outside their control - a change in circumstances, working zero-hour contracts or in low paid jobs, dealing with illness or disability - more and more people here are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
"Despite this crisis, funding and other constraints mean that less than 2,000 new social homes are built each year," Mr Collins continued.
"We can and must do more," he emphasised. "A secure place to call home is the foundation on which people build better lives for themselves and their families. Without a home, it's almost impossible to sustain good physical or mental health, earn a qualification or keep a job.
"That's why housing must be at the very top of our political priorities and that's why NIFHA is launching It Starts with a Home.
"We clearly set out the actions that are needed to make real progress in providing the number of homes that are urgently needed.
"In Homelessness Awareness Week, we ask every General Election candidate and every political party to pledge their commitment to ensuring that everyone in Northern Ireland has a secure place to call home by supporting #StartswithaHome.
"Everyone can do their bit by letting your local politicians know that you care and by following the campaign on Twitter."
It Starts with a Home is available for download at nifha.org.
REMOVED GIVES A VOICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES OF THE NI SOCIAL CARE SYSTEM
Clanmil Housing Group welcomed local people to short performances of part of the play 'Removed' at the Lillian Bland Centre on the Ballyclare Road, STEP: The Junction in Dungannon,, the Curzon Apartments on the Ormeau road and Bessbrook Community Centre Newry, followed by a post-show discussions.
Michael Brady MP, Cllr Roisin Mulgrew, Clare McCarty Clanmil Group Chief Executive, Sintija Jaunslaviete, Voices For Young People In Care (VOYPIC), Fionnuala Kennedy, The Playwright, Vanessa Haynes, Barnardo's NI and Judith from Home For Good, at Bessbrook Community Centre
Written by Fionnuala Kennedy, 'Removed' is the latest play by award-winning, Belfast based theatre company Prime Cut Productions. It tells the story of Adam, a young person who has grown up in the Northern Irish Social Care system.
"Adam is OK to share his story - really it's alright - it's OK that his life was turned upside down - and the social workers were nice, kinda - and the foster homes, well... and his baby brother Joe?"
'Removed' is based on interviews with young people with care experience who shared their personal stories with the playwright in collaboration with Voice Of Young People In Care (VOYPIC).
Fionnuala Kennedy said: 'Going into the interviews, my knowledge of the care system was really limited. Your ideas are informed by things you've overheard or assume. So we just started from the beginning: when young people are taken into care- that day or night or moment when you're removed from the familiar and brought into a system where it's difficult to have autonomy over your life, because, as a child, things are decided for you'.
Fionnuala continues: "The play is dedicated to all those making the lives of young people in care better - to the staff of VOYPIC and the many other organisations working with these young people, those incredible foster and adoptive parents who change lives every day, the social workers (the good ones!) navigating the system, but mostly, to those extraordinary young people who gave me their time and shared their stories, who are utterly inspiring and making a huge difference for children in care now, and in the future".
Clanmil Housing, Barnardo's NI, Home For Good and Arts & Business NI have partnered with Prime Cut Productions to deliver a series of free workshops, smaller performances of the show and post-show discussions exploring what it really means to be 'in care' and the realities of fostering.
Clare McCarty, Group Chief Executive at Clanmil Housing said: "At Clanmil we believe that everyone should have a good home where they feel safe and valued. We know that for some people that may be with a loving foster family who can provide the stability and support they need to thrive.
"By telling the story of young people in care, the 'Removed' play provides a window to their experiences that can help more people understand the difference that fostering and adoption can make in someone's life. We also hope that the performances and workshops will make people think seriously about whether they could offer a home to a young person who needs one."

Ergebnis der Bundestagswahl 2009
Die Bundestagswahl 2009 hatte folgendes Ergebnis:

Geschichte
Der Wahlkreis war bei der Bundestagswahl 1949 die Nummer 23 der niedersächsischen Wahlkreise. Danach erhielt er die bundesweite Wahlkreisnummer 45. Für die Bundestagswahlen 1965 bis 1976 hatte er die Nummer 34, bei den Wahlen 1980 bis 1998 die Nummer 28 und 2002 bis 2009 die Nummer 34. Seit 2013 trägt er die Nummer 33. Bei den Bundestagswahlen 1949 bis 1961 hieß der Wahlkreis Diepholz – Melle – Wittlage, bei den Wahlen 1965 bis 1976 Nienburg und bei den Bundestagswahlen 1980 bis 1998 Diepholz.

Ursprünglich umfasste der Wahlkreis das Gebiet der Landkreise Grafschaft Diepholz, Melle und Wittlage sowie vom Landkreis Nienburg das Gebiet der heute zur Gemeinde Stolzenau gehörigen Gemeinden Diethe, Fresdorf und Nendorf sowie das Gebiet der heute zur Samtgemeinde Uchte gehörigen Gemeinden Diepenau, Essern, Lavelsloh, Nordel und Steinbrink (heute: Gemeinde Diepenau), Harrienstedt, Huddestorf, Jenhorst, Kleinheerse und Raddestorf (heute: Gemeinde Raddestorf), Gutsbezirk Darlaten, Höfen, Hoysinghausen, Lohhof, Uchte und Woltringhausen (heute: Gemeinde Uchte) sowie Bonhorst, Brünninghorstedt, Großenvörde, Sapelloh und Warmsen (heute: Gemeinde Warmsen).

Vor der Bundestagswahl 1965 kam der gesamte Landkreis Nienburg zum Wahlkreis hinzu. Gleichzeitig erfolgte die Umbenennung des Wahlkreises in Nienburg. Obwohl die Landkreise Melle und Wittlage schon 1972 im Landkreis Osnabrück aufgegangen waren, gehörte ihr Gebiet noch bis einschließlich der Bundestagswahl 1976 zum Wahlkreis Nienburg. Erst im Zuge der Neuordnung der Wahlkreise vor der Bundestagswahl 1980 kam das Gebiet dieser beiden ehemaligen Landkreise zum Wahlkreis Osnabrück-Land. Gleichzeitig ging auch der Landkreis Nienburg an den neu geschaffenen Wahlkreis Nienburg – Schaumburg. Danach bestand der Wahlkreis lediglich aus dem Gebiet des nach der Kreisreform 1977 aus dem Landkreis Grafschaft Diepholz und dem größeren Teil des Landkreises Grafschaft Hoya gebildeten Landkreises Diepholz.

Vor der Bundestagswahl 2002 wurde das Wahlkreisgebiet erweitert und besteht seitdem in der eingangs beschriebenen Form.

The medieval world is one that still holds a great deal of fascination for people today. Both historians and those who simply love history find this world one that still calls to people. They also find it one that has much to teach modern people today about how to engage in useful self defense.
During this period of time, there was often a great deal of conflict. City states and nations disagreed over many issues including religion, population growth and the proper way to farm the land and feed the people most efficiently. One of the many items that was used back then to help defend varied territories is an item that is known as the trabuco. The trabuco was used for many activities.
While this machine was used for many things, it also had a primary purpose. That purpose was largely to help shock and awe the enemy. Masonry walls were a common form of defense back during this time period. This machine was often used to demolish such walls and create a space where it was possible for an invading army to sneak through this form of fortification according to pt.bab.la. The machine could also be used to hurl varied types of projectiles over the wall such as stones, making it possible for a leader and an armed force of men to begin the process of warfare even before they began to invade by scaring all those behind the walls.
The trabuco was in wide use in societies that were centered around the Mediterranean Sea. This an an area of well established history with many ancient societies that are still in existence today as well. The machine was used in societies that were often trade partners. Trade was common in this part of the world. Many local societies often traded items such as salt, wine and other goods from one part of the sea to the next. The use of this weapon helped in many ways according to mercadolivre.com.br. It allowed communities to expand into new markets around the area and begin to form the basis for modern societies.

Love & Liberation: Putting Immigrant Students on Road to Success
By United Way of King County, on January 11, 2023 | In Helping Students Graduate, News, Racial Equity, Success Stories
Even in communities most welcoming to immigrants and refugees, folks offer promises of a better life but scarcely provide services to make it possible. Since 2015, Yusif Bashir, a Somali Bantu from Kenya who came to the United States as a refugee, has worked to give immigrants in the Kent area a fighting chance at succeeding in America—with a primary focus on women and children.
In 2015, Bashir launched Falis Community Services in Kent to help support children and families in local school systems. Among the areas he sought to address: schools that are unequipped to either educate refugee students, communicate with their parents in any language besides English or understand the unique challenges that immigrant families face.
That's why Bashir turned to Love and Liberation, a series of afterschool programs launched by United Way of King County and more than a dozen BIPOC-led, community-based organizations to ensure that children receive an education that reinforces and engages them in their own history, race and culture.
Love and Liberation aligns with United Way's efforts to place children on a path toward success in education during the early learning years. Understanding that communities of color are best suited to lead the way in solving their problems, United Way supports the work of coalitions that include immigrant families who arrive in this country full of hopes for a better life only to find that services and resources are difficult to acquire.
Love and Liberation is designed to keep BIPOC youth engaged and to persist with their education. It helps build leadership development and advocacy skills by drawing strength from their identity, race and culture. Falis has used Love and Liberation to bolster youth programs launched in 2018 that began with monthly conversations led by youth and supported by adults.
At Falis, that means hosting a youth training program suited to the backgrounds, languages and cultures of immigrant families. The certification program includes training in leadership, problem solving, drop-out prevention, and communication between parents and youth.
Falis serves primarily Somali Bantu and other East African residents in the Kent community, but also works with the area's Indian population as well as recent newcomers from Afghanistan. Falis provides platforms for youth to discuss both the hopes for their futures as well the challenges of growing up in an unfamiliar land. It follows cultural norms of involving parents in every aspect of what is being taught to their children.
[Love and Liberation] has done so much for us, especially with school supplies, homework help, forming groups that help students do their homework, leadership classes, drop-out prevention and drug prevention.
Yusuf Bashir, founder and executive director, Falis Community Services
And it hopes to work with local school boards to help make assimilating into schools easier for children and parents—particularly those who don't speak English.
Bashir said that often students with English language barriers have become frustrated and drop out of school after struggling with assignments that were provided to them only in English. At Falis, he said, youth volunteers create space on WhatsApp that allows kids to post homework questions, get referral resources and navigate the school system. The result is that more students are inclined to stay in school.
Love and Liberation's impact on Falis Community Services, Bashir says, has been immeasurable.
"Love and Liberation is actually, you could say, the starting point for Falis Community Services," said Bashir, who named his organization after his older daughter, Falis, who is now a student at Western Washington University. He said Falis has helped more than 500 youth through its program.
Bashir added that before United Way's Love and Liberation program, Falis found it difficult to find local supports "for our youth—which have the lowest graduation percentage around the Kent area, live in low-income housing, and migrated to the country with parents who don't speak English and couldn't help their kids with their academic needs. Love and Liberation came in at the right time."
Falis Community Services programs have helped more than 500 youth.
Love and Liberation was launched as, not surprisingly, graduation rates for King County students of color have long stagnated. According to Communities Count, when gauging graduation rates by race and ethnicity, Black, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander students were less likely than their white counterparts to graduate from high school on time.
But Bashir can attest that behind those statistics are students eager to succeed in school but lack resources to do so. Some students who have benefitted from Falis Community Services have gone off to college and are eager to give back to their communities after graduation. He said that Love and Liberation has created an avenue to make that possible.
"[Love and Liberation] has done so much for us, especially with school supplies, homework help, forming groups that help students do their homework, leadership classes, drop-out prevention and drug prevention," said Bashir. "It also makes it possible for their parents to learn the same classes so they can work together to be successful at any school."

This guitar has a big full clear sound not typical of many ladder braced guitars. We have refretted it, made a new nut and saddle. The neck had been reset before coming to us so the action is perfect with proper saddle height. The guitar is stamped Made In The U.S.A.

Q: Best way to send a message to multiple children view controllers I implemented a custom UIViewController which has multiple child view controllers (mainly by using the storyboard's Container View but not only).
I'm wondering what is the best way for the "root" view controller to send a message to its children, taking into account that the child(s) view controller(s) concerned by the message sent is not necessarily a direct child of the "root" view controller ?
For example:

I want to send a message from #0 to view controllers #1 and #4. The naïve implementation is to iterate over the child of #0 and send them the message, like so:
for (UIViewController *childVC in self.childViewControllers)
{
    if ([childVC respondsToSelector:@selector(myMessage:)])
    {
        [childVC performSelector@selector(myMessage:)];
    }
}

But it simply doesn't work, because #3 will receive the message (or probably not if it is a UINavigationController and I'm calling a custom method) and don't propagate it to its children (here #4).
So is there a possibility to send a message to one's children, and let the message propagate through the UIViewController hierarchy ?
If not, an alternative would be to use the NSNotificationCenter, make the children interested in the message (#1 and #4) observe for a notification, and make the root view controller post a notification when necessary. But I find it a bit of an overkill only to dispatch a message to two children.

A: I tend to avoid NSNotificationCenter, because if one is not careful it will create a bit of Spaghetti Code. Still, in this case I would use it, because it's even more of a overkill to taking of the logic of how the message should propagate between the childsViewControllers and possibility the ochildsViewControllers's childs.

A: I think going through NSNotificationCenter is the best way to go. Each child view controller can decide for themselves what notifications they want to respond to; it takes the responsibility of filtering away from the object posting the notification.

*

*NSNotificationCenter

*And its Guide

A: You could also do something like this, but I'm not saying its a good idea:
@interface UIViewController (ReverseResponder)

- (void)reverseRespond:(SEL)selector withObject:(id)object;

@end

@implementation UIViewController (ReverseResponder)

- (void)reverseRespond:(SEL)selector withObject:(id)object
{
    if ([self respondsToSelector:selector]) {
        [self performSelector:selector withObject:object];
    }

    for (UIViewController* childViewController in self.childViewControllers) {
        [childViewController reverseRespond:selector withObject:object];
    }
}

A: You can access all of your children with self.childViewControllers, and pass a specific index to get to a particular child. To get to 4, you'll have to access 3's topViewController.
UIViewController *child4 = [(UINavigationController *)self.childViewControllers[2] topViewController];

Whether this is a good way to do this, depends on what you're trying to do. Why are you sending messages down to this level?

Want a smart grid? Maybe you can win one on 'The Price Is Right'
As California's new Advanced Clean Cars rules push electric vehicles one step closer to the mass market, could the smart grid be the sequel to 'California emissions'?
Chris Turner
February 2, 2012, 1:20 p.m.
CALIFORNIA (ZERO) EMISSIONS: The Nissan Leaf, one of the first market-ready cars to meet California's new emissions standards. (Photo: cliff1066/Flickr)
I'm not sure where this reference ranks on the dorky/kitschy/ironic-retro-cool spectrum just now, but in any case I have to confess that as a kid in the late 1970s I watched quite a bit of "The Price is Right," that cavalcade of retail-price estimation hosted for decades by Bob Barker. (I remember being particularly tickled as a preschooler by the game where this Swiss alpine cut-out figure climbed a mountain and often eventually tumbled off the cliff at the top based on how badly the price of various groceries was estimated – which among other things was my introduction to the concept of yodeling and to Swiss culture generally. But I digress.)
Anyway, like Daryl Hannah in "Splash," my young mind fixated on certain phrases, bits of consumer exotica that had no analog in my day-to-day life on a military base in smalltown eastern Canada. One such phrase was "California emissions." Every "NEW CAR!" unveiled on "The Price is Right" came with a laundry list of features breathlessly intoned by the announcer, and the list inevitably ended with "California emissions." I had no idea what emissions were and only the vaguest sense of where California was, but it sounded exciting nonetheless.
As I'd eventually learn, California emissions were an essential but deeply glamourless feature of every car sold in the state, owing to the fact that California's government started regulating the pollutants coughing out exhaust pipes in the late 1960s, far ahead of the rest of the U.S. (and much of the world). Fuel injection and catalytic converters, among other now-common emissions-scrubbing automobile features, began as responses to California emissions standards.
I embarked on this trip down game-show memory lane when I read the other day about another innovation from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with potentially far-reaching consequences. Last week, CARB approved new Advanced Clean Cars rules that strongly favor the sale of zero-emissions electric vehicles. According to the Rocky Mountain Institute, the new regime could mean one in seven cars sold in California will be an EV by 2025.
This is good news for electric car fans and clean-air enthusiasts alike, but its impact could be greater still. One of the most truly revolutionary sectors in the whole cleantech field is the smart grid – that merger of renewable energy, smart appliances and electric cars that promises to realign the making and use of electricity in the same way (and with some of the same tools) the Internet reinvented telecommunications.
One of the big caveats on smart grids, though, was the scale of the transformation. If power production, energy meters, appliances and cars all needed dramatic reconfigurations to get to the wild, future-tense compound benefits of the smart grid, then who was going to coordinate the shift? Who would jump first? California's Advanced Clean Cars rules might well have just given the automotive industry a big shove toward smart grids.
Not that California's the only jurisdiction where we're seeing movement. In fact, sunny California may be beaten to the pole position in the smart-grid race by windswept Denmark – particularly the tiny island of Børnholm, where the European Union has embarked on recent months on the most ambitious smart grid demo anywhere.
For full details on the project – EcoGrid EU, officially – you can check out the project website or this post at the IBM Research blog. Or, if you'd like a more entertaining and deeply Danish illustration of how it'll work, watch the video below, a scale model of the EcoGrid in Lego form:
California's still more than a decade from one-in-seven EV penetration and the time horizons for amping up EcoGrid from island to continental scale are at least as long, so the smart grid remains a future-tense thing – even more exotic than California emissions were to a kid staring up at the tube from a carpet in New Brunswick. But as the catalytic converter in my trusty 2003 Civic attests, whatever's under the hood in California often winds up driving everyone's car eventually.
