When I worked in an office, all I wanted was to stay at home on my couch. Six months into staying at home on my couch, I spent six hours crying on it because I couldn't take the solitude. I do not miss the commute, or having to fit in errands on my lunch break, or never being able to go to the dentist, or having my boss ask me every fifteen seconds why I was giggling when I was supposed to be blogging about a murder (probably I was watching a cute animal video because sometimes you need a break from murder), or feeling like my soul climbed out of my body at 2 p.m. when the coffee wore off but I still had to be at my desk for four more hours.
People with disabilities often face many challenges in their regular every day lives. The things we all take for granted the disabled struggle with everyday. One of the biggest obstacles the disabled job seeker faces is locating work from home jobs. Actually it's an obstacle we all have but the disabled are way more disadvantaged in this respect. So are there work at home options available to people with disabilities? We explored this very question and came up with some interesting findings.
Employees who telework may feel pressure to produce more output in order to be seen as valuable, and reduce the idea that they are doing less work than others. This pressure to produce output, as well as a lack of social support from limited coworker relationships and feelings of isolation, leads to lower job engagement in teleworkers.[34] Additionally, higher-quality relationships with teammates decreased job satisfaction of teleworkers, potentially because of frustrations with exchanging interactions via technology.[80] However, coworker support and virtual social groups for team building had a direct influence on increasing job satisfaction,[66][73] perhaps due to an increase in skill variety from teamwork and an increase in task significance from more working relationships.

Adaptive structuration theory studies variations in organizations as new technologies are introduced[54] Adaptive structural theory proposes that structures (general rules and resources offered by the technology) can differ from structuration (how people actually use these rules and resources).[44] There is an interplay between the intended use of technology and the way that people use the technology. Telecommuting provides a social structure that enables and constrains certain interactions.[55] For instance, in office settings, the norm may be to interact with others face-to-face. To accomplish interpersonal exchange in telecommuting, other forms of interaction need to be used. AST suggests that when technologies are used over time, the rules and resources for social interactions will change.[54] Teleworking may alter traditional work practices,[44] such as switching from primarily face-to-face communication to electronic communication.
Blogging is a great side hustle because you can do it at your own pace anywhere you want. It's not a quick and easy way to make money, but there are a lot of ways to make money side hustling while blogging. You can sell advertising, become an affiliate for other people's products, sell your own online product, and more. It does take time to build up an audience to be able to make a decent amount of money, but once you have a large following, you could earn over $15,000 per month or more (we do).
And while it will take time to build up a big-enough audience to attract advertisers and other ways to make extra income from your podcast, the opportunity is there. John Lee Dumas interviews entrepreneurs seven days a week for his podcast Entrepreneur on Fire and now makes more than $200,000 a month from it. In fact, John publishes all his income online and showed that he's made almost $13 million since launching in 2012.

In Australia, "Work from Home" debuted at number 39 on the ARIA Charts after its first week of release.[75] It climbed to number three in the fourth week, becoming their second top ten and first top five single in the country.[76][77] The song stayed in the charts for nearly thirty weeks. Since its release, the song has been certified quintuple platinum and has also become one of the best-selling songs by an all-female group there. A similar trend followed in New Zealand where the song debuted at number 21 on the Official New Zealand Music Chart after its first week of release.[78] It climbed to number two in the fifth week, becoming the group's first top-five single in the country.[79] "Work from Home" also became the group's highest peaking single in New Zealand, surpassing "Miss Movin' On", which peaked at number 27 in July 2013.[80] On April 15, 2016, it became their first number-one single in the country.[81] The single was certified double platinum, becoming the group's best-selling song, after "Worth It" was certified platinum.
Then once you've got your domain name and hosting sorted out, it's time to pick a CMS, or Content Management System, that will let you update pages, build your blog and integrate with all the other services you need. It's hard to go wrong with WordPress—the CMS powering close to a quarter of the internet. Keep in mind that eventually as you start growing traffic to your blog, you'll be wise to invest in a managed WordPress hosting plan, where all of the settings are custom-tailored and optimized to work particularly well with WordPress-powered websites.
Since work hours are less regulated in telework, employee effort and dedication are far more likely to be measured purely in terms of output or results. Fewer, if any, traces of non-productive work activities (research, self-training, dealing with technical problems or equipment failures) and time lost on unsuccessful attempts (early drafts, fruitless endeavors, abortive innovations) are visible to employers. Piece rate, commissions, or other performance-based compensation also become more likely for telecommuters. Furthermore, major chunks of per-employee expenses are absorbed by the telecommuter himself - from simple coffee, water, electricity, and telecommunications services, to huge capital expenses like office equipment or software licenses. Thus, hours spent on the job tend to be underestimated and expenses under-reported, creating overly optimistic figures of productivity gains and savings, some or all of those in fact coming out of the telecommuter's time and pocket.[citation needed]
The cash back industry is ruthlessly competitive, isn't it!? All of these apps want new users, which means you can load up on welcome bonuses. The Ibotta app is another opportunity to get a bonus: they are giving people $10 when they sign up. Unlike the other apps mentioned in this article, Ibotta specializes in getting you cash back at grocery stores.
Running a coupons website can be very lucrative. Find a coupon niche, select a WordPress coupon theme, and then display relevant coupons on your site. When your audience uses the coupon codes or discount links, you will earn an affiliate cut, for example, you could set-up a site dedicated to iHerb Coupons or add a page to your website with Web Hosting Promo Codes. Coupon websites are quite high maintenance as they need to be constantly updated with new offers. However, if you build up an engaged audience and allow them to post coupons and discounts they have found themselves, then quite quickly your workload will reduce.
Companies these days are expanding their office boundaries to incorporate the idea of working from home. These work from home companies offer employees flexible working hours, better pay and freedom from office walls. Even though the internet is flooded with many online jobs, there are some that offer better pay. Here is a list of work from home firms that are willing to pay $16 per hour or more for home-based jobs.
For those with a large Twitter following, you can make money from your Tweets alone with Sponsored Tweets. You could be paid for sharing a business's information, recommending restaurants or hotels, or tweeting pictures of you using or wearing products. As with all sponsored posts on social media, businesses will only be prepared to pay you to Tweet if you have a large following that you can influence. So work hard on building up a loyal fan base.

Now, I can take long walks whenever I want. I'm way more productive since I work when I'm feeling most inspired, outside the constraints of a 9 to 6. I save money on lunch and MetroCards and after-work beers I don't need. I miss the camaraderie of an office, but I don't miss the politics. Sometimes the best way to deal with working from home is to take note of the benefits. Once you're back to a regular work schedule/life, after all, you'll miss the midday naps.
If you fall into the former camp, good for you! If you're in the latter, though, consider investing in a planner or making a bullet journal. Keep a checklist of your to-dos, and give yourself a small reward (a piece of chocolate, a gold star sticker) when you cross off the whole list each day. "I use a planner every day," Saedi Bocci says. "I write down what my goals are for the next day. A planner can really help to keep you accountable."
"Work from Home" was ranked at number 14 on the 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time list, published by Billboard. S.J.H. dismissed the fact that the word "work" was mentioned "95 times" and added that the "repetition is part of its charm". J.H. finishes their statement saying that the group secured their biggest hit to date with "melodies that counter the blooping synths, punctuating a relatively sparse beat" and commended the equal delivery of each member, specifically Cabello, whose vocals contradict the "song's straightforward verses with acrobatic runs that bring it all home."[57]

FlexJobs CEO Sara Sutton Fell was profiled as the Fairygodboss of the Week, and she said remote work helps her get outside and stay active: "I live in Boulder, Colorado, with my two boys, so when I'm not working, I love to get outside for some activity, either with them or for a little solo time. We mountain bike and hike, and I also love hot yoga."
Amazon Mechanical Turk is a service that lets you make money online through doing paid microtasks. Each task is something simple that requires human interaction like rating search results, checking for the right spelling on search terms, categorizing the tone of an article, or even basic translating. You can do these tasks from anywhere you want and make money online from the world's largest e-retailer.
In bad weather, I have a habit of talking myself out of going outside, but you should not! Bundle up, walk around the block, walk in circles, walk to a coffee shop, walk to the drugstore, walk to the train and walk back without getting on. Some people find it helpful to go outside first thing in the morning, before sitting down to work; I prefer midday, but whatever you choose, do it before it gets dark. GET OUTTTTTTT. "Schedule breaks. When you have those breaks, get out of the house," Cavaiola says. "Take a walk, maybe go have coffee someplace, where you're going to have contact with others. This way you're not totally isolated."

A covert organization, deeply embedded in the American political establishment, is actively working to undermine a rational Middle East policy. With powerful lobbyists, a massive grassroots and campus presence, and seemingly limitless resources, this lobby aims to maintain American troops throughout the region, build up its weapons arsenal, and silence those attempting to assert their independence from its hegemonic rule.
However, lost in much of the conversation surrounding the book itself is a complex dynamic regarding Middle East power and influence in Washington. In fact, elements of the so-called Arab and Israel lobbies work in tandem to advocate militarist U.S. foreign policies. Standing in opposition to this formidable alliance—and playing no role in the "Arab Lobby"—are various Arab civil society groups and their allies in Europe and the United States, who are working to reduce the U.S. military presence in the region.
Characterizations of the "Israel Lobby"—such as Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer's depiction of a "loose coalition of individuals and organizations who actively work to steer U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction"—are often prone to criticism for oversimplification and excessive generalization.
Nevertheless, there is increasing acknowledgement among observers that the disproportionate political influence of U.S.-based organizations and individuals ideologically committed to Israel has led to an unbalanced U.S.-Israeli relationship that is hurting both U.S. interests and Israel's long-term security.
In response, a growing chorus of largely right-wing actors—including the likes of Bard, Daniel Pipes, and Steven Emerson—have sought to divert blame by conjuring an opposing boogeyman. Borrowing a tactic from the Walt and Mearsheimer playbook, these ideologues conflate a number of different political and economic groupings under the same heading: the Arab Lobby.
It makes little sense to lump together the energy and arms ambitions of states such as Saudi Arabia with organizations working to demilitarize the Middle East. Still, there is one component of this heterogeneous cluster that bears serious consideration, especially insofar as it appears to encourage U.S. militarism in the region in much the same way Israel's hawkish supporters do.
The influence of the oil-producing Arab states is beyond doubt. The Saudi regime has leveraged its vast wealth to retain its power, build its military capabilities, and solidify its status as a regional power. In September, the Obama administration proposed the largest arms sales in U.S. history to Saudi Arabia, including $60 billion worth of fighter planes, helicopters, and other assorted weapons.
Despite the rancor the proposed sale is causing in Congress, there appears to be bipartisan consensus that the weapons will benefit U.S. interests. Much like the U.S. multi-billion dollar annual military aid to Israel, the weapons are intended to help maintain the status quo in the region.
While in the past, notably in the 1980s, Israeli lobbying groups worked to stymie U.S.-Saudi arms deals, today the Saudi and Israeli governments frequently cooperate to maintain the current balance of power and secure steady U.S. military support. Eager to block the potentially destabilizing effects of Palestinian nationalism, the Saudis have consistently pressured Palestinian leaders to give in to Israeli demands. In addition, official Saudi media has been frequently criticized for its connections to the Israeli government, and several prominent Saudi sovereign funds have invested heavily in Israeli infrastructure.
If Saudis and Israelis appear more prone to cooperation than antagonism these days, the actual fault line of the lobbying conflict is not found in ethnicized lobbying arms connected to state geopolitics, but rather between pro-militarist forces and populist movements in the Middle East and their Western supporters. The fundamental error of Mitchell Bard's conception of the Arab Lobby is the association of disparate—and diametrically opposed—groups under a single umbrella, based on little more than a common language.
A far more accurate depiction of the battle over Middle East influence would place both Saudi Arabia and status quo forces in Israel on one side, advocating a steady import of advanced weapons, the perpetual presence of U.S. troops, and the stifling of democratic aspirations of oppressed majorities. On the opposing side would be activists and isolated politicians opposed to foreign occupations, militarization, and outside influence in the Middle East.
Of course, the homogenization of Arab political players is a common enough occurrence, but this particular conflation not only fails to take into account shared Arab and Israeli interests; it also delegitimizes other anti-militarist movements by fabricating an association that simply does not exist. Rather than sharing objectives, Saudi-led oil interests remain separate and distinct from organizations working toward greater popular empowerment and rights, including Palestinian national groups, human rights organizations, and opposition political parties.
The so-called Palestine Lobby wields no significant power, nor has it had much success in its efforts to improve relations with the U.S. policy establishment. Unlike other components of the "Arab Lobby," Palestinian activists are not well-funded or well-connected, do not employ entrenched lobbyists, and cannot hope to match the lobbying power of their opponents. These activists tend towards grassroots advocacy in their quest for greater balance in U.S. relations with the Israelis and the Palestinians—in fact, they are one of the few groups with legitimately anti-militarist ambitions in the Middle East. Tellingly, some factions of the pro-Palestinian movement have reserved their bitterest complaints not against Israel or the West, but other Arab states.
There is no Arab Lobby, at least not one that reflects Bard's vision. As wealthy Gulf States advocate for their own objectives, they have little time or patience for rabble-rousers attempting to "upset the boat." Israel is not a danger to Saudi Arabia, nor vice versa. But the governments of both these states along their supporters, in the pursuit of their ideological and material interests as well as encouragement of continued U.S. military intervention, pose a danger to civil society throughout the region.
Jewish organizations working for a demilitarized Middle East—such as J-Street, Israel Policy Forum, and Jewish Voice for Peace—should be similarly disaggregated from their more militarist counterparts. J Street in particular has been vociferous in its condemnation of the Israeli occupation and the use of overwhelming military force in Gaza. It should be noted, however, that J Street continues to support U.S. efforts to maintain "Israel's qualitative military edge" as "an important anchor" for the peace process.
A naive depiction of competing ethnic factions—Jews against Arabs—fails to provide a framework for understanding the diverse, cross-cutting goals of Arab-based organizations and their competing interests. The drive to militarize the Middle East stems from shared interests of entrenched powers, be they Israeli or Arab. The unfortunate victims of their militarized agendas and oil-influenced policies are the people of the region, from dispossessed Palestinians to discriminated Shi'a of Yemen.
The predilection of the U.S. government to flood the Middle East with ever-increasing supplies of weapons is closely linked to the lobbying efforts of hawkish "pro-Israel" groups and their right-wing Arab counterparts. The spiraling violence these policies have engendered continues to represent a serious liability to U.S. foreign policy objectives, comprehensive peace settlements, and of course the lives and livelihoods of besieged Arab populations.

Dave Chappelle wants to make sure you have a rocking New Year's Eve as the comic will be releasing his new special on Netflix. Dave Chappelle: Equanimity will drop on New Year's Eve – December 31, 2017.
This is Chappelle's third comedy special coming exclusively to Netflix in 2017. "The Age of Spin: Dave Chappelle Live at the Hollywood Palladium" and "Deep in the Heart of Texas: Dave Chappelle Live at Austin City Limits" debuted earlier this year. Netflix dropped a funny teaser trailer that's mashed up with Stranger Things, check it out below.


Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Wildlands is getting a special cross over event with The Predator. Starting December 14, players will be able to hunt down (or be hunted by) the Predator from the 1987 feature film starring Arnold Schwarzenneger. See how tough you really as you face off the otherworldly warrior. You can even bring your friends if you feel you are not up to the task in co-op mode. Ubisoft promises that he will not go down easy. Just like in the original movie, he can easily take down highly trained US Army Special Forces.
The Predator mode is available for all Ghost Recon Wildlands players for free, and players can earn special items if they are successful. One of these items is a Predator mask which grants the hunter's thermal vision abilities. A Predator Pack is also available for players. It features 15 new customization items, weapons, as well as a new melee move. Arnold Schwarzenegger's character "Dutch" unfortunately does not make an appearance in the game. However, a new PvP class that takes inspiration from his character will. It is part of the Ghost War pass or season pass. Users can also purchase the character directly via Prestige points.
Ubisoft is actually holding a live stream discussing The Ultimate Hunt event on their Twitch channel.

Q: Adding parameters to Spring MVC Interceptor I'm trying to achieve authorization for my RestAPI, by letting Spring's Interceptor's (HandlerInterceptorAdapter) PreHandle method check wether the user is in the required role, before the scope hits the requested action in the controller. This requires, however, that I provide each action (URL Path) with the ID of the role it requires. This is my current setup:
public class AuthorizationInterceptor extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter{

@Autowired
IUserService us;

    //before the actual handler will be executed
    public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response, Object handler, Integer roleId)
        throws Exception {

        String userId = request.getHeader("UserId");

        if(!us.isUserInRole(Long.parseLong(userId), roleId))
            return false;

        return true;

    }

}

And (a part of) the servlet-context.xml:
<interceptors>
    <interceptor>
        <mapping path="/" />
        <mapping path="/users/**" />
        <beans:bean class="com.lumi.api.interceptors.AuthorizationInterceptor"></beans:bean>
    </interceptor>
</interceptors>

My question is, wether I can pass in the parameter roleId with the bean in the servlet-context config. I can't seem to find anything in the docs. I think I once saw something like:
<mapping path="/" />
<parameter name="something" value="some value">

But i'm not sure.

A: You can simply set a property using a standard spring sintax, an example
<beans:bean class="com.lumi.api.interceptors.AuthorizationInterceptor">
   <beans:property name="roleId" value="REGISTERED_USER"/>
</beans:bean>

your interceptor should of course include the property, so simply
public class AuthorizationInterceptor extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter{

    private String roleId;

    public String getRoleId() {
        return roleId;
    }

    public void setRoleId(String roleId) {
        this.roleId = roleId;
    }

    // The rest of your code
}

Khan Market Feels In G-Town?
The idea is to recreate a sense of quaint charm and make it Gurgaon's Khan Market. Ahem, don't know how close they'll come, but for now, we're kicked about seeing 35 restaurants (including some Michelin star ones), shopping pop-ups, co-working spaces, high-street fashion brands and more set up shop here.
We already told you about Carnatic Cafe opening. Blue Tokai, Ping's Orient, Pot Belly, GreenR, ATM and Pinxto (French cuisine), Dough Boy (gourmet pizzas and burgers), Laut (a USA-based Michelin star, Malaysian cuisine brand) and The Clock Tower (a microbrewery, yay!) are other restaurants you can hope to see as time goes by. They're looking at 15 of these opening by mid-December.
Get our drift already? They're trying to become a young, hip hangout where office folk from nearby places can come work, grab lunch, drink beer after office – or just plan a family day out.
P.S. A little birdie tells us that we can hope to see a skydiving arena and an infinity pool in the future as well. Excited about meeting 32nd Avenue? We sure are.

Roger Ebert July 16, 1999
"The Wood" is a sweet, lighthearted comedy about three friends who stick together from high school until a wedding day. Nothing unusual about that, but these are African-American characters, and Hollywood seems incapable of imagining young black men who are not into violence, drugs and trouble. The black middle class, millions of Americans, is generally invisible to moviemakers, who retail negative images of life in the hood--often for the entertainment of suburban kids, white and black, whose own lives are completely different.
The movie's title provides a clue: the wood, not the hood. Apart from the obvious pun, it applies to Inglewood, Calif., where three friends meet in high school, date, have some narrow escapes from trouble and come of age. The film opens on the wedding day of Roland (Taye Diggs), and we meet his best friends Slim (Richard T. Jones) and Mike (Omar Epps), who narrates directly to the camera.
The wedding cake has arrived, but Roland is missing, and his buddies track him down to the house of a former girlfriend. He's terrified of marriage, and as his friends try to give him courage and make him presentable (he's been drinking), we get flashbacks to their younger days.
The flashback scenes, set in the '80s, are the real heart of the movie. As young men, the characters are played by Sean Nelson (Mike), Trent Cameron (Roland) and Duane Finley (Slim). And they're black teenagers like we rarely see in the movies: not angry, not alienated, not inarticulate, not packing guns, not into trouble--but sharing values, hopes and fears typical of any adolescent. Most black teenagers are like this, although you wouldn't guess it from the movies. They have a lot in common with the heroes of "American Pie," although they're not nearly as sexually sophisticated. (That's accurate, I think. Few porno stars have as much self-assurance as the kids in "American Pie." Amazing, that the "Pie" raunch fest and this much more innocent coming-of-age movie have the same R rating.) We join the three friends in various rites of passage. We see Mike getting a crush on a girl. Working up the nerve to ask her to dance. Not knowing what to say. Being encouraged by the girl's friendship--and yes, her sympathy. Getting in a playground fight with her brother. The girl Mike likes is Alicia (played as a teenager by the warm, supportive Malinda Williams), and there's a funny sequence which is a lot more accurate about early sexual experiences, I think, than "American Pie" will ever know.
There's another sequence that powerfully shows how close kids can come to getting in real trouble. The three friends are in a convenience store when it is stuck up--by someone they know but do not like. They do not support him, but are more or less forced to join him and a buddy in a car, which is soon stopped by the cops. A bust at that point would have forever altered their lives, giving them rap sheets as accomplices to armed robbery. Lives can be destroyed by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Although the adult stars top-line the movie, the flashback structure feels piled on top of the real story. The writer-director, a USC film school graduate named Rick Famuyiwa, would have been wise to dump the 1990s stuff altogether and stick with the kids in the '80s, although that would have cost him the marquee value of Diggs and Epps. The movie feels a little uncertain, as if it's moving from present to past under the demands of a screenplay rather than because it really feels that way. But the growing-up stuff is kind of wonderful.

106.1 BLI Summer Jam Takes Over Jones Beach!
June 2, 2014 secretfangirls 5 Comments
June 1st marked the official start of our summer concert season with 106.1 BLI's Summer Jam held at the Nikon Jones Beach Theater! The nearly 7 hour music festival featured a range of artists from Jason Derulo to Karmin, and Fifth Harmony to Cash Cash. We were most excited to see secretfangirls.com favorites Austin Mahone, Cody Simpson, Midnight Red, and AJR! We also discovered a new favorite artist to watch, New Hollow.
America's boy band Midnight Red kicked off the festival with their cover of Rihanna's "Diamonds" and heated up the stage with their hits "Hell Yeah" and "Take Me Home," complete with choreographed dance moves. (We highly approve!). Behind the guys were giant inflatable caricatures of each member.
New Hollow
New Hollow won us over instantly with their rocking cover of David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" – no easy task. Their original tracks like "She Ain't You" have a 90s grunge sound and since we love anything and everything 90s around here, we may have found our new favorite band. They were the only artist on the lineup that we weren't familiar with before the show and we're so glad we caught their set!
NYC-based indie pop band AJR played their biggest show to date to the crowd of nearly 15,000. We weren't sure how their music would translate in a stadium setting, but they looked and sounded amazing as always. We love how unique AJR's sound is – out of the 13 acts that performed, they had by far the most distinctive and original sound. We're sure they gained a lot of fans – the whole venue was clapping along to "I'm Ready!" We also love how they still set up their own equipment. And did anyone catch the "I'm Ready" banner flying around the stadium? They're total rock stars now!
We've been fans of Cody Simpson since we saw him opening for Big Time Rush at Jones Beach on their summer tour. His laid back Australian surfer vibe and sound are perfect for the venue (which if you haven't been to, is surrounded by water on 3 sides). While we were expecting him to dance more, especially following his stint on "Dancing With The Stars," we were pleasantly surprised to see his guitar playing skills showcased instead as he played both acoustic and electric during his set, which included his new single, "Surfboard". The crowd went wild for Cody and we're hoping he'll be back on another headlining tour soon! He's heading off to Europe this week for his Acoustic Sessions tour.
Of course the highlight of the evening was Austin MAHONE, who kicked off his set with a Banga Banga! We're still fangirling over the fact that he played "Secrets" (our theme song) and "Next To You" from his new EP, "The Secret". From Austin's crisp boy band dance moves to his flawless vocals, it's safe to say everyone at Jones Beach last night became a Mahomie! Austin also showed he's multi-talented, breaking out the acoustic guitar for "Shadow." He kept teasing the crowd with "one more song!" which thankfully turned into 4 more songs, including "MMM Yeah" and "What About Love." We're even more excited for his summer tour with The Vamps, because we just didn't get enough Austin last night!
BLI says they're hoping to bring Summer Jam back in 2015, to which we say "YES PLEASE!!" Except, can we maybe have it on a Saturday next year?
Be sure to follow 106.1 BLI, New Hollow, AJR, Austin Mahone, Midnight Red, Cody Simpson, and Secret Fangirls on Twitter for more updates!

There is nothing better than an outdoor summer concert, especially one at Jones Beach (seriously, what summer venue could be more perfect than one surrounded by water?). We were thrilled this morning when Long Island's 106.1 announced the return of Summer Jam! While we would have loved to go to Summer Jam back in the late 90s/early 00s, when it was last held, the lineup this year is not to be missed!
The show will be on Sunday, June 1st at Nikon Jones Beach Theatre, and includes many of our 2014 Artists to Watch! Check out the lineup below. Buy your tickets here!
Other performers include:
Emblem 3

Score, Save, and Zoom with VTech's Infant and Preschool Holiday Toys
Maddie Michalik |
Whether they're learning to shoot their first threes or are saving the world through imaginative play, VTech has your young tots covered for fun and educational toys this holiday season.
Scroll down to read about some of VTech's top infant and preschool toys, each offering tons of value for young, curious minds that will keep them active and encourage them to explore through play.
Gooooooooal!
With the Count & Win Sports Center, babies ages 1 and up can make baskets and score goals while getting the ultimate win: some learning time! The Sports Center requires a one-time assembly, comes with two balls, and features an arch with a soccer net attached to a basketball hoop and backboard. It has more than 65 songs, melodies, sounds, and phrases that will cheer kids along as they learn all about shapes, colors, numbers, and good sportsmanship.
The set is adorned with adorable graphics of animals playing sports, such as a soccer-playin' sloth and a basketball-weildin' giraffe. It also has buttons to press, gears that turn, and a trophy that slides up and down for babies to practice those fine-motor movements and dexterity. The Sports Center also features the cutest goalie, a friendly panda, who will also encourage kids with motivational sounds and phrases.
Your youngest ones will get up and moving — giving them some much-needed active play during the winter months when they normally wouldn't be able to play outside. They will exercise their legs and feet with the soccer ball, and get their tiny hands and arms working with the basketball. As they play, the animated LED scoreboard will keep score of goals and baskets, so young ones will start learning how to count.
Best of all, the Sports Center will grow with kids until they're 3 years old. As babies grow, the toy will grow along with them with two adjustable height levels. The Count & Win Sports Center is a slam dunk this holiday season.

Help! There's a kitten stuck in a tree! Good thing I know just the right people to help with the job — the Helping Heroes!
The Helping Heros Fire Station is made for kids ages 1.5-4 years and is packed with tons of role-play possibilities. The large firetruck has two modes — vehicle mode and fire station mode — and comes with an emergency vehicle, a helicopter, and two firefighter figures.
In fire station mode, Firefighters Frankie and Fiona sleep, relax, and work out with multiple levels. Cute details are embellished throughout the playset, like little tools, a helicopter pad, and a control station. Kids can place Frankie and Fiona on special Talking Point locations throughout the playset to hear phrases, music, and sound effects about their jobs, so they will learn all about what it takes to be a firefighter.
When it's time for action, kids can transform the fire station into a fire truck. The vehicle has working wheels, so kids can zoom straight to their emergency. Kids can press one of the three action buttons or pull up the extension ladder to save the day.
I love that this toy also highlights hometown heroes during a crucial time in which essential workers are celebrated and recognized nationwide.
Ages: 1.5+
Available: Amazon, Target, Walmart
Racers, start your engines! If your kids are big fans of Go! Go! Smart Wheels toys from VTech, then let me introduce you to the Ultimate Corkscrew Tower!
This 3-foot playset is definitely going to impress young kids ages 1-5 who have to stand on their tippy-toes to play with it. Heck, I'm impressed!
The Ultimate Corkscrew Tower comes with what feels like endless track that kids can lock in together in two configurations. They can stack the pieces on top of each other to form the corkscrew, or set them up side by side for a dual-track racing experience. It comes with a Rocky the Race Car SmartPoint vehicle, and the set is also compatible with all other SmartPoint cars.
Kids can place Rocky on the launcher and push on the trophy to send the car zipping down the tracks. In corkscrew mode, it's so fun to watch the car zoom down in a spiral. Watching it is pretty mesmerizing and might make ya kind of dizzy! In dual-mode, vehicles can go off-road with diversions down a secret path with a bumpy road, a switch track, trap doors, and off-road hazards.
Like other Go! Go! Smart Wheels sets, when Rocky or the other compatible vehicles go over a SmartPoint, the vehicles will interact with kids with fun phrases. The Go! Go! Smart Wheels Ultimate Corkscrew Tower plays three songs and six melodies as kids will learn about the letter "R."
From whizzing vehicles down a spiral track to always being ready to go on a rescue and getting up moving, VTech has a toy for every kid this holiday season!

I've tried various env variables.  I am wondering if I need to install / compile some other boost thing?  I have some libboost* in /usr/lib
Any suggestions on things to try would be appreciated.

A: JJ- thanks for the input.  I was digging around in those .cmake files last night.  I should have mentioned that overtired = overlooked.
in the many apt-get commands i ran, i ran the following:
apt-get install libboost1.40-dev
apt-get install libboost-thread1.40.0

I then decided to try:
apt-get install libboost-thread-dev

Then for good measure, rebooted.
Now its getting past THAT issue.  On to the next one!

A: I spent quite sometime to build cgal a while ago. I don't remember the details anymore, but below is some of my notes. Hope it can help you. I was using boost 1.47. Obviously, I had the same problem as you have now, and it definitely is fixable.
-JJ
CGAL:

cmake -G "MSYS MakeFiles"
  modify the CMakeCache.txt, set the boost include directory, which would be in the local/include of msys
  May also need to modify Cmake/modules/FindBoost.cmake, if you have trouble finding boost_thread library
  I also set the env variable: BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=D:/pgroute/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/lib
  Also modify the FindBoost.cmake, added 1.47 and 1.47.0 to the version list
  make

"During an emergency preparedness to address children what would be useful to estimate the number of children's can suffer from Severe acute malnutrition, knowing that there was an MUAC screening in the last 1 month, which has population with high rates of GAM"?
The action plan is for the next 6 months.
Is it correct to use the formula below?
Is that applicable to use the prevalence from MUAC screening in the formula?
Knowing that the estimation is for the next 6 months, is that correct to divide the results of the operation by 2, so that we can get the number for 6 months?

Historic Districts: The Past or The Future?
by Richard Reep 08/04/2015
Preservation seems like an easy idea to support. Who would be against it? History, character, and a sense of place are what great communities are all about. They generate tourism and makes us all culturally richer. Landowners in historic districts even enjoy higher land values than nearby landowners in newer, usually blander developments. What's not to like?
Apparently, a lot. Cities unilaterally impose ordinances from time to time, regulating building size, shape and use, and rarely are there complaints, although the changes affect everyone in the city. Here in Florida, building codes were recently stiffened, causing buildings in the entire state to become more expensive, and there were no complaints to speak of. But in the small community of Winter Park, when a proposal was floated to make obtaining historic district status less onerous, indignant protesters with cries of "property rights" were voiced. Protesters who were shy about fighting the State and the City may have finally found, in individual neighborhoods, a small enough foe to bully.
Protesters claim that they fear restraint of trade, and they're hoping to cash in on rising land values, particularly where they have been historically low. A historic designation might make an owner think twice before knocking a house down.
There's mirth in Cyria Underwood's eyes as she tells us about coming here to Winter Park from Louisville, Kentucky. A tall, elegant African American woman, Underwood works at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, and observes Winter Park's preservation battles like this: "Black people have an oral history tradition, and it's a good thing we do. We don't expect our own buildings to get preserved. So here on the West Side, we hand down our oral history from mother to child, father to son. It'd be nice to see preservation taken seriously," she muses, her eyes still smiling, "but African Americans have learned to make do without it."
Interest rates remain low. In neighborhoods like the West Side, where Cyria works, owners feel the pressure to sell. Hannibal Square, built originally for blacks in the 1880s, today houses a mix of families, some of whom go back to the town's early days. Walkability, playgrounds and parks make this a dream community for urbanists; many residents ride the buses that travel up and down Denning Avenue, and Sunrail's Winter Park Station is a couple of blocks away. Finally, it seems, this area has come into its own and become a hip, urban community at long last.
"However," murmurs Cyria, her eyes twinkling, "the wolf is at the door." She's referring to developers who buy small houses on small lots and replace them with much larger homes, townhomes, and even multifamily clusters. West-siders have been clinging on by the skin of their teeth. Service jobs with modest incomes and part-time work (much of it a long bus ride away) have kept this neighborhood afloat. While land values all around have skyrocketed, the West Side — historically African-American — has not been rewarded with such good fortune. Property values are, to put it politely, stable.
Fairolyn Livingston moved out of the West Side in the '70s, but comes back frequently. She explains that when a West Side homeowner sells, he or she walks off counting the cash. But Livingston cites more than one seller who couldn't replace the Winter Park lifestyle with the proceeds from his or her home, and ended up moving into poorer and even less upwardly mobile parts of town. So goes gentrification: the new buyer, often white, unwittingly banishes an African American family to a lower stratum, hardening class divisions.
Livingston is candid about the younger newcomers. Asked whether they join the neighborhood churches, she chuckles. "Oh, no. There's no interaction with our community." The new buyers, however, benefit from the short walk to Park Avenue's chic restaurants and shops, and can Sunrail to happy hour downtown. The West Side's character, meanwhile, dissolves under the homogenous new face of urban America, where everywhere resembles everywhere else.
Cyria Underwood, Fairolyn Livingston and many others are unworried about the preservation battles being waged in Winter Park right now. This is not surprising: preservation of the West Side has not been high on the City's agenda. The same development pressures are being fought all over.
Locally, Friends of Casa Feliz, a Winter Park preservation organization, will be co-hosting a West Side History panel discussion this autumn to help keep what is left of the architecture.
It's part of keeping a conversation going about the local urban future. Historic districts come into being in most places with a simple majority, but Winter Park's requirement of a supermajority makes them difficult and rare. Protesters against preservation see this as just fine, and do not want property rights to change.
While he isn't a vocal protester, realtor Mark Squires is a realist. With a Clark Gable smile and wink, he is a true denizen of Winter Park real estate. "Everyone wants historic character," Squires offers, "but nobody wants to pay for it." Smaller, older homes have tiny kitchens and bathrooms, and are often hard to maintain. Squires and his colleagues find that, for many young couples with kids, Winter Park's lifestyle is in high demand. The last thing on their busy agendas is fixing cast iron pipes or repainting wood trim. Many buyers want new, as the developers, builders, realtors and lenders are well aware. Every home becomes a potential knockdown, if the price fits the formula.
Squires' local reality is that historic preservation, while it might make everyone a little better off, makes home sales harder. Our local economy is geared towards short-term private profit, and the notion that preservation can also be profitable is rarely considered. While developers in Boston, Chicago, and elsewhere have proven that historic preservation can make money, it has yet to be seen as a both/and proposition in Central Florida. City Hall dithers over the proposed historic district ordinance while the bulldozers roll.
Underwood is philosophical about it. "Willing seller, willing buyer, you know? You can't control what someone does after you go." Rich or poor, the same argument applies. The individual decides whether to push the easy button and go for new, or save a little bit of quality for future generations.
The current wave of transactions, fueled by low interest rates and demand for in-town living, is recasting the character of her neighborhood, as well as of the more affluent areas of the East Side. If the City Commission votes to ease historic district formation, perhaps there will be more than just oral history to remember Old Winter Park by. If not, and more bungalows succumb to the McMansion, we'll all just have to huddle up around her chair and ask for stories about the buildings that used to be here, and the people who lived within them.

A linen-backed UK 1-Sheet for the 1967 crime-drama "Five Golden Dragons". The film was set & filmed in Hong Kong. Although the Quad poster was illustrated by Chantrell, the 1-Sheet is by another artist, possibly Eddie Paul (see Sim Branaghan's book "British Film Posters" 2006). The poster presents dramatic imagery, subtle use of colour & is a very effective piece of advertising.
Apart from linen-backing the poster has had minor touch-in to foldlines but currently presents in excellent condition.
