National Forest System lands in the Blue Mountains region support a diversity of important native aquatic species that will be affected by climate change. As part of the Blue Mountains Adaptation Partnership, four of these species (spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Walbaum in Artedi), bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus Suckley), summer steelhead (O. mykiss Walbaum), and interior redband trout (O. m. gibbsi Suckley) were selected for climate vulnerability analysis because of their important role in land management planning (e.g., grazing, timber harvest, Endangered Species Act consultations). These species occupy a broad range of aquatic habitats from small headwaters tributaries to large rivers, both within and downstream of the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests. Although habitats for the selected species overlap in places, each species uses a unique set of aquatic habitats in the Blue Mountains national forests and their associated subbasins, depending on their life stage, season of the year, and available habitat conditions. These species have a diverse array of life history strategies, including anadromy (steelhead and spring Chinook salmon), fluvial and adfluvial movements (bull trout), and residency (bull trout and redband trout).

Find sources: "Boilerplate code" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (May 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In computer programming, boilerplate code or just boilerplate are sections of code that have to be included in many places with little or no alteration. When using languages that are considered verbose, the programmer must write a lot of code to accomplish only minor functionality. Such code is called boilerplate.[1]
The need for boilerplate can be reduced through high-level mechanisms such as metaprogramming (which has the computer automatically write the needed boilerplate code or insert it at compile time), convention over configuration (which provides good default values, reducing the need to specify program details in every project) and model-driven engineering (which uses models and model-to-code generators, eliminating the need for boilerplate manual code).
2 Preamble
3 In object-oriented programming
4 HTML
Origin[edit]
Further information: Boilerplate (text)
The term arose from the newspaper business. Columns and other pieces that were distributed by print syndicates were sent to subscribing newspapers in the form of prepared printing plates. Because of their resemblance to the metal plates used in the making of boilers, they became known as "boiler plates", and their resulting text - "boilerplate text". As the stories that were distributed by ready plates way were usually "fillers" rather than "serious" news, the term became synonymous with unoriginal, repetitive text.[2][3]
A related term is bookkeeping code, referring to code that is not part of the business logic but is interleaved with it in order to keep data structures updated or handle secondary aspects of the program.
Preamble[edit]
One form of boilerplate consists of declarations which, while not part of the program logic or the language's essential syntax, are added to the start of a source file as a matter of custom. The following Perl example demonstrates boilerplate:
use warnings;
The first line is a shebang, which identifies the file as a Perl script that can be executed directly on the command line (on Unix/Linux systems.) The other two are pragmas turning on warnings and strict mode, which are mandated by fashionable Perl programming style.
This next example is a C/C++ programming language boilerplate, #include guard.
#ifndef MYINTERFACE_H
#define MYINTERFACE_H
This sets up, and checks, a global flag to tell the compiler whether the file myinterface.h has already been included. As many interdepending files may be involved in the compilation of a module, this avoids processing the same header multiple times (which would lead to errors due to multiple definitions with the same name).
In object-oriented programming[edit]
In object-oriented programs, classes are often provided with methods for getting and setting instance variables. The definitions of these methods can frequently be regarded as boilerplate. Although the code will vary from one class to another, it is sufficiently stereotypical in structure that it would be better generated automatically than written by hand. For example, in the following Java class representing a pet, almost all the code is boilerplate except for the declarations of Pet, name and owner:
public class Pet {
private Person owner;
public Pet(String name, Person owner) {
this.owner = owner;
public void setName(String name) {
public Person getOwner() {
return owner;
public void setOwner(Person owner) {
Most of the boilerplate in this example exists to provide encapsulation. If the variables name and owner were declared as public, the accessor and mutator methods would not be needed.
To reduce the amount of boilerplate, many frameworks have been developed, e.g. Lombok for Java.[4] The same code as above is auto-generated by Lombok using Java annotations, which is a form of metaprogramming:
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
@Setter
In some other programming languages it may be possible to achieve the same thing with less boilerplate, when the language has built-in support for such common constructs. For example, the equivalent of the above Java code can be expressed in Scala using just one line of code:
case class Pet(var name: String, var owner: Person)
Or in C# using Automatic Properties with compiler generated backing fields:
public class Pet
public string Name { get; set; }
public Person Owner { get; set; }
HTML[edit]
In HTML, the following boilerplate is used as a basic empty template and is present in most web pages:
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title></title>
The WHATWG HTML Living Standard defines that the <html>, <head> and <body> tags may be safely omitted under most circumstances.[5] The <meta charset="UTF-8"> tag may also be omitted if the Web server is properly configured to send the character encoding along with the content type.[6] Google's HTML/CSS style guide recommends that all optional tags be omitted,[7] resulting in a much more compact boilerplate:
Directive (programming)
General-purpose macro processor
Library (computer science)
Macro (computer science)
Snippet (programming)
Template engine (web)
Template processor
Web template system
Scaffold (programming)

Thomas Vaux, 2nd Baron Vaux, in full Thomas Vaux, 2nd Baron Vaux of Harrowden, (born 1510—died October 1556), one of the early English Tudor poets associated with Sir Thomas Wyatt and the Earl of Surrey.
Vaux accompanied the lord chancellor Thomas Cardinal Wolsey on his embassy to France in 1527 and attended King Henry VIII to Calais and Boulogne in 1532. Created a Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Anne Boleyn (1533), he was captain of the Isle of Jersey until 1536.
Vaux's two best-known poems, included in Richard Tottel's Miscellany (1557), are "The aged lover renounceth love" and "The assault of Cupide upon the fort where the lovers hart lay wounded, and how he was taken." The Paradyse of daynty devises (1576) contains 13 poems signed by him.

Authorities to put lid on B/E defaults
published : 28 Mar 2017 at 06:00
writer: Nuntawun Polkuamdee
The Thai Bond Market Association (TBMA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are trying to find out the value of non-rated bills of exchange (B/Es) held by high-net-worth investors in efforts to stem continued defaults of the short-term debt instrument.
Neither the SEC or the TBMA have any data on non-rated B/Es offered to high-net-worth investors or the value of defaults as current regulations do not require these debt instruments be registered with the TBMA, said Ariya Tiranaprakit, TBMA's executive vice-president.
She, however, estimated that non-rated B/Es account for half of the total B/Es or around 200 billion baht.
Nation Multimedia Group Plc (NMG) emerged as the first non-rated B/E issuer which failed to redeem the debt instrument on the due date last October after its board of directors failed to reach quorum, as the SEC had previously banned eight of its members. But the SET-listed publisher of The Nation and Krungthep Thurakit daily newspapers, which also operates two digital TV channels through subsidiaries -- Nation Broadcasting Co runs Nation TV and Bangkok Business Broadcasting Co manages Now 26 TV -- later paid off the debt.
Shortly after NMG's unrated B/E default, other listed companies -- KC Property Plc, Inter Far East Energy Corporation Plc, E For L Aim Plc (EFORL) and Rich Asia Corporation Plc -- also failed to redeem their non-rated B/Es, triggering fears that the flurry of defaults would snowball into a crisis.
The latest non-rated B/E defaulter is Wuttisak Clinic. The beauty clinic chain, which is a subsidiary of SET-listed EFORL, missed a payment to redeem two series of B/Es amounting to 250 million baht the week before last.
The series of defaulters have prompted the SEC to tighten regulations governing non-rated and non-investment-grade bonds by limiting each intermediary, including asset management companies, to holding one-third of each issue and barring them from being the issuer's major creditor.
Ms Ariya said the B/E defaulters are small companies and the number of new issuers have declined as investors' risk appetite for the debt instrument is decreasing.
But large companies and those which have been B/E issuers continue to sell the instrument as there is demand for B/Es being offered by issuers with good payment track records, she said.
In another development, Ms Ariya said capital flight has been detected in the Thai bond market this month after the US Federal Reserve signalled more interest rate hikes are around the corner. This year there have been net fund inflows worth 40 billion baht to the Thai bond market.
Meanwhile, Sarat Chatsuwan, an executive vice-president of Tisco Asset Management, said investors should shy away from long-term bonds because of the risk of interest rate hikes, while short-term bonds are still investable. Equity is expected to offer higher returns this year and Asia countries are projected to contribute to the biggest returns as their economic growth is higher than other areas, he said.


Search engine optimization is the process used to increase your website's ranking on the search engines people use—websites like Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Who uses search engines? According to a recent Pew internet study, 73% of all Americans use a search engine to find information online. From that group, 75% of internet users never scroll past the first page of results. Here's another startling statistic: the #1 ranked website on Google typically gets 30% of the traffic. Those statistics tell the story: the average user is not going to keep going through page after page of search results. They're busy. If your business website is on the second or third page, consumers are not going to find it using a search engine—meaning you are missing the opportunity to get their traffic and their business.
How does search engine optimization benefit my business?
So how does search engine optimization help your website? How are you going to make sure that your website is ranked high on Google, Bing and Yahoo? KD Interactive uses search engine optimization to ensure that your website is ranked high on the top search engines—so people see your business website right away. Do you want local customers? KD Interactive can make sure that you are reaching the customers in your community that you want to reach. That means that the website you've worked so hard to design is going to have a higher chance of getting traffic, meaning more potential customers from the web!
Your business is on a budget. We get that. At KD Interactive, we have options for every business budget that meet the needs of your business and your bottom line.
Those sure are some startling statistics and those numbers are only going to go higher. Nice website and thanks for the great information!

Basinskii SN, Krasnogorskaia VN, Lenis IuA.
Picamilon was used in the treatment of 48 patients with central chorioretinal dystrophies. In group 1 (34 eyes) the drug was delivered to the posterior pole of the eye through an infusion collagen system, which was followed by He-Ne laser exposure. In group 2 (46 eyes) the patients were given picamilon tablets. The following examinations were carried out in all patients before and immediately after treatment: evaluation of visual acuity, borders of peripheral visual field, critical frequency of fusion of flashes, visocontrastometry, electroretinography with consideration for pathological changes in the retina, rheography, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Electric sensitivity and electric lability of the retina were evaluated and the function of the off/on channels examined. Subjective and objective parameters improved both in the first and second groups (in 98 and 65%, respectively). Picamilon promoted extension of the peripheral borders of visual field, improved contrast sensitivity, and increased the velocity of the sensorimotor reaction, which indicated improvement of interactions between neurons and of receptor function.

Internet Gravitation Olya Harizanova Abstract In the last time Internet is becoming a major medium for work, entertainment or contacts and linking more users. The truth is that on the one hand the Internet is a product of man and develop thanks to him. On the other hand, the Network already "live" own life but flawlessly attracts human beings by providing a comfortable environment for the generation and transfer of data and content. A problem is increasingly difficult to distinguish among reality and the virtual simulation. The boundaries between the visible physical and the visible virtual is blurring and create customized parallel worlds. The availability of customized parallel spaces leads to a feeling of freedom and / or power but provoke self-sufficient existence and closing in these worlds.

Q: Horizontally concatenating dataframes gives unexpected numbers of rows I have two data frames. One is df_1 - 217*9 size and another one is df_2 - 217*5. I want to concatenate them horizontally. Note that there is no key column. I tried to concatenate them using the following code
df = pd.concat([df_1, df_2], axis=1, ignore_index=True)

But I am getting the resulting one with 256*22 size and with unexpected results. I just need to concatenate them horizontally. What would be the issue here?

A: I think the problem is the index of your two data frames that are not distinct.
By giving ignore_index=True while having axis=1 it will only ignore the column-indices, not the row indices.
You could try resetting the indices while concatting like here:
pd.concat([df_1.reset_index().drop("index", axis=1), df_2.reset_index().drop("index", axis=1)], axis=1)
Edit: I've seen, that you accepted the answer before my last edit. My first solution still had a problem though: Leaving the ignore_index=True led to additional columns and when setting it to False, there were the index-columns multiple times included. I changed the code a bit to drop those new index columns. That might not be the best solution but I think it works.

Fernando Torres has netted three times since he completed his emotional return to Atletico Madrid earlier this month - and all within 50 seconds of the first whistle or the start of the second half.
The former Chelsea striker is beginning to rediscover some of his best form - which he enjoyed during his spell at Liverpool - and, when he scored 40 seconds into the Copa del Rey quarter-final second leg with Barcelona on Wednesday, he had his third goal from just three shots on target since returning to the Vicente Calderon.
The 30-year-old's first two strikes came against Real Madrid in the second leg of the previous round of the competition - both at the Bernabeu.
Since his return to Atletico, Fernando Torres has netted three times and it seems he love scoring within the first 50 seconds of any half of football he plays.
Incredibly, just 49 seconds into the 2-2 second-leg draw with Atleti's bitter rivals, Torres slotted home past Real keeper Keylor Navas.
Then, just 35 seconds into the second half, Torres was again fed through by team-mate Antoine Greizmann and he found the back of the Real net once more.
A return of just one goal in four months at AC Milan had preceded his return to the club who nurtured him, yet Torres has netted three times in quick succession since arriving back at Atletico.
It seems as if the loan back to a club who he knows so well - and where he is adored - has done him the world of good.
Torres' career had hit a rut following his £50million move to Chelsea from Liverpool in 2011 and it seemed as if he would never recapture the goal-scoring touch that saw him net 38 times in his 110 international matches for Spain to date.
But three goals in the Copa del Rey have seemingly revitalised Torres and put his career back on track.
And all of them have come almost straight from kick-offs - meaning it seems that the Spaniard's sharpness is finally beginning to return.


Fona electronics chain is now closing 25 stores, while 31 stores will be allowed to continue during the reconstruction.
300 of the 975 employees in Fona will be redundant, writes Pernille Bigaard and Ole Borch, the lawyers in charge of the restructuring.
They expect to have a clarification within the next four weeks and will not comment on the expectations of the outcome. Repairs and service concept Elektronik-centeret is already announced to be closed.
Meanwhile, a lot of speculations go on which companies that might be interested in the chain. Question is who would be interested to go for a cityconcept while there is a price war in the industry taking place.
ScandinavianRetail.com has previously written that the most likely new owner is Elkjøp/Elgiganten backed by its owner DixonsCarphone that already owns 40 percent of Fona and is the main distributor today. That would give Elgiganten a tight grip and a strong multichannel offer in Denmark similar to the structure in Norway and Sweden. The phonehouse concept in these countries has on the other hand much smaller sized stores compared to Fona.
Expert, which is looking for expansion and confrontation with Elgiganten in Denmark with the Power chain, has similar store sizes and a ready concept that is tried out in Norway and Finland. That would most likely lead to Elkjøp selling off its share of the company. But Expert decided to close a lot of mid-sized stores when launching the Power-concept. Euronics is a third option.
Media-Saturn, with Media Markt and its sister concept for citycentres and malls Saturn, is already struggling with Sweden and has hard times competing with Elgiganten. It is also hard to expect any single brand or online player to be interested in taking over operations in so many stores at once, even Apple-specialists as Humac.
Last option is a chain in a completely different category.

In the Eye of the Beholder
I am a social/personality psychologist interested in the links between cognition and motivation. Much of the research in my laboratory focuses on laypeople's implicit theories. Current projects investigate implicit theories about
1. the fixedness/malleability of human traits
2. human genetic variation
3. the ingredients that make an act intentional.
My students and I investigate how such beliefs influence basic attribution and stereotyping processes, as well as moral reasoning.

If your child has some problem with remembering things, feeling sleepy while studying or forgetting things very often, it could be due to the poor concentration abilities. Today, it has become a common problem because of the highly stressful environment where work pressure is mounting like never before and people do not have the time to take proper care of their children.
Keep Away Distractive Things Anything that distracts kids a lot should be kept away from them like a comic book or a toy. Even mobile phone or any eye catchy gadget should be away from them as these are highly addictive things and major hindrance to build concentration.
Well balanced diet Children should be introduced to a well-balanced diet and stay away from packed foods and cola drinks. They should be given fruits, vegetables and fish rich in omega 3 that help in building mental strength.
Yoga and Meditation It is believed that meditation has positive effect on children. Before considering this option, make sure that you consult a yoga expert who also trains children.
Memory Enhancing Games There are memory enhancing games available that are fun to play. They are really good and interesting. You can also find some of these games online. However, help your child try to refrain from too much exposure to smartphones, tabs and laptops.
Avoid Stress Make sure that your child remains stress free. It is very important that they are not overworked for any physical activity or mental exercise. Otherwise, they may lose interest in things and get distracted. So, the moment you feel the child is getting irritated, it's time to stop to keep him stress-free.
Follow a Fixed Routine Create a schedule that your child has to follow every day. This will help in letting your child know when he has to do a particular thing such as when to study or when to play. They will automatically get in that mood which will help in increasing concentration.
Break a Bigger Task into Smaller Tasks A big task might be overwhelming for your child. Try to divide the task that requires more time and concentration into small and manageable tasks. Completing a small task will give your child a feeling of accomplishment and will motivate them to continue doing the bigger task at hand.
Let Them Do One Thing at a Time Multitasking can reduce the concentration level of your child. Ask your child to do one thing at a time. Set aside a fixed amount of time for your child to focus on a specific task. Make sure TV, phone, and laptop are kept away while they are concentrating on their homework.
Allow Some Distraction Time Before Starting a New Task Ask your child to do something different once they have completed a task. They can get up, take a break, and move around the house before starting a new task. This will help them concentrate better on the next task.
Apart from the aforementioned points, it is also necessary that children get attention from their parents. They must be told and also made to feel that they are very precious to their parents. If you follow these tips with full determination, you will get to see positive changes in your child.

Accommodating Indigenous students' cultural resources in science classrooms
Philemon Chigeza
The author takes two Year 9 science classes, composed entirely of Torres Strait Islander students, at a school in Far North Queensland. In 2007 and 2008 he introduced elements of Indigenous language and culture into the classes, and conducted a study measuring their impact on students' science learning. These resources include storytelling, ceremony, songs and ritual, as well as the diversity of their languages and dialects through which the students communicate and share knowledge. The article describes some ways in which these students' multiple strengths were brought to bear during four learning activities based around the concepts of energy and force.

The girls at Oh My Crafts were so sweet and sent me a little package of fun things recently. My most favorite was the Martha Stewart fringe scissors. I could not wait to get my hands on them and instantly wanted to cut everything in sight into the perfect fringy mess.
I have a few fun projects in mind with these but couldn't help but whip together this silly and whimsical Easter project using a recycled soup can and simple tissue paper. I thought these would be a great way to present a friend or your kids teachers with some pretty flowers this Spring.
Make some little bunny ears using two pipe cleaners and then tie a knot at the bottom with the fabric scraps and wrap up the entire length of the ears covering the entire thing.
Next measure out a folded piece of tissue paper to fit around your can and using the fringe (or other) scissors cut fringe along the top to make the grass.
Tape the tissue paper down and then add a bow with more fabric scraps or a doily and bow like I did in the finished project.
Lastly I taped the bunny ears inside the can with some heavy packing tape to keep them secure and protect them a bit from the water.
Fill the can carefully with some water and pretty Spring flowers and your all set. Could be a cute center piece for an Easter brunch too - just a silly little Easter craft to get your juices flowing today.
And as an added bonus Oh My Crafts also sent me a $25 gift certificate for one lucky reader to purchase some fun crafting supplies too. To enter you need to "like" the Oh My Crafts facebook page HERE and sign your name in the comments below. Extra entries given to fans of A Bit of Sunshine so let me know in a separate comment if you "like" my page too or if you follow via google friend connect or reader.

NATOP petition and maligning of tourism personalities…(2nd part of 1)
Ikechi Uko, organiser, Akwaaba African Travel Market
By Ikechi Uko
The last agenda for the day was elections of New Executives.
Because of the prevailing Rumour that the President has Procured all the new Members to Vote for Ime Udo the General Secretary it was agreed that all new Members who have spent less than 2 years should leave the hall. This was resisted by the new Members especially by the Abuja members who suspected that it was a ploy by The Lagos people to rig their Candidate out of the Election
They were persuaded by The President of FTAN Alhaji Rabo Saleh to obey the rules. The Election took place after the President stepped down and handed over to the BOT and Observers to Conduct the Election.
Out of the over 50 members present only 10 were eligible to Vote or be Voted for going by the 2 year rule.
3 candidates indicated interest in the Presidency
Mr. Abiola Lawal, Ime Udo and Hajia Bilkisu Abdul.
Hajia Bilkisu Abdul got the most eligible votes.
Abiola Lawal and Ime Udo went into the Election for Vice President and Ime Udo won all the eligible votes.
This election results were accepted by Candidates and Mr. Abiola Lawal.
Coup Attempt
Sometimes last year some members set up a secret WhatsApp group to unseat the Executives and in their Words retire all other members and install themselves. They shared the executive positions amongst themselves and set to Work in damaging the names of any person perceived to be Strong enough to stop them. They set up a story that the President wants to install the General Secretary as the New President because they came from the same state forgetting that NATOP has an Unofficial Rotation principle. This spawned the whole bad blood that emerged.
In February they arrived at a general meeting with Non members and declared the expiration of the tenure of the incumbent Executive. They were overruled and the Coup failed. They next spread another story about Insecurity in Jos and that they will not go to Jos because of Herdsmen attack. They contradicted themselves by saying that they will go to Jos for the conference then come to Lagos for the Elections. The executives met and decided to go ahead and accept the offer by the Government of Plateau State to fully Host the AGM.
This offer from Plateau State is the second time in the History of NATOP a state Government is agreeing to host NATOP. The first time was by Madam Onari Duke the first lady of Cross River State under the Presidency of Hajia Fatima Garbati. Every decision of The Executives was approved by Mr. Jemi Alade and Abiodun Sanni who were members of the past Executive council.Plateau State kept their Words and fully Hosted the event which includes 15 Tourism journalists. The attendance of Lagos members to Jos is similar to the Elective AGM held in Calabar in 2016. At the Calabar AGM Members came from everywhere including Benin Republic but only 12 people attended from Lagos. It is the habit of most Lagos Operators to attend to only events held in Lagos. This is not only in NATOP I have also observed that other National Tourism Associations experience more attendance by members outside Lagos whenever the events are held outside Lagos. Jos is in Nigeria and the state Government has offered to help.

'Simple Courage' founders as a story of heroism at sea
By | Posted - July 25, 2006 at 6:40 a.m.
In Simple Courage, Frank Delaney departs from the gifted storytelling that made his 2005 novel Ireland a best seller to recount in documentary style the true tale of the rescue operation in late December 1951 to save the brutally damaged freighter S.S. Flying Enterprise.
Cracked apart by an ocean storm, slammed on its side by rogue waves 60 feet high, the ship floundered helplessly off the coast of England. While other vessels raced to its aid, the world watched news reports of a stoic captain who refused to abandon ship.
Capt. Kurt Carlsen defined heroism by defying bleak odds to save his passengers and his crew before stubbornly trying to bring his crippled ship to port. During the two-week ordeal, he endured hammering high seas, hurricane-force winds and winter temperatures so cold they turned sea foam into ice missiles.
On its surface, this is an engaging story of bygone days when character counted more than celebrity or money. But for readers less maritime-mesmerized than the author, the book's ballast brims with technical flotsam -- seafaring minutiae and merchant-marine legalities that never let the suspense get up to full speed.
More difficult to navigate, however, is an undertow throughout the book that tugs at the reader to believe that this harrowing rescue attempt was one of the most meaningful stories of its time -- one that "marks a generation," as Delaney puts it, in the same way the Kennedy assassination did.
For the author, maybe so. Then a boy in a coastal town of Ireland, young Delaney stayed glued to radio bulletins of the perils Carlsen faced. With World War II a recent memory, the man-vs.-sea theme had wind in its sails back then. Humphrey Bogart captained The African Queen to an Oscar that year, and Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny won a Pulitzer. But the Flying Enterprise was no Titanic. It was no Andrea Doria, no Lusitania, not even an Edmund Fitzgerald. And Courage is not The Perfect Storm.
By the book's end, Delaney tries to tie together an underwhelming finale with personal dunnage -- his troubled relationship with a strict and unloving Irish father and how the two of them found, if only for a short time that winter 55 years ago, an escape from the perils of their own home life in the uncommon courage of a heroic skipper and ship lost to the seas.

Newark Shopping Center gets new start
Owner, tenants celebrate strip mall's 60th anniversary and $10 million in new renovations
Newark Shopping Center gets new start Owner, tenants celebrate strip mall's 60th anniversary and $10 million in new renovations Check out this story on delawareonline.com: http://delonline.us/1F5pdRn

The shopping center will be filling out the remaining vacancies with new restaurants and retail shops by next spring.
Newark Natural Foods moved into a renovated anchor store that formerly housed Newark Department Store and opened a new eatery called Café 67 next door
Marilyn Minister headed to work at the Newark Shopping Center on Saturday morning, just as she has every weekend for decades.
Only this day was special – both for the 85-year-old owner of Minster's Jewelers and the shopping center her business has called home since 1955.
Saturday marked the grand "re-opening" of the Newark Shopping Center – a celebration of the strip mall's 60th anniversary and the conclusion of a two-year, $10 million renovation project designed to restore the plaza to its former glory.
"I couldn't wait to come in today," said Minster, the only original tenant still leasing space at the shopping center. "What you see out there are my dreams and my prayers coming true at long last."
With no fewer than seven owners since 1986, Newark Shopping Center had fallen into serious disrepair over the years.
Roofs leaked, potholes riddled the parking lot and storefronts sat empty for years. The neglect eventually attracted crime, while shoppers avoided the area in favor of indoor malls and newer stores elsewhere.
For Minster, things finally began to change in 2012 when David Ross walked into her jewelry store and introduced himself as the president of Atlantic Realty, the Virginia-based property management company that had just bought the shopping center.
"He told me they wanted to re-do the whole thing and asked if I would help," she said. "Of course, I didn't believe him, because I had heard the same thing from at least three other owners. But he had a vision and he kept his word."
Minster, in turn, helped lobby Newark City Council to approve the project, including a controversial proposal to build a six-story, 220-unit apartment building on the site of the former Blue Hen Lanes bowling alley.
The Bainbridge Companies of Bethesda, Maryland, bought that portion of the property and is now pre-leasing units in the One Easton apartment building set to open next summer.
"To invest $10 million dollars in s facility like this that's not going to attract high-dollar rent-payers, we had to find sources of revenue that would allow us to achieve our goals," Ross said. "I think you can see it worked and the shopping center turned out even better than we envisioned."
The renovations at Newark Shopping Center included facelifts for some shops and major overhauls for others. Water and sewer lines were upgraded, leaky roofs repaired, potholes filled, landscaping improved and new bike racks installed.
A new cut-through also was added in one of the buildings, providing easy access to the Pomeroy and Newark Rail Trail – a hiking and biking thoroughfare from downtown to White Clay Creek State Park.
Those upgrades, in turn, allowed Atlantic Realty to attract new tenants to the 16-acre plaza that long struggled with vacancy.
In April, Newark Natural Foods moved into a renovated anchor store that formerly housed Newark Department Store and opened a new eatery called Café 67 next door.
The co-op is helping to attract new shoppers to the plaza, such as Leslie Piper, a 45-year resident of Newark.
"I probably wouldn't have come here if the co-op were somewhere else," she said. "But I'm glad Newark Shopping Center is picking back up because it seemed like it was dying. The parking lot was awful for years, but today when I came in it was smooth with new blacktop."
Atlantic Realty is hoping foot traffic will further increase when Churrascaria Saudades Brazilian Steakhouse opens next to Minsters Jewelers this winter. Sports Clips and Big Z Pizza also have signed leases at the shopping center.
Newark Discount Liquors recently moved into a larger storefront and Capriotti's Sandwich Shop is expected to follow suit later this year.
The shopping center will be filling out the remaining vacancies with new restaurants and retail shops by next spring, Ross said. A standalone pad site near East Main Strett also is approved for construction and awaiting a lease.
"An improved Newark Shopping Center is really an added benefit for this end of Main Street," Newark Mayor Polly Sierer said. "It's helped to inspire other shopping centers in town to do the same thing, which is great for the community."
A light drizzle kept away the crowds that Atlantic Realty had hoped to draw Saturday with music, children's games and a raffle for a two-year lease of a Toyota Camry.
But the weather didn't affect Minster, whose store became the center of activity for dignitaries looking to get out of the rain.
Her enthusiasm later led Atlantic Realty partner Adam Schulman to jokingly name her "The Mayor of the Newark Shopping Center."
"I'm not the mayor," Minster responded. "Well, I guess I can be, just for today."

Artists Index: Lynda Morris
Lynda Morris is known as a pioneering curator who gave many, now well-recognised, artists their first UK exhibitions, including Agnes Martin (1974), Bernd and Hilla Becher (1974–75), and Gerhard Richter (1977). Further, from 1991 to 2009 she established and curated 'EASTinternational', an open submission exhibition in Norwich, with a series of invited selectors each year, including Konrad Fischer, Marian Goodman, and Rudi Fuchs. 'EASTinternational' expanded the boundaries of a London-centred UK art scene and turned Norwich into a recognised international hub for contemporary art. From 1980 to 2009 Morris was curator of the Norwich Gallery at Norwich University of the Arts, where she is the current Professor of Curation and Art History. Her recent projects are the exhibitions 'Picasso: Peace and Freedom' (Tate Liverpool, 2010, Albertina, Vienna, (2011); Louisiana, Humlebæk, (2011)); and 'Documenting Cadere: 1972– 1978', (Modern Art Oxford, (2012/2013), Mu.ZEE, Oostende, (2013), Artists Space, New York, (2013)).

Arthur A. Thomas: A Hero Of A Valet, Todd C. Peppers
During his time on the Supreme Court, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was the beneficiary of adulation from his legal secretaries (today we refer to them as law clerks) and young legal scholars, like Felix Frankfurter and Harold Laski. While the Justice basked in the warm glow of their hero worship, he was quick to point out to them that "no man is a hero to his valet." The phrase was not original to Holmes, although the expression sounds like it sprang from his clever mind. The underlying meaning is simple—the servant tending daily to his employer sees flaws and …

The Chief Justice And The Page: Earl Warren, Charles Bush, And The Promise Of Brown V. Board Of Education, Todd C. Peppers
In October Term 1954, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the implementation of the Brown decision. The resulting opinion is commonly referred to as "Brown II." In his unanimous opinion, Chief Justice Earl Warren ordered local school districts to desegregate their schools "with all deliberate speed." Supporters of immediate integration were dismayed by the vague language, which ultimately allowed southern states to use a variety of tactics to deliberately evade and resist the Court's mandate that public schools be desegregated.
What has been forgotten in the discussion of Brown II and the "all deliberate speed" standard is that …

Cancelling Justice? The Case Of James Clark Mcreynolds, Todd C. Peppers
Over the last several years, there has been a vigorous debate as to whether monuments and memorials of Confederate leaders and controversial historical figures should be purged from the public square. These conversations have included former Supreme Court justices and have led to the removal of multiple statues of former Chief Justice Roger Taney, author of the infamous "Dred Scott" decision. Drawing on the arguments mounted for and against the removal of statues, this article explores the decision of a small liberal arts college to strip the name of former Supreme Court Justice James Clark McReynolds from a campus building. …

Where's Rudy?, James E. Moliterno
Choice of law in lawyer discipline matters, and the language among the popular choice of law rules in use matters. The core goals of choice of law principles should not limit the choices to the states in which a lawyer has a full, formal license. Doing so undermines the modern choice of law interests analysis by eliminating jurisdictions that may have the greatest interest in the conduct.
Lawyers cross borders physically and electronically on a daily basis. Accordingly, choice of law rules are critical, especially when a lawyer engages in missions that are targeted at particular jurisdictions, as Rudy Giuliani …

Memorializing Dissent: Justice Pal In Tokyo, Mark A. Drumbl
Memorials and monuments are envisioned as positive ways to honor victims of atrocity. Such displays are taken as intrinsically benign, respectful, and in accord with the arc of justice. Is this correlation axiomatic, however? Art, after all, may be a vehicle for multiple normativities, contested experiences, and variable veracities. Hence, in order to really speak about the relationships between the aesthetic and international criminal law, one must consider the full range of initiatives—whether pop-up ventures, alleyway graffiti, impromptu ceremonies, street art, and grassroots public histories—prompted by international criminal trials. Courts may be able to stage their own outreach, to be …

Funerals of Supreme Court Justices are now complicated and highly choreographed affairs. Lying in repose in the Great Hall at the Supreme Court. Funeral services in the grand Washington National Cathedral. Eulogies from fellow Justices, former law clerks, and prominent legal figures. Live coverage by national television networks. But for one of the greatest jurists to sit on the Supreme Court, a simple Unitarian service and the rites accorded an old soldier sufficed.

On Hostility And Hospitality: Othering Pierre Legrand, Russell A. Miller Jan 2017
On Hostility And Hospitality: Othering Pierre Legrand, Russell A. Miller
Pierre Legrand's return to the pages of the American Journal of Comparative Law after nearly twenty years is cause for reflection on the reasons for this prolific comparatist's absence from one of the discipline's leading scholarly fora. One reason is the widespread disdain aimed at Legrand as a result of his persistent, sharply critical, and often pointedly personal crusade against the discipline's accepted approaches and their most prominent practitioners. This is partly the nature of the article he publishes in this collection, which features a no-holds-bared, uncomplimentary assessment of the work of James Gordley. In this Article I argue that …
To Compare Or Not To Compare? Reading Justice Breyer, Russell A. Miller Jan 2016
To Compare Or Not To Compare? Reading Justice Breyer, Russell A. Miller
Justice Breyer's new book The Court and the World presents a number of productive challenges. First, it provides an opportunity to reflect generally on extra-judicial scholarly activities. Second, it is a major and important - but also troubling - contribution to debates about comparative law broadly, and the opening of domestic constitutional regimes to external law and legal phenomena more specifically. I begin by suggesting a critique of the first of these points. These are merely some thoughts on the implications of extra-judicial scholarship. The greater portion of this essay, however, is devoted to a reading of Justice Breyer's book, …
Justice Stevens And Securities Law, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, Jason A. Cantone Jan 2016
Justice Stevens And Securities Law, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, Jason A. Cantone
In this Article, we tell the overlooked story of Justice Stevens's important role in Supreme Court securities law decisions. In Part I, where we briefly highlight Stevens's career before his 1975 appointment to the Supreme Court, we observe that we can identify no evident interest in or connection to federal securities law or the securities industry, making his contributions all the more remarkable. The only foreshadowing of his prolific opinion-writing on the subject of securities law was his voluminous writing of opinions, in general, while serving on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This commitment to authoring opinions stemmed, in …
Justice Scalia's Fourth Amendment: Text, Context, Clarity, And Occasional Faint-Hearted Originalism, Timothy C. Macdonnell Jan 2015
Justice Scalia's Fourth Amendment: Text, Context, Clarity, And Occasional Faint-Hearted Originalism, Timothy C. Macdonnell
Since joining the United States Supreme Court in 1986, Justice Scalia has been a prominent voice on the Fourth Amendment, having written twenty majority opinions, twelve concurrences, and six dissents on the topic. Under his pen, the Court has altered its test for determining when the Fourth Amendment should apply; provided a vision to address technology's encroachment on privacy; and articulated the standard for determining whether government officials are entitled to qualified immunity in civil suits involving alleged Fourth Amendment violations. In most of Justice Scalia's opinions, he has championed an originalist/textualist theory of constitutional interpretation. Based on that theory, …
Justice Hugo Black And His Law Clerks: Match-Making And Match Point, Todd C. Peppers Jan 2011
Justice Hugo Black And His Law Clerks: Match-Making And Match Point, Todd C. Peppers
Like other Justices on the Supreme Court, Justice Black hired law clerks to assist with the work of the Court. Each year, his law clerks would assist in reviewing cert. petitions, doing legal research, and editing opinion drafts. These job duties, however, were only one dimension of the Black clerkship. As the Justice himself once remarked to a law-clerk applicant, "I don't pick my law clerks for what they can do for me, I pick my law clerks for what I can do for them."
Isaiah And His Young Disciples: Justice Brandeis And His Law Clerks, Todd C. Peppers Jan 2009
Isaiah And His Young Disciples: Justice Brandeis And His Law Clerks, Todd C. Peppers
It cannot be said that Louis Dembitz Brandeis has suffered from a lack of scholarly attention. Brandeis is considered to be one of the most influential Justices in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, and scores of books and law-review articles have been written about Brandeis the lawyer, the political insider, the Zionist, and the Justice. A case can be made, however, that history has not fully recognized the important and lasting contribution that Brandeis made to the development of the institutional rules and norms surrounding the Supreme Court law clerk, an oversight that this essay seeks to rectify.

A random sample angular2 application that generates random information to test

Information
-----------
This really is just me playing about with Angular2. I've dabbled in it before but this is a bit different as Angular2 now has a binary release that you can access at:

    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-alpha.22/angular2.dev.js"></script>

By using `chancejs` it generates a few new rows into a table with random names, which you can then delete by clicking the red button on the right.

Install and Run
---------------
As I've just been playing around, the folder structure, conventions, and style isn't great so just play around until you get it to work. If you make sure you have typescript, node and bower installed just clone the repo into an existing web server documents folder then navigate in your browser.

If you want to edit anything make sure you run the following:

    npm install
    bower install
    tsc -w

The last line will watch for typescript changes, so make sure any time you edit the typescript file you either run a compile manually or have that command running in the background.

Although not employment related, the story about black residents in an Ohio neighborhood being awarded $10.9 million for racially discriminatory denial of their public water service is interesting. The story is here and here. What I found most interesting about the two news stories is that there is no discussion about what evidence was presented to suggest that the denial of service to this neighborhood was based on race. The stories do suggest that white residents in the county also lacked water service, according to the defendants.

for Ford Transit L4
Ford Transit L4 wheelchair bus
American version of the Ford Transit. Flexible wheelchair bus that can safely accommodate nine able-bodied passengers or six wheelchair passengers. You can serve a wide range of passengers with the B-FiT Ford Transit L4 minibus. This wheelchair van can be used as a taxi bus, wheelchair taxi or handicapped bus by a taxi or transport company. If a wheelchair space is not used, other passengers can sit on the comfortable tip-and-turn seats that are included. Due to the size of this wheelchair bus, some countries require a bus driving licence.
B-FiT for Ford Transit L4
B-FiT is a ready-made floor that is laid in the Ford Transit L4. Belts to secure wheelchairs are integrated into the B-FiT floor. There are rails in the floor that hold tip-and-turn seats for able-bodied passengers, as well as the belt columns to secure the wheelchair passengers.
Ford Transit L4 handicapped bus
There are five belt pop-ups per wheelchair space, which can be completely covered with a flap. In four of these belt pop-ups there are safety belts with a hook, which are meant to secure a wheelchair in the disability bus and keep it in place during a journey and in the unthinkable event of an accident. The adjustable seatbelt column is used to secure the wheelchair passenger. The buckle for that last belt is in the fifth belt pop-up in the floor.
Lay out for the B-FiT Ford Transit L4
Touchscreen control – Safe and easy
For daily, intensive use, you want an easy-to-operate system. That is made possible by a touchscreen with which you can operate the Ford Transit L4 disability car. The touchscreen is placed at the driver's side, where he activates the process for the correct wheelchair position.
This opens the front two belt pop-ups and illuminates the hooks so they are clearly visible, even in the dark. When these are attached to the wheelchair by the driver, the rear two pop-ups open automatically open to anchor the back of the wheelchair as well. Finally, the belt with buckle automatically comes out of the floor. The driver can use the touchscreen to check that everything is securely in place. If the wheelchair passenger releases the seatbelt, the driver is notified.

Group transport with the Ford Transit
The wheelchair passenger always has good visibility through the windows, because the tip-and-turn seats are the only seats on the market to be folded down under the windows. When there is no wheelchair passenger in the wheelchair space, the tip-and-turn seats can be folded down for other passengers. There is a maximum of two folding seats, for two passengers, in each wheelchair space, with the exception of the wheelchair space by the sliding door, which has space for one folding seat. This means you can be extremely flexible with group transport in the Ford Transit. For example, you can transport eight able-bodied passengers and one wheelchair passenger or four able-bodied passengers and four wheelchair passengers.
Flexible to use Ford Transit Wheelchair bus
Discover the possibilities with the B-FiT floor system.
Safe passenger transport
When the belt pop-ups that are integrated in the B-FiT floor are not used, they are automatically covered by a flap. This creates a completely flat floor on which passengers are less likely to stumble in the passenger bus. It goes without saying that all the belt systems conform to the latest European safety requirements and have been extensively tested in order to qualify for this.
The same applies to the folding seats and the frames on which they stand, for which tensile tests have been conducted in-house to ensure safety. The results are verified by the RDW, the Dutch National Road Administration. The test results are valid for the entire European Union.
Boarding and alighting
Wheelchair passengers enter the Ford Transit L4 wheelchair van via a wheelchair lift attached to the B-FiT floor at the rear of the Transit. You decide for yourself what type of lift you want to install. B-style does not make its own lifts, but we can order them for you. The other passengers can enter via the sliding door on the side of the bus.
Personalizing your Transit Wheelchair Bus
You can choose between four and six wheelchair spaces. You can also choose the number of tip-and-turn seats, with a maximum of nine. Normally the seats are placed by the windows, but if desired, a row can also be placed in the middle, next to each other. This is possible because there are three rails in the floor to which the seats can be attached. For the seat upholstery, you can choose between fabric and artificial leather. You can also choose a panel in the headliner with lighting, a safety hammer and space for extra speakers.
Wheelchair bus conversion
Converting a Ford Transit to a wheelchair bus couldn't be easier. The floor is delivered to the conversion company ready for use, so there is no cutting or welding involved in conversion of the van for handicap transportation. To eliminate friction, a plastic layer and adhesive are supplied for use between the van and the B-FiT floor. For extra strength, the floor is screwed to the bottom at a number of points. A power cable must be installed to supply the belt pop-ups and another cable to the touchscreen mounted on the dashboard to control the B-FiT floor. The seats and seatbelt columns are placed on the rails, and if an air conditioner is present behind the wheel arch, a different seat leg is supplied.

"A two-tier refugee response": Greece's welcome of people fleeing Ukraine stands in stark contrast with others seeking safety
The Greek government is operating "a two-tier refugee response" - one for Ukrainians and one for all other refugees according to a new briefing by the Greek Council for Refugees, Oxfam and Save the Children.
New Oxfam report uncovers stories from "prison-like" EU funded refugee center
New report from the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) and Oxfam sheds light on the inside of the new 43-million-euro migration center on the Greek island of Samos. The report comes ahead of the 6-year anniversary of the EU-Turkey deal, and in the midst of already more than a million people fleeing conflict in Ukraine to seek asylum in EU countries. If ever there was a time to learn from the failures made in Greece, it is now.
Detention as the default: How Greece and the EU are generalising the administrative detention of migrants
Greece is turning more and more to the practice of administrative detention to manage people who arrive in Greece to claim asylum. This is according to the new report, Detention as the Default: How Greece, with the support of the EU, is generalizing administrative detention of migrants, from the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) and Oxfam. The report found an excessive use of administrative detention with nearly 3,000 migrants in detention as of June 2021.
Alleged pushbacks at Greek border are persistent and systematic
Since 2017, there has been an increase in reported pushbacks ranging in the hundreds to the thousands. Despite increased international pressure and outrage, alleged pushbacks continue to persist. They are systematic, and those who speak out against them are criminalised. The latest issue of the Lesbos Bulletin by the Greek Council for Refugees and Oxfam looks at this practice and includes a pushback testimony.
After five years of failed asylum policies, it is time for the EU to do better
Five years ago, today, European leaders announced the EU-Turkey deal. Every single day since then, families have been trapped in 'hotspots' on the Greek islands, their lives put on hold.
The EU and Greece created these 'hotspots' following the EU-Turkey deal. The EU's aim to keep asylum-seekers on the Greek islands was to speed up their return to Turkey has resulted in appalling living conditions, violent border control practices and immense delays in asylum procedures. Despite overwhelming evidence of these failed policies, the EU migration pact seeks to copy this approach.
Oxfam's humanitarian response in Greece
Since January 2015 more than 1 million women, men and children fleeing war, persecution, natural disaster and poverty entered or passed through Greece in search of safety and a better life in Europe. We are working in Lesbos island, one of the main entry points to Europe, responding to the urgent needs of people arriving.
Oxfam reaction to the European Commission proposal that Poland and its two Baltic neighbours Lithuania and Latvia can restrict the right to claim asylum to designated and limited places such as chosen border points
"This proposal weakens the fundamental rights of asylum seekers and strengthens Fortress Europe, and goes against everything that EU should stand for," said Erin McKay, European Migration Campaign Manager at Oxfam.
A broken asylum system: one unwilling and unable to welcome Afghan refugees
While European leaders express their concern for the safety of people in Afghanistan, little concern is given to those Afghans seeking safety in Europe. A new Greek ministerial decision to stop Afghans, amongst other nationalities, from entering Europe, and dire living conditions in "Moria 2" highlights this lack of concern, as criticised in the latest edition of the Lesbos bulletin by the Greek Council for Refugees and Oxfam.
Investigation into EU's role needed after fire destroys infamous Moria refugee camp
The fire in the infamous Moria refugee camp was a fully preventable tragedy and should trigger a U-turn in the EU's and Greece' response to the arrival of people seeking asylum in Europe, said Oxfam and the Greek Council for Refugees.
Urgent EU action needed to prevent catastrophic spread of coronavirus in Moria refugee camp, say Oxfam and GCR
The first confirmed case of COVID-19 has been reported in the refugee camp of Moria in Lesbos, Greece. The Greek government and its EU partners must immediately take urgent action to avoid a health tragedy in the camp.
