Do you play computer games? If you do, you've probably played Minecraft. When Minecraft creator Markus Persson was young, he wasn't very interested in the games themselves. He was more interested in the programing instructions in the computer's manual. By the time Persson was eight years old, he was writing code for his own computer games.
When he was eighteen, Persson landed his dream job as a video game programmer. In 2009, he designed Minecraft in a single weekend. In the game, players use blocks to build whatever they choose. Persson wanted to let players use their imaginations, and the idea paid off. Today, Minecraft is one of the most popular computer games in the world. Although Persson doubts he will ever top this success, he continues to develop games, while fans wait for what's next.
The Ruby programming language is perfect for beginners: easy to learn, powerful, and fun to use! But wouldn't it be more fun if you were learning with the help of some wizards and dragons?
Create a class of mini-wizards, each with their own superpower!
Along the way, you'll meet colorful characters from around the kingdom, like the hacker Queen, the Off-White Knight, and Wherefore the minstrel. Ruby Wizardry will have you (or your little wizard) hooked on programming in no time.
Jaden Toussaint, 5 year-old scientist and all around cool dude, must save his school from a (possible) alien invasion.

Can Jaden Toussaint and his crew come up with a plan that doesn't involve (dunh-dunh-dunh…) the EXTERMINATOR?
Hop into a time machine and go back to an era before e-mail, iPhones, and electric cars. From our great-grandparents' day to today, a huge evolution and revolution in modes of communication, transportation, and entertainment has taken place. Then & Now teaches kids about the "good old days" when music had to be physically purchased, flying was rare, and messages were hand-delivered—and encourages them to ponder their own technological future. A fun, graduated format clearly shows the transformation of machines through the ages and offers plenty of fun illustrations and facts.
Do you play video games? If you do, you've probably played a game designed by Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto pioneered a new kind of game based on story and characters, rather than competition with other players.
As a child, Miyamoto was fascinated by animated movies. He drew his own cartoons and designed children's toys. In college, Miyamoto studied art and design. He was hired as an artist at Nintendo, a toy company that was just starting to make video games. At Nintendo, Miyamoto designed classic games such as Donkey Kong and Mario Bros . The follow-up Super Mario Bros. became the best-selling video game of its time. Today, Miyamoto still makes popular games for Nintendo, and fans can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

The chair of the Energy and Climate Change Committee's speech to Bloomberg, on the lack of a decarbonisation target for 2030 and the UK's future energy mix.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, Britain sparked the first industrial revolution.
By harnessing the force of fossil fuels like coal, enterprising British engineers were able to deliver astounding innovations in industry and travel, creating huge wealth and prosperity as they forged the modern world.

In the eighties, Britain led Europe in liberalising its energy markets by breaking up the out-dated nationalised utilities and introducing competition.

In those days Britain was not afraid to lead. Now, in the 21st century, tremendous technological changes are again sweeping the world.

But instead of being out in front again, leading the green industrial revolution, Britain risks being left behind. Our competitors – China, Japan, Germany and the US – are pushing ahead on clean new technologies. Only last month, the UK fell from fifth to sixth place in therenewable energy attractiveness rankings globally.

Germany – the industrial powerhouse of Europe – now gets 25% of electricity from solar, wind and biomass and has set a target to get 80% of its power from renewables by 2050. In Germany last year, there were around 380,000 jobs in the renewable energy sector, and this is expected to increase to 500,000 or 600,000 by 2030.

by some as being at odds with this aim. If this interpretation gains credence it could undermine the confidence of clean energy investors and make the government's commitments on climate change hard to fulfill.
Britain is clear. We can embrace the technology of the future, set a target to reduce our present heavy dependence on fossil fuels and upgrade our electricity system. Or we can cling to the combustion-based technologies of the past, gamble the future on assumptions about the availability of abundant cheap gas and slow down the process of decarbonising our economy.
Britain must look forward, or risk getting left behind.

Gas does have a significant role to play as we make the transition to a low-carbon economy, but it would be rash to bet the future on one fuel or energy source.
It is time to upgrade our electricity system to 2.0 super-efficient solar cells, anaerobic digestion, wind power, new nuclear reactors, wave and tidal power and carbon capture and storage – these are the technologies of the future.

But if all the 37GW of new gas-fired power stations envisaged by the government's new gas strategy are to operate at more than one-third of their capacity after 2030, without the application of carbon capture and storage, then Britain would wave good bye to any chance of meeting the carbon targets advocated by the Climate Change Committee.

Carl Austin-Behan OBE DL is a community activist who currently serves as LGBTQ+ adviser to the Mayor of Greater Manchester.
Carl was born and raised in Crumpsall, North Manchester. After leaving school, aged 19 he joined the Royal Airforce as a firefighter. During active service Carl received several awards and recognition, he received the British Humane Bronze Award for bravery after rescuing a pilot from a burning Hawk Aircraft and was mentioned in the Queens Birthday Honours List in 1996 with a commander in Chief's Commendation. In 1997 Carl was dismissed from the RAF, as it was deemed that his homosexuality was 'incompatible with service life'. This was a defining moment, since then Carl has dedicated himself to actively engaging diverse LGBTQ+ communities to ensure that all voices are heard and amplified. Carl believes that different identities and sexual orientations should be respected and celebrated: in Greater Manchester and nationally.

After moving back to Manchester, he spent a year working for ADSA before joining Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service in 1998. Realising "it wasn't for him" in 1999 he set up a promotions company and then a specialist cleaning company with a business partner. In 2001, he entered and won the national competition, Mr Gay UK.
Living back in Manchester City Centre, Carl developed an interest in politics, seeing a route to making a difference and inciting change. He moved to Burnage and in 2011 was elected Labour Member for Burnage Ward. Passionately active in the community and proud to represent the residents, Carl sat on the Neighbourhood Scrutiny Committee and was a member of the Licensing Panel, as well as Lead Member for Gay Men and Lead Member for Cycling.

Mr Gay UK, 2001
In 2016 he was elected to the office of Lord Mayor of Manchester: the youngest in the city's history, and the first openly gay Lord Mayor. During his time in office, Carl raised public awareness and promoted the diversity, contribution and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as highlighting issues faced by individuals. He helped raise more than half-a-million pounds for the Lord Mayor's Charity during his time in office.
At an early age Carl was always active in the community, volunteering at Northern Air Hospital Radio, a member of The Boy's Brigade and a founding supporter of Gaydio - an LGBT radio station. Two charity treks in Malawi raised over 100,000 for children with HIV, and a trek to Everest Base Camp in 2013 raised £25,000 for the Alzheimer's Society, a charity he regularly supports.
Carl married his long-term partner, Simon in 2015, and they have a daughter, Willow.

Other titles Carl holds include: Ambassador of The Running Bee, Patron of Manchester Lesbian Gay Chorus, Patron of The Friends of Crumpsall Church and Community Hall (where Carl spent many of his childhood days), on the board of governors for University of Bolton and a member of the governors at Burnage Academy for Boys, works with various LGBTQ+ Charities across the UK and also Greater Manchester's 10 boroughs with their "Pride Events".
After leaving Manchester City Council in 2018, Carl has been constantly embarking on new challenges and opportunities. In 2018 Carl was awarded by The University of Bolton with an Honorary Degree of Doctor of the University in recognition of his outstanding contribution to LGBTQ+ Equality across Greater Manchester.
Since 2020 Carl has been working with the Charity (as a founder trustee) 'Fighting With Pride' – The LGBT+ Military Charity that supports the health, welfare and wellbeing of LGBT+ Veterans.
In November 2019 Carl was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Greater Manchester and more recently he received an OBE in the 2020 New Years Honours List for services to Charity, LGBTQ+ Equality and Communities.
THE SHOOT: The Gay Village
Sackville Gardens; The Bee in the City; Beacon of Hope; Alan Turing statue & Canal Street
Student reflection: Jake Edwards
This was my first Greater Mancunians shoot and I didn't quite know what to expect. We met Carl on a cold but bright winter's morning in Sackville Gardens, he was very friendly and down to earth.
We started by photographing Carl next to the 'Bee in the City' statue where we struggled to balance our camera exposure between the strong light and dark shadows. From that point onwards we used a photo reflector to bounce light into to the darker areas. Carl was very relaxed and easy to work with and happy to suggest poses. As we walked from location to location he told us about his early life in North Manchester and his passion for his work representing the LGBTQ+ community. Carl picked up litter and stopped to say hello and wave to a number of people as we walked along Canal Street. His love for the Gay Village and the people who frequent it was clear to see.
We finished the shoot by photographing Carl against a bee mural and in a rainbow painted doorway before going canal-side to capture him against the backdrop of the Village.
I have to say I am very pleased with the results of the shoot - even with the challenging light. It was a pleasure to meet Carl and experience his passion and love for the city, the Village and its people.

Youth Corps Program Investing in the Future
You are Here: Homepage » Forestry News » Forestry Articles » Youth Corps Program Investing in the Future
For a small collection of area teenagers, the Clearwater Basin Youth Conservation Corps program presented an eye opening experience this past summer.
Twenty area youth between the ages of 16 and 19 recently completed eight weeks of training and employment through the Clearwater Basin Youth Conservation Corps (CBYCC) program.
The CBYCC program builds on the familiar Youth Conservation Corps and Idaho Youth Conservation Corps programs. It was initiated in 2013 when the Clearwater Basin Collaborative, Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests and Idaho Department of Labor became partners developing a youth program responsive to legislation authorizing the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP). That language encouraged CFLRP participants to provide local employment or training opportunities for youth.
"Individually none of us could have pulled this together. It took a true group effort to make this happen," explained Tera King, Clearwater Basin Collaborative coordinator for the effort.
Program participants were recruited by the Idaho Department of Labor in May. After an interview and selection process, they were assigned to one of four work crews—two in the Kooskia area and single crews in Grangeville and Orofino.
In June, the crews began an intensive training and work program designed to expose participants to an array of natural resource careers and experiences. Entry level forest work was provided and overseen by the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management and Idaho Firewise. The program was administered by Framing our Community and the Clearwater Resource and Conservation Development (RC&D) program.
It's all about teamwork on a trail clearing operation.
Crews participated in a well-rounded program featuring lessons and work experience in the fields of silviculture (the growing and cultivation of trees), engineering, aquatic habitat and stream monitoring, and wildlife habitat monitoring and restoration. They also learned about the importance of defensible space, removing vegetation to create firebreaks. Members received instruction regarding maintenance needs at recreation sites and worked to spruce up some the area's beloved sites including Lookout Butte, Hemlock Lookout, the Lochsa Historic Trail and the Lewis and Clark Trail.
"They get so much out of it," said crew leader Nat Davis, who said working in this capacity has been personally very rewarding.
"This year's crew really jelled," he said. The program is transformative for young people, he explained. "They come into it timid and unsure. They don't even know what questions to ask. What you observe week to week is confidence building and team building.
Everybody lets their guard down and see the possibilities of what we can get done. It's an eye opening experience.
"He said the morale and camaraderie amongst the group was excellent. "They didn't complain hardly ever," he noted, despite being worked hard.
Crew leader Melanie Martinez agreed. "Over the course of the season, I noticed my crew support one another and encourage each other.
"The benefits to participants of a YCC crew are many; crew members gain self-esteem, learn work ethic, discover unique talents, learn to use various tools, learn problem solving skills, gain appreciation for public lands and stewardship of them, earn money, learn time management, preparedness and responsibility. Along with all of this, the crew experience our beautiful Idaho wilderness and avenues to natural resource careers."
The program gives youth a taste of everything and encourages critical thinking on how to manage the land. It also motivates youth to look beyond where they are and the possibilities of a career in any number of fields, explained Davis. "By the time they get done you have a graduate who is tailored to what professionals are doing out of college."
At the conclusion of the program all participants received instruction in and building a resume. Most of all, they appreciated the opportunity to do "real work."
The program officially concluded Aug. 6 with a celebration of accomplishments. On Aug. 7 a committee met to evaluate the 2015 program and begin planning for 2016, a year King hopes will see an even better program with diversified funding and more partners.
Individuals who are interested in the continuation and improvement of this youth program can donate to the Clearwater Basin Youth Conservation Corps program through the Clearwater RC&D website: www.clearwaterrcd.org/donate.

THE COFFEE KLATCH AT BUD'S,
WEST POINT, NEBRASKA
One of the things I wanted to do during my February 6th visit to West Point, Nebraska was have coffee again with the boys at Bud's. Bud's is a bar and grill on Main Street with a big pot of coffee in the morning and good lunches at noon. I had met all the guys who have coffee at Bud's a couple times before, when I was in West Point this past October. Back then, on a Tuesday, they let me win the money in that game they play; then on Friday I had to give the money back when I ended up losing and was one of the guys who had to pay for coffee.
This time I wanted to talk to them about the nature of their group. I wanted to ask questions like: When and how did the group form? How does the group "accept" or "reject" members? How would you describe the usual topics of conversation? How does the group moderate disagreements or disputes? What would have to happen to make you stop coming to this group permanently?
The guys, however, were more interested in doing what they do than in illuminating me. "Why do you guys meet for coffee?" I asked.
"To get the news," one fellow said - and he meant it. They are talking about the death of an area school administrator who'd been killed in a car accident earlier in the week. "I found out who was driving the other car," someone said.
"To get the news" is one answer. "To hear the latest b.s." was another answer. "We all lie to each other," a fellow admitted.
"Why do they keep meeting?" I wondered.
"Habit," someone said.
"This is not a coffee club," someone else offered from down the table. "This is an information center."
"What if we'd call it an information technology center," another one asked. "With a name like that we could get a federal grant."
"What's your view on the gasoline tax," someone asked the group. The Nebraska legislature may be hiking the state tax on gasoline. One of the fellows whispered to me confidentially: "As long as those guys (he meant the Nebraska legislators) meet down there - you've got to hold your breath the whole time."
Over my shoulder I heard another man report: "They found that Florida girl who was kidnapped on video - she's dead."
That was news; that was enough news. The men ante'd up their quarters for the pot. First they played to see which three had to buy coffee for everyone. My host in West Point, Dick Lindberg, who ran the paper in town until he retired about twelve years ago, was one of the fellows who bought. Then they played to see who got the quarters in the pot. The winner was one of the other fellows who also had to pay for coffee, so most of the money went for a good cause.
No, I didn't get very much information for any essay on middle western coffee klatches. I neither won the pot nor had to buy. I came out even.
I suppose that's about where you want to end up with these guys, the half of them who are jokers, and the other half who set the jokers up.
THE MORNING DRIVE JOURNAL:
Water seeks its own level. The path leads where it will. If you cannot believe what the morning light reveals, move on.
The world is round, not flat. We know, because the surveyors had to shave thin, sometimes, the western edges of township, the northern ones, to accommodate the shrinking distance as you go north. "To cross the continent more quickly," I tell people, "go to Canada where the world is not so wide." They don't believe me, of course.
Another damp morning. Water standing, water moving. "Unseasonably warm," they would say. "El Nino," again they would say. Moisture is beaded on the windshield of the pick-up. A grey, damp viewpoint of a day. This morning, the wood off the top of the pile would sizzle and sing all its way to flame.
In the country, the wind is bragging. "Huff and puff," I say, "and blow away the greyness. Otherwise, Brother Wind, you are nothing but a lot of air."
Thick and thicker the grey gets, as I head north towards Ripon. Thin and thinner the layer of snow on the fields. Green and greener the promise of spring. Girls should go home with who brung 'em.
On Watson Street in Ripon, I pass the house our friends used to live in. Their young daughter had been naughty. She's in college now - cripes! She had been naughty and was sent to her room. It was summer. The folks next door were having a party in their back yard. The grill was fired up. People were rattling the ice in their drinks, talking, waiting for burgers. The little girl stuck her head out of the window of her room: "Help me, neighbors," she shouted. "Get me out of here!"

The idea being to create an ear with the content of my web app.  When I run this (run as with order as in the file, from galileo) I get this:

createWar:
         [war] Building war: C:\TEMP\Client.war

createEar:

cleanUp:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 15 seconds

Why isn't the output:

init:

compile:

createWar:

createEar:

cleanUp:
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL
    Total time: 15 seconds

?
Thanks

A: I think it may have to do with the depends targets. when you run create ear, you first run compile, and then create war, which also depends on compile and so on.

The state of mental health provision in the 21st century
How we chose these complaints
The complaints we see: overview
The complaints we see: diagnosis and failure to treat
The complaints we see: risk assessment and safety
The complaints we see: dignity and human rights
The complaints we see: communication
The complaints we see: inappropriate discharge and provision of aftercare
Collapse menuContent
The NHS Constitution states that patients 'have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, in accordance with [their] human rights'. Our casework shows that an individual's human rights can be infringed as a result of poor care. For this reason, we consider the core human rights values of fairness, respect, equality, dignity and autonomy when applying the Ombudsman's Principles for Good Administration.
Patients who use mental health services should be treated with dignity at all times, particularly so in times of crisis, when an individual's illness may compromise their ability to understand their own actions. It is vital to the trust we place in mental health services that they protect and respect our human rights when we cannot do so ourselves.
The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health reinforces how important it is for commissioners, providers and the CQC to protect human rights at times when a person's capacity, autonomy, choice and control might be compromised. The strategy aims to ensure that a person's rights to be treated in the least restricted setting, to give or withhold consent, to use advance decisions and to maintain family life, are respected.
Ms G
Ms G had a history of bipolar disorder and was detained under section 2 of the Mental Health Act 1983 after her family became concerned about her behaviour. On arrival at the ward, she was held in seclusion for 50 minutes before being reviewed by a doctor and joining the main ward. She was then returned to seclusion.
Staff later observed Ms G eating a sandwich that had menstrual blood on it and there was blood smeared on the walls. It was later reported she had inserted a plastic cup into her vagina. She was reviewed by a doctor, and the seclusion continued before she accepted antipsychotic medication.
Ms G was in acute mental health crisis. She had been assessed as being at an increased risk of harm to herself and others. The Trust recorded a clear and reasonable rationale for keeping her in seclusion. However, we found no evidence that Ms G was provided with sanitary products, which resulted in blood ending up on her food and
Ms G using a plastic cup to collect menstrual blood. We found the Trust's Seclusion Policy states 'patients will be treated with dignity and respect at all times' and Ms G's seclusion care plan states that her personal hygiene and toileting facilities should be considered, under the heading 'dignity and respect'.
However, there was no mention that Ms G was menstruating and no care plan around this. Additionally, food was placed on the floor without consideration of Ms G's circumstances.
We found that not providing Ms G with the sanitary products she needed compromised her dignity and hygiene. This was not in line with the Mental Health Act Code of Practice which states that seclusion arrangements should include an environment that takes account of a patient's dignity and physical well-being.
We also found the Trust did not, on every occasion, fully explain what they were doing when administering medication by injection, which was not in keeping with established good practice or the Nursing and Midwifery Council's Standards for medicines management. These failures caused Ms G distress and humiliation, which were compounded by the Trust's failure to fully respond to her initial verbal complaint.
We recommended the Trust write to Ms G to acknowledge and apologise specifically for the failings we identified. Additionally, we recommended the Trust prepare an action plan to describe what they would do to prevent a recurrence of these failings, and send this to the CQC.
The action plan produced by the Trust showed it had:
Raised awareness with staff of the need to maintain personal hygiene in seclusion, with discussions in team meetings.
Discussed privacy and dignity issues at the Trust's learning lessons group and seclusion steering group.
Highlighted the need for explanation of administering medication by injection within the learning lessons group and seclusion steering group for all clinical teams.
Human rights in mental health care
All public bodies and their employees have, under the Human Rights Act 1998, a duty to protect, respect and fulfil people's human rights. This includes NHS services and staff, as well as services provided by third parties on behalf of the NHS. The NHS Constitution clearly states: 'You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, in accordance with your human rights.'
There are many aspects of mental health care where human rights are particularly relevant, such as detention under the Mental Health Act 1983. The British Institute of Human Rights has produced a series of practitioner toolkits that put human rights into the context of mental health care, showing examples of how taking a human rights based approach leads to better services and care.

A Successful Experiment in Living The Evolution of Parkchester
By Elizabeth Lent 2006 Jul Neighborhoods Buildings
Nearly 150 years ago, the grounds of Parkchester in the Bronx served as a shelter for New York City's homeless children. It was a place where kids could learn a trade and get a second chance. Today, Parkchester is enjoying its own second chance, a revitalization befitting of a place that once served as a model of planned community living.
Comprised of 112 residential buildings spread out over 129 acres, Parkchester today is home to more than 40,000 residents occupying some 8,000 condo and rental units. The community is also home to dozens of retail shops, restaurants and even a multiplex movie theatre.
In the early years of the 20th century, the tract of land bordered by East Tremont Avenue to the north, McGraw Avenue to the south, White Plains Road to the West and Purdy Street and Olmstead Avenue to the east served as the home of a Catholic protectory. Homeless kids, children in trouble with the law and young people whose parents could not afford to feed or clothe them found refuge on its grounds. They learned how to bake or do carpentry or sew, useful skills that would provide them with careers later. "They even had a uniformed band that would play throughout the city," says Lloyd Ultan, Bronx Borough historian.
The Parkchester came into being through a fluke of legislation. In the 1930s, the New York State government temporarily amended its insurance code, providing a window of opportunity for life insurance companies to invest in rental housing projects. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company leapt at the chance to develop planned communities, the first of which was Parkchester.
The enormous complex—which at the time it was built was the largest housing complex in America—took its name from the communities that bordered it: Park Versailles and Westchester, which was the oldest continuously inhabited area of the Bronx, first settled in 1654. Construction on Parkchester began in 1938 and was completed in 1942, just after the United States entered World War II. The community was designed to be a middle-class city of its own, with shops including the first satellite Macy's store, which is still there today. "Most new construction at that time was for the wealthy," Ultan says. "Met Life built Parkchester as an experiment in housing for the middle class."

I moved into Parkchester in 1942 at the age of 5, and lived there for 11 years. I loved every minute of my growing up there. So much so that I moved back in as a newly wed in 1959, and stayed for another 6 years before the lure of suburban New Jersey pulled me away. I was saddened by the decline of the complex which I saw from a distance and from a few visits back over the years to show my kids where I spent my younger years. I am delighted now to read of its rebound. I wish for the current families living there the rich and positive experience i once had.
Jack Hirschfield on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 9:58 PM
I moved into Parkchester with my parents and remained there for 20 years. We were the 5th tenant in the complex. I married a girl from there, Ronni Sharaga. I remain in contact with many of my public school friends and former Parkchesterites. It was the best place to grow up.
Edith Fein on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 2:27 PM
I was born in 1941 right after my parents moved to Parkchester. What a wonderful place to grow up, with the green trees, numerouse playgrounds famous Metropolitan oval and fountains. I lived in a two bedroom apartment but at 12 my parents were offered a beautiful spaceous 3 bedroom apartment with large terrace. I lived there till I was 20 and married and rented my first apartment at $66 a month in 1960. the best part was my sister and her family lived 3 floors above me and my aunt, uncle and cousins lived around the corner and my parents down the block. My parents lived in Parkchester for over 45 years. Fond memories of my youth are all connected with Parkchester and will always hold a special place in my heart. I am ready to retire and the young mother of two children who sits next to me at a prestidges university has just submitted an application for an apartment in Parkchester I hope she and her family can collect fond memories as I have growing up and living in Parkchester.

The real beauty of parkchester is the the diversity of the "City within the City". I grew up and lived in PC from 1976 up until I joined the Army in 1999. My entire young adult life revolved around the community. I saw all the stages of development in that community and it just gets better and better with time. My mother still lives there Kim Park and she loves it. I have lived in many states and communities since then but none like that of PC. The one thing that I learned through time is the kids that grow up in a community like PC with that diversity are going to be far better off than that of kids from other neighboorhoods. You are able to adapt and work well with people from all over the world with no problem, whereas those who grew up in isolated areas of the US have a harder time, I see it first hand everyday in the Military. I feel blessed to have grown up there.
Marcia Geisenheimer Nee Bienen on Saturday, December 1, 2007 2:44 PM
My parents lived in Parkchester before I was born, I grew up there, it was a good place to spend one's childhood. I remember the beautiful oval with the splended floral arrangements. I had a good childhood . I had fond memories from PS 106, and my childhood Parkchester Friends and neighbors. .

Moved to Parkchester at age 13. Lived there 28 years, eventually with children of our own. Best place in the Bronx or all of NYC for school-age kids.
Jim Roby on Saturday, June 28, 2014 7:32 PM
As a kid I never knew anything else,born in '46 I was taken home to Parkchester. It had good plumbing and great continuous hot water,with nice older guys who rode around on bicycles with their tool boxes in the basket.I left when I was 18 and have never looked back.I live on an acre of land in East Hawaii,the Big Island. As a kid I had these re-occurring night mares where I would hang from the window sill of the 7th floor,and then drop catching the 6th floor sill.It was my great escape,I never made it to the ground and would wake in a cold sweat. My brother to this day looks back nostalgically.He talk about all the kid to play with.To me it is a lesson of things to avoid;I love living in the country .Good luck to those in the old brown and red fortress.

Parkchester is a convenient place to live with its renovated Lexington #6 train line, Express bus into Manhattan, great solid apartments, and its affordable rents. Smart thinkers decide on Parkchester.

Parkchester has a little over 25,000 residents, not 40,000. 40,000 residents spread over 8,000 units would be over 5 people per apartment on average. It's more like 3.1 people per unit. The greater Parkchester area, which includes the surrounding neighborhood, has around 40,000 people.

and naturally an expert knitter and crocheter, Andrea makes stunning jewelry. She became inspired by a felting class she took taught by Lisa Klakulak, and came up with these felted darlings (she is so modest that she insisted that I give some credit to Lisa's class). She does her own metal work and likes to find broken bits and pieces of antique jewelry at the flea market and turn it into something. It is always fun to see what she is wearing and from whence it originated. Her best friend: a dremel tool.


Hi! I'm Samantha! I'm super into cooking, travelling, hiking and watching movies. I'm an Aquarius and I'm also currently studying public health at uni.
I was a military brat growing up so I've lived in Sydney, Perth, Canberra and Darwin, so I'm used to moving around and always being the new kid at school. Very happy to be feeling settled in Sydney now!
I never had the language to label my sexuality because I didn't know anyone who was bisexual. So I didn't come out until my second year of uni. I always had crushes on guys but there were also girls throughout life that I felt very close to, more so than my other female friends. It took me a while to come out because I thought I needed to be dating a girl to 'prove' it wasn't a phase. I also had a few very religious friends I thought would reject me. Fortunately I have only had positive experiences and everyone I've come out to has been really accepting.

"The Resurrection of Gavin Stone" is a film that follows a washed-up child star and a troubled actor who is forced to fulfill his community service sentencing at a local church. Gavin Stone puts on the performance of a lifetime by pretending to be a Christian in the annual Easter production. Stone discovers the bigger picture that God still has a good plan for his life, despite his checkered past. Like Stone, all of us need to walk things out to find what God has for us and many times it is a blind faith.
When we feel like we are being swept away by negative events, we need to know that God will be our anchor. Stone was struggling to find a sure thing. He couldn't find it in a career or in the external things, but he found it in Christ. We can find this strength as well. In Lamentations 3:20-21 it said that we need to hold onto hope: "I will remember them, and my soul downcast within me. Yet, this I call to mind and therefore I have hope." Remain, steadfast friend, here are 6 ways to find God in the midst your deepest struggles.
Prayers often seem to go unanswered and the resulting wait can really drain you of any residual hope. We have heard that all things work together for our good, but that can be difficult to remember when going through life's trials. God will work it out for the best because He is good. Like Stone, in the midst of struggles we are hard pressed to remember there is a bigger picture and God is working it out. If we abandon hope, give up on God then the enemy the battle is lost for the faithful. Life is hard, but without God's gift and the hope it brings, it would be infinitely harder.
Accept that we will have trials.
We can go through the Bible to read about people experiencing great suffering. Look at David, Moses and Jesus Christ—all of them struggled while they were on earth. Times have changed, but people still experience trials and tribulations, although perhaps not to a Biblical proportion. James 1:12 talked about the trials we will have. However, we are called blessed at the same time. If you don't press on, attempt to overcome, you may never know what God has for you.
You never know how God is going to use a situation for the good. You might not see it for years. It is easy to become overwhelmed by circumstances and to kick patience to the curb. Instead, adopt the mindset that you will get through this. You are more than an overcomer in Christ. Look to God now and read Scriptures to help you through this time to combat nagging thoughts of self-defeat. When we change our perspective, we can change our inner dynamics. Try this Scripture from Timothy: "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." Talk about inspiration! This makes you feel better already!
When we give things to God and turn over our control--we can find peace. For example, perhaps you've tried for years to start a family, but it just hasn't happened yet. Try talking to God, "If this brings you more glory that I never have a family, so be it." Perhaps relinquishing control shows God your willingness to allow Him to work. It takes the burden off of you as well. This doesn't mean you stop looking for opportunities, it means you are resting and allowing God to move on your behalf. Give yourself a break from the worry and lay it all down at the altar.
When the enemy launches attacks on you and your mind, it is very easy to be led astray. Fix your thoughts on Jesus--replace your fears with His presence. Do not accept anything but the truth. If you're accepting thoughts that you will never amount to anything—cast it down mentally and verbally. 2 Corinthians 10:5 talks about destroying these speculations, "and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." Choose the path of truth today by speaking life into your darkness and power over the given situation. You can find God today by choosing His thoughts. Likely you will find He has been speaking to you all along!

In 2019 the Port Moody Ribfest takes place on the weekend of July 19-21.
Port Moody Rotary Ribfest takes place at Rocky Point Park which is located at 2800 Murray Street in Port Moody, a beautiful town of 33,000 people just east of both Vancouver and Burnaby. For such a small community, Port Moody Ribfest is an impressive event and at a wonderful venue.
Port Moody Rotary Ribfest usually takes place on the second-to-last weekend in July. In 2019 the dates are July 19th to 21st.
Admission is FREE and most years activities run from 11 am to 9 pm on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The live music usually runs from 4:30 pm until closing on the Friday, and all day starting at 11 am on the Saturday and Sunday.
At Port Moody Rotary Ribfest there is live music and lots of barbecued food for sale. There are also craft breweries on site, a Kids Fun Zone and various forms of family entertainment.
Port Moody Ribfest features free live music on the Friday evening and most of the day on the Saturday and Sunday starting at around 11 am.
Being a "Ribfest," a major part of the Port Moody event is the food. A variety of BBQ vendors serve beef ribs, barbecued chicken, corn on the cob and other tasty items.
Misty Mountain BBQ – from Hinton Alberta.
A new competitor in 2019 is Grizzly BBQ (from Vancouver Island).
The biggest challenge at Port Moody Ribfest is which vendor to get your ribs from! The second biggest challenge is deciding which craft beer to wash it down with (or root beer for the kids)!
TIP: Winners from the Port Moody Ribfest competition in 2015 were Boss Hog's as the People's Choice, Misty Mountain BBQ for the Best Ribs, and Gator BBQ for the Best Sauce. Maybe these Ribbers will win again this year, or maybe they won't!
Port Moody Ribfest is definitely a family-friendly event. There is something for everyone, including for children at the Kids Fun Zone.
In the Kids Fun Zone you will find things like an Art Mosaic Sculpture activity, miniature golf, a climbing wall, henna tattoos and a face painting station. Plus, if that's not enough, right in Rocky Point Park is one of the Lower Mainland's best outdoor children's playgrounds and water parks, as well as an outdoor swimming pool.
Kids – don't forget your swimsuits! Also, don't forget to point out to your parents the Rocky Point Ice Cream Store that's located right close by!
Below are some tips and advice on how to make your visit to Port Moody Ribfest as pleasant as possible.
TIP #1: Take public transit if you can as parking will be ridiculous. If you can't, put your bikes on the back of your car and then cycle part way to the venue (including from far away along the beautiful forested paths), or wear good shoes and plan to walk a fair ways. A bicycle valet service is available on site.
TIP #2: If you must take a vehicle, go early to improve your chances of finding a spot. There is a bit of parking available for early birds at Rocky Point Park, at the Port Moody Soccer Field on Murray Street just east of the park, and at Port Moody's West Coast Express Train Station.
You might also find parking at the Community Recreation Complex at 300 Ioco Road in town (although you might not technically be allowed to park there). Otherwise, try your luck wherever you can find it, but be sure wherever you park is a permitted place and not limited to too short of a time.
TIP #3: Another transportation option is to take a taxi, either from your home or from a place you can get to close by (like the train station). It might be challenging finding a ride back however, depending on when you leave.
TIP #4: Some years Port Moody Ribfest offers a safe ride home service between 6:30 and 9:30 pm. Ask your server at one of the craft breweries or an onsite security person for details.
TIP #5: If you're on a tight budget or have specific dietary needs, pack your own picnic. Or, other dining options nearby include the Boathouse Restaurant (but be sure to make reservations well in advance), or Pajo's Fish & Chips. Of course for a snack or dessert there is also the famous Rocky Point Ice Cream store conveniently located near the children's playground.
TIP #6: Rocky Point Park is a beautiful park to visit any time of the year. While you're already there for Ribfest, take some time to explore. Also, return another day when it's a little less crowded.
On hot days kids will love the playground, water park and outdoor swimming pool. The walking and cycling trails are beautiful and go on for miles. The pier is also very pleasant for a short stroll out into the water.
And finally, if you like outdoor live music, go back any Sunday in July or August for Summer Sundays when they have a free outdoor concert in the park at 2 pm.
ACCESSIBILITY: Port Moody Ribfest is fairly stroller and wheelchair accessible. Just be patient getting around, however, as there will be thousands of people. There are a lot of lawns (which aren't easy to get around on after a heavy rainfall), but there are also lots of paved pathways throughout Rocky Point Park.
PET POLICY: Only on-duty service dogs are welcome at Port Moody Ribfest. Other pets are not allowed. That's okay though as Fido will probably appreciate being left at home anyway as he'll likely hate the crowds and go insane with all the tantalizing BBQ smells!
Rotary International is a volunteer service organization with members around the world. The Rotary Club of Port Moody is one of many Rotary clubs comprised of professionals, business people and folk who want to make a difference in their community.
The Rotary Club of Port Moody meets for breakfast on Wednesday mornings at 7:15 am at St. James's Well Pub in Newport Village at 248 Newport Drive in Port Moody.

Puerarin inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis by up-regulation of miR-16 in bladder cancer cell line T24.
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common disease of the urinary system. Puerarin is a kind of flavonoid extracted from Puerarialobata. However, the role of puerarin in BC remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effect of puerarin on BC cells. Cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8, BrdU assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The expressions of miR-16, apoptosis-related factors and main factors of NF-κB pathway were analyzed by qRT-PCR and western blot. In this study, we found that cell viability and proliferation were significantly reduced, cell apoptosis was enhanced, and the mRNA level of miR-16 was up-regulated in puerarin treated T24 cells. Further, miR-16 silence inhibited the decrease ofcell viability and the increase of apoptosis. The main factors expressions of NF-κB signaling pathway were down-regulated in the puerarin group, while miR-16 silence alleviated these downregulations. More importantly, puerarin deactivated NF-κB signaling pathway via upregulation of miR-16, then miR-16 down-regulated COX-2 expression via deactivation of NF-κB signaling pathway. This study demonstrated that puerarin could inhibit cell proliferation, promote cell apoptosis and deactivate NF-κB signaling pathway via upregulation of miR-16 in T24 cells.


Obviously, I'm going to lose.
I just hope to pick off a few (like 100) of their customers.
Singulus Books is open today, 10/25, from 9:30am to 6:00pm.
Singulus Books has popped up on the Upper West Side. Today only, 10am to 6pm.
If you're in the area, please visit. Perhaps buy my book, chat, etc.
Maybe offer to cover my table for a few minutes so I can take a bathroom break.
So, tomorrow's the big day. Just checked the projected attendance for this year's Brooklyn Book Festival. Approximately 40,000 visitors.
As an unofficial vendor bum-rushing the event, I am trying to decide where to set up the Singulus Books table.
I'm thinking near the subway entrances, charging stations, or food trucks.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Leave a comment.
The Brooklyn Book Festival ( http://www.brooklynbookfestival.org/ ) is on 9/21/14, with bookend events from 9/15 to 9/21.
Singulus Books and I will have a table there, guerrilla style of course. The prep work is done: have my Square credit card reader, banners, promotional items, folding table and chair, and 100 copies of my novel, Dream Brother. Should be a great event. If you are there, please stop by and say hello.
Singulus Books – Quality fiction, one title at a time.
In the fall, stepping things up, starting a mobile, pop-up bookstore in Manhattan.
or the legendary Strand Bookstore.
If this experiment goes well, other titles may follow, becoming a paid service offered to indie authors.
Jacob Javits Convention Center, NYC. Home to annual car and dog shows. In a few days, host to something a bit more interesting. The biggest author and book event is the US, Book Expo America.
BookExpo America (commonly referred to within the book publishing industry as BEA) is the largest annual book trade fair in theUnited States. BEA is almost always held in a major city over four days in late May and/or early June. Nearly all significant book publishers in the United States, and many from abroad, have booths and exhibits at BEA, and use the fair as an opportunity to showcase upcoming titles, sell current books, socialize with colleagues from other publishing houses, and sell and buy subsidiary rights and international rights (although not on the scale of the rights negotiation that occurs at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October). Authors, Readers, librarians, and buyers for book retailers also attend the event.
Did I drop $100+ for a badge, granting me admission to the exhibits and events? Nah.
I don't need to sign up and have breakfast with a published author. I do that every day.
I won't be standing in lines or listening to panels or filling a bag with publisher swag. No.
I love books. I love authors. But I'm going there for another reason, to work, to spread the word, to market, promote, and advertise.
During the last few months, I received several emails from the BEA, asking me if I wanted to pay (a lot) for placement in their showcases or purchase similar services. I declined. I'll be out front, on the sidewalk, in the parking lot, near the front door if security allows, reaching the readers before they even enter the convention center. No fees, free. As an indie, my budget is low, but I've got time, tenacity, and comfortable shoes.
If you are attending, enjoy. Say hello if you see me.

The simplest Button helper method takes a single parameter, the button label, and generates a submit type input element.
There is an overload that allows more customization.
You can use the buttonset to turn a group of radio buttons or checkboxes into buttons.
The ActionButton creates a button from an <a> element.
Buttons can have icons, but this works only if the button is a button element, because input elements do not support content.


Hi Margaret! Once again, your insights and advice are inspirational. And an eye-opener for me. I have a teen son, but he's not a "troubled" one, thank goodness. But this is so helpful coz you know I fell like I am the "Fixer" and the "Rulemaker" in one. I like reading articles like this because there really is no manual for parenting teens but blogs and sites like these help. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment Nena, especially the one about this blog being a "manual for parenting teens." My goal is to write what I wish someone had told me back when I was struggling. I made a mistake focusing my attention fully on my troubled daughter, and starving myself and the rest of my family of love and caring. The result? My child's sibling, The Helper, left home for college. I watched in horror as my happy, sunshine, cheerleader Helper became really angry at her sister and me. I realized it was PTSD from growing up in chaos, giving and giving, and losing part of her childhood.
The main lesson for anyone reading this: the family as a whole must be the center of your attention as much as possible. Your child will make this impossible at times, but never forget that you, your spouse or partner, siblings, or even a divorced biological parent must be supported and work together as a team. This is too much for one person to handle.
And it's true what you implied, one does not need to have a child with a diagnosable mental illness or addiction to understand how stress forces people into roles that aren't helping. At times, any child can create chaos and stress for parents.

The Cedar Creek breccia pipe is located in the North Santiam Mining District, Oregon, approximately 50 km. east of Salem. It was emplaced in the Sardine Formation, a series of andesitic flows, breccias, tuffs, and small intrusives of Middle to Late Miocene age.
The breccia pipe was discovered by Amoco Minerals Co. through soil sampling, a ground magnetic survey, and drilling. It is elliptical in plan view with maximum axes of approximately 110 and 145 m. and extends vertically downward over 350 m. The contacts between the pipe and the surrounding country rock are sharp and characterized by sheeted fault zones. A quartz diorite intrusive is located directly beneath the pipe. It is porphyritic, weakly mineralized, and exhibits quartz-sericite alteration.
Two overlapping stages of hydrothermal mineralization are recognized. The first involved the alteration of breccia fragments to fine-grain quartz, sericite, chlorite, and carbonates. The second stage resulted in the deposition of quartz, sericite, chlorite, tourmaline, apatite, hematite, chalcopyrite, bornite, molybdenite, tetrahedrite, pyrite, galena, and sphalerite in open spaces. A later stage during which minor carbonate veins formed is also recognized. Siderite and koalinite were deposited during this late stage.
Four types of fluid inclusions were distinguished and subjected to microthermometric analysis. Type I inclusions consist of vapor and liquid, and homogenized to liquid at temperatures of 150° to 500° C. The salinities of type I inclusions range from 0 to 23 equiv. wt. % NaCl. Type II inclusions consist of vapor, liquid, and halite. Homogenization temperatures of type II inclusions range from 200° to greater than 625° C. 65 type II inclusions homogenized to liquid by vapor disappearance and have salinities of 31 to 39 equiv. wt. % NaCI. 3 homogenized to liquid by halite disappearance and have salinities of 58 to greater than 65 equiv. wt. % NaCl. Type III inclusions consist of vapor, liquid, halite, and sylvite. 24 of 31 type III inclusions analyzed homogenized to liquid by vapor disappearance, the remainder by halite disappearance. Homogenization temperatures of type III inclusions range from 325° to greater than 625° C and salinities from 45 to 80 equiv. wt. % NaCl + KCl. Type IV inclusions consist of vapor, liquid, halite, sylvite, and one or more other solid phases. 2 of these solid phases were tentatively identified as gypsum and anhydrite. Homogenization temperatures of type IV inclusions range from 375° to 525° C. 32 homogenized to liquid by vapor disappearance, 13 by halite disappearance.
Petrologic and fluid inclusion data indicate that 3 major hydrothermal events occurred. The first event is represented by type III and IV inclusions, the second by type II inclusions, and the last by type I inclusions.
Fluid inclusion leachates were analyzed by ion chromatograph. Na, K, Li, NH4, Cl, SO4, NO3, and Br were separated. The Na/K and Na/Li ratios determined from the leachate analyses were used to calibrate Na/K and Na/Li geothermometers.
Data from fluid inclusion and petrologic studies were combined with available thermodynamic data to create a model for ore transportation and deposition processes. Copper and iron were carried in solution as CuCl and FeCl+. Ore deposition occured at 250° to 350° C. A decrease in temperature is probably the primary cause of ore deposition, but an increase in pH and decrease in chloride concentration may also be important.

Cop's bullets injure girl, woman during altercation with suspect in New York, police sources say
By Eyewitness News
Sources: Police gunfire hit 2 innocent bystanders in Bronx shooting
NEW YORK -- A child was injured and a woman is in critical condition after they were apparently hit by police bullets during an altercation with a suspect in the Bronx, police sources tell Eyewitness News.
Sources said 12-year-old Gabriel Haze and 45-year-old Irene Perez were caught in the crossfire as NYPD Officer Juan Gomez fired 27 rounds at an armed suspect near Loring Place North in the University Heights after 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Gomez and his partner, Officer Brandon Gembecki, were patrolling in an unmarked police car when the suspect, 36-year-old Edwin Castillo, allegedly robbed two men at gunpoint in a building's lobby on West 183rd Street. Castillo allegedly fired one shot, but no one was hit.
Sources said Castillo, covering his face and carrying the backpack, then emerged and walked past Gomez and Gembecki's car.
Gomez, riding passenger side, then got out of the car. Police said Castillo turned around and fired one shot at Gomez, then ran down Loring toward Fordham Road. Gomez started chasing and firing at him, and Castillo turned around and fired another shot before throwing the gun in a pile of garbage bags. In total, Gomez fired 27 rounds, and Castillo fired three, police sources said.
During the encounter, Perez was hit in the abdomen and transported to St. Barnabas Hospital. Doctors removed a bullet consistent with an NYPD 9mm round.
Haze, who was walking home from school with her mother, was hit by "several small metal fragments." She suffered minor injuries. The suspect was shot in the neck and foot, and neither officer was injured.
Police have yet to interview Gomez about the incident.
Colin Brown, Haze's grandfather, told Eyewitness News that his granddaughter is in good spirits, but his family is shocked.
"I keep crying all the time because I see the possibility of what could happen. She could lose her life too," said
The backpack containing what appeared to be a brick of narcotics was recovered at the suspect's arrest location on Fordham Road.
Castillo is facing charges of attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
