Stephen Allen (* 2. Juli 1767; † 28. Juli 1852 in der Bronx, New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Zwischen 1821 und 1824 war er Bürgermeister von New York City.

Werdegang
Stephen Allen wuchs nach dem frühen Tod seines Vaters bei einem Onkel und seiner Tante in New York City auf. Dort erlebte er die Zeit der britischen Besetzung während des Unabhängigkeitskrieges. In seinen Erinnerungen schildert er, wie seine Tante amerikanische Kriegsgefangene, die sehr schlecht ausgestattet waren, mit Suppe versorgte. Er absolvierte eine Lehre als Seilmacher und arbeitete später auch in diesem Beruf. Während des Britisch-Amerikanischen Krieges von 1812 belieferte er die United States Navy mit Segeltüchern und kam dabei zu einem beträchtlichen Reichtum. Später arbeitete er auch in der Immobilienbranche sowie im Bankgewerbe. Zwischenzeitlich war er auch als Richter tätig.

Gleichzeitig schlug er eine politische Laufbahn ein. Seine Parteizugehörigkeit wird in den Quellen allerdings nicht erwähnt. Zwischen 1821 und 1824 war er Bürgermeister von New York. In dieses Amt wurde er 1821 vom Council of Appointment berufen. Seine weiteren Ernennungen erfolgten nach einer Gesetzesreform durch den Stadtrat. In seiner Zeit als Bürgermeister wurde das Gefängnis Sing Sing gegründet. Außerdem setzte sich Allen für die Verbesserung der Wasserversorgung und der Qualität des Trinkwassers ein. Das Stadtgebiet von New York erstreckte sich bis 1898 im Wesentlichen auf den heutigen Stadtteil Manhattan. Nach der Fusion mit der Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens und Staten Island im Jahr 1898 entstand das New York in seinen heutigen Grenzen.

Im Jahr 1826 wurde Stephen Allen in die New York State Assembly gewählt; von 1829 bis 1832 gehörte er dem Staatssenat an. Er war bis zu seinem Tod in viele gesellschaftliche und soziale Vorhaben involviert. Er starb im Alter von 85 Jahren bei einer Schiffskatastrophe auf dem Hudson River auf der Höhe der Bronx, als der Dampfer Henry Clay in Brand geriet und sank.

DB: Fifty percent less CO2 emitted by 2030
News, Oct 22, 2017
DB: Fifty percent less CO2 emitted by 2030 • Long distance transport to use 100 percent renewable power starting in 2018
(Berlin, October 23, 2017) DB sets new climate protection target ahead of UN Climate Change Convention in Bonn • DB's CEO Lutz: "Rail travel equals climate protection"
Deutsche Bahn has set itself a new, ambitious climate protection target. "By 2030 we will have reduced specific CO2 emissions worldwide by at least fifty percent. This is a major step toward becoming a completely climate-neutral group, which we will be in 2050," said Dr. Richard Lutz, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Deutsche Bahn, in Berlin ahead of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change taking place in Bonn on November 6-17, 2017. "Rail travel equals climate protection. Rail is already the most climate-friendly mode of transport and we are continuing to expand this environmental advantage. Nothing less than the future of successive generations is at stake. That is why we are amplifying our efforts and responding actively to climate change and its impact."
The next milestone is being targeted by DB Long Distance, in that every passenger will travel using 100 percent renewable power on and after January 1, 2018. As a result, some 140 million passengers annually will travel entirely CO2-free. Previously, this was only the case for holders of BahnCards or monthly and annual passes and passengers who had paid an additional euro for green energy on each leg of their journey. Since 2013, DB Long Distance has invested around 100 million euros in sustainable wind and hydroelectric power purchased in addition to regular energy. Deutsche Bahn intends to increase the share of power it uses from renewable sources in all of its rail operations (local, regional, long distance and freight), from 42 percent currently to 70 percent by 2030.
It was already a goal under the DB2020+ Group strategy to reduce CO₂ emissions by 30 percent by 2020, relative to 2006 levels. The tangible and constant increase in renewable energy's share in the traction current mix in particular is expected to lead to further reductions.
Deutsche Bahn has now launched the "Das ist grün" ("This is green") marketing campaign. More than 100 projects, addressing such wide-ranging topics as green long distance travel, biodiversity conservation and biodegradable workwear, are being presented in publications, at stations and on trains. By these means, DB is demonstrating the ecological nature of its products and services in all their diversity for the first time.

Detailed view on the newly installed system to filter out PFAS Forever Chemicals at Well #2 of the Horsham Water and Sewer Authority facility in Horsham, Pa., on August 22, 2019.
Bastiaan Slabbers / For WHYY
PFAS chemicals detected in water supplies nationwide
In Philadelphia, the survey found two of the most commonly researched PFAS chemicals at levels far below the EPA's recommended limit.

A survey of drinking water across the country detected some level of PFAS chemicals in all but one sample. The number of samples collected at each locality was small, and most of the chemicals detected were below current recommended EPA standards. But the report illustrates both the ubiquity of the chemicals in water supplies, as well as the evolving methods to detect the toxins that have likely been present in our environment for decades.
In Philadelphia, two of the most commonly researched PFAS chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, were detected at 7.7 parts per trillion and 5.3 ppt — levels far below the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended limit, as well as below New Jersey's more stringent controls.
The EPA currently has a recommended limit of 70 ppt for PFOA and PFOS combined. New Jersey has established its own maximum contaminant level for the chemicals at 14 ppt for PFOA and 13 ppt for PFOS.
Also known as "forever chemicals," PFAS are a toxic class of chemicals and include thousands of compounds used to make everything from nonstick cookware to water- and stain-resistant clothing. They do not break down in the environment. They also are used in firefighting foam, which resulted in contaminated drinking water around military bases nationwide, including former locations in Bucks and Montgomery counties. Exposure is linked to some cancers, as are high cholesterol and thyroid problems.
The Environmental Working Group, based in Washington, D.C., rolled out its report on Wednesday with the support of actor Mark Ruffalo, who stars in "Dark Waters," a movie about PFAS contamination in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Ruffalo put the blame on manufacturers such as DuPont.
"It's time to end industrial releases of PFAS into the air and water, and it's time to end needless use of PFAS in everyday products like food packaging," Ruffalo said on a call with reporters. "It's time to filter PFAS out of our drinking water. And it's time to clean up legacy PFAS contamination."
The Environmental Working Group says it tested just one sample of Philadelphia tap water for 30 different PFAS compounds and found 11, with a combined total of 46.3 parts per trillion. The group thinks the limit should be as low as 1 ppt.
There is little to no research on the health impact of exposure to the majority of PFAS chemicals. But David Andrews, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group and chemist by training, said enough evidence of harm exists for the few compounds that have been studied, like PFOA and PFOS, that the rest should be treated similarly. The group says the report is meant to highlight the ubiquity of PFAS in the environment.
The Philadelphia Water Department says monthly tests for PFAS over a yearlong period in 2013 and 2014 consistently found levels of the toxic chemical well below the EPA's recommended limit of 70 ppt for a combined PFOA and PFOS. The department says it continually monitors waterways that feed its drinking water systems for PFAS chemicals. It plans to publish its findings later this year.
The water Department's manager of watershed protection, Kelly Anderson, says the preliminary results of the department's own testing show levels of PFOS and PFOA continue to be below the EPA recommended limit and she questions whether EWG used rigorous scientific methods when testing a Philadelphia sample.
"We understand this is an emerging national, global and regional issue," said Anderson. "We take drinking water quality and public health very seriously. We are very committed to using sound science. There's a lot of questions about how they went about doing their samples and methodologies. We have to follow very strict standard operating procedures. It's unclear what practices the EWG took to adhere to those same scientific methods."
Anderson says EWG did not contact them or inform them of the testing and says the report mischaracterizes the safety of Philadelphia's tap water.
"I feel very comfortable in the safety of the water we're delivering to our customers," said Anderson. "I drink the water and stand by it's quality."
States across the country, including New Jersey, have set limits far lower than the EPA. Pennsylvania is currently examining its own regulation of PFAS. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended limits far stricter than the EPA's.
In a statement Wednesday, the city Water Department criticized the Environmental Working Group's report as having too small a sample size, lacking in transparency, conflating the results, and deviating from the peer-review process. (The report is not published in a peer-reviewed journal.)
"The ability to detect the presence of these compounds is advancing faster than the ability to understand their public health implications," the Water Department said in its statement. "Advances in analytical methodologies allow us to detect concentrations in the parts-per-trillion (ppt) magnitude — the equivalent of a single grain of sand in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The science around many aspects of these compounds, including potential public and environmental health implications, is evolving."
Drinking bottled water is not a solution, according to the group, as it is not regulated and there's no guarantee that bottled water would contain fewer PFAS chemicals than public water supplies.

Patagonia's new Silent Down coats push environmental standards even higher
Environmental carpe diem
Katherine Martinko feistyredhair

Recycled fabric, down insulation, and fair-trade sewing make this a top pick if you're in the market for a new coat.
Patagonia has, once again, hit the nail on the head with some gorgeous new products – the Silent Down collection of winter coats. The outdoor gear retailer has always prioritized ethics and sustainability in its product design, but this new line reflects an effort to push those environmental standards even higher. So if you're in the market for a new winter coat, this is definitely one to consider.
The collection features a parka and a jacket for women and a jacket and shirt for men (the shirt is a lighter, snap-down front version of the jacket). The exterior of all these models is made from 70 percent recycled polyester taffeta with a DWR finish, and the insulation is 100 percent recycled 700-fill down, salvaged from old duck and goose down products that would otherwise go to waste. As Patagonia explains on its website,
"[The down is] reclaimed from cushions, bedding and other used items that can't be resold. The reclaimed down is washed, using detergent and thermal water at 34 degrees Celsius, then dried at 135 degrees Celsius (20 minutes longer than the industry standard), making it hypoallergenic. Recycled Down offers the identical performance benefits to virgin down."
All sewing is Fair Trade-certified, which means factories meet rigorous standards for health, safety, and the environment; workers earn living wages and get paid maternity leaves; there is no child or forced labor; and an annual premium allows workers to build other projects, such as health care programs, child care centers, or communal kitchens.
It's the name I really want to talk about, though. 'Silent Down' refers to the fabric's surprisingly quiet sound. There is none of that swish-swish noise that's normally heard when someone is wearing a polyester coat. Instead, it's pretty much silent; you'll only hear a slightly muffled sound under the arms.
Even more appealing, though, is the appearance and feel of the outer fabric. This is a jacket that I cannot resist stroking every time I walk past it. I've noticed my husband has the same reaction; he's always reaching out to touch it. It feels matte, soft, nicely broken in.
The women's jacket, which is the one I wear daily, has sleeves with wide openings, but there's an elasticized inner sleeve cuff to keep in the heat. As someone with unusually long arms, the sleeves fit perfectly, which is a relief. The short, adjustable hemline sits just below the top of my mid-rise jeans); I like to cinch it tightly to keep it cozy inside.
The only mild criticism I have is that the jacket style is a bit boxy-looking, thanks to the wide baffles, but I suppose one isn't going for a tapered, slim look when one chooses to wear a puffy down jacket! I've noticed a few feathers poking through the soft polyester, but not many, and that's just something that comes with wearing down.
While I don't think you should rush out and buy this coat just because it's beautiful and meets impressive sustainability criteria – that goes against the whole TreeHugger ethos – it is wonderful to know that companies like Patagonia are making such forward-thinking products for when we really do need them. When products like this exist, there's really no argument whatsoever for buying a non-recycled, non-fair-trade coat.
Well done, Patagonia, once again. Check out Silent Down here.

TORRE WOULDN'T GIVE ARM FOR DH
George A. King III
Social Links for George A. King III
LAKELAND — You have heard of Bullpen By Committee. It's employed when a manager doesn't have a bona fide closer. Usually, it's never really a committee since the hottest reliever gets the call until he cools off.
Now, less than two weeks before the Yankees leave Florida, Joe Torre is leaning toward that plan when it comes to the wide-open DH spot because yesterday Torre stated very clearly he doesn't see a crying need for another bat if the cost disrupts his pitching picture.
"I haven't concerned myself with it," Torre said of his up-in-the-air DH situation which isn't a problem yet but could develop into one if the production isn't there when the gate opens. "I have the same approach I had earlier, getting at-bats for everybody so when it comes time to put it down on paper, then I have enough information."
Naturally, Torre isn't done collecting information. So he isn't close to processing it. However, despite slow springs from Shane Spencer and Jim Leyritz, Torre is confident the answer is in Pinstripes and doesn't see a need to add another bat via trade.
Of course, this situation wouldn't be staring Torre in the face had Darryl Strawberry stayed clean because the plan was to platoon Leyritz and Strawberry.
"To me, Spencer and Leyritz have no trouble doing that job," Torre said. "Again, you get into a situation where you are facing a tough right-hander, you may have to do it with Tino [Martinez] or something like that. Depending where our backup players are and you want to give a position player a day off, he can do that job. I know Bernie [Williams] wouldn't mind doing it once in a while. Tino and [Paul] O'Neill feel the same about it, they would do it but they would rather not."
The list of candidates doesn't stop there. With Leyritz around to serve as a third catcher, Torre isn't opposed to using Jorge Posada as a DH. And despite remaining a longshot, Torre said to include Tim Raines in the mix.
Of all the candidates, the 40-year-old Raines has the most experience and success operating in the tricky role since he is a .302 hitter (135-for-447). As a DH, Leyritz is batting .253 (132-for-522) with 25 homers and 91 RBIs. Spencer is 4-for-15 (.267); O'Neill 7-for-35 (.200); Posada 6-for-23 (.261); Martinez is 70-for-268 (.261) and Williams is 15-for-36 (.417). Ledee has one hit in one big league at-bat as a DH.
"I have done that before," Torre said of using his No. 1 catcher as the DH. "The thing about using Jorge is that he is a switch-hitter so there would never be a situation in a game where you would have to make a move. If you got behind, you would want to run for him. That would be the extent of that."
So with Torre not in favor of giving up pitching to acquire Jim Edmonds from the Angels or Matt Stairs from the A's, get familiar with a multi-headed DH. Ideally, the Yankees would like to see Spencer grab the job by the throat because between him, Leyritz and Ledee, Spencer is the best home run threat.
Yet, Spencer has struggled at the plate to the point where Torre can't anoint him either the starting left fielder or the DH. His 1-for-4 yesterday during an 8-2 loss to the Tigers left him with a .243 average (9-for-37) with two homers and four RBIs in 10 games. Leyritz, who didn't make the trip, is hitting .182 (4-for-22) with two homers and three RBIs in eight games. Ledee raised his average from .250 to .313 with three hits yesterday.
"My swing is fine," stated Spencer who said a mountain of ice strapped to his right shoulder wasn't an indication of injury. "I haven't got a lot of hits lately but as long as you don't swing at a lot of bad pitches, the hits are going to come and go."
Spencer's preference is to play in the outfield and he can handle left as well as right where he provides Torre with an option to sit O'Neill against lefties. A career .239 hitter against lefties, O'Neill was held to .190 against them a year ago.
Leyritz looks at the feeble numbers and laughs.
"People are saying, 'You aren't hitting, what's wrong?'" Leyritz said. "I just tell them, 'Check my numbers in April.'"
Leyritz is a career .324 hitter in the first month of the season.
Of course, the possibility exists that a deal will be made. Stairs fits perfectly into the Yankee situation. But listening to Torre and others in the organization, Torre is going to count on several DHs hoping to find the hot one.

So, who made my car?
2017 BMW 5 Series Touring
BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) was founded in 1916 as an aircraft engine company that expanded production to motorcycles and eventually cars. Today BMW also owns Mini and Rolls-Royce.
2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet
The original Daimler-Benz was founded in Germany in 1926. The corporation in its current iteration - known as Daimler AG - was founded in 1998. Daimler owns Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, Smart, and several heavy truck companies including Freightliner and Western Star. Daimler used to own the Maybach brand as well, but the high-end luxury automaker was axed in 2012. Fear not though, because in 2016, the Maybach name was revived within Mercedes-Benz with the incredibly opulent Mercedes-Maybach S600. Most recently, the company debuted the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet.
Here's a little known fact - "Fiat" is an acronym. Fiat or Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino was founded in 1899. Originally, Fiat mainly produced railroad engines, tractors, and airplane engines. After Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 in 2009, Fiat eventually acquired the company.
Today, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) controls Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Lancia, Maserati, and all of the Chrysler's brands including Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.
Ford is the company that famously revolutionized the use of assembly lines for cars. The Model T is widely considered the first massively available automobile. At one point in time, Ford owned or had major stakes in Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Mercury, and Aston Martin. All of these brands were either sold or shut down, and today the Blue Oval's only brand is Lincoln.
Cadillac Escala concept
GM owns Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, and Holden, a brand distributed only in Australia. While GM may be mostly known for its staple models, the company was also responsible for creating the mobility systems on the lunar rovers used on the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions.
2017-honda-cr-v-front-angle
While most of the major brands saw their preliminary iterations in the early 20th century, Honda wasn't founded until 1948, making it a relatively new kid on the block. Honda's name comes from Soichiro Honda, one of the company founders. Honda also owns Acura.
2018 Hyundai Elantra GT
Hyundai, based out of South Korea, released its first car in cooperation with Ford in 1968. Today Hyundai Motor Company partly owns Kia, one of its chief competitors. As they say: if you can't beat 'em… make yourself at least partially represented among their shareholders. In 2015, Hyundai announced a new luxury sub-brand called Genesis Motors.
2017_Mazda3_01
Mazda is a Japanese company that was founded in 1920. Originally, the company manufactured tools, but expanded to automobiles in the 1930s. The name of the company comes from Ahura Mazda, an Iranian god. In the 1990s, Ford owned 33.3% of Mazda, but has since sold its shares.
The Mitsubishi Corporation is Japan's largest "general trading company." This motor company started in 1970, after breaking off of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries department. Mitsubishi remained independent for a long time, but it is now controlled by the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
Today Renault controls the subsidiary company Nissan. Nissan controls the luxury vehicle division, Infiniti, and the recently revived Datsun. Renault also owns Romanian carmaker Dacia, and it holds controlling stakes in Russia's AvtoVAZ and in Mitsubishi.
top 5 cars for hipsters saab 900
Saab Automobile was the brainchild of Svenska Aeroplan AB, which still specializes in aerospace and defense manufacturing. National Electric Vehicle Sweden now owns Saab's assets. NEVS has been trying to produce an electric version the Saab 9-3 for some time now without much success. Regardless, these new models will not be sold as "Saab" products because the company lost the rights to the name, and to the brand's emblematic griffin logo. While Saab isn't officially "dead," the brand is floating somewhere between a vegetative state and the grave.
2017 Subaru Forester 2.0xt Touring review Subaru is the automobile manufacturing division of Japanese conglomerate Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI). Toyota is currently a part-owner in this company.
2018 Land Rover Velar
Tata owns Jaguar and Land Rover. Jaguar used to be its own British company that made Jaguars and Land Rovers, but Tata purchased it in 2008. Tata released the world's first $2,500 car, called the Nano, in 2009.
A team of engineers in Silicon Valley founded the electric car company, Tesla, in 2003. Currently the company's vehicles are manufactured in Fremont, California, at the former New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. automotive facility.
2018 Toyota RAV4 Adventure

Q: Hadoop streaming 'cat' and 'wc' example---how do 'cat' mapper and 'wc' reducer actually work My question is this. Apache Hadoop, in its documentation mentions one  following example code for hadoop streaming:
$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop  jar $HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-streaming.jar \
-input myInputDirs \
-output myOutputDir \
-mapper /bin/cat \
-reducer /bin/wc

Now I feed a text file to this streamer. Let us say, the text file contains just the following two lines:
This is line1
It becomes line2

The hadoop streaming command works perfectly and there is no problem.
But I am unable to answer the following questions despite reading many times above linked material and other examples on the Internet. Let us say there is only one mapper and only one reducer:

*

*Mapper, as I understand, gets a (key, value) pair as input. In the case of the above two lines what would be the key and what would be the value.

*Mapper function is 'cat'. Will 'cat' act on key part of the mapper or the value part of the mapper.

*What would be the output of mapper if the input are just the above two lines. What would be the 'key' and what would be the 'value' part.

*Reducer will get these (key,value) pairs. The reducer function is 'wc'. How would 'wc' know whether to act on 'key' or to act on 'value' of this tuple.

I understand these are very basic questions but I am getting stuck again and again to get a proper answer. Will be grateful for help.
Thanks.

A:
In the case of the above two lines what would be the key and what would be the value.

The key is the offset of the line. The value is the entire line text
Mappers act on both keys and values
The output of the mapper will be the same, I believe, or at least just (null, line), for every line.
wc would operate on every unique key, so if you get only one result as the output, then the input was likely (null, ["this line one", "it becomes line2"]), and the list of values is counted

Black-legged kittiwakes as indicators of environmental change in the North Sea: Evidence from long-term studies
S. Wanless, M. Frederiksen, F. Daunt, B. E. Scott, M. P. Harris
Top predators, particularly seabirds, have repeatedly been suggested as indicators of marine ecosystem status. One region currently under pressure from human fisheries and climate change is the North Sea. Standardized seabird monitoring data have been collected on the Isle of May, an important seabird colony in the northwestern North Sea, over the last 10-20 years. Over this period oceanographic conditions have varied markedly, and between 1990 and 1999 a major industrial fishery for sandlance (Ammodytes marinus), the main prey of most seabird species, was prosecuted nearby. Sandlance fishing grounds close to seabird colonies down the east coast of the UK were closed in 2000 in an attempt to improve foraging opportunities for breeding seabirds, particularly black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla). Initially this closure seemed to be beneficial for kittiwakes with breeding success recovering to pre-fishery levels. However, despite the ban continuing, kittiwakes and many other seabird species in the North Sea suffered severe breeding failures in 2004. In this paper, we test the predictive power of four previously established correlations between kittiwake breeding success and climatic/trophic variables to explain the observed breeding success at the Isle of May in 2004. During the breeding season, kittiwakes at this colony switch from feeding on 1+ group to 0 group sandlance, and results up until 2003 indicated that availability of both age classes had a positive effect on kittiwake breeding success. The low breeding success of kittiwakes in 2004 was consistent with the late appearance and small body size of 0 group sandlance, but at odds with the two variables likely to operate via I group availability (lagged winter sea surface temperature and larval sandlance cohort strength in 2003). The reason for the discrepancy is currently unknown, but analysis of I group sandlance body composition indicated that lipid content in 2004 was extremely low, and thus fish eaten by kittiwakes during pre-breeding and early incubation were likely to be of poor quality. Monitoring of reproductive success of kittiwakes, although useful, was clearly not sufficient to tease apart the complex causation underlying the 2004 event. Monitoring programs such as this, therefore, need to be complemented by detailed research to identify the mechanisms involved, and to attribute and predict the effects of natural and human-induced environmental change.

During the breeding season, kittiwakes at this colony switch from feeding on 1+ group to 0 group sandlance, and results up until 2003 indicated that availability of both age classes had a positive effect on kittiwake breeding success. The low breeding success of kittiwakes in 2004 was consistent with the late appearance and small body size of 0 group sandlance, but at odds with the two variables likely to operate via I group availability (lagged winter sea surface temperature and larval sandlance cohort strength in 2003). The reason for the discrepancy is currently unknown, but analysis of I group sandlance body composition indicated that lipid content in 2004 was extremely low, and thus fish eaten by kittiwakes during pre-breeding and early incubation were likely to be of poor quality. Monitoring of reproductive success of kittiwakes, although useful, was clearly not sufficient to tease apart the complex causation underlying the 2004 event. Monitoring programs such as this, therefore, need to be complemented by detailed research to identify the mechanisms involved, and to attribute and predict the effects of natural and human-induced environmental change.

Blake Michael
Atlanta, Georgia, US
Actor, singer, musician
Vocals, and drums
Blake Michael (born July 31, 1996) portrays Charlie Delgado on Lemonade Mouth.
Michael began his career at 3, booking print jobs. At the age of 5, his mother enrolled him in acting classes. When Michael was 6, his mother decided to find an agent for acting.
Michael's first principal role in a commercial was for Bojangles' where he shared the spotlight with NC quarterback Jake Delhomme. At 7, Michael played the role of a young soldier as a child in the music video for Mark Schultz's single "Letters From War".
Michael's first worldwide exposure was in 2006 in a commercial for the movie Zathura's game. He also worked frequently as a model for Macy's. In 3rd grade, he told his mom he needed to be home-schooled because acting is what he wanted to do. At the age of 10, he was chosen to host four collaborative commercials for Hasbro toys and Cartoon Network.
Soon after, Michael was hired to host his own show for Cartoon Network. Aimed for the audience of boys 6-11 years old, Fried Dynamite aired on Fridays, while the Saturday morning show was called Dynamite Action Squad. His work with the network lasted 3 years during which he served as the celebrity spokes-kid for Excite Books and later joined up with teen pop-country singer Celeste Kellogg, whom he met at a movie set, to record the duet "Looking in Your Eyes".
Disney first found Michael through an open casting call. He then sent in a self-made tape from Atlanta to Disney for a role in the Disney Channel original movie Lemonade Mouth, with his mother reading lines with him, and when the producers saw it, they knew they had to have him.
In June 2010, Michael was cast in the role of Charlie Delgado, the drummer. In addition to being a lead actor in the film, Michael sings in 2 songs on the soundtrack, one which includes a solo portion. Michael played drums before the movie but learned a lot from his on-set drum teacher. He was only 14 at the time.
With respect to the possibility of second Lemonade Mouth movie: "When the cast was asked about a sequel or a concert Blake Michael said: 'It's all up to the fans, it's in their hands. If people enjoy it and they love it and they want more, they'll get it. I think Disney is just a great organization in general and they're always one step ahead of the game. So you never really know what's gonna happen.'"
In 2013, He played Tyler in the hit Disney show "Dog With A Blog" until 2015 when the series came to a end.
In his spare time, Michael enjoys playing basketball, fencing, magic, playing the drums, and making and editing self-made movies. He became one of the youngest people to acquire a YouTube partnership at 12, with his original short videos, most of which were magic-related and some comedic.
Following in his big brother Zack's footsteps, Michael pursued swimming and acquired many state champion titles, as well as a few state records. Michael currently lives in Atlanta with his parents and older brother, Zack.

Luxury, Retail, or Otherwise… Looks Count – Job Postings too.
Note: There's a link to some jobs at the bottom of the post.
So I was in Boston for the annual Harvard Business School Retail and Luxury Goods Conference (HBSRLGC). Yes, I know that's a long acronym. I'll document my days in Boston (4/14/12 to 4/15/12) with pictures and tweets (yes – tweets).
Right across the street from Back Bay Station is an iconic property – Copley Place. This was a good experience for me because just the day before I had the pleasure of conversing with Howard Elkus and Ken Himmel, famous architect and renowned developer respectively.
Copley Place consists of multiple connected buildings. Here is a picture of a pedestrian bridge over Stuart St.
Later in the evening around 6pm, I went on to the Sheraton Commander Hotel for a networking session and keynote address by Steven Kolb, CEO, The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). He set the conference off on a good tone discussing the role and history of the CFDA as well as its efforts to push intellectual property rights for designers in the US.

12.07.08 - ICC/ TRIALS - ICC COMES UNDER SHARP CRITICISM FROM US-BASED HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH
12 July 2008 By JusticeInfo.net
The Hague, 12 July 2008 (FH) - The American organization for the protection of human rights, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has sharply criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor and its communication policy in a status report presented on Friday In The Hague, The Netherlands.
This report entitled "Courting History: The Landmark International Criminal Court's First Years," was written for the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Rome Statute, on 17 July 1998, at the end of an investigation conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in Uganda and in Chad, on the border with Sudan. HRW pointed out three main issues in the organization of the Court: the quality of the prosecutor's investigations, the weaknesses of the communication of the Court to address, in particular, the populations concerned with the crimes, and the political and financial support of the states. Human Rights Watch recommended to the ICC prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, to "recruit additional investigators, including experienced investigators, as soon as possible and prioritize their input in planning and executing the office's prosecutorial strategy". During a press conference Friday, Param-Preet Singh, a jurist in the international justice program at HRW, stated that the investigation strategy had a significant impact in the regions concerned. According to her, DRC rebel leader's Thomas Lubanga case was "not serious" because, in particular, of the weakness of the charges issued against the former leader of the Union of Congolese Patriots (UPC). In addition, according to the HRW jurist, the strategy consisting of prosecuting the groups implicated "one after the other" gives the feeling of biased justice. HRW also suggested the nomination of a deputy prosecutor for investigations. Since the departure in 2006 of the deputy prosecutor for investigations,Serge Brammertz, at the request of the United Nations which had named him to head the international investigation commission for Lebanon, no replacement has been effected. To support its criticisms on the investigation policy, HRW based itself on the last developments of the Lubanga case, which the trial is for the time being suspended following the refusal of the United Nations to lift the confidentiality on certain pieces of evidence of the case given to the prosecutor under the seal of confidentiality. HRW also urged the prosecutor to open field offices for investigative teams, to collect sufficient evidence "to indict suspects of a representative range of the gravest crimes which would have been perpetrated." During the press conference, Geraldine Mattioli, in charge of international justice for HRW, i pointed out the communication problems of the Court; in particular, mentioning the rumours which circulated in the DRC. "In Bunia, for example, the office of the Court [several offices were opened by the Court close to the sites on which investigations are opened] is called Guantanamo because it is inaccessible to the population,'' claimed the report. The organization called for hearings to be held on location. Concerning the Lubanga case, the Democratic Republic of Congo had opposed that such hearings be organized in Ituri, worried, in particular, about the possibility that such trials might revive tensions in the region.

Ex-Yankee slugger Ron Blomberg on deck for Men's Night Out

Ron Blomberg
Former New York Yankee first baseman Ron Blomberg made history as the first designated hitter in the major leagues.
"In 1973 I screwed up the game of baseball and I'm very proud of it, and having a Jew to do it is great," he told the AJP in a recent telephone interview.
Blomberg — pronounced with a long "oo" despite the single "o" — explains that he'd pulled a hamstring muscle as spring training was ending. On the plane going up to Boston, manager Ralph Houk and coaches Dick Howser and Elston Howard asked if he wanted to go on the disabled list or be the designated hitter — the player who bats for the pitcher, a rule the American League adopted that year. "I told them I wanted to be the DH," says Blomberg, who drew a walk — with the bases loaded — in his first appearance as the designated hitter at Fenway Park.
Blomberg, a member of the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, will tell more tales of his years as a Yankee slugger, as well as his stint managing the Israel Baseball League's Beit Shemesh Blue Sox, at the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona Men's Night Out event on Thursday, April 25 at 6 p.m. at the Tucson Jewish Community Center.
For Blomberg, who grew up in Atlanta, Ga., a witness to discrimination against Jews, blacks and other minorities, playing for the Yankees was "the greatest thing in the whole world."
He was a high school all-star in baseball, football and basketball, and had a basketball scholarship to UCLA, but then the Yankees chose him as the number one pick of the 1967 amateur draft.
"It was a no-brainer when I got drafted by them. Do I want to go up to New York, where all the Jews were, to go up there to play and feel like a role model to all the Jews? That was a very easy decision to make," he says.
Although he experienced anti-Semitism from some major league players, and even some of the fans, Blomberg would rather talk about the joys of baseball.
His book, "Designated Hebrew," as told to Dan Schlossberg, was published in 2006. A year later he managed the Beit Shemesh Blue Sox, taking them to the Israel Baseball League's championship. "I won the World Series against Art Shamsky," who managed the Modi'in Miracles, he says, still clearly delighted. "Art Shamsky was with the Mets, I was with the Yankees, and the Yankees beat the Mets."
Israelis enjoyed the IBL, "but unfortunately it was under-capitalized and didn't last long enough," he says. Blomberg's own career as a player — he also spent a year with the Chicago White Sox — was cut short due to injuries.
These days, he keeps busy with a show on New York's WFAN radio station, a baseball camp in the Poconos, and speaking tours on behalf of the Yankees. His book is available at www.ronblombergyankees.com.
The fourth annual Men's Night Out event also will include the presentation of the 2013 MENtor Award to Gerry Tumarkin.
"Gerry is one of those people who is always there for our community. Whether it's in leadership for the JCC or Federation — Gerry was actually board chair of the JCC at the same time that his wife, Linda, was board chair of the Federation — through all of his years in Tucson, Gerry has always made the Jewish community a top priority in his life. Add that to the fact that he's just a whole lot of fun to be around. It's no surprise that the committee chose him as this year's MENtor of the Year," says JFSA President and CEO Stuart Mellan.
A deli dinner and beer will be served, with a vegetarian option available. Admission is $36, plus a minimum pledge of $180 to the 2013 Federation Community Campaign for men ages 30 and up. For men under 30, the minimum pledge is $36 and for students it is $18. Donations are tax-deductible. Reservations can be made at www.jewishtucson.org/mensnightout, or contact Karen Graham at 577-9393, ext. 118.

We received the Ultimaker 2 printer two days back. Today, we did the calibration and tried to print the UltimakerRobot. It printed the base (two or three layers) and nothing else.
Motor associated with the filament: (last part of the video): Why is it turning clockwise and anticlockwise? Is it an expected behavior?
Please let me know what the issue is and what should be done to fix this.
Next time try to stop it from printing much sooner. At this point your filament is probably ground to dust in the feeder so you will have to fix that issue first.
Not sure why it stopped. It looks like you have 2 different colors though? White then gray?
I'm thinking the gray filament never loaded properly. I always cut the tip of the filament to a point before loading - you probably have the filament stuck just at the lip of the white part (the teflon part) inside the head. After fixing the other issue try "move material" and move filament up and down until it gets past that ledge and it starts extruding. Extrude for a while to get any burnt PLA out of the nozzle.
Now to your other issue - likely ground filament. First turn off power and pull firmly out the bottom. If the entire filament comes out then yay - just cut it off and throw it away and reload (but now with sharpened tip).
If the filament breaks at the feeder then remove bowden from feeder: remove the horse shoe shaped clip, push down hard on the outer white clip and then lift firmly on the bowden (the clear tube) (again this is at the feeder, not the head). Do not lift on the bowden untill you can get the clip to go down otherwise the metal blades in the bowden holder will scratch up your bowden (not a disaster but you can only do this so many times - if you scrape badly you can always cut the last 2mm off the end of the bowden).
Now you should be able to pull the filament up through the feeder and then out through the tube - throw it away and put it back together and start over.
Thank you for the guidance. It worked after pulling out the filament and loading it back again. Yes, I had to dismantle the 'head' and put it all back again.

Q: How can I autocomplete unique values from a list in Ruby on Rails 3? I'd like each new title record in my application to have an ISBN field which autocompletes, using values from a table (I can import a CSV file). The trick is that each new autocompletion needs to use a unique ISBN.

A: If you already have the ISBN values in a table, and the ISBN is a key field (which it certainly should be, since ISBNs are unique?) then really you're not creating a new record, are you?
Wouldn't it be better to read your CSV file into your table beforehand, creating records for each of the ISBNs, and have your app update these records, rather than create new ones?

A: In your model, use validates_uniqueness_of :isbn
Andy raises some good questions though!
