Q: How to override selected color in theme override for material ui for react I would like to override the selected text color for all tabs in material ui for React.  I know I can override some portions with code such as this:
const theme = createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiTab: {
      root: {
        color: '#000000',
        backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
        '&:hover': {
          backgroundColor: 'rgba(108, 130, 168, 0.11764705882352941)',
          color: '#000000',
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

followed by
 <MuiThemeProvider theme={theme}>
    <HomePage/>
 </MuiThemeProvider>

However, when the tab is selected it applies a class such as '.MuiTab-textColorPrimary-144.MuiTab-selected-146'.  How can I specify a global override color for textColorPrimary for the Tab component when it is selected?  I'm specifically interested in a global override and not an individual instance override.  Lacking a specific way for the Tab component, how would I specify a global override for 'selected' primaryTextColor?

A: The CodeSandbox example in the accepted answer no longer works in the latest version of MUI (3.9.1) and when I try to fix the issue with the suggested change, it gives yet another error message.  See screen captures below.  See solution below.

eps1lon showed me how to do this on this code sandbox.
This should now be the accepted answer.

A: CODE:
const theme = createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiTabs: {
      indicator: {
        backgroundColor: orange[700]
      }
    },
    MuiTab: {
      root: {
        "&:hover": {
          backgroundColor: pink[100],
          color: pink[700]
        }
      },
      selected: {
        backgroundColor: orange[100],
        color: orange[700],
        "&:hover": {
          backgroundColor: green[100],
          color: green[700]
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

LIVE EXAMPLE:
https://codesandbox.io/s/mj9x1zy4j9

A: also possible to use TabIndicatorProps
<Tabs
  value={value}
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  TabIndicatorProps={{
    style: {
      backgroundColor: "#D97D54"
    }
  }}
>
...
</Tabs>

if you need none-indicator
const theme = createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiTabs: {
      indicator: {
        backgroundColor: `transparent`
      }
    },

A: In order to override the selected rule, you need to use the $ruleName syntax.
The rule override should be inside the root definition:
(Forked code sandbox with the fixed syntax)
const theme = createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiTabs: {
      indicator: {
        backgroundColor: orange[700]
      }
    },
    MuiTab: {
      root: {
        "&:hover": {
          backgroundColor: pink[100],
          color: pink[700]
        },
        "&$selected": {
          backgroundColor: orange[100],
          color: orange[700],
          "&:hover": {
            backgroundColor: cyan[500],
            color: green[700]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

A: Another way could be:
MuiTab: {
  styleOverrides: {
    root: {
      color: `${colors.neutral30} !important`,
      '&.Mui-selected': {
        color: `${colors.secondary} !important`,
      },
    },
  },
},

A: You should insert the selected to the root node Like this:
  const theme = createMuiTheme({
    overrides: {
      MuiTab: {
        root: {
          "&:hover": {
            backgroundColor: pink[100]
          },
          selected: {
            backgroundColor: orange[100]
          }
        },
      }
    }
});

Go ask Alice: Gemma Arterton on disappearing into Alice Creed
There's not a word uttered in the first I don't know how many minutes. The men just get down to business, boarding up windows in the sad, anonymous flat, going to the hardware store, soundproofing—the menace begins with their silence. The silence ends with the muffled screams of the woman they snatch off the street, whisk away in their van, and hastily sequester. They gag her, cuff her to a bed, scissor off her clothes, prepare the bedpan, show her the loaded gun. From this claustrophobic set-up things only gradually loosen, or rather unravel. The Disappearance of Alice Creed, J. Blakeson's feature debut, is taut, bracing, immensely resourceful, and twisty as all hell, sometimes too much so for its own good.
Best then to say as little as possible about the narrative, but it should spoil very little to discuss the acting. The always marvelous Eddie Marsan as the elder of the kidnapping duo is riveting, a control freak prone to losing control, a barking attack dog who just wants to have his belly rubbed, his goatee rendering his face rat-like every time he blows his top and the crinkles round his nose bunch up as though about to crack. As the junior, cutie-pie criminal, Martin Compston, the young actor who made an auspicious debut in Ken Loach's Sweet Sixteen, has a tougher time in a perhaps unfairly demanding part as the centre of more than one game of trust. But I'm guessing it's Gemma Arterton as Alice that you're probably most curious about.
Arterton drew attention for her brief but memorable role in Quantum of Solace—mostly the sort of attention that's accompanied by involuntary salivating—before appearing in such straightjacketing and spectacularly lame mega-movies as The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and the new Clash of the Titans. Her name has of late most often been preceded by the term "Bond Girl," which seems condescending when weighed against her RADA training, her eponymous role in BBC's Tess d'Urbervilles, her already impressive body of stage work, and her upcoming starring roles in Stephen Frears' Tamara Drewe and Burden of Desire, in which she'll play a Haligonian. None of which, I freely confess, was I even aware of before preparing to interview her. But I suspect Arterton's profile is about to change.
I met with Arterton in the lobby of a Toronto hotel. She was genuinely lovely, very friendly, thoughtful and chatty, twisting her dark locks while working through her responses. She seemed happy just to be discussing work that didn't involve her wearing copper bikinis or enunciating hambone lines about time and destiny.
JB: What drew you to this project? It promised to put you into some nasty situations and couldn't have seemed like the most appetizing shoot.
Gemma Arterton: It was appetizing to me because I'd just finished a film that I felt like I hadn't acted in at all, or if I had it must have been terrible. So I wanted to make sure I could still act! [Laughs] I wanted to choose something really terrifying, something difficult. I also just liked the script. I was mostly getting things just like the things I'd already done and they mostly seemed really boring. I knew if I kept playing those roles my shelf life would expire quickly. This script came along because the casting director was a believer in me. I read it and thought it was brilliant. It was a glamourless role, very raw, visceral, so I went to meet J. He later confessed that before we met he just assumed I wouldn't be able to do it. His preconceptions were absolutely fair. People don't know what you can do until you do it.
JB: I guess he hadn't seen your stage work? Or Tess?
GA: No, he hadn't seen the stage work, and Tess isn't really his type of TV. But I finally went in to read for it and he gave me the part on the spot.
JB: Were you at all nervous about placing yourself in such a vulnerable position with someone who hadn't made a feature before?
GA: You know, I probably should have been. I guess I'm just a very trusting person. But the script made me think he must have a very good mind for psychology, and his short film showed tremendous potential. Everybody has to start somewhere. Someone gave me a role once that they probably had doubts about. Sometimes you just have to have faith. It was actually kind of great that he was a first-time director because he kept discovering what the film was really about along with the rest of us, and that's how it should always be on a film set. It felt like a genuinely collaborative effort, very free and creative, which was such a contrast for me having previously made these very controlled movies.
JB: You spend so much time bound and gagged. Were there moments when things became too claustrophobic?
GA: I'm not the type of actor that likes to get too carried away. I always go for it in a scene, but as much as I can I then try to snap out of it right afterwards, you know, tell a joke, take a brake. But there were scenes where it got to be too much. There was one particular scene where I got so wound up. I asked them please to take me out of the handcuffs, and I ran into the toilet—which was actually the toilet you see in the film—locked myself in and just… [loudly gasps for air]. I just needed to get it out, but then I went back and we got on with it. When you're crying all day it takes its toll. That's only natural, that it emotionally wears you down. By the end I was just exhausted.
JB: Did you ever feel like you were playing multiple roles? You have these layers of acting going on, one being you, Gemma, trying to inhabit Alice, another being Alice trying to play the willing participant in, well, let's just call it a scheme within the scheme.
GA: It's true. Some of the most satisfying scenes to play are the ones where Alice is lying. One of my favourite screen acting moments ever is where Ben Kingsley's lying about smoking on the plane in Sexy Beast. It's brilliant because he's making it up as he goes along. The audience knows that—you can see him calculating it in his head and yet it's so subtle. Anyway, for me, as soon as I plan something it just becomes terrible. But if you're very alert and working closely with your fellow actor it usually comes together. Eddie and Martin are fantastic. Even when the camera was just on me they would give it their best. Sometimes you'd hear them say, "Jesus, I just gave my best performance when the camera wasn't even on me!" [Laughs]
JB: But of course their performance, albeit indirectly, does wind up on screen, because if things are working in the way you're describing then what they're delivering is reflected in what you're doing, right?
GA: Absolutely. To me it's so frustrating when actors don't stick around when they're not on camera. My first-ever job I had to do a scene—it was a Stephen Poliakoff film—and the actress I was working against wasn't there. My first-ever acting job and for my whole scene I was doing it to a cross with a prompt reading the lines. What does Stanislavski say? Acting is reacting. If you give, they give. That's how you get the best work. I have to say I was genuinely petrified at times with Alice because Eddie was so scary. Sometimes I didn't know if he was going to punch me. Of course he was completely in control.
JB: He's also scarier with the beard.
GA: I know! He's actually got this cuddly, kind face.
JB: Sort of gnome-like.
GA: [Laughs] Yeah, that's right. He's the sweetest guy you'll ever meet, always all, "Darling, are you all right?" Then as soon as he puts the balaclava on and starts shouting it's terrifying. He snaps right in and out of it. That's proper acting.
JB: Though it's extremely selective with what it reveals, the film seems to demand that you imply a great deal of back-story for Alice.
GA: I did create a lot of back-story. I made all these little films of myself—I had quite a bit of free time out there on the Isle of Man. It was really helpful to get a sense of who Alice was. But when it came to performing all that work seemed really irrelevant because Alice's situation is so extreme. If there were a film about Alice Creed before being kidnapped you'd see a completely different person than the Alice in our film. Over its course she transforms, becomes much more brutal, ruthless and manipulative. It's her method of survival.
JB: In a way, your character remains the most mysterious, doesn't she? We actually learn far more about her captors.
GA: I love that, because we're usually so spoon-fed in cinema nowadays. I get frustrated with that. It's nice not knowing every detail.
JB: Does playing a character like Alice, being at the centre of such a traumatic story, teach you something about others or yourself you weren't aware of before?
GA: I learned a lot about thinking on the spot, the fight or flight thing. Your brain goes to this other place where you lose sense of time and space. And I learned a lot about myself actually, and about my work. One of the reasons I was making this movie was because I doubted myself quite a lot. I wasn't sure if I could access those things needed for the role. What I learned was that if you're focused on working intensely with the other person you can achieve almost anything. You've got the director to support you. You've got the other actors. You're not doing it on your own.

Covid-19 Delta Variant is winning the Race due to Low Vaccination rates
By Brian Behling on July 18, 2021
Covid-19 immunization rates are declining, and cases are on the rise, aggravated by the more transmissible Delta variant—and a specialist believes that getting more Americans vaccinated is the key to winning the race against the spread. Vaccines have been available to most Americans for months. Still, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 48.2 percent of the country is completely vaccinated, and the rate of new vaccinations is declining.
Meanwhile, the number of cases filed has risen considerably. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the rate of new cases in the preceding week was at least 10% higher in 47 states than the previous week. Thirty-five of them have witnessed the growth of more than 50%. Officials and academics have blamed disinformation for the high number of unvaccinated Americans, a population currently experiencing the pandemic's worst effects.
According to Collins, more than 99 percent of those who are now hospitalized with Covid-19 are unvaccinated. That means people who have been vaccinated have enough protection to avoid becoming ill, according to Collins. Collins said, "This is not just a matter of people expressing opinions that might be wrong, this is life and death."
He added, the vaccines are still proving to be quite effective against the Delta form, which is currently one of the top concerns among health experts. Collins expressed his hope that the American public will pay attention to the research and decide that vaccination is the safest and most prudent course of action. Experts have theorized that Covid-19 vaccination boosters may be required in the future, but several have stated that the current immunizations appear to provide adequate protection for the time being.

In the wee hours of Jan. 1, 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the tax changes that resulted will drastically alter the way commercial real estate professionals plan for major transactions. Additionally, tax provisions written into the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2013, will affect some taxpayers' real estate decisions. This synopsis focuses on the impact of ATRA and the Affordable Care Act on real estate-related tax issues.
individual income tax brackets and capital gains and dividends rates that were previously in place. Ordinary income tax rates remain the same and the tax rate on capital gains and dividends for most taxpayers stays at 15 percent.
Individuals and married couples with adjusted gross incomes greater than $400,000 and $450,000 respectively will be subject to a top marginal rate of 39.6 percent on ordinary income and 20 percent tax rate on capital gains and dividends.
From a business standpoint, ATRA extends several popular tax breaks that relate to real estate, most notably, the 50 percent bonus depreciation allowance under Internal Revenue Code Section 168(k) for qualified property acquired and placed in service prior to Jan. 1, 2014 (Jan. 1, 2015, for certain longer-lived and transportation property). Qualified property is generally defined as new property with a useful life of less than 20 years, computer software, water utility property, or qualified leasehold improvement property.
ATRA also revives the rule treating qualified leasehold improvements as 15-year property, thus making such property eligible for bonus depreciation. Consult with a certified public accountant or other tax professional for questions regarding what property falls within the Internal Revenue Service's definition of qualified leasehold improvements.
Qualified leasehold improvements are depreciated over a 15-year life and are eligible for 50 percent bonus depreciation. Qualified leasehold improvements are defined as any improvement to an interior portion of a building that is nonresidential real property if the improvement is made pursuant to a lease (generally) by the lessee (or any sublessee), and the improvement is placed in service more than three years after the date the building was first placed in service. Certain improvements are not included, such as any improvement that enlarges the building, adds an elevator or escalator, or adds any structural component benefiting a common area or the internal structural framework of the building. This can be a significant benefit to landlords making improvements under long-term leases.
ATRA also retroactively increases IRC Section 179 maximum expensing amounts for 2012 from $139,000 to $500,000. Effective for 2013, ATRA increases the Section 179 maximum expensing amount from $25,000 to $500,000. After 2013, the maximum expensing amount is again scheduled to drop to $25,000. This opens a window of opportunity for substantial write-offs during 2013 for certain equipment associated with the development of real estate.
The expansion of benefits under Section 179 is good news for businesses and individuals who invest in personal property. However, Section 179 applies only to personal property and qualified real property, such as qualified leasehold improvements, qualified restaurant property, and qualified retail improvement properties. Additionally, Section 179 is limited in the case of luxury autos and some SUVs. Another limitation of Section 179 is that it is not allowed on leased property except in very limited instances.
Perhaps the most significant effect ATRA has in regard to the 2012 tax year is that ATRA increases the Alternative Minimum Tax exemptions for all taxpayers on a permanent basis. Previously, Congress would "patch" the AMT problem every year by increasing the AMT exemption for that tax year only. This permanent change will prevent many taxpayers from owing additional tax with their 2012 income tax returns. For 2012, the AMT exemption amount increases from $33,750 to $50,600 for single taxpayers, $45,000 to $78,750 for taxpayers married filing joint returns, and $22,500 to $39,375 for married taxpayers filing separate returns. Going forward, the AMT exemption amounts will be adjusted annually for inflation.
The new 3.8 percent tax imposed by the Affordable Care Act took effect Jan. 1, 2013. This tax applies to taxpayers with AGIs greater than $200,000 if single and $250,000 if married. The tax is imposed on the lesser of the net investment income or the amount of AGI over the threshold limit. Net investment income includes interest income, dividends, rental income, and capital gains on the sale of property, among other types of passive income.
However, the gain on sale of trade or business assets does not qualify as net investment income. Thus, if a taxpayer is actively involved in a trade or business that is sold, the gain on the sale of the business (even if some of the gain is capital) is not subject to the 3.8 percent on investment income. As such, rental income is not considered net investment income if the rents are earned as part of a trade or business activity, and if the taxpayer actively participates in the activity.
Remember that most of these changes affect the 2013 tax year and will not be reflected in this year's return for 2012. However, some of the "permanent" changes enacted by ATRA are not necessarily permanent if Congress decides to overhaul the entire tax code this year. Given the ongoing fiscal discussions, more changes affecting taxpayers could materialize later this year.

When Latin American celebrity chef Lorena Garcia first came to Las Vegas seven years ago she had no idea she would one day be here with her own restaurant. Lorena came to shoot the "Top Chef" cooking show challenge but en route to the remote studio set up in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas she passed by The Venetian where a wall displayed a lineup of all-male celebrity culinary icons.
She vowed that one day she would create a vision board putting her photograph in the center of the men promising sometime in the future she would reach their same level with a Las Vegas venue. She didn't win "Top Chef" — only getting as far as the semifinals — but she did eventually land her own Chica restaurant at The Venetian. And now she has a new vision board. She's convinced that will come true, too! More on that a little later.
We sat down together for dinner with some of her favorite dishes where she told me: "The reality show was six, seven years ago but that wall of the culinary titans was in my mind all the time. It was something that definitely caught my eye and I wanted to be what it represented more than anything.
Q: One never really thinks of it as a smart, hip cuisine here in Nevada. Maybe in Miami, yes. But there was some education here, yes?
A: Absolutely. I think that one of the biggest challenges is how you can make a food that is almost street food and very, if you would, pedestrian to a point, and how we can elevate it to the highest level, but it's still being approachable. And I think that is the key, because Latin cuisine is all about that sentiment, that feeling, and that was something that I always kept in my mind, that I wanted to be approachable but at the same time, I need to make it high-end and really what it represents who I am today. And that's when the menu was born.
Q: When we think south-of-the-border cooking, we always think Mexican. But there's a big difference between Latin American cuisine and Mexican food?
A: One hundred percent — when you see Mexican cuisine, you're talking about chiles, spices and how these mole and strong sauces come about, and it's definitely one of the patrimonies of the world, so it's very worldly known. But, we have such a melting pot of cultures right in Latin America, and when I say Venezuela, Columbia, Central America, all the way down to Brazil, Peru and Argentina, we have common threads of ingredients but techniques are different. And me spending so much time in Latin America and Argentina, lived there for many years and have spent tons of time there. And, maybe from Venezuela, I figure why don't I do what comes through me, which is my studies, my techniques, and what I have been learning through my years of culinary arts. And this style of cuisine was born.
Q: How is it now after being here five months on the Strip, you are one of a handful of women? Is it still a boys' club?
A: I am 100 percent convinced that it's a boys' club, but I think women are stepping out of the kitchen in their homes, and they're coming into the real world, which is a strong kitchen that when you see the personalities that leave the kitchen, they're strong women, they're leaders. And I think that we have so many talented female chefs. I wish that we can see more.
Q: How have you felt about cooking and running a restaurant in Vegas? Is it tough?
A: It is tough. To a point though it's what I expected. I think that I am … having exposed to the masses when it comes to how to do the description in the menu so people can feel familiarized with the dishes, and not be so boring. And, John Kunkel, my partner, from Yardbird has also taught me and inspired me in so many ways, of how we can keep the integrity of the brand but also be accessible to those people who just want their meat and potatoes, people that eat like that. So that's what we wanted to do, not only from the ingredients that we use and the method of cooking, but also the description in the menu, so you feel comfortable walking in and knowing what to expect.
Q: What do you think of the food scene in Las Vegas?
A: Unbelievable. Let me tell you, I came here years ago and they change and they grow. The culinary scene here in Las Vegas is like the best in the world. I think that you have to be good to sustain in Vegas because mediocre or just good-enough restaurant is not gonna cut it. So, you really have to be outstanding and understand that quantity cannot sacrifice the quality of the food, and that's the tricky part.
It is more than what I expected. I thought that I was a little, not skeptical if you will, but anxious — that would be the word. I felt a little anxious about how my cuisine was going to be perceived, and it has a big responsibility to be on that wall, as well because you better have the pipes, and you (better be) walking the walk. But then, I see the response and it's been absolutely amazing and super supportive, and you have been an amazing part of that, so imagine how happy I am. And I continue to put (out) the effort, you see me here every month.
Q: Let's have a little fun. What would you order if you came to Chica for dinner?
A: I'm a very simpler eater, so I don't eat much. You know what, I love my huancaina sauce and my salads. I love my burger, it's absolutely delicious. The steak and frites with the churrasco, the chimichurri and the papitas chicas with the huancaina sauce, and the French Fry. Brunch, oh my goodness, we're talking about arepas, cachapas, empanadas, and take it to the next level. It's something that when I come in, it's like I feel a little bit of home here.
Q: Is it difficult to get ingredients in America, Nevada especially, for Latin American cuisine?
A: It is not. I mean, we're bringing some of our ingredients from L.A. We bring others from Miami, and flours and something very specific from my distributors in Venezuela. So, it hasn't been that difficult because I think through the time and the boom of Latin cuisine in the states, we have been able to have accessibility to these ingredients. It's been actually easier than what I expected to be.
Q: So what's been the difficult thing?
A: The difficult thing. You know, really trying to respect the brand, and not forget that if somebody wants a pizza, we're not going to make a pizza just to sell it. I think that when we can stay true to our brand, to what we do, the culture and the feeling that we want when you walk into Chica. And I think that keeping that, and at the same time being profitable — being accessible, switching a little bit of the energy of aggressiveness in the kitchen into passion and really giving that energy to the food, because something happens to the person that is making the food. When you see a cook that is just frustrated and angry, almost, because there is so much heat and so much intensity, when you can turn that into passion then you go to the people. And, that's when you have the best.
I think that has been one of the most difficult things — is trying to gauge some of that and make it a focus — if I can explain myself well. And, again, when you walk outside, how by our description and by our food, (we are) also able to be accessible.
Q: Would you describe Las Vegas being a challenge for you? How would you describe your arrival in Las Vegas?
A: I think that you always have to have a challenge, and you have to give a little bit in order to make things happen. Like anything in life, you have to be flexible and you have to accommodate if you really … if you aren't flexible you're gonna break … and the bending. So, I think that really knowing how to be able to accommodate without losing the essence of what we do — that has been the most challenging thing, and yes, definitely it is a challenge.
Q: Being honest a lot of people, thought of you as an unknown factor at the beginning when you first came here. Nobody knew you. Everybody said Latin American food in the Italian Venetian, oh, I don't know how that's going to work, taking over the DB Brasserie space. Three strikes against you from the very beginning. Were you frightened?
A: I was unknown. there is always a little bit of anxiety, if you're gonna walk the walk, you better do it, and you have to have the pipes. But I have a certain level of confidence because when John, my partner, and I sat down, I thought that I was ready. And, I didn't do it before because I wasn't. So I think that the confidence came through when those moments of insecurity comes about, right, so I think that I've never done a step in my life in my career without being confident about it. And that's time to do it.
Q: This is your fourth restaurant but your first big proper one. The first three are airport boutique eateries in Miami, Atlanta and Dallas. Is having a proper place intimidating in itself?
A: Totally, and a big learning experience. But let me tell you, there's not a better feeling than a recipe that I created, take it to a scale and then turn around and see 200 people sitting in the restaurant eating it. Having that projection of an idea that it was born and how from the moment of execution to actually seeing it live, it is a feeling like no other.
Q: Is every night opening night?
A: It is every night — opening night, absolutely, at least in my eyes. We're very much in touch, and as you see I like to be present. And one of the things that they tell me in the kitchen is that: "Well, chef, we didn't expect to see you so much," and that's OK." I want people to know that I am here, that I'm not just gonna be the face on the wall. … I'm in the kitchen injecting that energy. They have their training, they know what they're making, and it's not about that. But it's really for them to see that the passion, idea and the love behind it are here to support them, and I think that has a lot to do with it as well.
A restaurant has to have a soul. And I am the soul here at Chica. You have to put your face (out), you have to show up. And, that's what I try to do every single month, in all my places, not only here.
Q: So, tell me the most favorite thing on the menu of yours — the No. 1 favorite.
A: That's a tough one. Robin. It's like picking your favorite child. You know my sauces, my picos, they're done with so much finesse. When a pico de gallo is made by knife skill, which is how we do it here, we don't put anything in the robo cook or start blending things. That would be one of my favorite things because no matter what you put it on it's just absolutely amazing. My arepas, because it's the food that I grew up with, and being able to see an arepa in The Venetian in Las Vegas, you can imagine what it does to me.
Q: It's all a form of street food isn't it?
Q: So, Chica food is not ordinary food by any means?
Q: You got here thanks to a vision board. Something tells me though you're too strong not to have drawn a new vision board. What's on it now?
A: On the vision board now will be many sisters for Chica, many little sisters for Chica. Also, continue to do television, which is something else that I absolutely love. I started producing now. I'm an executive producer for a couple of shows. And that has done a lot for my career. I love to communicate, and God has given me that passion as well. And continue to write and chef.
I continue to be in touch with the food. I cook every day. I'm in the kitchen every day, and that is something that I never want to miss because I think once you lose in touch with your kitchen, something gets lost. So I like to stay grounded that way.

Statement Against Racism and Inequity
The Governors' Climate and Forests (GCF) Task Force and the Laboratory for Energy and Environmental Policy innovation (LEEP) join with others across the United States and around the world to condemn racism and oppression in all forms. As a global network, we are committed to building, fostering, and ensuring safe, collaborative relationships and a working environment that values human rights and human dignity, diversity, equity, and inclusion. We commit to the following practices as we continue our work with our members and partners around the world:
We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and other movements around the world that bring the stark realties of marginalized and oppressed communities to the fore. We affirm that "silence is violence" and support safe spaces and practices for protest, dialogue, and co-construction of better structural and practical approaches to address and reverse centuries of oppression and injustice toward black people, people of color, minorities, Indigenous Peoples, women, and other oppressed populations.
We will re-evaluate how we function as a global network and laboratory by taking a hard look inward to reassess the ways in which we may be individually and collectively perpetuating racism, privilege, bias, and structural inequities in our work and in our daily lives. We will reform oppressive processes and structures and develop practices across our network to ensure that the GCF Task Force and LEEP serve as safe spaces for dialogue and action that is antiracist and anti-oppressive as we work to fulfill our network's broader mission.
In our public fora, we will call upon the GCF Task Force Governors, Secretaries, and key partners to use their positions of leadership to speak and act to end racial oppression in all forms. We will strive to mobilize the leaders who work within and in partnership with our network to take an unwavering stance that condemns racism and injustice toward all people and works to create inclusive structures and practices that celebrate human diversity, cultures, and rights, and ensure safety and respect for all.


DENVER, CO — Verizon Wireless, the leading wireless company with the most reliable voice and data network, today opens its fourth "evolution" communications store in the state. The store is the next evolution in the wireless retail experience, offering consumers hands-on interaction with wireless voice, data, music and video services in a sleek, new full-service environment. The new store is located at 6735 S. Cornerstar Way in Aurora, on the northwest corner of Arapahoe Road and Parker Road.
"Our new 2,900 square-foot store in Aurora provides plenty of space for both shopping and customer service, in keeping with our commitment to deliver innovative voice and data plans, exciting new devices and services and the best possible wireless experience," said Melanie Braidich, regional president of Verizon Wireless.
Verizon Wireless, the leader in customer loyalty among wireless carriers, ranked highest in customer satisfaction in the West region, which includes Colorado in the most recent J.D. Power and Associates' 2008 Wireless Regional Customer Satisfaction Index Study(SM), Volume 2. The J.D. Power and Associates study released last week measures customer satisfaction based on six key factors that impact overall wireless carrier performance: call quality, customer service, service plan options, brand image, cost of service, and billing.
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $700 million in Colorado and nearly $45 billion nationally since it was formed – $5.5 billion on average every year – to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services.
Verizon Wireless today opened its first Communications Store in Noblesville at 14139 Towne Center Boulevard in Hamilton Town Square.
Verizon Wireless today announced that it will donate $2,000 to The Shelter in Columbia, Mo, to support the agency's hotline program. The hotline, a vital link to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, provides 24/7/365 referral information, emotional support and safety planning. The hotline averages four calls a day and has helped more than 15,000 victims since it began operation in 2000.

Washington, D.C. – Less than one week after President Obama signed into law an annual defense spending bill that eliminated onerous foreign transfer restrictions for Guantanamo detainees who have been cleared for release, the Obama Administration has transferred three Uighur detainees from Guantanamo to Slovakia. Human Rights First notes that the transfer, which took place on Monday, reduces the Guantanamo population to 155 men and is a step in the right direction as the administration doubles down on brining the number of Guantanamo detainees down to zero.
Human Rights First's Dixon Osburn said, "The transfer of 11 detainees in 2013 is a promising sign that the administration intends to make good on its promise to close the Guantanamo detention facility. The path ahead for reducing the Guantanamo population will likely be a process of whittling the numbers down as the administration obtains security assurances from host nations for those detainees who have been cleared for transfer."
The Uighurs transferred yesterday are among more than 70 detainees who have long been cleared by U.S. intelligence and security agencies, but who have had their transfers blocked by congressionally-enacted transfer bans. The vast majority of the remaining detainees will face Periodic Review Boards, an interagency process of assessing whether the men pose any remaining significant security threat to the United States. Detainees could be cleared for transfer through the review boards.
"If the administration does not vastly accelerate the review board process and complete all of them in 2014, President Obama will not be able keep his promise of closing Guantanamo before the end of his second term," Osburn observed.
As reported in The Miami Herald, Yusef Abbas, 38,Hajiakbar Abdulghuper, 39, and Saidullah Khalik, 36, left the remote U.S. Navy base in a secret operation on Monday, according to U.S. government sources. Uighurs are part of a minority Muslim population in China that faces religious persecution and oppression by the Chinese government. Intelligence sources have confirmed that none of the Uighur detainees ever posed a threat to the United States.
This week's Guantanamo transfers and the recent congressional elimination of transfer bans are both recommendations contained in Human Rights First's plan to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo.

Summary: With a lack of funding to support the state's legal-aid programs, a proposal was made to increase Bar fees to help support funding.
A proposal by former Supreme Court Justice Raoul Cantero and supported by over 500 lawyers was rejected by the Florida Supreme Court. The proposal would have allowed the Bar to charge an additional $100 a year to provide extra funding for the legal-aid programs in the state. The current dues are at $265 a year. The Bar did not support this proposal.
The Justices split the vote 4-3 acknowledged that "there is an urgent need to develop new solutions and sustainable sources of funding for legal aid." They wrote that there needed to be a more complete approach to the need than just raising Bar dues.
The dissenting Justices made a point that while "lawyers of this state cannot and should not be required to be the group of individuals solely and exclusively responsible for the monetary needs or programs necessary to provide access to justice for all Florida citizens" this proposal would have been a simple tool to provide "relief and a safety net" to those most needy.
In the past few years, there has been a growing need for legal services for the needy but less funding has been coming in to support the need. The Florida Bar Foundation currently takes the interest from lawyers' trust accounts to fund the aid programs. Interest rates are low right now, causing a reduction in revenue to be used.

What is a Smart Contract?
|In Business, Blockchain, Government
|By Joel Neidig
I get asked the question a lot. And in the real world, what we think of a contract can be one sided sometimes or misleading, as we've all probably had that experience.
Example: You enter your local cell phone store, because it's time to upgrade that iPhone 5 you've been clinching to for soooo long to the the latest and greatest. The sales associate greets you, "What can I help you with", and you say "I need an upgrade and I'd like to try that new one without the home button, you know..? the one you need your face to unlock it with." They smile and bring you to the kiosk where you can checkout, and after going over all the features you decide to go for it. As you go through the purchase process they keep whipping out this tablet and you have to initial, initial, sign here, sign here again, vile of blood, and then they ask for your first born. :-) all joking aside there was probably thousands of lines of small text that you just agreed to and you have no idea what it even said or even if you did know what it said you wouldn't be able to understand the lawyer jargon. And seriously, humans write this stuff? But hey, you got that new shiny phone which you'll probably drop next week and crack the screen and have to get it replaced.
Now, what if you actually understood what you were agreeing to and the other party, the "cell phone company" also came to agreement and both sides entered an understanding of the contract and this contract could execute seamlessly and effortlessly.
Blockchain and smart contracts have the potential to increase the speed and efficiency of consumer services. Government and companies are the custodians of vital information (Social Security numbers, tax information, and identities) The security built into blockchain could add a new level of trust and transparency while addressing data protection and privacy concerns. Also, you could be warned if the contract you were about to sign would add undo exposure to your bottom line or to your bank account.
Most of us live on a budget and understanding the long term exposure of a contract and how it would effect your life even in the smallest way would be beneficial. It's not like we take a lawyer with us everywhere we go, but what if that lawyer or the adjudication process was more seamless and automated? There has been much talk of, "who needs lawyers if there are smart contracts?" I think some of these legal issues will be resolved by smart contracts, but I don't think lawyers are going away anytime soon.
Another example or use case of blockchain and smart contracts would be title companies. By digital knowing who owns what property and there is no outstanding legal action or liens against that property or ownership would be greatly simplified and save title companies from doing some much investigative work. If you doing anything in the database world, think of smart contracts to blockchain are like stored procedures are to an SQL database. They are both prepared code that you can save, so the code can be reused over and over again. Just like a stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications that access a relational database management system. Such procedures are stored in the database data dictionary.
A smart contract is deployed on the blockchain and executed when certain conditions are met. There are obviously big differences to their uses and immutability and non-repudiation that I won't get into in this article. But rest assured, we'll all enjoy using smart contracts in the near future, just like we like having that new shiny phone and smart devices in our home. Keep calm and Blockchain on ;-)

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Sales of such software to Iran violate US export controls and sanctions.
"An indictment was unsealed today charging Mohammed Reza Rezakhah, 39 and Mohammed Saeed Ajily, 35, both Iranian nationals, with a criminal conspiracy relating to computer fraud and abuse, unauthorized access to and theft of information from, computers, wire fraud, exporting a defense article without a license, and violating sanctions against Iran," the statement said.
According to the indictment, Rezakhah and Ajily conspired together to hack into computers to obtain software, which they would then sell and redistribute in Iran and other countries outside the United States.
As part of the conspiracy, Rezakh hacked Arrow Tech, a Vermont-based engineering consulting and software design company, and stole pieces of its PRODAS (Projectile Rocket Ordnance Design and Analysis System) software, according to the indictment.
PRODAS is a ballistics software that assists engineers in designing projectiles ranging from bullets to GPS guided artillery shells.
Ajily, a businessman, marketed and promoted the stolen PRODAS software as one of the products he could offer to his Iranian clients, according to the indictment.
PRODAS software cannot be exported from the United States without a license from the US State Department.


On 16/17 September 2017, a team of intrepid hikers will be doing the Three Peaks Challenge.
They will be attempting to climb the highest peaks of England, Wales, and Scotland in a 24 hour period. This adventure has 2,926 metres of climbing and a total walking distance of 36km.
They will be raising money for a minibus for our clinic on the Island of Pemba on which many children are born with Club Foot - approx 20 cases each month on an Island with a population of just over 362,000.
The minibus is urgently needed for the clinic in order to visit the remote villages on the Island, provide a home transport service and to transport complex cases to and from the clinic.
The minibus will be invaluable in enabling the Charity to spread the word that treatment is available for this crippling disability and bring life and hope to those children who suffer with such pain and to the newborns whose lives can be transformed before their very first steps.
Please help us make a difference to these children's lives. Without treatment they will be disabled and unable to walk or run properly for the rest of their lives. The chances for these children without treatment are bleak.

Metro Profile
Interstate Operations Analysis
and Plan for Future Improvements
The last interstate operations analysis for the FM metropolitan area was completed in 2010-2011. Since that study began in 2010, the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) population has grown nearly 18 percent, from approximately 209,000 to over 246,000. The 2020 MSA population exceeded the 2020 projections that were in use during the last study by approximately 5,000. The 2035 population projections for the MSA, which were used as the basis for the 2011 Interstate Operations Study, were approximately 281,000, whereas the 2035 population projection developed in the Fargo-Moorhead 2016 Demographic Forecast ranged from 309,000 to 317,000. The 2045 projection is 330,000 to 342,000. These higher growth levels, combined with geographical expansion of urbanization are likely to yield significantly different recommendations than those of the 2011 study.
Both MnDOT and NDDOT anticipate reconstruction projects within the next decade, and wish to study the needs of the interstate in light of metropolitan area growth projections and freight usage. Both MnDOT and NDDOT will have significant roles as project partners. Local project partners involved in the project will include Cass and Clay Counties and the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo. Each city has the potential for future interchanges within their jurisdiction, as identified in Metro Grow.
Many of the recommendations of the 2011 study have been implemented or are in the process of being implemented. This study is intended to inform anticipated interstate highway reconstruction projects by looking at the interstate system as a whole, recognizing the collective impact that each interchange has on adjacent interchanges and on through traffic. The study will need to analyze the system based on future (2045) ADT and peak hour volumes, pinch points, weaving issues, potential collector-distributor opportunities, and potential need for, feasibility of, and system impacts of future interchanges. Metro COG is interested in determining how, where and when interstate highway congestion typically manifests and its average duration. One significant area of analysis is the I-94 bridge over the Red River. This bridge will need rehabilitation, and both NDDOT and MnDOT want a determination as to the future capacity needs of the bridge prior to investing significant funds in rehabilitation.
The boundaries of the study will include I-29 from 100th Avenue S to Argusville (Cass County 4), and I-94 from Cass County 15 (165th Ave SE interchange, also known as Exit 340 – Kindred) to MN 336/Clay County Highway 11. Future interchanges should be considered at the section-line arterial roadway alignments of 64th and 76th Avenues S in Fargo and 55th Street in Moorhead. Previous efforts such as the 76th Avenue South Corridor Study, the Moorhead GAP/AUAR and the MTP can provide insight into the consideration for new interchanges in recent years.
The need for and potential benefit of a ring route around the perimeter of the metro area will also be studied as part of the interstate operations analysis, to determine the extent to which such a facility has the potential to serve as a reliever to regional interstate routes. Ring route alternatives in Minnesota will include MN 336 and Clay County Highway 11. A ring route alignment in ND does not have a defined route, but past studies such as the Cass County Comprehensive and Transportation Plan (2018) and the alignment of the FM Diversion inform potential route alternatives. Metro Grow, the 2045 MTP (2019), called for additional study of a ring route in North Dakota and a similar facility on the Minnesota side, to provide an efficient alternative route around the metropolitan area for regional traffic as well as creating a more efficient route to make intra-regional trips than the grid arterial network in the FM region. The emphasis of the ring route analysis will be to determine the extent to which a ring route relieves traffic on portions of I-94 or I-29 and if that relief is adequate to prevent or delay the need for capacity expansions through 2045, and to determine if the impacts of a ring route are advantageous or disadvantageous compared to interstate improvements.
This study also needs to identify and document the likely environmental impacts of future interstate expansion projects, such as impacts to right-of-way, adjacent development, traffic noise, low income and minority neighborhoods (i.e. environmental justice), wetlands and stormwater, and winter visibility (snow control and ice management).
The interstate system is a barrier to active transportation in some portions of the metropolitan area. This study will need to identify locations where grade separated crossings are needed to facilitate bicycle and pedestrian modes of travel.
I-94 and I-29 are essential to the efficient movement of freight into, out of, and within the metropolitan area. The needs of truck traffic and the future changes in the volume of truck traffic within and through the metro area will be an important component of the study. The Regional Freight Plan (2017) may provide valuable information and insight.
Recommendations of the 2011 Interstate Operations Study included Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies that reduce peak demand on the Interstate System by five percent. These recommendations have not been accomplished and there is little appetite in the community to form a transportation management organization (TMO) for the metropolitan area in the foreseeable future.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)/Incident Management strategies that provide improved travel information and coordinated response to emergency situations were also recommended. Features that have been implemented to date include:
Digital message signs at key locations (12 full and medium sized DMS)
Completion of the Fargo-Moorhead Alternate Route & Traffic Incident Management Guidebook Project in December of 2017
I-94 Alternate Route Signing (Minnesota)
MAST system on the I-94 bridge deck
Since the completion of the 2011 Interstate Operations Analysis, the following improvements have been made:
Reconstruction of the I-94 and US 75 interchange
Auxiliary lane additions on I-94 between I-29 and 45th Street
Reconfiguration of the 25th Street I-94 interchange to add the EB slip ramp, reconfigure the loop ramp in the SW quadrant to be accessed by SB 25th Street only, eliminating NB left turn movements at the south ramp
32nd Ave S and I-29 interchange improvements, including reallocation of existing lanes on SB I-29 from I-94 to 32nd Ave S (improvements included a loop in the SW quadrant rather than the recommended NW loop ramp)
Reconstruction of the Sheyenne Street Interchange
Since the completion of the 2011 Interstate Operations Analysis, the following improvements are still underway:
Two-lane I-29/I-94 tri-level ramp (I-29 SB to I-94 EB, with the addition of an auxiliary lane on EB I-94 from the tri-level to 25th Street programmed for completion. As part of this project, weather and ice monitoring capabilities on the SB I-29 to EB I-94 ramp have also been completed.
Median barriers (either high-tension cable or concrete) have been installed, or are programmed for installation throughout the metro area. These were not a recommendation of the 2011 study.
Ramp metering was recommended, but has not been implemented.
Starting in 2021, I-29 bridges and connecting portions of highway south of Fargo will be constructed in a manner that will accommodate the alignment of the FM Diversion. The design of this new segment of highway and bridges will include forms of technology that will be compatible with data collection and connected vehicles.
The 2018 Alternate Route & Traffic Incident Guidebook recommended the development of a regional traffic operations center/transportation management center (TOC/TMC), or the coordination of operations regionally between individual traffic and transportation management centers. This was also recommended in two prior ITS studies and incident management strategies for the region. No action has been taken to move the metro area in this direction, with the exception of sharing information and video feeds between some jurisdictions and entities, including MATBUS, Red River Dispatch Center, ND Highway Patrol, and MN State Patrol. NDDOT is currently seeking funding for a statewide TMC to monitor operations and manage emergency and/or maintenance responses to conditions.
