A report from Statistics Canada shows Kelowna with the highest rate in the country for 2021. (File photo)
Kelowna had Canada's highest crime rate in 2021
Kelowna also ranked seventh worse in the country for violent crime
Gary Barnes
Aug. 3, 2022 11:00 a.m.
The crime rate in the Central Okanagan was significantly higher than the rest of Canada in 2021.
According to Statistics Canada, the Kelowna census metropolitan area (CMA), which covers Lake Country to Peachland, had a crime rate of 11,112 per 100,000 population last year compared to 2020, up 10 per cent. The national crime rate was 5,375.
A CMA is considered one or more neighbouring municipalities around a major urban core.
The Central Okanagan had a police-reported Crime Severity Index (CSI) of 122.3, which was second only to Lethbridge at 128.7. That city's crime rate was 9,836 per 100,000. The national CSI was 73.7. CSI measures the overall seriousness of crime from one year to the next by tracking the prevalence of crime within a community, and the seriousness of the crimes committed.
The Kelowna CMA ranked seventh worse in the country for violent crime. Thunder Bay had the worst rate ahead of Winnipeg and Sudbury.
Statistics Canada says an increase in violent crime across the country last year compared to 2020 was attributable in part to higher rates of sexual assault, harassing and threatening behaviours, and homicide, among others. Police reported 788 homicides in 2021, 29 more than the year before. The increase in homicides nationally was the result of more homicides in Ontario (37) and B.C. (25).
Among the provinces, opioid offences were highest in B.C. (57 per 100,000 population) and Kelowna was highest in the province (116). The Lethbridge CMA (124) was again highest in the country.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ A very difficult read.
"BlueBellow," by Alexis Pauline Gumbs [bio] (edited by Niall Harrison), appeared in Strange Horizons issue 01/16/17, published on January 16, 2017.
Her sister Sandra is, in Serena's eyes, an idealist. She teaches school, and believes in people. She's not deluded; she knows people let you down, but she always assumes the best. She appears to be immune to the hate/anger/evil though.
The support group is pretty funny—a caricature of support groups, in that different people are very passionate about very narrow issues. E.g. the one trying to get a recording of the mermaids speech, on the theory it's how they sound underwater. Or the one who wants it to all be about police brutality. Everything but the actual problem at hand.
Their message seems to be that the Middle Passage divided people in two. Some drowned and some survived, but, in a way, everyone was partly drowned. Everyone still carries around the weight of what happened. The mermaids want them to fix that.
And so they do. By walking into the sea together. We see it through Sandra's eyes, and she says it's beautiful, so she must not think they're going to their deaths. The key to what it all means is probably in that last text. "Meet me in the middle." Not the middle of the Atlantic, but find a place between being full of anger that eats you up vs. being a victim who makes excuses for the people who hurt you.
Con: Or it might mean something entirely different. It took two full reads through the text just to figure out the point of view in each section. The above interpretation of the ending is on particularly thin ice.
The story recommends reading "Ocean," by Phillis Wheatley, who supposedly had a similar experience. It's a fine poem, but I don't see how it clarifies anything. I'd be very interested in other interpretations by other readers.
I think that's a good point that the phrase "meet me in the middle" can mean reconciling a split between two opposing positions. I enjoyed listening to the podcast of this which had the author herself reading the story.
Did you come up with a better interpretation for what it means?
Not really. I agree that it could be a compromise between the sister who is too idealistic and the sister who is too much of a realist. The sisters meeting in the middle perhaps representing a healing of the two sides of their enslaved ancestor: the part who joined those who jumped overboard (seen in the mirror) and the part who survived to have them as a descendants. Like you, I feel a bit on shaky ground trying to interpret it.
There are some funny bits though -- like the black Brit complaining of ghosting from black Americans. Then we learn that it was actually because the Brit had wall to wall mirrors!

Live Your Brilliance
You are the Universe: Let your Heart be your Guide
New Year Blessings for Brilliance and Joy
Stepping out to make "Dreams Come True"
Transformations:Scars graced with Art
A letter to Leonord Nimoy via his art gallery manager….
I am a single mother,therapist,writer,actress…but I write to you in celebration, as a woman, whose 52 year journey of being an orthopedic patient has come to a close.
I was born with congenital hip deformities. At the age of 5, I had my first operation. Severe osteo-arthritis at the age of 14 then its affects were accelerated after the birth of my one and only child Alycia. I was cripple within 2 years, using 2 canes to get me down the block.
The upswing to this story is that I found a brilliant compassionate orthopedic surgeon who gifted me with 2 new hips in the year 1996 at the age of 36, three years after Aly was born. I rejoiced in the celebration of movement and the freedom of discovering what it felt like to walk effortlessly.
Since then I have had another 6 operations that revised the old hardware after mishaps of falling and breaking bones.
At the age of 52, I am 1 year out of my last operation and feel like a new woman. I know now that the journey of 52 years as an orthopedic patient has come to an end and I celebrate every day.
As a therapist/artist I put together with Don Petersen, owner of One World Samurai Tattoo, a presentation in artsPeak 2011, "Transformations:Scars graced with Art", with the intention of holding a light for others in the journey of adversity. It includes photos of breakage in a light box of X-rays, the scars, and then the beauty of artwork, tattoos, gracing the physical site. After interviewing each person in the exhibit, I shared their insights into life in a short poem format. Our models were a 24 year old man who had open heart surgery, hip replacements, extreme mountain biker/artist who severed his creative arm and a cutter. We created a 20 page I Mac Booklet as well.
This project, I truly feel is moving and joyful. It has the potential to reach out globally. In sharing my idea, Leonard Nimoy's name came up a few times. I finally went onto his website and all that rang true in my heart was "Yes"we have a synergy and similar purpose.
I want to co create this piece, "Transformations, Scars graced with Art" with Leonard. I feel bold in saying this, but it would be a dream come true for me.
In Reflection: This letter was written in a inspired moment. It is about worthiness. Embrace your guidance with trust and know that we are all human beings who suffer and that our compassionate true nature drives us to make our dreams come true. I hope that my stepping forward allows you to do so in your life.

Sri Lanka court stops impeachment of top judge
[AFP, Monday, 7 January 2013 17:03 No Comment]
Sri Lanka's Court of Appeal Monday ordered parliament to drop its impeachment of the country's top judge, amid international concern for judicial independence on the island.
The court issued an order quashing a report by ruling party lawmakers who found Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake guilty of financial and professional misconduct over a month ago.
"The court granted the writ sought by the chief justice (against parliament)," a court official told reporters outside a packed courthouse. "This means parliament cannot legally proceed with the impeachment."
He said the court declared that the Parliamentary Select Committee that probed the chief justice was illegal and that the legislature could not take any action against Bandaranayake on the basis of its flawed findings.
The ruling was widely expected after the Supreme Court four days ago ruled that the committee had no powers to find a judge guilty.
Bandaranayake, 54, had angered the ruling party after recent constitutional decisions that went against the government. She has also resisted pressure to step down. Unless removed legally she could remain in office for 11 more years.
The United Nations as well as international rights groups have raised concern over moves by President Mahinda Rajapakse's government to remove the chief justice. The impeachment is seen as politically motivated.

Lunch with Anti-bullying Advocate Ross Ellis
by Diane Clehane
Talk about timely. Today I was joined by Ross Ellis, CEO and founder of Stomp Out Bullying, the leading national nonprofit "dedicated to changing the culture for all students by raising awareness around the need to develop a society focused on kindness and inclusivity." Quite the tall order these days, don't you think?
October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month and also marks Stomp Out Bullying's 13th year as a national organization. What started out as a passion project for Ross has become an amazing force for open dialogue and positive change among students and adults nationwide committed to fostering civility and kindness in schools and online. With a small staff in New York City and personnel in Arizona, Brooklyn and Long Island, Stomp Out Bullying's programs have positively affected the lives of thousands of children – as well as parents and educators looking for a way to reach them.
The proof is in the numbers. One out of four children has experienced bullying. Nine out of ten LGBT students experience some form of harassment. Ross told me Stomp Out Bullying has had over 10 million visitors to their website. The organization has helped 100,000 students and saved 2,000 lives through their HelpChat Line. According to their website Stomp Out Bullying, through their various support networks has helped save a total of 6,000 lives. "We have gotten 32,000 emails from kids and parents on a whole host of issues looking for solutions and strategies," she told me.
Ross has always swung for the fences in her efforts to raise awareness and has had many home runs in the process. On Tuesday night, the Empire State Building was awash in blue (the color of the anti-bullying national initiative) in support of Stomp Out Bullying's work that began as "Blue Shirt Day" but has been since renamed World Day of Bullying Prevention. Other buildings around the country that "went blue" included Houston City Hall, the Wrigley Building in Chicago as well as the Santa Monica Pier in California. On the first Monday in October, students, organizations, communities, and individuals "go blue" together as a worldwide statement against bullying with millions of people participating across the globe. To kick off this year's program, Ross was a guest on WPIX interviewed by Tamsen Fadal on Monday to talk about Stomp Out Bullying's initiatives (which also ran on Facebook Live) and has also been featured on AOL Build.
With all the negativity and astonishingly bad behavior we have seen permeate the culture in recent times (much more on that later), Stomp Out Bullying has ramped up their efforts to become more vocal and visible in reversing this deeply upsetting development. "This year, we were driven more than ever to help communities, youth, students and society realize that what we really need is to change the culture from one of cruelty to one of civility," said Ross between bites of her chicken paillard kale salad. "I never want to see another child in pain," added Ms. Ellis.
By creating partnerships with celebrities and organizations that recognize the importance of Stomp Out Bullying's mission, Ross has made amazing inroads in gaining national visibility at a time when companies are overwhelmed with solicitations to support charitable causes. A Wrinkle in Time star Storm Reid did a PSA for the organization as did US Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez (who is also a global ambassador) and writer-producer and LGBT rights activist Dustin Lance Black.
The New York Jets have been "amazing partners," said Ross. In August, the team hosted the third annual Jets Tackle Bullying Educators Symposium at MetLife Stadium co-sponsored Municipal Credit Union which featured a panel of experts (including Ross) Dr. Jeff Gardere, Board Certified Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor at Touro College; Ira Levy, attorney and Board member, STOMP Out Bullying whose son had been bullied in school, Anthony Harmon, Assistant to the President of the United Federation of Teachers and football legend Tony Richardson. Educators who attend are invited to stay afterwards to see a game. "We have a waiting list of people for this event," Ross told me.
Several of the team's players have also worked closely with her to help raise awareness including Jonotthan Harrison ("He's adorable.") The Jets are also willing to lend all-important financial support to the cause. There will be a check presentation ceremony on the field from the Jets' organization to Stomp Out Bullying at the October 21rst game. Ross knows how valuable the organization's support has been. "I'm very blessed they came to us."
Ross has also created the "Upstander Project" which has been implemented at tristate area schools where principals select a middle or high school student to recognize as an "upstander" who is a force for kindness in their respective schools for several weeks each spring and fall. "Kids and teens want to see kindness [in their surroundings] and they're just not seeing it," said Ross.
One of the steps towards changing that, she explained, is fostering understanding and acceptance of different cultures. To that end, Ross created National Cultural Week last year which took place in second week of April. Nick Cannon hosted a panel live-streamed to 110 schools which included Josie Jay Totah, formerly known as J. J. Totah, the 17-year-old transgender actress who appeared on the Disney Channel series Jessie. The event was so successful, Stomp Out Bullying is currently planning to repeat the event in 2019. "When you have a kid who is Muslim, you don't want other kids calling him a terrorist. By teaching kids about other cultures, you begin to foster an understanding that can prevent that type of hurtful thing from happening."
While it's heartening to hear that children are receptive to messages of inclusivity and kindness, what to do about the shockingly bad behavior of some very high profile adults? Especially one in particular. When I asked Ross how Trump's actions have affected the conversations she has had with kids and adults, she told me she can't comment directly on anything he's done explaining, "We're a children's charity and we have to remain non-partisan." But, she allowed, adults behaving badly does have an effect on the children who witness it. "It does matter. It's very bad to have kids see adults says and post negative things. This has to stop." No argument here.
When we were talking (off the record) about the Senate confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, Ross commented that she implored her friends on Facebook to stop and think before putting anything out there for the world to read. Regarding all the mean-spirited comments on both sides she said, "It doesn't matter who you like or don't like, don't post it."
So what's next? Ross is currently working on a book with Dr. Gardere "about empathy" and is currently fielding inquiries from companies looking to serve as national sponsors for Stomp Out Bullying. "We need a media partner," she said. If you're interested, we're happy to pass on the message.
Next month will mark the second annual Block It Out Day, an initiative that takes place on the second Wednesday in November. The idea which came to Ross while she was being interviewed by Vice magazine. "They were asking me about cyberbullying and I made it up on the spot." And the idea stuck. "It's a day where kids block out all negativity – deleting and blocking out negative posts and ask friends and family to do the same," she said. According to Ross, 2.5 million people "blocked it out" last year and she's hoping that number increases this year.
As we finished up our lunch, I told Ross that it was encouraging to hear about good news for a change at such a dark time. "I'm trying," she said. "People need to understand bullying is not a rite of passage."
Seen & Heard Around the Room
Ed McDonald and pals on Table One … Mickey Ateyeh and two lovely ladies enjoying Michael's cauliflower with capers and pine nuts and black truffle pizza on Table Two … Jim Abernathy on Three … Herb Allen and Steve Rubenstein in the corner on Table Four … Dr. Gerald Imber, Andy Bergman, Jerry Della Femina, and Jeff Greenfield at the usual perch for their weekly boys' lunch on Table Six … Master showman Henry Schleiff, who is, in case you didn't know, Group President of the Travel Channel, Investigation Discovery (ID), American Heroes Channel and Destination America. I've known Henry since he turned Court TV into a pop cultural phenomenon and made stars out of Nancy Grace, Dan Abrams and many others. Trust me, there is no harder working man in cable television.
Marshall Cohen on Table 15 … United Station Radio's Nick Verbitsky raising a glass with some suits on Table 16 …LAK PR CEO Lisa Linden (Long time no see!) with Julie Tighe, the newly minted president of the NY League of Conservation Voters. Busy Lisa is also the vice-chair of the organization … Producer Joan Gelman on Table 20 … The fabulous Alexandra Lebenthal passing the time on her iPad while waiting for her lunch date to arrive on Table 21 … PR maestro Tom Goodman at his favorite spot in the dining room, Table 25 …. Kliger Enterprise's Janice Orefice Dehn and Mark Cooper talking business in the Garden Room.
A Special Goodbye
Last week, one of my favorite Michael's regulars, Liz Wood had a farewell lunch at Michael's before she decamped from the east coast to her new home in Alabama. She was feted by 'The Bar-ettes' Kira Semler and Vi Huse at my usual spot, Table 27. We all met many years ago sitting at the bar at Michael's (one of the best people watching spots during lunch) and while we didn't see each other often, forged a friendship that has come to mean a great deal to all of us. I was sorry to have missed this very special lunch due to circumstances beyond my control, but I did want to take this opportunity to say that I will miss seeing Liz's bright smile at 55th and Fifth and truly appreciate the kindness and generosity of spirit she has shown me throughout the years. Good luck Liz!
I'll be on assignment for the next few weeks so I will be back at Michael's next month. See you then!

Vintage Cafe: Ray LaMontagne Gets Happy With The Pariah Dogs Live In 2010
September 23, 2013 - Our Vintage Cafe is with Ray LaMontagne playing live with his band The Pariah Dogs.
the pariah dogs
Ray Lamontagne - God Willin' and The Creek Don't Rise - RCA
It's a bit hard to believe that God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise is the fourth album from the soulful singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne. It doesn't seem so far off from when many of us first stopped us in our tracks upon hearing the song "Trouble" from his debut album. But over the course of his career, Ray has captivated audiences with an emotionally driven songbook, a voice that summons goose bumps and a fascinating aversion to the spotlight he so requires.
God Willin' and The Creek Don't Rise
Ray LaMontagne - Till The Sun Turns Black - RCA
Whether or not Ray LaMontagne will become this generation's Van Morrison is something that's yet to be determined, but you'll be hard-pressed to find another singer who combines light and dark, power and subtlety as well as this New Hampshire native. His second album - Till The Sun Turns Black - is another well thought-out, well delivered set of music.
Till The Sun Turns Black
Ray Lamontagne - Trouble - RCA
One of XPN's Artists To Watch for 2004, singer-songwriter, Ray Lamontagne explains how Stephen Stills saved his life. One of six children raised by a single mom who worked hard to make ends meet, Lamontagne – who barely made it out of high school left his family for Lewiston, Maine. Bored, going nowhere in his life and doing some serious soul searching Ray was in Lewiston working long hard hours in a shoe factory when he experienced a musical epiphany.
Ray LaMontagne - Gossip in the Grain - RCA Records
On his third album, Gossip in the Grain, Ray LaMontagne breaks out of his own mold a bit, relying less on lamenting love loss and seemingly is more centered on expanding into more hopeful musical territories . The album's opening track is evidence. "You Are the Best Thing" is perhaps, up to this point, the most optimistic we've ever heard Ray.

The fourth incarnation of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV) is the EU's implementation of Basel III, the international regulatory capital framework. It is one of the key responses to the financial crisis.
Client assets held in the course of regulated activities exceed £7.8 billion.
An important reaction to the financial crisis of 2007/08 was a realisation that remuneration policies that encourage excessive risk-taking can affect the financial judgment and risk management of investment firms. European financial regulatory bodies recognised this and have focused their rule-making on aligning effective risk management with remuneration.
Under the previous directive, CRD III, firms were required to set the appropriate ratios between the fixed and the variable component of the total remuneration that staff could be awarded. However, CRD III did not specify what this ratio should be. CRD IV has developed this and introduced a ceiling for bonuses at 100% of base salary. The variable element of a salary can therefore not exceed the fixed element. However, with shareholder approval this ratio can be increased to a maximum 2:1 (variable:fixed).
Remuneration is only one strand of CRD IV. As with any new regulation more transparent and detailed reporting is required. Firms caught by this directive have more stringent capital requirements, liquidity and financial reports to complete and return. Every significant firm has to carry out more detailed, independent and intrusive risk assessments and stress-tests and corporate governance needs to be strengthened, including an independent risk committee and the appointment of non-executive directors.
After a narrow vote in the EU parliament in 2013 fund managers running 'mainstream' UCITs funds avoided the same restrictions on remuneration. Also Alternate Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) are now subject to AIFMD and the remuneration policies therein. So it appears that the remuneration rules within CRD IV will put managers at bank-owned asset management groups at a "significant disadvantage" to AIFMs, independent and insurance-owned fund houses.
Further, the European Banking Authority wants to widen the scope to include anyone earning above €500,000, inclusive of bonuses and apply the cap to bank staff earning a bonus of more than €75,000 when that represents more than 75 per cent of fixed pay.
If the playing field is not considered level, then high performing, well rewarded managers at bank-owned asset managers may seek a move. Investor outflows may result as some investors follow these high-performing managers.
The initial impacts of CRD IV have been seen recently in two contrasting cases. Royal Bank of Scotland has scrapped plans to increase its bonus pool after the government said it would block the move. RBS, which is 80% owned by the government, was to seek shareholder approval for bonus payouts of up to 200% of basic salaries, but the government as majority shareholder has pushed for up to 100%. The government has however adopted a softer stance on Lloyds. It is majority private-sector owned and the government's shareholding in the bank is now down to less than 25%. The government in this instance seems to be supporting a bonus cap up to at the maximum allowable ratio of 2:1.

Be A Voice
Michael J. Readinger
With each new class of the Nollau Leadership Institute, we focus on empowering members of the class to "Be A Voice" — for their vocation and call, for their ministry setting, for their family, for their friends, and for those they serve. They gain the skills and confidence necessary to do this by writing and practicing "elevator speeches," by exploring the mission, vision and core values of their organizations, and by creating their own set of values as it relates to their passion for ministry. Whether you are a current, past, future leadership institute participant or not, you have the right and the gift to be a voice for yourself and for others.
That right and that gift are at the core of what advocacy is all about. The purpose of advocacy is to use your voice to promote or reinforce a change in policy, program or legislation. Rather than providing support directly to clients or users of services, advocacy aims at winning support from others by creating a supportive environment.
The roots for the word come from late Middle English by way of the medieval Latin word advocatia (from advocare), meaning to summon or call to one's aid. Not surprisingly, these roots are also found in the words voice, vocalize and vocation.
As you can see in Dave Waltemeyer's column next to mine, the CHHSM Board of Directors challenged themselves and our task force volunteers to be "doers." In the area of advocacy, the Board decided it was time for us to "Be A Voice" on a wide range of issues that affect all our member agencies in one way or another. In some cases, our member agencies are affected by all the issues at the same time.
The Program Planning and Evaluation Committee held a generative session during their committee meeting that resulted in four broad categories for our advocacy focus:
Social determinants of health.
Behavioral health.
Access to care.
Self-determination.
They also decided to address 10 core issues moving forward:
Healthcare access.
Senior services.
Children, youth and family services.
Developmental disabilities.
Addiction.
Homelessness.
Food insecurity.
Reproductive justice.
While these lists may not be exhaustive, working on all these issues can be exhausting! Why are we even doing this? We are going to do this because it is really important work that will impact the lives of the many voiceless individuals whom we serve in our ministry settings. We are going to do this because we need to join the chorus of all the other organizations who are out there speaking to legislators and administrators on all levels of government. We are going to do this because this is why CHHSM exists. This is what makes an association like ours relevant today and sustainable in the future.
How can this small group of volunteers and staff manage the complexities of addressing all these issues? Where do we begin and what plan should we execute to make our voices heard? The fact is, we cannot do it alone. We must remember the old adage, "many hands make light work," and we need to come together and take one step at a time.
In the weeks ahead, CHHSM leadership will begin to mobilize the volunteers who signed up for the task force groups. We will create a plan of action and we will make our voices heard. We will ask for your support and we will ask you to join the movement to Be A Voice.

Hanovia assists in treating kidney disease
Purified water plays a fundamental role in the provision of renal dialysis for patients with chronic kidney disease. Ultraviolet (UV) dechlorination technology from Hanovia is assisting in the ongoing treatment of patients with kidney disease at the Hospital of St Cross in Rugby, Warwickshire, UK.
Hanovia's PharmaLine DC UV system helps to purify the water used in dialysate fluid for renal dialysis, by lowering the amount of chlorine present.
Purified water plays a fundamental role in the provision of renal dialysis for patients with chronic kidney disease. More than 99% of the dialysate fluid used in the procedure is composed of purified water, and the key purification process in this application is reverse osmosis (RO).
Treatment barrier
The renal water treatment system at the hospital was previously using activated carbon filtration (ACF) for chlorine removal prior to the RO process. However, the water's high total organic carbon (TOC) concentration challenged the capacity of the ACF to remove chlorine.
However, Hanovia's s PharmaLine DC UV system not only helps control the level of chlorine, but also provides a treatment barrier for any microbial contamination. The UV dechlorinated the renal dialysis water and delivered the desired < 0.1 ppm of total chlorine in the feed water to the ACF and RO units.

Q: How do I place blocks out of blockspaces? I saw this cool elevator the other day and wondered: how do you place the blocks out of blockspaces, such as for the elevator floor and roof?

A: The video you have linked does not use actual blocks, but invisible ArmorStands wearing blocks on their head:

You can summon one of these as such:
summon ArmorStand ~ ~1 ~ {Invisible:1,Invulnerable:1,NoGravity:1,ArmorItems:[{},{},{},{id:stone_slab,Damage:7,Count:1}]}

Entities, unlike blocks, can be moved freely, rather than only placed on a grid.

The community of Mount Shasta is blessed with incredible views of its namesake mountain from nearly every part of town. It is commonplace to see people stopped along roads and highways taking pictures, visitors to the downtown area gazing up at the towering heights and folks sitting and relaxing while enjoying the incredible views. There are many great hikes and short in and around town that can be quickly accessed from anywhere in town. One of the great pleasures of being in the Mount Shasta area is enjoying the incredible sight of the setting sun casting alpenglow on the magnificent mountain. Teddy Roosevelt once remarked "I consider the evening twilight on Mt. Shasta one of the grandest sights I have ever witnessed." It certainly is an incredible spectacle. One of the most pleasant places to enjoy a relaxing stroll and watch the sun set on the mountain is from Sisson Meadow. Just east of downtown, it is a beautiful meadow watered by spring-fed streams. A boardwalk winds its way through the meadow. The path is punctuated by occasional benches that are strategically located so the great views of the mountain can be enjoyed at leisure. You can read a bit more about the path here.
This afternoon I took my kids out for a walk in the meadow. They love running on the boardwalk, exploring the creeks and watching the ducks in the small pond. While we don't always go at sunset, this seemed like a good day to watch the sun set and let the kids enjoy the crisp, cold air. As always, they had a great time. For those with little kids, the path through Sisson Meadow is a great place to get outside and enjoy some great views.
I have enjoyed that walk very much myself – thank you for the beautiful reminder.


Ever thought of building your own energy efficient cabin ... for $11,000? Prior to moving to Colorado this past summer to work at RMI, one staffer did just that and shares his thoughts on passive solar design, thermally massive materials, solar panels and wood cook stoves.
Did you know? Solar-plus-storage has actually been around for decades. In fact, it was what kickstarted the solar industry in the early 1980s. A bunch of marijuana "farmers" in northern California who weren't connected to the grid needed a way to get electric lights for their grow operations. A young hippie stumbled upon an ARCO solar panel at a consumer electronics show, and soon after founded AEE Solar and started powering off-grid homes with solar panels and car batteries, and his customers always paid in cash.

I think note at the beginning of the article that says, "This is a guest post by Justin Levitt, a professor at the Loyola Law School, Los Angeles and an expert in constitutional law and the law of democracy, with a particular focus on election administration and redistricting" is important information to have. It seems like a much more credible source because it is written by someone who knows the laws around voting very well.
I think it's sketchy that the admin name is "admin" and an actual person isn't actually listed, the email also has no name of an admin. Also it would appear there was no about page which also feels odd. The nameless admin would make sense if it was a larger organization in which case the admin would change, however if it's that big then there should be a functional about page so that feels off.

Q: Can I suspend jquery ready event until my script execution is finished? I have some problem, I have to do some regex replacement to document.innerHTML on page load. but all jquery plugins and jquery method cannot detect body's child elements, I want to rescan document.body object after my regex replace operation. though Not a resonable solution, I did this with jquery as
$("body").html($("body").html());

after body.innerHTML replacement,
It works, jquery method can detect newly changed elements, but it also effect scripts within body tag causing double triggering plugins and requesting script file to server again. I want jquery to detect modified body's element. To do so, can I suspend $(document).ready() event till body's content is updated or is there other technique to reload document.body object. Please don't refer to delegate() on() and live() methods. I know usage of these methods, I don't want to use this approache, I just want jquery to detect modified elements in body, Please help me, thanks alot.

To sustain and continuously grow our organisation, Suiderland Plase invests in training and developing our workers on several levels. Through education and training, awareness programmes, good working conditions, equal employment opportunities and fare wages, we assist our employees to reach their full potential, as they are the heart and soul of our company.
We also offer socio-economic development and mentorship programmes, such as running internship programmes for emerging farmers and providing bursaries to students. Suiderland Plase believes in enabling and training people with new and additional skills, whilst we fully support recognition of prior learning (RPL).
Suiderland Plase places high emphasis on communication and believes it is important to keep all channels of communication with all our employees open. We have worker committees and employment equity commitees on all our farms and pack houses. The group Employment Equity committees meet annually to consolidate all employment equity activities.
Our company would not have been able to create a successful business without our employees, either permanent or seasonal and that is why our corporate social responsibility towards our workforce, and the communities in which we operate, will always be a top priority.
A progressive approach is applied where we put workers through a plant production learnership course, look for leadership potential during the programme and identify workers who can be used in a supervisory role. We then assess all these workers whom we have identified during the learnership course to make sure the person is fit for a leadership position.
Leaders in current positions, as well as leaders of the future, are put through a leadership course where they also enter a year-long mentoring programme to convert theoretical skills into practical skills.
General employees are trained annually in basic computer skills. We teach them the basics, from switching on to using it and sending emails, etc. Suiderland Plase also helps our workers to buy computers for private use.
We offer isiXhosa language courses for supervisors, management and general workers to promote communication in the workplace and between workers.
