What If the Minimum Wage Were $15 an Hour?
Cities Rising

Inside the movement that's pushing to make a living wage a reality in Seattle.

As the gears of federal government have ground to a halt, a new energy has been rocking the foundations of our urban centers. From Atlanta to Seattle and points in between, cities have begun seizing the initiative, transforming themselves into laboratories for progressive innovation. Cities Rising is The Nation's chronicle of those urban experiments.
It's the afternoon of February 18, a typically rainy, windy day in Seattle. The glass facade at City Hall offers a spectacular view of downtown, the wet streets descending to the Puget Sound waterfront. Inside, a waterfall cascades down a terrace near the main staircase. The City Council chambers are crowded to overflowing, and television camera crews are standing off to the side in anticipation of newly elected Democratic Mayor Ed Murray's first State of the City address.
Wearing a gray pin-striped suit and a lilac-patterned tie, his face slightly florid, Murray strides up to the podium and leans into the microphone. He opens with a call to confront the city's challenges with renewed enthusiasm, then zeroes in on his top issue. "We face the largest income disparity in our history," he says, "and this disparity strikes at the very cause and core of what it means to be a democratic society." Honoring a "moral obligation" to disrupt the cycle that has created massive wealth as well as income and employment gaps between the city's whites and minorities, the mayor announces: "I have committed to a process to raise the minimum wage in this city and have set a goal of $15 per hour." America, he adds, is watching: "We have an opportunity to create a model that can be replicated across the country."
To Murray's left—as far to the left as she can go without falling off the platform—is newly elected Councilwoman Kshama Sawant. An avowed socialist who wooed the electorate by pushing her own $15 minimum wage proposal, she sits stone-faced at a computer console alongside her City Council colleagues as the mayor outlines his plans for economic reform.
In the weeks since the election, the two have been working together, sometimes uneasily, to focus attention on wage inequities in their city. Murray is hoping to build on the energy that Sawant's campaign has generated, while playing on the fears of political and business leaders that, if they don't accept a wage hike through legislation, voters will embrace a more radical measure through a referendum. Sawant is hoping to use the mayor's effort as a slingshot to catapult her broader arguments about inequality and economic injustice into the mainstream.
Murray may not be thrilled that Sawant is on the City Council, and Sawant may not be particularly enamored of Murray's brand of liberalism. But as they dance their pas de deux around the minimum wage, the two politicians are creating the sort of momentum that could soon make Seattle's wage floor the highest in any major American city.
Washington State has the nation's highest minimum wage, inflation-indexed and currently standing at $9.32 per hour. (Some cities have higher local wage ordinances, and Connecticut lawmakers passed a bill on March 26 that will increase the state's minimum wage to $10.10 by 2017, matching congressional Democrats' proposed federal wage hike.) But despite the state's progressive stance on wages, the myriad problems related to economic inequality persist in Seattle—and they're getting worse.
"I grew up in West Seattle—at the time, a very working-class area," Murray tells me a week after his State of the City speech. "My father worked in a steel mill. Catholic family, seven kids. They owned a house. Today, that would not be a reality in Seattle. When we talk about diversity, we also need to talk about economic diversity. We have this huge issue of wage disparity—it's only one of the issues to do with the decay of the working class."
To address the problem, Murray has put together a twenty-five-person committee co-chaired by David Rolf, president of SEIU Healthcare 775NW, and Howard Wright, CEO of the Seattle Hospitality Group, an event management company. The committee has been tasked with recommending a strategy to get toward the $15-an-hour goal in a way that all sides can buy into. Members will be debating whether to include health insurance and other benefits in their calculations; whether to create tax subsidies for small businesses; whether to include tipped workers; and whether to introduce the wage increase immediately or in stages over several years.
On February 27, the committee held the first of six public meetings to discuss labor conditions, as well as access to benefits, housing and transportation, and, more generally, the cost of living in Seattle.
"It is an eye-opener," Wright admits. "Something I sort of knew, but it's confirmed: there are some people in their 30s and 40s who still have minimum-wage jobs after ten years being employed."
Rolf extends the analysis further. "We've seen a forty-year erosion of earning power in this country," he says. "After two generations in which all boats rose together, we saw the great separation between the 1 percent and everyone else. For 80 percent, the recession that ended in '09 is still a daily reality. There've been no net jobs created in twenty-first-century America."
It is a measure of how far and how quickly the economic debate has shifted that Murray's proposal, in Seattle at any rate, is seen as centrist—as is Murray. A longtime gay marriage advocate and one of the country's first openly gay big-city mayors, he talks freely about his husband in his speeches. He supports light rail, bike-sharing initiatives and increased access to pre-K. In almost every other city in the nation, his agenda would be considered solidly progressive, and for good reason.
But Seattle isn't every other city, as Sawant's election on the Socialist Alternative Party ticket shows. No other major US city has elected a councilor from a socialist party in decades. During her campaign, Sawant argued not that capitalism needs to be regulated, but that the basic capitalist economic model is broken. When she won, she didn't simply become a celebrity; she became a powerful magnet pulling Murray even further left.
Sawant was born in India but grew up in the United States. A community college economics lecturer and a onetime software engineer, she stunned Seattle's political elites when she emerged into the spotlight. Although the Socialist Alternative Party is relatively young and obscure, it is active in several US cities and has ties to larger, more established socialist and labor groups in the United States and abroad. Seattle members participated in the anti-globalization protests of the late '90s and the more recent Occupy actions, which Sawant helped organize.
Sawant's rise has coincided with the growing national spotlight on low wages. When she ran an unsuccessful campaign against the speaker of the Statehouse in 2012, she pushed for a $15 minimum wage. It was, her team concluded after her defeat, an idea before its time. A year later, however, the landscape had changed. Unions in SeaTac, the town just south of Seattle that surrounds the region's main airport, had led a grassroots initiative that culminated in a vote for a $15 minimum wage, and a national wave of fast-food workers' strikes had garnered significant media attention. When Sawant began hammering on the issue in the summer of 2013, the public responded favorably. On Election Day, Sawant—running against sixteen-year incumbent Richard Conlin in a citywide election—got 93,682 votes, just shy of 51 percent.
"My brothers and sisters," the new councilor began her inauguration speech on January 6, "we need organized mass movements of workers and young people, relying on their own independent strength…. Working people need a new political party, a mass organization of the working class, run by—and accountable to—themselves. A party that will struggle and campaign in their interest, and that will boldly advocate for alternatives to this crisis-ridden system."
Local media outlets lapped it up. Within days of her inauguration, they were turning to Sawant for quotes in response to whatever ideas Murray came up with, including his plan for a committee to ponder a minimum-wage increase. She supported the committee but argued it had to report back sooner than the mayor intended.
Sawant had a trump card: she had begun pushing for a signature-gathering campaign to qualify a $15 minimum wage initiative for the ballot this fall. The signatures have to be submitted by early summer, which means the effort to gather them had to begin early in 2014. When the mayor initially proposed that his committee return with recommendations later in the year, Sawant's team announced that the pace was too slow; they would have no choice but to put the measure on the ballot. In response, the mayor, keen to keep control of the process and to pass the increase legislatively, invited Sawant to join his committee and moved the deadline up by several months.
Since her election, Sawant's prestige and visibility have grown quickly. When she recorded an impassioned response to President Obama's 2014 State of the Union address, eviscerating his administration for a belated and hollow commitment to an anti-poverty effort, the YouTube footage went viral. Further cementing her bona fides with the local left, the new councilor promised to take home only what an average-earning Seattle resident makes, and to donate the rest of her six-figure salary to "building social justice movements."
"Fifteen dollars an hour will be a massive step forward in improving people's standard of living," Sawant avers between forkfuls of the rice and spinach dish she has brought from home and is eating for lunch after the mayor's State of the City speech. "We want to build the leadership, build the confidence of the working class in Seattle, to take further steps to reverse the race to the bottom."
Sawant and the Socialist Alternative Party have wasted no time in building a movement to reach this goal. Soon after her election, they set up the 15 Now coalition to drum up citywide support for an increased baseline wage that would be implemented with no exceptions or delays. Despite the SAP's explicitly socialist leanings—its office shelves are filled with revolutionary tomes, and its banners feature fiery slogans and clenched fists against red backdrops—15 Now has built a broad base of support. The coalition has secured endorsements from many of the biggest locals in town, including the Teamsters, as well as from the NAACP, Latino activist groups, organizations working on affordable housing and the Green Party of Seattle. The movement to raise the minimum wage has received broader support from SEIU 775 (which also has a seat at the committee's table), Unite Here and the UFCW.
By early 2014, with eleven "action groups" working to educate voters on the issue, polls were showing results: nearly 70 percent supported increasing the minimum wage to $15. When 15 Now and other groups organized a Martin Luther King Day rally, roughly 5,000 people showed up. When they ran a day of workshops on February 15 to train people for neighborhood-based campaigns, they say about 400 people attended.
There's a sort of revivalist, old-school fervor to the 15 Now meetings, a sense of solidarity that has been sorely lacking from the political landscape in recent years. The coalition has generated standing-room-only crowds, widely covered by local news, for events it has held at the AFL-CIO's historic Seattle Labor Temple. It has set up chapters around the country, twenty-one of which participated in a Day of Action in mid-March, and arranged for a national conference to be held in Seattle on April 26. The group is also planning a series of May Day events to highlight the campaign.
"We do have this really vibrant grassroots movement developing, educating and alerting workers," notes Philip Locker, Sawant's campaign director and a 15 Now organizer. "It's a question of how strong a political awareness is there? If we are passive, the establishment and business will be able to carve out all the special favors they want."
As Seattle moves closer to adopting America's highest minimum wage, it is likely to unleash a fierce opposition campaign. That's what happened in SeaTac last year, though the campaign proved unsuccessful. It also happened in Chicago a few years ago, when the City Council attempted to pass an ordinance that would have required big-box retail stores to pay significantly higher hourly wages than the statewide minimum. And it's happening at the federal level as Democratic senators push for raising the minimum wage to $10.10, an effort President Obama has pledged to support.
Although a growing body of research suggests that the benefits of a living wage outweigh the costs, that hasn't stopped libertarian groups from cranking out doom-and-gloom scenarios in response to Murray's proposal. "Somebody's going to have to pay for this," says James Dorn, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. "If consumers have to pay higher prices, they'll spend less elsewhere. Or employers' profitability will be lower." Some workers will lose their jobs, he argues, and the ones who are retained will be higher-skilled. The large franchises will be able to weather the blow, in his view, but the move could crush the service industry and small businesses.
Nobody knows exactly how much money will be thrown into this new battle for Seattle as both sides attempt to frame the terms of the debate. Locker says he wouldn't be surprised if the figure is in the tens of millions of dollars. After all, this issue has the potential to be a Rubicon of sorts: if Seattle crosses it and survives, it will demonstrate to the nation that the labor market won't implode and that prices don't soar through the roof when a living wage is enacted. Suddenly, the national conversation surrounding this issue would take a huge turn.
The House of Representatives is unlikely to pass a minimum wage increase anytime soon, of course. But a growing number of conservatives are reluctant to make this issue their Alamo. Gallup reported in November that 76 percent of Americans favor an immediate increase in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9, and 69 percent support linking the $9 minimum wage to inflation, thus setting automatic cost-of-living increases in place.
As public support for a national wage hike grows, the idea is becoming increasingly palatable even among some business leaders and conservative strategists. Gap, the clothing retailer, has pledged to raise its minimum hourly wage in June, and conservative Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ron Unz spent the early part of the year pushing Californians to approve a statewide increase in the minimum wage to $12 by 2016. His campaign to put such a measure on the November ballot failed—more likely because of poor political strategy than lack of support—but Unz did get a number of conservatives to endorse his arguments.
Murray and Sawant are aware that they have a chance to remake their city's social compact—and set a new national standard—if they can overcome their mistrust and work together. "It's always good to have people out there pushing the envelope," the mayor says, diplomatically, about Sawant and the 15 Now campaign.
Both of them believe that Seattle is on the cusp of something extraordinary. Murray says that several big-city mayors and even White House officials have asked to be kept in the loop as the initiative moves forward. "Local government has always been the laboratory of democracy in America," he explains. "I think we have an opportunity here to really be a catalyst for change on the issue of wage disparity in the United States."

Q: for loop repeating in for each loop I am having for loop in foreach loop
static $count=0;
for($i=$count;$i<$semesters_count;$i++)
{
    echo $array_wam[$i];
    $count++;
}

here $array_wam is array of some marks.  I am printing multiple student marks
 I getting first student marks
first student
  50.6

second student
 50.6  60.9

I want to show output like
  first student
  50.6

second student
 60.9

Here loop again starts with 0 but I want loop starts with where it ends.

A: I dont know if i am understanding right what you are asking for but have you tried like this?
for($i=0;$i<$semesters_count;$i++){
    echo $array_wam[$i];
}

A: For that you have to put static $count=0; before the foreach starts.
See an example below:
static $count=0;

foreach ($item)
{
    for($i=$count;$i<$semesters_count;$i++)
    {
        echo $array_wam[$i];
        $count++;
    }
}

A: Try this:
  for($i = 0; $i < $count_semester; $i++){
    echo $array_wam[$i];
  }

Why do you want static $count if it can loop trough for loop? And it still counters your $i variable is equal to the length of your $count_semester.

A: The problem is that you're not incrementing $count when you reach the end of the for loop.
Instead of incrementing $count inside the loop, set it to $i at the end of the loop:
static $count = 0;
for ($i = $count; $i < $semesters_count; $i++) {
    echo $array_wam[$i];
}
$count = $i;

A: Try this :-
static $count = 0;

foreach ($item)
{
    $semester_count_total = $semesters_count + $count;

    for ($i = $count; $i < $semester_count_total; $i++) {
       echo $array_wam[$i];
    }

    $count = $semester_count_total;
}

Gut instinct is a thing apparently. New research shows that our guts are our second brain with over 100 million more neurones than what you think of as your main brain..
So the old wives tale of trusting your gut instinct in other words, your intuition, may just have a grain of truth in it.
Some things are intuitive, others are counter intuitive. This much we know. The challenge is in knowing which is which BEFORE taking action.
– just before face planting….
Bitcoin & blockchains are counter intuitive. Let us explain.
Running is intuitive. It's literally child's play. You just don't need a running instructor.
Lots of other things are so well designed they are almost intuitive; opening a jam jar, texting, sending an email, watching TV (not using the remote though), using a blender and more.
These are all pretty basic and simple tasks that (if well designed – unlike the remote) are intuitive to use.
The classic case of intuitive design is iPhone scrolling. You don't need a lesson on scrolling.
Skiing on the other hand is counter intuitive. It looks easy, sliding and turning down a steep hill in powder snow in glorious sunshine; what could possibly go wrong? Well it turns out, quite a lot.
The natural instinct with skiing is to lean back. Error 101. An instructor will help you to lean forwards, get more grip, gain control, snow plough and eventually parallel turn. And that's the point. You need an instructor.
Actually – you don't need an instructor but if you go solo, trust us there will be pain. So why not take a short cut, save yourself from self inflicted injury (the worst kind) and enjoy the ride instead?
Here at BlockMark we offer corporate training & executive education on blockchains – precisely because blockchains are counter intuitive.
Pseudonymous accounts? What are those? Private keys for public ledgers? Mining for nonces? Nobody and everyone in charge at the same time?
Confused? Will it disrupt my business? My career? Probably. Did railways disrupt canals? Did desk-top-publishing disrupt typewriters?
Take a look at our Corporate Training & Executive Education Programmes which will help you master blockchains in the blink of an eye.

Thursday 7th April sees Ronnie Scotts artistic director and internationally acclaimed pianist, James Pearson return to St Martin in the Fields for a unique concert. Following the Mozart Requiem James will perform by candlelight drawing inspiration from the many Brandenburg Spring Choral Festival concerts.
As a jazz artist, James will improvise the concert entirely drawing themes and highlights from such master works as the Brahms, Mozart and Fauré Requiems, Spem in Alium and Allegri's Miserere. If one were to take the word of the Observer (Outstanding – Dave Gelly) and The Sunday Times (a multi faceted player in shattering form – Clive Davis) this really is a concert not to be missed.

Extracellular matrix signatures of human primary metastatic colon cancers and their metastases to liver.
Naba A., Clauser K.R., Whittaker C.A., Carr S.A., Tanabe K.K., Hynes R.O.
Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and the third cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Despite the fact that tumor cell-intrinsic mechanisms controlling colorectal carcinogenesis have been identified, novel prognostic and diagnostic tools as well as novel therapeutic strategies are still needed to monitor and target colon cancer progression. We and others have previously shown, using mouse models, that the extracellular matrix (ECM), a major component of the tumor microenvironment, is an important contributor to tumor progression. In order to identify candidate biomarkers, we sought to define ECM signatures of metastatic colorectal cancers and their metastases to the liver.We have used enrichment of extracellular matrix (ECM) from human patient samples and proteomics to define the ECM composition of primary colon carcinomas and their metastases to liver in comparison with normal colon and liver samples.We show that robust signatures of ECM proteins characteristic of each tissue, normal and malignant, can be defined using relatively small samples from small numbers of patients. Comparisons with gene expression data from larger cohorts of patients confirm the association of subsets of the proteins identified by proteomic analysis with tumor progression and metastasis.The ECM protein signatures of metastatic primary colon carcinomas and metastases to liver defined in this study, offer promise for development of diagnostic and prognostic signatures of metastatic potential of colon tumors. The ECM proteins defined here represent candidate serological or tissue biomarkers and potential targets for imaging of occult metastases and residual or recurrent tumors and conceivably for therapies. Furthermore, the methods described here can be applied to other tumor types and can be used to investigate other questions such as the role of ECM in resistance to therapy.


Vietnam wants better fruit processing technologies to increase export | HANG XANH INTERNATIONAL Co., Ltd.
Though Vietnam's fruit and vegetable industry is growing, its exports still account for less than 1 per cent of the global market, indicating the need for the processing industry to upgrade its facilities and practices, experts said at a seminar on Tuesday in Hà Nội.
The Vietnam Vegetable and Fruit Association, Rieckermann Vietnam and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) co-organised the event to discuss the industry's challenges and opportunities. The sector is growing quickly, seeing increases in cultivation area, output and export value in recent years, said Nguyễn Như Cương, Deputy General Director of the Plant Cultivation Department under the MARD.
In the first 10 months of 2017, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable export value reached US$2.48 billion, an increase of 47.3 per cent over the same period last year, Cường said.
Apart from China, the largest importer of Vietnamese vegetables and fruits, other high-demand markets include the US, South Korea, Netherlands, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and Australia. The global export value of vegetables and fruits has exceeded US$200 billion annually since 2011. Cường argued that Vietnam has not yet met its potential.
"Vietnam is mainly exporting fresh fruits with a short storage time due to lack of advanced preservation technology, so the value added is low. Not to mention that the country's fruit and vegetable exports are also affected by many technical barriers, such as sanitary conditions," he added.
According to Cường, though Vietnam has identified fruits and vegetables as a potentially strong industry, there were many shortcomings to fully exploit. The whole sector needs to continue to focus on promoting the application of science and technology for frozen fruits, canned fruits, dried fruits and fruit juices to increase the value of production, expand the market and increase export turnover, he said.


Nail art is currently one of the trendiest art forms in the beauty world—and with good reason! It requires a great deal of talent, precision and creativity. Plus, it is mesmerizing to look at.
As a big fan of all things nailicious (and also of making up new words), I can only aspire to be as gifted as the nail artists I'm about to introduce.
Whether you want to follow their steps and see some tutorials or you just want to admire their skills from afar (trust me, just seeing the end results is extremely satisfying), I encourage you to hop on the nail art bandwagon and give these guys a follow.
See? There's just something about the word "nail" that lends itself to the creation of new words. Anyway, Simply Nailogical (a.k.a Cristine) wins the title of my all-time favorite nail artist. While it's easy to tell she is incredibly talented by just looking at her feed, her uniqueness is what I love the most.
Her tutorials and reviews are filled with comedy, courtesy of her hilarious comments and sarcasm. She even has parodies and story time videos all centered on the topic of nails.
She also coined the term 'holosexual' so if you want to find out what that means, you know what to do.
If you really want to get into nail art but it all seems too complicated and you just don't know where to start, fear not—HannahRoxNails (of Hannah Rox It) is here to show you how everything is done.
This talented artist has tutorials that are geared for beginners. They are super easy to follow and the end results will have you looking like a total pro.
Just take a look at this LUSH Bath Bomb Inspired Nails video she did.
And this Walking Dead one. And this Frozen one. And so many more. Seriously, go check ALL of her stuff out.
Queen of Nail Stamps. This mom and nail art super-fan showcases all of the designs that she has done with different stamps and stencils on Instagram. She also has a YouTube channel, though it is worth noting that she seems to have pressed pause on posting new videos for the time being.
Her attention to detail is unparalleled; I'm content with just staring at her work. And while she may not do full-on tutorials these days, she does always list the products and stamps/stencils she uses in her IG posts, so you can go and check them out if you feel like recreating her art. Stamp away!
Now go on and be dazzled by these nail artists' creations by following them all. And tell me who YOU are following for your nail art inspiration by chiming in via Twitter.

Q: Two-column blogspot layout from scratch: how? I'm trying to make my first HTML/CSS blogspot (new format) layout from scratch, and it's proving to be hard. I'm used to making 2-column layouts be it using float, flex or what have you, but even with display:inline-block, divs set to border box 30% and 70%, the sidebar with the widgets just doesn't stay, well, on the side. I looked around for other solutions but nothing solved my problem, and I wanted to keep relative positioning because of the footer and because the height of the content in the page will always vary. Sorry if this is a noobish question but this is my first time dealing with xml and this layout is more than delayed because I can't get around it. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Found out... the problem is that I messed up copying and pasting xml I didn't understand, I ended up misplacing  and ruining everything. :P So yes, actually every usual method mentioned below probably works. It's now working on flexbox: http://kawaiisugoibakanekos.blogspot.com.br/
Thanks all who tried to help!

Q: Query using Oracle substitution variables I have a example SQL code like below
select *
  from Engg_Studens
 where Student_Name = '&Student_Name'
   And Department = 'computer science & Engineering' ;

My question here is: while running the SQL, it is asking for the substitution variable for '& engineering'  which is in department name.
I should only be asked for '&student_name'.

A: You can not write a statement which includes the "&"  character.
Try like below:
select * from Engg_Studens where Student_Name = '&Student_Name'
and Department = 'computer science '|| chr(38) ||' Engineering' ;

A: You can escape the second ampersand (&) but honestly I never remember how to do that off the top of my head. I usually do something like this:
SELECT *
  FROM engg_studens
 WHERE student_Name = '&Student_Name'
   AND department = 'Computer Science &' || ' Engineering';

Using the concatenation (||) operator here avoids the replacement variable.

A: Another approach is to change the substitution character to something you are sure will not be used elsewhere:
SQL> set define ^

SQ> select *
  from Engg_Studens
 where Student_Name = '^Student_Name'
   And Department = 'computer science & Engineering'

Enter value for student_name: Arif
old   3:  where Student_Name = '^Student_Name'
new   3:  where Student_Name = 'Arif'

Only the ^Student_Name is now treated as a substitution variable so you only get a prompt for that.
You could also potentially separate the prompt from the query and switch to using an actual bind variable, but that seems like overkill here.

'A more accurate understanding of drug use': a critical analysis of wastewater analysis technology for drug policy
Thursday, 24 October, 2019 - 13:30 to 13:45
Background: The idea of identifying and monitoring urinary excretion of illicit drugs and their metabolites in wastewater has been seen by governments and international organisations as 'promising'. It is claimed that such approaches will enable governments to effectively direct resources to priority areas, monitor the progress of demand and supply reduction strategies, as well as identify emerging trends.
Methods: Drawing on poststructural approaches to policy analysis and insights from science and technology studies, we consider how the technology of wastewater analysis may be seen as a kind of proposal with productive capacity and constitutive effects. Through this analysis, we seek to raise ontopolitical questions about the production of data by interrogating the claims to 'accuracy' promoted in wastewater analysis, and illuminating the assumptions underpinning such pursuits.
Results: By taking an approach which sees method as performative rather than as descriptive of a pre-existing reality, we consider how wastewater analysis enacts realities into being in the drugs field. We argue that wastewater analysis constitutes drug use as measurable, countable and comparable and, in doing so, enacts a homogenous drug using population in a bounded geographical space, with implications for drug policy. Furthermore, the claim to 'accuracy' constitutes people who use drugs as lacking in knowledge and unaware, and relates to a range of practices which work to continually re-produce people who use drugs as criminal, untrustworthy and in need of surveillance.
Conclusions: Through this analysis, we seek to generate critical discussion about practices of 'evidence-making', the privileging of 'scientific data' in drug policy processes (especially as it relates to population prevalence of drug use), and the hitherto unexamined effects of wastewater analysis for drug policy.

Q: How do you reuse code in Angular? I have controller which fetches some data and adds some extra items based on the information. The information should be searchable. I have working code for that now, but was wondering what is the best way to reuse the code? Is it directives? factory? Here is the code :
app.controller('searchProducts', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.search = function(val) {
    $scope.val = val;
    //from here
    let query;
    if(!$scope.val) {
        query = BASE_URL+"Products";
    }
    if($scope.val) {
        query = encodeURI("Products?$filter=contains(ProductName,\'"+val+"\')");
        query = BASE_URL+query;
    }
    $http.get(query)
        .then(function(response) {
            $scope.rawData = response.data;
            angular.forEach($scope.rawData.value, function(value) {
                //looping the data, replacing the IDs with actual data from the source
                //Getting actual Supplier using SupplierID
                $http.get("http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Suppliers("+value.SupplierID+")/CompanyName/$value")
                    .then(function(response) {
                        value.Supplier = response.data;
               })
                //Getting actual Category using CategoryID
                $http.get("http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Categories("+value.CategoryID+")/CategoryName/$value")
                    .then(function(response) {
                        value.Category = response.data;
               })
            });
        })
    //to here
}
    //is repeated here
});

A: You would use a factory and bundle that behavior in one or more methods, i.e.
app.factory('myFactory', function($http, $q) {
    return {
        myRequest: function(query) {
            return $http.get(query).then(this.myHandler);
        },
        myHandler: function(response) {
            var categoryPromises = [];
            var supplierPromises = [];
            angular.forEach(response.data, function(value) {
                supplierPromises.push($http.get("http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Suppliers("+value.SupplierID+")/CompanyName/$value"));
                categoryPromises.push($http.get("http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Categories("+value.CategoryID+")/CategoryName/$value"));
            });
            return $q.all([$q.all(supplierPromises), $q.all(valuePromises)]);
        }
    };
});
// and to invoke the factory
app.controller('myController', function(myFactory) {
    myFactory.myRequest('/path/to/resource')
        .then(function(results) {
            //... handle your results
        })
        .catch(function(e) {
            throw e;
        });
});


Here's another account of social media gone wrong.
Liway actress Glaiza de Castro announced to her fans yesterday that her verified Facebook account had been hacked, and to ignore any messages coming from that account.
In a post that appeared on her Instagram account, De Castro wrote that phone numbers had been publicized on the now compromised account, and warned her fans not to reach out to them, since the numbers belong to individuals who are not authorized to communicate on her behalf.
de Castro's Facebook account still exists and is still online, although the most recent post was dated March 3. The unauthorized contact numbers that she listed in her Instagram post, however, are the same ones that currently show up on the Facebook page's "About" section.
Her Facebook page currently has almost 770,000 followers.
Another fan told her not to worry, and that her problem will be solved soon.
Another netizen advised the actress to contact Facebook directly. She also said that it's important for de Castro to change her password every three months because hackers will consider her a prominent target because she's a celebrity.
De Castro made a splash last year when her film Liway became a favorite of both critics and audiences alike when it debuted at the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival. De Castro played the role of Cecilia Flores-Oebanda, a real-life activist who was imprisoned during the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.
She currently stars in the GMA television show Sahaya.

The Phase Swap options allow you to determine how the phase swap area is identified during the Phase Swap trace. The Locate Tap Point option allows you to select how the tap point is identified. The Tracing Options section allows you to determine where the trace stops. Phase swap tracing has some special cases depending on the option selected. See the Interpret Trace Results page for explanations.
These options allow you to determine how the tap point is identified. The tap point is the feature or default junction most upstream in the phase swap area and the point at which the swap is initiated. Note that your map may not include default junctions.
Automatic: When this option is selected, the Phase Swap tool identifies the tap point using two possible criteria. The tool places the tap point at the first upstream location that fits one of these criteria.
The point at which the phase count increases. In the example below, the tap point is placed where the A phase line connects with the ABC phase line.
The point at which the phase count is two or more AND the junction has more than two connected edges with the same phase designation as the conductor the user clicked. In the example below, the AB phase line highlighted in red is to be swapped. Phase Swapping identifies the tap point as the junction at which the three AB lines converge with an A phase line. The phase count is two or greater and there are more than two edges with the same phase (AB) at the junction.
Manual: This option is used generally to clean up data. It is not recommended for general use as it may create inconsistent data if not used properly.
When this option is selected, Phase Swap locates the nearest upstream junction from the feature on which the flag was placed (it may locate a generic junction in the middle of the edge feature the user selected). If you place the phase swap flag on a section of primary with an A phase and the next upstream primary is also A phase, there will be no other options besides A from which to select in the phase mapping window.
With the "Manually locate tap" option selected, Phase Swap relies on the user to begin the phase swap at a location that is connected to a junction where the phase changes.
The "Disregard conductor/device phase designation" option allows you to determine how the phase swap trace identifies the end of the tracing operation.
Enabled: When the "Disregard conductor/device phase designation" checkbox is selected (enabled), the phase swap trace will continue until it encounters a device that is open on all three phases. Phase Swap updates the phases of all traced features to match the phase map selected by the user. If the phase of a feature already matches the phase selected by the user, it will not be swapped. In the example below, if the user elects to change the phase to B, all A and C phases will be swapped. The B phase line will not be modified.
Disabled: When the "Disregard conductor/device phase designation" checkbox is not selected (disabled), the phase swap trace stops when it encounters an inconsistent phase designation. In the example below, the A phase line was traced until the trace encountered the C phase line.


Have you been sports betting on football games for a while, but feel like you are not doing as well as you should?
Have you tried a few different approaches, but nothing seems to be working too well?
If so, here are a few tips on how to do better at sports betting on the football games you like. Follow these, and you could suddenly find yourself winning quite big.
Have a budget and stick to it — While this may seem the most obvious thing, you may be surprised at just how many people do not have or stick to a budget when betting on sports.
Before you ever bet on even one football game, decide how much you can afford to spend this week and vow not to spend more than that.
A weekly budget is better than a monthly one as, with a monthly one, if you spend too much at the beginning of the month that can mean no more betting until next month. With a weekly one, however, you only have to wait a few days until your next budget can be used.
Decide on your unit — Now you have a budget you are going to spend every week, decide upon your unit bet.
That means how much are you going to spend every bet, and how much will you not go over?
A good example of a budget and a unit would be a budget of $100 a week, and a unit of $10. That means you would be able to place 10 bets over the week of $10 each, with the understanding that once the money runs out you have to stop betting.
Research your teams — Learn everything you can about any team you plan on betting on.
That includes knowing the history of the team, all about the coach and the players, what their strengths and weaknesses are and how well they have been doing this year. Also find out as much as you can about the opposing team so, when you sit down to decide how much you are going to bet on the game, you will make a smarter, more informed choice.
Keep your winnings separate — At some point during your betting on football games, you will have a few wins.
When you do, it is important to keep your winnings separate from your betting money.
If you do, you will never bet everything you have and, at some point, you will win enough that you will end up ahead of where you started.
Create a system and stick to it — People betting on football games tend to start losing when they establish a system, then move away from it.
Instead, if you decide how you are going to play and then stick with that system, your chances of winning increase rapidly.
That means, become a 'long gambler'. Gamble for the long haul instead of the short haul and, if you start losing, do not veer away from your system in order to chase your losses. You can start now betting on your favorite teams on Judi Bola.

title: "Embedded Sass is Live"
author: Natalie Weizenbaum
date: 2022-02-01 2:00 PST
---

After several years of planning and development, I'm excited to finally announce
the stable release of Embedded Dart Sass along with its first official wrapper,
the [`sass-embedded`] package available now on npm!

[`sass-embedded`]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass-embedded

Embedded Sass is an ongoing effort to make a highly-performant Sass library
available to as many different languages as possible, starting with Node.js.
Although Node.js already has access to the pure-JS `sass` package, the nature of
JavaScript inherently limits how quickly this package can process large Sass
files especially in asynchronous mode. We expect `sass-embedded` to be a major
boon to developers for whom compilation speed is a concern, particularly the
remaining users of `node-sass` for whom performance has been a major reason to
avoid Dart Sass.

The `sass-embedded` package fully supports the [new JS API] as well as the
[legacy API] other than a few cosmetic options. You can use it as a drop-in
replacement for the `sass` package, and it should work with all the same build
plugins and libraries. Note that `sass-embedded` is a bit faster in
*asynchronous* mode than it is in synchronous mode (whereas the `sass` package
was faster in synchronous mode). For substantial Sass files, running
`sass-embedded` in either mode will generally be much faster than `sass`.

[new JS API]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/js-api#usage
[legacy API]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/js-api#legacy-api

In order to limit the confusion about which version of which package supports
which feature, the `sass-embedded` package will always have the same version as
the `sass` package. When new features are added to the JS API, they'll be
supported at the same time in both packages, and when new language features are
added to Sass they'll always be included in a new `sass-embedded` release
straight away.

## How it Works

Embedded Sass is composed of three parts:

1. [The compiler], a Dart executable that wraps Dart Sass and does the actual
   heavy lifting of parsing and compiling the files. Dart native executables are
   generally much faster than JavaScript, so using them for the
   computationally-intensive work of stylesheet evaluation is where Embedded
   Sass gets its speed.

2. [The host], a library in any language (in this case JavaScript) that provides a
   usable end-user API for invoking the compiler. The host provides callers with
   configuration options, including the ability to define custom importers and
   Sass functions that are used by the compilation.

3. [The protocol], a [protocol-buffer]-based specification of how the host and
   the compiler communicate with one another. This communication happens over
   the standard input and output streams of the compiler executable, which is
   invoked by the host to perform each compilation.

[The compiler]: https://github.com/sass/dart-sass-embedded
[The host]: https://github.com/sass/embedded-host-node
[The protocol]: https://github.com/sass/embedded-protocol
[protocol-buffer]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers

## Other Languages

Embedded Sass was designed in part as a way for languages other than JavaScript
to have access to the full power of Sass compilation with custom importers and
functions, similarly to how C++ wrappers for [LibSass] worked in the past. We
hope that community members will use this protocol to implement embedded hosts
for many other popular frontend languages. If you end up doing so, message us
[on Twitter] or [Gitter] and we'll link it on this site!

[LibSass]: https://sass-lang.com/libsass

Q: Sitemap and url parameters for google webmaster I am looking for some info about setting URL Parameters according to how my Codeigniter app works, and also creating a sitemap for it.
http://www.test.com/en -> Home page
http://www.test.com/result?query=mountain -> Result being a function inside a controller to where query input data is sent. I think query is a Specifies parameter type to set as a URL Parameter
http://www.test.com/result?query=mountain&filter=spain -> I think filter should be a Narrow parameter type because without, it shows all the mountain results from all the countries. This parameter will show only from spain
http://www.test.com/result?query=mountain&filter=spain&page=2 -> page should be a Paginates parameter type that paginates the results.
http://www.test.com/result?query=mountain&filter=spain&sort=viewed -> viewed should be a Sorts parameter type
http://www.test.com/image/123asd -> Image is a function inside the same controller as result. It loads details/tags/comments about the image clicked.
I've read the documentation on Google's URL Parameters, but what I don't know is: do I have to set the controller also to the parameter that to be added?. I mean, do I have to set it like so:

query     -   6:12 PM (0 minutes ago)     Specifies Every URL
filter    -   6:12 PM (0 minutes ago)     Narrows Every URL

or like this

result?query  -   6:12 PM (0 minutes ago)     Specifies Every
  URL
result?filter     -   6:12 PM (0 minutes ago)     Narrows Every
  URL

and so on...
What about the sitemap, should I generate it? How if I don't control the query input and the results page?

A: The real answer here is simple: you typically don't need to or want to tell Google to index search or browse pages or their variants of sort/pagination or otherwise.  Google used to recommend that you exclude these pages from their index because they start looking like duplicate content (typically all the content present is also present elsewhere on the site).  Google has gotten a lot smarter recently.  There is an exception, however.
I used to work for a company that had a site that sold consumer electronics.  By far the most popular queries were  , like "canon cameras".  We implemented this as a browse page with a twist -- the page contained title, meta-description,  tag, and some hand-crafted content that was specific to the results page.  The URL would be something like http://example.com/digital-cameras/?brand=canon and these are pages we most definitely wanted Google to know about and index (and for a while, we did quite well on searches for those terms).  So there's nothing wrong with adding them.
Otherwise, you can use Google webmaster tools to exclude parameters Google should ignore, such as sort and pagination parameters.  You may also be able to do this in robots.txt.

A: Appreciate the topic... We were discussing this one yesterday...  we sell items by the gallons..
page 1 10 - 200  product.aspx?id=123
page 2 200 - 500  product.aspx?id=123&page=2
page 3 500 - 1000  product.aspx?id=123&page=3
and so on...
do we want to add these multi number pages to the site map (page 2, 3 , ...) ...  each page has a different gallon range on it?   with the most expensive 10000 gallons being on page 10...
when i search the url in quotes with this at the end product.aspx?id=123&page= it returns page ten top in the results..with 2 and 4 following when i do show omitted results...
I didn't really have answer... after typing this out i'm leaning towards yes...  you want google to know about them..  it should be considered duplicate content...?
in my mind if someone searches say 500 gallon item..   google would return a product page result at the top of the listings and not a page3 category page with 10 items only one of them 500 gallons...  that's my thoughts...  i'm curious as to yours..  i find it to be an interesting question  ...
also they show up as webpage microdata in webmaster tools...
any thoughts are appreciated..

Telematics Report Finds Transportation's Digital Transformation Still a Distant Reality
Fleet/Geotab
Geotab recently announced the availability of the Geotab Integrated Solution for Ford Vehicles.
Integrating Ford vehicle data into the MyGeotab platform, fleet managers gain access to one dedicated portal with powerful tools that can process data from vehicles with an embedded modem as well as those that require a third-party device, according to the company.
Through this integration, Ford Data Services will securely transfer data from Ford vehicles with a factory-installed modem (or Ford Plug-In Modem, where required) to Geotab's cloud environment, eliminating the need for third-party hardware in Ford vehicles.
Simplifying the task of mixed-fleet management, the latest solution from Ford and Geotab provides fleet managers with the ability to oversee their entire fleet in one portal while also presenting the added benefit of access to the Geotab Marketplace, a portfolio of mobile apps, hardware Add-Ons and software Add-Ins that enable Geotab customers to further customize their fleet management solution.
"Ford Data Services provides the 'Power of Choice' so that businesses can get manufacturer-grade vehicle information from the telematics provider of their choice, such as Geotab," said Michelle Moody, director at Ford Commercial Solutions. "With the launch of Geotab Integrated Solution for Ford Vehicles, fleets are able to access vehicle information such as fuel usage, vehicle health and driver behavior, through the Geotab platform for vehicles with a Ford modem."
With this solution, fleet managers will be able to access rich, proprietary, Ford-specific data available for all Ford 2020 or newer models in the United States.
"The Geotab Integrated Solution for Ford Vehicles will allow fleet managers to benefit from the combination of Geotab's actionable data insights and powerful rules engine with the rich diagnostic data from Ford's factory-fitted modem," said Geotab's Sherry Calkins, vice president, strategic partners. "This means that regardless of whether they are utilizing an embedded or externally installed telematics solution, the entire fleet can be managed from one platform."

Watchung enjoys a diversely delicious dining scene. Here are some recommended restaurants along with feedback from the locals!
Featuring lakeside dining in a beautiful setting along with an exquisite menu and wine selection, Water and Wine is a popular destination for special occasions.
"The restaurant has a nice view of the lake and is great for an romantic dinner. The food and service were excellent. This restaurant never disappoints. Full bar is available and the wine list is among the best in the area. Highly recommend!"
Best known for their delicious chicken wings, Buffalo Wild Wings is also a great place to take the kids to with their family-friendly, casual atmosphere.
"Dining with 5 kids is never a pleasure but our server and Captain gave us 5 tablets on a Thursday night and figured out that the .69 wing special was the most cost effective for us. The food came out quickly and the kids ate everything. I couldn't ask for a nicer staff and good food. They told us to come back on Wednesdays since kids eat free. Thumbs up from the kids."
While Stone House is technically in Warren, it's tucked in the Watchung Mountains on the border of Watchung. This gorgeous setting offers a summer patio, private dining, event spaces, and more.
Located at the Blue Star Shopping Center, experience amazing food at an affordable price.
"I have been to this Watchdung buffet several times this fall. Why? It is easy to find and to park. It is right on route 22, and in a big mall. Food is good in terms of variety and quality. What attracts me more is its reasonable price. The service is good also. I have not tasted their sushi, but like the grill."
Authentic Mexican cuisine with big, bold flavors and fresh, handmade dishes made daily make this restaurant a go-to spot for excellent eats.
Not only does this Watchung staple have a huge menu, they also do online ordering, pickup, and delivery.

What time is the Queen's speech this Christmas?
The monarch will address the nation on December 25
Aaliyah Miller
Join the Secret Elves to get first access to our exclusive reviews of the must-have products this year.
There are many traditions many families enjoy on Christmas day, from turkey and sprouts to mulled wine and mince pies.
And of course listening the Queen's speech is an important part of the day for many. The tradition that dates back the furthest - beginning in 1932 with a radio broadcast by King George V.
And, since 1952, the message has been read by Elizabeth II and is shared on multiple platforms including tv, radio and online.
Her Majesty, The Queen faced illness this year, with a Buckingham Palace spokesman previously saying that: "Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations" however - the monarch appears to have made a full recovery and should take her usual place on the nation's screens.

This year, Queen Elizabeth II will address the nation at the usual time of 3pm on December 25, a perfect follow up to Christmas lunch.
The speech will be available to watch on BBC One, ITV, Sky One, Sky News and to listen to on BBC Radio 4; alternatively, it can be watched online through the Royal Family YouTube Channel or on their Facebook page.

In last year's speech, the Queen praised the "quiet, indomitable" spirit of those who have "risen magnificently" to the challenges of 2020 - referring to the Coronavirus pandemic; and, it is likely this year's speech may touch on similar themes. Particularly as she has recently cancelled her traditional pre-Christmas family party next week, due to the COVID spike related to the Omicron variant.
As well as this, the monarch is likely to touch on the loss of the former Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, who died on 9th April 2021; as this will be the first Christmas she will spend without him after 73 years of marriage.

The mortal remains of Matua matriarch Binapani Devi, popular as 'Boroma', reached her hometown here in North 24 Parganas district…reports Asian Lite News
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visits SSKM hospital to inspect the health of Matua community matriarch Binapani Devi popularly known as "Boroma" in Kolkata
The mortal remains of the Dalit community leader, who passed away late on Tuesday following multi-organ failure at the state-run SSKM Hospital in Kolkata, will be consigned to the flames at the Matua Mahasangha headquarters known as 'Thakurbari' here.
"We started with her body at around 8 a.m. and reached Thakurnagar at 11 a.m. Lakhs of followers have gathered here to see their beloved Boroma for the last time," a family member
The centurian breathed her last at 8.52 p.m. She is survived by her younger son Manjul Krishna
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condoled the death and said she will be given a gun salute and state
Admitted to JNM Hospital in Nadia district on February 28 following shortness of breath and fever, Boroma was shifted to the SSKM on Sunday after her condition deteriorated.

I luckily had the opportunity to interview the very talented Digital Designer, Illustrator, Photographer and even Production Designer – Joelle Peters. She is also the principal designer for Wikifashion! With a multitude of skills and very pretty & natural aesthetic style, We Heart Collective member (along with Katelyn & Dominique) Joelle shared detail on her work, her inspirations and her life!
I've been based in Brisbane for almost two years, but grew up in a small town outside Byron Bay.
My day job is in Web Design, but I work for a few regular freelance clients in illustration and design on a weekly basis also.
Where can we see your work on the internets?
Film (production design, set design and dress etc) is actually my main love, but if I wasn't involved in creative arts I might like to be a teacher or do something that combined international relations and social work.
I get inspired by photography a lot for illustrations. I actually rarely look at other illustrations for inspiration, which is a bit odd, I think. I love drawing people and faces, so I like to be inspired from the original source, if you know what I mean.
I get inspired by music a lot too; the moods created by music. I love folk, classic rock and blues – mostly from the 1960s, which is a decade I adore. My favourite musicians are Dylan, Donovan, the Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, Miles Davis, Otis Redding, Hendrix etc.
Do you have a particular fancy for a-symmetry?
Not really, but I do love things that are a little whimsical or off-center in that respect.
Do you have a typical process for your creations?
My process isn't very analytical, but I always start with the face and go from there.
Favourite website of the moment (doesn't have to be art related)?
I love tumblr and dribbble for inspiration.
I'm a bit of a workaholic and nerd, to be honest, so I'll often prefer to stay at home and work on personal projects than go out. I like Archive in West End for casual drinks. I recently checked out Harajuku Gyoza, which just opened in the Valley – it's adorable. You'll usually find me drinking coffee at Brown Dog cafe in Woolloongabba during the week.
How would you describe the Brisbane art scene?
I like the Brisbane art scene. It's not as well-known as Melbourne or Sydney, but I love the sense of community. I also think Brisbane artists don't take themselves too seriously, which is nice.
What exciting new things do you have coming up?
A have a few projects abroad lined up for 2012, which are quite exciting, but there's not much I can say about that at this stage. Other than that, I'm looking forward to future We Heart Paper exhibitions and getting into more traditional mediums [this] year, as I usually work digitally.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend Certain Generic Listing Standards for Managed Fund Shares Applicable to Holdings of Fixed Income Securities
A Notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission on 06/07/2019
Agency/Docket Numbers:
Release No. 34-86017
File No. SR-NYSEArca-2019-06
II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1 7
III. Discussion and Commission Findings
IV. Conclusion
Start Preamble June 3, 2019.
On February 14, 2019, NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca" or "Exchange") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") [1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] a proposed rule change to amend certain generic listing standards for Managed Fund Shares applicable to holdings of fixed income securities. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on March 6, 2019.[3] On April 18, 2019, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[4] the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.[5] On May 15, 2019, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which amended and superseded the original filing in its entirety.[6] The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change. This order approves the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.
II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1 [7]
Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E sets forth the generic listing standards for Managed Fund Shares.[8] Commentary .01(b) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E sets forth the generic listing standards applicable to fixed income securities [9] in the portfolio of a series of Managed Fund Shares. Commentary .01(b)(5) currently provides that non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities components of a portfolio shall not account, in the aggregate, for more than 20% of the weight of the fixed income portion of the portfolio. The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .01(b)(5) by deleting the reference to the "fixed income portion of the" portfolio, such that non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities components of a portfolio may not account, in the aggregate, for more than 20% of the weight of the whole portfolio.
After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.[10] In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[11] which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
The Commission believes that the generic listing standards for Managed Fund Shares, as proposed to be amended, would continue to be designed to prevent manipulation. As noted above, the Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .01(b)(5) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E to allow non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed Start Printed Page 26712securities to account for no more than 20% of the weight of the whole portfolio (rather than the fixed income portion of the portfolio). Therefore, the proposed rule change would allow the Exchange to generically list and trade series of Managed Fund Shares that hold more non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities than is currently allowed under the generic listing standards (if assets other than fixed income securities are in the portfolio).[12] According to the Exchange, the proposal would allow increased portfolio diversification.[13] The Exchange also states that it has in place surveillance procedures that are adequate to properly monitor trading in series of Managed Fund Shares in all trading sessions and to deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable federal securities laws.[14] The Commission notes that, as proposed, non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities must meet all the generic listing standards in Commentary .01(b) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.[15] In addition, the Commission notes that it has previously approved the listing and trading of Managed Fund Shares that could hold up to 20% of their total assets in non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.[16]
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[17] that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2019-06), as modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.[18]

Deputy Secretary.

The Commission designated June 4, 2019 as the date by which the Commission shall approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.
6. In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange: (1) Clarified that non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities in the portfolio of a series of generically-listed Managed Fund Shares would satisfy all of the generic listing standards of Commentary .01(b) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, as amended; (2) modified its argument supporting its proposed change; and (3) made other technical changes.

7. For a more detailed description of the proposal, see Amendment No. 1, supra note 6.
8. The term "Managed Fund Share" means a security that (a) represents an interest in a registered investment company ("Investment Company") organized as an open-end management investment company or similar entity, that invests in a portfolio of securities selected by the Investment Company's investment adviser consistent with the Investment Company's investment objectives and policies; (b) is issued in a specified aggregate minimum number in return for a deposit of a specified portfolio of securities and/or a cash amount with a value equal to the next determined net asset value; and (c) when aggregated in the same specified minimum number, may be redeemed at a holder's request, which holder will be paid a specified portfolio of securities and/or cash with a value equal to the next determined net asset value. See NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(1).
9. Commentary .01(b) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E provides that fixed income securities are debt securities that are notes, bonds, debentures or evidence of indebtedness that include, but are not limited to, U.S. Department of Treasury securities, government-sponsored entity ("GSE") securities, municipal securities, trust preferred securities, supranational debt and debt of a foreign country or a subdivision thereof, investment grade and high yield corporate debt, bank loans, mortgage and asset backed securities, and commercial paper.
10. In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
11. 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
12. As the Exchange notes, currently, a fund holding 100% of its assets in fixed income securities could hold 20% of its entire portfolio's weight in non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. See Amendment No. 1, supra note 6, at 5. In contrast, a fund holding 25% of its assets in fixed income securities, 25% in U.S. component stocks, and 50% in cash and cash equivalents could only hold 5% its entire portfolio's weight in non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. See id. Under the proposal, each of these funds could hold 20% of its entire portfolio's weight in non-agency, non-GSE, and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities.
13. See id., at 4-5.
14. See id., at 6. The Exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), on behalf of the Exchange, or both, would communicate as needed regarding trading in Managed Fund Shares with other markets and other entities that are members of the Intermarket Surveillance Group ("ISG"), and the Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or both, could obtain trading information regarding trading in Managed Fund Shares from such markets and other entities. See id. In addition, the Exchange could obtain information regarding trading in Managed Fund Shares from markets and other entities that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.

Enjoying PortHow to store Port?
These days few of us have proper cellars so storing Port wine at home can be a problem. Don't despair. All you need is a cool, dark, vibration free cupboard and a constant temperature, ideally no more than 15ºC (60ºF). Anything outside these parameters will see the wine age quickly and flatly. It basically becomes cooked and without life.
A Vintage Port bottle should rest on its side, with any visible splash of white paint uppermost. This keeps the cork moist at all times.
The ideal would be to have your Port stored professionally. Good wine merchants will undertake this and arrange for your wine to be insured for its steadily growing replacement value.
Using the right style of Port glass can help you get the most out your Taylor's Port.
Taylor's Vintage Port is one of the world's great iconic wines.


The best way to learn about a different culture is to be completely immersed in it. Living in a new country will change the way you think about the world and yourself. Since 1980, the program has provided the opportunity to live and study in the United States to more than 45,000 high school students from around the world.
Exceptional students between the ages 15 and 18 spend a semester or a full academic year living and studying in the USA. Supported by local staff, students learn about American culture by living with a volunteer host family, making life-long friends, joining a new community and studying at a local high school.
A low student-to-staff ratio is allowing you to have personalized support throughout your stay in the USA. Local staff in the US live in or near community where you will live. They interviewed your host family, have a relationship with your school and can assist you whenever needed. You will be ensured a smooth arrival into the USA, an arrival orientation, group activities with other exchange students during the year, and also, your success in your host family, school and community will be monitored through the entire program.
American high schools provide some of the best education opportunities in the world. You will experience a broad range of academic courses, an interactive approach to teaching and a wide choice of extracurricular activities. As an exchange student you will enjoy a full-time schedule designed to support your future goals and make the most of your year in the USA.
Beyond the required English literature and U.S. history courses, you will have many choices for study. Art history, music, computer science, physics, modern languages, biology, creative writing and world history are among the many subjects offered at American high schools. Your local staff and school advisor are available to help you create a schedule that is right for you.
Participating in extracurricular activities will help you build friendships, contribute your talents and develop practical skills. After classes have ended for the day, join a club and meet people with similar interests in theater, art, journalism or computers. If you enjoy music, join the choir, orchestra or marching band. Like sports? Athletic programs such as soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball and swimming are available.
Social activities are an important part of American high school life. Students get together to watch school sports teams or attend theater performances and concerts. From school dances to car wash fundraisers, you will have the chance to experience all your American high school has to offer.
When you come to the U.S. you will have the rare and wonderful opportunity to became part of an American family. You will share a home, meals and everyday life with your new family who will become your strongest bond to American culture. Whether your family is large or small, lives in a small town or suburban area, they have volunteered to open their home because they share a passion for cultural exchange and desire to make your experience enjoyable.
Whether you live with a host family on the rural plains of the Midwest or suburb at the base of the Rocky Mountains, you will be able to get involved in your community. This may include joining a club or organization, or volunteering your time. Many Americans enjoy helping others through volunteerism, and this has become a unique and reward way our students give back to their host communities. Students on the program have given their energy to support local schools, churches, hospitals, animal shelters and other charitable organizations. Through community service you will gain valuable insight into American society, make new friends and show your appreciation to your community!
As student in the US you will also have the opportunity to develop leadership skills. You may practice leadership as an "ambassador" in your American high school and community by sharing your culture and traditions. Being open to the ideas, values and experiences of others helps to broaden your perspective of the world.
To insure that you don't miss out on this opportunity, all applications for the academic year 2019/2020 must be turned in by April 2019.

Q: Metric in $\mathbb{S}^1$ Let $\mathbb{S}^1=\{ x=e^{2 \pi ir} | r \in I \}$, if
$$d(x,y) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lcc}
             \min\{s-r,1-s+r\} &   \text{if} & r \leq s \\
             \\  \min\{r-s,1-r+s\} &  \text{if} & s \leq r \\
             \end{array}
   \right.$$
How can I prove that $d(x,y) $ is a metric in $\mathbb{S}^1$?
Just the triangular inequality it is hard for me, for example :
$x=y$ iff a)$r=s$, b) $r=0$ and $s=1$, or c) $r=1$ and $s=0$ so if $x=y$ then $d(x,y)=0$, for the other hand $d(x,y)=0$ then a)$r=s$, b) $1-s+r=0$, in case that $ r <s$ this implies $s=1$ and $r=0$ because of $1-s \geq 0$ and $r >0$, or analogously c) $r=0$ and $s=1$.
Is this correct? Thanks for your help and time.

A: On some level this proof will be a proof by cases. However, using cases based on the trichotomy law $s<r$ or $s>r$ or $s=r$ are going to cause you headaches, as they already seem to have done for proving the separation axiom $d(x,y)=0$ iff $x=y$.
First, don't just stick with that cumbersome formula for $d(x,y)$. Simplify it, by making good use of absolute values:
$$d(x,y) = \text{min}\{|s-r|,1-|s-r|\}
$$
The proof that $d(x,y)=0$ if and only if $x=y$ can then be simplified:

*If $x=y$ then we may take $s=r$ and so $|s-r|=0$ and hence $d(x,y)=0$. Conversely, if $d(x,y)=0$ then we may take $s,r$ such that $|s-r|=0$ or $1$ and it follows that $x=y$.

Can you take it from here?


Work-life balance and how to manage stress and wellbeing were common themes at two events I attended recently on behalf of IOSH.
IOSH was invited to partner with Management Today on two conferences – Inspiring Women in Business this month and earlier this year, Young Women in Business. While aimed at one gender, there was much to take away from both events to inform the support we give to all members.
Many of the leaders I met were asking about wellbeing. Along with presentations on the day we got to talking about flexible working. As someone also running a small business where everyone (except me!) works part-time, we discussed whether flexible working encourages a work-life balance or leaves people permanently switched on.
Being an OSHBod is challenging but rewarding work. Part-time work enables us to do other things which develops us in different ways whether this is raising a family, volunteering or being involved in something completely different. I strongly believe part-time work contributes just as much.
