Q: how would I configure a ruby on rails closing tag %> in atom In atom, while using .erb files my basic desire is to map a closing tag %> whenever I hit tab after typing <% or <%=
I do have emmet installed and it automatically wants to type <<%></%>, this isnt ideal...

A: If you have the Rails language package installed and the file extension is .erb then just type "=" (without the quotes) and then tab & it will give you both the opening & closing tags.
Typing "-" and tab will give you the non-display tags.

A: For those who might still be having an issue with this and have the 'language-ruby-on-rails' package already installed, check if you've installed emmet or some other shorthand helper package.
In the event that you do, consider either disabling emmet(or other shorthand package) entirely or configuring it to not interfere with those snippets generated by language-ruby-on-rails.

A: Maybe you can try setting a macro with this atom package:

I haven't used it myself, might be worth looking into for your needs.

Developing Communities
Karina wants a bright future so badly that she's risked her life to get there. She lives in El Salvador, where more than half a million people are involved with gangs. Many are young people, desperate for a purpose.
Tragically, gangs contribute to the world's highest homicide rate for minors. In El Salvador alone, more than 500 youth fall victim every year.
Karina was nearly one of those victims. As she walked the isolated country road from her home to her classes, there was a sudden noise. A minute later, masked men held a gun to Karina's head and assaulted her.
"Those men must not have been affiliated with the gangs," says Karina, now 19, "or they would have killed me."
Although the journey to learning is still perilous, that was the only day Karina has ever missed. A member of World Vision's Jóvenes Súper Pilas (Youth Ready) program, she's got her eyes on the end of the road.
Students in El Salvador face economic and social challenges unthinkable to many Canadians. Like Karina, most leave school early to earn money for the family. But thanks to Canadian support, Karina has resumed her studies with a focus on entrepreneurship. Soon, she'll create a business plan and receive the seed money to start a handicraft company.
Hearing of the success of Karina and others, adults are stepping forward to donate supplies or sign on as mentors. They're standing firmly behind dedicated learners, like Karina, who are bravely walking the road to transformation.

Needs imagemagic to run. Just works. Expand the archive and copy the script to caja or/and nautilus scripts folder. In older versions of mate, if $CAJA_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS in the script doesn't work, try putting the nautilus-scripts version into the mate-scripts folder (~/.mate2/caja-scripts).
I modified the KDE Clonator Icon script (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Clonator+ICON?content=54699) to get this.
Might run on Gnome 3 too.

Government to impose new air pollution targets
By Laura Sharman | 18 June 2021
The Government will increase funding to local authorities and impose new legal targets on air pollution in a bid to prevent further deaths.
In response to a coroner's prevention of future deaths report, ministers have agreed to increase the Air Quality Grant scheme for local authorities by £6m a year and launch a public awareness campaign about air pollution.
The report was published after the coroner ruled exposure to excessive air pollution contributed to the death of schoolgirl Ella Kissi-Debrah in 2013.
A consultation on new legal limits on air pollution will be launched next year.
The Government is developing a more sophisticated population exposure reduction target, with a new monitoring network to capture more detailed air quality information across the country.
Environment secretary George Eustice said: 'Today's response is part of a much wider cross-government effort to drive forward tangible and long-lasting changes to improve the air we breathe, as well as doing more to inform the public about the risks.'

Effective communication is a major factor for women executives to be successful on the job and for having healthy personal relationships, says Author Donna Mac, a well-known corporate communications trainer and keynote speaker. Ms. Mac is based in south eastern Massachusetts, with 30 years of experience in the communications industry.
The corporate communications expert notes that a recent article in Psychology Today says that whether a partner's communication "lifts you up or brings you down" is the single largest predictor of divorce. "That one trait can also translate into work too, observes Mac. "Often, a company's greatest talent leaves a job because of miscommunication or a lack of communication and limited trust," she says.
"Our society is changing at an incredible pace, so we often fail to have those vital conversations or to take time to ensure that understanding has taken place. Details fall through the cracks and we spend more time picking up the pieces than if we had taken a few moments to communicate effectively in the first place," says Mac.
In 2012, Mac said, the Dali Lama was quoted as saying, "western women will save the world". "I agree and disagree", says Mac. "I believe His Holiness saw the importance of bringing softer, more nurturing communication skills into the workplace. It's clear he was talking about the skills that prove to people that you've taken the time to think and care about them," she says.
Mac says, "Empathetic communication skills are more important now than ever. But the workplace also needs employees who have thick skin; professionals who are able to articulate the rules, regulations and take a firm stand on issues. Those skills," Mac says, "are the kind that will get you noticed by upper management. They come from someone not afraid to do and say the right thing at the right time, even if discomforting," she says.
"I see it all the time. Like when a boss doesn't provide her employees constructive feedback for fear of how that worker will feel," says Mac, noting that when this happens it can be a great disservice to the employee and the organization because you've lost an opportunity for everyone to maximize the potential of the company and its people.
Even with three decades of communication experience under her belt, Mac doesn't lose sight of the fact that she's still has more to learn. "I learn new modalities all the time. These days, I'm helping people become more mindful of how they communicate and what they can and cannot control. I've sharpened these skills through some recent mindfulness training. That means shutting down our noisy, overstimulated brains by sitting in silence, noticing our biases and doing breathing exercises".
Mac says, "I can't help with the current laws of the land or regulations in various businesses. But everyone in the workplace, women and men, need to the courage and ability to tell an abuser to stop…to say statements like, "I find that comment way out of line and I am asking you to stop now" or "Help me understand what you mean by that. I'm sure you realize that I don't stand for any type of intimidation".
This month we celebrate Women's History Month, to showcase the contribution women have made throughout society. Yes, history can be made in corporate American when women stop apologizing for speaking directly. You can do this while still being kind and respectful. It's like blending traditionally male and female communication traits when you are able to speak using both your brain and your intuition.
Donna Mac is author of Guide to a RICHER LIFE–Know Your Worth, Find Your Voice & Speak Your Mind, and The Six Pillars of Effective Communication. She is also a keynote speaker and private coach. For more details, go to http://www.dmacvoice.com.

7 Pieces of Military Gear Hipsters Would Love
You hate it, so of course they'd love it.
By Eric Milzarski
As if civilian fashion statements couldn't be any more incomprehensible, Urban Outfitters has planted its own ludicrous flag into the fashion world with their newest accessory: a $30 highlighter-yellow, reflective belt. You know, the exact same type used by troops all over the world since the early '90s.
At first, this news might confuse and frustrate you — it's not stolen valor, but it's definitely appropriation. Then, it'll dawn on you: the fools who buy this belt are literally spending $30 on a product that you can buy for $8 at the PX. So, in a way, who can blame Urban Outfitters? Who wouldn't want to pick up a few and sell them, making a cool $20 profit each?
Hell, we all have tough boxes full of a bunch of old uniform parts that hipsters would pay out the ass to own. The Afghanistan dust just adds character. It's like the "distressed" or "worn-out" look that's apparently a thing. Well, try these on for size:
1. Boonie caps
Everyone loves their boonie cap when they get issued one. Then, when they deploy, they quickly realize that they're in a unit that doesn't allow them to wear it. Occasionally, you'll see some other soldier wearing it at one of the bigger, POGgier air bases, but that's still not you.
Troops only really get the chance to wear them when they're out of the service and decorate it with whatever kind of pins they can attribute to their military career. Hipsters love decorating their junk with more junk.
Enjoy it! You won't be wearing that thing until you retire.
(U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Ashlee Lolkus)
2. Glove inserts
Hipsters go apesh*t over worthless things that seem (and are) cheaply made. There's nothing more worthless and cheaply made than a 2nd Lt with a map those lime-green inserts that are supposed to be worn inside of actually-useful leather gloves.
In fact, those inserts are so garbage that soldiers will often find a different pair of gloves that are "in regulation" just to avoid having to wear anything that requires these things. To make matters worse, no one ever buys them, but we all have at least five spares that magically appeared on our CIF gear lists.
The leather shells can withstand countless air assault missions and not rip. The inserts can barely keep the wind out.
3. Ranger panties
Hipsters love wearing things ironically. There's nothing veterans wear more ironically than the ranger panties that leave barely anything to the imagination.
Ranger panties are perfect for everything! You can run in them. You can sleep in them. You can go to the beach in them. You can slack off on the couch and watch Netflix because you've become fat and lazy since you got your DD-214 in them. You can even go hiking in them!
Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all…
(Ranger Up)
4. Green knee-high socks
As mentioned above, the magnitude of one's hipsteriness is defined by how "rustic" their clothing looks. That's why they'll dress like lumberjacks despite having never touched an axe.
That means they're chomping at the bit for any piece of clothing that starts to wear out after a single day! Luckily for all you hipsters out there, these green socks turn puke yellow after just one wear. Now that's efficiency!
Thankfully, the two socks in each pair change color at about the same rate.
(U.S. Army photo by Spc. Brian A. Barbour)
5. Mess dress cape
Hipsters must go overboard with everything they wear — otherwise, they won't get enough attention. It doesn't matter if it's the dead of summer, they'll still wear a cardigan with a loud scarf. They keep beanies securely affixed to their heads until they've grown enough hair to sport a man bun.
Why not add the most over-the-top piece of an officer's uniform? You know, that cape they've all secretly purchased but won't dare wearing to the unit ball?
"Oh, god. Is Lieutenant Carl still trying to do the whole Batman thing?" — "Yeah, just ignore him and it'll stop…"
(U.S. Marine Corps)
6. Those sexy AF military-issued skivvies
For some reason, hipsters always seem to dress like it's laundry day. For the troops, laundry day is the only time that anyone would ever dare to put on these bad boys.
I mean, who doesn't want to prove their manliness by having their genitals rubbed up against sandpaper all day?
Obviously a picture of them in the bag. The internet couldn't handle the raw sexual energy that these things exude when worn by a model.
(Exchange)
7. GI glasses
I'd love to make some funny, sort of ironic joke about hipsters wanting to wear the BCGs — but that's almost exactly the type of glasses that they actually wear, whether they need prescription lenses or not.
When troops who wear glasses get to their first unit, they immediately toss their up-armored eyewear and carry on wearing whatever else. Barely anyone in the history of these damned glasses has looked good in them — but for some reason, hipsters think they cracked the code.
Except this guy. He managed to pull the look off. But you are not this guy, so you can't.

Сары́-Шага́н — военный полигон в Казахстане. Расположен к северо-западу и западу от озера Балхаш в степи Бетпак-Дала на территориях Карагандинской и Жамбылской областей. Арендован Министерством обороны Российской Федерации (Минобороны России).

Административный центр полигона — ЗАТО Приозёрск, расположенный на берегу озера Балхаш. Ближайшая к Приозёрску железнодорожная станция Сары-Шаган находится в 10 км северо-западнее него в одноимённом населённом пункте на железной дороге Моинты—Чу, построенной в 1950 году.

На территории полигона имеется действующий военный аэродром «Камбала» и несколько заброшенных грунтовых аэродромов. Через полигон также проходит автомобильная дорога Екатеринбург — Алма-Ата.

Код номерных знаков транспортных средств 10 ГИП Минобороны России — 92.

История
Первый и единственный в Евразии полигон для разработки и испытаний противоракетного оружия. В СССР официальное название полигона — Государственный научно-исследовательский и испытательный полигон № 10 Министерства обороны СССР (МО СССР). Полигон занимал 81 200 км² (в том числе 49 200 км² на территории Карагандинской области КазССР).

Строительство полигона и города было начато в 1956 году в связи с разработкой системы ПРО под названием Система А. Основными критериями выбора местности для полигона были, как и при создании ракетных полигонов Капустин Яр и НИИП-5 (Байконур), наличие малонаселённой равнинной безлесной местности, большое количество безоблачных дней, отсутствие ценных сельхозугодий. Маршал Неделин вспоминал: Это очень суровый пустынный район, необжитой, непригодный даже для выпаса отар. Каменистая бесплодная и безводная пустыня. Но главный жилгородок противоракетного полигона можно будет привязать к озеру Балхаш. В нём пресная, хотя и жёстковатая, вода, и городок будет блаженствовать, если можно применить это слово к пустыне.

9 июня 1960 года на полигоне скончался от сердечного приступа Генеральный конструктор ОКБ-301 С. А. Лавочкин (во время проведения испытания системы ПВО «Даль»).

В октябре 1960 года на площадках № 14 и № 15 полигона стала на боевое дежурство радиолокационная станция дальнего обнаружения «Дунай-2» (к 1974 году модернизирована до «Дунай-3УП». В дальнейшем на полигоне на площадке № 8 испытывался усечённый по возможностям прототип радиолокационной станции следующего поколения «Дон-2НП».

4 марта 1961 года на полигоне экспериментальным комплексом ПРО Система «А» впервые в мире сбита боеголовка баллистической ракеты.

В октябре 1961 года и октябре 1962 года над полигоном в ходе комплексных испытаний, произведены 5 ядерных взрывов на высотах от 80 км до 300 км.

15 июля 1966 года Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР за успешное выполнение заданий по разработке, созданию и освоению новой военной техники полигон награждён орденом Ленина.

20 апреля 1981 года полигон (10 ГНИИП Войск ПВО) награждён орденом Красной Звезды.

На полигоне были испытаны все советские и российские комплексы ПРО и ПВО дальнего действия, многие перспективные РЛС, экспериментальные комплексы на основе боевых лазеров большой мощности (в том числе программы «Терра», «Омега»).

Всего на полигоне было отработано: 6 противоракетных комплексов; комплекс воздушного перехвата орбитальных целей; 12 зенитно-ракетных комплексов; 7 типов противоракет; 12 типов зенитных управляемых ракет; 14 типов измерительной техники; 18 радиолокационных комплексов и несколько систем на новых физических принципах. Обеспечены испытания 15 ракетных комплексов стратегического назначения и их модификаций.

В 1998 году полигон «Сары-Шаган» был выведен из состава войск ПВО и переподчинён 4-му Государственному центральному межвидовому полигону (находится в ведении РВСН).

Современное состояние
В 1990-х годах большая часть объектов полигона была выведена из эксплуатации и заброшена, в последующие годы — разграблена мародёрами, оборудование демонтировано.

По состоянию на 2014 год, из-за спорного правового статуса заброшенных площадок полигона, эти территории не рекультивированы, захламлены остатками зданий и сооружений, загрязнены отходами жизнедеятельности полигона. После провозглашения в 1991 году независимости Казахстана на территорию полигона распространяется его суверенитет. В 1996 году был подписан Договор между правительством Российской Федерации и правительством Республики Казахстан об аренде испытательного полигона Сары-Шаган, по которому Россия брала часть площади полигона в аренду. Площади, на которые не распространялась аренда, переходили в пользование РК. Однако конкретных шагов так и не было сделано, имущество до сих пор не принято на баланс соответствующих ведомств Казахстана.

Фактически территория полигона не охраняется. На практике полигон открыт для всех желающих его посетить. Отсутствуют какие-либо обозначения границ полигона, нет информационных знаков и щитов, на которых было бы объяснено, чем рискуют несанкционированные посетители полигона и какую ответственность они могут понести за это. Для получения же официального разрешения, при условии наличия всех необходимых документов, требуются многие месяцы. Без каких-либо разрешений на территории полигона местное население зарабатывает себе на жизнь собирая металлолом и «добывая» стройматериалы.

СМИ сообщали о нескольких случаях обнаружения населением остатков вооружений, например о найденных в 2005 году брошенных бочках с напалмом (советское военное название — «огнесмесь»).

В связи с развалом советской оборонной промышленности и в связи с сокращением объёмов российских программ ПРО и ПКО с конца 1990-х годов испытания ракет на полигоне производятся всего один-два раза в году. В частности, в декабре 2010 года были проведены учебные стрельбы ракетой «Тополь». Регулярную учебную деятельность на полигоне ведут военные части Министерства обороны Казахстана.

24 октября 2012 года на полигоне условную цель уничтожил прототип новой российской баллистической ракеты с мобильной пусковой установкой РС-26, запущенный с полигона Капустин Яр в Астраханской области России.

4 марта 2014 года межконтинентальная баллистическая ракета РС-12М «Тополь», запущенная с полигона Капустин Яр в Астраханской области России, поразила учебную цель на полигоне.

В 2016 году было ратифицировано российско-казахстанское соглашение, которое установило новые границы полигона, исключив из него некоторые участки.

На начало 2017 года начата модернизация экспериментальной испытательной базы полигона. Доставлены комплексы оптико-электронных систем наземного базирования «Берет-М», оптико-электронные станции траекторно-измерительного комплекса «ОЭС ТИК», оптико-электронные станции «Сажень-ТМ», антенные комплексы приёмо-телеметрической информации АП-4, современные приёмо-регистрирующие станции и аппаратура системы единого времени. Начаты монтажные и пусконаладочные работы.

Separated by circumstance, they are now teenagers on different paths – but energetic Chihaya believes the karuta national championship will reunite their friendship. But when classical poetry is not exactly cool, can Chihaya find enough students to start a karuta team?

The Berlin professor Erich Saling is a significant pathfinder of the medical field called "Perinatal Medicine" which cares for mothers and infants before, during, and after birth.
In 1960 professor Saling performed the first direct examination of the unborn child, the "fetal micro blood analysis", opening the door to prenatal medicine.
He is also the founder of the first national as well as the first international special society of Perinatal Medicine. His significant contributions led to the expansion of this specialty. The international community of colleagues therefore calls him the "Father of Perinatal Medicine".
In 1988 the Berlin Senate distinguished professor Saling by awarding him the Ernst-Reuter medal for his services. In 2001 he was decorated with the Order of the Federal Republic of Germany, 1st class by the President of the German Republic, Johannes Rau. In 2000 the "World Association of Perinatal Medicine" established an award named after professor Saling as a special honor. This award is given every two years to the best scientist in the field of Perinatal Medicine. In May 2005 Prof. Saling has been elected as president of the new founded "International Academy of Perinatal Medicine", and in September 2010 he was re-elected for the next five years.
Since the 1970s Prof. Saling was the Director of the Institute of Perinatal Medicine of the Free University of Berlin and the Director of the Department of Obstetrics in the community Hospital Berlin Neukölln (Germany). During his responsibility over 60 000 children were born. In order to be able to continue his work to improve the health of mother and child, he founded the non-profit "Erich Saling-Institute of Perinatal Medicine e.V.". Even after "retirement" he thus developed one of his best achievements: The Self-Care-Program for pregnant women.

Please, I am not trying to hack for malevolent intentions, I need this for work so I can assess internal file structure of iPhone.
If this is possible to jailbreak, please let me know what I am doing wrong as I have followed all instructions to the letter.
Thank you so much for replying. It's a Macbook and a OS X 10.5.6. I bought macbook quite recently.
Sounds like your issue is with your Mac and dfu mode. Latest Mac update will create that. Use a hub if possible. Will solve your issue.
Thanks again for replying. May I ask what is a 'hub' is like a router? Sorry I am really new to these things.
Thank you so very, very much for your hints! I used iMac OS X 10.4.11 at work and got it going on the first try with QuickPwn!!! So it was the upgraded OS on my macbook that was the problem.
P.S. still not sure what hub is though.

It was his first purpose to make a feint on Beauregard at Manassas, while making a real attack upon Joe Johnston in the Valley of Virginia. With the defeat of Johnston the victorious army could march on Beauregard at Manassas, re-enforced by the troops around the Federal capital. Soldiers of high reputation and great merit were ordered to report to Patterson. Fitz John Porter was his adjutant general, Amos Beckwith commissary of subsistence, Crosman quartermaster, Sampson topographical engineer, Newton engineer; while such men as A. E. Burnside, George H. Thomas, Miles, Abercrombie, Cadwalader, Stone, and Negley commanded troops; and then, the laws being silent in the midst of arms, Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, was his aid-de-camp. From Patterson's position two routes led to the Valley of Virginia, one via Frederick, Md., across the Potomac at Harper's F

McClellan, with his five corps under Sumner, Franklin, Porter, Heintzelman, and Keyes, slowly followed the Confederate army as it fell back on Richmond. As he arrived in its immediate vicinity he began to deploy his legionsn at Hanover Court House, some fourteen miles from Richmond, guarding and watching the country in front of Johnston's left. To make this attack certain, General Fitz John Porter was given twelve thousand men, and partially accomplished the object of the expedition by defeating Branch and destroying the bridges and railroads in thder Heintzelman, followed. The Chickahominy now divided McClellan's army into two parts. Two of his corps were on the south, and three-Sumner's, Franklin's, and Porter's — on the north side, McClellan's headquarters being at Gaines Mill.

I recently wrote about some of the great activities for boys to do at Walt Disney World. It got me feeling kind of bad for girls visiting Disney World. Is there anything for them to do there? Well, of course, there is a TON for girls at Disney World.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique – As we all know, it begins at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in the Magic Kingdom or in the World of Disney Store at Downtown Disney. This salon gives every princess the royal treatment! They have a variety of packages for girls ages 3-12 with fantastic up-dos, nail polish and makeup. You, of course, can buy a princess dress as well.
Tea Parties –There are actually a number of tea party options at the Grand Floridian Resort!
Wonderland Tea Party – This daily tea party with the Alice in Wonderland crew has stories, sweets, treats and crafts for children.
Afternoon Tea – If you choose not to go with a themed tea then stop by the Grand Floridian's Garden View Tea Room during the afternoon for teas and sweets. Reservations are not always necessary, but certainly can't hurt!
Character Meals – What could be better than a meal with a princess or Mary Poppins?
1900 Park Fare – This character meal at Disney's Grand Floridian offers meals with Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland's crew at breakfast, tea with Alice (see my notes below) during the day or Cinderella and friends at dinner.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall – In Norway at Epcot, dine with multiple Disney princesses. It's a gorgeous restaurant that really looks like a royal banquet hall.
Princesses – Your princess will be thrilled with all of the princesses she's able to meet at Walt Disney World. At the Magic Kingdom alone, you can meet Tiana, Rapunzel, Belle, Jasmine, Princess Aurora, Cinderella, Arielle and Merida! You may also run into a Disney fairy while you're there. No character meal is required. Grab your camera and your autograph books and get ready for amazing memories.
Pony Rides – At the Tri-Circle D Ranch at the Fort Wilderness Resort, children 2 and older can go on pony rides! This is a great activity for little girls (and boys!). Horseback riding as well as carriage rides are also available.
Live Shows – There are a number of great shows in the parks that any girl will love! Check out Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage or Voyage of the Little Mermaid at Hollywood Studios. They are both fantastic stage shows.
Shopping – As a female, I feel perfectly comfortable saying that girls like shopping. Ok, so I might be stereotyping a bit. However, many do and there is a ton of great shopping at Disney World. An afternoon perusing the shops at Downtown Disney may be the perfect option for your daughter. It would be for me!
New Fantasyland – Have you heard the news that Disney is almost doubling the size of Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom? Parts are already open with more to follow this fall. This is going to be a true fantasy land. Fantasyland Forest will have themed areas from the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast and two new castles! The Be Our Guest restaurant will let guests dine in the ballroom of the Beast's castle.
Stay in a Royal Suite – Port Orleans Resort, Riverside recently debuted royal theme guest rooms. The beds have fiber optic fireworks on the headboards and royal theme touches have been added to the rooms. Any girl would love staying there.
Disney World is truly an amazing place. They go out of their way to make every little girl feel like a princess! What is your favorite attraction for your girls?
The breakfast with the princesses was excellent. You didn't have to chase them all down at the park and the castle was pretty cool, too!


"Great Doctors and Nurses working in 3rd world..."
This was my grandson's 3rd stay since August 2011 - 99.9% of the medical staff were fab & lovely kind staff.
Infection control is poor - out of 10 would rate 1- Hand gel is in place and used but is a very tiny part of infection control - beds are far to close for people with different virus's and thus infection is passed from person to person. On my visits (3 days each time ) floors were dry mopped only - half heartedly - I never saw any surfaces wiped of cleaned by cleaning staff . when a patient was discharged the bedding was taken off and one side of the rubber pillow wiped with a wipe and the top side of the mattress wiped. - what about all the bed guards/rails/ tables/chairs/curtains/medical equipment etc !!!!!!!! - if my house was cleaned like this I would sack the cleaner - come on NHS - expensive ads have been aired on TV about Swine flu infection control - so start taking your own advice !
Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback. We always appreciate an opportunity to consider how we may improve our services.
It can sometimes feel that medical staff ask the same questions a number of times. Frequently there are patient safety reasons for doing this.
Patient safety is our priority. I can confirm that the spaces around our beds are compliant with regulations. We work hard to ensure that infectious patients are nursed away from those who are infection free. Cleaning schedules are displayed on the walls in each of our wards and compliance with these is audited monthly. Spot checks on standards are undertaken daily. The audit score for the period in question was above the acceptable standard.
We are very sorry to learn that you observed cleaning procedures for a bed space that fell below the standard we would like to maintain. We do use wipes that are specifically recommended for bed cleaning. The cleaning procedure includes all surfaces, including bed rails, furniture in the vicinity and any medical equipment that has been used for and by the patient. If you would like to get in touch with us to provide more detail we will look into this for you and where appropriate.
We would like to thank you for your kind comments about our medical staff.

I don't direct for theatre very often, but when I do it is usually for Different Breed Theatre - a collective of like-minded actors who enjoy making non-pretentious 'event theatre'.
So far I've directed Anthony Nielson's The Night Before Christmas (twice) in a Bermondsey beer arch, and InTents (which I also wrote) at Grosvenor Square and Southwark Park.
"A talented cast of our four actors really delivered the goods. All of them were totally believable and they worked superbly together bringing their respective characters to life…a really great show that kept me entertained and, perversely, managed to re-kindle some of the old Christmas spirit in me once more, so I will raise a glass to that!" **** London Theatre 1
"I can promise you that you won't be disappointed in this hour long production by the Different Breed Theatre Company"
A Glimpse of London
"It is a fast paced, brilliantly put together show full of slapstick, farce and jokes to make your hair curl and will make you laugh til you cry. And if you are after an antidote to traditional pantos, you won't do better than spend an hour in Gary's warehouse seeing this. A winner"

The View from Kenya on World Water Monitoring Day
By Marianne de Nazareth
As our car bumped along the long road to Mariakani village in rural Mombasa, I saw Kenyan mothers carrying their babies strapped to their backs, often balancing a heavy plastic container of water on their heads.
For several years, Mombasa has been reeling under terrible drought conditions. Procurement of fresh water by the rural women was from dodgy sources and this caused a lot of illness and death by diarrhea in children and babies. I and others on this field visit witnessed women and girls collecting water from a local village pond for their fresh water supplies. They walked hours to haul enough water for their families.
This local problem has not been lost on the rest of the world. Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), spoke to the issue last month in Nairobi, Kenya. "It is what we have done to the water supplies of the world which is coming back to haunt us. Transforming wastewater from a major health and environmental hazard into a clean, safe and economically attractive resource is emerging as a key challenge in the 21st century. It is a challenge which will intensify as the world undergoes rapid urbanization, industrialization, unless decisive action is taken.
"The new report … Sick Water says 2 million tons of waste estimated to equal 2 or more billion tons of wastewater is being discharged daily into rivers and seas. 1.2 million children die of this, and more than half the hospital beds have people suffering and dying from the drinking of polluted water than [from] all the violence in the world," he added.
Steiner's words need to be heeded ─ especially in places where people take fresh water supplies for granted. After all, water that is fit to drink without risk of immediate or long-term harm is fundamental to human well being. Without food we can survive for weeks, but without water we can die of dehydration in as little as two days.
At Mariakani, we witnessed the International Water Association's Water Quality Monitoring program in action. Meant to educate the village on the importance of quality water for household uses, we saw children in the Kinagoni Primary School test the turbidity and pH of the water using reliable field sampling tools. Facilitators taught the children that daily monitoring and preventing pollution in their fresh water source was important for all-round health.
According to UNEP and the Pacific Institute, "new and improved legal and institutional frameworks to protect water quality are needed from the international level down to the watershed and community level. As a first step, laws on protecting and improving water quality should be adopted and adequately enforced. Model pollution policies should be disseminated more widely and guidelines should be developed for ecosystem water quality as they are for drinking water quality. A concerted global education and awareness building campaign around water quality issues is needed, with targeted regional and national campaigns that connect water quality to issues of cultural and historical importance."
Nancy Ross, director of Communications at the Pacific Institute in California, who also went on the field visit, said, "Education and information are key to motivating for change – and for making change. Giving the girls a hands-on experience to understand what can be going on with their water at the very least gives them something to think about, and certainly can lead to their being more aware of water quality so that they do whatever is available to them to try to use water in the cleanest, safest way that is possible. Any steps toward using cleaner water lead to health benefits for themselves and their families, and the empowerment of knowing, and doing, can also be great."
There are few areas on the planet that do not face serious water availability or management problems like the village of Mariakani. But although water is a global issue, the problems and solutions are highly localized.

Tier survivors
By Malcolm Wheatley, Malcolm Ramsay2011-04-01T10:38:44+01:00
The recession has consolidated the tier supply chain, forcing those who have managed to survive to become stronger and more competitive. But that has to be reflected in their own supply chain efficiency as well.
A lot of work left to be done
A 'no silo' approach
Earning a profit as a tier one automotive supplier has never been for the faint-hearted. For a start, there's that famously cut-throat competition. Then there is the slim margins and ever-shorter product life-cycles, as well as a requirement for levels of demand responsiveness that border on the most extreme to be found in business anywhere.
And things haven't been made any easier by a fast-changing industry landscape that has seen a decade of breakneck globalisation add to both the commercial and logistics challenges that an automotive tier one faces. New entrants from overseas are competing in tier ones' home markets, in short, even as tier ones themselves must support extended supply chains brought about by OEMs establishing production plants in far-flung emerging economies.
Nor is there any doubt as to the relative balance of power in the OEM-supplier relationship. After decades of playing supplier off against supplier, OEMs remain firmly in the driving seat.
"Historically, tier ones have been at the mercy of the OEMs," says John Begg, director of North American logistics at tier one automotive seating supplier CRH North America. "They set the schedules, they have the power to re-set them on a dime, and the supply industry has no choice but to carry the capacity it needs to be able to respond."
Worse, the pressure that carmakers exert on tier suppliers can be difficult to reciprocate in terms of the tier ones' relationships with their own suppliers. Either the nature of the tier twos' business is such that automotive work accounts for only a modest proportion of their revenues, thus sapping tier ones' leverage, or–as Begg puts it–automotive work instead perversely accounts for too much of their revenues.
"When we go to our tier twos for the same flexibility as is required of us, they can't cope–because they're also supplying Magna, Lear and all the other tier ones," he notes.
The logistics pressures, too, are very different for a tier one supplier than for an automotive OEM. Contrast the on-time performance requirements placed on outbound logistics by an OEM with those to which a tier one must comply, for example.
"For an automotive OEM, if a car is a day late arriving at a dealer, it's an embarrassment," says Adrian Weiler, chief executive of automotive supply chain planning and optimisation vendor Inform. "But if a truck with components on it is just two hours late, production might stop: the imperatives are very different."
And contrast, too, the behind-the-scenes technical challenges involved in achieving this level of performance.
"It's not just about delivering on time," stresses Weiler. "The tier one must also–if required–deliver in sequence. Yet the time available to carry out schedule optimisation activities to do this is very limited: the schedule might come through just hours before delivery is expected."
Yet talk to tier ones with this background in mind, and a recurring complaint–from a total automotive supply chain perspective–is a misplaced sense of relative priorities.
For even though it's the tier ones' logistics flows that are on the critical path, it's the OEM's logistics flows that get the carriers' bandwidth and attention. Especially when the distances involved are cross-border or cross-continent.
"OEMs have the purchasing clout from a transportation and logistics perspective," says Mike Pilver, vice-president of global automotive sales and marketing at APL Logistics. "They have critical mass, and offer carriers steady flows and steady volumes. So they're not really affected by times of peak volume, when, say, container traffic is dominated by retailers building inventory for the holiday season."
But increasingly, it's a case of 'that was then–and this is now', as memories of before the 2008-2009 recession fade fast. Tier one automotive suppliers should in theory today be in a more comfortable place than they've been for years. For while the financial crisis and ensuing recession of 2008-2009 was very painful, it was also cathartic.
In March 2009, for instance, a study by consulting firm AT Kearney warned that over half the United States' automotive supplier base could go bankrupt in 2009, with many of the remainder forced into restructuring and plant closures.
Painful, to be sure. Yet two years on, the observations of John Godfrey, director of logistics at tier one tyre supplier Pirelli Tire North America, neatly summarise the views of many.
"The tier ones that made it through the crisis are survivors," he notes. "Two or three years ago, automotive OEMs had a choice of five or six suppliers–and now there might be only two or three."
So how has the automotive tier one logistics landscape changed to reflect this new paradigm? What pressures shape it today–and are they different from the pressures that existed pre-recession? Where do the opportunities for improvement lie, and what might be done to unlock these improvements?
Certainly, there have been changes. APL's Pilver, for instance, points to rising automotive demand from consumers and businesses resulting in stresses and strains in global automotive supply chains that in pre-recessionary times would have coped more readily.
In terms of both manufacturing capacity and logistics capability, deep and savage cuts have resulted in a leaner operation, but also one that lacks the ability to respond quite so readily to fluctuations in demand.
"We're seeing a lot of premium flows," he reports. "OEMs and tier ones still haven't caught up with demand."
Pirelli's Godfrey concurs: "Here at Pirelli we're seeing many more requests for airfreight and expedited logistics services, with OEMs stepping in to pay the cost themselves–and I'm getting the feeling that other tier one suppliers are experiencing the same thing."
The rush to offshore manufacture has slowed, too, with logistics service providers pointing to clear signs that in some cases it has even reversed, with parts returning to onshore–or at least 'near shore'–manufacture.
"Tier ones have moved a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, whereas their tier two supply base has stayed in the Midwest [United States]," says Jorge Salas, group director, Ryder Supply Chain Solutions. "The result is a lot of network complexity and cross-border traffic that builds in additional cost and additional timescale."
"There's a growing recognition that long supply chains are too risky complex to manage," says APL's Pilver. "A charter from Mexico to Detroit is one thing–an intercontinental charter from Shanghai to Detroit is quite another."
So where are the improvement opportunities in this changed landscape? What can tier ones do to make their lives easier– and more profitable–from a logistics perspective?
One answer is surprising. Despite the deep cuts of 2008- 2009, it seems that running leaner still is something that remains very much a possibility.
"We're lean, and we're leaner than we've ever been, but we're not as lean as we could be," affirms CRH North America's Begg. In just one year, he reports, CRH was able to cut its transport budget by 32%–which, he adds, "is a reflection of how much waste there was in the system."
The cuts in question were achieved by taking a sharp pencil to practices that may once have arisen through prerecessionary customer pressures, but which now seem either unnecessary or too costly to be justifiable.
A prime example, says Begg, was a tendency to ship two less- than-full-load trucks to the same customer on the same day–a practice that has been eliminated or at least much reduced by a combination of better planning, better communication, and firmer discipline.
Apart from such wastes, becoming leaner will require changed attitudes and flexible thinking, suggests Ryder's Salas.
"Tier ones are looking for a lean environment where they can impose predictability and Japanese-style heijunka," he says. "But this means that they do need to not run their trucks sub-optimally when volumes change. It's about making a fixed environment more dynamic–and not about trying to keep that fixed environment with its fixed costs and fixed requirements."
Another area of potential improvement seems to be the ongoing mis-match between the primary thrust of tier ones management focus and attention, and the actual challenges facing the business.
APL's Pilver, for example, sees tier ones focusing heavily on outbound logistics–the release of manufactured parts to a customer schedule, and shipping those parts on-time and in-sequence. A predictable enough emphasis from a commercial perspective, perhaps. Yet ironically, he points out, this aspect of their businesses is rarely the pain point that such a single-minded focus would suggest.
"Where I see tier ones suffer is on their inbound logistics, not their outbound logistics," Pilver says. "They do a great job of releasing parts to avoid penalties–but their inbound flows are typically less well-planned, less-well structured, and more prone to a reliance on premium services."
"Going forward, tier ones need to pay the same level of attention to their inbound supply chain as they do to their outbound supply chain logistics–which for many of them is going to be something of a cultural shock. They're producing parts and materials on long leadtimes over intercontinental distances, and if there are any issues with quality or demand then they inevitably struggle, and have to revert to premium priced flows."
Nor is the situation getting any better, he emphasises. "Logistics isn't really a tier one competency, apart from in the very largest suppliers," says Pilver. "Their management is focused on manufacturing, not logistics, and a lot of logistics expertise has been lost in the restructuring that followed the 2008-2009 recession."
Inevitably the challenges of inbound improvement call into question tier ones' relationships with their tier two suppliers, and the skills and abilities of those tier two suppliers.
"Tier ones are working to bring tier twos up to the same service levels as are expected of them–and while there has been a degree of improvement over the last couple of years, there's still a lot of progress to be made," says Ryder's Salas.
A 'no silo' approach
That said, regional differences complicate the issue, says Peter Baumann, global director for automotive at logistics service provider Geodis Wilson.
"Tier two suppliers are at a different stage of development in Asia to what you find in Europe and North America," he says. "In Europe, tier two suppliers are fairly well developed, although perhaps not to the extent found in North America. But in Asia, they're further behind–which brings complexity into the supply chain, as they lack the training and understanding that is ideally required."
In short, a complicated picture. And roll it all together, and these are opportunities best tapped across the total supply chain, suggests Bill Olver, vice-president for automotive at DHL Global Customer Solutions.
"A 'no silo' approach across the total supply chain, managed by logistics partners, and straddling raw material suppliers right through 'n' tier of suppliers to the OEM and their final customers, offers considerable advantage over freight execution purchased in individual pieces," he points out.
"While still being reactive to demand and market requirements, such an approach could proactively manage and optimise elements such as strategic supplier management, materials management, tax and fiscal compliance, planning and forecasting, strategic carrier management, inventory management, control tower operations, connectivity with OEM systems and landed cost studies," Olver adds.
Will this happen? Time will tell. What it is possible to say, though, is that the arguments for just such a development are becoming ever more compelling, propelled by a widelyreported desire by OEMs to see tier ones take a more active role in managing the OEM inbound supply chain.
For given some tier ones' evident lack of skill–or even interest–in logistics and supply chain planning, abrogating the role to specialist partners who are better equipped to perform it makes excellent sense. It won't happen overnight, and it won't happen evenly, but the odds seem good that a push in this direction will be made.

"BUT THE EYES OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE THE EYES THAT RUIN US": EMPIRE-STYLE FURNITURE AND NAPOLEON'S EGYPT
Posted by dishajani
By contributing writer Stephanie Zgouridi
While living in Paris in 1784, surrounded by beautifully carved bureaus, tasteful tables, and fragile glass flutes of champagne, Benjamin Franklin penned a letter to a friend, in which he stated, "But the eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us. If all but myself were blind, I should want neither fine clothes, fine houses, nor fine furniture." Contained within Franklin's words was a tacit judgment of vain opulence, and a reminder that such opulence was a fundamentally visual practice. Indeed, it was precisely because mankind was not blind that the fineries of the rich were broken or taken away during the French Revolution only a few years later, and that furnishing Napoleon's spaces with taste and style was the equivalent of a political bid to gain status and power. And because the visual requires at least two components, that which is viewing and that which is viewed, I contend that the visual process is almost always a divisive one. It highlights activity versus passivity, the primary versus the secondary—but not always in the direction or the combinations that one might expect. In the Napoleonic period, for instance, the emperor's architects were viewers of both him and his empire, in some ways even superseding Napoleon's role in determining his own image and the national imaginary of the places to which he'd traveled.
Just fifteen years after Franklin's departure from Paris, architects Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine came under the patronage of the Bonapartes, and with the best interest of their clients in mind, proceeded to design a corpus of work that would later fit under the bracket of "Empire-style furniture", a term typically applied to architecture, furniture, and other decorative arts that aimed to glorify the First French Empire. In consideration of their patrons, Percier and Fontaine frequently produced furnishings that were grandiose in scale and dotted with Egyptian motifs, particularly the sphinx— elements of the caractère of the owner and his many voyages and exploits (Kruft, 166). Although today Napoleon's campaign in Egypt is thought of as a loss, it is important to recall that he marched at least 40,000 men through Egypt's great cities, Alexandria and Cairo, lighting them ablaze and capturing them, far before that defeat came. Percier and Fontaine, in line with Napoleon's own sentiments, chose to cast the expedition as a victory in terms of a "conquest…over ignorance", and so displayed as frequently as possible the many objects discovered and catalogued by Napoleon's men during the expedition. The Sphinx of Giza was prominent amongst them (Strathern, 1).
A first glance at this situation might cause one to cast architects Percier and Fontaine as the viewers, and Napoleon himself as the viewed, a person deconstructed only to be reconstructed into a semblance of harmonious interior furnishings meant to impress guests. Some might even proceed to say that there is a difference in primacy of experience between these first viewers and those that were intended to view the very same tableau afterwards. Percier and Fontaine, after all, could do what even Napoleon could not. As the scholar Leora Auslander put it while discussing the relationship between the king and his objects during the Ancièn Regime, "Qualifying the king's capacity to determine aesthetic form was the fact that neither the king nor his court could make anything. The crown was dependent on artisans, architects, and artists to create visual and mechanical forms" (30). Although Napoleon was no king in the absolutist sense, he was also no cabinetmaker. In terms of technical capacity, then, Napoleon and the future guests he hoped to impress were equally powerless. Patronage went a long way, but its influence ended where the role of the architect began. Only Percier and Fontaine, the direct producers of these objects, stood apart from both Napoleon and future viewers of these things. In this dynamic alone we see that the viewer may not always be the primary component in a visual exchange, for not all viewers are equal.
But just as not all viewers are equal, neither are all things that are viewed. The Egyptian motifs mentioned above show how specific bits and pieces of Egyptian culture might have been transported into Napoleon's spaces, but still did not indicate any knowledge, understanding, or acceptance of it. In the works of Percier and Fontaine, this much was demonstrated by a variety of visual practices, perhaps most clearly through the placement of said elements in the pieces of furniture at large. Take the following piece included in their Recueil de Décorations Intérieures: Comprenant tout ce qui a Rapport à l'Ameublement as an example:
[Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine, Recueil de Décorations Intérieures: Comprenant tout ce qui a Rapport à l'Ameublement (Paris, 1812), Planche X in Appendix.]
This jardinière designed by the duo, for instance, features sphinxes placed into only supporting roles— quite literally. In fact, not only were their heads somewhat ridiculously serving as supports for flower pots, but their wings were the supports for the structure that held up the large figure of the minor Greek goddess Hebe. That the goddess Hebe, designated in studies of Greek mythology to the humble status of a cupbearer, was the highest point and central feature of this piece (in their words, the piece was "crowned" by her statue) with the sphinxes meant as support clearly betrayed a lack of interest in understanding the status and place of the sphinx in the ancient Egyptian world (Percier and Fontaine, 23).
Positioning and placement in a static medium such as furniture-making was crucial, for once selected and built, changes were very difficult to make. The sphinxes in pieces of Empire furniture could not easily be molded or moved; likewise, neither could the status and position of Egyptian culture within Napoleon's empire be easily disturbed. Percier and Fontaine, having previously worked on architecture and furnishings for the theater, were intimately aware of the fact that their art was a fundamentally static one. As Iris Moon put it in her study of Percier and Fontaine, "Essentially, the architecture of theater was a problem of motion: how to move the audience through static materials, and how to freeze the action of the play into scenes…" (44). While Napoleon's properties were no theater in the traditional sense, they were theatrical all the same, decorated with furnishings meant to both frame and build upon the character of the emperor. In fact, this jardinière was to be gifted by Napoleon to Sweden, in a somewhat contradictory movement of a static piece and message. It was posturing in the farthest and largest sense, extending Napoleon's viewership past the bounds of his empire. The problem of the static in the theater applied to the theater of everyday life. As Napoleon's persona became an explicitly imperial one, the Egyptian campaign became immutably tied to the furnishings of the Bonapartes—and the practices of viewing the immovable, aesthetically potent, and structurally integral sphinx, as above, lay bare the dynamics of power in Napoleon's empire.
But what does this lowly placement of Egyptian motifs in a static medium (as in the jardinière above as well as in countless other pieces featured in Percier and Fontaine's Recueil) mean for the dynamic of viewing and being viewed? It suggests that Egyptian motifs were consistently refused primacy, despite the fact that they were ironically selected from within a vast range of possibilities by Percier and Fontaine for the express purpose of being seen. These images were borrowed and used as symbols precisely because they were to remain forever in the dark; it is only around the unknown and that which is not understood that one can build a myth of man, after all. In Percier and Fontaine's quest to build Napoleon up, they did so by bringing Egypt and her many cultural images down. Her images became facets of one foreign man rather than the expressions of an entire culture and its history. It was not Napoleon that was ruined by the eyes of others and the opulent practices that that entailed— it was Egypt.

Public Safety Prepares The Community for Active Shooter Situations
April 24, 2018 April 25, 2018 River Matis25180
In the case of an active shooter situation, people are often confused on how to respond. On April 10 in Walker Auditorium, Public Safety provided answers.
Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) training teaches faculty and students how to respond in the case of an active shooter situation. Kevin Lee and Dan Reilly from Public Safety gave this lecture to a group of people to make sure others are prepared for a dangerous situation.
The lecture mainly discussed the Run, Hide, Fight system. In the case of an active shooter situation, they advised to do one of these three procedures as the situation allows.
Run if the shooter doesn't sound close and an exit is in sight. While running, make sure to steer passersby away from the danger zone and find somewhere safe to be as you wait for responders.
Hide if necessary, such as if the exit is not clear or you are trapped in a room. Use furniture to barricade the door, turn off lights and keep quiet.
The final system is to fight if absolutely necessary. If there is no way out and the shooter is coming close, use fire extinguishers and any surrounding items that can be picked up to defend oneself.
Reilly and Lee also advised attendees to keep away from people in the vicinity when it comes time to speak to authorities. This is important when communicating with law enforcement to help them identify the shooter. Mingling with others could mix up stories. The sooner a definitive story gets sorted out the sooner the suspect can be caught.
This all comes in light of recent shootings such as the Parkland shooting, "Everyone has to work together as a team to get through these traumatic events and support each other," said Dan Reilly of Public Safety.

Late last year, I visited a friend of mine over in New Jersey. When I got there, I was gifted a box of The Renegade Coder keychains. Of course, I don't need all 100 of them, so I've decided to do a bit of a keychain giveaway.
If you read this article before, you may recall that I was having a bit of a lottery to hand things out. Change of plans! Create an account and add your address to your profile. That's it! A keychain will be on its way to your place ?.
Keep in mind that I only have about 100 of them, so you may not get one. Hopefully, by the time you read this article, I'll have already made a note indicating that I'm all out.
Also, be aware that The Renegade Coder is a solo operation and these are expensive for me to ship, so you may not get your keychain immediately. Feel free to email me if you've been waiting some time.
Don't worry if you're already subscribed! That said, you'll need to make sure your shipping information is available on your account. If you don't share that information, I can't possibly find you.
As you can see, each keychain features the angle brackets and the R and C of The Renegade Coder. All of which were hand painted by myself (go figure).
If you like their work, check out their website!
Hopefully, after this series of giveaways, I'll pick up a few of you as long term subscribers. If you're unsure about staying around, let me try to persuade you.
The Renegade Coder is a site I launched in April 2017 in reaction to some frustrations I had with a team I worked with on a previous site. A lot of what I learned from back then has allowed me to create what The Renegade Coder is today: an honest computer science curriculum site.
In case you're worried about my credentials, I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. In addition, I have a couple years of industry experience with General Electric. Today, however, I'm pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at The Ohio State University where I hope to eventually snag a University-level teaching position.
On top of all that, I currently teach an introductory Java course, and I maintain a handful of open-source projects. In other words, tech is what I do on a daily basis.
All the technical skills aside, I think you'll find that I put a major focus on empathy and compassion in this community. After all, our profession is still done by humans, and we can't do good work if we don't show compassion for one another.
If you think some of my other work should be in this list, let me know in the comments! I can always use the help.
At any rate, thanks for checking out The Renegade Coder! I appreciate it, and I hope you'll consider sticking around a little longer.

We are dedicated to produce cultural events .
Over 16 years of experience organizing art exhibits and music performances bringing local and international art together.
SolArt Gallery Café was founded in 2004 by Sali Heraldez following her lifelong dream to see her favorite things in life come together under one roof: art, music, and community. Since its inception, the gallery hosted the works of over 50 local artists and along with the sounds 500 local bands. The gallery's original location at 2202 N. Main St. and its exhibits were reviewed by all major local newspapers. Sunset Magazine described it as "an art gallery like no other." It distinguished itself from other galleries through its adamant support of grassroots community creativity and activism. It has hosted music festivals, conferences, creative writing workshops, poetry readings, theater workshops, and even a week-long art and activism camp.
The space was available for progressive causes that have ranged from organic farming, anti-militarization of public schools, and supporting indigenous communities in Southern Mexico.
The gallery moved to another location ( 511 Santa Ana Blvd.) in Santa Ana for a year and then closed to continue organizing artistic events thru different venues and organizations.
It was decided to create a podcast - SolArt Radio - and keep our goal which is to Promote Solidarity through ALL the Arts. SolArt believes that art and politics are not mutually exclusive and that they are most successful when they are brought together. We believe in the links between artists and community.
Many friends haved helped along the way. Some of them are: Adriana Alba, Lilia Lamas, Maricela Jauregui, Arturo Marmolejo, Olvein Lopez, Josefina Cortez and many more.
