Edwards, Essaibi-George Want Hospitals, Schools to Pay Their Fair Share in Pilot Program
by The Boston Sun Staff • August 11, 2018 • 0 Comments
The City Council Committee on Ways and Means held a hearing on Aug/ 2 regarding the Payment in Lieu of Tax (PILOT) program. Through this program, which is in its seventh year as of fiscal year 2018, schools, hospitals, and cultural institutions can voluntarily compensate the city through cash payments and community benefit programs instead of paying taxes.
Much of the hearing ended up being about universities like Northeastern, with many from the community testifying that they believe the Fenway-based college isn't paying its fair share.
The chair of the committee is Mark Ciommo, and the sponsors are Councilors Anissa Essaibi-George and Edwards. At the start of the hearing, Essaibi-George said that she appreciates the services that institutions, such as hospitals and universities, bring to the City of Boston.
Edwards said that this hearing was "about a good neighbor policy," and that she had several goals for the hearing, including that accurate and up-to-date information be looked at, as well as the discussion of ways that the city can be "bold, creative, and make sure these institutions are paying."
While Edwards recognized that this program is voluntary, she said that she wants to make sure that these institutions pay their fair share.
Right now, institutions are asked to pay the equivalent of 25 percent of their assessed property taxes and half of that is forgiven in a community benefit, so "in effectual institutions are asked really to pay 12.5 percent of the equivalent property tax payment," said Enid Eckstein of the PILOT Action Group.
Eckstein said, "We came together to advocate for improvements in the program," and said that they felt like evaluating the program was an important step.
"These institutions benefit from being part of the vital fabric of Boston, and they receive essential City services, so what is their responsibility to the city?" she asked.
The PILOT Action Group has generated a report that Eckstein said she believes shows how the PILOT program "falls short in several key areas." She said that there is uneven institutional participation – while more total cash funds are collected each year, increasingly fewer institutions are paying their full requested amount. She said that number has actually decreased each year. In fiscal year 2018, Eckstein said that only 26 percent of institutions met their full requested payment, and there is $77 million in unpaid payments.
"The heath care sector comes closest to meeting its obligations, whereas universities and cultural institutions lag behind," she said.
She said that she wants to "make very clear" that several of these institutions hold billions of dollars in endowments, have millions in surplus revenue, and paid more money in hedge fund management fees than they paid to the city for the PILOT program this year.
"So we really have a misalignment here in terms of our system and this is all public record," Eckstein said. "We have an obligation as the city to look at how we oversee a program that we rely on."
Meanwhile, Boston CFO Emme Handy praised the PILOT program, saying that it is "a very successful voluntary program," and that other cities have used it as a model. She said that $33.6 million was paid in Fiscal Year 2018 as voluntary money from participating institutions, and that 74 percent of the Fiscal Year 2018 request was met.
"Fiscal health of the City of Boston is one of our highest priorities," said Sam Tyler of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau. He said that in terms of revenue generation, the program has been "very successful," and that more diverse revenue sources have been advocated for.
Tyler said that the total PILOT payments have been below the City's request, partially because "the City's request was aggressive for the first five years."
However, he said that educational institutions have increased their payments by $5 million over the seven years, but it is still less than the City has asked for.
Handy said that she agrees that there is progress to be made, but "the nature of the voluntary program would mean that we cannot compel an institution to gift us something."
Right now, since the PILOT program is voluntary, institutions get to decide what their community benefits are.
Ciommo said that every college/university has to provide a 10-year master plan in which they go through a process with the community and once there is some agreement, the community benefits will come forth.
Councilor Ed Flynn asked what steps could be taken to encourage those not paying to contribute fairly to the city. Handy said that it is a great idea to build on community connections with institutions, and Tyler agreed that maintaining relationships with these institutions is "important."
Several members of the community testified also. A large portion of them were related to Northeastern University in some way. One student said the institution has paid just $5.5 million of the $18.7 million requested by the City since 2012.
Caitlin Gaffney, an educator at both the Maurice J. Tobin K-8 School in Mission Hill and at Northeastern University, testified about the juxtaposition of Northeastern's expansion into neighboring areas alongside the loss of resources at the Tobin School. She gave examples like "Northeastern's footprint in Roxbury has significantly enlarged, the Tobin School lost our library and librarian."
And "Northeastern expanded their global reach, Tobin School lost our school resource officer."
After four or five of these juxtapositions, Gaffney said, "Today I call upon the Boston City Council to hold Northeastern and all of the other institutions responsible for giving back their fair share to this great city that they have significantly benefitted from."
Another issue that came up is the affordable housing crisis, which many of the graduate students who testified attributed in part to the lack of university-provided housing.
Richard Giordano of the Fenway Community Development Corporation (CDC) said that "universities have done tremendous good things for this city, but they've also created tremendous problems."
He suggested that if universities are not going to construct dorms to the capacity that they would need, then they should begin to donate the land that "they've been land banking and in some cases pretty much exploiting or holding for other purposes" to non-profits and community development corporations that can build affordable housing.
He said this way, these buildings will come back on the tax roll since affordable housing is taxed.
Councilors Essaibi-George and Edwards closed out the hearing by saying that this is only the beginning of a discussion on this topic.
"This can't be a one-and-done style of hearing," Essaibi-George said. She said that she thinks it's important to recognize the role that these institutions play in the city, as well as the partnership that is important for the city to have, "especially as we as a city more and more rely on property tax revenue from residents and homeowners across the city."
Said Edwards, "There are no enemies at the table, just better standards that we can hold our institutions to. And I think I look forward to working with them to create those standards, and I know ultimately we will and we ultimately will not only continue to lead the nation, but really, really actually have a true success that all of us can benefit from."

Postman is a flexible contact form plugin for WordPress. It provides a framework for accessing, validating, and sending contact form data. The HTML output is entirely up to you; if you would like a simple template system, check out the [Postcard](http://github.com/castlegateit/cgit-wp-postcard) plugin.

## Postman ##

The `Cgit\Postman` class is used to create sets of form fields. Each instance represents a separate form. Since version 2.0, the constructor requires a single argument, which is used as a unique identifier for that form:

~~~ php
$postman = new \Cgit\Postman('foo');
~~~

### Properties ###

The default form method is `post`. You can set this to `get` to watch for `GET` requests instead:

~~~ php
$postman->method = 'get';
~~~

The default error message for each field is "Invalid input". You can set a different error message (each field can also have its own separate error message):

~~~ php
$postman->errorMessage = 'Bad value';
~~~

By default, the error message is returned as a string. If you supply a template that includes the string `%s`, this will be used to format all error messages using `sprintf()`:

~~~ php
$postman->errorTemplate = '%s';
~~~

You can use the `mailerSettings` property directly to change the email settings:

~~~ php
$postman->mailerSettings = [
    'to' => 'example@example.com',
    'from' => 'foo@bar.com',
    'subject' => 'Example message',
    'headers' => [
        'X-Foo' => 'Example header',
        'X-Bar' => 'Another example header',
    ],
];
~~~

However, the `mailer` and `header` methods are preferred for editing these settings.

### Methods ###

#### Mailer configuration

Add or edit mailer settings (i.e. `$to` and `$subject` parameters passed to `wp_mail` function):

~~~ php
$postman->mailer('to', 'example@example.com');
$postman->mailer('subject', 'Example message');
~~~

Note that you can prevent mail from being sent by setting `to` to `null`.

#### Headers

Add or edit email headers (i.e. `$headers` parameter passed to `wp_mail` function):

~~~ php
$postman->header('from', 'example@example.com');
$postman->header('x-foo', 'example@example.com');
~~~

#### Fields

Add a field, with various options:

~~~ php
$postman->field('example_name', [
    'label' => 'Example', // used in the email message
    'required' => true,
    'validate' => [
        'type' => 'email', // email, number, tel, url
        'maxlength' => 20,
        'minlength' => 4,
        'max' => 100, // maximum value for numeric fields
        'min' => 10, // minimum value for numeric fields
        'pattern' => '/foo/', // a regular expression match
        'match' => 'bar', // exactly matches another field called bar
        'function' => 'foo', // any callable
    ],
    'error' => 'Please enter a valid email address',
    'value' => 'The default field value',
    'exclude' => true, // exclude from email message body
]);
~~~

Custom validation is available for 'url', 'tel', 'number'. All other fields are treated as text inputs, though custom validation functions may be added. These take the form `function($value, $data)`, where `$value` is the submitted value and `$data` is the full form data. This allows for comparisons of multiple form field values.

You can specify separate error messages for different validation errors using an array instead of a string for the error parameter:

~~~ php
$postman->field('example_name', [
    'validate' => [
        'type' => 'email',
        'maxlength' => 10,
    ],
    'error' => [
        'required' => 'This is a required field',
        'type' => 'Please enter a valid email address',
        'maxlength' => 'Must have 10 characters or fewer',
    ],
]);
~~~

The `fields()` method can be used as a shortcut to add multiple fields at once, by passing in an array containing a mapping of `'name' => [ 'options' ]`:

~~~ php
$postman->fields([
    'name' => [
        'label' => 'Name',
        'required' => true
    ],
    'phone' => [
        'label' => 'Phone',
        'required' => true,
        'type' => 'tel'
    ],
    'email' => [
        'label' => 'Email',
        'required' => true,
        'type' => 'email'
    ]
]);
~~~

#### Values and error messages

Return data for the field `$name`:

~~~ php
$postman->value($name); // value
$postman->error($name); // error message, within error template
~~~

## Example ##

~~~ php
$form = new \Cgit\Postman('contact');

$form->method = 'post';
$form->errorMessage = 'That doesn\'t work';
$form->errorTemplate = '%s';

// Set mail recipient and subject
$form->mailer('to', 'example@example.com');
$form->mailer('subject', 'Test message');

// Set mail headers
$form->header('Reply-To', 'example@example.com');

// Define form fields
$form->field('fullname', [
    'label' => 'Name',
    'required' => true,
    'error' => 'Please enter your name',
]);

$form->field('email', [
    'label' => 'Email',
    'required' => true,
    'error' => 'Please enter a valid email address',
    'validate' => [
        'type' => 'email',
    ],
]);

// Enable ReCaptcha
$form->enableReCaptcha($site_key, $secret_key);

// Enable Akismet
$form->enableAkismet('contact-form', [
    'comment_author' => 'fullname',
    'comment_author_email' => 'email',
]);

// Check for form submission
$form->submit();

// Show form or success message
if ($form->sent()) {
    echo 'Your message has been sent. Thank you.';
} else {
    // Mailer has failed to send (e.g. email service problem)?
    if ($form->failed()) {
        echo 'Failed to send message.';
    }

    // Form has been submitted with errors?
    if ($form->errors()) {
        echo 'Your message contains errors.';

        // Submission has not passed Akismet's spam check?
        echo $form->error('akismet');
    }

    ?>

    <form action="" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" name="postman_form_id" value="contact">

        Name
        <input type="text" name="fullname" id="fullname"
            value="<?= $form->value('fullname') ?>" required>
        <?= $form->error('fullname') ?>

        Email
        <input type="email" name="email" id="email"
            value="<?= $form->value('email') ?>" required>
        <?= $form->error('email') ?>

        <?= $form->renderReCaptcha() ?>
        <?= $form->error('recaptcha') ?>

        <button type="submit">Send</button>
    </form>

    <?php
}
~~~

## Akismet

Postman can check form submissions for spam using the [Akismet](https://akismet.com/) service. For this to work, you must first install and activate the [WordPress Akismet plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/) with a valid license key.

When Akismet is active and registered, you can enable Akismet support using the `enableAkismet` method on the `Postman` form instance:

~~~ php
$form = new \Cgit\Postman('contact');

$form->fields([
    'fullname' => [],
    'email' => [],
    'subject' => [],
    'message' => [],
]);

$form->enableAkismet('contact-form', [
    'comment_author' => 'fullname',
    'comment_author_email' => 'email',
    'comment_content' => [
        'subject',
        'message',
    ],
]);
~~~

The first parameter is the type of form submission and must one of the following [Akismet comment types](https://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check):

*   `blog-post`
*   `comment`
*   `contact-form`
*   `forum-post`
*   `message`
*   `reply`
*   `signup`

The second parameter is an array that maps the Postman fields to the relevant [Akismet fields](https://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check). You can combine multiple Postman fields into one Akismet field by providing an array of Postman field names instead of a single field name. The following Akismet fields are supported:

*   `comment_author`
*   `comment_author_email`
*   `comment_author_url`
*   `comment_content`

Form submissions identified as spam will have an `akismet` validation error key:

~~~ php
if ($form->error('akismet')) {
    // submission is spam
}
~~~

You can [force a submission to be identified as spam](https://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check), and so test the Akismet integration, by submitting `viagra-test-123` as the `comment_author` or by submitting `akismet-guaranteed-spam@example.com` as the `comment_author_email`.

See the [Akismet developer documentation](https://akismet.com/development/api/) for more information.

## ReCaptcha ##

Postman can check for bot submissions using [ReCaptcha v2](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha). To enable this, use the `enableReCaptcha()` method:

~~~ php
$form->enableReCaptcha();
~~~

You can then output the ReCaptcha field and error message where you want them in your template:

~~~ php
echo $form->renderReCaptcha();
echo $form->error('recaptcha');
~~~

Note that ReCaptcha will **only** work if the ReCaptcha site and secret API keys have been set. You can set these when you enable ReCaptcha:

~~~ php
$form->enableReCaptcha('my-site-key', 'my-secret-key');
~~~

or using methods:

~~~ php
$form->setReCaptchaSiteKey('my-site-key');
$form->setReCaptchaSecretKey('my-secret-key');
~~~

or using constants:

~~~ php
define('RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY', 'my-site-key');
define('RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY', 'my-secret-key');
~~~

## Logs ##

The plugin will log all contact form submissions to the database. This feature can be disabled:

~~~ php
$form->disableLogs();
~~~

### Log file download

Postman will add an entry in the __Tools__ menu in WordPress that allows you to download the contact form logs in CSV format. You can change how this works using filters:

*   `cgit_postman_log_capability` edits the minimum user role that is required for log file downloads. The default is `edit_pages`, which means that administrators and editors can download log files.

*   `cgit_postman_log_groups` edits the way the logs are grouped. The default value is `['form_id']`, which means that logs are grouped by form ID.

*   `cgit_postman_log_aliases` provides alternative, human-readable names for form IDs. If you make it return an associative array with keys corresponding to form IDs, the values will be displayed in WordPress instead.

### Deleting logs

As of version **2.8.2** Postman will automatically truncate log files older than 180 days (an averaged 6 months). You can override this by looking at the contents below.
Do not activate a version of Postman later than **2.8.1** without defining the appropriate constant if you do not want this to happen!

You can also use the __Tools__ menu to delete old log files. If there are currently log entries in the database, you will be able to delete logs by number or date or to delete all logs. This process can be automated by setting one or more constants in `wp-config.php`:

~~~ php
define('CGIT_POSTMAN_LOG_LIMIT', 100); // keep the most recent 100 logs
define('CGIT_POSTMAN_LOG_LIMIT_DAYS', 30); // keep the most recent 30 days logs
define('CGIT_POSTMAN_LOG_DELETE_ALL', true); // delete all logs
~~~

If these constants are set, the deletion process will take place when a user accesses the Wordpress admin panel.

## Debugging ##

If `CGIT_POSTMAN_MAIL_DUMP` is defined, the mail class will return the contents of the email message instead of sending it. This might save you from accidentally emailing a client or filling up your inbox.

## Actions ##

*   `cgit_postman_{$form_id}_data_pre_validate` runs after form submission and before validation; parameter is an array of form data.
*   `cgit_postman_{$form_id}_data_post_validate` runs after form submission and validation; parameter is an array of form data.
*   `cgit_postman_{$form_id}_data` runs after validation and before send on valid data only; parameter is an array of form data.
*   `cgit_postman_{$form_id}_fields` runs after validation and before send on valid data only; parameter is an array of form field definitions.

## Filters ##

*   `cgit_postman_data_pre_validate` associative array of submitted form data, before validation.*
*   `cgit_postman_data_post_validate` associative array of submitted form data, after validation but before being sent.*
*   `cgit_postman_errors` associative array of errors after validation, with an array of data as the second parameter and the form ID as the third parameter.
*   `cgit_postman_data` associative array of submitted form data, validated and just prior to sending.*
*   `cgit_postman_fields` associative array of all field data, just prior to sending.*
*   `cgit_postman_value_{$name}` value of field `$name`.*
*   `cgit_postman_error_{$name}` error value of field `$name`.*
*   `cgit_postman_message_content` assembled email content.*
*   `cgit_postman_mail_to` mail class `to` address.
*   `cgit_postman_mail_subject` mail class subject.
*   `cgit_postman_mail_content` mail class content.
*   `cgit_postman_mail_from` mail class `from` address.
*   `cgit_postman_mail_cc` mail class `cc` address.
*   `cgit_postman_mail_bcc` mail class `bcc` address.
*   `cgit_postman_mail_headers` receives an associative array of headers.

For example, the `Reply-To` header could be edited as follows:

~~~ php
add_filter('cgit_postman_mail_headers', function($headers) {
    $headers['Reply-To'] = 'example@example.com';
    return $headers;
});
~~~

The filters marked with an asterisk accept the form ID as a second parameter so you can distinguish between different forms when filtering data. For example:

~~~ php
add_filter('cgit_postman_data', function ($data, $form_id) {
    if ($form_id != 'contact_form') {
        return $data;
    }

    // do something to data here

    return $data;
});
~~~

## Changes since version 2.0 ##

*   Forms now require a unique identifier, set in the constructor. This makes submission detection automatic and allows accurate logging.

*   Mailer settings have been moved from individual properties, such as `mailTo` to a single property called `mailerSettings` that consists of an array of mailer settings.

*   The `detect()` method has been removed. Form identification is now automatic, based on the unique form ID set in the constructor.

*   The new `exclude` field option prevents fields appearing in email messages or log downloads.

*   You can now download log files from the WordPress admin panel.

*   You can now change or replace the mailer and validator classes.

## Changes since version 3.0

*   ReCaptcha support has been completely rewritten and is no longer compatible with v2.x. Please review the documentation and adapt your code accordingly.

*   You can no longer replace the mailer, log spooler, and validation classes.

And the oven wafted & ummm.
Clouds of a warm blackberry crumble . .
Thank you to the darling, creative, and quite often hilarious Lettucehead of ECF for inspiring, naming and helping us create this wonderful flavor! Twas Brillig is a delicious Lettucehead creation that won the people's choice vote in our 'It's Your Juice' contest, alongside White Rabbit by Morri.
I absolutely love this! Definitely a nice, sweet and juicy blackberry here. Tastes really good when I add some cereal flavor to it (for more "bread" bc the blackberry is really brought out when you vape at 60+ watts). Thank you AIV and Jah for your outstanding service and making me happy with your help and this great flavor! Can't wait to try the rest!
Just received my order and i was concerned at first at the taste but after a good shake it develops into a wonderful light crumbe filled with sweet blackberry every puff is better then the last. I highly recommend this juice the flavor is amazing im definitely going to double my order .
I bought a 30ml bottle to just try this flavor and I'm so glad I did 15ml bottle wouldn't have lasted long enough Alice you and your mushroom lab have impressed me once more.
Was prepared to be disappointed by this juice because it smelled so good inside the bottle it seemed impossible to believe it could taste as delicious. I was so wrong and it tasted just as good as it smelled.
It's not the fruit that impressed me so much as the right balance between fruit and pastry taste.
The vape tastes great but smells even better. Alice, you should make this a perfume or an air freshener. My whole world would be happy if i smelt and tasted Twill Brillg all the time.
I just came back for a 30ml bottle and I realized I never updated my review. After leaving this alone for for a little over a week it was the only flavor I had left, so I picked it back up again. What a difference a week makes! The burnt flavor I previously mentioned was gone and this vape was so delicious it's now one of my favorites! If you don't like it at first, let it steep. This really is a great flavor and I can't wait to get my new bottle!
Dark fruit forward, a little sharp and tart. On the finish, the cream smooths things out for a very enjoyable and balanced vape. I think this may have just supplanted Creme de la Creme's Blueberry Creme Brulee out of my rotation.
I was so ready to love this, but that ended up not being the case. I do like it because it's a nice creamy black berry, but I kept getting a lot of burnt flavor. My atomizer was fine, not burnt at all. I'll give this some time and see if that helps. I'm not giving up on it. This stuff is pretty tasty when it doesn't taste burnt.
This is a amazing flavor, even if its very light and subtle flavor for me, I got this as a choice with my A Delectable Sampler. If its this good right out of the mail I really have to wonder just how good its going to be after sitting for a week or soo, I will definitely be ordering a bigger bottle so I can find out.
Awesome! Easily my top contender for favorite dessert vape of all time. The juice captures a sweet blackberry crumble with a creamy mouthfeel perfectly, I don't know how they do it. You really need to do yourself a favor and order this juice. Amazing customer service as always!
Alice in vapeland is awesome! I ordered the sampler and loved every bottle! Twas brillig was the best. Plan to order a different 60 ml flavor every Tuesday! Thank you Alice! Oh and their customer service is absolutely on point just like the flavors. I found my forever vape home.
Awe <3 Thank you Holly! We are so happy you are here in Vapeland with us dear heart!
TWAS BRILLIG opens the pleasure reservoir to all of my senses. The more i taste it the more i like it. I found myself surprised to find a subtile overtone of cake mixed underneath the blackberry flavor. It has become a big favorite of mine! I would like to express my deepest gratitude for this experience, but to also say your attention to the little details is a wonderful reflection of this world class Vape Laboratory! A big thanks goes out to them team of people whom are working with passion from their hearts!
Another fine example of Alice's talents.
This vape is a game changer—but then again AIV sets the bar really high in terms of flavor and service.
Twas Brillig tastes exactly like a Blackberry Crumble—from the fruit to the crust.
It's really remarkable. I got this in a sample and I will be reordering a 30ml when the portal opens next week!
I'm going to try and steep it a little longer than last time to see what else I get from it–but it was fab right out of the mail.
Picked up a bottle when I was in desperation working out in North Dakota. This shizz is low key bomb!
This is my new favorite, go to flavor. You can taste the blackberry filling and the toasted crumble- I may never need the real thing again.
After many years of Vaping ,8 years.. I have finally found a all day vape. I have a few others that I vape regularly, but Twas brilling has become a juice that I keep loaded in my Fogger RDTA, day in and day out. Amazing berry, crusty, creamy all in perfect harmony! Love this stuff!
Great flavors on this one. I got this juice as part of the Sampler and I can taste the blueberry and crumble flavors. But it does seem a bit overwhelming after a full day of vaping. I don't think I'd get this again.
Mmmm, this makes me feel like being wrapped up in a blanket on a cold night with a hot dessert. Vaped right out of the bottle, fiancé grabbed for my PV immediately lol. Smells as good as it tastes. Easily could be an all day vape, even though for me bakery flavors tend to feel perfect in the evening . Will steep for a week and give it another go just to experience it after the process, even though I want to vape it all up now.
This stuff is awesome! I just got it today, and went and got new atomizers for it. It is soooooo tasty! Well worth every penny. Definitely will be back for more!
I am not a big blackberry flavor fan but HOLE-EEE-COW is this good. Now granted its just from the small sample bottle and I only let it steep a few days before trying it but….wow. If you like bakery type flavors, definitely try this! Not to mention the attention to detail in the packaging it came in! Wow! Alice you blew my mind. *kapow*.
Whoa nelly! After falling so in love with April Moon, I was very curious about this one, it's been steeping about a week and I can finally taste the yummy blackberry and a hint of the creamy crumble. How in the world do you guys do this??? I am going to go broke! :) Happy…but broke. I forsee this on next week's order! You all just keep amazing me with these incredible flavors. I've thrown out money on so many other juices from sub par vendors, I'm so happy I found Alice! No other vendor shall ever turn my head!
I am pretty new to vaping and had a friend tell me about this site and how good the e-juices were, so I decided to try a sampler. This one was one of the many I tried and it is SO GOOD! I just came back to buy a bigger bottle. It has the perfect balance of sweet and creamy flavors. Every person that I let try it didn't want to put it down.
The packaging they arrived in were so awesome too! All sorts of cute, little extras, and both orders I have received came with an extra sample juice :]! I will definitely be a repeat customer, especially for this flavor.
The reviews are exact. This is a beautiful and delicious experience. Thanks Alice!
Noob vaper here, and like most, I've gone quite mad ordering samples of ejuices of various (sometimes nefarious!) sources, and stumbled down Alice's rabbit hole….
I've not of yet discovered a nectar that comes close to the richness of flavor I've experienced with Twas Brilling! Blackberry bounty-licious so exceptional, full bodied and succulent, Alice takes vaping to a whole new level. I can't wait to try my other samples – thank you, Alice, no more flirting with strange extracts for me. I'm home now.
My husband and I fell in love with this juice, it's simply amazing. ..
Twas brilling is definitely every thing it's billed as and more. While some juices are definitely love at first vape, this is a kiss shared on your 50th anniversary.
Nothing compares to this, blackberry, creamy, crumbly juice. Twas Brillig is gorgeous and has been my all day vape for about four months now. I'm infatuated.
Idk why to sy and I thought lemon loves cake was amazing! Its so delicious and delicate thy its he'd for me to choose between the two!
Wow! Just got this yesterday in sample pack. All gone. Great blackberry flavor and cream right out of the mail. If the other flavors in the sample pack are as good as this one…I will marry Alice. No questions asked.
WOW! This is the first flavor I've tried out of my LBE sampler and the rest of them have a hard act to follow! I will be ordering a large size next time! Great job!!

Slipped over in a Shopping Centre? Read about the most recent law.
LHD Lawyers has been involved in one of the leading cases in public liability law. The matter of Strong v Woolworths is presently before the High Court to determine the law relating to circumstances where someone slips over in a public place such as a shopping centre.
In 2004 Mrs Strong was an amputee who was walking through the Centro Shopping Centre at Taree with the use of crutches. She walked through a corridor created by BIG W (owned by Woolworths) which contained plants on it. Being a keen gardener, this took her interest. Sadly, she suffered injury when one of her crutches landed on a chip which had not been cleaned up and she fell sustaining significant injuries. LHD brought a case for her in the District Court which found that Woolworths, did not have a cleaning system for that area and found them liable to pay damages.
Woolworths appealed to the Court of Appeal, which is the highest Court in New South Wales, who determined that because Mrs Strong could not prove how long the chip had been on the floor she could not prove that Woolworths had done anything wrong. The Court also said it was not enough that Mrs Strong had proven that Woolworths did not have a cleaning system in place. To read the decision of the court of appeal see: http://www8.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/nsw/NSWCA/2010/282.html
LHD appealed to the High Court, the highest Court in the Country, in August 2011. LHD alleged that although no one knew how long the chip had been on the floor, the Court could infer that the chip was not cleaned up in what should have been the last rotation for the cleaning of the area.
Presently the Court has not decided the case and we are awaiting the decision.
It will have a serious outcome on whether injured people will be able to prove a case in the future.
Mrs Strong was interviewed on Today Tonight regarding her injuries.

Food hubs and farm-to-school programs are essential mechanisms in increasing access to food produced locally and sustainably. In Vermont, an effort is underway to combine the power of both.
The publication was released in March 2015, and now, more than nine months later, VAAFM local foods administrator Abbey Willard is pleased with its impact.
Willard has seen how the document has educated people about the work of food hubs and the farm-to-school effort, in addition to helping facilitate new partnerships.
The publication comprises four food hub case studies—each a different variety of hub. They include: Addison County Relocalization Network, which provides an example of using matchmakers to connect buyers and producers; Green Mountain Farm-to-School, which shows how to boost food sales by localizing distribution and aggregation; Mad River Localvores/Mad River Food Hub, which has developed local products specifically for schools; and Rutland Area Farm and Food Link, which encourages community involvement to bolster farm-to-school relationships.
To be included as a case study, each participating food hub worked together for 18 months, sharing their knowledge and building relationships.
A key finding showed that over the course of a year, local food purchases increased 58 percent overall (62 percent per capita) at schools actively working with their local food hub.
This increase positively impacted the participating hubs. For example, Willard says Green Mountain Farm-to-School had 87 customers and $230,000 in sales during the fiscal year 2013. But after joining the study and increasing its relationships with schools, the food hub's roster of customers shot up to 96 and its sales grew to $350,000 for the fiscal year 2014.
It's all about economics, she says.
More and more, food hubs and schools are becoming vital links in that chain. At the same time, food hubs and schools (as well as other types of institutions) are engaged in mutually beneficial relationships. This has led to a surge in the number of food hubs in the state.
Even though 94 percent of Vermont schools purchase local foods and half of the schools in the states boast a farm-to-school program, Willard feels there is still much progress to be made in this area.
The guide also offers practical counsel on contracts, food ordering systems, production planning, and food safety.
Additionally, Willard emphasizes the educational importance of farm-to-school efforts, which not only feed students' stomachs but their minds. In what she refers to as "agricultural literacy," learning opportunities include discussion of different food promotion programs, gaining knowledge about tomatoes by going to a farm to make salsa, and talking about barriers to procuring local food.
According to Willard, the publication not only provides an in-depth resource for food hubs and schools looking to work together, but it also helped build strong working relationships between the four participating hubs and the 58 schools they collaborated with during the project.

M. Night Shyamalan Hosts Gala Honoring Sharon Pinkenson for 20 Years of Vision, Commitment & Accomplishments
March 13, 2012 by HughE Dillon 1 Comment
On Saturday, March 10th, the Greater Philadelphia Film Office (GPFO) Board of Directors and Board of Advisors hosted a star-studded fundraising gala for the regional non-profit organization, at the home of M. Night and Dr. Bhavna Shyamalan. The event marked the first in a year of planned activities recognizing Sharon Pinkenson's 20th Anniversary as Executive Director and regional film commissioner. Guests included Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and First Lady Susan Corbett, cast members from Shyamalan's latest local production After Earth, including the star of the film and co-producer Will Smith and his co-star, Jaden Smith. Other celebrity and VIP guests included Kim Delaney, Rebecca Creskoff and stars of the NBC/ Universal TV pilot, Do No Harm, Phylicia Rashad, Alana De La Garza and Mousa Kraish. Other elected officials in attendance included State Senator Vincent Hughes and State Senator Daylin Leach, former Congresswoman Margie Margolis and many longtime supporters of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office as well as special guests of Ms. Pinkenson and her family. During the formal presentation, Governor Tom Corbett delivered remarks and reaffirmed his support of the Commonwealth's booming film industry, stating
"With our commitment to job creation, the Film Tax Credit Program is a vital economic development tool which not only fosters a solid relationship with the industry, but provides the commonwealth with thousands of family sustaining jobs." The pièce de résistance was the presentation of Sharon's gift by City Representative Melanie Johnson. First, an official Tribute Letter on behalf of the Mayor, and then a very special minted movie poster from the original production of Philadelphia, as well as an AFI certificate proclaiming the film as one of America's Most Inspiring Movies, both inscribed with a personal and touching message to Sharon from Academy Award winner, Tom Hanks. (The Best and the Brightest Wrap Press Conference with Neil Patrick Harris and Bonnie Somerville with Amy Sederis)
"I have the best job in the whole world, just like everyone thinks I do because I work in the best business in the world. It never gets old. I continue to grow and learn and remain passionate about the work we do to help create jobs for other creative professionals, who are just as passionate about what they do! I am so humbled by the recognition and the wonderful friends who continue to support me and my beloved Greater Philadelphia Film Office," stated an emotional Pinkenson. The brotherly love didn't end there either. As a thank you for hosting the gala and supporting the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, Sharon and new GPFO partner Montblanc fittingly co-presented M. Night Shyamalan—a collector of unique memorabilia—with an Alfred Hitchcock Limited Edition Fountain Pen.

Flood insurance rates up: Tips to keep you afloat
By Sarah Kleiner
Flood waters come up out of the Hague during a nor'easter on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013. (Steve Earley)
Perhaps you've shrugged off your flood insurance bill as one more hit to your pocketbook that you just have to live with.
Doing so could cost you thousands.
New laws that took effect last month require homeowners to pay National Flood Insurance Program premiums that reflect their actual risk of damage.
If you are required to have flood insurance and you live in a home that was built before the mid-1970s, there's a chance you've been benefiting from a subsidized rate.
Thanks to costly storms like Sandy, which pounded the Eastern Seaboard about a year ago, those subsidies are going away. New premiums could be hundreds or thousands more per year.
But don't panic.
Several experts have offered ways to cut your rate – whether you're losing your subsidy or whether you've been paying higher rates all along.
Rates aren't set by insurance agents, so hopping around won't help, said Terry Croft, operations manager for The Braun Agency, an insurance company in Virginia Beach.
Rather, they're determined by actuaries – in this case, uber-mathematicians at the Federal Emergency Management Agency – who compute the probability of, say, a massive flood and how much damage it would do.
Among other things, actuaries take into consideration the elevation of your house, how it was built, how big it is, whether you have a basement and where you live in the flood plain, according to FEMA.
Because of the change in federal law, all homeowners who are required to pay flood insurance now have to get an elevation certificate, which documents where your house is in relation to sea level. Houses in the riskiest zones were already required to have one.
Each community has a base flood elevation, which is the level that water is predicted to rise to during a 100-year flood, which basically is the worst expected within a century. The elevation of your home compared with the base flood elevation is a major factor in determining how big your insurance bill is.
"If you are a foot or two above base flood elevation, you start saving lots of money," said David Sonner, mid-Atlantic sales manager for SmartVent, a Pitman, N.J.-based company that installs vents in Hampton Roads. "But if you are a foot or two below, well, it's like having a dozen DUIs on your record and you're trying to keep driving."
But there are ways to find savings.
Some are simple (and relatively inexpensive). Some are complex (and costly).
There's no easy way to predict how much savings you could expect to see by taking some of the steps outlined below, because insurance rates are so individual. But taking some of them could mean the difference between paying $3,000 a year and $500.
Before you commit to any of the projects, talk with your insurance agent. The last thing you want to do is make an investment that doesn't lead to a discount – or lower your risk of flood damage.
After all, you are paying to protect your home.
1. Adjust your contents coverage or raise your deductible
How much it costs: Free
The part of your flood insurance premium that's dedicated to building coverage can't easily be adjusted.
That's because an actuary has studied everything about your house and crammed a bunch of numbers into a formula. The number that's spit out is what you need to pay to cover your risk. There's not much you can do about that.
But you can lower your rate by reducing your contents coverage and increasing your deductible – assuming you've not already made those changes. Deductibles are available in $1,000 increments up to $5,000.
Remember: Lowering your contents coverage means you'll get less of a payout to replace whatever's damaged inside your home if a flood strikes. And boosting your deductible means you'll be on the hook for more money if you have to file a claim.
Scott Hunter, founder of Virginia Beach-based Comparity, which compares insurance rates for clients, cautions against taking these steps too far.
"Do not underinsure your contents just to save money," he said. "Most people undervalue their actual costs to replace possessions."
Don't forget that appliances and furniture are part of the contents coverage.
2. Retrofit with flood vents
How much it costs: Around $1,500 to $5,000
If you have a crawl space under your house, pay attention. If you have a slab foundation or a basement, hang your head.
Engineered vents that allow floodwaters to flow freely under your house can save thousands of dollars on premiums. Without them, water can put enough pressure on your foundation to make it collapse.
The vents cost around $200 apiece, and it costs around $150 each to install, Sonner said. The number of vents you need depends on the size of your house.
Sonner said five of his company's vents can cover 1,000 square feet of crawl space.
"If it costs you $2,500 to put the vents in, and you were at a $3,000 flood policy, and we've lowered you to $500, you've made up for that in your first year," said Hunter, who compares insurance rates across companies.
The vents protect houses, but you get a discount only with crawl spaces that are considered "at grade," which is the same level as the ground around it. That can mean the difference between a typical installation and you having to hire someone to shove dirt under your house.
Generally, if your crawl space doesn't have flood vents, the elevation of your house is measured from the bottom of the crawl space. If it is vented, the elevation of your first floor is used.
So let's say your crawl space is at an elevation of 7 feet and your first floor is at 9 feet. The base flood elevation (the level of water expected in your area if a 100-year flood strikes) is 8 feet.
Without a properly vented crawl space, your house's elevation is 7 feet, and you do not comply with federal standards. Because base flood elevation is 8 feet, you pay a higher rate.
If you install vents, your elevation is now 9 feet based on the level of the first floor, so you're a foot above the 8-foot cutoff. Your rate will be significantly lower, Hunter said.
One caveat: Attached garages count too. They need to be vented if you want to reduce your risk and your rate.
3. Elevate the expensive stuff
How much it costs: Around $6,000 for relocation of HVAC, plumbing and electric meter
Take a look around your house and pay attention to your utilities.
Is your house's air conditioning unit on the ground? Is your heating system in the basement? Where are the water lines?
Consider boosting up anything with a hefty price tag so that it's above base flood elevation.
Also, in a two-story home, Croft said, "I'm going to take my valuable things and move them upstairs and take a lower amount for contents coverage – realizing that if your building blows away because of flooding, it doesn't matter if it's on the first floor or second floor."
4. Fill in your basement or "sub-grade crawl space."
How much it costs: $3 to $4 per cubic foot for the dirt, not including labor
Throw out your definition of a basement for a minute.
To keep things simple, this step applies to any space under a house – whether 2 inches or 8 feet – that is deeper than the ground around it.
Holes under your house aren't a perk when floodwaters rush in.
Why bother filling them in?
First, the only way to get the flood-vent discount on your premium is by creating a crawl space that's level with the ground around it.
"You can put all the flood vents in you want, and it won't save you a penny on flood insurance" if your basement or "sub-grade crawl space" isn't filled, Sonner said. "Sub-grade" means below ground level.
Even better, your house's elevation could shoot up several feet by filling in, which means you'll pay a lower rate. The elevation of most homes is measured from their lowest point.
It's pricey, but it can save a lot.
The dirt alone costs $3,000 to $4,000 to fill in 1,000 cubic feet of basement, Sonner said. Some homeowners have hired concrete companies to pump wet sand under their houses.
In New Jersey, Sonner recently inspected a beachfront house with a four-foot basement that contained the home's heating system. He estimated it would cost $20,000 a year to insure without any changes.
5. Lift your house.
How much it costs: $130,000 (median price)
This is the big kahuna – but it might not cost as much as you'd expect.
If your house is below base flood elevation (which your newly acquired elevation certificate will tell you), one way to emerge relatively unscathed after a flood is to boost up your entire house.
The federal government doles out grants every year to lift houses in flood zones, as long as the cost is less than $175,000, said Jim Redick, director of Norfolk's Emergency Preparedness and Response division.
Depending on your situation, you could qualify to get the government to pay for the entire project, Redick said. Otherwise, the grants usually cover more than half the cost.
Norfolk already has elevated about 30 homes, and more than a dozen others are either in the process of being lifted or have been awarded grants, Redick said.
Virginia Beach is participating in the grant program for the first time, said Erin Sutton, emergency planner for the city. Eight properties in neighborhoods off Great Neck Road are in the process of being lifted, and the city has applied for another grant for eight more.
It's a complicated process, said Greg Yasika, project manager and general superintendent of Suffolk-based contractor CPG Inc., a contractor that is lifting some of Norfolk's homes.
Residents have to move out for two months while the work is done, and some of the utilities are cut off.
Their belongings can be left in place. If you happened to be in the house during the process, you wouldn't notice the movement unless you looked out the window, Yasika said.
The higher you go, the more expensive it is because more materials are needed for the foundation, and it costs more to build walks up to doors and to relocate utilities.
Yasika said he once raised a house 22 feet in the air and left it there for 30 days while he built two new stories underneath it.
6. Move!
How much it costs: The ball's in your court.
It's the only sure-fire way to drop your rate by 100 percent.
If you move out of a risky flood zone, you won't be required to carry flood insurance.
You can elect to buy coverage, but it will cost much less than it would if you were inside the area.
Building a house?
First find out which flood zone you're in. Then talk to your insurer about what that might mean for your pocketbook.
Make sure your builder is giving you enough of a cushion over base flood elevation. The higher, the better.
The city of Norfolk says homeowners can save $1,000 a year on flood insurance if the house is built 3 feet above base flood elevation.
Get an elevation certificate
Federal law now requires homeowners in flood zones to have an elevation certificate so their insurance rates can be set based on the house's actual risk.
These documents certify how far above or below sea level your house is, based on measurements taken by surveyors. They cost about $400 on average.
Your elevation is held up against the area's base flood elevation, which is the level that water would reach in a 100-year flood.
Let's say you've been paying $800 a year for flood insurance. Once you get an elevation certificate, you might find that your house is above base flood elevation, and you've been paying too much based on your risk.
On the flip side, elevation certificates might show that a house is below the base flood cutoff, and you should have been paying more.
You don't have to get an elevation certificate immediately, but your rates will keep increasing, even if you should be paying less.
So why bother getting one now when it could work against you?
If the certificate shows you have been paying too much, your rate will drop immediately. If it shows you haven't been paying enough to cover the risk you face, your rates will go up, but the increases will be phased in over a number of years.
You're going to need one eventually.

Q: Markdown in Meteor not rendering properly Given the following:
"This is the example of one paragraph.
And this is another paragraph."
If I render it in my template like this:

    {{#markdown}}
      {{body}}
    {{/markdown}}

I get the output like this

This is the example of one paragraph.

And this is another paragraph.

I tried this with marked and showdown.
The only way to get rid of the pre/code is to do this:

{{#markdown}}
{{body}}
{{/markdown}}

Which is weird. How do I make the whitespace ignored for the markdown block?

A: You are kind of contradicting yourself: whitespace has a meaning in markdown and you'd clearly like the whitespace in your body template to be interpreted correctly, so you can't ignore it.
Perhaps you like this formatting better, which should work as well. But all in all it's just an issue of pretty code formatting.

  {{#markdown}}{{body}}{{/markdown}}

Zdeněk Bakala (born 7 February 1961) is a Czech entrepreneur and investor. He is a stakeholder in mining, energy, financial businesses and owns the media company Economia, the publisher of Hospodářské noviny and Respekt magazine among others. As of 2017, Bakala is the tenth wealthiest person in the Czech Republic according to Forbes. His philanthropic activities are directed via the Bakala Foundation.

In September 2018, Bakala found a lawsuit in federal court in Beaufort, South Carolina in which he claims that a controversional Slovak businessman Pavol Krúpa has initiated frivolous lawsuits, promoted death threats on Facebook and instigated criminal investigations targeting him. The lawsuit also says that Krupa threatened to send soccer hooligans to protest in front of Bakala's home in Switzerland and ultimately demanded a payment of 500 million Czech koruna (US$23 million) in 2017, as a compensation for losses suffered by buying Bakala's New World Resources stock, to stop. According to the complaint, when Bakala rejected that offer, Krupa hired Beverly Hills, California-based Crowds on Demand "to bring his campaign of defamation, extortion, and harassment to the U.S."

Firstly I am aware that some people do not agree with the PAC and it is basically been phased out anyway but in my understanding this year 2014/2015 anybody with < £9300 income was entitled to £500 I asked the tax about this and they replied with There have been recent changes to the qualifying conditions for PAC's as announced by the Treasury Minister in his budget speech on 17th February 2015. The amount of the PAC was reduced to £400 for a single person and the new qualifying conditions are: • You must be at least 65 years of age at the beginning of the tax year (being 6th April 2014) • Or to have been eligible for either blind person's allowance or the disabled person's allowance since 6th April 2014 If you do not fall under either of these categories then you will not be eligible for the Personal Allowance Credit. If you feel you should be entitled to more benefits, then please contact General Benefits at Markwell House. So I had a look at the speech which says this The PAC was frozen last year at £500 for those with taxable income of £9,300 or less. For 2015/16 the PAC will be reduced to £400 and will only be paid to the elderly and disabled with taxable income of £9,500 or less. My ultimate aim remains that this will be one of the benefits eventually replaced in a new benefits system. All benefits need to be paid via the benefits system to ensure that we are making payments to those who really need the support. I will ask the Assessor of Income Tax to work with the Director of Social Security to put this in place for 2016/17 so that 2015/16 can be the last year of the PAC. For people who previously benefited from the PAC the Income Tax Division will endeavour to ensure that they claim any benefits to which they are entitled. I again queried them and their response is Although you have just completed and submitted the 2014/15 income tax return form, payments for Personal Allowance Credits are made after 06 April 2015 and therefore the new rules apply. I am missing something here, surely the statement says the new rules apply to the 20156/2016 text year and PAC payment due now should be based on last year? Can anybody advise please.
Been using this for over a week now, nice OS. Navigation is intuitive and HW support seems better than 8.1 64 bit. I have an older Dell Inspiron 1721 and 8.1 64 bit wireless drivers didn't work correctly (Limited Access Errors) but they seem to have fixed that with this technical preview, despite it using the same old atheros driver? Really cant complain about anything with this OS, it does ask for occasional feedback about "Do you prefer the new setting menu or the original control panel". At least MS are making a proactive effort to gather consumer feedback, this should hopefully translate to a more user friendly OS in the future. And for the paranoid among us, remember it is evaluation software so expect it to send usage information, if your dealing with sensitive data then obviously use a secure OS and encryption as standard.
Is this still available? Do you know if it will support 64bit virtual servers?

I'll receive as my reward.

Thus the Holy City gain.
This song always usher me into the sweet foretaste of the reality of the New Jerusalem which is the full mingling of God with man an a mutual dwelling place for eternity.
The 'New Jerusalem is a sign, a symbol signifying the glorious fulfilment of God's eternal purpose according to the desire of His heart to have a corporate expression of Himself in Christ as the Firstborn Son and the many believers in Christ as the many sons. The New Jerusalem is not a physical city as is often construed. The New Jerusalem is one of the two greatest signs in the Bible (Rev. 21:2).
It was for this God created us, redeemed us, regenerated us and is transforming us, conforming us to the glorious image of His son. By being one spirit with the Lord, loving Him intensely above all else. we will receive the revelation, vision and experience of the New Jerusalem as a foretaste in this age. May we keep dreaming of the New Jerusalem until we are ushered into the reality. This song always ushers me into the foretaste of the divine reality. Hallelujah for the New Jerusalem.
New Jerusalem! New Jerusalem! Looking to the Lord and opening up to Him to allow Him to shine on, in, and through me... This age is coming to a consummation and how I need to be delivered from every earthly entanglement. We see in Colossians how Christ is the reality of all positive things in the universe (Col. 1:-3:11). He is our real rest, food, drink, covering, life... We must pursue to know Christ by experiencing Him in a full way day by day.
May we not be defrauded into thinking that salvation is the goal. Even the church-life is not the goal... but the means to reach the goal. Praise the Lord for the New Jerusalem - a composition of all God's chosen, redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified people built up for His "satisfaction in love" and "utmost rest" for all eternity for His expression! What a blessing, what a privilege to be a part of it! Praise the Lord!!! We have a glorious eternal future! Dear Lord Jesus, how I repent for allowing anything to come in to occupy my heart, even "good" things. Thank Your Lord Jesus!!! You are everything to me!!! We love You Lord!!!

Performance on the Halstead-ReitanNeuropsychological Test Battery (HRB) was analyzed for 33 ind viduals, aged 20 to 69, who had been subjected to violent aceeleration forces in motor vehicle accidents . Age was considered as a continuous variable and correlated with single and compos ite HRB measures. With the one exception of the Left Neuropsychological Deficit Scale (NDS) score, agere lated de cline was consistently demonstrated by com positeHRB scores (i.e., Gen eralNDS, Right NDS, Level of Performance NDS, Pathognomonic SignNDS, Pattern NDS, Right-Left Differ enceNDS, and Halstead Impairment Index). In contrast, most single non-composite HRB measures did not refleet a substantive relation ship between age andperformance. Single-score exceptions were the Total Time, Memory and Local ization measures of the Tactual Perfor mance Test (TPT), Category Test scores, and left auditory suppression. Most significant correlations represented linear relationships, but non-lin earrelation ships with age were found for the Total and Localization scores of the TPT. In general, composite measures rather than single scores of the HRB appear to be sensitive to the effects of age invietims of nonimpact aceeleration forces.

CNN: Biden's Economic Ratings Worse Than Jimmy Carter's

CNN: Biden's Economic Ratings Worse Than Jimmy Carter's President Joe Biden (Patrick Semansky/AP)
By Jeremy Frankel | Tuesday, 21 December 2021 10:27 PM
A CNN poll found President Joe Biden's economic approval ratings are worse than former President Jimmy Carter's.
"Carter's economic net approval rating of -8 points in an early January 1978 CBS News/New York Times poll was the lowest around this point in a presidency before Biden's -13 points," CNN reported. "The economy, and particularly inflation, was listed as the nation's top problem in a late October 1977 Gallup poll."
Usually, presidents have a +5 approval rating on the economy at this point during their first year in office, according to CNN. However, "inflation, in particular, seems to be a big issue for Biden. Just 28% of Americans approved of the job he is doing to handle inflation in a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll. This comes as more voters said they were concerned about inflation than any other issue in a December Fox News poll, and only 22% said the Biden's administration efforts to get inflation and rising prices under control were helping. The plurality (47%) said they were hurting."
This development comes as more Americans are disapproving of Biden's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic than at any point in the first year of his presidency. According to the Daily Wire, the number of Americans who believe Biden is doing a "bad job" in handling COVID-19 doubled from 23% in his first month of his presidency to 46% as of November.

A compendium of information, resources and discussion on notable nineteenth century American murders.
Married at 15, Dead at 20.
James Tout, a wealthy businessman of Byron Center New York, died before the birth of his daughter Florence, but before he departed this world, he set up a sizable trust fund for the new baby. The inheritance, which would be hers when she married, was managed by a banker, and by the time she was in her teens had grown to a small fortune.
When Florence was 15 years old, she received the attentions of Howard Benham, an ambitious young man of 23 who worked as a travel agent, booking trips to the Chicago World's Fair on the installment plan. For many reasons, Florence's mother and stepfather did not approve of the courtship but were fearful that their opposition might drive Florence to run away with Benham. On the night of August 3, 1892, she told them to have no fear; she had no intention of running away. The following day, she said she was going to Batavia to consult a dentist, but instead, she traveled through to Rochester, where she met with Benham. The two were married in the private office of Justice White.

Liquor and Jealousy.
In October 1893, 64-year-old Patrick Finney of New Bedford, Pennsylvania, was visiting his old friend and drinking buddy James Campbell in Hazelton, Ohio. Campbell had been a saloonkeeper in Pittsburgh before retiring and moving with his wife to Hazelton, a suburb of Youngstown.
As was their custom, Finney and the Campbells were drinking heavily the night of October 9. James Campbell had a reputation as a man of ungovernable temper when intoxicated and this night was no exception. Around 10:00, when it became clear that Campbell had exceeded his limit, a neighbor who had been drinking with them helped Campbell to bed. Finney and Mrs. Campbell stayed up and continued talking.
Around twenty minutes after going to bed, Campbell came back downstairs. Still drunk and angry, Campbell was holding a 22-caliber revolver.
"I'll fix you," he said, then fired three shots. One went through his wife's chest, killing her instantly and the other two hit Finney in the head and abdomen.
The police arrived quickly, arresting Campbell and rushing Finney to the hospital. Campbell told the police he had shot his wife and friend because he had caught them in a compromising position, but once he was locked in a cell he said, "I don't know what made me do it." The newspapers concluded that liquor and unfounded jealousy were the cause.
In January 1894, James Campbell was indicted for the murder of his wife and attempted murder of Patrick Finney. He announced his intention to plead insanity but being "crazy drunk" has never been a good defense. The following March, Campbell was found guilty of second-degree murder.

A Troubling Spirit.
John Delaney met Mary Jane Cox in October 1886; she smiled at him as they passed each other on Fulton Street in Brooklyn, and he turned to follow her. She was 17-years-old, he was 15. Mary Jane did not refuse his advances outright, but gave him her address and told him to write to her. Their relationship progressed quickly, and eight months later, Mary Jane told John she was pregnant, and he had to do something about it.
John said he had already told her he would marry her, but Mary Jane rejected this saying they were both too young; he would have to find something else. On June 2, 1887, he gave her a glass bottle containing a clear liquid. What he told her at the time is uncertain, but the next morning Mary Jane was found dead in the kitchen of the house where she worked as a domestic servant. An autopsy showed that her death was caused by some irritant poison like arsenic, and the bottle found in a pocket of her dress was half-filled with a solution of arsenic.

The Poughkeepsie Tragedy.
Antone Werner came to America from Austria in 1885 and settled in Poughkeepsie, New York. There he worked as a shoemaker along with his good friend and fellow immigrant Joseph Fischer. He and Fischer had probably known each other in Austria.
Werner adapted well to life in Poughkeepsie and had even met and married a young woman there—the only problem was that he already had a wife in Austria. In 1887, Werner's Austrian wife came to America, and he left his second wife and went to live with his first wife in Brooklyn. Before long he decided he liked his second wife better and returned to Poughkeepsie to live with her. His first wife sought assistance from Joseph Fischer and together they had Werner arrested for bigamy.
The Grand Jury failed to indict Werner, and after his release from jail he threatened to kill Fischer. He went back to his second wife, but without any income, she was forced to sell furniture for money. Werner asked her for some cash, and she gave him $2; he went to a gun shop and bought a British bulldog pistol. Stopping at a lager beer saloon he drank a glass of beer and smoked a cigar then walked to the shop where Fischer worked. No one was in the shop but Fischer; Werner waked in and approached him, raising the pistol he shot Fischer once in the chest killing him almost instantly. Werner was immediately arrested and taken to jail.
At his trial, the following March, Antone Werner was found guilty, but after a day of deliberation, the jury could not agree on whether the degree was first or second. The judge angrily sent them back to decide, but after an additional forty minutes they were still deadlocked, and they were discharged. Later that day, rather than face another trial, the District Attorney accepted Werner's plea of murder in the second degree. Werner was sentenced to life in the state penitentiary at Sing Sing.
