2022 Government Entry-level Jobs in Tahoe, CA
You may have heard that entry-level jobs in government related positions have fantastic benefits. While this is often the case, it's also important for you to understand that jobs in government related fields vary widely from one job to the next. There are many, many different types of positions available, and it is rare for two positions to look exactly the same. You should know, however, that for any government job, you will need to have a squeaky clean background, a sound mind, and a drive that will help you to beat out the competition. If you've got all that, then you're ready to start looking and applying for positions. To show you just how vast and broad the field is, consider that all of these positions are government positions: police officer, FBI agent, IRS agent, postal worker, transportation security administration worker, foreign service officer, and more. So, don't automatically assume that all government employees are mayors or congressmen. There are opportunities for people from all educational and work backgrounds, and all walks of life. The trick is simply to discover your unique skills and interests and to use them to find the perfect position for you. And, if you are looking for high-paying government entry-level jobs that come with plenty of benefits (aren't we all?), there are certainly a few positions to consider. As a criminal investigator, for example, you could easily earn around $88,174 per year. Or, if you'd like to become an economist, you could take home a nice $94,098 per year. Engineers, financial managers, attorneys, and astronomers also tend to do quite nicely as well, but, in the end, you should choose a job based on what you want to do, not on how much it pays.

Efforts to counter driver's license revocations make progress
Last August, 18-year old Tae-Ahn Lea was pulled over in his mother's car while driving to get a slushie. The reason for the stop was trivial—an officer alleged he had made a "wide turn." Yet what followed was 25 minutes of humiliation, with officers treating Lea like a criminal. The officer pulled Lea out of the car, made him stand spread-eagle against it, and patted him down. When Lea refused to consent to a search of the car, the officer said a police dog had smelled marijuana, then handcuffed Lea. Officers found nothing in the car. [Andrew Wolfson / Courier-Journal]
Andrew Wolfson of the Courier-Journal in Louisville described how Lea, the high school homecoming king who had just graduated with multiple scholarships, "was forced to stand on the street, embarrassed, as traffic drove by, with the cuffs chafing his wrists, as one officer asked him, "Why do you have this negative view towards the police?" When Lea's mother, who had been on the phone with him throughout the stop, eventually arrived at the scene, an officer threatened her with arrest if she approached the car. [Andrew Wolfson / Courier-Journal]
In the months since Lea was pulled out of his car, nearly a million people have viewed a video of the stop on YouTube. The video captures the encounter in full and has generated widespread condemnation of the police actions.
It was less than a month after Tae-Ahn Lea was pulled over that police made another stop that highlighted the use of pretextual traffic stops and humiliating policing tactics in West Louisville. In September, police stopped the Reverend Kevin Cosby and his wife as they were driving home from dinner on a Saturday night. Cosby, a pastor and the president of Simmons College of Kentucky, described how the officer treated them as criminals from the outset, asking, "What are y'all getting into tonight" and giving them no information about why they had been pulled over. Eventually, officers alleged two infractions: an improper turn and an illegal plastic frame around his license plate. Cosby has since pointed out that the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of the Police sells the same kind of frame on its website. [Rev. Kevin Cosby / Courier-Journal]
The officer, noticing the Simmons College logo on Cosby's shirt asked him what the college was. Cosby later wrote:
"I felt insulted and humiliated by his question about Simmons. Can you imagine a police officer asking what's U of L? What's Spalding? What's Bellarmine? It's not like Simmons only recently opened. The college was founded in 1879 by former slaves. Simmons is the only private black college in the commonwealth, and the only college located in west Louisville, the area that the officer was policing." [Rev. Kevin Cosby / Courier-Journal]
The treatment of Tae-Ahn Lea and Reverend Cosby continues to reverberate. The Louisville police chief recently announced that an internal investigation had found no evidence of bias in the officer's decision to pull over Cosby. The officer was disciplined for violating guidelines by failing to identify himself during the stop, failing to provide a reason for the stop, and for not wearing his body camera properly. [Jason Riley / WDRB]
As for Lea, two months after officers stopped him, a judge dismissed the traffic citation. At a council meeting last week, the chairperson of the public safety committee asked that the police chief appear to answer questions about the stop and the department's tactic of "hyper-policing" in the West End. The chairperson, a former prosecutor, said, according to the Courier-Journal, that public safety is her "highest priority," but the "idea my two sons could and would be pulled over for no other reason than that they live in west Louisville" gives me "significant concern." [Andrew Wolfson / Courier-Journal]
The police department has refused to comment on the case, citing a pending investigation. The department also continues to defend its tactics, saying there is no bias in traffic stops and that they reduce violent crime. [Andrew Wolfson / Courier-Journal]
The claim that traffic stops decrease violent crime has been shown to be false elsewhere. A report published in November examined traffic stops in Nashville, Tennessee. The researchers concluded that, "traffic stops are not an effective strategy for reducing crime." Researchers found that fluctuations in the volume of stops had no effect on crime rates in the long-term or the short-term. Furthermore, with respect to bias, although the police department argued that disparities in traffic stops were the function of differing officer deployment and different rates of traffic infraction the report concluded instead that even controlling for other factors, "unexplained racial disparity still remains." [Policing Project at NYU School of Law]
The police practice of targeting Black drivers—and the corresponding experience of "driving while black"—is pervasive and a national story that often ends in tragedy. New research continues to illuminate that drivers are treated differently based on their race. Last month, the Stanford Computational Policy Lab published a comprehensive study of traffic stops and vehicle searches nationwide. The researchers "compiled and analyzed a dataset detailing nearly 100 million municipal and state patrol traffic stops conducted in dozens of jurisdictions across the country—the largest such effort to date." [Stanford Computational Policy Lab]
The analysis showed three things. First, the researchers found evidence of bias against Black drivers in both highway patrol and municipal police stops. Second, they found that the bar for searching the vehicles of Black and Latinx drivers was lower than that for searching white drivers. Finally, by looking at data from Colorado and Washington, they found evidence that marijuana legalization led to fewer vehicle searches overall but that the bar for searching vehicles of Black and Latinx drivers remained lower post-legalization than that for searching white drivers.

Bernie Sanders supports an end to felony disenfranchisement: At a town hall in Iowa last week, Senator Bernie Sanders was asked if people in prison should retain the right to vote. "I think that is absolutely the direction we should go," the presidential candidate said. Vermont, Sanders's home state, and Maine are the only states, along with Puerto Rico, where people are not disenfranchised while in prison. Iowa, on the other hand, is one of the most restrictive states in the country, requiring permission from the governor to vote even post-sentence. Governor Kim Reynolds had supported a constitutional amendment to make restoration of the right to vote automatic upon completion of one's sentence but the Republican-controlled state Senate killed the measure for at least a year. Senator Elizabeth Warren, another presidential contender, has also recently addressed the issue of felony disenfranchisement but only went so far as to say that people who have completed their sentences should regain their right to vote. [Kevin Hardy / Des Moines Register] See also The Appeal: Political Report's coverage of states' efforts to end felony disenfranchisement.
More photos of the horrifying conditions at St. Clair prison: Last week, the New York Times described horrific conditions in Alabama's St. Clair prison, based on more than 2,000 photos provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The photos, which SPLC received from someone identifying themselves as a corrections officer, included scenes of terrible suffering and gruesome violence. The Times decided to run a small number of the photos, citing the privacy concerns of those in the pictures and "audience sensibilities." On Friday, Splinter published several dozen more of the pictures, described as a "representative sample," excluding those of murder victims and "the most grisly photos." Last week, the Department of Justice also issued its report on a multi-year investigation of Alabama's men's prisons, finding that the state routinely violated the constitutional rights of people in prison "by failing to protect them from prisoner-on-prisoner violence and prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse, and by failing to provide safe conditions." [Hamilton Nolan / Splinter]
Efforts to counter driver's license revocations make progress: In an effort to help thousands of people regain driver's licenses, the district attorney of Durham, North Carolina, is clearing thousands of traffic cases, and working with other officials to clear thousands of fines and fees. The licenses of more than 1.2 million North Carolinians are revoked because of nondriving reasons, such as an inability to pay court fines and fines; this triggers significant hardships by hindering access to housing and employment. The Appeal: Political Report writes on this and other Durham initiatives to improve the transportation of people involved with the legal system, and notes in particular that "initiatives to expand public transit—when done with an eye toward equity goals—can assist the housing, employment, and legal outlook of people whose ability to drive has been restricted." Duke University recently stymied one such initiative. [Daniel Nichanian / The Appeal: Political Report] See also Last week, the Virginia legislature passed a bill to stop the suspensions of driver's licenses over unpaid fines and fees.

Grays launderette murder suspect released under investigation while two men appear in court on suspicion of conspiracy to rob
Two men have been charged on suspicion of conspiracy to rob
Piers MeylerLocal Democracy Reporter
Updated 10:31, 5 JAN 2018
A man arrested on suspicion of the Grays launderette murder has been released under further investigation after appearing to answer bail.
Daniel Wood was arrested following the death of Paul Robertson, 39, from Milton Keynes, who police believe was one of five armed men who stormed Baylee's laundrette in Southend Road, where Mr Wood lives.
Mr Wood, known to friends as Danny, has since been released under investigation while questioning continues after appearing to answer bail on December 28.
Early witness reports suggested that up to five suspects armed with weapons entered the property at around 10pm on Monday December 4 and carried out what appeared to be a targeted, aggravated burglary.
Two men have been charged with conspiracy to rob
Detective Chief Inspector Martin Pasmore, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Early witness accounts suggest that suspects entered the building and carried out an aggravated burglary within the living area.
"During that incident, one of the suspects was fatally injured. The remaining suspects have then escaped with a number of weapons left at the scene.

"Self-defence is a line of enquiry in this case, however, it is important that we remain open minded and carry out a thorough investigation to establish the truth and the facts. We will do that as quickly as possible.
"We are also trying trace next of kin, so it would be inappropriate for us to comment further."

Introduction: Equity is a core value undergirding community-based participatory research (CBPR), but it is hard for Community Based Organizations (CBO) to achieve, given funding mechanisms and institutional structures geared towards academic partners' needs. The last decade has seen growing support for CBO and community leaders who have relevant skills, knowledge and training, to be equitable partners in community engaged research. This presentation will highlight a model for transforming the way community partners are engaged and compensated to provide training and consultation to new and on-going CBPR partnerships.
Methods: A diverse group of community leaders have joined with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to develop a community engagement model through a supplement to NC TraCS, home of UNC's CTSA (Clinical and Translational Sciences Award). The model uses �CBPR Charrettes� as a problem-solving approach to address challenges facing community-academic partnerships at different stages of development.
Discussion: This presentation will discuss three outcomes of UNC's model: 1) new opportunities for community partners to co-lead project activities and provide community expertise; 2) the creation of CBPR Charrette guidance sessions to troubleshoot challenges and identify opportunities and resources for community-academic research partnerships; and 3) institutional impact or how the university has become more responsive to community needs as a result of these efforts.
Conclusion: Ongoing evaluation suggests that our approach has made an impact on the institutional culture of the university by strengthening the emphasis on community engagement and developing new ways to ensure that community expertise is valued.
1. Identify strategies for enhancing equity in community-academic research partnerships. 2. Discuss components of a new model for expanding CBPR capacity. 3. Describe a new role for Community Experts in the community engagement efforts of universities.

Former 76ers superstar Allen Iverson speaks during a news conference Wednesday in Philadelphia where he officially retired from the NBA, ending a 15-year career during which he won the 2001 MVP award and four scoring titles. Iverson retired in Philadelphia where he had his greatest successes and led the franchise to the 2001 NBA finals.Matt Rourke — The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA >> Allen Iverson's highlights played one more time on the big screen, diehard Philadelphia 76ers fans and Julius Erving all part of the crowd catching one more glimpse of No. 3 in his prime.
His killer crossover in his rookie season that dusted Michael Jordan.
The jumper he buried over Tyronn Lue, then the highstep over the fallen Lakers defender in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals.
All there. All as much part of Iverson's DNA as the rants about practice, the cornrows, the controversy.
All in the past.
This was time for A.I to say goodbye.
Iverson officially called it quits though, in truth, it was the NBA that gave up on him nearly four years after he played his final game.
He did it in typical A.I. flair, eschewing a suit fit for an elder statesman for a black, leather hoodie, askew black cap and a gold chain around his neck.
"I always felt like it was cool being me," Iverson said.
Iverson retired Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center, the site of so many of the moments he crafted into a Hall of Fame worthy career. Iverson led the Sixers to the 2001 NBA finals, won four scoring titles, clashed with former coach Larry Brown, and was an All-Star game fixture. Winning a championship is the lone void in a bio sheet that forever stamps him among the league's greats.
The undersized guard with the supersized heart was a perfect match in a city that prizes authenticity and hustle as much as production.
"I'm going to always be a Sixer til I die," he said.
And his number will always hang in the rafters. Iverson's No. 3 will be retired on March 1 against Washington.
The 38-year-old Iverson had not played an NBA game since Feb. 20, 2010, in his second, short-lived stint with the Sixers. The 6-foot, 165-pound guard also played for Denver, Detroit and Memphis over a 14-year career that has him 19th on the career scoring list with 24,368 points.
He also played in Turkey before realizing the NBA doors would not open for him again.
"I thought that once this day came, it would be basically a tragic day," Iverson said. "I never imagined the day coming, but I knew it would come. I feel proud and happy to say that I'm happy with my decision and I feel great."
Iverson always proclaimed his love of Philly, the fans and the Sixers and swore he wanted to end his career with the franchise that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft.
He fearlessly crashed the lane against players nearly a foot taller than him, played through countless injuries and added the pizzaz that was missing in what was a staid franchise. He transformed the 76ers from lottery losers to contenders, though he couldn't bring home an NBA title to this championship-starved city. He came close in 2001, when the 76ers lost to the Lakers.
Iverson was arguably one of the four greatest Sixers, compiling a sparkling resume that put him in the mix with Erving, Wilt Chamberlain, and Charles Barkley. His No. 3 jersey was a best seller around the globe, the headband wrapped snugly around his cornrows, and the tattoos were as much a part of his image as the way he ricochets around the court. Play every game like it was his last was more than a catchphrase, it was a lifestyle.
"My whole thing was, just being me," Iverson said. "Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. You used to think the suspect was the guy with the cornrows, now you see the police officers with the cornrows. You know what I'm saying? I took a beating for those types of things."
From the throwback jerseys to the bling in his ears, Iverson shaped a generation of kids that star in today's NBA.
"He made it cool to be a hip kid," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.
Iverson's years in Philadelphia were marred by arrests in 1997 for carrying a concealed weapon and for possession of marijuana and in 2002 over a domestic dispute with his wife. He was sentenced to community service in 1997 and all charges were dropped against him five years later.
Then there was the never-released rap album, which drew criticism from civil rights groups and got Iverson a reprimand from NBA commissioner David Stern because of its offensive lyrics.
"I made a lot of mistakes, a lot of things I'm not proud of," he said. "But it's only for other people to learn from."
Iverson and Brown were a volatile combination during the six seasons they spent together in Philly. Brown criticized Iverson for taking too many shots and accused him of being selfish at times.
Iverson often arrived late for practice or missed them entirely. In one infamous blowup at the end of the 2002 season he repeated the word "practice" nearly 20 times during a rambling monologue. Iverson said he had no regrets about what he said, or any part of his career, including his beefs with Brown.
Brown and Iverson eventually reconciled and the coach made his former guard co-captain of the 2004 Olympic men's basketball team.
Iverson was a recent guest speaker at SMU practice, where Brown is starting his second season.
"I'm sick that he's going to retire. I don't think he's ready," Brown said. "I think he still could play. He came to speak to our team, and it was phenomenal. And he didn't sound like a guy to me that was ready to retire, and I didn't feel like he should.
"He had an unbelievable career. I don't think any little player in the history of our game impacted the game like him, like he did. I don't know if many players impacted the game like he did. I can't go anywhere where people don't stop me and ask me about Allen."
Iverson credited Brown, and his Georgetown coach John Thompson, who was at the ceremony, for turning him into a man. He had a catch in his voice taking about his deep relationship with former Sixer Aaron McKie. He called Jordan was an inspiration.
But Iverson's post-NBA career has been marred by divorce and stories of financial ruin and alcohol abuse. Iverson was flanked on the podium by three of his children, and said he couldn't let every rumor about his personal life upset him.
Brown said he wasn't worried about Iverson adjusting life without a uniform and an adoring crowd chanting his name.
"I hope Philly gives him a job in the front office like he deserves," Brown said. "That would be a great step, keep him involved with basketball. He needs that, and kids need that because so many kids admire him and want to be just like him and it'd be nice that they'd see him involved in the game."
The Sixers have talked to Iverson about a role with the franchise, a person familiar with the talks told the AP on condition of anonymity because no decision has been finalized.
Miami's LeBron James, a 2004 Olympic teammate of Iverson's, said it was time to give The Answer his due.
"Allen had a great career, one of the best players to ever play the game," James said. "What he did for this league was great and will always be remembered."

Le Baltic Cable est une installation à courant continu à haute tension sous la mer Baltique, réalisant l'interconnexion des réseaux électriques allemands et suédois.
Il utilise une tension de 450 kV, la plus haute tension en usage en Allemagne. Long de , c'était la seconde liaison la plus longue au monde  jusqu'à ce que Basslink entre en service en 2006. C'est un système monopolaire avec une puissance de 600 MW. La liaison est devenue opérationnelle en .

Trajet
Le cheminement du Baltic Cable commence en Allemagne à la station de conversion de Lübeck-Herrenwyk, située sur le site d'une ancienne centrale électrique. Il traverse la rivière Trave dans un conduit de  sous la rivière et continue ensuite sa route comme un câble sous-marin posé sur le côté est de cette rivière. Après avoir traversé la péninsule de Priwall le câble chemine d'abord parallèlement à la côte de Mecklembourg-Poméranie-Occidentale, pour tourner derrière Rostock vers le nord-est en direction de la Suède.

À partir du point sur la côte sud de la Suède où il atteint la terre ferme, le Baltic Cable chemine encore  sous terre. Les 12 derniers des  du Baltic Cable prennent la forme d'une ligne à haute tension suspendue à  jusqu'à la station de conversion de Kruseberg, terme de la ligne.

Exploitation
Comme la ligne aérienne peut générer des interférences radioélectriques, un filtre actif de puissance à haute efficacité est installé à la station de conversion de Kruseberg. Un tel système n'est pas nécessaire à la station de conversion de Lübeck-Herrenwyk car il n'y a pas de ligne aérienne du côté allemand de la Baltique.

Le câble ne peut pas opérer au niveau de transmission maximum de  parce que la ligne  qui débute à la station de conversion de Lübeck-Herrenwyk se termine à la sous-station de Lübeck-Siems. De là, la puissance transite sur des lignes  et , ce qui réduit le niveau de transmission et augmente les pertes de la transmission.

Extension future

Des deux lignes  projetées jusqu'à Lübeck (depuis la centrale nucléaire de Krümmel jusqu'à Lübeck-Siems et depuis la sous-station de Schwerin jusqu'à Lübeck-Herrenwyk), la ligne entre Krümmel et Lübeck-Siems a été annulée selon les porte-parole de E.ON AG.

Il y a toujours une option de construction d'une ligne  depuis Lübeck jusqu'à une autre sous-station  en Schleswig-Holstein, Hambourg ou Basse-Saxe. La construction de la ligne entre Lübeck-Herrenwyk et Schwerin ne progresse pas en raison de l'opposition des écologistes.

Un transmission de  est possible via une nouvelle ligne  et un compensateur statique d'énergie réactive à Lübeck-Siems depuis décembre 2004.

HomeAutomotive EngineeringConcept cars put design pedal to the metal
Concept cars put design pedal to the metal
DN Staff | Apr 08, 2002
Concept cars introduced this year provide a glimpse of tomorrow's production vehicles. Some even successfully blend classic design from the past with the technologies of the future.
Ford's new GT40 concept car is a revved-up re-design of the classic GT40 that became a racing favorite in the 1960s. But the new GT40 has even more horsepower than the original.
New concept cars from General Motors include the Pontiac Solstice Roadster. "This car went from the first sketch to a vehicle we could drive in under four months," says Pontiac spokesperson Mary Henige. "That's lightning fast."
The Audi Advantissimo puts all the car's information and communication systems within the driver's reach in ways the company describes as "instinctive" and "exceptionally easy to use." Strategic placement of the controls is important to the safe integration of Internet-enabled technology into the dashboard that they won't distract the driver.
Other new concept cars feature original approaches to the way we think about the interior and exterior of cars. Mitsubishi uses door panels and seatbacks as removable storage units, creating more room inside the car for passengers and their stuff. Saab uses a cargo floor that extends electronically in its 9X concept car. And Johnson Controls introduced new automotive interior components-switches for doors and climate controls covered in fabric-in its Ariston.
New exterior concepts include the bi-folding tailgate on the Nissan Quest. The SUV's glass roof also has a pop-up roof rack.
Glass on the roof of the Vision GST from Mercedes-Benz is electrochromic. Occupants vary the tinting depending upon the intensity of sunlight.
Pontiac Solstice
Noteworthy: Solstice's engine is mated to a Borg-Warner six-speed manual transmission and the supercharger is an off-the-shelf unit from the GM Service Parts catalog.
Body/chassis structure: Front engine, rear-wheel drive
Engine: Modified, supercharged EcoTec L850 4 cylinder
Maximum Horsepower: 240
Maximum Torque: 225 lb-ft
"We used mostly existing components from GMC and combined them into a compelling roadster that sells for about $20,000, something most people could afford," says Pontiac spokesperson Mary Henige.
Mercedes-Benz Vision GST
Noteworthy: A new high-pressure braking system in the GST uses large brake discs made of carbon fibre-reinforced ceramic.
Body/chassis structure: alloy steel with high tensile strength
Engine: 5.5-liter V8
With the Vision GST, Mercedes-Benz introduces a new six-seater concept with electrochromic glass that runs from the front windscreen to the rear of the vehicle. Occupants vary the tinting depending upon the intensity of sunlight.
Ford GT40
Noteworthy: The V8 in the GT40 has aluminum four-valve heads, forged crankshaft, forged rods, aluminum pistons, and is fed by a supercharger. The car is based on the '60s racer.
Body/chassis structure: Aluminum space frame, unstressed composite body
Engine: 5.4-liter, 32-valve supercharged and inter-cooled V8,
Maximum Torque: 500 ft-lb
"Anyone can do technology showpieces," says Chris Theodore, Ford's vice-president of North American product development. "But there's much more to a GT40. There's heritage and heart."
Cadillac Cien
Noteworthy: The car's V12 engine meets the packaging requirements and fuel economy of a V8.
Body/chassis structure: Carbon fiber, composites, and aluminum
Engine: 7.5-liter V12
"With the Cien, we've created the ultimate expression of design using dynamic lines to achieve geometric forms," says Simon Cox, executive director of the advanced design studio for Cadillac. Cien means 100 in Spanish. The car's introduction coincides with Cadillac's 100-year anniversary.
Noteworthy: Built-in laptop tables stow in the car's console. The instrument panel is built around reconfigurable screens that display the vehicle's telematic systems.
Body/chassis structure: Aluminum and composite body-on-frame construction
"The Continental is lithe and alive, but simplicity and elegance define the design," says the car's design director Gerry McGovern.
Audi Avantissimo
Noteworthy: Avantissimo uses two small turbochargers rather than a single large turbocharger.
Body/chassis structure: Aluminum body with air springs at all four wheels
Engine: 4.2-liter V8 biturbo
Audi introduces its new multi-media interface in the Avantissimo. All main functions are directly accessible by pressing buttons. Selection within each menu is by means of rotary switch and the pushbuttons surrounding it.


My client was reviewing my menu suggestions for her 150-guest cocktail party, adding the last one on her own.
"NO", I said, a little more aggressively than I had intended.
Years ago, I worked as a free-lance chef for a big-time catering company in Los Angeles. We would cater colossal parties for the astronomically rich, where every display was over the top.
There were epic platters of food – with sausages and cheese flown in from other countries and cupcake towers the size of New York brownstones.
We would cut vegetables for days, whittling jicama and carrot wedges into little pointy daggers, nipping the tops off radishes, and blanching broccoli and sugar snap peas into the brightest green they could be. It was a thing of beauty for sure, but we had to buy and cut three times more veggies than anyone could ever eat. Catering is all about making platters look full at all times – which means there has to be tons of coverage. We have to make sure that if someone suddenly goes on a Persian cucumber binge, the display still looks abundant. Hey, nothing says success like excess, right? Well, 75% of the cascading peppers, baby tomatoes, and asparagus would wind up in the garbage.
Of course, the staff would take some veggies home, but no matter how many servers leave with pockets full of carrots, you've got beautiful produce going in the trash.
I had an earth machine in my backyard, so I would take the compostable extras home, but eventually it got too much for my composter.
The plain and simple truth is, no matter how crack-tastic your dip is, people are only going to have a couple pieces of crudite. Maybe it's time to move on from the classic crudite presentation. Maybe we can figure out a way to still provide vegetables with a more responsible attitude. I think there's a psychological component to passed apps. People feel better about challenging the cupcake tower if they can also have a celery stick. I'm all about people eating things that are good for them, just not about wasting good food.
One of my solutions was this… falafel. It's delicious, vegan, gluten-free, healthy, AND fried. It could dance in and among some gorgeous cut veggies with delicious hummus and tzatziki to serve as dip for all. I also make my falafel with a little bit of blanched spinach or kale to make it very green – so it's gorgeous on the platter. I buy fewer veggies, more get eaten, and I toss none (I'm still filling my waitstaff's pockets with extra cauliflower and green beans). Everyone wins.
Fresh falafel is easy to do, though it takes a night to soak the garbanzo beans. I've tried to do it with canned beans, but the falafel fall apart when they're fried (even if they're drained well). I like to make them with garbanzo flour too so they're totally gluten free, though all-purpose flour works well if you don't have to worry about gluten.
Soak the garbanzo beans for at least 8 hours in water that covers the beans by two inches. Drain.
In a food processor, pulse the onion with the garlic, parsley, and cilantro until it's chopped fine. Add the drained garbanzo beans and puree. Add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, soda, salt and continue to puree. Add the garbanzo flour and pulse until it's incorporated.
Heat the oil in a medium pot until it has reached 325 degrees. Using a small cookie dough scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out the falafel batter and carefully drop it into the oil. It will only take about 15 seconds to cook.
If you'd like to make these as green as mine are, simply blanche a couple of leaves of kale for about 30 seconds in boiling water. Then add the kale into the food processor when you're blending all the ingredients.

Q: Any way to specify the XML string used in xsi:type=""? I have a hierarchy of classes that are serialised to XML using XMLSerialiser. To do this I am declaring all the concrete types with [XmlInclude]. eg.
 [XmlInclude(typeof(Derived))]
 public class Base
 {
 }

 public class Derived : Base
 {
 }

An instance of Derived gets serialised as:
<Base xsi:type="Derived" />

Is there any way change the type text to something other than the class name? eg:
<Base xsi:type="Fred" />

A: I think you do it as follows:
[XmlType(TypeName = "Fred")]
public class Derived : Base
{
}

A: Use the XmlType attribute:
[XmlInclude(typeof(Derived))]
public class Base
{
}

[XmlType("Fred")]
public class Derived : Base
{
}

This will give you the desired xsi:type when serializing a Derived object using a Base serializer. My test program output:
<Base xsi:type="Fred"/>

Coronary artery disease (CAD) kills 370,000 Americans every year, making it the most common form of cardiovascular disease. For most people, the first indication of heart trouble is a heart attack, often a fatal heart attack. If you want to avoid this experience, you must know that plaque buildup and heart disease are completely avoidable.
First, you must know this: Your doctor cannot help you avoid a heart attack. Conventional medical education consists of – at most – three hours of nutrition information. Instead, doctors are trained to identify illness and treat it with pharmaceutical medications. Fortunately, you can take steps as an individual to avoid cardiovascular disease through your own lifestyle and diet choices.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says, "CAD is caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart (called coronary arteries) and other parts of the body." The important issue is how and why the plaque forms in the first place.
The formation of plaque is an inherently intelligent response by your body, attempting to repair an injured area of the circulatory system. The injury is usually the result of inflammation, which occurs as a result of an accumulation of poor diet. Toxic fats, sugars, and chemical additives are the underlying problem.
CDC recommendations include lifestyle changes. They say to lower sodium and fat intake, quit smoking and exercise more. That is fine, as far as it goes. But most people need additional guidance.
"The answer is so simple that people will not take it seriously," according to Dr. Hans Diehl, a heart specialist and health educator. Most people living in first world countries have not received sufficient education in nutrition, and government guidelines are erroneous and inadequate.
The standard American diet is heavy in toxic, factory-raised meats, processed foods loaded with chemicals, toxic vegetable oils, foods that have been genetically modified (GMOs), and particularly, sugar. If you've been eating this way for years, it is not too late to make a change.
A number of health experts recommend, and the outcomes of numerous studies support, an eating program that focuses on fresh organic vegetables and fruits, big salads and leafy greens, legumes and whole grains. Eat a handful of raw nuts every day. Don't be afraid to use healthy fats like avocados, olive oil and coconut oil. If you eat meat, you should do so infrequently, and choose grain-fed beef and organic, humanely-raised chicken. Fish should be fresh caught. As an indulgence, have a glass of red wine or a bite of very dark chocolate and a bowl of berries.
Get at least half an hour a day of exercise. Even gentle walking will help your cardiovascular health, and when you feel ready, add some stretching (perhaps yoga or Pilates). You may want to consider some light weight lifting.
Avoid stress, and when stress is unavoidable, learn to manage it better. Meditation is an excellent tool for managing stress, as is time spent in nature, regular exercise, and time spent with the people you enjoy.
Finally, consult with a holistic health practitioner and make sure you are getting the correct nutrition, including the vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, omega-3s, and CoQ10.

As mentioned in ATAD, DH has given me permission to start on the junk room. This room contains boxes of computer equipment/software/printouts, most of which have been untouched for 10 years, after having been untouched for the previous 6 in the old house.
So: if you were sorting this, how would you start? Pull everything out and start grouping? By what categories? I've also agreed to come up with disposal methods (user groups with archives, GreenDisk, the electronics recycling event next month) so that as soon as he makes a decision, the item has a place to go.
What have I overlooked? Have we covered this already and I need a pointer and a cluestick?
Brave girl! I'd start with the vipers nest of cables. Put like with like so he can see how many duplicates you have. Then hope for reason to prevail!
Anything that doesn't fit in one of these categories is just garbage, so you'll probably need a pile/bag/box marked TRASH as well!
Re: sunk cost fallacy, if necessary remind your DH how much mortgage/rent has been paid for no other purpose than to provide storage space for this junk. I guarantee that is far more than the entire "value" of the contents of the room.
I know Best Buy here in the states has recycling containers for all of the random cables that seem to accumulate.
As far as how to tackle the project, what are you turning the room into and does DH have a stake/interest in the resulting space? If so it might be useful to tackle areas and slowly redecorate so he can see his progress. . . . although sorting in that kind of environment might be overwhelming.
Given how fast computer hardware changes, I have to wonder how useful 10- to 16-year-old stuff is going to be anyway. Maybe you can convince him that getting any of it working again would be more trouble/cost than it's worth, just to end up with something that seems pretty unimpressive compared to today's equipment?
Get him to give you a date before which software manuals are useless, maybe? My partner is a coder, and always just uses online -man, but he has 2 or 3 paper manuals – we have a standing agreement that any manual more than 5 years old is recyclable, like a phone book.
Way back in 1965, when computing was new Dr. Gordon Moore, cofounder of Intel, predicted that technology would double every two years. There is an exact quote but this is the basic gist of it. And that prediction has become Moore's law as it has remained crazily accurate and is predicted to remain accurate until 2015 or longer.
That said, you now have a little more ammo for exactly how worthless some of this computer junk really is.
tech advancement certainly blisters along at a crazy pace.
anything older than, say, what is on my desk right now, would be sent on to a new home, if it was mine.
tech stuff in piles in a garage….you know what i'd be doing!
tech for me, is to be used until it falls apart OR sold while it is still kicking to make way for upgrades.
just buying newer stuff and leaving the old stuff somewhere around the house…that way madness lies (for me anyway, and i've been a short way down this very road, with cables and broken mice and defunct keyboards and hard drives that would never go again…..i held onto them for years and then i woke up one day and gave it all away. and the thing is, i have never ever regretted a single piece of tech that i have donated or sold on).
i'd go through it, get an overview, arm myself with some salient facts and details about how old and useless it all is……and then i'd make a lovely dinner for him and have a really good, calm, reasonable chat about it.
yes, it is horribly manipulative, but he needs to start thinking about this stuff differently if you want to really get a move on it.
might take a bit of persuasion.
DH has several boxes of wires, computer parts and who knows what else in boxes in our office. His thought is, when he finishes the garage (sheetrock, shelves) he will use all this stuff for a TV, surround sound (why?)and whatever else out there.
When the garage is finished, and all his stuff put up, the rest is out of here. It is probably outdated anyway.
What is it with men and their wires?
Seriously, folks, the hi fi and TV surround sound set up was on the short side of the living room rectangle. And then on the long side. And now, it's back to the short side again. I'm sure that cables have been remade every time, even though you would think they would still fit.
Lucy, all the best. A virtual cup of what cheers you is waiting here when you need it.
Oh, by the way, Sky, surround sound is great fun after it's been set up… Although I wouldn't miss it if it had to go.
Lucy — seems like you have a good plan, and great job on winning over the DH!
I think grouping is useful — at least it has been for me. When you can see EXACTLY how many things you have it makes it easier to let the duplicates go. Have one extra power cord or mouse is perhaps prudent — having 20 is silly.
I have found that my ideas of categories change as I go through a mess, so I would recommend flexibility. If you have a computer recycling event next month I would make that stuff my priority — you certainly don't want to reach the point where you are ready to move and have to PAY someone to take that stuff off your hands!
When dealing with DH's stuff (or stuff he deals are his primary responsibility) I found it helpful to do as much pre-sorting as possible. The more opportunities he had to touch a thing the stronger his attachment to it grew.
I gather from what you said that the printouts are of Internet groups? What a nightmare! He's looking for group remnants that may want hard copies? I'd set a deadline. Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
Lucy, my husband is hesitant to get rid of things too, especially electronics equipment. What I found did NOT work was putting items in a box and asking him to go through them. What does work is separating items into the categories I think they belong in — throw away, give away, keep. Then I tell him what I've done and give him the opportunity to go through the boxes and change them in any way he wants to. Then we usually both take a trip together to the Goodwill store to drop off the give aways.
This worked out to be a non-confrontational way for us to work through some of our decluttering. I also don't worry anymore about finding just the right home for something I'm getting rid of because that means it usually ends up sitting somewhere taking up space for months. If I'm not throwing it away or keeping it, it goes to Goodwill, and as soon as I have even a box or two it's time to get it out of the house.
My other suggestion is for you to set up a sorting area in the room you're clearing out. Mine is a big folding table like you'd use for a garage sale. When the table gets full of things I need to go through, I take time and go through all of it and sort, toss and give away. I have a problem with having things stacked all over the floor, so *nothing* goes on the floor, it all goes on the table. I sort my items into tall laundry baskets that live under the table. When those laundry baskets are empty I stack them for the next project.
@chacha I have grabbed your categories and put them straight into my Evernote page for this; bless you!
@smallLife The room is a bedroom in the basement, which is how it's gone without remark for so long: as we're probably moving in the next six months, cleaning it out and possibly replacing the flooring is the extent of redecorating.
@everyone else This goes back to identity: once upon a time DH was a network engineer; wrote books on the subject, stayed up all night sorting out tetchy servers — then one day he was asked to become an instructor, and found out he liked that much better: it meant regular sleep! Soon he was the head of the instructor program for a Large Software Company, and that was even more fun.
He knows that he doesn't really need all the software and the equipment; he's not actively coding or testing any more, and as it is most of the gear in the house is ancient: newest things are a Wacom tablet and a 2TB external hard drive. He's gone so far as to say that when we move, we should get rid of everything but our laptops and the hard drives, and pick up an all-in-one that would allow for a little tinkering.
But this is proof that he's not who he was, and he's really taking it hard. I'm hoping that making a start will convince him that who he is now and who he can be are wonderful people, and they need room to be who they are.
Am I babbling now? It feels like it. I'ma go sort some stuff.
Ah – the evidence of prior learning. 🙂 I know how he feels. I was an IT Tech and then an instructor. I gave up both to be a librarian (or rather to work as one as I had done the studies/degree previously) but I held on to the stuff from those times for far too long. They finally left in the initial purge of my home office – but it was more than 10 years since I'd used them.
You're making a ton of sense, Lucy! I don't have a category to add, but a small rule-of-thumb for discarding that my husband seems to like. Any hardware or software that is "to keep" must be compatible with the tech already in use at our home, or must fill an immediate defined need (e.g., he built up a spare desktop for streaming Netflix; we're modifying an old monitor into a TV). Everything else goes to the municipal electronics recycling center.
Glad we could be helpful, Lucy! I think your penultimate paragraph is beautiful … show it to DH and he will understand that you "get it" and he may feel comforted.
I pointed him at this thread. After he read it, there was a brief but heartfelt moment in which I would have applied the nearest heavy object to the side of his head as he proceeded (his words!) to make my point for me re: "but this is who I am!" statements.
Of course, being big old geeks, the only appropriate response was a Firefly quote lest things get too serious, but we now have the recycling event next month on the calenders as a firm goal. I think the room will be empty then.
Have I told you today how wonderful you are? You're wonderful. Thank you for the encouragement. ETA: he gave me explicit permission to tell you how he reacted: you gotta love someone who owns their behavior.
I'd encourage every geek to get rid of old tools, software and components as soon as they are replaced. Not only will you save space, but the extra cash from selling or trading them while they still have value will more than pay for the few you might actually need to reacquire.
*I did lose a 1980s video game manual I'll probably never be able to replace, but it shouldn't have been in that stack of stuff in the first place. If the closet had been less cluttered, I probably would have realized that!
P.S. Those cables always seem to be the worst. I finally delved into my cable box one day and was able to isolate over a dozen power adapters that didn't seem to go to ANYTHING I still had!
I'm convinced that cables will breed if you leave them in alone the box for too long!
I'm off for another round: there's actually a one-day drop-off this Thursday, and if I can get even a few boxes out, it will hopefully encourage forward momentum. If I'm not back by tonight, send a rescue team . . . .
A huge hurtle has been overcome! The curator of the museum at DH's Former Employer has said that they don't want any of the years of old software and related publications that are in the room, and that means I get to chuck it! I picked up two Sterilite tubs and a plastic file box at the thrift store today: the personal items are going in the file box, the publications into one tub to be emptied into the recycling bin nightly until full, and the software into the other tub to await the next electronics drop-off.
AND! DH volunteered the idea that he could scan most of the photos and clippings that will be in that file box, and toss them afterward. We may get through this without tears and/or bloodshed!
20% of the room has been cleared in a week.
lucy, that is FANTASTIC news. It's good to hear about a project that's going more smoothly than anticipated.
A friend of mine is moving. Her husband was a sysadmin. He is not even in the business anymore. She took so much computer equipment to the toxic waste dropoff, they suspected she was dumping business waste and started questioning her very closely.
Rosa: I'm planning on spreading it out amongst my son and his friends.
I'm going back to the thrift store today for the huge bin I saw yesterday: it didn't have a lid, but it'll do to haul all the cables.
That is excellent news! It really is everything to have the partner on board. Good luck and might I dare wish you "Have fun" as well? It might be since your DH is so supportive.
His job for today is going through a container of audio cassettes of classical music. I know for a fact that container has not been opened in 10 years, and he's promised to only keep things that he can't find on-line, and then to take them to my brother's this weekend and rip them to .mp3s.
The recycling bin (90 US gallon container) is full. I think the final count was 20 boxes, with assorted bits of plastic and user instructions, rendered into separate components and tossed. DS came downstairs and took things apart as I hauled them out of the room, then gleefully helped me carry it all outside and did a dance with me on the patio.
Just took some Benadryl. I need a shower, and more bins. And maybe a nap.
lucy and secret squirrel….you guys are rocking the decluttering!
it is wonderful just reading about it.
You took the words out of my mouth, bandicoot!
I am bowing to Secret Squirrel's DH: I have visual and physical impairments that prevent my riding a bike, so I am in awe of anyone who can balance AND haul things!
You guys, I am thinking I need to get out my flamethrower and check the basement for pods; I'm not sure this is the same man I married.
There is now enough room to set up a table for sorting; today I should be able to move four containers of cables and components and two machines into the first room of the basement, nearest the door. If I get the trophies photographed, they can go out tomorrow.
I have stopped for today; as soon as I find a decent genealogy program that isn't LDS, I'll transfer all the information and then shred the paper copies.
SecretSquirrel – my DH and his buddy are going caribou hunting on their bicycles! They will drive to the hunting area (about 150 miles from here) and camp, then go "off-road" on their bikes. They have trailers so they can move any animals back to the camp. They did a trial run a few weeks ago and have found a place that the riding is not too difficult. He's also been doing 30 mile rides around here to get in shape.
and please, I don't want to hear any anti-hunting tirades. We live in Alaska, these are sanctioned hunts, and we eat what we get; we're not after trophies to mount and display (which I totally disagree with).
i applaud your gumption!! i would sort computer related from non computer related, then toss nearly everything computer related away. unless you are still using it or need it as part of your occupation…you don't need to store any of it.
i started a test a couple of years ago…for the last 3 years i have always bought the manuals and extras to go with any software. through various decluttering i have culled the manuals down to just software i still own and use. and they are on one shelf…and in 3 years i haven't opened one of them. So any software or hardware for that manner doesn't actually NEED a paper manual taking up space. if i need the reinstall disc that's all i keep, everything gets pitched. i have all those discs and any reg cards etc..in one plastic container on the closet shelf. done and dusted. as for old devices and cables. put em in a box on the curb, they will last about 10 minutes.
Amazing progress logged of late. Before long, lucy's junk room will need a new name. What'll it be?
How 'bout "the room Lucy vacuumed"?
I am so very tired, but as of tonight, the boxes are arranged around the perimeter of the room — not stacked on each other — and the floor's clean. I won't tell you how long it's been since I've been able to vacuum in there, as it is a deeply embarrassing number.
DH came downstairs to ask me something and nearly fell over in shock. The cats have been in and out, looking confused at first, then jumping on top of the lidded boxes and onto the sorting table.
Where's a good place to park a few photos? I've been taking them once a week.
How about 'Lucy's uncluttered haven of tranquility'? There's a flickr group somewhere for photos.
Yesterday I counted: including the things in the closet (there's a title for a children's book for you), there are 15 boxes left to sort. Then DH can join me and we'll go through what remains: there are two boxes of personal items (yearbooks, photos — we found his pinewood derby cars!), several boxes of audio cassettes (yep, found more), and then the software and publications, and I'm prepared to bet cookies that 90% of that will go straight into the recycling bin or the Technotrash can.
I think lucy1965 may win the 2011 Uncluttering Academy Award!
We are now down to 7 boxes. Is it normal to be on the verge of tears when the end is in sight? Honestly, I've been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to work out why I feel like crying. This isn't even my stuff!
ETA: 6 boxes, and now I have a reason. More personal paperwork. Oh, good, now I can have my cry and then go shred things.
5 boxes left; two went out to the thrift store, one box of 5.25″ discs was dropped at Best Buy.
Since they offer free recycling and a TechnoTrash can is $60, I think I'll divide the discs into smaller boxes and drop one at Best Buy every couple of weeks; this will also use up the small cardboard boxes floating around the main room in the basement.
We filled three 13-gallon trash bags with shredded paper in three days. No more is happening down there until the pick-up on Tuesday.
Well, my part of it, anyway. It's up to DH now.
I was all excited at first, but — I was expecting more praise from the guys, honestly. It's something of a letdown.
@Lucy, you did great! When that room is available for some other use, it will gradually sink in to the guys that this was a great thing to do.
Lucy, you did amazing work. And your guys are probably still adjusting to the change, but I'm sorry you didn't get the praise you deserve.
Three cheers for Lucy! We haven't even SEEN the job but, having been through our own uncluttering programs, we know just how hard it must have been — not just physically, but emotionally, dealing with family dynamics. Big hug!
Thanks, folks. The cheering really did help (and I'm sorry I didn't get back sooner, but I've got a cold coming on).
DH did say later that he was very impressed, but he's one of those Scottish/Norwegian Minnesotans and they don't tend to bounce when excited. *sigh* Oh, well, I knew what was in the package when I signed for it.
I'll go downstairs now and get a couple of photos, then upload them. Thanks for the link, bandicoot!
Photos are up; I'm not, I'm in bed. But you can see where I started.
It's hard to take a good picture on a phone, but I'm glad I managed to get them posted at all, so yay me! And yay for DH not being embarrassed to let other people see where we started; I'm so proud of him, you lot, I don't even have words.
The effect seems to be spreading, too! I cleaned off a shelf in the office space that held publications from Former Employer: based on the layer of dust I took off first (a quarter-inch. No, I did not make that up; I grabbed a seam gauge and checked. And did I mention eeeeeeeeeewwwwww?), those will be in the recycling bin sometime next week. Meanwhile, there is a completely empty shelf! And I grabbed random electronic bits and bobs that were loitering on other shelves and put them in a banker's box for purposes of "cat vacuuming", so two more are greatly reduced.
Final count: seven boxes, one bag of old batteries, one compact fluorescent bulb. I queued for half an hour at the collection event; the guys who helped me unload said it had been like this since 7 this morning, and when I drove out the line was past the entrance to the park and making its way down a major arterial road!
Wow, three weeks goes quickly!
Yesterday: four file boxes of software and a huge plastic container of publications, of which all but a handful of discs and papers wound up in the recycling bin or the TechnoTrash can. We took a kitchen timer, his phone and the minispeaker down with us, and worked through in 15-minute blocks with the occasional assistance of the cats.
Today I might suggest another round, as the recycling bin's not even half full after I broke down the cardboard boxes (when he objected, I showed him the dust and bugs inside the empty boxes — after that, he helped. *grin*).
I've just done a quick count: we're down to a bunch of individually boxed software, two CD storage drawers, one cardboard box of CDs and two 54-quart Sterilite totes. My goal is to get the software and cables that aren't currently in use in the Fortress of Solitude into one of those totes, with the other for personal papers. I don't know if it's possible, but I'm beginning to let myself hope.
woohoo! you are really on a roll, lucy!
Hey Lucy1965, you are doing amazing things. Have you done a feet-of-space assessment? I'll bet you have gone from available floor space of about 100 SF max to at least three times that.
chacha, my chacha — how do I do that? Is it different from taking the room measurements and then blocking out the area where the remaining boxes live?
We may have additional incentive: DH's friend from Edinburgh will be here with his wife on the 30th, and they're going to sit down and have a formal discussion about the possibilities of relocating us. If that happens, I imagine things will go flying out of the house — but the e-mail as worded didn't fill me with confidence, and I'm still growling about being asked to show his wife around the city while they talk.
LOL no kidding! Like the two of you shouldn't be in on that conversation! Grrrrr.
Measurements … you know, that is probably just one of my freakish OCD things, I measure stuff. 🙂 But yeah, it's basically just measure the room from wall to wall, then measure the bits occupied by stuff. Undoubtedly, unnecessary!
I am getting a little ridiculous. But it's exciting! The last two old computers go away on Thursday!
I can do chacha's idea today. Wanna know why?
'Cause DH, at loose ends, did the last of the boxes from Former Employer. The "stuff that's made it through to the second round" is now in the two Sterilite totes. The software being disposed of now fills four banker's boxes and a very large plastic underbed storage bin. By the time I get all the cardboard and manuals out, I'm sure the recycling bin will be — sing it with me, I know you all know the words by now! — full again.
That leaves five boxes and a trunk, all personal items.
We are going out to eat; he's earned it.
We realized today that this leaves the garage and the Fortress of Solitude as the last two difficult places in the house. The garage we'll handle by separating out my small garden tools and the prettiest of the pots, then inviting the neighbors to help themselves. Anything left will go on the curb or off to the Reuse facility.
The Fortress — I think he's feeling inspired, now, and it won't be as much of a struggle.
A box of 3.5″ discs turned up in the cold storage! Into the TechnoTrash they go; the author copies of DH's last book are now in the — I still need a name for it. The former junk room.
DH has cleared off two small bookcases in the FoS and moved them to DS's storage room. I'm going to shift what's left in there that's ours into the FJR, or up to the closet in our room, in the case of the suitcases.
it must feel so light and marvellous!
The fortress of solitude cracked me up as well. Nice name. Haha.
And your husband is flying too!
ANOTHER box of old software in the cold storage. We're up to five banker's boxes now. And he says that there's MORE in the big trunk I thought held personal papers!
It's okay, I don't need to freak out — we're finding it, we're getting rid of 95% of it, moving is going to be a snap. The trunk gets cleaned out, the personal stuff goes in there, this is not a crisis.
After a surprisingly unfraught discussion, the only furniture we want to take with us is our bed, my dressing table and chair (an early '20s burl maple piece from a long-ago estate sale), his desk and chair, a console table from the turn of the last century that my grandparents left me, the big Ikea Markor bookcase, and a leather ottoman: we'll buy barstools and a couple of Kivik chaises when we get where we're going. If we wind up going overseas, we won't even take that much.
It is, as bandicoot said, "light and marvellous" to reach this point. Getting rid of the extra furniture will be its own battle, but we're not there yet. Still plenty to deal with around the edges . . . .
Nothing has happened for a month? Wow!
Cross your fingers, girls and boys: I may have found a local place that offers secure data destruction to take the discs (I will take a picture with the phone in the camera later). There's still one more potential hidey-hole of software left, and if things are fairly calm we'll get it dealt with this weekend, then drive the lot out to the site and do a dance in their parking lot.
I've already heard back; they've said they'll be happy to take the discs and sent me a Certificate of Destruction request form: all I have to do is fill it out and bring it with me when we take the discs to them! And it's FREE!
well, how good is that?
that room must be empty enough to rollerskate in.
In the course of returning DS's BB pistol to him ("I wondered where that wound up!"), the last container of software (a large lockable trunk) was cleaned out. With the exception of the aforementioned BB pistol and 10 discs, everything else wound up in either the recycling bin or the e-waste pile; the trunk has been repurposed for DH's personal papers, which we will start on this weekend.
I'll get a photo, yes. The final total of software to be recycled works out to about 9 bankers' boxes worth of discs, ranging from 5.25″ floppies to data cassettes to DVDs.
As promised, a photo: apparently I was so bouncily excited over emptying the trunk that my numeracy was jarred loose. It's more like 7 boxes.
Seven is still A LOT! Yay Lucy!
Wow, Lucy, that's an impressive amount of discs! I remember when I was working and we were relocating stuff (either adding or subtracting space in the office, we did both several times over the 20 years I worked there) and we came upon a huge box full of 8″ floppy disks! Yikes, even then they were many years obsolete. Fortunately it was a law office, and we contracted a shredding company anyway, so they shredded them along with our regular stuff. They had semi-soft cases as opposed to the 3.5″ ones that came along later, so easy for a monster shredder to digest.
Just home from the drive out to the industrial zone by the airport; two very pleasant men helped me unload the boxes, gave me a tracking number and receipt, and the Certificate of Destruction will be here next week.
I think I deserve a cupcake.

Q: Angular 8 filter/search json lists with multiple search keys How to use multiple search(json) keys in my Pipe
Custom Pipe which accepts multiple arguments(keys / json keys: ['name', 'age', 'id']).
Instead of this
HTML « *ngFor="let student of students | jsonFilterBy:[searchText, 'name'] "

I want to use multiple search-keys ['name', 'age', 'id']: as below
HTML « *ngFor="let student of students | jsonFilterBy:[searchText, 'name', 'age', 'id'] "

Filtering the content using a Pipe « json-filter-by.pipe.ts

This is my JSON data.
JSON « [{ id: 1, name: 'Mr.Jhon' ,age:14}, { id: 2, name: 'Miss.mary' ,age:84}, { id: 1, name: 'Mrs.Carol' ,age:104}]

this is Custom Pipe

  transform(json: any[], args: any[]) : any[] {
    var searchText = args[0];
    var jsonKey = args[1];

    // json = undefined, args = (2) [undefined, "name"]
    if(searchText == null || searchText == 'undefined') return json;
    if(jsonKey    == null || jsonKey    == 'undefined') return json;

    // Copy all objects of original array into new Array.
    var returnObjects = json;
    json.forEach( function ( filterObjectEntery ) {

      if( filterObjectEntery.hasOwnProperty( jsonKey ) ) {
        console.log('Search key is available in JSON object.');

        if ( typeof filterObjectEntery[jsonKey] != "undefined" &&
        filterObjectEntery[jsonKey].toLowerCase().indexOf(searchText.toLowerCase()) > -1 ) {
            // object value contains the user provided text.
        } else {
            // object didn't match a filter value so remove it from array via filter
            returnObjects = returnObjects.filter(obj => obj !== filterObjectEntery);
        }
      } else {
        console.log('Search key is not available in JSON object.');
      }

    })
    return returnObjects;
  }
}
