Mom N 'Em Coffee & Wine in Cincinnati's Camp Washington serves up coffee, pastries, a light breakfast, plus wine and snacks / Image: Brianna Long
Main Street Ventures Grant Recipient: Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine
After years of globetrotting and running two businesses in San Francisco, Austin and Tony Ferrari wanted to create a place that felt like home. A place back where they grew up in Cincinnati, that felt like the warmth of Italian-American hospitality with the soul of a carefully renovated century-old home.
That's how Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine came to be in Cincinnati's Camp Washington neighborhood. The welcoming shop serves up coffee, pastries, a light breakfast, plus wine and snacks. The brothers now have two Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine locations, run Fausto at the CAC, plus Ferrari Bros, a brand that represents real estate, lifestyle, hospitality, travel, and consulting.
Thanks to the work of Austin, Tony, and mom – yes, who can often be found behind the counter – they quickly earned recognition for their work. In 2019, Food & Wine magazine ranked Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine as #5 in their list of the "Top 100 Coffee Shops in America." Again in 2022, the Ferrari bros' shop made a repeat, being named the best coffee shop in Ohio in Food & Wine's list.
As Food & Wine put it, Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine is a "hugely appealing, West Coast-chic environment on the ground level of a converted home, the energy from the shop spilling out onto the expansive side patio, all day long. A second location opens all the way across town, later this spring."
They say necessity is the mother of invention, and according to Austin, that was the case for Mom 'n 'em. "We just started with ideas of what we love and what we would love to see, and we knew that we wanted our mother to be a part of it," he adds. "We wanted to give back to her for all of her hard work through the years raising us."
The name for the business, as unique as it is to the rest of us, is just another saying among the Ferrari brothers. "Mom 'n 'em has been a saying in our family for years," he says. "When we were younger, our uncle would come over and always ask jokingly, 'how's your mom 'n 'em?'" It basically meant mom and everyone else. He picked up the term from 700 WLW where Gary Burbank would always ask the other radio host how mom 'n 'em was. It just became this little saying in the family and we saw it fit for our shop."
Coming up with a name that had a story was important to them. They wanted something that was meaningful, honest, and part of the family and culture. The unique name is just the start of the culture of the restaurant. Austin says that at Mom 'n 'em, the menu is unlike anything else you'll find in the area.
"We have been in the industry for such a long time since we were kids, and I think that is reflected in the food we cook, the beverages we make, the wines we select, and the culture we've created here at the shop," he says. "I think that we have really created a community and a culture within the cafe that is just totally different than anywhere you see, not only within the city, but the state."
The brothers have grown their business significantly since they opened their doors, going far beyond Clifton and Northside, even seeing travelers from the deep west and eat coming in as well as visitors from New York City, California, and even Canada. "We saw travelers that were visiting family and wanted to visit our shop, and that felt so incredible," he adds. While the growth was strong, COVID-19 made its impact and forced them to pivot, like every business around the country.
"We kept our doors open for our regulars and for our city to still come in and get out of the house during such a rough time, and we delivered or we did curbside pick-up and we just never gave up on the people who have supported us since day one," says Austin. "During that the, we really started to see the business almost thrive and not with money, but thrive in love."
The impact the shop has had on the community is propelling the brothers into the future, as they look to see how they can continue to grow in love with those around them. "We would like to see the business grow in a community and employee-focused manner," says Austin. "What I mean by that is never really putting our guard down or giving up to what we believe in and what we focus on - never giving up on using the local purveyor, never giving up on using the local product, never giving up on using the local coffee, never giving up on the sustainable and biodegradable products, and never giving up on looking into the future of not only our business but the world and how we can help it."
Some of those goals include growing the business in a way that is community orientated and showing each guest that they are just as important as the guest before and after them. They also want to maintain a commitment to quality and positively impact employees by offering benefits and eventually a 401k plan. "As a small business, those kinds of things are so tough to come across, but for us, we are working hard to hopefully build that infrastructure," says Austin. "Last but not least we would like to see our products in local markets, so you can take Mom 'n 'em home with you. We are less focused on how many shops we have, but more focused on the quality and the way we get there."
To help them accomplish those goals is Main Street Ventures (MSV). Mom 'n 'em was recently announced as a grant recipient and with the funding they received, they'll be able to take their business to the next level and offer one of their most unique beverages to customers outside the store.
The drink, called Franklin's Coconut Cold Brew, goes back more than seven years when the brothers were in San Francisco. "Franklin James Clary became a good friend of ours in San Francisco, and we would go to his house and cook dinner and go out to eat and have drinks and he would always tell us about this beverage that he wanted to make with us," Austin explains. "Well, Franklin passed away a little over six or seven years ago and it was very quick and very sad, however, we never forgot about his mission and dream that he wanted to do with us at our cafe in San Francisco."
With that in mind, the brothers created Franklin's Coconut Cold Brew and quickly became a hit among customers at Mom 'n 'em. In fact, says Austin, they were frequently asked when the beverage would be available in stores. "Ever since then, it's been in the back of our minds to get this thing bottled and shelf stable so it can be picked up and taken home," says Austin. "This grant from Main Street Ventures is really going to help us move forward with the bottling process. We believe that this is going to make a huge difference in our business and will offer an entirely new outlet for us that is different than our shops. We can't wait to share it with the world."
MSV's primary objective is to support all entrepreneurs that show potential to create jobs and positively impact the community. MSV also supports organizations that strengthen the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem. There is a specific focus on empowering female and minority founders.

This Workplace Is a Family Now, Dammit
by Caitlin Kunkel, Brooke Preston, Fiona Taylor, and Carrie Wittmer
"This film set is going to be just like a family for the next three months. As the director, I'm like the dad, and Dave the Director of Photography is like the mom, which is why I'll be constantly belittling him for his set choice and clothing in front of everyone."
"We're so glad you decided and/or were forced out of economic necessity to join the Uber family! Sure, you'll make less than you would have a few years ago when you were in a family that had a union, we'll insist in court that you're more of an 'independent-contractor' family member rather than a 'full-time' family member and you like it that way, but then show me a family that isn't dysfunctional and I'll show you a family that isn't scaling fast enough.
"We're so glad you joined the family at this underfunded public school. Remember, you're just like a mother or father figure to these kids. You teach them, take care of them, feed them, and oh yeah — take a bullet for them, even though your salary puts you right on the poverty line for this area. We're just your typical traditional family that preys on each other's altruism, and could be invaded unexpectedly at any minute by a crazed relative with a restraining order. Anyway, have a nut-free brownie!"
"At this trendy restaurant run by a big-name male chef, we're just one big ol' family of foodies. Yum, it's a family where everyone sleeps with everyone else and the dad gets in on the action, so it's a little V.C. Andrews (granted, with apology cinnamon rolls afterward!). Also, there's a rampant party culture that makes college frats look like amateurs, but the bright side? It makes you feel like maybe your real family is… sorta functional, after all."
"Here at Tesla, we're just a happy little family from the Valley. Sure, Elon exhibits some alarming behavior and we just have to smile and nod and act like everything's fine because he exercises a complicated form of legal control over us — but when you think about it, don't most families have dads with minority voting stakes they can leverage over the rest of the family? And don't make us turn this car around, because the nearest supercharger is over 100 miles away."
"This movie theater staff is truly a family. One of us is always going around cleaning up, turning off the lights and shushing people while the rest of us eat too much popcorn and watch the latest superhero-origin-story-villain-supergroup-crossover-mashup-sequel for the 17th time."
"We all know that journalism is a highly competitive field. But at this media-friendly family, we value our employees like we value our mothers. So that being said, you're all fired, and per your at-will contract, we don't have to give you a reason or any severance. Consider this a routine house-cleaning — and speaking of cleaning, you have ten minutes to clear out your desks and get the hell out of here! Love you! Rooting for you!"
"At this Chuck E. Cheese, we're all one big happy germy family run by a rat who serves pizza. Don't overthink it."
"Here at Twitter, we're a very large, very functional family with no discernible rules as to who gets kicked out versus who stays in. Most of us are totally inactive, a lot of us are posers, and our dad @Jack marks all his favorite kids with blue check marks. Like any family, when we're all at the table and someone starts sharing their toxic perspective, we usually punish the person who speaks up and objects. Papa @Jack likes to pretend that bots and Russian trolls haven't exerted any force on our democratic landscape — like most dads!"
"We, the cast and crew of this high school play, are now a family. We are forever fused into one passionate soul, and can never imagine a time when we will have to think for forty minutes before remembering the name of the boy we stage-kissed during Fiddler on the Roof. Now let's get to the cast party at Becki's to watch the play we literally just performed in 60 second Instagram stories — our family's equivalent of a home movie."
"You've seen the ads. When you're here, you're family. And look, families yell at each other. So, yeah, that's why I screamed at you in front of the entire Olive Garden Saturday night dinner crowd. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed that you spun the parmesan cheese grater a split-second after the guest said, 'when.' We'll get through this because we're family— at least until 11 pm. Also, I know your shift is over, but can you take out the linguini trash?"
"This university's English Department has a storied genealogy. We have the "kids" who borrow money to be here, we have the "moms," who serve on all the committees and we have the "dads" who teach one class a term, have to be reminded not to have sex with the kids, and publish a book every two years."
"This hedge fund is going to be the most fucking family family that ever familied, you family fuck!!! We're like every WASPy family: our darkest secrets and lies are rotting our very foundation, but we resist any regulation that would bring them into the light. The family that does cocaine together stays together — at the top of modern American capitalist society!!!
"Here at Arby's, we're a family now and forever. Because once you've seen how a BACON BEEF 'N CHEDDAR is really made, that's it — you're bonded for life."

Mastering the 'Lazy' Mindset

Using GulpJS

Joe Skeen

Intermountain Healthcare

So what do you mean by 'lazy'?

from the Oxford Dictionary:

						"Unwilling to work or use energy"

from Joe's dictionary:

						"Unwilling to work or use energy
						on things machines can already do for you"

for example

Web development is easy!

All you have to know how to do is...

...and you need to remember to do all of them in the right order.

Every time.

The Lazy Way

Let a tool manage all that for you

Can Help

Automate Repetitive Tasks

Reduce Human Error

Improve Practices

Before we get ahead of ourselves

When is Gulp not a good choice?

					Adequate task automation is already available

					There is very little to automate (if Gulp would be overkill)

When to use Gulp?

Your project doesn't have task automation

Your project's existing task automation is limiting your productivity

You are creating a seed project or a generator

Gulp Basics

					Gulp runs tasks from a Gulpfile

					(gulpfile.js, gulpfile.ts, gulpfile.coffee, etc.)

					gulp.task defines a task

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/q/index.d.ts"
							]' language="javascript">

						</monaco-editor>

gulp.src takes source files and creates a stream of file objects

gulp.dest writes the transformed source files back to disk

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/q/index.d.ts"
							]'>

						</monaco-editor>

Call .pipe() on the stream to add a transform step for the files

					Image Source

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/q/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/vinyl/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-uglify/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/uglify-js/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-concat/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/source-map/index.d.ts"
							]'>

						</monaco-editor>

Call .pipe() on the stream to add a transform step for the files

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/q/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/vinyl/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-ng-annotate/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-sourcemaps/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-tslint/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-typescript/index.d.ts"
							]'>

						</monaco-editor>

Gulp plugins give you many options for transforming your files

gulpjs.com/plugins

Gulp tasks can depend on other tasks

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/q/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/vinyl/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-ng-annotate/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-sourcemaps/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-tslint/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-typescript/index.d.ts"
							]'>

						</monaco-editor>

gulp.watch() will watch the files for changes then execute one or more tasks

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/q/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/vinyl/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-ng-annotate/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-sourcemaps/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-tslint/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/gulp-typescript/index.d.ts"
							]'>

						</monaco-editor>

Where do we start?

						the most successful lazy people understand the problem they are avoiding

The problem

					Building a production-quality web app requires a lot of steps

					*for the purposes of this discussion we'll talk about building an Angular 1.x app with TypeScript

High-Level Objectives

serve up code while developing

run tests (unit tests and/or ui tests)

optimize / bundle app for production

serve up production version for prerelease testing

deal with the backend server (Node, Java, etc.)

How would I do the process manually?

Development

make a code change and save  - watch for changes

lint the code  - script files

compile the TS to JS  - script files

run ngAnnotate  - script files

compile SASS to CSS  - style files

inject script references into HTML file  - index

serve the code  - live reload

verify the results

					Handle Script Files

						<monaco-editor reference='[

							]'>

						</monaco-editor>

					Inject files into Index

						<monaco-editor reference='[
								"/typings/globals/gulp/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/orchestrator/index.d.ts",
								"/typings/globals/node/index.d.ts",

					Pat yourself on the back

					The best lazy people

Don't reinvent the wheel

					If someone has already found a good solution,
adapt it to your own use case!

					Here's one I made earlier

					github.com/joeskeen/ngExamples (mars-ts folder)

Now it's your turn!

npm install -g gulp-cli

npm install --save-dev gulp

Universal School Meals: Putting Child Health Back on the Front Foot
Posted by: Guest Author
By Amberley T. Ruetz, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Saskatchewan & Co-Chair of the Canadian Association for Food Studies' School Food Working Group and Terence Hamilton, Domestic Policy Specialist, UNICEF Canada & Director, Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children.
It isn't always easy to be a kid—or for that matter, a parent responsible for one. But we can all agree that over the last few years, it's grown increasingly harder.
From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the months of missed education that accompanied it, through steep inflation and significant increases in the cost of living, to a banner year for RSV and influenza infections that has many pediatric healthcare systems on the brink of collapse; childhood in Canada since 2019 has been defined by a series of rolling crises.
Certainly, an acute crisis like the one facing our pediatric hospitals requires a swift response. But that doesn't mean we can take our eye off the big picture when it comes to child health equity in this country. Child health has been on the back foot for a long time in Canada. More than a decade ago, a House of Commons Standing Committee report found that youth today may be the first generation to have sicker, shorter lives than their parents.
Globally, Canada has fallen to 30th out of 38 high-income countries in the UNICEF report card series on child well-being.
At some point, we have to start thinking differently about our children's health. The federal government's public consultation towards establishing the first-ever pan-Canadian School Food Policy, which closes on Friday December 16th, represents an opportunity to do just that.
Currently, over one-third of schools in Canada offer breakfast, lunch and/or snacks free of charge to JK-12 students. As stated in the government's online consultation questionnaire, "the Pan-Canadian School Food Policy will help set out a path for a future where more children can receive nutritious food at school."
Most people think of school meals as charity provided to children who might otherwise be unable to eat. They do that, of course, but a National School Food Program could and should be so much more. It can be a means to instill life-long healthy eating habits, for children to learn about where food comes from and how to prepare it, and to participate in culture and community.
To achieve all that, Canada's National School Food Program should be universal, health-promoting, and non-stigmatizing.
It should provide and celebrate culturally diverse and appropriate foods. Ideally, there should be a focus on local and regional food production, and food and health literacy. A well-designed program would lead not only to healthier children, but healthier economies, ecosystems, and communities as well.
Food is a part of every single student's school day. For some, that means a wholesome breakfast with family before catching the bus. For others, it's grabbing some fast food with friends down the street from their school. Maybe it is a quick apple or granola bar as they rush between one classroom and the next. And for too many, of course, school food is defined by its absence—their hunger causing them to be short with a friend, or to struggle to pay attention after lunch.
Schools aren't just teaching students grammar and arithmetic. They're also teaching the next generation about what it means to live in our society. Apart from maybe universal healthcare, public schools are the single most important equity-supporting institutions we've got. What we make time for in our schools shows students what it is we value. If healthy, culturally-appropriate, environmentally-responsible, shared mealtimes are made a part of their school day, they're all the more likely to make them a part of their lives as well.
It isn't always easy to focus on the big picture when faced with such immediate challenges. Instead of constantly patching leaks, we need to be building resilient institutions that put child health back on the front foot.

Ian Thorpe, Olympic Swimmer, to Reportedly Come Out as Gay During Australian Television Interview
Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe will reportedly come out as gay during an Australian television interview on Sunday, July 13, the Sunday Telegraph reports Graham Denholm/Getty Images
Ian Thorpe is coming out in a big way. Australia's most decorated Olympic swimmer is set to come out as gay during an Australian television interview on Sunday, July 13, the Sunday Telegraph reports.
PHOTOS: Inspiring coming out stories
Thorpe, 31, sat down with British TV personality Sir Michael Parkinson recently for a tell-all interview. In a 25-second teaser video, Parkinson is seen asking Thorpe: "You've always said that you're not gay—is all that true?"

Speculation swirled back in 2007 that Thorpe was in a long-term relationship with fellow Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard. Her management, however, denied the claim two years later. "Take out the word relationship and put in the word friendship and that's exactly what it was," Beard reportedly told her agent via news.com.au.
PHOTOS: Stars choose their Olympic sports
Thorpe has won five gold medals and 11 world championship victories. In April, he made headlines again when he was hospitalized for a serious infection following a second shoulder operation. In an update, his agent James Erskine told Us Weekly "he is not in intensive care, and his spirits are good" at the time.


Washington, Apr 11 (efe-epa).- The extension of the deadline for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union to Oct. 31 eliminates the risk of an exit without an agreement, a situation that could have been "a terrible outcome," IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said Thursday.
"At least (the) UK is not leaving on April 12 without a deal. It gives time for continued discussions between the various parties involved in the UK," said Lagarde at the first formal press conference held during the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Spring Meetings being held in Washington.
"It probably gives time for economic agents to better prepare for all options, particularly industrialists and workers, in order to try to secure their future," she added. "A no-deal Brexit would have been a terrible outcome."
The top IMF official emphasized that the Brexit postponement does not fully resolve the situation but rather only delays it, but at least it offers the parties more time to continue with their discussions on how Britain can best make the break.
The Fund on Tuesday scaled back its economic growth forecasts for the UK to 1.2 percent for this year and 1.4 percent in 2020, saying that the uncertainty surrounding Brexit is one of the factors weighing on the global economy.
The 26 countries that will remain in the EU after Britain's exit agreed to grant London the extension to Oct. 31, which is midway between the short extension France had lobbied for and the longer one favored by Germany.
After an extraordinary summit that concluded on Thursday morning after several hours of discussion, the 26 agreed on the new Brexit schedule, which includes an intermediate evaluation of the process at the bloc's regular summit in June.
The mandate of the current European Commission ends on Oct. 31 also, and thus London would not be part of a new EC.
British Prime Minister Theresa May had requested an extension until June 30, while the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, had said he was in favor of an extension of a year, at the longest, to allow the UK to leave the EU as soon as it is ready and meaning, in effect, that London would have to take part in the upcoming Europe-wide elections.
May's request to delay the withdrawal until June 30 was aimed at allowing time for deal to be approved by Parliament, which has rejected her Brexit proposal on three occasions.


It's important to note that raising your score is a bit like losing weight: It takes time and there is no quick fix. In fact, quick-fix efforts can backfire. The best advice is to manage credit responsibly over time.
High outstanding debt can affect a score.
This approach could backfire and actually lower score.
FICO® scores distinguish between a search for a single loan and a search for many new credit lines, in part by the length of time over which inquiries occur.
Don't open accounts just to have a better credit mix - it probably won't raise your score.
In general, having credit cards and installment loans (and paying timely payments) will raise your score. Someone with no credit cards, for example, tends to be higher risk than someone who has managed credit cards responsibly.

Countries Accuse Costa Rica of Serious Trade Violations
Chrissie Long September 27, 2010 September 27, 2010
Thirty-five countries have filed complaints against Costa Rica for the extent to which it subsidizes its agricultural sector.
Representatives from at least eight countries spoke out against the Central American nation yesterday at a meeting of the World Trade Organization's Agriculture Committee. They accused Costa Rica of violating international trade agreements and threatened to apply sanctions.
According to Foreign Trade Minister Anabel González, Costa Rica is allowed to provide $15.9 million annually in domestic agricultural subsidies. In 2007, Costa Rica gave the farming sector $23 million, and that number grew to $62 million in 2008 and $92 million in 2009. For 2010, González projects subsidies to be at $100 million. The subsidies are concentrated in the production of rice, which is the only agricultural product for which the government sets prices.
"This is a serious issue," González said, "and it has to be dealt with seriously. We have obligations to the international community."
U.S. representatives said the violation has passed from being within a "gray area" into clear noncompliance.
However, when pressured to propose a solution during a press conference on Friday, González said only that this issue would be a "priority" in coming months.
"When a country commits to international agreements, when it has benefited from the agreements, when it knows the rules and when it has violated them, it stands to lose," she said.

Washington — Representatives of National Assembly President Juan Guaidó, who has been recognized by the U.S. and more than four dozen countries as Venezuela's legitimate leader, said they took control of three diplomatic offices in Washington and New York that were formerly operated by the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
Touring an abandoned diplomatic facility operated by Venezuela's military attaché, Carlos Vecchio, Guaidó's ambassador to the U.S, said the opposition had gained control of two defense ministry facilities in Washington and one consular building in New York with the backing of U.S. authorities. He added that he expects officials loyal to Guaidó to gain control of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood "in the days to come."
"They destroyed everything. That's what they have done here. They have destroyed this house. This is an asset that belonged to the Venezuelans," Vecchio told reporters Monday after replacing a portrait of Maduro on the building's wall with one of Guaidó. "If they do this in U.S., you can imagine what they are doing in Venezuela."
Vecchio was accompanied by Colonel José Luis Silva Silva, Venezuela's military attaché in Washington and one of the few high-ranking Venezuelan armed forces officials to defect and back the opposition.
The move by Guaidó's representatives will likely escalate tensions between Maduro's government and the Trump administration, which along with recognizing Guaidó, has imposed sweeping sanctions against the South American regime and pledged to spend millions in humanitarian aid for the Venezuelan people. With a collapsing economy, many Venezuelans are grappling with food and medicine shortages.
When President Trump announced his support for the opposition in January, Maduro severed ties with the U.S. and ordered all diplomatic staff in America to come back to Venezuela. After withdrawing non-essential staff in January, the U.S. ordered all remaining diplomatic personnel to leave the South American country last week.
Jorge Arreaza, Venezuela's foreign minister, denounced the "forceful and illegal seizure" by Guaidó's representatives, saying it was a violation of the guidelines established by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Arreaza urged the U.S. government to prevent the opposition from taking control of diplomatic facilities and in a thinly-veiled threat of a similar takeover of the U.S. embassy in Caracas, he said Maduro's government could take "reciprocal" actions in Venezuelan territory.
Through anti-government demonstrations, efforts to bring humanitarian aid into Venezuela and the backing of the U.S. and other countries, Guaidó hopes to force Maduro to relinquish power. But for now, top military leaders in Venezuela have vowed to stand behind the socialist government — which still enjoys some support, particularly among working-class Venezuelans.


At the "Fedora User and Developer Conference" (FUDCon) this weekend in Raleigh, Spevack held the traditional opening speech on the current status of the free distribution to just over 150 participants. In a blog entry posted just before the conference, Spevack said goodbye to "one of the coolest jobs you can have", reviewing his time as project leader.
Spevack took over as project leader in February 2006, shortly after the Fedora Core 5 release, and kept the free distribution moving through four releases. Spevack refers to merging the "Core" and "Extras" developer branches to form a single repository as the major technical achievement in this period, and points to new software tools that help users to develop customized versions of Fedora.
documentation, packaging, marketing, news, and artwork teams. He also served as one of the inaugural members of the Fedora Project Board." In the first few months, Spevack will be around to assist Frields, and he will be continuing to work on Fedora development. Fedora ambassador Jack Aboutboul will be more involved in marketing the free distribution in future: he was recently taken on by Red Hat's marketing division.
Spevack announced his departure as the Fedora project leader back in December but he will continue to work for Fedora's main sponsor, Red Hat. Just recently there was another change at the head of the Linux company, when Red Hat CEO Szulik surprisingly resigned in December to be succeeded by James Whitehurst January 1.

Hero Image. Every Research Article and Outlook published is invited to be highlighted for several days on the Web page with a large focal image. These images are different than the TOC graphic, in that their aim is not necessarily to educate readers about the conclusions or experimental set-up of the paper, but rather to be incredibly visually pleasing and eye-catching to direct traffic to the story. At revision, we appreciate input about visual representation of your paper (draft image, sketch, or text description of desired image). The best results are obtained by submitting artwork that will fit into the 2.87:1 aspect ratio at 72 dpi (minimum 1034 x 360 px) and RGB color mode. Alternatively, figures may be cropped or enlarged to fit that proportion. Pixel based images may be supplied as layered Photoshop files (PSD), uncompressed JPEG, or TIF. Vector images may be submitted as Adobe Illustrator (AI), EPS or PDF.
Naming and Numbering. Name your graphics Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. (Arabic numerals), consecutively, and for figures not embedded in the text, place a call-out in the main manuscript text where the graphic should be located. Boldface Arabic numerals should be used for numbering structures.
Lettering. Lettering should be ≥6 points, and lines should have ≥0.5-point thickness at final printed size. Lettering and lines should be of uniform density.
Titles, Footnotes, Captions, Legends. Schemes may have titles and footnotes. Figures must have captions. To save space, place legends for graphs within the main body of the graphic, whenever possible.
Advancing scientific discoveries can be enhanced when data and materials are made available and readily exchanged. ACS Central Science requires for all published articles that authors make materials, data, and protocols available to readers through deposition in a public database.

A: I'm not sure what happened in the comments, but I've figured out the root of the problem and I'm answering this just to clarify for any future readers.
@zneak is right. If you try and echo $_ENV["PATH"] and receive nothing in response, this means that PHP is executing gcc and any other executables without looking for them in a PATH variable. As a result, it sometimes can't find any of them. @Marco interpreted as echoing the PATH variable in bash, and executed echo $PATH instead. However, these two variables are separate, and often the PHP PATH is unset while the bash PATH is.
In order to fix this issue, you'll have to define PATH for PHP in its environment variables. If you're unsure what to put, refer to the PATH variable defined in bash. For example, my current Laravel project has the line
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
at the bottom of it's .env file, and now executing just gcc (without giving the full path /usr/bin/gcc) works correctly.

Te Kura a Rohe o Whaingaroa - Raglan Area School
Leadership within the community
Principal Louisa Barham says involving the community in decision making and communicating in an open and transparent way helped manage the anxiety experienced within the community as a result of Covid-19.
Board presiding member Lisa Thomson (left) and principal Louisa Barham (right)
In the Whaingaroa/Raglan community, people not only live, work and learn together, but they rely on each other. Therefore, when the pandemic took hold, the community rallied together with a collective response, with Raglan Area School playing a central role.
Raglan is a diverse community with people who hold strong views and are not afraid to share them. Being the only school in Raglan, principal Louisa Barham understands the value of working together and being well connected to the community "as everyone is connected here… I just love that."
Prior to the pandemic, vaccinations for school children had already been a contentious topic and required Louisa and her Board to tread with care in responding to genuine whānau concerns. Messaging had to be overt, informative and communicated with opportunities through hui, for whānau to ask questions, comment and share their views. This approach worked well and ensured community voice was considered.
In the lead-up to the first lockdown in 2020, Louisa says, "There was a lot of fear in the community and many felt that a community approach would be beneficial, with a number of organisations and community members doing a lot of thinking about the unprecedented challenges in front of us that were happening so quickly. I knew we needed to find time to talk with each other and I wanted to get the community leaders together."
In close partnership with the Board presiding member Lisa Thomson, the Whaingaroa Response group was formed with involvement from iwi, community leaders, representatives from key organisations (e.g. police and health authorities), the local business chamber and anyone else who had the influence within the community. The purpose of the group was to make sense of the current situation, interpret the available information, and then decide on an appropriate response and coordinate the tasks to be actioned.
One of the outcomes of initial hui was that at very short notice the school was used as a community testing station and later, a vaccination centre. School staff and community volunteers acted as ambassadors and were visible and available when cars arrived at the centre. Lisa says, "that having friendly and trustworthy faces to welcome
people made a real difference". They would have conversations with people in their cars and if they were still unsure, the volunteers could refer them to local health professionals who were also helping. To have 1500+ members of their community vaccinated in a very short period of time was an impressive achievement.
Louisa and Lisa felt that the best way to deal with the ongoing anxiety and fear within their school community was to approach it in the open and transparent way that they would typically engage with whānau. "All we had to do is facilitate and listen." By way of hui and associated emails, the health authority messages were very clearly communicated, while at the same time there were opportunities for whānau to seek further clarification, ask questions, and share opposing views. They believe that allowing whānau to have equal time meant that people's options were kept open, their choices were respected and they felt valued as members of the school community.
Louisa is grateful for the support that the community provided with the distribution of digital devices and improving internet accessibility. She is also proud of the work her staff have achieved but also shares that "we had some really difficult moments here", especially when they had to comply with the vaccination mandate. "Good employees and good friendships were impacted."
Raglan Area School, and particularly Louisa and Lisa, have clearly been at the centre of the successful response to Covid-19 within the community. A consequence of their passion for the community, has been that community groups have been able to further align their goals, working together with negotiated and targeted actions and being authentically connected.
Louisa says, "Our community groups have committed engagers, people who genuinely care and who want to make a real difference for our community."

It's unfortunate the Buick LaCrosse finds itself lost in a maze-like market thrilled with crossovers and utility vehicles. From my first drive of the 2017 Buick LaCrosse, I felt Buick had a serious contender on its hands. However, the LaCrosse has languished on dealership lots—not because it's a poorly executed sedan, but because that's simply not the market's taste right now.
Buick will try to reinvigorate the LaCrosse for 2018 with a new entry-level model: the 2018 Buick LaCrosse eAssist, which utilizes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and GM's mild-hybrid system. GM Authority had the opportunity to drive the 2018 LaCrosse eAssist at the Midwest Automotive Media Association's fall rally, which attracts a flock of media professionals from across the region for a day of driving the industry's newest cars.

YL of the Month 2018
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH - DEPARTURE BERGEN
The participants at this tour were; Unni LA6RHA, Ingrid LA8FOA, Anita SM6FXW, Arne SE-SWL, Solveig SM6KAT, Bengt SM6GDU, Gertrud DK8LQ, Horst DJ9FC, Ann-Marie SA6YLQ, Irene VK2VAN, Sallie AB5YL, Eva HB9FPM, Andreas HB9JOE, Anne LA-SWL.
We all met at the Hurtigruten terminal in Bergen, where Ingrid handed out the Boarding cards before boarding the ship. We had reserved table for dinner every evening, but for breakfast and lunch there were free seating.
MS Trollfjord left Bergen at half past ten on Monday and would be in Kirkenes on the Sunday after.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH – ÅLESUND – HJØRUNDFJORDEN – ÅLESUND
The Hjørundfjord is said to be one of the most untouched, idyllic and beautiful fjords in Norway. It is a 35-kilometre long arm of the larger Storfjorden in the district of Sunnmøre in Western Norway. The Hjørundfjord is surrounded by the Sunnmøre Alps, with peaks that reach up to 1 700 metres straight up from the fjord.
The steep mountains plunging right down in the fjord have made it impossible to cultivate the land area. Most of the natural vegetation is still intact. Although there is not much space for settlements here, a few obstinate tiny farms cling to the mountain sides and there are some small villages along the fjord such as Urke with a population of 1060. When in Hjørundfjord, you can explore the region further during the "A Taste of Norway" excursion. You will be departing by bus from Urke, drive through one of the wildest and narrowest valleys of the country, see the remains of an ancient settlement that was lost as the result of a huge landslide more than a hundred years ago, and visit the historic and charming Union Hotel Øye.
The name of the fjord probably derives from the Old Norse word for "sword" (hjorr), because the shape of the fjord can be compared with that of a sword. Another theory is that is named after the stone formation "Hjørungane" situated at the mouth of the fjord.
Ålesund is mostly known for its unique Art Nouveau architecture, which was in fact the result of a disaster. In 1904, the larger part of Ålesund was destroyed in a devastating fire. In an act of excellent foresight, it was decided to rebuild the town entirely in Art Nouveau, the fashionable style of the time. Most of this beauty has been preserved. If you look up as you explore the town, you will be enchanted by the rounded towers, sinuous lines and foliate forms typical of Art Nouveau.
By the picturesque harbour you find the landmark Holmbua. This warehouse, built in 1861, escaped the great fire and now holds the fisheries exhibitions of Ålesund Museum. Experience the exciting displays and learn more about the town's production of dried cod and other fish produce. A trip to Aksla Mountain in the middle of the town is a must. Walk the 418 steps to the top and you will be rewarded by unforgettable panoramic views. The Art Nouveau Centre in Ålesund documents the town's unique architectural history. Enjoy the fascinating history that brings you back to the fire in 1904. Take a stroll through the many rooms in the building known as "The Swan Pharmacy" and be mesmerized by the beauty of the authentic décor.
The Borgund market town from the Viking era is a part of the Sunnmøre Museum, in the area known as Borgundgavlen. The Museum is about 10 minutes by car east of the town centre. It is a unique open-air museum with 55 old and distinct houses. Just a few minutes away you find Ålesund Aquarium, one of the largest saltwater aquariums in northern Europe. Enjoy close encounters with the rich marine life that can be found in and around the coastal waters of Norway.
As you walk around exploring the city, you can enjoy a good selection of restaurants, pubs and cafés, whether you are looking for a gourmet meal, a good patisserie or a delicious coffee.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH – TRONDHEIM
10:00–13.15
A large city by Norwegian standards, Trondheim has still managed to preserve the charm and intimacy of a small town. After a catastrophic fire destroyed most of the city houses in 1681, the new streets were made wide to prevent fires from spreading. Some of the narrow alleys and streets, many originating in the Middle Ages, still exist, contrasting the wide boulevards from the 1600s. Even today Trondheim is known as one of the typical wooden cities of Europe, and the city centre has many special wooden buildings, some built as far back as the 1700s.
Trondheim has a strong position as the centre of trade for central Norway. NTNU (the Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Trondheim's internationally renowned university, and the city's many research communities ensure that it is a city of innovation and development of science, business and industry ventures. The students add a youthful exuberance to this thousand-year old city. While not a large metropolis, Trondheim's location and opportunities put it on an equal footing with the major cities of Europe.
Trondheim has a rich cultural life with an international flavour and is a popular destination for pilgrimages. This historic city has a lot to offer. Take a stroll to see for yourself. Start at the Old Town Bridge and follow the path that heads south through the park next to the river Nid. The cathedral is on your right with the Archbishop's Palace that contains one of the best museums in Norway. The path brings you to Hadrian's place and the legendary St Olav's spring.
Bakklandet is Trondheim's old quarter and lies on the eastern side of the Nidelva. It is most easily reached by crossing Gamle Bybru from the town centre. The old wooden buildings, originally workers' houses, have now been restored and converted into flats, shops and restaurants.
Nidaros Cathedral is the world's northernmost cathedral, and Norway's national sanctuary. Construction began in 1070 over the shrine of Saint Olav. Nidaros was an important Christian pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages. Norway's coronation regalia are displayed in the Archbishop's Palace.
Trondheim is reputed to be the town in Norway with the most restaurants and cafes per person. You can find something for every taste and wallet. Local food is popular, and local farmers supply the town restaurants with fresh ingredients.
If Trondheim is your last stop, you can make a little detour from Trondheim on your way to Oslo and enjoy 2 nights in a traditional hotel at the World Heritage Site Røros.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH – BODØ – CROSSING POLAR CIRCLE
Surrounded by sea and fjord, the light in Bodø constantly shifts with the wind and weather. And then there's the exotic fact that both the midnight sun and northern lights can be seen from here. Bodø is the capital of Nordland county and lies just north of the Arctic Circle where the midnight sun is visible from 2 June to 10 July. Due to atmospheric refraction, there is no true polar night in Bodø, but because of the mountains south of Bodø, the sun is not visible from the city from early December to early January. Monthly average number of sun hours in Bodø peaks in June with 221 hours.
Another unique feature is the closeness to the countryside and the sea. Combine an urban espresso with salty sea rafting and mountain walking. Choose between concerts and exhibitions and then jump right into your kayak or onto your off-road bike. The city is well known for its hospitality and hosts one of Norway's most lively student communities.
The strongest tidal current in the world, Saltstraumen, with water speeds reaching 22 knots, is situated just southeast of Bodø. Kjerringøy is a well-preserved old trading village on the coast just north of Bodø. With its scenic setting and authentic buildings, several movies have been shot at this little port.
In connection with crossing the Arctic circle the crew on MS Trollfjord had a ceremony on deck 9 for all passengers. The ceremony consisted of being baptized by receiving a scoop of ice water down the neck with a blessing.
This was also a special day for Gertrud DK8LQ. It was her birthday. Gertrud and Horst invited our group for a glass of champagne before the ceremony. The group sang the Birthday song in English and in Norwegian.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH – TROMSØ
Tromsø's numerous attractions include wildlife and impressive vistas, as well as history, culture and daring architecture. Often described as the Paris of the north, Tromsø offers a lively nightlife, friendly locals and a range of restaurants specializing in the fresh produce of the region. The city centre offers great shopping - from locally made specialties to Nordic and international brands.
When it comes to attractions and activities, Tromsø is something out of the ordinary. The city's most recognizable landmark is the Arctic Cathedral. It was built in 1965, featuring a huge original stained-glass mosaic. Take the Fjellheisen Cable Car to the top of the Fløyfjellet Mountain (420 m) and enjoy breath-taking views of the city, mountains and fjords. The experience centre Polaria lies five minutes from the city centre. Here you'll find an Arctic aquarium, interesting knowledge-based exhibits, a panoramic cinema and a gift and souvenir shop. If you like plants and flowers you should visit the world's northernmost Botanical Garden, run by the University of Tromsø, where you also find the University museum of Tromsø. It shows the depth of North Norwegian nature and culture, focusing on the indigenous Sami culture, as well as archaeology, religious arts, geology and the northern lights, all in a family-friendly manner.
Tromsø was the starting point for several Arctic expeditions back in the day, when sealers and hunters roamed the streets. In a traditional wharf house from the 1830s, you'll find the Polar Museum where you can learn more about Tromsø's polar history. You can also visit the world's northernmost brewery, Mack, and have a taste of the products they make at Ølhallen.
Tromsø is situated almost 400km north of the Arctic Circle, but its climate is pleasantly moderated by the Gulf Stream. The long winter darkness, with loads of snow and skies lit up by the northern lights, is perfect for winter activities like dogsledding and skiing. While the midnight sun and endless summer nights are excellent for hiking or kayaking.
If you are planning to stay a while in Tromsø, we recommend our pre and post programme to Sommarøy Island for a nature experience out of the ordinary. Or if you want some more action, how about an overnight stay in a Sami Lavvo with reindeer sledding.
The dinner this day was special. The group was having a 3 courses extra good dinner in the ala carte restaurant on the ship. This was really appreciated.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH – HONNINGSVÅG – NORDKAPP
Honningsvåg with 2800 inhabitants is the capital of the North Cape. Walking through Honningsvåg you'll find excellent shops, Arctic dining experiences and other exciting activities. Check out the Perleporten Kulturhus (the local cultural centre), the Once Upon A Dream art gallery, and the Artico Ice Bar. A visit to the church is highly recommended: it was the only building left standing in Honningsvåg at the end of World War II.
Naturally, the most popular attraction in Honningsvåg is a visit to the North Cape. Stand at the edge of the cliff with the iconic globe monument and gaze across the ocean. Only the Svalbard Islands separate you from the North Pole. With clean, crisp air and vistas that extend to where the sea meets the horizon, North Cape feels like the end of the world. So, it's no surprise that the cliff is a major tourist attraction. In fact, the first tourist arrived here in 1664, and visitors have been coming ever since. It is known as Europe's northernmost point, making it a destination for all world travelers. Kinnarodden and Knivskjellodden are both a little farther north, but North Cape is more accessible. Due to its location, the Cape ranks among the great places to watch the northern lights. There is also a visitor centre here with modern facilities. Inside, visitors will find a museum and a restaurant that serves finger food and beverages.
In the summer, visitors might encounter the indigenous Sami people before witnessing the midnight sun. In the spring, the Norwegian Army's landing craft transport around 3,800 reindeer across the Magerøy Strait to their summer pastures on Magerøy Island. However, during the autumn, when it is time for the reindeer to return to the snow-clad plains of Karasjok, the animals and their calves swim across the 1,800 m wide strait.
Gjesværstappan, one of the biggest bird cliffs in Norway is located due west of the North Cape and is home to an impressive variety of species. Almost 1 million puffins live there, along with numerous northern gannets, cormorants, kittiwakes, common guillemots and northern fulmar.
This was the last day on MS Trollfjord and this day the dinner consists a big buffet of every kind of seafood. This was a great way to end the tour with Hurtigruten.
After dinner we went to a meeting room, which Ingrid had booked for the group. Andreas HB9JOE has offered to do a power point presentation that explained what SOTA was. Andreas and Eva HB9FPM is very keen members of the SOTA group.
In addition to Andreas presentation a representative from the "bridge" on MS Trollfjord came and held a presentation about the communication on board. Ingrid and Unni has asked for this several times and at last they succeeded.
The group was very pleased with both presentations. The evening was no less successful by the announcement from the captain that it was now possible to see the Northern Lights if we went out on the deck.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH – KIRKENES
Kirkenes is in the extreme north-eastern part of Norway on the Bøkfjord, a branch of the Varangerfjord, near the Russian border. We're about 400 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle and as far east as St. Petersburg. Most of the approximately 7,000 inhabitants are of Norwegian background, while a minority is Sami. Others originate from Finland and some 500 immigrants have recently arrived from Russia.
In Kirkenes you will notice strong bonds and cultural influences from Russia. A prominent example is the Russian Monument – a memorial for the liberation of Sør-Varanger by the Red Army in the autumn of 1944. There is a Russian market in Kirkenes once a month. Road signs are written in both Norwegian and Russian. The Russian border can be visited either by bus riverboat, or ATV/Quad. The Grenselandmuseet exhibits permanent and temporary exhibitions from the border area. The Art Museum Savio is built up around the well-known Sami artist John Andreas Savio (1902-1938), with art depicting the Sami reindeer herders, culture and nature in the north.
The nature in and around Kirkenes is different from the rest of Norway. Many eastern plant species grow here that are rare or non-existent in other parts of Norway. The forest in Pasvik originates from the Siberian taiga; the world's largest continuous forest area. Even the wildlife has many eastern elements, especially among the bird species. You will find all the major predators in the municipality. Best known is the brown bear, and the Pasvik Valley is the home of around 20 of them. Kirkenes is also the home of wolverine and lynx. Wolves are observed on rare occasions, but these are only stray animals coming from Russia. Your chances are much higher of seeing reindeer and elk. The Barents Sea is home to the huge King Crab.
In winter and spring Kirkenes is the home of a fantastic snow hotel, and activities like snowmobiling and dog sledding are popular. Activities in summer include boat trips, hiking, fishing, canoeing, climbing and diving.
If Kirkenes is your city of departure or arrival before your expedition with Hurtigruten, you can explore more of the area as part of our pre/post-voyage programmes. Spend the night outside in the Polar wilderness on our overnight snowmobile tour or husky tour. If this is too extreme, how about an Arctic experience in the Snow hotel or a traditional Sami hut called Gamme. On a King Crab Safari, you will have the chance to meet and eat this gigantic - and delicious - crab.
During the tour on Hurtigruten, LA6RHA had contact with Uno, LA4YUA, the leader of the Kirkenes group of NRRL, LA2K. He and Jens, SWL (originally from Germany), came to our hotel in Kirkenes and those who wanted followed them to their clubhouse. Horst, Gertrud, Irene, Eva and Andreas had stars in their eyes when they returned after trying out radio. The group had dinner together at the hotel this evening.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH – DEPARTURE KIRKENES
After breakfast at the hotel most of the group went to the airport to take the plane home. Irene, Eva and Andreas were staying in Kirkenes for one more day.
SYLRA meeting 2019 and optional tour were over.

Zero Skateboards is a skateboard company located in Carlsbad, California, United States (US). The brand was founded by professional skateboarder and entrepreneur Jamie Thomas, and distributed by his Black Box Distribution company. In late June, 2014, Thomas announced that the brand will be distributed by the Dwindle Distribution company, based in El Segundo, California, US.
The Zero brand was originally a clothing company, formed in 1996, and subsequently evolved into a skateboard company, with Thomas leaving Toy Machine to become Zero's first professional team rider.
In early 2003, Thomas opened a plant in Tijuana, Mexico, named "Edieth and Osuna", to manufacture the skateboard decks of the Black Box brands. Zero team rider Chris Cole was a shareholder of the company from 2011 to 2014.
The company has released seven videos, with the premiere of the latest release, Cold War, occurring on November 8, 2013. The premiere was held at the La Paloma theater in Encinitas, California, US and Thomas invited every Zero rider, former and current, onto the stage prior to the showing of the 40-minute video.
