Autism Education Center
The focus of the Autism Education Center (AEC) is helping individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to become fully integrated members of their communities. The center is committed to developing and supporting the use of evidence-based practices in partnership with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, educational providers, health care professionals, and community stakeholders to ensure that individuals with ASD receive evidence-based information, support, and services that will assist them throughout their lives.
The primary work of the AEC is conducted through the Statewide Autism Resources and Training Project (START), a state-funded grant project designed to provide training and technical assistance to educators in Michigan who serve students with ASD. The START Project has been in place since 2001 through the support of the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Special Education. The START Project serves as a coordinating and supporting entity for schools across the State of Michigan to better service students with ASD. One major emphasis of the START Project is coordination of 17 regional collaborative networks that serve as the infrastructure for collaboration and coordination across school districts, intermediate school districts, and community stakeholders, allowing shared training and resources and systemic planning on a broad scale that leads to more effective educational programming for students with ASD. The START Project addresses both the individual and system-wide needs of students with ASD including the classroom, building, district, and regional levels. All students with ASD have the right to a high-quality education and services that enhance their potential to become fully participating citizens. School professionals working with students with ASD learn to implement and promote evidence-based concepts and practices such as early intervention, educational supports and strategies, positive behavioral interventions and supports, teaming and collaboration, and peer supports. Educators also need to provide programming that prepares students with ASD for paid work and community integration in adulthood through early job experiences in the community. Throughout the educational process, parents are included as active, contributing members of any team supporting a student with ASD.
The AEC is involved in other projects to support individuals with ASD in the community, including facilitation of summer camp integration, the GVSU Campus Links program for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, implementation of the Michigan ASD State Plan, the development of the Autism Resources and Information Center website, program development with state autism organizations, and applied research projects. Presentations are provided to the community on various topics related to ASD.

Continuing Studies and School of Leadership associate faculty member Paul Mohapel was interviewed by Terry Moore of CFAX radio about the impact of technology, and cell phone use by children.
"The manual that psychiatrists and psychologists use to diagnose mental health disorders now includes a new one called internet addiction disorder," says Mohapel. "The aspect of what's addictive is distractiveness."


Modern life of today has become increasingly busy with work and family commitments. Due to this, it can be very, very hard to find the time to clean up your home or even find time for it to enjoy life. Unfortunately, this is a huge problem since creating a dirty home and dirty carpets can easily become a health hazard particularly if have kids. So, on this page we will be looking at the benefits of hiring a carpet cleaning company and the way to go about hiring one.
The very first benefit of hiring a carpet cleaners company is that they will literally purchase themselves. Imagine if you did not have to clean, how much an extension cord you could spend working and earning earnings. The cost to hire a cleaning company would be significantly less than your own hourly rate, which may make it a much wiser substitute for work more than hang around cleaning.
Another reason for you to hire carpet cleaners is because they have high grade, commercial cleaning machines that happen to be much more powerful that this typical home units that you can buy in retail stores. Which means that they will be able to clean your carpets on a professional level that would be a much superior clean than you could ever achieve yourself. Because of this you will be doing your home as well as your carpets a service by letting the carpet cleaners to thorough neat and sanitize your carpets. Furthermore, once they are done, your carpets will appear and feel brand-new.
Lastly, if you are concerned with hiring a company that will do a bad job or provide bad service, then you've got nothing to fear. Nowadays businesses are held more accountable of course, if a company has a bad reputation, you will be able to find numerous complaints and negative reviews online. So, before you hire a company, make sure to do a thorough review them online and only hire them whether they have positive reviews and are strongly suggested. In the worse case scenario, in the event you hire a crappy company, you can just end the job to see another cleaning company.
With this settled, you now see that is a much better idea to rent carpet cleaners than to clean yourself. So, we are going to now look at a few tips to help you find a good cleaning company. Among my best tips is that you only hire firms that have been personally recommended by trusted family and friends. In addition to this, make sure to check the prices with more than one carpet cleaning service company to ensure that you get the most value for your money.
In closing, we have just looked at main reasons why you should hire a carpet cleaner and how to go about doing so. It will save you time, energy, effort and in many cases money while giving your carpets an experienced clean that will last several months.

Unsettling Reflections on Trade, Immigration, and Democracy
by Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Winner of the 1998 Eccles Prize for Excellence in Economic Writing
Lively, sometimes contrary policy writings by one of our leading economists.
Winner of the 1998 Eccles Prize for Excellence in EconomicWritingA Stream of Windows offers a selection of Jagdish Bhagwati's recentpolicy writings, in which he forcefully opposes the demonization of Japan, challenges the bipartisan bashing of illegal immigrants, refutes the conventional view that democracy hinders development, and much more.
Jagdish N. Bhagwati is University Professor of Economics, Law, and International Relations at Columbia University and former Adviser to the Director General of GATT, Arthur Dunkel. He is the author (with Arvind Panagariya) of Why Growth Matters: How Economic Growth in India Reduced Poverty and the Lessons for Other Developing Countries.
This is a sparkling collection of recent policy writings by a most brilliant and versatile scholar, as well as a passionate and upright advocate of free trade and democracy.
Otto Graf Lambsdorff, former German Minister of Economics
Jagdish Bhagwati is that rare economist who thinks broadly and writes clearly. His high intelligence, lively style, and good humor are all in evidence in this collection.
Fareed Zakaria, Managing Editor, Foreign Affairs
In A Stream of Windows a most eminent economist of our times once again shows himself to be an outstanding opinion shaper and communicator for the benefit of the citizens of our global village.
Arthur Dunkel, former Director General of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
Jagdish Bhagwati is a giant among trade policy scholars. This book provides ample evidence for that assertion. The reader will be beguiled and informed by Bhagwati's rare combination of profound insight, mischievous wit, and elegant presentation.
Sylvia Ostry, Canadian Ambassador for Uruguay Round and Prime Minister's Personal Representative for the Economic Summit
Provocative and insightful, Jagdish Bhagwati's collection of policy writings presents a free trade agenda, based on solid theoretical grounds, that will surely be influential in the years to come.
Jaime Serra, Mexican Nafta Chief Negotiator
Although Mr. Bhagwati may be best known as a proponent of open trade, this volume will enhance his reputation as a proponent of open societies, in which free markets exist in a context of free human beings.... Anyone who reads this engaging description of the ways the world works will emerge a lot less confused and at least a little more optimistic.

U.S. soldier killed in Afghanistan identified
0 0 Saturday, October 6, 2018 Edit this post
© U.S. Army Spc. James A. Slape
By Justin Carissimo, CBS News
U.S. officials have identified the American soldier who was killed in Afghanistan earlier this week. The Department of Defense said Spc. James A. Slape, 23, from Morehead City, North Carolina, was killed on Thursday after suffering wounds from an improvised explosive device (IED).
Slape was assigned to 60th Troop Command, North Carolina Army National Guard. Officials said he was supporting Operation Freedom's Sentinel and promoted to a sergeant posthumously.
The incident is under investigation.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statement honoring Slape.
"On behalf of the people of North Carolina, I honor the service and sacrifice of Sgt. James Slape and offer our deepest sympathy to his loved ones and his fellow soldiers," Cooper said, according to CBS affiliate WFMY.
Slape joined the North Carolina National Guard in 2013 and graduated from the Explosive Ordnance School in 2015. His unit deployed to Afghanistan in April of this year, WFMY reports.
The U.S. military is mainly focused on supporting Afghan forces in the fight against extremist groups in eastern Afghanistan. There are roughly 14,000 American troops in Afghanistan. Seven U.S. service members have been killed in 2018, the Associated Press reports.
In September, a U.S. service member was killed in an apparent insider attack. The incident left another service member wounded.

Water vapor (H2O) is the strongest greenhouse gas in our atmosphere. Hence, accurate measurements and a correct representation in global models of H2O in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) are important for understanding and projecting climate. Here we compare balloon‐borne measurements of UTLS H2O, performed by cryogenic frostpoint hygrometers (CFH) and meteorological radiosondes (Vaisala RS41) during two intensive field campaigns in the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone region, with humidity data from three products of the European Centre for Medium‐range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF): operational analysis and forecast (termed OPERA), ERA‐Interim reanalysis, and the newly released ERA5 reanalysis. Taking CFH as a reference, we show that OPERA and ERA5 provide a more accurate representation of UTLS H2O than ERA‐Interim. In particular, OPERA and ERA5 similarly overestimate H2O mixing ratios by on average 0.7–0.8 ppmv (14–15%) and 0.7–0.9 ppmv (15–17%) at pressures 60–100 hPa, respectively, and both provide a good representation of the observed vertical distribution (including fine structures) and natural variability of UTLS H2O. In contrast, ERA‐Interim underestimates UTLS H2O by 0.6–1.7 ppmv (14–30%), and it fails to capture relevant features of the vertical distribution of UTLS H2O. At pressures (p) lower than 60 hPa, all three ECMWF products are in good agreement with CFH. Humidity measurements by RS41 show an average dry bias of 0.1–0.5 ppmv (3–9%) compared to CFH for 60–100 hPa, and a moist bias increasing with altitude for p < 60 hPa, exceeding 100% for p < 40 hPa.

The family has been introduced as a social institution or institution that results from the marital relationship between a man and a woman. Divorce, the negative effects of which are obvious to everyone, occurs due to various factors that can be attributed to social, economic, cultural, Individuals and personalities categorized Sometimes couples in adultery relationships face problems that cause them conflict. Divorce leads to individual, family and social breakdown and has more negative effects on women than men. Experts believe that the divorce process goes through this process most of the time: minor disagreements, repeated minor disagreements and their seriousness, separation or reluctance of one spouse to the other, prolonged and repeated violence, tiredness of the couple from the violence and the clashA person's overall assessment of the marital relationship and the state of fulfillment of the couple's personal needs, desires and aspirations determines the degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the marital relationship. On the other hand, disagreement in any marital relationship is normal and marital conflicts are one of the common problems of couples. In today's world. Therefore, some people consider divorce to be liberating in this situation. Although the family has changed in form and structure over time; However, what remains unchanged about the family is that the family is still the basic unit of society. Also, the quality of relationships within the family plays an important role in shaping the attitudes and social feedback of the family and the foundation of relationships. According to Giddens (1991), the family is based on the relationship between husband and wife. Among the social changes that are taking place these days, none is as important as the events in personal life, sex, emotional life, marriage and family. It is happening. Today, human society is witnessing an increasing divorce rate in society, which at the same time with the presence of modernity in most societies has reduced its ugliness and is accepted as a social solution for marriages that are not the most successful and in many Countries have endured public sentiment, changes in the law in favor of divorce. Divorce means the collapse of the most important institution of socialization in human society. This phenomenon is one of the realities that the institution of the family experiences extensively in today's world, but this does not mean that the family has not encountered this phenomenon in the past. But divorce, like all other phenomena in today's world, has changed its nature and is more of an optional choice, so that divorce is one of the social issues that is affected by the structure of society. The main source of change in the social system, ie urbanization and industrialization, increase living facilities, improve literacy and education, improve living facilities, reduce child mortality, increase life expectancy and at the same time change the mental and ideological structure of the family. Other institutions have been affected
The issue of divorce in Iran, as one of the serious social harms along with poverty, unemployment, marginalization and addiction, appears in most of the speeches of officials and analysis of social pathologists and various experts in psychological and social issues. To the extent that identifying the situation and designing mechanisms to prevent divorce, it has become one of the main missions of all cultural institutions in the country. In paragraph 13 of the general family policy, which was announced by the leadership in September 2016, to prevent social harms and factors of instability of the family institution, especially the issue of divorce and compensation for the resulting damage by continuously identifying the causes of divorce and family collapse and culture The hatred of divorce. During the review of the Sixth Development Plan bill, the MPs obliged the Welfare Organization to provide the necessary groundwork through the Center for Social Emergency and Assistance and counseling centers and psychological services and to expand services with the help of public institutions, from family crises and Prevent the occurrence of divorce and reduce the divorce rate to 20% in the next 5 years. Therefore, in Iran, families have faced this problem seriously. According to the statistics of the Civil Registration Organization, in 1385, 94039 cases of divorce were registered. This statistic has increased a lot in 1390 and reaches 143841 cases. In 1392, this increase continues to increase and the number of divorces reaches 155369 cases. According to the statistics of this organization, in 1390, an average of 100 marriages and 16 divorces were registered per hour. Meanwhile, in 2014, 83 marriages and 19 divorces were registered every hour. According to the statistics of 2017, the divorce rate has increased by 5.1% compared to 1995 and has reached 176,922. Therefore, statistics show the speed of its increase (Imanzadeh et al. 1398: 26). Thus, due to the rapid population growth in Iran over the past decades, the consequences such as increased rent, marginalization, organ sales, malnutrition, increased begging in the city, working children, increased prostitution and finally divorce and There has been a collapse of family foundations. In order to plan and improve the situation of the poor, we must first obtain the necessary knowledge of their situation and spatial distribution in Iran, and then carefully plan to solve this challenging problem of the provinces to be able to spread the negative effects and consequences of the phenomenon. Poverty at the city level, including divorce, was prevented or at least reduced. Usually in the field of social sciences, the number of marriages and divorces and its causes and results are studied, but in geographical issues, the location of urban injuries in the provinces of the country and its contexts are emphasized, so the purpose of this study is to investigate the dispersion. Geography of divorce is at the statistical level of Iran province. Therefore, it is tried to study the distribution of divorce in the province so that the city administration and social institutions and charitable organizations can help the target groups with care and proper planning.

I've got a problem in local name resolution using customized firmware V1.7.5.9-3 (also on V1.7.5.6-2).
The question is: Why isn't "aldebaran.lan.exanetis.com" recognized by the wl500g as a local name? See config below. Note that "wl500g.lan.exanetis.com" is correctly recognized only because the full qualified name is specified in wl500g host name. If host name is set to only "wl500g" it behaves like "aldebaran.lan.exanetis.com" above.
e.g. you are trying to make an 'external' host internal.. so it will try to resolve the host from outside your network..
I do not have a DNS server for lan.exanetis.com. I thought I could use the wl500g for this purpose. I used to have a Win2K server with the DNS service, where I would define the "lan.exanetis.com" zone and that was it, all worked fine!
I'm not proficient in network administration but as far as I remember I can't "enter ip details at a DNS server for a domain", or am I missing/misunderstanding something?

Close Comparison
H. RES. 695
Mr. Nolan submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration, and in addition to the Committees on Rules and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding steps that Congress should take to restore democracy and change the way we do politics in the United States by reducing the influence of money and corporations and promoting the participation of the people in politics and government.
This resolution may be cited as the Restore Democracy Resolution .
It is the purpose of this resolution to express the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should—
clarify its power to set limits on the amount of money that can be spent on a campaign for election for Federal office;
make clear that corporations are not people for purposes of the First Amendment right to make campaign contributions;
confirm that money is not free speech;
limit the campaign advertising season to 60 days before an election;
prohibit candidates from soliciting or collecting campaign contributions during legislative sessions;
protect the constitutional right to vote by expanding online voter registration systems;
emphasize the need for compact, contiguous Congressional districts that are not gerrymandered to favor an incumbent or political party; and
restore regular order in the legislative process by requiring bills to go through committee consideration and come to the floor under an open rule.
Reducing the Influence of Money in Politics
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (558 U.S. 310) opened the door to the corrupting influence of money in politics;
in order to restore the American people's faith in the integrity of their elected government, Congress should have the power to regulate the raising and spending of money and in-kind equivalents with respect to Federal elections, including through regulating—
the amount of contributions to candidates for nomination or election to Federal office,
the amount of expenditures that may be made by, in support of, or in opposition to such candidates, and
the content and integrity of such expenditures; and
all political contributions should be publicly disclosed, including those made to or by independent groups, so that voters have complete information about who is paying for political advertisements.
Providing for Public Financing of Elections
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that, in order to eliminate the undue influence of money in politics—
Congress should create a public finance system for Congressional elections, which will ensure that Congress is responsible to voters instead of well-financed special interests; and
Members of Congress should devote their full time to regular order and governing instead of campaign fundraising.
Limiting the Campaign Season
Congress should have the power to implement and enforce limits on when money can be spent on campaign activities;
registered candidates for Congressional elections should not be allowed to expend campaign funds on advertising more than 60 days before a primary or general election;
candidates for Congressional office, both incumbents and challengers, should not be allowed to solicit or collect campaign contributions during the hours in which Congress is in session; and
States should create a single Congressional primary date to increase voter education and participation.
Protecting the Right to Vote
Congress has the power to prohibit voter suppression activities; and
in order to increase voter access and participation, Congress should require every State to create and maintain an online voter registration system.
Eliminating Partisan Redistricting and Gerrymandering
Congress should establish a Federal reapportionment system that would create compact and contiguous Congressional districts that, to the greatest extent possible, follow geographic boundaries and county lines;
Congressional districts should not favor or disfavor an incumbent or political party;
Congressional districts should adhere to the existing standards of equal population; and
the highest court of each State should have the power to reject Congressional district maps that do not meet the above criteria.
Requiring Regular Order in House and Senate
Requiring regular order in the House and Senate
it should not be in order to consider a bill or resolution in the House unless each committee to which the bill or resolution is referred—
had a hearing on the bill or resolution at which amendments were permitted to be offered and debated and a vote was taken on each amendment offered and on final passage, and
filed a report with respect to the bill or resolution;
a conference report should not be filed in the House unless—
the conference committee held at least 3 meetings in which all members of the conference committee were present,
all items of difference between the House and Senate were addressed, voted on, and resolved by the full conference committee, and
printed or electronic copies of the conference report and the accompanying joint explanatory statement were available to Members and Delegates for at least 72 hours prior to filing;
the House and Senate should schedule simultaneous 5-day work weeks in Washington and district work periods; and
every bill brought to committee should be open to amendment and every bill brought to the floor of the House for a vote should be considered under an open rule.

Il a existé de nombreuses familles de Bailleul, issues d'autant de toponymes répartis sur une vaste aire géographique allant de la Flandre à la Normandie, dont aucune n'est subsistante.

Flandre

Famille de Bailleul / van Belle

Cette famille de Flandre française est issue de Jean de Bailleul, seigneur du Doulieu et de Blancques, mort en 1341, gouverneur d'Ypres en 1328, maréchal héréditaire de Flandre.

Les Bailleul étaient seigneurs du Doulieu, du Tronquoy, et de Steinkerque. Ils ont détenu la charge héréditaire de maréchal de Flandre. Cette famille s'est éteinte en 1517.

À noter que Le Doulieu est très proche de Bailleul (Nord), au nord-ouest de Lille.

 Armes : De gueules, au sautoir de vair

Cette famille s'est éteinte en 1364 en ligne masculine avec Édouard Balliol, fils du roi d'Écosse Jean Balliol.

Normandie

Famille de Bailleul, seigneurs de Croissanville
Cette famille féodale de Basse-Normandie est issue de Gilles de Bailleul, seigneur du Mesnil-Renouard, mort avant 1289. Elle tirerait son nom de Bailleul (Orne), ou de Bailleul-la-Vallée (Eure), ou de Bailleul-la-Campagne (Eure).

Q: Get file name and pass it to another function in Python I got this code, that looks on a directory for .rar files and unrar them to another directory. I want to be able to fetch the name of the file that has been unrared for the purpose to change to the destination directory ( wich is the file minus the extension ) and from there do more work, but I can't do anything else after the if ( like, getting te file name with os.path.basename() before executing  patoolib.extract_archive(my_file, outdir="/root/tree/def")
How can I get the file name and pass that to another function ?
The code:
import shutil, os, patoolib, fnmatch, glob

def unrar():
    for my_file in glob.glob('/root/tree/down/*'):
        if fnmatch.fnmatch(my_file, '*.rar'):
            patoolib.extract_archive(
                my_file, outdir="/root/tree/def")

unrar()

A: you can try the following code to get the .rar file one-by-one :
import os
for f in os.listdir(<dir_name>):
     if f.endswith('.rar'):
         print file
         #do your stuff
         patoolib.extract_archive(file, outdir="/root/tree/def")

here's an example.
consider the following folder /Users/bla/xyz with the following contents
a.rar
b.rar
c.txt

if you apply the code above on this folder, you'll get only the far files without extension :
a.rar
b.rar

now you can pass those files to whatever function you want...

Q: Two or more drawables in One State in Android Selector Is it possible to have two or more drawables used in one state of a selector? How to do it?
I asked this question because I can't any resource that answers this.
PROBLEM
I have trouble in attaching two drawables. This question is also related to this one I asked previously.
My problem is basically editing the margin of the linear layout and changing the format of the linear layout using layer-list.
