Q: Session value will change after a little time automatically I'm really wonder about a so confusing problem. I have a session that has a URL as value :
$_SESSION['url'] => 'http://www.domain.com/path/';

path/ has been rewritten and is not a real directory. Session is set in page1.php and there is link to page2.php. When i click on the link and go to page2.php, If i do it so fast after that page1.php is loaded so $_SESSION['url'] has correct value.
But when i stay 10 seconds and then click on the link and go to page2.php, Or even stay for 10 seconds and then refresh it, Session value will changed automatically to 404.shtml;
I mean, It's value will changed to http://www.domain.com/404.shtml.
Please note that this happen just for values which are URL and other values are correct.
I'm really confused that what is happening here ? Has any body experienced this situation ?
edit
page1.php
session_start();
$_SESSION['url'] => 'http://www.domain.com/path/';

page2.php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['url']; // Output is 'http://www.domain.com/404.shtml'

A: Checklist of things to do:

*

*Are there any libraries/includes that access the $_SESSION['url'] variable? disable/un-include them.

*Do any other variables get changed in the session?

*Try renaming the variable, from $_SESSION['url'] to $_SESSION['test']

There's a smart argument that America's biggest problem isn't Donald Trump, isn't ISIS or North Korea, isn't poverty, but is inequality.
The data on inequality is, of course, staggering. The top 1 percent in America owns more than the bottom 90 percent. ... And what's becoming clearer is the fraying of the social fabric that results.
What's clear is that our ecosystem is being rapidly degraded, not only by increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 (acidification of the oceans will be more significant than climate change), but also by other sources of human-generated pollution, for example synthetic organics, plastics, nanoparticles, etc. which end up in the food chain and water supplies. The results of this contamination are almost certainly dire for human health and reproduction. Most importantly, the root cause of all environmental problems due to humans is overpopulation. As the global population grows from 7.5 to some 10 billion this century, accompanied by rapidly increasing consumerism and modernization, there will be no magical solutions to our ongoing environmental disaster.

Power Generation and EconomicsRenewable Energy DevelopmentPreliminary Assessment for a Biomass Power Plant for CIC Holdings PLC
RMA carried out a preliminary assessment for a biomass power plant for CIC Holdings PLC considering the fuel wood requirement, land area required for cultivation, raw water requirement, capacities of boilers and steam turbines, grid interconnection options and project costs and corresponding financial returns.
Power Generation and EconomicsRenewable Energy DevelopmentCapacity Building for Clean Energy Development
RMA as the lead consultant, in partnership with Mercados Energy Markets India Private Limited, is preparing a renewable energy development master plan for Sri Lanka, a wind park master plan for Mannar, and a business model for Mannar wind parks for the Ministry of Power & Energy of Sri Lanka with financial assistance provided by Asian Development Bank.
This is a comprehensive study on renewable energy resource availability, and on the technical limitations of the national grid which are causing barriers for integrating renewable resource-based power generation. RMA team will then develop the 15-year national master plan to accelerate power generation from renewable resources. The study includes the development of a comprehensive Master Plan for wind power development in the Mannar district in northern Sri Lanka, and the development of a business model to attract investments for wind power development.
Due Diligence on Energy Sector ProjectsPower Generation and EconomicsConsultancy Services to Lenders to 20 MW Diesel Power Plant in Jaffna Peninsula
The distribution network in Sri Lanka's Jaffna peninsula was separated from the main grid between 1995-2013. Two Independent Power Producers (IPPs) were procured to provide the supply to the isolated network, until the civil conflict ended in 2009, enabling re-connection to the main grid. RMA was contracted by the lenders to the one of the two IPPs (20 MW) to provide a comprehensive engineering and financial/economic due diligence on these diesel power plants. The services provided included analysis of the status of diesel generators, review of investor proposals for new investments to replace ageing and inefficient generating units, assessment of efficiency, monitoring of maintenance and fuel supply mechanism, etc.
Due Diligence on Energy Sector ProjectsPower Generation and EconomicsDue Diligence Study on ACE Power Embilipitiya 100 MW Diesel Power Plant
The Embilipitiya Power Plant is a USD 60 million investment, with ACE Power (Pvt) Ltd of Sri Lanka and Caterpillar Power Generation Systems (CPGS) of USA holding equal shares. CPGS required to divest a portion of their equity, and DEG of Germany the investment arm of kfW required a due diligence study to be conducted about the technical and financial status of the power plant project.
Thus RMA was appointed as the consultant to Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH – Infrastructure Department – of Germany, to conduct a due diligence study on ACE Power Embilipitiya 100 MW power plant in Sri Lanka.
The study included the evaluation of the investment and its current market value, efficiency and status of maintenance, and a review of the power purchase agreement/dispatch prospects of the power plant. Based on the RMA recommendation, the project has now been divested.
Power Generation and EconomicsRenewable Energy DevelopmentFeasibility Study on a 5 MW Wood-fired Power Plant at Puttalam Cement Works
Holcim (Lanka) Limited owns and operates the only fully integrated Cement manufacturing plant in Sri Lanka. Holcim decided to develop a captive power plant to meet the critical loads in the factory thus enhancing the overall plant reliability level. After studying several fuel options in the pre-feasibility study conducted by RMA, Holcim requested RMA to conduct the feasibility study on a wood-fired power plant.
Based on a detailed analysis of the factory power and energy demand, RMA recommended a conventional steam power plant of capacity 5 MW producing 35 GWh of electricity annually. On the fuel supply side, RMA conducted comprehensive studies to select the most promising short rotation crops for wood fuel, potential for growing them the region and developed the conceptual design of a wood fuel supply chain. Conceptual design of the power plant includes fuel handling system, heat & mass balance, sizing and specifying the boiler, steam turbine, generator and associated auxiliaries. A comprehensive financial model was developed to evaluate the commercial feasibility of the project. RMA also addressed the socio-economic issues and assessed the project risks. The feasibility report has been accepted by Holcim.
Due Diligence on Energy Sector ProjectsPower Generation and EconomicsLenders' Engineer for 250 MW Independent Power Plants (IPPs)
RMA was selected as the Lenders' Engineer by a consortium of Sri Lankan banks financing the construction of 250 MW of Independent Power Plant (IPP) capacity in four power plants in Sri Lanka. The projects were promoted by established Sri Lankan Companies. The power plants use diesel engines operated of heavy fuel.
The role of RMA was to conduct due diligence on all the technological aspects of the four power plants. RMA assisted the Banks to review the Power Purchase Agreement, Implementation Agreement and the Fuel Supply Agreement. RMA conducted supervision of the erection, testing and commissioning of the power plants on behalf of the Banks.
The total investment on the power plants were about 160 million US$, of which about 110 million US$ was financed through a syndicated long-term loan by the Consortium of Banks. The first power plant entered commercial operation in March 2002. The second power plant entered operations in April 2005. Power plants are operated by Wartsila of Finland under an Operation and Maintenance contract with ACE Power Generation and Caterpillar Power Generation Systems Ltd. The projects were developed on a Build, Own and Operate (BOO) basis under a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement with Ceylon Electricity Board.
Due Diligence on Energy Sector ProjectsPower Generation and EconomicsEconomic Feasibility of Expansion of Tashkent Power Plant in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan has a mixed hydroelectric and thermal electricity generating system, dominated with natural gas. After experiencing a decline in the demand for electricity during early years of independance from the Soviet Union, the Uzbek system is experiencing a surge in demand once again. Some ageing thermal power plants have come to the end of their economic life, displaying poor fuel efficiency and reliability.
RMA was commissioned to conduct the economic evaluation of the proposal to expand the Tashkent Power Plant in Uzbekistan. The study was conducted for Mitsubishi Reasearch Institute, Japan, as a part of their due deligence on behalf of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). JBIC was to finance the power plant expansion project.
In this study, the entire hydro-thermal power generating system of Uzbekistan was modelled to include existing and committed power generating facilities, and the expected growth in demand for electricity over the next 20 years. The proposed expansion for the Tashkent Power Plant was then included to examine whether there will be economic benefits to the system.
Energy Economics & PricingPower Generation and EconomicsPricing of Electricity from Independent Power Plants in South Asia
RMA was selected by US Agency for International Development and Deloitte, Inc. of USA to conduct a study on the pricing of electricity produced from Independent Power Plants (IPP) in Sri Lanka. This was part of a study of 20 private power plants in South Asia, to ascertain the competitiveness of tariffs offered by IPPs in relation to utility/Government projects.
Three IPPs in Sri Lanka who agreed to participate in the study were examined in detail for their investments, operating costs and tariffs. Similarly three Government/Ceylon Electricity Board projects of comparative technology were analyzed to calculate the off-take price and any adjustments required to represent any concessions received.
The study included the development of financial models for each selected private or government project, technical evaluation to assess their operating performance, making adjustments to account for concessions, and arriving at an adjusted levelised price.

I hope you are all well, I do miss ranting away to you all.
I am rather upset, I've been messing around with my blog layout (I know have sections and themes in the side bar!) and now all my posts are messed up, sad face :( A post I did months ago is now at the top, what a disaster! (well it is in the blogging world ok). Anyone know how to fix this? I'd appreciate a more experienced bloggers help, whoops!
back to my happy and jolly weekly post!
I am in love with my quote this week because it's the most honest thing I have seen in a while.
I am very aware that I am a mere 18 year old, alas I am not as ancient as 21 yet, but I can still relate to this.
At 14 my world sort of fell apart, and now I'm 18, I'm alive and I'm okay. I maybe still having a rough time, but it gets better. It's not as bad as it was, and that's probably because I've learnt how to deal with things better. I think that's really important.
I have these moments a lot at the moment, do any of you? They're incredibly nostalgic!
For my song this week, I've actually chosen a song that everyone will know anyway. But what the heck it's a frickin' good song to bust a move to, so who cares?
I hope you all have a fantastic week and I'll see ya'll soon!


A 4.9 percent increase in Idaho's real gross domestic product (GDP) between the first and second quarters of 2015 has been ranked by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) as 9th in the nation in percentage change and well above the national average of 3.8 percent.
Seasonally adjusted on an annual basis, the 4.9 percent increase from April to June of 2015 follows a first quarter decline for January through March of 2.4 percent.
According to Department of Labor analysts, statistically, Idaho's ranking may be difficult to explain and is subject to revision in future releases. However, the new quarterly GDP data series for the states is a first for BEA and is designed to illustrate how specific industries contribute to the accelerations, decelerations and turning points in a state's economic growth from quarter to quarter.
Top performers during the second quarter of 2015 included almost all of Idaho's industry sectors with real estate, rentals and leasing, construction, finance and insurance, transportation and warehousing, and wholesale and retail trade leading the way.
Declines were reported for Idaho's mining, educational services, agriculture, forestry and fishing, and art, entertainment and recreation industries.
Nationwide, real GDP increased in 46 states and the District of Columbia in the second quarter of 2015. Construction increased by 9.8 percent and contributed to real GDP growth in 48 states and the District of Columbia, while mining dropped 17.9 percent and subtracted more than two percentage points from real GDP growth in North Dakota, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
Details are available on the BEA website. State-level data for the third quarter of 2015 will be released in March.

Q: Stack overflow on an OCaml recursive solution to the knight's shortest path on chess board puzzle The question is as described here: Knight's Shortest Path Chess Question. I tried to solve it using an intuitive recursive method, as follows:
let is_in_list x s = List.exists (fun y -> if y = x  then true else false) s;; (* find out if an element belongs to a list *)

let next_step n = [n+10;n-6;n+6;n-10;n+17;n-17;n+15;n-15];;

let rec legal_next_step = function
  |[]->[]
  |x::s->
    if x<0 or x>63 then legal_next_step s
    else x::legal_next_step s;;

let find_next_step n = legal_next_step (next_step n);; (* here is to find all the valid next moves and put them into a list*)

let rec min s =
  let rec loop result = function
    |[]->result;
    |x::s->
      if x < result then loop x s
      else loop result s in
  loop (List.hd s) s;;

let rec find_shortest_path n m =
  if is_in_list m (next_step n) then 1
  else
    1 + min (List.map (fun x -> find_shortest_path x m) (find_next_step n)) ;;

This causes a "stack overflow" issue. Why is that? Is my program creating too many layers of recursive call in the stack? Or something is terribly wrong with my code.

A: You have to understand that when you write
List.map (fun x -> find_shortest_path x m) (find_next_step n))

You will literally compute all "shortest path from here" from all possible neighbors -- then compute the minimum of all those results.
So there is an infinite loop in your code: if you start from position A and try to compute the shortest path from one of its neighbors B, then find_shortest_path called from B will inevitably try to see how long the path would be if his first move was to go back to A. So, among all other possible moves that will also be tried, you will compute the "length" of the loop A-B-A-B-A-B..., that is, loop endlessly.
There are several ways to avoid that issue (that is not related to OCaml programming per se, it's an error in your program logic that would be manifest in any language):

*

*use a breadth-first search instead of a depth-first-search, so that you incrementally explore all paths of a given length, stopping at the smallest winning path you find; if you want, this corresponds to explore all paths in parallel, so it's not an issue to have infinite paths as long as you stop (because you have found another solution) before trying to search the whole infinite path

*mark the places you've already visited, so as to not "go back" (this will never be the shortest way to reach your destination)

*

*if you use depth-first search this is delicate because those marks must be local to a search (you cannot simply mutate a matrix of booleans); for example, you could add an int list parameter to your find_shortest_path functions, that would be the list of places that are part of the currently explored path; before trying to compute the shortest path from a possible neighbors, check that it is not in this list. For something more efficient, you can use a set (module IntSet = Set.Make(struct type t = int let compare = Pervasives.compare)) (logarithmic, instead of linear, membership test), or use a mutable boolean matrix where you are careful to backtrack state changes when you choose a different path.

*if you use breadth-first search, you can use a global boolean matrix of "places you've already visited", because you simultaneously explore all paths upto a given length; so if you encounter a place that is already marked as visited, you know that another path visited it in an earlier time, so it is already ahead of you and there is no point trying to get a shortest path from there.
So the short answer is: you should learn about breadth-first search.

A: Well, the next legal move calculation looks wrong to me.  If I'm at lower right (square 7, say), I can't move to square 1.  This shouldn't cause looping, however, it should just get the wrong answer.
My guess is that you're just following some very long, failing paths.  I think you need to do a breadth-first search rather than depth first.  In essence, you keep a set of reachable squares, advance each currently reachable spot by one move at each step.  Your code always tries to reach the destination from each new spot, and hence (possibly) follows many long paths.

Blueberry BBQ Sauce …for that tired turkey!
Serve this easy sauce over pork. And it's especially tasty over leftover turkey and dressing!
It surely is hard to believe it, but Thanksgiving is on our doorstep! There always seems to be some of that bird leftover… and many enjoy eating it with leftover dressing, as is, for days on end, while other are looking for ways to reinvent it. One of my social media clients is a blueberry farm, with all sorts of blueberry goodies (jams, salsa, juice, syrup) and honey too. I'm sharing this recipe that is going out in Creekside Farm's newsletter this week. You can use fresh or frozen berries, or even mix some blueberry jam with the BBQ sauce instead.
So as you prepare your grocery shopping list for the holiday, pick up some blueberries so you can stir together this sauce… really quickly! It's soooooo good over turkey and pork too.
Gobble! Gobble! Get your turkey ON.
This is a sweet and savory sauce that is great on grilled chicken, pork or fish… or leftover turkey and dressing. It's simple and quick to make, and can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for up to about 2 weeks.
Put the berries, bbq sauce, vinegar and thyme into heavy bottomed sauce pot. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to slow boil, stirring frequently. Cook until the berries have popped and the sauce has cooked down and thickened. Whisk in honey.

Q: NSRegularExpression does not match anything after CRLF. Why? In Swift 4.2, NSRegularExpression does not match anything after CRLF. Why?
let str = "\r\nfoo"
let regex = try! NSRegularExpression(pattern: "foo")
print(regex.firstMatch(in: str, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: str.count))) // => nil

If you remove "\r" or "\n", you get a instance of NSTextCheckingResult.

A: In Swift 4 a new initializer of NSRange was introduced to convert reliably Range<String.Index> to NSRange.
Use it always, it solves your issue.

Canada's Search for Itself
by Cathy Lane
Canada's now-familiar red-and-white triband flag and national identity is surprisingly young, just over 50 years old at this writing. (A proposed and fortunately rejected 1946 joint committee design is shown here.)
A CITYLAB article details its origins. "Designed by Alberta native, Rhodes scholar, and military veteran George Stanley, the new flag specifically avoided references to the British Union Jack and French fleur-de-lis in the name of national unity. Fittingly, Stanley's 13-point maple leaf was modified by Jacques Saint-Cyr, a Quebec separatist and graphic artist, to an 11-point leaf for the final, adopted design."
A documentary created by Vancouver-based graphic designer Greg Durrell details the history behind Canada's search for—and subsequent growth into—its own identity. More details can be found at:
https://www.citylab.com/design/2018/11/design-canada-documentary-greg-durrell/574717/.


Rivers United suffered a first defeat of the season on Sunday against the country's most successful club, Enyimba International as the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) hit the matchday six mark.
It was a painful reverse for the 'Pride of Rivers' who gave as good as they got in the contest, particularly in the first half when they had several excellent opportunities to take the lead in Aba.
Concise News reports that Technical Manager of the club, Stanley Eguma has now stressed that the loss to Enyimba is 'a thing of the past; and wants a quick response from his charges as they face the 'Afonja Warriors' at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium on Wednesday.
"We had our chances against Enyimba in Aba but we made one mistake and conceded in the first half and from then, it became complicated," Eguma tells Rivers United media.
Kwara United are in the relegation zone and have won just once this season but the Ilorin club also drew one of their three fixtures on the road this term (against Insurance in Benin City on January 23). Eguma readily admits that they are extremely dangerous opponents.
"We cannot afford to relax against Kwara United because they are a side that can get results on the road too.
"It is an important game so we don't have to toy with it.
"Our utmost desire is to win the match and get the three points at stake," he says.
Wednesday's game at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt kicks off at 4 pm.

Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) has announced the names of the artists whose work was selected by Mera Rubell, Co-Founder of the Rubell Family Collection, from the WPA 36 Studios/36 Hours marathon in Baltimore October 26 and 27.
WPA, a 38-year-old nonprofit organization presenting contemporary art and supporting artists in the Greater Washington region, invited Mrs. Rubell to serve as one of eight curators for its 33rd Annual Art Auction Exhibition, SELECT 2014. Each year, WPA invites prestigious curators from renowned institutions to select works which are exhibited for approximately one month and then auctioned to benefit the organization and artists. As an artist service organization, WPA is proud of its long history of equally sharing proceeds of the auction art sales with the artists (a 50/50 split).
Beginning at 6am on Saturday, October 26, 2013, Mrs. Rubell set out on a 36-hour studio visit marathon throughout the city of Baltimore accompanied by Lisa Gold, WPA Executive Director, and a constantly changing entourage of reporters, photographers, collectors, gallerists, curators, and other arts professionals. From School 33 to the Creative Alliance and at many studios in between, Ms. Rubell listened to, questioned, prodded, and bonded with the 36 artists who were selected through the 36 Studios /36 Hours lottery.
The marathon ended Sunday, October 27 at 6pm and culminated in a reception for all of the artists who applied for a studio visit as well as people in the Baltimore art community. The party, held at Rubell's Lord Baltimore Hotel, was attended by over 200 people and brought together the community in a veritable "love fest" of Baltimore art.
Mrs. Rubell was initially tasked with selecting approximately 10-15 works by 10-12 artists. She ended up selecting 25 works by 19 artists. "There were so many amazing artists," exclaimed Mrs. Rubell. "People should know what's happening in Baltimore." As the visits were made in her role as a curator for WPA's Art Auction Exhibition, many considerations went into Mrs. Rubell's decision-making process, such as scale of the work and availability for exhibition. "The choices were very difficult," Rubell professed. "All of the work I saw was of high quality and the artists were extremely professional and talented."
In a surprise announcement, Mrs. Rubell has arranged for the works she selected to be previewed in New York before the WPA SELECT 2014 exhibition. From January 11 through January 18, 2014, Marianne Boesky Gallery's uptown space (118 E 64th Street) will host Baltimore Artists + WPA + Mera Rubell = LOVE, an exhibition featuring the 25 works chosen through the 36 Studios/36 Hours adventure. The New York preview is a first for WPA and the SELECT auction. "I'm thrilled to be able to offer this incredible opportunity to these talented artists, the majority of whom have no gallery representation, and to be able to bring together the Washington, Baltimore, and New York art communities through our inspired adventure and this wonderful exhibition," said Lisa Gold.
Amanda Burnham, Michelle Dickson, Dave Eassa, Alex Ebstein, Cliff Evans, Sean FitzPatrick, Ryan Hoover, Jason Hughes, Tiffany Jones, Gary Kachadourian, Magnolia Laurie, Curtis Miller, Cara Ober, Rachel Rotenberg, Ginevra Shay, Jo Smail, Ryan Syrell, Alessandra Torres, and Stewart Watson.
SELECT 2014 will be on view February 27 through March 21, 2014 at Artisphere, 1101 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209. Hours are Wednesday-Friday: 4 - 11pm; Saturday: Noon - 11pm; Sunday: Noon - 5pm; Monday & Tuesday: Closed. Admission is free.
Baltimore Artists + WPA + Mera Rubell = LOVE will be hosted by Marianne Boesky Gallery, 118 E 64th Street, New York, NY 10065 from January 11 through January 18, 2014. Hours are Tuesday - Saturday: 10am - 6pm. Admission is free.

China Bans Construction Of Super Skyscrapers
in International, News
19 Perish, 22 Injured In Horrific Road Accident [PHOTO]
China Responds To Report It Operates Police Stations In Nigeria
China has restricted smaller cities in the country from building "super high-rise buildings", as part of a larger bid to crackdown on vanity projects.
Cities with populations of less than three million people will be restricted from building skyscrapers taller than 150 metres (492 ft).
Those with populations larger than that will be restricted from buildings taller than 250 metres.
There is already an existing ban on buildings taller than 500 metres.
China is home to some of the world's highest buildings – including the 632m Shanghai Tower and the 599.1m Ping An Finance Centre in Shenzhen.
Local reports say that while skyscrapers may be needed in crowded cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen, there is no shortage of land in other cities, adding that those had been built mostly for vanity reasons.
Earlier this year, hundreds of people were shown fleeing when a 350-metre landmark skyscraper – the SEG Plaza in the city of Shenzhen – began swaying.
China has increasingly been cracking down on costly vanity projects, criticising local developers obsession with constructing eye-catching buildings.
Earlier this year, the country issued a ban on "ugly architecture".
"We're in a stage where people are too impetuous and anxious to produce something that can actually go down in history," Zhang Shangwu, deputy head of Tongji University's College of Architecture and Urban Planning had earlier told the South China Morning Post.
"Every building aims to be a landmark, and the developers and city planners try to achieve this goal by going extreme in novelty and strangeness."
In a joint statement issued on Tuesday, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural development and the Ministry of Emergency Management clarified that special exemptions would have to be sought if a city with an urban population of less than three million wanted to build a skyscraper higher than 150 metres.
However, they would not under any circumstances be able to build a building higher than 250 metres.
Similarly, cities with an urban population of over three million could under certain circumstances apply to build a skyscraper taller than 250 metres, but with a hard ban on buildings over 500m.
Those who approve projects that violate these new rules will held to "lifelong accountability" the statement added.
The announcement was mostly met with approval on Chinese social media site Weibo, with many stating that the super-high skyscrapers were "not needed… they're just gimmicky".

Average college tuition costs vary quite a bit from university to university. In general, two year schools and programs cost far less, and four year programs, especially at more well-known universities, cost a lot more. How much more?Two Year Programs Vs. Four Year ProgramsWell, the average tuition price for a community college or two year program in which the student will earn an Associates Degree is right around $2,700. Compare that tuition cost against a median tuition cost of around $9,000 for a four year school and a Bachelor's Degree and you will see a stark contrast.If a potential student and their parents are worried about the high cost of tuition and are low on savings it may not be a bad idea to start off at a community college, go there for two years and then transfer into a larger university for the remaining two years.Just be sure that the credits will transfer, with most reputable schools all the credits should transfer to the four year university. This strategy for paying for college can be a wise one.If tuition cost are too high at a four year school, or even a two year one, not to worry, there are plenty of loans and scholarships out there ready for the taking. The American Dream is alive and well in this country despite what you might have heard to the contrary.State Funded Four Year Universities (In-State, Out-Of-State)State universities are also a good option for those looking to save money on their college investment. If a student has an in-state residence than the median tuition cost will come down considerably, on average. The average tuition and fees for an in-state university in the U.S. is roughly $7,600 according to the very latest data.If the college student chooses a state funded school but is not a resident of that state the cost of the tuition will go higher. The average college tuition costs (state funded university) for an out of state student is approximately $11,900. That's quite a jump, so it certainly helps with costs to chose an in-state school. There are some exceptions however, certain states have what's called reciprocity, in which students can cross the border to a neighboring state and still receive in-state prices. This practice is common in the Midwest.Private Four Year CollegesLet's take a gander at the most sticker-shockingly expensive schools – private universities. The average tuition for a college (private) in the U.S. is right around $27,000. That is an enormous jump up from a state school, right? As you can see, it's more than double! Many, if not most, students looking to attend prestigious private universities will have to look very closely at scholarships, grants, and student loans to afford tuition.Always A Great InvestmentInvesting in higher education will make the difference between most likely working minimum wage to low paying jobs to having a career in which making middle and upper class money is possible. So, it may seem like a daunting investment, however it's a very smart one. Don't let the average tuition for college scare you away from making the right decision, people get to mountain top every year.


This recipe is very popular in European countries: in Austria it's called schnitzel, in the US it's called a cutlet. We cook cutlets with beef and pork, even with fish and chicken. The main thing the fillet/ or loin has to be thin.
Wash and tenderize the meat with meat tenderizer.
Pour the flour in a disposable plate.
In a separate deep dish beat the egg. (you may add 1 tablespoon of water for it to be beaten better and evenly). Season the egg mix with salt and pepper.
Run the cutlet through the flour, then egg and then put on a hot frying pan (add the cooking oil just before putting your cutlets to fry).
Fry the cutlets on each side until golden brown.
Serve warm with mashed potato, rice or grilled vegetables.

Flint News
Flint Energies has installed a 1.2 kW photovoltaic (PV) system at Huntington Middle School in Warner Robins, Thomson Middle School in Centerville and coming soon to Marion County Middle High School in Buena Vista. It's part of an initiative to teach tomorrow's energy users about the power of solar. The $15K investment in solar energy education is a partnership between Flint Energies and Green Power EMC.
Why is Green Power EMC offering the Energy Education program?
Green Power EMC wants to educate the next generation of energy users about the benefits of renewable energy technologies. Member education is one of the seven principles of cooperatives. Electric cooperatives have a history of successful partnerships with schools.
Green Power EMC has taken a strong leadership role in helping make clean, renewable energy available to Georgia and is continuing to make strides in this area. Experience gained through the installation of small PV systems will help with future efforts.
What is solar energy?
Solar energy takes advantage of the sun's energy to generate electricity or heat. It is a secure and clean energy source.
What are the benefits of solar energy?
Using solar energy reduces greenhouse gasses and pollution, preserves natural resources and reduces reliance on traditional energy sources.
What is a photovoltaic system and what does it do?
Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert light energy into electricity. The term "photo" is a stem from the Greek "phós," which means light. "Volt" is named for Alessandro Volta (1745–1847), a pioneer in the study of electricity. "Photo-voltaic," then could literally mean "light-electricity."
Most commonly known as "solar cells," PV systems are already an important part of our lives. The simplest systems power many of the small calculators and wrist watches we use every day.
Photovoltaic cells convert light energy into electricity at the atomic level. Although first discovered in 1839, the process of producing electric current in a solid material with the aid of sunlight was not truly understood for more than a hundred years.
Throughout the second half of the 20th century, the science has been refined and the process has been more fully explained. As a result, the cost of these devices has put them into the mainstream of modern energy producers. This was caused in part by advances in technology, where PV conversion efficiencies have improved considerably.

Top 6 U.S. scams
By Kathy Kristof
January 24, 2014 / 5:50 AM / MoneyWatch
A growing number of con artists are going old school by trying to rip off consumers over the phone, according to the National Consumers League. The group, which tracks the nation's most common frauds, says in a new report more than 36 percent of consumer complaints registered in 2013 involved telemarketing fraud.
While dialing for victims is a tactic that's nearly as old as the phone, today's telemarking scams use high-tech equipment to target users across the globe, NCL says. Crooks deceive caller ID systems by spoofing local numbers and dial multiple numbers simultaneously, shooting calls to live phone representatives only when the victim answers the phone.
"The days of dialing numbers and calling consumers one by one are long gone," said John Breyault, NCL's vice president of public policy on telecommunications and fraud. "Today, scammers can call millions of people with the click of a mouse."

Overall, the nation's most prevalent scam remains a fake check con, which involves "overpaying" for a product or service and asking the recipient to refund the difference. By the time the victim realizes that the check used for payment was bogus, the con artist has walked away with the consumer's money.
This con is particularly pernicious for two reasons. Victims think they're safe because their own bank may have "cleared" the bogus check before they sent a refund to the crook. But the fact that your bank made the funds available is not a sign that the check was good. Federal banking rules simply require financial institutions to credit you for a check within a set number of days. The bank is allowed to debit your account – even months later -- if they discover the check was fraudulent.
When the fake check is discovered, the victims often run into trouble with their own banks because once the check is determined to be fraudulent, the entire amount is withdrawn from the consumer's account. Because the consumer has likely relied on the fake check to pay real bills, that also can lead to overdrafts and bounced check fees. (The fake check con is particularly common with mystery shopper payments. However, it's used when people attempt to sell products on eBay and Craig's List, too. It's such a prevalent con that a consumer group put up a dedicated web site to explain it.)
Con artists share "sucker" lists of the people they've conned in the past, according to the Consumers League. They then return to those victims with a new con that promises to recover the lost money. Commonly, the crook will ask for a fee to get your money back. If you pay, you'll never see the fee – or the recovery – again. Worse, crooks rightly realize that anyone who has been conned twice is vulnerable. So you're likely to get inundated with future scams, too.
The top six scams in order:
1. Fake checks
2. Bad Internet sales – products never delivered or misrepresented
3. Sweepstakes/prize/free gift cons that request payment to get your winnings.
4. Advance fee cons that promise a loan or line of credit, if you pay them first.
5. Phishing scams that attempt to get personal information to get access to your accounts, your tax refund or to open credit cards in your name.
6. Recovery/refund cons that promise past victims a recovery of swindled funds in exchange for a fee.

Rainy Rio erupts as Flamengo wins late Libertadores soccer victory
By Gabriel Stargardter
Reuters November 23, 2019
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 23 (Reuters) - When the downpour began in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, with hometown soccer team Flamengo losing 1-0 to River Plate, it appeared to be a gloomy sign: Flamengo's hopes of winning a first Copa Libertadores title in 38 years were washing away.
But then, just minutes before the game in Lima was set to end in victory for the Argentine club, Flamengo striker Gabriel Barbosa scored an equalizer. Then, a few seconds later, he nabbed a late winner, turning Rio's sodden streets into a frenzied, red-and-black party.
Fireworks blasted into the sky as fans at Zig Zag, a bar in the Rio neighborhood of Ipanema, danced, embraced and sloshed ice-cold beers to celebrate Flamengo's second Libertadores title.
Flamengo's domestic progress - they are one win away from claiming the league title - and seamless path to the Libertadores final has lifted the mood in Rio, where years of crime, corruption and unemployment have dented spirits.
Monica Barcelos, 41, was at the bar to watch the game with a group of fellow metro workers. She said Flamengo had been a rare joy for Cariocas, as Rio's residents are known.
"This is a light at the end of the tunnel," she said. "Things are getting better in Brazil, but there's a long way to go."
Diego Alonso, her colleague, agreed.
He said his father, a lifelong fan of rival Rio club Vasco da Gama, had cried when he told him he had chosen to support Flamengo, his mother's team.
"There's loads of Flamenguistas who have never seen their team win the Libertadores. This is immense. It's bigger than the World Cup," he said.
"Life here is tough," he added. "This is a moment of happiness and it helps you get through the problems this country is suffering."
Aldacir Luiz, who also works for the Rio metro, gulped the last dregs of his beer before returning to work. He said he would finish his shift and clock off at 9.50pm.
"Then I'm going to celebrate again," he said.
Luiz, who was brought up by a single mother, said he never had a father to raise him as Flamengo fan.
But that didn't matter: "You're born a Flamenguista," he said. " It's almost a religion." (Reporting by Gabriel Stargardter; Editing by Daniel Wallis)

I just put a bullet in Tuesday night's episode of The Late Show, on which Steve Carell appeared to tout tomorrow's release of Get Smart, and share stories of Father's Day gifts from his kids (he joked that he told his 7-year-old daughter it wasn't true that the best gifts are made, not bought) with host David Letterman. An awful lot of the one-segment chat was non-movie-related, interestingly enough. The competitive reception of Get Smart — an adaptation that an entire generation doesn't even know is an adaptation, kind of like 2002's I Spy — up against the return of Mike Myers in The Love Guru will be an interesting barometer reading of possibly converging comedy stars.
deal of the century. The movie screens this coming Thursday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m., in advance of its limited theatrical release in early July. Also, this Sunday, June 22, director Julie Taymor's Across the Universe screens at 7:30 p.m., with a special post-screening appearance and discussion by choreographer Daniel Ezralow.
Ever Dreamed of Swimming Naked with Watermelons?
Ever dreamed of swimming naked with watermelons? Well now you can live vicariously through Israeli artist Sigalit Landau's wall-spanning projection, on view at MoMA through July 28. No hugely tangible cinematic connection here, except for the fact that I just really expected to first see this image in a Tarsem film.
latest volume follows the success of the first set of Stooges film shorts, from 1934-36, released last year by Sony, and comes in advance of more like-minded releases.
It goes without saying that the Three Stooges are one of the most important screen comedy teams of the 20th century, and an inspiration to generations of screen comics that followed. After their initial retirement late in the 1950s, television reruns helped reintroduce them, at home and abroad, to a new generation of kids and adults alike, and their enthusiastic reception certainly indicates an abiding love for anarchic silliness.
At the time of the material here, the vaudeville-born Stooges were no longer some mere novelty act seeking attention in the still nascent world of filmed entertainment; they had achieved fame, and their countrywide personal appearances, of which there were many, were frequently mobbed. Naturally, even with such mainstream embrace (or perhaps because of it), there were cultural warriors who viewed the Stooges' eye-poking, head-slapping, pie-tossing antics as too violent, and crusaded to have them banished. Thankfully, their efforts didn't succeed.
With the guys' rapport now even more settled upon, Larry, Curly and Moe were able to focus a bit on coming up with some rich scenarios to serve as backdrops for their antics, cranking out a new short film every six-and-a-half weeks or so. 1937's slate consists of Grips, Grunts and Groans; Dizzy Doctors, one of many hospital-set shorts; Three Dumb Clucks; the bizarre and hopelessly dated Back to the Woods, in which the Stooges are exiled from England and sent to protect colonists from "savage" Native Americans; Goofs and Saddles; Cash and Carry; the racetrack-set Playing the Ponies, in which a prize horse is powered by hot peppers; and The Sitter Downers, a domestic-leaning sketch in which the Stooges attempt to build a house to satisfy their future father-in-law. The films from 1938 are: Termites of 1938; Wee Wee Monsieur; Tassels in the Air; Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb, one of many Stooges shorts to assay issues of class; Violent is the Word for Curly; Three Missing Links; Mutts to You; and Flat Foot Stooges. Finally, 1939's slate consists of Three Little Sew and Sews, in which the Stooges become seamen tailors; We Want Our Mummy; A Ducking They Did Go; Yes, We Have No Bonanza; the island-set Saved By the Belle (of which surely Mario Lopez is a fan); Calling All Curs; the hilariously named Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise; and Three Sappy People, in which the boys are mistaken for respected psychiatrists.
The across-the-board value here is of a high quality, with only a couple of the forced "genre" offerings (Western-inflected Yes, We Have No Bonanza, for instance) coming across as forced. Calling All Curs, Grips, Grunts and Groans and Three Little Sew and Sews all score particularly high marks. Three Sappy People, meanwhile, remains one of the more popular syndicated Stooges efforts, if chiefly for its cream pie shenanigans. Frequently plumbing class friction for laughs, the Stooges seem best when placed out of sorts and forced to madly improvise in order to maintain the plausible cover of their scenario or promise, and there are plenty of examples of that here.
Presented in full screen with an English language mono audio track, The Three Stooges Collection: Volume Two looks pretty great, all things considering (only contrast levels would be a point to quibble on), and if the sound design isn't something to stand up against the comparatively brawny mixes of movies of today, it certainly serves the relatively meager demands here, with just a slight bump in volume level over similar mono mixes. The films are housed on two dual-layered discs in slimline cases that are in turn stored in a nice cardboard slipcover.

František Cyril Kampelík (* 28. Juni 1805 in Syřenov; † 8. Juni 1872 in Kukleny) war ein tschechischer Volksaufklärer und Begründer der Selbsthilfe-Genossenschaften.

Leben
Der Sohn eines Landwirts besuchte bis 1824 das Gymnasium in Jitschin und war danach zwei Jahre lang als Hauslehrer in Planian tätig. Anschließend studierte er tschechische Literatur an der Brünner Philosophischen Akademie. Daneben erlernte er die serbische, polnische und russische Sprache. Während seiner Studienzeit schloss er sich der patriotischen Bewegung an, der u. a. auch František Matouš Klácel angehörte.

Nach dem Tod seiner Eltern musste Kampelík aus finanziellen Gründen auf das Brünner Priesterseminar wechseln. Dort setzte er sich weiterhin für das tschechische Nationalbewusstsein ein und gründete am Seminar eine tschechische Bibliothek. Er unterhielt rege Korrespondenz mit weiteren Volksaufklärern, darunter mit Jan Ohéral, Pavel Josef Šafařík, František Sušil, Šebestián Hněvkovský und Alois Vojtěch Šembera. Als Slawist war ihm auch die Zusammenarbeit mit dem slowakischen Aufklärer Ján Kollár von großer Bedeutung.

Nach Studienabschluss 1834 bemühte er sich vergeblich um eine Professorenstelle, so dass er als Privatlehrer wirkte. Daneben gründete er in weiteren Städten Mährens und der Slowakei Bibliotheken. Um diese Zeit begann er mit der literarischen Tätigkeit und veröffentlicht Gedichte. Außerdem begann er in Wien mit dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften und wechselte später zur Medizin.

1836 wurden seine ersten Bücher veröffentlicht. Er unterstützte aktiv den Leserverein tschechischer Juristen und Mediziner. Als dessen Vorsitzender kam er zum ersten Mal in Konflikt mit dem Gesetz und wurde für fünf Monate inhaftiert.

Im August 1843 promovierte Kampelík zum Doktor der Medizin und eröffnete eine Arztpraxis in Leitomischl. Daneben hielt er an der dortigen Akademie Vorlesungen. Zwei Jahre später verließ er Leitomischl und eröffnete in Prag eine Arztpraxis. Dort veröffentlichte er weiterhin patriotische Schriften und gründete 1846 den Prager Bürgerverein Měšťanská beseda, der sich eine Beratung von Bürgern und Arbeitern zum Ziel setzte. Als Organ des Vereins gründete er die Zeitschrift Hlasník und schrieb weitere politische Abhandlungen. Der Bürgerverein traf sich damals oft auf dem sogenannten Pferdemarkt (Koňský trh), der später auf Anregung Kampelíks in Václavské náměstí (Wenzelsplatz) umbenannt wurde.

Im Revolutionsjahr 1848 war Kampelík vor allem auf dem Land tätig und suchte Unterstützung in der Umgebung Prags. Nach dem Scheitern der Revolution flüchtete er und setzte sich nach Belgrad ab. Ende des Jahres kehrte er nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Prag nach Nová Páka zurück und gründete in der Folgezeit weitere Bürgervereine. 1849 eröffnete er in Königinhof an der Elbe eine Arztpraxis, zog jedoch schon kurz darauf nach Vamberk. Wegen politischer Verfolgung floh er in die Slowakei und später nach Moskau.

Nach der Rückkehr ließ er sich 1860 in Kukleny bei Königgrätz nieder. Sein Interesse galt zu diesem Zeitpunkt volkswirtschaftlichen Problemen, die er im Buch Průmyslové návrhy zusammenfasste. In diesem Werk beschäftigte er sich auch mit der Bedeutung der genossenschaftlichen Bewegung in Deutschland. Er schlug die Gründung kleiner Sparkassen auf dem Lande vor, die aus dem gesammelten Kapital günstige Darlehen gewähren sollten und entwarf die entsprechenden Satzungen und die organisatorischen Strukturen. Die auf dem Lande errichteten Kassen wurden zu seinen Ehren Kampeličky genannt. Aus seinem Vermögen gründete er zudem einige Versicherungen, die Schäden am Vermögen und Leben versicherten (Assekuranzen). Seine Schaffenskraft in Kukleny wurde jedoch durch Krankheiten behindert.

Rooting a device for hi-res output?
I'm using Huawei Mate 20 Lite and I just found out my audio_policy.conf probably has only 48kHz sample rate in it, as the other settings don't play on my phone.
From my understanding it's possible changing this within the conf file but i'd have to root the phone for that.
Now I'm fairly new to this whole ordeal, never rooted it before or know what it really involves.
Rooting itself isn't too complicated, but you do need to follow whatever steps are given for your device EXACTLY as it can kill your phone otherwise.
Rooting on its own won't help though, you would then need to install a ROM which supports high-res if the stock ROM does not. I would ask in an XDA forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/) for your device before proceeding.
Thank you. Guess i'll leave it be for now.

DAHLQUIST v. STATE
District Court of Appeal, Third District,California.
Nils DAHLQUIST, as Guardian of Diana Dahlquist and Alexia Dahlquist, etc., et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. STATE of Calicornia, Defendant and Respondent.
Melvyn J. CoBen, Sacramento, for appellants. Harry S. Fenton, Robert F. Carlson, Donald M. Pach, Kenneth G. Nellis By Kenneth G. Nellis, Department of Public Works, Sacramento, for respondent.
In this wrongful death action brought by the heirs of the decedent against the State of California1 a demurrer was sustained to an original complaint without leave to amend. The appeal is from the judgment of dismissal which followed. We explain herein our reasons for reversal but first summarize the allegations of the complaint upon which decision hinges:
The complaint is in two counts but all allegations of the first count are adopted by the second (which merely alleges additional damages). It is alleged that on March 27, 1963, the state was in control of a bridge crossing the American River in Sacramento County known as the 16th Street bridge; that on said date plaintiff's decedent was driving an automobile along said 16th Street and that 'on the aforementioned date the defendants and each of them, negligently, carelessly and unlawfully constructed, operated, used and maintained the aforesaid bridge so as to cause the aforesaid plaintiff's vehicle to go out of control and collide with another automobile being driven South on said bridge, thereby damaging said plaintiff's vehicle and causing the death of LARETA CLEONA DAHLQUIST.' It is further alleged that said public property was in a dangerous and defective condition which the state had had notice of and that it had failed to rectify said condition within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice. The defective condition of the public property involved was spelled out as follows: 'the incorporation of said bridage by the defenants and each of them into a high speed thoroughfare and freeway while failing to provide traffic lanes of sufficient width or adequate dividers between opposing traffic, adequate banking of the curvature on said bridge, an excessively acute curve, inadequate drainage, and an unsafe posting of speed limits to wit 35 M.P.H. as said speed limits relate to said curvature, banking, drainage, lane width and traffic conditions.' There were alleged the necessary allegations of proximate cause and the fact of filing and denial of claims within the proper time limit.
It has been conceded by both sides that whatever the liability (or nonliability) of the state may be, this action comes within the purview of the 1963 government tort liability legislation (Stats.1963, ch. 1681; Gov.Code, sec. 810, et seq.) because of the retroactive provision thereof. (See sec. 45 of said act.) We note this since the accident occurred before the effective date of the 1963 legislation—but after Muskopf v. Corning Hospital Dist. (1961) 55 Cal.2d 211, 11 Cal.Rptr. 89, 359 P.2d 457. (See Hayes v. State of California, 231 Cal.App.2d 48, 41 Cal.Rptr. 502.)
Some of the pertinent provisions of that 1963 legislation are, first, Government Code section 835, which sets forth the fundamental rule of liability of public entities for dangerous conditions of public property.2 It specifies certain conditions under which a public entity is liable for injury caused by a dangerous condition of its property: (1) proximate cause, (2) that the dangerous condition was a reasonably foreseeable risk of the kind of injury which occurred, and (3) that either: (a) there was negligence by a public employee acting within the scope of his employment creating the condition, or (b) the public entity had actual or constructive notice for a time sufficient to have permitted measures to rectify the dangerous condition. (A fifth condition limiting liability will be discussed below. (See fn. 3, infra.)
Secondly, 'Dangerous condition' is defined in Government Code section 830, subdivision (a), as follows: "Dangerous condition' means a condition of preperty that creates a substantial (as distinguished from a minor, trivial or insignificant) risk of injury when such property or adjacent property is used with due care in a manner in which it is reasonably foreseeable that it will be used.'
It is the contention of the state that the allegations of the complaint quoted above do not meet the conditions of section 835 or fall within the definition of section 830, subdivision (a).3
The theory upon which plaintiffs bring this action is obvious: They are contending by the allegations of their complaint quoted above that a Combination of too-narrow traffic lanes of a highway bridge (and approach) characterized as a 'high speed thoroughfare,' plus inadequate dividers 'between opposing traffic,' plus inadequate banking of the curvature at an excessively acute curve, plus inadequate drainage, plus a posted speed of 35 miles per hour, made this a dangerous and defective bridge.
This is more than a 'shot-gunning' of several possible theories: it is an allegation of six separate conditions which Combined to make a dangerous and defective public property. Pleading is in the conjunctive not the disjunctive.
The State describes these allegations as 'conclusions of law' and contends that not even ultimate facts but evidentiary facts are necessarry to be pleaded in an action against the state.4 To base our decision upon the designation properly to be given the words used in plaintiffs' complaint would be to overemphasize semantics, as we think the discussion to follow will make clear. It is unnecessary to the decision of this case that we do this.
It has been noted by Professor Van Alstyne, California Government Tort Liability, California Continuing Education of the Bar (1964), section 6.66, at pages 254—255: 'Under prior law, courts rigorously insisted that allegations describing the allegedly dangerous condition be factually detailed and concisely descriptive, rather than general. * * * 'Counsel should recognize that the need for being specific in alleging statutory causes of action depends somewhat on how much defendant in fairness needs detailed information that plaintiff can easily provide, And that less particularity is required when the facts are clearly in defendant's possession. Burks v. Poppy Constr. Co. (1962) 57 Cal.2d 463 (20 Cal.Rptr. 609, 370 P.2d 313), * * *.' (Emphasis supplied.)
The State complains, in argument, that plaintiffs have not informed it of the width of the lane, the nature of the dividers, the arc of the curve, the extent of the banking, etc. These are facts already 'clearly in defendant's possession.'
The adjuration of Code of Civil Procedure section 426 is only that plaintiffs include in their complaint a 'statement of the facts constituting the cause of action, in ordinary and concise language.' In addition to the facts noted above, plaintiffs have pleaded all the facts generally upon which the State, absent some special defense, is liable for a dangerous condition of its property: negligence, proximate cause, sufficient notice to the state to have permitted it to take remedial measures—-also facts from which, if proven, a court could determine the existence of reasonably foreseeable risk. We find the facts sufficiently pleaded to withstand a general demurrer. If there were defects which a special demurrer could have reached, we do not find the allegations of the complaint vulnerable to those grounds of special demurrer asserted by the State. Moreover, and as to the possible questions of insufficiency not urged, we note the following: plaintiffs were not given an opportunity to furnish additional and more exact information (e.g., as to the decedent's position and that of the car with which she collided, if indeed those facts are known to plaintiffs5 ); plaintiffs were not allowed an opportunity to amend—no special request to so do being necessary. (Code Civ.Proc., sec. 472c.) If we were to affirm this judgment sustaining the demurrer the doors of discovery (Code Civ.Proc., secs. 2016—2035) would be closed to plaintiffs. And apropos discovery, we find in this modern method of fact-ascertainment reason for some relaxation of rigidity in application of the rules relating to the sufficiency of complaints, even those where public entities are involved. Under Code of Civil Procedure sections 2016—2035, the State by depositions, interrogatories, requests of admission, etc., can ascertain every fact known to plaintiffs and their witnesses. So can plaintiffs inquire of the State. That is the purpose of discovery.
Government Code section 830.8 provides that a public entity is not liable under certain circumstances therein enumerated but provides that the sectiion does not exonerate the public entity if a sign or device 'was necessary to warn of a dangerous condition which endangered the safe movement of traffic and which would not be reasonably apparent to, and would not have been anticipated by, a person exercising due care.' Of this section Professor Van Alstyne (op. cit., sec. 6.33, pp. 219—220) observes: 'It is clear that this section relates to Warning signs and devices, not to Regulatory traffic-control devices that are the subject of Govt C 830.4.'6 The accuracy of that statement is unassailable. The State argues that a failure to provide 'an adequate traffic control device' is, in effect, all that plaintiffs have pleaded here. As the discussion above shows, we do not agree with that argument. Plaintiffs have Pleaded (and this is a pleadings case) much more than that.
Interesting, although not controlling the case at bench, is Teall v. City of Cudahy (1963) 60 Cal.2d 431, 34 Cal.Rptr. 869, 386 P.2d 493. That case was also a pleadings case. It involved a demurrer sustained to a complaint charging the positioning of traffic lights controlling the movement of pedestrians and vehicles as the sole negligence. Justice Traynor, speaking for the court, stated on pages 433—434, 34 Cal.Rptr. p. 870, 386 P.2d p. 494:
'The only issue before us is whether the court erred in fuling as a matter of law that the alleged arrangement of the lights at the intersection did not constitute a dangerous or defective condition of public property. * * *
'Public property is in a dangerous or defective condition when it 'involves an unreasonable risk of injury to the public.' (Hawk v. City of Newport Beach, 46 Cal.2d 213, 217, 293 P.2d 48, 50.)'
In Teall, supra, the court held that negligently placed traffic lights were themselves dangerous and defective property, and while the court stated that Government Code section 830.6 had provided new standards and procedures for determining whether a properly approved plan or design had resulted in a dangerous condition, it recognized (for other reasons not here involved) that applicability of those provisions and standards would involve The setting up of affirmative defenses, and the court stated that an attempt to apply those standards on demurrer was premature. If prior to the 1963 legislation inefficient lights alone were sufficient to constitute property dangerous, then cumulatively the six defects pleaded here are sufficient at the demurrer state.
Of course, whether plaintiffs can prove what they plead or overcome the affirmative defenses which may or may not be available to the State under the government tort liability act are matters (and hurdles to overcome) not now before us. We have adverted to one of those 'hurdles' in footnote 3, supra. Another such obstacle is section 835.4 under which (in subdivision (a) of said section) a public entity is not liable for a condition of its property if the entity establishes that the act or omission was reasonable, reasonability being determined by a weighing of the probability and gravity of potential injury to persons foreseeably exposed against the practicability and cost of taking alternative action to cure the risks. Similarly, under subdivision (b) of said section the public entity is not liable if it establishes that action which it took to protect against risk or injury was reasonable. Again a weighing process takes place. (See Flournoy v. State of California, 230 Cal.App.2d 520, pp. 528—529, 41 Cal.Rptr. 190.)
Nothing herein contained should be construed as implying that the state cannot with the support of sufficient affidavits (or depositions—see Saporta v. Barbagelata, 220 Cal.App.2d 463, 469, 33 Cal.Rptr. 661) move for and obtain a summary judgment under Code of Civil Procedure section 473c.
The judgment is reversed. The trial court will overrule the demurrer and further proceedings will be had in accordance with the views expressed herein.
1. Other named defendants (City of Sacramento and County of Sacramento) sued have been dismissed from the action. Therefore, we refer to the State as the sole defendant.
2. Except as provided by statute, a public entity is liable for unjury caused by a dangerous condition of its property if the plaintiff establishes that the property was in a dangerous condition at the time of the injury, that the injury was proximately caused by the dangerous condition, that the dangerous condition created a reasonably foreseeable risk of the kind of injury which was incurred, and that either:'(a) A negligent or wrongful act or omission of an employee of the public entity within the scope of his employment created the dangerous condition; or'(b) The public entity had actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition under Section 835.2 a sufficient time prior to the injury to have taken measures to protect against the dangerous condition.'
3. Section 830.6 contains another limitation to public entity liability for dangerous and defective property. Generally there is no liability if the plan or design has been approved in advance. But there is a limitation upon this limitation. The nonliability expressed in the section exists only 'if the trial or appellate court determines that there is any substantial evidence upon the basis of which (a) a reasonable public employee could have adopted the plan or design or the standards therefor or (b) a reasonable legislative body or other body or employee could have approved the plan or design or the standards therefor.' (Stats.1963, ch. 1681, sec. 1.)In the trial court the State contended the court should take judicial notice of the fact that plans for the 16th Street bridge and approaches had been approved. It concedes on appeal that this is an affirmative defense which must be raised either at the trial or upon a motion for summary judgment. (See California Government Tort Liability, Cont. Ed. Bar, sec. 6.72, pp. 261, 262.)
4. It has been stated (by Justice Stone in Waco-Porter Corp. v. Superior Court. 211 Cal.App.2d 559, at p. 567, 27 Cal.Rptr. 371, at p. 375): '* * * Whether a particular allegation constitutes an evidentiary fact, an ultimate fact, or a conclusion of law, is sometimes difficult to determine. It is possible for a given allegation to be any one of the three, depending upon the manner in which it is used.'
5. Plaintiffs may be entitled to the presumption of Code of Civil Procedure section 1963, subdivision 4, since plaintiffs' decedent is dead. (Shoemaker v. State of California, 202 Cal.App.2d 379, 383, 20 Cal.Rptr. 812.)
6. Section 830.4 of the Government Code reads as follows: 'A condition is not a dangerous condition within the meaning of this chapter Merely because of the failure to provide regulatory traffic control signals, stop signs, yield right-of-way signs, or speed restriction signs, as described by the Vehicle Code, or distinctive roadway marking as described in Section 21460 of the Vehicle Code.'

Lighting the Path: Meet LaShawn Warren, Our New EVP of Government Affairs
Leadership Conference Resources 05.6,20
During the last reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act in 2006, George W. Bush was president and Republicans controlled the U.S. House of Representatives. With these political dynamics at play, many doubted our ability to move legislation through one chamber — let alone to the president's desk. Some openly pronounced that it would never happen. But that pronouncement did not factor in the fire, determination, and fierce commitment of a few civil rights attorneys working in coalition.
At the time, I was thrilled to head up a national campaign to renew the VRA at the American Civil Liberties Union. My colleagues and I understood the correlation between voting rights and opportunities for a better life for people of color — which only intensified our resolve. Reflecting on that time, my proudest moment after the VRA's passage was not the White House signing ceremony, but the "thank you" I received from elders of Black and Brown communities throughout the South. Woven in our efforts, they saw our shared destiny and that of future generations.
We achieved that historic victory not as individuals, but by working across party and in coalition — and importantly, by working with common purpose: to ensure our democracy works for everyone. I see that victory reflected in the story of The Leadership Conference, which has worked in coalition to successfully coordinate the lobbying efforts on every major federal civil rights law since 1957.
As I prepare to lead The Leadership Conference's Government Affairs team as the first African American woman to hold the position, I will lean on my lived experience, along with the experiences of so many who have suffered undue hardship, to inform my advocacy.
Growing up in a racially segregated city in the deep South, I had a front row seat to race and gender discrimination. As the granddaughter of sharecroppers, the niece of a Black farmer who was a party to Pigford v. Glickman, a class action racial discrimination lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture, the daughter of parents whose housing options were severely limited because of discriminatory redlining practices, and a student subject to a school desegregation busing plan, I don't have to imagine what it means to have opportunities stolen because of racism and social inequities. I have lived it. My experience and faith fuel my belief that justice can and will prevail.
Looking to the future, if we are to create a society that places people above profit and honors the dignity and humanity of every person, three values must light our path: truth, courage, and persistence.
Embossed on my law school class t-shirt is a Bible verse: "To whom much is given, much will be required." It serves as an enduring reminder that our talent, knowledge, time, and gifts are not for us alone, but should be used to uplift the beloved community — to make the world a better place. With this work comes a responsibility to speak truth even when it makes those across the table uncomfortable. People's lives depend on our willingness to speak truth to power. It is our moral imperative.
During the height of the coronavirus surge, I received a call from one of my best friends who is a surgeon in a small town in Pennsylvania. She reminded me of her preexisting conditions that would complicate her survival if she contracted the virus. Despite the great risk to her life, she, like my sister and so many other first responders, put others first. Instead of running away from the crisis, they ran to it. As civil rights advocates, we too must run toward the crisis and exercise similar courage in these moments.
Today, we stand on the shoulders of civil rights giants who modeled that courageous leadership. From A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins, Arnold Aronson, and Dorothy Height to Wade Henderson, Laura Murphy, and Elaine Jones, they consistently challenged racialized narratives that desensitize those in power to the plight of marginalized communities. They modeled the bravery and conviction we must exhibit now.
Finally, we must be persistent in our pursuit of justice — in our quest to make the invisible visible. We are in the midst of a period of great social upheaval and economic change. As we have seen in recent weeks, the federal government is helping big businesses with an infusion of funding, while leaving behind communities that are suffering. This story of injustice — of wrong versus right — is as old as America itself. And yet, against all odds, the foot soldiers who marched before us chose to believe in a better nation. They persisted, and so must we. This moment calls for new approaches and moral responses. It is our opportunity to make right these deeply entrenched wrongs.
As I assume this role, the pandemic is disrupting nearly every aspect of American life — our health, employment, housing, food security, schools, houses of worship, businesses, voting, the justice system, immigration. The list goes on, but the full scale of the devastation has yet to be told. When the dust settles and we reflect back on this moment, we will ask ourselves whether we did all we could to build a more just, compassionate, and unified nation.
Some may doubt our ability to rebuild an America closer to our ideals. But the civil rights community knows what it means to take on the impossible. To stare down injustice. And to maintain hope in a grieving world. And with that same fire, determination, and fierce commitment that has fueled our fights before — together, in coalition, we will win.
