On Tuesday, March 5, the 2019 Legislative Session officially began.
From our perspective, this session is our chance to change course on several fronts. The previous eight years setback law enforcement and corrections considerably. Now, Florida has a new Governor in Ron DeSantis, along with a new Cabinet, who hold a pro law enforcement and corrections outlook.
The most obvious setback everyone experienced was the reduction to your pension. Florida PBA has been on a "claw back" mission since 2012 to restore pension benefits across the board at both the local and state levels. We cannot get everything restored at once, but we must stop the bleeding and begin to repair what was broken. When we talk about restoring pension benefits, we include the FRS investment plan participants, too.
Here's a less obvious setback that legislation cannot fix, but building stronger relationships with Florida's top leadership can. There is a politically correct ideology that pushes extremely harsh discipline, along with aggressive micro-management and deflection of blame to subordinates. Officers under this ideological leadership do not feel like upper administrators have their backs and that they make all of their decisions base on how the media may react to a situation. The worst part of this ideology is the false impression given to people outside of the agency. From the outside, all seems fine, but internally the rank and file are suffering. The task of unmasking this behavior can be daunting, but having strong support of law enforcement and corrections from Governor Ron DeSantis and other top leaders like Lt Governor Jeanette Nunez, Attorney General Ashley Moody and Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis can help change this negative atmosphere. Thankfully, this ideology is not everywhere and if it is not happening to you, consider it the blessing of good leadership.
More money has always been our top priority, but even with the recent salary increases in certain locations, there are still many officers who are grossly underpaid for their public service and sacrifice. Florida's economy is growing, but the salaries of those who protect this state (which, by the way, greatly contributes to our positive economic growth) have not kept pace.
So that 's what this session means to us. Our chance to reset what has gone astray, rebuild what was taken, and provide what has been withheld.
Here's where we are as of today… in no particular order.
Pay raises for State Law Enforcement Officers, Lottery Law Enforcement Officers, FDLE Special Agents, Florida Highway Patrol, Correctional Probation Officers, and Correctional Officers are a yearly priority for the Florida PBA. The Legislature does not fund multiple year pay proposals. Therefore, we must request yearly increases. This year we may have an option to create internal career development plans with existing agency monies to help alleviate some of the pay burdens. We are negotiating a proposal to allow each agency the ability to create its own unique career plan if the dollars exist. PBA is also pursuing across the board raises and other pay enhancements for all of our state employee bargaining units. The pay decisions are part of the General Appropriations Act which is not decided until the first week in May.
SB 784 by Senator Joe Gruters and HB 779 by Representative Chuck Clemons will create a COLA floor of no less than 2% for all Special Risk Employees hired prior to July 1, 2011. The legislation requires a special impact study in order to become law. Our study request was submitted to the Division of Retirement this week. We have no idea what this proposal will cost and, under Florida constitution, the legislation cannot become law without the study.
SB 920 by Senator Jason Pizzo and HB 1021 by Representatives Chris Latvala is a work in progress, but we had a lot of positive discussion on the legislation this week. The idea is to help speed up the process for an arrest of a DNA match. Current law, requires a search warrant to a collect buccal swab of a person who matches the crime scene sample and the offender profile in CODIS. This step is added because sample collections are performed by humans and humans make mistakes. However, we strongly believe that a warrant for arrest should be an option available to a judge when a CODIS match is found.
SB 76 by Senator Wilton Simpson and HB 45 or 107 by Representatives Emily Slosberg and Jackie Toledo will attempt to make distracted driving, or, at a minimum, texting while driving a primary traffic offense. Our organization has been involved with this legislation for multiple years now. This week our Florida Highway Patrol Chapter President and Vice President of Legislation Bill Smith was able to place an amendment on the Senate bill which requires the vehicle to be in motion in order for any violation to occur. We thank Senators Travis Hutson and Wilton Simpson for working with us on the amendment.
We are involved in the debate around criminal justice reform which continues to advance in the Senate. The Senate is conducting a full scale review of our sentencing laws to specifically include minimum mandatory sentences for drug offenses, along incarceration models and diversion programs. This debate centers on ideology clashing with data.
We are also working with other special interests groups on an array of issues during this session. You can always the PBA if there's a question about something that we did, or did not cover in this report.
Until next time please stay safe and may God bless you.


In the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, there will be millions of people returning to their homes to assess the damage and find ways to move forward. By no means will it be an easy task.
Finding a way to return to normalcy is hard enough, but consider all the items that need to be accounted for – homes, communities and vehicles.
In fact, there were as many as 1.8 million light-duty vehicles that could be flood damaged within the 22 FEMA-designated disaster areas. While it might be the furthest thing from an individual's mind, if their vehicle was damaged, they'll likely need to purchase a replacement. And, in an area where there may be thousands of flood-damaged vehicles, consumers need to be aware. Importantly, instead of going directly to the scrapyard, some of these vehicles will show up for sale on lots all over the country.
At Experian, we want to make sure consumers are equipped with data to help make the right decisions, especially post-Florence. The dangers of purchasing a flood-damaged vehicle can include: damaged electrical components, seizing mechanical parts and corrosion. In some cases, this costly damage won't show up until years later.
Users can quickly scan or enter a VIN to identify if a vehicle has any flood damage, brands, or hurricane-related events that were reported to Experian.
Get an additional layer of insight with a FEMA advisory, which denotes whether a specific vehicle was registered or titled in a city that was declared a major disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Additionally, when purchasing a previously owned vehicle, it's important to review a vehicle history report, which—in addition to potential flood damage—includes reported accidents, branded titles, recalls, number of owners and more.
In the next few months, it will be especially critical for consumers all over the country to double check for potential flood damage when shopping for a vehicle. Having a functional, reliable vehicle is just one step on the road to normal, but it's a vital one.
The Experian Vehicle Flood Risk Check app is available for Android on Google Play and iOS in the Apple Store.

What next for the troubled Earls Court redevelopment?
There are calls for a new, green exhibition centre to replace the famous exhibition centres that were demolished
Talia ShadwellLocal Democracy Reporter
Capco has not yet revealed its plans for its troubled Earls Court development following its proposal to spin off the site from its Covent Garden project.
The property giant has not addressed widespread speculation the proposed de-merger is designed to court buyers for the Earls Court land, following years of wrangling over the future of the west London development.
But community groups are hoping the uncertainty will lead to the Earls Court masterplan being reviewed again, and asking for the creation of a new, green exhibition centre to replace the exhibition centres that were demolished in the initial phase of the development.
Meanwhile, Hammersmith and Fulham (H&F) continues to demand Capco return two housing estates located in the section of the development located in its borough to the council.

The council has launched an inquiry into the deal by the previous administration that sold them off.
The masterplan for the Earls Court opportunity area provides for 7,500 new homes and will create 10,000 jobs, new urban villages and a high street.
It required the destruction of the Earls Court exhibition centres, as well as the West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates.
Capco estimated the value of its Earls Court site at £1.4 billion in December 2015, then downgraded that to £1.2bn in its interim results last year.
Earls Court development: Huge boost to residents fighting to save their homes
It had revalued the site at £759 million by December, following the sale of the Empress State Building to the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime.
Last month Capco revealed its proposal to split off the Earls Court project from its Covent Garden development.
Its masterplan covers the Earls Court Opportunity Area, straddling Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea.
Kensington and Chelsea's leadership earlier this year said they still supported the development, however they wanted to see more social housing included in the plan.
Value of Earls Court development drops £131m
But since the Labour council took over H&F in 2014, its leadership has been calling for Capco to return the two housing estates to its control.
Following a full council meeting in January, the council has begun an inquiry into the Earls Court deal to examine the Conservative cabinet's 2012 decision to sell the estates to Capco.
The council's lawyers had written to the commercial and legal advisers appointed at the time in an effort to understand their independent advice, and what impact it had on the decision to enter what H&F leader Stephen Cowan this week labelled "a poor deal".
"We have been working with residents to help make sure their homes will always be safe from the severe challenges faced by the West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates following the deal agreed in 2012 by Capco and H&F Council," he said.
"We have committed to protect all housing estates and will develop further mechanisms to prevent any future sell off of council homes to developers."
Earls Court development: Sadiq Khan could buy 'jewel in the crown' Empress State Building
Capco this week said it remained in discussions with the council about how to develop an "enhanced masterplan" for the site, which could include an increased number of homes.
The masterplan could involve the council taking the lead on future plans for the estates, a spokeswoman said.
However, if an agreement cannot be reached with the local authority, the original land sale agreement concerning the estates would remain in place, she added.
Meanwhile, community activists are continuing a years-long campaign that began with calls to save the exhibition centres, a well-known live music and cultural venue, and is now focused on replacing them.
They are also backing unions' fight to save the Lillie Bridge Rail Depot, earmarked for demolition in the masterplan.
Bella Hardwick, from the Save Earls Court Supporters Club, has raised a petition on the 38 Degrees website that calls for London Mayor Sadiq Khan to support calls for "the world's greenest venue" to be built on part of the site.

The club wants a replacement venue to be designed via an international architecture competition.
Its vision of a new centre, to host exhibitions, music, cultural and sporting events, is backed by artist and longtime Earl's Court resident Duggie Fields.
Bella Hardwick said the Earl's Court community needed a transparent debate, and a resolution soon.
She added: "It would be better if the Mayor came along and took it over and made it his legacy for London."

As a consultant, teacher and author I am often asked about the key knowledge, skills and certifications required to be a "successful" CISO or security professional. The questions are usually around such issues as "Should I get my CISSP or CISM?" etc.
My usual response is often focused on having the "fundamentals" down pat such as understanding the business and having strong communication skills -- especially with upper management and the groups you are supporting.
This past quarter in my Masters of Infrastructure Planning and Management at the University of Washington one of our assigned readings was in my Comprehensive Emergency Planning course (IPM501). The reading was entitled, "Report of the 2013 Disciplinary Purview Focus Group: Scholarship and Research to Ground the Emerging Discipline of Emergency Management."
The report was written by a group of scholars studying the field of emergency management. Their focus "...was to identify the body of scholarship and research related to emergency management's purview that could ground the discipline, particularly as it relates to the education of students."
The report had some interesting perspectives on the subject; however, my key takeaway -- and worthy of me spending time on this blog -- is Appendix J: Skills Emergency Management Students Should be Able to Demonstrate upon Graduation.
So, to my friends, students and colleagues who ask me "What skills do I need to possess to be successful in the security field?" The list to follow is above.....then work on your technical skills such as a CISSP, etc.
Thanks to my professor, Robert Schneider Ed. D. and Director of Emergency Management for Grant County, Washington for this reading requirement...Appendix J made it worth the read.

Kids and adults celebrated their neighbourhood and some very special trees on September 25, National Tree Day, thanks to Champlain Park community members who've taken an interest in the area's bur oaks. About 70 students in Grades 2 and 6 at St. George School came out in the morning to Champlain Park to learn about the distinctive oak trees. In the evening, around 50 neighbours turned up to hear tales of the trees.
The bur oaks were once part of an ancient oak forest along the Ottawa River, say volunteers with the Champlain Oaks Project, the group that organized the event. They estimate that some of the giant trees are more than 150 years old. The group is trying to save the old-growth oaks that are threatened by infill development, and they're planting and nurturing new oaks grown from older trees' acorns.
The students planted a bur oak seedling in the park and visited two trees on Northwestern Avenue that some of them helped plant a year ago.
Jennifer Neate of Champlain Park and her homeschooled daughters Helene and Eden joined in the fun. "It's an amazing opportunity for home-schooled kids to have this kind of natural education in their own neighbourhood, and also to have the inspiration of other residents who really care about these sorts of things," says Neate.
Participants examined a cross-section of a massive bur oak trunk, touched fuzzy acorns and heard about the trees and their benefits from the Champlain Oaks Project, the Society of Ontario Nut Growers' Eastern Chapter and Hidden Harvest Ottawa. Champlain Oaks advocate Dennis Van Staalduinen connected the area's history, from Algonquin peoples through Samuel de Champlain's arrival 400 years ago to recent times, to the lifespan of one bur oak.
The celebration also demonstrated what a few people can achieve in their communities with research, action and determination. "You really have to ask questions and be curious. That's what we did," Van Staalduinen told the kids.
The group is working with the city and councillor's office to establish an interpretive display about the oaks at the park's field house. They've also proposed that 10 of the bur oaks be included in the city's heritage register.

Euphoria's Jacob Elordi says he was sleeping on a friend's sofa and had less than $800 left in his account before starring as Nate Jacobs
Actor Jacob Elordi explains his financial issues during shooting of 2019's Euphoria.
By Jason Porter
10th Aug 2022, 3:14pm
Jacob Elordi has revealed that he was sleeping on a friend's sofa, before his starring role as Nate Jacobs in Euphoria.
The actor, 25, from Australia, gained notoriety after starring in 2018's The Kissing Booth as Noah Flynn. Despite the success of the film, Jacob claims his finance were so unstable that he had to move back to LA after filming in South Africa.
Jacob went on to join Euphoria, which after its 2019 debut became one of the most watched shows on HBO and HBO Max.
Speaking to GQ, Jacob explained that he was having difficulty booking jobs after his role in The Kissing Booth.
"I think I had – I don't know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account – and Euphoria was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate," Jacob said.
The actor, who was dating The Kissing Booth co-star Joey King until their break-up in 2018, explained that he had boxes overflowing in his car due to his poor living conditions.
Having heard about his situation, a producer booked Jacob a room at the Standard in West Hollywood.
According to Bio Overview, Jacob now has a net worth of $3 million dollars.
He has a variety brand deals including Just Jared, Netflix and Leica Camera, which he promotes on his social media and recently became the new face of Boss Perfume.
Jacob had a huge interest in the entertainment industry from childhood, with Heath Ledger, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman among his idols.
In 2015, Jacob began to pursue his dream by appearing in a short film called 'Carpe Liam', where he played the character of 'Liam', followed by another short film called 'Max & Losefa'.
Back in 2017, he gained a role in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The film was a major success and was nominated for numerous awards at the Teen Choice Awards.
In 2022, Jacob featured in 'Deep Water' as Charlie De Lisle and he is set to have roles in the upcoming 'He Went That Way' and 'Saltburn'.
Born: 26 June 1997, in Australia
Lives: $2 million home in Byron Bay
Relationship: Oliva Jade Giannulli
Wealth: Estimated net worth of $3 million
Jacob praised the production team during Euphoria's intense filming process, which has been described as "complex".
"What everyone's seeing on television, the shots that people are talking about, the feelings that they get, the conversation that's around the show, that's because certain shots take 30-something takes," Jacob explained.
The actor and Jacob met on set of The Kissing Booth during 2018 and started dating shortly after. The two started to become distant from each other when Jacob got assigned to his Euphoria role in 2019 .
After their break-up, the pair deleted all traces of their relationship on social media.
Kaia and Jacob were dating for just over a year. They were first seen during 2020 strolling arm in arm with each other, before sharing pictures of themselves on Instagram confirming the relationship.
In late 2021, rumours sparked that Kaia had taken down pictures showing them together and it was eventually confirmed in November the same year by Page Six.
Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman
Zendaya and Jacob were never confirmed to be dating, however it was rumoured in early 2020.
Sources told E! that they began as "close friends" but became romantic when filming on Euphoria finished.
The relationship looked completely finished in summer 2020 when Jacob became extremely close to Kaia Gerber. Zendaya would later go on to date Marvel's Spider-Man Tom Holland.

Q: How to define Eclipse external null annotations for parameters in JRE methods I am trying to annotate the JRE method <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) from java.util.Set using Eclipse's external null annotations. The expected effect should be equivalent to this:
 public interface Set<E> extends Collection<E> {
     ...
     <T> T @NonNull[] toArray(T @NonNull[] a);
     ...
 }

When using Eclipse's Annotate command I can annotate the return type of the method properly (after I selected the T[] and position the cursor before the [). However trying to do the same with the parameter fails. Pressing Cmd-1 simply beeps, as does selecting "Annotate" when calling the command from the context menu.
I finally ended up editing the corresponding Set.eea file manually to defined the required annotation, taking care of the proper eea file layout. I.e. I changed the annotatedSignature in:
class java/util/Set
toArray
 <T:Ljava/lang/Object;>([TT;)[TT;
 <T:Ljava/lang/Object;>([TT;)[1TT;

to
 <T:Ljava/lang/Object;>([1TT;)[1TT;

This works fine and the annotation is correctly processed by the compiler.
As I can annotate the return type but not a parameter type I am wondering what I am doing wrong. Or is this a limitation of the current Eclipse version?
I am using Eclipse Mars Release (4.5.0, Build id: 20150621-1200)
 and jdk1.8.0_60.

A: This is a bug indeed, I just filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/477461 to track this.
This was bug 464081 which got fixed for 4.6 M1 (i.e., is available in current builds towards Eclipse Neon) and is currently proposed for 4.5.2 (Mars.2)

Presidential speech attendees reflect on the experience
(Photo by NICOLE COOKE, digitalBURG) UCM President Charles Ambrose speaks with Missouri Innovation Campus student Brian Green, who introduced President Barack Obama Wednesday, during the post-speech community event in the Elliott Union.
By NICOLE COOKE
(WARRENSBURG, Mo., digitalBURG) – After a week of preparation, the big event was finally here, and it started early. For some people anyway.
Tim and Dollie Jackson wanted to get the best spot possible for the president's speech so their two young children could have a good view. For the Jackson's, that meant arriving at the University of Central Missouri at 5 a.m., making them first in line to enter the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. Dollie barely received tickets on Monday, so she didn't want to press her luck again.
"I got lucky on getting tickets. I showed up at the very end," she said. "After that, I decided I didn't want to risk it today."
The couple came prepared with lawn chairs and an umbrella to shade them from the hot sun. Even though they had to wait almost 12 hours to see President Barack Obama, they thought it was worth it.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime event," Tim said. "Especially for our kids. They may never get this chance again."
For others, their day didn't start so early, but it ended pretty lucky.
Warrensburg resident Sue Engelmann and her friends arrived at UCM around 1:30 p.m., just before the doors opened. However, they managed to land themselves in the second row of attendees. But Engelmann's luck didn't end there. She also got to shake hands with the big man himself.
"It was exciting; it was thrilling," she said. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Her favorite part of Obama's speech was hearing him talk about the Missouri Innovation Campus.
The MIC initiative is a way to reduce student debt and the time it takes to earn a college degree by allowing students to begin before they even graduate high school. The initiative combines business partners, local school districts and college sponsors to create opportunities for students they might not have otherwise.
Don Nissanka, one of the two men who had the original idea for the MIC and pitched it to UCM President Charles Ambrose, was at the speech. Being in attendance meant hearing praise for the program he helped create.
"It was an idea, a back of a napkin idea. We collaborated, put together the curriculum, and we ended up developing the structure of it, and it got national recognition," he said. "For Obama to be here for the small, simple idea that UCM created jointly with partners like our company, it's a huge, huge plus. It's a historic day for the university, but I also think it's a historic day for the state of Missouri to have a sitting president attend a university like UCM."
Nissanka is president and CEO of Exergonix, a renewable energy business in Lee's Summit, Mo., that is one of the MIC partners. Nissanka said Exergonix was intended to be the anchor company for the campus, and they are working to develop the campus "to a level where it is a little more than a small campus isolated in Lee's Summit."
Nissanka had the chance to meet Obama once the speech was over.
"I had the chance to take a picture with the president and meet him in person. I'm just thrilled," he said. "I'm an alumni of UCM, and a distinguished alumni of UCM. For him to be on this campus and for me to be a part of it, is just so exciting."
He said he felt the attention the MIC gained from the president's speech will hopefully help it grow not only in state, but grow nationally.
Lee's Summit North graduate Kevin Schulmeister decided to be a MIC student because it gives him an accelerated education. The cost was pretty convincing as well.
He has spent his summer as a paid intern with Cerner, working with internal networks on the company's various campuses. Today he spent his time with his fellow MIC students listening to Obama's speech, followed by a rare privilege – meeting the president of the United States.
One MIC student had an even bigger opportunity than the rest. Senior Brian Green gave a short speech about the MIC and then introduced Obama, which he said was "an honor and a humbling experience." That introduction was followed by a handshake, and a hug.
"I shook his hand like three times today and I'm still trying to get over that," Green said. "I wasn't expecting a hug. Maybe a fist bump or handshake, but it was pretty cool. It's not everyday you get to do that."
MIC students weren't the only students in attendance. Incoming UCM freshmen attending the IMPACT retreat spent their afternoon in the recreation center for the speech, and their seats were significantly better than everyone else's – directly behind Obama.
"(Being on stage was) really cool because not everyone has the chance to see Obama, let alone stand behind him and be shown on TV while he was talking," said IMPACT student John Fiorello. "It's really insane. That's the word I have for it."
Before Obama shook Engelmann's hand, and before Green introduced him, the event started with the pledge of allegiance, which was started by UCM senior and UCM Student Government Association President Christina Parle. She attended the rehearsal the night before, and had been going over the pledge a lot, just to brush up. Even with all her practice, she said it was the "most nerve-wracking thing ever in the entire world."
Parle's favorite quote from Obama's speech was when he said, "And if we don't invest in American education, then we're going to put our kids, our workers, our countries, our businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Because if you think it's — if you think education is expensive, you should see how much ignorance is going to cost in the 21st century. It's going to be expensive."
"We're in a deadlock in Congress. You can't blame Congress and you can't blame the president. I think the blame has to be shared," she said. "I think that's an issue that we're seeing. The blame is being put on the president and I think he made it very clear today that it's not just his fault. It's the fault of a deadlock."
Parle also was among the few lucky attendees who got to shake Obama's hand. The man next to her told Obama he had some ideas, and Obama gladly listened. Parle said it was great to see a real interaction, rather than a president that would've brushed off the man's ideas.
"Today's events can't be put into words," Parle said. "I can tell you a million times that today was amazing and awesome, but those words can't even begin to encapsulate what today felt like or meant to me."
Once the speech was over and Obama had left the stage to meet MIC students, Warrensburg Mayor Charlie Rutt stayed at the recreation center a little longer, talking with politicians and residents.
"The chance for many being able to be near the president of the United States is probably pretty small. It's a special moment," he said. "Did I expect to be able to experience this in my lifetime? No, but it's been a treat, a pleasure, an honor to have him in our community and on our campus."
Rutt also understood the significance of Obama's presence in Warrensburg, not just as a mayor, but also as a regular citizen.
"We're talking about not only the significance of Obama being in Warrensburg, but also the University of Central Missouri. We know what a good community we are. When we prosper, the university prospers and vice versa," he said. "The greatest thing that has happened is we are being recognized as a community of education and businesses for doing great things and getting that message out to a larger audience. It's a big thing for Obama to be here."

Generation Z Goes to College offers readers insight as to how the new generation of college students prefer learning, engaging with peers, and what motivates them. A common theme throughout Generation Z Goes to College is social media and emerging technologies. Social media plays a pivotal role in how the new generation engages with others, expresses their cares, concerns, and relationships. Authors, Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace, highlight developing college students' values that shape their decision-making processes. Within 224 pages (an introduction and 10 chapters) Seemiller and Grace explore how the next wave of college students will change the landscape of higher education.
In the introduction to Generation Z Goes to College, Seemiller and Grace provide a rationale for studying the newest generation entering college and the importance for student affairs practitioners to understand how to best motivate, engage, and educate Generation Z. Seemiller and Grace share with readers the methodology of their quantitative and qualitative research findings, and implications for those working with college students.
Chapter one, "Who is Generation Z?" provides information and data on what shaped previous generation's perspectives. A thorough explanation of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. This introduction provides readers foundational explanations of these generations and the major events, which have shaped and influenced their lens. The chapter concludes with discussion and consideration of characteristics and values of Generation Z. A sample of these characteristics Generation Z possess includes compassion, loyalty, open-mindedness, and responsibility.
"Beliefs and Perspectives", chapter two, explores viewpoints Generation Z embrace based on the impact of major world events and technological advances. The connectedness of Generation Z could be beneficial for educators to thoughtfully engage with students. Seemiller and Grace provide extensive observations on how the newest generation entering college participate in religion, political ideologies on social matters, and are concerned with financial literacy.
Chapter three "Communication Platforms and Preferences" and chapter 4, "Social Media Use" describe Generation Z's preferred methods of interaction with others on and offline. Seemiller and Grace detail the types of sharing that occurs on social [End Page 101] media platforms and explores how gender influences one's usage of social media. Seemiller and Grace share which social media platforms woman are the majority.
The themes that intertwine with who comprises Generation Z's inner circle is the focus of chapter five "Friends, Family, and Romance". Seemiller and Grace describe the diverse nature of Generation Z's relationships, and how these relationships are heavily influence by the digital world. Unlike other previous generations, Generation Z utilizes social media as an avenue to build trust and create a sense of community.
Chapter six, "Care and Concern" details issues that Generation Z hold of highest importance. These issues include: school violence, living in an era of constant war, information technology security, and the cost of higher education. Of relevance to student affairs practitioners is the rising cost of higher education. One strategy presented for educators is to condense non-academic related student services to reduce the financial burden for Generation Z.
Chapter seven, "Engagement and Social Change" explores how Generation Z consumes and disseminates the news. This chapter foreshadows how Generation Z will engage in politics and voting. Understanding how to engage Generation Z civically, while focusing on their passion areas, will be useful concepts for student affairs practitioners. Changing the world is a theme used by Seemiller and Grace to describe how Generation Z will live their values through lifestyle changes. This chapter highlights how Generation Z currently engages and supports personal views in the political realm.
Leadership is the focus of chapter eight, "Leadership Styles and Capacities." The authors discuss how Generation Z defines leadership, and what they value in leaders. To illustrate how leadership (and terminology related to leadership) has evolved, leadership is defined through the lens of each generation described in the introduction with particular focus on how Generation Z define leadership and determine who is a leader.

Climate Action, Structure, Power
March 31, 2019 posted by Left Turn editors
by Martin Boksenbaum
Two lines from T.S. Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men" meant little to me until thinking about how to talk about what needs to be done, what we need to do, to address the climate crisis. Although certainly not what T.S. had mind, those lines have considerable relevance for thinking about the character of current protest movements in the United States, no put-down intended:
"Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion;"
Like amoeboid blobs, not that amoebas aren't wonderfully successful in their own way. But wouldn't it be better if protest movements were more vertebrate-like in character? Think about what an organizational version of the vertebral head and central nervous system could do for protest movements. Eyes, ears, mouths, brains and the rest of the central nervous system providing frameworks for action, continuity, coordination of and among the billions of networking, interacting cells of which they are comprised, receiving and processing information about the world, enabling and activating purposeful movement of the whole entity.
Folks in protest movements are recognizing, more and more, that in order to un- paralyze us, to keep from pulling in different directions and ending up going nowhere, we need to work on our various efforts through collaborative organizational structures.
And that, yes indeed, the various matters addressed are interconnected. And that we need more than gestures—we need to take actions that really move us forward.
How is that playing out here in the Lehigh Valley? Case in point: climate action.
Dialogue is bringing attention to bear on the interconnectedness of matters related to the climate crisis. We are developing a knowledge base that provides better understanding. The climate crisis is now seen as a manifestation of systemic dysfunction. Causally connected to the climate crisis: political-economic pressures, energy matters, industrial agriculture, emotional and belief disconnects, and population growth. And to address the climate crisis effectively, we need folks in each of those arenas to work with the folks in the other arenas. Three examples of what such holistic approach looks like organizationally:
1. The Sustainability Commons provides a democratic, collaborative, activist framework for sharing, discussing, planning, and moving forward. Tom Moroz discusses it at length in his essay. In the past year, the Alliance has developed this online workspace for people to work both on their individual interests as well as to collaborate on "social, economic, and environmental issues that are important to all of us in the Lehigh Valley". [more information].
2. Community Bills of Rights à la CELDF (Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund) provide frameworks for organizing and empowering communities.
"Community Rights is a paradigm shift", a move away from a "structure of state and federal law in place that preempts local decision making, and that forces harmful activities such as fracking and factory farming into communities — despite community opposition and harm to the public health and environment", and a move toward community decision-making, while recognizing and protecting our interdependence with nature. "Recognizing that communities want
to do more than just say 'no' to harmful activities, and in fact wish to put in place their vision for healthy, thriving communities, CELDF works with them to develop Community Bills of Rights that establish the right to clean air and water, sustainable energy, sustainable food systems, and the rights of nature".
The value of such an organizational approach to the municipalities of the Lehigh Valley is mind-boggling. It is quite in line with the Transition Town way of building municipal communities and it provides a vertebral framework upgrade from the amoeboid gradualist struggles of Gar Alperovitz's "evolutionary reconstruction" (in which a variety of economic struggles are nibbling away at big finance capitalism and creating a new economy that serves the people).
3. Lehigh Valley Committee of 100 / Green Shadow Cabinet/Government is an organizational arrangement that pro- vides a platform and a voice for a holistic sustainability approach.
The Green Shadow Cabinet of the United States includes nearly 100 prominent scientists, community and labor leaders, physicians, cultural workers, veterans, and more, and provides an ongoing opposition and alternative voice to the dysfunctional government in Washington D.C. As with shadow cabinets in other countries, the Green Shadow Cabinet of the United States responds to actions of the government in office and demonstrates that an- other government is possible."
We could take this a step further, by using such an organizational structure to develop ways for moving us forward in ad- dressing the climate crisis and for bypassing the blockages of the dysfunctional, mainstream system. With climate action as one of its major sectors, a Lehigh Valley Green Shadow Cabinet / Lehigh Valley Committee of 100, could be the organizational structure providing continuity, coordination, activation, movement. For information or to get involved, contact the Alliance Steering Committee.
Our number one priority for climate and other sustainability action is to help build and make use of organizational structures that will facilitate our working together. From such organizational frameworks will come decisive, well thought out, coherent analyses, positions, and programs that will provide us with the basis for effective action and give us political clout.
Martin is a member of the Alliance Steering Committee

ICE deported the husband of a US soldier killed in Afghanistan, then reversed the decision with no explanation
Haley Britzky
The husband of a fallen U.S. soldier was deported last week — leaving his 12-year-old daughter with her grandparents — and then quickly readmitted to the country on Monday without explanation.
Jose Gonzalez Carranza married Army Pfc. Barbara Vieyra in 2007, three years after he came to the U.S. illegally from Veracruz, Mexico, The Arizona Republic reports.
In September 2010, Vieyra was killed in Afghanistan. She was 22 years old; the couple's daughter, a U.S. citizen, was three at the time.
Gonzalez Carranza was allowed to stay in the U.S. following Vieyra's death due to the "parole in place" policy, which makes individuals "eligible for parole in place in 1-year increments" if they are the spouse, widow(er), child, or parent of a U.S. service member, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services,
According to the Arizona Republic, Carranza's deportation proceedings were "terminated" by an immigration judge because of the parole in place, but ICE reopened the case last year with no clear explanation. He has no criminal record, his attorney Ezequiel Hernandez said.
Carranza was subsequently ordered deported in December 2018, but he claims he didn't know until ICE agents showed up at his door last Monday because ICE sent the paperwork to the wrong address, per the Arizona Republic.
Carranza's daughter stayed with her grandparents while her father was living in a shelter in Nogales, Mexico, per the Republic. He didn't tell her he had been deported "because he was afraid she would be further traumatized."
Hernandez said he was notified on Monday that his client would be allowed back into the United States. Gonzalez Carranza was transported from the U.S.-Mexico border, to a Customs and Border Protection facility in Tucson, Arizona, and then to Phoenix where he was released.
ICE did not respond immediately to request for comment from Task & Purpose. Army spokeswoman Liz Chamberlain referred immigration questions to the Department of Homeland Security.

DAMASCUS, (ST) – "Syria will defend itself against any aggression .The threats to launch a direct aggression on Syria would only enhance its firm principles and independent decision simply because this stems from its people's will, "emphasized President Bashar Al-Assad .
President Al-Assad's confirmation came during a meeting H.E. held Thursday with a Yemeni delegation comprising a number of political dignitaries and MPs of the Yemeni Parliament.
During the meeting ,President Al-Assad made it clear that Syria, based on its people's steadfastness and brave army, will continue eradicating terrorism which is utilized by Israel and the western countries to serve their interests in fragmenting the region.
The President highlighted the popular awareness in the Arab world ,branding this awareness as an essential factor in foiling the schemes targeting the region.
" The peoples are the genuine makers of relations among countries and the popular state guarantees victory and this is what is happening in Syria, "asserted Al-Assad.

VIDEO: World Series by Renault opener affected by huge crash
By Luke SmithApr 12, 2014, 12:30 PM EDT
The 2014 World Series by Renault season kicked off in Italy today at the historic Autodromo Nazionale Monza, with the series being acknowledged as one of Formula 1's primary feeder series. All of the drivers lining up on the grid were keen on starting their years in style in the hopes of following in the footsteps of 2013 champion and McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen.
However, the year did not start as Marco Sørensen and Jazeman Jaafar (pictured) would have hoped. The two drivers were fighting for position down the main straight, but Sørensen – who is the leading light in Lotus F1 Team's junior programme – seemed to misjudge where Jaafar was on track.
Sørensen began to squeeze Jaafar to the right hand side of the track, causing the two drivers to touch. The Lotus driver's car flipped and collided into the pit wall with some force before travelling some distance on its side. The car eventually came to rest at pit exit. Jaafar went in the opposite direction and hit the wall with some force, albeit the right way up.
Remarkably, both drivers walked away unharmed despite this horror shunt. However, Sørensen was handed a five place grid penalty for causing the incident.
The race was won by Britain's Will Stevens, who is a member of Caterham's junior programme. Red Bull youngster Pierre Gasly finished third on his Formula Renault 3.5 debut, whilst Sauber's Sergey Sirotkin finished in eighth place.

HOLLOW ELECTION CAMPAIGN SPEECHES
Okello Oculi canvasses sanctions against election campaigns deliberately meant to deceive the people
Candidate Bill Clinton once became alarmed about candidates paying brilliant psychologists to design television advertisements for manipulating voters in American elections. Accordingly, there were severe declines in people casting their votes.
Nigeria's Independent National Election Commission reported on 31st December, 2022 that two million people had not collected their Voter Cards in Lagos State alone. In a previous election in Anambra State only 10 per cent of registered voters had voted.
Clinton's "It's the Economy Stupid'' shaped what American voters should worry about. He played a saxophone inside a club to draw out those alienated from voting.
He also passionately embraced Ms LOWINSKY during a campaign beat. His focus on the economy touched hearts and minds of many who were not raking millions out of the American economy. They gave him their votes.
In African politics, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere focused on how the economic benefit of common citizens by creating ''UJAMAA VILLAGES''. Rural households were assembled to enable them share access roads, boreholes, health clinics, fertilizers, and schools. They pooled their labour and sweat to create common large farms and earn higher incomes.
Socialist critics from Sweden and Norway accused the scheme for not being a ''SOCIALIST''. Nyerere's retort was contemptuous. Colonialism, he said, did NOT build industries similar to what created Britain's capitalists and millions of productive angry ''proletariat'' revolting and capturing a capitalist economy from a selfish ''bourgeoisie''.
Germany and Britain had treated Tanganyika's peasant farmer with genocidal brutalities and exploitation. It was angry villagers who voted his political party into power; and deserved to be rewarded.
Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana alarmed British and American diplomats by sending to East Germany, Hungary and other Communist countries thousands of youth graduates from Primary and Secondary Schools.
They learnt vital skills, including: painting houses; tailoring; furniture-making; motor mechanics and fabrication. They would not be like the few graduates of Engineering who cannot repair a mechanical fault in a car or truck.
Nkrumah probably wished to follow Japan's road of FABRICATING machines they import from Euro-America; Ghana's economy evolving from a market to becoming a competitor. Politically, the youth would NOT become angry swamps of unemployed youths.
In Tunisia under Habib Bourguiba focused on taking economic resources to the masses by reversing Europe's model of a majority of the population working inside urban-based industries, urban services, while a minority worked in large farms which feed urban populations and factories. Government helped rural cooperatives to fabricate and invent machines for processing their farm products for export to urban and foreign markets.
Nyerere and Bourguiba remained highly popular. They believed in, and practiced open discussion with the people in CREATIVE speech about policy choices. Bourguiba persuaded religious leaders to proclaim that any educated person who chose to be a French citizen would not be buried according to Islamic rites. He won women's right to education; and that it was against national development to weaken Tunisians with Ramadan FASTING while Europeans are working with full strength.
Cuba shows a rich example of a poor post-colonial and highly exploited country exciting his people into patriotic creativity. With speeches which lasted over FIVE HOURS, he built creative public resistance to America's military, economic, political and propaganda hostilities. With voluntary community cleanup activities, they collectively eliminated MALARIA from their country without reliance on chemical poisons to eliminate mosquitoes. Their scientists are constantly inventing vaccines and pharmaceutical medicines due to calls to defend Cuba's freedom against a real enemy 90 km away.
President Mobutu Sese Seko adopted Fidel Castro's marathon speeches around the country to build hope, pride, self-reliance and creativity among people who had suffered from civil wars from independence on June 30, 1960 to mid-1970s. His people's music chased Euro-American pop music out of Africa. The inventive creativity of woman was capped by an invention of mechanical traffic police gadget.
The United States continues to use speech to sustain a culture of INVENTION; joining in VOLUNTARY community activities, to fight over racial discrimination and economic inequalities.
Hollow campaign speeches poison political culture by showing voters that politicians regard them as ignorant, helpless and gullible idiots.
In Uganda's 2020 elections, President Museveni's tactic of blaming Member of Parliament from constituencies in Buganda for lack of government services in constituencies did not prevent Bobby Wine's party from sweeping polls in the region. Nigeria's media should educate politicians about this tradition of building nations under difficult condition.
Hollow election campaign speeches have corrupted electoral culture and induced ''vote selling''. Kenya outlawed ''Hate Speech''. Hollow election campaign speeches deserve similar legislation.

Abstract: Parents, as Santa Claus can give children Airwheel Z3 electric scooter at Christmas. That stuff is speedy, and scintillating that can satisfy some pick parents.
The most popular festival—Christmas is coming; Santa Claus is riding a reindeer with a big sack of gifts for children. Certainly children are expecting the arrival of Santa Claus because the special grandpa will stuff all gifts into the hoses hanging on the Christmas trees. In fact, Father Christmas is parents, and they play the role of Santa Claus to give children gifts. As we know, children have also the strong desire to freely get around.
Z3 is added some bike-like handlebars for hands, and rolls on two 8-inch tires boasting the maximum speed 20 kilometers per hour meeting the need for speed. Two foldable pedals are located between two tires for feet.
Battery location design is beyond most people's expectation. It is positioned on the operating arm that is easy for parents or even children themselves to replace battery with a fresh one. Maybe some parents will worry about their kids is not tall enough to reach the handlebar. Luckily, Z3's electric scooter handlebar is adjustable with the scope from 130m to 190mm. The retractable kickstand is easy for parking. Moreover, a taillight is installed for a safe ride. This scooter can be packed in a small carton. It will not affect parent to wrap it into a handsome present.
This Airwheel Z3, a speedy, scintillating, yet safe electric scooter that is one of those go-to goodies which fuses fun with functionality, offering lessons learned through the thrills of steering and acceleration. All while it gives children a fulfilling and responsible sense of freedom. There is a fringe benefit for the parent that is Airwheel Z3 can be used as a personal transport when the naughty kid is tired of it. So it can be shared as a gift of the whole family.
Next:In 2015 EICMA, three latest products presentation of Airwheel—Z3, M3 and S6 arise widely interest.

I think botany is one of the least exciting branches of science. With the exception of carnivorous plants, such as the Venus flytrap and the pitcher plant, and the poisonous ones, there's not a lot of plants that could capture one's imagination. I mean, plants just stand there, swaying in the wind, bearing fruits that animals would just eat, until some hapless human hacks them away for firewood. They can't really move, unlike the fictional triffids, or talk to each other and kill people, like the plants in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening. Only vegans get excited by them.
But my somewhat tepid view of plants got bumped up a little when me and my frields Joan and Ian visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge. Aside from the 50-foot kronosaur and the million-years-old coelacanth, one of the popular attractions of the museum is the Glass Flowers collection. No, it's not some new species of silica-based dicotyledon, but rather models of plants and flowers crafted from glass.
The models were crafted by Leupold and Rudolf Blaschka, a father and son team from Hosterwitz, Germany. The founder of Harvard University's Botanical Museum commissioned the models as teaching tools, and these were created from 1887 to 1936. It is said that no other craftsmen can and have succeeded in recreating the models.
What's so unique about the models is that they were so life-like, anatomically correct and intricate. I found it hard to believe that the models were made of glass when I first saw them, I thought they were real, or at least preserved specimen.
The models were very accurate too. If you look closely you can see even the smallest details, the barbs on the leaves, the stigma and the filaments inside the flowers, the gnarled stems and roots. The plants were made at scale, although the models representing the parts, such as those of a flower, were made bigger, as if viewed on a microscope. My favorite of all the models is, you guessed right, the carnivorous pitcher plant (top photo).
The gallery for the Glass Flowers collection is not very large. You can circle the gallery in less than an hour, but you'd probably spend more time than that because they look so fascinating (and you have to walk slowly as not to bump into the cases and break stuff). Of course not all models were on display, as others were being restored.
The collection, with about 3,000 models covering about 800 species, is housed in glass display cases and cabinets that filled the small viewing area. I was too careful in moving around and when taking pictures, as even though they are secured inside the glass cabinets, I'm concerned that I might lean on them too much and break them like a Philistine.
I tried identifying some of plants and flowers that I see, just to make things more interesting. I was also looking for plants that are endemic to the Philippines and I think I saw a few, which made the visit even cooler.
The museum is open daily, except Christmas, New Year, and Thanksgiving, from 9am to 5pm. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for children, and $10 for non-Harvard students.
The price of the ticket includes admission to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. The gift shop is located at the second floor near the entrance.


As you can see, I have more releases then commits. A build was triggered by a commit, but this doesn't explain why.
I tried switching it up so it only builds when you put [build] in the commit message – which resulted in having to commit the yaml file as the feature isn't available via the web interface, it does make sense to have this under version control. However it continued to loop.
An email off to support resulted in speedy response.
Add "skip_tags: true" to your appveyor.yml.
I'm grateful I'm not paying per build! Hopefully this will serve as a warning for others.
I've started to remove the releases but I've hit the API limit last night. Hopefully I'll clean up my PowerShell script to deal with it, failing that I may have to rely on the kindnesses of GitHub human.
I've managed to remove the duff tags as well and SIMS Bulk Import is down to two releases on GitHub. I've been slightly heavy handed when it came to deleting. Thankfully all the duff releases where pre-release so the problem wasn't as bad is it could have been.

Q: Prove the uniqueness of poisson equation with robin boundary condition We have $\Delta u=f$ in $D$, and $\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial n}+au=h$ on boundary of D, where $D$ is a domain in three dimension and $a$ is a positive constant. $\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial n}=\triangledown u\cdot n$ ($n$ is normal vector).
My thoughts: Suppose there are $u_1$ and $u_2$, satisfis the above equations. Let $w=u_1-u_2$, then we have $\Delta w=0$ in $D$, and $\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial n}=-aw$ on boundary of D. Maximum modulus principle may be useful but I don't know where to put it in. And energy method seems not helpful in this question.
Any help would be appreciated!

A: $\newcommand{div}{\nabla \cdot} \newcommand{grad}{\nabla}$
Start by taking $w$ as in your question so that $\Delta w = 0$ in $D$ and $\frac{\partial w}{\partial n} = -aw$ on $\partial D$ as you note.
Also note the following identity for the divergence operator for a scalar field $\phi$ and a vector field $\bf F$
$$\div (\phi {\bf F}) = \phi \div {\bf F} + \grad \phi \cdot {\bf F}$$
Then consider
$$\iiint_D \div(w \grad w) dV = \iiint_D w \Delta w + (\grad w)^2 dV = \iiint_D (\grad w)^2 dV \geq 0$$ since $\Delta w = 0$ in $D$.
But also by the divergence theorem
$$\iiint_D \div(w \grad w) dV = \iint_{\partial D} w \grad w \cdot {\bf dS} = \iint_{\partial D} w\grad w \cdot {\bf n} ds = \iint_{\partial D} -aw^2 ds \leq 0$$
Hence $$\iiint_D (\grad w)^2 dV = 0 \implies \grad w = 0 \mbox{ in } D$$
This gives us that $w$ is a constant so that solutions are unique up to a constant.

A Heartbeat and a Guitar
Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears
by Antonino D'Ambrosio
Nonfiction / Music / History & Criticism
A Heartbeat and a Guitar tells of the collaboration of two distinct yet connected musicians–iconoclast Johnny Cash and pioneering folk artist Peter La Farge– Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian, the album that influenced the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. In this intimate portrayal of the two musicians, D'Ambrosio interviewed surviving members of Cash's band, his producers, and admirers Pete Seeger and Kris Kristofferson. He renders a dramatic picture of both an era of radical protest and the making of one of the most controversial and enduring works of political pop art of the 1960s.
A Heartbeat and a Guitar is the inspiration for the new album "Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears revisited" featuring a collective of top Americana artists including Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, and Kris Kristofferson.
"With his latest, A Heartbeat and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears, D'Ambrosio offers a fascinating account of how that album embodied the true grit of Cash's courage and conviction."—The Boston Globe
"Though many books have been recently written about Johnny Cash, this one provides an original perspective on Cash's ability to span musical boundaries. Recommended for fans of social history or American popular music." –Library Journal
"This book is a truly fascinating journey, charting the historical and social context of a courageous musical statement by one of our greatest rebel voices. It has since been locked away in the 'denial drawer' (aren't First Nations people just an extinct species, systematically exterminated by European 'progress'?), but D'Ambrosio admirably shines his investigative lantern into every darkened corner, finally offering some greatly appreciated illumination."—Jim Jarmusch, filmmaker
"Antonino D'Ambrosio's A Heartbeat and a Guitar is a beautiful and inspiring book. D'Ambrosio's possess the rarest of gifts, an artist who infuses his work with compassion and courage." —Pete Seeger, musician
"Antonino D'Ambrosio's book on the making of Johnny Cash's album "Bitter Tears" is much more than the story behind those extraordinary songs. It is a rich history, not only of Johnny Cash's life, but of the Indian struggle for justice, which inspired Peter La Farge to write the song 'The Ballad of Ira Hayes' and Cash to sing it. The book is full of fascinating character sketches of the great folk singers of the Sixties, and their part in the social movements of that exciting era. I believe D'Ambrosio has made an important contribution to the cultural history of our time." –Howard Zinn, historian

Tire rotation refers to the movement of tires to different positions on the vehicle. This is done to equalize tread wear of your tires, and should be part of your vehicle regular maintenance schedule. Because each tire on your car supports a different amount of weight, your tires can wear at different rates. By rotating your tires, you can extend their useful life.
When you purchase your tires from Dunn Tire, our Out-The-Door Pricing includes FREE Lifetime Tire Rotations. This will save you hundreds of dollars over the life of your tires.
The interval most vehicle and tire makers recommend is every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, and even more frequently if you have a Front-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive or 4-Wheel drive vehicle. An easy interval to remember is to have your tires rotated every other oil change.
If your tires show signs of irregular or uneven tread wear, bring your vehicle to any Dunn Tire location to have one of our service technicians locate the cause of the wear problem.
NOTE: Do not include a "Temporary Use Only" spare tire in any of the rotation patterns shown. If you have a matching full-size tire as a spare and wish to include it in the rotation process, use one of the patterns shown. Insert the spare in the right rear position and place the tire that would have gone on the right rear in the trunk as the new spare.
Some tires cannot be rotated in the manners described including uni-directional tires and tires with asymmetric tread designs. Also, some vehicles may have different-sized tires mounted on the front and rear axles, and these different-sized tires also have rotation restrictions. Check your owner's manual for the proper rotation recommendations for these special cases.
*Consult your tire maintenance and warranty manual for complete details.


In the Republic of Moldova, the "Gender and Generations" study will be launched for the first time, which will highlight the demographic trends and challenges in order to develop evidence-based policies. On Tuesday, the 22nd of January, a Memorandum agreement to conduct the study was signed between The Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Protection, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI).
The event took place as a regional workshop, attended by official representatives and demographic experts from 17 countries. They shared their experience when it comes to the organization of the "Gender and Generations" study, one of the largest demographic studies on the international level to be held in our country in 2019, with a sample of 10,000 people.
"Evidence-based data is the basis for effective policy making. The demographic situation in our country requires immediate action. That is why the realization of this study will help us develop policies and strategies for improving the demographic situation and for properly addressing the concerns of individuals, families and society in general," said MoHealth State Secretary General, Boris Gilca.
"Collecting quality data is essential for better understanding the structure of current families and the choices of couples to plan and deliver the desired number of children. UNFPA welcomes the launch of the "Gender and Generations" Programme in Moldova and reaffirms the organization's support to provide technical assistance and expertise to conduct the study at the highest international standards based on the experience and practices from other countries," said UNFPA Representative in Moldova, Rita Columbia.
"The "Gender and Generations" survey is an ambitious programme and therefore the task facing us, namely the realization of this ample study, is a challenge for us. That is why we hope that in this workshop we will get answers to the questions and risks related to data collection, but especially we will understand how these challenges have been dealt with by countries that have already conducted such a study," said the director general of the NBS, Vitalie Valcov.
"I am very glad that Moldova has undertaken to carry out this ample study with a sample of 10,000 people, which offers the opportunity to disaggregate the data and get a comprehensive picture of the situation of families in Moldova. At the same time, it is important that the results of the study and data can be used later on for the development of demographic policies and the education of population," said Vitalija Gaucaite Wittich, Chief of Population Unit, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
The MoHealth and UNFPA signed a co-financing agreement in August 2018 for the deployment of the "Gender and Generations" Programme in the Republic of Moldova, which will take place over a three-year period (2018-2020).
The "Gender and Generations" study has been conducted in 24 countries so far and represents a global tool for monitoring demographic change and responding to ageing processes, low fertility rates, changes in family structures, intergenerational relationships, and others.

State Champs takes over Orlando
For Cinco de Mayo, most of my friends were piling into apartments with Coronas or going out to the local bars for some good ole fun. As for me, I was getting rowdy with a State Champs crowd in Orlando. The crowd was certainly ready to party so that's what the band gave us. I have seen State Champs several times, but their show never ceases to pump me up and get me going. Every member of the band was excited to be there and of course, we all were too.
Throughout the show, State Champs played a healthy mix of songs from both of their albums, "Around the World and Back" and "The Finer Things", and even played their new single, "Slow Burn". Almost every song had an immense amount of energy within it so the crowd was always jumping along with the beat. The band mellowed out with a couple of slower jams, but I'm a sucker for a solid acoustic song so I enjoyed the quieter moments just as much as the high-energy ones.
The band never seemed to miss a beat, and their hard work definitely shows throughout the set. The flow of songs seemed right, and nothing seemed out of place. Vocally, Derek blew me away per usual, and all the other guys were just as wonderful. Their encore was their single, "Secrets", and I think they made the right choice with it. It left the crowd with their blood pumping and spirits high.
I honestly can't think of any critiques with their set other than the fact they didn't play "If I'm Lucky", but that's just a personal critique. So if you are ever looking for a show to throw you back to life and State Champs are in town, grab a ticket and get ready to party.

General Abdullah al-Bashir, commander of the Free Syrian Army, in an interview with CNN asked for US support to confront ISIS. We had time and again met with US officials warning them of the ISIS threat, he said, adding we had also expressed our readiness to fight them.
ISIS is part of the Assad regime and they are in full cooperation with this regime's members, General al-Bashir added.
