In this video I talk about some basic concepts, which are part of more natural way of living. In short the idea is that it was unlikely that our ancestors had 3 square meals a day and they rather ate and exercised in unpredictable and chaotic way. So, to emulate as close as possible that lifestyle, for which we evolved, we should try to avoid repetition and routine.
Also the primitive human never knew when will come next meal (if it comes at all that day), what is going to be and what physical activity will be required to get it. In the same spirit we should try to surprise more often our bodies with the food we eat and exercises we do.
"In this video I'll be talking about the rigidity of the life styles we'd like to maintain. First my core idea of whatever I do is to avoid the monotony and repetition. In the case of exercising for example I'll have one day one or two hours jogging, another day will be simply a long walk. Next day will be lifting weights in the gym. Another day will be wrestling, kick-boxing and so on. The general idea is to avoid repetition at any cost, because we are not designed and our body waste quite fast if we begin repeating the same physical motion again and again.
Same goes for the food. Despite having few core components, like meat, fruits, vegetables and nuts, what I'm trying to do is to avoid repeating the exact type of food that I'm eating. For example one day it could be meat, another day it could be fish. I recently tried elk meat, which was very tender and with much better taste then the cooked version. The berries that I normally eat can be swapped with grapes, apples, mango, orange, kiwi etc.
Also normally I eat some kind of onion. This could be swapped with garlic. Sometimes I eat row eggs but I try to eat as diverse as possible types of eggs. For example instead of the normal chicken egg I eat quail eggs. Also there are many, many types of nuts which all have different properties and different chemical components. I have hazelnuts, almonds, pecan nuts and so on, and so on.
Avoiding the monotony and trying to make my life style as diverse as possible goes up to the point that once a week for example is OK to completely skip the paleo food and eat just cheeseburgers or other very unhealthy food which essentially can't do any damage and likely will be beneficial if eaten rarely.
Another thing that I'm doing is sometimes maybe once a week or once biweekly I'm having one day when I'm skipping eating at all. This is not at all harmful and after a while we you can get used to it and it could gives you boost of energy the next day.
Another important thing is that the amount of food that we eat to be according to the energy spent. Despite of eating healthy food if we keep overeating we can get very obese and exercise is not going to help us as we can see in the case of sumo wrestlers.
The other site of the spectrum we can see people who eat very healthy but don't exercise at all. They have the kind of the aspect of dead fish. Humans have to maintain a certain level of physical activity a day and certain level of energy consumed in the form of food eaten."

UPSD Delays In-Person Learning Until January
Rising COVID-19 cases throughout the Upper Perkiomen Valley and Montgomery County over the last three weeks have led the Upper Perkiomen School Board to delay the debut of partial in-person learning until the new year. On Monday, the members accepted a recommendation by administrators for an adjusted date to transition to a K-12 Hybrid Instructional Model beginning Jan. 19.
Raeann Hofkin cast the lone vote against the action item during a special meeting held on Zoom. The measure will keep students in full virtual learning until Jan. 19, six weeks longer than initially planned. Students enrolled at the Western Montgomery Career and Technology Center will return to in-person learning on Dec. 7, according to Superintendent Allyn Roche.
"I'm not thrilled about having to make this decision," Vice President Mike Elliot said prior to casting his affirmative vote. "I understand the ramifications. We're in a really tough position."
The Upper Perkiomen Education Association favors the proposal, according to Roche. He said discussions between administrators and representatives of the teachers' union increased last week as cases increased.
The confirmed linked transmission of novel coronavirus cases in the district, a three-week trend of substantial cases in its six Montgomery County municipalities, as well as revised guidance from the county's Department of Health led to the administrative recommendation to delay the shift to in-person learning. Schools would face significant personnel issues if they tried to go hybrid as planned, according to Assistant Superintendent Andrea Farina.
"Our goal is still to get the students back to in-person learning," Roche said following his presentation. "However we wanted to be as safe and prudent as we could."
A slide in the administration's presentation identified transmission rate in Montgomery County as substantial for the third consecutive week as of Nov. 20. The rate had previously been identified as moderate for several weeks dating back to the end of July.
Cases in East Greenville, Red Hill, Upper Hanover, Pennsburg, Green Lane and Pennsburg reached 49 during the week ending Nov. 12. The same municipalities averaged 12 cases during the previous five weeks.
The slide on positivity rates in surrounding counties identified Berks as in the "substantial" category for six weeks running. A case total for Hereford, the lone Berks County municipality in the district, is not available, according to the superintendent.
Administrators are currently dealing with multiple cases at its three buildings where a small number of students are receiving in-person instruction. As of 1 p.m. on Nov. 23, the district has identified 11 active positive student cases and 20 active positive staff cases.
According to Farina, 20 students and 19 teachers are currently quarantined. She said the district has only six available substitutes and that finding the seven others needed to properly staff its schools would be a challenge.
Farina told the members that had the district continued on its path to partial in-person learning, the discovery of positive cases would have likely forced schools to individually close for a period of time prescribed by the state's departments of health and education. "I find that to be particularly challenging," the assistant superintendent said.
In October, the members voted to approve a shift from full virtual to partial in-person learning with an implementation date of Nov. 30. However, increasing numbers of cases and positivity rates led the county health board to delay that plan until Dec. 7.
Keith McCarrick described his vote to approve the delay as the district's best move. He expressed optimism that a timeline has been created to get the students back to some form of in-person learning.
"Things are out of control," McCarrick said. "I support this."

Q: Next.js/Firebase - How to create infinite scroll? I am a little lost on how to create infinite scroll elements in next.js with firebase firestore.
I am trying to use "my api" and use firestore on my api files.
My call to api is like this for now. I have a list called data, I send a request to my api and get the first 9 (limit param) docs.
useEffect(() => {
  console.log("useEffect");
  const getImage = async () => {
    const req = await fetch(`api/firebase?limit=9`, {
      method: "GET",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
    });
    const data = await req.json();
    return data;
  };
  getImage().then((data) => {
    setData(data);
  });
}, []);

And my request handling is like this:
if (req.method === "GET") {
  const qu = req.query;
  const max = qu.limit;
  const q = query(collection(db, "images"), limit(max));
  const querySnapshot = await getDocs(q);
  const data = querySnapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
    return {
      label: doc.data().label,
      url: doc.data().url,
      id: doc.id,
    };
  });
  res.status(200).json(data);
}

I have tried/ looked up to react-infinite-scroll-component and I think I can make it work but I am lost on how to get the next 9 docs with my api from firebase.
On firestore there's startAfter() which takes documentSnapshot not an id but I can work with that by saving the id from the last doc send and calling it with getDoc with that id and start after that, but I don't know how to implement that thought with my api calling. Let's say there are 27 docs on my firestore, I call that first 9 with useEffect, do I need another function to call and update my data? I could try sending the last id as param and update but that gets complicated and I don't know if there's a simple way to this.

A: Reviewing how infinite scroll works, generally you'd have two separate queries:

*

*Query for the first batch (without the startAfter)

*Query for loading more content (exact same query, but with
startAfter())

You can actually review this quick guide for infinite scrolling with Firebase.
Now, with the situation you are having with your API, in the absence of any set order, the document ID serves as the sort order. In this case, you can simply use a where clause to retrieve all documents with an ID greater than or lower than the one you specify.
For example: where(FieldPath.documentId(), ">", id).

A: If anyone else stumble upon such problem here's how i solved it
I added this if statement to my api handler which checks if i sent docID param via call and gets the document with that id, after that i sent that document to startAfter.
if (qu.docID) {
  const id = qu.docID;
  const max = qu.limit;

  const idquery = query(
    collection(db, "images"),
    where("__name__", "==", id)
  );

  const documentSnapshots = await getDocs(idquery);
  const lastVisible =
    documentSnapshots.docs[documentSnapshots.docs.length - 1];

  const next = query(
    collection(db, "images"),
    orderBy("createdAt", "desc"),
    startAfter(lastVisible),
    limit(max)
  );
  const querySnapshot = await getDocs(next);
  const data = querySnapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
    return {
      label: doc.data().label,
      url: doc.data().url,
      id: doc.id,
    };
  });
  res.status(200).json(data);
}

Like Jose German said i created another function for loading more
const getNext = async (docID) => {
console.log("getNext");
const req = await fetch(`api/firebase?limit=9&docID=${docID}`, {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
});

const data = await req.json();
return data;
};

Lasly i used react-infinite-scroll-component's next={} to call my second function and after few tweaks it worked

So on some days I will have a 10 month and 14 month and on other days the 10 month and 1yo.
this time last year I had 2little ones the exact same age, the first few months were awful!! Older one constantly hit, bit and scratched the poor other one. Now they are the best of friends and really miss each other if they are off, have so much fun together!! Think i was just unlucky as she was the same with other wee ones aswell.
I tend to stick to littlies, I currently have Mindees aged 20 months, 2 years and my dd 4 years.
I love it - they are all lovely children, my dd can get a bit bossy but other than that we have a ball! They are great little personalities and I love seeing what mischief they'll get up to next. It can be exhausting, and I can have enough of the nappies and getting around can be tricky at times BUT it really is lovely. Good luck!
It is fun though and as they get older the more they are willing to play with each other and if one is off ill or on holiday they really do miss each other.
I have 10mnth,2 x 22mnth old and 1 x 2 yr old 3 days a week. It's great! Just be organised, allow at least an hour for each mealtime and generally go with the flow. After the 1st couple of weeks you will wonder why you worried!
About 3 months into my cm career I had 3x 2y olds.
for the last 5 years I have always had 2 x babies plus a toddler (or 2 x toddlers and a baby -as the original babies grew and toddlers went to nursery!).

Change Is Possible - Takis Liris quantity
A Quote made famous by Martin Luther King Jr. but one that was also said some years later by a Greek in a treatment centre for an alcohol addiction. He was told at that time to concentrate on his own recovery and not to try and save the world.
That Greek was Takis Liris and although he focused on his own recovery he also never forgot his dream. Over the coming years he was going to do whatever it took to ensure that his dream was fulfilled. With the help of a couple of fellow alcoholics they founded Oasis Addiction Recovery Society, a haven for those new to recovery to find a safe place to meet for coffee, support with no fear of being judged.
It is easy to stay clean and sober in a treatment center, but what happens when you leave that safe environment. Many people in recovery have family support, a job to go back to and find again their purpose in life; but what happens to those that don't have it.
They may have lost their housing, have criminal records, health issues, trust issues, no real family support and no idea how to return to being a contributing member of their community. These are the ones who go through the revolving doors of detox and treatment centres. While there are services available throughout the city none are quite as meaningful as the unique services Oasis provides.
One may ask why does Oasis work. The answer is simple. All the staff employed are themselves in recovery and as such are able to understand fully what the recovering alcoholic/addict is going through. They know what it takes to be successful and no one was more convinced of this than Takis.
From the small haven he created, Oasis has become an organization that not only offers a safe place for those in early recovery, but is recognized by the City of Toronto and Provincial Government as a provider of services that assists those in recovery to once again become capable, contributing members of society.
From its humble beginnings Oasis now offers programs such as Employment Essentials where clients can discover who they are and what their goals are. They can return to school for upgrading, skills training or join the Employment Placement Program where they get assistance in resume building, job seeking and interviewing skills. All the time fully supported by the staff. An ODSP Employment Support Program is offered for those with concurrent disorders (i.e. addiction and mental health).
Relapse prevention and independent 12 step programs are also available.
Takis's dream not only became a reality, but continues to grow and provide essential services and support to those in recovery.
Although he may no longer be with us, his dream will continue on as his courage, determination and spirit has shown all of us involved that:

One of the most popular and financially successful movies of all time, Gone with the Wind is a favorite for many film lovers around the world. Even for people like me who hadn't seen it, the title evokes images of war-torn Atlanta and Rhett Butler saying "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." Famous lines like that one and "tomorrow is another day" have moved into the popular culture and transcended the movie. This type of epic is the perfect choice for this marathon because it forces me to check out a picture nearly everyone has seen. Was I swept up with emotion by this sweeping melodrama? Let's get to the questions to learn the answer to this and other pressing concerns.
Scarlett O'Hara (Vivian Leigh) thinks her life at the Tara plantation in Georgia is tough because of her unrequited love for Ashley (Leslie Howard), an honorable guy who doesn't share the feelings. She has no idea what's in store. The Civil War begins, and the initial optimism for the South turns to horror when the Union starts destroying their homes. Scarlett is forced to flee Tara with her pregnant friend Melanie (Olivia de Havilland), Ashley's wife. She vows to do whatever it takes to survive, and she gets her chance during the horrors of Reconstruction. Along for the ride is the smooth Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), who has a connection with Scarlett but watches as she gets married twice without love. When Rhett and Scarlett finally decide to get together, the results are as torturous as the evils brought by the Carpetbaggers. A happy ending doesn't seem to be in the cards for anyone, especially the volatile couple.
There's a two-fold answer to this question. First of all, Gone with the Wind is nearly four hours long. That's quite a time investment for any movie, especially one that doesn't fall into a must-see genre. This brings me to my second hesitation, which involves my general dislike of melodrama. I don't mind a good romance if the characters are interesting, but watching people suffer a series of tragedies is not my favorite pastime. My interest in the U.S. Civil War did make this film seem more attractive, especially due to its rarely seen Southern perspective on the war. However, sitting down for such an extended period to find out if Scarlett can find true happiness was a tall order. I had seen clips from this movie in the past on television, but it wasn't enough to draw me to a full viewing until this point.
This ambitious film includes remarkable shots that remain striking today, especially the final image of Scarlett in front of Tara. Her powerful speech right before the intermission is another remarkable scene that ends the first act in epic fashion. These moments lose none of their positive impact more than 70 years later. Unfortunately, the same praise cannot be given to the depiction of race relations. The African-American characters are portrayed as happy slaves who care for nothing more than serving their masters. Although Sidney Howard and a team of uncredited writers toned down the racism of the novel, there are still serious issues within the script. Hattie McDaniel won the first Oscar for an African-American as Mammy, and she deserves the acclaim. Her strong performance makes a thinly written character a lot more than a stereotype, but there's only so much she can do to combat the discrimination on display. The script is even nastier to Butterfly McQueen's Prissy, who spends the movie whining for apparent comic relief. McQueen was a supreme talent forced to play this type of role because it was the only option available at the time. I shouldn't be surprised to see racist attitudes in a 1939 release, but it still makes it tough to consider this one of the great films of all time.
Vivian Leigh does an excellent job as Scarlett O'Hara and carries the movie, which is no easy task. She plays a character that's frequently unlikable yet still understandable with each move. The film's point about Scarlett becoming cold due to the destructive power of Sherman's March is obvious, but Leigh never makes the evolution simple. Clark Gable is his typical charming self in the meaty role of Rhett Butler, who can't help but fall for Scarlett despite her interest in Ashley. Speaking of that noble guy, he's a dull character who's a good man, but it's never clear why Scarlett loves him. Howard is okay but falls way short of Gable's charisma, which makes her obsession seem foolish. Plus, he rejects her to marry his cousin Melanie even though he loves her. Ashley's a strange one. Olivia de Havilland does well as Melanie and makes her likable despite the obstacle she presents for Scarlett.
The first half of Gone with the Wind includes expansive shots of the Civil War, particularly the devastating aftermath of the battles. Shots like the one above are made for the big screen but remain powerful when viewed at home. Other moments shoot the characters in silhouette and resemble work by the German expressionists during the early 1920s. This film makes full use of color in a time when black and white was the norm. The problems truly appear during the second half, when the melodrama takes over the story. We learn that Rhett Butler should never open his mouth about any possible tragedy. At two separate points, he makes a crack about a terrible occurrence and then it happens immediately afterwards. The second moment should be horrifying but feels comical because of Butler's wise cracks. The final hour feels interminably long and slows down the pace way too much. The classic ending almost makes it worth the wait, but the series of tragedies feel sudden and become too ridiculous to give them a pass.
In one sense, Gone with the Wild meets expectations and delivers an epic story with memorable scenes. Unfortunately, it's also uneven and isn't able to sustain the pace for the entire running time. I'm glad to have finally caught this beloved movie and mostly enjoyed watching it, but there were stretches that fell short. Part of the issue relates to my resistance to the over-the-top melodrama, but that's not the only concern. The story depicts the Southern people as noble souls tormented by the evil, uncaring Northern army. Reconstruction was likely very difficult, but I doubt that everyone who participated was corrupt. We're seeing history from the perspective of the South, so I understand that this film identifies with the main characters. This approach doesn't kill the movie, but it raises warning bells that only increase when combined with the clunky emotions. Regardless, it deserves a look for any movie fan looking to check out film making on a grand scale.
Glad you caught up with this one, Dan. I agree with almost all of your points- Leigh's amazing, Howard's incredibly miscast, hard-to-watch racism, etc.
The element I'd add is the larger historical scope of the film. Released in 1939, it functions strongly as an allegory to the world situation at the time. Imagine going to see the premiere on the eve of WWII and hearing that memorable first line, "War, war, war- all anyone wants to talk about is war!". The film was a particular success in England, where it played throughout the blitz, and at home, Scarlett's second act struggles were strongly identified with by a people just out of the Great Depression.
I find it particularly interesting the generational disconnect, re: Scarlett. Most people I know dislike her, as she's pretty much a straight-up , but people I've talked to of my grandparents' generation (who lived through the Depression and WWII) feel much more fondly towards her.
Kate, I hadn't really considered how this film played back in 1939, especially in terms of World War II. Looking at the story from that perspective (with the U.S. hesitant to enter the war), it adds a different layer to it. The point about what was needed to survive during the Great Depression is also something I missed.
I'll definitely have to check out that Carol Burnett Show episode in the near future. Thanks!
1939 was a fabulous year for film- perhaps the fodder for a future marathon? To name just a few, GWtW, Wizard of Oz, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka, Wuthering Heights, The Women, The Roaring Twenties... Such completely different films. I'm sure they aren't all reactions to the global instability of the time, but they're certainly interesting when viewed through that prism.
Kate, you're right that 1939 is one of the best years of film, if not the greatest. Stagecoach is a classic, and Wizard of Oz and Mr. Smith are right there too. I've seen the top movies, but it might be interesting to check out a marathon of 1939's second tier.
Good post. I caught up on Gone With the Wind last year, too, and I think I enjoyed it even less than you did. No doubt, Scarlett O'Hara is a great actress, but I didn't like her character at all.
Mette, I think Kate's comment above makes some really good points about what the film was about for audiences in 1939 that I missed. It doesn't make it a perfect movie, but it does shed some light on what they were trying to achieve.
How could any woman not fall for Leslie Howard? :) For Scarlett, it was especially obsessive, because he was the only man she couldn't have. Great write up Dan!
You described the Scarlett character as often unlikeable. I'd describe her as completely unlikeable. Because of this character it lessened the impact of the film for me. Even though I saw this several years ago, I have never had the desire to watch it again.
I would second the mention of Went with the Wind. It was very funny.
Chip, I can see what you mean. I still think that part of her becoming such a tough character is the situation with the war. She wasn't great to begin with, but the war and difficulties of Reconstruction made her even harder.
A) how she's supposed to be unlikeable at first. Leigh unfortunately isn't a strong enough actress to convey her evolution very well, so by the time we reach act two, she's still being a brat when she should be more a more accomplished manipulator.
B) Victor Fleming wasn't the film's original director; that was George Cukor. Cukor was always known more for his 'women's pictures' (like My Fair Lady or Dinner at Eight), and Fleming for being his strapping manly work (like Red Dust). The actresses were displeased at the switch from Cukor, and went back to him for help on building their characters which apparently Fleming didn't give a damn about.
The movie's remembered for a lot of reasons, not just that it's a grand epic, but that it is, adjusted for inflation, the most popular movie of all time. Like a lot of things, popularity doesn't necessarily configure directly with quality, and while there is greatness in Gone With the Wind, it's definitely a product of its time.
Interesting thoughts, Danny. Somehow I missed your comment, so I'm responding way late. I did read about the director switch, and that likely contributes to some of the disparity among certain sections of the movie. Scarlett seems like a grand heroine at times and gets whiny at other moments. Like you say, part of that is due to Leigh's limitations as an actress. Thanks!
You've hit on every one of my issues with this movie, most notably the ridiculous representation of antebellum South. I can't deny its greatness... but I tend to refer to Gone with the Wind as the best movie I'll ever loathe.
I like that phrase, John. It's an epic movie that works on a grand scale but falls apart in a lot of simpler ways.
The book was wayyy better than the movie.
Haven't read the book, so I can't argue either way. There's a good chance you're right, though.

Krystina Endara Discusses Shipkevich PLLC's Flexibility & Family First Initiative
By: Shipkevich PLLC
We sat down with Partner Krystina Endara to discuss Shipkevich PLLC's latest initiative entitled "Flexibility & Family First."
Learn More about the FFFI
What is the Flexibility and Family First Initiative (FFFI)?
The FFFI was born one night when Felix and I were having a meeting on Zoom at 9:30 p.m. at night and, in that very moment, realized we were genuinely happy with our work and home lives and had achieved our own definitions of a balance between the two. That day, like every working day, we both had the opportunity to spend a few hours with our respective spouses, cook dinner for our kids, tuck them into bed, and get an hour work out in somewhere in between. Because of the flexible work model of our firm, we were able to do everything we wanted to do in the day, while also putting in a full and productive work-day.
This initiative is to bring awareness toward the benefits of an atypical working model for those who desire it, and for those who flourish in it. We want to normalize remote work and flexible hours and bring those benefits to other working professionals. For decades employers have been tying their employees to a desk in an office for pre-determined hours, without any regard for whether that model, or those hours, suit the employee. We believe in having a conversation with each and every employee to see what working arrangement suits them the best, be it a 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule or a 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. schedule, be it remote or not. It's not about making this the business model, but about making this an option for those of us who desire it. It's about tailoring the way we work to each individual person to improve work efficiency, but also the life of employee.
At Shipkevich PLLC we love our jobs, but we also love our families and our health. Felix and I realized that night on Zoom that we can have it all, with just a little flexibility.
Why is this initiative important to the legal industry?
This initiative is especially important to this industry. The legal industry in 2021 feels very antiquated. There has been so much resistance from this industry to adapt to the movement that we are seeing right now by working professionals toward a better quality of life. The Covid-19 Pandemic has really been the driving force for progress in the legal industry in this respect. We have seen so many firms move toward a remote model, albeit the fact that just a very limited number of these firms have also opened the door to the discussion of a flexible hour work model. However, even just with the steps firms have taken toward remote work, with the Pandemic nearing a foreseeable end, we are seeing a lot of these law firms spring back to their pre-pandemic rigid work models, which I think a lot of attorneys are disappointed about.
Where does the current legal industry fail?
The current legal model fails in many ways. Outdated work models and toxic work environments have become synonymous with our industry. It is a cut-throat industry that is not kind to employees in general. This industry glorifies the "burn out", and rewards people for neglecting their health and families, while judging those who are not willing to do so to further their careers. By continuing to foster these working environments, we are creating a barrier for everyone, but especially parents, to excel in their careers. You should be able to excel in your career but also enjoy a rewarding home life – and not be judged for it. In addition, for too long the legal industry has been turning their cheek to toxic work environments. It can be a really suffocating work environment. We need to open the floor for this conversation and stop ignoring this reality.
Why would an attorney want to join this firm?
I think the answer to this question is why wouldn't an attorney want to join this firm? We do complex and rewarding work for great clients, but also find the time to enjoy our home lives each and every day, not just on the weekends.
Can we redefine the work life balance for attorneys?
Yes. However, we can't do that without first having a conversation with each employee about what that means for them. Every attorney's idea of a work life balance is different. We are individuals with different needs, desires and responsibilities. In order to help each attorney achieve their definition of work life balance, we need to be willing to move beyond the 9 to 5 and away from the typical physical work office model.

If you have gardens around your house, it's time to become aware of free resources you have been throwing away and opt to start composting as a way to increase your sustainability—and the health of your plants.
Creating your own compost reduces waste that goes into local landfills—and the result is "black gold". Spreading it on your gardens will foster a better environment for plants while improving the long term health of the soil environment.
Naturally occurring biological processes driven by bacteria and fungi break down unwanted kitchen and yard waste, turning it into an organic material that is rich in nutrients and helpful soil bacteria that bolsters healthy roots.
Home composting can seem like a daunting task initially, but with a few steps outlined here it's easy to begin a lifelong environmentally—beneficial habit.
To begin composting it's important to understand the fundamentals, and why materials need to be balanced in a proper ratio for the magical decomposition to occur.
In the simplest terms, most kitchen and yard/garden waste is classified as being either 'brown', which is carbon-based, or 'green', nitrogen-based. The 'black gold' results when the two types of materials are mixed in the proper balance. A simple rule of thumb is to make sure the compost pile has approximately 2/3 "brown" materials—like dead leaves and sticks— and 1/3 "green" materials—like rotting vegetables, banana peels, and coffee grounds.
Carbon-based materials give compost its light, fluffy body and typically consists of items that are more wood-based, or fibrous. Fireplace ashes, sawdust, or pine needles are also considered "brown" and provide food for the bacteria and microorganisms.
Nitrogen or protein-rich material (manures, food scraps, green leaves) provides the raw materials (amino acids and proteins) needed for the enzymatic reactions that are occurring. These items are considered "green" materials.
Buy an attractive compost bucket with a handle for your kitchen, to collect the egg shells, vegetable waste and coffee grounds—it makes the whole process more fun.
Now on to building a pile… The simplest way to compost is to create a pile or heap in the yard, tending to it as necessary. Situate it in a dry, shady spot, if possible.
Start by clearing a space in the yard or garden, removing grass and other plants to expose the bare soil. This allows earthworms and microorganisms to come up out of the soil into the pile, encouraging a speedier decomposition process. One method is to dig a big hole there. You can use the dirt exhumed for covering the pile, which keeps the bees or other critters away.
Another method is to build up a layer of straw or twigs as a base. A few inches of materials helps aerate the pile and provide good drainage.
Once you've created a base or hole, add your layers of waste, alternating between brown and green materials. Incorporate a nitrogen source such as manure or fresh grass clippings to activate the decomposition process, especially if you don't have many worms. Some gardeners will even add a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer to jumpstart the composting.
Turning the compost pile every few weeks with a shovel or pitchfork will speed the breakdown of materials by providing oxygen and fresh "food" to the bacteria breaking down the waste under the surface.
As a natural process, decomposition has the ability to fluctuate its speed based upon the conditions and materials in a compost pile. To facilitate quicker breakdown, heed the following tips and tricks.
It's best to cut up larger produce (like a potato or grapefruit) before adding them because smaller pieces will break down quicker.
Keep the pile moist without letting it get soggy. In areas of high rainfall cover the top of the pile with plastic sheeting or plywood. It is recommended the moisture of the materials within the pile be akin to a slightly dampened sponge.
Add nitrogen fertilizer if the amount of brown materials is too high, keeping the carbon to nitrogen ratio at approximately ⅔ carbon and ⅓ nitrogen.
When you add food waste from your kitchen, cover it with leaves, straw, dirt, or grass clippings, to keep rodents and bees away.
Don't add diseased plants or weeds! Dispose of them in a refuse bin to avoid contaminating the pile.
Avoid adding brambles, large branches, pet waste or used litter, meat or bones, dairy products, fats or oils, pressure treated wood, and black walnut leaves or twigs.
Soon, all this organic material will begin to look like really dark soil with a deep, earthy smell. The pile will always shrink down in size, as the composting progresses, and none of the food scraps or sticks will be recognizable.
Finally, it's time to start incorporating the compost into the garden and reaping all the benefits!

It was the first day in La Carpio. Some groups read to the kids in the daycare; some groups painted a mural that said "Buscar Las Estrellas," another group made bunk beds for the children. After the bunk beds were made we passed out bread to the families. Another group made a mural in a nursery "Siga sus suenos" or "follow your dreams." We went back to the daycare and played songs and did puzzles with the kids.

#39 Miami Preview 2018-19
July 25, 2018 Ky McKeon
- Ky McKeon
Key Returners: Chris Lykes, Dewan Huell, Anthony Lawrence, Dejan Vasiljevic
Key Losses: Lonnie Walker, Ja'Quan Newton, Bruce Brown
Key Newcomers: Zach Johnson (FGCU), Deng Gak (Redshirt), Miles Wilson (Mt. St. Mary's), Anthony Mack (Wyoming... maybe)
Editor's Note (8/21): Anthony Mack has been granted a medical waiver and will be immediately eligible.
Since coming to Miami from George Mason in 2011-12, Jim Larranaga has enjoyed a successful coaching stint, leading the Canes to 20+ wins in six of seven seasons. Larranaga appears to have finally brought stability to the Miami basketball program, making the last three NCAA Tournaments and bringing in a top 15 recruiting class the past two seasons. 2018-19 will be an interesting year for the Canes as they lose three pillars of last year's squad in Lonnie Walker, Bruce Brown, and Ja'Quan Newton while not introducing any impact freshmen. In lieu of the lack of freshmen, Miami brings in two influential transfers and takes the redshirt off a former top 100 recruit. Those two sets of assets combined with a solid 4-man returning core should allow Miami to crash a school-record 4th straight Big Dance.
Miami's identity on offense last season can be summed up in one basketball phrase: "pick-n-roll". The Canes ranked 16th in the country in percentage of pick-n-roll ran last year, a function of the wealth of individual playmakers at Larranaga's disposal. With Walker, Brown, and Newton's playmaking ability, the Canes framed their offensive attack within a 4-out, 1-in look, with returning guard/forward Anthony Lawrence II serving as an undersized, floor-spacing 4-man.
With the trio of talent Miami loses, the rate at which the Canes run the PnR may decline slightly, but they still have the personnel to be successful in this primary system. Chris Lykes, a 5'7" lightning bug, will take over full-time responsibility at point guard. Lykes led the Canes in usage last season (i.e. when he played, he ended the most possessions on the floor for the Canes via a shot or turnover). The diminutive guard was prone to inconsistency and was certainly a bit erratic at times, but he proved he had the ability to create his own shot and be a pest on the other end to would-be ball handlers. With one season under his belt, expect Lykes to become a more consistent source of production.
Replacing Walker / Brown / Newton is no easy task, but Larranaga will turn to Florida Gulf Coast grad transfer Zach Johnson to try. Johnson brings a complete package with him to Coral Gables; he can play either guard spot, is athletic enough to blow-by defenders and rise-up in the paint, and he's a money shooter from all over the court (.508 / .409 / .786). The jump to the ACC from the Atlantic Sun is substantial, but Johnson proved he could hang with power competition, dropping 23 points against Oklahoma State and 19 points against Wichita State a year ago. Johnson is a dramatic outside shooting upgrade over the trio of departed guards and, together with Dejan Vasiljevic and Lawrence, makes Miami potentially one of the best shooting teams in the country.
While the guards may garner plenty of attention and attempt the most shots, junior big man Dewan Huell is the guy NBA teams will be watching this season. Huell was almost criminally under-utilized last season considering how efficient he was when given the opportunity. He has the rare combination of size and agility to be a monster in the ACC this year and a worthy NBA draft pick next summer. Expect Huell to break out in a BIG way this season; he is a fantastic offensive rebounder and can score in the post, in the mid-range, or off the bounce. He also serves as the perfect roll man in Miami's PnR-heavy system, scoring 1.143ppp in PnR situations last year (70th percentile in the country):
Aside from Johnson, Miami will look to get production from Mount St. Mary's transfer Miles Wilson and redshirt freshman Deng Gak. Wilson is another versatile player that can bring the ball up, shoot from deep (36% as a freshman), and drive the lane. He played multiple positions for MSM in 2016-17 and, like Johnson, proved he could go toe-to-toe with elite competition, scoring 22 points against Villanova in the NCAA Tournament. Gak, a raw 7-footer with a skinny frame, was a top-100 recruit in the class of 2017. While Gak may not make an enormous impact in his inaugural year, he's a skilled big man with good shooting touch and passing chops that could make him a force down the road. Wyoming transfer Anthony Mack is currently applying for a medical waiver in order to suit up for the Canes this season and not serve a year on the pine. If he does play, he'll add needed to size to the backcourt.
Miami has been a top 50 defensive team under Larranaga the last three seasons thanks to its superior length and athleticism across nearly every position. This end is likely where the absence of Walker / Brown / Newton will be felt the most. Johnson racked up plenty of steals during his career at FGCU, but he's not nearly as long as Walker, and Vasiljevic is not known for his defense. Additionally, Lykes's size could be problematic against bigger ACC guards. Further, last season Miami was considerably weak defending the interior. Huell and Lawrence each racked up their fair share of blocks, but Lawrence was cooked regularly in the post (he's only 6'7") and the Canes were only so-so on the defensive glass. Senior Ebuka Izundu will be counted on to bolster the defensive side of the interior along with Gak.
The Canes will still boast a plethora of weapons on the offensive end this season, but defense could be a weak point. Thankfully for Miami, Larranaga is known as a strong defensive coach and should be able to game plan around his personnel's weaknesses. Once again, the ACC promises to be a bloodbath chock full of NCAA Tourney worthy teams. Expect the Canes to be right in the middle of the pack this season and finish similarly to how they performed in 2017-18.

These are the initial sketches for a conceptual product during my studies at OSU. Before you select a focus in industrial design, you must first experience each of the specific disciplines.
This represents my foray into product design. There is also interior space design and visual communications. I ended up in the latter, although it seems that the lines are beginning to blur when it comes to qualifications for any of the majors.
Anyway, the goal of this particular project was to make a handheld remote control for a single chess piece. Of course, the chessboard is human scale and I suppose everyone has to agree in order to choose who will move, but logistics aside | there is a goal here. Don't ask me what that would be.

Regardless of what season it is during the year, the biggest and most controllable energy cost is related to the heating and cooling of a property. By setting in place a few basic modes of environmental control in eco-friendly apartments, you can keep your energy related expenses to a minimum.
One of the biggest factors involves adjusting the thermostat to cooler temperatures during winter months, and warmer levels during the summer. Adjusting the thermostat should not be limited to the leasing office, but should include all common areas, apartment units where possible, pools and hot tubs. Setting those thermostats back when areas are not in use – like when the offices are closed – makes a difference. So does just one or two degrees during the day.
Always check the location for leaks; doors and windows are a huge source of energy loss. Placing weather stripping along doors, and replacing, or refreshing, the seals around windows will often make a dramatic impact on environmental control. Be diligent in the use of window shades, curtains, or other window treatments; make it a habit during the day to let in the sun in winter, and shut it out when it's hot outside. On a winter's night, close the shades to minimize air leakage from the windows.
You should always remember to replace the filters on a regular basis; not only will it help the quality of the air, but it will improve the effectiveness of the heating and cooling units.


The March of Return Campaign is designed to reach its pinnacle on May 14, 2018 – the date which reportedly the US Embassy will formally be moved to Jerusalem, coinciding with the date the State of Israel was established in 1948.
The campaign is steered by a framework called The National Authority of the March of Return, comprised of the major Palestinian political entities representing the broad Palestinian political spectrum – ranging from the Islamic Camp – Hamas and IJIP – Islamic Jihad in Palestine, to Fatah, to the Leftist, Secular forces such as the PFLP – the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and, PPP – the Palestinian Peoples' Party.
Though the Palestinian spokesperson of The National Authority of the March of Return announced that the protests will be peaceful, and that Palestinians will keep a distance of 700 yards from the Israeli – Gaza border, Israel expresses concern with the possibility that Palestinians will try to storm the border fence and infiltrate Israeli territory. Israel therefore warned that any attempt to cross the fence or to attack Israeli soldiers located on the Israeli side of the fence will meet with a tough Israeli response.
Indeed, since March 30th – to date, reportedly 29 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli Defense Forces apparently during attempts to storm the Israel-Gaza Border fence, and – at least on one documented incident, shooting at Israeli soldiers located on the Israeli side of the border. Most of the Palestinians killed have been identified by Palestinian sources as Hamas, IJIP, Fatah, and PFLP militants.
The two most central and major Palestinian factors involved in the campaign – Hamas and Fatah – in spite of recent attempts at reconciliation, are on a collision track. The Islamist factors and the left wing, secular Palestinian groups' agendas and ideologies are substantially different from one another – and to large extent, also conflicting. One thus may wonder what bring those factors to join hands in the framework of The National Authority of the March of Return?
On one level, the Campaign of Return represents two cross-sectarian Palestinian consensual narratives: "The Right of Return" and "Jerusalem" (Al-Quds).
The narrative of "The Right of Return" addresses the issue of Palestinian refugees. According to official statistics provided by the UN Relief and Welfare Agency (UNRWA) – the international body responsible for the daily needs of Palestinian refugees based in Arab states, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip – the original number of Palestinian refugees as an outcome of the Israeli-Arab 1948 War was about 700,00 people. Palestinians argue that the current number of Palestinian refugees and their descendants is around 4,000,000. And they demand to reclaim the properties and homes they abandoned during the war. Those assets were in areas, which – after the war – became a part of the State of Israel, and most of the properties – shops, homes, lots etc. do not exist anymore.
The Palestinian narrative of "Al-Quds" (The Sacred) – the name of Jerusalem in Arabic – has two main versions. In the more pragmatic narrative – sovereignty over Jerusalem should be split. East Jerusalem (the areas that are today part of Jerusalem under Israeli rule which, prior to the 1967 Israeli-Arab war, were either under Jordanian rule or defined as "no man's land"), the Old City of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, as well as the Western Wall – will be "Al-Quds," the Capitol of the Palestinian State. According to that plan, neighborhoods built by the Israeli government in East Jerusalem which are predominately populated by Jews should be evacuated. In its dogmatic version – represented by Hamas or IJIP, the State of Israel should be eradicated. Thus, obviously Jerusalem cannot and will not be split. It will only be the capital of the Palestinian State.
US President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (December 2017) generated an inevitable Palestinian counter-reaction, manifested on the ground by continuing daily protests by Palestinians near the Israel-Gaza border, as well as the use of strong rhetoric expressing Palestinian anger, frustration, and discontent with the current US administration which is clearly not friendly to the Palestinian cause. President Trump's decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018 further fueled the Palestinian's rage – and they have escalated their protests accordingly.
Hence, gathering around those two major narratives – The Right of Return and Jerusalem, The National Authority of the March of Return presents a Palestinian front of unity and consensus, and also provides an organizational structure that manages and steers the campaign.
However, on a deeper level, The National Authority of the March of Return should be viewed in the context of inner Palestinian politics – and particularity in the context of the power struggle between the two major Palestinian factors – Hamas and The Palestinian Authority. Furthermore, the campaign simultaneously presents both Hamas and the PA with a serious challenge – as well as an opportunity for each entity to gain political dividends.
What are the challenge and opportunities the campaign presents and why?
In order to analyze the challenges and opportunities, we need to first examine the three major factors which currently guide the domestic policy of both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.
Fatah – Haraka Tahrir Filastin is the backwards acronym for – "The Movement for the Liberation of Palestine." Fatah is also a term which is associated with the rapid expansion of early Islam through successful military raids.
Fatah is the largest and most powerful party in the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) which rules over parts of the West Bank.
Al-Muqawama Al-Madaniyah – "The Civil Resistance" – i.e. forcing Israel to comply with Palestinian demands through the use of political and diplomatic measures – which, according to radical factors within Fatah – will eventually result in the elimination of Israel.
The application of a Parliamentary political structure inspired by civil society and Western affiliated codes as the source for government and legislation, and as the moral code of everyday life of the Palestinians both as a society as well as individuals.
According to Fatah, adopting the Islamic religious law – the Shariah as the guiding code for an individual's everyday life is a personal choice and decision.
Hamas – "Harakat Al-Muqawama Al Islamiyah" "The Islamic Resistance Movement," is a Sunni Political Islamic Palestinian Arab movement whose ultimate vision is the creation of an Islamic global entity – The Caliphate. Therefore – ideologically, Hamas completely rejects the concept of statehood and an independent nation state. Thus – ironically, Hamas' ultimate vision unequivocally objects to the creation of an independent Palestinian state which is based on a national identity.
Al-Muqawama Al-Musallaha – "The Armed Resistance" – i.e. militarily fighting Israel until it will be eliminated.
The application of Shari'ah, the Islamic religious law – as the source of government and legislation, and as the moral code of everyday life of the Palestinians both as a society as well as individuals.
According to Hamas, adopting the Islamic religious law as the guiding code for an individual's everyday life is Allah's will – and abiding by the Shariah, is therefore mandatory – not meant to be questioned, nor meant to be up to an individual's choice.
In June 2007, Hamas' military force, 'Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades conducted a military coup in the Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of PA people and forcefully terminating the rule of the PA in Gaza.
Since then Hamas controls the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian President Mahmoud 'Abbas argues that Hamas' rule and path is a dead-end street, resulting in more misery for the Palestinians, and particularly for the people of Gaza who live under Hamas' rule.
Hamas' continuing and compounding crises, which have resulted in increasing challenges for the people in the Gaza Strip – support 'Abbas' argument.
The PA and Hamas both face substantial challenges.
The PA faces an unfriendly US administration; reluctant Arab support; and is heading towards a possible inner-political (perhaps even violent) power struggle following the expected end of the Presidential term of the current Palestinian President, Mahmoud 'Abbas.
Hamas struggles financially; faces growing discontent among the people of the Gaza Strip – fueled by major economic and social stresses; in addition – Hamas' military and terror tactics have been largely thwarted by Israel; it is defined as a terror group by Western powers; and is harshly criticized by major Arab players for its responsibility for Gaza's bleak reality as well as for its relationship with Iran.
Hamas and the PA are trapped in a crumbling reconciliation agreement brokered by Egypt (October 2017). Though some aspects of the reconciliation agreement were fulfilled on the ground – major controversial issues such as: Hamas' demand to keep its independent military entity, and 'Abbas' refusal to pay the salaries of Hamas' 40,000 officials in the Gaza Strip, seriously questions the future prospects of the agreement. (For more on this issue, please read my article Tasting the Bitter Pill of Reality: Hamas' New Political Pact, June 2017).
A most recent incident further cracks the fragile (some say dying) reconciliation. On March 13, 2018 an IED explosion targeted a convoy of the Palestinian Prime Minister, Rami al-Hamdallah and the Head of the PA Intelligence Services, General Majid Faraj during their visit to the Gaza Strip. The two survived the attack, but some of their aides and body guards were injured. Though some Palestinian sources attribute the attack to Salafi-Jihadi groups in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian President Mahmoud 'Abbas officially holds Hamas accountable for the attack and announced that he intends to impose a set of sanctions on the Gaza Strip. Reportedly, to date he has not yet implemented the sanctions. Hamas, on its side, argues that the PA is the one behind the attack. Thus, the Hamas- PA reconciliation is currently at rock bottom.
However, neither Hamas nor the PA want to be the one viewed by the Palestinians and the Arab world – and particularly Egypt who brokered the reconciliation – as responsible for the failure of that reconciliation.
The domestic policy – primarily guided by the Ideological and Political Power Struggle between the PA and Hamas; the inner Challenges of the PA and Hamas; and the Palestinian Reconciliation Status, coupled with the challenges each of these factors presents to the PA and Hamas – impact their calculations and decisions regarding the character and path of the March of Return Campaign. They must each walk a very fine line and navigate the March of Return campaign very cautiously.
The answer is that as the March of Return lingers on, it is possible that the number of Palestinian fatalities will increase, and accordingly – the likelihood for a massive Israeli-Palestinian collision.
One aspect of their dilemma has to do with the current dire position both are in, given the challenges they both face as outlined above.
Given the current challenges both entities face, and with no solutions in sight, a massive Israeli–Palestinian collision is almost the last card both Hamas and the PA left to play in order to solidify their rule. Therefore, from Hamas and the PA's point of view – threatening to unleash a massive Israeli-Palestinian collision may force the US, the EU, and other regional players – such as Egypt to positively respond to both Hamas and the PA's most pressing needs. For example, Hamas wants Egypt to permanently open the Rafah crossing and the PA would like funding to resume from the US administration. Relief from outside entities would enable both Hamas and the PA the ability to address some of their domestic challenges and therefore, relieve some of the domestic pressures on their administrations.
On the other hand, a massive Israeli – Palestinian collision might boost the very challenges and reasons for the dire situation the two are currently experiencing. For Hamas, another military round with Israel may be one round too many – as the Gaza Strip has not recovered yet from the 2014 war. For the PA, a military collision with Israel might bring down the PA – bringing an end to its rule.
Hamas' Political Bureau member, Salah Bardawill, openly urged the US to open a dialogue with Hamas. Chief of Hamas' Political Bureau, Isma'il Haniyeh, urged the Secretary General of the Arab League Ahmad Aboul Gheit, to charge Israel with war crimes at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Both appeals, in my analysis, signal Hamas' desire – for now – to avoid a massive collision with Israel.
As for the PA, one should note the fact that Fatah, the major factor within the PA – has scheduled the assembly of the Palestinian National Council for April 30th during which a new leadership of the movement will be chosen. It is reasonable to assume that Fatah would like to ensure an inner-transition of power that is as smooth as possible. Holding the assembly amid a military confrontation with Israel would contradict that interest. In my analysis, this is a signal that Fatah wishes to avoid a collision with Israel.
The second reason for the dilemma regarding entering into a military confrontation with Israel is that The March of Return campaign is also a stage for the zero-sum game between Hamas and the PA. Each side views the other side's achievement as a loss for themselves – and both Hamas and Fatah are determined to prevent the other from gaining any achievement. Therefore, based on that perspective – a massive Israeli–Palestinian collision is less preferable for the two. Why?
From Hamas' perspective, if the Gaza Strip becomes the stage for a massive collision with Israel, that will play into the hands of the PA.
That is because it will increase the PA's criticism of Hamas, give the PA the opportunity to emphasize its argument that "armed resistance" is leading the Palestinians down a dead-end street, and reinforce that the PA holds Hamas accountable for the dire situation in the Gaza Strip.
Moreover, a military collision with Israel will exhaust Hamas and further weaker its dire situation to the point that Hamas will have to accept the return of the PA to the Gaza Strip as the dominant force.
That could – for example, lead to a situation in which Hamas, out of severe weakness, will have to accept the PA's demand that Hamas disarm itself (which Hamas is refusing to accept).
From the Palestinian Authority's perspective, if the West Bank becomes the stage for a massive Israeli-Palestinian collision, it will play to the hands of Hamas.
That is because it will fuel Hamas' criticism of the PA, give Hamas the opportunity to argue that the PA's path of "non-violent resistance" damages the Palestinian cause, and leads the Palestinian nowhere.
Moreover, Hamas' operational infrastructure in the West Bank – which is currently strictly monitored and oppressed by the PA – might seize the moment to try and duplicate the takeover model they applied in the Gaza Strip when they ousted the PA government and took over the rule of Gaza in the bloody coup of June 2007.
Hence, to date, both sides have apparently determined, that between deciding to pursue a path towards a massive collision with Israel, or to avoid such a collision – the latter option better serves their interests.
Yet, both Hamas and the PA must calculate and manage the March of Return campaign very carefully – as it has the potential to rapidly escalate and spin out of control in a very short process.
The Right of Return campaign is also a stage for the different – and to large extent conflicting – interests of Egypt, Turkey, Qatar and Iran.
Egypt plays a constructive, stabilizing role. Turkey and Iran play a destabilizing role. Qatar's role is yet to be determined.
What dictates these factors position vis-a-vis the March of Return campaign?
Stability in the Gaza Strip is Egypt's interest. An Israeli-Palestinian massive collision might fuel extremist Islamic and Muslim Brotherhood factors in Egypt and boost unrest among Egyptians, already fueled by the country's economic challenges. Egypt's interest, therefore, is that the Palestinian campaign will remain confined and restrained. That explains the fact that Egypt maintains constant open communication channels with both Hamas as well as the PA towards a goal of preventing a further escalation on the ground.
Turkey's position vis-a-vis the Palestinian campaign is dictated to a large extent by its growing rivalry with Egypt. Turkey sponsors and supports the Muslim Brotherhood which is persecuted by the current Egyptian government of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. In that context, Turkey recently hosted the Celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Muslim Brotherhood and one of the keynote speakers was Khaled Mashal, the former Chief of Hamas' Political Bureau. Turkey and Egypt are also at odds regarding the extraction of gas from the Mediterranean Sea. In that regard, Turkey recently announced that it does not recognize the Egypt–Cyprus territorial water agreement signed in 2013 that allows exploration for gas in the area. From Turkey's perspective, an escalation of the situation in the Gaza Strip has a couple of benefits – it would jeopardize Egypt's goal of stability and it would enable Turkey to take the lead as the defender of the Gaza Strip and of the Palestinian campaign – thus scoring points among Arab public opinion at the expense of Egypt. Indeed, following the events on the Gaza-Israel borders on March 30th, Turkish President Erdogan rushed to accuse Israel of war crimes. One could expect more of the same to come from Turkey.
Qatar sponsors and supports the Muslim Brotherhood and is a major sponsor of Hamas. To date, Qatar's investment in residential projects, infrastructure and public facilities projects in the Gaza Strip is estimated at half a billion dollars. Qatar's support for the Muslim Brotherhood has been a source of escalating tensions between Qatar and Egypt since Al-Sisi came to power. The Qatari owned Al-Jazeera news network's unfriendly coverage of the Egyptian president and of the Egyptian government, have further deepened the tensions. The tension turned into an open collision when Egypt joined the blockade and the sanctions imposed on Qatar by the GCC in June 2017. Al-Jazeera is known to not only be a news conveyor, but also as news creator – often fueling demonstrations and inciting discontent and violence. Al Jazeera's behavior in that regard is not confined to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Arab states such as Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia more than once took tough measures to limit Al-Jazeera's activity – accusing the network of inciting and promoting instability. As expected, Al-Jazeera provides wide coverage of the March of Return Campaign, focusing on the demonstrations in proximity to the Gaza-Israel border. Yet, one should note that to date the network's coverage of the March of Return is relatively mostly confined to reporting – and less making, the news. This may signal Qatar's interest to refrain – as of now – from fanning the flames. That position may stem from the fact that Qatar is seeking the help of the United States to mediate a solution to end the GCC's blockade. In fact, the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani , is scheduled to meet with US President Trump on April 10, 2018. Fueling the flames of the Palestinian campaign will not be viewed positively by the US, and Qatar does not want to risk US mediation to end the blockade and Qatar's isolation.
Of the four regional players mentioned, Iran has a clear interest in a massive Israeli-Palestinian collision. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, when the current Mulah Regime came to power, Iran has methodically, deliberately, strategically and sophisticated positioned itself as the spearhead of the "Axis of Resistance" (Al-Muqawamah) under the slogan of "fighting Israel to liberate Palestine." That position has been very useful in the service of Iran's hegemonic aspirations. (On the issue of Al-Muqawamah I have published many articles. Read for example my article Muqawama, Money, Missiles ~ July 2014).
As Iran's expansionist vision seems to gain momentum over the past few years, the most senior leaders of the Mullahs regime in Iran brag that Iran controls four Arab Capitols – Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and San'aa. Therefore, today Arabs – as well as the US administration – view Iran under the Mullah regime as the biggest source of threat and instability.
First, Iran will argue that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – not Iran – is the source of instability in the region. Germany, the UK and France, who resent the tough US line towards Iran and object to abolishing the JCPOA, will be a receptive audience to Iran's argument – thus it may improve Iran's negotiation position at that time.
Second, a massive Israeli-Palestinian collision will "validate" Iran's argument that its aggressive regional expansion policy is required in the service of the vision of "liberating Palestine." That Iranian calculation is valid to a certain extent – as one can expect that argument may win Iran some PR points in the Arab and Sunni Muslim world. However, it is unlikely to reverse the current rising tide of growing animosity and increasing resentment in the Arab and Sunni Muslim world towards Iran.
To date, it seems the dominant tendency of both Hamas and the PA in The March of the Return Campaign is to avoid the scenario of a massive collision with Israel. That tendency stems not only from the practical calculations of the two central Palestinian political entities – Hamas and the PA. In my evaluation, it also reflects a developing inner-Palestinian recognition that the path of non-violent resistance is likely to better serve the Palestinian cause.
For Hamas, who embrace and praise the concept of "armed resistance" – it is bitter pill to swallow. However, the fact that the March of Return Campaign reflects a broad Palestinian political spectrum enables Hamas to sweeten the bitter medicine. As Hamas could argue that they are tuned to the pluralistic Palestinian fabric, and are acting as a responsible factor who does not sacrifice the Palestinian national interests on the altar of its ideology.
The campaign also presents Israel with a serious challenge. Israel draws red lines and emphasizes that it will not hesitate to risk a massive collision if those lines are to be crossed. However, Israel's interest is to avoid such a development. Therefore, Israel needs to calculate its actions and reactions cautiously as well.
To date, though reportedly 29 Palestinians have been killed since the launching of the campaign on March 30th, the situation seems to be under control on both sides.
Of all the relevant regional players, the most substantial one vis-a-vis the course and outcomes of the Palestinian campaign is Egypt who already plays a significant role in easing the tense situation through operating channels of communication with all sides.
The March of Return Campaign has the potential to significantly deteriorate. The combination of an accumulating death toll on the Palestinian side, together with Palestinian frustration and the dire situation in the Gaza Strip – as well as the lack of a mediation process could result in a short and rapid escalation which could lead to a massive Israeli-Palestinian collision.
However, it is likely that in the foreseeable future, the Palestinian March of Return Campaign will be confined to a silently mutually agreed upon set of Israeli-Palestinian ground rules aimed to prevent a further deterioration.
Simultaneously, it is likely that the coming weeks will witness an intensive exposed diplomacy track in addition to back-channel diplomatic activity involving Israel and the Palestinians, as well as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the US.
The diplomatic activity will likely strive to revive the momentum of the currently crumbling Palestinian Reconciliation.
The possible outcome of that process could be in the shape of arrangements in the Gaza Strip that will enable both Hamas as well as the Palestinian Authority to mark achievements, yet at the same time, force the two to compromise their positions regarding two major controversial issues – Hamas' military capacities and the salaries of Hamas' 40,000 officials. It is beyond my ability, at this point, to foresee what may be the exact characteristic of arrangements – should they be achieved – regarding those issues.

Several clinical trials conducted, in part, at Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute, have lead to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of an implantable device to repair mitral valve prolapse, or a heart valve that doesn't close all the way. When the valve fails to close, blood flows backward in the heart – a condition known as mitral valve regurgitation.
Interventional cardiologists, like the Institute's Ramon Quesada, M.D., implant the device, MitraClip (manufactured by Abbott Laboratories), into patients by making a puncture in the skin of the groin and threading a catheter with the clip up to the heart valve through an artery in the leg. The clip grasps the two leaflets that make up the valve and helps them close.
During the trial, Dr. Quesada implanted nearly 50 of these devices in patients with good outcomes. He was the only doctor in Florida chosen to implant the device to test its effectiveness.
The American Heart Association estimates that 2-3 percent of Americans live with mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve regurgitation, resulting from that prolapse, can lead to complications such as heart failure, abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmias, and blood clots that may lead to stroke or heart attacks, the National Institutes of Health says.
Patients who do get the clip benefit from a quicker recovery than with traditional open-heart surgery that requires a large incision and cracking of the ribs.

Q: непонятно поведение prototype почему код срабатывает лишь в третьем случае

var Army = function(units){
  var group = {units:units};
  group.prototype.attack = function(){
    console.log("army is attack");
  };
  return group;
}
var a = new Army();
a.attack();
//Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'attack' of undefined
//    at new Army (<anonymous>:3:25)

var Army = function(units){
  var group = function(){this.units=units;};
  group.prototype.attack = function(){
    console.log("army is attack");
  };
  return group;
}
var a = new Army();
a.attack();
//Uncaught TypeError: a.attack is not a function

var Army = function(units){
 var group = function(){this.units=units;};
 group.prototype.attack = function(){
  console.log("army is attack");
 };
 return new group();
}
var a = new Army();
a.attack();
// army is attack

A: *

*У объекта group нет свойства prototype, поскольку свойство prototype - это свойство конструкторов.

*Теперь group содержит конструктор, однако и возвращаете вы сам конструктор, а не объект при его помощи сконструированный. Следовательно и обращаться к методу attack нужно как a.prototype.attack, а не a.attack.

*А вот в последнем случае все верно, потому что group - конструктор, и возвращая new group() вы вызываете этот конструктор, следовательно, возвращаете сконструированный им объект, который позволяет через прототип обратиться к методу attack.

Four months of work for a year's worth of income….
With over 10 years serving this affluent community in the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, the business serves mostly individual family homes with complete outdoor decorating and lighting designs and installation. Typically, the work "year" starts in October and ends in January.
The company lights trees and shrubbery, outlines the home, and designs, plans, and installs any decorating scheme the homeowner may like. The business procures all the lights and decorative items, installs, services, and removes them, and stores everything for the next season. Instant Christmas at the flip of a switch!
The business could easily double or triple its sales just with existing demand. New customers are obtained by word-of-mouth, a strong web presence, and a nationally-advertised referral service. But, there is no pro-active marketing—the owner is actually turning away some new customers to avoid the expansion that a new owner may very well want to pursue. Because of economies of scale, aggressive marketing to current customers' neighbors could increase sales with a disproportionately higher increase in profits.
Exposure on the web is two-fold: the national referral service and the company's own comprehensive web site. Both a nationally-advertised and a local "iconic" toll-free numbers receive calls from prospects and customers. The owner works full-time in the business for about four months of the year, with the assistance of 3-6 temporary seasonal employees. Previous years' workers are often available for the next season. Workers are employees with proper paperwork and workers' comp insurance. The company has 175 to 200 customers per season, with more than 125 being regularly recurring clients. The current geographic market includes a 15-mile radius from the company headquarters. While the national referral service has a limited area, the owners of this business have no geographic limits, except for practical considerations of travel distances. Annual sales are in the $170,000 range, with net income to the owner-operator of about $124,000. The fixed assets include the materials for over 200 home installations, ladders and tools, a commercial van, and a box truck with advertising graphics, all with a replacement cost of at least $120,000. The company shares a rental space with another business; the new owner could continue to rent the approximate 1,000 sq feet, including a garage and space to store all lights and materials, for $1,000/month. The transaction will be for the purchase of the entire business—both tangible and intangible assets, including all decorating inventory, vehicles, tools, web sites, phone numbers, customer database, but not including accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash-on-hand, and rental deposit. The asking price is $369,900 (3x net income; 2.1x gross revenue). Seller will provide all necessary support for a seamless and easy transition. Note: All data on this business are provided by the Seller for information purposes only, and no representations are made by the Broker as to accuracy. The Broker has made NO independent verification of the data contained herein. The Broker represents the Seller and does NOT represent the Buyer.
