For centuries, the indigenous Indian tribes would intentionally burn the forests every year. Perhaps they knew that if a fire got out of control, there was no way to stop it. The great eastern forests when Europeans arrived were large open areas underneath the canopy of trees. All underbrush and fuel was kept at a minimum with the annual burnings. After the Indians were displaced and the annual burnings ceased, the forests became choked with underbrush and dead timber.
It seems that the environmental movement has made the idea of pro-active forest management something that we should not do. The goal seems to be to remove all traces of man's effect on the environment, both good and bad, and return the world to a 'natural' state as it existed before we evolved.
This is the underlying philosophy behind the State of California's forest management practices, and explains why they consistently ignore arguments to do controlled burnings to keep the fuel load at a minimum.
Similarly in Australia early explorers noted that there was always smoke somewhere. The aborigines were burning the bush undergrowth as the eucalyptus trees are largely unaffected by small fires, and this burn-off meant easy travelling under the trees and easier to find game.
The eucalyptus trees benefitted too, gaining an advantage over competitive species which, in the dry climate areas, led to their predominance. Where rainfall was heavier and more reliable the rain forests wouldn't burn and were almost impenetrable.
When working on my PhD in plant ecosystems at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, my research work was vegetation on diabase in the Gettysburg Basin area of Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna River.
I found an account by a military party in the 1600's in the PA area which said one could ride for miles through the forests without ducking. They talked about the smell of smoke and the haze from smoke in the late summer and early fall due to the burning. The Indians burned for ease of travel, game habitat and also ease of travel north and south to make war on each other.
Also about the same time there was published symposium on the eastern forests. Finally, scientists had come to the conclusion that the landscape was a patchwork of uneven-aged forest stands due to disease, insect outbreaks, windthrow (especially in hurricane areas) and fire. While there were large areas which were the "primeval" dense forests so romantically envisioned, there were even larger areas which were not.
How can that not be a POLITICAL advert for Climate Alarmism ?
The Era of Megafires (EOM) is a multi-media presentation that combines the research of Dr. Paul Hessburg (Pacific Northwest Research Station, U.S. Forest Service) with the visual storytelling of award-winning film company, North 40 Productions. Utilizing animations, graphics and video vignettes, . . .
We went to one of the first presentations, in 2016.
The Santa Monica Mountains (as well as many other California Mountains) are generally sparse in trees. However, they are lush in bushy and grassy growth (and sometimes wildflowers) during/after generous winter rains. At such times, these mountains are in their glory with beautiful, lush green landscapes. This has been the case during the past 3 spring seasons. By the time June rolls around, however, there is no rain to be found (it's simply the nature of the desert climate), and the grasses quickly dry up, leaving behind dust and highly flammable shrubbery. One visiting these mountains during August, and then again in March might wonder if they are actually in the same place as the scenery (as well as the air temperatures) differ dramatically.
I am not able to conceive of a practical way of "clearing" or "thinning" these mountains of this vegetation to prevent fires (although one may, indeed, exist). There are generally limited "forests" of trees to thin. In "typical" forests, there is at least is the possibility of some level of financial benefit in selectively foresting timber that has some market value. And, while I know we must look beyond strictly economic outcomes while enacting policy, it is a great victory and realistically more attainable when creative solutions are found that are also financially desirable. Controlled burns may be useful and perhaps practicable, but in my humble mind, when I see the vastness of the mountain lands, it is difficult to conceive of realistically accomplishing this. Additionally, in this highly populous state (which is not, by any means, an ecologically desirable situation but is, indeed, reality) the spring/summer/fall air quality is poor enough to cause those with even the mildest case of COPD (such as myself) to have serious health issues without adding the the burden of particulate pollution from burning.
It seems that it is the very nature of these desert mountains to grow lush, dry up and sometimes burn. They are simply subject to flammability, ESPECIALLY after a particularly rainy season. This goes against what most would perceive to be logical. One normally thinks of the land being LESS susceptible to wildfires when rain is plenty – and more susceptible to burning during drought. But, if one takes into account the vegetation growing in these desert mountains, it starts to make perfect, rational sense.
I am not a Forestry expert, and certainly have not spent my life doing anything remotely close to Forest Management; However, 2018's Woolsey Fire and 2017's Thomas Fire burned following very generous rainy seasons in mountains that grew stunningly green and lush, but then turned quickly to dry brush in the summer months. While I know there are pockets in these mountains thick with trees, much of what burned – was sparsely forested, and the winds were able to carry the raging fires across the rocky, dusty brushy surfaces at speeds beyond comprehension.
It is, more often than not, essentially important to correctly identify the nature of a problem (which will always be multi-dimensional) in order to even begin to identify useful solutions; And while I recognize the California wildfires as a situation most worthy of attempting to remedy, I am baffled and frustrated to continually hear and see causes identified that are not only over-simplified, but fly directly in the face of my reality — having camped in and around these stunningly lush, green mountains during March/April, 2018 (at which time I read that at least one reservoir in the area was forced to spill off water after reaching record high levels) — as well as being present in summer months and witnessing the stark differences.
While it may not sound as devastatingly hopeless and apocalyptic, and lacks the sensationalism of assigning unforgivable blame, it would be so refreshing to have these wildfires, which have caused unmentionable grief to so many, discussed rationally, thoughtfully and honestly at a public level.
In the USA, over 80% of wild fires, somehow or other, are related to people and their doings. Prevention aspects directed at people will be easier than most other methods. Where it is known people will be, clearing is helpful.
The Chaparral or Mediterranean Sclerophyll Forest Formation is fire maintained. In the past it was maintained by frequent flash fires which were fueled by the resins in the leaves of the shrubby plants. These species sprout up from the roots under these situations. The problem comes when fires are suppressed and a lot of fuel is allowed to build up.
The US area burned by forest fire annual trend plunged from the 1930s and had remained relatively low until 2000.
This is annoying because the loggers would pay for contracts to strip out fire-breaks and clean up deadwood.
Flooding is another (largely) avoidable problem, it's just a piece of cake to dredge rivers, use the dredged silt to build up the river banks, or even use the silt on the fields to condition the soil.
More than dodgy– demonstrably incorrect. No CO2 whether from man caused forest fires or naturally ignited burning coal seams stays in the atmosphere more than 4 or 5 years. The recent rate of growth in the atmosphere is about 2 PPM. Equal to about half of human emissions or a quarter of emissions from termites. It is also about 3% of natural emissions which vary widely from year to year but are substantially controlled by temperature-mostly sea surface temperature. If the CO2 from forest fires were somehow different from CO2 from warming oceans and built up in the atmosphere we would have concentrations not seen for several million years. We don't so we have to conclude that the sinks almost equal the sources and fossil fuel emissions of the same molecule are distributed in the atmosphere about in the ration of the emissions- about 3%.
No doubt this will all be explained by that well known entertainer David Attenborough in his forthcoming TV show "Climate Change: the facts" BBC1 9.00pm Thursday. Get in the popcorn.
Obviously, we need to start pelletizing every tree and bush in California, shipping them across the entire continental USA, loading them into boats, shipping them across the Atlantic, unloading them into trucks, shipping them to Drax, and burning the lot over there. The only question is if both countries get to count the CO2 savings that must result from this effort.

Trump performed another big lie at blaming Democrats for the illegal families separation policy that his administration announced on April 6, 2018
VietPress USA (June 18, 2018): As of May 2, 2018, Donald Trump has told more than 3,000 lies to the American public since being sworn in as President of the United States, setting a new record for both himself and the office of the Presidency. This amounts to roughly 6.5 lies per day, meaning that the frequency of the lies is increasing. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousinsdiscusses Trump's lying problem, but also the problem of the supporters who blindly believe these lies.
If there is one thing that Donald Trump does better than any other president that came before him, it's lying to the American. Just 466 days into his presidency, the Washington Post released a report showing that Donald Trump had lied more than 3,000 times in those first 466 days of his presidency. In fact, it was 3,001 lies that he had told to the public in those 466 days. More lies than any other president in recorded history for the United States of America. Another milestone for Trump. He is officially the most lying, dishonest president that this country has ever had. Those 3,001 lies, which at this point it's actually more than 3,001, amount to 6.5 lies per day.(https://trofire.com/2018/05/02/trump-sets-new-record-by-lying-to-americans-over-3000-times-in-466-days/).
Today on Monday afternoon, June 18, 2018, in an address to the National Space Council at the White House, Trump performed another big lie when he continues to blames Democrat party for the family separation crisis caused by his immigration policy declared since April 6, 2018.
"I say, very strongly, it's the Democrats fault," Trump said. "The United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility."

Trump: 'The United States will not be a migrant camp'
Yahoo News• June 18, 2018
President Trump on Monday again tried to shift blame for his administration's controversial policy of separating immigrant families at the border to Democrats, while others in his administration threw up a variety of confusing, misleading and sometimes contradictory explanations and defenses.
"Why don't the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world's worst immigration laws?" the president tweeted. "Where is the outcry for the killings and crime being caused by gangs and thugs, including MS-13, coming into our country illegally?"
"Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country," he continued. "Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S."
"CHANGE THE LAWS!" Trump wrote, adding: "It is the Democrats [sic] fault for being weak and ineffective with Boarder [sic] Security and Crime. Tell them to start thinking about the people devastated by Crime coming from illegal immigration. Change the laws!"

There is no U.S. law requiring that the children of immigrants entering the country illegally to be separated from their parents. The administration, unlike previous ones, is treating the adults as criminals and jailing them, which requires them to be separated from the children.
In an address to the National Space Council at the White House on Monday afternoon, Trump continued to blame Democrats for the family separation crisis while ratcheting up the rhetoric.

"We want safety and we want security," Trump added. "If the Democrats would sit down instead of obstructing we could have something done very quickly — good for the children, good for the country."
Trump's comments come amid growing bipartisan backlash over the Trump administration policy that has resulted in 1,995 children being separated from parents who are accused of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border between April 19 and May 31.
According to Quinnipiac University poll released by Monday, 66 percent of American voters oppose the policy of separating children and parents when families illegally cross the border, compared to 27 percent that support it.
"I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel," former first lady Laura Bush wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published on Sunday night. "It is immoral. And it breaks my heart."
Many of the children separated from their families have been held in detention centers. In one facility toured by the Associated Press, hundreds of children were seen "in a series of cages created by metal fencing." The children were given "bottles of water, bags of chips and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets."
On Sunday night, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen pushed back against mounting criticism by denying that the policy actually exists.
"We do not have a policy of separating families at the border," she tweeted. "Period."
On "Fox & Friends" Monday, Hogan Gidley, a special assistant to the president, said the policy of separating children from their parents is "all the Democrats' doing." But recent comments from members of the Trump administration would indicate otherwise.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
In April, Sessions announced a new "zero-tolerance policy," which he described as an "escalated effort to prosecute those who choose to illegally cross our border." Under Sessions' directive, all those apprehended for entering the United States illegally — including families with small children — would be criminally charged.
"To those who wish to challenge the Trump Administration's commitment to public safety, national security, and the rule of law, I warn you," Sessions said. "Illegally entering this country will not be rewarded, but will instead be met with the full prosecutorial powers of the Department of Justice."
Last week, Sessions responded to criticism from church groups and religious leaders, citing the Bible in his defense.
"I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order," Sessions said. "Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.
"Our policies that can result in short term separation of families is not unusual or unjustified," he continued. "American citizens that are jailed do not take their children to jail with them. And non-citizens who cross our borders unlawfully between our ports of entry with children are not an exception. They are the ones who broke the law. They are the ones who endangered their own children on their trek."
Sarah Sanders, White House press secretary
Last week, Sanders also cited the Bible in her defense of the immigration policy.
"It is very biblical to enforce the law," Sanders told reporters. "The separation of illegal alien families is the product of the same legal loopholes that Democrats refuse to close. And these laws are the same that have been on the books for over a decade. And the president is simply enforcing them."
Sanders also insisted that ripping children from their parents is a moral practice.
"It's a moral policy to follow and enforce the law," she said.
Chief of Staff John Kelly
In an interview with NPR last month, Kelly said that the "name of the game" is deterrence.
"The vast majority of the people that move illegally into United States are not bad people," Kelly said. "They're not criminals. They're not MS-13. Some of them are not. But they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society. They're overwhelmingly rural people in the countries they come from — fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English; obviously that's a big thing — they don't speak English. They don't integrate well; they don't have skills. They're not bad people. They're coming here for a reason. And I sympathize with the reason. But the laws are the laws."
Kelly agreed that family separation is a "tough deterrent" but disagreed that it was "cruel and heartless to take a mother away from her children."
"I wouldn't put it quite that way," Kelly said. "The children will be taken care of — put into foster care or whatever. But the big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States, and this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long."
Senior policy adviser Stephen Miller
"No nation can have the policy that whole classes of people are immune from immigration law or enforcement," Miller told the New York Times last week. "It was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero-tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law."
During a background call with reporters Friday, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security echoed Miller's sentiment.
"Advocates want us to ignore the law and give people with families a free pass," the spokesman said. "We no longer exempt entire classes of people."
First lady Melania Trump
On Sunday night, the first lady's office issued a statement saying that Melania Trump "hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform."
"We need to be a country that follows all laws," she added. "But also a country that governs with heart."

ALYI Opts For EV Road Less Traveled Toward Bigger Potential Payday
September 01 2020 - 11:56AM
Dallas, TX -- September 1, 2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Alternet Systems, Inc. (USOTC: ALYI), in advance of a funding release schedule for tomorrow from its investment partner RevoltTOKEN (www.revolttoken.com), announced today its optimism in the success of both realizing its $100 million funding object through RevoltTOKEN's upcoming ICO, and exceeding far beyond its initial $300 million African electric mobility sales goals.
ALYI management highlighted today that most other notable electric vehicle (EV) companies are pursuing IPOs and SPACS to fund their business plans.
Statista reports, "The share of U.S. companies that were profitable after their IPO has been falling since a decade high of 81 percent in 2009. In 2018, this figure had dropped to only 28 percent, which may spell bad news for this form of raising capital."
Investopedia reports that the SPAC market in 2019 was $13.6 billion. Statista reports the ICO market in 2019 was $14.8 billion.
While one EV company after another announces a SPAC merger, ALYI, virtually in a field by itself, pursues the larger and growing ICO market.
While ALYI management is pursuing an investment road less traveled, the investment market trends indicate ALYI's path is taking the company in a promising direction.
ALYI's investment strategy is consistent with its market sector development strategy. While most EV companies pursue the replacement of existing internal combustion engine powered vehicles within developed economies, ALYI is focusing on bringing technology leapfrog EV solutions to developing economic regions where adequate existing per capita transportation solutions are not yet in place and have dramatic room for growth.
ALYI intends to feature a news release tomorrow, September 2, 2020, from its funding partner, RevoltTOKEN (www.revolttoken.com). RevoltTOKEN has recently secured what it refers to as "the last key component" necessary to proceed with a $100 million investment transaction to fund ALYI's $300 million electric mobility initiative in Africa that could soon be a $500 million initiative.
ALYI New Electric Motorcycle Orders Could Edge Revenue Potential To $500M
ALYI has entered into a comprehensive funding agreement with RevoltTOKEN that includes an existing $25 million first tranche investment commitment at $0.05 per share. ALYI has initiated a $2.5 million draw down on the first $25 million to begin construction on a 100-acre facility in Africa. Overall, RevoltTOKEN intends to invest $100 million in ALYI in conjunction with an independent initial cryptocurrency offering (ICO).
RevoltTOKEN has already partitioned a cryptocurrency on the Ethereum Blockchain in advance of the planned ICO.
ALYI's funding partner, RevoltTOKEN (www.revolttoken.com) will present a comprehensive update tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2, 2020 on the $100 million transaction intended to fund ALYI's electric mobility business. In addition to featuring the key component now in place, the presentation will include an overall update on progress toward the launch of the RevoltTOKEN initial cryptocurrency offering (ICO). Based on both individual investor and institutional investor response, the presentation will specifically include an overview on how the $100 million funding target could well be exceeded.

Wish Book: The Grateful Garment Project clothes…
Wish Book: The Grateful Garment Project clothes victims of sex crimes
By Lisa Krieger and Lisa M. Krieger |
PUBLISHED: December 27, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 12, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
SAN JOSE — After a rape, victims often lose their innocence and perhaps their faith. Then they lose their clothing. Perhaps torn and bloody, defiled and loaded with DNA, the clothes are needed by authorities as evidence.
The Grateful Garment Project gives victims back an outfit — and with it, some dignity.
"People were going home in disposable hospital gowns," said Lisa Blanchard, the project"s founder and director. "It"s humiliating. Horrific."
Her small 4-year-old organization, run out of a modest San Jose office, has donated nearly 20,000 items of clothing — brand-new, fresh and clean, in sizes ranging from 3T to 3X — to victims of sex crimes in 25 California counties.
But the group needs more. There are people and places it hasn"t yet reached. And it"s trying to provide more nonclothing items, such as toothbrushes, flip-flops, protein bars and tote bags to carry post-assault medications.
A donated DVD player, for instance, will help distract a child undergoing an hourslong medical exam, Blanchard said. Donated books, such as "Runaway Girl: Escaping Life on the Streets" or "Girls Like Us," can help with healing.
Blanchard also hopes to decorate the often-gritty offices of county Sexual Assault Response Teams, typically located in neglected corners of hospitals or sheriff"s departments. The waiting room in San Gabriel in Los Angeles County, for example, has only spartan redwood benches for seating. Another room, made of cinder block, has only plastic lawn chairs.
The project also needs volunteers to count, fold and help distribute clothing, as well as perform other odd jobs.
A new outfit can be purchased with a $50 donation. Twice that amount — $100 — can fill a backpack with personal care items, clothing and basic food for a child who has been rescued from prostitution or a woman saved from human trafficking.
These are modest steps towards easing such a profound assault, Blanchard and board President Barbara Otto acknowledge.
The prevalence of sexual assault will continue to create demand for their services. For instance, Santa Clara County conducts an average of 280 sexual assault exams annually, offering its patients clothes through internal clothing drives or staff donations. Both males and females are assaulted. The most common age range is 12 to 24.
Grateful for the project"s help, members of Sexual Assault Response Teams from around the state have written letters of appreciation.
Ann McCarty, of the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center, wrote that "providing them with a survivor kit — which includes underwear, T-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts and shoes along with snacks and a teddy bear — begins the recovery process and allows survivors to leave the hospital with their dignity intact."
"Asking for a clothing handout is difficult for anyone in any circumstance, but imagine having to ask because you were sexually violated. The Grateful Garment Project is a very important resource for the ACFJC and for the clients we serve," according to a statement from the Alameda County Family Justice Center.
The project was conceived during a brief coffee break at a church retreat by Blanchard — a widow and single mother of three children by age 27 — and a complete stranger.
It was a chilly, rainy day, and Blanchard noticed the woman sitting on a sofa, wrapped in a green sleeping bag.
They happily chatted. And each asked the other: "If anything is possible through God, what would you do?"
Blanchard described her dream of attending college, getting a degree in psychology, becoming a therapist and someday gaining fame on a lecture circuit.
Then it was the stranger"s turn. She asked, simply: "Do you know that when people get a medical exam after being sexually assaulted, they have to give up all their clothes?"
The pair agreed that a "clothing closet" was a great idea for a project. After the coffee break, they parted ways, agreeing to share contact information. Then the stranger vanished. Blanchard has since tried to learn her identity but to no avail.
Blanchard"s first client was San Jose"s Valley Medical Center, as part of her graduation thesis assignment in 2011 while attending Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont.
It was so welcomed by VMC officials that within two months, four more facilities asked for help. By 2012, she was delivering clothing to Sexual Assault Response Teams in 12 counties. That number has since doubled, guided by a board of directors that includes Blanchard"s son William Cotter, a former Air Force military police officer.
Until acquiring office space, the group operated out of Blanchard"s home, with just a laptop and a cellphone.
"I had a living room full of panties," she joked.
She has since earned a master"s degree from the University of San Francisco. Long unpaid, she now earns a small salary.
The project has taken members to distant corners of the state, such as the steep and windy roads of remote Lassen County, in a teal minivan packed full with supplies. They also deliver clothing to tough urban hospitals, such as Oakland"s Highland Hospital.
"I feel like a missionary in my own land," said Blanchard, 49.
The most commonly donated item is an adult T-shirt, thanks to Livermore"s Greenlight Apparel, which manufactures high-quality performance T-shirts for athletic events and sometimes has misprints.
Underwear is in greatest demand. Also needed are yoga pants, sweatpants, sports bras, socks, hooded sweatshirts, flip-flops and slippers, blankets and grooming items such as toothbrushes and shampoo.
The group is expanding its mission. To encourage teen victims to return for follow-up medical and counseling appointments, it provides gift cards to Jamba Juice, Starbucks and other venues popular with youths.
It also offers $50 gift cards to help low-income women buy appropriate clothing to wear to court if their cases go to trial.
"You can"t show up for court in a T-shirt," Blanchard said. "Providing new clothing, including shoes and a small "comfort" item, aids in the confidence and courage it takes to face their perpetrators once again in court."
As Super Bowl 50 approaches, the group is gearing up to pack 250 kits for the anticipated surge of numbers of women seeking help after assault.
"Our dream is to live in a world where there is not a need for The Grateful Garment Project," Blanchard said. "But until then, seven days a week, we"re helping people heal."

Turns out it's not where, but who you're with that really matters.
It has been six months since we went on our honeymoon and I am only on day four. Great. It is almost getting to the point where I don't recall exactly what we did. But, since I started this, I am bound and determined to finish it.
On day four, we left my Aunt Shelley's cabin and continued our tour of Nova Scotia. In the last few years I have become more and more interested in my Scottish heritage and am really looking forward to visiting Scotland in a few years. We stopped in a small town called Pictou. This is where the first Scottish settlers landed in "New Scotland" and this is a replica of the boat they came on.
It was really deep. Stupid road to nowhere. At least we weren't the only tourists to make this mistake. It was gold when we saw a giant RV going down this road as well. I have no idea where they were going to find a place to turn around.
Finally, we got to the good stuff. We arrived at the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. This is a beautiful park. The Cabot trail is a gorgeous drive. Here are some highlights of that drive.
As stated before, Jeff and I love waterfalls. Along the drive in this National Park, there were quite a few to see. They were usually around 2 km hikes return to see them. We had a lot to see before it got dark, so Jeff and I would power walk these trails to get there, see the falls, and get back to the RAV so that we could make it to our campsite before dark.
Along the drive, we hit a second waterfall :Beulach Ban Falls.
We also stopped at this rock point with a nice view of the ocean.
I made Jeff climb down and go to that rock out there.
This might be on of my fave pics from the honeymoon. Yay for Jeff ,Yay for the Ocean and Yay for our camera's zoom power!!!
We finally arrived at our campsite. We still had some daylight hours left, so we went to one last waterfall: Mary Anne's falls.

A: I think the problem is in your gradle file. you placed okhttp in libs folder and your compiling it twice.
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.okhttp'

Q: Breakdown an integer value to an array of integer maintaining the sum I am working on a project where I need to breakdown an integer value according to an array of percentage values.
My end array must contain integer value and the sum of the array must be equal to the initial integer.
Below is a fake example. We have a list of cars with some "potentials" and we need to allocate this potential to a specific postal code. the postal code allocation is dictated by some sellout information.
SELLOUTS_PER_P_CODE is dictating the weight to be put for each postal code allocation. For example, for the first car (car 1), there is a lot of weight for p_code_3 and less for p_code_2 and even less for p_code_1 so the allocation should be respectively for car 1 p_code_1=1, p_code_2=2, p_code_3=4.
Bellow is the mathematical form of the problem.

Here I am implementing this formulation using pyomo however it doesn't produce the expected result. The model doesn't take into consideration the weight factor from SELLOUTS_PER_P_CODE
from pyomo.environ import *
from pprint import pprint

def distribute(total, weights):
    scale = float(sum(weights.values())) / total
    return {k: v / scale for k, v in weights.items()}

Cars = ["car 1", "car 2", "car 3"]
Locations = ["p_code_1", "p_code_2", "p_code_3"]
POTENTIALS = {"car 1": 7, "car 2": 2, "car 3": 14}
SELLOUTS = {"p_code_1": 0.2, "p_code_2": 0.3, "p_code_3": 0.5}

SELLOUTS_PER_P_CODE = {}

for car in Cars:
    pot = POTENTIALS[car]
    scaled_sellout = distribute(pot, SELLOUTS)
    t = {(car, p_code): v for p_code, v in scaled_sellout.items()}
    SELLOUTS_PER_P_CODE.update(t)

pprint(SELLOUTS_PER_P_CODE)

model = ConcreteModel(name="Breakdown Potential to Postal Code")

model.Cars = Set(initialize=Cars)
model.Locations = Set(initialize=Locations)

model.a = Param(model.Cars, model.Locations, initialize=SELLOUTS_PER_P_CODE)
model.p = Param(model.Cars, initialize=POTENTIALS)

model.X_pos = Var(model.Cars, model.Locations, within=NonNegativeIntegers)
model.X_neg = Var(model.Cars, model.Locations, within=NonNegativeIntegers)

def objective_rule(model):
    return sum(
        (model.X_pos[i, j] - model.a[i, j] * model.p[i])
        - (model.X_neg[i, j] - model.a[i, j] * model.p[i])
        for i in model.Cars
        for j in model.Locations
    )

model.objective = Objective(rule=objective_rule, sense=minimize)

def sum_maintained_rule(model, i):
    return (
        sum(model.X_pos[i, j] for j in model.Locations)
        + sum(model.X_neg[i, j] for j in model.Locations)
        == model.p[i]
    )

model.sum_maintained = Constraint(model.Cars, rule=sum_maintained_rule)

def pyomo_postprocess(options=None, instance=None, results=None):
    model.pprint()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    opt = SolverFactory("glpk")
    results = opt.solve(model)
    results.write()
    print("\nDisplaying Solution\n" + "-" * 80)
    pyomo_postprocess(None, model, results)

And finally here is the incorrect output. Notice X_neg and X_pos for the output allocation.

We ended up with one of the most facinating portraits I have ever taken of Carl with his wonderful Bearded Dragons "Lucy" and "Dave" We also love the one with Carl in Black and white and "Lucy the Bearded Dragon on his shoulder.
Carl with his Bearded Dragons " Mustard & Luphy "
Here's another we really liked Carl with Mustrad The Bearded Dragon making eye to eye contact!
Now meet "Mustard the Bearded Dragon"
So if you have Bearded Dragons or anyother sort of " Non Dangerous " reptiles you would like to have photographed with you – You know who to call. Lastly We just had to show you this lovely picture of Carls Partner Stephanie with her lovely dog "Tipsey" Thanks to both of you for a very enjoyable Bearded Dragon Portraits photographic shoot.
Stephanie & Tipsey having a cuddle!


ROY Keane last night told Fabio Capello that Sunderland midfielder Kieran Richardson is ready for an England recall.
Richardson won the last of his eight caps two years ago and hasn't had a look-in since swapping Manchester United for the Stadium of Light.
But Keane insists his former Old Trafford team-mate is now scaling the same heights which convinced former England coach Sven Goran Eriksson to pick him.
Keane said: "Kieran is climbing back to the level he was at three or four years ago – and that was a time when he was an England player.
"He was the main man out in the USA when he scored two goals.
Richardson endured a roller-coaster first season on Wearside, but has been Sunderland's best performer this term.
Although the Black Cats go into tonight's Carling Cup tie with Blackburn on the back of three defeats, the 24-year-old's form has been consistent.


Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness (centre), shares a laugh with Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett (right); and Karisma Hotels and Resorts Chairman, Rafael Feliz at the official opening of the Azul Beach Resort Sensatori Jamaica on June 29 in Negril, Westmoreland.
Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, has welcomed the investment by Karisma Hotels and Resorts in the country's tourism sector.
The company has indicated that it intends to pump US$1 billion in a 'Sugar Cane Jamaica' hotel development outside of Ocho Rios, St. Ann, over the next decade.
Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, for his part, hailed Karisma as a "very reliable partner", noting that the company's investment in Jamaica "remains one of the largest single tourism investment the country has ever seen".
The Prime Minister said he is looking forward to the company's "build-out in Jamaica, offering unique experiences to our visitors".
"Jamaica is attaining the critical mass to maintain its competitiveness with increased room stock, availability of airlifts and easier transportation via sea, air and land," he noted.
Mr. Holness was addressing the official opening of the Azul Beach Resort Sensatori Jamaica in Negril on June 29.
"The Government of Jamaica has been doing everything to show that they understand the importance of tourism to the economy," he pointed out.
"We have been getting nothing but some wonderful assistance and we are really proud to be doing our part in helping to bring more visitors to the island," he added.
Mr. Feliz said Jamaica is on track to becoming the region's top tourism destination.
"An investment of US$1 billion is significant in any language," he pointed out. "We are proud to have partners like these… partners, who walk the walk and talk the talk and who are more than ready to take us to that next big level where we are indeed the destination of choice in the Caribbean," he added.
Meanwhile, Minister Bartlett said the visitor-arrival figures continue to increase, with the country welcoming 973,000 stopover visitors at the end of May, and the number rising sharply to more than a million before mid-June.
Located on Negril's Seven Mile Beach, Azul Beach Resort Sensatori Jamaica combines the original 136-suite hotel, which opened in December 2013, and a new 149-room property.
The properties, which are adjacent and share facilities, feature 285 suites, 10 restaurants, nine bars and lounges, plus spa, gym, children's playhouse, and more.
Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Hon. Daryl Vaz; Chairman of the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), John Lynch; Senior Advisor in the Ministry, Delano Seiveright; and Opposition Tourism Spokesman, Dr. Wykeham McNeill were among those at the opening ceremony.
Karisma Hotels & Resorts plans to operate 35 resorts worldwide by 2020, building on recent growth in the Caribbean and Mexico.
The company has 26 properties in Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe under several brands, including El Dorado, Azul, Generations, Sensatori and Nickelodeon.

I Chose a Cyber Charter School for My Daughter and Our Relationship's Never Been Better
Charter Schools Commonwealth Charter Academy Cyber Charter School family autonomy National School Choice Week Pennsylvania School Choice School Choice Week Stephanie Skolnik
Posted Jan. 29, 2021 in Charter Schools, School Choice
Stephanie Skolnik is a mom of four in Pennsylvania.
Full profile →
Five years ago, school was just not working for my oldest daughter, Kelly, who has ADHD and anxiety and was struggling as a student. We had tried public school and private school but nothing seemed to work. My daughter was trying so hard as a student, and I was trying so hard as her mom to help her.
The constant struggle and frustration took a toll on our relationship, as well as our social lives. Every evening was spent completing her homework and studying for tests. I have three other children, Rachel, Grace, and Emily, and everyone could feel the tension in our home.
Exhausted and in desperate need of a change, we decided to try a different learning choice. We joined Commonwealth Charter Academy—the largest public cyber charter school in our state—and at last, we found success!
National School Choice Week is just a few weeks away! CCA parent Stephanie Skolnik says school choice means parents should have the option to send their children to whichever school they feel is the best fit. pic.twitter.com/UFGmOr2M8Y
— Commonwealth Charter Academy (@CommCharterAcad) January 7, 2021
Commonwealth Charter Academy was the perfect fit for Kelly. She was able to take breaks when she needed them. She had flexible deadlines so we were able to work on things at our pace and in our time. This freed up our evenings and for the first time, and we could participate in community activities and sports.
We had every textbook, study guide, and worksheet at home or online so there was no more nagging about items she had forgotten at school. Every assignment was posted online so there was no more wondering what she had to do for homework.
The teachers and special education department at the school went above and beyond. I no longer felt like I had to beg for accommodations for my daughter. Kelly was reevaluated, and an Individualized Education Program (IEP) was developed, including speech and occupational therapy.
The communication and support from the teachers at Commonwealth Charter Academy was amazing! My daughter learned that she could reach out to her teachers and that they would answer her quickly with a genuine desire to help her. The teachers were willing to meet one-on-one as needed for extra help, and they helped her to break assignments into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Kelly's grades and her confidence grew. She went from a struggling C-average student to an independent A-average student. I watched my daughter become a happy and successful learner. With the educational frustrations gone, our relationship was renewed. Kelly and I became a team: We smiled, we laughed and we learned together.
In 2019, my daughter auditioned for acceptance into a public charter school, where she was accepted as a media arts major. She has transitioned beautifully, and I give the credit to Commonwealth Charter Academy for preparing her as a student. In November, she was selected as student of the month, and she holds an A/B-average. I am so proud of my daughter!
I share this story during National School Choice Week because school choice made this success story possible. School choice gave my daughter the opportunity to find the educational environment that worked for her. Personally, school choice gave me back my relationship with my daughter. Today, my family is stronger than ever and our home is a happy place to be. And that is why I celebrate National School Choice Week!

Steve Waugh has responded after Shane Warne branded him as the "most selfish" player he ever played with. Picture: Getty
Waugh fires back at Warne serve
by Jacob Polychronis
STEVE Waugh has responded to criticism from Shane Warne that branded him as the "most selfish" player he ever played with.
Warne hit out at Waugh in his book No Spin, suggesting the former Australian captain was only concerned with keeping his average above 50.
Waugh initially brushed off the criticism on Thursday before saying he "didn't need to justify anything" he did as captain.
Speaking to ABC's News Breakfast, he said: "I'm responding (to Warne) by not responding because I don't think it needs a response."
Warne pointed to the 1999 tour of the West Indies as evidence for his claims, after Waugh led calls to drop the leg-spinner, who was recovering from shoulder surgery and was also vice-captain.
The incident was the tipping point in their relationship, Warne recalled.
Waugh on Thursday initially brushed off the criticism before saying he "didn't need to justify anything" he did as captain.
Speaking on Thursday of the same moment, Waugh said: "I had to make a decision as a captain and as a leader.
"Unfortunately, I didn't want to make that decision but I did it for the benefit of the team. You've got to have loyalty to a certain degree but you can't have blind loyalty. I guess that's what Shane expected on that occasion.
"I had to make a decision. I got on fine with Shane we had a great relationship. As a leader you're put in a tough position sometimes but that's why you're a leader.'
Waugh added that work with his foundation for children and young adults with rare diseases helped "put things in perspective".
"That's what's important to me. Not what someone says about something that happened 20 years ago"
In his book, Warne detailed the day their already fractured relationship broke down.
Warne, who was Waugh's deputy during the 1999 tour of the West Indies, was struggling with the ball after coming back from a shoulder operation.
Windies legend Brian Lara had made short work of the stocky leggie as the home side rocketed to a 2-1 lead.
It wasn't always sunshine and butterflies for the legendary pair.
Waugh thought Warne should be dropped from the side for the next Test as the tourists tried to salvage a series draw.
"I was vice-captain and bowling pretty ordinary and Tugga (Waugh) opened the selection meeting between the two of us and Geoff Marsh, the coach, by saying, 'Warney, I don't think you should play this next Test,'" Warne wrote.
"'I think Warney should play, mate," said Geoff.
"'Well, I'm captain and I don't agree,' said Steve. Silence.
"Swampy (Marsh) suggested we ask Allan Border, who was in Antigua with a tour group. So we found him and got him in that evening. All the boys were waiting for a team meeting to begin.
"'Jesus Christ, I back Warney every time,' AB said. 'The situation is made for him. Anyway, we owe him. Think of what he's done for Australian cricket. We need to show faith.'
"Then Steve said, 'No, I appreciate your thoughts, AB, but Warney's not playing. I'm going with my gut here. Sorry, guys.'
"Disappointed is not a strong enough word. When the crunch came Tugga didn't support me, and I felt so totally let down by someone who I had supported big time and was also a good friend."
Warne said he lost "a bit of respect" for Waugh after the encounter
"I believe he should have backed me - as I always believe the art of captaincy is to support your players and back them every time," he said.
"Steve Waugh was the most selfish player I ever played with and was only worried about averaging 50. It was about a lack of loyalty. Pretty childish, I know, but that's the way it was."
It's safe to say most Aussie sports fans will agree the iconic baggy green is more sacred than the crown jewels.
The famous dark green cap - handed out to just 455 men in over 140 years of the sport - goes hand-in-hand with most great Test cricketing stories.
If you ever needed reminding of the importance placed on a piece of fabric, take a look at the miniature ceremony, accompanied by a speech from a former player, held each and every time a player makes their debut.
Tales of current Australian coach Justin Langer sleeping with his prized cap sit atop the pile of bizarre baggy green worship stories.
But Shane Warne simply couldn't give a damn about all that pomp.
Shane Warne didn't understand the Baggy Green obsession.
Speaking on BBC Radio on Thursday night, the 145-Test star shredded his former teammates' obsession with the cap.
While saying he always valued playing for Australia, the former leg spinner stressed that what you wore on your head had nothing to do with how much you loved performing for your country.
"I was embarrassed about some of the verbal diarrhoea that came out about the baggy green cap. I believed you didn't need a baggy green cap to say that you loved playing cricket for Australia," Warne said.
"Myself and Mark Waugh loved wearing a white floppy hat, it helped with sun protection and it felt more comfortable on our head. The green baggy was too tight, we didn't like the look of it on our heads."
Warne said Steve Waugh's obsession with the cap became "the ultimate embarrassment" when he decided the team should all wear it while supporting Pat Rafter in a match at Wimbledon in 2001.
"We went to watch Pat Rafter at Wimbledon - and he wanted the whole team to wear it. And I looked at Mark Waugh and he said 'I am not wearing that,'" Warne said.
"So the guys (who) idolised Steve Waugh, Langer, Hayden, Gilchrist, those type of guys, all wore the baggy green cap to Wimbledon," Warne scorned.
"It makes me puke to think that these grown men wore green baggy caps to Wimbledon! So I refused.
"Looking back at some of those photos ... it was embarrassing to watch."
Taking a look back at Warne's career in photographs, it's tough to find an image of the nation's leading wicket-taker taking the field without his floppy.

The Trump Administration has said very little about its plans for NASA's human spaceflight program other than terminating the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), but NASA continues to shape its architecture for sending people to Mars in the 2030s. The status of that planning was presented to a NASA Advisory Council (NAC) committee today.
Bill Gerstenmaier and Jim Free of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) spoke to NAC's Human Exploration and Operations committee this morning. Two of Gerstenmaier's slides summarized current plans for launches of the Space Launch System (SLS), Orion, and associated systems — including a lunar "gateway" — from 2018 to 2030 and beyond. All would culminate in a human mission to orbit Mars in 2033.
Screengrab from NASA presentation to NASA Advisory Council HEO Committee March 28, 2017.
One interesting feature is that the first two Exploration Mission launches, EM-1 and EM-2, are separated on the slide by the launch of the Europa Clipper mission. That is notionally expected in 2022. The schedule fits with NASA's official plan to launch EM-1 in 2018 and its commitment date to launch EM-2 in 2023, but the agency is working toward an internal deadline of 2021 for the EM-2 launch and Congress is providing additional funding to achieve it. The slide suggests that NASA does not want to go too far in promising the earlier launch date. The slide also shows EM-1 as a 25-60 day mission to a Distant Lunar Retrograde Orbit, not a crewed mission, which NASA is currently studying.
Another feature is the lunar "gateway" NASA recently has begun discussing. Free emphasized today that the gateway would not be another International Space Station (ISS) in lunar orbit. It would be smaller and human-tended, not permanently inhabited — a location from which to stage missions to Mars and possibly to the lunar surface.
"Robust international partnerships" and "commercial capabilities" are essential ingredients of the plan, he added.
The humans-to-Mars mission in 2033 could involve a Venus flyby, they said. It would be an "out and back" mission, but the crew would remain in Mars orbit for a period of time. That differentiates it from the Inspiration Mars mission proposed by Dennis Tito several years ago. In that scenario, two people would have made a slingshot flyby of Mars, not enter orbit. Tito's original idea was for a privately funded mission that would launch in 2018, but within a year Tito decided that it would need to be a public-private partnership with NASA shouldering 70 percent of the cost. The conceptual launch date slipped to 2021 when Mars and the Earth were not as well aligned and the spacecraft would have needed a gravity assist from Venus. House Science, Space, and Technology Committee chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) was a strong supporter of the idea. Little has been heard about it recently, but this NASA concept is sure to prompt comparisons.
NASA describes the path to Mars in terms of phases and the Asteroid Redirect Crewed Mission (ARCM) at one time was to signal the end of Phase 1 when experience was gained in cis-lunar space (the Earth-Moon region). President Trump has proposed terminating the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), however, and NASA is reconfiguring its plans accordingly. ARM comprises ARCM and the Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission (ARRM). ARRM was to launch first and robotically relocate a boulder from the surface of an asteroid into lunar orbit where ARCM astronauts would visit it to obtain a sample for return to Earth. The mission had few supporters in Congress and the proposal to terminate it is not likely to generate much opposition.
However, ARM involved the development of high power solar electric propulsion (SEP) and that part of the program is expected to continue. The "40 kw Power/Prop bus" shown on the slides reflects that effort. High power SEP is useful for many types of missions in Earth orbit and deep space. Michele Gates, ARM program director, is on the NAC/HEO committee's schedule tomorrow (Wednesday) to give a briefing on in-space power and propulsion.
Concern has been expressed over the low launch rate for SLS for fear that launch teams will lose their proficiency. A launch rate of, at most, one per year has been projected. Today, however, Free said that the latest plan is for one crewed SLS/Orion launch per year beginning in 2023 plus one cargo SLS launch per year beginning in 2027, which would increase the cadence to two per year in support of the human spaceflight program. Some SLS supporters believe that additional uses of SLS will materialize, such as for science missions, that could further increase the launch rate, although the cost per launch is not yet known.

MINNEAPOLIS —
Workers renovating the old Dayton's department store in downtown Minneapolis have discovered a mystery: the mummified remains of a monkey.
Crews found the carcass last week in an air duct on the seventh floor of the century-old building.

Depending on the type of humor you are into, I would suggest Workaholics, The League, and Raising Hope. An older series I like is Malcolm in the Middle. I've never been big on comedies by CBS, but How I Met Your Mother is entertaining if only to experience Neil Patrick Harris and his wacky humor.
(Not a joke)

I second Malcolm in the Middle.
One of my favorites is Fraiser. For nostalgia, I really liked The Drew Carey Show.

Round out the NBC sitcoms with 30 Rock if you haven't already. Jack Donaghy's almost as good as Ron Swanson.
NewsRadio was great but it's a tough rewatch for me ever since I found out about the whole Jon Lovitz attacking Andy Dick thing.

This. I'm going through them again on Netflix right now, hit season 4 last night. Also not really a sitcom and animated but Archer which plays on FX right after Always Sunny. So fantastic.

Why would you do that to some--oh, wait, he's already watched The Office (US). Nevermind. He'll probably like that show.

Lovitz is only in the final season, which isn't that great. The only reason to watch Season 5 is for the Johnny Johnson episodes.
Oh, I like Lovitz. The Critic was awesome. It's more about Andy Dick.
From his Wikipedia page
On July 17, 2007, at the Laugh Factory comedy club in Los Angeles, Dick was in an altercation with his former NewsRadio co-star Jon Lovitz, who claimed that, a year earlier, Dick had approached Lovitz at a restaurant and said, "I put the Phil Hartman hex on you; you're the next one to die," and demanded an apology from Dick. Lovitz has accused Dick of re-introducing Hartman's wife (Brynn Omdahl) to cocaine, who had a relapse, killed Hartman while he slept in his Encino, California home, and then shot herself.[49] When Lovitz joined the cast of NewsRadio as Hartman's replacement in its fifth and final season, he told Dick: "I wouldn't be here now if you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine."

I've never been big on comedies by CBS, but How I Met Your Mother is entertaining if only to experience Neil Patrick Harris and his wacky humor.
Seconded. Really great advancement of the traditional sitcom. Jason Segel is excellent as well. I was surprised how much I got invested in this show.
Also not really a sitcom and animated but Archer which plays on FX right after Always Sunny. So fantastic.
Also seconded. Freakin' hilarious.
I don't really know what the uk has gotten or not, but I'd also recommend: Arrested Development, Scrubs and Bob's Burgers.

Surprised no one mentioned How I Met Your Mother. Which except for three episodes (one of which was the series finally) was a really good run. Last season being really amazing 95% percent of the way through, again save the very episode which was confusing

This recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies is SO EASY. It's only THREE ingredients. I've made a few variations but this one is the family's favorite.
I adore all things pumpkin flavored and I was skeptical that my kids would like these because they are so ridiculously picky. Lovable brats.
These cookies are so easy they are perfect if you have guests that stop by and you want something sweet in a hurry.
Or if you just want something sweet in a hurry for you. While the kids are still at school.
All you need is 1 can of pumpkin puree (14-15 oz), a box of spice cake mix (although you can use any flavor you like), and 1 cup of chocolate chips…..or the whole bag….that works too. Or if you don't want to use the whole bag in the cookies you can just eat the rest of the bag while you wait for the cookies to bake.
Never mind, don't listen to me.
ANYway, these cookies do not last very long in my house. And even when there are some left over at bedtime, they are mysteriously gone when I get up in the morning. HMMM.
Do you love pumpkin flavored treats or do you roll your eyes when "Pumpkin Spice Season" rolls around? Tell me in the comments below ↓.

Two best worlds collide using chocolate and pumpkin in a special treat for the fall. Loving this so much will bake a batch next week.

I am a pumpkin fanatic, yet I still have to try the pumpkin/chocolate combination. This looks like the perfect place to start….and my grandson LOVE pumpkin too. I think we need to bake some cookies together this weekend.
These would be perfect!! They are SO easy and SO good!
Pamela's has a new gluten free spice cake mix now and I think I need to buy a bag to try this recipe!
