In 2015, an estimated 11 million enrollees were adults newly eligible for Medicaid beneath the ACA expansion and this number has likely grown as enrollment has continued to rise and additional states have expanded Medicaid.

Here's the thing although and I wholeheartedly consider this. When you realize your fears AND acknowledge them, you might be halfway to defeating them. By recognizing them and dealing with them head on, we will slowly start to master them. For me, in addition to remedy, meditation and yoga has been useful. Meditation as a result of it allows me to clear my head, as much as possible, of the constant stream of racing ideas and worries I typically have. Yoga as a result of it helps me achieve some management of my physique, respiration, and thoughts. Yoga, reveals me what my body is able to and due to this fact lessens the worry of my own physique.

OpenCart PayPal Standard Error after March 31st 2017 Update
PayPal did an update on 31/03/2017 that has broken a lot of checkouts with customers seeing a message like:
"Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later."
Apparently PayPal sent round an email about this a couple of months before the update was due, but despite this applying to me, I didn't receive one and many of our clients didn't receive one. After discussing with PayPal by phone, they did send me the email and here it is below:
Most integrations work with this new PayPal checkout automatically. However, some integrations have issues that cause the user experience to fail. Some of the most common reasons for failed validation checks are:
Passing currency symbols ("$", "£", etc.) or values other than integers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and decimal points (".") in the amount field. For example, "1234.50" is correct, but "$1,234.50" isn't allowed.
Passing country code values greater than two letters. For example, "FR" is correct, but "France" or "fr_FR" isn't allowed.
Passing more than 127 characters in the item number field. For example, don't use the item_number field for "Note to Buyer" information.
Passing more than 64 characters in the option fields (on0, on1, etc.).
Passing duplicate empty parameters.
Passing address_override=1 without passing an address.
This error may be occurring only for certain transactions. If you have many items for sale, only some of them may exceed character limitations or pass invalid values as part of the transactions. You may need to test all available options to identify which ones lead to an error message. Once you find the affected transactions, review the HTML Variables for PayPal Payments Standard to troubleshoot your integration.
The original author or web developer who created your page with PayPal checkout buttons may be the best person to investigate and resolve these problems. Please contact them if they're available.
If you use third-party shopping cart software, such as a hosted shopping cart or software that you installed on your web server, the developer of that software may need to correct a problem in their code. Contact your cart provider directly and have them review this guide.
For websites that use static HTML, examine your HTML directly to see if there are problems in the values being directed to PayPal. For example, in the following code, the value of the amount field is "$1,000.00," which contains invalid "," and "$" symbols. It should be updated to "1000.00."
For more complex websites, such as those that use JavaScript or server-side software before redirecting the customer to PayPal, you may need to log the variables sent to PayPal. You can do this in your own code, or you can try using a browser tool, such as Google Chrome. Here's how:
Go to Developer Tools > Network, clear the log, and enable the Preserve Log option.
Click a page action that would redirect a customer from your site to PayPal.com. If this opens a second window, you may need to enable Preserve Log in that window and then go back and redo the same page action in the original window.
Once you have a list of events, look for the first event named webscr, select it, then check the section titled Form Data.
Note: For more help resolving this issue, visit our Merchant Integration Technical Support Community.
As an example, on one of our client sites, one of the issues was option values were longer than the 64 charactes described above.
Are you having the same issue? Do you know of an update to the gateway for older versions of OpenCart that might help some users? Please comment below!

Republicans reject Whitmer environmental order in rare move
Jonathan Oosting
Lansing — Michigan's Republican-led Senate flexed its political muscle Thursday and voted to overturn Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive order overhauling the state environmental department, finalizing the first rejection of its kind since 1977.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey said Whitmer's order went "a step too far" by eliminating business-friendly panels the Legislature created last year to oversee environmental rules and permit applications.
The Clarklake Republican invited Whitmer to draft another executive order to reorganize the environmental department, which she is expected to do, but recommended the governor clarify what a GOP-controlled Senate panel called the "undefined conceptual idea of environmental justice" in the rejected version.
Democrats accused Republicans of interfering with Whitmer's efforts to focus environmental efforts around clean water following the Flint water crisis and the discovery of PFAS "forever chemicals" in communities across the state.
"They just voted to allow polluters a free pass and the citizens of Michigan took it on the chin," said Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint.
The Michigan Constitution gives the governor authority to reorganize state government, but it also gives the Legislature 60 days to reverse any executive order by majority vote. The House last week adopted a resolution to overturn the order, which the Senate completed Thursday in a 22-16 party-line vote.
"It is the position of this Legislature that (the environmental rules and permit review panels) created by legislation ought not to be abolished by executive decree," the resolution reads.
The rare rejection came amid the first partisan power struggle between Whitmer and the Legislature following weeks of bipartisan platitudes at the onset of a new era of divided government. Democrats won election to stop statewide seats in November, but the GOP retained control of the state House and Senate.
Whitmer could have withdrawn her order to avoid rejection, as past governors have done, but instead forced Republicans to vote it down. She is expected to sign a new version soon.
"It's disappointing to see the party of limited government vote for more government bureaucracy, but the governor remains undeterred," said spokeswoman Tiffany Brown. "She is committed to reorganizing this department so we can clean up our drinking water and protect public health."
Policing 'overzealous bureaucrats'
While Whitmer has argued the review panels will hurt the state's ability to respond to environmental crisis, Shirkey said Republicans who created the panels want to "protect Michiganders from overzealous bureaucrats" within the environmental department.
The governor last week asked Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel for an official legal opinion on whether the rule and permit review panels conflict with requirements of the federal Clean Air and Clean Water acts. They appear to be operating on "thin legal ice," Whitmer said at the time.
The panels include officials from industries like oil and gas, business advocacy and environmental groups. They have the authority to delay environmental rules that could burden businesses or overturn state permit application decisions.
Republicans argue the panels will help average citizens or community groups denied permits by overzealous environmental regulators. They are "important for the protections of transparency, accountability and giving citizens access for redress," Shirkey said.
But Democrats and environmental groups contend the panels will give regulated industries and paid consultants a new avenue to block rules or permits that could hurt their bottom line.
"I think the sticking point is that my conservative colleagues want the polluters to have a veto over rules and permits," said Sen. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor, who voted against the resolution in committee.
Whitmer has said she wants businesses to have a voice in stakeholder discussions, just like other residents, but Republicans "want the polluters to ultimately be able to control the rules and permits," Irwin said.
The review panels have not yet had the chance to get off the ground, and it's not yet clear if they could "make the department better, if they help the department not make mistakes like we saw with Flint," said Senate Oversight Committee Chairman Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan. "Let's let these laws have a chance to work."
Republicans also noted the term "environmental justice" is not defined in Whitmer's environmental order, which would create an inter-agency environmental justice response team to advise state departments and agencies. It would also create a new environmental justice advocate position to field citizen complaints.
"If it's not in law, it is extremely subjective," said Sen. Lana Theis, R-Brighton. "A subjective interpretation means that it completely depends on who is at the helm as to who that's going to be meted out moving forward."
In a letter to Shirkey detailing findings of his oversight committee, McBroom said Whitmer's order would create new mandates to "aggressively advance the undefined conceptual idea" of environmental justice.
"It is inherently antithetical to republican government and its democratic processes to allow an agency with police powers to function under such a broad mandate with no statutorily defined parameters," he wrote.
"Polluters panels"
Former Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, used an executive directive to create an environmental justice work group in response to the Flint water contamination crisis. Unlike orders, the Legislature does not have the authority to review directives.
Irwin defended Whitmer's focus on environmental justice, saying it is "about standing up for the little guy."
"Environmental injustice is the process whereby people without the financial resources, people without political power and connections, are the ones who are on the losing ends of these pollution permitting decisions on such a regular basis that we have our largest community in the state, the city of Detroit, with a huge childhood asthma problem."
Whitmer chastised House Republicans after last week's vote, arguing they "voted against clean drinking water." Scientists should make environmental decisions, not corporations, she said on a weekend radio show, suggesting GOP lawmakers were "taking their marching orders" from the Michigan Chamber of Commerce.
Her comments rankled Republicans, who wrote language into the resolution stating that the Legislature "remains committed to and joins the governor in ensuring the health and safety of Michigan's citizens and families with an environment that is clean, energy needs that are met, and drinking water that is safe."
The panels were created in response to concerns from local citizens and communities, McBroom said.
The Senate panel heard testimony on "permits that were denied for a community to have a fishing tournament that they've been having for 27 years, permits that are being denied to farmers who've been plowing a field for years," he said.
In his letter to Shirkey, McBroom said abolishing the oversight committees would be a "objectional step backward, especially for property owners, farmers and businesses large and small who have experienced an unclear and often unreasonable permitting or regulatory process, sometimes with a predetermined outcome."
But Democrats argued Republicans were defending "polluter panels" that give regulated industries an out-sized voice in development of rules they must abide by. Whitmer's order would have cut out bureaucracy to help the state more quickly respond to environmental crises, said Sen. Mallory McMorrow, D-Royal Oak.
"We have a trust issue in Michigan," McMorrow said, referring to state government. Members of the public and business community "want us to be more nimble, more responsive and more transparent about our processes... not create extra layers of government, not create bloated government."
Shirkey noted that in 2002, then-Rep. Whitmer co-sponsored a measure that would have created a 7-member commission to oversee the department.
"Like our caucus, the governor saw the value in creating oversight of bureaucracy, especially when decisions made by that bureaucracy have a lasting impact on the lives and property of many Michiganders," he said.
Whitmer did not mention the dispute in Tuesday night's State of the State address, but she did tout her reorganization plan as a way to "bring sharper focus to addressing Michigan's water safety and environmental challenges."
The executive order created the new Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy. The "streamlined" department would focus on clean drinking water, safeguarding the Great Lakes and actions to "protect our state from the harmful effects of climate change," Whitmer said.

I am one of the few (or many) who love having leftovers! To save time, I typically try to make extra so the meal can be enjoyed the next day OR so that I can use the ingredients for another dish.
Two evenings ago, I made my delicious taco meat and made sure to make a little extra. Since then, I have been able to enjoy it with multiple meals, including my breakfast this morning! I also had a partial red bell pepper, chopped garlic, jalapenos, and vegan parmesan cheese left over from other previous meals.
The nice thing about eggs is that you can add them to almost anything, and you've got a fantastic scramble for breakfast! For probably 10 years, I have had the tendency of taking pictures of my food. Sometimes, I like to scroll for ideas and recently noticed how many simple scrambles I had shot. It left me wondering if I could even utilize them for this blog because they were just so simple! But, I do think it's useful to point out, they were all beautiful dishes that I thoroughly enjoyed and they were made by just grabbing what I had in the fridge and adding eggs!
* Please note: this meal was made with what I had from left over dishes, which you can easily recreate even if you don't have these items already prepared in your fridge. Any vegetable or ingredient can be replaced, added, or eliminated! But as is, this particular dish was delicious.
-1 handful of chopped fresh kale.
-1/2 red bell pepper, chopped.
-A little bit of fresh jalapeno, chopped.
-Cooked ground grass-fed beef, that had been seasoned with my fajita seasoning, (ingredients available in Mexican spaghetti post). How much is your preference! I used approx. 1/4 cup.
*If you don't have cooked ground beef or an alternative in your fridge, be sure to brown the meat in the pan first, before you add the vegetables.
-Add ghee to pan and let melt on medium heat.
-Add garlic and onion to pan, cook on medium-high heat for a minute or so.
-Add all vegetables and meat and cook for 4 minutes.
-Then, add eggs and scramble!
-I topped it with vegan parmesan cheese (recipe listed in my previous zucchini pasta post) but you can obviously simply season it with sea salt and pepper.
Here are other examples of dishes I made and the fabulous meal I got to enjoy the day after. ..
Steamed shrimp and veggies with potatoes and avocado. The next morning for my scramble, I used the potatoes, avocado, and leftover veggies from the night before and added eggs and fresh spinach for a completely different and equally satisfying meal!
Sauteed zucchini and onion with smoked salmon on fresh spinach with cauliflower dill soup. The next morning, I added eggs to the sauteed veggies and smoked salmon for a delicious morning meal!
Cinnamon Sandies with ONE Secret Ingredient!
Yesterday, like many days, I was wanting something sweet to eat. Recently, I've read about dessert recipes that were made with beans. I was thinking the same thing you're probably thinking right now! Beans? Yes, beans! I am open to giving anything a shot because I have been pleasantly surprised time and time again so, after reading through various recipes, I decided to give it a shot, Body Ecology style! I had to try a few different varieties to see if my omits and replacements would work. The second batch was the winner and it was really very simple! This protein-packed treat is a great item to make as a grab and go breakfast, dessert, or snack!
Quick note: if you're unfamiliar with Lakanto- an all natural sweetener that I use in mostly all of my sweet recipes, definitely give it a shot! It is great for people who suffer from candida, diabetes, or weight problems because it has zero calories and zero glycemic index. It is comparable to stevia but is much easier to bake with because it converts equally with sugar when you're substituting ingredients. It comes in a brown and white form. The brown actually tastes similar to brown sugar, so I prefer it over the white for a lot of my baked goods.
-1 1/2 cups chickpeas/garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained.
-3 heaping tablespoons of chopped almonds, or 3 tablespoons of sugar free almond butter, or nut butter.
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract, preferably alcohol free if you're suffering from candida.
-2/4 cup + 1-2 tablespoons Lakanto (or 3/4 cup of coconut sugar if you don't have a candida issues).
-1 tablespoon ground chia seeds, or if you prefer more texture, whole chia seeds.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients in a food processor until mixture is smooth. Place batter into an 8" x 8" pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-32 minutes. For a thicker blondie, use a smaller pan and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes. Store in the fridge.
Voila! You can also add additional chopped nuts for extra, extra protein and texture. My serving suggestion: enjoy this sweet treat with a warm cup of chai tea!

Young vandals wreck fence
Vandals have wrecked a fence in a Rugby suburb three months after police promised to crack down on anti-social behaviour in the area.
The two-metre high fence, which borders a steep embankment in Jenkins Road, Rugby, was damaged the weekend. Rugby borough councillor Bill Sewell (Con, Hillmorton), who reported the crime to police, said residents in the road also told him how children throwing stones broke their windows.
The damage comes less than three months after Rugby chief inspector Mak Chishty promised at a public meeting in Hillmorton to tackle the problem.
Residents described how children as young as 10 were terrorising the area.
Cllr Bill Sewell said he would hold another public meeting with police in June.
He said: "After the meeting the problem got better but now it seems to be getting worse again.
No-one from Warwickshire Police was available to comment.

Q: Compile old C++ unix application for using in windows I need to have a windows executable for some code which was written in 1994 for UNIX. I tried to do this from cygwin environment. The C++ standard was changed from this time and the standard libraries too.
I tried to use -std= and -traditional-cpp options, but that options didn't helped me at all. I also found that -fno-for-scope and -fno-operator-names reduced number of errors. Also input/output libraries was changed significantly from that time. I also think that there is some possibility that predefined (by preprocessor) macroses is changed from that time too.
Author's notes on the code:
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/hoppe/code.htm

A: The C code in library (library/linpack and library/recipes) compiles fine using:
gcc -c *.c

The C++ code is more problematic.  There are headers in ../include and they require -DANSI to yield function prototypes.  They are not declared extern "C" in the headers; they are included correctly in the headers in the C++ source dir:
extern "C" {
#include "linpack.h"
}

So, compiling A3dStream.C, I get:

Other files yield similar sets of errors.
I'm using GCC 3.4.4 on Cygwin under Windows XP.
I'm not a C++ guru - though I do my fair share of software archaeology - but it looks to me like you are going to need to update the code to use C++ standard headers because strstream.h in particular is missing (so, nominally, use <strstream> instead), and that means you'll have to deal with the std namespace and the like.  This code pre-dates the standard by 5 years, so it is not unreasonable to have to hack it hard to bring it up to date.
Good luck!

A: I can think of two possibilities:  AT&T offers both UWIN (which may be different enough from Cygwin to avoid the same trouble) and the source for old versions of CFront (which is probably the original compiler used).
Well, there's a third possibility, and I think it's the recommended action:  edit the source and bring it up to date to the standard.  If you intend to do any further development on this code, it's best to bite the bullet sooner rather than later.

A: You can still download the source for gcc 2.7.0 from the GNU web site.

On Saints Island, five minutes from the village, there is an ancient graveyard with many plaques commemorating the dead that lie here. The ruins of Elseet castle, which overlooks Lough Rea, is apparently near the site of the death of Queen Medhbh.
Barley harbour has boating and fishing facilities.
Newtowncashel probably acquired its name from the Irish word caiseal, which means stone fort. This usually indicates that there was once a stone fort in the area and in the case of Cashel this is almost certainly true. The remains of an ancient stone fort are still visible in the locality. The advent of Christianity brought to the area an increased historic significance with the founding of a monastic settlement on what was to become known as "The Island of the Seven Churches". St. Diarmuid, the patron saint of Cashel, built the monastery around the period 540 A.D. On the island of Inisceleraun in the Shannon. It is believed that the "Island of the Seven Churches" was so named because, between the time of its founding to the date of it's closing in 16th century, there were seven churches built there.
The Island of Inisceleraun has also been mentioned in Irish mythology as having quite a significant role. According to myth it is named after Clothra, the legendary Queen of Connacht. The Island is also the supposed death place of Clothra's sister Meabh. The story goes that in her twilight years Meabh retired from her lengthy career of war and conflict to the solitude of this little Island. Apparently, she sat in the same spot every evening to watch the sun set, however one of her enemies, Furbuidhe, used this against her and killed Meabh with a slingshot from across the Shannon.
Newtowncashel was also the location of another monastery. Built by St. Kieran, sometime in the 4th or 5th century, this monastic settlement lent itself to the site being called "Saint's Island". The remains of this monastery can still be seen to this day.
After the Monks were forced to leave the Island of the Seven Churches by order of the king of England they then built what was then known as Cashel church on the banks of the River Shannon. Cashel church was built in the 16th century. The ruins of the original church can still be seen in the centre of the old graveyard.
Many fine examples of virgin and cutaway bogs are to be found throughout the parish. Here you will find the curlew, snipe, skylark and herons in quiet meditation beside small water pools. The otter, fox and hares make their homes here. In mid-summer the bogs are a blaze of colour with cotton, orchids, ragged robin, cranberries, pitcher plant and mosses.
This state forest of pine and spruce is on the highest hill in the parish. Along its edge is to be found the mass pathway once used by the people of Elfeet and Cashel to go to and from Mass. Larger than Culnagore Wood, this wood also hugs the shore of Lough Ree and provides a wonderful place for long walks or leisurely strolls. Culnagore Wood (Wood of the Oak) is an ancient woodland and covers an area of 90 acres along the edge of Lough Ree. It contains many fine species of woodland flowers and at the northern end there is a colony of garden warblers, a small secretive bird rarely found or seen in Ireland. The wood is the perfect place for ramblers and walkers who can enjoy its peace and tranquillity.
This area is commonage covering approximately 200 acres of pasture and scrubland. It boasts easy walking routes which were formed by the movements of horses and sheep and affords the visitor magnificent views of Lough Ree. A wonderful array of bluebells is to be found here in spring in the Hazel Woods. Two well-preserved ring forts will interest the antiquarian.
Four groups of islands are part of the parish of Cashel: the Black Islands; Clawinch, Priests' Island and Inis Clothrann (or Quaker). The largest and most historic island on the River Shannon is Inis Clothrann. The name Clothra was the name of Queen Maeve's sister and two landmarks on the island are Grianan Meidhbhe and Innod Marfe Meidhbhe. St Diarmuid founded a monastery on this island about the year 540 AD and the well-preserved ruins are to be seen in the area known as 'The Moat'. On Saint's Island can been seen the ruins of an Augustinian Saints Island: A lovely place for fishing and walking, where you will find the sixth century ruins of St Kierans Augustinian Abbey (St. Kieran was the first bishop of Clonmacnoise). This Monastery has survived up to the time of the suppression of the monasteries in the reign of Henry the VIII. Its most famous son was Augustine McGradion who compiled the Annals of All Saints here in the 15th century. This historic island can now be approached by a causeway.
Barley Harbour, a fine cut-stone harbour, offers safe mooring for boats along this lakeshore. The harbour also boasts a slipway for launching boats and has benches and lovely grassy areas for picnics, making it a perfect location for boating and swimming. Barley Harbour is a place where locals come to play, fish and engage in watersports. Sometimes pleasure trips are being organised (see local papers for details). Also, very close by is the workshop and studio of famous sculptor, Michael Casey, who creates sculptures in Bog Wood, many examples of which can be seen throughout the village.
Five castles are recorded in the parish of Cashel Elfeet, Caltramore, Corool, Portanure and the castle of Baile Nui (Newtown). The ruins of Elfeet Castle can still be seen. George Calvert the owner of a small 15th century tower house became Governor of Maryland, USA and founder of the city of Baltimore. Tradition has it that it was from this castle that Forby flung the stone that killed Queen Maeve on Inis Clothrann Island. There are still some remains to be seen of Corool and Portanure Castles.
Lady Well is situated in the townland of Derrydarragh. It is still visited by some people between the two Lady Days of the 15th of August and the 8th of September. No one knows how far back the pilgrimage to Our Lady's Well goes but up to 1887 the 9th of September was a Holy Day of obligation in the parish of Cashel and a famous Pattern Day was frequented by people from near and far. During the dark days of the Penal Times the good people of Cashel had neither church nor chapel, but were compelled to assemble for worship under the broad dome of heaven. It is no accident that one of the mass rocks is situated very close to Lady Well, where it can still be seen in Derrydarragh. At the other end of the parish in Derryhaun there is another Mass Rock close to the edge of the bog.

In February a hunger-strike was staged in Camp 17 of the Mordovian camps (Mordovian ASSR, Potma, Ozerny post office, postbox 385/17a). The following six persons took part: Yuly Daniel, Boris Zdorovets, Victor Kalnins, Sergei Moshkov, Valery Ronkin and Yury Shukhevych. Between the eighth and the tenth days artificial feeding was imposed on the strikers. After ten days the strike was called off.
As a result several demands of the political prisoners were met: the administration now has no right to forbid meetings with relatives without the Procurator's approval; moreover, the Procurator's approval will also be required in future for the confiscation of personal papers and such actions must always be recorded in a legal document.
It should be borne in mind that, in the past, not only were whatever demands made by strikers not met. Frequently the mere fact of going on a hunger-strike was regarded as a 'breach of the regulations' and could serve as grounds for a spell in solitary confinement, the camp prison [BUR] or in Vladimir Prison.
It was recently suggested to Andrei Sinyavsky (Mordovian ASSR, Potma, Yavas post office, postbox 385-11) that he should petition for a pardon [see 2.8]. Sinyavsky refused.
In February 1968 the former political prisoner Leonid Rendel (Article 58-10, case of Krasnopevtsev and others, essence of the case —'illegal Marxist circle', term ten years, served whole sentence in the Mordovian camps, released 30 August 1967), at present residing in the village of Novo-Melkovo, Kalinin Region [Tver, Central Russia], was placed under administrative surveillance.
The reason for this action was a recommendation by the camp administration that he be put under surveillance 'for repeated breaches of camp regulations and for maintaining his anti-Soviet convictions' (the breaches took the form of protests against the arbitrary actions of the camp authorities). The surveillance was imposed for six months [CCE 4.7, item 8] and may be extended for up to three years. Under the surveillance order he is forbidden to leave the village without police permission (when he applied for permission it was refused) and he is obliged to report twice a month to the local police station.


From 18th to 24th of September Barcelona holds the annual festival of Barcelona city "Festes de la Mercè", where culture and entertainment take protagonism during almost a week. At these parties the commitment of the entities is very important, which gives a character a hundred percent popular. During this week public spaces are filled with activities and an assorted programming suitable for all, such as parades, concerts, street art and different traditional activities. It is, definitively, a summary of the most traditional and popular activities of Catalonia.
For foreigners who have the chance to visit Barcelona those days is the best opportunity to meet the roots of our culture. Giants, traditional dances, and many more activities are an example of a traditional culture in a cosmopolitan city, reference in all Europe.
In spite of the fact that now the Festa Major is a pagan festivity with shows and parades of giants, its origin was Catholic – we already have documented processions of the Corpus in the XV and XVI centuries. It changed around 1902.
Barcelona pays tribute to the Virgin of Mercy after she appeared to the king Jaime I, San Pedro Nolasco and San Ramon of Penyafort and asked them to create an order of monks dedicated to save Christians imprisoned by the Saracens in the religious war t hat was taking place at that time. It was the September 24th of 1218.
It was not but until the s. XVII and after Barcelona suffered from a plague of locusts, when the people of Barcelona were entrusted to the Virgin of Mercy, and, at the end of the plague, the Council of the city named her as patron saint of Barcelona. Two centuries later, in 1687, the Pope Pius IX ratified the decision and Barcelona began to celebrate the holidays in September. It was from 1902, however, when Francesc Cambo enhanced the the Fiesta Mayor as we now nowadays.
Although this is the most extended version there is also another one about Santa Eulalia known as the previous patron saint of the city (from 633 to 1686): A thirteen years old girl, who was martyred and saint at the end of the III century. Curiously, every year during the week of the Feasts there is usually some rainy day. The legend says that these are Santa Eulalia's tears which cries by the oblivion of Barcelonians.

"I need to hear those blue notes."
—John Engels
"I was born the 13th of May 1935, in Groningen, the Netherlands. We were with thirteen kids, me being the eldest. I come from a musical family, those who played the drums were all self-taught. Because, you know, money was tight, so we couldn't afford costly lessons. My grandpa was the drummer in a Salvation Army Band. My father, John Engels senior, was a very distinguished drummer, I'd say one of the greatest, back in the thirties and later. Also his brother and two of mine brothers and my youngest sister, we all play the drums.
1955 John Engels Sr. and John Engels Jr.
Whenever there was a jazz concert my father took me along. The 1950 Duke Ellington concert, for instance and the Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts. At that time I wanted so bad to sit in and play with those cats. So I had to be good, so I practiced and practiced. Later, at the North Sea Jazz festival, I jumped at the opportunity to play with Hank Jones, amongst others.
In 1953 I went to the conservatory. There I had an intake meeting with my tutor-to-be Frans van der Kraan, a good friend of my father. "It's in the genes", he said, "but we have a problem. You're a left paw, here at the conservatory you're supposed to play right-handed." Meaning, the setup of the drum kit had to be the other way around to what I was used to. So I should have to start all over again. I went two times to the conservatory, the first time and the last time. My breakthrough came with Mary Lou Williams, and after that when Pia Beck gave me a chance.
"The chances Mary Lou Williams and Pia Beck gave me, spelled my breakthrough.
1978 Mary Lou Williams and John, united after 25 years.
This is the first step in a blazing career, taking him across the world and playing with the greatest. More than ten years he lays down a solid backbone to the "Diamond Five". During the late fifties and early sixties of the last century this was the best known and by far the best band in Holland.
"For a number of years we played the Sheherazade jazzclub in Amsterdam, a famous hotspot. The audience wanted to hear the newest stuff from America, the music of Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, you name it. We did it our way of course. Four years I played there each night. That meant four years of bread and peanut butter".
1964 Diamond Five
1990 John and Stan Getz
American musicians came to the club regularly, to jam with us. Members of the Quincy Jones big band attended most of the nights. I played with trumpeter Benny Bailey, saxophone player Phil Woods and Stan Getz, and all the other cats. To name a few more: Lee Konitz, Tom Harrell, Sal Nistico. I could go on and on. They filled you with inspiration, playing with these cats got you a real high. I recorded with Don Byas, Arnett Cobb, Teddy Edwards, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Farmer, Thad Jones, Tommy Flanagan, Monty Alexander, Slide Hampton, Kenny Drew, Johnny Griffin, Johnny Mandell,Charlie Rouse, Herb Geller, well, the list goes on and on.
1996 Birdwinners concert John with Toots Thielemans and Ray Brown
1966 John and the Boy Edgar's Big Band
In 1961 the Sheherazade goes bankrupt and has to close doors. John now joins the Louis van Dijk Trio.
"We had some really great times and made some amazing music. Did many recordings with the Americans too. Did so many other gigs on the side.
I played with Boy Edgar's Bigband, getting down to free jazz with Theo Loevendie, toured with the Mingus Dynasty across Europe, not to mention all the other groups and gigs. Exploring and experimenting, trying out, honing the art of playing the drums. Each and every day."
John Engels is and stays open minded. No matter what.

Microsoft .Net: security good, but not perfect
by Ben Rossi 9 February 2006
3 May 2002 Software giant Microsoft has emphasised the high security levels of its .Net web services platform, but according to one hacker and security consultant, there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
Speaking at the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver, Canada, H.D. Moore, a 'white hat' hacker and senior security analyst at Digital Defense, said that while .Net can almost eliminate some of the vulnerabilities that currently affect other Microsoft products, the server software can still be easily misconfigured.
Misconfiguration is especially easy, said Moore, as much of the Microsoft documentation actually teaches insecure programming. "It doesn't make a difference how secure products are initially, but how you program them that counts," said Moore. "And developers are being told the wrong things to do in a lot of situations."
Regarding ASP.Net, the web services part of the .Net framework, Moore found several vulnerabilities in some of the components of the framework. However, his main issue was with developer resources. His research showed that the five most popular ASP.Net books, for example, all neglected to mention at least one of a number of common .Net security problems.
Furthermore, Microsoft's IBuySpy, the main example for programmers looking to develop .Net web services applications, has a Unicode vulnerability that leaves two project files configured so that they are accessible to anyone on the Internet, said Moore. The Microsoft Developer Network documentation also tells developers to create a file containing users' passwords and to put it in a directory on the web — something that Moore strenuously advises against.
However, Moore's analysis of .Net did generally back-up Microsoft's claims that it is much more secure than the current web services infrastructure. "There are a lot more features to lock down web applications," he said.
The default configuration for a computer running .Net with Microsoft's web infrastructure and Internet Information Server (IIS) is more secure than before, but may break many services that the web server offers. Turning the services on in a secure manner may be a challenge, added Moore.
He advises that all developers take server configuration very seriously, as any changes to the default configuration could cause security vulnerabilities. "Research an option before making a change," says Moore.

However, there are over 12 million ecommerce website around the world and over 650.000 have active sales of over 1.000 US dollars every month. Truth is the ecommerce market is a trillion dollar market opportunity that's expected to grow with another 20% in 2016. It may seem like a lot to you, but the reality is that eCommerce spending only accounted for 6.6% of an incredible total spending of 24 Trillion US dollars in retail sales in 2015.
So ecommerce seems like the type of business you want to be running. But do you have what it takes to stand out from the other 12 million ecommerce websites, or at least get a seat in the 650.000 others with sales over one thousand dollars? Well, this is a lot up to you, the type of business you are running, and your marketing strategy.
But here are some helpful tips on how to avoid the worst SEO mistakes you could make. Optimizing your ecommerce website for search engines allows you to improve your search visibility, get in front of your customers and increase traffic. And all of that can only mean more sales and an increase in revenue.
1. Lack of product description will definitely not give your product pages a chance to appear in the top ten of a search engine query, even in the case of low-frequency keywords. It's true "a picture is worth a thousand words", but unfortunately search engines can't see images. So make sure you populate your product pages with quality, descriptive content that will help a user in his purchase decision. Don't copy content from other websites that sell the same or similar products to yours because search engines will not like that. Here is an example of a product page that is badly missing a description.
2. Using product descriptions from manufacturers is even worse than a complete lack of product description. Not to mention that it's completely impersonal and very unlikely to help you influence customers in their purchasing decision, but this will definitely get you banned from search engines because there's nothing else that they hate more than low-quality, unoriginal content. Remember that the same product description is also sent to other online stores, causing you to have the same content as who knows how many other websites. If you have too many products and it seems like an impossible job to write unique, quality descriptions for each of them then use the NO INDEX meta tag on those pages. This will keep them out of the search engines and help keep your SEO in good standing. Keep in mind Google has gotten pretty good at down-ranking websites because of duplicate or spammy content, and you don't want to be one of them.
3. Lack or product reviews is something you should really consider if you feel like your customers are slipping through your fingers. This will not only encourage your customers to buy based on positive reviews from others, but you will also be getting unique content for your online store, for free. It's also a known fact that review pages can reach the top of the search engines a lot faster than actual selling pages.
4. Not optimizing your product pages based on search keywords can also hurt your search engine visibility. If you're not writing title pages, headlines or product descriptions using keywords people actually search for, then you don't really have a chance to be found by clients looking to buy what you're selling.
5. Lack of user-friendly URLs can be a real problem for your SEO efforts. Customers have gotten used to seeing these types of URLs and a really long URL full of letters, numbers and other characters can actually make them trust it less because of its spammy appearance.
6. Remember to avoid as much as you can duplicate content on your product pages. We understand there may be certain sentences or sections you need to display on each product page, but use robots.txt to block any areas that create duplicate content or add nofollow attributes to links that point to areas of the site with duplicate content.

The OCC confirms special purpose national bank charters for fintech companies
Banking Alert
5 DEC 2016 By:
Jeffrey L. Hare
Christopher N. Steelman
Adam Dubin
In public remarks at the Georgetown University Law Center on December 2, 2016, the Comptroller of the Currency, Thomas J. Curry, announced that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) will move forward special purpose national bank charter applications from financial technology (fintech) companies that offer at least one of three core banking activities:
Receiving deposits
Paying checks or
Lending money.
In coordination with this announcement, the OCC issued a white paper summarizing the agency's authority to grant special purpose national bank charters to fintech companies and the conditions under which it may do so. The summary makes clear that if the OCC decides to grant a national charter to a fintech company, that company will be held to the same standards of safety and soundness, fair access, and fair treatment of customers that all federally chartered institutions must meet.
The OCC is seeking feedback from the public on a number of questions listed on the last two pages of the white paper, specifically on the types of activities and expectations the OCC should require for entities seeking a special purpose national bank charter.
During the course of his announcement, Comptroller Curry explained that the OCC's decision to move forward and make special purpose national charters available to fintech companies was motivated by three primary factors:
(1) Fintech charters are in the public's interest. Comptroller Curry stated that fintech companies hold great potential to expand financial inclusion, empower consumers, and help families and businesses take more control of their financial matters. While not without some risks, fintech companies can also potentially deliver these products and services in a safer and more efficient manner. The OCC believes that responsible innovation is good for everyone.
(2) Fintech charters offer innovators a valuable choice. The charters provide an option within the federal banking system for fintech firms to facilitate adaptation and evolution in the banking business and promote economic growth. The OCC believes that fintech companies offering banking products and services should have the choice to become national banks, seek state bank charters where available, or continue operating outside the banking system through other state and federally regulated means. This decision should be driven by a company's business model and potential efficiencies afforded by each option. Today, traditional banks can seek federal or state charters, which is essential to the dual banking system. By providing a national charter to fintech companies, the OCC is promoting responsible economic growth and meeting the needs of an evolving and diverse banking community, all while maintaining relevance and utility of the federal banking system for fintech firms.
(3) Fintech charters retain institutional and consumer regulatory protections. Regulation improves the chances of institutional success and customer protection, and by offering national charters to fintech companies the OCC hopes to create a clear process, criteria, and standards to ensure that risks are identified and assessed and that the companies that receive charters have a reasonable chance of success. Appropriate risk management, effective consumer protection, and strong capital and liquidity will be closely assessed and monitored by the OCC.
The OCC will be developing and implementing a formal agency policy for evaluating special purpose national bank charters for fintech companies. The policy, which will be informed by comments received on its white paper, will articulate specific criteria for approvals, as well as issues that will be considered and conditions that should be met before a charter is granted. Comptroller Curry emphasized the importance of transparency in the application process, stating the OCC will consider the following, prior to approving any application:
Safety and soundness
Consumer protection and
Community reinvestment.
He also made clear that institutions who receive a special charter will be examined regularly and held to the standards that the OCC has established for all federally chartered institutions.
Comptroller Curry recognized that concerns have already been expressed, and placed those concerns into two categories:
Consumer protection and financial inclusion and
Regulatory fairness and supervisory rigor.
With respect to the first, Comptroller Curry used the example of the Community Reinvestment Act, which applies only to deposit-taking institutions insured by the FDIC and not to thousands of fintech companies that provide bank-like services. He noted that the OCC has the unique ability to impose such requirements through the chartering process by requiring companies to support financial inclusion in meaningful ways. Comptroller Curry also said he understood the worries about state law application to national banks, but stated that this concern is not exacerbated by granting special purpose charters. The OCC's position is that state laws aimed at unfair or deceptive treatment of customers also apply to national banks.
In response to concerns about regulatory fairness and supervisory rigor, Comptroller Curry noted that fintech companies who currently operate under a patchwork of supervision compete with national and state banks. By granting charters to these companies, he asserted that it will level the playing field because the regulatory framework for special purpose national banks (e.g., legal lending limits) will be consistent.
In an earlier release by the OCC, the agency reiterated its authority to resolve uninsured national banks through means outside the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. It is expected that, in some cases, fintech charters may not be insured by the FDIC if their business plan does not call for acceptance of deposits. This is a meaningful fact because it could impact the application of the Bank Holding Company Act (the BHC Act) to owners and investors in fintech charters – thereby potentially imposing "source of strength" requirements on these investors and limiting their activities to those that are financial in nature or closely related to banking. Such activity limitations would be inconsistent with many innovators in the fintech space, so the application of the BHC Act will undoubtedly be of primary interest going forward. To this point, the white paper simply notes that the BHC Act "could apply." Those interested in pursuing a fintech charter should be cognizant of how their business plan and operations impact the need for deposit insurance and the application of the BHC Act.
Written comments on the white paper are to be provided by email to [email protected] by January 15, 2017.

The Hemingwrite is a distraction-free writing tool. It combines the simplicity of a typewriter with all of the modern conveniences of living in 2014: cloud documents, e-paper display, and full-size mechanical keyboard.
On the surface that sounds pretty cool, right? As a writer I am down with dedicated writing tools and tools that cut down on distractions. But I'm not down with the Hemingwrite.
Why? My objections start with the price, end with the functionality, and somewhere in the middle I get really hung up on the pretentiousness of it all.
The Hemingwrite is supposed to be a simple tool. Text documents, a small ePaper display, an aluminum and plastic typewriter-like body, and Wi-Fi. So far that's fine. But at retail it's supposed to cost $500. That's the price of a netbooky tablet and more expensive than a Chromebook. Why does it cost so much?
I know part of it is because the company making this is small, and thus it's hard to get parts and manufacture in numbers that make it possible to get bulk pricing. Still though, this seems like a pretty simple machine for that amount of money.
I know I think this because it's impossible for me to look at the Hemingwrite without thinking of the various AlphaSmart models. That's because the Hemingwrite is basically an AlphaSmart Dana or Neo with less functionality, more weight/bulk, and a hipster-cool name. Seriously. Even the AlphaSmart 3000 has more file slots (8 or 16 as opposed to 3) and weighs 2 pounds or less. Most AlphaSmarts didn't have Wi-Fi, but some did. And all of them managed to cost less than $500–many were under $200.
And the design, while cute, makes the Hemingwrite bulkier than it needs to be, from what I can tell. Perhaps I'll think differently when I get to try the keyboard, but the AlphaSmart keyboards were very nice, tactile-wise. They didn't look like old school typewriters. They did have freaking arrow keys.
Yes, the Hemingwrite lacks arrow keys.
There's old school, there's distraction free, and then there's limiting functionality for hipster cred.
There are some things I like about this product. The display is tall instead of wide, which I prefer, and shows more text at a time than the original AlphaSmart design. I like that it will continuously upload your files to a cloud service so you don't have to physically connect it to a computer to get the text off of it. The typewriter shape is kind of cute, despite my snark about it.
I can't deal with the weight and expense, though.
Currently, the Hemingwrite is fully funded and then some and scheduled to come out in the fall of 2015. If it turns out to be a hit or even a moderate success, I hope it inspires the company that used to make the AlphaSmart to reboot the line. Or maybe some enterprising entrepreneur will crowdfund the money to buy the patents for the technology, give it a bit of an update, and bring the AlphaSmart back into the world under another name.
After all, old AlphaSmarts still sell pretty well on Amazon and eBay. You can find the 3000 model, the Dana, and the Neo in good condition. Hell, I recently gave my original model away to a friend only because I no longer have a computer with a PS/2 port. It still worked just fine even after gathering dust on a shelf for years.
I'd be willing to invest in a used AlphaSmart before I backed the Hemingwrite the way it is now. But everything that survives evolves, and maybe version 2 or 3 will catch my eye. Meantime, I'll keep my eye on this first model. Maybe I'll be surprised once it comes out.
I'm not a hipster, but I was totally gung-ho for the Hemingwrite… until I found out that there were no arrow keys. That's ridiculous. Many people (myself included) do not think linearly when writing. And for such people, the lack of arrow keys makes the Hemingwrite completely useless as a writing tool. I was funding it, but decided to buy an electric typewriter instead when they announced the lack of arrow functionality. Saved myself $400 in the process too.
Electric typewriters do indeed have an appeal! I'm just big into portability.
Interesting article! I've been hankering for a good typewriter for a long time, and while I was researching models on the web I ran across this "Hemingwrite" machine. Initially I was intrigued, but after I saw the price (gasp!) and noticed the absent arrow keys, I couldn't really understand the point of it. I'm buying a typewriter because I want the physical clunk of keys under my fingers, the weight of real paper in my hands. A digital model makes little sense to begin with, and the ridiculously limited functionality robs it of any redeeming features. As you say, this seems like a very "hipster" thing. ????
Completely with you on the points you've made about it being an Alphasmart with more cost/weight and less functionality.
I completed a Masters Degree on an Alphasmart Neo (mainly) with no problems. If you *just* need to write, this hipster doofus nonsense ain't gonna help.
And no arrows keys – suicide. Unless there is a way to use some other keys as arrow keys using a supersecretkeyconfiguration then it'll be a real pain to use. Having to use another machine to edit what you've written on the Hemingwrite will be a real pain.
And it weighs HOW MUCH!? I'm out – maybe v3.0 will have ironed out the massive wrinkles, but for now it's a nah.
I too was interested until I saw the price and the lack of arrow keys. I'm also not terribly fond of the fact that it uses only Markdown formatting. I'm sorry, but I'm used to hitting Ctrl+B to get bold, Ctrl+I to get italic, etc. I started out on a manual typewriter, but that doesn't mean I want to go back to limited editing capabilities.
The final nail in the coffin is that a Chromebook set to go directly to Writer.bighugelabs.com will have all the same capabilities as the Hemmingwrite. No, it won't have a mechanical keyboard, but that's something I can live without (and if I really want one, I can buy one and connected it to my Chromebook). It will upload to the cloud. It will be distraction-free writing. It will be free of the Windows/Mac prompts and updates. It will be secure. It will cost less than a Hemmingwrite.
If they were asking $100 for it, I'd consider it worth it. If they asked $150, I'd have to think about it. At $500 they can forget about it. I could buy a really nice old-school disk-based word processor for that, and have money left to buy a chai latte.
