On the fence about upgrading to a new AC system? In this blog, we're going to focus on the benefits of replacing your old air conditioner with a new model, professionally installed by the team at Bob's Heating & Air Conditioning. From greater reliability to improved energy-efficiency, there's a number of reasons to make the switch!
If your old air conditioner constantly needed repairs last summer, you need to think about whether or not that hassle, time, and money is worth it for this summer.
A new AC system is a big investment. However, if you're slowly bleeding money in repairs over the course of several summers, you may find that making the switch is less expensive than you might think.
Summers here in South Louisiana are hot and humid. We all know it. If your air conditioner is struggling to keep up with the cooling needs of your home, it's time to make the switch. After all, the only reason you have an HVAC system is for comfort; if your AC isn't getting it done, what is it doing for your home?
Bob's installs a variety of advanced AC units designed and manufactured by Carrier and Trane—two of the most-trusted names in indoor summer comfort. If comfort is your goal, we're the team to call.
If you're looking to make a common-sense investment in your home that boosts your home's value, consider a new air conditioner. Replacing your old, failing air conditioner with a new model not only puts additional value into your home, but also increases the curb appeal of your home if you decide to sell in the next decade.
Here's another way to think about it: very few buyers—after paying closing costs and their downpayment—are going to be enthusiastic about having to replace an air conditioner right after move-in. If their home inspection reveals that your AC system is on death's door, they'll probably make for the door.
More buyers, better offers, and a higher appraisal: these are just some of the probable secondary benefits of having Bob's replace your old air conditioner with a brand-new Carrier or Trane system.
As they age past the decade or two decade mark, air conditioners become less efficient because of the accumulated wear-and-tear. However, they're also falling behind for another reason: the air conditioners manufactured today are far more energy-efficient than those installed 20 years ago.
By switching to a new air conditioner, professionally installed by the team at Bob's, you'll not only get the efficiency that comes with a brand-new system, but you'll also benefit from the efficiency that comes with a system designed and manufactured in 2018.
Think about just how much use your air conditioner sees in the summers. Then, multiply that over the course of 20 summers. A new air conditioner can mean big energy savings for years to come. It's one of the best reasons to upgrade to a new AC system.
If you're ready to make the switch from your old air conditioner to a new AC system, give Bob's Heating & Air Conditioning a call (CONTACT US) to schedule your free in-home estimate on a new Carrier or Trane system. This estimate will allow us to take the measurements needed to match the right air conditioner to your home's cooling needs.

Children need to bring their P.E. kits in to school on Monday, and take them home on a Friday. Year groups will have P.E. on the following days but there may be extra sessions in the week so it is important that P.E. kits are in school all week.


In his letter published in last week's paper, Ron Makela offered a "proposal" to eliminate "the madness" of legal actions against county officials, who are sworn to uphold the Code of Virginia, the Code of Rappahannock County, and the Constitution.
Mr. Makela suggested that county officials "may have unintentionally not followed the letter of the law," and that costly legal actions have resulted from those unlawful omissions. I might point out that ignorance of the laws offers no excuses.
To add fuel to the issue, the recent court ruling last week (22nd January) against one of the Supervisors revealed that he had committed not one but FOUR additional infractions of the laws, as recently as just last month, at the December 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Unless I'm mistaken, it appears that the primary reason why our county officials are now making attempts to intentionally comply with the laws is because of the legal actions being brought by Rappahannock taxpayers to ensure that our county officials ARE understanding and complying with the laws.
A better solution, I would suggest to Mr. Makela and we county's taxpayers, is for the county officials to understand and comply with the laws every moment they are in office, and to carefully think about how they are doing the jobs they were elected or appointed to perform. The apparent ignorance of the laws, intentional or unintentional, is why the legal actions were filed in the first place.
To anyone considering taking an elected or appointed position in the Rappahannock County government, becoming well-versed in the Code of Virginia and the Code of Rappahannock ought to be a vital personal responsibility before making any serious efforts towards serving in public office.
Until and unless our county elected and appointed officials, now and in the future, take the necessary time to read, understand, and comply with the laws of the county and of the Commonwealth, the "madness" is, most assuredly, likely to continue.
Heeding the call for help . . .
With the exit of "judge" Parker from the court's bench, Rappahannock will continue on a path of legitimate government going forward.
Everyone advocating for adherence to the rule of law, for all three branches and at all levels, should give themselves a great big pat on the back for a job well done.

Justice Department Secures Settlements with 16 Employers for Posting Job Advertisements on College Recruiting Platforms That Discriminated Against Non-U.S. Citizens
The Department of Justice today announced that it signed settlement agreements requiring 16 private employers to pay a total of $832,944 in civil penalties to resolve claims that each company discriminated against non-U.S. citizens in hiring. According to the department, each company posted at least one job announcement excluding non-U.S. citizens on an online job recruitment platform operated by the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). One employer posted as many as 74 discriminatory advertisements on Georgia Tech's platform, while several of the employers posted discriminatory advertisements on other college or university platforms as well. The department determined that the advertisements deterred qualified students from applying for jobs because of their citizenship status, and in many cases the citizenship status restrictions also blocked students from applying or even meeting with company recruiters.
"Unlawful hiring discrimination based on citizenship or immigration status is a widespread problem across higher education in the United States, putting many jobs out of reach of qualified college students and recent graduates," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "The Civil Rights Division is committed to enforcing the law to ensure that students and job applicants — including lawful permanent residents, U.S. nationals, asylees and refugees — are protected from unlawful discrimination. We will hold employers accountable for using on-campus recruiting platforms in a discriminatory manner and work to provide relief for victims."
The department's involvement in these matters began after a lawful permanent resident filed a discrimination complaint with the Civil Rights Division's Immigrant and Employee Rights Section, alleging that a company advertised a U.S.-citizens only position on a Georgia Tech job recruitment platform. The department's investigation discovered a rash of other facially discriminatory advertisements on Georgia Tech's job recruiting platform as well as other platforms operated by colleges and universities across the United States. The department proceeded to open investigations of the employers with which it is settling, and continues investigations into additional employers.
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) generally prohibits employers and recruiters from limiting jobs based on citizenship or immigration status unless required by a law, regulation, executive order or government contract. The INA protects U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, refugees, asylees and recent lawful permanent residents from citizenship status discrimination in hiring, firing and recruitment or referral for a fee. Regardless of whether colleges or universities run afoul of the INA in the way they operate their job recruitment platforms, employers themselves are liable if the advertisements they post on those platforms violate the INA.
Under the terms of their individual settlement agreements with the department, the following 16 employers will pay civil penalties in varying amounts, depending, in part, on the number of discriminatory advertisements they posted:
PENALTY AMOUNT
Keyot LLC
Area-I, Inc.
Akuna Capital
American Express Company
Clarkston-Potomac Group
Toast, Inc.
Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Edward Jones Investments
KNAPP Inc.
SimpleNexus, LLC, f/k/a L Brewer and Associates, LLC, d/b/a LBA Ware
The Royster Group, Inc.
In addition to paying the civil penalties, the 16 employers must also require their recruiting staff to undergo training on their obligations under the INA's anti-discrimination provision and to refrain from including specific citizenship or immigration status designations in their campus job postings unless the restrictions are required by law. They will also ensure that their other recruiting practices and policies comply with the INA's anti-discrimination provision.
The Civil Rights Division's Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) is responsible for enforcing the anti-discrimination provision of the INA. The statute prohibits discrimination based on citizenship status and national origin in hiring, firing or recruitment or referral for a fee; unfair documentary practices; and retaliation and intimidation.

IER's website has more information on how employers can avoid discriminating based on citizenship status when hiring and recruiting. Applicants or employees who believe they were discriminated against based on their citizenship, immigration status or national origin in hiring, firing, recruitment or during the employment eligibility verification process (Form I-9 and E-Verify); or subjected to retaliation, may file a charge.

Rolls Royce Silver Spirit
Rolls-Royce's most significant model since the Silver Ghost was the Silver Shadow which , took 11 years to come to fruition and included many technical refinements. Under the code name Tibet, this model was the first Rolls-Royce to use monocoque or unitary construction.The Silver Shadow was a huge technical leap forward from its predecessors. The car had every luxury option possible at the time. Gear change, windows, seat adjustment, fuel filler cap, aerial, air conditioning and heating were all electrically operated. A hydraulic system with pumps operated from the camshaft was also a considerable advance, as were power-operated disc brakes and self-leveling independent suspension.
The Silver Shadow was launched in October 1965, priced at 6,556 pounds. This made it 900 pounds more expensive than the Cloud III, but in technical terms the Silver Shadow was superior – easily the most superior model ever offered by Rolls-Royce up to that point.Early cars were powered by the 6.23 liter V8, but in 1970 it was increased to 6.75 liters to compensate for increasingly tight and power-sapping emissions legislation.
The Silver Shadow II was introduced in 1977 and was an improved version of the previous model with changes in external appearance, particularly wrap-around black bumpers with an air dam underneath; handling was also improved. The long-wheelbase Silver Wraith II had four inches more rear legroom.The Silver Shadow and Silver Shadow II were destined to become the best selling Rolls-Royce cars ever produced and they remain to this day a Great British icon.

Farmers' market, music fests highlight summer on South Pearl
By Greg Glasgow
Posted May 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Summer is about to sprout on South Pearl Street, with the arrival of the annual farmers' market on June 5 and a trio of music festivals — including the brand new Old South Pearl Jam — on the second Saturdays of June, July and August.
Featuring around 70 vendors selling everything from fresh produce and artisanal food products to goose-down pillows and other agricultural products, the farmers' market runs from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. every Sunday from June 5–Oct. 30. The market has expanded slightly this year to make room for new vendors; it will run on the 1500 block of South Pearl Street and about half of the 1400 block near Sushi Den and the Pearl Street Grill.
"We're more of a neighborhood, low-key event as opposed to, say, the Cherry Creek Farmers' Market, which is a good one, but it's a little bigger and has more of a commercial kind of feel," says Mark Gill, president of the Old South Pearl Street Association.
Opening day on June 5 includes a green fair, featuring vendors and information on eco-friendly living and urban homesteading. Other special farmers' market events this year include a health and wellness fair on July 17, "eat local day" on Aug. 21, a pet fair on Sept. 18, a chili cook-off on Oct. 16 and a Halloween fest on closing day, Oct. 30. Keep an eye out for representatives of the city's red-hot food truck scene as well; past markets have featured visits from Watercourse Foods' Steamin' Demon cart and the Little Orange Rocket run by South Broadway eatery Deluxe.
As for music, the old standards — bluegrass and blues — are back, along with a new fest that celebrates the jammier side of the local music scene. Each fest also features beer from eight Colorado breweries, including Left Hand, New Belgium, Oskar Blues, Breckenridge and Great Divide. Music festivals are on the 1200 block of South Pearl, near the Duffeyroll Cafe. Admission is $5.
The bluegrass-heavy Brewgrass, June 11, features performances by Kansas-based Split Lip Rayfield, Los Angeles roots band Truth & Salvage Co., the Ryan Montbleau Band, Missy Raines and the New Hip, "high-octane Rocky Mountain dancegrass" band Whitewater Ramble, Chicago's Giving Tree and Denver's own Loose Cannon.
Blues and Brews, Aug. 13, features three national acts — New Orleans-style singer/pianist Marcia Ball, Muddy Waters' son Big Bill Morganfield and Texas guitarist Bugs Henderson — plus local trio 3 Twins (led by former Subdude John Magnie), the Boulder-based Lionel Young Band, seven-piece all-female dance band She Groovez and Colorado acoustic blues band Felonius Smith.
"We kind of branched out a little bit this year and really went after some national acts and were lucky enough to get a couple of really good ones," says Dave McIntyre, who books the bands for the blues festival. "I think this is one of the best lineups we've ever had."
The new kid on the block, the July 9 Old South Pearl Jam, features an all-Colorado lineup of improv-heavy rock, including Boulder's Motet, String Cheese Incident keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth and DU's own Kinetix, plus Denver quartet the Congress, bluegrass fusion band Mountain Standard Time, electro-jammers Signal Path and DJ Mikey Thunder, who will open the show and perform in between the other acts, making for nine or so hours of nonstop music.
"Obviously, Denver — and Colorado for that matter — is a huge market for [jam bands], and there are some terrific bands out of here that are doing very well," says David Weingarden, the Swallow Hill concerts director who also works on the Pearl Street events. "Luckily enough, most of the ones that were right at the top of the list were available, so it worked out nicely and I think we have a really strong lineup."


The last two weeks have seen another tremendous burst of energy at the garden. Phase II of the planting at the Temple of Love was completed on scorching days of heat with more than 1,000 plants put in the ground. The results are nothing short of spectacular. Look for Phase III in the fall.
After two and a half years of effort the restored Vista was dedicated on the beautiful sunny morning of July 12. A small crowd gathered to celebrate this milestone, with speeches by Mayor Spano, Assemblywoman Mayer, and Councilman Sabatino. It was a joyful day, to say the least.
Four months ago, I gave our annual Winter Lecture in the City, "Untermyer Gardens: Its Periods of Glory and Its Sack." It is now available on YouTube. If you're willing to watch a lecture for an hour (bring a glass of wine), you'll enjoy it. It shows quite a few historic pictures, including a number of historic videos.
Last year, our Young Friends of Untermyer Gardens sponsored a fantastic party. This year, their Midsummer Garden Party will take place on Wednesday, August 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Please come to this reasonably priced event, share some wine or beer and hors d'oeuvres with friends, while listening to music and appreciating the sunset and the garden at its peak! People of all ages are welcome.
During these Dog Days of summer, there is no Delight more Delicious (the Four Ds) than a visit to Untermyer Gardens.

The name of the company Arriba® arises from the brainstorming (you speak whatever is on your mind and from the variety of words you choose the one you like).
We completely identify with the word Arriba®, whether as we write it, pronounce it or what it means. Why did this word cross our mind? It is a sort of cacao (tree) from Ecuador and as cocoa is a primary product, the name Arriba® is more than apt for our company because we use only basic products, no semiproducts and similarly no flavourings, emulsifiers. We try to care about the caloric value of cakes that is why the creams are made of milk, whipped cream and curd. Our creams do not burden the digestion so much as those made of pure whipped cream or butter. The caloric value of the 100 g cake is about 900 – 1700 KJ in comparison to 100 g chocolate which has about 2000 KJ.
Freshness - directly from the production to the customer.
Hygiene – cleanliness by processing and transport.
Guarantee – only natural products, no chemical additives, no chemical flavours, without preservatives.
Appearance – simply tempting, natural beauty from natural materials.
Taste – important for us, we still control the taste of all products, improve and "create" new flavours so that you can feel enjoyment in every single piece.
Materials – we carefully choose the quality in order to make the taste of every product a special experience for you.

As with a typical Halloween the rain greeted us for the whole day. For a week prior I was researching where to go out trick or treating. Hard not to laugh but Toronto is all new to me and I had no clue where we would take our daughter trick or treating. When the evening finally came we walked out our front door of our apartment building only to find no one out. Seriously only about two houses with lights on. How were we going to meet our neighbours when know one had lights on.
So we decided to head into our car and drive to a different neighbourhood so our daughter would not be disappointed by the lack of participation in our neighbourhood.
My little angel dressed up as Belle one of her favourite Disney Princesses. Unfortunately due to all the rain we had to put a clear plastic poncho over top so she didn't get soaked and end up sick.
Even with our change of plans my little princess received a lot of candy. Too much candy if you ask me but she was very happy and we were happy to allow her this opportunity of going trick or treating. Next year we are going to find something else to do on Halloween because so far trick or treating in Toronto is for the birds. Sad but truthful information.
If anyone in Toronto is reading this can you point me in the right direction for Halloween activities or a great spot to go trick or treating for next year? Did you go out trick or treating? Does your neighbourhood participate and if they don't what do you do instead?

*
*     Optionally Z may be postmultiplied into an input orthogonal
*     matrix Q so that this routine can give the Schur factorization
*     of a matrix A which has been reduced to the Hessenberg form H
*     by the orthogonal matrix Q:  A = Q*H*Q**T = (QZ)*T*(QZ)**T.

*           The order of the matrix H.  N .GE. 0.
*
*     ILO   (input) INTEGER
*     IHI   (input) INTEGER
*           It is assumed that H is already upper triangular in rows
*           and columns 1:ILO-1 and IHI+1:N. ILO and IHI are normally
*           set by a previous call to DGEBAL, and then passed to DGEHRD
*           when the matrix output by DGEBAL is reduced to Hessenberg
*           form. Otherwise ILO and IHI should be set to 1 and N
*           respectively.  If N.GT.0, then 1.LE.ILO.LE.IHI.LE.N.
*           If N = 0, then ILO = 1 and IHI = 0.
*
*     H     (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDH,N)
*           On entry, the upper Hessenberg matrix H.
*           On exit, if INFO = 0 and JOB = 'S', then H contains the
*           upper quasi-triangular matrix T from the Schur decomposition
*           (the Schur form); 2-by-2 diagonal blocks (corresponding to
*           complex conjugate pairs of eigenvalues) are returned in
*           standard form, with H(i,i) = H(i+1,i+1) and
*           H(i+1,i)*H(i,i+1).LT.0. If INFO = 0 and JOB = 'E', the
*           contents of H are unspecified on exit.  (The output value of
*           H when INFO.GT.0 is given under the description of INFO
*           below.)
*
*           Unlike earlier versions of DHSEQR, this subroutine may
*           explicitly H(i,j) = 0 for i.GT.j and j = 1, 2, ... ILO-1
*           or j = IHI+1, IHI+2, ... N.
*
*     LDH   (input) INTEGER
*           The leading dimension of the array H. LDH .GE. max(1,N).
*
*     WR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
*     WI    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
*           The real and imaginary parts, respectively, of the computed
*           eigenvalues. If two eigenvalues are computed as a complex
*           conjugate pair, they are stored in consecutive elements of
*           WR and WI, say the i-th and (i+1)th, with WI(i) .GT. 0 and
*           WI(i+1) .LT. 0. If JOB = 'S', the eigenvalues are stored in
*           the same order as on the diagonal of the Schur form returned
*           in H, with WR(i) = H(i,i) and, if H(i:i+1,i:i+1) is a 2-by-2
*           diagonal block, WI(i) = sqrt(-H(i+1,i)*H(i,i+1)) and
*           WI(i+1) = -WI(i).
*
*     Z     (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDZ,N)
*           If COMPZ = 'N', Z is not referenced.
*           If COMPZ = 'I', on entry Z need not be set and on exit,
*           if INFO = 0, Z contains the orthogonal matrix Z of the Schur
*           vectors of H.  If COMPZ = 'V', on entry Z must contain an
*           N-by-N matrix Q, which is assumed to be equal to the unit
*           matrix except for the submatrix Z(ILO:IHI,ILO:IHI). On exit,
*           if INFO = 0, Z contains Q*Z.
*           Normally Q is the orthogonal matrix generated by DORGHR
*           after the call to DGEHRD which formed the Hessenberg matrix
*           H. (The output value of Z when INFO.GT.0 is given under
*           the description of INFO below.)
*
*     LDZ   (input) INTEGER
*           The leading dimension of the array Z.  if COMPZ = 'I' or
*           COMPZ = 'V', then LDZ.GE.MAX(1,N).  Otherwize, LDZ.GE.1.
*
*     WORK  (workspace/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LWORK)
*           On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns an estimate of
*           the optimal value for LWORK.
*
*     LWORK (input) INTEGER
*           The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK .GE. max(1,N)
*           is sufficient, but LWORK typically as large as 6*N may
*           be required for optimal performance.  A workspace query
*           to determine the optimal workspace size is recommended.
*
*           If LWORK = -1, then DHSEQR does a workspace query.
*           In this case, DHSEQR checks the input parameters and
*           estimates the optimal workspace size for the given
*           values of N, ILO and IHI.  The estimate is returned
*           in WORK(1).  No error message related to LWORK is
*           issued by XERBLA.  Neither H nor Z are accessed.
*
*
*     INFO  (output) INTEGER
*             =  0:  successful exit
*           .LT. 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
*                    value
*           .GT. 0:  if INFO = i, DHSEQR failed to compute all of
*                the eigenvalues.  Elements 1:ilo-1 and i+1:n of WR
*                and WI contain those eigenvalues which have been
*                successfully computed.  (Failures are rare.)
*
*                If INFO .GT. 0 and JOB = 'E', then on exit, the
*                remaining unconverged eigenvalues are the eigen-
*                values of the upper Hessenberg matrix rows and
*                columns ILO through INFO of the final, output
*                value of H.
*
*                If INFO .GT. 0 and JOB   = 'S', then on exit
*
*           (*)  (initial value of H)*U  = U*(final value of H)
*
*                where U is an orthogonal matrix.  The final
*                value of H is upper Hessenberg and quasi-triangular
*                in rows and columns INFO+1 through IHI.
*
*                If INFO .GT. 0 and COMPZ = 'V', then on exit
*
*                  (final value of Z)  =  (initial value of Z)*U
*
*                where U is the orthogonal matrix in (*) (regard-
*                less of the value of JOB.)
*
*                If INFO .GT. 0 and COMPZ = 'I', then on exit
*                      (final value of Z)  = U
*                where U is the orthogonal matrix in (*) (regard-

Q: Calling a function only once after fast calls I have a search button the user can click.
This search button calls a function. I want to avoid that the function is executed multiple times when the user clicks the search button twice or more (because he thinks that nothing has happened).
I am thinking of using setTimeout(function(){}) somehow and in the end only call the search function again if the click on the button is at least 3 seconds away from the last click.
Example: https://jsfiddle.net/n1rcre75/ - I want to be able to click the button twice in a row (after 1 second) but have the execute function only run once
Any ideas?

A: Just guard the search:
var button = document.getElementById('search');
var runSearch = true;

button.addEventListener('click', function(evt) {
        evt.preventDefault();

        if(!runSearch){
                return;
        }

        console.log('do search');

        runSearch = false;
        setTimeout(function(){
                runSearch = true;
        }, 3000);
});

Or, if you don't want to introduce another variable to the scope:
document.getElementById('search').addEventListener('click', (function() {
        var runSearch = true;

        return function(evt)  {
                evt.preventDefault();

                if(!runSearch){
                        return;
                }

                runSearch = false;
                console.log('do search');

                setTimeout(function(){
                        runSearch = true;
                }, 3000);
        }
})());

A: took your fiddle and made a few changes, the
setTimeout(function(){
//stuff
},3000);

is only to simulate the actual searching
https://jsfiddle.net/n4fhaqad/

A: I created a constructor to handle this in a reusable way. You can provide a delay when you create the object or when you invoke it. It has a default of 300ms.
function FunctionInvoker(waitTime) {
    this.timerIdentifier = null;
    this.waitTime = waitTime || 300;

    var self = this;

    this.invoke = function (callback, waitTime) {

        self.cancel();

        self.timerIdentifier = setTimeout(function () {
            self.cancel();
            callback();
        }, waitTime || self.waitTime);
    };

    this.cancel = function () {
        if (self.timerIdentifier != null) {
            clearTimeout(self.timerIdentifier);
            self.timerIdentifier = null;
        }
    }
}

To use it:
var functionInvoker = new FunctionInvoker();

functionInvoker.invoke(function () {
     // whatever you want to do (callback function)
     saveMyData(); // for ex: save data
});

I used this code when dealing with a slider. The slider was making an AJAX call too many times. By using the functionInvoker I was able to only make the AJAX call when slider keeps the same value for Xms.

A: Make the button inactive until your search function return success or error, or until the user change the search string.

A: When you call you our function from the press event, disable the original button for the time the function runs, for example using the get element by Id:
function(foo){
document.getElementById("yourButtonId").disabled = true;

//do your function

document.getElementById("btnPlaceOrder").disabled = false;
}

of course this use case is not perfect for all situations, where for example you want to do additional calls inside the function or even xhr. If you have callbacks you should re-enable the button in those.

A: Try this code:
<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            $(document).ready(function() {
                $('button').click(function() {
                    $('button').prop('disabled', true);
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        $('button').prop('disabled', false);
                    }, 3000);
                });

            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <button>Click me</button>
    </body>
</html>

A: Just another solution:
<button onclick="buttonClick()">Click</button>

<script>
  var running = false;
  function buttonClick(){
        if(running == false){
          running = true;
          //your code
          setTimeout(function(){running = false}, 3000);
        }
  }
</script>

A: A generic code. You can add avoid_double_click class to that link/button on which you want to avoid multiple clicks
jQuery('.avoid_double_click').on('click', function(e) {
    var onclick_event = jQuery(this).attr('onclick');
    jQuery(this).removeAttr("onclick");
    var that = this;
    setTimeout(function(){
      jQuery(that).attr('onclick', onclick_event);
    },2000);
  });

A: This function can be used to make it work without any additional states or parameters that have to be cared for
function debounce(func, wait, immediate) {
    var timeout;
    return function() {
        var context = this, args = arguments;
        var later = function() {
            timeout = null;
            if (!immediate) func.apply(context, args);
        };
        var callNow = immediate && !timeout;
        clearTimeout(timeout);
        timeout = setTimeout(later, wait);
        if (callNow) func.apply(context, args);
    };
};

Radhanath Swami – Superb article on how to remain positive in negative situations!
Comment on Always Positive by Kalpana Kulkarni.
Superb article on how to remain positive in negative situations!
The determination to never give up despite having obstacles is the stepping stone to success.
The ultimate secret of that positivity lays in seeing the merciful hand of God acting through everyone around and through every aspect of life – Wonderful inspiring words!
Amazing article! Gives us insight about rituals and how we should understand the meaning behind these rituals which ultimately help us in purifying our consciousness.
Being committed to a particular spiritual path yet being able to appreciate other paths and religious leaders is a hallmark of a great devotee.
God – the greatest or the sweetest?
God is both great and sweet and his pastimes illustrate both these aspects!
In our times of crisis, it is only hope and surrender that can save us!
The hallmark of all great souls is to appreciate all religions and realize that the essence of all religions is the same.
To pray needs a humble heart, and humility is the greatest virtue valued by GOD.
Radhanath Swami by his desire, ability, eagerness, and knowledge to pray shows us how close he is to the instructions of GOD.
Its really true , Prayers give us a lot of morale boostup from inside and have personally realised this power of Prayer number of times. But yes Maharaj incident teaches how and what to pray for.
Praying to Lord gives lot of satisfaction in this world.Thanks to Radhanath Swami.
radhanth swami shows by his example that faith can move mountains he had faith in his mother that god loves him and that faith has took him to the position of divinty.
Nice level of information here. There is so much data around about this subject that sometimes you cannot see the wood for the trees but you have pitched this at just the right level so that the lay person can understand – thank you!
To make our dreary lives simple,sublime and gay!
Hey very nice blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds also…I am happy to find so many useful information here in the post, we need develop more strategies in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
Prayers cuts the distance between oneself and God. radhanath Swami habituated since tender age to pray. He is really a great spiritual man. All glories to Radhanath Swami.
Radhanath Swami is a real saint who has come out of his comfort zone to save us from the onslaught of this material world. Thank you Radhanath Swami.
Power of Prayer….Radhanath Swami always prays for the well being of everyone. That is his greatness.
Power of prayer is always taken lightly due to lack of faith. But through this article Radhanath Swami gives a new surge of faith.
Thank you Radhanath Swami for instructing us on the mood to be followed while praying.
Thanks for sharing, we can peep into Radhanath Swami's heart and his feelings through his prayers. He truly is everyone's well wisher.
thank you very much Maharaj!!!
Power of prayers! really amazing.
Prayers are indeed the most powerful tool & medium to express our heart our beloved Lordships ! As its said "Prayers go up, Blessings come down".
Thank you for showing us the power of prayers.
Hare Krsna ! very nice article.
Thank you for sharing its enlightening.
Radhanath Swami is constantly remembering Krishna and help others also remember him.
Its due to the intense desire to bring everyone out of the fire of material existence, that Radhanath Swami is making the time to preach to everyone. His heart is very merciful.
Prayer enriches our hearts with God's presence and brings deep, lasting fulfillment, thus enabling us to have smiling hearts and smiling faces – wonderful lines!
power of prayer- a tool to perceive God's presence in our lives and touch Him with our thoughts. What a wonderful definition of prayer!
Usually all of us pray for material things like wealth, good job, nice spouse, etc and we also make deals saying that if we get what we ask for, then we will donate coconuts or feed brahmins, etc. But that is not what we should pray for. We should pray out of love and a sense of gratitude. We should pray for his love and blessings.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:47 Feb 06, 2017 Jkt 241001 OMB Approval Number: Pending. Type of Request: New. Form Number: No forms. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) is an increasingly popular approach for using the homeless assistance system to reduce and end homelessness in communities across the United States. Several studies have examined RRH program outcomes. HUD's Rapid Re-Housing for Homeless Families Demonstration Program report 1 and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' research brief Impact and Performance of the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program: Results from the FY 2013 Program Year 2 measured RRH outcomes, and RRH was one of the active interventions tested in the Family Options Study (FOS).3 Several local studies have also assessed RRH. Collectively, the research conducted to date has produced varied evidence of the outcomes for participants receiving this type of assistance. The Understanding Rapid Re-Housing Study provides an opportunity to (1) synthesize existing research on RRH programs, (2) extend the analysis of data from the Family Options Study (2016), (3) provide a detailed examination of all rapid re-housing programs nationwide, and (4) conduct qualitative research with a small sample of families and individuals who receive RRH. The first two objectives will utilize existing literature and data that have already been collected. To examine the nation's RRH programs, we will rely on currently existing Annual Program Reports (APRs) from local Continuums of Care (CoCs) and administer a web-based survey to RRH programs. To accomplish the fourth objective, we will conduct indepth interviews and ethnographic research with households. This notice announces HUD's intent to collect information through the following methods: Study investigators (from Abt Associates) will administer a program-level web-based survey, which 1 Abt Associates, Inc., 2016.

The survey will be administered to all CoCs and RRH programs nationwide. To describe the program models in place, the use of progressive engagement, and strategies for RRH in tight rental markets, the study investigators will conduct indepth telephone follow-up interviews with approximately 20 RRH programs. In addition, investigators will conduct one-time in-person in-depth interviews with a sample of six households in shelter who have been offered RRH but have not yet started to receive it, 16 households who are receiving RRH assistance, and six households that have already transitioned from RRH to permanent housing. Finally, to understand their experiences both during RRH and once RRH assistance ends, investigators will conduct ethnographic research with 16 households. This will include in-person interviews, household observations, quarterly check-ins, and the completion of housing journals. Respondents: Information collection for the program-level web survey will involve program staff from all CoCs (approximately 400) and all RRH programs nationwide (approximately 2,400 programs). Approximately 20 RRH programs will be involved in the indepth follow-up interviews. Information collection for the qualitative research will affect approximately 28 households. From the completed 28 interviews, study investigators will invite all 16 households receiving RRH to continue in the applied ethnographic component of the study (and we assume that 15 will complete the ethnographic research activities). Their one-time in-depth interviews will provide a baseline against which investigators will analyze data to be collected over the subsequent 15 months. Those data will include participant observation, housing journals, quarterly family updates, and two follow-up interviews. Members of Affected Public: Continuum of Care Collaborative Applicants, rapid re-housing program directors, and participants of rapid rehousing programs.

Councils escape yellow card over their tax rises
No council will be warned or capped over council tax increases for 2000/01, ministers decided this week.
At the beginning of the week, three unnamed councils were supposedly at risk of being called in by ministers to receive a first warning – a 'yellow card' – over large tax rises and to be warned about their future budgetary plans.
But, following discussions between ministers and officials at the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, it was decided that no council had breached the government's spend and tax rules.
A government source said: 'There won't be any yellow-carding this year, but that's not to say ministers aren't concerned.'
Both ministers and local government were describing the decision as a victory.
Labour claimed its approach of allowing councils a little more to spend while making clear it would not tolerate large rises had been vindicated.But the government warned it would clamp down on future large rises. 'Everyone wants to see councils behaving. Double-digit council tax increases are unacceptable,' said the source.
Average increases for the current financial year stood at just over 6%. Councils thought to be under threat included Epsom and Ewell, which set a 7% increase, and Mid-Bedfordshire, which increased bills by 7.1%.
Last year, 12 councils were warned about their future conduct. But all have avoided being censured this year.
Local government representatives claimed the decision was a sign of growing trust between the government and councils over finance. Mike Grealy, deputy director of local government finance at the Local Government Association, called the decision 'excellent news'.
Counties keep tax rises in line
