Q: How to get name of logged user (Flask, SQLAlchemy) I want to authomaticaly put name to authors blogged from loged in session.
So far I can log user but when he is already logged I cant find way to work with his name on site.
So I am trying to create some way, which will store username after he is logged in memory and flask will then use this username for blog posts and comments or editing profile. Thank you
Base = declarative_base()
class User(Base):

     __tablename__ = "users"

     id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
     username = Column(String(64))
     password = Column(String(120))
     email = Column(String(64))

     def __init__(self, username, password, email):

         self.username = username
         self.password = password
         self.email = email

Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

Base2 = declarative_base()
class Blogpost(Base2):

    __tablename__ = 'blogpost'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    title = Column(String(50))
    subtitle = Column(String(50))
    author = Column(String(20))
    date_posted = Column(DateTime)
    content = Column(Text)

    def __init__(self, title, subtitle, author, date_posted, content):

         self.title = title
         self.subtitle = subtitle
         self.author = author
         self.date_posted = date_posted
         self.content = content

@app.route('/login', methods=['POST'])
def login():

     POST_USERNAME = str(request.form['username'])
     POST_PASSWORD = str(request.form['password'])

def check_password(hashed_password, user_password):
    password, salt = hashed_password.split(':')
    return password == hashlib.sha256(salt.encode() + user_password.encode()).hexdigest()

Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
s = Session()
user = s.query(User).filter_by(username=POST_USERNAME).first()
if check_password(user.password, POST_PASSWORD) == True:
    session['logged_in'] = True
    user_name = POST_USERNAME
else:
    flash('wrong password!')
return index()

@app.route('/add')
def add():
     return render_template('add.html')

@app.route('/addpost', methods=['POST'])
def addpost():
     title = request.form['title']
     subtitle = request.form['subtitle']
     content = request.form['content']

     Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
     session = Session()
     post = Blogpost(title=title, subtitle=subtitle, author=user_name,   content=content, date_posted=datetime.now())

     session.add(post)
     session.commit()

A: I would encourage you to use an extension like flask-login for user management or flask-security for extended features, meanwhile, you can store the user in flask sessions.
first import session (i will call it login_session to differentiate it with your sql-alchemy session)
from flask import session as login_session

Then once a user logs in you can store the user details like this
login_session['username'] = user.username #user here being the user object you have queried

And to access the user name from session
username  = login_session['username']

and once a user logs out, you delete the user details from session like this
del login_session['username']

But as others have mentioned in the comments, for a serious web app, you will want to consider using one of the flask extensions for user management

Los Angeles Architecture
Frank Gehry to design performing arts school expansion
The architect will get to try his hand at another concert hall

Architect Frank Gehry isn't finished leaving his mark on Downtown Los Angeles.
The Colburn School announced Wednesday that it had selected Gehry to design a major expansion of its Grand Avenue campus, which sits kitty-corner to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, one of the architect's most iconic projects. The new facility will rise on a parcel of nearby land between Olive and Hill streets.
At the heart of the performing arts school's proposed expansion: a new concert hall, with seating for 1,100 (about half the capacity of the Disney Hall). The project would also include new classroom and rehearsal space, an outdoor performance area, a 700-seat studio theater, and an intimate "cabaret-style space" for musical performances.
In a statement, Gehry made clear that he'll be designing the project within the larger context of the area around it.
"The expansion of the Colburn School fills an important addition to the long-held dream to create a cultural district in downtown Los Angeles," said Gehry, who is also working on an enormous development set to bring housing, shops, a hotel, and a movie theater to Grand Avenue.
The project is one of several, including Grand Park and The Broad, proposed as part of a larger plan for Grand Avenue that would transform the street into a hub of art, music, and culture in the heart of Downtown.
"What we all dreamed about twenty years ago is now becoming within reach," Gehry said.

The Colburn School has been at its current location since 1998, when it moved into a facility designed by the now-defunct Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. In 2007, the school tripled in size with an expansion overseen by Pfeiffer Partners. The school estimates the new addition will add about 200,000 square feet of space to the campus.
Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics and Michael Ferguson of TheatreDNA, both past collaborators on Gehry projects, will work with the architect on the new performance venues.

Terrorist Released from Gitmo is Killing British, American Troops
The Taleban commander responsible for increasingly sophisticated explosives attacks on British soldiers in Afghanistan is a former detainee from Guantanamo Bay, British officials and Taleban sources have told The Times.
Abdul Ghulam Rasoul was held in Guantanamo for six years before his release, in December 2007, by the unanimous decision of a review board that determined he was no longer a threat.
Catherine Philp, Michael Evans and Tom
British officials told The Times that Rasoul is the man that has since resurfaced as Mullah Abdullah Zakir, the Taleban's new operations chief in southern Afghanistan and the architect of a new offensive against British and American troops.
The revelation of Rasoul's return to the battlefield underscores the challenges faced by the Obama administration in carrying out its vow to close Guantanamo, and raises fresh questions about the quality of American intelligence used there.Pentagon records of Rasoul's time in Guantanamo show he told investigators he had never been a commander in the Taleban, one of the factors that recommended him for release.

Never Wrong? U.S. Intelligence Says Iran Does Not Nave Any Highly Enriched Uranium
Didn't our national security team miss the current global economic, what's the president call it? Catastrophe? Just in the last few weeks, the global economy was added to the president's daily national security brief: too late.
Now our U.S. intelligence assessment is that Iran does not have any highly enriched uranium.
"We assess now that Iran does not have any highly enriched uranium," said Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair before the Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday.
But what if he's wrong? Hasn't our intelligence community been wrong before?
Did they predict September 11 and the death of 3,000 Americans?
Didn't the United States invade Iraq based upon a sure national security warning which was wrong? Didn't our national security team miss the impending fall of the Soviet Union?
The mistakes made by our national security team have had far reaching impact and have been much more significant in recent times than its successes.
The Times (London) reported today that a former Gitmo prison inmate was again killing U.S. and British troops in Afghanistan. "The revelation of Rasoul's return to the battlefield underscores the challenges faced by the Obama administration in carrying out its vow to close Guantanamo, and raises fresh questions about the quality of American intelligence…."
On Iran and its ability to make a nuclear weapon, what if they are wrong? What will that do to Israel, to world relations and to our national security?
Did our national security team know North Korea had a nuclear bomb? India? Pakistan? Did they know that A.Q. Khan was selling nuclear secrets all over the place?
Did our national security team know that those relesed from Gitmo would end up fighting the United States again?
Pardon me but I take no solace from yesterday's national security assessment on Iran's nuclear potential.
I'll bet Israel doesn't either….
On March 8, 2009, Israel's Military Intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin, who told the cabinet on Sunday that Iran had "crossed the technological threshold" and that its attainment of nuclear military capability was now a matter of "incorporating the goal of producing an atomic bomb to its strategy."
Amos Yadlin
Israeli's view the possible development of a nuclear weapon in Iran as a life and deth proposition for Israel. They are not comforted by Iran's President Ahmadinejad when he says the Holocaust didn't happen, the Zionist State (Ahmadinejad refuses to say the word "Israel") is illigitimate and Israel should be removed from the world's map. And Israeli's have been lied to in negotiations so often — and then attacked — that they put little stock in negotiations.
But the new U.S. president is sure he can negotiate for them with Syria, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, even the Taliban.
I wouldn't be surprised if Israel's took little comfort in President Obama and in the estimates of his national security team.
And you'll have to pardon Israel if some there believe that U.S. intelligence may sometimes be politicized. Obama's seclection of known anti-Israel advocate Charles Freemanto be Chairman of the National Intelligence Council was proof enough for Israel.
This is life and death stuff in Israel. It isn't clear yet that this is life and death to the Obama Administration which is waging war against Rush Limbaugh and eliminating the word terrorism from the government lexicon….

Guantanamo detainees gloat; say they planned Sept. 11
The five detainees at the U.S. Guantanamo Bay prison camp charged with plotting the September 11 attacks have filed a document expressing pride at their accomplishment and accepting responsibility for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people, The New York Times reported on Monday.
The document, which the newspaper said may be released publicly on Tuesday, describes the five men as the "9/11 Shura Council," and says their actions were an offering to God, according to excerpts of the document read to a reporter by an unidentified government official, the report said.
"'To us,' the official read, 'they are not accusations. To us they are a badge of honor, which we carry with honor,'" the paper said.

Official: 4 Guantanamo Prisoners Transferred to Iraq
A senior Iraqi security official says that four prisoners have been transferred from the U.S. military detention center in Guantanamo Bay to Iraqi custody.
The security official says the men, Iraqis who were arrested in Afghanistan, have been interrogated by Iraqi authorities.
The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, added that one Iraqi remained in Guantanamo.
The family of one of the prisoners, Hassan Abdul Hadi al-Jawhar, says the International Red Cross confirmed to them their son had been released.
Neda Abdul Hadi, Hassan's sister, said her brother disappeared in 1999 while doing military service and later they received a letter from him in 2004 saying he was in Guantanamo.

Obama Told His Actions On Gitmo Could "jeopardize those who are fighting the war on terror"
"We shouldn't make policy decisions based on human rights and legal advocacy groups," retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Kurt Lippold said in a telephone interview. "We should consider what is best for the American people, which is not to jeopardize those who are fighting the war on terror — or even more adversely impact the families who have already suffered losses as a result of the war."
The former commander of the USS Cole, the American war ship that was struck by a suicide boat in Yemeni waters more than eight years ago, on Thursday slammed President Barack Obama's orders to close the Guantanamo detention center and reassess the prisoners being held there.
By Carol Rosenberg
Lippold also spoke about the trial….
Seventeen U.S. sailors were killed in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Aden, Yemen.

Former Gitmo Detainee Hailed as 'Fomenter of War'
Before he was released from Guantanamo, a Saudi detainee insisted he had only wanted to help refugees and was not a fighter. Now, as an Al Qaeda field commander sporting a bandolier of bullets, he is threatening the United States and has been hailed by a militant Web site as a veteran guerrilla and "a fomenter of war."
The story of Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi underscores the dilemma Barack Obama's administration finds itself in: Keeping men locked up without trials invites global criticism but releasing them without a fair and diligent process to distinguish enemies from noncombatants exposes the U.S. and its allies to danger. It also shows how hard it is to separate truth from lies.
Al-Oufi was one of two former Saudi detainees at Guantanamo, the U.S. military prison in Cuba, who resurfaced last week in video clips as Al Qaeda fighters in Yemen. Their identities were confirmed in recent days by a U.S. counterterror official. Al-Oufi was detainee number 333 at Guantanamo.
On Wednesday, the SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that monitors extremist Web sites, provided a translation of al-Oufi's biography contained in an online militant forum. The personal history was completely at odds with how al-Oufi had characterized himself as he tried to convince a panel of U.S. military officers at Guantanamo that he was an innocent man who had been swept up in Pakistan after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"We are in a zero-error tolerant engagement here. If we allow just one Gimo prisoner to walk free and he destroys the World Trade Center, White House, Big Ben, or Eiffel Tower, what will everyone say. What will liberals say?"
That quote is from a former CIA man with experiece dealing with terrorists.
We became much more interested in the Guantanamo Bay and torture issee after reporters started to doubt the Pentagon's claims that several free men who formerly had lodgings in Gitmo has re-joined terrorists groups.
The point isn't that men freed after terrorist prison confinement again become terrorists. The point is that we are in a "zero defect" environment…..
"These are not nice people," said my CIA friend….
Two men released from the US "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.
One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.
Former detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri
Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333.
A Pentagon spokesman, Commander Jeffrey Gordon, on Saturday declined to confirm the SITE information.
"We remain concerned about ex-Guantanamo detainees who have re-affiliated with terrorist organizations after their departure," said Gordon.
"We will continue to work with the international community to mitigate the threat they pose," he said.
On the video, al-Shihri is seen sitting with three other men before a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq, the front for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
"By Allah, imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for," al-Shihri was quoted as saying.

Pentagon Says Many Former Gitmo Prisoners Return to Terror; Some Experts Don't Agree
The Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence community estimates that some 61 former Guantanamo Bay prisoners have returned to terrorist activities after their release. Several reporters and intelligence experts disagree.
The Pentagon report, released days before President Obama took office, says 18 former Gitmo detainees are confirmed to have participated in terrorist attacks, and 43 are suspected to have been involved in attacks.
That figure would be about 11 percent of the roughly 520 prisoners who have been released from the Guantanamo facility.
President Barack Obama ordered the Gitmo prison closed just after he took office this week.
Several experts say the Pentagon has inflated the numbers of released prisoners known to have returned to terror activities. Some say this number inflation is meant to influence policy…..
The issue really is: what if one man goes from prison back to mass killing and terror?

Tortured Language Hides Torture Truth: Obama Policy Change Resolves a Domestic Political Problem
Mr. Obama's Inaugural line that "we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals" was itself misrepresenting the choices his predecessor was forced to make. At least President Bush was candid about the practical realities of preventing mass casualties in the U.S.
Most politicians would rather do anything than make a difficult choice, and it seems President Obama hasn't abandoned this Senatorial habit. To wit, yesterday's executive order on interrogation: It imposes broad limits on how aggressively U.S. intelligence officers can question terrorists, but it also keeps open the prospect of legal loopholes that would allow them to press harder in tough cases.
While that kind of double standard may resolve a domestic political problem, it's no way to fight a war. The human-rights lobby and many Democrats are still experiencing hypochondria about the Bush Administration's supposed torture program, and their cheering about this "clean break" means they may be appeased. But the larger risk is that Mr. Obama's restrictions end up disabling an essential tool in the U.S. antiterror arsenal.
Effective immediately, the interrogation of anyone "in the custody or under the effective control of an officer, employee, or other agent of the United States Government" will be conducted within the limits of the Army Field Manual. That includes special-ops and the Central Intelligence Agency, which will now be required to give prisoners gentler treatment than common criminals. The Field Manual's confines don't even allow the average good cop/bad cop routines common in most police precincts.
The Army Field Manual is already the operating guide for military interrogations. The crux of the "torture" debate has been that the Bush Administration permitted more coercive techniques in rare cases — fewer than 100 detainees, according to CIA Director Michael Hayden. Yesterday Mr. Obama revoked the 2007 Presidential carve-out that protected this CIA flexibility.
"Torture" Debate is Academic, Abstract Until Real National Crisis Imminent
Why the Gitmo policies may not change

There may be less than meets the eye to the executive orders President Obama issued yesterday to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and prohibit the torture of prisoners in American custody. Those pronouncements may sound dramatic and unequivocal, but experts predict that American policy towards detainees could remain for months or even years pretty close to what it was as President Bush left office.
"I think the administration's commitment to close Guantanamo is heartening; the fact they want to give themselves a year to do it, not so much,", said Ramzi Kassem, a Yale Law School lecturer who represents prisoners like inmate Ahmed Zuhair, who was captured in Pakistan in 2001. "That would bring men like my client to eight years imprisonment for no apparent reason."
Here are a few of the delays, caveats and loopholes that could limit the impact of Obama's orders:
1. Everyone has to follow the Army Field Manual—for now…
Obama's executive order on interrogations says all agencies of the government have to follow the Army Field Manual when interrogating detainees, meaning the CIA can no longer used so-called enhanced interrogation techniques, which have included waterboarding, the use of dogs in questioning, and stripping prisoners.

You shouldn't kill spiders when you find them in your home, expert claims!
Spiders will hide away if they think you can see them – so you won't be 'getting rid' of the spiders in your house, as there are probably more.
Spider expert Matt Bertone of North Carolina State University says that the creatures can also perform a vital function by getting rid of insects.
Bertone said in an essay for The Conversation, 'It's OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it's normal. And frankly, even if you don't see them, they'll still be there.
Bertone suggests that if you're bothered, you should take the spider outside, where it will happily scuttle off to find a new home.

I remember fighting with my sister, Charla, about who got to tell my parents that Baby Jessica was free from the well. They had gone out the evening that she was freed. I lost. I had to sit quitely while she told my parents.

Liberal Derangement
CDC Director Panics, As Crime Spree Is Exposed
Charles Roberson
ICYMI| Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Dr. Rochelle Walensky walked back her comments from Friday night about a potential federal vaccine mandate.
In other words, the tyrants of the Biden administration want to force unvaccinated people to get the jab.
Walensky told Fox News' Bret Baier that the administration "is looking into" a federal vaccine mandate. "That's something that I think the administration is looking into, it's something that I think we're looking to see approval of from the vaccine. Overall, I think in general, I am all for more vaccination, but I have nothing further to say on that except that we're looking into those policies."
Here's the thing about this that the director of the CDC should already know. Either Walensky knows this, and she's lying or she's an incompetent political hack. The law is very clear. An experimental vaccine can not be mandated by anyone.
This means that employers, including the federal government, can not force an experimental vaccine onto American citizens because federal law says so. And if this administration attempts to change the law, it would be considered a crime against humanity.
That means no one can tell you that you cannot work, go to school, or have your rights removed unless you get vaccinated.
Below is a link for a letter template to use related to your employer or school attempting to mandate the COVID-19 experimental vaccine candidates.
Give it to principals, superintendents, department of education officials, managers, corporate officers, etc. Put everyone you can think of on notice.
Source: America's Frontline Doctors – Print this letter out to your employer or your children's principals, superintendents, department of education officials, managers, corporate officers, etc. You can edit out parts that do not pertain to your situation but do not add anything new.
Here is an excerpt from the letter:
To: Whom It May Concern:
Re: Covid-19 Experimental Vaccine Candidates
Any compulsory Covid-19 vaccination requirement is a violation of federal law. I urge you to advise all students that they have the right to refuse or to take any COVID-19 vaccine. Any other action is contrary to federal law.
Covid-19 Vaccines are Experimental.
Covid-19 vaccines are not approved by the FDA. The Covid-19 vaccines are only approved under an Emergency Use Authorization, for investigational use only. Covid-19 vaccines lack requisite studies and are not approved medical treatment. The FDA's guidance on emergency use authorization of medical products requires the FDA to "ensure that recipients are informed to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances … That they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product …"
Title 21, Section 360bbb-3 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FD&C Act") vests the Secretary of Health and Human Services with the permissive authority to grant Emergency Use Authorizations ("EUAs") providing that appropriate conditions designed to ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered are informed: [emphasis added]
1. that the Secretary has authorized the emergency use of the product;
2. of the significant known and potential benefits and risks of such use, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown; and
3. of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks. [emphasis added]
The right to avoid the imposition of human experimentation is fundamental, rooted in the Nuremberg Code of 1947, has been ratified by the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki, and further codified in the United States Code of Federal Regulations. In addition to the United States regarding itself as bound by these provisions, these principles were adopted by the FDA in its regulations requiring the informed consent of human subjects for medical research. It is unlawful to conduct medical research, even in the case of an emergency, it take unless steps to secure informed consent of all participants.
The letter given in the link above is written for you to sign and give to whatever authority is trying to force you or your children to get vaccinated for COVID-19 against your will.
For the fact-checkers at Facebook and elsewhere, before you make a knee jerk decision to mark this as "misinformation," I suggest you look it up for yourself. This is factual information and censoring it would be considered a crime against humanity. Simply Google "Title 21 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, section 360bbb-3" to find many sources of the law including the government links to the law. Or you can just look at this government link.
What is causing controversy is that some say the statute doesn't state that the notice requirement applies to private employers or states.
Some lawyers for the government argue that the reference "the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product" means Congress has the intention that the administration may in some instances be mandated.
The only one we can find is a law that allows the president to waive the requirement to advise members of the military that a drug or vaccine is optional under the EUA if it is not in the interest of national security, 10 USC § 1107a.
Waiving the requirement to notify American citizens that they don't have to take an experimental medicine isn't the same as being allowed to mandate taking it.
Walensky took to social media to clarify her remarks.
"To clarify: There will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government. There will be no federal mandate."
.@BerkeleyJr To clarify: There will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government. There will be no federal mandate.
— Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH (@CDCDirector) July 30, 2021
But even that is illegal and Walensky should know that. Private institutions and the federal government may not mandate getting vaccinated with an experimental vaccine. The federal government demands that we the people follow their laws. Well, why don't they follow their own laws here?
The Fox News host asked Walensky if there would be a vaccine mandate on a federal level. Walensky replied that this is "not unlike other things that are mandated, other vaccines that are mandated for school-going children, for healthcare personnel." Except it is VERY unlike those other vaccines, because they have been approved by the FDA after going through the scientific testing and analysis unlike any of the current coronavirus vaccines.

A new study has been released by the University of Toronto that says that plastic surgery can take an average of nine years off of a person's "age appearance." The results not only quantify the youth-giving effects of plastic surgery, but researchers also found that their results held true even when patients were younger to begin with, according to the Daily Mail.
The study also found that the more plastic surgery procedures an individual has had, the greater the number of years between real and perceived age. For the study, before-and-after photos were shown to 40 first year medical students. They were then asked to estimate the ages of the group before they went under the knife, and then afterwards.
The patients had all undergone a variety of facial lifts (and had each had between one and three procedures). To the medical students, patients who had more lifts, nips or tucks looked noticeably younger than their peers.
The authors of the study wrote in their findings that they hope that doctors take this and give patients solid evidence 'when formulating their preoperative expectations.' They also added that their data raised further questions such as, 'How many years' reduction in perceived aging can we achieve while retaining a natural untreated look? Many patients state that they "want to look good for their age." What does this really mean? Is it a qualitative measure, or can it be quantified?
What do you think this study will do for plastic surgery? Were you surprised that three surgeries could make you look nine years younger? And, are you worried that people have unrealistic expectations?

About Helium

                Helium is an intuitive visual companion interface for MySQL databases. When employed alongside DataJoint,
                Helium enables metadata capture without any knowledge of MATLAB or Python, requiring only a web
                browser. Helium focuses on doing a few things very well instead of trying to recreate every feature
                found in DataJoint. Most notably, Helium provides

A fully featured data viewer

Powerful form generation that can suite any table

A mobile friendly interface—works anywhere a modern browser can be installed

Simple navigation

A RESTful JSON API

            <video muted autoplay loop title="Filling in a form with complex references to other tables">
                <source src="media/compound_keys_form.webm" type="video/webm">
                It doesn't look like your browser supports HTML5 video
            </video>

Works with any MySQL database

                    Helium was built to work with any MySQL or MariaDB database. Helium is aware of DataJoint
                    conventions and as a result, it is smarter than your average database companion. It understands
                    concepts such as the difference between a manual and a computed table.

Data entry made easy

                    Helium is capable of building complex forms for any table and even handles
                    master/part table
                    relationships. Dates, times, and datetimes are easy to input and use the browser's native date/time
                    picker for a simpler experience. Everything from booleans to enums have their own specialized inputs.

                    Helium goes a long way for convenience. Conventionally tricky things like managing compound foreign
                    keys when inserting data is made simple with a click of a button.

Simple data browsing

                    Helium does everything you'd expect a data table to do. Sorting, filtering, and column resizing are
                    all essential parts of viewing data. Helium's data viewing capabilities are designed to be intuitive
                    and easy to use.

RESTful API

                Every bit of data available when using Helium is also available programmatically
                —from schema names to table content and every bit of metadata in between.

$ curl <helium-host>/api/v1/schemas \
    -H "X-API-Key: my-api-key"

["some_schema", "another_schema"]

Open source

                Helium is available for free (as in speech) and its source code  is available on
                GitHub under the
                MIT license. If there's a feature
                you'd like added or a bug you need fixed,  let
                us know (or even better, send us a pull request)!

Built with industry standard tools

                Helium is built with fast, powerful, and secure libraries like Angular and Express.js. These libraries
                are trusted by thousands developers everywhere from freelance jobs to companies like Google, PayPal, and
                IBM.

I am the parent of a wonderful daughter who was diagnosed with iritis almost 2 years ago. I was seekinginformation about this condition because I had never heard of it and found not many people had.
I've had chronic iritis/uvietis in my right eye since 1984. I'd like to find out if there are any new treatments.
I have had…and currently have raging iritis. It is a hard disease for others to understand. The frustration and pain is unique.
I have had Iritis for over a year now. I'm afraid that I'll never see the end of this, so I'd like to learn about everything I can.
I currently have Iritis for the first time. How do I cope with this horrible pain. I can't go anywhere, I can't even look at this computer screen with my iritis eye.
Good afternoon. My name is Mary, age 59 female, and I was just diagnosed w/Iritis yesterday and decided to research the condition beyond what my doctor told me which was primarily just the name. I did a search on the Dogpile search engine and looked around, naturally misspelling the word.
I almost immediately (sp) ran into the word autoimmune and that's what I'm wondering about also. Basically, I'm trying to figure how to combat it other than the Prednisone that I was prescribed. Looks like I may get some answers here, thxs in advance and any nfo appreciated.
I am a 39 year old registered nurse who has had this diagnosis for 4 years. I've had the pleasure of a flare up once or twice a year until 12/05. I now have it in both eyes and have just had to have steroids injected into both eyes.
I am looking for any info - Has anyone been to the Mayo? My iritis is idiopathic - going to a "new doctor" for second visit on the 26th.
I've had Iritis in my left eye about 5 years now. I'm getting used to seeing with only one eye. My left eye is like looking through water with black strings floating in it.
I am a 28 yr old who has been dealing with Iritis since I was 16. Iritis has basically caused me to be blind in my left eye. I would love to connect with young people with this disease! I often feel pretty lonely since I don't know anyone who has Iritis. Anyone in San Francisco?!
My daughter had iritis 6 years ago and was just diagnosed with it again today.
My name is Melanie and my iritis onset in Dec. 2000. I have other autoimmune diseases as well. I've been on Lotemax drops, PredForte drops, oral NSAIDs and TobraDex gel. I have flares fairly often now, but had fewer when I was taking systemic medicine for my rheumatoid arthritis. I've been off of those meds for a few years due to pregnancy and breastfeeding and have been on drops every day instead. Hormonal changes are a big trigger for me. My eyes seem to be the most sensitive, typically flaring before my joints are GI system does. I also avoid milk as someone else suggested. I'm interested in other treatment options since I've been on drops for going on 8 years.
I joined the group at yahoo a year or 3 ago. I obviously havnt spent much time there. Have had an awful lot going on. I care for my husband. He had a Major Heart Attack and Massive stroke two years ago this coming may. He is doing well at this time, actually much better than we ever expected him to.
The first time i had iritis really took me by surprise! I had spent the day at a photo album work shop and had been cutting and clipping photos and pictures when I started feeling like something was in my eye. By about 1 a.m. I was hurting so bad, I woke up my husband ahd had him take me to the ER. Had a follow up visit with a pedatric opthomoligist. Dont know why they sent me to a kid Dr. but it was ok… The second time it happened was last may. My husband was unable to drive at that time and we were on a vacation trip. He is retired now since the stroke so we had an open end vacation. After visiting Carls Bad Cavern I started feeling like my eye was dring out. Thought maybe because we were enjoying the weather with the windows and sunroof open. The next morning when I woke up I knew I had a problem. After a trip to the ER at Alamagordo NM, we made it a long layover there until My eye healed up enough for me to continue driving. We really wanted to see white sands nat park. Lucky for me it was very cloudy when we went there. Ok, back to the iritis… did a follow up with my family practice Dr, who sent me to an opthomologist. He stressed to me that if itever happens again, to get to the opthomologist first so he can run blood work and such on me.
Since that time, I have found one that I really like and have seen him twice for regular eye exams. I just saw him wednesday last week and he said no signs of iritis. Looking good. but he stressed again how important it is for me to get to him next time it happens. For some reason, this always happens to me on a weekend. Sunday I called his office and got an answering service. I was called back by an intern and told to meet her at the office. She was on call and came in, unlocked the place just for me. She confirmed it was definately iritis. Gave me some steroid drops and drops to dilate the eye. The next day (yesterday) I phoned in to the Dr office. I actually called 3 times, and eventually got through to his secretary. She said he would be calling me back… Its my understanding that he would be ordering some blood work up and test as soon as the iritis begins. Well, I am concerned now because I didnt hear from him yet. I am doing the steroid drops every hour and the dilation 4 times a day. I dont know how long to continue these or when to taper down the steroid. Im going to call his office again today.
I wonder if this can be triggered by stress? seems everything can be. I dont lke the list of possible causes for it. And I am trying not to worry, but you have to admidt, the list of things than cause it is a long ugly list.
Thats my introduction and my condition right now.
I've had iritis/uvietis for 23 years mostly kept in check by drops etc. My Doc has always had me on a certain drop schedule until he sees me and decides it's ok to step it down. Some people get iritis and it goes away forever and some people like me have it and it stays.
I only have it in one eye and contrary to what you are probably reading it's associated with no underlying disease, idiopathic. Get a really good pair of sunglasses which keep out all UV rays and cover your eyes as completely as possible. Wind and light can make it worse. Keep yourself well rested and hopefully your Doc will give you drops to use on your own when you flare up until you can see him. No blood test has ever shown anything on me no matter if I'm having a flare up or not so you can kinda relax on that score. It's not so bad.
I received a call from my Dr.s Receptionist today. They set me up with an appointment with another opthomoligist that has more of a specielty with iritis/uvitis. My appt is March 4th. Thats 2 weeks out. Hope the drops I am using last that long. Not sure how I feel about this. I expected a little quicker attention. But I suppose I cant die from it. can I???
The next day (yesterday) I phoned in to the Dr office. I actually called 3 times, and eventually got through to his secretary. She said he would be calling me back… Its my understanding that he would be ordering some blood work up and test as soon as the iritis begins. Well, I am concerned now because I didnt hear from him yet. I am doing the steroid drops every hour and the dilation 4 times a day. I dont know how long to continue these or when to taper down the steroid. Im going to call his office again today.
I would make sure your drops last, if they don't call your old Doc for a refill until you can gert to new Doc. Kind of glad you are going to a new Doctor from the sounds of it. Probably won't be any problems but if you get a sudden migraine or really bad headache call your new Doctor so they can check the pressure in your eye.
Opthamologists around here can be a bit of a wait. It'll probably just give your eye time to calm down.

Film Reviews	 September 30, 2019
Dumped [Larguées] — Alliance Française French Film Festival 2019, Palace Cinemas, March–April 2019
Two sisters (Camille Cottin, Allied; and Camille Chamoux, The Starry Sky Above Me) who could hardly be less alike undertake a mission to rescue their mother's (Miou-Miou, Populaire) zest for life after their father dumps her for a much younger woman. Their mother, maudlin and closed to life's possibilities, only reluctantly goes with her daughters to a resort set in a tropical paradise. It's here that they hope to cheer her up in the approach to her 60th birthday, and to infuse her with visions of a brighter future. And when one sister grasps an opportunity to boost their mother's self-confidence by encouraging a resort employee to dance and flirt with her, she sets in motion a potential heartbreak.
Naturally, each well-meaning act of deceit escalates the disastrous consequences, and pretty-much everything that could go wrong does go wrong.
Despite the tropical resort's fake glamour, the beauty of the setting only adds to the film's charm, and even in this contrived environment, real life, with its real dramas, plays out. The plot highlights the wisdom that depends on life experience; the trouble with assumptions; the various forms that loss takes; and the ability of good-heartedness to ultimately triumph over indifference and abandonment.
This truly feel-good movie, excellently cast across the board, is, despite its sometimes serious subject matter, consistently lighthearted, often funny, and always visually interesting, and is worth a look on the big screen.

Most people don't need a law degree to know that it's a gross abuse of power for the president of the United States to get on the phone with the leader of another country and ask the guy to investigate a political rival, and to imply that if the probe doesn't happen, military aid will be withheld. (According to the whistle-blower complaint, White House lawyers knew this too, which is why they allegedly "directed" officials to "remove the electronic transcript from the computer system in which such transcripts are typically stored" and load the transcript "into a separate electronic system that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information of an especially sensitive nature.") Then you have legal scholar Donald Trump. For the past week, he's insisted that his conversation with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky was "perfectly fine and respectful." And on Friday, in the midst of yet another full-fledged meltdown, he claimed that asking a foreign power to dig up dirt on a political rival such that it could affect the presidential election is perfectly legal, too.
Ranting that journalist Peter Baker of "the Failing New York Times" shouldn't be allowed to write about him because he "wrote a book about Obama," Trump shrieked: "I had a simple and very nice call with with the new President of Ukraine, it could not have been better or more honorable, and the Fake News Media and Democrats, working as a team, have fraudulently made it look bad. It wasn't bad, it was very legal and very good. A continuing Witch Hunt!"
It was not his only pearl of wisdom of the morning. Others included:
A call for Rep. Adam Schiff to resign:

All-caps quoting himself:
A deranged fever dream:
More Schiff:
The "logic" that if you can't ask a foreign leader to meddle in a U.S. election, you should just call it a day:

I am trying to learn BOUML/UML on Fedora 20, where BOUML v4.21 is in official repository. After 6 hours playing with BOUML, creating various blocks, FSMs and other stuff I had saved project and fall asleep.
/home/name/BOUMLproject/128130 cannot be opened for read, retry?
I found out that the project directory is missing the file "128130" and it only contains "128130.diagram" file (and other files with different names).
Can anybody help me please to reopen the project? I would appreciate it a lot.
Sorry but I do not manage anymore the versions before the 5.0, however I do not remember a bug in the save in general (independently of the Linux distribution) c.f http://www.bouml.fr/historic_old.html. Did you saved your project while your disk was full ?
No, the disk possesses a plenty of free space.
Or I can send you the project, you can look at it, but it is a bit messy project.

New life for farm truck in Mexico
Aaron Hinks
Jan 08, 2013 • January 8, 2013 • 2 minute read
Three members of the Victory Church on the Rock will be hitting the road to Ensenada, Mexico Thursday in a 1979 Chevrolet C20 pickup that has been refurbished and will find new life with a pastor there.
With donated help, the church was able to refurbish the beat up vehicle, which was being used as a farm truck near Grande Prairie
"We put a lot of work into that truck," said Jason McFarlane, who will be making the trip.
"We did a bunch of body work, repainted the whole thing, took off the box, replaced all the corner panels, went though the transmission and engine, replaced the fuel lines and break lines, put in a new stereo, everything."
The truck will include donated custom toolboxes, which will double as benches. All of the work and parts for the truck were donated by several businesses throughout the city.
This is the fourth vehicle that Victory Church has donated to individuals in Mexico.
"We have to reach beyond ourselves, that's the main thing," said Victory Church pastor Paul Juss. "The work in our city is really important, the work in our region is very important. We teach our people that we need to reach at home, but we need to reach to our nation and we need to reach beyond our nation as well.
"This is a way of reaching beyond our nation."
The truck will be donated to Pastor Israel Sandoval, his wife Vicky and two children in Ensenada. The pastor is greatly involved with finding orphans a home; the truck will help the pastor continue his service.
"A lot of what's happening in the Third World now is not so much starting orphanages, but locating orphans and abused children and getting them into homes and then supporting the home. It just makes more sense because it gives them a mom and a dad if they don't have a family," Juss said.
Juss is flying to Mexico and McFarlane, accompanied by Craig King and Sheldon Arends, will drive the vehicle to the destination.
"We're going to be taking all three of us down in a regular cab truck," McFarlane laughed. "It should be interesting 3,500 kilometres later, but it's well worth it."
Juss is flying down to be a part of the exchange, but he is also organizing a workshop to train leadership
"While we're down there we're going to be training team leaders. We really have a vision for touching not only Grande Prairie, but touching nations. So we're training team leaders," Juss said.
The pastor who will receive the vehicle also runs a landscaping business and as such the vehicle will be loaded with landscaping tools before it's driven down south.

WELCOME TO eHEAT IRELAND
ABOUT EHI
eHeat Ireland (EHI) is a member trade association established in 2021 to accelerate the decarbonisation of heat through electrification.
The association is an all-Ireland body led by industry experts who are committed to promoting the use of renewable electricity to generate decarbonised heat as an economically viable alternative to fossil fuels.
We want to encourage the use of electric heat 'eHeat' and to create awareness for how deployment of the technology can support achievement of the 2030 Climate Action targets through emissions reduction and optimised use of renewable electricity.
Our members include end users, service providers, utility companies and technology companies. We have common interest in decarbonising heat and we want to campaign for changes within the Irish system that ensure a level playing field for eHeat versus fossil fuels.
Our 2021 Climate Action Plan aims to increase the share of renewable electricity to up to 80% by 2030. Driven by this ambition the power sector is transforming electricity supply into an increasingly low carbon source of energy. EHI want to encourage business to use this clean electricity to generate heat, which will achieve substantive emissions reduction within the sectors and will also optimise the use of our indigenous, renewable resources.
EHI is a community of learning, which offers members access to an extensive knowledge base of eHeat technology expertise, operational experience and international best practice frameworks such as the Science Based Targets (SBTs) and the established Scope 1,2 & 3 framework on CO2 emissions.
Funded by our members, EHI supports research to strengthen the case for government policy and regulation to facilitate faster deployment of eHeat technologies in Ireland. Through the single voice of the EHI we engage with key stakeholders such as DETE, DECC, CRU, ESB Networks, EirGrid, SEAI, to lobby for change that will ensure eHeat becomes a competitive alternative to fossil fuels .

This pioneer research focused on assessments of the performance of liberal parties as junior partners in coalition governments in Norway, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The country surveys are mainly based on extensive interviews conducted in October 2016 by Uwe Johannen, a free lance consultant from Germany, with interlocutors from liberal parties and a few external analysts from think tanks, the media and social sciences. The statements of party interlocutors reflect the internal views of a variety of current or former party leaders, a prime minister and a deputy prime minister, cabinet ministers, coalition negotiators, parliamentarians, cabinet chiefs of staff, party presidents, members of party boards, top advisors, heads of party organizations and press staff, national campaign managers. As additional sources the consultant assessed the respective coalition agreements and annexes, party documents as well as coalition-related articles and comments in the media.

La Primavera Rosa
Written on July 15, 2016 by Campus Life in Social
On 16 June IEOut welcomed Rafa and Alfonso, the producer and cinematographer of La Primavera Rosa, a series of short documentaries on LGBT life around the world, to show their films at IE. With the ultimate goal of traveling to many more countries, and their next sight on Brazil, the series currently consists of exposes on the hardships young LGBTs face in Tunisia, Russia, and Mexico.
Seen as the first instalment of IEOut's "LGBT Life Around the World" series, which aims to bring the IE community firsthand accounts of what is it like for LGBTs everywhere, especially in developing countries, the Primavera Rosa project tells the passionate and inspiring stories of young people in Tunisia, Russia, and Mexico.
We welcomed 20 people to the event and had the pleasure to have Rafa from Creta Productions present the pieces and tell us more about their organization and how they want to expose for the world what is happening to LGBT communities around the world. Directed by Mario de la Torre, who was nominated for a Goya in 2009, who says he was inspired by the Arab spring of 2010 to tell the stories of those who aren't usually covered in the mass media.
The project has won the prize for best film of human rights in the International Invisible Cinema Festival in 2015 and best short documentary at LesGaiCineMadrid in 2015.
In question and answer sessions after each short film, the audience was able to directly ask Rafa and Alfonso what their experience was like being received in these countries as well as their thoughts on the evolution of LGBT rights around the world.
We also have codes available for those in the IE community who wish to watch the documentaries online. Please contact us via Facebook and we are happy to share these beatifically made films with you. (https://www.facebook.com/IEOut/)

The full form of VOIP is voice transmission over the Internet. It is the system that enables us to transmit voice over internet or data lines. Companies that use external calls are continuously using VoIP technology. If a company chooses a fixed line for tens of different branches and hundreds of different departments within the company, then it needs to pay a massive amount as telephone bill.
However, when VoIP service is purchased from companies that offer VoIP services over the existing internet infrastructure, it becomes easier for them to reduce the call cost and conduct business communications promptly. VoIP service also relieves the employees of the cable clutter. So, what are the major benefits of using VOIP phone system? Let's find out.
The management internal numbers and external lines on a VOIP system is carried out using a web interface. So, you can manage telephony via the Internet from anywhere in the network. The management of a VOIP system is dedicated to internal number, a group of numbers, all users of the company or the whole complex of telephony. The telephone control server is able to work both over the Internet and over a wired network. To access the web-based management interface, you must have the address or domain name, login and password of the company's administrator, city numbers and ports – a virtual display of the phone. A VOIP system is easy to configure and reliable.
VoIP solutions help you to upgrade conventional telephony at a low cost. The use of free applications such as Skype and TeamViewer can be very unreliable when you conduct business at a professional level. If you run a call centre, you can't afford even a slight deterioration in the quality of voice transmission. The traditional alternative can be quite expensive as you have to maintain your own hardware and backup system. VOIP Software is a solution to the dilemma as it helps you to reduce phone bills, acquire acquisition flexibility on demand, get unified communication solutions without hiring their own team of telephony experts.
In business, from time-to-time, you have to send emergency messages to clients to get the work done. Monitoring emergency messages include detecting and storing such messages about events and conditions that accompanied their occurrence. VoIP solutions facilitate the autonomous reporting of all emergency signals, request to report all registered emergency signals and allows you to enable/disable autonomous reporting of all emergency signals.
Video conferencing is a modern and effective way of communication used by all modern organisations to optimize business activities, find new employees, train the existing staff, communicate with clients and customers and perform several other useful tasks.
A well-chosen VoIP solution influences the quality of the work performed and improves the team's results. Employees of companies where a video conferencing system is being implemented can communicate with each other anytime and from anyplace.
It reduces the time for discussion, coordination and implementation of many activities that require consultation or expert support. It not only improves communication between employees but also provides an excellent communication tool within the entire company. It has now successfully replaced the regular meetings of the Board of Directors.
Often, customers want simple information that does not require operator participation at all. For example- some kind of announcement, tariffs for services, etc. This information can be recorded as an automatic voice message and played to customers and transfer the conversation to the operator if necessary. So, you can assume that A voice menu (IVR) is a pre-recorded voice message system that performs the function of routing telephone calls using client dial tone commands. It helps customers to hear informational announcements and act accordingly.
If your business depends on the smooth operation of IT services, then it is necessary to foresee all risks, including those associated with the work stoppage of the data centre. If your business should not stand idle even in case of force majeure situation, the simultaneous use of several geographically dispersed data centres will be the best solution.
Always keep in mind that the variant with load distribution across data centres often gives a noticeable performance gain if you have units in different countries. Roughly speaking, the infrastructure part of the IT system consists of its physical components and its failure can cause downtime of all business processes.
Fortunately, modern equipment (such as VoIP solution) ensures uninterrupted operation of the infrastructure even in case of failure of individual elements. A VoIP solution can provide fault tolerance with built-in tools. Only a few people use these tools because setting up these functions is usually much more complicated than providing basic functionality.
Due to a number of attractive features, VOIP Phone System is gaining popularity with each passing day. Judge for yourself- low cost of implementation and operation, unlimited scalability, cheap long-distance and international calls, voice menu, short numbers, etc. So, we can assume that modern communication technologies are developing at a frantic pace, and their use is even faster. One call and you can talk to anyone and whenever you want it. VOIP Phone System facilitates instant communication services to companies, help them retain more clients, and take their business to a new level through effecting communication.

School-from-home days, longer fall break highlight Hall County Schools proposed 2019-20 calendar
Schofield
Updated: Nov. 13, 2018, 7:36 p.m.
The proposed 2019-20 academic year calendar for Hall County Schools includes two days for school-from-home study as officials continue to support education through new means and sources of content.
The calendar, which the board of education will vote on at its next meeting, Monday, Nov. 26, also includes an extra day (three instead of two) during fall break.
If approved, students would begin school on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2019, and finish on May, 22, 2020.
The proposed calendar comes at a time when a Georgia Senate study committee has been meeting to evaluate how a shift to a later start date would impact students and families, regional economies that depend on the tourism and hospitality industries, and the interests of local school districts.
Proposed Hall school calendar
Officials with both Hall County and Gainesville City school systems have said that it's important that local districts have the flexibility to design their school calendars around their individual community needs.
For example, Hall County Schools has utilized school-from-home days that are not required by any state or federal education mandates, and has included courses in media bias, personal finance, CPR, first aid and bicycle safety.
A focus on the U.S. Constitution, an ongoing effort that includes an entire week recognizing local efforts to educate students on the country's founding principles, has also been included in school-from-home curriculum.
"I'm the last one to figuratively and literally come on board with (the school-from-home) initiative," said Hall County Schools Superintendent Will Schofield.
But the results so far have the "old guy believing in it," Schofield added.
In February, Hall County tracked participation among students in the digital learning courses, with 63 percent of elementary students, 78 percent of middle schoolers and 66 percent of high schoolers completing some of the coursework.
At the end of a five-day period to engage in the coursework, 85 percent of middle schoolers and 79 percent of high schoolers partially completed the work.
And at the end of a 10-day period for elementary students, 90 percent had completed some of the coursework.
During a school-from-home day in September, 98 percent of high school students in the district logged into the district's learning portal LaunchPoint to work on assignments developed at the classroom and individual school level.
In October, 97 percent of high school students logged in during a school-from-home day.
The growth in online learning, and the available opportunities for online college and university studies, compelled school officials to spotlight these efforts in developing a proposed calendar.
"We really have an obligation, we believe, to expose kids to this kind of learning," Schofield said. "So we're moving with the times."

AI Dungeon's creators are launching an experimental AI-powered game platform
December 19, 2021 In Uncategorized By Adi Robertson
Latitude, the startup behind text game AI Dungeon, is expanding into a new artificial intelligence-powered game platform called Voyage. The company announced the closed beta on Friday, opening a waitlist for current AI Dungeon users. It's the next step for a company that began with a university hackathon project, but that ultimately hopes to help other people create their own games using trained AI models.
AI Dungeon, which launched as AI Dungeon 2 in 2019, is powered by OpenAI's GPT-2 and GPT-3 text generation algorithms. To start, you generate some introductory text or write your own adventure setup. Then you can enter any command you want and a Dungeons & Dragons-style virtual game master will improvise some text describing the…


Dorion-Gray Capital Management® Weekly Commentary September 18, 2017 | Dorion-Gray Retirement Planning, Inc.
Wall Street achieved record highs on Friday as the S&P 500 crossed the 2,500 point threshold as telecommunications shares rose and technology stocks recovered after two days of declines. For the week, the Dow rose 2.19 percent to close at 22,268.31. The S&P gained 1.63 percent to finish at 2,500.23, and the NASDAQ rose 1.39 percent to end the week at 6,448.47.
10 Positive Months – The S&P 500 gained 0.3 percent (total return) in August 2017, its 10th consecutive positive month. The last time the S&P 500 had a streak this long was the 10 consecutive months that ended in September 1995 (source: BTN Research).
Missing Out – Every income group reporting up to $200,000 of household income has a participation percentage in the stock market of 40% or less. For example, only 40% of American households reporting between $100,000-$199,999 of income invest in the stock market, while the percentage falls to just 20% for households reporting $50,000-$74,999 of income (source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).
October, Best and Worst - The three best gain days (by percentage) for the S&P 500 in the last 67+ years (i.e., dating back to Jan. 1950) all occurred during October. Five of the seven largest loss days (by percentage) for the S&P 500 over the same time period occurred during the month of October (source: BTN Research).
Lower tax bills, regardless of income or age. While there are income and age limits to contribute to traditional IRAs and income limits to contribute to individual Roth IRAs, if you are still employed, you can contribute the maximum amount allowed to your employer's 401(k) irrespective of your income level or your age. For 2017, this means you can contribute $18,000 if you're under 50 or $24,000 if you are 50 or older.
Postpone RMDs. With no exceptions, required minimum distributions must begin from a traditional IRA when you reach age 70½. But as long as you are still working for the company that sponsors your 401(k), are considered an employee (even if you're working nominal hours) and don't own more than 5 percent of the company, you will not be required to take RMDs from your 401(k).
Take earlier penalty-free withdrawals. Although there is typically a penalty for IRA or 401(k) withdrawals before age 59½, you may take a penalty-free withdrawal from a 401(k) if you are 55 or older and retire or leave your employer.
Contribute to a Roth, regardless of income. You can contribute to an individual Roth IRA only if your modified adjusted gross income falls below the legal limit. However, more employers are offering Roth 401(k) options. Like a traditional 401(k), there are no income limits for salary deferrals.
Take a loan. While it should be a last resort, you may be able to borrow from your 401(k) if your plan includes a loan provision. If it does, you will likely be required to pay it back in fairly equal payments, including interest, within five years.


Not many activities match the thrill of camping. Through camping, you can see and feel every aspect of nature. So find a great destination, prepare yourself well and get outside to enjoy the world of camping!

Governor Brown Signs Paid Family Leave Bill Into Law
By Efren Zamudio on August 9, 2019 Living
PORTLAND — Surrounded by legislators, advocacy groups, community members — and quite a few little ones — Governor Kate Brown today signed House Bill 2005 into law, the nation's most progressive paid family and medical leave policy.
"I have been working on this issue in some form or another for my entire public service career, " said Governor Brown. "Oregon families no longer need to make the difficult choice between paying the rent and staying home with their newborn, or between chemotherapy and keeping food on the table."
Under HB 2005, every Oregon worker will have access to family and medical leave insurance benefits. Workers will receive up to 12 weeks of paid time off that can be used to care for a new baby, recover from a serious illness, or support newly adopted or foster children. It also provides paid time off for victims of domestic violence and guarantees 100% of wages to low-income workers.
What Will It Cover?
The program can cover up to 100% of a worker's wages, ensuring that families that rely on each and every dollar in a paycheck do not have to worry while they nurture a child, take care of a loved one, or recover from domestic violence.
Benefits are capped at $1,215, ensuring all low-income Oregonians receive 100% of their wages while they are on family or medical leave.
Paid family leave is a huge step in the right direction to ensure that families can put in the time that is critical to care for newborns and their early childhood development. In terms of taking care of a family member, without a program such as this, many Oregonians would be in the impossible situation of choosing whether to care for a family member or work to feed their family.
"The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world that does not provide paid maternity leave to working mothers. 3 out of 4 dads take less than one week of leave after the birth of a new child. Nearly 60 percent of low-income fathers take zero weeks of paid leave. Families deserve to have time to love and care for each other," said Governor Brown.
The family medical leave insurance benefits program will launch in 2023 as state agencies roll out an implementation plan for the process. The Oregon Employment Department will administer the program, and funds for the program will be raised by a small payroll tax shared by employees and their employers. Once the program launches and an eligible employee submits an application and is approved by the Employment Department, the bill mandates that the department must make reasonable efforts to issue first payment within two weeks of it being approved.
