"Do these agents have any human understanding that ostomates have these appliances because they have had cancer and the appliances are the aftermath of a battle that was won!" Thomas D. "Tom" Sawyer, a retired special education teacher, posted Monday to the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network online support group on Inspire.com. "I happen to wear mine with pride but I am also very private about it. The last thing I needed or wanted was to have urine leak in an airport and feel that all the world was looking at me."
Monday afternoon, Sawyer got a phone call from TSA Administrator John Pistole.
"He apologized and asked what I thought should be done," an exhausted Sawyer tweeted to his Twitter followers. "Our message was heard in Washington D.C….My job is done."
Sawyer encountered what mental health experts call micro-aggression: "an act or a situation in which a person in more power subjects a person in less power to either an assault or an insult. They're very cumulative," said psychologist Rhoda Olkin, a professor at the California School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco. They also can lead to depression and anxiety.
""The micro-aggressions that happen to people with disabilities are so ubiquitous," Olkin said in an interview with ABC News. "Now to have it when you travel, at such an egregious level, makes just one more place where you're really disadvantaged."
TSA's website states its official position on handling sensitive medical cases: "Security officers should not be asking you to remove your orthopedic shoes, appliances or medical device (insulin pump, feeding tube, ostomy or urine bag, or exterior component of cochlear implant) at any time during the screening process… Advise the Security Officer if you have an ostomy bag or urine bag. You will not be required to expose these devices for inspection."
Yet, on Nov. 7, Sawyer was en route from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., when a TSA agent performed a pat-down that broke the seal on Sawyer's urine bag, allowing urine to run down his shirt, pants and leg. Sawyer said he tried to warn the agent to be careful with the device, but his words were ignored. He was left with wet urine stains on his clothing. "I was so embarrassed and so petrified of going out into the airport and people would see me and 'smell me.'" Sawyer said.
"I can honestly say this was one of the worst days of my life."
Amy Ascher Linde, an Atlanta mother and businesswoman who was born without a left hand and has worn a prosthetic since she was 11, has been through similar humiliations almost every time she's flown since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The episodes have been demeaning, infuriating "and take your breath away." The psychological discomfort lingers, and the loss of dignity is unnecessary, she said.
When she arrived at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport for a business trip soon after 9/11, dressed in just a suit jacket and pants, TSA agents tried to get her to remove the jacket and pulled up her sleeve to see where the artificial hand attached to her arm. She kept telling them: "I can't take this off; I'm going to be naked," as they pressed on. Had another Girl Scout mother from her troop not been nearby, "I would have broken down and just cried."
Last winter, she and two friends were taking a 50th birthday ski trip when TSA agents in Denver wanted her to go through a special scanner. She'd previously found the experience painful, because agents twisted her arm to get four different views of the prosthesis. So, this time, instead of going through the imaging machine, she offered to remove the artificial arm in a private room.
A TSA agent came in "with one of those gray trays" used to X-ray carry-ons, laptops and shoes, and left with her prosthesis. "I cannot tell you how my stomach felt – I thought the whole purpose of going into the screening room was for the privacy, not to have them take my prosthesis somewhere else. They don't dismantle people who have arms and take their limbs elsewhere. You don't have to check your arm at the door. To me, this is my arm."
"It makes you shake. It makes you become irrational. It makes me angry – the lack of control."
Humiliation has been identified as a cause or contributor to many psychosocial illnesses, "and can lead to anger, at times violence and uncooperative behavior," said Dr. Amir Afkhami, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
There hasn't been as much research on the effects of short-lived humiliation, but Afkhami said what Sawyer and Bossi experienced is comparable to the shame and humiliation some patients feel during medical visits "because their defects and inadequacies and shortcomings are exposed." Just as they may avoid doctors, they might similarly stop flying to avoid exposing medical defects to a TSA employee.
One of the highest-profile cases has been that of breast cancer survivor Cathy Bossi, a flight attendant with 32 years of service, who was told to remove her breast prosthesis during a pat-down at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. A female TSA agent "put her full hand on my breast and said, 'what's this?' I said, 'It's a prosthesis because I've had breast cancer,'" Bossi recalled. "And she said, 'You'll need to show me that.'" Bossi said the incident was too horrific to report at the time, although she subsequently contacted the flight attendants' union.
Afkhami said these stories provide a valuable teachable moment for the TSA.
"If there's a takeaway from a psychiatrist's perspective to folks in the TSA, it is to be mindful that this is a humiliating and potentially shameful experience for patients. The first step in reducing that is to acknowledge that experience to the traveler undergoing that degree of scrutiny, to be apologetic about it, to show they empathize with what they're going through – to make it as un-intrusive as possible," Afkhami said.
Linde, the Atlanta flier, said she wondered why anyone would repeatedly single her out for extra security: "I will never be who they're looking for. I'm a middle-aged woman with three kids with a weekend bag. Any time they spend on me, they're not getting to the problem. I'm not a threat to anybody. I'm 107 pounds with one arm. Who am I going to hurt?
+Question of the Day: Should TSA Change Procedures?


Effective fire detection and fire alarms systems are a key component of fire risk management for any commercial, public or multi-occupancy premises.
Fire regulations require businesses to be able to provide evidence that their system is for purpose and is designed, installed, commissioned and maintained in accordance with the relevant British Standards by a competent contractor.
Fire certificates are no longer issued by the Fire and Rescue Services. The emphasis is now placed on the responsible person designated by the owner or occupier of every relevant property, to conduct a fire risk assessment.
Where a fire detection and alarm system is required, the onus is on the responsible person to be able to prove it is fit for purpose.
The systems we install can be linked to the alarm systems monitoring device to contact the key holders and fire service in the event of an activation.
Get in touch with us today about installing a fire alarms system by contacting us on our form!
It is reported that fewer people die in a home fire when a fire alarm or detector is present in the household.
In 40% of home fire cases, there was no fire alarm installed into the home at all.
In 2006-2009, almost two thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in the homes of people without fire alarms or no fire alarm at all.
In fires considered large enough to activate a fire alarm, battery-powered fire alarms only operate 77% of the time.
Half of the smoke alarms found in reported fires and two-thirds of the alarms found in homes with fire deaths were powered by batteries only.
A fire alarm cuts the risk of harm in reported home fires by nearly half.
Do I Need A Fire Alarm System In My Home?
For a domestic property a full fire alarm system is not necessary however you must have adequate fire alarm detection installed to alert you of a fire. These can be in the form of smoke or heat detectors that are linked together either by 230V mains or via an alarm system. We can then connect these devices via your monitoring equipment so that when the devices activate, the fire authority and key holders are notified.
We also install carbon monoxide detection in a similar way.
For a commercial property the law states that a working fire alarm system is required but what type will depend on the fire risk assessment carried out by a competent person.
There are four different types of fire alarm system, conventional, addressable, analogue addressable and wireless systems. Which type you require will again be decided by the fire alarm risk assessment that we can carry out for you.
Please visit www.firesafe.org.uk for a more comprehensive guide to free advice and our fire alarm systems.
Will My Fire Alarm System Be Monitored?
We can set up monitoring on a fire alarm system much the same as an intruder alarm system. When the heat/smoke device is triggered it will activate the control panel, which can then be linked to a Dualcom monitoring device. Key holders and the fire authority will then be contacted.
Do I Need To Have The Fire Detection Devices Serviced?
Yes. Domestic units should be checked every month, including tenanted properties. Commercial properties should be checked daily for faults and a weekly test of manual call points and devices should be completed. On top of that a full service is required once a year to check every device by a qualified installer as well as a fire evacuation test carried out.
Do We Carry Out Service Visits And Offer Takeovers For Existing Systems?
Yes we service the system we have installed regularly and also offer 'takeovers' of third party system. A full health check and service is carried out on the initial visit to ensure the system is working correctly and to meets the correct standard.

WAVERLY – A No. 4 ranking in the Class 1A girls basketball state poll and a No. 1 seed in the regional was status hard-earned by the Southwestern Piasa Birds.
But since Kelsey Rhoades' season-ending knee injury seven games ago, Birds coach Steve Wooley concedes those numbers may come with an asterisk.
"Coming in, most people see us as a No. 1 seed," Wooley said. "But I think we were an underdog 1 seed."
But Southwestern looked very much the favorite Thursday night, never trailing in a 43-34 victory over the Carlinville Cavaliers in the championship game of the Waverly Class 2A Regional.
The Birds, avenging an 11-point loss to Carlinville in the title game of the Macoupin County Tournament in Gillespie on Jan. 24, improve to 28-3 while claiming their 12th regional title in the last 15 years.
"Really proud of the kids," Wooley said. "They all came together. We've had six, seven games where we could get a little more comfortable without Kelsey. And Kelsey's been great, pushing kids, talking to kids. Just really proud of this group."
Southwestern advances to the Williamsville Sectional and a semifinal at 6 p.m. Monday against 27-3 Athens. The Birds beat Athens 48-28 on Nov. 21 in the Pana Tournament. Pleasant Plains (19-8) meets Litchfield (28-2) in Monday's second semifinal.
The Birds are 3-0 against the sectional field, beating Litchfield 44-31 on Dec. 18 and Plains 51-31 on Dec. 20 in games at Piasa. But Southwestern's only concern Thursday was Carlinville.
"When that buzzer went off, I felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders," Birds junior Maddy Greeling said. "We've worked so hard and we've earned this. I'm just so proud of my team tonight."
Greeling scored 20 points – giving her the first 600-point season in the program's history – while making 8 of 13 shots from the field.
"I don't think it's any secret, she's a tremendous player," Carlinville coach Darrin DeNeve said of Greeling. "I don't know her personally, but she always seems like such a great kid and a good competitor."
Carlinville, as it did when splitting two regular-season games with Southwestern, used a box-and-one defense designed to contain Greeling. That followed the Cavs' script last time out, with the Birds going 9-for-51 from the field – including 3 of 24 from the arc — in their last meeting in Gillespie and Carlinville was never in serious peril.
But with senior Ashlyn Ringhausen knocking down her first two shots from 3-point range Thursday, the Birds found points early from sources other than Greeling.
"We had to experiment a little bit," Wooley said. "What looks good against our JV doesn't necessarily look good against Carlinville. But we found a couple things we got some shots with."
Ringhausen finished with nine points, Karlie Green scored six and Erin Laubscher added five for Southwestern. The Birds shot 42 percent (16 of 38) from the field, but again struggled from the arc at 3-for-14.
Southwestern led by as many as nine points (17-8) in the second quarter before settling for a 19-13 halftime lead. Carlinville drew within 30-27 late in the third quarter, but would get no closer.
Talesha Scott and Megan Stayton each scored 11 points and Kathleen Kelly chipped in nine for the Cavaliers. Those three seniors combined for all but three of Carlinville's points.
"Twenty-four wins, 45 in the last two years, back-to-back county championships," DeNeve said of a team that starts four seniors and features a pair of 1,000-point career scorers in Scott and Stayton. "These girls have grown as players and people. I wouldn't want to coach a different group."
The Cavaliers made 44 percent (14 of 32) of their shots from the field. They were 2 of 4 from 3-point range and 4 of 11 from the foul line. Carlinville made 10 turnovers to six for Southwestern.
Stayton's putback off an offensive rebound brought the Cavs with 35-31 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Birds' ability to spread the court with Greeling and Ringhausen dictating terms produced a game-closing 8-3 Southwestern run started by Green's layup off a Greeling assist and 6-for-8 free-throw shooting in the game's final two minutes.
"It's tremendously difficult," DeNeve said of chasing the Birds with a late lead. "We're pretty good at playing people with some pressure at half court. But we don't see teams with four point guards very often. It's a testament to their program that they have girls with those kinds of ballhandling skills."

Doesn't it just seem like 2017 started just a day ago? Hard to imagine, but indeed we have reached the end of 2017. I still remember the start of my sophomore year. I was passionate and determined to meet all my goals for 2017. Though, in reality, some of them I was not able to achieve, I can still proudly say 2017 was a happy and pleasurable year. Of all the great 2017 moments I experienced this past year, one that comes to the forefront is the issuing of the 337th edition of The Sookmyung Times. It was the first edition that I took responsibility for the magazine as Editor-in-Chief. I took pride in my title and its publication as a result had much more meaning. With a number of changes to The Sookmyung Times compared to previous editions, I needed to consider more carefully each aspect of the magazine to avoid any unpleasant comments or mistakes with the newly modernized magazine. Indeed, it was demanding and hard work because I was unfamiliar with the responsibilities that came with my new title, so I often made mistakes at first. Despite my desire for a perfect and careful eye on typos and layout, the 337th edition still had typos and the design was not as fancy as I had hoped. Nonetheless, in spite of these regrets, I was proud to have worked with such a great team of reporters who gave it their all to produce fine work. The 337th edition may contain some mistakes, but I can honestly say, the entire process from start to publication was one of the best moments of 2017. I firmly believe that reporters and readers of The Sookmyung Times have also had shared happy moments in 2017. Treasure each of those memories and make just as many in 2018 or have an even greater year. Why not wrap up 2017 with a plan for 2018?
Though I could go on to more detail of my happy moments of 2017, in this latter half of my letter, I would like to say thank you to my dear friend, Kim Minji, Culture Section Editor of The Sookmyung Times. It's hard to believe, but we have been together for two year straight at The Sookmyung Times. All of the reporters who joined The Sookmyung Times at the same time as us are gone and we are the only two left. Minji has decided to retire from The Sookmyung Times after two years of hard work. I am sad to see her leave, but before she does, I would like to wish her a loving goodbye for all her contribution to the development of The Sookmyung Times. Fellow reporters, readers, and I wish only the best for you and success in pursuing your future goals. You will be missed at The Sookmyung Times.

Abraham Lincoln is considered among the best known of U.S. Presidents. Certainly he is famous for having been murdered, but has gathered sustained popularity to the lots of results of his living.payforessay.net/write-my-essay These accomplishments are really a popular subject matter for essays, but it is very hard to know how to begin. If youre posting an essay on this particular matter here are a few stuff to take into account. For starters, what type of results do you want to give full attention to? Lincolns measures experienced a permanent affect on our world in a variety of solutions, but his own successes happen to be also marvelous. Lincoln came from a household that struggled cash elimination, and his mum died when he became a toddler. He lacked formalised education – he wasted it could be 18 months in school – and his as soon as possible business enterprise endeavors were definitely unsuccessful. Despite everything he intelligent themselves into a advanced level and progressed into the best politician. Eventually he been able to instruct him or her self regulations good enough to move the pub check-up, and probably did so in a matter of 2 yrs.
As president, Lincolns accomplishments may be busted into several lists. Its better to observe these therefore. Lincoln developed a dislike of slavery at the start of existence, most likely inheriting it from his daddy. All the way through his politics occupation he recommended and backed a variety of charges designed stop the distribute of slavery into new Usa areas and abolish it in says where exactly it already existed. His well-known opposition to slavery was really a principal element in the secession in the Confederate Declares of United states of america in 1861 and his determination to retain the union collectively directed, through the Civil War, to the end of slavery in the united states. Eventhough his widely known Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves inside the CSA – which back then he previously had no authority more than – it productively condemned slavery even just in the northern regions whereby it failed to use.
Within the Civil Conflict Lincoln maintained his solid moral stance and was obviously a steady improve on the unions incentive to triumph the war. He was looking to dismiss ineffectual generals when needed, as as he replaced instead the timid George McClellan, and in some cases to sack an incompetent Secretary of Battle. He chosen the effectiveness of the presidency to combat the battle assertively, when choosing diplomatic measures to stop the United kingdom Business becoming taking part. Reconstruction Lincoln popular the need for rebuilding the united states right after the battle, along with the facial skin of opposition from his politics allies was adamant on very good remedy for the locals for the defeated CSA. Lincoln produced much more points on his life, which include reaffirming the necessity of the Declaration of Freedom and setting up the guidelines that this Republican Special event followed for over a hundred years once his passing away. His finest recognition is derived from his leadership in the Civil War, nonetheless, so thats where to begin the process when covering this fantastic man.


What about burden of proof? Is it guilty until proven innocent? Or innocent until proven guilty?
By the principle named 'Presumption of innocence' all suspects are presumed not- guilty until the end of the trial. And basically, public prosecutors have the burden of proof in criminal trial.


Mother Francine Cardew of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist is a legend in Portland first for founding the Franciscan Montessori Earth School (with her friend and colleague Mother Mary Michael Costello) in 1977, and then for brilliantly and creatively leading it to stability and success against epic odds. A K-12 school founded on both the work of educator Maria Montessori and Catholicism as reflected through particularly Franciscan spirituality? Impossible… but more than three decades after its founding in Southeast Portland, FMES, now K-8, welcomes 300 students a year from Oregon and Washington, exceeds Oregon educational benchmarks, and has drawn national attention for its environmentally responsible curriculum and practice. Mother Francine, still teaching a world religions class at the upper level, also still greets every child every morning, as she has done since the first day the school opened. Thousands of her students have gone on to creative careers in many fields — alumni include physicians, attorneys, musicians, artists, engineers, journalists, educators, social workers, police officers, an actor, a professional golfer, an NFL referee, and an adventurer who has circumnavigated the globe alone. But above all, as Mother Francine dearly loves to say, the School has helped shape young men and women who are confident, creative, attentive to holiness, and alert to ways they can bring their gifts to bear on a world that needs energy and creativity desperately.
Thousands of FMES alumni, and thousands of the men and women who admire University alumna Mother Francine Cardew for her grace and bony courage, join us today in celebrating the honorary doctorate of public service she most certainly deserves.

Last night, agencies and clients alike gathered in the grand Stephen's Green Hibernian Club for the announcement of the IAPI ADFX shortlist. With months of hard work and in some cases blood, sweat and tears behind us early this year, teams have been long awaiting to hear if their submissions made the cut to gain a place on the finalist list. According to Aidan Greene and Tania Banotti, IAPI's President and Chief Executive, the standard was incredibly high this year with robust effectiveness stories well told, backed up with the data to prove them and compiled in a professional and visually engaging way. This, coupled with the increase in overall submissions shows great progression for our industry, giving real purpose to what we do for and with brands.
We had submissions for two of our clients; Deep RiverRock where we told a long-term effectiveness story of brand building over 10 years and safefood Folic Acid where we overcame the stigma around taking Folic Acid and convinced this closed and difficult-to-reach audience to make Folic Acid a part of their daily routine.
With both submissions making it through to the final stage across a total of four categories, it shows the impact of true collaboration between client, media and creative agencies.
We thank our fabulous clients in Deep RiverRock and safefood and the team in Mindshare who worked closely with us on both submissions.
Best of luck to all the finalists and we look forward to the main event on 22nd September.

Robin, The Boy Wonder: A Celebration of 75 Years
So it has been with Batman and his partner in crime, Robin for seventy-five years. The Boy Wonder's spunk and color balance against the Caped Crusader's seriousness and gloom to create a perfect partnership, a Dynamic Duo.
Though Batman has always needed a Robin, it hasn't always been the same Robin. Many different crimefighters have taken up the name and costume, from jovial Dick Grayson to calculating Tim Drake to violent Damian Wayne. Each left his or her mark on the character, and today the Boy Wonder almost as recognizable and beloved as the Dark Knight himself.
Collecting stories from Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Carrie Kelley, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne and more, ROBIN THE BOY WONDER: A CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS compiles the best moments from seven decades of the Dynamic Duo. It includes Robin's first appearance by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, as well as tales from industry legends Jim Mooney, Sheldon Moldoff, Frank Miller, Chuck Dixon, Jeph Loeb, Marv Wolfman, Geoge Pérez, Jim Aparo, Grant Morrison, Andy Kubert and more.

Volvo Penta gasoline sterndrives rank highest in customer satisfaction, according to the J
Volvo Penta ranks highest in J.D. Power study
Volvo Penta gasoline sterndrives rank highest in customer satisfaction, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2005 Marine Engine Competitive Information Study (SM) released at the Miami International Boat Show.
In the past ten years, Volvo Penta has become a strong engine and propulsion provider in the U.S boating market, as a result of a very strong product and service offering.
This positive trend is evident upon reviewing the 2005 J.D. Power and Associates Marine Engine Competitive Information Study. This latest study was based on responses from 12,530 owners who registered a new boat between March 2003 and May 2004. Ten marine engine brands, including outboards, sterndrives and gasoline inboards, were included in the study.
In the study, J.D. Power queried boat owners on a variety of engine attributes including ease of starting the engine, quietness of engine at cruising speed, reliability of engine, fuel economy, amount of engine fumes, smoothness when shifting into gear, and the ability of the boat to accelerate rapidly.
The study results indicated that Volvo Penta gasoline sterndrives have the highest satisfaction score in every specific engine sub-component. Volvo Penta excelled with the reliability of their engines, which is the most important engine attribute. Additionally Volvo Penta gasoline sterndrives received particularly high ratings from owners for quietness at cruise, fuel economy, lack of engine fumes and shifting smoothness.
Volvo Penta of the Americas President Clint Moore said, "We are extremely pleased and proud to have received this award. While Volvo Penta products have always been highly regarded, the J.D.

Notes & Quotes: The Money Code by H.W. Charles
The following notes and quotes are from The Money Code: Become a Millionaire With the Ancient Jewish Code by H.W. Charles.
Jewish people view wealth as a blessing and look down on poverty because it cannot help anyone.
What you learn is useless if you don't use it.
Jews are estimated to be than 1% of the world's population yet approximately 25% of the world's billionaires are Jewish.
"Religion is an important factor in wealth accumulation, a factor that hasn't received a lot of attention." Lisa Keister
Lisa A Keister says that religion influences the accumulation of wealth directly because "it shapes values and priorities, contributes to the set of competencies from which action is constructed, and may provide important social contacts."
Through obtaining wisdom he will obtain wealth.
Wisdom is defined as the quality of having experience, and being able to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.
A wise person has knowledge, applies it, and succeeds at living well.
With great wisdom, comes great wealth and success.
You can find wisdom through practicing humility, reading books, and from interacting with others.
When you are humble, you also feel that you can learn from everyone you encounter.
In Jewish tradition, books are buried instead of being thrown away; this shows the depth of respect that Jews have for books.
Zig Ziglar, who built a wildly successful career in sales, said, "Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs."
Many Jews understand that time is more valuable than money. You can always recover money, but you can never recover time. Jews value their time and understand that it is the most precious commodity. They spend their time acquiring wisdom, acquiring wealth, or contributing to society.
Jews view wealth and success as a blessing and gift from God.
Jesus may have lacked possessions, but he had money.
Jesus taught that the problem was attachment to possessions and dependence on money rather than dependence on God.
Many schools of Greek philosophy held a belief that all physical matter was flawed. Only that which was spirit could be perfect.
[Money is a] neutral substance that can be used for good or for bad depending on who is using it and how it is used.
"Love people and use money," should be everyone's motto in life.
Poverty is the real problem.
People serve mammon when they work very hard for their money their whole life, rather than making money work hard for them.
Why is it that people bring children into the world and then leave them to be raised by strangers?
Contributing to society in a large way is the ultimate purpose of every human being and this requires time away from working just to pay the bills.
The rabbis explain that unless people's stomachs are full and satisfied, they cannot study, grow spiritually, and do good works.
Jewish texts have portrayed poverty as an unjustifiable burden.
The Talmud mentions that a poor person is considered dead (Nedarim 64).
Jews know that anyone who can't support themself or help others is hampered in what they can accomplish.
One of the most important factors that propels many Jews to success is they do not let others bring them down.
Politician Robert G Allen said, "Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and the thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand."
The Tanakh teaches that, "The diligent will rule, while the lazy will be put to forced labor" (CJB, Proverbs 12:24)
Jews believe that people are creators, not consumers.
The role of humans is to improve and perfect God's creations through creation and innovation.
Judaism does not believe in taking the natural world as it is; humans are meant to take the materials God provided and improve on them.
Successful Jews are persistent and don't let failure stop them.
Continuing failure eventually leads to success.
Write down or mentally take note of the steps of action you must take in order to achieve your goals and then take action!
Whenever you pursue a goal, it should be with complete focus.
It's better to focus on work for one hour straight, than for two hours with interruptions.
Happiness does not result from pleasure, but rather, from reaching one's goals.
When we understand that our purpose in this world is to strive toward purposeful accomplishment, precisely then will we experience happiness.
Continue at your business trying different ways of conducting it.
"In all work there is profit, but mere talk produces only poverty" (CJB, Proverbs 14:23).
Only through work it is possible to produce the results that create wealth.
Only when one loves his career and is skilled at it can he truly succeed.
Wealth is a planned result that requires productive work and dedication.
The Talmud teaches that, "One's money should always be ready to hand."
People consume too much while saving very little.
Hold back on purchasing all you desire, until you can truly afford it.
Unwise borrowing puts you in a position of servitude (Proverbs 22:7).
All actions have consequences, as do all inactions.
For every effect in one's life, there is a specific cause. Disloyalty in marriage destroys oneness.
Do not cause unnecessary suffering to any creature.
Justice is God's business, but we are given the charge to lay down necessary laws and enforce them whenever we can.
Enduring wealth can only be acquired through working honestly and not hurting others.
Humans need rest for every six days of work. A complete day of rest regenerates the body and mind and prepares a person for another six days of work.
The sages tell us that wealth is among the things decreed by fate or by natural design (Moed Katan 28a).
Religious Jews give maaser kesafim, which means giving at least ten percent of their income to the poor.
Jews believe that the blessing of God allows one to get wealth.
The book Jewish Wisdom for Business Success says, "Try to build your merit. This involves praying, giving to charity, and helping others."
"If a member of your people has become poor, so that he can't support himself among you, you are to assist him as you would a foreigner or a temporary resident, so that he can continue to live with you" (CJB, Leviticus 25:35).
Jews, who are only about 2% of the American population, are 30% of America's most generous donors.
According to Judaism, the benefit of giving to the poor is so great that a beggar is actually doing the giver a favor by allowing the person to give.
The Tanakh says not to hold back when someone asks you to give them.
The Chofetz Chaim says that it is praiseworthy to give smaller, but more frequent amounts to the poor.
You must give before you receive.
Jews understand that the purpose of life is not only to create, innovate, accumulate wealth, and improve on the material world, but also to care for those in need.
Clergyman John Wesley summed it up perfectly: "Earn as much as you can. Save as much as you can. Invest as much as you can. Give as much as you can."

UPDATE JANUARY 31: CWB has confirmed that the BYC client was injured in the event that was reported as "15 people fighting" on the street at 2:50PM.
It looks like the Broadway Youth Center (BYC) "Good Neighbor Agreement" is going to get an early test.
Just two days after BYC received a zoning variance to operate on a residential street, a victim reported that he was beaten up by a known offender near Wellington and Broadway at 3PM Thursday.
When police arrived, they were informed that the victim had gone to the Broadway Youth Center, 615 W. Wellington, to have a leg injury treated.
After receiving treatment, the victim was escorted by officers to the Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted, in the belief that the attacker may have gone there. It does not appear that they were successful in their hunt for the offender, who is described as male, black, wearing a red hat and black jacket. He was in the company of other males at the time of the attack.
A battery report has been filed. The case number is HX124943.
Just 10 minutes before this victim's 911 call came in, officers handled another call of 15 people fighting on the street at 3023 N. Broadway, about a half-block north of Wellington. It is not clear if the two incidents are related.
BYC staff or volunteers will monitor the Facility and immediate proximity to the Facility on days when BYC program participants are present during the regular hours of operation of the BYC programs. BYC staff or volunteers will have additional monitoring presence for one (1) hour before and for one (1) hour after the BYC Drop-in program begins and ends on days when this program is offered.
The drop-in program ended at 3PM Thursday, about 4 minutes before the victim's 911 call.
We asked Howard Brown Health Center General Counsel Michelle Wetzel about Thursday's incident.
[BYC] staff was present and helped break up the situation and escorted the youth back to the BYC where our nurse cleaned up and bandaged the youth's knee. In the meantime, the youth had called the police himself. The police came and met the youth at the BYC. The youth then went with the police to help the police identify his assailants.
Thursdays incident has been investigated and documented as called for by the Good Neighbor Agreement, Wetzel says. "This is exactly how our system is designed to work and it worked perfectly."
In a related development, Wetzel tells us that BYC is in the process of expanding the "monitoring area" that center staff will patrol beyond the front of their operation.

Citation: November 28, 2010 07:45 hours While performing an operational sanitation inspection procedure in the evisceration department, I encountered a preponderance of black mold on the wall between the entrances of the processing room and the hallway between the tray pack and small salting rooms. The mold peppered the surface of the white, [redacted] paneling, a non-food contact surface, from the concrete skirting to a height of approximately eight (8) feet. I rejected the wall by applying the Food Safety and Inspection Service's Form 6502-1 #B39718914. No product was observed to be affected by the presence of these insanitary conditions at this time. This is a failure to comply with the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Chapter III, Section 416.4(b). The evisceration department's junior manager, Mr. [redacted] promptly was informed of the noncompliance verbally. This document serves as written notification that failure to comply with regulatory requirements may result in additional regulatory and/or administrative action(s).

Make Music Day, the free global festival, returns in June to 50 cities across America.
Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty
The annual Make Music Day festival will return this year on June 21st with over 4,000 free events – shows, music lessons and jam sessions – in 50 cities around the United States. Make Music Day is a festival for the people, welcoming aspiring musicians of every age, genre and skill-level.
The festival aims to celebrate music as a collaborative public activity rather than a solitary bedroom endeavor. To that end, a number of cities (Atlanta, Chattanooga, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York and Philadelphia) are setting up street studios, where producers can make music with anyone who wanders down the block. More than 150 "Mass Appeals" will also take place, convening large groups of musicians – all playing the same instrument – for impromptu performances.
Several of this year's events are tailored to honor the history of specific locations. The Ella Fitzgerald repertoire will be celebrated in New York at the National Jazz Museum and in the singer's former Los Angeles neighborhood; in both settings, passersby will be invited to sing tunes associated with Fitzgerald with help from a live pianist. In Madison, Wisconsin, singers will remember Otis Redding near the lake where his plane fatally crashed in 1967.
Make Music Day also celebrates music as a tool for activism. In Boston, Chicago and Cleveland, performances will be dedicated to racial justice. And in El Paso, Texas, local players will perform with Mexican musicians to make music on either side of the border.
Make Music Day began in France in 1982 and now takes place in more than 750 cities spanning 120 countries around the world. For more information on events and participating cities, visit the Make Music Day website.

Marijuana Policy
Virginia Law Ending Searches Based on Marijuana Order Goes into Effect on March 1. After lawmakers passed Senate Bill 5029 during a special session, police will no longer be able to conduct searches based solely on the odor of marijuana. The law will go into effect on March 1.
California Will See Bill to Decriminalize Psychedelics. State Sen. Scott Weiner (D-San Francisco) said Tuesday he plans to introduce a bill that would decriminalize the possession of psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics. Weiner is also pushing a broader drug policy agenda that includes legalizing safe injection sites and ending mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses. "The war on drugs has been a disaster, in terms of bloating law enforcement, tearing apart communities, criminalizing addiction and spending enormous amounts of money on prisons," Wiener said. "We need to end the war on drugs. Possession of drugs should just not be a crime."
British Pilot Heroin Maintenance Program Celebrates First Year. A heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) program in Middlebrough marked its first anniversary this week and is reporting good results. Half of the 14 people who began the program remain on it and the result has been "low re-offending rates, improved physical and mental well-being, and repaired relationships with family and friends," according to the program's director. The people remaining on the program had committed 541 detected criminal offenses before entering the program, but only three since joining. Participants come twice a day to a clinic to inject pharmaceutical heroin in a supervised setting.
Colombia Shelves Congressional Bill on Marijuana Legalization. A bill that would have legalized marijuana has been defeated in the Chamber of Representatives on a vote of 102-52. Right-wing factions allied with President Ivan Duque defeated the bill. But a second marijuana legalization bill is still alive in the Senate and will be debated by mid-month. To become law, that bill must be fully approved by year's end.

Guatemala Arrests Former Police Chief Linked To Disappearance of Activist
By Benetech, posted on June 27, 2011
Benetech Statistician Provided Evidence Used To Convict Officers Under His Command
Analysis of police documents by Benetech scientists provided evidence used to support the arrest of the former chief of the Guatemalan National Police who is accused of complicity in the 1984 disappearance of a union leader. The arrest of Hector Bol de la Cruz, 70, at his home in Jutiapa southwest of Guatemala City on June 9, is the latest step in an ongoing investigation of former police officials accused of disappearing and murdering Edgar Fernando García and other political activists during the country's 36 years of armed internal conflict. In April, Jorge Humberto Gómez López, a former National Police commander, was also arrested for his alleged role the García case.
Expert testimony by Benetech statistician Daniel Guzmán, based in part on Benetech's analysis of a random sample of 31.7 million documents in theGuatemalan National Police Archive, provided key evidence in the conviction last year of two former police officers who served under de la Cruz in the Guatemalan National Police. Guzmán determined that documents in the García case were two to four times more likely to be known by senior police officers relative to documents in the Archive more generally. This finding suggests that disappearance is interesting to the senior police leadership and is consistent with the hypothesis that the leadership of the National Police was involved in the planning or direction of García's disappearance.
Based on Benetech's analysis, the court ordered Guatemalan prosecutors to investigate García's disappearance up the chain of command. Bol de la Cruz, who was chief of police between 1983 and 1985, is accused of planning the kidnapping and forced disappearance of García, who was last seen being detained by police officers in Guatemala City in February of 1984. Two former officers, Abraham Lancerio Gómez and Héctor Roderico Ramírez, were each sentenced last year to the maximum term of 40 years in prison for their role in García's disappearance.
The Guatemalan National Police were disbanded after the country's 1996 Peace Accords which ended 36 years of conflict. The administration of Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom has pledged to investigate human rights violations committed during this period. The Commission for Historical Clarification (CEH), which investigated a portion of the 200,000 deaths and disappearances that took place during the conflict, estimates that tens of thousands of Guatemalans disappeared during this period. The verdicts against Gómez and Ramírez established forced disappearance as a crime in the Guatemalan judicial system and prompted government prosecutors to investigate higher ranking officers, such as de la Cruz, for their possible role in the case. This was the first prosecution in the Guatemalan judicial system based primarily on archive documents and paved the way for judges to trust these records as evidence in future human rights cases.

Report: Bears hiring former Bengals assistant Lazor as OC
The Chicago Bears are hiring former Cincinnati Bengals assistant Bill Lazor as their new offensive coordinator, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Lazor was with Cincinnati in the same role for two seasons before being let go at the end of the 2018 campaign.
Matt Nagy's offense largely disappointed in 2019, leading to changes for the unit. Chicago fired offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich after it ranked 29th in both yards per game and points per game.
Lazor has logged plenty of experience as an NFL assistant, coaching the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterbacks in 2013 under Chip Kelly and then serving as the Miami Dolphins' offensive coordinator from 2014 to 2015.
Along with Nagy, the 47-year-old will be tasked with developing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and helping him to continue his late 2019 production into 2020.

A vibrant media is the oxygen of a living democracy. When the media are dominated by a handful of big corporations, citizens of a democracy are on a respirator gasping for air. James Madison, founding father, understood this well when he said, " A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but the prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power that knowledge gives." Today, media reform, once thought to be impossible, is an important issue. A growing grassroots movement is demanding change.

Tunde Folawiyo | A look at three beautiful African national parks

Although Africa is home to many thriving cities and fascinating historical sites, it is perhaps best known for its spectacular national parks, of which there are several hundred for all avid nature and wildlife lovers to enjoy. These parks are home to an incredible number of wildlife and plant species, and as such, are perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty and diversity of the natural world. In this article, we will share three of our favourite national parks, located in Botswana, Kenya and South Africa.
Chobe is one of Botswana's largest parks, and has been open to the public for forty five years. It can be divided up into four distinct areas; Linyanti, Savute, Ngwezumba pans, and the Chobe Riverfront (from which the park received its name). The latter is the most popular area, as it is regularly visited by enormous herds of Cape buffalo and elephants, who come here to drink throughout the winter. Those who visit during this season will have the opportunity to watch these amazing creatures in their natural habitat; the elephants are quite comfortable around humans, and will happily ignore any spectators, as they wash, play and drink in the river. Other animal species which populate the park include bushbuck, hippos, zebra and antelope.
Marsabit National Park and Reserve is a Kenyan park which spans over 1,500sq km. Inside, you'll find three enormous crater lakes, along with a mountain which is almost entirely covered in dense forest. This park attracts a number of elephant herds throughout the year, although the quantity is considerably less than what you would usually find in Chobe. However, there are plenty of other species to watch out for, including gazelles, zebras, kudus, leopards and most interestingly, lions, which are favourites of Tunde Folawiyo. Whilst day trips around the park are available, many visitors opt to stay overnight, as the park has a lodge, as well as three campsites, one of which lies along the shores of the stunning Lake Paradise.
Augrabies Falls National Park, located in South Africa, is home to one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The wild, craggy outcrops and sun-drenched plains provide the perfect landscape for hikes and game drives. The latter are especially popular, as the park is home to a vast array of species, including klipspringers, flat lizards, rock hyraxes and mountain zebras. Another feature often praised by visitors is Moon Rock, an enormous, naturally-formed dome which, when climbed, offers some amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area.
One of Tunde Folawiyo's favourite animals are lions, which are a main attraction within the Marsabit National Park and Reserve, and are just some of the extraordinary sights for people to see at this location in particular.

News – Test: Range Rover Sport D300 – The men ask for physical training
The newly available third generation of the smaller series impresses with a very elegant design that may even have too few rough edges for brand purists Photo: Land Rover
With the third generation Range Rover Sport, the British focus more than ever on cool design, flawless craftsmanship and a high level of comfort. However, the additional designation 'Sport' should not be taken too seriously in this context.
The once proud British car industry has shrunk to a few brands that are also in Indian hands (Land Rover, Jaguar) or – shockingly – even in German hands (Mini). There are also a few Japanese manufacturers who settled on the island a few decades ago and firmly believed in European unity and the common sense of its inhabitants.
Of the British brands, Land Rover/Range Rover is certainly the most typical of its country of origin at the moment, as Jaguar is currently in the midst of upheaval and looking for its own path, and Mini has become a more or less random lifestyle brand with little connection to its British, has origins and could come from virtually any country in its pale internationality.
But we finally get our tweed jacket out of the closet and get into the test car – a Range Rover Sport. The third generation of the smaller series, which has recently become available, impresses with a very elegant design that may even have too few rough edges for brand purists. The high-quality body is cool and manages without a flashy appearance. You could rather call it almost discreet if it weren't for the sheer dimensions of the vehicle, which is 4.95 meters long and 2.04 meters wide even with the side mirrors folded in.
Inside, the designers also focus on restrained comfort with the highest processing quality. From his high-quality seat, the driver looks at large displays and a razor-sharp head-up display. Apart from a few small things, the service presents no puzzles. However, the speech recognition for a car with a basic price of almost 100,000 euros is far too hard of hearing. On the other hand, we found the many assistance systems good, mainly because they are as subtle as the entire vehicle and don't abuse the driver with constant overcautious beeps or similar warning sounds.
From these first impressions, it is already clear: the addition of "sport" should not be taken too literally with this Range Rover. This version is mainly 10 centimeters shorter than the large original, the roofline slopes slightly backwards and therefore it seems "It's a little less airy. But we thought that was quite comfortable because the interior is still spacious, but in the end seems a little more cozy. There is still plenty of space for luggage Anyone going on a skiing holiday in St. Moritz for two can Take skis and champagne in a luggage capacity of almost 1,900 liters Have fun and feel good.
The engine we have chosen matches the sublime appearance and the same level of seating comfort: the name 300d already indicates the performance of horsepower, the maximum torque of 650 Newton meters available at 1,500 revolutions discreetly educates the driver to a relaxed driving style, especially since the diesel is used even hardly belongs. Cover long distances smoothly, if possible not over 180 km/h – because then the wind noise increases significantly – which suits the vehicle, the gentle eight-speed automatic gearbox and is at the same time easy on the wallet. We were very happy with around 10 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers, certainly also thanks to the mild hybrid support, especially since you can achieve values between 8 and 9 liters with a little more restraint. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs 2.5 tonnes.
Road sports are also surprisingly dynamic given the volume. At least compared to the big Range Rover, it's downright agile, takes corners confidently with its four-wheel drive and, thanks to body roll control, always stays upright in a way that's easy on the stomach.
We pull the tweed off again and therefore conclude: While the Range Rover now seems to go beyond all SUV dimensions in terms of dimensions and price, while the Evoque and Velar meanwhile are getting a little old, the Range Rover Sport can like the bottom line within row cosmos has to be the currently best combination of modernity, tradition and common sense. As far as you have to talk about sense at all with these models, their costs, their dimensions and their consumption.
Range Rover Sport D300 specifications:
Five-person, five-seat SUV; Length: 4.95 m, width: 2.04 m, height: 1.82 m, wheelbase: 3.00 m, boot volume: 647 – 1,860 liters
3.0 liter six-cylinder in-line, mild hybrid, 221 kW/300 hp, maximum torque: 650 Nm at 1,500 rpm, 8-speed automatic, four-wheel drive, 0-100 km/h: 6.6 s, Vmax: 218 km , standard consumption: 8.1 liters/100 kilometers, CO2 emissions: 211 g/km, emission standard: Euro 6d, test consumption: 11.5 liters/100 kilometers
Price: from 96,800 euros
Range Rover Sport D300 – brief features:
Why: luxurious interior; high level of comfort; creamy diesel; quite flexible for the size
Why not: expensive to buy and maintain; weak voice recognition
What else: Range Rover for more comfort; for more terrain in the Defender

Point of Order
A Discussion of Congressional Legal Issues
Can Joe Miller Win?
To recap briefly, Joe Miller successfully challenged incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski in the 2010 Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat from Alaska. Murkowski then launched a write-in campaign for the general election, and it appears that there were many more write-ins than votes cast for Miller (or for the Democratic nominee, who has conceded). Alaska is now going through the process of determining for whom the write-ins were cast, though it is presumed that the overwhelming majority were intended to be for Murkowski.
For present purposes, we will assume that the number of write-in votes cast for "Lisa Murkowski," or some reasonable variant thereof, will clearly exceed the number of votes cast for Miller. Miller contends, however, that the state can legally count only those ballots that correctly reflect the spelling of Murkowski's name. He has brought a civil suit seeking to enjoin the state from counting misspelled ballots.
Miller may be correct about Alaska law, and it is possible (though unlikely) that he will be able to get enough write-in ballots thrown out so as to be certified the winner of the election. That, however, is not the end of the matter. Murkowski will still have the option (which she would almost certainly exercise) to contest Miller's election in the U.S. Senate. And the odds are very good that she would prevail in such a contest.
To begin with, the Senate enjoys a good deal of flexibility in how it handles an election contest, having established no fixed or formal procedures as exist in the House. As one commentator notes, "the relatively informal nature of the process results in contestants having wide discretion to bring a case and the Senate having a wide discretion as to how it will handle such a contest."
Moreover, Murkowski has at least one closely analogous Senate precedent that she could cite in support of her challenge. In a 1924 U.S. Senate race in Iowa between Daniel Steck and Smith Brookhart, Brookhart was certified as the winner by 755 votes. Steck, however, contested the election on the grounds that Iowa had rejected so-called "arrow ballots," in which voters had marked Steck's name but had drawn in an arrow (mimicking a sample ballot they had received); this marking required the disqualification of the ballot under Iowa law. The contest was referred to a Senate committee, which decided to count those "arrow ballots" which clearly indicated an intent to vote for Steck, notwithstanding the Iowa law. Although Brookhart's supporters objected that "no precedent existed for the Senate to overrule a state's election law" in this fashion, Steck's supporters argued that "Iowa voters' preferences, when clearly conveyed on their ballots should be honored, lest their voting rights be denied." Ultimately, the Senate decided to count the arrow ballots and seat Steck.
Murkowski's position would be further bolstered by the political realities. The Democratic majority in the Senate has no incentive to seat Miller, and it would have every reason to take a Murkowski challenge seriously (thereby prolonging a Republican internal battle). It is reasonable to assume that some Senate Republicans would also be sympathetic to Murkowski, a former colleague who has indicated she would continue to caucus with the Republicans. Finally, most Senators are likely to be uncomfortable with disregarding the apparent will of the voters, regardless of the legal niceties.
In short, even if Miller prevails on his claims under Alaskan law and is certified the winner of the election, he is likely to lose the Senate seat in the long run.

There's no better feeling than having the right tool for the job. And there is no better spokesperson than Ellen DeGeneres to thank Bic on behalf of women everywhere for the company's newest creation.
The morning commute is quite possibly the worst time of day. You have to wake up early, leave bed, get dressed and then it takes 30 to 45 minutes to get to work. Blech.

Una freguesia è una unità amministrativa secondaria del Portogallo. La freguesia è rimasta come entità amministrativa anche nell'ex-colonia portoghese di Macao. Il termine può essere tradotto in italiano come "località" o "parrocchia civile".

La freguesia è una suddivisione dell'unità amministrativa comunale concelho. La freguesia è amministrata da una giunta e ha un presidente di giunta.

Ogni concelho può essere suddiviso in più freguesia. Solo sei di esse in Portogallo coincidono con il rispettivo comune: Alpiarça, Barrancos, Corvo, Porto Santo, São Brás de Alportel e São João da Madeira. Barcelos è il comune con il più alto numero di freguesia, 61.

Per l'Instituto Nacional de Estatística, ci sono  freguesias in Portogallo. A Macao ci sono solo due concelhos e sette freguesia.

Le autorità portoghesi dividono le freguesia in tre tipi differenti:
 freguesia urbane, con una densità superiore a  o una popolazione residente maggiore di  abitanti,
 freguesia semi-urbane, con una densità superiore a  e inferiore o uguale a ; una popolazione residente maggiore di  abitanti e inferiore a  abitanti,
 freguesia rurali, le restanti.

In Brasile si usa il termine freguesia informalmente per certi distretti antichi di alcune città, per tradizione. Ad esempio, a Florianópolis, capitale dello stato di Santa Catarina, esistono come freguesia: Ribeirão da Ilha (1749), Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Lagoa (Lagoa da Conceição - 1750) e Nossa Senhora das Necessidades de Santo Antônio de Lisboa (1752).

This holiday season consider filling your time together with more activities instead of more things.
The whole holiday experience does not have to revolve around opening gifts and receiving more toys to clutter your children's lives. Try making breakfast together Christmas morning or spending the morning making gifts for others. Watch a Christmas movie together or play a family game.
This article by Laurel Moglen explains that wonderfully. It suggests lowering your children's expectations of gifts and raising their expectations of activity and time spent together.
Do more toys and gifts really create more happiness for your children?
Stand in the middle of a room overloaded with "stuff". Take notice of how your body feels. I definitely do not feel relaxed and at peace. In fact, I feel overwhelmed and would much rather leave the room and go someplace else.
Now, picture a child in a room overloaded with toys. I often hear complaints from parents about how they buy their kids all of these toys and the kids don't play with any of them. Or how the kids avoid the toy room all together and just follow the parents around everywhere crying for something to do.
So many times the solution is to buy more toys. Have you considered they may need less? I know, crazy thought right? WRONG! Just like I find a cluttered living room, kitchen or bedroom overwhelming, kids are leaving their toy rooms because they find them overwhelming and over stimulating. When I try to use those spaces or want to find something I need, it can become confusing and I'd rather not deal with it. I believe kids feel the same way about a packed toy room.
I have read an amazing book called "Simplicity Parenting" by Kim John Payne. In some ways it may seem extreme but the basic message I received from it regarding toys is that less is more.
Get rid of all those broken toys you will never fix.
DONATE the toys that are no longer age appropriate and the toys that you have duplicates of.
No one needs 500 crayons, 15 Barbies or 100 books.
I know all of you parents (myself included) have often thought that you can never have too many books. But the same theory applies, less is more. Too many can be confusing and if you just can't get rid of the books at least rotate them. Or just use that library card that has gotten lost in your wallet. An experience at the library can be just as enriching as having a house full of books that clutter your space.
Clear your children's space, parents.
Teach them gratitude, instead of entitlement.
Teach them to love people, not stuff.

Q: How to get Xubuntu Panel back to original state I heavily edited the panel bar to look similar to the Chrome OS panel, but I have grown tired of it and I want to go back to it's former state. I have a basic idea of how it was but I can't get the nitty gritty down, like the Whisker menu.

A: If you are using a Xubuntu 15.10 and later, open XFCE Panel Switch either from Settings Manager or the Whisker Menu (located under Settings).

You will find various configurations for the Xubuntu panels layout. You can select any of the options presented there and apply it by pressing the gears button. You can also save your current configuration for future use.

A: You can reset the panel by running the command xfce4-panel --quit ; pkill xfconfd ; rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/panel ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml ; xfce4-panel; (Source)
If this doesn't reset the Whisker Menu you could then try sudo apt-get purge xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin and then sudo apt-get install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin (Source for package name)

A: Right click on your panel > Panel Preferences. Then hit the red minus icon to delete it. Then just add your new panel, and from there you can add in the Whisker Menu and whatever else you might want, including custom ordering as well as custom icons etc. You can also make a spacer transparent and set it to expand (to right align items). Attached is my center screen panel. For Whisker Menu, I added my own icon, and I set a slight transparency to it. Pretty awesome customization possible with xfce.
I have never worried with taking a panel back to its 'original' state. I think it is most ideal to just add the items you want.

A: see: https://askubuntu.com/a/1205840/1093368

The defaults for the panel is stored in /etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/default.xml. So to restore that default, just do:

cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/default.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

Q: How to set Spark Config in an AWS Glue job, using Scala Spark? When running my job, I am getting the following exception:
Exception in User Class: org.apache.spark.SparkException : Job aborted due to stage failure: Task 32 in stage 2.0 failed 4 times, most recent failure: Lost task 32.3 in stage 2.0 (TID 50) (10.100.1.48 executor 8): org.apache.spark.SparkUpgradeException: You may get a different result due to the upgrading of Spark 3.0: reading dates before 1582-10-15 or timestamps before 1900-01-01T00:00:00Z from Parquet INT96 files can be ambiguous, as the files may be written by Spark 2.x or legacy versions of Hive, which uses a legacy hybrid calendar that is different from Spark 3.0+'s Proleptic Gregorian calendar. See more details in SPARK-31404. You can set spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInRead to 'LEGACY' to rebase the datetime values w.r.t. the calendar difference during reading. Or set spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInRead to 'CORRECTED' to read the datetime values as it is.
I have tried to apply the requested configuration value, as follows:
    val conf = new SparkConf()
    conf.set("spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInRead", "LEGACY")

    val spark: SparkContext = new SparkContext(conf)
    //Get current sparkconf which is set by glue

    val glueContext: GlueContext = new GlueContext(spark)
    val args = GlueArgParser.getResolvedOptions(
      sysArgs,
      Seq("JOB_NAME").toArray
    )
    Job.init(args("JOB_NAME"), glueContext, args.asJava)

but the same error occurs.  I have also tried setting it to "CORRECTED" via the same approach.
It seems that the config is not properly making its way into the Spark execution.  What is the proper way to get Spark config values set from a ScalaSpark job on Glue?

A: When you are migrating between versions it is always best to check out the Migration guides by AWS. In your case this can be set in your Glue Job properties by passing below properties as per requirement.To set these navigate to Glue console -> Jobs -> Click on Job -> Job details -> Advanced properties -> Job parameters.
- Key: --conf
- Value: spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInRead=[CORRECTED|LEGACY] --conf spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInWrite=[CORRECTED|LEGACY] --conf spark.sql.legacy.parquet.datetimeRebaseModeInRead=[CORRECTED|LEGACY]

Please refer to below guide for the more information:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/migrating-version-30.html#migrating-version-30-from-20

A: This code at the top of my glue job seems to have done the trick
val conf = new SparkConf()

//alternatively, use LEGACY if that is required
conf.set("spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInRead", "CORRECTED")
conf.set("spark.sql.legacy.parquet.int96RebaseModeInWrite", "CORRECTED")
conf.set("spark.sql.legacy.parquet.datetimeRebaseModeInRead", "CORRECTED")
conf.set("spark.sql.legacy.parquet.datetimeRebaseModeInWrite", "CORRECTED")

val spark: SparkContext = new SparkContext(conf)

val glueContext: GlueContext = new GlueContext(spark)

You are here: Home / INDIGENOUS PARTNERSHIPS
Indigenous Government (Treaty 7)
Treaty 7 is the last of the Numbered Treaties made between the Government of Canada and the Plains First Nations. It spans across southern Alberta and into the United States and is comprised of five First Nations: Kainai (Blood), Siksika, Piikani, Tsuu t'ina and Stoney Nakoda. Metis peoples of Region 3 also live in this region. The city of Calgary is located on Treaty 7 lands, but the First Peoples resided on the lands long before treaties were created and signed. Their descendants have continued to live here and are deeply tied to this territory.
Siksika Nation
Siksika has a total population of approximately 6,000 members, and is governed by a chief and twelve councillors, all of whom are elected by members for three-year terms. The current chief of the Siksika Nation is Joseph Weasel Child. The Siksika Nation is in the process of developing a framework for self-government which will define and control the Nation's own destiny, and remove it from jurisdiction of The Indian Act which was legislated into force by the Canadian Government in 1876.
Kainai First Nation
The Blood Tribe has a population of 12,800 (2015) occupying approximately 549.7 square miles with a Timber Limit in the Rocky Mountains of approximately 7.5 square miles. Three rivers, the Old Man, St. Mary and Belly, border the Blood reserve. The traditional Blackfoot territory extends from the Rocky Mountains to the West; the Sand Hills to the East; to the North Saskatchewan in the North, and the Yellowstone in the South. The Blood Tribe Administration situated in Stand Off is the administrative centre of the Blood Tribe.
Piikani Nation
The Piikani Nation consists of roughly 3,600 registered members. Of this Population roughly 40% live off reserve in urban centers that surround the nation, many people move off the reserve to fulfill their needs that cannot be met within the community such as education, housing and employment.
The Piikani Nation has a land mass of 46,677.8 Hectares and two reserves 147a where the town site is located and 147b which is the timber reserve. Piikani engages in variety of functions with their Reserve lands from ranching to agriculture, spiritual to recreational activities. The Nation has one of the highest Post-Secondary graduate rate as such the Nation hosts a wide variety of professionals ranging from Lawyers, Doctors, Educators, Scientists, RCMP and Military personnel all of whom call Piikani home. The Piikani Nation remains a leader in various aspects of Aboriginal governance and have a rich history in shaping mainstream political movements in Canada that influence life on Aboriginal people.
Tsuu T'ina Nation
The Tsuu T'ina Nation land area is 283.14 km² (109.32 sq mi), and it has a population of 1,982. The northeast portion of the reserve was used as part of CFB Calgary, a Canadian Army base, from 1910–1998. In 2006, The Tsuut'ina (Tsuu T'ina) or Sarcee are an Athabaskan (or Dene) nation whose reserve adjoins the southwestern city limits of Calgary, Alberta. The name "Sarcee" is believed to have originated from a Siksika (Blackfoot) word meaning boldness and hardiness. The Sarcee people call themselves Tsuut'ina (also Tsúùt'ínà), translated literally as "many people" or "every one (in the Nation)." According to oral tradition, the Tsuut'ina split from a northern nation, probably the Dane-zaa, and moved to the Plains, where they have maintained close contact with the Siksika, Cree and Stoney. Their acculturation to the Plains culture distinguishes them from other northern Dene people, but they have retained their Athabaskan language, Tsuut'ina.
Stoney Nakoda First Nation
Stoney-Nakoda or îyârhe Nakodabi, "Rocky Mountain Sioux," are culturally and linguistically allied to the Plains Assiniboine, but in Saskatchewan and Montana are characterized by differences in language and culture. They speak the northern dialect of the Dakota language. Stoney oral tradition asserts that their forefathers resided along the Rocky Mountain foothills from time immemorial.
The economic base of the Stoney-Nakoda includes trapping, big-game hunting, guiding, ranching, lumbering, handicrafts, labouring and various professions. The Bearspaw, Chiniki, Stoney and Wesley Nations at Morley enjoy a high standard of living based on natural gas royalties and operate several commercial enterprises (such as stores, restaurants, service stations, a rodeo centre, a campground and the Nakoda Lodge). Their social life centres on family and cultural activities – the powwows, Treaty Days, rodeos, stampedes and camp meetings. Members of the four Nakoda Nations live at Morley, Bighorn, Eden Valley. Their population numbered over 3075 in 2012.
Metis Region 3
The Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) is the representative voice of the Métis people in Alberta. As of November 2015, there were 29,114 Métis Albertans registered with the MNA. The MNA has a democratically elected President and 6 regionally elected presidents and vice presidents. Together these 13 individuals make up the Provincial Council. All decisions regarding policy, programs, and funding pass through Provincial Council which is governed by a set of Bylaws.
The MNA comprises of six regions in Alberta, of which Metis Region 3 covers all of southern Alberta. Operating within each region are Métis Locals, and these 'locals' have a locally elected president and vice president. These elected individuals bring local issues forward to their regional presidents and vice presidents to carry forward to the Provincial Council table. This structure facilities the promotion of local and regional interest for Métis to our Provincial table.
