These policies provide financial relief for you and your immediate family members in the event of calamities caused theft, vandalism, fires, hailstorms, lightning, etc to your home. Your policy will also protect you in the event of a lawsuit. If either you or any of your family members is held legally responsible for injury or damage to another person's property, your home insurance will cover the legal expenses, court awards and medical bills presented.
If you have enough knowledge about your home insurance policies, you can submit and free home insurance quote here to get started.
The following details the six major areas your home insurance covers.
The Home's Structure part of your policy will pay to repair or rebuild your home if it's damaged or destroyed by a hurricane, fire, hailstorm or any other disaster that's listed in the policy. You should note however, that it would not cover damage caused by earthquakes, floods, or normal wear and tear.
This part of the policy will cover other structures such as tool sheds, fences, cottages, garages, or gazebos within you property. Typically, your insurer will cover these structures for up to 10% of the total amount of the premium you pay for your home.
Here, the insurer will cover loss or damage to a number of items in your home. The items covered may include your clothes, furniture sporting equipment, jewelry, silverware and many other personal items specified in the policy.
Plants, shrubs, and trees may also be covered under a standard home insurance policy. These will be generally covered for about 5% of the total premium you pay for your home. Insurers generally provide coverage for up to 70% of your total home insurance premium.
Some insurers may also offer you off-premise coverage. This means that all your listed items will be covered even when they are not in your home. Expensive items such as jewelry may be covered with a dollar limit in case they are stolen. The insurer will only offer a round maximum figure for all stolen jewelry.
This covers your living expenses in the event that you are forced to move out of your home temporarily while the insurer carries out the necessary repairs to your home. This may cover anything from your hotels bills such as accommodation and meals to any other expense incurred because of the relocation.
It is important to note however, that this coverage has its limits. The limit is typically a percentage of the total amount you have insured you home for. Most insurers will allow you to raise this limit well before hand.
This offers financial protection for you or your family members in the event of a lawsuit for bodily harm or property damage to third parties.
If anyone who visits your home is injured or losses their property, this protection will cover any legal expenses that may arise because of a lawsuit. This protection also covers damage and injury caused by your pets. However, you should note that this would only cover the property of a third person, and not yours.
The insurer will pay for the costs of defending you in court and cover any amount of money awarded by the courts. This protection will be available to you and your family members even when the damage happened away from your home.
Your home insurance policy will also provide no-fault medical coverage for you and your family. This means that it will cover the medical expenses of individuals such as a friend or a neighbor who has been injured in your home. All the third party will need to do is submit all medical bills to the insurance company. Your standard insurance policy will however, not cover the medical bills of your family members or pets.
When all's said and done, it would be very advisable to get all the details of your home insurance policy from you provider before making any financial commitments. Find out exactly what it will and will not cover. Damage caused by earthquakes and floods are typically not covered by standard home insurance policies. You can purchase a supplemental insurance to cover to take care of these risks.


Unrar and inport this reg file.
do not forget soft resset.
P.S. Here is not only copied reg entries from HTC folder. Here some more fixes.
Edited October 8, 2010 by Darius P.
Should I see AGPS in the settings somewhere after importing the .reg? I don't.
Should one use it instead of xtra? Or it can be used both? I'm asking because I don't have any agps settings in samsung settings (WM 6.5.3 23659 JH2).
Thanks for the link Darius!
I'm using FF Ultimate aGPS Tweak_supl.google_Generic.cab on my Omnia 2 with GC ROM. We all now about GPS problem on Omnia 2 but with that .cab I have fix in 2 min after cold start and in 30 sec after warm start. And thats when I'm in my house! I'm testing it for 2 days now and no problem yet.
I have the above reg entries, maybe my old rom does not have the AGPS settings?
I imagine it should be listed with connection and xtra under the sammy settings GPS tab.
If this fix keep working for few more days than I'll be completely happy.
I am using already one week - working stable, without any problems.
My JF5 Rom has only xtra settings too.
Now have extra and agps.
PLEASE can someone upload here the agps.exe ???
i dont even think the rom im using has agps because its not in any of my settings.

This works fantastic, thanks very much.
How can I add a reg file to registry? SKTools?
This topic shoud be pinned as it solve the problem with gps on our beloved Omnia II.

If you use your phone or your car is equipped with a mapping program -- you can find almost any address. This is possible due to military innovation.
According to NASA's website, in the 1960s, a positioning system that used radio signals and satellite feeds was developed by the Navy to track U.S. subs carrying nuclear missiles during the Sputnik era. The system was the beginning of modern positioning technology.
This system was taken up by the Department of Defense as part of a joint effort to build a more robust technology. It blended systems from the Air Force and the Navy that incorporated radio, satellite and atomic clocks to provide positioning data.
Today's GPS on a smartphone is accurate to within 4.9 meters under open sky, according to GPS.com. Accuracy is limited by bridges, buildings and trees that could interfere with the signal.
According to NASA, "GPS is a multi-use, space-based radio-navigation system owned by the U.S. Government and operated by the U.S. Air Force to meet national defense, homeland security, civil, commercial and scientific needs."
The system is also more than the part used to find a friend's house or a new restaurant. There are two pieces to the entire GPS array. One, called Precise Positioning Service is used by the military and other federal agencies. The other is the Standard Positioning Service used by the civilian world.
According to GPS.com, the government's PPS uses two frequencies while the SPS uses one. The accuracy of each is about the same and many of the same things that interfere with the SPS also impact the PPS system. However, there are several technologies available to both military and civilian users to boost accuracy.

Q: Solr Error Parent filter should not be sent when the schema is nested This is the my current simple solr doc

You should be able to use childFilter along with the parentFilter
However I keep getting this error: "Parent filter should not be sent when the schema is nested"
Query:
q=type:dad&fl= *,[child parentFilter=type:dad childFilter=name:Alice limit=10]

This should then be result but I am getting the error above:

Rapidly gentrifying neighborhood starts process towards landmark status. On July 24, 2007, Landmarks calendared a 15-block area on Brooklyn's waterfront adjacent to the Manhattan Bridge approach as a potential historic district. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, DUMBO developed as a primarily industrial area at a time when Brooklyn was counted among the country's largest manufacturing centers. DUMBO's East River location attracted a wide variety of industries, including coffee, paper and paint. Now no longer an industrial hub, developers have converted many of the former factory buildings into apartments and condominiums.

Occasionally, people come to me because they want advice on choosing a new guitar, or because they want to know if the guitar they've bought is the "best guitar" out there. Given that I work on them frequently, it's no surprise that people turn to me for advice. But, there unfortunately isn't usually a perfect or clear-cut answer. For most situations, there is no such thing as a best guitar, only the best one for you.
What kind of music do you like to play? Or, if you are new to the guitar, what kind of music do you think you'll want to play? Often, guitar buyers look at what sorts of instruments their musical heroes like to play and buy the same, or buy the same guitar that a friend or family member has. That might make sense if you plan on playing the same way they do, but if you aren't sure, it makes sense to look around and try as many as you can.
Don't assume that you automatically have to buy a brand-new guitar. Often, you can get a beautifully maintained guitar – and a lot more for your money – by looking through used classifieds. In these cases, a "broken-in" guitar might have a much better sound and feel than the shiny new model from your local shop, and cost you a lot less.
Most guitar players develop a favorite brand over time, usually because they like the feel or tone that comes from a given type of wood, body construction, or pickup combination. If you're shopping for a guitar, though, now is the perfect time to experiment a little bit and see if you have any new preferences. You should also look into the qualities and drawbacks of all the major brands, so you'll know how to get what you really need.
Once you start to understand what you're looking for, begin to compare prices and reviews. See what other guitar players have to say about each model, especially those who might have more experience with different guitars than you do. Often, this is the best way to find out about complaints or problems that might crop up later.
As any experienced guitar player can tell you, you don't choose something to play with your head, but with your heart and fingers. So, after you've narrowed down the list significantly, get out there and play as many of them as you can. Because you already know what fits your style and is in your budget range, you'll probably locate one guitar on your list that best suits you pretty quickly.
By following these steps, you can probably narrow hundreds or thousands of different guitars down into a few good options. Then, it's just a matter of putting together your budget and preferences to find the one that's perfect for you.
After you've found your perfect guitar, don't forget to call me for Vancouver's best guitar repair and maintenance, and check back to my blog for more great tips!

The Melo Group secured $142m in permanent financing for its mixed-use scheme Square Station. Aztec Group arranged the deal on behalf of Melo with a 10-year fixed-rate loan provided by Freddie Mac. The 34-story tower is located in Miami's Edgewater district, near the Arsht Center. Totaling 710 apartments, the building also includes an attached parking structure with 946 spots and 20,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space. Melo bought the 1.37-acre site in 2014 for $7.85m.


I feel like I should begin this posting with an apology. There are so many people, just in the US, that are facing real issues with winter weather. A couple of friends used to live in Alaska. They are doubtless laughing at how people in the Texas Gulf region react when three snowflakes managed to fall from the sky and hang around for more than 30 seconds. The weather was 60°F yesterday when they started announcing school closings.
Ice on the sidewalk and road.
I remember one Christmas that was in the mid-80s. I think they opened the subdivision pool. Kids were riding bikes and wearing rollerskates, using skateboards and doing all sorts of fun things. There were concerts at the beaches in Galveston.
This is the second time this season that actually felt like winter. Three weeks ago, give or take a week or two, we had another snowpocalypse. Like today and tomorrow, homeless people refused to go into shelters. Several died. I don't know what we can do to help that kind of situation. People do have the freedom to decide where to sleep, but the cost can be so high. How do families and friends find those that they love who are out of the street? What if the folks on the street want nothing to do with the friends and family who might be searching for them.
Cooper is pondering how to convince his people that a little ice and snow will make walking a lot of fun.
This is even affecting four-legged furry family members. I'm not sure what Cooper thinks of this, but he has been growling at the door and barking at the windows today. I don't know if he is hearing something in the wind, or hears other creatures trying to stay warm. He has been very restless. Part of it is that he has been trying to convince his people to take them for a walk most of the day. My nephew did take him, and I think they enjoyed themselves, but it didn't seem to be quite as long a walk as usual.
This weekend, it is supposed to be in the 70s again. We will be able to get back to living a normal winter life in this area.


Performance is critical to business, and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are what gives decision makers the tools they need to keep ahead of the competition.
One of the many facets of successfully running a fashion business is implementing a foolproof system to manage inventory, digital assets, and product costs. This is solved with the implementation of a line sheet, which responds to the needs of fashion businesses that have multiple retail channels, from brick-and-mortar stores to e-commerce platforms.
Optimizing supply chain collaboration is an important way of doing this. It allows companies to keep customer satisfaction at the forefront of their businesses so they can improve, develop, and innovate.
Do you work the entire day and still productivity is meager in comparison to your hard work? Are collaborative challenges making the hole to the time you devote to finish your tasks and earn credits? Collaboration is the present day norm and you have to be a good collaborator to climb the corporate hierarchy.
How social business platforms increase productivity by at least 15%?
Enterprises across the globe are adapting to social business platforms to bring in the concept of working through distributed access, flexibility of work, instant sharing and remaining connected.
The style of working has increasingly become non-linear in organizations. Every company now understands the importance of integration among the departments to remain competitive in the market.
Enterprises across the globe are hit with a common concern – despite multiple tools on board there is a disproportionate increase in work productivity of employees across enterprises.

Charles Thomas Schlatter (* 1. Mai 1966 in Englewood, New Jersey) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Synchronsprecher.

Leben
Charles Schlatter wuchs in Fair Lawn, New Jersey auf. Er spielte bereits an der Memorial Junior High School Theater und machte später seinen Bachelor-Abschluss in Musical am Ithaca College. Bereits nach seinem Spielfilmdebüt 1988 an der Seite von Michael J. Fox in Die grellen Lichter der Großstadt hatte Schlatter im selben Jahr bereits drei Hauptrollen in den beiden Spielfilmen Endlich wieder 18 und Heartbreak Hotel. Internationale Bekanntheit erlangte er an der Seite von Dick Van Dyke in seiner Rolle als Dr. Jesse Travis in der Fernsehserie Diagnose: Mord, die er in 138 Episoden von 1995 bis 2001 verkörperte. Zu der Serie schrieb er mit der Episode A Resting Place auch ein Drehbuch.

Nachdem Schlatter in einer Episode der Zeichentrickserie Captain Planet als Synchronsprecher engagiert wurde, synchronisierte er seit 2000 vermehrt und zog sich stärker aus der Schauspielerei zurück. So lieh er seine Stimmen für Videospiele wie EverQuest II und Gothic 3 und für Zeichentrickserien wie Ben 10 und Cosmo und Wanda – Wenn Elfen helfen. Ursprünglich sollte Schlatter auch Fry in Futurama sprechen. Allerdings wurde er nach einem zweiten Vorsprechen durch Billy West ersetzt.

Von 1990 bis 1991 war Schlatter mit Jennifer Aniston, seiner Serienpartnerin aus Ferris Bueller, der Fernsehserie zum Kultfilm Ferris macht blau, liiert. Seit dem 7. Mai 1994 ist er mit der Publizistin Colleen Gunderson, mit der er drei gemeinsame Kinder hat, verheiratet.

Lives well lived: Sandra Grotta
August 30, 2021	arttextstyle0 Comment

browngrotta arts is devasted by the loss of Sandra Grotta, our extraordinary collector and patron and mother and grandmother. Sandy and her husband Lou have been pivotal in the growth of browngrotta arts through their advice and unerring support. Sandy graduated from the University of Michigan and the New York School of Interior Design. For four decades, she provided interior design assistance to dozens of clients — many through more than one home and office. She encouraged them to live with craft art, as she and Lou had done, placing works by Toshiko Takezu, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette, Helena Hernmarck, Gyöngy Laky, Markku Kosonen, Mary Merkel-Hess and many other artists in her clients' homes. Among her greatest design talents was persuading people to de-accession pieces they had inherited, but never loved, to make way for art and furnishings that provided them joy. Sandy was a uniquely confident collector and she shared that conviction with her clients.
Her own collecting journey began in the late 1950s, when she and Lou first stepped into the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York City after a visit to the Museum of Modern Art. "The Museum's exhibitions, many of whose objects were for sale in its store, caused a case of love at first sight. It quickly became a founding source of many craft purchases to follow," Sandy told Patricia Malarcher in 1982 ("Crafts," The New York Times, Patricia Malarcher, October 24, 1982). It was a walnut table "with heart" on view at MoCC that would irrevocably alter the collectors' approach. The table was by Joyce and Edgar Anderson, also from New Jersey. The Grottas sought the artists out and commissioned the first of many works commissioned and acquired throughout the artists' lifetimes, including a roll-top desk, maple server and a sofa-and-table unit that now live in browngrotta arts' gallery space. She followed the advice she would give to others: "When we saw the Andersons' woodwork," Sandy remembered, "we knew everything else had to go," Sandy told Glenn Adamson. From the success of that first commission, the Grottas' art exploration path was set. The Andersons introduced the Grottas to their friends, ceramists Toshiko Takaezu and William Wyman. "The Andersons were our bridge to other major makers in what we believe to have been the golden age of contemporary craft," Sandy said, "and the impetus to my becoming our decorator."

When Objects USA: the Johnson Wax Collection, opened in New York in 1972 at MoCC, by then renamed the American Craft Museum, the Grottas began discovering work further afield. "Objects USA was my Bible," Sandy told Malarcher describing how she would search out artists, ceramists, woodworkers and jewelers. A trip to Ariel, Washington, led the Grottas to commission an eight-foot-tall Kwakiutl totem pole for the front hall by Chief Don Lelooska. Sandy ordered a bracelet by Charles Loloma from a picture in a magazine. "I always got a little nervous when the packages came, but I've never been disappointed," Sandy told Malarcher. "Craftsmen are a special breed." Toshiko Takaezu, as an example, would require interested collectors like the Grottas to come by her studio in Princeton, NJ, a few times first to "interview" before she'd permit them to acquire special works. It took 15 years and several studio visits each year for the Grottas to convince the artist to part with the "moon pot" that anchors their formidable Takaezu collection. Jewelers Wendy Ramshaw and David Watkins in the UK also became dear friends as Sandy developed a world-class jewelry collection. At one point, in a relationship that included weekly transatlantic calls, Sandy told Wendy she needed "everyday earrings." Wendy responded with earrings for every day – seven pairs in fact. "For me, the surprise was that they found me," says John McQueen. "I lived in Western New York state far from the hubbub of the art world." McQueen says that he discovered they the Grotta's were completely open to any new aesthetic experience. "from that moment, we established a strong connection, that has led to a rapport that has continued through the years – a close personal and professional relationship."

Their accumulation of objects has grown to include more that 300 works of art and pieces of jewelry by dozens of artists, and with their Richard Meier home, has been the subject of two books. The most recent, The Grotta Home by Richard Meier: A Marriage of Architecture and Craft, was photographed and designed by Tom Grotta of bga. They don't consider themselves collectors in the traditional sense, content to exhibit art on just walls and surfaces. Sandy and Lou's efforts were aimed at creating a home. They filled every aspect of their lives with handcrafted objects from silver- and tableware to teapots to clothing to studio jewelry and commissioned pillows, throws and canes, a direction she also recommended for her interior design clients. The result, writes Glenn Adamson in The Grotta Home,"is a home that is at once totally livable and deeply aesthetic." Among the additional artists whose work the Grottas acquired for their home were wood worker Thomas Hucker, textile and fiber artists Sheila Hicks, Lenore Tawney and Norma Minkowitz, ceramists Peter Voulkos, Ken Ferguson and William Wyman and jewelers Gijs Bakker, Giampaolo Babetto, Axel Russmeyer and Eva Eisler. They have traveled to Japan, the UK, Czechoslovakia, Germany and across the US to view art and architecture and meet with artists.
Perhaps their most ambitious commission was the Grotta House, by Richard Meier. Designed to house and highlight craft and completed in 1989, it is a source of constant delight for the couple, with its shifting light, showcased views of woodlands and wildlife and engaging spaces for object installation. The Grottas were far more collaborative clients than is typical for Meier. "From our very first discussions," Meier has written,"it was clear that their vast collection of craft objects and Sandy's extensive experience as an interior designer would be an important in the design of the house." The sensitivity with which the collection was integrated into Meier's design produced "an enduring harmony between an ever-changing set of objects and they space they occupy." The unique synergy between objects and architecture is evident decades later, even as the collection has evolved. Despite his "distinct — and ornament-free — visual language, Meier created a building that lets decorative objects take a leading role on the architectural stage," notes Osman Can Yerebakan in Introspective magazine ("Tour a Richard Meier–Designed House That Celebrates American Craft," Osman Can Yerebakan, Introspective, February 23, 2020). The house project had an unexpected benefit — a professional partnership between Sandy and Grotta House project manager, David Ling, that would result in memorable art exhibition and living spaces designed for the homes and offices of many of Sandy's design clients.
Sandy and Lou became patrons of the American Craft Museum in 1970s. As a member of the Associates committee she organized several annual fundraisers for the Museum, including Art for the Table, E.A.T. at McDonald's and Art to Wear, sometimes with her close friend, Jack Lenor Larsen, another assured acquirer, as co-chair. At the openings, she would sport an artist-made piece of jewelry or clothing, sometimes both, and often it was an item that arrived or was finished literally hours before the event. "I wear all my jewelry," she told Metalsmith Magazine in 1991 (Donald Freundlich and Judith Miller, "The State of Metalsmithing and Jewelry," Metalsmith Magazine, Fall 1991) "I love to go to a party where everyone is wearing pearls and show up in a wild necklace …. I have a house brooch by Künzli – a big red house that you wear on your shoulder. I can go to a party in a wild paper necklace and feel as good about it as someone else does in diamonds." Sandy served on the Board of the by-then-renamed Museum of Arts and Design, stepping down in 2019.

From its inception, Sandy served as a trusted advisor, cheerleader and cherished client to browngrotta arts. She introduced us to artists, to her design clients and Museum colleagues. Questions of aesthetic judgment — are there too many works in this display? too much color? does this work feel unfinished? imitative? decorative? — were presented to her for review. (She was unerring on etiquette disputes, too.) The debt we owe her is enormous; the void she leaves is large indeed. We can only say thank you, we love you and your gifts will live on.

Olympic Art News: David Watkins Talks About Designing the Medals for the 2012 Games
August 5, 2012	arttextstyle0 Comment
London 2012 Olympic medals designed by British artist David Watkins.
The Olympic medals disk circular form is a metaphor for the world. The front of the medal always depicts the same imagery at the summer Games – the Greek Goddess of Sport – 'Nike' – stepping out of the depiction of the Parthenon and arriving in London.
Turns out that our family friend, and very talented artist, Davis Watkins, was selected from among 100 artists to design the medals for this year's Summer Olympic Games. For the Olympic bronze, silver and gold medals, Watkins developed a striking geometric design, juxtaposed with imagery on the front of the medal, which has since 2004 depicted Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, stepping out of the Parthenon. His design for the back of the medal features a 3-dimensional emblem that suggests the built structures of a modern city, a background grid that radiates energy, a ribbon-like form representing the River Thames, and a square, to balance the circularity of the design. Get a behind scenes view of the design process at the Crafts Council's web page: Striking Gold, http://onviewonline.craftscouncil.org.uk/striking-gold, where Watkins and his student Lin Cheung, who designed the medal for the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games are interviewed. If you are in London, the medals are on display at the British Museum through September 9th http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/london

With Wendy Ranshaw, Watkins is part of an art power couple (like Frida/Diego, Pollack/Krasner, and in our field, Stocksdale/Sekimachi, Rossbach/Westphal, Kobayashi/Kobayashi, McQueen/Mensing; Brennan/Maffei, etc.) If you get as far as Wales, you can see Wendy Ranshaw's solo exhibition of jewellery and objects, Room of Dreams, at the Ruthin Craft Centre — also through September 9, 2012 http://www.ruthincraftcentre.org.uk/08artists.html.


We are delighted that Beach Craft Spirits has been backed in parliament by our local MSP and we were lucky enough that he also took time to pay us a visit.
SNP MSP Richard Lochhead made a motion of support for Beach Craft Spirits.
Mr Lochhead then followed up the motion with a visit to our premises at Covesea near Lossiemouth.
He said: "I was delighted to meet with Lara and David to hear more about their plans to open a craft rum distillery right here on the Moray coast. Moray is fantastic hub for craft produce and clearly Beach Craft Spirits would be a fantastic addition to the local food and drink sector.
We have been crowdfunding since August to raise £35,000 to set up the distillery. The crowdfunding effort stops on November 9.
Lara and David are using www.Crowdfunder.co.uk to promote their distillery. They are offering seven different exclusive benefits packages for backers ranging from £15 to £1000.
Investors that donate a minimum of £15 will secure themselves a plaque with their name on it which will be displayed on the distillery wall.
Whilst those putting in the top level of funding of £1000 will get the plaque plus two VIP tickets to the launch party, two first batch bottles of spiced rum, two first batch bottles of intense rum, two first batch bottles of sloe rum. They will also get two Beach Craft Spirits t-shirts, one hoodie, two bags containing rum stones, two branded glasses, one 36Knots collaboration beanie hat. A £1000 backer will also take home an exclusive 3-year-old aged rum in a driftwood presentation case signed by the distiller, be treated to a tour of the distillery for two people and they will receive samples every six months to help shape the new product development for the first three years.

StayLitG – Covid Come Up
by Jaleel M.
Though summer and fall are usually filled with festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza, the coronavirus pandemic has forced artists to trade massive crowds and well-choreographed productions for the intimacy of their bedrooms and the grainy video on Instagram Live.
Amid the crisis, the live music industry is indefinitely on hold. Tightly packed crowds in concert halls break virtually every set of social distancing guidelines, and 90 percent of independent venues are expected to close in the next few months if there's no additional aid. And it's local artists, as well as crew members, who have especially suffered during the pandemic.
The dawn of a new year and in this case, a new decade, is not only the perfect time to set resolutions, or look back on the past in favor or creating the future we want, but it's also an ideal time to look ahead in the music industry. In this case, that means predicting upcoming trends.
Musicians and industry, you'll want to listen up for this one—because the music industry is changing fast, and you don't want to risk being left behind.
More Power Will Shift to Indie Labels
This one isn't a huge surprise, given the way indie labels have been attracting attention even from larger name artists like XYZ as of late. But in predictions for 2020, experts are guessing that major labels will continue to lose their hold on the industry, and not only will indies become more desirable than majors, but that major labels will begin taking on some of the tactics of indie labels. For instance, more power shifting to the artist, more progressive splits, etc.
StayLitG is an independent artist you should get familiar with. Growing up in between Virginia & Somalia, he came onto the music scene in 2018, but not as an artist, as a very well known promoter / dot connector. Fast forward he now has music out in 2020 and has formed relationships with artists such as Pressa, Roddy Richs Team, YSL Camp, XO, etc. Be on the lookout and Stream his new single "JUNE" Grabbing influence from different shifts of culture from living in Somalia and Virginia are a huge part of StaylitG's story. He references gaining inspiration from not only big afro-beats artist such as Burna Boy but also the gate keepers of Virginia such as Timbaland, Pharrell and The Clipse.

La llei de mancomunitats provincials va ser una norma estatal espanyola promulgada per Reial Decret el 18 de desembre de 1913 que va regular i permetre la constitució i organització dels poders i recursos econòmics de les diputacions provincials. Amb precedents en un projecte de llei el 1907, la nova proposta va aparèixer el 1912 de la mà del president del govern José Canalejas, que recollia les demandes regionalistes, especialment les de les forces polítiques catalanes. L'assassinat del president va paralitzar la seva aprovació al Senat. No serà fins al 1913, quan, finalment, el nou president Eduardo Dato la va promulgar per Reial Decret. Tot i ser una llei de caràcter general, l'única mancomunitat provincial que es va crear va ser la Mancomunitat de Catalunya, el 6 d'abril de 1914, tot i que van haver-hi diverses iniciatives a altres regions, com ho va ser la Mancomunitat Castellana.</p>

Antecedents

El centralisme imperant durant la Restauració va veure's afeblit a causa de les progressives crisis succeïdes a finals del , amb els municipis i les províncies com a forces centrífugues, especialment la primera meitat del . En referència a l'associació de recursos provincials per a fins específics, la idea era present a les darreres dècades del . Els grans valedors d'aquesta idea va ser la potent burgesia catalana, sota l'influx de les Bases de Manresa, en confluència amb les forces polítiques predominants catalanes, com era la catalanista Lliga Regionalista. Les regions desitjaven un reconeixement legal pel fet de ser regions històriques amb una existència real. L'opinió política era diversa: els moderats com Francesc Cambó i Díaz-Aguado estaven satisfets amb la creació d'òrgans regionals amb poders de discussió sobre obres públiques, educació, ensenyament i els serveis socials, mentre l'ala més esquerrana aspirava a l'autogovern.

Les forces polítiques catalanes van intervenir en el projecte de llei de mancomunitats d'Antoni Maura el 1907, debatuda a la II Assemblea de Diputacions Provincials, celebrada a Sevilla. Les opinions sorgides a la llum d'aquesta proposta van acabar a les Corts: l'ala més conservadora era reticent a la proposta, durant el debat a corts, estaven a contra, perquè creien que no es podia imposar regions ni una nova divisió regional, en primer lloc perquè les províncies també eren una realitat; en segon lloc, els sentiments regionalistes eren forts només en unes regions concretes, no era un fet generalitzat; d'altra banda, Maura i altres representats creien que això era una reclamació d'una elit militant reduïda, no la veritable consciència regional de la població, per tant, el projecte de llei presentat, de caràcter moderat, satisfeia a tothom, si bé els regionalistes, amb la presència de Solidaritat Catalana, van contestar que l'única forma de conèixer la voluntat popular era a través a d'un plebiscit. En qualsevol cas, el projecte va ser aprovat pel Congrés dels Diputats, però va ser aturat al Senat, a conseqüència de la difícil situació política i social, despresa dels fets de la Setmana Tràgica de Barcelona el 1909, que va provocar la caiguda del govern de Maura i la paralització de la llei.

Presentació i debat

El 1911 el Partit Liberal, amb José Canalejas al capdavant, ocupava el govern de l'estat. A Catalunya, aleshores, la Lliga Regionalista tenia el control de la Diputació de Barcelona i aquesta força política va mobilitzar-se per constituir una òrgan supraprovincial. Va posar especial èmfasi el president de la diputació, Enric Prat de la Riba. El 1911 es va constituir una ponència integrada pels quatre presidents de les diputacions provincials catalanes que van elaborar les anomenades Bases de la Mancomunitat catalana, que preveia el traspàs de serveis de les diputacions a la mancomunitat, i la delegació de diverses facultats de l'administració central. Les demandes dels regionalistes, amb Francesc Cambó al capdavant, van ser presentades al president del govern, que va recollir aquestes inquietuds, i amb el ressò de la llei presentada anteriorment per Maura, el 25 de maig de 1912 va presentar al Congrés un projecte de llei curt regulant amb caràcter general la constitució i organització de les mancomunitats provincials i dels seus poders i recursos econòmics.

A pesar d'haver-se recollit les demandes catalanes, la llei proposada en el seu article primer explicava primerament i de forma explícita: «Las provincias representadas por sus diputaciones podrán mancomunarse para fines exclusivamente administrativos», i més endavant es van establir els seus poders, limitats a les facultats i serveis de les diputacions; i, finalment, les facultats en matèria d'obres públiques, d'instrucció o beneficència que el govern central estigués disposat a delegar a les mancomunitats. D'aquesta manera, el projecte va diluir considerablement les demandes aprovades per les diputacions provincials.

No obstant el fet que el projecte de llei distava de la proposta respecte de les demandes de les forces polítiques regionalistes, els diputats catalans van decidir donar suport a la iniciativa i van defensar el projecte, tret dels catalans lerrouxistes del Partit Radical, si bé van presentar esmenes, que si s'haguessin aprovat haurien augmentat el poder i autonomia de les mancomunitats respecte del govern central. L'únic que es va mostrar en contra de la totalitat del projecte va ser el carlista Juan Vázquez de Mella, que va titllar de tímida i fragmentària la llei. Per la seva banda, el Partit Conservador es va abstenir de participar en el debat, i l'oposició va venir més dels dissidents del Partit Liberal, principalment de Moret i Alcalá-Zamora, que entre els seus arguments, van esgrimir que la llei afeblia de forma perillosa l'estat i amenaçava la unitat de la nació; que suposava cedir davant les demandes catalanes, una de moltes, i que podria tenir un efecte dominó a altres regions del país, conduint al federalisme i la desintegració; creien que la reforma del sistema administratiu havia de començar pel nivell més baix, el municipal.

Tot i la divisió de postures sobre el text entre els diputats, la voluntat de Canelejas d'acontentar les demandes catalanes va fer que, finalment, la llei s'aprovés al Congrés dels Diputats el 17 d'octubre de 1912 amb l'abstenció dels conservadors i lerrouxistes i el vot en contra dels seguidors de Segismundo Moret i els de Niceto Alcalá-Zamora. Tanmateix, abans de passar a debatre's al Senat va morir el president Canalejas, principal defensor de la llei. El nou president, el comte de Romanones, va intentar que fos aprovada a la cambra alta, però no va superar la discussió i aprovació del primer article de la llei. Malgrat que el juny de 1913 es va tornar a iniciar el debat al Senat, la dimissió de Romanones va deixar un buit de poder i les corts dissoltes, sense possibilitat de debatre o aprovar res. A causa de la paralització, es va organitzar un plebiscit als ajuntaments de Catalunya, en què el 95,7% donava suport a la proposició de llei, a més de celebrar-se diversos actes reivindicatius en favor de la llei de mancomunitats.

Aprovació i efectes

Finalment, després del fracàs al Senat, seria el nou president Eduardo Dato, que prèviament havia rebut el resultat de les votacions municipals comunicat per Prat de la Riba, qui va fer realitat el projecte, va aprovar la llei mitjançant de Reial Decret de 18 de desembre de 1913 i després el text va ser refrendat per José Sánchez Guerra. Amb pressions de la Lliga Regionalista, Dato va promulgar la llei tenint en perspectiva la celebració d'unes noves eleccions generals, en les quals els catalans podrien manifestar el seu descontentament. La via del decret llei va ser proposada a Sánchez Guerra pels diputats Cambó, Abadal i Duran com una forma d'evitar el risc d'aldarulls populars. Amb aquest decret, el govern de l'estat autoritzava a les províncies a mancomunar-se i així quedaven integrades en una Junta General de les Províncies mancomunades, i un consell permanent de les dites províncies amb un president al capdavant.

L'única entitat d'aquest tipus va ser la Mancomunitat de Catalunya, aconseguida pels representants de la Lliga Regionalista i aprovada per Reial Decret el 26 de març de 1914, constituïda finalment el 6 d'abril, esdevenint el seu primer president Enric Prat de la Riba. La mancomunitat no va arribar a superar l'àmbit administratiu. Amb tot, a altres indrets d'Espanya la idea també va ser ben rebuda: el gener de 1914, la Diputació de Madrid va demanar a les altres províncies castellanes la participació en un debat per constituir la Mancomunitat Castellana, fins i tot van arribar a consultar a Prat de la Riba sobre com havien d'actuar, i van rebre el suport de l'ABC, diari catòlic de la capital, que mai havia estat a favor de les aspiracions catalanes. Una altra mancomunitat proposada va ser la zona de l'Ebre, que va ser iniciada per la Diputació de Logronyo, i que va ser rebuda per la Diputació de Saragossa, que la va transmetre a les altres interessades. Tanmateix, aquestes iniciatives no es van arribar a aplicar mai.

Canvi legal amb Primo de Rivera

Durant la dictadura de Primo de Rivera es va impulsar la reforma de l'organització municipal i provincial a través de dos estatuts; els motius que es van adduir sostenien que l'existència de regions es basava en l'associació de municipis i no pas de les diputacions provincials; els municipis haurien de ser els interessats en dur a terme la iniciativa de mancomunar recursos i serveis, i en tot cas, la regió tindria un caràcter merament administratiu i seria controlada pel govern central. Això va suposar un canvi en la legalitat, que va significar la supressió de la Mancomunitat de Catalunya, única constituïda, creada a partir de l'associació de les quatre províncies catalanes.
