Albany, NY – SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) announced that 48 teams from 23 states and Washington, DC, were selected from the early set of applicants to participate in the "Solar in Your Community Challenge." Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SunShot Initiative and administered by SUNY Polytechnic Institute, the "Solar in Your Community Challenge" is a prize competition that aims to expand solar electricity access to all Americans, especially underserved segments of the population, such as low- and moderate-income (LMI) households; state, local, and tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations.
Offering $5 million in cash prizes and technical assistance over an 18-month period, the challenge supports teams across the country, enabling them to develop projects or programs that expand solar access to underserved groups, while proving that these business models can be widely replicated. Participation in the challenge is open to teams working to develop a portfolio of solar projects in their communities as well as those that are creating new solar programs that extend solar access to LMI households and nonprofits, in addition to technical assistance providers (consultants and coaches) that assist teams by providing the coaching and resources that teams need to create innovative new business models.
The selected teams are eligible to receive up to $60,000 in seed funding and/or $10,000 in technical assistance vouchers. Teams will compete to win $1 million in final prizes, including a $500,000 Grand Prize for success in demonstrating a replicable and scalable model for low income solar. Teams will be evaluated based on their innovation, impact, expertise, team composition, plan, and progress over the course of the 18-month performance period, which starts in May 2017.
These projects must directly benefit low- and moderate-income households, with at least 20% of the energy and benefits assigned to LMI households or 60% of the energy and benefits going to local governments or non-profits. Portfolios of solar systems must aggregate to be between 25 kilowatts and 5 megawatts in size.
Thirty-six experts and coaches were selected in the early application round to provide specialized one-on-one assistance to help teams work toward their goals. Teams can select the qualified consultants for their needs on the online "Solar in Your Community" marketplace.
The application deadline to be considered for the challenge is March 17, 2017. All participating teams will compete to win $1 million in final prizes.

Canada's wealthiest one per cent hold 25.6% of riches, new PBO report says
Jun. 17, 2020 4:20 p.m.
The concentration of wealth among Canada's richest one per cent is deeper than previously believed, according to a federal government report based on a new modelling approach.
The top one per cent of Canada's families hold about 25.6 per cent of the wealth — roughly $3 trillion — up from 13.7 per cent estimated under previous methodology, says the report from the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
"The distribution of wealth among households is heavily skewed toward the wealthiest families," the report notes.
"In Canada, a small proportion of families at the top of the distribution possess net worth that is orders of magnitude higher than the country's median net worth."
The amount of money held by Canadian families would total $11.7 trillion if they liquidated all assets and paid off all liabilities, about five times larger than Canada's annual gross domestic product, the report notes.
Real estate at $5.8 trillion and mortgages at $1.5 trillion are the single largest asset and liabilities categories.
The report adds that the top 0.5 per cent of Canadian families hold 20.5 per cent or $2.4 trillion of the wealth, up from the previous estimate of 9.2 per cent.
It was expected that the numbers would rise because the previous estimates were clearly too low, but the magnitude of the increase was surprising, said Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux in an interview.
"When we looked at the number from StatsCan in their survey, the wealthiest person had self-declared wealth of $27 million and we know that there are people in Canada that are richer than that," he said.
"We were not surprised there would be upward revisions but to that extent, I was personally surprised to see it was that much."
The new database calculation incorporates information from Canadian Business magazine's 2017 Richest People List, with figures from Statistics Canada's 2016 net worth survey and its fourth-quarter 2016 National Balance Sheet Accounts report.
Giroux said his office investigated new ways to estimate wealth in Canada following requests during last year's federal election to provide an estimate of the revenues that could be raised by a tax on wealthy families, as well as ongoing interest in tax reform by legislators.
Last September, the federal NDP proposed a one per cent annual wealth tax on fortunes worth more than $20 million, claiming it could raise nearly $70 billion over the next 10 years.
Unlike a tax on income, a wealth tax would apply to all assets, including real estate, with the aim of reducing financial inequality among Canadians.
At the time, the PBO released figures suggesting the measure could raise $5.6 billion in the 2020-21 fiscal year and rise to nearly $9.5 billion in 2028-29.
That number was arrived at by using certain assumptions and, while it's likely it would be higher using the updated database, it's difficult to say what it would be without extensive new calculations, said PBO lead analyst Nigel Wodrich.
The NDP plans to ask for that recalculation, finance critic Peter Julian said in an interview.
He charged that the Canadian government has deliberately withheld the "appalling" statistics so that inequality in the tax system which favours the wealthy over average citizens remains hidden.
"With a fair tax system, we would be seeing a vastly different distribution of the nation's wealth, a much more fair distribution," he said.
The PBO says it's not yet known if the wealth database will be updated on a regular basis.

Greg Vernick's sophomore establishment does not disappoint.
In the Comcast Technology Center at 8 a.m., the energy is palpable. People dressed in business attire are already sitting in the café and the high–top seating area with open laptops. The decor is sleek. White leather, light–colored wood and a backdrop of towering trees complement the natural lighting and high ceilings.
Greg Vernick's Coffee Bar—opened in October 2018—boasts a full–service café with breakfast, lunch, and afternoon menus and a barista bar with pastries, sandwiches, and cold–pressed juices. The Coffee Bar, affiliated with the Four Seasons Hotel, marks Chef Vernick's second restaurant after the esteemed Vernick Food and Drink.
We order the oatmeal soufflé, smoked salmon toast, and "eggs in purgatory," but before any of these dishes arrive, our waitress delivers a complimentary daily bakery selection. These pastries come on a tea tower and somehow taste better than they look. First, we try the lemon buttermilk scone. The lemon glaze elevates the lightly sweetened interior. Next, we split the strawberry, passion fruit kouign–amann. This pastry is our shared favorite. If you're looking for a classic, however, the traditional croissant with the house–made apple butter is also delicious.
All three main courses arrive at once. Each plate is elegant and thoughtfully done, reflecting the restaurant's aura. We begin with the salmon toast. The pickled red onion, dill, and everything–bagel seeds combined with smoked salmon, salmon rillettes, and salmon roe ensure that the small dish packs a lot of flavor.
"Eggs in purgatory" consists of poached eggs in red sauce with parmesan cheese and sourdough toast on the side. The bread is perfect for dipping.
Finally, we try the soufflé. This dish turns stone–ground oatmeal into a dessert. Fresh berries and maple cème on the side accompany citrus elements, currants, and nutmeg.
On our way out, we marvel at the display of pastries in the barista bar, and I order a tangerine turmeric juice shot to–go.
Vernick Coffee Bar lives up to the name of its chef and surpasses expectations of any coffee shop. I will be back—maybe to study, or maybe for a study break.
TL;DR: An indulgent breakfast from Philly's favorite chef.

Prison strikes – Between 150 and 200 prisoners will get a 14 day holiday release
©Belga
Between 150 and 200 prisoners will get a lengthy holiday release. This has been authorized by the Justice Minister, the RTL Info and Le Soir internet sites reported on Friday.
These releases are a "breath of fresh air" for the prison directors. They demanded this measure from Justice Minister Koen Geens because of a long-term prison guard strike. This 14 day holiday could be extended "if the current situation continues", Le Soir reported.
During the day, penitentiary establishments drew up a list of prisoners that meet the conditions for lengthy holiday release. This means they have a maximum of a 10 year sentence, have already had a similar release, and are not sex offenders, terrorists or radicalized, Marc Dizier told Belga. He is the President of the French-speaking association of prison directors, and runs Andenne prison.
10 prisoners at this prison will benefit from this measure, and will be released over the weekend, Mr Dizier says. "This is around the same as other prisons: around 10 prisoners for 15 prisons", he told Belga.

We have something a little bit different today it's a question from one of our listeners, that was actually asked last week on instagram. It's a slightly complicated questions with a simple but kind of long answer so I thought it would be easier to just answer it on here. Thank you Mrtwinkz for asking it and although this is a very specific question that doesn't apply to everyone the answer does, now I have paraphrased it, but I think everyone will get the gist, MrTwinkz is a middle aged man that works in an office environment, he's 6'2" and weighs 106kg or about 230 lbs which is probably a little bit overweight depending on how active he is. Back in March he was diagnosed with pneumonia and now from that he has asthma and COPD, aka. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which means the tubes that carry the air into and out of his lungs are more narrow than they are supposed to be, here's a fun fact the surface area of the inside of your lungs where the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange takes place is the size of a tennis court, which is achieved through these small sacks in a spherical shape called alveoli, this means that a very small amount of inflammation can make it incredibly challenging to breathe, if you ever want to simulate it put a straw in your mouth, plug your nose and then try to breath and you'll get a similar sensation to what it feels like. Mrtwinkz has a lot of trouble breathing and now he rides his bike inside for 20 minutes every morning and evening and goes for a walk every Saturday and Sunday for 6-8 km outside in the fresh air. These are both really good first steps and if the mechanism that caused the copd in the first place has been removed cardiovascular exercise can help prevent it from getting worse, but Mrtwinkz wants to do more he would really like to do some strength training presumably, so he can increase his strength and maintain or improve his muscle mass as he loses weight and becomes healthier. But with all these respirator issues he's concerned about doing the right exercises that will help and not hurt his condition, he has access to dumbells and his body weight, which are really the only tools you need, especially when you're first getting started.
The first thing I want to cover and this goes for all types of diseases or conditions that make it challenging to exercise is that it doesn't matter what your problems are or what we would call contraindications to exercise are, all the principles are the same, start where you're at and progress slowly, adjusting the resistance as required and as you become stronger increase the resistance or do different more challenging exercises and take breaks as you need to. Stop exercising immediately if you get short of breath in a wheezy or you can't take deep breaths kind of way, if you go from not sweating to sweating uncontrollably in a matter of seconds or if you get dizzy, lightheaded, feel a stabbing or shooting pain anywhere in your body. Then you should stop exercising, if you're sore in a general discomfort way when you first start exercising progress slowly and if you find the pain tolerable and the exercise doesn't make it worse or starts to make it better, then you can continue and just try to be observant of how you're feeling in the following days to gauge if you can lift more less or stay at the same weight. Becoming in tune with your body and paying attention to how you're feeling will help you gauge what you can and can't do.
When you're first starting out and you're not sure what weight to lift, er on the side of lighter to test and then if you can do 15 reps of a weight and after those reps you feel like you could still do more while at the same time keeping your form then you can increase the weight 5 or 10- lbs at a time using your best judgment. The bigger the muscle group or the more muscles involved the more weight you should be able to lift, most people could handle between 10 and 25 lbs. doing a split squat which is a leg exercise, whereas most people would be between 3 and 15 lbs. when doing a shoulder press over their heads. There is no way to know what you can lift until you start trying to lift.
In this next part I'm going to describe a workout, with very brief descriptions, but if you're interested in seeing the layout of an example workout checkout our show notes and I will give everyone access to Our Online Exercise Platform and if you want a course that lays all these steps out in great detail or want to watch some follow along programs where I show you the exercises and explain why I'm making that exercise choice in that moment there is a link to our Fitness For Beginners Course.
In terms of the workout for a general conditioning beginner I like to have it laid out like this, start with a dynamic warm-up where you do 3 to 5 exercises geared towards you focussing on your proper movement patterns and warming up the muscles so you're primed to do the actual workout portion, a good example of a warm up for you MrTwinkz would probably be a goblet squat, low trap punch, a glute bridge and push-up plus. This will basically warm-up your full body and help you practice the squat movement, the overhead movement with the low trap punch, shoulder blade stabilization and retraction with the push-up plus and low trap punch and your glute activation with the glute bridge.
In the warm-up 10 to 15 repetitions of each exercise is fine and when you get to 10 or 15 you should still be able to do more, that's okay because it's the warm-up. Then take a 45 sec to 1 minute break and you can shift to your working exercises where the object is to now break your muscles down so they have to repair back stronger than they currently are – I like to have beginners only do 1 exercise at a time or 2 back to back exercises in a super-set until they get comfortable doing the exercises properly and understand where their lifting capacity is, then they can make a bigger super-set or circuit if they want. A lot of places and bootcamps just throw people into exercise circuits where you'll do 5 to 10 exercises in a row before taking a break and then doing it again, but that's usually how people get hurt and I want you to avoid that. In-terms of repetitions I like people to stay on the higher end, so 12 or 15 repetitions in a row and the first few times don't go to failure, but then once you start to adapt then you can start going to failure once you are used to doing the exercises.
A big Leg exercise like a Split Squat – which is like a stationary lunge holding weights at your sides or no weights to practice first.
Each exercise should be completed 2 or 3 times and if you want to save a bit of time you can do two of them back to back then take your 1 to 1.5 minute break.
The final phase of the program is the cooldown which can be a combination of static and dynamic stretches and foam rolling or self-massage. This can help your mobility and help you feel less sore in the following days. When doing a static stretch I recommend you hold it where you really feel your muscle, but once you feel the muscle release pull it harder until you've done that a few times, usually it takes about 30 to 45 seconds.
I usually recommend you stretch all the muscles you used in your workout or pick 3 to 5 that are most relevant to you, in this program a quadriceps stretch, a glute stretch, a hamstring stretch for your thighs would be good, and a bowing lat stretch and a dynamic chest stretch like a snow angel would be good as well. Again head to the show notes we have tonnes of demos there.
MrTwinkz if I could draw this back to you specifically for a second, I know that when your first starting out sometimes it can be scary because you're not sure what to do, but as long as you start slow, increase the resistance as you get stronger and listen to your body you will significantly decrease your chance of hurting yourself and get the maximum benefit of the workout and as always ask questions as they come up.

It was Boxing Day when it hit me. The lack of light is really starting to get to me. It happens every year, I'm fine up until Christmas and then with January looming, the short days and the lack of sun begins to feel oppressive. The weather so far this winter has been particularly dull with this corner of Wales swathed under a thick layer of cloud. I can't remember when we last had some sunshine.
We were out walking the other day and I was looking up at the sky wondering how much light was actually getting through the cloud. Light levels are measured in lux. On a sunny summer's day light will measure around 100,000 lux compared with only 5,000 on a dull winter's day but worse still is that minimum lux levels for general office work is only 500 lux rising to 1,000 if more detailed work is being carried out. Is it any wonder people feel so gloomy in winter or when cooped up in offices?
Plants need sunlight to produce their own food but most need only around 10,000 lux to photsynthesise and reach saturation point at 12,000 lux. This sounds very low when compared to the 100,000 lux of a sunny day in June but then again is probably just as well bearing in mind the sort of summers we get here in Britain.
It's not just the amount of light that plants receive that is important for growth but also the amount of time during the day that they are exposed to the light. Different plants have different points, known as the 'critical period' when the change in exposure to light triggers flowering. For some plants it is when the days start to shorten and there are longer nights, such as Chrysanthemums these are known as 'short day plants', for others it is when the days start to lengthen and nights get shorter such as Calendula, these are known as 'long day plants'. There are also plants such as roses which don't appear to be affected by these changes and they are known as 'day neutral plants'.
Commercial plant growers can exploit the way plants respond to light in several ways. Some growers will artificially create short days when it is summer by excluding light for a specified time using blackout screens and likewise long days can be achieved by using artificial lighting that simulates actual daylight. These methods can be used to produce flowers when they would not ordinarily be available and also hold back plants so they don't flower until required, for instance Poinsettias for Christmas.
Some growers use 'supplementary lighting' adding to the natural light levels to boost plant growth and crop production. This is mainly used at the end of winter and start of summer for seedlings and young plants.
Bedding plants such as Begonias and Tagetes are often germinated in 'growing rooms'. These are spaces where all natural light is excluded allowing the grower complete control. Often the seedlings are exposed to light for 24 hours a day until germination has taken place.
Knowing how plants respond to light is not just important for commercial growers though. We've all experienced how young plants bend towards the light. This is because the plant's stem contains a growth hormone called auxin. Auxin collects mainly on the side of the stem that is in the shade and the bending towards the light is in fact the shady side of the stem growing more quickly that the other side. As growers we know to turn our plants and seed trays to allow even light exposure.
I find it fascinating how plants respond to light and that it is so complex and how humans have discovered how to exploit it. Although I do find it a bit depressing that some plants are pampered in glasshouses receiving the perfect amount of light when millions of humans are stuck in poorly light offices and spending a lot of their lives not getting the exposure to daylight they need to be happy and healthy.
If I was a plant I would definitely be a long day plant ready and waiting for those long summers' days to start flowering.

Southwest Airlines has issued an apology after one of its employees openly mocked a five-year-old passenger called Abcde.
As years and decades pass, the human race goes through trends. Whether its music, clothes, hairstyles, these things all come and go with the passing of time. All too often we see photos of ourselves from 10, 20, or 30 years ago and wonder what on Earth we were thinking. However, these things tend to work in cycles.
Clothes that were popular in the 1970s have come back around and are cool once again in the present day. This process also applies to a lot of names. You might hear what a friend or family member has named their newborn child and feel as if you have to talk them out of it. However, it is their choice, and some names are going to sound strange when they first become fashionable.
What most of us wouldn't do to a child with an out of the ordinary name is point at them and laugh. We say most because that's exactly what a Southwest Airlines employee did to one of the company's five-year-old passenger. Abcde (pronounced "ab-city") Redford was about to fly to El Paso, Texas, with her mom when she was openly ridiculed for her unique name, reports ABC 7.
The employee saw Abcde's name on her passport and began to audibly laugh, loud enough for both the little girl and her mom to hear. Said employee then proceeded to take a photo of the passport and posted it on Facebook. When Abcde asked her mom why the Southwest employee found her name so amusing, she replied: "not everybody is nice, and not everyone's gonna be nice and it's unfortunate."
Southwest Airlines has apologized to Abcde and her mother, but it is not part of the company's policy to divulge how it has dealt with the employee in question. It's not the first time an employee of Southwest has been in the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Recently, a Southwest baggage handler at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport was caught on camera throwing a box labeled "living fish." Not a good look.

Manhattan Beach community pushing to ensure Bruce's Beach task force is done right
Kavon Ward, middle, one of the organizers of a Junteenth picnic at Bruce"s Beach, speaks with Patrica and Vivian Bruce, relatives of the Bruce Family and previous owners of the area, in Manhattan Beach on Friday, June 19, 2020. Bruce"s Beach was one of the only places in LA County where African Americans could access the beach. It was taken over by the city of Manhattan Beach in later years and annexed as a city park. Then, decades later, in 2007, the city finally rededicated it and returned its name. (Photo by Axel Koester, Contributing Photographer)
By Lisa Jacobs | ljacobs@scng.com, Tyler Shaun Evains | tevains@scng.com and Tyler Evains |
PUBLISHED: August 24, 2020 at 5:16 a.m. | UPDATED: May 24, 2021 at 4:02 p.m.
The Manhattan Beach City Council last week took its initial concrete steps toward rectifying what has become an ongoing community concern: Making amends for past racism against the town's early Black residents.
After hearing a staff presentation on the history of Bruce's Beach – which a Black couple founded in the early part of the 20th century as an African American seaside resort, before Manhattan Beach's leaders at the time forced them out through eminent domain – the City Council created a task force that will look at various reconciliation efforts.
The city has faced renewed demands this year from many in the community to apologize and make up for Manhattan Beach's purposeful stripping of Willa and Charles Bruces' opportunity to build generational wealth, arguments that historical evidence suggests are valid. (The last time the city discussed Bruce's Beach in such detail was when they rededicated the park after its original founders in 2006.)
So creating a task force on Bruce's Beach is a potentially significant first step for the city.
And councilmembers, for their part, have said the task force will provide a sincere chance to look at the city's history.
"This is an opportunity to not just look at our past," Councilmember Hildy Stern said at the Tuesday, Aug. 18, meeting, "but to make a difference in the lives of those currently" affected by it.
But questions remain.
Will the task force, for example, lead to the concrete steps – such as restitution for Bruce descendants – that the community has demanded? And will the city go far enough and move quickly enough for those who say the Bruces and Manhattan Beach's Black community have waited for reconciliation for far too long?
Those who launched the movement to have the city address its history said recently they have their doubts.
"Why are you putting together a task force when we already know what we want?" said Kavon Ward, a Manhattan Beach resident and co-founder of Anti-Racist Movements around the South Bay. "Why aren't the Bruces being asked what they want?"
One of those descendants, Duane Shepard, also questioned the need for a task force.
What the city needs to do, he said in a statement, is develop an action plan. That plan, Shepard added, must include a call to Los Angeles County – which technically owns the Bruce's Beach property – to figure out how to return the land to his family.
What the Bruce descendants don't want, said Shepard, a family historian, is monetary reparations. Those who have asked for that, he wrote in the statement on his family's behalf, should stop doing so.
"We want the restoration of our land to us, restitution for the loss of revenue, for the loss of our business and home," he wrote, "and punitive damages for the (historical) lack of effort by the Manhattan Beach authorities to defend our family against these injustices and almost definite collusion in them."
Willa Bruce bought her first lot in Manhattan Beach in 1912, the year the city incorporated. She eventually built the seaside resort, becoming a haven for the Black community. More Black people followed her to the city, either to visit Bruce's Beach Lodge or to build their own homes and businesses.
But through some legal wrangling, Manhattan Beach succeeded in using eminent domain to take the property from the Bruce family, a process that was finalized in 1929.
Last week, the city-via its staff presentation-presented historical evidence that the move had racist intentions.
George Lindsey, one of three realtors in Manhattan Beach in its early days, spearheaded the move to displace the Bruces in 1921.
Some three decades later, Lindsey gave an interview to Manhattan Beach resident Robert Brigham, who ultimately published a thesis on Bruce's Beach. In that interview, according to the thesis, Lindsey said his motivations were explicitly because he wanted to push Black people out of the city.
And the idea to convert the land into a park was a pretext for doing so, said management analyst Alexandria Latragna, who gave Tuesday's staff report.
The city didn't actually want the park, Latragna said, but wanted to get African American families out of town. That part of the story was historically brushed off, she added, with a reference to Bruce's Beach Lodge on a plaque when the land was called Parque Culican inaccurately noting that "minorities were housed there."
Revealing that history was important, but, some said, did not go deep enough.
"I think they now have a better rounding of what happened in that time, so I'm glad," said historian Alison Rose Jefferson, author of "Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites During the Jim Crow Era."
But, she added, the history was still incomplete.
The report, for example, didn't speak enough about the accomplishments of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1927, Jefferson said in a letter to the council, which she wrote after watching Tuesday's meeting.
That year, she added, the NAACP held a "swim-in" protest during which participants were arrested and fined for trespassing on the public beach, for which the city had issued a lease to a white resident who intended to prevent African Americans from accessing the shore.
"The importance of the NAACP's civil disobedience action was not made clear," Jefferson, whose book includes a chapter on Bruce's Beach, wrote, "as one of the precursors to Manhattan Beach officials buying up the shoreline to make sure it would be available for public use."
This action and its results were important civil rights and beach access-victories, she said, not just for African Americans but also for all Californians.
And while the staff presentation did report on both Lindsey and developer Frank Daugherty's motivations, with the latter admitting to a local newspaper in 1945 that he wanted Black people out of the city, it failed to mention similar actions of one other prominent Manhattan Beach figure: developer and city co-founder George Peck, who was just as big a part of forcing Black people out of Manhattan Beach, Jefferson said.
Peck, the historian added, placed "no trespassing" signs on the strip of land in front of the Bruces' property in 1912, forcing African Americans to walk a half mile around his oceanfront parcel to access the beach.
Peck is mentioned prominently and appreciatively on the plaque the city installed at Bruce's Beach in 2006.
The city should look "at the achievements and issues of racism that the African American pioneers of Manhattan Beach" endured, Jefferson said.
As for how to move the city forward, those who have advocated for reconciliation have already begun pushing Manhattan Beach on the steps it should take – even before the task force has started in earnest.
Ward, who rents her Manhattan Beach home, outlined three actions for the city, for example. They are:
Restore the land to the Bruces;
Provide the family restitution of lost business enterprise;
And give reparations to all Black people via programs that will allow those with low and moderate incomes to own homes in Manhattan Beach.
And Kaitlyn McQuown, a resident who started the petition urging the council to address inequities associated with Bruce's Beach, agreed.
"When the city pushed out the Bruces, it destroyed opportunities for Black residents to build generational wealth and sent the message loud and clear to Black families that they were not welcome," McQuown wrote by email. "We must repair that damage by removing barriers for Black homeowners and business owners to move into the community."
Still, McQuown expressed "cautious optimism" about what the city's next steps might be.
Any movement forward, she added, should be celebrated – whether it renames landmarks to honor Willa Bruce, creates art installations to tell the history or issues a public apology acknowledging the damage done.
But, McQuown said, those actions will be largely performative without restoration and restitution to the family.
"It is uncomfortable to confront the story of Bruce's Beach and to understand that our community continues to feel the consequences of the stain of racism in our past," McQuown wrote. "However, full recognition that those effects still linger is the only way that we can collectively heal."
City officials, for their part, have said the task force will consider a wide range of options.
Yet, the task force itself is still a work in progress.
The city has yet to determine its full composition-though Councilmembers Hildy Stern and Steve Napolitano will head it up-or specific mission.
The city will flesh that out at its next council meeting, Napolitano said.
"We've been presented with a lot of ideas," Napolitano wrote in an email, "and council is going to discuss the formation and mission of the task force at our next meeting."
Still, many in the community have already expressed concern about who else the city will place on the task force.
Shepard (the Bruce descendant), for example, noted last week's discussion went on for two hours-yet no one suggested the Bruce family should be consulted, asked to speak on its behalf or be included on any committee.
That, he wrote, further illustrates the city's unwillingness to effectively resolve the injustices the Bruce family has incurred.
Ward and Jefferson also said they want to make sure the task force's membership is well-rounded.
Jefferson has already asked to be on it.
And Ward, for her part, said the city needs to include the people who returned the spotlight to Bruce's Beach.
"We forced you to have to acknowledge the history," Ward said. "And now we're going to have to force you to try to remedy it."
Napolitano, meanwhile, agreed the city needs to include as many voices in the discussions as possible-though he admitted there are likely no perfect solutions.
"There are lots of voices and opinions and we're listening to all of them," he said. "We can't pretend we're going to please everyone on this issue, but it deserves a deliberate, inclusive process.

By T. A. Hendrickson
A brick was hurled through the "Black Lives Matter" sign painted on the glass storefront of L.A. Road Thrift Store on Eagle Rock Boulevard in Glassell Park.
Surveillance footage shows the vandalism occurring at 12:30 a.m. by a person wearing a bandana mask and driving a blue Prius, said Matt Troyer, the store manager.
A resident who lives near the store and who had painted "Black Lives Matter" on his car window reported that the car's tires were slashed shortly before the incident at L.A. Road Thrift.
"This isn't about us, getting the window smashed," said Troyer. Rather, he said the incident shows how important and necessary it is to keep building community.

Apex Legends - are new Legends already on the way? Right now, there's no such system in Apex Legends so even a rudimentary kill replay - like the kind you'd expect to see in any other modern first-person shooter that's been built on a foundation of Modern Warfare - would be a welcomed addition. Or they might not happen at all - but at least there's proof that Respawn are thinking about them. What makes it even weirder is that we sold more units of Apex Construct in China the last seven days than during ALL of 2018 - apparently people are prepared to buy what they think is Apex Legends for $29.99, even thought it's a free-to-play title.

Q: Уведомление, которое не исчезает после закрытия приложения В операции (Activity) я несколько раз шлю запросы сервису, наследующемуся от IntentService:
int peopleCount = people.size();
int cur = 0;
for (Person person : people) {
    cur++;
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MailService.class);
    intent.putExtra("LAST", cur == peopleCount);
    startService(intent);
}

Сам сервис выглядит следующим образом:
public class MyService extends IntentService {
    final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 10;

    public MyService() {
        super("MyService");
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        Notification notification =                getNotification(getApplicationContext().getString(R.string.notification_about));
        updateNotification(notification);
        startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(@Nullable final Intent intent) {
         final boolean last = intent.getBooleanExtra("LAST", false);
         ...
         if (last) {
                try {
                    Log.e(LOG_TAG, "TRYING TO KILL NOTIFICATION");
                    NotificationManager nMgr = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
                    nMgr.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID);
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Exception: ", ex);
                }
            }
          }
    }

    private void updateNotification(Notification notification) {
        NotificationManager notificationManager =
                (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
    }

    private Notification getNotification(String text){
        Intent resultIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
        TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
        stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
        stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
        PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
                stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
                        0,
                        PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
                );
        return new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_main)
.setContentTitle(getApplicationContext().getString(R.string.app_name))
                .setContentText(text)
                .setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent)
                .build();
    }
}

Т.е. я хочу при первом запуске сервиса создавать уведомление, а когда метод onHandleIntent() выполняется последний раз - я хочу, чтобы уведомление исчезало (из области уведомлений и из панели уведомлений). И данный код вроде бы  работает так, как нужно... Но только в случае, если ничего не делать. Т.е., если ничего не нажимать, уведомление сначала появляется в области уведомлений, а затем, через какое-то время, исчезает. Однако если закрыть приложение после того, как уведомление появилось в области уведомлений, оно не пропадает и остаётся висеть в области уведомлений и панели уведомлений "навечно" (до перезагрузки телефона, например). При этом в логах всё равно в этом случае выводится строка:

TRYING TO KILL NOTIFICATION

а исключений никаких не выбрасывается.
В чём причина такого поведения? И как всё-таки решить эту проблему, сделать так, чтобы и после закрытия приложения уведомление исчезало?

A: Обязательное требование режима foreground сервиса - это уведомление, сигнализирующее о том, что он работает. Поэтому метод startForeground требует на вход notification и делает его не удаляемым до завершения режима foreground.
Когда foreground нам больше не нужен - мы можем вызвать метод stopForeground, передав ему флаг о необходимости убрать или оставить уведомление. Но в любом случае после вызова stopForeground уведомление можно удалить (даже если оно было выведено другим экземпляром сервиса, и этот факт используется как хак для сокрытия foreground).

An A - Z of Belgian beer
Everything you need to know, from Artois to Zot
Eoghan Walsh
A is for Artois. It may seem strange that the world's largest brewery has its headquarters in the Flemish university town of Leuven. But that's where AB InBev started, as the city's Artois brewery (of Stella fame), before gradually expanding to first consume the domestic beer market before emerging as a Belgo-Brazilian behemoth dominating the world's beer supply.
B is for Balance. Many casual drinkers associate Belgian beers with high alcohol content. There's some justification in this, given how many beers tip into double-digit ABVs. But despite these extremes, the best Belgian brewers are all about making beers with balance - not too bitter, not too sweet, flavourful but not overly so. The ideal Belgian beer is the one you keep going back for more of.
C is for Celis, Pierre. Given the ubiquity of Hoegaarden on supermarket shelves and bar taps around the world, it's strange now to think that it would not exist but for one stubborn brewer. When Pierre Celis opened his brewery in - you guessed it - Hoegaarden in the early 1960s he revived the local wheat-based beer style that had disappeared a decade previously. While the beer for sale today may not be the same as the one Celis brought back to life, he created a new beer category and sparked new interest in Belgium's then-dying beer traditions.
D is for Devilish. If the popularity of Belgium's Abbey and Trappist beers have taken a bit of a knock in recent years, the same cannot be said for their counterpart on the other side of the ecclesiastical divide - Duvel (local dialect for devil), and its many imitators, has experienced strong growth, aided and abetted by rising demand for strong blonde ales that drink light but pack a stiff alcoholic punch. And riding this wave Moortgat, the brewery that makes Duvel, has launched Duvel Tripel Hop Citra and Tripel Hop Cashmere, which in 2021 were joined by Duvel 6,66 - a blonde ale in the spirit of its predecessors with the alcohol toned down to a devilishly appropriate 6.66%.
E is for Elephants. Belgian brewers don't like to talk about marketing. Ask any of the old guard and they'll tell you it's what's in the bottle that counts and not what's on the bottle. But you don't build a global brand - and Belgian beer is still a global brand - without knowing a thing or two about marketing. And of all the Belgian brewery mascots created to hawk beer, probably the most recognisable are the pink elephants of Brouwerij Huyghe and its Delirium Tremens beers.
F is for Foeder. It may not be a wholly Belgian invention - the Brits were ageing beer in large wooden vats long before Belgian breweries took up the technique. But few other brewing traditions have conjured up the type of beers aged in massive wooden foeders (vats) in the cavernous foeder halls of the Rodenbach brewery. Numbering 294, and the largest among them able to contain thousands of litres of maturing beers, Rudi Ghequire and his crew take this liquid and blend it with freshly-brewed beer to make a marvellous sweet-and-sour brown ale unique to this corner of Europe.
G is for Gambrinus. King of the brewers and a mythical figure in European brewing mythology, Gambrinus - of Jan Primus, or Cambrinus - is claimed by Belgians as one of their own. No one can quite pin down whether he actually existed, but in Flanders they reckon he was Jan Primus, member of the Brussels guild of brewers in the 13th century and Count of Brabant. His name may adorn many beer brands around the world, but it is only in Brussels where they celebrate the annual Feast of King Gambrinus, a stone's throw from where the beer king's body is said to be buried.
H is for Hainaut. The francophone region in the south of Belgium that is home to a beer style likely to send brewers into raptures: saison. Emerging from farmhouse traditions based around supplying workers with something refreshing to drink after a day's work. The standard bearer of the style - Saison Dupont, from the Dupont brewery in the village of Tourpes - is these days maybe a little strong to work as a thirst quencher, but is a beautiful, peppery, complex beer.
I is for Idolatry. Belgium's monastic brewing tradition is probably its most famous beer export. Images of frocked abbotts peering into large copper brewing vessels in brewhalls fitted out with ecclesiastical stained glass windows are an essential part of the country's self-image. Even if they no longer do much of the brewing themselves, and as it becomes harder to convince men to take up holy orders, the Trappists remain the most famous exponent of this tradition. But it's the rare Belgian brewery that does not have an abbey or a winking monk or the name of a saint somewhere on one of their beers.
J is for Jackson, Michael. The Yorkshire-born writer and broadcaster who did so much not only to bring Belgium's beers and rich brewing traditions to the world in his books, but also convinced the world to come to Belgium and discover the beers in the way the brewers intended. It's strange to think of a world in which beer styles didn't exist, but Jackson - in books like his totemic Great Beers of Belgium - like an ethnographer or botanist categorised Belgian beer using language and descriptors we are still using today.
K is for Kerstmis. If Belgian beer is known for anything, then it's for dangerously drinkable high-ABV beers and a willingness to use ingredients in brewing that would make a German Braumeister blanch. The style that best exemplifies these two traits comes around once a year, when December rolls around and alongside it the country's seasonal Christmas beers. 20th century Belgian brewers took the template of sweet, dark Scotch Ales and amped up the booze and added signature spices (in modest quantities, mind) like aniseed, coriander and others, and created the Christmas Ale - a perfect warming accompaniment to cold winter nights.
L is for Lambic. If Lambic didn't already exist, then you wouldn't try to invent it. Lambic - involving complex grain bills, extended brewing sessions and old-fashioned techniques, cooled by ambient night time air, spontaneously fermented, and barrel-aged for anywhere between 12 months and 4 years - is one of the most fascinating beer styles, full of complex flavours and aromas. But it is also an important and tenacious cultural tradition that reminds us, when done correctly, of the pre-industrial heritage of beer.
M is for Merckx, Rosa. No, nothing to do with Eddy (the world's greatest ever cyclist - and greatest ever Belgian?). In an industry that, like much of the rest of the world, remains disproportionately dominated by men, Rosa Merckx was an early pioneer for female brewers in Belgium. She became the country's first female brewmaster when she was appointed by the Liefmans brewery in the town of Oudenaarde in East Flanders, having joined the brewery in 1946. Retired now, her signature is still printed on every bottle of Liefmans Goudenband beer.
N is for National Pride. Few countries have raised beer and brewing to the level of national fervour, but Belgium runs Bavaria and the Czechs close for the importance beer holds in the national psyche. In a land divided by culture and language, beer remains - alongside the national football team, and frites - as one of the few symbols cherished by everyone in the country, no matter where you're from or what language you speak.
O is for Orval. Could it be anything else? This unique, idiosyncratic beer brewed under the supervision of monks deep in the south of the country is good value for all the superlatives bestowed on it by drinkers around the world. Constantly evolving thanks to the addition of brettanomyces yeast at bottling, it is an iconic ambassador of Belgian beer, from the bottle to the cut glass chalice to the burnt orange beer inside.
P is for Pils. As much as Belgium's international beer reputation is built on strong, flavourful beers made in odd or unusual circumstances, the locals like to keep it simple. Bottom fermented lager beers, introduced in the late-19th century remain by far the most popular beer style in the country. Avoid the mass-market and seek out a Redor Pils (from Dupont) or a Contra Pils from Contreras.
Q is for Quadrupel. The nomenclature around Belgian beer styles can be both confusing and daunting. It's worth spending less time trying to make sense of what the name for a Belgian beer style means - most origin stories are a mix of myth and misinformation anyway - and more remembering the basic categorisations. Blondes are in the region of 6-7.%, Dubbels usually the same ABV but dark, Tripels higher in ABV and beautifully golden, and Quads (a style originating in The Netherlands next door) is more nebulous, clocking in anywhere from 9% to 14%, but usually dark and dense and rich. But don't worry too much about style categories - Belgian brewers certainly don't!
R is for Renewal. Belgian beer might appear to be this eternal tradition that has existed for centuries, suspended in amber at some unspecified time in a past filled with rosy-cheeked brewing monks. But one of the aspects of the country's beer culture that makes it so enduring is that it is constantly absorbing influences from other countries and other industries. The country's most forward-thinking breweries are making constant tweaks to the established formula to stay connected to the taste preferences of their customers. Today's brewers are, for example, taking aspects of contemporary American and English brewing - lots of hops, and lots of IPAs - and working to adapt them to Belgium's particularities, some well, and others less well.
S is for Speciality Beers. In Belgium, beer is generally divided up into two categories: Pils for all the Lager beers; and Speciaalbieren, or speciality beers, which means everything from top-fermented abbey and Trappist beers, to Lambic, Geuze and Kriek beers, and everything in-between. The speciality beer segment has seen its popularity rise since the late 1970s and the early 1980s when brewers like Frank Boon at the Boon Brewery, Kris Herteleer at De Dolle Brouwers, and Chris Bauweraerts of La Chouffe pioneered new flavours and new beer styles. You could also add a new category that is also growing at the moment, Low and Non-Alcoholic beers, but let's not spoil the fun.
T is for Tournée Générale. If the variety of flavours and styles is what makes Belgian brewing stand out, then what gives the country's beer tradition its heart is cafe culture. It is the comfort of table service. Or the pageantry of a fantastic beer, being served into the right glass, at your table by a surly waiter, and with just the right level of foam. Or the cafes themselves, remnants of bygone ages with tobacco tarred walls and odd smells. Or all of it together. And if you really want to ingratiate yourself with the locals the next time you're in a Belgian brown cafe, just shout "Tournée Générale" - "The next round is on me!"
U is for United Kingdom. It may seem odd to say that much of modern Belgian brewing owes a serious debt to the larger island nation across the English Channel, given how different on the face of it these two beer cultures are from each other. But geography is powerful, and whether it was Flemish farmers introducing hops to Kent in the Middle Ages, or English brewers helping their Belgian counterparts modernise their brewing techniques in the 19th century, there has always been a back and forth between Belgium and the UK - each enriching the others' brewing and beer.
V is for Verlinden, Hendrik. It isn't monks we have to thank for the creation of the legendary Westmalle Tripel. Or at least, not directly, because when they decided in the early 1930s to create a strong blonde ale, they brought to the monastery one of Belgium's leading brewing scientists, Hendrik Verlinden. Together with Verlinden they created a modern classic and the reference for Tripels.
W is for Wet Vandervelde, or Vandervelde's Law. Introduced by the Belgian government in 1919, the law severely restricted, and in some cases prohibited, the sale of spirits in Belgian bars. Some believe drinkers sought out higher-ABV beers to compensate, brewers very happy to oblige, and the country's love of strong beers took off.
X is for XX Bitter. In the 1990s, highly-hopped beers were non-existent. And then Nino Bacelle and Guido Devos came along with their De Ranke brewery. Their flagship beer was a - for Belgian tastes - extremely bitter pale blonde ale. Considered the most bitter beer in Belgium for a long time, this proto-Belgian IPA paved the way for a new generation of breweries willing to explore more overt hop flavours and profiles in their beers.
Y is for Yeast. Yeast is to Belgian beer culture what hops are to American brewing, and malt is to German brewing heritage. Few countries - and certainly no countries so small in size - possess such a diverse variety of brewing traditions and beer styles. And the uniqueness of many of these beers centres around the fermentation used to make them, be it the spontaneously fermented Lambic beers, Trappist abbey beers high in fruity esters, or sweet-sour acidity of mixed fermentation red-brown ales from Flanders.
Z is for Zot, Bruges. Zot in Dutch means crazy, and in what other country would a brewer get the madcap idea to build an underground pipeline to bring beer from the brewery to the bottling facility. But that's exactly what the Halve Maan brewery in Bruges did, installing a beer pipeline underneath the medieval city's cobblestone streets.

George Porter, Jr. is best known as the bassist of The Meters, along with Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli and Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste. The group was formed in the mid '60s and came to be recognized as one of the progenitors of funk then called R&B. The Meters disbanded in 1977, but reformed in 1989. Today the original group still plays the occasional reunions but the Funky Meters, of which Porter and Neville are still members, most prominently keeps the spirit alive.
Porter's rhythmic work in the Meters in lockstep with drummer Zigaboo Modeliste was epic. Those pockets, the long notes and fat holes, provided the cushion for Leo Nocentelli or Art Neville to play or sing over and created some of R&B history's most memorable grooves.
Few bass players in the history of modern New Orleans music are as storied as George Porter Jr. During the course of a career spanning more then four decades, Porter has not only made a deep impression with his work in the Meters, but he's notched session work with artists as diverse as Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffett, David Byrne, Patti LaBelle, Robbie Robertson, Tori Amos, Taj Mahal, Ryan Montbleau and live performances with Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Warren Haynes, John Scofield, Steve Kimock, Eric Krasno (and including recent studio releases with Warren Haynes and Bill Kreutzmann) just to name a few. Early in his career, Porter worked with seminal New Orleans artists like Allen Toussaint, Earl King, Lee Dorsey, and Johnny Adams, Irma Thomas, The Lastie Brothers again to only name a few.
Porter is also the band leader of his own unique long term project the Runnin' Pardners, well respected not only as a quintessential New Orleans band, the touring band continues to receive accolades on the jam band and festival scene. He has assembled some seasoned and talented musicians to join him on this project. Familiar Pardners -- Brint Anderson (guitar) and, Michael Lemmler (keyboards) and rising stars on the New Orleans music scene Khris Royal (saxophone) and Terrence Houston (drums). George Porter Jr. plans to keep a smile on his face." I feel like I am working towards something that will be remembered."
Porter has proven to be capable of the ultimate fusion of rock, funk and R&B, and has gained recognition as one of the industry's elite bass players. He continues to be not only an in demand performing artist but an accomplished studio musician and producer.
Today, Porter features that epic bottom end in his latest ventures with his own band the Runnin' Pardners.

Hybrid, Heterogeneous auto-scalable FPGA deployment
On-prem or Cloud FPGA deployment? Now you can enjoy both of them!
FPGAs have been emerged as a powerful accelerator platform for many applications like deep neural networks, machine learning and video transcoding. FPGA vendors have released recently powerful FPGAs that can provide higher throughput, lower latency and better energy efficiency compared to GPUs. Cloud vendors have recognized the power of FPGAs and have recently adopted FPGAs as a computing resource that users can utilize. AWS was the first cloud provider that offered FPGAs as a possible computing resource for the users.
Enterprises that want to utilize the power of FPGAs are often puzzled whether it is most efficient and cost efficient to deploy FPGA on their premises or on the cloud.
Hybrid cloud is an enterprise IT strategy that involves operating certain workloads across different infrastructure environments, be it one of the major public cloud providers, a private cloud, or on-premise, typically with a homegrown orchestration layer on top[i].
This approach is particularly important to organizations with certain applications that will need to remain on-premise for the time being, such as low-latency applications on a factory floor, or those with data residency concerns. According to the RightScale State of the Cloud report 2019, hybrid cloud is the dominant enterprise strategy, with 58 percent of respondents stating that is their preferred approach. AWS for example has released Outposts. Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a consistent hybrid experience. AWS Outposts is ideal for workloads that require low latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, or local data storage.
Until now Hybrid Cloud, was only available for typical general-purpose processors or GPUs. Companies that wanted to utilize the power of FPGAs had to select either on-premise deployment or cloud deployment due to the lack of a vendor-agnostic and platform-agnostic orchestrator. Moreover, until now there was a lack of frameworks for FPGA that offer auto-scaling allowing gradual scaling of the FPGA cluster depending on the application requirement. However, there are several cases where hybrid FPGA deployment is essential in enterprises. Especially when it comes to powerful FPGAs, where the cost can range from $3,000 to $10,000, the right provisioning of the number of FPGAs for on-prem deployment is very challenging.
Enterprise customers now have the option to adopt a hybrid deployment for their FPGA-accelerated applications. That means, that companies can purchase a small number of FPGAs deployed on-prem and if these FPGAs are overloaded, they can automatically scale it using the cloud resources. InAccel, using the unique platform-agnostic FPGA orchestration allows auto-scaling hybrid FPGA deployment in the most efficient way.
A use case on Hybrid Deployment
In this example, we show how a company can benefit from the power of FPGAs in hybrid deployment. We show an example where the application is first deployed in an Alveo cluster and when the FPGAs are overloaded then it automatically scale-out to the cloud.
Specifically, we show an example for XGBoost training. The application is first deployed on a server with 2 Alveo FPGAs (one U250 and one U280). When the number of requests for XGboost is increasing, then the cluster is automatically scaled out to include also an f1 instance in AWS with 2 more FPGAs (f1.4x). If the number of requests keeps increasing, then the cluster is further resized to include one more f1.4x instances with 2 FPGAs.
Hybrid Alveo/aws f1 FPGA deployment using InAccel orchestrator
The main advantage of the InAccel orchestration is that it is platform agnostic. That means, that when a function needs to be accelerated there is no need to specify the bitstream (configuration file) or the platform that this function will be offloaded. InAccel orchestrator automatically recognizes the available resources in the cluster and it will automatically identify the right bitstream for the configuration and the deployment of the FPGAs in the hybrid cluster. That way, FPGA-based acceleration becomes easier than ever.
Companies now have the option to select as many Alveo cards for the local cluster and in case of future needs they can automatically scale-out their applications on the cloud.
InAccel Coral FPGA orchestrator is a scalable, reliable and fault-tolerant distributed acceleration system responsible for monitoring, virtualizing and orchestrating clusters of FPGAs. Coral also introduces high-level abstractions by exposing FPGAs as a single pool of accelerators to any application developer that can easily invoke through simple API calls. Coral runs as a microservice and is able to run on top of other state-of-the-art resource managers like Hadoop, YARN and Kubernetes.
InAccel Coral FPGA orchestrator allows:
- Automatic scaling to multiple FPGA cards
- Seamless resource sharing of the FPGAs from multiple users/applications
- Simple API interface for integration with framework like Scikit-learn, Keras, Jupyter, Spark and languages like Python, C/C++ and Java
It serves as a universal orchestrator for FPGA resources and acceleration requests.
The following example shows the example that have been deployed on a local server with 2 Alveo cards (U250 and U280) and 2 f1.4x instances, with 2 FPGAs per instance.
The same configuration can be used for any other application supported by Xilinx Vitis or 3rd parties IP cores, such as data analytics, databases, machine learning, neural network inference, encryption, linear algebra, and genomics.
Coral FPGA resource manager is available for free in the FPGA community. The users can request a license and can start deploying their FPGA cluster on cloud or on-prem instantly. The free version allows to deploy up to 8 FPGAs per cluster. An enterprise version is also available with unlimited number of FPGAs, detailed monitoring tool and full support.
