Next week, 15th Assembly District candidate Buffy Wicks is expected to release year-end finance reports that show a wide breadth of financial support for her campaign. That same support, however, is not yet translating to the local Democratic Party grassroots.
Alameda and Contra Costa County Democrats in the party's Region 5 gave only token support for Wicks' campaign at Saturday's state Democratic Party pre-endorsement conference in Berkeley.
Local party leaders offered no endorsement from the current crowded field that includes 8 Democrats—10 total candidates—but that was expected. However, Wicks, a former political organizer and consultant for President Obama and Hillary Clinton, and who quickly raised over $200,000 through the June 30 filing period, received just 4 votes out of 79 cast.
Twenty-eight delegates voted no endorsement in advance of the California State Democratic Party Convention next month in San Diego.
Saturday's results instead gave a snapshot of how local party leaders perceive the race, at this point, mostly viewed as up-for-grabs, not only for a potential early front runner, but also which candidates will advance in the top two June primary.
In a surprise, Berkeley school board member Judy Appel received the most votes of any candidate. In addition, her support appears to cover a wide swath of the district dominated by Richmond, Berkeley, North Oakland and parts in between. Oakland Councilmember Dan Kalb, viewed as a top tier candidate, garnered 12 votes. .
El Cerrito Councilmember Rochelle Pardue-Okimoto's support Saturday was another surprise, receiving support from 11 delegates, including current 15th District Assemblymember Tony Thurmond. Pardue-Okimoto, a nurse by trade, also has early support from the powerful California Nurses Association.
Richmond Councilmember Jovanka Beckles, who gave a stemwinding three-minute speech to delegates Saturday, received 8 votes, followed by East Bay MUD Board Director Andy Katz, who did not attend the pre-endorsement conference, with 2.
Another surprise was the absence of support given by local Democrats to Ben Bartlett. The first-term Berkeley councilmember received zero votes. Tellingly for some Democrats attending the conference is the fact Rep. Barbara Lee voted no endorsement instead of supporting the nephew of her mentor, former East Bay Rep. Ron Dellums.
Owen Poindexter, the self-described "basic income guy," also was shutout of the voting.

Q: Rails Rendering JSON after Query - Issue: Overwriting similar SELECT field names Below is a query I make then render a json based on the results. However SELECT fields with the same name are overwritten for example meal.name and meal.id is being overwritten by restaurants.name and restaurants.id.
I tried the query string out in SQLite and it returns all the columns I need find, but it does not render properly as a JSON output. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Here is my rails code in my controller
    @meals = Meal.find(:all,
                  :select => 'meals.name, meals.id, sum(meal_ratings.rating), restaurants.name',
                  :joins => 'LEFT JOIN meal_ratings, restaurants ON meals.id = meal_ratings.meal_id AND restaurants.id = meals.restaurant_id',
                  :group => 'meal_ratings.meal_id ',
                  :order => 'meal_ratings.rating DESC')
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # show.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @meals } #
    end

Here are the results:
[{"id":1,"name":"Parkside","sum(meal_ratings.rating)":2},
{"id":2,"name":"Parkside","sum(meal_ratings.rating)":1},
{"id":3,"name":"EVK","sum(meal_ratings.rating)":-1}]

Here is the identical SQL command:
SELECT meals.name, meals.id, sum(meal_ratings.rating), restaurants.name
FROM meals
LEFT JOIN meal_ratings, restaurants ON meals.id = meal_ratings.meal_id AND restaurants.id = meals.restaurant_id
GROUP BY meal_ratings.meal_id
ORDER BY meal_ratings.rating DESC

Here is the SQL results
name|id|sum(meal_ratings.rating)|name
Pizza|1|2|Parkside
Pork Chops|2|1|Parkside
Spaghetti|3|-1|EVK

A: You could use SQL aliases to get around this problem:
:select => 'meals.name as meal_name, meals.id as meal_id, sum(meal_ratings.rating) as meal_rating, restaurants.name as restaurant_name'

Q: Unable to change values in JSON array via str_replace I would like to change values in an array. Here is my starting array:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => aaa
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => bbb
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [name] => ccc
        )
)

I declare a searchterm (eg. "aaa") and a new name for it (eg. "test"). And than I do a str_replace to actually change it.
Unfortunately nothing changes nor do I get an error message. Can you please help and tell me where my error is please?
for ($i=0; $i < count($json) ; $i++) {
    $search  = $old_name;
    $replace = $new_name;
    str_replace($search, $replace, $json[$i]['name']);
    print_r($json);
}

A: str_replace returns a string. I think you are trying to use it as though it alters a parameter that was passed by reference. Instead you should assign the returned value to the array at the correct index.
for ($i=0; $i < count($json) ; $i++) {
    $search  = $old_name;
    $replace = $new_name;
   $json[$i]['name'] = str_replace($search, $replace, $json[$i]['name']);
    print_r($json);
}

A: As the documentation says, this function doesn't update the array

This function returns a string or an array with the replaced values.

you need to update it with the returned value:
for ($i=0; $i < count($json) ; $i++) {
    $search  = $old_name;
    $replace = $new_name;
    $json[$i]['name'] = str_replace($search, $replace, $json[$i]['name']);
    print_r($json);
}

A: If you want to replace/change more than one name, I suggest you to use the below code.
// define an array with keys as new name and value as old name ( name to be replaced).
$change_name_array= array('test'=>'aaa','another_test'=>'bbb');
// loop the array
for ($i=0; $i < count($json) ; $i++) {
    // check if the name is in defined array
    if(in_array($json[$i]['name'],$change_name_array)){
        // get the key and replace it.
        $json[$i]['name'] = array_search($json[$i]['name'], $change_name_array);
    }
}

Out put: here aaa id replaced with test and bbb is replaced with another_test
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => test
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => another_test
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [name] => ccc
        )

)

Photos Inshore Fishing Offshore Fishing How's the Fishing?
Venice is a year round fishery that allows the angler the opportunity to catch trophy speckled trout, sight cast for redfish in the marsh ponds, the opportunity to catch bull reds on light tackle, flounder, and tarpon. Our diverse fish species are what bring fishermen from all over the world right to our backdoor.
Our eight captains have over 100 years combined experience fishing the Mississippi River Delta waters; they know the fish, the waters, the seasons, and they are some of the friendliest, most personable guys you'll ever meet.
"As the sun starts to peek over the marsh you'll ride to the water with an experienced guide that doesn't need waypoints and routes to navigate the vast expanse of fishable water. Once the boat is launched you'll make a final idle out of the harbor and it's a sight that even the most modern cameras can't fully capture. The next eight hours are what the trip is really all about.
The fishing is hard to summarize. Let's just say you'll experience the most fertile expanse of inshore water on the globe. And it'll be done with a guide that doesn't act like he knows it all, but probably does. The style and locations you'll fish will vary based on the time of year, river level, weather, tides, and many other factors....which is why you choose Venice Fishing Lodge in the first place.
As the fishing day winds to a close, the boat will be loaded, fish cleaned (if preferred), and it's finally time to relax and reflect on the day. That's easy done as you'll return to a kitchen full of appetizers and cool drink, and meal you won't soon forget. After a shower and more stories, it'll be time to repeat the process. A process that often times isn't repeated as much as you'd like..."
Our inshore fishing trips are included in our all-inclusive packages.

Placido Mandanici (3 July 1799, Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto – 6 June 1852, Genoa) was an Italian composer. He is best known for his operas. He graduated from the Music Lyceum in Palermo (1820), and then studied at Naples with Pietro Raimondi. In 1829 his first opera, L'isola disabitata, premiered in Naples.

From 1834 to 1848 he worked in Milan as an opera and ballet composer and taught at the Milan Conservatory. He was a friend of Gaetano Donizetti and was a part of the artistic circle centered on Countess Yuliya Samoylova. To Samoylova he dedicated his opera Il buontempone di Porta Ticinese (1841). Mandanici spent the last years of his life in Genoa.

We have less then 30 days before the DSCSA March 1st deadline. The first step in becoming compliant is creating a collaboration plan with your trading partners.
Collaboration by all parties in the supply chain has been the subject of discussion for some time. As far back as 2008, a survey of the Consumer Package Goods (CPG) industry showed that collaboration was one of the main issues concerning companies, with 80% of those surveyed saying that they were involved in at least one collaboration initiative and some involved in as many as ten.
Greater cooperation resulting from the change from an antagonistic to a cooperative stance.
With the advent of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), however, companies engaged in the manufacture, transport and sale of affected drugs have more than that to concern themselves with. DSCSA demands infallible traceability of prescription medicines and imposes on all parties the need to make sure that no failure in traceability exists. For manufacturers, wholesalers, logistics suppliers, retailers and dispensers, there is an unavoidable, unbreakable requirement to be able to track every consignment and every item on every step of its journey from laboratory bench to consumer.
No company involved in the chain can expect to meet its obligations unaided.
The first target date passed a year ago; from January 1 2015, trading partners have been permitted to purchase products only from authorized trading partners and must exchange transactional data on a lot batch level. Trading partners must have a system or process in place to investigate and quarantine products that are "suspect" or illegitimate, and notify the FDA and immediate trading partners.
From November 1 2017, manufacturers must add a "product identifier" to each individual package and homogeneous case of product.
From November 2023, the DSCSA will turn into an electronic, serialized records retention system.
Even if all the changes that need to be made in the supply chain affected only one company, getting them right would still be difficult. There has to be a commitment to collaboration at all levels from senior management through middle managers to teams on the front line. Chinese whispers can mean that the message that started out in the boardroom is delivered to the shop floor in a completely different set of words with a different meaning. But now we are looking for collaboration not between departments but between companies, who in the past may have seen their interests as to some extent in conflict with each other.
To take the most simple example, a manufacturer may be intent on getting a new product out into the marketplace as quickly as possible, while the distributor has one eye on skinny margins and is much more interested in getting cost out of product handling and storage (an article in Supply Chain Digital suggested that the supply chain contributes between 9% and 17% of cost in the end-to-end value chain).
The DSCSA exists and, difficult or not, collaboration has to happen. With the first of our timeline points already passed and the requirement in operation, trading partners must now be looking at the November 2017 deadline for product identifiers. It is manufacturers who have to add the identifier, but if others in the chain are to find the end result satisfactory, they need to be engaging with manufacturers in a conversation about how the identifiers are to be presented.
Some of this is taken out of participants' hands because the act says the product identifier is to be a standardized graphic (two-dimensional dot matrix) that carries the product's standardized numerical identifier (SNI), lot number, and expiration date in both human-readable and machine-readable format. For those without a clear understanding of how supply chain track and trace technologies work, here is a brief introduction.
Let's begin with the distinction between Master Data and Instance Data – or, Non-transactional Data and Transactional Data. Master Data is persistent and non-transactional; it contains a unique identifier; and it defines a business entity. "Business entity" does not just mean "company"; customer, location, employee and product are all examples of business entities that qualify for Master Data because they don't change. The product remains the product; the location the location; the employee remains the employee.
What DSCSA requires is that Master Data applies not just within the company but right down the supply chain from beginning to end. In the past, a product may have gone through six different identifiers on its way from laboratory bench to consumer; now, there can only be one. What we are suggesting is that 2017 is not very far away and logistics companies, distributors and everyone else involved should be engaging with the manufacturers now to make sure that the Master Data identifiers allocated by the manufacturers are acceptable at all stages in the process and that the definition of the data elements is understood and accepted by all parties.
An example of what we have described as Transactional or Instance Data would be a lot number allocated to a specific batch. That batch begins its journey from the factory and ends being broken down for delivery to individual consumers. Once again, the act requires the data to remain exactly the same from one end of the chain to the other and – once again – this is the time for everyone involved in the chain to be discussing what it will contain and what it will look like. If those discussions don't take place, the transactional data will still be created (indeed, it's created now at the factory) and everyone will have to accept it as it is.

Tech Review: AlphaGo reigns victorious but what's next for AI?
At the end of January the science world held its collective breath as Google DeepMind announced that AlphaGo had defeated European Go champion, Fan Hui, 5 times in a row. The victory for AI is billed as far more significant than Kasparov's 1997 chess defeat, but what is actually so significant about this? Why is Nature, the leading, global scientific magazine, giving this event front cover status? Is this just science egos at play or the beginning of a brave new world for us all?
To be a good (human) Go player, you don't need a photographic memory or a mathematical background. In fact, the most important skills are imagination and the ability to analyse a situation globally, correctly interpreting the bigger picture. Google DeepMind's developers initially used artificial neural networks to teach the program to predict an opponent's next move. Then the program was distributed within a cloud and configured to play against itself, each game improving core skills. What is unique and fascinating here is that this technique is more akin to human behaviour than software engineering.
So it now seems possible that future computers will be able to improve their skills through practice, without any human intervention. Potentially, they could learn extremely quickly leaving humans far behind. And they won't forget what they've learned as humans tend to do. Does this mean that a strong artificial intelligence may be our last human achievement? That everything invented after that would be created by machines, without our support and outside of our understanding? Although a world without hunger, illness and poverty sounds good, would we ever be ready for a life without any social divisions, fear, money or unfulfilled dreams? There is a fine line between heaven and hell.
This may sound like science fiction but there are signs that it could become a reality. Last year the famous Bilderberg Group Conference discussed advances in artificial intelligence in relation to important topics such as world terrorism, the Middle East situation and NATO-Russian relations. If the most powerful people in the world are discussing the implications of AI, maybe it's time to start taking it more seriously. At the recent International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) a petition was drawn up in opposition to using or improving autonomous weapons. Significantly, it was signed by more than 22,000 people including Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Noam Chomsky and many of the world's top AI scientists. If this sounds like a scene from James Cameron's Skynet, it's not far off. Swarms of military drones (that communicate with each other) are currently being tested by the US Army. AI is not fiction anymore. It is a sure future and Google's success shows it is not a distant one. In March a match between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol, the world's strongest Go player, is scheduled. It's time to decide who's side you are on.

That's what I'm getting at, actually. There are plenty of Infected that are just trying to get by. Vampires have it worse than Ghouls, since they can't just get fresh body parts from organleggers to sustain themselves.
At a certain point, supremacist groups and cults have a lot in common. You take someone who is isolated and alone, give them a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose, a sense that they are better than the people around them. You tell them that their problems are caused by outsiders, and you make them shun everyone else until they are completely dedicated to your cause. The guy at the top and his main disciples are almost certainly monsters. But most of the people involved likely are the same kind of people as the ghouls who used to live in Ghoultown before Bug City, people who simply had nowhere else to go.
Painting all the Infected as scary and dangerous as some may want to is as bad as people who say they're all sparkly and emo.
You guys keep forgetting the evil that is the tax man.
At least Death only comes once.
CanRay! You're back!
Vampires just need metahuman blood, which is less useful to Organleggers than the fleshy bits Ghouls eat. If they're already used to dealing with ghouls, as most Organleggers probably are, then sticking a bucket under the drain-hole on the butchering table and selling the "runoff" is just good use of resources, if they have a potential client looking for it.
And Infected are scary and dangerous at anything approaching PC-level stats... thing is, so is a Street Samurai, an Adept, a Mage, a Rigger/Hacker, or just about any other Shadowrunner.
Those 20+ DP combat pools Sams and Adepts take for granted represent someone who is at the upper limits of magically/technically-augmented human lethality; the kinds of people that are better than real-world legends like Audy Murphy, Simo Hayha, Sun Tsu, and Leonidas could ever hope to be. Hackers run state-of-the-art programs and hardware, blowing through security and twisting the Matrix to their whims while the Riggers launch surprise attacks with invisible combat drones sporting military grade weapons. And don't forget Mages... they can call down spirits that appear from nowhere, laughing at the weapons turned against them, to wreck havoc on command as the Mage himself bends reality to his will to fling fire and lightning, heal deadly wounds in moments, and even subvert your very thoughts to his ends.
Any 400 BP character is scary and dangerous. Scary and dangerous is what Shadowrun is all about.

Vampires just need metahuman blood....
Um...no. Of the things that vampires need to survive, blood is the easiest and least harmful thing to acquire.

The rep is dead. Long live the rep.
They also need essence...

After looking at Runner's Companion, yes it seems I did indeed forget Ghouls don't have Essence Loss like the Type 1 Infected do. Oh I'm such a horrible, horrible person for not thoroughly checking the books before I make a comment about anything in the game. Whatever shall I do with myself.
Still doesn't change the fact that not only can Vampires hide what they are better than Ghouls, but Essence Drain is much more... subtle... than gnawing on someone's face, and makes the person want to come back for more. Given how callous towards human life the average non-Infected PC is in this game, a Vampire could easily salve their conscience by paying willing (if stupid) donors for their Essence and not taking that last point... or, if they just don't give a crap, just taking the money back and handing the body off to the aforementioned Organleggers / Ghouls after they're done with it and getting paid for their snack.
Part of my whole thesis regarding HMHVV is that the disease fucks with you, eats you alive from the inside. The disease itself is evil and malicious, and it tries to corrupt everything about its victims. Some of them embrace that, others fight it.
The big-bad in ARN? Probably would have turned out to be a complete stain on humanity even without being turned. He's ruthless and cruel, has way more money than is good for him, and he enjoys what he's become. Teresa Castillo? Probably a lot the same; she wasn't quite right when she was human, and after she got Infected she got worse. They were probably born monsters, or found it easy to become monsters as they grew up.
The central character in "Sail Away Sweet Sister" (the story formerly known as "After Midnight"), though? Not so much. Nice kid who got Infected and hates it, and what it's doing to her.
It's not all cut-and-dried. I mean, ultimately, yeah, you're right to a degree. "We" is a bunch of Infected-supremacist terrorists. But I don't think anything's ever that simple, and if it comes across that way...well, I'm doing something wrong.
Really very important for me to get a grip on infected at all is: The origin of HMHVV. Where does it come from. What the hell is this virus supposed to achieve...this is not any evolution thing...this virus must have been designed and released from somewhere.Because its virulence is too damn high. And because it not only spreads too fast. but it makes carriers kill another possible hosts, so it limits the posssibility of infection on the other side. Its completely sucesfull, this virus destroys itself and every possible host. So where the hell does it came from...

C'mon, Dude. There's no call for that level of snark, when folks were just politely correcting you.

Fair point and well said. While my preference leans towards the dark/scary (I don't think everything needs to have a "good" side), there is nothing wrong with any portrayal as long as it fits within the context of the campaign and the GM/player preferences.
Quote from: Critias on <03-29-12/1025:13>
Yeah, in retrospect that was a little uncalled-for; after the day I had, I was feeling a touch cranky and defensive there.
Quote from: AJCarrington on <03-29-12/1033:22>
Cullen strain doesnt count. It is Possitive quality
Part of me really thinks that I should move this to another thread, since this really isn't about upcoming releases anymore (except in the vaguest sense, since "Sister" isn't even on the production schedule yet since I've not technically, formally pitched it to Jason and Peter just yet). I'm loath to do it, though, because of issues of momentum and inertia that are just as real in coversation as they are in physics.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of the ones trying to get by are lying to themselves, as are some of the people trying to help them. I think "Infected rights" is a tragedy and a travesty, not because I think the Infected need to be marginalized and exterminated, but because I think they need to be cured. When you create this "rights movement" and create a new class of victims, you demonstrate acceptance, and nothing gets done because now it's acceptable.
Thomas McAllister doesn't want "Infected rights," he wants a cure for HMHVV. Mr. Big doesn't want them because he thinks it's insulting and unnatural. They both have their reasons, and they're both blind in their own way.
Vampires (and I use the term very generically here) are mostly just holding on, hoping that they can become not-monsters again somehow. And most of them justify their monster-ness to themselves, telling themselves that they're just victims and can't help themselves...which is true. That they fight it is commendable. Doesn't for an instant make them not-monsters. That's where the delusion sets in, IMO. They think because they fight it, they're not monsters. This is not the case, and it drives some of them mad.
If I sound self-contradictory in places...well, in some cases I am. As I said elsewhere, it's complex (and I know you get that, but I feel the need to point it out again for some of the rest of the audience, who might just be joining the show already in progress, as it were).
Yes and no. Yes, because you really do seem to understand the dynamic of how these things really work. No, because it's not always universal, IMO. I don't want to give too much away, but I don't think that most of the people in Mr. Big's organization are brainwashed drone-soldiers (though, to be fair, Teresa was). Mr. Big provided them with organization and logistical support, but most of the organization would be doing more or less the same thing without him.
I can't really argue with this, even though in some ways I'm one of the guilty parties....
Not even going to get involved with this one. I question 400 BP being "scary and dangerous," but that's just a personal preference issue. I do agree, though, that this is what the game should be about. To a degree.
Happens. Don't sweat it. My point was that it's more than just blood; didn't mean to stir things up and cause snark increases. Hope your day is improving; I know I hate it when mine go south.
Still doesn't change the fact that not only can Vampires hide what they are better than Ghouls, but Essence Drain is much more... subtle... than gnawing on someone's face, and makes the person want to come back for more.
Well, sorta. Lots of things are more subtle than that, at least in appearance. Actual damage to the person involved...the face-gnawing might be easier to deal with....
Given how callous towards human life the average non-Infected PC is in this game, a Vampire could easily salve their conscience by paying willing (if stupid) donors for their Essence and not taking that last point... or, if they just don't give a crap, just taking the money back and handing the body off to the aforementioned Organleggers / Ghouls after they're done with it and getting paid for their snack.
We must play in very different sorts of games. I don't tend to see the sort of callous disregard for life in groups I've played with that you appear to see. Not to say the PCs were saints, but they weren't callous about killing, in my experience. Maybe it's just me.
Quote from: Sichr on <03-29-12/0946:45>
I have some theories on this. I'm not sure at the moment how to get them into the fiction effectively, especially since some of those theories deal with the Fourth World. If I come up with something on how to pass those theories on, I'll let you know.

Q: Client validate jquery plugin doesn't work I use for client validation the jquery plugin on the path assets\javascripts\jquery.validate.js (rails 3.2). But it doesn't work. My form:

     update_name_phone_city_user_registration_path,
      :html => { :id => "form_edit_name", :method => :put }, :remote => true) do |f| %>

             10 %>

       "submit" %>

My application.js file:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap-modal
//= require_tree .

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#form_edit_name").validate({
   debug: true,
   rules: {
      "user[name]": {
        required: true,
        minlength: 2
      },
    "user[name]": {
      required: 'Your username is required',
      minlength: 'The minimum number of characters is 2'
     }

     alert("ok");
   });

});

What's wrong?
UPD 1 The generated HTML- code

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/users" class="edit_user" id="form_edit_name" method="post">

Name

        <input id="user_name" name="user[name]" size="30" type="text" value="" />

</form>

A: assuming you are validating a test input like this
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />

try this
$("#form_edit_name").validate({
       debug: true,
       rules: {
          "name": { required: true, minlength: 2 },
       messages: {
        "name": {
          required: 'Your username is required',
          minlength: 'The minimum number of characters is 2'
         }
      }
    });

A: The solution seems to be placing the name value in the quotes.
$("#form_edit_name").validate({
   debug: true,
   rules: {
      "user[name]": { required: true, minlength: 2 },
   messages: {
      "user[name]": {
       required: 'Your username is required',
       minlength: 'The minimum number of characters is 2'
     }
  }
});

Venues / Churches & Cathedrals / Señor de la Humildad Chapel / Manzanares Chapel
Señor de la Humildad Chapel / Manzanares Chapel
By alex Monday August 31st, 2020
Photo: Monocromo82 on Wikimedia Commons
The Señor de la Humildad Chapel is better known as the Manzanares Chapel. Beloved, primarily for its tiny dimensions, it's an exquisite example of the Baroque of its time. That time though is something of a mystery.
According to legend, it's the sole remaining of seven hermitages ordered built by Hernán Cortés himself in the middle of the 16th century. The manzanares, that is, apple orchards, from which the street takes its name, are long gone. During the 16th century, the entirely indigenous population made their living, not just from the apples, but in greeting canoes arriving from Xochimilco on the Acequia Principal. A major waterway, it was closed in the late 17th century much to the dismay of that same population. We might understand something of the character of the area from that time.
Chapel of the Thieves
With the closing of the waterway, we can only speculate that the east side of the city spiraled into a resentment that lasted fully through the end of the 20th century. The Merced neighborhood has seemingly always been the haunt of the petty thieves and sex workers. In fact, the chapel is often said to have been the place where they begged forgiveness before returning to the same occupations later that same day.
The hermitage, rebuilt as a chapel, is not noted on architectural plans of the city until after 1793. Presumably, it was during the waning years of the Baroque period that this chapel was completed, in the place of what was likely a much humbler structure.
With a rectangular floor plan and an octagonal dome, the chapel measures a mere nine meters long by four meters wide. The square bell towers, unusual in the City Center bear paired pilasters and the semicircular arched doorway. The second body features the cross relief, guarded by two kneeling angels. Above this is the octagonal chorus window, with columns on either side.
Inside the golden Baroque altarpiece just fits the 20 worshippers who will fill the chapel to capacity. There are also sculptures of the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph and Jesus. The chapel, even outdoors, is always clean and well kept. This is taken care of by an order of Carmelite nuns.

A lot of children are scared of doctors, dentists and hospitals. Help them build a positive attitude with these hospital preschool activities. You may have to modify these activities a little to suit your setup.
Help children develop a positive perspective about injections with this vaccination activity, Get the children to pretend to be, or even dress up as doctors. All of them get play injections. The children have to vaccinate all the stuffed toys in the classroom. Tell them to talk to the stuffed toy nicely, and explain to it about the injection so that it does not get scared. As children are talking stuffed toys into getting an injection, they will be saying positive things about injections that will help them build a positive perspective. Use this activity to teach children about how vaccinations and injections help us stay healthy and get better, and how we all need to have them sometime.
Here is a hospital themed activity to teach a pre math skill. Help children to learn sorting skills with this pill packing activity. Give each child 3 bowls of pills ( preferably candy) in 3 different colors. Candy like M and M's make great pills. The child has to pick one pill of each color and pack it in a small paper envelope or zip pouch. In this manner, the child has to pack 10- 15 pill pouches so that they can be distributed to the patients.
This can be a fun physical activity around a hospital theme. Children are divided into pairs. One of the pairs stand at the end of a large open space in a horizontal line, about 100 m away, their partners sit in a chair opposite to them. The partner has to pretend to be injured on his right knee. When the game starts, the partner who is fine has to run with a bandage to the injured partner, put on the bandage and bring this partner to the start line. The only rule is that the right leg of the injured partner cannot touch the floor. The children will have fun trying to support their friend and helping him reach the finish line.
Teach children about what stethoscopes are. Get a couple of stethoscopes and encourage the children to use them on different parts of the body to hear different sounds. Children can try to hear heart beats, breathing sounds and stomach sounds. Use this activity to teach a little about different body parts and what they do.
Help children learn about visiting a person in a hospital. Visit someone you know, or even just the children's ward in a local hospital. Teach children about talking softly, not running around, and making a person feel happy in the hospital. Maybe even take some flowers or a get well soon card. When you get back ask the children about what their experience was.


Miller, the youngest MK in history.
For new Israel Beiteinu MK Alex Miller, the 17th Knesset will be all about student issues. That is not too surprising since he just finished being one himself. The 29-year-old Miller is the youngest MK in Knesset history. Only months before he joined Israel Beiteinu, he was serving his second term as Chairman of the Student Union at the ORT Academic College in Tel Aviv. "I came to the Knesset because I knew that I could continue my activities on behalf of students and become active in parliamentary work for them," said Miller. While most MKs have hung paintings and diplomas on their walls, Miller's remains empty. The new MK said he has been busy learning the system and preparing laws. "We have already submitted three laws on student issues, and have two more in the pipeline," said Miller. "My laws come from the public. I meet with many students and get many requests." Although Miller did not belong to a party before he decided to run with Israel Beiteinu, he said he had no doubts over which party he would join. "The MKs of Israel Beiteinu impressed me the most and I agreed with their ideology more than the ideologies of the other parties," said Miller. "Their parliamentary work was very serious." Miller moved to Israel from Moscow in 1992. He lived in Ramat Gan and Beersheba before moving to his current home in Rishon Lezion with his wife and four-year-old son.

ADVANCING UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS
In a world where people are barraged constantly by troubling media reports of human rights violations—ranging from deadly poison gas attacks to human trafficking, poverty and man-made famine—few understand their rights and even fewer know how to exercise them.
In its longstanding tradition of championing the cause of freedom for all, the Church of Scientology and its members seek remedies through sponsorship of one of the world's broadest human rights education and public information initiatives, United for Human Rights, and its program for young people, Youth for Human Rights.
The aims of these nonprofit, nonreligious organizations are twofold: Teach young people their inalienable rights, thus significantly increasing awareness in a single generation; and petition governments to implement and enforce the provisions of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the world's preeminent human rights document, and mandate human rights education in schools.
United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights support myriad activities and provide educational resources in 17 languages that advance this initiative at all levels of society. These programs are widely embraced and used by schools and churches, civic and community groups, human rights organizations, police forces, armed forces, and governmental organizations worldwide.
BRINGING HUMAN RIGHTS TO
The protection of human rights embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is now enshrined in the Mexican National Constitution, ratified by the states and signed by the President.
The struggle for human rights reform in Mexico is a deadly serious business. Cartels dealing in the trafficking of drugs and humans run the gamut of human rights violations—forced labor, kidnapping, torture and murder.
Youth for Human Rights Mexico was formed in 2004 by Mexican Scientologists and others determined to bring radical change to their country's ignoble human rights record. YHR launched its broad-based "What Are Human Rights?" campaign on every available grassroots channel—rock concerts, marathons, petition drives, and hundreds of seminars held in schools at every level. They also aired public service announcements on state television to millions, and broadly distributed human rights booklets with Mexican celebrities promoting human rights awareness.
In addition to their own implementation of the program, YHR offered their assistance and materials to the United Nations, state and federal agencies, educational institutions and human rights groups.
The National Commission on Human Rights used YHR materials in more than 300 seminars attended by 15,000 teenagers. Youth for Human Rights resources have been a key component of the civil liberties education program sponsored by the Ministry of Environment.
In the Mexican state of Chiapas, Youth for Human Rights trained 1,000 students and educators for the Agency of Family Development. Legislators then incorporated the full text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into the Chiapas Constitution, rendering human rights education mandatory.
Youth for Human Rights and others soon brought the issue to the attention of the Mexican National Congress. In a climate of increased awareness, the protection of the rights articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is now enshrined in the nation's constitution. The event signaled a renaissance of human rights for Mexican citizens, supplying long-overdue recognition that protecting the basic rights of its citizens is essential in building and maintaining a strong, modern, and free nation.
EDUCATED ON
"It is my honor to recognize Youth for Human Rights Ecuador for their valuable contribution to the training and dissemination of human rights in Ecuador, promoting a national culture of respect for human rights." –Coordinating Minister for Heritage, Ecuador
"I wish to congratulate you for having produced the film UNITED, which has the merit of not only being addressed to young people, but also of having been made by youngsters who have understood the importance of fighting together against racism, discrimination and intolerance. We also congratulate all the participants in Youth for Human Rights International." –Minister Counselor, Permanent United Nations Mission of Guatemala
"This is to commend you for your vital actions on behalf of human rights education, in particular to make better known the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I can think of no more important action for peace, and for aiding the respect we must each have for one another, than making these rights known and applied. The youth that are part of your organization deserve all possible help and encouragement in their work in their home countries. To them and those who help organize them, may they continue and increase their efforts, and may those efforts bear the sweetest fruit possible: peace between individuals, among groups, and among nations." –United Nations Development Programme Evaluation Office
UNIFIED NATIONS
PROPELLING A HUMAN RIGHTS CRUSADE
Nowhere on the globe is the fight for human rights a settled issue. Even where the rule of law predominates, there remains a clash between the forces of the citizenry and those who would deny or disregard inalienable rights. But as there is great strength in numbers and unity, the Youth for Human Rights education campaign provides materials and programs to organizations in well over 150 nations working toward full implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These countries include South Africa, Colombia, Japan and the United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Mexico and Taiwan—which, even in their diversity, are united around the common reality that human rights is the vital imperative to maintaining a free society.
"I am proud to offer my encouragement and support to the members of the Youth for Human Rights International Leaders of Tomorrow Club. In teaching youth around the world the importance of human rights, you and your colleagues are creating valuable advocates for the promotion of tolerance and peace…I commend your Club as well as the youth of the Church of Scientology for working to increase respect and dignity of all people in the furtherance of world tolerance and peace." —Office of International Religious Freedom United States Department of State

Bringing Reform to Mental Health


Have you heard of Terry Fox? He is a Canadian hero and 30 years ago today (Sept. 1), he had to stop his Marathon of Hope due to a return of his cancer.
I was 10 when Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope. I had been in hospital a lot and thought it was pretty cool that a sick guy from around Vancouver was out there doing stuff (yeah, that's the kid lens). As I got older, I got a better appreciation for the determination, courage and idealism that he possessed.
Terry Fox lost his leg due to osteosarcoma in 1977. Three years later, at the age of 21, he started a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran a marathon every day! He rested (didn't run) on only 4 of 143 days.
Let's think about this – a marathon every day? If I count up my running mileage, I run a marathon every 2 weeks. So, I'm taking up a new challenge and I invite you to join me. I'm going to run at least 6 days per week until I run 1961 miles. Note: may have to have a few walking days until my mileage increases.
Why 1961 miles? Terry Fox had run 3339 miles with an estimated 1961 miles left to reach the Pacific Ocean. I was 11 and promised to one day complete the run. As I grew up, I wanted to do something like him but I'm not naturally athletic and there never seemed to be enough time. Now with internet technology, a virtual completion is achievable. I do not want to take any of the credit from Terry Fox or the foundation but I want to satisfy that idealistic wish from my childhood.
Terry Fox was forced to quit when the cancer metastasized to his lungs. He had one tumour that was the size of a golf ball and the tumour in the other lung was the size of a lemon. Again – think about this I complain when I have a cold but he had large tumours and was running 26 miles a day! Surely, we can all get out there and do something positive whether it is helping our personal health or our community.
Terry Fox died on June 28, 1981 after raising 23 million dollars for cancer research and realizing his dream of $1 donated for every Canadian.
The first annual Terry Fox Run occurred on Sept. 13, 1981 and the annual Terry Fox Run now has millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over 500 million dollars has been raised in his name. I have never missed a run – even when sick or overseas, I have managed to finish.
A good description of the Marathon of Hope can be found here. More information, quotes, and donation possibilities can be found at the Terry Fox Foundation website.
A Canadian tribute to Terry Fox. The audio is pure Canadiana – quality and soundtrack.
A more polished version by the American ESPN.
There has been a lot of tributes to Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. The only thing that I can add is that he is my hero and I hope that I share some of his optimism and perseverance.
Wow. You are actually going to do this? Are you hoping to raise money for charity, it might be a good add to the stubborn turtle page. Inspirational stuff Catherine.
Keep running … and there is no "only" when supporting others. Every single contribution is a contribution, love your spirit!
