Q: iPhone Flickr API callback URL when user fails to authorize I am using flickr's API to authorize an iPhone app by following their web based applications authentication flow. If the user authorizes the application a callback URL is called and everything runs smoothly. However, if the user denies the application, the browser is forwarded to another part of flickr's site, and because we are using a browser to authenticate in the iPhone, the user remains in safari. Is there a way for my application to know that it was denied by the user, return to my application, so that I can handle the denial and/or error gracefully?

A: I don't know the Flickr API at all and have never worked with it, but one idea that came to my mind is the following: Use an in-App UIWebView instead of safari and set the delegate property (UIWebViewDelegate protocol). Your delegate should then implement the following method:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

Through the request object you can retrieve the URL being called and check whether it fits the scheme of a failed authorization URL. There might be a more elegant way to check for a failure in authentication (in fact I am pretty sure there is), yet this should work.

It's a big, international omnilogy forum. We've got a lot of threads/topics. I think that we haven't a toy one. So, I started this. The reason is we got a new toy photo yesterday: -- two water guns -- a yellow-white water gun and a green-white water gun. "SUPER-POWER WATER GUN 强力水枪". Made in China. 3+.
A set of different toys: -- toy pizza, toy ice-cream, toy French fries, toy knife, toy plate, toy sausages, toy chocolate, toy burger etc. Made in China.
Big and interesting, pretty toy animals: -- toy dinos (toy dinosaurs), toy elephants, toy lions, toy whales toy doplhins, toy giraffe, toy shark, toy gorilla... I like that toy feathered dinosaur.
-- Plasticine toy sushi and other plasticine things.

Five Big Ideas We Should Be Talking About
by Sara Robinson | Feb 4, 2009 | Blog | 0 comments
"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized."
— Daniel Burnham, American architect
Most progressives understand by now that the battle over the stimulus is, at heart, a philosophical debate over whether we're going to continue with 30 years of failed conservative economic policies, or chart a new direction for the country's future, built on an economics that's grounded in investment in the common good.
Given the stakes, it's frustrating to watch the discussion in Washington and on the news shows wander away from obvious solutions ("Buy American" policies, mortgage renegotiation, and increased oversight of bailout beneficiaries are such no-brainers it's hard to believe anybody serious would actually waste precious time debating them) and end up mired in ridiculous distractions and nit-picky details. This is a moment for a big vision, painted in bold strokes. We need our own shelf full of challenging new ideas that will shake up people's assumptions, change the terms of the discussion, and expand the country's ideas about what's possible in this unique moment.
Kicking this around with my CAF colleagues, we came up with our own list of outside-the-box Big Ideas that nobody's talking about—but may be much better approaches than anything that's currently appearing in the economic recovery bill.
Here are five Big Ideas that deserve to have a much wider hearing if we're really serious about getting America back up and running.
Join us February 11 in Washington and online for the "Thinking Big, Thinking Forward" conference, featuring New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and experts from The American Prospect, Demos and the Economic Policy Institute. Learn more »
Buy failed banks and companies outright.
Back in early December, Michael Moore pointed out the basic insanity of giving $18 billion in bailout money to a company whose entire net worth wasn't even $3 billion:
You could buy all the common shares of stock in General Motors for less than $3 billion. Why should we give GM $18 billion or $25 billion or anything? Take the money and buy the company! (You're going to demand collateral anyway if you give them the "loan," and because we know they will default on that loan, you're going to own the company in the end as it is. So why wait? Just buy them out now.)
None of us want government officials running a car company, but there are some very smart transportation geniuses who could be hired to do this. We need a Marshall Plan to switch us off oil-dependent vehicles and get us into the 21st century…This proposal will save our industrial infrastructure—and millions of jobs. More important, it will create millions more. It literally could pull us out of this recession.
In a TV appearance that same week, Moore further proposed that the government divide GM's stock among employees and retirees in exchange for retiring their pension plans. This would relieve GM of an overwhelming benefits burden; and, at the same time, create a new set of shareholders with a deeply personal stake in seeing the company succeed.
Dean Baker is proposing doing similar deals with the banks. Rather than going with the proposed "bad bank," which is basically a mechanism through which taxpayers will continue to absorb bank losses for the foreseeable future, Baker says we should simply "rationalize" the banks by taking full government possession of them:
This is not interference with the market, it is the market. Bankrupt banks go out of business, but due to their importance to the economy, we can't let them be tied up in bankruptcy proceedings for years. Dealing with the matter all at once can both allow for a quicker fix to the financial system and also ensure fairer treatment of bank creditors…. If it takes possession of all the bankrupt banks at once, it can apply a uniform policy.
To force banks to own up to insolvency, bank rationalization can apply punitive terms to banks that fail subsequently and allow their creditors to hold bank executives personally liable for their losses. Such rules would lead to more truth telling from our bankers.
In short, bank rationalization is both much fairer and better for the economy than the bad bank plan. If only the people who missed the housing bubble can be forced to recognize this fact.
Both Moore and Baker have noticed that we're paying far, far more in bailouts than these companies are worth—and they're very likely to come back for even more cash in the future. We'd save a lot of money, not to mention critical time, by simply taking them over, reorganizing them, and then returning them to new shareholders who are willing to reimburse us for our costs.
(To those who insist —as investment banker and adjunct business professor Max Holmes recently did in The New York Times—that this would "undermine our free-market system:" Don't look now, but any "free-market" enterprise that's only kept alive through vast transfusions of taxpayer money is already completely undermined. And besides: don't taxpayers have the same right to demand value that any other investor does?)
Forget the "bad bank." How about a "good bank"?
European economist William Buiter argued in a recent Financial Times column that there are such serious problems with the whole "bad bank" model that we shouldn't even be discussing it. The biggest problem is that it offers the banks no incentive at all to change their policies, their leadership, or their way of doing business. There's no real guarantee that they'd loosen up their lending policies, or even keep the money in the U.S. We could very easily end up spending more hundreds of billions, and getting no stimulus in return.
Instead, Buiter suggests that we spend our money to set up a "good bank"—a taxpayer-owned bank that buys up the good assets from these banks (which can easily be valued); and concentrates government money to support new lending and investment, which would relieve the credit crunch and get the economy moving. In due time—he suggests three years, at minimum—the government could sell off its shares in the "good bank," very likely pocketing a profit as it returned the bank to private hands. In the meantime, the existing banks would close their doors, remaining only as holding companies charged with liquidating their bad assets over time.
In recent Senate testimony, Joseph Stiglitz outlined the kind of multiplier effect this kind of investment could have had if the same logic had been applied to TARP:
Assume $500 billion was used to finance a new set of banks, and those banks had a 12 to 1 leverage ratio. Six trillion dollars in new loans could have been financed—more than enough to sustain the core credit flow for working capital and trade credit, even if many institutions had gone under.
Why do we have to get stuck with the toxic waste? Rather than privatize profit and socialize risk, let's do it the other way around this time. If conservatives are serious about ending government waste, making sure we get our full money's worth out of these investments would certainly seem to be the right place to start.
Reinstitute the stock transfer tax.
Dean Baker again, this time writing at Talking Points Memo:
The U.K. imposes a modest stock transfer tax of 0.25 percent on every purchase or sale of a share of stock. This sort of tax would make almost no difference to a typical middle class shareholder. However, a tax of this size, with comparable taxes on various other financial instruments, like options and futures, would put a serious crimp in the money shuffling business that has wrecked so much havoc on the U.S. economy.
Furthermore, such a tax could raise a great deal of money, easily in the neighborhood of 1.0 percent of GDP or $150 billion a year. Imagine that we could finance national health care insurance with a financial transactions tax, or provide quality child care and pre-school education, or build up a green 21st century infrastructure, or maybe just have a nice middle-class tax cut of $1,000 per family.
There is no shortage of good uses for the money that could be raised through a financial transactions tax. This is the conversation that the country should be having. Instead of funneling tens or hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to the failed wizards of Wall Street, we should be talking about what they can do for us.
One of the best features of stock transfer taxes is that they discourage speculation and short-term trading, and are thus a proven way to prevent market bubbles. And this is hardly a new idea: the U.S. had a similar stock transfer tax in place from 1914 to 1966. It used to be a significant source of government revenue—and could become one again.
Close some prisons.
As I noted in a recent article, state governments are having a rough time right now in no small part because so many of them are bound by balanced budget amendments that prevent them from resorting to deficit spending as an option in bad times. Many of them are running deficits anyway, in direct violation of their own constitutions.
Given that state prison spending grows faster than education every year—and that prison costs are devouring state budgets from coast to coast, even as crime hits record lows—the first, best step toward balancing unstable state budgets may be to take a good hard look at how much we spend on prisons, and whether we're actually getting our money's worth.
And it may be an idea whose time has come. A recent poll in California found that voters of both parties ranked the public schools and health care as number one and two, respectively, on their list of public goods that must be protected during the state's financial crisis. Prisons, on the other hand, were at the very bottom of their list. They're more than ready to let this go.
Still finding the political will to do this is incredibly hard. Like defense contractors, the prison industry has a tremendous constituency, especially in the growing number of small towns where the prison is now the only major employer. Closing prisons throws thousands of people out of work. But it's also not the kind of public infrastructure investment that pays off in the long run.
As CAF research director Eric Lotke pointed out in a recent post:
Even as states spend nearly $50 billion on prisons every year and counties spend over $20 billion on jails, we build additional locked capacity. Even with U.S. incarceration rates at seven times historical and international norms, we build. Even as crime continues on its 15-year descent to levels not seen in 40 years, we find money to build even more.
The sacrifices we make to build these prisons are astonishing. Between 1987 and 2007, state spending on prisons increased by 40 percent (as a percent of the general fund). State spending on higher education decreased by 30 percent. We are financing our prisons by cutting our colleges.
We continue to build even though prisons are often disappointing for economic development. The best jobs go to people from out of town, and dollars spent on prisons have little "multiplier" effect. They don't generate future additional dollars of economic activity, as do dollars spent on transportation, schools and so forth. Every dollar invested in highway construction generates $2.50 of gross domestic product in the short term. Raising teacher wages by 10 percent is associated with a 5 percent decrease in drop-out rates. But still we shortchange our schools and other rural enterprise, and build new prisons….
That's where federal assistance can come in. Part of the infrastructure/investment/stimulus money can be directed to cover transitional costs out of the prison economy. A few billion dollars of federal money in the short term can help states break the prison hammerlock, and free them to redirect tens of billions of state dollars to other purposes—from schools to roads to hospitals.
Cutting money for schools, colleges, and hospitals pretty much guarantees that we're going to need more prisons down the road. The current crisis may be the moment we've been looking for to tell the private prison companies and corrections unions that enough is enough. We don't need what they're selling us anymore. And we can't afford it, either.
Lift the income cap on Social Security taxes.
One of the right-wing's favorite bogeymen is the specter that Social Security is headed for some kind of trouble. Most economists agree that this threat is extremely overblown (though Medicare really is in serious trouble, which has only gotten worse since Part D was passed).
Still, whatever trouble looms, there's one simple solution: Raise the income cap on Social Security contributions. As Lawrence Mishel wrote in an Economic Policy Institute article in 2005:
Many people don't realize that all earnings are not subject to this federal payroll tax. In fact, current law exempts earnings of more than $90,000 from taxation, meaning someone with a million-dollar salary pays the same tax as someone earning $90,000. Any public policy discussion addressing the potential financial shortfall of this program should rightly focus upon the dramatic growth of wages for top earners over the last two decades, a time when middle-class wages have remained relatively stagnant.
The consequences of this increasing wage gap are no small matter. If left to continue, it will result in extraordinary inequalities and the undermining of Social Security's financing. Eliminating the $90,000 cap, however, would erase much of the projected Social Security shortfall over the next 75 years.
Americans are already on board with this one: a Washington Post poll found that 81 percent of respondents thought that lifting the cap was a fine idea. If the working and middle classes have to pony up to support our seniors, there's absolutely no reason the rich shouldn't pay their full freight, too.
♦ ♦ ♦
These are just a few examples. The point is that in the middle of these tough times, things are becoming possible that have never been possible before. Small risks, small actions, or small ideas are unworthy of the moment, and of us. It's time for us to get beyond the old assumptions, and start to think big enough to stir the soul of the country.
Bernie Horn, Eric Lotke, Susan Ozawa, and David Sirota all participated in the development of this article.

Forever The Fallen was formed in February of 2008 by former members of A Breath Beyond Broken and Allied Enemies. The band was, and still is, built on strong friendships, and kept alive by a shared goal: the desire to spread a positive message in this scene that we are all a part of today. A familiar sounding blend of catchy melodies, driving bass, and crushing guitar work is held together by powerful, technical drumming; all while being kept fresh by electronic undertones and intricate harmonies. In June of 2008, the band went to Mudskipper Studios to record their debut EP, Convictions, with Fred Sladkey (Vallon, Seeker Destroyer). This CD is available now on Itunes, Rhapsody, Amazon Mp3, and at all shows.

Philip Paul Bliss (* 9. Juli 1838 im Dorf Rome, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania; † 29. Dezember 1876 in Ashtabula, Ohio) ist einer der bekanntesten US-amerikanischen Komponisten von Erweckungsliedern. Er verfasste auch eigene Liedertexte.

Leben
Philip Paul Bliss wurde im Dorf Rome im Clearfield County in ein armes, christliches Elternhaus hineingeboren. Sehr früh begann er für sich selbst zu sorgen; er lebte als Holzfäller und verdiente auf Sägemühlen seinen Unterhalt. Seine Musikalität und seine schöne Stimme zeigten sich bald. Von 1857 an erhielt er musikalischen Unterricht u. a. an der Musikschule J. G. Towners in Towanda, Pennsylvania; 1860 besuchte er einen sechswöchigen Kurs an der Normal Academy of Music of New York. Bliss heiratete 1859 Lucy Jane Young und hatte mit ihr die Söhne Philip Paul Bliss, Jr. (1872–1933) und George Goodwin Bliss (1874–1933).

Bliss begann, an methodistischen Camp Meetings und anderen Revival-Veranstaltungen teilzunehmen und arbeitete als zu Pferd reisender Musiklehrer. 1864 gab Bliss Musikunterricht in Chicago und machte so Bekanntschaft mit den führenden Evangelisten sowie Dichtern und Komponisten von Kirchenliedern der US-amerikanischen Erweckungsbewegung seiner Zeit wie etwa George Frederick Root und William Batchelder Bradbury. 1871 wurde Bliss Chormitglied und Sonntagsschulsuperintendent an der Hauptkirche der Kongregationalisten in Chicago. Er war an der Organisation zahlreicher musikalischer Zusammenkünfte im Nordwesten der USA beteiligt.

Auf Veranlassung des Evangelisten Dwight Lyman Moody trat Bliss in die Evangelisationsarbeit ein. Das Angebot der musikalischen Zusammenarbeit mit Moody lehnte allerdings Bliss ab, Moody wählte daraufhin Ira David Sankey als seinen musikalischen Partner. Bliss verband sich stattdessen 1874 mit dem Prediger Major Daniel Webster Whittle. Als dessen music director leitete er die musikalischen Darbietungen bei den Evangelisationsveranstaltungen und sang Sologesänge.

Am 29. Dezember 1876 kamen Bliss und seine Frau beim Eisenbahnunfall von Ashtabula ums Leben, als ein Personenzug durch einen Brückeneinsturz in eine 21 Meter tiefe Schlucht fiel. Dabei starben 92 Menschen.

Werk
Bliss stellte sieben Bände von Evangeliums- und Erwecklungsliedern zusammen, die zunächst in den USA eine hohe Popularität erreichten und bis heute in Gesangbüchern auch in Deutschland präsent sind. Neben der Komposition der geistlichen Lieder dichtete Bliss auch eigene geistliche Texte als Kompositionsvorlagen.

Besonders bekannt wurde die erste seiner Liedersammlungen, die 1874 von Bliss herausgegebenen Gospel Songs, die für die neue Gattung des geistlichen Gesangs namensgebend wurden – so auch im Deutschen die Bezeichnung Evangeliumslied. Die Sammlung enthielt bei Revivals bewährte Lieder, darunter über eigene fünfzig Kompositionen. Zusammen mit Ira David Sankey gab Bliss 1875 die Gospel Hymns and Sacred Songs heraus.

Unter anderem die folgenden Dichtungen und Vertonung stammen von Bliss:
 Whosoever Heareth, 1870, deutsch von Theodor Kübler als Wer da will, der komme
 Sing Them over again to me, 1874, deutsch von Ernst Heinrich Gebhardt als Schalle wieder im höhern Chor
 Will You Meet Me at the Fountain, 1874, deutsch von Ernst Heinrich Gebhardt als Treff ich dich wohl bei der Quelle
 At the feet of Jesus, 1876, deutsch von Theodor Kübler als Zu des Heilands Füßen
 Almost persuaded, deutsch von Ernst Heinrich Gebhardt als Beinah bekehret

Unter anderem die folgenden Texte anderer Dichter hat Bliss vertont:
 Precious Promise (Text von Nathanie Niles, deutsch als Reiches Versprechen)
 It Is Well with My Soul (When Peace like a River Attendeth My Way) (Text von Horatio Gates Spafford, deutsch von Theodor Kübler als Wenn Friede mit Gott meine Seele durchdringt)
 Hallelujah! What a savior
 Oft streust du Samen auf harten Weg

Von der rhythmischen Struktur her lassen sie sich Bliss' Erweckungslieder in zwei Kategorien einteilen: einerseits eher ruhige Lieder mit Dreierunterteilung (im 6/8- oder 9/8-Takt oder mit Triolen), andererseits Lieder, die durch punktierte Noten geprägt sind. Sie stehen in Dur, gelegentlich erweitert um Chromatik. Die Melodik basiert auf einer schlichten Harmonik aus den Grundfunktionen. Tonwiederholungen, Wechselnoten und Sprünge im Dreiklangsbereich wechseln sich mit Tonleiterausschnitten ab. Weite Sprünge, etwa Sext oder Oktave aufwärts, und eingesprungene Vorhalte (z. B. Sext-Vorhalte) treten häufig auf. Die einzelnen Liedzeilen sind meist aus wenigen melodischen Motiven in Wiederholung, Sequenzierung oder Umkehrung zu recht langen Strophen zusammengesetzt (8 Zeilen); vereinzelt treten Moll-Abschnitte auf. Typischerweise gibt es einen Refrain aus kurzen Zeilen mit aus der Strophe vertrauter Motivik.

In Bliss' Texten steht der Missionsgedanke im Vordergrund. Sie rufen zur Umkehr auf oder besingen die Nähe zum Savio(u)r (Heiland) Jesus Christus.

The Panther low-speed cooling fans range in form factor from 60 to 92 mm. They operate by converting a conventional low-frequency signal to a high-frequency signal. By operating at switching levels above 20 kHz, they produce a soft commutation resulting in quiet operation above the human audible range. At a fixed low speed, a Panther fan has a 1× to 3× decrease in sound pressure in decibels over a standard dc fan of the same form factor. Available sizes include 60 by 15 mm, 60 by 25 mm, 80 by 25 mm, and 92 by 25 mm. Dual ball-bearing fans are available for OEMs and range in price from $4 to $6.


Season 4 is about 1 month away but today we get a peek at what each episode is about.
Last season on Falling Skies, the human population in the new capital of Charleston reluctantly welcomed assistance from the Volm, a new race of aliens promising to supply the humans with a secret weapon that would win the war against the Espheni. After working together to destroy a major Espheni base, however, the Volm's real intentions regarding the Earth become murky. Meanwhile, Tom and Ann's rapidly growing daughter has begun to display remarkable abilities, raising fears about who or what she really is.
On the outskirts of Charleston, just steps away from perceived safety, The Mason Clan and the remaining 2nd Mass suddenly find themselves under brutal attack by a new Espheni war machine – and a new, deadly creation unlike anything previously encountered. Divided like chattel and spread to the winds, The Masons must each forge new relationships and abilities to survive. Treva Etienne guest-stars.
The Espheni reveal their new plan to Tom, and he is faced with an impossible decision. Meanwhile, Weaver and Pope investigate a way out of the Espheni prison, while Matt struggles to hide his true allegiance from the "Team Leaders" at the Espheni Youth Camp. Elsewhere, Anne leads an exhausting search for her daughter Lexi, while Ben's concerns about Lexi's increasing powers uncovers a devastating secret she's been keeping. Treva Etienne and Robert Sean Leonard guest-star.
Tom and the 2nd Mass hatch an elaborate plan to escape the confines of the Espheni Ghetto. Meanwhile back in Chinatown, after learning from Ben that Lexi has been keeping a deadly secret, Maggie confronts Lexi publicly. At the Espheni Youth Camp, Matt tries to talk Mira out of a dangerous escape plan. While trekking through the woods with her guerilla fighters, Anne has a flashback to her time in the Espheni Tower with Karen (guest star Jessy Schram), where a terrifying secret about Lexi is revealed. Treva Etienne guest-stars.

    var currentmonth = monthNames[date.getMonth()];
    var weekday = weekdays[date.getDay()];
    var currentday = date.getDate();

Francesc Busquets i Pujol, posteriorment Francesc Busquets i Mitjans (Mas Bosquets, Valldoreix, novembre de 1672 - Viena, 18 d'agost de 1734) va ser un austriacista que en el darrer any de la Guerra de Successió va esdevenir coronel d'infanteria.

Biografia
Fill d'Antic Busquets i de Maria Pujol, de Caldes de Montbui, fou batejat el 23 de novembre de 1672 a Sant Cebrià de Valldoreix; era fill de l'hereu del mas Busquets de Valldoreix. Als 20 anys es va traslladar a Terrassa, en casar-se amb Maria Mitjans, pubilla d'un dels masos de Santa Maria de Taudell, que pertanyia a la universitat forana de Sant Pere de Terrassa. D'ençà d'aleshores, va afegir al seu primer cognom el de la seva dona, tot signant sempre més "Francesc Busquets i Mitjans". Ben aviat, participà activament en els afers públics d'aquella universitat, i el 1713, quan era síndic de Terrassa, va prendre part en la Junta de Braços que acordà seguir oposant resistència a les tropes de Felip V.

Tot i no ser militar de carrera, vers 1714, va ser nomenat coronel d'infanteria pel Consell de Cent i formà el seu propi regiment, que es va integrar en l'anomenat Exèrcit de l'exterior, comandat per Antoni Desvalls i de Vergós, marquès del Poal. En aquest exèrcit va lluitar contra les tropes filipistes, amb Pere Bricfeus i Terns, Ermengol Amill i Moliner, Adjutori Segarra, Joan Vilar i Ferrer i d'altres resistents.

L'agost de 1714 participà en tot un seguit d'actuacions contra els borbònics a la zona del Bages (Batalla de Talamanca), Moianès i Plana de Vic, i en l'intent frustrat de trencar amb mil homes el setge de Barcelona. En caure la ciutat comtal l'11 de setembre, Busquets es va refugiar a Cardona, on fou dels darrers resistents de la guerra. Tot i ser comprès expressament en l'indult concedit pels filipistes en la capitulació d'aquella plaça forta, Busquets va ser perseguit, les seves propietats confiscades i el mas Mitjans devastat.

Hagué de fugir, tot deixant els seus fills, orfes de mare, a cura dels seus germans. Es refugià, primer, a les Balears, després hagué de marxar a Nàpols i, a partir del 1715, a Viena. Durant els gairebé vints anys que hi va viure, rebia el Diario, que era una assistència regular de l'aparell burocràtic imperial per a determinats exiliats.

Francesc Busquets, lluny dels seus, morí a Viena el 18 d'agost de 1734 d'un atac d'apoplexia. El seu cos va ser enterrat en el cementiri cesari del monestir de Montserrat de la capital austríaca.

But there is nothing to vote upon. Maybe the Committee Chairman would like a pack Committee Member to find and plan a large overnight experience- i.e. spening the night in a museum or naval ship museum. The Committee Member should do it. Period. No vote.
The CUBMASTER, as the Program person, identifies to the Pack Committee the need to do a Pack Family Overnight. The Committee, in plenary session, should determine a weekend that fits the Pack calendar. Then, the Chair asks his Activity coordinator (a MC) to find a volunteers to arrange/coordinate this event. THEN, the chair follows up, with encouragement and smiles and fresh hot coffee or cocoa.
There's a lot of ASKING in Scouting, followed by a lot of ENCOURAGING. Committees need to be collegial and run on consensus.
Not to mention the discussion of weather or not there was interest among the Pack families for such an event, if the Pack families could afford it, and how much, if anything, the Pack could afford to pay to reduce the per person cost (which for a "large overnight experience" can be VERY pricey).
Not much use mandating that the Pack will do a certain event/activity, and then have no one actually show/sign up.
No, there isn't any voting as such, but there is a lot of discussion about ideas, ways, means, and improvements on past things, as a Pack's registered adults work TOGETHER at their monthly Pack Leaders Meeting.
Yah, there are lots and lots of ways for committees to run, eh?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with voting, and nothing in the literature anywhere that says committees don't vote on issues. In some things, like recommending new MC's and unit leaders, they definitely must make a selection, and I reckon most groups make selections by votin'.
It's just fine in a cub pack, and often even best, if da committee runs by consensus most of the time.
BUT, there are problems with consensus, eh? Often passivity is confused for consensus, and passivity leads to opportunities for abuse. Treasurers embezzling, husband/wife teams running a pack for the benefit of their own children, all kinds of things. And a passive/consensus group often doesn't have anything in place to deal with conflict or hard decisions when they come along, where a group that at least conducts cursory votes does.
So dependin' on your CO and your pack, it very much can be a democracy, and sometimes should be.

As you can see in the graph below, only 12% asked about their customers' preferred frequency for direct mail and only 29% claim to be asking about their customers' preferred type of content.
33% claimed to collect information about the preferred medium for message delivery and 33% claimed to "still" be collection email format preference (that's' the difference between text and HTML emails).
Capture preferences – when will you get started?
I for one do not believe the numbers in the survey referenced are representative of what is going on in the real world. In fact, I boldly claim that the numbers of marketers whom actually collect preference data are much lower.
So what I am saying is that most email marketers do not collect much relevant information at all.In fact, a majority only bother to collect the email address of a new email newsletter subscriber. And while understandable – because of conversion ratio concerns and much more – it is quite sad.
Because if you do not know anything about your target audience, it is very difficult to be relevant, if not impossible.
So if you haven't started your venture to get to know your email marketing recipients better, now is a good time to get started.
Collecting relevant information about your subscribers at the point of registration – and as an ongoing process with existing email subscribers – should be mandatory for all marketers. When you capture preferences, you add a lot of value to the subscriber, but certainly also to your own email marketing communication.
Your attitude needs to change from sender control to recipient control.
In the Email Marketing Masterclasses and Workshops, I present, I often mention two important words – namely "Sender control" and "Recipient control". If you are like most email marketers, you are currently in the sender control mode. That means you are the king of what you decide to send to your email subscribers, when and how often.
You need to change that attitude. Move to recipient control. Allow your email newsletter subscribers to decide what they want, and then deliver it to them as best as you can.
Sure this requires a bit more work when compared to how easy it is to the send-and-forget approach that is mass email marketing. But it is worth it, almost guaranteed.
This is not Rocket Science. It is pure common sense. And common sense is more than a direct marketing book. Applying common sense to direct and interactive marketing is more often than not highly effective.

The Acting Chief Executive, Mr Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, today (August 7) expressed sorrow over the passing of former Chairman of the Tsuen Wan District Council Mr Chau How-chen, and extended his deepest condolences to Mr Chau's family.
"I am profoundly saddened by the passing of Mr Chau. Mr Chau was respected by different sectors of the community. He had long and outstanding public and community service, particularly in Tsuen Wan District. While serving as the Chairman of the Tsuen Wan District Council, he dedicated himself to enhancing communication between the district and the Government and made tremendous contributions to the development of the district. He was also an outstanding district leader who gave staunch support in different community building projects, sports activities and charitable work," Mr Cheung said.
"I extend my deepest condolences to Mr Chau's family."

The Crimson earned its fifth national championship in the last six years, including three straight, with the victory over No. 2 Penn (Harvard Athletic Communications).
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 1 Harvard women's squash team finished the season a perfect 14-0 as it defeated No. 2 Penn, 7-2, in the Howe Cup final Sunday afternoon for its third-straight national championship. The Crimson won the opening five matches, securing the title early against the Quakers.
Harvard (15-0, 7-0 Ivy) finished perfect for the second-straight season en route to the 17th national championship in program history with the win over second-ranked Penn (13-2, 6-1 Ivy). The Crimson has won 38 consecutive matches since a loss to the Quakers on Jan. 11, 2015.
Junior Alyssa Mehta and sophomore Sophie Mehta then clinched the title for the Crimson in the second set of matches. Alyssa Mehta fell in the opening game at No. 5 before rallying for three-straight victories, including an 11-2 win in the deciding fourth game, while Sophie Mehta swept at No. 8.
Junior Sue Ann Yong and freshman Amelia Henley rolled to wins at No. 7 and No. 4, respectively, in the final wave to secure the 7-2 win for Harvard.
The Crimson will be back in action at the CSA Individual Championships at Dartmouth next weekend, March 3-5.

Bans on best practice medical care represent one of the most extreme—and coordinated—political attacks on transgender people in recent years. These bills target transgender youth by blocking their access to best practice medical care, care that is backed by years of rigorous research and endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and other leading health authorities. These bills not only display a fundamental lack of understanding of transgender children, but they also ban access to medical care often by criminalizing either the doctors or even the parents of transgender youth seeking to provide best practice medicine for children in their care. For more on these efforts, read MAP's 2021 spotlight report.
State law bans or restricts best practice medical care for transgender youth (see note)(3 states)
State does not ban best practice medical care for transgender youth (47 states , 5 territories + D.C.)
State ban makes it a felony crime to provide best practice medical care for transgender youth(1 state)
State executives have attempted to limit or restrict medical care for transgender youth, but state law does not ban this care (see note)(2 states)
*Notes (and see "Citations & More Information" below the map legend for more information about every state):
-Alabama: In May 2022, a federal judge temporarily blocked the part of the state's law that bans medication for transgender youth, though the rest of the law remains in effect for now, including the felony punishment and provisions that require school staff to tell parents if a child expresses thoughts that they might be transgender.
-Arizona: The state's law (SB1138, 2022) does not go into effect until March 2023. The law bans gender-affirming surgical care for minors, though it does not ban other forms of best-practice medical care such as hormone-related medication.
-Arkansas: In July 2021, a federal judge temporarily blocked Arkansas's law from going into effect. This map will be updated as that case progresses.
-Tennessee: The state's law (SB126, 2021) prohibits medical providers from providing hormone-related medication to "prepubertal minors" (emphasis added). Best practice medical care for transgender youth only includes such medication once a youth has entered puberty, not prior to it, and this further illustrates how these legislative efforts reflect a fundamental lack of understanding of medical care for transgender youth. However, this legislation sets a dangerous precedent for further restrictions on medical care for transgender youth.
-Texas: As reported by Equality Texas, "On February 18th [2022], in the middle of early voting for the Texas primary elections, Attorney General Ken Paxton released a non-binding opinion grossly mischaracterizing medically necessary, best-practice healthcare for transgender children as child abuse. Shortly after, Governor Abbott sent a letter to the Department of Family Protective Services (DFPS) directing them to enforce Paxton's opinion." These actions do not change the law in Texas and are not legally binding (in fact, their very legality is being directly challenged in court), but they have nonetheless caused harm and even initiated investigations into families of transgender children in the state. These investigations were temporarily halted by a statewide injunction, until a Texas Supreme Court ruling in May 2022 ended that injunction. However, the Texas Supreme Court also ruled that the governor had no authority to order such investigations. This map will be updated as this case progresses. For more information and resources, see the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and Equality Texas.
4 % of LGBTQ population lives in states that ban or restrict best practice medical care for transgender youth (see note beneath map)
96 % of LGBTQ population lives in states that do not ban best practice medical care for transgender youth
8 % of LGBTQ population lives in states where state executives have attempted to limit or restrict best practice medical care for transgender youth, but state law does not ban this care (see note beneath map)
State Medicaid policies reflect varying interpretations of federal regulations that prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. Some state policies explicitly say that the state's Medicaid program covers medically necessary care for transgender people, whereas other state policies explicitly exclude such care. Still other states have no explicit policy either way. Importantly, even in states without an explicit policy, transgender people may still be able to access transgender-inclusive coverage or benefits. However, when states have no explicit policy, transgender people are more likely to report obstacles to receiving care, including being denied needed care.
State Medicaid policy explicitly covers health care related to gender transition for transgender people(26 states , 1 territory + D.C.)
State Medicaid has no explicit policy regarding transgender health coverage and care (15 states, 4 territories)
State Medicaid policy explicitly excludes transgender health coverage and care (9 states)
*Notes (see also the "Citations & More Information" link below the map legend for more info about every state):
--Arkansas' HB1570 (2021) banned best-practice medical care for transgender youth, and it also explicitly prohibited the state Medicaid policy from covering gender-affirming care for minors. See the state-by-state statutes for more detail on the law's other implications.
--Hawai`i is currently shaded as beige due to the current uncertainty of access in the state. The state has a 2016 law banning gender identity discrimination in health insurance, but the state also has a pre-existing regulation that explicitly excludes gender-affirming health care from being covered or paid for by the state Medicaid program. As a result, the current ability of transgender Hawaiians to access gender-affirming care through Medicaid is uncertain.
--Ohio policy explicitly excludes transgender-related care, but as of mid-2019, The Washington Post and Bloomberg News both report that state officials say they are not enforcing the exclusion.
--In Louisiana and Utah, the states have no explicit policy, but TLDEF reports that the individual health organizations that operate Medicaid in the state each have inclusive policies for covering transgender-related care.
For further information and details, please also visit the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF)'s Trans Health Project resources and research.
Federal law prohibits discrimination in health care on the basis of gender identity. Under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health facilities, programs, and activities receiving federal funding may not deny insurance coverage or care on the basis of, among other things, sex and gender identity and expression. This means several things for transgender people. First, sex-specific care cannot be denied simply because someone identifies as another gender. For example, a transgender man could not be denied care for ovarian cancer if such care is medically necessary. Second, "blanket bans" on all transition-related care are considered discriminatory, though some transition-related care can still be denied on a case-by-case basis. Finally, transition-related care that would be approved were it not related to transition cannot be denied.
If you have experienced discrimination in health care, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services within 180 days of when the discrimination occurred. OCR also investigates violations involving the improper disclosure or use of your private medical information.
58 % of LGBTQ population lives in states that explicitly cover health care related to gender transition in Medicaid coverage
16 % of LGBTQ population lives in states that have no explicit policy regarding transgender health coverage and care in Medicaid coverage
26 % of LGBTQ population lives in states that explicitly exclude transgender health coverage and care from Medicaid coverage
This map reflects state laws or administrative policies which explicitly include, explicitly exclude, or have no clear policy covering transition-related or gender-affirming care for transgender people who are state employees as part of their state employee health benefits.
State explicitly includes gender-affirming care in its state employee health benefits (24 states + D.C.)
State does not mention or has no clear policy regarding gender-affirming care in its state employee health benefits (11 states, 5 territories)
State explicitly excludes gender-affirming care from its state employee health benefits (15 states)
*Green states with an asterisk cover gender-affirming care but may require preauthorization or pre-approval for receiving it.
*Oklahoma has multiple plans available to state employees. According to TLDEF's research, two of these plans have explicit exclusions; one has no policy either way; and one has no policy, but the provider (Blue Cross) has its own policy that includes gender-affirming care. However, because this is a Blue Cross policy and not an Oklahoma policy, and the state has multiple other plans with exclusions, Oklahoma is coded here as having exclusionary plans. Please see TLDEF's research for more detail, or click "Citations & More Information" beneath the map legend for more detail about every state.

It is often said that the killing of dolphins in Taiji and whales in Antarctic waters is a matter for the Japanese to handle. Similarly, the Danes say that the people of the Faroe Islands must decide to stop killing pilot "whales" (which are actually large dolphins). These may seem apt excuses, and may even seem to make sense, given a perfunctory glance. But such boundaries and distinctions are artificial, man-made, and ultimately invalid.
Whaling turns this majestic being into this corpse, and they don't even need the meat.
The killing of dolphins and whales is not a matter of national sovereignty, any more than human rights are a state-by-state issue. This is a HUMAN behavior; humans are doing these killings, so it is up to we humans to police ourselves, regardless of what nationality those humans may give themselves. Wherever such slaughters may be happening, it is up to fellow humans to stop it.
Just as we oppose slavery, torture and murders put upon fellow humans, we must fight against slavery, torture and killings done by fellow humans. Similarly, it is incumbent upon us, it is our obligation, to stop humans from polluting and destroying the oceans, no matter where they may be while doing so.
When China's manufacturing pours toxic chemicals into the rivers that eventually dump those chemicals into the sea, we have permitted it by not stopping it. In fact, we have endorsed it (a little at a time) by buying those products made in that filthy fashion. We may not like having such a responsibility thrust upon us, but the plain truth is that when we do not do everything within our power to stop it, we become culpable as well.
If someone were to set up a floating base in the middle of the Pacific, far from any nation's boundaries, and begin pouring acid into the waters there, would we allow it? Do we allow humans to develop or discharge nuclear weapons as we please? There is ample precedent; we have both the right and obligation to control ourselves, our fellow humans. Our destruction of the oceans' waters and her inhabitants is not a national issue. It is a human issue, and it is up to us to fight it — tooth and nail — wherever it may occur.
What is the update on this? What can we do to stop this? I have seen many petitions on line but assume this is still happening and it has not been stopped. The United States get involved all the time but this is a matter of protecting the earth and the animals on this planet. This really pisses me off and I feel like the people that participate and even watch should all be shot-I mean they have to be sociopaths to allow this to continue. How can you not be somewhat crazy to allow this??
Have we tried a petition to the United States president? How about neighboring countries of Denmark or to the new Prime Minister of Denmark? —Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Danish pronunciation: [?h?l? ?to??ne? ?smed]; born 14 December 1966) is a Danish politician and the current Prime Minister of Denmark. She has been leader of the Danish Social Democrats since April 2005 and prime minister since October 2011.
Do you have a page on Facebook-we can do a lot with Facebook…..that is how I saw a picture of this but unless we tell people to "do" something then the picture will just travel around facebook and people will be sad but nothing will be done.

"Unsuitable provision and unprofessional care"
In 2013 I had an assessment and it was determined that I should receive CAT, soon after receiving information stating this I received another letter stating that I in fact would not receive CAT as the person who undertook this therapy would be leaving their position and the position not being carried on.
Following on from this I was then informed i would see a different counselor. Who was extremely unprofessional, suggesting I pay to see their friend for an alternative treatment, suggesting I stop taking other prescribed medication.
Trying to influence decisions about a profession that I wanted to enter based on what they wanted to do. Therapy sessions with this person were extremely damaging I feel.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story on Patient Opinion. I am disappointed to hear about your experience and it appears that you have been left feeling angry and frustrated. That is definitely not the experience we would want people who access our services to feel.
Unfortunately, with the little information we have from your posting it is difficult for me to investigate how best to help you, I wonder if you might feel able to give me some details about where you were seen and which service it was? That way I can better understand what happened and hopefully, prevent this from happening to anyone else.
Have you experienced something like Pinkla did, here or elsewhere?
