Q: ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError: Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'undefined' I know there are a lot of same questions already posted in stack-overflow and tried different solutions to avoid the run-time error but None of them are working for me.

Component and Html Code
export class TestComponent implements OnInit, AfterContentChecked {
    @Input() DataContext: any;
    @Input() Position: any;
    sampleViewModel: ISampleViewModel = { DataContext: : null, Position: null };
    constructor(private validationService: IValidationService, private modalService: NgbModal, private cdRef: ChangeDetectorRef) {
    }

    ngOnInit() {

    }
    ngAfterContentChecked() {

            debugger;
            this.sampleViewModel.DataContext = this.DataContext;
            this.sampleViewModel.Position = this.Position;

    }

     //some other html here

Please Note : This Component is loaded dynamically using DynamicComponentLoader
After My trouble shooting I have identified couple of issues
First of all this child component is loaded dynamically by using DynamicComponentResolver and passing the input values like below
 ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.renderWidgetInsideWidgetContainer();

  }

  renderWidgetInsideWidgetContainer() {
    let component = this.storeFactory.getWidgetComponent(this.dataSource.ComponentName);
    let componentFactory = this._componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(component);
    let viewContainerRef = this.widgetHost.viewContainerRef;
    viewContainerRef.clear();
    let componentRef = viewContainerRef.createComponent(componentFactory);
    debugger;
    (<IDataBind>componentRef.instance).WidgetDataContext = this.dataSource.DataContext;
    (<IDataBind>componentRef.instance).WidgetPosition = this.dataSource.Position;

  }

Even If I changed my child component html like below I am getting this same error.Just add a angular ngclass attribute

My databinding and everything are working fine.Do I need to do anything on parent component?
I already tried all the lifecyle events in child component

A: The ngAfterContentChecked lifecycle hook is triggered when bindings updates for the child components/directives have already been finished. But you're updating the property that is used as a binding input for the ngClass directive. That is the problem. When Angular runs validation stage it detects that there's a pending update to the properties and throws the error.
To understand the error better, read these two articles:

*

*Everything you need to know about the ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError error

*Everything you need to know about change detection in Angular
Think about why you need to change the property in the ngAfterViewInit lifecycle hook. Any other lifecycle that is triggered before ngAfterViewInit/Checked will work, for example ngOnInit, ngDoCheck or ngAfterContentChecked.
So in order to fix it, move renderWidgetInsideWidgetContainer to the ngOnInit() lifecycle hook.

A: Two Solutions:

*

*Make Sure if you have some binding variables then move that code to settimeout( { }, 0);

*Move your related code to ngAfterViewInit method

A: setTimeout(() => { /* your code here */ }, 0);

I wrapped my code in setTimeout and it worked

A: *NgIf can create a problem here, so either use display none CSS or easier way is to Use [hidden]="!condition"

A:  ngAfterViewInit() {
   setTimeout(() => {
     this.renderWidgetInsideWidgetContainer();
   }, 0);
  }

That is a good solution to resolve this problem.

A: I had the same issue trying to do something the same as you and I fixed it with something similar to Richie Fredicson's answer.
When you run createComponent() it is created with undefined input variables.
Then after that when you assign data to those input variables it changes things and causes that error in your child template (in my case it was because I was using the input in an ngIf, which changed once I assigned the input data).
The only way I could find to avoid it in this specific case is to force change detection after you assign the data, however I didn't do it in ngAfterContentChecked().
Your example code is a bit hard to follow but if my solution works for you it would be something like this (in the parent component):
export class ParentComponent implements AfterViewInit {
  // I'm assuming you have a WidgetDirective.
  @ViewChild(WidgetDirective) widgetHost: WidgetDirective;

  constructor(
    private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver,
    private changeDetector: ChangeDetectorRef
  ) {}

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    renderWidgetInsideWidgetContainer();
  }

  renderWidgetInsideWidgetContainer() {
    let component = this.storeFactory.getWidgetComponent(this.dataSource.ComponentName);
    let componentFactory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(component);
    let viewContainerRef = this.widgetHost.viewContainerRef;
    viewContainerRef.clear();
    let componentRef = viewContainerRef.createComponent(componentFactory);
    debugger;
    // This <IDataBind> type you are using here needs to be changed to be the component
    // type you used for the call to resolveComponentFactory() above (if it isn't already).
    // It tells it that this component instance if of that type and then it knows
    // that WidgetDataContext and WidgetPosition are @Inputs for it.
    (<IDataBind>componentRef.instance).WidgetDataContext = this.dataSource.DataContext;
    (<IDataBind>componentRef.instance).WidgetPosition = this.dataSource.Position;
    this.changeDetector.detectChanges();
  }
}

Mine is almost the same as that except I'm using @ViewChildren instead of @ViewChild as I have multiple host elements.

A: I was having trouble with .

ERROR: ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError: Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value for 'mat-checkbox-checked': 'true'. Current value: 'false'.

The Problem here is that the updated value is not detected until the next change Detection Cycle runs.
The easiest solution is to add a Change Detection Strategy.
Add these lines to your code:
import { ChangeDetectionStrategy } from "@angular/core";  // import

@Component({
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  selector: "abc",
  templateUrl: "./abc.html",
  styleUrls: ["./abc.css"],
})

A: you have to tell angular that you updated the content after ngAfterContentChecked
you can import ChangeDetectorRef from @angular/core and call detectChanges
import { ChangeDetectorRef } from '@angular/core';

constructor( private cdref: ChangeDetectorRef ) {}

ngAfterContentChecked() {
    this.sampleViewModel.DataContext = this.DataContext;
    this.sampleViewModel.Position = this.Position;
    this.cdref.detectChanges();
 }

A: If you are using <ng-content> with *ngIf you are bound to fall into this loop.
Only way out I found was to change *ngIf to display:none functionality

A: RxJS timer()
Like others suggested you can solve the issue by placing your code inside a setTimeout(..) function. It will essentially move the execution outside the event-loop stack, and hence into Angular's next change-detection cycle.
RxJS has its own timeout implementation called timer() - it accepts milliseconds as an argument and returns an observable. Since we only need the execution to happen after the event loop stack is clean (and Angular has finished all its rendering calculations), we can use timer() without any argument (it'll anyway default to 0):
ngAfterViewInit() {
    timer().subscribe(() => {
        // your code here
    })
}

JS event loop schema:

A: PS: My error details vary slightly, in the sense that mine detected a change in mat-focused value from true to false.
During my research, I noticed that the error was thrown because I tried to bind the SelectedIndex property of mat-tab-group to the index of the selected item in a mat-select field inside tab 1 of the tab group (code excerpt below).
HTML extract:
  <form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
    <mat-tab-group animationDuration="500ms" [selectedIndex]="titleId.value">
      <mat-tab label="Tab 1">
        <mat-radio-group formControlName="titleId">
          <mat-radio-button value="1">Mr</mat-radio-button>
          <mat-radio-button value="2">Mrs</mat-radio-button>
        </mat-radio-group>
      </mat-tab>
      <mat-tab label="tab 2">
        ...
      </mat-tab>
      <mat-tab label="tab 3">
        ...
      </mat-tab>
    </mat-tab-group>
  </form>

Although my code worked as expected (i.e. switching tabs based on a selected item from the dropdown list), the error was pretty frustrating to be ignored. Unfortunately, no suggested solution here worked for me. However, I noticed that moving mat-radio-group outside the mat-tab-group component, fixed the issue.
New implementation:
  <form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
    <mat-radio-group formControlName="titleId">
      <mat-radio-button value="1">Mr</mat-radio-button>
      <mat-radio-button value="2">Mrs</mat-radio-button>
    </mat-radio-group>
    <mat-tab-group animationDuration="500ms" [selectedIndex]="titleId.value">
      <mat-tab label="Tab 1">
        ...
      </mat-tab>
      <mat-tab label="tab 2">
        ...
      </mat-tab>
      <mat-tab label="tab 3">
        ...
      </mat-tab>
    </mat-tab-group>
  </form>

I expected the code below to fix the issue, but it didn't. Maybe I wasn't doing something right.
abc.component.ts code extract
  ngAfterViewInit() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.cdRef.detectChanges(); /*cdRef injected in constructor*/
    }, 0);
  }

I still believe there is a better way to fix this.

A: Try this, to call your code in ngOnInit()
someMethod() // emitted method call from output
{
    // Your code
}

ngOnInit(){
  someMethod(); // call here your error will be gone
}

Maurizio Cattelan's $6 million Solid Gold Toilet Stolen From Blenheim Palace
September 17, 2019 / by Tex Market / in Others
UK police confirmed on Saturday 14 September that a US$6 million 18 carat gold toilet was stolen from Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, in the United Kingdom. The artwork was part of Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan's first UK solo show in 20 years.
The gold toilet, titled "America", is a fully functional artwork attached to Blenheim Palace's plumbing system. When the gold toilet was stolen on Thursday, the thieves caused extensive water damage to Winston Churchill's historic home.
"The piece of art that has been stolen is a high value toilet made out of gold that was on display at the palace." – Detective Inspector Jess Milne, Thames Valley Police
Investigations by the police have been ongoing since the heist, but Cattelan's exhibition reopened to the public on Monday with the Italian conceptual artist's thought provoking' artworks juxtaposed with Blenheim Palace's opulent interiors, creating starker if not darker commentary then probably intended by Cattelan.
The room in which the famed gold lavatory was installed was right next to the room where future prime minister Churchill was born. Though Churchill spent his formative years at Oxfordshire palace and attended boarding school during his academic term, Churchill eventually proposed to 23 year old Clementine Hozier in the Temple of Diana summerhouse in Blenheim's gardens.
"From the speed the robbery was executed we can say for sure they are great performers," – Maurizio Cattelan on the theft of his solid gold artwork
According to Blenheim Palace's CEO Dominic Hare, the artwork was stolen in a "very fast smash-and-grab raid" at the palatial mansion in the early Saturday morning and while initially, it was hypothesised that Cattelan himself might be behind the theft reminiscent to when Banksy set up Girl With Balloon to be shredded during the closing bid of the artwork, it was eventually ruled out as a Banksy-sque stunt.
The palace was a gift from Queen Anne to Sarah Churchill, first duchess of Marlborough and kept in the family for generations. In fact, half-brother of the current Duke of Marlborough Edward Spencer-Churchill, who is founder of the Blenheim Art Foundation, told the Sunday Times just last month: "It's {18 carat gold toilet) not going to be the easiest thing to nick." It is a sentiment echoed by the artist himself who commented that the swiftness moving such a heavy artwork made the thieves artists themselves, saying, "From the speed the robbery was executed we can say for sure they are great performers."
There are fears that Cattelan's gold toilet might be melted down. Titled, America, the commode was a commentary on American excess and the demise of the "American Dream".
Cattelan's exhibition, Victory is Not an Option, runs till 27 October 2019. Ticket holders who booked three-minute time slots to use the fully functioning lavatory will be reimbursed.

We are proud to announce in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, there will be a Solemn Mass during this special season of the Vigil of Pentecost according to the Praemonstratensian (Nobertine) Rite.
But what day? "Vigil" would normally indicate the day before the feast, so is the Mass on the vigil day [Saturday] or on Pentecost Sunday?
It was on the poster, but I added it to the blog to make it clearer. Thanks.
A vigil can be celebrated anytime on the day before its feast.

NBC/WSJ poll: Hillary takes a hit, but still bests GOP competition
Clinton's favorability wanes in new poll
May 4, 2015, 8:16 PM UTC / Updated May 4, 2015, 10:35 PM UTC
By Mark Murray
After weeks of scrutiny and tough questions – over her emails and the Clinton Foundation – here's the bad news for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton: Her image has taken a hit, according to the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Clinton's unfavorable rating has ticked up six points since March, and the percentage giving her high marks for being honest and straightforward has declined 13 points from a year ago.
But here's the good news for her: Despite these hits, Clinton leads the Republican top-tier candidates in hypothetical general-election match ups. And she's the only 2016 candidate the poll tested who doesn't sport a negative favorable/unfavorable rating.
RELATED: How Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson could shape 2016
"Yes, there are challenges with the Clinton name," says Democratic pollster Fred Yang, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "But she remains a uniquely formidable candidate."
Yet McInturff cautions that – with nearly 20 months to go until Nov. 2016 – Clinton "historically has not worn well over a long exposure to the public."
Hillary bests the GOP competition
In the new NBC/WSJ poll, Clinton's favorable/unfavorable among all adults rating stands at 42%, 42% (even) – down from 44% positive, 36% negative in March (+8).
Bill Clinton defends Clinton Foundation
Still, that break-even rating exceeds the fav/unfav scores for Republicans Marco Rubio (22% positive, 23% negative), Scott Walker (15% positive, 17% negative), Rand Paul (23% positive, 28% negative) and Jeb Bush (23% positive, 36%t negative).
What's more, Clinton's popularity hasn't changed among Democrats, who will choose their party's presidential nominee before the general election begins.
Among Democratic primary voters, Clinton's fav/unfav score is 81% positive, 6% negative – almost identical to March's 82%-4% rating.
"All of that information [about Clinton] made no fundamental difference to Democratic primary voters," says McInturff, the GOP pollster.
And looking ahead to the general election, Clinton leads Bush, the former Florida governor, by six points among registered voters (49% to 43%); Rubio, the Florida senator, by another six points (49 percent to 43 percent); and Walker, the Wisconsin governor by 10 (50% to 40%).
The Republican presidential candidate in the poll who comes closest to Clinton is Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., 47% to 43%.
To put Hillary Clinton's numbers into perspective, the poll finds Vice President Joe Biden trailing Jeb Bush by eight points in a hypothetical match up.
"Consider that she runs even with independent [voters], and Biden loses independents by 30 points," says Yang, the Democratic pollster.
Just 25% of all voters give Hillary high marks for being honest and straightforward
The NBC/WSJ poll also ranks Clinton on 11 different presidential qualities. Her top scores among all voters: being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency (51% gave her high marks), being effective and getting things done (44%) and being compassionate enough to understand average people (43%).
Her worst scores: bringing real change to the direction of the country (35%), sharing your positions on the issues (35%) and being honest and straightforward (25%).
Indeed, that honest and straightforward score is a 13-point drop for Clinton since June 2014.
Obama's approval ticks up to 48%
Maybe the best news in the poll for Hillary Clinton is the job-approval rating of the man she's running to succeed – Barack Obama.
Forty-eight percent of all adults in the NBC/WSJ poll approve of the president's job, which is up two points from March.
It's his highest rating in the poll since June 2013.
"President Obama seems to have avoided the slump that plagued George W. Bush after his sixth-year shellacking" in 2006, says Yang, the Democratic pollster.
The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted April 26-30 of 1,000 adults (including more than 350 by cell phone), and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points. The margin of error among the 273 Democratic primary voters is plus-minus 5.9 percentage points.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episode 704 "Unfinished Business" Review
What's On Disney Plus > Blog > Brands > Star Wars > Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episode 704 "Unfinished Business" Review
The final episode in the "Bad Batch" story arc sees Jedi Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi lead an attack against the Separatist forces on Anaxes, while the Bad Batch and Anakin Skywalker infiltrate an enemy starship to ensure a Republic victory.
This episode is full of huge action scenes, with lightsaber battles and massive droid armies, which just wouldn't be possible in a live action series, without spending some major bucks!
One of the cool things about this episode is Echo, the Clone Trooper who has been rescued from the Separatist army, as he has a unique skill, which allows him to plug directly into a computer, which reminded me of the Matrix. And throughout the episode, I kept waiting for the turn, the moment it was revealed, he was still under the control of the Separatists, which added some extra tension.
In the movies, the Clone Troopers are all shown as being identical, with no personality, but the Clone Wars animated series manages to give us so much more context about the Clones and how they were made, but more importantly, how they do differ. It's a shame the "Bad Batch" group weren't developed a little more, since they are a little too one dimensional. But still fun to see them in action.
This episode is packed with Jedi's just destroying droids with their lightsabers, which is always a highlight, especially since these shows help expand out the Clone Wars lore.
As you would expect with a story arc finale, it nicely ties all the loose ends up together, but the main thing to take away from it, is how they are foreshadowing Anakin's turn to the dark side, you get to see his anger, you get to see how its eating away at him and is much closer to the Anakin from "Revenge of the Sith".
Another great episode and a good solid finish to this story, with some fantastic artwork and I really enjoyed it!
Rating 4 out of 5.

After understanding the upsides and downsides of a wedge pillow, you can then use the checklist we came up with to find one that will be perfect for your use.
Wedge pillows are either made of memory foam or polyurethane form. Traditionally, polyurethane form provides firmer support and is ideal for people who sleep on their backs. Memory foam pillows are suitable for people who sleep on their side since they conform to one's body shape. Some pillows have a polyester fill which makes them fill softer but are not ideal for health problems.
Wedge pillows have a triangular shape which makes it hard to use a regular pillowcase on them. They can quickly get dirty and need cleaning regularly. Choosing one that comes with a removable cover makes it easily washable and keeps your pillow clean.
Wedge pillows come in different sizes. Some are twin, king and queen size while others are small, medium, large or extra-large. Check to make sure the pillow you choose has dimensions that fit your bed.
Height is a feature to observe if you want a pillow for your medical needs like snoring. They are either low wedge pillows that are six to eight inches ideal for acid reflux, sleep apnea, and other health issues. There are also mid-sized wedge pillows of 10 to 12 inches, not the best for dealing with health issues but good for sleeping to solve pains and aches. Tall wedge pillows are 15 inches high, and they are not considered to help solve medical conditions. However, it is ideal for watching television.
Wedge pillows price is different depending on the material used. They can either be inexpensive that is they are made of foam or a polyester fill and range from 25$ to 40$. Mid-range pillows are made of foam or a medium to large polyester fill ranging from 40$ to 70$. Expensive pillows are made of foam and are 70$ to 100$.
The durability of the pillow should have a long continuous life without requiring extraordinary maintenance.
The right pillow is essential in keeping the neck in a supported position with neutral alignment during sleep.
A pillow with no odor means merely that the pillow has fabric that allows moisture and air to be transmitted through the material instead of building it up inside the structure.
The best pillow should be safe to use. It should not cause any harm to someone.
A pillow plays a significant role in the wellness of the body especially after a long day at work getting home to rest what our body needs. You need not be stressed since you have one of those pillows that make you wake up at night to rest because of neck pains.
We recommend Brentwood Home Zuma Therapeutic wedge pillow. It is a multipurpose wedge pillow. It has everything you would want in a wedge pillow including comfort, features, and a value price. We recommend this for any user who is strained on their budget but still wants a good wedge pillow with decent features and capabilities.
It might be an average wedge pillow, but it does a great job. Whatever you feel serves your need at the moment we hope we have helped you have an informed decision on which wedge pillow to buy.

Another key area covered by the survey is the free schools programme and academy expansion. There is strong support for greater powers for local authorities in relation to school places planning. A large majority of parents (77 per cent) believe that local councils should have the final say in the location of new schools within their authority boundary.
Furthermore, 81 per cent of parents think that local councils should be able to influence schools in their areas to find more places or expand, an opinion that has become more prevalent since 2013. Support for the idea that academies should be forced to expand if the local council requires it has increased over the last five years, with 49 per cent of parents agreeing with this, and only 33 per cent opposing.
In terms of priorities in relation to the free schools programme, two thirds of parents (66 per cent) think that free schools should be set up in areas of basic need. A similar number (65 per cent) would rather the government invest more in existing schools in an area with no demand for additional places than create a new school in order to increase choice.
Overall, support for academisation has decreased over the last five years, with the proportion opposing an increase in the number of academies and free schools now exceeding the number who support this (35 per cent versus 29 per cent).

UN Determines Al Jazeera Journalist Mahmoud Hussein was Arbitrarily Detained
2/2/2018Staff Article
This week the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention published its decision in the case of Mahmoud Hussein, a prominent journalist who works for Al Jazeera Media Network in Qatar and is represented by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. The Working Group determined that Mr. Hussein has been arbitrarily detained without charge in Egypt since December 2016. Based on the petition submitted by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the Working Group found that the Egyptian authorities' imprisonment of Mahmoud Hussein—including 89 days of solitary confinement—violated the journalist's due-process rights and amounted to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Recognizing that journalists warrant heightened protections where their freedom of expression is restricted, the Working Group called on Egypt to immediately release Mahmoud Hussein and to amend its laws and practices to conform with its international human rights obligations.
Read the full decision by the Working Group here.
Prior to his detention, Mahmoud Hussein, an acclaimed journalist and Egyptian national, worked as a news editor for Al Jazeera's Arabic TV channel, based in Doha and covering the European region. Hussein traveled regularly to Egypt to spend time with his family, including his nine children. In December 2016, Egyptian authorities stopped Hussein at Cairo International Airport, interrogated him, and detained him for more than 15 hours. Days later, Egyptian authorities seized Hussein outside his home and took him into custody without a warrant. Hussein was forced to record a series of "confession" videos, detained incommunicado for two weeks, and placed in prolonged solitary confinement in the notorious Tora Prison.
Egyptian authorities interfered with Hussein's efforts to fight for his liberty, denying him adequate access to his lawyer and case file. Hussein endured a cramped, dark cell where he was held alone for three months with no ventilation or electricity, exposed to insect infestations and squalid conditions. After he was transferred out of solitary confinement, Hussein fractured his arm in June 2017. Egyptian authorities prevented him from accessing critical medical services for the injury, which became infected. The impact of Hussein's indefinite detention on his physical and psychological health has been severe. And his family has suffered alongside him, first terrorized by security forces at the time of his arrest and now fighting for his release. For more than a year, Egyptian authorities have refused to pursue charges against Hussein and denied him a meaningful opportunity to appeal his detention.
In April 2017, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights filed an urgent petition to the Working Group on Hussein's behalf, arguing that Hussein's arbitrary arrest and detention violated Egypt's international human rights obligations. This week's decision by the Working Group confirmed that Hussein was targeted for his role as a journalist. The Working Group criticized Egypt's overly broad and vague laws on pre-trial detention, and noted that Hussein's prolonged detention without trial "appears to be part of the Government's widespread crackdown on the independent media and bloggers for political opinions at odds with its own." Further, the Working Group expressed grave concern about the pattern of arbitrary detention, torture, and enforced disappearance perpetrated by the Ministry of Interior's Homeland Security Agency, which had been involved in Hussein's arrest, interrogation, and forced confessions.
The Egyptian government—which ranked in the top three jailers of journalists in 2017, alongside Turkey and China—has amplified its crackdown on the press by accusing reporters of disseminating "false news," blocking websites, and putting journalists on terrorist watch lists. Hussein had worked for the Cairo bureau of Al Jazeera from the end of 2010 until mid-2013, when Egyptian authorities shut down the bureau and prosecuted a number of his colleagues. This severe censorship of journalists comes at a time when civil society organizations throughout Egypt are facing unprecedented obstacles to carrying out their legitimate work. An exceptionally repressive law passed in May 2017 criminalizes the work of independent NGOs.
Prominent activists caught up in Egypt's crackdown include Aya Hijazi, an Egyptian-American NGO worker who supported street children in Cairo and was held in pre-trial detention on spurious charges for almost three years, until Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights intervened and helped to secure her liberty. In this context, Hussein's arbitrary detention is far from an isolated case; the Egyptian authorities' tactic of using indefinite pre-trial detention to restrain those who dare to act independently is a cornerstone of its repression of the press, civil society, and protestors. The Working Group's decision in Hussein's case is an important step in holding the Egyptian government accountable for these widespread human rights violations.

Now reading: Meet Mariola Marcet, Founder of Upcyclick
Meet Mariola Marcet, Founder of Upcyclick
Mariola Marcet, Founder and CEO of Upcyclick, is one of the entrepreneurs pioneer in Spain promoting upcycling within the fashion industry. We wanted to find out more about her amazing project.
Where did the idea behind upcyclick come from?
It came from another project of mine called "De armario a armario" that I started in 2010 and was about swapping clothes. Through this project that I started like a hobby I discovered the slow fashion movement that change my point of view about fashion. And I decided to be part of the solution, instead of being part of the problem. In 2016 I had the opportunity to do an acceleration program for social projects organized by Social Nest foundation and there came out Upcyclick that won the "Distinction for the startup with the greatest social impact".
Which challenges you had to face?
First of all, the lack of awareness from people about the meaning of "upcycled" . Nowadays we can hear and see more examples in the mass media and we can see examples in big brands, but when we started six years ago, in Spain it was a very unknown. That's the reason why, from the beginning of the project, we have worked to teach and spread the sustainable fashion and Upcycling as a part of it. The second one it's highlight the importance of the dressmakers, seamstress.
How do you think will the the future of fashion? Do you think a change is really possible?
I'm a very positive person so my vision is positive, but not so much if we don't do something urgently to change the actual situation.
To make a real change in fashion, it is necessary that all the parts take part in the process, that is: citizens, companies and governmental institutions. It is not only the citizen that has to support all the weight of being sustainable as it has been till now.
Fortunately, on March 30th, the first legislative initiatives were presented that mark the way towards sustainable production as the main standard of trade in the European Union.
Mariola Marcet, Founder and CEO of Upcyclick
The EU Strategy on Sustainable and Circular Textile Products sets out targets and concrete measures to ensure that, by 2030, textile products marketed in the EU are long-lasting and recyclable and are made as far as possible with recycled fibers, without dangerous substances and produced respecting social rights and the environment. Consumers will enjoy high-quality textiles for longer, fast fashion should be out of fashion, and cost-effective reuse and repair services should be widely available.
We hope that this strategy is really applied and controlled so that there is a real change in the industry would be the key to accelerating this change. Because there have been legislative initiatives similar to these, one specifically approved in 2018 at a European level that has not yet been applied due to pressure from large lobbies.
What would you highlight of Canussa?
The Timeless, the good quality and the practicality of all the products. Also the constant interest of its founder, Maria, to improve. She is always researching to contribute with her brand to the improvement of the fashion accessories industry, or rather, to change. I am lucky enough to chat with her often, share our concerns and see how we can support each other to make a real impact in fashion. María is a great person that I admire and appreciate.

I crossed number four off of my responsibility list, and noticed that tomorrow, I'd be able to cross off the last one required of me from Shellsea Recovery Center. I'd asked Darlene about the other workers assigned to the B Ward, and she was shocked I hadn't met any yet, but assured me that when I wasn't in the ward, they checked in on the boys every four hours or more if needed.
She'd explained, while laughing of course, that they were a little understaffed at the moment, but would probably hire some new people soon if it got to be too big of a problem. I thought back to when Gabriel Coleman would have died had I not been on the clock, and felt uneasy leaving the boys alone for even a moment. But I knew it was needed.
The shopping trip wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I found a nice pair of jeans and three nice tops, that I could wear until I could find time to do a better shopping trip. I went grocery shopping afterwards, and ended up making way more than I could eat for myself, so I put the mexican lasagna in a pan and wrapped in in tinfoil to take to the boys on the following day.
My things still hadn't arrived, and sleeping on the floor was starting to make my back hate me. I made a mental note to call Dr. Roberts and ask about it the next day. Just before I went to bed, I remembered that the boys had asked me to check in with them, and immediately felt guilty upon opening my messages and seeing the missed texts from each of them.
I was getting ready to reply, and explain that I had forgotten, and that my volume was on silent for some reason, when there was a knock at my door. Fear gripped my heart as I jumped from my sleeping space in the corner of the living room. Why I chose to sleep there, I wasn't sure, but I knew I hadn't wanted to sleep in the bedroom, sans a bed.
What if it's my mother, coming to punish me?
Realistically I knew it probably wasn't her, but the fear that it was bit at my every step until I checked through the peep-hole, and saw a head full of blonde hair paired with blue eyes and a t-shirt that was so loose, I thought it was from a pirate costume.
I unlocked the deadbolt, and the chain, and opened the door.
Luke smiled down at me. "Hey Sugar, you didn't ever reply, and North was getting worried. He was going to get out of bed, so I volunteered to come make a house visit before he hurt himself. Little brothers, what can you do?" he said the last part as if I would understand the sibling dynamic.
I wasn't at all surprised that he was older than North. Everything else about them seemed to be different than my expectations, why not their age?
"I'm sorry Luke. I didn't mean to worry anyone. My ringer was off for some reason, and I only just checked my phone. I'm not.." I swallowed, not sure why I wanted to tell him this, but feeling like it was right, "I'm not used to having anyone to check in to. Or anyone who cared enough to come track me down when I didn't check in."
Luke's eyes softened. "Hey now, don't cry. We're just protective, that's all."
"But you barely know me, and plus, I'm the doctor, shouldn't I be taking care of and making sure you guys are all safe?"
He smiled at this, and I felt a wash of pride at having been the cause of the beautiful sight.
"We might have just met, but every one of those boys you're assigned to care for know more about you than you'd probably like. North could tell instantly that something was broken about you. You can't even handle touch very well. Someone hurt you. Probably your family."
I flinched away from how spot on he was.
We stood there in the door, watching each other for a while, until I finally decided to take a leap of faith and let this crazy situation play out. I'd spent far too long worrying about what my mother might think of me.

TERROR VIDEO: WATCH: Mohammed Abdul Drives 4×4 Into Crowded Nightclub Dance Floor
By Pamela Geller - on January 13, 2019
The Islamic State and other jihad groups have been urging Muslims across the world to do this very thing. Car ramming.
WATCH: Mohammed Abdul Drives 4×4 Into Nightclub Dance Floor
Breitbart, 12 Jan 2019:
21-year-old Mohammed Abdul has been imprisoned for driving a stolen 4×4 at a nightclub and smashing it through an outdoor marquee and onto a dance floor, injuring ten.
Abdul was sentenced to 28 years at Maidstone Crown Court for two counts of attempting to murder multiple people at the nightclub on Queen Street, Gravesend.
Some of his victims suffered serious injuries, including a woman whose pelvis was shattered, according to an official statement from Kent Police. The force said it was "a miracle no-one died".
Abdul, inebriated by "at least 15 vodkas and cokes with tequila shots" and "five to 10 spliffs", had earlier been thrown out of the nightclub, Blake's, for "inappropriate behaviour". He became aggressive with the bouncers as they ejected him, vowing he would return to "shut down" the venue and kill them.
CCTV shows Abdul, who was "enraged" and "felt humiliated" by the incident, attempting to do exactly that around ten minutes later, driving a stolen Suzuki Vitara down an alleyway at the bouncers at speed and carrying on to smash directly into the club's packed dance floor marquee.
"Abdul's actions that night were beyond deplorable, from his inappropriate behaviour which led to him being ejected from Blake's, right through to driving at innocent people who were only looking for a good night," said Senior Investigating Officer Detective Sergeant Alastair Worton.
"The idea of a vehicle being driven at people evokes very significant emotions in today's climate and it is a miracle no-one died as a result of Abdul driving a 4×4 into the marque," he added.
"Many of those who were injured are still recovering now and I hope today's sentencing helps them find some closure."
Abdul will be disqualified from driving for just two years after his release.

What to know about pandemics
Medically reviewed by Stacy Sampson, D.O. — By Adam Felman on March 30, 2020
Pandemic or epidemic?
Influenza pandemics
A pandemic is an outbreak of global proportions. It happens when infection due to a bacterium or virus becomes capable of spreading widely and rapidly.
The disease behind a pandemic can cause severe illness and spread easily from one person to the next.
As of March 2020, the world is currently dealing with a global outbreak of COVID-19. On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised that this disease has the characteristics of a pandemic.
Many governments have now restricted free movement and placed populations under lockdown to limit the spread of the pandemic.
In this article, we discuss the difference between epidemics and pandemics, how pandemics start, and future concerns.
During a pandemic, governments may restrict free movement and put populations under lockdown.
According to the WHO, a pandemic involves the worldwide spread of a new disease. While an epidemic remains limited to one city, region, or country, a pandemic spreads beyond national borders and possibly worldwide.
Authorities consider a disease to be an epidemic when the number of people with the infection is higher than the forecast number within a specific region.
If an infection becomes widespread in several countries at the same time, it may turn into a pandemic.
A new virus strain or subtype that easily transmits between humans can cause a pandemic. Bacteria that become resistant to antibiotic treatment may also be behind the rapid spread.
Sometimes, pandemics occur when new diseases develop the ability to spread rapidly, such as the Black Death, or bubonic plague.
Humans may have little or no immunity against a new virus. Often, a new virus cannot spread between animals and people. However, if the disease changes or mutates, it may start to spread easily, and a pandemic may result.
Seasonal influenza (flu) epidemics generally occur as a result of subtypes of a virus that is already circulating among people. Novel subtypes, on the other hand, generally cause pandemics. These subtypes will not previously have circulated among humans.
A pandemic affects a higher number of people and can be more deadly than an epidemic. It can also lead to more social disruption, economic loss, and general hardship on a wider scale.
Writing in March 2020, the current pandemic has had an unprecedented impact across the globe.
COVID-19 is a disease that develops due to infection with a type of coronavirus. The virus started causing infections in Wuhan, China, before spreading internationally.
On the recommendation of the WHO, more than one-third of the world's population is on lockdown. Several countries — including the United States, United Kingdom, India, and China — have closed their borders, affecting global travel and industry.
People in many countries have also lost employment as a result of "nonessential" businesses closing to restrict the spread of the virus. Restaurants, gyms, religious buildings, parks, and offices have closed in many places.
A pandemic can also increase the pressure on healthcare systems by raising the demand for certain treatments.
People with severe COVID-19 symptoms use more ventilators and beds in intensive care. As a result, resources may be in short supply for others who need this equipment.
However, countries have put in place measures to counter this. For example, the U.S. government has requested that companies, including Ford and General Motors, start making respirators, ventilators, and face shields to meet increased demand.
Authorities hope that these emergency manufacturing measures and the restrictions of movement — which have a worldwide economic and social impact — will slow the spread of the disease.
Countries are collaborating on sourcing medical equipment and developing a vaccine, even though it may not be available for months or even years.
Learn more about the symptoms of COVID-19 here, as well as how to reduce the spread.
A pandemic can occur when a type of influenza virus, known as the influenza A virus, mutates suddenly.
This change can result in what the body sees as a completely new virus. The major and abrupt change from a recognizable virus to a new one is called an antigenic shift.
On the surface of the virus are HA proteins and NA proteins. If one or both of these change, a new influenza A virus subtype can result. Influenza viruses have an H figure and an N figure. Swine flu, for example, is also known as H1N1, while avian flu has the subtype H5N1.
If a flu subtype gains the ability to spread rapidly between people, a pandemic may result.
After the pandemic emerges and spreads, humans develop some immunity over time. The virus subtype may then circulate among humans for several years, causing occasional flu epidemics.
Various organizations around the world, such as the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), monitor the behavior and movement of influenza viruses.
Their findings help health authorities develop strategies for controlling the spread and impact of influenza.
The Spanish flu pandemic, from 1918 to 1920, claimed 100 million lives. Experts consider it the most severe pandemic in history. The Black Death was fatal for more than 75 million people in the 14th century.
Some pandemics that have occurred throughout history include:
541–542: Plague of Justinian
1346–1350: The Black Death
1899–1923: Sixth cholera pandemic
1918–1920: Spanish flu (H1N1)
1957–1958: Asian flu (H2N2)
1968–1969: Hong Kong flu
2009–2010: Swine flu (H1N1)
2020: COVID-19
Animals carry some viruses that rarely spread to humans. Sometimes, these viruses can mutate and become transmissible to and between people.
When an animal virus first passes to humans, health authorities focus on it as a potential pandemic. This transmission indicates that a virus is mutating and might become highly contagious and harmful.
Swine flu and avian flu are viral diseases that were common in pigs and birds, respectively, but not humans. This changed once an antigenic shift occurred.
In recent years, there has also been concern about viruses that experts have linked to camels (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS-CoV) and monkeys (Ebola).
Find out more about the flu.
The WHO have a six-phase program for identifying potential flu pandemics:
Phase 1: No local health authorities have reported that an influenza virus circulating among animals can cause disease in humans.
Phase 2: An animal influenza virus circulating in domesticated or wild animals has caused infection in humans. The WHO consider this a potential pandemic threat.
Phase 3: An animal or human-animal influenza virus has caused disease in small clusters of people. However, it has not resulted in human-to-human transmission that is rapid enough to sustain community-level outbreaks.
Phase 4: The WHO verify that human-to-human transmission of an animal or human-animal influenza virus is now able to sustain community-level outbreaks.
Phase 5: The same virus has caused sustained community-level outbreaks in two or more countries within a single WHO region.
Phase 6: In addition to the phase 5 criteria, the same virus has caused sustained community-level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region.
Post-peak period: Levels of pandemic influenza in most countries with adequate surveillance have dropped below peak levels.
Post-pandemic period: Levels of influenza activity have returned to the usual levels of seasonal influenza in most countries with adequate surveillance.
According to these definitions, the COVID-19 pandemic is currently in phase 6.
Medical science has advanced rapidly in recent years, but it is unlikely ever to offer full protection from a possible pandemic because of the novel nature of the diseases involved.
Humans would not have natural immunity to a newly mutated disease, meaning that it could have severe effects after spreading between people.
The following have been or continue to be potential causes of concern:
Coronaviruses have caused concern due to their potential to lead to pandemics in recent years. Examples of coronavirus infections, in addition to SARS-CoV-2, include SARS and MERS. In March 2020, SARS-CoV-2 was the first coronavirus to reach a pandemic level, by causing COVID-19.
Previously, health agencies and government bodies managed to prevent coronavirus infections from becoming more than localized epidemics. MERS is still active, but outbreaks occur on a much smaller scale and less frequently.
COVID-19, on the other hand, has reached every continent except Antarctica.
Viral hemorrhagic fevers
Viral hemorrhagic fevers, including those that the Ebola and Marburg viruses cause, could become pandemics. However, close contact is necessary for these diseases to spread.
Modern surveillance systems, lessons from the most recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and an experimental vaccine offer hope that authorities can deal with future outbreaks swiftly, increasing the chances of disease containment.
Antibiotic resistance is also a major concern. Resistant strains of tuberculosis are among the most worrying.
A 2016 study estimated that almost half a million new cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) occurred globally in 2013.
Wild birds are natural hosts for a variety of influenza strains.
Rarely, these influenza strains pass from birds to humans, sparking epidemics with the potential to become pandemics without active surveillance and containment measures.
Avian flu (H5N1) is an example of this. Authorities first identified the strain in Vietnam in 2004. It never progressed beyond epidemic levels, but the virus's potential ability to combine with human flu viruses is a concern to scientists.
The largest Ebola epidemic took place in Liberia and the surrounding West African nations from 2014 to 2015.
Significant efforts to contain the spread prevented Ebola from turning into a pandemic, even though some people developed the infection overseas.
Ebola has recently resurfaced in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the WHO are monitoring the situation.
Pandemics are diseases that break out on a global scale. Diseases that spread from animals to humans are often the cause.
From Europe's Black Death during the Middle Ages to the Spanish flu around the time of the First World War, pandemics can change the course of society for many years to come.
The current pandemic, COVID-19, is causing disruption across the entire world.

Each week you are invited to a 90 minute, interactive online class where you learn a different tool or technique for giving a psychic reading. The class is supported by a weekly 90 minute reading lab where you get to practice your tools in real time as you learn them - giving you experience, confidence, and reinforcement right out of the gate. This is a hands-on, experiential training where you are rolling up your sleeves and reading others in a safe, grounded, and respectful space overseen by experienced readers and teachers, with lots of permission to find your own way, be a part of a community of dedicated seekers, and have fun doing it!
We instinctively know that there is more to our lives and our world beyond that which meets our eyes. This is precisely what development of our sixth sense can lead to! The word clairvoyant comes from the French language – 'clair' meaning 'clear' and 'voyance' meaning 'vision' and essentially means 'clear vision'. This term is used to describe a specific type of psychic experience.
Another common reason to see a clairvoyant is for advice about love and relationships. It is often difficult when you are in love with someone to see clearly because your emotions are involved. While a clairvoyant can generally not tell you whether someone else is in love with you or not, they can give information about the direction a relationship is going. They can also often see things that are going on with you that may be impacting your decisions and actions.
If you've done any research online for the top psychics, you've likely come across plenty of websites claiming to offer free readings by phone or chat. This is usually just a gimmick to get you on the phone. Usually the medium or clairvoyant will allow you to ask them a free question, but you'll likely only receive some general advice from a script.
Oranum dubs itself as the "world's largest spiritual community", featuring hundreds of psychics and spiritual advisors that are available for readings through their live webcam platform. Oranum features a wide range of psychic abilities and skills including horoscopes, reiki healing, astrology, dream interpretation, tarot cards, numerology, and more.
Look at the card presented for each part of your personal online reading before you read the accompanying text. Trust your gut reaction to the symbolism there, and pay the most attention to those elements that stand out to you. There is no single finite interpretation for each card, so use the information provided to guide your understanding as it pertains to your own life and current situation.

Astronauts Squeeze in Spacewalk Before SpaceX Departure
NASA astronauts floated out of the International Space Station on their fourth and final spacewalk in under a month.

NASA via AP
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronauts squeezed in one last spacewalk Tuesday before turning their attention to the all-important end to SpaceX's first crew flight.
NASA's Bob Behnken and Chris Cassidy floated out of the International Space Station on their fourth and final spacewalk in under a month. Instead of swapping batteries, they had to route cables, hook up a tool storage chest and perform other maintenance.
It was the 10th spacewalk in each of their careers, tying the U.S. record set by previous space station residents.
In less than two weeks, Behnken and Doug Hurley, who monitored the spacewalk from inside, will depart the orbiting complex in the same SpaceX Dragon crew capsule in which they arrived at the end of May.
SpaceX is aiming for a splashdown off the Florida coast in August — the first splashdown for astronauts in 45 years.
Weather permitting, the Dragon capsule will parachute into the Gulf of Mexico off the Florida Panhandle.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said once Tuesday's spacewalk is finished, the astronauts are "going to be focused like a laser on coming home."
Bridenstine said the SpaceX test flight has gone exceedingly well so far. "And I'm knocking on wood because it is not over until Bob and Doug are home," he said at a Space Foundation panel discussion Monday
The first-stage booster used to launch Behnken and Hurley on May 30 blasted off for a second time Monday from Cape Canaveral. It landed on a floating platform in the Atlantic after hoisting a satellite for South Korea's military, to be used again for another flight.

Reversing the Reversible
The City Council is studying increasing calls to eliminate the Grant Road reversible lane
By Dave Devine
The City Council will discuss the Grant Road reversible lane at its Study Session on Monday, April 19. To show their support for removing the lane, residents and business people are planning a demonstration along the street on Friday, April 16 from 4-6 p.m. Dave Devine lives near the intersection of Grant Road and Campbell Avenue.
Sweaty knuckles tightly clutching the steering wheel, a motorist with a pounding heart recently entered the Grant Road reversible lane during the afternoon rush hour. Near Stone Avenue, the traffic was much heavier in the opposite direction, backed up for blocks. Vehicles heading eastbound were moving at well more than the 40 mph limit, and at Cherry Avenue, two cars cut north, ignoring the prohibition against left-hand turns.
Traffic going east was more congested by Tucson Boulevard, but despite a lot of speeding and lane-jumping by some motorists who drove like they were on a L.A. freeway, things were moving smoothly. A couple of red lights slowed the flow down a little, but not much, before the reversible lane disappeared at Swan Road. Breathing deeply, the driver let out a sigh of relief that the harrowing five-mile trip in the center turn lane had been made in less than 15 minutes without incident.
Implemented 23 years ago, the Grant Road reversible lane is the last of its kind in Tucson since similar systems were eliminated from Fifth/Sixth Street and Broadway Boulevard during the past decade. Once touted as a way to move traffic without the expense of additional road construction, this dinosaur of an idea may now be facing extinction.
Northside Tucson City Councilwoman Kathleen Dunbar certainly hopes so. Having heard loud complaints from both business owners who lose customer access and residents who fear for their children's safety, Dunbar is pushing to remove the lane, at least on a trial basis.
"It was supposed to be a temporary solution when introduced," she says. "It is frustrating to have them removed from Fifth/Sixth Street and Broadway, yet Grant Road is treated like some kind of stepchild. The people who live with it are sick of it."
Commenting on some of those who use the lane to commute to and from their eastside homes, Dunbar says, "If they had it in their back yards, I doubt if they would support it."
Ross Bryant, president of the Campbell-Grant Northeast Neighborhood Association, is one of those lobbying for the lane's removal. He says many out-of-towners unfamiliar with the system can be confused.
"You expect to hear lots of horn honking and squealing of brakes during rush hour," Bryant says.
Barbara Lehmann, president of the Dodge-Flower Neighborhood Association near Alvernon Way, stresses pedestrian safety as her primary concern with the reversible lane.
"It's a poor excuse for traffic planning," she says, "and is deadly, dangerous and detrimental to the quality of life in the surrounding neighborhoods."
Eliminating the lane might also enhance business activity near the street. As a representative from Safeway said of its store at Broadway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue after the reversible lane was removed, "Anything which provides better access would be a good thing for business."
But not all commercial establishments share that view. Sam Hauert owns Grant Road Lumber Company, and concedes that discontinuing the reversible lane would help his business. But he still wants to see it remain.
"Removing the lane is going to result in autos backing up to cross streets," he says, "and we'd be asking for trouble with our volume of traffic. I'd just as soon have it stay."
Information produced by Tucson's Department of Transportation supports Hauert's analysis. If the reversible lane is removed, predictions are that delays at First Avenue will about triple to more than a minute and a half; those at Campbell Avenue will go from 24 to 84 seconds; and those at Alvernon Way more than double to almost three minutes.
On the flip side, a comparison of accident data for three years before and after the reversible lane was removed from Broadway Boulevard showed a 20 percent decrease after it was eliminated. In addition, seven of the 22 pedestrian accidents--including one child fatality--that have occurred over the past two years on Grant Road took place during the four hours that the system was in effect each day.
But those in the Transportation Department also believe some reversible-lane drivers might divert to other streets, causing neighborhood cut-through problems. Plus, the department put out this ominous statement: "The Grant Road signals will become the worst in the region if the reversible lane is removed without making capacity improvements at the major cross street traffic signals."
Despite that conclusion, Dunbar is pushing to end the "temporary" measure. She believes that Tucson instead needs an adequately funded regional plan to address its transportation issues in a comprehensive fashion.
Dunbar also thinks there is plenty of public support for getting rid of the lane. She recently attended a Chamber of Commerce breakfast at which participants were asked their opinions. Of the more than 100 attending, Dunbar says, only three favored keeping the lane.
That isn't the only indication of growing sentiment to eliminate Grant Road's unique traffic solution. Last Friday, by a unanimous vote, the chamber's Transportation Subcommittee officially recommended it be terminated, and the Campbell Avenue Business Partnership did the same a few weeks ago.
While he understands the benefits that killing off the reversible lane would have, midtown Councilman Fred Ronstadt points out the traffic implications of its demise. With his vote on the issue critical, he concludes, "I can argue both sides of the thing. I'll reserve my opinion until the council meeting."
