Fewer than one in fifteen (6%) of new graduates who move to London come from the most disadvantaged fifth of UK neighbourhoods according to Home Advantage, a new report published by the Sutton Trust today. This contrasts to 42% that come from the most advantaged fifth of UK neighbourhoods. Those from the South East find it easier to gain a foothold in the capital, with fewer than 20% of graduates moving to London from outside the region.
Today's report, by Kath Scanlon, Melissa Fernandez, Emma Sagor and Christine Whitehead of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), analyses the current housing situation for the young professionals in London and offers innovative solutions to the crisis.
Since 2001, the authors report that London's population has increased by 12%, but the housing stock has only increased by 9% during the same period. For many of the UK's top jobs – in law, medicine, the media and finance – London is the place to be, but young people, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds, are being priced out of the housing market.
High housing demand has left many young graduates caught in a housing trap, where rising private rents leave them unable to save for a deposit. The number of single people aged 25 – 34 living in shared accommodation has risen by 28% in the last decade and in 2014 there were only two London boroughs – Bexley, and Barking and Dagenham – where the average house price was less than eight times an average person's income.
Home Advantage warns that this has worrying implications for social mobility and has led to a growing imbalance between those who can turn to the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' for support – whether by paying a deposit, guaranteeing a loan, or being able to provide accommodation themselves – and those who cannot. Data published in today's report shows there are now more graduates (15%) living with their parents than on their own (11%).
To place the movements into London in context, according to the most recent UCAS figures, 11.5% of young first year students enrolled on full-time first degree undergraduate courses are from the most disadvantaged fifth of the UK. This is according to the POLAR2 measure, which classifies UK wards into five groups, based upon the proportion of 18 year olds who enter higher education between the ages of 18 and 19; the same measure used in this report.
In formulating the report the LSE team analysed Census and Labour Force Survey data, interviewed housing experts and young London tenants, and conducted case studies of several innovative residential developments in the capital. Discussion of the 2012/13 Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey was based upon analysis by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU).

Other: Roberto Rive
Born: Prussia, Breslau (today Wroclaw, Poland)
Died: Italy, Torre del Greco
The Rive's photographic firm, established in Naples, is one of the significant of nineteenth century Italy.
The brothers Robert Rive (Breslau, 1817 - Torre del Greco, 1868) and Julius Rive (Breslau 1828 - Napoli, 1888) were born in Breslau from a French Huguenot family. Early in the 1850's they went to Naples and founded an important photographic firm that was active until the 1890s. They had their studio in Palazzo Serracapriola (Riviera di Chiaia 215), then in Vico Carminello 38 until 1865, when it moved to Palazzo Lieti, via Toledo 317, and after 1886 in Salita San Filippo, Riviera di Chiaia, 15 and 21. The firm participated at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1867.
After the Robert's death, Julius continued to work and to increase the production; the firm was always credited to the eldest Robert Rive.
The Rive firm was one of the first to cover the whole of Italy with his photographic campaigns, from the Lombard Lakes and Venice down to Sicily. The images created by the Rive's studio are constantly marked by a landscapists vision, which imbues even the views of towns and architecture.
The firm produced panorams, urban views and the roads and monuments of the cities, reproductions of artworks. It also recorded earthquake damage and volcanic eruptions, and offered high quality studies for artists.
It adopted every format including large, medium, stereoscopic, cabinet and carte de visite.
Especially rich and original are the images (panoramas, places, roads, monuments, moments of urban life) of Naples and of the Neapolitan marine and hilly area (Caserta, Pozzuoli, Baia, Ischia, Pompei, Ercolano, Castellammare, Sorrento, Capri, Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, Vietri, Raito, Salerno, Cava de' Tirreni, Paestum), as well as of the Sicilian towns and landscapes (Agrigento, Catania, Messina, Palermo and Monreale, Segesta, Siracusa,Taormina,), in many cases these regions were just discovered or still to be discovered by the travelers of the Grand Tour. But the Rive firm produced also unusual images of the Lakes, of Genoa, Turin, Milan, Pavia, Como, Peschiera, Rovereto, Venice, Verone, Bologna, Pisa, Florence, Orvieto, Rome, Frascati, Tivoli, Gaeta, San Germano (Cassino) and Benevento. In 1878 it realized a photographic campaign of views in Paris.

U.S. prosecutors alleged that Brazil's Embraer SA paid an agent $5.76 million after it won an Indian defense deal – part of a broader corruption investigation into the aerospace company's conduct.
Embraer has agreed to pay $205 million in fines to settle the case, which also involved allegations related to the sale of planes to Saudi Arabia, Mozambique and the Dominican Republic.
A filing by the U.S. Justice Department in a federal district court in Florida said that when Embraer was seeking to win business with India's military in 2005, it made a deal with a person identified only as 'Agent D' to pay a 9% commission on any Indian defense deals it later secured.
"Embraer personnel thought the agreement with Agent D was illegal under lndian Iaw and thus took steps to conceal its existence," U.S. investigators said in the court filing.
A spokesperson for India's defense ministry didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. An official at India's Defense Research and Development Organization said it has sought "an explanation from Embraer" and declined to elaborate.
Among other things, the signed contract was locked in a London safe-deposit box that could only be opened if Agent D and an Embraer employee were both present, the filing said.
Embraer soon won a deal with India's defense research agency to help develop a new early-warning radar system, according to the filing. The company hoped it would be a stepping stone to sell India's military a number of early-warning aircraft which would be fitted with the new radar equipment, the filing said.
A few years later, India ordered three such planes, Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft. The deal cost India $208 million. A little over a year after the planes were purchased, Embraer paid $5.76 million through a Swiss subsidiary to a Singapore-based shell company affiliated with Agent D, the court filings allege.
The court filing didn't say whether any of the fee paid to Agent D was passed on to others.
"The company acknowledges responsibility for the conduct of its employees and agents according to the facts ascertained in the investigation," Embraer said in a statement. "Embraer deeply regrets this conduct," it added. Under a deal with the authorities, Embraer won't face charges.

CTLCV Endorses Jorge Cabrera For Senate District 17
Hartford, CT – Today, the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) endorsed Senator Jorge Cabrera (D) to represent the 17th Senate District including the towns of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Derby, Hamden, Naugatuck, and Woodbridge.
In his first term, Senator Cabrera has consistently voted in support of priority environmental initiatives, and has earned high scores on CTLCV's annual Environmental Scorecard.
Jorge Cabrera came to the legislature in 2020 with a long history of community action, and a commitment to protect clean air and water for his district and future generations.
Senator Cabrera enthusiastically put his efforts behind some of the most significant environmental wins our state has achieved in more than a decade. He was an effective voice for climate action in the Senate, calling for passage of groundbreaking legislation to reduce pollution from transportation and set emission standards for heavy duty vehicles, trucks and buses as part of the CT Clean Air Act.
"This was a landmark year for climate action," said Lori Brown, CTLCV Executive Director. "These wins would not have been possible without lawmakers like Jorge Cabrera, who worked hard to pass legislation to reduce pollution that is damaging our health and our environment."
Last year, Senator Cabrera worked tirelessly with fellow environmental champions to update the state's current recycling law known as the Bottle Bill.
Looking ahead, he plans to revisit priority bills that did not pass this year, such as reducing styrofoam waste. He also wants to strengthen our state's Environmental Justice laws to prevent the construction of new polluting facilities in the most vulnerable communities that are already overburdened by air pollution.
"Senator Cabrera is a leader with the right values and is an effective voice at the legislature. We need Senator Cabrera at the Capitol to continue his good work," said Brown.
To receive CTLCV's endorsement, all candidates must have completed a Survey on the Environment. Endorsements are issued based on candidates' responses, voting records in our Scorecard, and demonstrated leadership on specific issues.
The CT League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) is a nonpartisan statewide organization dedicated to protecting Connecticut's environment. CTLCV works to pass equitable and sustainable legislation that impacts our air, land, water, wildlife, and climate and holds all state legislators accountable with an annual Environmental Scorecard.

The Hanoitimes - Vietnam can be a new industrial powerhouse in Southeast Asia and this will open up huge opportunities for industrial property developers, according to JLL Vietnam.
A quite large number of overseas investors have active plans to invest more in industrial real estate in Vietnam to capitalize on rising foreign direct investment in the Southeast Asian country, said a Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) executive.
Although Vietnam's industrial property has seen robust growth, it's still in the nascent stage of development, Bui Nguyen Huyen Trang, head of markets at JLL Vietnam, told Hanoitimes.
Developers in Vietnam normally resell or lease land at industrial zones or offer simple ready-built warehouse/factories that can meet basic needs only, while this model has been much ahead in other country, Trang noted.
"This is the great potential that foreign [industrial property] investors look for and they tend to find local partners for investment. We can totally expect large deals such as Warburg Pincus', she said, referring to the US private equity fund's investment to set up a US$200-million joint venture with Vietnam's Becamex IDC early this year.
Trang pointed out that one of the largest difficulties that investors encounters is the huge land fund for development that can span dozens and hundreds of hectares and much time is needed for site clearance.
In addition, the shortage of labor force, especially in northern Vietnam where many hi-tech companies are based, and a time-consuming investment approval process can dishearten foreign companies to establish their factories in industrial zones. Therefore, industrial property developers should provide assistance to their potential clients, Trang said.
Vietnam can be a new industrial powerhouse in Southeast Asia and this will open up huge opportunities for industrial property developers, a report by JLL Vietnam has showed.
Vietnam has a series of characteristics that provide confident to a raft of large foreign investors from around the globe to set up operations in the country.
Secondly, being one of the countries with the longest coastlines, Vietnam's "extremely favorable strategic" location makes its central to seaborne routes.
Thirdly, Vietnam's appeal also comes from its deepened integration into the global economy through numerous free trade agreements (FTAs). Vietnam's trade deal with South Korea has encouraged Samsung to invest US$17 billion in Vietnam so far.
Fourthly, as China shifts to manufacturing based on higher technology and workforce costs have risen there, manufacturers operating in China now tend to relocate their factories to countries with lower costs. "Given its close proximity, Vietnam has become the top choice for this migration," Trang said.
"Those four factors have made Vietnam's industrial property hotter than ever and the segment will further thrive," Trang stressed, adding Vietnam's export-driven economy and deepened integration give a big boost to industrial real estate.
"Vietnam is establishing itself as the industrial powerhouse within Southeast Asia and as we have witnessed in other countries around the region, we expect the industrial market will enter a new phase and move up the value chain in the future, moving away from labor intensive to capital intensive," Stephen Wyatt, country head of JLL Vietnam, commented in a press release.
Vietnam has established itself as one of the brightest manufacturing hotspots within South East Asia over the past 20 years. In 1986, there was 335 hectares of land dedicated to industrial parks and the figure has reached 80,000 hectares now, according to JLL.
In the first half this year, foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments in Vietnam rose 5.7% year-on-year to US$20.33 billion, with a focus on manufacturing and real estate. Actual FDI in the period reached US$8.37 billion, up 8.4% over the same period last year.

Hip Hop and Justice
Books about race and criminal justice are typically depressing. In the war of the establishment versus angry black men, the establishment wins the power struggle, but is left defending a vulnerable castle. The moral high ground goes to the dispossessed. Because I am white by accident of birth, I am left banging a hollow drum.
Paul Butler's Let's Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice is a welcome change of pace. Sure, Butler is an angry black man. He has plenty to be angry about. The lottery of life handed him a ticket that makes it almost impossible to win big, or to hold such winnings as he may acquire. Butler was a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., in the public integrity division of the Justice Department. A graduate of Yale and the Harvard Law School, he was one day arrested and charged with simple assault. He went from the law's pinnacle to the bargain basement in which we sell black lives at a discount. In truth, his experience as a criminal defendant was not all that jarring. But the experience radicalized him in a polite sort of way. He left government work, became, gasp!, a law professor. His trajectory isn't exactly that of a modern rider on some underground railroad. He retains the privileges conferred by attendance at a law school status factory. But, and this is the rave, his heart is in the right place. He believes in jury nullification and the role of jurors as a means of challenging the status quo. In a brief paragraph or two he asks what would happen in a world in which decisions about social justice were made by those least advantaged in our society, a move perfected and made philosophically robust by John Rawls in his Theory of Justice. What group stands at the fringes of our institutions and power structure, looking in with hungry and angry eyes? Black men. And Hip Hop is the beat of this tribe. Can there be a Hip Hop theory of justice? That's a tall order, and Butler knows it. It is one thing to recite lyrics about the impact of mass incarceration of black men on those left behind, or about anger toward the police. These expressive moves reflect real tensions. Hip Hop hasn't yet found its Immanuel Kant yet; and it may never. I missed Butler's book when it was published in 2009. I recommend it enthusiastically to anyone practicing criminal law. The system, to put it mildly, sucks. It is a massive shell game in which judges refuse to accept responsibility for the sentences they impose, pointing to lawmakers who create mandatory minimums. But lawmakers are ignoramuses about what goes on in a courtroom: It's easy to chest thump in a legislative chamber and to pretend that one size fits all. The criminal justice system lacks accountability, and we deprive the one body that could make a difference and speak truth to power of the information it needs to make reasoned judgments. I am referring, of course, to juries. Just how we have come to emasculate juries is a question Butler doesn't answer. He merely reminds how wrong the practice is. Read Butler, and then lend a hand in the struggle to set juries free to make morally responsible judgments.

Tamil Nadu's spinning mills, buying cotton primarily from other states like Gujarat and Maharashtra, are signing contracts with shippers for delivery in July.
CHENNAI: Yarn manufacturers have begun importing cheaper cotton from West African countries after a sudden inflation in the domestic market was triggered by traders holding onto stocks in view of better realisation and led to panic-buying in the last leg of the current cotton season ending September.
Tamil Nadu's spinning mills, buying cotton primarily from other states like Gujarat and Maharashtra, are signing contracts with shippers for delivery in July. Southern mills con sume about 40% of the 25 lakh bales consumed by spinners each month in the country. Industry estimates show that import of cotton this year will jump to touch 20 lakh bales from the estimated 11 lakh bales.
"About 16 mills had discussed the prospect of import about a week back and signed contracts for delivery in July. The crucial aspect is to not risk longer con tracts that may extend into October when the new season will begin and fresh supply could pull down domestic prices," said Prabhu Damodharan, secretary of Indian Texpreneurs Federation.
He said the hike in prices could impact output by garment exporters who compete with Bangladesh and Vietnam in key markets like the EU. Manikam Ramaswami, who runs the Rs 1,100 crore Loyal Textiles Mills, says 70% of the 30,000 bales for the next three months will be imported.

Deep Focus | Movie Reviews for the Internet
"Since 1994"
Criterion DVD/Blu-ray
Top 10 Lists: 2010-2018
Posted on September 2, 2002 September 16, 2018 by Bryant Frazer
FEARDOTCOM
Imagine that the Web draws energy, spiritual and otherwise, from the material world. Further imagine that if someone's death were streamed over the Web, that person's unquiet ghost could haunt the wires, going so far as to create an elaborate Flash-enabled site that kills everyone who visits it in precisely 48 hours — unless they manage to unravel the murder mystery.
Spoooooooky.
OK, this is not an unintriguing idea. In fact, it crosses the premises of two terrific Japanese horror films, Hideo Nakata's chilling 1998 Ring (remade and ready for an October release by DreamWorks) and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's grim Pulse, which debuted at Cannes last year. Pulse came out about the time this thing started shooting in Luxembourg, so maybe it's just coincidence that both movies are about haunted Web sites. Director William Malone (1999's House on Haunted Hill) is on the record denying any connection with Ring, although I have to wonder if producer Moshe Diamant (who takes credit for the story) could say the same thing with a straight face. The similarities between FEARDOTCOM and Ring are more than superficial.
I can't help but note that Diamant, who gave John Woo, Ringo Lam, and Tsui Hark their first Hollywood gigs, already has a history of co-opting Asian cinema. And if Malone — his bio describes him as a "film historian" — really is ignorant of a phenomenon like Ring, then perhaps someone should smack him upside the head. He deserves to make a movie as bad as this one.
Certainly references to better genre films are abundant. The recurring presence of a little girl with a white ball seems to indicate a debt owed to Mario Bava, who used a similar figure in Kill, Baby, Kill (1968). The all-darkness-all-the-time visual style, urban setting, and themes of sin and punishment are direct descendants of David Fincher's Se7en (1995). The notion of sadism as entertainment has been explored by David Cronenberg, whose old-school version of FEARDOTCOM was set in the world of cable TV and was called Videodrome. The torture sequences, in which Dr. Alistair Pratt slices the clothing off of pretty young women and promises to kill them once the pain becomes too much for them to bear, would echo the beautiful cruelty of Dario Argento if they had any snap. Instead, they're redolent of junk like The Cell, in which nude corpses become fetish objects to augment a flamboyantly grisly visual style. As Fincher proved, the Grand Guignol strategy can pay off big if your movie has a philosophy that demands that sort of treatment, but this one is just lazy.
The big mystery is how Malone convinces name casts to appear in his semi-competent fare. House on Haunted Hill was carried, more or less, by the charismatic presence of good-looking and/or talented folks like Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen and Taye Diggs. FEARDOTCOM's most prestigious star is probably Stephen Rea. If you wonder what he's doing here, consider the strange case of the far more genre-friendly Udo Kier and Jeffrey Combs, both of whom appear early on only to be wasted in victim roles. Compared to those guys, Stephen Dorff and Natasha McElhone are bland-o-rama, so why do they get all the screen time?
To be fair, I didn't hate everything about this movie. The occasional sequences when the ho-hum narrative drops completely away to be replaced by a stream of dreamy visuals are at least stimulating in a purely visual sense (again the Argento connection). And while one of the more tedious plot devices has to do with the victims of feardotcom.com being killed by manifestations of their own greatest phobias, it does lead to an entertainingly gross scene in which a woman and her apartment are overrun by Madagascar hissing cockroaches. (Of course, this same idea was already explored to more extreme effect in a movie called Creepshow, but never mind.) And toward the very end of the picture, Malone seems to engage in a weird sort of auto-critique. When bad guy Alistair Pratt (Rea) finally meets his end, he is seen in a scratchy-celluloid environment where the victims of his heinous crimes come back to get him. So Stephen Rea's greatest fear is being stuck in a bad horror movie? Ha! Gotcha, Steve.

NACDS Foundation dinner brings in more than $1.8M for patient-care initiatives
BY	Sandra Levy November 30, 2018
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation celebrated its 20th Annual Foundation Dinner in New York City on Nov. 28, raising more than $1.8 million, which will support evidence-based research, pharmacy education and philanthropic initiatives to improve patient outcomes and advance population health.
Among the patient-health programs that NACDS Foundation supporters make possible is a collaborative program in Pennsylvania, which screens patients at pharmacies for opioid use disorder and refers those in need to appropriate care," said NACDS chairman Mark Panzer, who is senior vice president of pharmacy, health and wellness at Albertsons.
Panzer also described a program in Washington State with a focus on improving patient care by optimizing statin therapy in patients with diabetes, based on national medical recommendations.
"Today, innovative delivery care models are emerging, which include physicians and pharmacists collaborating together. Under the leadership of the foundation's president Kathleen Jaeger, the foundation is exploring ways to improve care coordination across healthcare teams and to advance patient care and population health," Panzer said.
At the event, Michael Fraser, CEO of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, received the 2018 NACDS Foundation Excellence in Patient Care Award.
"Dr. Fraser has been advancing his organization's mission as an advocate for state and territorial public health for the past two years," said NACDS Foundation president Kathleen Jaeger. "He has provided distinguished leadership in addressing the opioid epidemic and in advancing maternal and children's health, among other vital priorities. Yet, his commitment to helping all Americans lead healthy lives goes even further."
Fraser has served as CEO of the Pennsylvania Medical Society; CEO of the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs; and as a deputy executive director at the National Association of County and City Health Officials. He also has served in several capacities at the Department of Health and Human Services, including his work at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"He has provided a lifetime of leadership on issues that are essential to the foundation's mission," Jaeger said.
"For almost 12 years, I have had the opportunity to serve as chairman of the NACDS Foundation. During that time, I have had the distinct pleasure of working alongside the foundation's talented board of directors. I am confident that the foundation has the right leadership, and the right focus," NACDS president, CEO and NACDS Foundation chairman Steve Anderson said. "And, I'm proud to say that the continued transformation of the foundation has taken us down a path of real achievement to advance patient health. What better way to advance health than to support research that explores promising new models of care — models that can be replicated and scaled into real-world solutions."

Q: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable' I've received two errors pointing to the script down below:
Receiving error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to
  System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Xrm.ActivityParty>    FOR To =
  emailData.To,

And also receiving error:

Cannot initialize type 'Xrm.ActivityParty' with a collection
  initializer because it does not implement
  'System.Collections.IEnumerable'   FOR From = new ActivityParty{

Here  is the code:
foreach (var file in unReadFiles)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem emailData = oApp.Session.OpenSharedItem(file);

    try
    {
        Email scrapedMessage = new Email
        {
            Subject = emailData.Subject,
            Subcategory = EmailHelper.ScrapeMethod.Manual.ToString(),
            Description = emailData.HTMLBody,
            To = emailData.To,
            From = new ActivityParty{
                    emailData.Sender.Address
            }
        };
    }
}

A: It seems that To is an IEnumerab<ActivityParty> and your are trying to just assign a simple string to it. You can use an array like this:
To = new [] {new ActivityParty { To= emailData.To }}

Also for your From property, you need to declare the property name:
From = new ActivityParty
{
    Address = emailData.Sender.Address
}

A: As per MSDN documentation you need to create Activity party class variable to assign your 'To' and 'From' properties.
 private Guid _contactId;
    private Guid _userId;
// Create the 'From:' activity party for the email
                ActivityParty fromParty = new ActivityParty
                {
                    PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, _userId)
                };

                // Create the 'To:' activity party for the email
                ActivityParty toParty = new ActivityParty
                {
                    PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId)
                };
 To = new ActivityParty[] { toParty },
 From = new ActivityParty[] { fromParty },

Серге́й Петро́вич Григо́рьев () — советский легкоатлет, специалист по спортивной ходьбе. Выступал за сборную СССР по лёгкой атлетике в конце 1960-х — начале 1970-х годов, победитель и призёр первенств всесоюзного значения, участник двух летних Олимпийских игр.

Биография
Сергей Григорьев родился 7 октября 1937 года в городе Боровичи Новгородской области.

Занимался лёгкой атлетикой в Ленинграде, состоял в добровольном спортивном обществе «Зенит».

Впервые заявил о себе на всесоюзном уровне в сезоне 1963 года, когда в ходьбе на 50 км выиграл бронзовую медаль на чемпионате страны в рамках III летней Спартакиады народов СССР в Москве — с результатом 4:15.14 уступил здесь только москвичу Анатолию Ведякову и тбилисцу Александру Щербине.

В 1968 году в той же дисциплине одержал победу на чемпионате СССР в Ленинакане (4:20.30,6). Благодаря череде удачных выступлений удостоился права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх в Мехико — в 50-километровой гонке показал результат 4:44.39,2, расположившись в итоговом протоколе соревнований на 15-й строке.

В 1972 году взял бронзу на чемпионате СССР в Москве (4:14.13,2) — в ходьбе на 50 км финишировал третьим позади Вениамина Солдатенко и Отто Барча. Принимал участие в Олимпийских играх в Мюнхене — на сей раз в ходе прохождения дистанции в 50 км был дисквалифицирован и не показал никакого результата.

В 1974 году установил свой личный рекорд в ходьбе на 50 км — 4:00:20.

This magazine/book features 90 pages of pictures and articles devoted to Mickey Mouse. I found it to be a easy read and great to see some of the pictures. None of the stories or pictures were particular unique or new if you have read other pieces over the years or know some of Mickey's history. I would have liked to have seen something more/new/unique, not sure what that could be though given how much about Mickey has been published over the years. The closest this release comes to that is several pieces touch on/look at how wide the reach/impact of Mickey has been over the years. I always find it interesting to see what stories/tidbits of information are included or excluded in publications like this. The pictures include several "classic" ones and some that are a little more rare/obscure, but I believe I have seen them all or similar ones over the years.
I would recommend this for someone who is interested in almost a cliff notes version of Mickey's story and impact or if you enjoy rereading some stories about the mouse from over the years. If you are looking for something more in depth than a series of magazine articles you may be disappointed with this offering especially at its current price point.

Your house is generally going to be the biggest expense and investment in your life, so it can be a good idea to utilize that investment to make yourself a bit of extra money. Listed below are two home improvements that can help you increase your income via your home.
One of the easier ways to earn an extra income with your house is to hire a general contractor to install solar panels on your property. These solar panels may be able to generate enough electricity to offset a bit of your energy usage, which can result in lower utility bills for you. However, you can actually go above simply saving a bit of money if you can generate more electricity than your household actually uses.
If your solar panels collect more electricity than you use then the excess power is sent into the local power grid. When this happens the power company will pay you for the electricity that you have provided.
The amount of money that you will be paid varies, but in general areas that are short on power and experiencing power outages will pay a premium for any additional power that they can get. Either way, it can be extremely satisfying to open a letter from your electric company and discover a check instead of a bill.
You can also use your home to increase your income or offset your bills by setting aside a portion of your home to create a rental space. This option will usually require that you create a self-contained apartment in order to attract prospective renters.
For example, you will want to be able to provide everything from a separate entrance, private bath, full kitchen, and living space if possible. In addition, creating a rental property can boost your home's resale value so that you can earn quite a bit of extra money if you decide to sell your home at a later date.
This option can also be a good way to house guests that may be planning on staying with you for an extended amount of time when you do not have any renters. This can ensure that you and your houseguests do not get in each other's way or intrude on one another's privacy.
Contact a contractor today, like C & Z Construction, in order to start determining how to make more money through your home. There are numerous home improvements available that can help you reduce your bills or boost your household income.

How many leaf-blowers does #Manchester Council have? #answerisblowinginthewind →
Good news from #Manchester Town Hall. (not #climate, but Living Wage)
Manchester City Council wants to throw its weight around for the greater good – in the form of a Living Wage. Following a resolution by the Council in March to "introduce a Living Wage for all of the Council's directly and indirectly employed staff and to promote its introduction across the city", they're setting up a "Task and Finish" group.
The group, which will be chaired by Councillor Luke Raikes (see video below), will meet four times before reporting back to both the Economy and Finance Scrutiny Committees. The meetings are open to the public, and will happen in September, October, November and January. The other members of the group Councillors Rebecca Moore and Andrew Simcock Sarah Russell, Mark Hackett and Nigel Murphy.
The key objectives of the group are
To determine how the Council as an employer and procurer of services can maximise the number of people in the city earning the Living Wage.
To develop an understanding of how other authorities have introduced a Living Wage and identify the best model for introducing a Living Wage in Manchester.
To develop a step by step plan to implement the Living Wage in all of Manchester's schools, the Council's contractors and sub-contractors as soon as is practicable.
To establish a strong social and economic case of the benefits that introducing a Living Wage will bring to the city, which links to the Council's strategic priorities.
To ensure that the introduction of a Living Wage will continue to be meaningful in the long term and resilient to changes in national policy and legislation.

Task and Finish groups are sub-groups of councillors (usually from one or two of the six scrutiny committees, but other keen councillors can be a part of 'em). They tend to form to discuss a specific problem that is too unwieldy for any single committee, and which needs further investigation.
A cynic might say that councillors put themselves forward so they have something to put on their next election leaflet, to Show That They Care. But actually, there aren't that many Alan B'stard councillors – most are doing it because they want to make a difference or because they want to get ahead. And they tend to actually be interested/care about the issue (I know, call me naïve).
The T and F groups tend to have three "investigatory" meetings where witnesses are called, discussions held. These witnesses won't just be Town Hall officers, but the great unwashed from the wider world too. There's a final meeting to stitch things together, and then the Task and Finish group reports back to the committee(s) it came from.
Recommendations are heard, usually accepted and then, theoretically can become enacted. Officers prepare an "action" "plan." Occasionally – as is happening currently with the Environmental Sustainability Subgroup that came from a suggestion by a former member of the Economy Scrutiny Committee in mid-2013 – the members ask for the implementation plan to have more detail. ("Following endorsement of the final report of the Environmental Sustainability Subgroup its March 2014 meeting, the Committee asked for a report proposing how the recommendations would be measured. This was submitted to the June meeting of the Committee, which asked for a further more detailed version to be provided. ")
Being the Chair of a Task and Finish is a good way to show the rest of the Labour group whether you have the makings of a potential "Doer" (can you run good meetings, ask the right questions, get on with officers of all qualities etc etc). Kate Chappell chaired the above-mentioned Environmental Sustainability Sub-group, but had to relinquish the role for the final meeting because… she had catapulted to the role of Executive Member for the Environment.

This is Nathan writing. So it has been a little while since I've posted words and I think that has to do with the fact that I've been evaluating things for myself, here in India. As it stands, I am deciding that I need to pursue other things than the internship I originally set out to participate in. I will be staying in Pondicherry while Sarah returns to the state of Karnataka to continue her endeavors with Vanastree. I may not contribute as regularly to the blog but I do intend to stay connected; I will post photographs and occasionally some text. Anyone wanting to know details is totally welcome to e-mail me, I'd just rather not take up blog space. I hope everyone reading this is well and I thank you all for showing interest in our journeys in the Great Subcontinent.
Wishing each other all the best in our separate journeys from our comfortable guest house in Pondy, where I will be staying.

The translation of texts is an ancient practice and the discussion and debate surrounding translation date back at least a few millennia. The ancient Greeks spoke of two elements of translation: metaphrase (word for word) and paraphrase (idea by idea). Effective translation was seen as the thoughtful blending of these two aspects, with the Roman poet Horace cautioning against exclusively verbum pro verba (word for word) translation in the first century BC . In later centuries, as translation further developed as both a science and an art, translators began to speak of translation in terms of the dual concepts of fidelity (faithfulness to the meaning of the source text) and transparency (beauty and naturalness in the target language).
In the 20th century, the Bible translator Eugene Nida introduced the terms formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence to refer to the Greek ideas of metaphrase and paraphrase, respectively. Dynamic equivalence communicates the ideas and thoughts of the source text with less reliance on borrowed words or calques (a calque is a literal translation of a particular word or idiom that is unnatural and can even have an incorrect or nonsense meaning in a particular context in the target language text—the kinds of humorous errors often produced by machine translations). It is currently understood that formal and dynamic equivalence are not mutually exclusive and are often employed simultaneously in the same text or even the same context by the same translator. This has given rise to the tripartite goal of Bible translators to produce a translation that is accurate, clear and natural in the language of the intended audience.
In Bible translations around the world, particularly in the languages of tribal, secular or traditionally Christian people groups, the appropriate balance and blending of these three elements (accuracy, clarity and naturalness) is considered not only acceptable, but desirable. However, when it comes to communicating the biblical message to people who are from major world religions, tensions in the world geopolitical situation seem to interfere with the process. This introduces controversy that impedes the goal of achieving clear, accurate and natural translations. Local and expatriate Christians have been known to react strongly to the idea of a text being beautiful and natural in the language of their socio-political rivals. Or, they may lobby for a word-for-word translation of key passages that are familiar to them and for the importation of key vocabulary items that are theologically important to them, even at the expense of incorrect or nonsensical meaning in the language of the people group who are the intended audience.
Non-linguistic features, like formatting and publication and distribution channels, and choice of communication medium, also send a message to the audience, so decisions on these features are important to consider in the overall communication of the biblical message.
Many of the translations used in languages spoken by people of diverse world religions were originally developed for Christian minority communities. The underlying assumption of the translators from those communities was often that the Scriptures are only for those who are already part of an established church, and so those who are not from other backgrounds have to learn church language if they want to understand the Bible. Those interested in following Jesus are expected to assimilate to these existing Christian minority communities.
In many cases these ecclesiastical translations are quite literal and use traditional key terms and expressions as used by the national church or by foreign Christians. In some cases, such as in Arabic, the church translations use Syriac or Greek words for many key terms, since at one time these were accessible to churches who used Greek or Syriac liturgies. Unfortunately these borrowed words have never been accessible to Arabic-speaking Muslims. Similarly there is often little to no adaptation of metaphor to the target language or correction of misunderstandings due to audience worldview, since Christian communities have traditionally valued literal translation as a way of being faithful to the inspired text. Furthermore, these Christian communities generally have a well-developed system of religious instruction and initiation, and so it is less important to them that ordinary readers be able to understand the text on their own.
In most major languages of the world, there are different translations for or by different denominations. For example, most European languages have Protestant and Catholic versions available. Many languages also have a translation of the Old Testament for the Jewish population who are native speakers of the language.
Many Bible translators have recognized that there are differences between the ecclesiastical vocabulary that Christians use and the vocabulary that people in the wider community use to talk about religious ideas. Transitional Bible translations seek to bridge that gap by using terminology that is more natural for the wider community. This kind of translation is undertaken with the implicit (or sometimes explicit) assumption that non-Christians who come to faith in Christ should eventually assimilate into existing church communities, whether denominational institutions or non-denominational church plants, and distance themselves from their existing family and friendship networks. The underlying assumption is that the Bible is primarily for the established Christian church, but should also be accessible for people of other religions who want to understand it and join the traditional church community. Therefore, more natural proper names and religious vocabulary items are used.
In some cases, Bible translators in a community recognize that people from diverse religious traditions do not all want to join an established Christian community when they make the decision to believe in Jesus and follow him as Lord and Savior. Such believers do not seek a break with their family and friend networks, choosing instead to serve God as disciples of Jesus within their communities. In many cases, Jesus communities (what we call churches) have emerged from existing family and friend networks.
Bible translators who serve these Jesus communities recognize that the new believers want a translation they can share with their families and friends. They want their translations to use natural vocabulary as well as natural idioms, metaphors and literary style. Such translations are done under the assumption that the Scriptures should be accessible to people of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, and that different communities often need different kinds of translation.
When Jesus communities (i.e. indigenous churches) emerge in a non-Christian religious environment, the communities often seek a Bible translation that can meet their particular social, cultural and spiritual needs, even if there is an existing translation of one of the above types in their language. They sometimes call upon local or expatriate Christians to help them in producing such a Bible translation. Interestingly, it is a common tendency for these communities to undertake a more word-for-word translation, using natural proper names and vocabulary items, but retaining a more foreign style. However, there are some examples of indigenous translations that employ natural idioms and metaphors and a natural literary style as well. Many of these translations explicitly address differences of worldview by providing clarification of biblical concepts and background information, either parenthetically in the text or in accompanying articles or footnotes. When this kind of translation has been done as a collaborative effort between people of different cultural and religious backgrounds, the translation process and the resulting product has sometimes been a means of reconciliation and peacemaking.
Sometimes, in small language groups that are made up about equally of Christians and those of another religion, and in languages in which there is not a long tradition of literature, the community decides together that it needs a translation of the Bible that is accessible to all speakers of the language. The translation committee is usually made up of representatives of both religious groups and both groups share the vision and responsibility for the translation. Those who produce this type of Bible translation seek to communicate naturally with regards to any and all of the features we have talked about, from vocabulary items to literary style to addressing worldview issues.
Most major languages include some examples from each type of translation. Even in smaller languages, it is not unusual to see most of the types represented. This is because in any given language community, there are different kinds of audiences for the biblical message and each audience has its own set of needs and preferences. A group of Christ followers who have left their family and friend networks, and who see Western forms of worship and study as a help rather than a hindrance to their walk of faith, prefer certain features in a Bible translation. On the other hand, Christ followers who want to spread God's Word within their networks of family and friends have quite different needs. Furthermore, minority Christians whose religious rituals and language have been passed on for countless generations as elements of a separate minority community in a wider religious environment have yet different expectations of a Bible translation.
The needs and preferences of different audiences can also be seen in English-speaking contexts. Many English-speaking Christians have very strong feelings about which English Bible translation is "best" and may consider other translations to be inferior or even heretical. These preferences are sociological as much as they are theological, although many people justify their choices with theological arguments. A recent question on the Yahoo! Answers website asked, "Christians, do you support the Bible translated into Ebonics? [African American Vernacular English]" The answers were mostly negative, mentioning some variant on the theme of "butchering the English language." For those respondents, the concern is not whether "Yo Big Daddy Upstairs" is an theologically accurate translation of "Our Father who art in Heaven." Instead, their concern is how hearing a familiar and beloved passage rendered in the language of another socio-cultural group makes them feel.
The emotional dimension in acceptance of a Bible translation should not be underestimated, for it hits us right at the core of our identity! If God speaks naturally in the language of those we look down upon, fear or even hate, then what does that tell us about God? What does it tell us about ourselves? What does it say about our relationship to God and to our neighbor? These are powerful and challenging questions, and the way we deal with them can and does affect how a Bible translation produced by one social group is perceived by those in a rival group.
We can see from the above discussion that different communities often want different translations of Scripture, even when they are from the same language or people group. Some years ago, the United Bible Societies had as their slogan for the year: "God's Word: Open to All". This is a noble goal, but its realization depends on how we answer the important question, "Can God's Word speak clearly and naturally in the languages of diverse communities—even in the languages of our enemies?" Around the world, translators, evangelists and church planters are grappling with this question, seeking to make themselves aware of the particular needs for Scripture in the communities where they work, and to smooth the way for people to access the message of God in a relevant and meaningful way. Such thoughtful research into the needs of each community reflects the message of the Apostle James when he spoke to the assembled apostles and elders in Jerusalem: "…we should not make it difficult…for those who are turning to God." (Acts 15:19).


Here is the finisher's medal from the Tower of Terror 10 Miler that took place on October 5, 2013 at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
Leigh is also photographed with her Happy Haunted 5K medal as well. She ran both on the October 4-5 weekend.
If you love marathon medals and building up your bling collection with awesome souvenirs from races then you will love the 2013 Walt Disney World Marathon Medal that was previewed today via a release video.
The medal celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Marathon that attracts over 20,000 runners each year to Orlando, Florida.
This medal seems to have it all: dual spinners, Mickey Mouse spinning head, old school Mickey Mouse spinning head, large design, strong shield like design and a thick ribbon to let it swing from your neck like an overlarge pendulum inside It's a Small World.

HCD Awards $427.9 Million to Help Counties Address Mental Illness and Homelessness
by California Department of Housing and Community Development March 11, 2020 March 11, 2020
SACRAMENTO March 11, 2020 – On the heels of Governor Newsom's statewide homelessness tour, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announces awards totaling $427.9 million from the No Place Like Home program. No Place Like Home dedicates up to $2 billion in bond funds to build permanent housing with supportive services for Californians who live with severe mental illness and are experiencing homelessness, chronic homelessness, or are at-risk of chronic homelessness. The bonds will be repaid by funding from California's Mental Health Services Act.
"The No Place Like Home awards are a key part of the state's continued collaboration across all levels of government and communities to take urgent, meaningful action to address California's homelessness crisis," said Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency Secretary, Lourdes Castro Ramírez. "By teaming up to provide permanent housing and supportive services, our hope is fewer Californians will experience homelessness by finding safe, affordable homes."
These awards follow Governor Newsom's statewide tour on homelessness, 100-day challenge to cities and counties, and announcement of 286 state-owned properties immediately available to cities and counties to use for homelessness solutions. Governor Newsom also released $650 million for the state Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program, included more than $1 billion in his proposed budget, and continues to challenge cities and counties to partner with the state on immediate impact solutions to tackle homelessness.
The awarded counties represent jurisdictions with five percent or more of the state's homeless population that have self-selected to be "Alternative Process Counties," which allows them to administer their own competitive distributions of No Place like Home funding within their respective jurisdictions.
The next round of competitive No Place Like Home funding is scheduled to be announced this summer.
