ABS-CBN Teleseryes Captivate Hearts of Non-Filipinos Worldwide
I like to share with you this news article from Starmometer.com. Yup, different ABS-CBN's teleseryes were now aired worldwide using different languages the way we did with the different Asinovelas and Mexiconovelas here.
The article reads:
The Kapamilya fever around the world grows even stronger as ABS-CBN programs prove to be a hit not only among Filipinos but among other nations as well.
Recently, "Pangako sa 'Yo" aired on China's national television and rated second over all local and foreign programs airing in the country. Ten years after Filipinos became so attached to the Kristine Hermosa-Jericho Rosales tandem, the classic teleserye still appealed to the Chinese audience and even hit the Top 30 list in the national weekly ranking, covering over 2,000 channels and capturing 1.3 billion viewers.
Prior to China, the love story of Angelo Buenavista and Yna Macaspac have mesmerized people in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia and even Africa. As Cambodian Nai Hiu Mei recounts, "The teleserye, broadcasted here with Khmer dubbing, was so popular that many Cambodian babies are named Angelo." The Times of Zambia writer Meluse Kapatamoyo wrote, "The series has become a topic of discussion among families, friends and even neighbors who daily ponder on how the show would end." René Lötter of One Africa Television has even said, "When is Pangako sa'Yo coming back?' I wish I could get a dollar each time I get that question. From teenager to grandma, from household organizers to tax consultant – it's gripped people across all genders."
Aside from "Pangako sa 'Yo" (known internationally as "The Promise"), several other homegrown entertainment programs have been brought to a broader global audience through the pioneering efforts of ABS-CBN Global's International Sales and Distribution (ISD).
Carried by the biggest state television broadcaster in mainland China, "Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin" (a.k.a. "Only You") aired on primetime, alongside "Pangako sa 'Yo". Meanwhile, "Sana Maulit Muli" (a.k.a. "Chances"), "Maging Sino Ka Man" (a.k.a. "More Than Love") and "Gulong ng Palad" (a.k.a. "Stand for Love") are expected to be aired in the Republic soon.
Also earning international recognition worldwide is the Angel Locsin-Piolo Pascual starrer "Lobo" (a.k.a. "She-Wolf: The Last Sentinel"). In the recently concluded 2009 International Emmy® Awards, "She-Wolf" was recognized for the stellar performance of Angel Locsin who received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress. This recognition is second for the show, which won the Best Telenovela award at the 30th BANFF World Television Festival in Toronto, Canada last year. Currently, the program is enjoying wide viewership in Brunei and is anticipated to be released to other countries in Indo-China, Asia, Europe and Africa this year.
ABS-CBN shows are subtitled and dubbed in several languages, including English, Turkish, Khmer, Mandarin, and French.
One of the programs dubbed in French is "Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay" (a.k.a. "La Longue Attente" in French and "The Long Wait" in English) which will cater to French-speaking viewers in Africa and Europe. According to International Sales and Distribution Head Reena Garingan, ABS-CBN programs sell so well because they resonate to the African audience. "Our writers, directors and actors are able to capture real-life experiences on screen. Our stories show pain and suffering but in the end, give viewers a glimpse of hope. As we demonstrate that obstacles and fear may be overcome, we help mend the broken African spirit," Garingan said.
For more than a decade, ISD has been the premier source of top quality programs from the Philippines, making ABS-CBN Global the first and the biggest Philippine content distributor in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia-Pacific and the leading Asian distributor in Africa.
Through ISD, Kapamilya shows have become so popular among non-Filipinos that ABS-CBN is now regarded as a market mover and thought leader in the field of broadcasting in Africa. In fact, Garingan recently attended a content and distribution forum to speak in front of leading journalists and broadcasters in Africa and discuss the social and ethical responsibilities of media professionals.
Indeed, ABS-CBN has made its mark in the global market. Through the efforts of ABS-CBN Global's International Sales and Distribution group, homegrown Pinoy entertainment has been given a chance to shine on the global stage.

Citizenship Bill: Federal US commission seeks sanctions against Amit Shah
Source: PTI | Published on 10th December 2019, 9:28 PM | National News | Don't Miss |
Washington: A federal US commission on international religious freedom has said that the Citizenship Amendment Bill is a "dangerous turn in wrong direction" and sought American sanctions against Home Minister Amit Shah if the bill is passed by both houses of the Indian Parliament.
According to the proposed legislation, members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities, who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, till December 31, 2014 facing religious persecution there, will not be treated as illegal immigrants but given Indian citizenship.
Shah on Monday introduced the controversial bill in Lok Sabha, where it was passed with 311 members favouring it and 80 voting against it, will now be tabled in the Rajya Sabha for its nod.
Shah while introducing the bill had made it clear that people belonging to any religion should not have any fear under Prime Minister Narendra Modi government as he asserted that the bill will give relief to those minorities who have been living a painful life after facing persecution in neighbouring countries.
Shah asserted that the bill has the endorsement of 1.3 billion Indian citizens and rejected suggestions that the measure is anti-Muslims, saying it will give rights to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
"Citizenship amendment bill has the endorsement of 1.3 billion citizens of the country as it was the part of the BJP manifesto in 2014 as well as 2019 Lok Sabha elections," he said.
However, the bill has been opposed by the Congress, Trinamool Congress and other Opposition parties.
In a statement issued on Monday, the US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) said that it was deeply troubled over the passage of the bill in Lok Sabha.
"If the CAB passes in both houses of parliament, the US government should consider sanctions against the Home Minister Amit Shah and other principal leadership," the commission said.
"USCIRF is 'deeply troubled' by the passage of the CAB, originally introduced by Home Minister Shah, in the Lok Sabha given the religion criterion in the bill," it added.
USCIRF alleged that the CAB enshrines a pathway to citizenship for immigrants that specifically excludes Muslims, setting a legal criterion for citizenship based on religion.
"The CAB is a dangerous turn in the wrong direction; it runs counter to India's rich history of secular pluralism and the Indian Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law regardless of faith," it said.
Stating that in conjunction with the ongoing National Register of Citizens (NRC) process in Assam and nationwide NRC that Home Minister Shah seeks to propose, the commission said: "USCIRF fears that the Indian government is creating a religious test for Indian citizenship that would strip citizenship from millions of Muslims".
It also said that for more than a decade now the Indian Government has ignored the statements and annual reports of the USCIRF.
India from the days of the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) regime has consistently said that it does not recognises a third country's views or reports on its internal affairs.
It is based on this ground that India for more than a decade now has denied visas to USCIRF to travel to India for their on the ground assessment of the religious freedom in India.
Recommendations of USCIRF are not enforceable. However, its recommendations are seriously taken into consideration by the US Government in particular the State Department which is tasked with powers to take sanctionable actions against foreign entities and individuals for violation of religious freedom and human rights.

Health Insurance for American Indians and Alaska Natives

After Frank Lalli, the former editor of Money and George magazines, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a potentially deadly blood cancer, he turned his experiences with our health care system into becoming The Health Care Detective™ and the author of Simon & Schuster's Your Best Health Care – Now. He also reports regularly for National Public Radio's Robin Hood Radio and Parade magazine to help people make better health care decisions and save money, too. In addition, he has testified twice before the U.S. Congress as an expert witness.
Health Insurance Protections Medicaid Protections The ACA, American Indians, and Alaska Natives Health Disparities for Tribal Members
According to the 2010 U.S. census, 5.2 million individuals identify as American Indians and Alaska Natives (or AI/AN). Unfortunately, nearly one in five American Indians and Alaska Natives do not have health insurance; that's twice the national uninsurance rate. Unfortunately, financial and geographic barriers to adequate healthcare continue to impact tribal populations.
But help is available if you know where to look. Members of the 573 federally-recognized tribes have access to unique health insurance benefits. For example, Affordable Care Act plans (ACA, also called Obamacare) and Medicaid have extended protections to AI/AN communities. The Indian Health Service also provides tribal care.
With a little effort, American Indians and Alaska Natives can compare and find the best plan for them. Here are some options.
Looking for Health Insurance?
Health Insurance Protections for American Indians and Alaska Natives
As a tribal member, you can enroll in health insurance at any time of the year, whereas nearly everyone else has to wait until the November-December enrollment period. Forget about having to wait for that Open Enrollment Period or qualifying for a Special Enrollment Period to join an Affordable Care Act plan. You can also change plans once a month.
You won't have to pay out-of-pocket costs if you have coverage from Indian health programs. That means no out-of-pocket costs for deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.
You can pay less (or nothing) for out-of-pocket costs if you have an ACA plan, depending on your annual income. AI/AN individuals with incomes between 100% to 300% of the federal poverty level ($12,760 to $38,280) are eligible for plans that will cost them absolutely zero for medical care, regardless of the type of plan they choose. Individual tribal members who earn less than $38,280 this year won't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses.
You can still use services from the Indian Health Service or other Indian health programs even if you are enrolled in a private health plan. You can also access medical benefits from your private plan, including the 10 essential health benefits.
Medicaid Protections for American Indians and Alaska Natives
You won't have to pay premiums or out-of-pocket costs under Medicaid. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, states cannot charge Medicaid premiums to individuals using Indian health systems.
You may have an easier time qualifying for Medicaid under eligibility rules. As a member of a federally recognized tribe, you face fewer limitations when it comes to applying for Medicaid as long as your income is generally under $13,000 for an individual and $25,000 for a family of four. What is the Indian Health Service?
The federally funded Indian Health Service (IHS), provides medical services for eligible AI/AN individuals. As an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, the IHS provides health services that uphold both cultural and medical standards for AI/AN populations. You can use IHS if you meet any of the following criteria:
You are of American Indian and/or Alaska Native descent;
You are enrolled in an AI/AN tribe or group;
You live on tax-exempt land;
You actively participate in tribal affairs.
The following individuals may also qualify for IHS even if they are not AI/AN:
Children, younger than 19-years-old, of an eligible AI/AN;
Spouses of an eligible AI/AN.
If you are unsure of your eligibility, check the official IHS guidelines here. Keep in mind that individuals whose healthcare is provided by IHS do not have to pay out-of-pocket costs for any health services or equipment.
Currently, IHS centers provide health services for 2.5 million AI/AN throughout the United States. By providing services closer to communities with tribal members, the IHS has increased health resources for many.
The ACA, American Indians, and Alaska Natives
Under the 2010 Affordable Care Act, individuals without insurance had to pay a federal penalty, through their tax returns. That federal "individual mandate" is no longer being enforced, but some states still require the uninsured to pay a state tax penalty for not having "credible" health insurance. American Indians and/or Alaska Natives may not be penalized for being uninsured, depending on your state.
Health Disparities for Tribal Members
Historically, American Indians and Alaska Natives have faced challenges to access quality healthcare. Compared to the national average, AI/AN communities have less public health education and resources. AI/AN individuals also are disadvantaged by limited treatment options and lack of medical centers. But at least 20% are enrolled in generous plans, and more AI/AN tribal members should apply.

Q: jQuery toggle multiple checkboxes with one button I am trying to code an easy way to check and uncheck form checkboxes with jQuery.
I have tried some of the examples found in stackoverflow, but my limited JS knowledge is keeping me from getting results.
Here is my code, and it is not changing the input checkboxes to "checked" as I intended, i also included a button to clear the selection, but JS still does not reference it.
HTML:

    <input id="#select-all" type="button" value="Tutti" title="Toggle">

    <input id="#select-none" type="button" value="Nessuno" title="Clear">

                            <input class="bottone-opzioni" id="_4wd" name="_4wd" type="checkbox">
                            <input id="_4wd" name="_4wd" type="hidden" value="0">

                        4WD

                            <input class="bottone-opzioni" id="_airbag" name="_airbag" type="checkbox">
                            <input id="_airbag" name="_airbag" type="hidden" value="0">

                        Airbag

jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#select-all").click(function() {
        var checkBoxes = $("input.bottone-opzioni");
        checkBoxes.prop("checked", !checkBoxes.prop("checked"));
    });
});

Here is the fiddle I set up to test:
Hope you can help.

A: Your jQuery is fine, your HTML however, is wrong.
http://jsfiddle.net/82hLvvtt/1/
You have a # in the HTML id, which is not needed like a jQuery selector. Just remove it.
<input id="select-all" type="button" value="Tutti" title="Toggle">

<input id="select-none" type="button" value="Nessuno" title="Clear">

A: You had a mistake in your HTML. Don't include # when declaring an elements ID
e.g
this is incorrect:
<input id="#select-all" type="button" value="Tutti" title="Toggle">

this is correct
<input id="select-all" type="button" value="Tutti" title="Toggle">

Fiddle
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#select-all").click(function() {
    var checkBoxes = $("input.bottone-opzioni");
    checkBoxes.prop("checked", !checkBoxes.prop("checked"));
});

$("#select-none").click(function() {
    var checkBoxes = $("input.bottone-opzioni");
    checkBoxes.prop("checked", !checkBoxes.prop("checked"));
});

});

Home Opinion Fact or serendipity?
Fact or serendipity?
It's a pretty futile task to find any headlines other than those pertaining to the question of the England manager's job this morning but is it inevitable that Harry Redknapp is about to step into Fabio Capello's expensive Italian shoes?
Virtually every newspaper and sports website is covering this and there are so many different claims as to what, if anything, has already been decided. Some stories suggest that the Harry is the FA's man and it's just a matter of sounding out the issue of compensation.
Other reports go further than that and claim that Daniel Levy is already looking for Redknapp's replacement from Europe's elite.
Another suggestion that is doing the rounds is that Harry will attempt to combine jobs at both club and country until after Euro 2012 but would that disrupt the campaigns of either?
Football fiction writers couldn't have constructed a better script yesterday as Harry walked free from Southwark in the morning and Capello resigned just a few hours later. Newspaper editors would have been joyous too as their stories wrote themselves.
So is this just coincidence and are there really no other candidates or will Harry Redknapp really walk in to Lancaster Gate over the course of the next few days?
BobbyH February 9, 2012 at 10:39 am
After spending most of the summer convincing Modric and I am sure a few others that Spurs is the place to be, walking out of Spurs at the end of the season (or even before) will not sit right with anyone.
Come on Harry, you heard us at the Lane against Wigan. Do the decent thing and finish what you started. COYS
ross February 9, 2012 at 10:54 am
Well said Bobby H. Although i can't help feeling that there would not be a better time for him to leave than after we qualify for the champions league at the end of the season.
One thing is for sure though. He's done a massive job for us and brings out the best in our players. Would Mourinho do the same with a limited budget and a wage cap?
Allan Lovelock February 9, 2012 at 10:59 am
There is no doubt abut it that Harry is the best man for the England job but I also think he is a man of honour and I would like to think that at this stage of the season with so much at stake he would not just walk away from Tottenham , not only that the England job comes supplied with a target that you fix to your backside with a notice that says kick me if things don't go right, but at Whitehart lane he is the King. Long live Harry at the lane.
jon February 9, 2012 at 11:04 am
The right way to deal with this would be for Harry to come out and say that whatever happens he will be staying at Tottenham until the end of the season and to say 'Daniel deals wiv these fings, i don't get involved' and get us qualified for the chamions league ready for our next manager that Levy will be working his ass off sorting out behind the scenes.COYS.
bikergrandad February 9, 2012 at 11:25 am
It goes without saying that Harry R has the backing of the media! judging by all the comments made in the tabloids!
However, whilst Harry R has done a triffic job so far at Spurs,has he really achieved anything yet? Sure we qualified for the Champions League for the first time! but thats not winning anything! A team is defined by what trophies it holds and currently we are still amongst the also rans!Another point, which comes from personal experience.When the going gets tough and Harry's ticker starts to have palpitations again, will he find his health up to the job? I hope for his sake it does but I wouldn't put my currently successful job on the line for a fickle public and a mercenary media!!
Come on Harry! finish the job and win us the Premiership, The Champions League, The FA Cup or whatever and make Spurs fans proud of your legacy first. Its not as if you need the cash?
Geezy February 9, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Who'd want the England job? I can't think of one manager in the last 20 years who's come out of it with an enhanced reputation. Capello has the best record of any English manager for more than half a century and everybody's still celebrating seeing him leave.
It's a bit like being asked to be Prime Minister… "Would you like this high-pressure, high-profile, intensely public job where you'll be roundly criticised if you fail to meet everybody's unrealistically high expectations?"
If he wants to take the England job instead of sticking with the best Spurs team in decades, more fool him.
Blake February 9, 2012 at 9:28 pm
I think it's basically common knowledge that 'Arry is the next England gaffer, but I just hope the next Spurs manger can keep the lads together as well and build on the hard work that has been put in. It's just sad he can't finish the job of building Tottenham into a European giant. But I know the ole wheeler and dealer will be proud of the position he has left spurs in.
I like to personal wish Harry the best as England's manger and you'll always be a Spurs legend!!

1. What are my rights?
Data Protection Law gives individuals a right of access to the personal data which organisations hold about them, subject to certain exemptions (see What are the exemptions?). Requests for access to personal data are known as subject access requests. This page explains how to submit a subject access request to SOAS, how we will handle your request, and your right to complain if you are dissatisfied.
If you submit a subject access request to SOAS, you are entitled to be told whether we hold any data about you. If we do, you also have the right:
To be given a description of the data, the purposes for which the data are being processed, how long the data is retained, and those to whom the data may have been disclosed, including transfers outside of the European Economic Area;
To be informed of your other rights, particularly the right to correct or request erasure of your data
To be given a copy of the data in an intelligible form, with any unintelligible terms explained;
To be provided with any information available to SOAS about the source of the data; and
To be told of the existence of any automated decision-making, including profiling, using your personal data, with an explanation of the logic involved and how this processing is likely to affect you.
Further information about your rights under Data Protection Law is available on the website of the Information Commissioner.
If your request is for information other than information about yourself, such as information about decisions or actions by SOAS, you cannot submit it as a subject access request. See our Freedom of Information pages for details of how to submit a Freedom of Information Act request
2. How do I submit a request?
Requests for access to personal data can be made in writing or orally. SOAS has a Subject Access Request Form, which is designed to gather the information which we need to identify you, communicate with you and locate data about you. You do not have to complete this form to submit a request, but we find it is a helpful guide for both the School and requesters in clarifying who you are and what information you wish to receive.
When making a subject access request, please note that in doing so you will be checking that SOAS is processing your data lawfully. If you only want certain types of data, please be as specific as possible about the information which you want access to, as this will assist us in processing your request. If we hold a large quantity of information on you, and your request covers all or most of that information, we may return to you to specify the information you want or the processing activities to which your request relates.
You may ask a third party to make a request on your behalf. However, please be aware that it is your responsibility for ensuring that you provide evidence of the third party's entitlement to make the request for you.
In order to process your request we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, which may involve asking you for specific forms of photographic ID, such as your student/staff ID, a driver's licence or the page(s) in your passport which identify you. We will not begin processing your request until we are satisfied we have verified your identity.
Please send details of your subject access request and ID by email to dataprotection@soas.ac.uk, or by post to the following address:
Information Compliance Manager
Governance and Compliance Directorate
Thornhaugh Street
London WC1H 0XG
3. What happens next?
We will send you an acknowledgement of your request as soon as possible. This will indicate the deadline by which you can expect a response. We may also ask you to provide further information or clarification if we require it to process your request.
After SOAS receives your request, we must consider it and respond to it. We will respond as soon as possible, and in all cases within one month of receipt of your request. Following ICO guidance, we calculate deadlines by following the formula below:
Equivalent day of the next month, counted from the day after the request is received. For example, if a request is received on 5 June, we calculate the deadline as 6 July.
If we reasonably require further information from you to locate the data which you have requested, or we need to verify your identity, we will inform you as soon as possible, and the one month deadline will commence from the date when we receive the information from you.
You will receive your response in standard letter format. If the amount of information you have requested is too large to fit into the letter, or is held in a different format (e.g. as a dataset), we will provide the information you have requested separately. If you have made your request electronically, then we will respond to you electronically unless you have asked us to do otherwise.
If SOAS holds no data about you, you will be informed of this. You will also be informed of any cases where data about you have been withheld and the reasons for this, including the relevant exemptions (see What are the exemptions?), unless doing so would itself reveal information which would be subject to an exemption.
4. What are the exemptions?
The Data Protection Act (2018) includes various exemptions which specify the circumstances in which an organisation can refuse to provide access to personal data. The most likely situations in which SOAS could refuse a subject access request are where:
The release of the data would jeopardise the prevention or detection of crime, or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders;
You have requested access to an examination script, other than examiners' comments;
You have requested data contained in a confidential reference;
You have requested data which record SOAS's intentions in relation to any negotiations with you, and the release of the data would prejudice the negotiations;
The data is covered by legal professional privilege;
The data relates to management forecasting or management planning, and its release to you would prejudice SOAS's business or activities; or
You have requested access to data which have been retained for the purposes of historical or statistical research, the conditions set out in the Data Protection Act for processing for research purposes have been met, and the results of the research have not been published in a way which identifies individuals.
If SOAS withholds data from you as a result of an exemption under the Data Protection Act, we will explain why the data have been withheld and the relevant exemption, unless doing so would itself disclose information which would be subject to the exemption.
Data Protection Law allows us to extend the deadline for responding to your request by up to two months if your request is complex, and will communicate our intention to extend the deadline along with the reason within one month of receiving your request. If you request further copies of your data we may charge a reasonable administrative fee.
We have to protect the Data Protection rights and other legal rights of other individuals when we respond to subject access requests. Information which does not relate to you may be redacted (blacked out) or removed, particularly if it relates to other individuals. Sometimes we may not be able to release data relating to you because doing so would also reveal information about other persons who have not consented to their data being released, and it would not be reasonable in the circumstances to release the data without their consent. In such cases, you will be informed that data about you have been withheld and the reasons for doing so.
5. Can I appeal?
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your subject access request, you are encouraged to contact the Information Compliance Manager in the first instance, to determine if they can resolve your concerns informally (see Where can I get further information? for contact details). You should state as fully as possible why you think your request was not dealt with in accordance with Data Protection Law, and the remedy which you are seeking from the School.
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the Information Compliance Manager's informal review of your request, you can ask the Information Commissioner for an assessment as to whether SOAS has processed your data in accordance with Data Protection Law. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the following address:
Information Commissioner
Cheshire SK9 5AF
Further information about how to enforce your rights under Data Protection Law is available on the Information Commissioner's website.
6. Can I re-use the data?
The copyright of any data which is supplied to you will be owned by SOAS unless otherwise indicated. The supply of information under Data Protection Law does not give the person who receives it an automatic right to re-use the information in a way which would infringe copyright, for example, by making multiple copies, publishing and issuing copies to the public.
Brief extracts of any material which is supplied to you may be reproduced under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (sections 29 and 30) for the purposes of research for non-commercial purposes, private study, criticism, review and news reporting. More extensive re-use must only be carried out with prior written permission from SOAS.
Enquiries about the re-use of material should be directed to SOAS's Information Compliance Manager (see Where can I get further information? for contact details).
7. What if I need a transcript or copy of my degree certificate?
If you are seeking a transcript of your academic results, or you need a copy of your SOAS degree certificate, you should not submit a subject access request.
Transcripts, degree letters and degree certificates are issued by SOAS Registry. Instructions on how to order are available on the SOAS website on this page: Exam transcripts. There are different requirements for students who graduated up to and including 1998, and from 1999 onwards.
8. What if I want feedback on my Masters dissertation/exam performance?
Students can exercise their rights under Data Protection Law to request access to their marks; to the comments by examiners on their dissertations and on their exam scripts; and any data about them in the papers of examination boards. You should submit a subject access request in the usual way (see How do I submit a request?). The identities of your examiners will not normally be released to you. Data Protection Law provides that, if your results have not been published when your request arrives, we will respond within 5 months of the date of receipt of your request or 40 days from the publication of the results (whichever is sooner).
However, SOAS students can also request informal feedback on their examination and dissertation performance without having to make a request under the law. Requests for informal feedback should be directed to the relevant Department. Questions about informal feedback should be directed to your Department or the SOAS Registry.
Students should note that the right of access to personal data does not provide a right of access to examination scripts.
9. Where can I get further information?
Further information about how SOAS aims to protect the rights of individuals under data protection law is provided in SOAS's Data Protection Policy. Enquiries relating to data protection at SOAS should be directed to SOAS's Information Compliance Manager, whose contact details are below:
Email: dataprotection@soas.ac.uk
Information about your rights under Data Protection Law and how to submit a subject access request is also available on the website of the Information Commissioner.

Q: Keep getting error while creating react app I have been trying to create a react app, so basically a new project such as hello world or anything.
I try using npx create-react-app my-app
The error I get is:
You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.0, which is behind the latest release (4.0.1).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

I try following those steps and even uninstalled using npm uninstall -g create-react-app but I still keep getting the same error.
My npm version: 6.14.8
This is such a basic process to create a first application in react I am not sure why is it so complicated. Could someone please tell how can I fix that error and also how can I create an react app smoothly?
If more information is needed please feel free to comment down below:)

A: npm install -g create-react-app

Above fixed it for me.

A: Worked for me:
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app app-name

A: I tried with this command. It worked

*

*npm install -g create-react-app

*npx create-react-app my-app

A: I had the same problem. So what I did is:
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm install create-react-app --save
npx create-react-app my-app

and it worked. The second line, I think, is to have create-react-app locally.

A: Dont worry ,it can be  fixed  by installing  create-react-app globally
run these  two lines  and  it  can be  fixed
npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app your-app

A: I solved it using the following command.
npm uninstall -g create-react-app

then
npm install -g create-react-app

Afterwards you should be good to go with npx create-react-app my-app :)

A: You need to use below command for creation of new project.
npx create-react-app applicationname

A: I put in the code npm uninstall -g create-react-app
and I get the below its not deleted anything
PS C:\Users\deann> npm uninstall -g create-react-app
up to date, audited 1 package in 435ms
found 0 vulnerabilities
then I put
PS C:\Users\deann> npm install create-react-app
npm WARN deprecated tar@2.2.2: This version of tar is no longer supported, and will not receive security updates. Please upgrade asap.
added 67 packages, and audited 68 packages in 4s
4 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details
3 high severity vulnerabilities

A: The two commands helped me when I came across with this issue.
npm uninstall -g create-react-app - this uninstalles the old version
npm install -g create-react-app - this installes the new version
then put the command
npx create-react-app name-of-folder

Proposed database would clarify scope of police suicides
by: Raquel Martin
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Last year, for the third straight year, suicides of police officers outnumbered deaths in the line of duty.
Bipartisan legislation before Congress would require the FBI to create a national, anonymous database of those deaths with the goal of identifying patterns and giving agencies new information to help officers before it's too late.
"We need to be there for these men and woman who put their lives on the line, who choose to wear blue," bill sponsor Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said. "They face trauma, they're in tough situations and then they don't have anywhere to go."
With 167 suicides by law enforcement officers nationwide in 2018, Hawley said it's now the leading cause of death of the group.
"What they need to know is what kind of problems to look for," fellow Missouri Republican Sen. Roy Blunt said. "This is a problem we have to solve. These are people who stand between us and danger."
Several of the country's largest law enforcement groups are backing the plan, saying it will help shed light on the trauma officers experience.
If passed, agencies would have the option to report data on officers' suicides but would not be required to do so. They would be asked to include locations, demographic information about the officer who died and what role the officer held.
"If we're going to bring in resources, we need to know the scope of the problem," Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., who is cosponsoring the bill, said. "Focus on mental health or behavioral health or whatever it is that we have an understanding of what's causing this."
The House has introduced an identical bill. Hawley said he hopes both chambers will pass the plan soon.

Abbingdon Music Research AM-77 Amplifier Review
Special Report: Chris Redmond on Abbingdon Music Research Part I: AM-77 dual-mono amplifier
By: Chris Redmond | August 2008
If you are given the opportunity to audition an SET amp in your own system, as ridiculous as it may sound, I'd speculate that for many it will be a decision similar to Alice's when offered a choice of two pills in Lewis Carol's classic tale Alice in Wonderland, or if you're more the Play-station generation, think of Neo from the almost equally classic sci-fi spectacular, The Matrix.
Taking the blue pill meant waking up safely in bed to carry on your life as normal, but taking the red pill meant….well, basically you are transported to Wonderland and your perception of the World is changed forever.
For me, even though I'd heard SET amplification previously in numerous systems and been impressed, it was only when reviewing the Audio Note Quest Silvers over an extended period of time in my own system that I realised there was no going back to conventional amplification, primarily but not exclusively when considering that all important midrange – not even the resident E.A.R 509 valve amps or the pure-Class A Sugden A21Se, which both put most typical solid-state amps to shame in the midrange with their delightful liquidity – could tempt me back up the rabbit-hole, and I knew I'd be mad as a Hatter not to make the change to SETs at the earliest opportunity (which equated to when funds allowed.)
There is a proviso here however, as the 8Wpc Quest Silvers were only able to fully demonstrate their magical qualities due to the high-efficiency of the resident Audio Note AN-E Spe/HE speakers which tend to be the preserve of your more enlightened enthusiast (!!) who has already forsaken more mainstream solid-state amplification in favour of SET or lower-powered Class A transistor amps.
I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of readers glued to this review will be using speakers around the 85 – 88dB sensitivity range, which probably encompasses 90% of the most opular high-end modern transducers.
The Revel Performa F30s in the living room on HT duties are 87dB for instance, and the recently acquired Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk2s are 86dB, so for the purpose of this review we'll assume these are a typical load and the Audio Note AN-Es with their additional 10dB sensitivity can have a back seat. What does muddy the water just a little in my own head when making comparisons is that the SET amp I now use is the Border Patrol WE300B, complete with an off-board power supply which lifts bass performance way above that of your average 8Wpc SET amp.
For now it's back to the pills.
If you haven't broken your cherry yet when it comes to valves, you'll still be aware that many audiophiles swear by valves for the warmth they add (or don't lose) in the midrange, and even if they don't use valve power amps they'll probably extol the virtuous marriage of a valve preamp to a solid-state power amp which can be an excellent introduction to the effect of having a 'bit of bottle' in circuit.
Valve output CD players are also quite popular nowadays (although many aren't true valve output) and these too are a 'toe in the water' for many who perhaps wish to tame a little of that forwardness or hardness endemic in many all solid-state audio systems, but both of these are safe options for the solid-state diehards because, of course, the main drawback of valves in the eyes of the masses is avoided, this being power – or rather, the lack of power.
Yes, we do have some valves amps from the likes of E.A.R, Audio Research, and B.A.T to name a few which have wattages into three figures, my E.A.R 509s being 100Wpc, but they don't come cheap and usually have a multitude of valves in order to attain their solid-state comparable power output; the 100Wpc Audio research D-115 Mk2 has a compliment of 17 valves for instance – fancy coughing up for a re-valve anyone?
Generally speaking, although straddling the two I've found that such amps – invariably push pull – have a presentation which is actually as close to solid-state as it is to SET, yet they can be superb amps in their own right and can directly replace a solid-state amplifier in a system using speakers similar to the aforementioned Revels and Dynaudios. There's every chance you'll have a very nice sounding system with this scenario……however, we're still in blue pill territory and while some of the delights of valves will be suggestively stroking your earlobes, the foreplay doesn't go any further as that seductive SET midrange is frustratingly absent whenever you load a CD and press PLAY.
Does it sound like there could be a gap in the market for an amp which has none of the power restrictions of SETs but gets closer to the midrange magic than push-pull?
AMR AM-77
Thorsten Loesch is the Technical Director of Abbingdon Music Research, and having already taken the red pill himself many years ago it possibly crossed his mind that there was indeed a market for such an amp.
The AMR AM-77 is something of a refinement of the popular valve preamp, transistor power amp combination only in a single chassis with two 5687/6900 (NOS) valves operating in pure class A in the first preamplification stage, allied to bipolar output devices in the power amp section which utilize a 1200 VA custom double C-core transformer. Power output is rated at 270 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and in line with your typical valve amp this wattage also holds true for a 4-ohm load. It should be noted that the figure of 270 watts is the IHF dynamic rating which is a standard international rating relating to the power an amp can put out for a short burst of 20ms.
Now, although this makes for a very impressive marketing blurb, AMR actually prefer the more relevant rating system of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as this measures the average output over a stated frequency range with both channels driven continuously, even though as a non-US-based Company AMR aren't required to give the FTC rating of their products.
They include the FTC rating in their literature for the benefit of their customers, so kudos to AMR and it does make meaningful comparisons to other FTC-rated equipment simple. The fact that the FTC rating for the AM-77 is still a hefty 180 watts per channel does mean that nobody should have any worries about a lack of 'oomph', but in the unlikely event there is a somebody out there with a power fetish there is the option of buying a second AM-77 and operating both in monoblock mode, which would give 320 watts into a 4- or 2-ohm load; such a fetishist would presumably then never leave the house and would live off pizzas posted through their letter box. (British English is truly elegant; the U.S.-equivalent of the last few words in the last sentence would read as "pizzas delivered to your mailbox." –Ed.)
I've already mentioned the monoblock option so as you'd expect the AM-77 can also operate as a stereo power amp as well as in the default PRE-MAIN AMPLIFIER MODE, otherwise known as 'integrated' to you and me, all selectable via a switch on the rear, so no need to remove the casing and mess around with jumpers or whatever.
The versatility of the AM-77 is in fact a major plus, opening it's use up to the ever-growing home theatre market on account of a HOME THEATRE DIRECT option, allowing an external processor to control volume, and no this isn't just a case of selecting the power amp option, as one of the "amps inputs" can have it's level fixed to account for the typical HT outputs of 0.775V (0dBu) or 1.55V (+6dBu).
Integrating HT into a high-end two-channel system is a problem many of us with no separate listening room have devoted a considerable amount of chin scratching to, and I decided some time ago that the compromises were too great so one had to retire to the bedroom. If I'd owned an AMR AM-77, there's every chance they'd have co-existed quite happily with the logical upgrade path of installing more AMR AM-77s when funds allowed an additional consideration.
Plenty of ways to configure the AMR AM-77, then, with almost endless permutations if you add more, but I'll restrict my impressions to its operation as an integrated, otherwise by the time I've finished my review the model I'm using could have been replaced by some "Mk2/3/4 Signature Special Edition" version, such is the dedication to improving AMR's line up even further.
In fact, anyone attending the 2008 CES may have come across a new debutant.
From AMR's website, "the AM-77 (Control Centre Edition) – an AM-77 with an Active Crossover to handle the high frequency signal and send the low frequency signal to a second standard AM-77 (or 2nd and 3rd standard AM-77 in Monoblock mode). The Control Center forms the heart of AMR's active system, which takes the listener one notch closer to the original source."
Even James Bond would have his work cut out preventing AMR's bid for World domination.
Out The Box
Following this review will be a write up of the AMR CD-77 which I've had for a couple of months now, and both the AM-77 and CD-77 share the same chassis designed around the classic "golden ratio" dimensions, which keeps manufacturing costs down and ensures a perfect aesthetic match. Because the CD player incorporates substantial power supplies and benefits from having plenty of room for air flow around the valves, the chassis had to be made larger than your average CD player's, ensuring that no compromises needed to be made in the amplifier's topology to squeeze everything in.
Indeed, AMR uses no heat sinks in the AM-77 to disperse heat and compare them to tuning forks due to their potential to impart resonances to the audio circuit. Both CD-77 and AM-77 use symmetrical dual mono layouts so the cooling vents either side of each window above – which also allow the internal blue LEDs to illuminate proceedings – are positioned correctly above the valves for amp and CDP.
Despite the heading 'out of the box', the AM-77 is actually shipped in a virtually bomb-proof, foam lined aluminium flight case (…which comes in a box) containing the following.
i. AM-77Reference Class Dual-Mono Pre-Main Amplifier.
ii. RC-77 Remote Commander (with 2 x AAA batteries).
iii. PC-77 OptiLink® Reference mains power cable.
iv. IC-77 OptiLink® Reference interconnect cable (XLR-type).
v. Synchronisation (3.5mm jack) cable (for linking-up multiple AM-77s).
vi. AM-77 Owner's Manual.
vii. Quick-Start Card.
viii. AMR Warranty Card.
ix. AMR Test Disk.
The RC-77 in particular deserves mention. Better engineered than many components (in the finish you've selected for your amp), it is motion sensitive so the touch screen illuminates when you pick it up displaying controls for the amp and CDP, whereas circular push buttons for functions which are used most frequently are positioned below the screen .
As with the CD-77, there are just five controls on the amps facia which comprise;
F1. STANDBY switch: to place the AM-77 in active or standby mode.
F2. SOURCE selection buttons: to select between the 5 different inputs (two of)
F3. VOLUME buttons: to adjust the volume level (two of).
A further two are situated on the right hand edge of the facia out of sight to keep things neat;
F4. iPod 3.5 Input Connector: for the connection of an iPod or similar portable music device.
F5. iPod USB charging connector: for re-charging an iPod or similar portable music device.
On the rear of the AM-77 we have:
* R1. SPADE/BANANA outputs: for connection of standard termination speaker cables.
* R2. SPEAKON outputs: for connection of Speakon terminated speaker cables.
* R3. HIFI/PRO switch: to allow for a source with transformer balanced output*.
* R4. INT/POWER Amp switch: to alternate between Pre-Main and Power Amplification settings*.
* R5. MODE switch: to alternate between Stereo/Monoblock/Bi-Amplification settings*.
* R6. INPUT 1: shared XLR and RCA input, for signal input of source equipment.
* R7. INPUTS 2-5: RCA inputs, for signal input of source equipment.
* R8. SYNC connectors: for connection of more than one AM-77*.
* R9. RS232 option connector: to facilitate future upgrades*.
* R10. Infra-Red Link: for connection of a wireline remote control.
* R11. IEC power connector: for the connection of a PC-77 mains power cable to the AM-77.
* R12. POWER Switch: to switch on mains electricity to the AM-77.
Amp and ancillaries out the box then, up it goes onto the newly installed Target Audio isolation shelf where it is duly spoiled rotten by being plugged into the PS Audio P600 power regenerator providing the purest 230 volts available. I might even have heard the AM-77 give a sigh of appreciation such as a lady would give when biting into the finest Belgian chocolate…
Powered Up And Ready To Go
After waiting for the facia displayed 45-second count down to "optimise supply voltage"', the reference Marantz CD-7 began feeding it a diet of not Belgian chocolate but the Telarc's Got More Blues – New Blues For 2000 13-track sampler (CD-83503).
Immediately apparent was that this wasn't a million miles away from the Border Patrol SET amp/Audio Note AN/E combination I was already acclimatised to – let's say something akin to going from two sugars in your coffee to one and a bit – although here I was using the Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk2s which are accepted to be even more 'power hungry' than their 86dB rating suggests.
I say not a million miles away, but this should be qualified by stating that in my opinion and experience, nothing can match the nimble dexterity, the dynamic capabilities and the overall 'live' quality of SETs allied to a compatible speaker. Bearing this in mind however, music played through the AMR-77 undeniably had some of that SET pixie-dust sprinkled over it, and I'd go so far as to suggest that AMR have succeeded in placing their amp somewhere between push-pull valve amplification and SET in terms of midrange naturalness, ambience and insight and all with just two valves in circuit,.
Resolution was top notch as you'd expect after reading the amp's specification, noting the component quality and the attention to detail of a company which really has made a definite statement of intent with the first designs put into production.
For the next hour, the Telarc disc demonstrated the amp's ability to reproduce and differentiate between the varying tonal qualities of guitars played by the likes of Terry Evans, Ronnie Earl, Robert Lockwood Jr and that old stalwart, Mighty Sam McClain, without me suffering any Border Patrol withdrawal symptoms at all. Yes, I preferred the BP – the red pill was more potent than a boat load of Viagra – but this was very nice indeed thank you very much, and being a power amp the Border Patrol was by necessity partnered with the Audio Note M3; add on the cost of the Kimber Select KS-1030 interconnects and this brought the cost up to around double the price of the AM-77.
Hmmm…….two AM-77s perhaps?
Bass lines where reproduced with excellent tonality once again, and although lacking the ultimate punch of comparatively powered transistor output amplification and the better push-pull designs such as my own EAR 509s, this was more than made up for by the integration of the bass and it's quality rather than quantity – not unlike SET amplification with high-sensitivity speakers, in fact.
Over the course of the next few weeks, that first impression of effortless musicality was reinforced, and significantly I found myself listening to as much music as I had previously with my own amp which is something I hadn't anticipated before the AM-77 arrived, if I'm honest.
Initially when requesting the amp be submitted for review, it was after delivery of the company's first product and hence more publicised CD-77 which, from a selfish point of view, I was extremely interested in as a potential upgrade for my own system, whereas the amp was something I was interested in purely as a review piece because it matched the CD-77 and was designed by the same guy who apparently shared my idea of what constituted good sound if the CD-77 was anything to go by.
Now however, I'd hazard a guess and suggest that had I heard the AM-77 before hearing the Audio Note Quest Silvers and later purchasing the Border Patrol, I may well have ended up buying the AMR even though as previously mentioned I'd heard SETs in systems other than my own quite a few times.
Out of interest I did connect the class A solid-state integrated Sugden A21SE up which had so impressed me when driving the AN/Es, but immediately the sound coarsened up ever so slightly although still sweet by typical SS standards and the 30Wpc Sugden definitely wasn't comfortable with the Contour Mk2s even though it had given quite a good account of itself when driving the Revel F30s at a similar 87dB sensitivity; see what I mean about the Dynaudios?
Reinstalling the AM-77 added the missing body, ambience and control the Sugden was almost able to replicate with the AN/Es, although not quite; still some feat for a £2,500 (in the UK) amp however.
In conclusion then, I take my hat off to Mr Thorsten Loesch and those who had the foresight and finances to back him when setting up AMR in a marketplace where consumers are now constantly urged by the big multi-nationals to invest in home theatre, 'newer' technologies and formats.
Delivering a blow for good ol' stereo and substance over hype, the AM-77 is one of the most versatile pieces of audio equipment I've come across and as such is a very safe, future proof investment which on it's own is capable of providing an owner with a taste of the high-end and a sip of single-ended triode magic, all at an affordable and positively bargain price when considering the quality of both the construction and performance on offer.
The options to reconfigure an existing AM-77, add one or even more AM-77s means anyone happy with the tonal character of his AM-77 has a predetermined upgrade path, something I personally believe to be crucial if some of the pitfalls of system development are to be avoided. AMR have certainly done their homework well and have landed on the manufacturing airport strip running, with a package to satisfy even the most discerning audiophile.
Thoroughly recommended then, but bearing in mind my own preference for a full system approach to audio, wouldn't it be interesting to hear the AM-77 with the company's own CD-77?
Tune in next issue for the second AMR review then and you'll find out, and furthermore I've just received a pair of speakers affectionately and aptly nick-named 'Baby Rhinos', otherwise known as the AMR LS-77s; that'll be AMR review number three then – no rest for the wicked eh?
Manufacturer's Comment:
Dear Dagogo,
We are very proud and honoured to be contributing to this multi-component review which is the first time we have had our equipment reviewed this way.
Your reviewer Chris Redmond, is one of only a handful of reviewers that in our humble opinion, truly understands what AMR is trying to achieve through its components. That is, to bring the musical enjoyment that Single Ended Triodes uniquely offer to the major market of medium-efficiency speakers.
At AMR, we hold the AM-77 in an even higher regard for what it has accomplished as a real-world amplifier than the CD-77 which we are already ecstatic about.
All we can say is a very hearty "thank you" for a most insightful review of the AM-77.

Crisis: Did NBC's Kidnapping Drama Grab You?
NBC's Crisis began unfolding this Sunday night — but can this new drama keep your attention captive?
Disclosure: I'm a sucker for anything Washington, DC.-related. In fact, that's what nudged me to finally cue up the pilot for a little show called Scandal a little over two years ago, famously sluggish as I am in getting around to midseason screeners. (Good call on checking that one out, Matt!) I mean, I will watch The American President each and every time I come across it on cable.
The crisis at the heart of NBC's newest Sunday night drama is the hijacking of a school bus carrying the high school-aged kids of D.C.'s elite — including the president's own son, Kyle; Amber, the daughter of corporate titan Meg Fitch (played by Gillian Anderson); and Beth Ann Gibson, one of two harder-scrabble teens who only got into the lofty Ballard High via scholarship. Equally deflating for Beth Ann is the fact that her horrifically coiffed father, Thomas (Dermot Mulroney), an apparently disgraced former CIA analyst, is among the trip's chaperones.
RELATED | Do You Believe In NBC's Supernatural Drama?
The first episode you saw tonight dealt by my count two-and-a-half to three twists: One, Beth Ann's dad isn't the complete dork she believes him to be; guy's got skills, but apparently landed on the wrong side of a CIA scandal back in the day. Two, Mr. Gibson, despite all appearances to the abducted kiddies, is the mastermind of this plan, and I guess was game to give up a pinkie for the cause. What we are to wonder, I assume, is if he has a sinister endgame or himself was leveraged into running this op (but ultimately plans to torpedo it).
And then at hour's end there was the Susie Dunn reveal — that she is more than just an "aunt" to kidnapped Amber Fitch, she is actually her mother, but had her sister Meg raise the kid for reasons TBA. And likely because of that, the sisters have been estranged, but now must try to work together toward a common good.
Next week, a parent besides Meg gets coerced into doing something sketchy; Finley sadly isn't exactly regarded a hero for his bravery there with Anton; and the kids start getting anxious about those seemingly getting preferential treatment.
What did you think of Crisis? Will you be tuning in again next week?

Dear Laurie, it was such a pleasure meeting you.
As promised, I wrote a poetic text dedicated to our leadership and art workshop following the exercise from yesterday. I would love to stay connected and thank you again!
We lead from the mind when the heart is the true guide.
We lead from the outside when our lifeline is inside.
We lead by accident instead of intent.
We lead from a place of fear instead of trust.
We lead from a place of judgment instead of compassion.
We lead from a place of control instead of faith.
True power comes when art and leadership blend as one.
True power comes when the self-exists with the ego in the background.
True power comes when others follow your path to greatness.
True power comes when others believe in the magic within themselves.
Some people walk in the room, and their soul speaks through their entire being.
Some people speak from the heart, and you connect without words.
Some people shine their energy onto you, so you too can transform mountains into beacons of hope, light, and peace.
Thank you Laurie for your presence, insights, and wisdom from the heart.
Thank you for teaching us leadership from the heart in fusion with art.
Thank you so much for meeting with the French delegation on October 31st! The delegates appreciated the discussion they had with you and they enjoyed your personality and passion for what you do!
Your hospitality and the valuable discussion made this a unique experience for them. They genuinely valued the time they got to spend with you.
I hope that there will be more opportunities for us to work together in the future, and I again want to thank you for your time. Support from professionals like yourself is what makes the work of WorldChicago possible. Your meeting no doubt enhanced the delegates' trip to Chicago.
When Thinkinc. conceptualized, named and helped design the architecture competition Disruptive Design: Reimagining Chicago in 2017 with the Chicago Housing Policy Task Force, we couldn't wait to see what kinds of affordable homes entrants would come submit.
I heard many great speakers while attending the September 2018 German Marshall Fund Transatlantic Leaders of Inclusion Summit in Paris.
Below is a lovely Facebook post from Andrei Zavalei, one of the young leaders from Belarus who attended my recent WorldChicago workshop on sharing power. I am deeply touched. Thank you, Andrei.
I want this world to be governed by women like Laurie Glenn.
I want women to have power, I want them to have real influence. I am sure, that this kind of world would be more inclusive, more transparent and less corrupted. This world will be definitely much more safer, prosperous and comfortable place for everyone, than it is now.
In August 2018, I (sixth from the left) joined other Chicago professionals including Windy City Times Publisher Tracy Baim (fourth from right) in working with a wonderful group of young leaders from Belarus through WorldChicago.
Laurie Glenn and Thinkinc. designed and moderated a communications and action planning session for 25 women entrepreneurs from throughout Africa sponsored by WorldChicago in July 2018.

I am Fernando Romero from Peru. You coached our team from the YLAI Professional Fellows program while we were in Chicago on October 2017.
Every bit of advice I received from you is part of my daily mantra of what to do with my organization and most important with myself.
I wanted to write to say thank you again for your guidance last year. You gave me the courage to focus a bit more on Life Engineer and working towards being financially sustainable and I feel like I'm now on a better track. Thank you!
Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia chooses Thinkinc.
Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, a charismatic, down-to-earth Chicago community organizer and officeholder chose Thinkinc. Strategy to handle his announcement for congressional election and his October 2018 decision to decline a run for Chicago mayor. Garcia relied on Thinkinc.'s longstanding ties with Chicago and national media as well as influential community leaders.
Thinkinc. generated news coverage and social media awareness of important research by Journey for Justice Alliance that indicts school districts across America.
The report, "Failing Brown v. Board," finds that "education in this country remains deeply separate and unequal," writes Jitu Brown, Director, Journey for Justice Alliance.
Laurie secured high-profile coverage in Wired for the Shared User Mobility Center's report on how ride-sharing companies such as Lyft and Uber affect public transit use.
Quotes from the SUMC's executive director reached an engaged audience of 30 million monthly viewers, including thought leaders and policy shapers.
When U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez announced his retirement from Congress and endorsed longtime ally Jesus "Chuy" Garcia for his spot, it was Laurie Glenn who made the news conference run smoothly.
Laurie coordinated between both camps to arrange the setting; led her team in writing Garcia's speech, as well as the event's media alert and news releases; and she arranged a Facebook Live stream of the announcement for maximum coverage. Then she got on the phone to make sure journalists had all the pre-event information they needed.
Laurie's experience and media savvy assured a newsworthy event that garnered significant national coverage.

Q: C# GridView - Combobox Column with nullable data I'm trying to create a RadGridView that is populated by a call to a WCF that return a query that includes some null values. I need for one of these values, an integer describing 'Roles', to be the only writeable field, accessed through a combobox column. I need to have the combobox display the same 4 choices in the dropdown, regardless if the value is not, but labeled with a string that is not apart of the query results.
All the other columns are read-only and could be automatically generated, but I want to apply some custom formatting based on the value of the 'Roles' field.
I'm making the WCF call and setting RadGridView.ItemSource to the result in the code-behind.
private void ExpandGet(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
{ GetContent(4, CurrentUser.Id); }

private void GetContent(int libType, int userId)
{
    Services.Libraries.Do(d1 => Dispatcher.ExecuteSync(
          () =>
          {
              var res = d1.EndGetRole(d1.BeginGetRole(userId, libType, null, null));
              return res;
          },
      init: () => WaitContent1.IsBusy = true,
      result: res =>
      {
          Content1.ItemsSource = res;
      },
      finalize: ok1 => WaitContent1.IsBusy = false));
}

I tried creating a separate list for the Roles column to use for its DisplayMember Path, and add that to the Autogenerated DataGrid, but it doesn't add anything and returns a blank grid.
public class RIdName
    {
        public int RId { get; set; }
        public string RName { get; set; }
    }

    public List<IdName> RItemsSource;

    public void SetGridUp()
    {

        RItemsSource.Add(new IdName {RId = -1, RName = "None"});
        RItemsSource.Add(new IdName {RId = 0, RName = "User"});
        RItemsSource.Add(new IdName {RId = 1, RName = "Contributer"});
        RItemsSource.Add(new IdName {RId = 2, RName = "Manager"});

        GridViewComboBoxColumn column = new GridViewComboBoxColumn();
        column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("Role");
        column.DisplayMemberPath = "Rname";
        column.Header = "My Column";
        column.UniqueName = "MyColumn";
        column.ItemsSource = RItemsSource;
        Content1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
        Content1.Columns.Add(column);
    }

I also tried to do it through XAML andchange the DisplayMemberPath from there, but since the strings that I need to display are not in the original query and ItemSource I have nothing to set it to. In the table I get the integer values but no choices at all in the dropdown.
<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="Content1"
     ItemsSource="{Binding}"
     AutoGenerateColumns="False"
     CanUserDeleteRows="False"
     CanUserInsertRows="False">
 <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding LibraryName}"     UniqueName="Name" />
   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Per}" UniqueName="Per" />
   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding By}" UniqueName="By" />
   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding On}" UniqueName="On" IsReadOnly="True" />
   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Role} DisplayMemberBinding="IdName" UniqueName="Role" />
 </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

Finally, I need to use this Grid with the same query but for different content type in about 15 different grids on the page. I would ideally like to create a template of some kind and reuse it.
What approach should I take to deal with this combobox column? I tried using a converter (which calls a WCF service) but I just got back the integers and no dropdown selections. I need the column to show the actually values, and I want to be able to define the dropdown choices somewhere in the code-behind.

A: You're close with trying to do it through XAML, it's something I do often.  What you need to do is bind it to a property in the ViewModel using the ItemsSource property of the GridViewComboBoxItem.  To do that, you'll need to set a reference to the ViewModel as a StaticResource.
<UserControl.Resources>
    <local:MainPageViewModel x:Key="mainPageViewModel" />
</UserControl.Resources>
...
<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn Header="Role"
        DataMemberBinding="{Binding RID}"
        ItemsSource="{Binding Path=RItemSource, Source={StaticResource mainPageViewModel}}"
        DisplayMemberPath="RName"
        SelectedValueMemberPath="RID" />

L'USS Kearsarge est un sloop de guerre, notamment connu pour avoir coulé le CSS Alabama, navire du célèbre corsaire confédéré Raphael Semmes, durant le combat naval à Cherbourg en 1864 lors de la guerre de Sécession.

Il est construit en 1861 et sert dans l'Union Navy, avant de servir dans l'US Navy après la fin de la guerre de Sécession.

Le peintre Édouard Manet a représenté ce bateau dans un tableau, Le Combat du Kearsarge et de l'Alabama en 1864.

Last week I started 4 jars of naturally fermented dill pickles. They're made with a salt brine, not with vinegar and no heat processing. The pickles naturally ferment over time. I'll report back on their progress. This was a first for me so I'm not sure whether they'll succeed or spoil.
Today I made 5 jars of pickled zucchini, summer squash, and red onion. They're refrigerator pickles and keep for about a month. The recipe is unusual---it uses a lot of cumin, ginger, garlic, and dill. The brine is honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water. I've used the recipe before with carrots but not with summer squash. The carrots were delicious. We'll see whether the squash works!

Dominion Day
philipyip	Uncategorized	 July 1, 2019 3 Minutes
Canadians have a national holiday today called Dominion Day (renamed as Canada Day). But what is the symbolism behind this day and why might you see the Canadian Red Ensign on this Day?
On the 1st of July 1867 the Dominion of Canada was formed by uniting the four provinces Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In essence this was the formation of the first country to obtain legislative independence from the United Kingdom whilst remaining the United Kingdom's best friend within the British Empire. This process to Dominion Status was carried out peacefully with mutual respect and affinity between Canada and the United Kingdom and because of the desire to maintain strong ties between the two nations it laid down the seeds to something beautiful, the formation of the Commonwealth of Nations.
For more information about this Commemorative tablet see below:
History, Arts and Architecture: Dominion of Canada
The political map of the Dominion of Canada looked like the following:
On this Commemorative table there is the Royal Union Flag and the first Canadian Red Ensign.
Expansion of the Dominion of Canada and the History Behind the Red Ensign
The Royal Union Flag is the land flag of the United Kingdom and the Red Ensign is the Merchant Naval Flag.
The first Canadian Red Ensign was created 1 year after the Dominion of Canada was formed, it has a Coat of Arms depicting the four original provinces:
The Canadian Red Ensign represented a flag that represented both Canadian National Identity and a feeling of kinship to her family across the Commonwealth.
In 1870 the Dominion of Canada expanded to include Mantioba:
An unofficial Canadian Red Ensign was created with the badge updated to correspond to the additional province:
Mantioba
In 1873, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island join the Dominion of Canada:
An unofficial Canada Red Ensign gets created with the badge updated to correspond to these two additional provinces:
In 1880 the Arctic Islands were transferred from the United Kingdom to the Dominion of Canada:
In 1896, another unofficial Canadian Red Ensign was updated to reflect the updated Coat of Arms of British Columbia:
In 1898 the territory of Yukon is created from the NorthWest Territories as other provinces enlarge.
In 1905, the two provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are formed:
In 1912, there is further expansion of the provinces into Northwest Territories:
Due to the complications of the Canadian Red Ensign and the number of unofficial variants, it got updated in 1921 to he following:
This Red Ensign contains the following:
Royal Arms of England
The Royal Banner of Scotland
The Irish Harp
Maple Leafs (green)
The Canadian Coat of Arms was also created:
A Mari Usque Ad Mare.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
There was also a proposed Canadian Red Ensign in 1946 which made the Maple Leaf more prominent:
In 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador, previously a separate Dominion joined the Dominion of Canada:
The Red Ensign of the Dominion of New Foundland:
In 1957, the Canadian Red Ensign was updated slightly to give Red Maple Leafs:
The Coat of Arms was also updated:
Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam.
They desire a better Country.
In 1964 there was a televised debate (video below) lead by the Liberal Government to change the Canadian Flag. This was an extremely contentious policy at the time:
There were 2 main designs being considered, the Pearson Pennant and the Maple Leaf:
In 1965, the Maple Leaf was selected as the National Flag and this was pushed through without a referendum.
As a form of backlash, the provinces of Ontario and Mantioba immediately adopted Red Ensigns as Provincial Flags:
In 1992 the territory of Nunavut was created from the remainder of the Northwest Territories giving the current political map of Canada.
In modern times, there is a desire to maintain and strengthen the close ties between Canada and the United Kingdom and to establish freedom of movement between both countries. This is highlighted in the objectives of the CANZUK treaty proposed by the Canadian Conservative Party.
