StateImpact Feature: Jeb Bush Talks Education
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By Sarah Gonzalez
Published November 19, 2012 at 5:16 PM EST
Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have signed on to implement new school curriculum and standardized tests.
It's called Common Core, and it'll replace Florida's FCAT.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is a big supporter of Common Core - and has been pushing this and other reform efforts around the country.
Education reporter Sarah Gonzalez with our StateImpact Florida team sat down with the conservative education advocate to talk about his national agenda.
Sarah: Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, thanks for joining me.
Jeb: Yes, delighted to be here.
Sarah: You are known as the "Education Governor," you were a big proponent of standardized testing when you were the governor, the FCAT, but now its being replaced by Common Core in 2014. What do you think about that?
Jeb: Well firs of all the FCAT, the dreaded FCAT that gives all children acne and makes then nauseous during the testing period, it will be replaced with a new test that will measure competency based on new standards. So the common core state standards are higher, they're fewer, they require more critical thinking skills and they will unfortunately at the beginning , they will probably show that close to two-thirds of our students are not college or career ready.
Sarah: We at StateImpact Florida are doing a series on remedial classes. We crunched the numbers and it turns out that of the students in Florida who graduated from high school recently, 54% of the students who took the college placement test had to take at least one remedial class. So they were not ready for college? Do you think that the goal of the FCAT was to determine whether or not students were college ready? Or just to determine whether or not students were ready to graduate from high school?
Jeb: Um, it's really a gateway to graduate from high school, not to be college ready, as evidenced by the fact that gosh 12% or 13% of students don't graduate because they can't pass a 10th grade level test, or worse yet aas you said 50% of our stduents need remedial work to be able to take a college course, which is why the Common Core standards I think are a better indicator of that.
Sarah: I'm wondering where does faith in Common Core come from? Because it hasn't really been field tested anywhere and proven to work anywhere, so where does your support come from?
Jeb: Right. Because I've talked to a lot of people who are experts in the field of standards and what kids need to learn in the 21st Century to be successful. And what they say is that the greatest country in the face of the earth measures itself to lower standards than what the best is in the world. So I would argue that we should embark on this journey.
Sarah: Now you have advocated for education reform in Florida and outside of Florida and I'm wondering in light of the recent election, I know that some of the education reforms that you were pushing like in Indiana and Idaho didn't pass like pay for performance, requiring online classes, things like that. Do you consider it a setback to your education agenda?
Jeb: Eh. Well it's not my education agenda it's the education agenda of the Indiana governor, the Indiana state school office, the Indiana legislature, the Indiana business community that Tony Bennett didn't get elected. In Idaho, my gosh, Florida requires one online course in order to graduate from high school. No big deal in my mind. But in Idaho that became a controversial thing, give me a break.
The unions are very good at defending their turf and that's exactly what happened in South Dakota and Idaho. That doesn't mean the fight stops, you know, the fight will continue. In Washington state there was a passage of a charter school law. Washington state was, I think, one of eight states that didn't have a charter school law. In Georgia, they passed a constitutional amendment to allow for a statewide authorizer for charter schools. to kind of force more innovation at the local level.
So it was a mixed night, for sure.
And at the national level we have an interesting dynamic. Education is one of the few places where you have left/right coalitions that are for reform and left/right coalitions that are against reform. Its not as monolithic as some other areas of policy so I don't think much changes with the Presidents re-election. In fact think this is the one area where there is enough common ground to build on it.

Q: Not getting frequency values in webaudio-api I am using this spectrogram.js from github to plot spectrogram and obtain frequency values in real-time.
Github Repo
I have written this extra stopSong function:
function stopSong() {
 var analyser = audioContext.createAnalyser();
 var ctx = new AudioContext();
  var osc = ctx.createOscillator();
  osc.connect(ctx.destination);
  osc.start(0);

spectro.stop();
 var freqData= new Uint8Array(analyser.frequencyBinCount);
 analyser.getByteFrequencyData(freqData);
 //var f = Math.round(freqData[1]);
 //  var text = f + ' Hz';
  var idx = 0;
                for (var j=0; j < analyser.frequencyBinCount; j++) {
                    if (freqData[j] > freqData[idx]) {
                        idx = j;
                    }
                }
   var frequency = idx * ctx.sampleRate / analyser.fftSize;
                console.log(frequency);

  //document.getElementById("frec").innerHTML = text;

             }

But everytime i am running it it give 0 as output. Can anybody tell whats wrong with my code.

A: You need to connect the oscillator to the analyser:
oscillator.connect(analyser);
Also you might want to call getByteFrequencyData multiple times, maybe in requestAnimationFrame, or something like setTimeout.

Q: CSV error when loading file into 2D array I have a CSV file and my assignment involves taking that file and loading it into a 2D array. I've counted how many rows there and how man columns there are but, when I go to load it into the array I get the error

"non-static variable filetable cannot be referenced from a static
  context"

But when if I do this public static String[][] filetable = new String[rows][cols];
I get the error

Illegal reference forward Usage of static non-final variable during
  intialization

Code:
public String[][] filetable = new String[rows][cols];//The second error doesn't show up here since I haven't put 'static' after public.
public static int rows = 0;
public static int cols = 0;

 public static void to_Array(File example)
{

 try
    {
         FileReader file = new FileReader(example);
         Scanner sc = new Scanner(file);

         if(sc.hasNextLine())
         {
             String[] tokens = sc.nextLine().split(",");
             cols = tokens.length;
             rows++;
         }

         while(sc.hasNextLine())
         {
             rows++;
             sc.nextLine();
         }

         //Probably not the right way to load the file into the array, but will fix it later
         for(int r = 0; r < rows; r++)
         {
             for(int c = 0; c < cols; c++)
             {
                 filetable[r][c] = sc.next();// This where the first error shows up
             }
         }

    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        System.out.println(e);
    }

A: public static void  method

if the method is static you can reference to the local variable only if they are also static
public SomeClass {
  private static String var1;
  private String var2;

  public void someMethod(){
     this.var2 // is allowed
     this.var1 // is allowed
   }

   public static void someMethod(){
     this.var2 // is allowed
     this.var1 // is not allowed
   }

}

i suggest that you create a method in the class than in the main() method create a new instance of the class than call the method
 SomeClass test = new SomeClass():
  test.someMethod()// copy the code of the main to this method

CA-TPX provides support for Secured Signon using Pass Tickets. The use of Pass Tickets eliminates the transmission of passwords across network facilities in clear text.
A pass ticket is a one-time only password substitute that is automatically generated by an authentication server, such as CA's Single Signon Option or IBM's Network Security Program or on behalf of a client workstation requesting access to a mainframe application, such as TPX.
Once a user is signed on to TPX, Pass Tickets may also be generated for applications subsequently accessed through TPX.
NOTE: This document is specific to ACF2. For instructions specific to Top Secret or RACF, please refer to the links at the end of this document.
The implementation of Pass Ticket support requires customization within both TPX and the security system.
Write rules for FASTAUTH calls for CLASS=PTKTDATA, ATTR=UPDATE, and ENTITYX='PTKTGEN.applid.userid'.
Then create PTKTDATA profile records.
See ACF2 Administration Guide for full details. Current versions of the documentation can be obtained from CA ACF2 for z/OS product page.
Within TPX, there are two separate aspects of Pass Ticket support: Users and Applications. You can implement one or the other or both depending upon your site requirements.
You can specify pass ticket and/or qualified pass ticket for users and applications. When both are specified, CA TPX attempts to use the most secure form of pass ticket available based on the settings in CA TPX and the Pass Ticket Profile, if any, as defined in the external security system.
This parameter does not impact the actual sign on to TPX. TPX accepts the userid and password then makes a security call for validation. TPX is unaware of whether the password field contains a password or pass ticket at this point.
If the user is passed to another TPX by the Affinity feature, a pass ticket is generated for the TPX that the user is passed to.
If a signoff command (/F) occurs, it is converted to a logoff. This includes those produced by a timeout.
Timeouts that would lock the terminal are converted to logoffs.
The user must supply a lock word when locking the terminal.
The application must be defined in CA TPX with session data that contains &PSWD or a startup ACL that keys in &PSWD to ensure secured signon using Pass Ticket.
Set ' Generate Pass Ticket: Y ' in the ACT (Application Characteristics Table), or Profile Session Options, or User Session Options.
To use qualified pass tickets, set ' Gen Qualified Pass Ticket: Y ' in the ACT, or Profile Session Options, or User Session Options.
This pass ticket profile name will be supplied to the external security system instead of userid during Pass Ticket generation.
When Prof name is NOT specified (field left blank), TPX issues the pass ticket request with the USERID & APPLID.
When Prof name is specified, TPX issues the pass ticket request with the USERID & Prof name.
You can use security traces to verify whether or not your application requires a 'Pass Ticket Prof name' to be defined.
Run a SECTRACE against the TPX address space (using TPX jobname) to verify the generation of a pass ticket in ACF2.
Repeat the test with a second SECTRACE against the application to verify what entity the application is sending to ACF2 for validation.
If it is not the VTAM APPLID, define this entity in the TPX ACT 'Pass Ticket Prof name' field so that TPX requests the pass ticket for this value instead of the APPLID.
It is important to not run each SECTRACE at the same time so that the trace data remains specific to either TPX or the application.
Also ensure the entity identified in the trace on the application (the one that you are specifying in 'Pass Ticket Prof name') is defined within ACF2 PTKTDATA.
'Pass Ticket Prof name' is usually required for TSO and VM systems, where this parameter will have the value "TSOsmfid" or "VMcpuid".
associated with the viewing server, when issuing the RACROUTE verification at user logon time.
The viewing server name is specified on the execute statement in the server JCL.
This will be considered for correct passticket generation for Abend-aid.
A logon to the OMEGAMON Classic will work today using Passtickets.
Make sure that the PTKTDATA Profile is set up for the 'CANDLE' application.
That is because the exit, KOMRACFX, uses 'CANDLE' as the application name on the RACROUTE calls.
have a valid PTKTDATA profile set up for the CUA applid.
However, problems arise when the CUA attempts an internal logon to the Classic applid.
That fails because it attempts to re-use the same passticket on that internal logon.
The same passticket can not be reused with a different application.
That defines 'CANDLE' as the application being used. Change the 'CANDLE' to be your CUA Applid.
Then the internal Classic logon will use the same application, and will be able to reuse the Passticket.
2. In order to be able to 're-use' the passticket, you need to specify 'MULT-USE' on the PTKTDATA resource.
That allows the same passticket to be reused for up to 10 minutes.
There may be other applications that may require a non-standard RACROUTE verification, other than the application name.
This should be determined in conjunction with that application vendor and your security administrator.
SMRT Option 030 - This option will cause users defined as Pass Ticket Users to return to the CA TPX logo if a signoff command is entered or generated. Pass Ticket users normally would not see the CA TPX logo because all signoffs are normally converted to logoffs. If a user returns to the CA TPX logo then subsequently signs on with their real password, the signon will not be secured using the Pass Ticket technique.
SMRT Option 031 - This option will display "Pass Ticket" on the CA TPX menu in the location where "Check Messages" might appear (the W3 variable), if a user is defined as a Pass Ticket User. The "Check Messages"indication temporarily overrides the "Pass Ticket" indication. This option will cause the letters "PTIX" or the words "Pass Ticket" to appear on the menu in the "Status" column, for any application defined as a "Pass Ticket Application". These are the UENTWSTS and UENTWSTL variables, respectively. Other status indicator will temporarily override the Pass Ticket indication.
RsvOpt 041 - When using pass ticket instead of password/phrase to access applications, set RsvOpt 41 to Y to ensure the user-id has been validated through the external security manager (Top Secret/ACF2/RACF) to gain access to TPX. This will handle the case where certain user-ids are set to SECURITY=NONE and should not have a pass ticket generated for them to access an application.
RsvOpt 042 - (Optional) Set RsvOpt 042 to Y if you need pass ticket generation messages in the TPX log for audit or other site requirements (TPXL0920, TPXL0921, TPXL0922, TPXL0923). These messages are useful during implementation and testing of pass tickets.
To ensure that all changes have been implemented, cycle TPX or use TPXOPER RELOAD for each change.
When using pass tickets with GRS (generic resource), it is crucial that the system clock on each LPAR is in sync. A PassTicket is considered to be within the valid time range when the time of generation, with respect to the clock on the generating computer, is within plus or minus 10 minutes of the time of evaluation, with respect to the clock on the evaluating computer.
For additional information, please refer to the CA TPX Programming Guide - Special Features and Customization Tasks, section Pass Ticket Feature. Please note the section: Operational Difference for Pass Ticket Users.

Planning ahead in business avoids unnecessary stress and can save your company a lot of money. Budgeting is more than just figuring out how much money you have to spend on your business operations and marketing, it is an opportunity to figure out how, when and why you are spending the money. If you base your budget on a good plan, you will benefit significantly in efficiency and cost savings. It is not just about the money, budgeting is about planning ahead.
One of the greatest stresses in life in general and business in particular is when we have to do things at the last minute. By taking advantage of the budget development process, you can organize your broader schedule for an entire year and plan your activities far in advance. If you have trade shows to attend or major client meetings that are held on a regular basis, you can set up your travel and hotel plans ahead of time. If you have vendor contracts that renew, the budgeting process gives you an opportunity to schedule the negotiations well ahead of time. Having the major events planned out ahead of time relieves stress among employees.
Often, when we wait to the last minute on vendor contracts or travel planning we end up doing exactly what we did the previous year; we don't have time to explore better options. By using the budget time to plan ahead, we give ourselves time to explore options, and come up with better ways. During the course of the year it is not uncommon to hear employees lament about how the system is slow, or doesn't do something they need. Yet, those same systems get renewed each year simply because we run out of time to explore options. Plan ahead, and you can leave plenty of time to find the best solution, not just renew the old one.
Most suppliers provide discounts when we purchase larger quantities of their products. They can produce them more cheaply with large runs and shipping per unit is much less when shipped in bulk. They would gladly discount the price if we can order supplies in bulk. The budgeting process is a great time to plan for this and make those purchases. Whether your company attends trade shows and hands out custom usb and other promo items, or just needs to ensure your pen supply doesn't run out, you can take advantage of bulk purchasing.
The best way to plan for bulk purchasing is to accumulate all your invoices from different suppliers for the past year. If you have multiple suppliers for a single type of item, then you will have even better negotiating power by bringing all the volume to a single supplier. They will appreciate the additional business, plus they will really like taking business from their competition. This will be great leverage for your negotiation.
In many companies the budgeting season is dreaded. But if managers and employees approach the process with the right mindset, they can help lower their own stress through the year by planning ahead and taking care of things early. If they are responsible for purchasing items, they can make themselves look good by purchasing in bulk and saving money because they planned ahead.

Q: Cannot use custom element in React and Angular I created a custom element in React using reactToWebComponent.  In a simple HTML file, I use it as follows
<body>
    <custom-tag></custom-tag>
    <script src="http://localhost:3000/static/js/bundle.js"></script>
</body>

Everything is working fine and it displays the component from <custom-tag>.
However, when I use it in another React app, I got an error saying
Property 'custom-tag' does not exist on type 'JSX.IntrinsicElements'.

So I resort to doing the following and it works
React.createElement('custom-tag', {...props})

When I use it in an Angular app, I got an error saying
'custom-tag' is not a known element

How to properly use a custom element in Angular?  For React, is there another way that I don't need to use React.createElement instead use the tag <custom-tag> directly?

A: After researching, I was able to do it as follows:
For react, we need to add this code inside react-app-env.d.ts
declare namespace JSX {
    interface IntrinsicElements {
        "custom-tag": {
            prop1: string;
            prop2: string;
            ...
        };
    }
}

For angular, we need to update app.module.ts and add the custom element schema:
import { NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core'
@NgModule({
    ...
    schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
    ...
})

Then for both react and angular app, we can simply use it as <custom-tag prop1="val1" ...></custom-tag>


The Technology Transfer project employs a spiral development process to enhance the functionality and autonomy of mobile systems in the Joint Robotics Program (JRP) Robotic Systems Pool (RSP). The approach is to harvest prior and on-going developments that address the technology needs identified by emergent in-theatre requirements and users of the RSP. The component technologies are evaluated on a transition platform to identify the best features of the different approaches, which are then integrated and optimized to work in harmony in a complete solution. The result is an enabling mechanism that continuously capitalizes on state-of-the-art results from the research environment to create a standardized solution that can be easily transitioned to ongoing development programs. This paper focuses on particular research areas, specifically collision avoidance, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and target-following, and describes the results of their combined integration and optimization over the past 12 months.


Water damage is one of those things we brush off as an unlikely possibility until it happens to us. And when it does happen, those unprepared lose precious time and end up with more damage than homeowners who had an emergency plan. Whether it's a burst pipe, a leaking water heater or a full-on flood from the nearby stream, you should be prepared to deal with water damage.
Water and electricity are not exactly the safest combo. If your basement floods, know which circuit breaker to flip to cut off power to the area. Don't go in the water if you know there are submerged electrical outlets and appliances in the room.
If it's torrential flooding, there is nothing you can do but wait. However, if it's a pipe or an appliance that caused the flooding, find and turn the shut-off valve to stop the water. If you don't know where the water shut-off is located, call a plumber that has worked on your house before.
Before doing anything inside the flooded area, make sure you are wearing proper protective gear. This includes rubber boots, rubber gloves and a respirator. Keep your children and pets away from coming in contact with the water, as it could be contaminated with sewage.
If there is a significant amount of water on the floor, call your local Baltimore water restoration professionals. Don't delay, as every minute counts and you have better chances for saving your items if you act fast. If you have a shop vac or a water pump, use them to start removing the water.
Water damage may be covered by either your homeowner's insurance or your flood insurance, depending on the source of the problem and your specific coverage. Be sure to take plenty of photos before you start cleanup. These photos will support your insurance claim later on.
If your washing machine is not located in the flooded area, collect all the washables and run them on a hot cycle.
Collect items that are beyond repair, but don't throw them away yet, as the claim adjuster might have to take a look.
If the carpet was affected by flood water, it likely has to be discarded. Removing it from tack strips to dry will cause it to shrink, and leaving it won't lead to complete drying.
Once the water restoration team arrives, we will use our professional water extraction equipment to remove the remaining water, dry your furniture and prevent mold. Write down our number (410-870-6607) and keep it on your fridge, so that you won't waste time looking up reliable water damage restoration companies in Maryland.

Bartlesville Strategic Planning Update - 'Building a better future'
In August of 2012, the City of Bartlesville and the Bartlesville Area Chamber of Commerce joined forces to update the 2006 Strategic Plan that was developed with the assistance of Austin, Texas-based Angelou Economics. The 2006 plan outlined a variety of strategic initiatives to help Bartlesville become a "Globally Competitive Community."
In August of 2012, the City of Bartlesville and the Bartlesville Area Chamber of Commerce joined forces to update the 2006 Strategic Plan that was developed with the assistance of Austin, Texas-based Angelou Economics. The 2006 plan outlined a variety of strategic initiatives to help Bartlesville become a �Globally Competitive Community.�
The backdrop in 2006 was an ever-changing business development dynamic that was shifting from the need to recruit businesses to a new paradigm. That paradigm suggested that to attract world-class businesses to Bartlesville, we needed a community that attracted the workforce � the people � who would create value within these companies. Bartlesville could better compete for global businesses by being a community that excelled at education, political environment, business climate, housing, health care, sports, recreation, business sites, and name brand marketing to name a few.
Most notable of the accomplishments from this effort included the expansion of Rogers State University�s presence in Bartlesville and the development of a Tax Increment Financing District to help provide housing developers with incentives to expand local housing. While many other small objectives were achieved, area leadership turnover, local politics and a national decline in the business climate helped add to our inability to accomplish all of our goals.
In September of 2012, we once again formed a steering committee comprised of a diverse group of community leaders including members from large and small business, education, healthcare, non-profit and civic leadership backgrounds. The main focus was on making Bartlesville a better place to live and a better place to do business.
Angelou Economics would again be asked to support and began their work in October of 2012. Through data research, on-line surveys and both group and one-on-one interviews, they interacted with more than 1,400 community residents. Applying both best practices and their extensive experience, Angelou produced a list of strategic priorities that was rolled out to the community in March of 2013.
Among the findings shared: In the last 10 years, Bartlesville has experienced around 20 percent in job growth, but has only seen a 2 percent growth in residents. The roll-out included a list of priority projects including revitalizing the downtown, increased development of parks and recreation, and the importance of investing in the facilities of the Bartlesville Public Schools.
Under the heading of �Quality of Life,� Angelou listed the need for additional high-quality housing, the development of an Arts District downtown, a renewed emphasis on �Parks and Recreation� and a more unified approach to civic engagement. Finally, they steered us towards the development of targeted retail and restaurant incentives, creating a more business-friendly governmental interface, an improved access to business support, the need to develop a new marketing/branding campaign, and the need to bring a common theme to the downtown district.
The steering committee then developed a host of sub-committees to further develop specific plans related to these various recommendations. The Education Subcommittee was chaired by Kelly Diven (CEO, Truity Credit Union) and brought the business community to the table in helping ensure the recent passage of the Bruin School Bond. The Quality of Life Subcommittee, Chaired by Dr Everett Piper (president, OKWU), has been working tirelessly on the various aspects of housing, parks, recreation, and entertainment. This group also supported the recent passage of the City of Bartlesville�s half-cent sales tax, which will help address several items on the work list. Finally, a third sub-committee, Chaired by Mike Bailey (City of Bartlesville CFO), was formed to evaluate the retail pieces of the Angelou report.
This past week, the recommendations of the Retail Subcommittee were presented to the City Council at its regular Monday evening business meeting. The recommendations included giving the task of retail recruitment and branding to the Bartlesville Development Corporation and its president David Wood. An outline was described that allows the City Council to consider various levels of support in recruitment based on what the new business would �add� to the community in economic viability.
BDC utilizes a similar framework to recruit companies and already has structure and funding in place that could extend this process. The City Council also approved the recommendations relative to business climate and regulations improvement including adoption of more modern code review, an electronic and streamlined permit process, and on-line licensing and permitting that is offered in other cities such as Boston, partially achievable as they upgrade to new systems. The Chamber was also asked to assist in providing businesses with communication and networking opportunities including the development of �group� marketing efforts and the development of �Lifestyle Centers.� A final area of interest included educational programs designed to train potential employees with �soft� skills of customer service and basic work ethics.
The Strategic Planning Committee has been busy and still has many projects to complete. The next �large� recommendations to come out of our efforts will be those related to Quality of Life described above. We appreciate the more than 300 participants on the various subcommittees who have dedicated time and resources to make Bartlesville an even better place to live and a better place to do business. By working together the opportunities for our community are endless.
David Stire serves as chairman of the Bartlesville Strategic Plan Steering Committee. He is the CEO of Jane Phillips Medical Center.

A speech by The Queen at Heathrow airport's Terminal Five, 2008
I am sure that many millions of travellers will have reason to be appreciative of the thought and care that has gone into the design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of this significant new terminal.
I am delighted to be here at Heathrow today, to join these special celebrations and formally to declare Terminal Five ready for business.
Looking around this bright and airy space with its clean, efficient layout, I am sure that many millions of travellers will have reason to be appreciative of the thought and care that has gone into the design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of this significant new terminal. It provides an encouraging illustration of what can be achieved through working in partnership, and it says a good deal about how the essential considerations of passenger comfort, effective security, and quality of service, can be combined with the ever more important requirement of environmental responsibility.
My warmest congratulations go to everyone who has worked on this highly impressive building; it embodies many achievements, of which you can all be rightly proud.
So today, it gives me great pleasure to open Terminal Five - this twenty-first century gateway to Britain - and, for us, to the wider world.

Havas is een een Nederlandse handbalclub uit Almere. Havas is opgericht op 5 juli 1982.

Geschiedenis

Handbal in Almere
Door de polderen van het Zuiderzee en de komst van de provincie Flevoland zijn door een aantal enthousiaste pioniers die de handbalsport mee genomen naar hun nieuwe woonplaats (Almere). Bij de oprichting van Havas, werden de velden AS'80 gebruikt. Aangezien Havas toen nog geen eigen kantine en kleedkamers  had, werd er gebruik gemaakt van de faciliteiten van de voetballers. Ook de clubkleuren van Havas, het geel/blauw zijn geïnspireerd door de shirts van AS'80.

Promotie naar de eredivisie
Het eerste herenteam van Havas promoveerde in 2019 naar de eredivisie. Dit kwam tot stand dat het tweede team van Quintus gedwongen moest degraderen doordat het eerste team Quintus uit de BENE-League degradeerde. Al in het eerste seizoen in de eredivisie eindigde Havas op de laatste plaats in de reguliere competitie en zou in de degradatiepoule moeten spelen tegen de periodewinnaars van de eerste divisie. Door de coronacrisis in Nederland is het seizoen 2019/20 afgelast door het NHV en was Havas verzekerd voor een extra jaar eredivisie. Ook het seizoen 2020/21 werd vroegtijdig stilgelegd door een tweede golf van het coronavirus.

G-sport binnen Havas
Havas is een van de oudste handbalvereniging van Nederland wat een G-handbal afdeling heeft binnen de vereniging. G-handbal is voor mensen met een Verstandelijke beperking.

Paul Ryan's decision to wait until January to retire includes an under-the-radar benefit
House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Wednesday that he would retire at the end of his term.
Ryan would receive significantly more from his pension by waiting until January to retire.
In addition to preserving consistency in GOP leadership through the midterm elections, House Speaker Paul Ryan's decision to wait until the end of the term in January to retire could significantly affect his retirement benefits.
Members of Congress elected after 1984 are enrolled in the Federal Employees Retirement System, which includes a basic monthly annuity, or pension, based on years of service and salary as a member. Representatives elected before 2003 have the option to decline the FERS enrollment, so it's possible that Ryan, who has been a congressman since 1999, could have turned down these benefits.
Ryan, 48, would be able to draw his pension at age 50, since his time as a representative and as a staffer would combine to be roughly 24 years of federal service.
If Ryan did enroll in FERS, the timing of his retirement could affect his benefits. If Ryan retires in January, he will have been speaker for just over three years – he took over for John Boehner on October 29, 2015 – and the annual payment to a retired member is determined in part by calculating the three highest-paying consecutive years of their career.
In Ryan's case, retiring after October means he would have earned the speaker's salary of $US223,500 for three consecutive years. If he were to retire immediately, however, his average would be reduced, as some of the so-called high-three salaries would include the $US174,000 annual salary made as a representative.
Based on the FERS payments formula, Ryan could receive an annual pension payment of $US84,930 if he remains on the job until January. But if Ryan were to retire earlier, he would receive less, because some of the non-speaker's pay would be factored in.
Of course, Ryan could also have other retirement savings from his time in the private sector or from the congressional Thrift Savings Plan, which functions like a 401(k).

How do we do government differently? Listen to conversations with leaders who break the mold — from anti-corruption advocates to social justice champions, and public servants who fight for transparency, inclusion, participation, and accountability in government. Join host Stephanie Bluma as she shares insights on what governments and civil society from different regions of the world can learn from each other — and how we can renew our societies.
This podcast is a production of Open Government Partnership and Hueman Group Media.

A Mission to Record and Remember Victims of Gender-Based-Violence
Gender-based violence and femicide are serious global problems, but they are especially acute in Latin America. The region is home to 14 of the 25 countries with the highest rates of femicide in the world, according to the United Nations. Yet, official government data on gender-based violence and femicide is often absent or incomplete.
Today's guest is gender activist and researcher Helena Suárez Val. She created a publicly available database that compiles lethal gender-related violence cases in Uruguay . In our conversation, Helena takes us back to Latin America's history of women's activism and shares what led her to create her own database. We also discuss the role of the state on gender-based violence and why data is important to change public perception and policy.

A Lawyer's Journey to Unmask Anonymous Companies
Transparency about beneficial ownership prevents companies from operating in secrecy. Yet, most countries don't require the disclosure of beneficial owners.
Today's guest is Andrej Leontiev, Managing Partner of Taylor Wessing in the Slovak Republic, and one of the main leaders of this movement.
You can learn more about Andrej's work and other initiatives his law firm is working on here.
From Civil Servant to Global Advocate
The right to access information is a critical component of open government and democracy. Citizens armed with information can participate in decision-making. And they can make governments more efficient and accountable.
Aruna Roy has dedicated her entire life to ensuring citizens are empowered by public information. She is the founder of a non-party political organization that mobilizes collective action in order to secure the rights of the rural poor called MKSS.
In today's episode Aruna tells us how she contributed to passing the Right to Information Act in India and why her fight isn't over.
From Uncovering Corruption to Facing Conviction: One Journalist's Story
Civic space is the underpinning for open government, allowing people to - among other things - speak freely and advocate for change without fear of government reprisal or violence. Yet, it is eroding globally. According to CIVICUS–a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening civil society–only 3.1 percent of the world's population now live in countries with open civic space.
Investigative journalist Khadija Ismayilova has spent her career shedding light on corrupt practices in her home country of Azerbaijan. In this episode, Khadija shares how her reporting on government corruption led to blackmail, intrusive surveillance, and unjust imprisonment. We also learn about what we can do to create a space for journalists to hold power to account without fear of retaliation.

We Believe in Victory, We Plan for the Future of Ukraine
When Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, the country was leading many promising open government reforms to fight corruption and give citizens a voice. Civil society reformers are meeting with government leaders to defend democratic values and plan for the country's post-war future. Today's guest is one of those reformers.
Viktor Nestulia is the Head of Eastern Europe and Central Asia at the Open Contracting Partnership, an organization that ensures public contracts are open, fair and efficient. In this episode Viktor talks about the democratic history of Ukraine, how the war has impacted his family and community. And importantly, about need for open government values to lead the country's reconstruction.
Democracy in Afghanistan: Past, Present, and Future
In October 2021, I traveled to Skopje, North Macedonia to meet with open government reformers who had managed to escape Afghanistan just a few months earlier.
Today, we speak with Erfan Erzaz, one of the activists who have now resettled in Canada. We speak about the reasons why Afghanistan's democracy fell and look back to the country's history to provide context. On the show, we also discuss the contributions of open government work and the lessons we can all learn from Afghanistan's democratic efforts.

Snapchat isn't just about keeping up with the Kardashians.
Neither is it limited to sharing silly/cute/spontaneous selfies with friends, or stories of chocolate margaritas.
Snapchat is more than all of that.
In fact, if you use it strategically, it can be a powerful tool for marketing your brand.
But before you start marketing on Snapchat, you first need to know everything you can about the app.
Because you need to know who's on Snapchat, how users behave, and what a successful Snapchat marketing campaign looks like. (Also, being a know-it-all is fun!)
Want to know some lesser-known facts about Snapchat?
Read on! (Hint: 1-15 are great for marketers.)
What Is Snapchat?
Snapchat is an app that allows you to share photos and videos with others online.
But unlike Facebook and Instagram, your content isn't stored permanently.
Once it's viewed, it disappears and becomes irretrievable.
Creating an account on Snapchat is easy. Simply download the app on Google Play or the App Store. Install it on your device, and you're ready!
The Snapchat app is available for download on Google Play.
With Snapchat, you get to enjoy a wide range of features. You can use Discover to get the latest news.
You can add a fun filter to your selfies. There are also stickers, drawing tools, and emojis you can use to personalize everything you send or post.
Let's dive in!

Here's a chart from Statista showing Snapchat's growth from 2014 to 2019.
Impressive!
With more than 210 million active users, Snapchat is a huge marketing opportunity for you.
2. 73% of U.S. Snapchat Users Are 18-24 Years Old
Wired reports that it's teen love that's the life and breath of Snapchat.
Look at this chart from Pew Research to see who's using the app most.
The majority of those on Snapchat are Gen Z users, according to the chart.
As a marketer, you can take a hint on what your campaign should focus on if you use Snapchat. As Snapchat's own report puts it:
"From its inception, Snapchat has inherently created a frictionless space where gen Z creatives can experiment with their identities, yet not have to feel like they're "on brand" in communicating to their close friend groups. "A lot of the product philosophy around ephemerality is grounded by this notion that you can be whoever you want to be today, without a record of who you were yesterday," says
Amy Moussavi, global head of consumer insights at Snapchat."
3. In the U.S., 90% of all 13-24 Year Olds Use Snapchat
Teens describe Snapchat as a way to speak without using words. It's the easiest way to get in touch with friends. And it's "really cool" because "everyone uses it."
It's no wonder that 90% of teens and young adults in the United States use Snapchat!
4. 63% of Snapchat Users Go on the App Every Day
Of this 63%, 49% go on Snapchat more than once a day.
5. Taco Bell Paid $75,000 for 24 Hours of the Taco Filter/Ad
To boost sales, Taco Bell launched the taco filter on Snapchat. Here's what it looked like.
Today only: turn yourself into a taco using our @Snapchat lens. Because Cinco de Mayo. pic.twitter.com/P4KwLdFNFZ
— Taco Bell (@tacobell) May 5, 2016
The filter is humorous, relevant, and unique.
Users adored it, and it got 224 million views.
Taco Bell paid $75,000 for the ad.
A good investment for the exposure it got.
6. 61% of Snapchat Users Are Female
Females are naturally attracted to visuals, color, creativity, and connection. All of which Snapchat gives.
If you're a marketer, this speaks loads on how you should manufacture your Snapchat campaigns.
7. 4 in 10 Snapchat Users Say They Discovered a New Brand Through Posts and Celebrity Endorsements
Influencer marketing is a promising way to market a business today. And what better place to do it than on Snapchat?
With 4 in 10 Snapchatters responding to new brands endorsed by celebrities, vloggers, and expert bloggers, Snapchat is a place you can find a hugely receptive audience for your brand.
8. Snapchat Pioneered Vertical Video Ads
Vertical video ads are ads that can be viewed with your phone held vertically.
Maybe you've watched a number of vertical video ads already, but did you know Snapchat pioneered them?
Their idea made watching ads convenient.
9. You Can Follow Rock Star Business Experts on Snapchat
Who knew Snapchat could be a powerful business tool?
Here are the top 3 experts you should follow right now.
10. Snapchat Co-Created a Cool Geo-Filter with Netflix
For its release of 4 new episodes of "The Gilmore Girls", Netflix printed 10,000 cups with a special Snapchat code.
These cups were distributed to 200 coffee shops. When scanned, the code brought up this cool filter.

11. Snapchat's Swipe-Up Rate is 5x Higher than Normal Social Media Click-Through Rates
When you encounter an ad on Snapchat, you can swipe up to view a website or watch more of the ad.
Because Snapchat's swipe up rate is that high, it's a promising platform for marketing.
12. Snapchat Is the King of Ephemeral Content Marketing
Ephemeral content marketing uses video, photos, and media that are only accessible for a limited time.
Here are three reasons it works:
It creates a sense of urgency.
It appeals to buyers who don't want to feel "sold."
It's more personalized than traditional sales funnel marketing.
Guess who's one of the kings of ephemeral content marketing?
That's right. Snapchat.
13. Video Ads on Snapchat Create Twice as Much Purchase Intent Than Other Ad Formats
Snapchat video ads beat Facebook ads by 8%!
14. 60% of Snap Ads Are Played with Audio (Compared to 15% for Facebook!)
What's the point of creating stellar audio for your ads if no one will listen to it?
With Snapchat, the time and effort you spend perfecting your ad's audio won't go to waste.
15. Snapchat Users Spend an Average of 25-30 Minutes a Day on Snapchat
The average human only has time for 5-7 apps.
That being so, it's pretty impressive that people can spend up to 30 minutes on Snapchat every day!
16. Snapchat's Original Name Was Picaboo
In fact, Snapchat did run as Picaboo for about a year.
17. Snapchat Was Created After 34 Failures
Snapchat creators Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Frank Reginald Brown worked on the Snapchat project while they were studying at Stanford University.
After 34 failures, they finally came up with the app as we know it today.
18. Snapchat's Creators Had a Major Falling-Out Before the App Was Released
Frank Reginald Brown was ousted from the Snapchat project by his friends.
Although no one knows the real story, Brown claims Spiegel and Murphy changed the server passwords and ceased communication with him a month before Snapchat was launched.
19. Snapchat Downloads Doubled After the Launch of the Toddler & Gender Swap Filters
Users downloaded Snapchat 41.5 million times in a month after the release of these filters!
20. Mark Zuckerberg Tried to Buy Snapchat
Snapchat's owners refused to sell Snapchat to Zuckerberg (even though the offer went as high as $3 billion!).
21. Snapchat's Mascot Is Called Ghostface Chillah
You can buy a plush Ghostface Chilla for $17.99.
22. Facebook & Instagram Borrowed Ephemeral Content from Snapchat
Facebook and Instagram stories? The idea was from Snapchat.
23. 2.1 Million Snaps Are Sent per Minute
Snaps allow users to be in the moment. They're spontaneous, creative, and beautifully temporal. No wonder users send so many of them per minute!
24. Snapchat Is Valued at $23.5 Billion
Its shares rose by 200% in 2019!
25. 93% of Snapchat Users Have Sent a Photo of a Drink
In fact, drinks are among the most popular photos on Snapchat!
Snapchat for Everyone
Snapchat promises users that they can be who they are today no matter who they were yesterday.
Its ephemeral content, intimacy, and spontaneity are strong points for everyday users and business people alike.

2019 NBA Draft: Pistons pick Sekou Doumbouya needs to address anti-gay tweet from 2015
Young kids say dumb things, but they still have to take ownership of their actions
By Sean Corp Jun 20, 2019, 9:51pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2019 NBA Draft: Pistons pick Sekou Doumbouya needs to address anti-gay tweet from 2015
Photo by Mike Lawrie/Getty Images
Sekou Doumbouya, drafted 15th overall by the Detroit Pistons, was the youngest player in the 2019 NBA Draft. But the 18-year-old should be forced to answer for a comment he made when he was just 14 years old.
As reported by Outsports, Doumbouya was one of many potential draft picks with a social media history of using anti-gay and homophobic language.
As detailed by Outsports:
According to one LGBTQ French-speaking athlete, Draft prospect Sekou Doumbouya went all in by telling a follower to "unfollow me you little f**got." This tweet has been deleted by Doumbouya in the last few weeks since he hired an agent:
While he deleted that tweet, he has not publicly condemned it or distanced himself from it in any way that we know.
So, yes, 14-year-olds say insanely dumb things. I certainly did. And I don't know Sekou Doumbouya, and I know of no other evidence in the past four years that he has anything against gay people or has a pattern of this kind of language.
But he should take ownership of it. Nobody is looking for punishment, and nobody is even looking to shame. Certainly not Cyd Zeigler at Ou tsports and not me. It's about having a dialogue, acknowledging the dumb things people say, why they hurt people, and why even when talking about four-year-old tweets from the early teen years, it's worse to pretend these kinds of things don't exist or wish them away from our past.
Talking, as it turns out, is usually a pretty good idea.
Especially considering Doumbouya will be joining a team in the Detroit Pistons who so recently had one of the strongest LGBTQ advocates on its team in Reggie Bullock. Bullock became a champion of the community in honor of his transgender sister, Mia Henderson, who was slain five years ago in Baltimore.
Rembert Browne captured Bullock's story and advocacy brilliantly just under one year ago for The Ringer.
Doumbouya should to be asked about his previous comments, and hopefully he can show Pistons fans the kind of man he is now by explaining how different he is than his 14-year-old self (14-year-olds are universally the worst, I think).
A dumb kid said something dumb. Now, he's still young with a lot to learn as a member of the NBA. And an entire fan base and a city that wants to see him do amazing things on and off the court.
I'm not a part of cancel culture, and I'm not even really particularly fired up about discovering this youthful indiscretion. But I also can't simply ignore an issue people take seriously and sincerely just because it bums me out or because I found out about it at an inconvenient time. And my theory is the old-school premise that sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Problems don't go away when they're ignored. Things get better when they are acknowledged, talked about and understood. And people feel heard and valued. So the best we can do in light of this information is talk.
This post has been updated throughout.
The only thing that matters this season is the development of Jaden Ivey

The first birthday at P4T school
testing news 3
Bienvenue Byamungu
Co-Founder & Executive Director
Bienvenue survived deadly bloodshed and violations of human rights when rival tribes attacked the village where Bienvenue lived in 1995 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). DRC is reported as the worst place to be a woman or a child. A place where rape is used a "weapon of war," and children are soldiers. To Bienvenue who witnessed this kind of human right violation, the 2011 United Nations report that 1,000 women are raped daily is an underestimation. The source of his passion for women empowerment that he now practices in P4T is unpleasant to remember. He was separated from his parents and he suffered bloodshed before reaching Uganda. More than six million of Bienvenue's friends and natives have been killed in his home area; he was among the few survivors to reach the refugee camp in Uganda. After living in Uganda for 10 years, Bienvenue Byamungu started P4T in 2007 when he was only 17 years old. Today, P4T has supported over 340 youth and women in handwork, built a Nursery and primary school that provides quality education to over 305 underprivileged refugee Orphans and vulnerable children, constructed latrines to over 35 refugees living with disability. Bienvenue is passionate about community development and gender equality and he is currently pursuing a diploma in Development studies at Gulu University.
Ameny Daniel
Co-Founder & Programs Director
Daniel comes from Orientale Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He grew up in a highly political environment since his father was an influential political activist. He did not bury his father who was kidnapped by armed men in plain clothes in 1996 when he was just 10 years old. After repeated attacks at his home by armed soldiers who were demanding for his elder brother (who had disappeared earlier); Daniel fled from his home with his younger brother and sister to Uganda, an uncertain journey which lasted for about three months, leaving their mother behind. Daniel and his siblings reunited with their elder sister who was married to a Ugandan Army in Northern Uganda and they suffered more violence by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). In 2001, Daniel got registered as a refugee in Kyangwali Refugee Settlement where he joined a team that founded P4T. This was after realising that the refugee communities had suffered in poverty and dependence on support agencies for 10 complete years, without any hope of returning home. They started P4T to create a home away from home for refugees. Daniel holds a Bachelor of Statistics Degree from Makerere University and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Health from Nkumba University. He is currently a part-time lecturer at the Department of Applied Sciences in Nkumba University and a Statistics Consultant with Datasoft Consultancy. "Anyone in any community can drive positive change regardless of their social or economic status, all they need is that empowerment to make them believe in themselves that they can"

Johnam Kambasu
Co-Founder & Finance Director
I am Kambasu Johnam, a Ugandan male age 5th Feb 1987. I was born in Kasese district located in Western Uganda bordering Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the East. I am a graduate of Bachelor of Business Administration majoring in Accounting from Nkumba University in Uganda. I started work as an accountant at Lake Victoria View Guest House after finishing my course in August 2012. I later joined Steel and Tube Industries Ltd in 2014 as an accountant. In 2015 I joined Datasoft Consultancy as a research assistant and accountant. At the same time I was volunteering with P4T as a Finance and Administrative officer. I was appointed Finance Director for P4T in 2016. I was introduced to P4T by Mr. Khalid who I met while studying at Nkumba University. He introduced himself as a refugee from DRC on sponsorship at the University. When he narrated his story to me I was very touched and we became good friends and then he told me they have a community based organization (C.B.O) helping refugees in Kyangwali Refugee Settlement and I told him I wanted to help. I was inspired to join Planning for Tomorrow Youth Organization (P4T) because I was picked from Kasese by my uncle at a very tender age to live with him in Kampala where I have studied since 1998. At the time I left Kasese I had witnessed over 5 incidences of war from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) a rebel group in Uganda and DRC. I witnessed the death of people including my relatives at a very tender age and those memories will never get out of my head. Because of this experience I was inspired to join P4T in order to help the refugees and build the tomorrow we all desire.

After weeks of speculation, Jeff Monson will be Fedor Emelianenko's upcoming opponent. Fedor vs. Monson will take place November 12 in Russia. If November 12 sounds familiar that is because the first UFC on Fox will "coincidentally" be taking place on the same date.
Monson broke the news via his Twitter account and announced the fight.
Nothing has been officially announced from M1 Global as far as exact location or broadcast information. M1 Global's Vadim Finkelstein has said in the past that the fight would take place in Russia. My hunch is that the fight will air live on the Internet. I can't imagine anyone else airing the fight live with so much going on in the combat sports world that night.
The date is a rather curious choice for such a big event. Not only does the UFC on Fox Junior Dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez fight take place on November 12, but so does Manny Pacquiao's next boxing fight. If M1 were hoping that nobody would watch Fedor's next fight, well they couldn't have picked a better day.
Most assumed that Fedor's next fight would air on Showtime. However, Showtime will be broadcasting Manny Pacquiao's fight on pay per view. I couldn't imagine Showtime airing a live Fedor fight on free television the same time as one of its biggest pay per view events of the year. That tells me something happened between M1 and Showtime and either the relationship is over or not what we expected.
Monson isn't exactly Dan Henderson or even Kevin Randleman but it could have been worse. Quite frankly I have no problem with Fedor taking an opponent like Monson coming off of three losses. It makes sense. I just don't want to hear M1 start bragging about Fedor being the best heavyweight in the world if he wins and yes, I said if.
Monson isn't exactly what I'd call dangerous. Yet, I wouldn't call him a pushover. He is 40 years old and has a 54 fight record. Monson's most recent fight was a loss to Daniel Cormier in Strikeforce. However, Monson ran off eight straight wins before the Cormier fight. Not that any of those guys were top fighters, but they were eight wins nonetheless. This isn't as big of a "give me" for Fedor as I would have expected.
I also think it is fair to point out the potential problems Monson could have with getting a visa to fight in Russia. Monson is a known anarchist and does have a criminal record. If someone wants to make waves (and it isn't as if M1 hasn't made their enemies), they could make it very tough for Monson to get into Russia. I hope this was given consideration in making the fight.
Thanks to BloodyElbow.com for the tip!
