How do I sync existing appointments in Appointment+ to my google calendar?
I have x number of existing appointments made either in backend by Admin or by clients via the website.
We've just setup the Google Calendar sync but it didn't create the existing bookings in my google calendar when I tried to sync it. The test link for future bookings works fine.
How can I get Google Calendar to sync existing Appointments+ bookings?
I'm sure this should sync up even if the appointments were made before you created the GCal API.
Can you try making a new appointment to confirm this is added to your Google calendar.
If it is this should then populate all your existing appointments.
However this is only normally used for synchronising your Google Calendar with A+ not the other way round.
I won't be around over the weekend but will pick up Monday.
Hello there @FoxyRoo, I hope you're well today!
Thanks, I've followed the instructions on the video to a T but it's still not pulling in the existing bookings.
I've attached a screen grab of the configuration and just for security reasons replaced part of the unique codes with XXXX. Rest assured, I double double check those codes and they are correctly copied over from the API keys etc.
Would it be possible to provide a screenshot of all the settings in your A+ 'Google Calendar' tab.
If you are using a Primary calendar or have you set up a secondary calendar?
How many Service Providers you have created?
Attached above is A+ Google Calendar tab - I just have some of the user id's commented out in the picture.
The site configuration is slightly complex in that we are running a multisite to allow a primary and dummy provider in each region that services are supplied (franchisee operation). Each multisite as its own A+ configuration in the form of a Provider and Dummy (total of 2 providers for each site). At this stage we are only using the primary calendar configuration.
However the A+ 'Google calendar' tab wasn't attached and would appreciate if you could try again.
Also wanted to check when you state you are using the 'Primary calendar configuration'.
Do you mean you have configured in the A+ 'Google calendar' tab the details of your 'Primary Google calendar'.
If so then it is advised not to use the Primary Google calendar as it doesn't always sync and it is recommended to create a secondary Google calendar.
However if you do this then then any appointments set up in the Primary Google calendar will not be sync'd with A+.
I have the same issue here. test connection is displaying the "dummy" appointment in my google calendar, but the appointments created through the plugin on the website (confirmed appointments) are not showing up on the google calendar.
login in as the service provider and syncing the calendar, but still no change. if i make an appointment via google calendar, it is showing up in the reserved by gcal tab @ admin.
When you make an appointment in the A+ front end are you selecting a 'Service' and 'Service Provider' from the dropdown fields?
When the appointment is made is it correctly blocking out the scheduler?
Is it correctly recording the appointment in the A+ backend in the A+ 'active appointments' tab?
Hi SteveB, thx for the quick reply.
3. yes once they are confirmed by me.
Having checked your settings it would appear you have 1 x 'Service Provider' and 2 x 'Services'.
just changed the settings for capacity to 0.
here is the screenshot from the user profile.
I've checked the settings and I would suggest they are fine.
On the left it should indicate the developers email address, xxxxxxxxx@developer.gserviceaccount.com, you have entered in the A+ 'Service email account address' field in the 'Service Provider' Wordpress profile and these should match.
Then try making an appointment in the front end of A+ and see if it is populated in your Google calendar.
thanks for the great help. A+ is now working and placing the appointments in the google calendar. i followed a the last steps you posted. thanks again.
I have another issue you could maybe help me with, if thats ok for you? can i send you a pm?
I'm really pleased A+ is now working for you and I could be of assistance.
I'm not sure you can send a PM on this forum.
think the new topic is a good idea, maybe someone else is having the same issue.
here is the new topic.
Many thanks for the points, much appreciated.

The National Hockey Association (December 2, 1909- December 11, 1918) was a professional ice hockey organization with teams in Ontario and Quebec, Canada.
At the time of the league's founding in 1910, the Eastern Canada Hockey Association which dated from 1906 and was itself the successor of the first recognized major hockey league, the Amateur Hockey Association, was in the midst of a political battle.
That season would prove the NHA's last, as in a power play to oust unpopular Toronto owner Eddie Livingstone, the remaining clubs met in November of 1917 to form the National Hockey League, using the exact constitution and playing rules of the NHA.
The NEA was founded by Robert Campbell as the National Teachers Association in 1850, and changed to its present name in 1857.
The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest labor union in the United States, representing most of the country's teachers along with other school personnel.
NEA opposition to some of the education reforms of Republican administrations have also led to conflict.
The National Office in conjunction with the National Executive Board is empowered to work our further rules and regulations needed in governing and operating Chapters.
Chapters elect their own officers, operate semi-autonomously, and are required to follow the National Constitution and Bylaws and the National Fiscal Standards.
The National Executive Board reserves the right to suspend officers of local Chapters and appoint new officers on an interim basis when deemed necessary.

It may be chilly outside and the weather doesn't look too inviting but inside, the weather couldn't be better for some good ol' fort making. Did you know this isn't just an activity that potentially destroys your living room feng shui. There are substantial benefits for breaking out the blankets and pillows.
The problem solving, creative thinking and cooperation required to build forts embody the basics of engineering.
Fort building gives kids hours of entertainment. Sometimes you buy your kids a toy thinking they'll play with it for hours, but they discard it after ten minutes. You won't experience that with for building.
Your kids might even discover a new career path. Building forts can teach the basic ideas of architecture, engineering, geometry, and design, and the enjoyment of this process can give your child an idea of what he or she wants to be in the future.
Kids learn cooperation. If two or more kids build a fort together but don't actually "work together," the fort probably won't stand for long. Building a sturdy and functioning fort requires cooperation between the builders, and this skill will be needed their whole lives.
What's not to love? Once they've not only completed the fort but cleaned up as well, be sure to give them their own Fort Maker Brag Badge.

Back in the 80s, my mom kept an aloe plant on the kitchen windowsill. When she burned herself on the stove, she'd lop off part of an aloe leaf, rip it open, and use the cool gelatinous innards as a soothing balm.
What could be better? A decorative houseplant providing medical assistance. Intrigued, I explored other uses for aloe.
When winter rolled around and my skin was dry, I slit open a leaf and rubbed it all over my hands and face. It felt great. Later at school, people were staring at me—but as soon as I made eye contact they'd turn away. My face was yellow. Not a cool lemon-chiffon yellow or a majestic gold, but a sickly jaundiced ochre, the hepatic tint of liver failure.
The first rule of aloe: there's some sticky, yellow liquid inside the plant. Separate that from the clear gel, at least if you're going to spread it on your face in a non-Halloween capacity.
Or, buy your aloe. Not as fun as raising it from childhood, but you'll avoid the cirrhosis-of-the-face look.
Aloe works almost exactly the same as hair gel, but there's no sticky residue the next day and, because there's no alcohol, your scalp doesn't get dry. In fact, your scalp is moisturized with every use. More bang for your buck.
Caveat: aloe doesn't provide x-treme hold, but this isn't 1977 and you're not going to a Stranglers show with a 20" mohawk, so it doesn't matter.
Aloe is great for the skin. It can soothe burns, help repair a sunburned back, or be used as a daily moisturizer. Aloe can relieve red, flaky or itching patches. If you apply it to cuts and scratches, they'll heal more quickly and scarring will be alleviated.
I once flew from Japan to Ohio for a job interview. Terrible idea, I know. Sadly, I got the job. I devoutly believe in packing light, so my grooming kit was basically a stick of deodorant and a bottle of aloe. After moisturizing, styling, and realizing I should have brought a razor, I noticed my black brogues. They looked like I'd walked all the way from Japan. I wasn't sure it would work, but I squirted a glob of aloe on each shoe and buffed away. After a few minutes they were as good as new.
It works on leather, pleather and most synthetic materials. I've used aloe to gussy up belts, couches, jackets, bicycle seats, a Casio keyboard, plastic toys and hundreds of other objects.
Yes, you can drink it. But not the stuff they sell for sunburns. Go to a pharmacy or health food store and buy the potable variety. It helps with acid reflux, heartburn, digestion and overall health. I'm sure you can find unsubstantiated studies to prove that aloe cures erectile unpleasantness, whooping cough and slightly-sore elbow syndrome, but who knows. What I do know is that a few swigs of drinking aloe have fixed my stomach many times. The guy at GNC wearing a homemade caftan of chia seeds and dandelion leaves will try to sell you on apple cider vinegar but, from my experience, aloe works and tastes a whole lot better.

Can you slow the rate at which you age?
People do age at different rates – so how can you slow your own ageing?
'Chronic inflammation' is internal inflammation that builds up in body tissue as we get older and damages that tissue – whether in the heart, brain or other organs. It is now recognised as an underlying cause of ageing and almost all age related diseases – like heart disease, diabetes, dementia and some cancers.
Health scientists call this 'inflamm-ageing'. They confirm we need to reduce the inflammatory elements in your diet – especially Omega 6 oils (including the corn oils and sunflower oils in so many processed foods) and refined starches and sugars. And to increase the anti-inflammatory elements – notably fruits and vegetables and Omega 3 oils.
The anti-inflammatory effect of fruits and vegetables is largely why the US Cancer Society has been recommending NINE portions of fruits and vegetables a day! If that's a stretch, a nutritional supplement that contains a high level of anti-inflammatory nutrients is a logical choice.
Intriguing new research from the University of California indicates that anti-inflammatory nutrients can affect telomere length. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of our chromosomes whose role is to prevent the loss of genetic information during cell division.
But every time that a cell divides, telomeres get shorter. When the telomere is finally gone, the cell dies. So the hypothesis is that if we could slow the shortening of telomeres we could slow ageing.
'Immunosenescence' is the term given to age related, gradual deterioration of the immune system's white blood cells. As this happens, we are more open to infection and cancer. Which is why flu can be so devastating to the elderly.
Exercise and sleep boost immunity – as do nutrients like carotenoids, B vitamins, vitamins C, D3 and E, zinc and selenium. Lesser-known yeast-derived nutrients called 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans can significantly boost immune function and should therefore have a real influence on ageing and longevity.
Check out the research and anti-inflammatory supplement at www.nutrishield.com and also the research behind 1-3,1-6 beta glucans at www.immunoshield.com.

Food Fortification in a Changing Environment
Over the last century, food fortification has been one of the great public health successes in nutrition, dramatically reducing the risk for diseases like pellagra, rickets, and goiter. But as Dr. Christine Taylor discussed, there has been a gradual paradigm shift in how we think about fortification. These changes were discussed in the session: "Fortification and Health: Opportunities and Challenges", sponsored by ILSI North America on Saturday, April 26 at Experimental Biology in San Diego. The session was chaired by Dr. Johanna Dwyer and Kathryn Wiemer.
EDIT: See videos of this session here.
The session began with Dr. David Allison giving a touching tribute to the late Dr. John Milner, who was originally a chair of the session. It was noted that Milner was a promoter of public-private relationships, and "in the spirit of John Milner" was a frequent phrase. His impact on nutrition science and many of the speakers was clearly boundless. Read more about his prolific career here.
The first speaker was Dr. Janet King, who discussed where fortification has been successful and where there are limitations. She first emphasized the distinction between mandatory fortification/enrichment, where specific nutrients are added for a specific health program (by the US definition), versus discretionary fortification which is done at the choice of a food manufacturer. Iodine to salt, vitamin D to dairy products, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and iron to flour, fluoride to water, and folic acid to grains are a few that have reduced incidence of disease and the proportion of the population that consumes less than the estimated average requirements, as Fulgoni and colleagues (2011) have shown. Dr. King highlighted some limitations in fortification: programs used to be based on insufficient diet intakes rather than health/clinical problems; in the US, staple foods vary; many people are increasingly avoiding milk and dairy, and physiological bioavailability is often unknown in tissues. For example, increasing zinc by supplementation increases plasma zinc concentration but increasing it by food does not, according to one study.
In the 1970's and 80's, there was a shift in thinking as fortification as more of a "balancing act," according to Dr. Christine Taylor. The National Academy of Sciences recommended iron fortification, but there were strong objections because of toxicity concerns, and thereafter the FDA conclude that fortification must be based on clinical measures rather than dietary intake. Determining whether to fortify grains with folate in the 1990s exemplifies the complex issues that must be considered. For instance, animal data suggested that folate can exacerbate vitamin B12 deficiency, and fortification would increase folate intake to a greater extent in those who already had a high-intake in a simulation study. A key theme throughout the program was that the reliance on dietary intake can be problematic. This message was really driven home by Dr. Taylor, who emphasized that intake data over-estimates inadequacy, and that we need more valid biochemical measures. Fortification should be a 2 prong approach- modest fortification, followed by targeted fortification where needed. Taylor speculated on the next US fortification experience – perhaps vitamin D. She highlighted a paper just published by their group that suggests we are underestimating vitamin D intake by about 15-30% because we currently don't include 25(OH)D from animal products in food composition tables, a perfect example of why biomarkers are needed.
Dr. Omar Dary was next with a more global perspective on fortification. He stressed that fortification reach and coverage depends on the consumption pattern of the fortification vehicle. For example, iron is added to wheat flour in Jordan which improves status in children, but not women. Vitamin A is also added but that pattern is the opposite. In Chile, folic acid is added to wheat flour which reduces neural tube defects, but also increases the risk of excessive intake for much of the population. Multiple food vehicles would therefore be necessary in these countries to target different segments of the population. However, sugar is fortified with vitamin A in Guatemala, and because all segments of the population consume sugar, it doesn't need to be added to anything else. Where detailed national diet intake data are not available, Dary and others propose a model based on "fortifiable food energy" – an optimal combination of food vehicles to achieve an ideal balance of increasing nutrients without unnecessary excess risk.
Dr. Regan Bailey discussed some of her NHANES research on children, looking at how fortification alters the proportion below micronutrient EARs and above ULs. She noted that not all nutrients have a large gap between the RDA and the UL, so fortification can push some above the UL. For example, 0% of children were above the ULs for folate and niacin without enrichment/fortification, but including these raised them both to 4%. Dietary supplements further increased these to 15% and 16% of the children, respectively. Bailey emphasized that we need need better analytically derived data for food and supplements and ideally we need to incorporate diet, supplements, and biomarkers to gain an accurate picture of the contributions of fortification and supplementation on nutrient status in the population.
Dr. Valerie Tarasuk covered discretionary fortified foods, for which the definition varies somewhat in different countries. In Canada, this means fortification that is not mandatory, and in the US it is fortification outside a planned health program. She showed how discretionary fortification is being used in marketing (certain energy drinks for instance) – in some products up to "many hundreds of times" the DRI. On some cereals, the % daily value is being used to market the product on the front of the box. Tarasuk's lab has found that discretionary fortified foods do increase some nutrient intakes above the UL in some subpopulations. She emphasized that there is no evidence that going above usual intakes confers health benefits, and cautioned that research on utilizing nutrient supplements to prevent chronic disease keeps coming back negative. We need to monitor discretionary fortification by including it in food composition tables, and design surveys to enable subgroup analyses, she said. Along with these, tracking systems for adverse effects are needed and we need to study potential health consequences of chronic high intakes for fortificants and supplements.
Dr. Martin Philbert gave a talk that departed from the other topics: exploring fortification by nano-delivery. Nano-packages can encapsulate nutrients and altering their properties can target specific tissues if desired. However, absorption, excretion, metabolism, and toxicity can be altered when changing particle size, so much research needs to be done to explore these areas. For a technical overview of nanotechnology applications in nutrition, see this review.
Finally, Dr. Carl Keen took the audience through a hypothetical scenario in considering a new avenue of fortification: flavanols. There is a large body of evidence that suggests flavonoid intake is associated with a reduced coronary heart disease mortality. Intervention trials are relatively consistent, but epidemiological studies are not as clean, said Dr. Keen. This may be because interventions are traditionally done at the upper 10% of intake, so maybe fortification is necessary. Reliable physiological markers must be established. Biomarkers are not possible because metabolites can be gone by the evening if they are consumed in the morning. There is antioxidant activity in vitro but possibly not in vivo. Their effect on blood pressure is inconsistent. Platelet markers and vascular function as measured by flow mediated dilation may work, as there are consistent short-term changes in these. There are potential negative effects that would need to be considered: anti-nutrition effects, thyroid toxicity, genotoxicity, etc. Research would need to be done to define the amount of flavanols needed to achieve "optimal" status, to examine whether acute effects persist, explore mechanisms of action, and determine safety thresholds.
How we think about fortification has changed from nearly a century ago when the US first fortified salt with iodine. There still remain many challenges, especially outside of the US, in targeting specific populations with low nutrient intakes. Accurate monitoring of nutrient intakes and health outcomes is needed now more than ever as discretionary fortification is being used for food marketing. The broad perspectives that were covered in this session left a lot to think about, and no doubt fostered conversation as John Milner would have intended.

As a nutritionist I believe the foundation to healthy eating comes in organic foods with a balance of the right foods sources. Also an in depth blood test can reveal what you are lacking which you address in pure targeted suppements.

Q: Django ValidationError date format exception Hi I check all question about my answer and doesn't find solution. Today I change my CustomUser model and then it stop works. I think, I failed one thing, when django ask me about default value to datefield and I add "" (empty string), but I not sure.
I tried to delete all db tables and migrate again, tried delete all migrations and still don't work

A: django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: ["'' value has an invalid date format. It must be in YYYY-MM-DD format."]

As the error message says, the empty string is an invalid value for a date. You could either provide a string in the required format, e.g. "2015-11-04", or use python's date, e.g. date.today().
However, I'm slightly worried that you have this change in migration 0008 in your migrations. Changing to a custom user in an existing project is extremely tricky (see the warning in the docs). If you delete all your user migrations and recreate them, then it should create the model from scratch, and not ask for a default date at all.

FAQs: B106™ – 2020, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Pro Bono Services
Does B106–2020 include provisions for partial compensation or payment for additional services?
B106 does not include provisions for partial compensation. A table format is provided which the parties can use to designate the scope of the architect's pro bono services and the maximum number of hours the architect will provide for each designated pro bono service. If the architect will receive financial compensation for a portion of its services or for additional services, the parties must execute an amendment to B106 or a separate agreement.
Which general conditions document should be used with B106–2020?
If the architect is providing construction phase services, B106–2020 is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A201®–2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which incorporates by reference.
How are "pro bono services" defined?
In AIA Document B106™–2020, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Pro Bono Services, the architect's pro bono services are defined as those for which the architect receives no financial compensation other than compensation for reimbursable expenses. If the architect will receive financial compensation for a portion of its services or for additional services, the parties must execute an amendment to B106 or a separate agreement.
Why is there a separate owner/architect agreement for pro bono services, i.e. B106-2020?
An architect takes on significant risk in performing professional services. Typically, an architect's fees are a small fraction of the overall cost of construction and the potential liability that could result from providing those services. In typical projects, the fees the architect receives act to offset the risks the architect faces. In an agreement where the architect provides its services pro bono, the architect still faces significant risk of liability, but without the prospect of financial gain. For this reason, the AIA recommends that architects who are engaged in the provision of pro bono services consider using an agreement that helps mitigate the risks in providing professional services.
What are the differences between B106™-2020 and other owner/architect agreements (like B101®-2017) in which the architect receives compensation?
There are numerous differences between B106-2020 and the AIA's other owner/architect agreements. The AIA recommends that the parties carefully compare the provisions of B106-2020 with other standard form owner/architect agreements before executing B106-2020. The following is a summary of significant differences between B106-2020 and B101-2017:
In B106-2020, the architect and owner agree that the Initial Information provided by the owner shall not materially change and, in the event that it does, the parties shall renegotiate the agreement, or they may terminate the agreement (see Section 1.2). B101-2017, on the other hand, allows the owner more flexibility to change initial information, subject to adjustments in the architect's compensation.
B106-2020 is styled as a "menu of services" agreement that the architect and owner may agree to as being provided on a pro bono basis. The architect could potentially provide a range of pre-design services, individual phases of design, specialty design services, or post-construction services under B106-2020. On the other hand, B101-2017 envisions that the architect will primarily provide the traditional 5 phases of design – schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding and negotiation, and construction contract administration – as basic services and other services will be provided as additional services.
B106-2020 does not include a detailed scope of services for the architect's traditional 5 phases of design, nor does it include the "cost of the work" section that is present in B101-2017. If the architect is going to provide those services pro-bono, they must be selected in Section 3.2.2 and fully described in Section 3.3.
B106-2020 requires the owner to purchase and maintain commercial general liability insurance during the course of the project (see Section 5.16), whereas B101-2017 is silent on such a requirement.
B106-2020 contains a claims limitation period of 6 years after the date of substantial completion of the work (see Section 7.1.1), rather than 10 years in B101-2017 and most other AIA owner/architect agreements.
B106-2020 includes a provision where the owner indemnifies and holds the architect harmless from and against losses arising from third party claims (see Section 7.1.4). B101-2017 does not contain such a provision.
B106-2020 includes a provision that allows the parties to negotiate a limitation of the architect's liability (see Section 7.1.5). B101-2017 does not contain such a provision.
B106-2020 includes a requirement that the parties conduct a meet and confer session as a condition precedent to mediation and binding dispute resolution (see Section 7.2). B101-2017 does not contain such a provision.
B106-2020 allows either party to terminate the agreement for convenience and without cause (see Section 8.4), whereas B101-2017 only allows the owner to terminate the agreement in such a manner.
The compensation provisions of B106-2020 are significantly different than in B101-2017 as the architect will not be financially compensated for its services in B106-2020 (see Article 9). B106-2020 does allow the architect non-monetary compensation for its services in the form of recognition as a donor. B106-2020 also allows the architect to be reimbursed for its expenses on the project in Section 9.4.

The place where I stopped was really quite a sight.
Where the Cutthroat congregate in a little school.
They nudged it with their noses oh the words I said.
Old mighty cut and I were in for quite a fight.
I began to wonder how it all would end.
In that cold clear water what a pretty sight.
The mightly little Cut surely made the day.
The out upon the grass shinning in the sun.
Knowing that it held and wondering why.
Just above the ripple where another Cutthroat rose.


41 and played every game since the start.
Youth intake - how do you handle it?
Not only me who doesn't get it then There should be a help section within the game explaining it in far better detail.
So what are your thoughts on the new mentoring system?
Also in addition to the above I think you should also be able to upgrade your training facilities from say average straight to state of the art if you have the funds rather than doing it step by step which takes years and years.
Thanks for the above that is a great help, how do you improve corporate facilities?
I think it would be a good idea for the board to let you know how much an upgrade costs prior to you deciding to go ahead with an upgrade.
Yeah true and once bitten twice shy I guess.


Delicious flour free chocolate muffins.
A few years ago I lost a bunch of weight eating very little carbs. I've since found some of that weight and sort of kinda try to keep the low carb habits going. It's a challenge I find being busy, on the go, with the kids and eating at work. Once place I really try to keep it up is with treats and sweets. I have a load of low carb (or adaptable) recipes on my Food Pinterest board.
These are a fav. I've adapted the recipe from Averie Cooks post here. She also links to her original recipe, which she improved upon by making them double chocolate.
I DO NOT make these in my blender. I tried that the first time and it was just waaaaay too difficult to clean that thing out afterwards! Her's are dairy free but I tend to just use mini chocolate chips I have on hand at times. I also use whatever nut butter I happen to have. My cousin works at Nuts To You so I get to try a lot of different types.
Here's my minty take on Averie's recipe.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture: " They divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.
They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors." Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself. Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

South Bay is growing its own colorful version…
South Bay is growing its own colorful version of the Castro District
By Chico Enterprise-Record |
PUBLISHED: April 6, 2016 at 5:18 pm | UPDATED: April 20, 2018 at 8:37 am
Despite being overshadowed by San Francisco's famously gay Castro District, San Jose and the rest of Santa Clara County has recently taken strides to generate greater visibility for the South Bay LGBT community.
Santa Clara County officials raised the pink, white and blue stripes of the transgender pride flag over Santa Clara County Government Center on March 22, just several months after establishing the Office of LGBT Affairs, making it the first county ever to do either in the United States. San Jose City College also hosted its own Equality Week March 28-31, which included a viewing of the film "Milk" about Harvey Milk, California's first openly gay elected official, a field trip to the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco, an LGBT resource fair and lectures from LGBT students.
The Billy DeFrank LGBTQ Community Center also raised its own transgender pride flag last week, several days before International Transgender Day of Visibility. The center, which also unveiled the city's first rainbow crosswalk last month, celebrated the day on April 2 with numerous presentations and discussions about transgender issues, as well as an appearance by Congressman Mike Honda, who last year announced he was the "proud grandpa of a transgender grandchild."
The sudden prominence of LGBT issues in San Jose stretches back to last year when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage, according to DeFrank Center executive director Gabrielle Antolovich. She said Supervisor Ken Yeager, the county's first openly gay elected official, has played a major role in helping to increase the LGBT community's visibility and saving the DeFrank Center, and that's caused a trickle-down effect into the community.
"He fought for our building to remain the Billy DeFrank center because we were a redevelopment agency building," Antolovich said. "It was a time when the gay issue wasn't as accepted as it is now, so it was a much bigger fight.
"The crosswalk wouldn't mean anything if there was no gay community center here; it gave the crosswalk context," she added.
But visibility is only partly why San Jose's LGBT community is now starting to blend with the rest of mainstream society. Antolovich said the DeFrank Center regularly encourages visitors to patronize other local businesses on The Alameda such as Crema Coffee, which she said has been a welcoming neighbor. Building business relationships also nurtures neighborhood ties, and Antolovich said that's been the crux of the LGBT community's inclusion.
"Finally people are getting it that our slogan really means something, which is 'Better Together,' " Antolovich said. "Now we are known to be part of the entire community, we're not this little isolated piece that people talk about. We feel as if our experience has expanded."
Nonprofit group Rebuilding Together will host a repainting project for the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ Community Center on April 23 from 8 a.m. to noon at the DeFrank Center, 938 The Alameda.

Amazon to double job presence in northern Virginia

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Amazon is taking a big step toward establishing its presence at its emerging northern Virginia headquarters, with plans to hire nearly 2,000 workers there.
The new hires will more than double Amazon's presence in Arlington, where about 1,600 are currently employed.
The jobs cover a variety of specialties, including software developers, project managers, engineers and store designers.
In a blog post Wednesday, the company said the new jobs constitute the highest number of open positions in Arlington since the company announced its plans in 2018 to establish a second headquarters in the Crystal City section of the county.
By 2025, the company expects to employ 25,000 in Arlington.

Picture Past: May 8, 1964
At a meeting of the 1st Worle Brownie Pack, Miss Dorothy Perry, of Hillstan, Hawthorn Hill, Worle, was presented with the Silver Thanks Badge of the Girl Guides Association. Miss N.A. Jefferies, who presented the badge, recalled how Mrs Perry had supported the Pack since its formation in 1938, attending all its public fuctions, even during the war years.
A ROYAL visit to Weston was announced, while the Queen Mother was entertained by some of the town's donkeys this week in 1964.
Here are some of the stories reported by the Weston Mercury & Somersetshire Herald on May 8:
* Princess Alexandra was announced as a visitor to the town on July 8 to open The Lauriston, a new holiday home for blind people and their families. The visit was scheduled to include the Garden of Fragrance and flats for blind people in Lonsdale Avenue.
* And in other royal family news, two Weston donkeys were reported to have entertained the Queen Mother at the Badminton Horse Trials. Ringo and Snow White both attended the event with their owner Don Trapnell where they were raising money for disabled children. The Queen Mother reportedly watched them for 10 minutes, while Snow White entertained with her special trick of drinking tea from a china cup.
* Haircuts were set to cost more after salon owners decided on new minimum charges. It was the first price rise in the town for eight years. A cut for men saw a 1s 6d increase, while the minimum charge for a woman's cut was 3s 6d, and 6s 6d for styling. Hairdressers cited an increase in overheads, rising wages and rates as the reason for the price increase.
* Weston Cricket Team's opening batsman Terry Willetts was handed a contract at Somerset County Cricket Club. The left-hander, then aged 25, averaged 40 with the bat for Weston. He played 16 first class matches in total during his career, finishing with an average of 11.10.
* Weston Rugby Club had its poorest season since the war, the paper reported. Although unlike the previous year games had not been blighted by snow and frost, the club's gate receipts had slipped to a new low.
* Banwell's church was 'in danger', after an inspection found major damage by death watch beetles in the roof. Repairs were expected to cost £5,250 for the church described as 'one of the finest examples of perpendicular architecture'.

Egypt, Jordan, Morocco to Attend Bahrain Economic Conference
by TheTower.org Staff | 06.13.19 12:23 pm
Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco are set to join Saudi Arabia and several Gulf States at a U.S.-sponsored peace conference in Bahrain on June 25-26, during which the United States is set to announce the economic aspects of its long-awaited peace plan.
A senior U.S. official confirmed Tuesday that the White House has been informed of the decision. "Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt have told us that they are attending," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The participation of Egypt and Jordan is considered especially important, since they are the only Arab nations to have made peace with Israel since 1967 and may pave the way for the Jewish State to send a delegation as well.
Israel has yet to receive a formal invitation, in part due to U.S. officials wanting to draw enough Arab participation before officially brining Israel in. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia announced in May that they would participate in the conference.
The workshop is aimed at boosting the Palestinian economy and is part of a broader diplomatic effort by the Trump administration to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Bahrain's Foreign Minister, Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa, said earlier that the conference "serves no other purpose" than to help the Palestinian people "through developing their abilities and enhancing their resources."
However, the Palestinian Authority (PA) immediately dismissed the initiative and said they would not participate in the conference. The Palestinian leadership has already declared the U.S. peace plan dead on arrival, without engaging in serious negotiations with U.S. officials.
Speaking at a ceremony in Ramallah last month, PA President Mahmoud Abbas said that, "The Palestinian Authority does not recognize this conference." The PA chairman went on to describe the U.S. peace initiative as a "disgrace" and predicted that "the economic project they are working on for next month will also go to hell."

Fireballs on the Rise
Posted by Sevan Makaracı on March 2, 2020 at 10:30am
There are increasing meteor reports recently all over the world. More debris from the Px tail...
ZetaTalk: Live Chat, written November 21, 2009
"When the debris from the tail of Planet X first started arriving in ernest, in 2004, the establishment chose to call this space junk. When the public became alarmed at the amount of space junk falling to Earth they tried to enhance the story by claiming that two satellites had crashed into each other, but this just made a bad story worse. Since fireballs have not gone away, but continued apace and if anything gotten worse, a new term has been used - asteroids. This is debris in the tail of Planet X, which is increasingly turning toward the Earth, hosed out from the N Pole of Planet X. This is why the wobble has gotten more violent, why electromagnetic disruption of dams and airplanes has occurred, and why blackouts will become more frequent. There will also be displays in the sky, some of which has already been noticed, from the electromagnetic tides assaulting the Earth's atmosphere. Stay tuned, more to come!"
Reports of a "bright light" and an "orange glow" were received by police across Scotland and the north of England around 9.40pm.
The Met Office tweeted: "Hi All, for anyone seeing something in the night sky, we believe it was a meteorite."
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said the force had been "inundated" with calls about a bright object in the sky across the west of Scotland. A Durham Police spokeswoman said a number of calls came in around 9.45pm from concerned members of public who had seen a "bright light or a fire in the sky" and believed it may have been incidents involving an aircraft. "
It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraftin difficult and nothing registered on radar," she said. "
The sightings are believed to be either an asteroid burning out or similar which has been restricted to the upper atmosphere only." Grampian Police said reports of people seeing a "flare or a bright object with a tail" were received from across the region. And Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said numerous calls were made about a "large ball of fire in the sky" across Annandale and Eskdale.
One user wrote on the force's Facebook page: "It was awesome to see! Really big and bright!" Hundreds of people took to Twitter to report similar sightings across Scotland and the north of England. People described seeing a bright fireball moving across the sky with a large tail.
The Kielder Observatory also reported the sighting of a "huge fireball" travelling from north to south over Northumberland at 9.41pm. The Observatory posted on Twitter: "Of 30 years observing the sky #fireball best thing I have ever seen period."

Heard a big bang': Nevada County man wonders if meteorite destroyed his house
The Taurids meteor shower was set to peak this weekend but it's unclear what caused the house fire
Updated: 6:57 PM PDT Nov 5, 2022

NEVADA COUNTY, Calif. —
Northern California officials are looking into if the bright ball of light seen in the sky Friday night is a meteorite that landed on and destroyed a Nevada County home.
Witnesses came from all over the region following the path of the bright ball in the sky to see where it landed and that path might have led to Dustin Procita's home. He was inside the house with his two dogs when he said something hit his home and started a fire.
"I heard a big bang," he said. "I started to smell smoke. I went onto my porch and it was completely engulfed in flames."
Procita lives in a quiet, rural area of rolling hills where cattle graze.
He said the area is home to multi-generational cattle farmers and ranchers. He had just fed the cows and sat on the couch listening to music when it hit his home.
What is in the sky? Video shows fireball tumbling down in Northern California
He managed to save his rat terrier dog and tried to get back inside for his other family dog, but couldn't save him. The dog died in the fire.
"I tried to go around to the windows but fire and smoke was dumping through and I couldn't see inside," Procita said.
Penn Valley Fire Department Captain Josh Miller said they had a call around 7:30 p.m. for a structure fire but because of the secluded location, knew they would have a firefight on their hands.
"Wide, open spaces and this was out on a farm, a cattle ranch area with not much around it," Miller said.
His firefighters, along with Smartsville Fire Department and CalFire, battled the flames for several hours.
It appears the bright ball of light captured on car and home videos landed in the middle of nowhere. Procita believes a meteor landed on his house.
"I always watched meteor showers as a kid but I didn't want them landing in my yard or through my roof," he said.
Miller said he didn't see the bright ball in the sky.
"Everyone I talked to said it was a flaming ball falling from the sky and landed in that general area," Miller said.
Miller said witnesses started arriving on the scene and are looking into if a meteorite caused the fire in the rural area.
"I had one individual tell me about it first and I put it in the back of my mind but then more people — 2, 3, 4 — started coming in and talking about it," he said.
Procita and his wife said they will pick up the pieces and realize maybe the odds are in their favor.
"They said it's a one in four trillion chance so I guess I might be buying a lottery ticket today," Procita said.
Miller said it will take about two weeks to determine the cause of the fire.
Taurid meteor showers are currently happening in the area, with the peak taking place on Saturday. NASA said there will be an increase of bright balls visible in the sky.

NASA's DART Mission Will Intentionally Crash A Spacecraft Into A Small Asteroid To Test Planetary Defense Capabilities
On Nov. 23 at 10:21 p.m. PST/ Nov. 24 at 1:21 a.m. EST, NASA will be launching its first-ever mission to redirect an asteroid. This asteroid is not a danger to Earth, but NASA is ready to test planetary defense capabilities for the future; no super powers or drilling teams needed. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will be headed towards the asteroid Didymos and its small moon and impact target, Dimorphos. DART will intentionally collide with Dimorphos to alter the path of this small asteroid around the larger asteroid Didymos. NASA's goal with DART is for us to be prepared with a planetary defense capability if an asteroid is ever discovered to be on a collision course with Earth in the future.
Small fragments of asteroids, from pebble-sized to person-sized, hit the Earth every day. Dimorphos is about the height of the Washington Monument (but much bulkier). An asteroid this big could cause severe damage if it were to collide with our planet. No known asteroid poses an impact threat to Earth for the next 100 years, but the danger from asteroids not yet discovered is still unknown. The DART mission will be the first of its kind to alter the path of an asteroid so we can observe how a real asteroid responds to a deflection attempt, should we ever need to deflect one.

Bright blue fireball caught on videos over Colorado
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/bright-blue-fireball-caught-on-vi...
More than 40 people reported a fireball sighting Sunday morning (Oct. 3), mainly over Colorado. The fireball was also seen in Wyoming and New Mexico and 12 people submitted videos to the American Meteor Society.
In one video, captured on a porch camera in Commerce City, Colorado, the fireball appears to drop out of the sky in a blue blaze.
Another video, taken by Josh Ellis in Evergreen, Colorado, was shared with CBS Denver. Ellis said the fireball was so bright, it charged his solar lights.
"Everything was pitch dark, and all of a sudden it lit up as if it was a brightly lit moon," said Doug Robinson, who captured video of the fireball over Boulder, Colorado.
Fireballs are bright meteors categorized as brighter than the planet Venus, according to the society, a nonprofit that monitors meteors.
About six people described hearing a boom during the Colorado fireball sighting, a society employee told CBS Denver.
Chris Peterson, who works at the Cloudbait Observatory in the central Colorado Rocky Mountains, said the fireball spotted on Sunday was "descending very deep."
"Ten or 20 miles may not seem very close to the ground, but when we think about typical burning stars, we're seeing things that are burning up 60 to 70 miles high," Peterson told CBS Denver. The observatory also recorded the fireball..."
"..Last week, NASA said a fireball fell over the North Carolina coast at about 32,000 miles per hour. It was one of at least five fireballs seen over the U.S. in the same night.
The American Meteor Society received 148 fireball reports from Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia, and the fireball in North Carolina had the largest group of eyewitness accounts, with more than 80 people reporting it. The fireball was captured in at least two different videos. .."

Chinese researchers propose deflecting 'Armageddon' asteroids with rockets
BEIJING, July 7 (Reuters) - Chinese researchers want to send more than 20 of China's largest rockets to practice turning away a sizable asteroid - a technique that may eventually be crucial if a killer rock is on a collision course with Earth.
The idea is more than science fiction. Sometime between late 2021 to early 2022, the United States will launch a robotic spacecraft to intercept two asteroids relatively close to Earth.
When it arrives a year later, the NASA spacecraft will crash-land on the smaller of the two rocky bodies to see how much the asteroid's trajectory changes. It will be humanity's first try at changing the course of a celestial body.
At China's National Space Science Center, researchers found in simulations that 23 Long March 5 rockets hitting simultaneously could deflect a large asteroid from its original path by a distance 1.4 times the Earth's radius.
Their calculations are based on an asteroid dubbed Bennu, orbiting the sun, which is as wide as the Empire State Building is tall. It belongs to a class of rocks with the potential to cause regional or continental damage. Asteroids spanning more than 1 km would have global consequences.
The science center cited a recently published study in Icarus, a journal on planetary science.
Long March 5 rockets are key to China's near-term space ambitions - from delivering space station modules to launching probes to the Moon and Mars. China has successfully launched six Long March 5 rockets since 2016, with the last one causing some safety concerns as its remnants reentered the atmosphere in May.
"The proposal of keeping the upper stage of the launch rocket to a guiding spacecraft, making one large 'kinetic impactor' to deflect an asteroid, is a rather nice concept," said Professor Alan Fitzsimmons from the Astrophysics Research Centre at Queen's University Belfast.
"By increasing the mass hitting the asteroid, simple physics should ensure a much greater effect," Fitzsimmons told Reuters, although, he added, the actual operation of such a mission needs to be studied in greater detail.
Current estimates show there is roughly a 1% chance a 100-metre-wide asteroid would strike Earth in the next 100 years, said Professor Gareth Collins at Imperial College London.
"Something the size of Bennu colliding is about 10 times less likely," Collins said.
Altering an asteroid's path presents a lower risk than blasting the rock with nuclear explosives, which may create smaller fragments without changing their course, scientists say.

Our biblical mission is to love God, love and serve others, and make disciples of Jesus Christ.
A church that seeks, welcomes, and forms in Christian faith all ages of people with a special focus at this time on reaching out more to families and children, increasing our connection with and ministry in the community, and forming more small groups to grow people in relationship with Jesus and one another.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the source of our salvation. Through faith in Jesus Christ we are forgiven our sins, made right with God, and given a new life in which faith is lived out in the world. All possible by Christ's death for our sins and resurrection to conquer sin.
The Holy Spirit, God with us, guides us in our Christian life, grows us closer to the image of Christ as we open ourselves to Him, and empowers our daily living.
We believe that the Christian life involves representing God in the world through Christian mission, social witness, and faith sharing. We grow in our faith through participation in the Christian community. We are obligated to reflect thoughtfully on the Scriptures, which are illumined by tradition, brought to life in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.
We believe the Church belongs to God and that the Church in the world is as Scripture puts it "the body of Christ." The Church is to be the physical presence of Christ in the world. As such, our primary aim is to do God's will.
It is our desire to honor God through our work on His behalf. To that end, we will do His work with these qualities: integrity, grace, excellence, relevance, authentically, passion, humility, faith, inclusivity, commitment, joy, and love.
For more information, click here for our denominational website.
It is our hope that through each other, worship, the Word, prayer, and serving that we would find ourselves in the presence of God.
Our desire is to be a people that would give hope and compassion to the sick, broken, & hurting. Christ Church is a faith family where one can be transparent and know that regardless of who they are or where they've been, they have a seat around the table with the Lord.
We are a group that is searching for more to life. For many of us, this is the search for hope, love, and wholeness. For believers, this is the desire to go beyond surface level Christianity and into a deeper walk with Christ through discipleship. Regardless of where you are in the search, we believe that more can only truly be found in the deep and unconditional embrace of God.
When one finds themselves in the embrace of God, they can no longer remain the same person that they were before we become more like Him to ourselves and to those around us. Our greatest desire is to serve and love the people of Racine; that they would experience God and His embrace through us. Through this church, we desire to bring glory and honor to the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


Typical statist thought. Pass a law requiring payment to live in the US, and voila! poor immigrants will quit coming here....What a joke. If people don't pay attention to the current laws, why would they pay attention to this one?
"A deeply contentious issue in American politics is immigration, especially illegal immigration."
The problem with that is that there's no such thing as illegal immigration in the United States. The founders considered, debated and rejected a federal power to regulate immigration.
Not only did they reject it, but they forbade it for 20 years.
And not only did they forbid it for 20 years, they forbade even amending the Constitution to UN-forbid it for 20 years ... since which there's been no such amendment, and consequently no such power. And like Marshall said, "a law repugnant to the Constitution ... is void."
For the first 90 years of constitutional governance, Congress passed no federal immigration regulations because they knew damn well they didn't have the authority to do so. An activist Supreme Court "discovered" (read: Manufactured from whole cloth) that authority in 1875.
Regardless of its ultimate wisdom, regulation of immigration is one of the enumerated powers of Congress (which is has used improperly). I am shocked that I'm the first to post this point.
Taking you at face value, I will just say that you need to go read the Constitution. I would go to the trouble of quoting the exact article, but the risk is just too great that you need to read the whole damn thing. So go and find it.
Taking you not at face value, perhaps you are an anarchist who just hates the Constitution and wishes to confuse and misdirect any ignorant opponents of your views who may pass by. In either case, I think this needed to be said.
While I'm here, I'll just say that I, too, have pondered the, so called, "immigration" issue a great deal as well. My thought on it is that, ultimately, the only satisfactory solution to the problem now would be a (relatively) free U.S, and a (relatively) free Mexico (with everything that suggests). Currently about 90% or more of all people don't have a clear clue of what that would look like, or how to achieve it!
A pox on your house for using "explicate" instead of "explain".
$50000 x 100,000 immigrants = a balanced federal budget. Great idea.
50 billion to balance the budget? You wish. Try 1.4 T (1400 billion).


Mazes have been challenging us to solve them for thousands of years, with examples found in the ruins of even the most ancient civilizations. There's something irresistible about finding your way through a tangle of walls until you finally reach the exit.
We can supply mazes at any shape and size, from the very small to the ridiculously, insanely complex.
And if a regular rectangular maze doesn't excite you, we can make all kinds of variants, from circular mazes through to fiendish bridge mazes where paths cross over and under themselves - this makes them much harder!
But if still that isn't complex enough, then how about multi-floor mazes?! These mazes involve passageways, like ladders, from one maze to another - and they can have as many floors as you like. In fact, we could provide enough floors to fill an entire book!
Why not also enquire about our shaped and other specialized maze varieties - we're currently working on a number of exciting projects in this area, so we have variety samples not displayed here.
