second hand oak coffee table – A round coffee table is wonderful for promoting harmony in the home, and also in the family area. Many interior designers recommend using such tables in larger living spaces, family rooms and dens so that you can bring some harmony for the room. This is especially important when decorating a home for families with children.
Any interior designer worth their salt realizes that a larger coffee table, when used to connect opposite sides of an L-shaped sofa or bring 2 bits of a sofa set together, will actually allow for better communication amongst members of the family. This breakdown in communication barriers and enhancement of communication, sharing and conversation occurs as a result of the easy act to be in a position to touch the identical unifying object – which is the round coffee table. Such coffee tables can also be considered ideal in Feng Shui. This is because they are in a position to balance the room produced by the greater sofa arrangement or larger lounge area. As a result, you end up with both personal and familial harmony inside your room, that happen to be easily achieved by be simple placement of your coffee table.
The round coffee table is becoming very popular amongst homeowners today mainly because it matches well with the current trend of over-sized, fluffy, plush, comfortable furniture. These tables enable you to enjoy more depth and width when connecting the far sides of your respective sofa, along with the people seated on those far sides of the sofa. Such coffee tables are available in several styles, meaning that homeowners are capable to use them to enhance any kind of existing decor of their homes. If you are looking for anything from glass, wrought iron, or plush fabric covered cabinets, you will find a round table that fits this description.
A round coffee table that is plush and padded work well in giving your lounge that elegant touch, while at exactly the same time protecting your young ones from hurting themselves during rough play. Some tables even allow for the padding to become quickly store when you'd like to entertain adults with your family room. If you wish to use a round table inside a formal setting like your formal family area or parlor, go for one with the intricate inlay pattern made of glass, wood or tile. If you select tile or wood, consider adding a glass top for the protection of your table top. Tempered glass will be your best choice for offering maximum protection for a table top.
If you are planning to put in a unique perspective for an otherwise formal or crowded space, a round table is possibly your best choice. Round tables can give every home a feeling of harmony and equality. As with any other pursuits of furniture, round tables reflect not just the design and style, but also the personality with the home owner. In this case, a round coffee table identifies you as being a person who is collaborative in nature and willing to bring people together.

Philippines will be 2nd fastest growing emerging market in 2019-2028
With an expanding labor force, the Philippines will be eclipsed only by India among emerging markets (EMs) expected to post the fastest economic growth in the next 10 years.
In a February 15 report, UK-based Oxford Economics projected the Philippines' gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by an average of 5.3 percent between 2019 and 2028, only outpaced by India's 6.5 percent.
For 2019, Oxford Economics had said its expects the Philippines' GDP growth at 6.1 percent, below the government's 7-8 percent target range.
China and Indonesia's economies were both seen expanding by 5.1 percent during the 10-year period; Malaysia, 3.8 percent; Turkey, 3 percent; Thailand, 2.9 percent; Chile, 2.6 percent; Poland, 2.5 percent; and South Africa, 2.3 percent.
The labor force in the Philippines was projected to increase by an average of 2.3 percent during the next 10 years, the fastest among the 10 emerging markets.
The labor force growth figure was computed by Oxford Economics as the number of people in the labor force multiplied to the average number of hours worked.
Total factor productivity growth was seen at 1 percent, while capital deepening or the contribution of capital accumulation to labor productivity growth was projected to rise by 1.6 percent from 2019 and 2028.
In a report titled "Sustained growth in EMs calls for thrift and innovation," Oxford Economics said that while "countries with higher gross domestic saving (as a share of GDP) tend to have higher trend growth… the Philippines seems to be a major outlier, but its domestic savings are supplemented heavily by remittances."

Everything you need to know about Mac scareware
Newest MacDefender scareware installs without a password
Mac OS update detects, deletes MacDefender 'scareware'
Mac scareware gang evades Apple's new anti-malware defenses
Apple fans have to face facts on security
By Hamish Barwick
Mac OS X users who still think they are safe should face facts and be prepared for more attacks like the MacDefender scareware bogus security software, according to one security expert.
MacDefender claims that a computer is heavily infected with worms, viruses and other malware. Once installed, the software keeps presenting pop-ups and fake alerts to users until they purchase fake antivirus software.
In the wake of the initial attack, a variant of MacDefender has emerged, splitting the program into two parts. Once a small downloader, dubbed "avRunner," is on a Mac it reaches out to a hacker-controlled site to download the phoney MacGuard security software. The new version requires no administrator password; the user only has to click 'OK' a couple of times for it to install it. The names of the fake antivirus programs include MacDefender, MacProtector and MacSecurity.
Gartner Australia research director, Rob McMillan, said that Apple Macs had a reputation for being "bullet proof" for years but said that no complex piece of software is without its weaknesses. "The confidence that we have seen expressed in some user forums is because Macintosh hasn't been targeted," said McMillan.
"I think that confidence has been misplaced over the past few years and that's not a reflection on the vendor but a reflection on the fact that the Apple OS hasn't traditionally been attacked."
He pointed out that scareware-based trojan attacks are not unusual in the Windows world, and users of any operating system require some street smarts. "Just because something says it is a secure piece of software, that's not always the case," he said. "Now is a good time for Mac users to deploy security software if they haven't already done so."
McMillan said that Mac vulnerabilities were nothing new and cites a case from 2009. In April 2009, security researchers revealed they had discovered possible evidence of a Mac-based botnet.
"Is this going to be a one off [attack] or will we see more? I suspect we will see more attacks because it's worth the investment for the bad guys."
The 'trigger point' for Macintosh attacks is the operating system's wider adoption. According to data from Needham and Co, Mac shipments in Asia have risen 69.4 per cent in 2011.
"I expect we will see existing types of attacks transfer over to the Mac because they have been money spinners for the bad guys in the past," said McMillan. "Now we've hit a point where the benefit outweighs the cost and the bad guys will rely on the sorts of techniques that have already proven successful such as malware."
Apple said in a statement that it would update Mac OS X, adding the ability to detect and delete the MacDefender scareware to the operating system.

Scout eh
From ScoutWiki, For Everyone, Everywhere involved with Scouting and Guiding...
This article was imported from Wikipedia and needs to be ScoutWikified. You can help ScoutWiki by fixing it.
SCOUT eh! is an organization of "registered Scouts Canada members dedicated to transforming Scouts Canada into a democratic association". The name is an acronym for "Scouts Canada Ordinary-member Unity Taskforce Association".
SCOUT eh! was founded in August, 2004 by Scouter Mike Reid of Montreal, Quebec. As of September, 2006 it had over 700 members from every Scouts Canada council and Canadian province.
1 Roots
2 Early growth
3 Scouts Canada AGM 2004
4 Recent developments
In the late 1990s, Scouts Canada embarked on a restructuring process aimed at addressing the ongoing problem of membership decline. A team lead by Larry Fox wrote what was officially known as the Millennium Report (sometimes called the Fox Report). The report described a dramatically more centralized and staff-directed structure for the association. The report was extremely unpopular with the portions of Scouts Canada's membership, especially those at the District level. Scouts Canada formally set aside the report, but continued work on restructuring.
In 2000, Scouts Canada replaced its General By-Law with By-Law No. 1. The amendments replaced the 52-member National Council with a 23-member Board of Governors and divided the membership into Ordinary Members, who have no voting rights; and Voting Members, a group of 100 or fewer people who elect the Board and vote on matters presented to the national Annual General Meeting.
2002 saw the implementation of restructuring. Scouts Canada passed By-Law No. 2 which replaced the Provincial, Regional, and District Councils with 20 new councils, comprising an entire province or a large part of a province.[1] Councils are led by a Council Commissioner, appointed by Scouts Canada's CEO, the top staff member. The Districts were tranfromed into Areas overseen by an Area Commissioner appointed by and accountable to the Council Commissioner. Scouts Canada's Ontario Incorporated Body, which is the trustee for most of the Scout camps in Ontario, quietly started a property review process.
By 2004, dissatisfaction was growing among some of Scouts Canadas membership. While some of the national leadership and staff considered the restructuring to be a success, some others at the local level objected to the changes and found the new system to be ineffective at helping Scouters deliver the program. The property review had also become public knowledge and Scouters were worried about losing local camps. An information session at an April, 2004 Scouts Canada conference near Toronto did not reassure all the membership. In the middle of that summer, Scouts Canada produced a list of Scout camps they wanted to close.[2]
During this time some volunteers, inspired by the leadership of Mike Reid, spearheaded the creation of a committee aimed at giving the disenfranchised membership direct management of the management and direction of Scouts Canada.
Early growth
Scouter Mike Reid's email in early August, 2004 caught the attention of many inside Scouts Canada who sent the email on to others they knew. The new association also caught the interest of the media. Reid did eleven interviews with various CBC Radio stations across Canada. In early September, he was interviewed on the Rafe Mair Show on the Vancouver radio station 600am. Scouts Canada' Chief Commissioner, Mike Scott was interviewed following Reid and, while acknowledging that SCOUT eh! members were dedicated to Scouting, he rejected democracy and the possibility of a dialogue with SCOUT eh! members. This media publicity combined with word-of-mouth contributed to SCOUT eh!'s early rapid growth.
The first SCOUT eh! gathering, referred to as CAMP eh! was held September 24-26, 2004 at Camp Timken near Iona in Ontario. Two-dozen Scouters including Scouters from Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland gathered to learn about the issues, discuss strategy, and draft a constitution for the association.
Following CAMP eh!, SCOUT eh! published a series of backgrounders and short videos on its web site. Members continued to spread the word with fellow Scouters. Some newspaper stories spread word further. They also held a ratification vote on their constitution and, following its ratification, elections for leadership positions. This constituted the first democratic governance for a national association of Scouting members in Canada. The first National Officers were Mike Reid as Chair, Ted Claxton as Treasurer, and Liam Morland as Secretary.
Scouts Canada AGM 2004
By early November, Scouts Canada changed their approach to SCOUT eh!. Ted Claxton was invited to speak at the Scouts Canada Annual General Meeting on November 27, 2005 at Camp Samac in Oshawa, Ontario. SCOUT eh! organized its first eh!GM (AGM) at Durham College that weekend. Fifty SCOUT eh! members attended including Scouters from British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Following their meeting, SCOUT eh! members paraded to Camp Samac for the Scouts Canada AGM.
Ted Claxton addressed the meeting. Following his address, Mike Scott invited SCOUT eh! to submit a proposal to the Board of Governors regarding governance. The meeting had a friendly and conciliatory atmosphere.
As invited, SCOUT eh! submitted a governance proposal to the Board of Governors in January, 2005. In March, Mike Scott sent a response indicating that they had reviewed the proposal and believed it to be unworkable, but that they had asked the Operations Advisory Committee to consider changes to the process for selecting the three Voting Members from each council. No changes have resulted from this.
SCOUT eh! has pressed ahead with membership growth and the publication of information on its web site, particularly detailed analysis of Scouts Canada's finances by SCOUT eh! member and accountant Joseph Grittani.
In June, 2005, SCOUT eh!'s National Officers met with Scouts Canada CEO Rob Stewart. Mr. Stewart put them in contact with Keith Martin, a member of the Board of Governors working on developing a policy regarding democracy in Scouting. A meeting with Mr. Martin was held the following August. No progress towards democracy has resulted from this meeting.
In September 2006, SCOUT eh! announced it had surpassed 700 members nationally.[3]
In 2007, Scouts Canada announced Policy 1014 [4] which requires that each council's Voting Members be elected by representatives of the council, and its areas and groups. While acknowledging that the system is an improvement, SCOUT eh! criticizes the policy because:
most members of voting age are still not allowed to vote
votes are distributed in an unequal manner which favors councils, areas, and small groups
Ordinary Members remain many levels removed from the decision-making process of the Board of Governors, resulting in mis-communication[5]

Białuty – dawna gromada, czyli najmniejsza jednostka podziału terytorialnego Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej w latach 1954–1972.

Gromady, z gromadzkimi radami narodowymi (GRN) jako organami władzy najniższego stopnia na wsi, funkcjonowały od reformy reorganizującej administrację wiejską przeprowadzonej jesienią 1954 do momentu ich zniesienia z dniem 1 stycznia 1973, tym samym wypierając organizację gminną w latach 1954–1972.

Gromadę Białuty z siedzibą GRN w Białutach  utworzono – jako jedną z 8759 gromad na obszarze Polski – w powiecie działdowskim w woj. olsztyńskim na mocy uchwały nr 12 WRN w Olsztynie z dnia 4 października 1954. W skład jednostki weszły obszary dotychczasowych gromad Białuty, Dźwierznia i Purgałki ze zniesionej gminy Iłowo w powiecie działdowskim oraz obszar dotychczasowej gromady Napierki ze zniesionej gminy Szkudaj w powiecie nidzickim w tymże województwie. Dla gromady ustalono 11 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej.

1 stycznia 1956 gromadę włączono do powiatu mławskiego w woj. warszawskim.

1 stycznia 1958 z gromady Białuty wyłączono wieś Napierki, włączając ją do gromady Powierz w powiecie nidzickim w woj. olsztyńskim, po czym gromadę Białuty zniesiono, a jej (pozostały) obszar włączono do gromady Iłowo w powiecie mławskim w woj. warszawskim.

$100 million gift by Lululemon founder Chip Wilson to fund research for muscle disorder
The Vancouver billionaire and Lululemon founder, whose donation is among the largest philanthropic gifts in B.C. and Canadian history, says he was diagnosed with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy at the age of 32
Chip Wilson, with wife Summer Wilson, recently announced that he has committed $100 million and created a new venture, Solve FSHD, with the objective of finding a cure for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) by 2027.
Chip Wilson, one of B.C.'s wealthiest businessmen, is making a $100-million US commitment to fund research on facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that leads to the weakening of muscles on the face, shoulder blades and upper arms.
The donation announced recently is among the largest philanthropic gifts in B.C. It will fully fund a new venture called Solve FSHD and its goal of finding a cure by 2027.
Wilson, who made his fortune selling yoga clothing as founder of Lululemon Athletica, was diagnosed with FSHD at age 32.
The 67-year-old had to stop playing squash 10 years ago because he could no longer lift a racquet over his head. He described his upper body as being "very wasted."
"There has been a real downturn my last four months. I can walk for maybe an hour, an hour and a half, but I am listing to one side, and I look like an old man. If it continues this way, I suspect I will be in a wheelchair in seven or eight years," he said in an interview.
Most cases of FSHD start in young people before the age of 20 when muscles around the eyes and mouth, shoulders, stomach, upper arms and lower legs start to atrophy, usually on one side only. There is currently no cure and treatment is focused on managing symptoms. The condition is estimated by the FSHD Society in the U.S. to affect 870,000 individuals worldwide, although the actual number may be higher due to undiagnosed cases.
The commitment by Wilson is of a magnitude that will make it a "game-changer," said Neil Carmarta, a Calgary-based executive who was part of establishing the FSHD Canada Foundation around 10 years ago to fund more research toward a cure.
"Over the years, the amount of money that's been put to FSHD research has been maybe $5 million US a year (worldwide), and some years not even that much. You don't find drug companies investing in it like COVID or cancer. Governments aren't supporting it heavily because, again, there are not that many people with my disease. It's a rare disease. It's up to us to find a solution."
His foundation had been pulling together about $1 million a year and investing in research. But it would be "$50,000 here and $100,000 there" to spur research done at universities in Canada, the U.S. and overseas
He said the timing is right for a move like this that will "add more spin on the ball. We are not drifting around trying to figure out what to do. We understand how the disease works and what causes it. … Now we got to find a solution. We're doubling down on finding out how we are going to cure it."
Solve FSHD will fund scientists, biotech and biopharma start-up companies and other specialists who want to conduct research and clinical trials in a way that moves the effort quickly beyond what Carmarta described as being "small bets here and there, drips and drabs." It plans to offer a "prize" in the $30-million range to an individual or organization that succeeds in finding a cure.
Bloomberg's Billionaire Index pegs Wilson among the 500 richest people in the world, with a net worth of $5.68 billion US. Lululemon Athletica is headquartered in Vancouver and listed on the Nasdaq exchange with a market cap of $36.88 billion US. Wilson no longer has a management role at the company, but continues to be one of the largest individual shareholders.
The size of Wilson's commitment to fund FSHD research is comparable to a donation recently made earlier by Henry Kravis, the co-founder of New York investment company KKR & Co., who has a net worth of $11.5 billion, and his wife, economist Marie-Josee Kravis. They gave $100 million US to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to study the relapse of cancer.
Wilson's family charitable foundation, which is known as Wilson 5 Foundation and also headed by his wife, Summer Wilson, has in the past made donations to support land conservancy, park creation and the sharing of public art.
In September 2021, it made a $6-million donation to The Nature Trust of B.C. to buy a 2.8-hectare property at the mouth of the Englishman River in Parksville. It was the largest land conservancy gift the foundation had made to date. The foundation also made an $8-million contribution to fund the Chip and Shannon Wilson School of Design, focused on high-tech clothing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Lululemon also donated an additional $4 million to the school. In the arts, the foundation spent $1.5 million to keep the work of Chinese sculptor Yue Min-jun, "A-maze-ing Laughter", on public display in English Bay. They also donated $250,000 to save the Trans Am Totem near Science World. The couple founded imagine1day and have poured about $20 million into building schools and supporting the education of girls in Ethiopia.

Q: Developer tool for configuring IIS6 edit: IIS6; I'm not sure IIS7 is an option in the immediate future...
From a developer angle, I am constantly changing my IIS settings, or need to merge settings from other teams into different VMs. The "Save Configuration to Disk" has never really worked well for me.
Because we are making lots of small changes, web installation projects have never really worked either... Tools aimed for the web-admin aren't necessarily a good fit for the developer - we have different aims and needs.
Does anyone have a script / tool / utility that would allow us to quickly configure IIS? In particular:

*

*remove everything (start clean)

*add a load of virtual directories, each mapped to application base paths

*set as an application

*set the app-pool (we'll assume the app pool already exists)

*set the ASP.NET version to 2.x if needed

from some find of flat input list (any format would do).

A: PowerShell with the IIS administration snapin?

A: I'm a bit late to the show but I thought this PowerShell script my be useful, be aware I only use this for my local development box so apologies for the magic numbers.
AuthFlags = 4 is integrated authorisation
It doesn't exactly fulfil Marc's requirements but it's a good start.
If you download WMI Tools you can use them to explore the WMI interface to the IIS metabase.
function CreateAppPool($poolName,$userName,$password)
{
    [wmiclass] $appPoolSettings = "root\MicrosoftIISv2:IISApplicationPoolSetting";
    $newPool = $appPoolSettings.CreateInstance();
    $newPool.Name = "W3SVC/AppPools/" + $poolName;
    $newPool.WAMUsername = $userName;
    $newPool.WAMUserPass = $password;
    $newPool.AppPoolIdentityType = 3;
    $newPool.Put();
    # Do it again if it fails as there is a bug with Powershell/WMI
    if (!$?)
    {
        $newPool.Put();
    }
}

function CreateWebsite($webSiteName, $path, $port, $appPoolName)
{
    [wmiclass] $bindingClass = 'root\MicrosoftIISv2:ServerBinding';
    $bindings = $bindingClass.CreateInstance();
    $bindings.Port = $port;
    $webService = Get-WmiObject -namespace "root\MicrosoftIISv2" -class "IIsWebService";
    $webSite = $webService.CreateNewSite($webSiteName, $bindings, $path);
    [int] $index = $webSite.ReturnValue.IndexOf("'") + 1;
    [int] $length = $webSite.ReturnValue.Length - $index - 1;
    [string] $websiteID = $webSite.ReturnValue.SubString($index, $length)  + "/root";
    $webVirtualDirSetting = Get-WmiObject -namespace "root\MicrosoftIISv2" -class "IIsWebVirtualDirSetting" | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $websiteID};
    $webVirtualDirSetting.AppFriendlyName = $webSiteName;
    $webVirtualDirSetting.AppPoolId = $appPoolName;
    $webVirtualDirSetting.AccessFlags = 517;
    $webVirtualDirSetting.AuthFlags = 4;
    $webVirtualDirSetting.Put();

    #Switch the Website to .NET 2.0
    C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -sn W3SVC/
}

$webSiteName = "MyWebsiteName";
$webSitePath = "C:\MyWebsitePath";
$webSitePort = "9001";
$appPoolName = "MyWebsitePool";
$appPoolIdentity = "MYDESKTOP\MyWebsiteIdentity";
$appPoolPassword = "MyWebsitePassword";

CreateAppPool $appPoolName $appPoolIdentity $appPoolPassword
CreateWebsite $webSiteName $webSitePath $webSitePort $appPoolName

A: I can think of three options off the top of my head...

*

*Powershell snap-in.

*the AdsUtil.vbs (located in C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts by default) will enable you to script those tasks into a batch file, or you could even call it from powershell if you don't have the time to invest learning the WMI interface for IIS.

*MSBuild script.  Probably harder to configure but the MSBuild Extension Pack provides some tasks for managing both IIS6 and IIS7 from a MSBuild script.

I think if it was me needing to do this, I would use Powershell, or remove the need all together and create a base VM install that had all the basics already configured in.  When I'm done with teasting I'd just rollback the harddrive and be free to go again.

A: Powershell would work. If you wanted to avoid dependencies, you could also generate a script to run against AdsUtil.vbs.
Probably easier would be standardizing on IIS7 where all this stuff lives in web.config files making life alot easier.

A: You may want to look into the Metabase XML config files for IIS and allowing direct edit.

Democrats are planning for Pelosi's expected exit from House leadership, Hakeem Jeffries seen as favorite to lead caucus: report

With Speaker Nancy Pelosi's expected exit from leadership, Democratic leaders ponder the future.
House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries is seen as the favorite to succeed Pelosi.
Democrats have had the same leadership team in the top three positions for almost 20 years.
When Democrats regained control of the House in 2018, 16 party members signed a letter expressing opposition to Nancy Pelosi's ascension to the speakership.
At that point, Pelosi had led the House Democratic Caucus since 2003 — and had previously served as speaker from 2007 to 2011 — and despite the pushback, she still had broad support from most members.
In December 2018, Pelosi came to an agreement that would limit her tenure to four years as speaker, and she went on to earn the support of many of the moderate and newly elected lawmakers who were initially resistant to her leadership.
The speaker can point to many consequential pieces of legislation that she shepherded through the House, including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act. She also muscled President Joe Biden's domestic agenda through a closely divided House.
But with the 2022 midterm elections in sight, Pelosi, 81, is expected to leave her post at the end of the current Congress, with Democrats anticipating a leadership shift that may define their party for years to come as a new generation takes hold, The Washington Post reported.
For as long as Pelosi has led the caucus, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, 82, has served as both the majority leader and minority whip, while Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, 81, has been the majority whip and the party's assistant Democratic leader.
In the coming years, though, the party's House leadership is set to be dramatically different.
Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York and Katherine Clark of Massachusetts.
'He's brilliant, he's smooth, but he is fearless'
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the current chair of the House Democratic Caucus, is the favorite to succeed Pelosi when she steps down from her position, but a debate over who will serve in leadership has just started and may expose a gulf between progressives and moderates, The Post reported.
With a growing progressive wing of the party coming into its own, there may be a reckoning on how the party plans to counter the GOP, which is still overwhelmingly defined by the influence of former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Ro Khanna of California, a progressive who's been an influential liaison to the Biden White House, told The Post that the next generation of leadership would have to listen intently to members.
"I think we want leadership that bridges some of the different ideological wings of the party, that is committed to listening to all of the perspectives, that will be capable of helping move the Senate or things that have stalled in the House, and has a bold vision of what we need to achieve for the American public," he said.
He continued, "But whoever it is, I hope they would adopt progressive positions and also listen to the broad caucus and build consensus."
The Post interviewed over two dozen lawmakers, with members expressing deep respect for Pelosi. But some lawmakers were also eager for a different leadership style.
Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, a moderate, wanted to see a leader in the mold of Pelosi.
"I want to make sure that it is someone who can pull the party together," he told the Post.
"As Pelosi says: 'Our diversity is our strength, and unity is our power.' I want to make sure it's someone who can hold that unity," he continued.
But Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, suggested that a more decentralized nucleus of power might prove to be more effective.
"I think there was a 'holding of power' model that worked very well for a long time, and I think now it is more about a recognition of different centers of focus within the Democratic caucus that have to be brought in and brought together," she told The Post.
Members interviewed by The Post said Pelosi's replacement should also be as historically significant as her status as the chamber's first female speaker.
If Jeffries succeeds Pelosi, he will become the first Black person in US history to lead a chamber of Congress.
The members who were interviewed by The Post overwhelmingly viewed Jeffries as a skilled communicator, and one lawmaker who backed Jeffries' ascension spoke of his style in glowing terms.
"He's brilliant, he's smooth, but he is fearless," the lawmaker said. "I mean, if we are fighting for something, I want Hakeem Jeffries on my side because he will go to the mat on an issue."
Hoyer and Rep. Adam Schiff, whose national profile has soared as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, were both eyeing a run to succeed Pelosi, The Post reported.
And Reps. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Pete Aguilar of California were seen as part of the next contingent of House leaders, the report said.
A major concern that has been raised among members is that huge changes could result in the loss of stability that has come to define the Democratic caucus under Pelosi, Hoyer, and Clyburn — as opposed to the House Republican Caucus, which is often mired in infighting.
"She understands how to get things done and how to keep us together, even if it looks a little bit messy from the outside," a Democratic member told The Post.
When Pelosi was asked during a November 2020 news conference if she would relinquish the speaker's gavel after the 117th Congress, she pointed to her prior commitment.
"What I said then is whether it passes or not, I will abide by those limits that are there," she said.

Christmas is really a busy season for tour operators in the Grand Gorge. So, bear in mind, if you are planning for a trip then which includes a helicopter flight, you ought to get your tour booked ahead of time. It does not matter should you leave Vegas or even the South Rim, the tours are likely to fill fast, so it's wise to obtain your tour booked over the following two days approximately.
You are able to book your tour for just about any day's the vacation aside from Xmas Day. Flights from Vegas could be air-only or landing tours, while flights in the South Rim in Arizona are air-only tours.
The tours that leave Vegas are typically the most popular because there's a large choice in tours and possibilities. All of the air tours provide spectacular scenic views including an incredible aerial look at the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead in order to the Gorge. Should you book an aura-only tour, you'll fly within the rim and go back to Vegas, however if you simply purchase a landing tour, you'll visit the Gorge and explore it on the floor too.
If you wish to have a landing tour, you need to consider booking one which arrives at the Gorge floor. For example, one fun bottom landing tour has a champagne picnic along with a scenic boat ride around the Colorado River.
There are more landing tours that get you to the top rim where one can view scenic vistas from lookout points, and go out around the Skywalk viewing platform. The Skywalk is a big platform that hangs within the side from the rim so that you can go out 70 ft beyond the edge. Whenever you get up on the woking platform, you can examine the transparent floor to the foot of the Gorge 4000 ft below you.
When you begin searching at tours, you will find they are offered as luxurious or fundamental versions. The fundamental tours lift removed from Boulder City, that is just outdoors of Vegas, and also the luxurious tours remove in the Strip, but next, both of them stick to the same flight path around the tours. The luxurious tours even include complimentary transportation back and forth from the helipad inside a limousine. EcoStar 130 choppers can be used for the luxurious tours, that are bigger helicopters than individuals utilized on fundamental tours. The EcoStar offers superior sightseeing because of the huge wraparound car windows and also the seating arrangement that enables every seat to possess a great view. The luxurious tour does are more expensive, but you will be treated towards the best experience possible in your flight, therefore the charges are worthwhile.
You will not have the ability to have a landing tour in the South Rim, however these tours compensate for that since they're so scenic because this area of the Gorge is mainly remote backwoods. These tours leave the South Rim and fly towards the isolated North Rim before heading back, however, should you book a 50-minute tour, your helicopter flies to the eastern border from the park too. Fundamental and luxurious tours take presctiption offer in the South Rim, even though these tours come from Arizona, if you are in Vegas you can include an plane ride for your package that can take you against Vegas to Arizona in which you start your helicopter flight.
A South Rim tour is a superb choice if you're a nature lover and wish to see beautiful vistas. Whenever you take this longer tour, you'll fly over 75 % from the park, actually, you will see scenery that lots of people to the Gorge not have the opportunity to see, so touring the South Rim is worthwhile.
It is best to dress yourself in layers whenever you go to the Gorge over Christmas because it may be chilly throughout the winter several weeks. There's heating and cooling within the helicopters, however, you still may want to put on a sweater to remain nice comfortable on your flight. Wearing layers is better whenever you have a landing tour because it may be chilly, or it may be suddenly warm at the time of the tour.

Buying online together with your charge card locks inside your tour so that your seats is going to be on tour day. Whatever tour you choose to take, you will have the opportunity to see certainly one of America's most breathtaking natural landmarks on the thrilling air tour, and there's no better method to celebrate the Christmas holiday if you wish to make special recollections for the family.

Whether Kameir is examining the ways in which people interact and engage online, reviewing the latest releases from artists like Beyoncé and Rihanna, or fleshing out an essay about a personal experience, every single word will have you nodding your head (most likely in agreement) with her. She's interviewed everyone from members of OVO to YouTuber Scola Dondo. This month, Kameir published her first ever cover story on Davido for The FADER's Global Issue.
None of this was a part of Kameir's original plan though. Like any postgraduate college student, Kameir was on the hunt to find a full-time job, but found herself empty-handed. Instead, she decided to enrol at Columbia University to get a master's degree in journalism.
"After Columbia, I did a few things here or there, often writing for free, but my first real job as a writer was when I moved to London and wound up working for a company that owned several tech sites," says Kameir. "I wrote about things that I already knew a fair bit about—social media, mobile phones, music streaming, and technology—and things that I knew absolutely nothing about—servers, processors, Internet regulation, and EU policy. I did that for a year and, even when I hated it, I learned a whole lot."
From there, she wound up moving back to Toronto and started freelancing. "Pretty much all of my freelance gigs came from friends, friends of friends, or editors reaching out based on things I tweeted; all of that work led to more work," Kameir explained. "Which was nice, because I like to think it means the stuff I was publishing had some merit, but mostly it was nice because I'm horrible at cold pitching and did very little of it. I regret that!"
And now here she is, shaping the culture that we live and breath. It's almost hard to believe that Kameir has only been writing about music and culture "for real-for real" for about three years, but time doesn't measure talent. Learn more about Kameir in the interview, below.
How do you manoeuvre your industry as a black woman?
I try to manoeuvre it how I manoeuvre the world in general: by doing the work, by treating others with kindness and respect and working to earn their kindness and respect in return. But, as in life, there are boundaries I've had to establish, and I approach things prepared to speak my piece or turn down assignments if they make me uncomfortable. I remind myself that being a black woman means I have a perspective that most of the people I work with do not have. For all of the structural obstacles, being myself is an advantage.
Could you describe a moment where you felt like you defied the odds/broke a barrier?
When I was covering tech, I was once sent on a press trip to Prague to visit the headquarters of an antivirus software company. I think I was 24 or 25 at the time and I remember walking into this conference room full of middle-aged white men—the executives, the programmers, and also the other journalists on the trip. I think the only other woman there was the PR rep. It wasn't so much that I felt like I defied any odds. I just remember, not even intentionally, writing in the margins of my notes some of the things that made me different from the men in that room: black, Arab, woman, Muslim, African, immigrant, young. Those are a lot of things to have working against you, so to speak.
How did you grow into your identity?
I was in born in Sudan and lived in Côte d'Ivoire until I was 15 (and in Egypt and Tunisia until I was 17). Racial identity in all of those countries looks different than it does in the U.S. For me, I think in part because of my father's politics and because I was raised to be sensitive to the role of race in the context of the Sudanese civil war, I always identified as black; until very recently, I rejected the Arab part of my culture and background because I felt uncomfortable with it.
But the idea of what it means to be black—I internalized a lot of that from being rap obsessive, from the mainstream black culture in the U.S. as it spread to Africa through movies and TV shows, from reading extensively about American history which we studied a lot at my school. As a kid, I always was drawn to politics, and the literature that was available to me was about Americans: Huey P., Assata Shakur, Angela Davis. I'm not African-American, globalization made American blackness feel like the dominant and most acceptable form of blackness, so it wasn't until I was 16 or 17 that I realized it was okay to have a black identity separate from that. God bless all the lil' babies these days who have the Internet to teach them that at a way younger age.
Growing up, where did you look for inspiration? Who or what inspires you now?
I looked to my parents, to my family, to the parents of my friends. My mom went to college when she was 14 and had completed her PhD when she was 23. She's a genius and has hella professional achievements, but she's also kind and generous, and very, very cool. Her dad, my late grandfather, too, was always an inspiration. A brilliant man who until his death was active in intellectual circles and always writing, reading, and thinking.
But the real inspiration was that they, as well as my dad, always believed that there could be peace after war, that the world could become a better place, and that we had some sort of social duty to help it get there. They inspire me always, but today I also look to my friends and to all the brilliant Tumblr teens.

Ups and downs are a normal part of life. We all feel a bit stressed out or struggle to cope with a problem from time to time. We all get angry once in a while or find it hard to express our needs assertively. Most of us could use a little help finding balance, getting enough sleep, and getting active.
You may notice that these kinds of problems can take a toll on the way you feel. When you feel a lot of stress, it can be hard to feel optimistic about the future. When you feel overwhelmed by a problem, it's easy to feel like nothing ever works out. When you struggle to balance different needs and obligations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and frustrated. These Wellness Modules aren't about managing a mental illness or other concern (though they can certainly help!) They are simply four short pages to help you maximize good mental health and well-being so you feel your best.
Each Wellness Module breaks down a different factor related to mental health and well-being. You'll explore different evidence-based skills to help you work through common problems. Don't be fooled—some of these skills aren't as simple as they appear! But if you're willing to dedicate a bit of time and effort, you'll find that good mental health is in everyone's reach. We encourage you to take advantage of the quizzes in some Wellness Modules to help you track your progress.
