In my career, I was a defensive forward who shadowed all of the team's top players: Lemaire's line in Montreal, Espo's in Boston, Ratelle's in New York, the French Connection. During one game in 1975, Dave Forbes of Boston was checking me, getting his elbows up a little. I let it go until he ran me in the corner. I stopped short, and when he came flying in, I grabbed him and knocked him down. Terry O'Reilly came over and jumped me and we all went to the box for five, plus a misconduct. We sat there stewing for 15 minutes; I remember Orr had done something and was in there, too. Looking back, I guess I'd embarrassed him, and because Don Cherry was his coach, I knew it wasn't the end of it. When we got out of the box, I looked away for a moment, and then Murray Oliver shouted: "Look out!" Forbes had come on my right side from behind and he threw a punch as I turned around. Blood was spurting everywhere, my cheekbone crumpled. I went down in survival mode and I knew I was hurt.
Forbes jumped on my back and started hitting me. It was awful. I had a cracked bone around my eye and double vision. After the game, Forbes was charged with aggravated assault for hitting someone with a club. During the trial, 10 voted for conviction, one abstained, and one voted no, so it was a hung jury. When I went to the NHLPA to get help, Alan Eagleson wouldn't return my calls. They were no help at all. I sued out of court and the suit was finally settled in 1980, but it ruined my chance to stay with another team. Ray Miron and the Colorado Rockies knew I had a suit coming and they wanted to nothing to do with me. They told the coach not to play me. I dressed for nine games and then decided to quit.
Blood was spurting everywhere, crumpling my cheekbone. I went down in survival mode and I knew I was hurt.
After leaving hockey, I was devastated that I couldn't play. I felt self-pity and depression. I was 25 years old walking out a door and into a world I didn't know. I went to Seattle and filled out an employment form and realized I had no experience doing anything outside of working at Marvin Windows. I invested in a meat store in Spokane, but I was in a state of depression. I starting drinking heavily and did drugs and got divorced. The store went under. I didn't know what to do, so I went to Idaho. I had no purpose or passion. One day, I found myself walking on a mountain bank when I found a whole golden eagle in a snowbank. Because of what the eagle represents in Aboriginal culture, I knew it was a symbol that something significant was going to happen, and when I returned for a visit to the place where I grew up – Warroad, Minnesota– my oldest daughter from my first marriage told me that she wanted to live with me. I settled at home and started coaching and working in a school district, doing work with Indian Affairs and family services.
The eagle had brought me back.
Such a brutal end to a career. Glad things turned around for and with the Eagle.

Piping opinion onto the Internet cake.
Daily Archives: September 2, 2016
If you take my advice there's nothing so nice as messing about on the river
The professed goal of Gaijin's War Thunder has always been to include air, land and sea combat; it started with aircraft and added ground forces a while back, but there had been little word about naval units (apart from an aquatic April Fool's aside). Nobody was sure how naval battles might work in War Thunder; the most obvious comparison would be to Wargaming's Worlds of Tanks, Warplanes and Warships, the latter having launched last year. It's rather fun, with destroyers, cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers merrily lofting shells, torpedoes and aircraft at each other.
War Thunder is a slightly different beast, though, hewing a touch closer to realism. For Wargaming gameplay and balance come first (though with a firm historical basis; they invest in museums and employ a full-time consultant in Nicholas Moran); Gaijin try more to replicate the historical performance of vehicles (though still within the context of an action game, to a varying extent across the different modes, as opposed to a perfect recreation of historical events). Neither approach is inherently better, incidentally, regardless of the spittle-flecked ravings of mighty forum warriors on both sides. Large scale naval battles tended to be rather drawn-out affairs, so World of Warships speeds things up to keep the action going. Destroyers in particular zip around very nippily, though if you're in one of the slower battleships before engine upgrades it can feel like you're limping after the rest of your team wheezing "wait for me!"
War Thunder also features combined arms, players currently flying aircraft and driving tanks in the same battle, where Wargaming has kept the three Worlds Of… completely separate. That allows them to take a fairly abstract approach to aircraft carriers in WoWS, with squadrons/flights of aircraft acting as a single entity guided by the carrier captain.
Gaijin's announcement last month revealed that, after internal testing showed the difficulties of player controlled capital ships in combined battles, they are taking a slightly different tack for their first naval units and focusing on smaller vessels: patrol boats, motor torpedo boats and such. Coastal units are often overlooked, both by navies themselves and naval historians, but they're a really interesting part of the war. Rock Paper Shotgun's Tim Stone mentioned Peter Markham Scott's "The Battle of the Narrow Seas" in a column last year, a first hand account of British Coastal Forces originally published in 1945 and a fascinating read. The scale certainly makes sense for working alongside existing units in combined arms battles, so though some players are disappointed that they won't get to set sail in massive battleships it'll be most interesting to see how it all works out. Some wallpapers have just been released showing Gaijin's customary attention to detail in modelling; this Fairmile D MGB looks rather splendid:

Carriera
Settimo di nove fratelli, Milani iniziò a correre nel 1949, disputando alcune gare di Regolarità con una Lambretta. Il 1951 vide il pilota milanese fare il suo debutto nella Velocità, sempre con lo scooter Innocenti. Nel 1953 Milani partecipò al rinato Giro Motociclistico d'Italia con una Sterzi 175, terminando al terzo posto di classe; in quella stagione vincerà anche a Pescara. La stagione seguente vide Milani ingaggiato dalla Mondial: con le 125 e 175 monoalbero della Casa dei conti Boselli il pilota lombardo otterrà diverse vittorie. In seguito a questi brillanti risultati Milani passerà nel 1955 a disputare l'Italiano Seniores. Le stagioni 1955 e 1956, però, saranno avare di soddisfazioni per il centauro milanese, penalizzato da alcune decisioni della Mondial, come il doppio ritiro al Motogiro e alla Milano-Taranto '55.

Il 1956 vide anche l'esordio di Milani nel Motomondiale, sotto le insegne della MV Agusta, al GP delle Nazioni classe 125, nel quale si ritirò per caduta. Nella stagione seguente fu chiesto a Milani di ridiventare Juniores: vincerà l'Italiano della 500 con l'MV 4 cilindri. Ritornato Seniores, il 1958 vide ancora Milani in MV, per la quale corse appena tre gare. Tra il 1959 e il 1961 corse con Paton, Norton, Honda (fu il primo europeo a portare in gara la 250 4 cilindri nipponica, al "Nazioni" 1960), Benelli e Bianchi. Nel 1962 passò all'Aermacchi come meccanico, pilota e collaudatore, dove resterà fino al termine della carriera.

Milani sarà prima guida dell'Aermacchi, ottenendo diversi piazzamenti con il modello Ala d'Oro nelle classi 250, 350 e 500. La sua annata migliore nel Mondiale fu il 1969, quando sfiorò la vittoria al GP di Jugoslavia della 350, battuto in volata dalla Jawa di Silvio Grassetti. La successiva gara della 500 lo vide di nuovo in testa finché non cadde a causa dell'asfalto reso viscido dalla pioggia. La caduta segnò il ritiro di Milani dalle competizioni ma non dall'ambiente delle corse, divenendo Direttore Sportivo Aermacchi. Con il nuovo ruolo accompagnerà l'ascesa delle RR 250-350 bicilindriche due tempi, pilotate prima da Renzo Pasolini e successivamente da Walter Villa. Con l'avvento della Cagiva, Milani continuò ad operare nel Reparto Corse di Schiranna, dapprima seguendo la 500 da GP e poi le Mito 125 nel campionato Sport Production.

Oru Cinemakkaran is Leo Thaddeus' third trip as a movie producer. The executive in him has completed a great job in showing what the content requested. He has possessed the capacity to keep the film connecting with, particularly in a portion of the successions in the first half. The executive in him has settled on various methodologies for both the parts.
1. The first half is a bit exaggerated but the second part covers it all.

The incidence of breast cancer is 0.8%.
The mammogram comes back "positive". What is the probability that the woman has breast cancer?
In a recent study, a stunning majority of doctors tested (22/24) could not answer this question correctly.
if, anything, soft-pedals the issue, for it seems that a shocking proportion of doctors themselves don't understand garden-variety medical statistics.
Matters improved considerably, when the data was presented in terms of "natural", rather than conditional probabilities (11/24 doctors in the "control group" got the above question right, when it was thus reframed). But that's not the way this sort of data is conventionally presented to medical practitioners (let alone to patients).
The authors would like to believe that — if one could only "frame" the information in the right way, all would be well with the world. But I don't see it.
2) Say various factors put the woman in a high risk group for breast cancer. Rather than the 0.8% risk faced by the general population, she faces a 2.4% risk of breast cancer. If the test comes back positive, what is the probability now that she has breast cancer?
Maybe patients don't need to understand this stuff (though that makes a mockery of "informed consent"), but doctors surely do.
And it scares the bejeesus out of me that they, apparently, don't.
Tip 'o the hat to Chris Bertram at Crooked Timber for making my day.
I couldn't agree more. We make such irrational decisions when such great data is available. Your example about breast cancer is a good one. There are many other examples around fear too. What should a person worry about more… their plane crashing or drowning in a pool in their backyard? Clearly people worry about the former but the latter has a much hight probability of happening.
The issue that many times an benign fibroid cyst leads to fears of the worst. My wife has had two taken out only to find that the surgeries were unneccesary. But with the love of my life I do not want to take any chances.
Life without her is not an option.

HONOR 70 Review | Best Android Phone for Vloggers
by David C Cave
Looking for a new mobile device to use for video production? Is the HONOR 70 really the best choice for you? A mobile device that was developed for the exclusive purpose of filming and watching videos. Vloggers will love the Honor 70. It includes a top-notch back camera that can record 4K video and take crisp, clear photos, and it's packed with features that make vlogging easier than ever. Here, I'll outline the reasons why the Honor 70 is the best smartphone for making Vlogs.
This phone's many useful features make it a good choice for anyone in the market for a new mobile phone.
HONOR 70 Overview
Packaging of HONOR 70
7 Special Features of HONOR 70
1- Excellent camera
2- Large screen
3- Long-lasting, fast-charging battery
4- The reasonable price
5- Satisfactory Software
6- Better vlogging experience
7- Stylish Layout
The HONOR 70 has a 6.67-inch curved OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. There is a maximum refresh rate of 120 hertz. A display like that is ideal for video playback, video capture, and live streaming.
This phone's lightning-quick performance is courtesy of its Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus octa-core central processing unit. The system is Magic UI 6.1, which has many useful features.
The HONOR 70 also has plenty of room to keep all of your recordings and pictures safe and sound. Options include 8GB + 128GB or 8GB + 256GB of storage.
You'll definitely stand out from the crowd with this phone because of its modern and sophisticated design. Crystal silver, Icelandic frost, midnight black, and emerald green are all on-trend colors.
The HONOR 70 arrives packaged in a sleek cardboard box with the HONOR brand prominently displayed on the front. Inside, the phone and its accessories are safely stored in separate compartments.
In the box you will find:
HONOR 70 Phone
SuperCharger (66W Fast Charging)
Cable for USB Type-C Ports
Front Glass Cover
Armor-Plated Polyurethane (TPU) Case
Eject Tool
Quick Start Guide (Basic Instructions)
There are seven reasons why you should buy an HONOR 70, which we've listed below. Watch for new information!
Everyone on Earth wants to have a life full of things they will never forget. Now that we live in the modern age, cameras make things easier by letting us take pictures of ourselves or make videos (called "vlogs"). Having a camera in the form of a mobile device could make you feel more comfortable. This will be the most interesting part for everyone.
One of the numerous benefits of the HONOR 70 is its high-quality camera. Don't miss it if you like to take pictures or make videos.
The phone's triple rear camera (54MP IMX800 Super Sensing Main Camera, 50MP Ultra Wide & Macro Main Camera, and 2MP Depth Camera) can capture images with a maximum resolution of 8768 x 6144 pixels. Details in both bright and dark settings can be captured with ease thanks to the HDR effect. The ultra-wide macro 2-in-1 lens lets you take pictures of large landscapes and rooms, and then it automatically switches to Super Macro Mode so you can take close-up pictures of small details.
The 32MP Super Clear Selfie Camera can take photos with a resolution of up to 6528 x 4896 pixels. The HDR effect in portrait mode has been fine-tuned so that you can take great photos in any lighting situation.
Further, vlogs may be shot with ease using HONOR 70 cameras. Both the front and back cameras are capable of recording in 1080P with EIS, with the back camera also recording in 4K. The Solo Cut Mode makes it easy to keep up with the main character, allowing you to focus on a specific character without having to move your phone. It can keep tabs on the main character even if they exit the screen and pick up where they left off when they return.
The wide screen of the HONOR 70 makes it perfect for watching movies and playing video games. The OLED display has a size of 6.67 inches and a resolution of 2400 by 1080 pixels, so it displays a good amount of detail. The end result is an immersive experience that is ideal for relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. In addition, the huge screen is wonderful for performing productive activities such as editing papers or browsing the internet. Because of the additional room, you will be able to have a number of windows open at the same time, which will make it simpler for you to work while you are traveling. The HONOR 70 is equipped with everything you might require, whether for business or for pleasure.
The HONOR 70 has a long-lasting battery life, making it an excellent choice for people who are constantly on the move. This is another one of the fantastic features of this device. Even with heavy use, the HONOR 70's battery, which has a capacity of 4800 mAh, should be able to easily survive a full day of use. Furthermore, the HONOR 70 has a 66W rapid charge that can charge the device to 60% capacity in just 20 minutes. The HONOR 70 is an excellent choice for anyone who requires a phone that can keep up with their busy lifestyle, regardless of whether or not they are constantly on the move.
After reading the four reasons presented above, you might be curious about the cost of the HONOR 70. Don't be concerned; if you are searching for a smartphone at a price that is within your budget, this is a fantastic option to consider. The phone offers several features that one would expect to find on a high-end smartphone, such as a camera with high quality, a quick processor, and plenty of storage space.
The HONOR 70 price in UAE is really fair, which makes it an outstanding buy for the money. The price of 8GB+128GB is only AED 1849. However, if you want 8GB+256GB instead, it will cost you AED 1999.
The HONOR 70 is a high-quality video recorder that comes with a number of cutting-edge features for making great videos.
The package comes with Magic UI 6.1, a customised version of the Android ANDROID 12 OS that is already on the HONOR 70. Most of the third-party apps, like Netflix and Tik Tok, that come pre-installed on the phone can be removed, and the phone only comes with a small number of them to start with. Aside from the new design of the user interface (UI), the interface hasn't changed too much and still has a high level of personalization. Regarding operating system updates, Honor has only promised to support Android versions for the next two years.
The HONOR 70's auto-tracking feature makes it possible to have the camera always focus on a single person. It only takes one click to shift the camera's attention to another person. In addition, the clever memory function will remember the protagonist and resume tracking once they re-enter the screen. The Solo Cut Mode on the HONOR 70 lets you make 1080p HD videos from both the solo and full-view perspectives at the same time.
The HONOR 70's superior video recording features will let you capture stunning footage, whether you're making a family documentary or a nature show.
One of the many benefits of the HONOR 70 is its attractive exterior. Different versions of the phone come in different hues, such as Crystal Silver, Icelandic Frost, Midnight Black, and Emerald Green.
The diamond design in crystal silver shines like the stars. The Icelandic Frost, with its inspiration from glaciers, creates a fantastic optical illusion. Emerald Green looks like the green of a thousand mountains. The color midnight black is vast, unending, and always on trend. There's always one of the four exteriors that suit you.
Overall, the HONOR 70 is a really wonderful mid-range phone with some high-end capabilities, and it is one of the best smartphones on the market for vloggers. It has tremendous features, an excellent camera, and remarkable performance all in one package. In addition, it is available at a price that is reasonable, which makes it a cost-effective option for vloggers who are working with a limited financial plan. Check out the Honor 70 if you're seeking a smartphone that won't break the bank but will assist you in reaching the next level with your vlogging endeavors. You needn't worry about being let down!

Q: Filtering Github issues created from task list Is there a way to filter(out) issues in issue search that are tracked by some other issue in Github?
Context:
We are using Github feature called Break issues into actionable tasks as listed here
This feature allows creating a new issue per task that you identify. Resulting in the creation of many issues that are not really issues in classical terms but are development tasks.
There are a few scenarios where we may want to exclude these issues. One of them is the triage process. During triage, we want to look at only original issues and without having to wade through numerous dev task issues.
Yes, we can create a label and (painstakingly) apply that label to each sub-issue and then filter out that label in the issue search. This is very error-prone too.
I was wondering if github provides a filter like tracked:true to isolate these issues. I am hopeful as github displays this linkage on sub-issue detail page as shown below:

It's been a couple weeks since I returned from my India & China adventure, but I wanted to make sure I got to share the last of my photo favorites! You can't visit the other side of the world and not share it, right? So here's to a trip around the world that I was Head Over Heels for!
I kid! I kid! But it was pretty hilarious :) Love that the waiter smiled for the photo too.
When our visit to India was over, it was time to head to Hong Kong for the next leg of our work trip. Once we got to the airport, we had a minor fiasco with India's airport security. A guard wasn't allowing one of my co-workers into the entrance lobby of the airport without a printed ticket. Isn't that what those kiosks are for once you get into the airport?!? Completely nuts, and annoying but thankfully we all boarded our Kingfisher Air flight- complete with tacky in-flight bar... weird.
Here's my first glimpse across Victoria Harbor. Sadly it was really foggy, bummer.
Later that evening we took the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbor to Hong Kong Island for dinner. We went to Good Luck Thai Restaurant located in the fun little Lan Kwai Fong district. The Pad Thai was amazing!!!
The next day we were able to do a little shopping in the local market. I got lots of goodies for my family there!
I noticed there were a lot of random street parades during the time we were there. Not sure what each one was for?
The next stop on our trip was to Shenzhen, China. Thankfully it was only an hour car van ride from Hong Kong... and a 40 minute wait to get through customs with our trunk hanging open.
Aside from just the hotel (Ritz Carlton Shenzhen), I loved the city, the warm weather, and the food! My favorite dinner of the whole trip was at a Schezwan restaurant near the fun Coco Park district (full of great bars and restaurants). I even ate an oyster for the first time!
The next stop on our trip was our last one- Shanghai!!! I was very excited to visit Shanghai because I had the opportunity to travel there last year and I loved it!
Funny, the above photo was taken at the same restaurant that we ate at in 2011- New Heights. This time we went there during the daytime, so I got a whole new perspective for the view.
The Bund was still dazzling!
I was able to get a fun video of the view and you can hear some of the music that was being filmed.
Later we got to go shopping in a fun little market area. I don't know the name of it, but it was all narrow little streets that winded around all over like a maze. It was crowded, but a cool experience. I even saw a "DIY" sign!
During one of our work days (which means lots of ours spent riding around in vans) we stopped in Hongzhou for lunch. The lake and gardens were beautiful!
...which also marked the end to our 17 day work trip, we did what any American should do in China- Karaoke!
That's a wrap on my adventures in India & China!
I have to also mention that I feel very lucky to have had the experience with these amazing folks from work (yes, all warm and fuzzy).
We made one heck of a team! I just should have been wearing my signature heels in any photo with them. My joke was always "hey, who brought the kid on the trip?" if I didn't have my extra added height, ha!
I bet you can see why it is this week's Head Over Heels post :) Hope you enjoyed the photos and a few fun stories from my trip! Now, onto a weekend full of projects!
Guest Room: "Afters".... Take 4!
This is sooooo long overdue, but our Guest Room is finally in one (beautiful) piece... finally!
The last time we ever mentioned our Guest Room was in this post, written before Thanksgiving last year. I had promised to show the "newest version" of our Guest Room, post tornado repair. I was wayyyyy off on that timing... I know, bad blogger! Since then I actually had most of the room set up and decorated but I kept thinking it wasn't complete or that it was missing something. I finally realized that it won't ever be completely perfect, and by then I will most likely want to change up the whole room (for the 5th time). Ha!
Guest Room Redo: Take 1, Action!
When we first moved in, the Guest Room was pale yellow with white carpet. We promptly started this redo by removing the icky old carpet and adding a closet door where one didn't exist (just had a curtain hanging).
After that Alex sanded and refinished the wood flooring and we painted the room Behr's Cumberland Fog. We fit a bed and a couple other pieces of furniture in there and called it good for the time being.
At least our guests had a place to sleep right? But yes, nothing special about version #1 of our Guest Room.
Guest Room Redo: Take 2, Action!
Alex and I got super lucky when it came to version #2. Layla and Kevin Palmer of The Lettered Cottage were in Minnesota and looking to redo a room for someone... and we were chosen! Woo-hoo!
Beautiful right? I loved all the vintage details and the way they set up everything we picked out while shopping. The Guest Room certainly came along way with their help!
Guest Room Redo: Take 3, Action!
Version #3 of our Guest Room wasn't very different from what Layla and Kevin did because I loved it so much. The only little changes were adding those DIY vintage grainsack window shades, a new textured white duvet cover, and I moved the vintage dressform into my dressing room/ sewing space.
The neighborhood was a complete mess, yuck, I hate looking back at these photos!
Guest Room Redo: Take 4, Action!
Once the ceiling was all closed up we started putting the room back together. Since we were starting from scratch we decided to change the way the furniture was set up and add a couple new items including these window sheers from Target and an antique mirror (that we removed some weird flowers from).
Hope you are ready for lots of photos now!
Here's a look at the whole room now (Shih Tzu not included). I guess the room is a little more feminine and elegant than the previous version?
Our biggest layout change was moving the bed away from the window and against the longest wall. I kept the same desk and chair but added in that new antique framed mirror.
I got this vintage framed wall hook from the St. Paul flea market more than a year ago for $18. Glad it finally has a home in the Guest Room, I just love it! So unique!
Our main reason for moving the bed against the longest wall was so we could hang that large vintage tin tile above the bed in place of a headboard.
I still can't believe we scored that tile for only $20! So perfect with our paint color.
I used two old stools from Ikea that we had in our basement as the nightstands on each side. I covered them with the vintage grainsacks that were formally used for the window shades. Our fun little creation was drilling a large hole into these old hardcover books and placing a candle in the center.
This chenille bedspread I picked up at a thrift store for $8.00! My grandma had one just like it in a pink/ white color combination, I couldn't resist! After washing and bleaching it looked fresh and beautiful. I love the pattern, texture and the little tassels around each side.
For the other wall art, I painted this little canvas that says "Sweet Dreams" and kept the widow's peak above it.
The metal wire charger and vintage grave marker also remained in their old spots.
Did you notice a certain fluffy, curious little cutie-pie sneaking into my Guest Room pictures? Ever since I added that faux sheepskin throw to that window seat, Rocco has made it his little afternoon lounging spot.
I was pretty shocked when he continued to sit there while I ran to grab the camera since he usually ruins cute photographic moments. Thankfully, I got a bunch of cute photos of him and I love that he became an accessory for the room, haha! He matches the color scheme and feel of the room pretty well, right?!?
What did you think of Guest Room version #4?
My parents are coming for an Easter weekend visit soon, can't wait to get actual Guest feeback then!
It has been five whole years since we packed up that 16 foot Penske truck and headed to Minneapolis to start our lives as "grown-ups".
Looking back now, I can't believe how much life has changed in those five years.
In 2007 I was 22 years old, geeked about accepting my first big job offer in the corporate world, moving to a bigger city with my hunky boyfriend, and of course making money for the first time (not counting minimum wage part time jobs in college). Just like Mary Tyler Moore, I was headed to Minneapolis and I was going to make it after all!!!!
At the time it felt like moving to Minneapolis was a happy ending to the "life after college story" story. But that was only the beginning of our story.
With the help of a relocation team, Alex and I settled into our first apartment. It was a little 1 bedroom/ studio apartment in downtown Minneapolis with a beautiful balcony view. Yes, we survived our first year living together in a studio type apartment- crazy! I don't have a ton of pictures of that apartment, these are the few that I have. You can see in the bottom left photo that there isn't a wall separating the living room and bedroom. So Alex and I didn't have much space to ourselves... goodbye SSB ("secret single behavior")!
Man, white and beige... everywhere! Barf! Funny to see how our style has evolved.
Anyway, the next step we took together was getting our first puppy. We found the cutest little Shih Tzu to take home and named him Rocco. Ugh, miss that cute little puppy size!
When our one year lease was up at the apartment, we decided to move into a slightly larger place downtown that offered more space and privacy for Alex and I. We fell in love with this ultra chic condo and settled into home #2. Again, I don't have the best photos of the condo decorated (most are of us holding Rocco like a baby) but you can see our style was very clean and modern... lots of Ikea all over the place.
A few months later, one of the most exciting events happened during a visit to Michigan. In the same location of our first spoken "I love you" to each other, Alex asked me to marry him.
By now you know I said yes.
Once we returned to Minneapolis and started wedding planning, we both realized that our condo wasn't going to be ideal for much longer. With the amount of stuff we were accumulating from/ for our wedding along with having to travel down 21 floors to take Rocco outside to pee made us realize it was time to get a house.
Three years ago on March 27th, we bought our first home and began moving in!
The day wasn't totally perfect (which is reflected in one of my first ever blog posts), but from that day on our DIY-ing and home renovation adventures began!!!
After I officially became Mrs. Zidarevich, we thought it was time to have a little one... errr... another little one, in the form of a puppy. Rocco got his first sibling when we brought home our little German Shorthair Pointer named Sadie.
Which then lead to some other cool opportunities related to our blog... like getting a room redo for a possible TV show from Layla and Kevin Palmer of The Lettered Cottage blog (huge fan!), filming a segment for a local documentary about our neighborhood, and getting connected with so many people in the blog world that love what I love!
Now, this post certainly doesn't cover everything from the last five years. Things like family visits, job promotions, trips, vacations, parties, etc., still happened and everday we are together brings new adventures along with ups and downs. But, I think that is a fun ~small~ glimpse of our story in the past five years making Minnesota home.
So there you have it, five years in a FLASH!
Are we "Minnesotan" now? You sure betcha don't cha know!

Why is the Configuration Dialog disabled in 64-bit FileMaker Pro 14 or 15 on OSX?
Note, the equals sign ( = ) is used in the calculation, but when viewed in the recipient's email, you will see a colon ( : ).
Also note, a return receipt may not always work. This relies on the recipient's email client to send the receipt email. Some email clients will ask the user if they want to send the receipt email, while others may simply ignore the header, so it is possible you may not always get the receipt email depending on the recipient.
This error is a very common error which comes from the mail server you are trying to send email through. Your mail server has an unsolicited email (SPAM) protection scheme enabled which is giving you this error. In the most general cases, a mail server will not allow you to send email through it if it does not "know" either the To or the From email address. What I mean by "know", is a mail server "knows" an email address if the email account for that email address is in that mail servers configuration files. Another way to put it is a mail server named "mail.dinosaur.com" would "know" the email address "bob@dinosaur.com", but would not "know" the email address "frank@flower.com".
Since the most common use of SMTPit is to send email to someone on the internet (instead of someone on your local mail server), the To email address is most likely not going to be "known" by your mail server. So, the first place to check in your database is what you are using as a From email address. Make sure that you are using a From email address that is associated with the SMTP Host you are connecting to (and that everything is spelled correctly).
If everything is correct, then there are some other things you can try. Some mail servers are a little more sophisticated than this and require extra things from you to make sure that you are allowed to send email. This is usually in the form of authenticating or "logging in" to your mail server. SMTPit Pro and classic SMTPit 3.0 have the ability to authenticate with your mail server. All you have to do is set the Authentication Type to something other than "None" and fill in your username and password. If you do not know the authentication type, you can either use the "Auto" type (only in SMTPit Pro), or contact your mail server administrator to find out the correct settings. After authenticating with your mail server, it should allow you to send email.
If you are having any sort of problem with Single Quotes, Double Quotes, or Apostrophes being changed into some other character or completely disappearing from your emails, the answer is most likely "Smart Quotes". These so-called "Smart Quotes" turn normal quotes into fancy quotes that appear to curve inwards around quoted text. However, FileMaker's Smart Quotes overwrite the character positions of other normal characters and therefore do not export well. Since the plug-in has no way of knowing if your database has "Smart Quotes" enabled, it has no way of knowing if the "Smart Quote" character positions in your email should be considered as quotes or should be considered as the actual characters at those character positions.
So, you should always turn off "Smart Quotes" in your database when you will be sending emails from it (or doing anything else where you might be exporting the data from FileMaker). Turning off Smart Quotes is very easy.
Go to FileMaker's "File" Menu, select "File Options", and then select the "Text" Tab. Un-check the "Use Smart Quotes" checkbox and press the "OK" button. After turning off "Smart Quotes", you may have to retype some quotes in your fields in some rare situations to make them stop being "smart".
This error means the plug-in was unable to connect to your mail server. This is most likely caused by port 25 (or another port you use to connect to your mail server) being blocked by Anti-Virus or Firewall software.
There has been an increase in this error due in part to a lot of people using McAfee Anti-Virus software. An update to the software enables port blocking for that port, so it must be configured to allow the plug-in (or actually FileMaker) to send email. If you are using McAfee, please disabled port blocking on that port for FileMaker. When doing so, make sure the .exe filename added to the exception list is spelled exactly the same as the FileMaker Pro.exe (or FileMaker Developer.exe) found in the FileMaker directory.
If you are not using McAfee, check to make sure any other Anti-Virus or Firewall software between the plug-in and the mail server is not blocking port 25.
Instructions for allowing the plug-in to send email through McAfee: *Please note, these were given to us from a customer and we have not tested these, so if they are not entirely correct, please contact McAfee for more information.
At the bottom, under 'Excluded Processes' type in the Filemaker executable name. For Pro it's: FileMaker Pro.exe. For Developer it's FileMaker Developer.exe. Excluded Processes are separated by commas with NO spaces, are probably case sensitive, and do not require quotation marks around process names with spaces.
As of v5.1.0, Backward Compatibility has been removed from SMTPit Pro.
If you want to upgrade from a Classic plug-in to a Pro plug-in, but not rewrite your scripts right away (from the old classic syntax), you can turn on the Backward Compatibility option. We highly suggest updating your scripts to the Pro functions as this option is just meant to be a temporary solution until scripts can be updated. This option may be removed in the future depending on changes in future versions of FileMaker and the plug-in. See the Porting Guide for more information on updating your scripts.
The backward compatibility option does not work under all versions of FileMaker.
To turn this option on via the configuration dialog, open FileMaker and go to the FileMaker Menu (on Mac) or Edit (on Windows), Preferences, Plug-ins tab, double-click the plug-in name, and select the Advanced tab. Finally, select "Enable Old Style Functions". Next, click OK on all the dialogs, and then restart FileMaker. Your scripts that were written for the old plug-in will now continue to work with the Pro plug-in.
You can also set the backward compatibility option via script using the "SMTPit_Configure" function. The "UseOldFunctions" preference controls whether the Old Style functions are enabled, and by default it is disabled. This preference is a boolean value, so it has a value of 0 by default.
Calling this function is the equivalent of setting the backward compatibility option in the configuration dialog. You will still need to restart FileMaker before the Old Style functions will appear in FileMaker.
All licenses (excluding the Developer license) save the registration to the computer, so registration only needs to be done once. If you use a startup script like this with a license other than the World license, you may inadvertently exceed your license using this parameter.
Yes! SMTPit Pro and MMEmail can send through an Exchange Server, and POP3it Pro can download email from an Exchange Server.
To send email through your Exchange Server, you must first verify your Exchange Server is setup to properly work with the SMTP protocol. Your mail server administrator will be able to tell you if the SMTP protocol is setup and give you the correct settings to use in the plug-in.
To download email from your Exchange Server, you must verify your Exchange Server is setup to properly work with the POP3 protocol. Again, talk with your mail server administrator to find out if the POP3 protocol is setup and get the correct settings to use with the plug-in.
Yes! SMTPit Pro and MMEmail can send email through your Apple MobileMe account. This will not work with the classic SMTPit plug-in, as the connection requires SSL, which the classic plug-in does not support. The settings below will allow you to work with your MobileMe account.
There are two settings that can make the dialog appear. The first place is a setting in the preferences dialog. To access the preferences dialog, go to the Edit menu (on Windows) or the FileMaker menu (on Mac), Preferences, Plug-ins tab, double-click SMTPit Pro, Extras tab, and the After Send tab. Make sure the "Popup 'Email Sent Successfully" dialog check box is "unchecked".
In other words, the equals sign ( = ) is used in the calculation, but when viewed in the recipient's email, you will see a colon ( : ).
Make sure you have the proper version of Microsoft's .Net Framework installed on your computer. See the SMTPit Pro installation page for more information.
Make sure the proper Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package is installed on your computer. See the SMTPit Pro installation page for more information.
The first time you call the SMTPit_SetInlineImage function, it sets the image you gave it. If you call the function a second time, it will overwrite the original image, unless you use the SMTPit_Append parameter. Using this parameter will make the function append to the plug-in's internal list of images that you have already set.
Note, in the example above, the first function call left off the Append parameter as it is the first thing you are setting, so there is nothing to append to.
Also note, when setting parameters, you cannot skip a parameter, so you must set the 2nd parameter as well, even though you only actually need to use the 3rd parameter which is the SMTPit_Append. For the second parameter, there is currently only one type, which is "HTML", so make sure to include it as shown above.
The X is the number that is associated with each image. The image number is determined by the order you set the image with the SMTPit_SetInlineImage function. In the original example above, the "db::container1" image was set in the first function call, so it would be part1, and the "db::container2" image was set in the second function call, so it would be part2.
When sending HTML email it is a good idea to also include a Text alternative part. Some email recipients prefer to view Text and some simply have email clients that cannot view HTML (this is very rare, however). Another reason to send a Text part when sending HTML is to avoid having your email marked as spam. Many spam filters will mark an email as spam if it contains only an HTML part.
To send an email that includes both a Text and HTML part (also called a multipart email), you simply need to set both parts. The SMTPit_SetBody function is used to set each part, so this will need to be called twice in your email script.
The second parameter of the function determines whether you are setting the Text or HTML part. The same can also be done with the SMTPit_SetBodyHeader and SMTPit_SetBodyFooter functions.
Yes! SMTPit Pro and MMEmail can send email through Gmail, Google Mail, or Google Apps. The settings below will allow you to work with your account.
Note: For the Port and SSL settings, use either Port 465 and BeforeConnect OR Port 587 and AfterConnect. Other combinations of the settings will not work.
To define the settings in the plug-in, you can either do so in the Configuration Dialog or in your scripting using the plug-in functions. Which location you use depends on how your database was programmed.
When running v4.6 of the plug-in under 64-bit FileMaker Pro (FMP) 14/15 on OSX, the user interface is not available (including the configuration dialog). The plug-in is still functional, but you will not be able to call any user interface functions or use the configuration dialog. Version 5.0 of the plug-in does resolve this. Note, when running v4.6 of the plug-in under 32-bit FMP 14 on OSX or under FMP 14/15 on Windows, the user interface works as expected.
The following user interface functions are currently unavailable with v4.6 of the plug-in under 64-bit FMP 14 on OSX.
If you absolutely must use the user interface functions or configuration dialog under 64-bit FMP 14 on OSX, you will need to run FMP 14 in 32-bit mode instead of 64-bit. Running the plug-in under FMP 14 in 32-bit mode works like normal and includes all user interfaces. See the How to change FMP between 32-bit and 64-bit modes section below on how to change the mode FMP 14 is running in.
The following sections describe how to work with the plug-in under 64-bit FMP 14 on OSX without the configuration dialog.
###How to Define Settings in the Configuration Dialog### The settings in the configuration dialog are simply the default values for the plug-in. This means any value you set in your scripting will be used instead of these values. In other words, the default values in the configuration dialog are only used if you do not set a value in your scripting, so using the default values is not essential. If you want to set the default values, you can still do so using either of the following methods.
Open FMP in 32-bit mode, define your settings in the configuration dialog, close FMP, and then open FMP in 64-bit mode. See the How to change FMP between 32-bit and 64-bit modes section below on how to change the mode FMP is running in.
This script would set the Host, Port, Authentication Type, Username, Password, and SSL/TLS connection type. Calling these functions is only necessary once, as the default values will be saved in the plug-in.
###How to Register### Registering the plug-in under 64-bit FMP on OSX can be achieved using the SMTPit_Register function. You can either make your own script to do this, or you can use this Registration Database to do so.
###How to get a Demo Key### To test the plug-in in demo mode, you can either use it with or without a demo key.
To use the plug-in without a demo key, simply use the plug-in until it times out. At this point, you can restart FMP to get more time to test the plug-in with. Alternatively, in FMP you can go to the FileMaker menu, Preferences, Plug-ins tab, and uncheck the box next to the plug-in and then check it again.
To use the plug-in with a demo key, you will need to temporarily open FMP in 32-bit mode, obtain a demo key, close FMP, and then open FMP in 64-bit mode. See the How to change FMP between 32-bit and 64-bit modes section below on how to change the mode FMP is running in.
###How to change FMP 14 between 32-bit and 64-bit modes### To run FMP 14 as a 32-bit application, close FMP 14, Open a Finder Window and browse to the FileMaker Pro 14 or FileMaker Pro 14 Advanced folder.
Next, find the FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced application file, select it, right-click on it and choose Get Info.
Finally, put a checkmark in the Open in 32-bit mode box, close the Get Info window, and open the FMP14 application.
To change FMP 14 from 32-bit mode to 64-bit mode, follow the above instructions and uncheck the Open in 32-bit mode box.
Set FM14 to run as a 32-bit application and the plug-in is still not showing as installed?
FileMaker must still be running in 64-bit mode even though the 32-bit option is selected. OSX or FileMaker has a strange problem with this, but we are not certain which one causes it. If you launch the FileMaker app directly from the Finder, it seems to always correctly open in 32/64-bit depending on the option you have set. If you launch FileMaker from a Spotlight search, the Dock, or other ways, whether it will properly open in 32/64-bit mode seems random. We have seen the FM14 v2 update fix this in some cases, even though the update does not mention this issue. If you are not using at least the v2 update, you may consider updating to the latest version of FilMaker Pro on FileMaker's website.

No, DUI charges against Paul Pelosi haven't been dropped
Paul Pelosi's DUI charges have not been dropped. On June 23, he was formally charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury.
Author: Kelly Jones, Brandon Lewis
Updated: 4:34 PM CDT August 23, 2022
Story update: On August 23, Paul Pelosi pleaded guilty to misdemeanor driving under the influence charges related to a May crash in California's wine country and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation.
On May 29, Paul Pelosi, the 82-year-old husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Northern California.
On June 8, Miami Standard, a Florida-based tabloid website, posted an article with the headline: "Charges Against Pelosi's Husband Dropped, Cops Claim No Footage of Arrest."
The claim was being shared across Twitter and went viral on Facebook, with some alleging California Gov. Gavin Newsom played a role in the charges being dismissed.
Were DUI charges against Paul Pelosi dropped?
THE SOURCES
Napa County District Attorney's Office
California Highway Patrol
Governor Gavin Newsom's press office
No, Paul Pelosi's charges were not dropped. At the time of the viral claims, charges had not yet been filed. On June 23, the Napa County District Attorney's office filed misdemeanor DUI charges against Pelosi.
On June 23, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley's office announced Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was charged with two misdemeanor counts: driving under the influence with injury and driving with .08% blood alcohol level or higher causing injury.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) booked Pelosi on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol on May 29 after responding to a report of a crash involving him in Napa, CHP Communications Director Fran Clader told VERIFY in an email. According to the district attorney, Pelosi had a .082% blood alcohol content (BAC). In the state of California, it is illegal for any person to operate a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or higher, if the person is 21 years old or older.
The punishment for driving under the influence with injury, which is a misdemeanor, includes up to five years of probation, a minimum of five days in jail, installation of an ignition interlock device, fines and fees, completion of a court ordered drinking driver class, and other terms as appropriate, according to the Napa County District Attorney's office.
California law requires prosecutors to arraign a detained person within 48 business hours of arrest if they remain in detention. An arraignment is when the judge tells a defendant what charges have been formally filed against them. But if a person is released from custody, as Pelosi was, prosecutors can instead arraign them within 60 days, or even after that if they show good cause as to why there was a delay.
Records show Pelosi posted a $5,000 bail and was released shortly after his arrest. He is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 3 for his arraignment.
Bay Area attorney Aaron Bortel says this timeframe is common for DUI arrests.
"In San Francisco, it may happen within two to three weeks. In other counties, it can take two or more months, but typically, it's within a month," Bortel said on his website.
The California Highway Patrol commissioner does report to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, but claims that Newsom intervened to have the charges dropped are not true, according to Newsom's office.
"The Governor has had absolutely zero involvement," an email from the governor's office said.
Nancy Pelosi declined to comment on the matter to the Associated Press (AP). A spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi told the AP: "The Speaker will not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast."
Nancy Pelosi was in Providence, Rhode Island, at the time of her husband's arrest.

Home » Cordoba , Mountains » The legend that holds the hill Champaquí.
Located on the western boundary of Cordoba, the Sierra Grande has the highest hill of the province: the Champaquí, 2790 meters.
The Punilla and Calamuchita separate that chain Sierra Chica.
The peasants call "pampilla" the plateau that crowns the hill, near which there is a circular lake.
In his Caminos Argentina (1940), the prominent novelist César Carrizo Rioja (1889-1950), tells a poetic climb the mountain in the company of Don Rosendo de Tejeda and Cabrera: "Pastors as in the days of Abraham; vaque¬ros who herd their cattle; women black eyes and long braid, which very well have gotten the Marqués de Santillana for their serranillas; lion hunters scurry through the cliffs, followed by his jau¬ría, and farmers who sow their land, greet us with hat in hand ".
The same flock owner offered to prepare a roast kid. It was a pastor well into his fifties, brown face and hairy hands, who had never descended to the city nor intend to. "My payments it is these," he said. "I'm happy here, I retain good and healthy as a bull huaso. And down, have people die prematurely due to the many diseases and vices ".
One inhabitant of Champaquí refused to collect asadoy milk. "Here we like silk Tagua, as honey is given". For one Creole nobleman was worth only friendship. "In these fierce fields in these solitudes, what does the silver Nah? Nothing. Instead, the law amiganza everything is right. "The friendship and love, was corrected. since many missing was a companion: "And how women and men want in these hills!"
The peasant agreed to accompany those travelers to the lake, blue mirror, according to Reed, reflected mountain cobalt and turquoise sky. Before leaving he ordered the dog to carry the flock into the fold. The animal obeyed his master whistles and docile cattle were driven to the fold.
The inhabitants of the region believe a legend, the story of a beautiful woman who arrives in the afternoon and leave the lagoon at night to ascend to heaven with the light of the first star. His description is exquisite: Blond and river hair, white hands, face nacre.
More than once saw the herdsmen, shepherds and the girls. A man of science, but also a poet, dweller in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita, vainly waited day after day. "I know !, it said in its concern and disappointment. The inhallable creature is the symbol of truth and beauty: the truth and beauty that appear suddenly, in a moment of insight into the path of the wise and the artist, when least expected. "
Don Rosendo de Tejeda and Cabrera and his friends went down the hill the next day. In the Champaquí quedáronlos shepherds, herdsmen and hunters. None of them wanted to go down or enter the city. The pastor's words still echoed brown face in those explorers: "I'm happy here, I retain good and healthy as a bull huaso".

Q: How can I check that the received beacon is a beacon that last 2 minutes? I have to make an android application with the purpose of a user check-in on a bus. The app have to research the beacons from a bus and at the same time has to send a beacon. How can I check that the received beacon is a beacon that last 2 minutes, in order to understand that the user is actually on the bus and he's not passing by?
As a starting point, I'm using https://github.com/Jaosrikate/iBeacon-Android and I'm trying to make some changes.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do this?

A: Beacon ranging involves a callback from the API that gives you a beacon identifier.  The time of the callback is the time the beacon was detected.
The basic algorithm is simple:

*

*Create a HashMap<String,Date> to store the timestamp of the first time a beacon was detected.  Use a string representation of the beacon identifier as the key.

*Whenever a beacon is detected, check to see if it's identifier is already in the map.

*If the identifier is not in the map, store it along with the current Date()

*If the identifier is in the map, check to see if the current time - the stored time in the map > 2 minutes.  If so, you have a match


UFW Stories: "ORGANIZED BY DOLORES HUERTA"
In the mid-70's, I was an undergraduate at UC Santa Cruz. While I came from a family of revolutionaries and union activists, this was still mostly theory to me at that age. Then Dolores Huerta came to campus, to recruit volunteers for the UFW summer campaign. Moved by Dolores' animo, I decided to put my ideals to the test, and stood up to volunteer.
(This has a soundtrack added by my son, whose mother I met in the first UFW campaign - one of many UFW romances).
After helping out at negotiations, I also worked as a farmworker for unionized employers. I got the easy jobs - thinning apples and quality-control at another mushroom farm.
I did become a lawyer, and began serving farmworkers in that capacity for California Rural Legal Assistance, in the Imperial Valley. From there, I returned to Los Angeles, and have been practicing law for workers, unions and union funds, ever since. You can see more videos about farmworkers on my You Tube channel - youtube.com/user/JDSackman, including a banned film of a 1947 farmworker strike where Cesar Chavez got his first union card, and film of farmworkers living in boxes and holes in the ground in the 80's.
It was Dolores who set me on the path I continue today. Has much changed from our efforts? I hope so. LA LUCHA SIGUE !

Planning a mass-transit system almost necessarily requires one difficult, politically charged decision after another. Route selection may be the most difficult and visible of them all. Mass transit is expensive and public resources are limited; a dichotomy that usually requires prioritizing one route (and therefore one neighborhood) over another. If there can only be one new route in the near future, which neighborhoods should benefit, and which must continue to wait in line? And while certain neighborhoods clamor for access to mass transit, others may fight just as hard to keep it away. Los Angeles's gerrymandered Red Line is a particularly infamous example of NIMBYism's negative impact on route selection, and ridership as a result.
Even assuming the system planners can obtain sufficient buy-in on a route, the choice in technology (heavy rail?, light rail, bus rapid transit, etc.) may be nearly as complicated. Not only must planners decide between ever-changing technology solutions, but they must also account at times for the actions of their predecessors. For example, perhaps expected ridership on the new route does not justify the cost of rail, but can the agency tell Neighborhood B, which has patiently waited in line for decades, to accept bus while Neighborhood A has enjoyed rail the entire time? It is a wonder that public agencies ever clear these hurdles, and when they do, there is additional consideration that is oft-neglected but of utmost importance to the success of the route: zoning regulations, which significantly impact both ridership and cost.
A successful mass-transit system transports people to and from where they live and work in a more efficient manner than available alternatives. Perhaps the most significant consideration is the door-to-door time to commute. If an individual lives and works within a block or two of a train station, mass transit is compelling. If an individual must walk 15 minutes on each end of the commute, a car starts to look a whole lot better. Said another way, if more people live in close proximity to a transit station, more people will leave their cars at home and take the train to work. The upshot is that the zoning code must facilitate increased density of residential units within walking distance of mass-transit stations: think high-rises above, adjacent to, and nearby the station. If a station is instead surrounded by single-family homes, only a handful of people will live within a short walk of the station. Of course, fewer riders means fewer revenues to support the operation and expansion of the transit system and everyone else remains in their cars, further contributing to traffic congestion.
New high-rises may be great for ridership and for their future residents, but future residents don't vote, and they don't show up to zoning hearings. High-rises are often not so great for the residents of nearby single-family homes – those facing the prospect of towers casting shadows over their yards, thousands of new neighbors, and—gulp—more traffic. And those current residents do vote, and they do show up to zoning hearings. Zoning decisions are often also made at a municipal, or even a neighborhood level, without regard for the regional interests served by a successful transit system. As a result, the ordinary zoning process is a major impediment to mass transit.
It the late 1970's, with the approval of its heavy rail system, Miami-Dade County, Florida, implemented the beginnings of a solution to this zoning problem with the Rapid Transit Zone, or RTZ. Miami-Dade County is the regional government responsible for the delivery of mass transit in a metropolitan area that includes more than 30 individual municipalities, each with its own zoning regulations and processes. The RTZ preempts zoning and permitting jurisdiction to the County for all property under and around the heavy-rail system. To facilitate expeditious permitting for the actual tracks and stations, the RTZ makes those uses permitted, without the need for public input or hearings. And to facilitate higher-density development near the stations, the RTZ includes a public hearing process that is run by the County, not the individual municipalities or neighborhoods, for private development (including high-rise residential development) near the stations. As a result, zoning decisions at and around stations are made at the regional level, with a regional perspective, and are not driven by the handful of neighbors in opposition to new density, if not to a train station altogether.
This year, California adopted the same concept with the passage of AB 2923, which preempts zoning authority for certain development around San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations to the BART board of directors. The purpose of the new law is, like the RTZ, to facilitate dense new residential development near BART stations in order to encourage ridership.
Regional preemption of permitting authority in the RTZ also facilitates private investment in the transit system through public/private partnerships. Lenders and investors are typically wary of funding a project if the permitting processes are drawn-out and unpredictable, which is almost necessarily the case when the permits required to construct the track or stations are subject to the approval of many different jurisdictions.
A centralized, efficient permitting process reduces this "permitting risk" and increases the bankability of a project. As a result, project lenders will be more likely to allow the developer to accept additional permitting risks, and even lend into a project (subject, of course, to appropriate reserves and covenants), prior to the final authorization of all material project permits. The upshot is that centralized permitting can significantly reduce project costs and expedite project delivery.
However, for all its promise, the success of the RTZ has been somewhat limited. Although the RTZ did streamline permitting for the construction of the transit system itself, it has been less effective at facilitating high-rise residential development near stations. A clear oversight is that the RTZ captured the footprints of the tracks and each station, but very little, if any, of adjacent private property. There are some shining examples of successful development within the RTZ, such as the Dadeland developments at the southern terminus of the rapid-transit system. But without the benefit of private development on nearby private property, which remains subject to local zoning control, the RTZ has yet to achieve anything close to its full potential.
Fortunately, that is quickly changing. Over the past few years, the County has begun to approve expansions of the RTZ to encompass adjacent private property, and the County is currently evaluating additional expansions throughout the system. So far, the expansions have proven remarkably successful—the massive downtown station development for Virgin Trains USA (f/k/a Brightline) was zoned and permitted under the County's RTZ jurisdiction. As a result, the future of Miami-Dade County's decades-old RTZ ordinance looks very bright, and the Miami area's transit system will be the primary beneficiary.

Isn't this a case of the density tail wagging the transport dog? In other words, to make a rail line pay (i.e. make it profitable enough for a private operator/funder), you need to permit enough value uplift from re-zoned density to pay for the costs of developing the line. This is nothing new, of course. Its basically how many cities grew in the 19th century (long before city planning systems) as rail companies bought up vacant/agricultural land along their proposed tracks and then made substantial profits in land sales for housing once the line was built. Nothing wrong in that, you may say. The big difference here, though, is that while our 19th entrepreneurs only needed to shift the cows off the paddock before building, their 21st century descendants face the task of shifting existing communities to get the density in place. The problem with democracy (as you allude to) is that while cows don't vote, people do. If you want good examples to cite, then China really has this approach to transport development and densification down pat. Instead, I suggest you need to reconsider your position on this important issue and work out ways by which communities can be engaged and included in the replanning process so that they get to share in the potential benefits of the new connectivity mass transit can bring, not exclude and displace them by diktat from on high. It may be a more protracted and labor intensive approach, but I suggest the outcomes may be more sustainable and certain long term. While there are always some naysayers, most people will accept change if its undertaken with their input and transparently managed to take account of their concerns. Giving people more democracy is always better than taking it away from them.

How Stormwater Infrastructure Balances Utility and Placemaking
by Mark Hough, University Landscape Architect, Duke University
I see the outcomes of Duke Pond as a representation of the importance of the profession of landscape architecture in today's world. Once obscured by the glaring light and booming voice long-generated by building architects, landscape architects are steadily emerging as the designers needed to tackle complex 21st century problems. As both leaders and collaborators, their work is addressing the effects of rising sea level on coastal cities, creating multi-modal pedestrian and vehicular transportation systems to reduce carbon emissions, reimagining outdated infrastructure as great urban places, and as with the case of Duke Pond, mitigating the impacts of worsening drought.
The 7 Forces of Artificial Intelligence in Cities
by Anders Lisdorf
AI has enormous potential to improve the lives of billions of people living in cities and facing a multitude of challenges. However, a blind focus on the technological issues is not sufficient. We are already starting to see a moderation of the technocentric view of algorithmic salvation in New York City, which is the first city in the world to appoint a chief algorithm officer.
There are 7 primary forces determining the success of AI, of which technology is just one. Cities must realize that AI is not the quick technological fix that vendors sell. Not everything will be improved by creating more algorithms and technical prowess. We need to develop a more holistic approach to implementing AI in cities in order to harness the immense potential. We need to create a way to consider each of the seven forces when cities plan for the use of AI.
I Am The River, The River is Me: Prioritizing Well-being Through Water Policy
by Karabi Acharya, ScD, Director at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Tim Ng, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury of New Zealand and its chief economic adviser.
In New Zealand, persistent, concentrated advocacy and legal cases advanced by Māori people are inspiring biocentric policies; that is, those which recognize that people and nature, including living and non-living elements, are part of an interconnected whole. Along the way, tribal leaders and advocates are successfully making the case that nature; whole systems of rivers, lakes, forests, mountains, and more, deserves legal standing to ensure its protection. An early legislative "win" granted personhood status to the Te Urewera forest in 2014, which codified into law these moving lines:
"Te Urewera is ancient and enduring, a fortress of nature, alive with history; its scenery is abundant with mystery, adventure, and remote beauty … Te Urewera has an identity in and of itself, inspiring people to commit to its care."
The Te Urewera Act of 2014 did more than redefine how a forest would be managed, it pushed forward the practical expression of a new policy paradigm.

Here's What's Really Going On With Taylor's Deleted Instagram Comments
This is the t with Tay.
It's been a rough month for Tay on social media. First, she had people turn on her because of the whole Hiddleswift debacle. Then there was the whole kerfuffle about her writing the lyrics to "This Is What You Came For" and Calvin Harris complaining about her trying to throw him under the bus. And then, of course, there was the Kimye Disaster of 2016.
The hatorade started to roll over her Instagram account in the form of little snake emojis that implied that she was sneaky and untrustworthy.
Taylor Swift/Instagram
Within a week, however, those snakes had mysteriously disappeared....
Articles began to appear suggestingthat Taylor Swift was getting special treatment from Instagram, which was deleting the snakes for her. "That's not fair!" the Internet cried out. "Instagram is supposed to be a democracy in which everyone is treated the same! If I can't stop my ex-bff Betty from accosting me with emojis, then neither should Taylor."
But then writer Caitlin Dewey at the Washington Post pointed out that Tay's "secret social media weapon" is really just Instagram's new comment filtering tool. On July 6, Tech Crunch announced that the company was rolling out a new Comment Moderation tool that "blocks comments with words or phrases often reported as offensive from appearing on your posts." Right now, this option is only available to business accounts–ones linked to a business page on Facebook–but it's assumed that the feature will eventually be available to all as Instagram strives to be a little more of a friendly user space.
What it means, in practice, is haters can no longer barrage Taylor Swift with snakes, because Instagram prevents users from posting a block of emoticons, be they good or bad. If you try to post more than 24 emoticons, a little sign now pops up passive aggressively telling you to back off. I tried to post a whole block of snakes and then a whole block of hearts and both times Instagram was like Nope.
And just so you know it's not a tool only Tay can use, I tried the same thing on the Instagram accounts of Staples and Target and got the same response. Same when I tried to post more than 24 lemon emojis on Rachel Roy's account, and various other celebs.
Though, to be honest , 24 snake emojis still feels like online harassment to me.
