Learn about the Argument Essay on the GRE Analytical Writing measure- what is is, what the prompts will be like, and how the essay should be scored. And most importantly, how you can write a good one!
The Analyze an Argument task on the GRE Analytical Writing section asks you to evaluate another author's argument and take a position on it in response to a prompt. This essay can be a little tricky because you will get a sample passage to write about, but you're not discussing the issue presented in the passage. In fact, you don't have to give your opinion on the issue at all. The point is to analyze the author's argument structure, not the issue in the passage.
That can be tricky because it's not like most standardized test questions. If you want a little clarification or aren't sure how to approach that kind of prompt on a standardized test, this lesson is just for you. We'll go over the prompt, the scoring, and some tips for writing a winning essay.
To write a high-scoring essay, you'll need to write an organized and coherent essay that responds to the task and supports your position with persuasive reasoning, and you'll have to do it all in just 30 minutes. The most important part about this is that unlike the other essay on the GRE, 'responding to the task' on the Argument Essay means you have to evaluate the argument, not the claim. Here's what that looks like.
It doesn't matter what you think about dormitories at Buckingham College. That's not what the task is asking you to evaluate. You could write a great essay in response to this prompt without ever discussing your opinion on the dormitories. The key here is to analyze the author's argument, not the issue.
Take a clear position in response to the specific prompt. A high-scoring essay won't just talk about the author's argument in general, and it certainly won't talk about the issue without discussing the argument.
Develop your position with clearly organized reasoning. Your essay should demonstrate a logical flow of ideas and a reasonable amount of thought.
Use language effectively. You don't have to use $10 words in every sentence, but your essay should show variety in sentence length and appropriate use of vocabulary.
Your essay will be graded first by a human reader and then by a computer program called an e-rater. If the human and the e-rater give you similar scores, then the human score will be your final score. If the human and the e-rater give you different scores, then a second human will read your essay, and your final score will be the average of the two human scores.
Your score will be reported on a scale from 0 (worst) to 6 (best), in half-point increments. A score of 6 indicates that you've written an outstanding response with a thoughtful response to the prompt, clear organization and development of your points, and excellent use of language. A score in the middle of the range indicates a solid essay with some flaws. A score towards the bottom indicates that you had serious problems in addressing the task, organizing your points, or making your argument clear. If you want to know more about what a 'good' or a 'bad' score involves, check out the other lesson in this course all about the scoring rubric on the GRE Analytical Writing section.
Read the task twice to make sure you really understand what you're writing about.
Use your scrap paper to brainstorm and outline before you start writing on the GRE, you'll write your essay on a computer, but you'll get as much scrap paper for taking notes as you want. Use it! Before you get into the essay, jot down the key points that you want to touch on.
As you write, occasionally glance down at your outline to make sure you're on track. If you're halfway through your time, are you also halfway through your list of important points? Have you covered everything you needed to touch on?
Look over your essay for spelling and typos, but don't go crazy. You only have 30 minutes for this task; you don't have time for extensive revisions.
In this lesson, you learned about the GRE Argument Essay, one of the two essays on the Analytical Writing section of the test. The most important thing to remember about this essay is that you're analyzing the author's argument, not the issue presented in the passage. That's been repeated a lot in this lesson, but it's one of the most common mistakes that students make, especially when they're tired and rushed. Don't fall into the trap!
On the Argument Essay, your job is to evaluate the author's argument in response to the task, support your points with well-reasoned arguments, and use language effectively to make your point. You'll be scored by a human and a computer, and then by a second human if the first human and the computer disagree. In either case, your final score will be on a scale from 0 to 6, in half-point increments.
It's really not that scary once you get the hang of it, and especially not after you've gotten some practice.

President-elect Joe Biden's incoming COVID czar, Jeffrey Zients, is facing new scrutiny over his corporate ties — particularly a two-year stint on Facebook's board of directors. But the Biden transition team confirmed to The Verge that Zients liquidated his Facebook stock earlier this year and will retain no equity when he officially begins his White House role.
Zients joined the Facebook board in May 2018 in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal but declined to seek reelection to the board when his term ended in 2020. Securities and Exchange Commission filings show he was compensated with $100,000 in cash and just over $300,000 in stock awards for his work chairing the board's Audit & Risk Oversight Committee, which met 13 times in 2019. Crucially, the last of his restricted stock units were vested in May 2020, leaving him able to entirely liquidate his financial ties to the company.
Zients' departure from the Facebook board was abrupt and came amid rumors of a split with the company's management. "Mr. Zients was generally aligned with Kenneth Chenault, [who] resigned from the company's board following disagreements with founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook officials," wrote The Wall Street Journal at the time. "They differed over governance at the company and its policies around political discourse."
Zients' role as the incoming White House's COVID-19 coordinator doesn't directly affect Facebook, but with the company facing unprecedented federal scrutiny and an impending antitrust action from regulators, tech activist groups are particularly sensitive to any connections between Facebook and the Biden White House. In September, a coalition of antitrust groups called on the transition to forswear any Facebook executives or registered lobbyists tied to the company from White House appointments.
On Thursday, Accountable Tech co-founder Jesse Lehrich called Zients a "talented problem-solver" but said Facebook's role in spreading anti-vaccine misinformation could not be ignored.
"Facebook must be held accountable for amplifying misinformation that has undermined our pandemic response and sown baseless distrust in vaccines," Lehrich said. "In order to guard against conflicts of interest, Mr. Zients should immediately divest of the significant equity he earned in Facebook from his service on the Board and commit to hiring an online misinformation expert to handle his team's engagement with major social media platforms."
Zients previously served in a number of economic policy roles in the Obama administration — most notably, as director of the National Economic Council and acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.

---

Welcome to Technology Short Take #83! This is a slightly shorter TST than usual, which might be a nice break from the typical information overload. In any case, enjoy!<!--more-->

## Networking

* I enjoyed Dave McCrory's series on the future of the network (see [part 1][link-5], [part 2][link-6], [part 3][link-7], and [part 4][link-18]---part 5 hadn't gone live yet when I published this). In my humble opinion, he's spot on in his viewpoint that network equipment is increasingly becoming more like servers, so why not embed services and functions in the network equipment? However, this isn't enough; you also need a strong control plane to help manage and coordinate these services. Perhaps [Istio][link-25] will help provide that control plane, though I suspect something more will be needed.
* Michael Kashin has a handy little tool that functions like `ssh-copy-id` on servers, but for network devices (leveraging Netmiko). Check out [the GitHub repository][link-12].
* Anthony Shaw has [a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt][link-13] (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). This one is definitely worth a read, in my opinion.
* Miguel Gómez of Telefónica Engineering discusses [maximizing performance in VXLAN overlay networks][link-14].
* Nicolas Michel has a good post on [the transition from network engineer v1.0 to v2.0][link-17], and some of the skillsets he believes network engineers must embrace moving forward.

## Servers/Hardware

* Stephen Foskett [shares some details][link-19] on a nifty side project turning an old Macintosh SE into a Core i7 "Hackintosh". Fun read if you're into custom builds.

## Security

* John Welsh has a post on [why someone might use VMware NSX][link-4]. Rich Stroffolino has [a similar piece over at Gestalt IT][link-15], though Rich points out that this use case is only one aspect of how NSX might be used in an environment. These viewpoints---that security via micro-segmentation is a compelling use case for NSX---is one I've seen repeated in numerous environments.
* Here's [a quick post][link-9] on `nftables`, the (eventual) Linux replacement for `iptables`.
* Turns out there's a security vulnerability in some of the wireless keyboard and mice out there. Unfortunately, if you were the owner of a Logitech device, you had to boot into Windows just to update the firmware---until now. Check out [this blog][link-16] on work done to bring firmware updates into the land of Linux.

## Cloud Computing/Cloud Management

* "Even with public cloud and managed services, you can't avoid good old-fashioned data management processes." That's a great quote from Chris Evans discussing some [lessons that can be learned from the Instapaper outage][link-20]. Cloud computing does make some things easier---but it doesn't eliminate other necessary tasks and design considerations.
* Rob Hirschfeld has a wrap-up of day 1 of the recent OpenStack Summit in Boston; read it [here][link-21]. I like Rob's take for a few different reasons. First, Rob's been involved in OpenStack for quite a while; that gives him some perspective. Second, he's very pragmatic about OpenStack; I think he manages to strike a balanced view (not the "rah-rah" from the cheerleaders nor the doom-and-gloom from the pundits).

## Operating Systems/Applications

* I was recently reviewing some articles on Git, the popular distributed version control system, and came across a few related posts. First, there was [this post against GitFlow][link-1], followed by [this post on OneFlow][link-2] (a potential replacement for GitFlow). Not having used Git or GitFlow in large development environments (only for personal projects), I can't speak to the author's criticisms, but they certainly seem valid. I also saw [this proposed Git workflow for "infrastructure-as-code" projects][link-3], which I'm going to review in more detail to try to better understand.
* I found [this post][link-10] describing someone's migration from macOS to OpenBSD. While I've played around a fair amount with OpenBSD on the server side, I (personally) wouldn't have considered it as a desktop OS. However, the author of this post seems to be getting along pretty well.
* Also on the topic of migrating to different OSes, here's a post on [using GalliumOS on a Chromebook][link-11].
* I must confess I was, at first, a bit confused about [the Moby project][link-22]. After a little time and seeing how things seem to be progressing, I realize that it creates a clear separation between the open source project formerly known as Docker (now Moby) and Docker CE/EE (the products from Docker Inc.). This was the source of some confusion in the past; the move to Moby sidesteps those concerns.

## Storage

Nothing this time around, but I'm sure I'll find content to include in future episodes.

## Virtualization

* Luc Dekens [explores][link-23] the open-sourced vSphere Automation SDKs [announced back in March][link-24] (I think I may have referenced this already in a previous TST). Naturally, Luc's exploration primarily focuses on PowerCLI.

## Career/Soft Skills

* Ivan Pepelnjak has [a few secrets of successful learning][link-8] that any technology professional can leverage to his/her advantage.

That's all this time around---I hope you found something useful here.

Myth of the 20th Century – Episode 64: Blood Brotherhoods – Organized Crime in Italy
Social Matter
Welcome to the Myth of the 20th Century. The podcast airs on Fridays.
— Brought to you by —
Adam Smith, Nick Mason, Hans Lander, and Alex Nicholson
Organized crime in Italy is a complex subject, with origins stretching back for centuries. For at least a millennia, southern Italy, in particular Sicily, was forcibly occupied and ruled by foreign warlords, kingdoms, and empires. As the local people adapted to their volatile political climate, their ways and customs began to incorporate various strategies designed to maintain power independent of their government, and focused on family and secretive clans bound together by codes of duty and loyalty, often operating petty extortion rackets to earn money. As modern Italy began to take shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this broad based criminality posed a threat to the government in Rome and local citizens alike as the South struggled to develop economically, lagging far behind their counterparts in the North. To this day, the divide continues, as the brief period of fascist rule that brought the mafia under control quickly eroded after the war, and as Italy rebuilt so too did the organized crime networks – to the point where today they represent arguably the largest in Europe.
Early-16th century: A unique feudal structure is developed in Southern Italy/Sicily, with local oligarchs empowering families of enforcers to create collection schemes, eventually establishing a strongman middle class.
1870s – Revolution and unification efforts throughout Italy empower the mafia clans in the South/Sicily, under the hopes that integration will be easier.
Late 1890-1900s – Italian troops are deployed throughout Sicily to combat increasingly powerful Costa Nostra clans.
1915 – Bernardino Verro, the first Socialist mayor of Corleone, is assassinated by mafia forces after their political relationship collapses.
1915-17 – The 'Mafia-Camorra War' is waged, primarily in New York City. Cosa Nostra forces under the Morello family battled mafia families from the Camorra (Naples).
1922 – Italian fascists, upon assuming power, begin a campaign against mafia forces across Southern Italy, especially Sicily.
1925-29 – Cesare Mori, Prefect of Palermo, is ordered by Mussolini to conduct a massive crackdown on the Mafia activities in Southern Italy. He is largely successful, with the arrests of over 11k suspects. Mori conducts a counter-guerrilla war against the mafia dons and helps to cement Fascist rule over Southern Italy until the 1940s.
Late 1920s – The 'Castellammarese War' unfolds across Italy and urban American cities. The war is driven by increasing necessity for expansion overseas as Italy becomes inhospitable for the mafia.

At 9 Curzon street in the heart of London's Mayfair is situated Geo. F. Trumper, the world's most celebrated Gentleman's hairdresser and perfumer. The business traces its beginnings to the middle of the 19th century when Geo. F. Trumper established his barbers shop in Curzon Street. From the very beginning he manufactured his perfumes, toilet waters, pomades and other preparations in the vaults beneath his shop, these became exceedingly popular with the royal court, indeed a number of fragrances including Wellington and Marlborough were specially created for them. In the early days of Queen Victoria's reign Trumper's were awarded the Royal Appointment, continuing to the present day (spanning five reigns of royalty) The manufacturing tradition is still continued today, just as always everything is still made by hand, often using the original methods and special skills which have been handed down. Only the finest and often the rarest ingredients are used to maintain the quality and exclusiveness that has consistently been Trumper's hall-mark. New products from Trumper's are only introduced rarely and even then only when they have been tried and tested to perfection because, in the case of Trumper's comparisons will be made with other products from the Trumper range which have been popular for half a century and frequently longer. The current range still include many Trumper all time favourites, including Wellington, Marlborough, Curzon, West Indian Limes, Trumper's own special cologne and fine matured soaps together with more recent introductions, all created with the same skill and care and all guaranteed to give satisfaction and uphold the Trumper Tradition.

Nordstrom in Ridgedale Shopping Center
Nordstrom in the Ridgedale Shopping Center opened last fall 2015. It is one of the most popular places for customers to shop for clothing, shoes, jewelry, and many more accessories to add to their wardrobe.
This was the second location for Nordstrom stores to open in the twin cities, however there are Five locations throughout Minnesota.

Here are a few pictures of one of our crews servicing the signage on the outside of the Nordstrom store location in Ridgedale.
Out with the old, in with the new lighting in Landmark Signage
Landmark neon signs glow again in Twin Cities
New funding sources and new technology make it possible to relight some of the Twin Cities' most iconic neon signs.
Efforts have been quietly underway to literally flip the switch on history by relighting several of the cities' most-recognized neon signs, using recent state-of-the-art LED lighting technology that makes it cheaper to restore and maintain them. (Jim Buchta Star Tribune)
"These signs are iconic, and really help to tell the story of this place," said Laura Salveson, director of Mill City Museum, which is housed in the ruins of old stone mills along the Mississippi River. "These signs, and what they represent, live in people's memories." (Jim Buchta Star Tribune)
When the museum was established in 2003, pains were taken to preserve the nearby "Gold Medal Flour" signs that sit atop historic concrete grain silos overlooking the river. The effort wasn't cheap. At the time, LED lighting wasn't advanced enough to replicate the look of neon, so the neon tubes had to be restored and the structure rebuilt and stabilized. (Jim Buchta Star Tribune)
http://www.startribune.com/landmark-neon-signs-glow-again-in-twin-cities/289606701/
Today, "Gold Medal Flour" is the only one of the signs in the area that have not yet switched over to L.E.D Lighting. They are still using the traditional Neon lighting due to extra money left over from the $150,000 in which General Mills committed to using for maintaining the signs for a 10 year period. Signcrafters Outdoor does all of the maintenance and servicing of the Neon Signage on top of the historic "Gold Medal Flour".
New and Improved Menards, Brooklyn Park Re-opening Soon!
Home-improvement chain Menards, which has been razing-and-rebuilding its way around its Twin Cities, will replace its Brooklyn Park site starting this spring.
Finance & Commerce reports that the company will tear down a 132,000-square-foot store in Brooklyn Park, which was built in the 1980s, by early April.
Eau Claire, Wis.-based Menard Inc. will then rebuild a two-story, 211,000-square-foot store on the same site. The project, estimated at $12.5 million, is scheduled to be complete by spring 2016. (Mark Reilly Managing Editor)

South Korea's President Must Go
Jueves, 10/Nov/2016 Se-Woong Koo The New York Times

President Park Geun-hye of South Korea was destined to be a political leader. She grew up in the presidential residence as a daughter of South Korea's longest-ruling dictator, Park Chung-hee. After her mother died in a 1974 assassination attempt against her father, Ms. Park became the country's de facto first lady. She later was a lawmaker for 15 years, crafting an image as a deft politician while helping to build a conservative party with national security and economic growth as its core message. She became the country's first female president in 2013.
Ms. Park's personal history and image as a corruption-free conservative have been her main political assets. But that image quickly faded in September when the news media began looking at her longtime confidante, Choi Soon-sil. Ms. Choi is accused of using her connection to the president to extort money, advance her own daughter's career and influence government policy.
The nation was first stunned, then enraged, by the revelations. By some estimates, 200,000 people took to downtown Seoul on Saturday to demand Ms. Park's resignation. The government has come to a standstill, and Ms. Park's approval ratings are in the single digits.
The relationship between Ms. Park and Ms. Choi apparently began after the death of Ms. Park's mother. Ms. Choi's father, Choi Tae-min, reportedly approached the young Ms. Park with the claim that he could make contact with her dead mother. Mr. Choi, a shadowy cult leader, died in 1994, but the connection between Ms. Choi and Ms. Park deepened over the decades.
Until recently, the public did not know just how much influence Ms. Choi had over Ms. Park. According to the left-leaning newspaper Hankyoreh, two foundations under Ms. Choi's control were ushered through the government approval process at record speed. Some of South Korea's top companies donated tens of millions of dollars to them, and some of that money was then funneled to Germany, where Ms. Choi owns real estate and several shell companies. In a parallel case, Ms. Choi is said to have used her connection to the president to win special treatment for her daughter.
The allegations have snowballed as journalists have continued to dig. Ms. Park is accused of allowing Ms. Choi to influence government policies, including the decision to close an inter-Korean industrial complex in Kaesong, North Korea. Ms. Choi edited Ms. Park's speeches, reportedly placed her associates in positions of power in the government and helped her cronies win lucrative government contracts. She has been detained by the authorities since Oct. 31.
South Koreans are hardly naïve about the failings of politicians. Embezzlement and influence-peddling are common. Ms. Park, though, had always appeared above the fray, which is one reason, along with Ms. Choi's shady family background, she has fallen so hard, so quickly.
Before this scandal, Ms. Park had cultivated an aura of rectitude. While she owns a multimillion-dollar house in the wealthy Gangnam area of Seoul, she astutely opened it to reporters to demonstrate a frugal lifestyle. She never married and is estranged from her siblings — both signs that close relatives couldn't take advantage of her power. With her supporters declaring her "married to the nation," Ms. Park cut a figure beyond reproach.
She has also been skillful at reminding South Koreans of her lineage. Ms. Park's old-fashioned hairdo and dress are reminiscent of those of her mother, who is remembered as a graceful and modest first lady. The legacy of her father, associated with South Korea's modernization, lent Ms. Park credibility as someone who could jolt the country's flagging economy. She ran for office on a pledge of "economic democratization," vowing to correct South Korea's brutally fast development, set forth by her father, with a warm, maternal touch.
Now South Koreans are wondering if Ms. Park — once nicknamed the "queen of elections" for her uncanny ability to pull off victories — was not a political genius after all, and might not even have controlled her own affairs and government. As an editorial in the conservative daily Donga Ilbo asked, "Was this a Choi Soon-sil, not Park Geun-hye, administration?"
Now an object of national ridicule, Ms. Park has paralyzed the political process. The National Assembly is debating its response to the scandal instead of setting next year's budget. Ms. Park's conservative allies are defecting to save their own political careers. The rock-solid support she always enjoyed among voters over 60 has crumbled. One recent poll put her approval rating at 5 percent.
Last week, she apologized to the nation and said she would submit to an inquiry by prosecutors and sever all ties with Ms. Choi. In an attempt to wipe the slate clean, she has dismissed eight aides and appointed a new prime minister. The National Assembly, however, has refused to confirm the appointment, in yet another indication of the president's diminished power.
Ms. Park's gestures come too late. The tide turned against her when Chosun Ilbo, the nation's largest daily, featured in its Chinese-lesson column on Oct. 25 the word for "resignation." That word and another, meaning "impeachment," became the top trending terms on South Korea's two major search portals. Even her emotional apology came across as having a touch of self-interest: she blamed herself for poor judgment, but acknowledged no criminal wrongdoing on her own part. It only added fuel to the people's fury.
Ms. Park has consistently emphasized the importance of self-sacrifice for the nation. If she is to live by her own words, she should resign. Ms. Park has become an obstacle to the progress of the nation she has repeatedly claimed to love.

Q: Find the volume of the set $S=\{x=(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)\in \Bbb{R}^n:0\le x_1\le x_2\le \cdots \le x_n \le 1\}$ Let $$S=\{x=(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)\in \Bbb{R}^n:0\le x_1\le x_2\le \cdots \le x_n \le 1\}$$
Find the volume of the set $S$.
I tried writing it as a multiple integral but it got complicated.

A: We can define a sequence of functions as follows:
$$V_1(x)=\int_0^x1dt=x\\
V_{n+1}(x)=\int_0^xV_n(t)dt$$
Then $V_n(1)$ will be the volume in $\Bbb R^n$. It may look a bit intimidating but really it is just
$$V_n(1)=\int_0^1\int_0^{x_n}\cdots\int_0^{x_3}\int_0^{x_2}dx_1dx_2\cdots dx_{n-1}dx_n$$
Let's try to show that $V_n(x)=\frac{x^n}{n!}$ for all $n$, through induction. The case $n=1$ is true. Assuming there exists a $k$ for which it is true,
$$V_{k+1}(x)=\int_0^xV_k(t)dt=\int_0^x\frac{t^n}{n!}dt=\frac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}$$
So it follows that it is true for $k+1$ as well. Then the volume in $\Bbb R^n$ is
$$V_n(1)=\frac1{n!}$$
as paw88789's answer also stated.

A: You certainly can do this with a multiple integral; but here's another approach.
Imagine picking $n$ values, $X_1, \dots, X_n$ randomly, uniformly, and independently from $[0,1]$.
Then the probability that $X_1\le X_2 \le \cdots \le X_n$ is $\frac{1}{n!}$ (since there are $n!$ orderings of these variables).
But also this probability should equal the proportion of the volume of your region relative to the $n$-dimensional unit hypercube.

A: You are asking to compute the volume of an $n$-dimensional pyramid. It is well known that the volume of a pyramid $P$ (in general of any cone) is:
$$
V(P) = \frac{\text{volume of the base} \times \text{height}}{n}.
$$
Since the base is again a $(n-1)$-dimensional pyramid, and the height is always one, you obtain the result by induction: $\frac{1}{n} \frac{1}{n-1}\dots = \frac{1}{n!}$.
The above formula can be easily proven by Cavalieri principles (or Fubini theorem). The measure of a set can be computed as the integral of the measure of slices. If you slice a cone with a plane parallel to the base you get a figure which is congruent to a rescalement of the base. More precisely, if a cone $C$ has base $B$ and height $h$ you have:
$$
V(C) = \int_0^h \left(\frac{t}{h}\right)^{n-1}V(B)\, dt = \frac{h}{n} V(B).
$$

A: For $n=1$, $S_1$ is a unit line segment and its volume is $V_1 = 1$.
For $n=2$, $S_2$ is a rectangular triangle with $S_1$ as a base and a unit height and $V_2 = \tfrac 12V_1 = \tfrac 12$.
For $n=3$, $S_3$ is a pyramid with $S_2$ in a base and a unit height and $V_3 = \tfrac 13 V_2 = \tfrac 16$.
....
For any $n>1$, $S_n$ is a simplex with $S_{n-1}$ as a base and a unit height and $V_n = \tfrac 1n V_{n-1} = \tfrac 1{n!}$.

New figures released through the Freedom of Information Act have exposed how the government has slashed spending on its rail station access improvement programme over the last five years.
The figures show spending on the Access for All scheme fell from as much as £81.1 million in 2013-14 to just £14.6 million last year.
The figures were released in a freedom of information response by Network Rail to Disability News Service just a day before the government published its new Inclusive Transport Strategy.
Further information in the strategy suggests that the cuts are set to continue this year and next year, apparently with funding of less than £40 million over those two years.
But the strategy also shows that Network Rail's pleas for more funding for the Access for All programme appear to have been successful, with spending due to rise to up to £50 million a year over the following five years, as well as an additional £50 million in deferred funding.
The strategy repeatedly states that this total will be "up to £300 million", suggesting that it could be lower.
DNS has previously revealed that tens of millions of pounds had been cut from funding for the Access for All programme for 2014-19, but this is the first time that the impact of those cuts on year-to-year spending on station access improvements has been revealed.
The freedom of information response shows that spending in 2009-10, the last year of the Labour government, was £53.9 million, falling to £41.2 million in 2010-11, then £50.7 million in 2011-12, £39.7 million in 2012-13, and £81.1 million in 2013-14.
But spending then plunged over the next four years – in the first five-year planning period to begin under the coalition – with just £22.9 million in 2014-15, £24.6 million in 2015-16, £32.1 million in 2016-17 and just £14.6 million last year.
Spending on a new mid-tier programme, which began in 2011-12, for projects costing between £250,000 and £1 million also plunged, from £18.8 million in 2013-14, to £7.1 million in 2014-15, and dropping to as low as £0.9 million in 2017-18.
But he said the figures now made "abundantly clear" the "scale of the impact".
He said the investment of £300 million "after so many years of cuts and deferments" was "very encouraging".
But he added: "All over the country, projects are fully planned and eager to proceed.
"An early injection of capital could see these projects rapidly changing the travel experience for the better for many, not just disabled and older people.
A Network Rail spokesman declined to say if his organisation believed that the cuts to Access for All funding had led to five or six years wasted years in which many other substantial access improvement projects could have been carried out at rail stations across the country.
But he said in a statement: "Network Rail welcomes the government's announcement of £300 million additional funding for the Access for All programme.
The Department for Transport (DfT) refused to defend the critical drop in spending on Access for All from 2014-15 or to confirm that spending would be less than £40 million in total this year and next.
Instead, a DfT spokesman said: "We remain committed to improving accessibility across all modes of transport, and have today announced £300 million of funding to further extend the Access for All programme.
Network Rail has previously said that not all access improvements come through the Access for All programme, as some are funded through large mainstream schemes, such as the redevelopment of London Bridge station and the building of new Crossrail stations.
Apart from the increased funding for Access for All, the government's new strategy offers almost no new money to improve accessible transport.
There will be £2 million for a new "public awareness campaign" to "promote ways of positively interacting with disabled people" on public transport and reduce disability hate crime; £2 million for new Changing Places toilets at motorway service areas in England; and £2 million to speed up the rollout of new audio-visual equipment on buses.
The strategy also includes pledges on improved "disability awareness" training for staff; improved data on inclusivity; and a warning for public transport operators that they face potential legal action if they fail to fulfil their obligations under the Equality Act's public sector equality duty.
It also calls on local authorities to halt all Shared Space street developments that are still at the design stage while the government reviews and updates guidance, and it says DfT will temporarily withdraw its current guidance on shared space.
The strategy says the government's "aspiration" is that by 2030 "all major transport hubs and terminals on both public and private transport networks will meet the needs of disabled people, including toilet and changing facilities, straightforward signage, audio and visual messaging and space to navigate".
But the strategy also makes clear that many potentially controversial or difficult decisions – including whether to impose mandatory insurance on users of mobility scooters, whether to expand the blue badge scheme, what action to take to ensure priority use for the wheelchair spaces in buses for wheelchair-users, whether to tighten laws on local authorities and wheelchair-accessible taxis, and how to ensure better levels of staffing on the railways – have yet to be taken or have been quietly ignored.
Benson said Transport for All welcomed the "very challenging goals" set out in the new strategy, which he said were "much needed".
He added: "We look forward to seeing the details on how they are planning to make transport in this country fully accessible by 2030 and seeing details of the investments that will back it.
"We also hope that the Inclusive Transport Strategy will meet our demands for a transport system that everyone can use.

Some time ago one of my customers asked me to mill a cedar tree that was dying behind a house on a large suburban block. The main trunk was short and almost of no use other than for turning blanks, but there were some rather good branches that I managed to cut into 25mm boards and stacked out to season. The colour was not too bad but the grain a little wild as can be expected from branches.
About 18 months later the people contacted me about making some furniture from this wood. Since they have two sons they asked me to make three sofa tables: one for each of the sons and one for mum and dad. It's a little like the farmer who was breeding chooks with six legs because his wife, himself and his four sons all liked to eat drumsticks!
The wood was well dry by this time. Where I live, in sub-tropical south-east Queensland, 25mm cedar boards will dry in nine months. As I was only able to get the 25mm boards out of the branches the 50mm cedar I needed for the tables came from my own stocks.
I started by sorting out the cedar for the tops and the drop-leaves. Since the branches were a little bowed, and I also had to dock them, I did not have many long boards to play with. The longest was 1400mm, so I ran the grain of the table tops across their length. This also worked out better for hinging the drop-leaves on both ends where the traditional rule joint is used.
Once happy with grain I glued the tops up and put them aside to dry. By doing the things first that you use last the joints have time to settle down.
I used urea glue for the tops as I find white glue gums up the belts on my panel sander. For all the other joinery on the tables I used Syntec AV275.
For the sections where the leaves fold I cut a rule joint on a spindle moulder, using matching round-over and cove bits. Matching router bits could also be used, however the spindle moulder gives a much cleaner finish that doesn't fluff or fur up. Test cuts are made on scrap timber before cutting the two profiles on the top and leaves. The offset hinges required are sold as 'rule joint hinges' by speciality hardware suppliers. They can either be let into the top and leaves or simply screwed on.
If you use the rule joint on the two leaves there is a little trap to watch out for. As the drop-leaf swings down it folds inwards by the amount of radius on the joint itself (usually 10–13mm). So the knob or finger pull of the slide-out support that holds up the leaf has to fit beneath the overhang of the top, less the joint radius. If you overhang the top by 25mm each end, when you fold the leaf down you will be left with only a 12mm space to access the pull-out support.
Above: The carcase for the top and components for the base await assembly.
The two sides are 130mm long, 500mm wide and 20mm thick. I ran the grain vertically so endgrain wouldn't be seen at the front. They are held together with two skeleton frames made out of 45 x 20mm stock. These frames are mortised together but the outside runners and kickers are glued only at the front and are a firm fit into the back blades. To allow for expansion and contraction of the gables you can have a 3–4mm gap at the shoulders.
The 75 x 20mm centre pieces are fully glued. The vertical mullions (45 x 20mm) are mortised through the top and bottom blades and the four blades are dovetailed into the sides.
After assembly, a 25 x 20mm guide is glued between the mullions. When you assemble the unit you should slot screw one or two screws through the runners and kickers into the gables to hold them straight.
Next are the two 15mm thick back panels. I fielded them and left about 7mm flat on the end of each field. After beading the inside and locating the panel, I mitred an 8 x 5mm bullnosed bead around the outside.
Photo 1: The cedar drawer fronts and hoop pine drawer sides were dovetailed together.
Photo 2: Timber buttons are used to attach the top to the drawer unit.
I used a 21mm drawer front and 10mm thick hoop pine sides and back. This saves wood as you can cut a 25mm board in half for the sides. This will look much less bulky on such a small drawer. To stop these narrow drawer sides from cutting into the runners I fitted slips to double their running surface.
A cocked bead around the drawer fronts finished them off, and at the request of the customer I supplied traditional wooden screw-on knobs. Stops were fitted at the back of the drawers.
Each leg frame consists of a foot, two columns with a panel in between and a 21 x 45mm top piece. Each foot is made from four pieces of cedar, including two glued-on bottom wings and a 10mm capping piece. The columns have a 40mm long dowel turned at the bottom and a 20mm long dowel turned at the top.
I didn't want the leg system to look too busy with fancy turning so I went for straight turning with the addition of a few 5mm beads. To get a good line on the straight part of the turning and nicely rounded beads is not as easy as it might look—I found the tapered stretcher much easier to turn. I also think it would not look out of place if you used two stretcher rails.
The panel is 15mm cedar, fielded on both sides with a mitred and moulded frame that is nailed at the top and bottom only, to hide the nails. I decided not to fit the panels at this stage as it would be easier to screw them in place (top and bottom) after polishing.
I don't like staining my jobs,but if I have to I will. The cedar was a little pale but started to brown a little as I was working with it, and in time I think it will tone down nicely. After fine sanding I gave the tables two coats of sanding sealer and three coats of nitrocellulose lacquer.
It is very satisfying to use timber you have milled and dried yourself. This job also has all the good solid and traditional ways of making furniture. You could change things around a little but I wouldn't cheapen it just to save a little time. Diagrams and a cutting list for the tables are shown above.

10fingers11toes is the nom-de-guerre of A.J. Gallardo, the man behind the music of Varsity Punks. Born and raised in El Monte, A.J.'s parallels to Varsity Punks extend beyond just sharing the same hometown as director Anthony Solorzano; he is a D.I.Y. rebel and a runner, too.
A.J. writes and performs as a solo act, but is also on several local bands, such as 4340, Heroin House Fires (whose song, "All My Time," was featured on Varsity Punks' promo clips titled "Footrace Fridays"). But ultimately what made him the ideal fit for Varsity Punks was simply his nuanced understanding of the film.
A.J.'s unconventional approach to composing has produced the raw, lo-fi sound that helps tell the story of Varsity Punks—a sound that is detailed and complex but comes from eccentric beginnings.
Whether his unorthodox composing is inventive or simply pragmatic, his way of making music exploits the idiosyncrasies of any object that can be tangentially defined as a musical instrument. At times he even uses everyday items as musical instruments to form a beat.

In a new video released today, the Crystal Dynamics development team provides a deeper dive into Marvel's Avengers gameplay, story, AIM narrative, mission variety, Super Hero customization, and much more.
Marvel's Avengers offers players a truly rich experience, with a combination of Hero Missions and Warzone Missions. Hero Missions are single-player only and are part of the overall Campaign. These Hero Missions are designed to showcase each hero's unique abilities as you reassemble them to your growing roster. Warzone Missions can be played solo or with a group of up to four players as any Hero in your roster. Each mission dynamically scales based on the team size and player level.
Players in Marvel's Avengers will also be able to customize Earth's Mightiest Heroes in a number of ways. While each Super Hero will play true to their unique power sets, each will have the flexibility to play different based on the gear you equip and the skills you enable. Each hero has dynamic combo systems, Heroic moves, an intrinsic ability, and signature move sets to unlock and customize. You'll also be able to customize these iconic Super Heroes with classic, fan-favorite, and all-new original outfits inspired by over 80-years of Marvel history.
To ensure a heroic experience for all players, Marvel's Avengers narrative will progress over multiple years with every new post release Super Hero and region delivered to players at no additional cost if you own the core game.
For more exclusive information on Marvel's Avengers, head over to the PlayStation Blog now for an exclusive interview with Studio Creative Director at Crystal Dynamics, Noah Hughes.
Finally, in case you missed it, earlier this month we revealed that fan-favorite Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel, is the latest playable Super Hero in Marvel's Avengers. Players begin their journey as Kamala Khan and learn the origins of her extraordinary powers. As the story expands, Kamala plays an essential role in bringing the disbanded Avengers back together. As each Super Hero rejoins the roster, players must master their unique abilities, rebuild and customize the team to face increasingly evolving threats only the Avengers together can defeat.
Play the beta first on PS4. Marvel's Avengers assemble on May 15, 2020.


T-Storm warning issued for Delaware Co.
Hartford City was one of the worst hit areas during overnight floods.
After nearly 10 inches of rain in East Central Indiana, many streets and yards remain under water.
The eastern half of Delaware County and most of Randolph County were under a flash flood warnings until 3:30 p.m. All of Blackford County and most of Jay County also saw flood alerts for most of the day.
Reports suggested that strongest blow was felt in Blackford County, where residents saw the tops of cars barley skimming the surface of flood waters. The Blackford County Emergency Management's Facebook page cited a report of 9.7 inches of rain on West Elm Street in Hartford City. Blackford schools were cancelled due to the weather.
IU Health Blackford Hospital was blocked off by standing water for much of the day but has since resumed normal operation. The high water levels were said to be caused by an overflowed retention pond. Ambulance traffic was diverted for part of the day but has also resumed. At 5:54 p.m. water levels around the hospital were still high and caution was encouraged by hospital staff.
Sheila Murrell of the Hartford City Department said the county's emergency dispatch lines were down so most communication between emergency personnel had to be done via cell phone. 911 calls from Blackford County residents were being routed to Delaware County dispatch, who then contacts Blackford County emergency personnel.
Friday morning flooding of Madison Street underpass swallows another car.
Murrell reported most incidents this morning involved stranded motorists. She said no neighborhoods or specific streets had been evacuated because of the flooding. All available emergency personnel in Blackford County, Murrell said, has been called into work the situation.
In Delaware County, the heavy rain caused numerous flooding problems in the city of Muncie and in rural areas Friday morning.
"There's portions of all streets that have high water on them," said city street Supt. Duke Campbell.
Campbell said city crews and those from the Muncie Sanitary District spent much of the day clearing drains.
"The sanitary district has a truck in each quadrant of the city, cleaning drains," Campbell said. "We have our people out, every available person, cleaning the tops of drains."
The city blocked two major city streets because of high water.
Campbell said the city blocked off South Walnut Street near 18th Street. And crews have installed barricades at the Madison Street underpass because of flooding.
Campbell said barricades that were placed at the underpass on Thursday because of standing storm water had been removed overnight. They eventually had to be replaced as heavy rains continued.
In terms of major emergencies, Delaware County Emergency Management Agency director Jason Rogers said as of 9 a.m., "we're in pretty good shape."
Delta High School was without partial power this morning, causing an early dismissal at 10 a.m.
According to I&M's website, there were no other major power outages to report in Delaware County. Blackford County currently has 123 customers without power.
Delaware County EMA reported to The Star Press that two homes were suspected of being struck by lightning during overnight hours. The incidents caused damage to the homes, but the extent of that damage or location of the homes was not immediately available.
According to Delaware County EMA, 4.87 inches of rainfall over the last 24 hours has been recorded at the Delaware County Airport.
Outside of Muncie, in areas like Nottingham Addition near Nebo and Bethel, school buses couldn't enter some neighborhood streets, said resident Tom Malapit.
"It is very flooded," he told The Star Press.
The problem with some rural drains, Delaware County Commissioner Larry Bledsoe said, is that they get filled with leaves, sand and other run-off "that clog up our drains."
"Then we have an event like this, with three or four inches of rain plus," Bledsoe said. "There's not a lot else we can do. It's a lot of stormwater."


Most people who are struggling with excess weight, know that it is impossible to melt fat overnight, especially if you sit and do not do nothing. The only answer to remove belly fat is the correct combination of aerobic exercise and regulation of the daily diet.
Kate Adams, publisher of books on health and nutrition and the founder of the club "Flat Tummy Club" is like many of us who fall into the trap of everyday sitting in front of a computer, as it has led to overweight and fat deposits in the stomach and hips. Sam has developed an outstanding program of exercise and diet with which it is possible to lose 3 kg in just 7 days.
She gathered a lot of knowledge and experience during his ten years of work, Kate has developed a unique program that provides more than good results. In the first week she lost 3 pounds, and in the next two months, she lost 12 more pounds of body weight. Read on to learn how to remove belly fat for seven days after the guide Kate Adams!
When we look at our stomach it throws us into a depression and the thought of removing the swimsuit or bikini is out of the question. Do not despair, most ladies feels the same as you, of course you're not alone, especially now in the spring, many of us have this problem that is followed by the lack of confidence.
With proper diet and exercise, it is possible to achieve great results and to remove belly fat. This newfound secret Kate only told her friends, and then founded the now famous club.
Take notes on what, when and how much you eat. Also write down your measures in order to later compare it with the results we have achieved. You may think that this is totally unnecessary, but the notes will definitely help you make a plan and you will find your weak points in the implementation of the diet. It is necessary to rest, because cortisol - a stress hormone that is released on this occasion, forces our bodies to store fat deposits in the stomach.
To remove fatty deposits from the stomach, it is necessary to strictly follow the plan that is listed in eight counts.
You need to eat three main meals a day and 5 small snack consisting of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Do not be hungry. If you have a need to purchase salty snacks, it would be best to replace them with healthy snacks.
Start your day with a glass of lukewarm water into which you squeeze a lemon. Hot water with lemon helps to more easily and more quickly remove the fat belly. During the day, drink at least eight glasses of lukewarm water or consume unsweetened mild herbal tea. Preparation of the drink with lemon: in a glass of lukewarm water squeeze half a lemon and drink as soon as you wake up on an empty stomach. During the day it is recommended to drink two to three glasses of water with lemon. If you cannot stand the taste of sour lemon, you can add stevia to sweeten it up a bit.
Be sure to try to avoid bread during the day, because it increases weight - with some exceptions. Instead of sandwiches, healthier is to eat a plate of medicinal vegetable soup.
Replace sweets with seasonal fruit or good quality dark chocolate.
Be careful with salt. Avoid additional salting food and encourage water retention which makes you feel inflated. If you necessary salting, the recommendation is to use Himalayan salt.
Eat slowly and peacefully and do not do it in front of TV or computer.
Reduce the quantity of portions on your plate. In the beginning, it is possible that everything will be hard but trust that you will soon feel much better it will be easier to burn off belly fat and you will not overeat - which is today very often among the population.
WHAT FOOD IS RECOMMENDED FOR WEIGHT LOSS AROUND THE STOMACH?
Good choices is organic oatmeal because they are full of fiber and do not cause bloating and create a feeling of satiety. Yogurt is excellent for a snack, and you can eat it with honey and fresh seasonal fruit. A big plus is that it helps with digestion and metabolism. You should avoid yogurt with extremely low percentage of fat, because it promotes the bloating of the stomach – always drink regular probiotic yogurt.
Fruit acids contained in nuts, avocados, various seeds and dark chocolate are very healthy and you can eat them every day. Green tea is an antioxidant that is good for the health of the whole body and helps for belly fat to be melted. It affects the regulation of blood sugar, and is an excellent diuretic.
Cucumber is also an excellent food that helps in expelling excess fluid from the body. Eat it with bark because bark promotes digestion and contributes to quickly removal of excess fat and belly fat.
A few simple exercises will help you to quickly get to the finish line. Take 30 minutes a day to exercise in order to get a perfectly flat stomach in a week, and be persistent, do not give up easily.
You need to lie on your back, bend your legs, and lift only the upper body. View is diverted to the ceiling. This exercise is done in 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
Lie on your back, legs slightly bend in the knees, arms are raised toward the ceiling. With the breath lift the upper body, and with a gasp return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise in 4 sets of 8 reps.
Lying on your back, lift your legs at right angles, and put the hands on your head. Now push your elbows as much as you can backwards. From this position, touch the left knee with the right elbow and vice versa. Do three sets with 8 reps. These exercises are excellent to quickly remove belly fat.

@liliana that would be so wonderful. And make it easier to decentralise the energy system I would have thought.
@liliana Awfully clever, those things. Interestingly, even most regular solar panels absorb most of their photons in the infrared.
I'm thinking of all the greenhouses that could be built with solar panels. I would think they would be able to sell their excess back to the grid.
Very interesting article, thanks for sharing this!

Soar at top speeds and glide above the world on SeaWorld® Orlando's Manta®. Start with an inverted nosedive and feel the forces of the sea! This flying coaster gives you the experience of a giant, flying ray, while gliding you over water through its one-of-a-kind twists and turns! Face-down, you're lying parallel to the coaster track, making Manta® the ultimate thrill at SeaWorld® Orlando!
A Frog Family favorite, for sure! Manta® easily ranks as one of Tad's top 5 Orlando coasters. It has a height requirement of 54" so Lily still has a few years before she can ride. That's good news for Mommy Frog though; the inversions make her dizzy.
Manta® is an outdoor roller coaster located between Stingray Lagoon® and Dolphin Nursery at SeaWorld® Orlando. The duration of the ride is about 3 minutes. Each row of the coaster seats four people. Each seat has a pull-down shoulder restraint. There is no floor to the ride vehicles, so your feet dangle. Guests must transfer from their wheelchair/ECV to the ride vehicle by themselves or with the assistance of a party member. Those using wheelchairs/ECVs will enter through the main ride entrance.
Ride Manta® as soon as you enter the park after opening. Midday lines can be long!
Be aware that riders cannot carry anything with them onto to the ride, but there are pay lockers where you can store your things outside. If you are wearing non-lacing shoes, you must store them in the hanging baskets at the exit.
There are a total of 4 inversions on Manta®; it reaches top speeds of 56 miles per hour.
Manta®, designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, opened on May 22, 2009.


As called for in its Strategic Management Plan (SMP), OSHA is continuing to identify ways to improve the safety and health of immigrants and other hard-to-reach workers and employers. In that spirit, OSHA's Region VIII partnered with the Mexican Consulate in Denver by participating in the consulate's "Mobile Consulate" program to provide outreach and assistance to Mexican workers in Colorado.
On September 7 and October 25, 2003, Spanish-speaking compliance officers from both the Denver Area Office and the Englewood Area Office participated in the Consulate's Mobile Consulate program. Over those two days, the OSHA compliance officers contacted over 450 Mexican workers. The Mobile Consulate provides Mexican workers living and working in some of the more remote areas of Colorado with an opportunity to meet with their consulate representatives, process legal documents, and get information without traveling to the Consulate building in Denver. The Mobile Consulate is generally held on one Saturday per month in areas of the state with high Mexican immigrant populations.
The two OSHA Area Offices participated in the Mobile Consulate program to provide Mexican workers with information about their rights under the Occupational Safety and Health Act and answer questions about basic safety and health issues. Most importantly, the OSHA representatives also provided these workers with names and contact information for bilingual resources in the Area Offices should they require future assistance. Region VIII believes that providing this resource for Mexican workers in Colorado will minimize the workers' hesitation of working with OSHA and will ultimately eliminate job site hazards and prevent injuries and illnesses.
In December 2003, the Denver and Englewood Area Offices signed an Alliance with the Mexican Consulate in Denver to continue to pursue opportunities to work together to protect Mexican workers in Colorado. The Denver District Offices of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division are also parties to this Alliance.
For more information, please contact Megan Meagher, OSHA's Compliance Assistance Specialist in the Denver, Colorado Area Office.


Post Graduate Level 7 – this means that anyone booking on this course needs to have done a first training in counselling or psychotherapy.
It would also be useful with regards to the experiential part of this course and the application that people have or are already working with clients.
What is supervision? The word has many meanings. It means to oversee and holds some connotations of authority and a hierarchical form of learning. It is used in counselling and psychotherapy, in the medical and nursing fields, in social work, and in aspects of teaching and general care of others. It implies a code of conduct and it carries an element of protection and safety in its overall application. Holloway 1992 says that supervision provides an opportunity for the student to capture the essence of the psychotherapeutic process as it is articulated and modelled by the supervisor thus recreating it in the counselling relationship.Lambert 1980 described supervision as part of an overall training of mental health professionals that deals with modifying their actual in-therapy behaviours.
In general, supervision may be seen as either training supervision or consultative supervision. Supervision is part of the overall training and educational needs of the health professional and there are many supervision model and styles to look at.
Here at the Institute we are offering a five-day course spread over a period of five modules.
We will look at the meaning of supervision as it applies in your field of work whether you work individually or in a group setting, in psychotherapy, counselling or in the areas of social work, nursing, clinical psychology or psychiatry or indeed any of the caring professions.
In this module we will bring together the various strands of what we have been looking at in the previous modules, and hopefully find an integrative view of supervision which will suit your own particular style.
Bookable online (click the shop icon below the dates) or by card by telephoning the Institute on 0161-862 9456.
NEW May-July Supervision course (FRIDAYS) 5 days.
Please note: the summer course dates below are now full. (Hence the new Supervision course above).
At the Manchester Institute we offer a Psychotherapy Training in Transactional Analysis.
This course is recognised by the European Association for Transactional Analysis and leads to UKCP registration.
This course is taught from an Integrative perspective – you will also be able to apply for the European Certificate in Integrative Psychotherapy-after completion of EAIP requirements if you wish.
Please note – that by training with this Institute, students will be given a placement in their second year of training and therefore will have the opportunity to start working with clients within the training programme and will be given supervision to that end. You can find out more information about this placement on this page (click here).


Dr. Laub is the master with fillers. The most astonishing difference between Dr. Laub and other providers is the he works more like an artist paining on a canvas. They apply topical, then you sit, then you get treatment, then ice, then he comes back to "paint" a little more. He does this until he is satisfied with your "portrait", if you will. He takes his time, never rushed the process. The result is always a more natural, refreshed you and never overdone.
I would categorize my cosmetic procedures as miracles. For me they have been life changing. I have a young spirit and don't look old so I wanted to look more like I felt. But I had very dark spots covering my entire face, neck and chest for over 25 years. Dr. Laub's office was supportive while giving me options to help me make the decision for the best treatment. My husband was skeptical that there would be any actual difference. When he saw my results he said "You've taken 10 years off of your face!" I'm so happy and so is my husband.
I have known Dr. David Laub since 2000. I am particularly grateful to Dr. Laub for the various surgical procedures he has performed on me. I have had several serious basal cell cancers that required removal. His skill in the analysis and resolution of skin problems is second to none in my opinion. He has always made me feel that I'm in expert hands. He has performed at least six surgeries on my skin, several of them quite extensive. Dr. Laub is extremely caring and conscientious. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an expert in the field of dermatological care.
When my husband and I first met Dr. Laub over ten years ago, our young daughter had just been treated for a rare radial melanoma. Following a consultation with Dr. Laub, he stepped in and managed the biopsy results, consulting with two of the best national professionals to make sure margins were clear and made sure she was getting the optimal care. Dr. Laub is a man of integrity. During my various cosmetic treatments including, Botox, Restylane, and lasers, he seamlessly guides the process without pushing or persuading me to do anything beyond comfort. I love the results I receive from the office and endorse him and his staff for both my dermatological and cosmetic needs.

Q: How to find the number of rows in a range after filtering The code gives me: Application defined or object defined error.
Sub test()

Dim rCell As Range
    Set rCell = Rows(1, 0).Offset(2, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Cells(1, 1)
    If rCell <> "" Then
        MsgBox rCell.Value
    End If
End Sub

I want to know whether there is a value in the cell on the second row (since the first row is the header) that is visible after I have filtered some data.
I'm filtering a database and most of the time after one filter it will have the data required but sometimes it still needs additional filtering.
Another way to look at my problem is: If there are more than two visible rows, continue with the filtering program, else continue macro.

A: Okay, so here's how you could get a count of the visible rows in a range or on the worksheet:
Function VisibleRowcount() As Long

    Dim count As Long

    With ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
        For i = 1 To .Areas.count
            For j = 1 To .Areas(i).Rows.count
                count = count + 1
            Next j
        Next i
    End With

    VisibleRowcount = count

End Function

Since what you really want is to do more operations if x amount of rows are still visible after filtering, here's how you would use this function to solve your problem:
Sub main()

    If VisibleRowcount > 2 Then
        'your code here
    End If

End Sub

Note that my function does not like you if there are no visible cells after a filter. Sometimes it likes to return 1, sometimes 0 - but my testing has so far been correct on cases where at least one cell still is showing.

If you're reading this in the future and you would like for it to handle cases with no visible cells, let me know via comments and i'll revisit this :)
