The Provincetown-Massachusetts Dahlia Society (PMDS) was established in 2011 by a handful of members who shared a common love for dahlias and were looking to connect with like-minded people and for a network of help and support that was lacking in our state. It's been five years since and although we are no longer the new kids on the block, we have very much retained our nonchalant approach to dahlia growing, showing, and education. We believe dahlias are a lot of fun and invite you to share in the joy.

text:
Q: jQuery cookie sets boolean value as string I'm working with a cookie, setting other code varibles using the value of the cookie.
I have defined data about the default state of the cookie as so:
const Cookie = {
  config: {
    name: 'Test_Cookie',
    expire: 1,
    value: true,
  },
...
}

When criteria are met, the cookie gets set for the first time, using this.config.value to set the value of the cookie to true:
  setCookie: function () {
    if (!this.isCookieSet()) {
      $.cookie(this.config.name, this.config.value, this.config.expire);
    }
  },

However, I am finding when I return the cookie value in the code I get "true" back as a string rather than just true. For example (name changed in above example for simplicity):

If I try to do a comparison on the value of the cookie, and use === true I get a false result. If I do === "true" then I get a true result:
showStuff = $.cookie('Test_Cookie') === "true"; // showStuff = true;

OR
showStuff = $.cookie('Test_Cookie') === true; // showStuff = false;

Why does the variable type of the cookie value change when set?

A: Cookies are strings. You'll need to convert the cookie value to the type you want. The boolean values are being saved as true or false because that's the string representation of a boolean.
You can use the following.
var myBool = Boolean($.cookie('Test_Cookie'));
or
var myBool = ($.cookie('Test_Cookie') === "true");
EDIT
As suggested in the first comment by @DelightedD0D:
You could also try -  $.cookie('Test_Cookie') === "true"

A: For future readers: You can check against the string value as noted in other answers or convert it to a Boolean value for greater flexibility.
function stringToBoolean(string) {
  switch(string.toLowerCase()) {
    case "false": case "no": case "0": case "": return false;
    default: return true;
  }
}

const isTrue = stringToBoolean("true");
const isFalse = !isTrue;

Hercules House
London Waterloo
Year complete
Bespoke Blend
Hercules House, originally a 133,000 sq ft 1960s government office building, was best known as the home of the now defunct Central Office of Information. It has recently been given a complete makeover and transformed into a luxury four-star hotel, Park Plaza London Waterloo...
Located on London's Southbank in close proximity to London Waterloo Station, Hercules House has taken its place among a London skyline which features iconic landmarks such as Tate Modern, Royal Festival Hall and the National Theatre. The vibrant full-service hotel, including first class facilities such as a swimming pool, spa, roof top lounge and on-site dining, has been designed to form its own distinctive character, whilst being recognisable as a Park Plaza Hotel, and ensuring that the building relates, integrates, and invigorates the local area.
London architects ESA, were tasked with transforming the tired and dated former office building into a stand-out 494-room Park Plaza hotel for the PPHE Hotel Group.
Nick Everitt, Project Lead at ESA told us "we stripped everything out, right back to the concrete frame and added an additional extension of four floors. We then infilled the atria's to create a floor plan suitable for the hotel building and room layout. The building was split into two parts in terms of the design, the four-storey podium building at the front and a connecting tower block building to the rear which were addressed separately".
Taylor Maxwell's Alan Gordon and Paul Mears were involved in the design stages of Hercules House, and worked closely with the architects at ESA to guide them through the process of creating a bespoke blend of brick cladding colours that would enhance the building's elevations, whilst remaining sympathetic to the local surroundings.
"Originally when we first were designing the scheme, we had a traditional facing brick elevation to the podium with a brick slip system to the tower. Ultimately, the reason we went with the Corium brick cladding system for the podium was that it was a mechanically fixed system which we preferred to use on buildings over a certain height" Nick explained.
"We called in Alan and Paul from Taylor Maxwell and ran them through the project. We worked together to put some technical details together and then a lot of the initial process was trying to pick the right brick and colour match to the existing architecture of the area."
The process involved a number of meetings and discussions with the Corium factory in Germany to bring together a palette of four colours that ESA would then propose to the planners.
"As we were going in to the planners for a material change, whatever we chose needed to be right. There were a lot of local brickwork studies carried out within the local area" Nick recalled, "we took into consideration the mosaic designs present on the original building, and picked colours that would replicate the brickwork locally."
"That's where we got a lot of help from Alan & Paul, they came in quite a few times to the office and spoke with us at length to help create a bespoke blend of colours. It took a while but we got there in the end and the colour scheme we created for the podium was a warm palette of four tiles".
As part of the design brief, the architects wanted a brick cladding system that could be pre-fabricated offsite in manageable sized panels, enabling a quick install on site. A unitised system was adopted, where Spanish fabricators Folcra manufactured individual units of floor to ceiling height that each included one window and wall. This unit included both the internal and external skins of the building which could be craned into place and bolted on to the concrete frame.
Nick told us, "the fabricators installed the Corium backing rails onto the unitised panel ready for the Corium extruded tiles to be installed and mortared in situ in the UK".
Corium is a unique brick cladding system manufactured by Wienerberger and supplied exclusively in the UK by Taylor Maxwell. The system combines the natural beauty of genuine brick, with cost effective fast track installation and offers a facing brick veneer finish for projects where a cladding system faux brick wall is required rather than traditionally laid brickwork. Over 1200m2 of the Corium brick cladding system was supplied to the podium facade at Hercules House.
The Corium brick cladding element certainly stands out on this project and is a great example of how the architect can specify their own bespoke blend of colours on their projects"
Alan Gordon
Specification Team - Taylor Maxwell
Through a collaborative design and development process the team at ESA Architects have achieved a contemporary, high quality and sustainable design that interacts with its surroundings and provides a catalyst for future regeneration and the development of the local vicinity.
Alan Gordon commented, "the Corium brick cladding element certainly stands out on this project and is a great example of how the architect can specify their own bespoke blend of colours on their projects".
Nick Everitt added, "I've been down to the site every couple of weeks over the last year and I really like the fact that in different lights it appears to show different colours which I think is very interesting".
After working with Taylor Maxwell Nick concluded, "they've always been contactable which is very helpful and Alan has always been ready to come to site and meet us if necessary which is great. We've had some challenges on this site, but Taylor Maxwell have always helped us as much as they can".

Taking Action Now: Making the District More Climate Resilient
Catastrophic wildfires in Australia and California have shown us that the effects of climate change are already here. They will get worse. For the District, this could mean heat emergencies that last three months and flooding that leaves significant portions of our city unlivable and unusable. The communities most vulnerable to weather events, who often live in less-valuable flood-prone areas, are also the most economically vulnerable and have the fewest resources to prepare.
The Federal City Council and the architecture and design firm Gensler co-hosted an event yesterday to zero-in on the District's resilience. Francisco Gonzalez, Co-Managing Director and Principal of Gensler, welcomed the attendees, and Kevin Bush, the District's Chief Resilience Officer, moderated the discussion. Panelists included Stephanie Gidigbi, Director of Policy & Partnerships a the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Uwe Brandes, Professor of Urban & Regional Planning at Georgetown University and Kate Johnson, Chief of the Green Building and Climate Branch at the DC Department of Energy & Environment.
Fortunately the District is taking climate resilience planning very seriously. Mayor Bowser has committed to making the District carbon neutral and climate resilient by 2050. The path there is being laid by the Clean Energy Act, which was passed last year. The Urban Land Institute, led by Ed Walter, published a must-read study on the bill from the perspective of the business community. The bill will transition the District to run on all renewable electricity and half carbon emissions by 2032. It also requires new building energy standards. Buildings account for three-quarters of the District's greenhouse gas emissions. Starting next year in 2021, any buildings below a median energy star score will have five years to improve its energy performance. These upgrades will be expensive. The District is getting close to launching a Green Bank to help with the financing.
At the urging of the Federal City Council, DC applied for and received a large grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to plan a resilience strategy as part of the 100 Resilient Cities network. She hired Chief Resilience Officer Kevin Bush in 2017 and in 2019 his office published Resilient DC, which lays out resilience goals, objectives and initiatives.
This challenge is uniquely interdisciplinary. The full power of the government and private sector needs to be engaged to coordinate policies on housing, poverty, education, the environment, budgeting and transportation. Inclusive growth and more workforce housing, for example, makes the city more resilient.
Stephanie Gidigbi made the case for a P4 model that puts people first. Experts need to go to the community to hear their perspective. She pointed out, "You can never be an expert of a home you've never lived in."
Kate Johnson has spent a lot of time with local DC communities doing this kind of listening. In Ward 7 meetings, local residents landed on three resilience priorities—two of which involved workforce development. They wanted to make sure their community could benefit from any economic development investments that were coming as part of the District's larger resilience strategy. The other priority was to create a local "resilience hub" in the event of a crisis, with backup power, food and shelter.
Uwe Brandes does not doubt that we can achieve the Mayor's goals of carbon neutrality and climate resilience by 2050. As far in the future as this may seem, the infrastructure investment cycle is now. We need full court press now from the government and private sector.
Uwe rounded out the discussion by reminding the audience that as daunting as these challenges seem, the solution lies in more economic expansion, not less. "We need to grow our way out of these problems," he said. We are lucky in the District that we have a thriving economy, which should make achieving climate resilience more manageable. Making the District more resilient is also making our city a better place. It's a business opportunity to participate in this effort—and in the end, there could be more prosperity for everyone.

Fixes a bad assumption in sensor calibration code, which assumed that uORB instance ID == the ID of the file descriptor (e.g /dev/sensor_gyroX) for a sensor. This would lead to offsets being applied to the wrong sensor depending on the race between driver instantiation and uORB advertisement. This was hidden so far because of the startup order of sensors on non-v4Pro and non-v5 boards.
Enables temperature compensation and boot-calibration for HMC5x83 mags running on v4Pro and v5 hardware, which should improve performance in general.
Fixes MPU9250 mag driver to properly publish it's device ID.
Fixes LIS3MDL mag driver to properly publish it's device ID.
Adds checks to the sensor calibration code which will fail the calibration if there are inconsistencies in device IDs (usually pointing to a buggy sensor driver) so that we can catch them out and fix them. These problems have remained hidden so far because nothing was forcing a sanity check.
Test flights on Pixhawk 1 / Pixhawk Mini, Pixhawk 2.1, Pixracer and Pixhawk Pro. Full parameter reset and redo all calibrations before flying.
Bench tests on Snapdragon Flight / Bebop / RPi to make sure that calibration still works as normal.
Done. Also extended to include Excelsior boards.
Side note : These defines are yuck.
We still need the fix is more places, I think. Flight test on Pixhawk Pro with correct mag orientation showed toiletbowling, so it seems that there is something still wrong. Will keep working on this.
Can you please share a log? I don't think that validating it using a flight says anything about correctness - it just says that the system you flew wasn't right.
It could be that the calibration data was wrongly assigned and is now correctly, etc. Please try to check separately for correctness and we'll handle any churn (e.g. a required re-calibration) separately iff required.
However, since now we only set the rotation matrix on startup, it would require a reboot after calibration. I added the @reboot_required flags to the params, but this might need some more support on QGC calibrator side to properly propagate up to the user.
pixhawk mini; good flight, no issues.
@Avysuarez @PX4TestFlights OK, looks good. Can you test on v4 hardware? Normally it would not tell us much because v1-v4 hardware didn't expose the bug, but I will give you a custom binary in that case, which will force that situation. It would be good to fly with the board and external compass rotated (on yaw) with respect to the frame (any rotation should do). Make sure you reset params and recalibrate, setting the correct orientations during calibration.
@santiago3dr @Avysuarez Thanks for the testing. Looks good!
@LorenzMeier Good to merge after CI passes, and we make sure that QGC asks for a reboot after setting board/compass rotation.
@jywilson @mcharleb Can you please test this on Snapdragon? Please do a parameter reset and recalibrate all sensors to make sure that the calibration routine still functions properly. A bench test will be enough.

Alliance for Community Action executive director Laura Miti has challenged the PF government to take civil society organisations out of business by simply reducing poverty among Zambians.
And governance activist Pamela Chisanga says because of the government's intolerance and aversion to listen to citizens, she feels like she is trespassing when she is near State House.
"[But] I think that the biggest worry is that we have a whole government that seems not to understand exactly how the country is feeling and fails to respond. So, the President and the Cabinet needs to listen to the people, needs to speak to the people. They could actually put us (CSOs) out of business. They could actually silence us by simply giving the people the answers to the questions they have, mostly by holding government to account," she said.
Miti asserted that Zambia's resources ought to trickle down and be able offer to a minimum standard of living for everybody.
"Again, we say to those in government; this is not personal [but] it is about our Zambia. We don't want to make you personally unhappy, to make you fail to sleep or for you to fail to enjoy your power. We believe that you have that power on behalf of the majority and right now, we do not like the way the country we are living in is being run. If you changed it even tomorrow, you could take us out of business. So, we challenge government; take us out of business, give us nothing to talk about. Make the poor not [to] suffer to the extent to which they are because we all have only this Zambia," emphasised Miti.
"When we raise these issues, it doesn't matter how and where you raise them; we are not being listened to. One of the things that have really shocked me is the current Head of State because he, of all people, is one of those few that had the opportunity to walk into a room where we were sitting as civil society organisations with the late Head of State, Michael Sata. We were arguing with him (Sata) and challenging him on issues. A number of times, most of the ministers that are in the current government saw us go into State House and engaging the Head of State as civil society organisations leaders. We knew that we had that opportunity and we could go and stand at the gate there and demand to see the Head of State. Of course, we know that there are protocols and all these things…" She explained.
Chisanga observed that the trend currently at State House was different.
"Today if you go to the gates of State House, you will not find anybody there! But in a normal democracy, citizens should feel that they have an opportunity to be heard. They should feel safe even to walk up to the gate of State House and simply say 'is the Head of State in? I just want to say hi to him. Please tell him [that] I'm a citizen of this country; I was passing by the gate here….' Right now whenever I'm passing there (near State House,) I always feel like I'm trespassing. I don't feel like it's a place where you can be entertained, tolerated and listened to. That's not a nice place for us to be as Zambians," said Chisanga.

Q: Can iPhones with ActiveSync use Exchange shared mailboxes? I have a team that all have privileges configured in Exchange to give them read/write access to the Inbox, and send-as privileges, for a shared mailbox.  This works great on Outlook, where they can log in with their credentials and just pick "Open these additional mailboxes" in Outlook's account settings.
There doesn't seem to be anything precisely parallel to this in the iPhone, and the Googling I've done suggests that the easy way won't work on the iPhone.
But where things get really odd is that I don't seem to be able to add another Exchange mailbox on the iPhone with the shared mailbox's username and password.  Every time I try to authenticate, I get a password error, despite validating the server settings and the password repeatedly.
How can I get this team the ability to receive, move/delete, and respond to emails for this shared Exchange account from their iPhones?

A: As of August 2013, Exchange ActiveSync doesn't support shared Exchange accounts.  This isn't an iPhone issue, but rather with the ActiveSync protocol.
One option would be to use Outlook Web Access to access the shared Exchange account.  This would allow the team to do everything that you've outlined here.
Another option would be to set the individual Exchange accounts for the team to automatically copy mails from the shared account into a folder on the individual's Exchange account.  However, I don't think that this will meet your needs, especially moving/deleting and responding to mails from the shared account.  I mention it for the sake of completeness.

A: to access the Shared Mail Box on iPhone go to settings accounts Then Other
enter the email address then in User Name field enter youremailhere/yoursharedemailhere use the / to identify the shared email enter your email password for main mailbox

A: Alternatively, going against recommended security practices, ensure the organizational mailbox account is enabled, then allow the login credentials to be shared and connect to it as if it were a normal user's email account.
Of course, for accountability and non-repudiation, this is not a viable option in the corporate or government offices.  Consequently, I just say Microsoft get with the program and enable support for organizational accounts with ActivSync so customers can have a true enterprise level solution.
Other options such as using OWA are beyond rational thinking; perhaps Microsoft has never tried accessing an OWA account from smart phone to see how unrealistic it is.  And thoughts of using mail forwarding options only increases administrative burdens to unreasonable levels as well.

If plot is what's on the surface of a film, easily visible to the audience, then the theme is what's under the surface… kinda hidden like a secret gem, waiting to be uncovered. Themes are sometimes called a life lesson or a message, and the best ones are always subtle.
"WITNESS has a point of view. Love cannot bridge the gap of two different worlds. In THE AFRICAN QUEEN, the opposite is true. Love can bridge the gap of two different worlds. […] The message in CHINATOWN is this: You can get away with murder if you have enough money."- David Trottier, author of The Screenwriter's Bible: A Complete Guide to Writing, Formatting, and Selling Your Script .
Though these two writers define theme differently, their interpretations are still pretty similar. Notice how Trottier's examples still have thematic words like "love" and "money" that define what the movie is about. And regardless of what you call it, your film will always have a moral and a message. The important thing is that you know what you are trying to convey with your film, so that you can be consistent and effective.
And on this point both writers agree. Howard calls it a "thesis" and you don't wanna bang your audience's head too much with it. They paid $20 for entertainment, not a sermon.
Theme is NOT the Same as Conflict!
Some of these overlap. High Noon, for instance, is both a Man vs. Society and a Man vs. Man kind of plot.
Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954) tells the story of a handicap photographer (James Stewart) who suspects a murder has happened in his apartment complex after noticing abnormal events unfold from his living room window. This is the forefront of the movie; its plot. Nobody gets out of the theater not knowing that.
The theme, however, is subtle. Most people that have watched Rear Window may or may not have grasped what its theme is. Since themes are delicate and subjective, scholars and critics may occasionally debate. But I think that in Rear Window, the prominent theme is relationship. Even more so than romance because romance implies good moments. But relationship also contains the nitty-gritty stuff: arguments, despair, and solitude.
In Rear Window, the apparently disjointed string of events is held together through this theme, which furnishes it with unity.
In the beginning of the movie, a newlywed couple moves into an apartment. All joy. Blinds drawn implies a honeymoon in progress. But as the story unfolds, their marriage deteriorates.
Miss Torso, a lovely ballet dancer, is often "doing a woman's hardest job: juggling wolves." With so many suitors, her options are plenty, though she often dismisses them all.
Mrs. Lonelyhearts is an old, single woman who seemingly failed to attract a man into wedlock during her prime years. Clearly disturbed, she hosts dinners for two even though no one joins her. Alone, she addresses an invisible man, product of her imagination, with whom she dines.
Clearly all these side characters and sub-plots were created to develop the theme. Furthermore, the heart of the plot – the murder – also draws a parallel to it, as one of the possible causes for the assassination was the bitter relationship in which the murderer and his victim lived in.
Besides providing unity and tying the story together, theme can also exist to send a message or teach a lesson to the audience. In the 2009 movie (500) Days of Summer, one of the lessons expressed is: if someone wants love, then they need to take action and chase it.
Like in Rear Window, one of the themes in (500) Days of Summer is relationship.
From the beginning, the movie builds this lesson until it's clearly stated in the ending: "Love doesn't just happen." This concept also illustrates the main character's arc. At the movie's beginning, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the type of guy who waits for love instead of making it happen. At the end, Tom finally takes action and is rewarded.
"If you have a message, call Western Union" is a famous sentence sometimes quoted by producers to express their disdain for themes or messages or lessons in the movies. Some producers simply don't like to talk about it because it's too brainy.
The quote is often misattributed to the famous producer Samuel Goldwyn (The Best Years of Our Lives, Guys and Dolls), but there's no consensus as to who said it first.
I wish I would know how most producers, directors, and writers approach the idea of theme. Is that a priority in their movies? Or do they just allow a theme to emerge as the story progresses?
Do you agree with the themes and lessons above? Or could (500) Days of Summer be about something else? What about Rear Window? As I mentioned, themes are subjective and open for interpretation. I would love to hear your thoughts below.

Met up with Carrie, David, and grandchildren at Costco yesterday. Can't believe it has been over six weeks since we were there last. That is some kind of record. We drove the girls home with us and they took Luke and a brand new 47" tv home with them. DH and I had already eaten lunch but we joined them at Cheesecake Factory where I had a Peach Bellini (YUM YUM) while they ate and a slice of chocolate cake, which I shared with Luke and the girls. It was fun talking to Cailey about my favorite book, Misty (see previous post). Their kindergarten teacher has read them the book and showed them the movie and brought pictures she had taken of the island. It was fun talking books with my 6-year-old granddaughter.
Today I spent my morning scrapping and then we went shopping again. Later tonight I went and walked around Gray's Lake (I love that place).

Florida Gets $25 Million for Irma-Damaged Highways
September 19, 2017 | State Spotlight
By Mark Holan, editorial director, ARTBA
The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing $25 million in emergency funding to help address infrastructure repairs in Florida. The money is in response to Hurricane Irma, which closed or restricted dozens of major Florida roadways due to flooding, downed power lines, debris and other problems as it ripped through the state Sept. 10.
"The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is already responding in full-force to quickly repair Florida's roads and transportation infrastructure damaged in the storm and this critical funding will enhance our efforts to ensure the safety of families as they travel through our state," Gov. Rick Scott said in an a release.
FDOT has allowed regular road and bridge projects to resume construction after being ordered shut down before the storm.
In August, the Federal Highway Administration provided a similar amount of emergency funding to Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which caused widespread flooding in the southeast portion of the state.

How this Legislature compares to other historic Maine political failures
August 8, 2018 Daily Brief, Governor LePage, LegislatureAngus King, Bruce Poliquin, Chellie Pingree, Eric Brakey, Jared Golden, Joseph Kennedy III, Little Bunny Foo Foo, Mike Thibodeau, Paul LePage, Sara Gideon, Susan Collins, Zak Ringelstein
By Christopher Cousins
Good morning from Augusta, where in the absence of the Legislature we're starting to wonder where this year's political disaster ranks in Maine history.
Short answer: This isn't the first disaster. Data from the Maine State Law and Legislative Reference Library show some history of legislative sessions dragging into August and significantly beyond — but not so much prior to the current 128th Legislature.
Let's review where we are today. In case you've already forgotten, the current Legislature was in session from Dec. 7, 2016, all the way through Aug. 2, 2017, and then returned for a two-day special session that spanned October to November 2017. This year, when the session was supposed to be shorter and reserved for budgetary or emergency issues, the session went past its mid-April adjournment date before leaders scuttled it, only to return for a special session that is still dragging on in absentia with lawmakers in a stalemate over public campaign financing and changes to the tax code.
While the terms of the impasse may be exceptional — the Clean Election fight was caused by a typo — the timeline so far is not. Historic data tracing back to Maine's first days as a state show that the Legislature has been working in August or later more than 40 times. In the modern era, which we'll define as since 1980, sessions have gone late into the summer 14 times. However, most of those were special sessions that lasted a single day, presumably to fill budget holes or deal with bonafide emergency issues. In a few cases where the sessions lasted for two days, it was only because lawmakers worked past midnight.
In 1991, when there was a state government shutdown and dire financial problems, the regular session ended at midnight on July 10 and a special session began at 12:10 a.m. on July 11. It lasted eight days and was followed by a second, five-day special session later in the year, along with two special sessions in 1992, one of which lasted just two hours. It was among the most turbulent times in Maine political history.
There were a number of special sessions through the 1990s, including one that lasted about 40 legislative days in 1997. There were also lengthy special sessions in 2004 — though one of those was a strategic maneuver related to a budget bill, with the Legislature adjourning in late January and reconvening in February. Since then, the Legislature managed to adjourn by July and stay adjourned through 2017, when the State House began to see crowds in August again.
There is no current indication of progress. Spokespeople for House Speaker Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, and Senate President Mike Thibodeau, R-Winterport, said negotiations have stalled and that the Legislature won't come back until there is a deal. The chambers last convened on July 9.
Meanwhile, Gov. Paul LePage is preparing a bill to improve Maine's child protective services system, which so far has not seen the light of day despite lengthy reports on the issue being completed weeks ago. He has said he will wait for the current special session to adjourn before calling lawmakers back for another special session designed to address child protective services.
There's no telling how many more legislative days there will be this year. With a deal in place, current business that is on the table could be dispatched in a few hours. LePage's bill will involve a committee deliberation process and public hearings — and undoubtedly some debate over the details.
It's hard to put this all in perspective with so many unknowns. You might have to wait for another Daily Brief, when we're still writing it in a decade or two, for that. Here's our soundtrack.
Maine's congressional delegation is out and about today
The two Republicans will attend a groundbreaking ceremony at Maine's federal veterans' hospital. U.S. Sen. Susan Collins and U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin of the 2nd District will be at the VA Maine Healthcare System in Togus on Wednesday morning at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new, 16-suite Fisher House on the campus. These houses have been built on many veterans' hospital campuses nationwide to house families of people seeking care.
The Democrat will appear with a Kennedy at a roundtable on substance abuse in Biddeford. U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree of Maine's 1st District and Joseph Kennedy III, D-Massachusetts, will hold a roundtable with people seeking treatment for substance abuse at a new Maine Health medication-assisted treatErment hub in Biddeford this morning.
Kennedy, the grand-nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, has a busy day planned in Maine. He'll also be at a rural aging summit in Portland in the afternoon before heading back south for a Kennebunkport fundraiser to aid Poliquin's main opponent, Assistant Maine House Majority Leader Jared Golden, D-Lewiston.
The independent will continue a business tour. U.S. Sen. Angus King will be in Lewiston for business tours today. He was in western Maine on Tuesday and will be in Orono and Exeter on Thursday, his office said. Tomorrow, his 2018 opponents, state Sen. Eric Brakey, R-Auburn, and Democrat Zak Ringelstein of Falmouth, will debate each other before a student group in Portland. They hammered King after he cited a scheduling conflict as a reason for not attending.
The governor wants constitutional officers running to succeed him to give up their jobs. In letters issued Tuesday to Attorney General Janet Mills, a Democrat, and State Treasurer Terry Hayes, an independent, LePage called on the constitutional officers, who are both running for governor, to step down or take a leave of absence during the race, saying "political ambitions should not come at the expense of the Maine people." The Republican governor didn't weigh in similarly during the 2012 U.S. Senate race, when three constitutional officers ran against each other in the Republican primary. Then-Secretary of State Charlie Summers kept his office after winning the primary and lost the general election to U.S. Sen. Angus King.
Candidates using public funds to finance their campaigns received a portion of the money owed to them — but not without a bit more drama. After Superior Court Justice William Stokes ruled last week that the LePage administration could not block the distribution of roughly $1 million owed as of June 30 to Maine Clean Election candidates for governor and the Legislature, LePage's finance department issued a Monday letter to the ethics commission — which administers the fund — that created confusion by saying because Stokes' order said the fund falls outside of normal budget processes, it would pull certain fiscal supports for the commission. By Tuesday's end, the money was on the way to candidates, but a bigger conflict caused by legislative stalemate over allocating public campaign funds in the current fiscal year remains unresolved.
A new Maine jobs report has some ominous news. The Maine Department of Labor projected statewide job growth and losses through 2026 and the conclusions aren't good. Maine is expected to gain a net of just 94 jobs in that period, or about nine per year. Health care and food service are expected to be growing industries, with secretarial and production jobs eroding away. If there is a silver lining to that depressing news, it's that there will be fewer workers to fill jobs anyway. The report estimates that the number of employees in their prime working years — ages 45-54 — will decrease by 22 percent.
LePage's legacy of appointing judges could be one of the least controversial things about him. Democrats and Republicans have supported the governor's judicial choices. LePage has nominated nearly 40 lawyers to the bench, all of whom have been confirmed by the Maine Senate. A driving force behind that process is attorney and former Republican lawmaker Joshua Tardy of Newport, who has led LePage's Judicial Selection Committee since 2011.
Children reinventing children's music
My 8-year-old asked me last night, "who is Little Bunny Foo Foo?" He heard his friends talking about it.
"It's a song that goes like this," I said. "Little Bunny Foo Foooo, hopping through the forrrrest, scooping up the field mice and BOPPING them on their heads."
I sang the whole song, including the part about the fairy turning the naughty bunny into a goon. It was dramatic. I was proud to pass along a singing tradition that has endured for generations. It's like I handed a piece of American culture to my son, gift-wrapped for him to someday pass along to his own children.
"Cool!" he said, starting to sing as he walked away.
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, stepping in your own poo…"
Oh, why do I bother? Here's his soundtrack, for whatever it's worth. — Christopher Cousins

Nursing Degree Programs > BSN > BSN Programs Massachusetts
Although registered nurses' training, education, and skill sets vary, they have one thing in common: they are all registered and licensed through their passage of the National Council Licensure Examination for RNs (NCLEX-RN). There are three training pathways – the diploma, associate's degree or bachelor's degree in nursing – to prepare for licensure as a registered nurse. In light of the expanded role of nurses and the complexities within healthcare, nursing organizations highly recommend the bachelor's degree. Even so, many students opt for the associate's degree as it provides the fastest and most affordable path to the NCLEX. The ADN degree is offered at community colleges, vocational schools, and universities and may be completed in as little as two years. Students acquire the skills to provide direct patient care and other duties within the scope of nursing. The training also sets the groundwork for advanced study, such as the baccalaureate or master's in nursing.
The traditional BSN takes approximately four years to complete. The curriculum, more focused than the ADN, prepares students to work in multiple medical environments. Graduates have additional preparation to assume clinical roles, management positions, leadership, research, and administration. Moreover, they can take advantage of numerous opportunities to advance their careers by enrolling in a master's program to assume a role in health care administration or specialty roles, such as a nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, clinical nurse leader, or nurse anesthetist. Employer preference for BSN nurses presents gives graduates a competitive advantage especially for positions in the military or public health.
The ongoing debate over the education of nurses has been settled by studies that provide conclusive evidence that better patient outcomes can be had by improving the education of the workforce. This understanding forms the basis of the IOM's recommendation to have at least 80% of registered nurses hold a BSN or higher by 2020. The report examines the performance of the workforce with respect to the changing demands in healthcare. The BSN program provides higher levels of preparation to meet industry expectations for nurses in the areas of disease management, community health, public health and policy, and prevention and health promotion. This built-in preparation will set the BSN as the educational standard for nurses.
If you're still weighing the benefits of the BSN vs the ADN degree, consider that the latter is a great way to get started with nursing and earn an income quickly. It also provides an opportunity to test the waters before committing four or more years of study. Keep in mind that your salary options may be limited and finding a job as a new ADN graduate is not always smooth sailing. Choose the BSN option if you're concerned about future requirements for nurses, plan to pursue graduate study, and want to practice with a broader view of the profession. Healthcare will continue to change to meet the diverse needs of communities, institutions, and patients. The BSN prepares nurses to meet these changes.
Following is a list of the various types of BSN programs available in Massachusetts.
LPN to BSN: The LPN-to-BSN track helps students transition from licensed practical nursing to the role of a baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse. The prospective student must have graduated from a program accredited by the National League for Nursing and have some experience as a licensed nurse. To graduate from the program, students will need to earn at least 120 credits including credits transferred in. The curriculum will emphasize respect for cultural diversity, accountability in nursing, and a commitment to excellence. Graduates have the skills to meet patients' needs in a multitude of health care settings.
RN to BSN: RN-to-BSN programs are almost always completely online – with the exception of the clinical requirements. The format is flexible and convenient for busy RNs to complete the BSN for career advancement. With the transfer of credits, students are able to complete the requirements in 3 to 5 semesters of full-time attendance. As the BSN takes its place as the industry standard for practice, enrollment in the RN-to-BSN program will rise to increase the competitiveness of admission. The applicant must have a valid and unencumbered registered nurse license and an associate's degree in nursing from an accredited program.
Traditional BSN: The traditional bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree includes academic and experiential instruction to prepare students for professional nursing practice. The robust curriculum also sets the foundation for future study to earn an advanced nursing degree. Students will learn the principles of science and nursing and liberal arts and will develop a commitment to excellence in nursing. Hands-on learning in a modern nursing lab will prepare students for the field where they'll have opportunities to provide real care to patients under the direction of a registered nurse. Graduates will be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam to become a registered.
Fast-track BSN: Unlike the RN-to-BSN program, the accelerated BSN is usually campus-based and requires a full-time commitment. The program is specially designed for students who hold a bachelor's degree in another discipline. The program may be completed in 17 to 24 months and may require completion of prerequisite courses. Students will complete approximately 60 credits of nursing and science courses to graduate with a major in nursing. Graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN for licensure as a registered nurse.
Traditional BSN Programs
The traditional BSN prepares nurses for medical practice. It leads to a baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing as well as licensure after graduates sit and pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Experienced faculty provides academic and experiential instruction to aid students' growth and advanced in the fast-changing health care sector. The curriculum includes physical, biological, and behavioral sciences to set the foundation for future study, instruction in liberal arts to improve students' perspective of the work environment, and extensive clinical activities in key areas, such as medical-surgical nursing, maternity, geriatrics, pediatrics, mental health, and community health. The program also prepares students for success on the NLCEX-RN for initial licensure as a registered nurse. Upon licensure, graduates are eligible to practice in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities.
Admission to the program requires:
A completed application and fee.
Complete the prerequisite courses. Examples include high school chemistry, biology and anatomy and physiology,
An official high school transcript or GED.
Official transcripts of any post-secondary courses. Transfer courses must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better.
Current CPR Certification.
Immunization and TB clearance.
A personal essay.
Academic letters of recommendation.
Criminal convictions may pose a barrier to participation in the clinical experience and licensure as a registered nurse in Massachusetts. Students must make transport arrangements to get to and from the clinical sites.
Second Degree BSN
The second-degree or accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing is designed for persons who already have a bachelor's degree in a non-nursing discipline. They are able to complete the program in 17 to 24 months based on full-time attendance. Following successful of the program, graduates will become eligible to sit the NCLEX-RN with approval from the Massachusetts Board of Nursing.
The curriculum will combine academic coursework with hands-on experiences, including lab experiences and supervised clinical experiences to prepare students for success in the fast-paced healthcare environment. Students may need to complete prerequisite courses in growth and development, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, nutrition, basic statistics, and nutrition and earn a 3.0 or above overall GPA.
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree in from an accredited college in a non-nursing program.
Enrollment requires:
A complete application and fee.
Attendance of the school's information session.
Official transcripts of all college courses, including prerequisite courses.
An overall minimum GPA of 3.0 or above.
How Much Do BSN Programs Cost?
The total cost of completing a BSN program will depend on your point of entry. For the traditional BSN, you'll need to complete 120+ credits, which will cost more than completing the RN-BSN or accelerated BSN. The tuition at public universities can be as much as 45 percent lower than private schools. If you're attending full-time, a flat rate for tuition will be more affordable than paying per credit. The average cost per credit at public universities is $225. Nursing students must factor in the cost of meeting the clinical agency requirements, uniform, and nursing equipment and supplies.

Well known Dutch architect and interior designer, Gerrit Rietveld, designed the first piece of crate furniture in 1934. Initially these pieces were produced and assembled by himself, but later sold them as DIY packages as well. Rietveld made a point of producing affordable and comfortable furniture, and he achieved this by finding the right proportions and seat angle. During the years, Metz & Co. and Italian manufacturer Cassina had produced several series of the crate chairs. The crate furniture series consists of indoor and outdoor models, originally unvarnished.
Nowadays, a smaller version of the crate chair is produced by Rietveld Originals in The Netherlands, suitable for children up to 6 years of age. It is packaged in a gift box and is available in three colors, red, black and natural beech wood. The chair needs to be assembled by the user.
The chair is made of solid beech wood. Screws and assembly tool are included in the package.

I have uploaded thousands of products with some having over 50 customizable finishes which has taken a tremendous amount of work.
Other details about profit: We also sell on Houzz and those sales are not reflected here. There was a death in the family and sales have decreased in the last few years as my attention was lacking to promoting the store. However, all of the hard work is done and with a little TLC, profits will return as this store has a great reputation with a niche category.
SEO and start a blog plus adwords.
I have a background in sales and marketing and was looking for a way to stay home with my young children and work part time. This business allowed me to do that and more. I have a passion for design and furniture and loved working with people to help them find a special piece of furniture.

What Do Teenage Boys Look for in a Girlfriend?
By Erica Loop
••• Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Your friends say that you're cute, your grades show that you're smart and your mom says that your personality is super-sweet. So what gives when it comes to getting a guy to notice you? Understanding what teenage boys look for in a girlfriend can help you to play up your finer points and go from crush to couple.
Give and Take
Even though a teenage boy is perfectly capable of -- and most are willing to -- listening to you talk about yourself, he also wants some give and take when it comes to supporting each other. It's unlikely that a teen guy has the patience to sit and listen to you gab on and on about your favorite TV drama or a boy band. If you want to impress, or at least interest, a boy, tone down your talking and spend some time listening too. Let your guy get a word in, making your conversation a two-way event.
Fun-Filled Days
During the teen years, dating is often more about having fun than it is about getting serious, asserts TeensHealth, a website from the nonprofit Nemours Center for Children's Health Media. While this doesn't mean that you have to be a party girl to attract your guy, he may want to make sure that the two of you have the same interests and enjoy the same activities. If group dates are the norm or a guy spends the majority of time with his best buds, he may look for a girl who fits in with the gang.
Attraction Action
Teen relationships are more likely than romances between older, more mature couples to focus on appearance and attraction, reports TeensHealth. Although most relationships -- even those among old folks like your parents -- require some level of physical chemistry, teen boys may put more of an emphasis on this aspect. A teen boy may look for a girlfriend who fits his appearance ideal or who he feels that instant spark of electricity with. This doesn't mean that you have to look like Miss America to impress a guy. Instead, you'll need to fit his specific concept of beauty.
He Loves You Just the Way You Are
While some teenage boys may want girls to have specific appearance attributes -- such as a skinny, yet perfectly curvy body -- changing yourself for a guy is never necessary. If you think that you're not getting dates because you don't have supermodel looks or because you're not a cheerleader, you're looking at the wrong type of guy. A real relationship includes respecting each other for who you each are. Although understanding what boys are looking for in a girlfriend can help you to put your best foot forward, it doesn't mean that you should change yourself, your looks or your beliefs.

The Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science (JITeCS) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published by School of Pc Science, Universitas Brawijaya (UB), Indonesia. This versatile and straightforward to use on-line useful resource has available all the backgrounds, photos, and text potentialities your college students might want to inform their curricular story, it doesn't matter what grade level or matter. The only drawback is that's not a free useful resource, although educators and faculties can obtain accounts at a discounted fee.

We met throughout her tutorial help interval to see if there have been assistive technology solutions to support her learning. She is a vibrant pupil with studying disabilities. The primary phrases out of her mouth were, "I don't learn." Hmmm. I immediately thought, "Effectively let me come to your rescue and present you textual content to speech!" After I confirmed her how she could entry text after which pay attention using a service such as Bookshare, she instructed me it would not work for her. She defined she found the voices too annoying which might distract her and cause her to lose focus. Subsequently, learning wouldn't occur.
Clearly, the need to ship and observe eLearning shouldn't be going away. Frankly, I'm squarely in Craig's camp. The LMS will not be going wherever. Study to get more out of it. And hopefully the instruments will develop to include better worth with out frustrating customers. These suggestions incorporate Common Design for Studying principles. What's put in place for students with disabilities, advantages all students. College students will be inspired to buy the organizer that works greatest for them, if it is one thing they need. Some students desire a day by day, weekly or monthly view. One dimension doesn't fit all and project notebooks don't work for everyone.
Along with facilities, I also conduct complete class mini lessons when acceptable, in addition to special classes like Thriller Skype, Breakout EDU, and different opportunities to connect reminiscent of Dot Day, Read Throughout America, World Read Aloud Week, Poem in my Pocket, and extra.
