Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition
HEALTH AND EDUCATION ACT OF 1994
For decades, the Food and Drug Administration regulated dietary supplements as foods, in most circumstances, to ensure that they were safe and wholesome, and that their labeling was truthful and not misleading. An important facet of ensuring safety was FDA's evaluation of the safety of all new ingredients, including those used in dietary supplements, under the 1958 Food Additive Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). However, with passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), Congress amended the FD&C Act to include several provisions that apply only to dietary supplements and dietary ingredients of dietary supplements. As a result of these provisions, dietary ingredients used in dietary supplements are no longer subject to the premarket safety evaluations required of other new food ingredients or for new uses of old food ingredients. They must, however, meet the requirements of other safety provisions. Signed by President Clinton on October 25, 1994, the DSHEA acknowledges that millions of consumers believe dietary supplements may help to augment daily diets and provide health benefits. Congress's intent in enacting the DSHEA was to meet the concerns of consumers and manufacturers to help ensure that safe and appropriately labeled products remain available to those who want to use them. In the findings associated with the DSHEA, Congress stated that there may be a positive relationship between sound dietary practice and good health, and that, although further scientific research is needed, there may be a connection between dietary supplement use, reduced health-care expenses, and disease prevention. The provisions of DSHEA define dietary supplements and dietary ingredients; establish a new framework for assuring safety; outline guidelines for literature displayed where supplements are sold; provide for use of claims and nutritional support statements; require ingredient and nutrition labeling; and grant FDA the authority to establish good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations. The law also requires formation of an executive level Commission on Dietary Supplement Labels and an Office of Dietary Supplements within the National Institutes of Health. These specific provisions of the DSHEA are synopsized below.
DEFINITION OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
FDA traditionally considered dietary supplements to be composed only of essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins. The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 added "herbs, or similar nutritional substances," to the term "dietary supplement." Through the DSHEA, Congress expanded the meaning of the term "dietary supplements" beyond essential nutrients to include such substances as ginseng, garlic, fish oils, psyllium, enzymes, glandulars, and mixtures of these. The DSHEA established a formal definition of "dietary supplement" using several criteria. A dietary supplement:
is a product (other than tobacco) that is intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total daily intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients.
is intended for ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form.
is not represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet.
is labeled as a "dietary supplement."
includes products such as an approved new drug, certified antibiotic, or licensed biologic that was marketed as a dietary supplement or food before approval, certification, or license (unless the Secretary of Health and Human Services waives this provision).
The DSHEA amends the adulteration provisions of the FD&C Act. Under DSHEA a dietary supplement is adulterated if it or one of its ingredients presents "a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury" when used as directed on the label, or under normal conditions of use (if there are no directions). A dietary supplement that contains a new dietary ingredient (i.e., an ingredient not marketed for dietary supplement use in the U.S. prior to October 15, 1994) may be adulterated when there is inadequate information to provide reasonable assurance that the ingredient will not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. The Secretary of HHS may also declare that a dietary supplement or dietary ingredient poses an imminent hazard to public health or safety. However, like any other foods, it is a manufacturer's responsibility to ensure that its products are safe and properly labeled prior to marketing.
The DSHEA provides that retail outlets may make available "third-party" material s to help inform consumers about any health-related benefits of dietary supplements. These materials include articles, book chapters, scientific abstracts, or other third-party publications. These provisions stipulate that the information must not be false or misleading; cannot promote a specific supplement brand; must be displayed with other similar materials to present a balanced view; must be displayed separate from supplements; and may not have other information attached (product promotional literature, for example).
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT STATEMENTS
The DSHEA provides for the use of various types of statements on the label of dietary supplements, although claims may not be made about the use of a dietary supplement to diagnose, prevent, mitigate, treat, or cure a specific disease (unless approved under the new drug provisions of the FD&C Act). For example, a product may not carry the claim "cures cancer" or "treats arthritis." Appropriate health claims authorized by FDA--such as the claim linking folic acid and reduce risk of neural tube birth defects and the claim that calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis--may be made in supplement labeling if the product qualifies to bear the claim. Under DSHEA, firms can make statements about classical nutrient deficiency diseases--as long as these statements disclose the prevalence of the disease in the United States. In addition, manufacturers may describe the supplement's effects on "structure or function" of the body or the "well-being" achieved by consuming the dietary ingredient. To use these claims, manufacturers must have substantiation that the statements are truthful and not misleading and the product label must bear the statement "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." Unlike health claims, nutritional support statements need not be approved by FDA before manufacturers market products bearing the statements, however, the agency must be notified no later than 30 days after a product that bears the claim is first marketed.
INGREDIENT AND NUTRITION INFORMATION LABELING
Like other foods, dietary supplement products must bear ingredient labeling. This information must include the name and quantity of each dietary ingredient or, for proprietary blends, the total quantity of all dietary ingredients (excluding inert ingredients) in the blend. The label must also identify the product as a "dietary supplement" (e.g., "Vitamin C Dietary Supplement"). Labeling of products containing herbal and botanical ingredients must state the part of the plant from which the ingredient is derived. If a supplement is covered by specifications in an official compendium and is represented as conforming, it is misbranded if it does not conform to those specifications. Official compendia include the U.S. Pharmacopeia, the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States, or the National Formulary. If not covered by a compendium, a dietary supplement must be the product identified on the label and have the strength it is represented as having. Labels also must provide nutrition labeling. This labeling must first list dietary ingredients present in "significant amounts" for which FDA has established daily consumption recommendations, followed by dietary ingredients with no daily intake recommendations. Dietary ingredients that are not present in significant amounts need not be listed. The nutrition labeling must include the quantity per serving for each dietary ingredient (or proprietary blend) and may include the source of a dietary ingredient (for example, "calcium from calcium gluconate"). If an ingredient is listed in the nutrition labeling, it need not appear in the statement of ingredients. Nutrition information must precede ingredient statements on the product label.
NEW DIETARY INGREDIENTS
Supplements may contain new dietary ingredients--those not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994--only if those ingredients have been present in the food supply as an article used for food in a form in which the food has not been chemically altered or there is a history of use, or some other evidence of safety exists that establishes that there is a reasonable expectation of safety when the product is used according to recommended conditions of use. Supplement manufacturers must notify FDA at least 75 days before marketing products containing new dietary ingredients, providing the agency with the information on which the conclusion that a dietary supplement containing the new dietary ingredient "will reasonably be expected to be safe" was based. Any interested party, including a manufacturer of a dietary supplement, may petition FDA to issue an order prescribing the conditions of use under which a new dietary ingredient will reasonably be expected to be safe.
GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES (GMPs)
DSHEA grants FDA the authority to establish GMP regulations governing the preparation, packing, and holding of dietary supplements under conditions that ensure their safety. These regulations are to be modeled after current good manufacturing practice regulations in effect for the rest of the food industry. FDA intends to work with the supplement industry and other interested persons to develop GMPs and, in doing so, will seek public comment as to their scope.
COMMISSION ON DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
The DSHEA requires the formation of a Commission to conduct a study and make recommendations on the regulation of label claims and statements for dietary supplements and procedures for the evaluation of the claims. The members of the Commission will evaluate how best to provide truthful, scientifically valid, and not misleading information to consumers so that they can make informed and appropriate health care choices. The Commission will be composed of seven members, appointed by the President, with experience in dietary supplements and in the manufacture, regulation, distribution, and use of supplements. Three members must be qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate supplements' health benefits, and one of these must be trained in pharmacognosy, medical botany, traditional herbal medicine, or other related sciences. All Commission members and staff should be unbiased about supplement use. On October 2, 1995, the White House announced the names of the seven individuals the President intends to appoint to the Commission. The members include nutritionists, industry representatives, a pharmacognosist, and attorneys. The Commission will submit a final report including recommendations and legislation related to label claims for dietary supplements to the President and Congress within two years of convening.
OFFICE OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
The HHS Secretary will establish an office within the National Institutes of Health to explore the potential role of supplements to improve health care in the U.S. The office will also promote scientific study of supplements and their value in preventing chronic diseases; collect and compile scientific research, including data from foreign sources and the NIH Office of Alternative Medicine; serve as a scientific adviser to HHS and FDA; and compile a database of scientific research on supplements and individual nutrients.
DSHEA's provisions for use of nutritional support statements and third-party literature became effective when the law was signed. The effective date for other labeling provisions and any FDA implementing regulations is after December 31, 1996, although manufacturers may label their products consistent with provisions of DSHEA until that date.
This document was issued on December 1, 1995.

After a long week of work, it's nice to decompress on the river with your favorite fly rod, the Caddis Men's Northern Guide Stockingfoot Waders, and your favorite four-legged fishing partner. These waders are made from a waterproof and breathable material to keep cold river out and let sweat-causing body heat escape. And when you need to just pull up a seat on a nearby boulder to enjoy the sound of the river rushing by, the reinforced seat will prevent these waders from wearing out too quickly from all that sitting around you end up doing.


The Paddlesport Start Award is designed to provide a framework for a paddler's first session. It is very much an encouragement award and can be used by coaches who offer taster sessions, or as the first session of a series. More information on the Paddlesport Start Award can be found here.
The Star Award scheme best suits paddlers aged 16 and over.
The 1 star and 2 star awards are generic, encouraging paddlers to experience the various disciplines of Paddlesport available, with paddlers 'specialising' in particular disciplines from the 3 Star Award onwards.
The emphasis of the 1, 2 and 3 star awards is developing personal skills and gaining independence; while the 4 star and 5 star awards are now leadership awards and enable paddlers to lead groups in appropriate conditions.
The BCU 1 Star is a flat water award that demonstrates an individual has basic boat control and foundation skills. Assessment can be taken in any kind of paddlesport craft (e.g. sit-on-top, slalom C2, polo boat, sea kayak, racing canoe etc.). More information on the BCU 1 Star Award can be found here.
The BCU 2 Star is an improvement award that helps paddlers develop fundamental paddlesport skills on flat water. Assessment is now performed in a kayak and in a canoe.
The emphasis is on gaining a breadth of experience, creating the desired movement of the boat and developing an understanding into how the paddle, boat and water interact. More information on the BCU 2 Star Award can be found here.
More information on the BCU 3 Star Awards can be found here.

Have you ever caught sight of yourself in a mirror or shop window and thought, "Oh no, I'm slumping again", and forced yourself back to what you think is an upright posture?
Improving your posture is not a matter of forcing yourself to stand or sit up straight. It is all about changing how you use your muscles so that you use the right muscles for the right job, no more no less, resulting in ease of movement and natural poise.
Many of us find ourselves sitting for long periods at work or at home, and then notice pain or discomfort in our back, shoulders or neck, or that headaches set in. Learning how to be aware of how you are sitting, standing or moving enables you to prevent these pains from happening. You learn to be in control of how you do things rather than being unaware and a slave to habit.
The resulting better posture is an added bonus!
Learning the Alexander Technique helps you feel better and more at ease in your mind and body.


here's our logic in this.
spend $38 dollars on this tee. wear black pants.
go to an establishment that offers overpriced valet parking.
pick a car you like that smells good. like squash air freshener.
give them a ticket, and take the car.
you just spent $38 dollars for a used car.

Reflection on Gender-Based Violence: Spencer Cantrell
episcoglobal
Spencer Cantrell, Episcopal Church provincial delegate for UNCSW 2013, in Hong Kong wearing a Filipino Rosie the Riveter shirt which says "We can do it!" in Tagalog.
Recently the Episcopal Church joined the International Anglican Women's Network in commemorating the 16 Days Campaign against Gender-Based Violence. This campaign was started in 1991 by the Women's Global Leadership Institute and is observed annually by Anglicans worldwide. The International Anglican Women's Network has composed a page of resources on gender-based violence available here. The Episcopal Church's Spencer Cantrell, provincial delegate for the Anglican Communion at UNCSW 2013, shares her first-hand experience with gender-based violence in this post.
As an Episcopalian, I feel like my calling is in helping women who are survivors of violence. I have helped women both in the U.S. and abroad who survived violence at the hands of an employer or a loved one, and unfortunately, the system in place to help was not always sufficient.
I was fortunate to be able to serve in the Young Adult Service Corps (YASC) for one year as an Episcopal Missionary in Hong Kong, where I worked for the Mission For Migrant Workers. This was an amazing experience, because I was able to help migrant women, mostly from the Philippines and Indonesia, who came to Hong Kong to be domestic workers. These women were often vulnerable to exploitation and deplorable conditions in their new homes: 18 hour work days, separation from family for years at a time, a low minimum wage, and rest days that weren't enforced. In my office, I was greeted daily by women with a plethora of problems: women fired for no reason after 1 day or 5 years, women who pawned family lands to pay to work in Hong Kong, and women who had been kicked, punched, bruised, burned, assaulted, or raped.
These women were courageous, and many went through a rigorous legal system to get what was owed to them, standing up for themselves, even at the expense of finding new work or being able to fully support their families. But that should not be the case. Women should not be punished for being survivors of violence.
Back in the United States, I am in law school and working with survivors of domestic violence. These are women who have been abused by husbands, boyfriends, or partners. Unfortunately, these women also have to overcome extreme obstacles in leaving their abusers. Regaining emotional and financial independence is almost impossible without a network of support.
That's why I'm glad we have the Campaign Against Gender-Based Violence. It's important to shine a spotlight on the gendered violence women are facing. While men also face violence at home and in the workplace, this violence disproportionately affects women. One in three women around the world will face intimate partner violence in her lifetime. God calls us in Micah 6:8 to "do justice and to love kindness." Eradicating violence against women is an integral part of this.
A key component of my work in Hong Kong and Washington D.C. in stopping violence is education. So I urge you to read about the campaign here and the UNCSW here.
As always, if you know someone who might be experiencing violence, share the domestic violence hotline number with them: 1−800−799−SAFE(7233).
I'm also thrilled to have the opportunity to represent the Episcopal Church at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) in March 2013, where the theme is also "Elimination and Prevention of all forms of violence against Women and Girls." This will be an incredible opportunity to learn about the work of women from all over the world to stop gendered violence. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions about my work at the UNCSW or as a YASCer!

Built with maximum comfort and optimal functionality, the Surfica Surfboard Leash uses high-quality materials for a plush, secure attachment to your board. European urethane comprises the cord for a tough and durable design that has a scientifically-gauged stretch range for enhanced mobility, while the neoprene, cushioned cuff provides padded comfort when your board gets away from you and creates tension. Then, the cuff's insanely strong hook-and-loop material keeps the leash fastened to your ankle at all times, and even has a quick-release safety hook if you get pummeled in a tight spot.
I like taking new leases on surf trips. I view them as one time use items, deff don't want my board landing on some rocks cause my leash broke.

New basketball court builds community in Neptune
Home > News > What's new > New basketball court builds community in Neptune
Above: Residents face off during a basketball tournament to celebrate the official opening of the new basketball court in Neptune.
�Chris Bosh!�
�Michael Jordan!�
�No, definitely Stephen Curry!�
Neptune residents Jessy, Gloria and Jennifer shouted out some of their favourite basketball players during a community basketball tournament to celebrate the official opening of the new Neptune Basketball Court.
Residents of all ages were joined by Toronto Community Housing staff and Toronto Police Service officers from 33 Division to enjoy a free barbecue, activities and a basketball tournament. The event also included giveaways of more than 50 children�s books donated by�Frontier College.�
�Playing basketball has always been an important part of this community. So it was natural that we organized a basketball and barbecue event to get people out,� explained Millicent, a resident and event organizer.
Improving community safety
�Community barbecues are a great way to engage residents about safety,� explained Mike Bezoff, Community Safety Adviser at Toronto Community Housing. �Events like these get people out to learn about the safety resources in their community and build trust with community safety officers�so when something goes wrong, residents feel comfortable coming to us.�
Toronto Community Housing�s Community Safety Unit helped organize about 25 barbecues, three movie nights, two basketball tournaments and one beach day across the city this summer.
�These events bring people together. By providing an opportunity for neighbours to get to know each other, they build a stronger community and improve safety. They also provide an opportunity for people to learn where to direct their concerns�breaking down walls and building bridges between residents and staff,� said Kisa, a resident who helped organize the event.�
Working with partners to create opportunities for residents
About 38 per cent of people who live in Toronto Community Housing are 24 years old and younger, and in the Neptune community 65 per cent are youth. Because of this, Toronto Community Housing works with partners to create opportunities and events that help youth thrive in their communities.
Above: Toronto Community Housing staff, Neptune residents, a Toronto Police officer from 33 Division and City Councillor Josh Colle pose for a photo during the basketball tournament.�
In 2013, the local Councillor Josh Colle saw that the basketball court was in disrepair and identified a new basketball court as a community priority for Neptune. By working together with residents and Toronto Community Housing staff, Councillor Colle secured a donation for $10,000 from Shoeless Joe�s, a local business on Dufferin Street, to repair and expand the basketball court.
�As part of the project Toronto Community Housing made additional improvements to the community space, including improvements to the run-off water flow around the community and repairs to the underground parking garage, located beneath the court,� said Associate Construction Manager Juliet Mugabi.
Completed in November 2014, the basketball court is now three metres longer, providing more space for youth to play.�
When asked what the best part of having a new court is, residents Caleb, 14, and Johnathan, 12, said, �The best part is we all get to play and have fun.�
Above: Neptune residents chase the ball on their new basketball court during the third quarter of the basketball tournament.
�We have a real court now, the nets are better, the court bounces�having this basketball court here makes me a better basketball player�that�s the best part!� said Kajoube, a young resident from Neptune.
�The Lawrence Heights and Neptune areas are not well served by indoor basketball courts, so youth use this court all year, even in the winter. Local police have said the court also discourages anti-social behaviour, which makes the court a benefit to the whole community,� said Rayon Reid-Brown, Manager of Revitalization and Renewal Communities for Lawrence Heights.
A number of Toronto Community Housing communities across the city hosted community barbecues just before students headed back to school to engage residents about community safety initiatives and upcoming revitalization activities.
Demolition for the�Lawrence Heights Revitalization�will begin this fall, and construction will start in spring 2016. Although 135 to 155 Neptune Drive will not undergo a physical transformation as part of the Lawrence Heights Revitalization, residents are included in many of the social events and will benefit from all the economic opportunities provided through this revitalization project.

Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 clients that are configured for SSO authentication on a wireless network may not successfully authenticate to the network. This problem occurs most frequently when a user tries to log on by using invalid credentials and then later tries to log on by using valid credentials. This problem occurs only for noncached credentials or during a first-time user logon.
This problem occurs because the Netlogon and DNS client services rely on notifications to keep network data current. Because these notifications are not delivered in real-time, these services could receive them long after the network is connected.

Ciran est une commune française du département d'Indre-et-Loire, en région Centre-Val de Loire.

Géographie

Hydrographie

Le réseau hydrographique communal, d'une longueur totale de , comprend un cours d'eau notable, l'Esves (), qui coule d'est en ouest, et divers petits cours d'eau dont l'Estrigueil ().

L'Esves, d'une longueur totale de , prend sa source à  d'altitude à Betz-le-Château. et se jette dans la Creuse à Descartes, à , après avoir traversé .
Sur le plan piscicole, l'Esves est classée en deuxième catégorie piscicole. Le groupe biologique dominant est constitué essentiellement de poissons blancs (cyprinidés) et de carnassiers (brochet, sandre et perche).

Trois zones humides ont été répertoriées sur la commune par la direction départementale des territoires (DDT) et le conseil départemental d'Indre-et-Loire : « la vallée de l'Esves d'Esves-le-Moutier au Moulin Pottier et l'étang des Babinières », « la vallée de l'Estrigueil au Grand Aulnay » et « l'étang Gargeau ».

Urbanisme

Typologie
Ciran est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Loches, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (86,3 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (86,3 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (61,3 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (18,4 %), forêts (13,8 %), prairies (6,6 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Ciran est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse) et séisme (sismicité faible). Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 99,1 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (90,2 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Sur les  dénombrés sur la commune en 2019, 234 sont en en aléa moyen ou fort, soit 100 %, à comparer aux 91 % au niveau départemental et 54 % au niveau national. Une cartographie de l'exposition du territoire national au retrait gonflement des sols argileux est disponible sur le site du BRGM.

Concernant les mouvements de terrains, la commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par la sécheresse en 1989, 1990, 1992, 2018 et 2019 et par des mouvements de terrain en 1999.

Getting beautifully painted walls is not as simple as just slapping the new paint on the wall. You've got to take a few steps to get your walls in the best condition for painting. You want a clean, smooth surface for the paint to adhere.
Spackle – for patching small holes. My go-to spackle is DryDex Spackling Interior/Exterior , because it goes on pink and then, when it's dry, turns white. You don't have to guess when it's dry (or paint over it and find out the hard way!).
P.S. "Spackle" is the actual material used for filling holes; "spackling" is the verb meaning "to apply spackle." That said, everyone, including me, interchanges these terms all the time. But I looked it up, because that's how I roll.
Putty knife – I use one like this Putty Knife , with a metal, not plastic, blade. I prefer the way the metal smooths the spackle over the holes.
Joint compound and drywall repair kit: If you have a bigger hole in your drywall than spackle can tackle (ha!), then you'll need a drywall repair kit like this 3M Patch Plus Primer Kit . Buying a kit like that is great if you just have a small patch job, because you don't have to buy the large tub of drywall compound and large roll of tape just for a little patch. The kit contains everything you'll need for a smallish patch job (a hole the size of a fist or smaller).
Sandpaper or sanding block: I like 180-grit or higher sandpaper to sand patches on the wall before painting. That said, I prefer using a sanding block, rather than sandpaper, like this one – 3M Small Area Sanding Sponge – for walls because it's easier to hold and it works well. I use a medium grit sanding block for this.
Rags and warm water: for cleaning the walls after sanding.
Tack cloth: A tack cloth is a piece of gauzy fabric with an adhesive coating on it. It's good for wiping down walls and surfaces after you sand them, to get all the fine particles up. I don't like to get the adhesive coating on my hands when I use a tack cloth, so I usually wear rubber gloves when using them. Alternatively, you could just use a damp rag to pick up the sanding dust.
Painters' tape: I like this kind: ScotchBlue Painter's Tape, Advanced Multi-Surface.
Drop cloths or sheets: to protect floors and counters.
A mask: to protect yourself from breathing in dust while sanding, like this 3M Particulate Respirator .
A shop vac (wet-dry vac) is also helpful, but not necessary. I have this one – Ridgid WD1636 16-gal. 5-Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum – and I love it.
First, take everything off the walls.
If you have shelves on the wall, I would at least remove the shelves, if not the brackets, too. If you are keeping the brackets in the same place after painting – in my kitchen painting project, I wasn't – then you could leave them on the walls and tape around them to make sure paint doesn't get all over them.
Also, remove everything you can from the area where you're painting. If you can't move something or it's too big to move, just cover it with a drop cloth. For example, in the kitchen, I removed everything on the counters. Then I covered the counters and sink with a drop cloth to protect them. I secured the drop cloth to the counter with painters' tape.
After clearing the room, wipe down the walls to remove any leftover stray pieces of drywall or paint. You can just use a damp rag for this (damp is the key word; not soaking wet).
Once everything's out of the room or covered up and the walls are clean, it's time to patch the walls.
Let's start with small holes, like nail holes or holes left by screws. For these holes, use the spackle and putty knife to patch them.
Before applying the spackle, make sure that the hole and wall around it is flat. Scrape off any bits of drywall around the hole (if you haven't already – see previous step, above).
To apply the spackle, take your putty knife and scoop out a little from the jar. Next, smooth it onto the wall, holding the putty knife at about a 45-degree angle to the wall and not flat against the wall. You want to get the spackle into the hole, not smeared all over the wall.
Take several passes of the putty knife over the hole to ensure you've got spackle in and over the hole.
When you apply spackle over a hole, sometimes it looks like it's bubbling up a bit, creating a rounded mound over the hole. To prevent this, take your finger and press gently on the spackle in the hole. This will push it back down in the hole and create a flatter surface (you'll sand it later anyway, so it need not be perfect).
Once the spackle is dry, check to make sure your holes are covered well and can be sanded to a flat surface. If not, go back over them with a little more spackle on the putty knife.
For larger holes (bigger than a screw hole or nail hole), you'll need to use the drywall patch kit. Now a word of warning: If you have a large hole – larger than a fist, let's say – you'll want to actually cut a piece of drywall to insert into that hole to patch it. You may even need to add a piece of wood behind the drywall to ensure that the patch stays put.
I patched the drywall in the kitchen where an electrical outlet had previously been ripped out of the wall, leaving a big hole. I had to cut a piece of drywall to fit and then patch it.
I'm not going to get into major drywall patching or repair here, but click HERE for a great article on it from This Old House.
If you are using the drywall patch kit, you'll take the tape in the kit and place it over the hole, ensuring that it sticks to either side of the intact drywall. Then smooth the joint compound in the kit over it. Create as smooth a surface as possible while still covering the tape.
Once the spackle/patches are dry, it's time to sand.
Once the spackle spots or drywall patch is dry, it's time to sand the spots flat. Grab the sanding block or sandpaper. Also, put on that mask and, if you are using one, the shop vac.
Sand over the patches on the wall by rubbing the sandpaper or sanding block over the patch in a back-and-forth or circular motion. You want to create a smooth surface so that, once you apply paint, you'll never know there was a hole there. Be patient with sanding – it takes a while. I've been known to get impatient with it and stop before the surface was flat and then it showed once I painted and I had to do it again. Don't do that.
When sanding, if you have a shop vac, turn the vacuum on and hold the nozzle of the vacuum under where you are sanding. The vacuum will catch most but not all of the dust, and it helps minimize the mess.
If you are using sandpaper, once the grit wears down on the piece you are using, get a new piece. The sandpaper won't work if there isn't a rough surface with which to sand.
You know you're finished with sanding if the surface you patched is smooth. Obviously, you can tell this by running your hand over the patched area and surrounding wall. You can also tell by looking at the wall from the side. If you see a raised area where you patched, keep sanding.
My best tip for sanding is to put on some good music and try to dance while you sand. It makes a tedious job more tolerable. Sand to the music, people!
OK, once you've sanded everything, it's time to clean up that dust.
Start at the top of the room and work your way down. That way, as the dust falls, you are cleaning up after it.
Work your way down the walls to the counter and floor and get up all the dust. You don't want those particles in your paint later! If you need to take your drop cloth outside and shake it out, that's good, too. Just get all the dust out of the room and off the walls as best you can.
Let the walls dry if you used a damp rag. NOTE: if you use a damp rag and you're using the spackling compound I linked to above, the patch might turn light pink again when you go over it with the damp rag. Remember it's pink when it's not dry! It will dry again; just make sure your rag is only damp and not soaked when wiping down the walls.
If you have painted chalkboard paint on the wall – like I did with our backsplash – and you want to cover it with regular latex paint, you must sand it first. Use 120- or 180-grit sandpaper to rough up the area with the chalkboard paint, especially the edges. You don't want a ridge in your new paint job where the chalkboard paint used to be.
Chalkboard paint backsplash sanded and primed.
Once you've cleaned up the dust, you are ready to prime and paint the walls!
If you are painting over bare drywall, or chalkboard paint, or anything other than latex paint, you'll want to use a primer first, before applying any new latex paint. You can use a paint + primer combination product here, although I think a separate primer and then good quality paint gives you a better paint job.
My favorite primer is Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 White Water-Based Interior/Exterior Primer Sealer . I've used it to cover water stains as well as the chalkboard paint, above, and been thrilled with the results. In my kitchen redo, you can't even tell there was ever chalkboard paint there!
And there you go! You are ready to paint!
For more posts about painting and color, click HERE.
Please let me know if you have any questions! I'll tackle how to prep trim and doors for painting in a separate post (this one is getting long – thanks if you're still reading!!).
Thanks for sharing useful post. It's really easy to follow.


The Lean Horse Ultra is considered to be one of the best first time ultra's in the country because of the great running surface and gentle elevation changes.
For more than nine years, Lean Horse 100 Ultra has inspired runners of all abilities and from all walks of life, from all over the country to come to South Dakota to test themselves over the 50k, 50 mile and 100 mile distances. This year we will offer two more races. We will have a 30K and a Five person 100 Mile Relay.

Who Is Blocking Bills to Help Arizona Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse?
May 14, 2019 by Demsas
(UPDATE: A previous version of this story misstated Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery's stance on these bills. He has questioned an aspect of one bill, not opposed them both outright. We apologize for the error.)
One key lawmaker and other powerful interests have worked hard this legislative session to ensure that in Arizona, survivors of childhood sexual abuse only have until the wise old age of 20 to sue their abusers or those who allowed the abuse to happen.
Twice so far this year, Arizona State Senator Eddie Farnsworth has blocked or vocally opposed bills to expand that statute of limitations beyond two years and to retroactively create a one- or two-year window for survivors for whom the statute of limitations has expired.
The insurance industry has lobbied hard against those bills. Republican Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery questioned an element of one of them, too.
Those bills, sponsored by Republican State Senator Paul Boyer, have barely seen the light of day in the legislature. The first, SB 1255, never received a hearing thanks to Farnsworth, who is chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The second, SB 1101, was a strike-all amendment that the House Appropriations Committee discussed in early April, when Republican members on the committee refused to allow a vote.
But the issue resurfaced last week on the Senate floor, when state senators engaged in a lively discussion on SB 1255 while voting on a different bill that would have helped registered sex offenders remove their names from the registry.
Boyer has repeatedly said he will not vote on a state budget until Arizona passes a law that will give survivors more time to file suit in civil court.
"I'm concentrating on 1255. Now, I will, in a heartbeat, take 1101," he told Phoenix New Times in a phone interview. "There's multiple paths to help child victims. Both of those would work in my mind." He said that although Farnworth had the most vocal opposition, Senate President Karen Fann and House Speaker Rusty Bowers had the final power to allow a vote on these bills.
SB 1101 would give survivors until the age of 30 to file a lawsuit against an abuser or against a person or organization that failed to report the abuse, either intentionally or through neglect. It would also open up a one- or two-year window for survivors older than that to file suit. SB 1255 would give a survivor seven years after discovery — the point at they should have reasonably known they were harmed — to file suit.
Giving survivors more time is critical, Boyer said, indicating that they often need even more time than his bill would allow for. "We know from all the literature, they don't come forward until their 40s," he said.
Nevertheless, the insurance industry and a state legislator remain keen on a plan that would protect sex abusers from civil lawsuits. Why? The most reliable answer is money, but then again, you never know what an Arizona politician could be hiding.
Paul Boyer
azleg.gov
Farnsworth, it's worth noting, has a nephew in prison for kidnapping and raping a 12-year-old girl. That information has been public since Albert Farnsworth's arrest in 2003, when he was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison with no possibility of parole. He pleaded guilty to three counts of child molestation and attempted sexual conduct with a minor.
Eddie Farnsworth did not respond to New Times' request for an interview.
But the senator was concerned enough about SB 1101 that he showed up at the House Appropriations Committee on April 4 to voice his opposition to the striker. It's not usual for a senator to show up at an information-only House committee hearing to oppose a bill.
At the hearing, Farnsworth, who is from a prominent Mormon family, warned committee members that expanding the statute of limitations would expose people to false allegations, years after the fact. Toward the end, he told them, "I didn't intend to come and testify."
A day earlier, Montgomery, a staunch Catholic, had texted Boyer messages that the state senator viewed as an effort to weaken the legislation, prior to the House committee's discussion of SB 1101, AZFamily reported. In one text message, Montgomery questioned the temporary window that would allow survivors for whom the statute of limitations had expired to sue, although he denied taking a position against the bill.
In a statement to New Times after the original version of this story was published, Montgomery said, "I have never lobbied for or against any bill seeking to extend Arizona's statute of limitations for bringing forth a civil claim involving this type of offensive conduct."
Montgomery added, "As a consequence, I have no objection to the current legislation. I urge the Legislature to take action this session."
Mike Low, a lobbyist for the Medical Insurance Company of Arizona, which covers groups of doctors, also wrote to those members prior to the committee meeting. He wanted to express the insurer's "grave reservations" to the bill, the intent of which "appears to be to create risk that insurers never expected or priced," he wrote.
In an interview with New Times, Low said that the insurer wasn't opposed to prospectively expanding the statute of limitations. Rather, it opposed the retroactive window and any reference to "negligence."
"You could have people in the Boy Scouts, Scout masters, etc., who are pulled into this thing, and the allegation being from years ago that they knew or should have known. And we just think that's unfair," Low said.
The Medical Insurance Company of Arizona could not predict the financial consequences of such a bill on its own coffers if it passed, Low said.
"How do you go about assessing something that doesn't exist right now? You look to other states where it's happened," he added, and he pointed to California, where he claimed 1,000 lawsuits had been filed in one year after the state opened a window for survivors to sue retroactively.
"That created a number of bankruptcies," he said. (It's not clear how many lawsuits have been filed solely in California as a result of such change, but it is true that Catholic dioceses in that state, as well as in Delaware and Minnesota, have filed for Chapter 11 after their states enacted laws allowing old claims to go forward in civil court.)
The American Tort Reform Association voiced similar concerns about money. In a letter to Arizona State Representative John Allen on April 3, president Sherman Joyce wrote, "the few states that have revived time-barred claims against nonprofit organizations and private businesses have experienced a surge of lawsuits and bankruptcies."
The Catholic Church, which has covered up sexual abuses for decades, is not the only institution with reason to fear lawsuits.
In May, an investigation into the Mormon Church by VICE News found that a hotline intended for victims of sexual abuse actually led to the church's lawyers. One of the abusers named in that story, who is now serving 35 to 75 years in a West Virginia prison, once worked as a missionary in Arizona.

In Bitez, they are busy with a huge operation. Since 4 months the Bitez Municipality is busy with changing the street signs. From now on the Street Names will be changed to Street Numbers. So there won't be any long street names anymore, no signs that are unpronounceable.
The old street signs will be removed, until everything is in place. The Municipality already placed the new sign boards with numbers and they are informing the telecom, water, and electricity companies.
There are several reasons for changing to numbers. Using street address numbers enables better response by emergency services, improved delivery of mail and services such as waste management, and less confusion for the millions of tourists not familiar with the area. So it sound like this was a smart thing to do for the future of Bodrum.
I think there is also a bad side about changing these street signs. Some Historical value will be lost, and History is what made Bodrum famous as we know it today.

Q: How to return a specific method on button click event? Two buttons should update the value "PACK_LIB" inside "Stickers.java".
When they overwrite the String, the method setDefaultStickerPack() should be restarted.
When clicking on buttons b1 or b2 the value "PACK_LIB" will be overwritten by the value "allstickers" or "teststickers".
How can the button b1 or b2 restart the method "if(in==null) "inside setDefaultStickerPack() ?

Ex-DeSantis spokesman Piccolo to work on career education initiatives in new state job
January 5, 2021 January 5, 2021 Pineapple ReportLeave a Comment on Ex-DeSantis spokesman Piccolo to work on career education initiatives in new state job
Orlando Sentinel | by Leslie Postal | January 5, 2021
Fred Piccolo, a longtime GOP operative who most recently served as Gov. Ron DeSantis' spokesman, will focus on workforce education issues when he joins the Florida Department of Education on Wednesday.
Piccolo will earn $120,000 in his new job working for the department's division of colleges. He has been tapped to help state colleges and other department divisions "elevate" programs related to career and adult education, key needs as Florida looks to recover economically from the pandemic, said Taryn Fenske, a spokeswoman for the education department.
Piccolo's resignation was announced in late December, as he faced criticism for a controversial Christmas Eve post on Twitter about COVID-19 victims. Piccolo, however, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel, that he had submitted his resignation letter to DeSantis on Dec. 23.
In the Dec. 24 tweet , Piccolo said photos of each dead COVID-19 victim should be balanced with 99 photos of people who survive the disease.
Piccolo will be an executive vice chancellor for the department's college system, which oversees Florida's 28 community colleges. In his new job, he will earn $34,500 less than he did as DeSantis' communications director.
Piccolo's career has been spent almost exclusively in politics. Since 2006, most of his work has been serving as a spokesman or chief of staff for Republican campaigns and elected officials, and he has no experience in Florida's public schools or state colleges, according to his LinkedIn profile.
But Fenske said Piccolo has worked on both federal and state educational policy issues in his political work, making him a good fit for the department.
"He definitely has great experience in education on different levels," Fenske said. "We're thrilled to have him."
Piccolo was not available to comment, she said.
Piccolo was chief of staff for former U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, a Lakeland Republican, for two years, and before that a communications director for two other GOP Congressman, his profile said. He also worked on three Republican campaigns, served as president of a political marketing firm and worked as the communications director for Republican speakers of the Florida House before joining DeSantis' team.
His new boss at the education department is Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, a former House speaker for whom Piccolo worked when Corcoran was the House leader.
In a statement, Corcoran said Piccolo "brings a wealth of knowledge, skill, and years of experience to the department and will provide strategic leadership" to the department's efforts to boost educational programs for students who have finished high school.
The education department's website currently shows one executive vice chancellor under the division of colleges. Carrie Henderson will remain in her post, Fenske said, with Piccolo becoming a new addition.
Henderson has a Ph.D. in higher education administration and has worked at other jobs in the department's college division and at the state college in Jacksonville previously, among other positions, her LinkedIn profile said.
The department had an open position that was used to create what is now Piccolo's job, Fenske said.
"Fred's position is an opportunity to elevate the department's work to support not only the work of the Division of Florida Colleges but also the divisions of Career and Adult Education and K-12 Public Schools in cross-divisional areas of outreach," she added in an email.
Piccolo earned a bachelor's degree in economics and history from the University of Central Florida and a law degree from Stetson University, his LinkedIn profile said.

Phi Phi remains a favourite destination for many visitors to Thailand, lured by the gorgeous beaches and laid-back charm of this famous island. There is plenty of nightlife available on Phi Phi, but equally it is possible to find a serene spot away from the crowds such as the luxurious Zeavola resort.
Zeavola has 48 deluxe wooden villas situated on the northern tip of Phi Phi at Laem Tong. The vision of the Thai owner is for Zeavola to be a leading boutique hotel not just in Thailand, but the whole of Asia.


Russell Westbrook scored a game-high 17 points and Darren Collison added 14 to lead UCLA to a thrashing of the Oregon State Beavers, 84-49, before 9,727 at Pauley Pavilion.
Westbrook and Collison also combined for 16 assists in the game with Westbrook dishing out 7 and Collison recording a game-high 9 dimes.
In reality, the game was over before it even started.
A once proud program is in shambles due to ineffectual coaching and player desertions from the squad. This season, the hapless Beavers (0-14, 6-20) do not have near the talent nor coaching to compete in the Pac-10 conference.
The Bruins (23-3, 11-2) jumped out to an early 10-4 lead shortly after tip-off and built it up to 49-27 by halftime. In the second half, UCLA extended the lead to its biggest margin of 36.
Oregon State shot just 34.5% from the field. They were outrebounded by UCLA, 39-20. Guard Josh Tarver was the only Beaver scoring in double figures, finishing with 10 points.
UCLA shot 55.2% and was 5 of 14 from beyond the arc for 35.7%.
Josh Shipp, mired in a shooting slump, continued his poor shooting from three-point land, missing on all four of his long-distance attempts. Its obvious Shipp has lost some confidence with his shooting, in the game he appeared apprehensive to shoot whenever an outside opportunity was available to him. He finished with just 6 points.
Freshman Kevin Love barely missed another double-double going for 11 points and 9 rebounds in just 21 minutes of action. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had another solid game, finishing with 8 points on 4 of 5 shooting and hauled down 7 rebounds.
No Bruin played over 29 minutes in the contest.
By the mid-seven minute mark in the second half, UCLA Coach Ben Howland had removed all his starters and the seats in Pauley Pavilion began emptying.
Reserve James Keefe had perhaps one of his best games since returning to the roster. Keefe finished with 6 points and 7 rebounds, and just as importantly, looked more comfortable in the flow of the team's offense and defense.
Senior Lorenzo Mata-Real played 18 minutes off the bench, scoring 11 points and blocking 3 shots. In two consecutive possessions, Mata-Real scored one basket off a nice left-handed hook, and then next time down he scored on a right handed hook.
Walk-on Matt Lee helped to cap off the Bruins' scoring for the night with an alley-oop pass to freshman Chace Stanback for a slam dunk off a break.
UCLA will now prepare for their game against Oregon on Saturday afternoon at Pauley Pavilion. The Ducks dropped their Thursday night contest to USC at the Galen Center, 81-75.
I was really impressed with Mata-Real --- I loved his game today, lots of energy. Its too bad Howland can't find minutes for him. I think it would be great to have Love in the high post once in awhile and Mata in the low...if not for just 5-8 minutes to throw some variety in the offense.
Boring game. Even the announcers were just rambling on about whatever, not paying attention to the game. Hard to focus and enjoy when that happens. Too bad Or St. is so bad this year. This doesn't help the Pac-10's SOS or RPI ratings + doesn't prepare our team for the big dance. Really, there is nothing gained from a game like this. Thank goodness there were no known injuries. Could you imagine if we had lost Love in a nothing game like this?
Too much partity in the Pac-10. 6 teams will make the big dance, 3 others to the NIT, and Or St... well, fortunately for them their season will end.
Didn't think we'd here from poster "O" today.
He's the guy who picked Oregon St to pull off the upset, and said he has been right every game so far, yet I found no proof of that here on the Bruin Basketball Report archives!
No victory suds for him today!
Good point BruinBly. There is nothing that instills a players confidence than when they get extended playing time. You can see that with Keefe and his increased minutes. But with Coach H's talent on this team, it is a real coaching feat just to rotate and sub at the right times! Ben is one of the best at that!

The cinnamon-throated hermit (Phaethornis nattereri) is a species in the hummingbird family Trochilidae. It is found in Bolivia and Brazil.

Taxonomy and systematics

The taxonomy of the cinnamon-throated hermit is unsettled. Birds called Maranhao hermit are sometimes treated as a subspecies of the cinnamon-throated hermit, but at present major taxonomic systems follow the analyses by Hinkelmann that determined it is the male plumage of P. nattereri. However, the "Maranhao" hermit only occurs in the separate northern part of the range of P. nattereri, and as it appears to have different vocalizations from those of the other population it might warrant recognition as a distinct species, P. maranhaoensis. Molecular studies are needed to confirm or deny that assignment. As currently understood, the cinnamon-throated hermit is monotypic.

Description

The cinnamon-throated hermit is about  long and weighs . Males have browish upperparts, green wings, and tawny underparts. Their inner pair of tail feathers are long and white tipped. Both sexes have a black "mask" with a pale supercilium and malar stripe. Females are similar to the male but with a paler throat and longer central tail feathers.

Distribution and habitat

The cinnamon-throated hermit is known from two separate areas. One includes eastern Bolivia and the adjacent Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia. The other is in northeastern Brazil, mostly in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, and Ceará, and in Pará and Tocantins as well. It is speculated to also inhabit the broad region between the two known areas. The proposed "Maranhao" hermit is found in the northeastern area. The species inhabits several non-rainforest landscapes including semi-deciduous, secondary, and gallery forests, cerrado, and caatinga. In elevation it ranges from sea level to .

Behavior

Movement

The cinnamon-throated hermit is believed to be sedentary.

Feeding

The cinnamon-throated hermit is a "trap-line" feeder like other hermit hummingbirds, visiting a circuit of flowering plants for nectar. It also consumes small arthropods.

Breeding

Little is known about the cinnamon-throated hermit's breeding phenology. Its nest is reported to be suspended below a drooping leaf. The ""Maranhao" hermit breeds between November and April.

Vocalization

The cinnamon-throated hermit's song is "a high-pitched phrase repeated incessantly without pauses between phrases...e.g. 'tsee ... tsee ... tsee ... nya-ka-wee'."

Status

The IUCN has assessed the cinnamon-throated hermit as being of Least Concern, though its population size has not been determined and is believed to be decreasing. It is poorly known though thought to be locally common, and occurs is a few protected areas.

Teachers' blockade in Uruapan, one of two that remain in Michoacán.
Two rail blockades remain in place in Michoacán even though the state and federal governments have released more than 2 billion pesos in funding to pay salaries and bonuses in response to teachers' demands.
Teachers who belong to the National Front of Struggle for Socialism (FNLS) and the National Democratic Executive Committee (CEND) are blocking tracks in Pátzcuaro and Uruapan after lifting their blockade in the former municipality for less than 24 hours earlier this week.
The CNTE union removed blockades in five other Michoacán locations last week after the state government paid teachers more than 1.2 billion pesos (US $62.9 million) in salaries for the second half of January.
The blockades, first erected on January 14 to protest against unpaid salaries and benefits, have cost the economy billions of pesos.
In December, the federal government transferred 1 billion pesos (US $52.4 million) to its state counterpart to cover teachers' salaries for that month as well as the first part of their annual bonus and last month, it sent another billion pesos for January wages and the second bonus installment.
Yesterday, Michoacán Education Secretary Alberto Frutis Solís said that a further 95 million pesos has been made available to cover a payment known as Compensación Única Nacional (Single National Compensation) and that 80 million pesos will go to paying stipends to teaching students.
All told, the funds add up to 2.17 billion pesos (US $113.9 million).
Nevertheless, two groups of just under 40 radical teachers each refuse to fall into line with the CNTE union, whose Section 18 leaders reached a preliminary agreement with federal and state authorities that included a commitment to lift the blockades.
In Pátzcuaro, the teachers removed their blockade on Monday night but on Tuesday they returned to the railway tracks while in Caltzontzin, a community in Uruapan, they haven't moved at all.
Section 18 members accuse the FNLA and CEND teachers of holding up further negotiations with state and federal authorities. Most schools in Michoacán remain closed.
In the 24 days since the blockades began, around 10,000 shipping containers have been stranded and more than 300 trains have been halted.
The Nuevo León industry association Caintra warned that the ongoing blockades are placing jobs at risk in several states including Michoacán, Colima, Guanajuato, México state, Mexico City, Sonora, Sinaloa and Baja California.
The association's president, Juan Ignacio Garza Herrera, told a press conference that Mexico has lost 30% of its port capacity due to the inability of trains to move cargo from Lázaro Cárdenas and Manzanillo. Three million tonnes of freight have been stranded, he said.
Garza claimed that around 50,000 double semi-trailers are needed to transport such a quantity of cargo.
With the blockades estimated to be costing the economy more than 1 billion pesos a day, accumulated losses are now in the range of 25 to 30 billion pesos (US $1.3 to $1.6 billion).
Evaluating teachers is not a priority for the federal government, President López Obrador said today as debate over the new education reform continues.
