This deeply engrossing and sophisticated Japanese novel unpeels itself in multiple nested narratives over its 855 page length.
If you have heard of Minae Mizumura's A True Novel at all, it's likely for one of two reasons: Either because it has been loosely inspired by Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (Mizumura makes a reference in the beginning of the novel to "the desire to emulate being the basis of all art") or because of its unusual structure. A True Novel is a "nested" novel which, over its 855 pages, unpeels like a giant onion.
There never seems to be a clearly delineated point in this narrative -- which centers on a grimly self-made Japanese man, the handsome and Heathcliffian, Taro Azuma -- when the story actually "starts", in the way one expects a traditional novel to begin. In fact, the novel commences with a 165-page prologue by a fictionalized version of the author, who positions the story she is about to tell as "true" and introduces the reader to Taro during the period when she knew him, as a chauffeur working in the US in the '60s.
The story of Taro's life before and after this period is recounted to her by a literary editor named Yusuke Kato, who in turn was told the story after an accidental meeting with Fumiko Tsuchiya, an impoverished woman who became the maid and nanny of the Japanese family that took Taro in when he himself was a bedraggled and bullied little boy. The accident occurs during a rainstorm, when Yusuke crashes his bicycle on his way to the Japanese vacation destination, Karuizawa, to meet a friend, and instead ends up spending the night at the run-down cabin outside of Karuizawa that Fumiko shares with Taro in their latter years.
The story that follows, narrated by Fumiko through the filter of Yusuke's memory, centers on Fumiko, Taro, and Yoko, the Cathy-like young woman with whom Taro grows up, loves, is rejected by, and, after her marriage to someone else, has an affair with. Fumiko's own relationship with the younger Taro is somewhat ambiguous through most of the story, and while reading those portions of the narrative indirectly narrated by Fumiko, one would do well to bear in mind that, in Japanese novels just as in Western ones, the narrator is not always to be entirely trusted.
The story of these three characters is itself nested inside an extensive family chronicle tracing the history of the relatively wealthy Saegusa family, of which Yoko is a member and which took Taro in as a sort of ward and servant, and the more-aristocratic Shigemitsu family, which Yoko marries into. And this family chronicle, in turn, rests inside a still-larger narrative of post-war Japan (and to a lesser extent, the post-war US) and, in particular, the class divisions that caused Taro to become first impoverished, and then driven, wealthy and, ultimately, embittered.
The ultra-long prologue is highly artificial in structure, contriving as it does to allow the "Minae Mizumura" character, who has no strong connection with Taro, to encounter him or hear about him numerous times before she finally meets Yusuke, who is her entrée to the stories of Taro when he was young, before she knew him in the US, and also when he and Fumiko are old.
And yet Yusuke's own "prologue", telling of his bicycle accident and his meeting with Fumiko and Taro in the cabin, takes another 135 pages, before Fumiko begins the actual story with the words, "I'm afraid there'll be a lot of digressions." So many, in fact, that Taro as a child, hollow-eyed with hunger, isn't properly introduced to the reader until page 430; it could be argued that this, in fact, past the point where most other novels end, is when the novel really "begins".
If this sounds like a criticism, it's not. It's fascinating to watch the structure of this novel calmly unpeel itself, and to reflect upon the patience with which Mizumura reveals the truth about the interrelationship among Yoko, Fumiko and Taro. Taro himself, though inspired by Heathcliff, is a fascinating and enigmatic character in his own right, and his journeys between America and Japan, and between one family and another, draws a compelling portrait of how Japan worked itself out of poverty in the post-war period into glittering prosperity, and subsequently into a kind of aimless and directionless funk in the present day.
Wind and fog, pine and birch, horned beetles and stag beetles, slowly rotting windowsills and dirty stucco walls, stairs that creaked with every step, the smell of wood burning in the fireplace, the clink of delicate china teacups on saucers, the laughter of a bevy of lovely women – to Yoko, Karuizawa was a place where these were familiar, established things.
The difficult path that these two children end up following after this moment – accompanied, at crucial points of the narrative, by Fumiko – is the simple story that this deeply engrossing and sophisticated novel tells in such a memorable and unusual form.

U.S. consumer spending in September recorded its smallest gain in eight months as income barely rose, suggesting some cooling in domestic demand after recent hefty increases.
The Commerce Department said on Friday consumer spending edged up 0.1 percent after an unrevised 0.4 percent rise in August. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
September's consumer spending data was included in Thursday's third-quarter gross domestic product report. Consumer spending rose at a brisk 3.2 percent annual pace in the third quarter, helping to lift GDP growth to a 1.5 percent rate.
Growth in the third quarter was constrained by business efforts to whittle down an inventory bloat, a strong dollar and ongoing spending cuts by energy companies.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast consumer spending climbing 0.2 percent last month. When adjusted for inflation, consumer spending rose 0.2 percent in September after increasing 0.4 percent in August, suggesting consumption will continue to support the economy through the rest of the year.
Personal income ticked up 0.1 percent in September, the smallest rise since March, after increasing 0.4 percent in the prior month. With spending sluggish, inflation remained benign in September.

A price index for consumer spending slipped 0.1 percent, the first decline since January, after being flat in August. In the 12 months through September, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose 0.2 percent, the smallest increase since April.
It increased 0.3 percent in August. Excluding food and energy, prices rose 0.1 percent for a fifth straight month. The so-called core PCE price index rose 1.3 percent in the 12 months through September after a similar gain in August.
Inflation has persistently run below the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target.


Car accident claims can be complex, but they can become even more so when they involve an Uber or Lyft driver. If you have been injured in an accident with an Uber or Lyft driver, you should immediately get in touch with an experienced car accident attorney who can guide you through your claim from start to finish. In this new and emerging area of the law, Justice Law Office is familiar with how to skillfully handle these types of claims and negotiate for the full and fair compensation our clients are entitled to after an accident.
Contact us to talk about your claim. Initial consultations are free of charge!
How are Uber Accidents Different from Other Car Accidents?
One of the biggest differences between a typical car accident and an Uber/Lyft accident is liability. In order to drive for a rideshare service, a driver is required to have their own personal insurance coverage for off-duty use in addition to a corporate policy that goes into effect when the Uber or Lyft app is turned on. Determining liability for an accident can become complex in some situations, such as when a driver is out roaming for a job or when they are on their way to pick someone up. Furthermore, because Uber considers its drivers independent contractors rather than employees, they may be less willing to pay out an accident claim and attempt to get the driver to shoulder the responsibility.
Rideshare companies are facing scrutiny for their lack of accountability when their drivers get into accidents. Drivers, passengers, and pedestrians who are injured in an accident caused by a rideshare driver may be able to file a lawsuit in order to hold the company accountable. Justice Law Office can help!
Rideshare drivers have a responsibility to drive in a safe and responsible manner in order to prevent injury to their passengers and others on the road. If you have been injured because your driver failed in this duty, you may be able to recover money for the damages you have suffered, including medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages. If an Uber or Lyft accident has resulted in the wrongful death of a loved one, families may be able to recover damages for funeral and burial costs, loss of companionship and support, and more.
A rideshare accident can be a stressful experience, which is why you should leave the insurance company to us. Our skilled Louisville car accident attorneys are prepared to fight for maximum compensation on your behalf.
Time is limited to file your Uber accident claim, so don't wait. Set up your free consultation today.

Home News & Analysis Bailey joins LA firm AVP Advisors
Bailey joins LA firm AVP Advisors
Eliza Bailey, formerly head of private real estate debt at Partners Group, has a new job
REC staff
3rd October, 2014
Eliza Bailey, the former head of private real estate debt at Partners Group, has landed a new employer.
She officially started on 1 October as a managing principal at Los Angeles-based AVP Advisors, a private real estate investment firm that advises institutional investors seeking access to emerging managers. She will be based in Portland, Oregon.
Bailey will be one of four partners at AVP, along with Suzanne West, who herself joined the firm on August 1 after eight years as founding partner at Park Madison, a New York-based capital raising and advisory firm; Barry Chase, who is responsible for overseeing the company's investment activities; Amy Ko, who also serves as chief financial officer and is in charge of the firm's finance, accounting, reporting and corporate operations.
She will work directly with Chase on sourcing, underwriting and asset management of emerging managers. Additionally, she will focus on capital formation; helping to develop AVP's overall growth strategy; and actively mentoring emerging managers on institutional best practices. The firm, whose current capital-raising platform includes an existing fund of funds and a number of co-investment vehicles, also is said to have recently launched a new $500m fund. AVP declined to comment.
Bailey most recently was head of private real estate debt at Partners Group, where she was a member of the firm's private real estate team in San Francisco and its private real estate investment committee. During her six-and-a-half-year tenure, she led the Zug, Switzerland-based investment company's real estate debt investment activities and served as portfolio manager for several of the US real estate mandate clients.
Since leaving Partners Group, Bailey had been doing project work for Pension Consulting Alliance, where she previously had worked from 2002 to 2007. At PCA, she had been responsible for real estate research, investment product analysis, investment advisor due diligence and client consulting.
Bailey has known Chase since her days at PCA, where she underwrote and established separate accounts and joint ventures with emerging managers that included AVP. Additionally, she executed direct deals and programmatic joint ventures with rising firms at Partners Group.
Prior to PCA, she founded Property Solutions Enterprises, a private investment business focusing on residential real estate. With that business, she structured investment opportunities, completed property level due diligence, created expansive fee and revenue models and conducted real estate market research.

Robert Brieger (* 21. November 1956 in Wien) ist ein Offizier des Österreichischen Bundesheeres im Range eines Generals. Seit 16. Mai 2022 ist er Vorsitzender des Militärausschusses der Europäischen Union.

Laufbahn
Nach der Matura rückte Brieger 1975 zum österreichischen Bundesheer ein. Von 1976 bis 1979 absolvierte er die Militärakademie in Wiener Neustadt, Waffengattung Panzer. Nach abgeschlossener Offiziersausbildung diente Brieger zunächst als Kommandant eines Aufklärungszuges in Mautern an der Donau, dann als Fernmeldeoffizier und später Kompaniekommandant in Zwölfaxing. Von 1985 bis 1988 absolvierte Brieger den Generalstabslehrgang, um danach in verschiedenen Stabsfunktionen, u. a. als Stabschef der 9. Panzergrenadierbrigade Verwendung zu finden.

Auslandserfahrungen sammelte Brieger bei der Bundeswehr und am NATO Defense College in Rom. Von 2001 bis 2002 war Brieger Kommandant des österreichischen Kontingents im Kosovo, von 2011 bis 2012 Kommandant der EUFOR-Truppe in Bosnien und Herzegowina. Zwischen seinen Einsätzen im ehemaligen Jugoslawien war Brieger ab 2008 Leiter der Gruppe Einsatzgrundlagen. In dieser Funktion zeichnete er unter anderem für die Planung der österreichischen Beteiligung an der UN-Mission im Tschad verantwortlich.

Zuletzt war Brieger in verschiedenen Positionen im Verteidigungsministerium in Verwendung. Unter anderem diente er ab 2016 als Leiter der Gruppe Logistik, ab 2017 als Stabschef des Verteidigungsministers. Die Entscheidung, Brieger zum Nachfolger des aus Altersgründen in den Ruhestand tretenden Othmar Commenda als Generalstabschef des Bundesheeres zu machen, fiel am 16. Juli 2018. Seine feierliche Einsetzung erfolgte am 27. Juli. Brieger war als eindeutiger Favorit in das Rennen um Commendas Nachfolge gegangen. Im November 2021 war geplant, dass General Brieger seinen Ruhestand antreten solle. Am 19. Mai 2021 wurde bekannt gegeben, dass er neuer Vorsitzender des Militärausschusses der Europäischen Union (EUMC) wird. Er wurde am 19. Mai 2021 in Brüssel von den 27 EU-Staaten zum Nachfolger des italienischen Generals Claudio Graziano gewählt.

Am 6. Mai 2022 wurde er als Generalstabschef des österreichischen Bundesheeres offiziell verabschiedet.

Am 16. Mai 2022 wurde er zum Vorsitzenden des Militärausschusses der Europäischen Union (CHAIRMAN EUMC) für eine reguläre Amtszeit von drei Jahren berufen.

Programm
Brieger galt als konservativ und national, jedoch nicht als Parteigänger. Frühere Vorgesetzte berichten, Brieger sei "nicht rot, schwarz oder blau, sondern in erster Linie rot-weiß-rot". Beobachter in den Medien gehen davon aus, dass Brieger seine Beförderung durch Mario Kunasek und die Bundesregierung Kurz I seiner Nähe zur FPÖ verdankt. Heeresminister anderer Parteien hätten vermutlich andere Kandidaten bevorzugt, wobei in diesem Zusammenhang konkrete Namen kolportiert werden. Ungeachtet dessen wurde Brieger als "unaufgeregter Fachmann" anerkannt. Der Präsident der Österreichischen Offiziersgesellschaft, Erich Cibulka, bezeichnete Brieger als "fachlich unstrittig". In einer seiner ersten Stellungnahmen als Generalstabschef zeigte Brieger sich auf einer Linie mit der FPÖ, indem er "Massenmigration" als die "größte gegenwärtige Bedrohung" für Österreichs Sicherheit identifizierte.

Brieger trat für eine deutliche Stärkung des Bundesheers ein. Er forderte die Erhöhung des österreichischen Heeresbudgets auf 3 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr. Er sah das Bundesheer als von Geldsorgen geplagt, mögliche Kürzungen standen im Raum. Anstelle von Kürzungen forderte Brieger einerseits Investitionen in die Luftraumüberwachung, insbesondere die Hubschrauberflotte, in die Mobilität sowie in den Schutz der Soldaten, andererseits mehr langfristige Budgetgarantien im Sinne einer Verbesserung der Planbarkeit.
In Übereinstimmung mit der Österreichischen Offiziersgesellschaft verlangte Brieger darüber hinaus die Verlängerung des Grundwehrdiensts von derzeit sechs auf acht Monate.

Allgemein wollte der Generalstabschef auf eine Neupositionierung des Bundesheers in der Öffentlichkeit hinarbeiten. Die verfassungsmäßige Kernaufgabe der bewaffneten Landesverteidigung soll mehr als in den letzten Jahren in den Mittelpunkt gestellt werden. Brieger kritisierte, dass die Selbstdarstellung der Streitmacht in der jüngeren Vergangenheit zu viel Betonung auf Katastrophenschutz und Assistenzeinsätze gelegt habe. Der Versuch, "in der Zivilgesellschaft anzukommen" und "möglichst wenig" von "Schießen und Waffen" zu sprechen, habe zu einer Proliferation von "Umschreibungen" und "Euphemismen" geführt, so Brieger in einem Interview: "Wenn wir es bei Schneeschaufeln, Friedenseinsätzen und ein bisschen Heeressport belassen, sind wir nicht glaubwürdig. Wir müssen das Selbstverständnis, dass wir die Soldaten Österreichs sind, wieder aufnehmen."

Privates
Brieger, der in Eichgraben wohnt, ist verheiratet und Vater einer Tochter und zweier Söhne. Seine Hobbys sind die Jagd und Malerei.

Leighton IT Installs Bosch at PMG
by Security Electronics and Networks | @Articles Case Studies | November 21, 2014, 12:42am AEDT
Integrator Leighton IT has installed Bosch video, access control and alarm systems in Preston Motors Group's new warehouse and dealership sites in Melbourne.
PRESTON Motors Group is at the forefront of car sales in Australia. Founded in 1912, it is one of Australia's longest established and highly-valued motor vehicle retailers. Originally, Prestons Motors Group distributed predominantly Holden vehicles to the drivers of Melbourne. Today, Preston Motors Group sells motor vehicles and spare parts from brands including Hyundai, Suzuki, Holden, Ford and Porsche, throughout its range of dealership sites.
Earlier this year, the Preston Motors Group began constructing a brand new spare parts distribution warehouse in Dandenong, as well as a new dealership site in Oakleigh. Both the warehouse and dealership will play host to some of the most expensive and highly valuable motor vehicle products. An advanced security system at both sites was of paramount importance. Also, as the sites are newly constructed, a solution covering all areas of security was crucial.
John Leighton, owner of Leighton IT, was charged with sourcing an optimum security solution for the 2 new facilities. Bosch Security Systems was successful in its bid to provide Preston Motors Group with a complete solution covering all 3 electronic security essentials: CCTV, alarm systems, and access control.
Despite the differences between the 2 Preston Motors Group sites, Bosch was able to provide equipment highly tailored to the warehouse and dealership. In terms of CCTV requirements, IP cameras which are able to produce clear images under low lighting conditions were noted as critical by the customer. Bosch FLEXIDOME IP starlight 7000 VR cameras were chosen to cover these CCTV needs.
These cameras have excellent low-light performance, boasting a sensitivity of 0.017 lux in colour mode and 0.0057 lux in monochrome mode. In addition, the cameras are ideal for indoor and outdoor use, due to the compact aesthetic design with vandal resistant housing, which was ideal for both the warehouse and distribution site. The mounting options for this camera are numerous, including surface, wall, corner, and suspended-ceiling mounting, which tailored nicely to the various sections in the warehouse and dealership.
To meet alarm system requirements, Bosch's Solution 6000 was selected due to its combination of functionality and flexible design. For large applications like the Dandenong warehouse and Oakleigh dealership sites, the Solution 6000 is ideal, as it is powerful enough to handle 144 zones and up to 16 access doors, as well as cater for up to 256 users.
In addition, the Solution 6000 has innovative connectivity features, including GSM, SMS, Email, CID, GPRS, CSV IP, SIA 3+ Text, Voice and Domestic Dial communication formats. The built-in high speed connection (RS485 LAN) allows devices to be placed up to 1.2 km away from the control panel, which is extremely convenient for the large Dandenong warehouse.
"The products that I worked with were great, and both sites are performing fantastically"
To cover access control, Bosch AMC2s were selected and installed in the Dandenong warehouse and Oakleigh dealership. These intelligent access controllers can manage between one and eight entrances. In the Preston Motors Group locations, the AMC2s were used for access points including doors, gates, barriers, ID card readers, door opening elements and sensors.
The AMC2s allow monitoring of entrances and internal alarm status, as well as implementing authorization checks, PIN codes and reader configurations, plus sending out error, malfunction and alarm messages. All of these functions are essential in ensuring safety and supervising valuable stock.
"From the word go everything worked so seamlessly," says Abe Tinginis, sales representative at Bosch Security. "The products work very well in combination, and we are pleased to have provided Preston Motors Group with a whole security package."
The integrator is pleased with the system as well.
"I am very happy with the way it all went together and the support provided by Bosch Security," says John Leighton. "The products that I worked with were great, and both sites are performing fantastically."♦

A fine and bold set of three graduated sized serving salvers which would look great on the dining table or placed on a wall for decorative purposes. These serving salvers are in a used condition however, they still possess a great sense of style with their original bold turned handles, metal rivets and deepness.
They are made of pressed metal with the turned handles being of hard wood. All three are in as found condition with marks and dings but overall strong and rigid. They would have originally been used either in a large country house or possibly a club bearing in mind the size and form. You could still use if you wish after a quick wash and due to size are fantastic and rather majestic to serve the Sunday joint on!

The Oxford Martin Programme on
Informal Cities
By 2050 nearly 70% of the world's population will be urban, and delivery of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals will increasingly be in the context of city environments. However, as formalised cities grow in the developing world, so do informal, self-constructed settlements and their economies.
These operate outside the common legal and regulatory framework and yet are intricately woven into the functioning of the city. This informal sector covers the entire social and economic framework of places like Brazil's favelas or South Africa's townships. Globally, the informal sector is estimated to represent over 60 percent of cities, with the vast majority of jobs in many of the world's emerging economies considered to be informal.
Understanding informal cities, and the millions of lives lived within them, is fundamental to meeting the SDGs. Yet the diverse and dynamic nature of informal cities creates a huge challenge for large-scale data collection and analysis.
More recently, several innovative solutions for efficient and scalable collection of environmental, behavioural and other data have been reported, but to extract meaningful information from them requires collaboration across several scientific disciplines, with the active engagement of non-academic stakeholders.
We will select a sample of diverse cities (one from India, one from Africa and one from Latin America) and will investigate the types of data available, their timeliness, comprehensiveness and depth for each city. With a focus on informal systems, we will collect and harmonize existing data sources, including administrative data, regional surveys, geospatial data, satellite imagery and mobile data. We will draw on expertise in anthropology, geography, mathematics and epidemiology to find new ways to study informal neighbourhoods, economies, healthcare and transport in cities.
We will collect data relating to several SDGs - including but not limited to health, gender equality, economic growth, infrastructure and inequality - and harmonise them to enable comprehensive study of the interconnections between various forms of provision in the informal city: housing, employment, transport and healthcare. With the 'data gap' on informal cities bridged, we will search for both scalable and specific solutions to delivery of SDGs in informal city systems.

Malami's Memo on Magu Exposes the Hypocrisy In Buhari's Government, Says PDP
Calls on NASS to Institute Joint Ad-hoc Committee to Investigate Allegations.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the memo by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, indicting the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, of a financial scam, has further exposed the abysmal corruption, deception, and hypocrisy that pervade the Buhari administration.
The party asserts that it is the worst national embarrassment in the history of Nigeria, that the head of the anti-corruption agency in an administration that prides itself on zero tolerance for corruption, is being dragged on allegation of diversion of recovered funds and fraudulent sale of assets seized by the agency.

Malami's memo has also exposed the credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari's anti-corruption architecture, rubbished his standing as Africa Union (AU) Anti-Corruption Champion, and shattered our national integrity in the international arena.
The world can now see that the much-hyped anti-corruption fight of the Buhari administration, has been nothing but a huge fraud and a racket by certain persons in the APC administration to harass political opponents, intimidate and extort money from innocent Nigerians and steal public funds.
Nigerians and the world have further seen why corruption has worsened under the Buhari administration, as copiously documented by credible international organizations, including Transparency International (TI).
Indeed, our party, Nigerians across the board and, of course, members of the international community, have completely lost confidence in President Buhari's capacity to fight corruption as he has not demonstrated the littlest effort against corruption since he came into office in 2015.
Instead, Mr. President had continued to run a system that condones corrupt practices by officials of his administration while providing cover for individuals indicted for corruption including those who are now serving as cabinet ministers and other federal appointees in his government.
The PDP recalled that President Buhari had insisted on Magu as the EFCC Chairman despite his rejection by the Senate over reports by the Department of State Services (DSS), which raised certain integrity issues against him.
The party further recalled that the DSS report, which was read out on the floor of the Senate, allegedly stated that "Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption stand of the current government".
Our party, therefore, holds the latest report coming from none other than the Attorney General of the Federation; the EFCC's supervising minister, who believably has unhindered access to facts and documents related to the anti-graft issues, must be received by President Buhari as a huge demand on him to clean up the system.
Moreover, following the allegation of diversion of recovered funds coming from the nation's Attorney General, the EFCC Chairman has lost all moral rectitude to preside over our nation's anti-corruption agency to investigate and prosecute others until he comes clean of these horrible allegations.
However, given this administration's history of concealments and cover for indicted officials, our party enjoins the National Assembly to immediately constitute a joint ad-hoc committee and commence an independent investigation into these alleged disgraceful acts which has the potencies of collapsing our nation's integrity before the comity of nations.
Our party also calls on Mr. Magu to immediately step aside and submit himself for an independent investigation in order to clear his name.

Q: JavaScript redirect just before submitting form and opening new tab I have a situation where I need to open a new tab to an external site when the user clicks "submit" on a form, and at the same time I need to redirect the original tab to a different page to prevent the user making multiple duplicate requests to the external site.
NOTE: I have protected against this behaviour in the back-end, I just want to use JavaScript to improve the UX where possible, removing the rendering of the option in the first place.
NOTE2: This works in Firefox, but not in Chrome or Safari.
Some example code which illustrates my issue is shown below:

        <title>JS Redirect Then Post Test</title>

            <form action="" method="POST" target="_blank">
                First name: <input type="text" name="firstname">

                Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">

                <input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="testFunction()">
            </form>

When I click submit, I observe the alert popping up, but the redirect does not execute.
If I uncomment the line which calls testFunction() directly, it works as expected.
How can I get the behaviour I'm looking for?

A: This is what I managed to come up with after a bit of tinkering around. You can pass the click event from onclick into your handler function. If you let the event happen, it will just submit the form and prevent all following execution, that is why I stopped the original click event with preventDefault and triggered form.submit() programmatically.
Also notice how I wrapped the redirect inside a setTimeout to give time to the submit() to actually happen before the redirect.

    <title>JS Redirect Then Post Test</title>

    <form action="" method="POST" target="_blank">
        First name: <input type="text" name="firstname">
 Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">

        <input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="testFunction(event)">
    </form>

The autumn budget saw the chancellor lift the HRA cap by £1bn. Chris Buss argues central government needs to get over the idea that all local government debt is bad and offer a hike in the cap that would help councils tackle the need for housing.
After my last article some nine months ago, working full time was not a thought that had entered my brain and working as a director of finance in another neighbouring borough was not even in my thought pattern. Less than six months later the Grenfell fire had somehow meant that I was back in work, in perhaps the most difficult and complex situation I have had to deal with in a very long career in local government.
However, I don't want to talk about Grenfell now, or the government's response in the budget to that tragedy, but instead to concentrate on the government response to housing in general and in particular the role of local councils in the direct provision of low-cost rental or social housing or, as I prefer to call it, council housing.
I make no apologies for that, because of my age and background, I am a fan of council housing as it existed prior to 1977, when it was regarded as a step up in the housing hierarchy from the private sector rental market; when, believe it or not, you aspired to get out of private housing with no central heating and no bath to a council flat with both.
Council housing was, back then, aspirational. Unfortunately, this has changed over the past 40 years with successive governments of all parties making council housing, and in particular the building of new council housing, almost a dirty phrase, forgetting that back in my childhood council's with government support were largely responsible for the provision of more than 300,000 new houses a year, in some years, in the 1950s and 60s.
However, are we about to see a renaissance in council house building? Sadly, I think not. In the budget the chancellor said that he would raise the ceiling on what is one of the main restrictions on letting council's build new council housing, the housing revenue account (HRA) borrowing cap.
The increase in the cap appears to be a "big number", £1bn pounds, but in reality is it such a big deal? We will be lucky if the increased cap funds as many as 10,000 homes in total spread over a few years; in reality a drop in the ocean compared to the 300,000 required, or targeted, each year. An empty gesture.
The reality is that an increase of perhaps 10 times that phased in over five years would enable councils to make a real difference to building lower cost rental units without subsidy. Over time, in the HRA, they would both pay for themselves and reduce the benefits bill in a far more cost effective and sustainable manner than the arbitrary policy of reducing rents by 1%, which has cut local government's ability to invest and done very little to the cost of benefits.
But, these normal rules don't seem to apply to the public sector anymore, at least in terms of council housing. There seems to be no way of differentiating between good debt, i.e., funding assets to reduce current spend, compared to bad debt that is funding current expenditure (something a council can't legally do, but central government does with abandon).
The offer of a £1bn headroom is a gesture, though I hope it's a toe in the water, hinting at a return to the days when councils were able to provide quality housing and were not reliant on the largesse of developers who, in the current era, provide social housing effectively as a price for receiving permission to build housing for sale.
Unfortunately, I don't think it is, it's a gesture towards what could happen rather than an incentive to get councils building.
The government says that it wants to fix the broken housing market, perhaps they need to look back to times when the market was less broken (because in all honesty its never been perfect) and look at giving councils a greater ability to build by coming up with a realistic increase in the debt cap, rather than the £1bn gesture.
Many local councils are willing to take up this challenge but are hamstrung by an arbitrary debt cap and a notion that all debt is equal, and all debt is bad. That is a wrong notion. It's an arbitrary notion that doesn't evenly apply across council spending, in that general fund capital spending from borrowing is not arbitrarily capped but is judged on its local affordability. Surely, the same should apply to the HRA.
So, Mr Hammond, to paraphrase the words of Del Trotter, we may not be millionaires but also don't be a plonker, next year be bold, be brave and give councils the ability to fund what many in their communities are asking for: good quality council housing for those who are both in work and not. You really know it makes sense.

Home > VMI Winners Circle
VMI Winners Circle
Welcome to VMI's winners circle! A place to get to know our previous contest winners and learn their stories. We love the work we do because we get to see firsthand the positive impact our mobility solutions have on the lives of our customers. Together with these lucky winners, we imagined possibilities and realized them.
Driving Forward Together Sweepstake Winner:
– The Fritz Family, Mount Dora, FL
We're excited to congratulate the lucky winners of a VMI conversion in our Driving Forward Together sweepstake that ended May 30, 2019! Mike Fritz entered the sweepstakes on the very first day and his wife, Sandra, was sure they wouldn't win – and that the entry would just solicit unwanted phone calls. They did need a new wheelchair accessible vehicle, though, as their old one was beginning to be unreliable. Sandra uses a scooter part time and their daughter, Mackenzie, uses a wheelchair, so accessible transportation is a necessity. When one of our Customer Advocates called to tell the family they had won, she spoke with Sandra, who was emotional at the news. She said that Mike has always worked so hard to take care of the family and that a new van would make his life so much easier.
After reviewing different vehicle options, the Fritz Family decided to go with a Dodge Grand Caravan Verge II, rear entry. We wish them happy journeys and exciting adventures in their new mobility vehicle!
Claim Your Space $10,000 Sweepstake Winner:
– Jonathan Kaps, Peoria, IL
Jonathan is in the process of working with his local mobility dealer to use his sweepstake prize toward the purchase of a new VMI accessible vehicle. After months of searching for the perfect vehicle for his family, he has zeroed in on a Chrysler Pacifica Limited. The Claim Your Space sweepstake prize has brought Jonathan closer to making a new VMI Chrysler Pacifica a reality for his family. He's excited to take advantage of all the comfort and safety features that a VMI Chrysler Pacifica has to offer!
Stay tuned for updates when we capture a photo of Jonathan and his family when he takes delivery of his new VMI Pacifica!
Claim Your Space $500 Bonus Sweepstake Winner:
– Lois Lucas , Waukesha, WI
Lois is a proud new owner of a VMI Honda Pilot! After driving a second-hand Montana equipped with a lift, Lois and family decided to retire their vehicle and upgrade to something new that is NOT a minivan. Lois entered VMI's $500 bonus sweepstake simply by sharing her experience from visiting her local mobility dealer, GT Mobility in Wisconsin. In addition to her genuine affinity for her mobility consultant, Rob Delano, Lois' review was even more amazing because she didn't even know that she was in the running for the bonus sweepstake drawing!
Pilot Your Life Contest Winners
We received many customer story submissions about how a mobility vehicle like the VMI Honda Pilot could help our customers pilot their lives in new and exciting ways. From those submissions, nine finalists were chosen. Three stories with the most votes won a $2,500 AMEX gift card! Here are the three winners.
Amelia & Pedro
James & Sophie
Take It For A Spin Sweepstakes Winner
– Bobbie Mobley
Bobbie of Lexington, KY was selected the winner of the VMI's Take It For A Spin Sweepstake. She was the lucky winner randomly selected from the thousands of entries VMI received from across the country. As the winner she received $12,000 towards the purchase of her VMI Dodge Caravan with a Northstar E conversion. Bobbie's church and community also showed strong support and generously helped her and her son achieve their dream of owning a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
Claim More Space National Sweepstakes Winner
– Michael Gallagher
Michael Gallagher of Wellington, CO. was selected as the winner of the company's Claim More Space Sweepstakes, in which there were more than 7,000 entries nationwide. He received a check for $10,000 and a year's supply of gasoline valued at another $1,000.
Claim Your Space National Sweepstakes Winner
– Martha Dominguez
Martha Dominguez of Albuquerque, NM is the winner of the 2016 Claim Your Space National Sweepstakes. Dominguez's youngest son, Miguel Perez, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age 2. He is now 16. Dominguez was awarded $10,000 toward her VMI Northstar™ in-floor, side-entry conversion for her 2015 Toyota Sienna. In response to winning, Dominguez remarked, "This van conversion changes a person's life completely…It is so much easier getting where you need to go when you have access to a van like this."
Dare To Compare Challenge Winner
– Denise Cody
Congratulations to the winner of VMI's 2016 Dare to Compare Challenge, Denise Cody! Cody was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy as a young teenager and was told she only live for a few more years. Cody said she walked out of that doctor's appointment and kept on going. 40 years later, she has had a full and active life, raising an adopted son and working full-time. She says her new VMI Summit Conversion will provide her the independence she needs to be herself again.
NMEDA Winner
– John Rose
The winner of the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) Local Heroes contest is Miami, FL based John Rose. John has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or what is more commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. After his diagnosis, John — a choir director who lost the ability to conduct with his arms — continued his love of both music and teaching by founding a non-profit summer camp where children learn all aspects of the arts. American Honda Motor Co. generously donated a new Odyssey minivan and Vantage Mobility happily added the wheelchair conversion; the vehicle was awarded to John so that he and his wife can fulfill their desire to travel.
– The Gomez Family
The winners of VMI's 2015 Dare to Compare Challenge are Angel Gomez-Perez and his family! Angel and his wife Desiree care for their five-year-old daughter, Maya, who was born with cerebral palsy. Gomez, who entered the contest soon after buying a van with a VMI Northstar E conversion, won the value of his conversion as part of the Dare to Compare Challenge. "We had a tough time before this van," he said. "I cannot begin to tell you how many ways this van has improved our daily lives."
– Cynthia Noonan
Congratulations to Cynthia Noonan, who was chosen as a Local Heroes Winner for the 2015 the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) National Mobility Awareness Month. In 2007, Cynthia was affected by the onset of Transverse Myelitis, a rare autoimmune disease that made her a C5 quadriplegic. She is making a difference in her local community by creating wonderful activities for people with all types of physical disabilities.

Pterostemonaceae (Engl.) Small is a small family of shrubs native to tropical and subtropical Mexico. The family was recognized by scientists working with the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group but is placed in the Grossulariaceae by other taxonomic systems. The APG II system recognized the family as containing a single genus, Pterostemon. The APG III system of 2009, and later versions, do not recognize this family and place Pterostemon within the Iteaceae in the order Saxifragales.

More than 100 students are involved with the ROTC detachment.
Uniforms and books for ROTC classes are provided at no cost.
ROTC at ASU is one of the largest programs of its kind in Texas and has earned several awards, including the Air Force Organizational Excellence Award and the "High Flight" Award for top units in the nation.
Students are encouraged to become involved with the department's student organizations: Arnold Air Society (AAS), Silver Wings and the Ram Guard.
ASU's Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Detachment 847 offers leadership training, and its graduates are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force, where they begin careers with competitive wages and benefits, including health insurance.
AFROTC cadets can choose any major available at ASU. ROTC classes can be counted as electives, and nine semester credit hours of your Professional Officer Course (junior- and senior-level) classes can also count as half a minor. Cadets devote an average of five to six hours a week to the program through aerospace studies classes, physical fitness drills and leadership labs.
There is no military obligation during the first two years of the program unless students are recipients of a National Air Force Scholarship. Students who choose to leave the program still receive academic credit for courses completed. A four-year military obligation is in place for those who complete the program (with additional obligation for pilots and navigators after flight training).

Evidence for effectiveness
mental health guru has been evaluated in a randomised controlled trial, which showed use of the program improved employee knowledge and decreased employee stigma about depression and anxiety, and these effects were sustained after six months.

What is MH-Guru?
Mental Health Guru (MH-Guru) is an online training program designed for use by all employees within a workplace. The program has a depression module and an anxiety module. MH-Guru is designed to improve employee awareness and encourage help seeking for these and other mental health issues.
Each module takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and are comprised of:
information about each mental health condition
interactive exercises and myth busting
personal stories and videos
information to assist you to take care of your own or a co-worker's mental wellbeing
information about how to access help, including Employee Assistance Programs
information for supervisors/managers about how to support employees with mental health issues, including legal obligations.
After completing the program, staff should have:
knowledge about mental health issues
skills to identify possible mental health problems
an understanding of how to respond appropriately to colleagues who might be suffering from a mental health problem
knowledge about how to access evidence-based help resources
decreased stigmatising attitudes
Who is MH-Guru for?
MH-Guru is intended for all employees within an organisation, from the most senior managers to junior and new staff.
Does MH-Guru work?
Yes. A pilot study of the MH-Guru program within an Australian organisation showed that employees who accessed MH-Guru improved their knowledge, exhibited less stigma, and increased their intentions to seek help for depression and anxiety. These outcomes are likely to translate into less suffering for the employee, and increased productivity and reduced absenteeism.
More recently these findings have been confirmed in a 'gold standard' randomised controlled trial of the program in a different Australian organisation. You can access the research paper here: KM Griffiths, et al. Effectiveness of MH-Guru, a brief online mental health program for the workplace: A randomised controlled trial. Internet Interventions 2016; 6: 29-39.
Who is behind the MH-Guru program?
MH-Guru was originally developed and evaluated over four years by researchers at the Australian National University. The research and development team was led by Professor Kathy Griffiths, an internationally recognised leader in e-mental health and stigma research.
The development and delivery of MH-Guru is now undertaken by e-hub Health – an ANU spin-off company managed by the senior members of the original team. e-hub Health is committed to the ongoing development of quality resources which make a measurable impact in the wellbeing of users.
Is the MH-Guru website content accessible?
Yes. e-hub Health commissioned me2 accessibility to conduct an Accessibility Audit on the MH-Guru website. On 7 February 2020 me2 accessibility certified that the MH-Guru website satisfied all Level A and AA Success Criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 specification.

@Tristan: I'm likely mistaken, but it appears to be the back story for one of the MS2 bosses - Gryphon.
Awh this is pretty sad ;~; It seems as if they're village was raided by some other griffin or something and his dad or big brother (not sure) got killed and he vowed to get stronger..?
In a peaceful town lived a gryphon and his family. But then one day... the One-Eyed villain came. Only the parent gryphon fought against it. The one-eyed villain burned down the peaceful village. The little gryphon kid was the only survivor. He vowed revenge for his family and the villagers. The world for a young gryphon is too arduous and scary.
The story continues as CBT comes.
To be honest, I was expecting the gryphon to become evil from his need for revenge (from the looks of those images).
If I were to translate it less-literally, I could see the last bit implying that the cruel world changed the gryphon into a revenge-seeking monster.
@Simnel I was wondering if this is as close to accurate (and grammatically correct) as you can get it. I plan on making a translated version of it with Photoshop.
@Tristan If I were better at translating, it could probably be improved. Also, there are cultural things (like feminine/masculine usages of the word "parent" ) that I do not understand. That's about as good as I can get it. I don't generally try to translate things, but this comic intrigued me.
Also, I don't understand what the "One-eyed villain" is supposed to mean. It could be another cultural thing that I don't understand.
Aw this is sad... But I can't wait to see how this plays out in CBT!
P.S. "orangemushroom.net" has an English translation of this in its "CBT Preview" article.
Orrador, if you ever need someone to PQ with in this upcoming patch, I'm sure some members of Simplicity will be glad to help again!
@Captain we'll see it soon enough B!
@orrador I believe a few guild members have already added you, but definitely will do!

Maternity leave is officially over for Anna Lunoe; not that she ever really left anyway, as she kept up a full touring schedule while pregnant. Now, Anna returns with his first single since giving birth to her daughter, "Blaze of Glory." The new song represents a marked departure from Anna's underground house style, as she embraces a more pop-oriented style on the track. Anna creates a bouncy, uplifting, dance-able tune, accompanied by a fun, but simple video. Anna and two of her friends are just having a great time, each wearing a bright pastel sweater.
This song was also a major milestone as she struggled with knowing what her music career would be like with a child along the way. Thankfully for all of us, Anna has returned and is more ready than ever to produce new tracks.
Check out the video for "Blaze of Glory" below.
Grab your tickets to see Anna at Drai's Beach Club in Vegas this month before she hits the festival circuit this summer. Summer highlights include Electric Forest, Camp Bisco, Tomorrowland, and Veld Festival.

Armed police stormed flat after drunken hoax 999 call
'Attacker' drank 30 cans of booze before wasting police time with a false claim
Catherine Lillington
Denise Clark outside Birmingham Magistrates' Court
Armed police stormed a Birmingham woman's flat when she rang 999 to falsely claim she had stabbed her boyfriend - after she had downed THIRTY cans of booze.
But officers discovered 'paralytic' Denise Clark, 23, unconscious and her partner unhurt.
Unemployed Clark has five previous offences for wasting police time, but has now vowed to stop drinking heavily after her latest court appearance.
Birmingham magistrates heard armed police forced their way into her Slade Road flat, Erdington, after she rang 999 to claim she had stabbed her boyfriend in the stomach with a bottle.
Cops and paramedics found Clark unconscious and her boyfriend – who knew nothing about the stunt – was discovered safe and well elsewhere.
Clark pleaded guilty to wasting police time and was given a four-month community order and a curfew.
Georgina Ellis, defending, had said her client had drunk up to 30 cans of alcohol on the day of the hoax call.
She said: "She says that she wants help and she needs help and she knows that the drinking has to stop."
Speaking outside court, Clark said: "I feel a bit embarrassed about it.
''Because I was paralytic I couldn't remember what happened. I knew I was on the phone to someone but couldn't remember who it was.
"One minute I was wide awake, the next I fell asleep, then all I heard was the police shouting and I thought 'what's going on here?'
"Hopefully, I'll be able to sort things out with him [my boyfriend]. I was too intoxicated to think about what was going through my head."
Ironically, out-of-work Clark said she had always wanted to be a police officer.
"That's down the pan already," she said.
But she vowed she would now be cutting back on the booze, adding: "I keep drinking too much, it's got to end."

Tokoliana (2021)
We are devouring each other. (Lingala)
12 mins/ Dance + Art Installation
"Tokoliana" is a contemporary African dance work inspired by the Congolese experimental music group KOKOKO!'s song "Tokoliana" meaning "we are devouring each other" in Lingala. This song is a reference to the daily struggle and greed that has engulfed the country. Their powerful message is met with an upbeat track that also captures the hope and optimism of the people. Taking the lead from KOKOKO!, this dance work uses upbeat tracks combined with vigorous African-inspired dancing to juxtapose the bluntly spoken text concerning the harsh truths of America. This work aims to capture the hope and ancestral connection infused in the Black community.
This art installation aims to grasp the spiritual energy connected to Black people. Each structure is made from gold rings- gold being a prestigious metal signifying wealth and luxury. There are three different-sized rings to represent the divine trinity. The rings, adorned with green, yellow, and red flowers along with black African masks, represent the colors of the Pan-African or Black Liberation flag. The selected colors truly capture the make-up of the Black community: red for the violence/ sacrifice, yellow for the optimism/ rebirth, green for the spiritual growth, and black for our skin. These colors are represented through flowers as a way to give homage to our ancestors.

Peace, Love, and Dance (2021)
25 mins/ Film/Dance
Peace, Love, and Dance is a dance on film work influenced by self-described Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet - Audre Lorde and her writings on creatively using our differences to bring change. The work explores her idea of there not being a hierarchy of oppression and asks the question of "How do we find equity, justice, and liberation on race and gender issues that have been plaguing our world for centuries?" Through research and collaboration, Peace, Love, and Dance explores the possibilities to the posed question through acknowledgment of the past, understanding the depth of one's identity, and more. This work is an ongoing conversation and process.
