Natural and man made disasters can force offices full of workers to evacuate. In big cities, a disaster may also affect public transportation, leading you to find an alternate route home or away from the disaster. In an emergency, you may be on your own and will have to improvise. Create an Urban Emergency Evacuation Kit and store it at work in the event of an emergency to keep you safe and prepared.
Choose the right bag. Use a large, canvas, water resistant backpack with several compartments and padded shoulder straps. A waist strap will help distribute weight and make the bag easier to carry long distances. Since you won't use this daily, you can buy an inexpensive one from a discount store, military surplus store, dollar store, or even from a local thrift store. Think function over fashion.
Add a luggage tag with your name and contact information to your bag. If possible, add some form of identification inside your bag such as an old employee ID. You may have left behind your handbag.
Pack enough food and water. Water is heavy to carry but you will need to have plenty available. You'll also need high calorie snacks. Keep at least one sealed bottle of water in your bag and pack more if you can stand the weight. Make sure it's in a durable container so you can refill it and close it easily.
Pack granola bars, S.O.S. bars, or protein bars that are high in calories and carbohydrates and store well long term. Food is not only necessary for energy, it can be great for morale. Dried fruit is also an excellent option.
Peanut butter (assuming you're not allergic to peanuts) comes in handy tubes, is an excellent source of protein, and does not require refrigeration or cooking.
Pack reflective tape. Blackouts have shut down many cities, forcing people to walk miles. Cell service can be spotty or nonexistent. Subways can be down and vehicles backed up because of non-working traffic lights. Think ahead! Make a plan! Visit a fabric or athletic store or look online for reflective tape. Buy 1–3 yards (0.9–2.7 m) as you will add it to your backpack and other items if necessary. It's usually sold in rolls and is 1" wide or wider.
Add the reflective tape to the exterior of your backpack. Use fabric glue to attach it if you don't sew.
Attach the reflective tape to the back of the bag and the front straps.
Be generous with the tape. It may make you visible to drivers or emergency workers.
Pack a compact raincoat or poncho. Choose a coat or poncho made of brightly-colored material, such as yellow, so you'll stand out more. This can protect you from the elements on a long walk, provide shelter, and, when covered in the reflective tape, make you stand out to drivers and other people. You should add reflective tape to your raincoat since wearing it may cover the tape on your backpack.
Pack the folded poncho in your backpack. If it doesn't fold into itself (as many do), you can compress it into a small bag to keep it out of your way.
Pack a space blanket. You can buy Mylar sheets (so-called space blankets) at hardware or camping supply stores. They are large, lightweight, waterproof and exceptionally thin. They come tightly packed, about the size of an ace bandage, and should be left in their original packaging until you need to use them because they're pretty tricky to refold once you reopen them. Because Mylar reflects heat, it can be used to retain body heat in extreme cold or to reflect away heat in extremely hot conditions.
Pack a whistle. A whistle will make more noise with less effort than yelling if you become trapped. The higher pitch will also carry better than your voice.
Pack a pair of athletic shoes. In case of an emergency, you may have to run or walk long distances in unpredictable conditions. You don't want to do that in heels or stiff leather work shoes. Your safety may depend on moving quickly and traveling efficiently on foot. Athletic shoes are an absolute must in every person's grab-and-go work kit. Don't use a new pair, as these can cause blisters; pack a pair that is broken in but not worn out, if possible. Even a worn pair is better than wingtips or heels.
Many athletic shoes have reflective trims but you can add more. You should still have some tape left over from the poncho and backpack.
Pack socks. Pack cotton crew athletic socks that are appropriate for your athletic shoes in terms of thickness. Avoid low cut socks, as they don't protect your heels when walking long distances. Stuff the socks into the shoes so as to conserve space and keep your footgear together.
Women who wear skirts and dresses may benefit from packing knee high athletic socks to provide additional coverage for the legs.
Adhesive bandages: A few of each size will do. Pack mostly the 1" since they work well for blisters. Bandages that are foam instead of fabric offer more protection for blisters and can still be used for other first aid.
Epi-pen if you have been given one by your doctor for severe allergies. They're usually willing to write prescriptions for several so you can keep several available.
Prescription medication to last a day or two in a well-labeled container. If your medication changes, you need to update your kit. Be very specific when labeling describe the pill bottle, the dose, and what it treats. Don't forget an asthma inhaler if you are an asthmatic. You may be walking and air quality could be questionable.
An ace bandage, which is great for rolled ankles or can be used to immobilize a limb.
Washcloth or hand towel: can be used for clean up, wiping a sweaty brow or signaling.
Find a travel/trial size of saline solution (or contact lens wetting solution) and include it in your kit. Flushing eyes may be necessary for contact lens wearers or for anyone in dusty or polluted air. It can also be used to irrigate a wound.
Pack a small flashlight. Find at least a small or medium flashlight or headlight and make sure it has fresh batteries. Maglite type flashlights are extremely durable but heavier aluminum flashlights. The larger ones can be used as a defensive weapon should you need it. Decide if you can tolerate the weight and have room. You can go full size (D cell) if you have room and can stand the weight. You won't get a warning on a massive power outage or evacuation.
Look for a small to medium light that takes AA or C batteries. It depends on how much space you have, your needs and how much weight you can tolerate. Lightweight plastic flashlights are great. You don't need to spend a lot but make sure it works.
There are many newer, pocket-sized LED flashlights on the market that are less expensive (check discount), more durable (no bulbs to burn out or break), and produce more light per set of batteries.
Pack a map of your city. It should include streets and public transportation (subway stop) information. You may be forced to detour, disembark a train early, or take an alternate route -- finding yourself in unfamiliar territory. Always keep a map to find the best way to your destination. Getting lost can add insult to injury. Traffic patterns are often changed and you may find yourself walking through unknown areas. Keep a map with you of the city and note different routes to take out.
Pack a list of emergency contact numbers. Cell phone service may be down or your phone charge may not last. Consider keeping the numbers of friends or family near work, in between work and home, and someone who could pick you up and offer shelter. Keep the numbers stashed in your kit. Phone traffic may be heavy and connections hard to come by, so don't rely on calling information first. Your memory of numbers may also be strained in a stressful situation, so keep things written down.
Pack a face mask. You can get one from your local hardware or paint store and add it to your kit. They only cost a few dollars. If you need one, you really need one. Smoke and debris can be choking during a fire or earthquake. A particle mask can be very helpful.
Pack a portable charging unit for your phone. There are solar and wind-up chargers available. Others often use a few small batteries and convert the power to give your phone a small charge. Check travel sites, mobile phone supply stores, or airport kiosks.
Pack some cash -- but not too much. Stash cash for public phones, food vending, or any thing else that could come up. Don't keep too much, just a few dollars and quarters. You can often hide it under the sturdy cardboard bottom. You can use this for transportation or to buy food or drink. Don't forget to include several quarters should you need to use a public phone and be able to find one.
Pack a small pack of tissues and moist wipes. It may provide dual use in case the restroom facilities lack proper supplies. Think of the different things you may encounter on the way home. Every city and its facilities are different.
Add an all-purpose pocket tool or Swiss Army knife. Multipurpose tools are available at most sporting goods or camping stores. The one shown here has pliers, which can be very handy. There are too many ways to use one of these to begin to list them all.
Pack a small radio. Many local radio stations switch to emergency programming during an emergency. Look for a small, battery operated FM transistor radio for your bag. These can be found in discount stores or electronic stores for minimal investment. All local radio stations will begin emergency broadcasting if there is an emergency in your area. Make sure it has fresh batteries and is turned off before adding it to your bag.
Tape an extra house key into the bottom of the bag underneath the cardboard bottom. If you leave a house key, don't add anything to identify it as such. Even better, hang a combination lockbox from your home door (if allowed;) with a spare key in it. These are $30 at a hardware store and also come in handy anytime you or a family member accidentally lock yourself out or if you need to call a neighbor to enter your home when you are away, and you won't need to risk losing a spare stored elsewhere.
An additional advantage is that if you don't carry a spare key in your emergency kit, you can put your address on a luggage/ID tag attached to it. A spare car key could also be helpful depending on your situation (or in a magnetic wheel-well box - these really work!).
Resist the urge to tap into your bag for water, snacks, or band-aids. Keep the kit intact and only open it to check medication expiration dates, check or replace batteries or replace dated food.
Pack your bag and store it in a locker, under your desk, in a filing cabinet nearby, or somewhere else it can be grabbed in a hurry. If in doubt, grab it. Everything you need will fit easily in a backpack. If you live in colder climates you can add additional supplies or change your pack for the seasons.
Take it for fire drills and other alarms. Keep it handy when news has reached you of an emergency in your city.
You may not realize you are in an evacuation situation until you've been separated from your kit.
In large cities, earthquake or tornado prone areas, and large office buildings, it is wise to be a little paranoid.
Renew your kit regularly. Set a reminder on your phone or computer to check your bag every few months. You might want to check twice a year (perhaps when you replace your smoke detector batteries or set clocks forward or back for daylight savings time), use family birthdays as reminders, or set the reminders on your desktop calendar. At least check once a year on a reminder date.
Check the perishables (batteries, food, and first aid items) for expiration, leaking, or borrowing. Verify that maps and phone numbers are all up-to-date. Check for brittle gloves, missing items, operation electronics, and anything else that could go wrong that you wouldn't want to face in an emergency.
Send an email to your home computer with a list of items you'll need to restock it, or print your list. You may not remember once you leave the office.
Evaluate where you work and how far you live from work. Don't think of it in regular transportation terms. Ask yourself what you would do if you had to get home without the use of a car or public transportation during an emergency. What would you have to wear to get home from work on foot, and how long would it take?
Make a family emergency plan. Discuss with your family what you may do in an emergency if they can't reach you by cell phone. Discuss your options and what scenarios would be practical. Knowing what your actions may be will enable them to assist even if you can't communicate during the emergency.
If your family hears of an emergency, they may be able to pick up your kids, meet you at a meeting place, or be ready to spring into action when they get your call, text, or third-party message. Have a family action plan.
Create a buddy system with a coworker. Coordinate with your co-workers and exchange ideas for creating individual jump-and-run bags ideal for your situation, urban area, and workplace.
If you work with someone who also lives near you, discuss in advance and plan on using the buddy system to get home together.
Have them pack a bag so you each have supplies.
Talk to management about turning kit-making into an office social or emergency planning exercise. Get permission for everyone to bring their items, pack them as a team, and make a store trip for forgotten supplies.
Keep batteries in store packaging as placing batteries in devices allows them to slowly discharge. Have scissors or your multi-purpose or Swiss army knife to cut open the package or store batteries in a marked plastic bag.
Consider adding a pair of safety glasses to your kit. These can be especially helpful to prevent foreign matter, dust, blood or other irritants from your eyes. These can be purchased at some drug stores, safety supply, construction supply or medical supply stores. You can also find them online. They are inexpensive and many can be placed over everyday glasses.
Laptops, expensive jewelry and furs could make you a target for robbery. Consider leaving what you can at work and traveling with less ostentatious looking items.
Lip balm and sunscreen are also extremely handy to have.
If you work in flood prone areas or areas known for drainage issues, you should keep a pair of appropriate waterproof footwear.
Reverse the batteries or use another method to prevent the flashlight and radio from coming on when not in use. You don't want to rustle the bag and unknowingly turn on the item and drain the battery.
If you are packing multiple battery powered devices, try to choose ones that use the same type of battery. You can then pack an extra set that works for both and will be able to trade off in the devices.
Try adding a piece of duct tape or medical tape to the on/off switches of flashlights and batteries. You don't want to accidentally rustle the bag under your desk and turn the item on. You'll have dead batteries when you need them.
If you live in a hot weather climate where exposure and heat could be harmful you should think of packing a lightweight shirt, shorts, a hat and additional water.
Consider making it a staff team building exercise. Do this instead of an ice cream social or happy hour.
With Blackberry, iPhone and smart PDA's you will have accessibility and mobility and can safely leave the office without hauling laptops.
A mechanical pencil, a notepad and a book of matches or lighter would be smart additions to the kit.
Buy a metro card or public transit pass and keep it stashed in your bag. If you get to a station that's operational you can skip the ticket counter or not have to worry about finding cash or exact change.
If you live in a severely cold climate area, you could also add a pair of sweatpants, hats, thermal underwear or other cooler weather wear. Something super warm may be needed instead of fashionable to and from work wear. You could pack a larger pack.
Keep the bag in your locker or under your desk. Don't keep it in an underground parking garage as you may not have time or the access to retrieve it. If you can, stock an extra kit more appropriate for your car.
Managers, if there's extra money in the budget consider giving your team items to enhance their bag. Encourage kit refreshing and reward your team with gift cards to discount stores, flashlights, first aid kits or even just cater snacks while they are putting their kits together.
When coordinating with co-workers see if anyone has extra items at home they can contribute to a community box for your kit making day. Someone in your office may have kids and plenty of used backpacks, an extra poncho or even some extra batteries or band aids. It adds up.
Think about your climate and add to your kit to allow you to travel more comfortably in areas with severe and possibly dangerous temperatures.
If you have a slightly larger backpack, you may have room to stash your handbag or a wallet inside. Don't concern yourself with briefcases and laptops, just get what you need to survive on the streets for hours. For the NYC blackouts many were attempting to travel with books, files, briefcases and non-essentials. They were throwing these away or asking strangers and business to hold the items with some success.
You may not need to buy everything at once. You can probably borrow from your home medicine cabinet and toolbox to get started. Instead of buying full sized products you should visit the travel size section in your local drug or department store for other items. The packaging will be small and easy to pack.
Always make sure you have latex or vinyl gloves in your kit. Blood born pathogens are very real and not everyone is upfront or knows about infections or health problems. You may also encounter injured people or need to treat someone with your first aid kit. Don't forget to wear your gloves. The gloves can also be handy if you must treat yourself and have dirty hands. It will help keep the first aid process cleaner and reduce your risk of infection.
Reversing batteries can damage some L.E.D. flashlights. Use another method to prevent accidental activation of L.E.D. lights.
You may be tempted to add mace, a stun gun or other weapon to your bag. Use caution since it may be against company policy to keep such items at work.
Audible/Personal alarms work very well to scare a possible attacker.

"I Will Slice Open My Head for You": David Foster Wallace on Nonfiction, 1998, Part 4
By Tom Scocca
Nov 28, 201012:24 PM
Q:So what did you think of Good Will Hunting?
DFW:Aaah. I think it's the ultimate nerd fantasy movie. I think it's a bit of afairy tale, but I enjoyed it a lot, and Minnie Driver is really to fallsideways for.
Andthere's all kinds of cool stuff. It's actually a movie that's got calculus in it,you know. Takes place in Boston. There's all kinds of—one guy I talked to whosaw it described it as a cross between Ordinary People and The Computer WoreTennis Shoes, which I thought was kind of funny. And if you see it, you'll see,that's not un-germane. [Chuckles.]
Doyou remember that movie? Are you old enough to remember The Computer WoreTennis Shoes?
Q:The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes? No.
DFW:It's got Kurt Russell. There's an electrical accident. In the computer room,when he's this student in some college. It's like, you know, the old sci-fi,you know, toxic-accident-turns-him-into-Spider-Man thing. So he gets shocked,and these are great old computers with like reel-to-reel tapes running back andforth. And it apparently injects him with every bit of data known to man. Andhe goes on College Bowl. it's got Joe Flynn. It's got a lot of people. Youshould check it out. Disney. I think um '69, '70.
Q:Yep, that was before my time.
DFW:Yeah, well, the miracle of videotape.
Q:Yes. The Phoenix reviewer who handled A Supposedly Fun Thing wrote that yourstyle "distills the contemporary speech of under-40, middle-classAmericans. The way Wallace writes is the way I'll remember having spoken."And you've been hailed in a lot of places in a generational spokesman.
DFW:Hailed?
Q:Hailed? Sure. Or "described." How do you feel about that role?
DFW:I, eh, I don't know. I can remember being on some, doing some radio thing inBoston a couple years ago, and somebody calling in and asking me about beingthe spokesman for, like, Generation X. Which I think I'm a little too old tobe, anyway. But the whole thing just seems absurd, because sort of the— How oldare you?
Q:Uh, 26.
DFW:Oh, OK, so much more for you. I mean, I'm 35, and I think for the generationthat starts with me or a couple years younger, the whole defining thing is thatthere can be no spokesman. It's completely atomized, and there's nothing like akind of unified consciousness the way there was, I don't know, in the '60s, oreven during that kind of conservative spasm in the '80s.
Andso the whole idea of a spokesman for a generation distinguished for the factthat it's anomic and atomized and alienated is just, is silly. I like stuffthat sounds intimate to me, and that sounds like almost there's somebodytalkin' in my ear. And I think at least some of the stuff that I do tries tosound out-loud, aural, you know, with an A-U. R-A-L. I mean, Jesus, you know,people were doing that and trying to do that 200 years ago. Like it's anythingvery new.
Q:How much art goes into creating the artless effect?
DFW:I don't understand what you mean by that?
Q:Trying to make it sound natural and to achieve the effect of—
DFW:I don't know. I think it's—the accurate answer is the vague one. Sometimes it'sfairly easy. And other times it isn't. I think a very interesting case of thisis Don DeLillo, who I think does the best dialogue like of anybody alive.
Andif you read DeLillo dialogue, it's funny, because it sounds very real and verynatural, but if you go back and look at it, it's really not. You know, it'skind of like, um, there will be a line where somebody says, "I'm onlysaying." And then there's the next line, so your eye's got to track overthe right space and then go down to the next line, and there's a much longerpause than in a real conversation, when, if you and I are having an argument,and I'd say, "I'm only sayin'—" and then you cut me off?
Q:Mm-hm.
DFW:I don't know it making any sense. So in a way, it really isn't, it isn'tnatural at all. And I think it's a very kind of affected, arty thing to do. Thetrick, though, is when the reader gets reading quickly, and there's kind ofthat brain voice starts? Like somebody talking to you? It ends up sounding verynatural. And that's something that seems to me to be very interesting.
Q:In your own stuff, the footnotes have a way of making the reader kind of breakstride, or have to leap around and backtrack, instead of just proceeding onthrough the works linearly. One thing about reading the footnote-intensivestuff of yours is that usually, I'm pretty good at, when I go back to a piece,finding something spatially on the page.
DFW:Uh-huh?
Q:Like I know it's on a left-hand page toward the bottom. But that doesn'thappen. Like I get lost in your stuff. How hard do you want the reader to haveto work?
DFW:You know what? To be honest with you, it's not something that I—I don't reallythink that way, and I don't think that way because I just don't, I don't wantto go down that path of trying to anticipate, like a chess player, everyreader's reaction.
Thefootnotes, the honest thing is, is the footnotes were an intentional,programmatic part of Infinite Jest, and they get to be kind of—you get sort ofaddicted to 'em. And for me, a lot of those pieces were written around the timethat I was typing and working on Infinite Jest, and so it's just, it's a kindof loopy way of thinking, that it seems to me is in some ways mimetic.
Idon't know you, but certainly the way I think about things and experiencethings is not particularly linear, and it's not orderly, and it's notpyramidical, and there are a lot of loops. Most of the nonfiction pieces arebasically, just, look, I'm not a great journalist, and I can't interview anybody,but what I can do is kind of, I will slice open my head for you. And let yousee a cross-section of just a kind of average, averagely bright person's headat this thing.
Andin a way, the footnotes, I think, are better representations of, not really stream-of-consciousness,but thought patterns and fact patterns. How exactly different readers readthem—I mean, I've talked to people who wait and read the footnotes at the end,or who do them absolutely the way they're numbered.
Ithink the only thing for me, the tricky thing with the footnotes, is that theyare an irritant, and they require a little extra work, and so they either haveto be really germane or they have to be kind of fun to read.
Itdoes get to be a problem, though, when I'm like, every single gag that occursto me I think I can toss into the thing, and toss it in as a footnote. And themost heavily cut thing in the book was the David Lynch essay. I mean, the bookeditor had me cut like a third of it, and a lot of it was just footnotes thatare just gags. And I think he has a good point.
Q:How much gag writing do you do? To what extent when you're doing these thingsdo you try to be deliberately humorous, and how much do comic effects just sortof arise from the thought processes?
DFW:I'll tell you. I think another reason why I'm not doing any more of these for awhile is, by the end, I think the last one I did was the Lynch thing, therereally was kind of a shtick emerging. And the shtick was somewhat neurotic,hyper-conscious guy, like, showing you how weird this thing is that noteverybody thinks is weird.
Ithink it's more that kind of trying to—trying to notice stuff that everybodyelse notices but they don't really notice that they notice? Which I think afair amount of good comedians do that, too. I don't think, I would never go,oh, it's time for a gag, and just stick in a gag or something.
Orif I did, it would end up getting cut. Because, you know, if it's justgratuitous, then the reader's going to throw the book at the wall.
I'mnot giving that a very clear answer. That's as close to the truth as I cancome.
Q:I mean, when you have something like the oil rigs "bobbingfellatially"—
DFW:Yeah, except that's exactly how they look. [Laughs]
Q:It is exactly how they look, but it also—that's funny enough to—
DFW:But that was another, that was a big fight, 'cause I originally had"fellatically," which I thought sounded better, it had more of aharsh, glottal, fellatiatory sound, and then the copy editor goes, there's nosuch word, we've got to say "fellatially," and I think that soundslike " palatially ," and I don't like it. I mean, 48 hours are spentthumb-wrestling over this bullshit.
Q:Yeah, no, that happens. You think that you've just sort of Shakespearianallycome up with a different word form—
DFW:Yes.
Q:—and then somewhere there's a copy editor who—
Q:—informs you that you've got it wrong.
DFW:Yes. I don't know where they—well, some of them are really good. But some ofthem are just anal. To the max.
NowI'm trying to figure out whether any of them are going to read this.

Q: Qt Creator (Designer): Single text line with horizontal scrollbar How do I get a single text line with only a horizontal scollbar?
I think that's all there is to this question.
I've tried it with QLineEdit only or withing QScrollArea, with QTextEdit etc, and nothing was remotly close to working properly.
That's what I got so far:

It total it reads "Textexample", but the QLineEdit cuts it off and the QScrollArea doesn't provide a functional horizontal scrollbar.
In the end I'd like to have a single text line, with a horizontal scrollbar so with the scrollbar I can see everything that's inside the text line.
Thanks in advance. If more information is need, I'd be happy to help.

A: See the fat properties of the QTextEdit:

Q: ViewModel modification makes existing list.phtml break I recently made a modification to catalog-category-view.xml and overrode category.products.list.
It seemed to work at the time, I had badges displaying on a rendered page.
Now the template file errors because $pos (line 42 in src file) returns null.
I have not changed anything about the template file except for the injection of a small php if statement and an additional docblock. Here is the error:
2021/01/08 17:15:14 [error] 1415#1415: *1053 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, null given in /var/www/html/magento-new/app/code/Vendor/Module/view/frontend/templates/product/list.phtml:97

Where to post if I want to give out review copies to new products/services?
Tried posting in the help section but can't for some reason, so if an admin sees this, please move it to the help section.
I haven't posted a WSO in ages, so I can't remember where the right place is to ask WF members for reviews in exchange for free copies.
I just want the reviews good to go when I post my WSO, and not post the WSO with "review copies available" and have the first few pages flooded with "review copy please"-type responses.
Awesome thank you, will do.

Mexico: One Plate at a Time
Courtesy of Rickbayless.com:
Award-winning chef-restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality Rick Bayless has done more than any other culinary star to introduce Americans to authentic Mexican cuisine and to change the image of Mexican food in America.
Rick is fourth generation in an Oklahoma family of restaurateurs and grocers. From 1980 to 1986, after studying Spanish and Latin American Studies as an undergraduate, and doing doctoral work in Anthropological Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Rick lived in Mexico with his wife, Deann, writing his now-classic Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking From The Heart of Mexico (William Morrow, 1987). The New York Times's legendary Craig Claiborne hailed this work as the "greatest contribution to the Mexican table imaginable."
In 1996, Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen: Capturing the Vibrant Flavors of a World-Class Cuisine (Scribner) won the IACP National Julia Child "Cookbook of the Year Award". The New York Times praised him as a writer who makes "true Mexican food user-friendly for Americans," and Time Magazine hailed him as a "cookbook superstar." Rick's cookbook Salsas That Cook (Simon & Schuster), written with his wife, Deann, and JeanMarie Brownson, was published in 1999. At the 2001 James Beard Awards (the culinary equivalent of the Oscars), Mexico–One Plate at a Time, (Scribner) companion to the first season of the Public Television series by the same name , was singled out as the "Best International Cookbook".
In 1987, Rick having moved to Chicago, opened the hugely successful Frontera Grill, which specializes in contemporary regional Mexican cooking. Still today it remains one of Chicago's hottest dining spots. In 1988, Food & Wine Magazine selected Rick as "Best New Chef of The Year," and in 1991, he won a James Beard Award for "Best American Chef: Midwest." In 1995, he won another James Beard Award for "National Chef of the Year" as well as an award for "Chef of the Year" from the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP). In 1998, the Beard Foundation honored Rick as "Humanitarian of the Year." In 2002, Bon Appétit honored him with the "Cooking Teacher of the Year Award".
Mexico—One Plate at a Time is currently in its fifth season on PBS. His cookbook with his 15 year old daughter, Lanie, titled Rick and Lanie's Excellent Kitchen Adventures was nominated for a James Beard Award as well as Rick's sixth cookbook, Mexican Everyday

Re: Spring Radish Salad
Spring vegetables were very late this year in Montréal, so we still have radishes, and I'll have my balcony herbs until the autumn chill. I might add one celery stick, sliced very fine, as I have some very good organic celery.
Maria Gatti
Of course they do. Maghrebi cuisine, like many round the Mediterranean, features a wide variety of chopped vegetable salads. Some do include greens such as lettuce or cabbage, but not all do. There are no greens (other than possibly herbs) in a classic Greek salad either.
Re: Fresh Raspberry Pie
I use frozen berries and all kinds of fruits all of the time as whatever is in season that's great, but if its not, frozen works just as good. The trick to doing these kinds of things are dabbing milk on the crust before you bake it as it replaces the butter and it doesnt burn it either. It just gives it a golden color. I also do not use lemon at all. I

You might want to re-write the directions. 2 cups all purpose flour + 1 tsp divided - directions say toss cherries with 1 tsp flour3/4 cup whole milk - directions say buttermilkDirections say - mix all ingredients - wet and dry, fill muffin cups and NOW preheat the oven?Shouldn't the oven be hot before doing anything?

Re: Asian Baked Tofu
Just add the calories of a block of tofu, 2Tbs of oil, and 3tsp of maple syrup and that will equal about the right amount. Then divide it by whatever amount you eat of the dish.

"In 2011, nearly six million young people between 18 and 24 years old had not finished upper secondary education and were not in eductaion and training. On average, 54,8% of these early school leavers are unemployed." (EC: Europe 2020 Target: Early School Leaving).
In all countries the problem of drop out from initial VET is more than evident and challenging, however the situations are of course different also in front of labour market situations for young people and provision of young workforce due to low birth rates and demographic developments. In front of this background the successful geographical transfer of innovation in this field was a complex issue and this was the main reason why two excellent project results have been selected as basis for the transfer – one from the school sector (School inclusion project) and one from the business and entrepreneurial sector (CESSIT project) since we believe that a successful transfer to different and differing VET systems and teachers and trainers involved can only be possible if an appropriate combination of training modules from both areas that are determining VET systems are selected and implemented.
This is why at the beginning of the transfer process it was identified for each partner country what was the main focus, competences and modules needed for teachers and trainers involved in the systems (was it more a school oriented VET focus in one country or a more entrepreneurial oriented VET focus in another). Based on this analysis the existing training modules from both training programmes (School inclusion project and CESSIT project) have been adapted and combined to a relevant and appropriate selection of teacher and trainer training modules and learning content.
Besides an appropriate and relevant module and content combination, the translation and adaptation of the training materials into the partner languages and cultural embedding was also foreseen as basis of the transfer process. This approach guaranteed the successful geographical transfer of innovation into systems which were different from each other and nationally determined. With this we ensure better competences of VET teachers and trainers to tackle and prevent drop out from VET in Europe.

The Week Project of Life took place in the Marist Educational Center San José in the city of São José, 5 km from Florianópolis (Brazil), from the 6 to 11 of August, with Primary and High School educators and approximately 450 young people.
The program, of the Province Central South Brazil, carried out with the help of the Team of the Program Happy Life tried to respond to the question, "which is the sense of my life"?
Br. Ernesto Sánchez, the Superior General, sent a special message to the adolescents and young people of the Educational Units of San José and Florianópolis.
"During these days you are reflecting on the vocational theme", Br. Ernesto told them. "I believe that it is a fundamental theme, since it deals with one of the principal objectives of our life". The Video was presented during the official opening.
The Program Happy Life is a Program of formation of the Marist Group (Province Central South Brazil) and given in public and private schools, to stimulate the construction of projects of life and vocational orientation, with emphasis on Marist religious life.
During the week, the team recalled the legacy of Saint Marcelin Champagnat and the history of the Institute of the Marist Brothers, through Workshops and other interventions.
There were also some dynamics, to stimulate the reflection on dreams and attitudes, which contribute greater sense to life.
At the end of the week, the encounter dedicated the time to the young people interested in knowing religious vocations and other vocations.

The area around the campground was clear cut in the late 1800's. Bark from hemlock trees was used in the large tanning industries nearby. The land was left for taxes and taken over by the state in 1902. Over the next 25 years it became a popular camping and hiking area. The cabin and other original buildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early 1930's, making this one of the earliest campgrounds. Two main trails come through the campground making it popular with hikers.
Panther Mountain is the impact site of a meteorite that hit 350 million years ago. It is outlined by the Esopus Creek and Woodland Valley Stream, which form an almost perfect circle around Panther Mountain.

I've discussed this issue with our developers and regrettably I have to say that this behavior is caused by the design at the moment, there is no setting governing relative path in links.
/// Resolves all urls starting with '~' character to relative paths.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.


Get ready to ride passenger into the wilderness on a private Jeep Tour through the Sierras. Our tour guide drives you to see some of the Sierra's most incredible scenery as you venture off into the forest.
Great for all ages! Children of carseat age must be in a carseat in our Jeeps.
All Jeep Tours are private experiences. Tour pricing is per Jeep not per person. Small Jeeps seat 1-4 guests and you can add on third row seating to seat 2 small children.
See the iconic Giant Sequoia Trees in a quiet and secluded grove nestled in the Sierra's. Skip the crowds at Mariposa Grove and hop in our Jeep Wrangler to go Off-Roading on this Jeep Tour. Hike .75 miles to see the Bull Buck Sequoia Tree, and take the long route if you are up for it to see more trees.
Ride to the top of Mount Raymond and see a beautiful view of Bass Lake, our local sporting lake. Crawl over granite plaines, through dense woodland areas, and past rocky cuts to get to the top. Step out of the Jeep for some awesome pictures and ride back down the mountain side. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife!
Combine two of our 2 Hour Jeep tours: Bass Lake Vista and the Giant Sequoia Tour. Ride to the top of Mount Raymond and see a beautiful view of Bass Lake, our local sporting lake.

Hike .75 miles to see the largest tree or hike the long route and see all the trees.
Head off-road and ascend to the top of Devils Peak for an amazing 360 degree view. On top of this mountain is a forestry tower lookout, where the forest service mans an employee summer-long to watch for wildfires. Meet the ranger and sign his guestbook and learn the history of the tower while your tour guide sets up camp. Roaser marshmallows by campfire and watch the sunset. Add on a hot dog package to roast some dinner! Then it's back down the mountain while stargazing and watching for wildlife.
Combine three of our Jeep tours: Bass Lake Vista, Fresno Dome and the Giant Sequoia Tour for a perfect day trip. Ride to the top of Mount Raymond and see a beautiful view of Bass Lake, our local sporting lake. Crawl over granite plaines, through dense woodland areas, and past rocky cuts to get to the top. Step out of the Jeep for some awesome pictures and ride back down the mountain side. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife! Then drive past our cliff edge if you dare (can opt out if desired). Then head to Fresno Dome and hike up to 7,900ft elevation for the most epic 260 degree view of Yosemite and the Sierras. Next its past the creekfalls to the Sequoia Grove. Hike .75 miles to see the largest tree or hike the long route and see all the trees.
Sierra Nevada Motorsports takes pride in having a top of the line fleet. All Jeeps used on our tours are 4 Door JK Jeep Wranglers-Our newest Jeeps being 2019 Wranglers! We keep our fleet for 1-3 years and turn them over so you are always in the newest models and no worry of cars breaking down on the trails.

So much fun on the ATV tour with Brandon. Took a hike and he was knowledgeable and took great pictures of us as well as guiding us on a fun adventure. Definitely recommend this, felt free and alive!!!
Had a blast renting jeep razor. 2 person. Owners were great. Trails were fun challenging and open roads leading to beautiful views. Rzr handled rocks and trails awesome. Would recommend highly to go if your visiting Yosemite... Would definitely do it again.

The Society is named after Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616), a collector and editor of narratives of voyages and travels and other documents relating to English interests overseas.
The Society was created at a meeting convened in the London Library, St James's Square, on 15 December 1846. Under the chairmanship of the geologist Sir Roderick Murchison, it established an eight-man steering group which included the geographer and historian William Desborough Cooley; the Army medical officer Dr Andrew Smith; the naval officer and surveyor Sir Charles Malcolm; the antiquary Bolton Corney; the British Museum Principal Librarian Sir Henry Ellis; the physicist and mathematician William Rowan Hamilton, FRS; and John Edward Gray, Keeper of Zoology at the British Museum.
Cooley had previously criticized the Royal Geographical Society for relying too heavily on contemporary materials in the solution of geographical problems, arguing that the scientific study of geography should involve a far wider analysis and appreciation of earlier sources. He took the major role during the Society's formative period, assisted by Corney and Smith, while Murchison occupied little more than a figurehead position.
Cooley had proposed that the society should be known as the "Columbus Society", but at the inaugural Council Meeting on 26 January 1847 it was decided that it be named in commemoration of Richard Hakluyt. Not only did Hakluyt's name as a recorder of voyages, rather than an explorer in his own right, better reflect the society's aims, but it also proclaimed its central ambition, which was to advance Hakluyt's work into the modern age. A resolution was adopted whereby the Society would print and circulate to its members, for a subscription of one guinea per annum, rare accounts of voyages, travels and geographical records dating from any period prior to William Dampier's circumnavigation (effectively before the end of the 17th century). Meetings were initially held in a room at the London Library, but in 1849 transferred to the offices of the Society's printer in St Martin's Lane, and from 1850 in Great Queen Street. From 1872 they were held at the Royal Geographical Society's premises, originally in Savile Row and subsequently in Kensington Gore.
A General Meeting on 4 March 1847 agreed a constitution and a list of works to be published. The Society was to be governed by a President (Murchison), two Vice-Presidents (Charles Malcolm and Revd H. H. Milman), a Secretary (Cooley) and 17 elected council members. The first year's Council included - in addition to the members of the original steering group - Charles Darwin, Charles Beke, Captain Charles Ramsay Drinkwater Bethune and the scholar Richard Henry Major.
The Society attracted 220 members in its first two years. Its first publication, Bethune's Observations of Sir Richard Hawkins, appeared in December 1847; followed by Major's Select Letters of Christopher Columbus (printed 1847 but published in January 1848). Richard Hakluyt's Divers Voyages touching the Discovery of America, which the Society had intended for its inaugural publication, was postponed until 1850. Meanwhile, Sir Robert Schomburgk's edition of Ralegh's voyage to Guiana had appeared (1849), together with Cooley's Sir Francis Drake his Voyage (1849), Thomas Rundall's Voyages towards the North-West, and Major's Historie of Travaile into Virginia Britannia. Early print-runs were relatively small - around 250 copies to satisfy the existing membership, with a few to spare - at a cost to the Society in the region of £50-60.
Later Years
Murchison served as President until his death in 1871, although his position was largely honorary. He was succeeded by Sir David Dundas (1871-77),[2] a lawyer and politician, and then by Sir Henry Yule (1877-89), an Oriental scholar and former East India Company soldier. Yule took a more direct interest in the editing of the society's publications than either Murchison or Dundas, and it was his decision that all future volumes should be indexed. R. H. Major, who had taken over as Secretary from Cooley in 1849, held the office until 1858 when his place was taken by the geographer, historian and expedition promoter Clements Markham.
Markham served as Secretary 1858-87, and as President 1889-1909, and personally edited no fewer than 29 volumes. From 1893 he was assisted by William Foster, the East India Company historian and India Office archivist, who served as Secretary until 1902. The first permanent Treasurer, appointed in 1908, was Edward Heawood, the Royal Geographical Society's librarian: he remained in office for thirty-eight years. In 1908, the final year of Markham's rule, the Society broke with tradition and published its first post-1700 text, Bolton Corney's Voyage of Captain Don Felipe Gonzalez.
In 1909 Markham was succeeded as President by Sir Albert Gray, an ex-member of the Ceylon Civil Service. From this time onwards the Society began to extend its activity beyond that of publication. It supported the establishment of a memorial to Richard Hakluyt in Bristol Cathedral in 1911, and in 1914 Gray represented the Society on the British Academy Committee involved in organizing the Shakespeare Tercentenary. The period also saw the emergence of women as editors and translators, notably Sigfus Blondal, Bertha Philpotts, Lavinia Anstey and Zelia Nuttall. Membership increased, largely on account of institutional subscriptions which by 1911 accounted for half of the 440 members.
Sir William Foster, the former Secretary, served as President 1928-1945, and then as Vice-president until his death in 1951. Foster's skill in annotating rubbed off on his editors and resulted in a period distinguished by considerable improvements in the quality of the Society's publications, together with a steady growth in membership to more than 2000. Foster was succeeded in 1945 by Edward Lynam, Superintendent of the Map Room at the British Museum (now the British Library) and the first of a line of post-war presidents whose terms of office were restricted to a period of five years. In the post-war period the Society's publication program benefited from the labours of those of its voluntary officers who also took on editorial responsibilities, including R. A. Skelton, Eila Campbell, Terence Armstrong, Sarah Tyacke, Michael Brennan, Robin Law and Will Ryan.
The main activity of the Society is the publication of scholarly editions of primary sources on the voyages and travels undertaken by individuals in many parts of the globe. These include early accounts dealing with the geography, ethnology and natural history of the regions visited. The Society has to date published over 200 editions in some 350 volumes. All editions are published in English.
Although many of the Society's past editions relate to British ventures, with documentary sources in English, the majority concern non-British enterprises and are based on texts in languages other than English. Translations from Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French or Dutch have regularly appeared, and occasional translations from Russian, Greek, Latin, Amharic, Mandarin, Persian or Arabic. The translation in which the material is presented is normally a fresh version, but has sometimes been an earlier rendering, checked and corrected as necessary.
All editions contain scholarly annotation to elucidate the complexities of the text, and to place it in its wider historical context. Volumes are produced in a standard binding, and generally contain maps and contemporary illustrations. The Society's logo, which appears on the cover of all volumes, is a vignette of Ferdinand Magellan's ship, the Victoria.
Editions have dealt with the following explorers: Ibn Battuta, Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, Pedro Cieza de Le�n, John Cabot, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Cosmas Indicopleustes, James Cook, Vasco da Gama, Semyon Dezhnev, Francis Drake, Humphrey Gilbert, Jean-Fran�ois de La P�rouse, Ludwig Leichhardt, Jan Huyghen van Linschoten, Ma Huan, Olaus Magnus, Arthur J. M. Jephson, Jens Munk, William of Rubruck,[3] and George Vancouver.
The Society published 100 volumes in its First Series, from 1847 to 1899. The Second Series ran from 1899 to 1998, and accounted for 190 volumes. The Third Series, in a larger format, began in 1999, and by the end of 2016 had reached 31 volumes. These included a 3-volume journal of The Malaspina Expedition, published in association with the Museo Naval de Madrid. Currently, two volumes are published on average each year.
Extra Series
In addition to its regular series, the Society publishes a separate Extra Series, comprising books which are too expensive in their production to be freely distributed, but which are made available to members at reduced prices. Publications of this type first appeared in 1903-07 with C. R. Beazley's annotated extracts from Hakluyt, and the multi-volume MacLehose editions of Hakluyt's Principal Navigations and Purchas's Pilgrimes. These are now treated as volumes 1-33 of the Extra Series, although only a few sets of the MacLehose printings appeared in Hakluyt Society binding, and none carried the Extra Series imprint. The concept was revived and formally designated in the 1950s with the publication of the Journals of Captain James Cook (4 volumes, 1955-67, numbered as Extra Series vols 34-37), followed by other titles including the monumental Charts & Coastal Views of Captain Cook's Voyages (1988-92). The Extra Series had reached 47 volumes by the end of 2012.
The Society's Annual General Meeting and Annual Lecture is held at the Royal Geographical Society. Its website hosts a discussion group and publishes an online Journal of the Hakluyt Society.

American Friends of the Hakluyt Society
A sister organisation, The American Friends of the Hakluyt Society, was founded in 1996 at the John Carter Brown Library located on the campus of Brown University. The American Friends was founded in conjunction with the 150th anniversary celebration of the Hakluyt Society. The Rhode Island merchant John Carter Brown (1797-1874), was the first American to join the Society as a charter member in 1846.
The American Friends of the Hakluyt Society exists as a non-profit corporation with objectives similar to those of the Hakluyt Society in London, but with a focus on the history of the Americas. The group promotes and helps provide financial support from the United States for the publication of scholarly editions of records of voyages, travels and other geographical material of the past.

Cyber security attacks continue to dominate news headlines. Data breach costs can exceed £4 million. Global cybercrime costs could reach £5 trillion by 2021. As criminals find increasingly innovative ways to bypass software and controls, how can we shift the focus to resilience and active defence? How will interconnected systems be defended and by whom? How can we restore the public's 'crisis of trust'? Where is the line between data capture and privacy?
The fifth annual FT Cyber Security Summit will continue to explore global cyber threats being faced and which business preparedness, resilience and solutions are required to ensure a robust defence. Leading experts will talk about a range of issues, including preparing for what's next, building a security-focussed corporate culture, driving adoption of Nextgen security solutions, maintaining credibility after a hack, how to approach data privacy; in addition to interactive business continuity and resilience scenario planning activities. Moderated by Financial Times journalists, this event will provide a thorough interactive assessment of the dangers in cyberspace and how businesses and governments are investing in better defences for a more secure future.
- What are the geopolitical and macroeconomic risks that could impact cyber security?
- How will the increasing number of interconnected systems be defended and by whom? How will this redefine liability?
- Why have we entered a 'crisis' of trust and how can it be restored?
- How can the security layers and tools be future-proof for the integration of new technologies ie AI and quantum computing?
- What is the "active defense" model and is it the right approach for anticipating and isolating attacks?
Government panel: Where is the right place to draw the line between data capture - or surveillance - and privacy?
- How do national cyber security strategies approach the issue of data privacy? How does this differ between countries or regions?
- How are governments collaborating with corporations via information sharing on best practices and lessons learnt to ensure that critical infrastructure is protected or isolated?
- How can the public and private sectors forge partnerships to secure the whole supply chain?
- What are the differences between the public and private sector organisations in terms of funding levels or transparency obligations?
- Has GDPR been enough to restore the public's 'crisis of trust'?
- What legislation is coming up?
This session includes a live demonstration of the vulnerabilities within systems that can lead to your corporate data being accessed and made public. It will provide practical advice and logical methods for maintaining security. The session will also explore the importance of monitoring the entire network, and developing internal hacking skills.
- Who should be held accountable in a cyber-attack and a data breach?
- Are CISOs being involved in board-level discussions to ensure that updates and an understanding of their obligations?
- What governance principles have been applied in terms of liability thresholds (who is responsible), duty of assistance (when to intervene), and requirement of cyber insurance?
- Who is responsible for financing and prioritisation of cyber security budgets?
- Which cross-functional departments struggle the most with or are impacted the most by cyber security obligations and breaches?
- Has the organisation implemented a clearly laid-out set of standards for accrediting relevant IT professionals? Are relevant staff aware of how to make use of registered cyber security experts?
- How can a cyber awareness culture be established and maintained within the workplace?
- In the future, will software producers be legally liable for faulty software?
- If there is a breach, what are the options for first response? Should the alarm be raised immediately, or does admitting to the breach represent a further security risk?
- Numerous stakeholders must be informed but how should the message differ to ensure the company retains control of the information?
- Is a crisis response team and external communications policy in place and do the teams understand their roles and obligations?
- What impact will the innovation in technologies – like biometrics, predictive analytics and AI have?
- How can AI address the fundamental challenge of legacy security protocols?
- How do cryptocurrencies and blockchain impact cyber security measures?
- How can organisations ensure they are prepared and anticipate what is next?
- How can flexible and adaptable security layers be enabled to allow for evolving technology and enable greater convenience and security?
- How can we strike the right balance between security and delivering the simplicity and convenience that people demand in today's digital world?
- How can we ensure that consumers feel their personal information, money and identity are secure in the digital age?
- What is the future for wearable technology and voice authentication?
- What security technologies have huge potential in securing our digital future?
- How can we ensure external services across complex supply chains are also secured?
- What are the must-haves in terms of cyber security, and how can companies calculate a sensible budget for them? Should cybersecurity budgets scale up in line with the size of the company?
- 360 degree panel: How are Financial Services continuously responding to a complex and evolving risk Environment?
- Cyber attacks against this sector have grown in number, size, and sophistication. This is complicated further by a rise in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and global expansion which creates an even greater challenge in integrating different infrastructures, databases, protocols and computer assets across multiple jurisdictions.
- Defending the digital landscape in a cohesive and holistic way is a huge challenge.
- How are financial regulators helping to protect the system?
- Has collaboration and information-sharing between relevant institutions (government, banks, regulators) been achieved?
- If trust has emerged as the key competitive differentiator, how will this impact the financial services supply chain?
- What is the update on cyber-protection regulations specific to the financial industry?
- How have the challenges of compliance to existing complex regulatory requirements, including those on anti money laundering, KYC and sanctions and data protection, been met?
- How can AI and machine learning be implemented effectively to support compliance, improve monitoring and reporting, and prevent illicit financial flows?
During this live session we will follow the story of a response to a major cyber incident. A number of leading cross-sector CISO panellists will then discuss the key stages of the recovery plan and how they would have responded to ensure operations were recovered quickly and the impact was minimised.
Cyber response is about asking questions and making key decisions about the recovery stage based on the understanding of the incident. Simulation of a cyber emergency scenario is a critical part of building cyber resilience into your organisation. This interactive exercise will challenge the participants to make decisions that will influence the outcome of the cyber incident story. At the end of the training there will be time to reflect on the outcome of each group's decisions, providing insights into the impact of the decisions made.
Each group will have a specific cyber security challenge assigned to them and a leader to guide them through the scenario response process. Once the damage has been assessed ie what is the attackers goal, what type of incident is it, how serious is the incident, has the system been compromised; you will need to agree with the group how do you isolate that breach, who has been affected and should they be informed, how can business be resumed quickly and securely, what are the priorities, who should lead on the business continuity, what are the next steps, who needs to be informed, have stakeholders, staff or the press already found out?
In terms of the recovery steps, what can you do to prevent the attack from happening again, are your monitoring tools and processes sufficient, which of your pieces of equipment or devices are the most vulnerable, are your critical data and systems backed-up, what is the "cyber kill chain" ie a sequence of stages required for an attacker to successfully infiltrate a network and exfiltrate data from it, how can your monitoring and response plan be improved?
SCENARIO 9: A few of your PCs infected by a ransomware attack, how can you prevent it from spreading?
SCENARIO 10: Reports of multiple, seemingly unrelated, cyber incidents are occurring at the same time including phishing attempts and a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, how do you respond?


The field of law has several different categories. There are many legal specialists each, trained in a certain area of expertise. Family law entails the legal matters that revolve around issues concerning the family dynamics. For instance, things such as divorce, adoption, domestic violence, custody battles and child support among many others. People may require family lawyers at various points in their life and finding one may be a little hard if you do not know where to start. However, the internet is a magnificent tool to use because it offers you the chance of looking up lawyers through reading of reviews. Here is why this is important.
If you are in a situation where you need a family lawyer, you don't have to worry. Thanks to the internet and the booming information era, all you have to do is type the words family lawyer on your search engine browser and you will be able to find some reviews that tell you about lawyers operating near you or possibly law firms where you can get some help close to your place of residence. This makes it convenient because then you won't have to walk around looking for one, or waste a lot of time going far, when you could have spoken to one just close buy.
Family law is diverse. This means that there are a number of categories that people can specialize in under the branch of family law. Reviews are a great tool to find out which lawyers specialize in what. if you are looking for a divorce attorney that is exceptionally good at divorce cases, then this is the place to go and check. Similarly, if you are in search of a lawyer who can help you get custody of your child, child support or maybe even help you with legal matters relating to adoption of a child then reviews will do the trick. They are a good place where you filter information and find precisely what you need depending on the help that you require.
Reviews are also a good place of checking who is qualified to practice as well as the track record they have. You only want to employ the services of a certified legal professional who you have confidence in to help you win a case. These will help you get a better idea about the choices that you are about to make.

Expanding services: Huachuca City business owner looking to bring faster internet speeds to town
By Dana Cole dana.cole@myheraldreview.com
Dana Cole
After opening its doors 18 months ago, Southwest Motor Services Group LLC, a used car dealership in Huachuca City, is proposing to expand its operations.
Pending town council approval on Thursday, Southwest Motor's business partners want to provide the public with full-service vehicle repair and maintenance services. In addition to the automobile repair side of the dealership, the business is requesting permission to install a 100-foot communications tower on the east end of the 2.76-acre property, located at 209 S. Huachuca Blvd.
"When it comes to vehicle repairs, we'll do everything from bumpers to engines," said Dominic Politi, one of the seven business partners. "We also plan to fix external blemishes and provide detailing, along with the full-service engine and transmission repairs."
Politi, who served 22 years in the U.S. Army as a communications specialist, also owns Southwest Systems Engineering Corporation with his wife Bernie, son Nicholas and daughter Nicole Perez. Dominic and Bernie started the Sierra Vista-based communications business in 1991.
That's where the 100-foot tower comes in.
The communications tower will provide redundant connectivity to the building in Sierra Vista, he said. "We want to interconnect the two services between CenturyLink, which is what we have in Huachuca City, and Cox, which is what we have in Sierra Vista. And it will allow us to provide internet service to our local community in Huachuca City."
Huachuca City's Planning and Zoning Commission approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for the automobile service expansion and tower during a public hearing on July 3.
The next step is getting council approval at Thursday's town council meeting, said Matthew Williams, Huachuca City town manager. "The business owners have done a great job of enhancing the property when they purchased it for the auto dealership, and the communications tower is going to bring improved internet service to the town's businesses. The expansion is a win-win for all involved."
When addressing the planning commission at the July 3 hearing, Huachuca City Building Official Jim Johnson also spoke in support of the business proposal. Johnson praised husband-wife team Dominic and Bernie Politi for their willingness to work closely with town officials and spoke of improvements made to the property.
"You know what the property looked like when they purchased it, versus what it looks like today, so there have been a lot of major improvements," he said. "The business is a very nice addition to the town of Huachuca City."
When explaining the Conditional Use Permit review, Johnson said the property's zoning is general business-commercial, so the expansion request falls within the current zoning.
In answering questions about the communications tower, it was Nicholas Politi who spoke to the commission.
"Right now, a number of businesses have asked us to look into providing internet service," he said. "...With the addition of the 100-foot tower, we would be able to get (coverage) to roughly 20 to 60 percent of upper Huachuca City."
Nicholas Politi said the goal is to start by providing coverage to the town's businesses the first year, then expand into residential areas once the necessary infrastructure is in place to support the expansion.
"We have to crawl before we can run," he said when asked about providing internet service to lower Huachuca City. While providing the community's businesses with coverage is a priority, Politi said that once connectivity is effective for businesses and upper Huachuca City, there are plans in place to grow the service.
Huachuca City Mayor Johann Wallace also supports the expansion as a viable addition to Huachuca City, both the automobile service side and the tower.
"The businesses in this town are left at a disadvantage when it comes to effective, sustainable internet speed," he said. "What we get as residents is fine, but businesses require greater download and upload speeds, depending on what they're doing."
The communications tower is manufactured by Rohn, a premier company that will be doing the installation. It will have a flashing beacon at the top and a steady beacon at the 50-foot level.
"Our intent is to bring more revenue to Huachuca City," Dominic Politi said. "We took a distressed property and transformed it into a viable business, and we're continuing to improve the property. With council approval, we look forward to providing expanded auto repair services and improved internet service to the community."

Q: Cant create simple html enhanced modal dialog loaded by ajax I have some wizard-like pages in my application, its keeping state while
navigating between small steps, the navigation is not linear and everything
works well without one line of javascript in a "progressive enhancement" way.
In my application, to users with javascript enabled, i want turn flow
above in a set of dialogs by loading each complete step in a dialog by ajax,
process the action of step and close dialog, each step will have the own
script embedded to execute on dialog load and intercept some step ui events.
The problem is that JQuery UI Dialog want create action buttons i cant
give the button creation to plugin, its ask for buttons metadata and i
already have complete functional page with form, buttons, data entry and
everything i need to do my work, its working, its done, i Only want load it
on a Dialog that manage window specific things to me, like Title bar, Drag by
title bar, Close button on title bar, Close event to my cleanup, stretch to
fit my dialog content, load in modal mode with overlay.
I cant find a way to intercept the button click inside dialog by script
embedded on dialog step, the button inside dialog must post data by ajax but
it will post togheter the main page in a normal page posting.
I found some very old plugins but i like JQuery UI, its simple and looks
good, looking for something without iframe,  i read about:

A: I honestly think your dialog creation code is really overcomplicated with unnecessary DOM manipulation, which is immediately undone by dialog creation.
Regardless... I read you question as "How do I rewrite AJAXed forms to submit via AJAX?".
Well, simple. Add this function in the global scope
var rewriteForms = function();
{
    $('#dlgdetail').find("form").submit(function()
    {
        var form = $(this);
        $('#dlgdetail').load(form.attr("action"), form.serializeArray(), rewriteForms);
        return false;
    });
}

Then simply call after dialog was created
rewriteForms();

This will take care of all forms (assuming they are submitted by <button type="submit">...</button> and not via js code). If there are some buttons or links that do something custom, then you need to handle them to in the same manner as shown above.
