WASHINGTON – A fractional government shutdown will start at midnight since House and Senate legislators have dismissed until Saturday in the midst of a whirlwind of a minute ago transactions that neglected to end a spending standoff.
Congressional pioneers and the White House worked in the background late Friday with expectations of striking an arrangement.
Yet, the House went home just before 7 p.m. what's more, the Senate deferred around a hour later, guaranteeing that a fourth of the legislature would come up short on cash and be compelled to close down at midnight.
"We're extremely arranged for a long shutdown," President Donald Trump said a couple of hours sooner subsequent to clustering with Senate Republicans amid a crisis Oval Office meeting.
When it turned into an inescapable result, Trump took to Twitter, where he recognized the certainty of a shutdown in a video posted late Friday night.
Bested called for bipartisanship while he kept on demanding that it is a "Vote based shutdown." In a takeoff from his comments at the White House prior in the day, when he said he was set up for a long shutdown, the president said in the video that he trusted the slip by in government financing would not keep going long.
"We will have a shutdown. There's nothing we can do about that, since we require the Democrats to give us their votes," Trump said. "We require their assistance to get this endorsed."

For quite a bit of one more turbulent day on Capitol Hill, administrators mixed to sort out a very late understanding that would keep government supports streaming past Friday's midnight due date.
At midafternoon, Vice President Mike Pence and two of Trump's best lieutenants – Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and counsel Jared Kushner – made a trip to the Capitol for a progression of gatherings to endeavor to handle an arrangement.
An understanding demonstrated tricky, yet in what was hailed as somewhat of an achievement, congressional pioneers and the White House consented to proceed with their discussions after a procedural vote in the Senate. However even that gradual advance required a tie-breaking vote by Pence.
"I trust Senate Democrats will work with the White House on an understanding that can pass the two places of Congress and get the president's mark," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said from the Senate floor.
Senate Democratic pioneer, Chuck Schumer, of New York, promised to proceed with the discourses, however said it was clear there are insufficient votes to pass a spending measure that incorporates financing for a divider along the country's southern outskirt.
The battle about outskirt divider subsidizing is the thing that prompted the spending impasse. Trump has requested $5 billion for a divider – one of his mark crusade guarantees – and declined to sign a bill gone by the Senate since it did exclude the cash. That bill would have financed the legislature through Feb. 8.
The House later passed its very own bill to finance the administration through Feb. 8 and give $5 billion to Trump's divider and almost $8 billion in catastrophe help. That measure slowed down in the Senate, setting the phase for a congressional, White House confrontation.
At midnight, nine government organizations and a few littler divisions will come up short on cash, setting off a shutdown heading into the occasions and driving somewhere in the range of 800,000 administrative representatives to go on leave of absence or work without pay.
"The Democrats, whose cast a ballot we require in the Senate, will likely cast a ballot against Border Security and the Wall despite the fact that they realize it is DESPERATELY NEEDED," he composed by means of Twitter. "In the event that the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will keep going for quite a while. Individuals don't need Open Borders and Crime!"

An isolated shower has developed in Southeast Missouri this evening. It isn't out of the question for us to see a few more isolated showers (perhaps a couple thunderstorms) developing through the mid-evening. Once the sun sets and temperatures cool a bit, we should mainly see just rain showers. The below radar image is from 5:13pm CT.
A cold front will slide through the region overnight. There could be a few lingering showers in the morning before more sunshine breaks out by afternoon.
Temperatures will be a tad cooler, but it won't be bad. Highs will be in the upper 50's to 60's.

How do you say diamonds in Chanel? Their 'haute' or high, fine jewellery has the answer to that.
This season Chanel speaks of the vintage notions of talismans that are kept close to the body to protect the wearer. The quatrefoil leitmotif is used throughout—incorporating diamonds, Japanese cultured pearls, sapphires and enamel.
Red carpets to sit down events, the line offers pieces that are ideal for the most extravagant events. Talisman or not, with jewellery this exquisite, the wearer's safety in public is fairly questionable.

Chris Hughes admits he plans to propose to girlfriend Annabel Dimmock
Chris Hughes admits "it won't be long" before he proposes to girlfriend Annabel Dimmock – and says her mother thought they were getting engaged during their recent vacation in the Maldives.
The former Love Island star, 29, confessed to being a hopeless romantic and says he refuses to judge couples who marry after a brief relationship.
In an exclusive interview, Chris, who has been dating professional golfer Annabel, 25, since August, said he "couldn't be happier" and feels "extremely settled" after the couple moved in together late last year.
'If it's good, it's good': Chris Hughes admits 'it won't be long' before he proposes to girlfriend Annabel Dimmock – and says her mum thought they'd get engaged during their recent vacation at the Maldives
Chris told MailOnline: 'It won't be long… Even Annabel's friends messaged her when we went to the Maldives last month, it was at the very last minute.
"Everyone thought I was going to get married because of the time of year. I don't know if Annabel did… her mother said to her, 'Do you think Chris could propose to her?'
"I'm a very family oriented person, it's just the way I was raised and Annabel's family is the same.
'I'm not one of those people that if someone gets engaged after a month, I don't even think it's weird or not normal. I think it's personal to yourself and your relationship. I am old for my time; I should have lived in the 50's.
"One thing you can cling to from that time is that when you met someone, if it was okay, you would get married, even after a few months into your relationship, you would get married. If it's good, it's good.'
'I'm old before my time': The former Love Island star confessed to being a hopeless romantic and says he refuses to judge couples who marry after a brief relationship
Following the end of his high-profile relationship with former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, 30, in 2020, Chris admits he now feels "comfortable" and in a "great place" with his love life.
He explained: "I feel very much at home now in that I moved into a new house just before November.
"As a whole I'm very settled in my life and that's where I wanted to go.
"I'm at the age now where stereotypical people think they should settle down and have a house – I don't think it's like that anymore, but for me I'm comfortable with where I am.
"I'm in a great place with my love life, I'm settled, I'm having a good time and that's the most important thing. I really couldn't be happier.'
'I'm in a great place': Chris, who has been dating pro golfer Annabel since August, said he 'couldn't be happier' and feels 'extremely settled' after the couple moved in together
Chris, who has been reporting live horse racing with ITV Racing since 2019, believes he has found his perfect match in Annabel, who as a professional golfer shares a mutual love of sport.
He said, 'I love it. She appreciates it when I sit there and watch sports and I become myself and when I'm fixated during a Sunderland game.
'I couldn't do without sport; I know this sounds extreme, but what would the world be without sports? Being a professional golfer, she understands that.
"She's gone 32 weeks a year, although abroad, so I really only see her for about 20 weeks a year unless I go see her."
Chris becomes even more domesticated for Annabel and learns to operate a washing machine and use a dishwasher for the first time in 29 years.
Looking good: Chris is the new ambassador for Fudge Professional, starring in the hair brand's fourth episode of their social media series In The Chair
He said: 'You learn a lot about each other when you live together. I'm trying to get a little better… I now know how to operate a washing machine.
"Until a month ago, I'd never put one on in my life. Annabel does 90 percent of the housework, so I had to do my best, now I make the bed when I'm the last one out.
"Now I've figured out how to put in the dishwasher tablets and operate the washing machine…I feel like it's done a little more efficiently when Annabel does it…"
Chris is the new ambassador for Fudge Professional and stars in the hair brand's fourth episode of their social media series In The Chair.
The TV star joins Fudge Professional Global Brand Ambassador, Jonathan Andrew, for an intimate talk about men's mental health and the relationship between Chris, self-confidence and his hair.
Past stars of the Fudge Professional episodes include Jamie Laing of Made In Chelsea, Pete Wicks, regular TOWIE and Vicky Pattison, Geordie Shore's favorite.

Honest: Chris admits in the 28-minute film, which can be seen in full on the star's Instagram profile, that he doesn't feel 'fully clothed' until his hair is styled
He said, "I'm a mental health advocate and for me, my hair gives me confidence.
"If I'm attending a red carpet or an event or presenting work, if my hair isn't right, I lose all confidence in myself.
"It seems like it's much more acceptable for women to have all of these body positivity tools, but with the men's side, it's only gotten much clearer in recent years."
Chris admits in the 28-minute film, which can be seen in full on the star's Instagram profile, that he doesn't feel "fully clothed" until his hair is styled.
He added: "I talk about how much my hair gives me that confidence during my In The Chair session.
"I don't feel fully dressed or feel as confident talking to people when my hair isn't done. That may sound crazy to some people, but it will resonate with others.
"I have very versatile hair, over the years I've changed colors, I've had a buzz cut, I even shaved my hair at one point. In the next 12 months I will definitely be doing something extravagant with my hair."

IIT-JEE preparation in class 12 depends on how good are your class 11 concepts. Did you study properly in class 11 and completed all the JEE Main/Advanced topics well? If yes, then class 12 topics will be a bit easier for you. On the other hand, if you have somehow wasted class 11 and didn't study properly, then you will have to work harder to complete the class 11 and 12 syllabus in one year.
How to Study for IIT-JEE in Class 12?
Here are some study tips for JEE preparation in class 12.
Go through the IIT-JEE syllabus and find out the topics that you already studied in class 11. If you have covered all the topics and chapters of class 11, you can start studying class 12 topics.
If you have backlogs remaining in class 11, then you have to plan your schedule in such a way that you don't stay behind in your current topics of class 12 and at the same time you try to cover your backlogs from class 11. School breaks and vacation days may be a great time to cover your backlogs and relieve some stress.
Prepare a simple time table giving time to all 3 subjects. Don't follow the schedule/time-table of others. You should know what's the best time to study for you. Complete your daily, weekly and monthly targets.
Make notes of important terms, formulae, reactions, mistakes while solving problems, etc. Include your own shortcuts and tricks. Keep revising what you learn during the preparation. Don't leave revision for the last month, it's a continuous process.
For JEE, concepts, practice, speed and accuracy is important. Time management is the key. You should devote enough time to each section i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. In your tests and exam, attempt that subject first in which you are most comfortable.
Always analyse your test and find out mistakes that are happening, correct those mistakes (with help from teachers) and don't repeat them in the upcoming tests.
If you have joined a coaching then your IIT-JEE study material is more than enough to cover the syllabus. Avoid using multiple books and material in your preparation. Referencing multiple sources, books and study materials, for similar topics and chapters, uses a lot of cognitive load of the memory. Quality matters more than quantity in IIT-JEE preparation.
Keep your focus and concentration intact till the end of the IIT-JEE preparation.
Mathematics is an art and requires a lot of practice. The concepts and the formulas should be at your fingertips. Know every shortcut possible. Know every formula possible. Mathematics is not just solving, it needs a little visualisation skills too (ex.- graphs and curve sketching).
For Physics, be perfect with the concepts. It's a blunder to solve problems without being clear about concepts. "Best way to master physics is by solving your institutes material because they provide you with compact package of high quality questions." – Saurav Tiwary (IIT Patna).
Chemistry is very important for a good rank in IIT-JEE. Chemistry in JEE is divided into 3 parts – 1) Physical Chemistry, 2) Organic Chemistry and 3) Inorganic Chemistry.
How to Manage Boards and IIT-JEE in Class 12?
Board exams basically test your knowledge while IIT-JEE questions test application of knowledge. Acquiring knowledge with clear concepts will take care of you Boards. JEE Main and JEE Advanced requires more practice, speed, accuracy and time management skills using various results and tricks.
You have to be flexible between solving questions for board exams and JEE. Board exams have step-wise marking scheme, you need to write in points, flowcharts and diagrams are part of the answers. While in JEE, you just want the answer in shortest possible time with rough calculations.
Make a best use of your school time to study for your school board exams. If you put your best effort, you can score great marks in both IIT-JEE and board exams.
If you have not done yet, join a coaching institute, which can provide you with precise study material and guidance for JEE. The teachers in coaching have many years of experience of preparing students for JEE examination.


BUENOS AIRES, June 26 (Reuters) - Argentina's economy shrank in April for the first time in more than a year, government data showed on Tuesday, while the central bank held its policy rate stable at 40 percent in the first rate decision since a shakeup in its leadership.
The 0.9 percent contraction in April from the same month a year ago came as the key agriculture sector plummeted 31 percent, according to government statistics agency Indec. That was a consequence of the country's worst drought in years, which shriveled the country's soy and corn crops.
It was the first negative monthly reading since February 2017. The economy shrank 2.7 percent in April from March.
Argentina is the world's top exporter of soy meal and soy oil and one of the top shippers of corn and raw soybeans. Treasury Minister Nicolas Dujovne has said the drought will reduce 2018 growth by 1.5 percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP).
After expanding nearly 3 percent in 2017, economists have cut their expectations for growth in Argentina this year due to the drought and a run on the peso currency that triggered a financial crisis, prompting the country to turn to the International Monetary Fund for financing.
In its first monetary policy statement since Luis Caputo took over as governor earlier this month, the bank said it expected consumer prices to rise by less than 2 percent per month between July and September, down from 2.1 percent in May and 2.7 percent in April.
The monetary authority added that it would continue to intervene in the secondary market for central bank debt notes, known as Lebacs, and said it would keep policy tight until inflation expectations fall in line with its target for 17 percent annual inflation by December 2019.
The statement also said that "further changes" in monetary policy would be announced before the next scheduled rate decision on July 10, though no details were given.

since $Destination_Server returns ONE unique value, why is it a problem for the Invoke command? It should simply accept one value as it has been passed.

Democrats are powerless to block Trump's Supreme Court nominee and have no one to blame but themselves
The Daily News | Jul 9, 2018 | Fresh Ink | 0
WASHINGTON – As President Trump prepares to announce his replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, Democrats are desperate to block the president's nominee – but are powerless to so. They have no one to blame but themselves. Let's take a moment to recall the sordid 15-year history of Democratic miscalculations that brought them to this point.
The Democrats' first mistake was to launch unprecedented filibusters against President George W. Bush's appellate court nominees, starting with his 2001 nomination of Miguel Estrada for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The D.C. Circuit is considered the country's second-most important court, having produced more Supreme Court justices than any other federal court. Estrada was a supremely qualified nominee who had the support of a clear majority in the Senate. His confirmation should have been easy.
But Democrats killed his nomination. Why? According to internal strategy memos obtained by the Wall Street Journal, they blocked Estrada at the request of liberal interest groups who said Estrada was "especially dangerous" because "he is Latino, and the White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court appointment." Democrats did not want Republicans to put the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court. Instead, two years after his nomination, they made Estrada the first appeals court nominee in history to be successfully filibustered. It was an extraordinary breach of precedent.
They did not stop with Estrada. Democrats also filibustered nine other Bush circuit-court nominees, all of whom had majority support in the Senate. It was, as columnist Robert Novak wrote at the time, "the first full-scale effort in American history to prevent a president from picking the federal judges he wants."
The Democrats' second big mistake was using the "nuclear option" to pack the federal circuit courts with liberal judges. After Democrats won control of the Senate and the White House, they set about trying to fill court vacancies – particularly on the D.C. Circuit – with judges so left-wing they knew they could not meet the 60-vote "standard." When Republicans (following the precedent Democrats had set) filibustered some of President Barack Obama's nominees, Democrats again broke precedent and eliminated the filibuster for all but Supreme Court nominees. The short-term gain of going nuclear was immense. Obama flipped most of the circuit courts from conservative to liberal majorities, including the D.C. Circuit. But the long-term costs were around the corner.
The Democrats' third mistake was to filibuster Neil M. Gorsuch. After Republicans had won back the Senate, they refused to confirm Obama's choice of Merrick Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia (citing as precedent the promise made in 2007 by Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., that Democrats would not confirm a Supreme Court justice during President George W. Bush's final year in office). When Donald Trump was elected and appointed Gorsuch to fill Scalia's seat, apoplectic Democrats made a fatal error: Instead of keeping their powder dry until Kennedy resigned, they filibustered Gorsuch's nomination. The decision to block such an obviously qualified nominee – praised for his impeccable temperament, character and intellect by legal scholars on both the left and right – freed tradition-bound Republicans to end the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees and confirm him with a simple majority.
Had Democrats not tried to block Gorsuch, they would still have the filibuster. And Republicans, who now have just a single-vote majority, would have a much more difficult time mustering the votes to change Senate rules today. But thanks to Democrats' miscalculations, the GOP doesn't have to.
Democrats are accusing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., of hypocrisy moving forward with a Supreme Court nominee during an election year. But McConnell never said he would not confirm nominees before midterm elections in the second year of a presidency. Three sitting justices were confirmed in midterm election years: Elena Kagan (August 2010), Samuel A. Alito Jr. (January 2006) and Stephen G. Breyer (August 1994) – as were retired Justice David Souter (October 1990) and Scalia (September 1986). Trump is going to do exactly what Presidents Obama, Bill Clinton and both Bushes did before him: He will nominate a qualified candidate to fill the high court vacancy, and Senate Republicans will confirm his nominee. There is nothing the left can do about it. If Democrats are upset, too bad. They should have confirmed Miguel Estrada.

"I advised her to get an abortion. Her refusal was one of the greatest blessings."
June 20, 2017 - by Created Equal Staff
I was standing next to a sign of an aborted 16-week-old preborn child in downtown Columbus when I saw an elderly man quickly approaching. When he got close enough to me, I held out a brochure and asked what he thought about abortion. First, he introduced himself as Larry, and then proceeded to tell me an intriguing story. He informed me that he had recently seen our truck driving throughout the area.
The truck had an image of a 20-week-old aborted preborn human being on it.
He said, "I was disgusted by it. It looked inhumane." He proceeded to tell me that after growing up believing abortion was a women's choice, he took one look at that image and realized the treacherous and horrific procedure that is done during an abortion and how it is undeniably homicide. I then asked if he thought abortion should be illegal. He responded with the commonly used argument of rape.
I replied, "I think rape is one of the worst crimes imaginable. It is obviously traumatic and completely vile. But in that situation, what did the baby do wrong? Shouldn't the one who deserves the punishment be the guilty father and not the innocent child?"
I saw his face drop as he realized the truth.
Then, I pointed to the image and said, "Can you tell if this child was conceived in rape or love? Because I look at this image and all I can tell is that this is an innocent human being who was viciously murdered". I anxiously waited for a response as he intently stared at the image for several more seconds. What he said next shocked me:
"I have never said this out loud before, but 27 years ago, my girlfriend was pregnant. I advised her to get an abortion and was angry when she didn't. Now, though, I realize that her refusal was one of the greatest blessings I could ever receive."
I learned an important lesson through this conversation. A picture is truly worth a thousand words and abortion victims speak for themselves through the images. Abortion is the direct and intentional murder of innocent human beings, and upon looking at the victim images, this truth becomes undeniable.

Conneaut Lake Breeze 100th Anniversary Celebration
The first issue of the Conneaut Lake Breeze was published on March 1, 1922. To celebrate this 100th Anniversary, the Historical Society hosted an event at the museum on Saturday, March 12 to thank our supporters and to share this valuable resource with the community.
The Conneaut Lake Area Historical Society is honored to have in our collection every issue of 67 years of this weekly newspaper in original paper, microfilm, and now in digital, searchable format. We are thankful to our supporters who have made this possible, including Margaret Shontz Memorial Library, the Dietrich Foundation, and numerous grants, donations, technical assistance, committed volunteers and the vision of our founders and early historical society members who recognized the Breeze as the priceless archive it is.
Guests at the event enjoyed displays of Breeze issues and articles of interest through the years, learned about the history of the Breeze in our community and shared memories and stories. They also learned how to access the Breeze in our Research Center as well as online from the comfort of their home. Our visitors also enjoyed touring the museum and seeing some of our projects being worked on for the upcoming season.
A short program included Chuck Groger, Historical Society President, Bobbie Moyers, Founding Member of Historical Society, Diane Helbig, District Director of the Office of Senator Michele Brooks presenting the Historical Society with a Congratulatory Citation, Ruth Young, Director of Shontz Memorial Library, Kathe McKay, Board Member of Shontz Memorial Library, presenting a historic letter written by a Civil War Veteran, Greg Bush , local Representative of the Dietrich Foundation, Dale Pysher, Board Member who introduced Melanie Morian and members of the 1981 Conneaut Lake Girls State Basketball Championship Team and Bob Hilton, Board Member who spearheaded the Breeze On-Line Project.
Many thanks to all who participated in the event. If you would like more information on the Breeze and how to access, please call 814-724-9841.
Mural Installation
If you have driven past the Conneaut Lake Area Historical Society museum recently, you may have noticed 4 new murals on the south side of the building. These were created by 3 now-graduated CASH art students- Kylie Longstreth, Emma Wilson and Shay Shuttleworth- with the cooperation of now-retired CASH art teacher, Mike Vorisek. On Saturday, August 28th, a reception was held at the museum to recognize and thank these young women for their hard work and their creations. Kylie and Emma attended, accompanied by family members. Unfortunately, Shay and Mr. Vorisek were unable to attend.
As sophomores, the three students toured the museum to get ideas for their panels. They then did sketches of proposed ideas which were refined and eventually transferred to the large panels. They then painted the panels which were recently mounted on the museum wall. Emma chose to do a panel recognizing Conneaut Lake High School sports and other activities, Kylie created a panel showing notable signs from around the area and Shay painted a scene of water-skiing on the lake. With 3 artists and 4 panels, Emma and Kylie worked together to make a panel honoring the area scouting programs. The panels are a colorful and welcome addition to the exterior of our museum.
After the families and museum members viewed the panels and photos were taken, the attendees enjoyed refreshments and conversation in the museum office. Finally, the families were invited to tour the museum to see where their daughters got their inspiration and to view our new exhibits.
Once again, a big Thank You to Emma, Kylie and Shay for their hard work, dedication and artistic renderings.
We welcome everyone to visit the museum to view the new panels and tour the museum. New exhibits are added each year and older exhibits are reworked to make every visit a different experience. The museum is open Saturdays from 10-2 and Sundays from 2-5 until mid-October. We are also happy to offer tours to small or large groups at other times.

Two people in Hardin County face aggravated child abuse charges for allegedly feeding batteries and causing other bodily harm to a child.
Two people from Morris Chapel have been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse after allegedly feeding a child batteries and causing other bodily harm.
Kristina Thompson, 21, and Lucas Todd, 19, are each charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse, according to Hardin County indictments.
Thompson and Todd allegedly force-fed a child under the age of eight "numerous size AA and AAA batteries" with the intention of causing serious bodily harm to the child, according to the indictments.
The child is also reported to have "several major contusions and fractured bones," which resulted in a second charge of aggravated child abuse for both Thompson and Todd.
The abuse is alleged to have occurred around Aug. 24. The indictments against the pair were recently unsealed.
The aggravated abuse of a child age eight or under is a Class A felony, according to a Tennessee law known as Haley's Law.
The law defines "serious bodily injury" to include the "fracture of any bone" and "injuries to the skin that involve severe bruising." The law also covers "dangerous instrumentalit[ies]" — batteries, in this case — "used to accomplish the act of abuse."
If convicted, Thompson and Todd face up to 60 years in prison and a potential fine of up to $50,000. The minimum prison sentence for a Class A felony in Tennessee is 15 years.
Thompson is out on bail. Todd remains in custody with the Hardin County Sheriff's Department.
Thompson and Todd will appear in Hardin County Circuit Court on Jan. 3. Thompson will appear at 9 a.m. in the courthouse and Todd will appear at 1 p.m. from Hardin County Jail.

Must the POSSIBILITY of Obtaining a Zoning Variance Be Considered When Appealing a Property Tax Assessment?
October 16, 2015 Category: Real Estate
When Appealing a Michigan Property Tax Assessment, Must the Possibility of Obtaining a Zoning Variance Be Considered in Determining the Property's True Cash Value?
The Answer: It depends!
MS v. City of Brighton, 2015 Mich. App. LEXIS 799 (Apr. 21, 2015), highlights the importance of retaining an expert in a Michigan property tax appeal, especially where the parties dispute is whether the possibility of obtaining a zoning variance must be considered in determining the property's true cash value ("TCV"). The salient facts are as follows.
MS owned a 53-acre vacant parcel in the City of Brighton ("Brighton"), which could only be accessed by a narrow 1400 foot egress strip on one side of the parcel. Notwithstanding this significant limitation, Brighton valued the parcel at over $2 million [$37,736/acre] and assessed and taxed the property accordingly. MS appealed this assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal ("MTT").
In the MTT, the parties agreed that, due to the length of the egress, under Brighton's ordinances the property could not be developed using a dead-end or cul-de-sac road, but would instead have to be developed using a loop or circle road [a road encircling the property or much of the property]. The parties disagreed, however, as to whether the MTT was required to value the property by reference to Brighton's ordinances [MS's position], or whether the MTT should instead value the property as if MS could obtain a variance allowing development via a more feasible cul-de-sac roadway [Brighton's position].
The MTT agreed with MS that it was not feasible to use the property for commercial development because it would be cost prohibitive to construct a loop road, as required under the existing ordinances. The MTT explained that, although the gross value of the property was worth approximately $1.5 million as commercial property, in order to actually use it, MS would be forced by the existing ordinances to construct a loop road at a cost of approximately $3.1 to $3.4 million, which would negate the gross value. In other words, the property would have a value of a negative $1.6-$1.9 million.
The MTT disagreed with Brighton that the grant of a variance was so likely that it should have been included in the MTT's calculations concerning the highest and best use of the property. The MTT concluded that, given the cost to construct a loop road, use of the property for commercial purposes was not financially feasible, and that the highest and best use of the property was for recreational/future development which had a TCV of $264,000 [$4,981/acre], rather than the over $2 million Brighton's expert had proposed. Brighton appealed.
In the Court of Appeals ("COA"), Brighton argued that the MTT had made a mistake when it analyzed the parcel's "worst" use as recreational/future development, rather than its "best" use for commercial purposes. Brighton contended that the basis for the MTT's error was its decision not to take into account the likelihood that MS would be granted a zoning variance allowing development via a cul-de-sac road, rather than a loop road, as required under the ordinance, and that the MTT should have valued the property as if the variance would be granted if requested.
In considering Brighton's argument, the COA explained that "a land use variance is, in essence, a license to use property in a way that would not be permitted under a zoning ordinance." The fact that variances may be granted does not equate to a finding that a variance must be, or likely will be, granted upon request. In fact, the wording of the Brighton's ordinances did not support a finding that a variance was likely to be granted in this case.
Furthermore, MS's expert testified that a cul-de-sac road to the buildable portion of the site would need to be 2,800 feet long and that he had never seen a variance approved for that length. MS's expert also explained that, in his experience, cul-de-sac length variances are not typically granted unless there exists a second emergency ingress/egress connection for police and fire trucks. Due to the topography of the property and its location, MS's expert opined that constructing such an emergency ingress/egress connection would entail "major, major development costs." Based on this testimony and the wording of the ordinance itself, the COA concluded that Brighton's argument that the MTT was required to determine the highest and best use of the property as if a variance would be granted, or was highly likely to be granted, was without merit.
The COA also rejected Brighton's suggestion that MS was somehow at fault in that it had failed to seek a variance in order to "artificially depress" its land value. The COA responded that taxpayers are not required to develop their property so as to maximize the property's taxable value. On the contrary, they may arrange their affairs such that their taxes are as low as possible, and "there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes." And with that last comment, the COA affirmed the MTT in all respects.
Bottom Line: In a Michigan property tax appeal, the MTT is not required to consider the possibility of obtaining a zoning variance in determining the property's TCV, especially where there is credible expert testimony that obtaining the variance is unlikely. Indeed, it is highly recommended that petitioners in a property tax appeal always retain an expert appraiser to support their contention of TCV.

Standing over a saucepan of sauce for lasagne, concentrating, as you do, so that it doesn't stick and burn, I thought back over the years of cooking and the things I've learned from dear friends - mustard in the sauce for cauliflower cheese, thank you Chris; a cupful of water in with the butter and flour to start before the milk goes in, thank you someone now forgotten. So it went on through every step of putting it all together. Food memories, life memories interwoven through everything that matters.
Many people who cook would have learned from their mothers or fathers or another family member and it makes me sad to think how hopeless Mum's cooking was; sometimes inedible, always unappetising because it was a chore, for which she had no enthusiasm whatsoever.She was creative in other ways which absorbed her far more than turning out a nice meal. I never felt comfortable with it and what a relief it was to visit the homes of school friends or relatives, where food was wholesome, enjoyed, celebrated.
I've just spent a relaxing afternoon with a piece of chicklit, in which cooking and food feature almost as another character. Italian food and cooking! The aromas, the variety, the richness and the comfort of it all, so well described you could taste it. I am lucky to have Italian neighbours and to buy most of my vegetables and olive oil from their relatives, who garden professionally a stone's throw away. How I would love to have been brought up in that atmosphere where a love and respect for food runs through everything!
You adoptees can probably guess what's coming! After reunion with both sides of the family, I discovered all were cooks, some professional, some enthusiastic amateurs. Two of my sisters cooked on an oilrig for riggers and enjoyed themselves immensely. My father cooked for every family celebration until he got too old and infirm to do it...the boy who had starved at the hands of the Christian Brothers and considered himself lucky to get a job in the gardens, so he could surreptitiously eat the produce. He keep poultry and grew vegetables, just as I do, although his ducks were for eating, my geese are for beauty.
The thread that runs through my heritage, both sides, is in me, has found it's place and explains one of the things that caused me to be the piece of the jigsaw that didn't fit in to the space alloted for me as an adoptee. Part of me came home when I discovered not just one family, but both, had skills, enthusiasm and a love for food and cooking. As Davis Suzuki says, "our food is our medicine" and my discovery was certainly a big tonic!

Following the conclusion of the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee (ACCC) that the EU is non-compliant with the Aarhus Convention, pertaining to access to justice, the presentation investigates the difficulties that the EU has with the concept of public interest litigation (PIL). Although NGOs have a place at the table in Brussels, the situation in Luxemburg is decidedly different. Matthijs presents his work on the relationship between the public interest and the European judicial system. Even where the European legal order has come into maturity as a fully-fledged constitutional system, the judicial order has not been given the space it needs to mirror that development. In the age of rights, the primary judicial body does not have the interpretative space to emancipate itself from the system of judicial review built for the economically derived fundamental freedoms. Environmental law is only indicative of this problem. There is an increasing call for the EU to become more active regarding Social and Labour policies, foreshadowing more problems. As the EU is formulating a response to the ACCC, the presentation addresses the issue of whether PIL a place in Luxembourg, or whether the very nature of the EU precludes this.


You can also use what I have provided below as a guide. Also liked the buttermilk waffles, the thick french toast and granola bars worked well on the run. Food portal Medicine portal Health portal. I just provide a dessert option for those who enjoy their sweets to show that you can still eat them in moderation and lose weight. Unfortunately, even in these alternate diagnoses, a change in diet restricting FODMAPs may improve symptoms and mask the fact that the correct diagnosis has not been made. However, the analytical methods that attempted to precisely calculate the effects of food on urinary pH were not precise except in very general terms, making effective use of this diet difficult.
I'm glad you enjoyed the article! Any vegetable juice that does not have a lot of added sugar, corn syrup, etc. In fact you may want to learn to juice or liquefy your own vegetables using a juicer or NutriBullet or Ninja. I have used NutriBullet and am not using the Ninja, I like to have the pulp of the fruit or vegetables with my drink. Thanks for all the great info!
I don't see "desserts" on the diabetes list and would rather not use the calorie packs; can you tell me what makes up a mid-afternoon meal? Yes, you can do the same thing as the mid-morning snack. I just provide a dessert option for those who enjoy their sweets to show that you can still eat them in moderation and lose weight. I don't eat dairy other than yogurt which I'm including in my meal paln; is there a dairy substitute when it calls for 1 dairy? The only option that comes to mind right now is soy yogurt.

Whether the effect on luminal bifidobacteria is clinically relevant, preventable, or long lasting, needs to be investigated. The influence on nutrient intake, dietary diversity, which might also affect the gut microbiota, and quality of life also requires further exploration as does the possible economic effects due to reduced physician contact and need for medication.
Although further work is required to confirm its place in IBS and functional bowel disorder clinical pathways, fermentable carbohydrate restriction is an important consideration for future national and international IBS guidelines.

Reddit: Yishan Wong (CEO)
Posted by Retensa on Dec 30, 2014 in 2014 contender | 0 comments
Why this was a big quit: CEOs at most firms rarely quit for salary, Yishan Wong proved that money is not always why they join either. True to his fans, Wong provided insights into his role as Reddit's first CEO through the site's AMA, or "Ask Me Anything," feature. Coming from PayPal and Facebook, Wong asked for a lower salary upon accepting the role at Reddit because he believed a high CEO salary was detrimental to the start-up culture. Wong grew Reddit to over 175 million monthly users, among the top 30 in the world, and raised $50 million...
Fidelity Investments: Edward Johnson III (CEO)
Why this was a big quit: You are doing something right to work at a company for 57 years, even if it was founded by your father. That is the story with Fidelity Investments and Johnson III, who grew the company from less than $4 billion into the $4.6 trillion globo-mega-corp it is today. Fidelity held steady in the face of economic instability, and with only two bad years from 2010-11, it rebounded strongly in 2013, and remains the 2nd largest company where people place their retirement account. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: Johnson...
The Late Late Show: Craig Ferguson (Television Host)
Why this was a big quit: Hey, you know that Scottish late night host? If you watch TV, that comedian (and naturalized American) is Craig Ferguson. The Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning 12:35am host, developed a fervent fan base in his comedic niche for nearly 10 years. In its prime from 2007-2009, the show held its own against competing late night talk show giants. Universally acclaimed for original and unique approaches to the nearly 100 year old talk show format, Ferguson was respected and even interviewed by his competitors. Why...
National Basketball Association: David Stern (Commissioner)
Why this was a big quit: Stern was commissioner of the NBA for 30 years. He grew the US league with 7 new teams, and expanded internationallly. Currently, NBA games are televised in 215 countries and various contests are played overseas. He also instituted major salary cap restructuring, a widely supported dress code, and revenue sharing in the league. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: Stern's run as commissioner was as equally successful as it was painful. He was commissioner during four lockouts, which impacted thousands of jobs. Many...
SAP: Vishal Sikka (Chief Technology Officer)
Why this was a big quit: Sikka worked at SAP for seven years and was their first Chief Technology Officer. He was also seen as a potential CEO candidate. Sikka was responsible for the data crunching tool HANA, which helps companies analyze enormous amounts of data quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, he was in charge of SAP's technology platform, cloud operations, partnerships, and customer co-innovation and development. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: Even though HANA was Sikka's baby, there are many people at SAP who are familiar...
US Department of Health and Human Services: Kathleen Sebelius (Secretary of Health and Human Services)
Why this was a big quit: Regardless of political opinion, everyone knows Obamacare, the program Sebelius spearheaded. As Secretary of Health and Human Services for five years, Sebelius became a household name as the rocky rollout of the Affordable Healthcare Act came crashing down on her. She raised the ACA from birth and her departure once the program stabilized will not help it grow. Prior to that, she made significant contributions in her role, including overseeing the Swine Flu outbreak and advocating strongly for women's health rights....
Why this was a big quit: Dan Hesse joined Sprint in 2007 and helped the company through the financial crisis. He leveraged a series of acquisitions and mergers, the most prominent being the merger with Nextel, to substantially expand user base and revenue. He won the Corporate Responsibility Magazine Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013 and Glassdoor named him among the highest-rated CEOs by employees in 2014. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: Being ranked the number 3 carrier when Hesse took over, Sprint still remains a distant third, and...
New York Yankees: Derek Jeter (Baseball Player)
Why this was a big quit: Five-time World Series champion. 14-time All-Star. 3465 career base hits. Only 27 other players in the history of Major League Baseball have more than 3000 hits. 24 of them are in the Hall of Fame. Jeter accomplished all of this while serving as the captain for baseball's most storied team, the New York Yankees. He was one of the faces of baseball and a recognizable figure everywhere. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: While it is impossible to argue against Jeter's career achievements, his and his team's recent...
US Department of Defense: Chuck Hagel (Secretary of Defense)
Why this was a big quit: The United States of America boasts the most powerful and sophisticated military machine in the history of mankind. So when its Secretary of Defense quits, as Hagel did in November, it is a big deal, regardless of whyit happened. His resignation came on the heels of the loss of the Democratic majority in the Senate following the Midterm Elections. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: Hagel was hired for a different skill set than is now required to deal with the threat from dispersed radical terrorist groups. Hagel...
Archer Daniels Midland: Patricia Woertz (CEO)
Why this was a big quit: Woertz was with Archer Daniels Midland since 2006, and under her tenure the company's revenues rose from $26 billion to $90 billion. She was one of 26 women who headed America's top 500 companies in terms of revenue. In addition, she ranked number 8 on the Forbes Most Powerful Women List in 2014. Why this is not as big as our Top 10: This will be a highly orchestrated transition. Woertz will stay with Archer Daniels Midland until 2016. In the interim, she will serve as chairman until she retires. Despite the company...


Cheryl Haworth isn't just strong, she was the youngest athlete to win an Olympic weightlifting medal.
The documentary, Strong!, follows Haworth as she recovers from a frightening injury. But what made this story poignant was how weight, femininity and beauty are discussed.
At one point, Haworth and two other women who weight-lift discuss what it means to larger than average and it was heartbreaking. Haworth recounts that during the 2000 Olympics a man asked her to pose with a cheeseburger. Now imagine me in my living room yelling, "REALLY?!" Haworth and the other women talk about how they are athletes and thus watch what they eat. But at 300 lbs, Haworth looks more fat than strong to most people.
And that conflict between loving her strong body and conforming to society's beauty standards plays out during a shopping trip where Haworth voices her displeasure with even finding clothes in her size. "I find solace knowing I could beat up anyone in this store," she remarks as her friend scours for the elusive size.
Watch Shopping's a Drag for a Power Lifter on PBS. See more from Independent Lens.
Later on in the documentary, Haworth ponders her future career choices, one of which is being in the Coast Guard. Which would require her to lose 110 pounds. This ignites more conversation about Haworth's body image where she admits to wanting to lose weight for vanity's sake. Haworth's struggle against beauty standards seems similar to current USA Olympian Sarah Roble not being valued by companies who usually gobble up young Olympians for endorsement deals.
Strong! is an intriguing peek into women's weightlifting and does a great job at the body image issue. Together this is a documentary well worth your time. It premiered on PBS in late June, so check your local listings for when it will reair in your area or perhaps it still hasn't shown on your local station.
Disclaimer: I received a review DVD of this documentary.

/SPA Biennial Meetings 2015
Omni Parker House in Boston, MA
A brief schedule can be found here. Click here for the full program with abstracts.
SPA Guide to Boston
Want some tips on where to eat, drink, and play while you're in Boston? SPA President Byron Good, Andrea Chiovenda, and Karen Kwass have some recommendations for you here.
The Biennial Meeting will include a Saturday plenary session on "Controversies in Global Mental Health" organized by Janis Jenkins (UCSD) and Byron Good (Harvard). Talks include:
"We Don't Know Enough": The Challenge of Understanding Extraordinary Conditions – Janis Jenkins (UCSD)
Dueling Nosologies: DSM and RDoC (Another Type of Culture War?) – Roberto Lewis-Fernandez (Columbia)
Issues in the Global Study of Autism: Singularity, Fetishism, and Money – Roy Richard Grinker (George Washington University)
Trauma, PTSD and Trauma Treatment: An Engaged Anthropologist's Perspective on Debates in Global Mental Health – Byron Good (Harvard)
Making Treatment Culturally Appropriate: Assessing for Cultural Syndromes and Related Catastrophic Cognitions – Devon Hinton (Harvard)
What are Eating Disorders? Reconciling Diagnostic Fluidity, Social Invisibility, and Clinical Salience – Anne Becker (Harvard)
Making Psychological Anthropology Relevant to Global Mental Health – Tanya Luhrmann (Stanford)
The Struggle between Keeping the Society Safe and Keeping the Patients Well – Xin Yu (Peking University)
Perspectives on Innovative Mental Health Governance in China and Indonesia: "Unlocking the Mentally Ill" – Mary-Jo Delvecchio Good (Harvard)
Becoming Recovered and Moral Agency: Local and Global – Neely Myers (Southern Methodist University)
We will also have a Friday afternoon plenary entitled "Postcolonial Theory and Psychological Anthropology: A Conversation with Homi Bhabha" organized by Angela Garcia (Stanford) and Byron Good (Harvard). This panel brings Homi Bhabha, a seminal figure in postcolonial theory, into conversation with anthropologists studying different trajectories of postcolonial psychology. Drawing together a variety of ethnographic and critical perspectives, our focus is to address the social, political and historical issues affecting the postcolonial condition, to represent the impact of postcolonial criticism on psychological anthropology, and to explore the potential of postcolonial critique for politically engaged psychological anthropology. This panel asks: How is the postcolonial folded into subjectivity? What kinds of experience is addiction, madness, suicide or violence in relation to postcolonial history? How might postcolonial theory animate psychological anthropology, not only in terms of understanding the discursive and embodied elements of consciousness or suffering, but also in attending to the relationship between theory, method and knowledge? And is a focus on the postcolonial relevant for all societies and aspects of psychological anthropology, or of more limited relevance?
In addition to a keynote talk by Homi Bhabha (Harvard), commentaries will be offered by Vincent Crapanzano (Columbia), Angela Garcia (Stanford), Stefania Pandolfo (University of California at Berkeley), Lisa Stevenson (McGill), and Joao Biehl (Princeton).
We will be hosting a breakfast event entitled "Methods that Matter": Breakfast and Lectures from Robert LeVine and Tom Weisner. This breakfast event is an invitation to explore the benefits of mixed methods research with two leaders in the field. To launch our conversation, Robert LeVine (Harvard) will speak on "Repairing the Fractured Social Sciences: A Historical Perspective on Mixed Methods and their Rediscovery." Tom Weisner (UCLA) will follow with a discussion of how combining methodologies leads to, as the title of his talk states, "Findings that matter." These talks will illustrate the advantages of a restored social science, one that has come of age by doing the kind of integrative, holistic and often collaborative research our social science ancestors originally envisioned.
The "Methods that Matter" event will be held on Friday, April 10th from 8 – 9:45 AM. The lectures and discussion will be accompanied by a breakfast buffet, including:
Cinnamon French Toast with Grand Marnier, Strawberry Butter and Maple Syrup
Assorted Breakfast Pastries and Bagels with Cream Cheeses and Fruit Preserves
Cut Fresh Fruit with Seasonal Berries
Assorted Juices, Coffee and Teas
Tickets for the event are $20 per person. The event is subsidized in part by the Lemelson / SPA Conference Fund, made possible by a generous donation from the Robert Lemelson Foundation.
Our Saturday Night Banquet will include presentation of the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award to Vincent Crapanzano, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY), and a talk by Paul Farmer, Kolokotrones University Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University. The banquet will be held on Saturday, April 11th beginning at 7 PM and will include a buffet dinner and cash bar.
On Thursday, April 9th at 2:15 p.m., we will host a workshop with Eli Lieber (Dedoose) and Tom Weisner (UCLA) entitled Qualitative Data Analysis Software: Dedoose as Exemplar.
For decades, qualitative data analysis software has been used in research and educational settings to improve efficiencies in the management and analysis of research data. Findings can be enhanced when these tools are understood, mastered, and their features are used effectively. At the same time, there are concerns about how these tools may impact how researchers produce data, analyze and interact with their data, and present evidence in publications and presentations. In this workshop, the Dedoose application will be introduced and used to illustrate how the typical tasks of qualitative researchers can be carried out in a relatively transparent and collaborative environment. For many years, traditional software packages with many overlapping features (Atlas.ti, NVivo, and MAXQDA) have been available. However, Dedoose was designed and developed to address unique challenges that could not be served by these other tools. Dedoose supports analyses of narratives, embedded images, and videos directly as qualitative data, as well as the integration of quantitative information on sources of these media in the form of surveys, assessments, observational data, and other data. As an entirely web-based application, Dedoose addresses a wide range of research team and research methods classroom needs. This history and the drivers behind the development of Dedoose will be discussed as well as how the tool's structure and features have been designed to accommodate the needs of teams working across disciplines and using diverse methods, and integrating the types of data collected in mixed methods studies. Finally, a variety of research findings generated by the use of Dedoose will be presented and discussed to illustrate how Dedoose features were capitalized upon to serve the particular needs of various projects.
On Thursday, April 9th at 4 p.m. we will be hosting a workshop entitled "Getting the Grant: National Science Foundation (NSF) Funding for Psychological Anthropology" led by Eileen Anderson-Fye (Case Western Reserve University). The workshop will cover the basic principles of successful NSF proposal writing, various NSF funding mechanisms, review processes, co-reviewing and common pitfalls among psychological anthropology applications. Senior grants; other senior mechanisms for individuals, conferences and training programs; and mentoring student grant applications will be addressed. The workshop will include a presentation and discussion time.
Professor Anderson-Fye has received a number of NSF grants including senior research grants, EAGER support, and student training supplements in addition to supervising Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants (DDIG). She also regularly serves on the anthropology senior review panel for NSF.
On Sunday, April 12th at 10:15 am, Robert Lemelson (Elemental Productions) will offer a Workshop on the Integration of Visual and Psychological Anthropology.
With the advent of digital media and the ease and low cost of its associated technology, video is being increasingly used in psychological anthropological research. Researchers frequently film their subjects, but beyond basic coding for the extraction of data often lack a clear rationale just how and in what ways this material will be utilized. In addition some of the fundamentals of visual literacy, at minimum, are being sacrificed due to the lack of knowledge and experience with the basics of cinematic conventions, techniques and approaches. Researchers rarely consider the transformation of their visual material into any form much beyond basic teaching material. This is unfortunate because film has the capacity to illuminate the core issues of our field and disseminate these to communities outside of the insular world of academia.
This workshop redresses these deficits by introducing the participants to some of the basics of ethnographic filmmaking as it applies to issues relevant to psychological anthropology and will cover both theoretical and practical issues involved in doing longitudinal ethnographic filmmaking at the intersection of psychological, medical and visual anthropology. Topics will include: narrative forms; issues raised in exploring sensitive, dangerous or stigmatized subject material; the uses of film as a tool in research, education and advocacy; person centered ethnography and intersubjectivity in ethnographic filmmaking; and ethical issues.
Finally, on Sunday, April 12th beginning at 1:00 pm, the SPA will feature a special session entitled Psychoanalysis and Psychological Anthropology in Conversation featuring discussion among psychoanalysts from the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and psychological anthropologists who regularly engage psychoanalytic concepts in their research, including Robert Paul (Emory), John Borneman (Princeton), Ellen Corin (McGill), Doug Hollan (UCLA), and Alasdair Donald (Harvard).
Opened in 1885, the elegant Omni Parker House is located in the heart of downtown Boston with easy access to the Boston Common, Beacon Hill, and a wide variety of Boston's many attractions. Special conference rates of $219 for double rooms and $269 for suites are available for conference attendees through the Omni Parker House's Conference Website. Conference room rates are available for three days before and after the conference based on availability, and availability is extremely limited. Conference rates are available until March 16th, 2015.
International Early Career Scholars
Funding for international graduate students and early career scholars will be available to attend the meetings through the SPA's new International Early Career Scholar Travel Grant program. We anticipate awarding three grants up to $2,000. If you are organizing a session, please consider inviting an international scholar.
Book Exhibit
The Scholar's Choice will be managing the book exhibit for our biennial meeting. It may be possible for your recently published books to be included in their display. Anyone interested in having their book displayed at the meeting should contact their publisher as soon as possible to see if the press would be willing to send the book for the exhibit. The Scholar's Choice displays on behalf of the publishers and all requests must come from them, not the individual authors.
Publishers who are unable to attend, but wish to have titles exhibited should contact Mary Lynn Howe by email ([email protected]) or phone (585-262-2048 xt 111) for more information.


Going through the pages of my book Heart Over matter your mantra for success, you would have realized as to how very complex we human beings are. Our behavior, basic characteristics and our abilities to deal with the world and our environment differ from person to person. These abilities and temperament for each of us is very complex. That is why we also call this complex human behavior as an individual's nature. This implies that these noncognitive aspects of our character are to some extent given to us by nature. That is why there are some who are very cool headed and some of us fly the handle and lose temper at the drop of a hat. These human instinct and basic qualities like will power, strength of character etc make a deep impact on each of us and to a large extent dictates as to how we interpret the world .Each one of us therefore has a unique Emotional Bio Rhythm-the way our emotions and characteristics shape our life-which is the key to improving our individual performance.
Emotional Intelligence –as described in the first few chapters –is a mix of an individual's nature, characteristics, traits and attitude. On EI plain we all possess certain strengths as well as weaknesses; most of us have more strengths than weaknesses. To improve upon these weaknesses are like "Emotional Optimisation".

Q: Apache authentication using 'AuthDigestProvider file dbd' order seems to be wrong I am testing the migration of apache authentication from using file to using dbd and mysql.  I am using apache 2.4.6 on a CentOS 7 server.  At present I want to keep both file and dbd authentication working until I am happy that it is working correctly.
Here are the relevant bits of my configuration:
LogLevel debug
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/dummy/cgi-bin/"

# mod_dbd configuration
DBDriver mysql
DBDParams "dbname=myDb user=somebody pass=somepassword"
DBDMin      4
DBDKeep     8
DBDMax      20
DBDExptime  300

<Directory "/var/www/dummy/html">
    Options Includes FollowSymLinks
    # Only needed if we use .htaccess for authentication
    AllowOverride None

    AuthType Digest
    AuthName "Realm"
    AuthDigestDomain /var/www/dummy/
    # nb use dbd first and if that fails use file
    # Well this keeps on failing 1-Sep-2014
    # AuthDigestProvider dbd file
    # Whereas this succeeds (huh??) with
    # the error.log indicating (at LogLevel debug)
    # it is due to dbd-group being granted
    AuthDigestProvider file dbd

    # These are specific to dbd
    AuthDBDUserPWQuery "select pass from blah where UserName=%s"
    AuthDBDUserRealmQuery "select Realm from blah where UserName=%s)"
    # The first column value of each row returned by the query statement
    # should be a string containing a group name.
    # Zero, one, or more rows may be returned.
    AuthzDBDQuery "select GroupName from blah where UserName=%s"

    # These are specific to file
    AuthUserFile /somewhere/passwd
    AuthGroupFile /somewhere/group

    # We require either dbd-group or failing that file group
    <RequireAny>
        Require dbd-group mygroup
        Require group mygroup
    </RequireAny>
</Directory>

According to apache documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html):
AuthBasicProvider file ldap
Require valid-user

In this example the file provider will attempt to authenticate the user first. If it is unable to authenticate the user, the LDAP provider will be called."
The RequireAny directive is not necessary as there is an implied OR between successive Require statements but I have included it to make it explicit.
Now if I make the order in the AuthDigestProvider directive "AuthDigestProvider dbd file" it fails in both Require dbd-group and Require group.  However if I make the directive "AuthDigestProvider file dbd" it succeeds and the log file indicates:
[authz_core:debug] [pid 22474] mod_authz_core.c(802): [client ...] AH01626: authorization result of Require dbd-group mygroup: granted.
My question is: does this indicate that apache has granted access using dbd, or has it really granted access using file and it is pretending that it used dbd??
The followup question is: If this succeeds with 'file dbd' order, why does it fail with 'dbd file' order - surely if either succeeds it should succeed no matter what order is used?
NB Please do not respond about the choice of digest vs basic authentication this is simply a test.

A: Well I have done a little more experimentation with this and I now suspect that digest authentication is broken in authn_dbd on 64-bit machines.  I have checked the response hash received from client browsers that get returned to the server and they match rfc-2617, but both apache-2.4.6 (apr-1.5.1, apr_util-1.5.3) and apache-2.2.27 (apr-1.4.8, apr-util-1.5.2) running on different 64-bit machines return "password mismatch: /" error and as they should be constructing the comparison hash on the same input values then obviously they are not getting the result as defined in rfc-2617.
I dont get any mysql errors, so I assume this is returning the right values (strings that were generated by htdigest) and it does when I test the queries directly on the database.  I have configured the mysql database to return ascii character values for the username, realm and password field, so it should not be a character encoding issue.  As the passwords match OK when using 'file', I can only assume that authn_dbd calculates a different hash to that returned by authn_file???
Actually there was an error in my configuration that I did not pick up at the time.  The AuthDBDUserRealmQuery actually returns the password not the realm (see mod_authn_dbd documentation), so it should be:
AuthDBDUserRealmQuery "select pass from Users where UserName=%s and Realm=%s"
and the AuthDBDUserPWQuery should be removed
