Gillibrand announces $1.5 billion in funding for Impact Aid Program

WATERTOWN — The recently passed bipartisan Fiscal Year 2021 government funding package includes $1.5 billion in funding for the country's Impact Aid Program, delivering a $15 million increase from previous years.
Earlier this year, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand led a bipartisan letter alongside Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., urging appropriators to prioritize Impact Aid Funding to support more than 1,200 school districts across the country, including those near Fort Drum.
Federally impacted school districts educate some of the most vulnerable student populations — including Native American and military connected children — and rely on Impact Aid for resources.
As these school districts struggle to respond to the challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic, this continued funding will help alleviate expected state funding cuts and avoid layoffs, provide adequate technology for online learning, and spur economic recovery in their communities.
"I'm proud to have delivered this vital $15 million increase in Impact Aid funding to provide a lifeline for federally impacted school districts that have struggled to adapt to the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis," Sen. Gillibrand said in a statement. "This pandemic has only increased the learning gap and this funding will help students who attend schools affected by federal activity have equal access to the same educational opportunities as other children. Continued funding for the Impact Aid Program will deliver necessary resources for school districts to address the unique challenges of the pandemic and ensure their success in the future."
The Impact Aid Program is a federal program designed to supplement school budgets in districts that are on a large portion of federally owned, nontaxable land, such as military bases and Native American reservations. Several districts around Fort Drum, including the Sackets Harbor Central School District, the Carthage Central School District and the Indian River Central School District, rely on this funding in order to support educational development at schools.

Libs Spend Tens of Millions – But Not On Autism
May 9, 2016 Editor
By Sue-Ann Levy, Toronto Sun
First posted: Sunday, May 08, 2016
In Kathleen Wynne's Ontario, it has become abundantly clear some groups and special interests are far more important than others.
In recent weeks following the devastating news to parents of severely autistic kids namely that highly effective Intensive Behavioral Therapy (IBI) would no longer be funded past the age of five the province continued to heap largesse at a variety of causes, some well beyond Ontario's jurisdiction.
Just a week ago, the premier released a statement indicating the province was giving $500,000 towards relief efforts following the earthquake in Ecuador even though such assistance really is a federal responsibility.
"Since the tragic earthquake on April 1, our thoughts and prayers have been with the people of Ecuador … it has been devastating to watch the number of dead and wounded rise," she said.
Not to take away from the earthquake, but I heard the word "devastating" expressed more than once at a Queen's Park rally last Thursday by parents of autistic kids who feel they've been completely betrayed by the Wynne government.
Since April 14 alone, Wynne's Liberals enjoyed their third mission to China in 1 1/2 years this one taken by Deputy Premier Deb Matthews and International Trade Minister Michael Chan "to build on the success of the premier's two recent business missions to China."
Wynne's first mission to China in late October of 2014 cost $800,000. The full tally of her 2015 trip has not yet been made available.
Allison Buchan-Terrell, press secretary to Matthews, said the expenses of this most recent junket, "once final" will be "publicly posted in detail."
In the weeks since the IBI therapy cuts, the Wynne government has also tossed $20 million at new electric vehicle charging stations (to fight climate change); $12 million at homelessness; $14 million on grants for music groups and more than $2 million on cycling infrastructure.
All told, the $52 million given out in the last few weeks alone, could have purchased two years of IBI therapy (at $5,000 a month) for more than 400 severely autistic kids.
Meanwhile, parents say they've been left on tenterhooks since the recent announcement that despite being on waiting lists for two and three years, their severely autistic kids would no longer be eligible for IBI therapy once they turn five. Instead more spots would be made available for the less intense Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy although that could take two or three years and they would be given $8,000 in one-time funding to transition to other services.
Marguerite Schabas and her husband Steven Sherwood noted their son, Peter, is still four and they're hopeful he'll get a "little bit of service" from Toronto's Surrey Place where he's been on the waiting list for nearly two years.
But as Sherwood said, there has been very little communication from the government and the regional service providers as to what happens next.
"It's a disaster, it's a mess … We're learning new things every day of how mismanaged it is," added Schabas. "No one knows from the top to bottom what's going on."
Brianne Brown, mom of four-year-old Chase, said it has been up to her to contact her service provider and when she did they didn't know what enhanced ABA was all about.
She does know that if her son gets even six months of IBI therapy before he turns five, she won't see the $8,000.
Aly Vitunski, spokesman for Tracy MacCharles, the minister of children and youth services, said as of May 1, there were 900 children who will be taken off the waiting list for IBI therapy and be eligible for the $8,000 payout.
She said that funding will be available "shortly" and each family will meet with their service provider to consult individually about their "needs" and the "services available to them."
Vitunski emphasized that while the service providers will offer "support and guidance," parents will decide on how to spend the $8,000.
She added that the ministry's investment of $333-million over the next five years will create an additional 16,000 ABA spaces.
St. Catherines mom Vendette Gerden, whose son James Purcell just turned five and is no longer eligible for IBI therapy, says the service providers all have the "same answers" and keep saying "it's all coming" that they will have immediate service even though there aren't enough ABA spaces.
"We haven't seen the $8,000 hush money … Our kids aren't in service and won't get that service for another year (at least)," she said during the Queen's Park rally.
"Until the day I die I will never vote Liberal … They can't come back from this."
A sample of grants given out and junkets taken by the Liberal government in the same month IBI therapy cut off to kids over the age of five:
Earthquake relief for Ecuador: $500,000 (May 1)
Third mission to China (April 25-May 4) conducted by Deputy Premier Deb Matthews and International Trade Minister Michael Chan (Kathleen Wynne already went twice in 2014 and 2015): Cost TBD (First mission in 2014 cost $800,000).
Annual Wine Country Travel Guide promoting world-class VQA wines: $2.2 million (May2) as part of the $75-million Ontario Wine and Grape Strategy
500 more electric vehicle charging stations (April 28): $20 million (as part of the $325-million Green Investment Fund and cap and trade program)
Ontario music fund grants to 151 music groups(April 20): $14-million fund made permanent in 2015 budget
Cycling infrastructure for Hamilton (April 19): $295,000 (part of a $10-million program)
Cycling infrastructure for Niagara-area (April 18): $662,000
Cycling infrastructure for southwestern Ontario (April 15): $1.9 million
Research on Sexual violence against indigenous women (April 18): $250,000 (part of a $41-million sexual violence and harassment action plan)
Second round of local poverty reduction fund (April 14): $10 million for homeless projects and $2 million for projects by indigenous-led organizations ($50 million over six years for poverty projects).

Henry of Blois (c. 1096 – 8 August 1171), often known as Henry of Winchester,[2] was Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey from 1126, and Bishop of Winchester from 1129 to his death. He was a younger son of Stephen Henry, Count of Blois by Adela of Normandy, daughter of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. Thus, he was a younger brother of Stephen, King of England.

Early life and education
Henry was one of five sons of Stephen II, Count of Blois, by Adela of Normandy (daughter of William the Conqueror) and the younger brother of King Stephen.[3] His birth date is uncertain, along with his siblings but he was the 4th or youngest son and he was most likely born at Blois c.1096, before his father left on the first crusade, or possibly c.1100, soon after his father's return.[4][1] Henry's father died in 1102 while on crusade during the Second Battle of Ramla, leaving an estate with more than 350 castles and large properties in France including Chartres.[1]
Henry was educated at Cluny and adhered to the principles of Cluniac reform, which included a sense of intellectual freedom and humanism, as well as a high standard of devotion and discipline.[1]
Abbot and bishop
Henry I depiction with staff and ring
Henry was brought to England by King Henry I, to be Abbot of Glastonbury.[5] On 4 October 1129, he was given the bishopric of Winchester[6] and allowed to keep his beloved Glastonbury Abbey. He was consecrated bishop on 17 November 1129.[6] He had ambitions to become Archbishop of Canterbury, but refused to abandon his work and obligations to Glastonbury. Soon after his appointment to the see of Winchester, Henry came to resent his subservience to Canterbury. He therefore set about building a power-base to persuade the king to create a third, West Country archdiocese with himself at the head.[7] This scheme was unsuccessful. However, on 1 March 1139, during the reign of his brother Stephen, Henry obtained a commission as papal legate, which gave him higher rank than Theobald of Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, making him the most powerful figure in the English Church during the troubled times of the so-called "Anarchy". Thus, when his brother was unavailable, Henry of Blois was the most powerful, and possibly the wealthiest, man in England.
Stephen of Blois was crowned King of England in 1135, but the relations between the two brothers were not always peaceful. After the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, Henry found it more advantageous to support Empress Matilda; but later found her arrogant and greedy. Later that year, Henry rejoined his brother's side and, with the help of Queen Matilda and an army commanded by William of Ypres, his successful defence of Winchester against the Empress was the turning point of the civil war. As Abbot of Glastonbury, Henry remained in contact with Peter the Venerable at Cluny and was made aware of most of the controversies on the continent, specifically the persecution of Peter Abelard (whom Peter the Venerable defended) and the translation of the Koran from Arabic to Latin (which Peter the Venerable commissioned).
Before and after his elevation to Bishop, Henry of Blois was an advisor to his brother Stephen and survived him. Henry of Blois engineered hundreds of projects, including villages and canals, abbeys and smaller churches. He was most proud of his contributions to the greatest developments at Glastonbury Abbey, long before the destructive fire of 1184. Unlike most bishops of his age, Henry had a passion for architecture. He built the final additions to Winchester Cathedral and Wolvesey Castle in Winchester, including a tourist tunnel under the cathedral to make it easier for pilgrims to view relics. He also designed and built additions to many palaces and large houses including the castle of Farnham, Surrey[8] and began the construction of the Hospital of St Cross at Winchester. In London he built Winchester Palace as a residence for the bishops of Winchester. In Rome, John of Salisbury reported,[9] he acquired an impressive number of ancient Roman sculptures, defending his purchases as preventing the Romans of his day from worshipping these "idols".
Henry was responsible for building six castles in 1138, namely those at Bishop's Waltham, Downton,[10] Farnham, Merdon, Taunton, and Wolvesey. Contemporaries were surprised that a bishop would be such a prolific builder of fortification. Much of Henry's work was undone in 1155, when the new king, Henry II, ordered that his castles be thrown down.[11]
Henry was also enamoured of books and their distribution. He wrote or sponsored several books including On the Antiquity of the Glastonbury Church by William of Malmesbury, a close personal friend. He sponsored the Winchester Bible, the largest illustrated Bible ever produced. It is a huge folio edition standing nearly three feet in height. This Bible is still on display at Winchester, although it was never fully finished. His production of the Winchester Psalter, also known as the Blois Psalter, is preserved in the British Library and is considered a British National Treasure.
Later years and death
Hospital of St Cross founded in the 1130s by Bishop Henry
The expiration of Henry's legatine commission when Pope Innocent II died on 23 September 1143[3] deprived him of much of his power. His efforts to renew the commission were unsuccessful, but he made a personal visit to Rome and secured several favours for Glastonbury and the Benedictine order in general. Shortly after his brother's death and the accession of Henry II, the bishop retired to Cluny, where he had sent much treasure, for at least two years and mourned there his mentor Peter the Venerable, who died on Christmas Day, 1156.[1]
In his later years, he was among the Bishops forced to agree to the Constitutions of Clarendon in January 1164, which paved the way for the Becket Controversy.[12] He was also appointed to preside over the trial of Thomas Becket and secretly supported Becket's family before and after his assassination.
Henry died on 8 August 1171.[6] Among his gifts to Cluny, was a pyx set with gems in the choir.[13] Henry of Blois is now buried in Winchester Cathedral in a plain stone crypt in the choir, but there is a controversy because some sources claim he was buried at Cluny. Recent research indicates he was also entombed for a time in a small church (St Mary the Virgin) at Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire. One explanation describes his heart enshrined at Cluny while his corpse and other artifacts were moved from Ivinghoe to Winchester in the 17th century. For many years his sarcophagus was thought to be that of King William Rufus son of William the Conqueror. During his lifetime, he was arguably the richest and most powerful man in England, and has been referred to as a king without a throne, and the power behind the throne. In the Antiquities, William of Malmesbury who knew the bishop well, described him, saying, "Yet, in spite of his noble birth he blushes when praised."

Fall 2014 Ready-to-WearCerre
NEW YORK,March 18, 2014
by Brittany Adams
Since launching Cerre in 2005, L.A. husband-and-wife duo Clayton and Flavie Webster have developed a following for lambskin biker jackets that are handcrafted in their Melrose Avenue atelier. In recent years, the West Coast brand has been tapped by A-list costume designer Trish Summerville to create hundreds of custom pieces for Hollywood blockbusters The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But if it's Cerre's perfect Perfectos that continue to draw new customers, it's the increased focus on tailoring that keeps them coming back. This season, the Websters focused on a comparatively relaxed silhouette with high-waisted, wide-legged trousers and slouchy suiting separates that gave off a confident, androgynous vibe à la Katharine Hepburn. Elsewhere, they cut more feminine pieces from menswear-inspired materials that didn't feel too precious. A one-shouldered black dress and circle skirt—both of which featured flattering, asymmetric cascades—came in a luxe felted wool that was also used on a windowpane-check poncho. As usual, outerwear was a particular strength here, with standouts including sumptuous wrap coats accented with subtle architectural pleats around the neckline. In terms of leather items, a swingy trapeze dress and tough pencil skirt with a zipper that curved around the hip felt fresh. Ditto went for the oversize, buckled hobo bag. Instead of models, the latest short video stars real friends and supporters of the brand, such as fashion editor Annina Mislin and Natalia Bonifacci. "People always ask us, 'Who is your woman?' We have her and decided to show her off this time around," they explained.

Q: jquery element cross fade plugin I'm looking for a plugin that, ideally, just fades one element into another.  Not just images.
It seems that every plugin out there is a) image specific or b) a full-on, bloated, slideshow plugin.
Is there anything that just takes two arguments, and fades one into the other?
Thanks!

A: You can write an utility method like this
  $.fadeReplace = function($from, $to){
     $from.fadeOut(500, function(){
       $(this).replaceWith($to);
        $to.fadeIn(500);
     });
  }

Usage
$.fadeReplace($("#div1"), $("#div2"));

march 15: SEALONLINE LAUNCH - cosplay: ryomou shimei (ikki tousen). but i have to say i was more of working instead of a visitor to the event, and my booth was passed to ywsmokona's members.
march 19-22: HGAF - cosplay: none. i have to say i was not very excited about this event. i only went to have a peek on friday, i never actually 'attended' the event.
march 21-22: ACGC - cosplay: tsubaki (soul eater). the reason that i was not at HGAF was because i paid full attention to ACGC instead. joined the cosplay competition with skypegasus and opened Unicornz booth as usual.
apparently i have been attending events in march only so far in 2009; as for may and june, i'm afraid i have to say i wont be able to attend any events (especially because they are all on the weekends) as i will be working again. its been so long.
Are you currently working at a shop that sells computers?
i bet dianne told you~~~ she saw me at work last weekend.

UGA biomedical engineer publishes on 'super-resolution' video imaging
Athens, Ga. – A crucial tool in the evolution of scientific capability in bioscience, the fluorescence microscope has allowed a generation of scientists to study the properties of proteins inside cells. Yet as human capacity for discovery has zoomed to the nanoscale, fluorescence microscopy has struggled to keep up. Now, a team that includes UGA engineer Peter Kner has developed a microscope that is capable of live imaging at double the resolution of fluorescence microscopy using structured illumination. The research was published in Nature Methods on April 26.
The laws of physics have limited the resolution of fluorescence microscopy, whereby a fluorescent marker is used to distinguish specific proteins, to about 200 nanometers. At this resolution significant detail is lost about the activity within a cell. The increased resolution by structured illumination is an engineering feat that will help scientists learn more about cell behavior and study mechanisms important for human disease.
"Our understanding of what is going on inside cells and our ability to manipulate them has advanced so much that it has become more and more important to see them at a better resolution," said Kner, who joined UGA this spring semester. Kner built the structured illumination microscope with colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco.
This work follows on at least a decade of research building on the nearly fifty-year history of fluorescence microscopy. The technology has been a multi-disciplinary springboard of optical engineering, chemistry and biology, in which the disciplines have all contributed to visualizing fluorescent dyes attached to proteins, advancing our understanding of cellular activity. The importance of fluorescence microscopy was recently recognized with the 2008 Nobel Prize for Chemistry which was awarded for the development of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), which has played a crucial role in our identification and understanding of proteins.
"What we've done is develop a much faster system that allows you to look at live cells expressing GFP, which is a very powerful tool for labeling inside the cell," Kner explained.
"It would be difficult to overstate the importance of bio-imaging to ongoing research in human health," said Dale Threadgill, director of the UGA Faculty of Engineering. "The ability to shine a light on the leading-edge of scientific discovery will define the route to entirely new regimens of health management at the intersections of science and engineering, and Dr. Kner has joined a distinguished cadre at UGA to continue working at that interface," Threadgill added.

Sleep apnea thickens blood vessels, increases heart disease risk


Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was filled with rainy weather (which I love), pink martini's, a little bit of work (fun stuff that I can't wait to share), and this delicious breakfast tart. I had made this tart for dinner a few weeks ago and decided to adapt it for breakfast. Using store bought puff pastry dough makes this recipe very forgiving.
Roll out thawed sheet of puff pastry onto a parchment covered baking sheet. Fold 1/2 inch of pastry edges in toward center on all sides. Press firmly on pastry edges with fork to form rim. Chill crust.
Mix creme fraiche and nutmeg in a bowl and spread mixture over crust to folded edge. Sprinkle gruyere, spinach, and pancetta. Break eggs, one in each quadrant and season with salt and pepper. Bake 15 minutes checking after 10 minutes. When done, the egg whites should be completely set and the yolks beginning to thicken but not hard, pastry dough should be puffy and slightly golden. Makes 4 servings. Enjoy!
This one looks really good, I will be super happy if my breakfast will be a tart like this! Maybe I will bake the eggs for a longer time because I don't like it to be in liquid form.
For breakfast, maybe you like the following recipe about pancakes?
Yum! When are you moving up here so you can make breakfasts like this for little old me?

Taking nateglinide with rifampin can make nateglinide less effective. You will probably need to monitor your blood sugar more closely and report any significant changes to your healthcare provider when starting or stopping rifampin.
Combining nateglinide with salicylates can increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Depending on your situation, you may need to be monitored more closely, and your healthcare provider may need to adjust your nateglinide dose, especially when starting or stopping a salicylate.
Taking nateglinide with St. John's wort can make nateglinide less effective. You will probably need to monitor your blood sugar more closely and report any significant changes to your healthcare provider when starting or stopping St. John's wort.
If nateglinide and thyroid medications are taken together, this can make nateglinide less effective, which may increase your chance of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).

Le mot et adjectif épicormique (du grec epi, « sur », et kormos, « cormus », « tronc ») désigne toutes les formations apparaissant à la surface des troncs ou des branches maîtresses des arbres vivants, issues de bourgeons « repoussés » par la croissance cambiale à la périphérie sur le tronc (d'où l'adjectif épicormique). Ces structures épicormiques regroupent principalement les bourgeons épicormiques, picots, amas, gourmands, poils et broussins (ou brognes).

Les épicormiques sont issus de bourgeons proventifs se développant en position habituelle à l'aisselle d'une feuille, ce qui les différencie des bourgeons adventifs (se développant en circonstance et position inhabituelles). La prolifération de termes à la définition pas encore fixée (épicormiques, gourmands, rejets, suppléants, ou en architecture végétale, « réitération retardée ou différée ») employés différemment selon les époques, les milieux (sylviculteur, forestier, arboriculteur, paysagiste), est le reflet de la lente évolution des connaissances.

Ces formations sont des moyens de défense pour l'arbre. Elles lui permettent par exemple de reconstituer des parties endommagées du houppier par des vagues d'attaques parasitaires, des tempêtes, des tailles drastiques (émondage) ou de profiter d'une trouée de lumière pour accroître sa surface foliaire. Elles sont un défaut pour le sylviculteur craignant notamment les bourgeons épicormiques qui  altèrent l'aspect du bois (légère coloration à l'endroit d'un bourgeon épicormique), en diminuant sa valeur commerciale.

Origine
Toutes ces structures épicormiques proviennent du développement d'un bourgeon épicormique qui est un bourgeon axillaire proventif restant latent plus d'une saison de végétation, pouvant persister des dizaines d'années à surface de l'écorce (40 ans chez le chêne sessile).  Cet état de bourgeon dormant est dû à une inhibition hormonale qui favorise habituellement la croissance des bourgeons terminaux (phénomène de dominance apicale). La reprise d'activité de ce bourgeon est déclenchée par des stimuli interprétés comme une adaptation des arbres à de nouvelles ressources du milieu (lumière, eau, éléments minéraux) rendues disponibles à la suite d'une ouverture du peuplement, naturelle (par dégâts de tempête) ou artificielle (ouverture de route ou passage de ligne électrique…), ou à des stress dus à une station défavorable (humidité trop grande, sécheresse trop accentuée, abroutissement répété, etc.), à des accidents (blessure, infection, incendie, bris de cime, etc.), ou sanctionnant une sylviculture inadaptée (manque de lumière par un peuplement maintenu trop dense ou trop pur, excès de lumière latérale par une éclaircie trop brutale…).

Une fois apparues, certaines structures épicormiques évoluent avec l'âge de l'arbre et selon l'essence et le contexte considéré, mais elles peuvent perdurer toute la vie de l'arbre.

Selon la théorie du relais, tout se passe comme si les nombreux bourgeons épicormiques à la base des branches prennent le relais en cas de stress pour « refabriquer » des rameaux feuillés et rééquilibrer le houppier.

Le cas des bourgeons épicormiques

Les bourgeons épicormiques ne s'étant pas développés en ramification avant la fin de l'année suivant leur mise en place, se retrouvent « repoussés » par la croissance cambiale à la périphérie sur le tronc. Ils sont composés d'un méristème terminal entouré d'écailles à la base desquelles de nouveaux bourgeons sont produits en continu, durant la croissance de l'arbre, mais la plupart mourront.

 On les dits primaires quand ce sont des bourgeons axillaires primaires non développés.
 Ils sont dits secondaires s'ils apparaissent à la suite du développement ou de la mort d'un bourgeon axillaire primaire.

Les traces colorées laissées dans le bois par ces bourgeons sont d'origine vasculaire et proviendraient du cambium de l'arbre et non du bourgeon même.

Potentiel épicormique
En sylviculture, le potentiel épicormique d'un arbre est donné par le nombre de bourgeons épicormiques (primaires et secondaires) présents à un moment donné pour une unité de longueur définie. Dans la forêt, ces bourgeons sont normalement rares, mais ils peuvent apparaître brutalement à la suite d'une mise en lumière (trouée, chablis) qui réveille ce potentiel sur le tronc et les branches charpentières. Inversement, l'ombre, le froid tardif, des insectes ou maladies peuvent diminuer ce potentiel par exemple en transformant des bourgeons épicormiques en gourmands ou en les tuant.

Certaines pratiques sylvicoles ou de gestion des arbres d'ornement, ou fruitiers cherchent à éliminer les épicormiques du tronc pour le rendre plus rectiligne et produire un bois sans traces colorées, ou simplement bien rectiligne ; par l'émondage traditionnel d'arbres isolés, ou d'arbres émergeant du bocage par exemple. Dans une forêt dense l'ombre et un certain autoélagage joue ce rôle naturellement, mais les coupes d'éclaircies peuvent induire la pousse de centaines gourmands sur les troncs. Ils sont parfois coupés à la main par le forestier, au moyen d'outils spéciaux, mais au risque de provoquer des plaies vectrices de maladies pour l'arbre.

En lisière ou après des coupes rases, des épicormiques se développent sur les semenciers conservés pour la régénération naturelle ou les arbres brutalement exposés au soleil.

Structures et pousses épicormiques
Elles regroupent :
 Bourgeons,
 Amas, poils, picots,
 Gourmands (et branches gourmandes),
 Sphéroblastes,
 Broussins.

Risque de confusion
Les balais de sorcière peuvent être à tort considérés comme une concentration de rameaux épicormiques en touffe dense servant de support à des nids d'oiseaux ou d'habitat à certains coléoptères. Ces balais de sorcière, d'origine parasitaire, fongique, tumorale ou microbienne, sont en fait différents des épicormiques car issus du développement de bourgeons adventifs et non proventifs.

Les rejets sont issus de bourgeons adventifs ou proventifs.

Q: Pass multiple values in an asynctask and receive corresponding results In my Android app I am trying to pass in an asynctask during the splash screen multiple values and as a result it will return as many results as the values.
myasynctask task=new myasynctask()
task.execute("value1","value2",etc...)

and return for using in other activities result1, result2, etc.
How to do this?

A: You could encapsulate them in an DataTransferObject.
public class AsyncTaskDTO{
// implemnt your values
private int foo;
private boolean bar;
// getter and setters.
}

You could also pass a Map, an array or a List.
as ex:
AsyncTaskDto dto = new AsyncTaskDto();
dto.setFoo(2);
task.execute(dto);

List<String> values = new LinkedList<String>();
values.add("value1");
task.execute(values);

A: When you execute the task as in your code, you will get the values in params[0], parmas[1] etc., to return the same amount of results to onPostExecute I'd suggest to use an array or a list.
private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, ArrayList<String>> {
    protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) {
        ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
            value = params[i];
            //do stuff
            result.add(whatever);
        }
        return result;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<String> result) {
        //do stuff...
    }
}

from https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

A: public interface myInterface{
        public abstract void taskComplete(value1,value2... etc);
    }


BuzzFeed recently posted "21 Incredible Football Stadiums Made of Snacks". My friend Katy alerted me to the link. I thought they might give everyone inspiration if anyone was attempting to make a snack stadium for their Super Bowl party. The two I like are the ones pictured above.
omg these are the greatest things ever! if only someone could make me one for the super bowl, id be a little less depressed that the patriots arent in it!
I wish someone would make me one too!


While ARs get a lot of love at SHOT Show, we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the growing AK market, so we stopped at the large Century Arms booth to speak with their Director of Sales, Jason Karvois, about their latest offerings.
New for 2019 is the VSKA, a heavy-duty AK rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. With components machined from extremely durable S7 tool steel, a chrome-moly 4150 barrel and a carburized 4140 steel bolt, the rifle was designed to withstand heavy use. Sporting maple hardwood furniture the rifle is 100-percent manufactured in the company's Vermont factory. MSRP of the VSKA is $735.95.
Century Arms is also getting into the custom firearms game. Unlike other manufacturers, Century Arms has teamed up with companies in the AK industry, like Aklys Defense and Meridian Defense Corp, to modify WASR and VSKA rifles, as well as Canik pistols. From traditional looks to modernized models, Century Arms is giving creative freedom to its Custom Shop partners and has plans to add more in the future. Custom Shop firearms can be purchased through dealers; MSRP is roughly $2,100.
North America's premier AK manufacturer, Century Arms is also the exclusive importer of Canik handguns, Red Army Standard, and the recently revived US PALM brand. We took a look at the Canik TP9SFx, an out-of-the-box competition ready pistol with 20+1 capacity. MSRP of the Canik TP9SFx with Vortex Viper red dot is $754.99, $554.99 without.

Indie Beer's Family Ties
September 5, 2019, by James Smith
When talk turns to ownership within the beer world, the focus is almost exclusively on the brands that have been acquired by multinationals. Yet, as the local beer industry matures, we're seeing the rise of families of independent brands.
Whether bought or birthed in house, there are groups of distinct beverage companies – they typically go beyond just beer – that share common ownership. And it's likely we'll see more of these indie families over time too.
As things stand, you can look at the evolution of Gage Roads since the publicly-listed WA operation embarked on their "Returning To Craft" strategy – shedding Woolworths' partial ownership and looking to increase the ratio of beer and cider they produce for their own brands. Now you'll find Gage Roads beers sat alongside Alby lagers, Hello Sunshine Cider, the Atomic Beer Project and Matso's (the one brand they've acquired rather than created at time of writing) under the overarching Good Drinks sales and marketing banner unveiled in September 2018.
Then there's Fermentum, launched by the founders of Stone & Wood. Within the group you'll find the likes of Fixation Brewing, Granite Belt Cider, Forest For The Trees and the Square Keg distribution business. And there's Tribe Breweries, which evolved from BrewPack and now specialises in both "partner brewing" – producing a wide range of beverages for others – while also owning brewing companies Stockade Brew Co, which they built, and Mornington Peninsula Brewery and Wilde Gluten Free Beer, both of which they bought.
It's a situation that didn't exist even four years ago, so why are some of the country's biggest independents heading down that path now?
Atomic Beer Project is a new hop-focused brand launched by the Gage Roads team that will have a brewery home in Redfern.
For Aaron Heary, head brewer and COO at Gage Roads, the benefits range from creating efficiencies in their sales force and diversification with their offering to simplifying matters for their trade customers.
"When we took the business independent and went to the open market in about 2016, we sort of foresaw that this would happen," he says. "We had a vision to become a national drinks company [and] when you empathise with the consumer in trade, they are seeing so many reps now, and we wanted to be able to be a solution provider."
The solution is to offer Gage Roads' lineup of craft beers as well as WA brewed lagers, a cider, hoppy beers under the new Atomic Beer Project banner, plus fruit and ginger beers from Matso's.
"Rather than the publican seeing five different reps," he says, "we can cover it in one call – we can talk about multiple taps or fridge space rather just one."
As well as looking at how the major brewing companies were operating, the Gage Roads team took stock of Stone & Wood's evolution via Fermentum, which the Byron Bay brewery's founders launched in 2015.
"We were seven years in and had stayed very focused on establishing Stone & Wood around a core range of beers and put everything into building capacity and capability in the team," explains co-founder Jamie Cook, who since we spoke for this article has announced he's stepping back from his role within Fermentum. "That meant over those years we had parked all the great ideas we had."
Along with co-founders Brad Rogers and Ross Jurisich, he says he'd always been a believer in the mantra that "the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing" but by 2015 "there was a whole bunch of creativity that had to be released", not just from themselves but from team members who they felt needed to be given opportunities for personal growth.
"The three of us draw a lot of energy from building things and seeing people grow and evolve," Jamie says. "We get a kick out of ... seeing people who are really passionate about something grow and develop."
Stone & Wood's founders created Fermentum, under which they've launched other businesses, including Fixation, whose Collingwood Incubator taproom is pictured above.
Furthermore, he says: "We are quite purist from a brand perspective. We liked the idea of doing different things and diversifying. There's a bit of a risk factor from having all your eggs in one basket, but it was more about ideas – looking for a way to provide opportunities for people."
At the time, they had been in conversation with other brewers who were looking to move on or exit their businesses but, according to Jamie, the valuations they were being quoted didn't make sense for them. Instead, they figured they were better investing in their own capacity and creating new businesses from scratch.
"It wasn't so much about business strategy, more about a family approach," he says. "It's great to see the likes of Tommy [Delmont] and Sam [Bethune] at Fixation and Garry [Hastings] at Square Keg, and even Brad at Forest For The Trees putting their passion into what they love.
"We are at a point now where we think we've got enough for a while. We also haven't turned our back on the idea of someone wanting to offload but it would have to be the right price and the right terms."
While such business structures might be new here, there are various examples in the US, often tied to private equity investment, such as CANarchy, the group backed by Fireman Capital Partners and featuring a lineup of brewing companies that includes Oskar Blues, Three Weavers and Cigar City.
As they set about building their $35m production facility in Goulburn, the family behind Tribe Breweries secured significant investment from Advent Partners, a Melbourne-based investment firm. But opening that facility – one of the largest in Australia – has been only part of Tribe's activity in recent years.
The company, which has evolved from the BrewPack contract brewing operation, has its own beer brand, Stockade Brew Co, complete with Barrel Room home in Marrickville, and has acquired Mornington and Wilde too. They're also involved in a Thai craft beer brand and are licensed to brew Pabst Blue Ribbon in Australia.
CEO Anton Szpitalak says their current trajectory wasn't part of the original plan when he was approached by one of his brothers about getting into the beer game, but has instead been a case of looking at where the beer industry is heading.
Anton Szpitalak (centre) with Kristian Martin and Matt Bebe of Mornington Peninsula Brewery on the day they announced the latter's sale to Tribe.
He says one of the advantages of their structure now, in which they own multiple breweries of different sizes, is that it "just gives us the flexibility to be more creative and nimble". In a fast-moving, consumer-driven market, he says they can now be "very dynamic and responsive".
Looking forward, he expects to see greater consolidation within the local beer industry, with more businesses banding together to drive economies of scale. Likewise, while he admits it's hard to make predictions on behalf of others, Aaron says: "I can only assume we will see more of it."
For those that have already started down that path, there's also the benefit of future-proofing their businesses. As the market evolves, having more strings to your bow makes you more likely to be prepared when the next big thing – be it cider, sours or kombucha – strikes. Or when the last big thing isn't quite so big anymore.
Says Jamie: "Pacific Ale has a certain kind of drinker. They're quite loyal but they drift off and try different things. Stone & Wood doesn't have things that are different enough.
"The other piece is, instead of everyone else trying to knock you over, you're better off knocking yourself over."
We've updated our infographic showing who owns which local beer brands to include the indie families – view it here. It's a fluid situation with AB InBev's sale of CUB and associated brands to Asahi still going through, but hopefully it's as accurate as can be.
James Smith launched The Crafty Pint in 2010, two years after moving to Australia from the UK. He was taken to Mountain Goat within weeks of landing in Melbourne, joined their indoor cricket team, and is still navigating the rabbit hole that is craft beer to this day.
The beers that turned you on to good beer:
Watching pints of McEwan's 80 Shilling settle when visiting family in Edinburgh.
Pints of flat Bass from the jug at the Cap & Stocking in Kegworth.
A first Paulaner Hefeweizen when working in Munich in 1998: "This smells of bananas!"
Castle Rock Harvest Pale – how could a 3.8 percent ABV beer be so good? (It turns out it was an early example of the three Cs – Cascade, Centennial and Columbus – in an English bitter).
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA poured through hops at the Sunset Grill in Cambridge, MA, in the company of a man who turned out to be the Beer Nut (while we were both covering a double murder case at the time).
Ordering a Mountain Goat Hightail on my first day as an Aussie resident as it was local and I'd never heard of it; "A dark Australian beer; well I never…"
Murray's Icon 2IPA at Beer DeLuxe Fed Square, recommended by a guy I'd not long known who's now the main man at Fixation, served by Mik Halse, now head of sales at Hawkers. How could an Australian beer smell as good as that?!?
Any really good, fresh and balanced West Coast style IPA. Punchy hop aromatics are the most obvious way to capture someone's attention and these IPAs, done well, present the key components in beer (if you're sticking to just water, malt, hops and yeast) in harmony yet with the volume turned up.
Saison Dupont. Arguably a selfish choice here as I bloody love the broad saison style and dearly hope it will finally take hold in Australia one day. Given a choice, I'd probably crack one enlivened with Brettanomyces like Molly Rose Matilde for myself but, when it comes to turning on someone new, you've got to go with the classic.
Rodenbach Caractère Rouge. Because if you don't enjoy or can't appreciate this beer, I'll never win you over. And because Filip, the fruit and wood specialist at Rodenbach that designed it, is a beautiful human.
The last beer you enjoyed:
Fixation IPA at The Incubator.

Ancient Practices Solving Modern Challenges
Posted in: About Mindfulness, About the CMA, Stories from Our Work ♦ February 26, 2014 ♦ No Comments
Mindfulness is not just a fad or a trend. It has been around for more than 2500 years, and it is here to stay. Over thirty years of research has documented the benefits of this "inner technology" that helps us to deal with life's challenges. From these ancient practices we are learning new applications to deal with the stresses and anxieties of modern life.
The Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts has been instrumental in bringing this work alive in the world through its annual conference. The foundational work of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn has inspired practitioners across the globe to integrate mindfulness into medicine, mental health, education, business, sports, prison reform, addictions work, and even the military. Click here to listen to Krista Tippett interviewing Jon on her acclaimed radio show On Being.
At the annual conference, which begins this year on April 2 in Norwood Massachusetts, it is exciting not only to hear the cutting edge scientific presentations at the John and Tussi Kluge Research Symposium, but also to learn the many creative ways in which mindfulness is helping reduce suffering for people of all ages, across all walks of life. For me personally, being part of this community of diverse practitioners who believe that meaningful change in this world is possible, and that it begins within each one of us, is heartening and encouraging.
You may be curious about how this work translates from academic presentations and research projects into the lives of real people. My own work in Baltimore has continued to focus on this very practical question, as I bring mindfulness to underserved populations.
Here's a story about a young mother who participated in one of our programs last year:
After 8 months living in a shelter, one SHINE family had recently moved into their own apartment. The two children were playing when a struggle began over a toy. The young mother, in the next room, overheard her two-year-old child say to her three-year-old brother, "You need to stop and take a breath. Like this." Then the toddler raised her arms slowly on an inbreath, and lowered them on the outbreath — just like her mother, who had learned how to do this in SHINE, had taught her to do. The mom said, "When I got into their room, they were hugging."
This mom assisted me in teaching an Introduction to Mindfulness workshop to 60 professionals. As she urged them, "Please, just do it. It really works."
This same mom told another story about visiting her partner's family over the holidays. One of his siblings remarked, "What's up with you two? You used to bicker and fight all the time." Her partner, who also participated in SHINE replied, "Let me tell you about this program we're in. It's called SHINE." The mom said the best part of the visit was when her partner turned to his father and, using his Keys to MindfulnessSM, taught him the basic practices he had learned. (These keys are the informal practices we teach in SHINE, and may be purchased on our website).
He also shared a story: "You know, my brother's in jail right now. If he'd had these keys, I don't think he'd be there. I can't wait for him to get out, so I can teach him, too."
We all have the capacity for change and growth, to learn new ways to respond to the "ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows" that life puts in our path. May learning about and practicing mindfulness help make your way a little easier.
To what one breath can do,

What Are Allergies?
Allergies are the result of a natural response by the body's immune system to substances that are normally harmless to most people. The immune system is designed to protect the body from foreign invaders that cause sickness. In the case of allergies, the immune system mistakes harmless substances for illness-causing organisms and triggers a reaction by releasing histamines. Most allergies tend to affect the nose, eyes, ears and even the stomach. In more severe cases, however, allergies can trigger asthma attacks or even cause a life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis.
An allergic reaction can be triggered by a very broad range of substances called allergens, which are present year-round or appear during different seasons. Because allergies result from unique, individual sensitivities, they can vary dramatically from person to person, and a person can have a single allergy or be affected by a very long list of allergies. Some allergies are more common than others and affect larger groups of people.
The most common allergens include:
Foods, such as peanuts
Insect stings or bites
Medications, such as penicillin
Pet dander
Allergy symptoms can vary tremendously in severity and range. Some people may experience a single symptom while others experience multiple at the same time as part of a larger allergic reaction. In mild cases, allergy symptoms are more annoying than a threat to health. In more serious cases, however, allergies can affect breathing and other vital functions. The most common allergy symptoms include:
Cough — A dry cough that doesn't go away may indicate the presence of inflammation in the throat and/or lungs.
Rash — Hives, eczema or contact dermatitis outbreaks can be a result of an allergy.
Runny or stuffy nose — Nasal congestion and discomfort is extremely common and is often accompanied by sneezing.
Shortness of breath — Mild shortness of breath can be a common allergy symptom, but severe breathing issues may be a sign of anaphylaxis.
Watery eyes — Teary eyes are often caused by airborne allergens, such as dust or pollen, and are one of the most common allergy symptoms.
Diagnosing the allergens a person is sensitive to is the first step in treating an allergy. An allergist may be consulted to perform specific skin tests to narrow down the range of allergens and to develop a specific treatment plan. Allergy treatment plans — just like the variety and severity of allergies themselves — can vary significantly from person to person. Most often, however, treatment includes:
Allergy shots — Also known as subcutaneous (under the skin) immunotherapy, allergy shots over time help increase the body's tolerance of certain allergens.
Prescription medications — Such as nasal corticosteroids, nasal and oral antihistamines, leukotriene antagonists and inhaled medications (for asthma).
Sublingual immunotherapy — The liquid form of allergens that is given orally, this produces the same effect as allergy shots.
Lifestyle modification — Avoiding certain foods or substances may be a key piece of treating allergies, especially in severe cases.
Over-the counter medication — Over-the-counter medications are most often used to manage allergy symptoms, including nasal congestion and runny or stuffy nose.

Q: Is there a cross-platform Java method to remove filename special chars? I'm making a cross-platform application that renames files based on data retrieved online. I'd like to sanitize the Strings I took from a web API for the current platform.
I know that different platforms have different file-name requirements, so I was wondering if there's a cross-platform way to do this?
Edit: On Windows platforms you cannot have a question mark '?' in a file name, whereas in Linux, you can. The file names may contain such characters and I would like for the platforms that support those characters to keep them, but otherwise, strip them out.
Also, I would prefer a standard Java solution that doesn't require third-party libraries.

A: Here is the code I use:
public static String sanitizeName( String name ) {
    if( null == name ) {
        return "";
    }

    if( SystemUtils.IS_OS_LINUX ) {
        return name.replaceAll( "[\u0000/]+", "" ).trim();
    }

    return name.replaceAll( "[\u0000-\u001f<>:\"/\\\\|?*\u007f]+", "" ).trim();
}

SystemUtils is from Apache commons-lang3

A: There's a pretty good built-in Java solution - Character.isXxx().
Try Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(c):
String name = "name.é+!@#$%^&*(){}][/=?+-_\\|;:`~!'\",<>";
StringBuilder filename = new StringBuilder();

for (char c : name.toCharArray()) {
  if (c=='.' || Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(c)) {
    filename.append(c);
  }
}

Result is "name.é$_".

A: It is not clear from your question, but since you are planning to accept pathnames from a web form (?) you probably ought block attempts renaming certain things; e.g. "C:\Program Files".  This implies that you need to canonicalize the pathnames to eliminate "." and ".." before you make your access checks.
Given that, I wouldn't attempt to remove illegal characters.  Instead, I'd use "new File(str).getCanonicalFile()" to produce the canonical paths, next check that they satisfy your sandboxing restrictions, and finally use "File.exists()", "File.isFile()", etc to check that the source and destination are kosher, and are not the same file system object.  I'd deal with illegal characters by attempting to do the operations and catching the exceptions.

A: As suggested elsewhere, this is not usually what you want to do. It is usually best to create a temporary file using a secure method such as File.createTempFile().
You should not do this with a whitelist and only keep 'good' characters. If the file is made up of only Chinese characters then you will strip everything out of it. We can't use an include list for this reason, we have to use an exclude list.
Linux pretty much allows anything which can be a real pain. I would just limit Linux to the same list that you limit Windows to so you save yourself headaches in the future.
Using this C# snippet on Windows I produced a list of characters that are not valid on Windows. There are quite a few more characters in this list than you may think (41) so I wouldn't recommend trying to create your own list.
        foreach (char c in new string(Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()))
        {
            Console.Write((int)c);
            Console.Write(",");
        }

Here is a simple Java class which 'cleans' a file name.
public class FileNameCleaner {
final static int[] illegalChars = {34, 60, 62, 124, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 58, 42, 63, 92, 47};
static {
    Arrays.sort(illegalChars);
}
public static String cleanFileName(String badFileName) {
    StringBuilder cleanName = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < badFileName.length(); i++) {
        int c = (int)badFileName.charAt(i);
        if (Arrays.binarySearch(illegalChars, c) < 0) {
            cleanName.append((char)c);
        }
    }
    return cleanName.toString();
}
}

EDIT:
As Stephen suggested you probably also should verify that these file accesses only occur within the directory you allow.
The following answer has sample code for establishing a custom security context in Java and then executing code in that 'sandbox'.
How do you create a secure JEXL (scripting) sandbox?

A: or just do this:
String filename = "A20/B22b#öA\\BC#Ä$%ld_ma.la.xps";
String sane = filename.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z0-9\\._]+", "_");

Result: A20_B22b_A_BC_ld_ma.la.xps
Explanation:
[a-zA-Z0-9\\._] matches a letter from a-z lower or uppercase, numbers, dots and underscores
[^a-zA-Z0-9\\._] is the inverse. i.e. all characters which do not match the first expression
[^a-zA-Z0-9\\._]+ is a sequence of characters which do not match the first expression
So every sequence of characters which does not consist of characters from a-z, 0-9 or . _ will be replaced.

A: This is based on the accepted answer by Sarel Botha which works fine as long as you don't encounter any characters outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane. If you need full Unicode support (and who doesn't?) use this code instead which is Unicode safe:
public class FileNameCleaner {
  final static int[] illegalChars = {34, 60, 62, 124, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 58, 42, 63, 92, 47};

  static {
    Arrays.sort(illegalChars);
  }

  public static String cleanFileName(String badFileName) {
    StringBuilder cleanName = new StringBuilder();
    int len = badFileName.codePointCount(0, badFileName.length());
    for (int i=0; i<len; i++) {
      int c = badFileName.codePointAt(i);
      if (Arrays.binarySearch(illegalChars, c) < 0) {
        cleanName.appendCodePoint(c);
      }
    }
    return cleanName.toString();
  }
}

Key changes here:

*

*Use codePointCount i.c.w. length instead of just length

*use codePointAt instead of charAt

*use appendCodePoint instead of append

*No need to cast chars to ints. In fact, you should never deal with chars as they are basically broken for anything outside the BMP.

A: Paths.get(...) throws a detailed exception with the position of the illegal character.
public static String removeInvalidChars(final String fileName)
{
  try
  {
    Paths.get(fileName);
    return fileName;
  }
  catch (final InvalidPathException e)
  {
    if (e.getInput() != null && e.getInput().length() > 0 && e.getIndex() >= 0)
    {
      final StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(e.getInput());
      stringBuilder.deleteCharAt(e.getIndex());
      return removeInvalidChars(stringBuilder.toString());
    }
    throw e;
  }
}

A: If you want to use more than like [A-Za-z0-9], then check MS Naming Conventions, and dont forget to filter out "...Characters whose integer representations are in the range from 1 through 31,...", like the example of Aaron Digulla does. The code e.g. from David Carboni would not be sufficient for these chars.
Excerpt containing the list of reserved characters:

Use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode characters and characters in the extended character set (128–255), except for the following:
The following reserved characters:

*

*< (less than)

*> (greater than)

*: (colon)

*" (double quote)

*/ (forward slash)

*\ (backslash)

*| (vertical bar or pipe)

*? (question mark)

** (asterisk)

*Integer value zero, sometimes referred to as the ASCII NUL character.

*Characters whose integer representations are in the range from 1 through 31, except for alternate data streams where these characters are allowed. For more information about file streams, see File Streams.

*Any other character that the target file system does not allow.

Umowa suwalska – polsko-litewska umowa wojskowa podpisana 7 października 1920 w Suwałkach, dotyczyła porozumienia w sprawie zawieszenia broni i ustalenia linii demarkacyjnej na Suwalszczyźnie.

Umowa suwalska zatytułowana była: "Umowa między Rzecząpospolitą Polską i Rzecząpospolitą Litewską w sprawie ustanowienia tymczasowego modus vivendi aż do ostatecznego uregulowania stosunków między oboma państwami podpisana w Suwałkach, dnia 7 go października 1920". Posiedzenie zostało zamknięte 8 października 1920 o godz. 2.00. Z tytułu umowy wynika, że umowa ta miała charakter tymczasowego kompromisu między stronami.

Umowa rozstrzygnęła sprawę przynależności Suwalszczyzny. Wytyczona na jej podstawie granica polsko-litewska na odcinku suwalskim nie uległa do chwili obecnej zmianie. Mająca charakter tymczasowy umowa nie rozstrzygnęła jednak sprawy Wilna, gdyż ustalona linia demarkacyjna i rozejm dotyczyły tylko Suwalszczyzny, ale nie całego frontu polsko-litewskiego (specyficznie, nie dotyczyły Wileńszczyzny).

Spisana była w językach polskim i litewskim, obu jednako miarodajnych, wchodziła w życie z chwilą podpisania. Składała się z pięciu artykułów. W pierwszym ustalono linię demarkacyjną. Biegła ona przez ziemię sejneńską i suwalską od granicy Prus Wschodnich do ujścia Czarnej Hańczy, a dalej do Niemna wzdłuż linii z 8 grudnia 1919 roku. Obie strony miały wycofać swe wojska do 6 km w głąb własnego terytorium. W ten sposób utworzono 12-kilometrowy pas neutralny, czyli strefę zdemilitaryzowaną. Dalsze artykuły dotyczyły formalnego zaprzestania działań wojennych (art. 2) i wymiany jeńców (art. 4). Obowiązywać miała do czasu ostatecznego uregulowania sporów terytorialnych pomiędzy Rządem Polskim a Litewskim (art. 5).

Umowa została 19 stycznia 1922 zarejestrowana w Sekretariacie Ligi Narodów zgodnie z wymogami stawianymi przez art. 18 traktatu wersalskiego.

Rozejm pomiędzy armią polską a litewską wszedł w życie 10 października, jednak dwa dni wcześniej 1 Dywizja Litewsko-Białoruska gen. Lucjana Żeligowskiego na rozkaz Józefa Piłsudskiego "zbuntowała się", wypierając oddziały litewskie z Wilna. Walki pomiędzy armią litewską a jednostkami Żeligowskiego, działającego bez oficjalnego wsparcia Armii Polskiej trwały do zawieszenia broni narzuconego przez Ligę Narodów w końcu listopada.

W okresie międzywojennym dyplomacja litewska stała na stanowisku – odrzucanym przez dyplomację polską – że Polska złamała umowę suwalską. Powołując się na brak układu pokojowego kolejne rządy Litwy utrzymywały, jakoby wciąż trwał stan wojny polsko-litewskiej. 10 grudnia 1927 Rada Ligi Narodów uznała wprawdzie istnienie pokoju między oboma państwami (z uzasadnieniem, iż Pakt Ligi Narodów zabrania wojny między jej członkami), jednak nawiązanie stosunków nastąpiło dopiero po ultimatum Polski wobec Litwy w 1938.
