## Функциональность

* Self API
* Broadcast API
* Multicast API
* Unicast API
* Очередь отправки

## Требования

* POSIX shell (протестировано на busybox/ash)
* sed
* awk (awk / gawk / mawk)
* grep
* date
* curl

## Установка

Положите куда-нибудь pushall.sh и JSON.awk, далее выполните:

	chmod +x pushall.sh
	chmod +x JSON.awk

Готово.

Скрипт зависит от пользователя, от которого запускается. Ваша очередь не будет пересекаться с очередью другого пользователя.
Скрипт использует `$XDG_DATA_HOME` для хранения очереди. Если не задана, то по-умолчанию: `~/.local/share`

## Использование

**Простая отправка с использованием self API**
*(Не рекомендуется, используйте вместо этого queue)*

`./pushall.sh -c self -t "Title" -T "Text" -u "http://yourdomain.com/messagetargeturl" -I "pushall_id" -K "pushall_key"`
*(Вернёт LID или сообщение об ошибке от API)*

**Добавление сообщения через self API в конец очереди**

`./pushall.sh -c self -t "Title" -T "Text" -u "http://yourdomain.com/messagetargeturl" -I "pushall_id" -K "pushall_key" queue`
*(Вернёт уникальный ID сообщения в очереди)*

**Добавление сообщения через self API в начало очереди**

`./pushall.sh -c self -t "Title" -T "Text" -u "http://yourdomain.com/messagetargeturl" -I "pushall_id" -K "pushall_key" queue top`
*(Вернёт уникальный ID сообщения в очереди)*

**Отправка сообщений через Broadcast API**

Замените в примерах выше `-c self` на `-c broadcast` и используйте ID / ключ от канала вместо пользовательского.
*(Вернёт LID или сообщение об ошибке от API)*

**Отправка сообщений через Multicast API**

Так же, как и broadcast, только с `-c multicast`. Не забудьте указать UIDs (-U) в формате "[1,2,3]" или "1,2,3"
*(Вернёт LID или сообщение об ошибке от API)*

**Отправка сообщений через Unicast API**

Так же, как и multicast, только с `-c unicast`. Параметр UID (-U) теперь просто одно целое число.
*(Вернёт количество устройств, получивших сообщение или сообщение об ошибке от API)*

**Выполнение существующей очереди с соблюдением тайм-аутов API**

`./pushall.sh run`
*(Вернёт список LID'ов или сообщения об ошибках API)*

**Удаление одного сообщения из очереди**

`./pushall.sh delete <ID>`
*(Используйте ID, который вернул вызов `queue` или `queue top`)*

**Полная очистка очереди**

`./pushall.sh clear`

## Известные проблемы и ограничения

* ~~Все используемые блокировки общесистемные, в то время как очереди - нет.~~ (Issue [#12](https://github.com/nibb13/pushall.sh/issues/12), закрыто в [2f68761](https://github.com/nibb13/pushall.sh/commit/2f68761b95c11cbda751d4bb4cdebad1e54059ad))
* Если curl возвращает ошибку 60 (*"curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK."*), то используйте ключ `-b <ca bundle path>` для всех вызовов API и добавления в очередь. Сам CA bundle можно скачать [здесь](https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html).

That Dylann-Roof Supported White Supremacist Group Donated To A Bunch Of Republicans With White House Ambitions
Richard Ellis/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Over the weekend, a website believed to be created by Charleston shooting suspect Dylann Roof came to public attention, providing some disturbing insight into the 21-year-old's apparently racially charged intentions behind Wednesday's massacre that killed nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. In his self-published "manifesto," Roof named a white supremacist group that he claims made him see the so-called truth about race relations in America. As it turns out, this white supremacist group, Council of Conservative Citizens, is tied to Republican politicians — including some who are currently hoping to end up in the White House by 2017.
The Guardian revealed that CofCC President Earl Holt has donated to a number of leading GOP politicians in recent years, including Tea Party leaders who are hoping to win the 2016 Republican nomination for president. The organization, which states under its principles that it opposes interracial marriage and non-Western Europe immigration, has been labeled an extremist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
After looking into FEC filings, The Guardian discovered that Holt has contributed thousands in funds to the following GOP politicians and their campaigns:
At least $8,500 to Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz and his political action committee (PAC), Jobs Growth & Freedom Fund since 2012.
At least $1,500 to current Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum and his campaign.
At least $1,750 to current Republican presidential candidate Sen Rand Paul's RandPAC.
$2,000 in funds to Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.
$3,200 in funds to former Congresswoman and one-time presidential candidate Michele Bachmann.
$2,000 in funds to Rep. Steve King, a Republican of Iowa known for his ultra-right-wing views on race relations, immigration, women's rights and health care.
David Greedy/Getty Images News/Getty Images
So far, only Cruz has publicly addressed the donations. In a statement obtained by Fox News, a spokesperson for the Cruz campaign said Cruz is returning the $8,500 in funds Holt contributed. "Senator Cruz believes that there is no place for racism in society," the statement read. "Upon learning about Mr. Holt's background and his contributions to the campaign, he immediately instructed that all of those donations be returned."
Bustle has reached out to the campaigns of Rand Paul and Rick Santorum, and has not received a response at this time. A spokesperson for the Santorum campaign told The Guardian that the former senator "does not condone or respect racist or hateful comments of any kind. Period."
In his apparent written screed against integration, Roof acknowledges CofCC as the organization that transformed his entire belief system and views on race in America. "The first website I came to was the Council of Conservative Citizens. There were pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders," Roof wrote on the website believed to be his, LastRhodesian.com. "I was in disbelief. At this moment I realized that something was very wrong.""From this point I researched deeper," Roof continued, leading into detailed sections about African-Americans, Hispanics and Jewish people. Although he only makes one reference to CofCC, his manifesto is not too far off from the group's statement of principles.
For example, CofCC believes America should remain a "European country" with all-white members:
We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called "affirmative action" and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.
"We therefore oppose the massive immigration of non-European and non-Western peoples into the United States that threatens to transform our nation into a non-European majority in our lifetime," CofCC states under its principles.
But on Sunday, not long after Roof's manifesto surfaced, Holt released a statement denying any role CofCC may have played in radicalizing the 21-year-old white man from South Carolina. However, he said he was "not surprised" that Roof cited CofCC and found the group's website through Googling "black-on-white crime."
In a separate statement released to the media, CofCC said its members were "deeply saddened" by the shooting massacre, and that it has never condoned violence. "We pray, for the sake of all Americans, that there will not be an escalation of racial tension," the CofCC statement read.
Yet the statement seems to sidestep the issue of racism and white extremism. In an attempt to possibly prove that Roof was not driven by racism, CofCC mentions that "25 percent [of his Facebook friends] are black." The organization continued:
The media is focused on a picture uploaded May 21st that shows Roof with patches on his jacket representing the old flag of South Africa, and the old flag of Rhodesia. It is unclear what caused Roof to go on the shooting spree. It seems that Roof's interest in racial politics started only very recently.

A Vicious Circle of Low Voter Turnout in the South Bronx
By William Huntsberry on September 16, 2013
It's Primary Day, but not one campaign flyer is posted in the four-block radius of election district 50/84 in the South Bronx. A few blocks away, four campaign workers line the block in front of a polling place, but no one lines up to vote.
The corner of Kelly Street and Avenue St. John is at the center of this precinct, which is physically characterized by townhomes and four-story walk-ups. Crime and poor graduation rates have hounded it for decades. The lack of voters and campaign propaganda is hardly a surprise. For years, voter turnout in the South Bronx has been low, according to a New York City Campaign Finance Board report.
Among the tiny election districts that make up the area, precinct 50/84 has possibly the worst turnout rate of all. In the last general election for mayor, just 14 of 160 registered voters (or 8.75 percent) cast a ballot, while turnout citywide hovered above 18 percent. The number of registered voters has since increased to 633, according to the New York City Board of Elections.
The campaign finance board, in a 2012 report, linked low turnout to low income, low educational attainment and housing instability in the South Bronx. But many residents of election district 50/84 said they don't feel like they are even on the city map.
"People here have their own opinions. They have their agendas, their worries," said Randy Arzu, who lives in the precinct and was pushing his daughter in her stroller on Election Day. "Politicians have to come out and introduce themselves, talk to us to understand that. If they come to neighborhoods where the others don't, that should be a bonus."
The candidates for this year's mayoral race didn't come though. A New York Times analysis shows few South Bronx campaign stops for any of the candidates. John Liu and Christine Quinn appear to have made the most stops, according to maps created by the Times. And Bill Thompson has made a last minute push to attract voters in the Bronx, as well.
"People feel like their vote doesn't count here," said Wayne James, who was visiting his mother in precinct 50/84. "I go to other neighborhoods and I see signs everywhere. But it's only because of that and my TV that I know there's an election. Lots of people here have no idea there's a mayor's race."
James suggests that the cycle of disengagement is a vicious circle—people don't vote, politicians stop paying attention, people vote even less.
"During the summer, there was a shooting out here every weekend," said James. "But you go down to the corner and the basketball court is busted. There's nowhere for kids to go. And there's no work. People are gonna rob and sell drugs, if there's no work."
"We're out here on our own," said James.
Arzu, the young father, hopes that politicians will find a creative way to engage the community. "Have a basketball tournament or a block party. Bring celebrities out here. Go to the barber shops and the restaurants. You've got to find out what people want," he said.
Meanwhile, back at the polling station, the single voting machine reserved for precinct 50/84 stood empty. By the end of the night 46 people pulled its lever, according to unofficial results, almost quadrupling the number of voters from the last mayoral general election.
But that's not exactly an improvement. Based on the new number of registered voters, 46 people translates to just 7.3 percent.

The Salvation Army's pioneering multimedia work Soldiers of the Cross premiered at the Melbourne Town Hall on 13 September 1900.
Referred to by the organisation as a 'lecture', and once thought to be the world's first feature film, it combined 13 short films, over 200 glass slides, hymns, music and the oration of Commandant Herbert Henry Booth, who was the grandson of Salvation Army founder General William Booth. The production was realised by Major Joseph Henry Perry, an enthusiastic supporter of the new film medium and head of the Salvation Army's Limelight Department.
Soldiers of the Cross ran for two hours and related the stories of Christ and the early Christian martyrs. Herbert Booth did not intend the production to be used for fundraising or entertainment, and discouraged applause. He toured the lecture around Australia and New Zealand and later to the USA, Europe, South Africa and Canada. The final presentation was given at Melbourne Town Hall on 22 November 1920.
No motion picture film from Soldiers of the Cross is known to have survived, nor any text copies of the lecture's narration. The National Library of Australia acquired glass slides of the production in 1953 and these are now held by the NFSA.

Are police profiting from 'missing' military equipment?
Daniel Rivero
Filed to:Justice
A recent grand jury indictment against a former police chief from a small town in central Texas suggests that not all of the Pentagon's missing weapons are simply misplaced somewhere in a forgotten gun locker.
A Fusion investigation published earlier this week revealed that 184 state and local police departments have been suspended from the Pentagon's "1033" military surplus transfer program for reporting missing weapons or failing to comply with other guidelines. The investigation uncovered a pattern of missing equipment, including military-issue M14 and M16 assault rifles, .45-caliber pistols, shotguns and even Humvees.
Now, two federal indictments obtained by Fusion allege that some of that missing equipment — including an M14 assault rifle — was resold or transferred to unauthorized third parties by police officials.
William Jason Kelcy, who served as Chief of Texas' Rising Star Police Department from 2009-2013, was indicted earlier this year on allegations that he "sold, traded, pawned" and transferred several "high value military surplus items," including an M14 assault rifle.
"[D]uring the time he served as police chief, Kelcy, by making false and fraudulent representations about the intended use and/or recipient(s) of equipment, sought and obtained more than $4 million worth of property and equipment from the 1033 Program," reads a Department of Justice statement following the indictment filed in Texas last February. Count two of the indictment alleges that "in late June 2012, Kelcy transferred and attempted to transfer a Thompson Ramo Wooldridge M14 machine gun."
The indictment states that Kelcy, who died of metastatic melanoma last May before the case went to trial, "gave, sold, bartered, or otherwise disposed of the equipment to other law enforcement agencies, officers, and private citizens with no law enforcement responsibilities."
Kelcy Indictment
The case was dismissed following Kelcy's death.
The Rising Star Police Department has since distanced itself from the scandal.
"None of the personnel that was working here at that time is working here any more," police Lt. Jackson Weger told Fusion by phone.
Kelcy wasn't the only police officer accused of abusing the Pentagon's program.
In Columbus, Ohio, officer Steven E. Dean was sentenced to two and a half years in jail earlier this month after a similar federal investigation found him guilty of stealing and selling some $250,000 worth of federally owned property that was given to his department through the 1033 program.
Dean diverted more than $130,000 worth of heavy equipment, construction equipment, and vehicles, plus an additional $7,000 worth of restaurant equipment, and nearly $100,000 worth of materials that were sold for scrap, according to the statement of facts issued by the prosecution. Dean pleaded guilty to all charges.
The case, which resulted in the Columbus Police Department's suspension from the Pentagon program, does not appear to have involved the illegal transfer of any weapons. The department has since been readmitted into the 1033 program.
At times, the practice of profiting from the Pentagon program has been officially sanctioned and backed by an entire police department. A 2012 investigation by the Arizona Republic found that the Pinal Sheriff's Office was routinely trying to balance its budget by selling federal property (vehicles, computers, defibrillators) obtained for free through the 1033 program.
The department was given a "Million Dollar Customer" award by the Pentagon a few weeks before the investigation was published, according to a USA Today report.
But after the report was published, the Pinal Sheriff's Office was suspended from the program and the Pentagon ordered them to retrieve the hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment it had sold or leased to third parties. The department's suspension has since been lifted. Fusion reached out to the Pinal Sheriff's Office for comment, but did not receive a response by press time.
Pentagon spokeswoman Michelle McCaskill says the federal government maintains tight controls on all equipment transfers, and insists the program "does not push the excess equipment on any agency."
But Lt. Mike Hopson of the Ennis Police Department in Texas tells a different story. He says he felt like the Pentagon was foisting unwanted equipment on his police department.
"Some of our people went down to pick up a station wagon and another little vehicle, and they were trying to give us helicopters and aircraft carriers and stuff like that," Hopson said.
The Ennis Police Department was suspended from the program in 2013 for losing an armored vehicle that they maintain they never got in the first place. Curiously, that suspension was lifted today, according to police Captain David Anthony.
In a brief phone conversation with Fusion, Anthony said the suspension ended today, but wouldn't say why. The police captain said he is not allowed to talk about the matter in any more detail, per orders of state coordinator Sklor Hearn, who has also refused to speak to Fusion.
Daniel Rivero is a producer/reporter for Fusion who focuses on police and justice issues. He also skateboards, does a bunch of arts related things on his off time, and likes Cuban coffee.

Botanicalname Eucalyptus globulus / Family Myrtaceae
Eucalyptus blue gum belongs to the myrtle family and is native to Tasmania and Australia. It is a tall, straight, evergreen tree that is mainly cultivated in unhealthy low-lying or, swampy districts. Its rough, deeply furrowed bark can be grey- blue or reddish and peels off in large strips, hence the name 'stringy bark tree'. The juvenile leaves are broad and a waxy whitish-green, but are succeeded by a mature, dark blueish-green, sickle-shaped form. Its almost stalk less flowers bloom singly or in clusters and produce copious nectar. The fruit is a woody capsule with valves that open on the top, shedding numerous small seeds.History, mystery and spiritual healing Eucalyptus blue gum was first collected on the south-east coast of Tasmania in 1792-3 by Jacques Labillardiera and described by him in 1799. It is said that he named it E. globulus because its spherical, waxy fruit bore a strong resemblance to a kind of round button then worn in France. Much later, on 27 November 1962, the tree was proclaimed the official floral emblem of Tasmania, but is seldom used.
In the Dreamtime, the Koori people have a myth about Australia's Murray River and how it was created, which involves the eucalyptus gum tree. Totyerguil was a mighty hunter and one day, having thrown all his spears and lost the huge fish he had hunted, he landed upon a river bank, where he set his canoe on end and stuck his paddle upright in the ground. The canoe became a huge gum tree and the paddle a Murray pine. It is these species of trees that the descendants of Totyerguil still use in making their canoes and paddles.
Believed to be the world's oldest wind instrument, the didgeridoo, or yidaki, is traditionally made from eucalpytus and is used by Aborigines for healing, ceremonies, initiation rites and social gatherings.
Before the biological process of the malarial mosquito's ability to spread the disease was understood, the eucalyptus blue gum was an axis of superstition. It was an Aboriginal belief that the tree released a magical essence that purified the air of fever germs - a very reasonable assumption, given the disinfectant nature of the leaves' oils emanating into the atmosphere. However, the benefit is actually derived from the capacity of the eucalyptus to absorb water from the swampy ground, culminating in the loss of suitable mosquito-breeding habitats.
One aspect of the eucalyptus's healing power is the didgeridoo as a form of vibrational medicine. It gives both psychological and physical benefits from the sound it influences the brainwaves directly and, as a result, can put the player or listener into an altered state of consciousness. Science proves that regular didgeridoo playing is an effective and well-accepted treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. Reportedly, medical research has shown that healing with the didgeridoo aids aggressiveness, behavioural disorders, energetic blockages, hysteria, phobias, speech impediments, severe inhibitions and traumatic burdens; it also helps bone, muscle and hormone function and lowers the heart rate and blood pressure.
Although eucalyptus's properties have been renowned for more than 150 years in the Western world, the Aborigines used eucalyptus medicinally long before any colonists. Northern Aborigines crushed eucalyptus leaves as a 'sniffing' medicine, and the kino or tannin-rich 'gum' was also used by Aborigines to make an antiseptic wash for burns and skin infections. Boiled in an iron pot, kino yielded a black die used for ink and staining leather.
It was common Aboriginal knowledge that bathing in lakeside places where eucalyptus trees cast their leaves into the water offered skin-healing properties. And to treat diarrhoea, water from eucalyptus's 'manna' - made from the leaves and young bark of various eucalyptus species - was greatly valued by Bushmen and early colonists alike.
Antibacterial, anti-Candidiasis, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antiviral, E. globulus essential oil is used for countless complaints, from halitosis and rheumatics to tuberculosis and viral infections. The lead compound, eucalyptol, is noted for its anaesthetic, analgesic, antibronchitic, anticatarrhal, antilaryngitic, stimulatory and expectorant properties, among much else. Used in aromatherapy, vaporized eucalyptus has an excellent record as an inhalant for the sinus and bronchial congestions of bronchitis, whooping cough, colds, asthma, influenza and other respiratory illnesses. The German Commission E approves the internal use of eucalyptus oil for treating catarrh (mucous) of the respiratory tract, and externally for use against bone and joint pain.
Eucalyptus oil was listed in the 1885 edition of the British Pharmacopoeia, in the British Pharmaceutical Codex of 1973 and in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia of 1996. The oil's therapeutic uses have been integrated into traditional medicine systems, including traditional Chinese medicine, Indian Ayurvedic and Western medicine. Eucalyptus is included in the Indian Pharmacopoeia as a counter-irritant and mild expectorant; in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as a skin irritant used in nerve pain; and in the present Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia for its topical application for headaches due to colds.
Eucalyptus oil is contraindicated for internal use during pregnancy. Avoid it if you have high blood pressure or epilepsy. It may interact with existing prescription drugs. The oil should be diluted before internal or external use. Eucalyptus preparations should not be applied to the face, especially the nose, of infants and children.

Two recent decisions of Florida appellate courts signal a welcome judicial trend toward disregarding privatization as a means of shielding government activity from public scrutiny. Both cases recognize that private companies that provide private services in place of the government may be treated as government agencies under Florida's Public Records Act based merely on the nature of the services they provide.
The Act extends to records of private companies who act "on behalf of" government agencies. Government agencies are delegating more and more of their responsibilities to private companies. Florida citizens are now invoking the "on behalf of" provision of to get a peak at records of the private companies that do business with the government. In response, the Florida Supreme Court in Sun Sentinel v. Schwab Twitty & Hanser developed a multi-factor test that required consideration of several factors to determine whether a private company was acting "on behalf of" the government agency.
The application of this test potentially requires extensive – and expensive – discovery before the court can decide whether a private contractor is acting "on behalf of" the government. As a result, it may seem cost-prohibitive for a citizen to gain even simple records from private contractors. Inevitable, this economic reality will deter many otherwise legitimate public records requests.
Schwab Twitty involved a private contractor that provided its services to a governmental agency. The Florida Supreme Court determined that the architectural firm was not subject to the public records law. Florida courts are beginning to acknowledge the marked difference between a company like Schwab Twitty and private companies that contractually assume responsibility for a governmental function. That is, while some private companies merely provide services to the government, others provide a service to the public in place of the government.
It makes little sense to distinguish between the records of a government agency providing essential services and a private company providing the same services. It makes no sense to allow private contractors to hide behind a test that requires the cost-prohibitive discovery before the public can review the records that would have been easily reviewable in the hands of the government. Such and outcome merely offers greater incentive to the government to privatize essential functions and avoid the mandates of the Act.
In Stanfield v. Salvation Army, the Salvation Army had agreed to administer the misdemeanor probation services for Marion County. The court concluded that the Salvation Army was not merely providing a service to Marion County; rather, it was providing a service in place of Marion County. In this situation, the court decided as a matter of law that the Salvation Army was acting "on behalf of" Marion County. No extended or protracted litigation concerning the individual factors was necessary.
More recently, the Lakeland Ledger requested certain records from Prison Health Services, a private company that had provided medical services to Polk County inmates. The records concerned the disposition of a lawsuit filed by an inmate's widow, alleging inadequate medical care. Like the Salvation Army, PHS and the county explicitly agreed that PHS's records, at least as they pertained to health care, were public records. Nevertheless, PHS refused to produce the records and insisted that the trial court could only decide whether PHS had been acting "on behalf of" the county after a prolonged discovery process.
Based on the contract, the trial court concluded that PHS had acted "on behalf of" the county and granted summary judgement. The court further held that in refusing to surrender the records, PHS had acted unlawfully, which means that an award of attorney's fees would be permissible. The Second District Court of Appeal affirmed both conclusions and awarded appellate attorney's fees. PHS has asked the Florida Supreme Court to review both rulings under its discretionary authority.
Stanfield and PHS make it clear that Florida courts will not permit public agencies to avoid the spirit of the Public Records Act by out-sourcing their important functions. If a private company agrees to provide government services in place of the government, it should be prepared to open up the relevant records for inspection.

Listen to your backyard birds sing your praises when your place this Heartwood Green and Blue Tweetsie Bird House in your garden. The arched sides and curled accents on this home bring a delightful look to your yard, enhanced by its bright color scheme. A pitched, shingled roof combines bold angles with the curves, and copper flashing on the ridge adds a bit of elegance. Lithe blue trim rests beneath the roof line, contrasting the bold green tone of the body. A 1.5" diameter entry sits in the center of the front panel, enabling a bevy of songbird species to use the shelter, and ventilation gaps help regulate the interior temperature. Drainage on the base of the unit aids in keeping the nest dry, while a hanging hook on its back allows it to be placed against a wall or post with ease. The cypress body naturally resists both insects and rot, for a durable home, and its convenient size allows bluebirds or wrens to use the piece. The green body enhances your foliage, and the blue trim easily captures attention. Offer shelter to your favorite avian characters with this Green and Blue Tweetsie Bird House. Made in the USA.

Fall in Utah is such a perfect time of the year for engagement portraits!
I absolutely loved all the colors of the leaves and the outfits Megan chose for their engagement session in Big Cottonwood Canyon — they fit the season so well! Spencer also had her laughing the whole time and we all a blast!
They were both so easy to pose (such naturals!), I didn't have to tell them what to do much at all! We mingled during their portraits and they just fell naturally into each other so well. I can't wait to share their bridal portrait session with you all soon!

ION Home: An Ancient Standby
BY MARY FONS ON MAY 25TH, 2016
An Ancient Standby
With more than 1,000 different species, bamboo has been providing material for food, construction, decoration, paper, musical instruments and virtually countless other uses since humans figured out how versatile this woody plant really was. Largely found in East Asia, Australia and the Himalayas, some bamboo plants can grow more than a meter a day. With so many ways to use it and a seemingly endless supply, the aesthetically pleasing bamboo plant has become a favorite material among humans – especially those with a flair for home decorating.
"I think people like the natural aesthetic that bamboo provides," says Chris Barrett, owner of Chris Barrett design. "Bringing nature indoors can bring a sense of calm and tranquility into the home." Barrett says that in the past few years, there's been a surge of interest in bamboo and other alternative materials – "As the world becomes smaller, people are becoming more interested in their neighbors."
And those "neighbors" have some pretty nifty ideas when it comes to working bamboo into the home. Ruth Graham, a publishing professional in New York says that to her, the beauty of bamboo is its versatility. "Bamboo is durable, attractive, versatile and relatively inexpensive," Graham says. "It can take on a vast array of looks with the application of lacquer, stain or varnish. Bamboo flooring and wall treatments are becoming really popular here in the city."
For those reluctant to go for a full-on Asian look, never fear. As Barrett notes, "Not all bamboo and Asian décor has to have an overbearing Oriental style. Much of Asian décor is characterized by clean lines and simple forms. As such, Asian décor blends very well with modern, simplistic decorating. I would recommend simple items, such as a large bamboo floor vase or a bamboo picture frame. Bamboo placemats and bamboo salad bowl sets are also a great way to incorporate the socially conscious material into your dinnerware."
Indeed, bamboo is one way to go "green" when beautifying your home. Since bamboo grows so fast, it's a seriously renewable resource. "In an age where logging is destroying many natural resources, bamboo can provide a viable alternative to hard woods," Barrett says. "Some bamboo species grow over 2 feet per day, making it one of the most highly renewable resources on the planet."

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the preservation of the historic Whitehall Farm. What started as a grim Christmas present in 1998 when it was announced that all 940 acres of Whitehall Farm would be auctioned off to the highest bidders quickly turned into an eight-week mission by Tecumseh Land Trust and the surrounding Yellow Springs community to raise over one million dollars to save the farm. Flea markets, rallies, concerts, silent auctions and benefit sales were organized. Bumper stickers, flyers and money jars popped up around town all to raise awareness for the cause. One man, Frank Staley, even went to such great lengths as to sell off his Wheaties box collection to raise money. Another citizen, seven-year-old Tyler Johnson, collected nearly $200 dollars in money jars placed around town.
Thanks to angel investors Dave & Sharen Neuhardt who bid on the whole property and bought all 940 acres, the farm was forever preserved through a conservation easement with Tecumseh Land Trust.
Thus today and for future generations crops still grow on the Whitehall Farm and cattle roam the pastures. The former farm manager's home is now the Tecumseh Land Trust office. Thousands of visitors from Ohio and beyond come to see the annual sunflower bloom on a portion of the farm along US 68 in September. Later this month, on April 20th and 21st, Dave Chappelle will host his third "Juke Joint" in one of the barns at Whitehall where local residents, renowned musicians, and Hollywood celebrities alike will join together in a musical celebration.
Celebrate 20 years since the preservation of Whitehall Farm!

Editorial Opinion
Canadians close their eyes to the staggering cost of elder care: Goar
By Carol GoarColumnist
Wed., Feb. 27, 2013timer3 min. read
Every table was packed. Graham Fox, president of the Institute for Research on Public Policy, knew the luncheon panel would be a sellout.
He introduced the topic — Paying for Elder Care — and invited the three speakers directly to the podium.
The first was David Baker, assistant vice-president of Sun Life Financial. He made the case for private long-term care insurance.
The gist of his speech was a wake-up call to baby boomers. Too few recognize they are on "declining trajectory" he said. "People need a more realistic expectation of what retirement might look like — it's not all cruise ships and golf courses."
When consumers stop deceiving themselves, the market for long-term care insurance will improve, Baker said.
For a knowledgeable audience, his presentation offered little insight.
The second panellist was Michel Grignon, director of the Centre for Health Economics and Policy at McMaster University. He made the case for a universal public insurance plan to cover long-term care.
His address, backed up by a 27-page study, was meticulously researched. He examined all of the options — private, public, a mixture of both — and concluded a new taxpayer-funded plan would be fairest and most efficient way of providing elder care.
The problem with Grignon's argument was his blithe assumption that Canadians would willingly pay for the program. "You can use sales taxes or value-added taxes, not just income taxes," he said, as if that somehow made the price tag — an estimated $1.2 trillion over the next 35 years — more palatable.
For those working in the field, a grand scheme without a credible funding mechanism amounts to a pipe dream.
The final speaker was Michael Decter, a Harvard-trained economist who spent half of his career in the public sector, serving as Ontario's deputy minister of health, chair of the Canadian Institute for Health Information and chair of the Health Council of Canada; and the other half as chief executive officer of an investment management firm.
Sensing the mood in the room, he pulled no punches. "It's a terrible time to talk about big new spending plans," he acknowledged. "But we have to retool the programs we've put in place. We're living longer, but we haven't adjusted our hospital insurance or pension plans."
The challenge is not insurmountable, he assured the audience. Germany has done it. Several other nations — Japan, Korea, the Netherlands and Luxembourg — are following the same path. But it will require a mix of public and private funding.
He envisages a framework like the Canada Pension Plan into which workers and employers would contribute. Ottawa would administer it and the provinces would ensure that home care and long-term care were there for Canadians as they aged.
He also believes unpaid caregivers should be eligible for cash benefits. "Within family structures, there's often someone who is dragged into providing care at no cost."
Not only would this be more equitable than a plan covering only institutionalized care (which 80 per cent of Canadians will never need); it would give contributors a reasonable expectation of getting something back for their money.
The leadership, Decter suggested, would probably have to come from one of the provinces. "Quebec usually plays that role, but it's financially strapped right now."

What all three speakers agreed on was that it is critical to get Canadians thinking and talking about this issue. The existing elder care system is breaking under the strain — the waiting list for a spot in a nursing home is approximately 20,000 in Ontario alone — and the baby boom hasn't even hit its heavy-need years. Home care is severely underfunded. And hospitals, the most expensive option, can't accommodate an influx of frail, elderly patients.
The red flags were obvious to everyone in the room. Outside, people went about their business, assuming the elder care system would be there when they needed it.

There are more ways than one to find love. You can use online portals, go for casual dating or go on AsianDate's Romance Tours to find the woman of your dreams. A Romance Tour is set up by professionals from AsianDate.com that takes foreign guys to specific countries where they attend social gatherings to meet Asian women that have been pre-screened by the same agency.
AsianDates puts together tours to Changsha or Shenzhen in China and also to Cebu, Philippines.
What happens on these tours?
1. Socials – like we described earlier, these are social gatherings created so a man can meet several women from China or the Philippines in one trip. It is a huge time saver and also a ton of fun with set activities and games. You don't need to do anything else but show up at these events. The ladies there are interested in meeting you and it is nearly impossible to not find someone since the ratio of male to female is usually 1:5.
2. A Tour of the City – This is a huge added bonus to the package. The guys get a tour around the city by a local expert and if you should want to you can bring a date to this tour as well. The tour visits great historical sites with iconic architecture, beautiful parks and so forth.
When do these tours happen?
The best idea is to contact the AsianDate customer service and make an inquiry. You can also visit the AsianDate.com site and get information about past tours. Maybe you can pick where you want to go from there.

1. Don't let price be a deciding factor.
As much as you should always consider your budget before making any financial decision, you should also look out for general contractors who below the average market price. Under-bidding raises some obvious red flags that you must not ignore. A professional and legitimate general contractor should have a business license, liability insurance and be paying taxes. All of these cost lots of money which can only be made up for through the income made from the business. So, if the general contractor you are considering is giving you a low quote, chances are, they are probably cutting back on the basic requirements of a professional general contractor. They probably are not paying their taxes, or they do not have insurance. In some other cases, they might be planning on charging you more as the job progresses which will cost you more than their initial quote. You should avoid general contractors like these.
When hiring a general contractor in Longwood, it is standard practice to pay some money as a down payment for the project. What you should never do, however, is to pay the complete cost of the project upfront. A legitimate contractor should have a credit and supplier accounts through which they can purchase materials to execute a project even if the client did not make full payment. If you come across a contractor asking that you make full payment for the project upfront, that is enough red flag to make you drop that contractor.
You could, however, create a payment schedule and release payment to the contractor in milestones when each stage of the project is completed. It is much better for you to pay as you go instead of paying the entire cost of the project at once.
A professional contractor in Longwood will provide you with a contract with details of the project and appends their signature on it. You should not hire a contractor that works on verbal agreements. A contract makes the obligation of both parties clear, and everybody knows exactly what is expected of them and when .
If you are in search of a general contractor in Longwood, look no further, Dehlinger Construction is your best option to execute your project professionally. Call 407 636 9322 today to get a free estimate.
