Comparing the Effectiveness of Self-Learning Java Workshops with Traditional Classrooms
By Eranki, Kiran L. N.; Moudgalya, Kannan M.
This study looks at the effectiveness of the Spoken Tutorial methodology, developed to provide IT training through the self-learning route (Moudgalya, 2011). Although a large use case of it is reported by Moudgalya (2014) with feedback from 25,000 people, no controlled study of it lias been carried out so far. As this methodology lias the potential to provide computer literacy to a large number of people and thus improve their employment potential, it will be beneficial to understand its strengths and ways to improve it.
According to Moudgalya (2014), self-learning capability is the main reason for the widespread acceptance of Spoken Tutorials. Self-learning seeks to put the learner as much as possible in control of the learning process. This mode of learning involves behavioral motivation and meta-cognitive understanding of social perspectives through self-learning (Pintrich, 1999). Self-learners proactively seek out information when needed and prepare to master them. Self-learners use obstacles as opportunities to succeed (Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons, 1990). Students' perception of self-learning shows both a motive to learn and subsequent outcomes of effort to succeed (Schunk et al., 2012). Self-learners select learning strategies to achieve desired outcomes based on the feedback received from learning outcomes and levels of difficulty (Hiltz & Wellman, 1997). Socio-cognitive learning models proposed by Zimmerman (1989), Boekaerts et al., (2005) have shown that learners performed better through Self-learning approach. On the other hand, studies on classroom show that students fail to interact with teachers to clarify their doubts despite the opportunity due to low self-esteem, which may be because of instructor/parent-dependence and poor self-control (Sclunid et al., 2014). Othman et al. (2014) have found that the teaching method based on self-learning enhanced students' skill of using application software in computing environments. Moreover, based on these results, they suggest that instructors should help students regulate their learning by applying self-learning instructional methods in e-learning environments.
Studies in computing education have shown differences among male and female student perceptions and learning outcomes: males seem to find programming easier, showing higher intentions and higher learning outcomes than female students (Guzdial et al., 2014; Alvarado et al., 2014; Carter & Jenkins, 1999). Gender differences have also been noticed among Asian and Indian learners across all social and socio-economic groups with serious issues on parental control and education delivery systems (Arnold, 2015). The above research studies imply that learners benefit from self-learning approach, by engaging them into planning, monitoring, adaptability and evaluation phases of learning.
Almost all the studies on self-learning have been carried out in a classroom setting. In the Indian context, it is important to make the self-learning feature available through workshops also. To the best of our knowledge, workshop based self-learning approach lias not been studied for its effectiveness. In the current study, we use the Spoken Tutorial approach to train learners using self-learning workshops (Moudgalya, 2014).
Although a lot of papers have appeared on the Spoken Tutorial method, its effectiveness is not established through a rigorous study, which is one of the main contributions of this work. In addition to this, we also have identified self-learning characteristics of workshop and classroom learners through this study. We also study the effect of gender on self-learning.

Don't you hate when it is just you at table, when you are cooking dinner just for yourself, and it comes out looking so damned good that you regret that no one else is there to see it?
I am always trying to show off when I cook dinner for Howard. Then when he is not home I like to branch out and cook something a little off the wall, something I think I would like but I am not sure about him. Often it is something vegetarian. Women do that a lot. If there is no guy around we just make veggie pasta or roast half a squash or something.
The other night when Howard had Lounge Academy I tossed together greens with red peppers and polenta. It is out of a Cooking Light magazine from a million years ago, back when Cooking Light was a decent magazine and gave you a hundred recipes an issue and all of them sounded good.
I piled it all into this Dollar Tree bowl and shook on some Parmesan and son of a sea cook!
It would never have looked this good if there were someone else here.
I remember when I made beef stew for Leonard Pennario, thinking, if Leonard were not here it would look better. Things always look better when it is just you! Because that is when it does not have to look good.
Things always turn out well when you are not trying!
We're still hoping for that pennario book soon! Don't forget you can always post pics of great looking dishes on fb. I'm pretty guilty of that myself LOL.

Q: How to Make a Reusable Function that Removes Duplicates I am trying to make a function as re-usable as possible.
I have a JSON file containing "products" for now.
export let productList = [
    {
        id: 0,
        productName: "Men's Merrel Hiking Boots",
        price: 65.00,
        brand: "Merrell",
    },
    {
        id: 1,
        productName: "Women's Merrel Hiking Boots",
        price: 65.00,
        brand: "Merrell",
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        productName: "Natural Walking Stick",
        price: 22.00,
        brand: "Fayet",
    }
]

In my case, I am trying to map through these products and return all the brands without duplicates. I know I can do that with this Set function:
function dedupeCheckboxOptions() {
    return [...new Set(productList.map(product => product.brand))];
}

This works, but I am struggling to figure out a way to make this more re-usable. I would think it would look something like this so I could also use the function to maybe return the prices:
function dedupeCheckboxOptions(fullList, item) {
    return [...new Set(fullList.map(product => product.item))];
}

However, this syntax is not correct. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Update:
function dedupeCheckboxOptions(fullList, item) {
    return [...new Set(fullList.map(product => product[item]))];
}

This looks promising from what @samathingamajig said, but when I pass through the productList from the JSON file and run the app (React app), it says the productList is undefined.

A: Use the bracket notation property accessor since you're using a variable.
Also, you don't need to pass in individualItem because that already gets defined when you set that as the name of the argument passed into the callback function.
function dedupeCheckboxOptions(productList, item) {
    return [...new Set(productList.map(individualItem => individualItem[item]))];
}

The Bank of Thailand imposed an 80-per cent loan-to-value limit on mortgages for homes worth more than ten million baht and for all second and more homes, effective January 1, 2019 for new lending, it said in a statement on October 4. The tightening of the mortgage lending rules is meant to curb property speculation due to growing concern about risks stemming from a prolonged period of near record-low interest rates.
This means borrowers for such properties will soon have to pay at least 20-per cent down payments, up from five to ten per cent currently, as the central bank seeks to prevent a bubble from speculation. Banks will also be prohibited from providing advances that exceed the value of a property, including so-called cashback loans.
Intense competition in the mortgage sector had led to a loosening of lending standards in the past, said Sakkapop Panyanukul, the director of the financial stability unit at the central bank. The monetary authority has seen instances of loan-to-value ratios exceeding 100 per cent, as well as purchases with no down payments.
"These macro-prudential measures should help reduce speculative buying and search-for-yield behaviour," Sakkapop said in a briefing in Bangkok, adding that it was "a preventive measure." Oversupply of condominiums in certain areas also remained high, he said.
For all other properties, the central bank's guidance is that financial institutions should not provide mortgages based on a loan-to-value ratio of more than 95 per cent for low-rise residential projects and 90 per cent for high-rise ones, which is still high by international standards, at least in developed countries. For example, Singapore in July this year capped the loan-to-value ratio for home loans to between 45 per cent and 75 per cent, depending on conditions such as mortgage tenure, age of the borrower or whether the borrower has already taken other loans.
All related parties, including financial institutions and property developers, have been summoned by the central bank to discuss the issue.
"This is not putting a [complete] break on the property sector," Bank of Thailand's assistant governour Wajeetip Pongpech said.
The average selling price of condominium projects launched in the past few years increased by about five to ten percent annually, Colliers International Group Inc. said in its second-quarter report for Bangkok.

Woodside to bring large-scale solar to the Burrup
Posted by Energy Projects & Technology | May 28, 2021 | LNG, Midstream, Oil & Gas, Power, Power Generation, Renewable, Solar
Woodside is investigating the supply of approximately 50 MW of solar energy to the Woodside-operated Pluto LNG facility on Western Australia's Burrup Peninsula.
The solar power would be supplied from the proposed Woodside Power Project, which could comprise more than 210,000 solar panels, making it one of the largest solar projects in Western Australia.
Woodside has undertaken a range of environmental, geotechnical and engineering studies and is progressing key stakeholder consultations ahead of seeking regulatory approvals for the power project.
Woodside Acting CEO Meg O'Neill said Western Australia is uniquely placed to capitalise on the state's world-class renewable energy resources and the willingness of industry, government and other key stakeholders to cooperate on new energy opportunities.
"Woodside's vision is for large-scale supply of renewable energy to existing and future industry on the Burrup Peninsula.
"We are lucky to have access to abundant natural resources, safe and reliable energy operations and both industry and government that are motivated to drive sustainable energy outcomes.
"Our work with Perdaman is another demonstration of the important role the gas industry can play in driving
the energy transition and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050," she said.
Perdaman opportunity
Woodside and Perdaman have announced their intentions to evaluate the supply of a further 50 MW of solar power from the Woodside Power Project to Perdaman's proposed urea facility.
Perdaman estimates incorporating solar power would reduce Perdaman's fuel gas consumption by approximately 50% while reducing emissions by at least 200,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent per year1, over 20 years. The initiative would also allow Perdaman to increase production of ammonia, which produces zero emissions at the point of use.
Perdaman Chairman Vikas Rambal said the initiative is strategically in line with Perdaman's commitments to greenhouse gas management and carbon neutrality by 2050.
"This exciting initiative with Woodside will further enhance the manufacturing of blue ammonia for supply to the Asian market and help position Western Australia as a first mover in implementing renewable energy in a world-scale downstream industry.
"We look forward to working with Woodside on our shared objectives for a lower carbon future," he said.

Law Notes
Parents - Do you know where your children are?
You think you had a bad day! Cheryl Rothering came home one day to learn that her child had been involved in a drive-by shooting. The victim was shot at point blank range with a shotgun causing extensive damage. If that was not enough to cope with, Ms. Rothering later received legal papers in the mail.
Keep off of my Land
What can happen if you intentionally trespass on someone's land after being warned not to do so? Just ask Steenberg Homes, Inc. A fellow purchased a mobile home from Steenberg Homes. He requested the mobile home be delivered to a remote site in the woods. The only pathway to the remote site was a snow-covered road with a very sharp turn.
It Couldn't Happen Here - Or Could it?
If you think Al Gore has it bad, listen to this story about poor Gerald Shroble. Jerry ran for Walworth County Supervisor in 1992 against Norman Prusener. I do not know Jerry or Norm, nor do I know their party affiliation. At any rate, after the votes were counted, it was determined that Norm won by twenty-four votes.
Here's a Tart Situation
Kerry Dieter and Donna Hermes purchased a new Dodge vehicle from a Dodge dealer in Milwaukee. They asked to have some accessories installed, specifically a tonneau cover, bug shield and rust proofing. When Kerry and Donna went to pick up their vehicle, they noticed some scratches on the vehicle as a result of the accessory installation.
Whose Land Is It?
In 1995, Ray and Betty Harwick bought a piece of land. At the time they purchased the land, they knew their neighbor's garage was sitting partially on the land they purchased. Sometime later, the Harwicks wanted to put in a driveway that slightly encroached on their neighbor's land. The neighbor initially agreed and then later said no.
A fellow by the name of Todd was sitting around watching TV with some buddies one day when the news reported that Todd was wanted for the attempted murder of a young fellow and that Todd was considered armed and dangerous. It seems this young fellow called the police and reported that Todd showed up at his house looking for the young fellow's sister.
Raise your hand if the only reason you are reading this article is because I put the word "breasts" at the top. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I should be ashamed for such a cheap ploy to grab attention, but this is important information.
State v. Reitter
In State v. Reitter, 227 Wis.2d 313, the issue was whether a police officer was required to advise an arrested defendant, charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, that the right to counsel does not apply to the administration of a chemical test under Wisconsin's implied consent statute.
Crimes and Fines
Every so often while perusing our state laws, I find some statutes that are interesting. In Wisconsin, there are two classifications of crimes, misdemeanors and felonies. A crime is conduct which is prohibited by state law and is punishable by a fine, imprisonment, or both. An activity which is prohibited by state law but is only punishable by a forfeiture is not a crime. However, it can still hurt the pocketbook.
Tell me if this would have happened in 1950. Brian Peters entered a Menards store in La Crosse, Wisconsin. A security guard saw Brian take a drill and put it in his shopping cart. Brian took the drill into the lumberyard and put the drill in the back seat of his truck.

Students Loan Trust ready to take on additional applicants
Date: Feb 25 , 2019 , 07:01
BY: Seth J. Bokpe
Nana Kwaku Agyei Yeboah, Chief Executive Officer of the Student Loan Trust Fund
The Students Loans Trust Fund (SLTF) says it is taking steps to ensure that it is not overwhelmed by the number of senior high students who will apply for loans from the 2020/2021 academic year.
With 145,000 students expected to enter tertiary institutions in the 2020/2021 academic year when the first batch of free senior high school (SHS) graduates will be ready for tertiary education, the Chief Executive Officer of the fund, Nana Kwaku Agyei Yeboah, said the SLTF was working with the Ministry of Finance and other relevant stakeholders to diversify sources of funding.
The SLTF is projecting that if 10 per cent of the projected number of students entering tertiary institutions applied for loans, in addition to continuing 27,000 students, the fund would need almost GH¢190 million annually to meet their needs.
If 15 per cent applied, the trust projects that about 74,250 would need financial aid, amounting to more than GH¢284 million, and if 20 per cent of the students, including continuing ones, applied, the fund would require almost GH¢379 million to meet the financial needs of the 99,000 students.
"We are working with the Ministry of Finance to get more sources of funding. The discussions are still at the early stages but we don't want to be overwhelmed by the avalanche of students who will be applying. We need to position ourselves to deal with it," Nana Yeboah told the Daily Graphic during the SLFT students' summit in Accra.
The summit brought together participants from the country's tertiary institutions to deliberate on the loans application process as well as the measures to make it sustainable.
"We are thinking ahead of time. The summit is one of many stakeholder consultations to get more ideas on how to be able to revamp the entire funding regime," he said.
He said recoveries had improved with the introduction of a number of payment options, including mobile money and an application (app) that made it possible to pay through Visa and Mastercard.
According to figures from the SLTF, loan recoveries increased by 57 per cent from GH¢17.5 million in 2017 to GH¢27.4 million in 2018, while non-performing loans (NPLs) reduced from 51 per cent in 2017 to 38 per cent as at the end of last year.
In 2018, the fund targeted GH¢30 million but collected GH¢27.4 million or 91 per cent. For 2019, the SLTF is targeting GH¢35.6 million collections from loan beneficiaries.
Nana Yeboah said a major setback in the past included difficulties in tracing borrowers in the informal sector and failure of some employers to deduct from loan beneficiaries monthly salary to repay the Trust Fund.
The Principal Manager of Operations of the fund, Mr Isaac Kofi Abbew Nkrumah, said as part of the considerations for the student loan, prospective applicants would need to ensure that both their institutions and programmes were accredited.
Guarantor
He said the fund had also removed impediments in the form of guarantors that made it difficult for students to apply for the loan.
Mr Nkrumah said unlike in the past when students had to get three Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) contributors as guarantors, the number had been reduced to one and the guarantor must have contributed for at least 36 months and be below 53 years.
The fund, he said, had also diversified the type of guarantors to include recognised religious bodies, metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies or corporate bodies, which were members of the Ghana Club 100 or listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
He said currently 44 assemblies had signed up to serve as guarantors.
The President of the National Union of Ghana Students, Mr Tinkaro Asare Osei, noted that although the services of the fund were helping students financially, there were concerns about the delay in payment.
He also said the fluctuations in the amount of loans approved per student made it difficult for them to plan their finances during a semester.

Mixed Up
An all-local Valentine's Day mixtape
You will never be more in love than you were when you were 16. Oh, sure. You'll likely have more significant relationships as you age than you did with your prom date. Perhaps you'll even get married, have kids and, if you're really lucky, grow old with someone. But for pure, emotionally reckless romantic abandon, nothing approaches the sweet, naïve innocence of young love. And there's no greater symbol of that love than the mixtape.
You remember those, right? Of course you do. Though the format has evolved over the years — loading up your sweetie's iPod, burning a mix to CD or, as was done in the old days, actually recording songs to cassette tapes —there is an art to a great mixtape. Essentially, you're relying on someone else's words to express your amorous feelings. But be careful. Go too heavy on sweet ballads and torch songs and you'll come off as sappy — or worse, creepy. Conversely, play too fast and loose and you risk sabotaging your message altogether. (For more on that, we suggest re-watching High Fidelity, or better yet, reading the book.)
Anyway, with love in the air and Valentine's Day just around the corner, we thought it only appropriate to compile an all-Vermont-music love-songs mixtape for the apple of our eye: you.
"Fairytale" by Maryse Smith
Like the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. So it follows that your choice of lead song is hugely important. Make it count. We're going with a favorite song by one of our favorite local songwriters, Maryse Smith, from her 2009 debut album, Is Becomes Was. There's a humbly charming quality about this tune that we hope reminds you of, well, us. It's quirky and imperfect, but that's why it's anything but.
"Plenty Hands" by Parmaga
We just set the tone with a pretty acoustic number. We need to be careful not to ruin the mood. At the same time, we don't want to slow it down too much. "Plenty Hands" from Parmaga's 2011 Ghost Pops EP is a good choice. It's mellow, but complex and interesting. No, it's not exactly a love song, per se. But there's no need to be overbearing … yet.
"Windows Down" by Lendway
OK, now we're getting a little overbearing. Leaning heavy on the indie rock? Maybe. But the closing track from Lendway's exceptional 2011 record, Going Places, is breezy, romantic and pretty … just like you. (Wink, wink.)
"Sheets" by Nuda Veritas
We're gonna bring it back down a little with this quietly brilliant gem from Nuda Veritas' 2011 record, Verses of Versus. It's a bit of a risk, since it's a devastatingly sad breakup song. But the hope is that you appreciate its uncommon artistic beauty and daring.
"Ain't That a B" by Japhy Ryder
After that downer, it's definitely time to lighten the mood. We need something playful and fun, so we're going with this cut from Japhy Ryder's 2010 effort, If the Haves Are Willing. It's funky and adventuresome. Plus, there's sort of a 1970s porn-music vibe which, um … is it hot in here?
"Do Over" by First Crush
Enough screwing around, it's time to get down to business. And this sweet, doo-wop-tinged ballad from Montpelier's First Crush cuts right to the core of our romantic heart. There are a few great boy-girl pop duos in Vermont who similarly make us swoon. So while we're at it…
"Hey Sunshine" by Let's Whisper
Quirky bedroom pop just doesn't get much better than this Smittens offshoot. Hey, sunshine. Will you be mine?
"Pumped Up Kicks" by Chamberlin
OK, we're kinda cheating here, since the song is originally by Foster the People. But Chamberlin released this acoustic version on a covers EP in 2011. It's a pretty popular tune, and not a love song. But we're hoping to show that we appreciate mainstream stuff while still having immaculate indie tastes. Admit it, you're impressed.
"No Reservations" by Split Tongue Crow
Love us, love alt-country. And we love this cut from Split Tongue Crow's self-titled debut. "I've got no reservations for you now…"
"Labor of Love" by Wooden Dinosaur
We wanted to go with something from their new record, but we couldn't resist this crushingly beautiful song from the band's debut, Nearly Lost Stars. Simply put, it's music to fall in love to. It also sets up the finale quite nicely.
"Wounded (You're So Fine)" by the Pants
If there is one song on a mixtape that is more important that the opener, it's the closer. It's the last song you'll hear, and — we hope — what you'll remember us by. So we're pulling out all the stops and going with the granddaddy of all local torch songs, from 1990s greats the Pants. Yeah, it's a deep cut and old compared to the rest of the songs here, which are all relatively recent. But some songs are simply timeless. And with any luck, by the time Tom Lawson and company get to the multiharmonied "You're so fine" at the transcendent final chorus, you'll be six digits into dialing our number — or texting, or whatever.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Facebook posts and emails of people who died could be accessed by a person designated in a will under legislation that Gov. Rick Snyder has signed.
Republican Rep. Anthony Forlini of Harrison Township says the measure signed Tuesday sets rules for how digital assets like pictures, emails, eBooks and music are bequeathed from one person to the next. It also allows digital information, including social media and website accounts to be treated like other assets after the owner dies.
Forlini says it wasn't easy to get tech companies and lawyers to agree on the rules.
The National Conference of State Legislatures says nine other states have passed laws addressing access to email, social media and other website accounts after the owner dies.

Exhibit 99.1
APPLIED THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES FDA ORPHAN DRUG DESIGNATION FOR AT-007 IN GALACTOSEMIA
NEW YORK, May 28, 2019 - Applied Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:APLT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel drug candidates against validated molecular targets in indications of high unmet medical need, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to AT-007, a central nervous system (CNS) penetrant Aldose Reductase inhibitor (ARI) in the late stages of preclinical development for the treatment of Galactosemia.
"We are pleased to obtain Orphan Drug Designation for AT-007 in Galactosemia, a devastating rare metabolic disease for which there are no approved treatments," said Shoshana Shendelman, PhD, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Applied Therapeutics. "Galactosemia patients are in desperate need of treatment options, and we are committed to advancing AT-007 into clinical development as quickly as possible due to the urgent unmet medical need. We look forward to taking advantage of the opportunities that Orphan Designation provides in order to bring this potential new treatment option to patients and families as rapidly as possible." Applied Therapeutics plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 biomarker based clinical study with AT-007 in Galactosemia patients later this year.
The FDA Office of Orphan Products Development grants Orphan Drug Designation to drugs and biologics that are defined as those intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases/disorders that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. The designation allows Applied Therapeutics to qualify for a number of incentives, including: seven years of market exclusivity upon regulatory approval, if received; exemption from FDA application fees for Galactosemia; and tax credits for qualified clinical trials.
About Galactosemia
Galactosemia is a devastating rare pediatric metabolic disease that affects how the body processes a simple sugar called galactose, and for which there is no known cure or approved treatment available. Galactose is found in foods, but the human body also naturally produces galactose on its own, so dietary restriction can't prevent complications of disease. It is estimated that the U.S. Galactosemia population is approximately 2,800 patients, based on newborn screening data identifying 2,500 infants through 2014, and the estimated birth rate of 80 patients per year. High levels of galactose circulating in the blood and tissues of Galactosemia patients enables Aldose Reductase to convert galactose to a toxic metabolite, called galactitol, which causes long-term complications ranging from CNS dysfunction to cataracts.
About AT-007
AT-007 is a central nervous system (CNS) penetrant Aldose Reductase inhibitor (ARI) in late-stage preclinical development for treatment of Galactosemia. AT-007 has been studied in an animal model of Galactosemia, which demonstrated that AT-007 reduces toxic galactitol levels and
prevents disease complications. Applied Therapeutics is planning a biomarker-based development program in patients with Galactosemia, based on the recently released draft industry guidance on drug development for low prevalence, slowly progressing rare metabolic diseases. The company intends to advance AT-007 into a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in 2019.
About Applied Therapeutics
Applied Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel drug candidates against validated molecular targets in indications of high unmet medical need. The company's lead drug candidate, AT-001, is a novel Aldose Reductase inhibitor (ARI) that is being developed for the treatment of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DbCM), a fatal fibrosis of the heart. The company plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 pivotal study in DbCM in 2019. Applied Therapeutics is also developing AT-007, a central nervous system (CNS) penetrant ARI, for the treatment of Galactosemia, a rare pediatric metabolic disease, which is expected to advance into a Phase 1 clinical trial in 2019. The preclinical pipeline also includes AT-003, an ARI designed to cross through the back of the eye when dosed orally, for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, expected to advance into a Phase 1 study in 2020.

San Francisco—Federal government support has been crucial to growth in the solar and wind industries. A new report by Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), Supporting Renewables while Saving Taxpayers Money, shows the government could sustain that support at much lower cost to taxpayers, by replacing current tax credits with cash incentives. For example, a taxable cash incentive for wind energy could deliver the same support to wind projects as current policy and almost halve the cost to taxpayers.
CPI's report shows that federal wind and solar incentives bridged roughly half the gap between the costs of renewable electricity generation and electricity market prices for wind and solar projects financed in 2010. Assuming that current federal policies are sustained, performance and technology improvements mean that the average wind project financed in 2013 would be nearly viable through federal incentives alone, while solar projects would still require some state support.
Changing federal policies from tax to cash incentives would save taxpayers money while maintaining the same level of support for the wind and solar industries. Current federal tax incentives are not a cost-effective way to support renewable energy because most project developers don't have enough tax liability. As a result, they employ tax equity partners at additional cost. With cash incentives, developers don't need tax equity partners; this makes the system more cost-efficient.
Extend the wind production tax credit and deliver it as a $21/MWh taxable cash incentive. This would have the same value to projects, reduce inefficiencies, and reduce government costs by almost half for every unit of clean electricity generated.
Give solar photovoltaic projects the option to take a 20% 1603 cash grant in lieu of the current 30% investment tax credit. This would simultaneously reduce government costs while better supporting solar energy projects.
The report bases its findings on analysis and modeling of renewable energy projects developed in the U.S. over the past four years, including project costs and timelines, project performance, and project financial structures. It is part of a growing body of CPI work on U.S. renewable energy projects, financing, and federal and state policies.

Female mutant ninja turtles, Vulverine and theVisible Woman feature in Hero(ine)s– a new exhibition on gender and comics
Home / Blog / News / Female mutant ninja turtles, Vulverine and theVisible Woman feature in Hero(ine)s– a new exhibition on gender and comics
Christopher Muscat, April 27, 2018 April 27, 2018 , News, Belgian, Brecht Vandenbroucke, Carlisle, Charlie Adlard, Cumbria, Finnish, Helene Becquelin, Hero(ine)s, Kaisa Leka, Kendal, Lakes International Comic Art Festival, Steven Appleby, Swiss, University of Cumbria, Vallum Gallery, walking dead
Being a comic hero has traditionally been the dominion of the male. This is about to be challenged through a new exhibition called Hero(ine)s featuring iconic comic heroes re-interpreted and reimagined in their female form.
The exhibition features more than twenty original artworks where comic artists have been challenged to reinvent their chosen male superhero in female form and contribute a narrative to explain their choice of heroine and their perceptions of how women are represented in the comic genre.
Hero(ine)s includes work by artists such as Steven Appleby, Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard, Finnish artist Kaisa Leka, Swiss artist Helene Becquelin and Belgian comic artist Brecht Vandenbroucke.
The exhibition will be open at the Vallum Gallery at the University of Cumbria campus, Carlisle from 7th – 21st May and will return again as part of the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal, Cumbria from 12th – 14th October 2018.
Since the early days of the comic genre, female protagonists have been few and far between. Approximately one in four female comic characters are female, and even those characters often have passive or minor roles. The Hero(ine)s exhibition aims to challenge, question and subvert our perceptions of the comic hero.
The exhibition, on show for the first time in this form and in the UK, is the result of a French collaboration between Lyon BD Festival and the renowned creator JC Deveney.
Director of Lyon BD, Mathieu Diez, is delighted to see the project he co-created grow internationally: "With the help and talents of comic artists our project has already helped raise consciousness about gender issues in comics. Hero(ine)s plays on role reversal in order to highlight the underrepresentation of women in the medium. The results can make us smile but, more importantly, encourage much-needed reflection on stereotypes, cliches and gender roles."
Julie Tait, Director, the Lakes International Comic Art Festival said: "Given the importance of fiction in shaping our identity and our relationships to each other and the world, the representation of women in comics is something we need to be conscious of and proactive in addressing."
"Women and female figures are underrepresented and quite often bound to stereotypes: women are an adjunct to the hero, as the helpful second, as the character to be rescued or taught, or as the target for seduction. Women often become solely passive subjects. We hope this exhibition will challenge both the comic industry and the audience to think again about the representation of women in comics."
One of the participating artists. Kaisa Leka of Finland, said: "The project really shows how in traditional comics men have all the adventures and fun while women clean the house or blink their eyes for the heroes."
Leka is working on a female version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. "The Turtles have cool weapons and exciting adventures that always end with them stuffing their faces with pizza. They represent the carefree 'boys will be boys' attitude. I want to show that the same laid back mindset is allowed for everyone, despite the gender."
Claudine Ripert-Landler, director of the French Institute in London says: "The hyperactive graphic novel scene in France tends to absorb and reflect major debates of our times. The debate over gender equality is an important one today and we are pleased to have helped this exhibition to come to the UK".
Participating artist Steven Appleby said: "I'm a trans-person and grew up wanting to turn into a girl. Much later in life, when I first went out dressed as a woman, it was like stepping through a door into another world. I was struck by how differently people responded to me. Particularly men. I think we should all try to imagine ourselves in another person's place, all the time, and see things from their point of view."
Nick Dodds, Senior Lecturer at The University of Cumbria, said, "The opportunity to host Hero(ine)s is a fantastic coup for the university. The theme of the exhibition, exploring gender roles through the eye of the comic artist, appears timely and pertinent given recent news stories. The 'alternate' take on the typically male comic-hero by the artists featured in the exhibition is done with wit, humour and a certain knowingness – asking the viewer to question cultural attitudes to gender representation, myth and narrative."
As part of the Hero(ine)s exhibition, there is an opportunity for students to take part in creator workshops led by international comic artists. An Instagram campaign #heroinesproject encourages comic enthusiasts to draw and share their own heroines. A selection of these drawings will be displayed at the Lakes International Comics Art Festival in October.
Hero(ine)s is a collaboration between the Finnish Institute in London, Institut Francais, Lyon BD Festival and JC Deveney, the Lakes International Comic Art Festival and the General Representation of the Government of Flanders in the UK. The project is organised on behalf of the European Commission Representation in the UK to celebrate Europe Day.

What was it about these two pieces of news that motivated Yisro to take action and to come and join the Jewish Nation? Was it the good news that G-d had bent history and nature to assist a fledgling nation? Was it the bad news of the sneak attack that brought out a pugnacious response? Perhaps it was the combination of both!
Seeing that the see split for a nation drove fear deep into the hearts of the nations of the world. The Jewish Nation was untouchable. It was not only the factor of strength or invincibility, but rather the point of respect. At that historical moment it was clear that the entire world is densely packed with meaning. There are no empty spaces, no vacuums.
Although, as Winston Churchill said, "The wheels of history grind slowly but thoroughly!", the full cycle of exile and exodus blossomed before the eyes of the entire world. There wasn't a nation or a person who was not shocked by the introduction of this concept. Everyone was reeling from the shocking news. It rocked peoples' categorical boxes and prior assumptions about the way the world worked. Finally after partially recovering from the aftershock of cognitive dissonance something equally startling happened.
"Along came Amalek.." and took a desperate and suicidal shot at the champions with the sole goal of injecting the venom of cool doubt into the veins of the world and it's emerging paradigm shift.
Years ago we took a group of American college students on their first visit to Israel to a moving experience at a settlement in the Gush Etztion Block. The historical presentation in the theatre was charted with pictures, and maps the long and arduous process of settlement by holocaust survivors of an arid and rocky unforgiving piece of real estate that eventually would blossom under their hands.
Then in 1948, with the UN partition declaration, a story of horror unfolded before our eyes. A woman described how she and others were ordered to throw hand grenades into bomb shelters where all the children were hunkering for safety and then with tears described how the enemy forces carried out the deed before their eyes. That deed which they the mothers had refused to do. As the house lights were turned on and the drama of the presentation concluded the screen was lifted, and revealed behind its facade the bunker where all those children were brutally murdered. We all moved with great awe and reverence and were drawn magnetically to stare at that remnant of recent history. It was a powerfully sobering and stirring event for all of us. We returned to the bus.
We had barely left the parking lot when some of us broke the sacred silence with a medley of silly sitcom ditties. A few of the leaders were shocked and angered at the immediate need to drown so foolishly the conscience and erase the impression of what we had all recently experienced so profoundly. One of the senior leaders, not to excuse, but to explain, told us that this is the product of a culture raised on flipping channels from the tragic to the sublime to the absurd and the ridiculous. One sees murders and ads for hamburgers and soft drinks and has a hard time eventually sorting out fiction from reality.
Yisro saw that the sea could split and the whole universe is brought into order almost with the raise of the conductors baton. Then, within a heartbeat, Amalek can mock the silence with a shameful slur. Yisro understood clearly that he cannot remain neutral anymore. The whole world and everyone on the bus that day was forced to take a stance. The task became enormous to simply hold the memory of what our eyes had just seen.

COC&PP – Feb 13, 1860 to Mar 21, 1862
The Central Overland California & Pikes Peak (COC&PP) Express Company was the parent company of the famed Pony Express and was formed by William H. Russell, Alexander Majors, and William B. Waddell on Feb 13, 1860 when they bought out the assets of Jones & Russell's express. They ran the first weekly government mail from Denver to Leavenworth on Aug 14, 1860 and from St. Joseph in early September. COC&PP assumed the Butterfield mail service on Jul 1, 1861. COC&PP sold out to Ben Holladay on Mar 21, 1862.
Mannheim Center [New York] April 6 (1860) to St. Joseph, Missouri; then by COC&PP with a partial strike of their provisional straight-line DENVER CENTRAL OVERD.

Chase's Express – 1857 to 1863
George. W. Chase began his express and "daily passenger wagon" operating over a route that ran from Yreka to Indian Creek and Deadwood, California. His office in Yreka was located in the Wells Fargo building. In July 1859, the camp at Greenhorn was added to the route. The Yreka Union newspaper of May, 1860 stated that Chase would connect with Wyck's Scott Valley Express at Indian Creek. In 1863 the express was sold to Charles Prindle.

Cherokee Express – 1854 to 1864
This small express operated between Oroville and the so-called Cherokee diggings across Table Mountain nearby, connecting with Wells Fargo at Oroville. Both Oroville and Cherokee had post offices by late 1854; thus, the need for an express between the two towns, a distance of only about 14 miles, doesn't make sense, unless the express was also providing the service of running the mail in and out of the surrounding mining areas. Captain Darrach, to whom virtually all the Cherokee Express covers are addressed, was the County Clerk for Butte County. Delivery to the County Clerk may have had something to do with mining claims; hence, the need to deliver quickly and directly to the addressee.

Cheyenne & Black Hills Express – Feb, 1876 to 1878
Part of a paste-up carried by Wells Fargo & Co. with their Belmont, Nev. Feb 2 and Austin, Nev. Feb 3 handstamps to Cheyenne Wyo. Feb 4 (postmark) then by the Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage Co's Express from Cheyenne to an unknown location in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. 1877 or 1878 use, based on partners in the business and dates of operation. It is not clear why the Cheyenne postmark would have been applied, as it appears as though the cover was carried privately by Wells Fargo and the Cheyenne & Black Hills Stage Co. The 3¢ rate (prepayment required) was effective from Mar 3, 1863 to Oct 1, 1883 when it was reduced to 2¢.
The Wyoming territorial legislature passed a bill in Dec, 1875 authorizing the establishment of a daily passenger and express service between Cheyenne and the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. William H. Brown and his son-in-law Frank D. Yates started to carry the mail to Spotted Tail agency in Jan, 1876. The first stage, or wagon, of F. D. Yates & Company started on Feb 3. On Feb 12, William "Stuttering" Brown purchased the entire operation including the mail contract on behalf of John "Jack" T. Gilmer, Monroe Salisbury, and Mathewson T. Patrick of Gilmer & Salisbury Stage Co. This operation was combined with a small stage line operating from Salt Lake City under the direction of Luke Voorhees. The Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage, Mail and Express route ran from the railroad at Cheyenne north to Fort Laramie and from there into Custer City in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. This mail run was called the Cheyenne & Black Hills Route. Deadwood was added to the line later in 1876. At some point in 1878, Patrick departed as a partner and the two surviving partners changed the name of the service to the Black Hills Express. The service was sold to Russell Thorp in May, 1883 who continued its operation until Feb, 1887 when it went out of business.
Cram, Rogers, & Co's Express – 1851 to Mar 27, 1855
Robert B. Cram of Shasta, Frank A. Rogers of Yreka, and Edwin Rowe of Weaverville formed the nucleus of this operation in 1851. Cram Rogers & Co. was the major express operator in northern California and southern Oregon during the early 1850's. They added partners A. E. Raynes (of Raynes & Company) and Richard Dugan (of Dugan & Company) in 1853. These later additions gave Cram, Rogers, & Co. control of the area from Jacksonville, Oregon to Shasta, California and to Crescent City, California. They connected with Adams, Gregory and Newell & Company until their failure on Mar 27, 1855.

Crary's Stage & Express Co. – Aug, 1873 to Winter, 1873
Leroy Crary ran a tri-weekly stage service between Nevada City and Dutch Flat, with stops at You Bet and Little York, starting in the fall of 1873. A letter express service connected with Wells Fargo at Nevada City. The service was sold to Broadwell's Stage & Express Line in the winter of 1873.

Crawford's Middle Fork Express – 1857 to 1859
Ellison Lassel Crawford formed Crawford's Middle Fork Express and is thought to have served the mining camps along the Middle Fork of the American River and its tributary, the Rubicon River, from a base at Greenwood. They connected with Wells Fargo at Greenwood.

Crooks Express – 1858 to Feb, 1860
A. D. Crook ran his express service from Yreka to the mines along the Scott and Klamath Rivers. Crooks is thought to have connected with Wells Fargo at Yreka.
By Crooks Express Scotts River from Klamath River to Yreka; by the US mails from Yreka, Cal Jun 16, 1858 to Alexandria, Virginia.

It is our intention to wind up mining as soon as possible, as the labor is hard and the chances distant…Just imagine the reminiscences you awake in ones bosom when you speak of being in love with two ladies, when our eyes have not enjoyed the sight of one for two and a half years…
Friend Miner,
With feelings of the deepest gratification I received your welcome letter and am thankful for the interesting news which it contains. I only regret that I cannot give you more general information concerning the Eldorado which our present isolated locality prevents us from doing. The only communication to Crescent City or Trinidad at the coast (100 miles) is by pack mules. This added to the danger of landing goods without harbors, makes provisions &c five times as high as in any of the other States. Owing to the mountains and bluffs I do not think we have five miles of wagon road in this Country. Our greatest facilities for traveling is bestride a mule, up hill and down, going at the rate of twenty five miles a day. In Oregon all the rivers flow through fertile flats which produce almost anything. At times when packing is cheap we get flour from there, which is equal to any we have ever seen. On small flats along the rivers we produce all the vegetables we require here. In all the northern Counties the population is very small and scattered over magnificent distances, even on mining rivers often from five to ten miles without a single inhabitant.
Klamath County was divided two years ago the northern portion forming Del Norte with Crescent City, containing about 500 inhabitants, as the county seat. This portion retains the original name, with a small mining hamlet, containing, say, 150 inhabitants. 35 miles below here, on the Klamath River, for the county seat, in and about these towns reside from 2 to 4 lawyers the county judge and sheriff. The salary of the county judge has been reduced from 3000$ to 1500$ a year. The office of sheriff in worth in the vicinity of 8000$ a year; he is elected after the real Whig and Democratic style; all prior sheriffs have gambled off the county funds and left the county in arrears. The office of the district attorney is worth so little that no lawyer would give bonds and take it. In fact our whole county organization is very imperfect, with very little legal business, nearly all disputes are settled by arbitration. The mines in this portion of the state are not paying on an average of One dollar a day for all the labor expended; notwithstanding some few do well, but that few is fast diminishing. It is our intention to wind up mining as soon as possible, as the labor is hard and the chances distant. The climate is mild – in the summer dry – in the winter wet, and at all times superior to any part of the Eastern States. The country is healthy and the water good, beyond description. Just imagine the reminiscences you awake in ones bosom when you speak of being in love with two ladies, when our eyes have not enjoyed the sight of one for two and a half years. Notwithstanding the disadvantages of California life, it would be preferred by persons fond of adventure to any other. From the best information, Southern California is far superior to this portion, resembling in a manner the Western States with a greater consolidation of money. To write a minute description would be repeating what we have written often, so by conversing with my brother he will give you all information.
As regards a man's chances here for advancement I have not one word to say, we cannot see one moment in advance. The brightest prospects are blighted, and day dawns on the darkest instantaneously, as far as future prospects go, "Truly this is a land of darkness". In some portions of this State the business of law is called good. I am much pleased to hear of your elevation to the bar particularly with the "honest", which I believe very few have ever accomplished. I must now conclude by assuring you that it would give me the greatest pleasure to meet and render you any service in my power, but the miners here are in no fixed place. I intend leaving as soon as possible.
With kind regards to all,
I remain your affectionate friend,
F. W. Miner, Atty at Law, Hiel Camp

Addiction doesn't end once you're clean.
Demi Lovato's recent overdose hit her millions of fans hard.
After six years of sobriety, Lovato revealed in her most recent single, "Sober," that she relapsed. About a month after, she was hospitalized for an overdose on the 24th. For many people who have never struggled with addiction, the quick ascend from a relapse to overdose in the span of possibly a few months is shocking. Many devout fans of Lovato were most surprised learning that her six years of sobriety came to an abrupt end. However, the complex disease of addiction never ends once someone is diagnosed.
The disease of addiction stays with those who struggle with it their entire lives. Considering Demi Lovato's struggles, the end to a six year sobriety is not uncommon. After five years of sobriety, the chances of relapsing are around 15 percent (Psychology Today 2014). However, when those who struggle with addiction also have mental illness(es) or experience traumatic life events, the likelihood increases. Lovato's struggle with bipolar disorder and bulimia put her risk even higher.
In her Youtube documentary released in 2017, Simply Complicated, Lovato reveals her struggles with drugs and her difficult relationship with food. Her struggle with bulimia caused her to fear food and diminished her self image. While her mental health was suffering, she was using drugs such as cocaine, adderall, and alcohol—just to name a few. Many of her close friends and family members reported her anger to be incredibly elevated during this time. She finally broke and entered rehab in late 2010, starting her journey in treating her bipolar disorder, bulimia, and addiction.
Once clean, her struggles with her mental health never left. But she simply, like many addicts, is forced to find a new way to deal with her hardships. Something that makes the struggle so incredibly difficult is that addiction literally rewires your brain and its natural reward system, making it so incredibly difficult to get clean (National Institute on Drug Abuse 2018). And if an addict relapses, they exponentially increase to the amount of use that was at their highest peak, causing their body to quickly overdose.
Many believe that those who fall into the hell of addiction are only able to blame themselves, but as Psychology Today states: "Addiction is a disease, not a free choice." For the many who judge the "crackheads" and "junkies," take a look in the mirror. While millions are able to socially drink and possibly experiment with drugs in their youth, others are unable to simply experiment in the use of alcohol or narcotics. This is not always by choice. Many are more prone to addiction from their genetics, or they use drugs to mask traumas and issues in their lives. In Lovato's case, her biological father also struggled with addiction and mental illness, increasing her likelihood to suffer from both. Also, in many lower-income communities, drugs are not a way of life but more of the way of life. The stigma is even more apparent in the workplace. In a 2014 study done by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Americans were more likely to have negative views of those with addiction than those struggling with mental illness. It was found that 62 percent of participants would work with someone with a mental illness compared to 22 percent of who would work with someone who struggled with substance abuse.
Addiction in this time is no longer solely alcohol or narcotics. Do a quick web search of "social media addiction," "phone addiction," or even "sugar addiction." The modern age is making it incredibly easy to feel a rush of dopamine, without much effort. Phones and electronics are forming how humans are developing, causing our brain's' reward system to not find many things pleasing anymore, leading many to turn to drugs for the rush. Addiction is no longer are rare as it once was, and something that no one can ever fully recover from. In 2016, it was found that 21 million Americans struggled with drug or alcohol addiction, shedding light on a disease now more common than cancer (National Geographic 2017). Demi Lovato's incredibly public struggle with addiction sheds light on how the struggle for addicts never ends. Hopefully, addiction will soon be viewed as what it is—a disease—not the stigma that surrounds it.

I am a technician, and I replace hundred of LCDs a year, mostly on PCs, but I have worked on Macs before.
I put in a new LCD in my macbook, turned it on, and got the mac chime and the apple logo and spinning wheel. After a few seconds, when it should go into the login screen, the display turns off (backlight and everything). I've tried booting into safe mode and booting off of the disk. It does the same thing both times. If I pull the hard drive it will stay on the white screen with question mark file forever. and if I boot into single user mode (terminal) it stays on. I thought it might have been a defective screen, so I sent it back and got another one. It does the same thing.
I bought the plastic unibody macbook off of eBay. It has a bleeding LCD due to a fall. I pulled the old LCD out and ordered a new one based on the part number of the old LCD and the model and year. The PN I pulled out is a B133EW04 and the new LCD is a LTN133AT09. It doesn't look like anyone has ever removed the bezel before. I'm pretty sure it had the original LCD in it.
I FIXED IT FINALLY!!! The working Samsung LCD PN for my 2009 Unibody Macbook turned out to be LTN133AT09-G02. I literally ordered 5 LCD's for this thing (2 came in working, but cracked from bad shipping) until I found one that worked.
So, was it the vendor, or you who chose the wrong manufacture LCD?
I ordered my first few LCDs based on what the vendor said was compatible with the old LCD PN in my macbook. None of them worked. Later, I got my hands on a similar year/model macbook and used the slightly different PN from this LCD. Then, the manufacturer sent me a compatible part that actually worked. It looks like the LCDs they were sending me weren't actually compatible with the original B133EW04. I needed the LTN133AT09-G02 version.
Thank you for the clarification it may prove to be valuable to other DIYers just starting this project. Seems that "compatible" sometimes means fits" not ""fits and works like an Originally Manufactured Part.
Have you tried running it on an external monitor? I'd say you have more of a Sudden Shutdown problem than just a bad LCD. There's a possibility that you have another hardware problem due to the fall. Try to run AHT on it? Try a D (diagnostic) boot or try a safe (shift) boot. Either of those may tell you what else is wrong.
The computer doesn't shut down with either the old or the new LCD (the fan still runs anyway). it seems to turn off the display with the new LCD. And with the old LCD the comptuer boots up and is usable, but the old LCD is bleeding through in a couple of places.
UPDATE: I just replaced the LCD cable because it had gotten damaged from me pulling the LCD in and out so much. Still same symptoms. Old bleeding LCD works fine. The new one just shows apple logo and then turns off the display. I tried booting up with the old LCD and setting the resolution really low and then putting the new LCD in and still nothing.
Do the new and old LCD part numbers match as to compatibility? Since the external monitor works your GPU/logic board are OK. Since the old display works the inverter/cables seem fine - the questionable part is the LCD. Have you talked with the Vendor? Did the vendor, or you, identify the LCD you purchased as working with your machine?''- For future reference you posted a Comment in the place where only Answers belong.'

The First Division was a division of the Football League between 1888 and 2004 and the highest tier in English football until the creation of the Premier League in 1992, when the highest division in the reduced Football League became the second tier in English football. Since a 2004 rebrand it has been known as the Football League Championship.
For more details on this topic, see Football in England § History of English football.
The Football League was founded in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. It originally consisted of a single division of 12 clubs (Accrington, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Derby County, Everton, Notts County, Preston North End, Stoke (now Stoke City), West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers), known as The Football League. When the League admitted additional members from the rival Football Alliance in 1892, it was split into two divisions.
For the next 100 years, the First Division was the top professional league in English football. Then, in 1992 the 22 clubs making up the First Division elected to resign from the Football League and set up the Premier League. The Football League was consequently re-organised, with the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions now renamed the First, Second and Third respectively. Thus, the First Division, while still the top level of the Football League, now became the second level of the entire English football league system.
The First Division was renamed as the Football League Championship prior to the start of the 2004–05 season, as part of a league-wide rebrand.
As of the 1947–48 season making 7 appearances for their club during the season was not enough for a player to qualify for a winners medal.
As of the 1975–76 season players had to make 14 appearances for their club during the season in order to qualify for a winners medal.

The feed back we receive from our students and their parents is consistently positive and our deposit return rate for 2010, 2011, 2012 , 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 was 100%.
We listen to what students and their parents tell us matter to them which is why we have installed SKY TV, accept debit and credit cards, complete all documentation on-line and no longer ask students' parents to routinely undergo formal external credit checks before we grant a tenancy.
It has been a pleasure renting from you, and I will definitely miss living in such an immaculately presented house (and the TV in my bedroom)!
We will never find another landlord like you, thanks for being brilliant !!
