Named after our street location in the Mission District of San Francisco, 826 Valencia was founded in 2002 by educator Nínive Calegari and author Dave Eggers. The idea was simple: they wanted to support overburdened teachers and connect caring adults with neighborhood students who needed a little help with their writing.
Nínive Calegari
The start...
They landed a spot at 826 Valencia St. and set to work. But because the space was zoned for retail, they needed to open a store. They looked at the ship-like structure of the space, and decided to open a pirate store that would purvey supplies to the working buccaneer — and books by our young authors, of course.
Behind the store, a crew of intrepid volunteers built a Writing Lab. Word spread quickly, and soon every chair was filled with students working on their writing with our trained tutors. Due to the success of the model, a separate organization called 826 National was founded in 2008 to help other cities launch their own successful writing and tutoring centers. We are now one of eight official 826 chapters in the United States, inspiring dozens more like-minded groups around the world.
Students served last year
Active volunteers
826 chapters nationwide
MilestonesThe
826 Valencia opens. The sign outside reads "Homework help. Mops. A pufferfish." People come in…
We publish the first 826 Quarterly, award our first college scholarship, receive California's Excellence in Education Award from Senator Barbara Boxer, and open a Writers' Room at Everett Middle School.
The first ever Young Authors' Book Project, Talking Back, features students sharing advice for teachers. Inspired by our model, 826NYC opens, beginning a trend that six other cities will follow.
The staff go to the Virgin Islands to teach our Storytelling and Bookmaking Field Trip model to educators. Anyone in a tropical locale want to invite us to do that again?
Robin Williams writes the foreword to the Young Authors' Book Project, Home Wasn't Built In A Day, and visited the authors' school to encourage and inspire their writing.
We celebrate our 5th anniversary with a community festival highlighting its students, families, and volunteers. A Mayoral Proclamation declares 826 Day a holiday.
826 National is born to support the 826 network. Dave Eggers wins a TED prize.
We hold the first annual Great San Francisco Personal Statement Weekend, supporting hundreds of college-bound students. Our students write letters to President Obama, published in Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country, and notice him holding it in a photograph in the New York Times!
826 National wins the Innovations in Reading Prize from the National Book Foundation.
Captain Blue still thinks kids can't write stories. King Carl goes to Bali and probably has fun. Who knows? He never calls. He never writes. We order Captain Blue's marshmallow and sardine pizza and get on with our lives.
826 Valencia celebrates its 10th anniversary with a year of celebrations, including a Write-a-thon and a "best of" edition of the 826 Quarterly.
We expand our programming by launching an after-school program at Buena Vista Horace Mann K–8. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan pays us a visit.
We unveil a new Writers' Room at Mission High School and announce plans to expand with a second center in the Tenderloin.
Thanks to an enormous community effort, we win the Bay Area Impact Challenge, a $500,000 grant from Google for our Tenderloin Center. We also open a new Writers' Room at Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8.
The 826 Valencia's Tenderloin Center opens its doors, and we serve more students than ever before thanks to new summer programs, partnerships, a growing staff, and 1,200 volunteers!
Our 15th anniversary! 826 Valencia serves over 7,000 students, and we celebrate with our biggest party yet—a giant community block party on August 26.
Yes, this timeline goes into the future. We're excited to open a third center in Mission Bay! Join us for the adventure!

What I learned in fintech and insurtech in 2019
What I learned in fintech and insurtech in 2019. Opinionated and probably 50% wrong:
https://wagestream.co.uk/
The average person is still struggling to make ends meet, ten years after the last recession. This has a few consequences:
Employers are taking more responsibility for the financial wellness of their employees. The feature that grabbed the most attention in 2019 was income streaming: the option to get paid while you earn rather than waiting for payday. This sector took off in the US in 2019 (Earnin, Payactiv etc), UK is picking up (Wagestream*, Salary Finance), continental Europe still very early. However the scope here is much broader: financial coaching, budgeting, saving, investing, pensions, life insurance.
Gen Z are actively using apps to help them get control of their finances such as Cleo* and Yolt. These are enabled by open banking and aggregators such as Plaid, but what really matters is how they relate with their users: conversation, personality and intelligence. Features such as auto-save and overdraft protection are just that — features.
Regulators have killed off most of the last generation of payday lenders but the underlying sub-prime and near-prime need for credit hasn't gone away. Credit card debt in UK and US remains very high, way higher than debt from any other source of short term lending such as Amigo Loans or Klarna.
Neobanks have had a massive 2019, despite a press narrative which has shifted from supporting the underdogs to looking for negative stories. Even the followers have had a big year, although consolidation eventually has to happen. In the end cost leadership will count.
European Insurtechs such as Zego*, Wefox, Alan, Cuvva and Luko have started to show significant traction and high growth, leading to some big funding rounds, although some way behind the big US players still.
Banking in the UK has seen AISP usage take off, but PISP remains nascent. PSD2 in other large European companies remains very early
We didn't have a big fintech exit (other than Assurance multi-billion sale to Prudential) and valuations of public lending fintechs have continued to struggle (although payments companies have done very nicely).
Companies are struggling to get control of credit card spending in an era where invoices have been replaced by dozens of SaaS tools, Google/Facebook spend on cards, self-managed T&E and contactless payments. This has led to the rapid growth of dedicated spending cards such as Brex, Pleo and Spendesk; and of SaaS/spend monitoring tools such as Productiv, Pepper and Cleanshelf .
Clearbanc has taken off by offering easy credit to startups. To build a good credit model you first need $100M of losses…
VC firms seeing the sheer size of the mortgage market are willing to bet big that startups can disrupt it. The positives are that an underserved 'niche' in mortgages can still be many billions of dollars, and that the cost inefficiencies are small in bps but high in €. The negative is the difficulty of getting to a competitive cost of capital, and that it takes years to demonstrate the performance of your new ML-powered underwriting model.
The least said about the politics the better.. .

Return to WSC Case Menu.
Case I - S-51-96 (AFIP 2593311)
Signalment: Free-ranging, male, pink river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis).
History: This animal was captured in the course of a radio-tagging field study conducted in Lago Mamiraua, Brazil.
Gross Pathology: A heavily vascularized, multinodular, pedunculated mass was attached to the right eye. It was firmly adhered to, and appeared to arise from, the conjunctiva of the dorsal palpebrum as well as the medial and lateral canthus.
Contributor's Diagnosis and Comments: Conjunctiva: Conjunctivitis, proliferative, chronic-active to granulomatous, diffuse, marked, with mucosal hyperplasia and intralesional fungal elements compatible with Rhinosporidium seeberi.
The polyploid conjunctival lesions seen in this dolphin are "classic" examples of an infection with Rhinosporidium seeberi. Although a number of different blocks were used for glass slide recuts, all slides demonstrate the developmental stages of R. seeberi. These are readily identified by specific histologic features. These are:
1. Trophocyte (juvenile sporangia)
- averages 10-100 microns
- has a 2-3 micron unicellular wall
- each has a central nucleus with prominent nucleolus
- granular to flocculent cytoplasm
- no mature endospores
2. Intermediate sporangia
- are larger than trophocytes
- these lack a nucleus
- have thicker, bilamellar walls
3. Mature sporangia
- hallmark of R. seeberi infection
- average 100-300 microns diameter
- "zonation" of mature and immature endospores
- mature endospores have "eosinophilic globular bodies"
Little is known about the epidemiology of this organism. Although generally considered to be a fungus, its taxonomy is still uncertain and it has yet to be cultivated on synthetic media. R. seeberi typically induces the formation of chronic inflammatory nasal polyps. Conjunctival lesions have been reported, but these are far less common than respiratory lesions.
This organism has been studied most intensively in man, although animal cases have been documented and described in horses, mules, cattle, dogs, a goose, 2 ducks and, most recently, in 41 swans from a lake in central Florida. This outbreak lends support to the hypothesis that R. seeberi may be an aquatic organism.
Case 30-1. Skin. A mature sporangium of Rhinospordium seeberi is discharging some of its endospores to surface of the skin. A small portion of an immature sporangium is at the edge. It contains only floccular eosinophilic material. 20X
AFIP Diagnosis: Stratified squamous epithelium and loose connective tissue: Inflammatory polyp, with moderate chronic-active inflammation, multifocal hemorrhage, epithelial necrosis, and multiple fungal sporangia, pink river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), cetacean, etiology consistent with Rhinosporidium seeberi.
Conference Note: Based only on the morphology of the infecting organism, the differential diagnosis might include coccidioidomycosis and adiasporomycosis. However, the spherules of Coccidioides immitis are generally smaller than rhinosporidial sporangia, and they contain endospores that are generally the same size and shape throughout the spherule. Chrysosporium parvum, the etiologic agent of adiasporomycosis, is larger than Rhinosporodium, has a thicker wall, and does not reproduce by endosporulation.
Rhinosporidiosis occurs sporadically worldwide, but is hyperendemic in India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia.1,2 Infection is associated epidemiologically with rural and aquatic environments. A recent study from India suggests that Rhinosporidium seeberi is a form of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, which was isolated from water samples in which human patients with rhinosporidiosis were bathing.8

Case II - 94-114 (AFIP 2453724)
Signalment: 8-week-old, female, New Zealand White, rabbit.
History: Incidental finding in a rabbit infected with Campylobacter jejuni.
Contributor's Diagnosis and Comments: Kidney: Nephritis, interstitial, chronic, moderate, with gram positive intraepithelial protozoal organisms - Etiology consistent with Encephalitozoon cuniculi.
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is an occasional, usually asymptomatic, parasite of rabbits. The primary importance of the organism in rabbits is interference with the interpretation of experimental data. In other species (dogs, cats, and wild carnivores) the organism causes clinical, often fatal encephalitis and nephritis.
The organisms are most commonly found in the renal tubular epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells within the central nervous system.
Differentiating Encephalitozoon cuniculi from toxoplasmosis can be accomplished a number of ways. Encephalitozoon stains poorly on H&E, is gram positive, and its spores are birefringent; Toxoplasma stains well on H&E, stains poorly with Gram stains, and is not birefringent.
Case 30-2a. Kidney. Tubule whose lumen is filled with necrotic epithelial cells that contain numerous but vague eosinophilic organisms in the cytoplasm. 40X
Case 30-2b. Kidney. Numerous microsporidian organisms (Encephalitozoon cuniculi) in a degenerating tubule. Gram. 40X
AFIP Diagnosis: Kidney: Nephritis, tubulointerstitial, acute to chronic, multifocal, moderate, with tubular dilatation, tubular epithelial necrosis, and intracellular and extracellular protozoa, New Zealand white rabbit, lagomorph.
Conference Note: Transmission of Encephalitozoon cuniculi, a microsporidian, is primarily via ingestion of urine containing the infective spores. Transplacental infection has also been reported.3 In addition to the susceptible species listed above, infection occurs in rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and humans.3 At least three strains of E. cuniculi have been identified based on host specificity and other criteria.4
Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection of mice is used as a model of human microsporidiosis. Mouse strains differ greatly in their susceptibility to infection, with C57BL/6, DBA/1, and 129J being highly susceptible, and BABL/c, A/J, and SJL strains being relatively resistant.4 Athymic (nu/nu) mice experience high mortality with infection.

Case III - Mississippi State University (AFIP 2376327)
Signalment: Adult, female, cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus)
History: This animal was found alive but weak, depressed, thin, and easily captured.
Gross Pathology: The animal was emaciated, flea infested, and had several ticks. The peritoneal cavity contained approximately 10 ml of serous fluid. The spleen was 2x2x6 cm, and multiple disseminated pinpoint to 1 mm white foci were visible on the capsular and cut surfaces. The liver had similar foci. Mesenteric, hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes were enlarged, gray, and friable. Several tapeworm cysts were noted in the peritoneal cavity and attached to the liver and pleura.
Laboratory Results: Francisella tularensis was isolated.
Contributor's Diagnosis and Comments: Disseminated multifocal and coalescing necrotizing splenitis.
This case represents a classic case of tularemia. Care should be taken by prosectors as this condition is zoonotic.
Case 30-3. Spleen. There is extensive liquefactive necrosis of paranchyma with vague, basophilic, intralesional bacterial colonies (center). 20X
AFIP Diagnosis: Spleen: Splenitis, necrotizing, acute to subacute, multifocal to coalescing, severe, with necrotizing vasculitis, fibrin thrombi, and numerous colonies of coccobacilli, cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus), lagomorph.
Conference Note: Gram stains demonstrated that the coccobacilli are gram-negative.
Tularemia (deer fly fever, rabbit fever) is a zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution, affecting more than 100 species of wild and domestic mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. It is primarily a disease of wild rabbits and rodents and -shares many key features with endemic plague, with which it was originally confused in a 1911 outbreak in ground squirrels in Tulare County, California.
There are two antigenically similar strains of F. tularensis:
1. F. tularensis subsp. tularensis (Type A) occurs only in North America, where it is the most frequently isolated strain (70% of human cases). It is associated with tick borne tularemia in rabbits, and produces the classic disease in humans.
2. F. tularensis subsp. palaearctica (Type B) occurs throughout the world (except Australia and Antarctica), and is less virulent than Type A. It is associated with mosquitoes and rodents, and is frequently linked to waterborne disease of rodents, particularly beavers and muskrats.
Transmission of the disease may occur by a variety of routes including direct contact of the organism with intact or abraded skin or mucous membranes, ingestion or inhalation of the organism, or by percutaneous inoculation via arthropod vectors. As few as 10 bacilli may induce disease when inhaled or injected, whereas a much larger dose is required for oral infection.
Ticks are reported most frequently as the source of human infection in the United States, followed by rabbits. Two seasonal peaks are associated with tularemia: one during tick season, the other during the hunting season, associated with contact with infected rabbits. Dermacentor variabilis (dog tick), D. andersoni (wood tick), and Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick) are considered the most important tick vectors in North America. Both transstadial and transovarian passage of F. tularensis have been documented, making the tick both a vector and a reservoir of infection. The deerfly, Chrysops discalis, is also an important vector in North America.
Clinical signs are those of an acute septicemia and vary with the route of infection, the strain of the organism, and the species involved. Rabbits and rodents are often found dead without premonitory signs. In cats, tularemia is associated with nonspecific clinical signs, including pyrexia, anorexia, lethargy, lymphadenopathy, oral ulcers, hepatomegaly, and icterus.2

Case IV - 90-4468 (AFIP 2327342)
Signalment: 2-year-old, male, Doberman Pinscher, canine, named "Mr. Blue".
History: This dog had a history of chronic keratoconjunctivitis and generalized bilaterally symmetrical hair loss.
Gross Pathology: Bilaterally symmetrical hair loss.
Laboratory Results: Antinuclear antibody: 1:20
Baseline T4: 0.2 (normal 1.0-4.0)
Contributor's Diagnoses and Comments:
Haired skin: Diffuse superficial and follicular orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis
Multifocal follicular atrophy with melanin clumping
Multifocal, perifollicular melanophage accumulation
Mild superficial perivascular hyperplastic dermatitis
Condition: Color mutant alopecia.
These sections demonstrate the classic histologic features of color mutant alopecia in the dog: diffuse superficial and follicular orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis; dilated keratin-filled follicles; multiple melanin aggregates within hair shafts and bulbs; occasional fractured hairs; diffuse, moderate adnexal atrophy; and scattered, generally perifollicular, deep dermal and pannicular aggregates of melanophages. In this case, there is a minimal superficial perivascular dermatitis with mild epidermal hyperplasia. Most sections have one or more anagen hair follicles, though many follicles are atrophied. Some sections contain intrafollicular accumulations of inflammatory cells. Arrector pili muscles are present, but not enlarged or vacuolated. The low baseline T4 level might indicate, but is not diagnostic for, hypothyroidism. There are no histologic changes to suggest hypothyroidism and it is unknown if the dog was on thyroid medication at the time of biopsy. Besides the blue Doberman, this condition can be seen in fawn Irish Setters, red and fawn Dobermans, and other "blue" varieties of various breeds.
Case 30-4. Skin. There is hair follicle atrophy with clumping of melanin in one follicle accompanied by mild intrafollicular hyperkeratosis. 4X
AFIP Diagnosis: Haired skin: Follicular atrophy, ectasia, and hyperkeratosis, diffuse, moderate, with intrafollicular melanin clumping, peribulbar melanophages, and mild multifocal superficial lymphoplasmacytic and eosinophilic dermatitis, Doberman Pinscher, canine.
Conference Note: This hereditary syndrome is associated with a color-dilution gene, but it is not known if the gene is directly responsible for initiating the skin disease or if a linked gene codes for the associated follicular changes.2
Clinically, this disease is characterized by a gradual onset of a dry, dull, brittle, poor-quality hair coat. Hair shafts break, and regrowth is often poor. Follicular papules and comedones may develop, and chronic cases may exhibit hyperpigmentation.
The clinical differential diagnosis of color mutant alopecia should include other generalized atrophic or dysplastic diseases affecting the hair follicle including hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, canine follicular dysplasia, and acquired pattern alopecia.2

Get My Refund
About Get Ahead Colorado
Get Ahead Colorado is a program of The Piton Foundation that provides resources to families in Colorado who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, free tax preparation and other resources that help move families forward.
Our outreach campaign
Get Ahead Colorado is the largest and longest operating Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) public information campaign in the nation. For more than 30 years, The Piton Foundation has conducted the Tax Credits for Working Families Public Information Campaign, now known as Get Ahead Colorado, to increase the number of eligible families receiving the EITC, the Child Tax Credit and other valuable credits that help families get ahead. Tax credits, particularly the EITC, are proven to be effective tools for improving the financial well-being of families.
Our campaign uses three overarching strategies to build awareness about the EITC and free tax help.
Community Partnerships • Business Outreach • Marketing & Advertising
The Piton Foundation
For more than 40 years, The Piton Foundation, which is part of Gary Community Investments, has been committed to improving the lives of Colorado's low-income children and their families by increasing access to quality early childhood and youth development opportunities and fostering healthy family and community environments. The Get Ahead Colorado's EITC campaign helps Piton achieve its mission.
Tax Help Colorado
Tax Help Colorado free tax sites, known as Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Sites, are located across the state and offer free tax preparation assistance to families who earn less than about $56,000 a year, helping to ease the burden of commercial tax preparation costs on low-wage earners. The program was launched in 2007 to help link even more Colorado families to valuable tax credits such as the EITC and Child Tax Credit.
Through strong partnerships with trusted community organizations and the use of innovative technology, Get Ahead Colorado is able to target and reach families who can benefit from valuable resources. Check out our 2019 Campaign Report.
We work with more than 400 community partners throughout Colorado
We disseminate more than 750,000 pieces of collateral each year
We reach an estimated 300,000 people with our digital assets

Drew Joseph helps Timebank members think creatively about food to prepare appealing bag lunches for kids. He also brings to the work his sensibilities as a therapist.
"I have a lot of tricks of the trade," Drew says. He would like to spend time with Timebank members "playing with food and having fun," while brainstorming and trouble-shooting with them. He wants to show them how to get the results they want for their families' dietary needs and preferences and how to feel empowered to approach food creatively. He also has many shortcuts to share that save time in preparation. Drew's offer targets families with children, but really, he says, this is for adults, too.
Timebank member Tina Slater and her adult daughter Jessie were excited by the recipes and other ideas from a session they had with Drew. He offered them many combinations for roasted foods that could go on a pita bread "pizza" of sorts. "Roasted pumpkin and maple syrup?" Tina asks. "I never would have thought of that!" She was inspired by all the possibilities he offered for dressing up leftovers. Yesterday's apple pie topped with yogurt and raisins would be great in a bagged lunch. Cold pasta or mac and cheese become new and interesting when topped with peas, pumpkin seeds, baked tofu cubes, chopped veggie burger, or avocado. So it's helpful to keep these ingredients on hand, ready to go.
Tina says she has been inspired to create a greater variety of creative meals since the session with Drew. For lunch, she has fixed Salad Niçoise and leftover quesadilla wedges, served cold with garnishes. She has made more stir fries for dinner and a frittata for breakfast (onion, kale, and grated sweet potato).
Jessie was also inspired and prepared the acorn squash and red cabbage that had been languishing in the vegetable drawer. (She filled the squash with a sort of cabbage/curry Waldorf salad.) She has also been roasting more vegetables – a good alternative to the typical lunch side of celery and carrots. Jessie makes a large batch to keep in the fridge and use with multiple meals.
The kids agreed to take on some of the responsibility for meal preparation, and it turns out that they are enjoying that. They are now more invested in trying new things, including fruits and vegetables, and they are also more motivated to eat the food that they help to make.

Recently I took a trip that put me in the Reagan International Airport in Washington, D.C. twice. I was so pleasantly surprised with the amount of gluten-free options available for snacks or a meal in a pinch! Eating gluten-free at DCA/Reagan International Airport is easy.
Everything shown in the following photos is available in the walk-through, self-service area of Terminal A where Southwest, Air Canada, Frontier and Sun Country gates are located. Simply pick what you'd like from the shelf and go to the self checkout to ring it up. While it was very busy while I was there, I never waited to use one of the checkout terminals. So simple!
Plenty of cookie options, including Lucy's and WoW!
I am a bit obsessed with these Element rice cakes! I can buy them locally at Sprouts, but it was nice to see them in the airport.
My favorite finds in the airport were the fresh fruits. Look at this! Not just an apple, but more than one variety of apples. There were oranges, bananas, even fresh pears!
I haven't tried them yet, but did look longingly at the R Bars.
A few other basics, including chips from The Better Chip and Chickpeatos, which are another favorite travel snack.
Traveling gluten-free is so incredibly possible AND there is no reason to go hungry. All of these snacks, in addition to what you've packed from home should keep you nourished and happy for your travels!

THOSE CHICKPEAS ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER! So SO SO SO SO good but… Also VERY addictive – thus I tend to over eat them and then = STOMACH ACHE! haha!
I must be in a different terminal at Reagan. I can't find anyting gluten free except cookies. No meal options.
The photos in the post were taken in Terminal A.


We all know the classic quote from Mies Van Der Rohe: "less is more". The design of this new bungalow embodies the architect's statement and proves a budget does not and should not mean bad design. Despite this constraint, the architects have effectively taken advantage of the site's qualities to propose a modern living space adapted to the needs of the growing family that occupies it.
The existing bungalow was reconfigured to give importance to the kitchen making it the hub of the house. The positioning of other rooms remained intact. The architect's intention was to emphasize the qualities already present in the house while solving the air conditioning and lighting problems of the previous plan. The roof was manipulated to generate openings that improved the house's interior ventilation while offering views of the surrounding treetops.
The size of the living spaces has been optimized in order to offer the inhabitants maximum comfort and freedom of movement. These spaces benefit from a large amount of light passing through the black aluminum framed window that outlines views of the garden. A generous wooden deck extension serves as a transition between the interior and exterior spaces of the house while providing additional usable space for the family.
Allen Key House can truly be considered as an architectural minimalistic design gem. From the high quality of the inside spaces to the obvious engagement to the house's natural surroundings, this is a master class of how to generate so much architectural quality with such limited resources.
Ben Khalil is an architect graduated from the Grenoble School of Architecture in France. He worked for some time in Morocco and then decided to embark on a new experience that led him to Istanbul where he is currently working as an architect. Aside from traveling and discovering new cultures, Ben's passion is creativity and storytelling. He started writing about architecture during his college years, he enjoyed it and therefore never stopped doing it.

asking
although it is ok to run git clone with http protocol. However, i am a little stubborn and I  wonder what's cause and how to solve it.

A: The first thing the two sides do when setting up an SSH connection is to exchange version identifiers so they know what SSH version and possibly software the other side is using.  In your case, you were able to establish a connection, but the server never sent their version identifier.  That's probably because you have some MITM device on your network which snoops on all connections and didn't let that through.
You'll note that on my system, when I connect to github.com on port 22, I get the remote side's SSH banner:
$ nc github.com 22 </dev/null
SSH-2.0-babeld-cc5efb01

SSH and TLS (the security protocol used in HTTPS) can prevent an attacker from reading data or tampering with data undetected, but they can't prevent an attacker from tampering with data at all.  An attacker can still prevent the connection from being established or tamper with it such that the connection will be aborted because tampering has been detected.
In this case, your company's MITM device is the attacker, and they're preventing the connection from working.  You could try to work around it with a VPN, but if you can use HTTPS to achieve your goal, you might as well.  That's less likely to get you in trouble, at least.

Today we welcome two new members of staff to the family at Cliff College.
Dr Richard Saunders-Hindley joins us as the new Academic Director.
Mr Gareth Crispin joins us as the BAMM programme lead.
We look forward to working with them over the next few years and pray for them to quickly settle into the rhythm and joy of life here at Cliff.


I purchased a 3442 a few weeks ago and popped it on the network at home (direct to a gigabit switch).
However everything is SO slow and unresponsive that it effectively does not work.
For example, type in it's IP and bring up the status screen... that takes 20 seconds.
I battled through the setup - most of the time it will not manage to progress to the tuning screen - after reboot or two I got it and managed to tuning screen and got it working.
But it only works for a few hours before it slows down so much it is effectively broken.
Start the app on an Android device, it sees the server fine. I try to select it on the screen and it just times out saying the TV Gateway cannot be found. Kodi times out and shows nothing and that is all gigabit wired.
Although I thought I had setup the box it now wants to be setup again... and I can't get to the tuner screen... although looking at the logs it is tuning.
When I hard reboot the box... it works... for a few hours, then becomes a useless box again.
No-one else is complaining at the responsiveness of the box, so I am guessing it is just me. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? As far as i am concerned it "just does not work"
Status shows CPU usage of about 10% and memory at about 50%... so the box is not overloaded.
Okay - just installed the update you gave me and it is now a world different! fast, responsive, no pages hanging... can even update icons. Will test drive it a few days and get back to you with any issues.


Upon inquiring with Kyla Jo Photography, you will receive my wedding pricing and contract with all of the details you need to know about pricing and package options. After looking over my pricing and contract, we can schedule a time to meet at Starbucks or my photo studio. When we meet I will bring worksheets for us to go over and fill out together and will help create a schedule for your special day. You are welcome to sign and book your wedding that day in person, or take it home and mail it in at a later date. Once things are booked and we're officially official, we will begin planning all of the fun details for your engagement shoot!
The fun begins! After working together to choose the perfect location, we will spend an hour or more together to shoot your engagement photos! Your only job during our session is to cuddle up and smile with your fiance - I will lead you through posing for the entire shoot and tell you lame jokes to make you laugh. This is a time for us to get to know one another, get comfortable working together and allow you to spend time together in front of the camera with no stress! These photos will be back to you within a month and ready to print or create a guest album for your wedding day.
As your wedding day approaches, I will be available to help with anything and everything you need - vendor recommendations, timeline preparation, planning suggestions and more. When we are just a few weeks out, we will plan a phone call or meeting in person, if you are comfortable with all of the schedule and details we can just email back and forth.

Diet & Nutrition for Better Memory & Thinking (By Alzheimer's & Dementia Weekly)
Eat2think
UK Introduces Souvenaid, an Alzheimer's "Food for Special Medical Purposes"
VIDEO & ARTICLE
Souvenaid, a unique 125ml once-a-day drink, is now available in England for people living with early Alzheimer's disease. This over-the-counter innovative product is the result of over 10 years' research into the nutritional needs of people living with the early stages of the disease.
Around 800,000 people in the UK live with dementia,1 of which Alzheimer's disease is the most common form. It is a growing health problem in an aging population, leading the government to prioritise earlier diagnosis of the condition.
The loss of connections in the brain (synapses) is one of the key features of early Alzheimer's disease. A combination of nutrients are required in the process of making new connections and people living with Alzheimer's disease have been shown to have relatively low levels of these nutrients in their bodies despite eating a normal diet.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
This adds to a growing body of evidence that highlights how nutrition can help manage the disease in the early stages.8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Dr David Wilkinson, Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry, commented:
"Alzheimer ' s disease is not part and parcel of aging but a serious and progressive disease of the brain which prevents us from being able to retain new memories. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at processing essential nutrients, meaning that we need to increase our intake of food to absorb the same amount of nutrients in order to maintain a healthy body. In the same way, we need the right nutrients for our brains to keep them healthy .
"Alzheimer's disease sufferers often find it very difficult to get everything they need through diet alone and the nutritional intervention by the use of Souvenaid is a new area of research offering promising results for the management of early Alzheimer's disease."
The current healthcare provision for people with early Alzheimer's disease fails to reflect the important role that nutrition can play in managing the disease. A recent survey of specialists involved in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease showed that only a third (33%) regularly assess patients' nutritional status during the diagnostic process.14 Two-thirds of specialists do not even have access to a dietician for these patients.14
Often, after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, it can be difficult to stay positive, particularly when there is little to offer in the way of effective early interventions. Souvenaid offers a new option for people living with early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
Barbara Stephens, Dementia UK Chief Executive, commented: " A diagnosis of dementia is devastating both for those with the condition and t heir families and carers. Early- stage intervention is important for maximising choices and enabling people with dementia and their carers to lead healthier lives for longer. "
Souvenaid contains a unique combination of nutrients that are naturally present in food, at levels difficult to achieve from diet alone. It contains: omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA]), uridine (as uridine monophosphate [UMP]) and choline, together with phospholipids and B vitamins. Souvenaid comes in two tasty flavours (vanilla and strawberry) and tastes best served chilled. Souvenaid is designed to be incorporated into the daily routine, for example, by taking it at breakfast time.
Souvenaid is a Food for Special Medical Purposes, for the dietary management of early Alzheimer's disease. It is available over-the-counter from local accredited pharmacists. People with early Alzheimer's disease must speak with a doctor, specialist nurse, dietician or pharmacist to see if Souvenaid is right for them.

Kristián Mensa is a 17–year–old artist from the Czech Republic currently residing in Colorado with a talent for creating whimsical art out of everyday objects and food.
"I've been always trying to look at things from a different perspective," he writes on BoredPanda. And we don't disagree with him. Pears become kiwis, avocados double up as effective mice ears, and a tomato as a boxing glove in just a few of his fun sketches incorporating real food.
With over 36,000 followers on his Instagram, Mr Kriss is doing something right to get his friends to keep on smiling.
It's advice we could all take notice of, after all where better to encounter the unexpected than in our everyday surroundings.

More bad news for the Socialist country of Venezuela.
The citizens there are now forming gangs, establishing territories, and fighting each other over bags of trash. Meanwhile, the country's main source of income is now abandoned and being looted. Say good bye to another failed Socialist State.
Desperate oil workers and criminals are also stripping the oil company of vital equipment, vehicles, pumps and copper wiring, carrying off whatever they can to make money. The double drain — of people and hardware — is further crippling a company that has been teetering for years yet remains the country's most important source of income.
The timing could not be worse for Venezuela's increasingly authoritarian president, Nicolás Maduro, who was re-elected last month in a vote that has been widely condemned by leaders across the hemisphere. Prominent opposition politicians were either barred from competing in the election, imprisoned or in exile.
[b]Workers Flee and Thieves Loot Venezuela's Reeling ...[text shortened]... e.
I think you'll find little appetite for this topic among the statists on this site. They're a bunch of know-it-alls until reality proves how dangerous their simple minded ideology actually is.
They just did not implement socialism in the proper way.
There is a super duper proper way to implement Socialism that the average simpleton cannot fathom.
The Socialist Party of France took just 6.2 percent of the vote and fifth place. Meanwhile, English Laborer supporters are undergoing an internal crisis of deep character, the Spanish socialists struggle to maintain second place and something similar is going on in Germany and Scandinavia. Parties of the populist right, extreme left and even some liberals are rising against socialism in all its forms. The left have done worse in all the most recent free elections carried out in Latin America, with no signs of greater influence in Asia or Africa.
Socialists created a model of government that, based on very high taxes, intended to transfer the wealth of those who have more toward those who have the least. They tried to accomplish this by creating the so-called welfare state, in which health, education, pensions and sometimes even housing became benefits offered by the government.
Markets were regulated in a thousand different ways and controls were imposed on production. This model of government prevails today in Europe and, to a large extent, in the United States, but such intervention in society reveals its limitations over time. The size and expenditure of governments has been growing, resulting in colossal debt and severe economic crises that have been increasingly ineffective in providing the services they promise to offer, and undermine the rights and values of a free society.
I am not so naive as to believe that voters today understand that the welfare state is a failed experiment. But the discomfort felt is obvious when looking at the negative consequences of immense, ineffective and exploitive governments. It explains why moderate socialists are suffering heavy losses in elections across the world.
I'm not a fan of Socialism myself.
At least in its extreme form (communism).
Socialism seeks to create the illusion of eliminating poverty by eliminating prosperity.
A more moderate form which hybrids with free market system can be made to work.
I also feel extreme capitalism (cowboy capitalism) and communism amount to the same thing.
An unnatural concentration of wealth.
The difference between the 2 ideology is who has it.
The private sector or the State.
It is said that Putin is wealthier than Bill Gates.
If I had to pick between the 2, my money is on Bill Gates.
Edit for the slow learners: don't follow the link.
"The owner of trump.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website."
I guess that answers the question.
Isn't this like saying "capitalist Greece collapsing"?
No, don't you understand? It's not about which policies are effective and which are not, it's about what label you put on them.

The rates for commercial food waste collection are set at 20% below commercial garbage rates. The idea is that businesses will be able to reduce their trash container and then pay for food waste at the discounted rate – after this they are likely to pay a minimal cost, break even or save money.

A commissioned painting is a painting specifically tailored to the requirements of a client and can be anything from portraits, landscapes to any subject.
Can I commission a painting from Alastair Faulkner Art?
Yes. The first step is to complete a commission form which I then review and we can discuss in further detail the requirements and cost of your commission.
The final cost of the commission depends on the size, subject and delivery location of the art work and the agreed price will encompass all these factors.
Once the commission and the price has been agreed, I will send the client a contract to be reviewed and signed prior to undertaking the work. In addition to this a non-refundable deposit accounting for a third of the final price will be required before any work is undertaken. The remaining balance will be requested prior to shipping and delivery of the work.
Can I review the commission?
Yes, I'm keen to insure you are happy with the direction of the commission. Once I have received the deposit and I have started the work, I will send sketches and initial paintings. I will then send a photo of the finished piece prior to shipping and delivery in case any further changes need to be made. A commission is a dialogue and if at any point a client wishes to see progress I can send further images.
Can I request changes to a commission if I'm not happy?
A degree of trust is required of the client towards me with regards to the direction and vision of the final work. If, however the final work is not how you intend it to be please let me know and we can discuss any changes that can be incorporated prior to shipping and delivery.
Can I cancel a commission?
Yes. You can cancel at anytime however if work has begun and you have paid an initial deposit this won't be refunded.
How are the commissions delivered or shipped?
All commissions will be sent via secure courier delivery and you will be notified a rough delivery date and time.

$277 Million Verdict Against Apollo Group for Alleged Misstatements to Investors Upheld by US Supreme Court
March 22, 2011 Class Action LawsuitsSSEK Law
The US Supreme Court is upholding a $277 million securities fraud verdict against Apollo Group and two ex-Apollo executives over claims that they misled investors about a Department of Education review report dealing with student recruitment policies. Apollo is the University of Phoenix's parent company. By issuing its order to uphold the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's decision, which reverses the district court's ruling to throw out the verdict, the justices denied the defendants' petition for certiorari. The plaintiffs of this securities case are a class of investors that bought Apollo Group, Inc. common stock.
In 2004, the Education Department gave Apollo a preliminary report noting that the University of Phoenix had violated department regulations. Although the market did not react significantly to the news, Apollo's stock dropped dramatically after two analyst reports downgraded the stock. Policemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago later submitted a securities class action case claiming that because misleading statements were made during the review, investors ended up sustaining losses when the analyst reports revealed the truth. A jury ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.
The verdict provides damages of $5.55/share for stock bought during the class period. Interest, which has been accruing since 2004, will be included, and may up the amount owed to plaintiffs to over $280 million.
Our securities fraud attorneys are here to fight for our institutional investor clients' financial recovery. Over the years, we have successfully helped thousands of investors recoup their losses.

Watch Anthony Ramos Audition for Role in 'Cats,' Which He Luckily Didn't Land
We're always rooting for Latinx in Hollywood when they're up for a big role, but in the case of Anthony Ramos' attempt at landing a part in the 2019 film version of the musical Cats, we think Ramos probably dodged a bullet.
Late last week, Ramos, who will be seen on the big screen next year in the film version of the musical In the Heights, bravely released his official audition for a role in last year's film, which was a massive box office failure and destroyed by movie critics and audiences alike.
This was my audition for CATS the movie. pic.twitter.com/RkqSLh2i9C
— Anthony Ramos (@ARamosofficial) December 8, 2020
The taped audition features Ramos singing "The Rum Tum Tugger," a song performed in the film by pop and R&B singer Jason Derulo, who was ultimately cast as the song's namesake feline. During the recorded audition, Ramos seems totally committed to the song, much like the entire cast of Cats was when the film hit theaters last year.
Ramos gyrates his hips and moves his arms to the piano accompaniment, and his version of the song sounds wonderful as he sings lyrics like "the Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat." Still, it's a bit difficult to imagine how things would've turned out without seeing him covered in computer-generated fur.
Actually, we jest. We're sure Ramos really wanted the part in the big-budget movie, but Cats really was a cinematic abomination. Not only did it win a Razzie for Worst Picture of the Year, actors Rebel Wilson and James Corden, who also took home Razzies for their supporting performances, poked fun of the film at the Oscars ceremony earlier this year when they showed up on stage to present an award dressed as their Cats characters.
We'd definitely rather see Ramos at the Oscars next year in a black tux accepting a trophy for In the Heights.

This study compares the feminine perspectives of Isabella Bird and Kira Salak, each of whom traveled alone across many continents and wrote - for publication - about her experiences. The purpose of this study is to identify some of the distinctive ways that women travel writers reveal a feminine viewpoint as a narrative style in their writings and to offer some speculations about the differences between the female self and the male ego. This thesis follows a course of research focused on examining the construction of narrative styles by Bird and Salak within articles and books through a combination of theoretical criticisms from many academic disciplines. It is grounded in discourse analysis, gendered language use theory, dominance and difference approaches to speech theory, and postmodern feminist theory. Bird's feminine perspective is marked by an attention to domestic details, identification of feminine traits in others and a poetic style. Salak's writing includes themes of objectifying men, exhibiting her determined nature, subjectively presuming the thoughts of women, domesticity, and approaching obstacles with a pragmatic attitude.

Q: Как отправить cookie через POST-запрос Flutter Нужно сделать авторизацию с приложения на flutter, на сервере есть api страница, которая должна принимать sessionid и csrftoken, тем не менее выдает ошибку:
You are seeing this message because this site requires a CSRF cookie when submitting forms.
CSRF Token вытаскиваю следующим способом:
getCsrfToken() async {
      dynamic getResponse = await Requests.get("url", json: true);
      String responseHeaders = getResponse.headers['set-cookie'];
      var fin =  responseHeaders.split(';');
      var fin2 = fin[0].split('=');
      final csrftoken = fin2[1];
      print('generated csrf: $csrftoken');
      return csrftoken;
    }

Затем использую для получения sessionid, передавая на сервер логин, пароль, а так же вызываю метод получения csrf token. Работает, возвращает sessionid
ajaxGetSessionId() async {

    var csrftoken = await getCsrfToken();

    print('csrf used for gettin sessionid: $csrftoken');
     dynamic response = await Requests.post("url/api_url", headers: {"Referer": "url"}, body: {"username":"username", "password":"password", 'csrfmiddlewaretoken': csrftoken});
     final sessionId = (((response.headers['set-cookie'].split(';'))[4].split(','))[1].split('='))[1];
     print('generated sessionid: $sessionId');

     return sessionId;
}

Затем пытаюсь получить данные с другой api страницы, но получаю вышесказанную ошибку
ajaxGetAlbums() async {

      var sessionId = await ajaxGetSessionId();
      var csrftoken = await getCsrfToken();

      print('used csrf: $csrftoken');

      dynamic getAlbums = await Requests.post("url/api_get_data", headers: {"Referer": "url", 'Cookie': sessionId}, body: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': csrftoken});
      print('recieved sessionid: $sessionId');
      print(getAlbums.content());
}

A: попробуй
body: json.encode({'csrfmiddlewaretoken': csrftoken})

Over 100 U.S. firms to join Dept. of Commerce on trade visit to India
Trade Winds to feature 3-day business forum in New Delhi
The U.S. Commercial Service will bring more than 100 U.S. companies to India as part of the U.S. Department of Commerce's largest annual trade mission program, Trade Winds.
Trade Winds Indo-Pacific features a three-day business forum in New Delhi, with additional trade mission stops in Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Bangladesh. At each mission stop, the attending companies will meet directly with government leaders, market experts and pre-vetted potential business partners, the U.S. Consulate said in a statement.
"Our goal at the U.S. Department of Commerce is to use every available resource to ensure fair and reciprocal trade for U.S. businesses selling their products and services all over the world," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. "Trade Winds is an important component of these efforts."
Trade Winds, now in its 11th year, has directly supported more than $3.4 billion in U.S. exports in over 40 countries, and in 2018, U.S. exports of goods and services to the Indo-Pacific were more than $476 billion.
In 2017, the mission brought 100 companies to Southeast Europe and accounted for more than $3 billion in U.S. exports. Thus far, Trade Winds has helped U.S. companies conduct over 4,000 pre-vetted, business-to-business meetings and over 6,000 government-to-business meetings around the world.
"The potential for growth in U.S.-India trade is enormous given the size of our economies," said Kenneth I. Juster, U.S. Ambassador to India. "Exports of U.S. goods and services to India reached $58.9 billion in 2018. I look forward to hearing of future successes from the companies taking part in Trade Winds."
Aligned with the Trump administration's commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific, this year's Trade Winds mission will provide U.S.-based companies with the opportunity to explore and develop further business ventures with countries throughout the Indo-Pacific region.

Every year, about 500 young people in Babati leave school armed with only a primary education.
With no life skills and no job skills, many feel hopeless, worthless and disenfranchised from the world around them.
As a result, these young people can be exploited easily for religious, economic or sexual purposes.
That is why we will do everything in our power over the next five years to make sure these young people are not left alone. We will do all we can to put purpose back into their lives.
The Babati Town Director's Office is eager to address the problem of disenfranchised young people, and wants to establish a pilot Youth Development Project at the Gendi Primary School.
This project would provide two-year residential training courses for young people from the ward.
The first year aims to rebuild confidence, with mentors working alongside students to help them adjust to a more student-centric learning environment. Using computer tablets, the students will relearn the basics of their education, so that, by Year 2, they are ready for vocational training.
This is likely to include carpentry, catering, masonry and tailoring, providing the skills the young people will need for a lifelong career - as well as a purpose as they make their way in the world.
In line with our community-centric approach, we will work alongside the Babati Town Director's Office to help facilitate this pilot project, providing the necessary facilities and resources to get the project off the ground.
We have been asked to fund the building of two dormitories with toilet and shower blocks. This will ensure that any young people who live too far from the venue can stay overnight.
We will also contribute to the purchase of the tablets, as well as set-up costs, ensuring that all the resources needed for success are in place from Day One.
