Starbucks is Offering Immigration-Related Legal Advice to its Employees
By Mariam Jaffery | February 8, 2017
Starbucks announced Tuesday that it would offer free legal advice to employees regarding President Trump's immigration executive order.
In a letter to employees, the company announced that the legal support for employees and family members would be provided via a new Immigration Advisory Program, set up in partnership with Ernst & Young. The letter stated that the company would be "leading with humanity" through the action.
Since its signing, the executive order has created massive confusion throughout the country after its hasty implementation and vague language left it unclear who exactly would be affected. As a result, many major U.S. corporations have pushed back against the order, as it would likely impact many of their employees.
Starbucks is proving to be one of the companies at the front and center of this corporate resistance. Last month, CEO Howard Schultz announced a plan to hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years. In the letter to employees, Schultz additionally affirmed his support for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, affordable healthcare for all employees, and the continuation of company business partnerships in Mexico. The letter demonstrated the company's forceful opposition to many of the new administration's main policies.
The company's recent actions have not sat well with some Trump supporters–protestors made plans to boycott the brand as a result of its refugee hiring initiative. However, the #BoycottStarbucks trend also had the opposite effect, drumming up more support for the company.

Uber, Microsoft, Amazon, and many other big names in the tech industry have also vowed to provide immigration-related legal advice in the wake of the order. However, as BuzzFeed News notes, Starbucks stands out among the rest as an employer of predominantly low-wage workers.
Meanwhile, after a fairly political Super Bowl this past weekend and wave of anti-Trump retail boycotts, it's clear that corporate America will continue to be pressured to take a stance on the current administration and its policies.

Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell and Paul Walker Discussed Having Children
By Zachary Stieber
December 16, 2013 Updated: July 18, 2015
Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, Paul Walker's girlfriend, discussed having children with Walker.
Pilchard-Gosnell, 23, began seeing Walker when she was 16 and he was 33.
Walker died on November 30 after a fiery car crash at age 40.
Though the pair weren't married, they had discussed getting married.
Now a source told ShowBizSpy that the pair also discussed starting a family together.
Walker already had a child, 15-year-old Meadow Walker, from a previous relationship.
"Paul loved being a dad," the source said. "Meadow was his whole life. He and Jasmine had talked about starting a family together after getting married."
The source added: "Meadow had always wanted a little brother or sister. It's so sad."
A source told the entertainment media outlet previously that Walker and Pilchard-Gosnell had been talking over getting married.
"Family was everything to Paul," a source said. "He had his daughter, Meadow, living with him and his relationship with Jasmine was solid. He was planning to make an honest woman out of her. "He had been looking at rings. He wanted to marry her."
Walker was buried on Saturday, with family and close friends attending the funeral. More people attended the memorial afterward.
"Today in a room full of your loved ones I wish today was your wedding instead," said Tyrese Gibson, who starred in some of the "Fast & Furious" films with Walker, via Facebook after the memorial. "For selfish reasons we all wanted you to stay, another laugh, another take, another talk, another moment….. I guess you can't get all you ask for in life …. But our hearts are FULL from all the moments we DID have, 13 years of laughter and grace, humility and love."
Filming for "Fast & Furious 7" was put on hold after Walker's death, and producers have reportedly asked Walker's brother Cody to fill in on some remaining scenes while the lead writer is re-writing the script to retire Brian O'Conner, Walker's character.

The most certain indicator for beginning of autumn, is the ending of NuuksioCon. And the constant raining. But, I think we had the best NuuksioCon ever. On all the three games: Call of Cthulhu, Scion: Hero, and on the site revealed mystery game scenario Babylon 5 – the Final Flight of Santiago, player's went over the top, while showing their finest roleplaying talents. A new cardgame was tested: Ca$h 'n Gun$, the Reservoir Dogs style loot redistribution game. The orange colored and foam made propguns gave the game the special touch, and made the gaming experience feel even more spectacular.
Scion, the Hero was extremely positive experience, as it allowed to me play a scion of a chaos god – the Susano-o! With appropriate powers for an anarchist punk. No astmathic schoolboy action! There are only few times in your gaming career, when you get to help Vakavanha Väinämöinen -the greatest shaman of the Finnish Kalevala folklore, speak with Antero Vipunen -giant, and help to defeat the evil Louhi, and her titan spawn Iku-Turso from the deep seas, for a simple thing like the Rhyme of Boat Making. The story was totally a kickass!
Babylon 5 game was a positive surprise. The game system was originally based on d20 and then transferred into OGL. I personally was little bit sceptical how it would turn out because of that, and expected some D&Dish space opera. But gladly, this scenario proved me wrong. We played the diplomatic retinue for a Presidental re-election tour in the year 2258 through known space, and we were confronted political issues, poll ratings and internal security problems during the flight. Sadly we couldn'd finish the scenario due to time limits, but hopefully we will continue it in the forthcoming NuuksioCon.

If My Company's Customer Data is Breached, Am I Liable?
It seems like every time we turn on the news we're hearing about another data breach where an organization's customer data has been compromised. Sometimes it's basic data such as what's available on a Facebook page. Other times, it's more serious. For example, the recent Equifax data breach resulted in more than 143 million U.S. citizens having their social security numbers, birthdays, and home addresses compromised.
Naturally, as consumers, we worry about what data thieves have access to and what they might do with it. As a business owner, we worry about the consequences this kind of crime has on our customers—and about our own liability. Did I implement enough cyber-security measures? Were my databases secure enough? Should I have paid extra to encrypt all of my messages? These are some of the questions that may run through your mind if your business is the victim of a data breach.
Business owners & CEOs top the list of who gets the blame when consumer data is hacked. This blame quickly falls into a CEO's lap because most often they are the ones to approve budgets, which include funding for IT security. Many high-profile CEOs have resigned after a massive data hack, including Target's former CEO, Gregg Steinhafel, who resigned after the company suffered a breach that left 40 million credit & debit card numbers vulnerable.
Chief Data Security Officers and other data security personnel often find themselves in the hot seat after a data breach. If the company has provided adequate funding to prevent cyber-attacks, the CISO is held liable for not detecting or interfering with a data breach with proper systems monitoring and maintenance.
Other data security personnel may come under fire when data is compromised too. It is said that a large percentage of data breaches occur as the result of human error. Providing regular systems maintenance and upgrades are a crucial part of helping security systems guard against third party attacks. Unqualified IT professionals pose a huge risk to any organization's database, and companies should take care to hire and train experienced data security personnel to avoid damaging data breaches.
Mega-corporations and mom & pop shops alike can be targeted by cyber-thieves. No specific industry is more or less likely to suffer a data breach. Surprisingly to some, the healthcare industry is extremely vulnerable. Studies show that 90% of healthcare organizations have been victims of a data breach in the last two years.
Data breach prevention is a collaborative effort. Most organizations house IT departments with a bevy of cybersecurity professionals and responsibilities. It's very uncommon for one person or group to have sole responsibility. Still, a dangerous breach remains one bad decision or moment of negligence away. This results in a plunge in revenue and your customers' trust.
BRADFORD, LTD makes its business about protection. Protection of your ideas, property, and data. We serve industries most likely to suffer a devastating breach, as well as those often overlooked.

Important Lessons About Reproducibility in Science
Everyone from pundits to policymakers should be more modest in claiming to know what 'research shows' about how humans behave or how society works.
By: Stuart Buck
Below: Photo by Brand X/Andersen Ross/The Associated Press
Center for Open Science
For over three years now, we at the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LJAF) have been thinking about the problem of reproducibility in science.
One of our first efforts was to launch the Center for Open Science (COS). This afternoon, a flagship COS project, the Reproducibility Project in Psychology, published its findings in Science.
The project took 100 psychology experiments published in top journals in 2008, and then coordinated the replication of those experiments by over 250 scientists from around the world. The effort's unprecedented size and ambition drew admiring coverage from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Economist, Vox, FiveThirtyEight, Wired, and many other media outlets.
The actual results, however, were a bit depressing: Under half of the original results could be successfully replicated by an independent lab.
What does this mean? In our view, there are three important lessons:
First, replication should be far more of a routine practice in science. Ironically, while nearly all scientists profess that replication is important, they all too often leave the job of replication to someone else, preferring to focus on the more interesting — and publishable — task of doing their own original work. And even when replication studies do occur, they are often left unpublished, to be mentioned only at hotel bars during an academic conference.
In many scientific disciplines, we need more outlets that will reward replication studies with the honor of publication. We also need more funders — such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private philanthropy — to set aside a percentage of funds for the replication of prior work.
Second, strict replications would not be nearly as necessary if the original studies were more rigorous in the first place. For example, if original studies pre-register their hypothesis and design, have an appropriate sample size, and use statistics correctly, they are more likely to be true. Taking time to do things right the first time would prevent other researchers from being led down blind alleys.
Third, the fact that over half of psychology studies failed to be replicated does not mean that science is worthless. In fact, it doesn't even mean that the original studies were necessarily wrong. It may just mean that the world and human behavior are more complicated than can be summed up in any one experiment. In turn, that means that everyone from pundits to policymakers should be more modest in claiming to know what "research shows" about how humans behave or how society works.
We are proud to have funded the Reproducibility Project: Psychology, and we hope that it provides an example for funders and journals to promote in many other disciplines.

Hugo Myatt (born 1945) is a British actor, presenter and theatre director, best known for his role as the dungeon master Treguard in the children's game show Knightmare.

Knightmare

Myatt played the role of Treguard of Dunshelm, the dungeon master and presenter of the Children's ITV game series Knightmare throughout all eight series, between 1987 and 1994.

Myatt met Tim Child, the creator of Knightmare, while Child was working as line producer on Anglia Television's regional news programme About Anglia with his wife, presenter Christine Webber. Child believed that Myatt was ideal for a dungeon master role, and arranged to make a pilot, Dungeon Doom. A few months after the first pilot a second pilot was made, which was renamed Knightmare. The second pilot was successful and a series was commissioned. Myatt's Treguard became the only character to appear throughout all 112 episodes that were made over Knightmare's eight series. Myatt ad-libbed some dialogue, with "Ooh, nasty!" becoming a series catchphrase.

In February 2004, Myatt reprised his role of Treguard for the first time in 10 years with a single appearance in the television series Dick and Dom in da Bungalow. Myatt remained locked in a cage for the entire production, and did not speak during the episode, except for a single line, "Ooh, nasty!", at the end. A few months later he returned to the role of Treguard once more with an appearance in the pilot episode of Knightmare VR, an intended update of the original Knightmare television series. On this occasion Treguard's role was reduced, he was no longer the presenter of the show, and was present only as a disembodied avatar of Myatt that assisted the dungeoneer with snippets of advice. In 2013, he played Treguard again in a 2013 YouTube exclusive episode.

Other roles

Myatt continued to appear in a variety of roles in television, movies, audio productions, computer games and pantomime. In 1996 he played the character of Stephanos in the Ancient Greece unit of the BBC Schools series Zig Zag, and in February 2000 he played "The Count" in an episode of the BBC television series ChuckleVision entitled "Out for the Count". He also provided several voices for the English version of the Dutch children's animated series Alfred J. Kwak.

Outside children's television, Myatt has produced numerous computer security training videos, and has appeared in a crime reconstruction on Crimewatch. In 2005, he appeared as Leon Bank in Snuff-Movie, and he also played the role of Bob Snatcher in the short film Snatching Time. In 2007 Myatt played the role of Mr Aston in The House on Straw Hill (also known as Rogue), and in 2010 he played the role of a vicar in Dead Cert. In 2016 Myatt appeared as the character "Dr Wilder" in "Bewilder Box" a live action, immersive escape room located in the seaside resort of Brighton.

Myatt has provided voices for a number of computer games including Black and White, Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds, and the original Fable where he provided the voice of the guild master Weaver. He has also performed roles for the Doctor Who audio dramas Omega, Weapon of Choice, A Blind Eye and Panacea (part of the Gallifrey audio series), and has also provided voice acting for the Sapphire & Steel audio drama The Passenger. He has more recently lent his voice to the Evil Scarecrow album Galactic Hunt in the song "Enter the Knightmare", which has lyrics based on Knightmare, and voiced General Khazimov in the mobile running game Zombies, Run!

Home Asia Report Concern growing in Indonesia over Rohingya 'genocide' crisis
Concern growing in Indonesia over Rohingya 'genocide' crisis
By PMC Editor -
Indonesian police form a human barricade as Muslims hold a rally outside Myanmar's embassy against "ethnic cleansing" in Myanmar of Rohingya Muslims in Jakarta on November 25, 2016. Image: UCA News/AFP
By Ryan Dagur and Katharina R. Lestari in Jakarta
There is rising concern in majority Muslim Indonesia that the treatment being meted out to ethnic Muslim Rohingya by military forces in Myanmar could lead to regional tensions.
Islamic organisations have joined calls to end the conflict while Jakarta is making efforts to deal with the crisis which has forced tens of thousands to flee, amid a bloody military crackdown in Myanmar's ethnically divided Rakhine State after border police were attacked and killed in October.
The United Nations estimated at least 65,000 refugees were in camps in Bangladesh, while Dhaka has said some 50,000 Rohingya have crossed its border in the last two months.
Nahdatul Ulama, Indonesia's largest Islamic organisation has said the conflict was totally unjustified and had injured human values.
"Muslims in general feel the pain because of the Rohingya's suffering," the organisation's leaders said in a statement.
They called on world leaders, Southeast Asian countries and the UN to take concrete measures to end the violence and show humanitarian solidarity
Muhammadiyah, Indonesia's second largest Islamic organisation said the Rohingya crisis was "violating and trampling human rights".
Act firmly call
Anwar Abbas, its chairman, called on the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, an international organisation with 57 member countries,  to act firmly against the Myanmar government.
"If this continues then it is not impossible to invite new tensions that threaten the peace of the world," he warned.
He also expressed deep disappointment over inaction by Myanmar's leader, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, and urged the revocation of her Nobel Peace Prize.
In Malaysia, thousands of people, led by Prime Minister Najib Razak took to the streets on December 4, branding the Rohingya situation as "genocide".
Similar but smaller protests have also occurred in Indonesia.
In November, hundreds of Indonesians protested outside the Myanmar embassy in Jakarta, calling for an end to the "genocide."
Indonesia's government has made diplomatic overtures with Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi meeting Aung San Suu Kyi twice last month: on December 6 and December 19.
Diplomatic efforts
Marsudi said that such diplomatic efforts have been taken to try and bridge communications between Myanmar and Bangladesh, whose relations have continued to deteriorate because of conflicts in their border areas.
"I'm carrying out diplomacy carefully and without creating a tumult, because the Rohingya conflict is a very sensitive issue related to a fully sovereign state; the sovereignty of a state must be respected," she told Antara news agency.
Daniel Awigra, Asean program manager at the Jakarta-based Human Rights Working Group said Indonesia can be an example of the process of democratisation for Myanmar.
Indonesia was built on diversity and so is Myanmar, he said. So Myanmar could see Indonesia as a state with credible democracy.
However, "what needs to be paid attention to is the agenda of sending humanitarian aid for Rohingya, investigation into crimes and security sector reform as well as the elimination of the 1982 citizenship law which rejects Rohingya identity," he said.
Father Agustinus Ulahayanan, secretary of the Bishops' Commission for Ecumenical and Inter-religious Affairs, said the Rohingya issue "is about ethnicity and politics".
He thanked Muslim leaders for not linking the issue to religious sentiments.
Never close its eyes
For the Catholic Church, he said, the Catholic community will never close its eyes to any humanitarian crisis.
"I heard that a few dioceses had launched a solidarity movement. Even a diocese, of which I cannot mention for a certain reason, had collected money during a Sunday mass to help our Rohingya brothers and sisters," he said.
Similarly, Sahat Martin Philip Sinurat, chairman of the Indonesian Christian Student Movement, called on the Indonesian government not to link the Rohingya issue to religious sentiments.
The Rohingya issue is an issue of citizenship, not a religion-based one, he said.

THERE ARE MUCH MISUSE of the words 'GENOCIDE' , "SLOW BURNING GENOCIDE' AND 'ETHNIC CLEANSING' these days.
World meida and right groups are falsely accusing the Buddhist Rakhine people of 'genocide' against the Bengali ('Rohingya') Muslims.
That is not even close to being a situation that can use the term 'Genocide'.
The only true genocide in Burma was the 1942 Maungdaw Genocide – where Bengali Muslims (the term 'Rohingya' was unknown then) armed by the British to fight the Japanese in WWII did not fight the Japanese,
but instead, turned the weapons on the dominant, indigenous Buddhist Culture, killing 30,000 Buddhists in Maungdaw township alone, burned over 400 Buddhist villages, and sent 100,000 Buddhists fleeing for their lives
These are attempts by so-called Rohingya to cover their exaggerated and manipulative accusations against the Rakhine Buddhists in western Burma, with the inflammatory charge of: 'genocide against the Rohingya Muslims'.

If what you said happened, then this doesn't justify treating a mistake or action by another horrible action.


Historically, health care in the United States has functioned by addressing crisis. For older adults, that may mean hospitalization due to illness, a chronic health condition, or a fall. Unfortunately, once a senior enters the hospital for treatment, a cycle of readmission can ensue, with patients getting better and being discharged, only to return with a complication, or similar issue.
But what if there were a way to approach health care from a preventative mindset that could help break the readmission cycle: a long-established approach that could be utilized by nearly anyone and that addressed a patient's physical health as well as his or her lifestyle to help create a safe and beneficial environment?
In-home care for seniors is just such an approach to preventative health care. As Matt Hansen, DPT, General Manager of Homespire Health, a new Intermountain Healthcare Companyand owner of Soma Health, LLC, points out that in a traditional clinic or hospital setting, the health care professional is only able to address the health crisis based upon the information the patient provides, and after discharge, a patient may not be seen again. In-home care helps break the cycle of health issues by looking at the situation holistically, and most importantly, the individual is able to recover and remain in the comfort of home.
When we choose home care, caregivers not only address an immediate health need, but they can see and work to remedy factors that may contribute to and precipitate readmission. For example, if the individual is diabetic, the caregiver can observe the types of foods kept in the home and address unhealthy eating habits. If the individual is recovering from a fall, the caregiver can address basic safety around the house like eliminating throw rugs, adding grab bars, and repositioning furniture to help make navigating the house safer.
Professional in-home caregivers from an agency oftentimes supplement the caregiving provided by family members. According to Hansen, it's important to have a frank conversation with your senior loved one to let him or her know the level of care you are able to provide, taking into consideration your own health as well as any commitments you have to children still living at home.
As Hansen points out, as wonderful and as rewarding as caring for a loved one can be, it can be challenging and involve tasks that you may not be comfortable performing. He recommends thinking about time-consuming caregiving tasks and considering what type of meaningful interaction you and your loved one could do instead, if an outside caregiving agency provided supplemental care. Would you engage in a favorite hobby? Have a meal with friends at a local restaurant? Reminisce and record memories?
Hansen believes purpose and passion are the most critical components of an in-home care plan because when caregivers understand what sparks an individual's passion, they can help the senior remain safely at home and engaged in life.

Q: Generar botones con valores aleatorios Estoy intentando crear un programa que genere 3 botones, cada uno con un valor aleatorio del 1 al 5 y el objetivo es clicar el más grande (evidentemente en los botones no aparecen los números), si aciertas salta un alert diciendo correcto y si fallas otro alert que diga has fallado, el problema que tengo es que no se hacer que los botones contengan valores aleatorios, he probado varias formas pero no lo logro así que no tengo un codigo que mostrar... espero que se haya entendido la explicación, gracias
var boton1 = document.getElementById("boton1");
var boton2 = document.getElementById("boton2");
var boton3 = document.getElementById("boton3");

var numAleatorio1 = Math.random(1,5);
var numAleatorio2 = Math.random(1,5);
var numAleatorio3 = Math.random(1,5);

var botonPresionado = $(this.data("id"));
var botonGrande = botonMasGrande();

if(botonPresionado == botonMasGrande) {
    alert("Correcto");
} else {
    alert("Incorrecto");
}

function botonMasGrande() {
    // Calcula cual es el botón con el número más grande
    let resultadoBoton;
    if(boton1 > boton2 && boton1 > boton3) {
        resultadoBoton = "boton1";

    } else if(boton3 > boton2 && boton3 > boton1) {
        resultadoBoton = "boton3";

    } else if(boton2 > boton1 && boton2 > boton3) {
        resultadoBoton = "boton2";

    } else {
        reiniciarBotones();
    }

}

function reiniciarBotones() {
    // Aquí estaría el código para reiniciar los valores de los botones
}

Donde tengo problemas es en dar valores a los botones sin que aparezcan como texto y en crear la función reiniciarBotones();

A: Puedes reducir un poco el código y llegar a la solución con algunas mejoras:

*

*La más importante es que no uses directamente Math.random() para asignar los valores, al ser tan pocos, hay grandes probabilidades de que haya repetidos; lo ideal es crear un arreglo y desordenarlo para tomar un valor para cada botón.

*Usa el atributo value para almacenar el valor de los botones y, como texto, solo muestra ? o lo que creas más conveniente.

*En lugar de ir botón a botón para asignar valores y eventos, usa document.querySelectorAll() para obtenerlos todos en una lista de nodos, que puedes recorrer con .forEach() y servirá para 3 cosas:

*

*Asignar evento clic (solo una vez, al cargar la página)

*Asignar valor cada que se inicie el juego

*Obtener el valor máximo

function shuffle(a) {

        x = a[i];
        a[i] = a[j];
        a[j] = x;
    }
    return a;
}

// Crear arreglo de números
let numeros = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Obtener botones
let botones = document.querySelectorAll('button');

// Asignar evento a botones
botones.forEach(boton => boton.addEventListener('click', botonClick));

function reiniciarBotones() {
    // Desordenar arreglo, para evitar números repetidos
    numeros = shuffle(numeros);
    botones.forEach((boton, index) => boton.value = numeros[index]);
    // Solo para depurar y ver que funciona
    console.log(botones);
}
// Se recibe el evento (e) como parámetro
function botonClick(e) {
    // Encontrar el valor máximo
    let max = Array.from(botones).reduce((a, b) => (b.value > a) ? b.value : a, 0);
    // El botón que recibió clic está en e.target
    if(e.target.value == max) {
        alert('¡Correcto!');
    } else {
        alert('¡Incorrecto!');
    }
    // ¿Jugar otra vez?
    reiniciarBotones();
}

// Asignar valor a los botones para comenzar el juego
reiniciarBotones();
<button id="boton1" value="0">?</button>
<button id="boton2" value="0">?</button>
<button id="boton3" value="0">?</button>

Window treatments, a key element in the overall design of any room, provide a finishing touch like none other can. They will enhance your décor and reflect your individual style. However if you've ever searched for window treatments you know how monumental a task it can be – shades, blinds, shutters, curtains, valences, curtain rods and tiebacks – so much to consider; so many choices.
Divine Redesign makes this phase of decorating easier than you ever thought it could be! Our window treatment associates eliminate the search by bringing the materials and fabrics to your home. Together we work with you to select the materials and colors which will enhance the look of your furnishings. We then design and style them to best suit the look and feel of your individual rooms.
Want less fabric in the room? Opt for wood shutters. Need privacy and light control? Wood blinds will do both for you. Need more softness, more color or texture? Fabric wrapped cornices and/or draperies are a good solution. Whatever your preference, our trustworthy and reliable business associates will deliver a quality product to you at a reasonable price.
Wood blinds make awesome window coverings. Natural wood has a beauty and softness to it that easily works with many styles and color schemes. With maintenance, wooden blinds will last for years as a filtration system and window decoration.
Where wood blinds can't be used, like the bathroom and kitchen, Faux wood blinds make the perfect addition because they are made out of alternative wood that won't swell or splinter. This is perfect for rooms that tend to get more moisture than others.
Shades seem like they would be the same thing as blinds but shades are usually made out of a single panel of cloth material while blinds may be made out of several pieces wood panels. The great thing about shades is that you can choose the opacity or how much light enters the room.
These shades are easily noticed by the way they are built; with wood reeds all woven together to form a single panel. These types of shades are most commonly used in screened porches or sunrooms because they give off an island like feel.
Shutters are a great solution for window treatments that easily pair with function and style. Shutters can be installed in your window setting for an elegant and long-lasting filtration system. I can help you choose different styles of shutters to go with any room.
Polycore shutters are more durable because they are made from stronger metal materials that is made to last. They are great window coverings for a kitchen or bathroom that has a lot of moisture. It won't warp or swell like wood shutters would.
Vertical tall blinds are great for windows that are more wide than tall. In Arizona, these types of blinds are most used on sliding glass doors. Traditional vertical blinds are usually made white but you can get these types of blinds in different colors as well.
Drapes can be used to get really creative with your windows. Divine Redesign can help you pick out the perfect draperies for your home and emphasize your blinds, shutters or shades. Drapes can enhance the feel and beauty of a home.
It is nearly impossible to shop at the large home furnishings stores for window treatments and drapes that don't end up looking exactly like the drapes in everyone else's home. The truth is there is so much more out there to choose from than what is available to the general masses. And you will only find it, and get good quality, in the world of custom made window coverings.
Shopping for window treatments doesn't feel like shopping at all when working with us at Divine Redesign. Again, we work with our terrific associates in a unique way to bring you the best in window treatments, custom bedding and throw pillows.

(b) Willfully delays his client's suit with a view to his own gain.
Thru this letter, I notify attorney Bianco and I ask that the State Bar revoke the license of Bianco for failure to comply with the California Public Records Act GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 6250-6270.
I originally request the copy of the court file November 18, 2016 and again February 13, 2017. I again requested a copy of the file March 29, 2017 [see attached copy].
If the original file was in a court folder, as I believe was the custom of the court, I have never received copies of the back and front of the folder and any notes the court clerk would have made the day of the hearing.
Bianco's July 5 letter [see attachment] comes months after the required 10-14 day requirements under GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 6250-6270.
Bianco claims he made an April 27 2017 "preliminary response" but no explanation is given for why it took another approximately 69 days to complete the response. This alone is cause for discipline and suspension of Bianco's license to practice. Bianco quotes GC 69957(b) which is dependent on GC 69957(a) which authorizes a recording "the court may order that, in a limited civil case, or a misdemeanor or infraction case, the action or proceeding be electronically recorded". However the small claims court case is not a limited civil case or misdemeanor or infraction case, thus Bianco's use of the GC 69957(b) is inapplicable. There are other's problems with Bianco's use of that code: there is no indication by Bianco that if such recording was to be used for the purpose he states, that it was announced to the litigants; thus it was not announced; also, in order for such recording to be made, if it was for that purpose, it would have to be destroyed within two years of May 2014. Obviously the recording was not made for that purpose because the recording still exists. Since the GC 69957(b) only applies to recordings that would have been destroyed within the two year period, and that time has expired, the current recording is subject to a California Public Records Act request.
Please provide me with a PDF of the Mp3 copy of the recording of the July 25, 2014 hearing. If Bianco will not comply with this request, I ask that the State Bar order counsel to comply.
The Judge clearly said at the hearing each side to pay their own costs and you guys will hopefully work this out yourselves; that would be inconsistent with a "with prejudice" ruling. Again, please supply me with a copy of the complete case file including copy of any jacket the file was enclosed in. The Judge was also served with a request for production of documents on a non-party on March 29, 2017 which Bianco has not responded to [case 2:16-CV-03236-JSL filed May 2016].
In enacting the CPRA, the Legislature stated that access to information concerning the conduct of the public's business is a fundamental and necessary right for every person in the State.1 Cases interpretingt he CPRA also have emphasized that its primary purpose is to give the public an opportunity to monitor the functioning of their government.2 The greater and more unfettered the public official's power, the greater the public's interest in monitoring the governmental action.
Privacy is a constitutional right and a fundamental interest recognized by the CPRA.4 Although there is no general right to privacy articulated in the CPRA, the Legislature recognized the individual right to privacy in crafting a number of its exemptions. Thus, in administering the provisions of the CPRA, agencies must sometimes use the general balancing test to determine whether the right of privacy in a given circumstance outweighs the interests of the public in access to the information. If personal or intimate information is extracted from a person (e.g., a government employee or appointee, or an applicant for government employment/appointments a precondition for the employment or appointment), a privacy interest in such information is likely to be recognized.5 However, if information is provided voluntarily in order to acquire a benefit, a privacy right is less likely to be recognized.
The public may inspect or obtain a copy of identifiable public records. Writings held by state or local government are public records.8 A writing includes all forms of recorded information that currently exist or that may exist in the future. 9 The essence of the CPRA is to provide access to information, not merely documents and files.10 However, it is not enough to provide extracted information to the requestor, the document containing the information must be provided. In order to invoke the CPRA, the request for records must be both specific and focused. The requirement of clarity must be tempered by the reality that a requester, having no access to agency files or their scheme of organization, may be unable to precisely identify the documents sought. Thus, writings may be described by their content.
When a person seeks a record in an electronic format, the agency shall, upon request, make the information available in any electronic format in which it holds the information. Computer software developed by the government is exempt from disclosure.
GC 6254.9. (a) Computer software developed by a state or local agency is not itself a public record under this chapter. The agency may sell, lease, or license the software for commercial or noncommercial use.
On or around January 31 2017 I had an email exchange with the law firm KANE LAW FIRM. Their address is on the proposed "professional services agreement".
Please review the email exchange and the proposed services agreement as I believe it constitutes improper conduct on the part of the law firm and in violation of State Bar rules of conduct, as to be determined by the State Bar.
My contact was with attorney Farbod Faizal. Attorney Brad Kane is a member of the city of Los Angeles Pico Neighborhood Council land use committee. I think it is inappropriate for Brad Kane to be sitting on a city committee.
On or around January 18, 2017, Manatt laid off around ten employees. I was one of those laid off.
January 19, 2017 employment verification letter indicating separation date as Jan. 19, 2017.
I bring to your attention that I did NOT work for the employer Jan. 20, 2017 - Jan. 31, 2017 which the pay-stub says that I was still on the company payroll. I believe it was fraudulent and improper conduct for the employer to represent that I received wages from them for Jan. 20-31 when I was not an employee, thus did not receive wages and thus was not on the payroll as of Jan. 19, 2017.
Since I did no longer work for the employer as of January 19, then their earnings statements as regards "hours and earnings rates" and "taxes and deductions" is a false statement as to the time period January 20-31, 2017.
Please investigate Manatt Phelps and Phillips as they have engaged in actionable misconduct under the reporting requirements, and under any other administrative requirements under the jurisdiction of the State Bar of California including but not limited to the reporting/recording of wages, W-2, deductions, etc.
Please investigate Manatt and revoke their certification to practice law.

Putting the Sister in Solar: the movement bringing women out of energy poverty
"If energy poverty were a person, it would be a woman," says Olasimbo Sojinrin, Country Manager of Solar Sister Nigeria.
In the bustle of a busy marketplace in southwestern Nigeria, Felicia Abiola-Ige sets up a stall with a wide array of solar lamps, torches, phone chargers, home systems and energy efficient stoves. She lays solar panels facing up towards the sun and places products on their boxes on the tabletop so people can pick them up and see how they work. She's dressed in a bright orange Solar Sister t-shirt. Soon enough, several people have gathered around, leaning in to hear what these products can do.
Mrs. Abiola-Ige, 46, a science teacher from Oyo State, heard about pico solar products when a Solar Sister business associate came to demonstrate clean energy products at her school. She was surprised to learn about solar technology with a strong light and a reasonable price that could erase the need for kerosene or batteries.
"I wondered how something this useful is sold at this price? I decided to test it out."
She bought a small d.light solar lamp for US$8 and gave it to her grandmother. Seeing how well it worked, Mrs. Abiola-Ige bought a larger solar lamp with a phone charger. From there, she signed up to be a Solar Sister entrepreneur and hasn't looked back.
She and her teenage daughter Opeyemi go to schools, churches, cooperatives, hospitals and homes to advertise solar products and drum up business. As a teacher, she uses her networks in the education sector to talk about solar and sell products.
"We have even gone out to other parts of Oyo State. People are very interested."
In the past several months, she has sold over 40 clean energy products.
Opeyemi Abiola-Ige helps her mother market solar products.
For Africans living in rural areas, electricity is scarce and unlikely to arrive any time soon. In rural Tanzania, just 7% of people have access to power and approximately 70 million people outside of Nigeria's cities are without electricity. Regular power cuts mean even those with grid access are often left in the dark.
Kitchen smoke causes four million deaths per year and is the leading cause of death for women and children under five in the developing world. Household pollution in Nigeria is the biggest killer after Malaria and AIDS.
These are the issues that will only worsen with population growth and climate change. These are the issues that disproportionately affect women.
"In terms of how this affects the population, it affects women more than men. If you look at rural areas, 70–80 % of dwellers are women and girls. They are the ones who manage energy in the household. They are the ones who manage light. So it makes sense that we are not just the problem, we are an essential part of the solution."
One of Victoria's customers uses her solar lamp as she begins to prepare dinner at home in Odeh village, Anambra State, Nigeria.
As a social enterprise, Solar Sister works to eradicate energy poverty by offering local women a chance to kickstart a clean energy business.
"We recruit, train and support women entrepreneurs to sell clean energy products," Sojinrin says. "These women are trusted members of their communities. When they come with a new product, people listen."
A young girl draws by the light of a solar lamp at her grandmother's home in Ikpamodo community, Enugu State, Nigeria.
Through an innovative model that combines bottom lines with social and environmental goals, Solar Sister shows that economic empowerment of women is key to clean energy distribution in rural Africa.
Solar Sister sources reliable and marketable clean energy products from leading manufacturers, such as d.light and Greenlight Planet, and sells them to their entrepreneur network across Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda. Entrepreneurs then use their own networks and local markets to get solar lamps and clean stoves out to those that need them. Entrepreneurs earn extra income and their customers benefit from clean energy.
"Solar Sister shows that women are not just victims; we ourselves are doing something about getting out of energy poverty," Sojinrin says.
Research by Santa Clara University's Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship found that Solar Sister's approach to supporting women clean energy entrepreneurs has far-reaching economic, social and environmental impacts. The 2017 study based on customer surveys in Tanzania found that "solar lanterns create a positive cycle of economic growth that can revolutionise a family's financial well-being", and that "solar-powered lighting protects the health of each person in the household and spurs intrinsic changes in women's self-image and perceived agency."
Dr. Leslie Gray, lead researcher, says the impact of solar lanterns goes beyond light: "Solar-powered lighting is a technology central to the development of rural Africa, transforming the education, health, time, finances, and sense of power in every household it reaches."
The last mile
To reach Odeh village, you must drive two hours north of Nigeria's industrial centre Onitsha city, recently named the city with the world's worst air pollution, and then take a 15-minute boat ride across the Niger river.
Odeh is a riverine community of a few thousand people, mostly cash crop farmers and fishermen. It's a perfect example of the so-called "last mile", off-grid communities where woodfire stoves, kerosene lamps, AA batteries and — for those who can afford it — small petrol-powered generators are your only energy options.
Victoria Ikem poses and points at a solar lamp in the deep darkness of Odeh village, a remote riverine community with few energy options. Victoria sells solar lamps like this one in her community and beyond. Odeh village, Anambra State, Nigeria.
Victoria Ikem, a farmer from Odeh who became a Solar Sister entrepreneur last year, says bringing solar products and clean stoves into this community has transformed people's lives, including her own.
"There are so many advantages. You save a lot of money that you usually spend on fuel, like kerosene. And the profits I make from selling, I use to pay for school fees. My husband is not around, and I have three children to send to school."
In communities like Odeh, there is a great need for energy but cash flow is seasonal, so Victoria plans her sales at harvest time when farmers have money in hand. In such last mile communities that will not see electrical power any time soon, Solar Sister entrepreneurs are a community's best and only trusted source of energy.
Back in Oyo town, Mrs. Abiola-Ige has just sold another solar light, this time to a Baptist reverend and his wife. For her, the income is helpful especially when her teacher salary is delayed. She also believes it is essential for more women to get involved in solar businesses.
"We are the ones who need this energy! The children come to us asking for light, for food. The more women we get into this business the better."
In a male-dominated sector, there are relatively few women benefitting from solar business opportunities. "I know only one other woman who does this, and she is a Solar Sister entrepreneur," she says.
Solar Sister is seeking to change this, one entrepreneur at a time.

Bankruptcy around the World: Explanations of Its Relative Use
Stijn Claessens
Leora F. Klapper
The law and finance literature highlights the role of investor rights in financial development, firm corporate governance, and financing patterns. For a panel of 35 countries, we investigate how bankruptcy use relates to countries' creditor rights and judicial efficiency. Bankruptcies are higher in countries with more creditor rights, except for a "no automatic stay on assets" provision. Higher judicial efficiency is associated with more bankruptcies and appears as a substitute with more creditor rights. Although only a first step, our findings suggest creditor rights are complex, balancing prioritization of claims, ex ante risk-taking incentives, and an efficient resolution of distressed firms.

Major Discovery: New Planet Could Harbor Water and Life
By Ker Than 2007-04-24T20:23:00Z
One of the several planets within the Gliese 581 star system, called Gliese 581 d, may be one of the most potentially habitable alien worlds known. It is about 8 times the mass of Earth, and located in an orbit just right for liquid water to exist on the surface. Water is a key ingredient for life as we know it. Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star 20.5 light-years from Earth

An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life, scientists announced today.
Liquid water is a key ingredient for life as we know it. The newfound planet is located at the "Goldilocks" distance-not too close and not too far from its star to keep water on its surface from freezing or vaporizing away.
And while astronomers are not yet able to look for signs of biology on the planet, the discovery is a milestone in planet detection and the search for extraterrestrial life, one with the potential to profoundly change our outlook on the universe.
"The goal is to find life on a planet like the Earth around a star like the Sun. This is a step in that direction," said study leader Stephane Udry of the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland. "Each time you go one step forward you are very happy."
The new planet is about 50 percent bigger than Earth and about five times more massive. The new "super-Earth" is called Gliese 581 C, after its star, Gliese 581, a diminutive red dwarf star located 20.5 light-years away that is about one-third as massive as the Sun.
Smallest to date
Gliese 581 C is the smallest extrasolar planet, or "exoplanet," discovered to date. It is located about 15 times closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun; one year on the planet is equal to 13 Earth days. Because red dwarfs, also known as M dwarfs, are about 50 times dimmer than the Sun and much cooler, their planets can orbit much closer to them while still remaining within their habitable zones, the spherical region around a star within which a planet's temperature can sustain liquid water on its surface.
Because it lies within its star's habitable zone and is relatively close to Earth, Gliese 581 C could be a very important target for future space missions dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life, said study team member Xavier Delfosse of Grenoble University in France.
"On the treasure map of the universe, one would be tempted to mark this planet with an X," Delfosse said.
Two other planets are known to inhabit the red dwarf system. One is a 15 Earth-mass "hot-Jupiter" gas planet discovered by the same team two years ago, which orbits even closer to its star than does Gliese 581 C. Another is an 8 Earth-mass planet discovered at the same time as Gliese 581 C, but which lies outside its star's habitable zone.
Possible waterworld
Computer models predict Gliese 581 C is either a rocky planet like Earth or a waterworld covered entirely by oceans.
"We have estimated that the mean temperature of this super-Earth lies between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius [32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit], and water would thus be liquid," Udry said.
The scientists discovered the new world using the HARP instrument on the European Southern Observatory 3.6 meter telescope in La Sille, Chile. They employed the so-called radial velocity, or "wobble," technique, in which the size and mass of a planet are determined based on small perturbations it induces in its parent star's orbit via gravity.
Udry said there was a fair amount of time between the calculation of Gliese 581 C's size and the realization it was within its star's habitable zone. "That came at the end," Udry said.
When it did hit him, Udry knew he would be spending time fielding phone calls from the media. "You right away think about the journalists who will like it very much," he told SPACE.com.
David Charbonneau, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) who was not involved in the study, said the new finding is an "absolutely fantastic discovery."
"It means there probably are many more such planets out there," Charbonneau said in a telephone interview. Whether Gliese 581 C harbors life is still unknown, but "it satisfies for the first time a key requirement."
Charbonneau also praised the team's technical skills. "The wobble induced on the star by each of these planets is really tiny-it's just a few meters a second. That means their measurement precision is exquisite," he said.
David Latham, another astronomer at Harvard-Smithsonian CfA, echoed other scientists' praise of the discovery but said the next step is to find a similar world where the orbit of the habitable planet carries it between Earth and its parent star. This will allow scientists to observe it using the transit technique, whereby the small dimming starlight caused by the planet's passage across the face of its sun can be used to calculate its size.
Only then can scientists determine for certain whether the world is rocky or covered by water, Latham said.
Alan Boss, a planetary theorist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, said the new planet's potential for liquid water made it "fascinating." Gliese 581 C "is the closest planet to another Earth that has been found to date. I hope the SETI folks are listening," Boss said.
Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI institute, said the Gliese 581 system has in fact been looked at twice before for signs of intelligent life. The first time was in 1995 using the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia; the second time occured in 1997 using the 140-foot telescope in Greenbank,West Virgina. Both times revealed nothing.
"It has been looked at twice, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look at it again," Shostak said. "And indeed we should because this is the best candidate the extrasolar planet guys have come up with yet."
Shostak said he was "jazzed" by the discovery. "This is pointing to something that in the past has only been an assumption, namely that Earth-sized worlds are not rare," he said. "We know of only two [planets in the habitable zone]. We know this one and we know our own. But two is better than one."
Shostak said the Gliese 581 system will likely be looked at again over much wider range of the radio spectrum when the new Allen Telescope Array begins operations this summer.
"You could say it's going to the head of the class," he said.

Eli Lilly plans 2 drug launches per year from 2013
Patricia Van Arnum
Eli Lilly has outlined its growth strategy at its annual meeting with the investment community; chief among the company?s goals are plans to launch two new drugs per year beginning in 2013 and a strategy to increase its position in emerging markets.
Eli Lilly has outlined its growth strategy at its annual meeting with the investment community; chief among the company's goals are plans to launch two new drugs per year beginning in 2013 and a strategy to increase its position in emerging markets.
"In 2009, Lilly has once again exhibited strong performance in a tough environment, and we've continued with a series of actions aimed at speeding innovation to patients and delivering greater value to our customers," said John C. Lechleiter, Lilly's President and CEO, in a company press statement. "Through these actions and more, we are transforming Lilly to compete and to win in an ever-more demanding and challenging environment. We see a divergence of strategies among our peers to deal with these challenges, including the wave of consolidation this year. Many companies are seeking to lower risk by reducing their focus on innovative medicines. This is not our path. Our strategy is to create value by accelerating the flow of innovative new medicines that provide improved outcomes for individual patients."
The company plans to have at least 10 molecules in Phase III clinical development by the end of 2011 and hopes to launch two new drugs per year beginning in 2013, according to comments by Steve M. Paul, executive Vice President of Science and Technology, and President of Lilly Research Laboratories, in the company press release. He pointed to efforts by the company to accelerate drug discovery and development to help meet these goals. These include its phenotypic drug-discovery programme, risk-sharing collaborations, the early-stage work of its Chorus team (a global network of internal and external partners in drug development) and its new Development Center of Excellence.
Eli Lilly currently has 60 new molecules in development, including 25 in Phases II and III, according to Paul. He added that biotechnology-based molecules now represent more than one-third of the company's clinical pipeline. Lilly further strengthened its position in biologics through the acquisition of the biopharmaceutical company ImClone Systems (NY, USA) in 2008.
Lilly recently refocused its operations around five business units: oncology, diabetes, established markets, emerging markets, and animal health, and part of the company's growth strategy is to enhance its position in seven key emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey, with its top priority being China. These seven markets accounted for 9% of the company's revenues in the first nine months of 2009. In the first 9 months of 2009, the company's sales in China increased 20%, and Lilly doubled the size of its affiliate in China from 1100 to 2200 employees. The company is currently building a second insulin-manufacturing plant in Suzhou. In 2008, Lilly's sales in China were more than $200 million.
Lilly has a three-pronged strategy to increase its growth in emerging markets. First, it says it will seek to maximize core assets, which includes both patented and postpatent drugs, and will seek to accelerate new product launches and to capitalize on longer product life cycles in select countries, including China. Secondly, it wants to add select non-Lilly drugs to build upon its core therapeutic focus, particularly in diabetes, oncology, and neuroscience, which could include product acquisitions and copromotion and comarketing agreements. And thirdly, the company wants to establish local alliances in select countries where the company's current infrastructure is not well-suited to capture growth.
Offering a long-term outlook for its overall performance, the company expects to achieve annual revenues of at least $20 billion between 2012 and 2014.

LEWIS HEBARD
Arrives in California, 1850
Hook and Ladder Company of San Jose, 1853

SURNAMES: DYGERT, GIRARD, MURDOCK
Lewis Hebard, son of Albetis L. and Philomelia Hebard, was born in Wells, Hamilton County, New York, April 20, 1821. His father and mother were natives of Dutchess County, New York. Albetis L. moved from Dutchess to Hamilton County, and thence to Marcy, Oneida County, New York, and in 1843 the family moved to Illinois, where Mrs. Hebard died, in 1844. Mr. Hebard then returned to New York, where he soon after died. Lewis, the subject of this sketch, the only child, was reared in New York and went with his father to Will County, Illinois, where he remained while his father resided there. He then went to Jefferson County, Wisconsin, where he remained till March, 1850, when he left for California, coming overland. The party with which he traveled arrived in Sacramento August 7, 1850. Upon his arrival he immediately went to the mines and located at Cook's Bar; in three weeks he was taken sick and returned to Sacramento, where he had to remain six weeks. He then went to work on the American River levee, where he worked a short time and went to the Big Bar mines and remained till January, when he went to Jackson Creek and thence to Amador Creek, where he remained till spring. After a few more wanderings he finally came to San Jose, in 1852, and went to work at the carpenter trade, which he followed for five years. In 1857 he went to the mountains above Lexington, where he took up 160 acres of land under the pre-emption act, where he has since lived. At that time the land was wild and was inhabited by grizzly bears, deer, etc., and he endured great hardships for some years in clearing the land.
Mr. Hebard was married in January, 1849, to Lucinda Dygert, a native of New York, of German parentage. She died in March, 1863. They had four children, all of whom are dead. Mr. Hebard was married again in September, 1874, to Mrs. Lodoiski A. (Girard) Murdock, a native of Mobile, Ala. She has two children, one by her former marriage and one since. Mr. Hebard has 105 acres, twenty-five of which are under cultivation. He has a fine orchard, containing cherries, prunes, plums, peaches, and apples. The rest of his land is in hay, pasture, and lumber. Mr. Hebard was a charter member of the Hook and Ladder Company of San Jose, organized in 1853.
