Q: The information is not displayed after the first load of the page, only after rerendering the second time. Why? The information from openweathermap API is not displayed after the first load of the page, only after rerendering the second time. I can't understand why.
const [latitude, setLatitude] = useState('')
const [longitude, setLongitude] = useState('')

const [data, setData] = useState({})
const [location, setLocation] = useState('')

const metric_units = 'metric'
const API_KEY = '5bb165082febcb3965e5bded762c5711'
const API_URL = `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=${latitude}&lon=${longitude}&q=${location}&appid=${API_KEY}&units=${metric_units}`

// Gets users location from API by latitude and longitude
useEffect(() => {
  if (navigator.geolocation) {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
      setLatitude(position.coords.latitude)
      setLongitude(position.coords.longitude)

      axios.get(API_URL).then((response) => {
        setData(response.data)
        setMyLocation(response.data.name)
        setLocation(myLocation)
      })
    })
 } else {
    alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.")
  }
}, []);

A: I'm not sure but in my perspective you would change your code like the below
useEffect(() => {
navigator.geolocation &&
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
    setApiUrl(
      `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=${position.coords.latitude}&lon=${position.coords.longitude}&q=${location}&appid=${API_KEY}&units=${metric_units}`
    );});}, []);

Now the first render set Lat & Long and now another useEffect fetch data like the blow
 useEffect(() => {
axios.get(apiUrl).then((response) => {
  setData(response.data);
  setMyLocation(response.data.name);
  setLocation(myLocation);
});}, [apiUrl]);

Becuase the first useEffect will work at the first render and create your apiUrl and followed by setting a new apiUrl the second useEffect would be render again to fecth data.
Please let me know if you try it.


With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought I'd share with you this speed art video on how I created this Glittering Text Effect in Photoshop (tutorial originally created for Design Tuts+). Here is the final animation from the tutorial.
This particular tutorial has an interesting story behind it. At this time, I was experimenting a lot with animation techniques using Smart Objects and I would constantly bounce ideas off my wife. One day when I was working on some Photoshop projects, she held up her glittery clutch purse and asked if I could create a tutorial on it.
I actually thought it was a great idea. I borrowed her purse for awhile and would move it around under the light to figure out how I could best emulate the random glittering effect. As I worked on the technique in Photoshop, I decided to apply it as a text effect. Watch below to see a Speed Art video on how I created this glittering text effect. Enjoy!

Stephen, I watched your valentine day text effect video and learn a lot of things. And I have a question to you. One friend of mine suggest me Patrick Johnson's video tutorials. So, he told me to read the review on this site http://www.pstutorialspro.com and then check that out. But I am not sure about the tutorials package. If you know anything about Patrick's or his tutorials then please let me know. Actually I want to know that is it valuable or not. Or is there have others tutorials package to learn advanced Photoshop.

Shelter from the Storm: How to Help the Houston Pets
Kate Karp
For over a week, numerous organizations, businesses small and large, and individuals have been joining in on the rescue and relief efforts for the residents of the city of Houston and its outlying areas. At the last visit to the Red Cross donation page, a red banner announced that the high volume of visitors has overwhelmed the page; I also heard from a (thankfully safe) former high school classmate who lives in Houston that there are about as many volunteers as there are residents—and Houston's a big town.
In today's divisive sociopolitical climate, this is the only heartening thing about the tragedy. And the same thing goes for animal rescue, pets in particular—all these little rescues local and afar that are joining in with the big dogs to do the same thing. Last week, I visited Wild Blue Animal Rescue and Sanctuary (they rescue only cats) in Colorado Springs, and the day I left, they were making preparations to take in about 20 kitties from the Houston shelters. Here in Long Beach, small rescues are donating and fostering, and a few of the members have gone to the affected areas to help rescue and transport pets to shelters, other rescues and fosters. This is heartening, too, especially to animal lovers and advocates.
Your help's needed, too, whether it's donating, fostering or actually going down to Houston. Check out these organizations, and give whatever you can—if everyone gives a small donation, it adds up quick.
Because they're underfunded and overextended, the little dogs will be listed first.
The Mouse—or Chihuahua—that Roared
Live Love Animal Rescue, a Long Beach rescue and advocacy organization, have taken in The Texas Nine: two adult males—a Lab/greyhound mix and a handsome mutt; a young-adult Lab mix; a 4-month-old shepherd/Malinois mix; two young medium-size females—a Boston terrier mix and an Australian shepherd mix; and three adorable doxie-mix puppies, 10 weeks old and all females. The dogs have gotten behavioral assessment and are ready to be fostered. Click on either link above for information.
Live Love also thanks Pet Food Express, Fix Long Beach's Pam Rainsdon,and Angela and the team at The Little Lion Foundation for their role in donating flea meds, toys and dewormers.
Feline rescue Helen Sanders CatPAWS has pledged to take three adult cats and four kittens via Best Friends Animal Society. If you want to contribute to these efforts, visit the link. Better yet, enter the Show Us Your Kitties cat calendar contest or vote for your favorite pinup purrer (Hint: Miss Brooks and Duncan are highly deserving of your vote—each vote costs only a dollar).
K9 Kismet is a foster-based organization that pulls dogs from open-admission shelters and finds them homes. They, too, had a calendar contest that recently ended, and they're giving the overage to help the Harvey rescue efforts.

Operation Blankets of Love (OBOL) is well known for providing comfort and care items to pets in shelters and ones owned by people in need, advocating for animal welfare and against cruelty, and raising awareness of the need to adopt in order to avoid euthanasia and shelter overcrowding. The organization is working overtime to get supplies to Houston: thousands of pounds of pet food, hundreds of blankets, lots of crates, and articles such as bowls, leashes and toys.
"There are many dogs and cats that were not with their family members and rescued in the high floodwaters," read an OBOL press release. "OBOL promises to continue to donate what they need for these family pets until they are all back together safe and sound."
It's going to take weeks and months to reunite pets with their people. Donations are desperately needed and can be made here.
Doug Pennington, who won Long Beach Animal Care Services Spirit of Dr. Eslinger Award in 2016 for going above and beyond, is literally doing that now. At this writing, Pennington was in San Antonio, Texas, with Wings of Rescue, getting ready to fly 30 dogs and 17 cats impacted by Harvey to new homes in Washington State and Oregon. Photo courtesy of Douglas Pennington.
Wings of Rescue is a donation-based charity that flies large numbers of at-risk, healthy pets long distances from high-intake shelters to their network of no-kill shelters throughout the United States and Canada. The organization has its own squadron of volunteer pilots that fly their own planes to help the animals. Since its founding in 2012, the organization has flown 26,000 pets to safety. Their 2017 goal is to fly 10,000 pets with this objective, and with this hurricane, they've probably broken the sound barrier. In partnership with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Wings of Rescue has been flying Fluffys and Fidos from flooded areas in the Houston area as well as parts of Louisiana to San Diego; Manassas, Virginia; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Morristown, New Jersey; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle. They're scheduling five more flights for Monday as of this writing; if they can raise another $25,000, they can add three more flights and fly 300 more pets to safety. You can buy their tickets here.
spcaLA's DART team care for animals during Hurricane Ike in 2008.
spcaLA's elite Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) deployed to Hurricane Harvey to begin the hard work of caring for the hundreds of frightened, injured and sick animals displaced by the floods and scared. spcaLA is a privately funded rescue with locations in Los Angeles, Hawthorne and in the P. D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village here in Long Beach, where it shares the facility with Long Beach Animal Care Services, our city's shelter (the two are separate entities). spcaLA's team of humane officers, veterinary staff and animal caretakers will keep these animals safe, fed and warm so that as the waters recede, they may be reunited with their families. The team will also provide rescue and relief for animals still trapped in the region, as requested by authorities on the ground. To support their efforts responding to Hurricane Harvey and future disasters, please donate here.
The Large, Loyal Breeds: Great Danes, St. Bernards and Mastiffs to the Rescue
Responding to a resident report, the HSUS Animal Rescue Team (ART) returns successfully with two cats who had been trapped in a home along Green Willow Street following Hurricane Harvey. The team rescues any animals they come across, including swift-water rescue. This work also helps local animal shelters coordinate their response options with HSUS Emergency Placement Partners.

The Humane Society of the United States assists anything that flies, swims, walks on four (or three) legs, roots in the dirt, gallops in a canyon, or curls up on a bed. They've shut down puppy mills, helped to protect and educate about wildlife, and fought cruelty and neglect. They were there in force during Hurricane Katrina, and now their emergency responders are rescuing pets stranded in floodwaters and working with local agencies and nonprofits to move adoptable animals out of the immediate area to make room for an influx of pets left homeless by storm damage and severe flooding. HSUS teams are focused on transport of animals from Texas to other states and are assessing additional areas to determine which resources to deploy. They're working with Wings of Rescue and shelters across the country in their efforts to fly pets out of the area. And yes, it costs money. Visit the link above to donate.
An ASPCA responder walks and provides water for one of 41 dogs during one of the stops as the ASPCA transport vehicle makes its way to the ASPCA Adoption Center and Connecticut Humane Society. These shelter dogs were initially evacuated from Corpus Christi, Texas, before Hurricane Harvey devastated the area. They were awaiting transport to shelters and rescue groups and will become available for adoption. Photo courtesy of ASPCA.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is the nation's most venerable animal-advocacy organization. The organization has arranged transports for the Long Beach shelter's pets to other areas of the country where there's a call for adoption and has for decades assisted with rescue, legislation and placement both locally and nationally. And now, they're working shoulder to haunch with all the volunteers in Houston and the surrounding areas, assisting in recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. They're transporting animals and supplies out of some of the hardest-hit regions, helping with sheltering efforts, and providing other resources to the affected communities. Visit the link to donate—100 percent of donations will go to the ASPCA's Field Investigation and Response Fund. This fund is used to support all of the ASPCA's life-saving efforts for animals in disaster and cruelty situations.
The Best Friends Rescue and Reunite Center is busy housing displaced pets. Photo courtesy of Best Friends Animal Society.
Best Friends Animal Society has regional centers in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Salt Lake City. It also operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. They're working hard to assist the rescue effort by putting in place protocols and procedures with key learnings from its rescue-and-reunite efforts during Hurricane Katrina. They're now housing hundreds of animals and are coordinated with other animal organizations such as the ones mentioned above to help with fostering displaced and shelter pets until they're reunited with their humans. Please donate on the link above—this helps not only the organization but all the little guys working with them.
Being a Hero Is a Team Effort
Stray Cat Alliance Founder Christi Metropole states that cats are overwhelming shelters in Houston. Photo courtesy of Stray Cat Alliance.
Finally, Christi Metropole, founder and director of L.A.-based Stray Cat Alliance, has several ways in which to help animals stranded in and rescued from the hurricane area:
Volunteer If you're willing to travel, help is sorely needed to care for the many animals that are overwhelming the Houston-area shelters. Metropole said that they're especially overwhelmed with cats, and in fact, she's out there now helping. She recommends accessing Volunteer Houston, which has launched a Virtual Volunteer Reception Center to aid nonprofits and agencies in finding and deploying people to hard-hit areas.
Supplies are needed, but because of the difficulties with transportation and delivery, it's better to donate the funds to buy supplies. Some organizations have an Amazon Wish Lists set up for this purpose—search for them when you visit Amazon.
Foster If you live in one of the areas that has accepted animals from the Houston area, you can help by fostering shelter and rescue animals because, as stated, they're overwhelmed with taking in rescued pets. Check out Live Love and Helen Sanders CatPAWS (see links in their sections), and keep an eye out for others.
Donate All shelters and rescues need additional funds at this time (including Stray Cat Alliance). Please be careful to donate to legitimate nonprofit organizations! There are people taking advantage of the disaster and scamming the public for donations—be assured that all the organizations mentioned in the article are legit.
If you know of any I've missed, please list them in the comments area either on the homepage or Facebook page. Thanks so much, and all best thoughts to all the pets and people in Houston.

Criminal Case Reopens the Issue of Marijuana's Legal Status
Jacob Sullum | 10.31.2014 4:41 PM
Jacob Sullum
This week a federal judge in California held a hearing on marijuana's legal status under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The context was not, as you might expect, one of those rescheduling petitions that the Drug Enforcement Administration routinely rejects. Instead it was a criminal case. U.S. v. Schweider, in which a man charged with marijuana cultivation is seeking dismissal of the indictment by arguing that the plant's Schedule I status violates the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. The defendant, Brian Pickard, maintains that putting marijuana in the CSA's most restrictive category is so arbitrary and unscientific that it fails even the highly deferential "rational basis" test, which is the standard courts generally use for equal protection cases that do not involve a "suspect class" such as race.
While marijuana's legal status is certainly irrational as that term is usually understood, that does not mean courts will recognize it as such for constitutional purposes. To pass the rational basis test, a law must be rationally related to a legitimate government interest. But in practice, courts will accept pretty much any justification that a government lawyer can offer with a straight face. Furthermore, the courts so far have upheld the DEA's refusal to reclassify marijuana. Given the DEA's legal track record in this area, it is all the more remarkable that U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller, against the prosecution's objections, agreed to a hearing on whether marijuana belongs in Schedule I, which is supposedly reserved for drugs with "a high potential for abuse" that have "no currently accepted medical use" and are so dangerous that they cannot be used safely even under a doctor's supervision.
Although marijuana is supposed to meet all three of those criteria, it is doubtful whether it meets any of them. Like any psychoactive substance, marijuana has some potential for abuse, but it seems absurd to assert, as its placement in Schedule I signifies, that it has a higher potential for abuse than methamphetamine, morphine, and cocaine, all of which are Schedule II drugs, the barbiturates in Schedule III, or the benodiazepines in Schedule IV. In his motion to dismiss the charges against him, Pickard notes that marijuana has a stronger safety profile than many prescription drugs in lower schedules as well as several over-the-counter medications. To rebut the DEA's claim that marijuana has no accepted medical use, he cites the substantial body of research on marijuana's medical applications, its acceptance as a medicine by nearly half of the states, the willingness of doctors in those states to recommend it for patients, and survey data indicating that most doctors think medical use of marijuana is appropriate in some cases.
Defense witnesses elaborated on these points in their testimony this week, highlighting marijuana's long history of use, its remarkable safety, and the evidence of its medical utility. Philip Denney, a California physician specializing in cannabis recommendations, noted that the federal government implicitly recognizes marijuana as a medicine by shipping it to patients under the so-called Investigational New Drug program, which has been closed to new applicants since 1992 but still supplies several patients. The Leaf Online reports that Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Bender objected to that testimony, but Judge Mueller allowed it because Bender was not quick enough with his objection. Bender also helped the defense by noting, while questioning Denney about a study of marijuana as a treatment for chronic pain, that "both smoked marijuana and oral THC were effective."
According to The Leaf, another assistant U.S. attorney, Gregory Broderick, "stumbled badly" while cross-examining Columbia neuropsychopharmacologist Carl Hart. Trying to highlight marijuana's potential for abuse, Broderick cited an estimate, based on data from the National Comorbidity Survey, that 9 percent of cannabis consumers qualify for a diagnosis of "substance dependence" at some point in their lives, based on the criteria laid out in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Hart noted that the latest edition of the DSM says tolerance and withdrawal—two indicators of what the DSM now calls "substance use disorders"—are "normal symptoms to be expected of legitimate medical cannabis use." That point "appeared to stun Broderick," The Leaf says.
Hart also might have noted that the study from which Broderick drew the estimated addiction rate for marijuana found that the rates for cocaine and heroin were substantially higher. Yet cocaine and morphine (which is what heroin becomes after injection) are both in Schedule II, which means they supposedly have a lower potential for abuse than marijuana.
The problem is that key terms in the CSA are undefined, leaving the DEA with a great deal of discretion in applying them. If you define "potential for abuse" based on a drug's appeal to recreational consumers (all of whom are, from the DEA's perspective, drug abusers), putting marijuana higher on the list than oxycodone makes sense, because it's a lot more popular. If you define "accepted medical use" as approval by the Food and Drug Administration (or completion of all the research that would be necessary for FDA approval), it follows that marijuana (as opposed to synthetic THC) is not an accepted medicine, which may also imply that it lacks "accepted safety for use…under medical supervision," especially if you consider the risk of recreational use (a.k.a. "abuse") an intolerable danger. The DEA does not have to define these terms in a way tailored to keeping marijuana in Schedule I, but so far the courts have said it can.
"It's earth-shattering to even have this hearing," Adam Levine, an adjunct professor at Stetson University College of Law in Florida, told The Christian Science Monitor. "The fact that the judge is willing to hear this case means she is willing to question if the DEA's original classification is constitutional."

Whether you're a first-time manager or a newly appointed Chief Technology Officer, every new leadership role comes with new challenges and a steep learning curve. Back to back meetings, managing stakeholders, getting to know your team and firefighting can be overwhelming and make it tough to deliver results. The best approach is to be on the front foot from the very beginning by creating a first 100 days plan and working it through to completion.
In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Steven Covey identifies the 2nd habit as 'begin with the end in mind'. This is a good approach when writing your first 100 days plan. After all, in the words of the late great Yogi Berra, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll end up in the wrong place".
So beginning with the end in mind, 1) what do you want to have achieved by the end of two years in your role? 2) Or if it's an interim role or contract of definite duration, what do you want to have achieved in that period of time? 3) Or put another way, what do you need to do over that period of time to have absolutely nailed the job?
D) the market you are operating in.
Once you've identified your goals, think about whether or not you can be more ambitious with your timeline. 4) What would you have to do to achieve your goals within 18 months? Be ambitious, and pragmatic.
With your sense of direction fine-tuned and your end point identified, you can start thinking about structuring your first 100 days plan.
Using the 'whole systems approach', identify your 'desired outcomes' for the end of your first 100 days. 5) Specifically, what do you need to have achieved by the end of your first 100 days in order to achieve your longer term goals?
In terms of you 'the person', 6) what is the transition you need to make in order to be fully functioning in the role within the first 100 days? 7) In what ways can you make a unique contribution? 8) In what ways do you need to up-skill?
In terms of your role, 9) what targets do you need to hit and what results do you need to deliver? Remember, being ambitious will pay dividends in the long run.
Thinking in terms of the organisation, 10) who your stakeholders? 11) How can you build those relationships? 12) What is the culture of this company and what do you need to do to navigate that culture?
Finally, think about the market – 13) how can you can add value to the market? 14) Is there a gap that needs to be filled? 15) What is your contribution going to be?
Once you've answered these questions in the context of your first 100 days, break the 100 days into 30/60/90 day milestones and work out what actions you need to take by each milestone in order to successfully achieve your goals.
Write it down. Or put it on whatever device suits you. This will help with your thought process and will help you keep track of your progress.
Review and update. Things can, and will change during your first 100 days. Be agile and adapt. Regularly review and update your plan. Do this on a weekly basis to keep on top of things.
Stay focused. If you find yourself working on an activity that isn't in your plan, ask yourself why you are working on it and if it contributes to the 'bigger picture' and goals that you want to achieve. If it contributes to your overall goals, that's great - include it in your plan. If it doesn't contribute to your overall goals, stop doing it.
Share your plan. It's important to share your plan with your line manager(s) and other stakeholders. You can share what you've committed to paper or share your ideas verbally. The plan will act as a vehicle for discussion, and will help you to get your stakeholders to invest in your success. Their input and support in the process will be invaluable.
Don't procrastinate. You might feel like you don't have all the relevant information to create your plan before you start in role or in your first week. I urge you, don't procrastinate. Do it while you are fresh and before you find yourself in the thick of things.
For more information about the 'whole systems' approach or writing a first 100 days plan, feel free to get in touch (colm.flood@first100assist.com).

Fight Choreographer Carla Pantoja, left, works out some swordplay moves with actress Sidney Kinney (and a dragon), for the comic drama "She Kills Monsters," presented by Foothill Theatre Arts November 2-18, 2018, at the Lohman Theatre in Los Altos.
Stage combat coach Carla Pantoja
revels in teaching women to fight
Usually, on stage, it's man on woman; in 'She Kills Monsters,'
women fight women in a meaningful 'Dungeons & Dragons' melee
Carla Pantoja, who was born and raised in Santa Clara, and still lives there, took a summer session in stage combat at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, "and I LOVED it," she said during a recent phone interview.
She continued training for it when she returned to the states.
"It's definitely a field dominated by men," she said. "I remember some fight teachers asking us at the time, 'What are you doing at this fight class? What do you want from it?'
"I said, 'I know I will probably never use this, but I love it.'
"I kind of fell into it. Because I know how to fight, opportunities kind of opened up.
"I played a role in 'Corilanus' at Woman's Will, fought, continued on, and an opportunity to be a fight director came up."
Since then, Pantoja has been an actor and a fight director all over the greater Bay Area, and also teaches stage combat at many schools and colleges. She was certified as a stage combat instructor by Dueling Arts International.
These days, she's been having fun teaching the actors for "She Kills Monsters" for Foothill Theatre.
"'She Kills Monsters' is almost all women,' she said. "It's pretty amazing. The exciting thing about 'She Kills Monsters' is that most of these fights are with female fighters, and they are fighting with weapons.
"The majority of contemporary plays that have violence tend to be focused on violence against on women.
"This show is probably every fight director's dream. I have a feeling this will go into something I will touch again as it comes along. Many times."
Also exciting about "She Kills Monsters" are the weapons the cast — dedicated players of "Dungeons & Dragons" — get to wield.
"All these weapons from 'Dungeons & Dragons!'" Pantoja said. "The theatricality of working with a battle axe that is a kind of halberd. They are metal weapons, stage-worthy weapons, designed to take a beating. There are quarter-staff fights, a big battle axe, broadswords, a short sword, a buckler — which is a kind of small shield."
Pantoja said she was not into martial arts before learning about stage combat.
"It's a different mentality," she said. "In sparring (like in martial arts), the intention is to get the other person. In stage, you work with your stage partner to tell the story. You are letting your partner attack pre-determined parts of your body, and vice versa."
Pantoja is firm about the need for theater companies to hire fight directors.
"I tell them, you don't have the money to hire a stage director, but do you have the money to pay the liability?
"There was a theater company in San Francisco, they were doing an arm lock on an actor — an art director and the director. They didn't have a fight director. They broke the actor's arm while demonstrating how they wanted it done. It was a horrible break.
"You cannot treat actors like tissue, throw them away. … I want to keep my actors safe, so they can fight another day."
"She Kills Monsters," by Qui Nguyen, at first seems almost goofy, a tale of 'Dungeons & Dragons,' filled with nerdy kids playing the seminal role-playing game. The stage is filled with brave heroines and elves and monsters, and everybody's having a great time with swords and magic.
But it evolves into something deep and meaningful, and very touching. It's a story of a family tragedy, and finding hope.
It is the story, more or less, of Agnes, a 25-year-old schoolteacher who lost her entire family in a car crash. While packing up her family's house in Ohio so she can move in with her boyfriend, she finds her 15-year-old sister Tilly's "Dungeons & Dragons" notebook.
She takes the notebook to a high school kid, Chuck, and browbeats him into becoming Dungeon Master, so she can play the game story her sister wrote.
And the game begins to unfold immediately, with a dominatrix, flesh-eating warrior Lillith, and a warrior elf, Kalliope.
And Agnes' dead sister, Tilly — that is, Tillius the Paladin, healer of the wounded and the protector of lights.
At first Agnes is kind of freaked out — she herself was into "normal" things — pop music and boys — and doesn't understand her little sister's interest in this geeky game.
But she wants to make up for lost time. She wants to get to know the little sister she never took the time to know, and thinks she may find her in the game her sister wrote.
It is a fine play.

What Credit Score Is Good Enought To Rent An Apartment?
What credit score is needed to rent an apartment?
Finding the perfect abode is a blessing. When you go apartment hunting, you will realize how difficult it is to find a place that ticks all the right boxes. Let's imagine that after months of hunting, you have finally found the perfect place. You are already planning where which piece of furniture will go.
But, you find out that in order to rent the apartment, there will be a rental credit check, whereby the landlords will be analyzing your credit score for renting. You might not think much of the landlord credit check. However, trust us when we say that your credit score greatly influences the chances of you securing your dream house.
There are various landlords that assign a minimum credit score to rent an apartment. And if you don't meet the benchmark, you can bid the chance of renting the apartment goodbye. However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are many landlords that only ask for your credit score to see if you have any evictions or rental-related issues in your report. Here, having a bad credit score might not harm you necessarily.
There are various people who apply for renting a given place. Landlords run a background as well as a credit check on these people to decide which of them can best deliver timely rents. Your credit score report is taken as evidence of how responsible you have been with your payments so far.
For someone who has recently taken debt or recovered from one will find that their credit scores aren't exactly exemplary. Such people might feel that the credit score requirement is not justified. However, if you think about it from the landlord's perspective, it is easy to understand where they are coming from. Leasing out space to people is a form of business. And everyone wants to reduce the risk associated in their business. Running a credit check allows landlords to do so.
What Is a Landlord Credit Check, Exactly?
To rent apartments, you have to fill out applications. In the rental form, most landlords mention that there will be a credit check during some point of the process. The application demands your consent for it since no one can check your credit report without you authorizing it. Remember, such permissions might be present in the fine prints of the application sometimes. Read it carefully before thinking that you are applying for a no credit check apartments. If you aren't comfortable with such checks, make sure to avoid landlords that ask for it.
These associations deliver tenant credit reports in return of a fee. National Association of Independent Landlord is one such organization. However, when you opt landlords opt for such reports, they are counted as hard inquiries for you and may cause your credit score to decrease.
There are various tenant screening firms operating. Now, not all of them deliver credit reports. But, some do. For instance, e-renter.com is a tenant screening website that allows a landlord to know whether a given applicant has a credit score within the range set by the landlord. Other services may also offer information about evictions and bankruptcies. Since these are classified as a soft inquiry, your credit score doesn't bear the brunt of it.
For credit bureaus to deliver credit reports, you are the one who has to demand the check and hence this too falls under soft inquiry. Popular credit bureaus include Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
There are many people who don't prefer to run credit checks online. Either they might ask about your credit situation in person or ask you to submit the report to them. Even if they ask for a credit check, you might end up paying for it. Usually, the fee of running a credit check is incorporated in the application fee. If the landlord chooses to do a thorough check, you might be asked to pay more.
There is no hard and fast rule about what makes a good and bad credit score for renting places. Mostly, both agencies and people require applicants to have a score of at least higher than 620 to qualify.
So, if you have a score lower than 620, this might signify a default risk to landlords, and they might be less willing to rent you their property. This is especially true if there are a lot more applicants for the rental space.
Do you have a bad credit score? Are you wondering about how to rent with bad credit? Well, here is what you can do.
Don't overestimate your financial status. Instead, before you apply for rent, make sure you make a request to access your credit report. You can get it for free annually via www.annualcreditreport.com. Know what your credit score is and if you think there are any discrepancies that are bringing your score down, let the credit bureaus know so that the mistake can be fixed.
Be careful when sending in your rental applications. Do your house hunting, know of their requirements, ensure that you fulfill those requirements and only then send in your application. Why? This is because the more applications you submit and the more people that request a credit check on you, the lower your score will get.
If you have a poor credit score, you can still prove your financial soundness. How so? By providing evidence of your current employment. However, make sure that this is a permanent job for it to have the same effect. Give the name of your employer as a reference so that the landlord can check your claims.
Apart from your employer, deliver other recommendations as well. This can include contact of your previous landlords and people who can vouch for you.
If you don't mind sharing the space with other people, it is better to rent places as a team rather than alone. Here, the creditworthiness of all individuals is, and their average is taken. This increases the chances of you securing the place since the risk reduces for the landlord.
To prove that you can give rent timely, you might want to pay upfront. Inform the landlord that you are willing to pay four months in advance. The more money you put up front, the less risky tenant you seem.
Not everyone runs credit checks on their tenants. Instead, you can find bad credit apartments as well. If you think that your score isn't good enough to be accepted by those that do run checks, limit your options to those who don't run them altogether.
Which Type of Apartments Doesn't Check Credit?
Large companies always run credit checks. Hence, big complexes won't be the best option for you. Instead, you should look at individual landlords instead. Try to find people who are willing to give you a chance based on your excellent rental history and income rather than a poor credit score.
How should you begin your apartment hunting adventure? Here are ways to find rentals.
This is an online listing where house and apartment owners advertise about their rentals. For this, go to the housing section of the website. Here, you will find all kinds of houses available for rent.
Usually, a local newspaper has a classified ad section where people advertise about selling and renting properties. If you are not into reading newspapers, you can always look it up online.
If you don't want to make an effort of scrolling through ads, you can visit a real estate agency and ask them to look for an apartment for you.
Some people don't advertise in newspapers or list their property with agents. All they do is put up a sign in their yards. Look for such signs in the neighborhoods of your choice.
Know what your financial standing is before you apply for renting a place. Make sure your credit report is accurate. If it isn't, look for other ways to prove your creditworthiness. You can get the house of your dream with a poor credit score. You just need to know how.

Maya Vik Premieres "Totally Right" On Okay Player
February 13, 2014 by Alan D. Welding, posted in Announcement/News
Click Here To Listen To "Totally Right" On Okay Player
Valentine's Day is this week and it also happens to be Maya Vik's birthday. To celebrate, she has a present for you from her upcoming yet untitled album. Produced by Pat Lukens, "Totally Right" is a feel good love song that digs deep into the candy jar of late 80s Jam & Lewis era R&B and emerges with enough sunshine to power a small city. So bust out of your winter funk, check your temperature for spring fever, and enjoy this new song because Maya Vik is here and everything is going to be totally right.
'Music to make babies to' is just one way to describe the sound of Norwegian bass player and solo artist Maya Vik. Although the press have drawn comparisons to Prince, Janet, Sheila E, and Vanity 6, Maya lays down a fresh brand of sexy electronic funk pop with her steamy vocals and thumping bass lines. Years of hard work has paid off for Maya which includes winning a Norwegian "Grammy" with her previous band Montée, playing in Savoy with a-Ha's Paul Waaktaar, opening for Lenny Kravitz, and touring the US, Japan, Russia, Holland, and Germany with her own trio. After independently releasing more than two albums worth of critically acclaimed material in two short years, Maya Vik currently is sitting on a trove of new jams set for release throughout 2014.

"This glamorous, leggy Norwegian singer and bass player is somehow unknown in the U.S., which is odd because her best songs, including "Bummer Gun" and "On It (Kapow!)," have a funky electronic eccentricity that recalls the 1980s smashes Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis concocted for the S.O.S.

CHANT Music Video Blocked From YouTube
April 17, 2013 April 17, 2013 by Alan D. Welding, posted in Announcement/News
Band addresses YouTube's selective censorship
YouTube has censored tribal-industrial drum project CHANT, removing the band's extended music video for their track "Need" late last week.
The video-hosting super-website did not cite specific reasons for the ban, simply noting it had been "flagged as inappropriate", and later removed after determining that "the video content was in violation of their Community Guidelines".
CHANT joins Angelspit, Hirsute Pursuit, and other bands in the electronic-industrial genre that have been
censored by YouTube for their content. Bands such as Die Antwoord, Flaming Lips, Micronauts, and Lenny Kravitz continue to host sexually graphic videos and remain unbanned to this day.
"To quote Bill Hicks, 'I almost forgot this was the USA… the United States of Advertising!'" says Bradley Bills of CHANT. "On one hand, I knew what I created was pushing limits – that it would invoke an emotional response and possibly make some people uncomfortable, but regardless of the subject matter: there's no mistaking that the 'Need' video is an Art film and Art by nature needs no censorship. The video was set to the proper YouTube guidelines, viewable by mature audiences only, and if I were an established artist making coveted ad revenue for YouTube – this would not have been an issue."
CHANT fans had the opportunity to own/view a copy of the 'Need' music video by purchasing a limited edition copy from the Band's site, stored on a USB Thumb drive, along with physical props used in the actual video shoot – all of which have now sold out.
"I'll take the ban as a compliment and find satisfaction knowing that copies of the 'Need' film are also in the hands of my Fans, and as with all Art it will find its way into the public forum again, no matter how many corporations try to censor and decide what we all should or should not have access to see," says Bills.
Later this week, CHANT will re-host the extended, uncensored cut of "Need" to VIMEO.
ABOUT CHANT
CHANT, an Austin, TX based industrial rock project created by Bradley Bills, has toured the US nationally, and released 2 independent albums paving the way to work with many acclaimed artists within the underground music genre (Pigface/Evil Mothers/Die Krupps).

The society meeting on the 6th February was held in The Cartwright Hotel Aynho, and was a presentation by Shanice Meddings from FugiFilm demonstrating their range of cameras. The meeting was very well attended with about forty members present, and we were pleased to welcome several new members. Shanice started with sharing experiences of her early days in photography, pointing out that she was an experienced enthusiastic photographer, and not simply interested in marketing the product. An extensive range of cameras and lenses was laid out for inspection and available for us to handle and assess. Shanice explained that in the past Fugi had produced compact and bridge cameras, they have now decided to leave that field behind and move into mirrorless, top quality camera models. Examples available for inspection were all mirrorless models with APC sensors, which were lighter and smaller than traditional DSLR type bodies. Designed in the style of the film cameras of former days. Aperture settings were on the lens barrel, and speed settings were on the top plate, with an eyelevel viewfinder showing the exact image to be recorded. This enables setting to be made before the camera is turned on. An extensive range of lenses was available to try out, with models up to the latest 200mm lens, coming in at £5000.00! In addition two top of the range medium format cameras with much larger sensors were also available for members to handle. These cameras are capable of producing superb images with extremely fine definition. One portrait of a model had such fine definition it was able to discern the edges of her contact lens. Shanice displayed a series of images showing the capabilities of the cameras.
Following a break, the meeting continued with our usual monthly challenge. This month the challenge was "patterns". A discussion about the definition of a "pattern" concluded that patterns did not necessarily have to be manmade, but patterns in nature were also acceptable. The first round showed new images taken within the month. They ranged from closeup images showing patterns created by nature, to features of buildings and architectural patterns. The usual friendly banter and joking accompanied the images. Round two continued with second choice and reserve images. Some older shots and archive pictures were allowed on this section.

Q: Cannot run android project on netbeans : THIS TOOL IS DEPRECATED error I've installed android for windows and want to develop on netbeans 6.8. I use nbandrdoid plugin, android platform 2.3.3 API 10 revision 1, android sdk tools revision 10, android sdk platform-tools revision 3. I've added the platform to netbeans and create a project, it's like everything is fine until I run the project and get this output at the console
init:

the emulator doesn't showed up at all. my first project code is like this

import android.widget.TextView;

/**

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        // ToDo add your GUI initialization code here
    }
}

What am I supposed to do? thanks for your time.
----- UPDATE -----
I finally can fix this error. At first, I planned to install android SDK offline rather than using SDK Manager. So I followed up this instruction and downloaded the components I need. Everything is extracted correctly except that when I extract the platform using IZArc the file kernel-qemu which located in /platform/images/ is not extracted. But when I manually choose the file from IZArc and drag it to any folder it's extracted. Therefore netbeans console output is like freezing because of that emulator issue and it not show any message that corresponds to that problem. Maybe this is about IZArc configuration but this error cost me for almost a week!

A: I found Eclipse to work way better for android development than Netbeans, maybe give it a try?

Male di miele è un singolo del gruppo alternative rock italiano Afterhours, pubblicato nel 1998 da Mescal ed estratto dall'album Hai paura del buio? del 1997.

Nel 2012, in occasione dell'uscita esclusiva con la Repubblica XL dell'EP Meet Some Freaks on Route 66, il brano viene reinterpretato con un differente arrangiamento. Questa versione prevede l'utilizzo della chitarra acustica elettrificata, l'assenza di base ritmica e un'escursione improvvisativa al posto della parte centrale. È stata registrata al Santa Fe Center Studio con il produttore Doug Geist.

Nel 2014 due cover del brano vengono incluse nella versione reloaded di Hai paura del buio?: quella interpretata dagli Afghan Whigs e la special track di Piero Pelù.

Videoclip
Il videoclip vede il gruppo suonare in scene caratterizzate dal colore viola e dagli effetti a specchio. Nelle sequenze dei cori i membri del gruppo appaiono con maschere di Pluto.

Much of our walking tour was along what must be one of the most fearsome lee shores in the world, the west coast of Ireland; a shore that's battered by relentless west winds raising waves over a fetch stretching to Newfoundland.
We who live, and mostly cruise, on the relatively benign east coast of the North American continent often, I think, forget how lucky we are to be sailing along a shore where the prevailing winds predominantly blow offshore—a weather shore.
I will long remember approaching this edge of Europe under sail for the first time—the Scottish west coast in that case—at the end of a long and gruelling September passage from Iceland, in near gale conditions with storm force winds threatening. I spent hours pouring over the charts to figure out a safe approach with plenty of distance under our lee in case of a problem.
There is just no forgiveness on a lee shore like this.
No wonder the Irish developed light boats covered with skin. With your best option a "harbour" like the one above, you want to get your boat out of the water and up the shore as quickly as you can when you are done with it.
All we can assume is that the owner of this pub in Ireland that we stayed at during our recent walking holiday must have been a cruiser at some time in his life.
Ever since my childhood I have been fascinated by The Heroic Age of Exploration, and Phyllis and I have a huge library of books on the subject.
Our walking holiday was on the Dingle Peninsula, where Tom Crean was born and brought up.
Crean went south on both Scott expeditions and then with Shackleton on the ill-fated Imperial Trans-Arctic Expedition that ended with one of the greatest small boat journeys of all time, from Elephant Island to South Georgia.
Crean has not received a lot of credit compared to the expedition leaders and those participants who wrote books or diaries, but he may have been the toughest of all the hard men that came to the fore on those expeditions.
I'm two-thirds of the way through the book and have found it absolutely riveting—I highly recommend it.
Given the above thoughts on lee shores, this might be the best sailing option on the Dingle Peninsula!
Two years ago, Phyllis and I, with the help of excellent comments from our readers, wrote about a risk that many (probably most) offshore sailors simply have our heads in the sand about: drowning by being dragged on our harness tethers.
I know I have beaten the heck out of this drum, but even so, recent news makes it worth revisiting. Here is a really sobering article from Yachting World with a chilling list of fatalities, and near fatalities, from dragging. And a couple of months after that was published we heard about this terrible tragedy.
We are working on a solution to this on our boat and will be publishing more as we test our new gear and procedures over the summer.
And to reiterate, if you think that your tight low-stretch, or high rigged, jacklines are keeping you safe from dragging, you are probably kidding yourself (as we were).
I don't recall whether I mentioned it or not, but Randy Hooton, who died after going overboard from the bow (SW of Key West), was the brother of one of my wife's life-long best friends and wedding attendant in 1971. She has shared the unpublished details with us, which had to be revised several times as the trauma for his wife made telling the story episodic. As we have read through these accounts, while it is obvious Randy died, a dream died, a marriage died, and a family was brought to its knees. We may never know whether he drowned, but from what we read, there is at least an equal chance the boat bludgeoned him to incapacity first. The seas were running seven feet where the Gulf and Yucatan Currents come together over a sharpy rising Jordan Knoll to form the Florida Current. It was wind against tide, so we imagine the wave periods were quite short. We know the boat motion was ugly. It all comes back to stay on the boat, stay on the boat, stay on the boat.
Thanks very much for sharing that inside information on the tragedy. Reading your brilliantly worded reminder of the far reaching affects really brings the issue home and should make us all more careful.
Totally with you on your assessment NE US coast vs west Ireland. This is the path my life took. I did most of my sailing in New England – mild weather, lots of harbors & nav aids. Never had to face a gale. 14 yrs ago I moved to Clifden, on the west coast of Ireland. I wanted to get a sailboat but was shocked by the far stronger winds (frequent gales in summer, frequent storms & occasional hurricane force in winter), rockbound coast, few harbors, almost nonexistent nav aids. After pondering 5 years I decided on either a small shoal draft like a Drascombe (9″ draft) to run & hide, or haulout by trailer… OR a heavy full keel traditional cutter that could beat upwind in a gale in mixed seas (coastal conditions, getting off a lee shore). The latter would be a big challenge as it would take me way beyond my prior experience. I finally brought a Colin Archer-related ketch, and have found that she easily meets the above requirements. I grew rapidly to meet the challenge. I am now comfortable with ranging far out into the Northeast Atlantic without electronic weather data, just eyeballing the sky & using the barometer, knowing the boat is good for the endless lows that pass through here. I am very much at home on this spectacular coast of western Galway & Mayo.
Currently an American sailor is visiting nearby on his full keel heavy ketch. His boat is perfectly capable, but he is used to the US East coast conditions, and I can feel his shock at local conditions. Given time he will adapt quickly & emerge a far more capable sailor.
Clipping in to a spare halyard before leaving the cockpit to go forward, makes a lot of sense to me , but one doesn't read much about it.
And retrieval ,if necessary, much easier.
Please make comments on POB prevention on the appropriate post in our POB prevention online book where we have already discussed that a alternative at some length. That way all of the accumulated wisdom from you and other members will be in one place where we can all benefit from it.
You have walked in an area I know quite well, having cycled through that part of Ireland several times in the '90s. I would say that it is perhaps our favourite part of Ireland, although because of the very reasons you cite, I am not sure we wish to make landfall there after an Atlantic crossing. Maybe around the "corner" at Kinsale!
I've been reading recently the accounts of the 1998 Sydney Hobart Race disaster. The conditions were truly horrendous with yachts being thrown off the face of hugh waves (one helicopter radiometer recorded a wave of over 140′) and free falling into the approaching trough. The first sailor to perish was at the helm and was thrown into the sea, his safety line snapping. It seems to me that under storm and worse conditions, the only safe place, is inside a solid, fully enclosed dodger with a steering station. Helming in the open with waves breaking over the boat or with the boat under threat of knockdown is madness. Bernard Moitessier had the perspicacity to have an inside steering position on his Joshua.

Financial Freedom and Passive Income Success Guide
Henry Ross Perot
Henry Ross Perot. His rise to billionaire status. Can we emulate his success?
H Ross Perot, a multibillionaire worth 4.4 billion in 2007, is the 76th richest person in the United States. The turning point that propelled him to success is important for us to understand: He realized that he had to go into business for himself when, at a barbershop, a quotation from Henry David Thoreau reprinted in Reader's Digest caught his eye: 'The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.'
Perot resolved never to let that phrase apply to himself and decided to quit IBM and start his own business, Electronic Data Systems (EDS). Moving from being an employee to being a business owner was crucial to his rise to success.
H Ross Perot: Innovation in Business
How was Perot's business different? When EDS was first incorporated, company industry services were usually only restricted to basic processes such as billing and payroll. Perot differentiated his business by tackling more complex tasks: installation of systems, facilitating the switch from manual to automated data processing. These unique capabilities then prepared Perot for success when the Fed introduced Medicare in 1965.
As an unexpected flood of claims swamped health insurance providers, the EDS-designed Texas Blue Cross-Blue Shield Medicare program became an exemplar of efficiency in computer processing.
EDS also pioneered in several other areas: facilities management, where Perot did a complete overhaul of the previously inefficient operations systems in many companies and replaced them with new-efficiency services.
H Ross Perot Leadership in Business
Leadership in business is another crucial ingredient for success. Perot stressed that authority to make decisions should remain in the field instead of in the corporate bureaucracy. The EDS procedural manual is starkly simple: 'Do what makes sense'.
His personal charisma and inspirational leadership was also important. He inspired with his tenacity and personal mottos such as 'Eagles don't flock. You have to find them one at a time.'
Similarly, Henry Ross Perot emphasized giving employees ownership of the company. The company's compensation plan emphasized stock options, resulting in the creation of more than a hundred millionaires at the company. Employees naturally responded to these financial incentives positively: they followed the motto 'whatever it takes' and were not afraid to put in extremely long hours for difficult projects. In essence, they had a stake in the company's success, and naturally would want to work hard as possible so their options would hit the strike prices! (Options are a creative way to set financial goals for the company!)
The same applied to the company's acquisition of top talents. When the EDS stock went public, Perot lured engineers to the company with equity participation.
Building personal relationships to foster loyalty
Henry Ross Perot also took a personal commitment to his employees' well-being. He showed appreciation for spouses who had to endure the side effects of the intense work hours at EDS, and occasionally would even show up at the maternity ward when a child was born in the EDS family. Operation HOTFOOT (Help Our Two Friends out of Teheran) was even more dramatic; it was a 1979 rescue of two EDS employees held unlawfully in an Iranian prison.
Low Overheads
The EDS consultant teams worked on customers' premises, thereby needing no office space. Staff meetings were held in Perot's Blue cross office, which was rented for only $100 a month.
IPO to Success
Listing on the public market was explained much of Perot's dramatic rise to billionaire status. As Fridson noted, EDS came to market at a near-record 118 time earnings, or $16.50 a share.
Although H Ross Perot insisted on underwriting the highest valuations of his stock possible, prices climbed enormously in the frenzied buying of high-tech stocks. Within a year, EDS rose to $160 a share, resulting in a price-earnings multiple of 500. He effectively became a billionaire by 1969, while Henry Ross Perot's nine million EDS shares were worth almost $1.5 billion on paper.

Lowender Peran is a Cornish music and dance festival based in Newquay at the Hotel Bristol. Lowender is full of great live music, things to do for all the family with an amazing atmosphere.
Lowender Peran is a registered Charity set up to encourage recognition of Cornwall`s heritage and Celtic links as a vibrant, living tradition that people of all ages and backgrounds can participate in and enjoy. To recognise and value your own and roots and identity is an essential first step in recognising valuing and respecting other peoples. If Cornwall is to survive as a distinct entity in the future then each generation must show the next that our culture has something to offer them that is worth carrying forward into the future. Lowender Peran provides the ideal medium through which to do this.
Whether it was by rebelling against one of the most powerful medieval Kings in Europe, by cradling the industrial revolution or by a unique interpretation of Wesley's preaching, Cornwall and the Cornish have a long history of expressing a distinctive identity.
From the latter part of the 19th Century there was a steadily increasing recognition and promotion of a Celtic dimension to Cornish identity stemming initially from the linguistic links between Cornish and the other Celtic languages but later moving on to a wider cultural base represented by Cornwall's acceptance into the Celtic Congress in 1904 and the establishment of the Cornish Gorsedh in 1928.
The banner of Celtic Cornwall was picked up by succeeding generations a there was an annual Celtic festival held in St Ives in the early fifties and by the seventies Cornish folk singer pioneer Brenda Wooton found herself acting as Cornwall's ambassador in the growing number of Celtic festivals.
The Pan Celtic Festival, then held in Killarney, was particularly supportive of the Cornish and encouraged performers to attend and take part in the competitions.
Con O'Connell, the executive director of the festival made frequent visits to Cornwall to drum up support and found an ardent enthusiast in Betty Pitman of Perranporth who lead a party of Cornish to the festival throughout the 70s.
Encouraged by the successful entry of Kemysk in the Celtic Singing competitions in 1978 Betty was determined that Cornwall should have it's own Celtic festival and by October of that year it did. There was a weeklong festival of what Betty deemed as Celtic activities which included a variety of water sports, tug of war teams and wrestling as well as music and dance. A short while after the first festival Betty booked up the dates and venues for the next year and called a meeting of interested parties, committed them to running the event and then promptly resigned!
The festival was named In recognition of Peran and Lowender Peran was born. Cornish Dance Folk dancing and dance displays were, and are, a key feature of the Celtic festivals as they provide the opportunity for pageant and colour as well as the expression of identity through costume and tradition.
The Cornish group visiting the festival in 1999, inspired by references to the "lancers" being done at troyls held in the fish cellars at Newquay, had adapted parts of the Royal Cornwall Quadrilles from Godolphin House as folk dances to provide a display of dance from Cornwall during the festival. What they had not appreciated was the extent to which the popular "Kerry sets" had also been influenced by the quadrilles of the country houses and that the Cornish quadrilles. There was also much interest in the traditional Cornish step and furry dances but one festival organiser in particular, Ian O'Leary, provided a great deal of encouragement was given to continuing research into Cornish dance tradition.
The dances collected in Cornwall during this period provided a core of material which encouraged the development of Cornish dance display groups and an increasing use of Cornish dances for troyls / barn dances.
Cam Kernewek formed late in 1979 and were quickly followed by Ros Keltek in early 1980 so that Cornish dance displays and troyls were a feature of the 1980 festival and have remained a core part of the festival since that time. Cornish Music Whilst main stage concerts are enjoyed by all and our own bands are regularly joined by well known performers from the Celtic Diaspora, the opportunity to participate has been a key feature of Lowender Peran from the outset.
From the informal sessions that spring up throughout the festival to the opportunity for a spot on the acoustic stage or the Droll Adro story tellers tale swop this continues to be a part of the culture of Lowender Peran. Celebrating a wider Cornish heritage The cover 20th anniversary programme for Lowender Peran depicted a fish wife in work wear costume and marked a move in emphasis towards the celebration of a wider Cornish heritage.
This shift in emphasis eventually lead to the launch of the "An Daras Cornish Folk Arts Project" in 2003 and the regular inclusion of events involving, dialect, verbal arts, costume and Cornish history and folklore as well as an extended range of crafts in the "Celtic Market".

Modern Cornwall was born in the first millennium. Archaeology points towards a golden age of trade and communication in Cornwall not only between the Celtic communities of the Atlantic Arc but extending as far as the Eastern Mediterranean. This is the era that gave us our Celtic crosses, our saints, the circular "forts" on our hill tops and our holy wells, all of which continue to mark our landscape as distinctively Cornish. This is the era in which the Brythonic languages of Welsh, Cornish and Breton divided into separate entities but retained their family relationships. Look out for our Levow Brythonnek / Brythonic Voices concert on Saturday night!
Towards the end of the first millennium, circa 930, the Wye was set as the border between England and the "Northern Britons" i.e. the Welsh and the Tamar as the border with the "Western Britons" i.e. the Cornish and Cornwall as we know it today was born. Cornwall's position on the sea lanes ensured that communications and trade with the Celtic world were maintained into the modern period even if that meant dabbling in a spot of smuggling!
The identity of modern Cornwall is also defined by its role at the forefront of the industrial revolution and mining technology. As well as the ubiquitous engine houses, and a rather romantic image of mining and the culture that went with it, this has left Cornwall with a large and very Cornish global Diaspora. It is a matter of some irony that it was the collapse of the mining industry that triggered Cornwall's reconnection with its Celtic roots. Cornish self confidence and sense of identity suffered a blow at the loss of its industrial prowess. This was the point at which the Celtic revivalists campaigned to reassert a sense of Celtic identity in Cornwall.
Cornwall was accepted as member of the Pan Celtic League (later to become Celtic Congress) in 1904. The first Old Cornwall Societies formed in the 1920s and lead this directly to collaboration with the Welsh and Breton Gorsedds to revive Gorsedh Kernow and an inaugural ceremony in 1928. It also lead to collaboration with the Celtic Congress to hold a wider Celtic festival in Cornwall. An inter-Celtic festival planned for the early 1930s fell foul of a national rail strike and the second planned for 1939 was cancelled due to the outbreak of war. In 1949 the first Cornish inter-Celtic festival was finally held in St Ives and boasted Irish and Cornish dance workshops as well as events and concerts involving the Celtic languages.
instrumental in continuing the momentum created by the earlier Celtic revivalists. Representatives from these festivals, Polig Montjerrat from Brittany and Con O'Connel from Ireland encouraged performers and Cornish activists generally create their own inter-Celtic festival which they did in 1978 with the formative Lowender Peran.
The history of Cornwall over the past 40 years is mirrored in the history of Lowender Peran. Perhaps the most momentous change during that period has been the formal recognition of Cornwall and its culture by both the Council of Europe and the U.K. Government. The Council of Europe is quite separate and distinct from the European Union! It was set up under the leadership of Churchill in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War with the intention of protecting and indeed celebrating national minority groups as part of the essential cultural fabric of modern Europe. In 2003 the Cornish Language was recognised by the Council of Europe and in 2014 the Cornish themselves were recognised as a national minority with their own distinctive culture alongside of the Welsh and the Scottish peoples.
Cornish language as a living part of the festival. The Language office has also been instrumental in our ability to put together events like the Cornish Shanty singing and our outreach programme to schools across Cornwall.
So what will the next 40 years bring? Well for starters next year we are going to feature Cornish Guizing traditions. These are the dance drama customs that acted as a medium throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for much of the Cornish traditional culture we enjoy today. 2020 marks a series of anniversaries for the Celtic revival including the 100th anniversary of the Old Cornwall Societies and the 50th anniversary of the Festival Interceltique. So you can be sure that we will be pushing the boat out on that one!


What is the middle coil of a microwave transformer for?
I need to know what the middle (approx 5 turn) coil of a microwave transformer is for, does it need to be there for the transformer to work properly and what difference will there be without it?
I am not going to reinstall this transformer in a microwave it has been modified to output 10KV to power a Tesla coil.
Its the heater supply for the Magnetron. Just leave it, it won't affect anything.
Does it matter if I remove it?
There was a massive performance improvement when I pulled out the shunts between the primary and secondary, 5KV improvement.
No, but you could use it to derive a nice 5 V supply for other stuff in there.

St Joseph's College of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu, to Explore Opportunities in Foreign Exchange Programme
The Management of College of Nursing Sciences, St. Joseph's Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu, Anaocha LGA, Anmanbra State, plans for the College to commence an exchange programme with foreign health institutions to enable the students and staff to explore opportunities for the maximization of potentials.
The plan to commence the foreign exchange programme for students and staff of the College was disclosed to Fides on Saturday, December 14, during the capping/matriculation of midwifery and pioneer nursing Students of the College.
Fides learnt that the plan was conceived based on the suggestions put forward to the management by Prof. Philip Ilozumba, who chaired the capping/matriculation ceremony of 2019/2020 set of students of the College, of the immense benefits which the students and staff would gain from the exchange programme.
Putting forward his suggestion, Prof. Ilozumba, former Head, Department of Animal Sciences, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojoukwu University, Igbariam Campus, explained that it was important that the College and other health delivery systems in Nigeria began exchange programmes with those institutions Nigerians visited to get health services outside the nation. He maintained that the exposure to be gained from the exchange programme would help in improving the health system.
He identified attitude as one of the greatest problems facing the Nigerian health system, saying that Nigeria had better qualified healthcare practitioners than most countries where Nigerians travelled to for Medicare. He called for a change of attitude among health workers for better results to be achieved in the health system within the country.
Reacting to the suggestion, the Administrator of St. Joseph's Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu, Fr. Jerome Okafor, described the suggestion as a welcome idea which would be explored after due consultation and approval by the proprietor, Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor, the Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese. He expressed optimism that the college would explore opportunities inherent in exchange programmes and ensure that the College would keep brazing the trail in area of nursing.
He stated that the College would commence the exchange programme with countries in West Africa before venturing into the shores of America and Euro due to the financial intensity of the programme.
For her part, the Provost of the College, Mrs. Francisca Atakulu, said the exchange programme to be embarked upon by the College would bring a better attitudinal change among health workers. She said that the students of the college through the exchange programme would be better positioned to correct the stereotype associated with the nursing profession. She said that the college, having produced the overall best in the March 2019 Nursing and Midwifery Council Final Qualifying Examination for Midwifes in Nigeria, would maximize the gains of an exchange programme to keep beating other Colleges of Nursing Science in Nigeria.
Also Speaking, the Proprietor of the College, Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor, reaffirmed that the College Management would take extra steps to ensure that people who graduated from the College were those who would offer quality health services in an exceptional way. He stated that the conducive environment required for effective learning would be maintained, saying that an environment had great input in the excellence to be recorded by students.
