NATIONAL REPORT – A recent survey reveals profound differences between black and white adults in their views on racial discrimination, barriers to black progress and the prospects for change.
Blacks, far more than whites, say black people are treated unfairly across different realms of life, from dealing with the police to applying for a loan or mortgage. And, for many blacks, racial equality remains an elusive goal, according to the Pew Research Center survey.
An overwhelming majority of blacks (88%) say the country needs to continue making changes for blacks to have equal rights with whites, but 43% are skeptical that such changes will ever occur. An additional 42% of blacks believe that the country will eventually make the changes needed for blacks to have equal rights with whites, and just 8% say the country has already made the necessary changes.
A much lower share of whites (53%) say the country still has work to do for blacks to achieve equal rights with whites, and only 11% express doubt that these changes will come. Four-in-ten whites believe the country will eventually make the changes needed for blacks to have equal rights, and about the same share (38%) say enough changes have already been made.

Discussion in 'iPad' started by Eleyva, Nov 4, 2013.
I cannot get my ipad air from Att to work with my iphone sim car that has unlimited can some one please advice me if there is something else I need to do thank you.
I put in the aim card then I reboot the phone and reset network settings it shows 4g for a second and then no service.
Looks like AT&T may be blocking iPads on phone SIM cards now. Before, if you put in a phone SIM on a non-phone device, you just get a "friendly" message about needing the correct plan. Perhaps now they're just blocking tablets outright.
Toggle between airplane mode on and off and it will work let me know!
Will this method work for a SIM from a T-Mobile phone as well? Anyone have the APN that works?
I think there is go to the same page and try all T-Mobile APN and see if any of them works. Of course you will need to remove the one installed before installing the next one hope this help.
T-Mobile and AT&T block phone sims from being used in iPads/tablets. Don't waste any more time trying.
Right, but how do they know? There's no way for them to know really. They're not checking IMEI in real-time. And furthermore why would they care? iPhone and iPad use data in the same way.
They are checking and this is why you can't use the phone sim in an iPad or other tablet. It used to work at one time for both AT&T and T-Mobile but they started blocking some time ago.
They do this because they want you to use a data plan for the tablet and a phone sim for a phone. No other reason, oh and profit.
There's got to be a way around it.
I have never heard of a way.
For Att there is... Tmobile don't know.
How does one bypass ATT's device detection? Should work the same on TMO. Device detection is by IMEI, so if you say use a different APN, that's not circumventing the IMEI detection.
I can confirm AT&T unlimited 5s sim getting LTE on Verizon ipad air with unlockit.co.nz apn settings set to at&t(HSPA+).Sim has been in the ipad for 4 days nothing strange from at&t yet.Speedtest.net app speeds 18 to 19 kbps down 8 to 10 kbps up.AT&T LTE name in notification line.
i might try it. I have an iphone 5s unlimited.
switched my iphone 5s sim into ipad mini retina, turned airplane on and off. booooom, works. Banner initially says 4g but then switched to LTE.
Speedtest is 7mbps down and 6mbps up. Nice.
Which carrier? I had always read that on AT&T at least they detect that you are using an iPhone sim in an iPad and they send a warning before they suspend your account. If that's not happening anymore then that's an interesting development.
ah ok, im with ATT. If i get a notice that'll be the end of that. To be honest i would harldy ever not have access to wifi so doesnt worry me too much. Just was curious if it was even possible.

Re: PlayOn channel no longer works
rpmiles
Excellent solution , I had no clue roku media player exists , works as well as PlayOn
Buzzyya
Go to m.playon.com on your phone and cast to your roku
I meant to say m.playon.tv and cast to your roku and you can still skip commercials
sfoster95
I just realized this as well. I reached out to Playon and am waiting for a response as to why only the Playon Cloud channel is Available when their site FAQ for Playon Home says it can be accessed on Roku
don't uninstall playon because the roku media channel works with your playon install !
it works exactly like playon did for streaming vid clips
@LesPaul71 wrote:
I have then same issue but there is a work around.
Instead of using PlayOn Media player on Roku, use
the Roku media player. It recognizes PlayOn Home
on your network and can open files or folders thru it.
Works and looks very similar to Media Player. Disappointing
yes, but at least you can still stream your stuff. Hope this
helps others.
Very cool find.
Since both Roku Media Player and PlayOn support DNLA network streaming, it seems this still provides access. Roku seems dedicated to providing DNLA, MiraCast and AirPlay as options on their product.
Reading between the lines of Kariza's response, I don't think Roku wants to frustrate it's users like this. However, being a company located in the USA and having to maintain good relationships with other media/content companies, I think they might be required to show greater independence from PlayOn. Some of the features that PlayOn markets as providing seem to fall into a grey'ish area. USA's DMCA, agreements with Google Widevine or other business relationships might make having PlayOn directly on the Roku channel store precarious situation.
I read Kariza's response as likely being from someone that would like to say more but by policy can't. The terse wording might not be to our liking but is probably the best they could do under the circumstance.
Hopefully DNLA, MiraCast and AirPlay will continue to be accepted as industry standards that fall under the "Betamax case" exception of being substantial legitimate fair use.

And when trying to use customer support, I found that I wasn't elegible. Apparently you only get support if you buy more expensive items.
What model of Roku do you have? I'm not aware of Roku restricting support based on product price. They do end support for aged end of life models. This life cycle seems to be around 5 years from when the model is first introduced to the market. In comparison, Motorola will gladly take over $600 to get a high end smart phone and then only two years later discontinue support and security updates.
Unfortunately the new Roku Express is only available on pre-order. But the Roku Express 4K+ is available right now for only $40. It is my belief anyone that gets it is eligible for the same level of support as a customer that buys a Streambar Pro for $180. The claim that support only comes with the more expensive items does not make sense to me based on the information I currently have.
Hi fluke,
Thanks for your reply. Your work around sounds great. I wish I'd waited longer before replacing the Roku.
The model I have is a Roku Express, but when I couldn't find answers, I clicked on Agent Help and was given the message "Sorry, you're not eligible for agent support at this level." That's when I decided to get a Fire Stick, which works fine with PlayOn.
Roku "Express" devices aren't eligible for any kind of agent support. It's been that way for quite a while. Given their low cost I can't say I blame Roku - it's hard to justify providing agent support that will quickly cost as much as the device did. It should be noted prominently on the package or device information page, but that's Roku for you.
@renojim wrote:
So Roku Express does not getting any support or is restricted to email support?
I kind of can "blame" Roku. The $30 product known as "Chromecast with Google TV" (what an awful product name) is entitled to the following support options:
* Get a call (currently less than 1 minute wait)
* Chat (currently less than 1 minute wait)
* Via Facebook
* Via Twitter
Hours of operation is 12:00 Am to 11:59 PM including on weekends.
I don't know the quality of the support but I know the product doesn't feel as polished to me as Roku. Either way, Roku's lack of chat support for their product of a similar price point just doesn't feel completive. That is disappointing.
It isn't my work around, LesPaul71 is the one that pointed out the DLNA method still works.
Set your expectations low for Fire TV Stick. The latest stick runs Fire OS 7 which is based largely on the AOSP version 9 which is from 2018. AOSP is now on version 13. The project last released a security update for version 9 on January of this year. Each of the monthly security bulletins since then have indicated the updates are only for version 10 and above. It is unlikely that version 9 is now completely secure, they just have stopped supporting it despite Amazon still trying to use it in production in devices still sold and in use.
In terms of support, Amazon live chat is technically provided for "support" regardless of the cost of the Fire TV Stick. But calling it support would be stretching the definition of the word beyond breaking. Each chat agent seem to have only 10 minutes to complete the discussion. This was accomplished by throwing out nonsensical random suggestions unrelated to the problem and since the chat didn't end in time they would transfer to another agent to complete it from their own session. The next agent may or may not admit to being able to read the previous discussion. Several times you might find yourself repeating to another agent that clearly has no interest in reading the actual problem and has no focus on actually supporting the Fire TV Stick. After an hour of transferring around, I was offered an Amazon gift card for my next purchase as their apology for being "unable to help."
If PlayOn is the primary use of the streaming device, my recommendations if products would be in this order:
Roku (via Roku Media Player)
ChromeCast with Google TV (not to be confused with ChromeCast 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation)
I can't speak to the support of any of the three of those but the products seem much better than the Fire TV Stick. Of each of the options, Roku still feels the most polished overall.
Avrution
From Playon directly:
The PlayOn and MyMedia channels for Roku were made using the old SDK which Roku decided to no longer support. We had lost the ability to update these channels a while back, but the channels remained in the channel store. Unfortunately, Roku decided to delete these channels and other channels that used their old SDK over the last few days. While we look into alternatives, please see the information below for options for your Roku player.
For PlayOn Home recordings (if you prefer to use a mobile app), you need to Cast directly from the PlayOn Cloud app Home section to the Roku player. The Cloud cast channel should launch and your recordings should begin playback.
Using the Cast feature from the Home tab in the PlayOn Cloud app does not require the use of the Cloud service.
For PlayOn recordings on your PlayOn Home PC (if you prefer to use the PC app), you can Cast directly from the PlayOn Home app to the Roku player. The Cloud cast channel should launch and your recordings should begin playback.
For PlayOn Cloud recordings, you need to Cast directly from the PlayOn Cloud app to the Roku player. The Cloud cast channel should launch and your recordings should begin playback.
Casting from the PlayOn Cloud app or PlayOn Home is the best alternative if captions and AdSkip are important.
Keep in mind, the PlayOn Cloud Cast channel is a receiver only. It will not launch with any type of interface on your Roku.
For access to any Media Library content you may have, the Roku Media Player channel is an option if a dedicated channel is preferred on the Roku. Keep in mind, this app was not developed by PlayOn and does not support our new captions or AdSkip.

The legislature is now at a point when the pace clearly accelerates. There are more bill hearings and floor votes, increased discussions about legislation, and more visits from advocates and special interests.
I consider it a privilege to have many visits from constituents on issues that are important to their families and businesses. This is a critical part of my responsibilities since they help to inform me about issues upon which we may vote and helps me to understand the breadth of concerns facing our communities. I always appreciate these visits.
I met with two young men from the district in the past couple of weeks. I was "shadowed" by Usjid Hameed, a senior at Dulaney High School, who stayed with me as I met with advocates, attending hearings and was on the floor of the House. He was very curious about the legislative role we have.
One of the House pages last week was Tom Brennan, a senior at Loyola Blakefield. He told me about his success in expanding recycling at his school, his interest in environment and how interesting it is to serve as a page. Then, he challenged me to do more to reduce the hard ("impervious") surfaces that allow polluted run-off from getting into the Bay! He's right!
Dallas Dance, the Superintendent of the Baltimore County Public Schools met with our County House delegation and shared his recommendations for: closing the education gap and raising the achievement bar, for managing the system's growth and for funding future needs. He has been identifying the different performance levels in the schools so that resources can be provided where needed. He is also developing a comprehensive, long range infrastructure plan to address the issues of our ageing schools.
The hybrid school board bill was heard last week. The parents and educational advocates who testified did an outstanding job. They spoke of the need for accountability and responsiveness and the overwhelming support that the PTA Council of Baltimore County has given for this change. The bill provides for the election of six members and the appointment of five people. This would be a change from the all appointed Board we now have. A committee hearing was a first, and important, step to passage.
Job Development and Creation
EARN (Employment Advancement Right Now) was heard in both the House and the Senate. HB227 provides funding for workforce training collaboration between businesses, local governments, non-profits and community colleges to create jobs in the private sector. EARN seeks to close the gaps between the real workforce needs and the skills that Marylanders have. Such a collaborative is overdue in this tough economy.
The Veterans' Full Employment Act of 2013, HB225 will facilitate an expedited process for issuing professional licenses, registrations and certificates to active duty military, veterans and their spouses who are settling in Maryland. When military personnel relocate they often are unable to transfer licensures in order to find work. Agencies will also develop criteria for granting credits for the experience that military personnel and vets have had. We need to encourage and assist those who have served to enter and remain in Maryland's work force.
This year's Public Private Partnership bill, HB560 has the solid support of businesses, labor and local governments. As last year's floor leader on the bill, I was glad to see greater agreement in support of an initiative that can bring substantial private capital to needed infrastructure projects. P3s can be an important way to rebuild transportation, wastewater, and water systems and, perhaps, other public facilities. Strong partnerships can help meet our needs without relying on increases in taxes.
Gun Violence and Death Penalty Legislation
The two biggest issues the legislature has seen, so far, is the Governor's proposal to repeal the death penalty and to implement a number of changes in our gun laws, including licensing, background checks for purchases, the banning of assault weapons and a reduction in the size of bullet clips or magazines.
Both of these issues have drawn thousands to Annapolis and thousands of emails and contacts with my office. I have previously stated my position in favor of both efforts – and received a large number of pro and con comments. Hearings have been long, contentious and full of passion on both sides. I do not know when we will be asked to vote on either the death penalty repeal or any parts of the gun legislation.
As always, please let me know if you have any concerns or want to share your thoughts on these or other issues. I can be reached at Stephen.Lafferty@house.state.md.us and at 410-841-3487.

Q: ogr: how to use epsg database for RD New projection? I'm trying to assign this EPSG projection to my newly created shapefiles using ogr.
The OGR Projections Tutorial says:

...any geographic coordinate system in the EPSG database can be set by it's GCS code number if the EPSG database is available

But this doesn't work for me:
spatialReference = ogr.osr.SpatialReference()
spatialReference.SetWellKnownGeogCS("Amersfoort / RD New")

returns 6 at the prompt.
Doesn't work either (also returns 6 at the prompt by the way):
spatialReference.ImportFromEPSG(28992)

This does work (returns 0 at the prompt):
spatialReference.SetWellKnownGeogCS("WGS84")

If I define the proj4-string manually it works too (also returns 0).
proj4_str = "+proj=sterea +lat_0=52.15616055555555 +lon_0=5.38763888888889..."
spatialReference.ImportFromProj4(proj4_str)

Conclusion: Not all codes from the EPSG database are available. The spatialReference.XXX() -methods return a code for setting the projection successfully or not(?). Has somebody more experience concerning these techniques and can explain what is going on?

A: EPSG:28992 is projected system, not geographical so you cannot call SetWellKnownGeogCS() for it. You need to define both ellipsoid (GeogCS) and projection method (ProjCS) for projected systems. For UTM projection you can set both explicitly:
proj = osr.SpatialReference()
proj.SetProjCS("UTM 30N (WGS84)")
proj.SetWellKnownGeogCS("WGS84")
proj.SetUTM(30, True)

where SetProjCS() only sets name, not the parameters. For non-UTM projections calling
proj.ImportFromEPSG(28992)

sets both for you (ellipsoid and projection).

A: From the docs:

The following well known text values are currently supported:

*

*"WGS84": same as "EPSG:4326" but has no dependence on EPSG data files.

*"WGS72": same as "EPSG:4322" but has no dependence on EPSG data files.

*"NAD27": same as "EPSG:4267" but has no dependence on EPSG data files.

*"NAD83": same as "EPSG:4269" but has no dependence on EPSG data files.

*"EPSG:n": same as doing an ImportFromEPSG(n).

That explains why
spatialReference.SetWellKnownGeogCS("Amersfoort / RD New")

doesn't work. The code below
spatialReference.ImportFromEPSG(28992)

works for my machine while
spatialReference.SetWellKnownGeogCS("EPSG:28992")

doesn't. Can you test it on your machine?

doesn't work,I think it's still not in the EPSG database that comes with GDAL. ( Got no results while grepping for 28992 in csv files that contain the EPSG codes )
I still don't know.

Mr. Bennett has represented school boards, other local governments, police officers, and private employers for more than 20 years. After practicing in a regional litigation firm for most of his career, Mr. Bennett concluded that clients need, and deserve, a more personal connection with their attorneys. Ms. DeCamp and he have built Bennett & DeCamp around the purpose of providing high quality, personally focused legal representation to value conscious community leaders and businesses.
Mr. Bennett focuses heavily on the needs of local school systems, their employees, and students. His practice includes every aspect of this diverse area, including employment, discrimination and equity issues, contracts and vendor relations, policy development, student discipline, bullying and harassment, risk management, first amendment issues, tort claims, governance issues, internal investigations, and the like.
Of course, special education is an aspect of education law. It is so technical, however, that it merits its own emphasis. Mr. Bennett supports local school systems and their teachers with IDEA issues and Section 504/Title II compliance. He regularly attends IEP team and 504 committee meetings to help educators and parents understand and address the rights of students to a free, appropriate public education. And if it ever becomes necessary to go to due process, Mr. Bennett understands that everyone is actually on the same side -- the side of the child.
Mr. Bennett's representation of school boards and other local governments actually grew out of his employment and civil rights practice. He is experienced with state and federal employment laws including the ADA, ADEA, FLSA, THRA, retaliation, Title VII, workplace harassment, and wrongful discharge.

Here are some tools I like to use.

I love meeting people so say hello and lets go grab a beer.


The Knockouts of the Double R is a "aqua blue jelly with white flakies and white squares in 2 different sizes, topped off with aqua blue shimmer". Yes, puhhhleaseee. That shimmer is my favorite, you should have guessed that by now bahaha. This was meant to match characters' uniforms from Twin Peaks (I've never seen the show, is that bad? haha).
I did 3 coats of The Knockouts of the Double R. It had a great smooth application that didn't give me any issues. Dry time was also great. I have 0 complaints for this polish.
That macro. Did you see that macro? Look at it again. DAT. MACRO. Damn Fine Coffee is a "deep brown jelly packed with gold & red flakies, plus golden iridescent hexes in 2 different sizes". I never seem to gravitate to brown indies, but whenever I get one in my hands I seem to like it! The red flakies are the best part of this, in my opinion. Sure, brown and gold are great! But the red gives it a little somethin' special I think.
If you're looking to purchase these, or other Hare polishes, I highly reccomend following Hare on Facebook.

Customer Reviews for Jessys Shoe Repair
2107 N Western Ave Chicago, IL 60647
Nothing. Staff was patient and perseverent. He helped us complete all necessary steps
Eric Martin S.  (12/19/2021)
Despite talking to two U-Haul customer service agents who confirmed I could pick up my truck before the location opens and receiving instructions via text about this as well, I get to the store and was not able to do so. I sat outside for multiple hours waiting to get my truck. The employee said U-Haul didn't tell him he needed to be at the store until 2 hours after my reservation.
Matthew R.  (12/5/2021)
Inside of truck was dirty. There was a bag of trash and food in the bag—disgusting. Gas tank was almost empty. I ordered and paid for additional equipment but it wasn't in the truck. Had to go to another location to pick it up and was charged again. Register my complaint w customer service and was told someone would contact me but have not heard from anyone. Horrible service and experience.
Anthony P.  (12/1/2021)
Phoebe T.  (11/27/2021)
It was a bizarre experience. When we arrived Jessy was nowhere to be found, instead his brother called him up, and put him on speaker phone for us to complete our reservation. He then hung up on us many times throughout the process and told us to instead text him. And then they just told us to find the uhaul on the street, did not know which one was for us. We waited about 25 mins just to complete the pick up with all of the back and forth on the phone.
JAMES H.  (11/15/2021)
Truck was ready and clean, but billing was not transparent. I was charged extra fees without explanation and for extra insurance that I did not wish to pay for the additional coverage. I wanted a truck with no insurance instead I got 50 dollars of additional fees. Will not use this location or Uhaul again and would like at minimum additional fee and insurance coverage waived/refunded.
Margaret K.  (10/7/2021)
Man at Jessy's was very rude. We were 20 mins late due to traffic and then logging into U-Haul to start the process of collecting our truck. The business was locked and when I called them, he told me I was late and that was too bad. I had to wait 15 minutes for him to get back from wherever he was to give me my key. Even then he was withholding the key and pretending like he wouldn't give it to me.
Alexis G.  (8/25/2021)
This wasn't really a drop-off location--it was just a shop in the middle of the city. There was nowhere to park the truck, and the shop was randomly closed for 45 minutes even though it was within the operating hours. When the owner did return, he just directed us to park the truck "somewhere on the street," even though it was nearly impossible to find a space. This was a completely unhelpful experience in every way.
Alexandra L.  (8/14/2021)
Zach Z.  (7/31/2021)
Quick and hassle free
Jack R.  (7/28/2021)
Drop off location is a small shoe repair shop on a busy street front. The proprietor wasn't present, aparently preoccupied with something in a nearby lot. Would not provide me with a receipt, and held up his phone and said I'd get one electronically. The receipt I ended up getting said I turned in the vehicle a day later. Very unprofessional.
Brian E.  (7/27/2021)
Michael K.  (7/27/2021)
Tzer-Ming C.  (7/9/2021)
The gentlemen for the drop off was sweet and I understanding but forgot to mention the drop off details the were sent via text that I needed to complete, they just want the keys
SARINA RENEE G.  (7/4/2021)
Megan S.  (6/16/2021)
Teresa H.  (6/6/2021)
Need to have some place to park the truck on return other than in the street where it is difficult to find a space.
Richard H.  (6/5/2021)
Great place and people.
STUART B.  (5/28/2021)
No one was there for the appointment. Waited 40 min to get the truck.
Jake H.  (5/25/2021)
Parking situation is terrible. Parallel parking on a busy boulevard in Chicago city is unacceptable.
Owner of the shop was not there on time. Was about 20 mins late for me but apparently people had been waiting for over an hour. Could've been a one off situation but other than that, he was apologetic and professional.
Fernando C.  (5/5/2021)
The owner of the location was not there at the arrival time. I had to call him and waited an hour for him to arrive and give me keys which delayed my set move-in time to my building. I also ordered a dolly and pads, neither of which came with the truck. The truck was also reported as having 1/2 tank of gas at pick up, however, there was actually less than that in it but I had to pay for the difference anyway.
Devin W.  (5/4/2021)
Parking was only on a very busy street with limited parking spaces! Very difficult location.
Jessy didn't have his shop open until 20 minutes past my reservation time, at which point he seemed annoyed that I was in a hurry to get the truck. Not once did he apologize for his tardiness and didn't even offer to extend the reservation time to make up for him arriving 20 minutes late.
Ryan G.  (4/27/2021)
Christina C.  (4/26/2021)
Eliott E.  (3/29/2021)
This location took four days after I returned the vehicle to officially "check it in," which meant that every day for three days, I received a call from someone at Uhaul telling me my equipment was overdue. When I dropped off the vehicle and asked about a receipt, they told me that wasn't necessary, but that would have been nice to have because the way it played out, it felt like I was being accused of stealing a truck. That alone would have been stressful enough, but then when I did receive a receipt (4-5 days after dropping off the vehicle), there was an extra $89 charge on there. I called to ask what this was from, and they just said they'd take care of it and hung up. As of now, the extra charge has not been resolved.
Alyssa S.  (3/13/2021)
Kaylan S.  (1/18/2021)
On the day before our scheduled pick up, we were rerouted to a location on South Shore Drive, which would have been a 3 hour round trip drive - nowhere near the original pick up location in Evanston. We cancelled that reservation and with the help of a uhaul agent found another truck at this location which was closer than South Shore, but still nowhere near Evanston. In heavy traffic, it was a 90 minute round trip drive. With the increase in demand for one way rentals, Uhaul should reassess their current business model as we were hugely inconvenienced with this last minute change of pick up location. Not to mention the fact that we had a contract for a 15' truck and the only one available when we arrived was a 10' truck - again a huge inconvenience. Very disappointed with Uhaul this time.
Andrew W.  (11/9/2020)
Arrived at the shoe repair store and was then put on the phone with some Uhaul representative. It was all very unprofessional. When asked where the reserved dolly was, I was advised they didn't one and sent me to another location across Chicago that did not have one either. Worst experience ever with Uhaul.
Stephen B.  (10/6/2020)
Mary H.  (9/20/2020)
Due to a technical glitch, I had to wait over an hour to get to the point where I could pick up keys....and then had to wait another 30 minutes because the location was unexpectedly closed! It was 9.1, so you would anticipate that would be a high traffic day for uhaul folk. While I waited (once I connected with customer service, they helped, but it took 3 tries via the app for real help), three separate groups of people tried to get into the store for uhaul and ended up giving up. Overall I had a pretty terrible experience.
Sarah M.  (9/3/2020)
Rude. Unhelpful. Dirty.
Alan T.  (7/11/2020)
They opened late.

There is a lot to running a business. Marketing your brand, quoting work, finding clients, TAXES. Solving these issues is an incredibly hard burden to bare on your own.
Let's pool our collective knowledge together, share some of the lessons we've learned, and try to make the burden of running your own business a little less heavy.
Join us as we share our experiences as freelancers and business owners. We'll meet at the downtown Legends American Grill on December 14th, at 6:30pm.
If you'll join us, we'd love for you to RSVP on Facebook.


If you spend $75 or more at Walmart.com on your American Express card, American Express will give you a $15 statement credit. This works on $100 Visa gift cards which cost $105.38 with free shipping. After the $15 discount the final price will be $90.38!
You will still get your regular cashback from your American Express card in addition to the credit.
These are Vanilla Visa gift cards so you will be able to load them onto your Bluebird to pay your credit card bills. The pin doesn't need to be set ahead of time. The 4 digits that you choose the first time you use it is the pin.
You can have Twitter accounts under multiple names (pseudonames are allowed in Twitter) and you can connect a different card to each account.
You can keep records of which card is linked to which account to make it easier. I send myself an email.
You can try to go to Top Cashback first to see if you will get any extra money but their terms and conditions specifically exclude getting cashback from Walmart for buying gift cards. I did it myself yesterday and I have not received any emails from Top Cashback saying that I will get any money.


The economy of Russia relies heavily on global commodity prices, because oil and gas exports account for approximately two-thirds of the country's overall export revenue and one-third of GDP. Therefore we should consider Russian Ruble in line with the oil prices. Anyway I have bullish view on global oil prices, so I bet on further appreciation of RUB against USD. Also I would like to mention, that, in my view, the Russian economy has built up a tolerance to the Western sanctions and new sanctions will not be so painful for the RUB as primary.
I assume that Russian ruble will show long-term downward tendency due to expected growth of US rates and, on the other side, Russian Central Bank policy for gradual declining of base rate. Unfavorable political situation and US sanction will also lead to rubble depreciation. In the same time, I think that Central Bank and Government will try to benefit from weak rubble as it will support economy growth.
I don't believe in strong RUB, taking into account the constant possibility of new sanctions against Russia and heavy reliance on oil, which best times at the prices of $80-100/bbl are already in the past. There were no intrigues at the presidential elections and Putin secured a fourth term, so I don't expect any structural and productivity-enhancing reforms. Also it's possible that in the mid-term the Central Bank of Russia will drive down the RUB to cover budget deficit.


Talking Suitcases™ is an innovative and creative project for the schools. Participants create Talking Suitcases on topics like Immigration or Family History, or about their everyday lives and culture. They can gather their own ancestor or family stories or create personal tales to tell in their Talking Suitcases. Either way, they create multiple handmade objects out of simple materials that embody the stories they wish to tell. If time permits, they also decorate the suitcase itself, often making it into a partial diorama of their story. The final projects can be shared in classrooms or in a larger community events. They can be primarily visual displays with story labels, or they can be displayed in performance as well.
Talking Suitcases™ is a great project for classes of mixed ELL and non-ELL speakers, since students can work at their own level, and most of the work is visual arts-based. It offers a rich vocabulary of visual elements for students with limited English skills, and offers their fluent English-speaking peers a rare chance to see more deeply into the ELL students' world.
Recent Projects: Hancock Elementary School, St. Paul MN (with ArtStart), Hastings Elementary School, Hastings, MN, Southwest High School, Minneapolis, MN, and El Colegio, Minneapolis MN, in partnership with Intermedia Arts; Hudson Middle School, at the Phipps Center for the Arts, Hudson, WI; J.J.

Meal kit growth remains strong in 2018, but it's expected to slow in the coming years, according to a new study.
In the third edition of its "Meat Kits: Trend and Opportunities in the U.S." report, Rockville, Maryland-based Packaged Facts reports that meal kit sales are expected to grow by 22 percent by the end of 2018, to $3.1 billion.
But growth is expected to steadily decline from double-digit gains over the next few years, eventually reaching single-digit gains by 2023.
Packaged Facts expects the market for subscription meal kit delivery services to mature rapidly as other methods of meal kit sales become available and even preferred, such as one-time online orders from a meal kit website or app, online orders from a grocery store website or app and instore sales.
As a result, future growth in the market will require industry leaders to continue pivoting and adjusting their business models to retain current customers and reach new clientele, according to the firm. Long-term, Packaged Facts believes that as more traditional stores offer meal kits as a product rather than as a service, the market will stabilize and become similar to other convenience grocery items that sell for a premium, such as pre-cut fresh produce that is ready-to-eat.

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory 100th Anniversary
Home → OSHA News → Triangle Shirtwaist Factory 100th Anniversary
Last Friday, March 25th, marked the 100th anniversary of the devastating fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory though it's not an anniversary anyone should really be "celebrating". Yes, it was the catalyst that helped start the creation of worker safety but it was also a tragedy that should never have happened in the first place. On that March day in 1911, 146 garment workers, mostly Jewish and Italian immigrant women, lost their lives in what is to this day, the deadliest industrial disaster in the history of New York City.
The following account of the fire can be found on Wikipedia:
"The Triangle Waist Company factory occupied the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors of the 10-story Asch Building on the northwest corner of Greene Street and Washington Place, just east of Washington Square Park, in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. Under the ownership of Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, the factory produced women's blouses, known as "shirtwaists." The factory normally employed about 500 workers, mostly young immigrant women, who worked nine hours a day on weekdays plus seven hours on Saturdays.
As the workday was ending on the afternoon of Saturday, March 25, 1911, a fire flared up at approximately 4:40 PM in a scrap bin under one of the cutter's tables at the northeast corner of the eighth floor. The first fire alarm was sent at 4:45 PM by a passerby on Washington Place who saw smoke coming from the eighth floor. Both owners of the factory were in attendance and had invited their children to the factory on that afternoon. The Fire Marshal concluded that the likely cause of the fire was the disposal of an unextinguished match or cigarette butt in the scrap bin, which held two months' worth of accumulated cuttings by the time of the fire. Although smoking was banned in the factory, cutters were known to sneak cigarettes, exhaling the smoke through their lapels to avoid detection.
A bookkeeper on the eighth floor was able to warn employees on the tenth floor via telephone, but there was no audible alarm and no way to contact staff on the ninth floor. According to survivor Yetta Lubitz, the first warning of the fire on the ninth floor arrived at the same time as the fire itself. Although the floor had a number of exits – two freight elevators, a fire escape, and stairways down to Greene Street and Washington Place – flames prevented workers from descending the Greene Street stairway, and the door to the Washington Place stairway was locked to prevent theft. The foreman who held the stairway door key had already escaped by another route. Dozens of employees escaped the fire by going up the Greene Street stairway to the roof. Other survivors were able to jam themselves into the elevators while they continued to operate.
Within three minutes, the Greene Street stairway became unusable in both directions. Terrified employees crowded onto the single exterior fire escape, a flimsy and poorly-anchored iron structure which may have been broken before the fire. It soon twisted and collapsed from the heat and overload, spilling victims nearly 100 feet to their deaths on the concrete pavement below. Elevator operators Joseph Zito and Gaspar Mortillalo saved many lives by traveling three times up to the ninth floor for passengers, but Mortillalo was eventually forced to give up when the rails of his elevator buckled under the heat. Some victims pried the elevator doors open and jumped down the empty shaft. The weight of these bodies made it impossible for Zito to make another attempt.
The remainder waited until smoke and fire overcame them. The fire department arrived quickly but was unable to stop the flames, as there were no ladders available that could reach beyond the sixth floor. The fallen bodies and falling victims also made it difficult for the fire department to approach the building.
The company's owners, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, who survived the fire by fleeing to the building's roof when the fire began, were indicted on charges of first and second degree manslaughter in mid-April; the pair's trial began on December 4, 1911. Max Steuer, counsel for the defendants, managed to destroy the credibility of one of the survivors, Kate Alterman, by asking her to repeat her testimony a number of times — which she did without altering key phrases. Steuer argued to the jury that Alterman and possibly other witnesses had memorized their statements, and might even have been told what to say by the prosecutors. The defense also stressed that the prosecution had failed to prove that the owners knew the exit doors were locked at the time in question. The jury acquitted the two men, but they lost a subsequent civil suit in 1913 in which plaintiffs won compensation in the amount of $75 per deceased victim. The insurance company paid Blanck and Harris about $60,000 more than the reported losses, or about $400 per casualty. In 1913, Blanck was once again arrested for locking the door in his factory during working hours. He was fined $20."
Because of the devastation this fire and needless deaths created, the American Society of Safety Engineers was formed in New York City on October 14, 1911. To this day, we still live in a world that has employers exposing their workers to serious safety issues that could result in death. Safety is common sense but evidently common sense is not all that "common". Photo: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

When discount and flat fee compensation arrangements started growing in popularity [4] in the early 2000s some MLSes changed their membership rules or rule enforcement to make discount/flat fee MLS listings difficult or impossible.[5] In response, the Federal Trade Commission investigated, found several violations of anti-trust laws, and entered into settlements with five MLSes to enable free competition for listings.[6] One MLS, Realcomp in Michigan, refused to enter a settlement/consent agreement with the FTC, asserting it had the right to hide listings of discounters because such competition is detrimental to the revenue of its members.[7] In 2006, the FTC filed a lawsuit against the Realcomp MLS alleging violations of federal anti-trust laws and squelching free competition. [8] The lawsuit went to trial in 2007 and the FTC lost[9], but won the case in a 4-0 unanimous ruling on appeal in 2009. [10]
The County elects a sheriff, directly responsible to the courts but also to the state for the enforcement of state laws. Police chiefs, appointed by their cities or towns, perform the same function locally. There is no overlap in jurisdictions. Some volunteers work alongside paid professionals.[116]

Higher education is provided by Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) and Florida Institute of Technology. There are satellite campuses for the University of Central Florida, Barry University, Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University, Keiser University, and Webster University.
Underlying limestone in the county is a geologically young 150,000 years old. This means that the ground will not develop sinkholes prevalent in the spine of Florida where limestone is from 15 to 25 million years old.[17]
The prevalent database is operated by the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), a non-Realtor entity that seceded from the National Association of Realtors in 1994. [36] REBNY operates a database called RLS which stands for REBNY Listing Service. A predecessor of RLS was marketed as R.O.L.E.X (REBNY Online Listing Exchange), before Rolex Watches claimed trademark infringement.
The Brevard County Library System has 17 branches.[238] Although the Merritt Island Public Library is counted as part of the Brevard County Public Library System, it is actually a special library district. In 2005, HB1079 was passed to codify all the special acts that the Merritt Island Public Library District exists under.[239]

In 2017, the Florida Highway Patrol had about 32 troopers working different shifts on the I-95 interstate, and the unincorporated parts of the county. Normally there were five or six officers per shift.[128]
Three cities provide potable water and sewage for their cities and surrounding areas: Cocoa, Melbourne, and Titusville. Where available, residents were obligated to hook into the system. In 2012, there were 90,000 septic tanks.[132]
Although Brevardians may refer to past storms as "hurricanes", by the time they strike there, some of them may have subsided to tropical storms or depressions. Because of the threat of storm surge, the beach community on the barrier island is often required to evacuate well in advance of the storm.[25] The possibility of storm surge is diminished when the storm comes across the state instead of from the Atlantic.[26]

Real-World Evidence and Access Europe 2018

See the future. Secure market access.
It's Not You, It's Me
Despite its ups and downs, the relationship between pharma and payers is stronger than ever
By Danielle Barron on Jan 8, 2018
Anyone in a long-term relationship will tell you it evolves over time. The honeymoon period gives way to a comfortable companionship, or perhaps the fabled seven-year itch. After years of acrimony, pharma and payers are getting on better than ever. Aided by the wider move towards patient-centricity across the entire industry, and galvanised by the new reality of health and technology assessments (HTA), pharma and payers are working together more closely than ever before, with the common goal of ensuring as many patients as possible have access to the drugs they need.
These last several years there has been a discernible change in the relationship between pharma, payers, patients and healthcare providers. All stakeholders are working in partnership, for better or for worse in closer collaboration and engagement
Enkeleida Nikaï, Director of RWE at Lilly, draws on her experience in market access roles where "early advice" from payers and HTA bodies plays a fundamental role in establishing a product's clinical development plans. In recent years there has been a growing gap that could provide further support to pharma: for payer/HTA bodies to not only advise on randomised clinical trials but also input on real-world evidence. "We need to have early dialogue as well as late dialogue on this other type of evidence too," she asserts.
Mata Charokopou, Patient Access and Value Lead, UCB, explains that as UCB focuses on severe chronic diseases, their interaction with the patients and healthcare systems' stakeholders is crucial. "The process of access for certain disease areas and specific subpopulations is neither always clearly defined, nor is there one course or pathway that we need to follow. Hence, we reckon the need for flexibility in our holistic connectivity to eventually improve as many lives as possible. We all serve the same purpose: to improve mental and physical health and wellbeing.
"For years, there has been significant work by many to create value and put people and communities at the heart of their health. Arguably, we all define value a bit differently, depending on our perspective, but we, as UCB, value connectivity and try to align with the main stakeholders on what we mean by value to patients. That is our first priority – it is a patient value driven strategy and it's not an easy feat to always infuse such a mindset."
This flexibility and connectivity are critical – Charokopou explains that UCB will not "force" their healthcare solutions into a particular market if the patients and healthcare systems do not see a fit in their needs.
"We are always willing to listen to see if there is anything that will change our direction. It is not about deciding to position a holistic solution into the market, we first try to decide if the solution is actually needed in a certain market and by a specific population. We listen first to learn the benefits and experience the patient, the community, the health system within a country are looking for."
The main challenge from Charokopou's perspective is the heterogeneity of healthcare systems and payer archetypes across the globe: "The unmet needs are highly variable, so there is not just one unmet need to address with our solutions - one patient, one community or country may need something more than the other."
Amanda Cunnington, Head of Patient Access, Bayer UK, works closely with NICE and NHS England as part of her role. She believes that while relationships have continually improved over the years, access remains hampered by an overarching focus on cost savings. "I think the ability to talk to each other and understand each other's decisions has improved greatly in the UK, however, the actual processes themselves have become more convoluted, partly due to the austerity measures in place and partly due to the continual overlaying of different solutions."
She explains to eyeforpharma that there are two important aspects to these relationships – getting access to the medicines in the first place, but, equally importantly, ensuring uptake of those medicines.
This means making sure the way the system works doesn't adversely affect uptake. Cunnington gives the example of Bayer introducing one of the relatively new oral anticoagulants to the market some years ago; these had clear benefits over the standard of care , yet the healthcare system was designed to administer the older vitamin K antagonist, warfarin. "It's all very well that the drugs are approved, but does this system adapt to take advantage of them? Indeed, is there capacity within the NHS to give the drugs the way we know they have to be given to get the results that we want? We find that some parts of the country really struggle so my team will work collaboratively with those areas to understand how patients move through the system so that they can use their available capacity more efficiently."
According to Cunnington, collaboration for the benefit of patients' needs to happen at all levels to ensure both access and uptake. "The UK has problems with getting access and also with uptake, but the good thing about the healthcare system, especially NICE and the local healthcare system, is that they increasingly appreciate that industry are experts in their own medicines and in their data. Consequently they have been working more collaboratively with us, especially at a local level to solve some of the difficult, knotty problems. It is fantastic to see Bayer alongside our NHS colleagues being publicly recognised for this work that improves patient outcomes."
She agrees with Charokopou that while relationships have improved, pharma and payers will not necessarily see eye to eye. "Industry and NICE have always had the ability to have really good conversations and talk to each other about the process of how do medicines get approved – we may not always agree but I always think there is a good exchange of views and it's not antagonistic."
Cunnington is also quick to praise the ability of NICE to look at the value of medicines, and not simply the budget impact. "We might have debates about whether they look at the value in the right way, and this is not different to other countries across Europe. Budget impact and affordability questions increasingly dominate the public debate everywhere and we run a risk to lose the value focus and become more and more cost oriented.There are good things about the way NICE operates, but I would like to see them be more assertive in the public debate on why it's important that the value of medicines is looked at - for them to say 'yes, innovative medicines bring value to the healthcare system' and recognise that it's right to invest in innovation and not just balancing the books."
The disconnect between regulators and payers when it comes to their advice was highlighted by Cunnington as a significant challenge going forward
"The EMA are very good at licensing medicines quickly, particularly in areas where there is unmet clinical need. What's frustrating is that it might take a couple of years in the UK, or even longer in some other countries to get it through their reimbursement systems," says Cunnington.
Aligned and streamlined input from key stakeholders would allow pharma to carry out better evidence planning; for example, there is sometimes a disconnect between regulators and payers, says Nikai. "A drug could get approved from the regulatory standpoint, of which the primary focus is safety, but then the payers will look at the value triangle of efficacy, safety, and price, and may request more long-term safety data when the regulators have not demanded this at all. This can be surprising." Having that alignment at the time of launch would enable industry to develop a standard approach, she says.
Cunnington believes that at a country level companies are best placed to understand the requirements of their reimbursement and healthcare systems and should therefore control when to seek reimbursement. "At the end of the day we need to be doing the best we can for patients now and in the future, and we need to have strong data to get us through both the regulatory and reimbursement environment. Given few reimbursement systems enable price increases when evidence improves, companies need to judge when this is the case so that patients not only benefit from new innovations but further innovations can also be researched and developed," she says.

Q: linux unable to connect to XDebug on port 9000 I'm currently trying to get Netbeans as an IDE to work with PHP Files. Part of the work is to get Xdebug to run properly. I have gotten Xdebug to work on a Windows machine but this is my first try on Linux.
I have gotten the correct module I followed the instructions on http://xdebug.org/wizard.php
I have a Correct phpinfo() output also, with the Xdebugsection pressent and everything. I can't post the output of my phpinfo() but everything seems ok there. The configuration in my php.ini file is as follows:
 [XDebug]
 zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so"
 xdebug.remote_enable=on
 xdebug.remote_log="/var/log/xdebug.log"
 xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
 xdebug.remote_mode=req
 xdebug.remote_host=localhost
 xdebug.remote_port=9101

 [ZendModules]
 Xdebug

I only want to be able to connect to the port 9101 (The port Xdebug listens on). I have gotten the following small script from a website to do so.
 <?php
 $address = '127.0.0.1';
 $port = 9101;
 print $port . " " .$address . "\n";
 $sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
 print "sock = " . $sock . "\n";
 socket_bind($sock, $address, $port) or die('Unable to bind');
 print "socket bind worked \n";
 socket_listen($sock);
 print "listening on sock\n";
 $client = socket_accept($sock);
 echo "connection established: $client";
 socket_close($client);
 socket_close($sock);
 ?>

When I run this script, I get the following output:
michael@michael-Inspiron-N5030:~$ php5 testXdebug.php
9101 127.0.0.1
sock = Resource id #4
socket bind worked
listening on sock

This means the Script will not finish running, it just stops there an nothing else happens.
does somebody have an idea what might be causing this?

This week we've rounded up the most important news and references in Millennial culture:
1. Life Changing Tech in a Box
New apps are aiming to educate the tiny minds of babies, toddlers, and young children through music and science-based interactive games, but how good is an app without a device? Kids in disrupted communities with little connection to the world are being given the modern tech necessary for a more complete education by way of the Ideas Box, a project initiated by Libraries Without Borders. The industrialized, colorful boxes are packed with 250 books, 50 e-readers, 5,000 e-books, 15 tablets, four laptops, a built-in TV and projection screen, 100 films, coding lessons, arts & crafts, an HD camera, and more. Don't miss seeing the transformative nature of the Ideas Box, which is even able to fold out as table and chair learning stations.
2. #UberOmakase
We went through the timeline of Uber's weird marketing over the last year, which included kitten rentals, skywriting, and air conditioner delivery, to find out why it's resonating with Millennials. Don't miss that just this week Uber teamed up with Chefs Feed, a dining app with recommendations straight from the mouths of the country's top chefs, to award one lucky winner and a friend a chance to ride around with Seattle restaurateur and Chef Jason Stratton. Chef Stratton and the winners will hit up his favorite food and drink spots, topping off with a late night round of karaoke.
3. Vintage Internet Makes a Comeback
The Tumblr Effect is a growing trend in music and fashion that takes visual influences from cartoon graphics and styles of decades past and mashes them into GIF displays, fashion, and more for a wildly edgy aesthetic. A major influence for this trend has been vintage World Wide Web references, so don't miss the website for new Netflix series BoJack Horseman that takes us back to '90s internet in a cleverly detailed and humorous way. The direction of the show's marketing, and its content, understands that Millennial viewers will be in on the joke. Meanwhile, The Fine Bros reveal how different the internet was two decades ago in "Teens React to '90s Internet" and the appalled reactions to dial-up modems are priceless.
4. Snapshot Marketing Success
Pinterest has taken a cautious approach in adding sponsored Pins to the network, and their eye for detail in making sure branded images align with user-generated posts is paying off. Don't miss this infographic that illustrate how open consumers are to Snapshot Marketing on Pinterest: 4 in 10 already use the site in place of reading catalogs or magazines, and 35% skip e-commerce sites altogether in favor of browsing on Pinterest, pointing to the growing realization that "Pinterest isn't social networking; it's a search engine." 38% of active users have actually bought something because they saw it on Pinterest, jumping up to 53% for daily users.
5. Make it Work, Tweens
As if MasterChef Junior wasn't cute enough, there is another place in the spotlight for young masters of their craft: Project Runway will be running a season of competition for teens and tweens. The new series Threads, hosted by popular previous season winner Christian Siriano, will possibly open up the Lifetime network to a younger crowd, and inspire young DIY enthusiasts to turn their interests into a business.

Cooperation with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
High Prevalence and Incidence of Hypertension among Africans Living with HIV
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) was created to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world's most devastating diseases, and to direct those resources to areas of greatest need. As a partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities, the Global Fund represents an innovative approach to international health financing.
The Swiss Centre for International Health (SCIH) acts as Local Fund Agent (LFA) for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) in the following countries:
Burkina Faso •
Djibouti •
Equatorial Guinea •
Sao Tome and Principe •
Senegal •
Niger •
Maldives •
Nicaragua •
Costa Rica •
Syria •
In its role as LFA, The Swiss Centre for International Health conducts initial assessments of in-country partner capacities in the field of programme and financial management, monitoring and evaluation, and procurement and supply management. Based on the LFA's initial assessment the scope of technical assistance to strengthen in-country partners' capacities is defined.
Development partners may provide or participate in such capacity building activities. LFA services further include the on-going performance monitoring of programme process. During implementation the LFA mainly acts as knowledge broker and provides independent, qualified advice to both the GFATM and in-country stakeholders by complying with guidelines and instructions drawn up by the GFATM. As the GFATM follows the performance–based funding approach, special attention of the LFA's work is dedicated not only to the performance of programmes but also to the verification of the accountable use of funds. The review and verification of disbursement requests, progress reports, fiscal-year reports, and audit reports provided by the fund recipient is part of the LFA's work as well. (2013)
