The Oregonian responds to Commissioner Chloe Eudaly complaints against local journalists in posts that she thought were private.
Portland journalists, politicians and government insiders were all atwitter over Veterans Day weekend when freelance journalist Mike Bivins posted screen shots of city Commissioner Chloe Eudaly complaining about local journalists and constituents on Facebook.
At least some of the drama — against the backdrop of a story on a significant boost in spending on communications staff in the Bureau of Development Services— played out in full public view on Twitter. Journalists, politicians and others retweeted and responded with their own accusations and assertions of the propriety of the comments or of posting speech Eudaly thought was private. Eudaly even posted on Facebook behind her privacy settings about the Twitter outrage, which was also screen-captured and posted by Bivins.
The Poynter Institute Vice President Kelly McBride is a leading authority on media ethics and said this is more than just a spat between a journalist and a politician: "It's a broader story about this particular political figure's ability to be honest. Politicians that can't tell the truth should be held accountable."
McBride further added that she has seen a national uptick in stories of local politicians being sharply critical of the media.
"Anecdotally, …it seems like many local politicians have taken up the strategy of attacking the media," she said. McBride added that it would be logical to attribute the increased incidents to President Donald Trump's frequent and candid criticisms of the media, but stressed that she has no scientific evidence to support that claim.
Eudaly is not a fan of Trump. In one of her Facebook posts Bivins posted, she called him and former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio "trash humans."
Eudaly originally posted the comments so that they are only visible to her friend network.
Bivins, who recently graduated Portland State University and is known in the area for his Twitter coverage of political protests, said he friended Eudaly on Facebook after she followed him on Twitter in February.
"We've never spoken or interacted that I'm aware of," he said. Bivins said he was initially conflicted about whether to post the screen captures, but after visiting her wall and seeing many posts regarding reporters and even some constituents, "I just let my conscience guide me." The thread with about 20 screenshots of various incendiary statements has gotten tens of thousands of views, according to Bivins' Twitter analytics, which he shared with the Tribune.
It all started on the evening of Nov. 10.
"I click into Facebook and I see this post from Eudaly where she's just eviscerating this Oregonian reporter and I was just like: 'Whoa, this is out of line. This is not acceptable,'" Bivins said.
In Bivins' picture of the post with, at that point, 65 reactions, Eudaly accused The Oregonian's City Hall reporter Jessica Floum of not genuinely wanting to contact her because she reached out "after her deadline, after 5 p.m. at the beginning of a holiday weekend."
"Yes, Dave let me know about that. (To be honest) it sounds like you have your own slant on it which doesn't make me terribly interested in talking to you about it. How about you email your questions and I'll let you know if it seems worth my while to respond? I'm extremely busy and pretty unimpressed with The Oregonian right now."
Austin defended the commissioner by saying that Floum's report contained major inaccuracies.
There are four corrections at the end of Floum's online story.
"There were some minor errors, which are obviously regrettable," Floum said. "Accuracy is of paramount importance to me and The Oregonian and that's why we issued the corrections."
Floum, a professional reporter since 2014, started at The Oregonian soon after Eudaly was elected to the post last November.
Betsy Hammond is Floum's editor and said she stands by her work "100 percent." Hammond added that accuracy is their top priority and the errors were regrettable.
"Whether those materially affected the lead and the reader takeaway from that article, I think you can see the answer is no," she said.
Eudaly posted on Twitter Nov. 11 that she was still dissatisfied with The Oregonian's correction and reiterated that she was contacted after 5 p.m.
The Tribune contacted Eudaly's Chief of Staff Marshall Runkel on Tuesday, who deferred future comment, but did not respond to further calls and emails requesting comment by 2 p.m. Thursday.
(UPDATE 11/17/17: Marshall Runkel called Friday to explain that he was in a bicycle accident Monday, in urgent care Tuesday morning and "struggling" to keep up with work obligations the rest of the week due to his injuries. He further explained that Eudaly's "after 5 p.m." comment referred to the email that Floum subsequently sent pursuant to her request.

KC Voices: Don't let COVID take our museums too
Sarah Garten,
Mid-America Arts Alliance. // Photo by Maggie Price
We've been asking members of the KC community to submit stories about life under quarantine, protests, politics, and other subjects that require discussion. If you've got a story you'd like to share, please send it to brock@thepitchkc.com for consideration. Today, Sarah Garten informs us about the struggles facing museums in pandemic and their eventual return (?) to normal (?). As we enter the holiday giving season, mayhaps keep the idea of donating to some of these locations in your heart.

KC Voices local submissions
When I left work on March 11, 2020, it was a safety precaution. I was 38 weeks pregnant and that afternoon my office-mates were discussing how a man in KCK passed away from COVID-19 without any understanding of how he became infected with the virus. My colleagues at the non-profit I work at were concerned for my health, so I cleared out the fridge, packed up my laptop, and figured I'd work from home for two weeks while this blew over. I thought worst-case scenario, I'd work from home and then go straight into my maternity leave.
Like most people, I didn't think I'd be writing this article in October and still be working from home like I was on March 12. For most Kansas Citians life started to look and feel a little different around that same time. My family members were all slowly ordered to work from home, my friends as well. Even friends as far away as Europe were sharing similar stories with me via Zoom about stay at home orders and the lack of available toilet paper. While many of us were rightfully occupied with concerns about the economy in general, how we would survive the next few months without our friends and family, and hoping our colleagues kept their jobs, I'm guessing most of us didn't spend much time thinking about how a global crisis like COVID-19 might impact our cultural sector.
I've worked in museums since graduating from KU in 2010. Starting out as an intern at the Smithsonian, I found my way to the Nelson-Atkins, then to graduate school in Seattle and back home again where I now work for Mid-America Arts Alliance. You might know M-AAA from our gallery on First Friday, and our private parking lot that is oh-so-tempting to try and snag a spot in during a busy weekend night in the crossroads. What you probably don't know about the work my organization does is how we serve museums across America. It's one of our goals to help small to midsize museums by making culturally rich art exhibitions available at federally subsidized rates. It's because of this work that I was paying close attention not only to our constituents who I've grown close to but also my colleagues from coast to coast as they posted on Twitter or sent me text messages to vent about what was happening in their community.
Like your office and mine, museums, libraries, zoos, and other cultural organizations had to close their doors in March of 2020. I'm sure most of you have wonderful memories of strolling your favorite museum, and likely think of it as an icon of your community – something that could surely survive COVID-19. After all, most of them are local landmarks, like the castle on a hill. Unlike a castle on a hill, however, a museum typically runs on a delicate balance of generous donors, grants, memberships, event rentals, and ticket sales. Revenue from all of these angles were hit during COVID-19. It's crucial to remember that the same thing most people love about their museum is exactly that, it feels like it's YOURS. This is because museums take pride in weaving themselves into the community, and they should, as they are charged with the important task of preserving our history for future generations. You should care about them, and you should take pride in seeing your community's history on display.
Many of you will read this and think that surely your favorite museum was not impacted in such a way that they considered drastic measures to stay afloat, but I guarantee you nearly every museum was deeply hurt. Colleagues from across the industry started culling together a spreadsheet that tracked layoffs, salary reductions, and other measures taken to stay open. Large museums in New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Kansas City, all reported hits that impacted at minimum pay reductions to keep staff on board.
The hardest pill to swallow has been the closure of so many small museums across our country. As a kid who was obsessed with art, some of my most formative memories come from visits to the National Gallery in Washington D.C., and the Nelson-Atkins here in Kansas City. I'm certain both make it through this challenging time in our history, but I've heard from many smaller museums located in rural communities across the country whose survival is more tenuous. In smaller towns across America, museums, libraries, and historical societies work tirelessly to bring exhibitions to their communities to share new ideas, preserve history, and spark conversation amongst schoolchildren and retirees alike. To lose this would mean for some, a loss of cultural education.
The American Alliance of Museums (AAM) executed a survey to examine how museums are faring during this time and in July of this year released the findings stating:
"The survey results document extreme financial distress in the museum field. One-third (33%) of respondents were not confident they would be able to survive 16 months without additional financial relief, and 16 percent felt their organization was at significant risk of permanent closure. The vast majority (87%) of museums have only 12 months or less of financial operating reserves remaining, with 56% having less than six months left to cover operations. Forty-four percent had furloughed or laid off some portion of their staff, and 41 percent anticipated reopening with reduced staff."
An example of this is the Clinton House Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Prior to COVID-19, the Clinton House offered a variety of traveling exhibitions, permanent exhibitions, and events to their local community. Their Board released this statement saying: "On September 21, 2020, the Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission voted unanimously to approve a motion to decrease funding for the Clinton House Museum for 2020. We understand the vote was made in response to the substantial decrease in tourism revenues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic." Because of this closure, not only will the community miss out on educational lectures and other cultural programming, but people will lose their jobs and a house on the National Register of Historic Places will no longer be available to the public.
As this version of Groundhog Day persists in our everyday lives, I urge you to think back on your childhood, or even your life before COVID-19, and think about the museums that made an impact on you. Specifically, if there is a smaller museum that you love to visit, or visited in your hometown growing up. If you have the means to do it, consider becoming a member or gifting a membership to that museum this holiday season. If you want to make a difference but can't financially help, consider becoming a volunteer, or contacting your representatives in Congress to ask for more relief money for museums and cultural organizations. If you want to continue to help, make your membership automatically renew so your museum can count on you to continue helping even after this pandemic is something our grandkids will experience in their local museum in the future.

Soundcity MVP Awards 2018: Burna Boy is the biggest winner, plus positives and downsides on the night
by Unknown on January 06, 2019 in gossip
Saturday, January 5, 2019, the Soundcity MVP Awards went down glamorously at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.
The hosts of this year's edition were SoundCity Veejays Adams, Moet Abebe and Pearl who complemented each other in exchanges and light-hearted dialogue.
The event which is in its third edition is consistently building its way as one of the music industry's most prestigious award ceremonies and this was highlighted yet again on the night.
From solid performances to well deserved honors and quality production, it was an event that turned out to be resounding success.

Here are the major highlights of this year's Awards
Positives of SoundCity MVP Awards 2018
From the stellar lightning and stage sets, seamless blaze of opening performances, and well timed visual presentations.
This year's edition moved a gear higher in terms of production and commitment to making every performance a worthy moment with the dancers provided for every artist's set.
It also covered a range of new and old hit makers from younger talents like Victor AD, while showcasing the more established names like South Africa's AKA and International star, Jidenna.
Then there were the performances, quite a truckload of them actually, a number of which left not just memorable moments but turned the entire hall into one big house party with the crowd singing and dancing as some of their favorites took to the stage.
Mostly supported by DJ Neptune who was the main disc jockey on the night with the exception of Patoranking, who deployed a live band for his performance, the performances were a mix of the really good ones and some that were average and fall short of the standard of an award like this.
A blaze of non-stop opening performances from Idowest, Slimcase, Ms Kizz, Chinko Ekun, Naira Marley, Kida Kudz, Skibbi, Mystro and Victor AD got the festival officially on its way.
There were interludes in-between that allowed for the first set of awards to be presented.
More top artists from across the continent were to later grace the stage at several points during the awards. From Teni whose hit singles was chorused round the entire venue, to Busiswawho raised the roof, Niniola was also able to up the energy levels with Ill Bliss, Phyno, AKAand Jidenna who closed the curtains on the festival also providing worthy sets on the night.
But the most entertaining performance on the night would have to go to Patoranking, who proved to be in a class of his own. From standing out with the use of a live band to well choreographed performances and stage command, his electrifying set was the liveliest on the night.
The Biggest winners
2018 is undoubtedly Burna Boy's best year yet and the night truly belonged to him as he went home with four awards at the festival.
The singer won the awards for 'Song of the year', Best Male MVP of the year, 'Listeners Choice' and the prestigious award for the 'African artist of the year.'
South Africa's Busiswa won the 'Best Female MVP' award while Davido bagged the award for the 'Best Pop' Artist with Wizkid's Starboy family winning the award for 'Best Collaboration' with Soco.
Teni's victory as the 'Best New Artist' was another moment that defined the night as the crowd screamed her name the loudest as the nominees were announced
Best speech
Outside Burna Boy's mum who provided comical moments with her speeches, the night's best acceptance speech has to go to Patoranking who got the plaque for 'Best Video of the year' for his song, 'Heal The World.'
While receiving his award, Patoranking reminded Nigerians of the state of the nation ahead of the 2019 elections, ''Yeah, na the first time I dey win this thing be this... I wan tell una one thing, na 2019 we dey, anybody wey suffer suppose get sense,'' he said.
On the downside
On the night, a number of artists were not present to pick up their plaque, which dampened the spectacle and the mood of the audience in the hall. This was the biggest downside as even Burna Boy who was crowned with multiple honors was absent and had to be represented by his mother.
The awards also started well after its advertised time with the festival officially kicking off a few minutes past 11pm.
For the special honors where individuals were recognized for their outstanding feats in different fields from Sports, Business, Politics and more, there were no citations or profiles read to enlighten the audience of the actual works that got the winners noticed.
All in all, the SoundCity MVP Awards festival provided a night of fun, deserved winners and worthy highlights.

Still that image. The water.
I feel you've painted such a picture here, I can see a desert bowl with the last of the water being sucked down through the earth. Really enjoyed this piece; oh; and the possibility of a predator on the break of trees.
An intensely evocative poem. That ending leaves me breathless. I feel the predator on my trail…smiles.
It's as if the water fears the predator, too.
Vividly written. As we have cougars prowling these parts these days, I envisioned bear, or cougar out among the trees in your poem. Likely a bear, since it was pawing the side of a tree….or maybe a Sasquatch!
I love this 😀 the images here are so powerful and so vivid!
This creates a marvelously ominous mood. I really like the way you broke the lines.

Two chip industry deals finalized Tuesday are further evidence that the old guard in the microprocessor industry is on the run.
Imagination, the graphics processor IP company, has said it will acquire MIPS, the creator of an alternative architecture for the chips inside computers and embedded devices, in a deal worth $60 million. MIPS ALSO sold 580 patents to a consortium led by ARM, the company whose ARM (s armh) architecture is inside many of today's top mobile phones, for $350 million.
Together the two deals mean the end of MIPS as a standalone company, but they keep the MIPS architecture alive as a potential rival to both ARM and the low-power x86 chips that Intel (s intc) has on offer for the mobile and embedded markets. Imagination, whose graphics processor cores are found in Apple's iPhone (s aapl) products, plans to use the MIPS buy to move upmarket into the application processor and controller market, where it could provide the brains inside mobile devices and compete against ARM-based chips from firms like Qualcomm and Texas Instruments.
So while an overall decline is sales is occurring, and the PC market is clearly hurting as numbers from Gartner and iSuppli yesterday show, the big picture is that we're going from two separate architectures locked into a defined space to more architectures and many vendors in a free-for-all.
These deals keep the MIPS architecture in the picture, which is important for the vendors such as Cavium, MediaTek or Broadcom that are building out gear for networking or in the digital home and use MIPS cores.
It may even take the architecture into higher-level computers that use the Android operating system. MIPS-based processors are already used in some low-end Android phones and the architecture runs Android for use in embedded applications.
Next weeks breaking news. Apple buys Imagination.
580 is the total number of patents, Imagination got 82 of them,the consortium got 498.


The "Windows" sub-platform of the Island target lets you build CPU-native libraries and executables for Windows using the low-level Win32/Win64 API and compiles as CPU-native x64 or i386 code.
Windows API (aka "Win32") in the rtl namespace. This includes everything from CreateWindowEx to SHEmptyRecycleBin to let you create "native" Windows apps. By default, Island uses the WideString API versions.
Development of Island apps for Windows is supported in both Visual Studio and in Fire on the Mac. Depending on API usage, they can be deployed to any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows version, back from Windows NT and 95 through the latest Windows 10.
Native debugging is supported in Visual Studio and Fire. To remote-debug Windows apps from Fire, you will need CrossBox 2 and an SSH server running on a Windows VM or PC, which is currently a bit tricky, since Windows does not come with SSH support. The Elements "Hokule'a Class" update will bring an easy-to-deploy SSH server to be used with CrossBox 2 for this purpose.

Since not everyone wants to see their relatives end up that way, Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead. But now, her magic's gone sideways, and the only person strong enough to help her is the one man who could tempt her to think about picket fences: Eli Stonecroft, a faery who chose to be a bar-owner in New Orleans rather than live in Elphame. Then human businessmen start turning up as draugar. Suddenly, the queen of the again-walkers and the wealthy son of one of the victims, both hire Geneviève to figure it out.

(Re)Imagining the world: Children's Literature's Response to Changing Times considers how writers of fiction for children imagine 'the world', not one universal world, but different worlds: imaginary, strange, familiar, even monstrous worlds. The chapters in this collection discuss how fiction for children engages with some of the changes brought about by new technologies, information literacy, consumerism, migration, politics, different family structures, cosmopolitanism, new and old monsters. They also invite us to think about how memory shapes our understanding of the past, and how fiction engages our emotions, our capacity to empathise, and our desire to discover, and what the future may hold. The contributors bring different perspectives from education, postcolonial studies, literary criticism, cultural studies, childhood studies, postmodernism, and the social sciences. With a wide coverage of texts from different countries, and scholarly and lively discussions, this collection is itself a testament to the power of the human imagination and the significance of children's literature in the education of young people. .

Hi, my name is Alan Garfield. I'm not from Dubuque but I moved here simply for a job. I am a teacher and I was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a lovely school, and city. I took a look at Dubuque. Specifically the University of Dubuque, but the colleges and the city itself and I liked the potential of moving to a town where I could make a difference teaching students and interacting individually with small numbers of people. So we moved here 18 years ago and we like Dubuque.
I would describe myself as a pleasant, old guy who will probably invade someone's personal space when talking to them and asking questions about them. I love culture. I love to read, travel and visit museums. I love to sit outside with my wife drinking coffee at 5 a.m. listening to the birds.


Looks like someone got their audition.
Actress Gina Rodriguez is going to appear on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," reports Entertainment Weekly.
The show is being tight-lipped on details about Rodriguez's character, but there's a strong possibility the "Jane the Virgin" actress will play the girlfriend of Detective Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz).
Earlier this season the character Rosa came out as bisexual, and in January Beatriz said during an interview that she would love to see the "Annihilation" star play her lady love. "[I] love Gina Rodriguez, and think she would be fantastic," she said.
EW also has a screen grab from a now-deleted Instagram post by Terry Crews that features a photo of him, Beatriz and Rodriguez.
"Amazing time today hanging with my sistas from different mistas," he wrote.

Got Litterbugs Littering? Boro Pres. Oddo's Clean Team Will Help. But So Should You!
November 2, 2019 Archie Frank 7 Articles, Environment
Litter. It's everywhere. And, why? In the end, it's our own mess that we created. Maybe not you. Maybe not me. But for the most part, we can all agree that it's Staten Islanders, mostly, contributing to Staten Island's litter problem. After all, we can't blame new Jerseyans or Brooklynites for what we do in our own "backyard." In fact, if we considered the entirety of Staten Island to be our own yard, chances are, littering would cease to be an issue, entirely.
So, what's required? Thinking differently. No one literally throws litter in their own yard. (We should hope!) Our streets, sidewalks, and other shared public areas should not be considered differently. Maybe you think just one cigarette butt isn't going to make such a mess. But if you throw butts on the ground every day you stand at the same bus stop, sooner or later it's going to be a pile of cigarette butts. And, multiply that by every person who doesn't think twice about littering.
How about a water bottle? It's just one. Candy wrappers? Not a big deal. Fast food packaging? I couldn't find a pail. See how one spot, over the course of just a week, can end up looking like a dumping ground? Random garbage, here and there, can quickly turn even a quaint spot into a place that looks like no one cares.
Litter In The Park. Image Credit: Staten Islander News Org
Thankfully, the Fresh Kills landfill, the city dump on our West Shore, is now closed. We've all worked so hard to change the image of Richmond County from the place where the world's largest dump sits, to a land of fine dining, great culture, and interesting people. Do your part and stop littering! If you see someone else litter, don't let it stand. You need not be confrontational and say anything at all; you can simply pick up their garbage, right in front of them, and show how it's done. Action speak louder…
If you know of a place where litter is an issue, the Sanitation Department can help. Promptly report areas where there's illegal dumping or a rapidly-growing pile of litter to 311. Alternatively, you can use the free BP Assist app to request a "litter patrol" be dispatched immediately. Or, click here to make a report right now.
Councilman Matteo and Borough President Oddo have done their part to make these litter patrols a reality. What we all need are vigilant eyes, and attentive minds, Staten Islanders who do not tune it all out, residents who instead respond to the challenge by seeking help.
The Borough Hall Clean Team, expanded more than 50% by Boro President Oddo, collaborates with the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment (CASES), working tirelessly to pick up trash, trim unruly weeds, and keep Our Island's public spaces clean, from April to November. But what about from November to April? Without doing your part, it's inevitable that we're going to be living om an island that looks more like a total mess than someplace we can be happy to bring people from beyond Staten Island over the water to visit and check out. Here's a map of sites cleaned up since 2014:
Project One, an island company, also works with the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce to remove trash. Many private businesses do their part by keeping the area around their premises clean. Operation Clean Sweep provided brooms and pans donated to the Borough President's office to local businesses.
Did it work? Considering that the supplies were disbursed rapidly, no one can argue that it was a good idea. (https://www.statenislandusa.com/gameofthrowns.html) Council Members Matteo (Mid-Island) and Borelli (South Shore) have their own clean up crew associated with the non-profit Where to Turn. Additionally, various other nonprofits, including the Assertive Kids Foundation, help periodically with cleanups of our island's woodlands, parks, sidewalks, and streets.
Empire State Bank "adopted" the New Dorp Train Station area. Maybe your business can find its own area to adopt. If you're a student, or just a concerned Islander, you can informally adopt a site and just make its cleanliness your responsibility without notifying anyone. Cleaning up is an activity that's free for everyone to engage in, and there's a great sense of accomplishment that goes along with seeing a place devoid of trash that was formerly a giant mess, a place that you cleaned up with the aid of nothing more than your own hands, gloves, and a few trash bags.
If you're mad because fifteen year olds can't drive or vote, do your part by cleaning up! Quite likely, you care deeply about the environment, but don't neglect your own neighborhood and focus only on big issues beyond your reach! Don't feel powerless; do your part and join in. It's actually a lot of fun. The same goes if you're retired and looking for something to do that helps others. What could be more helpful than a clean-up effort you organize with neighbors, or even on your own?
Regardless of your age, just keep in mind that you want to avoid getting struck by a moving vehicle! Clear trash with extreme caution; make sure you have reflective clothing on if cleaning around dusk, or later. And, if you need to place a cone temporarily in the street where you're cleaning, no one is going to be mad.
Litter is a quality of life issue. There's no way that a sidewalk or curb strewn with trash helps any of us feel very good about where we live, work, and play. There's just something inherently demoralizing about walking past piles of garbage. It makes sense; think back to how your parents would implore you to clean your room. Some of our readers need only think back twenty minutes! Why do parents say such things?
Is it because parents seek to annoy and keep us constantly occupied with activities that we don't enjoy? No; not at all. It's because being older and wiser, our guardians seek to help us have the best lives possible. And, living your life among disorder and chaos cannot being peace of mind or feel very good. Again, think of your own home. Chances are, if you're an adult, you don't keep your place like a trash heap.
So, it's for our own good that we take this seriously. If you eat some French fries, find a garbage pail, rather than tossing the packaging on the ground. Finished chewing your gum? Throw it away! It's your responsibility to carry your trash until you find a pail. If you need to duck into a local store and ask if you can discard your mess, chances are, the store owner or manager will be far happier than if you causally threw that same garbage on the ground in front of their place. If there are no stores, put your gum in a piece of paper, or place your empty bag of snack chips in your school bag. For now.
In the end, if we're homeowners, it's not only a good idea to clean up, it's actually the law. The "Clean the 18" campaign helped bring awareness to NYC Administrative Code, Section 16-118(2)(a), which clearly places the burden of cleaning up eighteen inches from the curb into the street, on the homeowner, or person in charge of a building. There are fines for littering, but why should that be what motivates us? There are so many reasons why it's good to keep your space clean, the last thing that should motivate a person is the threat of being fined. Yet, if you fail to do your part, keep in mind that the fines are a possible outcome, and working just to pay fines seems foolhardy.
Also, consider that littering is also an action that the police can fine you for in NYC. It's not just rude, it's illegal. Even if you get away with just a warning, rather than a fine, you're taking the police from more important duties, all because you're choosing to be selfish and do something that negatively affects your whole community. And you. It's not like what you do when you litter doesn't affect you. You're going to have to walk past your own trash. Sometimes daily.
Even if you feel no remorse, you've just added a little bit toward making your own environment a nasty place. And, whether or not you realize it, that affects you. Your internal environment isn't completely separate from what's around you. "No Man is an Island," was a phrase first penned by John Donne. We hardly think about the fact that someone was the first to say this, but likely, people have realized this all along. We all seek to be part of a larger community, and helping to build our communities by keeping them tidy is a worthwhile goal, for anyone, any age. It's also a great way to exercise your personal power, to make a difference in a way everyone will notice.

Community service for littering! For every littering offense, screw the fines, just let them work off the offense!
That will teach them! Having to waste an afternoon cleaning up will let them know that SOMEONE else will have to do this otherwise!

If you see someone littering, I'd say you should make a citizen's arrest. 😛

The beard that Matt Smith (Philip, Duke of Edinburgh) starts 'growing out' while aboard the Britannia is fake and glued on. He said that it was miserable to wear but that it did make him feel confident.
When Anthony Eden is discussing his medication with his doctor, a pill bottle is clearly labeled as 'Pentobarbitone' yet in the ensuing description, states that each pill contains amphetamine. In reality, Pentobarbitone (Pentobarbital) is the literal opposite of amphetamines. Pentobarbital is a barbiturate (a sedative/hypnotic) which is a powerful central nervous system depressant which slows the activity of the brain and induces sleep as well as a powerful state of relaxation. Amphetamine, on the other hand, is a powerful stimulant which eliminates fatigue and keeps the user awake and alert.
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: Just don't ever let my vanity get the better of me again.
References Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
A compelling, multifaceted examination of Phillip's cavorting.
This episode is dedicated to the adventures of Phillip and the boys' club on their commonwealth tour. However, rather than focusing solely on Phillip's perspective, the episode examines its overall impact by looking at it through the lens of every story-line, depicting both the negative and positive aspects. We see the misogyny, racism, civic injustice, and scandal involved but also the valour, fun, and brotherhood. As in real life, we are shown the good and the bad, then forced to make the moral judgment ourselves.
At the centre of this contradiction is Phillip, who is undoubtedly the main character of the episode. There are moments where we find his behaviour reprehensible, and there are moments where we are made to sympathize with him. Nowhere is the latter more prevalent than the fantastic interview scene, which uses interwoven flashbacks incredibly effectively to illuminate his character. By the end of the episode, while we may not condone his behaviour, we can understand it and perhaps forgive it.
Phillip's friend, however, proves himself beyond forgiveness with his unabashed deviance. One of the episode's central plots is his wife's investigation into his adultery, which serves both as a glimpse into the effects on the victims left in the wake of the boys' club, and a big threat to the monarchy. This is where we get into the ugly side of their activities.
On the whole, this is another smoothly executed hour of The Crown, which takes a narrower focus than most and is able to dive deeper as a result.

Q: apache mod_Jk error log im runing an apache Webserver and a tomcat server.
Im now trying to forward to the tomcat from the apache. Both Servers are online and running and mod_jk is installed.
But i keep getting Errors when i try it:
Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
Here is the mod_jk error log File, can someone help me?
http://txs.io/o3Pb
The workers.properties looks like this:
  workers.tomcat_home= /"Directory of the tomcat"
  # Define 1 real worker using ajp13
  worker.list=worker1
  # Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
  worker.worker1.type=ajp13
  worker.worker1.host=localhost
  worker.worker1.port=***** /*Port of the tomcat*/

I hope i delivered all Informations u need to know
Best regards

A: [Tue Jan 05 02:11:11 2016] [24716:140046289016640] [info] init_jk::mod_jk.c (3591): mod_jk/1.2.41 initialized

That means your mod_jk installed and in init state. The problem is with your mod_jk configuration files. you need to configure workers.properties and mod_jk.conf
Try this as workers.properties:
# vi /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
worker.list=worker1
# Define Node1
worker.worker1.port=8009
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.lbfactor=1

for mod_jk.conf:
# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_jk.conf
<IfModule !mod_jk.c>
  LoadModule jk_module "/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so"
</IfModule>

JkWorkersFile "/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "/var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel info

TYPE C, for Copenhagen – Henrik's homebase and creative cradle – is reminiscent of the salty air and fresh waters experienced on boating trips outside Trekroner fortress at the entrance to Copenhagen's harbour, the best place to catch herrings. Fresh and tonic, TYPE C begins with a clear harmony of citrus (bergamot, mandarin, lemon) mixed with an ozonic "sea breeze" accord, marked by salty and solar facets. The drydown is a comfortable woody blend, enriched with the key note of the fragrance, sea weed.

Q: What's the short form for "as I told you before" in code review? I'm working on a code review, I need leave a comment for the code. I'm trying to leave a comment the same as I left before it. I remember it might be "tilto" or something, but I forgot what exactly it is.
Anyone knows anything?
Thanks,
Jay Lin

A: I think you are looking for the word "ditto".
From Merriam Webster's:

ditto
a thing mentioned previously or above —used to avoid repeating a word —often symbolized by inverted commas or apostrophes


Write the procedure that the user needs to do for a manual payment here. Use MANUALPAYMENTBUTTON to insert the Pay Button to the desired location.
WHere do i find this ? I have ticked off but I still get this status on top of the settings get started.
If you go to the event plugin settings, you'll see a section called "Manual Payment Settings".
In there you will have to write the process that your users that pay manually will have to follow, and include MANUALPAYMENTBUTTON in your text so that the actual button gets in there.


My Friend Didn't Have to Pay Spousal Maintenance, So Why Do I?
One of the most difficult areas of Minnesota family law (for both lawyers and clients) is spousal maintenance, otherwise known as alimony. Unlike child support, there is no formula that you can plug numbers into and come away with a good answer.
Instead, awards of spousal maintenance are based on social norms and public policy–therefore, not entirely consistent, and subject to significant change over time. In the end, whether or not spousal maintenance is granted may come down simply to what one person thinks is "fair"–and what is fair to one person, is not always fair to another, especially the person ordered to pay.
That said, there are some criteria that the court must take into account when determining whether spousal maintenance should be awarded and, if so, how much.
Does the party seeking spousal maintenance have sufficient assets to support herself? The court only considers income from the assets awarded, and not an invasion of the asset itself. So, consider awarding the spouse who might receive spousal maintenance assets capable of producing income (i.e., rental properties, dividend-paying stock, etc.).
Is the spouse seeking spousal maintenance "self-supporting?" The court will consider if the spouse seeking spousal maintenance is appropriately employed.
What standard of living did the parties have during the marriage? A higher standard of living during the marriage may show that spousal maintenance is appropriate.
Do the children have specific needs which require a parent to stay home or some other reason to justify one parent continuing to be a stay-at-home parent?
If spousal maintenance is needed, how much?
Can education or training allow a party to become self-supporting at some point?
What is the financial ability of the paying party?
What is the physical and emotional condition of the party seeking spousal maintenance?
How long should a party receive spousal maintenance?
In many cases, it is possible to secure a waiver of spousal maintenance as part of an agreement to settle property issues, and sometimes even in exchange for parenting time or custody.
Spousal maintenance is also, generally, taxable income to the recipient and tax deductible for the paying spouse.
Cases involving spousal maintenance deserve and require a significant conversation with your lawyer about your particular circumstances. Skilled lawyers, accountants and financial planners can assist in creating a settlement or a court strategy that maximizes the net result to their clients.


When I started thinking about the card game for my husband's birthday, I knew I'd wanted to make a special box for it. For one, because both of us love beautiful boxes (something in our gene pools) but most importantly because we display our board games in our living room. And if it is displayed, I want it to look good among our other games. So with that in mind I started thinking and decided to decoupage a box in the theme of the game itself, Zdeněk Miler's Krtek, The Little Mole.
I tried decoupage earlier and I really liked it. I loved the idea of decorating a box, a shape with paper cut-outs. Making it unique. One thing I did not like about it though is the endless process of gluing, letting it dry, then varnishing and letting it dry, then reapplying the varnish… you get the gist. Added layers meant more time, more hassle and more sticky fingers. Until now! I discovered a hybrid, glue and varnish all in one. As you are gluing on the cut-out you just stroke an additional layer over it as varnish. Voila! One drying session and you are done. Genius! Both the paper mache box with its magnetic closure and the little mole posters (from which I did the cut-outs) were from my local crafts store. I also decided to spice up the box with a play on images that you'd usually find on real board game boxes. Like the age warning or the Spiel des Jahres award sticker, which instead of the proper Kritikerpreis (critic's award) features Krtekpreis, or The Little Mole's Prize. The hilarity this caused was heard well beyond our walls.
So here is the finished card game. Playing and reference cards, rules, a couple of mole hills and some clothespins that act as prizes in the The Little Mole's Trousers – Treasure Seeker Card Game. (Phew, that was a mouthful!) When I gave the game to my husband he thought it is something I bought in a shop. Only slowly did it sink in that I made it for him. Since then we have played it many times. I can happily report that he loves it! We love discovering the mechanics and coming up with strategies to outsmart the other. Sometimes we succeed, other times it becomes a lessons learned. But what I love about him is how he tries to help me rethink, rewrite the rules. Or is he trying to help himself? Whichever way it is, I foresee us playing with it more and more frequently. And if I may add, the game looks mighty fine among our other games on our bookshelf.

Q: Al momento de crear un objeto su valor no cambia por una variable statica Me encuentro realizando un ejercicio que dice lo siguiente:
generarRegistrationId(): este método se utiliza para generar una identificación de registro única para la certificación de cada estudiante. La identificación para los cursos regulares debe contener un número impar de 4 dígitos, comenzando con 1001. Para el curso acelerado, la identificación debe contener un número par de 4 dígitos.
Nota: La identificación de registro debe generarse tan pronto como se registra un estudiante (es decir, cuando se crea un objeto) y no es necesario que siga ninguna secuencia.
registrationId se basa de una variable estatica
*public static int counter;
static {
        counter = 1000;
    }*

lo que hize fue hacer un static block para su initializacion.
para lo de par e impar son estos metodos y asi los realize:
*public void generateRegistrationId() {

            if(RRTechnicalCertification.counter % 2 == 0) {
                this.setRegistrationId(counter + 1);
            }
            else {
                this.setRegistrationId(counter + 2);
            }
        }*

*public void generateRegistrationId() {

                if(RRTechnicalCertification.counter % 2 == 0) {
                    this.setRegistrationId(counter + 2);
                }
                else {
                    this.setRegistrationId(counter + 1);
                }
            }*

al momento de crear objetos el id es el mismo para todos

habia leido que los valores estaticos son los mismos para los objetos, me pueden ayudar en entender mejor como funcionan los valores estaticos? se que son de nivel clase, pero porque se mantiene el mismo para todos?
