El Paso clears migrant camps ahead of Biden's first trip to border on Sunday
When President Joe Biden makes his first visit to the border with Mexico on Sunday, he will hear from aid workers helping manage the immigration crisis and from local officials desperate for more support.
What he won't see are the miserable makeshift camps dotted around El Paso that triggered headlines last month about migrants taking over the streets.
On Tuesday and Wednesday law enforcement teams moved through the downtown area, picking up migrants who had entered the country illegally.
As a result, he may get a view of the border but not of the crisis, say infuriated border agents who wanted him to see the scale of the chaos last month.
In December, migrants were sleeping rough in makeshift camps around the Greyhound Bus Station in downtown El Paso. But last week the camps were cleared before Joe Biden's visit on Sunday. These images show how the area looked before and after the operation

Greg Forster, Ph.D.
Greg Forster (Ph.D., Yale University) is a Friedman Fellow with EdChoice. He has conducted numerous empirical studies on education issues, including school choice, accountability testing, graduation rates, student demographics, and special education. The author of nine books and the co-editor of six books, Dr. Forster has also written numerous articles in peer-reviewed academic journals, as well as in popular publications such as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. His latest book is Economics: A Student's Guide (Crossway, 2019).
Don't overregulate choice
It's easy to strangle the golden goose—a lot easier than it might seem. As Oklahoma looks at options for growing school choice, it's important to design those programs well. Recent proposals in Oklahoma have suggested tightening restrictions on the ability of choice programs to serve students. These are solutions in search of a problem. The ever-growing national track record of school choice clearly indicates that there is much more danger of overregulating these programs than of underregulating them.
In 2010, Oklahoma joined the majority of states that have private school choice programs. In all, 30 states and two territories (the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) have private school choice. These programs serve well over half a million students.
Since then, Oklahoma has expanded choice by enacting a second program. That makes Oklahoma one of 18 states to have multiple private school choice programs. Oklahoma's two programs currently serve about 3,300 students.
Recent proposals have suggested imposing new burdens on these programs in Oklahoma. One of the most common approaches is to demand that schools compile and turn over to the state extensive personal data on every participating student. This raises important student-privacy concerns. But lawmakers should also be asking what this or other proposed regulations has to do with helping parents hold their schools accountable. More power for regulators is less power for parents.
Each individual regulation, by itself, was not a dealbreaker. The problem was the accumulated weight of many intrusive regulations, whose combined burden was far greater than expected.
The track record of school choice programs is clearly positive. My colleagues at EdChoice recently counted up all the empirical research ever published. They found that 15 of 22 studies on academic outcomes for choice participants are positive, while 24 of 26 studies on how private choice affects academic outcomes in public schools are positive. Research on choice is also positive for fiscal effects, ethnic integration, and civic values and practices.
What about the minority of studies that are negative? This is where we see that the danger for school choice isn't in underregulating the programs. It's in overregulating them, taking away their ability to serve students well.
The only failed example of school choice in U.S. history is school vouchers in Louisiana. Test score effects in multiple studies of that program came back negative. What happened? Regulators with bright ideas outsmarted themselves.
In every state other than Louisiana, private school participation in choice programs is high. While a few private schools may choose not to participate, huge majorities of private schools typically elect to do so. Except in Louisiana, where participation rates by private schools were catastrophically low—fewer than one-third participated in the program's first year. The only schools willing to join the program were the lowest-performing schools, looking for a lifeline.
Private schools cited overregulation of the program as the reason they didn't want to participate. Survey research by the program's evaluators found that regulation was the number-one reason cited by private-school leaders.
Here's an especially important thing to notice. The problem was not any one obviously bad regulation. There was no "poison pill." Each individual regulation, by itself, was not a dealbreaker.
The problem was the accumulated weight of many intrusive regulations, whose combined burden was far greater than expected. One important aspect of that was the clear signals that the schools got from the government that more regulations would be coming in the future. Private schools told the program's evaluators that they didn't want to sign up to be subject to unpredictable future creation of regulatory liabilities.
Other examples likewise point to the danger of overregulation. A voucher program for students in underperforming schools in Florida was strangled because the state's education department created a process for signing up that was too difficult for parents. Participation in the program was kept low by barriers to entry.
Meanwhile, we have not seen instances of school-choice failure due to underregulation. Ever since the modern choice movement began with school choice in Milwaukee in 1990, we have heard horror stories of all the lurid failures we could expect from allegedly underregulated schools. Where are the failures? Where are the kids who didn't get a better education—except in Louisiana, where overregulation was the problem? Where are all the "jihad schools" that we were endlessly promised we would inevitably see? If you've heard of any, send the news reports my way. I haven't seen them.
The bottom line is that there is no real need to regulate private schools, in choice programs or otherwise, for anything other than health and safety. Parents are the real accountability system. When we give parents choice, we give them power. They do tons better than distant politicians and bureaucrats at making sure their schools serve their kids well.
Lawmakers should bear all this in mind when they hear what may at first be reasonable-sounding proposals to require choice schools to compile and turn over extensive personal data on every participating student, or other regulations that increase the school's burden without increasing the parents' power. In addition to raising student privacy concerns—an important issue in itself—these requirements would be a drag on the quality of education, and make no positive contribution to parents' ability to hold schools accountable.
Parental power is the real accountability for schools. Common sense and the track record of available evidence both support great caution in adopting any regulation on private schools beyond the needs of health and safety. Put parents in charge and let them do their jobs.

It Took a Village: Celebrating 134 New Homes in Brooklyn
Partners commemorate the opening of the Henry Apartments in Brooklyn
Photo credit: S:US
On May 8, S:US joined our partner Alembic Community Development to welcome individuals and families to our newly-constructed Henry Apartments in the Ocean Hill/Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn.
This two-building, six-story development brings safe, affordable, and supportive housing to an area of the city where some of the largest numbers of homeless people come from.
The Henry Apartments will be home to very low- and low-income families and individuals, with 78 units reserved for formerly homeless individuals. Residents have access to on-site supportive services provided by S:US, including job placement, daily life skills training, and personalized recovery programs.
A view inside one of the Henry Apartments' studio units.
Angela Thomas (pictured below) one of the Henry Apartments' first residents, told attendees how it felt to move into her new home after five years in homeless shelters. "I wanted to give up until I saw my apartment and realized I didn't have to go through that anymore…This building is awesome. I can sit outside and breathe. I thank S:US for everything…Thank you for giving me a future and a life, and hope."
Angela Thomas
As part of the celebration, a plaque was mounted in the courtyard of each building, which read:
"This residence is dedicated to the thousands of New Yorkers who find themselves homeless each year, in the hope that they too will find a safe, affordable place to call home."
In the backyard of one of the buildings, which will be developed into S:US' eighth community farm, S:US and partners commemorated the occasion by watering the first seedlings of the season.
The Henry Apartments are the namesake of Stan Henry, a long-time resident and well-known businessman in the Ocean Hill/Brownsville community. For years, Henry wanted to help revitalize the neighborhood with property he had access to, but was unable to achieve this dream until he was introduced to Alembic Community Development and S:US. A shared vision to bring supportive and affordable housing to the neighborhood was born.
But making this project work required true partnership — finding solutions that worked for all. Through a years-long process of listening and responding to the needs of the community, S:US, Alembic, Community Board 16, government and private funders proved that a meaningful solution to homelessness is possible, but it takes a village.


Well, the uniqueness and creativity of web content are essential to the success of your business and brand. Most business owners understand and appreciate this fact and are thus focusing on the creation and development of responsive websites. Many of them, however, lack the knowledge or the essential tips they should apply while selecting a hosting company. A reliable hosting company is very essential and should not be ignored. A reliable hosting company will always ensure that your site is safe and also accessible at all times. It is wrong to haphazardly select demonstrations hosting company based on one factor such as pricing alone. The end result can be quite disastrous.
It is therefore essential that you know and understand the kind of host you require. Once you have understood your business and its needs, then it is easier to narrow on options. Ensure that your host can provide all the features you require for the website including 24 hours streaming, videos, among others. Also, select the best Quality Hosting Online package. Ensure that you are not turned away by the price. High-quality online hosting will ensure that your web's performance is fast and also provides high quality and satisfying customer experience. Additionally, read various web hosting reviews to know your service provider. It is vital to check how the various service providers respond to the concerns and complaints of their clients. Also, you can identify consistency and quality from how the customers comment and provide feedback. In the end, you will identify the various web hosting companies that treat clients well and professionally as well as those that ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.
Ensure also that you get some bandwidth to allow room for growth in future. Do not allow a company to lock you into a limited amount of bandwidth. If you go for such a company, then you may have to pay some fee to have your hosting revised for future growth plans. Most importantly, ensure you are not stuck on the price. Do not be tempted by those hosting companies with the lowest prices. Go for those with reasonable and competitive prices. With a low price, you could get slow servers, constant or regular downtime as well as poor customer service among other issues. Ensure you thoroughly and correctly read through the terms of service. Also, it is good if you test customer support. You can contact them and see how friendly and responsive a web hosting company is.

Great Ormond Street Hospital's new main entrance and reception is now open. The area has been redesigned with the help of our patients and families to create a more practical and attractive environment that better serves our patient's needs.
The hospital's old main entrance was closed in 2013 to undertake important building work to strengthen the floors supporting Woodpecker Ward above. This offered the perfect opportunity to improve our front of house, and we have been working with hospital staff, patients, families and carers to create a brighter and friendlier space designed to appeal to children and young people.
Coloured glass panels above the doors of the main entrance create an inviting and exciting first impression of the hospital. Staff and visitors alike have been delighted by the reappearance of our famous Peter Pan statue, which was obscured from view during the construction work.
As well as being beautiful, the reception space offers important practical enhancements including a comfortable waiting area and new facilities for the patient advice and liaison, transport and accommodation services.
Workstations on the nautical reception desk allow staff to deal with multiple requests to reduce waiting times and congestion. Interactive wayfinding kiosks have been installed to help visitors find their way around quickly when the reception staff are occupied. And automatic doors will reduce cold breezes in the reception area to make it a more comfortable environment.
The seascape theme was selected for continuity with the Lagoon restaurant and play area. It has been brought spectacularly to life with a striking boat-shaped reception counter complete with sails, a nautical colour scheme, a revolving rock pool floor projection and a shoal of colourful fishes drawn by our patients. The fish artwork illustrates a softly curved 'wave' wall and was created by our patient art programme Go Create! to represent the quantity and diversity of our patients.
A new temporary entrance to access outpatient clinics has now opened at the front of the building to the right of the main entrance by the ATM.
Work is continuing behind the scenes on much-needed improvements for our outpatients clinic including an additional waiting area, new consulting rooms and a retail space.
The reception is part of an ongoing programme of redevelopment at Great Ormond Street Hospital, replacing some of the hospital's oldest buildings with modern, world-class facilities. The next phase of redevelopment is the creation of the Premier Inn Clinical Building, due to open in 2017, which will include much needed new inpatient wards and operating theatres.
You can read more about our hospital redevelopment in the redevelopment section of the charity website.
Volunteers and staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have, so please speak to someone if you need any more information.


So I have learned quite a few things since I started training to run Half Marathons four years ago. Improving my time has been one of the greatest results (Shaving off 30 mins) but also learning how to minimize obstacles that appear while running. Which has really allowed me to enjoy the distance. Through trial and error, friend's advice and reading. Reading really prepared me(I read This, this, and this) for a half marathon. And, I feel like I finally have a good compilation of tips to share. I hope you enjoy them!
Get fitted: This is one of the most impactful things you can do for yourself yet it's the most overlooked.There are a lot of specialty running shoe stores that will give you a foot/shoe consultation. So you can determine what kind of shoes are best suited for you and your gait(running style).
Running Buddy: Sometimes running by yourself gets lonely or boring. So having a running buddy is a must, not only for keeping you accountable but for having good conversation.Yes, Friends can be the best distractions!
Clothing: No cotton! Tech clothes that wont chafe. I know running clothes can be expensive, but having a set of tech clothes is totally worth it!
Personalize: Practice your drinking and eating routine-which gels you'll use and when. You never want to get GI distress. But its better it happens during a trial run and you figured out what didnt work with your body .
Practice running similar terrain/course as your planned race course.
Carry it: You should definitely take a bit of Toilet paper with you just in case you have to make a pit stop.
Rub Bodyglide all over your body so you wont chafe.
Hydrate before long runs and during~bring some water with you if you're running more than 6 miles. You should see if running with a fuel belt or a cammelbak is your thing. I know a lot of people cant stand running with gear on, but I totally need my water!
Energy: There are a lot of different Gels on the market that work great. My favorite are GU and Powerbar gels. I've also tried chewable gels and jelly beans but it's too much chewing for me. I'd recommend trying a variety of Gels so you can figure out which ones you like and work well with your stomach.
Learn to take on a hill. Wether its down or uphill. It's important to learn how to lean into/away from a hill to maximize your energy/effort.
Nothing new: Make sure you don't try anything new on race day. That includes food, hydration,clothing and shoes. The time for experimenting is during your training! If you think you need new shoes for race day, break them in during your shorter distances, so if there is any pain/chaffing you will not be stuck with the problem for very long.
Hold the Music: Music is awesome and I love it! But try not using it for as long as possible during the race. It will create such a great boost of energy once you do that it will feel like you have fresh legs!
Imodium AD: My marathon friend recommended this for my first race and after training and getting GI Distress on some of my longer runs, I did as I was told. Because no one wants to get that awful feeling, specially on race day, when you're trying to run your best race!
I hope you enjoyed these tips:)!!!

This is the most northerly of the District's five parishes and extends from Watford to Dacorum Borough. It is one of the oldest in the country, formed in 1894.
The parish comprises several hamlets together with the large village of Abbots Langley and the smaller communities of Bedmond and Langleybury. The centre of Abbots Langley is built around the parish church of St Lawrence The Martyr, in which there is a memorial to Pope Adrian IV, who in 1154 became the only Englishman ever to be elected to that office. He was born in Bedmond Village, being christened Nicholas Breakespeare.

"What is a blog?" is the type of question that can start conversations that will go on for hours. The reason for this is that the answer to the question is not a straightforward technical answer. Sure there is a technical answer which says that a blog is simply a website but that is far from being the answer that you will get from most people.
A blog is a website but it is wrapped in software that enables the average user to be able to create, update and customize this website very easily and without any previous programming experience. So most people feel that the answer to what is blog is that it is freedom. It frees people up from the technical requirements of a website and allows them to create an outlet for their ideas, for their dreams, for their knowledge and for their hopes.
Once a person learns how to blog they are very likely to develop a strong desire to comment on their blogs on a regular basis. They may feel the need to constantly add new information to an idea that they've been having or they may decide that they want to keep a journal of their daily activities in regards to the particular subject that they are focusing on. People use blogs for many different purposes some people will use them as a teaching tool for others. Some people use them as a way to find support for their political cause or their social agenda. Still others view blogs as a way to make some income, if they write enough content they are bound to get enough people to visit their blogs that they can monetize the blog somehow and make money.
Many of the things that people do today using blogs simply were not possible just a few years ago without extensive training on how to code HTML or code PHP and all the different factors that went into creating a website. Blogs changed all that. A few years ago people were constantly asking what is blog, what is a blog, what is blogging, or how do you set up a blog. Today those questions are answered in so many different ways that you can ask that question of 100 people and probably get 100 different answers.

Suicide jacket, claymore mines recovered from Jaffna
A suicide jacket, a stock of explosives and ammunition have been recovered from a house in the Maravanpulo area on the A32 road within the Chawakatchcheri police area in Jaffna District, police said. Police officers discovered a suicide jacket, 4 Claymore mines, 3 parcels containing around 12kg of TNT, 2 packets of 9mm ammo (100 bullets) and 2 battery packs used to detonate the claymore mines. It is suspected that the explosives and other equipment had been hidden in the area during the war. Police had reportedly raided the house on a tip-off that the owner had in his possession drugs and marijuana and during the raid the suspect had fled the area. Further investigations are being carried out to apprehend the suspect and regarding the discovery.
No threat to national security- Def.Sec
The discovery of a suicide kit and explosives in Vallakulam, Chavakachcheri wasn't a threat for the national security, Defence Secretary Karunasena Hettiarachchi said today. Addressing a press conference, Mr. Hettiarachchi said there's a huge gap between the national security and the discovery of such explosives. He also said there could be such items, which had been abandoned and gathered during the war period.
"Discoveries of such guns and explosives are frequently reported to us from these areas during the past years. Especially the Police are carrying out investigations regarding them and it is a responsibility of them to solve such issues. The defence forces won't work on such matters," he added. He said the Defence Ministry's responsibility was to estimate and validate the threat to the national security after obtaining such reports from the Police. "If the Police were in need of any support from the defence sector, we are ready to help them," he added. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)
Threat to national security- Joint Opp.
"Therefore the Government should not conceal the truth. However, we noticed the Government had published false amounts of explosives found in Chavakachcheri. We urge them to find those who involved in the incident, the purpose of them and whether this was just one incident in a planned network," he said. Former Agriculture Minister Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena said that the national security could not be handled properly because many officers of the Intelligence Service had been jailed over various allegations. – See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/107609/Threat-to-national-security-Joint-Opp-#sthash.I63dg2pp.dpuf

United Methodist Men gather after completing a recent work project for Owasso-First UMC.
Owasso-First UMC is among the first churches recognized for growth by a new program of The Foundation for Evangelism, affiliated with the denomination's General Board of Discipleship.
According to a Foundation survey of attendance patterns in thousands of UMC congregations, Owasso was among those that experienced the fastest growth: 20 percent or more in five years. Attendance at the church in Bartlesville District is averaging 500 people.
An interview with Pastor Chris Tiger was featured in "Celebrating Vibrant Churches," an online resource by the Foundation, offered to connect United Methodists with creative, successful evangelism practice ideas.
In September, the Owasso Progress also published Rev. Tiger's insights. He began serving First Church in June 1998.
Due to its growth, the church relocated to a new site about five years ago. Along with the attendance growth, it has had a corresponding increase in staff, programs, and ministries of every type.
Spotlighted here are portions of the interview with Tiger.
HAVE A SHARED VISION. Your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17).
When Tiger was appointed to Owasso, the church already was engaged in a process called Revision, which had been recommended by the Oklahoma Conference Board of Church Development. The church took this very seriously and became unified about the vision that was developed. There is great power in a shared vision.
MAINTAIN THE UNITY. Make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:3).
A prayer group developed that met weekly to pray for the church, the upcoming changes, and the construction process. We included as many people as we could in the planning of the new facility. We communicated often about the problems and the victories along the way. Sermons were preached to prepare people for what was to come.
DEVELOP A SERVANT'S HEART. Whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant (Mark 10:43).
Emphasizing that we are all servants of Jesus Christ has helped our church reach out. We have a great reputation in our community as a church that helps others. We do not have volunteers in our church; we only have servants.
BE WELCOMING AND GRACIOUS. Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you (Romans 15:7).
We strive to be a place of grace, where people can come just as they are and receive a warm welcome. One of my gifts is the ability to recall names, and I use this gift to reach people for God. We want the culture of our church to reflect God's kindness, love, grace, and mercy.
REACH OUT TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH. Let the little children come to me (Matthew 18:14).
The church showed its huge heart for children and youth by building a wonderful facility for them. We developed a great reputation in our community as a church who cares for kids. Our best ministries are aimed at reaching them.
These are some of the things that have worked for us. I think they can work for you as well.
The Foundation's director of Church Relations, Kenneth Lambert, interviewed Tiger. The organization was founded in 1949 by renowned evangelist Harry Denman.
At each Oklahoma Annual Conference, Denman Awards for Evangelism honor outstanding clergy and laity who transform lives in Oklahoma for Christ. Other Foundation programs also fully endow 13 professors at UM-related seminaries around the world, including the United States, Zimbabwe, Germany, and Russia.


I am just constructing my raised beds for general vegetable growing. Now all I have to do is fill it up. What should i fill it up with? Can I use standard multi-purpose compost like you buy in big bags from a garden centre or should i get a load of topsoil delivered?
We're actually discussing some of this in the Organic Gardening section, you may want to stop by there. I have clay soil, so I used half of it and half cow compost, some mushroom compost, some topsoil mix from a nursery, and then I keep adding kitchen scraps to it to keep building my soil from there.
They should be enough to answer your questions, if after reading the threads, you still have some questions; don't hesitate to ask them.
Generally however, I like to dig down and lay some leaves followed by a layer of soil then more leaves, some manure and finally soil. Plant whatever you want to grow insofaras perennials and annuals. In the fall when your annuals have died off, mulch them into the soil then, add leaves followed by a green of some kind (manure, coffee grounds, grass, etc.) and then plant an overwintering cover crop like a good rye mix (with legumes, vetch and so on) and let grow until the following spring. In the spring turn your "green manure" into the soil and break up before planting.
I want to get something ready in the next week or two so that I have something ready to plant into this spring.
While I know it is not ideal in the longer-term, I only really have two choices: a load of top soil delivered or bags of multi-purpose compost. In time I will improve these but need something to get me going.
my perrsonal advice is to use the compost. It will breakdown into rich, humusy soil.
If you can get your hands on some Rock phosphate, sprinkle that over the compost as you add each bag.
Also, if there are any fallen leaves (except Walnut (Juglone, inhibits most plants and Oak if you want to grow grasses, like corn.) rake them up and layer them before you add your compost.
Once you have plants in your garden, you could try some blood meal as an organic fertilzer (which is a green), I like Kelp Meal (also a green) and you can dig trenches and put your kitchen wastes in the area with shredded newspaper or leaves (better).
The Jury is now out on some advice that I have been giving for years, whether or not colour inks contain dioxins, I am not sure that they do. According to one of our members, burnt paper contains dioxins (which are harmful to plants). I have collected about half a dozen papers that I am currently synthezing that will answer the question and if I remember I will let you know if colour articles are bad for composting.
For now, just stick to using black and white newspaper articles.

Getting high on one's own supply
Thread starter Namakemono
Namakemono
Español, gallego (España)
I've seen this expression in a couple of different contexts and I still don't understand what it means. Is it something along the lines of "thinking you're more prepared than you really are"?
AmEnglish/German
It's common streetwise jargon. If you're a drug dealer, you shouldn't take the drugs you're dealing or you'll become addicted yourself and stop making lots of money. You're not supposed to get high on your own supply (of weed, coke, heroin, etc.) or you'll lose focus of your goal: making money at the expense of others.
In more innocent terms: don't eat all those Girl Scout cookies you're supposed to sell at the fundraiser.
Thanks. I thought it would be something a bit more "conceptual".

Clearly no real drug dealers here. This expression is not about not taking the drugs you are selling. Back in the glory days of Revolution and recreational drug use, anyone who forwent the enjoyment of a commodity he expected others to get off on-- would lose all his customers, and soon.
This is/was especially true of weed. Smoking illicit herb is a consummately social act, and at least before prices increased almost tenfold during the eighties, solitary smokers were looked down on and mistrusted. This went double for dealers, even though anyone with common sense should know that "staying for the party" was a physical impossibility for retail-unit merchants with any real clientele. Even so, the token toke was a necessity, and a definite built-in hazard for any dealers who got ambitious or wanted to get rich. A drop-and-run attitude got you a rep as "Mr Businessman," and people sought more sociable sources-- such people as were thought to be more trustworthy.
"Getting high on your own supply" was strictly about gluttony, overdoing things, putting self-indulgence ahead of the service of others-- your first clue you were doing this was when you found yourself indulging alone, at home. Your second clue was when you had a meet and you'd gotten so stoned, at home with a prospective replacement for your ex old lady, that you couldn't remember whether to bring money or weight to it.
In my day people who got high on their own supply were a self-correcting problem to society, but there was definitely that ten percent or so who couldn't quit raiding the stash jar at all hours, and needed to find another line of work. Nowadays the drugs are presumably more powerful or irresistable-- it could be "getting high on your own supply" is a lot harder to avoid, and customers themselves are a lot more businesslike about scoring, and there's no reason to cut into your profits, except of course for quality control-- the test flight of each wholesale unit before you break it down and weigh it out.
Of course strong, microdose commodity like LSD was its own special case, and it may well be in psychedelics that the cautionary expression originated. The canard was, that you could absorb enough chemical while cutting up blotter or counting out microdots-- to end up tripping your brains out. There were people who avoided "getting high on their own supply" by wearing rubber gloves during this procedure.

Q: Tem como usar um dialog para abrir tanto pastas quanto arquivos? Bom, estou usando o openfiledialog para abrir arquivos, porém o software necessita receber arquivos ou pastas, porque ele comprimi e zipa (.zip) para depois fazer uma cifra simétrica.
Procurei em diversos sites e afins, e não encontrei uma forma de usar o mesmo dialog para abrir ambos tipos.

Senchimentaru na tabi fuyu no tabi or Sentimental Journey/Winter Journey, a photobook created and published by photographer Araki Nobuyoshi in 1991, documented two highly personal events of the photographer's life. The first section consists of twenty-two images of Araki's 1971 honeymoon with his wife Yōko Aoki, while the second section features ninety-one images and an essay documenting the last six months of Yōko's life in 1989-90. This thesis measures SJ/WJ against a Japanese literary tradition invoked by Araki in his opening manifesto: the shishōsetsu. A genre of writing from the early 1900's that read like a confessional or personal diary, the shishōsetsu was regarded as a `true' story insofar as it revealed a totally transparent `author' within a totally transparent `text.' Given these criteria, this thesis determines the success of Araki's SJ/WJ as a true-to-life autobiography.

Phu Quoc Island – best hotel business in Vietnam

Phu Quoc Island - Asian top destination
Compared to that of large tourist cities such as Vung Tau, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Hanoi and even Ho Chi Minh City, hotels in Phu Quoc Island have best business result and highest revenue throughout Vietnam.
According to the latest research of CB Richard Ellis Vietnam (CBRE), the average revenue per available room (RevPAR) of two highest-ranking hotels in Phu Quoc in 2013 was $ 124, while that of Mui Ne - the capital of resorts - reached just $ 115.8, of Ho Chi Minh City was $ 123.2, and of Hanoi was $ 102.27. The average occupancy rate of luxury hotels in Phu Quoc is maintained stably during the last 3 years, approximately at 75 percent. Small-scale hotels which possess from 17 to 43 rooms often achieve 80% occupancy or more. Resorts built in Bungalow style tend to reach higher occupancy than high-rise hotels because most tourists visiting Phu Quoc, especially international tourists, prefer to stay in hotels which are close to nature and do not lose the natural landscape of the island.
In term of price, a 4-star luxury hotel or resort in Phu Quoc averagely has a price of $ 180 to 200 for one room per night with the occupancy of 80 percent. Meanwhile, a 4-star average hotel targeting to domestic tourists offers a price of $ 50 to 100 for one room. Nevertheless, in the near future, the rate is expected to decrease about 50 to 60% when Phu Quoc Island is connected to national grid.
Business result of Phu Quoc tourism also chanes seasonally. Hotel occupancy is reported to reach very high rate in the period from January to March (high season) before descending from Mid-May to September (low season). Occupancy rate recovers in the early October when another high season starts. Similarly, the room rate in Phu Quoc declined significantly in low season compared to that of high season. Both occupancy and room rate peak in the period of Christmas and the New Year which means December and January. It fall sharply in June when the rainy season begins.
Those aforementioned impressive numbers, plus with available potential of landscape and climate, Phu Quoc is attracting a huge number of investors. Several large investors in real estate have "jumped into" this potential market such as Crowne Plaza, a well-known brand of InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG), and Novotel, a brand of hotel operator Accor Group.
In addition to those two hotels, there are many other projects which have been built in recent months such as Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Hotel by BIM Group, which will provide 400 luxury rooms; and 4-star Novotel Phu Quoc Resort in the complex of Sonasea Vilals & Resort by CEO Group. Expectedly, projects will be completed in 2015 and 2016.

How one writer took off her God hat and learned to harmonize.
Because I make my living at it, I took the novel-writing skill-set to be a comprehensive toolkit for creative fulfillment. Or at least for my creative fulfillment. Having done time as an actor, director, and screenwriter, I was pretty confident that the novel-writing groove was my one true Happy Place.
Then unexpectedly, at the age of 49, I became an alto. Talk about a game changer.
Singing harmony in a large chamber chorus snatched my toolkit from my hand, yanked me out of my groove, and hurtled me 180 degrees away from my Happy Place, leaving me disoriented and bewildered.
I'd never thought to inventory the Unavoidables of Long-Form Fiction until I encountered the Unavoidables of Choral Singing, and realized they were each other's perfect counterpoints. One thing you learn to appreciate in choral singing: Counterpoint is awesome. Following are some examples of how doing the opposite of My Most Favorite Thing Ever also end up being … My Most Favorite Thing Ever.
Executive function: When you create and populate a world, and determine its characters' motivations and behaviors, you're playing God. You're the ultimate CEO. Yes, creativity draws upon the right side of the brain, but structuring an entire book requires a lot of left-brain effort. The buck starts and stops with you.
Counterpoint: When singing in a chorus, you give up executive functioning to the music director or choir master — he, not you, calls the shots. Somebody else's left brain is running the show. You're not generating, you're just interpreting. Take off your God Hat for awhile — it doesn't belong in this rehearsal. Doesn't that feel better?
Distinctive voice: Every writer has a particular tone, approach, patter, point of view, call it what you will. Good authors, without being precious about it, are hip to their own distinctiveness, and nurture it. Huge responsibility, that.
Counterpoint: There are some amazing soloists in a good chorus — but most important is that your voice blends well with others. Unlike nonverbal pastimes (gardening, cooking, sports), you're not taking a break from logocentric expression — just from the pressure of making your logocentric expression stand out as "something special."
Work alone: Even when you have collaborators, writing a novel consists mostly of you sitting down all by your lonesome, and just doing the damn work. Hour upon hour, day after day.
Counterpoint: Except for procreative sex, singing in harmony is possibly the only human activity that by its very definition cannot be done alone. You cannot sing in harmony by yourself. Other people are innately a part of the experience.
Focus inward: I listen to the rooster crowing outside, and appreciate the smell of the roses, and pat my dog, and thank my awesome husband for bringing me a perfect cup of tea, but these are all distractions. The best work happens when nothing outside of myself requires my attention (ideally for days at a time).
Counterpoint: As a choral singer, the last thing you want to do is get lost inside your own head. Listen to what's going on around you. That's where the action is, on the other side of your ears from all the writerly stuff. Be in this moment, here and now. Pay attention, don't shut it out. Your inner monologue just gets in the way.
Forget your body: When you write, you glue yourself to the seat, sharpen the pencil or charge the laptop — or perhaps get on your walking treadmill or settle in with your voice-recognition app. Get your body comfortable and then, if you're lucky, forget it exists for a few hours.
Counterpoint: Multiple studies from Canada to Australia have measured the positive effects of singing on the body. It works many core muscles, and beneficially affects other bodily systems. In short: Singing is the lazy person's extreme sport. By the end of the writing day I feel the need for exercise; by the end of rehearsal, I feel exercised.
Embrace permanence: Writers work toward something that will eventually be set in print. Once a book is published, that's the book. You cannot keep writing it, and even if you wish you could disown it, it will still exist.
Counterpoint: Music is ephemeral. Once you've sung the song, the song is over. Even if you're recording it, that's literally just a record of it, not the thing itself. In writing, the writing and the written are enmeshed. At the end of the writing day, I have something I can return to later to continue. At the end of rehearsal, all I have is the experience of having sung.
Coda: The relationship between Novelist-Happy and Choral-Singer-Happy is not a competition. They're in harmony. There is resolution between them. And as polar opposites go, they mirror each other beautifully, for both are creative acts designed to give voice to something within oneself. These two things happen to be my polarity. Whatever your bliss is, find its counterpoint and enjoy the harmonizing.

Shocking details emerge of three more alleged rapes in India
Activists say high-visibility cases put spotlight on India's ongoing problem
A 14-year-old girl has died in another case of a lower-caste woman allegedly being raped by the same man twice in India.
The girl was kidnapped in May by the same suspect who allegedly attacked her in December, according to a police report filed by her parents, a senior Delhi police official told CNN.
The suspect was reportedly out on bail while he awaited trial in the first rape case involving the girl.

The girl belonged to the Dalit caste, Swati Maliwal, chairwoman of the Delhi Commission for Women, told CNN. Dalit is the lowest caste in Indian society.

Her parents told police the alleged attacker forced the girl to drink chemicals.
She died Sunday after being admitted to the hospital in June when she fell ill. The suspect was arrested again following her death, police said.
The girl's death comes after brutal details emerged last week of another case of a Dalit student allegedly raped by the same group of men for a second time. The allegations of the double gang-rape caused an international outcry, raised questions around why the accused were granted bail and highlighted the vulnerability of Dalit women in India.
According to India's National Crime Records Bureau, more than four Dalit women are raped every day, with 2014 statistics saying crime against Dalits rose 19%. In many of the cases, these crimes are committed by perpetrators from an upper caste.
"For centuries, the lower caste (has) been subject to oppression, and one form of suppressing their empowerment has been through violence," Sunitha Krishnan, a rape survivor, activist and mental health specialist, told CNN.
"And to a woman or a child, the worst form of violence you can think of is sexual assault and sex crime."
Attacks on 4-year-old girl, Israeli woman reported
Unfortunately, such cases are by no means unusual, but the more sensational ones help increase visibility, according to Krishnan.
"We need to acknowledge that statistics say every 22 minutes a woman or a child gets raped in this country, and we need not only to break our silence but to act on it," she said.
"Sex crime is not only in India. You can single out India, saying that it is the only one having this problem, but it happens everywhere. However, in a country like India, these issues are not highlighted. For every 100,000 cases, only one gets highlighted."
Met 4 year old rape victim. Marks over her body tell her brutal ordeal. In deep pain n trauma. Totally inhuman. When will Delhi b rape free?
— Swati Maliwal (@SwatiJaiHind) July 25, 2016
Even in a country accustomed to stories of sexual violence, Sunday was particularly shocking.
That evening, a 4-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her 28-year-old neighbor in western Delhi, Rajendar Singh, inspector of Delhi police, told CNN. The girl is now in a stable condition.
In the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, an Israeli woman, 25, was allegedly gang-raped by six men, Padam Chand, superintendent of Himachal Pradesh police, told CNN.
According to police, the woman said she was looking for a ride outside her guesthouse early Sunday when the driver of a car carrying the men offered her a lift to a nearby town.
In Delhi, such cases happen every two days, said Maliwal of the Delhi Commission for Women.
"It's become really sad, because we are concerned there is a lot of politics going on in Delhi, but we very strongly feel there is hardly any change being done on the ground," she said.

0:14Skip to 0 minutes and 14 secondsIn the last video, we saw how we reason analogically. We proceed from the observation that two or more things are similar in some respects, to the conclusion that they are probably similar in some other respect, as well. Here's how this applies in law. In August, 1928, Mrs. May Donaghue and a friend went into the Wellmeadow Cafe in Paisley, Scotland. The friend bought her ice cream and ginger beer to make a soda. The ginger beer came in an opaque glass bottle. The shopkeeper poured some of the ginger beer into a glass over the ice cream. Mrs. Donahue drank some, and her friend poured the rest of the ginger beer in the glass for her.
1:03Skip to 1 minute and 3 secondsBut, as she did so, a partially decomposed snail floated out of the bottle. "In sequence of the nauseating sight of the snail in such circumstances, and of the noxious condition of the said snail-tainted ginger beer consumed by her, Mrs. Donaghue sustained shock, and indeed, illness." Mrs. Donaghue sued the ginger beer manufacturer, Stevenson, climbing 500 pound. Now most lawyers would probably have told her that she was wasting her time and money. You could then sue in negligence only if you had a contract under which someone owed you a duty of care. And Mrs. Donaghue had no contract-- not with the shopkeeper-- her friend had bought the ginger beer-- or with the manufacturer, whose contract was with the shopkeeper. But remarkably, Mrs.
1:55Skip to 1 minute and 55 secondsDonaghue won. And in one of the most important cases in western legal history, the tort of negligence was born. Now the judgement in Donaghue and Stevenson, itself involves complex analogical reasoning, as the judge, Lord Atkin, finds authority for his decision in various proceeding cases and extra legal material, including the Bible. But we see the mode of reasoning more clearly in decisions that follow the snail in the ginger beer case. Donaghue itself might have been read as establishing a fairly narrow principle.
2:34Skip to 2 minutes and 34 secondsOn one reading, just this-- "A manufacturer of products, which he sells in such a form as to show that he intends them to reach the ultimate consumer in the form in which they left him with no reasonable possibility of intermediate examination, and with the knowledge that the absence of reasonable care in the preparation or putting up of the products will result in an injury to the consumer's life or property, owes a duty to the consumer to take that reasonable care." Analogical reasoning, however, allowed the courts to quickly move beyond that narrow principle. In the early 1930s, around the same time that Mrs. Donahue was enjoying-- or not enjoying-- her soda in Paisley, a Dr.
3:20Skip to 3 minutes and 20 secondsGrant was buying a pair of woollen underpants in Adelaide, Australia. The underpants came wrapped in paper. Unfortunately, for Doctor Grant, the manufacturer hadn't washed a caustic solution out of the underpants. And he, having apparently worn them for an entire week without washing them, developed a very serious, almost fatal, dermatitis. The Court in Grant and the Australian Knitting Mills, lists the features they take to be central in the then recent and revolutionary Donaghue's case. A manufacturer had to sell products in a form in which he intended them to reach the ultimate consumer. There had to be no reasonable opportunity for the consumer to examine the product before consumption.
4:15Skip to 4 minutes and 15 secondsThe manufacturer had to know that if he didn't take reasonable care, his product posed a risk to the consumer. And if features one, two, and three were present, so was a new feature-- a legal duty of care to the consumer. And, say the Australian Court, Grant's case resembles Donaghue's. One, Australian Knitting Mills sold the underpants in the form they intended them to be worn. Two, though they were wrapped in paper, and not sealed in a bottle, the consumer couldn't have seen the caustic solution by looking at the underpants. Three, the manufacturer knew, or ought to have known that wearing caustic underpants might be very, very bad for you.
5:04Skip to 5 minutes and 4 secondsAnd so since Grant resembled Donahue in those respects, it also had the further feature-- a duty of care and so liability. Putting it in our schema-- one, Grant's case is similar to Donaghue's case-- it shares features one to three. Two, Donaghue's case has the further feature-- a duty of care and liability. Three, therefore, Grant's case also has that further feature. The judges in the caustic underpants case, in other words, reasoned by analogy. Looking for similarities, interpreting or setting aside some-- the fact the underpants weren't in a sealed container and weren't food didn't matter. They were like the colour of the car.
5:54Skip to 5 minutes and 54 secondsBefore saying, this case is similar to that one, and therefore the extra property-- a duty of care-- applies in Grant because it applied in the ginger beer case. Reasoning by analogy is central to legal reasoning. It allows lawyers and judges to pay proper regard to previous decisions, while also allowing them to extend those decisions, to work out which similarities really matter. And it can do that in a logical and critical thinking outside the law as well.

Remember, there are a number of great Christmas events coming up in the region soon.
Don't forget the Charity Checkstop Dec. 10 on Hwy #2A in Wetaskiwin.
The Charity Checkstop to benefit Wetaskiwin Victim Services and Secret Santa will take place on the four lane stretch of road going past the Super 8 Hotel from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The charity checkstop is rather simple in form: motorists drive up to the checkstop and see all the police and emergency lights flashing, two volunteers will greet motorists, they'll have two pails (one full of candy canes for donors along with an info card from Students Against Drunk Driving, one for cash donations) and motorists will also have a chance to donate non-perishable food items and toys for the Secret Santa program.
All cash donations go to support Wetaskiwin Victim Services and its programs in the community.
Secret Santa is handled by the city's FCSS department, and can be for kids newborn to teen. The gifts are given anonymously to local families who are in need.
Wetaskiwin's Manluk Centre is looking to bring even more holiday cheer to the community with its inaugural Festival of Trees event. Christmas trees registered by the business community will be displayed in public areas of the Manluk Centre from Dec. 9 to 31.
Within the community the concept of the event was well received, and by the morning of Nov. 25 11 trees were registered. There is no registration fee for the event and businesses are being encouraged to decorate their tree to reflect the business or community.
