Where do Gerbils Come From?
Author: Meighen McIntyre
It's pretty interesting learning about how your pets became a domesticated animal that was once only a wild animal. We're all familiar with the idea that household dogs are domesticated wolves, but where do gerbils come from?
Gerbils originated in Asia and Africa. The most popular gerbil was found in a steppe in Mongolia, was sent to Japan for breeding, and then made its way to the United States. The living conditions where gerbils originated make today's domesticated gerbil an incredible family pet.

There are over 100 different types of gerbils living in the wild. Of those, only two have been domesticated. For this article, we'll be taking a look at the most common domestic gerbil; the Mongolian Gerbil.
Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) are originally from- you guessed it, Mongolia, but they weren't always called Mongolian gerbils.
They were first called desert rats. Mongolia is nestled right in between China and Russia, and it has a pretty cool steppe.
A steppe is what happens to a desert when it's given enough water to grow greenery but is still too hot and there isn't enough water to support trees. The steppe actually has a large impact on a gerbil's behavior.
Gerbils don't have many predators because there aren't many that can survive the heat, but they do need to watch out for snakes and birds of prey.
There's no place to hide when you're surrounded by nothing but grass. To survive, gerbils had to be quick. They have incredibly strong back legs that allow gerbils to outrun their predators.
The nails on their front paws are sharp and that makes it easier and faster to burrow into the earth to escape their predators.
Think of the gerbil's underground home as an airconditioned apartment. Burrowing underground not only gives gerbils an escape route from their predators, but it also gives them a cool place to hang out during the hottest hours of the day.
There isn't much to eat besides grass and seeds, so gerbils needed to evolve to have incredibly strong teeth to break open the seeds they find.
Because it is so hot in the Mongolian Steppe, a gerbil's body can take solid food and fat stores and turn them into water! This keeps them hydrated until it rains again.
Gerbils also don't pee very often. Ewww, gross! This keeps their homes cleaner, and it allows them to stay hydrated from the liquid in their bodies, almost like a really small camel!
Even though the daytime is incredibly hot, the nights are extremely cool. This made gerbils diurnal, which means they are awake during the day, and they sleep at night.
They are most active right around dusk as the sun is setting and the temperatures have cooled off. Once it's cooler they leave their burrow in search of food and water and then return home to sleep.
Gerbils were found in Mongolia in the 1860s by a French missionary. While he was travelling in Mongolia, he captured close to 20 gerbils and sent them to Japan where they were bred.
In 1954 Mongolian gerbils were imported to the United States. Five females and four males were bred to produce gerbils for distribution for scientific research. Inevitably, some of these gerbils became pets, and it's easy to see why.
Gerbils in the wild would urinate infrequently to preserve liquids, and they haven't stopped this habit. So, the cages these gerbils were kept in were much cleaner and smelled much better than the cages of rats, mice, and hamsters.
The gerbils are also awake during the day and are highly active, so it gave the researchers something to watch. The way gerbils run, burrow, and jump is very entertaining.
If you're looking to buy a gerbil, there are a few places you can find them.
Pet shops are the easiest place to purchase a gerbil from. They often have several that you can buy at once, so your gerbil doesn't need to be lonely. The gerbils at pet stores are also cheap to buy compared to the other options.
Adoption shelters or rescue agencies will sometimes have gerbils for adoption too. It's not very likely you'll find a gerbil up for adoption, but it is worth a shot to take a look around before purchasing a gerbil from a store.
The third option for buying gerbils is from breeders. There are breeders throughout the states that breed and sell gerbils. There are even some breeders who specifically breed certain colors and have successfully bred new colored gerbils.
Breeders come with a higher price tag, but if you're looking for a specific gerbil type or colour, they are a great place to buy a gerbil from. With a gestational period of only 24-26 days and 4-8 baby gerbils per pregnancy, there are new gerbils ready to be bought all the time.
The history of where gerbils come from is pretty cool. From the Mongolian Steppe to Japan, and then to the United States is a pretty big trip for such small creatures.
But it's where they came from that make them great pets. Minimal smells, awake during the day, and highly active makes them an entertaining addition to any family.

Just like a surfer can't ride without a board and an angler can't fish without a rod, you can't attack whitewater or survive an open-ocean squall without your paddle. Attach the Sea To Summit Solution Paddle Leash to your propulsion device (or fishing rod) and you won't be left stranded.
The leash holds solid the paddle with the velcro and it has a perfect length. For me the perfect length means : not too long to get in my way when going out of the kayak, long enough for me to put the paddle in the seating area.
It's just a leash so don't expect anything super special. I like it a lot, the fit is pretty secure and easy to take on and off. I especially like how it doesn't tend to get tangled. Good leash.
How long is this leash?
I used a surf board leash, attached kayak to paddle, for 15 years, in2-4 foot surf, only one snap. I had the strength to hold and never lost the kayak on a wipe out. How will this hold up?
The way you've written your question, it sounds like you're trying to stay with your boat rather than keep your paddle. A paddle leash is meant to keep the paddle with you in a wipe out. If that is the case, and you are trying to keep your paddle with you rather than your boat, this will definitely get the job done. Now if you're trying to stay tethered to your boat, that's not the intended purpose of this piece, and while it might work, I wouldn't bet on it.
Any raft guides out there use this? How long is the leash? Would it get in the way of a big draw-stroke?
You are unlikely to ever see a whitewater rafting guide using a paddle leash. It's far too dangerous to have the paddle attached to your arm in a moment of crisis-- it's extra stuff to get tangled up in-- you need to be able to set your paddle down to use a throwbag, for example-- and you need to be able to flip the paddle around to T-grip a guest who's just fallen in and is still within arm's reach. In a flip, it's imperative that you be able to let go of the paddle if needed.
It's gonna depend on how heroic your drawstrokes are, but you should still be able to complete a draw with the leash attached, though I personally would advise against it.
The leash is made from a length of stretchy nylon that is 3 feet without any tension. According to Sea to Summit, it can be stretched up to 7 feet, but I think that'd be pushing it.
If you have any other questions about rafting, guiding, or paddle-related gear at all, feel free to hit me up. I'm cooped up in the office for the summer instead of working on the river, and I'd love to live vicariously through your adventures!


Monitoring Desk (The National): A UN mission supervising a ceasefire in Yemen's port city of Hodeidah arrived in Aden on Saturday to meet Yemeni government officials before a scheduled trip the rebel-held capital of Sanaa, said Waleed Al Qudaimi, the deputy governor of Hodeidah, toldThe National.
Led by Patrick Cammaert, a retired Dutch general, the team will travel to the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah after their stop in Sanaa and meet Houthi officials, Colonel Wathah Al Dubaish, a spokesperson for the pro-government Al Amalikah forces said.
The UN mission is due to secure the functioning of Hodeidah's port as well as supervise the withdrawal of fighters from the city.
Pro-government forces are expected to withdraw to the southern flanks of Hodeidah, while Houthi rebels withdraw to areas in the north, following the deployment of UN monitors, a source in the Yemeni army toldThe National.
Another source with the Al Amalikah brigade toldThe Nationalthat pro-government forces stationed on the front-lines in Hodeidah have received orders from central command on Friday to withdraw to the southern outskirts of the city.
"We have withdrawn our forces from positions in the city to the southern area of Al Duraihmi," the source said. "At the moment forces affiliated with the National Resistance led by Major Tariq Saleh are still deployed in their positions in the city and they are supposed to withdraw to the southern areas too in the next few days " he added.
Residents in Hodeidah said on Saturday that the area has been calm since Friday evening.
One resident said that Houthi rebels were still stationed across Hodeidah, and could be seen wearing the uniforms of official security forces.
Mr Cammaert on Saturday was welcomed on arrival by Saghir bin Aziz, a general who heads the government team tasked with organising the withdrawal of troops from Hodeidah.
He also met with Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik and the governor of Hodiedah Hassan Taher, Mr Al Dubaish said.
The UN team was on Friday given an initial period of 30 days to monitor a ceasefire between government forces and Houthi rebelsin Hodeidah and surrounding areas, with any breaches to be reported by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to the Security Council.
The adopted resolution authorises the Secretary-General to establish and deploy an advance team to begin monitoring the ceasefire and to implement the Stockholm Agreement that came out of UN-brokered peace talks between the Houthis and Yemen's internationally-recognised government in Sweden last week. Mr Guterres will report to the Council on a weekly basis regarding the ceasefire and the situation in Yemen.
The resolution was greeted with support from the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the main powers in the Arab-led coalition that backs Yemen's government.
Khalid Manzalawi, Saudi Arabia's deputy permanent representative to the UN, said the resolution "confirms Saudi diplomatic efforts and their direct impact on the international community's decision," according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

Fort drum track upgrades
Replaced 28,700 feet of track
Replaced 1,610 ties
Installed 11 turnouts
RailWorks completed a three-phase, $3 million project to remove and replace track and turnouts and a crossing on and around the Fort Drum Army Base in Watertown, N.Y.
The majority of work was performed on Fort Drum. Rail was brought in on flat cars in 80' lengths and unloaded by an on-track Badger and Pettibone speed swing. A crew comprised of an average of 15 employees completed work over a seven-month period.
RailWorks removed and replaced a total of 28,700 feet of track, 1,510 ties and 11 turnouts. They installed three derails and one 100-foot concrete crossing.
Crews endured volatile upstate New York winter weather conditions during the completion of the project, routinely working in sub-zero temperatures.
Fort Drum is headquarters for 22 active and reserve units, including the Army light infantry division that carries on the name of the 10th Mountain Division. The present division supports the mobilization and training about 80,000 troops annually. The early 10th Mountain Division specialized in training for mountain and harsh winter warfare and included ski units.

Q: Vue load page after save to store token auth I create file JS to get token from databse and save it in session sotorage, next import this file to app.js in Vue:
import Auth from './auth/auth';

new Vue({
    el: "#app_resource",
    router,
    store,
    beforeMount() {
      window.auth = new Auth();
    },
    render: h => h(App)
});

file auth.js
import axios from 'axios';

class Auth  {
  constructor() {
    this.getToken();
    let token = window.sessionStorage.getItem('token');
    if (token) {
      axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + token;
    }
  }

  getToken(){
    let options = {
      method: "post",
      url: "/getapitoken",
      headers: {
          'Accept': 'application/json'
      }
    };
    axios(options)
    .then(response => {
      let token = response.data.token
      if (token) {
        this.issetToken(token);
      }
    })
    .catch(({ response }) => {
      console.warn(response);
    });
  }

  issetToken(token){
    if (window.sessionStorage.getItem('token') === null) {
      window.sessionStorage.setItem('token', token);
    } else {
      window.sessionStorage.removeItem('token');
      window.sessionStorage.setItem('token', token);
    }
    axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + token;
  }

}

export default Auth;

Token in session storage save correctly, but I have a problem, because I have redirect to start page after login, on start page are getting data from database, and I need token to get this data. But Vue return error 401 (unauthorized) (like Vue cant see token). I must refresh page and now I can get data from databse.
How I can get date without refresh page afte login ?

A: The problem, I believe, is that you're getting the token while you're making your request somewhere else.
Here is the sequence of events as I believe it to be happening.

*

*auth.js contstructor starts request to get token

*auth.js assigns token from storage (missing on first load) to default

*somecomponent.vue makes an api call using missing token (session empty)

*auth.js completes getToken and assigns new token to default headers

*somecomponent.vue's api call fails because the API call didn't have the token

Now when you refresh the page...

*

*auth.js contstructor starts request to get token

*auth.js assigns token from storage

*somecomponent.vue makes an api call using the token from the session storage

*auth.js completes getToken and updates the token in the session

*somecomponent.vue's api call succeeds because the API call used the correct token before the getToken function got the new one

If this is the case, all you need to do is defer any api activity until you have the token. Of course this maybe isn't straight forward, because you need to know whether the token is set, and chain the requests or have some way.
You could try just holding off on the redirect until your getToken succeeds (though I don't know how you're handling that) by getting the function to return a promise
  getToken(){
    let options = {
      method: "post",
      url: "/getapitoken",
      headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json'
      }
    };
    return axios(options)
    .then(response => {
      let token = response.data.token
      if (token) {
        this.issetToken(token);
        return token;
      }
    })
    .catch(({ response }) => {
      console.warn(response);
    });
  }

and then you may be able to use something like window.auth.getToken().then(()=>doMyRedirect())
The way I've handled these situations in the past is by using Vuex, and in the Vuex store keep state information, so any other function can check if the token is currently being pulled, so no other requests are being made simultaneously, but that still requires some logic to make the requests happen after.


For a company or a business to make profits, there should be some measures to minimize the cost of operations. All the factors of production should as well be involved correctly. This is the same thing that happens in the economy as a whole. If the factors of production are involved the right way, there's a promise for economic growth. Over time, businesses have been struggling due to some economic and political factors. They have struggled for a long time to increase capital investment and even labor to scale their growth. Although labor and investments have been on the use previously to level growth in the economy, they are no longer able to sustain growth in most of the economies. With the advancement in technology and all the promises that we are getting, economies are getting to a point where Artificial Intelligence is at the core of every economic growth.
Some of the financial technology experts argue that AI has the potential to double economic growth by 2035. What this means is that every player in the economy must take swift measures to make sure they don't miss even a single opportunity. All the policy makers and business leaders must prepare for this and work towards a future with Artificial Intelligence.
The capabilities of AI are immense and it has been projected that by 2025, AI will have added $814 billion to the economy of UK which is expected to increase rates from 2.5 to 3.5%. I bet you can trust this because you have seen vehicles operating independently and trucks that are being driven by one operator. Now Artificial Intelligence is adding directly to the ease of completing tasks.
People think we have seen enough but the reality of the matter is that this is just the beginning. We have to be looking to where AK is headed. The advancement of AI is significant and there's a lot to expect. We have just seen the yellow rays of morning sun. I can assure you that there are a couple of other things that we should bear in mind and start looking at to be sure we understand every bit of AI and how it can affect growth in the near future.
We can expect that there will be more advancement to mimic human capabilities which may later add directly to the ease of doing things. We are expecting a complete advancement in performance which we think will be a contributing factor for growth.
However, there's a lot that still remains far away from reality. The main challenge is the inability to develop devices with the computing powers to interpret complicated responses like emotions. It may take time to reach full AI but we expect some practical AI applications and devices coming in to help people in one way or the other.
The fact is that AI is a combination of several technologies that may fuel the economy in one way or the other. Different technologies are advanced to enable machines to sense, comprehend and act and even learn some things to facilitate human activities. Traditionally, there has been a marked decline in the ability of traditional levels of production including capital, investment and labor to scale economic growth. Today, AI is a new factor of production and for that reason, it has the potential to introduce new sources of growth. This changes the way work is done and reinforcing the role of people in scaling business growth. AI will promote economic growth in the next few years by changing the nature of work and creating a new and intact relationship between humans and technology. In terms of how AI will impact growth and most importantly increase profitability I much bigger. As I have already stated, AI functions as a new factor of production.
This is the other way that AI will boost growth and productivity. It will with ease help create a new virtual workforce. People will turn into using warehouse robots along with human workers which can increase productivity. It can as well help use an AI platform to handle customer queries.
AI will at the same time complement and enhance the ability of the existing workforce. It is very easy to use AI to review millions of publications about emerging risks to help insurance underwriters make better decisions.
The innovations in this area will spread in different sectors. With the existing measures such as autonomous vehicles, it will be easy to reduce tasks such as banking and shopping. It will free up a lot of time that people would otherwise use to do the same.
The fact is that there are some of the industries that will benefit from AI more than the others. There's a report that AI will have more impact on healthcare and retail. It is expected that healthcare may see 55% in growth and 59% in retail. The other industries that may benefit from these are the financial sector and communications with 31% and 17% respectively. Labor intensive sectors such as healthcare and retail AI will impact significantly complementing human workforce. This will make people more productive over time. The human workforce will at the same time have a good time to focus on critical tasks.


A U.S.-based animal protection group is touring coastal Nova Scotia communities in hopes of finding one interested in becoming a retirement home for whales and dolphins raised in captivity.
The Whale Sanctuary Project says it is holding public information meetings in Dartmouth, Liverpool, Port Hawkesbury, Sherbrooke and Sheet Harbour to identify a possible seaside sanctuary for beluga whales freed from entertainment parks.
The group's executive director, Charles Vinick, says the selected community could see jobs and economic benefits with the creation of an education centre and the need to purchase tons of frozen fish to feed the whales.
The organization says it is looking for a 40-hectare area along the Atlantic shore of Nova Scotia "that can become a home to whales who are retired from entertainment facilities or are injured and need rehabilitation within a netted-off area."
The group estimates it would cost about $20 million to create the sanctuary, along with costs with the long-term care of the animals.
It would be one of only a few such sanctuaries in the world for the marine mammals.
"Most of them have never learned survival skills, so they cannot be released into the open ocean," Vinick said in a statement. "But a seaside sanctuary will give them a chance to thrive in a stimulating natural ecosystem."
He said the community discussions will provide an explanation as to what a sanctuary would look like and will address concerns about potential environmental and fisheries impacts.
The first meeting is being held Thursday in Dartmouth.
"We realize that people have questions and concerns about such a novel project," Vinick said. "We share these concerns and we want to work with everyone to figure out whether a sanctuary is a good fit for your community."
Nova Scotia's southwest coast was shortlisted as a potential site after the group began looking at areas across North America two years ago to establish a large seaside enclosure.
The list of potential sites was then narrowed to Nova Scotia and Washington state, with a couple sites in British Columbia as backup options.
According to the Change For Animals Foundation, there are at least 2,300 cetaceans in captivity worldwide, including about 2,000 dolphins, 200 beluga whales and 53 orcas, which are otherwise known as killer whales.
But those numbers are expected to drop in the years ahead, particularly in North America.
The Vancouver Aquarium has said it would no longer keep whales and dolphins in captivity, saying the heated public debate over the issue was getting in the way of its conservation work.
Shall we say: "on one condition: that the aquariums that the cetaceans come from don't just turn around and replace them with another captive animal!!"?

What do you wish the most for your kids? Is it a life of happiness in which they enjoy each moment by considering their life as an adventure? Or is it a life where they can live their life bravely by thinking creatively in their daily life? Whatever be the dreams we have for our kids, imagination and creativity in children do play an essential role in realizing these dreams.
The increasing peer pressure forces the parents to buy their children the latest and slickest versions of PlayStations, Wiis and other gadgets. Of course, it is necessary that children have some idle fun too. However, the problem arises when these idle fun activities consume all their fun or playtime.
Buy a bunch of crayons and a picture book and teach your child how to hold a crayon and color part of a picture and how she can use other crayons to color other parts. Once she gets used to it by herself and while she is busy doing it, you can go around with other chores in your home.
Don't keep pointing your finger at your child. Rather sit with her cozily, dip her fingers in paint and make her stamp on paper. After doing this a couple of times, let your child do it by herself and have fun all along.
Cuddle with your child and some clay and build several stuff like cup, saucer, doll, airplane etc. out of clay. Your child will thoroughly enjoy molding these shapes out of clay. Give her more ideas by asking her to make several other objects and see how she goes about. All along help her.
Your child will be immensely intrigued when you make stuff like a purse, goldfish, crane, boat, basket, etc. out of plain paper. Teach her the easy ones for the time being and she will enjoy thoroughly.
Give your child all the time it takes to make a kite. While you get creative, your child picks up some cues. Once it is ready, go outside to the lawn and help her fly the kite in the wind and gradually higher up in the air.
Let her play with the balloons as long as she likes and finally teach her to let go of them and let her watch how they get caught up in the air and fly higher and higher up in the sky. A beautiful feeling will instill in her.
When she is older, give her paint and paint brushes and teach her to paint landscape sceneries. After she is done with them, hang them on the walls of the living room so that your daughter can show proudly her creative paintings to visitors.
Developing childrens' creativity as being very important. With a multitude of options available to occupy our children these days, developing child creativity seems to be relegated to some far off corner. Ever struggled and wondered how to make life more fun and creative for your child? Above are ways to go.

set up $.connection.hub.url = 'http://localhost:16901/signalr';, pointing to your subdomain

allow cross-domain requests on server side, by adding the following header description:

<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="http://localhost:16881" />

inside system.WebServer/httpProtocol/customHeaders section in Web.config file.

I also have the HubConfiguration set up for my route mapping in global.asax for SignalR 1.0.1
            RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs(new HubConfiguration()
            {
                EnableCrossDomain = true
            });

Everything looks fine in IE10 and FF22. However in Chrome, it gives me an erorr when SignalR trying to do the handshake.
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:16901/signalr/negotiate?_=1363560032589. Origin http://localhost:16881 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

I know I can get it works with Chrome by launching it with --disable-web-security, but it doesn't really fit my requirement. Please help!

A: Here's what you need to do:

*

*Remove jQuery.support.cors = true

*Remove <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="http://localhost:16881" />
Then it should work fine.

A: You don't need to use

jQuery.support.cors = true;

Instead you can enable CORS support on your Startup class on Configuration method. Here is some of the example:
        // Branch the pipeline here for requests that start with "/signalr"
        app.Map("/signalr", map =>
        {
            // Setup the CORS middleware to run before SignalR.
            // By default this will allow all origins. You can
            // configure the set of origins and/or http verbs by
            // providing a cors options with a different policy.
            map.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);
            var hubConfiguration = new HubConfiguration
            {
                // You can enable JSONP by uncommenting line below.
                // JSONP requests are insecure but some older browsers (and some
                // versions of IE) require JSONP to work cross domain
                // EnableJSONP = true
            };
            // Run the SignalR pipeline. We're not using MapSignalR
            // since this branch already runs under the "/signalr"
            // path.
            map.RunSignalR(hubConfiguration);
        });

Kawasaki, Japan — Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Toshiba ESS) today announced that it has developed a device that investigates the status of deposits at the bottom of the pedestal area interior of the primary containment vessel (PCV) of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2.
A February 2017 investigation by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (TEPCO) using a small robots, etc, developed by Toshiba ESS and the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning (IRID) found that part of the grating of the platform inside the PCV had been dropped. Toshiba ESS and IRID developed a suspended pan-tilt camera attached to a telescopic guiding pipe, and a subsequent investigation held in January 2018 showed that there were deposits at the bottom of the PCV.
Using know-how cultivated through previous investigations at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Toshiba ESS added a finger drive mechanism for touching the deposits to investigate their condition to the telescopic guiding pipe developed in last January.
The device is scheduled to be shipped to Fukushima Prefecture today and deployed to the interior investigation of the PCV at Unit 2 in February after the installation.
For furthermore information about our efforts toward restoration of Fukushima site, please check here.

Slip-on sneakers are still a huge shoe trend for 2015, and I love it. I happen to have a some in black perforated leather, and they're much more versatile than sneakers with laces. They go so well with skirts and trousers and of course with jeans as well.
Leopard-print slip-ons are my favorite printed sneakers this season, specifically the Steve Madden Ecentric Leopard sneakers. My favorite way to wear my slip-ons is with a straight black leather skirt and a sweater or tee. These leopard-print sneakers look great with a black leather skirt and a printed top, like a striped long-sleeve tee.
A super easy way to style leopard-print sneakers is to pair them with black skinnies and and graphic tee. Finish off the look with a cool olive-colored satchel and a cord bracelet.
If you pair the leopard-print sneakers with skinnies, you can swap out the graphic tee for a button-down shirt and a black moto jacket. Pair the look with a casual cross body purse.
Of course, if they have leather, are they still sneakers?

I am in a situation where I have two types of json data.
First json(has multiple links(object)):
{"name":"Link 1","id":22,"url":"link1.json"}
Second json(has multiple person object):
{"name":"john","age":22,"class":"mca"}
The First json contains links that contains the second types of json data.
I would like to put the name of all the links in a Listbox and I have a second 'Listbox' that display data from the selected item in the first 'Listbox'.
My greatest challenge is that both json updates the first one will poll every 45 second and the second ¬Listbox¬ poll very 15 seconds.
I have created a function which initialise the data for both the Listbox's asynchronously, successfully. But now I would like to update both 'Listbox' independently, without blocking on the UI thread. I have true calling two polls but I have set a break point and I realise the code is not getting to the second poll. I understand why but I am not sure how to get around this issue.

A: Well, you await your tasks. Which means you wait for them to finish. And you don't want to wait for them to finish because they never do, so don't wait for them. Remove the await keyword in front of those tasks you don't want to wait for.
You may or may not want to have the resulting tasks as variables and you can do so by assigning the result of the method to a Task.
Your current problem will be fixed by removing the await keyword from those lines that you don't want to wait for. Other problems will follow, as is common with multithreading in UI.

As cuts to grant funding threaten programs, the Children's Advocacy Center of the South Plains has become aggressive about fundraising.
Grants make up about 80 percent of the budget for the center, which serves 15 counties on the South Plains. With cuts on the horizon, the center has searched for other ways to finance services.
The agency has doubled the money donated through fundraisers so far this year. That's good news for CAC, which conducts forensic interviews and offers free therapy for nearly 800 child abuse victims each year in the region.
"It's our desire to be more diverse in our funding," said Andy Hartman, vice president of the center's board.
The center has raised about $38,700 during its first three events of the year, with one more to go. Last year at this time, it had only gotten about $19,700.
Center officials have worked harder to get more community donations and make more of four annual fundraisers.
For example, the first event of 2011 — a Super Bowl party — earned the nonprofit about $12,000. Last year, the agency raised $3,800 during the event. A higher turnout and corporate sponsorships increased funds.
Part of the center's strategy to get more from existing events included changing venues, increasing partnerships and sponsorships with corporations and trying to increase awareness of the events, Hartman said.
The center has become creative at fundraising in other ways.
The Lubbock County Criminal District Attorney's Office last year instituted a program requiring all of those who took a plea deal to donate to a local nonprofit, said Carmen Aguirre, the center's executive director.
And Lubbock County jurors have the option of donating their jury pay to a local nonprofit.
The two programs brought in about $11,000 last year for the advocacy center.
Aguirre hopes similar programs can be initiated in the other 14 counties the center serves in West Texas.
"We need every penny," Hartman said.

Legendary Sportscaster Al Michaels Arrested and Charged with Suspicion of DUI in Southern California
Do you believe in Miracles DUI, YES!
Emmy award winning legendary sports broadcaster, NBC Sunday Night Football play-by-play announcer Al Michaels and the individual most known for his 1980 Winter Olympics USA hockey team Miracle on Ice call … "Do you believe in miracles" was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI in Southern California on Friday night. The 68 year old Michaels was charged with misdemeanor DUI and spent approximately five hours in the Santa Monica City Jail. He was released early Saturday morning on his own recognizance. Michael's is scheduled to appear at Los Angeles Municipal Court at 8:30 a.m. on June 26.
Sgt. Ryan Gradle said Michaels, the current play-by-play announcer for NBC's "Sunday Night Football," was extremely cooperative and was released on his own recognizance Saturday morning.
Michaels was arrested shortly before 10 p.m., then spent a little more than five hours in the Santa Monica City Jail, the Los Angeles Inmate Information Center said.
According to CBS Sports, Michaels was evaluated for suspicion of DUI, brought to the station for a Breathalyzer test, and it came out .08, which was at the legal limit. Hmm, so how are they going to get this to stick? It would appear that 4 to 5 hours transpired between the time of the arrest and the time in which the Breathalyzer test took place.
Sorry, the VIDEO below has nothing to do with Al Michaels' DUI, but any time I can show or reference 'Miracle on Ice,' the greatest US sporting moment in history and the greatest upset of all time, I take the opportunity to do so.

A misdemeanor!! Five hours in jail!! Think about the potential of a carnage that could result from a drunk behind the wheel of a vehicle.
A misdemeanor!! Five hours in jail!! Where is the deterrence?
josh darius on April 21st, 2013 10:28 pm
How many people has this man killed over the years…if you think this is the first time he EVER drove drunk your beyond drunk…this slime has probably killed more people than the boston bombers which everyone was so scared of, they should check every unsolved HIT and RUN with where this thing was at the time!
SM: Although I don't condone drunk driving. Just because one does, hardly means they have killed someone. That's a bit of a stretch. Generally speaking, when you are of this kind of celeb, one normally has a driver.

Volkswagen to replace CEO with VW brand chief: sources
BERLIN/HAMBURG (Reuters) – Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) wants to replace Chief Executive Matthias Mueller with the head of its core VW brand, Herbert Diess, as it looks to give fresh impetus to its recovery from an emissions scandal, two people familiar with the matter said.
FILE PHOTO: Herbert Diess from the Volkswagen Group presents the new I.D. Vizzion car model during an event at the 88th International Motor Show at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland, March 5, 2018. REUTERS/Denis Balibouse
The German carmaker said on Tuesday it was considering a change in leadership as part of a broader management overhaul, but gave no further details. The 64-year-old Mueller's contract is due to run until 2020.
His departure will test the ability of Volkswagen's stakeholders, which include the Porsche and Piech families, the German state of Lower Saxony, and the company's powerful labor representatives, to unite behind a new boss.
Mueller, a company veteran, was installed at short notice in 2015, a week after the company admitted to cheating U.S. diesel emission tests, prompting criticism from some investors who said that only an outsider could rebuild trust in the business.
He launched an ambitious reform plan, including investing billions of euros in electric vehicles, but has struggled to push through reforms aimed at creating a more efficient and focused company. Amid opposition from labor leaders, Mueller failed to sell motorbike maker Ducati last year.
It is unclear how soon Diess, a former BMW (BMWG.DE) executive who joined VW in July 2015 and has clashed with the company's labor leaders, would replace Mueller.
Diess, 59, has been restructuring the VW brand to bring its cost structure and efficiency closer to that of rival Toyota (7203.T). Previous executives including Bernd Pischetsrieder and Wolfgang Bernhard struggled to push through such reforms.
German newspaper Handelsblatt first reported that Diess would replace Mueller. Other potential CEO candidates include Volkswagen's trucks chief and Daimler veteran Andreas Renschler.

Shares in Volkswagen, which also owns the Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Skoda, Audi (NSUG.DE) and Porsche brands, jumped on the news, and were up 4.3 percent at 171.24 euros at 1520 GMT.
"Volkswagen is considering a further development of the management structure of the group which would also be associated with personnel changes in the board of management," the company said in a short statement.
Two people close to the carmaker said its supervisory board was due to meet on Friday, and would also discuss a possible stock market listing for the company's truck and bus division – another move aimed at creating a more focused business.
'BETTER ALTERNATIVE'
Mueller's likely departure comes two days after Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), another pillar of corporate Germany, dismissed its chief executive, John Cryan, in pursuit of a more rapid turnaround following years of losses.
"If Diess is confirmed as the successor, VW shares will extend their gains," Evercore ISI analyst Arndt Ellinghorst said, who has an "outperform" rating on the stock.
"We see no better alternative to Matthias Mueller to make the company fit for the future."
Despite facing billions in fines, vehicle refits and lawsuits relating to its "dieselgate" scandal, Volkswagen's operating results have been robust, with sales and profit hitting record highs last year.
But the persistent tug of war between its controlling families, unions and other stakeholders have made it difficult to drive through structural changes that investors have said are key to the company fulfilling its potential.
Volkswagen said on Tuesday that Mueller had expressed his general willingness to participate in a management overhaul, and it was still to be determined whether efforts to develop a new leadership structure would leave him in place.
Chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch is currently in talks about changing the structure with fellow supervisory board members and members of the management board, Volkswagen said.
The debate about Volkswagen's future structure comes a month after its largest shareholder, Porsche Automobil Holding (PSHG_p.DE), picked three new representatives of the Porsche and Piech families to help oversee Volkswagen.
Two months ago, sources close to Volkswagen management told Reuters that Mueller was growing frustrated with a lack of support for his reform efforts and by the company's inability to draw a line under its emissions scandal.
Volkswagen declined to comment on whether the board was poised to name Diess as new CEO. The works council, whose members occupy half the seats on the supervisory board, also declined comment.

Authorities warn of people falsely claiming to be with US Marshals
By MetroNews Staff in News | June 27, 2019 at 11:58PM
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Federal authorities in northern West Virginia are warning residents about a phone scam in which people present themselves as being part of the U.S. Marshals Service's Northern District of West Virginia office.
The scam, according to U.S. Marshals, involves people pretending to be associated with the office in order to trick people into sending money. The callers say the person answering the phone failed to report for jury duty or another offense, and they can avoid arrest by purchasing a prepaid debit card or gift card and reading the card number over the phone.
Chief Alex Neville said people who receive these calls should call the FBI and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
"Our office is receiving multiple calls from local residents asking us why the Marshals are seeking money from them," he said in a statement. "We want people to know these calls are scams."
Anyone who calls can remain anonymous in their report.

Get a taste of Derby
Derby has become a delicious destination: somewhere fresh to visit for a day out, an overnight stay, or a weekend break – while grazing on some fantastic food.
Something like £2.2-billion has been ploughed into the transformation of the city, which has given the place a genuine buzz. Hipsters here brush shoulders with shoppers, along the nation's "2016 High Street of the Year".
And pubs, clubs, boutique hotels, and a multi-million pound Arts Centre, Derby QUAD, have all popped-up in recent times in a city which already boasted a couple of excellent theatres, and the largest collection of Joseph Wright paintings in the world.
At the same time, several bright-eyed and bushy-tailed restaurateurs, bar owners, gin joints and café owners have now been inspired to turn their gastronomic visions and food-and-drink philosophies into reality right here – in Derby.
The Pyclet Parlour is as good a reason as any for being tempted into the city's colourful Indoor Market. The Parlour has not only resurrected and reinvented one of Derbyshire's greatest food traditions, but has also introduced a little bit of food theatre in the traditional market.
Flat crumpets, made with milk from a local dairy, and baked on griddles, the pyclets can be bought to take home, or else garnished on the spot with the most mouthwatering choice of toppings: smoked salmon and horseradish cream; stilton, honey and walnuts; and goats cheese, Chorizo and sweet red peppers.
Elsewhere, The Exeter Arms is one of the highlights of a world-renowned Real Ale Trail described by Lonely Planet magazine as one of the world's top experiences. Owned by former AntiPasti punk rock band member Martin Roper, it offers its guests (amongst other mouth-watering choices) a full "British Tapas Board" alongside its carefully kept rack of real ales.
Call it retro. Call it what you like – but when it's all set against the traditional backdrop of an authentic Victorian pub, and prepared by someone as passionate as Martin, then it also deserves to be called "special".
Less than 5 minutes walk away, in the Cathedral Quarter, another slumbering giant is being brought back to life. Having shut up shop several years ago, The Old Bell in Sadler Gate has now come under the control of Paul Hurst, who is breathing new life into one of the most historic properties in the city. The latest fine dining experience on offer here are the steak rooms which combine to make-up The Belfry steakhouse.
A former coaching inn, it's also globally renowned for having one of the most haunted rooms anywhere on the planet. Like the rest of this Grade II listed property, the attic is currently being renovated, and – once that is ready – will be ready to host guests who don't mind sharing their room with an odd spirit (or two!).
And if takeaway is your thing, Himalayan Gurkha has recently been named in the HungryHouse Top 10 list of the nation's Most Loved Top Takeaways for 2017.
Waiting in the wings to be added to these are The Post House Derby which has taken residence in the old Post Office and will open as funky indoor street food market this May, featuring eight independents under one roof; nearby White Peak Distillery in Ambergate which will launch its own brand of gin this May, and its own whisky in five year's time; and a Jacobean themed micro-pub called The Rebellion Ale House, marking the southernmost point Bonnie Price Charlie reached on his tour of England.

A one-bedroom unit at luxury condominium The Scotts Tower is on the market for $1.75 million ($2,713 psf). The 645 sq ft unit is on the ninth floor of the 31-storey condo and is being sold with an existing tenancy.
The unit has been rented out over the last two years for between In the three months the unit has been on the market, he has received enquiries from a mix of local and foreign potential buyers. Some of them are en bloc beneficiaries, he says. $3,500 and $4,200 monthly, says Xu Jia Wei, associate marketing consultant at Huttons Asia, who is handling the sale. It is leased to an expatriate until March 2019.
Most of the tenants at The Scotts Tower are foreigners, who find the development's central location appealing, says Xu. They also like its proximity to the Orchard Road shopping belt. In February, another one-bedroom unit was leased for $4,263 a month, while a two-bedder was leased for $5,200.
The unit on sale is owned by a Singaporean, who bought it for $2.23 million ($3,450 psf) in January 2012, following The Scotts Tower's launch at end-2011. The owner has decided to sell the unit to finance his purchase of a bigger house and another property investment, says Xu.
In the three months the unit has been on the market, he has received enquiries from a mix of local and foreign potential buyers. Some of them are en bloc beneficiaries, he says.
The Scotts Tower is located close to the Cairnhill area in prime District 9. It was completed in 2016 and has a 103-year tenure starting from 2010. According to caveats lodged, there have not been any resale transactions at The Scotts Tower so far. The 231-unit condo comprises a mix of one- to four-bedroom units of 624 to 2,357 sq ft and is about 60% sold.

Why '8000 People' Fighting For '1200 Square Yards' Plot In Hyderabad?
For the last 32 days, sexagenarian K Venkatramulu has been sitting under a tent in the scorching hot sun to protest against the acquisition of what he calls is community land by the government. He is joined by other residents, mostly women and elderly, of Nanakramguda area in Financial District of Hyderabad.
Their bone of contention is a miniscule open piece of land measuring about 1,200 square yards, survey number 115, that is surrounded by high-rises housing offices and shimmering with glass and steel. The one adjacent to the land is the WaveRock IT Park. From above, the patch of land looks like an island amid a concrete jungle.
A women's cooperative society in Nanakramguda claims the land belongs to them. However, last month, the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Cooperation(TSIIC) gave the same piece of land to Telangana State Road Transport Corporation(TSRTC) to develop a shelter for buses that have their last stops at WaveRock.

"Nanakramguda does not have any government buildings or open spaces for the locals. This is our only open space. Those from poor families conduct their weddings or family functions here as we do not have any community halls built by GHMC. How can government be so heartless and snatch even such a small bit of land from us?" asks K Venkatramulu.
Residents of Nanakramguda — whose village lands have been taken over by industrialists and real estate developers over the years as the IT boom began to engulf the city — are not new to battles to save what they claim is theirs. This time though, they feel it's a last ditch effort to save what they claim is the last patch of land that belongs to their community.

At one corner of the disputed land is a two-roomed building named Indira Gandhi Mahila Mandali Bhavanam. One room is used to run tailoring classes for local women and the other functions as an anganwadi for children in the area. They claim the land was gifted to them decades ago, during the rein of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
A foundation stone laid in 2012 says `8.3 lakh was granted by government for the construction of the two-room building. Former ministers S Jaipal Reddy, Sabitha Indra Reddy and D Sridhar Babu were present for the ceremony. "We have given several representations to several authorities to save our land but there has been no response," says Congress leader from Serlingampally Ravi Goud. Annapurna Bai, a member of the mahila mandal says, "All the lands in Nanakramguda have been given away to IT companies. Do we not have rights over even such small piece of land for the sake of our community."

TSIIC zonal manager C Vinod Kumar dismisses the claim. "The locals first constructed a religious structure near the open land. Now they are trying to encroach the space besides it," he says. "The land belongs to TSIIC. We gave permission to TSRTC to utilise the space for the benefit of bus commuters."
Now, Nanakramguda residents are greeted by a board installed in 'their land' that reads: 'ZM/CYB.TSRTC.2018/2952', survey number 115, has been given to TSRTC for constructing a bus station. Trespassers will be prosecuted." #KhabarLive

To say we don't deserve to be on a list with many of these breweries is an understatement. That said, we're proud to have been included on this list of amazeballs breweries from Food & Wine that aren't exactly on the beaten path.
NEW BEERS / Best of Voting!
CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR VOTE ON!
It's that time of the year when VolumeOne opens their reader polls up for voting. Last year we took home the top award for BEST LOCAL BREWERY which stole the crown from a mega brewer's subsidiary brewery located up in Chippewa. Let's keep that crown and also vote one of our beers for your favorite local beer!
The next round of our single Hopped DMT series is... GALAXY! A super tropical hop from down under. Get it in cans while you can. In cans.
Our first stab at a milk shake IPA brewed with Lactose for a nice smooth body with residual sweetness and hopped with CITRA and MOSAIC!
Our super duper single dry hopped Hazy Pale Ale features a boatload of Citra and at a lower gravity you'll be able to crush these suckers all day long. Stay tuned for HUSTLE!
As you may have seen, a small group of legislators have decided to take on the cause of modernizing the laws that govern Wisconsin's brewerys, wineries, and distilleries. PLEASE take a moment to reach out to your legislators and the governor and ask them to publicly support "Cheers Wisconsin"/LRB-3614.
Don't know who your legislators are?
I am contacting you today to ask for your support in modernizing Wisconsin Chapter 125. On Tuesday August 1st several state legislators introduced LRB-3614, which is the first step in a campaign called "Cheers Wisconsin". Please consider voicing public support and co-sponsoring this bill as well as subsequent bills in the "Cheers Wisconsin" campaign.
For too long special interests have worked to enact barriers to entry for Wisconsin's entrepreneurs in the name of an outdated three-tier system. While the three-tier system has it's roots in very legitimate concerns coming out of prohibition it, unfortunately, exists today as a means to limit competition in a market that is almost unrecognizable from it's original intent. The "Cheers Wisconsin" campaign marks the first time in Wisconsin's history that legislators, regardless of party affiliation, have introduced legislation that looks to modernize Chapter 125.
Wisconsin's small and independent brewers, distillers, and wineries are a great asset to our state's economy and are a driver of economic growth that is truly home grown. By supporting these family owned businesses we're fostering entrepreneurs and innovators who chose to open and grow their businesses in our great state. We need not continue to allow antiquated laws to stand in their way.
Again, I ask you to support Representative Tauchen's bill LRB-3614 and the "Cheers Wisconsin" campaign's efforts to modernize Wisconsin's Chapter 125 through your public support and co-sponsoring of this bill and future bills. I would also ask that you please respond to my request so I know where you stand on this important issue.
Thank you for your time and service to our great state.
So, we're heard you. You didn't like the website. So we're going to work on this bad mamajamma and do our damnedest to keep it updated so you know what the heck is going on.
