What do you do when you pick up a new lifestyle habit and your loved one(s) aren't on board?
It's a question that comes up SO often! Whether you are trying to eat healthier, expand your spiritual horizon, or explore the power of yoga, getting your loved ones on board can feel like an impossible task.
What if I told you your loved ones don't have to be on board with what you are doing?
It's true. If you feel a deep sense of commitment to your new habit, it is possible to carry on with or without the active support of your loved ones. Of course, in a perfect world all of our loved ones would be just as happy and excited as we are to explore these new horizons with us.
Well, keep holding that vision…and in the meantime, take a moment to explore the 3 types of relationship that can serve as a guidepost for navigating through the world of change while keeping your relationships healthy and supportive.
Not in a relationship? Now is the perfect time to get clear on the 3 types of relationship so you can make sure to build your next relationship on a solid foundation.
In this best case scenario, both people are mutually supportive of each other's lifestyle, beliefs, and goals. This doesn't mean both people must agree with each other on everything, but does imply that both people are living similar lifestyles and have a foundation of commonality to work from.
What it also means is that each person holds the other's growth and happiness as a priority. Each person truly wants the best for the other. The bottom line is at the end of the day, minor arguments aside, you are both on the same page regarding major lifestyle choices.
This is a dynamic that is very common in relationships where one person has an awakening of some sort and makes a conscious decision to change some aspect of their lifestyle (diet, beliefs, exercise routine, etc.), yet the other person in the relationship does not share in their experience and has no desire to make any kind of change.
While ideally it may be best to have both people on the same page, both desiring to change at the same time, life is not always that convenient. Often times one person desires to invest in their personal growth years after being together or even after marriage.
Let go of judgement that your way is better than their way.
That said, a Neutral & Respectful relationship CAN work if both people are willing to hold space for each other to live out their full expression, even if they don't agree with it.
This kind of relationship requires a deep level of love and respect for each other, understanding that what may be best for you might not be best for them (and vice versa).
It requires letting go of judgement or any beliefs that your way is better than their way. If both people can hold this space, then a Neutral & Respectful relationship can be long-lasting and deeply meaningful.
In this third expression, couples are not only lacking alignment on major lifestyle choices (such as spirituality, diet, childrearing, etc.), but they are also in active opposition to their partner's lifestyle choices. This means one person not only disagrees with the other's choices, but they go out of their way to undermine the other's desire to change and grow.
Undermining can be overt or subtle. One way to tell whether you are in a Restrictive & Undermining relationship is to get clear on how you feel in your body when you are in a situation or discussion on the topic of disagreement.
Do you feel expansion in your body? Like anything is possible? Or do you feel contraction? Limitation? A sense of feeling "trapped" or "stuck"? If the latter is true, then take some time to meditate on whether this feeling of contraction is self-imposed or if it is a bi-product of the relationship you are in.
In the long run, Restrictive and Undermining relationships are not healthy because they limit each other's spiritual growth. This is why it's important to recognize where your relationship is at and explore together whether there is space to evolve it.
Each person on this planet has a unique expression. Even within intimate relationships. Your loved one(s) have a different expression, a different mission, and a different purpose than you do. It's important to honor this uniqueness in each other by holding space for each other to grow and evolve—even if it's in different ways than you might feel is best.
At the end of the day, ask yourself if you are feeling connected to Spirit through your actions and lifestyle choices. If you are feeling alive and inspired, you know you are on the right track. If you aren't, then be courageous enough to make a change.
You are responsible for your own growth. You can be an inspiration and change catalyst for others, but each person must cultivate their own desire for change within their own heart. Focus on deepening your own connection with Spirit. Others will be inspired by your connection, and from there…anything is possible.

Q: Issues with passing a variable to a macro I have a menu block that shows 4 links. I'd like to remove the last one if the user has a specific role.
The menu block is created in a specific twig file, and inside a macro, as follows:
{% import _self as menus %}

{#
  We call a macro which calls itself to render the full tree.
  @see http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/macro.html
#}
{{ menus.menu_links(items, attributes, 0) }}

{% set role = user.role %}

{% macro menu_links(items, attributes, menu_level, elements) %}

    {% import _self as menus %}

    {% if items %}

            {% for item in items %}

                {% set item_classes = [
                    'col-xs-12',
                    'col-sm-12',
                    items|length == 3 ? 'col-md-4' : 'col-md-3',
                    item.in_active_trail ? 'active' : 'notactive',
                ] %}

                    {{ link(item.title, item.url) }}

            {% endfor %}

        {{ attach_library('cnas/responsive-navigation') }}
    {% endif %}
{% endmacro %}

The major issue I have is that I can't interfere with the macro: I'd like to be able to make comparisons with the user variable, but when I dump it while being in the macro, user shows null.
I found a lot of stuff while looking for an answer, but I've seen everything and its opposite, so I'd like to know if I can do that, and how
Thank you a lot!

A: macro's in twig have their own scope. You will need to pass the variable user as an argument towards the macro in order to access it.
You could also pass the special variable _context to the macro.
This variables holds all the variables you passed towards the template.

How Square Works
By: Dave Roos
Criticisms of Square
Jack Dorsey, creator of Twitter and founder of Square, holds up the Square device as he speaks during the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in New York in 2010.
© Ramin Talaie/Corbis
Jack Dorsey, the founder and CEO of Square, is a self-proclaimed minimalist. Dorsey's first success story was Twitter, which he co-founded in 2006 [source: Delevett]. Part of Twitter's charm is its simple design and creative restraint — every post is capped at 140 characters or less. Square is marketed as a minimalist approach to running a retail business. Instead of buying an expensive point-of-sale system or dealing with bureaucratic credit card companies, just download a free app and go.
Unfortunately, some business owners have found that Square's "simple" sales pitch leaves out some important details about its merchant policies. One of the biggest complaints concerns a deposit limit of $2,002 a week on manual or "keyed-in" credit card transactions. Square charges more for keyed-in transactions because these carry a higher risk of fraud [source: Accertify]. That's the same reason Square puts a limit on how much money a merchant can deposit each week using the keyed-in method.
For a larger business that processes hundreds or thousands of transactions each week, it's easy to reach that $2,002 limit. According to complaints to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), many business owners were unaware of the policy, which holds all deposits in excess of $2,002 for 30 days [source: BBB]. In response, Square notes that all customers can request to raise their deposit limit [source: Square]. Requests are processed on a case-by-case basis.
One of the most widespread criticisms of Square is its poor customer service. Merchants with questions about rejected transactions, canceled accounts and held funds complain about the lack of a phone number staffed by actual human beings. Instead, Square encourages customers to search its ample online help resources (FAQs, video tutorials, how-tos), send an e-mail or visit its support account on Twitter. Although Square insists that it responds to all e-mails within 24 hours, frustrated merchants complain of unanswered e-mails and costly unresolved conflicts [source: Parker].
Square's competitors in the mobile payment industry see customer service as a way to topple the upstart company. PayPal, for example, employs 6,000 people in its customer service department. The entire staff of Square, headquartered in San Francisco, totals fewer than 500 people [source: Kim].

Author's Note: How Square Works
I can easily envision a day when my grandchildren will ask me what money looked like. Even today I feel a little strange using actual cash (or coins, for heaven's sake) to make a purchase. Why are we still passing around these wrinkled pieces of paper when the entire financial system is electronic? It's not as if your bank has a stack of cash waiting in a vault with your name on it. Money is transferred in and out of your bank account as a string of ones and zeros. Why should our transactions at the mall be any different? Cash equals hassle. You have to go to an ATM to get it. A store has to count it, stash it in an envelope and lug it down to the bank to deposit it. And don't even get me started on checks! Obviously there are obstacles to a cashless economy. What about people who don't have bank accounts or credit cards? What about fraud, identity theft and other security concerns? Still, I believe that I'll see the death of cash in my lifetime. I'll bet you a two-dollar bill.

'Halt and Catch Fire' Episode 3: What could possibly go wrong at Mutiny?
Tension is mounting.
Image: AMC
By AJ Marechal 2015-06-15 05:24:56 UTC
LOS ANGELES — A company run out of a suburban home; a legion of scatter-brained, pizza-grubbing employees; a rogue yet prodigious new hire; two inexperienced leaders; a ravenous and growing user base ...
What could possibly go wrong at Mutiny?
SEE ALSO: 'Halt and Catch Fire' Episode 2: Mutiny in a man's world
Well, everything, as we come to witness in "The Way In," Halt and Catch Fire's third episode of its second season. The episode opens with Gordon on a total coding bender, determined to craft a software that can tell Mutiny how many users it really has online — with so many hackers quietly "gobbling up" Mutiny's bandwidth and playing games on other users' connections, Gordon wants to determine the actual size of Mutiny's network, which will in turn greatly influence's its market value.
Tension is mounting at Parallax.
Over at Mutiny headquarters, tension is mounting between Cameron and her new hire, Tom. During an idea pitch meeting, Tom completely shreds Parallax's latest chapter release (created by Cam), dubbing it an unimaginative rehash of previous chapters and a prime example of why Parallax should be canned for good. Despite this, Cameron remains in decent spirits at her operation, especially since Mutiny is picking up at least 50 new users a week (and Donna is still on her mission to launch online chatting!).
Since bailing on his Mutiny job offer, Bosworth continues to try to get back on his feet after being released from prison. He gets back his muscle car — which perks up his confidence — but is still holed up in a motel, and though his wife is sleeping with him, she bars him from coming to his own son's wedding. Life continued on without Bosworth while he was locked up, and now, it seems, there's no room for him in his own family. He is heartbroken, lonely, and directionless.
At least the car is making Bosworth happy.
Joe, meanwhile, can't stop himself from being Joe at his new data entry job. Forever forward-thinking, Joe eagerly discusses ways to capitalize on the oil company's data, only to be told by his manager that what he's discussing is data processing... his job? Data entry. Stick with the gig you've got, Joe. The suffocation is palpable.
On the brighter side, Joe's relationship with Sara is going steady. But when he invites Gordon and Donna over to their surprisingly-humble abode, Sara is not amused by what she sees: Gordon and Joe have found themselves on civil, even friendly terms, and Gordon brings out Old Joe — whip-smart businessman who's not afraid to manipulate his way to the top. Sara calls Joe out on his weird attitude shift, and Joe catches himself — but as the episode progresses, it's clear he cannot suppress such a fundamental side of his own nature.
Hey look, it's Old Joe!
Tired of working for a lackluster boss, Joe executes a classic Macmillan power play in front of his manager, phoning Jacob Wheeler — company owner and Sara's father — in the middle of his office to set up a meeting ... and emphasize his connections within the corporation. Jacob meets with Joe and, before Joe can even get deep into his pitch on data use, Jacob gives his future son-in-law hiring and firing power within the data department and tells him to overhaul it to his liking. Just like that, Joe steps into a position of power at a company where he's still the new kid — it's potentially Cardiff all over again.
Bosworth does make it to his son's wedding rehearsal dinner — or, to the parking lot, at least. Bosworth doesn't go inside, but his son does eventually come out and sit in his dad's muscle car. Bosworth reads his son the rehearsal dinner speech he would have given had he been invited inside — and later leaves his son his cherished ride, a wedding gift of sorts. Bosworth, in turn, hops a Greyhound bus, headed to a mysterious location, still in search of substance after having his old life stripped away.
While Gordon and Donna dine with Joe and Sara, the apocalypse strikes Mutiny — some sort of program has infiltrated the system and is attacking the Mutiny software and the users. Worse yet, the meltdown is happening fast — too fast. Cam and Tom scramble to try to salvage Mutiny, and when Donna and Gordon arrive to help, we learn that the software responsible for the meltdown is none other than Gordon's network mapping program that he installed with little more than a shrug.
Mutiny on the bounty.
Cameron loses it, lashing out at Gordon and calling him a sell out. Gordon spits back that were it not for Donna quietly pumping money into Mutiny, the whole company would have folded awhile ago — which is unwelcome news for Cameron. Cam feels betrayed two-fold by Donna: not only was her business partner at dinner with her ex, but she was also funneling her own cash into the organization without ever telling Cameron.
The bitterness between the two women reaches new heights, but for that evening at least, they have to band together with the other coders and try to rescue their system. The next morning, Cameron has a full-blown panic attack when she sees zero users on the network — all of her hard work has come crumbling down. In the midst of her breakdown, Tom is able to talk Cameron back into a calmer state by walking her through old Parallax chapter strategies.
As Cameron's breathing regulates, Tom admits that the early chapters of Parallax were works of art to him. The two share a moment of mutual respect, and if Tom's implications mean anything, this Mutiny meltdown could mean a clean slate on which the coders can build something better and new.
Joe prepares to fire his own boss, asking him to step into the main frame room with him at the beginning of a new work day. But the sound of computers clicking and humming on at 9 a.m. distract him. A lightbulb illuminates in Joe's head, and he furiously flips through the computer system's manual, discovering that it's a Cardiff Electric product. Joe realizes that the computers at the oil company only run from 9 to 5 — "millions of dollars" of machinery, per Joe, that goes unused for 16 hours a day.
Instead of firing his own boss, Joe absorbs this revelation. He remains in a subordinate position when addressed by his manager — but this time with a smirk, a plan brewing within. It appears that no new relationship or job opportunity could have stopped it from happening... Old Joe is back, and ready to scheme.

United States and Canada Implement Preclearance Agreement
U.S. Department of Homeland Security sent this bulletin at 08/16/2019 05:28 PM EDT
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced today, in partnership with the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, the implementation of an agreement to improve mutual security and expedite lawful travel through preclearance for travelers and their accompanying baggage on certain transports. The collaboration is articulated in the Agreement on Land, Rail, Marine, and Air (LRMA) Transport Preclearance between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Canada, which supersedes the previous 2001 U.S.-Canada Agreement on Air Transport Preclearance, and expands upon the two countries' partnership.
Preclearance is the process by which officers stationed abroad inspect and make admissibility decisions about travelers and their accompanying baggage before they leave a foreign port, simultaneously increasing efficiency and security. The LRMA provides the legal framework and reciprocal authorities necessary for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Canada Border Services Agency to carry out security, facilitation, and inspection processes in the other country.
"Preclearance strengthens economic competitiveness and mutual security, and benefits travelers by expediting their clearance into the U.S. before they ever leave Canada," said Acting Secretary Kevin K. McAleenan. "This agreement provides the opportunity for CBP to build on six decades of successful operations and, for the first time, to conduct full preclearance in the rail, ferry, and cruise ship environments. This achievement is important for the Department's security objectives and is another example of just how close the U.S. – Canada relationship stands."
CBP currently conducts preclearance operations at eight Canadian airports: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. CBP officers also conduct immigration pre-inspection at multiple locations in British Columbia in the rail and marine modes; these locations will have the opportunity to convert to full preclearance, per the terms of the Agreement.
"The new Canada–U.S. Preclearance Agreement is now in force, creating new opportunities in all modes of transportation in both Canada and the United States," said the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. "Expanding preclearance makes travel faster and bolsters trade, while better protecting our rights."
As the Agreement is fully reciprocal, in addition to the potential expansion of CBP preclearance operations in Canada, the Agreement permits Canada to pursue preclearance operations in the United States. This agreement also enables exploration of co-location at small and remote ports of entry and includes additional tools and authorities to help enforce immigration, customs, and agriculture laws, facilitate lawful travel, and ensure officer protection and accountability.
The LRMA was signed by the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness on March 16, 2015, fulfilling a commitment of the Beyond the Border Action Plan (Beyond the Border Action Plan). The U.S. Congress passed the necessary supporting legislation in December 2016 and Canada's Parliament did so in December 2017. Canada published their required implementing regulations in June 2019, paving the way for entry into force following an exchange of Diplomatic Notes today.

А́ртпедаго́гика (арт-терапевтическая педагогика, эстетопедагогика, артпедагогический подход, арт-терапия) — отрасль педагогической науки, базирующаяся на слиянии педагогики и искусства, и изучающая закономерности воспитания и развития человека посредством искусства. Артпедагогика занимается разработкой теории и практики, обеспечивает разработку теории и практики процесса художественного развития людей, формирует основы культуры личности через искусство и художественно-творческую деятельность. Суть артпедагогики состоит в воспитании, обучении и развитии средствами искусства личностей; формировании у них основ художественной культуры и овладении практическими навыками в разных видах художественной деятельности.

Возникновение артпедагогики
Арт-терапия возникла ещё в древности, а такая её разновидность, как артпедагогика — в середине XX века. Жан-Жак Руссо одним из первых предположил, что нужно понаблюдать за игрой ребёнка, чтобы понять его. Однако игру как метод арт-терапии стали применять гораздо позже: в 1920 году. Наблюдая за играми детей, психоаналитики заметили, что в процессе игры ребёнок воспроизводит свои переживания и создает модель «решения» своих проблем.
В арт-педагогике активно используются живопись, фотографии, дидактические игры, музыка и танцы.

Цели и задачи артпедагогики расходятся с целями и задачами арт-терапии. Одна из основных целей арт-терапии — коррекция психоэмоционального состояния клиента, испытывающего трудности эмоционального развития в результате стресса, неудовлетворения семейными отношениями, переживания эмоционального отторжения другими людьми и др. факторов, что приводит детей к депрессии, эмоциональной неустойчивости, импульсивности эмоциональных реакций, чувству одиночества, межличностным конфликтам, низкой самооценке и тому подобным состояниям. Цель артпедагогики — активизация познавательной деятельности учащихся средствами искусства, развитие творческого воображения, эмоциональной памяти, гармонизация духовно-нравственного состояния внутреннего мира детей и их социализация, воспитание самоидентификации личности ребёнка в процессе приобщения к национальному и мировому искусству, развитие любви к ценностным смыслам искусства и культуры, их духовно-нравственным народным традициям, запечатлённым в произведениях отечественной живописи, скульптуре, музыке, литературе, театре, хореографии, песнопениях, в произведениях материальной культуры и других видах народного творчества.

Одно можно сказать с полной уверенностью: все функции культуры и искусства, о которых можно прочитать выше, оказывают терапевтический эффект на формирующуюся личность ребёнка. Тем не менее при этом важно учитывать тот факт, что каждый вид искусства влияет по-разному на каждого ребёнка, это зависит от его особенностей развития. Сегодня артпедагогика сосредоточена на изучении положительного влияния на детей различного возраста с различными отклонениями в развитии. На современном этапе развития арт-терапии всё внимание исследователей и педагогов-воспитателей сосредоточено на наблюдении за исцеляющим воздействием различных арт-терапевтических игр на детей различного возраста с различными отклонениями в развитии. В основном подобного рода наблюдения проводят над детьми дошкольного и младшего школьного возраста. Применяемая артпедагогика — это путь к восстановлению гармонии в эмоциональном мире ребёнка, это средство развития мышления и самооценки, то есть это помощь ребёнку войти бесконфликтно в мир взрослых, в мир родной природы и её отражения в родном искусстве, ощутить красоту и гармонию творческого постижения окружающей действительности..

Функции артпедагогики
 культурологическая (обусловлена объективной связью личности с культурой как системой ценностей, развитием человека как творца на основе усвоения художественной культуры);
 образовательная (направлена на развитие личности и познание ею действительности через искусство; обеспечивает усвоение знаний в сфере искусства и практических навыков художественно-творческой деятельности);
 воспитательная (формирует морально-эстетические, коммуникативно-рефлективные основы личности; содействует её социокультурной адаптации с помощью искусства);
 коррекционная (содействует профилактики, коррекции и компенсации недостатков развития)..

Задачи артпедагогики
Существует несколько задач артпедагогики:
 ясное понимание исследовательской проблемы, которую поставил перед собой (каковы тема и проблема исследования),
 чёткая постановка цели (что исследователь хочет получить в результате исследовательской деятельности),
 готовности исследователя к углублённой психолого-педагогической аналитической деятельности детей-дошкольников в условиях организованной экспериментатором личностно-деятельностной среды для детей средствами арт-педагогических упражнений и задач,
 классификация художественно-эстетических арт-педагогических упражнений и задач для детей с отклонениями в развитии,
 умение вести наблюдение за поведением детей в различных ситуациях арт-педагогических игр и фиксировать их воздействие на интеллектуальные, эмоциональные и волевые качества личности ребёнка,
 способность к обобщению полученных результатов на теоретическом и практическом уровне и так далее.
В основном решением данных задач занимаются преподаватели и студенты факультетов искусств и культуры, однако у них часто возникают трудности, так как для этого нужно быть компетентным в таких областях, как дидактика, психология искусства и так далее. Ещё одна сложность заключается в том, что нужно учитывать индивидуальные особенности развития каждого ребёнка: у одного могут быть проблемы с речью, у других — эмоциональная «зажатость», у третьих — отстранённость от коллектива, у некоторых — агрессивность поведения и так далее. Всё это обусловлено пережитыми ранее психологическими травмами или перенесёнными болезнями. Главная цель — получить доверие ребёнка, вовлечь его в коллективную коммуникативно-познавательную деятельность средствами искусства, учитывая их воздействие на каждого ребёнка.

The NDP surge: Thank Adam's generation
By Dave Brindle
Cousin Gordon and I – he, the country boy, and me, from the city – talked prior to his oldest son, Adam's, birthday this winter.
"Adam turns 18," Gordon said. "He'll be able to vote." His first thought wasn't that his son was now eligible for a draft, or of his son's plans to attend university, or that he could now look forward to his son moving out of the house. That Adam will be able to vote is all Gordon needed to say about his aspirations for his son.
Later, I said to Adam, an intelligent, talented, athletic, good-looking and well-liked teenager, "Eighteen, huh? You'll be able to vote."
"Yes!" He pumped his fist like he'd just scored the winning shot. In our family, the traditions of political roots grow deep in the rich, dark soil around Moosomin, Saskatchewan. It is in our genes, like the dirt worked into our jeans. Adam, and his younger brother, Greg, were taught by their father, who learned from my Uncle, who was raised by our pioneer grandfather whose father settled the prairie, that it is more important to defend democracy than your own end.
A few days ago, I posted:
Adam liked this. Now I'm not suggesting that my young cousin is casting his ballot for the NDP on May 2nd. It does seem he wants to rid the country of the Harper government, just as I do. Not that I would ever attempt to influence his or another's vote, but really: Harper? (I do, however, insist that he, and everyone in our family, be a Yankee fan.)
I do know that his father and mother have raised him to make good decisions (like any teenager, he sometimes takes a few swings and misses before hitting the right one), with the freedom to choose. Sure, Gordon would prefer his son to vote Liberal, but he'd readily admit that decision is out of his hands.
I also know – as a native of the province that gave rise to the party under the revered Tommy Douglas – that the NDP can govern, and govern well. And, unlike the other federal parties and their provincial counterparts, the NDP is Canada's one, true national party, born and raised in Saskatchewan.
Douglas's CCF was formed by common Canadians who believed the Liberals and Conservatives weren't ideologically equipped to relieve the real hardship that they suffered during the Great Depression. My dad, who road the rails during the Dirty '30s, was a "Douglas man." (If any of this is covering old ground then skip ahead.)
Under Douglas's leadership and, later, Woodrow Lloyd, the CCF governed for 20 years "and established Saskatchewan's reputation for innovation, balancing sound fiscal policy with enlightened social policy."
With the brilliant Alan Blakeney as leader, the party (now the NDP) was just as bold in governing the province for 11 years — investing in its "abundant natural resources, establishing a number of new Crown Corporations including Saskatchewan Potash and SaskOil to ensure that the people of the province benefited from high resource prices. Saskatchewan's NDP government was also instrumental in the repatriation of the Canadian constitution and the development in the Charter of Rights."
When Roy Romanow's NDP beat the Devine Conservatives in 1991 "the province was near bankruptcy and running a large deficit. Romanow's first challenge was to balance the budget and restore the province's fiscal health. Many tough choices were made as spending was cut and taxes were raised. By 1995 the budget was balanced and the government focused on many social justice issues, reaching agreement on Treaty Lands Entitlement, reforming the social welfare system, and introducing more progressive labour legislation."
The values and beliefs of the federal NDP are framed within Saskatchewan's neat borders and they inform anyone who calls the province home. Whether grudgingly or not, everyone from Saskatchewan has some socialism in their veins. Our numbers are vast and we are spread across this country. If you want proof, go to a Canadian Football League game when the Riders are the visiting team.
It is Canada's young voters who have given rise to the completely unexpected surge in the NDP's poll numbers. 100 seats?! As my friend at The Globe and Mail mentioned:
Is it? Think of it from Adam's point-of-view. I remember being 18 and a member of the Saskatchewan Young New Democrats. I shared a dilapidated old house with former Saskatchewan Justice Minister Frank Quennell. It was a flop-house within a few short
blocks of the legislature where young social democrats from all over the province and Canada found a piece of floor, a plate of my famous spaghetti, and argued politics and partied. The NDP, not the house, was then and remains the anti-establishment party. It speaks to common Canadians. And, if I were to hazard a guess, more of us are common folk than we like to admit.
Not so with young Canadians. They're fearless. They seem willing to take a risk that will shake this country out of its lethargy. To put it simply, for most Canadian young people, the NDP is not their parents' party. And Jack Layton is more like the cool teacher they would invite to a party than their dorky dad. Layton is fearless. What else do you call a leader who has been campaigning full-out after prostate and hip surgery and is willing to re-open the constitution?
The kids' world is the social network and their numbers are great. Why would it be any surprise that the majority of them are drawn to the social democrats? It's socialism, online or off, and it's clicking.
So Adam, take seriously this responsibility because your family fought for it. You come from a family that has always talked politics around the supper table and who has always voted. You come from a province that grows good things and great ideas. You're cutting your political teeth in one of the most pivotal elections in Canadian history. And Adam, remember to tell your son or daughter the story.

A report released yesterday by the Washington D.C. based Economic Policy Institute reports that the Minneapolis area has the largest racial disparity in unemployment of any metropolitan area in the country.
The report, called, Uneven pain—Unemployment by metropolitan area and race by Algeron Austin is also mentioned in a short article from the Minnesota Independent. The report reveals that the unemployment rate of blacks in 20.4 % in the Minneapolis areas compared to 6.6% for whites. That represents a ratio of 3 to 1 and a 13.8% difference.
This is clearly not good news, but does suggest that I was on the right track when I identified closing the racial disparities in poverty and employment by raising the income and employment levels of poor people in Minneapolis as one of my 2010 top 5 priorities.
1. Reduce the percentage of employed Minneapolis residents living in poverty from the 2008 baseline of 10.1% to 7% by 2014.
2. Reduce the percentage of Minneapolis minority residents living in poverty from the 2008 Census Bureau reported average of 36% to that of the 2008 metropolitan minority overage of 21% by 2014.
I am also hopeful because this spring the City's Employment and Training Program, in cooperation with Ramsey County Workforce Solutions, was been awarded $4 million by the Department of Labor for a Pathways Out of Poverty Grant, through the Renewable Energy Network Empowering Workers (RENEW) Project.
This project will help provide training and employment for 500 residents, while ensuring that area businesses have access to a well-trained workforce that is prepared to carry out the work of greening the local economy. RENEW is a collaboration between the City of Minneapolis Workforce Council, Ramsey County Workforce Investment Board, neighborhood-based non-profits, labor organizations, education and training institutions, and the green business community. I am very hopeful that this will not only build the economic capital of low-income residents, but also build the workforce capital of the region's large green business base.
Operational partners for the RENEW include: Guadalupe Alternative Program; MN Transitions Charter School; the Minneapolis North and South WorkForce Centers (DEED); Goodwill/Easter Seals; EMERGE Community Development; Resource, Inc.; HIRED; American Indian OIC; Minneapolis Urban League; Project for Pride in Living (PPL); Lifetrack Resources; Women Venture; Rebuild Resources; Summit Academy OIC; M&J Environmental; Minneapolis Community and Technical College; Dunwoody College of Technology; St. Paul College; Century College; St. Paul Adult Basic Education; Minneapolis Adult Basic Education; United Way; and Minneapolis & St. Paul Building Trades.
Racial disparities in employment and poverty is a persistent and serious problem, for some reason more serious in our area than in the rest of the country. It is going to take a large scale, long term and smart collaborative effort to find a solution.
As bad as this is, I think admitting it and measuring it will help us more than ignoring it.
This report and this kind of publicity shows we have been smart to at least try to focus on this issue in recent years.
Let's use this information to get ourselves to work harder and to leverage more resources to help solve the problem and close the gap.
Last year I initiated an effort to conduct a "diversity audit" of the City's many boards and commissions. I was thinking that it would be great if the diversity of our advisory groups reflects the diversity of our City. If it doesn't, we should at least have some measure of how and where the reflection is off. In order to set goals and guide outreach and recruitment efforts some understanding, or snap shot, of how things stands today could be very helpful.
While I wish we had had better participation (we got 194 of roughly 400 to complete the survey) I think this information is useful. I want to thank everyone who took the time to answer the questions and hope that this is something we can repeat every few years.
The results seem to confirm what many expected, our booards and commissions are mostly euro-american, middle-aged, middle and upper class, heterosexual homeowners who work and live in Minneapolis. Of course we found out a lot more than that and more of the details are below. Please check it our and share any surprises or concerns you find in the data.
It will be interesting to see how our snap shot matches up with the census data that is still being gathered.
Below is a graphics-free layout of the survey. A more complete and colorful version, with great charts and graphs, is posted here.
On July 17, 2009 the City Council approved a resolution to survey members of City of Minneapolis boards and commissions. The City has more than 50 boards and commissions that it supports. Of the more than 600 community volunteers over 400 of them are appointed by City of Minneapolis appointing authorities. For the purposes of this survey, the 400 + community members appointed by the City of Minneapolis were requested to complete the survey. We received a total of 194 responses. Appointments were being made during this time and at one given time any number of positions may be vacant so this is only considered a snapshot in time. What follows is a summary of the questions and responses.
1. Do you work in Minneapolis?
2. Do you own property in Minneapolis?
3. How long have you lived in your current housing?
4. Which category represents your age?
5. Not including yourself, what are the ages of the individuals who live in your household? Please indicate the number of individuals who fall into each applicable category.
6. Are you living with a disability? If you answer no, skip to question 8.
7. If you answer yes to question 6, into which of the following categories does your disability fall?
8. Are you of Hispanic origin?
10. How do you self-identify in terms of gender?
11. How do you self-identify in terms of sexual orientation?
12. What is your current marital or relationship status?
13. What was your total household income in 2008 before taxes?
14. On which board(s), commission(s), or committee(s) do you currently serve?
A number of boards or committees were listed for which the City of Minneapolis does not support or make appointments. Question #15 asked "How long have you represented the board(s) on which you serve?" The responses are listed below however some of these number represent length of service on boards that were not originally part of this survey.
15. How long have you represented the board(s) on which you serve?
16. In which Minneapolis Ward or other city do you live?
17. What is your employment status? Please check all that apply.
18. What is the highest level of education you have completed?
It might also be interesting to dig down even further into the civic diversity of our City. If the census yields us information about the make up of each of our neighborhoods, for example, I wonder how that would compare to the diversity of those who serve of our neighborhood association boards, those who receive grants and funding through public programs, or those who participate in our events and serve on other organizations.
Hopefully this audit will be a resource that others can use and that we can use in City Hall to help set goals, guide future outreach efforts and to measure our selves against down the road when we can take another snap shot of the make up of the volunteer advisers who do so much to help our City.


Fox World Travel shares an important update from the Federal Government regarding the REAL ID Act.
Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act enacted the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government "set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses." The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards. States have made considerable progress in meeting this key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission and every state has a more secure driver's license today than before the passage of the Act.Check the compliance status of your traveler's state of residence. States that were previously non-compliant must meet federal requirements to add extra security features to their driver's licenses by the deadline or receive an extension.
Current Update: DHS has granted an extension through dates in 2019 to those states that are currently non-compliant with REAL ID requirements. DHS recommends travelers regularly check the compliance status. If your employees reside in a state that is green, they can continue using their driver's licenses or state IDs through October 01, 2020.
If your employees reside in a state that is yellow with an approved extension, they should prepare now for an alternative approved ID (passport) to pass through TSA security checkpoints for domestic travel in the event their state does not become compliant or receive an approved extension.
October 01, 2020: The final DHS deadline is October 01, 2020, when every U.S. traveler will need a REAL ID compliant driver's license or alternative approved ID to fly domestically within the United States.
We encourage you to share this information with your travelers via your usual communication channels. Encourage them to check the compliance status often of their state or territory. If your employees reside in a state with an approved extension, they should prepare now for an alternative approved ID to travel domestically in the event their state does not receive an extension or become compliant.
For background and additional information about the REAL ID act, check out the Transportation Security Administration's FAQs about the REAL ID program.
Fox World Travel will continue to publish periodic updates around REAL ID status, enhancements, and changes as information becomes available.

Becoming a police officer demands agile dexterity, mammoth strength and big balls of steel, which is why it's no wonder so few of us ever achieve such an esteemed status. And besides us humans, the only other mammal allowed to patrol the streets is the domesticated canine, aka the dog. This fact has recently changed, however, thanks to Santisuk the monkey.
According to Thailand's Nation newspaper, Santisuk was adopted by Pol Col Yutthapol Phromdao Yutthapol, who, after discovering the injured monkey at a local clinic, recruited him into his squad, thereby turning the simple-minded primate into the first-ever monkey cop. Satisuk's tour of duty began at a local checkpoint, where Yutthapol taught him how to collect coconuts and other fruits from locals by enticing him with bottles of delectable Vitamilk. Soon afterward, Satisuk's duties grew from mundane tasks into full-fledged public relations.
For you see, the checkpoint, one of many installed by the Thai government in response to recent attacks by Islamic separatist insurgents, was angering motorists who sought only to reach their destination as quickly as possible. By introducing Satisuk to his checkpoint, Yutthapol inadvertently calmed tensions between local police and the public. The amusing diversion—the public could take pictures or play with the furry flatfoot, instead of sitting idly by and ranting/raving about the long wait—helped calm motorists, thereby serving as a public relations ploy, per se, although that certainly wasn't Yutthapol's original intent.
Satisuk hopefully is one of many future monkey cops to come, as the concept of improving public relations by putting a monkey police officer on the beat has inspired other departments to also try and follow suit. As for Satisuk, he's having the time of life. According to Yutthapol, he can be found sitting in a nearby chair, nodding his head, winking, and even monkey-talking to passing motorists.

VA: All veterans' benefit payments will be disrupted if a shutdown goes beyond two weeks
By Steve Vogel
September 27, 2013 at 7:47 p.m. EDT
During the telephone briefing, the leadership of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees were told that VA will run out of money to make compensation and pension payments if a partial shutdown is drawn out for weeks, according to aides to two members of Congress.
The briefing, which was provided by VA congressional affairs, represents a significant change from what the members had previously been told, and from the information the VA has released to the public, according to congressional officials.
Some expressed concern during the briefing that veterans had not been given adequate information to prepare for a possible disruption in payments that many depend upon. Some veterans live check to check, they noted.
"This is a big reason why it's critical that the House join with the Senate to act quickly and keep the government open without any political games," said Sen. Patty Murray, (D-Wash.), who is chairman of the Senate budget committee. "Our nation's heroes, who are already waiting too long for the benefits they deserve, shouldn't be held at the mercy of gridlock and dysfunction in Washington, D.C."
A veterans field guide issued Friday by the VA does not mention the possibility of compensation checks not being issued.
"In the event of a prolonged shutdown, VA will continue to review and update its plan in conjunction with the applicable legal requirements and circumstances," said Victoria Dillon, a spokeswoman for the department.

How To Get iOS 7 Phone And Contacts App On Android
By Oliver Haslam | November 25th, 2013
It's fair to say that when Apple first showed iOS 7 to the world that it polarized opinion. Now, a couple of months following its official release alongside the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, iOS 7 is still a software release that has people arguing about its worth. It seems that some of the people that really like the new iOS 7 aesthetic also happen to be the owners of not an iPhone, but an Android phone. If you are in this camp then you have a problem in that you're obviously not going to be installing iOS 7 any time soon.
But this is Android that we're talking about, and as everyone keeps telling anyone who will listen, Android lets us change just about everything about it, helping us tailor the experience to fit how we want to use our devices, and just as importantly, how we want them to look.
So, it's that ability to customize almost everything inside Android that makes things like Espier Dialer iOS 7 possible.
Available to download from the Play Store right now and free at least initially, Espier Dialer iOS 7 does exactly what its name would suggest. Once installed, the app can take over both incoming and outgoing calling duties, which is nothing really new as far as Android goes. What is interesting to us though is that the dialer looks and behaves just like the Phone and Contacts apps in iOS 7, which is probably where the app gets its name from! How very clever.
It's not all great news though. We're not overly keen in the odd way the app is paid for once the initial 10 day trial is over. According to the app's description, 800 Espier Coins are needed in order to unlock the full feature-set, which is obviously an imaginary currency that's managed digitally by the company that makes this app, amongst others. Removing ads inside the app takes another 1000 coins, and with 1000 coins apparently worth $5, it all starts to add up.
That being said, if you really want iOS 7's dialer on your Android phone, then this is at least worth giving a try. If that is indeed the case, you'll also want to give apps like Espier Launcher a try which, as you might have guessed, gives Android an iOS 7-style Home and lock screen.
You can download Espier Dialer iOS 7 for Android from here.

Gina's donut needs the donut-tray(there is a picture of it in the 2nd page) as it's a pouring type but the one you showed is a yeast-based donut which u have to knead, proof and then cut and fry in oil. The texture of these 2 donuts are also different.
so can i just confirm if its 1tbsp or 1 tsp baking powder from Gina? thank you!
I tried the recipe but each time, the core seem to be very dense compared to the outside which is very fluffy when it's done. Any idea what could be the problem? Tks very much.
Gina, yr donut recipe said mix ..meaning using mixer or manual?
i'm not gina. but i did her donut recipe many times and i use manual mixer.
my donut is also chewy and has alot of air bubbles, issit because i mix the batter for too long?
Just tried my second attempt on this after modifying the recipe, but not too sure if my texture is right.
Does the doughnuts stick to the pan? Mine does even after I've oiled the pan and I have a bit of difficulty removing them. Does that mean my batter is too liquid? Is there any good way to prevent the doughnuts from sticking to the pan?
After you butter the pan, try dusting some flour before you put in the dough. I tried that method & it didn't stick to the pan.
hmm..any recipe for the decoration on the donuts?
I don't have any recipe, but I just use things like peanut butter, chocolate breadspread, blueberry pie fillings, fruits as the topping. Don't like anything too sweet and artificial.
Thanks, Nora. Will try that the next round and see if my amended recipe is still ok.
1. what type of milk must I use? cos I used evaporation milk, is it tis reason cos the donuts to bcome so hard?
2. melted butter - i need to microwave/cook to melt the butter or i can just leave it to "melt" naturally?
3. Mix butter, eggs and milk together - do I need to beat them until certain stage or just beat to mix them well will do?
1. Don't substitute the milk with a different kind. You can subs with full cream milk or UHT milk only. I don't know how Evaporated milk will affect the texture of the donut. Coz I never try.

Why Curtin University launched a new campaign during the Covid crisis
Despite being hit by the pandemic, Curtin University has launched an ambition new campaign around the theme of change
Curtin University has recently launched its first major brand campaign in more than five years, 'Change is Here', an integrated campaign created by AnalogFolk Sydney. The campaign taps into young people's desire to see real change in a world now defined by unprecedented uncertainty, and will run across TV, radio, outdoor, digital and social.
The new campaign is geared toward capturing the university's core purpose of supporting students to make a real difference, and aims to raise the profile of the university with potential students keen on making positive change in the world
Curtin University director, brand and marketing, Kate Jennings, told CMO the university first saw the early signs of a weakening profile through its annual brand health monitoring in 2019, with significant drops in brand awareness and preference for Curtin among key WA audiences. "We presented a pretty compelling business case to our senior executive in early 2020 and thankfully they made the decision to invest in the new campaign," said Jennings.
"We presented a pretty compelling business case to our senior executive in early 2020 and thankfully they made the decision to invest in the new campaign."
Curtin worked with its agencies, AnalogFolk and Longreach, to develop a strategy to reach the audience. "We invested a lot of time during the second half of 2019 discussing our brand DNA, understanding the market and audience sentiment among high school students and tapping into media consumption research," Jennings explained.
"We could see clearly through the available youth sentiment research that younger generations are faced with incredible stress and anxiety about the state of the world, and what their future holds. These worries are further intensified for Year 12 students dealing with the pressures of ATAR and, this year, the impacts of COVID-19," she continued.
These insights drove Curtin to make sure the campaign message was optimistic and hopeful, but also grounded in reality, highlighting real solutions through research and study at Curtin that are already having a positive impact in the world.
"When the team presented the idea 'Change is here', we were really excited by it. It's such a strong fit for Curtin, given our values and our DNA – we are known for creativity and innovation, for being a place that brings people together to make things happen," she said.

Enjoying the largest market share of domestic undergraduates in WA for many years, with well over 50 per cent of first preferences, this year has been a difficult one. COVID-19 has changed the game for all universities in many ways, putting at risk international student numbers and intensifying local and national competition for domestic students.
Jennings told CMO, in the early part of 2020, it had to pause and focus on moving the marketing operations, support the critical communication to the Curtin students and community and re-think the existing programs we would normally be rolling out to attract students for 2021. "The idea for the campaign was developed and approved pre-COVID, so yes, the pandemic had a massive impact on our plans to launch," she said.
"When we were able to move into further concept creation and production, we had to navigate the realities of COVID on interstate travel. Thankfully they were able to secure a large crew in Perth to support the filming here, combined with additional film production and CGI in Sydney to create a beautiful ad that delivered the right message and tone."
The campaign was developed to help strengthen Curtin's future brand position and drive strong, distinctive and motivating perceptions of the university into the future. "We plan for it to run in WA over the next few years, to reinforce and support our ongoing product and prospective student marketing. We will also work our global campus partners to find ways to extend the idea into our international markets, where we believe it will resonate strongly too," Jennings said.

In terms of its wider marketing strategy, the focused is on strengthening its competitive position, growing market share and enrolments in the domestic WA market. "At the same time, continuing to build our profile as a global university, expanding international enrolments both in Australia and through our offshore campuses, in selected markets, through clearly differentiated program offerings and experiences," she said.
Jennings said the university strives to put its brand message, of positive change, into practice through its processes that feed into its broader messaging. "We believe that people who bring ideas to reality can make the world a better place," she said.
"We work closely with government and industry, and help our students become effective graduates who can make a real difference to society. We look for people who share Curtin's ambition to create a better future. People who are innovative, creative and persistent, who are willing to try new things and are not afraid of failure. These are the people who will make tomorrow better."

Contacts is the first collection of William Klein's famous contacts, revamped and over-painted. The most important and famous works of this great artist have been chosen and printed from these contact sheets – those very same works that have made him one of the most acclaimed all-round photographers and artists in the last 30 years. The large prints in the book, some of which have never been published, are reproductions of painted contact sheets, and can be either detached and framed or kept in their original form in the book.\n\nBorn in New York in 1928. After graduating from university he settled in Paris and became a painter. He returned to New York in 1954, and made a photographic logbook which was published two years later awarding him world-wide fame: Life is good and good for you in New York (Prix Nadar, 1956). Klein's visual language immediately breaks away from the traditio-nal approach in which the photographer is merely a discrete, almost invisible presence on the scene. Instead, to take his pictures in the streets he even uses wide-angle lenses and develops the photographs creating "anarchic", warped, out of focus but spontaneous images, which not only reveal but also emphasise the photographer's presence on the scene. It was after seeing this book a few years later that Federico Fellini asked him to work as his assistant on his sets. This proved to be a great occasion for Klein, allowing him to work next to another visio-nary genius. He also produced books dedicated to Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Paris + Klein. Painter, photographer, cinematographer or graphic designer, Klein eludes all labels and categories.

Will & Whit
By Laura Lee Gulledge
Imprint: Amulet Paperbacks
Trim Size: 6 1⁄2 x 9
Illustrations: Black-and-white illustrations
Wilhelmina "Will" Huxstep is a creative soul struggling to come to terms with a family tragedy. She crafts whimsical lamps, in part to deal with her fear of the dark. As she wraps up another summer in her mountain town, she longs for unplugged adventures with her fellow creative friends, Autumn, Noel, and Reese. Little does she know that she will get her wish in the form of an arts carnival and a blackout, courtesy of a hurricane named Whitney, which forces Will to face her fear of darkness.
Laura Lee Gulledge's signature visual metaphors will be on full display in this all-new graphic novel, a moving look at shedding light on the dark corners of life.
Praise for Will & Whit
"This sophomore offering shines as bright as the lamps Will surrounds herself with... Quirky, clever and insightful."
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Gulledge creates engaging characters (especially Reese, Noel's precocious younger sister), and draws them with believable expressiveness… Gulledge's values are wholesome, and her energy is up-to-the minute fresh."
"The most striking feature about Gulledge's second graphic novel is the organic nature of the layouts. Action and dialogue flow smoothly from panel to panel, barely acknowledging their confines. Thick, sumptuous lines separate characters from richly detailed backgrounds, and this is all done in black and white. Gulledge populates her story with unique and likable characters who relate easily and naturally to one another."
"Across the reaches of YA-targeted media, it's rare to find a work with such a relentlessly upbeat tone and sense of uncompromising positivity as those found in this graphic novel."
"The shape and pacing of panels expertly capture the narrative's tone; occasionally the panels disappear altogether, giving the images a dreamy feel. Eloquent pointillist shadows reveal Will's emotions—especially her fears and insecurities—and her expansive imagination."
—HornBook
"Rendered in black and white panels, this graphic novel provides a surprisingly light-hearted story with a strong emotional core. Detailed backgrounds draw the reader into the scene, while the mixture of group shots and individual faces guides the narrative through social and introspective moments."
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Willhemena learns to deal with the shadows from her past and take a big step toward adulthood. This is a satisfying coming-of-age story with a good plot and strong images."

Q: undeclared identifier posix_fallocate() and fallocate() in macOS, clang 12.00 I tried using the fallocate() or the posix_fallocate() function in my CPP program, but my compiler kept telling me, that it couldn't find that function. So I created this minimal program:
#include <fcntl.h>
int main() {
    int fd = open("lol", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666);
    if (fd < 0) return 1;
    return posix_fallocate(fd, 0, 400000);
}

But when I'm trying to compile it, my compiler tells me:
c++ -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -std=c++2a    test.cc   -o test
test.cc:5:12: error: use of undeclared identifier 'posix_fallocate'
    return posix_fallocate(fd, 0, 400000);
           ^
1 error generated.
make: *** [test] Error 1

As you can see, I'm using c++20. I tried this on my Mac with Catalina and clang. It works fine on a Linux shell that I tried.
Why is that and is there a way to make fallocate() work on a Mac?

The last panel references the {{w|Ussher chronology|chronology of the history of the world}} of Archbishop {{w|James Ussher}}. Ussher deduced the age of the world from the timeline of the {{w|Old Testament}} and calculated the date of {{w|Genesis creation myth|Creation}} to have been nightfall preceding 23 October, 4004 BC. The comic observes that October 23 is exactly 264 days after February 3, which corresponds to the average length of pregnancy. This calculation draws on Ussher's own methodology, which was basically to add the lifespans of the Old Testament genealogy. Although the majority of modern scientists believe the universe to be much older than 6000 years, chronologies like Ussher's can sometimes be found in the arguments of {{w|young earth creationism}}. The comic might therefore be seen as a sideswipe to these theories by introducing ''Groundhog Day'' as a possible creation myth. The {{w|creation myth}}s of many cultures claim that Earth was born by some sort {{w|Mother goddess|primordial mother}}. Here, this role would be assumed by Rita.
During the course of the film, Phil makes more and more drastic attempts to end the time loop, but not even suicide can prevent his waking up every morning on February 2 with the clock radio on his nightstand invariably playing I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher. Eventually, his character improves and he finds himself increasingly attached to a woman named Rita (portrayed by Andie MacDowell). The pair gets closer, and in the end they have sex with each other. This breaks the time loop, and Murray's character can finally wake up on February 3. However, this final scene is disputed, as Phil is still wearing the same clothes as the night before. It is therefore left in doubt if they did anything more than literally sleep in the same bed. Randall was apparently not aware of this and apologised for it. (He claimed it was long ago he saw it last - maybe it was when he referenced the movie back in comic 431: Delivery?)
The comic assumes that the loop was indeed not broken, and that Phil and Rita simply had sex night after night for all eternity. It is then stated that not even forever is forever. This is a reference to the mathematical set theory developed by Georg Cantor. Cantor distinguished between transfinite numbers, which are larger than all finite numbers, yet not infinite, and the concept of Absolute Infinity, which he equaled with God. It was a common concern in Cantor's time to preserve the consistency between mathematics and Christian belief. Cantor's philosophical conception of infinity would allow the comic's scenario to eventually reach the transfinite date of February 3.

The Clash of Civilizations is a theory, proposed by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post-Cold War world.
The term itself was first used by Bernard Lewis in an article in the September 1990 issue of The Atlantic Monthly titled "The Roots of Muslim Rage".
4 Modernization, westernization, and "torn countries"
Huntington began his thinking by surveying the diverse theories about the nature of global politics in the post-Cold War period. Some theorists and writers argued that human rights, liberal democracy and capitalist free market economy had become the only remaining ideological alternative for nations in the post-Cold War world. Specifically, Francis Fukuyama argued that the world had reached the 'end of history' in a Hegelian sense.
Huntington believed that while the age of ideology had ended, the world had only reverted to a normal state of affairs characterized by cultural conflict. In his thesis, he argued that the primary axis of conflict in the future will be along cultural and religious lines.


Last week parliament debated money creation for the first time in 170 years. The debate is worth reading in full on Hansard if you have an hour or two.
This essential topic is creeping into the mainstream, thanks to the efforts of Positive Money, the New Economics Foundation, and the Cobden Centre, amongst others. The debate was a real landmark – hopefully representing the start of widening public engagement and education on the subject.
The good news is that it was a cross-party backbench debate, supported by Conservative, Labour, Green and UKIP members.
The bad news is that it was poorly attended, despite being of fundamental importance. It is remarkable that so few members of the public or politicians understand what money is and how it is created.
This House and the Government are obsessed with money and the economy, but we never debate the creation of money or credit, and we should, because, when it comes to our present economic situation and the way the banks and the economy are run, that is the elephant in the room. It is time to think not outside the box, but outside the banks; it is time to think about the creation of credit and money.
I suspect that most people here would be humble enough to recognise that the banking wizardry we are discussing is such a complex issue that very few people properly understand it. If Members of Parliament do not really understand how money is created – I believe that that is the majority position, based on discussions that I have been having – how on earth can we be confident that the reforms that we have brought in over the past few years are going to work in preventing repeated collapses of the sort that we saw before the last election? In my view, we cannot be confident of that. The problem is the impulsive position taken by ignorant Members.
feng shui arguments on the regulatory furniture when there are fundamental questions to be asked about the very foundations of the system.
There was wide understanding from the MPs present that banks create money when they make loans, and this was acknowledged by the Economic Secretary to the Treasury Andrea Leadsom.
However this understanding needs to reach decision-makers and the public. It ought to be taught in schools and universities. Zac Goldsmith and others voiced their support for establishing a monetary commission to examine the pros and cons of our banking system and potential alternative models. As Labour MP Michael Meacher said: "The question at the heart of the debate is who should create the money?" We urgently need to examine that question rigorously and meaningfully before the next financial crisis hits.
This is a beautiful idea. A very inspiring reclamation of public space. Let's hope other cities follow Grenoble's lead.

7-Eleven Named for Preteens
by Corruptico | Posted on July 11, 2018 December 29, 2020
The founders of the convenience store 7-Eleven, later named the store in 1946 over of a fetish for preteens –
Jew Joe C. Thompson Jr. later changed the convenience store name to 7-Eleven to match his desires
Jew Joe C. Thompson Sr, the founding director of 7-Eleven, was a Jewish pedophile who believed the most desirable girls were between the ages of 7 and 11-years-old.
7-Eleven is a Japanese-owned American international chain of convenience stores, headquartered in Irving, Texas. The chain was known as Tote'm Stores until it was renamed in 1946. Its parent company, Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd., operates, franchises, and licenses some 64,319 stores in 18 countries as of January 2018. Seven-Eleven Japan is headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo.Seven-Eleven Japan is held by the Seven & I Holdings Co. – Wiki
"Oh Thank Heaven for 7-Eleven" (aged-girls)
The source for this information is John Bolton's nephew, Greg Dixon. Dixon is closely related to Bolton through his father, Tom Dixon – Bolton's first-cousin.
John Robert Bolton (born November 20, 1948) is an American attorney, political commentator, Republican consultant and activist, government official and former diplomat who serves as the 27th National Security Advisor of the United States under president Trump – Wiki
"John Bolton was reportedly kicked out of Plato's Retreat in NYC after propositioning a 16 year old outside the club."
Dixon's uncle, Bauer Dixon (also first-cousin to Bolton), is the largest dealer of child porn on the West coast, dealing to mostly prominent Jews throughout the Seattle area in Washington state – and exactly how this information was obtained through Greg Dixon.
Child Porn Dealer Bauer Dixon, 33rd degree Freemason
In 1946, in an effort to continue the company's post-war recovery, the name of the franchise was changed to 7-Eleven to reflect the stores' new hours of operation, which were unprecedented at the time. In 1963, 7-Eleven experimented with a 24-hour schedule in Austin, Texas, after an Austin store stayed open all night to satisfy customer demand. – Wiki
Sure, the hours of 7am to 11pm provide ironclad cover for a more sinister reality that permeates the elite mindset, nationwide.
To promote the release of the Simpsons movie in 2007, 12 select 7-elevens in north America were converted into Kwik-e-marts.
This also was the hope for the owners renaming the convenience store in 1946 – to attract girls aged 7-11 into their stores.
The elite love to show-off their sexual innuendos amongst one another, and if aware, their signs are everywhere.
For the 2010 rankings, 7-Eleven climbed to the No. 3 spot in Entrepreneur Magazine's 31st Annual Franchise 500, "the first and most comprehensive ranking in the world". This was the 17th year 7-Eleven was named in the top 10.

Q: IoC registration for wrapper class I have interface IA and implementations A:IA and B:IA. The B implementation has a dependency on IA with constructor DI so that B.ctor(IA).
The intent of this design is to wrap A with B and allow them to be used interchangeably. A is an adapter to a database, and B allows caching of that data.
IA is also depending on by provider classes in this system, so that when I register those providers I would like to use an instance of B. My object graph should basically look as follows:
new Provider(
    new B(
        new A(
            new DbContex("constr")
        )
    )
)

I have considered using a tagging interface such that IB:IA and B:IB, but then I would need to depend on IB on my providers instead of IA which would not be ideal.
I have also considered using a factory for IA that creates an instance of B using an instance of A, but that feels wrong.
So I guess I am looking for some way of accomplishing this registration using the simpleinjector IoC container.
Example code
public class A : IA
{
    private readonly DbContext _context;

    public A(DbContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    public T Get<T>()
    {
        // Do stuff to get and
        // return value from database.
    }

    public void Set<T>(T value)
    {
        // Do stuff to set value
        // in database.
    }
}

Wrapper class:
public class B : IA
{
    private readonly IA _adapter;

    public B(IA adapter)
    {
        _adapter = adapter;
    }

    public T Get<T>()
    {
        // Do stuff to get and
        // return value from cache
        // or database adapter.
    }

    public void Set<T>(T value)
    {
        // Do stuff to set value
        // in cache and database.
    }
}

Consumer of IA:
public class Provider
{
    private readonly IA _adapter;

    public Provider(IA adapter)
    {
        _adapter = adapter;
    }
}

A: What you're looking for is known as the decorator pattern.
Simple Injector has excellent support for applying decorators, probably the best support compared to other mainstream IoC containers.
You can read all about the decorator subsystem here:
Aspect-Oriented Programming in the documentation.
For this basic case the registrations needed are straightforward:
container.Register<IA, A>();
container.RegisterDecorator<IA, B>();

And don't forget to put 'IA' in the ctor of B.
