Q: HTML5 default validation don't be appeared when I go from one input to another input I have an ASP.NET MVC project and in one view page I have below tags:
<form class="form-horizontal" action="~/Home/EnterMobileNumber" method="Post" id="registration">

                                <input type="tel" name="Mobile" id="Mobile" class="form-control" required pattern="[0]{1}[9-9]{1}[0-9]{9}"
                                       oninvalid="InvalidMsg(this);" title="Please enter valid mobile number" placeholder="mobile number">
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Mobile, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

                                <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" class="form-control" required  placeholder="firstname">
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

                    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-warning" value="register" />

</form>

and there is jquery code in this view as below:
 @section Scripts
                                               {

}

Here for showing HTML5 default validation I must press submit button and I do not want to do this.
I want it when mouse leaves first input and goes to another input then the HTML5 default validation gets appeared in its default frame(that is like a popup) like this picture:

Any help will be appreciated!

A: You have to initialize the settings for onfocusout or onfocusin to get the validation to fire like so:
$('#myFormId').validate({
    onfocusout: function (element) {
       $(element).valid();
 },
 onfoucsin: false //this will disable in. If you want to enable it just set up the function

 });

Popular Styles: What Does Your Hat Style Reveal About You?
September 14 2021 , by Alex Torres, 2 min reading time
Every time we wear an outfit, we have a chance to send a message to the world about ourselves. Why else would people use the phrase "making a statement" in reference to clothing style? If there's anything that can change your outfit's message, it's your hat choice.
So, what does your hat style reveal about you? Our guide will walk you through some of the most popular styles to help you make your fashion statement.
A baseball hat is probably one of the most common hats in the world. So, it's no surprise that it can offer various messages depending on how you wear it and its particular design. To illustrate, we provide a few examples below:
Front-facing hat with logo: You're fashion-forward, confident, and eager to promote yourself or the brand or community you come from.
Front-facing dad hat: You're easygoing and enjoy taking life as it comes.
Backward-facing hat: You're fun-loving, social, and laidback.
Of course, there is the sideways baseball hat as well. But since no one has actively worn a baseball cap sideways in over ten years, this mostly communicates that someone clings to the past.
The bucket hat has gone through a plethora of uses since its advent in the early 1900s. This has made it another versatile hat as far as self-expression goes.
A khaki bucket hat may denote that someone is practical and loves the outdoors. Any other type of bucket hat typically points to someone uninterested in blending in with the background.
Cowboy hats immediately call to mind a certain lifestyle. When you see one, you probably picture days spent under the wide-open sky sitting in a saddle. These hats relate to the life of a cowboy or rancher. And even if you don't live that lifestyle yourself, wearing a cowboy hat implies a certain respect for it.
If you gravitate toward cowboy hats, you're often down-to-earth and value family, tradition, your beliefs, and the mantra, "work hard, play harder."
Trilbies and Fedoras
Popular culture often mistakes trilbies and fedoras for the same hat. And although they're both linked with the early 20th-century jazz and big band era, there are differences between them.
The trilby is the more popular hat today and has a far shorter brim. These days, people often associate it with a desire to be countercultural and unique. Fedoras, the trilby's wide-brimmed cousins, haven't picked up as much 21st-century popularity. So, people with a deeper appreciation of the jazz-age aesthetic and elegance often wear them.
Of course, the best way to find out what your hat style reveals about you is to explore the endless hats out there. Here at Fashionable Hats, we have everything from felt porkpies to gorgeous Dobbs straw hats for your perusal.

Singapore, Smart City
How Singaporean companies and Finnish smart city solutions find their match
Singaporean companies and Finnish smart, sustainable city solutions complement each other. But how can they find the best partners to work with? Irma Ylikangas wants to make the process as easy as possible for companies.
Janne Hirvonen
The world's awash with superb, ground-breaking smart city solutions. The big ones are rather prominent, but smaller ones become harder to spot. It makes sense, then, that the companies that would be the best business partners for you can be easy to miss. If only someone could save you the struggle and bring them to you…
Joining curated business matchmaking events will ease companies' efforts. Irma Ylikangas, Senior Business Advisor and Singapore expert at Helsinki Partners, has been connecting Finnish and Singaporean companies for years. She wishes to see more of them join forces and create smart city solutions together.
"Singapore and Finland both have very active business environments," she says. "Things proceed fast when there is a common interest."
A network of known organisers adds an element of trust. For many years, Helsinki Partners has been working with Singaporean and Finnish partner organisations, such as HDB, BCA, MOHH, IPI Singapore, Smart Urban Co-Innovation Lab, Geoworks, and The Finnish Embassy in Singapore.
Matchmaking events focus on fulfilling a real need. After identifying the need for a specific technology or solution, delegations consisting of relevant Finnish business representatives travel to Singapore. The visits usually include seminars, pitching sessions, and one-on-one meetings. This approach allows both small and large companies to find connections in Singapore where a clear competitive advantage is needed to succeed.
© Petri Mast
Creating business between countries requires long-term commitment. We have helped to open doors and arrange events where companies have been able to find suitable business contacts. This has been very much appreciated.
Irma Ylikangas – Senior Business Advisor at Helsinki Partners
Smart city topics connect Singaporean and Finnish businesses
Singapore and Finland are highly advanced technologically and leading smart city nations. Both appreciate high-tech solutions and strive to create a well-functioning environment for residents, visitors, and businesses alike. It's therefore natural that the co-operation focuses mainly on smart city topics.
Similar goals have helped find common ground. In both countries, government, and city authorities highly support digitalisation in improving the functionality and quality of residents' everyday life. For example, the Singaporean Government has been running the Smart Nation initiative for many years to drive digitalisation and the adoption of smart technologies to provide its citizens the best homes possible.
Helsinki Metropolitan has actively worked for years to achieve the same goal. Digitalisation also aids at reaching carbon neutrality targets which Helsinki aims to achieve by 2030. Consequently, the businesses in the capital city region and throughout Finland have become some of the global leaders in digitalising the built environment.
Doors to Asian and European markets
Singapore and Finland are great starting points for companies looking to expand operations to their respective continents. Both countries have stable business environments and rank among the top countries for low corruption. In Asia, Finland is known for innovations and reliable technologies, and Singapore's economy makes the country a great place for innovation hubs. Geographically, Singapore is ideally placed to reach customers in Asia while Finland has easy connections to Europe, Russia, Asia, and North America.
Getting support from the likes of Helsinki Partners and the Singaporean partner organisation Smart Urban Co-Innovation Lab will make expansion even easier: Helsinki Partners assists companies from Singapore and Asia in European expansion and matches foreign companies with solutions and service providers from Finland. The Lab, on the other hand, helps Finnish companies to set up their business and grow in Singapore or to enter and expand in the Asian market.
Matchmaking events have been a great tool to accelerate business cooperation. The events and collaboration of other kinds have direct results, pilot projects, and signed business agreements. Both the business ecosystems and the nations benefit from the results – the exchange of skills and know-how, new business opportunities, and job creation.
"Finnish data management, IoT and digitalisation solutions for the built environment as well as new technologies, for example indoor air quality, have resonated with Singaporean companies," clarifies Irma Ylikangas. "New solutions in urban sustainability, energy efficiency, and a carbon-free environment to combat climate change are also very welcome."
"However, there's still a lot we can learn from each other! Aside from the matchmaking events, we welcome Singaporean companies to come to Helsinki and experience the wide variety of piloting opportunities in our urban testbeds. The culture of openness and information-sharing ensures you'll learn everything there is to know about the smart city ecosystem in Helsinki from the people themselves."

Maserati enters Formula E in 2023 as part of electric push
Currently reading: Maserati enters Formula E in 2023 as part of electric push
Italian firm will return to top-level motorsport to highlight its future electric line-up
Maserati will return to top-flight international motorsport in Formula E in 2023, to help showcase the planned electrification of its revamped road car range.
The firm will join fellow Stellantis brand DS in the all-electric single-seater championship, and will be the first Italian manufacturer on the grid. Maserati's entry will coincide with Formula E's new Gen3 rules package.
It is understood that Maserati will partner an existing Formula E team, similar to the title-winning DS and Techeetah partnership. It is likely that Maserati will use rebadged DS powertrains. The French brand, which has won multiple Formula E titles, has also committed to the Gen3 rules.
Porsche Taycan named new Formula E safety car
Racing lines: Formula E needs less contact for more impact
Nissan reveals Ariya-inspired, single-seat EV racer concept
Opinion: Can Formula E withstand Mercedes' withdrawal?
Mercedes quits Formula E to focus on EV road car development
Maserati's Formula E entry – its first international motorsport programme since the MC12 dominated the FIA GT Championship from 2004 until 2010 – will help showcase the electrification of its road car range. The firm is currently revamping its line-up, including the Maserati MC20 supercar, the forthcoming new Grecale SUV and the next-generation Granturismo and Grancabrio.
Starting with the MC20, Maserati will eventually offer a battery-electric model of every new machine it launches.
When Maserati boss Davide Grasso launched the MC20 and outlined a wider brand revamp in 2020, he highlighted that motorsport was "in the brand's DNA", and promised a return to the racing circuits.
Speaking about the Formula E entry, Grasso said: "We are very proud to be back where we belong as protagonists in the world of racing."
Stellantis motorsport boss Jean-Marc Finot added: "Maserati Formula E will be our technological laboratory to accelerate the development of high-efficiency electrified powertrains and intelligent software for our road sports cars."
Maserati's commitment is also a major boost to Formula E following the withdrawal of Audi and BMW at the end of last season and Mercedes following suit this year.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the new president of motorsport governing body the FIA, called Maserati's entry "testament to the overwhelming faith in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship's future as we prepare to usher in the next era. The new Gen3 single-seater will represent the pinnacle of sustainability, technology and performance."
Maserati has a long history in motorsport, starting with the Tipo 26 that claimed a class victory in the 1926 Targa Florio. The firm enjoyed considerable success in pre-war grand prix racing, and ran a works team in the Formula 1 World Championship from 1950 until 1957. The squad took nine race wins in that time, with Juan Manuel Fangio winning the 1957 crown in a 250F (Fangio also drove a 250F in two races in his title-winning '54 season, but spent the bulk of the year driving a Mercedes).
After withdrawing its factory team, Maserati continued to supply engines to Formula 1 teams into the 1960s. The firm also competed in endurance racing.
Following a long motorsport hiatus in the 1970s, Maserati dabbled in touring cars in the late 1980s, but its next high-profile motorsport campaign came with the MC12 from 2004 until 2010. The machine dominated the FIA GT Championship but was ineligible to compete in the higher-profile GT class at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's 11,400-square-foot Paradise Valley mansion recently sold for $8.15 million in cash, according to public real estate records.
Doug and Angela Ducey listed their French-style farmhouse for $8.75 million in December.
The move comes as the couple downsizes, then Ducey spokesman Patrick Ptak said at the time.
"They're staying right here," he said. "As many couples with kids leaving the nest do, they've decided it's time to downsize."
No word yet on where the Duceys are moving.
PST Properties of Colorado bought the mansion that sits alongside the Paradise Valley Country Club and offers views of Mummy Mountain.
PST, a limited liability company, lists a mailing address at a multi-million dollar home in Carmel, Indiana. No other information for the buyer is listed in public records.
The Paradise Valley house, with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, sits on more than two prime acres in the heart of metro Phoenix's most exclusive neighborhood in the 85253 ZIP code.
Ducey, who was CEO of Cold Stone Creamery before getting into politics, bought the land for the home with his wife, Angela, in 2005. The couple paid $1.825 million for the large lot through a group called DAD Properties, according to public real estate records.
The Duceys then had the mansion built, where they raised their three sons.
Ducey bought a Flagstaff home in the private golf community of Forest Highlands in 2008, according to Coconino County records.

Instead of rebuilding my original A4, I bought a spare one!
Yesterday, I picked up a used A4 from the next town over...Mainly, I did this for several reasons with number being that this A4, from the outside at least, is in much better shape than mine...It was started and ran for a while before I bought it and came with the engine bed.
I am excited to get this as it gives me an opportunity to get it ready easily with paint, FWC, etc.
I first want to check compression on 4 cylinders...If all is good, I plan on just removing the head and side jackets to make sure cooling passages are clean and clear...while at it, I will paint all major pieces separately using the por15 engine paint kit in Pontiac light blue.
Looking forward to it! I still have major work going on my Tartan 34 including removal of all deck hardware, rot removal, etc...so this will probably be done little by little...I plan on providing updates on this project as things get done on this thread.
Looks like a good score and a fine example of the strategy of choosing one's battles.
BTW: I have a small oil leak in the two area below...I assume there are seals that need to be addressed. Input?
The leak at the flywheel is due to lifting and shipping. There is no seal at that end. The leak from the rear is in fact a rear seal that needs replacement. Easy job out of the boat.
The por15 black primer is really good - pay attention to the warning about sticking to skin - it won't come off for days if not a week or more.
It looks like the PO paid some attention to the engine - that's a nice find!
WOW! looks great! Interesting things you did...Why the 3 hoses going into side plate? Better flow?
The home made electrolysis, can you explain more? Was this used for rust removal or paint removal? How did you remove paint from block?
Got it...thank you! Will order new seal soon.
Have to be honest and say it was a completely irrational PTSD response to a bad cooling experience. The A4 can and will live with less, but I wanted to try and replicate something like the original side jacket casting. I'm not sure I'd do this again.
Removes rust and (loosens) paint - the bond fails and the paint falls off. Described previously in this thread. http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8526 As I mention in the thread, this is not my original idea, but something common in the old tools / old iron community.
After I found my block had been recently rebuilt (that was a really good day), I took a calculated risk and didn't separate the main castings (rear housing, block, and oil pan). I cleaned them with solvents and wipes, and did some sanding/wire brushing to make the surfaces as friendly as possible for the primer. I used the POR spray acid etch to prevent surface rust and add 'tooth' on bare metal.
It really depends on how far you're planning on / need to disassemble. If I had fully disassembled, I would have taken the big parts to get hot tanked and started from bare metal. My tub was big enough for the flywheel housing and everything else.
3 of the 4 cylinders came back at 100...One came back at 80. Poured a little oil and it jumped to 90.
I assume piston ring is in question?
My question then is, I suppose something is wrong with the piston rings or at worst, needs cylinder honing.
I really did not want to do a full rebuild of this engine but seeing what others think when one cylinder is like this...All others are at 100 psi.
Hopefully it's just a valve hanging up or the seat is pitted or something similar that is causing the low compression. Remove the head and have a look see. While the head is off you can get the cooling jacket and water passages pristine clean. You will be ready to go with FWC then.
The carb main jet is probably blocked. If you rebuild the carb you will know there are no carb problems with the new engine - sort of like starting from zero again.
I have finally gotten a chance to start taking apart my replacement spare engine so that I can figure out why one cylinder was around 80 psi and not holding the pressure.
I'd like to avoid going any further than this in the tear down or rebuild since other cylinders came in at 100psi when warm.
First thing I noticed was one gasket was used instead of two. Could that be a reason?
What else am I looking for here? I realized I had not removed the gasket from mating surfaces to closely inspect but will be doing so today and posting those pics for your inspection.
As far as valves, what am I looking for to see if they are the culprit?
I just poured a couple ounces of mmo on top of cylinder 2 and it slowly drained in about a half hour. Will piston rings let oil go by like that or are the supposed to let some air by?
I will report more info soon.
Can we assume this block passed a pressure test? If not, put it back together and do one ASAP.
Can't the machine shop determine the same thing on their inspection though? Why would I need to do a pressure test unless they can't?
Only thing you need for the test is for the head to be on. The machine shop can visually check for cracks and holes, but it isn't exactly the same thing.
Just to update everyone, I had dropped off bottom end block for rest of teardown and inspection/measuring. Long story short, my main problem with the compression on one piston was the valve. Also, measurement of piston walls was distorted, most likely due to install of pistons in not the proper orientation. Crankshaft was also a bit screwed so it will need overhaul.
In all, they will be completely rebuilding engine with new bearings, +20 pistons, new rings, new valve springs, crank will be ground down and +.10 or .20 on those as well, they will put the engine back together, hot tanking and paint removal, painting, etc for about $1300 in labor. Parts will be around $1200 as well. In all, not what I expected but a lesson learned...just because an engine looks good on exterior and it had been rebuilt does not mean it was rebuilt correctly.

Awkward Moment for Alleged Batfan Who Didn't Know Heath Ledger Died
Sheboygan, MI - An after-movie conversation turned awkward when a comment by Craig Fitzsimmons revealed that he didn't know Heath Ledger was dead.
"I said I couldn't wait for Ledger's Oscar acceptance speech," said Fitzsimmons. "Everyone got quiet and looked at me funny. I was like 'What? What'd I say wrong?' Finally, Todd told me what happened."
Even more embarrassing for Fitzsimmons is that he's an alleged Batfan. Todd Stevens, who explained the gaffe to Fitzsimmons said, "He's always going on about how much he's into Batman. It's one of the reaons we let him into our group, but he didn't even know Ledger was dead? Sad."
"I probably shouldn't have claimed to be such a fan," said Fitzsimmons. "But I really wanted to be friends with these guys. I mean they have such cool T-shirts and know so much about computers."
Fitzsimmons claimed to be out of the country when Ledger died, so there was no way he could've known, but his friends weren't buying it.
Trailer Review: The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight's Top 11 Least Favorite Villains
Batman Begins Inspires More Movie Resets
"Please," said Stevens. "Even my mom knew that Ledger was dead. After he said that we started to question him on other things about Batman. He didn't know a thing. The only villains he could name were from the TV show and movies. He couldn't even tell us what year Robin made his first appearance. I almost felt sorry for him."
The group said they probably would see The X-Files movie without Fitzsimmons. "I don't think we can trust him any more."

The EV completes the Niro model range, which had previously only included a complete hybrid and a plug-in hybrid version. Since their launch in 2016, the hybrid variants of the Niro sold around 200,000 units around the world.
As previously reported, the battery for the fully electric Nuro as well as the Hyundai Kona Electric, which was presented in February, will be offered in two variants with 39.2 kWh or 62 kWh. This will allow for ranges over 300 km for the smaller battery and 450 km with the larger one. Total consumption is stated to be 13.9 kWh for the smaller version and 14.3 kWh on the larger battery per 100 km. The values are the same as for the Kona Electric.
The electric motor in the Niro features performance of 150 kW. The charging performance for the batteries was undisclosed for some time, but it was recently confirmed that both can be charged at CCS high speed chargers (up to 100 kW) to 80% within 54 minutes.

Poor officiating was front and center on Sunday during the game between the Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers. | Image: Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
Terrible NFL Officiating Gets Even Worse With Ejection of Ryan Anderson But Not DeAndrew White
September 23, 2020 UTC: 1:20 PM. December 2, 2019 UTC: 12:37 AM. by Travis Pulver
NFL officials have a tough job, and while fans would like them to be perfect, most would be satisfied with a little consistency.
But in the Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Redskins game there was not much consistency and there certainly wasn't anything resembling perfection.
Two players, Carolina's DeAndrew White and Washington's Ryan Anderson, committed egregious helmet-to-helmet hits, but only one player was ejected.
Fans do not want much from the NFL. They want an entertaining product put on the field; do that, and most fans could care less about anything else. Of course, many things go into the NFL doing just that, like proper officiating and player safety—two things missing from Sunday's Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Redskins game.
During the game, two players were on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit, Panthers tight end Greg Olsen and Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn. Both plays saw the refs throw a flag on the hitter, and both resulted in yardage being marched off.
But that is where the similarities end and the problems begin.
DeAndrew White made his helmet-to-helmet hit first, in the second quarter when Quinn was attempting to catch a punt. He did not call for a fair catch, but White can't hit him when Quinn is in a defenseless position (like he was), and he certainly can't go helmet-to-helmet (like he did).

It looks pretty cut and dry, right? Yeah, but the penalty was for catch interference. Somehow, the refs failed to take note of the egregious helmet-to-helmet hit. So, White remained in the game while Quinn left with a concussion.
The play by Ryan Anderson on Greg Olsen was just as violent. But it could be considered the lesser of the two since Olsen wasn't standing still and looking up like Quinn.

Anderson was ejected, and he should have been, but White should have been tossed as well.
NFL Officials Have A Tough Job
Officiating an NFL game is not easy. It's impossible to get every call right; NFL officials are humans and are going to make mistakes. This year, there seems to be an alarming number of bad calls being made or not made every week. There were enough earlier in the season that nice guy Tony Dungy complained about them on Twitter.
Poor officiating has driven at least one fan away from the game.
The rules can be ambiguous at times, but with these two hits, that did not appear to be the case. Both are targeting plays, which makes them reviewable. With the same replay official looking over both plays, there should be no problem getting a proper and consistent ruling.
But neither happened in this case.
The NFL may not see the need, but the league needs to get its act together. There is a reason why people keep trying to form an alternative league to the NFL. It is because there is enough frustration with how the NFL conducts itself that businessmen like Vince McMahon see an opening.
For now, the XFL is not going to be competing with the NFL. But if McMahon can get it right this time and the NFL keeps messing things up…. Who knows?

Violent Women: Dumontet's Medusa and E.V. Day's CatFight
Glasstire - Rainey Knudson
Two striking artworks are now on view in San Antonio. That they are both sculptures by women depicting a frozen moment of enraged feminine violence is, I think, a coincidence.
Gabrielle Dumontet's Medusa wall sconce, sculpted in 1906, is odd in many ways. First off, good luck finding information on the artist (even the French Wikipedia makes virtually no mention of Dumontet). It's also a very early example of a bronze which incorporates electric light, in this case, tiny lightbulbs in the mouths of the snakes on Medusa's head. The lightbulbs appear to have been painstakingly created to mimic early versions, with clear glass and little ropy filaments. It's a dynamite piece.
Also odd is the fact that the McNay Art Museum acquired it to some minor fanfare in 2006, but has it installed incongruously, high above a doorway, in a spot you'll miss entirely if you pass through the gallery in the wrong direction. Situated in the middle of a wall, this lady would dominate the room.
Down the way at Artpace, "national" resident E.V. Day has created a remarkable installation involving casts from female saber-toothed tigers found in the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles.
Day used more fishing line than strictly necessary to suspend the skeletons, resulting in a dense gleaming sunburst effect that explodes away from the figures themselves, like in a comic strip (or, say, around religious icons).
The dense, spider web-like network of filaments, the sexualized pose of the attack, the silvered fangs and claws (a nod to the types of things modern women compete over?) all make for heady viewing. The two fighting cats have an audience of cobras, which have the look of a kit you buy in a science museum:
They're erectly enjoying the show, maybe hoping to get a taste of the loser. But in the case of CatFight, you don't get the sense that it was the serpents who made the girls do it.

Missteps and missed opportunities: Kenya's industrialisation saga
Nairobi's industrial district is well laid out – or at least looks that way on a map. The district's main thoroughfare, Enterprise Road, starts just outside the city's CBD and runs for almost 15km. Alphabetically named roads branch off at regular intervals. Each of these ends in a broad cul-de-sac designed to allow trucks to turn easily. The main railway has branch lines terminating at every warehouse to expedite the off-loading of goods.
Off the map and on the ground, a very different picture emerges. The roads are choked with traffic, the sidewalks covered in litter. The railway tracks are overgrown with weeds, and car mechanics and metal forgers have taken over the cul-de-sacs.
This wide gap – between the efficiency imagined on the map and the cluttered chaos on the ground – is analogous to the gap that separates Kenya's manufacturing plans from its actual progress towards becoming an industrialised country.
With a two-year hiccup provoked by election violence in 2008 and the global financial crisis, Kenya's GDP has grown on average 5% annually since 2004, according to the World Bank. Industrial production, however, still languishes at 15% of GDP, with agriculture accounting for 24% and services for 61%, according to the Kenyan National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
A historical perspective helps to understand why industry lags. When Kenya gained independence from Britain in 1963 it inherited an industrial policy that aimed at substituting imports for locally manufactured products. Continuing this policy, the newly independent government under Jomo Kenyatta invited foreign manufacturers of locally-consumed products to set up in the country and to make these goods using locally-sourced raw materials.
The government protected these infant industries from competition through quantitative restrictions, import licensing, foreign exchange controls, high tariffs on competing imports and overvalued exchange rates that made imports uncompetitive. The East African Community (EAC), an intergovernmental body Kenya set up with Uganda and Tanzania to create a common market, customs tariffs and other shared public services, also attracted foreign investors.
This policy of import-substitution worked, for the most part. In the five years following independence, manufacturing value added increased 44%, led by the textiles, food, beverages and tobacco sectors. Annual growth in manufacturing peaked between 1971 and 1973 at over 25%, according to the World Bank.
The downside, however, was that the protective policies were so effective that established foreign companies – such as chemical manufacturer Union Carbide and rubber producer Firestone – enjoyed near monopolies; and parastatals took over traditional spheres such as utilities but also many aspects of manufacturing and distribution.
These private and government-owned monopolies did not permit the development of a competitive business model and contributed to massive inefficiencies in domestic industries. By 1980 this import-substitution strategy had run its course. Imports of consumer goods had declined and new industries could not be established to produce local substitutes. In addition, the collapse of the EAC in 1977 reduced the regional market for Kenyan manufacturers.
Kenya did not participate actively in export, focusing instead on supplying domestic and regional markets, which traded in relatively weak local currencies. The country ran into repeated foreign exchange shortages and found it increasingly difficult to pay for crucial imports, such as petroleum.
Shifting import restrictions
Faced with these constraints, in 1980 Kenya became the second country – after Turkey – to sign a structural adjustment agreement with the World Bank. A US$55m loan from the bank was conditional on the Kenyan government adopting more liberal trade and interest rate regimes, as well as a more outward-oriented industrial policy.
From 1982 into the 1990s, under pressure from donors, particularly the World Bank, Kenya began shifting import restrictions from quotas to tariffs, and decreasing tariff levels. In 1987, 40% of all importable items had quantitative quotas, but by July 1991, import licences were only used for health or security reasons. In addition to opening up imports, Kenya introduced several programmes through the 1980s and 1990s designed to promote exports, such as the manufacturing-under-bond scheme in 1988, which allowed manufacturers producing for export to import equipment duty-free, as well as the creation in 1990 of manufacturer-friendly export processing zones. Kenyan industry experienced a major shake-up during the structural adjustment period, particularly as a result of competition from cheaper imports. Many companies collapsed, including Kisumu Cotton Mills, the Pan Paper Mills, and other state-owned firms that had previously operated as monopolies.

Have you ever been out camping, and just peeled the last pear of undies from the bottom of your suitcase, and you still have 3 days left of living in a tent? If you were a smart man/women, you would have also packed the Scrubba, which is a portable laundry system wash bag that acts as a mobile washing machine that you can take with you anywhere you go.
How it works is, you simply toss in your dirty clothes that need washing, fill up the bag with water and soap, roll and close up the top and clip it shut, and start shaking the bag like you're a washing machine. The inside of the bag is filled with little nubs that act as a wash board as you shake the bag back and forth.
Not only a great gift idea for camping lovers, the Scrubba portable laundry wash bag system is also great for backpacking, business trips, boating, small apartments, power outages, surfing, SUP boarding, swimming, or any other kind of outdoor adventure you might find yourself on.
Self-touted as the smallest and lightest washing machine on the planet, the Scrubba wash bag weighs just 5 oz when empty, and can be folded up and packed with you wherever you go.
The Scrubba portable laundry system is made from durable microbial and hydrolysis-resistant polyether. In one load, the wash bag can fit a few t-shirts, a few pairs of socks, and a few pairs of underwear. But if you have more clothes to wash, you can just do another load, as each rotation just takes a few minutes.
When not being used, the Scrubba wash bag can be used simply as a dry bag where you can store your wet swimsuit or clothing after getting out of the water, without it getting everything else wet.
Check out the Scrubba portable laundy system wash bag in action via the video below.

Ripon Christian junior Nolan Lingley had his second shoulder surgery in nearly three years in the fall, but it hasn't kept him off the diamond. Lingley has appeared in all eight games and leads the Knights in several hitting categories.
'Nothing is going to keep me from that field.' He draws strength from surgeries.
James Burns
RIPON — Ripon Christian junior Nolan Lingley insists his shoulders can bear the weight of the school's football and baseball programs, even if his medical records suggest otherwise.
You see, Lingley's left shoulder — his non-throwing shoulder — is twice repaired, the result of a series of dislocations that have interrupted his first three years on campus. There are 11 inch-long incisions, five from one surgery and six from the other.
"It feels stronger than ever," he says.
To better understand today's position of strength, though, you must first understand the depths of his disappointment and pain.
Ripon Christian junior Nolan Lingley ranks among the team's leaders in every offensive category despite two surgeries to his left shoulder.
On the eve of his debut as a freshman with the varsity baseball team, Lingley's troublesome shoulder popped out of the socket. He had suffered dislocations before, but this one was different. He wasn't able to reset the shoulder — as he had done so many times before — and was forced into the ER.
Tests revealed a torn labrum, and within weeks the promising young talent was under the knife, his freshman baseball and sophomore football seasons lost to surgery.
"It was a tough experience with a lot of learning along the way," said Lingley, a quarterback and middle infielder. "Never did I dream it would happen again."
Fast forward to Week 3 of the 2018 football season: Lingley is entrenched in a quarterback battle with Cade Alger and the Knights are soaring up the regional small-school poll, despite a rotation under center. In the days leading up to a pivotal Southern League showdown with Waterford, Lingley felt looseness in his surgically-repaired shoulder, but played anyway.
"There was a QB battle going on," he said, "and I didn't want to miss anything."
A slippery dual-threat, Lingley fled the pocket, leaning into a tackle with his temperamental left shoulder. When the contact came, his shoulder slipped out of place. Lingley winced, his pain spiced with the frustration of cruel fate.
His season was over.
As he waited in the same emergency room he visited two years earlier for his initial surgery, Lingley processed the severity of the situation.
"Is my football career over? Am I going to play baseball again?" he wondered. "It was a lot. It makes you appreciate being healthy. Seeing my friends and teammates, guys who have never been hurt, I'm happy for them and I want to be in that spot."
Lingley doesn't believe he's a star-crossed athlete. He hasn't lost hope or confidence in his abilities ... or his body. If anything, these moments of weakness have strengthened his resolve. Injuries may have slowed his recruitment and limited his play time, but they haven't diminished his talent or ability to perform at a high level.
This spring sings to his potential.
Lingley pushed his rehabilitation at every opportunity, shrinking a five-month recovery window into four, and was cleared by his surgeon just in time for baseball.
"Since it was the second one, we weren't trying to rush it," he said, "but being a big part of the high school team, I wanted to get back for my teammates. I was consistent with it (rehabilitation), and we decided if I could get back ahead of schedule, we'd go for it."
Ripon Christian (5-3) is reaping the rewards.
The Knights began Southern League play last week with an 18-1 victory over Delhi, setting up this week's home-and-home series with Waterford, which began with Wednesday's rainout. Lingley has been a catalyst through the first month of the season, ranking among the team leaders in nearly every offensive category.
"We're taking it easy, as far as he's not allowed to dive head first, but it hasn't affected his swing one bit," Ripon Christian coach John DeVisser said. "He's hit the ball really hard."
Lingley has appeared in every game with a team-high 33 plate appearances. He's hitting .444, third-best among players with at least 20 at-bats. He tops the team in runs (16), doubles (five) and home runs (two), and is second in hits (12) and RBI (12).
Lingley is also 1-1 with a 2.80 ERA and one save. He is second on the team in innings pitched and strikeouts.
After two surgeries, DeVisser feared Lingley's days as an athlete might be over. Today, he marvels at his perseverance and potential.
"It's not about my program, it's about the kid," DeVisser said. "I wondered, 'Is that the last time he's going to step on the football field or baseball diamond,' because it's the same shoulder? You feel for the kid and hope he can get back on the field someday."
He's back with no plans of slowing down, either. Despite his parents' obvious concerns, Lingley says he will play football in the fall, pushing Jacob Van Groningen for the starting quarterback job.
The Ripon Christian football team is coming off a historic campaign. The Knights won 12 consecutive games to start the season and reached the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VI final by knocking off top-seeded Modesto Christian inarguably the biggest win in school history. In the final, Ripon Christian was dusted by Hilmar, 57-14.
"Nothing is going to keep me from that field," Lingley said. "It's going to be fun. After last year and having an opportunity to be the starting quarterback, this year I hope to take the job on my shoulders and lead us back to where we were last season."

The first month in a brand new year is an excellent time to get clear on what kind of life you would like to create for yourself, and the steps you will need to take on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to get you to where you want to be.
When it comes to our lives we have two choices: take time to consciously create our life, or spend time dealing with the life that has "happened to" us.
Take a few moments to get clear on what you REALLY want for your life.
What do you want to achieve this year? In your career, study, home life, relationships, environment, living arrangements, health or spirituality?
And then list the steps you will need to take to achieve them.
Time for a meditation break!
Get yourself into a super-comfy position.
And now visualise your life EXACTLY as you would love to be living it.
What are you doing? Where have you been? Where are you going?
What do you have? What are you giving? What are you contributing?
How are you carrying yourself? Speaking? Behaving? Relating to others?
The idea behind this exercise is for you to dream up a truly healthy, happy, wonderful life! And for this dream to help you plan (and take!) the steps you need to take to close the gap between where you are now, and the dream life you would love to be living!
The next step is where the work begins!
Work backwards from that picture of your ideal life.
What changes do you need to make to all of these aspects of your current life to move you closer to your ideal life?
Plan and list all of the steps you will need to take to close the gap between where you are now, and the dream life you would love to be living!
Now prioritise those things when deciding how to spend your hours and days!!
If it's not part of your journey to health, happiness or success (however you choose to define it!) then leave it for later, after you have done the important stuff.
Too often, our precious hours (weeks, months and years) are eaten up by "default" activities, like trashy TV, mindless scrolling through social media or shopping. There is a place for all of those things - AFTER you have prioritised the thoughts, activities and connections that will propel you in the direction of your dreams!
So, for 2019 let's keep our eyes on the prize! At the end of each day, let's ask ourselves: how did I spend my time? did I make time for the things that are truly important to me? or did I allow my time to be absorbed with the other stuff?
When we get clear on our dreams, and conscious of how we spend our time, we can make amazing progress in creating the life of our dreams!
And you are NOT wasting your precious 8,760 hours by sleeping! Make sleep a priority too, and you will feel healthier and happier as you create your wonderful life in 2019!


Rebalancing restores an investment portfolio to its original target allocations. As prices of securities change over time, a user's initial target allocations will drift. This may result in a portfolio that no longer aligns with your risk profile or investing style. Rebalancing allows you to reallocate funds to keep your portfolio in line with your accepted risk tolerance and financial goals.
Please keep in mind that any time you rebalance your portfolio you will generally be initiating a series of buy and sell transactions. Usually every sale of a security has a tax effect which may be a gain or a loss.

Q: I2C bus slave powered before raspberry pi master I have a number of I2C slaves (PCF85063AT) connected a Raspberry Pi, which acts as master. For various reasons the I2C slaves are powered at all times, where the power to the Pi can be controlled on/off. Everytime I connect the system to power, the Raspberry Pi does not detect the PCF85063AT during boot. I can see it from the i2cdetect, but the driver does not load it initally during boot. To proper detect it I need the system to do a reboot.
When the systems are on different power sources (but share same common ground), do I need to add a I2C line buffer or what seems to be the issue here?
Thanks.

Have we gone mad? Why should the contemporary climate change policy-making should be characterised as increasingly delusional?
The twin propositions that two degrees Celsius (2°C) of global warming is an appropriate policy target, and that there is a significant carbon budget and an amount of "burnable carbon" for this target, and hence a scientifically-based escalating ladder of emission-reduction targets stretching to mid-century and beyond, underpin the climate policy-making.


Italian striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly split from his fiancée less than three months after proposing to her on a Brazilian beach.
The 24-year-old, who also split from AC Milan late last month and now plays for the English club Liverpool, left Belgian model Fanny Neguesha for a new flame, according to a report in the British tabloid The Sun.
"Mario has been telling mates in the North that he's split from Fanny," a source told The Sun.
"He's been bragging that he already has another woman in his life and said she is a gorgeous glamour model. So he's still definitely got a type."
La Repubblica reported that Neguesha and Balotelli had deleted eachother from their respective social media accounts, namely Instagram, while almost all photos of the pair posted online have been removed.
The reported split comes just three months after the footballer took to Instagram to announce their engagement ahead of Italy's first World Cup game against England, with a photo of Neguesha on the Brazilian beach where he proposed and her engagement ring, alongside the caption: "She said yes, the most important yes in my life."
Despite his off-pitch antics, Balotelli made a promising debut with Liverpool on Sunday, a match which saw his new team beat Tottenham 3-0.


LOS ANGELES – (Realty News Report) – Houston, after being the top real estate market in the nation in 2015, has dropped all the way to No. 60 in the Urban Land Institute's ranking and evaluation of the nation's best places for investment opportunity.
Seattle earned the top spot. Austin, which had been the leader for the last three years, fell to No. 2 and Dallas was No. 5.
The rankings are a part of the ULI's Emerging Trends in Real Estate report, an annual research piece based on input from hundreds of leaders in commercial real estate development, finance and brokerage, along with fund managers, lenders and advisors. The report is produced by ULI in conjunction with PwC US.
On the other hand, Salt Lake City, jumped to No. 3 as the smallest city ever to be in the Emerging Trends Top Ten.
The report was released Thursday at the ULI Fall Meeting in Los Angeles.
Houston's big drop was attributed to disruption in the energy industry, which brought on layoffs and a rise in vacancy and increase in sublease office space.
Editor's Note – Realty News Report is staffing this important event and will be filing updated news.

Dozens of manatees and hundreds of sea turtles have died in the longest-running red tide outbreak since 2006.
A toxic algae bloom sweeping Florida's southwest coast is being described as the worst in more than a decade, with the so-called red tide blanketing beaches in dead fish and killing sharks, manatees and endangered sea turtles.
The aggressive overgrowth, which occurs each year but intensifies with high temperatures, pollution and stagnant water, has become unusually strong since emerging in October, and has stretched into the longest outbreak since 2006, according to state wildlife officials.
Photos and videos posted to social media show beaches and shorelines covered in dead fish. In some areas, the water is completely coated in green, sickening animals and blocking submerged vegetation from receiving sunlight and adequate oxygen, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
During a public meeting on Tuesday to discuss efforts to combat the bloom in Cape Coral, jaws dropped when a manatee's body floated near the yacht club where the Army Corps of Engineers was hosting the session, the News-Press reported.
A boat sails through a deepening algae bloom across the Caloosahatchee River in Labelle, Florida, on June 27.
The dead female manatee was pulled to a dock so a necropsy can determine the cause of death, Michelle Kerr of the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's research institute told HuffPost on Wednesday.
The area has a high concentration of Karenia brevis, the algae species that causes red tides, Kerr said. Smaller manatees shown surrounding the dead female in a video were not calves, as speculated on social media, but were young males trying to mate with it, she added.
At least 80 manatees have died from red tide so far this year, according to online records kept by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. That's 13 more deaths than the total for all of last year. Records dating to 1996 show 277 manatee deaths in 2013, 151 in 1996, and 100 in 2003.
Other wildlife killed by the algae over the last several months include hammerhead sharks, at least one dolphin and at least one whale shark, according to online records.
Humans also have been sickened by the blooms.
According to Treasure Coast Newspapers, 15 people were recently treated at Martin Health System emergency rooms in Stuart over two days for symptoms consistent with algae toxins after coming in contact with the St. Lucie River, which is near West Palm Beach and Lake Okeechobee.
Inhaling, touching or ingesting the algae through contaminated water can cause respiratory illness, abdominal pain, vomiting, and neurologic effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eating contaminated fish or shellfish also can cause illness.
Work remains underway to remove the algae and decrease fertilizer runoff feeding its growth.

Lt. Col. Jennifer Reynolds, a deputy district engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers, told attendees at Tuesday's meeting in Cape Coral the corps is preparing to drain rising, algae-filled water from Lake Okeechobee into surrounding waterways to prevent overflow, despite residents' concerns.
The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission asks people to report fish kills to 800-636-0511, or other sick, injured or dead wildlife to 888-404-3922.

The 2nd factor to consider may be the status the cruiseship has. The majority of the comments are made by professionals in the market who know about ships and cruises. Luxury cruise ships which are old and vulnerable to damage ought to always be prevented. Also, ships where crime has happened ought to be prevented. A person must only use a cruise that they trust since they might be spending days or several weeks out at ocean around the ship.
The various stops that the cruiseship makes ought to be considered. Cruises visit different destinations around the world. You will find those who wouldn't be comfortable visiting certain ports. Other medication is searching for particular spots due to the beauty or uniqueness they offer. They ought to always go through the reviews to be able to be aware of exact spots before selecting the cruise they prefer.
Age groups along with the styles catered for ought to be checked out carefully. You will find luxury cruise ships that don't allow children aboard. Therefore, individuals who want to travel like a family won't be able to board this type of ship. In addition, certain ships have styles which are directed towards particular interests. Cruises which have sports styles with small golf and swimming areas won't be enjoyable for those who aren't sports enthusiasts.

Someone who reads cruise ship news can obtain a obvious picture of the items a particular cruise is much like. This helps them to select the specific cruise before they swipe their card or open their wallet.

UK arms to Saudi Arabia: Amnesty joins this week's appeal case
08 Apr 2019, 11:20am
Amnesty took a replica Typhoon to parliament last month to mark four years of civilian deaths from Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen © Jon Cornejo/Amnesty International UK
Court of Appeal set to hear case from Campaign Against the Arms Trade - with intervention from Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and Rights Watch UK
'By selling billions of pounds worth of arms to Saudi Arabia, ministers are signing a death warrant for the people of Yemen' - Lucy Claridge
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Rights Watch UK will tomorrow join a fresh legal challenge to the UK's continuing arms exports to Saudi Arabia
The three organisations are intervening in a case brought by Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT) at the Court of Appeal in London seeking to challenge the legality of the UK Government's decision to issue licences for arms exports to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen, despite the risk of the weapons being used for serious violations of international humanitarian law in the conflict.
The case was originally heard by the High Court in February 2017, with CAAT arguing that arms transfers to Saudi Arabia should be halted because of the clear risk that the weapons supplied would be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law in Yemen. However, the court dismissed CAAT's case, ruling in July that year that the UK was entitled to continue authorising arms exports to Saudi Arabia.
Among other things, the High Court ruling (paragraph 209) discussed the significance of the "finely-balanced" nature of the decision said to be confronting officials and ministers.
Having been given permission to appeal the ruling in May 2018, CAAT's case is being heard by the Court of Appeal from 9 to 11 April. Amnesty's joint intervention focuses on how a clear risk is determined, the authoritative nature of NGO research reports and the value they have in making such a determination.
Since a Saudi Arabia-led military Coalition entered the Yemen conflict four years ago, more than 17,640 people have been killed or injured. The United Nations assesses that the majority of casualties are the result of Coalition bombing, with Saudi-led forces carrying out scores of indiscriminate and disproportionate airstrikes - hitting homes, schools, hospitals, markets, mosques, weddings and funerals. To date, Amnesty has documented 41 Coalition airstrikes that appear to have violated international humanitarian law, many of which amount to war crimes. These have resulted in at least 512 civilian deaths and 433 civilian injuries.
Meanwhile, a man-made humanitarian crisis has spiralled in Yemen, with approximately 14 million people in the country currently at risk of starvation.
Lucy Claridge, Amnesty International's Director of Strategic Litigation, said:
"How many more people must die before the UK Government admits it is in the wrong?
"The people of Yemen are being killed and are at serious risk of famine because of the Saudi Arabia-led Coalition's relentless bombing campaign that has been made possible by British arms and equipment.
"By selling billions of pounds worth of arms to Saudi Arabia, ministers are signing a death warrant for the people of Yemen.
"Across Europe, several countries have stopped selling arms to Saudi Arabia because they know it goes against their legal obligations and have seen the devastation they are causing.
"It is time for the UK Government to stop putting profit before people's lives."
UK out of step
The UK's failure to suspend arms exports to Saudi Arabia appears largely out of step with actions taken by other states in Europe. Several countries - including the Netherlands, Belgium (Flemish region) and Greece - have responded to public pressure by partly or totally suspending arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (a prominent members of the military Coalition).
Other countries - such as Austria, Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland - have put in place restrictive measures on Saudi exports. In the aftermath of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, several European countries also announced they would be suspending arms transfers to Saudi Arabia, including Germany, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
Extensive and credible reports, including Amnesty's own research in Yemen, have demonstrated that British-made weapons have been used repeatedly - and continue to be used - to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law, including possible war crimes. According to publicly-available information, Saudi Arabia has failed to adequately investigate these violations, nor has it held those responsible to account. As such, there is a clear risk that authorising further arms exports would lead to further serious violations in Yemen, and would be counter to the UK's obligations under domestic and international law.
Amnesty and others have documented how all sides to the conflict in Yemen have committed serious breaches of international humanitarian law, including possible war crimes. This includes the Huthi armed group and allied forces which have also indiscriminately fired explosive munitions with wide-area effects - including mortars and artillery shells - into residential areas, killing and injuring civilians.

Jeff Mitchell: Can health jobs save local economy?
The optimistic and forward-looking program teaches these youngsters — often beaten down by the circumstances of their impoverished lives — that they can be successful.
Jeff MItchell, Civic Chronicles
There's no way around it — Salinas is a city filled with great people who care deeply about their families and the place they live.
But Salinas is also a place beset with terrible rates of youth-on-youth gun violence, profound community health issues, grinding poverty and food insecurity.
Local politicians — some even this week — were busy blaming parents for not stepping up enough to help control the rampant and dangerous juvenile delinquency we experience.
But what some of these alleged leaders don't understand is that it's unfair just to blame parents when those parents are working three jobs just to pay the rent and put food on the table.
And while City Hall's soul is heavily mortgaged with this whole "ag-tech" marriage, I remain more convinced than ever that the key to Salinas' economic recovery is in giving our kids the education and vocational training that will guarantee them access to local jobs like those found in the healthcare sector -- and not necessarily ag or hospitality.
That's where the Salinas Valley Health Professions Pathways Partnership program comes in.
From what is clearly a tortured title comes a program that firmly guides kids in Salinas through their schooling -- from kindergarten through college, From the start It ushers and orientates about what careers in healthcare could be like. It exposes them to how a carefully tailored education can land them a good-paying job as a nurse, dental technician or respiratory therapist.
Language translations improve farmworker health care
Meet Angelica Gomez.
Gomez is a 26-year-old Salinas single mom who has long been part of the Pathways program. She is now only a few semesters away from getting her bachelor's degree in nursing offered by Hartnell College and Cal State University, Monterey Bay.
"I'm doing this for myself and for my son," said Gomez, who already has a physical therapy certificate to her name. "The Pathways program is for real. It has helped me break free from the cycle of poverty that I was in. I'm so grateful the program exists."
And, once Gomez lands a permanent job locally, the program will continue to monitor her progress through her first year of employment.
The Pathways program, now in its fifth year, is the recipient of a $3 million-plus grant from The California Endowment, the same non-profit, non-partisan foundation supporting community health reporting here at The Salinas Californian.
The program describes itself as a collaboration of key community stakeholders representing K-12, higher education, alternative education programs, healthcare employers, the local Workforce Development Board, Boys and Men of Color advocates and other local leaders who seek to create a "locally grown" and "locally prepared" healthcare workforce.
Jeff Mitchell: Gun violence is very much a health issue
Hartnell College, the Endowment and the Endowment's Building Healthy Communities consortium collectively manage the Pathways effort, which is headquartered at the college.
With the start of school throughout the county comes the arrival of La'Quana Williams, the Pathway program's newly named full-time manager.
Williams, 30, received her BA from San Diego State University and a Master's Degree in Public Health from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles.
"As a first-generation college graduate, I understand the challenges students face entering college from disadvantaged communities and school systems," she said. "Inspiring students to pursue health care related field's addresses the root cause issue of many of the negative health outcomes in our country — most notably, poverty."
Though Monterey County is known for its aforementioned agriculture and hospitality sectors, it turns out that we have a growing healthcare industry, Williams said.
"The second largest employer in Monterey County is the health care and social assistance sector, supporting 17,000 jobs or 8.1% of the region's total employment," she said. "(Moreover) health-related education at a community college level is one of the few fields where students can earn a two-year degree or credential and make a middle-class or living wage."
Just settling in, Williams says she first wants to make the program more employer-driven so that it always meets industry needs in real-time conditions.
Williams said that she also hopes to establish a public health-oriented program at Hartnell that will help students of color tackle the often feared math and science requirements demanded from a four-year university program where they will matriculate.
She said she wants to infuse the transfer program with a focus on social justice, as well.
"The social justice component of public health inspired me to pursue this field even though I had a fear of math and science the way so many of our students do," Williams said. "Public health is a great field for all students, but especially students of color from disadvantaged backgrounds because it gives them the opportunity to improve population health as a whole as opposed to treating one individual at a time."
I've written about the city's quest to marry Silicon Valley with the Salinas Valley going back now almost five years. Clearly, "ag-tech" is a big, ambitious idea. And, who knows, maybe someday it will even happen.
In the meantime, we all need to be thinking about creating a new economy that doesn't depend on ag or tourism -- and the often poor wages those industries traditionally have offered.
We need an expeditious third route to help establish a true middle-class economy and a more widely shared and better quality of life here in this great city and this beautiful county. I think the Pathways program may just well be that route.

BinG's Harmony College is organised under a special motto every year and this year's 4-day event could hardly have been better described: New Horizons - Sing, love, grow.
Spring cleaning... is too small an expression for the general overhaul of the new BinG! web presence. "The impression we want to give visitors of our web pages is to be more modern and the information presented in a clearer way. Also the member area is quite dusty, the structure rather confusing and the maintenance awkward ", explains webmaster Thomas Wardin.
The BinG! board is pleased to announce that for the first time in the history of Barbershop there will be a World Mixed Championship of quartets and choruses at BMF2018.
It will take off soon: under the motto "New Horizons - SinG! Love! Grow!" the annual Harmony College will take place, combined with the Quartet College and the Youth Camp. A wide range of courses will be offered, led by national and international coaches.

.. _executors:

Executors
=========

``rechunker`` plans can be executed by a variety of executors. The default is ``dask``, which executes the plan on a Dask cluster.

For example, we can use :ref:`rechunker.executors.python.PythonExecutor` to execute a plan as a simple Python for loop, which might be useful for debugging.

.. code-block:: python

  >>> import zarr
  >>> from rechunker import rechunk
  >>> source = zarr.ones((4, 4), chunks=(2, 2), store="source.zarr")
  >>> intermediate = "intermediate.zarr"
  >>> target = "target.zarr"
  >>> rechunked = rechunk(
  ...    source, target_chunks=(4, 1), target_store=target,
  ...    max_mem=256000000, temp_store=intermediate,
  ...    executor="python"
  ... )
  >>> rechunked.execute()

.. note::

   Most executors will require installing additional optional
   dependencies.

See :ref:`api.executors` for a list of all the different executors.
