Christine Quinn's Budget Reform Achievements
Posted on June 19, 2008 By Dirk Mccall
BY DIRK MCCALL | There has been much coverage recently of budget practices at the City Council, especially focusing on member items and the allocation of funding to not-for-profit and community-based organizations. While there have undoubtedly been some abuses – there will be in any system – folks are missing the larger picture and not seeing the full impact of what has been taking place at the City Council.
I write as a former chief of staff to a member of the Council, who has sat through many budget hearings and meetings, and as a longtime activist in the LGBT community. I want to highlight the reforms that Speaker Christine Quinn has introduced, reforms that bring a greater degree of transparency to the process while ensuring that local community organizations are still able to secure financial support for their worthy programs and initiatives.
Speaker Quinn has worked diligently to increase transparency and promote accountability. Working with other reformers in the Council, she created the policy under which the names of Council members would be attached to items in the budget for which they had sought funding.
Among the new standards the speaker has introduced are increasing pre-clearance and disclosure requirements for organizations requesting funding. Organizations now have to certify that they are in compliance with state and federal law, document past compliance with contracts, and demonstrate a track record of providing the services for which they are requesting funds. They must also provide conflict-of-interest disclosure forms, ensuring that any relationships between their organizations and the decision-makers on the Council and in the city government are made public prior to funding determinations being made.
In addition, the speaker has instituted safeguards for the use of any fiscal conduit that may receive appropriations on behalf of groups being funded, broadened the data included in budget documents, and created the post of Independent Compliance Officer within the City Council's Division of Finance. That compliance officer, whom the speaker will not be able to fire at will, will have an appointment that spans the terms of two successive Council speakers, and will be responsible for ensuring that all new regulations and transparency provisions are implemented and adhered to.
With transparency comes accountability, and Quinn should be commended for not only talking the talk, but also walking the walk. She has set a new standard for good government and accountability in the allocation of city funds. The creation of a pre-clearance requirement ensures that only valid and law-abiding organizations will be able to seek support, and all New Yorkers should thank the speaker for her leadership on these thoughtful and innovative reforms.
It's difficult to overestimate the importance of local organizations being able to continue turning to our elected officials in times of need or for assistance with worthy projects. Voters hear the words "member item" and may be confused – too few realize that these are the funds that keep the local Little League in uniforms, help the neighborhood senior center provide hot lunches, and provide the additional trashcans keeping our streets clean and litter-free. This funding helps worthy not-for-profits provide free educational forums, after-school programs, arts education for our children, and innovative new HIV prevention programs.
Discretionary funding plays an important role in our local communities and the abolition of it, as some newspapers have advocated, would be problematic. Local elected officials know their districts, and know which organizations and programs are doing good work and may be in need of assistance.
Creating competitive bidding processes might sound laudable, but many observers in a position to know point out that this would likely only reward groups that hire better grant writers – not necessarily the groups doing the best, most necessary, and most innovative work. Maintaining the ability of local elected officials to apply their informed discretion allows them to channel funding to groups serving the needs and community interests of their district.
Thankfully, Speaker Quinn has stepped up to the plate and is working with notable civic leaders like Citizens Union and the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) to ensure that the allocation of government funding is carried out in an open and transparent manner that demands accountability. With Quinn's reforms, the New York City Council sets a standard worthy of emulation by other legislative bodies while also ensuring that worthy organizations and programs are not cut off from the support they need to thrive.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -New York state's attorney general has accused Donald Trump's family business of repeatedly misrepresenting the value of its assets to obtain financial benefits, citing what it said was significant new evidence of possible fraud. The accusations by Attorney General Letitia James mark a substantial escalation of her civil probe into the Republican former U.S. president's business, the Trump Organization, and the roles of his adult children.

Q: How Databinding is implemented/handled under the hood Just for sake of curiosity, i am investigating on how databindigs is implemented in the Winform application.
For example i have one gridview (2 columns) with a DataSource associated (a list of touple of strings) then when i change the selected row in the form i would update value in two textbox (one textbox per column).
I have learned that i can achieve this with Databindings and all seems to work fine (e.g. below) :
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private List<Tuple<string, string>> _datasource = new List<Tuple<string, string>>(new Tuple<string, string>[] {
        new Tuple<string, string> ( "C1 First row" , "C2 First row"),
        new Tuple<string, string> ( "C1 Second row" , "C2 Second row"),
        new Tuple<string, string> ( "C1 Third row" , "C2 Third row"),
        new Tuple<string, string> ( "C1 Fourth row" , "C2 Fourth row")
    });

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.grdTest.DataSource = _datasource;

        this.txtC1.DataBindings.Add("Text", _datasource, "Item1");
        this.txtC2.DataBindings.Add("Text", _datasource, "Item2");
    }
}

What is not clear to me is how the framework keep track of the fact that the row is changed (and which is the selected row).
In the databinding statement i don't specifify which is the table and the datasource (a simple list) surely does not keep track of the selected item.
So the way used to get things done is completly obsucre to me.
Please can someone clarify that aspect to me?

Weather plays a big role in the Airbus Test Flight Activity. To make it easier to track operational Flight Data, I have created an Interactive Map that can overlay multiple parameters, such as Weather as well as Today's and Yesterday's Test Flight Activity. Additionally, LIVE Airbus & Beluga Flights are shown, thanks to the Opensky Network.
This is not a feature used by Airbus itself, but rather developed to visualize meteorological data along with flight data from the project.
On all of the Airport Pages, undereanth the simple map you'll see a new link called "View Flight Operations Map". This will launch the new Interactive Map, where you can overlay any of the Weather Layers, such as Current Radar, SIGMETs and nearby Current Weather conditions.
These current conditions are based on METAR observations and are indicated on the map as their respective Flight Category: VFR (Green), MVFR (Blue), IFR (Red) and LIFR (Magenta). This will make it much easier to determine which area is currently receiving good weather conditions and which area is receiving bad weather conditions. You can also click on any of the Airport markers to get more details of the current conditions, including Wind Direction and Speed, Temperature and Cloud Type & Base.
Additionally, a new "dark mode" map type will be available. Each Weather Layer updates automatically every 10 minutes, so you can just leave the page , on a big screen for example, for always be up-to-date.
Besides Weather Layers, by default it will show the LIVE positions of Airbus Test Flights, Airbus Beluga Flights, Airbus Charter Flights and Delivery Flights. You can also overlay any imported Test Flights, either by MSN number or any Date.

At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city.
They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources. Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R.
Tolkien, it was `the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.

This court concluded that citizen groups (plaintiffs) lacked standing to appeal from a decision of the defendant town board of health (board) approving a minor modification to the site assignment for an existing landfill and related processing facility in that town under G. L. c. 111, § 150A, where, although the plaintiffs qualified as interveners before the board, the record of the proceeding (a nonadjudicatory proceeding involving claims of damage to the environment, in which the plaintiffs acquired party status automatically and not through an individualized determination by the board) did not support a conclusion that any of the plaintiffs would suffer prejudice to their individual rights [555-562]; at any rate, their substantive challenges to the decision lacked merit [562-564].

BOTSFORD, J. In July of 2008, the plaintiffs filed an appeal in the Superior Court from a decision of the defendant board of health of Southbridge (board) approving a "minor modification" to the site assignment for an existing landfill and related processing facility in that town under G. L. c. 111, § 150A (§ 150A). [Note 3] The plaintiffs brought their appeal pursuant to G. L. c. 30A, § 14. In response to a motion to dismiss, two judges in the Superior Court ruled that as parties before the board, the plaintiffs had standing to bring their complaint for judicial review to the Superior Court. However, the second judge (motion judge) concluded that the plaintiffs' challenges to the board'sdecision failed on the merits. Final judgment entered on December 16, 2009, affirming the board's decision.
1. Background. The basic background facts are not in dispute. [Note 5] The defendant Southbridge Recycling and Disposal Park, Inc. (SRDP), operates a landfill and an associated processing facility at 165 Barefoot Road in Southbridge. On February 27, 2008, SRDP filed an application for a minor modification of its existing site assignment with the board pursuant to § 150A and 310 Code Mass. Regs. §§ 16.00 (2001), the implementing regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection (department). At that time, SRDP was operating both the landfill and the processing facility under a site assignment decision of the board issued in April, 1999. [Note 6] The minor modification SRDP requested had two components: (1) to reallocate a specified number of tons per year of waste from the processing facility to the landfill, thereby increasing the volume of waste accepted by the landfill and decreasing by a corresponding amount the volume of waste accepted by the processing facility; and (2) to allow the landfill to accept waste from the processing facility regardless of its geographic origin.
2. Timeliness of the plaintiffs' notice of appeal. a. Facts. The Superior Court judgment entered on December 16, 2009. Under Mass. R. A. P. 4 (a), as amended, 430 Mass. 1603 (1999), the plaintiffs were required to file their notice of appeal in the Superior Court within thirty days of that date. [Note 8] The plaintiffs apparently mailed their notice of appeal to the Superior Court on January 15, 2010, but the court did not receive or docket the notice until January 19 (January 18 was a holiday), more than thirty days after the date of the judgment.
moved to dismiss the appeal based on what they claimed was the late filing of the notice of appeal. On June 4, 2010, a single justice of the Appeals Court entered an order denying the motion and stating that the untimely filing "may be raised as an issue in appellee's brief."
b. Discussion. SRDP and the board press their claim that the plaintiffs' appeal must be dismissed because the motion judge lacked authority to allow the plaintiffs' motion to enlarge the time for filing the notice of appeal. We reject that argument.
The judgment entered on December 16, 2009. To be timely under Mass. R. A. P. 4 (a), the notice of appeal was required to be "filed with the clerk of the lower court" within thirty days, i.e., on or before January 15, 2010. The plaintiffs did not file their notice within that period. While it appears the notice was mailed on Friday, January 15, 2010, it was not received by the court, and therefore it was not "filed with the clerk," until January 19, 2010. [Note 10] See Garrett v. Director of Div. of Employment Sec., 394 Mass. 417 , 420 (1985) (filing and mailing are distinct concepts). It was therefore a few days late. Nonetheless, the motion judge was authorized by Mass. R. A. P. 4 (c), "[u]pon a showing of excusable neglect . . . [to] extend the time for filing the notice of appeal . . . for a period not to exceed thirty days from the expiration" of the initial thirty-day appeal period. Because the plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal on January 19, they only required a four-day extension -- well within the judge's authority -- to render timely their notice of appeal filed on that date.
permitted for an extension under rule 4. [Note 12] What is critical is that the actual notice of appeal is filed within that time. In other words, the limitation in rule 4 is a limitation on the length of the extension of time that the judge is empowered to grant for filing the notice of appeal itself; the limitation does not restrict the period in which the judge may act or prescribe when a motion to enlarge time may be filed.
turn now to the question whether the plaintiffs qualify as "aggrieved" parties with standing to bring this appeal.
After the plaintiffs filed their complaint for judicial review in the Superior Court, SRDP and the board moved to dismiss, claiming that the plaintiffs were not persons "aggrieved" by the board's final decision, and therefore lacked standing to bring an action under G. L. c. 30A, § 14, and § 150A. A Superior Court judge other than the motion judge denied the defendants' motion, reasoning that because the plaintiffs had been afforded full party status in the board's proceedings, they were entitled automatically to bring an action for judicial review of the board's decision as "aggrieved" persons. Later, in ruling on the plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the pleadings, the motion judge rejected the defendants' argument that the plaintiffs lacked standing for the same reason.
b. Discussion. To set a framework for consideration of the standing issue, we begin with a review of the pertinent statutory and regulatory provisions.
As the statutory provisions just quoted indicate, understanding the meaning of the term "person . . . aggrieved" in c. 30A, § 14, is critical. "In order to maintain an action for review [under c. 30A, § 14], a party must be aggrieved in a 'legal sense' and show that 'substantial rights' have been 'prejudiced.' " Group Ins. Comm'n v. Labor Relations Comm'n, 381 Mass. 199 , 202-203 (1980), quoting Duato v. Commissioner of Pub. Welfare, 359 Mass. 635 , 637-638 (1971). [Note 20] Cf. Ginther v. Commissioner of Ins., 427 Mass. 319 , 323-324 (1998) (participants in public hearing held on proposed insurance company merger did not have standing to seek judicial review because, inter alia, there was no showing they suffered "direct and certain injury" from commissioner's decision and therefore were persons aggrieved).
borne out by the record in this case -- the board makes no individualized determination of how the specific group or any of its members may be affected by the proceeding, but is directed by the regulation to treat the group as a full party simply because it is a citizen group.
them, and it is appropriate to bring a final resolution to this case. See Wellesley College v. Attorney Gen., 313 Mass. 722 , 731 (1943).
4. Merits. At issue is the board's decision to grant SRDP a minor modification to its existing site assignment. [Note 29] The burden is on the plaintiffs, as the challenging parties, to prove that the decision is not supported by substantial evidence, based on error of law, arbitrary or capricious, or an abuse of discretion. G. L. c. 30A, § 14 (7). "In our review of administrative agency decisions, we generally defer to the experience, technical competence, specialized knowledge, and discretionary authority of the agency." Heublein, Inc. v. Capital Distrib. Co., 434 Mass. 698 , 705 (2001), citing Seagram Distillers Co. v. Alcoholic Beverages Control Comm'n, 401 Mass. 713 , 721 (1988).
The plaintiffs assert that the board's decision should be reversed because it is based on two errors of law. In particular, they claim that the board (1) erroneously expanded the acreage that previously had been site assigned, based on SRDP's misrepresentation of that area in its application for a minor modification; and (2) incorrectly approved a modification for the processing facility even though that facility is not (a) located on land that was properly site assigned, or (b) a permitted accessory use of an existing site assigned area. These claims are without merit.
located on land that was site assigned either in 1979 or in 1999. The plaintiffs argue that only 20.6 acres of land was site assigned in the 1979 site assignment. However, that site assignment was not for a specifically delineated acreage, but for "a tract of land presently owned by George Corriveau in the Barefoot Road section of Southbridge." In 1979, before the town of Southbridge changed its boundaries (see St. 1993, c. 210), the tract in question was approximately sixty-four acres. The site assignment designated 20.6 acres of it for waste disposal, but the over-all site assignment was for the bigger tract, namely, the full sixty-four acres of land previously owned by Corriveau and located in Southbridge. [Note 30] With respect to 1999, the plaintiffs similarly confuse the acreage designated for waste disposal with the entire portion of land being site assigned. [Note 31] SRDP did not misrepresent the acreage of site assigned land in the 2008 request for minor modification at issue here, and the board did not make its decision based on an incorrect determination of that acreage.
310 Code Mass. Regs. § 16.21(3)(a) (1994) ( "Recycling or composting may be approved at any assigned, permitted active disposal or handling facility without requiring a new or modified site assignment when such activity is integrated into the assigned solid waste management operation and the tonnage limits . . ."). [Note 32] Substantial evidence in the record, including the department's site suitability report prepared in connection with the earlier, 1999 application for a major modification to the 1979 site assignment, shows that the processing facility was designed to increase recycling and would be integrated into the existing landfill facility. Furthermore, in connection with the review it undertook in 2008 (see note 30, supra), the department concluded that the board's approval of the name change for the landfill facility (see note 32, supra) was proper and the processing facility was not operating without a valid site assignment.
The plaintiffs' final argument is that the modification sought by SRDP in 2008 in substance was a "major" modification, and the board improperly treated it as a "minor" modification, thereby permitting SRDP to avoid the more rigorous review that § 150A and the department's regulations called for. The claim cannot succeed because it necessarily depends on acceptance of the plaintiffs' position that the landfill and processing facilities currently operate on land that has not properly been site assigned -- a position that we have rejected.
5. Conclusion. For the reasons discussed in this opinion, the judgment of the Superior Court is vacated, and the case is remanded to that court for entry of a judgment of dismissal for lack of standing.

[Note 3] The original plaintiffs in the Superior Court included the board of health of Sturbridge, the twenty-eight ten-citizen groups, and the individuals named in note 1, supra. Two weeks after the complaint was filed, the board of health of Sturbridge voluntarily dismissed its claims with prejudice and is not a party to this appeal. The plaintiffs indicate in their brief that Ann Fenwick-Beinema and Larry Beinema also are not parties to the appeal.
[Note 4] We acknowledge the amicus briefs of the Attorney General, National Solid Wastes Management, Conservation Law Foundation, Toxics Action Center, and Charles River Watershed Association.
[Note 5] The facts stated here are taken primarily from the decision of the second Superior Court judge (motion judge) on the plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the pleadings.
[Note 6] The decision had been appealed to the Superior Court, and the matter was settled pursuant to an agreement for judgment in June, 2000.
[Note 7] We set out additional background facts in connection with the specific issues discussed infra.
[Note 8] Rule 4 (a) of the Massachusetts Rules of Appellate Procedure, as amended, 430 Mass. 1603 (1999), provides in relevant part: "In a civil case, unless otherwise provided by statute, the notice of appeal . . . shall be filed with the clerk of the lower court within thirty days of the date of the entry of the judgment appealed from . . . ."
[Note 9] Rule 4 (c) of the Massachusetts Rules of Appellate Procedure, as appearing in 378 Mass. 928 (1979), provides: "Upon a showing of excusable neglect, the lower court may extend the time for filing the notice of appeal by any party for a period not to exceed thirty days from the expiration of the time otherwise prescribed by this rule. Such an extension may be granted before or after the time otherwise prescribed by this rule has expired; but if a request for an extension is made after such time has expired, it shall be made by motion with such notice as the lower court shall deem appropriate."
[Note 10] January 18, 2010, was a legal holiday.
[Note 11] The plaintiffs argue in their reply brief that the late filing of the notice of appeal on January 19, 2010, acted as a motion to extend the time to file the notice of appeal under rule 4 (c). That is incorrect. A notice of appeal, without more, is not a motion. Moreover, it is clear that the motion judge did not treat the plaintiffs' January 19 notice of appeal as a motion to enlarge the time for filing, because she asked the plaintiffs to make an oral motion to enlarge at the March 23 hearing.
[Note 12] It behooves an appellant to move under rule 4 (c) to extend the time for filing as promptly as possible after a timeliness issue comes to light. It would be for the motion judge hearing the motion to consider in the first instance whether deliberate delay in filing such a motion should be considered. We express no view on that point at this time.
[Note 13] Dicta to the contrary in a rescript opinion of the Appeals Court, Shaev v. Alvord, 66 Mass. App. Ct. 910 , 910 (2006), is an incorrect statement of the law.
[Note 14] Rule 4 (c) requires that a motion to file a late notice of appeal be predicated on a showing of excusable neglect. After a hearing, the motion judge found that there was excusable neglect in this case. The defendants have not challenged that finding on appeal.
"We, the undersigned residents of Southbridge, Sturbridge, and Charlton, with good cause hereby register to be a Party and petition to be a Ten Citizen Group Intervener in the above-described proceeding and to be represented by the Authorized Representative named above. [The plaintiffs' counsel, Kirstie L. Pecci, is the listed Authorized Representative on each form.] We live in the vicinity of the Southbridge Landfill and are substantially and specifically affected by the expansion of the landfill and its conversion from construction and demolition (C&D) to municipal solid waste (MSW) because it will: (a) cause an increase of noxious and foul smelling gases affecting residential areas for miles[;] (b) increase truck traffic on highways and side streets that emit strong odors, contaminated water and windblown litter causing a danger to public health & safety; (c) cause inevitable drinking water contamination [;] (d) devalue area homes. We make this statement under the pains and penalty of perjury."
"1. Abutters. Any abutter or group of abutters to the proposed facility shall be a Party to the hearing by timely submission of a Party Registration Statement in accordance with 310 [Code Mass. Regs. §] 16.20(9)(b).
"2. Ten Citizens Groups. Any group of ten or more persons may register collectively as a Party to the public hearing in which damage to the environment, as defined in [G. L.] c. 214, § 7A, or public health and safety are or might be at issue; provided, however, that such intervention shall be limited to the issues of impacts to public health, safety and damage to the environment and the elimination or reduction thereof in order that any decision in the public hearing shall include the disposition of such issue.
"(c) Rights of Intervenors. Any person permitted to intervene shall have all rights of, and be subject to, all limitations imposed upon a Party, however, the Hearing Officer may exclude repetitive or irrelevant material. Every Petition to intervene shall be treated as a petition in the alternative to participate."
[Note 17] The participation rights of a "party" in a site assignment proceeding are not defined in 310 Code Mass. Regs. § 16.20(9), but are set out in § 16.20(10)(e) ("All Parties shall have the right to present evidence, cross-examine, make objections and make oral arguments").
[Note 18] As discussed infra, we read the provisions of 310 Mass. Code Regs. § 16.20(9)(a) just described to mean that ten-citizen groups such as the plaintiffs are entitled to full party status in the board's proceeding solely by virtue of their citizen group status, with no requirement for an individualized determination of how the landfill facility that is the subject of the public hearing will affect any of the citizen groups' members.
[Note 19] Section 14 goes on to provide that "[a]ll parties to the proceeding before the agency shall have the right to intervene in the proceeding for review," (emphasis added), see G. L. c. 30A, § 14 (2), but the right to bring the proceeding for review is restricted to a person "aggrieved" by the administrative agency's final decision. G. L. c. 111, § 150A.
[Note 20] The court further stated: "Not every person whose interests might conceivably be adversely affected is entitled to [judicial] review. . . . '[I]n many, if not most, circumstances, the injury complained of may be too remote to make the party seeking review a "person aggrieved." ' " (Citation omitted.) Group Ins. Comm'n v. Labor Relations Comm'n, 381 Mass. 199 , 204 (1980), quoting Boston Edison Co. v. Boston Redevelopment Auth., 374 Mass. 37 , 46 (1977).
[Note 21] The Superior Court judge who denied the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint relied on Save the Bay, Inc. v. Department of Pub. Utils., 366 Mass. 667 (1975), in concluding that persons such as the plaintiffs here, who have been granted full party status before the administrative agency, have standing to seek judicial review as "aggrieved person[s]." That judge, as well as the motion judge, also cited Andover v. Energy Facilities Siting Bd., 435 Mass. 377 , 378 n.3 (2001), for the same proposition. In the Andover case, the court noted that there was no challenge to the plaintiffs' standing, see id., but the court's opinion might be read as supporting the view that full party status before the administrative agency allows an intervener to appeal from the agency's decision as an aggrieved party or person.
[Note 22] At the same time, we have made the point that full intervention as a party in an adjudicatory proceeding does not translate automatically into being "aggrieved" by the agency's decision. See, e.g., Boston Gas Co. v. Department of Pub. Utils., 368 Mass. 780 , 805 (1975). See also American Hoechest Corp. v. Department of Pub. Utils., 379 Mass. 408 , 410-411 (1980) (while appellants were clearly "parties," not as clear they were "aggrieved" by challenged decision of agency; however, because they would be required to bear part of economic burden of agency's decision, court concluded they had standing to bring appeal).
" 'Public Hearings' pursuant to [G. L.] c. 30A are not 'Adjudicatory Proceedings' within the meaning of [G. L.] c. 30A, § 1. See [G. L.] c. 30A, § 2. Pursuant to [G. L.] c. 111, § 150A [§ 150A], however, 'for the limited purpose of appeal from such public hearings, a local board of health shall be deemed to be a state agency under the provisions of said [c. 30A] and its proceedings and decision shall be deemed to be a final decision in an adjudicatory proceeding.' The public hearing process is designed to permit the flexibility and informality appropriate to the board of health proceeding, while providing the board of health with procedural direction and the authority to create a record and render a decision within a limited time period which is amenable to the procedures and the standards of judicial review applicable under [G. L.] c. 30A, § 14."
[Note 24] In other contexts, we have recognized that participation in an administrative decision-making process that is not an adjudicatory proceeding, while enabling the administrative agency to receive information from a broad range of sources, does not necessarily give the participant the right to seek judicial review. See, e.g., Enos v. Secretary of Envt'l Affairs, 432 Mass. 132 , 137-139 (2000) (participation in environmental review before Secretary of Environmental Affairs encourages full disclosure of environmental impacts of proposed project, but does not allow participants to challenge Secretary's decision). See also School Comm. of Hudson v. Board of Educ., 448 Mass. 565 , 577-578 (2007) (charter school application process requires public hearing at which plaintiffs participated, but that fact did not entitle them to appeal from board's decision to grant charter; process allows public to be informed and to comment on application, but final decision is legislative in nature and rests with board).
[Note 25] Goldberg v. Board of Health of Granby, 444 Mass. 627 (2005), was a case, like this one, involving a challenge to a board of health's landfill siting decision. The plaintiffs in the Goldberg case were not citizens groups but individuals who had participated in the administrative proceedings before the board of health. Id. at 627 n.1. The court discussed the need of the plaintiffs to establish that they were "aggrieved" by the board of health's decision within the meaning of G. L. c. 30A, § 14, but then assumed without deciding that the individual plaintiffs had done so because they were "close neighbors of the landfill, who complained of the negative impacts of an enlarged landfill on their health and property." Id. at 631-632 n.8.
[Note 26] In addition to Southbridge, some citizen group members live in Sturbridge, some in Charlton, and at least one in Brimfield.
[Note 27] The defendants state in their brief that this court "has expressly ruled that the aggrievement standard in site assignment cases reviewed under [G. L. c.] 30A follows the standard established in zoning appeals under [G. L. c.] 40A, § 17." That is not the case. Citation to two zoning cases for illustrative purposes in a footnote in Goldberg v. Board of Health of Granby, 444 Mass. at 631-632 n.8, does not reflect a holding that the determination whether one qualifies as a "person aggrieved" for purposes of bringing an appeal under c. 30A, § 14, is identical to deciding whether a person is "aggrieved" for purposes of appealing from a zoning decision under G. L. c. 40A, § 17. The Zoning Act, G. L. c. 40A, seeks to advance and protect interests different from G. L. c. 111, § 150A, and certainly judicial review of an agency decision under c. 30A, § 14, is very different from judicial review of a local zoning board's decision under c. 40A, § 17: review under c. 30A, § 14, is confined to the administrative record, and applies a substantial evidence test; c. 40A, § 17, requires the reviewing judge to hear evidence and find facts de novo, including facts related to standing. See Kenner v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Chatham, 459 Mass. 115 , 117-120 (2011). See also Marashlian v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Newburyport, 421 Mass. 719 , 721 (1996).
[Note 28] In her argument before the court, the plaintiffs' counsel adopted a position advocated by the amici Conservation Law Foundation and Charles River Watershed Association, to the effect that as citizen groups the plaintiffs had standing to appeal under G. L. c. 30A, § 10A. That section provides in pertinent part that "not less than ten persons may intervene in any adjudicatory proceeding as defined in [G. L. c. 30A, § 1], in which damage to the environment . . . is or might be at issue . . . . Any such intervener shall be considered a party to the original proceeding for the purposes of notice and any other procedural rights applicable to such proceeding . . . including specifically the right of appeal." (Emphases added.) Id. The position now advanced by the plaintiffs must fail, however, because as discussed in the text, supra, the board's proceeding under § 150A was not an adjudicatory proceeding, but rather involved a public hearing. The fact that under § 150A, "[f]or the limited purposes" of an appeal, the board's final decision is "deemed to be a final decision in an adjudicatory proceeding," id., does not change the nature or character of the board's proceeding itself.
[Note 29] The owner or operator of a landfill or other facility located on an existing assigned site may seek a major or minor modification of the site assignment. A major modification is one that expands the volume of waste disposed of at an existing facility, expands the site vertically beyond the previously approved limits, or requests a different use from the assigned solid waste activity, subject to a list of exceptions. See 310 Code Mass. Regs. § 16.22(2), citing § 16.21(1), (3). A minor modification includes a request to modify a site assignment that would not be considered a major modification or a modification due to a threat to public health, safety, or the environment. See 310 Code Mass. Regs. § 16.22(1), (3).
A request for a major modification requires that the applicant submit to the local board of health a new site assignment application and a positive site suitability determination by the department, and then participate in a public hearing conducted by the local board. See 310 Code Mass. Regs. §§ 16.22(2), 16.08, 16.20. As stated earlier, an application for a minor modification requires only that the board hold a public hearing on the request. See id. at § 16.22(3).
[Note 30] In 2008, the department, in response to a request of the plaintiffs to undertake an enforcement action against SRDP, reviewed available historical material and determined that the entire sixty-four-acre parcel, not only the 20.6 acres north of Barefoot Road, was site assigned.
[Note 31] The plaintiffs claim that the board limited the actual site assignment made in 1999 to 32.2 acres, even though in connection with the 1999 site assignment application, the department had issued a site suitability report that approved an 82.2-acre expansion of the 1979 site assignment. In fact, however, the board's 1999 decision expressly incorporated the department's site suitability report approving 82.2 acres as suitable for assignment; the smaller 32.2-acre portion on which the plaintiffs focus represents the specific portion of the site that would be used for waste disposal.
[Note 32] Under 310 Code Mass. Regs. § 16.02, a "Solid Waste Management Facility" may be used for processing directly related to solid waste activities. On November 16, 1998, the board unanimously voted to change the original name of the landfill facility involved in this case from "Existing Sanitary Landfill Facility" to "Solid Waste Management Facility," thereby bringing the facility within the express language of the regulation.


Leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized nations have wrapped up their first of a two-day summit in Canada. Even so, despite the smiles and handshakes, tensions over trade are simmering.
Donald Trump arrived in Quebec on Friday, but begrudgingly. The U.S. President reportedly asked aides why he should bother going to the G7 Summit in Canada.
Trump has been at odds over trade, quite publicly with the other leaders from the group of industrialized nations. This year's meeting comes just days after the Trump administration slapped import duties on steel and aluminum from its long-time allies. Those duties including the summit host country, Canada.
G7 finance ministers, meeting last weekend, had already rebuked the U.S. president. The other six nations promised a unified front against Trump's "America First" policies.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Trump just hours after the U.S. president publicly criticized him. Regardless, Trudeau tried to put on a friendly face.
"We both got elected on a commitment to growth of the middle class and helping those working hard to join it, and that's what we're going to stay focused on," Trudeau said.
Before leaving Washington, Trump suggested the U.S. was actually the victim.
"We have massive trade deficit with almost every country. We will straighten that out and I'll tell you what, it's what I do. It won't even be hard. And in the end we'll all get along," Trump said.
However, differences on topics, including climate change, were on display.
"I would say it's more honest to name the differing views and try to overcome them than to pretend that everything is in order," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
Trump also suggested that Russia should have a place in the group again. It was kicked out in 2014, in response to what Western nations called its illegal annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
The new Italian Prime Minister supported the idea, while a spokesman for the Canadian foreign minister said Ottawa's position remained unchanged.
"I feel there is a lot of speculation about plus G6 plus one or G7 minus one or G7 plus one but let's leave 7 as it is. It's a lucky number, at least in our culture," added Donald Tusk, President of the European Council.
A spokesman for the Kremlin said Russia has other priorities.
In convincing Trump to attend the summit, White House advisers reportedly told him that skipping it would make him look like he was running away from a fight he had started. He's still planning to leave early.
CGTN's Jessica Stone spoke to Aurel Braun for more insight on developments coming out of this year's G-7 Summit. Braun is a Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the University of Toronto.


You were WAY too busy with class and homework yesterday, but heads up that Michelle Obama was down the street from CCNY yesterday. She hosted a luncheon at the Studio Museum in Harlem for first ladies from around the world, in town for the United Nations General Assembly meeting. Singer Audra McDonald performed, along with local high school students and the Dance Theater of Harlem. Chef Marcus Samuelsson, who owns the Red Rooster (yum!) and is a regular on all kinds of TV shows, catered the luncheon.
"This community is infused with the kind of energy and passion that is quintessentially American but that has also touched so many people around the world," she told the crowd.

Q: how to get current terminal color pair in bash I would like to query and store the current terminal color pair in BASH e.g.:
#!/bin/bash

#some ANSI colour escape sequences
red="\033[0;31m"
grn="\033[0;32m"
blu="\033[0;34m"

def="\033[0;00m" # default

echo -e "Change to ${red} red to ${def} default to ${blu} blue."

# now store the current color (which happens to be blue) e.g.:

cur=????

echo -e "Change to ${grn} green and back to what I had before ${cur}"
echo -e "This would be in blue if variable cur contained e.g.: 0;34m."
echo -e "Back to default${def}"
exit 0

The answer that eludes me is how to capture the current color
cur=????

A: You can't; there is no standard control sequence to report the current cursor attributes.
What does exist, however, is a sequence to save and restore the current cursor position and attributes:

*

*\e7 (DECSC) will save the cursor position and attributes.

*\e8 (DECRC) will restore the saved cursor position and attributes.

There is no standard way to restore only the cursor attributes; however, as rici mentioned, you can get a report of the current position using \e[6n (DSR), then use the response to manually "un-restore" the cursor position after restoring its position and attributes.
Again, though, it's probably easier (and better) to just keep track of the colors in your application, rather than making the terminal responsible for that.

A: It's important to understand that the terminal state has nothing to do with bash. Bash doesn't care. It simply reads from stdin and writes to stdout and stderr. (See Note 1)
All terminal effects are implemented by the terminal emulator you happen to be using, of which there are many. In a graphical environment, you might be using, for example, xterm or konsole. You'll need to search the documentation for those emulators for specific terminal control codes which they interpret.
As far as I know, there is no standard code to get a report of the current terminal state, other than the cursor position (ESC[6n).
So your best bet is to remember the changes you made when you make them.
You can find a list of the standard codes implemented by the Linux console using man console_codes (although few people use the Linux console these days); most of those are also interpreted by xterm and other graphical consoles. There's an list of xterm sequences in Thomas Dickey's xterm site; it's a more or less de facto standard for terminal emulators but, as I said, you'll need to search in each emulator's documentation for idiosyncratic control sequences.
Notes

*

*In interactive mode, bash uses a library called readline to help it handle some terminal effects. In particular, readline tries to maintain the current console cursor position, although it is easy to fool it. In PS1 you need to surround console control sequences with \[ and \] precisely because readline does not know that they are control sequences.

A: The question was about the current color, not the cursor position.
Both are "nonstandard" (though the latter, cursor position report is implemented by anything which has a valid claim to "VT100 emulator").
However, xterm implements a set of escape sequences referred to as dynamic colors, which predate the ANSI color functionality.  Those set the working colors including text foreground and background.  I modified this in 2002 to allow an application to send the sequence with a "?" rather than a color to tell xterm to return the color value, e.g.,
OSC 1 1 ? ST

using the notation given in XTerm Control Sequences

A: What I understood, is that u are asking to to get the default profile color of the user, of which u have change color of!
Eg: User is using 'Bright Green font color on Black background', you change it to 'Red font color on White background'. Now how to get/know the default colors and set them back to it!

You can use the sequence \033[0m in bash [also for command prompt (batch scripting) / powershell (ps scripting)]

Lake Garda is between Milan and Venice, and is easy to reach by train (or car) from either destination. From Milan the train is approximately one hour, with Venice closer to two - perfect for combining with a longer trip.
Into Shakespeare? Visit the lovely town of Verona, the setting for Romeo and Juliet. Approximately 15-20 minutes from the southern shore of Garda, it's an easy day trip.
It gets windy on the Northern end of the lake. Riva del Garda is known as Europe's windsurfing capi.
I have a very good friend who lives on Lake Garda in a small town called Desenzano del Garda. The lake is Caribbean blue and crystal clear. It is absolutely beautiful! Skip Como and head straight to Garda.
Sleep: Unless you also have a friend to stay with, I'd suggest you make the town of Garnagno, north of Desenzano, your base. The Villa Feltrinelli is a turn of the century private home converted into a hotel, it was once the summer residence of one of Italy's wealthiest families. The beautiful pool and garden are set right on the lake. We had lunch there one day and although lavish it's relaxed, and not at all stuffy. I'd be very happy to stay here.
Local Interest: A must stop when visiting Garda is the town of Sermione, Lake Garda's prettiest village. This small medieval town is on a peninsula just east of Desenzano. You have to park and cross the bridge on foot to enter the town. It's a nice walk to the point, where there are some interesting roman ruins and a beautiful view of the entire lake.
Eat: This is Italy so naturally there are lots of great options. Chef Gionata Bignotti has a one star Michelin restaurant in Sermione called Rucola. He's known for his creative Italian dishes. On the way out of town you have to stop and have pizza at Malibu. This is my friend's weekly pizza spot. Drive up the west side of the lake, and stop in Salo' for the best gelato at La Casa del Dolce. Continue north to Gardone Riviera and eat at Villa Carne al Fuoco, Lido 84 or Villa Fiordaliso, all are excellent.
Spa: We spent a day at Lefay Spa, located way up high above the lake in Gargnano. (It's on the Western shore about an hour away from Desenzano) I have never been to such a beautiful spa in such a spectacular spot! We spent the day, but with two swimming pools, five meditation gardens, 25 acres to hike and bike, and a host of wellness programs I could be tempted to go back for a longer stay!
Shop: No trip would be complete without a stop at Lucca Roda's factory shop in Desenzano on Via Mantova 4.He primarily makes high end men's clothes, but also designs beautiful women's scarves. The prices here are much lower than at his retail shop in Milan.
I Loved It: This is a beautiful part of Italy, and is worth it's own trip.

Ibosa Offers €33.5M to Acquire Most Sought-After Plot in Madrid
20 November 2018 – El Confidencial
The cooperative managed by Grupo Ibosa, Residencial Shaula Sociedad Cooperativa, has fought off competition from 16 other contenders in the auction for the most sought-after plot of land in Madrid. On the table: €33,510,000, an amount that almost doubles the minimum price of €17 million that the Treasury had set for it.
The cooperative has fought off competition in a tight bid from Desarrollos Los Astros, constituted at the beginning of November, and backed by Grupo Nozar, which placed €32 million on the table, and Arcano, which bid €31.2 million. Nevertheless, those two high offers were unable to compete with Grupo Ibosa, which has a lot of experience in this type of auction.
Expectations were high at Calle Guzmán el Bueno 139, the headquarters of the Special Delegation of the Economy and Finance in Madrid, where the auction was held. At 10am, in a room full with more than 100 people, 17 envelopes were opened containing 17 bids for the most sought-after plot of the year in Madrid. The land was owned by the National Currency and Stamp Factory (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre), which entrusted its sale to the Heritage Service. The cooperative members will have to make the first disbursement within the next few days, equivalent to 25% of the amount offered, in other words, almost €8.4 million, and then pay the remaining 75% over the coming months, after deducting the deposit paid in order to be able to bid, which amounts to €850,000.
Vía Célere also submitted an offer (€23.7 million), exactly two years after submitting the only offer for another plot of land owned by the Treasury, in the same place, on Avenida Santo Ángel de la Guarda. The company chaired by Juan Antonio Gómez-Pintado is a familiar face in this type of action. In fact, just a few days after that auction, it was awarded the Adif and Repsol plots in Méndez Álvaro. On that occasion, its bid was also the only one.
In terms of the other names called out in the room, they included traditional property developers such as Ebrosa (€20.53 million), which submitted the most conservative bid; Grupo Premier, which put €25.16 million on the table through the company Cajandral; and Grupo Lar, which bid €30.13 million through Desarrollos Residenciales Madrid Norte. Pryconsa, another of the real estate firms that typically participates in these types of procedures, offered €23.1 million through Cogein, and Renta Corporación, with €22.15 million.
The surprise bidders included Inmo Frieria, a company backed by Manuel Jove, the former President of Fadesa, with a bid amounting to €24.7 million. And the listed company Aedas Homes, which offered €25 million through the company SPV Reoco 1, in its first major auction in Madrid. The long list of interested parties was completed by Global Nostromo (€28.5 million), Golego ITG (€22.12 million), Taz Real Estate (owned by Alza Real Estate, €24 million), Misodi Rent (owned by the Huguet family, with €23.2 million), Torre Rioja Madrid (€25.1 million) and Denoti Investment, a company owned by Irvine Alan Stewart Laidlaw, a British businessman and one of the richest people in the United Kingdom, whose bid amounted to €31 million.
A cooperative wins again
Like happened exactly four years ago, in November 2014, with the auctions of the plots on Raimundo Fernández Villaverde (owned by the Ministry of Defence) and the former metro depots in Cuatro Caminos (owned by Metro de Madrid), it is a cooperative – which saves on the property developer margin – that has managed to put the most competitive offer on the table, to fight off seasoned property developers such as Premier, Pryconsa, Ebrosa and Aedas Homes in a bid that the experts are describing as the auction of the year in Madrid. Not because of its size or its features, but because of its location, just 500m from the Retiro Park, this was one of the most sought-after plots in the capital, and its new owner may build up to 100 homes on its 4,500 m2 – 9,000 m2 of buildable space (…).
The cooperative managed by Grupo Ibosa currently comprises 60 cooperative members and its plans involve the construction of 94 homes. The 4 bedroom homes with two parking spaces and a storeroom will cost between €806,000 and €1,175,000, whilst the 3-bedroom homes will cost between €670,000 and €688,000 (…). The 2-bedroom homes will cost between €490,000 and €498,000, and the 1-bedroom homes will cost between €309,000 and €354,000. The complex will also have a swimming pool, a padel court, a gastroteque, a mini-crossfit studio, a sports pitch, a gym, changing rooms, a spa, a sauna and a jacuzzi.

Air pollution is a major environmental concern for many populations worldwide. Communication efforts so far have been based on a one-way provision of evidence and information from experts to society, and have arguably failed in their mission to foster a more aware and engaged society, or to result in cleaner air. Globally we are facing both an air quality crisis and a communication emergency. This paper focuses on the communication of air pollution risk, from the threats it poses (e.g. severe impacts to human health) to the opportunities it can create (e.g. behavioural or technological alternatives that lead to cleaner air). It supports the case for moving away from one-way communication, and identifies five key benefits of a practical two-way communication between experts and citizens in order to engender positive change and improve global air quality.

Electric Ceramic Kilns The most common type of pottery kiln for studio or home use.
Glass Kilns Glass kilns are great for projects like glass fusing and bottle slumping.
Dual Media Kilns Fire both glass and pottery in dual-media electric kilns.
Raku & Gas Kilns Gas and Raku kilns are great for producing special pottery.
Kiln Furniture Customize your electric or gas kiln's firing space with posts and shelves.
Kiln Parts Find new or replacement parts for your electric or gas kiln.
Kiln Accessories Shop kiln stands and vents to complement your electric or gas kiln.
Clearance Kiln Deals Incredible Black Friday Kiln Deals.
Whatever your kiln needs are, Glass, Gas, Electric or Raku, at Big Ceramic Store, we have the perfect kiln for you and your budget. With brands like Amaco, ConeArt, Cress, Duncan, Olympic, Paragon and Skutt, you are sure to find what you are looking for at a price you can afford.
What's the difference in kilns you might ask? Well, glass kilns generally have a heat source in the lid, and are used for doing glass work like bottle slumping and glass beads. Ceramic kilns have heating elements in the sidewalls, fire at a higher temperature, and are fairly easy to operate. Electric ceramic kilns are used more often than any other type, and are great for beginners.
Gas fired kilns are a little more challenging to use. The "reduction" firing supports a richer range of color and effects like flashing. If you're bored with the simplicity, and colors produced in the oxidation firing of the electric ceramic kiln, a gas kiln may be the choice for you.
Raku kilns are a little different, as they are the first step to the finished product. Raku kilns are basically gas or electric ceramic kilns, with a lid safety cutoff switch, or winch for lifting the heating chamber. Either feature is designed to allow for easier removal of the red hot pieces.
Do you work with glass and ceramics? Save yourself the hassle of separate kilns by checking out our Dual Media kilns.

The EDM artist opens up about his personal life and professional journey.
Jock Nowell-Usticke, aka BAYNK, first made waves in the EDM community when he released "Sundae" on SoundCloud and headed off on a backpacking trip around Europe. When he came back from his trip, he was surprised to find out that the song had been picked up by popular music blog HillyDilly, and BAYNK had consequently been booked for several festival performances. He rode his surprise success to the creation of another 2016 single, "What You Need," that quickly rose to number one on Hype Machine, cementing his place among the biggest names in EDM.
Now, BAYNK is preparing to head out on his first headlining North American tour, with thirteen stops from coast to coast. He's also planning to release his new EP this spring, featuring "Settle (ft. Sinead Harnett)" and "Off Limits (ft. Glades)". Popdust sat down with the music maker to hear about his process, chemical engineering degree, and new found passion for the stage.
Your new tour is starting very soon, what can fans expect? Where are you headed?
Very soon. A little more of everything. The production is quite a step up from anything I've done before and involves sitting inside this LED frame thing. Heading all around the states playing some newer, older and a couple of unreleased songs.
How did you get into the saxophone?
I started when I was 14 I think. I'd just quit playing the piano because I didn't think it was cool enough and saxophone is the logical instrument to try if one wants to be cooler. I played for about two years in bands before giving it up and getting back into piano. Only once I got into production and playing shows did I feel the need to take it back up again.
What was it like collaborating with Glades on "Off Limits"? How did that come about?
I heard Karina's voice pop up on the radio one day and fell in love with her tone. The same day I got in touch with them they happened to be working on their album in Hollywood, five minutes up the road from where I live. The whole band is so lovely and the song really just came together like magic.
Do you see performing or song production as your biggest passion? Would you rather be on stage or messing around with beats in your bedroom?
About a year ago I was a very nervous live performer but relished locking myself away in the bedroom and messing with sounds. Just recently it's switched to the polar opposite. I love performing more than I do music creation. It comes in waves.
How'd you come up with the name BAYNK?
I thought of it in the shower.
How did growing up in New Zealand affect your development as a musician? Do you still spend a lot of time there?
I go back at least once a year for a couple of months. It'll always be my home. I think being so far from musical hubs and having a sort of isolation helped me develop a sound for myself relatively quickly. No-one I knew produced music and I didn't even understand what production was until I had finished university so everything was very DIY and a lot of the production & recording methods weren't necessarily correct but they were helping to build a strange palette of what I was going to sound like.
I read that you usually direct your own videos. How did you get into that?
I had always been interested in music videos. They always looked so fun and I didn't know anyone who made them so I just tried it myself and got obsessed after that. I have a fantastic team of people I work with now who are all much better technically than [I am] and help [me] realize some ideas that I would have no idea how to create on my own.
You have several songs featuring other artists. Do you like that kind of collaboration? Or do you prefer working solo?
It's much easier to experiment and try new things when working solo but working with new people is also exciting and yields unexpected results. I enjoy working solo more because I love experimentation, which is harder to do when you're with someone you've never met.
What can you tell us about your songwriting process?
It varies from song to song but I generally start with the piano just because I've been playing for so long and it's comfortable. I never write down any lyrics I just freestyle until I have something I like.
I read you actually have a degree in chemical engineering. Is that still a part of your life?
I do. It's not and I don't think it ever will be.
Is your onstage persona similar to who you are in real life?
The same person just more exaggerated.
What would you say to a young person who wants to have a career like yours?
I would say go for it. Just prepare for 1-3 years of no results. The music comes first but it's not all about the music.

I have been promoting other peoples hubs as well as my own.
Mostly through classified ad submission on several different networks by hand not using any software submitters.
I post a small blurb and sometimes a picture and of course a link to your hub with my tracking code.
If anyone would like more traffic to their hub I would be willing to place a few ads for you.
I didnt ask Pauls permission but he did post something about getting good content producers together with marketers.
Or you can try it yourself Here is a small list of some of the places I am trying, I haven't tryed them all yet. Please follow the rules of each place .
At first I would like to try probably 3 hubbers a week and I will place 5 ads a piece for them.
What do you the hubbers think?
It seems like a great idea - I'm not fussy what you promote of mine but the following seem to make the most money!
I saw Paul's post as well and I think he has got a point !
Also, http://www.theflyer.com isn't coming up for me.
And "Postaroo has shutdown. Thank you for using Postaroo in the past."
I dont' have enough hubs yet or earnings, but should I start earning in the future, you can link to my hubs. Will be using your list for promotion. Thanks, amigo!
Nice sites that you created.
Darkside: Checked your site, and its very well done and nice to look at. Easy to find the categories and links.
I would like to be in on this deal if at all possible.
I will make a list of hubbers that want me to promote their hubs.
If you have specific hubs you want out there more like Lisse, You guys know what your best hubs are.
That would help me alot because sometimes I feel I am not a very good hub picker of which ones to promote.
Sure. You can post mine, if I can post yours.
Thanks for the links. You should write a hub with those links in it.
Hi, coolbreeze, Can I jump in the wagon?
I also thank you for this information and give you full permission to list or promote anything of mine. As a new Hubber, I am mostly focusing on the writing. I have signed up with affiliates but really don't know my engine from my caboose on the money-making end of things.
sure thing! and thanks for the offer ... am really new here.
I've been around for a little while now, but I only have a vague idea what this is all about. I'm not looking to make money, so if anyone is interested in my hubs they're more than welcome to make use of them -- whatever that's worth.
Hubbers Roast: Whats your own fav hub?


Image of a photographer and his assistant with a camera and tripod. Shows them on rocks by the sea. Taken by Isaac Henry Bowen Jeffares, probably between 1902 and 1922.
Was born 1868 in Clive, New Zealand and died 02 August 1936 in Mount Albert, Auckland, New Zealand. He married Winifred Alexia Ashley on 18 February 1914 in Addington, Christchurch, New Zealand, daughter of James Ashley II and Mary Eliza Andrews.


My eldest daughter told me that she wanted to be in their volleyball team but the list is closed now and she can only join the basketball team which is only her second choice. She's now praying that one of her classmates in the team would back out so she can come in or she'll have to learn and practice basketball starting this weekend for her to cope up in the game. Well this is for their upcoming Foundation Day where they all must join a sports team to compete with other sections and further to inter-year level. This is her first sports' competition and she's excited about it although she's hoping that she'll be included in the volleyball team. She's not as athletic like her younger sister who joins chess, volleyball, badminton and basketball in her primary school but she wants to join now. She's more artistic and creative but I can see that she can be athletic as well given the chance.
They still don't discuss about their uniforms now and I'm still thinking what type it will be as I'm browsing now sites that offer personalized clothing for universities like the central michigan university gear. I found C&O Sportswear, quality maker of customized gear for small and large scale for universities or companies. They make great CMU gear with logos embroidered and what's required in the uniforms. They offer personalized apparel, gear, accessories and a lot more plus they can assure on time delivery even for bulk orders. They're in the business for several years and been giving quality products that you'll want to order again next time around.

9 Etiquette Tips to Handle Awkward Situations
Manners & Civility
By Debby Mayne
Everyone has experienced at least a few awkward situations in their lifetime, even after trying to follow the most basic rules of etiquette. These may be insignificant events that you won't remember a year from now, or they may be much more impactful to your life. Regardless of how much they affect you, there are some things you can do to minimize the aftermath.
Busybody Questions
Sam Edwards / Getty Images
You've probably had someone ask you something that is none of their business, leaving you wondering why they need to know. There's always someone who thinks it's his or her right to know your private or personal business, and they'll ask you.
Come up with a few pat answers to put these people in their place without sounding self-righteous. For example, if one of your coworkers asks how much you make, say, "Enough to pay my bills but not enough to buy that Lamborghini I have my eye on." There isn't much the person can say after that.
Email or Text Sent to the Wrong Person
Chad Springer/Getty Images
The instant you hit "send," you discover that your message went to the wrong person. Now it's time for damage control. First, try to find a way to "unsend," but that doesn't always work.
It's not too difficult to apologize if you haven't said something inappropriate. However, if you have, pick up the phone and talk to the person. It's always easier to explain with back-and-forth conversation than with another email or text message. The person will hear the sincerity in your voice more easily than seeing it in another message.
You're Running Late
Sam Edwards/OJO Images/Getty Images
It's always a good idea to be where you're supposed to be at the designated time. However, there are occasions when you may be running late. The best thing is to apologize and do whatever you have to do to catch up on what you missed.
Don't make up reasons for your tardiness because that's simply a waste of time, and others will see right through the excuses. If you have a legitimate excuse, let the other person know and then drop it.
In the Presence of an Ex
Sollina Images / Getty Images
You're sitting across the table with the man or woman of your dreams, and someone at the door of the restaurant catches your eye. As soon as you glance up, your heart falls when you realize your ex has just arrived. You want to crawl under the table, hoping you won't be seen. However, that's not a good solution.
Be very straightforward and simply state the situation. If the person you are with seems put off, try to reassure him or her. However, this is an opportunity to see the person's reaction to a sticky situation – something that will show true character.
Flirty Boss

Flirty bosses can make your job unbearable, so it's best to nip that situation in the bud immediately. Let him or her know that this kind of behavior makes you uncomfortable and you would like for it to stop. If the person continues, you have three choices: Tell your boss's supervisor, live with it, or quit your job.
Inappropriate Office Relationship

The discomfort of spotting one of your married coworkers engaging in inappropriate behavior with someone else in the office can be overwhelming. If this happens to you, leave the scene and give one of the people an opportunity to explain later. You may have misunderstood what was happening, but if your first hunch was correct, resist the urge to comment. Don't gossip about an office romance with others either because often the messenger winds up in more trouble than the ones who commit the infraction.
Forgot Someone's Name
Don't be afraid to ask someone's name. Caiaimage/Sam Edwards / Getty Images
If you encounter someone whose name you should remember but don't, extend your hand and say, "Hi, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Jane Miller from accounting." The other person will probably take the hint and do the same. If not, continue chatting with the hope that something will trigger your memory. You can also try honesty by saying that you are terrible with names. Most people are understanding and won't be offended.
Foot in Mouth Syndrome
Gary Burchell / Getty Images
Almost everyone has stuck a foot in the mouth at least once in his or her life. When this happens to you, take a moment to recover and come back with something flattering. For example, if you ask a friend when her baby is due, and she lets you know she's not pregnant, say, "Oh, but you're glowing. Something wonderful must be happening in your life, and I'd love to hear about it." Then make it a point to avoid saying anything rude in the future.
Request for a Loan
Anfisa Kameneva / EyeEm / Getty Images
Someone you know has asked you for money, but you have a rule to never lend money to a friend or coworker. Simply state your policy, and if possible, offer a small cash gift. If you don't have extra money to give, offer something else, like an alternative to borrowing money. You may even know of a lending institution that you can recommend.
Look Forward, Not Back
Remember that most of your awkward moments are quickly forgotten by others, so try to move on and not constantly beat yourself up over your mistakes. And then try not to make the same mistake again.
