I'll probably just rent to start off (since it's way cheaper than paying Premium plus Tier and you get a landlord looking out for you), but finding a place that works is hard. I need lots of prims, need to be able to have lots of games, but find neighbors who don't freak out that there's a "casino" next to them. I won't be doing any camp chairs, strobe lights, dance floors, or anything like that, but people get touchy about this stuff. I don't want to rent a place and then just get kicked off!
There's a sweet 2048m plot in Patagonia I might end up with, just waiting to hear back from Prokofy Neva about the whole Casino thing. If she's concerned about the racket I might make I'll totally understand, but if so this is going to be a LONG hunt.
Casinos are only usually a problem if they start causing lag due to lots of avs sitting around in them for hours on end. If you are just making a place for people to come and play games every once in a while, that will generally be fine with landlords – particularly if other tenants would enjoy them, or they suitable for a themed rental area.

Q: TableViewCell color not changing on tapping When I am tapping on my table view cell, its background color is not changing to blue. Any reason for this?
On tapping of a cell, I am putting a check mark on right view of the cell and if I tap on same cell which has the checkmark, cell glows with blue background color but not on the cell which do not contain the checkmark.
I tried
[iTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:iIndexPath].selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue;

in my
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)iTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)iIndexPath {

but it is not helping.

A: Try setting the cell's selectionStyle in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // Cell setup

    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue; // or Gray/None

    return cell;
}

A: Or you can also do this by this way
   - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {

        UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
        cell.textLabel.shadowColor = [UIColor redColor];
        [cell.contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
        [cell setBackgroundColor:[UIColor magentaColor]];

    }

You can change the color of textlabel,cell,cell's content view.
Hope this would also help you.

Injalak Arts has strong governance and a sound management team with years of experience. This is what gives Provenance Arts such good foundations.
Injalak Arts is the trading name of an incorporated Association whose members are drawn from the artists and community. Any Kunwinjku speaking Aboriginal person over the age of 18 can be a member. The Management Committee has 9-10 members and is required to meet at least 6 times per year. Donna Nadjamerrek is the chairperson and Christopher Galamirnda the Deputy Chair. See the full list of Management Committee Members.
The Association has a number of objectives, with the major emphasis being cultural maintenance and economic self-determination. In its constitution, the Association aims to "support and enrich the culture of the people in this area" and provide economic benefits for the residents of Gunbalanya and its outstations while being non-profit making.
Injalak Arts is widely seen as a good governance model and is recognised as one of the most dynamic and successful Indigenous art centres in Australia.
Donna Nadjamerrek has been our Chairperson for more than eight years. The fourth and youngest daughter of world-renowned artist Bardayal (Lofty) Nadjamerrek (dec) she is a champion of Kunwinjku art and culture. Donna's leadership has been critical in the growth of Injalak Arts in the last decade. A strong proponent of good governance she walks in two worlds balancing her day job as Indigenous Engagement Coordinator for The Office of Prime Minister & Cabinet and her private time being active in Aboriginal-owned community organisations and a highly respected community member. Donna lives in Gunbalanya, however, her homeland is Kabulwarnamyo to the north-east. She is a Board Member of ANKA.
When in his early twenties Gabriel Maralngurra was one of the co-founders of Injalak Arts in 1989 and continues to be a driving force behind the art centre today. He is an ambassador and intercultural mediator for Kunwinjku culture, having worked many years a fabric screen-printer and designer, a tour guide, Kunwinjku-English translator, Injalak Arts board member and chairperson, and now Co-Manager of Injalak Arts. He has also travelled widely around Australia and internationally for art related events. In 2016 Injalak Arts published his first book – The Kunwinjku Counting Book – and it is now in its second edition. The worldwide hardcover rights have been acquired by Enchanted Lion and will be printed in 2019.
As a co-founder, it is in large part Gabriel's vision and belief in the mission of the art centre that has allowed it to carry on and thrive. He has helped create a place where the Art History of West Arnhem Land can be continued, developed, experienced by others and through apprenticeships to younger generations. Most visitors meet Gabriel as he is nearly always found at his (veranda) studio at the art centre.
Benson is an artist and screen printer who has been a member of Injalak Arts since 1989. Initially, he worked solely as a screen printer but in time moved to being an active and acclaimed painting with an elegant, minimalist style. An animated storyteller with a vivid sense of humour he is also a ceremonial elder with networks across the Top End of Australia. He moved into a leadership position at Injalak Arts in 2013 and is an excellent ambassador and communicator to non-Indigenous people with his thoughtful eloquence. Benson's artworks have been licensed for reproduction by Yijan/Balarinji since the early 1990s and still sells well. In 2018 a poem he co-wrote and created an illustration for was included in the poetry anthology A Boat of Stars published by ABC Books. There are currently discussions about it becoming a children's book.
It is not often an art centre manager returns for a second stint – and in this case it was definitely not planned. After being the first manager of Injalak Arts from 1991-95, Felicity worked with art centres all over Australia in a range of capacities including as a researcher and then as a strategic business planner and marketing consultant. Along the way she researched and published The Art & Craft Centre Story – Volumes I-III. Now having worked with Indigenous people in more than 70 sites around Australia, specialising in but not restricted to art centres, she has learned a lot about remote community art centres and social enterprises. Returning to Injalak Arts as a short term Change Manager at the end of 2012, she found it difficult to leave. Injalak Arts, with its location and volume of visitors every year, is an ideal place for someone whose strength is an intercultural mediator. The Kunwinjku people are unique in their graciousness under pressure, after more than a century of being at the frontier of Arnhem Land and having to deal with all who want to enter. Injalak Arts is a place where it has been possible to broaden and deepen many non-Indigenous people's understanding and respect for Indigenous knowledge systems and ways of being.

Mayoral Candidate Rick Caruso Endorsed by LAPD Union
February 25, 2022 TruthUSA 0 Comments
LOS ANGELES—The union representing officers at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on Feb. 24 announced its endorsement of real estate developer Rick Caruso for mayor of Los Angeles.
The endorsement from the Los Angeles Police Protective League was given after Caruso earned the unanimous support of its member-based Political Action Committee and unanimous vote of its Board of Directors, according to the union.
Caruso was the president of the civilian Los Angeles Police Commission from 2001 to 2003 after being appointed by former Mayor James K. Hahn.
"We are pleased to announce our unanimous vote to endorse Rick Caruso for mayor," said Lt. Craig Lally, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League. "We believe that the people of Los Angeles and the members of the LAPD agree: Our approach to public safety needs to change. Rick is not a typical politician and we believe that he can fix L.A."
On Feb. 15, Caruso announced his public safety plan, which included adding 1,500 officers to the LAPD's force if elected mayor.
The Los Angeles Police Department's current personnel number stands at 9,521 sworn members, 185 fewer than its authorized deployment for the fiscal year.
An additional 1,500 officers would put the department at just over 11,000 officers, the number called for by mayoral candidate and LA City Councilman Joe Buscaino, who used to be an LAPD officer. City Attorney Mike Feuer has said as part of his campaign for mayor that the department should expand to at least 10,000 officers, and Rep. Karen Bass said that if elected mayor she would bring the department to its authorized levels of 9,700 officers by hiring civilian personnel to move desk officers to patrol.
The LAPD is already seeking additional funding in the next fiscal year that would restore staffing levels to 9,800 sworn officers.
The calls for more police from the candidates have been criticized by some community activists who have called for a vast scaling back of law enforcement in response to much-publicized incidents of police brutality, most notably the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Activists calling for a re-imagining of public safety have called attention to the LAPD's budget of $1.761 billion, which is higher than any other city department.
Advocates for reducing police budgets call for the money to be invested into communities and programs that they argue prevent crime, including by addressing poverty and mental health issues.
On his campaign website launched on Feb. 22, Caruso said he would increase the department's budget and said the idea to reduce police budgets "makes no sense when you consider that murders are skyrocketing and L.A. is the most under-policed big city in America."
Los Angeles had a nearly 12 percent year-over-year climb in homicides in 2021, bringing it to levels not seen since 2006. Violent crime increased 3.9 percent and property crimes rose by 4.2 percent. The number of people shot rose by 9 percent.
Other major cities across the United States also experienced major increases in violent crime, and many of the cities had sharper increases than Los Angeles.

This chapter describes the procedures for installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster. Oracle Grid Infrastructure consists of Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM). If you plan afterward to install Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC), then this is phase one of a two-phase installation.
Complete the following steps to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management) on your cluster. At any time during installation, if you have a question about what you are being asked to do, click the Help button on the OUI page.
Select this option to install either a standard cluster, or to install an Oracle Flex Cluster with Hub and Leaf Nodes.
Select this option to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure in an Oracle Restart configuration. Use this option for single servers supporting Oracle Database and other applications.
Select this option to upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Grid Infrastructure), or to upgrade Oracle ASM.
Select this option to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure in a Grid home, without configuring the software.
Installation screens vary depending on the installation option you select. Respond to the configuration prompts as needed to configure your cluster.
Click Help if you have any questions about the information you are asked to submit during installation.
If you plan to use manual cluster configuration, with fixed IP addresses configured and resolved on your DNS, then be prepared to provide the SCAN names for the cluster, and the public names, and VIP names for each cluster member node.
Interfaces identified as private for private IP addresses should not be accessible as public interfaces. Using public interfaces for Cache Fusion cancause performance problems.
You can choose to configure the Hub and Leaf Node types manually, or you can choose to set a target size for the number of Hub Nodes in your cluster, and allow Oracle Grid Infrastructure to maintain the number of Hub Nodes required for your cluster automatically.
When you enter the public node name, use the primary host name of each node. In other words, use the name displayed by the hostname command.
Provide information to automate root scripts, or run scripts as root when prompted by OUI. Click Details to see the log file. If root.sh fails on any of the nodes, then you can fix the problem and rerun root.sh on that node again and continue. If the problem cannot be fixed, follow the steps in Section 10.5, "Unconfiguring Oracle Clusterware Without Removing Binaries".
If you configure automation for running root scripts, and a root script fails, then you can fix the problem manually, and click Retry to run the root script again on nodes that failed to run the script.
You must run the root.sh script on the first node and wait for it to finish. If your cluster has three or more nodes, then root.sh can be run concurrently on all nodes but the first. Node numbers are assigned according to the order of running root.sh. If a particular node number assignment is desired, you should run the root scripts in that order, waiting for the script to finish running on each node.
After root.sh runs on all the nodes, OUI runs Net Configuration Assistant (netca) and Cluster Verification Utility. These programs run without user intervention.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant (asmca) configures Oracle ASM during the installation.
When you run root.sh during Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, the Trace File Analyzer (TFA) Collector is also installed in the directory grid_home/tfa.
You can manage Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. To register the Oracle Grid Infrastructure cluster with Oracle Enterprise Manager, ensure that Oracle Management Agent is installed and running on all nodes of the cluster.
When you have verified that your Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation is completed successfully, you can either use it to maintain high availability for other applications, or you can install an Oracle database.
If you are installing on Linux systems, you are using the ASM library driver (ASMLIB), and you select Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) during installation, then Oracle ASM default discovery finds all disks that ASMLIB marks as Oracle ASM disks.
If you intend to install Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1) with Oracle RAC, then see Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux.
During installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, you are given the option either of providing cluster configuration information manually, or of using a cluster configuration file. A cluster configuration file is a text file that you can create before starting OUI, which provides OUI with cluster node addresses that it requires to configure the cluster.
Oracle recommends that you consider using a cluster configuration file if you intend to perform repeated installations on a test cluster, or if you intend to perform an installation on many nodes.
Where node-role can have either HUB or LEAF as values.
Oracle recommends that only advanced users should perform the software-only installation, as this installation option requires manual postinstallation steps to enable the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software.
A software-only installation consists of installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster on one node.
If you use the Install Grid Infrastructure Software Only option during installation, then this installs the software binaries on the local node. To complete the installation for your cluster, you must perform the additional steps of configuring Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM, creating a clone of the local installation, deploying this clone on other nodes, and then adding the other nodes to the cluster.
Complete a software-only installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure on the first node.
When the software has been installed, run the orainstRoot.sh script when prompted.
The root.sh script output provides information about how to proceed, depending on the configuration you plan to complete in this installation. Make note of this information.
However, ignore the instruction to run the roothas.pl script, unless you intend to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure on a standalone server (Oracle Restart).
Verify that all of the cluster nodes meet the installation requirements using the command runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node_list. Ensure that you have completed all storage and server preinstallation requirements.
Use Oracle Universal Installer as described in steps 1 through 4 to install the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on every remaining node that you want to include in the cluster, and complete a software-only installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure on every node.
Configure the cluster using the full OUI configuration wizard GUI as described in Section 8.2.2, "Configuring the Software Binaries," or configure the cluster using a response file as described in section Section 8.2.3, "Configuring the Software Binaries Using a Response File."
Log in to a terminal as the Grid infrastructure installation owner, and change directory to Grid_home/crs/config.
The configuration script starts OUI in Configuration Wizard mode. Provide information as needed for configuration. Each page shows the same user interface and performs the same validation checks that OUI normally does. However, instead of running an installation, the configuration wizard mode validates inputs and configures the installation on all cluster nodes.
When you complete inputs, OUI shows you the Summary page, listing all inputs you have provided for the cluster. Verify that the summary has the correct information for your cluster, and click Install to start configuration of the local node.
When you install or copy Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on any node, you can defer configuration for a later time. This section provides the procedure for completing configuration after the software is installed or copied on nodes, using the configuration wizard utility (config.sh).
Oracle Clusterware Administration and Deployment Guide for more information about the configuration wizard.
The configuration script starts OUI in Configuration Wizard mode. Each page shows the same user interface and performs the same validation checks that OUI normally does. However, instead of running an installation, The configuration wizard mode validates inputs and configures the installation on all cluster nodes.
The ping utility contacts the comma-separated list of host names or IP addresses Host1/IP1,Host2/IP2 to determine whether the public network is available. If none of them respond, then the network is considered to be offline. Addresses outside the cluster, such as switch or router address, should be used.
Oracle ASM is running only if it is needed for Oracle Clusterware files. If you have not installed OCR and voting files on Oracle ASM, then the Oracle ASM instance should be down.
To manage Oracle ASM or Oracle Net 11g Release 2 (11.2) or later installations, use the srvctl binary in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home for a cluster (Grid home). If you have Oracle Real Application Clusters or Oracle Database installed, then you cannot use the srvctl binary in the database home to manage Oracle ASM or Oracle Net.
Oracle Grid Infrastructure provides required resources for various Oracle products and components. Some of those products and components are optional, so you can install and enable them after installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure. To simplify postinstall additions, Oracle Grid Infrastructure preconfigures and registers all required resources for all products available for these products and components, but only activates them when you choose to add them. As a result, some components may be listed as OFFLINE after the installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure.
Resources listed as TARGET:OFFLINE and STATE:OFFLINE do not need to be monitored. They represent components that are registered, but not enabled, so they do not use any system resources. If an Oracle product or component is installed on the system, and it requires a particular resource to be online, then the software will prompt you to activate the required offline resource.

Home Australia/Israel Review Deconstruction Zone: Pardon my imposition
Deconstruction Zone: Pardon my imposition
November 25, 2016 | Eran Lerman
Eran Lerman
The notion that an externally imposed solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is viable and ultimately in Israel's best interest is sheer folly. It proceeds from a set of wrong assumptions: that the failure to achieve a breakthrough is entirely Israel's fault ("the settlements," etc.); that a short sharp shock is all that would be needed to make Israel "come to its senses;" and that the only reason a solution has not yet been imposed is that Israel has been shielded from the consequences of its policies by powerful friends (mainly in the US).
Each of these false assumptions leads to a false conclusion. To begin with, while not all Israeli actions and positions over the past two decades have been strategically wise (the structure of the Oslo process comes to mind), much of the responsibility for their failure lies with the Palestinians. The Palestinians continue to glorify and reward violence and cling fervently to the hope that they can achieve statehood on their own terms, without conceding Israel's basic need for security, and without recognising the reciprocal legitimacy of the two national movements.
The Palestinians' refusal to accept Israel as the embodiment of the right of the Jewish people for national self-determination – indeed, their refusal to accept that there is a Jewish people – undermines what is certainly a basic requirement if peace agreements are to hold.
By advocating coercive pressure on Israel, the would-be "peacemakers" make peace impossible. For any Palestinian leader (particularly a weak and hesitant one), an imposed solution is a painless alternative to the difficult business of negotiating a compromise. Even the hint of such a possibility is enough to persuade Palestinian policymakers that it is better to cast their hopes on international intervention than a negotiated outcome.
Saeb Erekat's "Study No. 15" of 2014 (a policy document in which he advocated a confrontational course and international pressure) is an example. It resulted in the failure of US Secretary of State John Kerry to achieve a breakthrough despite an intense effort to bring Mahmoud Abbas to the negotiating table.
The second false assumption – that a major international intervention against Israeli interests can force the government into major concessions – is equally dangerous. True moral responsibility (which the so-called peace activists claim as their guiding light) requires a sober assessment of what would follow such an intervention.
Coercion advocates need to be reminded of the scale of human, social, economic and political disruption that Israel would face [in evacuating tens or hundreds of thousands of people from settlements] and then consider if this would be exacerbated by external pressure. The only implementing agency for an imposed solution, as was the case in Gaza in 2005, is the IDF, acting in support of a legitimate democratic decision. Such a decision can only be made if a decent compromise, ugly but equitable, has been achieved at the negotiating table. The alternative – that an elected Israeli government should impose great pain on its own people for no reward and under foreign pressure – is a fantasy.
Finally, the oft-heard argument that it is simply "the Lobby" that has prevented the necessary pressure from being brought to bear is equally false.
The lack of an imposed solution up to now reflects not political folly but diplomatic wisdom. It has never been attempted because even the most aggressive parties knew it would not work. For Secretary of State James Baker, for example, it was a basic tenet that the US cannot want peace more than the parties themselves. In recent years, there have been encouraging signs that some European leaders have come to the same conclusion.
One episode, long secret, should be mentioned in this context. At the high point of the 1973 war crisis (which coincided with the Watergate crisis), President Nixon instructed his Secretary of State to reach a coercive understanding with the Soviets that would then be imposed on Israel, regardless of Jewish opinion at home. To his credit, Henry Kissinger flatly refused – not because of domestic or personal concerns, but because he knew it would not work.
When President Carter tried something similar with Leonid Brezhnev in 1977, Anwar Sadat rebelled, bolted, and came to Jerusalem. Sadat understood well that only a solution accepted by a broad majority of Israelis could be implemented in an effective way.
All this, of course, applies to the decisions the Obama Administration will make in its lame duck days. The President will be tempted to "leave a legacy." It would be disastrous to leave one that makes peace less likely.

"Deportation to Serbia after Arriving in Hungary by Plane"
Date and time: December 20, 2019 00:00
Location: From Budapest to Subotica
Coordinates: 46.166349795726404, 19.55561473438093
Pushback from: Hungary
Pushback to: Serbia
Demographics: 3 person(s), age: 18, 24, 50 , from: Afghanistan
Violence used: no violence used
Police involved: Multiple Hungarian officers
Treatment at police station or other place of detention: detention, fingerprints taken, papers signed
[While BVMN partners – in the case No Name Kitchen – typically only collect reports on incidents which occurred within the previous month, we have included this case in which there is a nearly six month separation between report and incident due to the particular cruel and unusual push-back which it describes]
A 24 year Afghan man, his sister (18 years of age) and mother (50 years old) were illegally and arbitrarily expelled from Hungary to Serbia after arriving at Budapest Ferihegy International Airport airport by plane from Dubai.
The young man who made the report had previously worked in the humanitarian aid field and was a social activist in Afghanistan; according to the respondent, he and his family were forced to flee when threats were made against his sister. They travelled to Dubai and flew from there to Budapest Ferihegy International Airport in Hungary on Flight UAE111 on December 19, 2019. The family arrived to the airport in Budapest at 11:31 in the morning at Terminal 2B. The family had travelled on fake passports and while the respondent and his mother were able to clear immigration controls in the airport without problems, the Hungarian officials recognized his sister's passport as fake and began to question her. The respondent immediately returned to her side and proclaimed his passport as fake as well.
Budapest Ferihegy International Airport, where the family was initially detained
They were taken into detention, "a small jail" within the airport [Budapest Ferihegy Airport maintains a short to medium term Transit Zone Holding Facility] and questioned until about 1:00 am. The respondent described being asked if he wanted to stay in the country [to claim asylum], and he confirmed both verbally and in writing. The next morning they were transferred to another center, the exact location / type of which is unknown. Lawyers and translators were brought in, however, the reporter alleges that the translators did not translate correctly; he tried to speak in English, but was told that only what the translator translated would be taken into consideration.
He repeated multiple times that he wanted to stay there. At first the Hungarian authorities agreed and said he would be in closed camp. He agreed to this. Then, in the evening at five or six o'clock he was told he could not stay and would be deported to Serbia. He questioned why he was being deported to Serbia and said that he had not come from there. Hungarian authorities told him to stop speaking and not make problems or they would jail him for a month and then deport him. He was also forced to sign documents that he did not understand, and then told they were deportation documents.
Sometime after this, Hungarian officers drove the group to the Serbian border, near Subotica. A second group of officers waited at the border, gave them their phones back and told them:
"This is Serbia, you can go there."
Previously, the man making the report said, he knew nothing of Serbia. He and his family entered the country only with dollars and he could not even buy a bottle of water for his mother. That first night they had to sleep in the wilderness and the next day friends in Afghanistan researched where to go. He went to Belgrade and spoke with officials and told his story. He was only told that Hungary is bad, but was not offered further recourse for this injustice.

Global Data Diaries | September 17, 2021
"Welcome to eXate's Global Data Diaries...
This week, the hugely popular Chinese social media platform TikTok has been probed by Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC). The regulator has opened two investigations into the video sharing platform - the first covers how TikTok handles children's data, and whether it complies with Europe's General Data Protection Regulation. Additionally, they will be examining TikTok's transfer of personal data to China, where its parent entity is based, ensuring the company meets requirements set out in the regulation covering personal data transfers to third countries.
In other news, China's industry ministry recently published a notice on telling companies to step up cyber and data security oversights over connected vehicles, saying that security risks in the industry had become increasingly prominent. All relevant companies should establish data security management systems and regularly assess risks from network attacks, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a statement."
TikTok's lead EU regulator opens two data privacy probes
TikTok's lead data privacy regulator in the European Union has opened two inquiries into the Chinese-owned short-video platform related to the processing of children's personal data and transfers of personal data to China.
Ireland's Data Protection Commission, which is lead EU regulator for many of the world's top internet firms due to the location of their regional headquarters in Ireland, is allowed to impose fines of up to 4% of global revenue.
China's tech regulator orders smart vehicle makers and telecom operators to enhance data and network security
China's main technology industry regulator has urged telecommunications companies, internet of vehicles (IoV) manufacturers, and relevant service providers to ramp up data security, in a new regulatory push that could increase compliance costs for firms such as Tesla in China.
Britain looks to weaken rules on data privacy
The UK government plans to strip a series of "administrative burdens" from data protection law in a move that would enshrine the concept of more flexible, risk-based 'privacy management' into legislation.

'World big enough to accommodate India and China'
The Indian Prime Minister tells businessmen there may be some worries about China, "but they have to be taken on board in a constructive manner".
World big enough to accommodate India and China: Manmohan
London: A high-level gathering of business leaders from India and Britain presented a sector-wise wish-list to Manmohan Singh on Tuesday, but the Prime Minister steered clear of making any specific commitments on some of the more contentious issues involved.
India and Britain are the third largest foreign investors in each other's countries, and Indian foreign direct investment (FDI) in Britain has exceeded the reverse flow since 2004. Tuesday's U.K.-India Investment Summit — an initiative of the CII, FICCI and the Confederation of British Industry — was aimed at finding ways of boosting the investment relationship.
"The normal rule in government is that the higher you go, the less you know," Dr. Singh told the summit somewhat disarmingly when called upon to respond to the questions being raised. "So, you will forgive me if I can't answer all your questions."
"A big push"
Infrastructure was one area where there could be a big push, he said, with India in a position to absorb $320 billion worth of investment.
He acknowledged the importance of some issues raised by the CEOs in their deliberations — the lack of clarity about rules and regulatory processes, and the lengthy delays in approvals — but added that his Government was working hard to rectify the situation.
On the manufacturing front, where he said most barriers to FDI had been dismantled, the Prime Minister disagreed with the view that Chinese industry was a threat to its Indian counterpart. "I believe the world is large enough to accommodate the growth ambitions of India and China," he said.
"We are trying to engage China, and the volume of our trade is growing handsomely. I do agree that there are some worries about China, but they have to be taken on board in a constructive manner."
He said he was looking forward to his summit meeting with President Hu Jintao later this year.
"Already converted"
In response to a question on financial sector liberalisation — the Investment Summit working group made a strong pitch for capital account convertibility and further banking liberalisation — the Prime Minister told the CEOs that they were "talking to the converted."
"We remain committed to further liberalisation," he said. India needed to promote a widely held pension fund system, and have a "much larger insurance sector with a higher capital base."
At the same time, whenever enabling legislation was required to be passed by Parliament, the Government had to consult its coalition partners.
His own remarks emphasised India's adherence to "all international codes and regulations pertaining to safety and protection of investment and intellectual property." And in response to fears in a section of the British press about outsourcing in India leading to data theft, he said the country had a "well-designed system for data protection" but was "always willing to learn from our friends how to do things better."

Highland Wildlife and Birdwatch Safaris have been providing wildlife tours in and around the Cairngorms National park since 2004.
A Land Rover Discovery 4X4 is used for the safaris. Clients can observe the wildlife from the vehicle at some sites, however to obtain better views of some of the wildlife, exiting the vehicle is usually required and sometimes a little light walking is involved.
All ages are welcome, but if your children need to travel in a baby carrier, child seat or booster seat, you will need to advise us and bring your own.
To aid the less mobile in entering/exiting the vehicle, it is fitted with height adjustable air suspension and side steps. Please see the demonstration video below.
If you have a medical condition or mobility issues, please notify us when enquiring, as we can usually advise on whether we can accommodate, and can usually plan an itinerary to suit.
We offer a comfort (toilet) stop each time we are near 'civilisation' on our safaris, though it can be an hour or more between these opportunities.
If you are based in and around the Aviemore area we can usually collect you from your accommodation.
Alternatively we can meet you at the local train/bus station if you are using public transport or at a local pre-arranged site if you are travelling here by car. Aviemore has ample car parking facilities and public toilets and lots of shops and cafes.
Click here for Aviemore public transport timetables.
Aviemore is situated just off the A9 approximately 30 miles south of Inverness.
The guide will be identified by corporate clothing and an ID badge. Don't worry, he'll be looking out for you.
The vehicle will be identified by door signage and side and rear windscreen website banners.

Ba Saw Phyu (, ; also spelled Ba Saw Pru, Arakanese pronunciation: ; also known as Kalima Shah; 1430–1482) was king of Arakan from 1459 to 1482. He acquired Chittagong in 1459, and put down a rebellion there in 1481. He established religious contacts with Ceylon and built the Mahabodhi Shwe-Gu Temple. Though he was beloved by his subjects for his enlightened rule, the king was assassinated by a servant of his eldest son Dawlya.

Early life
Ba Saw Phyu was born to Prince Khayi and Princess Saw Pa-Ba (), both of Launggyet royalty in early 1430. Prince Phyu had a younger brother Ba Saw Nyo and several half-brothers. Although he had an older half-brother, Min Khayi's first son by a commoner wife, Phyu's main rival to the throne was Min Swe, his half-brother whose mother Saw Pyinsa was also of Launggyet royalty and a first cousin of Saw Pa-Ba. According to the Arakanese chronicles, the young prince was athletic as well as an expert archer and marksman. He was later married to Saw Nandi and Saw Htin. He had a son, Dawlya, by Saw Nandi and two sons, Gamani and Narapati Sekkya, by Saw Htin. He also had at least two daughters.

Phyu was chosen as the heir apparent by the king in 1458. Min Swe, then governor of Launggyet, revolted, and came back with a force supplied by the Shan state of Kale (Kalay) in November 1458. However, Mrauk-U forces easily defeated the attack, clearing the way for Ba Saw Phyu as the undisputed heir apparent.

Reign
Soon after the Min Swe rebellion, King Khayi died, and Phyu succeeded the throne at age 29. The new king proved an ambitious king. In the first year of his reign, he took advantage of the turmoil at Sultan Rukunuddin Barbak Shah's court, and seized Chittagong. (Note that the Arakanese chronicles claim that the conquest of Chittagong came nine years earlier in 1450 by King Khayi.) The conquest of Chittagong pointed as much to Arakan's rise as to Bengal's "weakness". After the conquest of Chittagong, Ba Saw Phyu issued a coin bearing the kalima in Persian script "as a token of sovereignty" over Chittagong.

His reign was largely peaceful although rebellions did break out from time to time. In 1461, the lord of Tanlwe revolted. On 23 May 1476 (Thursday, 1st waxing of 1st Waso 838 ME), the Thet people revolted. Both were easily put down but the most serious rebellion came in 1481 when Chittagong revolted. In December 1481 (Natdaw 843), he marched to Chittagong. The city was taken only after a fierce battle that lasted several days. The control of the city exchanged hands several times but Arakanese forces eventually prevailed. The chronicles report that Ba Saw Phyu chased the rebels deep into Bengal.

The king founded a town called Pyin-htaung in 1463. In 1471, he expanded Mrauk-U city and built new moats and water canals. For religion, he built the Mahabodhi Shwe-Gu Temple, on a hill northwest of the palace. The temple's octagonal plan is attributed to the Le-Mro period. He also established religious contacts with Ceylon, which presented him the Tripiṭaka, Theravada Buddhism's sacred texts.

Death
Though "highly praised by his countrymen" for his enlightened rule, the king was assassinated by a servant of his eldest son Dawlya on 5 August 1482. Dawlya had been unhappy about the king's recent decision to anoint his younger half-brother Gamani as the heir apparent. The king was 52. The patricidal Dawlya succeeded him.

Family vacation has Federer ready for U.S. Open charge
Roger Federer of Switzerland signs autographs after a press conference prior to the US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center
New York - Federer produced a vintage display to beat old rival Rafa Nadal in the last four at Wimbledon
Published: Fri 23 Aug 2019, 10:03 PM
Last updated: Sat 24 Aug 2019, 12:07 AM
Roger Federer needed a couple of days to get over his heartbreaking Wimbledon final loss but a family caravan vacation around the Swiss countryside proved the perfect tonic.
Federer, who will chase a record-extending 21st Grand Slam title at the Aug. 26-Sept. 8 U.S. Open in New York, struggled with the five-set defeat to Novak Djokovic for a short time, but could not dwell on the missed opportunity.
"I was setting up tables and organising my life for my four children, driving around the beautiful countryside in Switzerland," Federer said on Friday at a U.S. Open Media Day inside Louis Armstrong Stadium.
"Sometimes you have flashbacks, things like, 'Oh, I could have done that', 'should have done that'.
"The next day you're having a glass of wine with your wife thinking, 'The semis was pretty good, even the finals was pretty good'. You go in phases."
Federer produced a vintage display to beat old rival Rafa Nadal in the last four at Wimbledon but in the final he failed to convert two championship points on his own serve in the fifth set against Djokovic.
Since then, Federer has played one U.S. Open tune-up event, where he suffered a shocking and swift third-round humbling at the hands of Russian qualifier Andrey Rublev.
Yet despite playing just two hardcourt matches ahead of the year's final Grand Slam, the 38-year-old Swiss said he is happy with where his game is at and has actually taken positives from his Wimbledon letdown.
"I've been playing well. Playing well in slams recently, which has been great," said Federer. "I think also the win over Rafa in the semis was big for me. Also the finals, the way I played that in Wimbledon, is going to give me some extra confidence."
Federer won five consecutive U.S. Open titles from 2004-2008 but has not enjoyed much success here recently as he struggled with the heat in a fourth-round loss last year and in 2017 battled back issues during his run to the quarter-finals.
"I'm not putting extra pressure on myself. I know it's going to be tough," said Federer, who will face a yet-to-be named qualifier in the first round.
"I'm not coming in as the overwhelming favorite like maybe I did back in 2006 or 2007. I'm very much aware of how I need to approach this tournament mentally.
"It's going to be a tough tournament to win, no doubt about it. I feel like I'm part of that group who can do it."

Q: WPF TreeView Scrolled to Bottom automatically? WPF default TreeView is scrolled to bottom of the node automatically where as we need to show the top view of the tree view. How to do that?
Also I could not get the scroll viewer by walking down the Visual Tree.

A: Preselect top node and call TreeViewItem.BringIntoView method on selection changed event. Call TreeView.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(e.NewValue) to get hold of the TreeViewItem.

A: This code is very rough.
The key to getting the TreeViewItem.BringIntoView() to get an item to the top, is to first scroll the TreeView to the bottom rather than the top.
To do this, we need to access the ScrollViewer inside the TreeView's control template first.  Lots of messing around IMO, that should have been provided in the framework from the outset.
Your item control in this case, should be your TreeViewItem that you are trying to get to the top.
The uxTree control is the TreeView.
item.IsSelected = true;
ScrollViewer scroller = (ScrollViewer)this.FindVisualChildElement(this.uxTree, typeof(ScrollViewer));
scroller.ScrollToBottom();
item.BringIntoView();

private FrameworkElement FindVisualChildElement(DependencyObject element, Type childType)
{
    int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(element);

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        var dependencyObject = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(element, i);
        var fe = (FrameworkElement)dependencyObject;

        if (fe.GetType() == childType)
        {
            return fe;
        }

        FrameworkElement ret = null;

        if (fe.GetType().Equals(typeof(ScrollViewer)))
        {
            ret = FindVisualChildElement((fe as ScrollViewer).Content as FrameworkElement, childType);
        }
        else
        {
            ret = FindVisualChildElement(fe, childType);
        }

        if (ret != null)
        {
            return ret;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

Home Events Friday Late – Woodstock 50th Anniversary
Friday Late – Woodstock 50th Anniversary
A Night of Peace and Music
Don't miss out on the next Hendrix house party!
Join us for our next Hendrix Flat party. This time we'll be celebrating exactly 50 years since Woodstock, the festival that defined the Sixties.
We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Woodstock with a night of live music, DJs, dancing, and film projections all dedicated to Jimi Hendrix's legendary headline performance. Plus don't miss exclusive access to parts of the house usually closed to the public, including the stairs that Hendrix would have walked up to get to his third-floor flat, and the guest room where George Harrison famously stayed.
On the first floor, music will be brought to you – on vinyl only – by singer/songwriter, DJ and Soho Radio Host Iraina Mancini alongside DJs from the Handel & Hendrix in London team playing tracks from Jimi's record collection. Expect to hear anthems from some of the incredible lineup of the original festival – Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Sly and the Family Stone, Santana, Jefferson Airplane to name just a few!
We're also incredibly excited to be joined once again by The Meyer Dancers who'll be bringing their psychedelic Go-Go dancing back to Brook Street.
On the second floor we will have live acoustic sets by two of London's most exciting psychedelic groups. The first by Fire In Her Eyes, an all-girl, three-piece band from London who make catchy, psychedelic music influenced by pop, rock, folk and soul. Let their three-part harmonies mesmerise you.
The second by The Sitar Service, a group formed by classical Hindustani singer Sameer Khan, sitarist Rod Bourganos and percussionist Anthony Paine. The trio revisit and re-imagine themes of the late 60s & early 70s Rock Music and blend it with Hindustani classical Ragas, taking the listener on a sensorial journey.
Up on the third floor, next to Jimi's bedroom, our resident guitarist Nigel Jones will be running a live blues jam session for anyone to take part in.
All that plus face painting, a pop-up bar and a craft session to make your own Woodstock-inspired piece of clothing.
If you're still not convinced, check out what our last Hendrix Flat party was like here.

It's the time of year for focusing on fitness, health, and self-improvement; and, as to be expected, I'm busier than ever with clients looking to shed pounds and to take the New Year by storm.
I love seeing this renewed enthusiasm for fitness and the surge of motivation in the air! I hope that you're feeling it too.
What's not as awesome is the struggle that I see so many of you endure when it comes to shedding pounds and transforming your body to firm and toned. Improving your fitness level should be enjoyable, and it's my sole purpose to help you in this process of achieving your best body and best health yet.
Let's start with the easiest fitness hack of all, something that I can almost guarantee you're not doing. By making this small change to your daily routine you'll quickly find those unwanted pounds coming off quickly and easily.
The easiest fitness hack that you're not doing is to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water daily.
Now I know that sounds boring, but take a moment to reflect on your water intake over the past few days. Did you even get close to the minimum of 64 ounces? Really, for optimal fat loss, you want to be drinking closer to a gallon of water each day.
When it comes down to the technical process of losing fat, your liver is where the action is. The key to having a highly functional liver, one that quickly removes metabolic waste and built up toxins, is to be properly hydrated by drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day.
Your liver is a filter for your body. When you aren't drinking enough water, your liver accumulates a build up of waste product that slows the process of fat metabolism down.
Without getting too technical about the science of fat loss, it's important that you understand that your hormones play an important role in your body's ability to lose fat. When your body enters a state of dehydration, your organ and digestive functions are compromised, which in turn negatively impacts hormonal balance.
This stress, brought on by dehydration, impacts your adrenal glands, signaling the need for an increase in cortisol, which encourages your body to begin storing fat, rather than burning it.
Now that you understand the science behind water and weight loss, let's examine the positive effect that proper hydration has on your daily caloric intake.
By drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water daily, your desire for high calorie, sugary drinks like soda and high fructose juices will diminish. This decrease in fattening calories really adds up!
In addition to weight loss, drinking water has an infinite number of benefits – including improved skin complexion, boosted immune system, cleansing toxins out of the body, etc.
While it's important to drink plenty of water in general, be sure you're increasing your amount before and after your workouts. The more you sweat, the more water you lose, and it's important to replace that lost water to avoid dehydration.
Does this make sense? Remember: Drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day.
I hope that you find this simple fitness hack to be helpful in your quest for a new and improved you this year! Remember that participating in a challenging and consistent exercise program is absolutely vital when it comes to getting into great shape.
I'm here to help you on your fitness journey. Call or email me today to get started!
Water ALSO Boosts Your Energy!
When you're dehydrated, your body becomes sluggish, tired, and even irritable.
Which means productivity is out the window.
The next time you feel tempted to hit the vending machine for a "pick-me-up" sugar filled snack during the 3pm slump, try chugging a tall glass of water.
You'll see your energy and mood get the boost it needs to power through the day. So drink up, my friend, drink up!
Is there anything better than single skillet dinners? I wish every meal only required a single pot, pan or skillet! That would sure save us some clean up time. This recipe, for Skillet Fried Chicken with Apple, is everything that a comforting, cold weather dinner should be. The chicken is lightly coated in coconut flour, giving it the feel of fried chicken without the extra fat, calories and guilt. Apple cider and fresh apples along with fresh sage bring seasonal flavors and close-your-eyes worthy taste.
1. Season the chicken tenders on both sides with salt and pepper. Set 1 Tablespoon of the coconut flour aside, and dredge the chicken through the remaining coconut flour, shaking off the excess.
2. In a 12-inch skillet place 2 Tablespoons of the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
3. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 Tablespoon of coconut flour and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Deglaze the skillet with the broth and cider and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
5 .Add the apples, vinegar and sage. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer until the apples soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet, and cover with the sauce. Garnish with fresh sage leaves. Enjoy!

As the ecological conditions on Motavia continued to deteriorate after the destruction of Mother Brain, the Artificial Intelligence systems responsible for maintaining the world determined that humans needed an edge if they were to continue to survive on the harsh world. To this end, the project that created Neifirst and Nei was revived. Rika is the final result of the revived project.
For the first year of her life, Rika lived the Bio-plant facility located in Zema's Birth Valley. She was trained and taught by Seed, the controlling A.I. of the facility, and Wren. Rika left the Bio-plant following the arrival of Alys Brangwin and her comrades. She continued to travel with this group as one of the four core members, growing close to Chaz Ashley and eventually entering into a romantic relationship with him.
During her travels, Rika displayed a heightened sensitivity to evil magic, particularly the Black Energy Wave. This trait, shared with Rune Walsh, allowed her to sense the locations of Dark Force entities.

When Checkr first opened its doors in 2014, we were a small team working out of a warehouse in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. It's where we built the foundation of our product, brought on our first customers, and laid the groundwork for our mission of building a fairer future. We've come a long way since then, from rolling out new, innovative products to growing our headquarters to over 300 employees. To keep up with the rapid growth and scale our business, we knew we had to expand and tap into new pools of eager, passionate talent. That meant looking beyond our California HQ and extending Checkr across the United States. To that end, we're excited to share that Checkr will be opening its second headquarters in Denver, Colorado.
We're thrilled to announce Cory Louie has joined Checkr as Chief Trust & Security Officer, where he will lead information and physical security, risk and compliance, privacy and strategic trust initiatives. Cory will serve as a member of the Executive Team, reporting into Daniel Yanisse, our CEO and co-founder.
Cory joins Checkr at an inflection point in our business as we continue our trajectory as the leading provider of modern and compliant background checks. In four years, we've scaled to run 1.5 million background checks per month for more than 10,000 customers, supporting the hiring needs within the sharing economy, enterprise companies, and other organizations.
The rise of search engines has made it easy—maybe a little too easy—to believe that we can look up almost anything, near-instantly, with little more than a couple of keystrokes.
A few weeks ago, the state of California introduced legislation to automate expungement of arrests and low-level convictions, which currently qualify for expungement under existing law. With this new bill, California is taking active steps to removing a major barrier for people with criminal records.
Today's staffing agencies are facing more competition than ever before. Whether it's from large Online Staffing Platforms, such as Wonolo, Field Nation, and BlueCrew, or from the new players in the On-Demand economy, including Uber and Postmates. These companies have really changed the game when it comes to providing a seamless application and onboarding process for candidates. As an agency, you'll want to consider how much you invest in updating your processes, whether you decide to build a platform in-house, buy a white-labeled online staffing platform or select vendors that will automate the most critical parts of your process, you need to develop a strategy to attract candidates to maintain your competitive edge.
Even if you're staffing agency who doesn't directly compete with these new platforms, it's still a good idea to study them. You should be thinking about how to optimize parts of your process to improve the candidate experience, and since no one is doing it better than these companies, they're the ones you'll want to emulate as you adapt your strategies.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves in nearly every industry, and HR is no exception. 80% of executives believe AI will improve productivity and performance at their business. Meanwhile, companies are already using the technology to schedule meetings, suggest replies to an email, start conversations with visitors on their websites, and automatically analyze data for new trends or threats.
In particular, we're seeing AI being used in the realm of recruiting and hiring. In fact, more than half of HR managers in the U.S. believe they will regularly use AI in their work within the next five years. However, despite all the hype around the technology, many businesses are still slow to incorporate it into their processes. If you're one of them, here are a few reasons why you need to start incorporating AI into your hiring process.
Today more than 90% of the American population has a smartphone. In 2018, those Americans spent 1,460 hours on their smartphone and other mobile devices (equivalent to 91 waking days). So it should come as no surprise that businesses are putting their best foot forward when it comes to mobile. Consumers can now buy products, use services, and schedule appointments all with a few taps on their phones. However, despite this upward trend, not all businesses have incorporated mobile into their hiring processes. As a result, they're missing out on a lot of potential talent (in fact, over 90% of job seekers use their phones to find a new role). If you're one of them, here are three important reasons you might want to make mobile a part of your hiring strategy.
Every year, companies, big and small, gather at the JobTrain Bridge Summit to share their knowledge and ideas, celebrate innovation and inclusivity, and learn new methods to help develop a talented and diverse workforce. This year, our very own VP of Talent, Arthur Yamamoto and Manager of Mid-Market Sales, Ian Harriman attended the event on behalf of Checkr and accepted the 2019 Innovation Award! The Bridge Innovation Awards are an opportunity to honor the new, experimental models within the company with exceptional hiring practices for people with nontraditional backgrounds.
We're excited to welcome Lydia Varmazis as our new VP of Product! Lydia comes to Checkr with over 20 years of product experience at some of the world's most prominent companies. Most recently, Lydia served as SVP of Product at Westfield Retail Solutions and has held senior leadership roles at Paypal, where she managed the identity platform, Ning, and Adobe, where she moved Creative Suite from a desktop model to the Creative Cloud.

Milestone Aviation, Leonardo send three AW169s to Falcon Aviation
By Milestone Aviation
Milestone Aviation Group and Leonardo have announced that Falcon Aviation of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) will expand its AgustaWestland AW169 helicopter fleet with the addition of a further three aircraft.
The light-intermediate twin helicopters will have multi-mission capability with entry into service in first quarter of 2018. The aircraft will be acquired through operating lease, and represent the first helicopter lease transaction for Falcon.
"We are delighted to partner with Falcon Aviation and grow our presence in the Middle East," said Milestone vice president commercial, Michael York. "When Milestone invested in a team in Dubai two years ago it was with the goal of building our support for local operators like Falcon."
"Falcon Aviation was the global launch customer for the offshore-configured AW169, and subsequently took delivery of a VIP configured AW169" said Leonardo Helicopters' chief business officer Carlo Gualdaroni. "We are thrilled the unique capabilities of this new generation model have met Falcon's diverse operating goals and they have chosen to increase their fleet to include 11 Leonardo Helicopters."
With the addition of three AW169, Falcon Aviation's fleet will include five AW169, two AW189 helicopters and four additional Grand and GrandNew light-twin helicopters. The AW169 and AW189 models, used by Falcon Aviation, are part of Leonardo's family of new generation helicopters that also includes the AW139. These helicopters all possess the same high-performance flight characteristics and safety features whilst sharing the same common cockpit concept and design philosophy. This approach facilitates synergies for operators of fleets across the 4 to 9 tonne weight categories in areas such as training, flight operations, maintenance and support. The combination of AW169 and AW189 offshore gives Falcon Aviation and its customer's unmatched benefits in terms of efficiency, capability and safety.
Falcon Aviation have also recently set a major operational milestone with their first AW169 which has become the global fleet leader in terms of flight hours, out of a total of 40 helicopters of this model in service with customers worldwide to date.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis and Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum have clashed over health care as they battle in the Nov. 6 election.
But when it comes to the nuts and bolts of providing access to coverage, it may be their running mates who have a deeper knowledge of the industry and the ripple effects that potential changes could have across the state.
DeSantis, who has sharply criticized the federal Affordable Care Act and government-provided health care, tapped as his running mate state Rep. Jeanette Nunez, a Miami Republican whose income comes in part from a public hospital that relies heavily on Medicaid.
Gillum, meanwhile, chose as his running mate Winter Park businessman Chris King, who spelled out a detailed health-care proposal while running unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for Governor. King has shied away from discussing the concept known as "Medicare for all," which Gillum embraced in the primary.
Health care has become a major issue in the race for Governor and in numerous other races. A key part of that issue is the role government programs, such as Medicaid and Medicare, should play in the health-care system.
While DeSantis criticizes the Affordable Care Act and government programs, his running mate has deep ties to the public Jackson Memorial Hospital, one of South Florida's most important health-care providers.
A financial-disclosure form filed with the state shows that Nunez drew a $148,000 salary last year from OnPoint Strategies, a consulting firm she launched in 2013 after she left a job with Kendall Regional Medical Center.
The firm's biggest client, according to the form, is Jackson Memorial. Public hospitals have been among the biggest proponents in recent years of efforts to expand eligibility for Medicaid, a key element of the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.
While Nunez has a long track record on health-care issues, the DeSantis campaign has come under fire for not releasing a detailed health-care plan ahead of the election. But Gillum, who as Tallahassee mayor has a limited record of dealing with health-care issues, also hasn't released a detailed plan explaining his priorities.
Gillum is quick to support Obamacare, and with it, a Medicaid expansion for many low-income adults who are currently blocked from getting coverage in Florida. Medicaid is a government program that pays health-care costs for poor and disabled people.
Outgoing Republican Gov. Rick Scott and the GOP-controlled Florida House have blocked attempts to expand Medicaid, while 32 other states have approved such expansions under Obamacare.
Gillum also supports a popular provision of former President Barack Obama's signature law that provides protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
But during the Democratic primary campaign, Gillum also came out in support of "Medicare for all," which is an alternative to Obamacare espoused by Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont progressive who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. Even though "Medicare for all" would have to be approved by Congress and not at the state level, Gillum's stance helped earn him Sanders' endorsement.
While "Medicare for all" and Obamacare have a similar goal of ensuring more people have access to health coverage, the approaches are different. Obamacare works to make private insurance affordable and largely picks up the tab for states to expand Medicaid eligibility.
In contrast, "Medicare for all" would allow all Americans to enroll in the Medicare program, which currently is limited to people who are 65 or older or have disabilities. But it would also fold funding for existing health care programs — including Medicare, Medicaid and the military's TRICARE — into one new program.
"Medicare for all" would replace private insurers with a public insurance system, and employers and individuals wouldn't choose plans. They essentially would be enrolled in a program.
King, who was one of five candidates in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, did not come out in support of the Medicare-for-all proposal during the primary campaign. He released a detailed health-care proposal showing how he would work to improve Obamacare by increasing the number of insurance companies selling health policies on the federal health-insurance exchange.
King's plan would have required the insurance companies that want to sell Medicare plans in the state or participate in Medicaid to also write on the exchange.
After becoming Gillum's running mate, King has stumped across the state promising that he and Gillum would work to do everything they can to protect Medicare, which he described as an "extraordinary program that serves so many of Florida's seniors." But that is not the same thing as the Medicare-for-all concept.
Gillum also is now appearing to sidestep questions about the Medicare proposal.
In their first debate Sunday, DeSantis repeatedly hit Gillum over his past support for "Medicare for all," even asking him pointedly if he would sign legislation that would put the system in place in Florida.
Gillum did not address his support for the proposal and, instead criticized DeSantis, a former congressman, for votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
"His votes have deluded him into his own definition of what health care is," Gillum said.
DeSantis and Nunez are on the record saying details of their health care plans will be released. But with two weeks left before the election, that hasn't occurred.
DeSantis' answer to a reporter's question this week, though, shows insight into how Nunez may be helping shape his positions. Scott and House leaders, including Nunez, tried unsuccessfully to eliminate an arcane health-care licensure program called certificate of need.
They offered it as an alternative to Medicaid expansion, arguing that the licensure requirement is an unnecessary regulation that enables some providers to monopolize the health-care delivery system.
While their efforts fell short, DeSantis has appeared to take up the cause.
"Health care is really the only area that where if you go to a building on one side of the street, a procedure may cost $5,000 but if you go two blocks the other way the same thing can cost $17,000. It makes no sense," DeSantis said.
