The Aboriginal Rights series consists of 10 subseries arranged by subject, based on supplied subject titles. Materials were created between 1939 and 2012. This series contains research, background material, and government publications on aboriginal peoples in Canada and the Indian Act. Overall, this series addresses two main issues: first, equal status rights for aboriginal men and women, and second, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Additional topics include: aboriginal self-government, aboriginal women's groups, amending the Indian Act for discrimination, the effect of the constitution on aboriginal rights, interpretation of history, land claims and land development, inheritance and estate administration for people who live on reserves, a scandal surrounding corruption at Petroglyph Provincial Park in Ontario, aboriginal rights in respect to Quebec sovereignty, solidarity between bands and nations, government relations and policies with respect to various aboriginal groups, bands, and nations, Elijah Harper effectively ending the Meech Lake Accord, and missing and murdered aboriginal women.
The fight for the equal rights of aboriginal women was largely spearheaded by Mohawk activist Mary Two-Axe Earley from Kahnawake, Quebec, who fought for aboriginal equality issues in band politics and with the federal government. Under the Indian Act, aboriginal women lost their Indian status if they married a man who did not have status, however a woman would gain status if she married an aboriginal man who held status. If a woman married a man from a different band they would lose their band status. Court cases fighting to amend the Indian Act so that status could not be taken away were appealed all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, fought by Mary Two-Axe Early, Jeannette Lavell, Yvonne Bedard, and Vivian Corbiere Lavell. Marguerite Ritchie and the HRI supported these court cases and offered research aid. Marguerite Ritchie also counted Mary Two-Axe Earley as a personal friend. After the courts amended the Indian Act so as not to discriminate against women, activism continued to change band policies that allowed male band leaders to refuse to accept women back onto reserves even if they had status.
The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples reviewed the relocation of Inuit families from the Quebec coast of Hudson's Bay to the high arctic in Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay in the early 1950s. The Royal Commission was called after the children of the relocated Inuit families accused the government of wrongdoing and asked for compensation. The Commission looked into the alleged reasons for the relocations including claims that the Inuit faced starvation and claims that the Cold War era government wanted people living in the high arctic so they would have a stronger land claims. The Commission also gathered testimony on the RCMP officers who oversaw the relocations and the town store for instances of exploitation or wrongdoing. Royal Commissions do not lay charges against those they feel have committed wrongdoings. The HRI and Marguerite Ritchie felt the Royal Commission did not have a high enough standard of proof for testimonies given and that the government, Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, and the RCMP were being misrepresented to and by the Commission. Bent Gestur Sivertz, Commissioner of the Northwest Territories at the time of the relocations, maintained throughout that the Inuit who were relocated were happy and healthy and fared better in the long run than many of the Inuit who had not been relocated. Historian Gerard Kenney wrote a book entitled "Arctic Smoke and Mirrors" based on the government's archive from the period, supporting the position of the HRI and Marguerite Ritchie and dismissing charges that the relocations were related to Cold War land claims. Marguerite Ritchie believed the Inuit who asked for a Royal Commission to be called were only trying to receive monetary compensation and did not have substantiated claims. Marguerite Ritchie was a personal friend of Bent Gestur Sivertz. This series contains significant documentation and testimony from the government perspective on the relocations, but does not address Inuit claims in significant detail.

Series 3 consists of J. Peter Meekison's constitutional material, documenting his role as Minister of the Alberta Government Department of Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs, and his subsequent work as a Constitutional Adviser for the Alberta Government. The records are textual, with one video tape recording, and are in excellent physical condition. The arrangement of the records is essentially chronological, with an original file plan followed for organizing a large section of the earlier records found in this series.
Series three consists of Peter Meekison's Constitutional material and is further arranged within four sub-series. The first sub-series is arranged according to an original color-coded file scheme applied when the files were current. The color-coded files include briefing books, 'process and position' files, administrative arrangements, transcripts, reports and news articles, etc. related to various First Minister meetings, and committee meetings surrounding the constitutional reform discussions. Many of these files were created while Peter Meekison was Minister of Alberta Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs and relate to the amending of the Constitution Act in 1982. A set of coded files is included in this series which addresses non-Constitutional issues his Ministry was dealing with. In his capacity as constitutional adviser to the provincial government post 1984, there is material related to the Senate Reform Task Force meetings, and the constitutional committee work leading to the Meech Lake Accord discussions and the 1992 Charlottetown Accord. Included in this series are numerous constitutional background material files which provide further insight into the constitutional process and debate, and numbered documents related to the 1992 Constitutional Accord.
The textual records in this series contain material related more generally to Peter Meekison's professional career, which is relevant to both his research interests with the Department of Political Science at the University, and his constitutional work with the Government of Alberta. The material includes correspondence files, meeting minutes and documents, papers and some published material as well as small bound appointment diaries. The records are arranged either chronologically or alphabetically within each sub-series and are in good physical condition.
The records in this series provide an overview of the many professional activities J. Peter Meekison actively juggled in his academic and administrative career. There are six sub-series within the series, further documenting these activities. Included are correspondence files, organized into the chronological files maintained by Meekison while serving as Deputy-Minister and then Minister of the Department of Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs; general correspondence files; and 'people' correspondence files maintained alphabetically by sir-name of the correspondent. Other sub-series include professional association and related committee and board work files; conference and workshop participation files; writing and publishing records; and personal appointment books. Finally, a series of reference/research files is maintained in this series, organized alphabetically by subject title, and used by Meekison in both his teaching and consultation work.
The records in this series related to J. Peter Meekison's position as a Commissioner on the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, one of the largest Royal Commissions established by the Federal Government. The records consists of meeting documents, inquiry submissions, briefing books and reports and are in excellent physical condition.
This record series is broad and encompasses many aspects of a Royal Commission of Inquiry. The series is further organized into eight sub-series, documenting meeting minutes and records; the writing and editing of final RCAP reports; policy team files; public hearings and copies of written submissions to the Commission; reports; Commission administrative records; and background information and reference documents. The series contents provide a wealth of information about both the work and process involved in undertaking a Royal Commission Inquiry, as well as providing a rich resource of information and research results on the history and culture of Canada's aboriginal people.

Part of Office of the Registrar and Student Awards fonds
The Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta gives General Faculties Council (GFC) responsibility, subject to the authority of the Board of Governors, over "academic affairs" (section 26(1)) and over "standards and policies respecting the admission of persons to the university as students" (section 26(1)(n)). Further, the Post-Secondary Learning Act gives the Board of Governors authority over "admission requirements" (sections 60(1)(c) and (d)). The Board has delegated its authority over admission requirements to GFC. The Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta gives Faculty Councils power to "provide for the admission of students to the faculty" (29(1)(c)). The admission requirements for any Faculty is approved by GFC and published in the current edition of the University Calendar.
The responsibility for admissions decisions is vested in the Faculty Admission Committees or in the Deans of the respective Faculties, as the councils of such Faculties will determine. The responsibility for admission decisions for Open Studies remains in the Office of the Registrar and Student Awards.
The Office of the Registrar, as Chair of the original Admissions Committee, served as the first principle administrative entity responsible for admissions. As the university student body and administrative structure grew, responsibility for admissions was distributed through various faculties, the Senate, and the General Faculties Council. Until 1969, when authority was transferred to the newly created Secretariat's Office, the Registrar served as Secretary of the General Faculties Council, the principle oversight body for admissions. The Registrar remains an ex-officio member of this council and continues to supply policy advice and execute admissions policy for the University. The principal admissions activities include: liaison (high school and college), access, information distribution, orientation, application processing, document evaluation, and transfer credit.
The records in this series reflect the distributed authority of the admissions functions. Predominantly textual, the records consists of committee meeting minutes, interdepartmental correspondence, correspondence with student applicants, deliberation on policy formulation including research, consultation with other schools, and advice to councilors and high schools concerning matriculation and admission requirements.

The University Senate began to administer student awards in the first year of the school's existence. The Senate reported in its second meeting in July 1908, that competition for the Scholarship Matriculation examination suffered from few matriculated students eligible to sit the exam. As a result, only one student, Mr. Charles F. Reilly of Calgary, wrote the exam and "accordingly" won the scholarship. The Senate requested the donors of the $100 scholarship continue to offer the award. The donors, A.W. Dougall, and University President Alexander Cameron Rutherford, agreed (Senate Minutes, vol. 0, p.38, U.A.A.). The Board of Governors first formally addressed administration of student awards on December 13th, 1918 when it passed a motion to appropriate $200 "from the University Fund for scholarship purposes." (BofG Minutes, vol. 0/17, p. 252, U.A.A.). The Registrar's Office was originally charged with administering bursaries and awards. In 1959-60 the Registrar ceased to be directly responsible for the administration of scholarships and bursaries. In that year the responsibility was transferred to the newly established Office of the Administration of Student Awards. Responsibility, as it concerns all students other than graduate students registered in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, for making rules and regulations respecting academic awards shall be delegated by General Faculties Council to the Executive Committee. (G.F.C. 02 DEC 1966). Responsibility for the administration of awards has been delegated to the Office of Student Awards in the Office of the Registrar. The series consists of documentation of student awards administered by the Office of the Registrar.
The 73 files comprising this series represent the public recognition Dr. Lemieux received for his contribution to scientific research in the discipline of Chemistry.

Another FlushDraw exclusive look into the ongoing story of the so-called Taiwanchik-Trincher Organization veers this time into another interesting story, the delayed sentencing for one of the peripheral players in the case, Stan "Slava" Greenberg.
Greenberg is one 34 defendants in the case, which prominently features a dozen or so poker pros — usually in minor roles, as informal bookies accepting and relaying sports bets — and several members of New York City's Russian-American community. The common link is Russian-American poker pro Vadim Trincher, who along with international fugitive Alimzhan "Taiwanchik" Tokhtakhounov, are alleged to have helped funnel tens of millions of dollars in illicit gambling proceeds under the control of the Russian Mob.
Prosecutors have alleged in related documents that two separate Russian organized-crime rings were involved in the offshore parts of the operations. Greenberg, according to a press release issued by the USAO last year, assisted Trincher and other leaders of the interconnected gambling rings in laundering some of the proceeds.
Nor was it Greenberg's only role. Greenberg also stepped in as the new management in the gambling ring's extortionate takeover of New York City-based Titan Plumbing, though whether Greenberg himself understood the nature of how Trincher organization acquired the firm remains a point of defense dispute. Titan's owner, Pete Skyllas, affectionately known as "Pete the Plumber," was strong-armed for a share of his plumbing company after running up seven figures of gambling debt, including the high-stakes poker games being held in Vadim Trincher's $6 million Trump Towers apartment.
Greenberg also engaged in some small-time bookie activity with the ring as well, depositing, by his lawyer's admission, about $5,000 related to bets into an account related to the enterprise.
Separately, Greenberg defense attorney Roger K. Marion asserts that Greenberg worked at Titan for 21 months, drawing an ordinary salary, and then was fired and replaced by another person.
It is unknown at this time whether the government alleges that Sall and Trincher are the "S" and "T" of the S & T Capital finance vehicle.
Greenberg's sentencing was originally scheduled for February 27th, but has been pushed back at the request of USAO prosecutors. Greenberg admitted his technical guilt when he pled guilt last October, becoming the 12th of the case's 34 defendants to do so, but it appears his defense expected more leniency.
In a recent sentencing submission, USAO prosecutors asked for a 15- to 21-month sentence for Greenberg, while defense attorney Marion sought probation and time served for Greenberg. That wide gulf is at the root of the sentencing delay in the case.

Q: How to use officegen with Angular application to generate a word document? I have created a functional Angular application which contains multiple grids (created with ag-grid). Now, I need to extract that information in a report in the form of a word DOcument.
Using the officegen module:
Officegen module npm

generateReport.js

const officegen = require('officegen')
const fs = require('fs')

// Create an empty Word object:
let docx = officegen('docx')

// Officegen calling this function after finishing to generate the docx document:
docx.on('finalize', function(written) {
  console.log(
    'Finish to create a Microsoft Word document.'
  )
})

// Officegen calling this function to report errors:
pptx.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log(err)
})

// Create a new paragraph:
let pObj = docx.createP()

pObj.addText('Simple')
pObj.addText(' with color', { color: '000088' })
pObj.addText(' and back color.', { color: '00ffff', back: '000088' })

pObj = docx.createP()

pObj.addText('Since ')
pObj.addText('officegen 0.2.12', {
  back: '00ffff',
  shdType: 'pct12',
  shdColor: 'ff0000'
}) // Use pattern in the background.
pObj.addText(' you can do ')
pObj.addText('more cool ', { highlight: true }) // Highlight!
pObj.addText('stuff!', { highlight: 'darkGreen' }) // Different highlight color.

pObj = docx.createP()

pObj.addText('Even add ')
pObj.addText('external link', { link: 'https://github.com' })
pObj.addText('!')

pObj = docx.createP()

pObj.addText('Bold + underline', { bold: true, underline: true })

pObj = docx.createP({ align: 'center' })

pObj.addText('Center this text', {
  border: 'dotted',
  borderSize: 12,
  borderColor: '88CCFF'
})

pObj = docx.createP()
pObj.options.align = 'right'

pObj.addText('Align this text to the right.')

pObj = docx.createP()

pObj.addText('Those two lines are in the same paragraph,')
pObj.addLineBreak()
pObj.addText('but they are separated by a line break.')

docx.putPageBreak()

pObj = docx.createP()

pObj.addText('Fonts face only.', { font_face: 'Arial' })
pObj.addText(' Fonts face and size.', { font_face: 'Arial', font_size: 40 })

docx.putPageBreak()

pObj = docx.createP()

// We can even add images:
pObj.addImage('some-image.png')

// Let's generate the Word document into a file:

let out = fs.createWriteStream('example.docx')

out.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log(err)
})

// Async call to generate the output file:
docx.generate(out)

Running:

node generateReport.js

Would create a word document in the same folder of that file. The word document contains all the information detailed in the code.
Up until now, this works perfectly.
However, I have been struggling now for a couple of days to integrate that code in my Angular application, mainly because of the fs module.
First, I tried to implement that code in a normal Angular service. It didn't work.
After doing some research, I learned that:

there's no way you can access  fs in the client.
The problem is that js files running in your backend node.js
  environment on a server are isolated from yours  front-end javascript
  running inside the browser on a client machine. The only way, they can
  communicate is  through HTTP calls. In order to do this, you need to
  create a route, which can be reached from your client. Also,  you need
  to pass parameters via query string: /save?url=path
Angular applications run in the browser. Not in NodeJS on the server.
  There is no access to the file  system in the browser, and you can't
  use NodeJS-specific modules there

So it became clear why I was facing issues with fs.
Finally, here are my questions:
1/ What is the right way of implementing the generateReport code in my Angular app?
2/ Any tips for dealing with this front-end/back-end communications when it comes to files?
Thank you :)

Instead, Longwood is a freeze-frame testament to the demise of an opulent era when Natchez, a city of many mansions on the Mississippi River, boasted 11 millionaires — more per capita than any city in America. Nutt was one of them.
With the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War in 1861 and the spasms of rhetorical venom against all things Yankee, the Philadelphia artisans who were constructing Longwood put down their tools and fled north while the fleeing was good. They had completed only the exterior; 24 rooms inside remained unfinished and nearly empty.
Undaunted, Nutt turned his crew of slaves toward completing the basement as temporary living quarters. But because he, like many wealthy planters, had opposed the South's departure from the Union, fellow Mississippians burned his crops; then marauding Yankees stole every window frame, mantel, and chimney cap piled outside Longwood and made off with Nutt's wagons and livestock. He died a broke and broken man in 1864.
His widow, Julia, and their children hung onto the brick "Oriental villa," as it was described, surmounted by a "Persian dome," surviving for a time on weeds and soured milk. The estate stayed in family hands until 1968, when its owners donated it to the garden club.
Today, walking through Haller Nutt's Longwood, admiring the few furnishings — Haller's gout chair among them — one can still imagine the primitive, haunting scene of a century and a half ago. Exposed to the elements through uncompleted arch windows, Longwood's rusted paint cans, discarded tools, and never-completed woodwork are still in place, a ghostly symbol of the finality of war.
About six kilometers from the speck of a town called Comstock, population 60, stands a remarkable house, built in 1900. Remarkable, and quite the antithesis of a mansion.
It's made of "Nebraska marble." Quarried right out back in river bottomlands, this is not stone. It is old-fashioned Great Plains sod — tufts of coarse bluestem grass, clumped in rich soil and held together by an intricate web of roots.
Lacking enough trees for wood to build a house in 1900, homesteader William Ryan Dowse improvised. He sliced long, deep strips of sod with what was called a "grasshopper breaking plow," cut them into slices about 75 centimeters long, and stacked them — grass-side down — in rows that became the walls of his prairie home. Scarce wooden boards were laid across them to form joists and the outline of an attic. More sod was arranged atop the roof paper, and openings were cut for windows and doors.
Finally, cloth was hung below the ceiling to catch most of the dirt that kept falling from the ceiling onto the family below.
The Dowses moved away, and for a time the "soddy," as such houses were called, stood empty. Like thousands of other sod houses abandoned by families driven out by locusts, prairie fires, blizzards, droughts, epidemics, Indian attacks, and homesickness — the Dowses' empty home would have disintegrated had not neighbors and a descendant of Bill Dowse decided to restore the place. One of the jobs was a complete replastering, using old-time material made from sand, clay, and hog's hair.
I'd be remiss to omit what many believe is the most magnificent house museum of all.
Not even a multimillionaire would attempt a wholesale restoration of the 1.5-hectare, 225-room Biltmore House. That's right, the structure alone is that enormous. Not surprisingly, art collector and world traveler George W. Vanderbilt's 1895 stunner is the largest private home in America.
The name was Vanderbilt's contraction of "Bildt," the region in Holland where his family originated, and "more," an old English word meaning rolling countryside.
The mammoth home is so challenging to maintain that the staff must single out only limited projects each year. An emphasis one year was on just the mansion's nine 16th-century Flemish tapestries.
In the 1950s, the Biltmore first opened to the public the Louis XV-style bedroom of Vanderbilt's wife, Edith. When its wall and bed coverings were restored in the 1980s, French weavers used the same looms and jacquard cards employed by the original weavers 100 years earlier. It took three years to re-create the silk, brocaded velvet, yellow satin, and trims.
To satisfy the curiosity of visitors who wondered what lay behind the mansion's infinite number of walls and crannies, the staff began "back of the house" tours of rooms such as Mrs. Vanderbilt's maid's quarters and a sub-basement with its boiler room and marble-backed electric circuit-breaker.
Almost since George Washington Vanderbilt began to purchase the 51,000 hectares of farms, woods, and forested hillsides in the late 1880s, his family, which still owns the grand estate, has regarded historic preservation of the Biltmore House and Frederick Law Olmsted gardens as not a project, but a passion.
There's one more house I'd have told you about, but I've already tried your patience and need to stop here. So I'll make it your homework assignment to check out Hearst Castle in California.

Balustrade. A stairway handrail and the posts that support it.
Brocade. A rich fabric, often of gold or silver thread, with a raised pattern.
Gout chair. A rolling chair similar to a wheelchair, in which someone suffering from gout can get about without straining inflamed, painful feet.
Jacquard card. A punched card whose pattern corresponds to that of a fabric to be woven in a loom. The process is too complicated to further explain here.
Puritan. A member of a strict, highly structured Protestant community active in the 16th and 17th centuries in Britain and its New England colonies in America.
Rathskeller. From the German, a beer hall in a home or restaurant's basement.
Scion. The term is taken from biology, in which a scion is the offshoot of a plant. More often, the word describes the descendant — almost always male — of a prominent family.
Speakeasy. An establishment, carefully guarded by a suspicious doorman, that served alcoholic drinks during the Prohibition period from 1923 to 1933, when such sales were banned. Pirate hideouts once carried the name, and a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, woman who sold liquor without a license is said to have advised her customers to "speak easy" if they wanted to buy some.


Leighton Buzzard Garage Conversions: If you don't often use your garage for parking your car in, you might be able to make better use of it by turning it into a usable room with a garage conversion. In most cases there is no need for planning application and you are able to turn what may once have been a cold, messy storage space into a warm, comfortable and spacious room that is suitable for a whole range of functions.
You can start by calling in a local garage conversion company and asking their advice about the possible uses of an extra room gained in this way. It may be that you need an extra bedroom as children grow older or you may wish to extend your liveable home space to include a dining room or create a new family bathroom. Your local Leighton Buzzard garage conversion specialist will make your dream a reality, whichever of these you choose.
A garage conversion can certainly increase the selling potential of your home, if you are planning to sell it. Although you should consider this option carefully because in many areas off-road-parking is more valuable than having the extra living space. If converting will not increase the price of your home, a reputable Leighton Buzzard garage conversion company will point this out to you.
An architect will be employed by your chosen Leighton Buzzard garage conversion specialist to help in drawing up plans and making sure that your garage has been constructed in a manner that is suitable for the proposed conversion. The reason for this is that sometimes garages in Leighton Buzzard are built using different techniques to those used for residential buildings and they have to be re-fashioned before the conversion can start. Elements like footings or roofs may need to be changed to satisfy the current residential building regulations.
If you have picked a decent Leighton Buzzard garage conversion firm, you should be able to simply sit back and relax, leaving them to deal with all those complicated rules and regulations.
Leighton Buzzard garage conversion specialists will likely help you with construction drawings, garage conversion for a dining room, fixtures and fittings, garage conversions for a bedroom, garage renovation, garage conversion for a kitchen, garage modernization, garage design, garage conversions for rental, garage conversion for a utility room, garage extensions, garage conversions for a playroom, half garage conversions, interior fittings and other garage related stuff in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.

Mary Magdalene stumbled through the dawn until "Christ is risen" destroyed her faith in the grave. Mary heard it first, early in the morning. Death had been defeated. Not just Christ's, but because of his, hers as well.
How long did it take the news to reach Pontius Pilate? You know he heard it. Whispered as a rumor or hollered by a preacher. "Easter is for you, Pontius Pilate!"
History suggests he didn't believe a word.
Pilate could have changed. Easter could have healed whatever demon drove him. Why keep a death grip on power when you've been handed eternity? Pilate could have been transformed.
He had his chance. And he kept his faith in the grave. It's too late for him.
But not for you. Will Easter change you?
You could listen to wounded people tell their stories long after boredom has set in. You could let harried young parents go before you at the grocery store. Only a fool wants to rush through eternity. You could forgive. Forever is far too long to bear a grudge. You could call your loved ones from the office, pull your children out of school for a day at the zoo, stare at the sky for 45 minutes without moving, letting your soul become coordinated to the rhythm of spring breeze, blue sky, early daffodil.
You could go deeper, let down all of your defenses, take off all your armor. You don't need it anymore. Death itself has been defeated. Breathe deep. Live easy. Take a step toward heaven. Not by dying, but by realizing that death has been destroyed. Eternity has just begun. Christ is risen! Not as an isolated miracle, but as the first of many. Get ready. You might be next.
Thank you God! We don't understand Easter, but we grab ahold of it anyhow, rejoicing, unnerved and grateful as you lift us up with Jesus.

Devon drivers warned not to park on pavements
Published: 8:03 AM September 3, 2009 Updated: 4:00 PM November 7, 2020
DEVON County Council and Devon and Cornwall Police are warning drivers that they could be endangering lives by parking on pavements. Parking on pavements is an illegal obstruction of the highway which can cause problems for people with poor eyesight and
DEVON County Council and Devon and Cornwall Police are warning drivers that they could be endangering lives by parking on pavements.
Parking on pavements is an illegal obstruction of the highway which can cause problems for people with poor eyesight and mobility difficulties, and if on a pavement near a school it can also make it difficult for schoolchildren to see oncoming vehicles when crossing the road.
It can put pedestrians, wheelchair users and people with pushchairs at risk if they are forced into the road.
Where there are restrictions such as No Waiting, No Loading, Limited Waiting and marked bays, such as disabled bays, drivers can be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) by Civil Enforcement Officers. However, if the vehicle is causing an obstruction then it is a police matter.
Police neighbourhood teams are handing out warning leaflets in some cases, and making a note of vehicle registrations of offenders. In areas where laws are continually breached, or for particularly serious breaches, action will be taken and offenders could receive a Fixed Penalty with a fine of up to �30.
They may also have their vehicle removed and the cost of removal will have to be paid by the car owner before it is released back to them. This is in addition to the �30 fixed penalty fine. They could also be charged for the costs of repairing damage to the pavements and any service cables or pipes under the surface.
Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation, said: "Pavements are for pedestrians not vehicles. Not only is this anti-social, but it can seriously endanger people's safety, which all motorists must realise. It can also end up causing damage to pavements which aren't designed to take the weight of vehicles, and ends up adding to the County's highway maintenance costs."
Chief Inspector Andrew Tomlinson, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "Neighbourhood policing is about dealing with the issues that are important to communities and have an adverse impact on people's day to day lives.
"When consulting the public, inconsiderate and dangerous parking is one of the most frequently raised concerns. Cars parked in such a way to cause an obstruction cause inconvenience and in many cases a hazard.
"This hazard often has a particular impact on the most vulnerable members of the community. Obstruction remains an offence that is dealt with by the police. It is our aim to improve standards of driving and parking through advice and education wherever practical, but enforcement powers will also be used where necessary."
Driving along the pavement is also an offence which carries a fine of up to �1,000.

All states except Sikkim yet to notify RTE rules
Five months have passed, deadline is September 30

Even after more than five months since the Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009 came into effect across the country, many states are yet to notify the rules.
The states, according to their specific conditions and requirement, were supposed to notify their rules based on the model rules prepared by the centre. Till date the only state which has notified the rules is Sikkim, says Kiran Bhatty, national commissioner (RTE), National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), the body responsible for monitoring the implementation of the act.
"There are six-eight states including Madhya Pradesh and Orissa which have drafted the rules but have not notified yet. But all states will have to norify the rules before September 30, which is the deadline," she said. The guidelines formed by the states will address forming School Management Committees (SMC) and change in admission procedure.
Emphasising the importance of grievances redressal system in the act, Bhatty said NCPCR is attempting to find local solutions. "We want the system to find the solution within itself. So that grievances are addressed as locally and as quickly as possible." In this system, she said, local authorities like zila parishads and gram panchayats have to be designated by the department of education of all the states, to play their role.
The act, which came into effect on April 1, also talks of reserving 25 percents seats in the private schools for children coming from economically weaker sections. On this Bhatty said that though a system has not been finalised yet but the commission will ensure that selection is done publicly and schools will have to report to the commission. She added that the commission is networking with civil society groups for their role in making the implemetation a success.
The act also talks about the quality education which, Bhatty said, can only be accomplished through good teachers. She added, "Till date it was thought that if you cannot be in any other profession then be a teacher. Or take up a teaching job in a government school, where you hardly have to work. That mindset towards this profession has to be changed. We have witnessing the downward trend in the teaching and now we have to start from the scratch and it will take time."

The custom font we use here, and in some of our other ebooks is one our family made; our oldest son is a graphic artist, and helped develop this while he was in college. It is kind of a cross between D'Nealian and Italic-- having slightly slanted letters but with a curvy "w" and "y."
This is a "ball and stick" style font.

Q: Swift Dictionaries with enum as Identifier not auto completing in completion block I have a function that returns a completion. The completion has as in parameter a custom class with a dictionary that uses an enum as an identifier.
The problem I am facing is that Xcode does not recognises the type of the variable and does not auto complete when I use it inside of completion block.
My code looks like that
Function
func testFunc (completion:(PrxServiceResponseCallback) ->()){
    let responseCallback = PrxServiceResponseCallback()
    completion(responseCallback)
}

Class
class PrxServiceResponseCallback:NSObject{

    var success = false
    var resultCode:Int32 = 0

    var response:[PrxResponseAttributes:Any] = [PrxResponseAttributes:Any]()

}

enum PrxResponseAttributes{

    case sourceProtocolInfoArray
    case sinkProtocolInfoArray
    case connectionIDsArray
    case connectionInfo

}

Calling the function
testFunc { (testResonse) in
    testResonse.response[.]//Not Auto completing
}

The whole idea of making a dictionary with an enum as identifier was to make easier which attributes the dictionary returns but, If I can't auto complete, the idea is more pointless.
Any ideas?

A: Xcode doesn't give you autocomplete doesn't mean that your code doesn't compile. It just means that Xcode is too stupid to figure things out. I have encountered such situations many times before. It seems to always happen inside closures.
You can just ignore the fact that no autocomplete shows up and type the case name yourself:
testResonse.response[.sourceProtocolInfoArray]

It will compile.
You can also consider creating a struct instead of storing the values in a dictionary. Here's a sample struct (I guessed the types):
struct Response {
    let sourceProtocolInfo: [String]
    let sinkProtocolInfo: [String]
    let connectionIDs: [Int]
    let connectionInfo: String
}

A: If you use   var response:[UIColor:Any] = [UIColor:Any]()
it is still not giving auto complete so it is not your issue and you can not do much on it .
If you need auto complete then use  PrxResponseAttributes with . (dot)
you can do it  like
testResonse.response[PrxResponseAttributes.sourceProtocolInfoArray]

EDIT
Note: It is only happening with implemented closure if you add one property in your  PrxServiceResponseCallback class like
 var anyValue:Any? {
    return response[.connectionInfo] // it is showing completion
}

Severe weather threatens Plains to Midwest over Memorial Day weekend
(NEW YORK) — The storm system that brought the tornado outbreak from the Plains to Mid-Atlantic spawned 104 reported tornadoes across eight states from Texas to Maryland is long gone, but the holiday weekend will not be a quiet one.
A new storm system that began in the Plains on Thursday has brought 24 reported tornadoes in the last 48 hours across eight states: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and North Dakota.
These storms are also bringing very heavy rain to places that are already very saturated. Parts of Kansas received up to 4 inches of rain on Friday.
Flash flood watches are in effect in parts of six states Saturday from Texas to Wisconsin. Flood warnings remain in effect in parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, where they have been dealing with relentless rain.
With the continued threat of heavy rain over the next several days, many rivers are in major flood stage and rising along the Mississippi, Missouri and Arkansas rivers.
A stationary front draped across the central U.S. will continue to bring the threat for severe storms in the Southern and Central Plains, across the Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma and much of Kansas on Saturday.
In the enhanced risk region the biggest threat will be large hail, but isolated tornadoes and damaging winds are expected. Flash flooding also remains a major concern, especially in Oklahoma and Kansas.
A second severe weather concern exists across parts of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes, including Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, New York. The main threat Saturday afternoon will be damaging winds, but hail or a brief tornado can't be ruled out.
The same regions are under a severe threat on Sunday – across the Plains from Texas to South Dakota and a smaller area in the Ohio Valley, from Indianapolis to Columbus, Ohio.
The stalled system will continue to bring rounds of severe storms and heavy rain across the Plains on Sunday, with the enhanced risk region in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, western Kansas and southern Nebraska.
Heat is on in Southeast
In the Southeast, scorching hot temperatures are on the way over the holiday weekend and into next week, with some spots hitting triple digits.
The heat index numbers for Sunday are in the high 90s across much of the region. Record highs are possible in this area over the next several days.

On November 28, 2012, The Boston Higher Education Innovation Council (BHEIC) held an evening forum event, ONLINE LEARNING: WHERE WE ARE. WHERE WE ARE GOING. WHERE WE COULD GO, which brought together Boston-area higher education leaders and practitioners interested in understanding the current direction of the higher education sector and how best to succeed within the changing landscape.
Approximately 30 New England-area university presidents and senior leaders attended the event, which was hosted by the Boston Higher Education Innovation Council and The Parthenon Group, a global strategic advisory firm with a dedicated Education Practice.
The roundtable and moderated discussion were focused on discussing how online learning can:
1. Improve the student experience
2. Expand access
3. Enhance societal impact
4. Drive institutional sustainability
The discussion was moderated to include the vantage points of university leadership, service providers to the higher education sector, and experts in the field.
The meeting culminated in a reception and brief presentation by The Parthenon Group's Chief Economist, Dr. Roger Brinner, who shared his perspective on the Presidential election's likely impact on the economy, education funding, and education policy.
Brinner predicated that weak enrollment will cripple higher education revenue at the same time that government budget crises may slash support, and that online learning strategies offer a critical solution for institutions. You can read the full press release on the presentation from Parthenon. Below are some of the highlights:
"Institutions must respond, therefore, by improving their value propositions to potential students by better outcomes, such as job prospects and training, and reduced costs of attendance. Parthenon research has found that while 55% of potential students 40 and younger believe college education is critical to getting a good job, 70% are hesitant to put themselves into debt to pursue higher education.
Online higher education fills several key roles: it expands student access and course-time flexibility; it reduces system and student costs due to reduced need for infrastructure plus increased institutional capacity; and enhances the student experience by allowing for self-paced learning."
The event was widely covered by numerous higher education publications and The Economist.

February 22, 2013 - Johns Hopkins School of Education Dean, David Andrews, received the Education Industry Association's 2013 Friend of the Education Industry Award. The EIA Friend of the Education Industry Award is the Association's highest and most prestigious honor since its inception in 2005. It is presented annually to an individual who, fosters and demonstrates vision, entrepreneurship, a dedication to quality, and the spirit of public-private partnership in advancing education reform. Previous recipients are profiled here.
January 1, 2013 - Private Ventures for the Public Good: A Campaign to Change Conversation, Opinions and Opportunities
In conjunction with the Education Industry Association's (EIA) Education Industry Foundation (EIF), Michael R. Sandler, Chairman & CEO of the Education Industry Group and President of EIF, is pleased to announce the formation of Private Ventures for the Public Good: A Campaign to Change Conversation, Opinions and Opportunities.
Over the past decade, we have witnessed the growth of high-quality and diverse service providers that partner with our Nation's schools to deliver real value to improved teaching and learning. Many of these organizations are commercial vendors. But despite this record of effectiveness, there are uneven policy/procurement systems across the states and districts that don't incorporate best practices. This can lead to a lack of diversity in the selection of service providers that can partner with public education.
EIA and the EIF are carrying out this long-term comprehensive advocacy, research, professional development and communications campaign that aims to create a fairer and more open market in which the private sector may compete on equal footing with public school districts and non-profit organizations to provide solutions to teaching and learning in PreK-12 education.
If the campaign is successful, no longer will the "for-profit" moniker routinely precede descriptions of education companies, and consumers of publicly funded education will have real options in selecting from among diverse providers of high-quality services and products.
In addition, the campaign will provide the framework for individual education entrepreneurs and corporate executives, together with public school leaders and academics, to work together to promote effective models for transforming teaching and learning.
There are four overarching strategies or "pillars" of the Private Ventures for the Public Good Campaign:
Research & Knowledge – Developing a quantitative and qualitative foundation of information, data and statistics about the PreK-12 education industry.
Communications – Establishing and carrying out a strategy to assertively communicate the facts and positions established via the research outlined above, as well as to spotlight and promote the contributions of select EIA members.
Professional Development – In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University School of Education, we will develop and deliver course content utilizing best practices from traditional education preparation programs combined with entrepreneurial and business strategies from private providers to train/educate future leaders across all sectors of education.
Advocacy – Actively reaching out and communicating the PreK-12 education industry's position and public policy "wish list" to legislative, education and political leaders at the local, state and federal levels.
The Education Industry Foundation (EIF), an independent 501 (c) (3) organization, was established in 2002 to support for the role of private enterprise in PreK-12 education. In doing so, the EIF promotes industry research, knowledge dissemination and professional development/education initiatives. The EIF raises seed capital from individuals and restricted grants and serves as a catalyst for supporting the Education Industry Association's Private Ventures for the Public Good Campaign.

DarkseidAlex After a Christmas Party at Tori's house Robbie decided to use his new camera to take photo of Tori but what happen when things get sexual between them. I don't own this story idea at all. The only things I did was clean it up a bit and change a few words here and there then added a new ending but other then that it is there idea not mine. I just added detail to it.

Home Again: One Step at a Time!
Remember last Monday, I told you I was going to the top?
Some of you might be wondering whether we ever made it?
Friends from Alberta and Ontario joined us for this day.
Eight of us jumped into the old 4x4 farm pickup.
That's what you need to maneuver this terrain for 1 hour.
Some of us were nestled in the back with cushions, foams, bodies and dogs.
steep washouts in the rough gravel road.
You can tell she's done this before.
It was us adults who had anxious moments.
Can you see the top way out in the distance?
I think someone needs some first aid already.
We all know the distance and the destination.
Some are beginners, others are veterans.
I think I'm in my twilight years.
I have travelled this road many times with my family.
But never have I ever seen such beautiful alpine meadows.
We usually trek in late September when the black flies are gone.
but this was far superior than any Alps I've ever seen.
Stopping to take a breath taking view from where we have come.
We know what lies ahead.
"Will we ever get there, Suz?"
It's beginning to look hopeless.
Two university buddies taking their parents on adventures.
"One Step at a Time," I tell myself.
This is a 9km hike, and it's beginning to look rugged and steep.
There are sheer drops near the top.
that illustrate the depth and nature of this hike.
Elevation gain 665 m (2175 ft).
Aha, it's cloudy on top.
But for 30 seconds, the sky breaks and we can spot the top.
Who can race to the top and get their picture taken in the clear sky?
I think there's a bit of blue sky.
Sadly to say, this mountain must of taken one young man's life.
Nature's forces can leave us tragically wounded.
We send out prayers for the family.
We started heading down again and what do we see?
can now be seen in the distance.
You are all Olympic Heroes from Canada.
Oh, I forgot one more Hero!
He is always outstanding in his field!
prepared a feast for all of us!
Great hike...beautiful pic's...wish I was there!
My sister and family hiked Mt. Cheam last weekend as well...also had beautiful wild flower pic's.
I can't even see Mt. Cheam out my window this morning...not a good day for hiking.
FUN and scary all at the same time, you wouldn't catch me on that rock thingy on the side of the mountain you were on...the truth is out, I am a CHICKEN and not too fond of heights.....yikes.
really beautiful pistures though, sounds like a very good thing to do.
looks like the dog beat you to the top.
I must admit, considering the average age group of the trip, our group was the first ones to reach the peak that day. Guess that means Drift gets Gold, I get silver... and Mom gets bronze. not bad for 55!
Fabulous photos! Unbelievable how brave and strong you are to do that --congratulations!
Hip! Hip! Hooray! This just as good as an Olympic gold. We all have our own feats! Congratulations!
I did that hike along time ago and think about the view from the top often as I gaze up at Cheam from our home. Congratulations on making it to the top - the only reason I made it to the top back then was meeting an 85 year old man coming down. I figured if he could do it so could I. I don't think I could do it now though!
By the way - did you see the SNOW!! on Cheam yesterday morning? I'm not ready to see summer leave just yet!!
