Why use Responsive WordPress Themes?
Does your site already run a responsive WordPress theme?
It is no secret that more and more internet users are accessing their favourite websites through mobile devices and this trend is still just at the beginning! The world goes mobile and responsive websites are the future of the internet. But what does responsive mean?
What are the benefits of Responsive Webdesign?
The benefit of a responsive website is, that it automatically adapts its layout to fit almost any screen resolution and looks fantastic on mobile devices, like smartphones or tablet computers. So there is no need anymore to build a separate website for mobile. With responsive webdesign you have only one website with a single domain, which is suitable for almost any device out there. This leads to a massive increase in usability and it is more seach-engine friendly too.

See that picture? I will never have that body. Partly because I hate working out, partly because I have no will power when it comes to chocolate and partly because I have a full time corporate job, plus I have a blog, plus I write for a couple of magazines. That means I don't have a lot of free time and when I do have it, I prefer spending it on the sofa with a good book or one of my favorite TV series. The only sport I've been practicing lately has been the long walks in London and Copenhagen. My favorite kind of sport, if you ask me. So, now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you that when the temperatures are warmer I do panic and I do care about how I'll look with no huge coat to cover everything. Like every other woman on the planet. Do I start working out like crazy? No. Do I quit chocolate? Of course not. I turn to cosmetics and beauty treatments. Obviously, they are not as effective as exercise and a strict diet, but they help a little bit. And that's fine by me.
I've tried different treatments during the last years (clic, clic) but I've finally found something that works. Again, with this I don't pretend to get a #BodybyIza (be careful if you look up that hashtag on Instagram!), but I do achieve a toner, enhanced skin. And that makes showing my legs a little less scary. If you are in your early twenties, don't bother. Your skin is fine and you don't need to tone or redefine. Enjoy your skin as it is, you'll have plenty of time for beauty treatments later.
But back to women in their 30's with sedentary jobs: First I apply the absolutely wonderful Clarins Body Shaping Cream. With its heavenly texture and subtle scent, this cream makes every morning lighter. But the secret is the Self-Massage Body Shaping Method that comes with it. It takes just five minutes but makes a huge difference. This method encourages drainage so you will notice that your legs, waist and arms are smoothed after a week. I swear. Do you know that ugly inner part of the knees? Well, maybe yours is not ugly. Mine is. But no so much lately, thanks to this cream and those massages.
After that, I apply the new Biotherm BB Milk. It smells like lemons, so it feels really Summery. It basically acts like a face BB cream. It magically adapts to your skin and unifies the general tone. If you don't like bronzers, like me, this product is for you. It will make your skin look better: not tanner, not shinier. Just better. I let it dry for a couple of minutes before dressing and I'm done. My skin looks smoother, nicer and smells amazing!
Thank you! Oh living in París sounds fantastic!
Thanks!!! you are so kind! today i buy it! Ciao Ciao e grazie sei molto carina!!

Raven-Symoné Backtracks On Saying She Isn't African-American, Regrets Her Comments On 'The View'
Posted byBy Daryl Nelson	| October 17, 2018 CommentsComments (0)
It's been two years since Raven-Symoné left ABC's "The View," and during her brief time there some might say she became Black Twitter's archenemy.
That's because the actress often played the role of contrarian. Like when she defended a police officer who roughed up a female high school student. Or the time Symoné said she wouldn't hire anybody with a long "Black" name.
And in 2014, the Disney Channel star told Oprah Winfrey that she wasn't African-American, which also raised many an eyebrow. It's something she discussed during a recent interview with Buzzfeed.
"It's funny because people, I don't know if they listened to the interview," said Symoné. "I didn't say I wasn't Black. … My passport says American. I never said I wasn't Black. Oh, trust me, I know I'm Black. There's just a difference. There are many African-Americans, especially in 2018, that come over from Africa and come over here and need the green card — your first-generation African-American. That's how I look at that title."
"There are a lot of Black Americans here who have been here longer than the Americans that are a different color," she added. "Why can't we have just one name?"
The 32-year-old then talked about her time on "The View" and admitted she worded a lot of her opinions the wrong way. Symoné also said facing backlash during that time was very difficult for her.
"I should've worded it differently," she said about her controversial comments. "I learned what I'm good at, and I learned what I'm not good at. And the things I said I'm personally not going to rehash, because I've learned my lesson, I've moved forward. It was a challenging moment in my career, and I've learned a lot."
You can see the interview below.

In a medium bowl, sift and mix together the almond flour, dutch cocoa, baking powder, guar gum, espresso powder and salt. Mix together until a uniform colour.
Melt the butter until hot, chop the chocolate into small chunks, place into a heat proof bowl and pour the melted butter over the top. Leave the mixture for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate, then mix together.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and erythritol, and beat very very well. Slowly add in the almond flour and cocoa mixture until combined. Add in the melted chocolate and butter ganache, and pour into a 5" X 8" slice tin. Place your fresh raspberries on top of the brownie mixture in an even arrangement.
The brownie will still be a little undercooked when you remove from the oven, but this is what creates the fudgy texture once cooled.
If you don't have espresso powder, you can use freeze-dried instant coffee, or a simple shot of espresso.
If you don't have Dutch cocoa powder, you can also use normal cocoa powder, but it won't be as dense.

BioHavens and Boss Bluegill - Floating Island International, Inc.
Fish Fry Lake was made with these guys in mind. What had been a seasonal pond in a long swale became a perennial pond with dam, and I spent two years playing with the bottom and its configuration. Since I knew I didn't know the perfect contours, I went with variety. I incorporated boulders, some massive deadheads…think four foot diameter cottonwood tree trunks…and lots of cobble and gravel. The cobble is sized to provide plenty of natural space for critters like crawfish to use as security cover. Today there are secure 'gill spawning beds spaced intermittently in dozens of locations along the shoreline. And today it's relatively easy to see that the premier spawning sites are those that are claimed by the big guys…these are the sites with minimal disturbance. Full sunlight, minimal shade. Not much slope either, with the big guys fanning their beds over gravel typically in about two feet of water. These settings are where you start if you want to tangle with one and half pounders on size twelve beadheads! There's nothing like slab bluegill on a fly rod!
We applied the same principal to our pheasant hunt on the property…design for optimal pheasant habitat, modify farming methods, and prey on predators. Our results on pheasants are recorded in a short paper, and it's a worthy read if you are considering either wildlife or fishery design opportunities. Contact us for a copy.
Fish Fry has bluegill, green sunfish, redear sunfish, and pumpkinseed. And the reality is that I can no longer be sure just what species, or hybrid, is on the end of my line. But I have noticed a few interesting points…the males of what looks like bluegill are consistently in great condition…almost always with full gut. And when I remove the innards and cut them up into bite size pieces, small bluegill that are always hanging out beside my cleaning station scarf them up. If they miss on their first pass black crappie are right behind! The innards of these fish appear to be the foi gra of cut bait. When these big males aren't defending their nests they mix with other age classes. Maybe every tenth fish now is one of these lunkers.
They are a thick fish, and make a terrific filet. When we keep a dinner's worth we put them through a drum scaler, because crispy, skin on 'gill fillets are my personal favorite eating freshwater dining experience. There's no better way to collect a bucket of these guys then to position yourself on the lip of a BioHaven and work a wetfly along the perimeter of bullrush or northern milfoil. Not fast, just dab a bit of color along the edge, and "bang!" These guys hit with authority!
Today these guys are in the 7 to 10" range. When snorkeling or diving, I frequently see them loafing under BioHavens, sometimes right alongside three pound bass. No sweat….they are well past the time when the maw of a bass was any kind of threat. The 'gill sometimes nip into the periphyton that collects on the bottom of islands and on plant roots. They probably see some kind of invertebrate, maybe a damsel fly nymph, and I'm sure they pick up some greenery in the process. Maybe this explains the green tinge to the gut material? The fish also graze native sponge that grows into BioHavens on Fish Fry. It's a tan color, and only that portion outside of the island matrix is vulnerable to grazing. I can't imagine sponge is particularly nutritious, but it does add to the diversity. Which is always good.
Today was a Sunday in early August, so Anne and I set up with collapsible fiberglass poles, baited with GULP grubs, either white or pink. No weight, no float, just the hook/bait combination. We canoed five minutes from the beach into a narrow channel, out of the wind. Caught four buckets of another version of "keepers", bluegill and sunfish up to four inches long. These are the ones that become cut bait, and are cycled into big crappie and perch. We fished for an hour and I didn't count the fish, but there were many times we were lifting fish into the canoe at the same time. Once a bucket was brimming with they guys we'd canoe parallel to the live well and pour them in, in the meantime taking care to exchange water as needed to avoid oxygen stress. Through the summer months we average processing between twenty and thirty of these small 'gill per day. So it's not very scientific, but I can say that growth on perch and crappie is exceptional.
Every few minutes one of us would tie into a big guy. The line would dart, zig zagging towards the nearest weed bed, and we'd be hard pressed to turn the fish, with the pole bending double. Finally lifting him out of the water, or one of the nearly black females, to be released, as a spawner. Great fun!
The bluegill is an exceptionally productive component of Fish Fry's food web. It's very capable of developing into a stunted population, just big enough to avoid the maw of our northern bass, but not a filletable fish. Unless I'm willing to add northern pike or muskie to the mix, there aren't a ton of great options around how to cycle them and their energy into a classic sport fishery. That's why we do the cut bait thing. So far the results are impressive, in terms of perch and crappie. And the 'gills themselves too. They are bigger in size, as a population, with occasional exceptional fish. This process does not add nutrients into Fish Fry, but it does cycle nutrients up and into higher trophic levels within the lake's food web. It's become a useful component of our stewardship strategy, and I can hardly wait to see how the lake's fishery will unfold over the next several years. Bluegill are the base, and a terrific addition to our fishery.

Many times, Bitcoin's detractors bring out issues with the network's speed and scalability. The limited capacity of the Bitcoin network to process significant volumes of transaction data quickly renders it unfit for widespread adoption, according to the opponents. Bitcoin only processes 4.6 transactions per second, compared to Visa's 1,700 transaction processing rates.
What benefits do Lightning Network-based Bitcoin payment systems offer?
Because of Bitcoin's scalability issue, as the network expands, it becomes increasingly difficult to control. Additionally, the network becomes slower as more users are added, compounding the scalability issue. The Lightning Network, which accelerates Bitcoin transactions, was created to address this issue.
A second-layer system called The Lightning Network was created to make large-scale micropayments possible (and in doing so bring bitcoin back to one of its original intentions as a peer-to-peer payment network.) The network allows the bitcoin protocol to decongest and lower related transaction fees by enabling off-chain bitcoin transactions. Additionally, different parties can communicate with one another without requiring the approval of specific nodes or a centralized body. As a result, transaction costs are greatly decreased, and a network for decentralized interactions is created.
The Lightning Network was quietly gaining popularity last year as increasing Bitcoin prices dominated the news. The quantity of bitcoin that has been locked into the Lightning Network may be used to gauge its effectiveness. By locking bitcoin for the network, a payment channel may be opened by either the product's buyer or seller. The recipient is allowed to submit invoices to the sender after the bitcoin is locked in. Locked bitcoin must be regularly delivered to the network if it is necessary to maintain the channel open.
The Lightning Network grew significantly in the first eight months of 2021, from January to mid-October, from 1,000 to 3,000 BTC locked. DeFi Pulse, a decentralized financial analytics tool, said that as of June 1, 2022, 3,950 BTC were locked in the Lightning Network.
Thanks to the Lightning Network, Bitcoin payments will be more scalable and effective.
As Lightning Network grows
El Salvador legalized Bitcoin last year, and since its residents may now use their chivo wallets to make payments to any business that accepts Bitcoin there, the nation is acting as a testing ground for the Lightning Network. Additionally, since El Salvador became Bitcoin legal money, interest in the Lightning Network in the area has increased, as seen by Strike, the world's top digital wallet built on Bitcoin's Lightning Network, which debuted in Argentina this year. Strike is the world's leading digital wallet.
The advantages of the Lightning Network are especially important in developing nations with economies that heavily rely on remittances and the US currency. According to the World Back, El Salvador's personal remittances reached over $6 billion in 2020, accounting for 24% of its GDP. One of the highest ratios ever recorded. Given the cheap cost and quick asset transfers offered by blockchain technology, the payments sector is poised to be disrupted, despite the fact that traditional money transfer businesses are renowned for charging excessive fees and have dominated the remittance market. El Salvador's decision to accept Bitcoin as legal cash and the introduction of the Lightning Network to its populace show how this may function.
Major businesses like McDonald's and Starbucks are utilizing the technology to make it easier for people to pay with bitcoin for regular transactions like a cup of coffee. The Lightning Network, according to Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, is the finest financial network in human history since it is open and will change the world more quickly than anybody anticipates. Free networks triumph.
One of the first significant cryptocurrency exchanges to include the Lightning Network on its platform was Bitfinex. With 130 BTC inbound and 536 outgoing capacity, the Bitfinex Lightning node is one of the largest and best-connected nodes on the Lightning Network. Users of Bitfinex may now add Bitcoin to their accounts and withdraw it by simply changing their BTC to Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN-BTC).
The Lightning Network's stablecoin is called OmniBOLT.
In order to integrate digital assets and other layer-3 technologies into the Lightning Network, Bitfinex has also invested in initiatives like RGB protocol and OmniBOLT. The first Lightning Network stablecoin standard based on Omni, called OmniBOLT, is created to support various protocols and permissionless blockchains. Building networks that enable the creation, transmission, and reception of digital tokens over the Lightning Network are RGB and OmniBOLT.
The Lightning Network is not the only way that Bitcoin has the potential to upend the established payments sector. With Bitfinex Pay, we have developed a simple and seamless method for online retailers to accept cryptocurrency payments. As more customers get accustomed to paying for products and services with digital tokens, Bitfinex Pay makes it simple for merchants to support crypto payments. Additionally, Bitfinex Pay offers a seamless payment experience that tackles Bitcoin's issues with volatility, scalability, and speed. It can take Tether tokens (USDT) and Lightning Network BTC (LN-BTC). Additionally, a new function called auto convert lets businesses change Bitcoin, Ethereum, Avalanche (AVAX), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Polygon (MATIC), and Solana (SOL) into USDT instantly, eliminating the risk of volatility. For instance, a business that chooses to automatically convert BTC to USDT will immediately convert the funds it receives into the stablecoin through a market order sent to the business' exchange wallet.
We don't yet know how long the present bear market will persist. Bitcoin is now operating as a growing technology stock since it is still a young technology. There may yet be some challenges ahead even as central banks are prepared to increase interest rates and reverse monetary policies that have been so supportive for so-called risk assets. Nevertheless, the fundamental technology of bitcoin and the wider digital token economy continues to advance at a dizzying speed, regardless of the price. This year, it will be interesting to monitor the developments of the Lightning Network and bitcoin payments.


The smart messaging application of Google that has been referred as "Allo" has now been arrived for the users.This application is quite different from other messaging clients and there is proper assistance provided through the technical team for it.That is why it is requested to the users that they should start using "Google Allo" to become more updated.
Users first need to use Allo access from their contacts, phone storage including the ability to send and view SMS messages.
For the situations users wouldn't be satisfy through the solution of the above problem and also wants solution for others that has not been given here,they are required to do the instant connection through the Google Allo support team that is always ready to assist it's users through remarkable solutions so, that the further technical problems could be avoided.
For solving the problem generally the remote access technique applies through which the issues got detected easily and more quickly.It is always good to dial the support number when users thinks of taking support.But for the situations when they are not willing to do that ,they should take help from the text guides and tutorials that are for free.

Q: Capturing keys in Javascript temporarily disables scroll bar on scroll pad I have the following jquery code to capture arrow keys (and the space bar).
$(window).keydown(function(e) {
    if([32, 37, 38, 39, 40].indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});

When I invoke one of the buttons the scroll bar on my trackpad (laptop) is disabled for about 1 second. After one second it starts working again. Other keys (such as page up/page down) still work just fine. Why does the capture of these keys temporarily disable my trackpad's scroll bar? I don't have a mouse to test to see if it also disables the scroll wheel.
I am primarily using Firefox 42 on Ubuntu but confirmed this is also an issue in Windows as well.

A: The keys 38 and 40 are for up and down and when you are pressing them, you are using e.preventDefault(), which will not allow that to happen. So you don't see your page moving up or down.
Maybe, your trackpad's scrollbar fires the same events as up and down, but in a different way. The Page Up and Page Down aren't affected as you are not binding them.

Team members must be registered in grades 9-12 for the current school year.
Teams consist of five members from the same school, home school group, or local organization. No more than two alternates may be substituted at the state contest without pre-approval by Washington State Envirothon (WSE) Committee. Teams with less than five members can participate at state but are not eligible to qualify for the NCF Envirothon. In the event of an emergency that would prevent a registered five member team from competing in the State Envirothon, the WSE may allow a team to compete with fewer than five members. The respective team advisor must certify the legitimacy of the emergency. A review panel will determine if a penalty shall be assessed to a team in the oral presentation for the absence of a complete five member team.
An adult advisor must accompany teams and is responsible for the behavior of team members during meals, free time and other times not related to testing or preparation for competition. The Washington State Envirothon (WSE) Committee, hosting conservation district, and hosting site personnel will not be responsible for improperly chaperoned teams.
Washington State Envirothon shall consist of five resource stations based on soil/land use, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology, and the current environmental issue. Additionally there will be an oral presentation based on the current environmental issue.
Judges' decisions are final on all events.
Transportation will be the responsibility of each participation team. Water will be available on site during the competition. The first day dinner, the second day breakfast and lunch, and overnight accommodations will be provided.
Boys are not allowed on the girls' side of camp, and girls are not allowed on the boys' side of camp at any time. When a team consists of both boys and girls, team members are not allowed to visit each other's rooms. Another location should be selected for team meetings. Twenty points will be deducted from a team's final score if a member breaks this rule. If the infraction occurs a second time, the team will be disqualified.
School medical release forms shall be provided for each team member. The advisor should keep the original with them, and a copy should be provided at registration.
Scores for the five resource stations will be 100 points each and the Oral Presentation will be 200 points. The winning team is the team with the highest cumulative point total from the six test stations. Should there be a tie for the highest cumulative points the winning team will be determined first by their score from the Oral Presentation. If there is still a tie, the scores will be compared next by the Aquatic Ecology test, then the Forestry test, then the Wildlife test, and lastly the Soils/land use test.
During the competition, team members must wear the State Envirothon t-shirt that was issued to them at registration. Team members may not wear or carry any items that would indicate which school or conservation district they are representing.
Rules are subject to change. Any and all relevant changes will be explained to all teams and advisors at an affected Envirothon competition.
No tobacco, intoxicants (other than prescription medications), or weapons are allowed on site. All Washington State laws will be strictly enforced.
No outside study materials or unauthorized electronic devices (such as cell phones, portable music players, etc.) will be allowed during oral prep or the day of competition. If a student uses electronic devices or outside study materials during competition or competition prep, his/her team will be disqualified.
All students must be in their rooms by 11:00 P.M.This curfew will be strictly enforced. Any violation of the rules by a team member or an advisor may result in that team being disqualified from a competition.
Please respect other people and property while visiting.We would like to leave the community with a good impression of the Envirothon and its participants.


ALTHOUGH its French parent company is shedding workers, Groupe Bull's United States circuit-board plant is expanding into a third production shift, so that some of its assembly lines will operate around the clock.Bull HN Information Systems Inc. celebrated the reopening of its Brighton, Mass., factory July 19, following a $17 million retooling and reorganization. The plant makes circuit boards for Bull mainframe computers and minicomputers, and for personal computers made by Zenith Data Systems, which Groupe Bull purchased from Zenith Electronics Corporation last year. The circuit boards, on which memory and microprocessor chips are mounted, are shipped for use in machines assembled in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Bull has one other circuit-board plant in Angers, France. The retooling here represents a consolidation of Bull's circuit-board manufacturing, involving a politically sensitive shift of some work from Bull's home turf in France, as well as from Scotland and Phoenix. Also, the Brighton plant now makes all the circuit boards for the Zenith Data Systems personal computers; an assembly line for the boards was moved from Zenith's computer plant in St. Joseph, Mich. Joel Beck, vice president of US manufacturing for Bull HN, says new machines and work methods have improved productivity at the plant dramatically - from an annual figure of $300,000 per worker to $800,000 per person.


Todd Gustafson on Facebook adds: "Awesome vid Kelli. Headed down there next week. Now I just need a date to take advantage of all your great suggestions. Oh yeah, maybe add the romantic champagne helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon? Just a thought..."

I am happy representing my own culture," Sonakshi Sinha admits.
May 30, Gurgaon: The actress was here to promote her forthcoming film 'Rowdy Rathore' with co-star Akshay Kumar and director Prabhu Deva. It releases Friday. She admits that she is not bold enough to do an item number, but says she won't mind doing one if presented in a right manner.
"I am not waiting to get a role that will change my desi girl image, but still if I get something, which requires me to be more westernised and my character is good I won't mind doing it. Right now I am happy representing my own culture," she said.
Sonakshi, who made her debut with Dabangg (2010), hasn't had a release in a year and eight months. But she insists that professionally, it's been a productive time with five films lined up — Rowdy Rathore, Joker, SOS, Dabangg 2 and Lootera. The first opens this Friday, the next three follow in quick succession, and Lootera releases next March.
The fans across the mall went berserk to catch a glimpse of the actors. The actors were accompanied by Prabhu Deva, considered to be India's Michael Jackson. Akshay Kumar looked 'rowdy' while sporting a moustache while Sonakshi was dressed in traditional suit and salwar.
The Bollywood heartthrob, Akshay Kumar, stated that the film is based on Bihar's mafia rule. He stated that his role is quite different in this movie. When asked about his experience working with Sonakshi, he praised her screen presence and acting skills.
"(Director) Prabhu Deva has his own way of choreographing action sequences. His action sequences have a rhythm. It is a very raw kind of action, which I haven't done since ages," Akshay told reporters Tuesday (May 29, 2012) while promoting his film Rowdy Rathore that is coming out Friday (June 1, 2012).

Presenters: Rev. Hope Johnson, Rev. Barbro Hanson.
Some delegates to the 1993 General Assembly questioned the propriety of the Thomas Jefferson Ball. These delegates, including African Americans and their white allies, read a statement in the first plenary session of the 1993 GA, protesting the event. The ensuing conflict sent ripples throughout Unitarian Universalism, raising awareness that different groups of people could have very different perceptions of the same event.
Rev. Hope Johnson, then a lay leader in the Community Church in New York City, and Rev. Barbro Hansson, then a lay leader in, and president of, the Thomas Jefferson District, were both in the middle of the conflict. In this GA presentation, they shared how they were able to confront their diverse perspectives and reconcile with each other.
Johnson told how she and other members of Community Church in New York City found out about the Thomas Jefferson Ball before General Assembly began. Johnson said her sister asked, "Well, what am I supposed to wear [to the Ball]?" In other words, should African Americans go dressed as slaves, "in rags and chains"? The delegation from Community Church decided to organize a protest of the Ball and began contacting other congregations.
Upon arriving at GA, Johnson said she met with the African American Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministers (AAUUMM) and helped draft a statement to be read at plenary. In the end, she was the one chosen to actually read the statement. She said she rewrote the statement to make it less negative. "I headed for plenary," said Johnson, "and when I delivered the statement, you could have heard a pin drop. And you know that saying, about your legs turning to jelly? I remember experiencing that feeling for the first time in my life."
Meanwhile, Hansson, the District President, was excited by the prospect of having the 1993 GA occur in her home district (although she was not involved in planning for the Ball or other GA programming specifically). When Johnson delivered the statement protesting the Thomas Jefferson Ball, Hansson was taken by surprise.
"When Hope walked to the microphone in front of [then-UUA Moderator] Natalie Gulbrandsen," Hansson said, "Yes, you could hear a pin drop. And as that pin dropped all kinds of things began to churn inside me, because I heard what Hope was saying." As president of the Thomas Jefferson District, Hansson knew she had to respond in her capacity as a lay leader. When she saw Leon Spencer, an African American man who served as UUA Trustee from the Thomas Jefferson District, walk up on stage to meet with Gulbrandsen to help plan a response to the protest, Hansson knew she had to participate as well. She said to herself, "'You are a leader, you are responsible, you can do something.' And as I thought those words, I went up the risers and went up to Leon and placed myself right next to him."
Thirteen people had gathered on the stage around Gulbrandsen, including both Hansson and Johnson. Gulbrandsen asked that group to go and talk the situation over together and return in an hour to report back to the plenary session.
"So, how do you fix something like that in 60 minutes?" said Johnson. "I have to say it was a difficult place to be."
This group of thirteen came to the conclusion that the Thomas Jefferson Ball should be held as planned and that individual delegates should attend or not attend according to their individual consciences. At the end of their 60-minute deadline, they reported this to the plenary session.
"And then we moved on from there," Hansson said. "The drama was finished for the moment." However, she noted that the repercussions continued for a long time thereafter.
Hansson and Johnson shared their own personal story of reconciliation. At the end of the 1993 GA, they wound up talking for three hours together in Hansson's hotel room, getting to know each other as people. "We became friends," Johnson said. "We had so much in common. We each were single parents. We each had a daughter. We each came from someplace else: I am from Jamaica," Johnson said, and Hansson is originally from Sweden.
After GA was over, Hansson sent Johnson a greeting card showing two girls sitting together on a swing; one of the girls on the card was white and one of the girls was black. Johnson said, "And that card I have with me always."
"That GA, in addition to paving the way for Hope and me to become friends, or actually sisters, also was the time when I felt called to ministry," Hansson said. "I suspected some day that Hope would do the same." Indeed, Johnson also became a Unitarian Universalist minister.
"So that is our story of how our paths intersected at a critical time," said Hansson, "a time of conflict and chaos. We found that we are very much alike."
Johnson said that their friendship continues to this day. "And so it [their friendship] continues and it is our joy to be here," said Johnson. "As sisters."

Litigation | Georgia
Wesberry v. Sanders (1964)
Under Georgia's 1931 apportionment law creating the state's congressional districts, Georgia's 5th congressional district had a population that was two to three times higher than the state's other districts. In 1962, several registered voters residing in Georgia's 5th district filed a federal lawsuit against Georgia's Governor and Secretary of State, alleging that the 1931 apportionment law diminished the value of their votes in violation of the Art. I, Sec. 2 mandate that representatives be "apportioned among the several states . . . according to their respective numbers." Before being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, a three-judge panel in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia had dismissed the plaintiffs suit, citing the Court's precedent that challenges to congressional apportionment raised non-justiciable political questions.
In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that the district court's dismissal on political question grounds was improper in light of the Court's ruling in Baker v. Carr, which found that constitutional challenges to legislative apportionment laws were not political questions and therefore were justiciable. The Court then proceeded to rule that the state's apportionment law violated Art. I, Sec. 2 of the U.S. Constitution because, when viewed in its historical context, that provision mandates that "as nearly as is practicable, one man's vote in a congressional election is to be worth as much as another's."
Significance: (1) Federal courts do have jurisdiction to hear and resolve equal protection challenges to State congressional apportionment plans; (2) Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution requires that State congressional districts be drawn to have strictly equal populations "as nearly as is practicable."

How Joe Biden's Top Four Priorities Could Impact Texans
By Jill Ament & Shelly Brisbin • Nov 9, 2020
The Biden and Harris families celebrate their election victory on Nov. 7.

Originally published on November 9, 2020 10:34 am
From Texas Standard:
President-elect Joe Biden has begun rolling out his transition plan, including a website listing four priorities for the start of his administration: COVID-19, economic recovery, racial equity and climate change.
When Biden takes office in January, his presidency is likely to change things for Texans, says Carlos Huerta, a political science professor at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. Huerta tells Texas Standard that when it comes to COVID-19, which is spreading again in Texas, he expects Biden will lean heavily on medical experts for a strategy.
"I think we're gonna see the Centers for Disease Control get a more high-profile role," he said.
States could also receive more resources and benefit from more coordination with the federal government.
Huerta expects the Biden administration to seek more economic stimulus funding, too. For that, he'll need the cooperation of Congress, with the possibility that one chamber – the Senate – will remain controlled by Republicans.
"If we don't see any kind of legislative action taken, I would expect to see a Biden administration use executive action in as many places as it can to provide relief," Huerta said.
To address racial inequity in policing, Huerta expects the Justice Department to return to the Obama-era practice of using consent decrees to deal with police departments that have had a history of excessive use of force against Black Americans.
The Trump administration placed severe limits on immigration, from attempts to eliminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, to keeping would-be immigrants out of the country. Huerta expects the Biden administration to roll back Trump's immigration-related executive orders.
"Many members of Congress – Republican and Democrat – have talked about trying to pass a bipartisan immigration bill," Huerta said. "Well, here's an opportunity."
And when it comes to climate change, Biden will likely encourage energy companies to ramp up their production of renewables, Huerta said – including those companies based in Texas.

Whistleblowers Say Texas AG's Office Retaliated Against Them After They Reported Ken Paxton
By Emma Platoff | Texas Tribune • Nov 6, 2020
At a senior staff meeting one Thursday morning in May, with much of the Texas attorney general's office working from home and morale seeming low, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton arrived at the Price Daniel Sr. State Office Building in downtown Austin with a surprise honor for a top deputy: a copy of "Scalia Speaks," the late conservative U.S. Supreme Court justice's book.
Paxton had inscribed it with a congratulatory note for Blake Brickman, and presented it personally at the meeting of about 20 people.

Former Westfield Group stapled security holders can use The Westfield Group - 2018 calculator to work out their tax outcomes from the takeover by Unibail-Rodamco SE on 7 June 2018. The instructions below will help you use the calculator.
new cost bases and acquisition dates for their Unibail-Rodamco CDIs.
The calculator also assists former Westfield Group stapled security holders, who sold their stapled securities between 11 August 2017 and 7 June 2018, by calculating the relevant cost base.
you held your stapled securities as an investment asset.
You will need to open the excel file using a compatible version of Microsoft Excel (2007 or later) and permit access for files downloaded from the internet. The Westfield Group - 2018 calculator does not contain any macros or scripts.
The calculator works out your capital gain or loss as a result of the takeover, using the CGT cost base of your Westfield Group stapled securities just before that takeover.
you were a Westfield investor prior to 16 July 2004 so long as you know what your cost base was on 16 July 2004 (this is what the Manual Input sheet in the calculator is for). See Other resources to determine your cost base.
cost base adjustments for all relevant tax deferred distributions between 16 July 2004 and 7 June 2018.
whether you elect CGT roll-over for your WCL shares.
The calculator allows you to enter up to 10 parcels.
the cost base on 7 June 2018 of the OneMarket shares you received (rows 28 to 32 of the Summary Sheet).
You should retain a copy of your inputs used in the calculator and new cost bases for your OneMarket shares and Unibail-Rodamco CDIs for future records.
Unibail-Rodamco CDIs are allocated at the investor level. If you had Westfield Group stapled securities under a different name or account, you will need to fill in a separate spreadsheet for each account.
Liz acquired 7,000 Westfield Stapled Securities on 10 March 2010 for $85,511.71 plus brokerage of $20.
Liz does not know her purchase price per unit. Liz inputs the acquisition date as 10/03/2010, the number of securities as 7,000 and the purchase price per unit of $12.218816 ($85,531.71 / 7,000).
Liz ensures that her information is correct by checking the total purchase price in row 6 is equal to $85,531.71.
CGT roll-over can only be chosen in respect of the WCL shares that form part of your Westfield Group stapled securities if you make a CGT gain on the WCL shares when they are exchanged for Unibail-Rodamco SE shares. It can't be applied if you made a CGT Loss on your WCL shares.
First – enter your acquisition date and number of Westfield Group stapled securities for each parcel in the sheet labelled Summary Sheet.
Second – input your cost base of each unit or share for each of your parcels in the sheet titled Manual Input.
This will then calculate your cost base just before the takeover, taking into account adjustments required as a result of restructures and other capital returns –it will override the cost base provided on the Summary Sheet for that parcel.
The word 'MANUAL' will be displayed for any parcels where you have elected to manually input cost base information.
The Manual Input sheet does not have the same degree of automatic error checking as the Summary Sheet as it is anticipated some investors who acquired shares prior to 2004 will have a wide range of cost bases. Please ensure you double check your entered information is correct.
You should retain a copy of your inputs used in the calculator and new cost bases for your Unibail-Rodamco CDIs for future records.
If you wish to go back to automatic calculation of the cost base of your Westfield Group stapled securities, either clear all cells on the Manual Input sheet or open a new copy of the calculator.
then go to the tab labelled Manual Input and manually enter the cost base per unit for WCL, WAT and WFDT, at lines 26 to 28. The values in these cells will override the automatic cost base the calculator would have determined on 30 June 2014.
The calculator will then apply all necessary adjustments from 30 June 2014 to 7 June 2018.
If you sold your Westfield Group stapled securities before the 7 June 2018 restructure event, our calculator can help you calculate your capital gains and losses.
The calculator can help you work out the cost base for your Westfield Group stapled securities as at any day on 11 August 2017 to 7 June 2018. This is displayed on rows 17 and 18 of the Summary Sheet.
If you sold your Westfield Group stapled securities during that period – work out your capital gain or loss by subtracting the proceeds you received from your cost base as at the date of the sale.
If you have a nil cost base for any of your WFDT or WAT units just before the restructure, the calculator will tell you at row 19 of the Summary Sheet. This is not expected for most Westfield Group investors, however, if you do have a nil cost base just before restructure on 7 June 2018, you may have capital gains in respect of tax deferred distributions in the 2018 income tax year, which you will have to report separately.
Note: This assumes nothing else happened to affect your cost base other than distributions you received from Westfield.
If you received Westfield Group stapled securities as part of a dividend reinvestment plan, the calculator does not automatically assist you in respect of your stapled securities.
If you have your cost-base information for these stapled securities just after the 2010 restructure, you can use the Manual Input sheet to enter the cost base in respect of these Westfield securities just after the 2010 restructure. You may also wish to seek additional tax advice.
Westfield Group has advised that if you had 108 or less Westfield Group Stapled Securities at the time of the 2018 Westfield Restructure, you are a Minimum Holder and would have received cash instead of Unibail-Rodamco CDIs.
Your capital gain or loss will be worked out comparing the cost base of your Westfield Group Stapled Securities to the amount of cash you received.
All outcomes provided by this calculator are based on the information you provide at the time of calculation. You should use the outcomes for guidance purposes only.
We make every effort to ensure that our advice and information is correct. If you rely on the advice given from this calculator and it turns out to be incorrect, or it is misleading and you make a mistake as a result, we must still apply the law correctly. If that means you owe us money, we must ask you to pay it. If you make an honest mistake when you try to follow our advice and you owe us money as a result, we will ask you to pay the money.
If you acted reasonably and in good faith or made an honest mistake when you try to follow our advice, we will not charge you a penalty, but may charge you interest.
There may be a slight difference with the outcomes provided by this calculator and manual calculations, due to rounding, fractional entitlements and the application of rollover to different parcels. If you discover any substantial differences, send a short email, including your name and contact details with the word 'Westfield', to TaxAdvice@ato.gov.au.

        $arrToObservers = array('cid'=>'123');
        Mage::dispatchEvent('my_custom_event',$arrToObservers);
        ////Now dispatching event(Sending off the event)
        echo "after dispatch";
    }
}

And output I am getting (Without magento executing my observer echo statement)
In index controller --after dispatch
But it was supposed to print Hi i am inside event text too written in observer.

A: Couple of problems:
1) Change your initialization xml file structure to First Letter CAPS.
# File: app/etc/modules/MyCompanyName_HelloWorld.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <MyCompanyName_HelloWorld>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </MyCompanyName_HelloWorld>
    </modules>
</config>

2) You're referencing helloworld/observer as the model to call on your custom event, but haven't defined the helloworld model namespace. Add this to your config.xml in the <global> block:
# File: app/code/local/MyCompanyName/HelloWorld/etc/config.xml:
<global>
    ........Your code ...............
    <models>
        <helloworld>
            <class>MyCompanyName_HelloWorld_Model</class>
        </helloworld>
    </models>
    ........Your code ...............
</global>

Doing that it now runs as expected (Recoverable Error: Object of class Varien_Event could not be converted to string  in /path/to/mage/app/code/local/MyCompanyName/HelloWorld/Model/Observer.php on line 11). If you change the observer method to just output Hello World, it works fine. For example:
# File: app/code/local/MyCompanyName/HelloWorld/Model/Observer.php:
<?php
class MyCompanyName_HelloWorld_Model_Observer
{
    public function my_custom_method($observer)
    {
        var_dump('Hello World');
        exit;
    }
}

Output: In index controllerstring(11) "Hello World"


NONGSTOIN/SHILLONG: Riding a massive wave of public sympathy, HSPDP nominee Diosstarness Jyndiang has retained Nongstoin Assembly seat, result of which was declared on Tuesday.
Jyndiang defeated his nearest rival Gabriel Wahlang of Congress by 2,764 votes.
Jyndiang, a former aide of Hoping Stone Lyngdoh and the youngest candidate amongst the four contenders, secured 11,189 votes while Wahlang, a former deputy chairman of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council, garnered 8,425 votes.
Two other candidates in the by-poll – Mosklandar Marngar of the UDP and lone woman independent candidate Fenela Lyngdoh Nonglait polled 1,257 and 3,131 votes respectively.
Of the 24191votes polled, 189 voters opted for the None of the Above (NOTA) category in the by-election.
Both Marngar and Nonglait lost their security deposit.
Chief Electoral officer P Naik said that the candidates should secure more than one sixth of the total votes polled (24191) to escape from the loss of security deposit.
The by-poll, recorded an 81.96 percent turnout.
The by-election was necessitated following the death of HSPDP legislator Hoping Stone Lyngdoh.
With this victory, the HSPDP now has four MLAs in the 60-member Assembly.
An elated Jyndiang later told newsmen that border issue would top his priority list.
In his reaction, the party supremo Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit said "HSPDP retaining Nongstoin assembly seat in the by-election shows that people of Meghalaya have lost faith in the Congress party".
CM's reaction: Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, meanwhile, has said Congress lost the election due to inherent challenges within the party.
Sangma, however, expressed happiness over Congress candidate securing more than 8000 votes.
"Some people have left the party because of their personal interest," Sangma said while congratulating the people of Nongstoin for coming out in large number to exercise their franchise.
