Operation Ceasefire is:
There are a number of versions of violence-prevention programs which have been called "Ceasefire." Perhaps the best-known follows the pattern described in David Kennedy's book Don't Shoot.
The fundamental principle of Ceasefire programs is quite straightforward: changing the behavior of violent social groups and individuals using first, positive reinforcement and second, the threat of certain punishment through prosecution and the likelihood of a prison sentence. Violent groups and individuals are identified and adequate evidence gathered of criminal acts sufficient to support prosecution. A network of support groups and individuals is organized and coordinated. The support can come from governmental and nongovernmental sources. A "call-in" session is organized in which the violence-prone meet with police and others who offer support. What is offered is an opportunity to change behavior, with government and community help or the threat of prosecution and a certain jail sentence.
Ceasefire programs require a lot of resources and careful management and coordination of diverse activities. Where there is not adequate management and coordination, as has invariably been the case in Oakland, Ceasefire will fail, according to David Kennedy who has visited here in recent years. Oakland's ongoing problems with implementing Ceasefire are in accord with a general level of incompetence in government regarding leadership, planning and management of complex projects. For example an absolutely necessary full-time professional Ceasefire program coordinator position was funded by the City Council in 2011. As of the Fall of 2013 the City Administrator has failed to fill this position.
Question: Has this position been filled?
Ceasefire was implemented in Oakland the first time, unsuccessfully in 2004.
Ceasefire was again implemented in 2010 and failed, according to OPD Captain Ersie Joyner, because the positive support promised to the violent offenders was not delivered.
Ceasefire was implemented in Oakland again in 2013:

The following letter was delivered to all warrant locations on March 8th, 2013 by the Oakland Police Department along with local, state, and federal partners (see letter to see which):
This letter is to inform individuals who are at risk of being involved in gun violence about the enforcement priorities of the Oakland Police Department (OPD) and our local, state, and federal partners. This letter has been distributed today at locations associated with street groups whose members are suspected in a large number of shootings and homicides in Oakland.
All who reside in Oakland deserve to live in peace and safety. For far too long, too many in this city have been shot or killed. Along with our community partners, we view these victims as members of our community who we want to see alive and free. All of us who value the City of Oakland believe that stopping gun violence must be the top priority of law enforcement.
OPD's central strategy to reduce gun violence is Operation Ceasefire. Under Ceasefire, partners use data and intelligence to identify those at highest risk for violence. We then use a multi-pronged strategy to engage those at highest risk and help them make different choices about violence. For those who reject the offer to help, the strategy reserves special enforcement attention from OPD, the Alameda County District Attorney, the Unites States Attorney, Alameda County Probation, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the California Highway Patrol, Alameda County Sheriff's Office, FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshalls Service, Homeland Security, IRS, Secret Service, and other partners. We are all focused on individuals and groups who shoot and kill in the streets of Oakland; this is how we will be working from now on.
You may have friends, associates, and family members who need to know that engaging in gun violence will bring this kind of special attention. If you care about them, you will share this message.

Oakland's version of Boston's Ceasefire is a sad replica and doesn't follow any of the activities Boston activated to stop the juvenile homicide rate for two and half years. Where are the youth workers, not those old people wearing white coats with cameras following them around? Where are the summer jobs for the youth? Why aren't there youth workers in the middle schools and high schools? Where are the sports leagues for the rival gangs? Where are the collaborations with clergy, city hall, youth centers and CBO's? Where does $20,000,000 dollars go a year? Did you know that Boston didn't even have a budget for Ceasefire! Why does the number of homicides continue to climb? What happened to the $300,000 for Bratton? Was that cost just for 3 months of work? Oakland's version of Ceasefire is a joke! Sorry Oakland residents, you need to get your money back or scrap Oakland's version of Ceasefire, it clearly doesn't work!
Boston Police never sent out letters to people about Ceasefire. We set up meetings through the Probation Department, who ever was on Probation for guns, gang activity were mandated to show up to a meeting. If Oakland knew anything about Boston's Ceasefire, then they would [k]now that!

Besides syrup, lime filtrate which had sour taste had become admixture in food or other drink, like jamu (tonic made of medicinal herbs). In fact, lime not only become fresh drink but also had benefits in health. Lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) is a clump plant with many branches. This plant often plant in the yard and garden.
The height can reach until six meters. The leaf is egg round shaped. The flower shape is like star with white color. The stem is hard wooden, and usually bear fruit after 2.5 years. The fruit is round shape with smooth and glossy surface, thin peeled, and had yellowish green color if it's mature. This plat was presumable from north India.
The fruit contents lot of water and high in vitamin C. Leaf, fruit, and the flower contain essential oil. Usually, lime growth well in low land which expose to sunlight. Lime contains citric acid, amino acid (triptophan, licyne), essential oil (citral, limonen, felandren, lemon camphor, cadinen, gerani-lasetat, linali-lasetat, actylaldehide, nnildehide) resin, Glycoside, citronella acid, fat, calcium, phosphor, iron, sulfur, vitamin B1 and vitamin C.
The sour taste of lime can help you to clean nicotine which sticks on teeth and smoker. The essential oils inside the lime used to treat dysentery, constipation, hemorrhoids, disordered menstruation, diphtheria, acne, headache or vertigo, throatiness, cough, body odour, appetizer, prevent hair loss, dandruff, flu, fever, obesity, tonsil, nosebleed, and nose inflammation.
From recent study showed, lime also had benefits to prevent calculus, especially calcium idiopathy calculus. From the study also known that lime contains high citrate, while many calculus sufferer had low citrate level. They said the citrate level in local lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) had 10 times higher than tangerine, and six times higher than sweet orange. The citrate content can reach until 55.6 gram per kg.
Generally, citrate acid level in urine of calculus disorder had the lowest content in the night and early day. So, better consume lime soon after dinner. Lime filtrate consumed after dinner reported doesn't make plaint flank. Filtrate from two limes is diluted in two glass of water.
Drink this lime mixture can reduce and prevent calcium calculus. But, preventation and treatment of this disorder only can be done by restrict salt consumption or salty food, had enough calcium intake, and consume low phosphate protein.


TRB's Rail Safety Innovations Deserving Exporatory Analysis (IDEA) program has released Safety Report 32: Railroad Bridge Inspections for Maintenance and Replacement Prioritization Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Laser Scanning Capabilities. Measuring bridge movement under trains in the field is difficult and expensive because a fixed reference point is not normally available, thus creating the need to erect independent scaffolding to create good reference points near the bridge from where to measure. This study explores a concept test for integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and laser technologies to assess the structural condition of simply supported spans of conforming steel railroad bridges, which can help prioritize more detailed inspections.


And she's about to find out what happens to bad girls tonight.
This Christmas Eve, we want her nice and naughty.
They call us ruthless, and cruel. Filthy rich beyond belief, dominant beyond compare, and we run our company with iron fists.
It's the night before Christmas, but all is not calm. And all sure as hell ain't right or bright. See, someone's been skimming from the company piggy-bank, and selling secrets to our rivals.
Not just anyone though. Her.
Noelle Healy. The new hire. The innocently tempting, forbidden little tease who's been driving us insane in our need to have her.
…and we will have her.
Dark hair, wild, fierce eyes, and just enough sass in those pouty lips and curvy hips to drive a man wild. Or two of them.
But someone's been a bad, bad girl this year, and she's about to find her stocking stuffed with two somethings much harder than coal. We've got some heavy bells for her to jingle, and enough mistletoe to last all night.
Christmas might come but once a year, but the two of us are far more frequent than that. And Noelle's about to unwrap a bah-humbugging she'll never forget.

"I'm a writer living in the Perth Hills with my relentlessly fun seeking children.
This film didn't immediately ring bells that it would be a huge hit with my kids. A two hour movie about a 10 year old chess genius, growing up in the slums of Uganda. It sounded more like a trial by fire than a family feel good experience. However, I am happy to report that 'The Queen of Katwe' was everything I thought it wouldn't be. It is a triumph of a movie with an uplifting story guaranteed to leave you heartened by the human spirit.
This is a Disney movie packed with feel good fuzzies without the sickly sweet after taste. This time they have ditched the princess in favour of a quiet and curious pawn Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) who rises up from the gutter to become queen of her game and her life. The true story of her rise to Ugandan chess champion is often raw, sometimes tear jerking, but always inspirational.
Director Mina Nair paints a full and vivid picture of Phiona and her struggling family, trying to survive against all odds. David Oyelowo is perfectly cast as the determined coach, who never falters in his belief in her ability to rise above her situation. Whilst the movie makes no attempts to gloss over the squalor of living on the poverty line, it also resonates with rich characters, laughter and vibrant music, which goes some way to capture the spirit of Africa.
This is a movie I would recommend for the over 10's. There are some subtle sexual references and a suggestion of prostitution, but it is not too overt. The language is mild and much of it flies straight over the kids' heads, but there are some harrowing scenes. There's one where a child is swept away by a flood, later to be recovered and another where a boy receives stitches after a motorbike accident. It might make you wince a little, but these scenes only serve to bring home the reality of the hardship of living in a third world country. 'The Queen of Katwe' is a wonderful family movie that engages its audience throughout, with its beautiful message to play the game of life with your whole heart, against all the odds.
The story of the real Queen of Katwe and the Som Chess Academy can be found here.


Job promotion signifies career growth and development. "How to get promoted?" is something that every employee should ask. Perform well in any given role that you have and get promoted. You can increase your candidacy by getting additional qualifications. Promotion at the workplace can result in more status and authority. This article will teach you how to move up in a company and how to get a promotion.
You could be the top performer in your department but your character can prevent you from getting the promotion you desire. Do not bring solid work ethics only, you need to bring the full package. A noble character is admired by employers. It shows that you are trustworthy and you can take on prestigious roles.
You impress your employers when you take the initiative to do other tasks. It shows that you are prepared for something outside of your role. You exceed expectations and get noticed by your boss. If they need somebody to take on a new role they will remember how proactive and willing you are.
Do not go to work and collect your paycheck. Get involve in other activities that are related to work. If your manager asks you to participate in an event do not decline. Do your best to attend. It shows that you are passionate about your job. Many people miss promotion by declining these invitations. If your boss wants to promote you they will believe you will not take on the role confidently. Attend social invent and socialize with supervisors and co-workers. Allow everyone to know more about you and your interests. It is a part of networking. Do not stop networking if you want to take your career to the next level.
Being a good team player show how well you work with others. If you are given a promotion this is a skill that you will need to succeed. Are you always providing solutions to problems that arise? Do you pull your weight and encourage other to do the same? Put your leadership skills in action as a team player.
You have to prove that you can manage your new role. If you perform poorly in your current position do you think you deserve a promotion? Step up your game if you have been slacking off. Know your roles and duties and do them to the best of your ability. This will never go unnoticed. You will stand out among other employees if your performance is superb. Once you get noticed you are on your way to get a promotion.
Sometimes employees want to promote a hard-working individual but the person is not qualified. Lack of qualification may be holding you back. You do not have to have an MBA in business but you can do courses and get a diploma. You can work your way up until you meet the organization's requirements. Sharpen your skills and knowledge.
If you meet all the criteria's for a position then apply. Most organization will only hire outside candidate if they cannot find employees within their organization. Do not allow these opportunities slip but take the initiative and apply for an internal posting.
Schedule a meeting with your boss and express your desire to grow professionally. If you have been a great employee they are less like to deny you. They want to see their employees succeed. Present idea that you will implement to make the company greater. You have nothing to lose if you try. Sometimes you cannot wait for opportunities to come to you. You have to go get them.
There are steps you have to take if you want to advance your career. With hard work and the right attitude, you can get the promotion you deserve. Make it happen and move up the corporate ladder.

The Tragic Death of Macbeth
Macbeth in Shakespeare's play is a tragic hero and his tragic life and death are determined by the initial path he chose for himself. Being a noble and honorable man he turned into a murderer caring only for his ambitions.
It seems that death is a natural outcome for the deeds Macbeth did during his life. He approaches to his tragic death led by his thirst for power, his ambitions and hubris. Some may claim that it's his wife Lady Macbeth who pushed him on the 'bloody' path of murders. However we cannot agree in this vision of Macbeth.
Through the flaw of events Macbeth regresses from decent and moral man to an indifferent and self-focused killer. His fate is predisposed from the time of the first murder of the King of Scotland. Assassinating King Duncan Macbeth feels remorse showing that he is not just a cold-blooded killer but a person suffered from self-delusion. Though the next murders were easier and easier for him.
Killing Banquo out of the fear of being revealed – "our fears in Banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared. 'Tis he much dares…" (III, 1, 85) and of fear that Banquos children can become kings –"to make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings! (III, 1, p.85)- Macbeth gets more confident that he is a winner and no one can hamper him.
The witches' prophecies and his wife's impact only heat up inherent in him self-killing ambish and hubris. Both the influence of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth's arrogance make him to commit crimes which eventually lead him to death.
During Macbeth life he develops greed and violence. He got used to power and cannot refuse from it. In the last act of the play he says "that keep the word of promise to our ear, and break it to our hope. I'll not fight with thee" ( V, 8, p. 187) which shows that he is not ready to accept the rule of Malcolm.
The role of the witches is also important in the Macbeth's life and his further moral and physical destruction. Having whispered into his ear the words of power, he started to nurture hopes of being a King.
So we see that Macbeth's fate is predisposed when he steps over a slippery road of crimes which brought him to death at the end. What served as the impetus for him to choose this way? Prophecies? His wife? His ambitions? Macbeth is a human who is a sum of inherited potentialities and environment. In his case this sum turned out to be disastrous for him.
However, it was his deliberate choice. And we can see it from the fact that Macbeth is aware of morality, he feels the qualms of consciousness and is aware of evil which is despised by society. Macbeth realizes that it is his "vaulting ambition" which make him indifferent to social and moral constraints, not afraid of society or god.
However, the hunger for power is stronger than moral basis of Macbeth. Breaking moral rules to achieve desired power Macbeth goes to his death. The tragic of Macbeth is in the fact that evil powers overtake him and he cannot realize the virtues which are naturally inherent in him. The death of Macbeth is tragic because he would be alive if it were not the devils which took the rule over him.
Macbeth refers to the classic literature which I prefer to read. The beauty of classic literature is in its ability to bring to the reader the truths of the life. Through classic literature we can learn what is right and what is wrong. We learn to be courageous, virtuous and gracious. Classics vividly illustrate moral and ethical grounds of human society. It punishes the guilty and rewards the virtuous. From classics we learn fairness and justice.

Deputy Speaker and Antique Congresswoman Loren Legarda today urged the Philippine government through the Department of Foreign Affairs to further strengthen its cultural diplomacy program through more partnerships with leading academic institutions.
The former Senator expressed hope that the government will take advantage of such opportunities to enrich our own culture after the signing of an agreement between the Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt and the Ruhr University Bochum, creating a Philippine studies program, which was held on 15 October 2019 in Bochum, Germany. The signing ceremony was attended by Consul General Evelyn D. Austria-Garia, Rector Professor Axel Schlömerich, Vice Rector Professor Dr. Komelia Freitag, Director for International Affairs Monika Sprung, Professor Roger Friedlein, and Vice Consul Mejilla Meuller.
The signing of the agreement will pave the way for students and teachers exchange, exchange of expertise and technical knowhow in biodiversity, conservation, climate change and philology among other areas of interest. The program was made possible by Deputy Speaker Legarda, through an initial funding of P5 million under the 2019 DFA budget to support such academic and research activities.
"This is the third academic agreement cooperation that I have worked on knowing that cultural diplomacy is one of the pillars of Philippine foreign policy, and academic cooperation is a means to promote cultural diplomacy. Through such agreements, the international community will not only know about our history as a nation but also appreciate who we are as a people. It will also allow us to show our counterparts our accomplishments in the different disciplines of the academe," Legarda said.
In 2017, an agreement between the Philippine Embassy in London and the School of African and Oriental Studies in the University of London was forged for the development of a Philippine Studies Program. This was the first academic cooperation agreement that Legarda, then chair of the Senate Committees on Finance and Foreign Relations, sponsored by way of allocating funds under the agency budget.
The PH-SOAS agreement, signed Philippine Ambassador Antonio Lagdameo and SOAS Director Baroness Valerie Amos, was intended to cover Philippine-related lectures, workshops, exhibitions, conferences and travel grants for students and academics doing research in the region and for Philippine students and staff studying at SOAS. This will also include an Annual Philippine Studies Workshop and publication; an Annual Postgraduate Conference on Southeast Asian Studies; Philippine film screenings and digitization of SOAS Philippine materials.
A similar program is also being implemented currently in Humboldt University in Berlin, which was launched in July this year.
Legarda also gladly announced that "in coordination with our foreign posts, we are partnering with other universities for the development of similar programs: Humboldt University of Berlin, the Universidad de Complutense de Madrid, and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies – Yusof Ishak Institute which all be launched this year. Each program will be customized to serve as a tool to further enhance the diplomatic ties we have with the countries where these academic institutions are located."
"Our own academic community will likewise greatly benefit from these exchanges. Nowadays, information and knowledge exchange is crucial in strengthening the ties between and among nations. We must therefore create more learning opportunities for our own people to make them even more skilled, knowledgeable and competitive," Legarda concluded.***


It's been five long years since Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh first started together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. Ever since then we have all witnessed their off-screen chemistry and it's truly the stuff dreams are made of. With them always setting the screen on fire each time they work together, it's their adorable real-life moments which have fans and almost everyone rooting for them. Now that the celebrity pair is all set to tie the knot real soon, we have an important update for you to know.
While #DeepVeer rumour mills haven't stopped dissecting, the latest we hear from a source close to the couple that the couple have four grand functions at Lake Como, Italy. Even though they would still keep it an intimate and private affair with limited guests (mainly close friends and families) and no cell phones allowed at the wedding venue, Deepika and Singh plan to have four special functions at their wedding.
With Italy being one of the most scenic regions, Lake Como is the perfect spot for Ranveer and Deepika to tie the knot on November 10. As the preparations are in full swing from both the sides, we hear Deepika will wear Sabyasachi on her big day, given that she's a loyalist.
Stay tuned to this space for all the updates on this dreamy wedding.

Q: Django issues creating a custom user model I trying to switch to a custom User Authentication so I can make changes more easily to the user model when needed.

The error I get happens when I try and run migrations is
django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unknown field(s) (first_name, last_name, username) specified for DefaultUser Which seems to be caused by the class Meta in my form because if I take away a field the error changes. Though when the Meta was pointing to model = User everything was working fine.
Also, I did add this to my setting page
AUTH_USER_MODEL = "accounts.DefaultUser"

And admin.py has
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import DefaultUser

admin.site.register(DefaultUser)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A: AbstractBaseUser class does not contain any model fields ( except password and last login fields) so this cannot function even in theory. You should define model fields in your DefaultUser model class for it to use, check example.
Also admin part wont function as you haven't registered it's Admin class.
If you read this documentation a bit more carefully you should get it eventually.
AbstractBaseUser class you can check in source also BaseUser for some hints

Lahore first published in 1993 is Pran Nevile's tribute to the land of his birth. Grounded in memory and redolent with nostalgia Nevile's reminiscences transport the reader into the heart of Lahore as it was in the 1930s and 40s-a city bustling with activity where people coexisted harmoniously unfettered by considerations of religion region or caste. From the riotous seasonal festivities of kite-flying to clandestine love-affairs upon rooftops from matinee shows at the cinema to twilight hours spent amongst the bejewelled dancing girls of Hira Mandi Lahore emerges as a city of mesmerizing contradictions and chaotic splendour.The author underscores the contrast between pre- and post-Partition Lahore and the sense of pain loss and longing for one's homeland experienced by the displaced millions in India and Pakistan is palpable. Evocative and informative Lahore is at once social commentary historical documentation and memoir. Author: Pran Nevile is a former diplomat and UN Adviser. He was born and educated in Lahore taking his Masters in Economics from Government College there and the city was the subject of his first book Lahore: A Sentimental Journey. He writes frequently on subjects relating to the British Raj and this period forms the focus of his next book as well. He lives in New Delhi.

How do we express three less than a number
A variable (such as x) - 3
answer from Gababon
there are lots of ways. pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is
a = b/2 + i - 1
where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.
in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so
a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57
let's try the shoelace formula. the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.
a(-2,6) -2(2)-6(-5) = 26
b(-5,2) -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19
c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18
d(4,-3) 4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27
e(5,3) 5(3) - 3(1) = 12
f(1,3) 1(6) - 3(-2) = 12
a(-2,6)
each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.
area = (1/2) (26 + 19 + 18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57
that checks!

a. turk and mcalister
b. howard, mission, and market
c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th
parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.
intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.
skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.

Q: Why do custom Application Pages produce exceptions after installing June 2011 CU? We recently applied the June 2011 Cumulative Update on our MOSS 2007 servers and had the February 2011 CU before that.
Since we installed the June CU all our custom application pages (e.g. an ASP.NET page that opens when you click on "New" in a SharePoint list) throw the following exception when doing any kind of postback (no submit, just a "normal" postback e.g. to switch to the edit mode in an ASP.NET ListView) directly after the completion of the Page_Load method.

Normally this exception indicates that you forgot to set SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true somewhere in your code...but this was workng before installing the June CU, so I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

A: I found out that not only the custom application pages have this problem. The dialog.master also have the same problem.
We fixed this by adding the formdigest before the end of the  tag.

A: Appears to be a problem related to a problem related to FormDigest. See if the pointers below help you understand your problem:

CD/DVD Reviews
BPO 11th November 2018
The Brighton Phil is delighted to welcome international pianist Freddy Kempf to Brighton Dome for the second concert in their 2018/19 season, for a programme of music by Rossini, Beethoven and Dvo?ák.
The concert opens with the overture to Rossini's opera Semiramide, of which the orchestra's Artistic Administrator Ian Brignall says: "This is full of tunes, it's an orchestral showcase – everybody will be smiling at the end of this." Conductor Freddy Kempf agrees: "The opera is not so well known but I think everyone will recognise the overture. It's been used in many Hollywood films, so people will definitely recognise the melodies. And as is typical with Rossini, although it's not the most intricate writing, yet it's so effective. It will really set the scene for the concert."
Then Freddy will perform Beethoven's dramatic Piano Concerto No.3 whilst directing the orchestra from the keyboard. This is a real favourite of his: "I love the Romanticism in the slow movement. I feel that he's written it almost as an improvisation because there are a lot of incomplete things in the score, so I'm trying to improvise a little bit. And the fact that there isn't a conductor there makes it a little easier for us because a lot of the time the orchestral players can pretty much sense what the soloist is doing and this way I don't have to communicate that to a conductor to sort of reinforce that to the orchestra, so it should work really well. I remember when I was a lot younger and learning pieces for the first time I loved the Emperor [piano concerto] probably the most and now that I've played them all, now more and more I tend to love this third piano concerto."
The concert closes with Dvo?ák's Seventh Symphony which Freddy is looking forward to conducting: "This is probably my favourite Dvo?ák symphony and I'm really delighted to be able to do it in this concert. I love the way he incorporates so many folk melodies and folk rhythms, especially dances. I want to bring out what the strings can do, but I also want to concentrate on that dance aspect. I feel emotionally very close to Dvo?ák even though he didn't write a mature piano concerto, and he didn't really write anything for solo piano, he just used it in chamber music, so it's a great way for me to experience Dvo?ák."
Tickets are £12.50-£39.50 (50% student/U18 discount) from Brighton Dome Ticket Office, (01273) 709709, www.brightondome.org

Parking lots play an important role to any business. They are the first thing that customers see. They affect the overall curb appeal and can, ultimately, make or break a business. It is important for business owners to take care of their parking lots by taking advantage of the services provided by paving contractors. Paving contractors can help to repair and protect the parking lot with seal coating and improve visibility with parking lot striping.
Asphalt Sealcoating is the ultimate protector against the elements. Asphalt is porous by nature. The minute it is put down, it is slowly affected by the sun and begins to deteriorate. The sun will cause the asphalt to become brittle and crack. Cracks will continually expand as water enters them. Eventually, the water will soften the ground below the asphalt and cause a pot hole. This can be a nightmare; causing damage to cars and potentially harming customers.
Seal coating will help to avoid these issues. Paving contractors, like Designconstruction.biz, will apply the seal coating over the entire surface of the parking lot. As it is applied, it covered the porous surface and cracks. It then absorbs the sun's energy. While this may seem counterproductive, it helps to make the parking lot pliable. As traffic moves over it, the surface will be able to react according to compensate the weight of the vehicles. In the end, Asphalt Sealcoating will help a parking look great and stay safe for many years.
Striping is an important aspect of any parking lot. Not only does it help drivers see available parking spaces, but it helps guide traffic and retain order in the parking lot. Parking lot striping will fade over time, making them difficult to see. Paving contractors can intensify existing lines or help business owners design a whole new layout. They can paint parking spot lines, driving guides, and no parking lines. After completion, the parking lot will look much better and help drivers get to where they need to go.
Parking lots are an often overlooked aspect of a business. However, faulty parking lots can turn off potential customers and cause a lot of headaches. With the help of professional paving contractors, businesses will have a great looking parking lot that will last for years to come.


A strong earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale has shaken northern Japan, triggering a minor tsunami.
The tremor struck on Saturday with its epicentre located in the Pacific off Fukushima prefecture at a depth of 10km.
A 20cm-high tsunami was observed in Miyagi and other areas north of Tokyo.
An aftershock measuring 5.3 hit northern Japan shortly after the first jolt, the Japanese meteorological agency says.
The Government set up a liaison office at the crisis management centre at the Prime Minister's office in Tokyo.
A powerful quake hit the northern prefecture of Miyagi on June 13, killing 13 people with another 10 missing.
Japan experiences 20 per cent of the world's major earthquakes.


Good, clean, reasonably priced hotel, well located for Olympia.
Almost everywhere was booked up, or way overpriced, so I took a chance on this one, and found a little gem. Easy to locate, Very clean modern room, decent cooked breakfast, and good facilities nearby, most unusual for London.
"The rooms are not big but very comfortable and quiet."

2019: The Year of the Ambassador!
GAO continues to grow and strengthen our Ambassador program. Symposiums and other engagement activities are currently underway–don't miss your chance to get involved!
US Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) poses with Chief Government Affairs Officer Dave Totaro (center) and our Ambassadors of the Year at the 2018 Ambassador Awards trip in Washington, DC
When the Government Affairs Office (GAO) launched the Hearts for Home Care Ambassador program nearly ten years ago, we envisioned that each service office would have a designee who would essentially act as the GAO liaison for that office. How much we've grown! Today, our Ambassadors go above and beyond to be the voice for our staff and clients, and they truly exemplify the leadership and excellence qualities that have grown to be associated with the Ambassador program.
In 2018, GAO committed to a more robust and centralized grassroots program, including a stronger dedication to the Ambassador program. In 2019, under Grassroots Advocacy Manager Mike Sokoloski's leadership, the program is set to have its strongest year yet. This year we will be sharing a new "Ambassador Dashboard" that will help our advocates stay engaged and track their progress, create more 30-minute advocacy Zoom trainings, and bring our top-performing advocates on an exclusive Ambassador Awards trip to Washington, DC in May!
Additionally, one of the most exciting changes we have underway is our newly-revamped state-by-state Ambassador Symposiums. Our Ambassador Symposiums are newly designed and structured to train rookie Ambassadors while simultaneously energizing more seasoned advocates. This year we are partnering with outside organizations and bringing in more legislative and client guest speakers to truly show attendees the impact that strong advocacy has in making meaningful changes for our staff and clients.
DE Senate Majority Leader Nicole Poore joined a recent Ambassador Symposium and shared her thoughts on the importance of advocacy with attendees
So far in 2019, we have held our first Ambassador Symposium in Newark, DE for both our Maryland and Delaware Ambassadors. Here, DE Senator and Majority Leader Nicole Poore came to share her passionate story about how she initially became involved in advocacy for her child, and how she now sees her role as being an advocate for all her constituents. Throughout the spring, we will continue to host Ambassador Symposiums in New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, New York and Rhode Island. Whether or not you've attended in the past, be sure to check out what being an Ambassador is all about during our upcoming symposiums!
As our Ambassador program continues to grow, we are seeking new Ambassadors from all service and support offices, and are seeking greater involvement from field staff, clients, and other organizations. It is vital that we join together as Hearts for Home Care to strengthen our collective voices in support of home care. Our Ambassadors serve as the forefront of our advocacy program, and truly make the difference in educating local legislators about home care and its impact on clients and communities.
For more information about the Ambassador program, upcoming Symposiums, or home care advocacy in general, contact me today!
2019 Ambassador Symposium Schedule*
SC – 2/20 at the state capitol in Columbia
GA – 2/21 at the state capitol in Atlanta
PA – 2/28 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Harrisburg
NJ – 3/13 at the New Jersey Learning Center in Pennsauken
NC – 3/28 at the North Carolina Learning Center in Charlotte
NY – TBD
RI – 4/9 at the Capitol in Providence (morning of Advocacy Day)
*Please note that the DE/MD Symposium has already occurred, but it's not too late to become an Ambassador if you are interested! Contact Mike Sokoloski for information.

PA Ambassador Named 2017 BAYADA Hearts for Home Care Ambassador Rookie of the Year
Submitted by Laura Ness, Director, PA Government Affairs (GAO)
Each year the Government Affairs Office (GAO) selects one outstanding Ambassador as their Rookie of the Year. The individual honored must be a new Ambassador who has made an impact on clients' lives and on the Ambassador program.
As GAO discussed the nominees it was evident that Berks County Visits (BRK) Nurse Trisha Lasher was the clear winner. Trisha is an RN and was BAYADA's first field employee to serve as a Hearts for Home Care Ambassador.
While she was nervous about her first meeting with a legislator, she decided to keep her commitments as promised and do it on her own. We are so happy she did because she hasn't stopped since. Trisha started by visiting Representative Jim Cox (R) in his district, and followed up with him later that year in Harrisburg at Lobby Day. She wrote about her experience in the BAYADA Bulletin, which prompted a joint home visit with Representative Cox and the Reading Adult (RAD) Office. Because of the relationship she has built with Representative Cox, he took immediate action to help an adult client when he visited her.
The client had been trying to get a chair glide installed in her house for five years. After the visit, Representative Cox made several calls to service coordinators, found systemic fraud and flaws in the system, and was able to get the client the chair glide within six weeks of the home visit.
Building on their relationship, Representative Cox agreed to write letters of support for our pediatric rate increase and the Medicaid spend-down issue.
To further her advocacy efforts, as election time rolled around and GAO hosted the Bring the Vote Home Campaign, Trisha enlisted the help of all the office staff to call all clients. They educated clients on voting, the PHA voter guide, and let them know about absentee ballots. Trisha then organized field employees to deliver absentee ballots.
From building relationships to advocating for clients' needs, Trisha has shown her dedication to being an excellent Hearts for Home Care Ambassador.
Honorees traveled to Washington, DC to celebrate their achievements. They enjoyed a private festive reception before heading to dinner and the awards presentation at a local restaurant. Senator Tom Carper joined the group to address some of the major issues affecting health care at the federal level, and to congratulate our Ambassador of the Year awardees. Before heading home, Ambassadors and their guests also spent time touring the city with stops including the White House, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the US Capitol.
Ali Knott Named National Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year
Submitted by Dave Totaro, Chief Government Affairs Officer (GAO)
Delaware Pediatric North (DPN) Director Ali Knott last week was named the 2016 Government Affairs Office (GAO) Hearts for Home Care National Ambassador of the Year!
GAO had the distinct honor of recognizing Ali and four other passionate Ambassadors from our largest-footprint states—Delaware/Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania—during our annual Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year awards celebration.
Over the last year, these Ambassadors of the Year connected with, and actively shared, BAYADA's mission with legislators on behalf of our clients and caregivers.
Ali received the National award after being named the Delaware/Maryland Ambassador of the Year. Since becoming an Ambassador, she has been a consistent supporter and advocate in Delaware public life. In the fall, she and her son, Christopher, met with Senator (now Lt. Governor) Bethany Hall-Long and Senator Nicole Poore where they both made a strong impression on both legislators.
New Jersey Ambassador of the Year Ida Rodriguez, client services manager of Hudson County (HUD) assistive care state programs office, developed and strengthened a relationship with Assemblywoman Angelica Jimenez, which included a home visit with a HUD client. As a result, Assemblywoman Jimenez signed on as a co-sponsor to a vital piece of legislation that BAYADA supports – A320.
Melissa Zuzolo, director of Conover (CON) assistive care state programs and North Carolina Ambassador of the Year coordinated a home visit, served on the board of the BAYADA NC political action committee and represented BAYADA on the Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee.
Pennsylvania Ambassador of the Year Mike Sokoloski was named state Ambassador for the final time. During 2016 he served as community liaison in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) assistive care state programs office. Since then, Mike has transitioned his passion for advocacy into a new position within GAO as the new Grassroots Manager. While serving as an Ambassador in 2016, Mike served as a board member of the BAYADA PA political action committee, organized four legislative round tables, and was appointed by Governor Tom Wolf as the sole home care representative to the Governor's Long-Term Care Council.
U.S. Senator Tom Carper with the 2016 Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors of the Year: Melissa Zuzolo (North Carolina), Ali Knott (Delaware/Maryland and National), Ida Rodriguez (New Jersey); Trisha Lasher (Rookie); and Mike Sokoloski (Pennsylvania)
Trisha Lasher, a nurse in the Berks County Visits (BRK) office was named National Rookie Ambassador of the Year. Trisha has the distinction of being our first field employee to serve as an Ambassador. She built a relationship with Representative Jim Cox that was instrumental in helping a client who had been hitting roadblocks for five years to finally get a chair glide installed in her home.
Honorees traveled to Washington, DC to celebrate their achievements. They enjoyed a private festive reception before heading to dinner and the awards presentation at Charlie Palmer Steak. Senator Tom Carper joined the group to address some of the major issues affecting health care at the federal level, and to congratulate our Ambassador of the Year awardees. Before heading home, Ambassadors and their guests also spent time touring the city with stops including the White House, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the US Capitol.
Thank you to Ali, Ida, Melissa, Mike and Trisha, the GAO team, and to all of our 192 Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors for being the unified voice of our clients who can't always speak up for themselves. It is with your support, and the support of our division directors and directors, that we will continue to make strides toward achieving our BAYADA vision of helping millions of people experience a better quality of life in the comfort of their own homes. After all, as our Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors of the Year reminded us time and time again, advocacy is The BAYADA Way.

Hearts for Home Care State Ambassadors of the Year named, to be honored in Washington, DC
Over the past few weeks, BAYADA's Government Affairs Office (GAO) has announced the Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year finalists for each state. It is with great pleasure that we now congratulate the Hearts for Home Care State Ambassador of the Year winners:
Delaware and Maryland: Ali Knott, director, Delaware Pediatric North (DPN) office
New Jersey: Ida Rodriguez, client services manager, Hudson County (HUD) assistive care state programs office
North Carolina: Melissa Zuzolo, director, Conover (CON) assistive care state programs office
Pennsylvania: Mike Sokoloski, community liaison, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) assistive care state programs office
We also congratulate our national Rookie Ambassador of the Year Trisha Lasher, a nurse in the Berks County Visits (BRK) office.
Each of these individuals has shown an outstanding commitment to advocacy on behalf of our clients and fellow employees, which directly benefits the entire company. For example, in 3Q'16, 24% of all of the growth in the company's revenue came from reimbursement rate increases generated by GAO over the previous year. Without the support of these Ambassadors, it would be very difficult to attain the achievements that generated such remarkable growth throughout our company and we are proud to honor these valued advocates as our 2016 Hearts for Home Care State Ambassadors of the Year.
On March 15, these awardees and their guests will spend time with GAO leadership in Washington DC, enjoying a dinner in their honor and discussing their advocacy efforts. At that dinner, they will officially receive their respective Ambassador of the Year Awards, and one of the four state Ambassadors will receive the prestigious Hearts for Home Care National Ambassador of the Year recognition. The trip also includes an overnight stay at the Marriott Marquis and the opportunity to take in the sights of Washington on a private guided tour.
The Hearts for Home Care Ambassador Program
Since 2011, the Ambassador program has promoted advocacy by calling on staff to take leadership roles within their offices as Ambassadors. The Ambassador's role is to act as a liaison for GAO in communicating the importance of our advocacy initiatives to their colleagues and spearheading visits with legislators at clients' homes, in legislators' district offices, and with staff at our support and service offices.
Our Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors of the Year have gone well above and beyond the ambassador call of duty.
In Delaware, Ali and her son, Christopher, attended a meet-and-greet with Senator (now Lt. Governor) Bethany Hall-Long and Senator Nicole Poore where they made a strong impression on the legislators as Ali shared the challenges of the disability community.
In New Jersey, Ida developed and strengthened a relationship with Assemblywoman Angelica Jimenez, which included a home visit with a HUD client. As a result, Assemblywoman Jimenez signed on as a co-sponsor to a vital piece of legislation that BAYADA supports – A320.
In North Carolina, in addition to coordinating a home visit, Melissa served on the board of the BAYADA NC political action committee and represented BAYADA on the Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee.
In Pennsylvania, in addition to serving as a board member of the BAYADA PA political action committee, Mike organized four legislative round tables in 2016 and was appointed by then-Governor Tom Wolf as the sole home care representative to the Governor's Long-Term Care Council.
Also in Pennsylvania, our Rookie Trisha has the distinction of being our first field employee to serve as an Ambassador. She built a relationship with Representative Jim Cox that was instrumental in helping a client who had been hitting roadblocks for five years to finally get a chair glide installed in her home.
We appreciate all 192 Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors who advocate for our clients and colleagues while still performing their full-time job responsibilities. We also thank the division directors and directors who either serve as Ambassadors or support the Ambassadors in their areas. Everyone's volunteer advocacy efforts truly embody living The BAYADA Way.
Stay tuned for the announcement of our BAYADA Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year!

Meet the DE, MD, NC, and PA Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year Award Finalists
Submitted by Shannon Gahs, Associate Director, DE and MD Government Affairs, Lee Dobson, Area Director, NC Government Affairs and Laura Ness, Director, PA Government Affairs (GAO)
Last week we introduced you to BAYADA's New Jersey Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year finalists. This week we profile the Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors from Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania who have been selected as finalists for their state Ambassador of the Year Awards. Their advocacy over the past year has shown their dedication to being a constant and powerful advocate for our staff and clients.
Now that you have met all of our finalists, next week we will announce the Hearts for Home Care Ambassadors of the Year from each state. These hard-working Ambassadors will receive a trip to Washington, DC for a special awards dinner where they will be honored and the National Ambassador of the Year will be named.
Delaware and Maryland
Baltimore West Visits (BWV) Area Director David Pareja volunteered to be an Ambassador at the beginning of December 2015. Despite his short tenure, he has been very effective. He learned the role, contacted Senator Gail Bates, and completed a very successful home visit at the beginning of January.
Senator Bates was elected in 2002 to the House where she served until elected to the Senate in 2015. She sits on the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee and is a CPA by profession. This gives her credibility in tax and appropriations issues, as well as a vote on health-related matters. In addition to hosting this visit successfully, David involved his team in the effort and spread excitement about advocacy. In his role as area director, he has the ability to encourage others to follow his lead.
Delaware Pediatric North (DPN) Director Ali Knott has been a consistent supporter and advocate in Delaware public life. She and her son, Christopher, attended a meet-and-greet with Senator (now Lt. Governor) Bethany Hall-Long and Senator Nicole Poore after working hours in September where they both made a strong impression on both legislators. The event was hosted by leaders in the disability community, with whom Ali also maintains a good relationship.
In addition, Ali supported coordination and prepared to host a clinical roundtable in her office in December with the Lt. Governor-elect. Although the meeting had to rescheduled at the last minute, that does not diminish Ali's willingness and effort in preparing for this meeting.
Delaware Pediatrics (DP) Clinical Manager Tiffany Willis and her three children spent most of a Sunday in August volunteering for Representative Paul Baumbach at a community fair. Representative Baumbach is known to be a coalition-builder, bringing together legislators with differing motivations to pass legislation that makes sense. He and Tiffany had a good conversation about the need for increased funding for home and community based services.
Following Tiffany's efforts, Representative Baumbach has offered to sponsor legislation on our behalf. Tiffany has also been great at keeping in touch when she has received communications from her federal representatives and candidates for state elections that have reached out to her.
Lake Norman Adults (LNA) Director Chad Shore has been an Ambassador since 2015. In his first year as an Ambassador, he was named the 2015 North Carolina Ambassador Rookie of the Year.
In 2016, Chad hosted two home visits where local legislators visited with BAYADA clients. He responded to 100% of the online calls to action, represented BAYADA at numerous political receptions, and attended NC Legislative Day, where he served as a team leader. Thanks to his hard work and diligence, the LNA office is at 100% for Hearts for Home Care registration.
An Ambassador since 2015, Asheville Pediatrics (AP) Client Services Manager Jennifer Parham arranged to hold a roundtable in her office with a local legislator and coordinated two home visits with legislators and BAYADA clients.
She also served as a team leader during NC Legislative Day, Jennifer has also responded to 100% of the online calls to action and has achieved a 100% for Hearts for Home Care registration in the AP office.
Conover Adults (CON) Director Melissa Zuzolo is a repeat finalist. Last year, she was named the 2015 North Carolina Ambassador of the Year. In 2016, Melissa coordinated a home visit for a local legislator and served as a team leader for North Carolina Legislative Day.
She also represents BAYADA on the Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, where she helped organize a large fundraiser for the organization. As an Ambassador since 2011, Melissa responds to 100% of the online calls to action and attends numerous legislative events on behalf of BAYADA. Thanks to her efforts, the CON office is at 100% for Hearts for Home Care registration.
Sellersville Pediatrics (SEL) Associate Christine Detweiler has been a Hearts for Home Care Ambassador for several years and her office has a 100% Hearts for Home Care registration rate. Chris has taken to building key relationships, and this year she focused in on Representative Craig Staats (R) through district office visits and home visits. Through her relationship building, Representative Staats began to see the importance of pediatric home care, especially after his visit with their client Gabe.
Chris was an integral part of Lobby Day where she encouraged Gabe and his mom to attend the event and worked with Representative Staat's office to arrange parking and other needs. Representative Staats cleared a good amount of time to give Gabe and his family a tour of the Capitol and even arranged for Speaker Turzai to recognize Gabe and BAYADA on the House floor.
Because of their relationship, Rep. Staats wants to ensure that home care is known as the solution and that the state invests in it. He is a supporter and has asked for an active role in helping us achieve our goal of allowing presumptive eligibility for home care.
Berks County Visits (BRK) Nurse Trisha Lasher, an Ambassador since 2016, is our first field employee Hearts for Home Care Ambassador. While she was nervous about her first meeting with a legislator, she decided she'd do it on her own and hasn't stopped since. Trisha started by visiting Representative Jim Cox (R) in his district, and followed up with him later that year in Harrisburg at Lobby Day. She wrote up her experience in the BAYADA Bulletin, which prompted a joint home visit with Representative Cox and the Reading Adult (RAD) assistive care office. Because of the relationship she had built with Representative Cox, when he went to visit an adult client he took immediate action to help the client. The client had been trying to get a chair glide installed in her house for five years. After the visit, Representative Cox made several calls to service coordinators, found systemic fraud and flaws in the system, and was able to get the client the chair glide within six weeks of the home visit. Building on their relationship, Representative Cox agreed to write letters of support for our pediatric rate increase, and the Medicaid spend-down issue.
As election time rolled around and GAO hosted the Bring the Vote Home Campaign, Trisha enlisted the help of all the office staff to call all clients. They educated clients on voting, the PHA voter guide, and let them know about absentee ballots. Trisha then organized field employees to visit those home and deliver the absentee ballots. From building relationships to advocating for clients' needs, Trisha has shown her dedication to being an excellent Hearts for Home Care Ambassador.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) Community Liaison Michael Sokoloski is another repeat finalist on our list. Last year he was selected as the PA Hearts for Home Care Ambassador of the Year as well as the National Ambassador of the Year. A Hearts for Home Care Ambassador since the program began six years ago, he has developed strong ties with every legislator in the northeast portion of the state and makes countless district office and home visits every year.
He also created a niche role for himself as an Ambassador mentor. He has helped others get into the program, helps them make their first visits, and answers questions. As he has started to help with field employee recruitment efforts, he has also hosted Hearts for Home Care Tables, which help introduce our advocacy program to field employees and get them registered on the advocacy center. Mike has planned four legislative roundtables this year to bring about a greater awareness of home care and our issues to key legislators.
Mike is so well known in the northeast that the local Area Agencies on Aging rely on him for information about the state. In fact, he even drove several of them to Harrisburg to participate in a hearing on the issues associated with the independent enrollment broker. Because of the very strong relationships Mike has developed with legislators, he was nominated by Representative Sid Michaels Kavulich to serve on the newly established Long-Term Care Council, and he was appointed to the council by then-Governor Tom Wolf. This council has one official home care representative and because of Mike's relationships, he ensured BAYADA will be that voice.


Mailing services tend to be fairly specific regarding their packaging. This is unsurprising -- it all relates to details such as storage, fitting it into vehicles, the weight involved and actually being able to deliver such packages by hand in one piece. As such, mailing packages require a certain standard if you wish for it to be delivered.
What Mailing Services are needed?
First and foremost, if you're wrapping your parcel with brown paper then make sure it's neatly put together. Haphazardly sticking bits of paper to the package with generous rolls of Sellotape will not cut with many mail services, and may result in your package being rejected or returned. There are plenty of guides on how to wrap packages in paper, but the general rule is to give each side a length of paper equal to the height and width of the package, so that both ends meet at the middle. Tuck and fold the corners in and secure the paper with single short strips of tape.
Objects with sharp edges or odd shapes should be placed in padded envelopes if they're small enough, or else you should place them in a cardboard box full of polystyrene curls for padding. Cut down the box if there's excess space to make the package smaller, and thus more transportable. Fragile items, such as mugs, should not touch each other, or the sides of the packaging. Give them plenty of room to move within the polystyrene or whatever you're using for cushioning.
If there are fragile objects in your package, help your mail service out by placing down a clear FRAGILE label on the side.
On the packaging itself write down not just the address of its destination, but also your own address so the mail service has an address to return it to if there are any difficulties. You should also put a name, address and contact number inside the package itself. For added security, put down nylon or vinyl tape along the edges and openings - this helps keep protect the package from moisture and air and provides greater structural support. If there are any staples or metal fastenings, flatten them down and cover them with tape.
When marking down addresses, print it out clearly in reasonably large letters. For UK addresses, write down the name, the house number and street name, the town or city, the county and the post code. For international addresses, write down the name, house number and street name, the town/city, county/state/department/province/etc and post/zip code, and the country to which you're sending. You can find a reputable mail house here at Orbital Mailing who possesses one of the largest in the South East.

Monsters University (2013)
Posted by Tim Brayton Posted on Jun - 26 - 2013 0 Comments
Big monster on campus
Monsters University is both cute and charming, and I at least found it to be not in the least ways unenjoyable while I was watching it. This is, apparently, where we are now, with Pixar Animation Studios. And note that I'm of the mind that Brave is a pretty solid movie that got a completely unfair rap, so there'll be no post-mortems here. Pixar has been great before; Pixar will, I suppose, be great again. But with Monsters University, Pixar is merely being good - merely making a film that is cute, full of pleasing but sort of routine character beats, wry without being actually funny, deliriously gorgeous, playfully designed without a surplus of creativity. It is a movie that passes basically any test you would be likely to throw its way, except for the one where it justifies the fact that it exists.
A prequel to the 12-year-old Monsters, Inc., the film shares the unenviable anchor of all such films, which is that we know, in general terms, how things are going to end up, since the idealised audience already knows what happens later. And when I claim that MU's ideal audience is familiar with the first film, I'm underselling it considerably. This is a film in which the entire edifice of not just the plot, but the world in which the plot takes place hinges on the need for monsters to collect children's screams, with the titular university serving as one of the finest institutions where monsters go to learn the art of scaring, and the various technical trades that are part of scare refining and storage. The screams, as we know who watched the first movie, are the monster society's fuel source; a fact that underpins every single event that occurs in either of the movies, and one that MU doesn't bother to clarify except through implication, and even that doesn't come until deep into the movie. That's not even touching on how the film doesn't really build up any reason to like the main characters except that it assumes we're already invested in their lives (fair is fair: Toy Story 3, a near-masterpiece, does the same thing). In short: if you don't have a working knowledge of MI, then MU has no real interest in your sort of person.
That being said, some parts are deeply satisfying on the level of prequeling, beginning with a prologue in which we see future Monsters, Inc. star employee Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal, or Noah Johnston as a child) depicted as a little boy, and thus we learn once more the truth established at least as long ago as the Muppet Babies sequence in The Muppets Take Manhattan, that juvenile versions of familiar characters are hella cute. Some parts are not much satisfying at all, like the great majority of what goes on later, and we find that while Mike has been rewound with his personality mostly intact, James "Sulley" Sullivan" (John Goodman) - whose thinner adolescent redesign was terrifying as hell but that's probably just me - apparently used to be a titanic douchebag, and MU is largely the story of how Mike and Sulley, fiercely competitive students in the university's School of Scaring, end up becoming tight-knit friends as Sulley learns the importance of not being a dick and Mike learns that there's more to life than book-larnin'.
Adopting the shape of a traditional '80s "lame frat vs. cool asshole frat" comedy - the cool asshole frat in this case is lead by a grey bull-like monster voiced by Nathan Fillion, who fills the role's generic requirements exquisitely - MU is light on narrative surprises, until the end comes along and presents a rather surprisingly mature and pragmatic lesson about how to keep moving forward in life; unexpectedly, it doesn't subvert the college hijinks template (except that, as a G-rated movie pitched firmly at kids and secondarily at their parents, it has to be a whole hell of a lot cleaner), but simply presents the best, most efficient version of a standard generic property within the context of a pre-existing universe and several pre-existing characters (a lot of non-speaking, blink-and-miss-it cameos; a slightly more extended role for the first film's main antagonist, the chameleon monster Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi), who starts out as an eager, people-pleasing nerd). It's freakishly unambitious for the studio that but five years ago, like it wasn't no thing, gave the world a galaxy-spanning romance between robots married to an ecological fable, though the film's embellishments of the original film universe feel largely well-considered, and thanks to the new characters, we have an especially well-designed Pixar character voiced by Helen Mirren (a bat/centipede hybrid with an officious attitude), for which I am obliged to be grateful.
At least on the level of technology and visuals, the film is a dramatic leap forward; it's been some time since Pixar has seriously pushed the envelope - because after Ratatouille and WALL·E, where could they possibly have left to go? - but apparently they've finally decided, "fuck it, time for photorealism", because several of the locations in MU, particularly a forest at night late in the film, look more eerily like the real world that you and I occupy than anything in any computer animated feature I've ever seen (the short attached to MU in its theatrical run, The Blue Umbrella goes even further, looking so realistic that I couldn't convince my brain that I was looking at animation in several shots). I'm not certain that of all projects, the fantasy starring big cutesy monsters was the one to leap over that gulf, but what it leaves us with is a movie of particularly expressive locations and peerlessly subtle and beautiful lighting, far enough beyond the already magnificently tactile WALL·E that I shudder with joy to think of what will happen when the studio commits itself to a story of that depth and resonance again.
Because Monsters University is... not that. It's a very nice family film with powerfully few surprises, even fewer than the prequel framework would seem to have already insisted upon, and first-time feature director Dan Scanlon has not remotely the same facility with these characters that MI director Pete Docter did; they resemble the eminently lovable and emotionally full figures from before, but they don't have the same resonance and complexity. Maybe this is what happens when you take the unendurably adorable human toddler out of the equation; maybe it's what happens when you're not telling a story that ever breaks away from the most obvious channels and clichés, however successfully revived. At any rate, I can't credibly argue that Monsters University is in any way bad or deficient, but it's dreadfully plain and ordinary, and that almost turns out to be worse.

The Bling Ring (2013)


Storer College was founded in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, in 1865 by the Freewill Baptist Home Mission Society. It was the first college in West Virginia that admitted African Americans.
The college was the site of the second national conference of the Niagara Movement in 1906. Frederick Douglass spoke on campus in 1881.
After the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education and the subsequent racial integration of colleges and universities in West Virginia, Storer College closed its doors in 1955. Its campus is now part of the Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. Its endowment was transferred to Virginia Union University in Richmond. Virginia Union University now considers Storer graduates as its alumni.
The story of this unique chapter in Black higher education history is told in a new book An American Phoenix: A History of Storer College From Slavery to Desegregation, 1865-1955 (West Virginia University Press, 2015). The book is authored by Dawne Raines Burke, an assistant professor of education at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The research for the book was done in conjunction with Dr. Burke's doctoral dissertation at Virginia Tech.

Adlay / adlai (Job's tears)
Adlay or adlai (Job's tears) is a grain that looks like cracked rice. It is cooked like rice (by water absorption) but the cooked texture and mouthfeel resembles pasta cooked al dente.
My daughters like to give samples of their home cookedsweets to their friends, and the friends' families get to enjoy them too. In reciprocal moves, we find ourselves on the receiving end too. It's amusing, really, that although Speedy and I haven't personally met the parents of many of our daughters' friends, we feel that we know them, in a manner of speaking, because of these food exchanges. It may sound like a cliché but it is nonetheless true that food is a social medium—a means for strangers to get to know one another by learning how and what other people eat.
That was how my family was introduced to adlai, also called Job's Tears, a grain that looks like cracked rice but, when cooked, has the texture ofpasta cooked al dente.
It was just another Thursday and it would have been a Thursday like all the rest but, before noon, Speedy woke me up to sign a delivery receipt. I wasn't sure where it came from but I was too sleepy to ask. The next time I opened my eyes, there was a heavy package on the couch beside the bed. I tore it open and inside were two bags of Arabica and a bag of adlai. Alex said they were from her friend's mom. Alex was making cauliflower casserole for lunch and, instead of cooking rice to go with it, I asked Speedy to try the adlai instead.
How to cook adlay / adlai (Job's tears)
The cooking instructions were right there on the label—boil one part adlai and two parts water, and cook it just like rice.
While the adlai was cooking and the cauliflower casserole was in the oven, I read up on adlai. Although I had heard of it before, I was surprised to read that as early as 2010, the then Secretary of Agriculture, Proceso Alcala, had beenpromoting adlai as a cheaper and a healthier alternative to rice and corn.
It can also be made into breakfast cereal and wine. In fact, in Zamboanga de Sur where locals have been consuming adlai for a long time, they make vinegar and the native wine called pangasi from adlai grains.
Health benefits of adlay / adlai (Job's tears)
But, perhaps, the most significant thing about adlai is that it has more health benefits than rice. In folk medicine, it is used for headaches, fever, inflammation and arthritis. For the modern generation suffering from "lifestyle diseases", adlai is gluten free and has a low glycemic index which makes it a good choice for gluten-intolerant people and those suffering from diabetes.
The question, of course, is whether adlai tastes good enough to be a real alternative to rice. I've described the texture of cooked adlai earlier—it's more like pasta cooked al dente than rice. There is a subtle chewiness in the grains. It is also more filling than most whiterice varieties. If you're used to eating a cup of rice every meal, half a cup of boiled adlai will make you feel just as full.
Stir fried adlay (Job's tears) a la yang chow
Cook adlay (Job's tears') like rice, spread on a tray to cool to room temperature then stir fry it yang chow fried rice style. Delicious and filling one bowl meal.

Q: How to put in a file on android to keep location on So I'm trying to monitor my child location , he likes to turn it off so I can't track him.... specifically how would I write a code to say when he turns off his location, stay on
Or a code that disables its touch
And how would I put it in android, just send the file to the phone, or do I insert it in a rooted phone

A: Good Question. You can create Admin App in advance solution then it can control phone and prevent user (children) to turn off what you set or even prevent uninstalling it.
but If you it's ok to save last available location register broadcast receiver and when GPS turn off get info and write to a file
<receiver android:name=".GpsLocationReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

also you need to add permissions in manifest and request permissions at runtime
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE"/>

then in class get location info and write it to file
     public class ReceiverGPS extends BroadcastReceiver{

            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    if(locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) == false){
                //write file here
}
        }
        }
