Foi Enquiries, Aberdeen City Council 11 September 2017
Dear Mr Watt,
Thank you for your information request of 14 August 2017. Aberdeen City
Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
Further to my request of yesterday's date (see
[1]https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o... ) please provide me with
a) a copy of all correspondence, meeting agendas, meeting minutes, notes
or other records pertaining to Aberdeen CC's participation in the SCA's
open data project (whether between officers, managers, elected members,
external partners or others) from 16th June 2017 to date
ACC is unable to provide you with all correspondence, meeting agendas,
meeting minutes, notes or other records pertaining to Aberdeen City
Council's participation of the Scottish Cities Alliance's open data
project (whether between officers, managers, Elected Members', external
partners or others) from 16 June 2017 to 14 August 2017 as the cost of
providing it has been calculated as being in excess of the statutory
maximum (£600).
To explain why this is the case, many staff across the Council have been
involved in the open data project during the time period you are
interested in. This means that many Officers from different teams and
functions across the Council may hold information that is relevant to your
We have estimated that there are at least 38 Officers who are likely to
hold information relevant to your request.
In order to ensure that the Council had located and provided all
information relevant to your request the Council would require to ask
each officer to undertake a search of their email mailboxes and shared
drives, as well as any hard copy information which may fall within the
scope of your request.
In addition, there are members of staff who have been involved in this
project and who may have information within the scope of your request who
no longer work for the Council so this would involve searching archived
email accounts for relevant information which may take longer to locate
because the Officer conducting the search would not be familiar with the
filing system used in such mailboxes.
We have estimated that for officers who still work for the Council (35),
it would take an average of 1.5 hours per officer to ensure that
information relevant to your request had been located. This has been
calculated at £15 per hour, which equates to 52.5 hours, at the cost of
£787.50. This estimation has been based on one officer undertaking this
For Officers (3) who no longer work for the Council we have estimated that
this search would take longer, for the reasons given above, at 2 hours per
Officer who may hold information. This has been calculated at £15 per
hour, which equates to 6 hours, at the cost of £90.
This gives a total estimated cost of responding to this part of your
request of £877.50. In addition, it is possible that each of these
Officers may identify further Officers who may hold information within the
Because this is in excess of £600, we are unable to comply with this part
of your request as it is in excess of the maximum cost of compliance. In
order to comply with its obligations under the terms of Section 16 of the
FOISA, ACC hereby give notice that we are refusing your request under the
terms of Section 12 - Excessive Cost of Compliance - of the FOISA.
ACC would be happy to discuss ways in which you may refine your request,
so we can provide some information of interest to you within the maximum
cost limits. For example, is there a particular aspect of the open data
project that you are most interested in ? Please do contact the
Information Compliance team, who will be happy to advise you, if this is
something you would like to pursue.
b) any requests for legal advice or legal review of ACC position in
relation to the programme
An officer requested advice on 27 July regarding the position of ERDF
funded projects given change in corporate approvals process for any IT
project spend – this was initiated by the request from Dundee City Council
to sign off the contract for the open data platform on 21 July 2017.
c) a copy of any project documentation which shows ACC's legal obligation
in regards to the programme - such as signed letters of commitment,
minutes of agreement, memorandum of understanding, contracts or similar
Information held by the Council which falls within the scope of your
request is:
1) the Collaboration Agreement:
2) a Letter of Award 2016
We are currently seeking approval to issue these documents to you.
We hope this helps with your request.
Grant Webster
Information Compliance Officer
INFORMATION ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR REQUEST
ACC handled your request for information in accordance with the provisions
of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. Please refer to the
attached PDF for more information about your rights under FOISA.

Ian Watt 19 September 2017
Dear Foi Enquiries,
In order to limit cost, please restrict the scope to those officers employed in the Corporate Governance / OCE directorates and who are still in ACC employment.
We understand your request to be:
Further to my earlier request (see
[1][1]https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o... ) please provide me
a copy of all correspondence, meeting agendas, meeting minutes, notes or
other records pertaining to Aberdeen CC's participation in the SCA's open
data project between officers employed in the Corporate Governance/OCE
Directorates who are still in ACC employment from 16th June 2017 to date.

FOI 17 1347 Action Note Redacted.pdf
Thank you for your information request of 19 September 2017. Aberdeen
City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
There have been two emails which fall within the scope of your request:
1. An Action note following a discussion around failure to progress with
the open data platform contract and spend. Please see attached a copy of
that Action note, FOI-17-1347 – Action Note.
Please note that third party names and personal details, as well as the
names of ACC Officers who are below Head of Service level have been
redacted (blacked out) from the attached document as it is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. In order
to comply with its obligations under the terms of Section 16 of the FOISA,
ACC hereby gives notice that we are refusing your request under the terms
of Section 38(1)(b) in conjunction with 38(2)(a)(i) – Personal Information
- of the FOISA.
In making this decision ACC considered the following points:
ACC is of the opinion that Section 38(1)(b) applies to the information
specified above as any information held is personal information relating
to living individuals, of which the applicant is not the data subject.
ACC is of the opinion that Section 38(2)(a)(i) applies, as we consider
that disclosure of this information would be a breach of the first Data
Protection Principle (that personal information must be processed fairly
and lawfully). These individuals have not consented to the disclosure of
their information, and ACC does not consider that they would expect ACC to
release this information about them into the public domain under the
FOISA.
2. An email which constitutes legal advice.
We are unable to provide you with a copy of this email as we consider that
it is exempt from disclosure.
In order to comply with its obligations under the terms of Section 16 of
the FOISA, ACC hereby gives notice that we are refusing your request under
the terms of Section 36(1) - Information in respect of which a claim to
confidentiality of communications could be maintained in legal proceedings
– of the FOISA.
The information contained within the email is legal advice provided to ACC
by its legal adviser (a solicitor), and was provided in confidence. As
such, a claim to confidentiality of communications could be maintained in
legal proceedings.
The exemption claimed by ACC is a non-absolute exemption and where a
non-absolute exemption applies, ACC is required by Section 16(2) of FOISA,
to inform you as to why in all the circumstances of the case, the public
interest in maintaining this exemption outweighs the public interest in
disclosing this information to you.
It is considered by ACC that release of this information may allow the
public to understand the background to any position ACC takes on this
project.
However, ACC believes that in this case the public interest lies in
withholding information where disclosure could prejudice the position of
ACC (and its legal adviser) in future negotiations.
As per our previous response (FOI-17-1176), all ongoing projects and
commitments are being examined to ensure that resource is targeted at
transformation projects that can deliver modern delivery of services
within a climate of reduced finances and increasing demand.
Aberdeen City Council has now begun implementation of the Transformation
Change and Portfolio framework that underpins an integral part of the
Target Operating Model. Full details of this, including the Digital
Strategy Programme update are [2]publicly available and provide a
breakdown of current prioritised activities and principles governing all
future programmes of work.

lol, ACC really getting into the spirit of "open" there.

According to your reply on 11th September:
"Information held by the Council which falls within the scope of your
We are currently seeking approval to issue these documents to you."
Your most recent reply appears to be silent on these.
Please provide these by return.
Thank you for your email of 21 October 2017 which we received on 23
Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in providing this
additional information to you. I will contact the relevant service as soon
as possible to discuss.
That's OK, Grant.
I appreciate your assistance, as always
Ian Watt 18 November 2017
Can you please update me on this request?
It is now over 3 months since I raised it.
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Aberdeen City Council's handling of my FOI request 'Open Data - part 2'.
This was raised in mid-August and I was advised in September that permission was being sought to release two of the documents sought. That has not happened.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...
Foi Enquiries, Aberdeen City Council 22 November 2017
Thank you for your request for a review, received on 20 November 2017, to
reconsider the information request FOI-17-1179 – Open Data Project on the
basis that you have yet to receive a response from Aberdeen City Council
(ACC) with regards to part c) of your request.
In accordance with the timescales set out in FOISA, you should receive a
review outcome on or before 19 December 2017. If a response to your
information request is provided on or before that date, this will be
deemed to be the review outcome. If ACC fails to provide you with a
response by that date, you can apply to the Office of the Scottish
Information Commissioner (OSIC) to make a decision. Please refer to the
Further Information section below.
I would also take this opportunity to advise you that you will have no
further opportunities to seek a review at local authority level after your
response has been provided, as FOISA allows applicants to have one review
only. If you receive your response and disagree with any aspect of it,
you should contact OSIC directly.
Anna Buchan
On behalf of the Review Panel Clerk
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request for an internal
review, you can apply directly to the Office of the Scottish Information
Commissioner (OSIC) for a decision. Generally, OSIC cannot make a decision
unless you have been through the ACC's review procedure. To make an
application to OSIC, please write or email OSIC at:
The Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner
Kinburn Castle
Doubledykes Road
KY16 9DS
[1]www.itspublicknowledge.info
An application to OSIC must be made in writing within six months of
receipt of ACC's Review Decision Notice. When applying to OSIC for a
decision you should give your name and address for correspondence. Please
note that OSIC will not be able to investigate if you have not used your
real name to make your information request. You must also specify:
You must also specify:
● which request for information your requirement for review relates to
● the reason that you asked ACC to carry out a review of your request
● the reason why you are not satisfied with ACC's review outcome decision
The Commissioner will contact ACC and invite its comments on your
application. Thereafter (if no settlement has meantime been reached), the
Commissioner must reach a decision within 4 months of receiving your
application, or within such other period as is reasonable. You will
receive written notice of the outcome of the Commissioner's decision.
Should you wish to appeal against the Scottish Information Commissioner's
decision, there is an appeal to the Court of Session on a point of law
only. Any such appeal must be made within 42 days after the date of the
decision has been issued.

I just bought a Burny Les Paul Junior (2 cutaways) but I cannot date it. I have checked the Guitars Japan page (http://www.guitarsjapan.com/burnyfernandesinfopage.html) but still I'm not sure what I have.
OK, I found the answer myself: according to the latest FERNANDES catalogue I have a 2003 model and it's made in Japan.
h?h?! I saw that one. Really nice guitar! I like that kind of simple finish. Nothing too flashy, just the color of the wood ! really cool!

The Paraclete Catholic Books and Gifts was first conceived by two members of a Ministry Formation program trying to design a final project. While it did not fit the program's parameters, Vonnie Spicer and Karl Fillauer did not abandon the idea of providing a Catholic resource to serve the spiritual needs of Knoxville's 2% Catholic population, and The Paraclete was born in 1987. After years of private ownership, The Paraclete was donated to the Diocese of Knoxville in 2012. Since then, proceeds from sales have been used to support our diocesan seminarians.


It was just last December that Chevy released the 2019 Silverado model in honor of the 100-year anniversary of the first Chevy truck ever made. This is a model that has been on the market for a number of years. This year there are many updates that are contributing to making this a front runner in the truck market. It is looking like 2019 is going to be a very successful year for Chevrolet and the 2019 Silverado. Ford is bringing an updated F-150 to the market this year. Ram has its 1500 to compete with. Let's take a closer look at some of the features of the 2019 Silverado.
What Are The Trims & Features For The 2019 Chevy Silverado?
Among the trim levels available on the new Silverado there is more space in each option. The truck itself has an addition 1.6 inches while the wheelbase has 3.9 more inches. The back seat sees most of the room in the crew cab trim level. The extended cab trim levels had additional space throughout. The cabins are all very quiet compared to previous years.
Prior to taking a look at the power that is available under the hood, the interior of the Silverado stands out as being very comparable to previous years and competitors. The infotainment system is very simple to use and learn. There is a nice audio system included in all of the trim levels.
The Power Under the Hood!
The standard engine in the 2019 Chevy Silverado is a 2.7-liter, DOHC turbo engine with 16-valve direct injection. This engine provided 310 horsepower in its original testing along with 348 pound-feet of torque. This new engine option also includes a double-volute turbocharger that allows for an instant throttle response. Airflow is sent through two different scroll shapes that are opposite of the turbine wheel. This allows for avoidance of interference.
The new engine option for the 2019 Chevy Silverado includes cylinder deactivation on two of the cylinders. There is also dynamic cam timing that is based off of various power needs. Three different lift profiles are available as part of the Tri Power lineup that includes low-power, high-power and deactivation. An electric water pump will reduce any drag that is present on the power system.
There is also a V8 engine option that features the newest Dynamic Fuel Management system. This includes cylinder deactivation with 17 different profiles. These changes can be made every 12.5 milliseconds to adapt to driving conditions.
This is a truck that will work well for a number of purposes. People can use this vehicle to tow plenty of weight behind their vehicle. It is also safe enough and comfortable enough that it can be a family vehicle.
You can really create the type of vehicle that you want when it comes to the interior and safety of the 2019 Chevy Silverado.
If you are interested in finding out more about the 2019 Chevy Silverado then you can stop down to Van Chevrolet. We will get you behind the well of one of these trucks this fall so you can try it out for yourself.

RPT-ANALYSIS-Ahead of China anniversary, trade war fans calls for faster market reforms
Kevin Yao
(Repeats story that ran on Friday)
* China economists, govt advisers beat drum for faster reforms
* Discontent over state involvement in business activity
* U.S. demands China shift away from state-led model
* Hard-pressed entrepreneurs call for state sector reform
* Limited China concessions seen in response to U.S. pressure
By Kevin Yao
BEIJING, Dec 14 (Reuters) - China's trade war with the United States is spurring some Chinese entrepreneurs, government advisers and think-tanks to call for faster reforms in the world's second-largest economy and the freeing of a private sector stifled by state controls.
The calls for change have become louder as China approaches a key anniversary later this month, although there are no signs that the government is planning to shift any key policies.
Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of the opening up of China's economy by former leader Deng Xiaoping, and the start of a series of landmark capitalist experiments that lifted much of the country out of poverty and turned it into an economic powerhouse.
China has long said it would further liberalise its vast market at its own pace.
But a growing number of government advisers feel that now is the time to do so, saying that reforms would defuse trade tensions with the United States and secure China's long-term economic ascent simultaneously.
The United States has demanded that China shift away from its state-led model by cutting industrial subsidies, opening up its market to U.S. goods, and cracking down on intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers.
"This could be an opportunity for China as the pressure from the United States could be turned into a driving force for reforms," an adviser to the government told Reuters.
"The pressure on China is very big and we should have long-term preparations."
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping agreed to a truce that delayed a planned Jan. 1 increase of U.S. tariffs to 25 percent from 10 percent on $200 billion of Chinese goods while they negotiate a trade deal.
To clinch a deal, China could make some concessions, including further opening up its market to U.S. goods, scaling back subsidies and improving intellectual property protection, policy insiders said. But, they added, China won't ditch its industrial development plans vital to its competitiveness.
"The United States has requested China quicken reforms, which are also in line with our interests," said a second government adviser.
"We will push for market-oriented reforms, but we cannot be too hasty and we won't completely copy the Western model."
The State Council, or the cabinet, did not respond to a faxed request for comment.
In June, China unveiled a long-anticipated easing of foreign investment curbs in the banking, agriculture, automotive and heavy industries, as it moved to show it would fulfil pledges to open its markets further.
Xi is expected to make a major speech on Tuesday in Beijing to mark the reform and opening anniversary, diplomatic sources say.
STATE INTERVENTION
There is widespread disappointment among some Chinese economists over the pace of reforms after top leaders unveiled sweeping plans in 2013 to let the market play a decisive role in resource allocation.
Discontent over an increased presence by the Communist Party in all types of businesses has been growing in recent months.
"There is still too much government intervention. I haven't felt any relaxation for the time being and don't think the government will relax," said Sam Yu, general manager at MENTECHS, an industrial equipment manufacturer in Jiangsu province's Changzhou city.
"I think external factors are needed to promote internal reforms," he added, referring to the trade war.
Wu Jinglian, a prominent government economist, has called on Chinese leaders to show "greater political courage and wisdom" to fulfil their promises to carry out reforms vital to China's development and transformation.
Levin Zhu, son of former Premier Zhu Rongji, who spearheaded painful reforms in the 1990s to tackle the bloated state sector, made a similar call at a recent finance forum in Beijing.
"It will be very difficult for a society to maintain systematic progress if there is no reform and opening up," Zhu said.
Speaking at the same forum, Liu Shijin, an adviser to the central bank, said reforms to improve China's "imperfect" market economy and further opening up will help it cope with trade frictions with the United States.
PLIGHT OF PRIVATE FIRMS
The constraints on China's private firms, seen by many as the key to sustained economic growth, contrast with the increased power of state-owned enterprises, which staged a comeback during the 2008 global crisis, riding on a huge government stimulus package.
Underlining a trend known as "the state sector advances, the private sector retreats", government entities have acquired or said they are planning to acquire controlling stakes in at least 31 listed private firms so far this year, according to a Reuters review of corporate disclosures.
That outpaces the handful of such purchases last year.
Xi has pledged financing and tax support for financial firms, as part of measures to ward off a sharper slowdown in the economy, but private businesses are lobbying for a level playing field between them and state firms.
However, there is little sign that Xi will take bolder action to clip the wings of state firms.
In October, central bank chief Yi Gang said China planned to adopt the principle of "competitive neutrality" to create a level playing field between state-owned and private firms.
But analysts believe the pledge is merely symbolic given the close ties between the government and state firms.
"Reform is the only way. Previous reforms did not touch on politics, but there is no more room," said another adviser. "We've reached a bottleneck if we only do economic reforms without changing politics." (Additional reporting Zhang Min, Ben Blanchard and Beijing newsroom; Editing by Philip McClellan)

Richard Chizmar's Excellent Collection THE LONG WAY HOME Is A Must Have For Lovers Of "Uniquely Portable Magic"
Cemetery Dance Publications
Remember those commercials that used the catchphrase: "If it's brand name here, it's GOT to be good?" After multiple decades of working himself into the position he's in as an independent publisher, editor, NY Times bestselling author, and regular contributor to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, I think Richard Chizmar deserves that sort of instant recognition. He's always doing something new and contributing stories to a multitude of publications. Widow's Point, his excellent collaboration with son, Billy, has become a movie and just this month he's announced that there will be a sequel to Gwendy's Button Box which he collaborated on with a young hopeful from the state of Maine, Stephen King. So call me bold if you want to, but I say "If Richard Chizmar is involved, it's going to be AWESOME."
When I got the opportunity to review The Long Way Home I said, "Yes please!" This is a super cross-section of Chizmar's work that includes 5,000 words of autobiographical notes and two heart-on-the-page pieces. My Father and Ellery Queens Mystery Magazine is about love and what drives Richard Chizmar as a writer and publisher. This essay is something that most of us can relate to, even if they lacked a parent like this. There was somebody-a teacher, librarian, friend that helped us to keep going. The other piece Stephen King at 70-A Tribute to the Gunslinger is about magic. Most specifically, the magic created by the written word and a magical friendship between an author and his rock star. This writing community we're all part of is built on this kind of magic. Richard Chizmar is a warm, friendly person who makes time to do interviews and podcasts with independent publications. He is constantly talking up creative projects by other writers, and even responds to Tweets from reviewers like me. In The Long Way Home he shows us that he knows what we're going through and how we feel because he's walked through the fire more than once.
But wait, don't let your guard down just yet. Because along with all that warmth come short stories that may cause you to water your leg like the narrator of Roses and Raindrops, who discovers that it's not always best to know the truth. Aberdeen, Virginia is a really nice place to live, except for one weird problem. Every time there's a thunderstorm, small children end up dead. No one can figure out the reason why or who is committing these murders. Our narrator is among them until he makes a special delivery to a residence outside of town. He sees everything and although he can't believe it, he can't avoid what his eyes are taking in. You'll be surprised too. Make sure to use the facilities before you start reading this tale!
You'll also feel that kind of icy terror while reading the first story in this collection The Man Behind The Mask. A woman hoping for some kind of closure after enduring hell as the captive of a mask wearing man gets the chance. The mother of the other female captive agrees to meet with Jennifer. Yes! A chance at redemption and to talk to someone who truly understands what she's been though. The woman even offers to host their get together at her home. How nice! Jennifer is nervous but knows she has to do this in order to move forward with her life. Unfortunately, neither of the women benefits much from the meeting. Quite the opposite happens. But someone is very pleased with the results! Oh man! This one took my breath away.
A Nightmare On Elm Lane starts off as a harmless sounding story about a kid living in a nice suburban neighborhood with one of those dads who always seems to have a "great idea" for a project. This one is a goldfish pond that Kevin and his Dad need to dig a hole in the backyard for. Despite his initial trepidation, Kevin finds himself enjoying the process and hanging out with Dad. It's a great summer, until their digging uncovers things that shouldn't be there. The police are called and the neighborhood becomes obsessed with what is going on. If that's not creepy enough, someone starts visiting their yard after dark. They're looking for something special, but only one person knows where it is…Holy Aqua Velva!
The two pieces in The Long Way Home that contain the police detective duo of Ben Crawford and Frank Logan are a treat. I really hope that Richard Chizmar does produce a collection featuring these guys and the unique cases they handle. They are the imperfect yin and yang that mix like chips and dip or tennis and a couple of overweight cops. Their back and forth makes the stories they live in funny as hell and amazing as they unravel puzzles that seem to lack answers. The Witch finds the fellows zooming out to handle a murder that happens on Halloween. Is their suspect just wearing a costume or is there something else going on? The Hunch is a complex psychological mystery that starts with this profound discussion.
"Your doctor's an asshole"
"Really mature, Frank"
When Frank Logan doesn't like something, he lets you know right up front. That's a trait that makes him really refreshing to read and funny. But don't be fooled by his demeanor. Inside that stubborn head is razor sharp brain that picks up on clues that no one else sees. When Ben tries to force his doctor's idea of playing tennis to lose weight on Frank, he gets what he deserves. Ben Crawford is the "good guy" in this partnership and possesses a lot more people skills than his partner. Alone neither of these guys would be very effective, but together they are unstoppable. Great detective stories with highly memorable characters that you can see in your head as you read Chizmar's words.
I've only touched to tip of the iceberg in this vast collection of "uniquely portable magic" written by a man who is a hero to many of us. Not only is he amazing in what he's achieved, but he's faced adversity many times and beaten it down with the help of that fellow from Maine I mentioned earlier. The Long Way Home has definitely found a home on the "Wall of Fame" here in the Skullcave and gets a VERY enthusiastic 5 STAR RATING! To cut to the chase, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. Every story is a gem and the autobiographical portions are gold. Richard Chizmar is a high level practitioner of storytelling magic. You will feel it in your heart when you savor the pages of this this amazing collection. I only wish that Ben Crawford and Frank Logan were not fictional characters so that we could vote for them to be our next presidential duo.

I'M PROUD TO BE IN THE NEW ISSUE OF SLAB WITH MY POEM "BLUES!"
Warm Weather Means More Reading On The Move, So Take TRAJECTORY JOURNAL Along For The Ride! The Miles Will Fly By And You'll Be The Envy Of Your Fellow Beach Readers With Issue 18 In Hand. Available NOW!


The closest beach from the house, and not so known, is Keawekapu beach. Mornings are best especially in the summer when trade winds pick up in the afternoon and the beach sand may sand blast you.
To get there from the house take Alaume St. to Ohina St turn right immediately turn left on Aukahi St. That dead ends into Kauhale St. turn left. That dead ends into Kilohana Dr. turn right. Just before it dead ends into Lower Kihei Rd. parking is on left. Walk across Lower Kihei Rd. and go right to public pathway to beach.
A great grass park and beautiful sand beach with lava rocks jutting out, one of our favorites, is Kamaole III state beach and park straight down Keonekai Rd. from house. This is where we like to play bocce ball on the grass park. Call Denise cell at 808 250-1208 if the bocce ball set is not at the house and we will drop it off for you.
Our favorite beach is Big Beach at Makena State Park which has got soft deep sand and the water is usually nice for swimming. Be careful if there is large surf. Even the small waves can sweep you off your feet and give you a good pounding due to the waves breaking in shallow water. One of the best views of any beach is a top the point to the North of big beach, all the way to the right as you face the water…if you don't mind a little rock ascent to the point the view is tremendous, great for photos. Little beach is on the other side of this point and is swimming suit optional.
You will notice in the guest comment section everyone loves going to Po'olenalena Beach just down the way in Makena. Perfect for the entire family and easy access to your car.


I quite like social media. Mostly just Facebook and Instagram.
These days I discover that YouTube and SoundCloud is not that hard to use and building a blog is fun too. So I experiment it with lots of learning pleasure.
I often heard kids telling me that they don't want to start a singing account because people are judgy and they are mean critics everywhere .
In life you really will see trolls everywhere. There are people who will only express their concern when you are not on top form. When you are on the top they won't even click a like on your Facebook to congratulate you.
And you know what ? It's really ok. At the end of the day they are the one with insecurity. You just move on with your top form and be with people who have the same vibe and energy like you.
I dont care there is no subscriber on my youtube or SoundCloud. I want to keep all the good things that make me happy on record.
If you continue to devote to good work people will draw to you. I have never spent one cent on advertising but I sent "I am so sorry the studio is full I will definitely contact you as soon as there is availability" email weekly . Everyone is searching for happy things and new inspirations. I especially encourage the kids who just go and do things. One day they will understand action is gold. You learn everything from action.
Remember Steve Job once said, if you aim for the sky, even if you fall you are still failing on top of everyone else.

The DOL Conflict of Interest Rule gets to the core issue for investors: trust. Trust remains one of the biggest reasons investors pick their advisor. There are many smart, engaged, and honest advisors; however, a small fraction make headlines for the wrong reasons. Thus, the DOL seeks to tighten the definition of an advisor's fiduciary standard, which will increase the responsibility of the advisor to act in the best interest of the client. This law is designed to validate the advisor's advice, which can increase the trust investors have in financial advisors.
Advicent recently participated in a DOL webinar hosted by North Highland experts and discussed potential scenarios for the fiduciary rule under the new Trump administration. The webinar also covered topics such as what firms should be doing now, the role of firm leaders during implementation, and considerations for technology evaluation. You can watch the full webinar in the video below.
While there is no single solution to ensure compliance with the DOL Conflict of Interest Rule, Advicent has created The Compliance Blueprint to empower firms and advisors with the tools to deepen client relationships through increased trust and transparency, remain profitable in the facing of changing regulation, and create a streamlined and repeatable process — all while keeping financial planning at the core.
It is clear that holistic financial planning will play a key role when creating strategies for compliance. Our decades of unmatched experience mean we are always prepared for changes in the industry, ensuring our development of first-in-class tools are always ahead of the curve for regulatory changes. The Compliance Blueprint is a three-part offering from Advicent which includes unique DOL-ready financial planning software functionalities, a DOL Education Center, and consultant partnership services — all supported by decades of experience providing guidance and thought leadership to our clients through past regulatory changes.
Advicent clients can leverage our North Highland partnership and utilize their DOL Fiduciary Foundations Playbook which includes a risk assessment, DOL readiness assessment, advisor training, and more. This holistic and structured approach will assist firms in quickly implementing changes that may be necessary with the new regulations. Advicent clients who take advantage of North Highland services will receive preferred pricing on this solution.

Physical wellness is one of the pillars of ASDA's Wellness initiative. As a dental student with a busy schedule, it can be difficult to always find the time to make it to the gym and eat the proper foods. However, having a healthy lifestyle is so important not only for your own well-being, but for your performance in school as well.
Here are 5 tips that everyone can use to make physical wellness more achievable!
Setting goals in the gym – having specific fitness goals will give you something to work towards in the gym and motivate you to make it after long days at school. This could be to lose a certain amount of weight or add a certain amount of strength. If you set a goal that is important to you then you'll be willing to do what it takes to accomplish it!
Workout with a buddy – having someone to workout with not only gives you an accountability partner, but also someone who can push you harder during your workouts. Having someone to workout with also makes the gym more fun than having to go all by yourself.
Cook in bulk – meal planning in advance and making multiple meals at a time will save you valuable time each day. Having food at home will also discourage you from eating out and making unhealthy choices. Cooking at home is also way cheaper than eating out!
Cook on the days you don't go to the gym – doing these things on the same day can be almost impossible for a dental student who is at school all day. Splitting them up for different days makes them way more manageable on a busy schedule.
Mix up your workouts and food choices – by trying new foods and keeping your workouts fresh you avoid the monotony that can come along with always having to eat right and exercise. Some novelty can make the process way more enjoyable.
Hopefully these tips make it easier for you as a busy dental student to practice healthy habits. And remember, improving your physical wellness can affect the other aspects of your life as well. Taking care of your body can work to improve your general mood and even your performance in school!

Welcome to the second Alliance Audio – recorded live from Warsaw at the 2017 European Foundation Centre conference!
This is the latest in a new series debating key issues in philanthropy with guests from across the foundation world.
In this podcast Alliance editor Charles Keidan hosts a discussion with Ewa Kulik-Bielińska, outgoing Chair of the EFC and Director of the Stefan Batory Foundation, Stefan Schäfers, Head of European Affairs at the King Baudouin Foundation and Liana Varon, Deputy Secretary General at the Third Sector Foundation of Turkey.
Following on from their pieces in Alliance over the last few months, these philanthropy experts and practitioners discuss the controversial topic of solidarity within philanthropy; What does solidarity look like from where they are? And how is philanthropy responding to the strains between people and states across Europe. If solidarity means different things to different people, how can philanthropy help to build a shared humanity?
Charles: Welcome to alliancemagazine.org. I'm Charles Keidan, editor of Alliance, the magazine which specializes in philanthropy.
(R-L) Ewa Kulik-Bielińska, Stefan Schäfers, Liana Varon, and Charles Keidan.
This is the second podcast in our new series of Alliance Audio, recorded live here from the European Foundation Centre's annual general assembly in Warsaw, Poland. In this podcast, we're exploring the complex relationship between philanthropy and solidarity.
We're asking how philanthropy can manage the strains between people and states across Europe. If solidarity means different things to different people, how can philanthropy help to build a shared humanity? To discuss the topic, I'm delighted to be joined by three philanthropy practitioners who have written about solidarity in the pages of Alliance. We have Ewa Kulik-Bielińska, first up, the director of the Stefan Battery foundation in Poland. Hello, Ewa.
Ewa: Hello, Charles.
Charles: And we're also joined by Stefan Shäfers, Head of European Affairs at Belgium's King Baudouin Foundation. Hello, Stefan.
Stefan: Hello, Charles.
Charles: And last but by no means least, we have Liana Varon, Deputy Secretary General of Tüsev, the association of Turkish foundations. Hello, Liana.
Liana: Hello, Charles.
Charles: Thank you. Great to have you all here and thank you for taking some time out during the conference events. Eva, if we could just start with you. You're chairing, as chair of the European Foundation Centre, this remarkable gathering of many tens, maybe hundreds of European foundations here in Warsaw. How's it going so far?
Ewa: I'm quite surprised by the numbers. When we were planning the conference in Warsaw, and the planning time is usually like two and a half [to] three years before the date, the situation in Poland was totally different. When the host committee was thinking of bringing different representatives of the philanthropy sector from Europe and all over the world, we had a feeling that we were so much to boast and so much to show and that there will be, you know, a great holiday for the civil society sector and foundation community here.
And, basically, we would rather say how others can learn from us and boast of achievements. The situation has changed in the past year. The civil society space in Poland has been shrinking. The government that was established after the Parliament elections is trying to hijack the whole concept of a civil society and discredit their organizations that have been working. Those activities are based on the European values, presenting them as that, if not for an agent, at least the organizations are working on the foreign agenda.
Badges distributed at the EFC conference in solidarity with civic space organisations under threat.
Charles: And the reaction to this has been quite visceral. I'm holding in my hand a badge that you just actually handed out to us all here, saying 'civil' with a heart on the front. What is this badge meant to demonstrate?
Ewa: In Hungary right now, there is a lot in the Parliament that is going to be probably adopted in two weeks' time to enforce the NGOs that are getting some funds from the foreign donors. Foreign donors, the donors that are active in Europe as foreign-funded organizations. This is that concept that is very similar to the concept of the foreign agents that was introduced in Russia. And this badge is saying 'I love civil. I love civic organizations.'
That's a gesture, that's a sign, a token of support to the civil society that is under pressure in Hungary. We are wearing this sign in solidarity with Hungary but also as a sign of solidarity with any kind of organizations, big organizations, which are right now being attacked by the governments who are seeing them as a threat because they are not supporting their basically anti-European agenda.
Charles: And that came across, actually, very clearly in your opening remarks to the conference and we'll come back to them. If I can now turn to Stefan – welcome, Stefan. You and I have spent some months, actually, and I know you spent many years beforehand at the King Baudouin foundation looking at issues of solidarity and populism. What stood out for you so far, either in the Alliance special feature you guest edited, or in the conference so far when looking at these issues?
Stefan: Well thank you, and it was a pleasure to co-edit this edition with you. Solidarity is a word we use on a daily basis but this whole exercise gave people the opportunity to think a bit more about 'What does it actually mean?' It's easily said, but it's much more difficult to actually implement solidarity. It has many more consequences and also unintended consequences that we don't think very much about.
So we use it and we used it here at the conference and I think it's very good that we bring the conference and the Alliance magazine kind of in line, topic-wise. It really is an opportunity to think deeper on this. It is important to show what solidarity means to society, how we as funders in the whole philanthropic world are actually working with solidarity and on solidarity and trying to foster solidarity. But, again, if you think of it deeper, solidarity is something that has a different connotation. People understand something different under solidarity; it's not that everybody has the same understanding. It's actually interesting if you look at the literature, which I would normally not do but in this case I did.
I realized that there is no real definition that is completely accepted by everybody. You have very different connotations. I found one interesting article that basically says it's like a lot of the key concepts in life, like love, that is easily talked about, but the moment you think about what it actually means concretely, you have very different answers. And I think in the Alliance magazine, by asking 10 [to] 15 of our colleagues, 'What does it mean to you?,' you see a future, right, of what solidarity means to people. So that's a very interesting thing, I thought.
Charles: Do you think that limits the usefulness for funders or do you think it actually creates a broader lens through which you might work?
Stefan: No, it doesn't. But I think we should think about it more carefully. What does it actually mean? Instead of using it all the time for something and because it sounds good and it sounds like something, you know, everybody wants to be in solidarity, but I think we also have to think of it further than that. We have to understand that people hear different things when they hear the word; it means something different.

It can also have a negative connotation when it's overused. It can be a moral stick, which is used by some groups very often and then it annoys the other side of the table and it can maybe lead to polarization, which we have discussed here very often inside the conference. But it also, solidarity always comes together with self-responsibility. I think it's two sides of a story.
You have solidarity but solidarity, if it is misused by people who request a lot of solidarity but don't give solidarity – there are limits of it. And it comes together with self-responsibility that you have to take care of your own life as much as you can and you cannot always look at others. You also have to think of your own responsibility you have for your own life. There are a lot of concepts around it, which I think we have to bring together. And that's what we do as funders, we do it all the time.
We don't just give all the time in one direction. We always think 'What does it mean?' 'How do we avoid dependencies of people?' 'How do we – how do we enable and empower people to make them more self-responsible?' So all this goes together when we fund. So solidarity, as such, is a concept, but it comes together with other concepts that we all have to bring alight.
Charles: Just one further question. You gave an example, I think in your essay for this special feature, about EPIM, the European Program on Integration and Migration, and a visit you took to Lesvos in Greece. Your expectation was to be funding refugees. But actually, EPIM made a grant to people from the island, who were living there, whose tourism was being affected. Does that illustrate your point?
Stefan: Yes. I think it – the story I wanted to say is that if you show solidarity to people, you also somehow respect that somehow people show solidarity –
Ewa: Because solidarity – I will help you – it requires reciprocity.
Stefan: Exactly.
Ewa: Solidarity doesn't work one way. You can be in love with somebody and he doesn't or she doesn't love you. But for love you also require both. And with solidarity it's basically this. I mean, there are probably many different notions, but we feel what it is. And I think it's good [to have] very different meanings, because then we can work on these very different meanings. And I cannot agree with one thing but solidarity can be a bad thing. It can be just a word that is overused and then it loses its meaning and it's empty.
Stefan: Exactly. Solidarity doesn't become a bad thing but it has unintended consequences, which can be bad.
Charles: Let's come back to that in a moment because that is an important issue but I would like to bring in Liana here from Tüsev in Turkey. Liana, what are your thoughts?
Liana: Actually, it's very difficult to process for now in Turkey because, you know, for the last year we have been under a state of emergency. Lots of organizations, foundations have been closed down. The politics are not going very well. There is a crackdown on civil society. We are not talking about enabling, let alone [an] open environment for civil societies.
So, at the same time, it's an interesting time to be talking about [and] thinking about politics, so I'm very happy that, this year, we are talking about politics in a more open way. And we're not only focusing on the negative side of it but also looking into solutions, looking into what we can do further about this and how we can tackle these issues. And when thinking about solidarity I was just thinking that, for me, solidarity comes with collective action. And probably this feeling, this identification of collective action, is because [of] the situation Turkey is in right now.
The need to push back the shrinking space for civil society is a rising concern for European philanthropy.
Because, at this point of time at the Association of Foundations, the best thing we can do is to start a collective action and civil society to strengthen civil society and to do that in a greater level, at an international level. Because it comes to a point where we're no longer about – no longer talking about space for civil society, we're talking about the values. We are talking about democracy. We are talking about how to move forward. I'm very happy to be here and I'm very happy to be talking about politics, European values at a greater level.
Charles: Do you think politics is almost like the elephant in the room that philanthropy doesn't always discuss, and we're finding here in Warsaw, where in Poland and in Hungary and indeed in Turkey there are these pressures that are being debated?
Liana: Yes. And to be very honest, I think that would be one of my criticisms to the former EFC conferences, because it feels like politics is always in the agenda, it's always in the room, but we always find, as foundations, ways to talk around it but never address the reality of the issue. And I think in that case, Turkey has been a bit left alone in that sense as well because, you know, you sometimes don't know is it part of the EU? Is it part of Europe? Do the values match?
But actually I think it's all very interconnected. I mean, what happens in Turkey sets an example for Bulgaria, for Poland as well because these hopeless leaders are following the steps of each other. So I think it's very good that – I think it's very brave that this week we have started talking about this in a more open manner. And I think this will be the starting point to take more action about this issue.
Charles: And is it your thoughts, Ewa, that what happens in Poland is affecting Hungary and vice versa and therefore having European foundations here debating these issues is very significant?
Ewa: I believe that Poland is basically following the Hungarian blueprint. Of course we have our idiosyncrasies because we are a different nation and the fact that Poland is a much more religious country than Hungary in terms of the influence of the church and people basically admitting that they are Catholics, it does play a different role.
Because the Catholic Church is really having a big impact on the way people vote, for example, and also the way how they identify themselves. So probably the problem we have more is national identity that the current government tries to revive is all based on religion. So being a Pole means being a Catholic. And being a Catholic means that you are against all these values on which the European Union was founded. Because suddenly it turns out [that the] European Union is founded not on the Christian tradition but it's founded on the tradition that is subverting Christian values.
I think that why we are talking about politics more right now is because during these last two years the civil society sphere has been highly politicized. The situations in which the political parties are playing a rather less important role in some of the countries because they became distressed by – the citizen elites were distressed. In Poland we have, for the first time in the history of Parliament, the populist party started by the rockstar having quite a big number of seats in the Parliament and still, in the public opinion polls, their popularity is raising.
Solidarity essential to solving the problems of the world?
The media are being more and more marginalized because the public media are taken over by the ruling party and they are turned into basically party propaganda. The people are looking to the civil society institutions for certain guidance, opinions, and suddenly the civil society institutions are under attack because they are like the last resort of independent thinking opinion.
Stefan: In all fairness – I see your point with the Catholic church in Poland but the founding fathers of the European Union have all been devout Catholics and their beliefs and also what they experienced in the totalitarian regimes they lived in has strongly influenced them to base the European Union on their value sets. So I'm not entirely sure that it doesn't go together, the European Union and the European values, with the Catholic Church. The question of how you define that –
Ewa: I say it does. It does, certainly it does. But what I'm saying is right-winged groups are saying that these are not Christian values.
Ewa: I totally agree with you. They support Christian values and even now when you look at the organizations that are active on gender issues and on race issues, on minorities, none of them are Christian-based organizations. But the way that the government wants to present them is that all these issues that are alien to their agenda are non-Christian and that the European Union is bringing all this kind of corrupt ideas that they want to introduce in the country to dilute us of our – water down our national identity.
Stefan: Exactly. So the narrative, I think, is so crucial here, how we present things and how we get to people that are currently leading maybe in Poland and in other countries towards that kind of narrative and interpretation of where we are back into the camp that is more representative, I guess, of the foundations here. And I think their foundations have a great role to play, to bridge these different narratives which are out there. Not selling them, but –
Charles: So let's talk specifically about the role foundations can play, Stefan. So, bridging is one important role. What would that involve?
Stefan: Absolutely. And I think that, in this polarized society, with the different narratives that are around, we see that especially the populists are very good in the narrative that they put on the table and they attract the anxious middle. And we, as foundations, we have to really focus on that. We have to focus on the anxious middle. We have to – it's not only about supporting the people that think like we anyway, it is about how can we reach out to that – how to this group, how can we create messages that are more inclusive, that are less of the otherness but more inclusiveness.
That we have a society with things we have in common. And there is a lot that funders already do on – we see a lot, I think, in the Alliance magazine that some of the contributors that look at these issues and try to define messages together with opinion polling. But also we do it with a new pact for Europe, for example, where we bring together people to discuss what are the narratives we have to present to people and what are the ideas that people are actually buying into, to get them again back away from the populist words to the center.
Charles: Do you think funders are doing enough of it? Let's, maybe, ask that question in a Turkish context. Liana, you've been agreeing with a lot of – nodding your head to a lot of what Ewa's been saying. Where you've seen a lot of these issues playing out in Turkey, are funders too cautious in Turkey?
Liana: Foundations are too cautious in Turkey. I mean, when you say funders, in our case I would look up to, you know, European Union. I would look up to organizations, American organizations, because grant making is not really the case for Turkish foundations. We are still in a more operational phase. We only have around 5-6 foundations that have current programs so foundations are being very careful.
Ankara, Turkey.
In a way it's understandable because it's very easy to be on the radar, it's very easy to be attacked by the government. So you find yourself censoring what you say. You find yourself not being very direct but finding different narratives to say something very clear. And, also, I think foundations in Turkey are not still taking the responsibility. Not realizing that, you know, any attacks on civil society are attacks on foundations and citizens as well.
Charles: So as an umbrella body, what can you do to actually help civil society or help encourage more philanthropy and foundations to be realizing their common cause between them and why the Turkish civil society?
Liana: Actually, what we try to do as an umbrella organization is to take that responsibility for our members. So we want them to use Tüsev as the vocal voice, as a voice talking about rights, as a voice talking about the situation in the country enabling our environment of the attacks on civil society.
So that's the strategy we've been using so far, rather than having – because it's quite obvious that our members are supporting us in what we do. But rather than them being in the front and taking this challenge, we try to be a more neutral partner where we are able to talk about these issues, and why try to do that. And the other thing I think is important [is that] when we talk about philanthropy, we tend to talk mostly about foundations.
But what we've been seeing in Turkey over the last period is that people, individual donors, are now starting to see giving as a tool for participation, as an engagement. So when you are not able to protest on the streets, when you are not able to demand political engagement in other ways, we've been seeing that many more people are now using giving as a tool to engage in politics, engage in supporting the causes they care about.
So I think that one thing is to focus on foundations and what they can do but also the other thing is to strengthen and to open up space for these people who are looking for ways to engage more and looking for safer ways to engage more. So it's – I think it's a growing strand in Turkey.
Stefan: What would you have expected from foreign, non-Turkish foundations of the sector to show solidarity towards you? What could that be?
Liana: To be really honest –
Stefan: Please.
Liana: I would have expected to not be talking about if Turkey is part of Europe at this point. I would have expected that, when so many organizations have been closed down, we could have created a joint voice, a similar act, which is very wonderful, we are doing right now for Hungary.
And I would have expected that – I think there are some tools that especially European foundations can work with, such as the EU-Turkey deal on Syrian refugees, you know. Because it has got to a point that Turkey is using, President Erdogan is using this as a tool to, I don't know how to express it in a good way but, it's basically threatening European countries with this –
Ewa: Blackmailing.
Liana: Yeah. So I think there's this role that we can all work together and we can join forces.
Charles: So let me put that question another way to Stefan and to Ewa. There's talk throughout the conference in Warsaw of a statement or declaration of solidarity amongst European foundations for Poland and Hungary and maybe even a fund for liberal democracies or to foster liberal democracies. Will those efforts – also bare in mind the Turkish situation – are they going to be or should they only be restricted to what's happening where we are here.
With many civil society organisation under threat, how will they move forward?
Ewa: The idea is we are European Foundation Centre, not EU foundation center. So the idea is to form an alliance of funders that would pool resources to help promote and support our organization as civil society actors that are threatened in Europe and to help sustain the civil society in these areas in which we are much under attack.
So Turkey is, of course, considered. Everything depends on who's going to be in the fund. We have a group quite considerable but still it's not the majority or not the – even half of the numbers. But we will leave this alliance open. It will depend on those who are going to join it, what priorities, what geography priorities and what, let's say thematic, priorities, will be a part of the fund.
Charles: And the statement of solidarity will reference Turkey.
Ewa: The statement of solidarity …yeah. Any society that is under pressure.
Charles: Well I'd like to give, I think time has been short and it's gone very quickly, but the final words – Stefan, it's been many months on thinking about these issues. What are your impressions, having worked on these issues, worked with a number of contributors from across Europe about solidarity? Where do you think philanthropy should go next?
Stefan: That's why I think it's great that so many of the contributors, and also here at the conference, we are so coherent on talking about solidarity and all the different facets and what it means and what it doesn't mean as one. So that's, I think, first, a great achievement of this because as I said, we talk easily about it without thinking much further [about] what it actually means.
I think there is a lot that foundations can do and I hope that this is a message that goes from this conference and it goes from the Alliance magazine, that foundations have a great role to play as an actor of solidarity but also as somebody who can bridge different understandings of solidarity where people have different understandings of it. It can also be – foundations can help in showing innovations, in showing what new ways of solidarities there are.
We are very often thinking in traditional ways but I think when it comes to the solidarity in society, when it comes to, for example, social protection systems, when it comes to austerity, and this is also touched on in some of the articles, we have to think differently and we have to see how we can bring solidarity into society and also preserve it in the future.
Because if you look at public spending, if you look at the way solidarity mechanisms in our society are built up through our social protection systems, there is a lot we can improve and foundations have a role to play there through research, through convening, through testing and piloting innovations. And there is a lot foundations can do and I hope that this message goes from this conference with the many sessions and panels that we have but also from the magazine that foundations should think carefully what to do and there is a lot we can do.
Charles: Well, thank you. And with that, Stefan Schäfers, Ewa Kulik-Bielińska and Liana Varon, thank you for your perspectives on this issue which we'll be continuing and returning to. And thank you for listening to the latest installment of Alliance Audio.
If you like what you heard, go to alliancemagazine.org to read more from our guests, gain news or views from philanthropy practitioners where you are.
And we'll be back in September to discuss our next special feature, philanthropy's diversity predicament: what should be done to ensure that the people who work in philanthropy reflect the communities they serve.
Until then, goodbye and thanks for listening.
The solidarity conversation continued well after the podcast recording.

Senate panel OKs increase in fishing, hunting licenses
By Associated Press Feb 11, 1998, 12:00am MST
Share All sharing options for: Senate panel OKs increase in fishing, hunting licenses
The state Senate Energy, Natural Resources and Agriculture Committee has endorsed a bill to increase fees for fishing and hunting licenses.
The bill would increase the cost of a fishing license by $2, a small game hunting license by $1 and a combination hunting and fishing license by $3. Anglers 65 and older would see a $1 increase.The habitat license each hunter or angler is required to purchase would increase 75 cents to $6 in 1999.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Michael Styler, R-Delta, already has passed the House.
If it passes, only Colorado and Nevada would have higher fishing license fees.
Styler said the increase would put $1.2 million into state fish hatcheries. Much of the money would be matched by federal dollars. He said this would be Utah's first license fee increase in four years.
Part of the small game increase would be put into a federally mandated program to survey migratory bird hunters each year. Another 50 cents would go toward planting pen-raised chukars and pheasants in Utah.
Much of the increase in the habitat license fee would go to paying for hunter and angler access on state school trust lands.

        cy.log(blah)
        cy.get('.inputBox').type(blah)
    })

It is reading the file fine, but it puts everything into 1 long string, where as I need the new lines to remain.
would using .split be the right way to go about it? is there an alternative?
The text file I'm using for this test is quite small and easy to manipulate but there will be tests coming up where the file is much larger or even a .xlsx

A: Did you try this?
cy.fixture('copy_pasta.txt').then(text => {
  cy.get('.panel-body').eq(0).clear().type(text)
        })

Here is fixture() documentation: https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/fixture

Q: Conditional click action prevention There is a <select> in my page that has some items, one of those items is "select...", the default one, with -1 value. There is also a button in the page that shows a modal window when user clicks on it. I want to prevent the modal window from being opened if <select>'s selected value is -1.
This works first time. When the user changes the selected item and click #triger it opens the modal window but when the selected item is changed to default and #trigger is being clicked it shows the modal window again.
$("#triger").on("click", function () {
    if ($("#ContactorDropDownList").val().toString() == "-1") {
        return false;
    }
});

Note: I'm using UIKit framework.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maysamsh/rLQDK/37/

A: You could manually show/hide the popup by first removing the data attribute:

and having your js like this:
$("#triger").on("click", function () {
    if ($("#ContactorDropDownList").val().toString() == "-1") {
        return false;
    }

    var modal = new $.UIkit.modal.Modal("#details");
    if (modal.isActive()) {
        modal.hide();
    } else {
        modal.show();
    }
});

Here is a demo fiddle.
