Seven vie for two seats on Seattle School Board in primary election

Education Lab is a Seattle Times project that spotlights promising approaches to persistent challenges in public education. The Seattle Foundation serves as fiscal sponsor for Education Lab, which is supported by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Comcast Washington and City University of Seattle. Learn more about Ed Lab.
The chaos, uncertainties and unknowns that parents, students and educators endured in Seattle the past school year are motivating candidates running for a seat on the board that governs Washington's largest school district.
Even by pandemic standards, Seattle had a difficult school year. Its former superintendent, Denise Juneau, decided not to seek to renew her contract because of a strained relationship with the School Board. One School Board member resigned from her post. A citizens group attempted to recall the entire board for failing to adequately plan for students' return to class. And parents were critical of Seattle Public Schools — one of the first urban districts in the country to go remote — for taking so long to bring kids back for in-person schooling.
There are two Seattle Public School seats on the ballot for the primary election, in districts 4 and 5. A total of seven people are campaigning.
Candidates spoke of the immediate need for improvements in communication between the district and families, and had ideas about what the district needs to invest in or change.
Primary ballots were mailed out in mid-July. The deadline to return them is Aug. 3.
District 4 candidates
Four people are running for the District 4 seat, including incumbent Erin Dury, who replaced former board member Eden Mack. Mack announced in January she would be stepping down, citing safety issues and underfunding. District 4 includes Queen Anne, Magnolia and Ballard.
Dury, a nonprofit organizer and business consultant, was appointed to replace Mack in March and says she's focused on making sure quality education is more accessible to marginalized students because the district hasn't prioritized them in the past.
"Running for School Board wasn't something I set out to do as a career path," Dury said. "It was an opportunity that was there that created a pathway where I could be more involved and give more of my time and energy."
Dury said it's important to her to listen to students because they are the most impacted by board decisions. She said her experience working with other school boards through her nonprofit work has given her a deep understanding of how government funds work.
Also running in District 4 is Vivian Song Maritz, who said her more than 15 years of experience in private sector finance and management will allow her to "dive into" School Board budgeting "in a way current School Board members may not be able to."
Song Maritz, who speaks Mandarin and has four children currently or soon to be in Seattle schools, said she can relate to and represent many first-generation students and community members.
"I am a daughter of working-class immigrants and when I started school, English was my second language," she said. "I was that little kid sitting in the back of a Chinese restaurant doing homework in between chopping vegetables."
Song Maritz said she would take a collaborative approach to solving problems, focus on making sure the school budget reflects the district's values and goals, improve translation services and communication between the schools and families, and work on transparency.
To run, Song Maritz said, she had to move into an apartment in District 4; she previously lived in District 3. She felt the urgency to move because "there's a lot of work ahead of us" after a year of remote learning. Song Maritz also said she's running because there is no Asian representation on the board even though Asian students are one of the largest populations of people of color.
"I acknowledge this takes economic privilege and it's not something everybody can do," she said.
District candidate Laura Marie Rivera said she has been an educator for 30 years in the public and private sector, where she's taught kindergarten, school programs at museums, and art education for adults and children. Rivera said she would focus on improving special education programs and treating students as individuals who "all have different needs, skills, wants, and issues."
Building partnerships with local, state and federal governments is one of Rivera's priorities, she said, because the School Board is not the only government entity making decisions that affect children.
"If we don't start working together better we're not going to get anywhere," Rivera said.
Rivera vowed to hold monthly community meetings citywide, meet one-on-one with parents, create space for the voices of students of color, and work to eliminate educational barriers for marginalized communities.
This primary election will be Herb Camet Jr.'s second time running for the District 4 seat; he lost to Eden Mack in the 2017 election. Camet says he has been an educator for more than 40 years in 11 countries, working as teacher, principal, a curriculum specialist and education consultant.
"The problem is the School Board is run by amateur volunteers part time," Camet said. "Because I'm retired I can be a full-time School Board member, not part time. My intent [is] to be an independent, nonpartisan, noncorporate candidate."
How eight UW men's runners got track world's attention in one race
Camet said he is committed to advancing academic achievement, and hiring more Black, Asian, Latino, and LGBTQ+ staff. (LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning, with the + denoting everything along the gender and sexuality spectrum.) He also supports reduction in class sizes, expansion of pre-kindergarten services, and a "full financial reauditing" of the district's programs, services and expenses.
There are three candidates running for District 5, which includes downtown, Capitol Hill, Chinatown International District, First Hill, Leschi, Madison and the Central Area. Board member Zachary DeWolf isn't running again. In April 2019, a little more than a year into his term, DeWolf announced his run for City Council.
Michelle Sarju, who works for King County as a maternal and child health project manager, said the pandemic has pushed her to run this year because students of color were the most affected.
If elected, Sarju said she will advocate for a plan to bring students back to in-person learning and invest in all students, "not just those students whose parents have discretionary time and income to invest."
Sarju, a midwife, said social, emotional and mental wellness are at the top of her list, and she wants every school to have at least one social worker. The board also needs to find a long-term superintendent, she said, because leadership turnover prevents SPS from achieving its goals. (In February, the board selected Brent Jones, a former district administrator, to serve as superintendent for one year as it conducts a broader search for a permanent replacement.)
Dan Harder, who ran as Republican for the state Senate in 2018, says he's campaigning on safety, excellence and equality. He said he's choosing to run because he thinks children are wrongly being taught that all social disparity is caused by intentional systemic racism.
"I think that's very bad and dark and divides communities and teaches kids everything important about them is race and their identity comes from race," Harder said.
Harder, who has worked at Boeing for 23 years, said if elected he would focus on high expectations for students, and make sure the school system "continues to foster equality though high quality education for everybody."
Crystal Liston says she was motivated to run after volunteering in schools and observing stark differences in resources available to each campus. She's been a yard duty supervisor, was a chaperone for SAT test-taking, and worked school art tables and at day-care centers. Liston also believes there's a lack of transparency around funding in SPS.
"When I say 'volunteer,' people tend to roll their eyes at me," she said. "People want me to have a business degree and I see the value in that but volunteering is huge. I'm donating my time and body to provide service."
Liston would focus on ending what she regards as a "white controlled curriculum" because she believes it's inaccurate and harmful to students. She would also prioritize improving transportation for students with disabilities. Liston said she thinks it's equally important to work on the ground with community members as well as with administrators.

5/When it comes to your psychic reader, you might have already found a psychic reader you have a good professional relationship with. If not, most telephone psychic companies have profiles on each of their psychic readers where you can see a bit more information about them and also see what other people who have had a psychic reading with them have said.
Your psychic reading can give you the chance to see if you are heading down the right track or if trouble is lurking around the corner. Psychics can reaffirm something you already know, or give you new insights and point of view. After your reading, you will have a greater sense of clarity and control over everything life has been sending your way.
Mediumship became quite popular in the 19th-century United States and the United Kingdom after the rise of Spiritualism as a religious movement. Modern Spiritualism is said to date from practices and lectures of the Fox sisters in New York State in 1848. The trance mediums Paschal Beverly Randolph and Emma Hardinge Britten were among the most celebrated lecturers and authors on the subject in the mid-19th century. Allan Kardec coined the term Spiritism around 1860.[12] Kardec claimed that conversations with spirits by selected mediums were the basis of his The Spirits' Book and later, his five-book collection, Spiritist Codification.
My first reading was via phone call—the ad said the psychic was offering free mini-readings. She asked for my full name and birthday and Emily's. I gave her the details and almost instantly, she told me Emily wanted me to know that she's in a good place and that she's watching over the family. She also wanted me to be happy too, but my happiness only seems to last temporarily (note: aren't all emotions temporary though?).
The British medium William Roy earned over £50,000 from his séance sitters. He confessed to fraud in 1958 revealing the microphone and trick-apparatus that he had used.[166] The automatic writings of the Irish medium Geraldine Cummins were analyzed by psychical researchers in the 1960s and they revealed that she worked as a cataloguer at the National Library of Ireland and took information from various books that would appear in her automatic writings about ancient history.[167]
So this was my first time having a reading. I came to make this decision after going through a very hard break up and not finding where else to go to look for advice and some help by looking toward to the future. Lyndsay is a very good friend of mine and with what she's doing i looked for her for help. Even tho she knows me so well, what her and her sprit had said to me came across on some things she wouldn't even say in a certain way way to me. I found it all helpful and by the end result I could use all info and use it to my best ability for the support I need. I would highly recommend Lyndsay and she came across at ease and very knowledgeable in what she knows and what her sprit tells her.
In many ways, having a psychic reading by telephone is less risky than having a psychic reading face to face. Any psychic who works using the telephone is regulated by an industry watchdog who insists on strict standards being upheld. Add to that knowing that you can have your money back if you aren't happy within five minutes and you can see why it's less of a risk to pick up the phone. And you can do it all from the comfort of your own sofa!
No doubt a great importance in the paranormal field is the problem of fraud. The field of psychic research and spiritualism has been so notoriously full of charlatans, such as the Fox sisters and Eusapia Palladino–individuals who claim to have special power and gifts but who are actually conjurers who have hoodwinked scientists and the public as well–that we have to be especially cautious about claims made on their behalf.[58]
Jean Pierre Allaire was counselling a 13-year old Trois Rivieres girl who reported seeing people that others could not. He told the girl she should go to the medium to find out whether she has a psychic gift. He also told her not to tell her psychiatrist about what she was seeing and hearing because that might lead to an increase in the anti-psychotic medications she was taking, which were making her sleepy.
"Mental mediumship" is communication of spirits with a medium by telepathy. The medium mentally "hears" (clairaudience), "sees" (clairvoyance), and/or feels (clairsentience) messages from spirits. Directly or with the help of a spirit guide, the medium passes the information on to the message's recipient(s). When a medium is doing a "reading" for a particular person, that person is known as the "sitter".
When I hired people to work for me as phone psychics 99% of those who applied were rubbish and knew it, they were just thinking about how to get paid to chat on the phone. Some were single mums looking for a way to get paid to chat whilst at home with a baby, others were old and not very healthy looking for an alternative to the cleaning job they have been doing for years. Up until then neither had any interest at all in being "psychic" and many of them also work for sex chat lines. Of course, they were turned down, but then they end up working for the very cheap services that find it very hard to get anyone and cannot be fussy.
ESP Net's online "guidance site" asserts that it is an "unrealistic expectation" for callers to assume psychics are psychic. But its contract is more ambiguous about occult powers. While it stated I could not claim a call was "anything more than entertainment," on the next page, awaiting my signature, was this sentence: "It is my personal feeling or understanding that I possess psychic or clairvoyant abilities." How could I sign this? Then I thought of my supernatural ability to read my husband's mind. Take the other morning when the dog, suffering from diarrhea, started whining at 4:45 a.m. I looked over at my husband, and despite the darkness I could see this sentence forming in his brain: "If I pretend I'm still asleep, she'll walk the dog." I signed.

Many 19th century mediums were discovered to be engaged in fraud.[61] While advocates of mediumship claim that their experiences are genuine, the Encyclopædia Britannica article on spiritualism notes in reference to a case in the 19th century that "...one by one, the Spiritualist mediums were discovered to be engaged in fraud, sometimes employing the techniques of stage magicians in their attempts to convince people of their clairvoyant powers." The article also notes that "the exposure of widespread fraud within the spiritualist movement severely damaged its reputation and pushed it to the fringes of society in the United States."[62]
"Hi Catharine, just wanted to give you an update on my last reading with you back in June. I'm always amazed at how accurate you are with descriptions of people coming into my life. In our session you mentioned there is a man with a shaved head and dark eyes will be helping me out with my career in 3D. Well a couple months later. I did my internship with an owner with that description. A week ago (a month after my internship was finished) he gave me a job offer! I will be making an appointment you again very soon for another reading 🙂
In 1970 two psychical researchers investigated the direct-voice medium Leslie Flint and found that all the "spirit" voices in his séance sounded exactly like himself and attributed his mediumship to "second-rate ventriloquism".[170] The medium Arthur Ford died leaving specific instructions that all of his files should be burned. In 1971 after his death, psychical researchers discovered his files but instead of burning them they were examined and discovered to be filled with obituaries, newspaper articles and other information, which enabled Ford to research his séance sitters backgrounds.[171]
Mina Crandon claimed to materialize a "spirit hand", but when examined by biologists the hand was discovered to be made from a piece of carved animal liver.[143] The German apport medium Heinrich Melzer was discovered to be a fraud in 1926. In a séance psychical researchers found that Melzer had small stones attached to the back of his ears by flesh coloured tape.[144] Psychical researchers who investigated the mediumship of Maria Silbert revealed that she used her feet and toes to move objects in the séance room.[145]
She asked for Emily's photo. I handed her my phone. She stared at the screen and told me to say Emily's full name and birthday, then looked up at me. My heart dropped—would my face betray something?—and immediately jumped back into my chest when she told me she could feel Emily's presence and that she was happy. In a new development, Emily had "passed on" and become my guardian angel.
In the later half of the 20th century, Western mediumship developed in two different ways. One type involved clairaudience or sensitives who hear spirit, and then relay what they hear to their clients.[29] The other incarnation of non-physical mediumship is a form of channeling in which the channeler goes into a trance, or "leaves their body", allowing a spirit entity to borrow their body, who then speaks through them.[30] When in a trance the medium appears to come under the control of the spirit of a departed soul, sometimes entering into a cataleptic state,[31] although modern channelers may not.[citation needed] Some channelers open the eyes when channeling, and remain able to walk and behave normally. The rhythm and the intonation of the voice may also change completely.
Magnetic stripe technology, usually called mag-stripe, is so named because of the stripe of magnetic oxide tape that is laminated on a card. There are three tracks of data on the magnetic stripe. Typically the data on each of the tracks follows a specific encoding standard, but it is possible to encode any format on any track. A mag-stripe card is cheap compared to other card technologies and is easy to program. The magnetic stripe holds more data than a barcode can in the same space. While a mag-stripe is more difficult to generate than a bar code, the technology for reading and encoding data on a mag-stripe is widespread and easy to acquire. Magnetic stripe technology is also susceptible to misreads, card wear, and data corruption. These cards are also susceptible to some forms of skimming where external devices are placed over the reader to intercept the data read.
People who are seeking advice when it comes to their careers often find it helpful to speak to clairvoyant psychics. A clairvoyant reader can use his or her gifts to tap into an informative vision of a person, place or object that can help you advance in your career, obtain a new position or even change career direction. You can use this vision to prepare yourself or focus your energies on the best possible outcome.
to tune in. Think of it as surfing for radio stations using a dial. The prayer works hand in hand with the energy. The data in the Akashic Information will help us understand our past, immediate present, and future. By accessing the Akashic data, we establish and discharge something that we have now designed, that has grown to be a block to our existing realization of our oneness with God.
3/When you've got really clear about what you want to know, you need to choose a company that offers telephone psychic readings.  There are quite a few around these days, so how do you go about choosing the telephone psychic reading company that is right for you?  This might be where you decide to do a bit of research around different telephone psychic companies to see which ones are reputable and trustworthy.
In the 1860s and 1870s, trance mediums were very popular. Spiritualism generally attracted female adherents, many who had strong interests in social justice. Many trance mediums delivered passionate speeches on abolitionism, temperance, and women's suffrage.[22] Scholars have described Leonora Piper as one of the most famous trance mediums in the history of Spiritualism.[5][23][24]
4/Along with anything else that you might look at, I think how you are treated on reception gives you a huge clue. If a telephone psychic reading company is reputable, you can have an informal chat about what kind of psychic reading is right for you and which reader might suit you without ever feeling under pressure to go ahead and have a psychic reading.
No, the psychic said, because it had been her time. Throughout the eight-minute reading, she repeatedly told me Emily's death was meant to be. Emily was sad that she left me behind, but she's in a positive place now and is the reason why I feel a presence around my house (it's her watching over me and I should try talking to her). I also learned that after death, souls hang around Earth for six weeks which is why I dreamt of Emily a lot right after she died.
After two months of me sending and resending my contract and ESP Net misplacing it, the psychic hot line announced via e-mail that it was accepting me as a reader, pending a phone interview. (Chakra Con had stopped communicating with me altogether.) The contract had warned that I had to be "tested extensively"—at least five sample readings before I would get my own log-in number. I spent another week leaving voice mail messages trying to schedule my first test when "Sandy," the manager of ESP Net, called me back. As soon as she spoke, I sensed an aura around her of a person who had smoked one or maybe two hundred thousand cigarettes. " 'Debbie' normally does the interview to see if you're serious," Sandy said. "But she's had family problems, so you're not going to get a call from her. We've been short-handed, so log on as soon as you can. It's been particularly thin in the mornings from 8 to noon, so if you can work mornings, that's good. Any questions?"

I hear that... so myself and a couple friends are at the bar for Tuesday night bar night. A certain guy exchanges some chit chat with us and basically tries to impress us with how much he's making a year etc... then he reminds us not to get married... he's apparently going through a messy divorce yada... yada... basically this guy is looking for a challenge but wants to prove he's superior to us in some way to validate his own existence. The situation escalates and he asks pschoonveld if he wants to take this outside. Obviously we aren't fond of partaking in fights for no apparent reason so he tries to calm the situation. We pick up and leave. Our newly made friend asks me if we want him to follow us out back. I say he's fine right where he is. We go outside to our cars... eventually this guy comes out. Apologizes for being an asshole, and thanks us for being so calm-headed... however he turns the situation around by saying that even though there are 5 of us he isn't the guy to mess with. He's being apologetic but trying to turn it into a confrontation at the same time. We basically try to keep the situation as calm as possible.
The point being a gun gives you range and a knife increases your deadliness. However if a situation like this transpires the only time you can use a gun in so called self-defense is when he's near by... same with a knife but if there's a struggle those could end up in anyone's hands... ah Catch-22's... Note to self... look at upgrading that yellow-belt in Karate... although legally having that does make me an "expert" legally when it comes to fighting and makes me increasingly liable to be sued should I mess someone up without just cause.

lengthy missive condensed:
what an asshole. still, sometimes it seems like there's more of them than of us. avoiding bad situations is an awfully good skill to have (even if you know you could take a guy, no prob). i've talked my way out of a potential disaster before -- i think if i had weapons, i'd be tempted to use them. case in point: somewhat recent story here in CA, nice man with family is asleep when house is broken into by burglars with guns. nice man has gun to protect himself and his family. In the firefight that follows, he kills a burglar but is killed himself, and wife is injured as well. (Worth saving his possessions from theft? I really don't think so)
Maybe the best protection is to forgo material wealth, avoid drunken clods, and always use the buddy system.

No Jeffa, no one is still reading this poll. *grin*
Though to answer the poll many months too late, I don't have a gun, but I've fired before. I was a decent shot. Don't knwo if I could ever fire any anything alive. Guess that makes me a wimp. Who cares. It was fun to shoot, but not worth the major hassle in the state I live to get a permit.

My view of fights are: "Somebody is going to get hurt which makes it worth avoiding."
On upgrading your belt: Better control at higher levels. My worst injuries were from Yellow and Orange Belts
Of course the last time anyone even thought of fighting me, I was in a VW bug and he was in a Corvette. (He had parked in front of the doors of the convience store which made my manuever to get in a real space interesting.) I got out of the bug, he saw my 6'8" frame, got back in his car and drove off. I then got my Slurpee in peace.
Not one of my finer moments, but I had had enough crap from work that day. I like to think I'm better at defusing situations since then. (I've also gone from Orange to Green Belt since then. Need to buckle down and get my Brown, it's been too long)
p.s. I was just checking out previous polls

Home/Europe, Federalism, Views from the Federal Trust/The German Constitutional Court Decision on PSPP
The German Constitutional Court Decision on PSPP
Article Published June 4th, 2020
By Dr Michael Lloyd
Senior Research Fellow, Global Policy Institute
Media commentators' concern over the German Constitutional Court (BVG) ruling on the European Central Bank's (ECB) Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) appears to have been replaced by concerns over the consideration by the Bank of England over the potential introduction of negative interest rates, another of the ECB's monetary policy instruments. However, the implications of the BVG ruling are potentially highly significant. Now that the partial hysteria about the decision (e.g. reflected in Martin Woolf's FT article) appears to have subsided, it seems useful to review the importance of the decision.
For the British – unused to public discussion of constitutional issues, until the ruling last year on the unlawful prorogation of Parliament – it may come as a shock that the constitutional legality of the ECB programme does matter to Germans, even if, as in the UK, we only have an uncodified set of legal acts and historic conventions.
The BVG is not challenging the competence of the CJEU to rule on the ECB legal action, only claiming that it failed to take the constitutional principle of 'proportionality' sufficiently into account when it did so, and failed to provide sufficient evidence in justification of its ruling. The CJEU ruling simply stated that:
"It does not appear that the ESCB's specification of the objective of maintaining price stability as the maintenance of inflation rates at levels below, but close to, 2% over the medium term, is vitiated by a manifest error of assessment and goes beyond the framework established by the EU Treaties."
And again "the PSPP programme, in its underlying principle, does not manifestly go beyond what is necessary to raise inflation rates"
The use of the word manifest here is another way of saying that 'this is so obvious that we do not need to spell out why we consider it so', i.e. something a student might state when they do not know the answer to a question. The BVG objected, correctly in my view, to this sweeping assessment without any published evidence to back it up.
The constitutional test applied by BVG, for whether a secondary legal action is 'proportionate' is whether it: a) has a legitimate purpose b) has to be necessary c) has to be suitable, d) has to achieve its purpose by striking a proper balance between the competing legal objectives. Effectively any adjudication has to involve a socio-economic cost-benefit impact analysis in the same way which the Commission does prior to submission of legislation. It is not clear whether the ESCB and/or the CJEU did so, before the ECB action, or the CJEU ruling, in relation to PSPP. BVG appears to think not and there is no published written evidence that it was done. Without such detail, the BVG suspects that 'mission creep' has led the ECB to take significant measures which may challenge national competences and prejudice individual democratic rights. In effect, the BVG ruling requests reassurance from the CJEU, though its 'request' was couched in somewhat aggressive terms!
It should be noted that the BVG justification for raising the question of ultra vires is only possible 'if the act of EU law in question is first 'manifestly in violation of competences' and secondly 'structurally significant', i.e. 'highly significant in the structure of competences between the Member States and the Union with regard to the principle of conferral and to the binding nature of the statute under the rule of law'. The term 'conferral' is important because, via the Treaties, powers are conferred on the EU not transferred. (N.B. It should also be noted that, in the current case challenge, the BVG accepted the other CJEU ruling that the ESCB purchase of bonds on the secondary market did not constitute monetary financing).
More generally, the BVG maintains that the EU is a confederation and that there is an inherent danger in pursuing too aggressively further integration without Treaty change. It should be noted that Article 4(2) TEU obliges the European Union to respect the national identities of the Member States inherent in their fundamental political and constitutional structures. Given the confederal nature of the EU, it is difficult to see how this can be done democratically or constitutionally, without the intervention of ultimately national courts interpreting their own national constitutions.
National constitutional courts are, in the current developing state of the EU, effectively the only bulwark against unwitting abuse of the democratic potential of the EU. This situation will obtain until the European Parliament and the political parties therein begin genuinely to address, effectively, the concerns of EU citizens as members of an EU polity, and there is the development of an EU demos. In reference to the PSPP case it would have been useful for the European Parliament to have requested the above socio-economic cost-benefit analysis. From now on these issues should not simply be a matter for jurists to address, whether at national or at EU level.
The BVG is not trying to bring down the whole edifice of the EU. It is a well-reasoned judgment in the main, if overlong and not especially economically literate. The idiosyncratic nature of some of the specific characteristics of the German constitution are evident. One of which amplifies the point that BVG is not seeking to 'bring the house down': namely the reference to the use of Article 23 of the German Basic Law to open the German state to European integration and European law. There are, however, questions as to how BVG interprets this openness, including reserving the right to not only review EU law against the national constitution, but also to review the consistency of secondary law with primary EU law. This latter claim is at least challengeable.
On the specific PSPP issue it may be possible to reach a compromise, by carefully defining the proportionality of the PSPP. However, the ECB will have to take care in not pushing monetary policy too far into becoming an overtly fiscal policy. This may be problematic.
The judgement has made it clear, as GPI has argued previously, that further integration can only take place via treaty change. Full integration – a Federal EU – is some years away. For Germany, this would entail the convening of a Constitutional Assembly to amend the Basic Law, probably followed by a referendum. In this regard Germany would be in line with all other EU Member States. The position taken by the BVG is not so exceptional after all, just clearer about how to achieve change, both in constitutional terms and democratically.

Farewell to freedom of movement


From the novel by two-time Bram Stoker Award finalist Michael Laimo, Dead Souls draws you into a harrowing world of family secrets and ancient evils. An original production from Chiller, this relentlessly creepy film delivers unexpected twists and turns and will keep you riveted to your seat.
On his 18th birthday, Johnny Petrie learns he was adopted when he inherits a farm in Maine. Eager for a new life, he leaves home to start over in this "new" dwelling. But soon he learns that the farm, abandoned for the 18 years since his natural family died, has a horrifying history. As he digs into his past, he discovers the grisly details of his family's deaths, and the questionable teachings of his father, who'd been the local preacher. He also discovers that decades-old forces trapped in the home have revived…and set into motion a heart-stopping ritual prompted by his return to the fold!
Dead Souls stars Jesse James (The Amityville Horror, The Flyboys), Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Devil's Rejects, House of 1,000 Corpses), Magda Apanowicz (Kyle XY), Noah Fleiss (Brick), Jaiden Kaine (Hellbenders) and Geraldine Hughes (Rocky Balboa, Gran Torino).

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal"  id="guardarnuevo" >
        Agregar
        </button>

Funcion JS :
function agregardatos(nombre,cliente,dv,email,sucursal,comuna_id,edad) {
    cadena = "nombre=" + nombre + "&cliente=" + cliente +   "&dv=" + dv + "&email=" + email + "&sucursal=" + sucursal+ "&comuna_id=" + comuna_id + "&edad=" + edad;
    $.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:"php/agregarDatos.php",
        data:cadena,
        success:function(r){
            if (r==1){
                $('#tabla').load('componentes/tabla.php');
                $('#buscador').load('componentes/buscador.php');
                alertify.success("agregado con exito :)");
            } else {
                alertify.error("Datos NO guardados" + cadena);
            }
        }
    });
}

A: si lo quieres hacer con javascript lo puedes hacer con algo así...
function agregardatos() {
var nombre = $('#nombre').val();
var cliente = $('#rut').val();
var dv = $('#dv').val();
var email = $('#email').val();
var sucursal = $('#sucursal').val();
var comuna = $('#comuna').val();
var edad = $('#edad').val();

if(nombre ==='' || cliente === '' || dv === '' ||email === '' ||sucursal === '' || comuna_id === '' || edad === '' )
{
    alert('Error debe completar todos los datos');
}
else
{
        var cadena = "nombre=" + nombre + "&cliente=" + cliente +   "&dv=" + dv + "&email=" + email + "&sucursal=" + sucursal+ "&comuna_id=" + comuna_id + "&edad=" + edad;
$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url:"php/agregarDatos.php",
    data:cadena,
    success:function(r){
        if (r==1){
            $('#tabla').load('componentes/tabla.php');
            $('#buscador').load('componentes/buscador.php');
            alertify.success("agregado con exito :)");
        } else {
            alertify.error("Datos NO guardados" + cadena);
        }
    }
});
}

}
Además debes veo que en el botón del modal no estas llamando a la función, por lo que deberías agregarle algo así:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal"  id="guardarnuevo" onclick="agregardatos()">
    Agregar
    </button>

A: Agrega esta función, la cual te ayuda a checar si el input esta vacío:
function campoVacio(obj){
    var correcto = true;
    if(obj.val()==''){
        obj.addClass("error-input");
        correcto = false;
    }else{
        obj.removeClass("error-input")
    }
    return correcto;
};

Agrega un pequeño css, para la clase del error en este caso. Mas o menos algo como lo siguiente:
.error-input{
    border: thin solid #d9534f;
}

Ahora para usarlo es de la siguiente manera, tomando en cuenta tu js:
function agregardatos(nombre,cliente,dv,email,sucursal,comuna_id,edad) {

  var correcto = true;
  if(!campoVacio($('#id_inputNombre')))
     correcto = false;
  if(!campoVacio($('#id_inputCliente')))
     correcto = false;
  if(!campoVacio($('#id_inputEmail')))
     correcto = false;
  etc...

  if(correcto){
    cadena = "nombre=" + nombre + "&cliente=" + cliente +   "&dv=" + dv + "&email=" + email + "&sucursal=" + sucursal+ "&comuna_id=" + comuna_id + "&edad=" + edad;
    $.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:"php/agregarDatos.php",
        data:cadena,
        success:function(r){
            if (r==1){
                $('#tabla').load('componentes/tabla.php');
                $('#buscador').load('componentes/buscador.php');
                alertify.success("agregado con exito :)");
            } else {
                alertify.error("Datos NO guardados" + cadena);
            }
        }
    });
  }
}

Espero te sirva. Saludos.

text:
With regard to tracking context for the purpose of automatic paragraph
detection.<p>

## Element Contexts

Each element establishes a context that determines what we can expect,
and what we do with it.

### OPAQUE Context

Tags that seldom or never contain paragraphable prose define the
OPAQUE context.  The `head` tag has the OPAQUE context.  Such elements
are copied to the output in their entirety unchanged.  The following
tags define an OPAQUE context.

* applet/
* audio/
* area
* base
* basefont
* button/
* canvas
* col
* colgroup/
* datalist/
* embed
* head/
* hr/
* iframe/
* img
* input
* keygen
* link
* map/
* menu/
* menuitem/
* meta
* object/
* optgroup/
* option/
* output/
* param
* pre/
* progress/
* rp/
* rt/
* ruby/
* script/
* select/
* source
* style/
* textarea/
* title/
* track
* video/

### STRUCTURAL Context

The STRUCTURAL context is set by tags that should only contain other
element, e.g., `table`.  All prose should be within child elements.  In
the STRUCTURAL context, text blocks are copied to the output unchanged.

The following tags introduce STRUCTURAL context:

* dir/
* dl/
* fieldset/
* frameset/
* html/
* nav/
* ol/
* table/
* tbody/
* tfoot/
* thead/
* tr/
* ul/

### TEXTONLY Context

In the TEXTONLY context, the input can contain text blocks and prose
tags; the enclosing element implicitly encloses a single paragraph.
No other tags are allowed, and blank lines have no special
meaning.  The following tags introduce TEXTONLY context:

* caption/
* dt/
* figcaption/
* h1/
* h2/
* h3/
* h4/
* h5/
* h6/
* label/
* legend/
* summary/

### PARAGRAPH Context

In PARAGRAPH context we are in a paragraph and need to close the paragraph
at the next blank line or non-prose tag.  On blank line, we immediately
open a new paragraph.

We enter PARAGRAPH context at the first non-whitespace text block
or explicit `p` tag in BLOCK or TEXTBLOCK context.

### BLOCK Context

The BLOCK context is set at the beginning of the input, by the `body` tag,
and by any other tag that can contain any mixture of paragraphs
and structural elements (e.g., `section`).

In BLOCK context we accept any tag, and text blocks.  The tags
introduce the contexts they introduce.  Non-whitespace text blocks
cause the insertion of a `p` tag and a transition to PARAGRAPH context.

The following tags introduce the BLOCK context (possibly, some should
be TEXTBLOCK context):

* Beginning of input
* article/
* aside/
* body/
* details/
* dialog/
* figure/
* footer/
* form/
* frame/
* main/
* noframes/
* noscript/
* section/

### TEXTBLOCK Context

The TEXTBLOCK context is set by tags that can contain any context but
usually consist of one paragraph's worth of text.  If the input proves
to contain non-prose tags or more than one paragraph of text, context
switches to BLOCK context instead, and we enter the context for the
thing we found.

The following tags introduce the TEXTBLOCK context:

* blockquote/
* center/
* dd/
* div/
* li/
* td/
* th/

## Prose Tags

The following tags can be used in TEXTONLY and PARAGRAPH context
without terminating the context, and can also start a new paragraph
in BLOCK context.  They have no context of their own.

* a/
* abbr/
* acronym/
* address/
* b/
* bdi/
* bdo/
* big/
* br
* cite/
* code/
* del/
* dfn/
* em/
* font/
* i/
* ins/
* kbd/
* mark/
* meter/
* q/
* s/
* samp/
* small/
* span/
* strike/
* strong/
* sub/
* sup/
* time/
* tt/
* u/
* var/
* wbr

After years of declining ridership, Capital Metro reported six of the last seven months in 2018 saw positive gains in the number of riders on its services systemwide. (Amy Denney/Community Impact Newspaper)
By Amy Denney | 10:57 am Jan. 23, 2019 CDT Jan 23, 2019 | Updated 11:00 am Jan. 23, 2019 CDT
After years of decline, ridership on Capital Metro's transit services is starting to trend upward, according to the latest numbers released in mid-January.
In December, systemwide ridership on bus and rail services increased by 5.4 percent compared to December 2017, a number that is noteworthy given the drop in gas prices and more inclement weather days, said Todd Hemingson, the agency's senior vice president of planning and development.
"If you would have looked at all those things and guessed what ridership would have done, you would have thought it would be flat or gone down," Hemingson said.
Across the board, ridership increased in nearly every type of service, including on Capital Metro's fixed bus route system, which increased by 2.8 percent in December compared to December 2017.
Hemingson attributes the change in trajectory of Capital Metro's ridership to Cap Remap, the systemwide overhaul of transit services that occurred in June. For Cap Remap, the agency eliminated underperforming routes, added new and more frequent service, rerouted some routes and tweaked the schedules of other routes.
"We started 2018 in the first five months in a row we had less ridership in 2018 than we did in 2017," he said. "From June to December we had six of the seven months where ridership increased from the prior year. Only September was down slightly relative to 2017."
Two services that have continued to exceed expectations include MetroRapid, which saw a 17.3 percent increase in ridership in December compared to December 2017, and MetroExpress, the commuter bus service.
Ridership on the Express service increased by 27.4 percent in December compared to December 2017 and was up 32.4 percent in June-December 2018. In January 2018, Capital Metro expanded the number of Express bus routes and trips on existing routes as well as rerouted the routes to the new MoPac express toll lanes, resulting in faster service, Hemingson said.
Weekend bus service also is on the rise, Hemingson said, due to Capital Metro growing its network of frequent bus routes that operate about every 15 minutes. For Cap Remap, the agency expanded the number of routes in the service to 14 and extended the hours to every day.
Leander City Council did not go forward with hiring an attorney for legal services regarding the possibility of withdrawing from... >
"We've seen a huge boom in weekend ridership, which has been good because people don't just work 9-5, Monday through Friday anymore," he said.
Capital Metro also made minor tweaks Jan. 6 to several routes based on customer feedback from Cap Remap. A full report on the first six months of Cap Remap will be presented to the Capital Metro board at the Feb. 25 meeting. Hemingson said the one-year analysis of Cap Remap will be released in late summer.

I get so sick of being stuck behind the buses going up and down lamar or burnet…just a soon as ya pass one, there's another one tying up a lane…Why they don't have pull off lanes is beyond me……
Carl 1:18 pm Jan 24, 2019
YAY! Go CapMetro!
James 8:10 am Jan 25, 2019
Buses that pull off often have a hard time getting back in. If you're concerned about not getting stuck behind buses at stops, a better option is dedicated transit lanes.
Neil Feiereisel 5:40 pm Jan 23, 2019
I wonder what the population increase was for the Austin area for 2018. That might account for most of the gains.
Novacek 3:30 pm Jan 24, 2019
Neil, you say that like population increase is a force for increased ridership. Most likely, it's the opposite (and is probably one of the major factors in CapMetro's years-long decrease).
Even if Austin had a higher transit mode share of like 10% (and it doesn't), tens of thousands of additional Austinites each year would be tens of thousands of additional SOV drivers. Each increasing the congestion on Austin's roads, slowing down transit, perversely making it less competitive with driving, and acting to depress transit ridership.
The fact that CM is seeing ridership gains while dealing with so many more drivers (probably 99% of the population growth, if not more) makes it _more_ impressive, not less.

Q: How to set a fixed position of my elements in my case I am trying to set elements stay on the edge of left and right hand side of the screen no matter what device or screen size is.
I am using bootstrap and have something like
left button

right button

My css is like
#prev{
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    left: 0%;
}

#next{
    position: fixed;
   top: 50%;
    left: 95%;
}

I want something like
left button(edge of screen)                           right button(edge of screen)

Left button seems fine but my problem is right button.
My css only works for certain screen size but not all. Can someone help me to solve this issue? Thanks a lot!

A: Try setting the right property:
#prev{
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    left: 0;
}

#next{
    position: fixed;
   top: 50%;
    right: 0;
}

JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6gw3K/

A: Use right: 0 for #next
#prev{
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    left: 0;
}

#next{
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    right: 0;
}

A: Assuming that position fixed is not a hard requirement, you might look into using floating. E.g.:
#pref{ float:left; }
#next{ float: right; }

See this jsfiddle.

Short-haul carriers petition FMCSA for exemption from ELD mandate
Matt Cole
The Pipe Line Contractors Association and MBI Energy Services have requested exemptions from the electronic logging device mandate.
An association representing the pipeline construction industry – including truck drivers who contract to haul equipment for pipeline construction projects – and a specialized equipment fleet are seeking exemptions from the electronic logging device mandate set to take effect on Dec. 18.
The Pipe Line Contractors Association (PLCA) is requesting the exemption for all pipeline contractor vehicle drivers, stating the drivers typically utilize the short-haul exemption to logging regulations, but they sometimes exceed the short-haul exemption of more than eight days in a 30-day period, requiring them to use ELDs. The group says the drivers would still be required to keep paper logs if the exemption is granted.
PLCA says the drivers primarily operate flatbed trucks off of public roads in a pipeline right-of-way. The group adds that ELDs do not offer a safety benefit for pipeline drivers because they are rarely on public roads. The exemption request states the drivers "almost always" operate within a 100-mile radius and meet the requirements for the short-haul exemption, but may not return to the work-reporting site within 12 hours, as the short-haul exemption requires.
Additionally, MBI Energy Services, a water service hauling fleet in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Colorado, is requesting the exemption for its vehicles equipped with single-passenger cabs that are used in applications where travel is rare. MBI adds these trucks require oversize/overweight permits to operate on public roads and are typically only used in remote areas and not on highways.
Because the trucks are single-passenger cabs, the fleet says space is limited, and installing an ELD would reduce driver visibility. The company also says the severe duty nature of its work would require rugged units and installation. MBI says even though the vehicles travel very little, business demand may require them to move more often than eight days in a 30-day period, which would require them to use ELDs. The company adds that, if granted the exemption, its drivers would continue to keep paper logs.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is seeking public comment on both exemption requests. The request from the PLCA can be found here, while MBI's request can be found here. The comment period for each request will be open until Aug. 9.

Kenya earned reprieve Tuesday following their six wickets win over neighbours and rivals Uganda in the ongoing ICC World Cricket League Div 3 qualifiers in Oman.
Irfan Karim's half ton ensured he was named man of the match in a diligent inning, which saw Kenyans survive despite losing its top batting order.
Karim (59 off 118 balls) shone at the crease after coming at number four and stabilising the Kenyans' ship with a contribution that included match-high seven boundaries.
The Ugandans had earlier won the toss and selected to bat with 27 year old left handerDinesh Magan Nakrani (50 off 71 balls) leading their charge for a score total of 177/9 at close in their allotted 50 overs.
Team Kenya, who had lost the first two matches against hosts Oman and group leaders USA, had to dig in against their worthy opponents who are fourth on the standings on two points.
Indeed the opening innings was the ultimate defining moment for Kenya skippered by Dhiren Gondaria. Inside 37 balls, the Kenyan re-arranged speed bowling attack of Lucas Oluoch and Emmanuel Bundi had already fell the deadly Ugandan pair at the wicket led by Roger Mukasa (11 off 14 balls) and Arnold Otwani who was restricted to a run score of 6/23 on the board.
Nehemiah Odhiambo was excellent in checking the run rate in overall for the Kenyans while Karim's batting calculations was just about right for game number three for Kenya who want a promotion back to Division Two status. Wicketkeeper Karim combined for three wicket falls before the break; with the glorious stump on Ugandan batsman Ronak Patel starring.
At the end, Kenya had to just keep the glue together with the partnership of Odhiambo and Karim holding out diligently for the remaining five and a half overs. Shem Ngoche was also potent with 2/13 that added gloss to Kenya's performance.

Thanksgiving – A Time to be Thankful for a Culture that Supports Entrepreneurship
by Michael Houlihan & Bonnie Harvey | Business Blog, Education, Lifestyle Blog, Political | 0 comments
We have so much to be thankful for in the United States, and Thanksgiving Day is the perfect time to express our gratitude. The economy appears to be improving, employment seems to be on the upsurge and home values have been on the rise. But there is something else, something that promises to sustain our economy, something unique about us as Americans, for which we all should be thankful. It's our culture that encourages and supports new businesses to get off the ground and survive.
These new businesses create new jobs, improve our standard of living and extend our very lives. The products and services they provide can be seen all over the world. Other cultures want to know what is it about those Americans that keeps them innovating and improving our world. The answer is it's our culture of entrepreneurship!
Television shows like Shark Tank and movies like The Social Network celebrate entrepreneurial success. Publications like Entrepreneur, Inc., Fast Company and Forbes keep us on top of the latest real-life challenges and victories of entrepreneurs. Just in the past decade we have seen an explosion in secondary education as school after school focuses on entrepreneurship. Start-up hubs, launch pads and innovation centers are blossoming in every city throughout our great country.
Young people growing up in our society admire entrepreneurship and recognize it as a valid alternative to employment. Many are encouraged to think out of the box and to start their own ventures. Contrast that with the skeptical attitude exhibited in other parts of the world where people are actively discouraged from starting their own businesses.
In those societies, entrepreneurs are seen as people who couldn't hold down a good job, people who had to seek an alternative means of support, people who took needless risks, and people who failed. They are seen as giving up "all that security" to pursue a sketchy proposition. Failure is seen in many countries as a scar for life, as a situation from which there is no recovery. These people are disrespected and perceived as an embarrassment to their friends and family.
For us, people who take risks are seen as courageous. They mitigate their challenges with imagination, innovation, hard work and tenacity. For us, failure is just a pit stop upon the road to success. When setbacks occur, we cheer entrepreneurs on while other cultures may say, "You are making a big mistake!" We encourage them to pick up the pieces, keep on trying, and when they do succeed, we say, "We knew you could do it!"
Thanksgiving Day is a classic American holiday where we as a nation take the time to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for. Our culture of support for the entrepreneurial spirit that makes our quality of life possible is also classically American. This year let's take a moment to appreciate this culture and recommit ourselves to fully support aspiring, struggling, and successful entrepreneurs. It is our support and belief in their success that keeps them going to the benefit of us all. It is their success that creates new jobs, products and services, and helps to keep our country strong. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
It is estimated that at least three billion people watched "the Royal wedding" last weekend. That means that through the miracle of satellite communications, close to half of the world's population was in attendance. Only a very few were required to wear silly hats, ridiculously uncomfortable shoes, or fancy suits. Personally, I did not "attend."
I did, however, after the fact, locate and watch with great interest the homily delivered by Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry. I regard weddings as an opportunity to preach The Good News to a gathering of folks, many, if not most of whom are irregular church-goers or even nonbelievers. I was anxious to see how this preacher would take advantage of this opportunity to bring about conversions as he broke open The Word of God, to almost half of humankind. Since it was "Pentecost weekend," I was excited that people around the world would be hearing The Good News broadcast to them in their own language as their local news translated whatever Bishop Curry had to offer. The occasion offered a real possibility for a 21st Century Pentecost.
The first thing that I took special note of was that he began with The Sign of The Cross. While this gesture is typical to Roman Catholics, it is the Baptismal formula by which all Christians begin their faith life here on earth. When we sign ourselves, we are expressing our hope that after death, in Eternal Light, we will be given a share in this indivisible union of love that is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What I did not see is how many people in the congregation took the cue and signed themselves.
Certainly, the non-Christians would not have. While other world religions acknowledge the existence of The Creator, they are not aware of the Divine quality of "Three-ness"…the belief that God is an invisible Trinity of Persons. From the very beginning, however, this revealed truth has been part of the deposit of faith that Jesus entrusted to the Apostles. Drawing from the Gospel accounts, the Blessed Trinity was part of the preaching, teaching, and prayer life of the early Church. St. Paul employed the concept of Triune God in his greeting to the Corinthian Community, one that we still use at Mass to this very day: The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Cor 13:14)
Admittedly, however, while it is a cornerstone of our faith and it is familiar to all Christians, our belief that God IS Three is something we celebrate, but cannot easily explain. In fact, Christian Marriage offers the perfect opportunity to explore this sacred mystery.
It is easy to summarize Bishop Curry's homily at "the Royal Wedding." He spoke about the power of love.
Believers and nonbelievers alike can appreciate that love has the power to draw two people together in an intimate sharing of every aspect of their lives. People entering into marriage, whether civil or Sacramental, seek a bond that is far more than a legal arrangement. The power of love causes human beings to seek a union, grounded in the hope that the marriage partners can be "all things" to and for one another.
And so last weekend, as The Church celebrated The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, over half of humanity celebrated the "Royal Wedding." What a perfect occasion to better understand the Blessed Trinity! Through the power of infinite and unconditional love, God has revealed the Divine Self to humankind as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit so that God can be "all things" to and for each and every one of us.
What we celebrate on this Trinity Sunday is the power of love, perfect and expressed to us through the communion of the Divine Persons…an intimate sharing of eternal life which those who strive to live in love will someday become part of.
May God Bless you…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Amen.


The business is, though, you should never acquire leather seats in your car. while animal rights activists and environmentalists have their own reasons to say you to go for cloth, I'm not going there in this fragment because it's irrelevant: every ideological debate aside, leather seats don't create a total lot of desirability in the majority of cars. And I'm going to say you why.
models are yet good choices for shoppers enthusiastic in a used car, but they shouldn't be the by yourself choice.
is far from a penalty box. Upper-dashboard plastics are of the soft-touch variety, and ease of access items such as automatic climate govern and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are all standard.
Pet dander, dust, and new allergens can decide into the cloth fabric, while similar to leather you can abundantly vacuum the seats or wipe them clean. Of course, even cars in imitation of leather seats have carpeted floors, which after that harbor allergens. hence leather upholstery can lonely condense allergens in the car, not prevent them.
Drop a little amount of water on the good, as genuine leather absorbs moisture. If the good is fake, the water will straightforwardly puddle stirring upon top. But genuine leather will interest a small fall of water in abandoned a few seconds , telling you speedily if it is genuine. Know that genuine leather goods are rarely ever cheap.

HTC is planning to build a blockchain-powered smartphone
Keumars Afifi-Sabet Read more May 16, 2018
HTC is planning to build a new blockchain-powered phone featuring a built-in cryptocurrency wallet.
The touted Android device, known as Exodus, will come packaged with a universal wallet and hardware support for all major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, as well as featuring decentralised applications.
Taiwanese manufacturer HTC is aiming to sync its Exodus devices to a native blockchain network, with each device acting as nodes, enabling cryptocurrency trading among users with ease.
Head HTC's business and corporate development Phil Chen, who founded the company's virtual reality system Vive, outlined these plans in an interview with The Next Web, also providing provisional schematics.
"Through Exodus, we are excited to be supporting underlying protocols such as Bitcoin, Lightning Networks, Ethereum, Dfinity, and more," Chen said. "We would like to support the entire blockchain ecosystem, and in the next few months we'll be announcing many more exciting partnerships together."
HTC's latest innovation follows in the footsteps of electronic manufacturing giant Foxconn, which last month announced it had agreed to build a blockchain-powered device developed by Sirin Labs.

Blockchain: the Bitcoin technology that could change the world
The Finney, which is expected to ship in October, features a 'cold storage' crypto wallet, enabled via a physical switch, that, when flicked, immediately turns off all unencrypted communications – meaning the crypto wallet will be offline unless deliberately activated.
HTC's announcement continues a recent trend of companies taking up blockchain technology in a bid to refresh and enhance their products and services – with a range of sectors, from finance to automotive, indulging in the new technology's appeal.
Automakers such as BMW, Ford, Groupe Renault and General Motors, for instance, earlier this month came together to form a consortium that will explore how blockchain can reinvent mobility and address industry shifts.
But KPMG, meanwhile, believes blockchain still remains in the "hype stage" with results not expected till at least 2019 at the earliest.
Speaking to in February, KPMG head of tech growth Patrick Imbach said: "I'm not sure actually whether some sort of tangible use-cases and commercial models based on blockchain technologies will evolve over the next months.
"We're still a little bit early in that process, I wouldn't expect any exciting commercial opportunities to arise in large numbers any time soon – in the UK, particularly."
The use and exchange of cryptocurrencies have been largely unregulated to date – but a handful of regulatory bodies have indicated plans to provide some oversight on trading in future, with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) last month announcing its intention to launch a regulatory review of cryptocurrencies.

Q: Strong approximation theorem for Dedekind Domains This is a theorem in "Maximal Orders" by Reiner. Page 48 stated without proof. And is said to be an easy consequence of The Chinese remainder Theorem. I am attempting to prove the theorem and need a little help.
R is a Dedekind domain with fraction field $K$.

Let $P_{1},\cdots ,P_{n}$ be distinct non zero prime ideals of the Dedekind Domain $R$, and let $a_{1},\cdots ,a_{n}\in K$ be given as well as positive integers $r_{1},\cdots,r_{n}$. Then there exists $b\in K$ such that
  $$\begin{cases}b-a_{i}\in(P_{i})^{r_{i}}\cdot R_{P_{i}}& 1\leq i\leq n,\\ b\in R_{P}&\text{for all } P\neq P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}, \end{cases}$$
  Where $P$ denotes a variable nonzero prime ideal of $R$.

My attempt is as follows.
First assume that each $a_{i}\in R$. Then by chinese remainder theorem there exists $b\in R$ such that $b\equiv a_{i}\mod P_{i}^{r_{i}}$ for all $i$. Therefore $b-a_{i}\in P_{i}^{r_{i}}\subset P_{i}^{r_{i}}\cdot R_{P_{i}}$. Also since $b\in R$, $b\in R_{P}$ for all $P$ prime. Now let $a_{i}\in K$. Then for each $i$, $a_{i}=x_{i}/s_{i}$ for $x_{i},s_{i}\in R$ and $s_{i}\neq 0$. Define $a'_{i}=a_{i}\prod_{i=1}^{n}s_{i}$. Then each $a'_{i}\in R$. There exists $b\in R$ such that $b\equiv a'_{i}\mod P_{i}^{r_{i}}$ for each $i$. I claim that $b'=\tfrac{b}{\prod s_{i}}$ is the element that does the above.
The issue that I am running into is I have no controll over the $s_{i}$. Therefore I have no way to ensure that $b'-a_{i}=(b-a'_{i})/\prod s_{i}$ is in $P_{i}^{r_{i}}\cdot R_{P_{i}}$. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A: Rewrite to reflect the context of the text the op is using:
Let's prove we can do it for one, then using the CRT we will bootstrap to the others.
Then if we want to match some $b_i$ with the right property relative to $P_i$, and then it's easy to make sure $b_i\in R_P$ for $P\ne P_i$ because it won't change the $P_i$ valuation of $b_i$.
But then this is just a matter of choosing a $b_i\in K$ as any element from $a_i+P_i^{r_i}$, then by definition $b_i$ has the requisite property, and you can reconstruct $b$ from the $b_i$ as you do when you piece together CRT things. The existence of the appropriate multipliers follows from weak-approximation (not a small part of the proof, despite brevity).

A: You're almost there. Let $S$ be the finite set of prime ideals that divide $s = \prod s_i$. For a prime ideal $P$, denote $e(P)$ the exponent of $P$ in the prime factorization of $s$. Then use the CRT to find $b \in R$ with $b \equiv a_i' \pmod {P_i^{r_i + e(P_i)}}$ for all $i$, and $b \equiv 0 \pmod {P^{e(P)}}$ for all $P \in S$. Then $b' = b/s$ does the job.

MIKE VAUDREUIL, BSC (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING)
Created: Friday, 27 May 2016 12:00
By now, you've no doubt heard about the story of Mike Vaudreuil, the 54 year-old custodian who graduated with his degree in mechanical engineering from the same college he cleaned at night.
In 2008, due to the recession, Mike lost the business he had set up 24 years earlier and had to file for bankruptcy.
His wife's business, which had just started, went under as well. The only work he could find was that of a night custodian at a local college.
Under these circumstances, anyone would be tempted to give up. Some people become bitter and feel that the world has betrayed them. Other people just do the job and go home. Most people wouldn't go to class in the morning with 19 year-old undergraduate students and then clean up after them in the evening.
Yet, that's just what Mike did and 8 years later, he now has a degree in a promising field.
When we read stories like this, it's an opportunity to ask ourselves what we are doing and where we are going in life. It's also an opportunity to reflect on whether we have the fortitude and determination necessary to overcome our personal challenges.
