ACCESS AUSTRALIA (NOT)

Sometimes it takes a superstar for people to take note. When the superstar is Stevie Wonder, blind and commenting on disability access, people listen. Even more so when the said persona chose to make a statement on disability access at the 2016 Grammy Awards. Wonder started off with a joke about his seeing colleagues not being able to read the card that had the name of the winner of song of the year on it because it was written in Braille. It was a nice moment but probably didn't deserve the overreaction of the woman to his right who giggled like a school girl and looked like she was about to wet herself. She was probably betraying her discomfort with disability, and in particular, disability jokes. That said, Wonder's message was clear and powerful, "We need to make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability."
In Australia the powers that be probably thought Wonder's message was lovely and that will be the sum of their reaction. You see, disability access in Australia is appalling and seemingly getting worse. In the last two weeks there have been several disability access incidents that have left me scratching my head. How can these things happen in a rich country like Australia? It is shameful.
It started with a mobility scooter using guy who has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Apparently on three separate occasions the guy wanted to get on a tram in Melbourne and asked for the ramp to be deployed. He was refused. It seems that some well meaning passengers then got off the tram to lift him and his scooter on.
Yarra Trams were apologetic. You see the ramps are only for emergency situations and the MS guy has to board at a stop that has accessibility features. But these are very rare in Melbourne even though they are slowly being built. In the meantime the MS guy has to either find an accessible stop or again rely on kind hearted fellow passengers to lift him on the tram. All he wants to do is get to hospital for his treatment. It is shameful that this is still happening here in Australia. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-10/yarra-trams-driver-refused-to-deploy-ramp-man-with-ms-says/7157030
For the last few weeks I have been assisting a deaf friend to try and get access to workshops and assessments to allow him to progress as a referee. I won't say what sport because that would reveal the organisation in question. To cut a long story short my friend wants to progress as a referee. To do that he has to attend workshops, training and sit through a number of assessments. He is a very good and very passionate referee.
The problem is that my friend has no access to the workshops and assessments. Why? Because the association in question claims that they have no money to pay for interpreters. It is probably one of the biggest sporting associations in Australia. Yet they are crying poor. They seem to think that interpreting is some sort of charity and have this idea that spending a few hundred dollars to provide access is going to send them broke. It's nonsense of course but that's Australia for you.
And then there is Fucking Telstra, beautifully articulated by deaf Melissa Coe at the Blog, I Sign I Wander. Ms Coe has had an ongoing saga with Telstra to get them to stop phoning her. She and her fiance built a new house. For a myriad of reasons her new house had no phone lines or internet. For six months or so now she has been trying to get Telstra to organise a temporary solution so that she can access data. Us deafies largely access telecommunications through the internet now. The NRS, email, Facebook, chat features, Skype … it gives us access to many things.
Ms Coe has asked, and continues to ask, that Telstra communicate with her through text or email while they are trying to find a solution. It is a moot point that Telstra should have resolved this issue by now. The issue is that after three million or so reminders they still continue, virtually every day, to call deaf Melissa's phone via voice. Despite repeated requests to not call they do.
Telstra, a communications giant, don't email,they don't text and they don't use one of the many simple solutions available at their disposal to communicate with a person who is deaf. Instead they demonstrate Audism at its worst and expect Melissa and her fiance to adjust to their limited systems and capacity to problem solve.
After a sustained and clever social media campaign to embarrass Telstra the CEO is now involved. Will he make it better? Time will tell. The whole sorry saga is another example of lack of access in Australia for people with a disability. It is just appalling.
I wish I could end it here, but no there is more. It seems that mega rich Disney, known for their wonderful access provision in the United States, don't follow what they practice there here in Australia. If you don't believe me click HERE to see what Disney in the US provide people who are deaf.
But here in Australia Disney on Ice will not provide an Auslan interpreter for their performances. This means kids who are Auslan users, people who are Auslan users and parents who are Auslan users cannot go and enjoy the show. I guess if they are not providing interpreters they probably would poo themselves if someone should call and ask for captioning too.
Yet all of this is provided in the US. Why not here? All I can say is – That's Australia for you. Suffice to say there is currently a sustained media campaign to get Disney on Ice to provide access. Look out for the story in the newspapers of Melbourne in the next day or so.
But that's not all. There is the student that cannot be "assessed appropriately" because the lecturer has issues working with Auslan interpreters. There is the ongoing cinema access saga too. Reading Cinemas recently asked for my email contact so that they can "discuss options" with me. I dutifully provided it to them. Four weeks later they still have not even bothered to contact me.
And that sums up disability access in Australia. It is simply appalling and the apathy shown by so many people towards the provision of access is disheartening. There is a push to reinstate the Disability Commissioner at the Human Rights Commission. Will it help? I don't think it will help one bit. What Australia needs is a disability discrimination legislation with teeth. Invest money in completely revamping the DDA. Make it compel people to comply.
Until we get that law with teeth Australia will continue to treat people with a disability with contempt. Advance Australia Fair???? No way, it should be Access Australia (not).
Sung to the tune of Advanced Australia Fair!
Australians all let us rejoice,
For DIS A BIL IT EEEE
We've crap access despite our toil,
Our homes a tragerdeeee;
Our land abounds in barriers
Oh hell theyre everywhere
In history's page, let us say
Access Australia – NOT!
In painful strains then let us sing,
Beneath our unfair Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands
Thooough this Commonwealth of ours
Will rip us off again
For those with no dis 'bilities
You've boundless stuff to share
Level the playing field to
Access Australia yeah!
Make us equal, let us sing

Peter Mulham says:
Totally agree Gary – something I've been saying for the last few years is the Disability Discrimination legislation needs to stop giving leeway to businesses – after all, we've had the DDA since – what 1990? – so now everyone should be well and truly aware of the rights and needs of people with disabilities. Yet 25 – yes TWENTY FIVE years later, we are still no where near a level playing field!!
The pandying has to stop, the kow-towing to businesses has to stop, the "self- regulating" has to stop, because none of it works. The only thing that works is hitting them at the hip pocket – "which is going to be cheaper for you to do – pay $30,000 to comply or pay a $3,000,000 fine." Pretty amazing how quickly they run then!
I read somewhere recently that someone said "Capitalism has no conscience – or morals" and that is so true – the only thing that interests the capitalist economy is how to make money and how to it as fast as possible, as cheaply as possible and to hell with whoever gets in it's way!!!
The really sad thing is that, whether it is capitalism, communism, socialism or whatever economic system there is, there will always be people at the top – and on the way up – who have been corrupted by power and money – and in the process cast aside any scruples they have.
But I digress – and need to get off my soapbox!!
Thanks for putting into words what needs to be said! You do good!

readelicious — hacking del.icio.us directly into Google Reader 2008/02/08
It's just too many clicks to leave the ol' feed reader to see an article and save it to del.icio.us. I'm not into that kind of commitment. I am, however, into Greasemonkey so I headed to userscripts.org and discovered two fairly poor attempts to do what I wanted. The first one just took me to the del.icio.us/post page which is a different kind of bad solution. The second one displayed a nice box in the page for editing the info before saving away to del.icio.us but it appeared halfway off of my screen and I didn't have the patience to figure out why. Here are those two:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11233
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7957
Mine has many virtues. First off it actually works and on any browser window size larger than 422 pixels. Secondly it is visually a bit more disruptive than the small Google-styled "window" that one displays but not so obnoxious as to take you off the page entirely. And finally, it automatically pulls the title, link and selected text from the article. Fully featured! As a bonus you get the timeless, classic and beautiful feel of my favorite color, #eee.
Because of the way del.icio.us' API works, it'll ask you for your username and password the first time through but after that should behave nicely.

Awesome, love it. I'm totally lazy and read 90% of stuff in google reader without actually going to the page (unless I want to read/add a comment). And when I don't have time to read something I have to open it in a tab and leave it there just to read it later... or save it to delicious. Now I can save it to delicious from reader :).
One problem... you forgot to add a keyboard shortcut. My reader sessions look something like this: jjjjjjvjjsvjjj+s, etc. The mouse is for suckers. I added a keyboard shortcut to launch the delicious bookmark window using the 'd' key, and also added an event handler to close the window if you press escape. The code is at http://immike.net/scripts/readelicious.user.js, feel free to steal it -- it's a pretty minor contribution ;).

Cool. I'll have to give that a try, maybe this will woo me away from Camino back to Firefox.
I've been using the 'Gordita' bookmarklet for Google reader/del.icio.us integration, which works well!
— Bernie — 2008/02/08 4:17 pm
this made me curious to look at the del.icio.ous integration in NNW. It's not as elegant as I would expect. Maybe I should complain.

Q: Simple switch between 12V and 24V I hope somebody can help me here.
I am helping my son build a 24V race car with his school. We have a speed controller that runs on 24V built by an electronics engineer who is no longer with us. The 24V is supplied by two 12V batteries in series. To get a quicker start off the line, I want to fit a momentary boost button which will switch power from 24V to 12V, changing the batteries from series to parallel for a few moments to get going.
I have two 120A relays with five connections (two for power, and the rest with common, NC and NO.) I also have a momentary switch to switch the relays.
Can somebody help me with a a simple circuit to switch the batteries from series to parallel, bypassing the controller for the duration of boost. (Three wires, common, 12V from both batteries in parallel when momentary switch is depressed, and 24V when in normal mode.)
Race regulations do not allow extra batteries or motor modificatuions so this is what we have to work with.
I am sure this is simple, but I cannot get my head around it.

A: SAFETY WARNING: There is no safeties in the following circuit - relays could weld and prevent the vehicle from stopping, and the current draw could be extreme and start a fire or melt something. Even when it works without disaster it still has no control over the applied current, your only option is full throttle forward. Please make carefully sure that this is what you want and need before putting it together. I put this answer here because it answers the question, not because it it's the correct solution to the problem.
Here is a relay schematic I found on a forum. Note that this uses DPDT relays - you can make exactly one DPDT relay from the relays you have right now. All these relays should be break before make relays otherwise everything will short out and probably start a fire. Do use a fuse for each battery - children are our future you know.
RELAY1 is in charge of changing the batteries from series to parallel configuration, the default is series.
RELAY2 is in charge of disconnecting the motor controller from the motor and connecting the batteries for the uncontrolled burst of acceleration you're seeking.
I would put the relay coils in parallel on your turbo boost control button.

South Australians cop more than 1200 fines every day
SA Police recorded 240,000 fines against South Australians in the past six months – more than 1200 a day, or almost one a minute. We analyse the list and reveal the most common – and the most unusual – reasons for receiving an expiation notice in this state.

Latest State Government data shows South Australians were handed 244,360 expiations between 1 July 2016 and 11 January 2017 – earning the Government more than $75 million in just over six months.
That's equal to more than $380,000 every day, or $16,000 every hour, or $267 every minute… or $4.45 every second.
And the number of expiations has grown at a staggering pace in recent years.
The number of fines recorded by SA Police rose by 58 per cent in the four years from 2011-12 to 2015-16.
That's more than 10 times the growth rate of South Australia's population (five per cent) over the same period.
Image: Leah Zahorujko / InDaily
It appears, though, that 2016-17 may be the first financial year in recent history with fewer fines than the previous financial year.
If we assume South Australians will receive the same number of expiations in the second half of 2016-17 as they did in the first, we can expect a total of 466,306 expiations for the full financial year – 125 fewer than in 2014-15.
SA's top offences
The most frequent offences recorded during the past six months were breaking the speed limit (116,993), having an unregistered vehicle on the road (32,529) and disobeying a red arrow at traffic lights (6,526).
Using a hand-held mobile phone while driving, cannabis-related offences and failing to wear a bike helmet also made the top 30.
About 20,000 of the expiations recorded during the period were eventually withdrawn.
Offences involving children
More than 1000 expiations were issued to drivers who failed to ensure children and other passengers were wearing a seat belt.
More than 100 people were caught speeding through school zones – including one driver caught at 30-44kph above the speed limit.
And 36 people were caught smoking with a child in the vehicle.
Two expiations were recorded for failing to stop at a children's crossing and one was handed out for smoking near a children's playground.
Smoking offences
More than 100 people were caught smoking in a public transport area, and 42 were caught throwing a burning object from a vehicle.
Interestingly, few South Australians have received expiations for smoking in an enclosed public space, or in a declared public area, during the first six months of the State Government's ban on smoking in outdoor dining areas.
It is unclear whether the relatively low number of smoking-related expiations means that few offences were committed or that few offences were reported to police – or both.
Cycling offences
Unsurprisingly, the most common cycling offence was failing to wear an "appropriate helmet".
Nine people were also caught leading an animal while riding a bike. Seven were caught riding with more people on the bike than it is designed to carry.
Offences committed by motorists, but affecting cyclists, also featured in the data: 16 drivers were caught driving too close to a cyclist (1-metre rule), 73 were pinned for driving in a bike lane and 16 caused a hazard by opening a vehicle door.
Offences that caught our eye
Some of the most notable offences in the dataset were committed by very few people.
One person, for example, failed to dispose of a reloadable mortar or aerial shells. Another failed to meet the preconditions of a body modification procedure.
A further 20 were caught driving while a television receiver was in operation. Six were busted driving a vehicle with a radar detector.
And 68 did a runner at the end of their cab ride.

COME on you Glassboys!
That's the call going up from the people of Stourbridge as the town prepares for its big football day tomorrow.

It's almost a case of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick-maker getting together to try to claim the scalp of League One Walsall in the first round of the FA Cup – the first time the side has ever got this far.
Currently enjoying a good start to the season in the Zamaretto League, three divisions below the Football League, the team could reasonably be said to be punching above their weight as they get ready for the novel Black Country clash.
The club's War Memorial Athletic Ground will be heaving with just over 2,000 spectators close enough to the pitch to touch the players.
A temporary stand has been erected this week behind one of the goals for home fans who have paid £20 apiece to be there, and although it is open to the elements, the club is providing almost 500 hooded red ponchos for free, should rain sweep across the ground.
Seventeen portable toilets have been hired to cope with the extra attendance, which will be ten times bigger than for an average home game.
The club's original, ornate turnstiles will be pressed into service for the first time in more than 30 years. ITV has been busy setting up three 30ft towers, so cameras can overlook the pitch without getting a view of the roped-off cricket squares immediately in front of the lensmen.
The club shares the ground with Stourbridge Cricket Club, which has collaborated on the preparations.
The Glassboys' own Mr Fixit, volunteer Karl Taylor said: "ITV couldn't get their trucks in, and I had to find somewhere for them to put their outside broadcast unit.
"They've ended up putting it on the industrial estate next door, 106ft below the back of the stand, and are pulling their cables up a sheer sandstone embankment!" The Stourbridge side will include ace marksman Ryan Rowe, who lays tarmac for a living, plus helicopter pilot Ben Billingham and Nathan Bennett, head of sport at Stourport High School. Club president Hugh Clark, who has supported Stourbridge for 40 years, said the only fixture to match the Walsall game was the 1974 first leg of the Welsh Cup Final, when 6,000 spectators saw the clash with Cardiff City.
He added: "We've already done nicely from the cup run – we've won four rounds and received prize money, but this match is proving expensive to stage.
"If we win, yes, the next game would be a money-spinner."
Nearby pub The Robin Hood in Collis Street has unveiled a celebratory ale Hackett's Heroes, produced by the Salopian Brewery and named after team manager Gary Hackett, and expects to have sold 400 pints by Saturday.
Pub boss Philip Guy said: "Everybody is excited about the game, even the non-football fans."

Rose is currently a third year graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences. She received a M.S. in Global Health and a B.A. in History from the University of Notre Dame. Her master's research involved analyzing the social determinants underlying persistent schistosomiasis in Tanzania despite multiple rounds of drug treatment.
My research interests include developing a socio-ecological systems-based approach to better understand neglected tropical disease transmission, applying novel analytical techniques to quantify the role of structural drivers of disease transmission such as poverty and inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene, and using these results to inform policy-making. Additionally, I am interested in developing and evaluating more sustainable community-based approaches to disease control which shift efforts from exclusively biomedical approaches to ones that address the more structural determinants of disease and build community resilience.


Natalie Calvert shares her experience with a discussion on how to define the term 'customer experience' for your business in the first place.
From a customer's point of view, interactions should be easy, enjoyable and make you happy to return and spend your money. They should delight you, even making you feel proud enough to tell your friends and colleagues.
From your organisation's point of view, the best customer experiences mean more profitable and loyal advocates, and of course customers that rarely complain. Resultantly, you gain free PR and positive brand-building through word-of-mouth recommendations.
To an extent, the contact centre is the broker between the two – balancing organisational needs alongside customer needs. However, most contact centres have grown in an organic fashion, responding to high and ever increasing contact volumes and more demanding customers. In many ways, then, delivering the ultimate customer experience is much easier said than done. Most contact centres never have time to stop and think, after all.
It is now generally accepted that there is a very strong relationship between profitable organisations, highly engaged employees and great customer experiences. The Institute of Customer Service report, "The service profit chain", demonstrates that those organisations that deliver service excellence deliver on average over 70 per cent greater profit per employee and 24 per cent higher average net margin. Additionally, satisfied customers are over five times more likely to stay with you longer and spend more. So providing good customer experiences is fundamental to long-term organisational success.
With this in mind, I want to share with you a very practical approach to understanding how to define the best customer experience for your organisation.
First of all, let us get our commercial context sorted out.
When it comes to defining where you want to be, my very first recommendation is to start with understanding what success looks like from a commercial point of view. This means clearly identifying your critical success factors (CSFs). This always gives context and puts some strong markers in the ground. It will also be valuable for calculating the impact further down the line.
The CSF commercial challenges are further compounded by the need to increase customer and employee experience.
You will need to examine your organisation's brand values (if you haven't done this already) and define what this means in the contact centre across all customer and employee touchpoints and engagement.
What is the tonality of your centre today? Is it friendly, welcoming and caring, or is it professional, fast and dynamic? Perhaps it's traditional, tired and flat? Critically, what do you want it to feel like?
What about your competitors? What do they feel like? What's their tonality? How can you differentiate yourselves? Examples are great here. Look at screenshots of websites, listen in to calls, understand the written message in their literature and so on.
In addition to this, you really need to understand your calls – and by that I mean the content, the actions, the tonality, the process and how the systems support the customer interaction. Listen to your interactive voice response (IVR) system. Even call directory enquiries and see what they say. You need to understand how contactable (and therefore accessible) you are.
In simple terms, you are seeking to 'wrap' your organisation's brand in to the DNA of your customer contact so that your customers' experience will make the difference between contacting you and your competitors.
Next, step outside the box. Where exactly do you want to be?
The best way is to take all your key stakeholders – including marketing, sales, operations and the frontline – off for a DreamOut session: a workshop that enables teams to share ideas, tackle key issues and innovate while creating a new way of working.
To kick this off, I suggest sharing some industry benchmarking data, your customers' feedback, employee feedback and of course your CSFs. Be warned that the preparation for this day might take several days or weeks to ensure you maximise time and output.
Now let the debate begin. During the DreamOut, you'll need to brainstorm, debate and argue about what you believe the best customer experience look, feel and touch should be. To consolidate this, it can be worthwhile to develop a DESTINATION statement – a paragraph or two which articulates this.
There are three levels that you'll need to consider in developing your ultimate customer experience, each building on the other from 'Brilliant Basics' to 'Delivering an Extra Mile' through to a 'Value Add' proposition that you might provide to key customer groups (see diagram below).
It all starts with Brilliant Basics – and without these in place, don't even attempt to do more. You will just switch off your customers and frustrate your staff.
You'll need to have a perspective that drives this process by customer segment as it is likely that you'll look to differentiate your offering by customer type, value and future propensity.
Finally, during your DreamOut, explore each of these levels, clearly define what each level means for your organisation and its service offering. At this stage you will need to stay with the vision, the big picture. Don't get trapped in the operational nuts and bolts. There will be plenty of time for that after all of this.
Following the DreamOut you will also need to map out the customer journey in detail and define what that experience should be at each stage. This should not simply be from your own organisation's point of view, but also from your customer's point of view. A great way to look at this is to discover the 'moments of truth' and clearly define what you want that moment to translate in to and how you want your customer to behave and feel.
Some good examples of 'moments of truth' can be found in both the acquisition and retention stages of a customer interaction. In acquisitions, investigate how quotes, brochure requests, product queries and initial purchases are handled. In retaining customers, investigate how changes of details, complaints and bill payments are handled.

'Afghanistan very close to our hearts': Indian President Kovind
New Delhi [India], Sept 28 (ANI): Indian President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday said that Afghanistan is not just a strategic partner, but a country very close to our hearts.
President Kovind made the remark during his meeting with Afghanistan's Chief Executive Dr. Abdullah Abdullah on Thursday.
Welcoming Dr. Abdullah to India, the President said that India considers him a very close friend and admires the selfless leadership that he has given Afghanistan through difficult times.
He said people to people exchanges have provided a very strong foundation to India-Afghanistan relations and added that Rabindranath Tagore's 'Kabuliwala' resonates in the heart of every Indian.
President Kovind said every Indian instinctively trusts a person from Kabul.
He further said that a new development partnership between India and Afghanistan has been announced earlier this month and both sides are embarking on new generation development projects aimed at supporting socio-economic development in Afghanistan.
He also assured Afghanistan of India's continuous support to Kabul in all possible ways.
The President said that India deeply respects the supreme sacrifice made by the Afghan National Defence and Security forces to fight the forces of terror.
"We are indebted to them for ensuring security of Indians and of our Mission and Consulates in Afghanistan. India strongly condemns the acts of cross border terror perpetrated against the people of Afghanistan. There is no doubt that the people of Afghanistan have suffered for a long time. Generations have been lost to terrorism. We empathise with their yearning for peace. We stand with the Government and people of Afghanistan in their quest for peace, stability and prosperity," he said.
Dr. Abdullah also met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj earlier in the day to build upon multifaceted bilateral cooperation among the two nations.
Dr. Abdullah arrived in New Delhi on Thursday to hold talks with the Indian leadership and to inaugurate the India-Afghanistan Trade and Investment Show with Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. (ANI)

To "Celebrate" Christmas, Police to Forcibly Remove City's Entire Homeless Population
Matt Agorist December 25, 2018
Honolulu, HI — To "celebrate" Christmas Eve, the Waikiki Police Department is planning to remove all of the city's homeless population in a massive sweep. The action has prompted backlash from the community as well as the ACLU.
During the early morning hours, from 3:00 to 5:30 a.m. offices will sweep the town and forcibly remove all tents, gear, and people from the streets.
Executive director of the ACLU of Hawaii, Josh Wisch spoke to KITV, saying, "The city's continuing effort to criminalize the houseless are – in our view- not only illegal and constitutionally questionable, but they're ineffective and cruel. Doing this on Christmas Eve is unconscionably cruel."
Indeed, literally waiting until the night before Christmas to remove the city's homeless population seems like a cruelly timed plan, carefully implemented to make a statement.
Instead of programs to help the homeless population, the city is using brute force and inhumane tactics. In towns across America, private citizen try to provide shelter and food for the homeless as well and they are shut down, threatened or arrested.
A good Samaritan in Chicago learned the hard way about the police state who forced him to stop helping homeless people—or they will condemn his home and charge him.
When the brutally cold winter struck the Midwest earlier this year, Greg Schiller did an amazing thing. This selfless individual opened up his empty basement to a group of homeless people who may have otherwise died sleeping out on the street. He offered them food, warm beverages, and cots to sleep on. He even provided the entertainment and played movies for them.
"I would stay up all night with them and give them coffee and stuff and feed them," he said. What's more, Schiller had a strict policy that no drugs or alcohol were allowed in his home.
This was Schiller's second year of inviting the area's homeless into his home. Last year, however, he let them sleep in his garage and even though it was sealed off from the elements, it was still too cold and EMTs were called to help a man with a heart condition. So, this year, he moved the same operation to the basement where it was nice and cozy.
Everything was going great this year until the state stepped in, however. Schiller was essentially told that even though he owns his home, he does not get a say in who gets to sleep in it.
"While we appreciate those who volunteer to provide additional resources in the community, Mr. Schiller's house does not comply with codes and regulations that guard against potential dangers such as carbon monoxide poisoning, inadequate light and ventilation, and insufficient exits in the event of a fire," city spokesperson Molly Center said in a statement—as if the homeless population is being forced to stay in this basement.
Once they found out that a good Samaritan would dare challenge their almighty dictate on "sleeping regulations," the city sent in police with a warrant and told him to shut it down, or else.
"They shut me down and said I have 24 hours to return my basement to storage and take down – I have several cots with sleeping bags for everybody – or they'll condemn the house," Schiller said at the time.
If the US spent half as much money on fixing the homeless situation as they did on the war in Afghanistan, there would not be a single homeless person in the county. While this is not a perfect solution, the numbers don't lie.
According to estimates from Mark Johnston, the acting assistant housing secretary for community planning and development, "homelessness could be effectively eradicated in the United States at an annual cost of about $20 billion."
The war in Afghanistan alone will cost Americans nearly double that amount in 2018 alone.
If the United States government cut its budget for the Afghanistan War in half, and put half of the money towards ending homeless in America, it could make a difference. If the government gave the entirety of the money it is using for endless proxy wars in the Middle East back to the taxpayers it was originally stolen from so that they could invest it in helping the individuals in need in their own communities, it could work wonders.

Is Selenium the Right Automation Testing Tool For You?
Home » Tech Blog » Is Selenium the Right Automation Testing Tool For You?
People are sometimes confused about what automation testing tools are out there, and which one is best for them. There are basically two most widely used choices available in market today — Quick Test Professional (QTP), an automated functional testing tool which is commercial and licensed. And Selenium, an open source automation testing tool for web applications across different browsers and operating systems.
Selenium IDE is a record and playback tool. It is distributed as a Firefox Plug-in, thus it is supported by Firefox only and the created test scripts couldn't be executed in any other web browsers, which makes this tool inappropriate to be used for complex test scripts.
Selenium RC allows user to create test scripts in a multiple programming language like Java, Ruby, C#, Perl etc. You can run your same script in multiple platform like Windows OS and Linux. It also allows executing test scripts within the large spectrum of browsers. Similar to Selenium IDE, the RC also has its own limitations. Before testing can begin, Selenium RC requires that the server be started before executing the script.
Note: Selenium 1 is now deprecated and is not actively supported.
Selenium RC was the highly popular Selenium project for a long time, but only until their WebDriver/Selenium merger brought up Selenium 2 — the newer and more powerful tool, as it directly communicates with the web browser and uses its native compatibility to automate.
Selenium Grid supports the execution of parallel tests remotely, where we can run different tests at the same time.
How do you setup and configure a Selenium Webdriver With Eclipse and Java into your system?
For downloading Java, click on this link and accept the license.
Double click on 'Eclipse.exe' to launch eclipse and add your workspace, or choose the default option.
Enter a Project Name (e.g., "MyProject") then click the Finish button.
Right-click on "MyProject" and select "Build Path" and then "Configure Build Path".
This will open a Properties dialog and go to the Library Tab. After that, click on "Add External JARs".
3. Now add the JAR files downloaded in Step 3.
Note: Add all the JAR files inside and outside the "Lib" folder.
5. Finally, click the OK button, and you're done importing Selenium libraries.
Now, we are ready to write our test script in Eclipse and run it in WebDriver.

CCH Charter & Rules
Hart District Council Election 2019
Following our success on 2 May, this page is awaiting update...
Independently minded and working for you
The Community Campaign Hart (CCH) have earned a reputation for putting the interests of residents before politics: tackling the issues that are facing Hart residents now and, in the foreseeable future. We will only make promises that are within our remit to deliver on. We think you would prefer us to be honest rather than make election promises we know we can't keep because they're not within the remit of local councillors to achieve. District Councils have minimal influence on the overall economy, health services, trains, 5G and fibre broadband rollout but there are plenty of areas where we can (and have been) a positive force for change:
QUALITY OF LIFE: we are very close to having a Local Plan for Hart, after many years without one under the previous administration. CCH have been absolutely instrumental in delivering this. The Local Plan affects so many areas of Hart life: transport, housing, primary and secondary schools. It will: -
Protect Fleet and Church Crookham from further housing which fails to deliver the necessary infrastructure to support it.
Supports the ground work to allocate further housing, from 2025, which central government policies require. Addresses sustainability and with key services, such as, secondary school, surgery, bus and transport links, to support it
Deliver homes for all, from starter homes through to affordable retirement homes, self-build plots and, will aim to, deliver 40% affordable homes.
Well-designed homes for future generations, technologically future-proof. Building 'smarter, better connected homes' is a wonderful aspiration for the future but, it will rely on fibre broadband and 5G rollout timescales so, realistically, is not deliverable in the short term and in all likelihood, will only be delivered via a well-designed New Settlement.
FLEET REGENERATION: we support the regeneration of Fleet 'High Street' with its centre on Fleet Road but, we won't make promises outside our jurisdiction or capability. We think this would be misleading and you, our constituents, deserve better. We can't force 'well known retailers' to move into Fleet and building a new retail and residential development can only happen if landlords are willing to sell . So far, none have expressed interest in doing so.
Further residential development of Fleet is highly unlikely to deliver the infrastructure it needs but, WILL LEAD TO more traffic and more pressure on, already struggling, key services. 'Brownfield' sites (that is a site that has previously been developed or used) are costlier to develop than a 'greenfield' site (one that has never been developed). The Developer's require a certain profit margin, once the land cost and build cost are taken from the forecasted revenue, to make the scheme viable for them. If they had to pay contributions towards the local infrastructure (roads, schools, doctors surgeries and the like) on top of the build and land cost, the scheme would become less viable. Inevitably the scheme would deliver less infrastructure. A re-development, such as this, will also, in all likelihood, require underground car parking, adding further cost and, – does Fleet's 'High Street' want/need that level of disruption? Therefore, regeneration has to be realistic and achievable, not, just wishful thinking.
It's important that we avoid turning Fleet into another Basingstoke or Farnborough. The character of Fleet is very different. We already have plenty of cinemas, bowling alleys and large shopping centres within 20 minutes' drive of Fleet. We don't want Fleet to be lumbered with large complexes that drive up rent for our retailers and leave us struggling to compete with larger neighbouring towns.
What we are supporting is: -
A sympathetic regeneration of the Harlington and surrounding area into a key leisure and entertainment destination for all ages.
New play equipment in Calthorpe Park. A multi-age park from a £200K budget from Developer Contributions (S106) for Leisure in Fleet.
A new entertainment and leisure hub for our younger residents.
Ensure that ALL Hart residents share in paying a fair contribution for the Harlington, as we believe it is an asset enjoyed by all.
Free parking up to an hour in every car park owned by Hart District Council – delivered sustainably and permanently, not as a temporary election gimmick.
TRANSPORT: Central government, the rail franchises and Network Rail ultimately drive improvements, such as 'faster, longer' trains. However, we are:
supporting work to introduce a second parking deck to Fleet station's north car park.
ensuring money given to Hampshire County Council from developments in Hart gets spent on Hart roads and not on paper studies that don't deliver on the ground.
Working with Hampshire Children's Services to introduce safety measures for pupils walking to school.
CRIME: Hart has one of the lowest crime rates in the UK so we think it's wrong to create a culture of fear that is unwarranted and unjustified. At a recent presentation, at FTC's AGM, by one of our PCSO's, a slight increase, in overall crime, of 5% was highlighted but, the PCSO said part of this was due to changes in reporting. However, we are aware that recent increases in some crimes, nationally, such as knife crime, may be causing concern but this is not an issue we currently face in Hart. Much of the national crime levels are as a result of the Central Government Police cuts. We will, however, continue do our bit to ensure Hart remains a safe community, by: -
Continuing to work with Hampshire Police & Crime Commissioner to secure more police on Hart's streets. The Community Campaign was the only Hart District Council group to attend consultation sessions with the Police & Crime Commissioner and to vote in support of his initiative to introduce over 200 new beat officers across Hampshire in the coming year.
Your local CCH District Candidate needs your support in the elections on 2nd May
The local solution is working
The Community Campaign (Hart) is an established and trusted independent local residents' group that has represented people in Hart District for over 15 years.
Our independent and open minded approach, listening and working with the communities we represent, makes us effective. We now have 11 elected Hart councillors, representing Fleet, Church Crookham and local villages.
We can focus on the issues which matter to local people, without having to bow to the imperatives of a national party hierarchy. We represent our electorate; no one else.
We have no political dogma. We simply represent local people, fairly and effectively.
We are free from party politics, so are free to exercise our best judgement.
We believe that best results are achieved by working with an open mind, being receptive to good ideas.
We are prepared to challenge when necessary.
Above all, we do this because we care about the local community and our environment.
Active engagement
The Community Campaign work together as a team, leveraging the skills of our individual contributors to best overall effect. We get involved in the issues that matter to the local community but do not seek to steal the glory.
We believe that it's the results that matter, not the photo opportunity nor collecting 'likes' on Facebook.
This election is about where we live, it's about the community, environment and quality of life in the area we all call home.

Q: Split String into groups with specific length How can I split the given String in Swift into groups with given length, reading from right to left?
For example, I have string 123456789 and group length of 3. The the string should be divided into 3 groups: 123, 456, 789. String 1234567 will be divided into 1, 234, 567
So, can you write some nice code in Swift:
func splitedString(string: String, length: Int) -> [String] {

}

BTW tried function split(), but as I understand it works only with finding some symbol

A: Swift 4
I adapted the answer given by cafedeichi to operate either left-to-right or right-to-left depending on a function parameter, so it's more versatile.
extension String {
    /// Splits a string into groups of `every` n characters, grouping from left-to-right by default. If `backwards` is true, right-to-left.
    public func split(every: Int, backwards: Bool = false) -> [String] {
        var result = [String]()

        for i in stride(from: 0, to: self.count, by: every) {
            switch backwards {
            case true:
                let endIndex = self.index(self.endIndex, offsetBy: -i)
                let startIndex = self.index(endIndex, offsetBy: -every, limitedBy: self.startIndex) ?? self.startIndex
                result.insert(String(self[startIndex..<endIndex]), at: 0)
            case false:
                let startIndex = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: i)
                let endIndex = self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: every, limitedBy: self.endIndex) ?? self.endIndex
                result.append(String(self[startIndex..<endIndex]))
            }
        }

        return result
    }
}

Example:
"abcde".split(every: 2)                     // ["ab", "cd", "e"]
"abcde".split(every: 2, backwards: true)    // ["a", "bc", "de"]

"abcde".split(every: 4)                     // ["abcd", "e"]
"abcde".split(every: 4, backwards: true)    // ["a", "bcde"]

A: func split(every length:Int) -> [Substring] {
    guard length > 0 && length < count else { return [suffix(from:startIndex)] }

    return (0 ... (count - 1) / length).map { dropFirst($0 * length).prefix(length) }
}

func split(backwardsEvery length:Int) -> [Substring] {
    guard length > 0 && length < count else { return [suffix(from:startIndex)] }

    return (0 ... (count - 1) / length).map { dropLast($0 * length).suffix(length) }.reversed()
}

Tests:
    XCTAssertEqual("0123456789".split(every:2), ["01", "23", "45", "67", "89"])
    XCTAssertEqual("0123456789".split(backwardsEvery:2), ["01", "23", "45", "67", "89"])
    XCTAssertEqual("0123456789".split(every:3), ["012", "345", "678", "9"])
    XCTAssertEqual("0123456789".split(backwardsEvery:3), ["0", "123", "456", "789"])
    XCTAssertEqual("0123456789".split(every:4), ["0123", "4567", "89"])
    XCTAssertEqual("0123456789".split(backwardsEvery:4), ["01", "2345", "6789"])

A: Just to add my entry to this very crowded contest (SwiftStub):
func splitedString(string: String, length: Int) -> [String] {
    var result = [String]()

    for var i = 0; i < string.characters.count; i += length {
        let endIndex = string.endIndex.advancedBy(-i)
        let startIndex = endIndex.advancedBy(-length, limit: string.startIndex)
        result.append(string[startIndex..<endIndex])
    }

    return result.reverse()
}

Or if you are feeling functional-y:
func splitedString2(string: String, length: Int) -> [String] {
    return 0.stride(to: string.characters.count, by: length)
        .reverse()
        .map {
            i -> String in
            let endIndex = string.endIndex.advancedBy(-i)
            let startIndex = endIndex.advancedBy(-length, limit: string.startIndex)
            return string[startIndex..<endIndex]
        }
}

A: This is what I came up with off the top of my head. I bet there is a better way of doing it so I'd encourage you to keep trying.
func splitedString(string: String, length: Int) -> [String] {
    var groups = [String]()
    var currentGroup = ""
    for index in string.startIndex..<string.endIndex {
        currentGroup.append(string[index])
        if currentGroup.characters.count == 3 {
            groups.append(currentGroup)
            currentGroup = ""
        }
    }

    if currentGroup.characters.count > 0 {
        groups.append(currentGroup)
    }

    return groups
}

Here were my tests
let firstString = "123456789"
let groups = splitedString(firstString, length: 3)
// Returned ["123", "456", "789"]

let secondString = "1234567"
let moreGroups = splitedString(secondString, length: 3)
// Returned ["123", "456", "7"]

A: Here is a version using NSRegularExpressions
func splitedString(string: String, length: Int) -> [String] {
    var groups = [String]()
    let regexString = "(\\d{1,\(length)})"
    do {
        let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: regexString, options: .CaseInsensitive)
        let matches = regex.matchesInString(string, options: .ReportCompletion, range: NSMakeRange(0, string.characters.count))
        let nsstring = string as NSString
        matches.forEach {
            let group = nsstring.substringWithRange($0.range) as String
            groups.append(group)
        }
    } catch let error as NSError {
        print("Bad Regex Format = \(error)")
    }

    return groups
}

A: Here's an another version with Functional Programming.
extension String{
    func splitedString(length: Int) -> [String]{
        guard length > 0 else { return [] }
        let range = 0..<((characters.count+length-1)/length)
        let indices = range.map{ length*$0..<min(length*($0+1),characters.count) }
        return indices
                .map{ characters.reverse()[$0.startIndex..<$0.endIndex] }
                .map( String.init )
    }
}

"1234567890".splitedString(3)

A: Swift 4
I think the extension method is more useful.
extension String{

    public func splitedBy(length: Int) -> [String] {

        var result = [String]()

        for i in stride(from: 0, to: self.characters.count, by: length) {
            let endIndex = self.index(self.endIndex, offsetBy: -i)
            let startIndex = self.index(endIndex, offsetBy: -length, limitedBy: self.startIndex) ?? self.startIndex
            result.append(String(self[startIndex..<endIndex]))
        }

        return result.reversed()

    }

}

the example of use:
Swift.debugPrint("123456789".splitedBy(length: 4))
// Returned ["1", "2345", "6789"]

A: I made something like this, couldn't create anything better looking, but its result matches the question:
func splitedString(string: String, lenght: Int) -> [String] {
    var result = [String](), count = 0, line = ""
    for c in string.characters.reverse() {
        count++; line.append(c)
        if count == lenght {count = 0; result.append(String(line.characters.reverse())); line = ""}
    }
    if !line.isEmpty {result.append(String(line.characters.reverse()))}
    return result.reverse()
}

A: There's probably a more elegant solution, but this works:
func splitedString(string: String, length: Int) -> [String] {
    let string = Array(string.characters)
    let firstGroupLength = string.count % length
    var result: [String] = []
    var group = ""

    if firstGroupLength > 0 {
        for i in 0..<firstGroupLength {
            group.append(string[i])
        }
        result.append(String(group))
        group = ""
    }

    for i in firstGroupLength..<string.count {
        group.append(string[i])
        if group.characters.count == length {
            result.append(group)
            group = ""
        }
    }
    return result
}

splitedString("abcdefg", length: 2) // ["a", "bc", "de", "fg"]
splitedString("1234567", length: 3) // ["1", "234", "567"]

A: Another solution using substrings:
func splitStringByIntervals(str: String, interval: Int) -> [String] {

   let st = String(str.characters.reverse())
   let length = st.characters.count
   var groups = [String]()

   for (var i = 0; i < length; i += interval) {
       groups.append((st as NSString).substringWithRange(NSRange(location: i, length: min(interval, length - i))))
   }

   return groups.map{ String($0.characters.reverse())}.reverse()
}

The output for :
for element in splitStringByIntervals("1234567", interval: 3) {
   print(element)
}

is:
1
234
567

A: Use this extention:
extension String {
    func split(by length: Int) -> [String] {
        var startIndex = self.startIndex
        var results = [Substring]()

        while startIndex < self.endIndex {
            let endIndex = self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: length, limitedBy: self.endIndex) ?? self.endIndex
            results.append(self[startIndex..<endIndex])
            startIndex = endIndex
        }

        return results.map { String($0) }
    }
}

Usage:
var array: [String] = []
let stringData = "Hello World"

array = stringData.split(by: 3)

The Pursuit of Intelligence Studies at Mercyhurst University
"The department ensures that students leave the program being able to identify future growth opportunities, pinpoint competitive advantages, and predict industry trends and market demands."
Mercyhurst University (MU) is a four-year, Catholic, liberal arts institution located in Erie, Pennsylvania in the United States. The university has a student body of over 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students and it offers more than 50 undergraduate majors and nine graduate degrees. The university also offers two unique undergraduate programs to its students – Intelligence Studies, and Business and Competitive Intelligence.
In this article, SchoolApply gives you a summary of these two programs and what benefits they offer students. We also had the opportunity to interview three freshman students who are currently enrolled in these intelligence programmes; Marina Rose Boyle - a 19-year old international student from Dublin, Ireland - and Nathan Brand and Jordan Kessler, both 18 years old and from Buffalo, New York in the United States.
INSTITUTE FOR INTELLIGENCE STUDIES
Mercyhurst University's Institute of Intelligence Studies offers an education in a high-demand industry that is continuing to grow. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects that analyst positions will grow by 19% by the year 2024. The university's challenging undergraduate multidisciplinary programme has a liberal arts curriculum at its heart and is combined with a foreign language or computer requirement, as well as national and international studies, an internship, and specific intelligence courses.
Mercyhurst University's internationally renowned intelligence programme yields graduates who are ready for entry-level research and/or intelligence analyst positions in both the government and private sectors - especially in business, law enforcement, national security and the military. For example, Nathan Brand is majoring in Intelligence Studies at Mercyhurst while also participating in the Army ROTC program. He emphasizes that the university's intelligence program provides a very strong foundation for Military Intelligence, an avenue he would like to explore in the future.
BUSINESS AND COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE
Mercyhurst's Business and Competitive Intelligence Department has a rigorous curriculum focused on the functional areas of business and data analysis. Graduates are skilled in data extraction, data analysis, and data interpretation, and are also capable of reporting their findings to pertinent decision makers. The department ensures that students leave the program being able to identify future growth opportunities, pinpoint competitive advantages, and predict industry trends and market demands.
The things that make you special make Mercyhurst special, and these next four years are your opportunity to embrace these ideas and become the person you want to be. This is your time to grow, to discover something new, to ignite your passions and share them with the world. It's time to seize the day. CARPE DIEM.
- Eric G. Evans, Director of International Admissions at Mercyhurst University
Marina Rose Boyle, currently enrolled in Mercyhurst's undergraduate Business and Competitive Intelligence programme and also minoring in Asian Studies and Pre-Law, gives her view on intelligence studies. She says, "What I find most interesting is the rapidly changing business environment of the twenty-first century which can be better understood and prepared for with the use of good intelligence. I see intelligence studies as the path which will lead me to be successful in business down the road. Most interesting are the patterns that emerge when studying the history of intelligence failures and how cognitive bias can be overcome by paying close attention to these."
FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES
Intelligence Studies at Mercyhurst University is about more than just the classes students take and the information they learn. The multi-disciplinary program focuses on weaving knowledge from different industries together and on cultivating useful and necessary skills in its students through internships, class discussion and hands-on learning. The program is also about working together with other students and forming priceless connections and friendships while studying at university.
Marina and Jordan Kessler were assigned to be roommates, mainly because they were both intelligence majors. Sharing many of the same classes has allowed them to grow close – they help each other with homework and as they share a major, they can empathise with one another on the program's pressures and workload.
Though never having met before attending Mercyhurst, Jordan knew of Nathan through a family connection and they met each other once school began. Jordan introduced Nathan to Marina, and with their similar academic pursuits and interests, the three became fast friends and enjoy relating intelligence to politics. The intelligence program is very content heavy and as such, the three spend a lot of time together preparing for exams. According to them, studying together in this program has facilitated their close friendship.
THE PROFESSORS OF THE PROGRAM
The intelligence programs at Mercyhurst are headed by amazing faculty who have wide-ranging specialities and backgrounds, ranging from national security, disruptive technologies and cyber analysis to information systems and technology, artificial intelligence and computer science.
Nathan states, "I really like how the professors for this degree have real-world experience. Some have past involvement with the military, government, or law enforcement. My current professor for my Intro to Intelligence Studies class was the head of Turkish police intelligence and has an extremely valuable outlook on intelligence that incorporates both personal experiences but also follows a structured curriculum. He often draws from his past experiences in a way that I find helps better explain how or why something works the way it does in the intelligence community."

Jordan shares that one of her favourite parts of the intelligence program is the bond that she has formed with professors. She goes on to comment that the faculty shares their wealth of knowledge and are able to relate their vast experience to the subjects they are currently studying, giving the curriculum a unique and interesting scope.
Commenting on her favourite class, Marina says, "My favourite class so far is Intro to Intelligence Studies which covers the Intel disciplines, history of intelligence, and methods of intelligence collection. My favourite memories of the class are the anecdotes and real-life intelligence experiences shared by my professor about his time spent working in Vietnam."
TANGIBLE RESULTS
Graduates of Mercyhurst's Intelligence Program are skilled in preparing assessments based on the collection and analysis of intelligence data. Currently, there are over 300 students enrolled in the programme and more than 70 Intelligence Studies students from the graduating class of 2016 were offered positions in U.S. intelligence agencies and private companies. With over 1,000 MU graduates working in the intelligence community, students can easily connect with alumni for advice and networking purposes.
Marina, Jordan and Nathan all agree that they have had an amazing experience at Mercyhurst University. They encourage students, both local and international, to apply to the school and the Intelligence Studies program. "The candidates need to be made aware of the heavy workload, but the professors are so helpful and it is very easy to make friends. In terms of employment, intelligence is a great and meaningful field to be involved in and there are many opportunities for international students in this area," Marina comments.

Chelmsford City Council
Chelmsford City Council's £2.3m initiative to tackle the city's homeless problem
The council have built 18 modular homes on two sites in the city
Alasdair Hooper
Homelessness is one of the biggest challenges Chelmsford faces as a city.
Whether it's rough sleepers or 'hidden homelessness', some people in the area are desperate for accommodation.
One of the new ways Chelmsford City Council is trying to tackle the issue is by building 'modular homes' on disused land in the city.
A total of 18 units - on two different sites - have been built by the council to provide short-term accommodation for families and individuals who have been made homeless.
Chelmsford City Council respond to claims rough sleeper was served Community Protection Notice while asleep
One of the sites is located in Beeches Road and has already welcomed a number of new tenants into the nine units.
The second site is in Fox Crescent and is almost completed - it should be ready to welcome tenants next month.

We spent 24 hours with Chelmsford's homeless and what we saw will appal you
Ahead of people being moved in, Essex Live's Alasdair Hooper was given the opportunity to look around the Fox Crescent site to see what was on offer and find out how it would help tackle homelessness.
Joining the tour of the Fox Crescent modular homes were councillor Paul Hutchinson, Cabinet Member for Strategic Housing, as well as ward Cllr Peter Cousins and council officer Steve Morgan.
How much have they cost?

The total cost for both sites comes in at £2.34million - with the Beeches Road site costing £1.12m.
The Fox Crescent modular homes have been more expensive to set up, coming in at £1.23m, due to the need to create a pumping chamber combined with having slightly larger units.
Of the nine units on site there are six family units (two bedrooms) and three one-bedroom units.

Once the final works are completed the properties will then be handed over to CHP who will sign up and move in tenants.
In terms of eligibility, the following factors are considered; level of need, suitability of the accommodation and the quality of the accommodation a person currently lives in.
Tenants must also be from Chelmsford.
Could you do more with less?
There are 18 units in total on two sites (Image: Chris Cook)
In Bristol there have been a number of initiatives to help the homeless, led by Help Bristol's Homeless and organiser Jasper Thompson.
One of the projects in Bristol is to build micro flats made out of shipping containers with each container costing approximately £10,000 to convert.
So why have Chelmsford City Council opted to build 18 units at a price of £2.34million?

"These aren't shipping containers, these are fully-insulated and they meet housing standards," said Cllr Hutchinson.
"We could do something like that but we refuse to do it because we say that we must keep up to a certain standard.
"These are people that have really fallen on hard times - people that have lost everything.
"People whose private landlords want to sell the property they're in so they've suddenly ended up with nowhere to live.
Cllr Hutchinson and cllr Cousins with reporter Alasdair Hooper (Image: Chris Cook)
"We have to treat people properly.
"Bristol, of course, has a far worse homelessness situation and rough sleeping situation and they may need to do that sort of thing.
"We're managing well with our temporary accommodation - it's not in the best standard and it's not in the exact location we would like.
"So when we are doing something in the right location we want it to be of a standard."

How long will the units last and what is included?

The units are intended to last upwards of 40 years, with the council assuming a lifespan of 30 years for its investment appraisal.
Each modular home comes furnished with tables, sofas and beds as well as kitchen appliances and a bathroom - while family units come with slightly larger tables and a bath instead of a shower.
Any tenants moving in will be allowed to stay there for as long as it takes to move to a permanent address.
Look around the modular housing in Fox Crescent
What's more, all of the tenants who moved into Beeches Road were moved in at the same time - so that they could help each other and build a community feel - the current average stay is around 250 days.
"It's what they want, they want permanent homes," said Cllr Hutchinson.
"There are some that can manage going into the private sector and some that just can't.
"If we've got a duty to house them then we will follow that through but if they are in a position that they can go to the private sector, with some help from the council then we will do that."
Beeches Road
The first tenants have moved into new 'modular housing' at Beeches Road.
The building is designed to offer temporary accommodation for families and individuals while they are found permanent housing.
MP for Chelmsford Vicky Ford visited the site along with members of the council, including Cllr Paul Hutchinson for it's opening day.
A second batch of modular housing in Chelmsford is also due to open very soon in Fox Crescent.
'They need to engage with us'
Every property comes furnished (Image: Chris Cook)
One of the frequent criticisms from some who fall into homelessness for whatever reason is that they are unaware of all the options open to them.
In Bristol the council have a 'Survival Handbook', which is 87 pages long, that can be given out to people looking for support.
In Chelmsford the information is available from the reception at the housing department but engaging with the council is also emphasised by both councillors.

"The real problem is they need to engage with us - the council," said Cllr Cousins.
"If they engage with the council they would be aware of all the facilities and aware of all the options open to them - or all the options that can be made available to them.
"If they don't engage it won't happen."
There are nine units at the Fox Crescent site (Image: Chris Cook)
Cllr Hutchinson added: "Chess are now doing a tremendous amount of work because they help people during the day but now they are going beyond that and helping people with CVs and things like that to get them back into work.
"Our housing team does have details of all the support on offer."
He continued: "People who become homeless or are threatened with homelessness, they know to come to the city council and we give them all that advice.
"Under the Homelessness Reduction Act there's a longer period of time that the council works with individual people.
"It's a 56-day period that really gears in directly to that particular individual's issues and circumstances.

"As far as rough sleepers are concerned, which is a very small proportion of people we help, everyone is known to our officers out there.
"Together with the other support services - Chess, Helping Hands, Open Road and things like that - they're engaging with them all the time and telling them what's available.
"But in terms of the leaflet we do have some."

Could there be more sites to come?

With Fox Crescent nearing completion, the obvious question is whether anymore sites will be built.
"We're always looking at potential sites, particularly old garage sites that aren't used any more," said Cllr Hutchinson.
"There's one site near the Patching Hall Lane area that we are going into partnership with CHP to build some more traditional style housing there.
"We're not putting our heads against doing something like this again but for the moment it's not in the pipeline.
Homeless in Chelmsford?
More advice about accommodation for those who are homeless is available from Chelmsford City Council here.
"Certainly we would approach it in a slightly different way than we've approached this because it has taken quite a lot of time.
"When we had the initial idea to do this, and we went into the market to get the units designed and manufactured, the lead in on that was a lot longer than we were led to believe.
"We were expecting six weeks and it turned out to be three or four months."
The units have cost a combined £2.34m (Image: Chris Cook)
He added: "Both the sites have had problems. This one they had to build a six-metre deep hole.
"The other one we had to lift them off the ground so they didn't get flooded and we've had to put in flood alleviation schemes.
"So if we were to do this again I think it would be in partnership with someone who would get on and do the job I think.
"People in Beeches are so pleased with them and I'm sure people living here will be as well.
"We were sort of the leader of this, because it is new, and I suppose we've been guinea pigs a bit on this.
"We've had a lot of other councils that have come to see it and we've even had some from Berkshire that came to look round."

Intergalactic Holidays...
Thais Russomano
InnovaSpace Founder, CEO & Scientific Director
Set your imagination flowing and just consider the following scenario:
"What's your preference? Cultural holidays? Something more adventurous?" asked the travel agent.
The clients would think for a moment and then, slightly hesitantly, they would respond. "We like extreme sports, like mountain climbing, parachute jumping, or diving into the depths of the oceans."
"Excellent - and so I suggest Mars! On the Red Planet there is an extinct volcano, Mount Olympus, the highest in the Solar System, three times taller than our own Everest!" recommended the agent.
"And there the gravity is just one-third that of Earth, which reduces your body to just over 30% of what you weigh here. Therefore, it's even easier to climb mountains there." I added, as the Space Medic of the Intergalactic Travel Agency.
This conversation and many others like it could be heard during a summer festival in London's Brockwell Park in late July, thanks to the creative thinking of Guerrilla Science, who wanted to present the idea of the possibility of experiencing holiday trips to different planets.
Children and adults entered into the game, discussing possible destinations, the activities that could be offered on each planet, or on the moon or an asteroid, the distances to be travelled, and the costs of such a vacation to places far beyond the limits of the Earth. Actors played the role of the travel agents, while I introduced aspects of space tourism that can affect the health of intergalactic adventurers, such as exposure to radiation, the absence of gravity, and confinement within a spacecraft.
Projects, such as this, still belong in the realms of science fiction for now, but they will begin to take shape in the not-so-distant future with the political, scientific and technological advances of Space Tourism. And in response to those of you who do not believe such a thing, Albert Einstein would say - "Something is only impossible until someone doubts it and ends up proving otherwise."


Biography: Alexander Rodchenko was a revolutionary artist, both politically and aesthetically. As a decorator, furniture and theater designer, printer, painter, sculptor, and photographer, he worked with a wide variety of media. He was also an art theorist and educator and began teaching at the VKhUTEMAS (Higher State Art-Technical Studios) in Moscow in 1920. Best known as a Russian Constructivist artist, in 1921 he co-wrote the Constructivists' manifesto. Among other things, it advocated the use of machine-made materials such as wire, glass, and sheet metal in the creation of socially useful art for a society in the midst of revolution.

What's that? said my wife when she realised a parcel was being delivered to our door this morning.
Someone has sent me a book to review, I answered.
Ooooohhhh, she said, with a thrill of anticipation, thinking it might be a new Jack Reacher or John Grisham.
Finance-led capitalism, shadow banking, re-regulation and the future of global markets, by Robert Guttman.
To say that she audibly deflated is to do deflation an injustice.
But then, I asked for it, literally. I was told the book was coming out, and offered to do a review here. Hence the parcel delivery this morning.
It's not the catchiest title in the world but I've spent my entire working life in the international financial world, from 1979-84 on the graduate programme at Midland Bank International, from October 1984 till January 1993 at the Financial Times Group, and from January 1993 to the present as a full-time freelance journalist who just happens to write about shadow banking, re-regulation and the future of global markets. If I'm not in the book's target audience, who is?
Published by Palgrave Macmillan with 268 pages including the index, and a cover price of £55.00, this won't be sitting under many Christmas trees come December 25 (or the evening of December 24 if you happen to be in continental Europe) but if you want a readable history of the ongoing financial crisis that began developing in July 2007 and accelerated dramatically with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, you'll find this interesting. I personally like the mention on page 105 of how Brady bonds helped solve the LDC (less developed countries) debt crises in the late 1980s, not least because I played an unwitting role in the creation of the Brady bond with an impertinent intervention at a specialist press conference. The same page has a mention of Basel, which my wife and I travel through regularly on our way to and from our bolthole in the Swiss Alpine town of Wengen.
It's not half as much fun as Money: The Unauthorised Biography, by Felix Martin, which is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the concept and practice of money, but it's well worth a read if you want to brush up on your financial history and form an opinion on what might happen next.

MVD love
Sorry, no definitions found. You may find more data at mvd.
In a recent cover package, NEWSWEEK's Russian-language partner, NEWSWEEK Russky, looked at whether the shuffles in the department known as the MVD (Internal Affairs Ministry) could actually make a difference.
The Torture Routine, Russian Style
All of these incidents result from a systemic problem in the MVD, which is essentially the national police department.
And they did; for the next two years and four years they observed him and very often were bored with him because he led a very quiet life but occasionally they had great shocks because at one point he married a young girl, Marina, who was the niece not only of Valya but was the niece of a colonel in the MVD, which is to the KGB roughly as the FBI is to the CIA.
Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery
Because of this, the difference of taking different paths is very small. the results are much less dramatic than that of TPE-MVD which is over 1000 mile difference for different transit points
How to get from Taipei to Montevideo
"That money is restricted by federal and state laws to pay for construction activities and cannot be used for general operations, such as MVD services."
Payson Roundup stories
SEASON TWO ($39.95 BluRay or $29.95 regular DVD; MVD) -- Costello's very enjoyable music and chat series (where artists sit together on stage and swap stories and songs) had a very good season two with Bono, Ron Sexsmith, Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Richard Thompson and the like.
Michael Giltz: DVDs: How Good Is Matt Damon? Damn Good
The MVD refers to the Interior Ministry, the DGB to the Department of State Security, the spetsnaz, OMON, and DON to special police forces.
It had no army, no KGB [security service], no MVD [interior ministry], no control over other regions of the country whose local governments might pull who knows what.


I dug that out of the trash, hope you are happy.
It's much more likely that you ordered an English Pub Burger and the McDonald's you visited simply hasn't reprogrammed the cashier computer since last fall.
also, what are you so embarrassed about purchasing at mcdonalds that you blacked it out?
I was referring to the "McRib" item listed when it was clearly an English Pub burger that he purchased today.
If I remember correctly, it was you who had the english pub burger for lunch yesterday, Reid. And Pete, I just didn't want you guys to see that I also ordered the new 50 piece mcnugget meal they have here.
I called the number on the receipt and asked them if they had McRibs...and they said no.
WTF Zeagle. Why are you lying?
Call the Mcdonalds on that receipt. They will tell you they have it.
Zeagle is the one who is lying. I had my doubts, so I called the location on Ruddo's receipt. They do have them, so I reserved three to be picked up. They'll be ready after 2:00pm EST, and they are already payed for. You're welcome, Chris.
You gotta be careful with all this little Zeagles running around.
Ruddo, 50 piece mcnugget meal is nothing to be ashamed of.
What do you dip your nuggets in, lil fella?
Any answer that's not honey mustard is wrong.

Q: How to publish 2 sets of tests results on Azure Devop? We have a git repository that contains .Net code(backend) and since recently typescript code(angular, front-end).
When we added the angular test execution, it appears that the initial .net tests are not correctly published. From my test, it seems that only the last publish is conserved.
How can we keep both of them? It's important because it's used in a PR and we don't want ton miss anything.
Here is how we publish the .Net tests:
  - task: PublishTestResults@2
    inputs:
      testResultsFormat: 'NUnit'
      testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-*.xml'
      searchFolder: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/testResults'
      failTaskOnFailedTests: true
      testRunTitle: '.Net tests'
      buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
      buildConfiguration: 'Debug'

and here how we publish the Angular tests:
  - task: PublishTestResults@2
    displayName: 'Publish Angular test results'
    condition: succeededOrFailed()
    inputs:
      searchFolder: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/angular-test/results
      testRunTitle: Angular
      testResultsFormat: JUnit
      testResultsFiles: '**/TESTS*.xml'

How can we ensure both tests results are considered in Azure Devop:

(here you see only the angular tests and its (few) tests. You also see there has been two tests run).
I taught about doing only once the PublishTestResults task, but since they have different format(.net is NUnit, while angular is JUnit), it will not work.
