A Premises License Application by Alpamare UK Ltd has been granted by the Licensing Sub-Committee of Scarborough Borough Council (SBC), despite 316 objections against opening until 2am.
There will be a night club operating at the proposed North Bay Water Park, but it will only operate for six nights of the year. The night club, or Alpamare Pool Party events as the applicant termed them, cannot be held within thirteen days of each other.
The 8am-2am indoor and outdoor licensing application for the Water Park was scaled back during the course of the hearing, in the face of 316 objections. Solicitor Richard Taylor of Gosschalks, acting for Alpamare, opted not to apply for any outdoor licensable activities and scaled back the times for other licensable activities to 10am-10pm.
Two of the three councillors who sat on the Licensing Sub-Committee had previously attended the full council meeting of 9th September 2013, where they voted to loan Benchmark Leisure Ltd £9million of public money to build the North Bay Water Park.
There are questions over the legality of the decision as the political balance of the Licensing Committee and the Licensing Sub-Committees differ greatly than that of the Council. The figures show that the Independent group have had far too many seats whilst the Labour group have not had enough seats for quite some time.
A study of recent Licensing Sub-Committee meetings reveals that a single member of the Labour group has sat on the Sub-Committee just twice since March. During the same period Conservatives have sat 43 times and the Independents 24 times, despite the Labour group having the same number of seats on the council as the Independents until two weeks ago.
There is legislation that dictates there should be political balance on the council's committees, which is mirrored in the council's Constitution. The council's legal officers should intervene to rebalance the committees where required. The officers have been advised of the political balance issues, but there has been no comment from the council thus far.

Q: Changing default directory and default html page for IIS through Powershell I am looking to use Powershell to programatically change the default directory (and the home page - a simple static html) of IIS. For example, I created a new Drive 'D:\' and placed an 'index.html' and I would like IIS to launch this html instead of "C:\inetpub\www\iisstart.htm".
I can do this switch manually by RDP'ing into the machine but I need to achieve this using Powershell.
I am not sure if this is the way to do it but I tried this:
Set-ItemProperty 'IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site\' -name physicalPath -value "D:\"
The command doesn't throw any error but I get 500 - Internal server error.
If I check using another command as below, I get this displayed. But when I type the public IP of this machine the earlier page displaying content of C:\inetpub\www\iisstart.htm vanishes and I get 500 server error.
PS C:\Users\Administrator>  Get-Website -Name 'Default Web Site'

Name             ID   State      Physical Path                  Bindings
----             --   -----      -------------                  --------
Default Web Site 1    Started    D:\                            http *:80:

I am pretty sure there must be a very simple way to do this but I couldn't find out what it is, in spite of hunting for hours together. Your help would be much appreciated!
Please note I am only trying to host this simple static html page for now (and nothing more).

PlotEdit
Main article: List of Dog Days characters
Shinku Izumi is a cheerful and athletic half-Japanese, half-Cornish boy who studies at Kinokawa International School in Japan, and has a normal life everyday until he suddenly got summoned to the alternate world of Flonyard (フロニャルド, Furonyarudo). The people there look no different from humans, except for one thing; they have animal ears and tails. The one who summoned him is Millhiore, the dog-like Princess of the Biscotti Republic (ビスコッティ共和国, Bisukotti Kyōwa-koku), who requested his assistance against the forces of the feline-like Galette Lion Dominion (ガレット獅子団領, Garetto Shishi Danrei).
After responding to Millhiore's plea, he receives a sacred weapon, the Palladion (パラディオン, Paradion), and is appointed as a Hero to fight for Biscotti in a war that unlike the ones in Earth, is waged with special rules and no casualties, in a fashion similar to a sports competition with the purpose to raise funds for the Kingdoms involved, where the winner faction claims a larger sum than the losing side. After winning his first battle for Biscotti, Shinku learns that when a hero is summoned into Flonyard he becomes unable to return to his homeworld, a fact that Millhiore also was unaware of. While the scientists of Biscotti look for a way for him to return home, he decides to keep serving Millhiore as Biscotti's hero for 16 days.
After successfully returning home, Shinku is summoned back time and again (when the conditions were met), to visit Flonyard while embarking freeload adventures with them, accompanied by his cousin and rival athlete Nanami Takatsuki, who is chosen to become Galette's Hero, and his close friend Rebecca Anderson who is also chosen by the squirrel-like Principality of Pastillage (パスティヤージュ公国, Pasutiyāju Kōkoku) to become their hero as well.

The Gospel accounts reveal that Jesus three times plainly predicted He would die and rise again. The disciple's simply did not get it (Lk. 9:45). They didn't think He really meant what He was talking about. What made them miss the significance of the cross? What makes us miss it? Probably the same things.
The Cross of Jesus Christ is perhaps the most misunderstood event in history. So over the next few days lets examine the three accounts in Mark's Gospel and discover why it is we fail to understand the cross of Jesus Christ. The first (Mark 8:31-9:1) tells us that erroneous assumptions are often what make us miss the meaning of Jesus' cross. Look at Jesus' first prediction of His sufferings.
Yet we read that "Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him" (v.32b). "Rebuke" is the same word used earlier to Jesus' rebuke of a demon (1:24-25; 3:11-12). But note that Peter's rebuke brought Jesus' rebuke of Peter: "But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, and said, 'Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's.'" (v.33)!
Peter got it right a minute earlier, when he confessed that Jesus was the Christ. What happened in the span of those few breaths? Nothing, that's the point. Peter said the right words, used the right title, but His assumptions about what those words meant, and what that title signified were all wrong.
Peter could not understand this either. That is why he protested so. That the Messiah, whom he has now recognized, should suffer at the hands of the Roman enemies on a cruel and shameful cross was unthinkable.
Here's the point: Our assumptions about Jesus can make us completely misunderstand the cross.
By now you may have formulated a pretty good idea of what you think God, Jesus, sin, church, and Christianity mean. You have gathered bits and pieces of those assumptions from various places like Sunday School, the church you grew up in, the things your parents said, and other things you have read. You are just like Peter. He had a whole set of assumptions about what "Christ" or "Messiah" meant. None of them had any room for this talk of a dead Messiah! Peter thought "Messiah" or "Christ" meant triumph over oppression, the overthrow of Rome, glory, power, the rise of the state of Israel, and fall of all her enemies. There was no room for a grizzly death on a splittered cross in that picture. His assumptions about Jesus were causing Him to entirely miss the whole point of His arrival among humanity!
A disciple of Jesus Christ is more than someone who has gotten the titles right. A disciple is more than someone who can reply with the correct theological words when asked about Christ. A disciple of Jesus Christ is one who understands and embraces what Jesus means by the title's He takes to Himself and the words He uses to describe Himself.
Don't play down the difference. It is not a slight difference in nuances of meaning. It is, according to Jesus, the difference between being in His camp or Satan's!
What is the answer to such misguided assumptions?
That answer is found in denying the self-interest that is inherent in the way you may have defined Jesus. It is found in taking up your cross (which is not some temporal burden you might need to endure, but an instrument of death). The answer is found in follwoing Jesus in death to self-interest, no matter what assumptions get stepped on.
What assumptions have you held concerning "believing in Jesus"? Maybe something along the lines of: He'll make me happy? "He'll make my marriage work? He'll make me rich? He'll make me successful?
Remember, our assumptions are the first thing that can cause us to miss the meaning of the cross.
14. Realize that no one has ever proven a contradiction.
Do you realize that no one has ever proven the Bible to be in error? Many have claimed to have found error, but later have been forced to admit their own error by new evidence. Archeology is unearthing much new evidence that sheds light on Biblical texts. It has been said that no archeological find has ever proven an error exists in Scripture, but many times they have proven that those claiming a supposed error were the ones in the wrong.
It is fine—even a mark of integrity—to admit when we do not understand something in Scripture. We should concede that there are "difficulties" in the Bible. That is the time to place the difficulty in an "intellectual icebox" where we hold it while we await further evidence for the resolution of the difficulty. Always leave room for God to provide more evidence concerning a difficult passage.
Having reached the end of our journey, what shall we say by way of summary? When others raise what they label as an error in Scripture, we need to realize that all that is demanded of us is the ability to put forward a possible, rational conclusion to the difficulty. We are not obligated to prove a possible interpretation is the right interpretation. Our task is simply to demonstrate that there is a reasonable solution to the difficulty raised. Since Scripture has proven trustworthy for thousands of years we should declare it innocent until proven guilty of error. Being made up of sixty-six books, having been written over a span of 1,600 years, on three different continents, in three different languages, by more than forty authors, the miracle is that the Bible has such a cohesive, sound text that espouses one singular theme!
Let us remember the burden lies with the accuser of Scripture. They must prove the error they claim exists. Let us never forget that ultimately the real struggle with Scripture is a moral one (John 7:17). Mark Twain reportedly said, "It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it's the parts that I do understand"!
Update: You may find the entire text of this series here.
12. Assume harmony in parallel passages unless you have good reason to do otherwise.
There is a vast difference between admitting that there are some "difficulties" in understanding all that the Bible says and conceding that the Bible contains error. I join with the Apostle Peter in admitting that sometimes Scripture is difficult to understand (2 Peter 3:16), but I do not concede that there are errors within its pages. "Difficulties" leave room for further discussion, information, and study. More light on the given "difficulty" will later become available and it would be premature to assume error. The jury is still out on any given alleged discrepancy.
10. Be certain of the original text.
The doctrine of inerrancy claims that it is the original autographs that were without error, not the copies made from them. It is quite possible that copyists have made some minor errors in transcription. This might account for some variation among numbers reported in the Old Testament. 1 Kings 4:26 says that Solomon had 40,000 stalls for horses and 12,000 horsemen. 2 Chronicles 9:25 says that he had 4,000 stalls and 12,000 horsemen. Similarly, 1 Samuel 13:1 says that Saul reigned for 32 years, while Paul says that his reign lasted 40 years (Acts 13:21). In the Hebrew language numbers were recorded by assigning numerical value to each of the letters of the alphabet. Letters were then used in combination to record larger numbers; this made for greater susceptibility for a scribal mistake because the letters were not grouped according to a logical linguistic pattern (a word they were used to seeing), but randomly, to record a given number.
Though there may be other legitimate explanations for these numerical differences, it is possible that we have a scribal error made in transcription. If such minor errors do exist, they do not harm the doctrine of inerrancy, nor lessen our confidence in the accuracy of our Bibles. There are not many of these kinds of difficulties in the Bible. It is said that our current text of the New Testament is 98.33% pure from copyist error. Of the few slight variations not one affects any major doctrine.
11. Face the possibility that you may have misinterpreted one or both passages.
If it appears that the difficulties of a passage are insurmountable, consider the possibility that you have misinterpreted it. Just after I came to faith in Jesus Christ as a Junior High student, I began to read my Bible regularly. Starting at the beginning of the New Testament, I soon came upon Matthew 5:29, "And if your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell." I was stumped. I wanted to please Christ, but this request seemed too harsh! How could I gouge my eye out? How could I handle the pain? How could I explain to my parents what I had done? Fortunately I waited for further information and came to see that I was taking literally what Jesus was using as a literary technique to make a point.
Not long afterward I came to Matthew 16:2-3: "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is read.' And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is read and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?" My conclusion? I understood this to mean that it was wrong to attempt to predict the weather; therefore, I thought I had to stop watching the weather forecast with my father each evening before going to bed. I wanted to do what Christ commanded, but the command, as I interpreted it, seemed a bit arbitrary. I sought further input and discovered that I had misunderstood the point of what Jesus said.
7. Realize that most New Testament quotations of the Old Testament are taken from the Septuagint (LXX).
On occasion someone will cross-reference from the New Testament, where they have just read the Biblical writer quoting from the Old Testament, to the Old Testament reference being cited. They will notice that the quotation may not match exactly what their Old Testament records for that verse. What is going on? We need to realize that the New Testament writer may well have been quoting from the Septuagint. The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament that was completed in the mid 200's B.C. This translation of the Hebrew Scriptures was widely used at the time the New Testament documents were being written. So the author of Scripture in the New Testament may have been quoting form a Greek translation of the Old Testament and when we compare that with our English translation of the Hebrew Old Testament it may not be phrased exactly the same.
Beyond that, it is more than possible that the New Testament writers did not always attempt to quote verbatim when they referred to the Old Testament. Suppose we would make a tape recording of the conversations taking place during a small group Bible study and then compare what we quoted as Scripture with what our actual English versions say. Would the differences invalidate what we said in the Bible study? Would we be found to be liars when we heard ourselves say, "Psalm 35:4 says …" and then discovered it did not match exactly with our version of that passage? No.
8. Realize that when the New Testament quotes from the Old Testament, God, as the ultimate Author, has the right to give His own meaning or interpretation of what He wrote in the first place.
Scripture makes clear that it is of divine origin. This means that God has the freedom to explain what He has said. "But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God" (2 Peter 1:20-21). "All Scripture is God-breathed …" (2 Timothy 3:16).
9. Use the fuller of two accounts to explain the shorter account.
Consider the Biblical accounts that describe the conversation of the Apostle Paul. The actual event is described for us in Acts 9:10-19. Paul's testimony of it before the Jews in Jerusalem is recorded in Acts 22:12-16. Upon reading the two accounts it becomes clear that 9:10-19 is the fuller account and 22:12-16 is an abbreviated account (little wonder Paul abbreviated it, read Acts 22 for the context in which he gave this testimony!). It would only make sense to allow the fuller of the two accounts to explain the shorter one.

I have never seen a zag team with so many 3-pt daggers. Last night it looked like Few was adjusting his usual in-out focus on the paint, to include an equal focus on the Ring of Fire. And I hope this trend continues. For one thing we do not have our usual Big Man distributing from the top of the key, like Batista, Kelly O, Sam,and Karno did. Larson may become such a player this season. In the meantime I like the idea of building our superb 3-pt shooting cadre more into the system, which will open up the paint for Tillie and JWIII this year, like having Karno and Collins did last year.
Cory K, Tillie, Wade, Josh P, Zach N. form the Ring of Fire IMHO, because by the end of the season I think they will have the highest 3pt shooting percentages. Close behind them with good accuracy also are Melson, JWIII, Rui, and possibly J. Jones. They are all taking nearly all good shots with only Norvel forcing a few, but he will get into the Few system eventually and look for the quick pass to others when he is covered, and wait for his shot to come to him on the perimeter. With this many daggers from the perimeter it is not so important to have shooters who can hunt and make their own shot.
I could be wrong, but I would like to see out system more focus on swing passing, and driving into the paint looking for the kick out to 3 pt shooters, looking for the guy who takes the good shot. Not only have I never seen a zag team so deadly from the 3, but can't remember many other teams either.
Norvell needs to square up when he shoots.
We are not driving the ball into the key. Best tactic to collapse the defense of the opponent and then dish. If you sit out in 3 land, that's the recipe for a few bad bad losses. Anyone know why our guards are "key averse"?
This is the biggest weakness on the team...we will live and die by the three without guard penetration.
Of all our 3 pt shooters, we already have three who can drive into lanes well, and two of them are good finishers. They are kispert and tillie, and rui can drive while we wait to see what kind of finisher he becomes. To be a good finisher there must be quick adapting to other players, changing the original plan, and alert to other options as you go in. Perkins, melson, norvell, and JWIII may or may not ever make it. It may be one of those features of great athletes (some even change plans in mid-air) that can be practiced and focused on, but some may not ever have the ability. Sam, marquise carter, meech and possibly pargo come to mind. Its a combination of quick motor reflexes, and a quick mindset to go with it, and to some degree probably inborn.


Whitehorse Enterprise Week 2017 will run from 14-18 August 2017 as part of the Victorian Authorities's Small Business Festival and will feature five major events. Vladimir Putin and the Russian Tax authorities are after more of Lebedev's cash in an apparent attempt to shore up a failing economic system – in no small half attributable to American Frackers having lowered the worth of oil. Conservatives have found ways to package deal and market their ideas in more compelling methods, and their cash is offering extra bang for the buck.
In a way, the crumbling of the economy, folks losing jobs and healthcare has exacerbated the social relations. The workshop is open to any third sector organisation (social enterprise, charity or community group) across the wider Tay Cities Deal area (Dundee, Angus, Perth and Kinross and Fife) looking to develop their customer-going through enterprise for the customer market.
So when they're advised to bus their youngsters to a college throughout city; once they hear an African-American is getting a bonus in landing a good job or a spot in an excellent faculty because of an injustice that they themselves never committed; after they're told that their fears about crime in city neighborhoods are by some means prejudiced, resentment builds over time.
Books like Howard Zinn's "A Individuals's Historical past of the United States should grow to be normal textbooks as a result of they may inform us extra clearly concerning the Hispanics, African Individuals and different minorities. "After the battle, the Eisenhower administration sought to undo the 'creeping socialism' of the New Deal by handing over to private corporations huge offshore oil reserves, government-owned synthetic rubber factories, public lands, pubic power, and atomic installation, some $50 billion value of sources and enterprises.
Hence, selection of a superb supply chain company, whose products you will be advertising turns into one of the crucial important criteria for starting a dropship enterprise. One in all e-sonic's primary weaknesses is the lack of workers with talent in software development, digital media, market analytics, and online management in their major firm of Sonic Information.

Tilly Valentine Drops New Track 'Coins'
Tilly Valentine's demo was originally recorded on the mic in a set of Apple headphones…
It's been quite the journey since for 'Coins'. After graduating from ACM in 2017, Tilly Valentine has been determined to perfect this track, re-recording vocal lines at Metropolis Studios and collaborating with a German producer. We caught up with the ACM Vocals alumna to find out the story behind 'Coins' and to give it an early couple of spins…
"My name is Tilly Valentine, I was born in Oxfordshire and graduated from the Professional Performance Degree at ACM in 2017. I grew up playing instruments and performing in various bands from a young age, but only started performing under my own name about three years ago. I attended The BRIT School when I was 16 which is where I started focusing on music, songwriting and my artistry more seriously."
What's the story behind your new track 'Coins'?
"I wrote this song a few years ago with a producer called Mattis. 'Coins' is a reminder not to lose sight of what's really important. It's so easy to get caught up with social media that it can sometimes make you forget what actually matters, so the song touches on this topic in a playful way. It was one of the first electronic influenced songs I'd written, so in hindsight I suppose it was the start of my journey in terms of finding my sound."
How did you start collaborating with Mattis?
"When I moved to London I lived on my own so I spent most of my spare time writing songs to keep myself entertained. I would write on guitar or piano, but it never sounded the way I imagined it in my head. I decided to search for producers to work with over SoundCloud, which is where I discovered a bunch of great producers including Mattis. He lives in Germany, so we would send each other ideas and voice notes over WhatsApp, record our parts separately, and somehow it all came together!"
Tell us about the recording process for the new single.
"When I first wrote 'Coins', I recorded the original demo on the microphone attached to my Apple earphones. When I decided to release 'Coins' as my debut single, I re-recorded the vocal at Metropolis Studios. I flew out to Germany for the first time where Mattis and I mixed the track together in his studio whilst working on new material, and when I got back to England the song was sent back to Metropolis for mastering."
What does the rest of 2018 have in store?
"Lots of writing, recording and gigging… you may spot me on a few feature tracks too! On September 4th I'm playing a Sofar Sounds gig at a secret location in London. Tickets and more gigs will be announced on my website!"
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to someone about to join ACM?
"Make the most of it; take every opportunity you can to book tutorials to seek advice & feedback from tutors and Industry Link."
Follow Tilly : Facebook // Instagram // Twitter // SoundCloud // Spotify // Apple // YouTube

I might as well go proper far-right and link to this comment by 'namenotnumber' on the Biased-BBC blog. It's a list of tweets by Ezra Levant which highlight some of the hypocrisy surrounding the Tommy Robinson fiasco.
The reason I'm doing so is that although there are undoubtedly legitimate technical reasons for the current Tommy Robinson situation, (his imprisonment and so on, which certain admirable people have defended and taken pains to justify) the individual who blogs as "The Secret Barrister" has let himself/herself/xeself down by using some emotive, nay, pejorative language when recounting the background to the affair.
I can even detect a whiff of disdain in the first sentence:
Today the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) heard the appeal of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson).
The fact that TR uses a pseudonym (and we all know what his real name is) dwelling on it in that particular way seems gratuitous and a little bit rich coming from The Secret Barrister who wishes to remain pseudonymous.
Call me an ignorant fool who's indulging in a bit of whataboutery, but although I see (and sympathise with) Melanie's point, I have to say that if Tommy Robinson jeopardised the trial of the "men" accused of grooming and raping young girls by using pejorative language while live-blogging in the vicinity of the court, what does that say about the TSB and the reporter from the Independent he/she/xe praises :
"The excellent Lizzie Dearden of the Independent who provided a comprehensive live-blog of the hearing from the Royal Courts of Justice,"
...who seems to be doing something very similar (and, arguably, influencing TR's trial.)
Now that the police have been instructed to concentrate on hate-crimes far-right extremists like myself are apprehensively listening for the knock on the door. What hate-crime have I committed? I think being far-right is one.
Didn't Gabriel Gatehouse let his agenda hang out on Newsnight last night? If that's impartiality, I'm a Dutchman.
Labels: Gabriel Gatehouse, Melanie Phillips, Newsnight, The Secret Barrister, Tommy Robinson
Monkey Brains 19 July 2018 at 14:31
Gatehouse made a fool of himself by trying to show up a woman who correctly said what Sharia law is in relation to the legal age of consent,claiming he had superior knowledge to her (the woman was clearly not that well educated or confident to engage in such debate on camera, but she was right). Gatehouse claimed that this law was not enacted anywhere in the Middle East. Really? What about Iran for starters? And even if the "formal" law in many of these countries does not reflect Sharia, that is not the same as saying that Sharia isn't operating in those countries - it often is, and is tolerated by the authorities.
Did Melanie Phillips admit to an interest, in that her husband Joshua Rosenberg interviewed Lord Leveson about contempt of court. Leveson was the first judge slated to hear the appeal. Without explanation that was changed. But only after it came out that in that interview with JR he explicitly stated Tommy Robinson was clearly, in his opinion, guilty of the offence. The interesting thing is that Leveson didn't seem, initially, to think that disqualified him from hearing the case! Such is the quality of our judges.

TRUMP'S WHITE WORKING-CLASS SUPPORTERS
[Donald] Trump's white working class supporters — who provide somewhere between 58 percent and 62 percent of his votes, according to data from NBC and ABC polls — have suffered a stunning loss of relative status over the past 40 years. Their wages have stagnated or declined; the ascendance of minorities has threatened their cultural dominance; and the growth of an increasingly large and affluent upper middle class has pushed goods and services once viewed as theirs by right beyond their reach.
Thomas B. Edsall, "How Falling Behind the Joneses Fueled the Rise of Trump," New York Times, July 7, 2016, Opinion Pages.
MANY ESSENTIAL EXPENDITURES HAVE BECOME UNAFFORDABLE
For those in the bottom third of the income distribution, even essential expenditures have become unaffordable: the $7,000 to $10,000 average cost of a funeral, the $33,865 average cost of a new car, the $18,000 average annual cost of child care.
Crucially important is the fact that rising inequality constitutes a double whammy. It raises the cost of sought-after goods and it increases the economic gap between the working class and the affluent, spurring nostalgia for what was (even if what was really wasn't).
WEALTHY PULLED THE RUG OUT
"In effect, the increase in the resources commandeered by the overclass has pulled the rug out from under the once upwardly mobile white working class."
WEALTHY CAN BID UP THE PRICES
Thomas Edsall, writing in the New York Times, noted: "Growing income inequality in the U.S. has meant that, as those at the top are able bid up the price of valued goods like housing and access to good schools, those in lower groups have struggled to maintain their positions." [quoting an essay titled, "Keeping Up With the Joneses," presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association by Neil Fligstein, a professor of sociology at Berkeley, Pat Hastings, a Ph.D. candidate at Berkeley, and Adam Goldstein, a professor of sociology at Princeton University.]
NO MONEY FOR A CAR REPAIR BILL
A May 2015 Federal Reserve report provides a window into the financial condition of many in the working class. It found that 47 percent of Americans do not have the resources to cover a $400 bill for such unanticipated costs as a car repair or a health emergency. They would be forced to borrow from friends or family, to sell something, to go to a payday loan company or to add to their credit card debt.
U.S. MEDIAN INCOME IS $53,567
In July 2014, USA Today estimated that in the United States, where the median household income was $53,567, the minimum annual cost of living the American dream was $130,357.
BRITISH EXIT FROM EUROPEAN UNION RATTLES WEALTHY
A measure of consumer sentiment dropped sharply in July, as wealthy Americans were rattled by a decision by the U.K. to leave the European Union. The University of Michigan said . . . its consumer sentiment index fell to 89.5 in July, a three-month low, from 93.5 in June. Economists polled by MarketWatch anticipated a reading of 92.5.

A cold, wet day in Kyoto. I did not want to be here but since I was, I decided to go to Ryoanji, a few blocks from the hotel where I was booked. Because it was cold winter rain, I took a taxi instead of walking. The taxi driver was happy I was American. I sat in the back seat for the few moments it took. Several times I caught his eye in the rear view mirror, he always smiled. When I got out of the taxi handing him money, he waved it away. "American. Stranger. Cold."..I could not in honor leave money after that. I bowed deeply to him as he drove off. I hoped he would look in his mirror and see.
I was alone on the viewing platform overlooking the dry garden. I stood looking in silent awe. On top of the wall was a row of sparrows. All fluffed out, eyes bright with curiosity, they watched this Western stranger move from one end of the platform to the other until I felt "right" and sat down. A few moments later, a young man came in and sat down close by. I glanced in curiosity and he smiled,. We sat there for an hour or so breathing in the perfume of the past, breathing out the steamy breath of the present. The breaths mingled with the cold air and became absorbed. The sparrows became restless, the air turned sweet. I knew that smell – snow! Soon snow flakes joined the rain. I sensed the young man was looking at me. He pointed up and around the garden – hatsuyuki – first snow, he said and sweetly smiled at the sky. It was time to go. Stiffly I began to rise and he put out his hand to help me. We walked in silence to the parking lot where I would summon another taxi. He motioned me to follow him and without fear, I did. With gentle courtesy he opened his car and brought out a thermos. He handed me the cap and poured hot tea into it. I sipped quickly, thawing. A taxi pulled in the lot, trolling. He hailed the taxi for me and put me in speaking to the driver. I gave the driver my hotel and was taken there. I paid him and went inside. I headed for a hot shower and room service. I blessed my new friends who gave without asking.
Today is Open Link Night at dVerse Poetics and it is #150!!!!! We do not submit to a prompt but rather, submit a poem of our choice. I have done a haibun – 俳文 – for first snow – 初雪 Please come join us. Submit your own poetry and read the offerings of very differently talented writers.
Deep winter and total blackness of the night. The stillness of the night awakens me as if it had been a deafening clap of thunder.
I lie under the quilt, warm and cozy but….something in the atmosphere beckons. I change into jeans and heavy sweater, socks and shoes and open the front door. Since going to bed, it has begun to snow.
Ignoring the cold, I step out onto our front porch. Miraculous transformation! Smooth glowing white covering the yard. Against the blacker than the black night trees, silvery white snow has clumped into vees of little branches – night blooming winter magnolias they seem to be.
I carefully go down the steps and into the yard, turning slowly to see all around. The air is cold and sweet with the perfume of snow and it is so silent…so very silent I can hear the snow falling – a slight hissing sound as tiny flakes strike against each other, slough off from each other, group together and fall.straight.down.
I look up at the sky and can see the snow clouds against the black of the sky. I lift my face – bit of instant fire touching my cheeks, lips, eyelids….I hold out my hands.
The stillness, the snow, the silence. I am no longer here but there – years past on the viewing platform at Ryoanji. On the wall sit hundreds of suzume – sparrows. Like me, they are watching the rocks in the 枯山水, karesansui. Feathers fluffed against the cold, tiny bright eyes seeing all. I watch the rocks, silent, down jacket pulled close against the cold. The air becomes sweet and before the suzume begin to flutter, I know…snow. I feel them on my face before I see the flakes and soon, they stick to the gravel, to the moss around the base of the rocks. The birds flutter off to more sheltered spaces but a few stay for the crumbs the humans leave behind.
Ryoanji and hatsuyuki. I stay until the moss is white and the suzume have all left. Straight down and fast, the snow falls. I stand and bow the long, deep bow of deepest respect. As I leave, it comes together for me – impermance, the beauty of imperfection, the deep sadness at the passing of things – the snow that melts, the birds that fly away…and the rocks that stay behind.
Silence drifts to cover rocks.
to the place, their place.
but it was not the first snow – hatsu yuki.
She looked out her office window.
was a ghost against the glass.
falling petals of white sakura.
Light, then heavy as the wind swirled.
deeper on the parked cars.
A car pulled beside her.
He parked and joined her.
rocks like a white shawl.
until I could no longer endure the cold.
It is my heart home.
He looked down without asking.
the snow petals falling on them.
She looked at the snow.
He looked at the snow on her hair.
In silence they finished the walk.
She smiled, a small and wry smile.

Esprit Elevates Supply Chain Sustainability Commitments

In making progress on its supply chain sustainability goals, fashion retailer Esprit is focused on two things—people and the planet.
The company recently released its third sustainability report, where it shared a new holistic strategy that incorporates environmental and social aspects into its ongoing efforts. Along with the updated strategy, Esprit committed itself to four major imperatives—improving products and materials, transparency, fostering a cleaner supply chain and paying fair living wages. The company's new strategy and will raise the bar on its sustainability commitments and contribute to a more circular fashion ecosystem.
"Last year we were able to achieve significant progress in our efforts toward an even stronger anchoring of the sustainability principle in our company. In this way, we get closer to our long-term goal of integrating sustainability into all business processes," Esprit group CEO Jose Manuel Martínez Gutiérrez said. "On the basis of the updated sustainability strategy and our concrete commitments, we are confident that we will have an even bigger impact."
Esprit, which operates 666 stores and 20 e-commerce shops worldwide, has achieved significant progress in all four imperatives over the past two years, due to its strategic partnerships with non-profit partners including Action Collaboration, CanopyStyle, the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) and Transformation (ACT). In addition to these partnerships, the retailer aims to expand upon the four imperatives below, while upholding ethical and sustainable measures in its business operations and greater supply chain.
Choosing more sustainable materials
For materials and products, Esprit is working on increasing its share of organic cotton and developing more eco-conscious products. After receiving multiple industry certifications, including the Organic Cotton Standard, the Recycled Claim Standard and the Responsible Wool Standard, Esprit wants to boost its sustainable sourcing and animal welfare initiatives.

Inside Esprit's California Comeback
Even though Esprit is already sourcing 10 percent sustainable cotton for its apparel and joined the BCI last year, the company wants to have 50 percent of its cotton derive from more sustainable sources by 2021. Esprit, which is a fur-free company, is working with Textile Exchange to develop the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and to have 50 percent of its virgin sheep wool be sourced according to guidelines in the RWS by 2022. The retailer will also continue to ensure 100 percent of its feathers are sourced from companies that comply with the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) will also remain a crucial component of Esprit's sustainability mission, by ensuring that more recycled materials are used in Esprit's apparel production process.
Fostering transparency
To increase transparency, Esprit, in accordance with the Human Rights Watch Transparency Pledge, released a list of its direct subcontractors and suppliers. The company verifies the social performance of all of its suppliers annually, and evaluates suppliers' sustainability efforts with a transparent supplier scorecard system. Launched in March, the scorecard system evaluates suppliers for their overall performance, looking at things like social standards, environmental standards and transparency. Esprit's scorecard system weighs on the aforementioned factors and more traditional metrics, like on-time delivery, quality and price.
Making supplier lists public is also another key transparency milestone for Esprit. Last year, the retailer published its Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier list, enabling the public to see where its apparel was manufactured. Esprit said it's working toward 100 percent progress in updating its map of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers every six months, enabling all of its Bangladesh suppliers to implement safety improvements by the end of the year, and having all suppliers in the Business Social Compliance Initiative program (BSCI) system earn higher social compliance ratings. What is a C rating? Is that good or bad? What's the scale? The BSCI is a supply chain management system that enables companies, including suppliers, to improve social compliance in their supply chains. The system assesses companies according to international labor standards, including International Labor Organization (ILO) declarations. The scale evaluates companies' social compliance efforts from an A (outstanding) to E (unacceptable) based on these global social compliance guidelines. As part of its goals, Esprit would like to have all suppliers in the BSCI program achieve a C (acceptable) rating or higher by the end of June 2018.

A cleaner, ethical supply chain
A cleaner supply chain is also part of Esprit's new sustainability agenda. While most of the company's wet process facilities are regularly evaluated, Esprit wants to have 50 percent of its wet process facilities audited for chemical management and environmental performance by the end of June 2018. To further this goal, the company launched a new auditing and training program for wet processing facilities to make the printing, dyeing and finishing process more sustainable. As a member of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Group (ZDHC), Esprit is also working on its Detox Commitment—which involves eliminating hazardous chemicals, including dimethyl formamide (DMF) and implementing more water-based polyurethane (PU) in its products. The company also wants 100 percent of its wet processors to publish wastewater data by the end of April 2018—a goal made possible by using the Higg Index Brand Module for supply chain sustainability.
Establishing a fair living wage
As wages in the garment sector remain too low for most workers' basic needs, Esprit is increasing the living wage for its workers. The company signed a memorandum of understanding with the non-profit IndustriALL Global Union to form Action, Collaboration, Transformation (ACT). ACT, a multi-stakeholder platform that works to increase industry-wide collective bargaining in apparel producing nations, will help Esprit's workers have a say in their wages and is expected to encourage buying practices that enable workers to earn enough to live and support their families moving forward.

First thing to consider. Of little use to take the offer of a 1GB stick to only U.S. $ 10, if that space is not enough to meet the needs of data storage or transfer. The pen drives fill up fast, because not only serve to keep copies of important files, but also for carrying your digital life: from the collection of favorite music to the holiday photos. So it always pays to choose a higher capacity memory you can buy. There are up to 64GB (from U.S. $ 120 in USA).
The standard USB 2.0 is faster and, in turn, ensures backward compatibility. That is, it can be used without problem on a computer with USB 1.0 port.
But beyond the norm, not all memories copied and read data at the same speed. For example, higher capacity are slower to copy data in memory to read it. And to make matters worse, it is often difficult to compare the speed between memories of different brands, because some manufacturers indicate the speed in megabytes per second (Mbps), while others identify with the letter X (200X, for example).
Moreover, in practice two USB sticks of the same speed can have an uneven performance. Sometimes it does not hurt to read consumer comments posted on forums and other websites. Another point to consider is that ReadyBoost capable USB memories serve to increase the RAM of the PC with Windows Vista. And they are very fast memories.
Small caps keep the USB flash drives clean and safe when frenzied dance memory in your pocket or purse. But, as is easy to lose or break these covers, good designs able to adjust on the opposite end.
When you want to hang the keychain memory should choose models with metal ring, because the plastic will break easily.
There pendrives thin and others thick. In no case are cumbersome to carry, but the fatties can have problems sharing space compu USB ports with other devices. In particular, on notebooks. It is best to choose memories thick thin before.

She says she needs to go to the toilet so I get up off the sand to take her because it's across the road at the surf club and she has to walk through the car park all by herself and find her way to the female bathrooms up the stairs and negotiate waitresses and drunk people and cars.
I follow her slowly over the dunes, then I lose sight of her.
Inside the surf club she's nowhere to be seen. Walking into the bathroom the cubicle door is closed but unlocked. A sign to me. Come in. I'm here. I go in and the smell is pungent but her and all her smells are never offensive. Not to a mother. She asks me to wipe her bottom and even though she is six and doesn't need help anymore her tummy is a bit upset so I help. Still her Mummy.
Thinking I might as well take advantage of being so close to ablutions I sit down myself. She waits for a moment then goes out to wash her hands. Usually we always stay in the cubicles together.
Years of frustration have evaporated up toilet walls when she wouldn't let me leave to wash my hands or just pee in the next cubicle. 'I'm not far away' I used to think. Sheesh. Just give me a little slack here.
But this time she leaves. I hear the tap go on as she washes both hands properly with soap because she's thorough like that. The paper dispenser grunts as she wrenches a sheet. She hates having wet hands.
Then, from behind my closed door I hear it.
Back down the long corridor, through the drunken crowd and leering surfer dudes, past the waitresses, down the steps, across the road, through the car park and over the sand dunes and back to her friends.
We are not the only two girls in the cubicle anymore.
She isn't waiting for me.
She doesn't need to hold my hand.
She isn't attached to me.
Her friends are more interesting.
My heart slams into my oesophagus and I want to cry.
I should be grateful I can finally pee in private.
But I'm not. I'm overwhelmed that this is the start of me not being the centre of her world.
All her life her shyness has seen her slip between my skirts. And the neediness has annoyed me at times. Don't be so reticent I have thought, gently pushing her out, which only forced her further into the folds.
Yet now, this night, she's playing a game in the dunes with her mates in the wildest of beaches and it's left a small hole in my heart. She's not looking around. Soon she will not want me to be visible to her. She'll want me miles away safely not looking, not knowing, not hearing anything. I'll cramp her style. My skirts will cramp her style. She already hates it when I get song lyrics wrong.
Any shyness she faces will be her own, not mine to protect or fix.
I've loved having her unconditional love, when her little hand slips into mine. Yet suddenly her childhood is racing ahead of me.
It's not mine to know everything about anymore.
And slowly she's riding away from me.
Which is exactly how it's meant to be.
Yes, totally get it. Ian wants to walk to school so he can be by himself. Apparently I'm embarrassing. I've asked what I do that is embarrassing and he says 'you'll just call me sweetheart, or talk to my friends or something'. Hmmm … show's how wrong you can be, I thought those were good things. Breaks my heart. Tom is much cuddlier and some days I just want him not to be always crawling onto my lap. But boy I know I'm going to miss it.
Thanks Kate. I think you're right about that.


I have been using Flooring Town Group's floor installation service for the past couple of years. I have several branch offices that need floors installed. After the excellent job that they had done installing floors in my corporate office, I decided to stick with them to get floors installed in my other branch offices. They gave excellent customer support in terms of making the selection easier for me with their suggestions and advice. Flooring Town Group has always been there for me to resolve my queries and even suggest and advice what would be appropriate.
I am sincerely thankful to Flooring Town Group for doing a superb job of installing the wooden floors in my home. It was truly a pleasure working with you. Ever since Flooring Town Group has installed engineered floors in our premises, we have been complimented by everybody visiting our home. Once again, I am truly thankful to Flooring Town Group for their excellent customer service.
I have been using the services of Flooring Town Group for many years and I am awestruck with the quality of their timely service delivery. I have been actively looking for flooring products for a long time and after watching Flooring Town Group's demo, I was able to take a decision and go with it. The flooring product was worth every penny I paid for it and the support provided by Flooring Town Group was superb. I will definitely have Flooring Town Group install wooden floors in my office too.

A Pair of Keepers
I am delighted to report the publication of two books that I have been eager for some time to see appear between hard covers, having had the opportunity to know a bit about them beforehand, and to have had communication with each of the authors as they were works-in-progress. Happily, they are everything I expected they would be, gracefully written in both instances, wisely reasoned, and a genuine pleasure to read.
Hamlet's BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age, by William Powers; Harper, 267 pages, $24.99. A former staff writer and media critic for the Washington Post, William Powers has written extensively on every manner of communications technology, developing the premise of this book--and coming up with the splendid title--while a Fellow at Harvard University's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press in 2006. Powers is exceedingly savvy when it comes to navigating his way about the digital world, and while he is not about to abandon its wondrous applications in any way, shape, or form, he has chosen to step back a bit, take a deep breath, and pay attention to the wisdom of our cultural forebears. "The interior struggle" of "information overload," he writes--the phrase was presciently coined in the 1970s by Alvin Toffler--"is having a dramatic impact in our personal and family relationships." Constant connectivity with the entire world--text messages, cellphones, video streams--leads him to ask the fundamental question: "What is the point anyway?" This is neither a preachy polemic nor a boring diatribe, and while he calls on Plato, Shakespeare, Thoreau, and others for guidance, he does so with style, humility and elan. "Every space is what you make it," he concludes. "But in the end, building a good life isn't about where you are. It's about how you decide to think and live. Place your index finger on your temple and tap twice. It's all in there." Links to various reviews and broadcast interviews are available on Powers' website.
The Groaning Shelf and Other Instances of Book Love, by Pradeep Sebastian; Hachette India, 295 pages, 12.99 GBP ($20 US). A well-known literary columnist in India whose many pieces for major publications are available on the Internet, Pradeep Sebastian has entered the books about books genre in impressive fashion, with a very nice collection of his erudite pieces on a striking variety of subjects, many of them previously published in different form, though a few--including a generous profile of yours truly he calls "The Collector of Collectors"--appearing here for the first time. How can a reader of the Fine Books blog not be simpatico with someone who makes this admission: "Holding a book but not actually reading it gave me time (and put me in the mood) to reflect on the act of reading and the physicality of the book; the book as material object." Or someone whose favorite Sunday afternoon ritual is take volumes off his groaning shelves and rearrange them in a new order? "Should I abandon the by-author arrangement and categorize them by subject matter?" Very heavy concerns, indeed. The book has just been released by the India division of Hachette, parent company of Houghton Mifflin and Harcourt. It should be available in U.S. outlets shortly; for now it can be ordered through Amazon.UK.

Q: Pass a list from php or xmlhttp.responseText to javascript I have a list in javascript that is to be changed by the content of a database when the user clicks a link or slides a bar. I currently use a xmlhttp request to fetch a php page which generates the list.
I have a static list working in this form:
var mark_list = [
{ "EntID" : 3, "x" : 100, "y" : 400},
];

I tried to have the php page generate the { "EntID" : 3, "x" : 100, "y" : 400} and set mark_list equal to responseText but I believe that's just a string. I'm struggling to find a way to get this new list into the variablie.
Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Kallum

A: Make sure the browser has a JSON object by including the json script from here: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js
It will defer to the native browser JSON object if available, and if not, will add it so that this functionality is available in browsers that don't currently support it.
Then in your code, after you receive the output from the PHP script, run this:
var mark_list = JSON.parse(responseText);

Based on the output from the PHP script, you may need to do this:
var stuff = JSON.parse(responseText);
var mark_list = [stuff];

This will convert the JSON string the PHP returns into an actual javascript object.
In your PHP code you can do something like this:
$output = array(
    array(
        'EntId' => 3,
        'x' => 100,
        'y' => 400,
    ),
);

echo json_encode($output);

Then you can use the var mark_list = JSON.parse(responseText); option in your JavaScript.

A: responseText will indeed just be a text represented by a string, so the way you are outputting it right now won't just do the trick all on its own. There are basically two ways you can do this:

*

*In your javascript, you parse the output the server is giving you. This can be done onn a pure string in whatever way you feel like doing it. For example, you could write javascript to parse the format you gave with curly braces and a colon based syntax. Alternatively, you could use another format (like XML) which will reduce the work a little, but will still leave the interpreting of the output for you to do in the javascript.

*You can output to a format used to describe objects and lists. JSON would be the big example of such a format. If you output in JSON, you will get something that resembles the format you used above (JSON stands for Javascript Object Notation and is based on parts of the syntax of javascript) and all you will have to do to be able to use it is to get to the data you want to get to. You can use JSON.parse() for this on most browsers, but an alternative with more widespread support is jQuery's jQuery.parseJSON() (for which you would use jQuery, which you should also provide in that case)

UCP Cabinet Minister Says Jason Kenney's Government is Going to Give Alberta a 'Giant Enema'
Grant Hunter suggests UCP legislative agenda will be like a 'giant enema'
November 24, 2019	Share Tweet
One of Jason Kenney's cabinet ministers is defending the highly controversial Bill 22 by warning Alberta to brace for a "giant enema" from Kenney's UCP government.
Bill 22, which Kenney's government rammed into law despite a widespread outcry, shuts down the Office of the Election Commissioner and fires the man leading an open investigation into illegal donations to Kenney's party that has already issued over $200,000 in fines.
The legislation also transfers control of the $18 billion pension fund that belongs to teachers to a provincial agency that will direct how money is invested — critics accuse Kenney of wanting to use teachers' retirement savings as a "huge slush fund to finance an agenda that has not yet been articulated to the public."
But Grant Hunter, Kenney's Minister of "Red Tape Reduction," told the Legislature this week he thinks critics are giving his boss' plan a bum rap.
In fact, the minister suggested anyone who is "going to lose their minds" over what Kenney's doing to pensions through Bill 22 are not going to enjoy the "giant enema" Kenney's government is planning to give Alberta:
"Now Mr. Speaker, if they're going to lose their minds over what we're doing in this session over one bill, I can't imagine how they're going to handle the fact that we're about to give this government a giant enema."
The minister of red tape reduction also noted it's not just teachers and public sector unions who are losing their minds over Bill 22 — he says his own father is losing his mind over Bill 22 too.
Explaining that his "father is a retired teacher," Hunter told the Legislature that "when my father and I talked about this, he was concerned."
"He said: 'What's going on? I'm retired. I need to make sure that my
pension is still going to be there'."
Hunter says he told his father not to worry and blamed the "liberal media" for having "stoked the fire" on the issue.
The UCP minister previously compared the Alberta NDP to the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 300,000 people, called raising the minimum wage a "communist" idea and praising the "superior stock" or residents in his hometown of Cardston — a statement he suggested had "Aryan undertones."
Last weekend, Hunter and two other UCP MLAs attended a political conference in Red Deer that featured controversial far-right and pro-separatist speakers.

Home » Debbie Wins TWO Awards at Womenspire18!
Chwarae Teg, Wales's leading gender equality charity, once again celebrated the achievements of women from all backgrounds and stages in life or work across Wales. Womenspire recognises women for every aspect of life, from personal achievements to outstanding contribution.
This year's ceremony was held in the beautiful Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff. The event attracted a full house and was filmed by ITV Wales.
Members of FTWW's North Wales group made the trek knowing that Debbie was a finalist in the 'Community Activist' category, which made the evening even more exciting.
"Chwarae Teg Community Activist Award goes to Deborah! Deborah is the founder and CEO of FTWW: Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales.
Slightly In Shock – 2!
As the evening progressed, it became apparent that there was an award of which we hadn't been aware: the last one of the evening, for an overall winner and 'Champion of the Year'.
Low and behold, FTWW's CEO was deemed the winner, "Our 2018 #Womenspire18 overall Champion of the Year is Deborah", something we were absolutely not expecting to hear.
To be given such an accolade is a fantastic achievement for both Debbie herself – and, in her words, more importantly, 'for the girls and women across Wales living with chronic, often invisible, illness'.
We are thrilled to see Debbie getting recognition for all the amazing work she has done since creating FTWW. She continues to make a real difference, empowering women across Wales to have their voices heard when it comes to their health. Long may it continue!
We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who nominated her, and Chwarae Teg for selecting her as their Champion.
