MSA provides care packages to Baltimore homeless
November 14, 2016 Associate Editor
By: Nick Mason, Staff Writer
The Towson University Muslim Student Association hosted a"Feeding Our Neighbors" event Nov. 11 that provided 110 care packages of clothing, food and hygienic products to Baltimore's homeless.
The event was split into two, between packaging and perishables in the Center for Student Diversity. MSA's Community Service Chair Lyric Harris organized the event and had students donate clothing in advance so that it could be sorted.
"We had more people going downtown last year, but this year we had many more packing," said Harris.
The CSD's meeting area was filled with nearly 50 students during the packaging portion of the event.
Here, people made fresh turkey sandwiches and packed paper bags with water, chips, apples, bananas, toothbrushes, feminine products and other useful goods.
Once the packages were put together, the students took multiple cars and met at St. Vincent de Paul church downtown, where over 50 homeless people meet to receive aid from various groups and individuals. The church is a safe place for them with a front park area and benches for resting.
"Some people need help, are disabled, ineligible or unable to work," TU student Ali Ramjan said. "They need food to survive so we help them as much as we can. It could be me. I could be one of them and maybe someone else would help me."
People from other local universities met the TU MSA members at the church. University of Maryland College Park student Sarah Tayel had worked here before distributing clothing last month.
"It feels good and you're seeing your work first-hand whereas you can donate money and not know where it goes," Tayel said. "I encourage people to come out to this. It's not just limited to Muslims, the MSA or ethnic groups, it's a humanity thing."
Saad Mahmood joined Towson's MSA chapter this semester.
"I feel really good," he said. "It's not just about giving food…It's about getting out of your bubble and comfort zone and doing it, especially if you have the resources."
Other students such as Saleaha Pirzada have delivered items to the homeless at St. Vincent's four times this year.
"If I was in that situation, I would want someone to help me," Pirzada said. "I just feel like it's something you're supposed to do."
Non-Muslim student Fionna Sunpongco has helped others before through organizations, but never person-to-person.
"It's different than what I usually do," Sunpongco said. "I wanted to come out because it's winter and it's harder for people to cope this time of year. They deserve a little attention."

Q: overwriting a text file in python I am currently writing a code to keep track of, add to, and reset an arbitrary unit of time for my campaign, the problem I am having is the number keeps adding on to what is already written.  so if i were to start at 5, and try to reset it to 0, it would change to 50 instead, appending instead of overwriting.  How is it that I would fix this, or is there more steps I need to make this work?
my reset program is as follows:
time=open('timefile.txt','r+')
time.write("0")
time.close()

A: With following code, you don't need to close the file:
with open('timefile.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write("0")

A: time=open('timefile.txt','w')
time.write("0")
time.close()

You are currently opening it for read-write, with the file pointer at the beginning of the text. Open it only for writting to overwrite the contents.

Q: Lose some FDs in 2nf normalization? Suppose we have R=(A,B,C,D) and FDs are {B->C, C->D}. The only candidate key is AB, then A and B are prime; C and D are not prime.
B->C breaks the 2NF requirements because is a partial dependency. So we break the relation into R1(A,B,D) and R2(B,C). But now C->D is lost! Am I wrong? So this breaking is not "good"?

A: Yes, the breaking is not good.
The reason is that you FDs (B->C and C->D) also imply B->D. So B->CD (both B->C and B->D) break 2NF and should be used for the table breaking.
So, the relations, in order to be 2NF should be: (A,B) and (B,C,D).
(and then the C->D can be used to break the second further for 3NF.)


Inside AdWords: Google Display Network series: Measure everything. Optimize relentlessly.
Google Display Network series: Measure everything. Optimize relentlessly.
In the last three weeks, we showed you tools to effectively plan your display advertising campaigns, develop compelling ads, and target your ads to reach precisely the right audience across millions of both popular and niche sites in the Google Display Network (GDN). In today's final post, we'll dive into measuring and improving your online display campaigns with powerful, free tools that bring accountability to your display advertising investment.
On the GDN, you have real-time reporting for every site and URL where your ads ran. You can view basic metrics like impressions, clicks, clickthrough rate (CTR) and cost, or, by implementing our free AdWords Conversion Tracking, you can measure conversion metrics to determine your campaign's return on investment (ROI). We also recently introduced viewthrough conversion reporting to provide a more complete picture of your display campaign performance.
With rich site- and URL-level data like this, you can see exactly what's working and respond on the fly. This means you can increase bids for sites generating lots of sales or decrease bids for, or exclude, poorer-performing sites.
With Conversion Tracking enabled, you can also unleash our bid management tool, Conversion Optimizer, to help increase your conversions while decreasing your cost-per-acquisition (CPA). One of the most powerful bid management tools available, the average campaign using Conversion Optimizer sees a 21% lift in conversions with a 14% lower CPA*.
Your campaign's performance is heavily influenced by the experience visitors have on your site.Google Analytics is a free tool that helps you measure user behavior on your site, providing metrics like time spent on your site, page views, traffic sources, bounce rate, and more. Using this information, you can identify areas on your site you need to improve to increase conversion rates and ultimately, your ROI. Although Google Analytics works independently of Conversion Tracking, it's possible to automatically import your Analytics data into Conversion Tracking, enabling you to consolidate reporting and optimization across these measurement tools.
While Google Analytics tells you what's happening on your site, Website Optimizer empowers you to change it. You can show your visitors multiple versions of a page or elements on a page to test which are most effective, thereby getting more of your visitors to convert into customers.
Finally, research shows that the impact of display ads extends beyond immediate clicks and conversions. After seeing display ads, many users search for the advertised product or brand, or visit the advertiser's web site days or weeks after having seen a display ad, even if they didn't click on it.
Recently, we launched Campaign Insights to help you measure the impact of your display campaigns beyond immediate clicks and conversions. Campaign Insights calculates the incremental lift in both online search activity and website visits that result from a display ad campaign. By comparing a data set of thousands of advertisers who saw a particular display ad with an equivalent group that did not see the ad, we can determine the incremental change directly attributable to the display campaign. With this insight, you can establish your display campaign performance, beyond just immediate clicks.
This post ends our series on the Google Display Network. Over the past four weeks, we hope you've discovered new ways Google can help you run successful display campaigns. For more on the GDN, please visit our microsite.
* Analysis compares performance of Conversion Optimizer campaigns over the course of a year with a control set of campaigns and represents the average impact of Conversion Optimizer. Actual impact may vary form campaign to campaign.

Ecclesiastes - the Greek rendering of the Hebrew Koheleth, which means "Preacher." The old and traditional view of the authorship of this book attributes it to Solomon.

end.

A: VCL has limitations:

*

*All forms have to be running in main thread of the application;

*Forms can be in Dlls only if you build both Exe and Dll with run-time packages in the same version of Delphi.

If you can't meet this limitations, than you should create windows in Dll without VCL. For example in pure WinAPI or with a help from KOL (somewhere should be port to newer versions of Delphi). Another option is to use scripting engines like DWScript: you embed scripting engine in main Exe. Then your Dll exports a function that returns script text. This script creates necessary forms and processes all events itself or links them to functions inside Dll. This way you will meet all limitations of the VCL.

Legislature 2011
The 2011-2012 Massachusetts Legislative Session
A Preview
With the swearing in ceremonies over, the 2011-12 State Legislature is in full session and the deadline for filling bills is Friday, January 21. The following is a preview of what to expect on Beacon Hill these next two years concerning traditional family values.
Though the State House remains solidly in the hands of liberals, the results of the November elections have enhanced the number of conservatives, especially in the House. Having these new legislators gives MFI and our allies renewed confidence as we lay out our offensive goals.
Here are the bills that we will work to pass into law this session:
Students Religious Freedom – MFI has filed a bill protecting the religious freedom of students in schools. While students already have the right to express their religious beliefs in school, many teachers and administrators are uninformed or misinformed on these rights, confused about the so-called "separation of church and state." This law will codify the individual rights of students and compel the state to inform school districts of these rights.
Parental Notification and Consent – Sponsored by Representative Brad Jones of North Reading, this is an updated parental notification and consent bill. It changes the policy from "opt out" to "opt in," allowing parents to sign their children up for elective sex education instead of having to take them out. It also provides a "conscience clause" for teachers and administrators to prevent them from being forced to participate in anything that violates their religious beliefs.
Protecting Minors from Harmful Materials in School – Schools have custody of our children for the better portion of their waking lives in their formative years and should not be allowed, with impunity, to disseminate obscenity, child pornography, or matter that by definition is "harmful to minors." Current obscenity, child pornography and "harmful to minors" laws exempt "schools, museums and libraries," providing an "affirmative defense" against prosecution for violating those laws.
Laura's Law (A Woman's Right to Know) – Named after Laura Smith, the young woman who died at the hands of an abortionist in Hyannis, MFI is partnering with Massachusetts Citizens for Life in championing this women's health bill. A woman considering abortion should be provided with the most accurate information available concerning the physical, psychological and emotional risks and complications associated with abortion. She should also be given a 24-hour waiting period between her request for an abortion and the scheduling of the procedure, offered an ultrasound of her preborn child, and informed of alternatives to abortion, as well as the services available should she decide to not abort the child.
This is a women's health care issue. Any facility in which abortions are performed should be held to the same medical standards as other surgical offices. Women should be treated by an abortion provider under the same careful scrutiny of personnel, procedures and facilities that applies to other surgical providers.
State Partial Birth Abortion Ban – This bill, sponsored by Massachusetts Citizens for Life (MCFL), would prohibit a baby in the process of being born from being deliberately killed.
Sex Selection Abortion Ban – This bill, sponsored by MCFL, would prohibit performing an abortion when it is known that the abortion is for the purpose of sex selection.
Strengthening the state Baby Safe Haven Law – Sponsored by Representative Steven Levy of Marlborough, this bill would allow a woman to call 911 if she were not able to get to a hospital or other location to safely and anonymously give up her baby.
Our opponents and their friends at the State House will continue to push a radical agenda on issues ranging from the "Bathroom Bill" to funding for programs that push the normalization of homosexuality and abortion in public schools. Governor Deval Patrick has been reenergized by his re-election victory, and the leadership in both the House and Senate remain solidly anti-family. MFI and our allies will be playing very serious defense against some extremely dangerous bills.
Here are the bills we will actively oppose this session:
"Bathroom Bill" – The homosexual special interest groups have pledged once again to devote significant resources to a bill that would normalize transvestism or so-called "transgenderism." If adopted, this bill would allow virtually anyone, regardless of sex, to enter single-sex bathrooms and locker rooms including public schools. It would also add the vague term "gender identity or expression" to the hate crimes law.
Expanded Gambling – Though a combination of egos and political "pay back" prevented the passage of a casino bill last session, we fully expect another heated debate over resort casinos and slot machines at racetracks this session. Tough economic times will continue to push legislators towards the revenues that come from expanded predatory gambling. MFI will work with our allies on this issue to continue to inform legislators on the false economics and horrific social costs of expanded gambling, especially the impact of hyper-addictive slot machines.
Comprehensive Sex Education – Planned Parenthood and its pro-abortion allies will make another attempt to establish comprehensive health (read: sex) education from grades K-12 as part of the core curriculum required for graduation from Massachusetts public schools. The "Health Curriculum Framework" contains very offensive requirements in the family and sexuality sections, but is currently optional for school district, allowing local control to remain intact. We will work to keep it that way.
Funding for homosexual agenda in schools – MFI will continue to work to eliminate taxpayer funding for groups such as the state's Independent Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth that seek to normalize homosexuality in the eyes of school children. Organizations and promoters of these programs continue to use the guise of "suicide prevention" and "diversity" training to gain support for the funding, and demonize those who question the wisdom of encouraging behavior that is dangerous and potentially deadly.
Illegal immigration – Though illegal immigration is not a top tier issue for MFI, we strongly believe in upholding and enforcing our nation's immigration laws. MFI strongly supports legal immigration, but opposes the passage of in-state tuition for illegal aliens. We will also lobby for passage of what was known as the "Perry Amendment" to ban taxpayer funding of benefits for illegal aliens.

GambleAware, a UK-based industry charity, has appointed the premier advertising company M&C Saatchi to create a new safe gambling advertising campaign.
The campaign will go on for two years and will have a budget of between £5m (€5.7m/$6.6m) and £7m. The project, which will be led by GambleAware, has the government sanction.
A new board, comprising various representatives from Public Health England and the Welsh Government's public health community, as well as academic experts, has come into force for GambleAware that will drive the campaign.
In addition, Little Black Book reports that GambleAware has formed an advisory panel to harness input from treatment providers, related charities, faith groups, sport, the gambling industry, and individuals that have experienced gambling problems.
M&C Saatchi will have support from Atlas Communications on the project, while GambleAware has opted to retain 18 Feet and Rising for its other advertising requirements.

\section{Introduction}+{others}, all in one!

	The Hubbard Hamiltonian [HH] and its extensions dominate
the study of strongly correlated electrons systems and the
insulator metal transition \cite{fra91}. One of the attractive
feature of the Hubbard Model is its simplicity. It is well known
that in the HH the band electrons interact via a two-body
repulsive Coulomb interaction; there are no phonons in this model
and neither in general are attractive interactions incorporated.
With these points in mind it is not surprising that the HH
was mainly used to study magnetism. In contrast superconductivity
was understood mainly in light of the BCS theory, namely as
an instability of the vacuum [ground-state] arising from
effectively attractive interactions between electron and
phonons. However Anderson \cite{and87} suggested that
the superconductivity in high T$_{c}$ material could arise
from purely repulsive interaction. The rationale of
this suggestion is grounded in the observation that
superconductivity in such materials arises from the
doping of an otherwise insulating state. Thus following this
suggestion the electronic properties in such a
high T$_{c}$ superconductor material close to a
insulator-metal transition must be considered.
In particular the one-dimensional HH is considered
to be the most simple model which can account
for the main properties of strongly correlated
electron systems including the metal-insulator
transition. Long range antiferromagnetic order
at half-filling has been reported in the numerical
studies of this model \cite{hir89,bal90}.
Away from half-filling this model has been studied
in \cite{mor90-91}.

	In theories based on magnetic interactions \cite{and87}
for modelling of HTSC, it has been assumed that the CuO$_{2}$
planes in HTSC materials are microscopically homogeneous.
However, a number of experimental techniques have recently observed
that the CuO$_{2}$ are rather inhomogeneous, providing evidence for
phase separation into a two component system. i.e. carrier-rich and
carrier-poor regions \cite{oyn99}. In particular, extended x-ray
absorption fine structure [EXAFS] demonstrated that these domains
forms stripes of undistorted and distorted local structures alternating
with mesoscopic length scale comparable with coherence length in HTSC.
The neutron pair distribution function of Egami et al. \cite{ega94}
also provides structural evidence for two component charge carriers.
Other techniques also seem to point that below a certain temperature
T$^{*}$ \footnote{The following can be taken as a definition of T$^{*}$:
T$^{*}$ is an onset temperature of pseudogap opening in spin or
charge excitation spectra.} the CuO$_{2}$ planes may have ordered stripes
of carrier-rich and carrier-poor domains \cite{ega94}. The emergence
of experimental evidence for inhomogeneous structure has led to
renewal of interest, in theories of HTSC which are based on
alternative mechanism, such as phonon scattering, the lattice
effect on high T$_{\rm c}$
superconductivity \cite{lat92,phs93,phs94,ega94}.
Polarized EXAFS study of optimally doped YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{\rm y}$
shows in-plane lattice anomaly \cite{oyn99} below a characteristic
temperature T$^{*'}$\footnote{T$^{*'}$ may be defined as follows:
T$^{*'}$ is an onset temperature of local phonon anomalies
and T$^{*'} < T^{*}$.} which lies above T$_{\rm c}$, and
close to the characteristic temperature of spin gap opening
T$^{*}$. It is an interesting question if the in-plane
lattice anomaly is related to the charge stripe or spin-phonon
interaction. We note that it has been attempted in \cite{fuk92,fuk93}
to relate the spin gap observed in
various experiments such as NMR, neutron scattering and transport
properties to the short-range ordering of spin singlets.

	Zhang \cite{zha97} proposed a unified theory
of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism
\footnote{We note that theories of cuprates based
upon a quantum critical point have also been suggested
by others, see for e.g. Sachdev et al. \cite{sac95}.}based
on SO(5) symmetry and suggested that there exists
an approximate global SO(5) symmetry in the low
temperature phase of the high $T_c$ cuprates.
In this model one has a five component order
parameter. Three components correspond to a spin
one, charge zero particle-hole pair condensed at the
center of mass momentum $(\pi,\pi)$, these components
represent antiferromagnetic order in the middle of
Mott insulating state. The remaining two components
correspond  to a spin-singlet charge $\pm 2e$
Cooper pair of orbital symmetry $d_{x^2-y^2}$
condensed in zero momentum state, these last
two components are supposed to correspond to
superconductivity in the doped Mott insulator.
Baskaran and Anderson \cite{bas97} have presented
an elegant series of criticisms of the work in Ref.~\cite{zha97}.
In view of the critique presented in Ref.~\cite{bas97},
and the features of quantum groups we were led to our
conjecture that at the simplest level and as a
preliminary step, it is tempting to base a model
for superconductivity and antiferromagnetism on
a quantum group symmetry rather than the usual
classical Lie group \cite{ala98}.

 	We now recall some useful details about quantum
groups \cite{kli97,kak91} and our simple discussion about
quantum groups outlined in \cite{ala98}. We caution the
reader that currently there is no `satisfactory' general
definition of a quantum group\footnote{We mean in terms of rigorous
mathematics}. However it is commonly accepted \cite{kli97}
that quantum groups are certain `well-behaved' Hopf
algebras and that the standard deformations of the enveloping
Hopf algebras of semisimple Lie algebras and of coordinate Hopf
algebras of the corresponding Lie groups are guiding examples.
An amazing feature of quantum group theory is the
unexpected connections with apparently unrelated
concepts in physics and mathematics such as Lie Groups,
Lie Algebras and their representations, special functions,
knot theory, low-dimensional topology, operator algebras,
noncommutative geometry, combinatorics, quantum inverse
scattering problem, theory of integrable models, conformal
and quantum field theory and perhaps others.

	 We consider even the modelling of HTSC
materials based on quantum groups as a preliminary step, since
it is quite likely that a realistic model which unifies a complex
system containing antiferromagnetic and superconducting
phases, may require the mathematical machinery
currently being used for string theory, or something even
beyond it. Another important motivation for our
conjecture is to model Stripes. Stripes can be aptly described
as being found in the unstable two-phase region between the
antiferromagnetic and metallic states \cite{bas97-1}. One
of the real challenges is to formulate a theory which gives rise
to the equivalent of ``Fermi surface''\footnote{We mean, as is
usual \cite{bas97-1}, that with a metallic state we can always
associate a ``Fermi surface'' which describes the low-energy
excitations. This is a finite volume surface in momentum space
which arises due to all the one-particle amplitudes \cite{bas97-1}.}
whose excitation surface derives from {\em fluctuations that
are not uniform in space}. Intuitively one may imagine
these non-uniform fluctuations as arising out of a
nonlinear sigma-like model. We further conjecture that
superconductivity arises when two immiscible phases,
namely a 2-D antiferromagnetic state and a 3-D metallic state,
are ``forced'' to meet at $T_c \rightarrow \infty$.
As is well-known, ordinary low temperature superconductors
arise entirely out of a ``metallic'' like  state.
In contrast High $T_{c}$ superconductors have
relatively large $T_{c}$ since we {\em cannot}
smoothly map two immiscible states [metallic and
antiferomagnetic] together. It is the lack of this
smooth mapping that is precisely responsible for
the High $T_c$. The lack of smooth mappings may
be modelled by the nontrivial phases which
arise out of the braiding operations of
quantum groups.

	In lieu of our remarks on quantum groups \cite{ala98}
to model antiferromagnetism and superconductivity
we first consider a simple toy model, namely SO$_{\rm q}(3)$.
Why SO$_{\rm q}(3)$?  To this end we recall the observation that
superconductivity in HTSC materials arises from the
doping of an otherwise insulating state. On the other hand
it is known that the low energy effective Hamiltonian of
a antiferromagnet can be described by the SO(3) nonlinear
$\sigma$ model \cite{cha89}. There are also claims
\cite{pin94,pin95,chu94} that the SO(3) nonlinear sigma model may
also suffice to describe the underdoped region of
the oxide superconductors. Simply put, experimentally we know
that the doping of oxide antiferromagnet leads to superconductivity
for a region of the doping parameter. The actual picture is more
complicated for example by the presence of stripes. To be
concrete we have in mind the generalized phase diagram
as seen in  La-SrCuO$_{4}$ [see Fig.~3.26, page 98 of
Ref.~\cite{and97}, where the following phases are
enumerated: antiferromagnetic insulator, messy insulating
phase, 2D strange metal, 3D metal and superconductor on
the temperature versus doping diagram.].
In a simple toy model we may model the antiferromagnetic
material plus the doping by ${\rm SO_{q}(3)}$, where the
quantum group parameter $q$ is related to the physical doping
$\delta$. In a naive scenario we may take $\delta=q-1$, when $q=1$
${\rm SO_{q}(3)}$ reduces to ${\rm SO(3)}$, $\delta=0$
i.e. zero doping and we recover the SO(3) nonlinear
$\sigma$ model description for the low energy effective
Hamiltonian.

	There are several reasons for choosing
${\rm SO_{q}(4)}$ and ${\rm SO_{q}(5)}$
As already mentioned SO(3) is a symmetry group
for antiferromagnet insulator at the level of effective
Hamiltonian. On the other hand effective Hamiltonian
of a superconductor may be described by a U(1) nonlinear
sigma model [XY model], for example it was indicated
in Ref.~\cite{don90} that the metal insulator transition may
be described by the XY model. It was further pointed out
in  Ref.~\cite{eme95} that superconducting transition
on the underdoped side of oxides by a renormalized
classical model. In addition it is worth noting that
SO(3) spin rotation and U(1) phase/charge rotation
are symmetries of the microscopic t-J model.
One of the simplest group to embed SO(3)$\times$ U(1)
is ${\rm SO(5)}$. Now keeping in mind the discussion
in \cite{ala98} and here we propose to model
a unified group for antiferromagnetic, superconducting
and other phases in HTSC materials by ${\rm SO_{q}(5)}$.
Even in the considerations based on SO(5) the concepts of Hopf
maps, quaternions, Yang monopole and Berry phase \cite{zha98}
have crept up. This leads more support to our contention
that model for HTSC materials must be based on quantum group
rather than the classical group in this case ${\rm SO_{q}(5)}$
instead of SO(5). A singlet-triplet model has been suggested
recently by Mosvkin and Ovchinnikov \cite{mos98} in light
of experimental considerations. This model is based on
the Hamiltonian of the two-component spin liquid \cite{mos98}.
The Hamiltonian considered in \cite{mos98} has SO(4)
group symmetry. The calculations and results in \cite{mos98}
are encouraging in that they elaborate and give insight
into static and dynamical spin properties of cuprates
including paramagnetic susceptibility, nuclear resonance
and inelastic magnetic neutron magnetic scattering.
However a central issue as recognized in \cite{mos98}
and not dealt with is charge inhomogeneity and
phase separation. It is tempting to replace SO(4)
by ${\rm SO_{q}(4)}$ and see if one could account
for charge inhomogeneity and phase separation.

	We must also clearly state that we don't at the moment
have a magic insight to tell us which specific quantum group
must be chosen to model HTSC. However we feel that the quantum groups
arising from the classical orthogonal groups, i.e. SO(N)
are a good and worthwhile starting point, since they
naturally incorporate the symmetry group of the insulating
antiferromagnetic state and are naturally rich enough
to accomodate quantum liquid behaviour.

    In conclusion, the quantum orthogonal groups
${\rm SO_{q}(N)}$ are proposed as potential candidate
for modelling the theory of HTSC materials. A strong
feature of quantum groups is that they unify classical
Lie algebras and topology. In more general sense it
is expected that quantum groups will lead to a deeper
understanding of the concept of symmetry in physics.

Safety is a priceless ingredient of the parenting journey and should be a basic ingredient for all baby cribs and baby furniture in general. Safety is of paramount importance to Romina furniture. It is difficult if not impossible to quantify the importance of Safety when present and in effect but it is rather easy and very unfortunate to see when Safety is missing. We have made it a priority to include the safest and most innovative technologies in the manufacturing of our baby furniture.
All our products are periodically tested and certified for safe operation. All our furniture meets and exceeds all Consumer Product Safety Commission code of regulations in effect. We are going further and we are incorporating the latest and most efficient technologies currently available in furniture making. All our furniture (not only cribs) are GREENGUARD Gold certified, all our drawers are standardly equipped with safe-closing drawers and anti-tipping systems. All our furniture is designed to be your child's safest and most comfortable place to sleep and grow around.
We go above and beyond CPSC and ASTM requirements for safety to provide you with Peace of Mind. ALL Romina furniture exceeds the Greenguard GOLD criteria. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) considers paint safe when it has toxic materials under 300 parts per million (ppm). In order for a company to claim low toxicity, it must have no more than 90 ppm and there are a lot of brands who make this claim. We take this one step and randomly test our entire product lineup by UL Laboratories, every three months. Romina Furniture means NO Harmful VOCs | NO Formaldehyde | NO Lead | NO Toxic ingredients. ALL Romina Cribs and ALL Romina Cases are GREENGUARD Gold Tested and Certified for offering your family the peace of mind. We might not be perfect but we sure try.
Beechwood is a high-density hardwood that Nature has designed it strong and heavy. We give it a beautiful shape and color and purpose and we benefit from its strength and longevity. In their cognitive development stage, children will explore the environment, and their room will be first on the list; they will pull or climb or try to taste everything within reach. this is why we are utilizing the safest German made anti-detachment systems. It is important and highly recommended to follow all posted signs and instructions but also to supervise your children when around the furniture. For your peace of mind, we equip our drawers with the most advanced anti-detachment and anti-tipping systems to prevent the most common accidents with baby furniture, detached drawers. Drawer boxes are secured by high-density carbon polymer triggers which must be simultaneously pulled for drawer release. This operation requires a certain level or strength and hand coordination which is not within a toddler or kindergartner's ability.
We encourage all parents to exercise supervision and preventive care and we promise that your Romina drawers won't detach or tip over if your child pulls them.
Romina drawers systems offer full extension for maximum comfort and convenience. The open drawer can also be very appealing to a toddler which may find it adventurous to climb onto the furniture.
While the drawers anti-detachment and anti-tipping systems will prevent accidental release, we also include a 3-way wall-anchoring system. All our case units, including nightstands and hutches come with these wall anchoring systems. These systems include three various types of latch tools and hardware for brick, sheet-rock or wooden walls. We strongly recommend that you use these systems with all your Romina furniture so that you can limit the amount of risk your little adventurers are exposed to. Installation is fairly easy and intuitive but if you need assistance, never hesitate to ask for it. If these kits are removed or missing at the time of delivery, please contact us for a free replacement.
Common sense and preventive action is recommended to be exercised at all times. Safety measures are never an excessive practice for Life doesn't happen only when we're paying attention. To make your furniture journey as pleasant as possible, Better to be Safe than Sorry.
Our German-made drawer and door systems are equipped with a safe-close feature: in order to extend the drawer past the 5 percent extension point, a bit of extra pulling strength is required. This additional pull force may not be noticeable for an average adult but it makes it difficult for an infant to pull out a drawer, most giving up the task altogether. Safe-Close feature also prevents drawer bouncing when pushed in vigorously.
Our drawers and doors are equipped with a hydraulic soft-closing feature, a smooth closing that allows children to retract their hand or fingers and avoid unpleasant situations. Less crying, more laughing that's Safety's side effect.
Drawers are also equipped with tipping resistance hooks mounted on the back side or the box. In the unlikely event that a drawer latch system may get disengaged, it will not tip over to injure a child. This is safety all the way around, 360 degrees.
Romina cribs are equipped with metal mattress supports for maximum safety and durability because, wood, as beautiful and unique as it may be, it is a natural material prone to imperfections. These imperfections are making it original and comfortable but also vulnerable to environmental changes and stress factors. A small knot or grain fiddle can look great on a dresser top but it can also cause the sleeping surface to become unstable or damage the mattress. A dry climate can reduce the flexibility coefficient making any wood brittle and prone to splitting. Metal made mattress support alleviate all these concerns and with three adjustable height positions they can be adjusted along with your child growth stages. Metal is also a natural material but it is much more resistant to mechanical stress.


On Dec. 17th, Ethan Couch, age 16, was sentenced to 10 years of rehabilitation after admitted to driving drunk and killing four people. The reason for his light sentence according to the judge was that the defense successfully proved that he suffered from affluenza.
If you clicked on the Wikipedia link I provided for this condition (a condition which doesn't even pass my spell check), I think that one could conclude that if someone was suffering from this condition, this could certainly impact their decision process greatly and make them likely to be reckless and careless.
Now I am a strong supporter of psychological treatment and the impacts our parents have on our development and decision-making processes. We over-incarcerate far too much in this country and I am especially for providing our young with psychological treatment over incarceration because study after study shows how the earlier we recognize a behavior (whether due to a traumatic event or crappy parents) we can correct that behavior.
Ethan is a rich, white kid. Worst-case scenario his parents are selfish assholes who spent little time with him, who enjoyed the privilege that money has given them. They probably flouted laws themselves knowing that as an upstanding member of the community they probably wouldn't get too many speeding tickets if pulled over, and even if they did they could pay any fine. Remembering, I'm sure, to mention to the cop that they might have a talk with some politician of theirs who is a friend and talk about possibly reducing the budget of the police force after a generous donation to that politician's re-election campaign. When you have ridiculous sums of cash, the law is always on your side. After 16 years of seeing such behavior and without your parents giving you the time a day, I would say that your sense of right and wrong would be screwed up. Your attachment to reality would also be screwed up, because you literally don't understand how most of the world lives when the only other people you know are also filthy rich. So I support the idea that it is at least possible that bad, extremely rich parents can screw up their kid so badly that he would do something so terrible. I mean there was no intent to kill here, but this is always the danger of drinking and driving, and punishments are often quite harsh for most people. Now most people are outraged by the judge's verdict of affluenza, and for good reason. I am among one of those outraged, but perhaps for slightly different reasons.
The case raises numerous philosophical questions for me. At what age do we become blameless for the mistakes of our parents? Should parents ever be made responsible for crimes their children commit? How long does the psychological impacts of things that happen in our childhood last? How long can we use them as an excuse for poor decisions that we make? A child that is raised to hate African-Americans will probably hate African-Americans, but will he ever commit a hate crime? Who knows, but if he did, would it be an acceptable excuse to use the fact that your parents taught you to hate as a defense? If the kid committed the crime at 13, is that adult enough? Would we still all be as outraged at the verdict? What about traumatic events like sexual abuse or physical abuse? These things have definitely been shown to do psychological damage for possibly the rest of one's life. It seems reasonable that if you reinforced from childhood that a certain behavior is acceptable, you will likely feel that way as an adult. The condition of affluenza, however, is perhaps not as legitimate as one thinks, at least according to one of the co-producers of the 1997 PBS documentary on the subject. As John de Graaf points out, that in a capitalistic, consumer based society such as ours, we may all suffer from this to a certain degree. Furthermore he says it is not a psychological condition, but rather a societal criticism. Affluenza is not a condition recognized by the American Psychological Association.
But let's say that even if we accept that bad parenting seriously messed up this kid, a whole host of other questions come to mind. How often can we use psychological conditions as a defense? Are such rulings equally applied to all such cases? If there is a psychological condition that can be contracted by rich kids, what psychological condition does poverty cause and can these not be made for their defense when they commit crimes?
The same judge gave a 14 year old African-American a much harsher sentence for a much lesser crime the previous year. One only has to look at the amount of minorities and poor people in the prison system, who commited crimes that did not lead to anyone's death, to be convinced that such defenses as affluenza or any other defense based on psychological damage in their upbringing has not been successful. The impacts of poverty on children, in fact, is a far greater reason actually for "deviant" behavior as young adults and is actually well researched within the psychological community. Ultimately this is why I am so enraged. There is probably no greater slap in the face the legal system could give to the poor than this verdict. A compassionate sentence is either deserved by all or by none. Whether you think incarceration helps society or not, there cannot be any true justice when it does not apply equally to all citizens. If prison isn't the answer for Ethan Couch then at the very least he should be made to volunteer and live in an inner city neighborhood. If society truly believed in his correction then he won't receive the education he sorely needs which is compassion and understanding for how the rest of society lives, especially since he hasn't been punished in a way that the rest of society is punished for similar crimes. His parents are paying $450,000/year to go to this swanky facility in California. I shudder to think how many lives could be made better with that money instead of teaching one kid a lesson that would perhaps be better taught in other ways. There is nothing inherently more valuable about Ethan Couch than any other youth who has been sent to a juvenile detention center or jail. As income disparity mounts every branch of our government still continues to help the smallest minority ; the rich. How long can we live in this illusion that we are the best country when we incarcerate more people than those places we consider our enemy and backwards in thinking? How long can we live in the illusion of trickledown economics? How long can we live in the illusion of the American Dream that all you have to do is work hard and that dream will come true? This case is as much about racism and inequality as the George Zimmerman case and it is even more of a reason to be outraged at where our country is headed. Don't confuse the meanings of money and value. Nobody is better person just because they have money and it's time the government and the justice system stopped acting like this was true.
I remember reading this before Christmas and then was distracted by Christmas of all things. When I first read it I thought affluenza was a joke, and then after looking into it found out that it's disturbingly true. It's hard to imagine that a ruling like that won't be appealed and overturned.
As for living under and illusion, I don't think there's a time limit for that.


When the temperature rises and school is out, young people in neighborhoods with few resources and activities to keep them busy are at a higher risk of getting into trouble, statistics show.
It's a fact that city officials and law enforcement are well aware of, and the reason behind a program that keeps many city of Los Angeles parks and recreation centers open after dark during the summer.
Now in its eighth year, the Summer Night Lights (SNL) program offers free sports, art and crafts and other activities along with meals to youth and their families in many of the city's most densely populated neighborhoods.
Highland Park resident Teresa Martinez has been taking her children to the Highland Park Recreation Center for the last two years for some summer fun.
"There are a lot of activities going on and the Summer Night Lights program is very popular in this area," she told EGP Monday. "They offer free food, drinks, music, raffles, a lot of stuff," she said.
This year, Martinez's 10-year old daughter will play on a softball team while her 13-year old son hopes to join a basketball team.
When young people are busy doing things they enjoy, they are less likely to get into trouble or be recruited into gangs, according to then councilman, and now Mayor Eric Garcetti when he spearheaded the program eight years ago as a way to combat gang activity in Glassell Park and surrounding neighborhoods. In partnership with the Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) and the City of Los Angeles, the "park after dark" program has since expanded to 32 locations across the city.
SNL has proven to be a good tool for reducing violent crime while promoting peace, positive activities, and healthy outcomes for residents, according to the GRYD. Summer Night Lights focuses on areas most impacted by gang violence, unemployment, and with high concentrations of youth and young adults.
"This is a great opportunity to participate with the youth and create a positive point" of contact, LAPD Northeast Division Sgt. Christopher Gomez told EGP. He said his Special Problem Unit oversees the Glassell Park and Highland Park locations, helping families feel more comfortable about their young people taking part in night time activities.
Martinez said she was at first reluctant to take her children to the park where some sports programs can run until 11 p.m. Those fears have since been allayed: "There is always a lot of police activity and there's a lot of parent involvement too," she explained about why she's now glad Summer Night Lights is offered in Highland Park.
According to GRYD, in 2014 over 900,000 visits were reported across all 32 Summer Night Lights sites. There was a 15.4% reduction in gang-related crime— Wednesdays through Saturday between June 25 and Aug. 9 — compared to the same period in 2013. Over half a million meals were served during the hours of the program.
According to officials, more than 10,000 youth have participated in soccer, basketball and baseball sports leagues and in sports clinics with the LA Kings, LA Galaxy, LA D-fenders, Play Rubgy USA, CHIVAS USA, and WNBA/Coca Cola.
— Arts: nightly art workshops, culinary arts, silk-screening, mural painting, zumba, hip-hop dance and poetry.
— Department of Public Health Resources.
The program will also hire some youth, ages 17-24, to work at site locations. In 2014, 1,068 local jobs were created and 325 at-risk youth were hired and provided on-going training.
Added this year is a pre-program assessment focused on identifying educational careers and goals for youth involved in the Summer Night Light program.

'EARLY MAN' ACHIEVES ITS GOAL
Film In Theaters Leonard Maltin Movie Reviews February 17, 2018
I've been a sucker for Nick Park's animated work since I first laid eyes on his Oscar-winning short Creature Comforts more than twenty years ago. (Little did I know that I'd already seen some of his stop-motion work in the "Penny" segments of Pee-wee's Playhouse.) Wallace and Gromit won my heart soon afterwards, and I've enjoyed all of his work since then: shorts, features, and TV specials, all made for Aardman studios. I love the distinctive design of his characters and his signature blend of cleverness and silliness. One could never mistake a Nick Park movie for an animated feature by an American studio.
All of that is on display in his new feature Early Man, an endearing story of cavemen who form a football (Americans read: soccer) team in order to reclaim their home turf from the clutches of their greedy Bronze Age successors. Our youthful underdog hero Dug (Eddie Redmayne) and his loyal sidekick Hognob (voiced by Park himself) are tormented by a self-aggrandizing bully named Lord Nooth, whose faux-French dialect disguises the fact that it's Tom Hiddleston acting the part.They are joined by Maisie Williams, Timothy Spall, Richard Ayoade, Miriam Margolyes, and the vocally versatile Rob Brydon.
Like most Aardman movies this one isn't out to pummel you with gags or dazzle you with rapid-fire pacing. It's content to take its time and amuse an audience (young or old) with funny-looking creatures, clever dialogue, subtle jokes, puns, and sheer nonsense. Park also understands the importance of giving the viewer rooting interest and provides it for us–you can't help but love these characters.
Another mark of Aardman films is that they are proudly, resolutely British. I don't pretend to get all the jokes in Early Man (my English son-in-law couldn't stop laughing) but that's OK because there are more than enough to go around.
Early Man may not have the punch or pizzazz of a mainstream Hollywood cartoon feature, but it has a tangible charm all its own. As a fan, I wouldn't have it any other way.

These are the official results of the Men's 110 metres Hurdles event at the 1991 IAAF World Championships in Tokyo, Japan. There were a total number of 38 participating athletes, with two semi-finals and five qualifying heats and the final held on Thursday August 29, 1991.

Summary
All the eyes were on 33 year old Greg Foster, who was, as yet, undefeated in World Championship finals.  Foster had lane 4 in the center of the track.  Missing was the reigning double Olympic Champion and world record holder Roger Kingdom out with an ACL surgery.  Next to Foster in lane 5 was the leading qualifier from the semis was Tony Jarrett, who had just edged Foster in that semi.  The other semi was significantly slower, won by Jack Pierce.

Before the gun went off, Foster was already running—a false start, common and legal in this era.  When the starter raised the gun again, Foster had a strike against him, meaning he could be disqualified for a second offense.  Ostensibly that should make Foster more cautious.  The next start was legal, Mark McKoy got a good start and had a clear lead over the first hurdle, with Foster just inches ahead of the wall of competitors almost a full stride behind.  Over the next two hurdles, Foster made up most of the gap.  Challenged to his right, McKoy began to struggle, Foster taking a clear lead.  Behind them, Pierce was separating from the group in third place.  By the sixth hurdle, Pierce caught McKoy and had the momentum chasing Foster.  The next chaser was Jarrett, who caught McKoy over the eighth hurdle.  Pierce was gaining on Foster but was still half a metre behind over the last hurdle.  In the run in to the finish line, that half metre disappeared, the two hit the finish line together with Pierce clearly ahead just inches past the finish line.  Jarrett continued on to take bronze almost .2 of a second behind the leaders.

With new technology, Japanese officials were able to display the finish picture quickly after the race, still looking like a tie.  Three minutes later, Foster was announced as the winner, now for the third time in a row.
