PDC Global Hazards Atlas displaying PDC Integrated Active Hazards and 3 day precipitation accumulation
Another week of flooding around the world! Flooding was observed in many regions, including Asia, Oceania, the Americas, Europe, and Africa! Flooding was observed in parts of western and eastern Africa, including ongoing flooding events in Niger, Sudan, South Sudan, and Ethiopia, and is expected to persist within the region throughout the coming week (NOAA/CPC). In Asia, flooding was reported in India, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Philippines. In southwest China's Yunnan Province heavy rains, flooding, and landslides have forced thousands to evacuate (ReliefWeb/Xinhua), further complicating disaster response operations being conducted in response to an earthquake and series of aftershocks that began last Friday and claimed the lives of at least 81 people (ACT Alliance). Additionally, flooding was observed in Oceania, in Australia and Papua New Guinea, as well as in the Americas, in Colombia, Canada (Nova Scotia), and the United States (California, Nevada, and Utah).
Now, let's take a closer look at some of these flooding events below!
Precipitation & Flooding: Pakistan

Q: How to constrain generic type in Kotlin? I am creating a reactive stream that accepts Fruits
// PublishSubject is part of RxJava library. It accepts a generic T
class PublishSubject<T> {
   ...
}

val stream = PublishSubject<Fruit>.create()

However, I want it to accept only fruits that are edible
interface Edible {
   fun eat()
}
class Apple: Fruit, Edible

Edible behaviour interface can be applied to other foods (ice-cream, potato), however, I want only fruits that are edible.
val stream = PublishSubject<Fruit : Edible>.create()

Something like this, but this doesn't seem to work.
Can generics be constrained further upon instantiating without subclassing PublishSubject?
I could accept all edibles and do some hacky filtering, but that doesn't seem right
PublishSubject<Edible>.create().filter(edible -> edible is Fruit)

A: You can use where keyword like this:
class PublishSubject<T> where T : Fruit, T : Edible {
    ...
}

Le malepère est un vin d'appellation d'origine contrôlée produit dans le massif de la Malepère, situé entre Limoux, Castelnaudary et Carcassonne, dans le département français de l'Aude.

Histoire

Le canal du Midi, inauguré en 1681, relança la production du vin en Languedoc qui pouvait être exporté vers Toulouse, Bordeaux et Marseille. Le canal eut pour effet d'élargir la zone de vente des producteurs locaux et dans les années 1730-1740, ce commerce permit aux exploitations agricoles d'augmenter leur production.

À partir de 1855, le vignoble connut une forte progression. Mais la crise de l'oïdium, suivie du phylloxéra, puis la surproduction des vins de qualité inférieure engendrèrent la révolte de 1907.

Le mouvement coopératif qui s'ensuivit redonna un essor de la viticulture. Au milieu du , les vignerons décident de choisir la qualité contre la quantité. Ce qui leur permis d'accéder à l'AOC puisque avant 2007, le malepère était connu sous l'appellation VDQS côtes-de-la-malepère.

Situation géographique
Situé dans le département de l'Aude, le malepère est l'appellation la plus occidentale du Languedoc-Roussillon.

Orographie
Ce terroir viticole est constitué de plaines et de collines dans sa partie méridionale. Il est creusé par les rivières de la Dure, de l'Orbiel et de la Clamoux. Au nord, les terrains sont plus abrupts avec le début de la Montagne Noire. Là dominent la garrigue et le maquis.

Géologie

Climat
Le climat de ce terroir viticole est de type méditerranéen avec des étés chauds et secs et des hivers doux et peu pluvieux. La neige n'est pas rare, le brouillard occasionnel, mais les jours de vent ne sont pas exceptionnels. Les températures descendent peu en dessous de  en hiver. Les automnes et les printemps sont doux. La pluviométrie est assez faible toute l'année.

Vignoble

Présentation

Les communes pouvant revendiquer l'AOC sont : Alaigne, Alairac, Arzens, Bellegarde-du-Razès, Belvèze-du-Razès, Brézilhac, Brugairolles, Cailhau, Cailhavel, Cambieure, Carcassonne, Caux-et-Sauzens, Couffoulens, Donazac, Fanjeaux, Fenouillet-du-Razès, Ferran, Gramazie, Hounoux, La Cassaigne, La Courtète, La Force, Lasserre-de-Prouille, Laurac, Lauraguel, Lavalette, Malviès, Mazerolles-du-Razès, Montclar, Montgradail, Montréal-de-l'Aude, Preixan, Rouffiac d'Aude, Roullens, Routier, Saint-Martin-de-Villereglan, Villarzel-du-Razès, Villeneuve-lès-Montréal, Villesèquelande, Villesiscle.

Encépagement
Les cépages sont :
 le merlot noir, cépage dominant de l'appellation (50 %) ;
 le cabernet franc, cépage dominant dans les vins rosés de l'appellation ;
 le cabernet sauvignon ;
 le cinsaut ;
 le côt (malbec) ;
 le grenache noir ;
 le lledoner pelut ;
 la syrah, cépage marginal en Malepère, mais néanmoins intéressant dans les vins rosés.

Méthodes culturales et réglementaires

Vinification et élevage
La vinification est une étape essentielle de la viniculture qui succède au pressurage ou au foulage d'après-vendange, ces opérations pouvant se dérouler aussi lors de la vinification. Elle est généralement complétée d'un élevage du vin. S'effectuant dans un chai, la vinification consiste à transformer le moût de raisin en un type précis de vin doté de caractéristiques organoleptiques spécifiques. Sa phase principale est la cuvaison, lors de laquelle le moût subit une fermentation alcoolique produisant du vin.

Vinification en rouge
La vinification en rouge consiste à faire un pressurage après que la fermentation a commencé. Pendant toute cette phase, le moût est en contact avec les matières solides de la vendange. Celles-ci sont très riches en tanins, matières colorantes, odorantes, minérales et azotées. Ces substances vont alors se dissoudre plus ou moins dans le moût et se retrouver dans le vin.

C'est la cuvaison pendant laquelle les sucres se transforment en alcool (fermentation alcoolique) et le jus se voit enrichi par les composants du moût. Plus la macération est longue, plus la coloration du vin sera intense. Se disolvent également les tanins, leur taux sera aussi fonction du temps de la cuvaison. Plus elle sera longue, plus les vins seront aptes à vieillir. Durant cette phase, se produit une forte élévation de la température. Celle-ci est de plus en plus contrôlée par la technique de maîtrise des températures.

Vinification en rosé
La vinification en rosé se produit par macération, limitée dans le temps, de cépages à pellicule noire avec possible ajout de cépages blancs. Le vin rosé n'a pas de définition légale. Mais ses techniques de vinification sont très strictes et n'autorisent en rien en Europe le mélange de vin rouge et blanc. Deux principes différents sont utilisés :
 Le premier consiste à extraire par écoulement une partie du jus dès l'encuvage lors de la vinification en rouge ; c'est la saignée. C'est le jus qui s'égoutte sous le poids de la vendange - au maximum entre 20 et 25 % - et qui va macérer durant 3 à 24 heures. Cette méthode produit des vins rosés à la robe soutenue, et la quantité potentielle produite dépend de la concentration recherchée pour le vin rouge produit.
 Le second principe est le pressurage direct, qui consiste à extraire le jus en plusieurs fois, au cours de la macération, qui dure quelques heures. Les jus extraits successivement sont progressivement plus chargés en tanins provenant des peaux, et peuvent ensuite être assemblés. Une vendange bien mûre pourra colorer le jus et sa vinification se fait en blanc.
La maîtrise des températures est une nécessité, un vin rosé a une robe qui s'apparente à celle d'un vin rouge très clair, plus le fruit et la fraîcheur des vins blancs.

Terroir et vins
Les vins de Malepère se différencient des autres produits du Languedoc notamment par la présence de cépages atlantiques comme le merlot et de cépages du Sud-Ouest comme le malbec. La rencontre des climats atlantique et méditerranéen à cet endroit est en partie responsable de cette mixité. Les vins produits sur ce terroir sont originaux et très spécifiques à la région. On y retrouve souvent des arômes de fruits noirs confiturés et d'épices avec un fond d'olives noires. On remarque aussi des notes de truffes dans certaines cuvées.

Structure des exploitations
Regroupant seulement 18 domaines particuliers et 3 caves coopératives, c'est une appellation peu connue du grand public. L'appellation compte aujourd'hui moins de 500 hectares de vignes.

Type de vins et gastronomie

L'AOC malepère ne comprenant que les vins rouges et les rosés, les vins blancs produits dans la région sont des IGP pays d'Oc. Les cépages blancs les plus utilisés sont le chardonnay, le sauvignon blanc, le viognier et le chenin blanc. Que ce soit en rouge ou en rosé, les vins de l'AOC s'accordent avec de nombreux mets. « Dans notre région, de tradition, le cassoulet de Castelnaudary est un incontournable pour accompagner le vin de Malepère. C'est un couple parfait qui va ravir tous les gourmets. Ainsi l'union d'un Grand Vin de Malepère et du Cassoulet de Castelnaudary est un plaisir pour les papilles ». Le malepère se retrouve parfait sur des mets d'exception comme une volaille aux truffes, un civet de lièvre à la sauge ou encore un salmis de palombes accompagné de champignons sauvages, ainsi que sur les pièces de gibier (côtelettes de sanglier ou civet de biche).

Commercialisation
La date de mise en marché des vins rouges à destination du consommateur ne peut se faire qu'à l'issue de la période d'élevage, à partir du  mars de l'année qui suit celle de la récolte.

L'INAO exige que .

Sur les 15 000 hl, produits en moyenne chaque année, la vente directe et traditionnelle représente 50%, la grande distribution 30%  et l'exportation 20%.

For Chicago Homeless Students, School Provided More Than An Education. Here's How They Are Coping
Homeless children already endured instability and uncertainty before a pandemic swiftly closed schools that fed, sheltered and educated them by day.
Samantha Smylie, Chalkbeat Chicago
8:04 AM CDT on Apr 23, 2020
CHICAGO — When Chicago closed its schools a month ago, Kellia Philips wondered how her children would continue their education. She had been living with an aunt and juggling school, cooking meals, and trying to teach her kids all while feeling cut off from her son's school.
A friend mentioned to her that school was providing homework packets and devices, so Philips rushed to stand in line at Ariel Community Academy on the city's Southeast Side. But the Chromebook she received, with a cracked screen, proved unusable. She said she would reach out to the school's principal to exchange the device, but feels discouraged since it has been hard for her to get in contact with her son's teachers or the homeless liaison.
Philips remains deeply worried about her third-grader who is on the autism spectrum.
She hasn't been able to resume the special education services he was receiving. "I can't give the services, and I don't want Johnny to be behind," Philips said.
With unstable housing, Johnny and his three siblings are among an estimated 12,000 homeless students attending Chicago Public Schools.
Those children already endured instability and uncertainty before a pandemic swiftly closed schools that fed, sheltered and educated them by day. Now with shaky connections to school and those services, families like Philips' find that spotty communication adds to their anxiety.
The district and schools have put a priority on helping homeless students — those in shared or temporary quarters, in shelters, or on the streets. As of last Friday, Chicago Public Schools had given out more than 6 million meals to families at hundreds of schools. Last week, the district announced it would provide 12,000 internet hotspots, at a cost of $2.5 million, to students who are homeless to help in their education. The devices come with four months of free internet.
In addition to providing meals and technology for students to access learning, the district has given school leaders guidance on how to shape their remote learning curriculum for homeless students. But ultimately, responses depend on the school. (Chicago Public Schools declined to comment on individual students or families, but said it has set up a hotline and email for families to call: familyservices@cps.edu or 773-553-5437.)
"Students probably have smaller cramped spaces and are not able to really set up learning spaces that some of their peers may be able to," said Molly Burke, executive director of the district's office of engagement. In planning services, the district is considering that highly mobile families may not take school supplies and projects with them from space to space, depending on their storage capacity.
Burke said she is working to ensure that students in temporary living situations have work packets and that unaccompanied youth have cell phones to ask for help from teachers.
Despite the devices the district is providing, advocates remain concerned. "A lot of our schools provide laundry services for families. Some schools have also provided showers for families. We can't do any of that anymore. We're providing food on a daily basis, but are we providing toilet paper and cleaning supplies? I highly doubt it," said Sarah Rothschild, education policy analyst at the Chicago Teachers Union.
Others worry about reaching the students who need help most. Teachers say they haven't been able to reach all of their students, and that some phone numbers don't work or families have suddenly moved. Even before the pandemic, advocates warned about accurately identifying homeless students.
The reason for different estimates of homeless numbers varies. Patricia Nix-Hodes, director of the Coalition for the Homeless, said that some families may not know that they meet the legal definition of homelessness and "without very active engagement on the part of the school to connect with the students and learn about their living situation, there are students who fall through the cracks."
Schools offer services that vary by age. Homeless high school seniors, for instance, could get from school counselors or homeless liaisons assistance on how to navigate financial aid for colleges and universities.
"If a student is unaccompanied and homeless they're allowed to apply for funding without their parents' information and as an independent student, which is really crucial for them being able to access higher education," said Alyssa Philips, an education attorney at the Coalition for the Homeless.
Devontay, 18, has been a homeless senior at DRW College Prep, a Noble Network Charter School on the city's West Side. Across Noble's 18 schools, 719 students have been identified as homeless. To protect his privacy, Chalkbeat agreed not to publish his full name.
Over the past month, Devontay has been in touch with his school's college seminar teacher via email to get assistance with navigating college. He lives in a shelter operated by the Night Ministry where he has access to the internet and food.
Before schools closed, Devontay was looking for a suit for prom. He had a date. "I was looking forward to me and my friends having fun and making the best of it before we graduate," he said.
He had been accepted to Columbia College Chicago where he wanted to study animation and hoped to be the first in his family to go to college.
While excited and anticipating graduation and college, he mourns the months now lost to quarantine. It feels like so much has gone to waste, he said. "For the big year to turn out like this, what high school senior graduating in 2020 wouldn't feel like that?"

Cori Bush defeats Clay Lacy in Missouri Democratic Primary
Cori Bush, a progressive activist and veteran of the racial justice protest movement, defeated 20-year incumbent Missouri Rep. William Lacy Clay in a Democratic primary on Tuesday, a stunning victory for the party's insurgent left.
The US House seat, based in St. Louis, has been held by Clay and his father, former Rep. William Clay Sr., one of the founders of the Congressional Black Caucus, since 1969. Bush, who challenged Clay in 2018 and lost, was the first candidate launched by Justice Democrats, the progressive group dedicated to toppling moderate Democratic congressional incumbents.
Bush's victory will send another round of shockwaves through the Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill, where leadership has fought to stave off a new generation of combative progressives, who support "Medicare for All," the Green New Deal and other economic and racial justice policies dismissed for decades by the party establishment.
"We've been called radicals, terrorists, we've been dismissed as an impossible fringe movement -- that's what they called us," Bush said in her victory speech. "But now, we are a multiracial, multiethnic, multigenerational, mass movement united in demanding change, in demanding accountability, in demanding that our police, our government, our country recognize that Black lives do, indeed, matter."
"It is historic," Bush told supporters after the race was called, "that this year, of all years, we're sending a Black, working class, single mother who's been fighting for Black lives since Ferguson, all the way to the halls of Congress."
In her second attempt to unseat Clay, who won in 2018 with 57% of the primary vote, Bush was backed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Sunrise Movement -- a youth-led group that champions the Green New Deal -- and other leftist and progressive leaders, including Jamaal Bowman, who ousted Rep. Eliot Engel in New York during the state's June primary. Ocasio-Cortez, who endorsed Bush two years ago, did not get involved in the 2020 contest.

In light of recent events, Imam Magid would like to invite you and all law enforcement officers, first responders and staff to attend a lunch training at ADAMS Center on April. 10 from 11:30pm-1:30pm in the new community hall on the American Muslim Community. Imam Magid will give a short talk about the American Muslim community and answer any questions the audience may have.


First of all, let me be clear: no, I'm not trying to leave Emacs again, already got over that stage. Emacs is and will be my main editor for the foreseeable future, as it's clear to me that there's no other editor I feel more comfortable with, which is why I spent some time cleaning up my .emacs.d and making it more "manageable".
However, there's this one little thing that still bothers quite me a lot of Eclipse: you need to manually setup the include paths for the external dependencies not in a standard location that a C/C++ project uses, so that you can get certain features properly working such as code auto-completion, automatic error-checking features, call hierarchies… and so forth.
And yes, I know there is an Eclipse plugin adding support for pkg-config which should do the job quite well. But for some reason I can't get it to work with Eclipse Mars, even though others apparently can use it there for some reason (and I remember using it with Eclipse Juno, so it's definitely not a myth).
Anyway, I did not feel like fighting with that (broken?) plugin, and in the other hand I was actually quite inclined to play a bit with Python so… my quick and dirty solution to get over this problem was to write a small script that takes a list of package names (as you would pass them to pkg-config) and generates the XML content that you can use to import in Eclipse. And surprisingly, that worked quite well for me, so I'm sharing it here in case someone else finds it useful.
…and then I simply import frogr-eclipse.xml from the project's properties, inside the C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols section.
After doing that I get rid of all the brokenness caused by so many missing symbols and header files, I get code auto-completion nicely working back again and all those perks you would expect from this little big IDE. And all that without having to go through the pain of defining all of them one by one from the settings dialog, thank goodness!
This has been very helpful for me, hope it will be helpful to someone else too!
It's been 7 years already since I started using Emacs and, for some reason, I still haven't found a text editor I do feel more comfortable with, and I Swear to Gods I've tried. I really did. And as proof, I can tell that those who know me a bit can really support this statement, no doubt about it.
The thing is that, for some reason or another, whenever I tried a different editor, a fancy IDE or anything else, the result was always the same: I first realize of a new and very interesting feature X in the editor Y which makes me think for a while "hmmm… this could be the one", then I start using that editor Y for a while, then I realize I'm not comfortable enough for many other things, then I realize I'm continuously alternating between that editor and Emacs and then… finally… I somehow manage to "port" that very nice feature X to Emacs and ditch editor Y to finally come back to the origin again.
And that has been the story of my (text editing) life so far. And, as you can see, I haven't written a blog post about every single feature X I added to my Emacs. But this time is different.
Everything started, as usual, with me willing to try a new text editor, and this time I selected Sublime Text 2 as the one to check, mainly because I wanted to check myself whether of all the hype around it was justified or whether it was just… well… just hype.
If you don't believe me, you should really checkout its website and, even better, the "Perfect Workflow in Sublime Text2" tutorial and you will see yourself what I'm talking about.
However, not all were bells and whistles in my ST2 experience. There were drawbacks too, and the main ones I could see were that it was not an Open Source editor and that the bus-factor was really scary (only one developer, I think). And those two things together were a serious concern to me. But I tried it anyway, because it really feel like it could be a serious competitor for my Emacs, and I was willing to take the risk, just for the sake of checking it (and playing around with a new editor, which I confess is something I love doing every now and then in any case).
But yet again, the same pattern happened one more time: I found myself loving ST2 in many regards but alternating too often between it and Emacs since, even if ST2 was lovely for many things, there was nothing that was really convincing me of replacing my Emacs in favour of it. Well, almost nothing… because the "multiple cursors" feature in ST2 got my attention as not many text editor features got it in the last years.
As you can see, this feature is amazingly useful for many things of everyone's life (well, maybe not really everyone's, but almost!), as it's incredibly helpful for things like massive "search & replace", improving code structure (e.g. break a list of strings in one single line into multiple ones) and many other situations.
Others might disagree, of course, but for me there's a "before" and an "after" I knew about this feature, and I don't think I will be able to easily move now to an editor which doesn't have something like this available in some way.
Should you want to try it out yourself, I recommend you to check out both episode 13 in "Emacs Rocks!" as well as the github repository where you'll find the package for Emacs.

Q: Jquery: Preload an image on request with a callback function? I'm helping out a friend with a website he's developing and we are having trouble with preloading images on request. Basically, when the user clicks on a thumbnail of the product a <div> slides down that includes a scrolling carrousel of large images. In total there are about 20MB of images that could be loaded in (if you did them all) so preloading them on the page load would not be an option.
Is there a way that we could call a javascript function that begins to preload about 4 images and then when it's done it has a callback function?
Thanks!
P.S. We are using jQuery on the page...

A: Preloading images can be done using following code:
$('<img/'>,{'src': image_source});

As we can also use the load event on images, we can have an callback when one image is done; To solve the issue to fire a callback after four images is loaded, we would need some kind of counter.
Perhaps following code might work (untested):
var preloadImages = function(image_links, callback) {
  var self = this;
  // assume image_links is an array here
  var count = image_links.length;
  $.each( image_links, function(){
    $('<img/>', {
      'src': this, // url
      'load': function(){
        if( --count == 0 ) {
          callback.apply(self);
        }
      }
    });
  });

Tech Giants O, Multichannel Marketers 1
Rocket Agency co-founder, James Lawrence (main photo), argues businesses should never solely rely on a single tech giant for their marketing…
Many business owners, and plenty of marketers, had sleepless nights when it looked like Google and Facebook might take their bat and ball and go home. In this guest post, co-founder of Sydney digital marketing agency Rocket, James Lawrence explains why skimping on channels is never a good idea.
Circa late February, I noticed clients were becoming far more receptive to my arguments against relying on one or two channels to market their business.
Suddenly, the usual protestations about limited time and resources and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" exhortations were replaced with nervous claims that it was impossible the 800-pound tech gorillas would abandon Australia to stop politicians in North America, Europe and Asia getting any wrong-headed ideas.
At the time of writing, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Rupert Murdoch and Scott Morrison appear to have established a modus vivendi. The temptation for some businesses and marketers will be to continue with their simple (one or two channel) way of doing things.
There are two reasons that temptation should be resisted
The tech giants can't be relied on
Recent events have demonstrated it's possible Google or Facebook (or Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok and Clubhouse) could abruptly exit the Australian market. Yes, they'd take a financial hit. But they could easily absorb it and may decide a scorched-earth strategy down under is justified if it wards off heavier regulation and taxation elsewhere in the world.
Even if that doesn't happen – and I accept it's unlikely – these companies have form when it comes to the single-minded pursuit of their own agenda regardless of any collateral damage caused. Just ask any small business owner who's allocated their entire marketing budget to SEO only to go broke due to an unexpected and unexplained algorithm update.
Multiple channels are now required to cut through
For the sake of argument, let's assume Australian businesses will always have the option of investing in tried-and-tested Facebook or Google ads.
It remains the case that in 2021, hardly anyone makes a purchasing decision as a result of only seeing something advertised on Google or Facebook. The average person now needs plenty of prompting before they will decide to act; the Online Marketing Institute says it takes 7-13 touchpoints to deliver a qualified sales lead.
Some of those touchpoints may be more impactful than others, but they all play some part in closing a sale. That can seem counter-intuitive, but I've seen it proven many times over. For instance, a business that embraces a multichannel approach will often observe that almost all their leads or sales appear to be coming from one or two channels. They will sometimes make the rookie mistake of culling the poorly performing channels to redirect resources to the channels generating conversions. The high-performance channels will almost always then stop performing so well, making it clear the 'underperformers' were crucial touchpoints in the buyer's journey across a collection of channels.
A business will usually get some ROI if it devotes resources to just paid search. Or paid social. Or email marketing. Or display advertising.
But, when working with Rocket clients, I've found that investing in at least three different channels typically generates the most impressive results. And it's not only our clients who've benefited from the channel diversification I'm championing. Apple, Starbucks and Airbnb, as well as Mercedes-Benz, Heineken, Land Rover and Under Armour, have all enjoyed well-publicised successes by embracing a multichannel approach.
In marketing, whatever the question, a single channel is never the answer.

The Residency Program for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants
Dr. Richard Izquierdo – affectionately known as "Doc" – was born in East Harlem on October 23, 1929, to Serafin and Sinda Izquierdo, one of New York City's original "bodegueros." Doc's dedication has always been to serve the medical needs of his community. For many years, he was one of the few doctors in the community. He became an icon for the neighborhood and a person that was always sought out. He truly became "The Urban Country Doctor."
He and his wife Adelita were married in 1954. Doc graduated from University of Lausanne Medical School in Switzerland in 1957, and completed his internship and residency programs in pediatrics at Fordham Hospital and post-graduate courses at New York University. In 1962, he opened his first practice on Southern Boulevard in the Bronx, two blocks from where he grew up.
In 1967, he was appointed by Borough President Herman Badillo to be the first chairman of the newly formed Community Planning Board. He also served as the Chairman of the 41st Precinct Community Council for fourteen years.
That same year, Doc purchased an abandoned building on Southern Boulevard and Westchester Avenue with a down payment of $3000 to create the San Juan Health Center. The "San Juan Health Center," operated until 1974, when it became Urban Health Plan, Inc., a federally qualified community health center licensed by New York State. Today Urban Health Plan is one of the largest health centers in New York State.
Doc has served on numerous and varied organizations. He hosted a radio program called "Puerto Rican Panorama" on NBC and interviewed over 150 prominent Puerto Ricans. He has been an active member of the Bronx Medical Society and the Medical Society of the State of New York, as well as the Spanish American Medical-Dental Society since 1962.
He has served on the board of the Association for the Help of Retarded Children for over 20 years. This recognizes the needs of children with special needs and developmental disabilities and honors the memory of Jackie, Doc's third child who was born with Down's Syndrome.
On January 23, 2007, Doc was awarded the Surgeon General's Medallion from the 17th Surgeon General of the United States, Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., FACS, This award is the highest honor that the Surgeon General can bestow on a civilian or officer. Doc was Dr. Carmona's childhood doctor and his lifelong personal mentor. In 2013 he received the Dr. Jack Geiger Award from the Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS). In 2016, he was awarded the Maclovio Barraza Award for Leadership from UnidosUS (formerly the National Council of La Raza). The award recognizes those who have worked for the betterment of the Hispanic community at the grassroots level and whose leadership has served as a source of strength and support to the Hispanic community.
One of Doc's dreams was to provide a quality education to free the children of the South Bronx from the bonds of poverty and provide quality health care to the community. In September 2010, his dream was fulfilled with the opening of the Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School. The school is the first charter school in New York City to offer a Career and Technical Education program geared specifically toward preparing students for jobs in the health care sector, including Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification.

20/20 Movie Reviews Home
Feux rouges (2004)
"Always keep your eyes on the road"
Director: Cedric Kahn
Cast: Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Carole Bouquet, Vincent Deniard
Synopsis: Antoine and Helene drive to South France to return their kids from a holiday camp. The traffic is dense and the atmosphere growingly tense; he is an alcoholic and becomes increasingly drunk…
Whether viewed as an allegorical tale about men's need for the control they feel is threatened by the ascendancy of women (in such areas as law, for example), an arty study of the blurring of fantasy with reality, or simply as a straightforward thriller that focuses on the fragility of what we have and take for granted, and how quickly it can be stolen from us, Red Lights is a film that doesn't quite succeed in any of its potential interpretations.
Jean-Pierre Darroussin, normally a supporting actor, is elevated to the status of leading man in the part of Antoine, an insurance clerk with a successful lawyer wife (Carole Bouquet) and a drinking problem apparently exacerbated by his feelings of inadequacy. Their marriage seems to be one that was played out long before we meet them on the day they drive to Bourdeaux to collect their two children from summer camp. There is no intimacy between them, and Antoine seems transfixed by his wife's body as she showers, suggesting their sex life is a thing of the past. Antoine drinks during the road trip strewn with traffic jams and wrong turns, and it is a journey that seems to mirror his inexorable descent into his own personal hell as he drunkenly snipes at his wife to the point where she chooses to continue the journey by train rather than stay with him. It's a decision that has tragic consequences for them both…
There's a deliberate ambiguity in this film about what is taking place on the screen that tends to irritate more than intrigue, and plot holes that can only be explained away by attributing the most audacious interpretation to writer/director Cedric Kahn's intentions. He toys with the viewer's sympathies at times in much the same way that Hitchcock used to but with far less skill or success, and the fact that Antoine is such an unmitigated jerk for much of the film simply makes it difficult for the viewer to relate or empathise with his situation. While we might care about what exactly has happened to his wife Helene — and Kahn does draw out the answers to these questions in a way that is extremely suspenseful — we're not really moved by Antoine's growing concern for her safety, or the peril in which he — perhaps knowingly — places himself. There is a suggestion that the sequence in which he gives a lift to an escaped convict is simply Antoine's drunken fantasy/dream which, while explaining away such discrepancies as why they are waved through a road block and why the police later find no evidence of the stranger's presence in the car, is carried off in such an oblique manner that it comes across as a cheat on the viewer. Sure, it means there is a degree of thought and concentration required on the part of the audience, which is always a good thing, but when the reward for such effort is as scant as it is here you wonder whether it's worth the effort.
Darroussin and Bouquet both give terrific performances, and Kahn does manage to deliver a couple of quietly effective set-pieces but, for the most part, the storyline is beset with so many problems that it eventually overwhelms much of the good things to be found.

Strelasundquerung – połączenie drogowe mostem o nazwie Rügenbrücke oraz równoległe połączenie drogowo-kolejowe groblą i mostem zwodzonym o nazwie Rügendamm przez cieśninę Strelasund pomiędzy Stralsundem na lądzie stałym a Altefähr na Rugii na terenie Niemiec w kraju związkowym Meklemburgia-Pomorze Przednie. Jest to jedyne drogowe i kolejowe połączenie wyspy Rugia z lądem stałym. Przeprawa stanowi część drogi krajowej B96.

Rügendamm

Do XX w. jedynym połączeniem Rugii z lądem stałym był prom kursujący pomiędzy Stralsundem a znajdującą się na Rugii miejscowością Altefähr. W 1863 roku do Stralsundu otwarto linię kolejową łączącą miasto z Berlinem, natomiast 20 lat później otwarto linię kolejową na terenie Rugii z Altefähr do Bergen auf Rügen. Połączenie przez Strelasund odbywało się promem. W 1909 roku uruchomiono połączenie promowe z położonego na Rugii Sassnitz do Szwecji. W tym samym roku, wraz ze wzrostem popularności nadmorskich kurortów na Rugii, przez Strelasund kursowało nawet 90 par promów dziennie. Rozpoczęły się więc plany budowy połączenia drogowo-kolejowego mającego połączyć wyspę z lądem stałym. W 1932 roku ze wsparciem finansowym rządu Szwecji ruszyły prace budowlane nad dwuczęściowym połączeniem z wykorzystaniem istniejącej wyspy Dänholm. Ze Stralsundu na nią dojeżdżało się mostem zwodzonym o długości 540 m, natomiast dalej na Rugię wiodła grobla oraz częściowo most o długości 2045 m. Otwarcie mostu nastąpiło w październiku 1936 roku. Nowe połączenie skróciło czas podróży na wyspę o godzinę i przyczyniło się do wzrostu ruchu turystycznego.

W 1986 roku w związku z pogarszającym się stanem technicznym przeprawy, obniżono dopuszczalną prędkość samochodów z 90 do 30 km/h. W maju 1990 roku odbył się remont przeprawy z wymianą uszkodzonych elementów konstrukcyjnych.

Rügenbrücke

Pomimo remontu dotychczasowej przeprawy, przepustowość Rügendamm była zbyt mała w stosunku do rosnącego ruchu na Rugię. W związku z tym rozpoczęto planowanie budowy nowej przeprawy równolegle do istniejącej. Postanowiono wybudować nowy trzypasmowy most wantowy na północ od istniejącej przeprawy. Miała ona przebiegać nad wyspą Dänholm, całkowicie ją omijając. Prześwit 42 metrów pod mostem miał umożliwiać swobodny ruch statków przez Strelasund bez stosowania mostu zwodzonego. Początkowo Ministerstwo Transportu Niemiec planowało wybudowanie nowego mostu w ramach partnerstwa publiczno-prywatnego, jednak do przetargu ogłoszonego w 2003 roku nie stanął żaden podmiot. W związku z powyższym zmieniono sposób finansowania inwestycji. Początkowo miała ona kosztować 85 mln euro, jednak ostatecznie koszty wyniosły 125 mln. Za generalnego wykonawcę robót wybrano przedsiębiorstwo Walter Bau AG z Augsburga. Prace budowlane ruszyły 31 sierpnia 2004 roku, a budowę zakończono trzy lata później. Oficjalne otwarcie nastąpiło 10 października 2007 roku. Wzięła w nim udział m.in. kanclerz Niemiec Angela Merkel. Łącznie przeprawa ma długość 4097 m, z czego 2830 m stanowi sam most. Dzienna przepustowość konstrukcji wynosi 20 tys. pojazdów. Most ma trzy pasy ruchu, z czego kierunek obowiązujący na pasie środkowym zależy od aktualnego natężenia ruchu.

Resources (art/culture) »SNAPSHOT: Cultural Equity Statements
SNAPSHOT: Cultural Equity Statements
by Arts for a Better Bay Area
Mark Sabb is the Director of Marketing & Communications at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) and Sarah Pritchard is the Director of Communications at SOMArts Cultural Center. They recently sat down to discuss organizational statements on cultural equity in the arts. Here's an excerpt from their conversation, including quick links to more resources on crafting a cultural equity statement that fits your organization.
With organizations like Americans for the Arts adopting Cultural Equity Statements, it seems like there is growing momentum behind arts organizations adopting statements that detail their approach to cultural equity. What do you think is motivating this trend?
Increasingly, arts organizations are understanding their responsibility to the communities they service. I think Americans for the Arts did a great job offering a definition of the term as embodying "the values, policies, and practices that ensure that all people—including but not limited to those who have been historically underrepresented based on race/ethnicity, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion—are represented in the development of arts policy; the support of artists; the nurturing of accessible, thriving venues for expression; and the fair distribution of programmatic, financial, and informational resources."
Cultural Equity takes into account that we all have valuable stories and complex histories while also recognizing that certain communities have histories which have been historically repressed. I think it is important for every arts organization to have these ideals as a part of their core values.
We were asked to create a template for Bay Area organizations interested in creating cultural equity statements. After talking it over, we decided that we would rather provide a list of resources so that organizations could be more intentional about crafting statements that are a good fit for their unique settings. We didn't want to encourage a copy-and-paste approach to addressing systemic issues of inequality in organizations' cultures.
Along with the direction Sarah stated above, we believe that it is important to remember the cultural perspective and history of the community you serve when creating cultural equity statements. As arts organizations we should do all we can to encourage strength in diversity and collaboration.
As part of ABBA's work, we are committed to promoting a just and fair arts ecosystem in the Bay Area — working together to eradicate systemic racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia when they manifest in the arts world. If adopting a cultural equity statement at your arts organization will help achieve those goals, see below for some of the resources we were able to find and contact ABBA if you would like to connect about how to implement a cultural equity statement. We would love to work with you!
Example cultural equity statements:

Regional Arts & Culture Council Statement on Equity and Inclusion
PolicyLink's Equity Manifesto

Jeff Jones commented 2016-09-01 10:38:54 -0700
The following was the original statement adopted by the 1990 San Francisco Arts Task Force that established the Cultural Equity grants program. The Task Force, appointed by the Board of Supervisors, had 59-members; the vote was 58 yes, 0 no, with one abstention.
—-Jeff Jones
CEG grants are offered in the spirit that all people who make up the city ought to have fair access to information, financial resources and opportunities for full cultural expression, as well as opportunities to be represented in the development of arts policy and the distribution of arts
resources; that all the cultures and subcultures of the city are represented in thriving, visible arts organizations of all sizes; that new large-budget arts institutions whose programming reflects the
experiences of historically underserved communities flourish.

All this very day there is an heavy tension, an unsought for expectation of events unanticipated and unforeseen to come in The City. This tension is throughout the air. It is heavy. It wholly permeates the atmosphere which all of us stroll in. And, in time, unconsciously and unknowingly, this subtle and covert tension weighs one unwittingly down - being so hiddenly oppressive - forsooth it truly craves, it truly cries out for a resolution, a relief from this unrelieved and unmitigated ponderous onus!
Albeit close on the edge of summer, the day becomes preternaturally dark adding to the atmosphere of oppressiveness and the intangible feeling of events to unfold.
A gentle zephyr caresses my body. It becomes stronger - a more humid breeze teasingly tousles my hair. All of a sudden I am struck with a juxtaposition - this incoming storm - and that of a concert!
I am sitting on my terrazzino - and suddenly at once - the thought strikes me that this is my box seat! The parallels are striking - this humid oppressiveness of the day is akin to the anticipation of attending a special concert, having purchased a ticket awhile before and waiting for the event to happen. My musings are interrupted abruptly by a hint of a flash - a lightning flash. So, the movement begins. A long pause - a faint drumroll is heard just as if a musician was preparing his kettledrums.
A slight drizzle ensues, random micro-droplets intermittently disport themselves upon me, akin to detached notes randomly playing, but there is a theme here, yet to be realized. The thrumming of the patter of the rain is akin to a pedal point of this incipient movement. Then - a true first flash - a second - and even a third!
The tension in the air is still palpable as the following low rumble, almost obligatory after the lightening flashes reverberates amongst the heavens. In a smooth transition, a tribute to the hidden conductor, the pedal point, the one of the drizzle picks up the pace. It thrums more noticeabley in a faster tempo, coming more to the fore. The zephyr becomes a stronger breeze, as the theme of this movement developed. Then - from nowhere, an unexpected high pitched peal of thunder stridingly resounds as if it were a giant cymbal clangingly clashing! A quick flicker of light illuminates the heavens and again the heavens resound with celestial horns, asserting itself over the increasing downpour of rain.
I shift in my box seat - my eyrie, as I espy, in the dark, the tableau of sights and listen to multitudinous sounds. I'm an observer, not a participant, and my senses are heightened by the dynamics of the atmosphere which is, by now, far less oppressive than before, being literally electrically charged! Again, I am struck, how alike to a symphonic concert this powerful display of nature presents. There are woodwinds - the susurrus of winds, and the pedal point represented by the powerful steady downpour, rising from time to time in a crescendo and at times diminishing, as if the unknown composer inserted a diminuendo to the orchestra.
I sit back in my seat which seems to be the best seat in the house, albeit I am alone. The movement continues slowly when all of a sudden a hideous and wholly siren interjects itself no less harshly as if a cell phone by a thoughtless patron blared out. Somehow, in conjunction, no doubt triggered by this errant and despicable intrusion, a cacophonic chorus of car alarms ensues.
The spell of the night is fractured.
However, all of a sudden, the second movement is engaged! The pedal point - the rain - is now furiously strumming/pouring in all their harmonious glory. This tempest picks up flashes and accompanies almost in tandem by the percussion of deep drum rolls edged with cymbalic clashes! 'tis wondrous to behold by sight and ear and body! For the sound permeates and one does truly feel the reverberations in the chest - this sound, forsooth, extends its way beyond one's range of hearing and the low registers of the sound rumbles throughout the torso.
I sit up, stand, and then lean over the parapet/railing so once more entranced and enchanted by tonight's performance. I inhale - and soak in the scent of wondrously damp earth and faint scents of unknown plants and herbs intermingled. It is good that I am dressed appropriate for the occasion (not in a tuxedo, but in shorts!) for I now can feel gentle zephyrs coming to caress me in counterpoint and even syncopated adornments of over-watery dew, sensuously covering my skin, and then again playfully tousling my hair. After a tad, they become more insistent that I needs resume my seat. Just in time for a the most brilliant lightning strike followed almost instantaneously by an intense titanic tympanic clash! Truly I am in the best seat and I return to the reality of what is transpiring (after the dreadful interruption) - fearful that I may miss some part! Now, consoled by the pouring rain I am once more captivated! Flashes of lightning and accompaning rumbles are as if a celestial Verdian "Dies Irae" composed them! Then it ebbs - an interlude ensues, the rains lessen, the flickers of lightning become just flickers of light, no longer insanely crashing acoss the rain drenched night sky.
Terrazzino - Italian for "little terrace". Colloquially known as balconies. I like the feel of the word on my tongue - a staccato (SPELLING?) expression, if you would, which plays upon the percussive effects of storm and musical concert.
Pedal point - used in music, this is a single tone usually in the bass used sustained over a course of a piece.
Eyrie - for truly my terrazzino is elevated and a secluded perch from which I gaze upon all!
scent - on my terrazzino are grown many plants and herbs and unknowns!

HAVANA, Cuba, Monday September 29, 2014 – What started out as a fragrant celebration of the memories of Ernesto Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez deteriorated into a stink overnight after it got up the noses of supporters of the Cuban Revolution.
The odious affair began on Thursday with the unveiling of two new colognes – "Ernesto" and "Hugo" – by Labiofam, a state laboratory in the Cuban capital.
According to the pharmaceutical company, "Ernesto," the cologne named after the Argentine-born revolutionary who fought alongside Fidel Castro in the 1959 Cuban Revolution, would be a woodsy and refreshing citrus scent with notes of talc.
"Hugo," named after the late Venezuelan president, who was a close ally of the communist Caribbean country and a friend of its former leader Fidel Castro, would offer a softer, fruitier fragrance with hints of mango and papaya.
The pharmaceutical company had been in the process of developing stylised bottles and labels for the fragrances before marketing them in Cuba and overseas.
"We didn't want to create propaganda, but rather pay homage to them [Guevara and Chavez) and help their names endure," Cuban biochemist Mario Valdes, who led the perfume design team, said on Thursday.
Labiofam also stated that it had obtained the agreement of the families of Guevara and Chavez to use their names for the colognes.
All appeared to be smelling like a rose until the project was derided in the social networks and lambasted by supporters of the Cuban Revolution, who deemed it disrespectful.
Enter the Cuban government, which, in a statement in the official Granma newspaper, described the project as "a serious error" and denied that the families of the two late revolutionary leaders had been consulted over the use of the names.
"The details of this irresponsible action were discussed in detail on Friday with the company's director and the employees who presented the products, which were still being developed," read the statement of the Executive Committee of the Ministers' Council, headed by Cuban President Raul Castro.
"The appropriate measures will be taken to deal with this serious error," it warned.

Royal Seals is an introduction to the seals of the kings and queens of England, Scotland and latterly the United Kingdom, as well as the Church and nobility.
Ranging from Medieval times to modern day, it uses images of impressive wax seals held at The National Archives to show the historical importance of these beautiful works of art.
Included are features on the great seals of famous monarchs like Richard III, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and twentieth-century monarchs, as well as insights on the role of seals in treaties and foreign policy.
With ecclesiastical seals and those of the nobility and lower orders included, this is a comprehensive and lavishly illustrated guide.
I absolutely loved this book. I have always been very interested in the history of the monarchy and believe it is an essential part of England's history and an important part of the future as well. This was an intriguing look into the past through the National Archives... The bibliography is quite comprehensive and demonstrates that really there is a gap in the market to write about this, especially from an author who spends his working life with these seals and other historical artefacts. This is a book I will keep on my shelf for years to come and dip in and out of.
Tudor Blogger
The book should interest readers of Medieval Archaeology, providing a good introduction to the subject through what is undoubtedly an amazing national collection.

Now I will admit you might pick this book up and think it's not going to be that interesting, but I can assure you, it is. But it is actually very fascinating as the book looks at the different types of seal used by various monarchs and why the seal came into being. We read about some of the most notable monarchs such as Charles II, George IV, James I, Henry VIII and more. But what has to be the best part of this book produced in conjunction with the National Archives, is the high quality of the pictures, certainly fantastic and really do show off the book at its best.
UK Historian
This is such a fantastic book because it offers a glimpse of royal, personal and ecclesiastical seals of the kings and queens of England, Scotland and the United Kingdom. The best part of this book are the stunning, high-quality photographs so you don't have to imagine what these seals looked like. The book was published in association with the National Archives, so you can admire these beauties at home, just by looking at them! I loved it.

Chelsea's pursuit of the Champions League promotion continues this midweek as the Blues welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Stamford Bridge.
The hosts come into this meeting after pulling off a stunning comeback against Cardiff City to secure all three points away from home and keep fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur at a one-point distance. Although the Pensioners failed to impress on the road this campaign, they've been outstanding at home, securing nine wins in 15 PL home outings (W9, D5, L1). What's more, Maurizio Sarri's men are unbeaten in all five of their previous PL home games (W3, D2), keeping three clean sheets, while scoring 2+ match goals three times during the run. Another encouraging fact for the home fans is Chelsea's 100% success in H2Hs with Brighton since the Seagulls joined the English top flight (W3).
Meanwhile, the visitors' ups and downs can still cost them the top-flight status as they currently sit just five points clear of 18th-placed Cardiff City although they have one game in hand. However, a poor run of form that has seen them lose six of their previous nine PL fixtures (W2, D1, L6) indicates they will have to come up with something special to avoid another failure here. The Seagulls are far more comfortable at home having secured just 33.33% of their total PL points away from home. Chris Hughton's men have lost three of their last four PL road clashes (W1, L3) allowing over 1.5 goals per match in each failure. Another potential problem for Brighton is their uninspiring performance in the final third as they reside the sixth-worst attacking road team in the English top tier (15 goals scored in 15 away games).

New York City's Plastic Nag Bags
Jillian Kay Melchior	| Heat Street	| May 6, 2016
New York's City council voted this week to force retailers to charge a fee of at least 5 cents for each plastic bag. "The fee is irritating, which his precisely why it works," Councilwoman Margaret Chin, the legislation's main sponsor, told the New York Times. "We don't want to pay it, so we'll bring [reusable] bags instead. So the fact that it's irritating irritates a lot of people."
It's bad enough that New York's council has deliberately set out to annoy and frustrate its constituents. Even worse, this pesky rule is may actually do even more damage to the environment—and it comes with some serious health risks for consumers.
Plastic bag litter is actually much less of a problem than New York's City Council realizes. One comprehensive study found that plastic bags account for just 0.6 percent of all litter. And New Yorkers already often end up reusing their bags, lining bathroom trash cans or cleaning up after dogs on the street.
The environmental argument against plastic bags isn't strong, either. Reusable bags are much more carbon-intensive to create, so consumers have to use them a whole lot of times before they become greener than the alternative.
The United Kingdom studied this in depth, factoring in everything from the extraction of raw materials to a reusable bag's manufacture, distribution and disposal. It concluded that the basic plastic bag is actually 200 times greener than cotton reusable bags.
A consumer would have to use a cotton bag no fewer than 131 times before it becomes greener than flimsy plastic; polypropylene is a bit better, but still requires at least 11 uses before breaking even.
But a recent Clemson study found that consumers forgot their reusable bags about 40 percent of the time. And on average, those reusable polypropylene bags ended up getting only about 3.1 uses before shoppers tossed them.
In addition to the bag ban's nebulous environmental benefits, there's also a major ick factor.
A whopping 97 percent of consumers don't regularly wash their bags, according to a report from the University of Arizona and Loma Linda University. Their researchers swabbed 84 bags for bacteria, and the findings were outright nasty: coliform bacteria in half, E. coli in 12 percent.
When San Francisco banned plastic bags, the number of E. coli infections spiked. Even worse, the number of foodborne-illness deaths rose a whopping 46 percent in the three months after the bag ban began.
Far be it from the green do-gooders on New York's City Council to consider something as boring as science, though. They've got a planet to save!
