A Brief History Of Women's Health Specialists

FOR WOMEN, BY WOMEN
Much has changed and much has stayed the same since the Feminist Women's Health Center started 30 years ago. It was 1971, and a group of women sat in a circle performing pelvic exams on themselves.They were curious, determined and fiercely feminist. A group of speculum-passing "hippies" may sound odd, but to the women who founded the Feminist Women's Health Center it was serious business. Deadly serious.
Roe v. Wade had yet to give women abortion rights, and the desperate were dying in alleyways and shady facilities. Men dominated the gynecological field and few women took an active role in their own health care.
"A group of speculum-passing "hippies" may sound odd, but to the women who founded the Feminist Women's Health Center it was serious business. Deadly serious."
For the group of women who used a mirror, flashlight and speculum to gain knowledge, it signified the grass-roots beginning of a national movement not only for women's health, but for the idea that women should be in control of their own bodies. The next step for the sisterhood was to share this knowledge with other women. Carol Downer and a colleague named Lorraine Rothman started an abortion referral service in Los Angeles, and in 1973, when the Supreme Court legalized abortion, they joined a group of women in opening the first Feminist Women's Health Center there. From there, the movement grew as supporters traveled to Los Angeles, and later, Oakland, to train for months and then start clinics in other cities including, in 1975, the private, non profit Chico Feminist Women's Health Center.
"It was their sheer dedication and willingness to work for nothing that got the clinic off the ground," said Shauna Heckert, the center's executive director. The hours were long and the pay was miniscule, if anything. "The first person to get paid was the person answering the phone."
This year, the Chico clinic, now called Women's Health Specialists, also celebrates 30 years helping women understand their bodies, obtain birth control and get safer abortions.
MAKING IT RIGHT

A lot has changed in three decades. The Chico clinic first opened at 330 Flume St., moved more than once, and is now located at 1469 Humboldt Road. Since then, countless women have passed through its doors, collectively helping to alter the way women's bodies are viewed in a medical environment. Heckert refers to the last 30 years as a long series of opportunities and challenges. There have been anti-abortion protests and arsons. There have been death threats. In July 2004, staffers and volunteers mourned the death of Dido Hasper, one of the Chico women who founded the clinic and someone Heckert calls "an icon of the women's movement and the community."Heckert said, "First and foremost the celebration is that we're still here."
Speculum-passing has been replaced by a full-fledge legitimate medical practice, but the mission remains the same: helping women help themselves. "Women cannot be free if someone else is controlling their lives and their reproduction, " Heckert said. "When you're fighting for the liberation of women, you're fighting for the liberation of all people." A lot has changed in three decades.

"Speculum-passing has been replaced by a full-fledge legitimate medical practice, but the mission remains the same: helping women help themselves."
Prior to the existence of the Feminist Women's Health Center, if a woman in the Chico area had certain questions about her body, it necessitated a trip to the Bay Area, said Eileen Schnitger, development director for the clinic. "There was no place to get information about women's bodies; there was no over-the-counter pregnancy test, no birth control availability, no abortion services," Schnitger said. Even after abortions became legal, doctors shirked from the job, not wanting to wrap themselves up in what was largely considered a shameful practice.
"This was not a situation where all of a sudden abortion became legal and all of a sudden a million doctors went, 'Oh, I'm going to provide abortions,'" Heckert said.
Anti-abortion activists have repeatedly targeted the Chico clinic, making it a hot bed of political, religious and social controversy."To firebombs to clinic invasion to being evicted, you name it--we've run the gamut. But every day in the last 30 years we have provided services in our building no matter what," Heckert said. The federal government didn't do much to help, treating each clinic arson as an isolated event, making investigation impossible. "It was really difficult to have doctors coming to our training programs and for clinics across the country during the years when abortion clinic terrorism was being supported by the federal government through President Reagan and Bush Senior," Schnitger said. There was not much of an anti-abortion movement when the centers began, but in the 1980s, when the Republican Party adopted an anti-abortion platform, it really took off. Center leaders secured restraining orders against protestors and started a "clinic escort" program to protect clients from harassment.

"We weathered all these storms, because what we were doing was right and safe and good, and women kept coming to us no matter what,""
When an arson fire tore through the Redding clinic in 1990, clients traveled Chico for services. Two years later, an anti-abortionist posing as a patient let loose butyric acid in the basement, causing a noxious smell and forcing an evacuation. Those involved with Feminist Women's Health Centers have found themselves also serving as lobbyists, fighting for causes as diverse as FDA approval of cervical caps, legal midwifery and health insurance contracts. (The clinic's name was changed in 1996 to drop the feminist reference and "make the clinic more palatable to HMOs,"Heckert said."The established medical community saw the women's health movement as a threat to them and were very offended that their practices, their beliefs, were being questioned, because they'd never been questioned before," Heckert said. "They were coming at us like ...it was witchcraft or something." "We weathered all these storms, because what we were doing was right and safe and good, and women kept coming to us no matter what," she said.
Despite appearances given by protestors and arsonists, surgical abortions are not the extent of the clinic's services to the Chico area. More than anything, the aim of the Women's Health Specialists is to educate women about their bodies and put them in the driver's seat."We see women's bodies as normal and healthy, and that women will always make the best health care decisions for themselves, if they have all the information," Heckert said.
PROUD SISTERHOOD
The assumption that doctors should and do know everything is a thing of the past, a notion that was changed in part by the self-help efforts of the nine laywomen who started the first clinic in Los Angeles.
"They did self-exams together, and they learned so much about their own bodies; things that were never shared or even known by physicians about normal, healthy women, and that really inspired them to open their own clinic and provide the kind of health care they wanted to receive, that other women wanted to receive," Schnitger said.

Such women-run clinics began to spread across the country as more and more women took interest in what was generally considered a radical new approach to health care."We wanted to change the way the medical community treated women, women's lives, and women's reproduction," Heckert said.
The clinics are part of a federation that has spread to other locations in cities including Redding, Sacramento and Santa Rosa, their doors always open to women who need help or just want information. They come to Women's Health Specialists for annual pelvic exams, pap smears, treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, adoption services, various forms of birth control and emergency contraception. In 2000, the clinics were the first provider of the "abortion pill" in California.
It doesn't matter to clinic staff if a woman seeking the morning-afterpill is diligent with birth control or chronically careless. "We will never criticize a woman for her birth control strategy," Heckert said. In addition, men can come to the clinic for condoms, STD screenings, HIV tests and physical checkups.
YES, THAT'S A SPECULUM

At first glance the clinic looks just like a doctor's office, but it is far from typical. This is exactly the type of atmosphere the clinic strives to achieve, Heckert said. "Our goal is to change those institutions so women leave their healthcare setting with more information that when they'd arrived, with more choices than when they'd arrived, and feeling positive about themselves and their bodies." In the last 30 years, the clinic's supporters have managed to do just that. While they still struggle with people who don't share their vision, the women agree that has never been a reason to quit.
"I think that the whole idea of the 30th anniversary is to learn from the history of the health center and understand its importance in today's world." Heckert said. "We look to the present and to the past and to the future. And I think that's the strength of our organization. We've always looked forward while learning from our past."

• Avoid immediate rubbing at a carpet stains. This could only cause it to smear and become irreversible. Performing this can also damage the fiber causing your own carpet to wear out quicker.
Handle well unsightly stains so they will not come back on the area of your own carpet. Cover any stain by using a thick towel and then weigh down with something heavy immediately, making it possible for the towel to absorb the stain then clean as usual. Do not ever use a hair dryer or an iron to dry a carpet stain since this can only seal the spot permanently on your rug.
• A clean rug is one that is consistently maintained. Take the time to vacuum often enough and make sure to get it done properly, meaning going over the carpet in a number of directions to permit the vacuum to pick up all the debris it can. Make sure to steam clean or even deep clean your own carpet as often as needed. For you to have a complete clean carpet, you need to have this cleaned by a skilled carpet cleaner. A recommended company is available in San Diego, CA. PENINSULA CARPET CARE is simply a click away.
• Regarding particularly obstinate mold and mildew, make use of a non-chlorine bleach or even lemon juice and salt solution for colored fabrics. You can just slightly brush the spot using a solution of peroxide (1 part of 3 % hydrogen peroxide into five parts of water), however you need to ensure that your particular solution does not deteriorate the material of your rug.
• Be alert for spillages then take care of them quickly to maintain a thoroughly clean carpet. By making use of water on the spill will help most spills. And additionally, if this fails, improve your search. You will find several items in the marketplace which can help you to definitely take care of spills instantly. These items range in uses and will be useful when you partner them with the type of spill that has occurred. Combining water and vinegar will also help you keep all the spots out. Remember, taking immediate action may help to prevent spills from becoming stains leaving you with a clean rug.
• Make use of the mildest cleaning products that are available as much as possible in your carpet. Just use harsher types in stubborn stains and certain spillages. Mild carpet shampoos are still always the best solution. If you use any cleaning product, the trick is always "read the label as well as follow the manufacturer's instructions" if not sure check the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet).
• It is highly recommended for you to have entrance mat in your home. Proper usage of front door mat will help clean off people's shoes and will keep almost all of the tracked in soils out of the carpet surfaces.
And if these suggestions really do not work or you're not sure how you can do them, call PENINSULA CARPET CARE, San Diego, CA. This effective carpet cleaning company is one of the best in town and will surely help you clean your carpet.


Kafarakis described specialty foods as products featuring high-quality, authentic ingredients and produced using artisan or small-batch methods.
"The notion of processing product at high-speed is no longer acceptable, so understanding the process, how it was created and makers telling the story and retailers retelling the story is a big part of that," Kafarakis said at the Winter Fancy Food Show.
Mohammad Modarres, founder and CEO of New York-based Abe's Meats, produced the first-of-its-kind "interfaith meat" in response to a wave of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents following the 2016 presidential election in the United States. He hosted a dinner uniting the Jewish and Muslim communities to tackle the rise in bigotry and learned quickly that serving halal and kosher foods in the same space was a "logistical nightmare and really expensive," Modarres said.
Abe's Meats offers grass-fed, pasture-raised premium beef that is Glatt Kosher and Zabihah Halal. Such products allow food providers to serve multiple communities with the same inventory, saving time and money and reducing food waste, Modarres said.
Interfaith meat is just the beginning. Modarres said he plans to produce more premium foods in the future that promote inclusivity.
Seafood is the top internationally traded food commodity, and yet the industry is fraught with fraud, waste and other challenges, said Nicolas Mendoza, the Santa Fe-based founder and CEO of OneForNeptune. A marine scientist, Mendoza launched his business to address inefficiencies in the seafood supply chain.
The wild-caught white fish are traceable to small-scale fisheries on the West coast.
Tofu is not a new idea, but it remains a big idea, said Minh Tsai, founder and CEO of Hodo Soy, Oakland, California.
"All of the ingredients you know, minimally processed, very artisan, the same way tofu has been made for thousands of years, and we try hard to reduce salt, sugar, any ingredients that people are looking to reduce," Tsai said.

Partisan Gerrymandering
Since the nation's founding, politicians have intentionally manipulated the boundaries of election districts to stifle their political opponents' power and keep themselves in office. And for just as long, these manipulations have met with criticism for being anti-democratic and unconstitutional.
The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the harms of partisan gerrymandering, but has long struggled to outlaw it. Without strong laws against gerrymandering, the problem has gotten worse. This decade, politicians equipped with reams of voter data, fast computers, and precision redistricting tools have created a new breed of extreme partisan gerrymanders that have locked in majorities—or even supermajorities—for one party, regardless of how voters actually vote. These new, extreme maps have given rise to legislatures that do not represent the diverse interests of voters and do not respond to changing opinion.
Fortunately, the tide is shifting. After more than a decade of silence on partisan gerrymandering, the Supreme Court has emerged to provide potential roadmaps to voters looking for fairer maps. In the coming months, voters challenging maps across the country will attempt to follow those roadmaps to a strong, clear ruling from the Court that will finally put some much-needed limits on partisan redistricting abuses.

Earlier Partisan Gerrymandering Cases
Since 1986, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized partisan gerrymandering as an issue within the courts' purview to decide. But in the three decades since, the Justices have been unable to agree on a manageable standard for evaluating those claims. Summaries and documents from the major Supreme Court decisions that led to this point are available here.

Q: Redirect existing API requests to the new API format using Nginx rules Q1: I have an existing API that uses the format https://sub1.domain.com/whatever?test=yes on sub1 subdomain, but now I want to switch over to the sub2 subdomain and a format like https://sub2.domain.com/v2/page/embed?new=1
The old requests should still work but be "forwarded" or "redirected" to the new request format and different subdomain. Ideally, this would happen seamlessly (transparently behind-the-scenes) and not require cURL to follow redirects, unless it is unavoidable.
Q2: Alternatively, I could compromise on replying to API requests for https://sub1.domain.com/whatever?test=yes using the same format but "forward" or "redirect" to the new subdomain like https://sub2.domain.com/whatever?test=yes
The point being that 25,000+ users with legacy format would not have to update their code to end up being served from the new server on sub2, and preferably using the new format (eliminating the need to maintain two sets of API parameters).
Appreciate your support on this. Thanks!
UPDATE:
I could find the answers myself. This will help someone in future.
For Q1:
location / {

   if ($arg_test ~* yes) {

       return 301 https://sub2.domain.com/v2/page/embed?new=1;

   }

}

For Q2:
location / {

   if ($arg_test ~* yes) {

       rewrite ^(.*)$ https://sub2.domain.com$1;

   }

}

A: You can use:
server {
# Permanent redirect to an individual page
rewrite ^/oldpage$ newpage permanent;
}

A: I could find the answers myself. This will help someone in future.

Digital Marketing & Ad Tech News
As IAB Bars One Ad Blocker From Its Summit, It Welcomes Another One on Stage
Adblock Plus Finds Registration Cancelled, Ghostery to Speak
By George P. Slefo. Published on January 19, 2016.
While ad blocking pioneer Adblock Plus has been disinvited from the Interactive Advertising Bureau's annual leadership summit in California, a different ad blocking software provider is still attending and speaking on stage.
Adblock Plus said on its blog last week that it attended IAB's leadership summit last year and had registered to return, but was disinvited from this year's event. The software company suggested that the unexpected cancellation of its registration owed to the threat ad blocking poses to the industry.
"The over 400,000,000 downloads of AdBlock Plus are not going to go away," the blog post read. "Disallowing Adblock Plus from attending your event solves nothing. We will proceed to work with others to build a sustainable monetization model for the Internet."
Still on schedule to attend the IAB's leadership summit meeting, however, is Scott Meyer, CEO and co-founder of Ghostery, a popular anti-tracking extension. Mr. Meyer will be on stage with Scott Cunningham, senior VP of technology and ad operations at the IAB. The event's description reads, "Ad blocking is not a crisis -- it's a clarion call from consumers, who are reminding publishers, agencies, marketers and technologies that the user comes first, last, and always."
Ghostery is a popular web extension that blocks advertisements as well as a user's browsing history, making targeted ads that much more difficult to deploy.
Adblock Plus spokesman Ben Williams told Ad Age that "Ghostery is in the same realm" of Adblock Plus and that it "offers a similar services as we do."
"I can't presume as to why they are still attending and why we aren't," Mr. Williams said. "I've said my peace in the blog post. I wish them the best and I also wish that I could still be present."
The IAB on Tuesday declined to say why Adblock Plus was unwelcome while Ghostery would appear onstage. After Adblock Plus complained about the cancellation of its registration last week, the IAB issued a statement that said, "The IAB Annual Leadership Meeting is for serious conversation among important digital-industry stakeholders."
Ghostery does not generate revenue from its ad-blocking activities. It makes money by selling data on users who opt in to provide anonymous information on the websites they visit. Companies use the data to audit their websites.
Adblock Plus's Acceptable Ads initiative is designed to whitelist publishers whose ads are not intrusive or annoying. One of the ways the company generates revenue is by asking large publishers on its whitelist to help fund the program, which IAB President-CEO Randall Rothenberg has called a shake-down.
"The idea that we would just accept a big bag with a dollar symbol for ads to be whitelisted is just ridiculous," Mr. Williams said. "About 10% on the list pay us money. This allows us to be viable and to be completely free for the 90% of the people who don't pay to be on our whitelist. Our criteria must be abided by to be on that list."

Matt Basso - Process Oriented
For the first interview on the podcast, I did a live stream with Matt Basso on 3/19/19.
Matt Basso is a personal trainer and Wim Hoff Method instructor. In this interview Matt explains who Wim Hoff is, what his method can do for you, why it can be described as a "controlled high", and how he got into doing it.
We discussed his first podcast, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Will Farrell, and how he named his company. We also spoke about the value of obstacles and mistakes, the difference between the hero of the story and a NPC, and the importance of being okay with the unexpected and loving the challenge.
Matt is a man of many talents and varied tastes. In high school he was on the football and chess teams, but went to a music college, and toured the country with a band.
Him and I took a moment to reflect on the fact that while he was raised in an environment that engendered his naturally competitive nature, and I was raised in an environment that discouraged it at every turn, we both had to still go through the trials necessary to develop our abilities. This highlights the truth that it's not circumstances that dictate our lives, but our own choices.
Matt says that his experiences have made him "process oriented". He has learned that flexibility is more important than goals, and he does his best to teach that lesson to his clients.
The video of the interview can be found here:

APJ - Artists for Peace and Justice is a non profit organization founded by Paul Haggis and friends in 2009 that encourages peace and social justice. APJ's immediate goal is to serve the poorest communities in Haiti with programs in education, healthcare and dignity through the arts. APJ supports the Academy for Peace and Justice, the nation's first private secondary school for the very poor - a program of the St. Luke Foundation - and Artists Institute, a college for art and technology, which creates modern jobs and drives growth of local creative industries.
I was asked to create event graphics with the theme 'LOVE & PEACE' with flower as design element which is a metaphor for the Hope and Inspiration for Haiti's future which client was hoping to achieve at the gala event. The bold flower collage and clean typography made the theme bright and full of promise, while the colors and Gerbera flower motifs were appropriate for the Fall Season in Toronto. Entire design language very well blended with the venue Casa Loma and it's beautiful garden.

Discussion in 'Adapted Lenses' started by Offriver, Oct 14, 2011.
Does anyone have this combo that would be able to tell me if this lens focusses any faster on the E-P3 than it did on previous bodies (e-pl2, e-p1, etc)?
I read that the 12-60mm focusses faster on the E-P3 and was wondering about the 50-200mm mk1 (non SWD). I use the 14-54mm mk2 with my e-pl2 and find that the focus speed is very acceptable for my use. However the 50-200mm is much slower to focus since it's pdaf. However I might consider upgrading to the E-P3 if it would focus the 50-200mm a bit faster.
Oops, should have posted this in the "adapted" lenses section, right? Not sure how to change it.
I only have the 50-200mm SWD. Yes, that lens is faster on my E-P3 than on my E-PL1. No, it still isn't as fast (in terms of AF) as a native telephoto m4/3 zoom like the 40-150mm.

Julian Fellowes bringing 'Historical Houses' to ITV
'Downtown Abbey' is a smash hit in the UK and has garnered a surprising fan-following on this side of the pond, as well. Presently wrapping up its third season on ITV, series creator and thirty-year television veteran Julian Fellowes is going to capitalize on that success by bringing a camera crew to some of England's other famous, mammoth estates.
'Julian Fellowes' Historical Houses' is being produced by NBCUniversal International Television imprint Chocolate Media. The two-part factual series will feature in-depth looks at famous English mansions, to air on ITV (home of 'Downtown Abbey').
'Abbey' itself is partially filmed at Highclere Castle, a famed abode with a great deal of history; when you film in a country with as much history and aristocracy as England, there is no need for exterior set-building. Fellowes, who is officially a Lord in the UK, intends to dig into the rich history of some of these homes, with a particular focus on manses that have remained in the same family for centuries.
When asked about the series, Fellowes remarked that where the homes have remained in the hands of the original families, "the archives are rich in their stories and I have been on the trail of just a few of these."
'Downtown Abbey' airs on ITV in the UK and PBS here in the USA; it stands to reason that 'Julian Fellowes' Historical Houses' will arrive here on PBS as well. As 'Abbey' is co-produced by both British and American production houses, the dual audiences would both likely tune in for a factual, in-depth look at this unique part of British history.

Sears Plans Headquarters Layoffs
Report says company also contemplating cutting salaries and benefits.
Stephen TaubApril 4, 2005
Sears Holding Corp., the company that resulted from the union of Sears, Roebuck and Kmart Holding, is planning "mass layoffs," according to the Associated Press.
Actually, the layoffs, while painful, won't be all that sizeable. "Mass layoffs" is an official term in Illinois, which defines a mass layoff as at least 250 full-time employees or at least 25 workers if they make up at least one-third of the employer's work force. Under a 2004 state law, employers with at least 75 full-time workers must give 60 days notice to workers and the state of mass layoffs or a plant closing.
Thus, the third largest retailer in the U.S. had little choice but to file a report with the state's Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity saying that it is planning a "mass layoff" of 250 workers at its headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Ill., outside of Chicago, according to the AP.
The retailer, however, has 5,000 people working at the headquarters, the AP noted. Most of them figure to keep their jobs.
The wire service said Sears spokesman Chris Brathwaite wouldn't comment on the filing and said the company hasn't even decided how many people to cut loose.
Braithwaite, though, did confirm a report in the Detroit Free Press that Sears is mulling pay and benefit cuts to its work force, according to the wire service. Most of the benefits changes will take place as early as 2006, the AP added.

How Hillary (and Bill) Clinton Lost Me
by Erich Origen
For years, my opinion of Hillary Clinton was neutral. I didn't understand why people on the right despised her and Bill Clinton. I still don't. I simply felt disappointment and, eventually, disconnection.
When Bill Clinton was elected president, I was 20 years old. I went to college by day, and worked two jobs, including a midnight to 8 AM graveyard shift at a supermarket.
I remember one night talking to the produce guy about the election. As he cleaned and stacked oranges he said, "Yeah, it's gonna take him eight years to turn the country around."
I knew what he was talking about. When I was growing up, my mom worked as a union charter bus driver, and in those years, Ronald Reagan (former union leader and New Deal Democrat) crushed the unions. This had a devastating impact on our lives.
We knew a lot of other people whose lives, like their wages, had stagnated. Heck, Bruce Springsteen was singing about it all the time—his song "Born in the USA" was a lamentation.
On my college campus, I remember listening to a woman who lived through the 60s tell me that Clinton's election gave her hope for the first time since JFK, RFK, and MLK had been assassinated.
Like a lot of other people, I thought Bill Clinton's election was going to bring back FDR-style shared prosperity for everyone.
After all, Clinton seemed to get it. He decried trickle-down economics. He said the way to improve an economy was from the middle class out. He seemed to legitimately "feel your pain." As a master storyteller, Bill Clinton was (and still is) like a Hollywood movie: exceptionally good at telling you the truths you already know.
It's now abundantly clear—both in the historical data and in the sentiments of people whose wages have continued to stagnate for decades—that despite some important gains, the Clinton administration was, both unwittingly and otherwise, part of a larger movement that the rest of the world called neoliberalism (a term that hasn't come up much in your average American conversations about politics until recently).
How so? Like Barack Obama's, Bill Clinton's financial team (Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, and Larry Summers) was simply carried over from the preceding Republican administration—and continued with business as usual, further decoupling the economy from the middle class. In Clinton's case, the dotcom bubble mitigated some aspects of the economic fallout for some people (and even enriched some) and worsened it for others.
The ultimate coup of these financial geniuses was the obliteration of the law known as Glass-Steagall, which separated consumer banking and speculative banking, allowing banks to take the hard-earned deposits of regular people and gamble with them. While this deregulation wasn't the only cause of the 2008 crash, it was an essential factor.
To his credit, Bill Clinton has since called the removal of Glass-Steagall a mistake that he regrets. That's one reason why it's strange that Hillary won't back renewing the law—especially since the crash still casts a long shadow over the economic lives of the vast majority of Americans.
From "sometimes disagree" to "strongly disagree"
But before I say anything further about Hillary Clinton, let me be clear about something. If there's a parallel universe in which women have run America without one male president, I'm certain that America is a much better place. And I think Julia Ward Howe's proposal that the UN security council be women-only is a great idea.
My opinion of Hillary Clinton began to turn negative after her about-face with Elizabeth Warren on Wall Street reform and regulation. As Hillary built her résumé for the presidency, this same pattern of behavior was repeated on multiple issues—she was seemingly driven more by political trade winds and the flow of campaign cash rather than the principles she nominally stood for.
Hillary Clinton sees herself (and wants us to see her) as a centrist. She sees centrism as inherently virtuous—and it might be, if only our left-right political spectrum was a fixed constant, but "that ain't the world we're living in."
On the contrary, our democracy has been so radically distorted from what it once was, that our center today is actually on the right side of the spectrum. Under these circumstances, centrism isn't inherently virtuous at all. It's simply Neoliberal Lite.
Strangely, Hillary Clinton doesn't seem to get this. In a recent debate, Bernie Sanders referred to her as the "establishment candidate" and she replied that she found that idea "amusing." That reaction underscored the size of her blindspot in this area.
Hillary's 2016 campaign is trying to pitch her as the candidate living in "reality" and Bernie as the real "radical."
This is similar to how she framed Barack Obama in 2008. As we now know, Obama was hardly a left-wing radical.
In reality, Bernie Sanders is about as radical as Franklin Delano Roosevelt—a democratic socialist who was the most popular president of all time. Like FDR, Sanders is calling for a kind of new New Deal that recouples the economy to the middle class.
I was at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, and I remember a moment when they brought a man onstage named Stanley Morgan, and he said it was going to be great to have an administration that cared more about Stanley Morgan than it did about Morgan Stanley. It was a good applause line.
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama used progressive language in their campaigns, and I believe they were both sincere. But both also seemed to believe it was possible to serve two masters (in essence, Stanley Morgan and Morgan Stanley). Hillary Clinton believes the same thing, despite all the evidence that this approach has primarily helped one of those masters at the expense of the other.
As Robert Reich recently put it, Hillary Clinton is a perfect president for our current system—the problem is that system no longer works for the American people. Bernie Sanders could—with our help—transform the system into the democracy we deserve.

Sidney Lanfield | 77 mins | DVD | PG
Arguably the definitive screen interpretation of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, played by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, appear for the very first time here, in what would become the first in a series of 14 pictures starring the pair. (Incidentally, this will be the first in an irregular set of reviews of that series. I have the rather lovely Optimum box set, you see, and so shall slowly work my way through it. Though as I've already owned it for several years and only just started watching it (as with so many DVDs), I have no idea how long it will be before I finish.)
I'll start by laying my cards on the table: The Hound of the Baskervilles is a vastly overrated Holmes tale, and one that has been unduly adapted at least 15 other times (that from a quick search of IMDb). As far as I can tell its popularity is primarily due to the circumstances around its original publication (it was the first Holmes story in nearly a decade, following his death in The Final Problem). Holmes is absent for much of the story, which plods along fairly uneventfully (or, at least, inconsequentially) until a slightly dubious climax involving a centuries-old portrait. Naturally, all of these flaws carry over into any faithful adaptation, and this certainly is one.
One of the novel's strong points is its occasional Gothic styling, and this is something the film version does very well. Dartmoor looks fantastic, like something Tim Burton would have created were he working in the '30s. It's clearly a set, but it's dramatic and moody and completely effective. After the dull and poorly-designed interior scenes in London, it's fantastic when the film finally moves down into Devon and things… well, don't exactly get going, but at least there's something to look at! As with the novel the plot meanders by, diverted by an escaped convict and an entirely pointless (in this version at least) seance, until that painting-based resolution. All is not lost, however, as a particularly vicious-seeming attack by the hound livens things up considerably.
Rathbone is underused as Holmes, which is a shame as he immediately makes the part his own. Bruce isn't as bungling and comedic as he would later become, though the signs are already beginning to show. And the infamous final line — "Oh Watson, the needle!" — is actually a huge anticlimax if you haven't seen it before, an entirely pointless, meaningless and misplaced addition.
I feel like I've come down a little harshly on Hound of the Baskervilles, mainly thanks to a general unfavourable opinion of the source material. There are many better Holmes stories, often ignored thanks to the fame of this particular one. The following 13 films may be even less faithful adaptations than this, but I'm looking forward to their fun and frivolity, which will hopefully top Baskervilles. The moor really is fantastic though.

Q: setState function not defined I am new to ReactJS and am trying to modify values of a form which is populated by the response of an API call. I want to be able to modify the principals received in every row and get their sum in another field. The onChange handler function is :
handleAmortScheduleChange(field , key ,e  ){
            const value = e.target.value;

            this.setState({
            [get_schedule[key][field]] : value,
            [get_emi_amount]:get_schedule[key]["principal"] + get_schedule[key]["interest"],
            [get_schedule[key]["closing_balance"]] : get_schedule[key]["starting_balance"] - get_emi_amount

           });
            var arr = document.getElementsByName('get_schedule_principal_here');
            var tot=0;
            for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){

                if(parseInt(arr[i].value))
                    tot += parseInt(arr[i].value);
            }
            document.getElementById('get_total_principal').value = tot;

        }

The JSX Code is:
{this.state.get_schedule.map((row,key) =>

        <input ref = "get_schedule_emi_date" type="date" required="required" id="get_schedule_emi_date"  value={row.date} />
        EMI Date

        <input ref = "get_schedule_emi_amount" type="number" required="required" id="get_schedule_emi_amount"  value={row.amount}/>
        EMI Amount

        <input ref = "get_schedule_principal" type="number" required="required" id="get_schedule_principal" name="get_schedule_principal_here" value={row.principal} onChange={this.handleAmortScheduleChange.bind(this, "principal",key)}/>
        Principal

        <input ref = "get_schedule_interest" type="number" required="required" id="get_schedule_interest"   value={row.interest} onChange={this.handleAmortScheduleChange.bind(this, "principal",key)} />
        Interest

        <input ref = "get_schedule_starting_balance" type="number" required="required" id="get_schedule_starting_balance"  value={row.starting_balance }/>
        Starting Balance

        <input ref = "get_schedule_closing_balance" type="number" required="required" id="get_schedule_closing_balance"  value={row.closing_balance}/>
        Closing Balance

)}

        <input  type="number" required="required" id="get_total_principal" />
        Total Principal

        <input  type="number" required="required" id="get_total_interest" />
        Total Interest

get_schedule is an array of arrays in the response of the API containing values for all the fields in the form. I am essentially trying to change the values for the principal and interest as entered by the user and set their respective values in the get_schedule array.
The error that I am getting in the handleAmortScheduleChange function   is
Uncaught ReferenceError: get_schedule is not defined. I am unable to set the state for interest or principal either. Where am I going wrong and what would be the solution to this?
EDIT 1: As requested, the definition of get_schedule and some other parameters in the component class.
class LoanDetails extends Component {

    constructor(props) {
        this.state={
            get_schedule            : [],
            get_interest            : 0,
            get_principal           : 0,
            get_starting_balance    : 0,
            get_closing_balance     : 0,
            get_emi_date            : 0,
            get_emi_amount          : 0,
     }
}

The value set to get_schedule from the API response is :
get_schedule: [{discount: 0, amount: 501, starting_balance: 1000, interest: 1, date: "2019-01-06",…},…]
0: {discount: 0, amount: 501, starting_balance: 1000, interest: 1, date: "2019-01-06",…}
amount: 501
closing_balance: 500
date: "2019-01-06"
discount: 0
interest: 1
principal: 500
starting_balance: 1000
1: {discount: 0, amount: 501, starting_balance: 500, interest: 1, date: "2019-02-06", closing_balance: 0,…}
amount: 501
closing_balance: 0
date: "2019-02-06"
discount: 0
interest: 1
principal: 500
starting_balance: 500

A: If the error is setState is not defined, You lose the this context. could you be able to try arrow functions for your handleAmortScheduleChange function ?
    handleAmortScheduleChange = (field , key ,e  ) => {
        const value = e.target.value;

        this.setState({
        [get_schedule[key][field]] : value,
        [get_emi_amount]:get_schedule[key]["principal"] + get_schedule[key]["interest"],
        [get_schedule[key]["closing_balance"]] : get_schedule[key]["starting_balance"] - get_emi_amount

       });
        var arr = document.getElementsByName('get_schedule_principal_here');
        console.log(arr.length);
        console.log(arr);
        var tot=0;
        for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){

            if(parseInt(arr[i].value))
                tot += parseInt(arr[i].value);
                console.log(tot);
        }
        document.getElementById('get_total_principal').value = tot;

    }

If the error is get_schedule is not defined is maybe because you perform async operation and by the time that it gets to render function it's undefined I highly suggest to check the flow of your code. If you put more code I can give you more clue but meanwhile try below syntax.
// double check if get_schedule is ready to use
{this.state.get_schedule && this.state.get_schedule.map((row,key) =>

    {
       /*  now map the row and key to inputs */
    }

}

For resolving get_schedule error in get_schedule would you be able to change your function to arrow function and use this.get_schedule
handleAmortScheduleChange = (field , key ,e  ) => {
    const value = e.target.value;

    this.setState({
    [this.get_schedule[key][field]] : value,
    [get_emi_amount]:this.get_schedule[key]["principal"] + this.get_schedule[key]["interest"],
    [this.get_schedule[key]["closing_balance"]] : this.get_schedule[key]["starting_balance"] - get_emi_amount

   });
    var arr = document.getElementsByName('get_schedule_principal_here');
    console.log(arr.length);
    console.log(arr);
    var tot=0;
    for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){

        if(parseInt(arr[i].value))
            tot += parseInt(arr[i].value);
            console.log(tot);
    }
    document.getElementById('get_total_principal').value = tot;

}

I fixed your Sandbox version of your code and you can find it here.
Things that I fixed are these ones:

*

*For labels in react use htmlFor instead of plain for

*some of your input did not have onChangeHandler I just left some onchange handler to resolve the error but make sure you fill the handler of the following input in the way you like them. (EMI_Date, EMI_Amount, CLOSING and START Balance onchange for inputs) ...

*the main error I used different approach of setting state.

Usually if the update you want to do on state is dependent on the current state we use the below syntax as it is safer :)
 this.setState(prevState => ({
      value: prevState.value + 1
    }));

https://codesandbox.io/s/o4k6nmr4l5
Let me know what you think? there is no error but I don't know anything about calculations of that form :)

A: you must bind it in constructor :
this.handleAmortScheduleChange = this.handleAmortScheduleChange.bind(this);

A: Assumming you already have defined get_schedule function, the problem that i see is that your are not calling it using the word this.
You should do something like
this.get_schedule

A: I finally made some changes and got my code to work.
  class Loan extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {

      field: "",
      get_schedule: [
        {
          amount: 2000,
          principal: 0,
          discount: 0,
          date: "2019-01-06",
          interest: 0,
          starting_balance: 1000,
          closing_balance: 0
        },
        {
          amount: 3000,
          principal: 0,
          discount: 0,
          date: "2019-02-06",
          interest: 0,
          starting_balance: 1500,
          closing_balance: 0
        }
      ]
    };
  }
  handleAmortScheduleChange = (key, field) => e => {
    const value = e.target.value;
    const { get_schedule, get_emi_amount } = this.state;
    const old_schedule = get_schedule[key];
    const new_get_schedule = [...get_schedule];
    new_get_schedule[key] = {
      ...old_schedule,
      [field]: value,
      closing_balance: old_schedule.starting_balance - get_emi_amount
    };
    this.setState({
      get_schedule: new_get_schedule,
      get_emi_amount: old_schedule.principal + old_schedule.interest
      // [get_schedule[key][field]]: value,
      // [get_emi_amount]: get_schedule[key]["principal"] + get_schedule[key]["interest"],
      // [get_schedule[key]["closing_balance"]]: get_schedule[key]["starting_balance"] - get_emi_amount,

I can appreciate that on the surface, if you were to merely look at the high level specifications of the hardware in the stack, that it might appear comparable to another provider – but that's where the comparison ends.
At a hardware level, we use latest generation enterprise server components, high clock speed Intel Xeon CPUs, server-grade memory and enterprise grade Intel DC SSDs. Combined with infrastructure that provides fully redundant network and redundant power down to your server, featuring two power supplies and two network cards for diversity.
At a software level, this is where we excel – because we wrote an entire operating system for Magento, this is called MageStack. MageStack isn't just a control panel like Plesk/Interworx/cPanel – it is an entire operating system, built by Sonassi, wholly and specifically for Magento. Its also fully documented - and best of all, based on Debian Linux - so you'll still have root access, to what appears as a normal Linux server, to do as you please with. You can install any utilities you want, or make it fit your deployment pipeline - because MageStack isn't a limited SaaS platform - its an extremely powerful Linux operating system built specifically to make your life easier running a Magento store. You have total control.
At a support level, we flat out beat every standard hosting provider. Because for 6 years, we built large-scale Magento stores – we gathered experience building and scaling stores, understanding their bottlenecks and feeding that into how we developed MageStack. We understand every facet of Magento at a code level and can provide true end-to-end support, from the infrastructure we built, to the operating system we designed and wrote, to the store itself. Everything Sonassi offers is built, not bought.
Sure, we're more expensive than standard hosting providers; because we're not a standard hosting provider. We're the "Ferrari" of Magento hosting – and sure, you can buy a "Volkswagen" from other providers for a fraction of the price – but you'll be getting a fraction of the quality, of the support and of the platform.
Most customers moving from standard hosting providers to Sonassi only need to evaluate what the additional investment in a quality, specialised hosting provider would actually cost; perhaps just 1 additional sale per day, maybe even just 1 additional sale per month? Perhaps it isn't even increased sales volume, but decreased expense elsewhere, because your developers can now clone a Magento store in an instant instead of charging you an hour's labour, or deploy Varnish on Magento instantly, or use SOLR with Magento, or use Sphinx with Magento. Perhaps even just you contacting our expert team for guidance to avoid unnecessary expense when trying to solve a problem.
There's much more to have when investing in your store with a specialised hosting provider – and the cost in all reality, shouldn't be a factor when making this decision, its what the return on the investment will give you. Invest in Sonassi, and we'll give you plenty in return.


Don't leave your shopping to the last minute. The more time you have to shop around, the more you can negotiate. It's difficult to find bargains under pressure, so leave plenty of time to work with wedding vendors. Never hire the first vendor you meet. You should always make your decision based on several vendors.
Avoid a Saturday wedding. Saturday is the busiest wedding day of the week, and the most expensive. If you can try to have a Sunday or Friday wedding.
When you pay your bills to use a credit card with a reward program. You have 30-days to pay the bill, in addition, you might earn enough miles to cover your flight to your honeymoon destination. Avoid the busy summer wedding season. You might be able to get better deals during the fall and winter months. You might be able to wear your mother's or your grand mother's wedding dress. In addition to saving a bundle, but you also might make your mother very happy. Buy a sample wedding dress or rent your wedding gown. Hire businesses you know to get a great deal. If you have a friend who is a musician, a photographer, a caterer, try to work out a deal with them. If you want to save a lot of money, hire a non-wedding photographer. Almost any good photographer should be able to do a good job photographing your wedding.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. You might be able to get better deals during the fall and winter months.
Buy your wedding accessories from non-wedding professionals. Many of your wedding accessories might be available at non-wedding vendors. Shop online. You can more effectively comparison shop online than trying to visit your local bridal shops.
Work with a wedding reception venue that allows you to provide your own alcoholic beverages. In addition to the obvious savings, you can return the unopened bottles to the store.
Work with an airline to get a group discount on the plane tickets for your wedding guests. Your wedding guests will appreciate the savings, and you might save on your plane ticket to your honeymoon destination.


Ahh, how fun was this book!!! I had that 'this is going to be a good book feeling' right from the first chapter which caught me off guard with it's charming and whimsical vibe. But it wasn't just amusing or funny, it was creative and magical and felt wholly original. I was absolutely enchanted the whole way through, and the twists and surprises delighted me and kept me up in the night.
As for the characters? Some loyal, some mysterious, others have you guessing: who can you trust? What is their real agenda? So many of them were unique and fun to meet and a small contingent have already burrowed their way into my heart as new fave fictional characters <3.
I loved all the little sneaky fun aspects of Nevermoor. From the food they ate, to the houses, transport, the history and the lands, the annual celebrations, the way they do Christmas, the mythical creatures, all the little magical touches were just so fun to discover and explore.
The trials (I love a book with trials)! So fun, thrilling and unexpected. I loved the final trial the most, where the creativity and talent of the contestants was amazing. Jessica Townsend seems to have an unlimited pool of imagination on which to draw from ~ oh my gosh I loved it so!
It was also delightfully creepy ~ enough to give some small thrills and scares with certain scenes. There was an escalating sense of danger where I wanted to scream into the book and tell Morrigan to take care! Look out!
This is the kind of book that is both an immense pleasure to read and also the rare kind of book that can cause the readers imagination to take flight and daydream. Not only do you visit an incredible world, but afterwards, there's the possibility of the reader themselves opening up their imagination to creating their own wondrous world, where anything could take place.
The Trials of Morrigan Crow was a fave read of the year for me and I am certain it will be a new favourite book for so many (I've passed it straight on to my 13 year old daughter). I absolutely recommend this for readers of all ages (it is a middle grade book but with the transcendent charm of Harry Potter/Narnia for older readers as well). If you have nieces and nephews/children to buy books for for Christmas this is sure to be a hit :) I can't wait for Nevermore #2 ~ there is a delightful promise of so much more to come.
The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermore #1) is available everywhere now!


A few weeks ago, CARB released a comparison of CARB and TSCA rules. It is expected that some differences will disappear in future amendments to CARB or as the EPA puts out more guidance, but for now, you have to be ready to comply with both. For example, remember the label requirements for de minimis plywood tips in lumber core discussed in an earlier blog? That's one of many small things you have to understand and prepare for.
Can you trace your production? If you are a manufacturer, do you know the source of the plywood in your engineered flooring or the MDF in your laminate? Do you mix and blend? For retailers, do your suppliers properly track their material so things can be traced backwards along the chain. Whoever you are in the chain, make sure your record keeping program is well established.
This is something we discussed at the FER panel at the convention. In simple terms, under CARB, a mill could undertake 6 months of intensive testing and with that data, along with other information, apply to CARB for ULEF or NAF status. If granted, this was an exemption from the regular TPC oversight that comes with P2 certification. They had to renew this every two years. Their labels did NOT have a TPC number because once approved, they were outside TPC oversight.
Under TSCA, the panel producers do not apply to the EPA. They can continue to work with CARB or apply to their TPC receive this designation and the reduced oversight exemption. Unlike CARB, however, they have to include their TPC number on their labels. So the amount of direct TPC oversight that continues past the initial six months of intensive testing will be up to them and their TPC. It is expected that although the EPA does not require TPC testing during that two year exemption period, many TPCs will require at least an annual testing since they have assumed responsibility for the mill's NAF/ULEF status.
For the time being, if something is recognized as CARB NAF/ULEF it is good by TSCA as well. But that will change as mills renew their status so make sure that in the years ahead, if you are buying panels that are sold as NAF/ULEF, that you look for the TPC number. One of the many small differences between CARB and TSCA that you'll want to know.
