Q: how to get the value in the tag using the attribute name and tag name in java DOM parser this is the xml
<a>
  <b name="dataSource">
    <property name="driverClass">oracle</property>
    <property name="jdbcUrl">jdb:</property>
  </b>
</a>

how to get the value in the tag using the attribute name
for example :oracle
<property name="driverClass">oracle</property>

using tagname property  and attribute value driverClass
i want to get oracle

A: You can use a XPath query, something like /a/b/property[@name='driverClass']/text() which will return the text value of the property node, which has an attribute name equal to driverClass and which is a of child b, which is a child of a
For example...
try {
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    Document doc = dbf.newDocumentBuilder().parse(JavaApplication244.class.getResourceAsStream("/Test.xml"));

    XPathFactory xf = XPathFactory.newInstance();
    XPath xPath = xf.newXPath();
    XPathExpression expression = xPath.compile("/a/b/property[@name='driverClass']/text()");
    String value = expression.evaluate(doc);
    System.out.println(value);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException | SAXException | IOException | XPathExpressionException exp) {
    exp.printStackTrace();
}

Which outputs oracle
Have a look at w3schools, xPath and How XPath Works for some more details

A: Try this:
XML input:
< nodename attribute="value" > Something </ nodename>

Java code:
NodesList subs = child.item(j).getChildNodes();

System.out.println(subs.item(0).getTextContent()); // >> Something

• As a treatment for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
Kyprolis (carfilzomib) is considered experimental, investigational and/or unproven for all other indications.
Kyprolis™ (carfilzomib) targets and inhibits the proteasome enzyme complex within the cell. The proteasome (a multi-catalytic protease present in all eukaryotic cells), is part of the cellular machinery and has many functions. The proteasome plays an important role in the regulation of cell cycle, neoplastic growth, and metastasis. In the laboratory, it has been shown that cancer cells are more susceptible to the effects of proteasome inhibitors, than normal cells are. Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) specifically induce apoptosis (cell suicide) in cancer cells.
Carfilzomib was first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for multiple myeloma (MM) in 2012, as a single agent in patients who had received at least two prior therapies including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent. Carfilzomib was also FDA approved in July 2015 for use in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd) for the treatment of patients with relapsed MM who have received one to three prior lines of therapy. In 2016 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) of carfilzomib in combination with dexamethasone or with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received one to three lines of therapy. The FDA also approved Kyprolis as a single agent for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received one or more lines of therapy. This FDA decision converted to full approval the initial accelerated approval Kyprolis received in July 2012 as a single agent.
Carfilzomib is administered intravenously over 2 to 10 minutes, on two consecutive days weekly for three weeks (i.e., days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16), followed by a 12-day rest period (i.e., days 17 to 28). The recommended cycle one dose is 20 mg/m2/day, and, if tolerated, the recommended dose for the second and succeeding cycles is 27 mg/m2/day.
The policy originated in 2016 and was based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved label. (1) A literature search of scientific literature was conducted through June 2017. The following is a summary of key literature to date.
Dimopoulos et al. (7) conducted a randomized, open-label, multicenter superiority trial of Kyprolis plus dexamethasone (Kd) versus bortezomib plus dexamethasone (Vd) in patients with relapsed or refractory MM who had received 1 to 3 lines of therapy. A total of 929 patients were enrolled and randomized (464 in the Kd arm; 465 in the Vd arm). Randomization was stratified by prior proteasome inhibitor therapy (yes versus no), prior lines of therapy (1 versus 2 or 3), current International Staging System stage (1 versus 2 or 3), and planned route of bortezomib administration. Patients were excluded if they had less than partial response (PR) to all prior regimens; creatinine clearance < 15 mL/min; hepatic transaminases ≥ 3 × upper limits of normal (ULN); or left-ventricular ejection fraction < 40% or other significant cardiac conditions. This trial evaluated Kyprolis at a starting dose of 20 mg/m2, which was increased to 56 mg/m2 on Cycle 1, Day 8 onward. Kyprolis was administered twice weekly as a 30-minute infusion on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle. Dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23 of each cycle. In the Vd arm, bortezomib was dosed at 1.3 mg/m2 intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 21-day cycle, and dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of each cycle. Concurrent use of thromboprophylaxis was optional, and prophylaxis with an antiviral agent and proton pump inhibitor was required. Of the 465 patients in the Vd arm, 381 received bortezomib subcutaneously. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The efficacy of Kyprolis was evaluated by progression free survival (PFS) as determined by an independent review committee (IRC) using International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria. The trial showed a median PFS of 18.7 months in the Kd arm versus 9.4 months in the Vd arm. Other endpoints included overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR). At the time of analysis, OS data were not mature. ORR was 77% for patients in the Kd arm and 63% for patients in the Vd arm. The median duration of response (DOR) in subjects achieving PR or better was 21.3 months (95% CI: 21.3, not estimable) in the Kd arm and 10.4 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 9.3, 13.8) in the Vd arm. The median time to response was 1 month (range < 1 to 8 months) in both arms.
Stewart et al. (8) conducted a randomized, open-label, multicenter superiority trial which evaluated the combination of Kyprolis with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd) versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) alone in patients with relapsed or refractory MM who had received 1 to 3 lines of therapy without an interruption for lack of efficacy, such as for relapse or progressive disease). Patients who had the following were excluded from the trial: refractory to bortezomib in the most recent regimen, refractory to lenalidomide and dexamethasone in the most recent regimen, not responding to any prior regimen, creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min, ALT/AST > 3.5 × ULN and bilirubin > 2 × ULN, New York Heart Association Class III to IV congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within the last 4 months. In the KRd arm, Kyprolis was evaluated at a starting dose of 20 mg/m2, which was increased to 27 mg/m2 on Cycle 1, Day 8 onward. Kyprolis was administered as a 10-minute infusion on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle for Cycle 1 through 12. Kyprolis was dosed on Days 1, 2, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle from Cycle 13 through 18. Dexamethasone 40 mg was administered orally or intravenously on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each cycle. Lenalidomide was given 25 mg orally on Days 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle. The Rd treatment arm had the same regimen for lenalidomide and dexamethasone as the KRd treatment arm. Kyprolis was administered for a maximum of 18 cycles unless discontinued early for disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Lenalidomide and dexamethasone administration could continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Concurrent use of thromboprophylaxis and a proton pump inhibitor were required for both arms, and antiviral prophylaxis was required for the KRd arm.
The 792 patients in the study were randomized 1:1 to the KRd or Rd arm. The demographics and baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the two arms. Only 53% of the patients had testing for genetic mutations; a high-risk genetic mutation was identified for 12% of patients in the KRd arm and in 13% in the Rd arm. Patients in the KRd arm demonstrated improved PFS compared with those in the Rd arm (HR = 0.69, with 2-sided P-value = 0.0001) as determined using standard International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG)/European Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) response criteria by an Independent Review Committee (IRC). The median PFS was 26.3 months in the KRd arm versus 17.6 months in the Rd arm.
The OS results were not significantly different at the interim analysis. The median duration of response (DOR) was 28.6 months (95% CI: 24.9, 31.3) for the 345 patients achieving a response in the KRd arm and 21.2 months (95% CI: 16.7, 25.8) for the 264 patients achieving a response in the Rd arm. The median time to response was 1 month (range 1 to 14 months) in the KRd arm and 1 month (range 1 to 16 months) in the Rd arm.
Siegel et al. (9) conducted a single-arm, multicenter clinical trial of Kyprolis monotherapy by up to 10-minute infusion. Eligible patients were those with relapsed and refractory MM who had received at least two prior therapies (including bortezomib and thalidomide and/or lenalidomide) and had ≤ 25% response to the most recent therapy or had disease progression during or within 60 days of the most recent therapy. Patients were excluded from the trial if they were refractory to all prior therapies or had a total bilirubin ≥ 2 × ULN; creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min; New York Heart Association Class III to IV congestive heart failure; symptomatic cardiac ischemia; myocardial infarction within the last 6 months; peripheral neuropathy Grade 3 or 4, or peripheral neuropathy Grade 2 with pain; active infections requiring treatment; or pleural effusion. Kyprolis was administered intravenously up to 10 minutes on two consecutive days each week for three weeks, followed by a 12-day rest period (28-day treatment cycle), until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum of 12 cycles. Patients received 20 mg/m2 at each dose in Cycle 1, and 27 mg/m2 in subsequent cycles. Dexamethasone 4 mg orally or intravenously was administered prior to Kyprolis doses in the first and second cycles. A total of 266 patients were enrolled. Efficacy was evaluated by ORR as determined by IRC assessment using IMWG criteria. The median number of cycles started was four. The ORR (PR or better) was 23% (95% CI: 18, 28). The median DOR was 7.8 months (95%CI: 5.6, 9.2).
• Used in combination with panobinostat for patients with previously treated MM. (category 2A recommendation).
Carfilzomib, rituximab, and dexamethasone produced an overall response rate of 87.1% and a major response rate (partial response or better) of 67.7% in a single-arm study (N=31) of symptomatic patients with WM who were naive to bortezomib and rituximab, and had received no more than 1 prior therapy. At a median follow-up period of 15.4 months, the median time to progression had not been reached. Median time to best response was more than 12.8 months. Median IgM levels decreased from 3375 mg/dL at baseline to 749 mg/dL at best response; median bone marrow involvement decreased from 60% to 5%; and median hematocrit (HCT) increased from 32.3% to 41.3%. MYD88 (L265P) mutation was detected in 96.6% of the 30 patients with results, and the 1 patient with wild-type MYD88 achieved a very good partial response. Response rate was not significantly different in the 36.7% of patients with CXCR4 (WHIM) compared with CXCR wild-type (90.9% vs 85%). Grade 2 or higher toxicity included peripheral neuropathy (3.2%), dexamethasone-related hyperglycemia (77.4%), carfilzomib-related hyperlipasemia (41.9%), and rituximab-related infusion reactions (19.4%).
In 2014 Treon, et al. (2) noted that carfilzomib, rituximab and dexamethasone (CaRD) offers a neuropathy sparing approach for proteasome inhibitor based therapy for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. In this study carfilzomib, rituximab, and dexamethasone (CaRD) were examined in symptomatic WM patients' naïve to bortezomib and rituximab. Protocol therapy consisted of intravenous carfilzomib, 20 mg/m2 (cycle 1) and 36 mg/m (2) (cycles 2-6), with intravenous dexamethasone, 20 mg, on days 1, 2, 8, and 9, and rituximab, 375 mg/m (2), on days 2 and 9 every 21 days. Maintenance therapy followed 8 weeks later with intravenous carfilzomib, 36 mg/m (2), and intravenous dexamethasone, 20 mg, on days 1 and 2, and rituximab, 375 mg/m(2), on day 2 every 8 weeks for 8 cycles. Overall response rate was 87.1% (1 complete response, 10 very good partial responses, 10 partial responses, and 6 minimal responses) and was not impacted by MYD88 (L265P) or CXCR4 (WHIM) mutation status. With a median follow-up of 15.4 months, 20 patients remain progression free. Grade ≥2 toxicities included asymptomatic hyperlipasemia (41.9%), reversible neutropenia (12.9%), and cardiomyopathy in 1 patient (3.2%) with multiple risk factors, and PN in 1 patient (3.2%) which was grade 2. Declines in serum IgA and IgG were common. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01470196.

After a massively impressive performance on Rally Portugal's nearly 370 kilometers, SKODA Motorsport's Pontus Tidemand secured the WRC 2 victory after the 19th and last special stage was completed. Despite a puncture, he proved himself unbeatable as he fought back to the lead.
It was a determined Pontus that jumped into his SKODA Fabia R5 when Rally Portugal kicked off on Thursday evening. He immediately took the lead on the opening super special and continued to build his advantage during Friday. On the longest stage of the day (27.44 km), he pulled away from Elfyn Evans with 16.1 seconds and then followed another five stage wins. By the end of Friday's programme, Pontus had over half a minute's lead.
With the longest day of the rally in front of them, Pontus and his co-driver Jonas Andersson was off to a bit more careful start on Saturday – still they extended their lead. On the longest stage of the entire event (37.67 km), Evans was forced to retire at the same time as Pontus and Jonas set a stunning time on the same stage and was not just quickest in their class, but also seventh fastest overall. After that, their lead over Peruvian Nicolás Fuchs had increased to more than a minute and a half. It would have been a comfortable time difference if it had not been for a puncture, which cost the Swedish duo their advantage despite a quick and efficient tyre change. Before Saturday's last stage they were in second place, 2.6 seconds behind Fuchs. But after one last push, they took back the lead in a brilliant way and found themselves with a gap of 32 seconds ahead of the final four stages.
On Sunday, Pontus conserved his lead. Fully concentrated on the task, they made it to the finish without any drama – but to watch over an advantage in a situation like this is also somewhat a challenge.
The victory margin eventually measured one minute and 28.8 seconds and in addition to his top performance in the WRC 2, Pontus also mixed in with the WRC cars. He was eighth overall before the puncture. Despite the time loss, he finished ninth in the overall classification and all in all, he took nine stage wins in his category.
With this event, Pontus and Jonas have begun their hunt for the championship title for real and have now two podiums from the two rallies that they have done in the series so far – the first of them was a second place at Rally Sweden.

A three-course reason why Death Row Dinners was doomed from the start
From sticking chefs in bins for Knorr Sauces to 'tweet what you eat' trends, we know the hospitality industry has moments where it thinks outside the box and spreads its creative wings.
But, even when it's pushing the boundaries to connect with consumers, it has to retain a portion of dignity. And that means steering clear of distasteful themed foodie evenings.
Yes Death Row Dinners, I'm looking at you.
The pop-up restaurant in Hoxton has been forced to apologise for, and cancel, its Death Row themed evening. What would've been an intimate night where 'inmates' would be locked, frisked and fed prison food, the concept failed to impress critics before it even opened. And, I'm not surprised.
Here's three courses (aka reasons) why it was never going to work:
Starter: We have nothing in common
Off the back of Secret Cinema's Back to the Future success, Hoxton thought it would bring the buzz back to East London by launching an experiential and interactive evening. But, there was simply no reason for it.
The organisers had no hook (e.g it failed to reference the Shawshank's 20th anniversary and tie it in with a screening which might've helped them to redeem themselves); no credibility (e.g an association with The Clink restaurant in Brixton); and simply no demand.
This instantly weakens a campaign, however well considered, into a series of unbalanced ideas. Which isn't good for business whatever way you look at it.
Main: Crass concepts
More than being the rebel restaurant without a cause, the concept left a bad taste in people's mouths by attempting to recreate meals inspired by real-life requests made by prisoners.
Without getting into a debate about capital punishment, you only have to watch five minutes of Sir Trevor McDonald's Inside Death Row series to remember that those inmates are real people with real feelings. Whatever they've done in the past, no one has the right to trivialise their last moments.
Dessert: Tweeting for all the wrong reasons
The company attempted to defend itself using its relatively fresh Twitter account to respond to the backlash.
With little over 200 followers and just 10 tweets to its name, there wasn't much this sinking ship could do to turn the crisis around. Not without an authoritative voice anyway.
With negative PR printed in The Standard, The Daily Mail and The Telegraph, it's questionable whether the pop-up supper club will ever recover.
For the moment it's taken a vow of social media silence – making it the company's best decision yet.
What do you make of it all? Has the media over sensationalised the event?

Twitter hacks put Obama at risk
What has Burger King, Jeep, HMV and the Associated Press (AP) got in common?
They've all had their Twitter accounts hacked. The most recent case, affecting the AP, took place today and it involved Obama – which could even be seen as a type of digital treason:
BREAKING: Two explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured
Not only did this single tweet affect the US stock market, which dipped shortly after it was posted, but in the long-term it may have dented the credibility of the news agency. It won't just be the AP that'a looking for answers, the nation will be as the US comes to terms with its vulnerability after the Boston bombings .
The rise in Twitter hacking makes me question whether businesses are taking enough precautions with their social media passwords. The average consumer has 7.9 unique passwords and 40% think it'd be easier to solve world peace than remember all their logins. But, that's no excuse for making them so simple. It needs to be unique and known by a select few. The AP says it was duped by a impressive disguised phishing email.
The question for PRs is how prepared are you to pull out a social media crisis management plan at the drop of a hat? Your clients are most likely to be sweating because they don't understand how to control or influence online messages. So, they'll be looking for initial statements, media Q&As, spokesperson briefing documents and a tweet by tweet guide for the next week where possible. So, ensure you have templates and guides to hand to work from.
Don't get me wrong – national coverage today is tomorrow's chip paper, and online issues soon lose momentum. But, you still have to nip them in the bud.
The White House's press office may have had to help clear the AP's mess, but Barack's not worried. He's obviously ignoring the issue, having tweeted since the incident and not giving the hackers a single thought. So, for now, they've kept their heads.

This PR stunt is a little abstract
Do you ever wonder how often the art world crosses over into PR? Let me explain:
An artist from Milton Keynes, Tomas Georgeson, has hidden the majority of his life savings in his local gallery. Why? It's an artistic statement to boost numbers and interest.
Through an advert placed in his local paper, local residents are being encouraged to visit their local hotspot to see if they can find it. Whoever does will be able to bank it. No terms and conditions just a potential 'life- changing' sum.
There's no doubt about it – this is a great story. But is it genuine or do I smell a PR rat? One thing's for sure, if Georgeson ever wanted to jump careers, PR could be for him. But, he'd have to learn a few lessons first to ensure his campaigns don't fall flat in the long-run:
Think long-term
For someone who's evidently passionate about bringing artistic culture back to Milton Keynes and reinstating the integrity of the gallery, who is Georgeson doing this for?
I'm not sure how many people are going to return after the 'New Year egg hunt' is over. Yes, the visitor numbers are likely to increase over the coming weeks, but what next? Arguably, advertising could have done the same.
Although Georgeson's gone one better and created a buzz through a 'PR stunt', how is he going to fund the ongoing campaign and keep giving people reasons to come back?
You don't get many surprises at my age
It would have been risky, but Georgeson could have kept his cool and played the game a little longer – and not gone to the press before the stunt had even launched. Call me cynical, but does a rare Robin Hood in the 21st century really make such a public announcement about their endeavours?
An element of mystery would have given the 'campaign' a better grounding and positioned Georgeson as more of a hero if he'd waited. Think Banksy.
I'll give him this though – the timing is spot on. Every day, we're being told how households are still feeling the pinch and money is a language everybody speaks.
Georgeson says: "It almost doesn't really matter what happens, it's the fact that it's there."
Serious? We live in a 'give to get' society. PRs especially. If you're not hungry for the PR value or questioning the return of investment, you're not going to excel. Georgeson should have thought more about his messaging – didn't he want to bring the gallery to the centre of the community?
Keep your clients informed
According to the gallery's press office, who have not been told of the cheque's location, the team have carefully searched for it but cannot find any trace.
A careful ploy to encourage more visitors who believe they still have everything to play for I wonder?
This part of the story just makes us wonder how hard they were looking.
This will be a campaign to watch – especially when it comes to how much the artist and gallery benefit.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time — the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression. Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts…. Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind. I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts him. I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruction. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

Hayne ready for a new challenge as Fiji halfback
Margie McDonald Senior Reporter
Tue 19 Jun 2018, 08:58 PM
There is no tactical sub-plot to Fiji coach Matt Adamson switching playmaker positions by putting Jarryd Hayne to halfback and moving Henry Raiwalui to five-eighth for Saturday's Pacific Test against PNG.
Fiji made it to the 2017 World Cup semi-finals with Raiwalui at No.7 and Hayne at No.6 for all five games in last year's tournament.
In Hayne's 205 NRL games with Parramatta and the Gold Coast Titans, plus his nine Tests for Fiji, he has never donned the No.7 jersey – playing mainly fullback, but also five-eighth, centre and wing.
"It's no different. They are virtually the same position – it's just numbers," Adamson told NRL.com of the jersey number swap. In the Fiji team initially announced last Sunday, Hayne was in his familiar No.6 jersey.
But underlying the change could be the new-found belief by Adamson that it's time Raiwalui stamped himself more on the Bati plays.
Raiwalui is 29 but after coming through the Dragons Under-20s side he has been on a journey through reserve grade to try to break into first grade.
He was played with three Intrust Super Premiership sides in the Illwarra Cutters (feeder to the Dragons NRL side), the Blacktown Workers (Manly) and the Mounties (Raiders).

Yet while a journeyman, he has formed a great partnership with a superstar who has been in a winning Australian World Cup side, won an Origin series with NSW, and won two Dally M medals. It seems like the Fijian version of David and Goliath.
"Jarryd has achieved a lot and it's really exciting to work with him. But I'm very impressed with Henry," Adamson said.
"He's got a lot of footy in him. He's one of those guys that's gone along at a certain level and because he's been around so many influential and powerful people, he's more or less played that understudy role.
"I had a chat with him today and sort of encouraged him to step out and become a leader. There's a lot of good footy to still be played in him," Adamson said.

"My expectation on Saturday is seeing Henry rise to another level and play some really high-quality footy. The way he gets this team around the park is second to none.
"So I've been really impressed with his knowledge of the game – the ins and outs of rugby league. He's got it covered – he knows the game back to front."
You could say that about Adamson and coaching. He has been an NRL assistant to Matt Elliott at Penrith, and worked closely with Craig Bellamy as Storm's Under-20s coach.
The former Panthers second rower, who played five times for Australia in the Super League year, as well as twice for the NSW Origin side in 2001, replaces Mick Potter as Fiji coach.
"Really honoured... to represent your country is a great honour but it's another kind of privilege to be asked to represent their country," Adamson said.
"The short build-up is not ideal," he said after putting the Fiji squad through a light session at Newport Rugby Club, which was abandoned when thunder and driving rain sent the players scurrying to the bus.
"We'll have another hit-out tomorrow, then an opposed session against Samoa (on Thursday) and the captain's run on Friday. Look you can't recreate the wheel in three days but the boys were really energetic and I like that," Adamson said.
"There is so much passion and emotion among the players. They really enjoy themselves when they are together."

Pastor Beaten, Hospitalized for His Christian Faith
Kenya –According to Morning Star News, a Somali-born pastor in Kenya was attacked by four men on December 3rd, due to leaving Islam for the Christian faith.
On Wednesday the pastor told the news source that two weeks prior to the attack, he received an anonymous, threatening text message.
"We are getting reports that you are now a Christian," it read. "You have been missing our Friday prayer meeting. If this is true, then you are risking your life."
While he had been a Christian for four years, the Pastor had continued to attend prayers at the mosque to avoid raising suspicions amongst the Muslim community. However, when Covid hit, it gave him an excuse to lower attendance.
"They started questioning me about not attending Friday prayers at the mosque," he told Morning Star News. "I kept quiet, and one of them threatened to kill me if I continued keeping quiet."
"Immediately one began to slap me while another held me with the intention of strangling me, and I fell down," he said. "They started beating me with hard objects around my knee. I then shouted for help and screamed with a lot of pain. Thank God that at that moment a vehicle approached with bright lights, and the attackers fled away, leaving me bleeding in a pool of blood."
Thankfully the vehicle stopped, and brought the pastor to the hospital, where he received treatment for a fractured leg. He was released after five days.
"I know if I report this case to the police, then the attackers can easily find a way of killing me and my family," he said. "My family is very fearful and terrified, and it is causing a lot of pressure on us."
"I thank God, because He is a mighty warrior," the pastor said. "I am determined to serve Him for making me alive for the sake of His kingdom and purpose."

SO! Without further ado, here are 37 ways to use apple cider vinegar in your home.
Digital devices. Let's start right here where you're reading this. Be it your smart phone, tablet or computer, you can wipe them down with vinegar to de-germ them and get them shiny again.
Unstick scissors. Don't use water, which can lead to rust. Wipe down sticky scissors with ACV instead.
Remove candle wax. Heat that pile of wax up with a hair dryer and soak up as much of it as you can with a rag. Then use a 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water to remove the rest.
Remove ink stains from walls and floors. Use full-strength vinegar on this one. Apply to cloth and wipe until gone.
Unclog drains. Here's where baking soda and vinegar work together. Mix ½ cup baking soda with 1 cup vinegar and pour into your drain for a volcano effect. More effective and way less harsh than the chemical cleaners.
De-mildew your bathtub. Give heavy mildew full-strength attention and for lighter stains use a 1:1 mixture diluted with water. You might want to add essential oils to the mix too for a fresh scent. A few drops of lavender or eucalyptus.
De-mildew your shower curtain. Toss it into your washing machine with 1 cup vinegar for the rinse cycle and add ½ cup baking soda to the detergent load.
Clean the washing machine. After degunking your shower curtain, give your washing machine a good cleaning with 2 cups of vinegar poured into the machine (minus any clothes) and running a full cycle.
Freshen clothes. Pulling out your summer or winter wardrobe? Or just returned from a fab thrift store run? Remove musty odors and brighten colors by adding 1 cup of vinegar to the wash cycle. Bonus: keep bright colors like red from staining other clothes by soaking new garments in straight vinegar for 20 minutes before the first wash.
Sanitize clothes. We won't ask about the blood, but you can get rid of bacteria by adding one cup of vinegar to the load.
Remove yellow clothing stains. Ring around the collar can ruin a good shirt. Eliminate it with a 12:1 ratio of warm water to vinegar. Let soak overnight before washing.
De-wrinkle clothes without an iron. Fill a spray bottle containing a 3:1 ratio of water to vinegar and spritz the wrinkles. Let the clothes hang dry.
Clean your iron. But if you're still a fan of ironing, keep it clean by filling the reservoir with vinegar, turning it onto steam and letting sit upright for ten minutes. Follow with water and let sit again on steam for 10 minutes.
Clean the toilet, tub and sink with full strength vinegar on porcelain surfaces. For hard water stains in sinks, fill with hot water and 2 cups of vinegar. Let soak 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on the stain.
Degrease your kitchen—stoves, countertops, etc with a 1:1 vinegar water solution.
Remove water stains from furniture. People who don't used coasters should be sent to live on deserted islands. But in the meantime, use full-strength vinegar to remove the stains.
Wash carpets with vinegar to remove odors and liven tread. Worn down stinky rugs are pretty depressing. Revive rugs by spritzing with a vinegar water mix letting sit for an hour before vacuuming.
Remove carpet and (cloth) furniture stains. Add a couple tablespoons of salt to vinegar and rub onto the stain. Let dry, then vacuum.
Clean stainless steel with straight vinegar.
Freshen wood. Ditch the Pledge and mix ¼ cup vinegar with 2 cups water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to bring back shine and luster.
Hide wood scratches with vinegar and iodine. Adjust the iodine level to the darkness of the wood. Use a paintbrush to apply.
Polish silver with a ½ cup vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons baking soda. Soak silver in the mixture for a few hours then rinse clean.
Polish bronze, brass and copper. Make a paste of equal parts white vinegar and salt and coat the items rubbing until tarnish is removed. Rinse with cool water and towel dry.
Prevent spots on wine glasses. Add ¼ cup ACV to your dishwasher rinse cycle.
Remove coffee or tea stains from dishes. Scrub with 1:1 ratio of vinegar and salt.
Deodorize your house. Simmer vinegar in a small saucepan on the stove top for an hour or so. For really strong, persistent smells (like smoke), leave bowls filled with straight vinegar in the rooms where the odor is really strong.
Clean cutting boards. Hotbeds for bacteria, a thorough wipe down with straight vinegar will keep them bacteria free.
Remove odors from portable coffee mugs, thermoses and lunch boxes by placing a piece of vinegar-soaked bread in the container and leaving overnight.
Clean your fridge. Baking soda may keep odors out, but vinegar does a better job at removing mildew from the door seals. Wipe them down with full-strength vinegar. And clean your whole fridge with a 1:1 water vinegar mix.
Clean ice trays. Always forget them when you clean the house? Soak in straight vinegar for several hours, then rinse, dry and use.
Sanitize jars. Reusing jars is way better than sending them to a landfill. Disinfect with a 1:1 ratio of vinegar to warm soapy water. Scrub well.
Clean your coffeemaker. Pour a 2:1 vinegar to water ratio into your coffeemaker and run a normal brew cycle. Should be done every 2-3 months to ensure the best tasting coffee.
Clean your tea kettle. Boil 3 cups of vinegar in your kettle for 5 minutes then let sit overnight. Rinse with water.
Clean pots and pans. Make a "scrub" with equal parts salt and flour or cornstarch. Dilute with enough vinegar to make a paste. Scrub off burnt or sticky foods.
Remove stickers. Soak stickers with vinegar and let sit 20 minutes. Then scrape off with a butter knife.
thats a super long and wonderful list off goodness with just one product! am bookmakring this one!
I had a case of jock itch that wouldn\'t go away despite multiple courses with Ting, and all those similar highly toxic products. It would go away but come right back. So I tried a few nights of alternating between alcohol and straight vinegar. Not only did I immediately feel delightfully fresh and clean, after a few days it was gone for good.

Uggie may not win win an Oscar, but he did receive a Mazel of the Day from Andy on Watch What Happens Live.
The Artist actor accepted his award in "non-person" and thanked Andy giving him lots of kisses — on the lips!
"I loved you in the movie," Andy told Uggie. "You were so good. I love him."

RELEASE : 11-239
NASA IT Summit Reaches For "Stellar" Results
WASHINGTON -- NASA is gearing up for a conference in San Francisco that aims to improve the quality of Information Technology (IT) at the agency, while drawing on the expertise and innovative spirit of California's Silicon Valley.
The second NASA IT Summit will take place Aug. 15-17 at San Francisco's Marriott Marquis Hotel. The theme of this year's event is, "Making IT Stellar at NASA." NASA's Chief Information Officer (CIO) Linda Cureton will host the event.
The summit will feature some of the biggest companies in the computer world, speeches from leading IT thinkers, and a strong education component aimed at getting American teens excited about science, technology, engineering and math. The next generation of explorers at the summit will learn about NASA internships and scholarships; participate in hands-on science activities; meet with tech experts; and view demonstrations by major IT vendors.
During the conference, NASA's Office of the CIO will host a luncheon titled, "Pearls of Wisdom: Our Braided Lives," in support of a White House initiative to meet the challenges faced by U.S. women and girls. At the event, women from NASA, business, industry, federal agencies and academia will meet with female high school students to foster mentoring relationships.
Students also can attend the panel discussion titled, "Education Blast-Off," with former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin, who now is the agency's associate administrator for Education, and Vernice Armour, the first African-American female combat pilot.
Social media will be integral to the event. Many sessions will be live streamed on the Web.
On Twitter, follow NASA's CIO at: http://twitter.com/nasacio, and the #nasait hashtag for summit updates. For further information, contact Karen Harper at 202-358-1807 or karen.l.harper@nasa.gov.

Will this be the year you seriously drive up the value of your company?
If you have resolved to make your company more valuable in 2017, you may want to think hard about how your customers pay.
If you have a transaction business model where customers pay once for what they buy, expect your company's value to be a single-digit multiple of your Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA).
If you have a recurring revenue model, by contrast, where customers subscribe and pay on an ongoing basis, you can expect your valuation to be a multiple of your revenue.
Buyers pay up for companies with recurring revenue because they can clearly see how your company will make money long after you hit the exit.
If you have a product that people run out of, consider offering it on subscription. The retailing giant Target sells subscriptions to diapers for busy parents who don't have the time (or interest) in running to the store to re-stock on Pampers. Dollar Shave Club, which was recently acquired by Unilever for five times revenue, sells razor blades on subscription. The Honest Company sells dish detergent and safe household cleaning products to environmentally conscious consumers and more than 80% of their sales come from subscriptions.
If you're a consultant and offer specialized advice, consider whether customers might pay access to a premium membership website where you offer your know-how to subscribers only. Today there are membership websites for people who want to know about anything from Search Engine Marketing to running a restaurant.
If you bill by the hour or the project, consider moving to a fixed monthly fee for your service. That's what the marketing agency GoBrandGo! has done to steady cash flow and create a more predictable service business.
Ask yourself what your "one-off" customers buy after they buy what you sell. For example, if you make a company a new website, chances are they are going to need somewhere to host their site. While your initial website design may be a one-off service, you could offer to host it for your customer on subscription. If you offer interior design, chances are your customers are going to want to keep their home looking like the day you presented your design, so they might be in the market for a regular cleaning service.
If you offer something expensive that customers only need occasionally, consider renting access to it for those who subscribe. ZipCar subscribers can have access to a car when they need it without forking over the cash to buy a hunk of steel. WeWork subscribers can have access to the company's co-working space without buying a building or committing to a long-term lease.
You don't have to be a software company to create customers who pay you automatically each month. There is simply no faster way to improve the value of your business this year than to add some recurring revenue.
So are you ready to drive up the value of your business? Take this 13-minute assessment to learn where to focus your efforts on driving value.


Loud music makes our heart thump and it pumps the blood faster through our veins. Some of us really love to party with loud music that makes them forget the rest of the world. Keeping in mind the demand of the buyers some super loud speakers and subwoofers have been designed. These speakers and subwoofers are best suited for parties but you can also use them at home for catching every thump of the musical beats. In the following the top loudest speakers and subwoofers have been listed for your help.
The TL 2691 is probably the best 6X9 loud speaker available in the market. It is immensely powerful and produces crisp, high volume sound. It has 92.01db sensitivity. Even when you put the speaker on at its highest level of sensitivity the distortion of sound stays minimal. The air induction pole piece inside this device makes it flexible and helps it capture bass sounds.
Paradigm has been in the business for a long time and they already have a huge clientele. There recent launch is the Sub 2 Subwoofer that has six low distortion drivers. At 10Hz, it churns out a sound of 112db. It is capable of producing 4,500 watts of power non-stop for a long time. However, the only disadvantage of this high quality subwoofer is its extremely high price. You can get it for a steep $11,300 from the market.
This is really a gigantic sound amplifier system. It has 40 drivers and looks like a virtual wall of sound. Each of the 40 amplifiers produces 1000 watts of sound energy. The wall of sound produced by Danley Sound Labs also has a built in generator.
Digital Designs have marketed the 9918Z sound system, which has an eighteen-inch long subwoofer. The Four Stetsom KD amplifiers are capable of producing 26,000watts of power.
Mark Eldridge, Richard Clark and David Navone have together built the 60-inch Subwoofers. This subwoofer can produce 188db sound. The motor can produce 6,000 pounds of linear force.


Google Image Search Bug Where Only Some Images Are Loading?

Google Image Search Bug: Only Some Images Are Loading?
There are a bunch of complaints in the Google Web Search Help forums about a bug with Google's image search where the images are not fully loading. The first few rows of images might come up and then the rest do not, plus the rest of the interface somewhat freezes up.
Google Images while using Chrome (on Firefox it works perfectly fine), only about 3 rows of images load, the others remaining colored squares, and I can't click or open the images that do show. The "Safe Search" dropdown menu doesn't work, and neither do the "more", "settings" and "tools" buttons/links.
I personally cannot replicate this but there is a number of people who are experiencing the same issue since over the weekend.
Google has not responded, so I don't know if it is a browser security issue, ISP related, browser specific, OS or something else?

Chris Pelech had his motorcycle helmet stolen while visiting Maple Ridge, and was pepper sprayed after chasing the thieves. (Contributed)
Man chased thieves in Maple Ridge, got pepper sprayed
Motorcyclist had expensive helmet stolen in Maple Ridge
Neil Corbett
Oct. 25, 2018 12:00 a.m.
A man who chased the men who stole his $1,500 motorcycle helmet ended up pepper-sprayed in the face and lost track of them.
Chris Pelech, a 47-year-old White Rock resident, stopped in Maple Ridge on Sunday during the last motorcycle ride of the year for him and his wife. They were headed for Hell's Gate, but decided to stop for lunch, and found Big Feast Bistro online. They pulled their motorcycles into a parking spot right across 227th Street, where they could watch them.
Because they were so close, they left their motorcycle helmets on the handlebars.
The couple couldn't get a table on the patio, and were inside the restaurant. Pelech was just starting his second cup of coffee when he noticed a man standing over his motorcycle.
He started for the door, and by the time he was outside, the man was on a mountain bike, and Pelech's helmet was gone.
The suspect pedalled south on 227th St., with Pelech running behind. He could see the man trying to hold something underneath a large jacket with a hood.
"He was trying to hide it, and pedal away."
The mountain bike made a right-hand turn on Selkirk Avenue, and as Pelech rounded the corner, he saw a man stuffing a "large bulbous object" that he believed to be his helmet into a backpack. He didn't see the transfer, but was sure the original suspect had passed the helmet to a second person on foot.
"Hey, man," he said.
The man with the backpack didn't acknowledge him, walking through the parking lot of Langley Farm Market.
"Hey man, what's in the backpack?" Pelech said, closing in on the second man.
"He turned and fired pepper spray at me," he said.
The first shot missed, but the second he took fully in the face.
"It took my breath away. I inhaled some, and it dropped me to my knees, and I couldn't see very well," he said.
"If it was a $100 helmet, I would have called it a day."
But the helmet is a Schuberth C3 Pro with a smoke shield and a high-end communications system.
Pelech needed help, and banged on a car window to ask the man inside to call 9-1-1. Then he continued after the man with the backpack, yelling at people to stop him.
Two men joined the pursuit, one man taking video with his phone. As they drew close to one of the men, Pelech warned them of the pepper spray, and they fell back. They went down Lougheed Highway and into the Haney Place Mall.
The original suspect on the bike returned, and gave the man with the backpack his bike. He rode away to in a southwest direction.
Then the first suspect walked into Haney Place Mall.
The pepper spray was continuing to irritate Pellech's eyes, he couldn't see, and he had to give up the chase.
"My adrenaline was done, and I was blind," he said.
He almost walked in front of a car on the way back to Big Feast.
The police arrived and took statements from witnesses.
Ridge Meadows RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Brenda Gresiuk said police got the call at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 21, and are now investigating a theft and assault with a weapon. They have canvassed the area for witnesses and video surveillance.
Pelech did not get a good look at the first suspect, who took his helmet and fled on a bike. But he was about 5'6″ to 5'8″ and with a hunched appearance and baggy clothing, including a dark plaid jacket with a hood.
The man who put the helmet in a backpack was about six feet tall, slender, had a blondish, short haircut and bad teeth.
Pelech said it would be about six or seven hours before he started to feel normal again.
He appreciated the restaurant did not charge him for lunch, or the people who got involved.
"A shout out to the good citizens of Maple Ridge who helped out," he said.
"I feel sorry for the taxpaying citizens in that area, who have to put up with that crap."
Pelech is a tugboat operator and said he has to take some responsibility in that he left the helmet, but has been riding and travelling for a long time without incident.
"I'm 47 years old and I'm working towards a goal of 50 countries before 50. I currently sit at 49 countries to date, and a few on the list were not the safest to backpack through," he said. "It's shocking that this incident took place 45 minutes from where I live … all those countries, all those scary little villages in Central America in the middle of the night, arriving on the chicken bus, travelling through villages in the Transkei in South Africa, where you're more of a food source than tourist.
"Never once was I assaulted. That happened in Maple Ridge just before brunch. Crazy."
Gresiuk asks that anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the suspects, contact the Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251. If you wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at www.solvecrime.ca. CrimeStoppers may pay a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

you want to make the world a better place.
you want to »love all children of all species for all time«.
you want insupoo!
thermo-insulative internal wall coating · post-consumer grass · 100% sustainable
insupoo is based by 98% on regionally sourced post-consumer grass: sheep-manure: a single sheep produces about 1.5 l manure a day which is manually collected off pastures, then matured, blended and inoculated to be delivered on site.
insupoo is highly thermal insulative.
insupoo is humidity balancing.
insupoo is selfcuring.
insupoo could be applied manually or machined.
insupoo has close to zero energy embodied.
insupoo is obesity depreciating.
insupoo could be deployed to pastures after need.
insupoo could be applied to a large variety of massive external wall constructions, [a] be it exposed masonry, rendered blockwork, prefabricated concrete… there are nearly no limits. to ensure a longlasting compound as well as an uninterrupted transportway for air moisture especially on slick backgrounds, a straw-mat [b], could be fixed to the wall. without no need for no studs, subconstructions or primers, insupoo is now sprayed or thrown on the wallface [c]. the baselayer is not only larger grained then the top coat, but also inhabits an average of 200 to 220 hard working oligochaetii per squaremeter insupoo: for ±7 days, these little helpers make their way throughout the insupoo. Bequeathing you an miraculous mace of neverending cavities. and fantastic insulative performance.
the top coat [d] is elastified with an emulsion of carnaubawax, making it easy to level out whilst controlling humidity migration. you can then add whatever finish you want: mineral paint, wallpaper, oil or even an additional layer of chromatized wax to save you the tiling.

Campgrounds on I-95 in Delaware
RV Parks in Salisbury, Maryland
The Best Tent Camping in Rhode Island
Kris Gleba, Leaf Group Updated March 09, 2018

Campgrounds in Kissimmee, Florida
Tent Camping Near Boone, NC With Showers
Camping is a great way to unwind and get back to nature, especially for travelers who lead hectic lives back home. Rhode Island packs a lot of attractions into a tiny package, including several campsites that allow tent camping. Thanks to the state's small size, most of the sites are less than a day's drive from major attractions. Grab a tent, some camping gear and relax by the fire.
Best for Beach Access
Two of the state's campgrounds are the best for those looking to camp near the beach. Fishermen's State Park and Campground in Narragansett is less than 2 miles from four state beaches: Scarborough, East Matunuck, Salty Brine and Roger Wheeler. Tent campers can camp in two sites with water and electrical hookups or in a primitive camping site. The campground features modern amenities including showers and bathrooms, plus fun activities like a playground and sports courts. The campground is open from April to October.
Best for Activities
Two campgrounds offer abundant activities. Whispering Pines Campground in Hope Valley offers catch-and-release trout fishing, playing multiple sports on the athletics field, renting bikes and swimming in the pool. Campers are welcome to explore the pond in one of the provided canoes or paddle boats, for free. Enjoy the spacious tent sites, buy supplies at the store, unwind with a free shower and check email courtesy of free Wi-Fi. Enjoy scheduled activities from April to October, which include pancake breakfasts, bingo, and arts and crafts activities for the kids.
The Westwood YMCA Family Campground is 17 miles north of Hope Valley in Coventry and features archery, hiking trails and volleyball. Campers can also fish, sail and swim in Lake Quidnick Reservoir. The tent sites feature electricity, fire rings and picnic tables. Special family-friendly events are held throughout the season and include a potluck dinner, a Halloween party and a fishing tournament. The campground is open from May to October.
Best for Access to Attractions
Consider two campgrounds whose locations offer convenient access to southern New England attractions. The Melville Ponds Campground in Portsmouth is 7 miles north of the sights of Newport. Tour 11 historic mansions maintained by the Preservation Society of Newport County or partake in the annual Newport Folk Festival. The campground provides primitive tent sites and natural amenities such as 150 acres of coastline favorable for hiking and fishing. Fire rings, picnic tables, restrooms and hot showers are available.
Travel 30 miles east of Middletown to the Oak Embers Campground in West Greenwich. The campground is near Stepping Stone Ranch, a horse farm that offers trail rides as well as boarding for your horses. Oak Embers is 30 miles northeast of the gambling opportunities and restaurants at Foxwoods Resort Casino. From the casino, drive another another 10 miles south to visit the sea creatures at the Mystic Aquarium and the exhibits about 19th century New England life at the Mystic Seaport. The campground features primitive tent sites and campers have access to hot showers, bathrooms and a laundry room. The campground is open from May to October.
Best For Children
Children will enjoy the activities provided by two campgrounds, Bowdish Lake Camping Area and Ginny-B Family Campground. Bowdish Lake Camping Area in West Glocester features a craft area, coloring contests, kickball games, a playground and a game room. Special events such as ice cream parties, acrobatic performances and exotic animal showcases are held throughout the season. Swim in the lake, borrow some stilts or enjoy the nighttime campfires. The campsites feature electricity, water and basic cable. Six bathhouses and a camp store provide various forms of refreshment. The campground is open from May to October.
The Ginny-B Family Campground is 5 miles west of West Glocester in Foster. Kids can enjoy the two rec halls, playground, sports courts and fishing. Organized children's events include Saturday bingo games and dances. Each campsite features picnic tables fireplaces, electricity and water. The campground offers a store, laundromat and eight restrooms with free showers. Leashed pets may join you. The campground is open from May to September.

Baby surrender would be made easier by House bill
By State House News Service | May 12, 2016, 15:28 EDT
Printed from: https://newbostonpost.com/2016/05/12/baby-surrender-would-be-made-easier-by-house-bill/
An unidentified deputy holds an infant girl where she was found abandoned under asphalt and rubble, lower left, near a bike path in Compton, Calif. (Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department via AP)
BOSTON – Parents wishing to surrender a newborn under the state's baby safe-haven law could arrange a meeting to give an infant to an emergency responder by calling 911 under a bill passed Thursday by the Massachusetts House of Representatives that would amend the statute.
Passed in 2004, the Safe Haven Act lets parents surrender babies who are seven days old or younger at a hospital, police department or manned fire station. The babies are then taken into Department of Children and Families custody and placed in foster care.
In a short, lightly attended session Thursday morning, the House approved the bill (H 114) sponsored by Lakeville Republican Rep. Keiko Orrall that would add "with an emergency responder at an agreed upon location following a 911 call" to the list of facilities where a newborn can be surrendered into state custody.
The change is modeled after language in similar laws in Vermont and New Hampshire, Baby Safe Haven New England director Michael Morrisey has said.
At least 25 babies have been surrendered in Massachusetts since the safe haven law took effect, according to recent Baby Safe Haven New England figures.
Supporters of baby safe haven laws say they prevent infant abandonment, while critics caution they could encourage women to keep unwanted pregnancies secret and deliver without medical supervision.
Orrall's bill has four Republican and three Democrat cosponsors. It was approved in the House on a voice vote and without any discussion. The bill now moves to the Senate, where Assistant Minority Leader Sen. Richard Ross, a Wrentham Republican, is one of the Senate cosponsors.

Small Area Plans
A Small Area Plan (SAP) defines a vision for redevelopment in a relatively small area of the City, approximately 10 blocks in size. The vision for redevelopment is sensitive to the area's history and responds to the current and future needs of the City's residents, workers, and visitors. These plans are developed with guidance from the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan, which calls for refining the vision for redevelopment of the City's commercial areas. To date, the City has developed three small areas plans and is working on additional plans.
Revitalization Zones & Small Area Plans (Adopted 2016) - The Revitalization Areas to be designated on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Falls Church encompass commercial areas along Broad Street (SR 7) and Washington Street (US 29) that generally align with the City's Planning Opportunity Area (POA) boundaries. The POA boundaries provide a guide as to where the City is promoting revitalization through the creation of Small Area Plans. The purpose of these Revitalization Areas is to designate where redevelopment will be encouraged. Link to Document
Adopted Small Area Plans
North Washington Street (Adopted June 2012) - The location as a major gateway along Route 29, close proximity to Metro, and commercial zoning presents the potential for the area to serve as a catalyst for economic and community growth within the city. Link to Document
South Washington Street (Adopted October 2013) - The purpose of the South Washington Street Planning Opportunity Area (POA) Small Area Plan is to provide a framework for higher-density, pedestrian and bicycle oriented mixed-use redevelopment that takes advantage of the new Multimodal Transportation Center and provides a unique southern gateway into Falls Church. Link to Page | Link to Document
Downtown (Adopted June 2014) - The Downtown Falls Church POA represents the commercial heart of the City and has potential to become a local and regional destination focused around the regional crossroads of Broad Street and Washington Street. Chapter 4 of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan calls for a more urban environment in the POA and describes the vision of walkable streets, public transportation, and integrated civic and commercial spaces. Link to Page | Link to Document
W Broad Street (Adopted April 2016) - This Plan will provide a general concept for the West Broad Street POA that can serve as a reference for the City, landowners, and developers to help guide long-term redevelopment. This plan assumes redevelopment will occur at a natural pace relative to economic conditions while conforming to the City's vision. Link to Page | Link to Document
West End (Adopted September 2020) - The West End SAP encompasses 3 POAs: The George Mason High School/Mary Ellen Henderson Campus (which includes the West Falls Church Economic Development Project), the Gordon Road Triangle, and the Falls Plaza Shopping Center. The Small Area Plan intends to highlight transportation and land use strategies for this gateway into the City from Fairfax County. Link to Page | Link to Document

Foundation, universities announce $100M for brain research

Researchers have found that nasal drops of a "good" bacterial strain can help prevent the deadly disease meningitis.
WASHINGTON - The Kavli Foundation and three universities are committing $100 million for neuroscience research and plan to launch three institutes to bring together researchers from different disciplines to investigate the workings of the brain.
The California-based foundation announced Thursday that it's partnering with Johns Hopkins University, Rockefeller University and University of California, San Francisco to launch the institutes next year.
The foundation says the funding is part of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative the president announced in 2013.
Each institute will receive a $20 million endowment supported equally by their universities and the foundation, along with startup funding. They'll be part of an international network of seven institutes focused on neuroscience and a wider network of 20 focused on astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience and theoretical physics.

The basic plan is this — we are going to gather in the Southeast corner of Christie Pits Park, bring our signs and songs and musical instruments, and then sit down on the grass and eat while we talk about what we can do about climate change. While protests have their place, this event will be joyful and friendly — we hope people walking past will be curious enough to ask what's going on — and maybe even join us. Bring guitars or drums or games or vegan cupcakes to share. Or just bring your questions and ideas!
If you are part of an organization — anything from a school eco-club to an international environmental organization — we encourage you to come out, bring a sign, flyers or just a short pitch about your group. We organized something similar for the Fridays for Future protest in March and it was a ton of fun. With warmer weather, we'll be able to learn more and hang out for longer.
Climate Picnic is vegan-friendly. We recommend that you try to bring vegan food, even if you aren't vegan. A chickpea salad for example is super easy to make and makes great picnic food. I'm not vegan myself, but I have given up red meat and am gradually reducing the amount of meat and dairy I consume. If you end up bringing some leftover sausages or your kid only eats ham sandwiches — that is, of course, totally fine. APIECALYPSE NOW — Toronto's best Vegan Pizza Joint is right across the street.
Is Climate Picnic only in Toronto? It is for now, but this event is super-easy to replicate. All it takes is one sign or banner, a few picnic blankets and some outreach to people who are already working on climate in your city. If it starts small, that's okay — Greta Thunberg started by herself and she has completely changed the climate policy discussion in six months. Email us at contact [at] climatepledgecollective.org if you have any questions — but feel free to use the name, concept, anything you like. We're a no-ego organization, if you can spread our ideas farther than we can, do it!

International Decade of Indigenous Languages!
In these waning weeks of the International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL2019), on a day that happens to also be observed as Arabic Language Day, the UN General Assembly ratified the resolution of its Third Committee (7 Nov. 2019), which includes a declaration of an International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL), 2022-32.
#Today, following the conclusion of #IYIL2019, #UNGA adopted the resolution on the rights of #IndigenousPeoples 👉https://t.co/6cQ1S5vWah which includes, inter alia, proclamation of 2022-2032 as International Decade of #IndigenousLanguages The work continues! #WeAreIndigenous pic.twitter.com/0sid5PAH3a
— UNPFII (@UN4Indigenous) December 18, 2019
The proposal for an IDIL, which was originally suggested for 2020-30, has been working its way through the UN system for several months. It was discussed on this blog in a posting this past August, and again mentioned in another post last month.
The two-year lead will leave time to prepare and organize for the decade.
I'll take the opportunity here to provide links to UNESCO's "Strategic Outcome Document of the International Year of Indigenous Languages" (15 Nov. 2019), which mentions the then proposed IDIL, and an article discussing that document.
IDILIYIL2019
International Decade of Indigenous Languages?
August 31, 2019 Don	2 Comments
Logo of IYIL2019
As we look beyond the current International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL2019), it is interesting to note a proposal for continuing that effort as an International Decade, 2020-2030 (IDIL). In this post, I'll share at what information I have found about the latter, and relate it to a similar, but now almost forgotten, proposal for a Decade following the International Year of Languages (IYL2008).
The proposal for an IDIL may have originated with Wilton "Willie" Littlechild, Grand Chief, Maskwacis. He, in turn, indicated in an April 2019 meeting of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) that the Assembly of First Nations (Canada) had in December 2018 passed a resolution advocating an IDIL. That meeting of the UNPFII also issued a call for an IDIL.
In January 2019, the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, (EMRIP)a subsidiary body of the UN Human Rights Council, released a "Statement on the International Year of Indigenous Languages, 2019." It included this paragraph, which seems like a good summary of the rationale for IDIL:
We strongly support the States that have encouraged the United Nations to Declare 2020-2030 the Decade of Indigenous Languages. This initial year is important to raise awareness among states and convene stakeholders, including universities, civil society, private sector, and other actors, in the movement for indigenous language revitalization. Yet it will take more time to reverse the dire situation of indigenous peoples' language loss. Over the course of a decade, however, it would be possible to truly transform the situation of indigenous peoples' languages, such that these languages could fully recover and flourish in the lives of indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples must play a leading role and be fully consulted while these initiatives are being discussed.
I do not currently have information on which countries actively back the IDIL proposal.
The EMRIP, in its July meeting celebrating IYIL2019, reaffirmed its support for declaration of an IDIL.
And on the recent International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, August 9, several UN human rights experts called for "a decade of action to protect and promote the use of indigenous languages, many of which are endangered."
UN Decades
UN International Decades, like the Years, are typically established by resolution of the UN General Assembly (UNGA). As I understand the process, a resolution would need to be proposed by member states, then go through a normal process of debate and revision before a vote.
It may be possible for UNESCO, the agency facilitating IYIL2019, to declare a Decade and then seek UNGA adoption. In any event, the process for something so significant is not quick (note the attempts by India, beginning with appeal to FAO in 2017, to establish a Year of Millets – which may finally happen in 2023).
IYL2008 & the Decade of Languages
Towards the end of IYL2008, I speculated on this blog about a possible International Decade of Languages and what it might do.
It was probably inevitable that someone in official circles would at least float a proposal along these lines, and indeed that was what happened in 2009. Details were hard to come by, but apparently Hungary made a proposal at UNESCO that was supported by Austria. And Venezuela, Chile, and Ethiopia also backed the idea, which evidently was given the title "International Decade of Languages and Multilingualism."
This proposal never seemed to gather the kind of constituency and support that IDIL has today. So it will be interesting to see how the latter fares.
Indigenous & endangered languages?
IDIL would address vitally important issues just as IYIL2019 does, and it is a proposal with merit. Given the frequent mention of endangered languages in the context of discussing indigenous languages – since many of the latter are among the former – I'm personally wondering if the proposal wouldn't be strengthened by joining the two categories.
Could an International Decade of Indigenous and Endangered Languages gain wider support and ultimately achieve more, while not diluting attention to languages of indigenous peoples?
