Hire a Veteran Day
July 25, 2022 /0 Comments/in Industry Issues, TMA Featured News /by Leigh McGuire
According to SHRM, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, "In 2020, 18.5 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 7 percent of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population ages 18 and older. ZipRecruiter and the Call of Duty Endowment1 reports that veterans are 15.6 percent more likely than non-veterans job seekers to be underemployed.
Veterans can help raise a company's workforce to the next level in many areas, including: Leadership and teamwork. Military service creates individuals who work to earn the respect of their peers and understand how to bring people together to pursue strategic, common goals. Problem-solving and decision-making.
According to Hire a Veteran Day Founder Dan Caporale, "The best way to honor a veteran is to hire one."
An Orion Talent's 2018 Veteran Hiring Survey found that candidates with military experience are more likely to be hired, more likely to accept a job offer, and more likely to stay at the company for a longer period of time than those without a military background.

Latest Update on Pending Privacy Legislation, June 8th
June 14, 2022 /0 Comments/in AICC, TMA Featured News /by Leigh McGuire
Proposed Data Privacy Bill Stands a Shot at Becoming First Comprehensive Federal Privacy Law
A discussion draft of a comprehensive data privacy bill was released last Friday by a bipartisan group of legislators in the House and Senate. Consumer rights advocates say the proposed compromise legislation is the biggest step to date toward granting individuals meaningful privacy protections.
The draft bill, currently known as the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (the "Data Privacy Act"), would allow users to opt out of target advertisements and to sue Internet companies that improperly sell their data. It is sponsored by US Reps Frank Pallone, Jr (D-NJ) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), who are Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and US Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. However, insiders say the legislation faces an uphill battle without the support of Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), who is chair of the Senate Commerce Committee. Cantwell is believed to support more liberal priorities for online user rights.
BLOOSTONLAW TELECOM UPDATE 4 June 8, 2022
"This bipartisan and bicameral effort to produce a comprehensive data privacy framework has been years in the making, and the release of this discussion draft represents a critical milestone," Pallone, Rodgers, and Wicker said. "In the coming weeks, we will be working with our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to build support and finalize this standard to give Americans more control over their personal data. We welcome and encourage all of our colleagues to join us in this effort to enable meaningful privacy protections for Americans and provide businesses with operational certainty. This landmark agreement represents the sum of years of good faith efforts by us, other Members, and numerous stakeholders as we work together to provide American consumers with comprehensive data privacy protections."
As summarized by a House Energy and Commerce Committee press release, the Data Privacy Act would:
Establish a strong national framework to protect consumer data privacy and security;
Grant broad protections for Americans against the discriminatory use of their data;
Require covered entities to minimize on the front end, individuals' data they need to collect, process, and transfer so that the use of consumer data is limited to what is reasonably necessary, proportionate, and limited for specific products and services;
Require covered entities to comply with loyalty duties with respect to specific practices while ensuring consumers don't have to pay for privacy;
Require covered entities to allow consumers to turn off targeted advertisements;
Provide enhanced data protections for children and minors, including what they might agree to with or without parental approval;
Establish regulatory parity across the internet ecosystem; and
Promote innovation and preserve the opportunity for start-ups and small businesses to grow and compete.
The legislation would give individual users new rights to access, correct and delete their digital data, and companies would be responsible for informing third parties to make changes to the data of users that have submitted a verified request. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would be required to maintain a public registry of data brokers and create a mechanism of users to opt out of targeted advertisements and other data sharing practices. Individuals would be permitted to sue companies, but only after a four-year waiting period after the legislation is enacted. They would also need to notify state and federal officials before proceeding, and they could not pursue their legal action of a government prosecutor takes up their case.
Proposed exceptions in the current draft (at Section 209) would generally allow collection, processing or transfer of covered data for narrowly-tailored purposes such as completing transactions, when data is collected to perform system maintenance, diagnostics or when addressing security incidents, among other things. The draft bill also provides exemptions for small entities that earned gross annual revenues of $41 million or less for the prior three years, that did not collect or process the covered data of 100,000 individuals in a year (except for processing payments and promptly deleting covered data for requested products/services) and that did not derive more than half their revenue from transferring covered data. These smaller entities may choose to delete, rather than correct, and individual's covered data.
The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), a nonprofit research group that receives funding from tech companies such as Apple and Google, issued the following statement upon the release of the proposal:
"This draft shows that there is a bipartisan path forward on long-overdue legislation to protect consumers' privacy. Americans want and desperately need legislation to protect their personal data and promote trust in the online world. While it's not perfect, the draft is a hopeful first step. We urge Congress to move forward with the legislative process and pass legislation by the end of this year."

Proposed Privacy Legislation May Impact Monitoring Companies
The United States House of Representatives has just introduced a privacy bill that has been endorsed by the Chairman and Ranking Republican of the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ranking Republican of the Senate Commerce Committee.
The bill establishes rules for when and how data can be shared. We would also point out that the bill does require explicit consent from your customers to share information and must report to them when you do. On P. 17 there is a discussion of Geolocation services which might impact TMA members.
We think the alarm monitoring industry would be exempt based upon the exemptions on P. 39 items (1), (3), & (6), but we are providing a definition of alarm monitoring and writing clarifying language specific to alarm monitoring in item (3).
House leaders swipe at Chamber over privacy bill letter
With a key House panel set to hold a hearing on a bipartisan, bicameral consumer data privacy proposal next week, Republicans were upset to see the U.S. Chamber of Commerce already bashing the bill.
The group was circulating a draft letter saying the American Data Privacy and Protection Act "is unworkable and should be rejected," CNBC reported on Thursday.
The influential business group complains the proposal doesn't go far enough in preempting state laws while also creating a "private right of action" that would allow individuals to sue companies if they believe their data is being misused.
"A national privacy law should be a true national standard but the bill's preemption language carves out fifteen different state laws including those in California and Illinois," the group wrote. "This legislation would create a new national patchwork of privacy laws."
The draft proposal would give consumers more control over their personal data, including limiting information that can be collected on the front end, supporters say.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, was especially unhappy over the Chamber letter.
"It is disappointing to see the Chamber – who has urgently called for a national privacy framework for years – suddenly change their tune like this," Sean Kelly,CMR's spokesperson, said in a statement.
"They are not being constructive by asking Congress to abandon ongoing bipartisan, bicameral efforts on a federal privacy standard," said This draft bill is going through the regular order process, and includes policies that have been public and received comment in one form or another for several years. We are continuing to welcome and encourage stakeholder feedback, especially from those who still believe a federal data privacy standard is urgently needed."
This is just the last flare-up between the Chamber and Republicans on the Hill. The big business lobby, once an ally to Republicans, has faced increased skepticism from GOP lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
House Energy and Commerce's Consumer Protection and Commerce subcommittee has a hearing set for Tuesday on this issue, so we'll definitely hear a lot more on this proposal.

Q: Nav table - need info from two different tables Hello new to PHP and in a bit of a bind.  I need to diplay a nav bar PID = "nid"  nid is the page i am on so say i am on a page A and page A has 5 sub nav categories(child ID) then they will display on the left side. MY problem here is that the cid and its name are on two different tables..(tables are listed at bottom) Thanks
$navQuery = 'SELECT * FROM tblnavpc WHERE PID = \''.$nid.'\'';
$navQueryResults = mysql_query($navQuery) or die(mysql_error());

$numNavItems = mysql_num_rows($navQueryResults);    echo'

align="left" valign="top" class="medium">
'. $NavName .'

     /tr>';
// echo '
Nav Items'.  .'
';

for($i = 0; $i < $numNavItems; $i++){
    $childName = mysql_result($getResults1,$i,"NavName");
    $childNavID = mysql_result($navQueryResults,$i,"cID");
    echo '

align="left" valign="top" class="medium">href="cat_ap~pnid~'.$nid.'~nid~'.$childnavID.'~post.htm">'.$childName.'

';

}

table:  tblNavPC
pcid     (parent child id)
pid      (parent id)
cid      (child id)
related
navpcdate
Table: tblNav
NavID
NavName
NavDisplayName

A: Sounds like you're just looking for a join. Your query should be something like this:
SELECT n.NavDisplayName
FROM tblNavPC AS pc
    LEFT JOIN tblNav AS n ON n.NavID = pc.cid
WHERE pc.pid = $nid;

(change the SELECT clause as needed to get the information you need)

Importance Of PC Games
In earlier times we used to play games on the video game and console which needed a lot of setup and time and there was a limited number of games that you can play. But as the technology is developing the ways of playing games have also developed now we can easily play any game on our PC by just simply downloading it. You can download any one of the free PC games for your PC so that you can easily enjoy your leisure time. You just need to make sure that before downloading that the game you want to play should match the specifications of the computer.
Supplementary bumf
This will help you to enjoy the game with ease and do not face any problem in the installation also. There are a lot of things that can be really very helpful for you if you knew about them earlier but it's not too late let us gather some information about free PC games.
There are a lot of games that support mod support. If the games that you play have mod support then it is really very good. The reason behind this is that mod support will have got the best gaming experience. These mods are really very good and even better than the real games.

Q: What is the difference between ctypes.pointer, ctypes.POINTER, and ctypes.byref? In ctypes, what is the difference between pointer and byref? They both seem like a way to pass a pointer to a function, for example as an output parameter.

A: Functionally, they are equivalent.
However, the python docs do point out that pointer does a lot more work since it constructs a real pointer object, so it is faster to use byref if you don't need the pointer object in Python itself.

Teaching Math and Reading Through Cooking
By Max Darrow
Published Jul 8, 2014 at 7:08 PM
A boy learns how math and cooking combine for a healthy lifestyle.
Philadelphia's Parkway Central Library is not only home to more than 7 million books, it now hosts the nation's first Culinary Literacy Center.
According to Elizabeth Fitzgerald, the library's Culinary Literacy Specialist, the center's purpose is to combat low literacy rates and to teach both children and adults about healthy eating, reading, and math.
"We're trying to teach literacy skills through cooking," she said. "And we're working with a number of organizations in the city to achieve that end."
Middle School Bans Shorts
The Culinary Literacy Center is working with Center for Literacy and the Penn State Extension to create an 8-week curriculum that would spice up learning for participants.
"We thought it was a good opportunity to give people something more hands on," Fitzgerald said. "It's easier to learn things when you're doing them. We also wanted to support nutrition and healthy initiatives."
Senate to Vote on Philly Cigarette Tax for Schools
Last month, the center kicked off a variety of programs designed for different audiences and age groups. Some are more cooking based, some are more focused on reading and math.
"We're doing some 'educainment' cooking classes and a lot of programs with kids," she said. "We're in the middle of 'Summer Thyme Kids,' where small groups of children come in once a week for 4 weeks for a hands on cooking class."
Rare World War II Map Found in Garage
A few of the cooking programs help teach people English.
"We're also doing programs with the Garces Foundation, who work with restaurant workers that are learning English," Fitzgerald said. "Their mission and our mission with regards to literacy are really aligned. It's like an English language conversation group, but also a job training program as well."


First off, Happy Valentine's Day!
I think the title of this post really states what a gaming nerd I am. After all, who else do you know that could convert gaming into such a bonus in all aspects of their lives. 'Gee, it only looks like I'm playing World of Warcraft. In reality, I'm gearing up for the release of my novel.' I think I'll have to try that one out on the Hubby Man sometime.
Now, let me explain how I believe playing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game has helped me.
Number one. All MMORPGs run a storyline or in reality many of them. It is learning to follow the main storylines that allow you to level and progress faster throughout the game. Sure there are small side quests. I call them the rabbit hole quests. They don't lead anywhere, but some of them are fun to do.
This applies to writing for the same reason. You need to follow a few storylines that progress to a satisfactory ending for your readers. If run off down too many of the rabbit hole quests you'll find that you write yourself in corners and can often leave your readers confused and wondering why there is no real ending to those rabbit holes.
Number two. When going into dungeons are doing group encounters you're forced to work together as a team. If you do not do the things that they expect or if something occurs that causes your entire party to die horribly during the encounter, it brings a barrage of anger and crude comments flying in your direction. Yes, I'm aware that some people take games far too seriously.
You might be asking how that could possibly apply to writing. Well, that one is a little simpler. That intake of verbal abuse can help thicken your skin, it will also teach you coping mechanisms during difficult times. Not to mention, you can use it to help you learn to stick with something when it becomes hard to want to continue doing so.
Number three. This one is probably the easiest and the one most people expect. It gives you the ability to relax and somewhere to take your frustrations out. Like all things, though, you have to limit yourself or it can take over your writing time.
I don't think I really need to explain how this can help with writing. It's pretty cut and dry.
I probably could have come up with more, but it's four a.m. here and my brain is mush. These are all my excuse…err I mean reasons why taking some time to play video games, but especially multiplayer ones can benefit your writing.
As for what is going on with Malevolent Mind. We are ten days away from the cover reveal. Oh my Gosh, I can't wait. Seriously love this cover! Hands down my favorite cover yet.
Also, if you are a writer and looking for an amazing editor you can find Tricia here. She is a doll to work with, professional, and affordable so give that a click and look at her website.
Remember to L.O.L (Live it, Own it, Love it) or it isn't worth doing.
Great post we all need to relax a little. I have bubble game and a fish game i play on occasion.
We all have our words that we like to use. Unfortunately, I have many. My characters don't look around the room – they survey their surroundings. A lot. I have no idea why.
I'm glad you have something you can fall back on to relax. I used to play a computer card game, but the laptop I've been using doesn't come equipped with that, so no games for me.


Earlier ICC associate member Nepal scored 126 for 5 in stipulated 20 overs in their 2nd Group-A match against Bangladesh, first-ever international match against a Test-playing nation, of the ICC World Twenty20 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Tuesday.
Earlier, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss for the 2nd consecutive match and elected to field first with a sweet memory of beating Afghanistan by nine wickets last Sunday as the Tigers need to seal the victory against Nepal to ensure a smooth passage to reach the Super 10.
Both the teams fielded the same squad like the first matches, although Mashrafe remained an injury concern for Bangladesh. Nepal also chose not to make any changes after their 80-run historic win over Hong Kong in the first game.
Going to bat first, Nepal made a good start scoring six runs per over, but Forhad Reza made the first breakthrough dismissing opener Subash Khakurel for 19 runs in the 4th overs. Khakurel scored 13-ball 8 runs before he was caught by Abdur Razzak at mid-off.
Pacer Al Amin Hossain turned the match into Bangladesh's favour taking two quick wickets of Sagar Pun and Gyannendra Malla in a span of only three balls in the 7th over to restrict Nepal to 39 for 3 in 6.3 overs.
Gyanendra Malla retuned to the pavilion as he trapped leg before by Al Amin Hossain quick-firing six-ball 13 runs including two boundaries.
But, number four right-handed batsman Paras Khadka pairing with Sharad Vesawker repaired the innings in the 4th wicket stand contributing 85 runs in 12.3 overs to carry the team total to 124 for 4 in 18.6 overs.
Parash Khadka scored 41 runs off 35 balls with five fours before he was bowled by pacer Mashrafe Bin Mortaza while Sharad Vesawkar scored 40 runs off 43 balls hitting five fours before be fell victim of run out by Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim.
Al Amin Hossain grabbed two wickets for 17 runs in his quota of four overs while Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Forhad Reza took one wicket each conceding 23 and 27 runs respectively.

Yiddish Opera at the Standard Theatre, London 1895
Judith Thissen
Spanning almost four centuries and more than 11 million of digitized pages, the online newspaper collection of the National Library of the Netherlands is full of surprises. While looking for reports about the first screenings of the Lumière cinematograph in Paris, I stumbled on a story about a Yiddish opera company that was performing in London in December 1895. I was intrigued by the title and the fact that the review was published in a newspaper for the Dutch East-Indies (today's Indonesia). Who in Surabaya would possibly be interested in reading about Yiddish theatre in London's East End? I won't attempt to answer that question, but I do like to share what the writer tells us about what is probably one of the first Yiddish performances at the 2400-seat Standard Theatre on Bishopsgate.
The article was written by J.T. Grein (1862-1935), a prominent Anglo-Dutch theatre critic and impresario, who was one of the founders of the Independent Theatre Society in London in 1891. Throughout his career, Grein regularly wrote about the Jewish stage. In the early 1920s, he extensively covered the rare visits to London of the Vilna Troupe, and he was strongly involved with the Jewish Drama League. Grein may well have developed this life-long interest from his first encounter with Yiddish drama in London's East End in 1895.
Grein knew the East End quite well. In the early 1890s, he published several short stories about the quarter and its poor. Walking in Aldgate in December 1895, he was nevertheless surprised to see big posters in Hebrew letters and smaller ones in English announcing a series of Yiddish performances by the Oriental Operatic Company.
I don't need to explain to you that I was looking with big eyes at the posters – great Hebrew operas, sung by Jews, composed by Jews, performed in a Jewish neighbourhood – this was so unique that I just had to be there, even if the performance started already at 7.45, which would force me to dine in the City. And what that means, only a true "West End-man" knows.
Four plays figured on the bill: "Rabi Yoselman, the liberator of Israel - major Hebrew Opera by A. Goldfaden," "King David and King Saul by Latiner," "King Pharao," and "Sulamite-Bethlehem's Daughter" (more likely Goldfaden's popular Shulamis or The Daughter of Jerusalem).
Grein went to see the Lateiner play with a journalist friend. We get the impression from his account of the evening that he felt that they were attending a quite special event. He therefore decides to include quite detailed information from the program:
"Perhaps this is a document of some historical value," he adds somewhat cautiously. More than a century later, we are indeed delighted to find this list of names. It is a pity though that the original handbill did not survive – unlike the program of St. George and the Dragon, the Christmas play that was staged at the Standard a week later. From the surviving evidence, it seems that the director of the Standard Theatre - actor-manager Andrew Melville (1853-1896) - used to program travelling companies whenever he was rehearsing a new play with his own troupe. This gave the small company led by Sigmund (later Charles) Nathanson and Marks Berggreen their first break in London.
In February 1896, East End audiences could enjoy opera again at the Standard Theatre – this time Italian and German works performed by J.W. Turner's English Opera Company. Program, East London Theatre Archive (ELTA).
What impression did the performance of King David and King Saul make on J.T. Grein and his friend? We have to realize that they were outsiders in more than one respect and must have stood out from the rest of the audience, mostly immigrants from the East End. Neither of them spoke Yiddish and the whole setting was rather exotic to them as middle-class gentlemen. It was a bit like a slumming expedition. This may have added to the excitement. In any case, there is no doubt that the two men had a good evening.
The review centers on the music. Grein particularly appreciated the orchestration and fine singing. He points out that it was the kind of fare that fans of Meyerbeer, Rossini, Mendelsohn, Halevy, Offenbach and Strauss find extremely pleasing. The implication is that he himself has a more ambitious taste, but there is also the explicit acknowledgment that the work is a fine piece in its genre. A fine piece, although not very original.
… the music of the opera Saul and David is a clever mosaic of the most famous arias of Jewish composers, there is no spark of authenticity in it, the ensembles are gaudy, full of fiorituras à la Meyerbeer, the solos are variations on popular folksongs – tunes that catch the ear and strike the sentimental heart.
Grein recognizes many tunes from other works. Evidently, he does not mind this "borrowing," which was a common practice at the time. Intrigued by the quality of the score, he is asking around about the composer of the operetta. Who is it? Professor Staub – the company's musical director? The famous Lateiner? Or someone else? He does not get a straightforward answer and decides to just enjoy the operetta like the Jewish immigrants around him. However, unlike them, there is one thing which he hates about the performance: the daytshmerish that is spoken by the actors. This rather bombastic imitation of German was preferred by many actors in the early days of the Yiddish stage, especially when they played royalty or other upper-class characters. As a near-native speaker of German, it was a torment for Grein to listen to this artificial language, which was pronounced with rolling r's and salted with typical Yiddish words like nebekh and meshuge.
Saul Makes an Attempt on the Life of David by Gustave Doré, 1866.
In the article, nothing is said about the plot. Grein probably assumed that his readers were familiar with the biblical story of David and Saul. About the staging, we learn a few things: the decor was sober and in the style of Gustave Doré. Locals - "all of the real race" - were hired as extras to play the soldiers. In Grein's view, this added to the realism of the scenes. He found it less convincing that some actors were wearing costumes that looked more like Swiss than "Oriental" garb. The troupe probably had used the wardrobe of the Standard Theatre to dress the extras and actors in the minor roles.
J.T. Grein, scanned from The Sketch, January 12, 1898, 463
Altogether, J.T. Grein's very first review of a Yiddish play leaves me with mixed feelings. It is more a human interest story than a genuine theatre review. One wonders how he wrote about West-End shows. His tone is sometimes rather paternalistic and patronizing, even condescending. In this respect, his attitude toward popular Yiddish theatre echoes the reviews of shund plays in the American Yiddish press. On the other hand, he was more friendly in his criticism than they were, and clearly found Lateiner's potboiler pleasing, in particular its music. A final question remains: who was the composer of King David and King Saul? I like to imagine that is was Yankele/Giacomo Minkowski (1871-1941), 1 an immigrant Jew from Odessa who arrived in New York in the early 1890s and wrote several scores to Lateiner operettas starring Boris Thomashefsky. The talented young man had changed his first name to Giacomo in homage to the great Giacomo Meyerbeer (born Jakob Liebmann Meyer Beer). And it is Meyerbeer's influence and tunes that J.T. Grein repeatedly recognizes and enjoys during this first visit to the Yiddish theatre in December 1895.

Presidential debates
The Democrats are taking the stage for a new round of debates. This is how to watch and what you should know
Todd Spangler
Twenty Democratic candidates for president will be in Detroit on Tuesday and Wednesday for their second primary debate, with each trying to score points at and present themselves as the most qualified person to take on President Donald Trump next year.
They will be on the hunt for memorable moments on whatever issue they can, and you can expect those hurting in the polls and fundraising totals to go after the front-runners in order to shine.
Five of the declared candidates failed to make the cut established by the Democratic National Committee and will be watching the show from the sidelines.
Here's a guide to the Detroit debates hosted by CNN:
When are the Democratic debates?
When: 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday, July 30, and 8 p.m. EDT Wednesday, July 31
Where: The Fox Theatre in Detroit
Each night is expected to last two hours.
Where can I watch the Democratic debates?
Through an agreement with the Democratic National Committee, CNN has exclusive rights to both nights and if you want to watch, you'll have to watch there. If you don't have cable or a streaming service that provides CNN, you're not necessarily out of luck: It will be streamed live on CNN.com for free and without requiring a cable provider login.
MODERATORS:Who is moderating the second Democratic presidential debate?
What sort of coverage is USA TODAY providing?
We'll have stories leading up to each day of the debates and The Detroit Free Press, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, will provide coverage from inside and outside the event on both nights, including reports from the spin room afterward – where the campaigns and the candidates come to try to push their take on how it all went. In addition:
Look for expert analysis
Best and worst moments
What's on voters' minds?
Candidate statements fact-checked in real time
Keep an eye on usatoday.com and freep.com throughout.
Can I submit a question to be asked?
No, but you can tell CNN what issue you'd like to hear discussed. Go to CNN's website at https://cnn.it/2YdGlCQ and submit your choice.
How are 20 people going to debate? Isn't that too many?
Way too many: So, as with the first debates last month in Miami, the participants are being split up with 10 taking the stage each night.
Ten is still a lot, of course, but it's a lot more manageable than 20. Also: This is likely to be the last debate where so many candidates qualify to take part, with even stricter guidelines to be put in place for the next debate or debates in September.
What's the Democratic debate lineup?
Here are the lineups:
• Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
• Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
• South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg
• Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas
• Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota
• Montana Gov. Steve Bullock
• Former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland
• Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper
• Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio
• Marianne Williamson, author
• Former Vice President Joe Biden
• Sen. Kamala Harris of California
• Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro
• Andrew Yang, businessman
• Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey
• Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado
• New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
• Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii
• Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
• Washington Gov. Jay Inslee
How was the lineup determined?
The DNC set the following criteria for candidates in order to make the debate: At least 1% support in three qualifying public opinion polls; 65,000 or more unique donors to their campaign with a minimum of 200 donors per state in at least 20 states, or both. Those doing better on those criteria were slotted into the debate up to the 20-candidate limit.
As for the selection of who would debate each night: Unlike in Miami, when Warren was the only of the four presumed front-runners on the stage the first night, and Biden, Sanders and Harris were all on night two, CNN held a random draw that assured that two of the top four would be on each night, as well as three of the next six in terms of their place in the polls each night.
Who won't get to debate either night?
Billionaire hedge fund manager Tom Steyer, a late entry in the presidential race, won't be part of the debates. Neither will Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, former Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania or Miramar, Florida, Mayor Wayne Messam. California Rep. Eric Swalwell, who was on the stage in Miami, dropped out of the race. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is taking Swalwell's place.
What will be the debate format?
According to CNN, candidates will be given time for both an opening and a closing statement. When a moderator asks a direct question of a candidate, he or she will have a minute to respond.
As anyone watching debates knows, however, these are just guidelines: The candidates will absolutely try to get as much time as they can, though CNN threatened it will deduct time from a candidate who "consistently interrupts." Any candidate targeted by another candidate as part of his or her response will be given 30 seconds to respond.
The moderators will use colored lights to tell the candidates how much time they have left: A yellow light means 15 seconds left; flashing red means 5 seconds; solid red means there is no time remaining.
CNN also says that there will be no "show of hands or one-word, down-the-line questions" for the candidates.
Finally, while many of the questions may be on similar topics from night to night, the questions themselves are expected to be different because CNN doesn't want the second-night candidates to have an advantage over the first-night ones.
Who is moderating?
CNN's Dana Bash, Don Lemon and Jake Tapper will serve as moderators for the debates.
What issues will be debated?
It could be anything but it's safe to say that health care, education, immigration and border security will all come up. And President Donald Trump: Expect him to come up a lot.

Prince Harry visits Christian charity to meet young leaders.
By Heather Preston
The Duke of Sussex made a surprise visit to the Christian charity Innovista on Tuesday to meet the youth mentors providing support to Oxfordshire's disadvantaged communities.
With 1 in 4 children in Oxford thought to be living below the poverty line, the charity's works in groups called Thrive Teams across the county to identify and train young leaders to help tackle issues of health, crime and education.
Prince Harry spent time with graduates of their mentoring programme and heard stories from those who have benefited from the project's support.
Innovista's founder and International Director, Jason Lane said; "The visit of His Royal Highness, to Thrive Teams today has brought inspiration and encouragement to young people who have been disadvantaged all their lives and who face a daily struggle to reach their potential.
"The Duke's obvious commitment to young people will help propel them on the road of personal and community transformation".

Kids Likely to Sleepwalk if Parents Have History of Nocturnal Strolls
May 4, 2015 | Age, Genes, Parasomnias | 0 |
More than 60% of children developed sleepwalking when both their parents were sleepwalkers in a study among children born in the Canadian province of Quebec, according to an article published online by JAMA Pediatrics.
Sleepwalking is a common childhood sleep disorder that usually disappears during adolescence, although it can persist or appear in adulthood. Sleep terrors are another early childhood sleep disorder often characterized by a scream, intense fear, and a prolonged period of inconsolability. The two disorders (also known as parasomnias) share many of the same characteristics and arise mainly from slow-wave sleep, according to background information in the study.
Jacques Montplaisir, MD, PhD, of the Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal, looked at the prevalence of sleepwalking and sleep terrors during childhood, any link between early sleep terrors and sleepwalking later in childhood, and the degree of association between parental history of sleepwalking and the presence of sleepwalking and sleep terrors in children.
The authors analyzed sleep data from a group of 1,940 children born in the province in 1997 and 1998 and studied in 1999 to 2011. Sleep terrors and sleepwalking were assessed through questionnaires and parental sleepwalking was asked about.
The authors found an overall childhood prevalence of sleep terrors (ages 1½ to 13 years) of 56.2%. There was a high prevalence of sleep terrors (34.4%) at 1½ years of age but that prevalence decreased to 5.3% at age 13.
The overall childhood prevalence of sleepwalking (ages 2½ to 13 years) was 29.1%. Sleepwalking was relatively infrequent during the preschool years but the prevalence increased steadily to 13.4% by age 10 years.
Study results show that children who had sleep terrors during early childhood (1½ to 3½ years) were more likely to develop sleepwalking later in childhood at age 5 years or older than children who did not experience sleep terrors in early childhood (34.4% vs. 21.7%).
Children's odds of sleepwalking increased based on the sleepwalking history of their parents. Children with one parent who was a sleepwalker had three times the odds of becoming a sleepwalker compared with children whose parents did not sleepwalk; and children whose parents both had a history of sleepwalking had seven times the odds of becoming a sleepwalker, according to the results.
The study found the prevalence of sleepwalking was: 22.5% of children without a parental history of sleepwalking developed sleepwalking; 47.4% of children with one parent who was a sleepwalker developed sleepwalking; and 61.5% of children developed sleepwalking when both parents were sleepwalkers.
"These findings point to a strong genetic influence on sleepwalking and, to a lesser degree, sleep terrors. This effect may occur through polymorphisms in the genes involved in slow-wave sleep generation or sleep depth. Parents who have been sleepwalkers in the past, particularly in cases where both parents have been sleepwalkers, can expect their children to sleepwalk and thus should prepare adequately," the study concludes.

XSLT is a language designed to transform XML documents. Instead of being a procedural programming language, XSLT models itself after functional programming, borrowing many of its fundamental design concepts. Functional programming deals with expressions rather than statements. Statements are executed. They may or may not return a value, and variables directly or indirect impacted by statements can be modified, resulting in potentially far reaching side effects once a particular statement has been executed. Expressions on the other hand, are evaluated. They can be nested, chained together as arguments to a parent expression, and combined together in various other ways. Expressions all are evaluated eventually though, simplifying down into a single return value. In a functional programming language, the parameters that an expression acts upon are immutable and thus there are no side effects when an expression is evaluated.
XSLT takes the same approach to its underlying design philosophy. In XSLT, templates are essentially expressions that can be combined together in various ways, eventually being evaluated and returning an output value that is typically, although not necessarily, a well formed XML document. Because XSLT uses immutable variables, there are no side effects when templates are evaluated. This means that an XSLT engine can optimize the transform, applying template rules in any order, sometimes even simultaneously.
Imagine what would happen if variables were mutable instead. A given template in an XSLT stylesheet can match multiple nodes in an XML document. The order in which those nodes are read would suddenly matter if say, the template output some text from the node and appended the value of an auto incrementing integer variable. Differing implementations of XSLT engines would result in different outputs, a clear violation of encapsulation. Worse, any implementation that has a non-deterministic order of evaluation will have race conditions and result in nondeterministic output every time the transform is run. This also holds true at the template level as well, as the side effects from one template that modify a variable that is used by another template could very well impact the output of the other. Nondeterministic output in a language designed specifically to output documents is a nonstarter from a design perspective, so XSLT would suddenly require some mechanism with which to specify the order of evaluation. The end result would be a language that would be quite cumbersome and awkward, as opposed to the clean and concise syntax that XSLT uses today.
Its important to have this functional programming mindset when working with XSLT. Trying to do procedural programming in XSLT is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Its possible, but the end result is not pretty. Take for instance, a for loop. XSLT provides iteration capabilities via XPATH that lets it iterate over a set of nodes and return the ones that match a certain set of criteria. However, this is not technically not the same as a for loop in a procedural programming language, which specifies a counter, an increment/decrement operation, and a comparison operator that terminates the loop. Because variables are immutable in XSLT, something as simple as having a loop counter suddenly becomes a nontrivial nightmare.
It is indeed possible to simulate a for loop in XSLT, but whether or not you would want to is another question altogether. This is more an interesting exercise in how to map functional programming paradigm to a procedural one. The following solution is based on the mammoth O'Reilly XSLT book by Doug Tidwell. The important thing to keep in mind however, is that in a real world scenario, the need for a for loop might indicate that XSLT may not be the right tool for the job. I've encountered usage of such for loops in some hairy XSLT code, and it isn't pretty. Its best to keep procedural programming tasks left to actual procedural programming languages. This is a shocking concept that can be lost on a lot of people who forget that they can either do any necessary pre or post processing in code instead of in XSLT, or write a code module in a more powerful language that can then be called in XSLT as an extension function.
But I digress. If you're a glutton for punishment, here's how you would go about implementing a for loop. The basic idea here is that because variables are immutable, we cannot increment the loop-counter directly. Instead, we can it as a parameter by recursively calling the template with the incremented value.
Note that the custom code inside this if-statement corresponds to the user-defined code found inside a standard procedural for-loop. If $testPassed is not equal to 'true', then we have reached the end of our loop and can exit the template. Otherwise, we execute the code and recursively call the template again, after having incremented $counter accordingly. This simulates the next iteration of our for-loop. Note that this section of the template will need to be changed every-time the for-loop needs execute a different set of code. Because there is no way in XSLT to pass in a set of instructions as a parameter to be later dynamically evaluated at runtime, this makes an XSLT for-loop template hard to re-use. Anytime new functionality is needed inside our for-loop construct, a new template must be created. The old template can be copy/pasted and the custom code inside the if-statement modified accordingly, but this is not an ideal solution. This further drives home the point that its best to use the right tool for the right job.

Thank you for your post about XSLT date convertions. It was very usfeul. I was looking for a way to convert a dates without using explicit Xpath date convertion functions and you gave just that. Thank you again.

Tomlin Calls Arthur Maulet 'A Rough-And-Tumble Teamer And A Versatile Defender'
By Matthew Marczi
Posted on July 27, 2021 at 5:55 pm
Arguably the most open battle in training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year is the slot defender role, and whether or not it will be occupied by starting right outside cornerback Cameron Sutton when they roll into their nickel and dime defenses.
The team's priority right now is exploring their alternative options for the slot position lain vacant with the free agency departure of Mike Hilton, with second-year Antoine Brooks Jr. and veteran Arthur Maulet being the primary contenders.
Brooks opened camp working with the starters. He suffered a minor injury and left practice on Sunday, but we do not know whether or not he returned to the field today. After practice, though, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about what he is seeing from Maulet.
"He's got a reputation of being a rough-and-tumble teamer, and a versatile defender", he told reporters. "I just think guys that show that level of versatility in two phases, you better have an interest in, and he's displaying that out here. Obviously tomorrow will be a big day, and the subsequent days after we step in the stadiums and stuff like that, but that's what his resume tells us, and he's exemplifying that".
Again, we don't know whether or not Brooks was available to practice today—Tomlin has previously said that the Maryland product will start in the slot for the Hall of Fame game—but it has been made clear that both players will get their opportunity to compete for the role over the course of camp.
Brooks has minimal playing experience, seeing a couple dozen snaps last year, but Maulet is the most veteran member of the secondary who is not slated to be in the starting lineup. He played roughly 800 snaps over the course of the past two seasons.
The Steelers are looking for a specific set of skills from their slot defender, which places roughly equal emphasis on the ability to cover as well as to play the run, and they must also be an on-the-details blitzer who possesses the physicality to hold up in the box.
That is not necessarily Sutton's forte, even though he has several starts in the slot over the past few seasons, including four in 2020. Brooks is a more physical player as a safety whom the team described as half a linebacker when he was drafted.
He seems to be the Steelers' favorite out of the gates, the player whom they hope ultimately wins the job, but Maulet's veteran experience will keep him in the running, and at least so far, Tomlin seems to be pleased with what they're getting from him.

Julieta, Looking through this album made me feel like I was instantly back at this day. The best day of my life. You are so talented, and I love every single photo you have captured and shared. I am so happy that we found you to be our wedding photographer, you and your assistant do wonderful work and work so well together! I am obsessed with the drone footage as well. I appreciate you more than you know and I can't wait to keep reliving this day through these photos. Thank you so so very much.
Thank you for everything. I really mean it when I say, you are the best of the best!

Because of you, we have beautifully unique wedding photos that will transcend time and always bring us back to that special day. You were extremely easy to work with and a true joy to be around. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone who is looking for a wedding photographer in Cabo!
Julieta! they are all amazing, I scanned through them and it made my day! Love getting to re-live every moment and see so many moments that I was unable to see and enjoy at the wedding.
We love all of your work so so much, we are so lucky to have found you as our photographer and videographer! We have already had compliments out of our ears on how amazing all of your work is. We appreciate the time you put into everything, ESPECIALLY these two videos to document how special our wedding day was.

It will be so great to share these videos with our children one day.
So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Julieta!!!!! I don't even know what to say. WOW! When I first looked at these I cried. It was like I was reliving the whole night. The photos are so candid, you caught moments I didn't even know Marcus or I were having. .
The video is absolutely perfect! I cried the whole way through. We love it and could not be happier. Thank you, thank you.
I got the pics, I absolutely loveee them! :) Thank you so, so much!


Within only a few years, Carolina and her husband Tom built a company that does dozens of deals annually with an average profit of $24,736 per deal. In the past two years alone, their businesses have generated revenues of more than one million dollars. Carolina has been featured in several publications such as the Washington Examiner and the National Real Estate Investors Association's Magazine. She was profiled in the book "Five Fearless Women in Real Estate". Carolina was born in Bogotá, Colombia and she moved to the US in 2001 after receiving a B.A. in Business from the University of La Sabana. She started investing in real estate part-time in 2003. Her first deal paid out more than what she was being paid at her job. Therefore, within one year she was able to quit her job and live the life she dreamed of. Carolina is an active part of theTraction Real Estate Mentors coaching team. She enjoys helping students do deals and seeing their lives change through real estate just like her life changed. Carolina is the Vice President of the Traction Real Estate Investors Association, which serves creative real estate professionals in the Washington DC metro area. Traction REIA is the recipient of the National REIA "2010 Honors of Merit" and the "2009 Award of Excellence" for Best Real Estate Investor Association. Carolina is the founder of Traction REIA's Women Investor Network, a group created to provide women investors with current information, tools, resources and encouragement that will help them build a solid foundation in real estate investing. Carolina became a US citizen in 2009 and that day she wrote: "It was one of my dreams when I came to this country in 2001 to be sworn in as a citizen of the United States. Only in this country could a 32 year old Colombian-born woman with no experience in Real Estate and whose first language wasn't English, become an independent and fabulously successful entrepreneur". Carolina and her husband Tom started their family with the birth of their first son Thomas Anthony, who was born shortly after Carolina went into labor at the Traction REIA January 2009 meeting!
