Fotopolimeryzacja – proces polegający na polimeryzacji monomerów w obecności fotoinicjatora, który pod wypływem światła ultrafioletowego (UV) lub widzialnego (VIS) ulega rozpadowi z wytworzeniem centrów aktywnych (wolnych rodników, jonów), inicjujących reakcję polimeryzacji.

Podstawowe właściwości

Skład
Dokładny skład kompozycji światłoutwardzalnej jest zależny od właściwości, jakie powinien posiadać gotowy materiał. Podstawowymi składnikami takiej kompozycji są:

 mieszanina monomerów
 układ inicjujący
 dodatki, takie jak: stabilizatory, napełniacze, środki barwiące, związki antyelektrostatyczne, promotory adhezji itp.

Monomery
Monomery (met)akrylowe słabo absorbują światło, dlatego w celu wytworzenia odpowiedniej ilości cząsteczek reaktywnych, wolnych rodników lub jonów, konieczne jest zastosowanie fotoinicjatorów, które można podzielić na:

 fotoinicjatory I typu – rodniki pierwotne powstają podczas fotodysocjacji wiązania ,
 fotoinicjatory II typu – rodnik powstaje w wyniku oderwania atomu wodoru od cząsteczki donora tzw. koinicjatora, również monomeru.

Wytworzone z fotoinicjatorów, pod wpływem naświetlania, aktywne cząsteczki inicjują dalej reakcję polimeryzacji. Przebiega ona ze stale malejącą szybkością, aż do chwili zaniku aktywnych miejsc rodnikowych.

Etapy fotopolimeryzacji

Inicjowanie
In ->[hv] In* ->[kd]
 + M ->[  ]
gdzie:
In – cząsteczka inicjatora
In* – wzbudzony stan inicjatora
 – rodnik pierwotny
kd – stała szybkości rozpadu inicjatora
 – rodnik inicjujący
M – monomer

Propagacja (rozprzestrzenianie się zaburzenia)
  + M ->[kp]
gdzie:
 – makrorodnik (rodnikowy koniec łańcucha)
kp – współczynnik szybkości propagacji

Terminacja (zakończenie)
Zanik centrów aktywnych w reakcji dwóch makrorodników ze sobą w wyniku rekombinacji lub dysproporcjonowania:
 ->[  ] P

Zanik centrów aktywnych w reakcji makrorodnika z rodnikiem pierwotnym:
 ->[  ] MnIn

Zanik centrów aktywnych w wyniku pułapkowania wzrastających makrorodników:
 ->[  ] ()unieruchomiony
gdzie:
P – jedna lub dwie makrocząsteczki bez centrów aktywnych.

Reakcje uboczne

Przeniesienie łańcucha
 + AX ->[  ]  MnX +

Reinicjowanie
 + M ->[kr]
gdzie:
AX – cząsteczka monomeru,rozpuszczalnika,inicjatora lub innej substancji
X – atom lub grupa atomów ulegająca przeniesieniu
kr – współczynnik szybkości reinicjowania.

Czynniki
Przebieg fotopolimeryzacji zależy od:
 temperatury
 rodzaju atmosfery, w której prowadzi się reakcję
 długości fali
 natężenia światła
 budowy chemicznej monomerów
 stężenia monomerów
 zawartości pozostałych składników mieszaniny oraz ich stanu fizycznego.

Rodzaje fotopolimeryzacji
 Fotopolimeryzacja rodnikowa – centrum aktywnym jest wolny rodnik
 Fotopolimeryzacja kationowa – centrum aktywnym jest kation
 Fotopolimeryzacja anionowa – centrum aktywnym jest anion

Zastosowanie fotopolimeryzacji
W procesie fotopolimeryzacji powstają produkty dla różnych dziedzin przemysłu, m.in. budownictwa, medycyny, stomatologii, mikroelektroniki. W budownictwie fotopolimeryzacja najczęściej stosowana jest do utwardzania (usieciowania) klejów, lakierów, szpachli i fug, powłok ochronnych stosowanych do powlekania naturalnego kamienia, ceramiki, linoleum, drewna i betonu.

Materiał, który ma być utwardzony w procesie fotopolimeryzacji, układany jest w postaci płynnej lub półpłynnej. Uzyskane w ten sposób cienkie warstwy materiału składającego się z monomerów i ewentualnie wypełniacza nie stanowią bariery dla światła inicjującego reakcję substancji fotoutwardzalnej.

Aspekty dotyczące przykładowych technologii układania

Powłoki stosowane na podłożach betonowych
Przygotowanie podłoża betonowego pod cienkowarstwową posadzkę fotoutwardzalną polega na odkurzeniu i odpyleniu powierzchni, ewentualnie poprzedzonym szlifowaniem lub frezowaniem, lub śrutowaniem, wykonywanym w celu uzyskania odpowiedniej przyczepności podłoża. Podłoże powinno mieć minimalną wytrzymałość na odrywanie 1,5 MPa. Wilgotność podłoża betonowego może wynosić maksymalnie 4%. Układanie posadzki robione jest w postaci płynnej, a następnie utwardzenie przy użyciu maszyn naświetlających.

Powłoki stosowane na podłożach drewnianych
Przygotowanie podłoża polega na cyklinowaniu i odpyleniu powierzchni.
Jako materiał fotoutwardzalny można zastosować odpowiednie oleje lub lakiery. Utwardzenie następuje przy użyciu maszyn naświetlających.

Wymagania dotyczące oświetlenia
Systemy posadzkowe utwardzane światłem UV powinny być nanoszone przy niewielkim natężeniu światła, gdyż światło słoneczne powoli utwardza (sieciuje) materiał. W pomieszczeniu zalecane jest światło sztuczne, najlepiej o barwie czerwonej.

Urządzenia do inicjowania fotopolimeryzacji
Do zainicjowania fotopolimeryzacji potrzebne są specjalne lampy o dużej mocy. Zalecane są lampy UV o mocy min. 120 W/cm2 i intensywności 2500 mJ/cm2. Lampy występują w postaci urządzeń ręcznych oraz jako wózki naświetlające.

Wady i zalety

Zalety
 niemal nieograniczony czas na operacje nakładania nawierzchni i kontroli jej jakości,
 krótki czas wiązania, umożliwiający natychmiastową możliwość użytkowania,
 wysoka odporność mechaniczna powierzchni,
 materiały przyjazne dla środowiska (brak konieczności stosowania chemicznych utwardzaczy),
 wysoka wydajność na jednostkę powierzchni przy układaniu na posadzkach.

Wady
 konieczność stosowania dodatkowych maszyn/urządzeń (lampy),
 skomplikowanie procesu układania,
 konieczność wyeliminowania/ograniczenia światła naturalnego, które zaburza proces technologiczny.

1872 Cattle Trail Map of Texas
"The Best and Shortest Cattle Route from Texas"
A legendary rarity, never before reprinted.
Take a look at the world of the Texas trail driver. A world that flashed into existence after the Civil War, was gone in the blink of an eye, and left us a uniquely American mythos.
What you see was originally distributed as a folding pocket map. It was drawn by William Weston (1844-1920), an engineer employed by the Kansas Pacific.
Railroad agents handed it out across Texas to convince trail drivers that the Ellsworth, Kansas rail head as the most convenient way to access markets East and West.
Over half a million Texas longhorns went up the trail the previous year. The Kansas Pacific wanted a bigger piece of the action and maps for cowboys seemed like the way to get it.
It's a rare gem today. An original would set you back between $5,000 and $10,000.
Collectors love it for the longhorn cartouche at lower left, which is unique in the map world.
But they also love it for what it is and what it shows. A brief, shining moment that branded the Texan soul forever.
Have a closer look:
18 by 24 inches
On heavyweight fine-art paper
Fits in a standard size frame
This is a high quality fine-art print.
The stock is acid free, heavyweight fine-art paper with an elegant ever so lightly textured finish. This surface allows the inks to 'bite', reproducing the shading and tonality of the original map vividly, beautifully, and exactly.
The inks are guaranteed color-fast for 80 years, which means you won't need to lay out the extra money for UV glass. You can hang your map in direct sun and it will be just as bright when they are passed on to the next generation it is the day it ships.
It's an instant heirloom. Get yours before they're gone...and get one to give to a friend. He'll owe you!
Shipping is $5 for this item.
Ships within 3 business days.
Ships in a sturdy tube.
Guarantee: If you don't love it, we will buy it back. No time limit.

La ligne 3 est une ancienne ligne de trolleybus dans la ville de Gand située en région flamande en Belgique. Cette ligne a été exploitée de  à .

Histoire

Le , le Conseil d'Administration de la MIVG (Société de transport intercommunal de Gand) qui dispose d'un réseau de tram vieillissant décide de les maintenir sur les lignes 1, 2, 3 et 4. Dans le centre-ville, en fonction des possibilités, ces 4 lignes devaient être souterraines. On pensa à cet effet utiliser les canaux. Pour la ligne 3, des tunnels seraient creusés. La forte fréquentation sur la ligne 3 et la nécessité de la prolonger vers de nouveaux quartiers à l'est de la ville (Gentbrugge & Sint Amandsberg) furent déterminants dans la décision de la MIVG d'y introduire « provisoirement » le bus au  (lignes 30 Mariakerke-Gentbrugge & 31 Mariakerke - Sint-Amandsberg).

En 1976, la direction du « Grand Gand » décida d'abandonner l'idée de tunnels pour les trams et de renforcer le réseau en surface. Très rapidement, on se rendit compte de la difficulté de ré-introduire des trams sur la ligne 3. Le Collège de Gand chargea la MIVG de trouver une alternative de qualité. Ce moyen de transport devait être plus souple que le tram coincé sur ses rails, plus sain pour l'environnement que les bus diesel et pouvant transporter beaucoup de voyageurs surtout aux heures de pointe. Deux options s'imposèrent : le trolleybus articulé avec moteur de secours ou le duo-bus. Le duo-bus possède un moteur électrique et un moteur thermique. Au moment du choix, le duo-bus ne semblait pas tout à fait au point et surtout, le prix de revient et les frais d'entretien élevés firent pencher la balance en faveur du trolleybus équipé d'un générateur « léger ». C'est donc ce dernier qui fut choisi pour Gand. Cette ligne serait également une « vitrine » à l'exportation pour l'industrie belge. Un projet de création d'une ligne de trolleybus est alors déposé en 1981. Il faudra cependant 8 ans pour qu'il se concrétise ! Deux années seront nécessaires rien que pour obtenir l'autorisation de la Ville de Gand pour l'installation de la ligne aérienne. Celle-ci sera installée par les sociétés Fabricom/Kummler & Matter. Autre étape importante, en 1982, les sociétés Van Hool et ACEC sont choisies pour construire les 20 véhicules jugés nécessaires. Un prototype sera construit sur base du châssis d'un autobus articulé AG280. Ce véhicule sera testé durant plusieurs mois à Solingen (Allemagne) y parcourant avec bonheur quelque 27 000 kilomètres.

En , l'installation d'une première section de ligne aérienne est terminée entre la Brusselsesteenweg et Sint-Jacobs, juste à temps pour accueillir une journée d'étude internationale sur le trolleybus. Le prototype Van Hool circulera pour la première fois à Gand. D'autres véhicules comme par exemple le trolley 150 B79T venu d'Arnhem ainsi que le trolleybus historique de Bruxelles (6023) circuleront sur ce premier tronçon.

Il faudra encore deux années pour vaincre les réticences de la Ville de Gand pour pouvoir achever les travaux d'installation de la ligne aérienne jusque Mariakerke, la Ville posant de nombreuses conditions à l'installation de la ligne aérienne dans le centre historique de la cité. De nombreuses dispositions seront prises pour limiter l'impact visuel (ndlr : ce sera un échec). En , la ligne aérienne et les sous-stations sont réceptionnées. L'inauguration aura finalement lieu en , soit 1 an après la livraison des 20 trolleybus.

En 1991, dans le cadre de la régionalisation des transports en commun en Belgique, les différentes sociétés de transport en commun disparaissent tant au sud qu'au nord du pays. En Flandre, la VVM-De Lijn devient gestionnaire des transports en commun. Les trolleybus perdent alors leur livrée bleue de la MIVG au profit de la nouvelle livrée blanc et gris de De Lijn.

L'exploitation de la ligne ne nécessite que 10 véhicules + deux en renfort aux heures de pointes de sorte qu'il sera possible de répondre favorablement à une demande de l'exploitant du réseau de la ville d'Arnhem aux Pays-Bas. Celui-ci désire louer 4 trolleybus pour compléter son parc. Quatre véhicules circuleront sur le réseau d'Arnhem d' à .

Durant les vingt années que durera l'exploitation de la ligne 3 avec des trolleybus, ces véhicules semblent être les mal aimés et toutes les excuses seront bonnes pour les remplacer par des bus diesel. La plus longue interruption de leur utilisation aura lieu d' à . En effet, d'importants travaux de voirie sur une bonne partie de leur parcours les condamnent au repos forcé. Cependant, durant cette période, les véhicules seront toujours entretenus et testés pour rester en ordre de marche. En , lors des célébrations des 100 ans de traction électrique à Gand, le trolleybus numéro 15 (pressenti alors comme futur trolleybus musée) sera exposé.

Début 2005, il se confirme donc que les trolleybus vont à nouveau circuler dans les rues de Gand. De Lijn a demandé un permis à la Ville pour implanter une ligne aérienne sur le Hagelandkaai. Le tracé de la ligne va être légèrement modifié. En effet, les véhicules roulaient dans les deux sens dans la Dampoortstraat. Cette rue étant à sens unique, les trolleys circulaient donc parfois à contre-sens du trafic automobile. Lors de la remise en circulation des trolleys, il sera mis fin à cette situation et ils emprunteront cette rue en direction du centre-ville. Dans l'autre sens, ils rouleront désormais sur le Hagelandkaai.

D' à , de nouveau travaux viennent à nouveau perturber le tracé de la ligne de trolleybus cependant, cette fois-ci, les trolleys ne seront remplacés que sur la partie en travaux. Une boucle de retournement provisoire est installée à Dampoort permettant aux trolleybus de rebrousser en direction de Mariakerke.

En , les trolleybus ont 20 ans. Une démonstration de deux nouveaux véhicules est organisée et c'est ainsi qu'un AG300T Van Hool destiné à la ville italienne de Gènes circule sur la ligne de Gand. Au mois d'août, c'est un trolleybus Trollino 18 Solaris de Winterthur qui vient également rouler à Gand. Il est permis de rêver au remplacement des anciens trolleybus par de nouveaux véhicules modernes à plancher bas.

En , grosse surprise et énorme déception, le Conseil d'Administration de De Lijn décide finalement de ne pas acheter de nouveaux trolleybus, de cesser d'exploiter ce mode de transport et de les remplacer par des bus hybrides « Diesel-Électrique » dans la perspective de re-tramifier la ligne 3 dans un lointain futur... Pendant ce temps, les trolleybus continuent à circuler dans les rues de Gand. Cependant, les voyageurs attentifs remarqueront que de plus en plus de bus diesel sont injectés sur la ligne. Au mois de juin, plusieurs trolleybus à bout de souffle sont expédiés à l'ancien dépôt de Lochristi.

À la fin d', à la suite de plusieurs pannes en ligne, les trolleybus sont tous confinés à leur dépôt et la ligne 3 est entièrement exploitée en mode diesel. Finalement, au mois de , quelques trolleybus refont leur apparition sur la ligne. Il est cependant décidé que les trolleybus ne circuleront que du lundi au vendredi. Ils ne circuleront plus le week-end ni les jours fériés. L'hiver 2008 sera particulièrement rigoureux. Le bus Fiat servant au dégivrage de la ligne aérienne est en panne. La ligne aérienne ne sera plus dégivrée... et les trolleybus resteront donc au dépôt. Du  au , plus aucun trolleybus ne sera injecté en ligne.

Le  la télévision locale gantoise AVS demande à De Lijn la mise en circulation d'un trolleybus pour le tournage d'un reportage. Le trolleybus 7406 effectuera un service commercial complet. Le reportage d'AVS s'intitule « Le dernier trolleybus ». Et en effet, tout laisse à penser que le 7406 sera le dernier à avoir effectué un service commercial. Le  aura donc été le dernier jour d'exploitation des trolleybus à Gand.

Le , un voyage spécial d'adieu pour les amateurs a été organisé par le VEBOV, une association d'amateurs de transport en commun. Le dimanche  marque la fin officielle de l'exploitation de la ligne 3 avec des trolleybus. Depuis plusieurs mois, excepté quelques sorties sporadiques, plus aucun trolleybus n'a circulé dans les rues gantoises.

Le dimanche , une fête d'adieu est organisée. Pour cette occasion, le trolleybus 7408 est entièrement repeint dans sa livrée MIVG d'origine, et le trolleybus 7411 est entièrement repeint en livrée De Lijn.

Durant l'après-midi, les deux véhicules parcourent une dernière fois les rues de Gand en guise d'adieu. Selon la tradition, ils sont garnis d'une couronne mortuaire. Les deux trolleybus gantois seront tout au long de cette journée accompagnés par le trolleybus bruxellois 6023 préservé par le MTUB, le musée du tram de Bruxelles.

Durant cette dernière journée de circulation, deux conducteurs se sont relayés pour conduire ces deux véhicules. Il s'agit de Sonia Vande Velde et de Dominique Lust. Leurs sourires masquent difficilement leur tristesse de devoir eux aussi dire adieu à « leurs » trolleybus.

Vestiges et matériels préservés

Les anciens trolleybus gantois ne furent pas détruits. À la fin de l'exploitation, sur les 20 véhicules initiaux, le parc comportait encore 18 véhicules, les trolleybus 7404 et 7418 ayant été déjà déclassés. Sur les 18 trolleybus restants, 3 seront choisis pour être préservés. Le trolleybus 7408 est un véhicule statique « musée » préservé par l'association gantoise "ETG".  Le trolleybus 10 a lui aussi été préservé "en réserve froide". Le trolleybus 7411 a été préservé par un amateur liégeois. Ce trolley se trouve depuis  à Solingen qui possède un réseau de trolleys. Il s'agit du dernier véhicule de cette série encore en ordre de marche. On peut l'apercevoir occasionnellement sur le réseau de Solingen à l'occasion de voyages spéciaux pour les amateurs.

En , les trolleybus 08 et 11 circulèrent conjointement sur les installations gantoises à l'occasion d'une balade pour des amateurs.

Quinze autres véhicules ont été vendus à la société Gradski transport qui exploitait, jusque fin 2012, le réseau de transport en commun de la ville de Plovdiv en Bulgarie, et notamment son . En 2013, Gradsky Transport s'est vu retirer sa licence d'exploitation. Les anciens trolleybus gantois sont actuellement remisés dans un dépôt à la périphérie de Plovdiv. Des 12 trolleys capables initialement de rouler, seuls 3 étaient encore en ordre de marche au moment de leur retrait du service.

En , l'exploitant (De Lijn) a commencé à démonter l'ancienne ligne aérienne du trolleybus. Les sous-stations sont également démontées. Si les travaux avancent comme prévu, il ne restera plus aucun signe visible de cette ligne en 2015.

Matériel roulant

Les 20 véhicules du trolleybus de Gand étaient des Van Hool AG280T : ces véhicules mesurent 17,90 mètres de long, 2,49 mètres de large, peuvent atteindre une vitesse de 60 km/h en traction électrique. Ils peuvent transporter 138 passagers (46 assis, 92 debout). Ils sont propulsés par un moteur électrique de 177 kW. Ils sont également équipés d'un générateur de secours diesel de 57 kW délivrant une tension de 375 V (50 kW) au moteur de traction leur permettant alors d'atteindre les 40 km/h. Les trolleybus sont alimentés par une ligne aérienne en 600 volts (avec une tolérance de plus ou moins 20 %).

Les Van Hool AG280T ont coûté (au moins) 557 760,00 euros/pièce et furent livrés entre  et .

Widening of Highway 160 has been Accelerated to 2021
(July 17, 2017) According to staff of the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO), Highway 160 (Steele Creek Road) is now scheduled to be widened to four lanes with a grassy median, bike paths, and sidewalks beginning in 2021. The project covers nearly the entire length of Highway 160 through Steele Creek, from the South Carolina state line to I-485.
Widening Highway 160 has moved up quickly in the highway construction schedule since 2013 when it wasn't projected to be widened before 2035. In the initial draft of the 2018-2027 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) released in January 2017, the widening of Highway 160 south of Highway 49 was scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2022, but in the revised draft STIP released in June, construction was moved up one year. The widening of Highway 160 north of Highway 49 was included in the 2016-2025 STIP addopted in 2015 and also was scheduled to begin in 2022, but the beginning of construction for that portion also has been moved up one year.
Projected costs for the entire project include $10,800,000 for right of way acquisition and utility relocation in 2019 and $48,800,000 for construction in 2021 through 2024, for a total cost of $59,600,000. The schedule and estimated funding amounts are available on Page 10 of NCDOT's Revised DRAFT 2018-2027 STIP supplement for CRTPO.
The North Carolina Board of Transportation will adopt the 2018-2027 DRAFT STIP in August. The CRTPO will adopt its TIP in September. The TIP will be a subset of the 2018-2027 STIP just for the Charlotte planning area. See the full draft TIP list for CRTPO HERE.
The CRTPO is accepting comments to the local 2018-2027 DRAFT TIP through August 9. Interested persons may also provide comments in person at the July 19 CRTPO meeting (6:00 PM in Room 267 of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 E. Fourth St., Charlotte). See Agenda.
The widening Highway 160 south of Highway 49 is part of the draft TIP and must be formally adopted by NCDOT and CRTPO by September. The widening of Highway 160 north of Highway 49 was adopted in 2015 and thus its funding is already commited.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal."
The Homeless Bill of Rights (also Homeless Person's Bill of Rights and Acts of Living bill) refers to legislation protecting the civil and human rights of homeless people. These laws affirm that homeless people have equal rights to medical care, free speech, free movement, voting, opportunities for employment, and privacy. Legislation of this type has become law inRhode Island, Connecticut and Illinois and is under consideration by several other U.S. states.
Controversy over Legislation Affecting the Homeless[edit]Main article: Anti-homelessness legislation
The "Beds Not Bars" slogan suggests that society must help homeless people instead of outlawing their behavior.
Skid Row in Los Angeles is sometimes mentioned as an area that would deteriorate if homelessness was not regulated
At issue in homeless bills of rights are local codes that outlaw loitering, vagrancy, sitting or lying on the sidewalk, begging, eating in public, and other behaviors. These codes disproportionately affect homeless people.[1]
The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty concludes its report on the "criminalization of homelessness" with an exhortation to change the laws:[1]
Laws that criminalize visible homelessness are immoral and offend our basic human instincts. They are contrary to the fundamental religious and political principals from which the American people seek guidance, and their existence demonstrates that we have fallen vastly short of our religious and foundational aspirations.
Business interests, represented by the California Chamber of Commerce, have called Assemblymember Tom Ammiano's Homeless Person's Bill of Rights [2] a "job killer" which would create "costly and unreasonable mandates on employers."[3]Some municipalities and local politicians also oppose the laws, which impose state authority to overturn local regulations. San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener commented:[4]
Our local laws against forming encampments, passing out and blocking sidewalks, and otherwise monopolizing public spaces would be wiped off the books. Think we have a street behavior problem now? Just wait until this passes.
The Los Angeles Times suggested in an editorial that the Homeless Bill of Rights does not go far enough unless accompanied by economic resources allocated to provide housing.[5] Joel John Roberts, CEO of People Assisting the Homeless, argued similarly that the Homeless Bill of Rights may be toothless and even enabling. Roberts writes:[6]
There needs to be a balance between criminalizing homelessness with ordinances that persecute people who are forced to live on the street, and giving those same people the right to do whatever they want without any consequences.... A more powerful Bill of Rights for people who are homeless, however, would consist of one simple right: the right to housing.
Legislation in the United States[edit]The idea of a "Homeless Bill of Rights" has been discussed periodically in the U.S., and was presented formally by a group of New York City ministers on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, 1992.[7] City Councilperson Peter Vallone introduced several versions of such a Bill in 1998, despite strong opposition from Mayor Rudy Giuliani.[8]
Puerto Rico and some states have passed laws adding homeless people to their lists of groups protected against hate crimes.[9]
Rhode Island[edit]Rhode Island was the first state in the U.S. to pass a "Homeless Bill of Rights". John Joyce, who was homeless for a period in his life, is responsible for the initial introduction of the bill. The Rhode Island law, S-2052, was ratified in the state of Rhode Island on June 21, 2012 and signed into law by Governor Lincoln Chafee on June 27.[10] It amends the Rhode Island Fair Housing Act with wording intended to protect the rights of homeless people and prevent discrimination against them. It is the first U.S. state-level law designed to protect the rights of homeless people.
[show]Excerpt from Rhode Island bill S-2052
The well-established Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless (and a newer subgroup called Rhode Island Homeless Advocacy Project) collaborated with the more radical Occupy Providence group to lobby successfully for the Bill.[11][12]
The law does not guarantee positive rights such as housing or food, and some homeless advocates are concerned that it has not had enough impact.[13]
Connecticut[edit]On June 5, the Connecticut Assembly passed a Homeless Bill of Rights (SB 896) with seven protections similar to those passed in Rhode Island. Pending signature by Governor Dan Malloy, the bill would take effect on October 1, 2013. The Connecticut law significantly includes freedom from police harassment in its first section.[14]

Illinois[edit]On August 22, 2013 Illinois became the second state to adopt a homeless bill of rights. [15]
[show]Excerpt from Illinois bill SB 1210
California[edit]State Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) introduced a Homeless Person's Bill of Rights[2] to the California Assembly in December 2012.[16] In May 2013, the Appropriations Committee postponed debate until January 2014.[4] Assemblymember Ammiano said in a statement that his bill was suspended largely because of the costs of setting up new infrastructure and enforcing the new rules.[4] A report by the Chair of the Assembly Appropriations Committee estimates that setting up hygiene centers across the state would cost $216 million, with ongoing operating costs of $81 million annually.[2] The report also estimates that setting up facilities for annual law enforcement reports would cost $8.2 million, with ongoing operating costs of $4.1 million annually.[2] Without providing estimates, the report notes that other costs, some potentially significant, include those associated with the right to counsel conferred to the homeless for defending against infractions, and those associated with defending against lawsuits brought against cities by the homeless alleging violations of rights conveyed under the bill.

H.O.M.E. of Daytona Beach's Drafted Bill of Rights
HOMELESS PERSON'S BILL OF RIGHTS AND FAIRNESS ORDINANCE
This Ordinance would enact the Homeless Person's Bill of Rights and Fairness, which would
provide that no person's rights, privileges, or access to public services may be denied or abridged due
to the fact that he or she is experiencing homelessness.
A person experiencing homelessness has the same rights and privileges as any other person resident
including, but not limited to, the following:
1. The right to use and move freely in public spaces including, but not limited to, public sidewalks, parks,
and transportation;
2. The right to equal treatment by all county and municipal agencies, including all law enforcement
agencies, without discrimination on the basis of housing status;
3. The right not to face discrimination while seeking or maintaining employment due to his or her lack of
a permanent mailing address, or his or her mailing address being that of a homeless shelter or social

shelters and service providers to county, municipal, and private entities without appropriate legal
authority; the right to confidentiality of personal records and information in accordance with all limitations
on disclosure established by the Federal Homeless Management Information Systems, Federal Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and Federal Violence against Women Act.
A notice entitled "HOMELESS PERSON'S BILL OF RIGHTS" containing the text in Section 1 of this
Ordinance will be conspicuously posted in all public parks and on the notice boards of all municipal
buildings. The notice will also be required to be conspicuously posted in any business within the county
limits beside any sign and poster relating in anyway to homelessness including but not limited to
trespassing, loitering, or panhandling.
This Ordinance shall apply to county and municipal agencies and employees as well as private actors.
To ensure equitable and costeffective enforcement of the Homeless Person's Bill of Rights and
Fairness Ordinance every local law enforcement agency shall annually compile and review the number
of citations, arrests, and other enforcement activities made pursuant to laws prohibiting the following:
1. Obstructing a sidewalk, whether by a person or personal property;
2. Loitering;
3. Sitting;
4. Lying down;

In any civil action alleging a violation of this Ordinance, the court may award appropriate injunctive and
declaratory relief, actual damages, and reasonable attorney's fees and costs to a prevailing plaintiff.
For the purposes of this Ordinance, "homeless" means lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime
residence, or having a primary nighttime residence in a shelter, on the street, in a vehicle, in an
enclosure or structure that is not authorized or fit for human habitation, substandard apartments,
dwellings, doubled up temporarily with friends or families, staying in transitional housing programs,
staying anywhere without tenancy rights, or staying with one or more children of whom they are the
parent or legal guardian in a residential hotel whether or not they have tenancy rights.

Energétika je gospodarska panoga, ki obsega pridobivanje, trgovanje, prenos, dobavo in uporabo vsake energije, razen tiste, ki jo človek zajema in uporablja v obliki hrane zase ali za druga živa bitja. V energetiko prav tako ne štejemo bioenergije in drugih pojmov iz mejnih področjih znanosti, kot je denimo parapsihologija.

Energetika je tudi interdisciplinarno področje, ki obsega energijske vire, energijske tehnologije in uporabe energije v gospodarstvu. Poleg naravoslovnih in tehničnih vprašanj so v sodobni energetiki pomembna še družbena, gospodarska in okoljevarstvena vprašanja, povezana s tehnično uporabo energije.

Energetika zajema zlasti:

 industrijo fosilnih goriv, ki vključuje naftno industrijo (naftna podjetja, rafinerije nafte, transport goriva in prodajo končnim uporabnikom na bencinskih črpalkah), premogovništvo (črpanje in predelava) ter industrijo zemeljskega plina (pridobivanje zemeljskega plina in pridobivanje premogovnega plina ter distribucijo in prodajo);
 elektroenergetsko industrijo, vključno s proizvodnjo električne energije, distribucijo in prodajo električne energije;
 jedrsko energijo;
 industrijo obnovljivih virov energije, ki vključuje podjetja, osredotočena na alternativno energijo in trajnostno energijo, vključno s tistimi, ki se ukvarjajo s hidroelektrarnami, vetrno energijo in proizvodnjo sončne energije ter proizvodnjo, distribucijo in prodajo alternativnih goriv; in,
 tradicionalno energetsko industrijo (uporaba drv), katerih uporaba za kuhanje in ogrevanje je še posebej pogosta v revnejših državah.

Energetska politika ali energetska strategija je ena izmed materialnih politik države, podobno kot sta kmetijska in prometna politika. V nekaterih državah občasno sprejmejo skupni strateški dokument. V Sloveniji je z energetskim zakonom iz leta 1999 (EZ, večje spremembe v letu 2004) določeno, da Nacionalni energetski program kot dolgoročni strateški dokument pripravi vlada, sprejme pa državni zbor. Dejansko se energetska politika oblikuje z odločitvami različnih dejavnikov, tudi z odločitvami posameznikov.

V številnih jezikih, med drugim v angleščini, nimajo enotnega pojma za energetiko, zato glej za del obsega energetike ustrezne članke pri tudi Energija in razvoj.

Energetsko gospodarstvo

S pojmom energetsko gospodarstvo zajemamo pridobitne ali javno-storitvene dejavnosti (gospodarske javne službe) s področja energetike. Statistična klasifikacija dejavnosti upošteva (Standardna klasifikacija dejavnosti, SKD ):

 Rudarstvo
 CA-PRIDOBIVANJE ENERGETSKIH SUROVIN
 Predelovalne dejavnosti
 DF-PROIZVODNJA KOKSA, NAFTNIH DERIVATOV, JEDRSKEGA GORIVA
 Oskrbovalne dejavnosti
 E40-OSKRBA Z ELEKTRIČNO ENERGIJO, PLINOM, PARO IN TOPLO VODO
 Trgovina
 G50.5-Trgovina na drobno z motornimi gorivi
 G51.51-Trgovina na debelo s trdimi, tekočimi in plinastimi gorivi

Širše štejemo v energetiko tudi področja izdelave opreme za energetske procese, strokovne storitve in raziskave.

Uporaba energije je energetska dejavnost, upoštevamo pa predvsem tiste procese uporabe, pri katerih je delež energije v primerjavi z drugimi vložki razmeroma velik. Večine energetskih dejavnosti ne more opraviti posameznik, zato je energetika družbena dejavnost.

Delež energetike med vsemi dejavnostmi je v predindustrijskih družbah do 25 odstotkov, v klasičnih industrijskih družbah je (bil) od 10 do 20, v modernih, postindustrijskih družbah z večinoma dematerializirano proizvodnjo pa je celo manj kot 5 odstotkov, merjeno na primer z deležem vseh stroškov.

Q: replacing use of one def with other def in llvm IR I have following IR:
%2 = load i32* %b, align 4
store i32 %2, i32* %a, align 4
%3 = load i32* %a, align 4
store i32 %3, i32* %b, align 4

which is essentially
a=b; b=a;

Now, after copy propagation, i want something like:
a=b; b=b;

So, I do this:
i->setOperand(0,op1)  //op1 points to %b, i points to  [%3 = load i32* %a, align 4]
i->replaceUsesOfWith(op2,op1); //op2 points to %a

Doing this, I get into infinite loop for above IR. So I have a feeling that there is some problem with removing i from uses of op1 and adding i to uses of op2.
However, code runs fine for something like:
a=b; c=a;

after transformation I get: a=b; c=b;

A: ReplaceInstWithInst() does the job, problem was when op1 and op2 both points to same operand it keep replacing and goes into infinite loop. So, just had to add one check op1 != op2

Financial analysts estimate that GlaxoSmithKline could face up to $6 Billion in liability as a result of Avandia injury lawsuits.
UBS analyst Gbola Amusa issued the estimate in response to concerns caused by the release of a U.S. Senate Committee report in March 2010 about the problems with Avandia. Since then, the FDA has indicated that the agency is continuing to review the safety of the drug, which many have said should result in an Avandia recall.
Amusa indicates that since the drug only contributes about 1% to GSK's sales, the primary concern for the drugmaker stems from the liability it may face from more than 13,000 Avandia lawsuits that have been filed to date. The range of liability is currently estimated to fall between $1 billion and $6 billion, with the cost to the drugmaker possibly hitting the top end of the range if Avandia is removed from the market.
The suits allege that GSK failed to adequately warn users about the increased risk of serious and potentially life-threatening injuries, such as hear attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, liver failure, bone fractures, macular edema (vision loss), and death. Some experts have estimated that Avandia caused between 60,000 and 200,000 heart attacks and deaths due to cardiovascular problems in the U.S. from 1996 to 2006.

Why Wharton's EMBA Program is Worth Commuting to from Asia
"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether you fly six or 16 hours. You will grow with every challenge and figure out how to make it work, so make sure to pursue the best education possible and don't limit yourself because of geography."
With one of the longer commutes to Wharton, EMBA student Donatas Grabliauskas WG'19 traveled from Singapore to San Francisco in his first year and is now commuting to campus from Tokyo, Japan. Despite the long miles and airfare, he says it's all worth it to earn a Wharton MBA.
"I wanted to make sure that I would learn as much as possible in a rigorous program. I didn't want a watered-down MBA. Wharton's MBA Program for Executives offers the full MBA in an executive format," he explains, adding that he also wanted access to both coasts in the U.S. "Wharton's EMBA Program is very unique because you can get exposure to the innovation and technology worlds of Silicon Valley as well as the finance and consulting worlds on the East Coast."
In addition, Donatas, who works for Johnson & Johnson as marketing director, appreciates Wharton's connections to healthcare.
When Donatas began Wharton's EMBA program, he was commuting from Singapore, which meant a 15 to 17-hour flight each way. While his commuting time from Tokyo to San Francisco is shorter and more direct, it is still a 10-hour flight in each direction.
"The most challenging aspect of the commute is dealing with jet lag, but I've adapted by living in between the time zones. In Asia, I try to get up very early and go to bed earlier, so that when I'm in San Francisco there is less of a difference," he says.
The other challenge is the financial side, as Donatas is self-sponsored. He explains, "I look at this as an investment in my education, which always has the biggest return on investment. I believe that it is important to have a learning mindset to grow and progress."
He adds that the commute is also worth it for several other reasons:
Access to Professors
"I was surprised by the accessibility of the faculty. I've reached out to quite a few professors outside of class to discuss ideas and challenges I had at work. Not only were they willing to engage with me, I've been able to implement their feedback and research insights, directly benefiting my work. It's like having top experts as your sounding and consulting board.
"I'm impressed with my classmates' diverse experiences and expertise on both coasts. Whatever question I have — whether it's in finance, law, healthcare or technology — I have classmates who are experts in those areas. It is a powerful resource."
Senior Leaders
"Business leaders often come to campus to give talks and engage with students. I would never have that level of access to top leaders, especially outside my own industry, in my day-to-day job."
"It's been very valuable to deepen my quantitative and analytical skills as well as have access to the latest research on topics such as leadership. My classes are helping me to become a better leader and employee because my knowledge and skills are growing."
When Donatas talks to prospective students about his commute, he tells them, "At the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether you fly six or 16 hours. You will grow with every challenge and figure out how to make it work, so make sure to pursue the best education possible and don't limit yourself because of geography."

Hello, I'm Kristina. I've been practising massage since June 2013, when I decided to make my life-long passion a full time job and founded KMM Serenity Therapies after quitting my job as a Detective constable for the Met police.
I am a fully qualified and insured Aromatherapist, NLP/Hypnotherapist, massage therapist and a member of the CThA, BIH and CNHC associations for complementary therapists. I trained at the City Lit college, London School of massage, Richdales Institute and Salus Academy.
I now teach massage to professionals and non-professionals alike and run a membership scheme offering clients unlimitted advice on safe use of aromatherapy and how to make aromatherapy products at home and so much more, as well as working with clients improving their lifestyles through wellbeing couching and assisting them with healing traumas, addictions, depression and anxiety through Person Centred Integrative NLP/Hypnotherapy.
I firmly believe in the capacity of all living organisms to heal themselves as well as each other. I had always felt a calling to assist people in the process of healing.
Over the years I have studied and put into practise various methods of improving health and wellbeing such as yoga, mindfulness, meditation, energetic healing, nutrition and natural remedies. I love to share what I have learned with my clients to help with their particular issues.
NLP/Hypnotherapy - Through my experiences as a therapist and a client, I had learned that most of our physiological problems have a cause within our mind, our past traumas, present anxieties, our limiting beliefs and our current perception of our reality. NLP/hypnotherapy can help to heal and change all that and free you to live the life you want, as well as to equip you with skills and tools necessary to create and maintain healthy balanced lifestyle.
You can find me on KMM Serenity Therapies FB page and Instagram and Kristina Mendez Matejova YouTube channel that are linked to my business. But I also run A Path To Serenity FB page, which is slightly more personal and acts as a support page for my book Pieces available on Amazon, as well as covering my public speaking gigs. I've had already couple stories published in books called The art of resonant living and Chocolates and diamonds for woman's soul that can both be found on Amazon. I take part in various charity projects including starting up the SOS community that deals with domestic violence and organising a fund raiser for Refuge.org.
I still volunteer for the Met police as a Special Constable as well as helping out in my local stables.
In the spare time that I do have, I like to practice yoga, meditate, walk (especially in nature) and dance amongst other things.
I am now pregnant and running a blog about the pregnancy and beyond on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube as Bump into the unknown.

Death threats bring 7-year-old Afghan girl to US
By John Rogers
Damian Dovarganes, Associated Press
In this April 2, 2014, file photo, Afghan war victim Shah Bibi Tarakhail, left, takes a selfie with Ilaha Omar, a Children of War Foundation member, during a painting session at Galerie Michael in Beverly Hills, Calif. Seven-year-old Tarakhail whose love of painting won the hearts of U.S. doctors who fitted her with a prosthetic arm is returning to the United States after her newfound celebrity made her a subject of death threats in her homeland.
LOS ANGELES — A little Afghan girl whose love of painting won the hearts of U.S. doctors who fitted her with a prosthetic arm returned to the United States on Thursday, after the group that sponsored her first visit said it learned her newfound celebrity made her a subject of death threats at home.
Seven-year-old Shah Bibi Tarakhail arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday morning on the last leg of a journey from Kabul.
She has been granted a six-month visa, but Amel Najjar, executive director of the nonprofit Children of War Foundation, said her group is looking into permanent residency status for her, perhaps as a political refugee.
Najjar said all the attention has made her a target of insurgents in Afghanistan, who railed against her exposure to Western culture.
The father told the group that he and his daughter had been in hiding and separated from the rest of their family since her return to Afghanistan in April. Meanwhile, he said, the girl had grown so depressed that he had her hospitalized.
"Her father called us a week ago, said she'd been in a hospital near the Pakistani border and her life was in danger," Najjar said. "Her father said, 'I can't care for her anymore and it's at a point where she needs to be out of here sooner rather than later."
The little girl lost her right arm last year when she picked up a grenade following a firefight between U.S. and Taliban forces in her village near the Pakistan border. The explosion, which killed her brother, also destroyed her right eye.
After doctors at Shriners Hospital For Children fitted her with a prosthetic arm she quickly adapted to it and resumed painting, something she revealed was her favored pastime in Afghanistan.
Children of War arranged a lesson for her with prominent abstract expressionist Davyd Whaley, who praised her talent. After Galerie Michael in Beverly Hills showed her work around, she received an invitation to visit the Picasso Museum in Spain.
The foundation has found a host family that's agreed to take Shah Bibi in while the group works to keep her in the country permanently.
In the meantime, doctors at Shriners Hospital plan to fit her with a prosthetic eye and treat some of the scars she sustained when the grenade exploded.

magnetohydrodynamics
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a promising technology for electric bulk power generation. MHD is accomplished by forcing an electrically conducting fluid or a plasma through a channel with a magnetic field applied across it and electrodes placed at right angles to flow and field (Figure 1). An MHD plant can be directly fired with coal and there are no moving parts. To achieve extra high efficiencies, MHD is combined in a binary thermodynamic cycle with a conventional steam plant to add an extra 40 percent to the total power output and to boost the overall combined efficiency into the 60 percent range. The high temperature MHD process extracts part of the heat energy in the plasma at the high temperature end. The gas leaving the MHD generator, still at relatively high temperatures, is then used in a conventional bottoming steam plant.
A schematic coalfired MHD generator in Figure 2 is shown using a combustion plasma at up to 3,000 K, seeded with alkali salts for high conductivity, fed directly into the generator with a superconducting magnet providing up to 7 tesla. The combustion products, still at about 2,000 K, then pass through an air preheater, where the hot gas exhausted from the MHD generator preheats the air for the combustor leading to the high temperatures required to create the plasma.
To use lower gas temperatures (under 1,500 K), noble gases like argon and helium offer very high electrical conductivities. Recycling the noble gas leads to the "closed cycle" MHD process.
Nuclear reactors have been used for small generators providing the high temperature and pressure plasma to drive an MHD process, and a nuclear plant could offer a considerable reduction in pollution because of high overall efficiency without CO2 emission.
EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENTS
In the early part of the nineteenth century Michael Faraday (1832) conducted MHD experiments using the brackish water of the river Thames flowing through the Earth's magnetic field. The first successful power generation experiment, developed by Richard Rosa in 1959, generated 10 kW with a timber walled channel on the AVCO "Mark 1" facility in Boston, Massachusetts. This success and the possibility of cheap MHD power led in the 1960s to national programs in Britain, the Soviet Union, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland, Italy, India, Australia and Israel. In 1965 the AVCO "Mark 5" generator successfully generated 32 MW over a one minute run using alcohol at 45 kg/sec fired with oxygen. AVCO later developed a sophisticated coal fired MHD channel for a 2,000 hour test program and demonstrated technical feasibility under the most stringent conditions.
In 1972 in Moscow, a large experimental facility, the "U-25," used a 250 MW natural gas combustor and generated 20 MW. The Soviets have been using very successfully mobile, pulsed MHD generators throughout the Soviet Union, for seismic studies.
MHD programs in the United States are concentrated in two major facilities. A "Component Development and Integration Facility" is located in Butte, Montana, and a "Coal Fired Flow Facility" at the University of Tennessee to studies coal fired MHD, slag processing, seed handling and downstream systems.
A circular disk MHD generator geometry requires a lower cost circular ring magnet structure as shown in Figure 3. Work in the United States using shock tunnels with large discs proved the feasibility of very high enthalpy extraction. Continuous operation on a fossil fuel fired disk facility was demonstrated at the University of Sydney, Australia. The potential advantages offered by closed cycle disc systems was made evident in the 1980s and 1990s by the Japanese MHD research effort and by the Dutch team at the University of Eindhoven.
A great deal of work has been done in the United States, Russia, Israel, and France showing that low temperature operation is possible using liquid metal as the MHD driver. A liquid metal MHD-generator can be very much smaller because of the much higher conductivity of liquid metal.
POWER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Studies carried out in the United States, Russia, and Japan indicate that a combined cycle MHD-steam plant should be able to achieve an overall power station efficiency of at least 60 percent which is about 20 percent more than offered by a conventional steam plant. This should be possible at capital costs comparable with existing steam plants.
As shown in Figure 4, the operating temperature range for MHD is beyond that of any other generating technology. MHD could still add up to 15 percent at the top end of other combined cycles. MHD is potentially a natural choice for conversion of high temperature energy output from future nuclear power plants whether fission or fusion driven. A combined Nuclear-MHD system design with high efficiency does offer two advantages: (1) a reduction in thermal pollution and (2) no CO2 emission as with fossil fuel-driven plants.
MHD efforts in many countries, including the United States, have declined substantially, in Russia because of lack of funds and in general because the high costs envisioned in setting up a full-scale power station. If funds become available to set up full-scale power stations and with the advent of high temperature nuclear heat sources, the many advantages provided by MHD may be realised.

magnetohydrodynamics The science of relating magnetic fields, mainly mathematically, within a moving conducting medium. It is mainly applicable to the Earth's core, where the geomagnetic field is generated by the motion of magnetic lines of force that are 'frozen' within a moving, electrically conducting medium, but it is also applicable to all systems involving the fluid motion of electrically conducting materials within a magnetic field.

City considers expanded Downtown District, hears input on proposed security requirements

Inaugural playwright in residence brings new stories to Oxford
Oxford citizens lined the sides of the Board of Aldermen meeting room Tuesday night to voice concerns over the proposed Downtown Entertainment District ordinance and its regulations.
According to the ordinance, business within the Downtown District would operate under different laws and introduce a special set of requirements to create a district free from "drug sales, underage drinking, over consumption of alcohol, acts of violence and sex offenses."
The initially proposed Downtown District's boundaries were South 10th Street, Van Buren Avenue, The Lafayette County Courthouse and East Jackson Avenue. After hearing concerns at Tuesday's meeting, however, the board will consider expanding the boundaries of the district.

Attorney Dee Hobbs, who represents many bars in Oxford such as Proud Larry's, The Lyric Oxford, Round Table, Funky's and The Levee, said the district should be expanded at least to the encompass the entire Square and possibly the whole city.

"For businesses not in this district, it's going to be a huge competitive advantage," he said. "[Businesses in the district] are going to have to increase costs… It's going to result in people just saying I'm not going there."
Local business owners referenced some additional costs of the proposed ordinance, such as camera installation and the proposed $75 fee for each event permit.
Bradley Bishop, owner of The Lyric Oxford, published a letter this week calling attention to the section of the ordinance which would require venues within the Downtown District to acquire a permit from the City of Oxford before hosting any scheduled events.
"The permit is a license to profile an artist and their fans based on one's criminal record and "likelihood" of a crime occurring in the future," Bishop wrote.
He wrote that if the ordinance is approved, the Lyric would be the "only business in the State required to seek a permit for an artist to perform."

Tuesday night, the board stood by its decision to include the event permit requirement. After discussion however, board members agreed to remove the original language granting the Oxford Police Department the ability to deny event permits.
Other proposed regulations for businesses within the Downtown District include placing age verification scanners at the entrance of bars to prevent underage people from entering, and requiring bars and businesses to have a minimum of one security worker per every 50 customers.
"This means you will have a security guard(s) watching you eat lunch, celebrate a wedding, or attend a reading at The Lyric," Bishop wrote in his letter. "Such a policy robs a business owner of the discretion a business has to staff its own security based on the parameters of specific events."
The proposals that proved to be of biggest concern were the age verification scanners, the ordinance as a whole being costly towards the businesses, and the proposed Downtown District parameters.
Some local business owners argued that age verification scanners are costly and may be worthless due to the accessibility of fake IDs that will be able to pass the scanners.
Hudson Chadwick, owner of Rafter's Music and Food and The Annex, agreed that underage drinking is a problem in Oxford but doubted the ordinance as an effective solution. He said Alcohol Beverage Control agents recently entered his bar and wrote several tickets for minors in possession.
"I spoke with ABC about this, asking them what could we have done better. They kind of looked at me and said every one of those [fake IDs] are top notch," Chadwick said. "They're kind of looking at you saying we really don't have a solution because the kids are being able to purchase their way through this problem."
He said the scanners may give an increased feeling of security, but that ABC officers actually advised him that a well-trained bouncer is a more effective deterrent to underage drinking.
When Chadwick was asked Tuesday if he thinks that everyone with a fake ID will then upgrade to some that will scan, there was a group of people that shouted yes.
"If we can deter it – great, but it's not going to deter it a lot," Paul Radigan, manager of The Library said. "They're going to figure out a way to get these IDs."
Mayor Tannehill emphasized that the problems the ordinance seeks to resolve have occurred for a long time and have to be dealt with soon.
In the letter sent out by The Lyric, the business claimed the ordinance is in response to the shooting that occurred on April 27 at The Lyric. Mayor Tannehill denied those implications.
"This isn't a response to just one incident. This is a conversation that has been going on for years," Tannehill said. "Doing nothing is a choice… I think for quite a while we have watched a ticking time bomb… doing nothing isn't an option anymore."

She said she plans on scheduling future meetings with bar and restaurant owners and hosting open meetings with the citizens of Oxford, possibly even outside of public hearings, to hear more public input on the ordinance.
"We want this to be the best document, the best ordinance that we can have for all of us," Tannehill said. "We want to provide a safe environment for people to go out and eat and enjoy themselves."

There are lots of people who are using different kinds of social media for different purposes such as to get connected with the world, become updated of what the latest is and also to look for their potential partners. It is good to know that it is now made easier to know different people for there are lots of dating websites that you can find in the internet. For you to attract different people to get interested with you, your profile should be good enough to catch their attention.
1.	Identify your personality and create a proper message. Profile pertains to collection of a person's characteristics that every people look in order to gauge their personalities. Most of the time, people tend to know the parson better through their photos and updates that is why it is needed that you should yourself while dealing with other people in the social media.
2.	Choose an appropriate profile picture. In order to catch the attention of people who are also using social media, it is very important that your profile picture should be attractive in a way that you be remained respected by them. It is needed that the profile photo should be the real you and express the kind of person you are.
3.	Show what you want to. It is needed that you should not only say something instead you show it off. You do not have to tell your characteristics to get attractive; instead you should show it on your posts or updates.
4.	Set the privacy settings correctly. It is very important to remain private although you are using social media accounts. In order to achieve that, it is needed that the privacy settings should be set properly and correctly because this is a way to keep the confidential information about you. You can also limit the information that you will put in the account for security purposes.
5.	Delete the wall posts and block the applications that are not needed. We cannot deny that there are lots of spams that may appear in the wall. People tend to post different applications on your wall that can affect the way the people would look at you. In order to avoid these, you can delete the wall pots and block those applications that are not necessary. This is one way of making your profile presentable to make even more attractive.
There are different ways to make your profile become even more attractive and it is up to you to choose from those. It is very important that profile should be presentable because this will also reflect the kinds of persons are we. Good profile is one way to attract more friends which will give us the chance to socialize with them through the use of our social media accounts. Although it is considered that people who have social media accounts are not private people, there are also ways on how to keep private through the limited information that will be put in the accounts.

EthReddit
Reddit on the Ethereum Blockchain. It's got the features we all love, running on a secure and trustless platform.
Workspace during EthReddit's creation
A timeless classic.
Comment Example
In 2016, Steve Huffman, the CEO of Reddit, confessed to modifying the Reddit comments of one of the site's users from r/The_Donald. This incident illustrated the potential issues that came with centralization, particularly on an idea-sharing site such as Reddit. Fortunately, blockchain offers the solution. By being decentralized and transparent, it ensures that no single entity can secretly change the site's records.
EthReddit replicates Reddit's most fundamental features with its entire backend running on the Ethereum blockchain. Users do not have to register and can make posts, vote on posts, and comment on posts of other users. The app offers a browser front-end that allows it to be used like a normal website.
How I built it
The blockchain backend of the app was built using the Solidity language and Truffle framework, which helped me make and test the smart contract used for the project. Front-end was done using ReactJS and the Web3 API, which allowed JS code running in the browser to communicate with the blockchain.
Challenges I ran into
Web3 was a huge hassle to set up properly, since its workings are mysterious and things tend to go wrong. I also initially planned to use MetaMask, a browser extension that makes using Web3 easier. A mysterious bug, however, caused long delays and eventually led to the abandonment of MetaMask.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The fact the the initially planned iteration of the app was finished in its entirety marks a great achievement. The frameworks involved in the process are by no means simple, and the fact that the finished product is actually functional is pretty amazing.
I figured out what can go wrong when attempting to connect JS code to Ethereum. The building of a React frontend from the ground up was also instructive, since I've never done such a thing in the past. Now I know how it feels to build an Ethereum based app.
What's next for Ethreddit
The most immediately needed features are probably the ability to vote on comments and have nested comments. Uploading pictures is important but restricted by the limitations of the platform. There's also the change of an ICO if we really get lucky.

Cherry leaf spot, or shot hole, caused by the fungus Coccomyces hiemalis, reduces flowering and weakens the tree. Cherry leaf spot often defoliates the tree by midsummer. Repeated defoliation makes the tree more susceptible to winter injury and may eventually kill it.
Symptoms: Leaves show small purple to brown spots with definite boundaries in early summer. The leaves turn yellow and fall. In July, the centers of the infected spots frequently fall out, giving a shot-hole appearance.
Cause: The fungus overwinters on fallen leaves. In spring following wet weather, spores form and winds blow them to infect leaves. When temperatures are favorable (60 to 75 degrees F), infection requires a wet period of only a few hours. Leaves are susceptible when fully unfolded -- this usually occurs near petal fall. The initial leaf infections form spots, and more spores are produced in the spots. These spores are rain splashed to infect other leaves. Secondary spread and infection by spores continues repeatedly, whenever wet warm weather occurs, until leaves fall in autumn.
Control: Rake and burn fallen leaves before spring. Fungicides should be used if plants are prematurely defoliated. Time spray applications beginning at petal fall; continue every 14 days if rain is predicted during the period. If initial infection is controlled, subsequent spray applications are unwarranted.

(light piano music)
It is homophobic.
Slurs being thrown around in the hallway.
I must say, when I first came here,
I felt like there was a lot
of moments that I would be at home
and, Oh, that's so gay!
And that's one comment
that grinds my gears.
And so, I, personally,
would challenge our students
and say Hey, you know what's gay? I am.
And then they always look at me
like I just said
the worst thing in the world.
So I was a lesbian,
and so brutal was the violence
against LGBT people.
So resolute was
in Jamaica.
That I don't think it dawned on me
that I was gay
until I was about maybe, I think maybe 17 or 18.
And then I didn't quite say it out loud
until I was about 20.
Even though it might have a grain of truth
it does frustrate me when people
equate religion to homophobia.
I'm a very deeply religious person
and the idea that people just write it off
and they're like, It's all homophobia, anyway.
Read the text.
Get to know the text.
Understand the time people were living in.
Understand the context of which they were speaking.
And then maybe you can judge a little better,
instead of just writing it all off as just like,
Well it's all just homophobic.
My mother said something to me,
which is actually at the core of all of my plays.
And she meant it in the most
earnest and loving of ways.
There are millions of people in this world
who don't even know you and want you dead.
And I just took that like, Wow.
And so those words from my mom
has always carried me.
And it reminded me
that I have to survive.
That I have to exist.
It's interesting because, in some ways,
it's easy to draw a narrative that says,
Okay, because I was in the Muslim community,
I had to silence this queer side of me.
But, when you have public pressure,
especially community that's under a lot of threat
and is feeling watched all the time,
there is more and more pressure, internally,
to sort of conform,
or to pick your battles.
It's sort of like, Well, we can't fight this right now,
because we have all this other stuff to worry about.
We have surveillance to worry about.
We have war to worry about.
I think we are sort of inherently afraid
of things that don't look like us.
And that's where homophobia stems from.
I always used those opportunities to teach them.
Ally, for me, is that person
who understands the privilege
that they may have in spaces
to actually step in.
Be the person who says, Excuse me,
that's actually not okay.
By interrupt that moment
and voice why that's wrong,
and what's the damage that is being done.
Find your community.
I know that's such a privileged thing to say,
cuz a lot of trans-kids aren't able to come out
and that's so hard,
but there are people out in the world
who want to accept you.
I had this one teacher who,
I think it was this week or last week,
for the first time ever,
he included a transgender athlete in the lesson.
The lesson was focused on that transgender athlete.
But if you say nothing,
you're producing that same oppressive moment.
But yes, the alternative is not to call the cops,
because cops are going to put us behind jails.
The alternative is, How do we really
have this conversation,
real conversations with our community members,
as to why we need to be in this together.
It's for someone to step in and say,
Wait, how can I support this person?
It's not being silent when these things are happening.
If you can find your community,
hold onto those communities,
and become a community
for somebody else.
One, it'll spark conversation.
Two, it'll normalize the fact that
there are gay people in this classroom.
There are lesbian people in this classroom.
We tend to internalize other people's behaviors.
And a lot of the work around homophobia
revolves around parsing-out what's their crap,
and what can you work on, essentially.
(music fades)
