I have been a member of DonorsChoose since 2016, which is not that long, but it has been truly amazing. As an educator, it is great to take an idea that you want to implement in the classroom or in your school and make it come to life. What a great feeling when you get that email, fax, and eventually that package of materials. Even the students' faces light up like it is Christmas. Just imagine, you can make Christmas happen at any time! This Blog Is Why the #kindnessripple has me even more inspired to be a part of DonorsChoose.
So far, I have completed 8 projects using this online crowdfunding company. In addition to creating/completing my own projects, I enjoy inspiring or offering advice to other teachers to help them get going with making their classroom dreams come true. Watching another class experience the awesomeness of receiving that special package or packages is just as magical as opening them yourself. One of my most memorable experiences with DC, was getting a project funded that covered the costs of a field trip for each student in my grade level. This was the highest amount that I had proposed for a project and my team put in a lot of work to get as many donations as possible. Nearing the final hour, I had to break the news to them that I didn't think we were going to make it. BUT, before our deadline arrived, I received a message from the Caring Classrooms community. This is a successful giving community that guarantees funding for DC projects promoted on their page. As my birthday gift (thank goodness for birthdays), our project was going on their page. That is a moment that I will never forget. I loved the feeling of watching the messages from other educators across the country as they helped us reach our goal.
Inspiration. That is another exceptional component of the DonorsChoose movement. You become inspired to not only create dreams for YOUR students, but to support the dreams of OTHER classrooms. I don't get the chance to donate to other projects as much as I would like to, but it is a great feeling when I get to bless someone else. Well, now that brings me to the reason for me sitting down to write this blog post. I received an email from DonorsChoose that I would be getting my very FIRST thank you package. I have mailed a few, but this one was just for me. I watched the mailbox for days (which I never do, just ask the mister)! When that envelope finally arrived, I was ecstatic. I will cherish these cards. Not too long after, I got that same feeling when @Ripple funded every single project on the DonorsChoose website. I didn't even have a project up, but I was so pumped that I couldn't sleep that night just thinking about all of the classrooms that would be effected by such a wonderful gesture.


Chautauqua: You can hardly be a true Boulderite without regular visits to Chautauqua Park, which is one of the three remaining Chautauquas in America. The Auditorium and 60 original cottages border open space and the Flatirons. These popular hiking trails will take you to the foot of the Flatirons or through fields of wild flowers. The Royal Arch trail will even lead you to a 30 foot arch that overlooks Boulder. On summery afternoons, the central lawn is populated with people reading, chatting, picnicking with their families and playing Frisbee with their dogs.
North Boulder: Characterized by the Ideal Marketplace and its accompanying uniquely Boulder shops, North Boulder CO homes are in a truly family-oriented area that is demarcated from the student feel of University Hill.
Viele Lake: This man-made dam has become one of Boulder's favorite secrets and one of the best parks in Boulder to visit. A one-mile trail circles the lake and is popular with walkers and runners.
East Boulder Rec Center: This hub for Boulder fitness-seekers offers far more than the ordinary health club. The Rec Center routinely offers free climbing classes on its extensive indoor climbing walls. Other facilities include 8-lane pool, leisure pool, dance studio, aerobics classes, outdoor volleyball, indoor racquetball and tennis courts and Jacuzzi and steam rooms. Whether your kids have their birthday parties here or you lift weights on your free time, East Boulder Rec offers services that will seamlessly fit into your lifestyle.
Mount Sanitas: These Boulder trails offer spectacular views of Indian Peaks, the Flatirons and Boulder itself. Various loops offer choices for the ambitious hikers and runners as well as families who are just there for a quick jaunt. This is where sandstone was originally quarried to build the University of Colorado campus. Today, impressive sandstone arches and ponderosas still line the trail.
Boulder Reservoir: Famous for the Boulder Kinetics Race every May, the Reservoir's atypical sandy beaches are sure to attract Boulderites on balmy summer days. A local Boulder radio station, KBCO puts on the Kinetics Race, which features live bands, food and a contest to see which water-borne vehicles (usually resembling parade floats) will sink and which will cross the Reservoir to victory. The reservoir isn't just attractive in the summer (although it does offer swim beaches and boat rentals in the summer months) fishing and picnic areas stay open year round.
Rocky Mountain National Park: Accessible through Estes Park (less than 40 miles from Boulder), this park is an ideal summer camping destination for those who own Boulder CO homes. Over 350 miles of trails ensure that even the most avid hikers won't get bored. Hundreds of campsites and 60 peaks that top 12,000 feet provide endless opportunities to spot the diverse wildlife and the Colorado mountain views.
Pearl Street Mall: Pearl Street Mall is located near many Boulder CO homes, and is the Rodeo Drive of Boulder, without the convertibles. Upscale shops, art galleries and famous Boulder restaurants line this pedestrian-only street. People stroll along licking ice cream cones or stopping to watch talented street performers. The "Zip Code Man" has every zip code in America memorized. Another performer can fit himself into a small, glass box. The entertainment is endless. Live music fills the air on summer evenings, and it isn't unusual to see people dancing in the street or children cooling off in the water fountains. Pearl and the surrounding streets are also the major hub of Boulder's nightlife with various pubs, bars and dance clubs.
Pleasant View Soccer Fields: One of the premier soccer and rugby facilities in the country, Pleasant view has been the host to numerous national tournaments including the Junior National Championships for Rugby. It is also a wonderful place to watch CU's very talented women's soccer team take on the competition in the Big 12.

St. Croix County Board will continue to include alternating evening and morning meetings, despite an effort to change that arrangement.
The board currently meets at 9 a.m. from November to February and at 5 p.m. between March and October. A bylaw proposal at the board's April 2 meeting sought to change the morning meetings to an hour earlier.
Before voting on the bylaw update, Supervisor Roy Sjoberg proposed moving all County Board meetings to 5 p.m. He said the morning meeting times can be a struggle for some board members who work during the day.
"I think it's a hardship," said Sjoberg, a District 5 supervisor from Hudson.
But Judy Achterhof, District 17 supervisor from Emerald, contended the evening treks during winter months could be a barrier for board members traveling from the county's east side to the Government Center in Hudson. She added that a standing 5 p.m. meeting arrangement wouldn't be fair to board members who work second-shift jobs.
Supervisor Andy Brinkman asked if county staff had a preference. County Administrator Pat Thompson said that while staff would prefer day meetings, employees would abide any decision by the board.
"The staff will be here whenever the board meets," he said.
The board ultimately approved a change that moves the morning meetings from 9 a.m. to 8 a.m.
The bylaw change also ended the practice of having the County Board chairperson read written remarks offered during the public comment period.
Corporation Counsel Attorney Scott Cox explained the change was proposed amid concerns that reading comments critical of the board could put the chairperson in an "uncomfortable" position. The proposed change doesn't limit citizens' ability to email board members.
But District 12 Supervisor Dan Hansen said the proposed change would curtail options for people struggling with anxiety disorders or physical limitations who want their input read aloud.
Cox noted that it doesn't prevent the writer to have someone else attend the meeting and read the letter aloud on the writer's behalf.
Hansen's effort to keep the current policy — allowing the chair to read comments — failed 4-13.

Expert Says – E Coli Strain Bio-Engineered To Cause Human Fatalities
Wed 10:59 am +00:00, 8 Jun 2011 7
How does the bacterium develop immunity to eight different classes of drug – like penicillin, tetracycline etc? This cannot happen by chance. This immunity could only be created by deliberate treatment, carefully selecting surviving bacterium samples, and building the immunity step by step, drug by drug, until its lethality cannot be halted by traditional medical techniques.
In short this is a murder weapon being used by our own governments to kill us, as part of the depopulation programme, which already has many facets, such as spermicidal GM corn, and miscarriage-inducing vaccinations. Here governments are waging war against health foods by terrifying people into buying corporate mass produced branded foods, and away from fresh organic produce.
Hear the expert's words here as he explains or read them below. He's called Mike Adams from naturalnews.com
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1131.html
naturalnews.com article
(NaturalNews) Even as hospitals in Germany are now filling up with people sickened by a super-powerful drug-resistant "superbug" strain of e.coli that looks like it was bioengineered (http://www.naturalnews.com/032622_e…), European health authorities are leaping at the opportunity to spread fear about organic foods while ignoring the obvious true cause of the contamination in the first place — the widespread abuse of antibiotics in animal farming operations.
The e.coli blame game has become a circus of musical chairs. First, they blamedthe Spaniardsas a form of retaliation for Spain's resistance to accepting GMOs (http://www.naturalnews.com/030828_G…). This act droveSpanishfarmers into bankruptcy through a savagecampaignof rumor-mongering. After ravaging the Spanish vegetablefarmers, they began to randomly instill widespread fear about a variety ofvegetables: First it was cucumbers, then lettuce and then finallytomatoes. And now, the blame has come full circle and is now being cast uponorganicsprout growersinGermany!
This has all been nothing more than despicable rumor-mongering that has now reached the point ofeconomicwarfareagainst vegetable farmers. And now it turns out even the latest round of blame cast uponsproutswas completely fraudulent:Newtestsreveal that the organic sprouts are NOT contaminated withe.coli.
TheWall Street Journalis now reporting:
"The Lower-Saxony state agriculture ministry said 23 of 40 samples from the sprout farm suspected of being behind theoutbreakhave tested negative for the highly aggressive, "super-toxic" strain of E. coli bacteria… In a surprising U-turn, German officials said initial tests published Monday provided noevidencethat sprouts from an organic farm in northern Germany were the cause of the country's deadly Escherichia coli outbreak."(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100…)
Huh? Weren't these sprouts being blamed as thesourceof the outbreak up until yesterday?

E coli is a bacterium NOT a virus. It might seem like splitting hairs but there is a significant difference between the two. You need to check your information and keep it accurate and credible, otherwise you are opening yourself up to being ridiculed / dismissed by TPTB and the general public. Keep spreading the word 🙂
Tapestry says:
Yes. Thanks. Of course. My internet connection arrives today so I won't be working standing on one leg in cafes and street corners any longer.
I don't see much ridicule. I wish I did. The attempt to manipulate markets and populations is no joke, as far as anyone can see. Government and corporations have become so powerful that they see themselves as untouchable. They see killing in the name of commerce on the one hand, and control on the other, as entirely normal and justifiable behavior.
They think that if they were not the ones doing it, someone else would be. You can justify literally anything that way. The recipients of the killing and maiming, of course, don't see it in quite the same terms.
"How does the bacterium develop immunity to eight different classes of drug – like penicillin, tetracycline etc? This cannot happen by chance."
It's called evolution.
8 Jun 2011 7:21 pm
Evolution can be assisted here and there, as with GM Foods, and in making strains of bacteria less susceptible to anti-biotics.
In Reply to Anonymous from Gillian by email,
I don't think Tapestry referred to E Coli as a virus. But I seem to recall that I did, the other day. Mistakenly.
Anonymous I completely disagree with your opinion that the strain of bacterium has been changed due to
"evolution" Living things do change over quite long periods of time. But, this change to the E Coli bacterium
has happened much too quickly for there to be anything natural about it, imho.
As I suggested the other day, this has been deliberately engineered in a lab. somewhere. I was pleased to see
the recent comment by Derek who thinks likewise I believe.
Tap, the fact that these evil people are out to depopulate has been fairly well established. But to cause innocent
people to die in such painful, distressing circumstances is beyond evil.

It is one thing to be suspicious of a 'new' superbug's origins, it is quite another to 'know' the origins. The difficulty that the lay person has, is in finding out who 'knows'. The Brass Check TV presentation is flawed, inasmuch as the presenter admits himself he does not 'know' the details. The links to Mike Adams website seem to make more credible sense, but he is a 'journalist', I see no references to him being any kind of Doctor or scientist. He himself has come under some swingeing criticism from elsewhere:
http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/mike-adams-takes-on-skeptics/
But in that critical 'essay' the author launches into such a personal and almost demented attack, it itself is also suspicious, as the author promotes flouride as 'safe', as they do vaccines in general.
While currently scientists are seeking the origins of this particular strain of E-coli, I doubt we are going to get any real genuine and honest information from official sources, such is the distrust that has built up from their previous track records.
So here we are with no proof one way or another, and unlikely to get any. That leaves us with 'suspicion' as the front runner, and likely to remain so. Along with many (not all) natural substances and homoeopathy receiving a bludgeoning from EU directives, the BMA, and governments in general, the big pharmaceutical companies are smoothing their road ahead. How suspicious is that!
"Trust me, I'm from the government"
"Over my dead body!"
"That we can also do".
No scientist or doctor would dare open up publicly alleging deliberate creation of a killer E coli bacterium. They'd lose job, pension and social connections in a day. The only sources you will find available will be from the unofficial media, Derek.

February 5, 2019 February 5, 2019 Vaibhavi.
This year is all about being productive in our own ways. Whatever we do, we should come up with results. That's when we can say we did something productive. You already went through what things we can do.
In this blog post, I'll share 3 things that breaks our productive.
You're one of a gem – don't ever forget that. Comparing yourself with someone will just boost your insecurities and nothing else.
It's always better to be the best version of yourself. That's so much easy and way more better than comparing yourself and changing too. Change is good but not when you try to copy somebody.
If you compare yourself to someone you will always feel the urge to be something different that you're not. Unfortunately after a point you'll no more be yourself and that's when everything around will change. You will notice that you cannot do things as easily as the other person does because what's easy for them might be tough for you and vise versa. You will think that you aren't capable enough. But in this race, you actually forget that sky is the limit.
Sooner or later you'll realize that you don't like this version of you. You start loosing your real self.
Always stay away from negative people. Why? Because they have problem to every solution.
These are generally the ones who would even criticize about a real diamond and question it. Whatever they get their hands on, they'll find something or the other ways to prove it isn't good for them.
Same happens at work place whatever environment they are in, they won't survive. And not only they'll leave but also critcise about how being there was so difficult for them.
It is always better to accept things that come to your way wholeheartedly. Unless and until you loose something, you'll not love everything around you.
One thing we all must do is to stop complaining. We should always be grateful for whatever we have or have had in our life. Simply complaining about things will not make any difference or bring you joy. But you'll soon turn into a person who complains about anything and everything.
One must give honest reviews for sure but not complain. Circumstances will never change if you just focus on bringing out the bad in people/things-but will make you a kind of person that nobody might not like. It is always better to accept things and work towards your goals.
Previous postThings I'm Grateful For From January.
I wish I could do that for real.. But it's tough.. Walking on the thin rope of life.. The balance is tough..

So we're a rock'n'soul band currently between Los Angeles and Johannesburg. What's that mean? So our singer and guitarist are slugging it out in Los Angeles while our drummer and bassist are trying to survive in Johannesburg. It's all a bit messed up. But we're trying to make it work.
So what do we do as a band now that we're literally half way across the world?
Well, we release music through Youtube and Spotify etc. We have an album in the works so we're busy releasing singles off it. And to keep some content flowing Hana and Rich are also doing covers on Youtube.
In the non-cyber/ real world (which begs the question - is the real world the real world anymore? It seems the online space is sadly more real these days) Hana and Rich are also playing bars and clubs in LA. Maybe if we make some impact Adrian and Taryn will join us for some gigs.
Our musical style varies. Some hard rock tracks. Some more funky/fun tracks. Some ballads. It all depends on how we feel. Check it out, you might find something you like. And if you do like, please give us a follow/like (or any other form of what is essentially the online currency for artists. Sadly the value of art has been degraded to the click of a 'like' button and less than 5 seconds of appreciation). Do it. Make us look good.
But most important of all - give our music a listen.

Blackstar Amplification Announces HT-5TH Anniversary Amp
By Guitar World Staff 2012-03-26T16:59:30Z
Blackstar Amplification is celebrating its five-year anniversary by expanding its popular HT-5 line of tube amplifiers with a very limited-edition anniversary model, the HT-5TH.
The new 2x10 combo amp features custom cosmetics including cream covering, paired with custom colored grille cloth. The chassis top panel is marked as an HT-5 Anniversary Edition, and the 5th Anniversary logo is featured on the back. Only 2,500 units will be available worldwide.
Like other models in the HT-5 lineup, the HT-5TH offers real tube sound in a compact format. While the preamp uses a traditional 12AX7 tube, the power section uses the dual-triode 12BH7 tube wired in a push-pull circuit. This configuration produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100 Watt amp, delivering a sound rich in tube harmonics and compression even at the lowest volume levels.
The two-channel HT-5TH offers Clean and Overdrive channels (a channel-switching footswitch is included). Blackstar's unique Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) works with the three-band EQ to provide infinite tone-shaping control that can create U.K. and U.S.A. flavors of sound-and anywhere in between-so players can easily dial in 'the sound in their head'.
The speaker emulated line output provides a convenient way to record or to connect to a larger sound system. Using the emulated line output will not cancel the internal or external speaker sound, allowing the HT-5TH to serve as a monitor source. This same output can be used with headphones for private practice. The Series Effects Loop is equipped with a level switch to match the signal of nearly any external effect processor. A line input is also included, allowing the player to jam-along with a CD, MP3, etc.
To round out the package, the HT-5TH comes equipped with two 10" Celestion speakers.
The Blackstar HT-5TH five Watt, 2x10 all-tube combo amp will be available mid-Summer, 2012, with a U.S. street price of $549.99

Q: Creating custom pop up keyboard nothing happen when keys are press What I want to happen is that when a textbox is clicked a pop up keyboard will show and whatever i type on the keyboard will be putt in the textbox, but nothing happen but when I use notepad, it works. How can I fix this?
Here is my main form code:
    private void textBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
        frm1.ShowDialog();
    }

And here is my code for pop up keyboard
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    const int WS_EX_NOACTIVATE = 0x08000000;
//this line of code fixed the issue
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetDesktopWindow")]
        public static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override CreateParams CreateParams
    {
        get
        {
            CreateParams param = base.CreateParams;
            param.ExStyle |= WS_EX_NOACTIVATE;

//This line of code fix the issues
param.Style = 0x40000000 | 0x4000000;
                param.Parent = GetDesktopWindow();

            return param;
        }
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SendKeys.Send("1");
    }

    private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SendKeys.Send("2");
    }

    private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SendKeys.Send("3");
    }

    private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

A: Use form1.Show() ... not ShowDialog()

A: If you manually added the testbox make sure you hook into the MouseEventHandler like so:
this.textBox1.MouseClick += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.textBox1_MouseClick);
when your form loads.

A: I fixed the issue by just adding this line of code
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetDesktopWindow")]
    public static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();

And
                param.Style = 0x40000000 | 0x4000000;
            param.Parent = GetDesktopWindow();

With an expanded space, and an increased number of seats, the new Customer Lounge can hold a bigger number of clients in a more comfortable venue. Long queues will also be lessened as new windows for transactions were added, while customers wait within a well-lit, air-conditioned lounge area, complete with TV monitors for entertainment.
Customer Service Assistant Manager Ma. Isabel Ybañez shares the reason behind this upgrade saying, "We renovated with the idea of really making the clients comfortable." Customer satisfaction is clearly one of the company's shared goals.
DMCI Homes is continuously innovating to provide improvements on after-sales service. A new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System is also being developed to make on-the-counter transactions much faster – a real testament to keeping with the company's values.
The newly-renovated Customer Lounge was opened and blessed by Fr. Edison Escario on March 6, 2015.


Statement from Federal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie regarding the announcement by the Australian Livestock Exporters' Council (ALEC) of a three-month moratorium on sheep shipments to the Middle East during the Northern Hemisphere summer.
"I welcome today's announcement by ALEC of a three-month moratorium on sheep shipments to the Middle East during the Northern Hemisphere summer.
"The moratorium, to take effect from 1 June 2019, will mean no shipments of Australian sheep will depart any Australian port for the Middle East during the northern summer when we know these animals face the greatest physical stress.
"This moratorium is the first in a series of necessary steps to phase out an unsustainable industry.
"But it is just a first step and we cannot stop there.
"I call on the Government to allow a free vote on my Private Member's Bill, the Live Sheep Long Haul Export Prohibition Bill 2018 (No. 2), which was introduced this week.
"My Bill is a hard-fought, reasoned compromise to phase out this declining industry over five years.
"Allowing a free vote would give the Government the opportunity to act on an issue which has galvanised the Australian people to a degree that cannot be ignored and will give all MPs the freedom to vote according to their convictions and represent the views of their communities.
"This afternoon I received a letter from ALEC advising me that they were committed to a reform process and that the cruelty exposed in the media was not representative of their industry.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says Democrats can sink Kavanaugh by showing how his appointment will lead to a court majority that "repeals ACA with its protections for pre-existing conditions." It's demagoguery. And it's working, as demagoguery too often does.
Not true. Even if the Supreme Court does strike down the ACA someday, the era of insurance companies turning down applicants with health problems is over. Across the country, Republican and Democratic state lawmakers agree on that. They are busy devising smarter ways to protect people with pre-existing conditions and keep insurance affordable, with or without Obamacare. Not one of these plans throws people with health problems under the bus. Democrats' rhetoric about losing coverage for pre-existing conditions is hysteria.
Even so, Democratic fear mongers have a shot at derailing Kavanaugh, because they only need one Republican defection. With Senator John McCain (R-AZ) absent due to brain cancer, Republicans have a razor-thin 50-49 Senate majority.
A TV ad targeting Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) claims the GOP has "a plan to install a Supreme Court Justice who will overturn" protections for people with serious health problems and "take us back to a time when insurance companies could deny you coverage." It warns viewers that "130 million Americans" could be dropped.
What's the truth? Before Obamacare fewer than half a million people a year were turned down by insurers because of poor health. Not 130 million. It was a tiny problem that needed fixing.
Unfortunately, Obamacare fixed it the wrong way — by requiring insurers to charge healthy people and chronically ill people the same amount. It's extortion. Five percent of the population use 50% of healthcare. Healthy buyers pay sky-high premiums with huge deductibles, and seldom get anything covered when they see a doctor. All their premiums are going to cover the 5%.
Alaska, Minnesota, Maryland, Oregon, and Wisconsin are reimbursing insurers for their costliest patients using general revenues to bring down premiums for everyone else.
You might expect blue states to go that route. But red states are adopting the same fix. Governor Scott Walker, a conservative Republican, vows to maintain protections for people with pre-existing conditions by reimbursing insurers with public funds to cover the costs of chronically ill Wisconsinites. The state predicts premiums will drop 13% in 2019 and another 12% in 2020.
To get out from under Obamacare's rigid federal regulations, twenty states, including Wisconsin, are challenging Obamacare in court. The states that are suing cite unaffordable premiums and insurers exiting, and say they should be free to devise better remedies. Like Wisconsin is already doing.
It's possible that in two or three years, the lawsuit could reach the Supreme Court, where a Justice Kavanaugh would have a vote. Alarmist Democrats are flagging the lawsuit as an attack on protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Nonsense. As the states are proving, Obamacare rules aren't the only way to protect people with pre-existing conditions. Just the dumbest way.
As for Judge Kavanaugh himself, he has never written one word about covering or not covering pre-existing conditions. To smear him as an enemy of the sick is pure flimflam.


This is the perfect present for any "hustler" even if that's yourself! it features my original hand lettering artwork at the top and lots of space for you to fill out with all of your items, it also has space on the side so once you have completed your task you can fill in the box, or just cross them off!! That's the best part of the list-making process after all!


Remember Apple's 1984 Macintosh commercial, which portrayed Apple as a rebel brand shattering technological conformity? Twenty-five years later, the tables have turned. Now Apple is the tyrant, enforcing technological conformity by locking iTunes out to anything but iPhones and iPods.
A startup named doubleTwist plans to change all that, by making software that lets you connect to iTunes using non-Apple devices. Their first ad features a remake of Apple's 1984 ad, but with a twist. Now Steve Jobs is the evil dictator, and the enslaved masses wear iPod earbuds.
This parody is a stroke of pure genius. There's probably no clearer way to dramatize how Apple has betrayed the rebellious ideals of its foundation.


Does London Have a Reason to Mesh?
But is there really much demand for open-air surfing? After all, staring at a laptop screen in the sunshine is not a great experience, especially in an area where so many cafes have Wi-Fi access. . . [also] it's hard to see why well-paid city workers would bother with the extra effort needed to make a Wi-Fi call.
If the companies want public access in large cities to play a large role, they need to push devices that help users connect and make calls more easily. For the London network the companies are offering free service for the first month over Nokia's devices, and EarthLink has a similar promo with Nokia's newest Internet tablet and free service until the end of 2007 in the U.S. But these types of devices have been slow to enter the mainstream.
London's network could bring in a significant amount of subscribers, but my guess is it will take quite a bit of time to draw substantial interest from the public. Enterprises, looking to save money, might be more willing to try it out.
The most important question will really be the price for the Wi-Fi access in London.
I notice here in Berlin that I often make a quick free VoIP phone call or check my emails when I see the sign of free-hotspot.com at a café. At other, paid, hotspots I don't stop.
Wi-Fi on fresh air is nice to have but it's not so necessary as to pay for it. Only in one case: Many of my friends are looking for free or cheap hotspots near their homes so that they can cancel their telephone and DSL contracts.
You are also the point that the Cloud also has relationships with other provides that allow users access. For example, the cloud allows Vonage users of the wifi phone free access to their network. That means a user with a Vonage wifi phone can make a call in any Cloud hotspot (including the City of London) for free eliminating any need for handover or roaming within the square mile.
If a WiFi network is to be used for public services, then it has to be robust. You cannot ask a Police officer or a firefighter to move around his PDA looking for coverage, in these scenarios, the needs are summarized in four words: It Has To Work. Even a dustman toting a WiFi gadget used to collect statistics on how many Starbucks cups are in each bin will be demanding as to the quality of the service.
In Barcelona, traffic wardens have been using PDAs to write their tickets for about two years now, and what do they use? The trusty, resilient GPRS network with full coverage anywhere in the city.
With mobile network operators rolling out higher and higher speeds on their networks (over 7Mbps was seen at the last 3GSM), does it make sense to blanket-cover cities? For fixed-line operators willing to compete against mobile operators, probably.
The real issue for this type of network is not to stagnate by providing "just" Internet access. It is the availability of services and applications that can be used over this network that will create the larger user numbers. Think of online application such as the ones Google has recently started offering (spreadsheets, word-processing etc) onlin backup for mobile devices, but also very much th wide range of location based services and geo-location tools.
I reckon this scheme will fail for a number of reasons.
Firstly the location is actually pretty poor considering Westminster is a 'downtown' area – mainly offices with existing WiFi connections. Why would you choose to unplug when you have a faster, more reliable connection at hand?
Secondly the price will probably be very high seeing as The Cloud already operate hot spots and their existing access services are very expensive.
I also don't believe the quality of the service will be particularly good – for a start it's questionable exactly how many concurrent skype calls or video downloads can occur on a mesh network like this, where there are few gateway to the internet and as such a lot of bandwidth is consumed transporting the signal from base station to base station in addition to bast-station to client.
Given the dense nature of the area it's also likely there will be a lot of existing wifi network traffic to deal with too.
I think this scheme would have more chance of being success if access was free – but then I guess if that was to happen it would ultimately be deemed as a failure by those who erected it. Clearly the markers for success for this project have been set around revenue rather than municipal benefit.
However, depending on penetration into closed sopaces like train stations etc, the opportunity to compete with mobile location based services and Mobile TV may be interesting.
this will be quite fun, expecially for users of GSM / WiFi mobile phones like the E and N Series Nokias. Using truphone or other mobile VoIP providers you will be able to sit anywhere and make very cheap mobile phone calls. This is in particular interesting for visitors. London has 25 million tourist a year. Each of them makes an ARPU for an MNO during the visit of £10, that's a 250,000 pound (500,000 dollar) market to tackle. Clearly you can call for much less from a WiFi enabled mobile phone. Unless Orange or Vodafone cripple your phone, like they have done on the N95 to keep cool companies like truphone out of the GAME of offering a real choice to consumers.
I'd love to see pricing on something like this per month.


Lemon can brighten the skin, so it can help fade acne scars faster. You only have to squeeze the lemon to get the water. Then dip the cotton into it and apply it to the face evenly, especially those with acne scars. Perform this treatment every day.
Honey is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory which helps heal damaged skin and prevent acne. Besides honey can also moisturize the skin while softening scar tissue and improving the skin.
How: take one tablespoon of honey, mix with lemon water, and then stir evenly. Apply the mixture to the face that has been cleaned. Leave for 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Dry it by patting it using a soft cloth, then apply a moisturizer. Perform this treatment every day.
Avocados are the most effective solution to get rid of acne scars. Avocados help cleanse the pores, thus preventing the appearance of acne. In addition, avocados help to fade black spots.
How: take the avocado ripe, crush it until it becomes a smooth paste. Add one tablespoon of honey and enough lemon water, then mix evenly. Apply the mixture to the face that has been cleaned, especially the area with acne scars. Leave in 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Dry it by patting it using a soft towel. Perform this treatment every day.
Rose water softens scar tissue, so it fades acne scars while helping to regenerate skin cells.
Avocado and Hair Care, meaning avocado is used for hair care and it turns out to be an alternative solution for various hair problems, including dry and fall hair. Come on, see how to make it!
Avocado is not only beneficial for the skin and body health. Avocados are also very good for hair. Avocado oil is very easily absorbed by the hair sacs, so it is great for dry hair. However, not only to deal with dry hair you know, this one fruit has also been used by ancient Egyptians to improve hair growth, overcome dry hair, and increase the shine of hair. You can use fresh fruit or avocado oil to get the benefits. You can also make masks like the following to make your hair more beautiful, let's see!
Facial skin problems are a necessity that often makes inconvenience in everyday relationships. Non-confidence in association can occur in a woman because of this problem. Here, we will briefly discuss acne and wrinkles skin care.
Inside the pore or hair follicle is a gland called a sebum gland, that is stimulated by androgen hormones to produce oil. The job of the oil is to keep the hair in the follicle soft so it doesn't break. The oil that finds its way onto the skin keeps our skin soft and pH balanced. Acne occurs due to improper skin care and/or hormonal imbalances.
Acne is a skin disorder that attacks people of all ages and sadly enough, is very common today. Years ago acne was a right of passage for teens and was mostly over looked as something that "you would just grow out of." We know now that it can be a sign of hormonal imbalances.

A lottery is a game in which participants purchase a ticket for a chance to win prizes juli4d. These games vary from state to state, but each state has its own system of rules and regulations. In some states, betting on the lottery's draws is legal. The same rules apply, though, and you may need to bring proof of your identity.
There are two main types of lotteries. State-run lotteries are operated by the state, and are open to residents of that state. For example, New Jersey's lottery offers seven draw games. Those include Powerball and Lotto America. Another type is a multi-state lottery, which is run by the Multi-State Lottery Association. Currently, there are 45 states that operate their own lottery. All of them offer some form of online service.
The oldest lotterie organization in the US is the Connecticut Lottery. It began operations in 1964. Since then, it has been expanding its offering of games. Some of its latest offerings include e-Instant games, which can be played on a desktop or a mobile phone.
Another popular US lottery is the MegaMillions. Almost all states participate in this lottery, which features a jackpot that can exceed $1 billion. Besides the jackpot, there are other large jackpots available, including the Eurojackpot. If you have a winning ticket, it is possible to claim your prize in person at a local lottery center. However, if you are a winner of a larger sum of money, you may need to bring your prize claim form or an IRS-certified mail service.
Other US state-run lotteries include the Oregon Lottery, which launched in 1989. It features several in-house games and offers a range of scratch-offs. Also, it is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association.
The Florida Lottery has a wide variety of local and multi-state draw games. Among its offerings are Mega Millions, Powerball, MUSL, Second Chance Win, and a low-dollar ticket. Additionally, the lottery has expanded its range of games, offering scratch-offs and high-stakes mega jackpots.
In addition to the lotteries in the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also offer lotteries. When the two states operate their own lotteries, they will join 45 other states that operate in the U.S.
A few other states that are working on making their lotteries available online are Pennsylvania, Georgia, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. As of 2011, the Department of Justice clarified its position on the Wire Act, which previously prohibited US states from selling lottery tickets over the Internet. This clarification opened the door for more states to join the online lottery movement.
Most of the profit from the lottery goes toward the state's school fund. Some of the other profits are used for environmental and wildlife programs. Finally, a portion of the lottery's proceeds go to a state's general fund.
While the number of states with online lotteries continues to rise, the legality of online gambling in the US hasn't yet been widely established. Fortunately, some states are working to make it legal.

Is there a way to set up an SMTP interface on JMP or alternative?
I have a need to send 'Out of Control' Alarm notifications by e-mail to process owners within our organization.
I am using JMP 12 on a 64-bit system and unfortunately have learned that I cannot use the MAIL function in JSL as our Outlook is the 32-bit version.
Is there any way that I could configure SMTP so that I can bypass the mail client and contact the SMTP directly?
If it is not possible to configure SMTP has anyone found an alternative work around for this problem?
Re: Is there a way to set up an SMTP interface on JMP or alternative?
There are a couple of ways to send emails besides the Mail function.
1. You can use the mailto protocol in the Web function in JSL to send an email.
This way, the email cannot be sent automatically. Someone would have to physically press send.
However, you cannot automatically add attachments using this method.
2. You could also use a VBScript to send emails.
See the article below for details on writing the VBScript.
After you get the VBScript working on its own, you can save the VBScript using JSL as a text file with the vbs extension and run the script with the Open function. You can use "\[" and "]\" for JMP to escape any double quotes within the script. See the example below for details.
First, thank you to Justin for the response above.
I would just like to add that in JMP 13, the limitation on maintaining "bitness" between Outlook and JMP has been removed. You will be able to use the Mail JSL command with a 64-bit JMP and 32-bit Outlook.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X review: Powerful sound in a lightweight headset
Dexerto
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X marries the power of the manufacturer's long-running lineup with a light form factor that makes for excellent audio across all platforms.
SteelSeries is one of the biggest manufacturers around right now, and with that comes some undeniable pressure to stay at the top. Thankfully, the company's latest Arctis Nova range offers a little something for all budgets without compromising on quality — and nowhere is that felt more than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X.
Taking its place near the top of the pricing pyramid, it's an excellent headset whether you're playing on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or mobile. While there are some minor nitpicks (mainly with the dongle), it deserves a spot in SteelSeries' ever-expanding gaming headsets line.
Connectivity: Bluetooth, 2.4GHz Dongle, Detachable 3.5mm wire (Headset jack/combination jack)
Driver diameter: 40mm
Compatibility: Anything with a 3.5mm combo jack, headphone jack, and mic jack
Features: ClearCast Gen 2 noise-canceling microphone, SteelSeries Sonar Audio Software Suite with Pro-grade Parametric EQ, 360° Spatial Audio
Price: NA $179.99 | EU €199.99 | AP $199.99
Where to buy: Amazon, Best Buy
What's in the box: SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X gaming headset, 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack, USB-C to USB-A charging cable, USB-C to USB-A extension, USB-C dongle.
The Arctis Nova 7X is a good-looking headset.
If you've seen any SteelSeries headset in the last decade, you'll no doubt find the Arctis Nova 7X very familiar to the eye.
In line with its 'Xbox-first' branding, it comes in a sleek black with a green inner headband that can be adjusted — although not without some fiddling with the notches. The outer headband is a more rigid plastic, and while it has some flexibility, it's designed to keep the headset on, well, your head.
The ear cups slide to adjust, and unlike other headsets, they're not particularly easy to do so. That's no bad thing in our eyes, though, and while we don't know how it'll hold up in the long-term, for now, it's easy to "set and forget" without having it constantly needing readjusting.
Both cups fold flat for storage (and there's a small cloth carrying case included, although it doesn't offer a great deal of protection), and each is adorned with the SteelSeries logo (which can be swapped out for custom options, should you so choose). While many headsets tend to put almost all of the controls on one side, the Arctis Nova 7X equally distributes things to prevent either ever feeling cluttered.
You'll find a charging port (USB-C, thankfully) on the right-hand side, as well as a power and Bluetooth button snuck on the back and a chat mixing wheel. On the left, you'll find a volume wheel, mute switch, 3.5mm jack cable for wired connections, and a very well-hidden mic (we'll get to that shortly).
Perhaps the most impressive factor is just how light the headset is, coming in at just 325g. With the weight so well-distributed it's easy to wear for long periods, although we'd argue that something like the Logitech Pro X Wireless offers similar comfort and feels a little more premium thanks to its more industrial design.
The Arctis Nova 7X is impressively light.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X's audio features feel like a laundry list of "wants" for many companies, but the manufacturer has fit as many clever technologies inside as possible while also coming in at a lower price point than many of its rivals.
For one, the Arctis Nova 7X offers spatial audio that feels just as good here as it does on Sony's Pulse 3D headset, while Xbox and PC players can enjoy Microsoft Spatial Sound, too.
We'll cover more about the platform-agnostic nature of the headset shortly, but it's rare to find something so all-encompassing on all platforms.
It's no slouch when it comes to powerful audio, either. We tested it across multiple devices with impressive results. Playing Valorant, footsteps were clear and guns easily identifiable in tough, bullet-filled rounds (the Vandal feels particularly throaty), while car engines sounded positively symphonic in Forza Horizon 5. We'd also argue that the Battle Rifle in Halo Infinite has never felt more impactful than it has through this headset.
The light weight also meant that the Arctis Nova 7X is ideal for streaming music, too. In an average workday, this headset hops between bassy rap and breakdown-laden metalcore, and both absolutely sing on this headset. As an added bonus, podcasts are impressively clear, too.
Microphone quality
Audio quality is impressive, as is mic clarity
That clarity of incoming voices is reciprocated with the mic, too. The ClearCast Gen 2 mic is absolutely crystalline, although the lightweight headset body means you can expect to hear yourself at least a little over everything else as your own voice reverberates.
In the midst of Destiny 2's Vow of the Disciple raid, we found we were able to formulate strategies with minimal fuss, even while chatting through Bungie's occasionally problematic in-game chat.
It's not quite as clear as a bespoke mic like a HyperX Duocast or something similar, but as far as headset mics go it's one of the best we've used in a while.
It may seem an odd thing to pick up on when everything else is so positive, but the biggest issue we have with the Arctis Nova 7X is in its dongle.
Being able to connect to anything (and we mean anything) is a huge boon, of course, but the thin, wide USB-C connector definitely plays better with some than others. On Xbox Series X, for example, you'll need to plug into a USB adapter and have the cable dragging out, while on the Switch you can pop it straight into the bottom of the device in handheld mode.
It's a small price to pay to be able to use it across platforms, but at the same time, it may mean you'll need to rejig the USB setup in the back of your PC as we did.
If you do happen to connect to a PC, you'll get access to SteelSeries' impressive audio suite through Steelseries GG, which includes a series of powerful equalizers. As with many recent headsets, you can also connect a Bluetooth device while you're using the dongle, meaning you can listen to music while playing or connect to the Discord mobile app.

Former morning host of Toronto's JAZZ.FM91 sues station, alleging years of bullying by former CEO
Simon Houpt
Published August 29, 2018 Updated August 29, 2018
A former morning host of JAZZ.FM91 is suing the troubled not-for-profit Toronto radio station, alleging she was bullied for years by its former president and CEO, Ross Porter, and then constructively dismissed last spring after joining others in complaining about his alleged misconduct.
The move comes days before the station's annual general meeting on Friday morning, when disenchanted member-supporters are expected to challenge the charity's board about the turmoil that erupted on its watch earlier this year.
In a statement of claim filed Tuesday afternoon with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Garvia Bailey, who hosted JAZZ.FM91's marquee show Good Morning Toronto from September, 2014, until April, 2018, is seeking $420,000, including one year's salary of $90,000 for wrongful dismissal, $100,000 in moral damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. She also seeks $50,000 for "loss of publicity," $50,000 for "breach of the duty of honesty" and $30,000 in damages for reprisal under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
The station, which relies on gifts and donations from listeners and supporters for more than half of its revenue, had a budget of $4.6-million in 2017, according to filings with the Canada Revenue Agency.
In her statement of claim, Ms. Bailey says that she and other then-current and former JAZZ.FM91 employees began meeting in or around January of this year to discuss their experiences "being bullied, harassed and sexually harassed by Ross Porter."
Calling themselves the Jazz Collective (or the JAZZ.FM Collective), Ms. Bailey says the group sent a letter on March 16, 2018, to the board of directors alleging "the station had become a toxic work environment." The letter named Mr. Porter, as well as the station's vice-president of finance and operations, Sharda Prashad; then-chair of the board Bernard Webber; and then-vice-chair Renah Persofsky. Ms. Bailey's name was on the letter, along with those of 12 others.
The station called in a third-party workplace investigator who interviewed more than two dozen individuals, including Ms. Bailey. The investigation concluded at the end of April. In a statement to The Globe and Mail at the time, a board member wrote that "many of the complaints were unsubstantiated... Where the findings substantiated aspects of the complaint, the board has taken corrective action."
Mr. Porter stepped down at the end of May and was granted the title of president emeritus. In a statement to The Globe and Mail at the time, Mr. Porter said "I consider many of these accusations to be isolated, distorted and manipulated out of context." He added that his change in duties was not connected to the investigation, and that he had stepped down to spend more time with his family.
Ms. Bailey says in her statement that, in late April, she was called into a meeting with Ms. Persofsky, who told her the ratings for her show were "in the dumps." She was offered a new contract as the host of "an unspecified, unplanned and unbranded overnight pre-recorded radio show," a move which Ms. Bailey alleges was "reprisal for being part of the Jazz Collective and making the complaint."
After Ms. Bailey argued that the change amounted to constructive dismissal, the station backtracked and offered to reinstate her in the morning position, "subject to a performance management plan." She would still be reporting to Ms. Persofsky, about whom she had made a formal complaint.
"Given the years of bullying and harassment from Ross Porter directed at Ms. Bailey, the environment created by the bullying, harassment, and sexual harassment of staff at JAZZ.FM91 by Ross Porter, Sharda Prashad, Renah Persofsky and others, and the callous, high-handed and egregious nature of the attempt to demote and/or subject Ms. Bailey to arbitrary performance management without any legitimate rationale, Ms. Bailey determined she could not return to an unsafe and toxic work environment," the statement says.
The statement further claims that, contrary to the station's stated rationale for Ms. Bailey's demotion, the ratings for her show were on "an upward ratings trend."
The statement of claim outlines a workplace in which staff felt they had no safe channels through which to report behaviour they believed to be inappropriate. In the spring of 2016, Ms. Bailey says responsibility for human resources was handed to Ms. Prashad, whom many staff regarded as Mr. Porter's "closest confidante" and therefore someone to whom they did not feel comfortable reporting alleged misconduct.
Ms. Bailey says Mr. Porter warned staff that taking concerns directly to the board of directors "would be grounds for discipline or termination."
She also alleges that, in the spring of 2015, she was sexually harassed by an unnamed "major donor to the station" to whom Mr. Porter "had instructed female staff to be 'extra nice.'" In 2016, she says, a male listener sent her photos of his genitalia. Though one manager at the station did contact police about the latter incident, "JAZZ.FM91 did not implement or discuss any sexual harassment, harassment, or bullying policy or procedures with Ms. Bailey."
The statement adds that a staff meeting in early 2018 "was the first time Ms. Bailey received information on how to report sexual harassment, harassment and bullying at JAZZ.FM91."
Ms. Bailey's statement also sheds light on the departure of Dani Elwell, another well-liked host whose show was cancelled in September 2017 without any explanation to listeners. It claims that Ms. Elwell, who also served as the station's vice-president of creative and the program director of Good Morning Toronto, was told she had been deemed "toxic" after questioning some decisions made by Ms. Prashad.
Ms. Elwell left the station last fall.
None of the allegations in Ms. Bailey's statement has been proved in court.
On Wednesday afternoon, Charles Cutts, the station's interim CEO, e-mailed the following statement to The Globe: "JAZZ.FM91 has received Ms. Bailey's Statement of Claim and denies the allegations. We continue to be committed to a collegial and harassment-free workplace. A neutral third party investigation was previously conducted into Ms. Bailey's allegations and JAZZ.FM91 will vigorously defend itself in the appropriate legal forum now that the matter is before the courts."
The chair of the board, David McGown, said he had not seen the statement and declined to comment.
Ms. Bailey's suit comes as some deep-pocketed donors intensify pressure on the board to publicly address concerns about their handling of the Porter allegations and other issues, ahead of the charity's annual general meeting.
Two weeks ago, Marie Slaight, a producer and philanthropist who last year made a sizable donation to the station in honour of her father, broadcast legend Allan Slaight, sent a letter to the board criticizing its handling of the workplace allegations and calling for its dissolution. She warned that she and other concerned individuals were considering running for the board.
Last week, the board began to push back, making its own allegations about those challenging its authority.
In a letter sent to donors last Friday, Mr. McGown, charged that "a small but vocal faction appears intent on overthrowing the board," and suggested they might be "looking for an opportunity to disrupt a relatively small charitable institution and grab what is an extremely valuable asset, the licence and broadcast reach of JAZZ.FM91." He warned that the station might be taken over and turned "into just another commercial broadcasting station."
That seems unlikely, as regulators would be inclined to shoot down any such effort if it were launched: The station holds a special licence from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission noting its not-for-profit status and requiring it to provide programming that is "clearly complementary to, rather than imitative of, that provided by commercial broadcasters."

Kroger Further Commits to Ending Hunger, Creating Healthier Communities
Grocer outlines initiatives in conjunction with White House conference
Emily Crowe
Kroger is committed to ending hunger and creating healthier communities through advancing food as medicine and expanding access to telehealth services.
The Kroger Co. Chairman and CEO Rodney McMullen was part of this week's White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, and during the event outlined several new efforts that will be undertaken by the grocer. Concurrent with the conference, Kroger Health also brought together a coalition of leaders for a roundtable discussion about improving population health through food and nutrition.
As part of its commitment, Kroger plans to advance the food-as-medicine platform through a partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation and the American Heart Association that will mobilize $250 million to build a national Food as Medicine research initiative. The grocer will also launch a new Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Innovation Fund in partnership with Kroger Health to find startup and scalable solutions that improve health outcomes.
Kroger will also expand access to expert, credible and convenient care through telehealth services. Finally, the retailer plans to empower all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices by expanding OptUP nutritional scoring to test and determine whether it can transform into a national nutrition scoring system.
"We are proud to join the White House and dozens of public, private and non-profit organizations who share our longstanding commitments to end hunger, eliminate food waste, and improve health and nutrition for all Americans," said McMullen. "As Kroger marks our fifth anniversary of Zero Hunger | Zero Waste and remains on track to donate 3 billion meals by 2025 and our Kroger Health business is uniquely positioned to provide care at the nexus of food and medicine, we welcome and applaud this collective focus on new initiatives and innovative ways to support our shared missions."
The White House conference was well attended by the food and beverage industry, with retailers, industry groups and CPGs featured in President Biden's summary of industry commitments.
Serving 60 million households annually nationwide through a digital shopping experience, and almost 2,800 retail food stores under a variety of banner names, Cincinnati-based Kroger is No. 4 on The PG 100, Progressive Grocer's 2022 list of the top food and consumables retailers in North America.

I rise to speak up for parents, teachers and students in the electorate of Chifley who are rightly outraged at the news that the NSW Coalition Government has cut funding to schools by nearly $2 billion over 4 years.
At a time when we're trying to get governments and schools and P&C's working together to bring to life the promising reforms outlined by the Gonski Review, the NSW Coalition Government's cuts are a crushing blow.
No-one who voted for local State Coalition MPs Bart Bassett and Kevin Conolly were ever told their child's public, Catholic or independent school would cop a cut or freeze to their school's funding.
Not one of the 67 schools in the Chifley electorate, were given advance notice about this rip off.
Not before the election, certainly not straight after.
We have over 200 families at the school, the majority of them struggling to pay any fees. This places a burden on our system as a whole because we carry these families financially.
This is just a forerunner to what we can expect if the Coalition was elected federally. Here's the proof.
We've had their education spokesperson argue that bigger class sizes aren't a big deal.
They won't support the Gonski reforms.
They've also floated the notion of capping university places and lifting HECS fees – plus who knows what else given the $70 billion spending cuts.
So at the state level you get funding cuts, increased TAFE fees and job losses.
Federally, the Coalition promise larger class sizes, no support for Gonski, fewer uni places and higher fees.
I want to read this quote from the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald.
I agree. Many Western Sydney residents want better transport options but school kids shouldn't foot the bill for it.
I've read somewhere that former NSW Premier Nick Griener has reportedly said the North-West Rail Link could be the project that eats the NSW Government.
Now it looks like it's the project eating into school funding.
And don't forget the NSW Government dragged the chain supporting the NDIS – after hiking up housing rents for 5,000 pensioners in Chifley.
What's next? What vital public projects and spending will be cut to meet the needs of the North-West Rail Link?
It's clear the NSW Government will refuse to change its mind on this awful school funding cut – but parents, teachers and students should rightly demand to know what the Federal Coalition plans are for their schools.
Education should be the last place for funding cuts as those most affected by this are the most important people in our society, our children.

Association of Mortgage Intermediaries
The Voice of the Broker
Fighting Your Corner
Nov 17 – The March of the "BOT"
BY AMI IN Article On 23rd November 2017
The rapid march of technology is predicted to make redundant the traditional mortgage broker. If all is to be believed then we will soon see the application of Artificial Intelligence, robo-advice models, enhanced sourcing, online criteria systems, propensity modelling and direct to lender application and approval processes which will bring the demise of traditional approaches. There has been much hype surrounding the arrival of a range of tech-based innovators in our market. However I am coming to the conclusion that they have yet to escape the need for a human to talk to a human at this point in the development of systems, software and consumer trust and behaviour.
For me, the reality of technology blowing away the human element in the transaction is a long way off. The technology I have seen to date still requires broker intervention to comply with the regulatory standards which were introduced after the last financial crisis to protect both consumers from themselves and national economies from systemic risk. Stepping away from the principles and standards set out in the principles and rules delivered through the Mortgage Market Review would be a courageous step for any regulator. As at today, consumers of all ages still profess to want to talk and the new systems still need lots of development before they can achieve the true mantle of regulated advice.
The next key change that might open the door further is the arrival of open banking which will hit the UK early next year. Driven by government and the Competition and Markets Authority, it is largely dependent on the UK's eight largest banks and Nationwide sharing customers' data through a standard set of open APIs – application programming interfaces – a set of codes that allow different technology platforms to talk to each other.
The move is designed to accelerate change in the UK retail banking sector, particularly the current account market, allowing consumers to share their data securely between banks and with third parties. In theory, it will enable consumers to manage all their retail banking accounts with multiple providers through a single digital app. It will allow their "Bot" to talk to the Bank's "Bot". The UK-based open banking regime sits alongside the European Commission's Revised Payment Service Directive (PSD2) which also forces European banks to share customer data via a standard set of APIs.
Given how soon this is due for delivery, open banking is squarely on retail banks' radars, but has so far mostly been discussed in the context of pulling current account, savings and credit card information into one app to allow consumers to take more control of their funds as well as to compare products on the basis of their own requirements. It follows on from initiatives such as seven-day switching for current accounts. So far, little has been said on the subject of how these innovations might affect the mortgage market.
Lest I am accused of being a Luddite, I have always have been an advocate of progress. Change is the constant, and innovation and new technology has been ever present since humans rose on two legs. It is a large part of what makes us human with the ability to adapt and evolve. While I do not claim to foresee any specific outcomes, there are a number of concerns AMI would raise in relation to the dawn of open banking for mortgage customers – particularly given it comes alongside the imminent introduction of European rules under General Data Protection Regulation, which arrive in the UK from May 2018 and requires customer consent for data sharing.
Ahead of this, retail financial services providers will have to make an API available to the market by 13 January 2018 (in time for the European Directive), meaning financial services technology is likely to move forward at significant pace thereafter. Currently, some lenders are more forthcoming than others on making this interface available to third parties, including traditional mortgage brokers. Theoretically open banking will allow a technology platform to compare specific mortgage products from across the market, tailored to their customer's profile and affordability, on a quickly, accurately and personally underwritten basis. This will undoubtedly be the case if lenders make more of their criteria visible.
Given that mortgage underwriters should be able to access a customer's current account, savings and other debt commitments from all providers in the market securely and automatically through these APIs, affordability assessments should become far more accurate and efficiently processed. The decision will be whether the lender wants access to that level of detail and if the consumer is willing to embrace this new approach and deliver this data through a third party portal. There are already some broker and comparison firms which claim to assess the whole of the market in this way; we disagree that they do, but consider that the open banking regulation is likely to make this process much more transparent and accessible for all firms in the market.
A key concern is how this marries with Mortgage Market Review rules that stipulate the need for financial advice for a significant proportion of borrowers, particularly those deemed to be vulnerable. Age, mental or physical infirmity as well as emotional and familial considerations cannot necessarily be shared through APIs. The new FCA Financial Lives survey indicates the sheer volume of consumers who may be considered "vulnerable". Additionally, open banking escalates AMI's already stated concern over whether online decision trees – automated, and then branded advice – can actually constitute fully regulated advice.
AMI has already expressed concern about the language used by a number of mortgage broker firms claiming to offer online automated mortgage advice to consumers. I would reiterate these concerns and indeed emphasise other issues. There appears to be an imprecise understanding of mortgage regulation, market dynamics and the laws of consumer protection under the purview of the Financial Conduct Authority combined with a disproportionately loud public voice risks misleading consumers. All regulated firms need to comply with the rules irrespective of delivery channel and must ensure that all their communications are clear, fair and not misleading. As PurpleBricks has found, clarity around fees, charges, commissions and costs and their timing must be fully transparent.
In the investment world, fully regulated financial advice is considered as a specific personal and appropriate product recommendation based on the evidence relating to a customer's entire financial position. Guidance constitutes information provided to a customer allowing them to make their own informed decision on what product they want. Simplified advice is a halfway house between these two and typically refers to the 'advice' offered by online services on limited information or for a particular isolated need or product – delivered in some cases by so-called robo-advisers. However this is an investment market concept and in mortgages we only have full advice with all the related responsibilities or execution only where the customer must know the product they want.
An investment or pensions adviser can recommend a product based on any – and often limited – information provided by the customer, meaning the recommendation is not necessarily appropriate based on a customer's full circumstances, which may or may not include future non-financial plans such as marriage, children or divorce. From a compliance perspective, mortgage brokers are already asking themselves the question of whether even complex decision tree-based algorithms can constitute fully regulated advice on this basis. It is for this reason that AMI understands the volume of mortgages completed by robo-advisers is incidental.
There is an additional question of where regulatory responsibility and liability lies in a post-open banking world. It has been suggested this world could see traditional banking models disaggregated and disintermediated with products becoming modular and 'marketplaces' taking the place of traditional banking models. Not only will this have implications for financial services capital structures and prudential requirements, regulatory permissions will still need to apply, but in a world where it could be far less clear where the responsibility for advice and liability lies.
Data protection is also a significant concern, particularly given the growing prevalence of cybercrime. Clear separation of responsibilities between distributors and providers is important. Open banking is undoubtedly a positive step forwards for consumers and the industry. However, as with all progress, we would urge the regulator to be mindful of unintended consequences that could have a detrimental impact on consumer finances.
The battle between app-based approaches which may work for initial enquiries and early data gathering, must switch seamlessly to the more traditional web-based portals for more complex and secure application and offer elements. I am sure that advice will remain a human thing, with the delivery of full algorithms, that are truly advice, being at the margins with significant risks. I have no doubt that in time this will form a significant part of our market. However true robo-advice where there is no human intervention remains a long way off. My "Bot" is staying safely in its box.
