This is where the content is divided into pages. It can be dynamic and can have several criteria that determines the amount of content on a page. Some examples of criteria would be: (1) by character count (which is terrible), (2) by character count, then nearest (word which is better), (3) by character count and nearest paragraph (which is a little better), or (4) something a bit more sophisticated, like by page size limit and rounding down a paragraph.
To navigate through the pages, there's usually a row of numbers at the bottom and/or the top. They may have a next and previous page link. They also might be abbreviated in cases where there are more pages than the width of the page can handle.
The purpose of this is to give people the feeling that they're reading a book or a newspaper. The idea is that it should feel less intimidating than throwing up all the content.
(That's what I'm calling it, anyway.) It's where there is content loaded into the viewport and some content loaded below. As you scroll down the page more content is dynamically loaded below the viewport so there's a virtually seamless loading of more content. The only criteria you have to worry about is how much you want to load and when.
You don't penalize your user for having a slower internet connection. Aside from what may initially load, you don't have to sacrifice your experience with heavy content like videos, larger images, or… (I don't really want to say it…) fffffff… flash content. Of course, with pagination there are ways to sort of achieve these benefits, but you generally have to load each page individually.
Since I'm the judge, and no one's currently arguing with me, my answer is always going to be dynamic content loading, if possible. Thinking in terms of the effort of the user both physically and mentally, this one always wins in my book. There's no extra clicking, just a smooth stream of flowing content and you don't have to think about what you need to click next.
To provide a safer experience you could do things like adding some fixed content that doesn't scroll with the rest of the page, like a simplified top nav (or a button to get back to the top.) You could also do an alternative to pagination with a fixed table of contents (which is way more informative than a row of numbers) that guides you through sections of your content.
For mobile it's especially easy and natural for the user to continue to scroll through their content rather than having to scroll a bit and then hit a button (that may or may not be big enough for their finger to accurately hit.) I think it's imperative for mobile devices to have fewer forms of navigation.
Just a quick addition: A great database technology that I've recently seen used for dynamic content loading is MongoDB. And it is pretty neat how well it works.
I've been using this concept a lot (bottom of the page). I think it's part of the human condition, but the general idea is that unnecessary things happen when people are afraid of changing times. The only real thing that pagination does is give an old, familiar feel to something new. Books and content on paper are becoming more and more scarce. Yes, you may like the feel of a newspaper because it evokes nostalgia, but the fact of the matter is that it's way more cost-effective to have your content online. Yes, there are jobs at stake with paper becoming scarce, and maybe you think that you're supporting paper by making your website feel like paper, but new jobs are created. If you're a hippie, stop trying to be nostalgic and actually save a tree.

Q: Dependency Resolution in Swagger Startup I'm trying to resolve an object that implements an IMyConfiguration interface during the startup of Swagger.
This is possible to do with the following snippet:
public class SwaggerConfig
{
    public static void Register()
    {
        var myConfig = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver.GetService(typeof(IMyConfiguration));

        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.EnableSwagger(c => { ... });
    }
}

Of course you need to make sure the container is initialized before Swagger registers itself for this to work.
I'm wondering whether there is a possible way to do the dependency resolution some other way, or that I'm going to have to live with this.

Seemal R. Desai, MD talks with host Joshua Zeichner, MD about the importance of addressing dermatologic diseases that affect patients with skin of color in this ever-changing multicultural population. Dr. Desai says the number one issue affecting this population is pigmentary issues, particularly melasma. He reviews advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of melasma, the role of hydroquinone in treatment, a new off-label treatment, and what may be in the pipeline. He says it's important to note that melasma is not a monotherapy disease and that patients should be made aware that this is a chronic condition that needs life-time management.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ: INCY) announced today that results of a global systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Phase 2 study for baricitinib were published by The Lancet. The study, the first completed Phase 2 study of a JAK inhibitor in SLE, showed that a statistically significant proportion of patients treated with 4 mg of baricitinib achieved resolution of their SLE-related arthritis or rash compared to placebo at week 24, the primary endpoint for the trial.
"Despite existing treatments for SLE management, there is a significant need for innovation and alternative treatment options to help patients manage their disease," said Lotus Mallbris, M.D., vice president, immunology development, Lilly Bio-Medicines. "We are very happy to share these data suggesting baricitinib's impact on disease activity and symptoms that matter to patients, including joint pain, and look forward to further investigation of this important new compound in Phase 3 trials."
Lilly plans to initiate Phase 3 trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of baricitinib for the treatment of SLE in the second half of 2018.
In the study, 314 patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo, baricitinib 2 mg or baricitinib 4 mg. Patients treated with 4 mg of baricitinib experienced improvements compared to placebo on several pre-specified secondary endpoints. Compared to placebo, a statistically significant greater proportion of patients treated with 4 mg of baricitinib experienced lower overall disease activity at week 24 as measured by the SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI-4). A statistically significant greater proportion of patients treated with 4 mg of baricitinib achieved a state of low disease activity, as measured by the Lupus Low Disease Activity State, and experienced improvements in pain from baseline, two exploratory endpoints of the study.
The percentage of patients stopping therapy through the 24-week treatment period was 21 percent in the placebo group, 18 percent in the 2-mg dosing group and 17 percent in the 4-mg dosing group. The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the baricitinib groups were upper respiratory tract infections, including viral upper respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections. The frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs) was 5 percent for placebo, 10.5 percent in the 2-mg dosing group and 9.6 percent in the 4-mg dosing group; the most common SAEs were serious infections. One case of deep vein thrombosis was reported in the 4-mg dosing group. There were no deaths, malignancies, major adverse cardiovascular events, tuberculosis, or serious herpes zoster infections.
"Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic, multi-organ autoimmune disease characterized by periods of flare and remission and is associated with a variety of symptoms, including joint pain and swelling," said Daniel Wallace, M.D., lead author and Professor of Medicine and Associate Director of the Rheumatology Fellowship Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "Notably, these Phase 2 data showed improvements in pain associated with SLE, one of the more challenging symptoms for these patients, and I look forward to the investigation of baricitinib in Phase 3 trials for SLE."
The data were also presented at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR 2018).
Over the 24-week treatment period, 67.3 percent of patients treated with 4 mg of baricitinib and standard of care achieved resolution of their SLE-related arthritis or rash compared to 53.3 percent for placebo (p<0.05).
The percentage of patients achieving a SRI-4 response at Week 24 was significantly greater for those treated with baricitinib 4-mg compared to placebo (64.4% for baricitinib 4-mg versus 47.6% for placebo, p<0.05).
No statistically significant differences were observed between the 2-mg and placebo groups across primary or secondary endpoints at Week 24.
The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving resolution of arthritis and/or rash, as defined by the SLEDAI-2K, over the 24-week double-blind treatment phase.
OLUMIANT is a once-daily, oral JAK inhibitor for the treatment of adults with moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to one or more TNF inhibitor therapies.4 There are four known JAK enzymes: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2. JAK-dependent cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.5 OLUMIANT has greater inhibitory potency at JAK1, JAK2 and TYK2 relative to JAK3; however, the relevance of inhibition of specific JAK enzymes to therapeutic effectiveness is not currently known.5 OLUMIANT is approved in more than 40 countries.
This press release contains forward-looking statements (as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) about OLUMIANT (baricitinib) as a potential treatment for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and reflects Lilly and Incyte's current belief. However, as with any pharmaceutical products, there are substantial risks and uncertainties in the process of development and commercialization. Among other things, there can be no guarantee that future study results will be consistent with the results to date, that baricitinib will receive additional regulatory approvals, or be commercially successful. For further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, see Lilly and Incyte's most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, Lilly and Incyte undertakes no duty to update forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this release.

Commissioned by Joseph H. Scranton in 1871, the Estate, a Victorian style residence on Ridge Row, would serve as the Scranton family homestead until 1941, when Worthington Scranton left it for the use of the University of Scranton. The Jesuits would claim this building as their place of residence in June 1942 after the Christian Brothers moved out and they moved in, preparing for their administrative takeover of the University of Scranton.
The First Jesuit Community in the Library, 1942
The Estate was commissioned in 1867 by Joseph H. Scranton and completed by architect Russel Sturgis under the supervision of W.W. Mannes. It cost over $150,000 to build. The building materials took up three railroad cars, 45,000 bricks were used, and Italian marble was even imported for the interior. The house remained in the Scranton family until 1941, when Worthington Scranton left it to the Diocese for the use of the University of Scranton.
A prime example of the Second Empire style, the Estate has architectural features including a hand-carved, solid mahogany fireplace, hand-painted ceilings, solid mahogany staircases and pillars, a Tiffany glass skylight surrounded by frescoes, and an original Luini painting from the 16th century. The architect, Russel Sturgis, was also known for designing Yale's chapel. The stone masonry was done by William Sykes, and the wood carvings were designed by William F. Paris.
When Joseph H. Scranton died in 1872, just a year after the building was finished, the property passed to his son, William Scranton. He and his wife, Katherine, retained it until Katherine's death in 1935, when it then passed to Worthington Scranton. Worthington and his wife, Marjorie, however, primarily resided in Dalton, PA. In 1941, they donated the residency to the Diocese of Scranton for the use of the University. The Christian Brothers, the then administrators of the University, lived in the Estate briefly until administration of the University passed to the Jesuits in 1942. In June 1942, the Estate became the primary residency of the Jesuits.
The Office of Admissions currently resides in the Estate, which serves as a fitting welcome to prospective Scranton students.

Q: Nest.js validate array of strings if there are defined strings only In the nest.js application on controller level I have to validate DTO.
I've faced with difficulty to check if item is not null (request should be rejected if any list item is null or undefined)
Code bellow demonstrates my configured verifications.
import { ArrayMinSize, IsArray } from 'class-validator'

export class ReminderPayload {
    // ...
    @IsArray()
    @ArrayMinSize(1)
    recipients: string[]
}

Question

*

*I'm looking for help to reject requests with body data like

{
    "recipients": [
        null
    ]
}

*How to validate if array items are string only (it should reject handling if object is in the array item position)?

P.S.
'class-validator' injected successfully, and it produces some validation results for my API.

A: You need to tell class-validator to run the validations on each item of the array.  Change your payload DTO to the following:
import { ArrayMinSize, IsArray, IsString } from 'class-validator';

export class ReminderPayloadDto {
  // ...
  @IsArray()
  // "each" tells class-validator to run the validation on each item of the array
  @IsString({ each: true })
  @ArrayMinSize(1)
  recipients: string[];
}

I'm so excited to be introducing you to one of my industry favorites! Cindy Sanchez Lark of Detaille Weddings & Events is a Connecticut-based wedding and event planner. From the moment Arturo and I met Cindy, we immediately felt like we were talking with someone who we'd known for years! She's kind and easy going, and 100% focused on her clients. Cindy is endlessly creative and an absolute master at what she does. I've worked with her several times this year and always fall in love with the events she plans! The style and decor are always fun and unique, while also showing the personality of each of her couples. Read on to learn more about Cindy and her swoon-worthy events!
"I'm Cindy Sanchez Lark, an event planner, designer, coordinator, and stylist. I love, love, love weddings! I started in the wedding industry in 2002, fifteen years ago! I got my start in the industry while working at The Water's Edge Resort & Spa in the shoreline town of Westbrook, Connecticut. I held various positions at The Water's Edge including Wedding Assistant and Wedding Sales Manager, which encompassed not only booking the weddings but also executing each of them on the day of and seeing it to fruition. After running many events during my time there, I launched my own business, Detaille Weddings & Events."
"I have a passion for the small details; some of my favorites are letterpress and embossed stationery, beautiful tablescapes, shimmery lighting, lace, and lots of candles!"
"I want couples to know that our job is to make their vision a reality! Our personalized wedding and event planning services give them complete control of the process, with professional guidance to create a unique and memorable event. We coordinate events in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York, as well as other destinations. We have experience planning hundreds of weddings and events. Services include full planning, partial planning, or month/day-of coordination. We only book one event per weekend and limit our events per season so we can fully immerse ourselves in the process. We cater to all religions, relationships and customs, and work with the most trustworthy and reliable vendors in the industry."
"The smiles, the gratitude, and the bliss I have the chance to witness at every wedding make my world turn! My favorite moment is fluffing a bride's train right before she walks down the aisle."
"I am inspired by success everywhere I see it, but I'm most inspired by the success of others who share my same humble beginnings. Seeing these types of success stories gives me the drive and motivation to do more and provide a better life for my children and family. I love my Latino culture and feel because of that I relate well to people of different ethnicities, cultures, religions, and customs."
"Ideally, couples should book our services a year before their date to give us enough time to plan the wedding. However, I always welcome couples who are working with a shorter lead time; I have planned amazing events in just four weeks! If the couple is starting early and have more than a year to plan, then I say, 'Yay! Let's do it!' "
"Be mindful of every minute, every person, every special moment. You want to make sure you're aware of the day, as it will go by quickly. This leads me to one more tip: don't skimp on the professional that will document your wedding! Once your day has come and gone, the planning is all over and the investments have been, all you'll have left are your photos. You want those to be incredibly amazing!"
If you don't already, be sure to follow Cindy to stay up to date with her latest weddings and events!
I hope you enjoyed getting to know Cindy of Detaille Weddings & Events! What unique design styles are you hoping to include on your wedding day?

Recently more and more M&A transactions are taking place all over national ways, connecting buyers and sellers together from all over the world.
So, modern dealmakers need a virtual data room that'slack of simplicity and intuitive.
it's known how important security is during the M&A due diligence process, and that's why the Virtual data room due diligence are compliant with ISO27001 – a standard that sets the procedures and controls that should be in place to control an information security system, So let's know together in details.
WHAT IS THE VIRTUAl DATA ROOM DUE DILIGENCE?
It is considered one type of a business research or an investigation held before the acquisition, audit, and merger, signing any kind of contract.
involves the disclosure of information by the sell side to prospective parties, It is the process to make sure that each party involved exposed to all relevant facts before making any final decisions on the deal This term discovered in the United States Security Act 1933, where any broker accused of inadequate disclosure protected from liability if they could prove that they had performed due diligence.
This is the reason that process will become the industry standard for the sake of avoiding risk.
one of the advantages of Using a Virtual data room due diligence is decreasing the time required to complete the Virtual data room due diligence process.
The process does not have to be linear: parties can access all documents simultaneously and focus on the areas that are more similar to the transaction.
In addition to that, clients can work on and directly review the documents in the same location, The traditional process of going back to the data room a number of times as more questions arise is substituted by a much more interactive, real-time process, Virtual data room due diligence.

This costing involves the time taken by professionals going back and forwards to the data room, costs of traveling, printing and the cost of the physical space either in a hotel or office.

The ability to record and store all actions and documents that disclosed also provide a very easy source of data during any potential litigation.
During the Virtual data room due diligence process, companies have to share critical strategic information.
A VDR makes them able to and restricts the opening, sharing, and printing of documents. For key documents, it can make them available during a limited time and watermarked for each individual user.

There has been talk of a Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge for a while, and now Microsoft has finally released the browser to those willing to take part in the Insider program.
While it's early days for this new version of Edge, there is already the Microsoft Edge Insider Addons website to investigate, but you may also want to experiment with settings. One such setting is dark mode -- something which has proved very popular in all sorts of apps. Here's how to enable it.
If you look through the settings for Edge, you'd be forgiven for thinking that there is no dark mode option -- it is certainly not obvious. In fact, even if you enabled dark mode in Windows' settings, you'll be disappointed to find that Edge doesn't play ball. Unless, that is, you know what to do.
Under the Choose your default app mode heading, select Dark.
Now launch Edge and type edge://flags/#edge-follow-os-theme into the address bar before pressing Enter.
From the drop down menu to the right, select Enabled.


Growing to six feet or more in height, Spike Winterhazel will become even wider. Oval leaves to four inches are purple as they emerge, turn a dark, bluish green on maturity. The open, arching branches bear six inch clusters of fragrant, bright yellow flowers, with prominent pink to red anthers and stamens. Most references recommend culture similar to rhododendrons, that is, humus-rich, fertile, well-drained acid soil, in partial shade, with regular moisture. There are reports of its thriving along an asphalt drive, in clay soil, with no water!


CHINA CALLS ITSELF THE 'MIDDLE KINGDOM' (中), LITERALLY OCCUPYING THE CENTRAL SPACE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH. Less esoterically, I consider it the heart of Asia, geographically, culturally, and of course, historically. China borders on to something like 15 to 20 countries, such as Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, Russia, Mongolia and Kazachistan. Strangely, it has taken me a long time to really explore China, although I have been to pretty much everywhere else in Asia.
Huge metropolises, with names you have never heard of, many of them drowning in smog. The most extensive rail network in the world, with the fastest trains. I like living in old places, and China is probably the oldest place there is, when it comes to a neatly chronicled history. It is an ancient place, perhaps the most ancient place in the world, when it comes to feeling an unbroken sense of history. It is the center of time, as well as the center of space.
On top of that, they have Coca Cola!


The City of Mechelen has been investing in European cooperation since 2007, including several projects focusing on accessibility and smart mobility and logistics. Participation in CityChangerCargoBike was a logical choice as a follow-up to the Cyclelogistics Ahead project, where we experienced the potential of the use of cargo bikes and started supporting loads of initiatives. As a medium-sized town right in the heart of Belgium it is a real attraction for tourists and other regional visitors with a historical core, consisting of many churches, historical buildings and works of art. Growth is staggering as it expected to have grown to 100.000 inhabitants by the year 2030. It's therefore going through a huge phase of development, with several ambitious urban projects being carried out or on the way and car-free zones getting expanded. The new city council is committed to continue along this path by implementing new mobility plans focused on pedestrians and cyclists.


Abstract: This work reports on the quantitative determination of the carboxylicgroups created upon HNO3 treatment at multi-wallcarbonnanotube (MWCNT) surface. To this purpose, MWCNTs have been oxidized by refluxing in acid for different periods of time (from 1 h to 12 h). The main goal of the present study comprises the development of a simple analytical methodology based on Boehm's titration that enables the rapid estimation of the totalcarboxylicgroups and their discrimination from the totaloxidizedsites created at MWCNT surface as a result of the acid treatment. The trends observed are correlated with Raman spectroscopy analyses.


In a contested divorce or paternity proceeding, child custody and support are often focal issues.
In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or child support, the court may order either or both parents owing a duty of support to a child of the marriage to pay an amount reasonable or necessary for the support of the child, including an award retroactive to the date of filing the petition, without regard to marital misconduct, after considering all relevant factors including: (1) The financial needs and resources of the child; (2) The financial resources and needs of the parents; (3) The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved; (4) The physical and emotional condition of the child, and the child's educational needs; (5) The child's physical and legal custody arrangements, including the amount of time the child spends with each parent and the reasonable expenses associated with the custody or visitation arrangements; and (6) The reasonable work-related child care expenses of each parent.
The obligation of the parent ordered to make support payments shall abate, in whole or in part, for such periods of time in excess of thirty consecutive days that the other parent has voluntarily relinquished physical custody of a child to the parent ordered to pay child support, notwithstanding any periods of visitation or temporary physical and legal or physical or legal custody pursuant to a judgment of dissolution or legal separation or any modification thereof.
Unless the circumstances of the child manifestly dictate otherwise and the court specifically so provides, the obligation of a parent to make child support payments shall terminate when the child: (1) Dies; (2) Marries; (3) Enters active duty in the military; (4) Becomes self-supporting, provided that the custodial parent has relinquished the child from parental control by express or implied consent; (5) Reaches age eighteen, unless the provisions of subsection 4 or 5 of RSMo. 452.340 apply; or (6) Reaches age twenty-one, unless the provisions of the child support order specifically extend the parental support order past the child's twenty-first birthday for reasons provided by subsection 4 of RSMo. 452.340.
If the child is physically or mentally incapacitated from supporting himself and insolvent and unmarried, the court may extend the parental support obligation past the child's eighteenth birthday.
If when a child reaches age eighteen, the child is enrolled in and attending a secondary school program of instruction, the parental support obligation shall continue, if the child continues to attend and progresses toward completion of said program, until the child completes such program or reaches age twenty-one, whichever first occurs.
The court shall consider ordering a parent to waive the right to claim the tax dependency exemption for a child enrolled in an institution of vocational or higher education in favor of the other parent if the application of state and federal tax laws and eligibility for financial aid will make an award of the exemption to the other parent appropriate.
It is the public policy of this state that frequent, continuing and meaningful contact with both parents after the parents have separated or dissolved their marriage is in the best interest of the child except for cases where the court specifically finds that such contact is not in the best interest of the child. In order to effectuate this public policy, a court with jurisdiction shall enforce visitation, custody and child support orders in the same manner. A court with jurisdiction may abate, in whole or in part, any past or future obligation of support and may transfer the physical and legal or physical or legal custody of one or more children if it finds that a parent has, without good cause, failed to provide visitation or physical and legal or physical or legal custody to the other parent pursuant to the terms of a judgment of dissolution, legal separation or modifications thereof.
The obligation of a parent to make child support payments may be terminated when the child reaches age twenty-one if the child support order does not specifically require payment of child support beyond age twenty-one for reasons provided by subsection 4 of RSMo. 452.340 or the child is emancipated consistent with Missouri statute.

Child support is money that either or both parents are ordered to pay on a regular basis toward the costs of raising their child(ren).
What is a Child Support Order?
Child support may be ordered by the courts or by the Missouri Family Support Division – Child Support Enforcement ("FSD"). The order specifies how often and how much a parent is to pay for child support. When minor children are involved, a child support order is included in a dissolution of marriage (divorce) or paternity judgment.
What Amount of Child Support Will I Receive?
The Supreme Court of Missouri establishes guidelines (also known as "Form 14") for the courts and FSD to use for the calculation of child support. Form 14 takes into account several factors, including the gross incomes of each parent, maintenance being paid to one of the parents, the number of children, the cost of work-related child care, the cost of health insurance for the children, and the amount of time the children spend overnight with each parent during the year. The courts and FSD presume that the Form 14 calculated amount of child support is the correct amount to award; however, based on the evidence, they may choose to award a different amount. The Supreme Court of Missouri has also issued Directions, Comments For Use and Examples For Completion Of Form No. 14.
Am I Entitled to a Child Support Order?
If you are a party to proceedings for dissolution of your marriage, legal separation or paternity, and the children are either fully or partially in your custody, you may ask the court for an award of child support (including temporary child support while your case is pending). When the court issues its final judgment, you may be entitled to obtain an order for child support if you are awarded a period of physical custody of a minor child. If a court has not entered a child support order, FSD may be able to issue a child support order on your behalf.
Who Can Modify a Child Support Order?
Only the court may modify court-ordered child support. Child support may be modified only upon a showing of changed circumstances so substantial and continuing as to make the terms of the original order unreasonable. A child support order entered by FSD may be modified by either FSD or the court.
How Do Visitation and Joint Custody Affect Child Support?
A parent may not deny court-ordered visitation/custody. If a parent denies visitation, the court may reduce child support if it finds that the parent receiving support has failed, without good cause, to provide visitation as ordered. The court's order may be based upon the parties' agreement. Additionally, if the parent receiving support has voluntarily given up physical custody of the child to the parent paying support for more than 30 days, support for that period may abate. This is not triggered by periods of visitation or temporary custody. The amount of child support that the parent paying support need not pay must be calculated by FSD for a child support order originating there, or by the court.
In My Dissolution Judgment, the Court Did Not Order Child Support. Can I Now Apply?
Depending on the terms in your judgment, you may be able to seek child support through the courts through a modification of your judgment.
My Spouse and I are Separated, but Neither Has Filed for Divorce or Legal Separation. Our Children Live With Me. How Can I Get Child Support for My Kids?
FSD may be able to obtain a child support order for the custodial parent. Without filing for legal separation or dissolution of marriage, the court will not be able to order an award of child support.
Who Keeps Track of My Child Support Payments?
The court may order that support payments be made directly to the person entitled to receive the support or to the Missouri Family Support Payment Center in Jefferson City. The Family Support Center maintains records in the Automated Child Support System, which lists the amount of payments, when they are made, and the names and addresses of parties affected by the order. If a party sends his or her payments directly to the other party, both should keep track of the payments made/received.
What is the Family Support Division – Child Support Enforcement?
The State of Missouri established the Family Support Division – Child Support Enforcement ("FSD"), to assist parents and other persons in obtaining child support orders and in collecting child support.
How Can I Sign Up for FSD Services?
To apply, submit an application online or mail it to your nearest county office. Once you've submitted your application, FSD will open a case with the information you provided. FSD will send you a letter confirming the case opening and provide you with contact information and a case number.
Are There Any Financial Qualifications to Obtain FSD Services?
No, the services of FSD are available to all persons entitled to receive support, regardless of income level.
Can I Get Child Support If I Am Receiving State Aid?
As a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ("TANF") recipient, you have assigned your support rights to the state. The state may try to establish a support order if none exists, and will be a party to any attempt to modify the support order.
The Missouri Department of Social Services' nearest child support office is located at 1110 E. 7th St., Suite 200, Joplin, Missouri, 64801. You can contact it at 417-629-3080.
The Father of My Child and I Are Not Married. Can I Receive Child Support From Him?
Yes, even if you are not married, you may receive child support. Once paternity is established, you may be able to obtain a child support order. Child support in a paternity suit may be ordered by the court or FSD.
How Long Does it Take to Get an Order Establishing Paternity?
If the father of the child is unwilling to cooperate in establishing paternity, and it must be proven that he is the father, establishing paternity can be a long process. Every case is different, and the time span varies widely. If, on the other hand, the father admits his paternity, the case can proceed fairly quickly.
Will a Blood Test Be Done in My Paternity Case?
In cases where the father denies paternity, paternity tests will usually be performed on the mother, the child and the alleged father in order to determine the probability of paternity. These tests usually consist of swabbing the inside the mouths of all parties, instead of a blood test.
The Other Parent Isn't Paying Per the Child Support Order. What Do I Do?
Once you have a child support order, if the support is not being paid, you will need to enforce the order. You may attempt to enforce the order privately with the parent paying support, through the court or through FSD.
How Can a Child Support Order Be Enforced?
Because a wage withholding can issue without notice to the party paying support, it is usually the quickest and most effective way to enforce a child support order. If the parent paying support becomes delinquent in an amount equal to one month's total support obligation, his or her income is subject to withholding without further notice. The withholding includes an additional 50 percent above the ordered support amount to pay the parent receiving support for the unpaid support. A child support order may also be enforced through other methods, including real estate liens, personal property liens and attachments. However, these methods are usually more time-consuming and may involve large cash deposits by you.
What is a Civil Contempt of Court?
A civil contempt order is another means for the court to enforce a child support order. The court may order a parent sent to jail due to his or her failure to pay ordered child support.
What If the Parent Paying Support Does Not Reside in Missouri?
The fact that the parent paying support does not live in Missouri may make child support collection more difficult. However, all 50 states have passed laws intended to make collecting child support easier. You may want to speak with your attorney about registering your child support order in the state where the parent paying support resides. FSD has the ability to cooperate with similar agencies in other states. Together, they may file a petition under the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act.
What Happens to the Child Support If I Move Out of Missouri?
In most cases, child support is not affected if you leave the state. If you experience problems collecting child support, contact the FSD agency near your new home. Generally, after a judgment is issued with custody provisions in the judgment, you will either need the other parent's consent to move or a court order allowing you to move. There are very specific actions you need to take if you want to move (with your children). Contact your attorney for that information.
When Does Child Support Terminate?
Unless the child support order states otherwise, child support terminates when the child: (1) Dies; (2) Marries; (3) Enters active duty in the military; (4) Becomes self-supporting; (5) Reaches 18, unless the child is physically or mentally incapacitated, or the child is attending a secondary school program; or (6) Reaches 21, unless the order extends support past the child's 21st birthday due to physical or mental incapacity.
Who Can Terminate a Child Support Order?
Child support may be terminated by the court, FSD or the parties for any of the reasons stated above. The parties may terminate support without court or FSD involvement if: (1) The child reaches 21 and the order does not require support beyond 21; (2) The parent receiving support provides a sworn statement notifying the parent paying support of the child's emancipation, and the statement is filed with the court or FSD (whichever entered the order); (3) The parent paying support files a sworn statement with the court or FSD (whichever entered the order) stating why the child is emancipated, that statement is served on the party receiving support, and the party receiving support agrees or fails to respond within 30 days.
If the parent receiving support denies that the child is emancipated (per 3 above), the court or FSD shall hold a hearing to determine whether to terminate child support.

It appears that the ever rising cost of fuel is putting people off driving, with many motorists admitting they could give it up for good, according to a new survey.
Drivers are said to be reaching breaking point with "out of control" prices - the average monthly fuel bill now costs £102.
Glass.co.uk conducted the study and revealed that 38% of motorists would give up driving completely within a year if prices at forecourts across the UK continue at the same rate as they have for the past twelve months.
The car valuation company surveyed 2,000 drivers and revealed the majority (85%) would change their lifestyles due to an increase of 14-15p a litre. Add to this the cost of car insurance , and owning a vehicle is becoming an expensive business.
Such a rise would mean people making sacrifices just to get by, with 10% spending lower amounts on food at supermarkets, 11% socialising less and 7% cutting back on clothes purchases.
Currently, 37% of people are spending more on fuel compared with their utility bills, while 70% are forking out more on fuel than they do on holidays.
Just 2% of respondents felt the current price of fuel was reasonable.


Spain international's future looked uncertain after being left out of the win over West Ham United.
Cesc Fabregas will remain at Chelsea beyond the summer transfer window despite being left out of the Premier League opener against West Ham United, according to Frank Sinclair. The Spain international was an unused substitute during the 2-1 win on Monday (15 August), leading to reports he is seeking a move to Real Madrid.
Spanish publication Sport claims the former Arsenal captain asked his representatives to make enquiries over a move to the Bernabeu in order to salvage his career. Real boss Zinedine Zidane is not planning any further signings this summer however, and previously said a deal to bring the player to the Spanish capital would be "difficult".
Formerly of Barcelona, Fabregas endured a chequered second season with Chelsea and was forced to deny he was behind a revolt against former manager Jose Mourinho – who was sacked last December. But Sinclair does not expect the 29-year-old to leave the club, despite being unsurprised by his omission against West Ham.
"It didn't surprise me," he told Talksport. "You look at Antonio Conte in the European Championships and what he wants from his teams; he wants work rate. You can't say that Fabregas is not as top-class player on the ball. It's what he doesn't give you when he's not got the ball; would that fit Antonio Conte's type of player?
"He didn't play yesterday but it doesn't mean he doesn't have a future at the club. There will be certain games you will need Fabregas' quality and Chelsea certainly have the strength in depth to make changes in the team."
Fabregas has reportedly explored the possibility of leaving Chelsea this summer, with his representatives having been told to begin talks with Real president Florentino Perez over a move. But Conte says he sees a future for Fabregas despite not selecting him in his first competitive game in charge.
"Cesc is Chelsea's player, and I'm happy about him, with his attitude and behaviour," he said, according to Sky Sports. "He must know from before that when we are a great team like Chelsea it can happen that I have to take a decision before the game to choose a starting XI. "That can happen that Fabregas is not in the starting XI, but it can happen for all the players. It's important to see always the right attitude. Because we must fight this season and it's important to stay together in every situation.


well, we're working with peter moore, of vermont brick ovens again. we made the forms for the one above and a couple of others, and now we're attempting to simplify the on site set up process.
in the past, we made about 24 half domes, which then had to be connected with thin strips of wood to support the bricks .. more or less, not much fun. this time we plan to make 8 ribs and 24 pieces that lay on top of them, like parts of a turtle shell. click the photos to enlarge them.
the plywood doesn't really want to conform to the dome shape, and each layer is made from 4 pieces of 1/8th inch bending poplar and one layer of 3/8ths wacky wood. some kerfs were cut in some of the pieces to facilitate the bends and as you can see in the photo below, the dome shape is not bad.
we plan to sand the whole thing once al 24 sections are laid up, cut to size and fitted.
in the end, the finished oven will look something like this one ...40 years of wood working, and i've never made a dome before .. kind of exciting and challenging for sure ... more pics coming as we progress.
the S.A.T. for adults ..
the third annual dorset artists show is up and running, now through september 8th, tuesdays through sundays, from 11 to 6 ... the opening party is next saturday the 8th, from 4 to 6. come on by.
we've got one of our claro walnut slab tables with the rebar base for sale there, as well as 6 of our walnut ladderback chairs. there are also other furniture pieces by dorset furniture makers bill laberge and steve holman.
bill's tansu style cabinet, flanked by two paintings by pam marron, one of our favorite local painters.
and steve has a nice curly maple and walnut console table ready to go as well as an interesting 'mystery' piece that is apparently still in the works. the painting above steve's table is by cynthia rosen.
there are many other fine contemporary painters represented in the show, as well as a second floor, curated selection of paintings, quilts and furniture from the dorset historical society. there's something for everyone.
incredible realism from nancy howe russell. one of her 'painting a brighter future for women' series.
and there are some local scenes by penny viscusi, and many other local landscape painters like brian sweetland, andrew orr, the venerable arthur jones, georgine macgarvey, susan weiss, patty cambell, kathryn buchmayer, and others.
and there's fantastic art from the historical society on view in a second floor exhibition curated by john matthewson. above is a view of church street from 1925, by edwin child. doesn't look much different today.
we've also got a maple burl and steel coffee table on display and our bullseye chestnut mirror below. SOLD !!
this one is coming home with me if it doesn't sell at this show. it does not deserve to live in my very dusty office .. i almost forgot it was a mirror till i cleaned it off yesterday.
one more and a tv to go. the painters just placed them on the cleats and in the notches, we will glue them to the cleats when the last short shelf has its last coat of paint.
so ok, this was an interesting project. it's in the same house that we've been working on with the kitchen and the vanities. there are designers from florida involved and when they were last here, they spied a beam in the driveway that they liked. it had been removed from the original house during the remodel and we picked it up, took it back to the shop and scrubbed it off.
their idea was to place it on an angle, in the corner, and have thick shelves fitted to the existing notches. kit came into the shop while we were working on how to attach it to the floor and she said .. 'cool ! a totem pole ! '.. appropriate i thought. we taped three inch cardboard to the wall to get a feel for the length of the shelves in the space and then photoshopped the beam into the picture ... then we were ready ..
this is an early drawing. once we saw the cardboard, we extended the shelves on the left ..
the only way i knew to do this with no support on the ends is called 'torsion box' construction. essentially, you create a hollow honeycomb structure and when the top and bottom are glued to the frame, an absolutely rigid, stable shelf is created. you leave a hollow 'pocket' in the back of the structure for the cleat that goes on the wall and then glue the shelves to the cleat and prop them temporarily in place. next day, remove the props and voila! rigid, unsupported shelves. i once made a set of these 12' long with no supports on the ends and when i came back to remove the props the next day, the owner had beat me to it and loaded the entire 12' top shelf with encyclopedias and art books .. shocking, but no sags or calamities. it's a great technique.
to start, you need an absolutely planar substrate like the 3/4" melamine below. on that you fabricate the grids with no glue using staples on the joints. then you glue the tops, bottoms and mitered edges on. since these were too long for our veneer bag, we used cinder blocks for pressure while the glue was setting. worked fine.
we had two melamine spots so jim could work on the frames while i laid up the tops and bottoms and fitted the edges.
i did the bottom first, then the mitered edges and ends, then the top last.
it took a lot of mdf to make the grids and tops.
we shipped this one out to california last week ... per the client's request, it is a 24" x 48" coffee table version of our 'bridges' bench. i almost like it better than the original, and since it was completed, i have also had a request to interpret the design as a dining table base. i don't know if that will go through or not, but it could be interesting if it does ... scalable, i think is the word ... bench to a coffee table, to a dining table, to a ... a bridge? click the photos to enlarge them.
here's the original, from the bennington museum show, 'state of craft' .. 50 years of craft in vermont.
cad drawing .. we actually used the same form from the bench, which was the same height as the coffee table ..
we have a roof ... thanks to our friends matt conrad, jesse loomis and nat hill, we have a roof .. well, we've got to thank george dunnett, of vermont fancy hardwoods, too for delivering the 15 squares of nice purple slate. click the photos to enlarge them.
and, inside, we have some of our wires, and and we're hoping to get more, and a plumber before we can insulate and get the inside show on the road .. sam and i still have some work to do around the doors and windows, but we're hoping to get to a little of that over the weekend.
and a little siding too !
this weekend is the 'discover dorset' weekend in beautiful downtown dorset, vermont, population 2026, zero traffic lights. kit and i will be at janno's pottery (flower brook pottery, across from thepost office), with kit's jewelry and my portfolios and maybe a small piece of furniture. the dorset artists show will be open next to the union store, and will's band, goldtown, will be playing some bluegrass on the green from 7 to 10 in the evening. should all be fun .. come on by if you are in the area ..

Indomitable Lionesses As The Incarnation of The Cameroon Spirit
By Hafis Rüefli *
Hafis Rüefli
In a country starved of good news and exciting moments, the heroic performances of the female soccer national team of country added spark to life in Cameroon. From victory against Equator, to giving world champions Japan a rough time a and then defeating Switzerland, the Indomitable Lionesses got Cameroonians glued to TV sets watching their exploits.
Unfortunately, the hope generated by their brilliant run fizzled out with defeat at the hands of China in the second round. In defeat however, the performance of the Lionesses must be saluted. As usual it is the name of Cameroon that made news , it is the flag of Cameroon that flew high in Canada , but beyond the scenes, it was the same cacophony, incompetence and shear neglect that characterized the preparation of the team for the world cup.
From no worthy sparring partners, to the perennial problem of match bonuses, it was another miracle that the female National Team achieved what it did. Officials from the Ministry of Sports and the football federation on hefty per diems in Canada, and lots of hangers on, it was painful to know that the team was still unable to get its match bonuses .
Media reports even surfaced about threats from the team to boycott some of the games . Considering previous experiences, there is no guarantee the valiant ladies will ever get all their money. Money or no money, there put up a formidable fight, there displayed patriotism, there put country first and it is the example that all Cameroonians should learn from.
The valor of the ladies is what has characterized similar feats in the past. The exploit of the lions at the world cup in 1990, the Olympic goal medal win in Sydney Australia, Francois Mbango winning an Olympic goal despite little support from the country and others. Not long ago, the Olympic National team was in the Southern Africa region for an international game and a player was left behind in foreign land!, The cacophony is attaining ridiculous levels.
It is one thing if the resources are not there and it is another thing when the resources are there and the management is chaotic. If it is not shear incompetence, it is tribalism, it is corruption, it is greed with officials using public resources to fund families, girl friends and others whereas the main actors, the players who toil to bring the glory and treated with blatant disregard.Tournament after tournament it is the same tale.
Yet in a country that has produced global icons who could be effective Ambassadors of Cameroon on the international scene like Roger Milla, Samuel Eto'o, Thomas Nkono and others, the infrastructure remains in a pathetic state. Little is done to improve on the infrastructure yet unscrupulous officials feed fat off the resources generated by footballers, while politicians take pride in the glory there did little to contribute to.
It is a miracle that with the infrastructure that Cameroon has and the catastrophic management, sports men and women have continued to register great results. The tale of everyday Cameroonians is one of incredible resilience, it is one of amazing talents begging for the opportunity to excel and it is one of patriotic people contrary to inept leadership puts country first.
Like the ladies have shown us, it is also a tale of choices we make, by fate of by design, it is Enow Ngachu a Cameroonian who has been at the help of the team for over five years. Maybe the reason he stayed there for so long was because nothing was expected of te team. Starved of adequate resources, a weak league, and general apathy on the part of football authorities, Ngachu worked extremely to see the Ladies National team enjoy its recent run of success.
Will the feat achieved in Canada push the country to take feminine football more seriously? Would it push the sports authorities to be more serious in management and investment in the right infrastructure? The answers ought to be an emphatic yes to all questions except for the fact that we are talking about Cameroon.
In the mean time, while eyes were on focused on the world cup, the economic capital ,Douala, was getting inundated with floods of unprecedented proportions.Nature cannot be controlled but adequate town planning, better infrastructure, and more could mitigate the damage of such floods. Again the hope is that lessons are learned, and affected families given the necessary support to soothe their ache.
As for the female soccer national team, credit goes to them for reminding people of the abundance of talent that the country has. It is this talent that gives hope for a brighter future, and it is such talent that reminds us that once more that with the right leadership, Cameroon would regain its lost glory and once more be a leader in Africa.

Our aim at St Joseph's is to encourage students to develop an appreciation and understanding of the past, evaluating a range of primary and secondary sources. Our historians will also be able to explain clearly how these sources give us an insight into how people around the world used to live and how these interpretations may differ.
At St Joseph's RC Middle School we believe that a high quality history curriculum is essential to inspire pupils to have an independent curiosity and fascination for Britain's past and that of the wider world we live in. Through looking at how Britain has changed moving out of the Dark Ages, through the Middle Ages and out the other end of the Industrial Revolution, we hope to embed an understanding and curiosity about Britain and its history. We also hope to ensure that pupils make links with the wider world and how it has influenced and been influenced by Britain.
We aim to:
Give pupils a passion for the subject in and out of the classroom
Become increasingly critical and analytical thinkers
Possess a secure understanding of the chronology of ancient and modern civilisations and how they differ
Discover links and connections to the History they learn and the wider community and locality
Further their knowledge and explanations of change and continuity over time with regards to the history of the British Isles and other societies and epochs
Give pupils the experience of learning outside the classroom with trips to Hexham Abbey and the Great North Museum
Differentiate between source types and explain how interpretations in History may differ
Ensure that chronology is at the heart of every topic and that pupils are able to understand when important eras and events happen in relation to one another using physical timelines and bringing maths into the subject
Lessons and assessments planned to ensure that pupils are given an understanding of the different historical strands of enquiry and how they are assessed on them
Draw on similarities and differences within given time frames and across previously taught History
Engaged, inspired and enthusiastic historians who want to study history both in and out of school
Work completed to a high standard with many opportunities to show their knowledge and skills progression through extended written work
Children value the importance of knowing how Britain evolved through time and show an understanding of how Britain's democracy is structured today
Children's reading is of a high standard
We aim to build on this by:
Developing an increased awareness of the historical strands of enquiry
Chronologically chart Britain's development of democracy and Parliament
Understand the importance of challenging the provenance of information, evaluating different interpretations and
Ensure that pupils are KS4 ready and have a thirst to take the subject on further
Give pupils the experience of learning outside the classroom with trips to Warkworth Castle, Beamish and Killhope Lead Mine
Assessments developed in partnership with Hexham Middle, Corbridge Middle and Queen Elizabeth High School (QEHS) to ensure pupils are assessed on all the historical strands of enquiry using language and structure similar to that used in GCSEs
Topics to run chronologically to ensure pupils can build on their understanding of the cause and consequence of important historical events both domestically and world wide
Topics covered to run in parallel with other partnership middle schools as agreed with QEHS to ensure pupils are able to build on their knowledge and understanding of historical events and strands of historical enquiry
Pupils are given many opportunities to analyse sources and different interpretations of history and given the tools needed to begin to independently question them and develop their own interpretations of history
We will measure the impact of our History curriculum through the following methods:
Regular monitoring of children's work in books with feedback to move the pupil forward
Regular monitoring of children's development of their skills across the different strands of historical enquiry through formal assessments
Children's engagement in democratic procedures in school such as school and spiritual councillor elections as well as high demand for school's optional Citizenship residential to London
High percentage of pupils taking History as a subject in KS4

James Hormel
George A. Hormel
James C. Hormel, first openly gay U.S. ambassador, dies at 88
Chelsey Cox, USA TODAY
August 13, 2021, 7:19 PM ·4 min read
American philanthropist
American businessman
42nd president of the United States
James C. Hormel, the United States' first openly gay ambassador who was appointed to Luxembourg by former President Bill Clinton, died Friday in San Francisco at 88.
The philanthropist and AIDS activist died with his husband by his side and "listening to his favorite Beethoven concerto," the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Hormel was first nominated to ambassadorship by Clinton in 1997, but Senate Republicans blocked the nomination.
"We had the votes, and we tried to get a vote for two years," he told The Daily Beast in August 2020. "But Trent Lott, then the Senate majority leader, wouldn't bring it up, he absolutely refused."
Clinton re-nominated Hormel in 1999. He was granted a recess appointment as Ambassador to Luxembourg in June of that year, according to the State Department, and served in the role for nearly two years.
"The ultimate reason that I decided to go through what I went through is that it required Senate confirmation to send me out as a personal representative of the president," Hormel told The Chronicle in April.
His perseverance against homophobic attacks and advocacy for LGBTQ rights inspired a generation of young gay people, including Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Hormel was confirmed when Buttigieg was 17.
"I can remember watching the news… (and) seeing a story about an appointee of President Clinton named to be an ambassador attacked and denied a vote in the Senate because he was gay – ultimately able to serve only by a recess appointment," Buttigieg said when he accepted President Joe Biden's nomination for Transportation Secretary. "And I learned something about some of the limits that exist in this country when it comes to who is allowed to belong. But just as important, I saw how those limits could be challenged."
Homophobic attacks at home that led to "moments of depression and more moments of anger" were missing from his working relationship with a foreign country, Hormel told The Daily Beast.
"It was helpful to me because when I arrived in Luxembourg, the government was very sympathetic and really went out of their way to work with me. We had an excellent relationship," he said.
Prior to his ambassadorship, Hormel represented the U.S. in various capacities at United Nations conferences in the 1990s. He also participated in the President's Conference on the Pacific Rim in 1995.
Hormel was born in 1933 in Austin, Minnesota, the grandson of Hormel Foods founder George A. Hormel. He had five children with ex-wife, Alice McElroy Parker, whom he met while attending Swarthmore College. The couple divorced in 1965, The Chronicle reported.
Hormel earned a J.D. degree from the University of Chicago Law School. He later served as Assistant Dean and Dean of Students and established the James C. Hormel Public Service Program in 1986 to attract law students to public service.
The former ambassador had lived in San Francisco since 1977, according to The Chronicle. He was elected to the Board of Trustees of the World Affairs Council of Northern California in 1999.
Hormel also devoted his life to LGBTQ causes and developing resources for those affected by the AIDS virus. A founder of LGBTQ advocacy organization the Human Rights Campaign, Hormel worked on behalf of several local and national AIDS awareness groups, according to a press release from the organization.
Elected officials, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and San Francisco Mayor London Breed, remembered Hormel in statements Friday.
"San Francisco lost a great friend today. A philanthropist, civil rights pioneer and loving spouse and father, James Hormel lived an extraordinary life and will be deeply missed by many," Feinstein posted to Twitter.
"James Hormel cared deeply about supporting the community here in San Francisco, not only to advance the rights of LGBTQ people, but also to make a stronger and more welcoming city for all," Breed said, according to online publication SF Gate.
"Jim devoted his life to advancing the rights and dignity of all people, and in his trailblazing service in the diplomatic corps, he represented the United States with honor and brought us closer to living out the meaning of a more perfect union," the Clintons said in a joint statement, according to The Chronicle.
The paper reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. also remembered Hormel's contributions to the community.
"When the AIDS epidemic descended upon San Francisco, he called on our conscience and rallied the city to help our neighbors suffering from the ferocious disease." she said. "His work served as a model for national policy to defeat HIV/AIDS and improve the lives of all affected."
Hormel is survived by his husband, Michael P.N. Araque Hormel; children Alison, Anne, Elizabeth, Jimmy, and Sarah, 14 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Bypassing Senate confirmation, President Clinton moved Friday, June 4, 1999, to directly install Hormel as ambassador to Luxembourg. The president invoked a provision of the Constitution allowing him to make such appointments during a congressional recess. Hormel, who will become the first openly gay U.S. ambassador, can serve in the diplomatic post through the current session of Congress. (AP Photo/Randi Lynn Beach) ORG XMIT: NY127

Streatham has existed as a constituency since 1918, although since its incorporation into the London Borough of Lambeth in 1965 its boundaries have shifted eastwards.
Streatham comprises affluent suburbia in the southwestern corner of Lambeth; it was formerly part of the old borough of Wandsworth (the one that did not include Battersea). It also takes in parts of Clapham and Brixton in its northern reaches. The discovery of Streatham Wells was the primary motivator for expansion of the village into a Victorian retreat for City of London merchants. Like the rest of Lambeth it is ethnically diverse (58% white, 24% black) but not as much as Vauxhall. Due to house prices being so high, owner-occupation levels are as low as 39%, and private renters comprise 34% of the population. Streatham also has one of the highest proportion of degree holders in the country, at 46.6%, which is high even by Greater London standards. Not surprisingly it generated the highest Remain vote in the EU membership referendum of any UK parliamentary constituency, at 79.5%, beating even Bristol West.
Streatham was once a safe Conservative seat, and one of the few in the old County of London that was genuinely safely Conservative. Demographic change-yes, including the type that involved breaking up mansions into flats-and a substantial boundary change in 1983 that expanded it into parts of the abolished Lambeth Central constituency successively weakened the Conservatives' once solid hold, and in 1992 Keith Hill defeated Sir William (Bill) Shelton to become Streatham's first Labour MP. The Liberal Democrats became increasingly competitive and in 2010 reduced the Labour majority to just 3,259. The Liberal Democrats' time in coalition cost them dearly in seats like this and they dropped to 9% in 2015, barely ahead of the Greens' Jonathan Bartley. Notable moderate Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who at times was considered a potential future leader of the Labour Party, pushed the down the Liberal Democrat vote particularly heavily, and ironically he joined the Liberal Democrats himself after a brief time in Change UK. Mr Umunna made a valiant effort in the Cities of London & Westminster under his new colours but lost,and Bell Ribeiro-Addy became Labour MP in his place; in 2019 the Liberal Democrats made a substantial comeback and recovered second place but this remains a safe Labour seat for the foreseeable future. At a local level, most of the councillors here are Labour with the exception of a solitary Conservative councillor in Clapham Common and 3 Green councillors in St Leonard's (which incidentally has elected Labour councillors just once in its history); these Green councillors include the aforementioned Mr Bartley who has been Green Party co-leader since 2016, and Scott Ainslie, who served as Green MEP for London for 8 months until Britain exited the EU on 31 January 2020.

The colonization of Streatham by black families has a lot to do with the political change here, as well as the general change in attitudes of younger better educated middle class people of all ethnic origins, who have dominated those moving into pleasant "halfway out" London suburbs for years. There has been considerable self-selection, according to social and political attitudes, as to where people move to, once they have a choice and can afford to do so. This is perhaps not quite so marked in London as it is in Birmingham, because of the skewed social and economic structure in London, but it is real.

I can't remember if it was Owen Jones or Andrew Fisher but one of them wrote a brief story about the selection process. Chuka won on 2nd preferences I understand from the lefts candidate
that's actually correct. He backed Ed Miliband against his brother. His trajectory then went rightwards from about 2014 onwards.
I'm currently rewatching coverage of 2012 locals he's fairly critical of Hollande, this is just after he was elected and introduced a wealth tax, etc. before his tournant de la rigueur

God, to think of the days when people would tout Hollande. When even a cursory look at his entire history should have put them off. I remember a woman on Question Time ranting about how we needed to listen to "Francis Olandi", who I eventually worked out was Flanby himself.
