MASSIVE VOODOO: Blood Angels army for sale!
You know... sometimes you just have to get rid of something that blocks your head and feels like a chain on your foot holding you from freedom.
For me such a thing is my Blood Angels army.
I really love them, i invested countless hours converting, painting, assembling and giving my heart and sweat to those little fellas.
But now i really don't have the muse to play with them anymore.
I want to concentrate myself on pure display painting and there is no space for an army.
Today i photographed everything i want to sell.
There are 30 Kommentare for Blood Angels army for sale!
1) You'll never get what they should be worth to you. Armies give a diminishing return on eBay over single models.
2) Some day, one or two or three years from now you'll want to play 40K again. Even if only a casual pick up game. Then you'll shed a tear over that army you once had.
3) How many people can boast a fully painted army to that standard? That's something to hold and cherish. It's a badge of honor. An AMAZING achievement. Put it in a display case and it should make you feel better every time you look at it.
4) Despite GW's constant frittering around with the rules and models I'd still be able to use those models I sold off some ten years ago.
If you must sell it, don't sell it as an army. You'll get more money if you break it up into parts and sell off each squad and character individually.
I must say I totally agree with Glen Murie: if you can help it, don't sell it!
Such an unique army, with all those conversions, large and small, plus the great individual touch you've given each and every miniature in the army.. I dont claim to be clairvoiant or nothing, but I believe you'll regret it if you sell it.
So unless you desperately need money (which I believe you wrote you didn't), hold on to it, loan it out to some minature store or something if you've got space problems.
I believe it's one thing to paint up a miniature, with a sale at the end planned from the beginning, but something completely different to sell something so personal as an army you've fought with - both in games and on the painting table.
But thank you for sharing the pictures! I do not have any Blood Angel army myself, but my Space Hulk miniatures sorely needs paint, and this has proven to be a good boost of inspiration and motivation to keep going.
That is the most beautiful Blood Angels army I have ever seen!
I'd agree with the above. Definitely keep it! I'm building a space wolves army right now and i know how much effort I've put into it so far, and its not half the size of yours yet.
PS. When building your army were you painting one at a time or in batches? roughly how long per model? i feel that at the rate I'm going it'll never get done as i am going at it one at a time!
One of the best painted armys ive ever seen. If you dont really need to dont sell it plz.
Yea, this army really rocks.
But I like the way you chose, if you say you want to concentrate on painting not on gaming.
Gorgeous army to say the least! It definitely would be a shame to sell em off and never really know if each piece is receiving the care and attention that it deserves whether on display or on the battle field. The weathering is my favorite by far with the muddy grime carefully splattered among ever troop! How did you go about getting those mud effects on your vehicles wheels and tracks!? Superb work!
nice army, i agree with those guys who try to convince you to keep your army. its too good to sell. if you dont have the space for it. put it into a box and store it away somewhere.
ps: is that real mud on the tanks??
Cool and nice army Raffa, pitty its not my colour scheme chapter (Flesh Tearers) ;-) and that I can´t make any offer that is enough to buy and save that excellent army from getting ripped apart cause I think this is going to happen if you´re still going to sell it ;-( such a shame but I respect your will to get rid of ´em...I couldn´t do that.
I am with Raffa on this one, sometimes you just ave to get rid of stuff and make room inside your mind.
A very pure and strong decision like the one Raffa made about selling the army, deserves lots of respect imo as it comes from the heart and not the wallet.
You have my best wishes on selling them to a good price.
They all look pretty good. Can`t say anything useful about to sell minis because iself also haven`t got problems to give my minis away. It is like Mati says: It makes room inside ones mind.
Get rid of those miniatures! I think there will be somebody else to take good care of them and admire your paintjob.
I agree with Mati, it's necessary freeing your mind of all those miniatures standing around somewhere without real attention.
For sure: Only sell for the right price!
Hm i painted them in batches from 5-20 miniatures (although the 20 mini batch was a hell to bite throug)... i needed around 3-4 hours for each fella.
Ive just scrolled through this from a link on BaC and I want to say that is the best painted army I have ever seen.
This may be in the complete wrong are of your forum/blog, but how do you paint that blue hue coming off the plasma gun?
Is this still up for sale? If it is how much is it because it looks great, oh well I don't think I can get it with my low budget.
Are you still for sale? how much are you trying to get for it?
The army is as good as sold for 2500 Euro including an additional Rhino and a Baal Predator and Transport Cases.
These are amazing. I love how you'd painted various parts glowing! It's sad that you're selling them!
Well any il buy the army name a price!
Honestly, you REALLY need to put up a tutorial or something. The paint job of these Blood Angels is bloody (excuse the pun) beautiful.
I would love to buy these if still available.
I'm sorry to tell you they're already sold.
I am STARTING warhammer 40k from scratch on the easter holidays and i really need some tips on how to paint the blood angels to make them look good.
How do you do the mud on the motorbikes/rhino and the black dirt on your soldiers legs ? I really want to reproduce this on my dark angels army.
You're Blood Angels are totally awesome, hope you will not regret to sell it.
Sir, you inspire me to now paint my Titan Angels with insignia and borders like your terminators. It gives a bland model unique details to individualise them.
Thank you for posting your army!

Q: Database design adding multiple item I am designing a database using MySQL Workbench for a clinic where each patient can see multiple doctors in each visit.
The table of patient is:
patient_id

patient_name

patient_address

patient_phone

The visit table:
visit_id

patient_id

doctor_id

visit_result

medicament_id

The problem is sometimes the patient in each visit may take multiple medicament in a prescription.
How can I incorporate this in the design ?
I tried to add all the medicament in the same line:

Per example: 1, 4, 34.

But I can't do an SQL query later to see how many patient were given the medicament of the respective ID.
And the same thing if the patient saw multiple doctors in the same visit.
Extra info:
medicament_table:
medicament_id

medicament_name

medicament_expiry

medicament_quantity

A: You can create a join table between visits and medicaments that will tell you which meds were prescribed during which visit.
visit_id
medicament_id

As for multiple doctors per visit, perhaps a visit date would suffice. Other than that, you can introduce a concept of a "clinic visit" where you could aggregate multiple doctor appointments.

Sublime Text has got to be one of the most popular text editors out there for coding. Although still in beta, Sublime Text 3 is a relatively stable and very usable. I've personally been using it for over 2 years now both at work and at home. It's sophisticated, lightweight and easy to use. It also works on all the major platforms: Windows, OSX and Linux.
Sublime Text is not quite an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), but with the installation of a handful of packages/plugins you can really make it the ideal editor for developing PHP in.
There are some great packages out there for Sublime Text to help PHP developers improve quality of code and workflow. These are what I consider the essential packages for developing PHP in Sublime Text 3.
First up is Package Control. Why this doesn't come pre-installed I do not know. I suspect the majority of Sublime Text users will already have this installed, but if not get it now; it will make the installation of all the other packages listed here (and many more) extremely simple. It's like the equivalent of apt-get or homebrew if you're familiar with them. Rather than having to download manually or git clone packages to your Packages folder you can simply install (and remove) packages via the Command Palette.
Once you start using Package Control you will wonder how you survived without it!
Every developer makes the occasional typo; forgetting to close some brackets, missing off a semi-colon, etc.. To help avoid these mistakes we can use a linter. SublimeLinter provides a framework for linting. The linters themselves are distributed separately as additional packages; for PHP you will want SublimeLinter-php which provides an interface to php -l for checking syntax.
Well written code should use a consistent coding standard, i.e. type of indentation, naming conventions, use of whitespace, bracket placement, etc.. Whatever standard you are working to, phpcs will help you to conform to them.
Unlike the other packages this one requires a handful of external libraries and some configuration to get it working; you will need PHP CodeSniffer, PHP CodeSniffer Fixer, and PHP Mess Detector. Install these libraries and set their execution paths in the phpcs settings in Sublime and you should be good to go.
When you attempt to save a file it will sniff out any issues with the file's styling. PHP Mess Detector will check for things like potential bugs, over-complicated expressions and redundant code.
You can define the coding standard you want to develop against in the package's setting. Popular standards like PSR-2 and Zend are available, plus many custom ones like CakePHP that can be installed and configured.
EditorConfig provides a way of maintaining some coding style consistency between different editors and IDEs. This is particularly valuable when collaborating with others, some of whom may not be using Sublime Text to code with. Styles for a project are defined in a .editorconfig file which can then be read by the text editor/IDE and enforce them. This is useful for defining tab styles and line endings among other things. Most editors have plugins available to support EditorConfig including Atom, Coda, PhpStorm and, of course, Sublime Text.
You can find out more about EditorConfig and what you can define in the .editorconfig file over on the official website. Details of the Sublime Text EditorConfig package can be found on GitHub.
Good code should be well documented. PHPDoc is a pretty much universally accepted means of doing this in PHP; although many developers find documenting their code tedious. DocBlockr simplifies the process of adding PHPDoc (and JSDoc) comments by autocompleting /** by pressing Enter or tab taking away some of the pain.
This is a really simple little package that displays the current function that the cursor is placed in the status bar at the bottom (next to the line number).
If you're working with Git, Mercurial, or SVN then VCS Gutter is a handy package for adding visual clues as to what has changed in a file since the last commit. It will show a small icon in the gutter to indicate what has been added, modified or deleted.
One slight issue I've found with this package is that if you want to view a large log file in Sublime it can slow the responsiveness of the editor considerably. In these cases I tend to temporarily disable VCS Gutter using Package Control.
Those are my seven essential packages for developing PHP in Sublime Text 3. What do you use? Feel free to contribute your suggestions in the comments below.
Thanks a lot! This helped much.

Is Anyone Surprised by These Woodward Revelations?
You can see Kate Riga's run-down of some of the most jarring revelations of the new Woodward book on Trump here. She has other morsels here in Livewire.
I wanted to make a more general point. These anecdotes, quotes and revelations are gobsmacking, jarring, bizarre. But it takes nothing away from the feat of reporting or the labor to bring these details into the light of day to say that really none of this is surprising. There's not one thing I've read so far that couldn't be inferred from President Trump's twitter feed or his public statements – in press conferences, impromptu availabilities and the campaign rallies he still holds while serving as President.
In some cases, he has literally said these things in public. He certainly shows the abusive, aggressive behavior so pervasively that it amounts to his brand. He is an habitual, compulsive, comical liar. He lacks any moral compass. He is thoroughly, indeed militantly ignorant.
I say all these things merely to make the point that it is astonishing that the country has allowed this clownish hustler to remain President for almost two years. Even if President Trump were somewhat normal in policy terms, whether on immigration, civil rights, trade, alliances, etc and even if he hadn't conspired with a foreign government to get elected he still wouldn't be remotely equipped to be President. And yet here we are. Some will act surprised.

Life Is Hell for Tenants of Giant D.C. Slumlord Sanford Capital
And taxpayers are subsidizing the company.
by Alexa Mills and Andrew Giambrone February 2nd, 2017 August 29th, 2020
A bed at G Street Apartments Credit: Darrow Montgomery
Warren Branham looked at his 38-year-old brother lying on a hospital bed at the decrepit G Street Apartments last Friday. "He's been hospitalized twice because of the ventilation," Branham said. Steps away, their refrigerator was dead—room-temperature inside. The apartment smelled like mold and thousands of decaying cockroaches. His brother suffered a stroke as a baby and seizures as a child, Branham explained.
Twenty-four hours later, Branham's brother was rushed to the hospital a third time. Again, Branham blamed the ventilation. "My baby is dying," his mother sobbed over the phone from a waiting room at Washington Hospital Center. She said doctors had resuscitated him four times, but he was flatlining. He was dead within two hours.
And yet, freshly refurbished first-floor units stand empty at G Street Apartments. Branham and his family were stuck on the second floor, forcing Branham to carry his brother up and down stairs to get to doctor appointments. But tenants say the landlord has explained that these units are reserved for new, market-rent residents.
At least six other units are vacant and unsecured. Inside they are smeared with feces, littered with condoms. In one unit there's a burn mark on the carpet. "I put out a fire there about three months ago," says Timothy Harper, a former maintenance worker.

Harper says he kept G Street Apartments nice back when he took care of them. But his mandate gradually changed. For him, the most stunning moment came when the boiler broke. He was down in the basement with his boss, Todd Fulmer. A contractor explained the options. "The contractor said, 'I can put a brand new boiler in here and save you $5,000 over rebuilding this one completely, and have it fixed in a week,'" Harper recalls. "Then Todd said, 'No. Just rebuild it.'" This process would take months.
Which meant residents there didn't have heat beyond ineffective space heaters for the winter of 2015. Some of them still don't have heat. "My oven is what I use to heat my home," says Karen Hamilton. "And I have a 6-year-old daughter."
This is not an isolated story. Mold, vermin, broken refrigerators and toilets, children and elderly living without heat and air conditioning, units open to vagrants no matter how many times tenants complain—these are standard conditions at buildings owned by Sanford Capital, the company that owns G Street Apartments and at least 16 other D.C. properties, amounting to hundreds of units across the city.
Sanford Capital has been buying apartment complexes that are home to the city's working poor for more than a decade. In extensive reporting on the company's practices, City Paper found that Sanford employs a systematic strategy for allowing buildings to become so squalid that residents are forced to leave. The company also files for evictions in bulk.
In some cases, Sanford has rushed to replace the modest rents of the working poor with those of very low-income people who hold government-issued vouchers set at similar or higher rates—the District footing the bulk of the rent bill and ensuring a guaranteed stream of revenue for the company. In other cases, when a property is more valuable to a future developer vacant, Sanford has left buildings with only a handful of tenants who can't or won't move. And at Tivoli Gardens—a complex predominantly occupied by Spanish speakers, some of whom pay more than $1,300 a month for one-bedroom apartments—Sanford keeps occupancy high while letting the property rot. Not a single outer door at Tivoli Gardens locks.
Meanwhile, an alphabet soup of city government agencies, nonprofits, and the D.C. courts have become Sanford Capital's de facto babysitters. The company makes few repairs on its properties unless fined or ordered to do so. And even then, the repairs often break within days or weeks.
"Any Sanford property—you just walk into it and you know what it's going to look like," says Caroline Hennessy, tenant services coordinator at Housing Counseling Services, a D.C. advocacy organization funded in part by local and federal dollars. She has worked with tenants at five different Sanford properties, while her organization's staff as a whole has worked on at least eight over the years.
According to D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA), Sanford has amassed nearly $150,000 worth of fines since 2009 across 26 addresses. The agency says it administers "proactive and complaint-based" inspections by building, not by landlord, and therefore the 26 addresses may not represent all of Sanford's violations. DCRA adds that Sanford has paid nearly $98,000 of the fines, with the balance either overdue or not yet due.
And that's not all. D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine filed a lawsuit against Sanford Capital in October, seeking a court-appointed receiver to oversee a rehabilitation plan for Terrace Manor, a Sanford property in Southeast. Racine is also asking the company to abate housing code violations and for restitution of rents tenants paid while Sanford was illegally neglecting apartments.

In other words, the city is simultaneously enriching and suing Sanford. The District's Department of Human Services says there are 114 households currently living in Sanford properties and receiving rent subsidies from programs that the agency administers. In addition, the D.C. Housing Authority says that at least 225 of its voucher clients are now living in Sanford properties. Estimating conservatively that vouchers average $1,000—some are more, some are less, and they depend on family income, among other factors—Sanford is being paid about $340,000 a month, or $3.7 million a year, by District and federal programs.
The Terrace Manor lawsuit isn't the first that Racine has lodged against Sanford. It followed one last January over a Sanford property located above the Congress Heights Metro station. The first case precipitated the second. When Terrace Manor tenant Monica Jackson attended a hearing for Congress Heights tenants, she was amazed.
"I listened to the tenants, and it was like they were telling my story," Jackson says. "Everything they were saying that they were experiencing—I was experiencing the same thing."
The Sanford-owned buildings in Congress Heights had many of the same problems as Terrace Manor and the company's other properties. Of 47 units at Congress Heights, 32 were vacant as of the suit's filing, several years after Sanford acquired the rent-controlled site. The company had planned to redevelop it with D.C.-based City Partners into a mixed-use project to feature more than 200 modern apartments and commercial space. (Those plans were displayed on Sanford's website. While they are still available on the D.C. Zoning Commission website, Sanford's own site was deactivated shortly after the lawsuit was filed.)
Meanwhile EagleBank, whose website boasts it's "taking care of our communities," has provided Sanford Capital and its partners more than $46 million in loans to purchase District properties. And last year, it increased Sanford's loan on Terrace Manor by $2.4 million. This was after the attorney general sued Sanford over Congress Heights and The Washington Post published photos of that waste-strewn property in an article about the lawsuit. The bank provided the additional funding despite the fact that a provision in the original loan agreement for Terrace Manor, which by then was in desperate condition, mandates that Sanford "keep and maintain the Improvements and the Equipment in good condition," and "make all necessary or appropriate repairs, improvements, replacements and renewals."

Aubrey Carter Nowell co-founded Sanford in 2006, and he has been the company's one consistent leader over the last 11 years. His 7,956-square-foot Bethesda home sits on an ample, well-landscaped lawn. He bought the house, which is valued at $2.9 million and has eight bathrooms, with his wife around the time he founded the company.
Tenants and attorneys City Paper interviewed describe Nowell as reserved, even poker-faced. "He's very quiet. Always the same," says Jackson, who has met Nowell at tenant meetings and court hearings. Says Hennessy, "I've never seen him get visibly upset or agitated."
Neither Nowell nor Fulmer, who heads Sanford's property management arm, responded to calls and emails requesting interviews.
Racine says that, especially amid a citywide affordability crisis, the lawsuits aim to bolster deterrence against negligence by D.C. landlords. "We were able to put together a pretty simple case that showed a consistent record of housing violations that were not getting abated," Racine says of Congress Heights. "And there was a little bit of a cat-and-mouse game where maybe 10 conditions were abated, another 15 would appear. It seemed as though the tenants were kind of getting jerked around."
The Congress Heights litigation resulted in an abatement agreement requiring Sanford to repair maintenance problems recorded by District inspectors within specific time parameters, to regularly inspect abandoned units, and to provide security across the buildings. The case is pending while a judge monitors Sanford's compliance. It has also thrown a wrench into the site's redevelopment plans.
Before the suit was filed, Congress Heights tenant Tujuanda Blalock says she was forced to defecate in a bucket for a few days after her toilet broke in July 2015. "What our landlords should have to do is live in one of their buildings for a certain amount of time," says Blalock, who called the property's rental office and maintenance line half a dozen times, leaving messages. "I was so humiliated about having to use that bucket." After five days a maintenance man made a temporary fix, but the toilet still didn't always flush. Someone came to fix it properly about six months later, after the attorney general sued.
"The only way you can get them to do something is when the judge gets them to do it," says Blalock.

Ernestine Turner, an elderly Terrace Manor resident, remembers a time when she was not so ashamed of where she lives. She recalls smelling the roses—actual roses—in the bushes downstairs from her apartment. As wretched as her surroundings have become since Sanford took over her building, Turner has made her unit a kind of sanctuary from the outside world. Small figurines—a frosted glass swan, a blue dolphin—are among her cherished tchotchkes. A lifetime of framed family photos cover her walls.
These days only about a dozen units at Terrace Manor remain occupied, the apartments shells of their former selves. When Sanford bought the property in 2012, more than 50 of the property's 61 units were occupied. The on-site rental office is now boarded up.
"We really wanted to believe" Sanford would improve the property, Turner says. "My daughter kept saying, 'It's going to be OK.'" It wasn't.
Sanford made a series of changes after purchasing the property. Workers removed the benches that sat outside each building's front door. They razed the little playground and replaced it with a Terrace Manor sign. Gradually, the laundry rooms closed. Heat and air conditioning broke down. Tenants began moving out in droves.
"It's like ghostville now," says Monica Jackson, president of Terrace Manor's tenant association. She is one of two tenants in her building, and her sister Pamela is the only tenant in the adjacent building. Monica says she pays $874 a month in rent, while her sister pays $990.
Eventually their building doors stopped locking. "You would find people asleep, doing drugs," Monica says. "You'd have to run them out of the building. We would ask, 'Do you live here?'" She and her sister would find evidence of squatters in the basement.
"Feces and urine and drugs," says Monica.

Before the purchase, Sanford and Terrace Manor's tenant association signed a legal document known as a "memorandum of understanding," spelling out upgrades and repairs that were to be completed, so "all buildings and units [would be] in compliance with the D.C. housing code" within half a year of closing. The parties met and reviewed the tenants' bullet-point needs.
"I remember [Nowell] specifically saying, 'We've done our research and we know what needs to be done,'" Monica Jackson recalls.
Former Terrace Manor "community manager" Richard Horchner worked there in 2014 and 2015 as the property declined. "When they say that Sanford Capital is a slumlord—for some of the buildings, yes they are," Horchner says.
"From the time I started, all I was told is that Terrace Manor was going to be sold," he says. "So I took care of the residents that were there, but that was all I could do. I was not permitted to move anybody in." Horchner says he wasn't allowed to perform major maintenance work either. Fix a broken stove or replace a light bulb? Yes. Address a chronic leak in the basement? No.
Only government enforcement seemed to spur maintenance. "The urgency to get anything done before a citation just wasn't there," Horchner says. "Once there was a citation, it all went to hell. Like everybody was screaming, scrambling. I had to work nonstop."
Two years later, Terrace Manor still hasn't been sold. But a buyer recently expressed interest. In June, D.C.-based real estate firm Equilibrium and Sanford drew up a contract, obtained by City Paper, that lists a purchase price of $5.9 million. Dan Crosby, the buying broker on the deal, is a former Sanford property manager and stands to make roughly $176,000 in commission on the sale. (Crosby did not respond to requests for comment.) But the tenant association has decided to seek an alternative buyer.
Equilibrium managing director Sofonias Astatke says his firm heard through its "agent network" that Sanford wanted to unload the site and also that he met Nowell briefly in 2016 to discuss the property. The deal is in a "holding pattern," he says. If the transaction goes through, Terrace Manor would become Equilibrium's biggest D.C. project.
Although the property "is not in good shape," Astatke says, "it has a lot of potential." Terrace Manor might not be right on top of a Metro station, but its size and mix of unit types make it rare.
"The price for the asset is higher when there are fewer tenants in there," says American University professor Derek S. Hyra, who spent six years researching the redevelopment of Shaw and U Street for his forthcoming book Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City. He sees all the signs of development pressure in and around Congress Heights. "When there becomes more of a population demand for the area, the landlords and the owners are going to look to get out the low-income population that are living in these buildings."

Sanford Capital has only owned Belmont Crossing for 16 months, but the similarities to Terrace Manor are striking. Sanford removed the playground and benches and cut down trees. Beverly Wright, president of the Belmont Crossing Tenants Association, says residents also receive notices on their doors. "The fliers said we would be fined and given a 30-day notice for eviction for sitting outside," says Wright.
Oakmont Management, which is Sanford's building management arm, has filed 95 eviction cases for failure to pay rent at Belmont Crossing—a 275-unit complex. It filed 49 of these evictions in one day alone, just three months after purchasing the property. Most of these eviction filings were for amounts over $1,000.
"They close the rental office any time they feel like, even if it's rent time," Wright says. "And if you miss a payment, you're late, and you have to pay a fee." She says the fee is $20 for anything beyond five days late. Late fees are $100 for some other Sanford properties.
The locks are broken on the outer doors of nearly every building. In November, when a maintenance man came to fix the lock at one building, a minor crisis ensued. Anabell Brown, who has lived there for 13 years, heard her neighbor struggling with that outer door. Management had issued the neighbor a new key, but it wouldn't work. Brown had an old key stored away, so she tried it, and it worked.
But when the woman brought the maintenance man back to show him how the new key didn't work, he solved the problem by breaking the very fix he'd just installed. "He just took a screwdriver and pulled this back," says Brown, pointing to the metal plate on her building door, "and it's been like this ever since."
If Belmont Crossing goes the way of Terrace Manor and Congress Heights, it will soon be near empty. But the property may also go in the direction of Oak Hill Apartments, where Sanford has filled vacant units with tenants who come with guaranteed full-market rent via government-issued vouchers or are receiving aid from human services agencies.

Diane Wilson is back in class getting her high school diploma. But before living at Oak Hill, a multi-building complex Sanford Capital owns on Wheeler Road SE, she spent two months at D.C. General, the District's largest family homeless shelter. Both are falling apart.
"D.C. General was faster than these people," says Wilson, who's lived at Oak Hill for nine years. There hasn't been a lock on her building's front door since 2015. Fire extinguishers go missing, the result, Wilson says, of youth who have walked into the buildings and sprayed them all over.
"People sleeping in the hall, having sex in the laundry room," recounts the D.C. native who grew up in Northwest. "We've written letter after letter after letter to Sanford. There are no lights on the parking lot—that's been three years. A young lady almost got raped out there."
Wilson's oven and a garbage disposal have been broken for weeks, and she has had to spend her own money to spray for bedbugs.
Recently her toilet backed up, and although Sanford sent someone to plunge it right away, the next day her building's water was off, with no communication from management. "They leave notes when they're going up on the rent, or when you're late for your payment," she says. The shutoff happened, Wilson says, because sewage had flooded the rental office downstairs.
Never mind the birds—or squirrels—that have found their way into her building's walls, died, and putrefied. Wilson recalls that Oak Hill has had four different property managers since she moved there and says fights in the rental office between tenants and management staff are common.
And just Monday, firefighters were dispatched to put out an electrical fire at Oak Hill inside the walls of a building. While no residents were injured, a firefighter was treated for an unspecified medical condition, according to D.C. officials. A number of tenants were also displaced because the gas had to be turned off, and the Red Cross arrived to help them find temporary accommodations.
Sanford has owned Oak Hill since 2006, when it bought the complex for $6 million. Wilson moved there after exiting the shelter system. She had seen the complex while walking her daughter to school and was drawn by its balconies. Rent-assistance programs helped Wilson pay her bills. As of today, her rent is $1,150 a month for a two-bedroom unit that she shares with her husband. "I wouldn't mind paying it if they kept it up," she says.
Many residents in Sanford's properties receive housing vouchers or other forms of rent assistance that are bankrolled by taxpayers. A 2016 email from a Department of Human Services staffer to the attorney general's office—sent after the Congress Heights suit was filed—states that 170 of the agency's homeless services clients were "being housed in units owned and or managed by Sanford Capital."
"In addition," the staffer wrote, "there are three DHS homeless families that are currently occupying units that are part of the lawsuit."
Advocates say Sanford accepts formerly homeless and low-income voucher tenants because the company is guaranteed to make money from them, at least for the duration of the benefits those tenants receive. The District's rapid rehousing program, for example, helps people move into more stable environments than shelters, but the subsidy is time-limited so some landlords are reluctant to welcome participants. Nonprofits have even praised Sanford's willingness to house people transitioning out of homelessness. In 2015, two of them sent letters to D.C.'s Zoning Commission in support of the company's plans to redevelop its Congress Heights property.
Christy Respress, executive director of Pathways to Housing DC, which submitted one of the letters in support of Sanford, says her organization currently has fewer than 50 clients who live in Sanford properties. Respress adds that Pathways does not run a rapid rehousing program but does act "like a broker" for D.C. Housing Authority clients looking for landlords who accept vouchers. "It's just harder and harder to find decent and affordable housing in the District," she says.
Clarence Stewart, chief of housing at The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness, wrote to zoning officials that Sanford had housed "more than 300 individuals and families" as part of the organization's supportive services programs since 2008. He called the company a "leading landlord partner." (Stewart did not respond to requests for comment.)

For Yvette Oakley, an Oak Hill resident who receives a housing voucher that covers the $1,115 in monthly rent for her one-bedroom unit, the past three years have been a series of challenges. She initially lived in a unit where the heat often went out and where there was no air conditioning. Instead, Oakmont provided her and her daughter three fans in the summer.
In her former unit, when a voucher didn't cover her entire rent, Oakley got $1,500 behind on her rent. Sanford sued to evict her while she was waiting to be transferred to a more habitable unit on the premises. Her father eventually paid off the debt.
"I was surprised they were doing this because I told them I've been in here suffering, sleeping with extra blankets and stuff, cold," notes Oakley, who has a hip problem. Her daughter's old bedroom was infested with bedbugs.
She wishes she had a handicap rail in her bathroom to help her get in and out of the shower, but beyond that wants Sanford's maintenance crews to keep up the property.
"I've been considering moving, but when you get a certain age, the only way I move is if I get put out or they close these apartments down," she says. "Some [people] are moving in. I saw them moving in, but they just don't know they're moving into something where they may have problems once they get in." Oakley says her current building is the only one on the site where the front door securely locks.
Given the rents they pay and the number of buildings at Oak Hill, residents question where their money is going. Says Wilson, "You ain't gonna tell me they don't have money to do what they need to do."
Though Oak Hill is not the subject of litigation by the attorney general's office, Wilson's neighbor Joann Graves, who has lived at the property for 15 years and once served as the secretary of the site's now-disbanded tenant association, says it should be. "We need to get some real property management over here," says Graves, who characterizes the living conditions as "deplorable."

At Tivoli Gardens, about a half-mile walk from Metro's Fort Totten station, the vacancy rate is low. The majority of the residents speak only Spanish, and the average rent is about $1,120 a month for small one-bedroom units, according to a June 2016 rent roll for the property.
On a rainy Sunday afternoon in January, water was streaming off the roof into a puddle about five inches deep along the building wall. A few steps away, the trash dumpsters were overflowing—at least 15 bags on the ground. A box spring, a comfy chair, a grocery cart, and a pile of old and splintered wood lay on one side. Resident Esmerelda Posadas estimates the box spring has been resting on the dumpster for two years.
Caroline Hennessy, who works with Tivoli residents through her job as a tenant advocate, recently emailed Sanford's property management arm with photos of water damage on the ceiling and walls of a tenant's bathroom, and was taken aback by the response from Sanford's Todd Fulmer.
She implored Fulmer to consider a permanent fix instead of just "patchwork repairs."
Mold at G Street Apartments Credit: Darrow Montgomery
Ten minutes later, Fulmer replied. "It's just the units where tenants wash and hang there cloths to dry," he wrote. "All that moisture from the cloth evaporates into the air and has to go somewhere. Which is the floors and walls. We have notified tenants numerous times but they continue to do it over and over." He offered to make a drywall repair "for the last time" but predicted tenants would continue to hang their laundry "because it free and the laundry mats cost $."
Posadas, who has small children, says she was most baffled when workers came to repave the complex parking lot. "Of all the things they could have fixed, the parking lot was the least of our concerns," she says.
"The thing we think is the most dangerous, the most nasty, is the infestations. I've seen silverfish, I've seen roaches, I've seen bedbugs, I've seen spiders. I have an economy-sized bug repellent in my apartment, and I go over everything," says Posadas. "And that doesn't count the mice. There's a stray cat problem here, and we feed them because of the rat problem."
Elias Hernandez took a video of four mice as they died on a sticky pad in his apartment. He and his wife are currently fighting eviction with the help of a legal aid attorney.
Like Terrace Manor, Tivoli Gardens is for sale. Attorney Eric Rome is representing the tenants in their effort to choose a developer that will revive the property, which is their right under the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, or TOPA. "Over 30 years and hundreds of buildings, it is one of the worst that I've ever seen," says Rome, a veteran TOPA attorney. "It shows an utter neglect by the owner and a disregard for the conditions the tenants are living in."

Slumlords have long been a District staple. In 2008, Interim Attorney General Peter Nickles filed a lawsuit against 23 landlords for practices similar to Sanford's. Many of these landlords lived in opulent houses while their tenants lived in squalor. Several of them had even spent time in jail for various white-collar crimes, including housing-related scams, before returning to real estate development.
Sanford has been consistent in its D.C. practices for a decade. Bread for the City attorney Rebecca Lindhurst began working with Oak Hill tenants in 2007 after a person claiming to represent Sanford went around the buildings offering tenants $1,500, and later $5,000, to move out of their rent-controlled units. Residents complained that sewage was backing up in their tubs and sinks and began to move out. Sanford had purchased the building a year earlier. Now Bread for the City is working on the Terrace Manor case, representing the remaining tenants in their TOPA matter.
"Where the misunderstanding comes in, for the general public, is to think that Sanford is a one-off, that Sanford is somehow unique," says Will Merrifield, staff attorney at the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless who represents the tenants association at Congress Heights. "Sanford is the norm," Merrifield says. "What makes Sanford exposed is that the tenants stood up and fought."
Merrifield says that Nowell's primary distinction may be his brazenness. "Sanford thought they could come at it with a sledgehammer and thought they wouldn't be challenged in their behavior," Merrifield says. Other landlords, he says, are simply more sophisticated in their approach.
Sanford has assumed millions of dollars in debt, taking out multiple mortgages on some of its D.C. properties. Bethesda-based EagleBank has been a major Sanford lender in the District, providing loans for G Street Apartments, Terrace Manor, Tivoli Gardens, and a building at Congress Heights.
Despite liens and lawsuits, City Paper found no evidence that EagleBank or other lenders have foreclosed on any of Sanford's D.C. properties. In some cases, EagleBank has already been paid in full. Basis Real Estate Capital II has loaned Sanford about $41 million, and Centerline Mortgage Capital Inc. at least another $17.4 million for Sanford's D.C. properties.

On Sunday, the morning after his brother died, Warren Branham created a GoFundMe page with a goal of $5,000 to cover the funeral costs. He says his mom wasn't at home and was staying with family. "She didn't want to wake up and see her son not in the bed."
The previous Thursday, D.C. Superior Court Judge John M. Mott approved a joint abatement plan for Terrace Manor. According to the agreement, Sanford must rehabilitate two buildings on the property with the intent of relocating the remaining tenants to them. Vacant units must be securely locked, and a designated DCRA inspector has been assigned to monitor the site. Tenants will keep their current rents for a year, as Sanford pays for their moving expenses to the two buildings.
It was a hard-won victory. Sanford attorney Stephen Hessler submitted a November response to the attorney general's complaint denying that the most egregious conditions at Terrace Manor were still unabated. The response also described Monica Jackson's comments included in the District's lawsuit as "self-serving"—denying those too.
But the District has a second front in its Terrace Manor battle. The attorney general is testing new legal ground: whether it can prosecute negligent landlords under the city's Consumer Protection Procedures Act, or CPPA.
Racine and his staff are arguing that in demanding rent payments, but not providing habitable conditions, Sanford engaged in misrepresentation. That contention, the District's lawyers say, establishes a claim to recover rents paid not only by current Terrace Manor tenants but also by some who have left the property.

In court filings, Sanford has responded that "it is well settled" that the CPPA does not "apply to the landlord and tenant relationship." The attorney general's office says it does, citing 2016 D.C. Council legislation.
Hessler told the court he was going to fight those claims "tooth and nail."

Q: How to create a template for checkbox groups to avoid code duplication at server side? I have found a question recently (stackoverflow.com/questions/30556100/how-to-uncheck-all-checkboxes-if-one-checkbox-checked). Now, I would like to create a template for the HTML generation, as it seems a good idea to avoid code duplication. This is how my html is generated:
// ---------------------------------------
// --- Populate "Body Type" dropdown list:
// ---------------------------------------

// for populate body types:
$bodytype = array();

// Select exsiting body type from database:
$prep_stmt = " SELECT id,   name FROM body_type";

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($prep_stmt);

if ($stmt) {
    // Bind "$userId" to parameter.
    //$stmt->bind_param('i', $userId);
    // Execute the prepared query.
    $stmt->execute();
    $stmt->store_result();

    // get variables from result.
    $stmt->bind_result($id, $name);

    // Fetch all the records:
    while ($stmt->fetch()) {

        // XSS protection as we might print these values
        $name = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+/", "", $name);
        $id   = filter_var($id,FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

        $type  = "\n";
        if ($name == 'Any'){
            $type .=    "<input type='checkbox' id='bodyTypeAny' name='bodyTypeCheck[]' value='{$id}'> {$name}\n";
        } else {
            $type .=    "<input type='checkbox' id='' name='bodyTypeCheck[]' value='{$id}'> {$name}\n";
        }
        $type .= "\n";
        //Add body types to array
        $bodytype[] = $type;
    }
} else {
    echo 'Database error';
}

// Close the statement:
$stmt->close();
unset($stmt);

All PHP Code for checkbox groups : http://pastebin.com/NXN6ZzcK
How can I implement a function which would generate a checkbox group, so I would simply call it as a function.
Hope somebody may help me out.
Thank you.

A: Before you follow the steps below, save your working version somewhere to make sure you can roll back if you need to.
You could create a class for templates, like this:
class TemplateEngine {

    public static function getCheckboxTemplate($input, $templateName) {
        $template = "";
        foreach ($input as $element) {
            $template .= "\n";
            $template .= "<input type='checkbox' ".(($element["name"] === "Any") ? ("id='".$templateName."Any'") : (""))." name='".$templateName."Check' value='".$element["id"]."'>".$element["name"]."\n";
            $template .= "\n";
        }
        return $template;
    }

}

Make sure you create that class in a separate file where you will implement later templates as well and you require/include that file. And then you can use it like this:
// ---------------------------------------
// --- Populate "Body Type" dropdown list:
// ---------------------------------------

$template = "";
// Select exsiting body type from database:
$prep_stmt = " SELECT id,   name FROM body_type";

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($prep_stmt);

if ($stmt) {
    // Bind "$userId" to parameter.
    //$stmt->bind_param('i', $userId);
    // Execute the prepared query.
    $stmt->execute();
    $stmt->store_result();

    // get variables from result.
    $stmt->bind_result($id, $name);
    $input = array();

    // Fetch all the records:
    while ($stmt->fetch()) {

        $input[]= array("name" => preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+/", "", $name), "id" => filter_var($id,FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT));
    }
    $template = TemplateEngine::getCheckboxTemplate($input, "bodyType");
} else {
    echo 'Database error';
}

// Close the statement:
$stmt->close();
unset($stmt);

And instead of using a $bodytype array, you can simply:
echo $template;

The code is not tested. If there are typos, let me know :)
EDIT: Further templating:
class TemplateEngine {

    public static function getCheckboxTemplate($input, $templateName) {
        $template = "";
        foreach ($input as $element) {
            $template .= "\n";
            $template .= "<input type='checkbox' ".(($element["name"] === "Any") ? ("id='".$templateName."Any'") : (""))." name='".$templateName."Check' value='".$element["id"]."'>".$element["name"]."\n";
            $template .= "\n";
        }
        return $template;
    }

    public static function getCheckboxDatabaseWrapperTemplate($tableName, $templateName, $mysqli) {
        $template = "";
        // Select exsiting body type from database:
        $prep_stmt = " SELECT id,   name FROM ".$tableName;

        $stmt = $mysqli->prepare($prep_stmt);

        if ($stmt) {
            // Bind "$userId" to parameter.
            //$stmt->bind_param('i', $userId);
            // Execute the prepared query.
           $stmt->execute();
           $stmt->store_result();

           // get variables from result.
           $stmt->bind_result($id, $name);
           $input = array();

           // Fetch all the records:
           while ($stmt->fetch()) {

               $input[]= array("name" => preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+/", "", $name), "id" => filter_var($id,FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT));
           }
           $template = TemplateEngine::getCheckboxTemplate($input, $templateName);
       } else {
           echo 'Database error';
       }

       // Close the statement:
       $stmt->close();
       unset($stmt);
       return $template;
    }

'Sickness unto death' is becoming a thing of the past
By Brett Neilson - posted Wednesday, 10 September 2008 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
Two persistent tendencies mark discussions about population ageing. The first is to focus on the effects of this transition upon older members of the community, if not members of particular generations such as the baby boomers. The second is to limit discussion of this demographic change to single countries or jurisdictions.
In reality, population ageing is a global phenomenon. Its effects reach across national borders. They also span across social groups and stratifications, including but not limited to those defined by age.
There are deep affinities between the propensity to understand population ageing by focusing upon specific generations and the tendency to view it within an exclusively national frame. Identifying and analysing these affinities can help to broaden the debate.
The reason why current demographic debate in Australia often focuses on older people is straightforward. Quite simply there will be more of them. In particular, the ageing of the baby boomers will heighten the country's age profile.
Nobody bothers to deny population ageing. Demography may not be destiny, but it lays out the future in slabs. According to the United Nations, the impact of the current demographic transition may parallel that of the industrial revolution.
Commentators on this matter range from doomsday sayers to sage professors who believe policy can solve the problems. The predominant concerns are economic and relate to the so-called demographic deficit - the prospect that current working age populations will be unable to foot the bill for the care and maintenance of those who came before them.
But as today's economy mutates through culture, economic analysis alone is insufficient to take stock of the situation. Population ageing is as much about cultural transition: our family and friendship structures, the media and products we consume, our attitudes toward work, sexuality, and leisure.
To focus the debate on baby boomers and their attitudes toward retirement, health, intergenerational transfers, and so on is to potentially obscure a whole series of questions about ageing at the societal level. What does it mean to be young in an ageing society? What does it mean to be poor in an ageing society? What does it mean to be unemployed in an ageing society? These are questions less often asked.
We live in a time when massive funds are expended for research, medical and otherwise, that seeks to achieve the "compression of morbidity" or confinement of the burden of lifetime illness to a short period before death. The experience of what the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard called the "sickness unto death" is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
At the same time, the small but flourishing field of anti-ageing medicine promotes the notion that ageing is a disease in search of a cure. Bolstered by the hype that surrounds biotechnological developments but strongly contested by the geriatric medical establishment, markets now sustain the hope that ageing can be forestalled or even reversed. The discourses and practices of anti-ageing medicine provide a strategic site for analysing the cultural effects of population ageing.
When Sylvester Stallone was charged for attempting to carry vials of human growth hormone (HGH) through Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport in February 2007, some commentators worried the publicity would generate a demand for this substance, widely marketed on the Internet as an anti-ageing agent. But the reasons for the growth of anti-ageing medicine are more complex than this.
Historically, these are not the only times in which such cultures have blossomed. The early 20th century was also a period in which anti-ageing products and procedures, including hormonal preparations, were widely available. The Viennese physiologist Eugen Steinach, who contributed to the development of hormone replacement therapy, advocated vasectomy as a means of restoring and preserving male vitality. Sigmund Freud and W.B. Yeats were among those who underwent the operation. One company manufactured a product called Spermine, composed of semen, bull's testicles, calf's liver and calf's heart.

Chevrolet Enjoy MPV Scores Shocking Zero-Star Safety Rating In Crash Test
by Martin Bigg Crash / Comments
Not having airbags in the entry-level trim might have something to do with it.
Car safety has come on in leaps and bounds over the years. Crash test footage recently showed how the new Volvo XC60 will be one of the safest SUVs ever made, thanks to its rigid structure minimizing the risk of injury to occupants. It's part of Volvo's mission to make all of its vehicles "deathproof" by 2020. On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Chevrolet Enjoy, a low cost MPV which has the dubious honor of being awarded a zero-star safety rating by Global NCAP. In 2017, that's downright disgraceful.
The eight-seat MPV was designed for the Indian market – Chevrolet even declared that the Enjoy is equipped with the "highest standards of safety." When this was put to the test by Global NCAP, the results are damning, to say the least. It probably shouldn't come as a surprise however when you consider that the entry-level trim doesn't have any airbags. During a frontal offset impact at 40 mph, the Chevrolet Enjoy was awarded a zero-star safety rating for adult occupant protection as driver front passenger injuries would have been "unacceptably high," or possibly fatal. Rear seat child occupation protection scored slightly better, with a two-star safety rating. Higher trim levels only offer two airbags.
As well as the lack of airbags, the Chevrolet Enjoy's poor structure was to blame for the shocking safety rating, as the structural integrity was put into question. The accompanying crash test footage makes for grim viewing, as both the front driver and passenger slam into the steering wheel and dashboard unprotected.
These Hardcore BMWs Are Not Built By BMW
7 Cars That Saved Their Brands From Ruin
There is nothing to enjoy about a zero-star safety score and GM should be embarrassed that they are selling cars with such inadequate levels of occupant protection to Indian consumers," said David Ward, Secretary General of Global NCAP. Sadly, this isn't the first time an India-designed car has received a zero-star rating. Last year, the Chevrolet Beat scored zero stars for adult and child safety in Latin NCAP crash tests.

When College Football Returns at Arkansas, Elsewhere, Lots of Recruiting Questions Will Remain
Hog Recruiting
by: Otis Kirk
Posted: Mar 23, 2020 / 09:18 AM CDT / Updated: Mar 23, 2020 / 09:18 AM CDT
FAYETTEVILLE — Instead of official visits, Junior Days and evaluation period mixed in with spring football practice, coaches, student-athletes and recruits are urged to stay at home.
The words social distancing have replaced official visits, quarantined is now the word used more than commitment. How long it remains this way with COVID-19? Who knows, but apparently the experts are saying it's gonna last for awhile.
No spring practice has been the hot topic, but recruiting is also involved in this scenario. Last year Arkansas had seven official visitors in April and another three in May then another trio in June. They may not have any during that period this year. Chances are growing slimmer each day of any visits happening certainly before June and maybe not even then.
Also in June Arkansas had seven football camps. Sam Pittman said Friday the camps are scheduled for this year, but may not happen.
"They are up in air," Pittman said. "We obviously have dates for them, but who knows. Who knows what's going on. We are in contact with the high school kids when this all breaks up come see us you know. They understand it too."
Normally the assistant coaches are on the road as well during the spring evaluation period going to schools and watching prospects practice. This year, many high schools are shut down and doing on-line classes. The students may or may not go back to schools in mid-April.
The coaches at Arkansas are on a much earned spring break this week. They have previously been in the office, watching film and offering prospects.
When students are allowed to return to campuses across the nation it will be interesting to see how recruiting is handled by the NCAA. Assuming there's no visits until say July that means the coaches will have to likely bring more prospects in during the season than they prefer.
Last year, Arkansas hosted eight official visitors during the season. There's advantages and disadvantages to that. The biggest advantage is obviously the prospect gets to see the atmosphere on day of game. The disadvantage is the coaches don't get to spend as much quality time with the prospects due to preparing for a game.
If this happens expect coaches to try and schedule as many visitors in December as possible prior to the NCAA's early signing period. The Hogs hosted five prospects the Dec. 13 weekend last year, but would be able to host both weekends in December this year leading up to the early signing period since Pittman is in place as head coach.
COVID-19 has changed a lot of things in the world so sports is just a small thing compared to all the deaths in so many countries. But trying to figure out how sports and recruiting will fit back in once all this is cleared is part of the job of reporters, coaches and athletes.
Arkansas did have two Junior Days, Feb. 1 and March 7, prior to everything shutting down. They also were able to host a talented quarterback on March 9 for another unofficial visit.
"I do think it was very valuable to get high school kids on campus before this started," Pittman said. "We offered several in the two Junior Days. I thought our coaches did a really good job of getting talented kids on caps. I thought they went really well. I don't know obviously what's gonna go on, but it's gonna be different."
There's no answers right now to all the questions surrounding this topic. It's strange to see the entire world basically taking a wait-and-see approach to so many things. In this microwave world where everything is now and instant, COVID-19 has forced everyone to wait and wonder. But as Pittman said, the one thing we all know is, "It's gonna be different."
Everyone stay safe and listen to what the leaders in the USA are telling us.

PACSCL Spotlight: Amplifying BIPOC Voices in the Field
An interview with Victoria Wong
Book Conservator at the Princeton University Library (PUL).
How did you get into the field?
I stumbled upon book conservation as an undergrad looking for a work-study job at my university's main library. I saw a posting for a student technician in the preservation lab and was immediately drawn to the opportunity to work with my hands. Following my bachelor's degree, I had many, many jobs (recession!), but none of them were as enjoyable or rewarding as my experience working in a preservation lab. I then sought out opportunities to work as a conservation technician and, after over a decade of doing so, I decided to pursue graduate studies in art conservation.
What is your favorite collection item at your institution? What's the most surprising thing you've come across while working in GLAM institutions?
There are so many wonderful items in the collection. PUL carries the largest collection of Islamic world manuscripts in North America. There are also some very rare and beautiful printed Chinese books that are pre-Gutenberg, many of which have been digitized. Mendel Library, our music library, holds one of Beethoven's musical score sketchbooks. There are also some rich and fascinating manuscript collections, such as the Toni Morrison Papers and the Weidenfeld and Nicolson Records, where I came across a memo to Joan Crawford politely explaining that, as her autobiography was already going to press, it was too late to change its title to "Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Star." The most surprising thing I've come across in GLAM institutions is that the same object might be considered rare in one institution and circulating in another. Also, a commemorative manhole cover.
Tell us about your experience in the library field?
I've worked in many of the roles you'd find in a typical preservation and conservation lab and in a variety of settings from state and Ivy League universities, to private art museum libraries and social club archives. As I'd mentioned, I'd worked as a student conservation technician in a library preservation lab. As a student worker, I made archival housings for library materials and also treated general collections items. I later worked as a preservation specialist and library assistant for an art museum library, where I made and ordered custom housings, and also carried out minor treatments on books and works on paper. As a graduate student, I interned at conservation labs for academic research libraries where I focused on treating rare collection items. Now, as a book conservator, I focus on the preservation and conservation aspects of digitization projects and collection moves, and carry out conservation treatments.
Please highlight any projects related to BIPOC art, history, and culture that you are working on.
I have been working with Deborah Schlein, our Near Eastern Studies Librarian, on surveying PUL's collection of Islamic World Manuscripts in preparation for digitization. I've also surveyed about 100 of PUL's Ming and Qing Dynasty Chinese books for a collaborative digitization project with the National Central Library of Taiwan, who have been working globally with institutions to digitize rare Chinese titles.
How do you think your experience as BIPOC influences your work as a GLAM professional?
My Chinese heritage, and more specifically as a child of immigrants, is at the core of my approach to preservation and conservation. I'm not solely interested in preserving the information within the items that I work with, but the history and culture behind them, whether that is the item's binding method, the inks and pigments on its pages, or the plant and/or animal materials present. There is so much to learn from the materiality of an object that goes beyond the text that it holds.
If you weren't a librarian or archivist what would you want to be?
I love to sew and make patterns, and would happily do that if I weren't working as a conservator.
What do you wish more people knew about your job?
Conservators like to talk about all kinds of stuff! Item-level treatment is just one of many components of a successful and forward-thinking preservation department. We're here and happy to talk about other aspects of preservation, like scientific analysis, environmental controls, safe handling practices, pest infestations. All the good stuff!
If you could give advice to emerging professionals, what would it be?
Every project or assignment, big or small, is an opportunity to learn and continue to develop your skills and senses. No two projects are exactly the same, and you never know when a previous experience will come in handy. With that being said, self-preservation is what will keep you going in the long run.
What are you currently reading or listening to?
Summer Walker's Still Over It and a podcast on traditional Chinese medicine.
What are three things you enjoy outside of work?
Sewing, hiking, and spending quality time with the people I love.
What is your personal philosophy?
"Is this a good idea?"
Where would you like to go on a dream vacation?
I'd go to Huanglong Valley, China for the pools and hot springs. I'd stay for the Szechuan food.
What have you always wanted to try but never have?
I want to ride a motorcycle, but I am also afraid of riding a motorcycle.
I'm with my family, friends and cats (who I also consider family/friends).

Q: Serializing ObservableCollection I want to save an ObservableCollection that contains "Number" elements to the IsolatedStorage on the phone. I'm calling the SaveHistory() and LoadHistory() methods of my FileAcces class in App.xaml.cs whenever the app closes, activates, launches etc. I have a global variable defined in App.xaml.cs called list (ObservableCollection)
When debugging I'm recieving the error InvalidOperationException was unhandled (There is an error in XML document (3, 4).) on the line that says
App.list = (ObservableCollection<Number>)serializer.Deserialize(stream); (in LoadHistory())
public class FileAccess
{
    public static void SaveHistory()
    {
            using (IsolatedStorageFile store = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())

                {
                    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ObservableCollection<Number>));
                    serializer.Serialize(stream, App.list);
                }
            }
    }

                file.Dispose();
            }
            using (IsolatedStorageFileStream stream = store.OpenFile("History.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open))
            {
                //If the file isnt empty, then deserialize the xml into Settings objects and load them into the database.
                if (stream.Length > 0)
                {
                    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ObservableCollection<Number>));
                    App.list = (ObservableCollection<Number>)serializer.Deserialize(stream);
                }
                else
                {
                    //If the file is empty, create a new ObservableCollection of Settings class type.
                    App.list = new ObservableCollection<Number>();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The contents of the XML file

According to robtiffany, in the article posted on the 5:th of November, serializing an observablecollection this way should work. What am I doing wrong?

Star Trek: Picard Trailer
'Clarice' Star Lucca De Oliveira on All the Guilt That Weighs Esquivel Down
Meredith Jacobs February 25, 2021
Brooke Palmer/CBS
Matt Roush's Top 10 Broadcast TV Shows of 2021
Watch the Audition That Landed Rebecca Breeds the Role of 'Clarice' (VIDEO)
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Clarice Episode 3, "Are You Alright?"]
The FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) has a big problem in the latest episode of Clarice: A murderer about to share important information is fatally poisoned while in custody.
Karl Wellig (Kris Holden-Ried), who murdered three women about to blow the whistle on a clinical trial, is telling Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) about who had hired him when he suddenly dies. It seems that someone posing as a cop poisoned his drink.
And agent and sniper Tomas Esquivel, played by Lucca de Oliveira, is wracked with guilt: He was the one who brought the drink into the interrogation room. We chat with de Oliveira about the guilt his characters carries, what he learns from Clarice, and what's next for him on the show.
How's the team dealing with this conspiracy?
Lucca de Oliveira: We're in a very compromising position, trying to not make too much noise, and continuing the investigation quietly because we have too many eyes on us. To lose a suspect inside our home base is a huge red flag.
Roush Review: Moody 'Clarice' Takes Another Shot at Crime
Esquivel thinks it falls on his shoulders because he was the one who had physical contact with [the drink]. He's a man of few and simple words; he knows when to speak and when not to, when it's his fault and when it's not. He feels tremendously guilty and it's something he has to carry with him through these next couple of episodes. He knows how fortunate he is have the position he has on the team — this is really not something he needs on his "résumé."
And then there's Clarice — everyone's still adjusting to having her on the team.
No one expected to have a woman on the team, but Clarice has a reputation that could be a huge asset, especially with this case. She's really teaching us new ways of looking at a crime scene, victims, and suspects. Esquivel's learning a lot from her, [as is] the rest of the team. Some are more skeptical. The team's trying to come together as best they can when everyone's waiting for them — [especially] Clarice — to mess up.
We learn about Esquivel's military past when he talks to Wellig. Will we learn more about how his background affects him and his work?
We get a nice hint of who he was in the past, who he is, and what he carries with him day-to-day. The bureau is a foreign place to him and he's still adjusting to that lifestyle, the character of the suit [versus] the uniform. He knows how to play his role. He's waiting for chances to continue to prove himself and use the skillset he's familiar with, and continue to learn skills he's not so familiar with and do his best for the team.
Clarice says Esquivel only remembers those he's shot, not those he's saved. Will that change?
Guilt consumes him. VICAP is a good distraction. He's not entirely proud of his skillset, but he's really good at it. It's why he has his job and reputation. The work we do can be messy, especially the work Esquivel does. When his skills are put to the test, it's the life of his team over the life of another, and unfortunately, he always has to choose the [former]. The weight of the people he can't save is much heavier than the weight of the people he does.
How will Esquivel continue to support Clarice?
Esquivel sees Clarice's value. He's always looking for the best possible outcome and approach for the greater good, and Clarice is that for us in this case. He knows there's nothing that can come at the team or him that Clarice can't help him with, specifically with behavioral science, a lack of evidence, and needing to piece together a puzzle. We'll see that throughout the season.
Brooke Palmer/CBS;l.,
Esquivel lends his ear to Clarice so she can voice what she's thinking. He helps her uncover this massive puzzle. We continue to work together and contribute to the case in our own individual ways, which ironically enough are pretty similar. Esquivel's constantly learning from Clarice. Her skillset can really help his perspective.
What's coming up with Esquivel away from VICAP?
We'll find out about his family, what he thinks about his mother and his sisters, which will eventually give all the answers to why he supports Clarice so deeply and tries to befriend and use [FBI Agent] Ardelia [Mapp, played by Devyn Tyler]. He knows her skillset is perfect when combined with Clarice and the team. There's a good duality with what he does and where his heart lies and what he believes in.
