IF YOU stand at a vantage point and squint, the visitors to Salford Quays almost resemble the iconic figures painted by LS Lowry.
Stooped elderly couples look out at the waterside, mothers drag their tantruming toddlers and hurrying BBC workers in trench coats pace across the landscape – it's Lowry's 'A Street Scene' live and in motion. Sort-of.
Unfortunately, a deal on vitamins at Holland & Barretts or a one-stop shop for Tefal kitchenwares doesn't titillate me enough to return regularly.
Of course, Salford Quays boasts two structures named in homage to the Stretford-born painter. One is the impressive purpose built Lowry arts complex and the other is The Lowry Outlet Mall - mainly known for discounted brands and an unnecessarily large number of shops selling bed sheets and scented candles.
It's safe to say, that most people don't come to Salford Quays to shop at the Lowry Outlet Mall.
Despite being at the docklands for thirteen years, it appears visits to the shopping centre are mainly a result of wandering aimlessly out of the Lowry Theatre after a performance, or finding yourself without anything else to do after a trip to the Imperial War Museum North. It's a fast food pit stop with shops for people with motives that probably include visiting the nearby MediaCityUK or gawping over the Ship Canal to spot the new Coronation Street set.
The Lowry Outlet doesn't bustle with regular customers, instead the complex takes in the Quay's infrequent stragglers and strays.
Not that there's anything glaringly wrong with The Lowry Outlet Mall.
In fact, on the face of it the large building is ideally situated on the docklands. There's improved transport links with a bus and Metrolink outside and on-site parking. Plus, the general Quays area is picturesque enough to inspire anyone's return.
Inside, it has the main ingredients for any large scale centre; a clean food court, clothes shops selling smocks for the bored and retired and a small cinema to turf the kids in during the summer holidays. There's also a Harvester and a large Nandos in the food plaza.
But it's peaceful – veering towards rest-in-peaceful at the outlet. On a weekday afternoon, a muffled Toni Braxton warbles Unbreak My Heart over the centre radio and people move at a gentle pace to the sound of her moans.
The Lowry Outlet Mall is slow, mellow and easy like it's Sunday morning every-day.
The blame for the lack of bustle is left with largely uninspiring retailers. Unfortunately, a deal on vitamins at Holland & Barretts or a one-stop shop for Tefal kitchenwares doesn't titillate me enough to return regularly.
Still, there are covetable bargains.
Flannels boast big name designers at the Lowry Outlet's promised 70% discount prices. I yelped as I found Christian Louboutin heels price-slashed to £230 from £600. There's a Gap, Molton Brown and a Body Shop all selling goods for much less than on Market Street. Plus the centre's Cadbury's store is a cute treat. Regardless, after filling my boots with chocolate bars the excitement slowly dissipated.
Following the question whether there are busier periods at the Outlet, I cued a synchronised shaking of heads from the staff at The Sweet Emporium.
The quiet in the outlet mall is somewhat surprising given that its close neighbour is multi-million pound powerhouse MediaCityUK. Owned and developed by The Peel Group, it's a formidable shiny brute on the waterside that promised to bring in bigger crowds. Incidentally, since 2012 The Lowry is now owned by The Peel Group.
The company made no secret that it wanted The Lowry as part of its ever growing portfolio at the former Salford Docks. After selling the majority share in The Trafford Centre, it wanted to put the Lowry Outlet Mall on the shopping radar.
And according to them there's been customer growth.
In 2013 Peel recorded a 6% increase in footfall and total sales figures were up 8.1% for the year.
Peel believes it's all down to the new freshly relocated BBC faces, who became permanent fixtures to Salford Quays in 2010.
"We've not seen an increase in people shopping since the BBC has come over. They come mainly to eat in the food court - not really shop," said one team mate at The Sweet Emporioum.
With The Trafford Centre and Manchester Arndale within easy reach from The Lowry Outlet, it's no surprise that on the weekdays it lacks a similar atmosphere. The location is in a nowhere land and there arn't enough shops to give it critical mass. The Trafford Centre opens until 10pm on a weekday, whereas the Lowry Outlet stores have an early bedtime of 6pm.
That's not to say The Lowry Outlet doesn't add to the reasons for visiting The Quays.
One image proved that over the afternoon of our visit.
Graduates from The University of Salford were celebrating in front of the Lowry Theatre and spilled out onto The Lowry Outlet's steps to throw their caps and embrace family members. Most had packed into the Outlet's bars (Lime Bar, Craft Beers) on what was a picture perfect sunny day. With MediaCityUK filling its restaurants, there was a beaming glimmer of life on the waterside.
After a few celebratory tipples some of the graduates had even wandered tipsily into the centre to buy gifts.
But those occasions are few and far between. Peel have their work cut out to make this awkwardly sited mall work. You go because you're at the Quays not because of a desperate retail need. Can Peel ever make the shopping centre a real shopping destination? Given its location and competition it seems unlikely.
The editor says the centre was built because Salford Council were worried the Lowry Centre with its theatres wasn't enough of an attraction to keep people in the area. Then the Imperial War Museum North opened followed by MediaCityUK.
Perhaps they were a little premature.
Still, if you're lucky you might pick up a bargain Loubotin, some scented candles, cheap sweets and even Black & Decker drills.
When did you visit?? The Nike store closed quite a while ago. One of the few shops I actually used to shop at!
You forgot to mention that you have to pay for car parking, unlike most other outlets and the Trafford Centre, where car parking is free. They do stamp your car parking ticket if you spend over a certain amount, but for me, I'd just as soon to go Cheshire Oak or The Trafford Centre where I can park for free regardless of whether I decide to buy something or not. Also Marks and Spencer furniture outlet often has some good bargains but I wouldn't pay for car parking on the off chance they might have something I want.
How much does it cost to drive to Cheshire Oaks and back?
You only need to spend a fiver, roughly the price of a cake and coffe at Costa. Tight a*se.
Depends where you live and there is a far wider choice there so more likely to find something you want. Just meant I'd be more likely to drop into The Lowry Outlet Mall more often if parking was free or you only had to spend a nominal amount to get free car parking like it used to be.
I love it. Mulberry handbags at less than Selfridges? YES PLEASE!!! Parking is free if you spend more than a fiver (which is two coffees). Most shopping centres are quiet during the week unless its holidays.
I live on the Quays and don't visit the outlet mall (the name itself is bad enough) because it's so awful. Dull, lifeless, full of stuff hardly anyone wants and the eating choices are vile (I must be the only person in the country who can't see the point of Nandos). They should get better more varied shops in there and some higher end bars and restaurants (or at least some better chains) and make it a destination place - drag people from the Traff. The area still needs more eating and drinking places - the Dockyard is okay, but it could do with some competition.
Oh dear the wrong sort of people again.
Up there with the most soul-destroying places in the world I reckon, and an utterly bizarre neighbour to the lowry theatre, IWM and media city. Either do an outlet mall properly like Cheshire Oaks or get rid. Can you imagine an interested bbc exec wondering in on his/her first day after being transferred up here? Fcking embarrassing.
An M&S without a food court is simply a wasted opportunity. Local snobbery and increased demand will see a change in the type of retail units in there eventually, give it time.
many years ago Lands End had an outlet in the Lowry . They seem to have upped their game in the recent past and it would be great to get them back in. Flannels is a great pull but they don;t really advertise much and then places like Roman Originals and pavers change the profile again. A Gap outlet might help. the profile seems all wrong. Having been to the Bicester village outlet where people stay in hotels to make a day of spending small fortunes on rubbish and then to Cheshire Oaks the Lowry must be able to attract other true outlets. the Jaeger outlet in Altrincham closed down ; get them to the Lowry.
There is a gap outlet!
It's just a horrible building inside and out and takes no advantage of it's location. An outdoor centre like the Rock in Bury or a small Liverpool One would have been much better in this location and would be able to compete with Trafford on nicer days. Too late though.
Have a cry about it.
The centre was much more vibrant when it first opened. There was the likes of Mexx, Karen Millen and Whistles in there. It has slowly died a death over the last few years in my opinion. I had hoped that Peel taking things over would reinvigorate it but so far this hasn't happened. Such a shame.
Totally agree re Whistles disappearance from Lowry Outlet. It was a class store with great staff.
Maybe you should have visited when the Waterside market was on – the specialised stalls are attracting a regular 'up-market' customer base, with their artisan food and craft products. Still, why kill a good 'doom and gloom' story? As previous commentators have suggested, lazy and unreliable journalism.
The Lowry Outlet makes no effort to maximise trade. Shops close early , often pulling shutters down 20 min before closin time so theatre goers cant spend an hour or so beforehand shopping. Staff are largely disinterested n prices in Holl n Barrett are not discounted - same as high street. By far the biggest issue is the relentless greed of the parking management. Oulets have free parking thats the pay off for a journey out to it. This car park has just changed and increased its prices prices again. U cud get 6 hrs free if you ate time to shop n eat , now u get 4 it seems very grabbing. The outlet advertises that it is at Media City but no media city cafes etc are included in parking scheme . I love the Lowry Theatre but they need to participate in the parking scheme - dont mention the pre theatre parking its a con for unknowing visitors , and if u r only there for 3 hrs for a show its more expensive than just paying on exit - another bit of sharp practice. Why is that ok?
This is the only "Outlet Mall/ Village" that's generally more expensive than the brand's shops. I don't want to go somewhere and hope for a bargain on the off chance, I want to get good value each visit.
A horrible place, lifeless, bland bunker of a building and a complete waste of a fantastic location. A massive failure of planning and architecture by Emerson / Orbit and Salford City Council.

Ramos sat with Baber as she explained her circumstances. She said she had been living in Section 8 subsidized housing in Rancho Cordova when her lease was terminated unexpectedly, even though she was paying her rent. She said she had filed a lawsuit challenging her eviction but it hadn't been resolved. In the meantime, she had been unable to find new housing.
"The housing manager wasn't complying," Baber said, as she clutched a file folder with her court documents.
"I can make a difference. We will fight for it," Ramos assured her.
Ramos, 26, is an Army veteran and actor. Since February, he has worked for a new partnership between Sacramento Regional Transit and Sacramento Steps Forward, the region's lead agency working to end homelessness. He approaches homeless people on trains, at light-rail stations and in homeless camps near light-rail lines. His mission: to connect people with services and housing.
Once Ramos makes contact with a homeless person, he sits down with them on the train and fires up a program on his iPad that allows him to create a profile with contact information and background. He photographs the person's face and their ID card. He then follows up, helping set up appointments and for such crucial items as a Social Security card or a tuberculosis test required for entry to a homeless shelter.
On Monday, RT staff shared some of the results of Ramos' work so far with the RT board. Ramos is following up with 66 people. He has helped 11 find housing and arranged assistance for eight others to return to their home states or towns.
RT spokeswoman Jo Noble said the RT board is pleased with the results. "Not only do we clean up our system, it's a way to help advocate and help the homeless," she said.
Homelessness is a significant issue for Regional Transit, which is trying to make its system safer and cleaner in advance of the October opening of the new Golden 1 Center downtown. In addition to its outreach, the agency recently launched a crackdown on people riding without tickets. That included hiring additional fare checkers and painting red lines around light-rail stations to create zones where only fare-paying passengers are permitted.
"We do get a lot of complaints," Noble said.
Last year, the RT board considered and rejected a proposed rule that would have allowed removal of passengers who smelled bad.
The RT outreach program is part of a countywide effort – called Common Cents and administered by Sacramento Steps Forward – to effectively end homelessness by 2020. Outreach is a major component of the effort. According to the Sacramento Steps Forward website, Common Cents navigators have so far contacted 1,200 people and referred over 200 to shelter and housing.
On Aug. 9, Ramos donned his blue Common Cents shirt, iPad in hand, and boarded a Gold Line train. As usual, he was accompanied by Sacramento County sheriff's Deputy Pam Inman, who is assigned to RT security detail. They work as a pair for their personal safety.
Inman's hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she wore a police uniform, gun slung on her hip. But she said she focuses on outreach rather than enforcement. She hands out vouchers for fares on buses and trains instead of tickets for those who haven't paid. Inman said she often drives people to appointments or to get food.
"How can I make their day better?" Inman said she asks herself every day.
Ramos said he will hand-deliver government paperwork and applications to agencies for clients who are too disabled to make the trip. Otherwise, he requires them to go themselves.
"When people do things for themselves, it builds confidence," Ramos said.
Ramos said he is no stranger to homelessness, though he was reluctant to offer any details of his own experience.
After graduating from Monterey Trail High School in Elk Grove in 2008, Ramos said, he studied screen writing at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. During 2009 through 2011, he said, he slept in a car.
"I would take showers at community pools," Ramos said. "I was struggling."
Ramos joined the Army in 2012 then joined the National Guard after he left the Army in 2015. He was honorably discharged from both.
In 2015 on any given evening, 2,659 individuals in the Sacramento area were homeless, according to Sacramento Steps Forward's homeless count. Almost 950 were unsheltered and about 300 were veterans.
Sacramento Regional Transit is improving its customer service by becoming more entrepreneurial, more aggressive and getting back to basics.

EDMONTON — Alberta says it might take driver road tests back from the private sector due to concerns about oversight and high fees compared with the rest of Canada.
"I think we'll be able to have a driver-testing system that has the integrity that I think Albertans expect," Malkinson said Wednesday in an interview from Calgary.
An independent consultant's report says the approach is failing to deliver projected cost savings to consumers and is open to collusion and abuse due to lack of co-ordinated oversight and independent data such as in-vehicle video.
"Challenges in monitoring the program, associated fees and general operations leave opportunity for inconsistency and exploitation such as fraud, bribery, sexual harassment and collusion," the report says.
Malkinson's department estimates the average Alberta price for a basic Class 5 driver's licence is $90 a test — double or triple the cost for similar tests in other provinces.
Prices rise sharply after that for more specialized licences and top out at $219 on average for a Class 1 licence for commercial truck drivers. That's three to four times higher than in other provinces.
"Alberta's road testing fees are up to five times the average of the other provincial jurisdictions, depending on the class of driver's licence," says the report by Tantus Solutions Group.
"When Alberta moved to a privatized model in 1993, the rationale for the move was based on … increased access for Albertans and low cost to provide examinations.
"I think the (free) market works now, but … I also realize in some rural communities there is no option, and that is a legitimate concern of the government," he said.


We have recently performed our annual Christmas play, 'A Miracle in Town!' along with Classes 3, 4 and 5. Children in Class 6 were narrators, villagers, Mary, Joseph, the donkey, servants, camels and kings. They did a wonderful job!

Q: Read from file output to html template in django How would the solution linked below be written in views.py to read from multiple files and output those various fields? I can make this work for one but if I try copy pasting f = open('path/text.txt', 'r') file_content = f.read() f.close() context = {'file_content': file_content}
and changing the letters slightly to have unique versions it seems to break it...I am passing in unique variations not reusing "f" ex: h = open(BASE_DIR, 'path/tofile') file_content = h.read() h.close() context = {'file_contenth': file_contenth}
I then pass in to the return  return render(request, pathtohtml, {'file_content': file_content}, {'file_contenth': file_contenth}
and that "breaks" it.  I've tried a few variations of passing those variables in to no avail
I used the solution found here  Django: Display contents of txt file on the website

A: The correct format is the following:
return render(request, path/to/html, {'file_content': file_content, 'file_contenth': file_contenth, 'other_variable': other_variable})

The owners love the country and found this beautiful site tucked away in the hinterland of Coffs Harbour …. with some sea views even if we can built high enough. This certainly tied in with the the Tuscan Villa theme they also loved and hence some very high ceilings and magnificent views from the top floor living areas.


If liberalism is like a religion—clinging to messianic government just as believers trust in God—then abortion is its holiest sacrament.
Consider the sacred grounds of today's abortion temples, the elevation of "abortion providers" to noble redeemers—a parallel priesthood of death.
Consider how the left's devotion to multi-culturalism is trumped by the evangelical fervor with which they invade other countries to spread the "good news" that the natives can achieve salvation by eliminating masses of their children.
For true believers, sacraments have an inevitable component of mystery. Is anyone beginning to notice that the ideology of abortion now flies in the face of science and reason? Why the suppression of studies linking breast cancer to abortion?
And what of the advances in technology which show more and more poignantly the humanity of the being feminists insist must be called the fetus? Newsweek's June 9, 2003 cover story asked "Should a Fetus Have Rights? How Science is Changing the Debate." The courts are in a quandary what with the Peterson case and women surfacing all over the country to press charges against assailants who beat or kicked the life out of their unborn babies.
There's the reality that the gestational age of surviving preemies is steadily falling. And surgeons opening mothers' wombs to correct defects like spina bifida. Remember the teeny hand reaching out to grasp his doctor's finger?
Finally, the newest ultrasound machines, showing the truth about what was always more than the left wanted to anyone to see. Prolife clinics as well as Fetal Fotos franchisees (really!) are snapping up this new technology to change a mind or turn a profit.
Which leads one to wonder nowadays how much denial it must take to believe that what's inside the mother is not a human life unless the mother says so?
Let's go back to the day it began—mothers replacing God as the authors of life—January 22, 1973.
When the Supreme Court somehow pulled a "right to privacy" out of its magic hat, I wasn't looking too closely for flaws in the way it was done. As a highly-enlightened radical feminist, I scoffed at dour warnings of slippery slopes, simply rejoicing with my Second Wave Sisters at our victory.
Five years later, I celebrated the victory and partook of the sacrament myself, with no more inconvenience than a trip to the dentist.
Thirty-one years later I wonder what in the world we were thinking. Surely not one of us imagined that abortions would become more a convenience item than a last resort, that at the rate of 1.5 million a year, they would eradicate a third of all babies conceived. Focusing only on economics, the outcome will come back to haunt us: a third less work force to carry the Social Security burden of the choice-happy Boomers who live on and on.
Why were we so closed-minded to the philosophical arguments against abortion? Those slippery slopes quickly became a freefall, leading to abortions of preborn babies for being the wrong gender or having a cleft palate. And the horror of a presidential candidate endorsing partial-birth abortion. And the conclusion of Princeton professor/bioethicist Peter Singer that parents of disabled infants should be allowed 30 days to decide whether to allow their child to live or die.
By characterizing children as burdens rather than blessings, abortion led to the devaluation of every one of them and—I believe—the murderous mom syndrome, with babies dumped in dumpsters, stuffed in airplane trashcans, toddlers drowned in lakes or bathtubs, kids strangled, smothered, stabbed, shot, beaten, burned to death by their own mothers.
How could it happen that we women, the bearers and nurturers of life, could have even for a moment wanted to appropriate for ourselves the right to kill? First Wave Feminists hated abortion, likening it to slavery in its premise that one human being could be disposed of as the property of another.
The word quagmire comes to mind.
On this anniversary of Roe v. Wade, after thirty-one years of shocks and throes, let's reflect on how it came to pass that what seemed desirable in 1973 has finally proven indefensible. Roe v. Wade is now the law of the land, but not necessarily forever, as Dred Scott was not forever.
Once again, the times they are a-changin'. A November Gallup poll revealed that 72 percent of American teenagers find abortion morally wrong. Perhaps they're looking askance at the selfishness that caused one third of their brothers, sisters, and peers to go missing. Perhaps they're haunted by the knowledge that there but for the grace of God and the whim of their mothers they might have gone as well.
In any case, like the boy who accurately perceived the Emperor had no clothes, post-Boomers bathed in a different cultural and scientific awareness—despite current over-the-top efforts of Planned Parenthood and other denominations to bring them into the fold—appear to be rapidly abandoning the religion of their mothers.

The Physics Factory is a Project that aims to take action on the decline of physics in British schools and universities with its resulting damage to Britain's competitiveness in a technological world.
It comprises two fully equipped physics laboratories, each staffed by a full time teacher. City schools who do not have a dedicated physics teacher can send children between the ages of 14 to 19 for physics lessons. This can either be to supplement general science lessons in school or as a way of providing a GCSE/ A Level Physics course that the school would otherwise have been unable to offer. In addition, Physics Factory provides CPD courses for teachers to inspire more innovative physics teaching in schools.
Demand for the facilities and services provided by the Physics Factory has already outstripped supply – a facility 3 times its size would still be full.

GOP Gov Charges His 200 Tenants Rent As They Struggle Financially During Pandemic: Report
The United States has seen a significant decline in jobs since the outbreak of the coronavirus. Millions have already lost their jobs and are struggling financially.
Now, according to The Post and Courier, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (R) has decided to continue to charge rent at his properties while his tenants struggle to make money during this pandemic.
"With rent due this week, South Carolina has installed few safeguards that some lawmakers and legal advocates say would provide critical relief during the coronavirus outbreak for tenants who are unable to pay," The Post and Courier reported Friday. "The state has suspended all evictions as tens of thousands suddenly find themselves unemployed. But that order doesn't prevent tenants who may be out of work from still owing or falling behind in their rent every month."
"Calls for state or local officials to enact additional protections — like funding for assistance or a temporary stay on rent — have yet to take hold here. Governments in other states have begun to enact such measures.
"Calls for state or local officials to enact additional protections — like funding for assistance or a temporary stay on rent — have yet to take hold here. Governments in other states have begun to enact such measures," the newspaper noted. "Among those who have been quiet on the issue: Gov. Henry McMaster. A letter from a Charleston lawmaker, requesting the governor intervene, has sat on McMaster's desk for a week."
"Meanwhile, at the roughly 20 rental properties in Columbia that the governor personally owns, McMaster has continued to collect rent from his 200-plus tenants," the newspaper reported. "That includes monthly amounts collected this week from University of South Carolina students who rent from the governor in a tree-lined neighborhood near campus. It also includes rent charged week-to-week at two of the governor's boarding houses that lodge 16 tenants, several of whom are out of work, said John Gregg, property manager of the governor's PJM Properties."

Our philosopy is to encourage the student to explore as many techniques as possible to discover methods that best suit the individuals personality and voice.
The purpose of learning techniques is to provide insights on methods that people have found to be helpful in improving or enhancing their natural talents. The singer should aim to recognise both unhealthy and healthy methods of singing and incorporate healthy techniques into their practise sessions until they become second nature rather than attempt to focus purely on technique during performance.
This section provides articles and links to external articles containing ideas and techniques used to explore the talents and capabilities of the performer.

Q: Creating multiple buttons in Excel I'm very new to this. However, I've created a small VBA script in Excel. This script highlights the row the button is on, asks for a name and then inserts today's date and the name entered on to some cells in the row. It's basically used to book out media that is recorded on this spreadsheet.
The issue I have is that I'll need a CommandButton for every row, and I have no idea how to get the command button to change the the row values within the script to reflect the row that the button is on. Is this possible?

A: I think you should specify your question more clearly, but if I understand your question right, you need to write data in the next empty cell. If that is the case, you can use this:
    ActiveSheet.Range("B10").Select
    If ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0) <> "" Then
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    End If
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

This will search for and select the next empty cell in column B, starting from B10. Hope this helps!

Sorry, Bishops, But the Answer Is No
Peterr 2012-04-13
13 Apr 2012 Peterr
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops is trying to play the martyr once more. This time, they are trying to claim the mantle of James Madison and Martin Luther King Jr. as they self-righteously hold themselves up as the defenders of religious liberty.
What they really are doing, though, is the opposite. They are asserting their desire to take over the religious and moral beliefs of anyone with whom they come in contact. Their desire is not just to operate freely themselves, not just to restrict the freedoms of others, but to affirmatively take over the moral thinking of everyone else.
You're LGBT and want to adopt? Unmarried and want to be a foster parent? "Sorry," say the bishops, "but we've taken over your moral and religious beliefs, so the answer is no."
You or a loved one want to come to a catholic hospital or nursing home and be able to unplug life support when YOU decide to, in consultation with doctors and according to your moral and religious beliefs? "Sorry," say the bishops, "but you signed your moral and religious beliefs over to us (and so did your doctors) when you (and they) walked in the door, so the answer is no."
You want to have your tubes tied after a C-section, following a difficult and dangerous pregnancy, according to your moral and religious beliefs? "Sorry," say the bishops, "but you signed your moral and religious beliefs over to us when you walked in the door, so the answer is no." [cont'd.]
You want to have a pregnancy terminated after your doctor tells you the fetus in your womb will never live outside it and you are increasingly likely to die if you try to carry the fetus to term, a decision you've made in accordance with your moral and religious beliefs? "Sorry," say the bishops, "but you signed your moral and religious beliefs over to us when you walked in the door, so the answer is no."
This isn't protecting religious freedom. It's an attempt to coerce the political powers at every level to give legal cover to the discriminatory, patronizing, and highly parochial views of the USCCB, especially in situations where they are using public money to carry out these views. They want to enforce by law what they cannot accomplish by persuasion and preaching, even to the people in their own pews.
If the bishops were truly honest and transparent about what they are doing here, there'd be a revision of Dante's sign, hanging over the door to every bishop's office and over the entrances to far too many catholic churches: "Abandon all independent thinking, ye who enter here".
Sorry, bishops, but the answer is no.
It appears I am not alone in this line of thinking, with the emphasis and delightfully direct language in the inimitable original of Mr. Charlie Pierce:
Are these idiots kidding me? The Letter From Birmingham Jail?
May god forgive them for such towering, impious self-regard, because I have no intention of doing so.
The Clan of the Red Beanie went celibate balls to the wailing wall on Thursday, issuing a Statement on Religious Liberty that turns the English language inside-out, repositions religious repression and pious bigotry as statements of freedom, makes a mockery of the informed consciences of a good slice of the American Catholic laity, and is a statement of meddling in the secular government that would be almost tragic, if it didn't drip so garishly with lachrymose sanctimony about how heavily these ermined layabouts have been oppressed by the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, and by the fact that some states have decided that, no, they can no longer function as tax-free havens for discrimination on the basis of who does what to whom with their sexyparts. But, before we get to that, we have to deal with one representative passage which makes me wonder what exactly some of these guys were burning in the thurible during the Holy Week services . . .
Shorter Mr. Pierce: Sorry, bishops, but the answer is 'HELL NO!'" (Do go read the whole thing — it is truly a work of religious art.)
Mr. Pierce ends thusly:
Religious people can contribute to "our common life" or to "the common good" as much as they ever have, and they don't need government's permission to do so. But the state alone can decide who provides what services under state contracts, and the state can decide the rules that will govern those contracts, and the state can decide to waive those rules or not. And the state can decide to what use, if any, religious organizations can put the state's own buildings and facilities. It can decide who, if anyone, gets a waiver from the secular law. In most cases, it has decided in a democratic fashion that anti-discrimination statutes contribute more to "our common life" and to "the common good" than does the Catholic Church's opposition to freedom for gay couples to marry. In most cases, it has decided in a democratic fashion that allowing women a measure of control over their reproductive lives contributes more to "our common life" and to "the common good" than the preposterous view of humanity found in Humanae Vitae. It is repressing nobody in having done so, except some career autocrats who dream of crowns and yearn for palaces.
And let all the non-Roman Catholic Bishops say "Amen!"
You want to have your tubes tied after a C-section, following a difficult and dangerous pregnancy, according to your moral and religious beliefs? "Sorry," say the bishops, "but you signed your moral and religious beliefs over to us when you walked in the door, so the answer is no."
It appears I am not alone in this line of thinking, with the emphasis and delightfully direct language in the inimitable original of Mr. Charlie Pierce: (more…)

I'm an ordained Lutheran pastor with a passion for language, progressive politics, and the intersection of people's inner sets of ideals and beliefs (aka "faith" to many) and their political actions. I mostly comment around here, but offer a weekly post or two as well. With the role that conservative Christianity plays in the current Republican politics, I believe that progressives ignore the dynamics of religion, religious language, and religiously-inspired actions at our own peril. I am also incensed at what the TheoCons have done to the public impression of Christianity, and don't want their twisted version of it to go unchallenged in the wider world. I'm a midwesterner, now living in the Kansas City area, but also spent ten years living in the SF Bay area.

My thanks to Steven Daniel (our IT guru) and our Training Manager, Anne Goyer for their respective contributions to our DMI material (for the uninitiated this is the Disability Maintenance Instrument and its a method/record of how much assistance a person with a disability may need after they have been in work for 6 months).
Like almost all of our stuff we're giving it away for free!
Why for free? (sound of personal rewind button rewinding) - We provide access to our material at no charge because it (the stuff) has been produced to assist services help people with a disability get a job. We had to produce the material and, while we don't have to give it away, by so doing we are saving services across the country heaps of time and money. That means theres more time to spend helping the jobseekers that come to us actually get jobs.

Toronto, September 7, 2016 – A new Ipsos poll reveals that most Canadians don't know how the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) works or what CPP expansion will mean. When presented with some of the probable effects on wages as a result of the expansion, 70% of employed Canadians said they would oppose the hike. In light of this latest information, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) calls for the expansion deal to be put on hold until full education and consultation can take place.

Q: minesweeper flood-fill keeps getting a stack overflow error I am trying to use flood fill to clear an open area in a minesweeper game. I made a simple flood fill function but I keep getting a stack overflow error
code
 public void revealEmpty(int givenIndex){
        if(buttons.get(givenIndex).isEnabled())
            open(givenIndex);

            if(gm.surroundingbombs(givenIndex)==0){

                if(gridsize>givenIndex+gridwidth)
                    revealEmpty(givenIndex+gridwidth);

                if(gridsize>givenIndex+gridwidth+1)
                    revealEmpty(givenIndex+gridwidth+1);

                if(gridsize>givenIndex+gridwidth-1)
                    revealEmpty(givenIndex+gridwidth-1);

                if(gridsize<givenIndex-gridwidth)
                    revealEmpty(givenIndex-gridwidth);

                if(gridsize<givenIndex-gridwidth+1)
                    revealEmpty(givenIndex-gridwidth+1);
                if(gridsize<givenIndex-gridwidth-1)

                    revealEmpty(givenIndex-gridwidth-1);

                 if(gm.rightEdge(givenIndex,gridwidth)){//checks if the button pressed is on the right edge

                        revealEmpty(givenIndex+1);
                }

                 if(gm.leftEdge(givenIndex,gridwidth)){//checks if the button pressed ison the left edge

                    revealEmpty(givenIndex-1);
                }

            }
            else{
                return;
            }

    }

this is the code used top "open" a cell in the grid
public void open(int Bindex){
        Font f = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 26);//font for the buttons
        Font f2 = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 15);//font for the move tracker
        if(gm.surroundingbombs(Bindex)!=0){
            buttons.get(Bindex).setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(1, Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Color.DARK_GRAY));
            buttons.get(Bindex).setIcon(null);
            if(gm.surroundingbombs(Bindex)!=0)
            buttons.get(Bindex).setText(Integer.toString(gm.surroundingbombs(Bindex)));
            if(small)
            buttons.get(Bindex).setFont(f2);
            else
            buttons.get(Bindex).setFont(f);
            buttons.get(Bindex).setBorderPainted(true);
            buttons.get(Bindex).setEnabled(false);
            buttons.get(Bindex).setContentAreaFilled(true);
            buttons.get(Bindex).setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
        }
        else
        buttons.get(Bindex).setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(1, Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Color.DARK_GRAY));
        buttons.get(Bindex).setIcon(null);
        buttons.get(Bindex).setBorderPainted(true);
        buttons.get(Bindex).setEnabled(false);
        buttons.get(Bindex).setContentAreaFilled(true);
        buttons.get(Bindex).setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

    }

I have some inkling as to why it is working, specifically that the way I am tracking my visited cells is not working but I am totaly cluless above that.

A: The problem here is that you check all surrounding JButtons no matter if they are already revealed. To fix the recursive calls try changing the if-statement to surround the entire code. Like this:
    public void revealEmpty(int givenIndex){
    if(buttons.get(givenIndex).isEnabled()) { //If statement opens here
        open(givenIndex);

        if (gm.surroundingbombs(givenIndex) == 0) {

            if (gridsize > givenIndex + gridwidth)
                revealEmpty(givenIndex + gridwidth);

            if (gridsize > givenIndex + gridwidth + 1)
                revealEmpty(givenIndex + gridwidth + 1);

            if (gridsize > givenIndex + gridwidth - 1)
                revealEmpty(givenIndex + gridwidth - 1);

            if (gridsize < givenIndex - gridwidth)
                revealEmpty(givenIndex - gridwidth);

            if (gridsize < givenIndex - gridwidth + 1)
                revealEmpty(givenIndex - gridwidth + 1);
            if (gridsize < givenIndex - gridwidth - 1)

                revealEmpty(givenIndex - gridwidth - 1);

            if (gm.rightEdge(givenIndex, gridwidth)) {//checks if the button pressed is on the right edge

                revealEmpty(givenIndex + 1);
            }

            if (gm.leftEdge(givenIndex, gridwidth)) {//checks if the button pressed ison the left edge

                revealEmpty(givenIndex - 1);
            }

        } else {
            return;
        }
    } else { //And ends here
        return;
    }

}

How entrepreneurial orientation translates social identities into performance

{{ moreBtnText }}
Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has been viewed almost exclusively through the lens of profit-driven firms. However, individuals engage in entrepreneurship not only for economic reasons but also to enrich a community or to advance society. Drawing on upper echelons theory, the purpose of this paper is to address this issue by proposing that founders' social identities shape the strategic choices of their ventures.
Drawing on the data from 318 founders in the early stages of their entrepreneurial activity, the study applies partial least squares structural equation modeling to empirically test whether founders' social identities influence their ventures' EO.
The findings of the current research show that founders whose dominant purpose is the creation of value for others are more likely to launch ventures oriented toward innovation. On the other hand, ventures of founders driven by economic self-interest accept more risk, which leads to higher performance outcomes on the enterprise, community and societal levels.
The study enhances the EO discussion by adding social identity theory as a way to explain different levels of EO in firms and answers the call for more diversity in EO–performance measurement by applying specific outcomes on the enterprise, community and societal levels to investigate whether a firm's EO leads to the desired outcomes.

The "New Economy" was the economic buzzword of the 1990s. Digitization and networking, accompanied disproportionally by an increasing efficiency of information and communication technology exchanges, served as the foundation for sustainable economic changes in the way business is conducted (Gersch & Goeke, 2004). The new Internet architecture and the economic transactions that are based on it became of increasing importance worldwide.

A broad range of policy evaluations below is begun in Chapter 2 by Kate Johnston, Colette Henry and Simon Gillespie in their evaluation entitled 'Encouraging Research and Development in Ireland's Biotechnology Enterprises'. This investigation critically evaluates Irish government policy towards biotechnology development over a preceding 10-year period. In Chapter 3, Anthony Ward, Sarah Cooper, Frank Cave and William Lucas examine 'The Effect of Industrial Experience on Entrepreneurial Intent and Self-Efficacy in UK Engineering Undergraduates' in a large-scale study that generally produces satisfactory results in terms of raising the profile of entrepreneurship among undergraduates. Deirdre Hunt, in Chapter 4, again focuses on the evolution of strategy in Ireland, this time towards the more general topic of new firm formation with a personal contribution entitled 'Now You See Them — Now You Don't: Paradoxes in Enterprise Development Strategy: The Case of the Disappearing Academic Start-Ups'.

Food Safety Advocates Speak Out about E. coli O157:H7 Outbreak
SAN DIEGO—The San Diego County Health Department announced yesterday that commercial bagged lettuce mix was the source of sixteen cases of potential E. coli O157:H7 in San Diego, and four cases in Orange County. The product was used in salads at Pat & Oscar's restaurants, as well as in school lunches in San Diego County.
Contaminated lettuce was the source of an outbreak in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2002. Over 50 high school girls attending a dance camp at Eastern Washington University were sickened as a result of consuming the contaminated lettuce. Some suffered severe complications of their infections, and were hospitalized with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, or HUS.
"Clearly, there is a problem when our public schools and universities are serving contaminated product," said William Marler, the Seattle attorney best known for successful representation of E. coli victims, who represents several people sickened in last year's E. coli outbreak. "The lettuce didn't get contaminated by itself. Somewhere, whether it was on the farm or during the production process, the lettuce came in contact with fecal matter. Now that lettuce is being served to our kids through the USDA's National School Lunch Program. It's disgusting."
