Candidate has provided information.
Thank candidate for sharing their information on Voter's Edge.
My Top 3 Priorities
Getting people back to work. We need quality paying jobs where we can actually take care of our families and have money left over.
Education. Our children are being sexualized in school and the California education system is amongst the last in the country and our country is failing because of it. I will pass legislation to make our school competitive again.
Women's rights. Women are under attack in America. Biological men identifying as women are competing against our daughters in everything from sports to relationships and taking away opportunities for our young women to be successful.
Profession:Owner of a Government contracting company
Owner Of JT Acquisitions, self (2018–current)
AD 1 Petty Officer First Class, U.S. Navy (2004–2017)
University of Phoenix — Bachelors of Science, Accounting (2020)
Joe Edward Collins III is a 13 1/2-year Navy Veteran from South Central LA. He's the CEO of a contracting and development company and also sits on the board of a private global development company. He's a licensed financial professional and holds a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from the University of Phoenix. He is the former host of KABC's radio show New Black Republican and a current Congressional candidate for California's 36th district.
Collins grew up on 104th and Normandie in South Central Los Angeles, Ca, and knows this district all too well; Extreme amounts of Homelessness, Crime, Lack of Quality Education, and High Gang Activity.
One Sunday, the home that Joe and his family lived in was the target of a drive-by shooting. Upon returning home from his grandfather's church, they found that bullets had made their way through the windows and into the cushions of the family sofa. At this moment Joe's mother decided that it was time for her and her children to move from South Central Los Angeles. She moved her family to a rural town outside of Dallas Texas (Joe's mother is still a teacher in the suburbs of Dallas).
After completing high school in Texas, Joe made the most important decision of his life; He joined the U.S. Navy.
Joe Collins spent 13 years in the Navy and quickly rose to the rank of First Class Petty Officer (E-6). He worked on and trained thousands of sailors on many types of aircraft including the F-18 Super Hornet, E6 Mercury, and the MH60 Sea-hawk. With the help of the U.S. Navy, he also became a licensed financial professional, as well as a Certified Counselor for rape and sexual assault victims. Joe also was a recruiter and earned numerous honors and awards. This was a role Joe enjoyed immensely, as he had the pleasure of jump-starting the careers of many of our young American leaders of today.
Joe proudly served during the successful campaign, "Operation Iraqi Freedom". Joe left the U.S. Navy in Sept of 2017, with a desire to continue serving his country, and this time it would be in a Leadership role in politics.
Since already taking an oath to defend our country and its people, the decision to serve and defend those without a voice in his California District was one he would proudly make.

Questions from League of Women Voters of California (4)
What legislation, if any, would you support to reduce American greenhouse gas production? Please explain the reasons for your position.
Answer from Joe E. Collins, III:
I believe preserving our world is the responsibility of all humankind. Gradually transitioning to a more conservative conservation plan would be my priority. We have used fossil fuels from the dawn of time and I believe that technology will eventually reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
My agenda will promote research and development that will increase employment, technology innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Should immigration laws be changed? What changes would you support? Please explain why.
I do not believe federal immigration laws need to be changed, I think they need to be followed. I do feel that California does not need to be a sanctuary state.
A lot of our California taxpayer dollars are going to people who are breaking federal laws by coming to this county illegally. If we as U.S. citizens break federal laws we are held accountable and punished accordingly without remorse so what makes an illegal better than you or I to where they are rewarded with free housing, medical and stimulus checks they did not earn nor deserve when we Americans living on the streets homeless and seniors citizens and children whose families are struggling to make ends meet.
As Congress Member what, if any, policies or legislation would you support to preserve democracy for all US residents?
Any policy that limits the government's forced interference in your life. The government was made to benefit the people not rule the people.
The Federal Government plays a part in California water allocation and use through a variety of projects and laws. What, if any, new programs or projects or reforms to existing programs and projects would you support in an effort to handle water shortages caused by the current and any future drought?
I don't think we should have any type of water shortage when California is right near the ocean. I would support any legislation that would support ending water shortages in California.

Political Beliefs
Joe E Collins III ran for Congress in the 2020 election against Maxine where he got almost 80 thousand votes, which is three times more than any other candidate both Democrat and Republican to run against her. He also organized teams that registered more than fifty thousand new Republican voters in the 43rd district.
Joe is a South Los Angeles native and says crime, drugs, inadequate schools, and poverty plaguing the community when he was a child are still issues today. But Joe is confident his Five Point Plan which calls for rebuilding communities together, improving education for children, bringing high-paying jobs to the area, promoting financial literacy, and taking steps to end homelessness can clean up and bring integrity and opportunities to California Communities.
In 2022 Joe Collins plans on running for Congress in California's NEW 36th congressional district. Joe is confident his Five Point Plan which calls for rebuilding communities together, improving education, bringing high-paying jobs to the area, promoting financial literacy, and taking steps to end homelessness can clean up and bring integrity and opportunities to California communities. Joe E. Collins III is looking forward to representing California's 36th Congressional district and its constituents in 2022.
Let's Grow together.
Homelessness in California
Most candidates this year have vowed to declare the homeless crisis an emergency and deliver a large number of short-term shelter options. Few have offered more permanent housing options, to prevent short-term shelter residents from cycling back out onto the street. Do you intend to deliver long-term housing options for homeless people?
Long-term housing is simply putting a band-aid on a cut.
1. I will create a budget to reopen mental health facilities and make it so people who have mental health problems can not check themselves out until their treatment is complete.
2. I will create a recidivism program so we can get ex-felons jobs and housing
3. Cut restrictions on development and energy so we can lower the cost of living so people can afford housing.
4. Incentivize businesses to come back to California with tax breaks and encourage entrepreneurship by creating business and financial literacy classes for small businesses and aspiring business owners.

It's interesting that newly annexed areas don't provide taxes to Charleston for 6 years in James Island and a TBD period in West Ashley. I guess it is fair since the PSD paid for the infrastructure.
I would assume taxes might be going up in St. Andrews (West Ashley) and James Island PSDs in a few years as the tax revenues from these annexed areas run out. That could widen the gap in Charleston's favor even further.
I wonder how soon the James Island case will be heard by the SC Supreme Court.
Losing James Island for most of the year, no doubt made a difference. Area-wise,not a great year, but decent. Eventual population increase is pretty respectable though.
If the Long Savannah project annexes to Charleston in 2007, it would more than make-up for a so-so 2006.
Greenville added 242 acres this year. Beaufort will probably hold the SC record this year, more than 4,000 acres I think. Of course Hardeeville or Bluffton might have added a similiar or larger amount given their recent history. I wonder if the Secretary of State's office compiles statewide figures.
I would have thought that Charleston's annexations included more people. It doesn't say how many parcels were included though, so perhaps that tells a deifferent story.
True^ but I was referring to James Island annexations, of which I thought there were more.
^ Hopefully if the 3rd incorporation of the rest of James Island gets thrown out, Chas can make some more annexation gains on the island. As for West Ashley, the Centex development you referred to is Carolina Bay, which is slated to have 1,500 homes, if I'm not mistaken. The Long Savannah project should indeed annex into the city this year, providing an additional 3,000 homes.
The growth rate got slowed a bit, but all signs point to substantial growth in the next couple of years. Keep in mind that there is a big donut hole the city wants to acquire in the Cainhoy area...let's see what happens there.
you know what would be nice is if charleston county's other cities, towns, etc were all consilidated under the city of charleston....like they did in jacksonville and duval county, fl. i think it would help with public safety, schools, property taxes, taxes in general. i think that if the county was consilidated our leaders can really look at what to do to make charleston a better place, than having all the other municipalities working against each other instead of with each other...especially north charleston.
I think they tried that back in the 70's, and it got shot down....just like all other past attempts at city/county consolidation in the state.
Long Savannah is in limbo right now. Charleston has agreed to work with the county's Urban Growth Boundary, so there is no possibility of the city stabbing the county in the back (like North Charleston would do in a heartbeat). Hollywood could possibly follow North Charleston's lead and annex Long Savannah first, but Hollywood doesn't have the water and sewer lines the project needs. I think in the long run, the project will be vastly scaled down before it is annexed into the city of Charleston.
The Long Savannah developer has said they will annex to Charleston, plus it would be difficult for Hollywood to get contigiuos to the site. The housing slowdown may elongate the Long Savannah timeline, but I doubt the total number of units would change on that basis. The urban boundary issue and Red Top community opposition might result in some reuctions/changes though.
^ I know it's hard to believe a developer can't get everything he wants (or more) in this county, but I think this development really is behind the eight ball. Many councilmen (and councilwoman) have said they won't approve Long Savannah. In response, the developers pledged to scale down their plans until they reached a point where they wouldn't have to widen Bear Swamp Road. More recently, there was a rumor reported in the P&C that the Parks & Rec. Department was in negotiations to buy more than half the parcel and turn it into the largest park in the county. It was stated that the developers were hoping this deal would earn them good will with the county council for approval of a scaled-down development.
This illustrates that the only reason the PSD and recreation district continue to exist is that they provide job justification (or really duplication) for the employees. I wish the PSD/Recreation District and the city would just negotiate a deal so that the PSD and Rec. district go away but the employees get absorbed by the city. I think that North Charleston did something like that with the PSD they competed with in the '80's or '90's.

Q: Nav Menu Item Flexi Width I'd like to do a nav menu like Zillow.com where as the screen shrinks, the width of each item shrinks a bit also. How is this done?
Here is the page I'm working on.
Cheers

A: Well, as inspected from the css of Zillow.com, you can find these attribute on the menu item <section class="nav-section nav-dropdown nav-section_wide" > ... </section>
the css part is:
.nav-top-container .nav-section {
    width: auto;
    height: 100%;
    -webkit-box-flex: 1 0 auto;
    -webkit-flex: 1 0 auto;
    -ms-flex: 1 0 auto;
    flex: 1 0 auto;
}

According to http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_flex.asp, the flex attribute Let all the flexible items be the same length, regardles of its content. And the menu section's parent div has css:
max-width: 680px;
-webkit-flex-grow: 10;
-ms-flex-grow: 10;
-webkit-box-flex: 10;
-ms-flex-positive: 10;
flex-grow: 10;

so it has max width 680px, but will change width when screen gets smaller by 10. Please refer http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_flex-grow.asp

IPL 2020: Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after CSK vs KKR match (updated)
Shubman Gill became the 7th batsman to cross 400 runs in IPL 2020 (Credits: IPLT20.com)
Srinjoy Sanyal
Shubman Gill moved closer to the top 3 of the IPL 2020 Orange Cap list after today's match.
Varun Chakravarthy is the only finger spinner among the top 10 leading wicket-takers in IPL 2020.
Shubman Gill followed up his 57 against KXIP on Monday with a 17-ball 26 tonight in KKR's six-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2020 match on Thursday. The 21-year-old jumped 2 places to occupy 6th position on the IPL 2020 Orange Cap list with an aggregate of 404 runs in 13 matches.
KL Rahul looks set to win his maiden Orange Cap as he sits pretty at the top of the batting charts with 595 runs under his belt. There was no change at the top of the IPL 2020 Purple Cap list either as Kagiso Rabada continues to lead the table, having picked up 23 wickets so far in the season.
Faf du Plessis, though, dropped down 2 slots after being replaced by Shane Watson in tonight's game. The South African is in 7th position with 401 runs to his name.
Varun Chakravarthy picked his 15th IPL 2020 wicket tonight (Credits: IPLT20.com)
Varun Chakravarthy's breakout season continued as he returned impressive figures of 2 for 20 from 4 overs tonight to move up to 8th on the IPL 2020 Purple Cap list. Chakravarthy, who recently got a national call-up, has picked up 15 wickets in 12 games at an economy rate of 7.
CSK all-rounder Sam Curran went wicketless tonight, but he remained in 11th position having taken 13 wickets in as many matches so far in the tournament.
The focus will shift to Abu Dhabi tomorrow as the Rajasthan Royals lock horns with the Kings XI Punjab to stay alive in the race for a playoffs berth. While KL Rahul can extend his lead at the top of the IPL 2020 Orange Cap list, Jofra Archer will know he is just 3 wickets away from being among the top 3 wicket-takers this season.

CSK steepens KKR's climb to the IPL 2020 playoffs
CSK still continue to languish at the bottom of the points table (Credits: IPLT20.com)
Ruturaj Gaikwad's highest IPL score and a quickfire cameo from Ravindra Jadeja helped the Chennai Super Kings clinch a thrilling victory off the last ball over the KKR in Match 49 of IPL 2020 at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday night.
After MS Dhoni elected to field, Shubman Gill (26 off 17) and Nitish Rana got KKR off to a steady start as the duo put on 53 runs for the opening wicket. Even though CSK stemmed the flow of runs in the middle overs, Rana (87 off 61) and later Dinesh Karthik (21 not out off 10) upped the ante to power KKR to 172 for 5.
In reply, CSK got off to a similar start and Ruturaj Gaikwad (72 off 53) and Ambati Rayudu (38 off 20) seemed to take the game away from KKR's grasp with a 68-run second-wicket stand off just 37 balls.
Varun Chakravarthy (2 for 20) then just about did the perfect damage control until Ravindra Jadeja (31 not out off 11) helped CSK plunder 30 runs off the final 2 overs to make KKR's chances of qualifying for the IPL 2020 playoffs tougher.

2021 | Original or fake
Original or fake? Counterfeit-proof and unique identification shows authenticity of products
Counterfeit-proof product protection and resilient supply chains are the goals of the Fraunhofer SmartID project. The Fraunhofer Institutes for Applied Polymer Research IAP, for Secure Information Technology SIT and for Open Communication Systems FOKUS are developing a novel marking system that can determine the authenticity of products via smart devices even while being offline, i.e. without access to a database. SmartID will be embedded in existing track & trace infrastructures and can be printed on products or their packaging using commercially available printing processes.
The SmartID labeling is designed to help producers, retailers and end customers to identify counterfeit products via smart device.
Counterfeit or uncertified products circulate in large numbers in the market, among them FFP2 masks. Consumers often have no ability to verify the authenticity of a product. In the case of counterfeit medical products and pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even food there can also be serious consequences for health.
Product authentication from the producer to the end customer
Comprehensive product protection can only be achieved through a system that ensures verifiability of product authenticity from the producer through customs, wholesalers and retailers to the end customer. "This is what we are striving for in the SmartID project. Everyone in this chain should be able to authenticate a product securely. We are taking advantage of the fact that many people have a smart device these days", explains Dr. Tobias Jochum, who coordinates the project and works as a specialist in anti-counterfeiting at the Hamburg Center for Applied Nanotechnology CAN, a research division of the Fraunhofer IAP.
In SmartID, each product will be labeled as unique and authentic. To this end, the scientists involved are bringing together materials science expertise with cutting-edge software. Fraunhofer IAP is developing novel materials for counterfeit-proof labeling that can be detected via smart devices. The Fraunhofer Institutes SIT and FOKUS are developing special software for reading and encrypting this physical marking. Further, an app will be developed allowing the customers to verify the product via their smart devices.
Use of existing track & trace infrastructure, but without database
With their identification, the partners are building on existing track & trace barcodes. SmartID is designed so that QR codes, Data Matrix codes and all other ISO-normed barcodes can be used and read using a smart device. But contrary to the conventional approach, users can also check the authenticity verification without database matching. "This offers several advantages: On the other hand, with SmartID we avoid various IT security and data protection challenges that arise when using a central database, as well as the high costs associated with installing, commissioning and maintaining databases", says Jochum.
In the first phase of the project, the partners are focusing on establishing secure and unique identifiers on product packaging and optimizing processes in terms of costs. One goal here is to print SmartID identifiers on packaging using conventional printing technologies. In further developments, SmartID could also be integrated directly into products.
Strong partners from industry
SmartID is supported by an industrial advisory board that brings different expertise along the entire value chain. The partners include REA Elektronik GmbH, DNV, Domino Printing UK and the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association. "While in the past almost exclusively IT solutions were established, SmartID also takes into account the physical component of counterfeit protection and combines it with the best possible IT security", says Steffen Zimmermann of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association.
Dr. Tobias Jochum coordinates the project SmartID.
He is a specialist in anti-counterfeiting at Fraunhofer IAP's research division CAN.

I am forwarding to you a link of a video by Bill Maher who hits on some truths about American culture. At the heart of animal abuse and exploitation is a fundamental dishonesty. From a religious perspective, this dishonesty must be addressed.
Greed - acquisitive desire - is not necessarily, in and of itself, a bad thing - as it may, and does, cause one to aspire. But it certainly is a bad thing if the result is oppression.
We agree, but how do you suggest that we approach this problem to be most effective (have people listen and respond)? This has been our major problem.

The beautiful bell tower at Seongheungsa Temple in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do.
Seongheungsa Temple is located in southeastern Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do. It's scenically located in a valley with a stream that flows the length of it. And beautifully framing Seongheungsa Temple to the north is the towering Mt. Gulamsan, which stands 663.1 metres in height.
You first approach the temple down the long valley with the tranquil stream to your left. Eventually you arrive on the grounds at the terraced temple parking lot. A little further up the paved pathway that leads towards the main temple grounds, you'll notice a large seven tier stone pagoda to your right. Lined with pink flowers around its base, and fronted by two stone lanterns, the pagoda is well protected on all four corners by stone guardians.
Just a little further up the path, you'll see that the temple grounds are beautifully backed by the towering mountains to the north. To gain access to the temple grounds, you'll pass through the Cheonwangmun Gate. Housed inside this temple gate are four statues dedicated to the Four Heavenly Kings. Each appears to be older in age.
Finally standing in the lower temple courtyard, you'll notice the visitors' centre to your left and the monks' dorms to your right. These two buildings are the only buildings at the temple that are unadorned at Seongheungsa Temple.
Up a small flight of stairs, you'll see the main hall straight ahead of you. Populating the well-manicured main courtyard is an older tree to your left with colourful paper lanterns hanging from its limbs, as well as the two storied bell pavilion to your right. On the first floor of the bell pavilion is a large bronze bell, while the second floor houses a large drum.
Stepping inside the Daeung-jeon main hall, you'll notice a large guardian mural on the far left wall. And on the far right wall is a painting dedicated to Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife). As for the main altar, you'll see a triad of seated statues. In the centre rests Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise). He's joined on either side by Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion) and Daesaeji-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Strength and Wisdom for Amita-bul). The exterior walls to the main hall are only adorned with the traditional dancheong colours, and the Daeung-jeon Hall dates back to the late Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910).
To the left of the main hall is the Nahan-jeon Hall. The exterior walls are adorned with simplistic Shimu-do, Ox-Herding, murals. Stepping inside the Nahan-jeon Hall, you'll notice a triad of statues seated on the main altar. In the centre of the three sits Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha). The triad is then joined by two levels of Nahan statues. Seated on the ground, and much larger in size, are the sixteen disciples of the Buddha, while in the upper levels are smaller statues of additional Nahan statues.
And to the right of the main hall rest`s the Samseong-gak shaman shrine hall. The exterior walls to this hall are beautifully adorned with the most popular shaman deities, as well as a realistic depiction of a tiger on the left rear exterior wall. Stepping inside the Samseong-gak, you'll first be greeted by a painting and statue of Yongwang (The Dragon King). The next pair of a painting and a statue are dedicated to Dokseong (The Lonely Saint), while in the centre of the main altar hangs an elaborate mural of Chilseong (The Seven Stairs). The final pairing is dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit). While the painting is rather bland, the realistic features of the statue are something to keep an eye out for.
HOW TO GET THERE: The only real viable option to get to Seongheungsa Temple is by car. So a taxi from the Changwon Intercity Bus Terminal to Seongheungsa Temple takes around 40 minutes, and it'll cost 28,000 won.
OVERALL RATING: 6/10. While not a huge temple, Seongheungsa Temple has a lot of features to draw a visitor in like the large seven story stone pagoda at the entrance of the temple, as well as the dozens of Nahan statues and the paintings adorning the exterior walls to the Samseong-gak shaman shrine hall.

Hi Everyone. it is Christine from Susan Tierney-Cockburn's Design Team and today I am sharing a birthday card that I designed for my sister using Susan's Garden Notes Sunflower die. This card is a 6″ X 6″.
Here is how the card was made.
Cut 12″ X 12″ Dark Chocolate cardstock in half (2 pieces 6″ X 12″) set 1 piece aside to use later. Score 1 piece at 6″ and fold so that the outside of the card is brown crease and then unfold.
Using Paris Edge die place 1 end of die on fold and 1 edge at bottom of card ( see photos). Run through die cutting machine (I run it through 2-3 times). Trim away the top piece on the crease.
Take the remaining piece of dark chocolate cardstock cut 1 piece 5-3/4″ X 5-3/4″ adhere to the inside of the card using clear double sided adhesive.
Using Through the Lens Stone Series paper cut a piece 5-1/2″ X 5-1/2″ adhere to the brown cardstock on inside of card.
Using A Way With Words Happy Birthday die cut 1 from the remaing piece of dark chocolate cardstock and one from white cardstock. Attach brown Happy Birthday to upper right of card using clear drying glue then attach white in same manner offsetting slightly giving it a shadow look.
Cut 2 Leafy Branches cut them apart, shape on molding pad using ball tool, arrange and adhere to from flap using clear drying glue.
Cut, color and shape 3 sunflowers and some leaves using Susan's tool kit and mats. Susan has a video that is very helpful in making these sunflowers it can be found here.
Attach flowers and leaves to front card flap over the leafy branches usinf clear drying glue.
Using the next to the smallest stitched oval die cut 1 piece from white cardstock. Using the large oval die from Accordion Oval card cut 1 piece from dark chocolate. Adhere the white oval on top of the brown oval using double sided clear adhesive.
Stamp on the white oval using Susan's Seeds of Thought Stamp – Happiness Comes From Within using black (or brown) ink.
I do hope that you have enjoyed my post as much as I have enjoyed creating it. Now it is your turn to create your card following my tutorial.
Beautiful card Christine! Love how you used the Paris Edges. Really pretty!!
I think this card is so clever. At first, when I just saw the first two pictures I didn't get it. I can be pretty dense at times. Then I read all the directions and realized that the floral/Paris edges opens up to reveal the sentiment! I just love that and am going to copy it as soon as I can! Thank you so much for sharing this great idea!


Dear customers! On this page we would like to introduce you a masterpiece in the world of dog collars. The close collaboration of our talented designers and skillful craftsmen showed good results and offered our customers the collar which your dog will definitely like.
Our Handmade Royal Nappa Padded Dog Collar won't leave anybody indifferent to this piece of art. Every detail in this collar serves as an adornment and adds some special appeal to the collar: handmade leather braids, the brass brooch that is placed between the braids, white stitching on the edges and even rivets that fix all this decoration.
It doesn't matter what color you will choose black or brown, it will look stunning in both ones. This collar is a perfect combination of comfort and luxury in one item. You may use this amazing collar for regular training activities and for your Cane Corso's showing off during walks.
The two layers of the leather are stitched together with strong white thread for additional durability. The upper layer is full grain genuine leather that perfectly maintains the shape of the collar. Its polished edges don't fray or deform after long-time service. The inside lining is soft pleasant-to-touch Nappa leather that is very gentle to the dog's skin. It protects your Cane Corso from discomfort that may be caused by skin rubbing. By the way, this Nappa padding also serves as an adornment because the lining outsteps the upper layer creating something like tan frame.
The collar is fastened with a massive brass buckle that has no contact with your dog's fur and skin due to the fur protecting plate. Solid brass D-ring will never fall out because it is placed between two layers of the leather and fixed with rivets on both sides.


The Gold Coast Suns have been granted a provisional license to compete in the AFL's elite women's competition from 2020.
Major Events Minister and Acting Minister for Women Kate Jones today congratulated the club on being chosen to join the rapidly expanding competition.
"The AFLW took the nation by storm in its inaugural season, surprising many with the massive level of support for the women's game," Ms Jones said.
"Seeing these elite sportswomen not only taking on the nation's best but also getting the public and media recognition they deserve was inspirational.
"And nobody will soon forget the wonderful effort of the Brisbane Lions women's team to reach the Grand Final of the very first AFLW season.
Minister for Sport Mick de Brenni said the announcement of the new Suns team shows the strength of women's footy in Queensland.
"Women's footy has a long, strong and proud history in Queensland," Mr de Brenni said.
"At the beginning of the inaugural women's season the southern commentators and pundits said the Lions were destined for the wooden spoon and they were dead wrong.
"The fact of the matter is that women's footy in Queensland has been as strong as anywhere in the country for a long time.
The AFLW will welcome North Melbourne and Geelong to the competition in 2019, followed by the Gold Coast Suns, West Coast Eagles, Richmond and St Kilda in 2020.


Hunt Brothers Pizza makes its fourth start of 2018 as a primary sponsor with driver Kevin Harvick in the No. 98 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing with Biagi-DenBeste (SHR) during Saturday's NASCAR XFINITY Series race Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.
Hunt Brothers Pizza will pay tribute to the 20th anniversary of Harvick's 1998 NASCAR West Series Championship with a throwback paint scheme on the No. 98 Ford Mustang. The 2018 scheme was inspired by the No. 75 Spears Manufacturing car that Harvick raced to five wins, 11 top-five finishes, 12 top-10s and five poles in 1998 en route to his first NASCAR championship.
Hunt Brothers Pizza and Haas CNC Racing first teamed up for the 2008 season. In 2014, Hunt Brothers Pizza reunited with what had become SHR to serve as a sponsor in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. When SHR formed an XFINITY Series team for the 2017 season, Hunt Brothers Pizza became a primary sponsor with Harvick and the No. 41 team – which is now the No. 98.
Harvick is making his final of five scheduled XFINITY Series starts in the No. 98 Ford Mustang for SHR in 2018.
He won at Atlanta Motor Speedway in his first start of the season in the No. 98, finished 19th at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, eighth at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn and second at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.
Harvick has one pole, three top-five finishes, nine top-10s and 189 laps led in 15 XFINITY Series starts at Darlington.
Harvick won the pole at Darlington in August 2003 with a lap at 167.516 mph.
His XFINITY Series career includes 47 wins, 185 top-five finishes, 259 top-10s, 25 poles and 9,688 laps led in 345 starts.
Harvick will be joined Saturday by SHR teammate Cole Custer in the No. 00 Ford Mustang.
The Hunt Brothers Pizza paint scheme gives a nod to your beginnings in NASCAR, inspired by your 1998 NASCAR West Series championship. What does running the Hunt Brothers Pizza throwback scheme like that mean to you?
What makes Darlington Raceway so unique in terms of the racing?
What is it about Darlington that makes it special for you as a competitor?

Did your friend or family member just purchase a home and announce their housewarming party? Do you always have a hard time figuring out what to bring as your gift, so you default to a bottle of wine, or something that will go in a drawer and never be used?
Give the best housewarming gift that your other friends or family will be jealous of! My wife and I have given this gift several times (we even wished our friends would do this for us when we bought our home)! This gift is something that will continuously be used!
A Home Depot paint bucket! This bucket can be used for many, many projects. Holders are sold that attach to the bucket to hold tools, it can be used as a seat, it can hold items for your project, etc.
Which leads me to the next part of the gift. Don't just give the bucket! Fill it with stuff that the new homebuyer will need!
Often times when people buy a home, they forget about the essentials they will need in their new home. Stocking up their medicine cabinet and/or around-the-house tools they'll need throughout the years would make your housewarming gift the most efficient and probably the most used! The best thing about this gift is that it is VERY cost efficient for you! You don't have to break the bank to give your family or friends a great gift.


Course "The New EU Medical Device regulation" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.
In 2012, the Commission adopted a package of measures on innovation in health. The package consisted of a Communication and two regulation proposals to revise existing legislation on general medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices. In particular, the Directives on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC) and on medical devices (93/42/EEC) are intended to be replaced by a Regulation on medical devices, while the Directive on in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC) is intended to be replaced by a Regulation on the same subject. The revisions therefore affected all kinds of medical devices including in vitro diagnostic medical devices, from home-use items like sticking plasters, pregnancy tests and contact lenses, to X-ray machines, pacemakers, breast implants, hip replacements and HIV blood tests.
This Seminar will look at what to expect when the new regulation is implemented. Including: the transition period, Effect on Notified Bodies, Impact of the MDR on Quality Management Systems (QMS), technical documentation, clinical trial requirements, UDI and combination products.

Die Bahnstrecke Brodnica–Bydgoszcz ist eine eingleisige und bis auf den kurzen Abschnitt von Bydgoszcz Fordon nach Bydgoszcz Wschód nicht elektrifizierte Eisenbahnstrecke in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Kujawien-Pommern, die nur noch ab Chełmża befahrbar ist und im Personenverkehr betrieben wird.

Verlauf und Zustand

Die Strecke begann im Bahnhof Brodnica (Strasburg (Westpreußen)) an der östlich Brodnicas stillgelegten Bahnstrecke Działdowo–Chojnice, der auch Endpunkt der Bahnstrecke Kutno–Brodnica ist, und verlief südwestwärts über Golub-Dobrzyń (Gollub; km 34,871), dann westwärts über Kowalewo Pomorskie (Schönsee (Westpreußen); km 49,764) an der Bahnstrecke Toruń–Tschernjachowsk, Chełmża (Culmsee/Kulmsee; km 70,075) an der Bahnstrecke Toruń–Malbork, ab wo die Strecke Brodnica–Bydgoszcz noch betrieben wird, und Unisław Pomorski (Unislaw/Kulmischwenzlau; km 85,110) an der stillgelegten Bahnstrecke Toruń–Chełmno nach Bydgoszcz Wschód (Karlsdorf bei Bromberg/Bromberg Ost; km 109,120) an der Bahnstrecke Kutno–Piła.

Die Strecke ist durchgehend eingleisig und im Abschnitt Bydgoszcz Fordon–Bydgoszcz Wschód mit 3000 Volt Gleichspannung elektrifiziert, sonst nicht elektrifiziert. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit im noch befahrbaren Abschnitt beträgt für Personenzüge im Bahnhofsbereich von Chełmża sechzig, bis zum Kilometerpunkt 87,500 achtzig, bis zum Kilometerpunkt 102,140 siebzig, dann noch sechzig Kilometer pro Stunde für Personenzüge, für Güterzüge sind es im Bahnhofsbereich von Chełmża vierzig, sonst fünfzig Kilometer pro Stunde.

Geschichte

Als erster Abschnitt wurde am 1. November 1885 der von Karlsdorf nach Fordon von den Preußischen Staatseisenbahnen eröffnet, es folgte am 25. Oktober 1893 die Fortsetzung nach Culmsee an der 1882 eröffneten Strecke von Thorn nach Graudenz (1883 weiter nach Marienburg), am 1. Juli 1894 wurde die Fortsetzung nach Schönsee an der 1871–1873 eröffneten Strecke Thorn–Allenstein–Insterburg in Betrieb genommen und am 1. November 1900 das letzte Stück von Schönsee über Gollub nach Strasburg an der 1887–1888 eröffneten Strecke Soldau–Jablonowo (ab 1903 Goßlershausen).

Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges 1918, dem Versailler Vertrag 1919 und der Abtretung des Polnischen Korridors 1920 ging die Strecke an die Polnischen Staatseisenbahnen über. Während der deutschen Besetzung Polens 1939–1945 nach dem Polenfeldzug wurde die Strecke von der Deutschen Reichsbahn betrieben, 1939 (1941 wiederhergestellt) und 1945 wurde die Brücke über die Weichsel (heute Rudolf-Modrzejewski-Brücke) schwer beschädigt, sie wurde 1952–1956 neugebaut.

Seit dem 31. Mai 1984 ist die Strecke von Bydgoszcz Wschód bis Bydgoszcz Fordon elektrifiziert. Am 1. Oktober 1999 wurde der Personenverkehr zwischen Brodnica und Chełmża eingestellt, am 3. April 2000 wurde auch der von Chełmża nach Bydgoszcz Fordon und danach auch der zwischen Bydgoszcz Fordon und Bydgoszcz Wschód eingestellt. Seit dem 13. Dezember 2008 verkehren wieder Personenzüge zwischen Chełmża und Bydgoszcz, während der östliche Abschnitt zwischen Brodnica und Kowalewo Pomorskie stillgelegt ist und der Abschnitt von Kowalewo Pomorskie und Chełmża zwar noch auf der Streckenliste von PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe aufgeführt wird, allerdings als unbefahrbar.

Q: MapReduce Cast from LongWritable to VIntWritable Dears,
I have a Map Reduce application whose Mapper accepts input with the following Data Types for input key and input value.
public class The_Mapper extends MapReduceBase implements
Mapper <**VIntWritable, Text,** VIntWritable, VIntWritable>

The input file format in the Driver is SequenceFileInputFormat..
My input is a .txt file. To be accepted as an input to the application, I converted it to Sequence File with an Identity Mapper and Reducer, but since the input key for txt files can't be VIntWritable (should be LongWritable), the output key and output value from the Identity Reducer are in this Data types:
public class My_TextToSequenceReducer extends MapReduceBase implements Reducer <LongWritable, Text, **LongWritable, Text**>
However, this cannot be accepted as an input to the Mapper of the application as I described in first paragraph above and it throws
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable cannot be cast  to org.apache.hadoop.io.VIntWritable

In the TexttoSequence Job setup, the Input format is declared as follows:
conf.setInputFormat(TextInputFormat.class);
conf.setOutputFormat(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);
SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputCompressionType(conf, CompressionType.BLOCK);

Then, the output of this Job is given as an input to another Job with this setup:
conf.setInputFormat(SequenceFileInputFormat.class);
conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);

The application was written with Apache Hadoop 1.2.0 it is open-source and I forked it to re-use it. (The Hadoop version I use to run it is newer, i.e. 2.7.5, but I guess it's backward compatible ..., and this shouldn't be a problem)
How can I solve this? Thank you in advance!


This high-potency superfood rich in natural Vitamin C delivers 600mg of natural Vitamin C per 3g serve.
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Mothers: use 1/2 to 1 serve daily.
Children: DO NOT GIVE CAPSULES to children - use only PURE POWDER (click here for powder) - 1/3 of level teaspoon daily mixed in water, juice or added to food.


So the quick fix would be to change these lines so that Apache would listen on port 8080 both for IPv4 (first line) and IPv6 (second line).
But as I said: I needed Apache to listen on port 80. So first I needed to understand what process on my computer was using port 80.
That gave me the PID (in my case 4) of a windows service that I then could identify using Window's Task Manager as "ntoskrnl.exe". To cut a long story short: There is indeed a windows service that listens on port 80 for a number of good reasons that go beyond this quick post. But I found this post that explained how I could have these services only list on port 80 using IPv6 and by doing so this would free up port 80 on my Windows 10 client.

South Australia Geography
South Australia is the fourth largest of Australia's states and territories, and is composed of an arid to semi-arid terrain giving way to low mountain ranges.
The Mount Lofty-Flinders Ranges extend some 497 miles (800 km) across South Australia, and are the state's most important (albeit not tallest) mountain system.
The highest point of South Australia is Mount Woodroffe at 4,708 ft (1,435 m) located in the Musgrave Ranges in the extreme northwestern portion of the state.
Fronted by cliffs of the Great Australia Bight, the Nullarbor Plain makes up the southwestern portion of South Australia, and is the world's largest single piece of limestone.
The Nullarbor Plain expands some 77,000 sq. miles (200,000 sq. km) and stretches 684 miles (1,100 km.) west into the state of Western Australia.
Significant bodies of water include Lakes Eyre, Gairdner, Torrens, and Frome, and the Murray River.
The lowest point of the South Australia is Lake Eyre at −16 m (−52.5 ft).

You may have heard the term get tossed around pretty often, but found it a little complicated to comprehend. Variable data printing is when you have the same design for multiple prints but wish to have an element within the design that is different. A great example of this is business cards and printed envelopes!
For example, if you want to print envelopes to send out your wedding invitations and you want everything the same except for the recipient information, then variable data printing on printed envelopes may be right for you! Learn more about envelope printing and the cost of printed envelopes!
Another use that is especially useful with variable data printing are business cards! If you have the same design for the business cards but the information for each of your employees is different, then you may be interested in variable data printing for employee's business cards.
How can variable data printing help me?
Variable data printing will save you time!
In the case of variable data printing envelopes, it will take away all of the pains involved in repetitive handwriting of addresses.
Can CatPrint setup my variable data job for me?

"Bark, bark" his voice echoed through the classroom. A minute's pause, and again, "Bark, bark." The first grader wrote his math answers on his paper. The sounds surging from his throat were a familiar companion, but not a welcome one for his teacher or classmates.
"Be quiet!" said one boy across the room.
"I can't concentrate," said another.
"Amir, stop that noise or sit outside the classroom to do your work," demanded the teacher.
Amir has Tourette's Syndrome, a neurological disorder generally first noticed in children around ages 7 through 10 years old.
Tourettes causes a variety of vocal or muscular twitches called "tics." Some of the most common forms of tics are repetitive eye blinking, vocal sounds, facial twitches, head jerking, sniffing objects, touching objects, jumping, bending, shrugging and twisting. Vocal tics can involve throat clearing, grunting and barking sounds. At its extreme, Tourette's can result in physical harm in which the child may punch himself or even swear; however, this is rare. The disorder occurs 3 to 4 times more often in boys than girls.
If you have a child with Tourette's Syndrome, start out the new school year with an understanding of how to manage your child's behavior optimally. Here are some points you want to keep in mind, whether you homeschool or send your child away to school.
Your child's tics may come and go from time to time. A period of head jerks or barks may last several weeks, several months or over a year. Then, suddenly, tics can decrease or seem to completely go away at periods. Usually, they return within three months. When your child resumes his tics after a lull, you might misinterpret his renewed repetitive sounds and movements as stubborn rebelliousness. This is because you have seen him stop performing the tic for an extensive period. So you may believe he can stop at will. You might even accuse him of faking his behavior and order him to stop. To satisfy your demands, your child may try to suppress his strong urge to act on his tic. Unfortunately, this very act of suppression results in a buildup of tension that causes a more severe urge to release the tic. Your child's tics can also depend on the circumstances in his life at the time. His tics often get worse when he is worried or excited. They subside during periods of relaxation or focused activities.
One important thing you want to keep in mind with your child is that Tourettes can be a cause for him receiving unwarranted punishment or reprimands. Brad Cohen, a teacher and author who suffers from Tourette's Syndrome describes a memorable account in his book, Front of the Class: How Tourette's Syndrome Made me the Teacher I Never Had. He tells of an episode during his childhood in which he was seated in the back of his father's car as his father maneuvered at the wheel. Brad had developed several annoying ticks; among them was the irritating tendency to repeatedly bump his knee against the car door. His explanation to his dad that he couldn't help acting on his impulses was getting nowhere. Fed up with having to repeatedly tell his son to stop, Brad's father wacked him to get him to stop the knee knocking. The shock of being slapped stopped Brad's ticks for a short while, but he eventually returned to the knee thumping even though he feared the next smack to come.
Many children with Tourettes have other disruptive and troublesome behaviors that accompany their disorder. Among them are ADHD/ADD and obsessive compulsive disorder OCD. Learning disabilities are also common among children with Tourettes. Because your child with Tourettes may exhibit such an array of unusual behavior, it is wise for you to learn positive discipline techniques that use rewards and parental affection to encourage obedience. These procedures are more effective than methods that emphasize belittling and physical punishment. They lead to better cooperation and less defiance from children with Tourettes.
If your child attends school, distribute Tourettes fact sheets to school personnel he frequently has contact with. Many people are unaware that the disorder exists; this includes some educators as well. Even once you have alerted others about the condition, many people will continue to consider your child's odd behavior as misbehavior. Other than gentle frequent reminders, there's not much you can do to change someone's opinion about an issue. Your patience at home can be the haven your child needs to successfully handle his condition.
Having patience is a priceless quality when dealing with your child who has Tourette's Syndrome. Being patient and tolerant can allow you to be flexible rather than rigid when managing his behavior. This does not mean you should become lax in your discipline methods. It simply means you should realize your child has a condition that is not normal, which makes it difficult for him to control himself at times. Be tolerant particularly if he exhibits extreme forms of ADHD or OCD.
Being consistent when disciplining is important for effective control of your child. But knowing how to address the misbehavior is important, as well. You may have a no-nonsense policy regarding your children shouting at you or calling you names. Your 9-year-old child with Tourettes and accompanying ADHD may have no reservations at all calling you a name or using provoking words when he's angry with you. Whatever your penalty is for his talking back to you, be it extra chores, no computer for an hour, or what have you, enforce it. But realize that part of his actions may be related to his Tourettes and ADHD, which can cause him difficulty in controlling his impulses. Rather than focus on making the punishment severe, emphasize making the penalty consistent. Raising a child with Tourette's Syndrome can truly be a balancing act when determining how to manage inappropriate behavior.
The importance of a supportive and informed family and community cannot be over emphasized when dealing with your child who has Tourettes. Support and understanding can give your child the confidence and skills he needs to self manage his disability in a productive manner. It can also help you affirm that some of your children's behavior may not be misbehavior, it may merely be a disorder that must be managed.

YouTube celebrity Colleen Ballinger, known as the character Miranda Sings, will make her Broadway debut this summer in Waitress: The Musical.
Ballinger, who is a professional singer, has garnered attention with her humorous YouTube channel. Back in 2008, she created "Miranda Sings," a character that covers various artists, including herself. She has over 10 million subscribers and has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on each video. Ballinger has played in musicals since she was a child, and while she's acted as a vocal coach to stars like Ariana Grande over the course of her career, her dream has always been to star in a show on Broadway.
"My goal was the be on Broadway since I was a little girl," Ballinger said in one of her videos. "Everyday I would put on repeat, 'When He Sees Me,' which is the song sung by the [Waitress] character Dawn. And I love that character, it's right up my alley, I love the song, I love all the music."
Ballinger is set to play Dawn for a limited-time run from August 20 to September 15, working alongside current cast members Shoshana Bean and Ben Thompson. Waitress, which was nominated for Best Musical at the Tony Awards over the weekend, has been running on Broadway since 2016. The show, featuring music from Sara Bareilles, is based off the 2007 film telling the story of a waitress and the abusive relationship with her husband. The play follows the waitress' affair with her gynecologist and her attempt to win a huge reward from a pie baking contest.

Sorry it's been a little while, I've been super busy and my school day 8 or 10 hours depending on the day, but today it's only one hour so I can blog. Orientation was fun, it started in NYC where I met all the kids from the US that are going abroad. We had a bunch of meetings there and then we left for France after two days in NY.
This is a pic of all the kids going to France from the US. I am in the third row back on the right side, and my hair looks brown so I might be hard to find.
The flight was 6-7 hours and I sat next to some new friends which was fun. We got dinner and breakfast. Dinner was goat cheese ravioli and pesto cream sauce with some kind of corn and onion salad, a roll and a brownie. It wasn't bad! Breakfast was a muffin. Here's a picture of dinner, my sister was curious about the airplane food so this paragraph is mainly for her.
Next we arrived and went to a youth hospital on the outskirts of Paris where we met all of the other kids from around the world that are studying in France this year. It was really cool to hear all of their accents, especially the kids from New Zealand (who had a 20+hour flight (with some layovers) to France!) We went to Paris on the second day and went to the Eiffel Tower and saw the Louvre and L'arc de Triumph and that bridge with the locks on it-its's completely COVERED in locks it's crazy-from the bus. Under the Eiffel Tower we made a huge circle with the 60+ kids that were there an did this dancing singing type thing. I think it was in Spanish? Everyone looking at us and standing around us but it was fun.
We were in the bus and our leaders told us to close our eyes and when we opened them, the Eiffel Tower was directly on our right.

Q: Get the latest image from IP Camera in Java I'm working on Java APP that will process the stream from the IP Camera (Milesight MS-C2682-P) located on Local network. It will detect objects and trigger actions depending on what's in the image (let´s say it will start an alarm, when a person is detected) - for that I need it to be with minimal delay.
I have an RTSP link "rtsp://username:password@ip_addr:rtsp_port/main", to access stream from my IP Camera, but in my JAVA app there is a 12 seconds delay (and it's increasing). This happens, when images are not handled fast enough, so they are buffered. There are "hacks" and "workarounds" (OpenCV VideoCapture lag due to the capture buffer), but I believe there has to be a prettier solution.
The other link I was able to get is an HTTP one, that uses also H.264 codec (can be used with MJPEG and MPEG4, if there is a possible way to use them effectively). "http://username:password@ip_addr:http_port/ipcam/mjpeg.cgi" - works like a charm.. in Python and browser. However, it doesn´t work in Java, an error is thrown:
OpenCV(4.2.0) C:\build\master_winpack-bindings-win64-vc14-static\opencv\modules\videoio\src\cap_images.cpp:253: error: (-5:Bad argument) CAP_IMAGES: can't find starting number (in the name of file): HTTP_URL in function 'cv::icvExtractPattern'
Both links work smoothly in VLC.
So, the network is not a problem ('cause VLC handles stream with minimal delay) and Python using OpenCV is also doing a good job. It all comes down to Java implementation of OpenCV.. I guess.
Here is a Java code:
VideoPlayer videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer();    // My Class, just creates and updates JFrame, works like a charm with laptop's webcam, so certainly no issues here
Mat image = new Mat();
VideoCapture ipCamera = new VideoCapture(RTSP_URL);
// or the HTTP link
// VideoCapture ipCamera = new VideoCapture(HTTP_URL);

// verify if u got access to camera
if (!ipCamera.isOpened()) {
       System.out.println("ERROR: Camera isn't working !!! ");
       return;
}
System.out.println("OK: Connected to camera.");

while (true) {
        ipCamera.read(image);

        videoPlayer.updateVideo_MatImage(image);
}

And this is the Python code I'm using:
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(RTSP_URL)
# or the HTTP link
# cap = cv2.VideoCapture(HTTP_URL)

while True:
    ret, image = cap.read()
    cv2.imshow("Test", image)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I just need to get the latest image, when a request is made. So I need to avoid any kind of buffering. It has to be implemented in Java since it's a requirement for this project.
So is there a way to get only latest image from camera?
What could cause the error mentioned above?
Thank you guys for any advice.
