MOMocrats Retro: 2007-2011
Bios of MOMocrats who are no longer regular contributors to the site:
MOMocrats Founders
The women who started it all in a California coffee shop.
Glennia Campbell
MOMocrats Founder Glennia Campbell is the writer behind the family travel blog, The Silent I. She found her way to Democratic politics under the tutelage of the late Rev. Dr. William Sloane Coffin, Jr., Cora Weiss, and other anti-war activists and leaders in the anti-nuclear campaigns of the 1980's. She co-founded MOMocrats with Beth Blecherman and Stefania Pomponi Butler out of a desire to include the voices of progressive women, particularly mothers, in the political dialogue of the 2008 campaign. Since then, she has been an invited speaker atBlogHer, Netroots Nation, and Mom 2.0, and published print articles in KoreAm Journal.
Professionally, Glennia is a lawyer and lifelong volunteer. She has been a poverty lawyer in the South Bronx, a crisis counselor for a domestic violence shelter in Texas, President of a 3,000 member non-profit parent's organization in California, and has worked in support of high-tech and medical research throughout her professional career. She has traveled with her husband and young son to over 25 countries and lived to blog about it. She is also a contributing writer to Kimchi Mamas.
Stefania Pomponi Butler
MOMocrats Founding Editor Stefania Pomponi Butleris a writer and blog editor/producer who is known for her irreverent and delicious personal blog, CityMama. Her childhood was spent running around the Hawaii State Capitol building where her mom worked for a state representative. She also spent many punishing hours of her childhood standing on street corners holding campaign signs and waving at cars because her mother is a mean, mean politically-obsessed lady. At age 24, after serving one term as a commissioner, she became the youngest ever Chair of the Arts Commission for the city in which she lived.
Trivia time! Stefania was born in the same hospital and went to the same school as Barack Obama. Even though she is mixed-race like Barack and a woman like Hillary, she voted for a white guy—John Edwards—for president in the California primary (abstentee) because she supported his healthcare, poverty, and nuclear initiatives, and she wholeheartedly agreed with his ideas on how the U.S. should restore its reputation and re-engage with the world. She doesn't, however, agree with his lying, cheating ways. (What an a-hole, he turned out to be, huh?)
MOMocrats Technical Editor/Founder Beth 's (or TechMama) first involvement in politics was volunteering at a California State Democratic convention many years ago just after she graduated from college. After that she followed politics closely from behind the scenes.
Beth was initially inspired to start getting involved in politics again by Elizabeth Edward's courage and ability to stand up for what she believes. Coming from the technical perspective, she thought blogging would be the best way to make a positive impact on the American political conversation. Though Beth is no longer formally involved with MOMocrats.com, we all appreciate her early tech guru guidance in setting up the site.
MOMocrats Emerita
These former MOMocrats members contributed a great deal of energy and intelligence to the site before moving on to focus on other projects. Many of them still occasionally contribute advice and research to MOMocrats.
Cynematic
Cynematic is a Los Angeles-based writer-filmmaker and 2010 Film Independent Project Involve Fellow whose personal blog is P i l l o w b o o k. Since 2003, she's alternately vented about politics and told stories about her son there. Past jobs held include drugstore cashier, phone telemarketer, paralegal, graduate teaching assistant, researcher for a tv documentary series, and freelance book reviewer/editor. She was a foot soldier (canon fodder, so to speak?) in the culture wars of the '90s at UC Berkeley and is a recovering academic who's published scholarly articles about Asian American popular culture, film, and literature. You may call her Dr. Cynematic.
Not long ago she worked for a progressive media group that uses video, the social web, and true grassroots community organizing to achieve social change. She managed Facebook and Twitter accounts across the media group's numerous political campaigns. As part of messaging and mobilization, she wordsmithed framing for campaigns and tracked supporter data and campaign performance across the internet with various web analytics tools. In her spare time she tweets haikus on Twitter and was part of an ad hoc team that, in partnership with MOMocrats and other progressive organizations, used the immediacy and speed of that medium to help raise over $1 million for Democratic candidate Rob Miller, the 2010 challenger to Congressman Joe "You lie" Wilson (R-SC).
She's presented on women/race/gender/technology at BlogHer ('08) and Netroots Nation ('10, '11), and with her sister MOMocrats, was a credentialed blogger who covered the Democratic National Convention in 2008.
She started an education news and advocacy site with the intention of creating a "MoveOn" for parents who support public schools in a time when corporate profiteers would like to eliminate it altogether. That site, K12NewsNetwork.com (K12NN), was a Circle of Moms Top 25 Political Blog in 2011, and featured a distinctive and powerful map tool to show Californians statewide what would be lost if deep funding cuts to public education occurred (they did); the tool won the site a 2011 BlogHer.com / HTC Innovators Award for creative use of technology in the women's blogosphere.
She can often be found on the MOMocrats podcast with an interesting K12NN guest and making sense of political news of the week with frequent co-hosts Donna Schwartz Mills and Karoli. She tweets at @cyn3matic.
Julie Pippert
Julie Pippert is a Houston, Texas-based communications strategist who specializes in creative business communication and social media outreach for parenting, political, nonprofit and advocacy groups.

Jaelithe studied literary analysis in college, which she has found makes her surprisingly adept at deconstructing bogus media story lines and dissecting poorly constructed political arguments.
Her hobbies include gardening, reading obscure early 20th century Argentinian literature in the original Spanish, quoting Ben Franklin, and obsessively checking the internet for political news. She offers her SEO consulting services at JaeJudy.com, opines on Twitter as @Jaelithe, and writes a personal blog called The State of Discontent.

Stephanie also consults for other businesses and nonprofits, with an expertise in online outreach and community development. Most recently, she wrote the handbook on social media for military families, crafting a guide in collaboration with Facebook.
Stephanie is also known in the blogging world as Lawyer Mama. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Huffington Post, and have been syndicated by the McClatchy group, appearing in papers and web sites across the country. Stephanie regularly moderates The Mil Life on the Washington Post's website, a live chat about issues facing military families. Her interviews regarding parenting, military families, and politics have appeared on or in countless national news outlets and Stephanie also regularly speaks as an expert on both social media and military families.
Stephanie's claim to fame a few years ago was having met both the President of the United States and the future King and Queen of England (aka Will and Kate) in the same week. Her sons were still far more impressed with the time she met Elmo. You can find Stephanie on Twitter as @lawyermama.
The lawyer in Stephanie would also like to remind you that the views she expresses on MOMocrats are purely her own and in no way reflect the positions or opinions of any of her clients and/or employers.

Jessica Pieklo

Mary Davis
Mary Davis is a freelance writer and blogger living with her husband and three children near Pittsburgh, PA. She's been writing online for the past five years. Prior to beginning her freelancing career, Mary worked as a community college academic adviser, where she received the "Outstanding Academic Adviser of the Year" award two years in a row.
Mary is passionate about helping adults reach their educational goals. She admires the dedication of adult students to succeed, often while facing significant obstacles. Mary's always rooted for the underdog. Her interest in politics began her freshman year in college while taking courses like American National Government and Intro to Women's Studies.
Being the blue sheep in a family of red ones, Mary has learned to be vocal and articulate about her views. Her top political interests include education, poverty, women's issues and gay rights.
Mary has written for numerous online publications including Working Mother and Type A Parent. She writes about higher education at her blogs for adult students, Never Too Late For College and The College Mom. You'll also find her at her personal blog, Everyday Baby Steps.
Christina Gleason
Christina Gleason is a professional copywriter, editor, and blogger, although she holds a Master's degree in Psychology. Her (unprofessional) blog is called Well, in THIS House, formerly known as Cutest Kid Ever. She's a relatively high-functioning Aspie who also lives with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), depression, and anxiety. She's a geek for grammar, fantasy, and select types of gaming, including World of Warcraft and Scramble with Friends. She hates vegetables. Her favorite wine is a cheap cranberry chablis, and she would prefer a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's over a fancy dinner at a five-star restaurant any day.
A lifelong Democrat, Christina has taken to social media activism like a fish to water, much to the chagrin of several of her Facebook friends. Although she finds herself caring about almost any political or social injustice, she is most passionate in her advocacy about health care, women's issues, and working families. She has appeared on Anderson Live to talk about the stigma faced by moms with mental illness, and reactions to the show only prove that we have a long way to go in that area. The best way to get in touch with Christina is via Twitter @WELLinTHIShouse, but be warned that she tends to be a bit of an oversharer.
Melissa works on health care access and prevention policy, when she's not busy mothering her young daughter. She started her political career in high school, lobbying for the passage of the the Safe Schools Act. After 10 years in and around the Beltway with various women-focused health and policy groups, and a short stint in the private sector, she's now one of those public sector employees the right routinely vilifies.
Melissa has served as an invited speaker for the Young Democrats Women's Caucus, the Maryland Leadership Institute, hosted the inaugural chat at TheMotherhood.com, and run more Advocacy 101 workshops than she cares to count. Her favorite food group is coffee.

Then California Senator Bill Lockyer responded to each and every letterMeghan would go on to write during his years as Senator, inspiring her to remain politically active as an adult.

Kady is a lawyer and a blogger at Wonkess. She has two daughters who are both the reason for and bane of her existence. Kady first got involved in politics at the tender age of 17, when she quit school for a semester to be the student campaign manager of a local Democrat's successful bid to unseat a multi-term Supervior. She then spent the summer before college working as an intern at her Congressman's office in Washington D.C. In college, Kady majored in environmental policy and spent all her free time pressuring her school to improve their recycling and purchasing policies. But then her heart was broken when two of her most cherished political mentors became embroiled in career-ending scandals.
So she fled the cause and spent the next 15 years drifting aimlessly around the world. During that time, Kady worked for Evil Corporation, went to law school in Evil State and is now working for Evil Law Firm (the true axis of evil). Along the way, she picked up an addiction to all things economic and financial. And a new cry to arms: exposing the financial shenanigans that happen in this country and reforming the financial sector.
Debbie Gorman
Debbie grew up in an evangelical Christian household in Portland, Oregon, and fled from the religious net in her early twenties. Later, in November of 1999, after ceasing to be apathetic, she voted for Al Gore. Saving local papers in days after the election aided in healing her heartbroken reaction to its results.
She began blogging at i obsess in April of 2006, and gladly joined the MOMocrats in fall of 2007. She tends to discourse on the experience of being a mother with questionable sanity issues and hardened political beliefs, while working full time and rearing a pre-schooler with old-fashioned family values. You heard her.

Jen blogs about global poverty and homelessness, sustainable living, keeping one step ahead of her child, and adjusting to her new life in the jungles of Central America.
Joan Garry
Joan Garry is a nationally recognized gay rights activist and thought it was a very hard job until she decided to step down from her role as the executive director of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to be a stay-at-home mom. Advocating for 'the gays" may have been easier.

Liz Gumbinner of Mom-101 and Co-Founder & Editor of Cool Mom Picks, is a born and bred New Yorker but without the accent.
She's had a successful career as a creative director in the Prada-mandatory world of advertising, has helped found a grassroots organization that assists Bosnian refugee children, writes some parenting columns here and there, and is the co-author of Booty Food(Bloomsbury USA), a humorous relationship guide and cookbook.
Liz is equally at home in the boutiques of Fifth Avenue and the aisles of Target, but can most often be spotted around her Brooklyn neighborhood with the love of her life and their two daughters, trying to coax their stubborn English Bulldog across the street.
Kristen Chase took the plunge into motherhood via a surprise pregnancy and is now knee deep with a three year old daughter, one year old son, and one more on the way. In her former life she was a published textbook author, musician, and college professor all of which she's traded for a satisfying new position as military wife and stay-at-home-parent. Kristen is the author of the widely popular weblog Motherhood Uncensored, and writes Mominatrix, a featured column at The Imperfect Parent. Additionally, she is co-founder of Cool Mom Picks, a cheeky product and service review blog for discerning moms, as well as Parent Bloggers Network, a blog marketing agency connecting bloggers with products and services. She recently moved to Atlanta after a year-long stint with her in-laws.
The only politics Kristen enjoyed was on various sub-committees at her former university position, but since entering parenthood and watching several of her friend's spouses (including possibly her own) head out for long deployments, she's decided that she needs to take a bit more of an active approach in the political climate on the United States. She's not a registered anything just yet, but she's 100% certain she looks way better in donkey than elephant anything.
Erin Kotecki Vest, "Queen of Spain"

Bitsy Parker is the blogger behind Value wIT, a hilarious look at what she calls "societal berzerkism." Value wIT was selected as a Typepad Featured Blog soon after its launch. According to Typepad, "Bitsy Parker is not your average mommy blogger…typical mommy blog traits are secondary to the style, sass, and smarts of the writing on Value wIT. Bitsy Parker challenges society's common thought, endorses good values, all the while making us laugh from an uncommon lens of a woman's every day life in Austin, Texas. Parker admittedly uses her blog as some kind of therapy or venting machine so that she doesn't wear down so many of her friends' patience, but instead we find it therapy of our own. Turn to categories Societal Berzerkism and Motherdumb first. In the meantime we'll ask Bitsy if she could please add a warning label to her blog; reading Bitsy Parker leads to laughing out loud, gut aches, and the possibility of falling off your chair."
Alisyn Cobb shares what has to be the smallest house in Silicon Valley with her husband, two adorable daughters, and a whole lot of books and magazines. She has written about parenting and politcs at The Salad Days and Babble.com. She is proud to be a MOMocrat.

Laughlin, Nev., is often overshadowed by the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas, which is just an hour away. It shouldn't be. Some of Laughlin's greatest assets include the Colorado River, more space and a lower cost of living, allowing investors to upgrade and renovate properties more easily. This has resulted in another gambling desert oasis that can offer hot weather, river cruises, beaches, gambling action and luxury hotels.
The Riverside is owned by Don Laughlin, an entrepreneur and hotelier for whom the city is named. His business and lifestyle are synonymous with luxury, and his hotel is no different. The Riverside is the northern-most hotel along Casino Drive, which runs parallel to the Colorado River and Nevada-Arizona border. The Riverside enjoys a prime location between these land and water masses. This site gives guests expansive views of the town and Arizona, just across the river. Many river-view rooms have multiple windows. Executive rooms are outfitted with balconies and outdoor sitting areas, where guests can enjoy room service or simply watch the water sports and landscape. Cable television and an in-room library of movies are available to all guests. A pool, full-service salon and masseuse are available. There are five sit-down restaurants and three fast-food options. If you are looking for some action, head to the arcade, on-site bowling facility, auto museum, antiques collections, movie theater or the Riverside's dock, where river tours and water rentals are available.
The temperature in Laughlin, Nevada in April tends to be very predictable, so you can generally count on the forecast and travel light.
The temperature in Laughlin, Nevada in April is somewhat unpredictable, so be on the safe side and prepare for a variety of conditions.
The temperature in Laughlin, Nevada in April is highly unpredictable, so use the forecast as a guide, but be ready for anything!
The Aquarius opened in 2006 after a $46 million renovation of the former Flamingo Hilton. The 1,907 rooms also underwent a $20 million renovation in 2008, during which granite counter tops and cherry-wood vanities were installed. Mattresses, linens, carpets and sheets were also upgraded. The hotel's rooms were voted the best in Laughlin in 2008 by Mohave Valley Daily News readers.
River-view rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and movies are available on demand. Hotel guests can use the fitness center, business center and pool. Various cruises of the Colorado River are available at the Aquarius' dock. As of March 2010, cruise prices ranged from $15 to $40.
Avi is not located on Casino Drive, but it still offers all the amenities of the Laughlin Strip, including access to the Colorado River, swimming pools, casinos, bars and lounges.

I have a score of 65 (PTE score 85) I plan to apply for ICT Business Analyst but my wife has a Bachelor of Commerce and working in Finance & Accounting with 5+ years of experience. Her IELTS score is L7.5, S 7.0, W 6.5, R 6.5. So that means I cannot claim additional 5 points for my spouse. What should I do to increase the points. Thank you.
Do you suggest that I go with subclass 190?
Is there any other way that I can claim additional 5 points for spouse qualification/experience although I'm in IT and she's in Finance & Accounting?
Is the immigration visa fee separate for subclass 189 and subclass190?
There is no other way to claim spouse points if the calculator does not show it.
Immigration fees for both 189 and 190 is same.
Really appreciate your kind reply.
I have 1.6 years as Technical Analyst and 5.6 as Technical Manager outside of Australia. Will ACS deduct 2 years of my work experience? If so, 5 years of experience is what I can claim. Would I be able to claim 10 points or 5 points?
If you apply for business analyst code, chances are high that your full manager Experience will be counted as zero too if the daily work does not match business analyst job requirements.
I understand. It's the title the is confusing. Otherwise, the job requirements is of a business analyst role. Should I be worried then?
I understand. It's the title that is confusing. Otherwise, 80% of my job requirements are of a business analyst role. Would you recommend any other approach then?
The number of points that you can claim will depend on how many years ACS gives as 'relevant' in their report.
You can only claim the years marked as relevant by ACS for points.
Thanks Anil! So that means ACS will not cut any experience from my experience if it relevant even if I'm working outside Australia.
ACS will deduct at-least 2 years.
ACS work experience 'After month' date means the day in same month can be used as start date in Australia EOI, not the next month. 2 or 4 yrs deducted.
My wife has a BCom degree and though she handles finance&accounting, she also handles IT work a lot.
Since she is working in a small enterprise, almost all IT operations are handled by her only.
Let's say 60% -65% of her work is IT related.
She's working in the same organisation for more than 5 years.
Would she be eligible to apply in IT field so that we can claim 5 points as I plan to apply in the ICT Business Analyst code.
Her designation is simply 'Manager'.
The designation does not matter but the daily job duties do.
I cannot say how ACS is going to evaluate based on what is written in your spouse work experience letter about what she does in her daily activities.

The author writes that filling judicial vacancies is part of the business of government.
The case for confirming court judges
By RUSSELL WHEELER
The accepted wisdom on Congress is that the presidential campaign is likely to crowd out most real work until after Nov. 6, when all its focus abruptly changes to the fiscal cliff.
There is, though, one important noncontroversial matter that the Senate should take up now — as have previous Senates at this time: confirming district judges.
A government that can't do its mundane business is surely unlikely to be able to deal with more controversial problems. History shows that the Senate should be able to confirm a respectable number of long-standing district court nominations before Election Day — certainly before adjournment. If it cannot, this may signal that the past four years of delayed and confrontational nominations have not been an aberration but represent the new normal of district court confirmations.
Sixty-one of the nation's 673 lifetime appointment district court judgeships are vacant. President Barack Obama has submitted nominees to fill 24 of the vacancies. Seventeen of the 24 have cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee and are awaiting final action by the full Senate.
As of Sept. 10, the Senate had confirmed 126 of Obama's district nominees — 81 percent. In comparison, President George W. Bush had a 97 percent district confirmation success rate in his first four years, and President Bill Clinton an 87 percent rate.
If the Senate confirms 10 of the 17 Obama nominees, this would lift his four-year success rate to equal Clinton's. Confirming all 17 would lift it to 91 percent.
Rates aside, however, even if all 17 were confirmed, Obama would have made roughly 20 fewer district appointees than Clinton or Bush. Obama has submitted fewer nominees.
Extended vacancies often mean long delays, especially in civil cases. They often mean full caseloads for judges in their 70s and beyond — despite statutory promises that, at that age, judges who have put in substantial service are entitled to scale back.
Filling judicial vacancies is part of the business of government, and like much of that business, it is more mundane than dramatic. Federal district caseloads consist largely of commercial disputes and federal crimes like immigration law violations — issues important to litigants and collectively important to all of us. They are part of how our society resolves disputes and help set the framework for commercial and social intercourse.
But you might say, judges can't get confirmed this close to a presidential election because opposition senators are hoping their guy will soon be in the White House and make his own nominations to those vacancies.

I envision utilizing this grant to make a photobook of my photographic project "Umbral". In Spanish, Umbral means gateway, a portal, the first step towards something. As I witness my son's childhood, I often see him in that in-between space, drifting in and out of reality and the places I have imagined for him. Becoming a single mother at a young age proved frightening to me, and not for the obvious reasons. I felt a huge responsibility to create a nurturing childhood for him, different from the dysfunctional one I had lived. With these images I wanted to intervene, to somehow create a magical space that could lessen his generational baggage. With this project I aim to explore both my fantasies of what childhood should be and the freedom my son needs to live his own reality.
I have been working on this project for the past six years and will continue photographing my son (who is currently 9 years old) for another year or two. As my son grows up, I see the work reaching its completion, since for me these images are about childhood. I intend to keep developing this project further until it becomes a cohesive body of work that captures the different stages of my son's childhood and its various emotional landscapes. I envision this work completed as a photo book; I believe the format of the photo book is essential for this work, given the fact that many times I live and I forget. My recollections are fragile and the images that do remain in my psyche often feel like fragments of a dream, scenes I begin to wonder if were real or imagined. This is what moves to take these pictures. I utilize photography as a tool to preserve memory and to understand the emotional environment I live in.

Q: How to apply 2 animation on 1 div when click on it $(document).ready(function(){
$("#page").click( function(){
$("#page").addClass('magictime perspectiveLeft');
$("#page").addClass('magictime perspectiveLeftRetourn');

What I am trying to do:

*

*After clicking element("#page") this code should work:
$("#page").addClass('magictime perspectiveLeft');, so the page element should go left (perspectiveLeft).

*After completing this animation when I click the same element("#page") this code should work:
$("#page").addClass('magictime perspectiveLeftRetourn');, so the page element should go back to its original position (perspectiveLeftRetourn).
The animation should be just like a greeting card opening and closing.
How do I do that?
Suggestions improving animation are appreciated.
I use https://github.com/miniMAC/magic/ for animation

A: Check this fiddle
The code which i have used is
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    var anim = false;
    $page = $("#page");
    $page.click( function(){
        if(!anim){
            anim = true;
            if($page.hasClass('perspectiveLeft'))
                $page.removeClass('perspectiveLeft').addClass('magictime perspectiveLeftRetourn');
            else
                $page.removeClass('perspectiveLeftRetourn').addClass('magictime perspectiveLeft');
        }
    })
    $page.on('webkitAnimationEnd mozAnimationEnd MSAnimationEnd oanimationend animationend', function(){
        anim = false;
    });

Cyrus Hall McCormick (February 15, 1809 – May 13, 1884) was an Inventor and founder of the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, which became part of International Harvester Company in 1902. From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, he and many members of his family became prominent residents of Chicago.
Although McCormick is credited as the "inventor" of the mechanical reaper, he based his work on that of many others, including Roman, Scottish and American men, more than two decades of work by his father, and the aid of Jo Anderson, a slave held by his family. Cyrus McCormick filed patents for the invention, and his achievements were chiefly in the development of a company, marketing and sales force to market his products.
Cyrus McCormick was born February 15, 1809 in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He was the eldest of eight children born to inventor Robert McCormick, Jr. (1780–1846) and Mary Ann "Polly" Hall (1780–1853). As Cyrus' father saw the potential of the design for a mechanical reaper, he applied for a patent to claim it as his own invention. He worked for 28 years on a horse-drawn mechanical reaper to harvest grain; however, he was never able to reproduce a reliable version.
Cyrus took up the project. He was aided by Jo Anderson, an enslaved African American on the McCormick plantation at the time. A few machines based on a design of Patrick Bell of Scotland (which had not been patented) were available in the United States in these years. The Bell machine was pulled by horses. The McCormick design was pulled by horses and cut the grain to one side of the team.
Using the endorsement of his father's first customer for a machine built by McPhetrich, Cyrus continuously attempted to improve the design. He finally sold seven reapers in 1842, 29 in 1843, and 50 in 1844. They were all built manually in the family farm shop. He received a second patent for reaper improvements on January 31, 1845.
As word spread about the reaper, McCormick noticed orders arriving from farther west, where farms tended to be larger and the land flatter. While he was in Washington, DC to get his 1845 patent, he heard about a factory in Brockport, New York, where he contracted to have the machines mass-produced. He also licensed several others across the country to build the reaper, but their quality often proved poor, which hurt the product's reputation.
In 1847, after their father's death, Cyrus and his brother Leander (1819–1900) moved to Chicago, where they established a factory to build their machines. At the time, other cities in the midwestern United States, such asCleveland, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were more established and prosperous. Chicago had no paved streets at the time, but the city had the best water transportation from the east over theGreat Lakes for his raw materials, as well as railroad connections to the farther west where his customers would be.
McCormick's brother William (1815–1865) moved to Chicago in 1849, and joined the company to take care of financial affairs. The McCormick reaper sold well, partially as a result of savvy and innovative business practices. Their products came onto the market just as the development of railroads offered wide distribution to distant markets. McCormick developed marketing and sales techniques, developing a wide network of salesmen trained to demonstrate operation of the machines in the field, as well as to get parts quickly and repair machines in the field if necessary during crucial times in the farm year.
In 1851, McCormick traveled to London to display a reaper at the Crystal Palace Exhibition. After his machine successfully harvested a field of green wheat while the Hussey machine failed, he won a gold medal and was admitted to the Legion of Honor. His celebration was short-lived after he learned that he had lost a court challenge to Hussey's patent.
Another McCormick Company competitor was John Henry Manny of Rockford, Illinois. After the Manny Reaper beat the McCormick version at the Paris Exposition of 1855, McCormick filed a lawsuit against Manny for patent infringement. McCormick demanded that Manny stop producing reapers, and pay McCormick $400,000.
The trial, originally scheduled for Chicago in September 1855, featured prominent lawyers on both sides. McCormick hired the former US Attorney General Reverdy Johnson and New York patent attorney Edward Nicholl Dickerson. Manny hired George Harding and Edwin M. Stanton. Because the trial was set to take place in Illinois, Harding hired the local Illinois lawyer Abraham Lincoln. However, the trial was moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Manny won the case, with an opinion by the State Supreme Court Judge John McLean. Lincoln did not contribute to the defense. Stanton had objected to Lincoln's presence, referring to him as "that damned long armed ape." After later being elected President, Lincoln chose Stanton as his Secretary of War. See Abraham Lincoln's patent.
In 1856, McCormick's factory was producing more than 4000 reapers each year, mostly sold in the Midwest and West. However, in 1861, Hussey's patent was extended but McCormick's was not. McCormick's outspoken opposition to Lincoln and the anti-slavery Republican party may not have helped his cause. McCormick decided to seek help from the US Congress to protect his patent.
In 1871, the factory burned down in the Great Chicago Fire, but McCormick heeded his wife's advice to rebuild, and it reopened in 1873 even as McCormick's health declined, so she took a greater role in the family's business as well as philanthropic affairs. In 1879, brother Leander changed the company's name from "Cyrus H. McCormick and Brothers" to "McCormick Harvesting Machine Company". He wanted to acknowledge the contributions of others in the family to the reaper "invention" and company, especially their father. By this time, the reaper had been improved into a self-propelled combine, a machine able to harvest, and thresh grain from the vast flat fields of the far west.

The Cowboys remain hopeful about his continued progress but will be looking at him more as a strongside linebacker than a middle linebacker in 2018.
"We're really excited about him as a player," Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said. "Again, his development has been significant. I think physically he will get better and better as we go. And certainly, he will learn from his experiences. He does have versatility. He can play any of the spots. You want to make sure you give him a chance to succeed.
Smith recorded 81 total tackles, two pass deflections, two forced fumbles and an interception last season where he played mostly middle linebacker.
He was forced on the field early because of injuries to Anthony Hitchens and Sean Lee. At times, he was overexposed. The Cowboys found that Smith played his best when his snaps were limited, according to Garrett.
If Smith is going to move to strongside linebacker, the question is who will play the middle in 2018, especially if the Cowboys lose Hitchens in free agency as expected.
Linebacker suddenly becomes a bigger area of need in the draft and free agency.
Smith is the second Cowboys defender seemingly on the move. Dallas plans to give safety Byron Jones a try at cornerback.

Q: How to show $T$ is diagonalizable? Let $T\colon \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ be linear with distinct eigenvalues $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$.  Show that $T$ is diagonalizable.
It seems as if this is a very simple question but I'm a bit confused about how to start!

A: You need to prove that $\mathbb{R}^3$ has a basis of eigenvectors.  The key is that if you have vectors $\vec{v}_1, \vec{v}_2, \vec{v}_3$ that are eigenvectors for distinct eigenvalues, then the vectors must be linearly independent.
To prove this latter fact, assume that
$$c_1 \vec{v}_1 + c_2 \vec{v}_2 + c_3 \vec{v}_3 = \vec{0}.$$
Apply $(T - \lambda_1 I)(T -\lambda_2 I) = (T -\lambda_2 I)(T - \lambda_1 I)$ to both sides to find that $c_3 = 0$.  (Here $I$ is the identity operator.)  Note that you must use $\lambda_3 \neq \lambda_1, \lambda_2$ here.  Similar operators can be applied to show that $c_1$ and $c_2$ must equal $0$ as well.
In this case, the argument gives you three linearly independent eigenvectors in $\mathbb{R}^3$, which are therefore a basis.

A: You have $3$ distinct  eigenvalues  (as $\lambda_1 , \lambda_2 , \lambda_3$) and eigenvector corresponding to each of them must have $\dim$ $1$ (if you have doubt, see Hint below) then we have $3$ eigenvector spaces s that they are subspace of $\mathbb R^3$ and sum of them can construct $\mathbb R^3$.
So if we choice basis from these sub-spaces (choice one base from each sub spaces as $v_1$ from eigenvector space correspond $\lambda_1$ eigen value and  $v_2$ from eigen vector space correspond $\lambda_2$ eigen value and similar about $v_3$ ) since each of thses basis ARE eigen vector then our matrix (represented T) will be diagonalizable because $$T(v_1)=\lambda_1 v_1,T(v_2)=\lambda_2 v_2,T(v_3)=\lambda_3 v_3,$$ And so:
our matrix with basis$\{v_1,v_2,v_3\}$ will be:
$$\begin{pmatrix}\lambda_1&0&0\\0& \lambda_2&0\\0&0&\lambda_3\end{pmatrix}$$
Hint:
any eigenvalue as $\lambda$ have at least one $\dim$ because :
$$\det(A-\lambda I)=0$$
$(A-\lambda I)x=0$ has at least one non trivial answer. And at this problem it can not has more than one $\dim$ because sum of $\dim$ of $3$ sub-spaces must be $3$.

A: Pick eigenvectors corresponding to each of the three distinct eigenvalues. Then they will be linearly independent since the eigenvalues are distinct (by a theorem). So you can make a basis with these eigenvectors. So the matrix of $T$ with respect to this basis is diagonal.


An introduction to the world of perfumery.
Each week we explore a new family of materials, from exquisite florals (Indian jasmine absolute to orange flower water absolute) to warming balsams (peru, benzoin, opoponax). We explore materials like the refined Ambroxan (derived from ambergris) and dasmascone alpha (a component of Rosa damascena).
As the weeks progress, students build on a solid foundation of knowledge which they can apply to their own creations. We use the 'Etude Olfactive des Essences and et des Absolues' created by Jean Carles and the Olfactive Study of Synthetic Products charts to organize our study.
The second part is devoted to blending and you will be able to take home your creations.
No experience is necessary. All you need to bring is an open mind, a clear nose and a sense of fun!


Once each year, Greyville Racecourse becomes the epicentre of South Africa's social scene as the Vodacom Durban July 2013 gets underway. The event has scores of fashionistas, socialites and punters flocking to it in drones as South Africa's best thoroughbreds storm down the home straight to the finish.
Whether you are among the over 55 000 people who cram the confines of Greyville Racecourse or the millions of others who will watch the annual spectacle on television, this event is definitely one not to miss.
For maximum effect, however, there is nothing better than to be at the heart of the excitement, among the crowds who line the track, who relax in the many restaurant facilities or enjoy the day as guests in the corporate suites and the numerous venues in Greyville's legendary Marquee Village.
Debatabley, the excitement of the Vodacom Durban July Day surpasses that of any other event on the African continent. Apart from the punters there, millions of others around the country will be taking serious bets, the totes and bookmakers will be under tremendous pressure dealing with the estimated betting splurge of over R200 million!
The public is urged to place their bets early to avoid disappointment. Even if you are not an avid better, it will still be worth your while because it is an epic party. As usual, there will be a host of different parties occurring in various tents. It will be such a shame to miss out on an event of this magnitude so diarise now.

First Yandex, now Bing, has beaten Google to offer Bitcoin conversion prices. Bing has announced that people can find the current rates by doing a search on Bing.
Yandex rolled out a similar BitCoin conversion feature in December. Like Bing, it uses pricing from the Coindesk Bitcoin Calculator.
WolframAlpha also offers Bitcoin conversion, having launched that in January.
As for Google, it remains a no show. It provides conversion of any number of currencies but still doesn't support Bitcoin. Yahoo also doesn't provide such support.
We asked Google back in December for any comment about when it might add such support, but it never answered. We'll ask again. Now that Bing is doing it, it's likely Google will feel more pressure to.

Q: AWS- Limiting resource access for member of organisational accounts We have certain AWS labs which we offer to our customers. Every time a user opens the lab, a new member account is created and added to the organisational account.
This only happens the first time when a user logs into the lab.
This member account has no resource restrictions and can do anything the user wants.
For eg.

*

*Launching any type and number of ec2 instances.

*Create as many s3 buckets as possible and upload files of any size.

*Launch any type of RDS and ElastiCache clusters.

This has been creating a huge problem for us and we want to limit resources depending upon what is required to perform in the labs.
After a lot of research, I came up with this:
Resource restrictions on OU level using SCP:
1. Deny every service by default.
2. Allow only those services which are used in tasks.
3. Allow those services in 1 particular region only (For e.g. us-east-1)
4. Limit what type of instances can be launched (For e.g. t2.micro only)
5. Limit specific AMI's using which instances can be launched (For e.g. Only free AMI's like ubuntu and linux AMI's, no windows AMI's)
6. Policy for limiting s3 bucket sizes is not possible.

Organisation account removal:
1. Can't remove member account if they don't have required information to become standalone account.
2. This information includes:
    - AWS Customer Agreement
    - choose a support plan
    - provide and verify the required contact information
    - provide a current payment method
3. This can't be automated so the idea is to create 2 OU's "Organisational units".
    - Working accounts
    - Disabled accounts
4. 1st OU will have required permissions to perform the lab tasks only (Principle of least privilege)
5. 2nd OU will have no permissions, Deny All for all services and actions.

Managing OU's
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_ous.html

Moving accounts from one OU to another OU
A program can be written to list account under the "working accounts OU"
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/organizations/list-accounts-for-parent.html

From the output, filter out the "JoinedTimestamp" parameter and perform move operation on accounts which are older than xx days.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/organizations/move-account.html

I want to know from experienced AWS architects whether the second part of the "Organisational Unit" is possible.
If yes, can someone help me to figure out how to achieve it as I don't have much programming experience.

A: Your approach is valid. You could look at using IAM roles rather than SCP for pretty much of that, though SCP is central control so all you have to do is put the account in an OU, so better than IAM policy for your situation I think.
You're probably going to want a "deny" and "not action" for things like IAM / S3 that rely on other regions - eg S3 / IAM. Note that this can be quite a bit list. Then a whitelist for your region of allowed services - there's a lot you might need, but you'll find them.

              "aws-portal:*",
              "organizations:*",
              "s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration"
          ],
          "Resource": "*",
          "Condition": {
              "StringNotEquals": {
                  "aws:RequestedRegion": [
                      "ap-southeast-1"
                  ]
              }
          }
      },
      {
          "Sid": "WhitelistAllowedServices",
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Action": [
              "ec2:*",
              "autoscaling:*"
  }
}

Enforcing only specific AMIs is quite fiddly. You need to create a policy which lists them by AMI ID, then you need to manually update the policy every time a new AMI is released.
I can't help with your moving OUs question sorry. Alternate approaches here would be to attach a "deny all" policy to the account in SCP directly as it will override the allow permission, or adding a "deny all" permission to their IAM role.

Q: Automapper complex objects I've begun implementing this;
Automapper, mapping to a complex object but figured there must be a better way.
So I created this;
Mapper.CreateMap<StoreTransportWindow, CSVWindow>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.DC, opt => opt.ResolveUsing(fa => fa.DC.number))
    .ForMember(dest => dest.Type, opt => opt.ResolveUsing(fa => fa.Type))
;

Mapper.CreateMap<Store, CSVStore>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.StoreName, opt => opt.ResolveUsing(fa => fa.name))
    .ForMember(dest => dest.StoreNumber, opt => opt.ResolveUsing(fa => fa.number))
;

Now I'd like to use the above mappings in the primary map;
Mapper.CreateMap<Store, CSVLineObject>()
    .ForMember( dest => dest.store, opt => opt.ResolveUsing(/* This is where I'd like to use the above Store to  CSVStore mapping */))
;

Is this possible?
edit
public class CSVStore
{
    public string StoreNumber { get; set; }
    public string StoreName { get; set; }
}

public class CSVWindow
{
    public string Type { get; set; }
    public string DC { get; set; }
    public string TPC { get; set; }

public class CSVLineObject
{
    public CSVStore store { get; set; }
    public List<CSVWindow> storeWindows { get; set; }

A: As mentioned in the comment, the initial mappings should probably be more like:
Mapper.CreateMap<StoreTransportWindow, CSVWindow>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.DC, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.DC.number));
// Mapping for property Type not required

Mapper.CreateMap<Store, CSVStore>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.StoreName, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.name))
    .ForMember(dest => dest.StoreNumber, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.number));

Now say you have the following:
public class Source
{
    public Store Store { get; set; }
}

public class Destination
{
    public CSVStore Store { get; set; }
}

Then the following mapping will suffice (as you've already defined the nested mapping Store to CSVStore):
Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>();

However if Destination was more like this:
public class Destination
{
    public CSVStore CSVStore { get; set; }
}

Then you'll need to explicitly define the properties to be mapped:
Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.CSVStore, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Store));

(Note that the mapping from Store to CVStore is applied automatically.)
If for some reason you do need to explicitly define a nested mapping, you can do something like this:
Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.destproperty,
               opt => opt.MapFrom(
                   src => Mapper.Map<SrcType, DestType>(src.srcproperty));

I have needed to use that at times, but not very often as the default functionality takes care of it for you automatically.
I can provide more details if required if you can expand on your requirements.

What is the Treatment of Provision in Cash Flow Statement?
Managing cash and cash equivalent resources is crucial for companies to stay liquid. This liquidity also brings many benefits, such as quicker transactions, more flexibility, better opportunities, etc. Similarly, most investors prefer investments that can illustrate better cash management. These investors obtain information about how companies manage their operations through financial statements. For most companies, these include four critical reports.
Three financial statements use the accrual principle to report operations. While this method allows for better consistency and comparability, it can also have drawbacks. The primary disadvantage of using this principle is that it does not focus on cash flows. While it promotes better presentation and reporting, some investors may find it confusing. However, accounting standards address that issue through the cash flow statement.
The cash flow statement reports a company's cash inflows and outflows for a specific period. In other words, it presents how much cash it spends and generates from various areas. The cash flow statement does not follow the accrual concept. It shows the cash aspects of each transaction without considering its accounting sides.
Nonetheless, some items may become a part of the cash flow statement that don't involve cash receipts or payments. Also known as non-cash items, the cash flow statement adjusts them beforehand. One of these items may include provisions. Before discussing its cash flow adjustment, it is crucial to understand what these are.
What is a Provision?
Accounting principles require companies to recognize expenses once incurred. These principles do not consider when a company pays for those expenses. On the other hand, the same applies to revenues or income. However, the recognition criteria for those items are stricter. Companies can recognize expenses for future expected losses or costs. However, they cannot increase their revenues based on forecasts.
The conservatism or prudence concept in accounting allows companies to create provisions. Essentially, a provision is an expense recognized for future costs or liabilities. Companies recognize this expense to set funds aside from profits for this express purpose. This way, they can help liabilities and obligations in the future. On top of that, recognizing provisions also allow companies to match expenses with the related revenues.

Primarily, a provision refers to funds set aside from company profits for future costs. These costs may relate to obligations from past events. In accounting, provisions are crucial in allowing companies to report an accurate picture in their financial statements. However, accounting standards dictate when a company can record a provision. More specifically, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets guide companies on the area.
Companies create a provision account that holds the liability for the expected costs or losses. This account constitutes a liability for the company as it can result in outflows of economic benefits in the future. On top of that, it also generates from past obligations. Consequently, this account falls under liabilities in the balance sheet. On the other side, companies also record an expense for the same amount. This expense becomes a part of the income statement.
Overall, a provision is an amount recognized for future expenses or losses. Similarly, it represents the liabilities that companies record in the balance sheet for those expenses. This way, provisions impact the income statement and the balance sheet. While these items represent funds aside for future use, they may not include a cash flow initially. Therefore, the treatment of provision in the cash flow statement may be complex.
When companies expect the future expense to occur, they may create a provision. For example, warranties may warrant companies to estimate future costs and record them. Consequently, companies must increase their expenses in the income statement. In contrast, they must also increase their liabilities. This process does not involve any flows from cash and cash equivalent balances.
Related article What Does the Cash Flow Statement Tell You?
The first treatment of provisions in the cash flow statement is removing its non-cash impact. This process is critical when reporting cash flows under the indirect method of the cash flow statement. Usually, provisions are a part of the non-cash item adjustments made under this format. When companies bring net profits over from the income statement, they may include non-cash expenses. By adding them back, companies can remove the impact.
However, provisions do not constitute creating liabilities and expenses only. These expected costs may realize in the future. When it happens, companies may incur cash outflows. Therefore, they must include it in the cash flow statement to treat provisions. However, they must establish that the compensation occurred through cash and cash equivalent resources. For non-monetary reimbursements, the cash flow statement won't need adjustments.
Therefore, the second treatment for provisions in the cash flow statement is reporting actual cash flows. Usually, these provisions cause companies to pay amounts to other parties. These amounts are in cash or occur through cash equivalent resources. Therefore, they constitute cash outflows. Companies must record these in the cash flow statement. This process occurs by calculating the increase or decrease in the liability in the balance sheet.
Both treatments for provisions occurs under cash flows from operating activities. The first appears after the net profits as a non-cash adjustment. In contrast, the second treatment is a part of the increase or decrease calculations. These calculations also include other current assets and liabilities. However, these calculations can cause inflows or outflows for provisions.
Example of Provision in Cash Flow Statement
The treatment of provision in the cash flow statement occurs through cash flows from operating activities. As mentioned above, the first part includes removing the expense from the net profits. Since these expenses are not cash items, including them in the cash flow statement is not applicable. Companies add the total amount from the income statement in this process.
Related article The Main 4 Advantages and 4 Limitations of Cash Flow Statement You Should Know
The other treatment of provision in the cash flow statement also occurs through operating activities. However, it does not obtain figures from the income statement. Instead, it calculates the difference between the provision liability from the balance sheet. It gets those figures from the current year and the previous year's values in that statement. When reporting this balance, it may either include an increase or decrease.
If the provision balance in the balance sheet has decreased, it will constitute a cash outflow. A reduction in this amount usually implies the company has paid to settle the provision. They must report it in the cash flow statement as outflows from operating activities. In some cases, companies may also reduce the balance through other compensations. Consequently, they must not include it in the cash flow statement.
If the provision balance in the balance sheet has increased, it will constitute a cash inflow. However, the increase in the balance occurs through an increase in expenses. Companies may have already adjusted for them in the income statement. In those cases, companies must not include them in operating activities.
Overall, an example of the treatment of provision in the cash flow statement is below.
Net profits / (losses) XXXX / (XXXX)
Add: Provisions XXXX
Other non-cash adjustments XXXX / (XXXX)
Additions / subtractions from cash
– (Increase) / Decrease in current assets (XXXX) / XXXX
– Increase / (Decrease) in provisions XXXX / (XXXX)
– Increase / (Decrease) in other current liabilities XXXX / (XXXX)
Net cash flows from operating activities XXXX / (XXXX)
A provision represents funds set aside for future expenses or losses. Companies recognize these items under the IAS 37 accounting standard. Although they represent funds, they do not constitute actual cash flows. There are two treatments of a provision in the cash flow statement. Both treatments are a part of the cash flows from operating activities.

Lawsuit looms over tiny fish in drought-stricken West
By TownLift // Associated Press
WESTERN STATES — Conservationists have notified U.S. wildlife officials that they will sue over delayed decisions related to protections for two rare fish species that are threatened by groundwater pumping in the drought-stricken West.
The Center for Biological Diversity sent a formal notice of intent to sue the Fish and Wildlife Service last week over the Fish Lake Valley tui chub near the California-Nevada line and the least chub in southwest Utah.
Utah and Nevada are the driest states in the country, and the lawsuits are among the many fronts on which conservationists are battling water districts and the users they cater to over plans to siphon water to either maintain or expand consumption.
The outcome of the court fights will likely have major implications for states' parched valleys and the people and species that inhabit them.
The group seeking federal listings under the Endangered Species Act says the high-desert springs where the minnows live are threatened by water allocations for traditional agricultural use as well as urban development plans.
The Fish and Wildlife Service belatedly concluded in August there was enough evidence the tui chub in Nevada was at risk of extinction — primarily due to over-pumping of water for farms and ranches — to warrant a yearlong review to determine if it should be listed.
The so-called 90-day finding had been due in June 2021, three months after the center petitioned for the listing. The center also noted in its Nov. 15 letter to the agency that the yearlong review should have been done in March.
Fish and Wildlife Service officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. The agency acknowledged in its August finding that the petition "presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing the Fish Lake Valley tui chub as an endangered or threatened species may be warranted."
The only place in the world that the 5-inch-long, olive-colored tui chub still exists is in a basin in Esmeralda County between Reno and Las Vegas.
"The Fish Lake Valley tui chub is staring extinction in the face because of the catastrophic overuse of groundwater in its native range," said Patrick Donnelly, Great Basin director at the Center for Biological Diversity.
Lake Valley's groundwater levels have declined as much as 2.5 feet (76 centimeters) per year over the past half-century, causing a cumulative drawdown of more than 75 feet (23 meters) since 1973, the listing petition said.
Donnelly said active geothermal leases and lithium claims nearby, if developed, also could put the springs at risk.
In Utah, more than half the remaining wild populations of the least chub are jeopardized by proposed groundwater pumping to support growth in Cedar City, about 170 miles (270 kilometers) northeast of Las Vegas.
The group petitioned to list that 2-inch-long, gold-colored minnow in September 2021, citing threats posed by the Pine Valley Water Supply Project. An initial finding and 12-month review for that species also are past due, the group said.
Once widely distributed in Utah's Bonneville Basin, the least chub has only seven remaining wild populations and about a dozen refuge populations where it's been reintroduced.
"Significant habitat loss and alteration, as well as competition and predation from non-native species, have driven this species close to extinction," the center wrote.
Officials from Utah's Central Iron County Water Conservancy District want to spend roughly $260 million to lay about 70 miles (110 kilometers) of buried pipes to transport water from an aquifer below the Pine Valley, an undeveloped, rural swath north of the district's population center in Cedar City. They say limits on their local groundwater supply and an influx of new residents require they diversify their water supply to prepare for the future.
District General Manager Paul Monroe said a review of groundwater assessments found any impacts on the springs would be "less than significant."
The project has been opposed for decades by neighboring Beaver County, Native American tribes, some ranchers and Nevada counties worried that siphoning water from Pine Valley will affect nearby aquifers.
"Endangered Species Act protection would ensure the Pine Valley water grab doesn't jeopardize the survival of this tiny native Utah fish," said Krista Kemppinen, a scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity.
