2014 Season Breakdown: Terence Garvin actually had a greater impact on the defensive side of the ball in 2013 as an undrafted rookie than he did in 2014 as a more veteran player. He played only 11 snaps on the year, with seven of them coming at the goal line in the first matchup against the Ravens in an experiment that didn't exactly end well.
In this package, the Steelers left just one defensive back on the field, while adding an additional lineman and two linebackers. Garvin was one of the extra linebackers on these carries. The formation was effective against the run, but gave up two short touchdowns through the air, with the first one going against Garvin.
Garvin saw more playing time as a rookie, especially toward the end of the season—but of course the circumstances were different. The starter at the mack position was lost for the year in the season opener, and the other two backups were also new to the team. In 2014, The Steelers retained one of those two other players, got another back from injury after two years, and used their first-round draft pick at the same position, so of course his playing opportunities on defense became more scarce in year two.
Of course, defense has never been his primary function for the Steelers. He made it as an undrafted rookie in 2013 because of his special teams play, forcing the team to carry nine linebackers, including Garvin, who had to win his offseason roster spot via a tryout.
And special teams has been his forte, certainly racking up double-digits tackles on special teams in each of his first two seasons with the team. He also substantially cut down on missing tackles on special teams this past season as well, and has become quite reliable.
Garvin has played a role as a blocker in each of the team's last two punts returned for touchdowns. Last year, he took out the Bengals' punter (for which he was later fined). In the season finale in 2014, he blocked two different Bengals on the same play. He has the look of a future special teams captain, serving on all the key units and filling whatever role is asked of him with competence.
Free Agency Outlook: As an exclusive rights free agent, Garvin wouldn't have had a lot of options (namely, one) if he wanted to continue his career in the league. Of course, the Steelers have already announced that they have tendered him and signed him to keep him on the roster for the 2015 season, making his free agency outlook a moot point.
The more interesting question will be whether he could take over as the Steelers' special teams captain. With four other inside linebackers already under contract, it's unlikely that he sees much if any playing time on defense.

Lorain County Commissioners voice support for DACA
By Jodi Weinberger | The Chronicle-Telegram
Published on Sept. 21, 2017 | Updated 12:21 p. m.
ELYRIA — Lorain city leaders made a passionate plea to Lorain County commissioners Wednesday to oppose the rescinding of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Lorain City Council President Joel Arredondo and Joe Mendiola, president of the Lorain Immigration Rights Association, said the Latino population is feeling the effects of President Donald Trump's plan to eliminate DACA.
The commissioners followed Oberlin's lead in adopting a resolution in support of the 800,000 people, the "Dreamers" who were brought to the United States as children with no sure path to citizenship.
Mendiola said he's been in touch with students who are Dreamers but didn't want to take them out of school to attend the commissioners' meeting.
"As we started this meeting here, we pledged allegiance to the flag," Mendiola said. "As a prior military man, I'm very proud to do that, and as a citizen of this country, I'm very proud to do that.
"These children in the school system today, and every day since they were brought here from Mexico at a very young age, they pledged allegiance to the flag also. In every way they are American, but they don't have the papers to prove it."
Commissioner Matt Lundy called the repeal of DACA "cruel, inhumane and un-American."
"This is not the America that we know," Lundy said.
Sacred Heart Chapel has provided a place for undocumented immigrants to meet, Mendiola said, but he doesn't want the population to feel scared.
"It drives them back into the shadows of our society because now (federal) immigration has their address, where they live, where they go to school, where they work, so they're very, very vulnerable," Mendiola said. "This is not why I spent my time in the military."
Lorain is home to the largest population of Latinos in Lorain County, and Arredondo said they have made many contributions.
"It's a proven fact that immigrants will take more risks than people here in the United States," Arredondo said. "Frankly speaking, they come from nothing so have nothing to lose."
The resolution adopted by commissioners also calls on Congress to create a plan for Dreamers to have a path to full citizenship.
"It's a shame that this administration has done this, but if we pull for the Dreamers and Congress (to pass a bill) that would give them a status where they could feel safe again that would be the ultimate goal," Mendiola said.

A: to store the data to localStorage, you have to define name of the storage first and then the data.
localStorage.setItem('storageName', recipeData)
to see the data of localStorage.
console.log(localStorage.getItem('StorageName'))
learn more https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage
and theres no need this.recipeData because u declare the variable on the function. to get the data enought with recipeData

A: Local storage is a key-value data structure, you have to specify a key that will be used to retrieved the data from the storage as the first parameter. This is the syntax localStorage.setItem(keyName, keyValue);
Also, it has to be saved and retrieved as a string, stringifying it when saving and parsing it when getting it.
Your code for saving the object should be like this:
localStorage.setItem('recipeDataKey', JSON.stringify(this.recipeData));

and for retrieving:
const recipeData = JSON.parse(localStorage.setItem('recipeDataKey'));

Labor reform in Greece
2021-06-27 | Greece
On June 16, the Greek Parliament passed a bill that allows and _legalizes_the ten-hour workday. The new labor reform in Greece also introduces a digital work card in order to monitor employees in real time Spanish-style, as well as increasing the maximum overtime to 150 hours per year. In addition, the new law aims to impose new minimum services in public services in case of strike and sanctions in case of service interruption.
Government, left and unions for the "flexibilization" of labor
June 11, 2011. Unions call for mobilizations against austerity and Brussels while implementing together with the government the first labor reform in Greece
The ruling party, Mitsotakis' New Democracy, proclaims that labor reform in Greece upholds the freedom of the worker to_choose_whether to work more than eight hours a day in order to then gain more days off. That is, the _freedom_to have a working day of ten hours a day for four days a week.
The opposition and unions answer the obvious: the law abolishes the eight-hour workday, opens the door for companies to force workers to work longer hours each day and, by not counting the ninth and tenth hours a day as overtime, will allow them to be paid less than they would have been until now. They also say that the work flexibility agreements not only force workers to work longer hours, but lead to a reduction overall in the workday for many workers as it is part of an effort to get a higher proportion of part-time workers.
One of the parties expressing opposition to the bill is the Movement for Change (KINAL), within the long-standing PASOK (Panhellenic Socialist Movement) party. The same party which imposed austerity from 2009 to 2012. We all remember those years: brutal VAT hikes, minimum wage cut, pension freeze, runaway increase in precariousness.... PASOK was then the champion of the flexibilization of labor and the vanguard of the labor reform in Greece.
In fact, in 2011 it passed a law allowing to fix in collective bargaining agreement that in the case of in periods of high workload the 10-hour workday would be instituted. Moreover, companies could even go beyond 40 hours per week by distributing 256 hours/person per year according to production needs. In other words, the abolition of the eight-hour working day had already occurred under PASOK... the difference is that the 2011 law allowed extending the working day up to 10 hours only in large collective agreements of large companies not in sectoral agreements covering the vast majority of SMEs.
What did the unions do in 2011? They adduced that the government was only executing what was imposed on it from Brussels, redirecting anger into crass nationalism and calling strikes against austerity devoid of real content in order to relieve pressure, doing their bit to pin workers' hopes on a change of government. ...whose results with SYRIZA (short for Coalition of the Radical Left) were as notorious as they were predictable.
SYRIZA, which also criticizes the new law, not only maintained Law 3986/2011 during its administration... but passed law 4498/2017, which stated that healthcare workers could be forced to work up to 12 hours and that even this working day could be extended up to 12 hours more if necessary from the point of view of continuity of healthcare. Tsipras' party is now defending itself by saying that it never applied it in a specific case
But the left knows all too well that the worsening of exploitation conditions in big business and management sets the tone for the situation in medium and small businesses. To survive the competition, the petty bourgeoisie needs to exploit more in absolute terms in order to compensate for its lower availability of capital. To give way to an exceptional situation in the big ones and expect it not to transform all working conditions is a pipe dream.
In fact, both Syriza and Pasok, support the flexibilization of labor tutored by the unions. They do not oppose the imposition of the 10-hour workday where it is not regulated to the contrary by sectoral agreement.... provided that the legal representatives of the worker... i.e. the unionss are consulted. Put another way, what worries the left about labor reform in Greece is not what it means for workers, but that it displaces the unions as co-managers of the exploitation of the workforce.
Labor reform in Greece and the nationalist poison
Union rally in front of parliament against labor reform in Greece
On the other hand, the peculiar Greek electoral system, which gives fifty extra deputies to the winning party, making post-election coalitions unnecessary, allows in the current labor reform only the ruling party to have to get its hands dirty.
Meanwhile, the EU hails labor reform in Greece as a major step forward for Greece's progress and productivity. In a country with endemic unemployment figures only comparable to Spain, New Democracy presents the law as a means to reduce unemployment and therefore as a matter of social justice; they remark that it introduces for the first time a 14-day paternity leave and that the digital work card will serve to protect workers from being forced to work overtime without compensation. The same thing Sánchez said in Spain and most likely with the same result: the breaks will end up outside of the contribution, hourly record and salary.
But labor reform in Greece is mostly geared toward making labor cheaper. It is about having as much labor available as possible, paying as little overtime as possible and freely using part-time contracts. In a word: the government is once again stepping on the accelerator of precarization in order to give extra oxygen to national capital. They seek to extend the effects of the Pasok law of 2011, when flexibility was established in collective bargaining contracts.
In 2012, there was an 18.42% decrease in full-time employment contracts compared to 2011, and a 3.61% increase in part-time employment contracts. New hires with part-time and rotational work contracts accounted for 45% of all new contracts.
Greece: Working time flexibility. Eurofound.
Labor reform in Greece has nothing to do with any supposed worker freedom which only exists in the mists of commodity religion. The government has no other goal than to revive national capital... just like the EU and the conditionality of the recovery funds. And just like the left and trade unions which barely called for a day of empty parades... they self-sabotaged it by calling it off for teachers and public transport drivers with the excuse of providing a service to the students who were taking their university entrance exams that day.
Nothing can be expected from one or the other. An integral part of state capitalism and the [monopolistic management of the labor power](http://dictionary.marxismo.school/Trade union/), they can have no other message than the nationalist one i.e., prioritizing the needs of national capital as if it were the common good. But the needs of capital to revalorize itself and accumulate are increasingly and violently antagonistic to universal human needs. We see it every day in the evolution of our living conditions, in our work and even in the management of the pandemic.
On the assertion of universal human needs, which lies at the root of all their class expressions, workers cannot count on trade unions or left-wing parties. Neither in Greece nor anywhere else.


As part of the BBC Bitesize Schools Tour, four guests opened up their working world to Trinity Academy students.
The visit coincided with the national BBC News Day, which a small group of the academy's students were involved in.
'Trinity's guests for the day were Kim Boak, a producer for BBC Bitesize; Dan Tunstall, a self-employed lighting technician and Christian Carlisle, a presenter at BBC Radio Sheffield.
'The event was hosted by radio presenter and DJ Sarah Story, who shared her experiences with the students and interviewed the rest of the panel.
'This visit provided an inspiring insight into the world of media, and emphasised the diversity of careers available to students in the future.
'The guests each shared their individual stories, which highlighted just how many different paths there are into the world of work, and gave a brief idea of what their jobs are.
'Throughout the session the visitors gave advice, in particular discussing how to be more confident, which our young people found to be a very relevant topic.
'They also used media clips which were lively and engaging – and students were impressed by Dan Tunstall's first-hand experience of working on Lewis Capaldi's latest music video 'Someone You Loved' which is currently number one in the charts.
The session finished with a range of questions from students.


Every year in Singapore, there are thousands of students who enroll in junior college for their pre-university education which takes two years to complete. Students who enroll in junior college have the option to choose among several subjects to form their subject combinations. One of the more popular subjects is economics. However, a large number of students find it difficult to cope with the subject and therefore will seek external help at some point which means that they will enroll in an economics tuition centre which specializes in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Level Economics. In Singapore, there are many economics tuition centres which vary in terms of size and the caliber of the economics tutor. For example, Mr. Edmund Quek is an effective and experienced economics tutor at Economics Cafe Learning Centre which is a large and renowned economics tuition centre located in Bishan. Over the last two decades, he has helped thousands of students achieve a good grade in the external examination. In contrast, there are some smaller and less well-known economics tuition centres which have not produced impressive results. Apart from economics, a large number of students also struggle with other subjects such as chemistry which is also a highly demanding subject. Similarly, many of them will seek external help for the subject. The questions is, is economics tuition more important than tuition in other subjects? In my view, the answer is yes.
Economics teachers in the school have a large content area to cover with their students. As a result, they have limited time to spend on examination question practice. With the help of a good and experienced economics tutor from a reputable economics tuition centre, students are able to learn the application of the key economic concepts to do well in the external examination. This is done through practicing past-year examination questions which include both essay questions and case study questions with the economics tutor. With sufficient examination question practice, this will enhance the students' understanding of the key economic concepts which they are required to master in order to do well in the external examination.
A good economics tutor from a renowned economics tuition centre will be able to teach students higher-order thinking skills which they may not be able to learn in school. This is due to lack of experience of some economics teachers in school. To be fair, there are some good economics teachers in school but some students are not lucky enough to be taught by these economics teachers. Higher-order think skills are especially important for producing a good evaluation for an essay which carries 5 out of a total of 15 or 25 marks, depending on the question. Higher-order thinking skills also help in the body of an essay and this is particularly true for the anti-thesis which many students have difficulty in producing. This is not to say that higher-order skills do not help in the thesis of an essay at all but to a lesser extent compared to the anti-thesis and the evaluation.
Economic concepts are interlinked. Therefore, the inability to understand some economic concepts will impede the understanding of other economic concepts which will in turn impede the understanding of more economic concepts. With help from a good economics tutor from a premier economics tuition centre, this problem can be avoided as the students can clear their doubts with the economics tutor immediately when they arise. This will prevent the doubts from accumulating and therefore prevent the problem from reaching a stage where it becomes too difficult to solve.

this one's for my dad and osman
BLAST the audio. It's a test of an FI engine. Sounds like a dog growling and barking toward the end there.
I love these dudes. Crank the audio and listen to the overtones.
Fuente y Caudal
...is the name of an album by Paco de Lucia. I first owned the album like 15 years ago, but it was stolen from my apt in LA. I just bought it again about a month ago. For some reason I always assumed that Fuente y Caudal were two characters from a Spanish story, sort of like Platero y Yo.
I was wrong. I knew fuente meant fountain, but that's it. Fuente y Caudal, as far as I have now learned, are hydrodynamic terms to describe a river, fuente meaning source, caudal meaning flow, or discharge (i.e. how much water moves through a given space in a given time).
This now makes Fuente y Caudal a totally cool title for a flamenco album. Source and Flow...one thinks of the torrents of music coming out of Paco. Also makes me think of how flamenco songs (each of which is one of only a handful of types: solea, bulerias, fandandgo, etc.) don't really seem distinct from one another. And many types -- solea, alegrias, bulerias -- are just the same rhythmic pattern (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12) at different speeds. They are just different variations on a theme, within a particular rhythm...different streams off the same river fed by the same source.
that's the deep thought for the day.
if you have Quicktime, iTunes or a video iPod, download this video of Paco playing a Solea. I'd give my left and right ones to play like this.

there goes the neighborhood
this is where Andrea and I live. the only newsworthy part is when they note that the Dominicans are moving out not because they're "movin' on up" like the previous immigrant groups, but just because they can't afford to live here anymore.
its funny, just walking around here, you can definitely perceive the layers of culture that have caked down onto the prior ones. walking up broadway, like I did last year, you still see a ton of Irish bars, now mostly full of Dominicans, with the odd Irish holdout who seems out of place when he steps outside to smoke and watch the world go by. our building, which used to be almost entirely european jews is now, i'd say, half yuppies like me and andrea.
but i don't know why this is news. Little Italy no longer exists, other then maybe one block. I guess Chinatown is still Chinatown. my old neighborhood on the upper east side used to be hungarian and german, and they're just gone. the village used to be gay, now its chelsea.
i suppose there's a point to noticing the change (see prior post), but other than that it feels like saying gas used to cost 40 cents a gallon.
funny juxtaposition
This is a story about a skydiver who survived a 12,000 ft fall when his chutes failed, with video.
And these are magnified images of bugs killed on windshields.
Both things that go splat (or normally would go splat in the case of the skydiver), and both hit on a theme I often think about, which is how the scale (both physical and temporal) of events affects our perception of them.
found both here, a good site for the odd story here and there and a lot of stories about geeks hating the RIAA and Microsoft.
read this one too. i myself have sent around the hockey stick.
read it. found it here, via here.

Sergei Naryshkin's working visit to the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and South Ossetia
Chief of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Naryshkin laid a wreath at the Tree of Grief memorial and a monument to the servicemen killed during the anti-terrorist operation in September 2004 while freeing hostages from a school in Beslan.
The same day, at South Ossetia's invitation, Sergei Naryshkin arrived in the republic's capital Tskhinval to participate in Independence Day celebrations.
During the meeting with South Ossetia's President Eduard Kokoity, Sergei Naryshkin stressed that Russia values its allied relations with South Ossetia and appreciates the dynamic development of cooperation in all areas: politics, the economy and humanitarian sphere.
The Chief of Staff took part in the plenary session of the First Russian-South Ossetian Business Forum. At the forum, agreements were signed between the Russian and South Ossetian chambers of commerce, as well as agreements on cooperation in agriculture, information technology, tourism and projects supervised by the Regional Development Ministry.
Mr Naryshkin presented state decorations to Russian citizens in South Ossetia who have made a significant contribution to strengthening Russian-South Ossetian ties.
At the parade held in honour of South Ossetia's Independence Day, Sergei Naryshkin read out a message of congratulations which President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev sent to the President of South Ossetia. Together with Eduard Kokoity, Sergei Naryshkin laid a wreath at the memorial to those killed fighting for the republic's independence, and paid tribute to Russian peacekeepers killed while repelling the Georgian aggression in August 2008.
The Chief of Staff inspected the special equipment of South Ossetia's Emergency Ministry and the newly-built fire station, attended the opening of the water station with drinking water for Tskhinval and handed over keys to new flats to the city's residents who had lost their homes in August 2008.

Subaru used the recently concluded New York Auto show to unveil their latest 2017 Subaru Impreza. The 5-door hatch and 4-door sedan are popular haulers among young Americans hence the decision to unveil them in New York. The models become the first Subaru Imprezas ever to be built in the US.
The automaker also announced that both the sedan and the hatch will be underpinned by the new Subaru Global platform that will also be introduced to other models in the Subaru lineup. The new platform has been specifically developed to accommodate electric and hybrid power-trains which is the direction the market is taking.
The 2017 Subaru Impreza will be offered in 4 trim levels (Base, Premium, Sport and Limited) just like its predecessors. However, for the first time, the Sport trim is also available for the sedan.
The front profile of the sedan and hatchback are identical and are based on the Concept Subaru showcased in LA auto show last year. The features are however toned down for production purposes. The front features a redesigned grille with blacked-out mesh. The grille is surrounded by sporty LED headlights and LED DRLs.
The Limited trim features Konoji LED running lights. The bumper below the grille is also new and is integrated with a thin center intake and modified side vents. The sides vents feature small black inserts and are not chromed like on the outgoing models. The engine hood has been revised and it does not extend into the grille like in the predecessor models.
On the sides, the sedan and the hatch are similar to some extent. They sport a similar body line below the waistline just above their side skirts. They also share the line that connects the outer tip of the headlights and the tip of the taillights. Above the waistline, the two versions are a bit different. The hatch sports a small pointed window at the rear quarter panel.
Things are very different at the rear. The hatchback features a dominating overhang with a black trim on each side of the hatch glass. The taillights also stretch onto the hatch just as they extend to the sedan's deck-lid. The hatch features a body line below the taillights which is not available on the sedan. The hatch also features a reflector on each corner as well as a recessed area in the middle. For the sedan, its taillights extend into the trunk lid while its recess is thinner and longer. This gives it a wide stance. The sedan also features a black spoiler above the trunk lid.
The base Imprezas will ride on 15-inch wheels. The Premium trim models will feature 16-inch alloys while the Limited trim gets 17-inch machine-finished alloys. The Sport trim will ride on 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels.
Except for the physical dimensions, the interior of the sedan and of the hatch are identical. This difference in shape means the hatch has better headroom for the rear passengers courtesy of its extended roof. Both models will accommodate five passengers. The Base trim models feature quality cloth upholstery on the seats. The hatchback rear seats have a 60/40 split-folding capability to offer more cargo room when need be.
Standard features on the Base trim of both the hatch and the sedan include a 6.5-inch display for its infotainment system. The system features Android Auto, Apple Carplay and Bluetooth connectivity. The Base trim also features a tilt-and telescoping steering wheel and power windows. There is a second multifunctional screen which displays various information such as fuel economy.
The Premium trim adds the automakers Starlink safety system and heated front seats. The Sport trim on the other hands introduces an 8.0 –inch display, keyless entry and ignition, and a leather wrapped steering wheel. For audiophiles, the trim features Harman/Kardon premium sound system. The top Limited trim is the most equipped. It adds leather upholstery as standard. The leather upholstery is contrasted with a double stitching on the instrument panel and on door armrests. The trim also adds a 6-way power driver's seat. Its steering wheel and shifter are wrapped in leather; an automatic climate control system is also offered. A navigation system featuring maps by TomTom and an EyeSight technology are offered as options.
The Eyesight technology features a host of driving aids such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking assist, blind-spot monitoring, reverse automatic braking and automatic high-beams.
The Subaru Impreza 2017 is powered by an upgraded 2.0 L 4-cylinder boxer engine. Subaru has hooked up the engine with direct injection. The upgrade has helped pump output from 148 hp to 152 hp.
The engine will be mated with a CVT transmission with paddle shifters in high trim levels. Some markets will have an option for a manual gearbox but as of this writing, Subaru had not confirmed or denied whether the manual will be available in the US. All models will feature Subaru's Symmetrical AWD as standard. EPA ratings are not yet out but we expect the engine to be more efficient even though just slightly compared to the version on current models. Outgoing models with CVT transmission return 29 mpg in city and 38 mpg on highway.
Subaru had not yet released pricing details of the 2017 Subaru Impreza as of this writing. However, we don't expect much change from the current model prices but there could be a price hike of around $1,000. Currently, the 2016 base hatch has an MSRP of $ 18,795 while the top hatch trim attracts up to $ 23,595.
The base sedan, on the other hand, starts at $ 19,090 and goes as high as $ 24,390. Both the hatch and the sedan will go on sale in the second half of 2016. The automaker will announce actual prices close to the sale date.
The Impreza sedan will face rivalry from the likes of Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Mitsubishi Lancer. The hatchback, on the other hand, will compete with the new models of Mazda 3 and Ford Focus.

As we Christians embark on the third millennium, we face more than ever the need to define our faith. In a world that resists truth and pays the price in escalating evil, Jesus says we are the salt of the earth—people of truth advancing the Gospel of peace. But how well do we understand what we preach?
A group of prominent church leaders and scholars did more than just ask that question. They drafted a clear, definitive statement of the essentials of the Gospel titled "The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration." Leaders from across the denominational landscape have endorsed it, and the list of names, already impressive, continues to grow. This remarkable show of unity affirms the core beliefs about our salvation that evangelicals hold in common. In the face of our differences, these are what bind us together as the church of Jesus Christ and make the Gospel the Good News of Great Joy.
This We Believe helps you understand the statement's key points. If you want to know exactly what the Gospel is, this book tells you. Sponsored by the statement's drafting committee, it includes contributions from such well-known communicators as J. I. Packer, Joseph Stowell, Lee Strobel, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Ravi Zacharias. With clarity and passion, they help you understand the Gospel's simple, profound, and priceless message.


We believe WhatsApp is better than any other social media platform to promote this business idea. It's free, accessible, user-friendly and compatible with almost every smartphone.
So why WhatsAd and not TweetAd or SnapAd or Insta-Ad? First off, WhatsApp the has the largest user base in the Ghanaian market. So, I did a small survey of my tech-savvy friends and guess what? Out of 50 people, all of them were on WhatsApp, 35 on Twitter, 34 on Instagram and 20 on Snapchat. This should give us a fair idea of how important this app is.
WhatsApp is a mobile application which allows you to send text messages including videos, audios and pictures to other users. It is used across a wide range of system software platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry etc. You see unlike the blackberry messenger, WhatsApp is not restricted to one operating system. Also, you are not bombarded with ads. We all know how annoyingly these ads get in the way especially when you are busy working on the internet.
The last thing that makes WhatsApp ideal is the number of people hooked on it. The numbers keep growing, the updates keep getting exciting and the ideas are overwhelming. Now turn those users into consumers and it's simply mind-blowing.
What is the first thing the average Ghanaian does with their phones in the morning? 90% and more would say, checking on the status of their contacts. Or say how many of you have had to prompt something on their status? Now, how about you do that same thing but get paid this time around.
That is why have we at WhatsAd have decided to use this to bring financial freedom, one view at a time. And maybe in the near future, we may be a having our TweetAd after all if it promises to unseat WhatsApp.

Q: Why does react not compile HTML present in a state I set a default value of a state to be   Hey  . Now when I rendered this state on the UI it printed the string instead of Hey wrote in bold.I want to know why it is not working. Why react is not able to interpret the html tag and show the appropriate output
import { useState } from "react";
import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  const [html, setHtml] = useState("Hey");
  return (

Hello CodeSandbox

Start editing to see some magic happen!

{html}

  );
}

Output :-

Was expecting the output to be Hey written in bold.
Here's the codesandbox link for better understanding :- https://codesandbox.io/s/heuristic-chaum-vo6qt?file=/src/App.js
Thank you. I just want to know why react is not able to render the HTML tag as HTML tag instead of printing it out.

A: Because you are rendering a string, not HTML. If you want to render stringified HTML then use dangerouslySetInnerHTML, use caution what you pass through, in other words, you may want to run the string through a DOM purifier first.
export default function App() {
  const [html, setHtml] = useState("Hey");
  return (

Hello CodeSandbox

Start editing to see some magic happen!

  );
}

A: You are setting the value of html as "Hey" which is a string string that's why it renders that as it is. You can directly assign html to the variable like so:
  const [html, setHtml] = useState(Hey);

A: It's a string and not HTML, to fix that maybe you can insert it in the div as  innerHTML  ie.
document.querySelector(".divClassName").innerHTML = html

Hallas, a former stockbroker representative at a number of New York City broker-dealers, including PHX Financial, Santander, and Forefront Capital, is alleged by the SEC to have violated the multiple federal securities laws. Investors should speak to a private attorney about their rights. We at PedersonLaw are currently investigating this matter. Please call 1-866-817-0201.
First, Hallas is alleged to have purchased and sold daily leveraged Exchange-Traded Funds and Notes (ETFs and ETNs) in his customers' accounts, knowingly or recklessly disregarding that these products were unsuitable for such customers. Hallas had no reasonable basis for recommending daily leveraged ETFs and ETNs. This constitutes a violation of the suitability requirement that a broker must only recommend investments that are suitable in light of an investors risk tolerance, objectives and that are within an investors level of sophistication.
Second, Hallas is alleged to have stolen funds from investors. Under the guise of soliciting funds from one of his customers for investment purposes, misappropriated a total of $170,750 from that customer.
The products in which Hallas invested his customers' hard-earned savings were daily leveraged ETFs and ETNs, and are characterized by a significant degree of volatility and risk. As alleged in the SEC complaint, these products were unsuitable, and Hallas had no reasonable basis for these recommendations.
ETFs are investment companies and ETNs are unsecured notes. Daily leveraged ETFs and ETNs seek to deliver a multiple, the inverse, or a multiple of the inverse of the performance of an underlying index or benchmark over the course of a single trading day. To accomplish their investment objectives, daily leveraged ETFs and ETNs pursue a range of investment strategies, though the strategies are mostly speculative, and only appropriate for investors willing to take the highest level of risk.
The strategies include swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative instruments. These products are inherently risky, complex and volatile, and are only appropriate for sophisticated, high-risk investors.
Hallas's investors paid a total of approximately $128,000 in commissions and fees in connection with the purchase and sale of these 179 positions. The net loss across these 179 positions was approximately $150,000.
Hallas purchased and sold 22 different daily leveraged ETFs and ETNs in his customer accounts. These products sought to double or triple the performance, or the inverse of 2 Case 1:17-cv-02999 Document 1 Filed 04/25/17 Page 3 of 17 the performance, of over a dozen different underlying indices, including the S&P 500 VIX ShortTerm Futures Index, an investment based upon a volatility index, as well as certain gold mining, oil and gas and Russian, Chinese and Brazilian stock indices.
Finally, in a what the SEC has described as a "brazen and fraudulent scheme," Hallas misappropriated $170,750 from an unsophisticated investor, who the SEC describes as "a truck driver with no trading or finance experience and no retirement resources outside of the funds that he provided to Hallas." The investor transferred funds to Hallas with the understanding that Hallas would make investments on his behalf; instead, Hallas spent Customer's A's funds on personal expenditures – a fact that he concealed from the investor.
A comprehensive article on the deeds of Mr. Hallas can be found in Investmentnews.com.
To speak to a private attorney about the recovery of losses with Mr. Hallas, call 1-866-817-0201 for a free and confidential initial consultation.

If you have suffered investment losses with First Financial Equity Corp. ("FFEC") please call for a free consultation with an attorney at 1-866-817-0201. Recent actions of FINRA, the financial industry regulator, indicate that investors may have been harmed by the actions of this firm.
FFEC and its chief compliance officer entered into a settlement with FINRA regulators on March 8, 2017 concerning the lapses in supervision. The alleged lapses allowed a variety of different fraudulent activity to occur throughout FFEC and in particular the Scottsdale, Arizona branch. FINRA asserted that the chief supervisor of FFEC, the chief compliance officer, had not adequately supervised and that the firm did not have adequate supervisory procedures.
The most obvious result of the lack of supervision is the 26 customer complaints of broker John Schooler. These complaints, many of which evolved into arbitration lawsuits, involved his inappropriate trades in oil & gas investments and TIC investments.
One issue alleged to be a result of the inadequate supervision is the sale of unsuitable ETFs. Unsuitable securities are those which are not consistent with the wants and needs of an investor. Usually, an investment is unsuitable if it puts at risk funds not earmarked for risk, or otherwise is inconsistent with who the client is as an investor.
In the case of FFEC, its brokers recommended and invested its customers in aggressive ETFs, including leveraged and inverse ETFs. Such investments are known to be high risk, yet the brokers recommended the investments to individuals who did not express a desire for high risk investments. Worse, many of these investments were purchased by the FFEC brokers for accounts where the brokers were given discretion and not given the required supervisory review.
To ensure suitability, FFEC brokers were required to obtain sufficient information about their investors to evaluate the investments that would be suitable. The settlement states that this was not done.
Another issue alleged to have been caused by the lack of supervision is churning/excessive trading. This occurs any time trades are made which the costs and fees are of an amount that the trades benefit the adviser more than the investor.

If you have suffered losses with an ETF purchased through Morgan Stanley please call 1-866-817-0201 for a free and confidential consultation with a private attorney concerning your rights. We have reason to believe that Morgan Stanley engaged in systematic wrongdoing in the sale of certain ETFs based upon recent findings of the The Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC announced on February 14, 2017 that it has settled with Morgan Stanley for $8 million for inappropriate sales of complex exchange traded funds to advice clients. More importantly, Morgan Stanley admitted to wrongdoing.
Morgan Stanley failed to obtain a signed client disclosure notice, which stated that single inverse ETFs were typically unsuitable for investors planning to hold them longer than one trading session unless used as part of a trading or hedging strategy. This is important because the number of clients this impacted number in the hundreds.
The investment recommendations were also unsuitable, in violation of the regulatory duties that Morgan Stanley owes its investors. Morgan Stanley solicited clients to purchase single inverse ETFs in retirement and other accounts, the securities were held long-term, and many of the clients experienced losses.
Morgan Stanley also owes a duty to the investors to follow its own internal regulations. The SEC's order finds that Morgan Stanley did not adequately implement its policies and procedures to ensure that clients understood the risks involved with purchasing inverse ETFs.

On the eve of the Digital Kids Summit KICK OFF 2016 where Jo Booth and I are representing Lipa Learning we were fortunate to meet some of the attendees and presenters and are excited for the events planned for tomorrow, the day will begin early with a breakfast sponsored by the WIT (Women In Toys) Northern California Chapter.
As for tonight, this blog is a shout out to all the incredible people who are coming together to further the movement in the value of play in digital education. What a joy meeting Stuart Brown MD, his TED Talk, Play is more than just fun, is a must watch! A pioneer in research on play, Dr. Stuart Brown says humor, games, roughhousing, flirtation and fantasy are more than just fun. Plenty of play in childhood makes for happy, smart adults — and keeping it up can make us smarter at any age.
Mark Schlichting, with his fabulous new book, Understanding Kids, Play, and Interactive Design, being released in November and Barbara Chase the publisher, this book is for essential for anyone involved in designing, developing, or implementing interactive technology with children.
Kudos to Tonda Bunge Sellers, for putting together this wonderful happening with her dedicated staff! Will report back with much more as the events unfold.
