GERALD R. FORD PRESIDENT
White text on a red and blue outer edge on a white background with a black and white photograph of Ford in the middle
Following the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew on October 1973, Gerald R. Ford was nominated by President Nixon to become the 40th Vice President of the United States. However, Nixon resigned on August 1974 after losing public support over the Watergate scandal and Ford automatically became the 38th President of the United States. Ford is the only person who served as both Vice President and President without being elected to either office. He served as President from August 1974 to January 1977 with Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York as his Vice President. He was loved by the public and easily won the Republican Party's nomination in the 1976 presidential election. Ford's opponent was the Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter and he lost the election with 241 electoral votes to Carter's 297 votes.

Looks like we jumped in whole hog and bought a nice clean 1999 Dream. Mechanicaly it's in great shape, the interior is very nice!
We bought it reasonably and everything is %100 functional!
However it does have some rust on the underside, especially behind the wheels.
I can make the needed repairs from underneath but I would really like to remove the fender/wheel well panels when time permits and fix it correctly.
Does anyone have any tips for removing these pieces? My specialties are not in body work. I like the electrical, mechanical, fabrication side of things.
I'm in the same boat, I bought an almost identical coach, but a '99. Did you get any where with this?
On my '04, the wheel wells were bonded to metal brackets and the brackets bolted to a matching bracket on the body underside. The bolts were buried in undercoating.

Xbox Music Deals pulls free music offers, are they gone for good?
Kip Kniskern Email @kipkniskern Dec 15th, 2014 in Latest news
Well, that was fun while it lasted! In late November, Xbox Music began offering free music through its Xbox Music Deals app, and actually updated the music selection a number of times, but now it looks like the free ride is over. While there's still a 99 cent deal available as of this writing, and a number of great albums offered at $1.99 (those are apparently disappearing soon, too), the free music section has gone missing.
Last week, Microsoft posted that the 99 cent deals were coming to an end, but made no mention of the end of the free music promotion, although the albums were marked with a "time left" counter. Apparently the promotion came to an end even before the counter did, however, causing some concern over at Microsoft Answers. Sometimes you can't even give stuff away without upsetting people!
Although this latest round of promotions is over, Xbox Music Deals isn't done yet, according to a moderator at Microsoft Answers:
From my understanding this application will continue to run promotions. You might want to continue to check the application to see if the albums you wanted are part of a future promotion.
Let us know if you notice any new great stuff from Xbox Music Deals!

Six years ago, I bought a condo by securing a mortgage from a nearby credit union. During that period, I had a job in a multinational firm based in Ontario. So, it wasn't a difficult task for me to pay the monthly bill. The situations changed so quickly and I lost my job. I'm planning to consolidate my debts so that it would help me to reduce the monthly payments.
Debt consolidation could help in combining several unsecured debts including credit cards, bills and other mortgages. I have heard about a few professionals and bankruptcy trustees in Toronto offering consultation on debt consolidation. What are the documents needed for debt consolidation? If you know something related to this, please let me know!
Re: What are the documents needed for debt consolidation?
Welcome to our Community. I am sad to hear about your job, and do appreciate the fact that you are taking proactive measures to address the situation. I am positive that members of our forum will step up with their ideas.
Thank you so much, Ani! I hope others would come up with great ideas and suggestions!
Hi Richard, It would definitely help you to visit a financial expert such as a reliable bookkeeper or a CPA that regularly deals with small business clients. By reviewing your financials, he or she can then approximate how much financing you will need, taking into account existing debt obligations and operating revenue. They can also be instrumental that your records are in order. Sloppy or incomplete records can lead to declines from lending institutions, if they are not sure what the specifics are.
You also can take advantage of our many resources and expert articles to help you along your journey. You can find a lot of great information by browsing the Bank of America Small Business Resource Center: Credit and Lending.
I hope you find this information helpful. Feel free to continue to ask questions. We've got a great community, who will be glad to help!

Florida education officials seek funds for safety
Officials call for more spending on mental health services and armed security in schools
TALLAHASSEE — Florida education officials on Wednesday called on state lawmakers to boost spending on mental health services and armed security in schools, showing a continued focus on safety more than a year after a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The Florida Department of Education's budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1, includes $100 million in mental-health spending — a $25 million uptick over the current funding amount.
The state agency's budget request, approved by the Florida Board of Education on Wednesday, also contains an additional $1.4 million to "maintain" school resource officers in each Florida public school.
"It wasn't easy — quite an amazing feat — but I would like to thankfully report that, at the conclusion of last week, every single public school in the state of Florida, including charter schools, have coverage from school safety officers of some type as allowed by state law," Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said during Wednesday's meeting in Fort Lauderdale.
Under sweeping legislation passed shortly after the Feb. 14, 2018 shooting in Parkland, all public schools are required to have trained, armed security personnel onsite. But up until recently, many schools — particularly charter schools — have struggled to comply with that requirement.
In Broward County, more than two dozen charter schools failed to have long-term plans for full-time, armed security by the time the new school year began earlier this month. And on Tuesday, the Broward County school board took the unprecedented step of taking over a charter school that did not have a security contract in place when classes resumed last week.
"We continue to monitor, and if there is non-compliance, we will move with the tools we have to sanction," Broward County Superintendent of Schools Robert Runcie told the state board on Wednesday.
Corcoran acknowledged Wednesday that charter schools have struggled to have armed security certified by the state.
"Some of them were having difficulty with training," Corcoran said. "I would like to thank local law enforcement and school board members for coming together in some many different ways to make this happen."
The education commissioner said his hope is to expand coverage, which will be "greater and greater" in each school in the future.
The move to increase spending to maintain school safety officers comes days after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission blasted charter schools for not having long-term plans to have armed security on campus.
"The point is that it is clear to everyone in the commission that the best they have done is to play games before school starts," Polk Sheriff Grady Judd, a member of the commission, said during a meeting of the panel last week.
Runcie, who has faced some of the sharpest criticism for his district's perceived lapses leading up to and following the 2018 mass shooting at the Parkland school, told the state board on Wednesday that school security is his district's number one priority.
He also provided an example to the board to demonstrate the importance of state funding for student mental-health services.
"We are hiring over 200 additional psychologists, behavioral specialists, counselors. It has helped reduce caseload and it helped us to really provide services and impact our students," Runcie said.

Mystery About Earth's Van Allen Belts Solved by Researchers
Rechelle Ann Fuertes Dec 28, 2017 at 9:00 am GMT
Dec 28, 2017 at 9:00 am GMT
The tiny CREPT instrument will augment the science of NASA's Van Allen Probes, formerly known as the Radiation Belt Storm Probes. This artist's rendering of the Van Allen Probes mission shows the path of its two spacecraft through the radiation belts that surround Earth, which are made visible in false color. | NASA | www.nasa.gov
Researchers from Colorado have finally solved a decades-long mystery surrounding the Van Allen Belts.
With the help of a tiny orbiting satellite, researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder were able to shed light on the 60-year-old mystery shrouding Earth's Van Allen belts. In a study published in the journal Nature, the team investigated the source of the energetic and potentially damaging electrons found in our planet's inner radiation belt, near its inner edge.
If you're not familiar with it, the Van Allen Belts are two large belts of radiation surrounding Earth, a so-called area of energetic particles, and they are supposedly held in place by our planet's magnetic field. Apparently, these belts protect us from some of space's most dangerous radiation by trapping charged particles within its region.
"We have finally solved a six-decade-long mystery." – Professor Xinlin Li
Through the years, space scientists studied these belts in an effort to answer some more complex questions about its existence such as what happens when particles from our sun hit the belts during a geomagnetic storm. Researchers admit that more work needs to be carried out as many previous observations of the belts were done only with electrons at a small range of energy levels.
Researchers solved the 60-year-old mystery about Earth's #VanAllen beltsClick To Tweet
Uncovering the Van Allen Belts' Source of Energetic Particles
The study, led by Professor Xinlin Li of CU Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), was able to solve one of the many mysteries of the Van Allen belts: the source of its energetic and potentially harmful particles.
The study indicates that the energetic electrons found in our planet's inner radiation belt, particularly near the inner edge, originate from supernovae. It appears that during a process known as "cosmic ray albedo neutron decay" (CRAND), the cosmic rays from exploding stars entering Earth's atmosphere collide with neutral atoms. These collisions form a so-called splash which in turn produces charged particles, including electrons, that are being kept in place by Earth's magnetic fields.
"We are reporting the first direct detection of these energetic electrons near the inner edge of Earth's radiation belt," Li, a professor in CU-Boulder's Aerospace Engineering Sciences department, said.
It was said that soon after the discovery of the Van Allen belts in the late 1950s, both Russian and American scientists concluded that CRAND was most likely the reason behind the high-energy protons trapped in Earth's magnetic field. However, no one was able to successfully detect the electron counterparts that should have been produced during the neutron decay process.
Thanks to a CubeSat known as the Colorado Student Space Weather Experiment (CSSWE), the source of the once-undetectable energetic electrons were finally discovered. CubeSats are usually small satellites about the size of a loaf of bread.

CSSWE in particular housed a small, energetic particle telescope, the Relativistic, Electron and Proton Telescope, used to measure the flux of solar energetic protons and Earth's radiation belt electrons. It was launched in 2012 on an Atlas V rocket.
"This is really a beautiful result and a big insight derived from a remarkably inexpensive student satellite, illustrating that good things can come in small packages," Daniel Baker, co-author of the study, said. "It's a major discovery that has been there all along, a demonstration that Yogi Berra was correct when he remarked 'You can observe a lot just by looking.'"
The discovery of the source of energetic electrons in the Van Allen belts is beneficial in creating better space suits and ships for future space missions.

via MadameNoire by Tanay Hudson
Last week, the Real Housewives of Atlanta welcomed a new star, Shamari DeVoe of the R&B group Blaque and the wife of New Edition legend Ronnie DeVoe, and last night, another new cast member made her debut!
Continue!>>>
Businesswoman Tanya Sam will be stepping foot into the 'RHOA' world alongside Kandi Burrus, Nene Leakes, Porsha Williams, Eva Marcille and Cynthia Bailey. But who is Tanya Sam?
Sam is the Director of Partnerships at TechSquare Labs, which is "a technology startup hub and venture capital fund," according to her website. Sam is also the co-founder of BuiltxWomen, which helps female entrepreneurs start their businesses. She is also on the Board of Directors for Kate's Club, an organization that helps children who have lost a parent or a sibling.
With a Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Cell Biology from McGill University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The University of Toronto under her belt, she has practiced in some of the top oncology hospitals in the U.S.

Trust Your Ears
Hope springs eternal
By Jackson Griffith
"Forget Skinner," the frizzy-haired pillar of the local avant-garde was telling me at a club the other night. "MOM is the real deal."
At the time, I didn't know MOM from Magilla Gorilla, so the small girl-woman my art-damage-enthusiast friend was motioning toward, who looked away when he pointed, didn't register. A few days later, upon opening SN&R to the music page, there was an account by Josh Fernandez of MOM rubbing a Willie's chili burger in the face of an audience member.
Now, I have nothing against performance art. Of course, there is the old adage that one person's performance-art piece is another person's public manifestation of mental illness, but artists, even the most outsider ones, often have important things to say. Not sure how MOM's CD sounds, though; I'm not going to exercise contempt prior to investigation, and I haven't gotten 'round to investigating.
But I have been spinning the CD from a former local named Mark Lawrence.
Craft is often overlooked in the quest for truth, beauty and great music; "art" is the desired target. And while Swirl, the debut album by Lawrence—a current resident of Norfolk, Va., who once lived here and played in such bands as the Claustrophobes and Persephone's Bees—has plenty of art, it's the superbly crafted nature of the record that overwhelms.
Ears, of course, is an absolute sucker for sweet little Beatlesque collections of songs, and Lawrence has come up with a fine batch. The disc opens with the title track, a marvelous confection anchored with acoustic guitars played against rotoscoped electric axes, while shifting through several tempo changes. "Black Box" plays layered vocals against a minor-key electric wash; imagine if XTC had recorded The Dark Side of the Moon. "Torn" thrums with sweet vibrato, like the perfect marriage between Elvis Costello and Gram Parsons. Sublime.
And even on a slightly cheesier tip, like "All Over My Wall," which sounds like Todd Rundgren channeling Rupert "Piña Colada Song" Holmes over a lilting bossa-nova beat; or "Plastic Fish," a campy, jazzy romp that ends with a riff-rock shebang (which might be perfect soundtrack fodder if SpongeBob SquarePants ever decides to make a sequel), there are so many creative ideas spilling out of the grooves of this fine album that one can overlook the chef topping a masterpiece of a meal with a little Velveeta.
Although Lawrence seems like a one-man Paul McCartney or Emitt Rhodes, he did have some help: Members of the esteemed atmospheric San Francisco band American Music Club played on Swirl.
If you're curious, go to www.myspace.com/marklawrencesongs. (And thanks to Chris Harrelson, a friend and one-time bandmate of Lawrence, who's been playing me mixes of this album for months.)
It's ironic that one of the more popular memes these days is that music sucks. We live in a time where there's an embarrassment of riches, where the tools and technologies to make first-rate recordings have been placed into the hands of the average person, where the result of having the entire history of recorded music at our fingertips is beginning to bear fruit in the works of the people making that music.
The music isn't broken; the delivery system is. So while artists like Lawrence—and Knock Knock and Ricky Berger and name a dozen of your brilliant unrecognized favorites—toil in obscurity, the Entercoms and CBS Radios and Clear Channels of the world continue to rub rotting chili burgers in our faces while telling us that we're getting filet mignon.
We have corrections: I described the Onlymen as a trio last month; the band is a quartet, with Todd Weber contributing on guitar, vocals and songwriting. Ears regrets the gaffe.

Tomato juice producing
Description of a typical drinkable tomato juice processing operation made from fresh tomatoes.
Drinkable tomato juice is normally produced during the tomato season, when tomatoes have usually reached their prime; it shall be produced from selected tomato varieties having a solids content not less than 5°Brix. Some producers prefer not to blend different tomato varieties so as to obtain a juice with more homogeneous flavour.
Production technology is basically the same used in the production of tomato paste and/or "passata" (obviously with exclusion of the concentration phase), i.e. washing, sorting, chopping, hot break pre-heating and juice extraction. Special attention has to be paid to the screen meshes of the juice extractor: the standard size is 0.4 mm, while in the U.K. it can even be 0.3 mm.
Tomato juice is normally packed directly into the final container; however, it could also be stored into 20/50 m3 aseptic tanks or into 1000 L aseptic bags and be re-processed later on according to market demand.
Tomato juice can also be obtained from aseptic tomato paste (particularly for northern European countries); in both cases the preparation processes before filling into final containers shall be as follows:
preparation of the final recipe in a suitable tank by adding all the necessary ingredients: salt, spices, aromas and other ingredients in line with the final market demand; the tanks shall be provided with suitable stirrers in order to assure adequate blending of all ingredients;
in case of production starting from tomato paste, filtered / dematerialized water shall also be added in order to reach the desired quantity of dry matter, homogenization at 150 / 200 bar shall also be provided but only for juice obtained from tomato paste in order to prevent serum separation. Juice obtained directly from fresh tomatoes does not need homogenization;

Trolley to a good time
Photos by Ollie the Trolley
There's something about being on a trolley that can take passengers back to another era when the pace was a little slower — a time before cell phones and emails. It's the rattle and hum, the feel of the wood seats, and the open air.
George Davis and Deb Skinner, owners of Ollie the Trolley in Omaha, have a true love for each other and their business. Davis and Skinner met at the Ozone during a Smooth Jazz Enthusiasts event. According to Davis, they met at the Autumn of their life. Skinner said, "God put us together. And now we get to work together at a business we love. When you first set foot on that trolley something magical happens. We sell fun, memories and traditions."
Eight years ago, Davis and Skinner were looking for a transportation business to purchase together. Davis has a transportation background that included a Presidential appointee in the George H. Bush Administration at the Federal Department of Transportation. He also spent time with the Union Pacific Railroad learning railroading and trucking. Skinner has a marketing and tourism background. She previously worked as a Tourism Marketing Consultant for the State of Wisconsin and worked at the Omaha Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Ollie the Trolley is known for weddings and special event private tours. The business books about 350 weddings a year. Many families come back year after year for the tours and request drivers or certain trolleys. All the trolleys are a little different with a unique name for each — Ollie, Polly, LuLu, Guacamollie, Pumpkin, Porkchop, Buttercup, and Trolley Brown.
Aside from the private tours, the business also accommodates public tours where customers can purchase a ticket to join a group for holiday lights tours, haunted cemetery tours, or a new Wild West themed tour to highlight some of the Wild West history in Omaha. There are also food related tours such as the Bloody Mary Tours, Taco Tequila Tuesdays, and the Beer, Bourbon & Barbeque tour.
On the Taco Tequila Tuesdays, the tour starts off at the GI Forum for margaritas and famous tacos. Then, the tour heads to Howard's for more tacos and margaritas and finishes off at Lula B's. The tacos at Lula B's are made with family recipes of Chef/Owner Joe Becerra. They are made with pork, chicken, or beef, topped with fresh cilantro and raw onion and served on corn tortillas, which are made in house by the Chef's wife, Maria. The margaritas at Lula B's are served on taps along with several other homemade, batched cocktails.
The Bloody Mary tour begins at the Report In Pub, winner of Best of Omaha's Best Bloody Mary in Omaha. This famous drink has a fried pickle, two chicken wings, onion rings, and a quarter-pound cheeseburger, in addition to the normal Bloody Mary garnishes. At the Report In Pub, guests also feast on a hearty buffet with eggs, hash browns, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and waffles. Then, the group travels to Lula B's for a second Bloody Mary, and the final stop of the Bloody Mary tour is the Green Onion Lounge.
The Beer, Barbeque & Bourbon tour will be making stops at Nebraska Brewing for Beer & BBQ. Then, the tour heads to Beyond Golf, where passengers have the option to sample craft beers. The group finishes at Soldier Valley Spirits at Patriarch Distillers for a flight of All American Vodka, Whiskey and Bourbon.
Davis said what he loves most about his job is that they are "creating fun memories that will last a lifetime." Skinner added, "Life is so short. It can get really serious. If you can just pull yourself out of that seriousness and have a good time, then that is our goal."

In an earlier article, we announced the reuniting of Langham Court Theatre's Pride and Prejudice actors Ellen Law and Ian Simms for Winnie the Pooh and Tales of 100 Acre Wood. Today, production company Outpost 31 announced a new cast member Melissa Taylor. She is an actor, writer and director. She created Bereavement (produced by the University of Victoria's Student Alternative Theatre Company in 2011) and The Oldest Trick in the Book (as part of Theatre SKAM's SKAMpede in 2015).
Her one-act play Macramé will be performed next month (August 4 and 5) at Intrepid Theatre. Taylor has garnered critical praise for her portrayal of Mia in the Victoria Theatre Guild's edgy production of Polly Stenham's That Face. Times Colonist newspaper's resident critic Adrian Chamberlain wrote, "[Taylor] captured the truth of her character, Mia, in a tremendously convincing manner. It was a skilled performance."
She will be juggling the roles of bouncing Tigger and the respected Owl.
Writer David Elendune and director Ian Case (from last year's show Ian Fleming's Casino Royale) have pulled A. A. Milne's creations straight from the pages of his stories and onto the stage for this production of the 2016 Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival. Elendune's adaptation will see Christopher Robin, Pooh, Owl and Tigger against the backdrop of the London blitz during World War II (WWII). The last time a Victoria Fringe Play used Milne's characters in a WWII setting was over 20 years ago. That drama saw Pooh and Piglet coming to terms as Christopher Robin experiences first hand the harsh realities of war as an officer in the British army.
Winnie the Pooh and Tales of 100 Acre Wood will be at Venue 2 – Downtown Activity Centre, 755 Pandora between August 25-September 4, 2016. This is an all-ages show and is part of the 2016 Victoria Fringe Festival.
The scheduled shows are as follows:
Thur Aug 25 – 8:00pm
Sat Aug 27 – 1:45pm
Sun Aug 28 – 6:30pm
Wed Aug 31 – 9:45pm
Sat Sept 3 – 6:45pm
Sun Sept 4 – 4:45pm
Tickets will go on sale July 29, 2016 and will be available at the Victoria Fringe Festival box office or Ticket Rocket at http://www.ticketrocket.co/event/details/89336/victoria-fringe-winnie-the-pooh-tales-of-100-acre-wood.
Visit Winnie the Pooh and Tales of 100 Acre Wood's official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Outpost31Victoria/
Macramé stars Rachel Myers, Kieran Dunch and is directed by Heather Jarvie-Laidlaw. Performances will be held August 4 and 5 at the Intrepid Theatre Club, #2-1609 Blanshard St., Victoria, British Columbia. Tickets are available for pruchase through Ticket Rocket at http://www.ticketrocket.co/event/details/89089/macram%C3%A9.

Our ongoing series Apartment Living 101 is aimed at helping New Yorkers navigate the challenges of creating a happy home in the big city. Previously, 6sqft rounded up a list of 10 nearly indestructible plants that are ideal for apartment dwellers with black thumbs. Now, we're taking a look at plants that are powerhouses when it comes to cleaning indoor air.
Outdoor air quality is a concern for all, but few of us consider the airborne pollutants that have infiltrated our homes. Toxins from carpet, paint, upholstery and cleaning products are just a handful of modern-day products that can degrade indoor air quality, and studies have shown too much exposure to these manmade elements can cause lung and respiratory issues over the long run. Luckily, there are a number of houseplants that moonlight as efficient purifiers. Ahead you'll find 15 of the best air-purifying plants suited for apartment living, according to Dr. B.C. Wolverton, a scientist who worked with NASA to develop a breathable environment for long-term lunar habitation.

Serena Williams, Tennis News, US Open Tennis, WTA Tennis Players
Serena Williams insists injury played no part in US Open semi-final defeat, saying: 'I made lots of errors'
Serena Williams says injury is not responsible for her US Open semi-final defeat to Victoria Azarenka despite needing a medical time out.
Williams appeared to over-stretch during the third set before asking the physio to immediately put heavy strapping on the ankle area.
At that point, the set was going on serve and, with the scores at deuce, she was unable to loosen up the injury quickly enough to prevent Azarenka earning the crucial break of the match.
However, Serena insists it played absolutely no part in the result.
"It wasn't much," Serena Williams explained. "I just was stretching. Like, I ran for a shot.
"Off that first step that I took, it was a long point – it wasn't my ankle, it was actually my Achilles.
"It just overstretched. It was pretty intense. Then that was that.
"I mean, it feels fine. I don't think it had anything to do. I think Victoria played well. It didn't affect my play ultimately at all, just for that one point."
Williams made a blistering start to the match but was slowly reigned back in by a resurgent Azarenka, and the American could deny that ultimately the best player won.
"I just think I made more errors. I made a lot more errors. I didn't win a lot on my second serves, apparently.
"I wasn't serving. I mean, I served well, but I didn't dominate the way I needed to in that.
"I made some really key mistakes on some returns in the second set that I probably should have done better.
"I mean, you know, I don't know. That's what I would say what happened.
"I think she started playing really, really well. Like, she just started getting balls that she normally doesn't get back, she got those back.
"She started hitting shots that she normally doesn't make, she made those. She just really stepped her level up."

Q: Understanding how to approach styling in React I'm a newbie learning React. As the next phase of my learning, I need to learn how to style React. From previous experience, the steps I need to take to style my React app are:

*

*Add Reset CSS

*Implement a Grid System

*Implement common styles for items like (buttons, headers)

*Implement specific styles per component

Within the React world it's challenging to find a good jumping off point to tackle the above, so I'd love some advise to point me in the right direction.
Is styled-components most popular thing to do in the React world at the moment for all the 4 items listed above? If not, what do you recommend I start learning to handle the items mentioned above.

A: If you are starting with React, I'd not go with something deep like styled-components without first understanding the problem styled-components is trying to fix.
Your first approach should be as basic as just add one or more <link>s to your .css files (e.g. reset.css, grid.css, component selectors in it etc.) and use the proper classNames props in your components:
// main.css
body {
  // ...
}

// MyToolbar.css
.MyToolbar {
  // style for a MyToolbar react component
}

in your html:
<html>
    <head>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css">
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="grid.css">
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="MyToolbar.css">

As your app grows, you will find hard to maintain this <head>, so you would benefit from a more modular approach.
For example, your next step may be to import your CSS from javascript instead of using <link> in your header:
// App Component
import React from 'react';

// import globally used styles
import './styles/reset.css';
import './styles/main.css';

export default class App extends React.Component {
// snip
}

To import CSS files in JavaScript, you need to use a module bundler like webpack to handle those imports statements. Start reading here: https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-management/#loading-css. Doing this way you won't need to manually  the CSS files in <head>.
In fact, you will be able to import your CSS from your components:
// MyToolbar.js component
import React from 'react';
import './styles/MyToolbar.css';

export default class MyToolbar extends React.Component {
   render() {
      // render your component here
   }
}

Once your app grows, you may want to experiment with other solutions, e.g. styled-components.

Three Last First Dates Excerpt
MY NAME IS MARISSA Jones, and I'm totally committed to not being committed.
There, I said it. It was out there.
In fact, I had a long and impressive history of avoiding commitment. I was the Commitment Phobia Queen, if you will. I was good at it, really good. If you looked "commitmentphobe" up in a dictionary, I wouldn't have been at all surprised if you'd have found a photo of me, running away from some bewildered-looking guy as quickly as my feet could carry me.
That was why, when it came to dating, I was fussier than an OCD patient off their meds. And why not? A girl had to have standards, right? I never expected to "settle" for someone, and nor did I want to. No way. No one but Mr. Absolutely Right would do for me.
Only problem was, I was having a hard time finding him.
That's why I agreed to a pact with my best friends to marry the next guy I dated. Which in hindsight, for a commitmentphobe like me, was an off-the-charts crazy thing to do. Certifiable. I had really only agreed to the pact because I was sick of dating—that and the large amount of chardonnay I had imbibed that evening.
To be perfectly honest, I hadn't really taken it all that seriously at the time.
And then "the thing" happened and I knew I had to find him, I had to find The One. There was simply no more time to waste.
But, instead of going on a regular old date with some random guy, I decided to go on three dates in one day. I liked the math: one of me, three of them. It more than worked in my favor.
Not only that, I had thoroughly vetted each of the three guys before I even threw on my outfit for the first date. If this was going to work—and I really, really wanted it to—I needed to go in with my eyes wide open.
"I still can't believe you're doing this," Paige said, shaking her head and smiling at me over our cups of coffee, what was left of our slices of cake in crumbs on our plates. "Three dates in one day? You're brave."
"Why not? You and Cassie put all your eggs in one basket, and I don't want to do that. I mean, I know you ended up with the right guys in the end, but they weren't the men you went on your Last First Dates with, right?" They nodded. "Well, I figured going out with three different guys has to improve the odds."
"You're right about that." Paige nodded, her eyebrows raised. "Can you give us the lowdown on who these guys are? We need all the details, right, Cassie?"
"Oh, yes. Especially how good they look with their shirts off," Cassie added with a wicked grin.
"Well, I'm hardly going to find that out on a first date, but"—I raised my hand in the Girl Guides' salute—"I do solemnly swear to report all important details to you as they transpire."

Inspirato é o décimo sétimo álbum de estúdio do tecladista greco-estadunidense Yanni, lançado em março de 2014 na América do Sul e na Inglaterra, e a ser lançado no mês seguinte na América do Norte e Europa. O álbum traz regravações de músicas de toda a carreira do músico com a participação de vocalistas, mesmo no caso de canções que foram originalmente lançadas como trabalhos instrumentais. Os cantores foram selecionados por ele e por Plácido Domingo, que co-produziu o álbum.

Produção e repertório
As faixas do álbum são faixas retiradas de discos anteriores de Yanni, mas desta vez com letras cantadas por cantores com experiência no mundo da ópera. A maior parte das canções ganharam letras em italiano. O álbum foi considerado uma mudança radical na carreira do tecladista, por conta das letras e dos elementos clássicos. Apesar disso, Yanni enfatizou que não era um álbum de ópera.

Yanni colaborou com o tenor Plácido Domingo e o produtor Ric Wake para decidir quais cantores cantariam quais faixas.Em parte por conta da agenda concorrida dos vocalistas convidados, o projeto teria levado quatro anos para ser finalizado.

Faixas

Recepção
Inspirato chegou ao topo da Billboard's Top New Age Album em 2014 e 2015, e foi o 11º álbum mais vendido de New Age da Billboardem 2014.

Em março de 2015, Inspirato recebeu o prêmio de Melhor Álbum do Ano da Reviews New Age (Espanha).

Q: Ordered pairs in NBG set theory I'm reading a set theory textbook by Pinter, and this book follows the spirit of NBG set theory and talks about sets and (proper) classes in a very early stage. This is quite satisfactory because the book can (and does) talk about 'functions' whose domains are classes, and 'partially ordered classes' and so on.
But the problem is, when Pinter defines functions, he goes on like

A function is a triple of objects $<f,A,B>$ such that...

and similarly, he also says

By a partially ordered class we mean a pair of objects $<A,G>$, where...

without defining what 'a triple of objects' and 'a pair of objects' is.
Of course, this is not a 'serious' defect, but as a set theory book, this is not quite satisfactory. He had given the Karatowski definition of an ordered pair early on,

$(a,b):=\{\{a\},\{a,b\}\}$

but it is clear that this does not make sense when $a,b$ are proper classes. For similar reasons, defining a triple of objects as $((a,b),c)$ would not work.
Is there a way to explain all this in a satisfactory manner?
P.S. This reminds of the situation I had faced when learning category theory for the first time. Almost every algebra or algebraic topology books define category by saying "a category consists of following three data..." without explaining what 'data' really is. Of course this is also not a serious defect when learning, say, algebraic topology, but I would like to resolve the curiosity that I've always had.

A: Any reasonable coding mechanism suffices. If $X$ and $Y$ are proper classes, you might define the ordered pair $(X, Y)$ as $X \times \{0\} \cup Y \times \{1\}.$ In fact you could code a transfinite sequence of proper classes $\langle X_{\alpha}: \alpha<\beta \rangle$ as $\bigcup X_{\alpha} \times \{\alpha\},$ where $\beta$ is an ordinal or $Ord.$ This kind of situation arises, for example, when iterating a proper class model by an ultrafilter. The coding scheme isn't usually specified since the specific encoding doesn't really matter.

A: There are several ways you can handle this, though so far as I know there isn't any particularly standard way to do it analogous to how Kuratowski ordered pairs are standard.  The basic idea is that you can encode a pair of classes using a single class.  For instance, given two classes $X$ and $Y$, you can form their disjoint union $X\times\{0\}\cup Y\times \{1\}$ (where $\times$ is defined as taking the class of Kuratowski ordered pairs, which is fine since we're only taking ordered pairs of sets).  Since the classes $X$ and $Y$ are definable from $X\times \{0\}\cup Y\times\{1\}$, it is adequate to represent the ordered pair $(X,Y)$.

A: There is a useful generalization of this: One can encode a class-valued function  as an object by flattening it to the relation $R_f$ given by
$$ y \in f(x) \Longleftrightarrow (x,y) \in R_f $$
So if you encode an ordered pair as a function $\{ 0, 1 \} \to \mathbf{Cls}$, this transposition into a relation gives the encoding described in the other posts.
This is maybe more appealing in a functional formulation. Any class may be viewed as a function $\mathbf{Set}\to \{ \text{true}, \text{false} \}$. Therefore, any function $f:S \to \mathbf{Cls}$ can be transposed into a function $g:S \times \mathbf{Set} \to \{ \text{true}, \text{false} \}$ given by
$$ g(x,y) = f(x)(y) $$

Culture is the heart, mind and soul of the organization–it's essence. The Culture Institute is a platform for visualizing that culture, and understanding a team or organization–and Dr. Simon Sagmeister is the guy behind all of it. When we first met Simon he was working on the proposal for his book, and needed pretty much everything for his new endeavor.
Together we developed the name and identity system, and built a toolkit of patterns, diagrams, and animations–all inline with the strategy and brand guidelines we created. Information and complex concepts are presented clearly and often with supporting visuals. Color is used sparingly, but always intentionally and systematically. Not surprisingly, a year later Simon is working with Fortune 500 companies across the globe, and has offices in Zurich and New York City. Not bad.

Mining the diaries, memoirs and poems written by Catholics in the sixteenth-century Low Countries, this book explores how Catholics experienced religious and political change in the generations between Erasmus and Rubens. The general aim of the book is to demonstrate that by problematizing the relationship between clerics and laypeople, we can gain a better insight in the changing fortunes of the Catholic Church. The Revolt that ripped apart the sixteenth-century Netherlands came at the expense of a civil war, that eventually became a war of religion. This book revolves around two questions. The first concerns the passive way in which Catholics responded to Calvinist aggression in the early decades of the conflict; the second aim is to account for the very active support that laypeople in the Southern Netherlands, after 1585, began to show for a Catholic revival. The book argues that both phenomena can be explained by way in which the clergy interacted with the laity. Initially, clerics tried to contain the Reformation by presenting it as an internal problem, in which lay people should not become involved. This attitude changed around 1580. Traditional Christians began to radicalise and identify themselves as Catholics, while in Catholic exile centres, new relationships were forged between laypeople and clerics, who at last acknowledged the need to involve the laity. After 1585, priests and politicians in the Habsburg Netherlands devised a religious way for believers to 'do their bit' to end the war. In the process, this sealed the division of the Netherlands.

The shipping industry is one of the biggest industries in the world amount in trillions of dollars in mere international shipping. International shipping covers each and every piece of land on the globe via sea routes. International shipping bridges the gaps between continents through ships and sails the goods over the water. The first and foremost reason for businesses to prefer international shipping of their goods via sea rather than transporting them by air is that shipping is far more economical and safer as compared to sending a consignment via airmail.
Shipping internationally reduces the cost of shipping which further leads to a lesser price of the goods and helps in offering goods to ultimate consumers at a much cheaper cost. This indirectly influences and boosts up sales too!
The amount of trade between nations has always been on a rise ever since the humans were able to improve transportation and cut down on its costs. This has lead to a significant increase in the demand of international shipping over the last decade. The demand is ever growing and this can be well witnessed on any sea port. Shipping companies have already begun filling more and more no. of ships to their fleet. A no. of them have also started operating in new regions and expanded their area of operations. New routes have come up due to more and more companies getting in to the business. This has enabled and provided customers with options of shorter routes to reach their destination which not only saves them on the cost but also on time.
SHIPPING, co. and are two significant names which have been there in the industry for quite a while now. They are one of the biggest shipping companies too and employee millions of people worldwide. According to their report, the demand for international shipping is going to increase by more than 2.5 times in next two decades. This will be due to the increase in technology and methods of production which will lead to higher production and hence boost the demand for shipping. The spokesperson of the company further stated that logistical problems with shipping internaltionally have always been there ever since. The major problems are related to scheduling a loading, packaging and assuring on time and safe delivery. The current scenario in the market requires more and more ships to be added to the fleet to fulfil and meet the demand of the industry. This also opens up the horizon for ship building industry in the coming future.
If you think that the shipping industry is merely for the businesses then you are wrong. service reveals that they have been helping people remove, store and move their house goods to international destinations and loads of queries are received by them every day.
If you are looking to shift internationally then shipping is the best option for you too! One can imagine the cost of moving all your house furniture and goods via air. Well, don't even think about it. Chances are that you will have to finance your relocation. This is why shipping is the best option at such a stage. It is cheaper, convenient, safer and doesn't take much time too. Another good thing is that most shipping companies now days are offering house removals and relocation services whereby they are going to manage everything for you. From removing the goods from your house to storing them till the time they are scheduled to be loaded on a ship and packing them safely before loading, they are there to do everything for you.
You can get a quotation from a no. of shipping companies around you before finalizing the deal with one. They are going to visit your place for inspection of the goods. Chances are that they are going to measure of weigh the goods in order to evaluate and come to an estimate of the cost of shipping. Do inquire about their storage facilities and whether they are going to offer insurance coverage within the quotation they offer or will be charging it separately.
DO NOT forget to insure your house goods at any cost while shipping because such a loss is hard to recover. Shelling a few hundred dollars to ensure their safety is a better option in any scenario so make sure that you ship with a reliable provider.

The allegations about Donald Trump and Miss Teen USA contestants
Donald Trump campaigned in Green Bay, Wis., on Oct. 17, 2016, days after various allegations were made against him involving contact with women. (Michael Sears photo)
By Tom Kertscher October 18, 2016
As waves of allegations of Donald Trump's inappropriate behavior toward females swept over the presidential campaign, reaction from around the country was swift.
During an Oct. 12, 2016, meeting with the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., commented on one of the latest revelations, saying:
"I was just reading on the way over here this morning on how Trump would walk into the (Miss) Teen USA dressing room, all these 15- and 16-year-olds completely naked, just walk right in on them. Man, is that the image we want of the president of the United States? It's just disturbing to think that he could get away with all this stuff."
So, did Trump "walk right in on" naked 15- and 16-year-old contestants in their dressing room?
The implication is that the alleged incident, back when the Republican nominee owned the pageant, wasn't a mistake.
We're not going to rate this on our Truth-O-Meter, since some of the key sources are anonymous. But we'll lay out what we do know about the allegation.
Several hours before Kind made his statement, BuzzFeed reported the allegations from four former contestants (and later, a fifth).
The story began by stating:
Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants — some as young as 15 — were changing.
"I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, 'Oh my god, there's a man in here,' " said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.
Trump, she recalled, said something like, "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before."
Three other women, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of getting engulfed in a media firestorm, also remembered Trump entering the dressing room while girls were changing. Two of them said the girls rushed to cover their bodies, with one calling it "shocking" and "creepy." The third said she was clothed and introduced herself to Trump.
The story also reported:
Of the 11 (contestants) who said they don't remember Trump coming into the changing room, some said it was possible that it happened while they weren't in the room or that they didn't notice. But most were dubious or dismissed the possibility out of hand.
Allison Bowman, former Miss Wisconsin Teen USA, cast doubt on whether it happened. "These were teenage girls," Bowman said. "If anything inappropriate had gone on, the gossip would have flown."
But there was also this:
Billado said she told Ivanka Trump (Trump's daughter), about Donald Trump entering the room while the girls were changing their clothes. Billado remembers Ivanka answering, "Yeah, he does that."
Trump's words
Three days before Kind made his statement, CNN reported on comments Trump has made about women to radio talk show host Howard Stern over the years. In a 2005 interview, Trump talked about walking in on naked contestants -- but that was in response to a discussion about the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, whose contestants are adults. Trump said:
Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting, I want to make sure that everything is good.
You know, the dresses. 'Is everyone okay?' You know, they're standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody okay?' And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good.
Trump's campaign didn't respond to our requests for this item, but his campaign did issue this statement in response to the BuzzFeed story:
"These accusations have no merit and have already been disproven by many other individuals who were present. When you see questionable attacks like this magically put out there in the final month of a presidential campaign, you have to ask yourself what the political motivations are and why the media is pushing it."
There is not evidence, however, that the accusations have been disproved -- only that some of the contestants said they were not aware of the alleged incident, and some believed it could not have happened.
Kind says Trump "would walk right in on" naked Teen Miss USA contestants in their dressing room.
Four contestants in the 1997 pageant told BuzzFeed that Trump walked in on them and other contestants while they were changing clothes and made no attempt to leave. Three of them, however, were quoted anonymously.
Trump's campaign has denied the allegations. But it has not provided evidence to back its own claim that the accusations were disproved.
Given the situation, we're not rating Kind's statement on the Truth-O-Meter.

In 72 career games, Bob Thompson, BC '03, tallied 14 goals, 20 assists, and 48 total points, solidifying himself as one of the most prolific players to ever wear a Boston College men's soccer uniform. In fact, as far as the Eagles' record book is concerned, the Framingham, Mass. native still ranks tied for 15th in goals, sixth in assists, and 12th in points. Fifteen years post-graduation and five removed from serving as one of head coach Ed Kelly's assistants, Thompson is leaving Massachusetts Lowell and returning to the Heights—this time as the program's associate head coach.
Kelly, who is one of Thompson's lifelong mentors, announced the hiring on Friday morning, confirming the player-coach reunion.
While at BC, the midfielder not only climbed team leaderboards, but he also played a major role in the Eagles' first-ever trip to the NCAA Quarterfinals. As a senior, he logged 10 assists—the second-most in BC single-season history—and helped guide the Eagles to a program-best 18 wins, en route to the Elite Eight, earning All Big East First Team honors along the way. The 2002 campaign wasn't much of a fluke. Over the course of Thompson's four-year career, the Eagles won two Big East Tournaments and made two NCAA Tournament appearances.
Following graduation, the collegiate standout made the jump to the next level. Thompson played three seasons of professional soccer, including two with the MLS's New England Revolution (2004-05). Eventually, he stepped away from the game—well, not entirely.
Thompson took up coaching in 2008 when he was hired by Northeastern as an assistant coach. After working in the Colonial Athletic Association for a couple of years, he moved to Tufts, where he served as both an assistant coach and the team's recruiting coordinator. During his brief two-year stint, the Jumbos did a complete 180. The year before he joined the team, Tufts posted a putrid 2-10-2 record. By the time he left, the team was fresh off a 9-3-2 season and just a few years away from winning the Division III NCAA National Championship.
In 2012, Thompson made his first return to Chestnut Hill, assuming the positions of assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Along with Kelly, he was integral in persuading players like Zeiko Lewis—who went on to notch the sixth-most points in school history—to commit to BC. Thompson's success at his alma mater led to him receiving an assistant coaching job at neighboring UMass Lowell.
Working with a program that had recently transitioned to Division One, he teamed up with head coach Christian Figueroa to turn a mid-low tier squad into one of the more respected non-Power Five teams in the country. Everything clicked in 2016 when the River Hawks captured the American East regular season title with a 13-2-1 (5-1-1 America East) record. The program's best-ever mark didn't go unnoticed. To cap off what was a memorable campaign, Thompson and the rest of the UMass Lowell coaches were honored as the American East Coaching Staff of the Year.
Thompson was promoted to associate head coach in his final year with the River Hawks before taking on the same role at BC. He continues to ascend in the coaching ranks, all while finding his way back home.
"I look forward to the opportunity to help lead the men's soccer program to a bright future, and my wife and I look forward to serving the Boston College community," Thompson said.

Кардо́н — село в Тарбагатайском районе Бурятии. Входит в сельское поселение «Шалутское».

География
Расположено на правом берегу Селенги у железнодорожного моста южной линии Улан-Удэ — Наушки Восточно-Сибирской железной дороги. Ближайшая ж/д станция — Шалуты — в 2 км к северо-востоку от села. Здесь же, севернее станции — центр сельского поселения село Солонцы.

В трёхстах метрах от юго-восточной окраины Кардона проходит федеральная автомагистраль  «Байкал», по которой в 14 км южнее находится районный центр — село Тарбагатай.

История
В местности, где находится нынешнее село, в XIX веке существовал пересыльный пункт для перевода арестантов, имевший название Кордон. К началу XX века здесь была заимка Луг тарбагатайских крестьян Гордеевых. В начале 1920-х годов сюда, на правый берег Селенги, стали переселяться семейские из Тарбагатая, Десятникова, Бурнашева и других сёл. В 1930-х годах через село прошла железнодорожная линия Улан-Удэ — Наушки и близ Кардона был построен мост через Селенгу. Ввиду отчуждения земель под строительство железной дороги, часть жителей села была переселена в Куналейский посёлок (ныне Солонцы).

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) Shane Larkin scored 25 points and No. 14 Miami took command with a 13-2 second-half run Wednesday night, beating Virginia Tech 73-64 for its eighth consecutive victory.
Kenny Kadji added 18 points and Trey McKinney-Jones had 12 for the Hurricanes (16-3, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who trailed by 12 in the first half before getting a 22-6 burst spanning halftime.
National scoring leader Erick Green led the Hokies (11-9, 2-5) with 30 points and Jarell Eddie had 14, but Virginia Tech's other scorers struggled after a fast start. The loss was the seventh in the last nine games for Virginia Tech.
Trailing by 12, however, Larkin led Miami back into it with 11 points in the big run spanning the halves, and the Hurricanes took a 38-34 lead with 16:43 left. The Hokies seemed on the brink of getting run out of their own building, but Green hit three 3-pointers in a span of under 2 minutes and Virginia Tech led again, 43-41.
Just as Cassell Coliseum whipped into a roaring frenzy, McKinney-Jones hit a long 3-pointer, and Larkin and Rion Brown followed with 3s after a bucket by Cadarian Raines for the Hokies. Two free throws by McKinney-Jones and a dunk by Kadji capped the 13-2 run and the Hokies were again playing catch-up.
They got within 60-53 with two minutes left, but Larkin calmly dribbled the clock down then swished a long 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1:47 to play - his fifth 3 of the night. He finished 9-for-14 with three steals, three assists and two blocks.
Green and Brown each scored eight points during a 22-8 spurt that gave the Hokies a 28-16 lead with 5:57 left in the half, but a 3-pointer by Eddie and a free throw by Green was all Virginia Tech could manage the rest of the half.
Miami closed the first half with a 13-4 burst, including nine points from Larkin, to get within 32-29.

Q: Vuejs - setting the value of a textbox. (in laravel) I am trying to set the value of a textbox with vuejs
@{{ message }} works in the body or in a  tag.
this does not
<input type="text" name="column_name" v-model="reverseMessage" value="{{message}}">

Neither does.
   <input type="text" name="column_name" v-model="reverseMessage" value="@{{message}}">

A: The problem is that you are trying to bind input value multiple variables. Both to reverseMessage (using v-model) and to value (using interpolation).
Please remove value="{{message}}" and just set reverseMessage variable - this should update the input view.
<input type="text" name="column_name" v-model="reverseMessage"/>

and then
this.reverseMessage = "my new input value"

You cannot bind input to many variables in the template itself. Use watchers or computed properties if you really need this.
