Q: seg fault in c with pointers I have two fucntions that prompt the user to print ingredients names for pizza and print them out. But whenever I'm trying to print out the available ingredients, I get a seg fault.
And when I prompt to enter ingredients, if I say we have 3 available ingredients today, I can only type 2 in (as shown in the output picture)
    int get_ingredients(char** ingredients,int* num_ingredients) {
        char **ingredients_array = NULL; /*this is an array of pointers points to single ingredient in get_item*/
        int temp,i,j;
        ingredients = &ingredients_array; /*ingredients is a pointer points to the array of pointers*/
        temp = *num_ingredients;
        printf("How many available pizza ingredients do we have today? ");
        scanf("%d",&temp);
        ingredients_array = (char**)calloc(temp, sizeof(char*));
        i = 0;
        printf("Enter the ingredients one to a line: \n");
        while (i < temp){
            *(ingredients_array+i) = get_item();
            i++;
        }
        i = 0;
        printf("Available ingredients today are: \n");
        while(i < temp) {
            j = i+1;
            printf("%d",j);
            print(". ");
            printf("%s", **(ingredients_array+i));
            i++;
        }
        *num_ingredients = temp;
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
    char* get_item(){
        int i,a;
        char *each_ingredient= (char*)malloc(61*sizeof(char)); /*points to each input*/
        a = getchar();
        i = 0;
        while (a != EOF && (char)a != '\n'){
            *(each_ingredient+i)= (char)a;
            a = getchar();
            i++;
        }
        *(each_ingredient+i) = '\n';
        return each_ingredient;
    }

This is the output

A: There are many issues with your get_ingredients question.

*

*The first issue that I noticed is that you changed the pointer of the parameter ingredients, you changed it to the pointer get_ingredients which was set to NULL. So accessing the data from ingredients pointer from now on will get you a segmentation fault, for trying to access an illegal address.

int get_ingredients(char** ingredients,int* num_ingredients) {
        char **ingredients_array = NULL; /*this is an array of pointers points to single ingredient in get_item*/
        int temp,i,j;

        //ingredients pointer is lost forever and set to the address of the pointer of ingredients_array
        ingredients = &ingredients_array; /*ingredients is a pointer points to the array of pointers*/

*Now the second issue is more of an optimization thing. You set a variable, and then you changed it on the scanf, making the useless to set it to some value initially.

        //Temp is set to num_ingredients, but this is of no use,becuase this value is never used and is overwritten by scanf("%d",&temp);
        temp = *num_ingredients;

        printf("How many available pizza ingredients do we have today? ");
        scanf("%d",&temp);

*Should allocate pointer of a pointer to char.

ingredients_array = (char**)calloc(temp, sizeof(char*));

Changes
ingredients_array = (char**)calloc(temp, sizeof(char**));

*The while loops can be replaced with a for a loop. Which a more appropriate type of loop for this case.

        //This can write it better with a for loop
        i = 0;
        printf("Enter the ingredients one to a line: \n");
        while (i < temp){
            *(ingredients_array+i) = get_item();
            i++;
        }
        i = 0;

        printf("Available ingredients today are: \n");
        //Use for loop intead, because it more appropiate for this case
        while(i < temp) {
            //better to use i+1 instead of j, simply things
            j = i+1;
            //These two printf can be on the same line
            printf("%d",j);
            printf(". ");

            //Allocation error?
            printf("%s", **(ingredients_array+i));
            i++;
        }

Using a for loop instead, getting user input from standard function, and using less confusing indexing.
printf("Enter the ingredients one to a line: \n");
//Using for loop
for(int i = 0;i < temp;i++)
{
    char ptr[80]; //Store user input
    scanf("%s", ptr); //Get user input
    ingredients_array[i] = strdup(ptr); //strdup is to make a another string with the same contents
}

printf("Available ingredients today are: \n");
for(int i = 0; i < temp;i++)
{
    //These two printf can be on the same line
    printf("%d",i+1);
    print(". ");

    //Allocation error?
    printf("%s\n", ingredients_array[i]);
}

**num_ingredients lost its original pointer earlier, so this serves no use.

//This cannot be used because now points to ingredients_array and not to num_ingredients
*num_ingredients = temp;

Now the code with all those changes.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int get_ingredients(char** ingredients,int* num_ingredients) {
        char **ingredients_array = NULL; /*this is an array of pointers points to single ingredient in get_item*/
        int temp;

        printf("How many available pizza ingredients do we have today? ");
        scanf("%d",&temp);

        ingredients_array = (char**)calloc(temp, sizeof(char**));

        printf("Enter the ingredients one to a line: \n");
        //Using for loop
        for(int i = 0;i < temp;i++)
        {
            char ptr[80]; //Store user input
            scanf("%s", ptr); //Get user input
            ingredients_array[i] = strdup(ptr); //strdup is to make a another string with the same contents
        }

        printf("Available ingredients today are: \n");
        for(int i = 0; i < temp;i++)
        {
            printf("%d. ",i+1);
            printf("%s\n", ingredients_array[i]);
        }
        *num_ingredients = temp;

        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }

int main()
{
    char** ingredients;
    int a;
    int foo = get_ingredients(ingredients, &a);
    return 0;
}

Output
How many available pizza ingredients do we have today? 4

Enter the ingredients one to a line:

Available ingredients today are:
1. meat
2. MEAT
3. mEaT

Listen, count me as impressed as the next Celtics fan with Paul Pierce's performance Tuesday night. It was a game the Celtics had to have, they were injured and short handed. As Doc pointed out, they could win the game in only one way, and that was on the back of Paul Pierce.
The Truth delivered, he almost single handedly tied the series going back to Boston. I was happy, it was great. More than great, it was awesome. I love Paul Pierce and I wasn't surprised that he could do what he did. He showed that he's a winner, a leader and still one of the top players in this league.
What I was surprised about was the reaction afterward.
All of a sudden that Game 2 is being treated like it should be lifted into the rafters with the 17 banners. Bob Ryan wrote his article in the Globe about it, in which he said this:
When you play for the Boston Celtics, anything positive you do always bumps into history. Whatever you've just done, somebody is around to tell you that somebody else did it better in the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, or even four years ago.
Nor has this bunch won anything yet. What they do have is the knowledge that when the great, gutty, inspiring road playoff victories in Celtics history are annotated, what they did Tuesday night at Philips Arena will merit one of the top spots.
One of the top spots in Celtics history? Honestly? Don't get me wrong, I think it was one of Pierce's all time great performances. But one of the top spots in Celtics history? Have we forgotten about Pierce's 40 point shootout with LeBron James in the 2008 playoffs already? Rajon Rondo's triple-double in the 2010 playoffs that deflated LeBron James and the Cavaliers? And those are just from this incarnation of the Celtics...
Still, while it was a stretch by Ryan, it's not that big of a deal.
But now, the Boston Celtics are selling the shirt pictured above on their website. I mean, come on man...
I've said it several times in this post, I loved it, it was an awesome game but.... it was Game 2 not 7, it was Round one not four and it was against... not the star studded Miami Heat, not the historic rival Los Angeles Lakers, not the up and coming Oklahoma City Thunder, not the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, not even against the number 1 in the NBA San Antonio Spurs.
It was the Atlanta Hawks, who are 17-24 in the playoffs the last four years and have been swept twice.
The Celtics should've beat the Hawks, Rondo or no Rondo. Boston is a better team than Atlanta.
I have all the respect in the world for Pierce and his game deserves recognition, but people are taking things too far. We're two games in the post-season. As Pierce has said time and time again, the only thing this team cares about is raising that banner.
So, media, stop treating it like the Celtics already did.

Sports Safety for Administrators
League, Club, and School Administrators have a huge responsibility. It can be fun, but overwhelming. The current state of youth sports presents some significant challenges for administrators.
Preventable harm remains unacceptably frequent...
It can happen in an instant. Sports injuries are inevitable, regardless of your cautious attempts to prevent them. And suddenly, if you have no plan, no documentation, you've got a big mess on your hands.
Risk Management and Youth Sports Organizations
With so many responsibilities, sometimes medical safety gets put in the "it won't happen to us"or "we don't need that" category. Unfortunately, this has come back to bite organizations like US Soccer and Pop Warner Football.
"Both Pop Warner and USA Football fail to adequately ensure that their coaches were properly trained and educated on the topic of safety"
"Defendants failed to create and implement league-wide guidelines concerning the treatment and monitoring of players who suffer a brain injury during a practice or a game"
"executive director of Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc., conceded in a deposition that the national Pop Warner office does not check whether coaches in fact receive such [safety] training." (Ref)
Risk Management professional Diana Urbanchuk explains, "my responsibility is to help organizations identify risks and make informed decisions about proactively managing, avoiding and/or financing these risks. Sports organizations must seriously contemplate the following:
What could possibly happen to their athletes, third parties/spectators, or their staff?
What is the likelihood that each identified risk will occur?
What is the effect to the organization if a loss occurs? (financial, reputation, future viability, etc.)
What can reasonably be done to reduce severity, likelihood or impact of these risks?"
Read on ....
The Question of Liability
The article School Liability—Student Athlete Concussions in the U.S. "reviews the litigation landscape of concussions in student athletics and the latest claim and settlement activity."
"... plaintiffs' attorneys across the nation are aggressively pursuing school districts and coaches on behalf of concussed student athletes. The crux of the allegations in these lawsuits involve multiple concussions, returning to play and/or practice too soon, negligent supervision, lack of an emergency medical response plan, and inadequate immediate medical response"
The use of waivers "to release an organization from liability" is now being questioned as a defense. "... it is becoming more probable that a court will not uphold said waiver and the civil suit for damages will be permitted to proceed."
There are concussion laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. All these laws apply to school based sports and 24 of them also apply to non-school based leagues and clubs. However, none of these laws provides an implementable system which leaves the leagues and schools responsible for documenting, tracking, communicating the remove from play and return to play protocols and ultimately complying with these laws.
Attorney Alan Goldberger, a nationally recognized authority on sports officiating and sports law, educator, and multi-sport official says:
"On a national level or even on a statewide level, the people who govern sports can't really be assured that the people who are actually present and coaching, officiating or administrating the particular event will know what to do unless they have developed policies and protocols and mechanics that people who are involved might actually utilize."
"...people need to understand that pamphlets won't do it and laws are not a panacea that if you have a law that all of a sudden magically everything will be OK. Somebody has to know when to have the child taken out and evaluated or the whole thing breaks down."
"Changes in athlete attitudes on reporting concussive symptoms will likely not be accomplished through legislation alone." Am J Sports Med. 2014

DENVER – The search for evidence in the case of missing Woodland Park mom Kelsey Berreth now includes a landfill in the city of Fountain, ABC News has learned .
A spokeswoman for Midway Landfill confirmed to ABC News Wednesday that investigators are looking for more clues into Berreth's disappearance, whom authorities say was murdered by her fiancé .
"The Colorado Bureau of Investigation contacted Waste Management of Colorado regarding a potential search at Midway Landfill and we are cooperating fully," Waste Management spokeswoman Anne Spitza told ABC News.
Spitza would not comment on the timing of any search at the landfill or what investigators would be looking for, only saying all questions should be directed to the district attorney's office, ABC News reported Wednesday evening.
The search for Berreth, who was last seen on Thanksgiving Day , has led authorities to Twin Falls, Idaho, where a woman there is currently being investigated for possibly disposing of Berreth's cell phone.
According to charging documents obtained by Denver7, Patrick Frazee, Berreth's fiancé and the father of the couple's 1-year-old daughter, tried to find someone to kill Berreth three times between September and November of last year, causing her death on or around Thanksgiving.
When Frazee was arrested on Dec. 21, police said more arrests were possible, but so far, no arrests have been announced.
Officials have said the evidence suggests Berreth was killed at her home in Woodland Park, and that her cellphone was tracked to Gooding, Idaho, three days after Thanksgiving.

Mayor Two Faced On Immigrants
Following is my 350 word Letter to the Editor published February 21, 2017 by the Albuquerque Journal on page A-7:
Mayor two-faced on immigrants
Albuquerque Mayor Berry revealed his hypocrisy at his press conference to announce the creation of the city department the "Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs".
The office is intended to serve Albuquerque's immigrant and refugees community by acting as a point of contact with other agencies that serve them.
Berry said the new city department will help immigrants and refugees without regard to their legal immigration status and that it will help allay the fears of people in Albuquerque's immigrant and refugee community.
Berry said "There has always been rhetoric from the left and right regarding immigration … But I do not think it has ever been ramped up to the level we've seen most recently". Sure it has and it was done by none other than candidate Richard Berry.
Berry used the issue of "sanctuary city" in 2009 to get elected the first time with his supporters driving a vehicle around the city with a billboard mounted on it condemning then Mayor Marty Chavez making Albuquerque a "sanctuary city" for immigrants.
After elected, Mayor Berry declared that Albuquerque was no longer a sanctuary city.
In 2010, Berry ordered the implementation of a policy that screened every person who is arrested, no matter the offense, such as misdemeanor DWI, shoplifting, drug possession, to see if the person is in the country legally.
By Berry's orders, US Immigration and Customs agents (ICE) were allowed into city jail holding facilities to screen virtually all people arrested and brought in by APD and determine their immigration status.
In 2010, Berry said, "If convicted, they will serve their sentence and could be deported. I'm not looking at this as an immigration issue, but more as a public safety issue," said Berry thereby endorsing deportation of people no matter the offense and no matter their guilt or innocence of people arrested and taken into custody by APD.
Albuquerque City Councilors introduced a measure to reaffirm a 16 year old resolution making Albuquerque an Immigrant friendly community.
I wonder if Berry will have a press conference to sign it if it passes or to veto it?

Licensing Mississippi's Teachers: A Shift in Control?
State Superintendent of Education Dr. Carey Wright says she felt licensing should stay in the hands of the Mississippi Department of Education. Photo by Imani Khayyam.
By Sierra Mannie Wednesday, December 21, 2016 6 a.m. CST
JACKSON — Mississippi leaders may establish a new agency to ensure the quality of teachers and the programs that train them.
The idea came from a task force of education leaders and stakeholders, which Gov. Phil Bryant appointed this year to look at how prepared teachers are for early literacy instruction. One of the recommendations in the task force's 71-page report suggests creating an independent board for the state's teachers that not only issues licenses but also vets the state's educator preparation programs, or EPPs—a responsibility the Mississippi Department of Education's Office of Education Licensure currently handles.
The task force's recommendations come on the heels of a January report released by the Barksdale Reading Institute, which said teachers generally lack knowledge of best practices in literacy at a time when the State is increasingly focused on making sure students are reading at grade level. The report revealed that not all teacher training programs in Mississippi are built the same when it comes to reading instruction—which might negatively affect student achievement.
"Generally, there is awareness among (teacher) candidates of the importance of applying scientific research to the teaching of reading," the authors of the report wrote. "But they have little knowledge about the research or how to apply the research to instruction."
This year, the advancement of third-grade literacy has topped priority lists for education leaders and stakeholders in Mississippi. Most recently, the State established an arm of the National Campaign for Grade-Level Reading to increase access to resources for communities to help young students be better readers.
This move complements the State's 2013 Literacy-Based Promotion Act, which developed a "reading gate" for third graders before their schools could promote them to the fourth grade. Amid criticism that the test's low standards could not accurately assess fourth-grade readiness, legislators amended the law this year to raise the bar even higher. Now, students must perform two levels above the lowest "passing" score to be promoted to fourth grade. Last year, 85.2 percent of children passed initially; after retests, 92.4 percent of all students passed.
An Independent Board
The recommendation for an independent board in Mississippi came after results in 13 other states, eight of which are top-ranked in 2015 NAEP scores for 4th grade reading.
"In considering possible ways to improve teacher quality, and thus student achievement, examining how these independent boards contribute to higher standards and efficiency seems warranted," the task force report reads.
Dr. David Rock, dean of the school of education at the University of Mississippi and a member of the subcommittee of task-force members who made the new agency recommendation, says the point is to create a system of consistent standards for all 15 of the state's teacher preparation programs, which he says are not all governed by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning board.
Whereas the National Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation now requires national accreditation for all IHL state institutions after transitioning from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, it is not a requirement for private institutions. (NCATE programs will transition to NCAEP accreditation in their next review cycles.)
Teacher prep at Millsaps College, for instance, is CAEP-accredited; the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accredits Blue Mountain College, a private Baptist university in Tupelo. So although teacher preparation is a factor in the new agency recommendation, an "annual, multi-year" review of programs is also critical to make sure they are up-to-par with state standards. "The MDE teacher licensing area actually governs licensure so that a person who does complete a degree can actually get a license to teach. If you're a private institution, IHL doesn't govern that. I don't know who would review their program each year," Rock told the Jackson Free Press.
"John Doe has to apply to MDE (for his license) based on certain criteria. While that is true, there also should be a process where every program is continually reviewed to ensure what they're offering in the program meets the standards for licensure. MDE expects when we say they graduate, they've met those requirements, but it doesn't mean anyone's reviewing that."
"We're not all living by the same standards," so it's not consistent," he said.
Separation of Ed and State
Though the Mississippi Department of Education and the Legislature, including Gov. Phil Bryant, have worked together in order to create recent education legislation, they have not always seen eye-to-eye. The failure of last year's Initiative 42, which would have forced the state Legislature to fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, created bitter divisions not only among lawmakers past and present, but also between the Legislature and education leaders.
This year, after initially deciding to honor the White House Title IX directives that provided protections for transgender students, MDE rescinded its support after letters from GOP lawmakers expressed their disapproval and their wish for State Superintendent Dr. Carey Wright to step down if her department did not change its stance.
Wright and State Board of Education Chairwoman Rosemary Aultman disagreed with the task-force recommendations in a letter to the task force, Rock and others.
"Under the authority of the Mississippi State Board of Education, the Mississippi Department of Education is responsible for educator licensure, educator ethics and review and oversight of all educator preparation programs," the letter says. "There is no need to establish a separate bureaucracy when the MDE already has the capacity, infrastructure and systems in place to effectively administer all of the work associated with educator preparation, licensure and ethics."
Wright echoed these sentiments to the Jackson Free Press.
"When we got the recommendation we said we would agree to disagree. I think (MDE) having control over everything that relates to education is really a good idea," she said.

The move ensures a hypothetical recount in the special Senate election will not be verified.
he Alabama Supreme Court stepped into Tuesday's U.S. Senate race between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones on Monday night by blocking a lower state court's ruling earlier in the day that ordered election officials to take steps to preserve digital images of every ballot cast Tuesday.
In effect, the Alabama Supreme Court's stay—or freezing—of an earlier court order to preserve the digital ballot images undermines the best-case scenario for ensuring that an accurate vote count can be verified in the controversial Senate race.
Alabama's Supreme Court, where Moore served as chief justice, did not issue an explanation with its stay. However, a lengthy brief filed at the close of business Monday by state attorneys on behalf of Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill contained a list of eyebrow-raising assertions, such as Merrill had no authority to tell local election officials how to operate their voting machines. The state also said only private vendors holding contracts to program the machines could do so—and that it was too late for that.
On Tuesday night, all eyes will be on Alabama to see who won the special election between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones. But with Alabama's opaque election process, we may never be certain that the results were accurate.
Alabama's Secretary of State John Merrill refuses to preserve the digital ballot records produced by the vote-tabulating machines. Election integrity activist John Brakey, co-founder and executive director of AUDIT-AZ, says this deprives citizens of a means to scrutinize election results for errors — and evidence of rigging. On this basis, he has been instrumental in bringing a lawsuit against Merrill.
This all comes ahead of a highly anticipated special election that could determine the fate of the GOP tax bill in the Senate.
An order by a Montgomery County judge means a recount, if needed, will be more credible.
An Alabama court ordered the state's election officials to preserve all digital ballot images of the paper ballots cast in Tuesday's high-profile special U.S. Senate election between Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore.
The temporary restraining order by Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Roman Ashley Shaul is a key step in verifying the vote in a controversial election, in case a vote count challenge or recount ensues.

My grandfather, Jim Chapman, was one of the most incredible people I have ever known. His enthusiasm and wisdom made hour-long conversations feel as if they lasted minutes. The happiness of others was his top priority. And his genuine love and care for his family and community were truly admirable.
There was something else about him, though, that makes me lucky to call him my grandfather.
Every Tuesday and Thursday he visited The Marquette Tribune's website and read not only my articles, but many of the others, too. Although he lived in Ohio, he used the Tribune to immerse himself within the Marquette community. He could speak about campus news almost as well as I could.
He would often give feedback on which stories he liked and how others could have been improved. Most days he would walk to the nearby deli and share Marquette and Milwaukee news with his grandpa friends.
At holiday gatherings he and I would discuss the direction in which journalism was heading, and I would bring print copies for him to read. There is even a framed copy of The Marquette Tribune's 2010 Wisconsin election issue hanging in his home.
My grandfather passed away last June, but he was one of The Marquette Tribune's biggest fans.
When news broke that the Tribune was facing page cuts, one of my first thoughts was: What would my grandpa say? He would have said not to take "no" for an answer, that print journalism is worth fighting for. And I agree.
University-wide budget cuts may be necessary, but that doesn't mean cutting the newspaper is part of the solution. Yes, it would help cut costs now, but it's important to consider the potential long-term costs that such a quick fix would mean.
Over the years, The Marquette Tribune and its staff have helped me develop as a writer, learn how to follow deadlines, look at a story from all angles, report objectively and edit. My experience has helped me improve time management skills, develop my work ethic and sharpen my mind to think openly and critically. The Trib has served as one of my many Marquette "families" and continues to provide incredible opportunities and relationships.
I'm the journalist I am today because of The Marquette Tribune – not because of my classes. And future Marquette journalism students will not gain the same skills and experiences I had if the print publication's pages are cut or placed entirely online.
When prospective students tour Johnston Hall, they don't ask about the J-Pad or the student media's online presence. Instead, they ask how to work for the student newspaper. They want to see and read the paper and add it to their collection of other college publications.
So what happens when all we have to show these prospective students is an ad-filled, eight-page paper that looks more like a tabloid? Or even worse – when we can't show them anything because the entire publication is online?
The quality of students in the program will decline, which in turn will hurt the college, decrease the applicant pool and result in even fewer people working for the publication whose page cuts began this never-ending cycle.
Goodbye, prospective students and tuition dollars. See you later, Milwaukee Press Club awards and Best All-Around Non Daily Student Newspaper.
Money is important, but simply slashing the paper in half will not help in the long run. There are other options, and the extreme support demonstrated over the past week from Tribune staffers, students and faculty across the university alumni, has proven that alternative options deserve to be examined.
Create and conduct a readership survey, decrease unnecessary circulation numbers or simply ask for our input first – there are a lot of us who would have no problem giving up salaries if it means the paper's length will remain the same.
The Tribune staff puts in a lot of late nights, phone calls and long hours on WordPress to make the newspaper what it is. Don't take away the physical product that showcases all the hard work.
If not for us, reconsider for the student body and entire Marquette community, surrounding Milwaukee area, alumni and those all the way in Dayton, Ohio, who read the paper each week.
Student, university and community news matters. Print journalism matters. And The Marquette Tribune matters. So for the sake of the past, present and future of this university's journalism program, please do not cut that importance in half.

Is your business name protected online?
Is your website safe from hackers?
Don't find out the hard way! We can show you how to protect your online business identity….
Or you could be one of the many who are in for a rude surprise when you see someone else using your business name on the internet or discover that your website has other people's content on it!
It's a sad fact that far too many businesses have discovered to their cost that their online identity has been "Adopted" by another business or person. How does this happen? It's simple, under the rules of registration for a domain name (the name that is used by a business/person for their website) you do not have to prove that you have the legal right to use a name. If it's available (and you pay the registration fee) then it's yours! Even large corporations have made the mistake of not protecting their name online and then finding that they have to go through a long and expensive process to get it back – in some instances they have not been successful and have ended up having to register a name that is as close to their business name as possible.
The irony is that it costs so little to avoid this situation – for less than $200 you can not only protect your online identity but you can also start using your domain name as a legitimate email address!
We can do all of this for you in less than 48 hours.
There are also countless people who have had their website "Hacked" – sometimes with minor impacts such as swear words or religious comments inserted into the text, sometimes with disastrous results (like competitor information being displayed or, worse still, crimina l intent to redirect people to other websites). Just do a Google search under the phrase "Website hacked" and see for yourself!
You can protect yourself form hackers – and that's where we come in. We can make sure that your site is more secure. You wouldn't leave your business premises unlocked so don't leave your website unprotected!
Complete the form below and we'll send you our free report which explains the process in detail. It costs you nothing for this report and it could end up saving you thousands!
Do it now – fill in your details!!
How Safe Is Your Website?
Is your business name protected online? Is your website safe from hackers? Do you know???


Love this stuff. I have a friend with a Victorian(?) just north of Independence avenue that is haunted. Northland seems to have a lot of stories. Can't wait for more!
I'm from Northeast Kc. I lived on Sunrise Dr and Gladstone Blvd, and let me tell you, that I think that most of this neighborhood is Haunted!! I have a lot of stories about the house i grew up in but that is for another time. Moxie's not shittin about this neighborhood! Get a house there if you dare, it used to be a damn nice neighborhood, but time has taken it's toll.

Why is partnership a good form of ownership?

How many owners are in a partnership?

Can a partnership be a general partner?
How are owners in a partnership called?
What is the relationship of shareholders to the corporation?
What are the 4 main types of business ownership?
What is an example of ownership?
How does ownership in a company work?
You might also be thinking, Is a partnership in which all owners share in operating the business and in assuming liability for the business debts?
General partners and sole owners are both equally accountable for any debts and liabilities incurred by the firm under an unlimited liability corporation. The majority of businesses choose to create limited partnerships, in which a partner's responsibility is restricted to their participation in the business.
Similarly, What is a form of business that is owned and usually managed by one person?
A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP is the most frequent kind of company; it is owned and managed by one individual.
But then this question also arises, What type of business has two or more owners who share responsibilities of a company?
A partnership is a legally binding agreement between two or more persons to manage a company and share earnings and liabilities. All members of a general partnership corporation share both earnings and liabilities.
What is it called when a business is owned by two or more persons?
A general partnership is a firm that is held by two or more people who have agreed to operate it as partners or co-owners. 03.03.2020
Are there shares in a partnership?
Shareholders are corporate owners who acquire their stake in the firm by purchasing shares or stocks. In a partnership, the company is owned and managed by partners who each possess a share of the company, as specified in the Partnership Agreement.
A general partner is a partner in a partnership who is active in the business's operations and participates in the profits. A general partner is often a doctor, lawyer, or other professional who has joined a partnership to maintain their independence while being a part of a bigger organization.
Sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company (LLC), series LLC, and corporations, which may be taxed as C corporations or S corporations, are the most frequent types of business ownership. 05.12.2020
Each partner in a partnership has an equal stake in the company's success. The benefit of a partnership is that it may combine resources to get finance. This might be advantageous in terms of obtaining finance or just tripling your initial investment. Complementary abilities
By definition, a partnership firm is formed when two or more persons pool their resources to create a company and agree to share risks, profits, and losses. Law companies, medical groups, real estate investment firms, and accountancy firms are all instances of common partnership businesses. 15.01.2020
A partnership is comparable to a single proprietorship, with the exception that there are two or more owners. These proprietors are in charge of every part of the firm and get 100% of the earnings.
A business owner is the person in charge of the company's operational and financial elements. A business is any company that produces and sells things and services for profit, such as an ecommerce shop or a freelance writer. Businesses may be operated by one person or by a group. 15.09.2021
In terms of corporate administration, general partners have equal rights and obligations, and any one partner may bind the whole group to a legal obligation. Each individual partner is fully responsible for the debts and liabilities of the company. 22.07.2019
When two or more persons get together to manage a business, a partnership deed is a legal arrangement. This agreement outlines all of the important terms and circumstances of the company, such as profit/loss sharing, obligations, new partner/s admittance, established regulations, wages, and the departure procedure, among others. 15.12.2021
Because it is not a legal person with a distinct entity from its partners, a partnership firm cannot become a shareholder of a business. Partners may register as joint holders, and each of them will become a member. 24.07.2019
A partner is someone who contributes to the ownership and operation of a firm formed as a partnership in a certain state. A shareholder is a person who invests in a company. As a businessperson aiming to generate money, each function has its own set of perks and hazards. 26.09.2017
A general partnership is an example of a business partnership. Take, for example, Fred and Melissa's decision to operate a bakery. F&M Bakery is the name of the business. Fred and Melissa became general partners in the firm, F&M Bakery, by founding a shop together.
– A general joint venture. The most basic kind of partnership is a general partnership. – This is a limited partnership. Limited partnerships (LPs) are government-approved commercial entities. – A partnership with a limited liability. – A limited partnership with a limited responsibility.
A general partnership is one in which all partners participate equally in the earnings, management tasks, and debt obligation.
One or more general partners (including indirect partners) possess a portion of a partnership. 14.02.2022
As a shareholder, you have the ability to vote on the corporation's directors as well as whether the company should close or combine with another. However, ownership does not imply the right to govern the company; that authority is delegated to the directors, who in turn delegate it to officers chosen by the board.
Sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, and Limited Liability Company, or LLC, are the four primary forms of business entities. 02.11.2015
Definition of ownership The legal right to hold anything is known as ownership. Possessing a certain home and property is an illustration of ownership. Being an owner is a state or a reality. The whole set of rights that a person has to use and enjoy a property, to pass it on as an inheritance, or to sell it.
The majority of employee-owned businesses are corporations. In a stock company, the corporation distributes ownership rights to "shareholders" by issuing shares. The formal obligations of ownership are bestowed on a board of directors, and shareholders have limited rights and responsibilities. 08.02.2016
The "in addition to the articles of incorporation, a corporation has" is a partnership where all owners share in operating the business. The article of incorporation is an important part of any business.
a corporation is formally formed with:
a partnership has partners who do not share in operating the business.
a corporation is a legal with authority to act and have liability separate from its owners.
a partnership can spell out the requirements of terminating a partnership.
which is an advantage of the corporate form of business ownership?

Q: typescript declare third party modules How could I declare a third party module which looks like this:
in third party module:
module.exports = function foo(){
  // do somthing
}

in my code:
import * as foo from 'foo-module'; // Can not find a declaration module for ...
foo();

A: Check out the documentation on working with 3rd party modules.
How to write the declaration depends a lot on how the module was written and what it exports.
The example you've given is a CommonJS module (module.exports = ...) which is not really a valid ES6 module, because ES6 cannot export a function as the module (it can only export function members or a default function).
Update for TypeScript 2.7+
With the added esModuleInterop compiler option you no longer need to use the "namespace hack" shown below for CommonJS modules that have a non-ES6 compatible export.
First, make sure you've enabled esModuleInterop in your tsconfig.json (which is now included by default with tsc --init):
{
  "compilerOptions" {
    ...
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    ...
   }
}

Declare your foo-example in a .d.ts file like this:
declare module "foo-module" {
  function foo(): void;
  export = foo;
}

Now you can import it as a namespace like you wanted:
import * as foo from "foo-module";
foo();

Or as a default import:
import foo from "foo-module";
foo();

Older workaround
You can declare your foo-example in a .d.ts file like this:
declare module "foo-module" {
  function foo(): void;
  namespace foo { } // This is a hack to allow ES6 wildcard imports
  export = foo;
}

And import like you wanted:
import * as foo from "foo-module";
foo();

Or like this:
import foo = require("foo-module");
foo();

The documentation has a good resource on declaration files and some templates for various kinds of declaration files.

A: I had a similar problem. And struggled to add a type definition to my project. Finally, I was able to achieve it using the following steps.
This is some module (just with constants), lets call it some-module - node_modules/some-module/index.js.
'use strict';

exports.__esModule = true;
var APPS = exports.APPS = {
    ona: 'ona',
    tacq: 'tacq',
    inetAcq: 'inetAcq'
};

First I add to tsconfig.json baseUrl and typeRoots
{
  ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "baseUrl": "types",
    "typeRoots": ["types"]
  }
  ...
}

Second in my project root I create folder types with same folders structure for the module types/some-module/index.js and place the code:
declare module 'some-module' {
    type Apps =  {
        ona: string;
        tacq: string;
        inetAcq: string;
    };
    let APPS: Apps
}

Finally I can import it in my my-file.ts with typings!
import { APPS } from 'some-module';

Cancer Pavilion Plans Approved by New Brunswick Planning Board

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ – Plans to build the state's first free-standing cancer hospital - the centerpiece in a sweeping, $750 million project that will transform the Somerset Street health care corridor - has been approved by the city.
The Planning Board voted 7-0 Tuesday night to allow Cancer Pavilion Redevelopment Associates LLC, an affiliate of DEVCO, to proceed with its plan to construct the 11-story, 519,000 square foot Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey Cancer Pavilion.
The Cancer Pavilion will house inpatient and outpatient care, research facilities and administrative space.

The Cancer Pavilion application received preliminary site plan approval at November's meeting, where the condition of getting approval for another part of the project – the adjacent parking garage – was placed upon it.
The board voted 5-1 with one abstention Tuesday to approve the application by Hardenberg Street Redevelopment Associates LLC, also an affiliate of DEVCO, to build the 975-space parking garage with a central utility plant and a loading dock to serve the Cancer Pavilion.
The Cancer Pavilion will have 84 infusion bays and 74 exam rooms for outpatient care and 96 beds for inpatient care. It will also have a dedicated floor for surgical procedures.
When the plans to build the hospital were unveiled at a news conference in February 2020, Dr. Steven Libutti, the senior vice president of RWJ/Barnabus Health and director of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, said the pavilion will be "one of the top 10, if not top five, cancer programs in the country."
Under the plan, DEVCO plans to raze Lincoln Annex School and build the Cancer Pavilion in its place. The faded, beige-brick school, built in 1960, will be torn down and the hospital – designed with a handsome, red-bricked terracotta and glass façade – will be built at 165 Somerset Street.
TAPinto New Brunswick report Saturday that DEVCO had acquired the 1.67-acre tract where Lincoln Annex sits from the Board of Education. An escrow account with $55 million was set up for the Board of Education to build a replacement school on about 4.5 acres of vacant land at 50 Jersey Avenue.
Students will attend the Pathways Campus on Van Dyke Avenue until the new school is completed.
DEVCO President Chris Paladino said that it will take about three years to build the school.
Temporarily moving the students to the Pathways Campus was this part of the plan that drew the most criticism during Tuesday's meeting.
Planning Board member Bob Cartica voted to grant Cancer Pavilion Redevelopment Associates LLC final major site plan approval, but not before he said, "Some of you members are aware that I didn't support the proposed development at this site because of it would result in the relocation of the students from the Lincoln Annex School. Not that I have any issue with the Cancer Pavilion, I just don't feel the school should have been relocated, the students should be relocated, especially after the city had made some pretty costly improvements to the school. But, despite my objection, the board approved this at the March 2020 meeting by majority vote and we learned last night that the Board of Education has sold or approved the sale – not sure which – of the lot that supports the Lincoln Annex School.
"So, bottom line, no way to go back. That was then, this is now. Despite what I may think about this, I have to respect the guidance of our attorney (Aravind Aithal) in accordance with the municipal land-use laws."
Fellow board member John Petrolino also voted to approve the plan, but not before he said, "I will simply echo Bob's sentiments. I think that was well-stated, Bob. For the same reason, I am voting yes."
The Diocese of Metuchen sold St. Peter's school for $7.4 million in 2013. The city spent $22 million on repairs and it was renamed Lincoln Annex.
In March, the Planning Board voted 3-2 to adopt the Healthcare and Research Pavilion Redevelopment Plan. The plan is a skeletal outline that sets the parameters and limitations for development on the site. The plan was eventually approved by the City Council.
Petrolino was the only Planning Board member to vote no to the application by Hardenberg Street Redevelopment Associates LLC. Diana Lopez voted to abstain.
Although some members of the public who spoke at Tuesday's virtual meeting charged that the Lincoln Annex students would be sent to a "warehouse," there were no forklifts toting drums in sight when the district gave walking tours of the Pathways Campus during a P-TECH program ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Gov. Phil Murphy in September 2019.
The school was spacious, bright, clean, freshly painted and furnished with new desks, chairs and equipment.
In subsequent meetings on the matter, whether before the Board of Education, City Council or Planning Board, objectors have erroneously claimed that the Pathways Campus doesn't have windows, a cafeteria nor a lunchroom.

Tanka is a short poem of five lines in length, which engages the imagination. Good tanka suggests far more than it actually says. Strictly speaking there is a syllable count for each line: 5/7/5/7/7/ for a total of 31 syllables. That's because, in Japanese, tanka are usually written in 31 Japanese sound units.
This syllable count doesn't translate well into English. In English 20 syllables would be a rough equivalent for the 31 Japanese sound units. Very few poets writing tanka in English adhere to a strict syllable count. Much more important is the general structure of the lines: short/long/short/long/long. Some editors will not accept tanka that fail to adhere to this guideline. Others are more flexible. Atlas Poetica, for example, will consider almost any poem that is written in five lines. It is important, therefore, to read the submission guidelines.
Much more important than syllable count is what might be called the 'spirit' of tanka. You are trying to write something memorable in just five lines. Most poets have far more syllables, words and lines to work with. As in all poetry it is important to "show" rather than "tell" and to rely on the reader's imagination. A good tanka will suggest far more than it actually says.
Haiku is very concrete, yet suggestive at the same time. Good tanka is like that also, but the writer has more words to work with and more freedom of expression. Many tanka published today feature an image from the natural ( or human) world, followed by some insight relating that observation to the emotional life. Other tanka rely on the image itself to engage the reader's imagination.
Hi Ken, I'll like to get in touch with you regarding tanka at my site Mandy's Pages. Is there an email I can use to correspond with you? Thanks.
This is helpful…thank you! I thought I had written a Tanka but a few poets said it was a Kyoka.

Carlsberg enters UK cider market with launch of Somersby
Carlsberg is making its first foray into the UK cider market with the launch of the Somersby brand.
Somersby Cider, which will launch later this month, is targeting male and female cider drinkers within the mainstream category.
Somersby – which was originally launched in Denmark and Sweden – will not be served over ice.
It will be competing against the market leader, Heineken-owned Strongbow, along with new entrants such as AB Inbev's Stella Artois Cidre, as brands aim to tap into the growing popularity of cider.
The launch of Somersby Cider will be supported by an extensive sampling campaign running until the end of the year, with a multimillion-pound marketing drive expected early next year.
Carlsberg said Somersby was a "crisp, refreshing cider with no sweeteners, flavours or preservatives", which targets consumers who find the "current, established, mainstream ciders in the UK, both artificial and astringent".
The brand has been developed specifically for the UK market, claiming that market research shows Somersby is "significantly preferred to the market leader".
Since its launch in 2008, Somersby has rolled across 22 countries across Northern and Western Europe, alongside parts of Asia.
Darran Britton, marketing and strategy director, Carlsberg UK said: "The cider market creates a huge opportunity for Carlsberg UK to broaden our portfolio. At a time when our beer brands are growing share, the launch of Somersby also adds momentum to our business.
"Carlsberg UK has an unrivalled track record of making, marketing and selling brands loved by consumers. We are using this brand-building expertise to launch a mainstream cider in a market which is enjoying double-digit growth."


Gravitational collapse of matter clouds is a fundamental process in astrophysics, cosmology, and black hole physics today. After giving a basic introduction and review on recent interesting developments here, the purpose of this talk is to raise the possibility whether a probabilistic or stochastic treatment of collapse could create interesting new insights in this arena. In this context, specific classes of important collapse models, such as the Vaidya radiation collapse, Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi dust collapse, and others will be discussed in some detail to point out the criticality and phases of black hole and naked singularity formation as collapse endstates.

Branding watermarks. The dynamic branding watermark appears at the bottom right of each video and allows viewers to subscribe to your YouTube channel.
YouTube Live. YouTube Live allows you to do live broadcasts, which can help you directly engage with your audience in real time.
Featured videos. The featured video option allows you to tell your YouTube channel to feature one specific video across every video on your YouTube channel.
Google Ads linking. Connecting your Google Ads account to your YouTube channel will help link both accounts, giving a smoother correlation between ad performance and video/channel views, and for better campaign measurement.
Verified websites. YouTube allows you to associate one URL per channel. This means that you can associate your brand website to the channel, so you can insert it into annotations and end cards.
Analytics and playlists
YouTube analytics gives you detailed information on how your content is being consumed. It can help you see what content is working and what content your viewers are liking. It can also provide key indicators on how your content should be optimized.
YouTube playlists allow you to create designated lists of videos that users can watch in a specific order. They allow marketers to guide viewers through multiple videos in a series, and to build a desired brand narrative or timeline.
Info cards, annotations, and watermarks
Info cards appear on the top right of your videos as an 'i' icon. These cards can help you drive your audience to where you want them to go; for example to a playlist, to your website, or to another channel that you manage.
Annotations are in-video pop-up messages that allow you layer text, links, and hotspots over your videos. They help to enrich the video experience by adding information, interactivity, and engagement. It's important to know that annotations do not work on mobile devices.
Dynamic branding watermarks appears at the bottom right of your videos. You can designate that they appear throughout your videos or at the end of your videos. This watermark helps to identify where the video comes from. It's particularly useful when a video is embedded on a third-party website.
End-screen annotations
End-screen annotations can appear during the last 5 to 20 seconds of your video. You can add up to four different end-screen annotations per video. You could use them to ask people to subscribe to your YouTube channel, watch other videos, visit your website, or watch playlists.
YouTube Live and featured video
YouTube Live allows you to live-stream your content. Live streams are a great way to engage with your audience in real time.
Featured video allows you to set up a pop-up suggested video across all owned channel videos in order to drive views to that video. Featured videos appear as pop-ups on the bottom right of your videos.
YouTube and Google Ads linking
If you plan to run ads to promote your YouTube channel, it's a good idea to link your YouTube channel to your Google Ads account. This will help match your paid media statistics with that of the videos you plan to promote.
Associating a website to a YouTube channel
YouTube allows you to associate your website to your YouTube channel. This will allow you to drive viewers off YouTube to your desired website from YouTube annotations, info cards, and end-screen annotations. YouTube channels can only be linked to one website url at a time.
Watch history allows users to view what previous video content they have engaged with, and is only available to users who are logged in.
When signing up to YouTube, a user automatically gets a YouTube channel. Signed-in users can subscribe to channels they like and want to follow. This way, they'll be notified when new videos are uploaded by the channel they're following.
Subscribers are important. They have indicated that they want to watch your content, so they'll watch it for longer. To get more subscribers:
Use annotations and end cards to drive viewers to subscribe
Ask your audience to subscribe within your content
Put a link in your channel description, asking people to subscribe to your YouTube channel
YouTube's API is available to developers. This means if a developer wants to build tools to help YouTubers and brands manage their channels, they can do so.
Voting (likes and dislikes)
Viewers can give feedback by clicking 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' on each video. This is a great way to see if they're enjoying the type of content that you uploaded.
Watch Later is a function on YouTube that lets users add videos to a playlist that they'll watch at another time. Not everyone will watch a video the moment it has been uploaded. So don't get discouraged if only a fraction of your subscribers watch your videos on day one. Many will return to watch the videos in their Watch Later lists.
YouTube Red is a paid membership that gives you an enhanced experience across YouTube. It allows viewers to watch videos without interruptions, and offline. It also has a background feature. This means that you can watch or listen to videos in the background, while you're doing other things on your mobile device. From a marketing perspective, this means that your audience won't be exposed to paid ads. However, all YouTube content is still available to watch via YouTube Red.
TubeBuddy and VidIQ are Google Chrome extensions that help you manage your YouTube channel and video content. They help you streamline your tasks when you have channels with many videos. You can bulk-update titles, tags, thumbnails, and much more.
TubularLabs is a cross-platform video analytics and intelligence tool that helps you with your channel engagement. Its dashboard helps managers track high-profile channels that engage or follow your channel, and gives an overview of what the competition is doing on YouTube.
Amara is a tool that helps you with your closed captioning. You can use it to write your own closed captions, or you can use its services to pay somebody else to do closed captioning for your channel.

Frank B. Cross, a law professor at The University of Texas and a sophisticated empiricist, said the new studies went off the rails. "I love these economic tools," Professor Cross said. "But we don't have a good measure of judicial quality."
"Given the anecdotal evidence, economic logic and the great importance of a quality judiciary," he wrote in a reply to Professor Baker, "the case for a judicial pay raise is reasonably strong."

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL DENDRIMER-ENCAPSULATED NANOPARTICLES
RESEARCHER: Richard Crooks, professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, principal investigator
AGENCY: National Science Foundation
AMOUNT: $185,000 (continuing grant)
Professor Richard M. Crooks is conducting research on the synthesis and characterization of novel dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) containing fewer than 250 atoms.
More specifically, alloy and core/shell bimetallic DENs consisting of one noble metal and one non-noble metal, and DENs consisting of one metal and one metal oxide will be synthesized and characterized by EXAFS, high-energy XRD/pair distribution function analysis, and near-atom-resolved STEM/X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy methods. The materials are specifically chosen to be model nanoparticle catalysts that are small enough to accommodate discrete Fourier transform (DFT) calculations, allowing comparison of the experimentally determined properties of these structurally-complex nanoparticles with theory.
This establishes a route to the fundamental understanding of catalyst operation through structure-function relationships, which is a central challenge in the field of catalysis. This research will expose students and postdoctoral researchers to high quality research through training on state-of-the-art instruments, workshops and other innovative educational activities.
CLARIFICATION: Last week's research project was a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation for Adela Ben-Yakar, assistant professor of mechanical engineering. It also is a five-year, $400,000 award.

Missing Google Search's View Image Button? There's A Fix
February 20, 2018 By Robby Payne Leave a Comment
Let me say this up front: using Google's image search to steal images and use them as your own is at best dubious and at worst theft. That being said, there are plenty of legitimate uses for the now-defunct View Image button that used to accompany images when searched on Google Image Search.
I'm not going to unpack those things, but harmless uses in social media, internal projects or image placeholders (until properly obtained photography can be used) are not really things that need to be prosecuted. And, as it turns out, there were A LOT of folks that used this feature and are quite upset that it is gone. If you are unsure what I'm talking about, take a look at the photo at the top.
That button would load up the searched image in a new tab without forcing the user to the website where it resides. With a quick right-click, that image could be downloaded to a hard drive and shared wherever and whenever.
From a certain perspective, I can appreciate Google's choice to remove the button. I can. Though many people didn't use the feature for malicious purposes, there were plenty who did. Whether it was pressure from an entity like Getty Images (rumored) or not, there's still legitimacy in making moves to detract users from such easy routes to image piracy. Will this stop it entirely? No way, but it will help.
There Are Other Ways
Before we unveil the fix for this inconvenience, let me give you a scenario where image search is useful and fair. I have a client who is not tech-savvy. They needed a Realtor/MLS logo for the footer of their website and didn't have the image. Sure, they could reach out to a larger entity, request the image, wait for a reply, get the image, get it to me and then let me implement it in the footer.
We just launched a new site for them, however, and having left out this detail during the building phase, he was fearful that he could get fined for not including the logo. What were we to do, then? With a quick search, I found the official logo with Google Image Search, downloaded it, and got it placed on his site within minutes.
There are good uses for this feature. That's all I'm saying.
So, for those of you who need this feature to return, there is very good news. A quick extension install will put everything back the way it was. You can click here and head to the Web Store to install View Image and, as expected, the View Image button will return in your searches.
Now, that you have your button back, please use it responsibly. Please.

Parents run up £14K debt for school meals
West Dunbartonshire parents/carers owe £14,000 for school meals
Parents in West Dunbartonshire have ran up £14,500 of debt from unpaid school meals.
The figure was obtained through a Freedom of Information request which revealed a staggering £1.1million is owed across the whole of Scotland.
Every child at a council-run school in the country is entitled to free meals in the first three years of education.
Pupils continue to get lunches provided if their parents or carers receive certain benefits or tax credits.
But everyone else has to pay.
The Scottish Green Party received details after submitting requests for information from all 32 local authorities.
Ross Greer MSP, whose remit covers West Dunbartonshire, said: "We know that means-tested free school meals miss out far too many families who need them. The reality is that much of this £1.1 million is never going to be paid back, because families simply cannot afford it.
"If it is serious about closing the attainment gap between our richest and poorest pupils, the Scottish Government should follow the example of Finland by providing all school-age children with access to a free, nutritious breakfast and lunch, including during school holidays. The first step towards that would be having councils writing off this frankly astonishing and growing debt."
West Dunbartonshire is in the process of rolling-out a cashless payments system which would allow parents to pay in advance for school meals online.
No pupils will go hungry at lunchtime however, as they are still provided with food, even if they are already in debt, or don't have the means to pay.
A spokeswoman for West Dunbartonshire Council said: "West Dunbartonshire Council has invested significantly in recent years to increase the number of children and young people eligible for free school meals beyond national requirements. As a result, 80 per cent of school meals received by pupils in primary schools and 50 per cent received in secondary schools are provided free of charge.
"We have recently introduced the ParentPay system which enables parents and carers to pay for school meals online, making the process easier and more convenient.
"No child ever goes without a meal, and parents are offered support to manage any outstanding debt. "

New ParkNYC App Proves to Be Unrivaled Success in First 30 Days
Record-Breaking Numbers in First Four Weeks
Flowbird's ParkNYC Earns 4.6 on App Store
NEW YORK - December 1, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Flowbird Group launched the new and improved ParkNYC mobile parking app on Oct. 17, allowing motorists to pay for on-street and municipal parking in New York City. The new app, implemented by the New York City Department of Transportation, can be used in tens of thousands of parking locations across the five boroughs. In the first four weeks of the launch, the app was downloaded an unprecedented 700K times.
About 42% of all parking transactions in New York City are made by phone, which showcases the importance of having an easy-to-use parking payment interface. The new ParkNYC app, launched this October, brings several innovations that aim to streamline the parking experience. Improvements to the app include the ability to pay as you go, in addition to the existing ability to pre-load a ParkNYC wallet. The app also supports the latest models of today's smartphones, providing users with a better in-app experience than ever before. Users can receive push notifications when time is about to expire, and extend their time through the app.
Thirty days after the launch of the new pay-by-phone ParkNYC app, its success is unmatched. The new app has been downloaded 700,000 times with 500,000 accounts created. In just 4 weeks, the app has processed over 1.8 million parking transactions. Since the launch, ratings for the new app have jumped from 1.4(on the previous app) to 4.6, with over 10k user ratings. Users compliment the new design, thank the development team for the seamless integration, and cite that it is easy to connect.
Customer support has been on standby since launch, helping users transition to the new app platform. As of 30 days post-launch, there are about five support requests per 1,000 mobile transactions. The average wait time is under one minute on the support line and most calls are resolved in under six minutes.
"I love the new revised app. It is user-friendly, efficient, and we are able to extend parking when needed. Great convenience!" - ParkNYC App iOS reviewer.
Flowbird partnered with NYCDOT to design a brand new end-user portal for ParkNYC and to ensure a successful transition to the new app.
We are delighted to have improved the end users' convenience and to see such a quick increase in the adoption rate," said Benoit Reliquet, President, Flowbird America. "This success is the result of very dedicated collaboration between NYCDOT and our teams."
New York City joins the thousands of other towns and cities across the United States, and globally, using the Flowbird app. Flowbird's continued growth reflects its success in providing simple and convenient solutions for parking and mobility. For more information, please visit www.ParkNYC.org.

Block Copolymers: Overview and Critical Survey is a critical review of block copolymer technology and a comprehensive critical survey on the synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of the specific block copolymer structures reported in the literature. The copolymers are organized according to segmental architecture and chemical composition.
Comprised of seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of what block copolymers are, how they are made, and what they can and cannot be expected to do. The next chapter defines block copolymers and compares them with other types of polymer "hybrids," that is, polymer blends, random copolymers, and graft copolymers. The various segmental architectures that are possible with block copolymers are then described, followed by a discussion on the various synthesis techniques applicable to block copolymers; the characterization methods capable of elucidating block copolymer structures; some applications of commercially available block copolymers; and some future challenges for block copolymer technology. The last three chapters are devoted to A-B diblock copolymers, A-B-A triblock copolymers, and (A-B)n multiblock copolymers.
This monograph should be useful to readers who want to become generally conversant with block copolymer technology and to those who need to delve more deeply into the subject.
