Politics / IN BRIEF / Harold Hutchison / Apr. 16, 2020
Barr Warns Durham Investigation Findings Are 'Troubling'
"The evidence shows that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness."
Attorney General William Barr is saying the right things about U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal investigations into the deep state over the Russia-collusion hoax. For the moment, that's all he can do.
"My own view is that the evidence shows that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness," Barr said. "There is something far more troubling here, and we're going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted." He added, "I think the president has every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history. Without any basis they started this investigation of his campaign."
However, it takes more than words to get the one thing we've been looking for from Spygate: Accountability.
The fact of the matter is that the spying on Donald Trump's presidential campaign during 2016 and the later Russiagate probe that proved to be a big nothingburger with a side order of dubious convictions on process crimes may prove to be one of the most massive abuses of power we have ever seen in this country's history. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was used to spy on the political campaigns of the opposition party. Action must be taken to ensure it never happens again.
Imagine if George W. Bush had turned the FBI on the "Gitmo Bar." How would the same press outlets that rushed to defend the likes of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and others have reacted? Somehow, we doubt the press would have been defending Bush's efforts — even with the clear evidence that al-Qaida was receiving a level of aid and comfort that makes Hanoi Jane's North Vietnamese photo-op look like peanuts.
If intelligence investigators had come up with concrete evidence of what had been claimed by the likes of lead Democrat witch-hunter Adam Schiff, it would have been a completely different story. Had such proof emerged, it would have been evidence of serious wrongdoing. The problem was, after all the hype and the phony claims, there was no evidence of collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign.
Turning the FBI on political opponents should not happen unless there is an exceptionally grave threat to national security. Yet the only "evidence" was a DNC-funded dossier — tainted by Russian disinformation, no less. Worse, those investigating knew it, but the investigation still continued.
The FBI spying on Trump was not the only deep-state abuse. We can look at Lois Lerner and the IRS targeting the Tea Party. There were the "John Doe" investigations in Wisconsin. We can look at the threats from Democrat state attorneys general to use RICO on opponents of the Left's environmental agenda. We also cannot forget the actions of Andrew Cuomo and Letitia James against the NRA. In none of these cases have those abused seen any measure of justice for the wrong inflicted on them.
If that is not bad enough, here's what is really frightening: Joe Biden is running to defeat Donald Trump. Does anyone seriously think Biden was out of the loop on the misuse of the FBI's counterintelligence powers during his time as vice president? We wouldn't be surprised if the abuses of the Obama administration come back — only this time on steroids.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the first federal register request for comments related to the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) June 22, and PCSAO responded last week.
FFPSA passed in February and represents the most substantial change to child welfare federal financing in decades. The register focused on decisions related to the development of a clearinghouse of evidence-based practices in accordance with the FFPSA.
PCSAO supports the new law, which allows Title IV-E funds to be used for prevention and which limits use of residential care, but has doubts about whether Ohio will have the necessary infrastructure in place so that costs are not shifted to counties. To that end, PCSAO submitted comments to HHS July 20. Comments related to the type of prevention programs and services that should be selected for the clearinghouse, target population of interest, target outcomes, trauma-informed interventions, delivery setting of services, study eligibility criteria, study prioritization criteria, and recommendations of potential candidate programs and services.

The CEC Experience
Clark Kelly - 2020 A.K. Morris Award
The A.K. Morris Award honors members of the Miami faculty, staff, alumni or friend who carry on a tradition of service to Miami's alumni family and the alumni association.
Always happy to lend a helping hand, Clark Kelly has been an invaluable resource for the Miami University Alumni Association. Kelly's contributions range from arranging faculty for Winter College courses to securing Benton Hall for Alumni Weekend's Alumni College to serving on the 18 of the Last 9 selection committee.
Kelly, a former development officer for University Advancement, now serves as the assistant dean of external relations and communications for Miami's College of Engineering and Computing. But, he is hardly a stranger to his friends in the alumni association.
After earning his bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Kelly obtained his mster's in international relations from Troy University. He is known for his professional and proactive approach, as well as for embracing university initiatives.
"From recruiting faculty presenters to serving on committees, Clark Kelly is a colleague who can be counted on to go the extra mile," said Michelle Martin Rosencrans, director of alumni engagement for the alumni association. "Always with a smile on his face, Clark finds solutions, offers feedback and challenges assumptions. He encourages us all to be better versions of ourselves."

Liverpool, Ajax battle for Europa League survival
Liverpool will miss Uruguay's Luis Suarez because he is cup-tied. (AFP)
Liverpool and Ajax Amsterdam, nine-times European champions between them, will both sorely miss Uruguay's Luis Suarez as they battle for survival in the Europa League on Thursday.
Four-times European champions Ajax travel to Spartak Moscow for a last-16 return match 1-0 down from last week's first leg while Liverpool face Portuguese upstarts Braga at Anfield trailing by the same score.
Suarez scored 81 league goals in less than four seasons with Ajax before leaving for Liverpool in January and the Dutch team could certainly have done with his nose for goal in Russia, having dominated the game and missed a hatful of chances.
Liverpool will also be unable to count on the 23-year-old forward because he is cup-tied.
"We would much rather have Luis playing in the Europa League but then we would much rather have him for a long-term contract than just for three months," manager Kenny Dalglish told Sky's website (www.skysports.com).
"We are happy he is at the club and we just need to wait."
Although Suarez is absent, plenty of other South Americans have been enjoying themselves in Europe's much-maligned second-string tournament.
South American players grabbed winners in four of last week's eight ties and Colombian Radamel Falcao Garcia tops the overall scoring charts with seven goals for Porto.
Brazilian midfielder Alex Meschini poached Spartak's winner at Ajax and compatriot Nilmar netted twice to give Villarreal a 3-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen and put his side in the driving seat in the clash between the only surviving Spanish and German teams.
Portuguese sides Porto and Benfica regularly feature up to eight South Americans in their starting line-ups, with Colombians and Argentines joining the more familiar Brazilians.
Porto have been a dominant force in the competition this year, losing only one out of 11 games, and are strongly placed to progress as they host CSKA Moscow with a 1-0 lead from the first leg in Russia.
The winner was courtesy of a superb strike from Falcao's fellow Colombian Fredy Guarin.
Benfica's line-up could include Paraguay World Cup striker Oscar Cardozo, experienced Argentines Pablo Aimar and Javier Saviola and bright prospects for the future in Franco Jara and Eduardo Salvio.
Salvio is hoping to collect a winner's medal for the second year running, having been part of the Atletico Madrid squad that lifted the trophy last year.
"I had a wonderful experience in the Europa League with Atletico. Now I am feeling the same with Benfica," said the 20-year-old whose team take a 2-1 lead to Paris St Germain after goals from Uruguayan Maxi Pereira and Franco Jara.
"I think we can score in France ... we all know it will be a very difficult game but we have very good, experienced players who can help us through."
Liverpool's Brazilian midfielder Lucas is another Europa League fan.
"For me it's a big competition," he said. "Maybe some people don't give this competition too much importance but in Brazil the Europa League is very important for everyone.
"I am looking forward to getting through to the next stage and why not dream of the title?," Lucas added.
"Unfortunately I still don't have medals but when you come to Liverpool you come to win trophies and that's the way you have to always think. When you retire all you have are the good clubs you have played for and the trophies you have won."
In other ties, big-spending Manchester City will try and claw back a 2-0 deficit at home to Dynamo Kiev while Twente Enschede take a 3-0 lead to 2008 champions Zenit St Petersburg, the third surviving Russian team.
Rangers also host Dutch league leaders PSV Eindhoven after a goalless first leg.

Q: Creating a randomized background color Currently on my Dash course on project 5 checkpoint 3  and I'm stuck, course is asking me to create a CSS function that will create a random background color upon clicking a button.
This program has been good and all but I don't really have any kind of guidance besides forums like here.

<button class="flash">laser eyes on/off</button>
<button class="color">change color!</button>

Just a sorry in advance, I'm very new to this coding world and don't really know the ropes just yet.

A: In your body selector the style element change
background-color: var();

to
background-color: var(--random-color);

Then to your body tag change this from

to

then in your final line of code change
$("body").css("background", random RGBA);

to
$("body").attr("style", '--random-color:'+randomRGBA);

It's possible to change the css directly but it's easier to define the css variable in the body style attribute.

With more and more electric cars on the road, we can assume that they will also be involved in auto accidents. Since firefighters are usually first responders, they need to get additional training on the differences between standard, hybrid and electric cars. Tesla Motors has stepped up to the plate to donate their Model S for firefighters to use in practice emergency situations.
There is a pretty good training video for firefighters, using the Tesla Model S to demonstrate how to use the jaws-of-life hydraulic rescue tool to assist in getting people out of the car after an emergency crash. Understanding the various electrical components of an EV (electric vehicle) is critical, because a firefighter needs to be aware of potential dangers that are in the EVs as compared to a regular automobile. Operational considerations include the high voltage components as well as overall construction differences.
The forty minute video isn't a complete demonstration, but it is used along with more detailed instruction that is given by a qualified electric vehicle instructor. Tesla has made their name as one of the top EV manufacturers in the world and has maintained quality and integrity while keeping up with the technology needs of a growing EV market. By donating their Model S version, they are not only doing a good deed, but getting public relations and excellent exposure to markets that they might not previously had the ability to preview. The Tesla brand has continued to be elevated and associated with excellence on a global scale, and it's anticipated that they will be the benchmark example for other automotive manufacturers. Giving firefighters the ability to save the lives of others while understanding the complexities of an EV is yet another great move on the part of Tesla Motors.
Posted on July 30th under Renewable Electricity.
My Uncle bought a Tesla and he absolutely loves it. He told me that the dealer has treated him better than any other dealer of any other car he has ever bought. The car itself has been a dream for him. When I rode in it with him, it took me a while to get used to no noise, but the interior was so nice, it actually made the ride so much more enjoyable. There should be more car manufacturers that do things like this, it pays off in the long run. Will be sharing this info with my Uncle.
Tesla isn't a name that has made it that big in the U.S., but in other parts of the world it is really well known. They struggled for a long time trying to get their EV on the market, but that's because they were visionary thinkers and a bit ahead of the times. It was worth sticking it out, because now they are top dog in the EV market. This is a great way for them to give back. It will pay off in the future, because you know those firefighters, their families and everyone that is associated with the rescue video will remember that it was Tesla that helped them.

If you're interested in a career change, the Pikes Peak Region is dealing with a shortage of Certified Nurse Aides.
The Independence Center held a grand opening Friday at a new building they recently purchased at 711 S. Tejon Street. It's right next door to their current office and will specifically be used for CNA training classes.
The advocacy organization helps people with disabilities live independently and believes CNA's are the key to keeping people out of nursing homes.
The next set of classes begin in November.
Yeager says typically each class contains 10-13 people.

How to Get Help With Your Hospital Bills After a Car Accident | Craven, Hoover, & Blazek P.C.
After being seriously injured in a car accident caused by a negligent driver, your life is instantly turned upside down. Not only are you in pain, you have a lot on your mind, which fills your days with anxiety about all sorts of matters. But how your accident affects your finances should not be one of them. If you are concerned about paying bills, including hospital and medical bills, do your best not to worry. That is because there are options available for recovering compensation for all the damages and losses you've incurred after being injured in a motor vehicle accident.
Continue reading to learn how to get started.
Your first step after being injured in a car accident that was not your fault is to hire a licensed personal injury lawyer who specializes in motor vehicle accidents. With their assistance, you can make a claim for compensation. At the appropriate time, they will solicit an offer from the insurance company and negotiate with them until a full and fair settlement offer is made.
If the insurance company will not budge or resolve the case for full and fair compensation, then a more drastic course of action becomes necessary. Most often, a seasoned personal injury lawyer can negotiate a claim and settle out of court, but they will go to trial if the defendant's insurance carrier makes it necessary.
If you win your case, the jury is allowed to award damages for all medical bills, future medical bills, past and future pain and suffering, compensation for scarring, reduced quality of life, lost wages and more. In certain egregious cases, you may even be able to win punitive damages. See our blog, "A Brief Explanation of Compensatory, Nominal, and Punitive Damages" to learn more about the types of damages in a personal injury case.
Medicaid, and other non-governmental related private health insurance companies.
You may also have what is called medical payments coverage under your own automobile policy which would allow you to submit your medical bills for payment under your own automobile policy. See our blog, "What is MedPay?" to learn more. In addition, if you are injured on the property of a business or home, sometimes the insurance carrier for the business or home owner will have medical payments coverage that can be used to pay your medical bills while you are awaiting a settlement of your case.
Do not stop making payments, or the hospital or doctor might stop treating you. If you are having trouble keeping up with your payments, you may be able to request delayed or reduced payment, but this would require the help of a lawyer. This is just another reason why your first step to getting help with your medical bills is to hire a seasoned personal injury lawyer who specializes in Indiana car accident claims.
Call The Law office of Craven, Hoover, and Blazek P.C. at 317-881-2700 to make a car accident or slip and fall claim in Indiana. Our seasoned Indianapolis personal injury lawyers are ready and able to recover the full and fair compensation you deserve. Not only does our law firm offer free consultations, we never collect lawyer fees unless we prevail for you. Call 317-881-2700 to schedule an appointment, today.

Q: A verb for "flattery" The sentences is:

All the children here stopped. They fawned over the young man, flattery spilling out everywhere.

Is there any good replacement for "spilling"? The idea is that suddenly the young man came in and the air was overflowed with flattery. Or is there any other good way to put it?

A: You could say:

They (then) fawned over the young man, heaping flattery (of every type) upon him, (so as to catch his attention for but a moment.)

It's a bit poetic, but I think it captures the word picture you are attempting to create.  Anything in the parenthesis can be omitted, but I believe they add a bit more polish.
You could say also say:

flattery filling the air.

But I think I like the first a bit better.

A: I think the verb gushing would work well, because we often use that word in conjunction with heaping praise.
Interesting ngram.
One definition of gushing is:

gushing Exuberantly and demonstratively emotional; given to or characterized by gush: as, a gushing girl; a gushing letter.

Also:

gush (v.) To make an excessive display of enthusiasm or sentiment.

Weekly Security Update for 13th January 2012
By JohnDrake on 13th January 2012 in Weekly Security Update
The year 2012 has not begun well for Iraq. Levels of violence rose in the country last week, with at least 107 people killed and 300 injured in nationwide incidents. Several of the latest bombings have targeted pilgrims gathering in the centre of the country to mark Arba'een. The holy religious period is currently at its culmination, but attacks may continue over the coming days as worshippers return home following the conclusion.
In Ninawa province violence was concentrated in the city of Mosul while attacks were dispersed through the province of Ta'mim, where the contested city of Kirkuk is located. Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) territory also saw a number of violent incidents, but they were largely related to low-level criminality and local disputes rather than politics or terrorism. Perhaps the most notable incident in the north was an explosive attack directed against equipment belonging to Angolan energy firm Sonangol. No-one was harmed during the incident but the attack serves as a reminder that oil and gas firms remain an attractive target for militants in the country. They are a political pressure point for groups trying to send a signal to the government, as well as an emblematic representation of the international community. The fact that many of these firms work in parts of the country (and wider world) where operational risks can be quite high means that safety and security will continue to play a major role in the industry. Indeed, perhaps there is no sector better equipped for the rigours of a hostile environment than those already compliant with extensive industry-wide HSEQ legislation.
Weekly Attacks in Iraq - the last 6 months
Much of the violence last week was concentrated in the centre of the country. Security measures are currently heightened as the country marks the Shi'ah holy period of Arba'een. The event sees numerous Shi'ah pilgrims converging on mosques and shrines, particularly in Karbala. Terrorist attacks targeting the event should be anticipated over the coming days and large crowds should be avoided. At least four people were kidnapped in Iraq over the course of the week, including a Turkmen contractor who managed to escape within 24 hours of his abduction in northern Salah ad-Din province. Another kidnap victim, held for an unspecific period of time was also rescued during an operation in Diyala province. The police regularly manage to free kidnap victims in the country, which is re-assuring as regards their growing abilities. However, it is likely that many more kidnap cases go unreported and unsolved. Conditions are not as bad as during earlier years when the kidnap industry was widespread and highly lucrative, but it certainly remains a concern in the country. AKE has just released its quarterly kidnap report. If you would like to enquire about purchasing a copy please email intel@akegroup.com.
The southern region remains one of the quietest parts of the country with very few incidents of violence recorded last week. However, a suicide bomb targeted a gathering of Shi'ah pilgrims in Dhi Qar province, killing at least 44 people and injuring over 80. The attack was the first in Dhi Qar province in 10 weeks and the first suicide bombing in the south of the country in over four months. Security searches along the Baghdad-Nassiriyah highway were increased and are likely to remain fairly rigorous for at least a week as Arba'een draws to a close.

There was a time when you could build you own PC, and buy an OEM version of Windows to run on it. Well, according to everyone BUT Microsoft. Creating confusion and caos in Microsoft's own Windows Help forums, as well as with PC builders everywhere, Microsoft's EULA now states that the OEM version is meant for PC builders for resale only. You cannot build a PC for yourself and use an OEM copy. Even if you work for a resale shop. If it's for personal use, you must use a retail or upgrade version. Now, it hasn't always been this way. Old information (now deleted on MS's site) states that you could use an OEM copy if you built your own PC… Hmmm… Will Microsoft change it's stance after this has come to light? They state the information on their site was a "mistake", as well as the literature that came with previous versions of Windows.
I sure hope so. It would save us DIY'ers some money, and it would save Microsoft some face. I'll be watching this development very closely.
Once, not so long ago, Microsoft officially allowed hobbyists and Windows enthusiasts to use discounted OEM System Builder copies on new PCs built for personal use. Last year, in a post titled OEM licensing confusion starts at Microsoft.com, I posted pictures of official, Microsoft-produced documents that made this policy crystal-clear, in plain English.

The effects of man-made noise on the behaviour of marine animals
Pay-walled Journal Article 1990
Environmental International
Myrberg Jr., A. A.
Reports of the effects of man-made noise on the behavior and related processes of marine animals are widely scattered among a variety of literature sources. This report brings much of this literature together and attempts a synthesis by a comparative analysis of the results obtained from taxonomically diverse species. Mammals and fishes are emphasized since little is known about the subject in other groups. Field studies have shown aversion by various baleen and toothed whales to the noise accompanying offshore petroleum exploration and production. Variation in response involves: level of source-noise to that of the ambient, degree of naivete of the animals to the source-noise, on-going activity at the time of exposure and, to an uncertain degree, the species involved. Although seals and their relatives have not been adequately examined regarding their response to underwater noise, individuals have been shown to be clearly susceptible (anatomically based) to high levels of such noise. Studies have also shown the deleterious effects of even moderate noise levels on hearing in fishes. Aversion to various types of man-made noise has been noted several times, with associated levels being similar to those noted when similar responses were recorded by whales. Finally, several studies have documented abnormal growth and reproductive processes in several species of fin- and shellfish due to high levels of man-made noise. Such findings should be of concern to the field of aquaculture, since it is dependent on such fundamental processes.

Rez hid a smille, "Alright, your turn."
Grinning,he flicked his tail. "Eating a bug." He chuckled. "It might sound disgusting,but who knows. It might taste good."
Wind couldn't help it, he rolled his eyes playfully. "Oh... what are you going to do now Re?" he smirked, "Go on, choose your bug species."
Rez looked down at the ground and saw, well, lots of bugs. She grinned upp uncertainly at Fang. "I guess it's your choice."
He chuckled half-heartly. He then glanced at the ground. He saw a beetle crawl across the forest floor. He pointed at it. "The beetle. I guess."
Rez chuckled, "Alright." then she snatched up the beatal and ate it. She bit down on it and it crunched. It tasted strange, but wasn't as bad as she thought. "Crunchy." she grinned and licked him on the ear playfully.
Chuckling,he. Smiled at rez. "Hehe,i hope it tasted good. I don't think i have the courage to eat a bug." He then sighed. "I donate now,right?"
she smiled back, "Guess so." she gave Wind a pointed look.
Nodding,he moved his paws slowly. Thinking of something crazy,he jumped up onto two legs and started to dance.
Rez started laughing at the sight, "And here I thought you can't dance." then bounding to her paws, she leapt at him, knocking hem both down into a tangle of paws and tails.
Wind watched with eyebrows raced, "You should do that more. It,it's very becoming of you." He teased lightly.
Being knocked down,he licked rez's ear. "I still can't. But nothing's wrong with trying." He chuckled. Then nodded to wind.
Rez grinned back, her tail wagging. "What now?"
Siting up,he shook out his pelt. He then glanced at wind. "Yeah,what should we do?"
I might be gone a few weeks.
Rez nuzzled him then grinned at Wind. "You have an idea?"
He grinned. Then say down,and yawned.
Do you mean Rez or the site? Rez has intense testings and the site, well she said it does that sometimes.
Wind twitched an ear, "sleep and dream?" he grinned.
He shrugged. "I'm going to stay up a bit." He then laid on his back. Taking a deep breath,he listened to the sounds and smells around him. He saw a full moon glisten. He howled. But then made no sound.
Rez lifted her muzzle to te moon and gave a silent howl. She was thinking of days gone, the times when Razzu and she had been traveling alone and packless.
Seeing rez,whom was still a wake,he blinked. "You ok? You seem to be thinking about something." She seemed to be trying to remeber something. He shut his eyes close. My old times. When i was still a loner. Out there,by myself. He felt a tear fall,then turned back to the sky. I wonder how moms doing? And dad,i wonder if they both watch over....me. He opened his eyes. Seeing the starry lights dot the sky. He sighed. I have a new life now. I should be happy.
Rez nuzzled him gently, "Oh Fang. You'll be safe here." then in a low whisper she added, "I love you."
He turned,and blushed. Grinning,he turned back to the stars. "I love you more rez." He then curled up next to her. Feeling her warmth flow into him.
Razzu had been hiding in the bushes.He caught sight of Reszia and Fang and Wind.He stepped out with his head low but a smile on his muzzle.He had been away for so long..."Hello."He said softly as he paused before his Dominant's and Wind.
Turning to see razzu,he smiled. "Haven't seen you in quite a while. Where have you been?"
Rez saw her twin and pounced onto him, "Were you snooping?" she asked suspeciously as he covered him with licks. Then she realized what Fang had said and she blused hard.

Evaluating Urban Stormwater Drainage to Develop Flood-Resilient Neighborhoods
Northeast Houston, Texas

Constance C. Luo, Community Organizer, Texas Organizing Project, [email protected]
For the residents of Houston, Hurricane Harvey destroyed homes, lives, and traumatized families in multiple regions of the city. Many families experienced homelessness, medical illness, financial debt, loss of jobs, and lack of access to education following the storm. Multiple floods from Tropical Storm Allison (2001), Hurricane Ike (2008), and most recently Tropical Storm Imelda (2019) have caused extreme additive damage to communities of color in Northeast Houston. Flooding is not just associated with hurricanes and tropical storms, there have been major flood events between these episodes, such as the Memorial Day Floods of 2015.
Though the floodwaters of Harvey did not discriminate, the recovery process has disproportionately affected low income African American and Latino Houstonians. Many of the aid programs made available in the wake of Harvey were inaccessible to those who did not have homeowners or flood insurance and a lack of representation from local elected officials made seeking help and remedy difficult.
The focus of this project was to better understand how and why the Northeast neighborhood of Houston (defined by zip codes 77078, 77028 and 77016), floods so often. This is a region of the city that floods multiple times per year even during small storm events and has seen little to no improvement to its drainage and flooding infrastructure.
Constance Luo, a Community Organizer with Texas Organizing Project (TOP), worked with Dr. Edith Wilson to understand the how, why and where of Northeast Houston's flooding problem. This was achieved through in-person meetings between Edith and members of TOP as well as visits to the field to observe existing drainage infrastructure across the neighborhood. Edith trained TOP members and community leaders on how to access and interpret flooding infrastructure maps. Publicly available map data, including Digital Elevation Models and census data, were combined with local data on infrastructure to identify areas of community concern.
Edith Wilson (2nd from left) and Constance Luo (4th from left) with TOP members
This collaborative project has led to success in (1) TOP building better relationships with local governments, the City of Houston and Harris County, regarding flooding infrastructure and (2) TOP successfully asking Harris County to prioritize low income communities to receive $2.5 million dollars in flood bonds to improve flooding infrastructure and prevent flooding in low income communities long-term.
Project Outputs:
Maps and Discussion Points for TOP
Meeting with community leaders at the end of the project to communicate results
Project Impacts:
Edith (left) demonstrates map capabilities to TOP members.
The impact of this project was very significant for TOP members, Northeast Houston residents and greater Houston community. Specifically:
Through the community mapping that Edith spearheaded and shared with the community, organizers and community members were able to incorporate a better understanding of flood infrastructure and Edith's maps into their advocacy with the Commissioner's Court to push for prioritization of flooding infrastructure projects in low income areas.
This work impacted TOP's Spanish-speaking members as materials were made available in Spanish.
A cultural shift was observed in how the TOP members and staff talk about flooding in Houston. Constance has noticed TOP members approaching her to identify and discuss news articles related to flooding in Houston.
TOP members began asking for long-term action on the flooding issues as a result of the collaboration.
From this project, others may learn better ways to partner with Thriving Earth Exchange for their own purposes. For instance,
The team noted that the following contributed to the success of the project:
Spending time talking with the community members in groups and one-on-one at coffee shops or the library was instrumental in building trust.
Spending time in the field to tour the drainage infrastructure across the neighborhood helped contextualize the issue.
However, there were a few key things that the team would do differently if they had the chance to do this project again:
Be more proactive in providing community members early access to the maps. People can relate easily to maps (many people can access them now on smart phones) – and it helps foster a common language.
Schedule more frequent phone conversations just to touch base (can be as short as 10 minutes).
To other teams currently pursuing Thriving Earth Exchange projects and for those that anticipate doing a Thriving Earth Exchange project, the team recommends:
Community members are vital to any community science project and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, at every step of the project. While scientists and other coordinating members on the project may have the formal expertise and training regarding community science, community members provide the real-life experience that ties in perfectly with the knowledge that scientists have. Community organizing and science work hand in hand to fight for justice.
Spend time one on one with people. Go knock on doors, have food together. Appeal to each other as human beings. Results of a project are not always maps, data, reports, etc.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, the neighborhoods of east and northeast Houston suffered extensive damage. Majority of the drowning deaths from the storm occurred outside the mapped flood zones designated as being in the 100- and 500- year floodplains, including the zip code of 77078. This region is known officially as Northeast Houston by the City of Houston and Harris County but informally called East Houston by residents. Nearly one year after the storm hit Southeast Texas, many people in the predominately African American and Latino communities of Northeast Houston find themselves still suffering from the impacts of the storm. Many residents are now living in temporary mobile home parks, houses contaminated with mold, and facing the reality of an outdated and crumbling drainage system. Storm drains and ditches throughout this area of the city become clogged and go unaddressed, further exacerbating flooding. Residents also report feeling traumatized by the unprecedented impact Harvey made and lacking confidence that they will remain protected during future storms.
The Texas Organizing Project (TOP) is a community-based non-profit working to improve the lives of low-income and working-class Texas families through civic and electoral engagement as well as community organizing. The group conducts direct action organizing around issue campaigns such as education reform, criminal justice, and affordable housing. A recent campaign has rallied residents around the issue of resilient flooding infrastructure. Homeowners are tired of just talking about the issue and want to see real action around flood infrastructure improvements.
TOP would like to find a scientific partner who can help them obtain a better understanding of Northeast Houston's flood risk and outline a step-wise process on how to fix their specific drainage issues. The goal of this TEX project is to bring scientific evidence and understanding to the questions and priorities of local residents, so that residents can use that science to make decisions and take actions.
This project has been conceived and designed in partnership with community leaders at Texas Organizing Project and with our national partner, Flood Forum USA.
Constance C. Luo is a Community Organizer with the Texas Organizing Project (TOP), a community based nonprofit organizing low income black and brown Texans for justice in their communities. She works closely with TOP membership to develop their leadership skills in public speaking, meeting with elected officials, facilitating meetings, member/volunteer recruitment and fundraising. She also leads the language justice program in the Harris County office, ensuring that all aspects of the organization are accessible for both English and Spanish speakers. Prior to her work with TOP, Constance worked as an organizer in Chicago in the areas of housing, political campaigns and voter registration.

Huawei lowers its 2020 revenue target for the Indian market by 50%, may layoff 60%-70% employees
Business / July 27, 2020 July 27, 2020
According to media reports, several people familiar with the matter said that China TelecomThe equipment manufacturer Huawei has lowered its 2020 revenue target in India by as much as 50%, and plans to lay off 60%-70% of its staff, excluding staff in R&D and global service centers.
Huawei's move is mainly to respond to the sharp decline in the demand for equipment and services in the Indian market. Huawei has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Huawei's branch in India follows the Indian fiscal year. In 2017, Huawei India's revenue was 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and it has declined year after year. One of the main reasons is that the financial situation of the Indian telecommunications company itself is tight, which has led to a decline in demand. People familiar with the matter said that Huawei has set its 2020 India revenue target in the range of US$350 million to US$500 million, which is lower than the previous US$700 million to US$800 million range.
Huawei's reason for lowering its revenue target is that the company does not expect two major telecom customers in India to place new orders. Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are Huawei's two major telecommunications customers in the Indian market. People familiar with the matter said, "the company intends to reduce the number of full-time employees, contract workers and third-party employees in India."
In the rest of Tamil Nadu, the cooperation between Huawei and Bharti Telecom is at stake. The latter may cooperate with Ericsson.Cooperation. Last year, it was reported that Huawei had lost orders from the Rajasthan region. Once Huawei loses its cooperation in the rest of Tamil Nadu, the cooperation between Huawei and Bharti Telecom will only be left to provide equipment for the two service areas of the telecom company.
"The layoffs mainly involve employees in the network support, on-site deployment, outsourcing and sales departments, because the telecom operators currently have no new projects or intentions to reach new cooperation," a person familiar with the matter said.
Another person familiar with the matter said: "The company currently only needs a few people to maintain the annual contract it signed with the telecom operator. Those who are still in the company are very worried about their jobs because there are not many opportunities in the market."
Huawei's consumer business or mobile phone business in India has also been reduced. The company has not yet launched multiple devices in India.

The Dermablend powder is awesome. It lasts for a long time and I generally don't have problems with shine after I apply it. It doesn't go anywhere. The color is really light though, so apply sparingly if you don't want to look too pale. But fortunately a little goes a long way.


We spent the afternoon on a very powerful catamaran, with about 100 other people, exploring the Bay of Islands properly.
And yes, within 5 minutes we came across a family pod of about 25 bottlenose dolphins, including a four month old baby dolphin with its mum. It was as magical as it sounds. The dolphins were quite happy to swim and play around the boat for ages. Eventually we had to leave them, the dolphins themselves would have stayed by the boat for a lot longer.
The Bay of Islands is just stunningly beautiful. Especially as the weather was perfect. Hundreds of rocky outcrop Islands of all sizes. The boat stopped for an hour at one of the bigger islands – Urupukapuka, and we scrambled up a hill to get the most fantastic views of Otehei Bay. The Bay was named by Captain Cook.
And yes very impressively this large boat did go through the Hole in the Rock. It took the skipper a while to be sure that the boat was lined up properly and sea conditions were okay. There were only a few feet spare on each side and quite a few rocky outcrops. But for quite a contrived manoeuvre it was surprisingly awesome.
Overall a lovely, lovely day.

This function enables you to search for a Keystone Symposia meeting by any word in the meeting title, location, organizer names, meeting summary or sessions (including session names, speaker names and talk titles).
SEARCHING BY A NAME: If you are searching based on a person's name, it is best to enter only part of the name, OR to enter the First Name, the word 'AND', and the Last Name, like this: "James AND Aiken".
We often list the person's full name with the Middle Initial.
See 'Combined Words' below for more details.
Searches on the Keystone Symposia website can be modified to narrow or expand your search criteria using the terms listed below.
You may use commas instead of the word OR...so 'Cancer OR MicroRNA' is the same as 'Cancer, MicroRNA'.
By default, any keyword you enter on the Keystone Symposia website will be 'wildcarded', so there is no need to enter a special character at the end of your term, such as an asterisk.
For example, searching for "Canc AND MicroRNA" is not the same search as "Cancer AND MicroRNA"; the first search would NOT return records with 'Cancer', only the second search would because the full word Cancer was typed.
NOTE: Abstract authors/submitters may choose to not have their abstract available online and in the secure mobile app until a week before the meeting.

Cell biologists have recently mapped the signaling pathways (small GTPases to WASP to Arp2/3 complex) that control the assembly of actin filaments that drives forward the leading edge of motile cells. Independently, neurobiologists have identified key plasma membrane receptors for soluble and matrix molecules that guide the motility of neuronal growth cones to their targets during the hard wiring of the nervous system – approximately one million miles of neuronal process in the human brain! Throughout life, synaptic connections are remodeled by process that also appear to depend on actin assembly. Although these fields are working on the same process, communications have been minimal. One neurobiologist commented, "These groups have rarely, if ever, been seen in the same room". Our symposium will bring together leaders working on both actin-based motility and development of nervous systems, with confidence that mutually beneficial insights will emerge from discussing each other's work.

China Radio International, DBP to publish books on China's culture, history
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 8 -- Malaysia and China today further strengthened their ties through the publication of two books to get to know the culture and history of China.
The collaboration is through Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) and China Radio International (CRI) to publish the book "Kenali Xi'an" and "Koleksi Cerita Klasik China" which are expected to provide more information about the republic.
The launch of the book and the 'Kenali China' exhibition was officiated by DBP director-general Datuk Abang Sallehuddin Abang Shokeran, who described the collaboration as another opportunity for locals to understand the art and culture of China and its people.
"Malaysia and China have had a long-standing cooperation, via CRI. DBP sends its officers to assist CRI staff in mastering Bahasa Malaysia and vice versa.
"We hope the people will get to know more about the arts and culture of the Chinese people because we have a very close relationship," he told Bernama after the launch.
Also present were Bernama Editor-in-Chief Datuk Mokhtar Hussain, Cultural Counsellor of the People's Republic of China in Malaysia Zhang Zhen, Bernama Radio chief operating officer Azlan Idris and CRI Publisher and Representative in Malaysia Selina Dong Xiaoping.
Meanwhile, Selina said the publication of the books was an excellent way for Malaysians to obtain accurate information about China.
"We want to find an approach that is accessible to the public through publishing books, magazines, and videos on tourism or culture especially for Malaysians.
"Nowadays many people use social media and a lot of information is available. So we want to play a role in fostering mutual understanding between China and Malaysia with books of our own work, " she added.

Q: ¿ Cómo guardar valor de un select a un ? Soy nuevo en PHP, de JavaScript no sé mucho. Este es mi código
HTML
<input type="hidden" name="idArticulo"
  id="idArticulo"  value="<?php echo $row["idArticulo"]; ?> "/>

<select class="form-control" name ="sel_quantity" id="sel_quantity"
    onChange="mostrarValor(this.value);">
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

<input type="text" name="quantity"  id="quantity<?php echo $row["idArticulo"]; ?>"
  class="form-control" value="1" />

Ahora el codigo javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
        var mostrarValor = function(x) {
            //almacenar en la caja de texto
            document.getElementById('quantity').value=x;
        }
</script>

El problema es que cuando selecciono un elemento del select, la caja de texto no recibe nada.

A: Por lo que veo, necesitas que el ID dependa del idArticulo que traes de la base de datos, ¿cierto? En ese caso, te presento esta posibilidad con el mínimo de cambios a tu código:
<input type="text" name="quantity"  id=<?php echo "quantity".$row["idArticulo"]; ?>" class="form-control" value="1" />

Ten en cuenta que si haces esto, en tu función en Javascript debes de saber tambien como sera el ID de este input antes de tratar de asignarle un nuevo valor. Te pongo un ejemplo de como deberia verse:
<script type="text/javascript">
    var id_unico = "xxx";
    var mostrarValor = function(x) {
            //almacenar en la caja de texto
            document.getElementById('quantity'+id_unico).value=x;

        }

</script>

En donde id_unico deberia tener lo mismo que tiene $row["idArticulo"].

A: Veo dos problemas en tu código:

*

*
*

*No tienes bien cerradas las comillas en tu input, ya que estás cerrando las comillas dobles antes de hora, tendrías que combinar comillas simples y comillas dobles.
Quedaría así:
id="quantity<?php echo $row['idArticulo']; ?>"
                            ^          ^

*

*No estás pasandole el $row['idArticulo'] a la función, por lo que estás intentando referenciar un elemento (quantity) que no existe.
Para tener un código totalmente dinámico tendrías que pasarle este valor a la función y de esta manera poder referenciarlo después.
Te dejo un ejemplo de tu código simplificado y poniendo únicamente quantity como id del input.

var mostrarValor = function(x) {
     document.getElementById('quantity').value=x;
}
<select class="form-control" name ="sel_quantity" id="sel_quantity"
    onChange="mostrarValor(this.value);">
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

<input type="text" name="quantity"  id="quantity"
  class="form-control" value="1" />

A: El id de tu input no es 'quantity' sino quantity<?php echo $row["idArticulo"]; ?>. Mejor en lugar de depender del id puedes pasarle this a mostrarValor y ubicar el inout relativo a ese <select>. Por otro lado no veo la necesidad de alamcenar la función en una variable.
Ten en cuenta que este código depende de un <div> padre que representa a tu fila dentro de la tabla que estás haciendo, solo adáptalo al código que tengas y agrégale los tags de PHP necesarios que quité para que funcione la demo aquí.

function mostrarValor(select) {
  select.parentNode.querySelector("input[name=quantity]").value = select.value;
}
<div>
  <input type="hidden" name="idArticulo" id="idArticulo" />

  <select class="form-control" name="sel_quantity" id="sel_quantity" onChange="mostrarValor(this)">
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
 </select>

  <input type="text" name="quantity" class="form-control" value="1" />
</div>

You might wonder, how did you come up with the name Banana Moon Studio? I spent a day pondering what to call my business. What name would be interesting and true to my personality? While I was doing all this soul-searching, a favorite memory came to mind. When Drama Queen, my oldest daughter, was maybe 18 months old, we were driving home from my parents' house late one evening. There was a yellow crescent moon in the sky. Drama Queen was sitting in her car seat in the back of our little Toyota Carola, which we no longer have. She pointed out the window at the moon and said, "Beena", her word at the time for banana. It wasn't in a really excited voice, she was just calmly pointing out that there was a banana in the sky. When I remembered that, it hit me that "Banana Moon" was a perfect name! I thought at first "Banana Moon Stitches" or "Banana Moon Stitchery," but after an hour or so of thinking on it, I had it, "Banana Moon Studio"…Perfect!
So, here is my logo. I love it!!! I actually painted the colors onto a banana and then pressed it onto a sheet of paper. The kids thought this was very funny. Mommy doesn't usually do such silly things, after all, or so they think!
I am happily married to my best friend. We knew each other for a few years, and then dated for only 2 weeks before getting engaged. Yes, it was a crazy thing to do! We got married 6 months later in 2003. On the internet, I refer to my sweetheart as "Mr AC" for privacy. Obviously, that's not actually his name.
I have four daughters that are all pretty close in age. Their internet names, in age order, are Drama Queen, Princess, Lady Hops-a-lot, and Baby. I am very blessed to be at home with them full-time and to homeschool them. I view homeschooling as the blessing I never knew I wanted!
I am a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ and an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love to answer questions about my faith, so feel free to ask or you can visit http://www.mormon.org/ for answers.

Which is most likely to cause allergies?
Many fruit trees and plants with colorful flowers, such as roses and daffodils, have larger pollen grains that don't blow around. You don't need to worry about them. It's the tiny pollen that you can't see that causes sneezing and itchy, runny noses.
Pollen isn't the only problem, though. Some people are allergic to molds from compost and bark mulch as it breaks down. Buy finished compost if you have a mold allergy.
This pesky weed, which grows across the U.S., bothers 75% of Americans with pollen allergies.
If you have a ragweed allergy, watch what you eat and drink. Bananas, cucumbers, zucchini, melons, and sunflower seeds can cause you to itch and swell around your mouth.Your body confuses the proteins in these foods with the proteins in the plant.
Can showering at night relieve allergy symptoms?
It washes off pollen that might be in your hair and on your skin, and keeps it off your pillow and bed. An evening bath works fine, too.
If you've been outside when the pollen count is high, change your clothes near your washing machine if you can. That'll keep you from bringing the pollen throughout your home. Put them in the laundry before bathing.
It's also a good idea to keep windows and doors shut, and use an air conditioner with a HEPA filter.
Pollen allergies are only a problem in the spring and fall.
Trees put out pollen in the late winter and spring, and grass releases the sneezy stuff in the late spring and summer.
Weeds cause hay fever -- the common name for seasonal allergies -- in the late summer and fall.
Some people are allergic to pollen in cedar trees, which peak in late winter as well as spring. Warmer winters cause trouble for people with spring allergies. That's because their symptoms start earlier.
When are pollen levels highest?
Pollen levels usually peak between 5 a.m. and 10 . Plan outdoor activities for the afternoon, if you can.
Warm, dry, and breezy days help pollen travel. Rain washes it away, and counts are usually lowest during or just after a downpour.
How long before allergy shots help you feel better?
Don't expect to feel better right after your first one. Everybody reacts differently, but it usually takes 4 to 6 months of shots before you feel relief.
Most people's symptoms get better after the first year of the treatment.
Allergy shots contain a small amount of the thing you're allergic to, so your body can slowly get used to it and not react to it anymore.
Certain over-the-counter nasal sprays can make your nose stuffier.
Using an OTC decongestant nasal spray for more than 3 days at a time could make you more congested. When the effects of it wear off, the tissue inside your nose and sinuses could swell more.You might then use more spray -- making the swelling worse.
Consider using a steroidnose spray, which reduces swelling, if you're congested often.
What can you wear to protect your eyes from pollen?
If allergies are making your eyes watery, itchy, and red, consider wearing a hat with a wide brim when you're outside. It will help keep pollen from blowing into your eyes.
Wear sunglasses, too. And use saline drops after being outdoors to wash away any pollen from the lining of your eyes.
Moving to a different city will solve your allergy problems.
Taking a vacation might clear up your symptoms for a while, but moving won't make your allergies go away. Some plants and grasses grow all over the U.S., making them tough to escape. Andwithin a few years, you'd likely get allergies to plants and grasses near your new home.
Great job! Your results are nothing to sneeze at.
You took a shot and had a good reaction. Nicely done!
Looks like you need to clear up some facts about allergies.
