City Council Hearing Date for the Residential Infill Project Confirmed
SAVE THE DATE: Jan. 15, 2020, is first public hearing on updates to single-dwelling zones.Read More…
Phone: 503-823-7700
Curbside Hotline: 503-823-7202
1900 SW 4th Ave, Suite 7100, Portland, OR 97201
Since City Council approved a set of working concepts for the Residential Infill Project last December, the project team has been working with other City bureaus and local agencies to develop the draft Zoning Code and mapping amendments. Community members will get a chance to review and comment on those proposals in a few months.
Opportunities to review draft code and map concepts
Staff are planning a series of public review events this fall to share these draft ideas with the community before finalizing proposals for the Planning and Sustainability Commission's public hearings. The updated timeline below is included in the latest project summary sheet.
Now, let's clear up some misunderstandings …
We know this is a controversial project and some rumors have been circulating, especially on social media sites like Nextdoor. Because we don't respond to questions or statements on these platforms, we've created a series of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to address some of the misunderstandings. Here are a couple rumors the FAQs hope to dispel:
The project is not over; it is in midstream. Phase I: Concept Development has been completed, and we are now in Phase II: Code and Map Amendments. Phase I was completed last December when City Council accepted the Concept Report. The concepts in the report gave staff direction to develop a formal proposal as part of Phase II, which involves developing amendments to the Zoning Code and Zoning Map for public review this fall. After the community weighs in on a draft of code and map amendments during the summer, staff will prepare a Proposed Draft for the Planning and Sustainability Commission to consider and hold public hearings in the fall. The PSC will amend the Proposed Draft based on public feedback and their deliberations, then send a Recommended Draft to City Council for a decision in 2018. See the timeline above for the steps in each phase.
City Council will not be holding more hearings on the conceptual boundary of the Housing Opportunity Overlay zone. When staff met with newly elected Mayor Ted Wheeler to discuss the overlay concept boundary and mapping approaches, he gave staff new direction: Rather than go back to Council, he wanted the PSC to hold hearings on a refined overlay zone boundary and forward their recommendations to Council.
The Mayor also directed staff to use the conceptual boundary on page 14 of staff's Concept Report to Council as a starting place to begin further refinement of the boundary. To accomplish the boundary refinement, staff is working with representatives from PBOT, Tri-Met, Water, Fire, Police, BES, BDS, Metro and Housing Bureau. Potential boundary refinements will be based on infrastructure capacity, physical barriers, natural features and potential equity impacts. Project staff will share a draft boundary to Portlanders in the fall, before a proposed boundary goes to the PSC.

The purpose of our study is to help the Student Development and Counseling Center better understand student knowledge about the center as well as student willingness to use the resources available at the center. We found several links between demographics and knowledge of the center as well as willingness to go to the center. We found that men, students who live off campus or who commute, and students who are not very involved on campus are less likely to know about the center. The same groups are also less likely to be willing to go to the counseling center.

This discovery should speak for itself: Scientists have discovered a crazy example of a crazy thing at a crazy distance. We're talking about the furthest quasar yet - the incredibly bright light from a supermassive black hole 800 million times the mass of the Sun, from just 690 million years after the Big Bang.

A team of researchers announced their analysis of this quasar J1342+0928 today. The remarkable object originates from an era when the Universe looked very different than it does today. Its discovery could shed light, both literally and figuratively, on the origin story of the neophyte cosmos.
"By analysing this one object, we learn about the formation and growth of the first black holes, the production of dust in the galaxy hosting the black hole and about the Universe itself when it was only five per cent of its current age," Bram Venemans, researcher at the Max Plack Institute for Astronomy, told Gizmodo.
The ancient Universe has a complex story. Right after the Big Bang, the Universe became completely opaque as light bounced and scattered off of the particles in the hot plasma of unpaired protons and electrons. Somewhere around 400,000 years later, these particles bound together and the light could travel unimpeded, eventually reaching our telescopes. Scientists observe this ancient light as microwaves hitting Earth from all directions - it's called the cosmic microwave background. After that came a period where the Universe had lots of neutral hydrogen which emitted no light, called the Dark Ages.

A few hundred million years later, stuff began to glow as atoms condensed and released energy once again - including this quasar. "How that process happened and when exactly it happened has profound implications to how the Universe evolved afterwards," Eduardo Bañados from the The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science told Gizmodo.
The team noticed this quasar in a search through three surveys of the sky, then followed up with more specific probing from tools like spectrographs and radio telescopes. That way, they could determine properties such as the object's mass and age, and determine the potential rate at which such a galaxy with this object at the centre could produce stars.
They also noticed a signature of missing spectral lines - missing colours in the spectrum of light unleashed by the quasar likely caused by interactions with the neutral hydrogen of this "reionization" period Bañados described.
Daniel Mortlock from Imperial College London pointed out that the reonization conclusion is based on some modelling assumptions in an email to Gizmdo. However, it was "overall, a great discovery," he said. He felt it unambiguously proved the identity and age of the object, 80 million years older than the previous most distant quasar. He felt it would help scientists better study black hole formations and the conditions of the early Universe.
There's more work to do, of course. Bañados said that with one single black hole there are few conclusions to be made. Venemans said there's still much to learn about the dust itself, and that the size of the object couldn't be determined.
But with a distant light so bright, the team hopes to learn more using powerful new telescopes like the Atacama Large Millimetre Array in Chile and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. Bañados said: "This object is so luminous that it will be the subject of future studies where more surprises might come."

Family circumstances and a career opportunity he can't turn down are the reasons why Doug Plumb has stepped down as head coach of the St. John's Edge, with two games remaining in the regular season and playoffs around the corner.
The timing of the announcement Tuesday, that Plumb has walked away as Edge coach and Steve Marcus replaces him for the remainder of the season, is odd, to say the least.
St. John's, once winners of 11 of 12 games, have slumped of late, dropping three of their last four games as the team struggles to nail down a playoff berth.
Tuesday evening, the 30-year-old Plumb, a Vancouver native, confirmed he is returning to British Columbia to be with his ailing father, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease. As well, Plumb said, he's returning home to tend to his business, Academy Basketball.
"I feel sick about it in terms of the timing." — Doug Plumb
And speaking of business, the former University of British Columbia player said he has an opportunity waiting at home, one that he can't turn down.
"I feel sick about it in terms of the timing," he said of his departure from the Edge.
"But my Dad's Parkinson's is progressing quickly, and I want to be with him. He's my hero, my biggest advocate.
"And given the amount of energy I've put into the team, I've neglected certain things at home. With some real good opportunities coming up, I would have shot myself in the foot had I not acted on them."
Plumb's Vancouver-based Academy Basketball, which he co-founded with friend Mark Starkey, the former Nike brand director for North America, has become a going concern with a state-of-the-art facility planned.
Through Starkey, Plumb met Chris Brickley, trainer to the NBA stars, and has been in the gym with Brickley helping train the likes of Carmelo Anthony.
For the past couple of summers, he's helped former NBA star Carlos Boozer run his camp in Alaska.
Plumb joined the Edge last season as an assistant to Jeff Dunlap.
When Dunlap wasn't renewed this season — he later landed an assistant coaching job with the Cal State-Northridge NCAA team — Plumb was hired as head coach.
Plumb is the latest to leave the Edge in what has become somewhat of a revolving door to the team's dressing room.
So far this season, 25 players have appeared in at least one game for the Edge. Of the 10 players who dressed for the team's season-opening game Nov. 18 in London, Ont., only four remain — Junior Cadougan, Dez Lee, Jared Nickens and Satnam Singh.
In a pre-season interview with The Telegram, Plumb expressed his excitement about taking over as a head coach in the NBL Canada (prior to arriving in St. John's, he served as an assistant to Kyle Julius with the NBL's London Lightning in 2016-17).
"I'm a workaholic by nature," he said in November. "It's been fun ... a blast.
"I was with my girlfriend last year, and she'll kill me for saying this, but I'm alone this year and being at the gym all day is the best. There's nothing better.
"This is almost a dream job."
Following his playing days at UBC, Plumb toiled professionally for a couple of years in Hungary and Romania.
Marcus also served as an assistant last season, brought in by Dunlap after working as a graduate assistant at North Carolina State when Dunlap served as director of basketball operations at the university.
Before landing in Raleigh, N.C., the Springfield, Mass., native worked in basketball operations with the NBA G-League's Maine Red Claws.

This is our premiere solid axle performance rear suspension. The Mustang 4-link that is standard on our kits works great for street driving and drag racing. The 3-link was designed with the road racer in mind. It uses a panhard bar to locate the axle left to right and lower the roll center in the car. The adjustable upper link allows the pinion angle to be adjustable and provides a great increase in anti-squat. The 3-link is also standard equipment with Challenge Car kits.
The 3-link kit includes all bracketry (powder coated black), all links, and fasteners needed for installation. This kit is retrofittable into any solid axle equipped Factory Five kit, and if ordered with a kit, we will weld in all the bolt in bracketry.
This suspension can be used with stock lower control arms and shocks/springs, but with our lower control arms and coil-overs, you have an unbeatable package.
Applications: -All Mustang based FFR kits
Installation notes -If retrofitting, you must cut out the passenger side 4-link bracket and grind the frame smooth in that area. Retrofitting also requires the battery to be moved if it is mounted under the trunk.

What is recommended Internet connection speed for IPTV?
Your Internet needs to be minimum 7-10 MBPS Download and 1-3 MBPS upload speeds, If your home is filled with the latest bandwidth-draining devices, then you need a router that can keep up with your demands. From watching YouTube videos and playing the latest online games to downloading music and streaming movies, these demanding wireless activities require a fast, strong wireless connection to avoid dreaded lagging and buffering a least 10 mbps, however people with 5 mbps even 3 mbps has report no issues at all, some people with 100 mbps face connection problem, best way to test use your cell phone as hotspot and connect your box to your phone as hotspot, and try for a minute. however that might consume your data.
Please note that speed is not everything. Sometimes your ISP may be the root of the problem.
For testing your line quality, go to http://www.pingtest.net
For testing your line speed, go to http://www.speedtest.net
Internet service providers wants to sell you a faster internet connection, and they will make it pretty simple for you; "pay more every month and get faster Internet speed". But the big question is, do you really need faster internet?
Well, different entertainment providers have different requirements, and there are so many options when it comes to internet speed, and sometimes it's very difficult to determine or know exactly how much more you need to enjoy your preferred live TV show online or even download your favourite movie.
The answer to how much more internet speed you need lies on your online habits. So, if your online habit consists running multiple programs or connecting several devices, then you will need higher bandwidth as compared to someone who goes online just to stream single TV show or other activity that is considered to be light in internet usage.
Typically, the minimum connection speed of at least 5Mbps is required to enjoy watching TV online provided by most internet providers, but for successful live streaming such as HD or 3D, you definitely require higher internet speeds.
How to Know Your Current Internet Speed?
Knowing the internet speed that you require is very imperative because many internet providers charge premiums for faster speed. You may need to have a look at your internet provider internet service bills. You can also test your current speed by using speed test websites.
It is important to remember that the internet speed is usually measured at the device. This typically means that if you test your internet speed on your PC, and you find that it's significantly lower than your plan, then the problem could be the connection to your home network router. Also, it is recommended not to use wi-fi when checking your internet speed.
The digital revolution is heading for the living room, and made it possible to bring live broadcasts to you TV. Present forms of encoding used by BestTV provider use a compression system called H.264 standard. There is a further development to the compression algorithms called H.265 standard which will allow higher quality streams using less data, however, according to the BestTV provider this is not the case presently.
Best TV provider recommends an Internet connection at least 5 Mbps.
When using IPTV the fastest Internet connection possible is the most important factor for picture quality and stability. There are speed losses associated with using WiFI. This will depend on distance or placement of router. Loses in speed can be between 10-50%.
our recommendation before buying an IPTV player to do the Internet speed test.
Improve Your Connection
There are a lot of tricks that could help you improve your internet speed. You probably know that wi-fi performance can be bad on some days, so, connecting your computer with cable should give better performance. If you want to use other device and wi-fi one trick that might help you out would be restarting your router.
It is important to know that having several devices connected at all time could also slow your internet. You knew that but I just wanted to note it.

In my previous post I used the apex_item package to create a report with html input fields and checkboxes. In this blog I want to show a way to implement radio buttons in your report.
Radio buttons are very useful when you want to hand your users a limited number of options and you want to ensure that only one option can be selected. From a user point of view, a radio button is very intuitive. To implement them in an APEX report however, is a little less intuitive. To explain the implementation we will create a report on the "EMP" table where we use radio buttons to assign employees to a department.
To get started we'll create a report on the "EMP" table, but instead of the "DEPTNO" column we will select a set of radio buttons, one for each department number. The query looks as follows:
Note that we use rownum as index parameter. This ensures that all radio buttons on the same table row, have the same index, so only one radio button per table row can be selected. This provides a challenge later on, because we have to assess each row to determine what button is selected. This is a bit different than, for example the checkboxes in the first column of a tabular form, because they are assessed on column level, so you can refer to the f_array of that column to get each selected value.
Now that the report is set up, we'll create the jQuery function that loops over the report and check the radio buttons. In the end we want to update the "EMP" table, and assign department numbers to employees, so we'll create a function that looks at each table row, sees what department is selected and store the employee number of that table row in the appropriate page item. For example:
This function will be handled by a dynamic action. The dynamic action must be triggered by a click on either radio button, so we use the radio button class that we added in the query as the trigger of the function.
Now that we have our report and we can check which employee belongs that each department, we have to write an update procedure. For simplicity we'll use a page process that is triggered on submit of the page, for this we need a submit button and a page submit process. The update on the "EMP" table can be done in a number of ways; here we'll use the "STRING_TO_TABLE" function to map each employee number of a page item into an associative array, the "APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2". For the update we loop over each array and update the department for each employee.
And now we have a working report with radio buttons. You can check a working demo on my demo application. Of course don't forget to check the Oracle docs for more info on apex_items, or string_to_table.
Good luck!

Published at Tuesday, October 01st, 2019 - 12:59:04 PM. Storage Cabinet. By Foluke Okpara.
I think there are a handful of ways the cabinet could be improved but I can not complain about the finished product. It looks good, its strong, stable, and it securely holds the heavy gear I packed it with. I am considering buying a second one
I honestly do not know what others are talking about for difficulties assembling or the instructions. It's is absolutely impossible to assemble the panels backwards or wrong. The backs are identical and the sides are identical the only pieces different are the top and bottom. Put this together by my self in about an hour. Final tightening is best done with another person holding wrench but not impossible to be done alone. Cabinet is excellent quality. DO make sure you inspect the box for damage at the store and if you see any at all ask for another one or u will be bringing it back

An open letter to Republicans and Conservatives everywhere
In 1976 you failed to realize that the best person suited for the job as president was Ronald Reagan until it was too late. the price for your mistake was a suffering nation during the Carter administration.
In 2008 you have the ability to redeem yourself. The next Ronald Reagan is under your nose and his name is Mike Huckabee. Like Reagan he is seen as a threat by the establishment (which you might be apart of for all i know). Why is that? Well Mike Huckabee, like Reagan wanted to unite the country again and do so by bringing more than just Republicans into the fold. Every ideal of a Conservative Mike Huckabee stands for but he also wants to bring change so that every American benefits, not just the Republican party.
Are you really willing to go 4 years under Clinton or Obama cause that is going to be our fate if you keep this up. Our nation deserves better. I have no doubts that a Clinton or Obama administration will be much worse than Carter's for all of us! You're about to chop off your nose to spite your face yet again like you are a glutton for punishment. I figure you would have learned the lesson the first time.
By the looks of it right now you'll probably realize all this at the convention in St. Paul in September and by that time it will be too late to change course. And I'll be the first the say "I told you so." However I won't be laughing. I won't have any fun saying it. In fact I'll be in tears. I won't be crying for myself but for the nation I love so dearly. We will suffer much under Clinton or Obama. At least I will be able to say that I stood for what was right and I stool up to be counted and made the right choice and will do so again if we have a chance to redeem ourselves.
IF is a key word there.

Gov. Ventura Takes A Stand Against TSA
The former Minnesota Governor, Jesse Ventura, has filed a lawsuit to sue TSA and the Department of Homeland Security to get rid of TSA pat downs and scans because they violate the right to privacy.
Many Americans feel as though all rights have been stripped when it comes to TSA, and they're tired of watching grandmothers and young children being patted down at airports. The government no longer belongs to the American people because if it did, we wouldn't be standing in a line watching a 5-year-old pat down in a full body search, by some officer or agent, and doing absolutely nothing about it.
Jesse Ventura is suing because of the way he was searched by TSA and the violation of his rights. As a 6-year honorably discharged veteran, a former Mayor, and former Governor. The point he is making is that he is citizen dedicated to this country, who has been an airline passenger for decades without any discrepancy, yet he is required to submit himself for a violating pat down at an airport to get on a plane.
The case is not for profitable gain on behalf of Ventura, he just wants the government to stop violating American rights, and physically violating American passengers traveling in our country. Americans are being treated like criminals because they booked an airline ticket.
If nothing is done about this, they will continue to literally strip us of our clothing as the years go on. TSA and Janet Nepolitano, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, have done nothing but file a motion that the case is dismissed. The earliest a judge will see this case would be this summer, and then it will be determined if the government upholds 4th Amendment, the Constitution and Bill of Rights in this country.
While TSA pat downs seem like a minor element in the big picture, Ventura is right that if Americans don't put up a fight, we're going to continue losing our Constitutional rights, one after another. He's making a statement more than he is making a change, but we can hope he will instill the fight in others to get our government back.
This violation of our rights should have already taken place in the courts. The American people are like a bunch of sheep being led to the slaughter. I vowed to never fly again. I will not subject myself to this invasion of privacy. Israel seems to have everything under control…why; because they profile and the use trained people who can read people. Instead of doing this, the American government hires a bunch of crackhead high school dropouts, gives them a unform and a badge and unlimited ability to violate grandma's and little children. It's about time someone stood up the these communists.Posted by: O'Leary at July 12, 2012 12:40 AM
Nice shooting Tex.
I have always wanted to say that.
Where were all of you "red blooded American" whiners before the "Patriot Act" was passed?
"…because they profile and the use trained people who can read people…
So the white guys in their thousand dollar suits and the little grannies are cool, but folks of color that dress differently and people with funny sounding names not so much, right?
Rocky Marks; everything from you communists/anti-American boils down to racism, doesn't it. Well here's what the Israeli government does and it is successful. Let's see you dispute the facts instead of injecting your racist comments:
"Air travelers in the United States are now given two options at the security gate — be groin-groped by gloved Transportation Security Administration agents, or photographed "naked" in the back-scatter X-ray device that Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic calls "the porn machine."
Security officials should pay less attention to objects, and more attention to people.
The Israelis do.
They are, out of dreadful necessity, the world's foremost experts in counterterrorism. And they couldn't care less about what your grandmother brings on a plane. Instead, officials at Ben Gurion International Airport interview everyone in line before they're even allowed to check in.
And Israeli officials profile. They don't profile racially, but they profile. Israeli Arabs breeze through rather quickly, but thanks to the dozens of dubious-looking stamps in my passport — almost half are from Lebanon and Iraq — I get pulled off to the side for more questioning every time. And I'm a white, nominally Christian American.
If they pull you aside, you had better tell them the truth. They'll ask you so many wildly unpredictable questions so quickly, you couldn't possibly invent a fake story and keep it all straight. Don't even try. They're highly trained and experienced, and they catch everyone who tries to pull something over on them…
The system has its advantages, though, aside from the fact that no one looks or reaches into anyone's pants. Israelis don't use security theater to make passengers feel like they're safe. They use real security measures to ensure that travelers actually are safe. Even when suicide bombers exploded themselves almost daily in Israeli cities, not a single one managed to get through that airport."

"Rocky Marks; everything from you communists/anti-American boils down to racism, doesn't it."
And everything from the right wing fringers boils down to crack heads and communists doesn't it?
Virtually every flight in Israel is an international flight. In America there are literally tens of thousands of flights, just within our borders, every day.
Shall we make the 3.5 hour flight from LAX to JFK a 6 or 7 hour "experience", or do we just make those pulled out of line take a different flight?
"…the American government hires a bunch of crackhead high school dropouts…"
Oh, BTW, there is no hint of racism in that statement, right?
The question that arises most with Venture is why a guy who claims to be as tough and macho as he is could whine and cry so much. Why is that? And for a guy who claims to be as patriotic as he is, he sure does have a lot of theories about how evil and curropt the US government is.
This is a man who has given merit to the ideas:
1. 9/11 was either allowed or an inside job
2. The Pentagon was hit by a missile
3. Believes along with Alex Jones that the government has a plan for secret internment centers (FEMA camps)
4. That HAARP is a weather control device used to kill people by the US government
5. That the Denver International Airport is a key component in the New World Order
And when he's called out on this he whines and cries about how he's just a patriotic American asking questions. Shouldn't he be allowed to ask questions? Of course, but not without looking like an anti-American idiot.
Now he's coming out against TSA? Does anyone really want this guy as a spokesperson for the opposition against TSA practices? That's what I wonder. The guy's a public relations nightmare.Posted by: Adam Ducker at July 12, 2012 10:56 AM
Rocky Marks; you know, one of the problems with communists on th eleft is the ability to make everything much more difficult.
The left screws up the HC system, the public school system, SS, Medicare, the military, and even the DMV. Everything Democrats manage to get their greedy hands involved in, becomes corrupt and difficult. The TSA is a good example of government takeover and injecting themselves into our freedom. Like I said, I made a choice to never fly again; don't ride trains or buses; and when the government agents start stopping traffic on the highways, I will just stay at home. America deserves what they get. If you vote for Democrats and RINO's you can expect to lose your freedom.
Yes Adam, and he is also a Democrat. It wasn't many years ago, he was the darling of the Demcrtic Party in MN; and now he is another Democrat who has been thrown under the bus for voicing his opinion against the assaults on America's freedoms.
O'Leary, I believe I understand your complaints, even though they may be a little rough around the edges.
From you link, I am assuming you consider the TSA as basically minorities who are given the right to make life miserable for white people?
I'm not sure about that, although I do find it interesting that 21% of the TSA agents are black, compared to 16-17% of the population who are black. That is a high percentage.
I also agree that Israel has a handle on terrorism; simply because they have so much experience with it. I guess we could lear from them, but we have an administration who have shown themselves to be Israel.Posted by: Frank at July 12, 2012 11:14 AM
If Ventura was ever a Democrat that's news to me. He's certainly not a Democrat now and to my knowledge has never run for public office as Democrat. He might have voted Democrat at some point in the past. I fail to see how Democrats could throw him under the bus for any reason but a politician on the fridge like Ventura belongs under the bus.Posted by: Adam Ducker at July 12, 2012 11:46 AM
I can't understand why we won't racially profile in these situations. Can't we admit the primary concern is terrorists from the middle east? It's not the only danger in the world but it's the truth isn't it?
I don't see the personal inspections as effective or worthwhile but still this is whining. The right to privacy is largely conjured from stretched interpretations of the constitution and even so, the trauma of the search is greatly exaggerated.Posted by: Schwamp at July 12, 2012 12:45 PM
Adam Ducker, you are correct and I was wrong; Ventura was never a Democrat. He actually stated he had never voted for Democrats or Republicans. Although many of his platform beliefs mirrored those of the Democratic platform.Posted by: Frank at July 12, 2012 3:26 PM
Shall we make the 3.5 hour flight from LAX to JFK a 6 or 7 hour "experience"
Are you asserting that it isn't already? I fly quite often for my job and I can assure you that our current environment is anything but time friendly (or any other kind of friendly).Posted by: rhinehold at July 13, 2012 12:57 PM
BTW, most of the comments in this thread are 'irrelevant'. The problem is whether individual rights are being violated, and they are. Everything else is just noise, obfuscation and deflection. Like Adam asking where the 'whiners' were before the Patriot Act, just me people like Jesse and those interested in individual rights were against that (and previous laws like the RICO statues that it was built upon). That you can't get your head around that is a sign of how partisanship has invaded the discussion and why the Democratic Party is no longer the party of Jefferson…Posted by: Rhinehold at July 13, 2012 1:01 PM
"BTW, most of the comments in this thread are 'irrelevant'. The problem is whether individual rights are being violated, and they are. Everything else is just noise, obfuscation and deflection."
There is no right to fly, and those that are bitching the loudest knew the rules when they bought their ticket.
Even those subject to the way the Israelis do things give up the right to privacy when they choose to fly.
I too fly frequently for business, sometimes internationally.
I assume the inconvenience of the security checks as a part of the "convenience" of being able to be where I want to be in a few hours instead of days, and I know going in that if I want to fly I have to submit to the indignity of those security measures.
Life changed for Americans on Sept. 11th, and not for the better. Rights were lost, and the right to privacy was not the least of them.
With all due respect to Mr. Ventura, he is tilting at windmills and needs to recognize the reality of flying for what it is.
There is no right to fly, and those that are bitching the loudest knew the rules when they bought their ticket.
Following that logic, there is no right to walk down a street, but by walking down the street we are not subjected to unreasonable search and seizure. We can't just be patted down and groped without reasonable suspicion. The same goes for the airports.
The only one whining are those that think that we need to give up our rights in order to prevent some disaster, which is laughable at best…
I want to fly I have to submit to the indignity of those security measures.
Ok, so if you want to own a house in the United States, you should feel free to submit to a camera being placed in every room for security measures, right? Need to make sure you aren't doing drugs, beating your kids, making bombs or meth AND any home invasion would be immediately seen and recorded for later prosecution.
Are you ok with these things as well?
Life changed for Americans on Sept. 11th, and not for the better. Rights were lost, and the right to privacy was not the least of them.
Only because of people like you who don't value them. Congratulations on destroying America and giving the terrorists get exactly what they want.Posted by: Rhinehold at July 13, 2012 2:26 PM
The problem is whether individual rights are being violated, and they are.
Which individual right is that Rhinehold? The guy with the bomb's right to fly unhindered as he chooses to blow the airplane out of the sky or my individual right to fly between points A&B without getting blown up by this guy's bomb? His rights have to end before he gets on board not after.Posted by: j2t2 at July 13, 2012 3:12 PM
Sorry, j2t2, but the rights being violated are NOT those of bombers, but of innocent citizens without any probable cause. What you are saying is that it would be ok to place cameras in everyone's houses to catch those who make meth. It's not only an idiotic argument but it leads to further and further erosions of civil rights in the United States.
99.9999% of the people who fly on airplanes are NOT bombers. You cannot violate the rights of innocent people who have done no wrong and you have so suspicion of doing wrong to try to stop the 1 guy in a trillion who might try to bomb a plane.
Again, the terrorists win when you use that mindset.Posted by: Rhinehold at July 13, 2012 3:42 PM
"Following that logic, there is no right to walk down a street, but by walking down the street we are not subjected to unreasonable search and seizure. We can't just be patted down and groped without reasonable suspicion. The same goes for the airports."
Oh bull***t.
You aren't being patted down or groped unless you wish to board the airplane. You and I own the sidewalk through the taxes we pay. An airport is also public property, an airliner is not.
The airlines provide a service that is a privilege, not a right, to use. The airlines pay handsomely to use our public property and they should be allowed to feel secure about who uses it.
"Only because of people like you who don't value them. Congratulations on destroying America and giving the terrorists get exactly what they want."
Again hyperbole.
Security measures on airliners before Sept. 11th were totally inadequate. If you don't want to give up your right to privacy, you don't "have" to fly.
As for giving the terrorists what they want, I am sure they stayed up nights thinking of ways to keep people off of airliners.
Posted by: Rocky Marks at July 13, 2012 3:59 PM
Alright Rhinehold, let's try this one again:
Sorry on last post, wrong column.Posted by: Frank at July 13, 2012 4:44 PM
Oh bull***t.
Ah, the classy debate technique.
You aren't being patted down or groped unless you wish to board the airplane. You and I own the sidewalk through the taxes we pay. An airport is also public property, an airliner is not.
If the people groping you were not doing so under the auspice of a governmental laws/agency, the ones who are bound by the limits of the constitution, you MIGHT have a case. But it doesn't matter if the plane is private property if the government is the one requiring the patting down. Would you allow certain airlines to operate outside the TSA, allowing people to board the plane without the patdown/groping? If the security were in place entirely as a private enterprise, it wouldn't violate the individual's rights, but since that is not the case, it does.
Again hyperbole.
Sorry, no. The terrorists attacked us to instill fear into the population so that they would turn on the government and demand that their liberties, which they do not want us to have, be taken away from them. And we did exactly what they wanted, we caved to the fear.
Security measures on airliners before Sept. 11th were totally inadequate.
Inadequate for what? Security measures on airlines After Sept. 11th are also inadequate as well. They will ALWAYS be inadequate because people are smart and will find ways around it.
You do realize that if there were absolutely NO security on planes that 9/11 would still never happen again, right? It was a one off because we listened to our government to do nothing if a plane was hijacked. It was what we were told to do, and it led to 9/11. Any future attempts are going to result in what happened to flight 93…
Of course, that would take reason and logic, not fear and emotion. Not something that many are interested in this state of hyper-fear that the politicians are using to advance their desires of more power over our lives…Posted by: Rhinehold at July 13, 2012 4:52 PM

In most workplaces now, managers and supervisors are being asked to develop their coaching skills in order for them to manage and support colleagues and workplace relationships. Our 2-day coaching skills course is suitable for all colleagues, whether they are managers, customer facing staff or internal back office staff. Delegates have usually only ever been coached themselves and have never had any experience of having coaching conversations before.
In order for colleagues to be able to have coaching conversations they need to understand how they can bring about the best in people. The purpose of this course is to arm all colleagues with the skills to have coaching conversations in their profession. Delegates will find that once they have attended our training, they will use coaching skills daily and eventually it will become second nature.
It is often the case that people are tempted to provide someone with the solutions to their difficulties. Our coaching skills training will help delegates to guide colleagues to find their own solutions.
Some of the chief benefits of our coaching skills course
- It improves communication
- Can improve team morale
- Provides a support network in the workplace
- Improves productivity and emotional wellbeing
- Better customer service experience
- Can improve retention of employees
In our coaching skills training delegates will explore:
- The difference between Mentoring and Coaching
- The key coaching skills and competencies
- Skills Practice
- Psychological models and techniques
- How to manage difficult conversations
- Emotional Intelligence – Self-reflection, transference and projection
- Coaching models and theories
- Ethics, boundaries and self-awareness
- Stereotyping and unconscious bias
- What a coaching conversation looks like
- Relationship dynamics
Delegates will gain an understanding of what coaching skills are, when it is appropriate to use the skill set within the workplace and how to utilise coaching skills. They will also gain an understanding of many coaching and psychological models, gain an awareness of interacting with others as well as being able to self-reflect on their coaching styles. In most coaching courses the aim for delegates is to gain an understanding of coaching theories and competencies. Delegates are not often given the opportunity to practice these skills.
It is fundamental for delegates to be given the chance to develop their practical skills, which is why our course has a heavy skills practice element. After all those who attend will be using these coaching skills in their everyday working.
Our coaching skills for managers training gives you both the knowledge of theories and skills of coaching as well as the confidence to engage in coaching conversations.
Our methodology
Our coaching skills training course is tailor made to suit the needs of the organisation. Our trainers ensure that the needs of the delegates are met on the day of the training. They may include information or activities that are not usually included in the training for the benefit of the delegates.
Our trainers like to promote a fun, relaxed and interactive environment, where delegates feel they can openly discuss their ideas. They believe honesty and transparency is key for delegates to learn and internalise coaching skills and knowledge.
Throughout our training we use a variety of activities for delegates to engage in including scenarios, communication tasks, videos, demonstrations, role-play, group work and skills practice.
Our trainers bring their real life experience and allow delegates to reflect and engage in discussion with their peers.
Why choose our coaching skills training?
Our trainers are not just trainers, they are also practicing coaches and mentors, using their qualifications and skills daily. They have the best practical knowledge to give to delegates of how coaching skills work day to day.
Our coaches are also registered with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and are therefore able to provide delegates with up to date information about the coaching field, as well as current coaching standards.
Who is our in house training suitable for?
Our in house coaching skills training is suitable for all colleagues, not just managers, team leaders, etc. It provides them with the skills to have coaching conversations with other team members. Some organisations may select a few individuals from different departments, may wish to train whole departments or smaller organisations may wish for the whole organisation to be trained.
We recommend a maximum of 12 delegates per group. This is to ensure each delegate is receiving the required time to develop their skills, reflect and ask questions.
Next steps?
Either phone 01905 330055 to speak to one of our trainers or email email@example.com to find out more information about our coaching skills training.

One of the most important things to do as you make kratom a regular part of your life is to figure out your kratom "sweet spot". This will give you the best results from kratom without the negative effects of using too much. You'll also save money by not using more than you need. Here is exactly how to do this.
What Exactly Is A Kratom "Sweet Spot"?
The sweet spot is where a combination of factors results in a maximum response for a given amount of effort (Wikipedia). In baseball the sweet spot of the bat is the part which sends the ball the furthest distance when it makes contact.
In a similar way, a kratom sweet spot is the right amount of kratom which will give you the maximum results for the minimum amount. Think of it as getting the biggest bang for your buck. [Read more…]

Can you guess the trends that women make sure not to miss and take time off their busy schedule to get versed with? No matter how busy a female is, she confirms not to miss the makeup trends of every season and year to not only look beautiful but also to become eye candy in parties and gatherings. If you think that makeup is just to enhance the appearance, then get it right as makeup is for your skin care too.
Check out the makeup trends for the summers of 2019 stated straight by the best professional makeup artists:
• Clean and clear skin-
Clear and flawless skin with no foundation look is suggested this summer. Gone are the days of layers of pat sticks, concealer and primer. This summer use concealer at the blemishes of your face only. Instead of makeup, follow a cleansing routine and have a natural foundation on your face.
• Glowing Skin-

Confronting the Shadow Economy
Evaluating Tax Compliance and Behaviour Policies
Colin C. Williams
Chapter 11: Broader economic and social policies
Colin C. Williams
In this chapter, the argument is that using indirect controls to elicit behaviour change also involves the pursuit of broader economic and social policies. There is emerging recognition that the cross-national variations in the size of the shadow economy is strongly correlated with the wider economic and social environment, and therefore that changing this wider environment might shift work from the shadow into the declared economy (Vanderseypen et al., 2013; Williams and Renooy, 2013, 2014). However, what broader economic and social policies need pursuing in order to enable this to happen? The answer depends on which of three major competing theoretical perspectives one adopts. First, modernization theory asserts that there is a strong correlation between the shadow economy and economic underdevelopment and thus that the shadow economy can be reduced simply by pursuing economic development and modernization. Second, neo-liberal theory asserts that the shadow economy is significantly associated with high taxes, public sector corruption and state interference in the free market and therefore that the way forward is to reduce taxes, deal with public sector corruption and pursue deregulation and minimal state interference in work and welfare arrangements. Third and finally, political economy theory asserts that there is a strong association between the shadow economy and inadequate levels of state intervention to protect workers and therefore that greater state intervention in work and welfare arrangements is required.

Who among us didn't want a love interest in the same vein as the ones we saw in Disney movies when we were growing up? These films always brought a magical element to our hearts, what with all the quick solutions and happy endings they were all about. Disney films always carried a particular formula, but this formula would be bended to reflect a change in setting. However, kids would fall in line for the latest release regardless of what backdrop there was.
The biggest plus point on Disney's kitty has always been the couplings it has offered. When it comes to animated features, these films would conclude in happy endings wherein the male and female protagonist would have their big kiss. No matter how many times we saw this happen, we wanted this outcome to come to pass each time – it was that heartwarming.
Now that Disney has expanded to franchises far and wide from its initial animated movies, it also comprises of series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Surprisingly enough, the MCU characters also have traces of the Disney formula injected within them. Newer films have focused on live-action re-imaginings of animated films, and while these are still of the highest quality, they do appear to be in the same vein as the original animation in terms of delivery.
You can find the best and not-so-great couples found in Disney movies on this list. So, here are 15 Couples That Hurt Disney Movies (And 10 That Saved Them).
25 Hurt: Pocahontas And John Smith
Not only was this coupling historically inaccurate, it didn't get the treatment it deserved in the film either. In Pocahontas, she and John Smith fall in love with each other at random and she seems to be pretty okay being physically close to a man who is essentially a stranger, considering her modest upbringing.
The two don't end up together in the movie and in Pocahontas II she doesn't even contemplate about how John Smith would feel after she moves on to another man.
24 Hurt: Pocahontas And John Rolfe
Speaking of the other man, here we've got John Rolfe. Historically speaking, this is the person she should have been with from the start, although the real-life passing of Pocahontas was omitted for obvious reasons.
The reason why they weren't good together was that the film was awful.
Anyone could tell Pocahontas II was simply setting up the events for these two to fall in love and there was absolutely no subtlety in its attempts to do so. This couple also was too generic to be memorable in any way other than how boring it was.
23 Saved: Bruce And Natasha
Those who say they hate this relationship are those who just won't stop whining about how they wanted Natasha to be with Steve Rogers instead. However, as far as personalities should go, this one totally made sense. Natasha was used to being the commanding one, someone who would never show another person who she truly was. With Bruce, she had that opportunity and he, in turn, could feel safe with the secret of being the Hulk around her.
It was a nice love story that was ignored in Avengers: Infinity War and wasn't even mentioned at all.
22 Hurt: Anna And Kristoff
All those kids out there who just watch Frozen for the funny faces and songs won't have noticed how insufferably annoying Anna is. She can't shut up for two seconds and constantly drones on an on until you want to physically quiet her down.
The same way, Kristoff's manly man attitude wasn't very becoming either and he made the perfect match for Anna because they were both weak characters. The reason why they hurt Disney is that their presence made Frozen a chore to sit through. We'd rather watch Elsa.
21 Hurt: Scamp And Angel
Every direct-to-video film of Disney's earlier smash hits had the original protagonists' children as the main characters. And each time these children were so obnoxious you'd want to turn off the movie. The same way, Scamp was a totally boring character whose story was hardly worth watching and he ended up having a thing for another dog called Angel.
As one would expect, the family ended up a
opting Angel too, in the end, to give the film a happy ending, but we were just glad this forgettable couple would go back to obscurity. All we'd wanted was Lady and the Tramp.
20 Saved: Pepper And Tony
This is the only couple that has remained together starting from Iron Man in 2008 to Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Of course, they had a falling out in Captain America: Civil War and reconciled in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but that was for legitimate reasons.
The will they-won't they relationship they had until Iron Man 2 kept us interested over what would happen between these two. It's a shame we might not see them get married because of the events of Avengers: Infinity War, but we can be happy that these two loved each other until the end.
19 Hurt: Phillip And Aurora
This has to go in the hurt pile because of how utterly generic it is. Although you could forgive them for being so one-dimensional, considering that the film was released at a time when what we consider generic now was something revolutionary, this coupling hasn't aged so well.
Ralph Breaks the Internet even had a scene where Disney Princesses poked fun at tired tropes; all of which were seen in the coupling of Aurora and Phillip. You can find similar couples all across Disney media.
18 Hurt: Ariel And Prince Eric
Although The Little Mermaid was a fine film that can be watched to this day – the film was released thirty years ago in 1989 – the character of Prince Eric leaves a lot to be desired.
The guy was so gullible it got extremely frustrating. He easily believed Ursula to be a human even though she was clearly something sinister, and also fell for Ariel despite her random appearance in his life. Ariel, too, disregarded all her childhood life and family to be together with a man she fell in love with at first sight.
17 Saved: Simba And Nala
Unlike all other Disney couples, this one was hardly the focus of the film – which is why it ranks among the topmost of couples. Simba and Nala only started out as playmates when they were young and the romantic aspect came in when they had been separated for years and saw each other as adults.
It made sense why there was an attraction.
Someone you have a deep friendship with in youth is bound to appear attractive when you meet them again in adulthood. But Simba and Nala were great because their love story was kept on the down low.
16 Hurt: Cinderella And Prince Charming
Again, a pretty generic serving from Disney, and one that seems even more ridiculous than Ariel/Eric and Aurora/Phillip. Cinderella's whole story was about how she was oppressed by her stepmother and then ran out in a magical carriage to meet the Prince. However, it was insane that the Prince didn't even recognize her after the night had ended.
The fact that he was prepared to wed any woman whose foot fit the glass slipper just went to show he didn't really love Cinderella, just the idea of her.
15 Hurt: Kenai And Nita
Brother Bear had a sweet story where the bond of family was shown. Its ultimate message was touching as well where Kenai turned into a bear permanently to take care of an orphaned cub, all the while promising his real brother he loved him.
Brother Bear 2 threw in a lame love story plot that showed Kenai was in love with a human, who ended up becoming a bear like him so they could be together. It was a ludicrous plot that is more funny than charming.
14 Saved: Tarzan And Jane
Now, this was a good couple we got in 1999. Around this time, the age-old romantic plot was changed in order to bring more depth to the characters. And so, Tarzan and Jane fell in love because Tarzan was greatly appreciative of how she found him and taught him the best parts of being human.
Jane fell in love with Tarzan because she realized living in the modern world didn't hold any value when she could have everything in the wilderness.
13 Hurt: Mowgli And Kitty
If you thought Disney making live-action versions of its cartoons was a recent trend, then you're severely mistaken. Way back in the 1990s, The Jungle Book was released in live-action, featuring a grown-up Mowgli.
His love interest was a woman (Lena Headey before Game of Thrones fame) from the city who visited the jungle. It didn't work because no one wants to see an adult Mowgli, least of all a Mowgli who falls in love with someone else. Plus, a live-action Jungle Book just didn't seem right at the time.
12 Hurt: Belle And The Prince
Beauty and the Beast managed to avoid the generic coupling that Disney was known for and delivered a unique love story (read below for more on this), but its ending saw the Beast turn into his human form and this was when the generic aspect returned.
Not only did he have the same look every other prince had, but he also had none of the attitude that had made the Beast seem different. Had this character been there throughout the film, no one would have been interested in Beauty and the Beast.
11 Saved: Mulan And Shang
Ah yes, perhaps the most modern couple you could find in a Disney film and one where refreshingly you don't get the idea that the female really couldn't do without the male. Mulan was a revolutionary film that gave us a heroine with personality that showed we don't need a male hero to save a woman time and again.
The best part was that this film avoided the tired trope of the final kiss in Disney movies and left things ambiguous that Mulan even thought of Shang in a romantic way.
10 Hurt: Rapunzel And Flynn
You might love Tangled in the same way you love Frozen, but its couple also was as tiring to watch as Anna and Kristoff. Although Tangled was a million times superior to Frozen, it did invoke a trope the latter made fun of.
This was the trope where boy and girl fall in love within a day.
Rapunzel forgot any affection for her adopted mother and was head over heels in love with a guy she'd met only hours ago.
9 Hurt: Chicken Little And Abby
We know everyone loves to get offended at the little things nowadays, so we're sorry that we feel Abby was a scary sight to see. Then again, the entire Chicken Little film is a horror movie for someone who doesn't enjoy godawful films.
This couple was terrible because the film was terrible. The main character was so full of himself that you'd want to taunt him just like everyone else taunted him in the film. Looking back, no one even remembers a character called Abby even existing.
8 Saved: Roger And Anita
You could count either the animated version or live-action version of Roger and Anita from 101 Dalmatians for this point. We chose the live-action versions because they made the film all the more enjoyable to watch, considering the dogs in this film didn't actually talk.
Jeff Daniels was in superb form as the intimately likable Roger and Joely Richardson was just as sweet as Anita. The defining point for their characters was when they rejected a 7,500 GBP offer from Cruella to give away their litter of puppies.
7 Hurt: Judy And Nick
Zootopia was an absolutely phenomenal film and was made even more amazing due to the chemistry of the lead characters Judy and Nick. The fact they were of different species only made us love their dynamic even further.
The reason why it's in the hurt pile is that the fandom insists there is a romantic connection between them. This only sullens the friendship aspect the coupling has brought and making them a purely romantic couple will take away the awesome partnership they have.
6 Hurt: Giselle And Edward
This couple was deliberately made in a way that we would consider it an awful pairing. Enchanted showed in its beginning how generically Edward and Giselle had chosen to marry each other, despite meeting the same day.
It was only after Giselle arrived in New York City that she realized being your own person is more satisfying than just being the wife to a prince. Still, we got some hilarious moments where Edward couldn't adjust to life as a real person while Giselle awkwardly tried to show him around.
5 Saved: Fox And The Hound
Yes, we know these two weren't an actual couple; and no, we're not implying there were any undertones to their friendship. But the two characters had such beautiful chemistry with one another in their childhood days that you could consider them a platonic couple.
It made it all the sadder how it wasn't meant to be.
Unlike every other Disney film, The Fox and the Hound had a sad ending where the two never patched up and were separated. It did tell children that your childhood friends won't always remain with you into adulthood.
4 Saved: Belle And The Beast
We now return to Beauty and the Beast, only this time we have them in the opposite pile. This is because of how well the message of falling in love with a person's personality hit home as opposed to Disney's usual method of bringing together purely good-looking people.
Belle changing the Beasts savage ways was also a treat to watch, with their love story slowly unraveling, making for a touching tale. If we're being honest, he should've stayed in this form until the end.
3 Hurt: Edward And Nancy
These two had the perfect fairytale ending that Enchanted was poking fun at the whole movie. It was a sweet sentiment that showed there's nothing wrong with wanting a happy ending that doesn't include life's challenges.
However, this isn't a great couple because the two had absolutely no connection until the very final scene. Nancy, too, was a bland character who could just as easily have been set up to be the villain had the film wanted to go in that direction.
2 Saved: Hercules And Meg
In the same manner as with Simba and Nala, Hercules and Meg weren't the center focus of their film, which made their coupling all the more endearing. Unlike The Lion King, however, Hercules' ending had the climax deal with how the main couple got together.
Hercules would choose Meg over becoming the ruler of Olympus, signifying how grandeur doesn't equal happiness. It was also a nice change that showed a woman partner being older than the male one in Disney films, something we don't see in these movies.
1 Saved: Giselle And Robert
Finally, we revisit Enchanted once more to bring you the best couple from that film. People would love some magic in their lives, and Giselle did just that for Robert, who had grown to be extremely cynical due to the harsh reality of the world.
It was a perfect blend of reality meeting fantasy as Giselle grew out of being an immature fairytale character and Robert became open to miracles in the world. Add in the fact that they became a happy family and we have the best ending you could think of.

Daily Quote: " I dare to make more mistakes next time. I would limber up. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and skip more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more troubles, but I would have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I am one of those people who live seriously, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, but if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else, just moments,one after the other instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those people who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a rain coat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I'd travel lighter than I have. I would start barefoot earlier in the Spring, and stay that way later in the Fall . I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go rounds. I would pick more daisies. Nadine Stair, 86 years old.
Reflection: I still have time so I am going to do more traveling, spend more time in the mountains and at the beach. Continue to capture my thoughts and ideas in my blogging journal. I am going to worry less about money and more about enjoying the moment. I am going to spend more time with Grand Kids enjoying their wonder and fun.
