Guidance on Welfare-to-Work Formula Grant Eligibility, Participant Reclassification, the Welfare-to-Work/Workforce Investment Act Interface, and the 70 Percent Minimum Expenditure Requirement and 15 Percent Administrative Cost Limitation under the Welfare-to-Work Program
Purpose. To provide clarifying information and guidance >to Welfare-to-Work (WtW) grantees about 1) eligibility determination for formula grants for the period July 1 to September 30, 2000; 2) participant reclassification from the 30 percent eligibility category to the 70 percent eligibility category; 3) the WtW and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) interface; and 4) the proper calculation of the 70 percent minimum expenditure requirement for WtW funds.

Background. The eligibility, allowable activities, and reporting modifications contained in the 1999 Amendments have fundamentally impacted the operation of WtW formula and competitive grants. The staggered effective dates for the new allowable activities and the revised eligibility criteria for WtW participants under the 1999 Amendments resulted in a need for guidance on eligibility determination and enrollment issues for WtW formula grantees for the period July 1 to September 30, 2000. There is also a need for guidance on when a WtW grantee is permitted to reclassify individuals from the 30 percent eligibility category to the 70 percent eligibility category. Questions and answers on these issues have been posted on the WtW online Questions and Answers system (http://wtw.doleta.gov/qsanda.htm.) This TEGL conveys them as policy.
Similarly, the passage of WIA, and the nationwide implementation of WIA as of July 1, 2000, have created a need for guidance addressing the expected interface between the WtW Program and other WIA program partners. The attached questions and answers addressing these issues were first posted on the WtW online Questions and Answers system; their inclusion in this TEGL conveys them as official DOL policy.
Lastly, there has been some confusion about the WtW statutory and regulatory requirement that at least 70 percent of the total WtW funds allotted or awarded to an operating entity be spent upon individuals enrolled under the 70 percent eligibility provision. This TEGL reiterates that the 70 percent minimum expenditure requirement applies to a WtW operating entity's total allotment or award, not to a WtW operating entity's actual expenditures. This TEGL also restates that the 15 percent administrative cost limitation is similarly based on the operating entity's total allotment or award.
Eligibility Determination Guidance for Formula Grants for the Period July 1 to September 30, 2000. Section 801(e) of the 1999 Amendments contains effective dates for the new eligibility criteria and the new allowable activity, vocational educational training and job training, that are different for competitive grantees and formula grantees. For competitive grantees, the expanded eligibility criteria were effective on January 1, 2000.
The provision allowing pre-employment vocational educational training and job training was effective for competitive grantees on November 29, 1999, the enactment date for the 1999 Amendments.
Provisions relating to the eligibility of participants for WtW formula grants are effective on July 1, 2000, except that expenditures from allotments to the States must not be made before October 1, 2000, for individuals who would not have been eligible under the criteria in effect before the changes made by the 1999 Amendments.
Provisions authorizing pre-placement vocational educational training and job training for WtW formula grants are effective on July 1, 2000, except that expenditures from allotments to the States must not be made for this activity before October 1, 2000.
For formula grants, State and local areas may expend matching funds beginning July 1, 2000 for the newly eligible participants and the newly authorized services. Also, State and local areas may incur unpaid obligations within the normal course of business, beginning July 1, 2000, providing that the timing of those transactions ensures that drawdown of federal WtW formula funds to liquidate the obligations will not occur until October 1.
Five Questions and Answers (No. E28 through No. E32) have been posted online at http://wtw.doleta.gov/q&a/eligibility.htm under "Eligibility Questions." These Questions and Answers provide guidance on which individuals are eligible as of July 1, 2000, and clarify the time frame when Federal formula funds may be expended towards serving such individuals. Also, a new Question & Answer No. AA43 has been posted under "Allowable Activities" which describes the restriction on the expenditure of formula-allotted funds for the limited vocational educational training and job training activities. The described Questions and Answers are included as Attachments 1 and 2 of this TEGL and they are incorporated by reference as part of this policy guidance.
Participant Reclassification from the 30 Percent Portion of the WtW Program to the 70 Percent Portion. At least 70 percent of the WtW funds allotted to or awarded to an operating entity must be spent to benefit individuals meeting certain eligibility criteria described in 20 CFR 645.212. Operating entities may spend up to 30 percent of the WtW funds allotted or awarded on individuals meeting certain other eligibility criteria described in 20 CFR 645.213.
True to the intent of the 1999 Amendments, overall eligibility criteria for the WtW program has been simplified and new categories of eligible individuals have been added. Most notable is the elimination of the barriers individuals must meet to be enrolled in the 70 percent portion of the program.
It is now sufficient that Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients simply either 1) have received assistance under the State TANF program for at least 30 months (whether or not consecutive); or 2) within twelve (12) months will become ineligible for benefits due to a Federal or State-imposed time limit; or 3) no longer receive TANF benefits due to the imposition of Federal or State-imposed time limits.
The criteria for noncustodial parents have also changed. It is expected that all new enrollments of noncustodial parents will be in the 70 percent portion. Those who are currently enrolled under the 30 percent portion may be re-classified and enrolled under the 70 percent portion if they meet the new eligibility criteria for noncustodial parents.
Before passage of the 1999 Amendments, we provided guidance to operating entities on reclassifying individuals from the 30 percent eligibility portion to the 70 percent eligibility portion. This earlier guidance concerned individuals whose circumstances changed, such as attaining the 30 months on TANF needed to meet the 70 percent criterion, and individuals who may have been misclassified when enrolled. Question and Answer No. E27 provided guidance on transferring such participants from one portion to the other as well as the relevant reporting instructions.
We revised Question and Answer No. E27 to add new scenarios posed by the 1999 Amendments as discussed above. Basically, in certain circumstances, enrolled individuals may be transferred from the 30 percent portion to the 70 percent portion. The operating entity does not have to re-determine an individual's eligibility after the effective date of the 1999 Amendments, but does need to document in the participant's eligibility file the reason for the transfer and the information needed to support the reclassification. The revised Question and Answer No. E27 contains the accompanying reporting instructions for each scenario and is included in this TEGL as Attachment 3, which is incorporated by reference as part of this policy guidance.
WtW and WIA Interface.
WtW/WIA Questions and Answers. We posted a series of Questions and Answers about the changes necessitated by the implementation of WIA on the WtW website at http://wtw.doleta.gov/q&a/wiaquestions.htm as a separate part of the WtW Questions and Answers. These Questions and Answers are found in Attachment 4. This same Question and Answer series is included as a subpart on WIA implementation found at http://www.usworkforce.org/asp/qanda.asp. They are transmitted as policy guidance for the WtW competitive and formula grant programs via this TEGL.
The major thrust of this series of questions concerns the transition from local service delivery areas to WIA local areas and the transition from Private Industry Councils (PICs) to local workforce investment boards (local boards) in those local areas. For purposes of WtW, this change was foreseen and earlier amendments to the Social Security Act (contained in the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 (Pub.L. 105-277)) provide that the operating entities may be either PICs or the successor local boards. The WIA legislation calls for the WtW Program to be a partner in the One-Stop system under WIA. Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) are required between the WtW operating entity and the local board to cover coordination, referrals and resource allocation pertaining to the operation of the One-Stop system in the local area.
We recognize that there may be a change in geographic configuration during the transition from service delivery areas under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) to local areas under WIA. Question and Answer No. 5 and No. 6 in Attachment 4 discuss such a situation, and provides that States are required to redistribute WtW funds as a result of such changes. This redistribution should occur within 30 days of the implementation of WIA or as soon as possible. Further, States should submit a modification of the State WtW formula plan to reflect the redistribution of the original allocation(s). Such modifications should be submitted to appropriate Regional Office as soon as the redistribution has been made.
Novation Agreements. If the geographical areas are the same under JTPA and WIA, the PIC operating a formula WtW program should enter into a "novation agreement" with the local board which is the new administrative entity. State formula grantees should ensure that such agreements are entered into promptly in the local areas in accordance with the State's overall administrative responsibility for the WtW Program.
A copy of the instructions regarding Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements, published in the Federal Acquisition Regulation(48 CFR Ch. 1 Subpart 42.12, October 1, 1999 edition), is included as Attachment 5. These instructions should be used in accordance with guidance provided in WtW/WIA Question and Answer No. 4 and No. 5 on the transfer of responsibility for WtW grants from a PIC to a local board. For purposes of WtW, references to the Administrative Contracting Officer means the State administering entity.
Liability. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 established the WtW Program. The statute named JTPA service delivery areas as grant recipients. PICs were identified as presumptive administering entities under the Formula Grant portion of the WtW Program. PICs were also allowed to compete under the competitive grant portion.
On July 1, 2000, JTPA expired. As discussed above, amendments to the WtW statute identified local boards established under WIA section 117 (including alternative entities meeting the requirements of section 117(i)) as eligible WtW operating entities. With the expiration of JTPA, PICs ceased to have legal authority to continue as the statutorily named board to oversee employment and training programs in a particular community.
With the implementation of WIA, the Chief Elected Official (CEO) determines who can now oversee the WtW formula or competitive grant programs previously overseen by the PIC:
In most cases, the CEO will choose the successor entity local board to oversee the WtW Program(s). This is accomplished through a novation agreement by which a PIC transfers WtW funds, assets and responsibilities to the new local board.
In some cases, the CEO may select the PIC (although no longer statutorily authorized as an employment and training oversight body with the expiration of JTPA) to continue to exist as an independent service provider, incorporated to operate programs and carry out other tasks. A CEO may wish to have such an incorporated, independent PIC serve as the WtW grant recipient.
In other cases, the CEO may wish to have some other organization as grant recipient to oversee the WtW Program(s) in his/her community. In such as case, the CEO will have to coordinate with the Governor to request a waiver under 20 CFR 645.400, to designate the other organization as an alternate local administering agency.
Any of these choices rest with the CEO. No matter which choice is made, the CEO is responsible and liable for WtW funds at the local level.
Because local boards are considered the successor entities to PICs, the CEO must consult with or otherwise notify the State level formula grantee of any local formula grant recipient designations other than local boards established under WIA section 117. The State level formula grantee has the responsibility of notifying the Department of Labor and requesting a State WtW formula grant modification when:
A local board chosen to oversee the WtW formula grant program at the local level has replaced the PIC, but now has a changed geographical jurisdiction from the service delivery area that PIC originally covered. In such instances, funds should be redistributed to the new local areas as soon as possible using the existing formula; or
A designation to oversee the WtW formula grant program at the local level is made to any organization other than the local board established under WIA Section 117.
In cases where the PIC is also a competitive grant recipient, the CEO has responsibility for notifying the Department of Labor when he/she chooses any entity other than the local board established under section 117 of WIA to oversee a competitive grant previously overseen by a PIC. (Note: it is possible the CEO may designate a different entity to oversee the competitive grant from the entity in the area that will oversee the formula grant).
Application of the 70 Percent Minimum Expenditure Requirement and the 15 Percent Administrative Cost Limitation. Direction provided in Question and Answer No. AF7 on the WtW online questions and answers system, and in the WtW Financial Management Technical Assistance Guide (TAG), created some ambiguity about the base against which 70 percent minimum expenditure requirement, discussed above, is to be calculated. If the grantee is unable to attain the 70 percent minimum expenditure requirement, there may be an administrative finding. The Department of Labor has discretion about how such administrative findings may be resolved.
As stated in 20 CFR 645.211, the calculation of the 70 percent minimum expenditure requirement, as well as the related 30 percent maximum expenditure limitation, is applied against a base of the total amount of funds allotted or awarded to the WtW operating entity. The minimum expenditure requirement is not calculated against a base of the total amount of funds expended by the operating entity.
The WtW regulations, at 20 CFR 645.235(a), limit the expenditure of WtW funds for administrative purposes to no more than 15 percent of the grant award. Similar to the measurement of the 70 percent expenditure requirement, the base against which the 15 percent administrative cost limitation is applied is also the total amount of funds allotted or awarded to the WtW operating entity. Expenditures for administrative costs will not be measured against total expenditures.
Question and Answer No. AF8 correctly conveys what base the administrative costs limitation applies to. However, this Question and Answer was responding to whether the planned or the actual expenditures at the end of three years would be the basis for determining compliance. The answer notes: "The 15 percent administrative cost limitation applies to actual expenditures, as compared with the total grant award amount, as determined at the end of the three year period." (Emphasis added). This language did not imply that the limitation would be adjusted based upon the level of expenditures; it meant only that actual expenditures on administration would be the measuring rod instead of planned expenditures. To resolve any misunderstand- ing based on the highlighted language in the Question and
Answer, this TEGL makes clear that the administrative cost limitation will be measured against the total amount of funds allotted or awarded. The regulations at 20 CFR 645.235 (a) and (b) affirm the statutory intent that administrative expenditures are limited to 15 percent maximum "of the grant award" for both formula and competitive grants.
Should the total amount of the grant award be reduced because of difficulty in meeting the match requirements, or due to voluntary or involuntary return of grant funds to the Department of Labor, the administrative cost expenditures and the 70% minimum expenditure requirement will be measured against the total amount of funds awarded or allotted, adjusted by the reduced allotment, at the end of the program for compliance purposes.
The two Questions and Answers referred to in this section (AF7 and AF8) will be revised for clarity and will refer to this TEGL for further guidance.
Action Required. States should provide this guidance to appropriate staff.
Inquiries. Inquiries on this TEGL should be addressed to the appropriate Regional Office contact, which can be found at http://wtw.doleta.gov/resources/regcon.htm.

Preparing Your Creative Business for Impressive Holiday Sales
Get ready, get set, GO!!! Let's face it, there's MILLIONS of artists, designers and makers clammoring to sell similar artwork so it's important to me that my DABI members are better prepared for the biggest growth opportunity of the year. With Halloween on the horizon, October is the month where people begin to think about holiday purchases so use September to detail innovative and "doable" marketing strategies.
Customer. As always, it's necessary to know your customer. Where are they? What state/city? What are their specific needs as it relates to your product/service? Where do they shop? What do they spend on your type of product/service? What do they dislike and like about your competition's products/services? How are you better and how can you make; their lives easier; them feel better; or save them money or time? [Don't know your ideal client? No fret. I can help you with this part of the business puzzle]
Once you have all of that information, use it. Jot down the type of promotions that would work best for your company and your consumer and the words you can use to speak to them. Where will you promote? Social media? Direct mail? Trunk show? All three? Set your monthly budget then begin to detail the campaigns.
The BEST Way to Market Your Business, Use Sneezers
Images. We are visual creatures so clear images that show your business, products, service being used, happy clients, retail facility or studio are imperative. Try not to use stock photos if possible. Your image(s) should be minimum, 300 dpi for printed materials and if you add text, keep the finished design simple. I see too many poorly designed flyers that make my eyes jump around the page so much that I stop reading from dizziness. Also, design using a size that can be manipulated to work across many social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter. [Need better designs? I have an exceptional graphic/brand designer for you]
Community. Who can you partner with to showcase your product/service during the holiday months? Are there retailers who would want you to participate in a trunk show? Would a home show make sense for you? If you're a retailer, what about a "block party"? A service provider can partner with product providers to bring diversity to their offerings. Scope out local or regional marketplaces that would allow you to set up a table. There are always an abundance of local holiday fairs to choose from but make sure you know your consumer well before you sign up. Will your ideal client attend that particular event? What type of vendors have done the show previously? Does this holiday fair align with your brand and price points? Don't waste your time or money at fairs or festivals that won't bring you sales or value. [check out my Fairs & Festivals: Step-by-Step Success MP4 for money-making strategies and a detailed checklist]
Panicking During the Holiday Sale Season? Here's 10 Way to Help You Breathe Easier and Sell More Art.
Publicity. What media outlets do you know of that offer shopping guides? Reach out to them with an introduction, now. Don't wait until November. Would you benefit from being involved in a charity event during the holidays? Maybe you can participate in a community outreach program or collaborate with a corporation, interior design firm, furniture store, gallery or a larger company. Begin to brainstorm community partnering ideas and reach out to begin a dialog. After you set up the event details, design a press release and research the names of a few, targeted journalists. [If you need a Michigan-based, PR expert, I've got you covered]
Money. Yeah, I know your business is your "baby," you're passionate about what you do and for some of you, aligning your art with money seems "dirty," but if you don't make money your business won't survive, so let's talk profits. Double check your cost sheets or financial plans to make sure that you're making a profit from each product/service you offer. [not sure if you're profiting or how much? I can help you.] If you find an item or two that you can discount, create a promotion around it. What about raising your prices for the holidays? It depends. Are you due for a price hike? If not, you don't want to gauge people especially because it's supposed to be a "giving" time of the year. Plus the start of a new year is better for price changes. Why don't you think about making a gift basket of sorts by combining products/services for a bulk price? Realize that if you do the holidays right, you can stand to make a great deal of revenue which will support your business during the notoriously slow January and February retail months. Also, since we're talking money, don't forget that mid-September is tax payment time, for those of you who pay quarterly and check to see if you owe sales tax to your state as well [each state has different rules].
Ready to make more money with your art? I invite you to join Mind Your Art Business Growth Course. I've developed this very affordable accelerator for artists who want to end their frustration and increase their sales. My deep-dive but easy to understand course covers every aspect of your art business and is available, 24/7 for ONLY $30/class!

Welcome to Police Officer Tyler Larson:
• Theft & Assault Crime trends in Eau Claire's South District, which we are a part of, are down. Bike thefts up primarily due to this is typically the season for them. If bike is stolen give the property officer a call to see if a bike was found. Write down the bike's serial number, which is located under the crank area and that makes it easier to identify.
* Fireworks this year had a 20% reduction in cases city wide.
* Boyd Park – Rarely is there a violent incident at Boyd Park. This question was asked since a few neighbors put it as a concern on the recent survey.
Secretary's Report: for the June 21 minutes approval. Mark Ruddy will contact those who haven't approved the minutes yet. Two changes were suggested by Carey.
Treasurer's Report: No report was given but there is a $20 check for humanKind. Also was approval to reimburse Laurie Lyne $50 for herbicide certification and safety equipment she purchased.
Old Business:
Analysis of survey with Lori Bica: Lori and Association members went through the survey responses. There were questions regarding humanKind, Boyd Park and the neighborhood in general. There were extensive responses regarding improvements that could be made. About 330 completed surveys were received and categorized by Lori.
Welcome to Mike Paulus: Mike discussed the East Hill website with us. The current site is 7 years old and updates should be made. One would be an upgrade on Word Press with new template. Some suggestions from Mike and the members was possibly letting others do parts of the website to help Mike out. Possibly having someone work with events, newsletters, facebook, etc. Also need to make the website mobile friendly, which at the current time is not. The Association gave Mike the approval to get the software that he feels would be best for our needs.
Eau Claire River Access: Chris Buske gave update on the next steps to improving Boyd Park/River Access. Waiting to see if Chris Silewski from Ayres is able to put together a plan for the park. Before we can proceed with grants we need to have a general plan for overall improvements. Not sure if we can use Chris of Ayres for this or not. It would cost approximately $7,000 for total park plan. Chris S. is working with Jeff Pippenger, (Parks Dept.) to sort out what would be needed. Discussion was made regarding the neighborhood getting mixed responses for the city and less support than we'd like.
Kubb Tournament: Eric Anderson thanked the Association for their help setting up the Kubb Tournament. We had it done in record time. Eric paid us $300 for our group work.

Bush signs act allowing NASA more shuttle time, money, Houston Chronicle
"The bill also solidifies funding for nine shuttle missions to the space station and it extends the agency's involvement in the space station until 2020.

No laughing matter
In the video, the two teenagers laugh and giggle after one of them brandishes two guns. But by Friday, after the police had moved in, the laughter was over. One of the boys was arrested. The question of the initiation of criminal charges is one that will have to be considered on the basis of policy and practicality.
It would be a shame for a 17-year-old to have a charge against his name for all posterity based on an act of juvenile delinquency. And this is the stark decision which lawyers in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions as well as the police face when dealing with matters involving minors.
Should children be subject to the full weight of the law? Or is an arrest with a warning enough? How do we determine what will be in the best interest of the child and society at large? Should we deal with misbehaviour by resorting to court proceedings? Or is there a more effective means of intervention that will make a meaningful difference in a child's life? Does it make sense to blame a child – who is yet to fully mature mentally or in terms of worldly experience – for his troubles? Do some children benefit from so-called tough love?
These are some of the questions officials in the criminal justice system will this weekend be mulling over in relation to these two boys who were filmed bragging about being in possession of firearms.
The video clip which showed the pair brandishing the weapons and boasting about "doing it mad" lasted only 16 seconds, but the impact it will have on their lives will endure for many years to come. The clip shows a degree of gross recklessness that is difficult to understand, even if we factor in their youth.
Perhaps one explanation for this dangerous behaviour is our society's tendency to glorify guns and gun culture.
The glorification of guns is not an inherent part of our society. We are a peaceful people. We take pride in our warmth and vitality; tourism is a major part of the economy in Tobago; and Trinidad is completely dominated by the annual Carnival celebration. Over centuries, we have honed a unique vernacular, a distinctive cuisine and a melting pot society that abhors violence, even as it becomes more and more prevalent.
Guns are not objects ordinary households are accustomed to coming into contact with. Unlike countries like the US, there is no right to bear weapons. We are more in line with the society of our former British colonial master which has effectively banned guns. So why do young boys like guns so much? The answer is a complex combination of factors. Culture has tended to glorify acts of violence as acts of power. A gun is seen as a thing that gives its holder a certain status, even if the discharge of a gun can be a cowardly act in itself—ending engagement without true tackling of a situation. But to this must be added the dimension of gender.
Young boys in particular are taught that it is male to be concerned with violence and aggression; to have toys that echo military complexes; to speak in a certain gruff and assertive manner; to walk a certain way; to dress a certain way. Are we really surprised that two youngsters have managed to get a hold of guns when, at Christmas time, one of the most popular things gifted to boys is a toy gun?
But most troubling is this question: how did they get the guns? A full investigation must be launched.
Not only it is unlawful and wrong for guns to be obtained without proper licensing, it is morally unconscionable for any adult person to hand a gun to a child or to leave such a weapon unsupervised or vulnerable to interception by a minor.
The boys may have gotten kicks from their video, but this is no laughing matter. Not at all.

This post was sponsored by Ling Ling, all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Read on for fun info about how to celebrate the Chinese New Year with potstickers and then download your free printable Chinese red envelopes for your celebration!
The beginning of the Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival celebration is coming up on February 5. We've never celebrated the Chinese New Year in our family, but recently I learned more about the activities, food, and fun involved with the holiday and thought it would be interesting to share what I've learned with you!
Traditional Chinese New Year food
My favorite part of the Chinese New Year celebrations would definitely be the food! I love Chinese food, and the traditional celebratory food does not disappoint. Every area and household has their own traditions, but the most common new year dishes include:
- Spring rolls
- Dumplings
- Noodles
- Steamed fish
- Steamed chicken
- Nian gao (a rice cake, or New Year cake)
- Vegetable dishes
- Hot pot
If you are looking for an easy and delicious way to celebrate the Chinese New Year, I highly recommend the Ling Ling Potstickers. Potstickers are a type of dumpling that is pan-fried on one side and then boiled in water. Ling Ling potstickers can be found in the frozen section of your grocery store and are really easy to make. They come complete with a signature dipping sauce and are made with high-quality ingredients full of authentic Asian flavor.
The potstickers from Ling Ling come in 3 varieties: Chicken & Vegetable, Pork & Vegetable, and Vegetable. We have tried all 3, and they are all
The year of the pig
At some point, you've probably been exposed to the Chinese Zodiac. Like the astrological zodiac signs, there are 12 Chinese zodiac animals. However, they represent the birth year, not the birth month. Last year was the year of the dog, and 2019 is the year of the pig. If you or your spouse were born in the year of the pig, you would think that this year would be good luck, right? Nope! Instead, it is thought of as a year you need to overcome evil spirits and bad fortune. In some areas, a married man will need to be accompanied by his wife when he goes out at night during his year. That fun little tidbit isn't the only thing married couples do for the Chinese New Year celebration.
The Chinese New Year and married couples
- Traditionally, a woman wouldn't visit her family on the New Year as it is a sign of marriage problems. Instead, she would visit on the 2nd day of the celebration.
- During the Lantern Festival (a celebration on the last day of the Chinese New Year), Sky Lanterns were traditionally gifted to newlyweds or couples who do not yet have children as a blessing for children.
- Red packets (or envelopes, or pockets) filled with crisp new bills are traditionally given to children to pass on good fortune. Instead of gifting the red pockets to children, in some areas married couples give red envelopes with money to their unmarried friends to transfer good luck to them.
Make your own Chinese red envelopes
If you'd like to spread your married good fortune to your unmarried friends and family, just download and print the first page of my envelope template (download at end of this post) on red paper. I used red cardstock so the envelope would be more sturdy. Turn the paper over and print the second page of the template on the back of the first page. Then grab some scissors, glue and some optional red envelope embellishments.
Follow the instructions on the template to create your envelope. I've already included the Chinese symbol Fú 福, or good fortune, on the front of the envelope. You can leave it as is, or embellish the envelope with gold or black accents. I used two different gold tapes to brighten up my envelopes.
Celebrate the Chinese New Year with friends and family
Will you be celebrating the Chinese New Year this year on February 5? If you are, you should definitely grab some Ling Ling potstickers for your celebration. Don't forget to share your good fortune with your unmarried friends by gifting money in my free printable red envelopes!
Download your free envelope template by filling out the form below. I hope you have a great Chinese New Year!

Wright's Home For Loren Pope In Mt. Vernon
Original Owner: Loren Pope
Address: 9000 Richmond Hwy, Mt Vernon
Date Built: 1939
In 1939 Loren Pope, a $50 a week copy editor for the Washington Star, wrote Frank Llloyd Wright asking for the architect to design a house for him. Wright replied within a few weeks: "Dear Loren", he wrote, "Of course I am ready to give you a house."
Pope soon found that local banks were not so eager to finance his dream house. The banks found the design too unorthodox to fund; eventually Pope worked out an agreement with his employer to finance the house, which cost $7,000.
The house is an L in plan, with the longer arm containing two bedrooms and a bathroom; the shorter containing the living room and dining area. The entrance, study and kitchen are located at the juncture of the two wings. Wright opens the private side of the house to the outside by using tall glass doors and banks of windows. The house is designed on a 2 by 4 foot rectangular grid which is scored into the Cherokee red concrete floor. The wood of the house is cypress.
Pope and his family only lived in the house for 6 years, then he decided to move to the country and pursue farming. New owners Robert and Marjorie Leighy moved in in 1946. In 1961, the state of Virginia informed them that their house was condemned to make way for Interstate 66. Robert died in 1963, unsure what the fate of his house would be.
But Marjorie Leighy decided that she wasn't going to stand by while the state destroyed the house. Eventually she arranged an agreement with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Leighy donated the house to the National Trust, who arranged to move the house to the grounds of Woodlawn Plantation, a 127-acre National Trust Historic site in Mount Vernon, Virginia.
In 1964, the house was dismantled in sections and reassembled on a slope at Woodlawn. In the mid 1990's the house began to exhibit structural problems because of unstable soils beneath the building. The house was again relocated a short distance, reopening in the summer of 1996.

Brilliant and Balanced, Ma Rainey Raises the Roof
Court Theatre presents:
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
by August Wilson
directed by OJ Parson
runs thru October 18th (buy tickets)
reviewed by Paige Listerud
In the Court Theatre program introduction to their production of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, director Ron OJ Parson contrasts his previous experience at Court with August Wilson's The Piano Lesson. "Working on Ma Rainey's Black Bottom has been a different kind of experience . . . it feels to me like the work of a younger playwright . . . Ma Rainey's is fast and brash like Levee, its central character."
Not a bad analogy, between protagonist and play. But it's not as if Wilson's first major drama shortchanges the audience in layers of dilemma and meaning. Parson, for his part, deliberately and meticulously draws out every nuance and tier possible between those characters with power and those with less, and less.
John Culbert's weathered, stressed and architectural set design surely assists Parson in establishing the play's hierarchies of privilege and power. At its very bottom, the musicians wait and wait for Ma Rainey (Greta Oglesby), the Mother of the Blues, to arrive and hold court—at least for as long as the recording session goes on.
Time and generational differences, as much as races or genders, hold the crucial center to this play. The older musicians of Ma's band, Toledo (Alfred H. Wilson), Cutler (Cedric Young), and Slow Drag (A.C. Smith) have long since learned how to bide their time by swapping stories and friendly BS; choosing the path of least resistance seems to be their life-long technique for deliberately surviving arduous, uncertain times and territory. But their low-key endurance may be too much for Levee (James T. Alfred), who aspires to make his mark with his own jazz compositions and band. To him, such coping strategies smack of compromise with the thousand indignities being black was (is) heir to.
Levee has far more going on with him than simple impatience or cocksure youthful arrogance. Parson's direction starts Levee off at a low boil; but it is Alfred's control, intensity, and fire which succeeds in pulling off Levee's assault on Cutler, and his rant against God, with crucifying realism.
The play inexorably builds to this, through all the excruciating little deferrals and detours of Ma Rainey's recording session. Humorous as it is, given Ma's demand that her stuttering, country nephew Sylvester (Kelvin Roston, Jr.) intro her lead song, running underneath it all is the realization that Ma's moment of glory is fleeting.
The recording company's neurotic owner, Sturdyvant (Thomas J. Cox), insistently presses for fresher, faster music, whether he will pay decently for it or not. The money and privilege that Ma is flush with cannot last forever. There is something quite Biblical about this aspect of Wilson's play, just as there is something downright Greek tragedy about Levee railing against God. It's here we truly see the marks of a younger playwright.
Oglesby, for her part, plays Rainey with willful blindness to the impending demise of her career, which doesn't endear her to the audience, however deeply we identify with her pent up rage when she signs the release forms. She may lord herself over Levee and thwart his ambitions; she may boss her band, her entourage, and her manager; but the limits she bumps into truly close around her. Play the queen as much as she may, true power, which can only come from control over her own work, is not hers to have in this world. The same power denied her, is also denied Levee; what should make them natural allies ends up setting them against each other. The generational divide between Levee and the band also holds devastating consequences.
Overall, this production is too fine for a little critical kibitzing about pacing in some scenes. Court Theatre has a near perfect production on its hands. The entire cast is evenly and indisputably excellent. Even small roles leave lasting impressions, like David Chrzanowski's smug Policeman, Stephen Spencer's stressed out but enabling manager, Irvin, and Kristy Johnson, who seems born to play Ma's woman, Dussie Mae. Now the audience just has to get there before time runs out.

I'm running a small stock-analysis program on my local machine. To do the analysis over a large amount of historical stock charts, I pull the data form Alphavantage's API using the curl command below.
Given the ticker-symbol of an equity (in this case
GBLIL), I grab its data like this:

But I would like to know what kind of equity GBLIL is. Is it a stock? Is it an Exchange Traded Fund? Is it a Bond?
Where/How can I get this information from an automated and free source? I need an API that my program can hit hundreds of times per minute via HTTP request. Not a webpage that I manually type a stock ticker into and see the result.

This is the second of the volumes dealing with the clinical aspects of malignancy. Although one might, from the title, expect a discussion of a single phase of therapy of malignancy this is definitely not the case. Throughout this comprehensive work the author draws upon his broad surgical experience to give us a truly objective basis for the handling of malignant disease. For each clinical stage of a particular malignancy we are given the results of treatment by surgery, irradiation, or a combination of both.

A nurse stationed in Basra, Iraq has alleged facts sufficient to support a recurring retaliation claim against her employer, based on her complaint of sex discrimination.
One month after complaining about her supervisor's sexual harassment, the plaintiff made another complaint about her supervisor's retaliation for her first report. The next month, she was told she would be transferred to a less desirable work location, in violation of the company's stated policy and despite the fact that other nurses were transferred to her original location around the same time. After she complained that the transfer was retaliatory, the employer cancelled it. However, four months later, the defendant allegedly created a policy it used as a pretext not to renew her employment contract. The policy was rescinded after she left.
Other claims were dismissed without prejudice.

A process in which disputes are attempted to be settled using trained lawyers to assist the parties in working together according to the negotiation principles of principled negotiation, to find the best scenario that will work for both parties. Collaborative law cases are not reviewed or managed in court. If there is a failure to reach an agreement and one of the parties seeks to go to court, it is the end of the collaborative process and the attorneys of each party are also unable to represent their clients in court.
What is it?
Collaborative law consists of two clients and their respective attorneys working together toward the goal of reaching an efficient, fair and comprehensive settlement of all issues.
All negotiations take place in four-way settlement meetings that both clients and both lawyers attend. Principled negotiation is governing the process. The lawyers cannot go to court or threaten to go to court. Settlement is the only agenda. If either client goes to court, both collaborative lawyers are disqualified from further participation. Each client has built-in legal advice and advocacy during negotiations, and each lawyer's job includes guiding the client toward reasonable resolutions. The legal advice is an integral part of the process, but all the decisions are made by the clients.
The parties sign a collaborative (law) participation agreement describing the nature and scope of the matter;
- "The parties voluntarily disclose all information which is relevant and material to the matter that must be decided";
- "The parties agree to use good faith efforts in their negotiations to reach a mutually acceptable settlement";
- "Each party must be represented by a lawyer whose representation terminates upon the undertaking of any contested court proceeding"; (and)
- "The parties may engage mental health and financial professionals whose engagement terminates upon the undertaking of any contested court proceeding".
