The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") prohibits discrimination against a qualified individual on the basis of disability in regard to job application procedures, the hiring, advancement, or discharge of employees, employee compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. A plaintiff bringing an ADA claim has two major hurdles to pass on their way to a trial: a motion to dismiss and motion for summary judgment.
At the motion-to-dismiss stage, a plaintiff need only allege facts that provide "plausible support to the reduced requirements" of the prima facie case. Thus, to survive a motion to dismiss, "what must be plausibly supported by facts alleged in the complaint is that the plaintiff is a member of a protected class, was qualified, suffered an adverse employment action, and has at least minimal support for the proposition that the employer was motivated by discriminatory intent. At issue is whether Plaintiff alleges facts sufficient to demonstrate that (1) he is a member of the protected class, i.e., whether he suffers from a disability as defined by the ADA, (2) he was qualified to perform the essential functions of his job with or without a reasonable accommodation, and (3) there is a plausible inference he was terminated because of his disability.
A three-step approach is used to determine whether an individual has a disability under the ADA. Plaintiff must establish that (1) he suffers from a physical or mental impairment; (2) the impairment affects a "major life activity;" and (3) the impairment "substantially limits" that major life activity. A major life activity is an activity that is "of central importance to daily life." The term " 'substantially limits' " is "construed broadly in favor of expansive coverage, to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA and is not meant to be a demanding standard," such that "[a]n impairment need not prevent, or significantly or severely restrict, the individual from performing a major life activity in order to be considered substantially limiting." Furthermore, whether an individual's impairment substantially limits a major life activity is a determination that "shall be made without regard to the ameliorative effects of mitigating measures," such as medication or "learned behavioral or adaptive neurological modifications."

Those darn 'slot barns'. What Atlantic City casinos used to call racinos, is taking it to Atlantic City and will continue to do so. In a report released Monday, New York's gaming revenue is expected to increase 32% this year as the Aqueduct Racino is scheduled to open and Yonkers Raceway continues to experience growth in it's business (they recently announced plans for a 40,000 square foot addition to their gaming floor.
So how is Atlantic City doing? They lost 41% of their business since 2006 and are forecast to loose an additional 13% of revenue this year. And what is going to happen to when New York allows table games in two or three years?
I've said it before and I will say it again. The casino gambling industry has matured and has become a commodity. There is no reason why people will travel to Atlantic City when they can travel to a local casino, be it a racino or a stand alone casino.
So what does this mean to the Meadowlands? Many people have been saying the casino industry 'owns' the New Jersey government. We may see if this is the case as negotiations towards a lease for the Meadowlands continue. With building a new grandstand in the plans of Jeff Gural, if at least a thirty year lease isn't offered, it is more than likely Gural and company will have to drop their plans to lease the Meadowlands as it will not make economic sense to invest that much money in a new facility for a shorter period of time. It will also show that these negotiations to save racing at the Meadowlands was a sham negotiation from the start on behalf of the New Jersey government.
Of course, if an expansion of casino gaming in the state of New Jersey does occur, there is no assurance it will end up at the Meadowlands. The City of Newark has had a lot of power within the state legislature in recent years and Democratic Mayor Booker has formed an alliance of convenience with Republican Governor Christie, so don't rule out the possibility of a casino showing up in Newark (and possibly Jersey City) instead of the Meadowlands.
Before horsemen count on the inevitability of casino gambling coming to the Meadowlands, remember money sets political agendas be it New Jersey or any other state. If Gural is able to pull off a lease, it is not time to return to the typical pattern of ambivalence and just wait for the slot revenue to show up; it may never come.
Freehold Cuts Purses: Freehold Raceway has announced that starting next week, purse would be cut 15%. It is not known yet if purses will be cut across the board 15% or if it will be an aggregate 15% cut.

Is What's Bad for Atlantic City Bad for the Meadowlands?
2 comments:
- Unknown said...
The meadowlands are close enough to Newark to allow employment opportunities for Newark residents. Perhaps a shuttle service could be setup for employees and patrons.
I think Jeff Gural is doing a fantastic job, but the Meadowlands are doomed if they don't have slots and table games by the end of 2011.

Slots will never be at the Meadowlands in 2011. First of all, if the legislature agreed, the soonest it could go to referendum in Novmeber, 2011. Assume it is approved and there is no legal objections, the soonese you realistically would see slots would be mid-to late 2012.

My dear Col1
While on a recent visit to Roanoke Mrs Kindred, on whom I happen to be calling, showed me a letter of your fathers. Remembering your desire to have all the letters of his you could find I asked her to send me a copy of it which she did, with some others, and which I Enclose with her letter which will give you the history of the whole transaction. I don't know that the letters are very valuable historically however, I thought you might like to have them.
How are you? How is your family? We are as usual. The "Doc" returned to N. Y. Tuesday, he seems to have regained his strength and looks fat, though don't think his color is just right yet. Aunt Mary is Expected tomorrow. There are several things already she can't understand the principle one being how the C & O does not stop at Ravensworth "as it always used to." As it has never stopped since I have been living there it is Easier for me to comprehend.
With much love for all at Oakley.

Chilecito or bust
Last week I took a vacation to La Rioja, to a town called Chilecito. It was my first vacation within Argentina since I went to Mendoza over a year ago. Even that was just for the Semana Santa long weekend. Overall it was very cold. And it snowed a little. It was really nice for a change from the humid Buenos Aires weather.
The place is untouched to all tourists except backpackers on their way to somewhere else. The reason for the trip is that a friend of mine is looking into buying land to move there to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Though land in Chilecito is quite cheap (she's looking at spending about $2000 dollars) there are some complications. The first item, which could theoritically be good or bad, is that everybody knows everybody and, in a strange Twin Peaks kind of way, they're all in eachothers business. As La Riojas doesn't produce many professionals like (doctors, engineers, etc.) these guys come from outside and form a bit of a ruling clique. This means that the folks who own the land are not locals but rather are from Cordoba, Mendoza and the like. Each time we went to a restaurant or confiteria to meet someone about seeing a house or advice on a property we would see a group of 8-10 older men talking easily around a big table. The person we were going to meet was invariably meeting with others we would see later. I am not used to this small town process and I distrust it.
This is made altogether more sketchy by the nature of the second complication which is that, like most provinces in Argentina, about 70% of the land does not have acceptable paperwork of ownership. And it is precisely this kind of land that sells for the $2000. People told us stories about how, because the paperwork is disorganized sometimes folks sell the same land to two different people because of the way things are filed. I'm used to a system where there's a kind of a process. There's a law that says you have to pay lawyers an amount to verify such and such a claim and there are consequents if people cheat. Here it's not so much the case. It's a free country: wide open.

There are performers who give polite interviews, write blogs and chat to audiences during performances. Then there are old-school musicians with such an aura of mystery and intrigue that they create excitement before even playing a note.
On Thursday night at Carnegie Hall, the visceral thrill of the playing of Martha Argerich, the elusive pianist and cult favorite, certainly merited the eager anticipation that her appearances always generate.
She performed Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Charles Dutoit. Mr. Dutoit has a longstanding relationship with this orchestra, which was in top form all night. He has just been appointed its chief conductor for four years, starting in 2008, while the search begins for a replacement for the music director, Christoph Eschenbach, who steps down next summer.
Mr. Dutoit was once married to Ms. Argerich, with whom he now performs regularly. It seemed like a happy musical partnership on all fronts.
Ms. Argerich glided onstage like a queen before the members of her adoring public, who shouted their approval before she even sat down, flicking her long, thick hair over her shoulders. It was a remarkable performance, a revelatory reading of a standard work that brought out hidden color and nuances. Ms. Argerich's aggressively muscular, crystalline articulation, particularly dazzling in the startling and tempestuous cadenza, was balanced with the profundity of her introspective playing in the Adagio.
Ms. Argerich is an unpredictable pianist, but the performance was also notable for the dialogue and balance between soloist and ensemble, who seemed to understand each other perfectly. Her grateful fans were rewarded with an encore: a colorful rendition of the Bourée I and II from Bach's English Suite No. 2 in A minor (BWV 807).
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Sibelius, whose music has long been associated with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Mr. Dutoit opened the concert with a colorful, beautifully phrased, Gallic-flavored rendition of "Finlandia," Sibelius's stirringly patriotic tone poem.
After intermission the audience was lured on a sonic magic carpet ride to the languorous, sultry Arabian nights of Rimsky-Korsakov's evocative "Sheherazade." Mr. Dutoit, in his element here, seemed eager to tell the tales himself. He urged the orchestra, a willing and devoted accomplice, to weave a colorfully exotic musical tapestry of silky, sensual strings, while seductive, glistening woodwind solos beckoned like snake charmers. David Kim, the solo violinist, evoked the alluring voice of Sheherazade. The audience listened intently.

Early Monday morning, a full 24 hours before necessary, the Maple Leafs have announced their opening night roster.
The @MapleLeafs announced today that the hockey club has reduced its roster to 23 players (13 forwards, eight defencemen and two goaltenders).
The following players have been placed on waivers: Connor Carrick, Curtis McElhinney and Calvin Pickard.
— Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) October 1, 2018
There is some amazing news of course. First part is that Garret Sparks has won the battle of the backup goalies. How loud were the discussions within the offices at MLSE between GM Kyle Dubas and Head Coach Mike Babcock over this one?
Secondly, it is great to see Josh Leivo getting a spot on the roster. This kid deserves a real chance but how short will the leash be?
Finally, Justin Holl getting on a NHL roster is fantastic. When he first joined the Marlies, to be honest, he looked terrible. Then I think it was about half way thru his first season, he changed. No idea what happened but he appeared to have a chance at making the NHL in a support role.
With that good news, is news I told you all about. I warned you.
Martin Marincin is a Leaf again.
With Carrick, McElhinney & Pickard on waivers … Leafs down to 23:
— Mark Masters (@markhmasters) October 1, 2018
Kapanen…..but either way I like this lineup.
Who comes out when Nylander arrives on the team? My guess is Frederik Gauthier but time will tell.
Lets GO LEAFS !!!

I find thinking about whether or not I have to escape the "@" character is distracting
I find this is easier with proper syntax highlighting. My arc.vim ftplugin can detect if you have (declare 'atstrings t) and, if so, highlights the escaped parts of strings. That way, you know if @ is escaped just by glancing. But I don't mean to shamelessly plug, haha. I don't use atstrings either, but my reason is far lazier: in the middle of writing code, it's less effort to just use + than it is to declare then go back and start using @s.
- It can detect macros that take rest parameters named body, then highlight and indent them correctly.
- It uses R5RS's grammar & mz-specific extensions to highlight numbers correctly -- even weird ones, like
[(+ a b])
"\x61b \t c\u0064\n"
You can check out more at http://arclanguage.org/item?id=10147 or http://bitbucket.org/fallintothis/arc-vim. It hasn't changed much since I first submitted it, though I've noticed it fails to highlight 0-argument function names like queue and new-fnid. Been meaning to fix that for awhile.

Once installed, "TTG Publisher" will appear in your Publish Services panel in Lightroom's Library module, beneath Folders and Collections on the lefthand side.
You can access the publisher's settings in either of two ways:
If you need to publish to more than one website or location, you can create multiple instance of TTG Publisher. Right-click TTG Publisher, then select "Create Another Publish Service via TTG Publisher" from the context menu.
On accessing the TTG Publisher settings, as described above, you will find yourself in the Lightroom Publishing Manager. Here you can customize the settings for the publish service, which will impact all albums and album sets belonging to the publish service.
Albums and album sets also have individual settings of their own; that's a separate topic.
Name your publish service. This is only visible in Lightroom, and typically will indicate what the service is used for. For example, name your publish service for its respective website.
As described in |the installation document, the API details connect your publish service to Backlight, allowing Lightroom to communicate with your website for the purpose of creating and managing albums, album sets, images, metadata, etc.
The API Key is arbitrary, so use anything you like, similar to creating a strong password. The only requirement is that you use the same API Key both in Publisher's settings and in Backlight's settings.
Top-level galleries directory
Specify a folder name to act as parent to your albums and album sets; we use "galleries" by default, but you can change this if you want to, or if you're publishing to a second (or third!) location and "galleries" is already taken by another instance of TTG Publisher.
The top-level of your album structure will be visible at http://yourdomain.com/galleries, or whatever name your provide if not using "galleries".
Show albums in browser after publishing
After completing a publish job, publisher will open the newly created or updated album in a browser window.
Preserve capitalization in slugs
If disabled, album slugs will be converted to lowercase, which is usually considered to be best practice. If you have reason to preserve capitalization, though, this will do it.
Push metadata without updating existing photos
This option is gold. Normally, when an image is marked to re-publish, Lightroom redoes the entire job, creating and uploading new JPGs for each defined image rendition (large, thumbnail, etc.) and updating all associated metadata. For images already published, this option allows you to push only the metadata, a huge time-saver when you only need to update, for example, image titles or captions.
New images, not already in the gallery, will be published in full, even when this option is enabled, so this will not hinder your publishing of new images or albums when checked.
Publish thumbnails without updating other renditions
Similar to above, but pushes only the thumbnail renditions. Use this option when changing album thumbnails sizes or grid layout, saving time by not having to regenerate larger renditions.
A troubleshooting feature. Rarely, some hosts will interpret publisher's connection requests when uploading images as a DDoS attack on the server, preventing publisher from doing its job. For the vast majority of users, this is not an issue, but it has come up a few times with GoDaddy subscribers in particular. By introducing a short delay between requests, you can try to mitigate this issue.
The HTTP Authentication, File Naming, Metadata and Watermarking settings should be fairly self-explanatory. If you have questions regarding these, please ask in the forum.

I started getting into photography as a young boy but first turned professional in 2003 at the tender age of 30. Fifteen years later and I still love it!
Outside of photography I'm a competitive dancer in ballroom and Latin American dancing. I was lucky enough to come 5th place at the national finals in Blackpool this year in my 'senior' category. To support my dancing I also run, hit the gym and cycle and so it keeps me pretty fit. In fact since I restarted dancing a few years ago after a long break I have lost 60lb!
Strangely enough became more serious as an outlet for my creative side when I gave up competitive dance about 16 years ago. Back then we trained 22 hours a week and it all just got a bit too much. Suddenly I found I had a lot of extra free time each week!
I also volunteer at my local RAF Air Cadet squadron as a sergeant instructor. I run the squadrons website and act as a photographer for the wider wing to give them media coverage at events they participate it. I love the outdoors, particularly walking and camping and so I'm currently training as a group walking leader to lead expeditions too.
January 2018 I also took over an allotment to grow vegetables. This took up a lot more time than anticipated this year so I'm trying some new techniques I've learnt over the year going forward to reduce the number of hours I need to do. Fingers crossed it won't be so demanding in 2019.
Finally, I somehow fit in a regular day job as head of workplace productivity leading a group of software consultants. I did take my photography full-time for a couple of years and found so much work I had to turn it away but being completely self-employed never suited me. The economic reality is a practice lead consultant earns more than a photographer and there is a lot to be said for sick pay, paid holidays and a pension! I stick to photography because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to!
I can fit into any situation be it informal or formal.
I enjoy everything about photography. It usually looks like I'm having fun because I usually am!
Hand in hand with enthusiasm is my energy. I can keep going all day!
I'm easy to talk to and put people at ease.
When you say you are going to do something and people are relying on you, you just have to get it done.
Guilty! Who doesn't love a good dance?

There are many things said about the God in the sky, many, many things.
There are many legends about him, for it is almost certainly a him, but it is hard to know if any of them are in fact true. It cannot be disputed however, that it has been at least a thousand years since the Gods last miracle, or just simple interaction with humanity. According to the legends and religious texts we have, we know that once he was an involved God, gently guiding and nudging us in the correct directions. He was a loving and kind God, occasionally giving in to bouts of anger, but the anger was always directed with pinpoint accuracy and only in very rare cases.
The God in the sky is obvious to all who care to simply look up, during the day we can make out greater detail, but at night we can see him, blackening a large expanse of sky. The God himself is man shaped and curled into an almost foetal position, however the legends describe him as standing tall and looking over us. His eyes, which are as dark and endless as the cosmos, haven't opened in this time. It is said that at night his eyes would cast a pale light on the world, reminding us all that he watched over us, however that light has not hit the earth in a long time. It is unknown what happened to the God exactly, at the time of his silence it is reported that there was a large meteor shower, with great rocks tearing apart the earth. We have found evidence that this was a catastrophic time, it was after this event that the earth was cast into shadows and cold for a hundred years. During this time much of the God was blocked from view due to the storm clouds that circled the earth. There was mass panic and fear during this time as it is then that the God began his transformation and began to curl upon himself.
The religious fervour of the world has begun to wane, understandably, as the God has ceased interaction. It is hard to deny his existence when he is plainly visible, but people no longer believe that he is a God. The beginnings of these beliefs have a bloody history as so called Betrayers were beaten and killed in the streets. These days however atheism is met mostly with indifference.
There are many theories as to what happened to the God, and there have been many theories as to his true nature. One thing is certain however, is that there are stirrings. The God, who lay so very still for so very long, has begun to twitch, as though he was dreaming. We cannot know what this signals, perhaps the being had gone into some sort of hibernation, perhaps this is just part of the Gods natural cycle.
In the heavens, from where he watched for so long, the God twitched, slight seizures racking his body as the new entity inside awoke. It had been slumbering for so long, battling with the once merciful owner of the body. Now the battle has ended and it was the victor. It reached out and through, snaking its dark, sickened tendrils through the body, testing and gaining control. It had spent millennium speeding through the cold darkness of space, waiting patiently for the day it would rise. The God let out a roar and it opened its eyes, on the world below people screamed as the God surveyed them with dark, terrifying eyes.

Comparing Builders' Quotes
Are the same big ticket items included in the quote? How do they charge on variations?Learn what to ask and when with our handy guide.
Choosing the right builder is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. Fortunately, there are some proven ways to speed up the selection process to help make sure you find a quality builder who's a good fit for you.
What size, type and price range are you looking for for in new home? Most builders specialise in a specific type of home, price range or style. The building materials, tradespeople and even the building process itself can differ greatly by type and price of home. So look for the right fit for you.
Experience does matter. Look for a builder with strong experience in the type of home you want. Doing some research upfront will definitely pay off.
Ask for references from past customers. Most builders offer references and referrals. Here are a couple of questions you may like to ask: Would you build again with this builder? Would you recommend them to friends and family? And don't forget to ask for the reasons why they would or wouldn't recommend them.
Only choose a licensed builder. Also ask about the relevant insurances required. Make sure you have appropriate insurance cover during the building process, for total peace of mind.
While many builders have expertise in a variety of designs, it makes sense to look for a builder whose work includes at least some examples of the style of home you want. Don't go for a builder who specialises in traditional homes, if you're after a contemporary look.
One of the main advantages of building is that the home itself and most of the materials, components and products used are brand new and under warranty – giving you peace of mind if anything goes wrong. It's also a good idea to look for a structural warranty of at least ten years (for example, Hallmark Homes offer a 30 year structural warranty). And make sure you choose a builder who provides prompt service for repairs and maintenance issues under warranty.
Good reputations follow good builders, so look for builders whose homes tend to hold or maintain their value. When you see a builder's homes maintain or increase in value, that's a good sign.
Industry memberships show that a builder is committed for the long-term. It's also a sign of commitment to community developers, product suppliers and tradespeople.
Once you've narrowed down a shortlist of preferred builders, you should visit their display homes. Pay careful attention to the look, feel and quality of their homes, but try not to be distracted by the furnishings, styling and other extras that aren't included in the home build price.
Look for signs of quality construction and attention to detail when you visit the display homes. Also consider the building products they use. Are they quality brands with good reputations? What kind of people work for the builder? Did the sales consultant show genuine interest in you and your needs? Did they listen carefully? Did they provide satisfactory answers to your questions? This is often just as important as the build itself – communication is key.
By following the ten tips above, you'll be well on your way to choosing the right builder for you. The team at Hallmark Homes is ready to help you with any other queries you may have regarding your new home. If you have any questions about our home designs or house and land packages, please contact us today.

The strategic drawback was that many native faculties in our city did not know our faculty supplied a Law diploma, Schools exterior our metropolis usually didn't know our faculty existed, not to mention that it provided a Law degree. It is however one measure that the DOE makes use of, and colleges are allowed to point out alternative means of monetary well being. With fewer legal professionals passing the bar each year, we'll see the number of applicants to regulation schools drop off as nicely. Once Cardozo and Hofstra opened, there was a huge and mounting oversupply of decrease tier regulation schools. To be trustworthy, with your expertise, you in all probability will not have an issue with a law school workload.
Let's take a look at the Law School Numbers profile for the dung heap generally known as Wayne $TTTaTTTe Univer$iTTTy Law Sewer. In any event, when you're prideful about going to regulation faculty, I can guarantee you that you will not live fortunately ever after. I can only assume that the youngsters who're there are individuals who really need to go to law faculty however don't know the best way to use Google. The Imams of all the four faculties have been heavily indebted to their predecessors for their legal theories.
On the August 2014 launch, Cooley had a 2.9. Albany and Charleston had 3s. Ave Maria Law had a -zero.5, one of many worst a hundred institutions in America, more surrounded by proprietary cosmetology schools than faculties of legislation. In my Evidence class, there have been a couple of issues within the casebook (Fisher 3d, 167ff.) based on the information" of the shootout and an encounter Peltier and his entourage of AIM members had in Oregon with the native regulation whereas fleeing. One thing that as turn into clear, although, is how a lot American contract regulation owes to the 102 brave souls aboard the Mayflower.
Law School (TLS) contributes to the success of the mission of Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) by providing research and research within the space of legislation. In that one yr, it grew to become painfully apparent that going to law school would have the identical final result as my diploma in schooling did when it comes to job potential. I've been mildly however genuinely criticized in my blog for taking over the whole authorized occupation as it's practiced here in America, as a substitute of concentrating on the smaller reality that regulation colleges are dishonest and greedy. Law college dean Jane Korn does not anticipate the necessity to minimize any extra positions.

Mayor Bill de Blasio took the oath of office on Monday, a frigid New Year's Day, to begin his second and last term, with broad promises for building a fairer city and with his sights already fixed beyond the five boroughs.
He was sworn in by the populist senator and leftist icon Bernie Sanders of Vermont, in an outdoor ceremony that was truncated because of the cold — a youth chorus and the city's youth poet laureate were eliminated from the program, and Mr. de Blasio said that he shortened his remarks out of consideration for his shivering audience. The temperature was in the teens, under a powdery blue sky, with a sharp wind that picked up once the mayor began speaking.
Several hundred people, including other elected officials, watched the ceremony in the plaza in front of City Hall, although empty seats were scattered throughout — a contrast to four years ago when thousands packed Mr. de Blasio's first swearing in (the weather then was warmer).
Aside from Mr. Sanders, the political star power was significantly reduced from Mr. de Blasio's first inauguration. Then, he was sworn in by former President Bill Clinton and other attendees included former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the activist and performer Harry Belafonte. None of them were there on Monday.
Senator Chuck Schumer arrived late, traipsing down the carpeted City Hall steps past Mr. Sanders and other dignitaries in the middle of Mr. de Blasio's speech. (Mr. Schumer was coming from the inauguration in Mineola of the new Nassau County executive, Laura Curran, which the governor also attended.)
Mr. de Blasio, 56, was accompanied by his wife, Chirlane McCray, and their children, Chiara and Dante. Former Mayor David N. Dinkins, 90, was also present, the only dignitary who was given his own space heater.
Public Advocate Letitia James and Comptroller Scott M. Stringer, both Democrats like Mr. de Blasio, were also sworn in for their second terms and both gave speeches — perhaps with an eye toward the 2021 mayoral race.
Mr. Sanders, who wore a bulky green parka and no hat, appeared to grow colder as the ceremony wore on, hugging himself with crossed arms, his coat drawn up around his chin and a blanket over his knees.
"Now, by Vermont standards this is a warm and pleasant afternoon," Mr. Sanders said at the start of his speech, provoking laughter from Mr. de Blasio, who has engaged in an increasingly open bromance with the progressive senator.
The crowd cheered as enthusiastically for Mr. Sanders as it did for Mr. de Blasio. Some people said they came because of Mr. Sanders. Those who attended found a color program, a packet of hand warmers and, in many cases, a blue synthetic blanket, on folding chairs. Some people congregated around portable heaters like those used in outdoor restaurants.
The mayor's choice of Mr. Sanders to administer the oath seemed to signal his intention to use his second term — even more than his first — to build a national profile for himself (speculation about that was also fueled by a trip last month to Iowa, the cradle of presidential ambitions). And Mr. Sanders obliged, giving a six-minute speech in which he contrasted the "bad news" coming from Washington with the "good news" in New York, embodied in Mr. de Blasio's progressive policies.
"Instead of pandering to billionaires we have a government here which has chosen to listen to the needs of working families," said Mr. Sanders, who in 2016 made a bid from the left to become the Democratic Party presidential nominee, losing out to Mrs. Clinton.
He then led Mr. de Blasio in the oath of office. Ms. McCray held a Bible that had belonged to Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia; Mr. de Blasio, with no hat and in a dark wool topcoat, rested his left hand on the Bible and raised his right hand. After completing the oath he hugged Mr. Sanders and his family.
"You are the most distinguished frozen group of people I have ever spoken before," Mr. de Blasio began. He thanked voters for giving him a second term and said that he would proceed to describe "the essence of what the next four years will be like."
But the essence was short on detail and seasoned with intimations of national scope.
"Something big is happening in New York City, something new, something different, something that has begun a new progressive era in this city's history," Mr. de Blasio said. "Something is being done here that matters to all of us, but is also being felt far beyond our borders."
He said that 2017 saw fewer murders in New York City than any year since 1951, and that the continued reduction in crime could be attributed to the neighborhood policing strategy that he put in place, which he called "the vision that will be the future of policing in this city and that will one day be the future of policing in this nation."
He went on to lament the city's vast disparities in income, pledging to make the city more just for working people, with more affordable housing and good paying jobs.
"The true owners of this beloved place are not the big landlords and developers, not the titans of Wall Street and the 1 percent," he said. "The deepest, truest stakeholders of this town are the people who do the work, who every day make this city come to life but have too often not reaped the rewards."
In a speech that lasted 13 minutes and included several references to the cold, Mr. de Blasio reached for inspirational eloquence. He cited Abraham Lincoln's metaphor of a house divided, using it as a symbol of both income inequality and of the country's political factionalism.
"In this heyday of hatred, this new dawn of divisiveness, we in our city refuse to be dragged down to a place we know is beneath us," he said.
He did not name President Trump — no speaker did during the 69-minute ceremony — but he made clear reference to the president's policies, pledging to keep New York "a beacon to our nation and the world."
In the audience was David Pecoraro, who said he had attended Mr. de Blasio's previous inauguration and described himself as "a big, big, big, big, big Bill de Blasio fan."
"There haven't been very many politicians in my life where I felt like I was voting for someone rather than for a party or against someone," said Mr. Pecoraro, 57, a retired schoolteacher. He praised Mr. de Blasio's expansion of prekindergarten classes and a two-year rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments. "When did that ever happen?" he said.
Mr. Pecoraro said that his wife, Clara, had stayed home because of the cold. "She's the sane one," he said. "I'm not. But part of being a fan is being a fanatic."

There is no certainty as to when a natural disaster strikes in. The best you can do is to stay prepared in such situations and know how to deal with emergencies. Such emergencies call for a backup generator that is at least powerful enough to provide power for short-term emergencies and power outages. This provides safety as well as comfort to you and your family. You are at least sure that none of your food in the refrigerator goes to waste when disaster strikes in. Even when you wish to power your television or computer during short-term power outages propane powered generators are important.
Choosing the right Propane Powered Generator
You have to first consider your budget, location and for what reasons you wish to use your generator before you even choose the generator. There are basically two types of generators- permanent and portable. It depends on your specific needs as to which generator will work best for you.
Permanent Propane Generators
The permanent propane generators are either powered by propane or natural gas and are permanently installed outside the residences. This generator is wired into the existing wiring electrical system of the house. A transfer switch is present that monitors the incoming electricity. Whenever there is a power cut, the transfer switch automatically disconnects the utility lines from your home while at the same time connecting a separate power line to your home from the generator.
It takes just a matter of seconds for the power to be restored. The permanent propane generators have the power to keep your home running as if there is no power cut at all.
The only drawback that these generators come with is that they are very expensive and require professional installation.
This type of generator is typically useful for the people living in areas that have frequent power cuts. These generators are an excellent choice for anyone to rely on in those areas. Additionally, these generators are also helpful for people living in extremely cold or hot climates.
Portable Propane Generators
These generators are useful in areas that do not undergo harsh climatic conditions and the power outage is also not frequent. Portable Propane Generators are ideal where the power outage is short-term. Unlike the Permanent Portable Generators, these generators are not wired to the homes but are connected to the appliances that you wish to power with the help of extension cords.
It is a very viable option as it does not cost much and meets all the emergency power requirements without costing much. Different models of portable generators have different capacities. Depending on what your requirement is whether you wish to power a fridge, a refrigerator, a computer and television, you can opt for that particular model. However, most of the larger utilities might not be supported by these generators.

Alumni in Action: Ashley Meade
Header photo by Laura Palma
Ashley Meade is a recent WEC graduate. She worked last summer and fall in St. Croix as a research assistant for the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research (ACCSTR) at UF under Alexandra Gulick, a graduate student conducting her dissertation research to evaluate green turtle grazing dynamics and behavior, and the productivity of grazed seagrass meadows in the Caribbean.
We interviewed her over her spotty WiFi connection last November.
What do you do?
The overarching goal of this research is to understand the impacts of green turtle population recovery on seagrass communities. Our field work is conducted in collaboration with the National Park Service at Buck Island Reef National Monument in St. Croix (U.S. Virgin Islands) where I have been living since May. Field work for me means waking up early in the morning, crewing a NPS vessel out to the seagrass meadows, and conducting science dives to deploy stationary cameras and establish exclosure cages we built to keep out sea life so we can measure productivity. Most days, I spend a few hours underwater with my head buried in a quadrat, identifying and counting the seagrass and rooted algae, and collecting above and belowground biomass samples. I also assist with lab work, data entry, video analysis, and making maps of our study sites with GIS. Working on this project has allowed me to work hard at work worth doing, and I love using my WEC degree to do so.
How did you focus your education to qualify for this work?
While at UF for my undergrad, I took two classes in sea turtle biology taught by Dr. Bjorndal (used as focus courses for my major in WEC and minor in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences). After taking her courses, I landed a job at the Bald Head Island Conservancy conducting nocturnal sea turtle saturation tagging research. When I returned to UF, I started volunteering as a lab assistant with ACCSTR, processing samples from an awesome study on blue carbon storage and green turtle grazing conducted by Robert Johnson and Alexandra Gulick. I was then offered the position I currently have, and I worked to attain my AAUS Scientific Diving certification in my final semester.
What are you learning?
One of the coolest aspects of my job is applying lessons I learned in WEC to the underwater world. In Wildlife Techniques, I learned about stationary cameras, field navigation, and vegetation sampling, and now I do that underwater. I have over 100 scientific dives logged, and the intensity of our field work has made me a more efficient technician. By working with a graduate student, I am also learning more about study design, which makes me excited for the prospect of conducting my own graduate research.
Learning how to do behavior video analysis has been a valuable experience as well. It has been a lot of fun watching undisturbed green turtles grazing and watching animals I likely would never see if I were in the water. Some highlights include a female tiger shark, a scorpionfish eating an octopus, curious squids, and seeing conchs move. Watching the videos has helped me to better understand the seagrass ecosystem I work in.
I have also volunteered for collaborators and biologists with the National Park Service on various projects including saturation tagging with nesting sea turtles at Buck Island and Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, conducting in-water sea turtle research with USGS, and diving for the NPS acoustic array project. Learning how biologists use acoustic technology to study the spatial ecology of so many different animals in the park has been a real treat.
What was it like getting hit by two Category 5 hurricanes in a row?
Exhausting. I'd like to think that growing up in Florida prepared me for hurricanes, but St. Croix is a lot different. Irma didn't hit us too bad. I spent Maria huddled in a bathroom with my housemates, wondering what the cause was for each terrifying sound and pressure change that pained my ears. The next day, I walked outside to an eerie brown hillside stripped of chlorophyll. I was lucky and the house I live in sustained minimal damage. Observing wildlife in the aftermath of a hurricane was interesting. Bees and wasps seemed to have vertigo, floating aimlessly and landing on me as I walked to higher spots on the hill to get enough service to tell my family we survived. It was hard seeing the damage to the island, but with each day there are improvements. Vegetation has returned to its lush state. Power has been restored to isolated downtown areas. Power lines are being cleared from roads. I still don't have power, but I'm good at adapting to whatever situation I'm in.
Starting field work after the hurricanes was a huge relief, and the excitement helped us to power through some busy and chaotic weeks. Every time we hit a road block, we say "science will prevail", we get creative, and we finish the job.

In this episode of ICO or NO Jeremy dives into the Wala project. Wala is looking to incorporate the under-served financial population into the global economy by offering complete financial services to markets that have not previously had this access. Wala offers individuals in these under-served countries to have access that could greatly speed up their economic development.
Jeremy dives into what the project hopes to achieve, the market conditions surrounding the project, the team, and the details of the token sale. Be sure to check back for more great ICO analysis.
What is Wala & what problem do they hope to solve?
According to Wala, globally, over 3.5 billion people are not adequately served by current financial solutions. That's just under half of the world's population. Over 2 billion people do not have bank accounts, and another 1.5 billion only have basic savings accounts, which really don't do much more than act as a place to store your money. They aren't connected with the global financial market, and they aren't offered the basic banking services that most of us are used to.
These under-served consumers are primarily located in Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Across these emerging markets, there are two main barriers to these economies to catch up.
The first is ACCESS: Many consumers operate outside of the formal financial system due to the lack of financial infrastructure, required documentation, credit history, financial literacy, or intimidation of the banking system. This is a hugely important point to make. There are some people in countries like the United States that do have developed banking systems and could go an open up a bank account, but the whole process of getting documents to prove your identity and actually going to open a bank account…Well lets just say the process is needlessly complex. But with emerging blockchain solutions, like Wala, that may be soon to change.
Secondly, COST: Simply, it costs a lot to participate in the global financial market. High fees are the top reason why consumers avoid the system entirely. If you use Bank of America, well you already know what I'm talking about. These institutions have taken every opportunity to nickle and dime their customers. I've heard countless examples of people over-drafting their accounts by a dollar or two, and are hit with thirty dollar charges until they realize the mistake. The existing solutions – such as banks serving emerging markets have proven not to truly understand the unique needs of the unbanked consumer.
In emerging markets, banks face a fundamental problem. They "have developed staggeringly complex and costly business and operating models" resulting in a fee and rate dominated banking experience for consumers. Fee-based banking results in proportionally high costs for low income consumers. Simply put, the existing model is not sustainable for the developing economies.
The Wala Financial Platform is built using the Raiden Network on the Ethereum blockchain. It connects it's partners, who are specialist financial providers such as banks, with the 3.5 billion unbanked and under-served consumers. On the platform, these users have access to fee-less financial services (transactional banking, remittances, loans, and insurance) for the first time and Wala's partners can now serve these previously uneconomical customers.
What are the market conditions facing the project?
There are a few apps trying to do the same thing as Wala, such as Cashaa, which are specifically focusing on banking the under-served. And this is a very important thing to note. These apps aren't trying to compete against the existing banking structure. They are trying to fill a void left by these large banks. And with the failure of big banks to sufficiently address this need, well, there's a market open that Wala can target.
And don't believe everything you hear about big banks. Take Jamie Dimon and his apparent hate for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Jamie Dimon profits off of a system dominated by fiat, he makes his money off of the use of the USD. So of course he's going to publicly trash bitcoin. The part I find the funniest though is that JP Morgan turned around and bought bitcoin at a discount — right after his comments. No matter what the big banks say, they are exploring blockchain technology.
If you look at the members of EEA, including JP Morgan Chase, several are banks. The big banks will use blockchain technology, making it very hard for any of the smaller projects to compete in the same space. Which is why I really like the position Wala is going for in the market. Target the people that aren't within the current system, that are not working with banks. That's your market.
Who is behind the Wala project?
Wala began with Founder and CEO Tricia Martinez's work directing unconditional cash transfers to subsistence farmers in Uganda. It was at this point that Tricia saw that even though some mobile money technology is being incorporated, people weren't securely storing their money.
To better understand the banking and financial service issues plaguing consumers, Tricia began interviewing consumers in Uganda and created a digital community in response to the growing interest from consumers seeking financial guidance. In the first month, the community organically grew to 100,000 consumers, mainly in Kampala, Uganda's burgeoning capital with over 1.5 million residents.
What are the details of the Wala ICO?
1,000,000,000 Dala (DALA) ERC-20 tokens will be created. The smart contract that executes the token creation is being audited, and is open source and available on Github. As described below, only a portion of the Dala token supply will be immediately available, with a large portion of the Dala supply reserved for the Dala Corporation to incentivise the ecosystem in the future. 1M tokens issued at 30M dollar goal.
- 30% for token sale
- 30% for Wala
- 40% present ecosystem

Energy Policy
Even if that number is only half right, what kind of investment do you make that takes 20 years before you break even? I understand solar energy is eventually going to become more efficient and maybe even cost-effective. Maybe. When it proves to be affordable and reliable in providing a substantial percent of our energy needs, then maybe it'll be worth discussing. Meanwhile, we have to keep our cars and trucks running and our homes and buildings heated. There are much more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable ways of doing that.

The white coat is a symbolic, non-verbal communication used to express and reaffirm a fundamental belief in a system that society observes. The authority of dress is serious and purposeful, not social, casual or random. The dress of healers of primitive societies was an important part of the paraphernalia of healing. The uniform should imply a purely professional interest. It must convey to even the most anxious a sense of seriousness and purpose that helps provide reassurance and confidence that his/her complaints will be dealt with competently and seriously. It is a cloak of compassion.
On 20 July, 2013, I was cloaked with my very own white coat. While it was shorter than the faculty's coats to signify my status as a student doctor, it carried a weight that was reiterated by the various speakers leading the ceremony. Yes, the life of a doctor is one dedicated to knowledge and understanding the mechanisms of disease. More prominently however, the life of a doctor is to use this knowledge to heal– be it by administering medicine, performing bodily manipulations, or even by simply listening to them talk about their life. The white coat symbolizes my designation in society as someone who provides service; my job is to take other peoples' lives, pains, and worries into my hands so that I may do my best to alleviate them. As was mentioned during the ceremony, the white coat gives your the privilege of interacting with others while they are most vulnerable.
In the United States, getting into medicine is tough. Perfect grades will not show that you are smart enough for medical school. Thousands of hours of feeding the poor will not show that you are compassionate enough to see patients. The entire system is designed to weed out those who see medicine as a "job" rather than a lifestyle. Yes, a lot of people might find the previous paragraph a pile of crock… I mean, medicine is just like another professional field right? You spend many years training, carry out your duties, and get paid. I would beg to differ and would point out that it is exactly because of these people why getting into medical school is so difficult. Yes, money is a prominent factor and will undoubtedly let you lead a financially comfortable life, but it is also compensation for the hard work and high risk associated with the job. People who fail to see how sacred the job of a healer is miss the point of why their status in society is respected. A physician deals with life, both at its start and at its finish. There are so many people in this world leading so many different lives a physician both recognizes the story behind each person and also strives to protect their life's story.
The day itself was a very memorable and fun one. Honestly, I often get bored with graduation and award ceremonies, but this one just felt much more personal– the entire ceremony was telling us that we had chosen a path that we will be traveling for the rest of our lives. I was especially glad that my parents and my younger brother were all able to attend in person to see my class, my school, and my apartment (all of which they had never seen before). The ceremony itself was also streamed online, so I was able to text the URL to a few of my friends (including online friends) in case they wanted to watch me walk across the stage to get cloaked.
As I walked across the stage, I briefly greeted the announcer who remembered me as I had previously invited him to my undergraduate college as a speaker while I was club president. The coat fit just right and flowed in a dignified manner as I took my seat. As soon as I sit down, I feel my phone vibrate and I know who is texting me before I even unlock the phone.
I just saw you. I was so proud and happy! I had to watch a bit at work but I'm so glad to have managed to see you in time. I saw your glorious face! Tears almost started to swell up. Congratulations again, Nightmaren! I hope that this new chapter in your life will be prosperous!
It was my friend Balance, whom I had never even met in real life until the Summer of 2012. He had been watching the video stream and was able to share the moment with my family and me. It should also be noted that my brother did an amazing job as cameraman and took some wonderful photos and videos of the ceremony. All in all, it was a wonderfully memorable day, even moreso when one of my students from when I used to teach Physics happened to be in the audience and came up to me afterwards to somewhat awkwardly say "I… clapped for you~"
At the end of the day, I Skyped with Balance despite being tired out from the busy day. I told him at one point my thoughts on starting medical school on the 22nd of July: "I feel like… I am going on a journey far away."

Luca Patuelli aka LAZYLEGZ, born the 28th of July 1984 in Montreal. He is born with an antheofryposis that is a rare muscular disorder that does not allow you to function properly his body articulation.
Typically, his condition it is extremely rare and affects different part of the body but lucky in the case of Luca,it was only his legs that got affected.
Since he was born, Luca had 16 operations on his legs and his spinal cord. He has never let his body over drop him, he always remained strong. In 1999, he was the age of 15 years old, after an operation done to him, Luca's had the unprivileged side of not being able to pursue his goal to be a professional skateboarder. On the other hand, he discovered that he had another passion that was B-Boying known also as a Breakdancing.
Since 2006, Luca has given his time to spread the message of: "It is to take the bad and transform it to good". He recognizes that no matter what situation you are in, it could be good and bad, it could always be transformed into something good. when he was younger, his father always thought him that: " your first fail is not to repeat it". He thinks that life is filled with experience and that each of us, even thought we could hate some experience, the most important factor in it is that you need to live it once and when you do not like it you pass to another experience. Luca has been a very inspiring model to lot of people, I will say that for millions of people in different ages and in all capacities around the world.
When I met him and was listening to him, it really felt that he isn't different from anybody. He was mentioning that: " Everything in life it is possible, everyone has struggles, but you always find a way to but your shoulders up and say that you can do it". If we search the problems you just can not achieve anything.
His parents and brother have been always the biggest supports in his life. His family has never considered Luca to be a handicap. They were always finding a way to be able to do an activity like Ski, then started to do Skateboarding. From that time, Luca was certain that he wanted to become a professional Skateboarder.
His dreams faded when he needed to have an operation. This operation would help him walk a little better because the legs were going to be functional, because how they were before was it stayed 90 degree, that is why they were doing the operation. His dream of becoming a professional Skateboarder was not possible anymore. He was mentioning that he always tries and find a solution for everything he does. That is how he turned to Breakedancing.
Another aspect that I will like to mention is about communication. Luca was saying that finding a way to communication with you student. He said that he will always remain a student because he is always learning. Nothing ends, always take what you have for granted, feel as if it is for the last time ( that is how he feels when he goes on the dance floor and competes.
Recently, Luca Patuelli has been teaching dance in school that are disabled children, He is also the responsible of the creation of the group: L'École Joseph Charbonneau always in Montreal where there is a group of students that participate and execute Breakdancing regularly.
One of his message that he will like to send to everyone is that : there is no excuse no limits, believe in yourself!!
This article is to make you understand that whatever position you face, whatever disability you have you should be always be aware that there is people that are worst state than you. You need to always thank for what you have. One of the students that Luca has is CrazyMouth. He uses his arms, he controls his movement with his chin. You should not feel sympathy because they are as human and capable, but simply in their own way. When you want something, you need to work hard for it. Luca finds his strengh in him and his students.
When you believe in something you do it!
You could fallow him on: ILL- Abilitiescrew.com (this is how you need to write it) or on Lazylegz.com

Atomic Nanowires at Surfaces
We focus on the preparation and manipulation of Pt and Au induced atomic chains on Ge(001) surfaces [1, 2].
Ge(001) surfaces are composed of dimer rows [3]. This is clearly observable in the Scanning Tunneling Microscopy data such as the one shown below. The measured distance between two dimer rows is nearly 0.8 nm. This fits perfectly with the value calculated using the lattice constant of Ge crystal (5.56 Å).
(a) STM image of Ge(001), Itunnel=0.45 nA, Vbias=-1.7 V
The Ge(001) surface was flash annealed at about 1000 K after depositing less than 1 monolayer (ML) of Pt atoms on to it. Two distinct terraces were observed in the STM images on the surface: the alpha and the beta terraces [1]. Alpha terrace resembles clean Ge(001) surface where dimer rows and (2x1) reconstruction was observed on. The beta terrace is the result of a surface confined phase of platinum-germanide that generated Pt-Ge quasi-dimer rows (QDR) [1].
One dimensional, self-organized atomic chains, which were called nanowires, grow on the beta terraces. These are commonly named as Pt-NWs. These NWs grow between the QDRs of the beta terraces. Terrace steps or defects on the surfaces usually limit the length of the nanowires. Pt induced nanowires can show unrestricted growth along the terrace in the absence of defect. The measured distance between two nanowires is nearly 1.6 nm. The apparent thickness of the wires are about 0.4 nm.
