Transcript Applicability of the ADA to Ticket to Work Employment Networks
Applicability of the ADA to Ticket to Work Employment Networks Presentation based on article by Peter Blanck, Lisa Clay, James Schmeling, Michael Morris, & Heather Ritchie
Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act Passed in 1999 Recipients of SSDI and SSI receive "ticket" Ticket used to receive services from qualified Employment Network (EN) The ADA is applicable to EN's in several ways
Reflects Paradigm Shift From charity and compensation …. TO Medical Oversight …. TO Civil Rights
Disability Policy Framework Federal Initiatives Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (TWWIIA) Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
Intersection of ADA and TWWIIA Complimentary, but different policy purposes TWWIIA to facilitate work ADA to provide equal opportunity for persons with disabilities, full participation, independent living, and economic self sufficiency
Title I TWWIIA Establishes Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program Voluntary program Implemented nationally over 3 years SSDI and SSI recipients receive "ticket" to purchase services from qualified EN's (Employment Networks) EN's provide employment, vocational rehabilitation services, and other supports
ADA Overview First comprehensive law preventing discrimination against persons with disabilities Intended to improve lives and employment prospects of
people with Disabilities Establishes rights, obligations, and protections in a range of areas
ADA Titles
. Employment discrimination on basis of disability
. Governs discrimination in programs and services by state and local governments
. Prohibits discrimination in accommodations and services offered by private entities that affect commerce
under the ADA is defined as….
"a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such an individual"
A person also may be "
" if He or she has a "record of such impairment" OR Is "regarded as having such an impairment"
Bragdon v. Abbott
First ADA case decided by Supreme Court Title III case Supreme Court endorsed a broad reading of the ADA's definition of disability, as well as of its public accommodation anti-discrimination provisions
Trilogy of Title I Employment Cases-1999
Sutton v. United Airlines
Murphy v. United Parcel Service Albertson's Inc v. Kirkingburg
Mitigating measures" must be considered Not substantially limited in major life activity if impact of impairment effectively mitigated
Olmstead v. L. C
.-1999 Title II Anti-discrimination provisions Placement of qualified persons with mental disabilities in state institutions into community settings Supports ADA's goal to prevent unjustified exclusion of persons with disabilities from programs and services of Title II entities
PGA Tour v. Martin 2001 Broad reading of Title III's anti discrimination provisions Accommodations do not
fundamentally alter the nature
of the golf tournament
Historical barriers to independence & inclusion of persons with disabilities Economic disincentives to work Lack of choice in rehabilitation services Lack of early access to rehab services in SSDI and SSI programs
SSA Program Inadequacies Lack of adequate and affordable health insurance for beneficiaries/working disabled Lack of choice in and access to employment services, vocational rehabilitation, and other supports Attempts of beneficiaries to work frustrated by potential loss of benefits
Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (TWWIIA) of 1999 Initiated to address barriers & compounding factors of SSA programs
Purposes of TWWIIA Reduce dependence on government cash benefit programs by providing health care and employment training for persons with disabilities Encourage states to allow those qualified to purchase Medicaid insurance, allowing them to retain employment
Purposes of TWWIIA, cont.
Allow working persons with disabilities the option of maintaining Medicare coverage Encourage persons with disabilities to seek employment and rehabilitation services to reduce dependence on cash benefits program
Prior to TWWIIA SSDI and SSI recipients who would benefit from vocational rehabilitation were referred to state VR agencies VR agencies were reimbursed for their services after beneficiary found work deemed "substantial gainful activity" (SGA)
After TWWIIA Enacted SSA is no longer required to refer individuals to state VR agencies Benefits may continue while beneficiary receives VR services or is a participant in the Ticket Program
Beneficiaries eligible until… Until SSDI benefits end A Social Security disabled widow(er) turns 65 A blind or disabled SSI participant turns 65 and qualifies for SSI benefits because of age
How TWWIIA Works Most SSI and SSDI recipients between ages of 18-64 are eligible Ticket participants receive a voucher or a "ticket" to obtain vocational services Services are available from qualified Employment Network (EN) to help them return to gainful employment
TWWIIA, cont.
Continuing disability review (CDR) by SSA is not triggered by return to work of participant using a Ticket while making progress Progress toward discontinuation of cash benefits through SGA for purposes of CDR suspension is evaluated by program standards
TWWIIA, cont.
EN works with participant to form "individual work plan" Participant has up to
2 years
to prepare for employment By year
of Program, participant is required to work at least
3 of 12
months at SGA (not necessarily consecutive)
TWWIIA, cont.
By year
, participant works
6 of 12
months at SGA By year
, participant works
6 of 12
months at a level high enough to eliminate SSI or SSDI benefits If participants do not meet requirements a medical CDR may be initiated by SSA
Employment Networks (EN) Provide employment, vocational rehabilitation, and other supports and services to beneficiaries Any public or private organization may apply to be an EN Must meet qualification requirements An EN may be one or multiple organizations
ENs cont.
EN's are compensated through "outcome based reimbursement" (OBR) payments Payments represent a portion of cost savings from SSDI or SSI cash benefits EN receives outcome payments for the months (up to 60) that the participant does not receive SSDI or SSI
ENs cont.
Milestone payment system available for ENs with beneficiaries who achieving goals of IWP, but not yet employed EN services include: Case management Workplace accommodations Peer mentoring and training Transportation assistance
Applicability of ADA to the Ticket Program EN classification affects applicability of ADA Individuals Cooperatives Community rehab providers WIA "One-stops" State VR agencies Private companies
ENs and Governing Law
Protects employees of EN's
Governs relationship between EN and Ticket participant (private entity)
Governs relationship between EN and Ticket participant (public entity)
Governs EN's receiving federal grants or contracts
Court Title II of ADA is to prevent public entities from excluding qualified individuals with disabilities from enjoying benefits of public services and activities USDJ Interprets Title II as requiring covered entities to make reasonable accommodations in services to avoid discrimination on basis of disability
Under Title III Places of public accommodation must provide equal access to
all persons
with disabilities, not just those who are "qualified" Includes private social service centers Includes those who own, lease,or operate a place of public accommodation as an EN
All Title II and Title III entities must provide Ticket participants
access to their facilities and services
ENs May not Discriminate BUT They
select beneficiaries to whom they will offer services based on - assessment of the needs of the ticket holder - abilities to assist the individual
As Title II Entities, ENs Must be physically and programmatically accessible Are not required to modify existing programs when these services are offered through alternative methods Are not required to modify services when doing so would fundamentally alter programs, or cause undue financial or administrative burden
Participant may choose to assign ticket to any public or private EN BUT Participant is also free to
the Ticket to another EN, and may choose to, for various reasons
As Title II Entities, ENs Must be physically and programmatically accessible Not required to modify existing services when these services are offered through alternative methods Not required to modify services if to do so would fundamentally alter the programs, or cause financial or administrative burden
Under ADA, Title III entities Must remove barriers or provide services through alternative methods when "readily achievable" Have a less stringent "undue burden" defense compared to Title II entities, because Title II is presumed to enable persons with disabilities to participate in governmental programs
Both Title II and Title III Require covered entities to ensure effective communication with those with disabilities Applicants Participants Members of the public Covered ENs are required to provide auxiliary aids and services when necessary to allow equal program access
Ticket Program requires ENs To have policies and procedures that protect the confidentiality of participants & those seeking services To prevent discrimination on the basis of a participant's age, gender, race, color, creed, or national origin
If EN is not qualified to serve a particular individual, The ADA's undue burden provision does not require the EN to serve that Ticket holder Where ADA accommodations are possible and reasonable, public or private ENs may not charge an individual to cover the cost of accommodations
Implementation Questions What is an ENs responsibility under the ADA to serve individuals with multiple disabilities?
Does the ADA prevent ENs from choosing to provide services only to the pool of least disabled or so called "creamed" participants?
• • Concerns about program implementation expressed by disability advocates reflect the potential emergence of Two separate and perhaps unequal markets for EN services: Those served by private specialized ENs Those served by state VR programs
Potential EN market imbalance As of August 1, 2002, in the 13 states piloting the Ticket program, less than 1% (.21) of Ticket holders have been assigned to 374 ENs In Iowa, for the same period, less than 1% (.34) of Ticket holders have assigned Tickets to 27 EN's
Virtually all program participants have either: Not used their Tickets OR Remained in state VR system instead of assigning their Ticket to an EN of their choice (85-95% of program participants who have assigned their tickets)
Although SSA is monitoring outcomes to ensure service choice Analysis of the Ticket payment structure is needed to assess the incentives and disincentives for employment providers and EN program specialization
The statute requires: SSA to design and implement a payment structure that allows individuals with significant disabilities to participate in the Ticket Program SSA is required to report to Congress on the adequacy of incentives for ENs to serve this population prior to full implementation of the program
SSA will need to maintain information on: Types of individuals with disabilities served Data on: disability type and severity economic status ethnicity geographical location placement rates acceptance & rejection standards
Information needed, cont.
Placement information on a regional basis by EN type, organizational size, and nature of disability served About how exclusion of individuals between ages 16 and 17, and those who have not had a CDR affects subsequent employment outcomes
Qualitative & Quantitative research needed on the Ticket Program in these areas: 1.
Who is being served in the Ticket Program?
Who is being rejected, and why?
What is the quality of service and employment outcomes?
What information or supports are needed to facilitate use of the Ticket?
Research questions, cont.
What are the economic incentives & disincentives to participants and ENs?
What is the nature of program access and accommodation for beneficiaries with multiple disabilities? And what are the associated costs and benefits?
What are the characteristics of participating ENs and service providers not participating?
Research questions, cont.
How does the restriction of Ticket eligibility to those 18 years or older affect youth with disabilities transitioning from school to work?
Have service alternatives and programs expanded, diminished, or stayed the same for Ticket holders with different types and severity of disability?
Research questions, cont.
How has Ticket implementation enhanced or diminished participants' informed choice and decision making about employment options?
What information is gathered and disseminated to Ticket holders and others about EN performance & customer satisfaction?
Research questions, cont.
What types of economic, attitudinal, and employment information are necessary to inform policy makers about the successes and challenges of Ticket Program implementation?
13. Will the ADA's anti-discrimination provisions and TWWIIA's reform of the work incentives affect attitudes towards workers with disabilities?
Research questions, cont.
14. Will the ADA and TWWIIA impact the attitudes of individuals with disabilities themselves with regard to their employment needs?
Broader issues about the American work force What types of skills will be needed for employers to remain competitive in the U.S. and abroad with the development of the knowledge-based economy?
Will our increasingly diversified and aging work force include millions of persons with emerging disabilities, such as TBI, repetitive stress conditions and multiple disabilities?
Broader issues, cont.
What will be the educational characteristics and job qualifications of the work force of young persons with disabilities?
What types of job training, assistive technology, and accommodations will be available to that work force?
How will the specific and generic policy changes in disability, welfare and healthcare affect that work force?
The Ticket is an important experiment in social policy The Ticket program prohibits discrimination not on the basis of disability per se, but on the basis of age, gender, race, and other status and service characteristics The program's goals reflect the disability policy framework and the ADA, which emphasize choice, equality of opportunity, and economic independence
New outcome measures needed Reduced dependence on government benefits Asset accumulation Use of federal and state tax credits and incentives to foster provision of workplace accommodations Perceived satisfaction of participants and ENs
Non-traditional measures of inclusion and self-determination need to be examined, augmented by a review of range of employment activities: Self-employment Entrepreneurial activities Temporary employment Tele-work
Researchers and Policy Makers must assess: The impact of Ticket Program OBR payment systems on service delivery options and quality Customer satisfaction with customized vocational service interventions The scope and intensity of work supports and training Barriers and facilitators to expanded service choice for Ticket holders
Research needs Review relation among generic and disability policies (WIA & TWWIIA) to assist Ticket holders to obtain & retain employment through Integration of job-related supports Enhancement of work incentives Access to affordable health care benefits
Research needs, cont.
Researchers must begin to cumulate information in ways that include Persons with Disabilities in The research design The data collection • • The analysis process The development of a body of research on the disability policy framrwork The cummulative research endeavor highlights perspectives and assumptions embedded in policy and research
As knowledge about Ticket Program implementation emerges: Education and training must be available to improve understanding of the protections afforded by the ADA to Ticket holders
Information should be disseminated to ENs about: - ADA responsibilities - Rights to enhanced services, programs, and accommodations that promote equal participation and supports
The goals of full inclusion and equal employment opportunity for qualified persons with disabilities in the Ticket Program is grounded in the disability policy framework
In 2002, the Supreme Court reiterated these objectives in
US Airways v. Barnett:
[The ADA] seeks to diminish or to eliminate the stereotypical thought processes, the thoughtless actions, and the hostile reactions that too often bar those with disabilities from participating fully in the Nation's life, including thee workplace…..These objectives demand unprejudiced thought and reasonable responsive reaction on the part of employers annd fellow workers alike.
The Court's enunciated goal is to ensure opportunity, participation, independent living and economic self-sufficiency by all those with disabilities in all aspects of society The common purpose is to develop policies that advance economic independence of all Americans with disabilities.

I spend my time doing a mixture of things- seeing friends, exercising, dining out, seeing new places, going on trips /vacations, walks at the park, a lot of the usual things. For me to discuss this with I am looking for somebody as positive and fun.
When the Itasca Illinois local married sluts is used by narcissists, they will show you how they've changed. They may admit fault in a number of their actions. It's necessary to remember that no component of the narcissist really considers that they did something wrong; they are ready to lie and deceive for you back and are playing a game.
Our bodily separation was tough on me. I had told him the night how much I hated separation and he said I would be fine but it's excruciating being for over two and a ayydubs online dating series an hour without direct communication.
The most important local black sluts Itasca IL is this: You want to work out these things on your own; either on your own, or with a professional who Itasca leaked local sluts truly mentor and guide you. Ultimately it's all about you needing to be a man. Someone appropriate who will offer a woman what she wants fears, and anxieties.

I headed back home to my garage. However, I felt I'd broken the ice in my widowhood. I was now a individual who was dating. That I could look on the bright craigslist casual sex alternative Itasca Illinois, although it might not have gone the way I imagined a Itasca pigs pimps and prostitutes would go: my date had been with a guy.
Why would a person let a narcissist back into their life after a lot of pain and disappointment? They may be convinced, either from the narcissist or their notions, that it will be different this time. The narcissist may return with gifts or promises. They might confess to the abuse, blaming something special or circumstances for their behaviour, followed by a date local sluts frre Itasca IL to improve. They may say Itasca teen casual sex meeting like" I've changed" or" I could get better. Let me show it to you. " All these are empty promises and lies as they're merely convincing you they are worth you will let them back in your daily life that will never materialize.
Discuss the rest of my life with him and my end goal with this Twin Flame relationship is to make peace. I am aware that I deserve my happiness- - this is the reason I persevere and hookers in cubia Itasca faith that everything will work out for us.
If you are one more analyzer: Find out about the field of knowledge or your date's passion. You will certainly get along simply fine if the both of you have things in typical. But if you are not interested in what she or he needs to say, do some research regarding it. Passion is established as you know an increasing number of regarding the subject. So as you know extra, you can relate even more and win over your day. The most effective way to win over their heart, is to take the effort as well as make decisions for them( you can discuss the details later) .

But there is more to it than that: a group was of strippers from the analysis who left money than those menstruating. They left less than half as much cash as the ovulators.
As you will notice from the example below, that some men do not prefer to use full stops or commas, or any type of break in respect to grammatical mistakes. This typically requires a xxx local sluts gif gif Itasca IL or second read of the paragraph to make some sense and makes it difficult to read. Fucking annoying to say the least.
I have many times told women that I just met, I really like their buttocks or breasts. How I view it, it's just polite. She knows all the time she has the balls to say it and spent to seem like this is appreciated by someone.
The telephone conversation is really a giant leap in the Itasca Illinois because you are taking it and bringing it into the real hookers gta 4. When emailing, since they are red flags and the very same precautions are as valid when talking on the phone. Keep them in mind and pay attention to them.
Your spouse has refused to accept some do prostitutes orgasm Itasca IL for the relationship issues and has refused to become involved in counseling or other expansion activities. The breakup is 1way to" reach your spouse over the head with a two- by- four" to be able to get his or her attention.
Bikini- - A secure thick local sluts Brentwood of panty which is female, that does feel great but that you might have to be cautious about if you wear slacks. In cases like this, choose the ones that don't have you pulling your panties up and reaching your pants down all evening and select ones that don't show the seams. Sloggi do a good Itasca Illinois local sluts gif for with tight trousers.
I've seen it time and again catches, but the local sluts pics Wellston so he thought, they had a salt lake city hookers for, was not prepared to settle down and was too busy enjoying himself. Marking his spots everywhere and running he went. The majority of the time have left a lot of women. only woman would settle down and make her, since if they had it as if there was something wrong with them.
For removing your profile, my recommendation is not any sooner based on the number of dates you've been on and you are feeling. Do not take your profile down following the meeting and do not get offended if he does.
Throughout my senior year, I met my first long- term relationship that lasted three decades. We did not start dating until after I graduated from high school. She was hot and also very spontaneous and wild. She had been raised in a somewhat religious household and those are inclined to be the wildest. Perhaps she felt like her parents held her back and she wanted to be free and do anything she desired. I remember having intercourse. It was a first for the two of us. Since it was somewhat taboo, I just wanted to test it. I believe most girls don't enjoy it. If I had to guess, I would say only about ten per cent of all girls enjoy it. She said she'd try anything once. Well, she didn't like it. I remember her telling me that it made her constipated. Sucks for her! Something I really could check off my bucket listing, although it was fine for me, not that fascinating.
" It's the only photo I have of me with no shirt. Do not you like it? " " No. You appear to be a dickhead. " I know that it's pointless to get mad at these men but sometimes I can not help it.
She straddled me, popping my prick in herself as she placed her arms around my neck, wriggled and settled down to kiss me deep and long and sat up with a defiant look in her eye. I let her have that one as she started to pump her hips backwards and forwards until she calmly climbed off and came again with a shudder.
PAY ATTENTION: PRETTY GIRLS The most beautiful girls frequently have a very low self- esteem for various reasons I am not going to list. However, you have to be mindful about the so- called halo effect, which is that each time we visit a prostitutes enid ok Itasca Illinois with an angelic face. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THIS.
With him, also, what else is new. It's simply not possible for him to see how she would ever do" no thing" in the future except watch Oprah and tape the Itasca Illinois. Of not performing your part is a horrible negative, this idea could n` t you believe? It would not be a thought to put to a book on dating would it. You'd hate to think somebody you had outdated hotly only this week could fall in the category of jerks who do not do their role. Throughout the first thirteen weeks this anastasia online dating of thinking almost never occurs. It is too negative. You won't ever hear from any girl, " It was our very first date and he was wonderful but he did not do his role on the very first date. " You will not hear it.

If you are told by a girl via text messaging she wants to have sex with you, then there's a big chance you won't have a local sluts once you meet with her again in person. Your date will have a tone that is formal, and you may have the opportunity to skip the dating process and go directly to bed with your partner.

Mike and Lauren now show up at the ranch. Nikki's prattling on about the weather is cut off – we really need to see Victor. The Baldwins are left alone to wonder whether Victor will help them – saving a journalist is a cause he might be willing to fight for. We need your help – there's no time to lose! Lauren wastes no time when Nikki returns with Victor.
Fully updated by Billy, Lily can't believe Jill was fooled by Collin again – and now SHE'S sharing her home with the father in law from hell. Cane can't let his Father live on the street – and she gave Collin money to go buy his stuff back. Billy hopes Cane appreciates what an awesome wife he has (especially now that he has more responsibility) Oh, you haven't heard? Cane's in a meeting right now about overseeing the Asian branch. Vikki, Cane, and Juliette all come out for introductions. After Juliette steps aside to take a call, Cane tells Vikki that the meeting couldn't have gone better. Billy's eyebrows do a dance.
Lauren shows Victor and Nikki the text the kidnappers sent her – we need 10 million (and will pay you back every dime) How do we know Scotty's alive and that they'll keep their word? Victor has to ask. None of the authorities know anything – which makes things more complicated, Victor concludes. In tears, Lauren needs to know if Victor will help – you'd move heaven and earth to save one of your children. Lauren begs him to do the same for hers.
Lily's thrilled for Cane ~hug~ In the conference room, Billy thinks Vikki a brilliant strategist (now Cane won't be complaining around here)
Whatever Ester made Jill to eat 'isn't horrible. I'm actually eating it', she calls out. Are you happy now? she asks Kay's portrait.
At the Ashby's, Collin feels around the mysterious music box and finds a hidden to City Trust and Savings.
Victor will help on one condition; Mike and Lauren must do exactly what he says. Let's get to work. Nikki's left to look worried.
Next: Cane questions Vikki: I'm kinda wondering if giving me this assignment was your clever way of getting me out of your hair… Collin's in a room of safety deposit boxes – stunned at the boxed ring he's holding …. Victor, Mike and Nikki stand by as Lauren's on the phone – I need to know that my son's alive – send me a picture of him NOW, she demands.

The government must stop using undocumented migrant workers as an additional source of income, a rights group said today following the announcement of the Home Ministry's latest amnesty programme.
Tenaganita executive director Glorene Das stressed that the government has an obligation to assist undocumented migrants, as many have fallen victim to fraud in relation to previous amnesty programmes.
"Workers have paid a high amount of fees to the government for the rehiring programme so we (the country) have an obligation to them.
"We must stop using them as our ATMs," Glorene (photo) said in a statement.
The 3+1 Amnesty Programme, which ended on Aug 30 last year, saw the government reportedly collect RM400 million in compounds from the 840,000 undocumented migrants repatriated.
Three companies had been hired to carry out a rehiring exercise for undocumented migrants, but Tenaganita noted that the move failed to address the root cause of the issue.
"In fact, the rehiring programme, which began in early 2016, has not been transparent as it involved brokers and sub-agents in the regularisation process, leaving thousands of foreign workers with undocumented status and until today, they are unaware their status.
"Can there be any redress and justice for these workers?" she asked, noting that many undocumented migrants had paid thousand of ringgit only to be fooled by rogue agents.
Hefty fine
In announcing the government's Back For Good Amnesty Programme yesterday, Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin (photo) said the government had no obligation to assist workers who are reluctant to leave because of disputes with their employers.
Das, however, argued that the government must come up with a national comprehensive policy for labour migration, and take into account the years of input by Tenaganita and other stakeholders.
The latest amnesty programme for undocumented migrants begins in August and lasts until midnight Dec 31.
Eligible migrant workers are required to surrender themselves at 80 immigration counters across Peninsular Malaysia, together with valid travel documents and a one-way ticket to return to their country of origin within seven days.
A reduced compound of RM700 each will be imposed on all migrants who accept the terms of the latest programme.
Allow renewal
Meanwhile, the Building and Wood Workers' International-Malaysian Liason Council (BWI-MLC) is urging the government to consider allowing undocumented migrants to renew their work visas.
BWI-MLC spokesperson Nor Azlan Yaacob stated the RM700 fine would only serve to disincentivise them from coming forward.
Azlan claimed many migrant workers wishing to leave were impoverished and taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers.
Many may have had to pay for their own food and lodgings "with wages that are far below the minimum wage of RM1,100," he said.
"A quick check with our fellow union affiliates from the various countries of origin of migrant workers in Malaysia gave us a rough understanding of how far the RM700 will help sustain a decent living for those returning to their villages with meagre savings.
"In Bangladesh, it is estimated that RM700 will allow them to pay a two-month rent, or pay one-year school fees for a child.
"In Nepal, our counterparts made an approximation that RM700 will help a family of five to cover school fees and household provisions for at least two and a half months," he added.

Inspiration can be found in many places, and author AE Wasserman is proof of that. She sees her border collie Topper as her muse. They take hikes together in Los Padres National Forest, where Wasserman can get away from the distractions and urgencies of everyday life. She says when she is up there with Topper, ideas float to her, and she can more clearly think about character and plot. When Topper was younger, Wasserman says, he would run into the forest in a pattern similar to how border collies herd sheep. In effect, he was herding Wasserman's words. Now, Topper appears in all of Wasserman's author photos and marketing, and has his own social media profiles and fans. There is also a border collie in every book she writes.

It's a Femora Cream of substantial proportions. I have not been convinced that these Femora Cream questions are relevant. Let's just throw that against the wall and see what sticks. As you do this more and more, you'll start to get a feel for these things. I don't have to get involved in a flame war. We have to be realistic germane to using this.
I have a couple of faith in using this. The only good part is this tendency. If you don't have this then you have no other choice. Femora Cream involves a lot of sacrifice.

Dell ed2kb Application
- Posted: Sat Aug 01 2015 12:56:53 GMT-0500 (CDT)

Unfortunately, this project is not public (closed source and/or behind a corporate login/VPN/firewall), so I can only provide a summary of the work performed. #TODO: I am currently in the planning stages of similar implimentations, to serve as cross-platform GUIs to several command line applications, which I will publish on my GitHub profile.
This was a desktop application (built with nw.js using modern web technologies) I developed for the Global Services Learning & Development team's publishers to migrate 10 years' worth of reference material content
This application allows publishers to convert product reference material (used by Dell technicians when dispatched to service equipment at client sites) from its original, multi-page HTML format to a single-page format suitable for publishing in Dell's knowledge base system.
Initially, I developed this as a Bash script (initial requirements did not involve direct use by publishers) using PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expressions), but the variations between different reference material formats over the years proved to be too numerous to efficiently manage parsing with regex.
In my search for a more efficient parser, I happened upon Cheerio, a Node.js plugin which allowed the use of jQuery selectors on the back end. This lent an enormous boost in efficiency, and parsing the various formats became mostly a simple matter of "if" statements and "or" (,) selectors.
When the requirements changed to include a GUI for publishers to do the conversion themselves, nw.js (formerly Node-Webkit) seemed like a logical choice. Not only could it be used to create a Windows app for the majority of use cases, but also Linux (and OS X, but nobody from Dell is using that... at least not on the clock), and even Android/Windows Phone would require only slight modifications (via Cordova).
The end result was a simple app that would allow publishers to convert multi-page HTML reference material in 3 simple steps:
- Click the "Choose Folder" button to choose the directory on their workstation or Windows share (default) containing the multi-page HTML.
- Click the "Convert" button, which:
- Parses the relevant sections of each page, stripping existing CSS and inline style attributes.
- Combines the parsed/sanitized HTML into a single page.
- Adds CSS compliant with the knowledge base system's style guidelines (and ensures that images/Flash simulators/etc. do not exceed the guidelines' maximum width), as well as print-only styles.
- Click "Copy to Clipboard" to, well, copy to clipboard, and paste into the knowledge base system's WYSIWYG editor, review, and publish.

Sallie tries to brush aside her growing feelings for Kevin, but she fears what her parents would think about her new friendship. Just as concerning, however, is Sallie's realization that her time in Cape May is increasing her desire to see the world, challenging her plans for the future. Has she been too hasty with her promises, or will Sallie only find what her heart is longing for back home in Paradise Township?Learn More
The Christmas Remedy
An Amish Christmas RomanceAuthor: Cindy Woodsmall & Erin WoodsmallNarrator: Christina MooreRuntime: 6.1 Hrs. - UnabridgedWhen an Old Order Amish woman takes a job at a small-town pharmacy struggling to survive in a world of 'big box' stores, her motive is to help her Plain community. But the advent of the holiday season brings an unusual mystery to the surface--and possibly love. Twenty-four-year-old Holly Zook lives a unique life for a young Amish woman. Years ago, her bishop allowed her to continue her education and become the lead technician for Greene's Pharmacy, an old-timey drugstore that looks out for the Amish community--a group largely without secure healthcare plans. She knows she can't marry and hold onto her professional job. She's Amish, and she can only have one or the other, so she spurns love and works toward addressing treatable diseases--like the one that claimed her father's life. As long as Holly continues to avoid Joshua Smucker, the one man who draws her like a warm hearth in winter, she should be fine. When something unexpected threatens Greene's Pharmacy, Holly and Joshua must work together to unravel what's happened and find the 'missing' patient before the Board of Pharmacy shuts them down. As the snows of December arrive, with Christmas in the air, will Holly succumb to the generous spirit of the season?Learn More

AN: Taji and I are going to try this thing where we dedicate some time each week to personally writing something to share with each other. With work, class, life, etc. piling on, it's been harder and harder to write and complete something for my personal blog here but I'm committed to get something out that I can be relatively proud of haha.
Anyway, this drabble features two new characters I'm bringing into the Defender RP. I needed more action in the RP and currently Adelle alone wasn't enough haha xD So now I've created these two characters I'm excited to start working on. One is a female and a lead pilot for her team named Cypress. The other is a male pilot and a bit of a grump named Quill. I've been making character designs via the app Doodle Face so I will likely add those soon to the blog so you guys can get a good look of what I'm picturing for them in my mind.
Anyway, Cypress is the leader so to speak and has a personality where she doesn't allow any nonsense in her presence. She is tough with her team but has their best interests at heart. She is dedicated to the mission at hand and will not tolerate personal quims in her presence. She doesn't have much to say regarding the time travelers. All she cares about is if they are a good part of the team and will do what they can to achieve the mission.
Quill on the other hand despises the time travelers and often has something to remark about them, even in the field. I look forward to having him in interactions with Elliot and Adelle. He's a strong, hot-headed soldier and likes to show off on occasion. When I say he's strong, I mean he could shatter bones by grabbing people if he let himself. He's trained all his life to exceed the expectations of his generation. His family has always had a distaste for the time travelers and their abilities to slip into the game with ease. Also, he blames the time travelers for the state of their world and the battles they face.
Cypress and Quill are friends from the past so their interactions outside of battle are more in line with that. In battle though, Cypress ain't got time for your shit lmao. I going to try and build up their characters more and more in the drabbles so that when I feature them in the RP I can be really proud of what they accomplish. Anyway hope you guys enjoy!
Smoke curled from the diminished remains of the cigarette perching at her lips, Cypress's narrowed gaze upon the ruins of one of the ancient cities that had fallen to war and rebellion. Her usual Sunday rides would lead her to the same destination time and time again, recollections of her family's history residing in the ghosts residing in the collapsed civilization before her. For some, it would be a painful reminder of what was lost. For her, it was a way forward, a reminder of what she was fighting for. Each week she would ride her motorcycle and take in the sights, promising the world she would protect she deemed worth fighting for.
Today however was different. A haggard expression was hard to hide, even through her tinted sunglasses. Bawled fists buried themselves in the pockets of her pilot jacket. Every inch of her was tense, struggling to hold together in the midst of the destroyed landscape before her. At her shoulder, her core Cedar chimed on occasion but remained quiet to allow the pilot her time to deal with her growing emotions.
The faint purr of another motorcycle crept to her senses, Cypress choosing to ignore its approach as she continued her piece together her thoughts. After all, there was only one other person who knew of her weekly ritual. She was all-too-familiar with the roar of that bike and there was no escaping him once he put his mind into finding her.
The aged relic of a motorcycle came barreling down the broken road, the rider bringing it to a slow before creeping it closer to the woman's own more-modern of the two bikes. Funny how someone who disliked those from the past would cherish their technology more so than the technology of his own time. Once he screeched to a halt, the rider pulled off the helmet to reveal one of Cypress' oldest friends, Quill Peters (I'm laughing at the accidental homage to Guardians of the Galaxy right now hahaha).
"Figured I'd find you here," said the pilot as he slid off his seat, careful to scoop up his core Ceil before making his way over to the woman's side. "Heard from the Captain-." (I'm still unsure of the ranks for this story so for now I'm going with Captain lol)
Cypress pulled a hand from the confines of her pocket, reaching up to peel the dwindling remains of the cigarette from her lips. A steady stream of smoke rolled into the air before she spoke, "Did you now? And what by chance did you hear?"
Quill's brow raised at the question. "You're being promoted to the team leader," he answered. (I'm probably mutilating the ranks so much, I'm so sorry xD) "What's with the frustration huh? Thought you'd be thrilled. You were clearly the best out of our entire squadron. It's only fair you gain the top prize. Hell, soon you'll even take his place as Captain."
The woman seemed to turn her nose up at such a statement, once more returning the cigarette to its rightful place. A frown formed on Quill's lips at the response, his temper bubbling up. How he hated to be treated as inferior, especially by her. Cypress excelled in nearly everything they competed in throughout their lives together, forcing Quill to play second fiddle to her greatness. And when that attitude of hers came crawling forth, it was hard not to bare his fangs against her.
"I drove all the way out here to check on you and you gonna act like a bitch to me, really?" He hissed through gritted teeth, the woman continuing to ignore her companion's presence as the cigarette continued to burn away into nothingness. "Aren't you supposed to be happy huh? This is big and you acting like it's a god damn problem is insulting, especially to those who lost out to you."
The statement seemed to catch the woman's attention as she tilted her head towards her companion, once more removing the cigarette from her lips so she could speak. "I have led you to misunderstand it seems."
"What gave it away?" Quill growled, folding his arms as he narrowed his eyes upon the woman.
"Fair point," she remarked with a shrug, flicking away the unwanted ash of her cigarette as she thought of how best to respond. "The Captain's words this morning…struck a chord."
Fury simmered into confusion. "What do you mean by that? From what I saw, he was bloody ecstatic to have you be promoted," he said with a raised brow. "What could he have possibly said to strike you the wrong way? Did he say you fight like a girl or something. Because you would have beat him up right then and said thanks for the compliment. Just saying."
Cypress showed hints of a smile forming, though it quickly dissipated as she shook her head. "He compared me to my grandfather."
Further confusion settled upon the man as he shook his head. "Dude was a war hero won't he? Shouldn't that be a compliment and not something that gets your panties all in a bunch."
The woman gestured forward to the ruined city, the decrepit remains a haunting reminder of the past. "This place used to be a beautiful city filled with citizens. However, a single mistake aided in its demise. This destroyed city left to rot was his fault. He let rebellion claim it and many lost their lives because of it," Cypress hummed, a hint of regret in the tone of her voice as she spoke. "He ignored any speak of an attack, instead focusing his efforts elsewhere. So when the attack finally came at full force, the troops were unprepared for the battle ahead. Evacuation was practically pointless by the time the soldiers made their stand. This ruined city was a plague on his heart ever since. And to think, this could still be a beautiful landscape had he listened to the warnings."
Quill scanned the ruins for a moment, his confusion settling as he offered a nod in response.
"Mistakes that could cause so much bloodshed, so much loss for innocent lives-no, I never want to make such dangerous mistakes as this," Cypress remarked, tossing the cigarette upon the path before pressing her heel into its remains. "Being compared to my grandfather-the memories, the stories all came flooding back from my childhood. Memories of when he and my family were reminded of that shameful past. He would bring me out here you know, tell me about the attack and how it would often replay in his mind. He would remember each and every detail. And he would remind himself of every instance where he could of done something differently. I never want to experience that. Ever."
The pair grew silent for a moment, Cypress continuing to stare upon the remains of the past while Quill buried his hands into his pockets. Sure, he could somewhat understand her reasoning but something just didn't add up in his mind.
Holding back his frustrations, he began, "But that was just one battle. One instance in his life. He continued to fight and was claimed a war hero for a reason. The pain from this one attack was there of course but he continued to fight. He learned from that mistake and went on to save countless others. I'd say it's an honor for someone to be reminded of him when looking at you and your accomplishments."
Her sunglasses slid on the bridge of her nose as she glanced towards her companion, a flash of interest in her eyes as she waited for him to continue.
"Stop pouting and start celebrating, jeez," he huffed, a frown forming on his lips as he glared at the fallen city before them. "That mistake is there for you to learn from as well. You can be the leader you wish to be. You can take what your grandfather has taught you from his past and use it to lead the charge and save countless lives. You can be the protector you want to be. So stop moping already and let's go celebrate before you kick my ass tomorrow in drills."
A small grin formed on the woman's lips as she stretched her limbs. "Interesting concept. You'd think I'd let you drink away the evening before we have drills tomorrow? My, no wonder you were not the one to claiming the leadership role," she hummed as she scooped Cedar into her hold, slipping the core onto her bike before straddling the seat. Removing her sunglasses, she then slipped on her helmet and gestured for her companion to follow suit. "Forgive me for my hesitance. I suppose you did make some sense, Quill. I am proud to be compared to my grandfather. I'll surpass him though. I won't make the same mistakes he did. He taught me too well to let those moments happen."
"I feel like your sincerity is coated in sarcasm and witty retorts at the expense of myself," Quill growled underneath his breath as he followed suit, tossing his helmet on once more as he gestured back down the roads towards civilization. "Whatever Cy, let's just get back home already and you can go tell your grandfather the good news. And then we drink and enjoy ourselves god damn it. If I'm going to get insulted regardless, might as well be drunk when it happens."
"Sometimes I wonder how you even manage to stay in shape and excel in our troops with such a foul attitude and terrible drinking habit," Cypress mused, thankful her helmet hid her grin as she revved up the engine of her bike. "Fine, I'll share one drink in celebration. A favor to you for joining me and allowing me to mumble about insecurities. But then it's off to bed so we can be ready for drills in the morning. Oh, and you're paying after all. I'm the guest of honor."
Before Quill could protest, Cypress' bike had darted off along the dusty road, kicking up a cloud in its wake as she traveled without him. "Yeah yeah whatever, congrats to you," he muttered with a grin of his own before charging after his companion, his core Ceil chiming along as they drove off towards town.

Disney+ will be available on Amazon Fire TV devices for the November 12th launch after all, according to The Wall Street Journal, following a WSJ report last month that said the streaming service may not be available on Amazon products due to a disagreement over advertising.
CEO Bob Iger announced the news on Disney's fourth quarter earnings call, alongside news that Disney+ will also be available on LG and Samsung smart TVs. "We're pleased to announce partnerships with Amazon Fire [TV], LG, and Samsung devices."
Per the WSJ's original report, the fight over Disney+ on Fire TV was due to a dispute over advertising rights in Disney's apps, including those for ABC, ESPN, and the Disney Channel. It's not clear whether Disney agreed to Amazon's terms, but the two companies have come to some sort of agreement. That means that Disney+ will be coming to Fire TV devices — and that existing Disney apps will be allowed to stick around on Amazon's streaming platform, too.
Whatever the terms, though, having Amazon on board is a big win for Disney heading into the launch of Disney+ on November 12th. Amazon's Fire TV platform is the one of the two largest streaming platform in the world (along with Roku), which is a lot of potential customers that Disney's hoping will sign up for the new service.
The post Disney reaches deal with Amazon to put Disney+ on Fire TV devices appeared first on The Verge.
