The campus in San Francisco's Chinatown is one of nine City College campuses. It's in the heart of Chinatown and now, that community is stepping forward and adding its voice to scores of others concerned about the fate of the school.
"We are facing a civil rights crisis," Director of the non-profit Chinese for Affirmative Action Vincent Pan said describing the situation. Those are strong words, but with 75 percent of the 85,000 students at City College of San Francisco black, Asian and Latino, the possibility of the school losing its accreditation and closing would have serious consequences.
"I would say without exaggeration City College has been the foundation of my success," graduate David Nguyen told ABC7 News. He has finished his courses and is now headed to San Francisco State but he, like others who gathered for Thursday's news conference, are worried for future of City College.
Not only has it put scores of students on their educational path, Pan says it goes beyond that. "You also have thousands and thousands of immigrant families who depend on City College for that first leg into American society, primarily by learning English," he said.
Last month, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced the school's accreditation will be terminated next summer, but officials there are fighting it and have put in a request for review. That process could take months. In the meantime, students are registering for fall classes that begin next week.
So far, there's a drop of about 13 percent in enrollment. Supporters of the college worry that decline could further destabilize the school and now, the Chinese for Affirmative Action is joining other supporters in launching a campaign to save the college.
President of the Board of Trustees John Rizzo believes the actions could help. "I don't know if pressure is the right word. They don't see themselves as being pressured, but I think people can be influenced by what the community thinks," he said.
Now, to add to the uncertainty surrounding accreditation, the school and its faculty are in the middle of labor negotiations which teachers say broke off Thursday night with no agreement.

Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Reviews
In Our Backyard Garden
Illustrator: Marcy Ramsey
Poetry Picture Book
For ages 4 to 8
Simon and Schuster, 2004 ISBN: 0689826664
For one family their back yard is a bit like another room in their house - it is a place where they do all sorts of things all year round. We begin our journey through the year when everyone comes outdoors to plant a tree on the day when the new baby is born. Then there is the day when Mom gives Dad a haircut out under the oak tree, his hair falling onto the grass and providing wonderful nesting materials for the birds.
Later in the year there is a large party in the yard which relatives from the city come to bringing food and friends with them. It is wonderful time though there are a few mishaps, as there always are.
The garden is also the place where arguments bloom along with the tomatoes and where Postman Joe meets, and later falls in love with, Aunt Sissy. In the fall everyone rakes the leaves, and in the winter Aunt Sissy and the little girl of the house run around in the snow in their pajamas.
This wonderful portrait of a year in a country garden touches on so many of the activities that family members share when they are close and do things together. Eileen Spinelli captures the cyclical nature of the garden year; she lets us watch the baby grow; she invites us to a wedding; and we end our visit with another, different kind of tree planting ceremony. Warm, often funny, and superbly written in free verse this picture book will delight young children and those who read to them.

Nigeria's election commission has declared Muhammadu Buhari the winner of the country's bitterly contested presidential election, in a vote marred marred by confusion, arguments and violence.
"Buhari was able to get more than 25 percent of votes in 24 states, which means there won't be a run-off vote," she said.
To win the election, Buhari had needed to win more than 50 percent of the total votes nationally – and take at least 25 percent of the vote in two thirds of the states.
According to the Reuters news agency, Buhari's APC won by 2.1 million votes, with 15.4 million votes versus 13.3 for Jonathan and the PDP.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) party said their candidate received a phone call from incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan where he immediately conceded defeat and congratulated Buhari on his victory.
"President Jonathan called General Muhammadu Buhari, the winner of the elections, to congratulate him," Lai Mohammed, the spokesman for the APC said.
"There had always been this fear that he might not want to concede, but he will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down dramatically,
"Anyone who tries to foment trouble on the account that they have lost the election will be doing so purely on his own," he added.
Victory for Buhari, a former military ruler, marks the first time in Nigeria's history that an opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from the ruling party.
Jonathan congratulates Buhari, Tinubu
It has been reported that President Goodluck Jonathan has called his major challenger and the likely-winner of the 2015 presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC to congratulate him.
According to a source, the president spoke with Muhammadu Buhari on the phone and will address the country after rounding off his meeting with his cabinet.
He also spoke with the National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

More and more clients are using WordPress as their CMS. As a designer or developer, you should really get into WordPress coding. To get started, you can read my WordPress theme guide and hacks. Now, I would like to recommend a resourceful WordPress site to you called WpRecipes. This post contains over 20 recipes that I hand picked from WpRecipes. If you have any good WordPress code or hacks that you want to share, feel free to send them over and I will post it.
In your theme folder, paste the following code to the functions.php file. If you don't have a functions.php file, create one.
function dropdown_tag_cloud( $args = '' ) {
$defaults = array(
'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 22, 'unit' => 'pt', 'number' => 45,
'format' => 'flat', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC',
'exclude' => '', 'include' => ''
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
$tags = get_tags( array_merge($args, array('orderby' => 'count', 'order' => 'DESC')) ); // Always query top tags
if ( empty($tags) )
$return = dropdown_generate_tag_cloud( $tags, $args ); // Here's where those top tags get sorted according to $args
if ( is_wp_error( $return ) )
return false;
echo apply_filters( 'dropdown_tag_cloud', $return, $args );
function dropdown_generate_tag_cloud( $tags, $args = '' ) {
global $wp_rewrite;
$defaults = array(
'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 22, 'unit' => 'pt', 'number' => 45,
'format' => 'flat', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC'
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
if ( !$tags )
$counts = $tag_links = array();
foreach ( (array) $tags as $tag ) {
$counts[$tag->name] = $tag->count;
$tag_links[$tag->name] = get_tag_link( $tag->term_id );
if ( is_wp_error( $tag_links[$tag->name] ) )
return $tag_links[$tag->name];
$tag_ids[$tag->name] = $tag->term_id;
$min_count = min($counts);
$spread = max($counts) - $min_count;
if ( $spread <= 0 )
$spread = 1;
$font_spread = $largest - $smallest;
if ( $font_spread <= 0 )
$font_spread = 1;
$font_step = $font_spread / $spread;
// SQL cannot save you; this is a second (potentially different) sort on a subset of data.
if ( 'name' == $orderby )
uksort($counts, 'strnatcasecmp');
if ( 'DESC' == $order )
$counts = array_reverse( $counts, true );
$a = array();
$rel = ( is_object($wp_rewrite) && $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) ? ' rel="tag"' : '';
foreach ( $counts as $tag => $count ) {
$tag_id = $tag_ids[$tag];
$tag_link = clean_url($tag_links[$tag]);
$tag = str_replace(' ', ' ', wp_specialchars( $tag ));
$a[] = "\t<option value='$tag_link'>$tag ($count)</option>";
switch ( $format ) :
case 'array' :
$return =& $a;
case 'list' :
$return = "
\n\t
";
$return .= join("
\n\t
", $a);
$return .= "
\n
\n";
default :
$return = join("\n", $a);
return apply_filters( 'dropdown_generate_tag_cloud', $return, $tags, $args );
Now open the file where you want the list to be displayed and paste the following code:
<select name="tag-dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="#">Tags</option>
<?php dropdown_tag_cloud('number=0&order=asc'); ?>
Via: WpRecipes Credits: WpHacks
Just before the loop starts, paste the following code. Change the dates on line 3 according to your needs.
function filter_where($where = '') {
$where .= " AND post_date >= '2009-05-01' AND post_date <= '2009-05-15'";
return $where;
add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
Add the query_posts() function just before the Loop. Change the
meta_key and
meta_value accordingly. The example shown below will get posts with custom field "review_type" with value "movie".
<?php query_posts('meta_key=review_type&meta_value=movie'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Via: WpRecipes Credits: John Kolbert
Paste the following code before the loop. This code will retrieve the 5 most recent sticky posts. To change the number of retrieved posts, just change the 5 by the desired value on line 4.
$sticky = get_option('sticky_posts');
rsort( $sticky );
$sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 5);
query_posts( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'caller_get_posts' => 1 ) );
Via: WpRecipes Credits: Justin Tadlock
In your theme folder, functions.php file, paste the following code. This code will automatically insert the content after each post in your RSS feeds. Hence you can use this code to insert ads or promotional text.
function insertFootNote($content) {
if(!is_feed() && !is_home()) {
$content.= "
Enjoyed this article?
";
$content.= "
Subscribe to our RSS feed
";
return $content;
add_filter ('the_content', 'insertFootNote');
Via: WpRecipes Credits: Cédric Bousmane
Just paste the following code in your template file where you want to display the most commented posts (eg. sidebar.php). To change the number of displayed posts, simply change the 5 on line 3.

Popular Posts

<?php $result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT comment_count,ID,post_title FROM $wpdb->posts ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 0 , 5");
foreach ($result as $post) {
$postid = $post->ID;
$title = $post->post_title;
$commentcount = $post->comment_count;
if ($commentcount != 0) { ?>

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($postid); ?>" title="<?php echo $title ?>">
<?php echo $title ?> {<?php echo $commentcount ?>}

<?php } } ?>
Via: WpRecipes Credits: ProBlogDesign

Most commented posts from 2008

$result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT comment_count,ID,post_title, post_date FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date BETWEEN '2008-01-01' AND '2008-12-31' ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 0 , 10");
foreach ($result as $topten) {
$postid = $topten->ID;
$title = $topten->post_title;
$commentcount = $topten->comment_count;
if ($commentcount != 0) {

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($postid); ?>"><?php echo $title ?>

<?php }
Via: WpRecipes
This code will display related posts based on the current post tag(s). It must be pasted within the loop.
//for use in the loop, list 5 post titles related to first tag on current post
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
if ($tags) {
echo 'Related Posts';
$first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
'tag__in' => array($first_tag),
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

Open the header.php file. Paste the following code in between the
<title> tag.
<?php if ( $cpage < 2 ) {}
else { echo (' - comment page '); echo ($cpage);}
Via: WpRecipes Credits: Malcolm Coles
The following code will display 10 future posts.

Future events

<?php query_posts('showposts=10&post_status=future'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php the_title(); ?> <?php the_time('j. F Y'); ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
No future posts.
<?php endif; ?>
Via: WpRecipes
To randomize posts order, just add the following code before the Loop.
//the Loop here...
Via: WpRecipes
Open single.php and paste the following code where you want to display the word count.
<?php function count_words($str){
$words = 0;
$str = eregi_replace(" +", " ", $str);
$array = explode(" ", $str);
for($i=0;$i < count($array);$i++)
if (eregi("[0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ]", $array[$i]))
return $words;
Word count: <?php echo count_words($post->post_content); ?>
Via: WpRecipes
To display RSS feeds, you can use the WordPress built-in RSS parser. To do so, include the rss.php file, and then use its
wp_rss() function.
<?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php');
wp_rss('http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WebDesignerWall', 5); ?>
Via: WpRecipes
Open search.php file and find the
the_title() function. Replace it with the following:
echo $title;
Now, just before the modified line, add this code:
$title = get_the_title();
$keys= explode(" ",$s);
$title = preg_replace('/('.implode('|', $keys) .')/iu',
'\0',
Then open the style.css file. Add the following line to it:
strong.search-excerpt { background: yellow; }

Open the functions.php file and paste the following code:
function getTinyUrl($url) {
$tinyurl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=".$url);
return $tinyurl;
In the single.php file, paste the following within the loop where you want to display the TinyURL:
$turl = getTinyUrl(get_permalink($post->ID));
echo 'Tiny Url for this post: '.$turl.''
Via: WpRecipes

<?php if( is_search() ) :
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
endif; ?>
//the Loop here...
Via: WpRecipes
Open the functions.php file from your theme. If your theme doesn't have a functions.php file, create one. Paste the following code in it:

Open the functions.php file, paste the following code.
<?php function wprecipes() {
return 'Have you checked out WpRecipes today?';
add_shortcode('wpr', 'wprecipes');

I hope theses recipes will be helpful for your readers!
Excellent resource. Thanks.
hi nick,
that is exactly what i was looking for, great timing :) .
One more really useful post.
thanks a lot.
wonderful post! now waiting for some wordpress appetizers!

Nice Tips and tricks nick…. thanks for sharing !!!
DKumar M.
FABULOUS!! Thank you for posting!
Finally! We were waiting a long article another freat article as this! Thanks
great collection of some codes! Have been wanting to use a few of these. Bookmarked!
Bookmarked! thank you for doing this
I just added the related posts code to my post footer, and added the twitter count to my about page. It works great, and is easy to use.
Thanks again!
Early days with my understanding of WordPress but these look really useful thanks.
I particularly like the one to display future posts – does that mean I can see in advance what I will post next week? Would be a great timesaver as I could just cut and paste it then post it :)
Fantastic list! great to see all of these in one place. WP development is something im personally expanding my knowledge on and this will really help.
Cheers for this! :-)
Not sure if this was an error made in haste, but the code snippet you provide in the "Automatically Insert Content In Your Feeds" example won't actually insert that piece of content into a feed. It does a check to make sure the content is NOT a feed and NOT on the homepage and then inserts some static content at the bottom of the post (on an individual post page, for instance). In this case, that additional content simply suggests subscribing to the RSS feed for the site.
Hope that clears up confusion for anyone just cutting and pasting that snippet, and thanks to the author for passing on the WpRecipes.com resource!
Perfect post at the perfect time. I was just working on many of these for a re-design. Thanks!
A lovely resources, thanks!
Thanks for these they will come in very handy!
Thank you for this great tutorial on wordpress…
Cheers Mate!
The tiny URL tweak has a major flaw: it queries the shortened url on every page load which slows down the page!
I've written a plugin which fixes this problem by caching the url – it can be found at the wordpress codex at:
or directly on my blog:
excellent post as always. the social links are difinitely helpful and gets rid of a plugin for me. fresh!
Lots of great snipets to use. Thanks for the info!
Nice write up, very comprehensive!
I used the related post hack and it's not showing anything. It's just showing the text "Related Posts". I made two sample posts with the tag High Definition but the related posts are not being listed in either of the pages. Any help?
a good post for those who dont knw html n php..
Love your tutorials! Keep them coming.
Great post Nick!
A delicious set of code recipes, some of which will certainly be useful on my own WordPress blog.
you're design is very niice, can i get it? :D
Great list of tips.
The related posts code, when used in the loop, messes the comments up most severely if used on the single post page before the comment template!!
Its great to have all those in one place. Thanks!
Great post!
Keeping up the good work…
Best wishes
Entire post via: WpRecipies
delicious wordpress recipes. very useful in many situations, especially the wp shortcodes.
This is awesome script, i'm gonna use it….
Thanks Nick :)
These are really cool tips. The greatest of WordPress is that it's the pioneer of all free CMS out there to advocate social networking.
This is awesome! thanks alot!
The Short URL approach isn't recommendable – its slows down the page (because it re-queues the Short URL every time).
Better try this plugin:
PS: sorry for shameless self promotion ;)
Nice roundup of tips.
@Phil, you'll need to paste the Related code after your comments include and you should be good to go.
I can always rely on you for some excellent insight into the world of WordPress. You have definitely convinced me that WordPress deserves a lot of attention and you, among a few others, have inspired me to start blogging myself. Keep up the great work.
It's great to have these short codes in one place. One of my favorite things about WordPress is their community.
you rock… totally bookmarking this page :)

A great intro for someone like me who is new to WordPress.
I'm starting to look at WordPress because, as you say, lots of clients now want a CMS. And WordPress has lots of documentation and tutorials out there.
Great post, loved it, is great for the blogging Graphic Designer!
Great article and website. With regards to other comments about wordpress as CMS i've been on a six month long journey testing different CMS tools. So far I have used the following. KenticoCMS, SilverStripe, Expression Engine & Word Press. My findings…. WordPress has been the most flexible and user contributed open source tool I have found and with recipe codes like this your can be assured your blog/website can have all the functionlity a high end drupal or joomla site has!
Priceless tips! Thank for another great post.
Thank you my friend …
Three posts ago you wrote about Clixpy but the comments don't work on that page. Why's that?
The Clixpy demo did not reproduce my test with perfect fidelity, but I'm sure it could be useful. Bookmarked for future reference.
This is great, I'm just getting into WordPress and this will be a big help…thanks.
Yest another great entry Nick. Fantastic!
Thanks for this, theres a few that I'm going to implement right now!
Thanks again.

Thanks your this great tutorial. Any WordPress-User can take advantage of it!
you are awesome to spend your time doing this, thanks. much appreciated.
this time i need this tutor and tips, cause i has been redesign my site. thanks for share. i will bookmark it.
This is an invaluable post. There have been too many times where I wanted to do something with WP but since I don't have a strong PHP background I was completely SOL. Thanks to this post, I've discovered another WP resource — and several other resources by the same webmaster.
Thank you!
Fantastic post – most of these are either things I've wanted to do, or have just thought of using! Thanks a lot.
The code about displaying Twitter follower count is NOT WORKING. I receive the following error: domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given. This is in regards to the following line of code you have given: $doc = new DomDocument;
Does anyone know a fix?
Your handpicking wp recipes worked out well. As a newbie, this is a fantastic list especially the drop down!

Great, thanks a lot !
Awesome WP recipes list! These would be useful for me in the future.
Wicked post, exclude category from search is really useful.
Hey, thanks for the post. The short tag part is cool – can you elaborate further on that – more uses, how to integrate php or more custom code into the shortcodes…. I think it could have a lot of use but I've got to think of ways to use it to my benefit…

The code you put in "Automatically Insert Content In Your Feeds" doesn't insert anything in the feed output, it's putting something under a single article only.

Hi there, I've created my first wordpress powered blog integrated into my client's site… with great help from Nick La's themes and tutorials.
There's one thing I am stuck on though, and wonder if anyone could help:
Now that my client has many posts, I want the main blog page to show just 'summaries' of each post (just like on webdesignerwall), so the user must click on 'read more' or 'the blog post title' to get the full post.
This means they are more likely to comment and it is neater!
Anyone knows what I need to do to get this to happen II'd be grateful.
Thanks and big shouts to Nick La and Web Designer Wall for the inspirtation and help.
nice post. thank for share article

The PDC Premier League Darts Tournament begins on Thursday the 5th of February and will run for fifteen consecutive weeks until the play-offs between the final four players on the 21st of May. It's televised live on Sky Sports from 7pm every Thursday, and is currently sponsored by Betway.
The top four players in the PDC Order of Merit, along with six wildcard selections, make up the ten-man field for the tournament. Over the first nine weeks of play, the players will face each other once over 12 legs of 501. Once a player reaches seven legs they will have won the match and no further legs will be played. Two points are awarded for a win, and one point apiece will be awarded for matches ending in a six-all draw.
After those first nine weeks the two players at the bottom of the league table will be eliminated, and the remaining eight players will play each other once more from weeks 10 to 15. After fifteen weeks of top darts action, the top four in the table will progress to the play-offs on the 21st of May at the O2 in London, where the Premier league winner will be crowned.
The tournament has been running since 2005, and Phil Taylor is undoubtedly the most successful player in Premier League history, having won six of the ten titles so far. He took five of the first six tournaments which is testament to 'The Power's consistency, but it's been a little more competitive in recent years with a different winner in each of the last four renewals. Gary Anderson won his first Premier League title in 2011, beating Adrian Lewis in the final; but Taylor retained the title in 2012 for the last of his six wins. In 2013 it was the turn of Michael van Gerwen, who beat Taylor in the final to earn his first Premier League trophy; and last year it was five-time World Darts champion, Raymond van Barneveld who took the title.
As usual in recent darts tournaments, the betting is headed by van Gerwen and Taylor, and we're siding with the 'Mighty Mike' on this occasion, but at the prices, we're also recommending an each-way bet on van Barneveld who has shown some very impressive form in recent tournaments and has a decent enough shot at retaining his title.
Michael van Gerwen – 3.50Bet €100 to win €3505/2Bet £100 to win £350+250Bet $100 to win $3502.50Bet HK$100 to win HK$3502.50Bet Rp100 to win Rp350-0.4000Bet RM100 to win RM350 with Bwin, Bet365 and Skybet
Mighty Mike is an understandable favourite for the Premier League, and he's done little wrong in the last few months. He romped to the semi-finals of the World Championship, but couldn't get past Gary Anderson who knocked him out with a scoreline of 6-3. Anderson went on to beat Taylor in the final and was good value for his first World Championship win. van Gerwen hit back though in the subsequent Masters tournament, which he won by beating fellow Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld in the final 11-6. He averaged 112.49 in that final, and is playing some of the best darts of his career. He should make the play-offs over the course of the fifteen weeks, even if he loses a match or two on the way, and it would be a brave man to back against him in the last four.
Phil Taylor – 3.75Bet €100 to win €37511/4Bet £100 to win £375+275Bet $100 to win $3752.75Bet HK$100 to win HK$3752.75Bet Rp100 to win Rp375-0.3636Bet RM100 to win RM375 with Betvictor, Totesport and Betfred
After reaching the final of the World Championship, Taylor had his chances against Anderson but eventually went down 7-6 after the match went to a deciding set. He's one of the most popular players in the game, and is widely considered to be the best player ever to throw an arrow. As we've mentioned, he's already won the Premier League six times, and there are very few players who are likely to ever be able to emulate or surpass that achievement. He's another that can be expected to reach the last four, and certainly can't be ruled out.
Gary Anderson – 5.50Bet €100 to win €5509/2Bet £100 to win £550+450Bet $100 to win $5504.50Bet HK$100 to win HK$5504.50Bet Rp100 to win Rp550-0.2222Bet RM100 to win RM550 with Skybet, Totesport and Betfred
Gary Anderson beat the two market leaders, van Gerwen and Taylor, en route to his World Championship title, and having done so, he fully deserved his moment in the spotlight. His total of 64 180's during the tournament was a World Championship record, and he climbed to his highest ever ranking position of world number three. He was also recently crowned PDC player of the year, Pro Tour player of the year, Fan's player of the year, and Players player of the year at the annual awards dinner – an impressive haul of accolades for the Scotsman. After such an emotional victory, it would have been difficult for the player to raise his game for the 2015 Masters which followed shortly after, but he performed creditably to reach the semi-final where he was knocked out by van Barneveld. If one player can threaten the dominance of the leading two players at the top of the sport, it's Anderson, and he will also fancy his chances of adding a second Premier League title to the one he won in 2011.
Raymond van Barneveld – 23.00Bet €100 to win €230022/1Bet £100 to win £2300+2200Bet $100 to win $230022.00Bet HK$100 to win HK$230022.00Bet Rp100 to win Rp2300-0.0455Bet RM100 to win RM2300 with Betvictor
Raymond van Barneveld has been on the darts scene for so many years, and he continues to perform at the highest level. He's the most successful Dutch player of all time, and one of only three players to win five World Championships (four-time BDO World Champion, and one-time PDC World Champion). He won the Premier League title last year, and has been in very good form over the last few months, working his way to the semi-final of the World Championship where he was knocked out by Phil Taylor. He went one better in the Masters, where he beat Gary Anderson 11-6 in the semi-final, but was beaten in the final by the same scoreline by countryman Michael van Gerwen. He's a huge price considering he took this title last year, and he has that good recent form behind him. Most bookies are paying 1/3 of the odds for a top two finish, but Betvictor stand out as they offer 1/2 the odds for a top two spot.

Generation "Uber for X" or a Universal Business Model
Artem Tymoshenko, Maxpay CEO shared his opinion about the "Uber for X" model and the most interesting start-ups built on it in his new article.
Uber – the service for hailing private drivers – is the fastest growing company of the decade. Back in 2009, Uber was a small start-up with no global plans. Over 8 years of existence the company has expanded its network to 600 cities around the world and raised about $11.5 billion in 14 funding rounds.
Such dizzying success is the dream of any startup. The popularity of Uber has contributed to the creation of many projects using similar technology in completely different sectors, such as product delivery, transportation or even travel. To quickly and easily explain the ideas of their startups, the founders started to compare their projects with Uber, calling them Uber for.
The terms "Uber for X" or Uberisation began to gain popularity back in 2013. Today they're used by both newbies and experienced investors. Listed on AngelList are 526 companies in the description of which "Uber for" is used. On ProductHunt there's even a separate startup category called Uber for X.
It is notable that the Uber for X model is universal and can be used in completely different niches. Below, I offer several examples that will help illustrate this
- Instacart
No time for shopping? The Instacart application is an "Uber for purchases". The company, founded in 2012 by a former employee of Amazon Apurva Mehta provides its services throughout the United States. With the help of the service you can choose your favorite store, order products and delivery time and just wait for the delivery. In March of 2017, the company closed round D funding which attracted a $400 million investment.
Service for interactive communication between police and lawful citizens. Authors and developers call their start-up "Uber for Police". "My Police" is a social project of the Noosphere Association headed by Maxim Polyakov. The main function of the application is an alarm button "SOS" – it allows one-click on the screen of the mobile phone to call the police, automatically sending data about the location of the user. Also, the app allows you to assess the professionalism of a policeman, receive notifications about the situation anywhere in the city and look at the map where the nearest police stations and medical facilities are located. In August of 2016 the service started its work in the Dnieper and after a year of testing the system is ready to start all over Ukraine and enter the international markets.
- Flinja
Flinja is a service known as the "Uber for work". The company was founded in 2014 by Victor Young and Ken Miller. The Flinja model is more like the Uber model. The platform consists of two parts: the first is for employers, who are looking for students and interns, the second is for applicants themselves. In reality, Flinja is a market of actual vacancies where students can not only find work, but also acquire additional skills necessary for professional work. Investments in the Flinja project amounted to more than $1.2 million.
- Application from RTS (Recycle Track Systems)
RTS, also known as the "Uber for household waste," was created by Adam Pascal and Gregory Lettieri in 2015. Despite the fact that the company is pretty young, the RTS project has already attracted more than $11 million of investments. The app offers users to order garbage pickup at a convenient time, as well as receive reports when the work is done. The service is convenient not only for individual clients but also for large retail chains, cafes, restaurants, etc.
- Firefly Aerospace
The model of "Uber for X" has become a universal helper for solving problems not only on Earth but also in near orbit. The project Firefly Aerospace, Uber for microsatellites, is developing light and ultralight vehicles to deliver cargo to near-earth orbit. Firefly Systems, the company's original name, attracted nearly $22 million in 5 rounds. In September of 2016, Firefly did not close the deal with one of the investors and was forced to suspend work. Already in May 2017, the project was restarted thanks to Maxim Polyakov, the founder of Noosphere Ventures. Now the developers are testing the launch of the Beta missile capable of delivering cargo weighing up to 1.1 tons to the near-Earth orbit.
- DoctorOnDemand
DoctorOnDemand – a service through which you can get medical help or arrange an online consultation with the right specialist by simply selecting the appropriate application on your smartphone. The project was founded in 2012 and belongs to Teladoc, Inc., a well-known provider of remote medical services. To-date, DoctorOnDemand has attracted funding of more than $86 million.
There are more non-standard start-ups based on the solution "Uber for X". This vast list includes applications such as names as Minibar, Eros, and Ease.
The Minibar application, available to Apple and Android users, offers to order wine, beer, and alcoholic drinks without leaving your home. The company was created by Lindsey Andrews and Lara Crystal in May of 2013. "Uber for alcoholic beverages" is another promising area that is likely to be in demand in many countries.
The Ease project, also known as "Uber for marijuana," is a new startup, headed by Don Bradshaw. With Ease, you can order marijuana or products containing it, delivered right to your home.
A new application called Eros, allows you to choose a partner for a night or escort service in countries such as the US, Canada, and the UK. The application has a staggering demand. Moreover, in June, Eros went to the ICO. The announced sum collected was $5 million. Fundraising ends on July 23, at the time of writing this article, the startup managed to raise $4,834,893.
Being an almost ideal model for building a successful business, Uber is used by many start-up companies as an example of quality service. Don't forget that any startup has its own characteristics, which can not be ignored in the pursuit of the success of an "Uber". After all, they helped create a completely unique product that surpasses any analogs in popularity.

preceding post marking the sad passing of Neil Armstrong in 2012 I mentioned that I am actually a post moon landing child and that man has not been back to the moon in my lifetime. Yet despite missing this important event I still understood its importance and held a life long interest in those early missions and the brave men that took those first important steps into space. That is why I was thrilled and delighted last weekend to meet a hero. Last Saturday I met Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 11 and the second man to walk on the Moon on that historic July 21 back in 1969. I would list all of Buzz Aldrin's achievements, awards and honours but I am going to try and keep this post fairly brief but suffice to say meeting him at this years Autographica event in Heathrow was a genuine honour (in fact I told him so). He was over in the UK promoting his new book Welcome to Mars: Making a Home on the Red Planet. He hopes that the book will inspire children to travel to Mars when they grow up underlining his hope that we will have colonised Mars before 2040 (a vision I also share). Before I end up writing another paragraph with 'hero' in it I will close it here by paraphrasing that that last weekend I met Buzz Aldrin…hero.

Director Miyazaki draws American attention
Originally printed in The Chicago Sun-Times, October 24, 1999
BY ROGER EBERT film critic
Most movie interviews are a job or work for the journalist, but sometimes you find yourself in the presence of a genius, and then you grow still and attentive, trying to remember everything. So it was when I interviewed Bergman, Hitchcock and Fellini, and so it was again in September, when I interviewed Hayao Miyazaki in Toronto.
The name is unfamiliar to you because, while you love movies, you have not yet discovered that you would love his movies. He and his Studio Ghibli collaborator Isao Takahata ("Grave of the Fireflies") are arguably the greatest directors of animation in the world. John Lasseter, who directed "Toy Story," says when he's stuck for inspiration, he watches a Miyazaki film and the log jam breaks. Miyazaki's most recent film, "Princess Mononoke" (opening Friday at the McClurg Court), broke every record at the Japanese box office, passing even "E.T." before finally being dethroned by "Titanic."
Yet few people in North America know his name because when we think of animation (which the Japanese call "anime"), we think of Disney. And although we spend a quarter of a billion dollars on each new Disney cartoon, we are shy of work by anyone else. So let me point out that Miyazaki's lifework has been purchased for this continent by Disney itself, and "Princess Mononoke" is being released by Disney's Miramax. Since it comes with the Disney seal, just pretend it's the next title after "Lion King" or "Tarzan."
Actually, it is much more than that--a visionary epic set at the dawn of the Iron Age, based on Japanese myths about a time when men could still speak with the spirits of animals and nature. It is not a "children's movie," although any child old enough to have an intelligent conversation about a film will probably love it. It is a real movie, using animation instead of live action, but expressing the vision of its maker, a man whose work has given me some of my best moments as a moviegoer.
He is standing in the room with me now, giving a little half-bow like a businessman, smiling, indicating his translator with an apologetic hand. He is known as a taskmaster, a workaholic who personally approves every one of the tens of thousands of drawings that go into his films. I expect someone exacting, like Bergman, or forbidding, like Hitchcock, and here is a man who seems pleased as punch to be at the Toronto Film Festival.
Q. I think that "Princess Mononoke" should be nominated for best picture.
Q. Why do you choose to make animation instead of live action?
Q. When you were a little boy?
Q. Do you remember the titles?
Q. In this country animation's for family pictures, but in Japan it's considered to be equal with live action. Is that true?
Q. I was told that Miyazaki-san personally drew about 80,000 of the frames in "Princess Mononoke." Is that. . . .
Q. What was your plan when you made your first film?
Q. In "Princess Mononoke" there is a marvelous monster, a boar monster with flesh of snakes, and it's one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen in a film. It couldn't be done with "realistic" special effects--it would look like a mess. Only animation could make it clear.
Q. I didn't even mean special effects with animation, but special effects in a live action picture. If you tried to make a live action picture with that monster, it wouldn't show up; you couldn't see the individual snakes. It seems that animation can make things more clear than reality itself.
Q. So the boar monster is based on the artist himself? On you?
Q. So you think it should have a G rating? [It has been rated PG-13.]
Q. I'm frustrated that in North America people automatically go to the new Disney picture, but it's very hard to get them to go to any other animation. For example, "The Iron Giant" didn't do too well recently. What are you doing to spread the word that "Princess Mononoke" is the film to see, even if it doesn't have the little Disney logo?
Q. Every video store in North America has an anime section with hundreds of tapes. Yet these films rarely play in theaters. Who is watching these tapes? There must be millions of fans hidden away somewhere because even in the small towns they have Japanese anime. It must be an audience that has discovered them without any media push.
Q. But "Princess Mononoke" was the biggest hit in Japan until "Titanic.". . .
Q. You had to develop your audience. . . .
Q. In your drawings you often exaggerate the mouth and eyes to convey extreme emotion; in Disney's new "Tarzan" picture, baby Tarzan seems to look exactly like a Miyazaki character, as if the Americans have been studying his work.
Q. Is "Princess Mononoke" based upon Japanese myths?
Q. Someone told me that Miyazaki-san is not going to make another film. Surely that is not true.
Q. But you have this staff, so you tell them to?
Q. They must love you, though, and want to work with you.
Q. One last question. My wife and I were in Japan and we were able to meet two men who had been appointed Living National Treasures--a man who makes pots and a man who makes kimonos. You must be a national treasure, too.

Time to stand up to Detroit
Published in Herald Sun (Melbourne), 10 March 2009
THE future of Australia's famed car maker, Holden, is linked to its American parent General Motors.
When Kevin Rudd goes to Washington later this month, he should make a detour to Detroit with a simple message: "We won't be blackmailed."
For six decades cars made by Holden have dominated Australia's roads.
To generations of Australians the Barinas, Monaros and Commodores of the past have not only been four-wheeled vehicles but almost members of the family.
But, despite Holden's status as a national icon, we should not be blinded by sentimentality when it comes to making decisions about the company's future. Especially not if it involves the taxpayer handing out huge sums of money to keep Holden alive.
Holden's American parent, General Motors, has been troubled for many years, long before the current financial crisis began.
In the US, it produced cars that people no longer wanted to buy. The company also missed out on the trend for smarter and smaller cars.
To make matters worse, General Motors' costs were much higher than those of its competitors.
In many ways, Holden was a true daughter of her American parent. While we may feel nostalgic about Holden's cars, the truth is that fewer of us actually bought them.
Holden's market share has collapsed from more than 50 per cent in the 1950s to just 12.9 per cent last year.
But things are likely to get worse because of the economic crisis. When even oil-rich Middle Eastern countries stop importing fuel-thirsty Holdens, you know the company has a problem.
GM recently handed a restructuring plan to the US Treasury but the 117-page document contained just one paragraph on the future of Holden.
It mentioned "changes in market preferences", which in plain English means that Australians don't buy Holden's cars any more.
It promised "to bring to market a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle", only admitting that such cars have never been built by Holden.
And it made it very clear that without permanent grants from the Australian Government, the company could not restructure. You could be forgiven for calling this blackmail.
But where was the public outcry in Australia? Did anyone stand up and say "Hang on: Why should we pay for your bad business decisions?"
In fact, in Sweden that's precisely what happened.
Swedish car Saab is equally in trouble. But Swedish Industry Minister Maud Olofsson remained bold: "Voters elected me because they wanted nursery schools, police and nurses, and not to buy loss-making car factories." Quite.
It is time our politicians stand up to the highway robbers of General Motors and protect Australian taxpayers.
And it would be far better to help Holden's workers directly rather than handing out money to an American company on the brink of bankruptcy.

Day 2 - Symphony of Speed
This Hypertour occurred in 1993; some info may be outdated. Links to current info have been added.
Daybreak finds us at Wood County Historical Museum in Bowling Green, OH, for a look at their most famous (at least to us) display -- three human fingers in a jar (#11). More Info
Back on the road, Pepsi unleashes a counterpunching info-juggernaut. The message: "It's a hundred-person, multi-state series of unrelated hoaxes." DJs are unanimously on Pepsi's side. "Why would people do that?" they ask rhetorically. The answers: power, greed, and a sick desire to "hold large corporations hostage." Eight, or "nearly all," have already admitted falsifying. Arrests are made. Listeners are told bluntly, "You can get five years for making false statements about a corporation."
12) Former Home of Bob Evans, Rudolph, OH; 13) Bathtub from The USS Maine, Findlay, OH; 14) America's First Concrete Street and Statue of Concrete's Inventor, Bellefontaine, OH.
Syndicated host Paul Harvey tells us that greedy hoaxers could short-sell Pepsi's stock, reaping millions in ill-gotten profits if the stock cratered. "Rest assured that the SEC is looking into it." Never mind that a hoaxer would have to be a millionaire upfront to pull off such a stunt, a smug Harvey concludes, "It didn't work. Yesterday, Pepsi's stock closed unchanged." The similarity of coverage from station to station, national to local, news talk to country, is astonishing. "Experts" tell us that the perpetrators' chicanery "makes them feel kind of like a hero." Normal Joes are interviewed on the street; no one has lessened their Pepsi intake.
p>We pass through little towns with big graveyards; more people dead than alive. In Sidney, OH, we find the Titanic Museum (#15), run single-handedly by a single-minded visionary, John Whitman.Whitman saw the movie, "Titanic," on May 16, 1957 "and it took over my life.People don't know what an obsession is." Whitman, chain-smoking cigarettes and chain-drinking caffeine-packed Mountain Dews, speaks rapid fire, illuminating the museum's impressive contents.
Six outfits from survivors are displayed, though the one item he would save from a fire are the ship's original interior design blueprints.
Whitman works on his museum some 120 hours a week; "I hate sleep." Out back, Whitman is building a full-sized replica town from 1912, the year the Titanic went down. Though it won't be finished until 2012, projected start and completion dates for all 14 buildings and 18 businesses are stored in Whitman's computer as part of his master plan. Town officials don't support him, and wouldn't visit even when bagpipers flew all the way from Scotland to play at the outdoor Titanic memorial.
Still, says Whitman, whose obsession broke up his marriage years ago, "I can't wait to get up in the morning. I love it." [At last report, Whitman has closed the Titanic Museum]
The Shrine of the Holy Relics (#16) in Maria Stein is a tranquil, off-the-beaten-path retreat, and today's second Ohio bone stop. More Info
A Cincinnati host and his livid listeners loudly condemn a GQ article that they think slights their town. But neither the host nor any of his callers has actually seen or read the subject of their hostility. "No one I know even gets the magazine," snorts the host.
By six PM, Pepsi's one-time problem is "The Conspiracy That Never Was." There is no need to panic. The evening topic of ire: "Do hugs among 13-year-old girls constitute sexual harassment?" Listeners fume: "What's happening to this country!?" "The teacher who reported them is the one who is sick!" Again, no one pays attention to the tiny half-inch news clip that starts it all, in which no one is accused of sexual harassment. The misguided rage goes on for three hours, and the vitriolic host concludes, "I could do a whole week of shows just on this!"
18) Joe Palooka Statue, Oolitic, IN. 19) Odd Tombstones, Green Hill Cemetery, Bedford, IN. At our last stop of the day, we watch a drug deal go down outside Red Skelton's Birthplace, in Vincennes, IN (#20), before taking the Red Skelton Bridge the hell out of town.

Proposed Changes in NYS Medicaid Funding Threaten over 60,000 Westchester Children
Statement by Westchester Children's Association published on March 9, 2020
With New York facing its largest budget deficit in a decade in its 2020-21 state budget, Westchester Children's Association stands alongside child advocacy organizations, service providers, and local decision-makers in voicing our deep concern for the welfare of more than 7 million children and adults across the State who rely on Medicaid to access critical mental, behavioral, and physical health care services and supports.
Medicaid connects Westchester's low-income children and children with disabilities to health resources instrumental to their mental and physical development, social and emotional growth and wellness, and success in school and life. Rising Medicaid costs have been identified as a central reason for the budget deficit, but the proposed solution of shifting costs onto local government is not practical or healthy for Westchester's 60,611 children covered by Medicaid, because local governments do not have the resources to appropriately or adequately fund Medicaid. [1]
Although mental health is the top health concern in Westchester—and was identified by residents as having the most positive impact on their health—access to mental health care, in particular, is overwhelmingly limited in communities across New York State. [2] Recent cuts in state funding to Children's Health Homes, a program for physical and behavioral care management, and child and family treatment service rates make this an even worse time to limit state Medicaid funding. Without Medicaid funding to provide significant and universal access to key mental health services, New York will see an even more dramatic increase in unmet mental health care need among vulnerable children and families.
Cost shifts, cuts, and failures to fund Medicaid would deprive millions of New York children and families of indispensable health resources that support their welfare and uplift their communities. We urge New York State to do right by our children and families and maintain its share of Medicaid costs.

Despite the tougher regulations that were intended to encourage carmakers to produce more fuel-efficient vehicle models, Nissan has recently confirmed that the company has no plans to downsize the truck-based Armada.
Based on the information obtained from reliable sources, Nissan strongly disagrees with the idea of downsizing some of its existing vehicle models particularly the Armada in order to comply with the existing regulations that were implemented to reduce the fuel consumptions of the vehicles that are sold in the market.
This is because Nissan have learned that there is still groups of buyers who are demanding for bigger SUVs due to the comfort, safety and other benefits that this type of vehicles provide. Nissan hinted that the idea of downsizing the Armada would most likely affect the model's sales since the carmaker have known that such groups of buyers will most likely not settle for anything less and this could mean looking for other vehicle options in the event that the Armada would be downsized.
In addition to that, Rich Miller who is the current chief product specialist for the Nissan Armada and the Titan pickup truck in North America pointed out that reducing the sizes of their SUVs and trucks would discourage the company's potential buyers from purchasing their product since these consumers still need the vehicles' relatively larger sizes and impressive towing prowess. But since the existing regulations are stricter than before, Miller highlighted that there is actually a great need for the company to become more innovative and reduce the fuel consumption of the Armada and other larger models without the need to revise their sizes.
Given such dilemma, Miller revealed that Nissan is planning to look for other strategies that could help the company boost the fuel economy of larger models such as the Armada. He also hinted that the company is considering the use of more lightweight materials in building the Armada as well as increasing the number of its transmission's speeds. In addition to that, Nissan is also planning to improve the aerodynamics of the Armada by using air deflectors and other ground effects in order to reach the determined goal.
