LONDON (Reuters) - Following are five big themes likely to dominate thinking of investors and traders in the coming week and the Reuters stories related to them.
As U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports kick in, President Donald Trump is threatening to tax goods worth $500 billion — roughly the value of all U.S. imports from China in 2017.
What could Beijing do to ease the impact on its economy? In theory, it could ease policy. It has also subtly hinted at using yuan depreciation as a retaliatory tool, by allowing the currency to post its biggest monthly loss on record in June.
Though capital outflows are a risk. Upcoming data will provide a crucial insight into China's economy - the weekend brings the latest FX reserves picture; consumer and factory inflation figures emerge on July 10; trade data due July 13 will show if trade angst had already hit exports and imports in June. All that will set markets up for Q2 GDP due the following week. Tensions with Washington may already have slowed economic growth, Reuters polls predict.

The Fed is pressing ahead with raising interest rates, global financial conditions are tightening and investors are nervous about the global economy. Emerging markets are under the cosh and bond yield curves are flattening - the U.S. yield curve is less than 30 basis points from inversion, the signal that recession is coming.
This is the backdrop to a series of speeches next week from some of the world's most powerful central bankers — Bank of Japan governor Kuroda, European Central Bank chief Draghi, Bank of England boss Carney and Bank of Canada's Poloz all take the stand. The BoC will likely also raise interest rates next week.
Here's the balance they will try to strike: signal an exit from crisis-era stimulus but not so fast that growth and investor confidence will plummet. It won't be easy. As it stands, the current economic expansion and bull market are very long in the tooth. Fed tightening alone could be enough to end them both.

Amid trade wars signs of slowing economic growth, world markets remain relatively robust. Bumper U.S. company earning are part of the reason. Thanks to tax-cut tailwinds, Q1 earnings growth clocked in at 26.6 percent and the second quarter, starting next week, should moderate only slightly, to 20.7 percent.
However, the season is being clouded by trade tensions and their impact on corporate profits. So analysts will closely scrutinize outlook statements to see whether to adjust numbers for the rest of 2018. Right now, 23.4 percent earnings growth is forecast for the third quarter and 20.2 percent for the fourth.

Financials stocks won big from the tax cuts — their Q1 bottom lines were possibly fattened by as much as $5 billion, many estimate. So eyes will be on Wells Fargo, Citi and JP Morgan reports on July 13. Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S forecast banks' Q2 growth at 22 percent.
But numbers are seen less toppy next year, slimming to 7.3 percent in the first quarter and just over ten percent for the three subsequent.

Britain's markets are in for another bumpy ride next week.
They will be digesting the outcome of a crunch Brexit showdown at the government's country retreat on Friday. Brexit Secretary David Davis has resigned because he was not willing to be "a reluctant conscript" to Prime Minister Theresa May's plans to leave the European Union. At the same time, British industrial giants are sounding shrill warnings of mass exodus if EU trade ties are lost.
May will then get a visit from Germany's Angela Merkel on Tuesday — assuming she hasn't been ousted by then. Merkel's visit is part of a Western Balkans summit where, ironically, the main agenda is EU integration. But she will make time for a Brexit powwow with May.
And it's not just politics. On Tuesday Britain publishes monthly growth estimates for the first time, a move intended to give policymakers more timely information about the economy. The numbers will be released alongside output data for the services, industrial and construction sectors, and trade figures.

Coming days may being more volatility to oil markets too. They have already been on a rollercoaster, rising almost to $80 per barrel after output cuts by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies.
OPEC has agreed to ease output curbs but prices are receiving fresh impetus from Washington's new sanctions against Tehran. Those in turn have led Iran's Revolutionary Guards to threaten a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil artery through which a fifth of the world's oil consumption passes. Tensions are running high, with the U.S. Navy standing ready to ensure free navigation through the channel.
High oil prices are wiping out any benefits the U.S. economy might enjoy from Trump's tax cuts. But while he has lashed out at the cartel and urged it to raise production, he is also pressuring governments to stop Iranian purchases. Such rhetoric may push oil prices higher still. As will any outbreak of hostilities in Hormuz.

Solution to Uncaught Sys Javascript Exception in ReportViewer
Recently while working on one of the projects, I ran into a problem with the asp.net ReportViewer control.
I was loading reports in ReportViewer control on clicking on button through ajax.
If you click on button twice, then it will following javascript exception.
Uncaught Sys.InvalidOperationException: Sys.InvalidOperationException: The report or page is being updated. Please wait for the current action to complete.
Then I just went with the approach to disable button once clicked and enable it after processing is complete.
So now, whenever someone clicks on button, button gets disabled and gets enabled on complete of loading of reports. But after report is visible it was starting to fetch contents and load data on screen with showing loading progress bar.
Now if someone clicks on button to load report again, then it was again throwing Uncaught Sys Javascript Exception in ScriptResource.axd file.
After analysis I was able to fix this issue by just setting EnablePartialRendering property of the ReportViewer control to false.
Its the property of the ReportViewer which tells whether to load report completely and then only show it to user and fire load event or just to load report initially and then load data asynchronously.
Disadvantage : So with above approach only disadvantage is that – loading icon is not displayed to the user.
Have you ever ran into this kind of problem ? Do you know any other solution to this problem ?

White Cliffs Primary College of the Arts
A school has been on this site for over 70 years, and as the college's name suggests, it is located on an elevated site overlooking Dover Castle and the Coombe Valley.
Gen² were engaged to manage a building extension to provide space for the school to expand to two form entry; extending the number of Dover children that can access the outstanding education the College delivers.
- To expand the school to a two-form entry.
- Dedicated outside areas for Reception and Nursery pupils to keep active and learn about the environment.
- A kitchen able to provide all pupils with healthy and freshly cooked hot meals every day.
The project has been recognised as a finalist in the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce Awards (KEiBA Awards) and a Health and Safety Award from The British Safety Council. The Site Foreman was recognised as the International Safety Champion of the Year for The British Safety Council.
"We're over the moon with our new school space and delighted it has been recognised with so many awards too."
Sue Fotheringham-Knight
Executive Head Teacher
This project has everything; construction savings, an environmentally sensitive design on a heritage site and lots of student and community engagement. I'm proud of the collaboration from the team that brought it all together.
The new two storey building comprises 6 classrooms (Reception, Y1 & Y2), a nursery, First Aid room and toilet facilities. The extension is linked by a hall/dining extension, including a new kitchen and servery.
A value-engineering exercise helped the team to reduce construction cost by £1.5 million without affecting the delivery timetable.
Our project manager and quantity surveyor worked with the contractor and architect to create a new design with the building set away from the hillside. This enabled a more efficient building footprint which dramatically cut the construction costs without affecting the delivery timetable.
The redesign meant construction started with an excavation of 9,000 m² of chalk to allow the new building to be set at the same level as the main School to provide inclusive access to all areas.
The new building has a green roof; intelligent lighting system; good insulation; energy efficient boilers help to lower emissions & CO2 levels.
The new larger commercial kitchen enables the school to supply healthy, freshly prepared meals to children; with a new dining area fit for purpose.
By building a collegiate relationship with the main contractor, Walker Construction, Gen² ran Health & Safety talks and a safety poster competition. The winning entries were displayed on the site's hoarding.
On the outside, the project provides a new dedicated secure play area for Reception classes and covered play for the Nursery.
Assisted by the Dover Smart project, the contractor provided the space and materials for pupils, staff and local stakeholders to contribute to a mural. The mural has been sealed under the floor of the new extension for future generations.

I am glad to be a member of The Waste & Resource Management Research Group (WARMREG), University of Nigeria, Nsukka. WARMREG is based in the Department of Geography, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. It is anchored on the conviction that since the turn of the 21st century, the world's resources have been facing depletion at a very rapid rate resulting from increasing worldwide demand for and use of non-renewable resources. Thus, human beings are left with no option than to identify and exploit opportunities previously unexplored in waste and resource management.
The WARMREG advocates inclusive waste management i.e an approach to waste management recognizing and involving informal waste workers such as waste pickers, scrap dealers and cart pushers while complementing the activities of the informal waste management system and the formal waste management system in a mutually beneficial relationship. The argument for inclusive development is justified for moral, legal, economic, social, security and environmental reasons. Hence, current international development thinking regarding waste and resource management has drawn attention to the links between inclusive waste management and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We argue that inclusion per sé is central to the SDGs, and that an inclusive MSWM policy in Nigeria is desirable as it maps onto the SDGs which aim to improve lives in the post-2015 development era.
The WARMREG will seek to engage and facilitate dialogue between researchers, policy makers and practitioners concerning contemporary issues in waste and resource management.
The objectives of WARMREG are:
- to provide broad and critical engagements with key debates in the environmental social sciences, focusing on waste and resource management
- to foster an understanding of environmental policy relating to waste and resource management
- to provide a platform for advocacy and policy engagement on behalf of the informal waste sector for inclusive development
- to coordinate research and publications in waste and resource management for the Department
- to contribute to solutions to waste and resource management problems through innovative public policy making
The focus of WARMREG will include (but not limited to) the following areas:
- The role of civil society, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Community-based organizations (CBOs) in waste and resource management and public policy
- Media and advocacy in waste and resource management
- Politics of waste and resource management and resource governance
- Political economy , cultural and social sustainability of environmental resources management
- Political ecologies (urban, feminist) of waste and resource management conflict, environmental justice issues and their policy dimensions.
- Livelihood issues and improvements in social conditions of labour in the informal waste economy
- Exploration of linkages of the informal waste economy with the SDGs.

Wynnum showed they will be a force to be reckoned with in the FOGS Challenge with a 40-12 trial win over Aspley today. Admittedly Aspley were below strength and the game was a scrappy affair played in oppressive conditions, but the Wynnum side showed some flashes of brilliance in attack and were resolute in defence. U18 players Matt Smith and Luke Mehninnit shone for the winners between them scoring 18 points in the first half to set up a 22-0 lead to the home side at the break. Converted tries to Alex Tallon and Steven Johnston brought the visitors back within 10 points early in the second half, but that would be as close as they would get, with Wynnum running away to win 40-12. U18 Players from last year's Brissie U17 comp on display were Alex T, Struddy, AJ and Vaughan Eriksen for Aspley, along with Scott Millar from Wide Bay, and Matt Smith and Mitchell Muir for Wynnum , along with Nathan Beckett (WB) and Luke Menhinnit (Twba). Incidenttaly Jacob Fauid had a very good game in a losing side in the Qld Cup trial held this evening.
Scorers: Wynnum 40 (M.Smith 2, B.Cronin, M.Aitkin, L.Menhinnit, C.McQueen, W.Jensen, R.Congoo tries, Menhinnit 4 goals) def Aspley 12 (A.Tallon, S.Johnston tries, Tallon 2 goals).
In other games Wests defeated a Norths side which did not play any of its storm contracted players 24-22, and Easts defeated Souths-Logan - score tba.

As the Korean-born German philosopher Byung-Chul Han said "Our competitive, service-oriented societies are taking a toll on the late-modern individual. Rather than improving life, multitasking, "user-friendly" technology, and the culture of convenience are producing disorders that range from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder".

You can read more about the project at www.thenottlecompany.com. Original: 1/5/2018 3:52 PMFarming is often a whole-family activity. One of the first chores farm kids have is taking care of bottle calves. It makes for a fun 4-H project for young members too.But an Oklahoma family has made it a bit easier for kids to help out. Ronnie and Mandi Painter raise cattle near Panama, Okla., with their daughter Oakley.Oakley, always wanting to help feed the bottle calves, wasn't strong enough to hold the full weight of the bottle with an active calf.Mandi was the one to come up with an easier way for Oakley to hold the calf bottle."She had a cup that had handles on it," she said. "And, she was using the handles instead of holding the cup itself. Then I thought, if it (the bottle) had handles on it, I bet she could hold it."Mandi and Ronnie tried a few ideas before coming up with "The Nottle", a plastic attachment that fits over the bottle and has handles on the side. The couple opened a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for their idea.Ronnie and Mandi Painter, their daughter Oakley, and Oakley's cousin Jensen tell how they came up with "The Nottle" a plastic accessory to put on milk bottles so young farmers can help feed baby calves.

Decoration Of Microfiber Sectional Sofa
Microfiber sectional sofa will be the good option you should consider well for nice sofa decoration in living room. Decorate the living room with a microfiber sectional sofa to transform the space into a comfortable and stylish retreat that friends and family can enjoy.
The design works as a standalone piece or other furniture, like a coffee table ottoman or extra chairs. Turn the microfiber sectional sofa to face his seat into the flow of traffic. If guests come over for a visit, they will find this easy guidance to address, as the room will feel like a general conversation space. If the room needs private counseling to sit that is not disturbed by the traffic flow, turn the sectional sofa to a focal point such as a fireplace or a view outdoors, back to the traffic flow and Place it in the middle of the room.
Used as a room divider in an open floor plan and large room, the design of an L-shaped sectional sofa provides two low walls that create the feeling of stepping into another room. This effect is achieved by placing the microfiber sectional sofa away from the walls and in the center of the room. Turn it in the direction it flows better as a division between living area and separate dining room or office space in the seating area.

The Ambassadeurs Restaurant and the Casino
Saturday 3rd February
The week has flown by. We are now three sets of couples. Cécile and I , Monty and Dolly and Lorenzo and Gabrielle. At first Monty was a little frosty with Lorenzo but they now appear to be getting on. One day we visit Lorenzo's family villa which is delightful and other days we play tennis, take delightful walks around the Crossiette, the Casino gardens and the town and harbour, watch horse racing, polo and dance each night. We even spot Winston Churchill being chased by photographers as he tried to play golf.
Jean Gabriel Domergue has transformed the Ambassadeurs Restaurant into a courtyard of an old inn in Seville, decorated with whitewashed and pink walls under a blue sky for the Gala Seville sprinkled liberally everywhere with flowers. He implored all the diners in a neat little invitation booklet to wear appropriate dress for each gala occasion but let's face it who could ever get self-conscious British aristocrats to wear anything but ultramodern raiment? However, some dress up in Spanish colours of yellow, red and gold, including Dolly and Cécile.
For the entertainment, musicians who looked as if they had just come back from a bull fight, play popular Spanish songs of the 18th century as a background for the Spanish artist Argentinita whose castanets gave point and rhythm to her excellent dances.
"She is known as the Flamenco Pavlova and the Queen of Castanets" says Monty.
That night when we are on our own, Lorenzo says "Gabrielle tells me that she and Cecile are rather hoping they might become sister-in-laws."
Saturday 10th February
The next gala at the Casino is the Enchanted Garden fete and the Ambassadeurs has become a garden festooned in flowers and fruits of every hue. The roof is covered with interwoven leaves and branches and huge dragonflies of all colours are suspended from the ceiling. The walls have been transformed with panels of climbing white roses and pergolas of red jasmine.
As we take our seats, Mama, pointing to a rather excitable group says "Prince George is over there. He motored over from Beaulieu just for the night!"
Argentina provides a wonderful new set of dances and the cabaret is augmented by an hilarious interlude when members of Billy Arnold's orchestra appear dressed in rather airy costumes and perform a dance of the wood nymphs. This is followed by Chris Lee dressed as a Spanish dancer doing a burlesque of Argentina..
After Papa returns from the Casino itself he says "Our royal guest is causing quite a stir. He tried to get entry to the Casino but was refused because of his age and it has not got down very well!"
I danced the night away, predominately with Cecile, who like all the girls had been propelled into a world of gushiness by the enchanted garden and was becoming rather lovey-dovey.
Monday 12th February
I spend the day with Papa exploring land and properties for sale first in Cap Ferrat and then Cap d'Antibes. The latter looks more promising because it is nearer Cannes which we all prefer.
Tuesday 13th February
It is a good job we are not superstitious and thank God it is not a Friday. Just south of the sleepy little port of Antibes amongst the pine clad slopes of the peninsula, we find and buy a rather magnificent, large plot of land with a run-down villa and its own bit of coastline. There was a sense of remote tranquillity at this spot that will be a welcome relief to the usual hustle and bustle of city life and yet even here, Cannes and Nice are very accessible.
We are not far from the Hotel du Cap at Eden Roc where we take afternoon tea to finalise the deal. Although it will take a while to finalise everything we see a variety of people over the next few days to plan the renovation work.
Thursday 15th February
We have a family day out to show everyone the villa and there is much excitement and discussion about décor, furnishing and the garden as we have a picnic on the Plage de la Garoupe. Aunt Mimi has bought Sir Oliver.
"I have an announcement" she says "Sir Oliver and I are engaged. We are planning the wedding for late April."
We all burst into guffaws of congratulations and hugs as Sir Oliver says "and I have arranged a special dinner party on Friday evening at the Carlton in celebration."
Friday 16th February
I am having a quiet lunch in the Carlton with Cecile, Monty and Dolly when suddenly I hear familiar voices and in come the Dolly Sisters accompanied by a very tall and handsome young man. When Dolly waves they come over to our table and introduce us to their brother Edward, or as they call him Eddie.
"We have been in America since we saw you last in Deauville."
"We have done a long vaudeville tour with Eddie and a great singer called Harry Richman."
"And, now we are here for our debut on the Riviera tomorrow night."
"We hope we will see you."
Saturday 17th February
The gala at the Ambassadeurs has a winter theme as "The Kingdom of the Queen of Winter'. The huge chandeliers were half covered in cotton wool cut out in shapes of large holly leaves. There was a giant snowman in one corner and little leafless trees covered in crystallised imitation snow dotted around the room. The lights were turned down for the entry of the Dolly Sisters who appeared in white tulle frocks. At the same time waiters handed out paper bags filled with imitation snowballs and everyone pelted each other while the Dollies skipped daintily out. They returned dressed as jet black ponies with high head-plumes and other jingling equine paraphernalia driven by their brother Eddie with a cracking whip and hard bowler hat as he directed them at a gallop round and round till the entry of a reindeer, more snowballs and a walking snowman drew their prancing pony trot to a close.
The evening was a huge hit. The Dollies are unique and amazing and their dancing so different from anything ever seen before. We dance all night and the rather dashing Eddie monopolises Dolly who looks as if she is being swept off her feet. I of course have several dances with each of the Dolly Sisters.
Saturday 24th February
The Dolly Sisters have been such a success at the Ambassadeurs that dancing managers along the coast are offering large sums of money to lure them away.
The gala evening tonight has the theme of 'The Venice of Casanova.' The Dolly Sisters dressed identically in Venetian gowns are once again escorted by their brother Eddie and give another unbelievable performance.
I am still quite alarmed when I overhear embarrassing comments at a nearby table.
"The Riviera is not what it was. It is different and it is not better. I am not concerned to maintain that is less attractive than the Spring of 1914, say, but it is certainly a very much less attractive, less amusing and less intimate place than it used to be 20 or more years ago. It has become democratic, for one thing and full of these Americans." Says a very pompous older English lady in a very loud voice to other members of her table "Take these dancers, for example: they are brash in a new and rather disconcerting way. They are far too modern and indiscreet and quite unbearably nouveau rich."
Monty is not amused and says equally loudly "It is interesting that with the Russians banished, it is us Americans that are keeping the Riviera afloat you know."
Dolly is clearly enamoured with Eddie and I say to Monty "So are you or are you not together?"
"We are not" he says gruffly.
I dance again with Jenny and Rosie and they both tell me that they have accepted a very lucrative offer to dance at the new Casino in Juan-les-Pins. Apparently Édouard Baudoin a restauranteur from Nice purchased a dilapidated and almost bankrupt casino there and rebuilt it believing that this area, mid-way between Cannes and Nice, had great potential. The Dollies were going to star in his opening-night gala to be held in early March in an attempt to put his casino and Juan-les-Pins on the map.
I am really amused given that we have just purchased a villa nearby. I think we might have chosen wisely.
Wednesday 28th February
Monty and Dolly have already left for Paris. All too soon our soujourn on the Riviera also comes to an end and are forced to leave and return home. I have an emotional farewell with Lorenzo, who promises to visit London and Paris soon.

Politics & Government
NC officials seek feedback about African-American monument at Capitol
A series of meetings across the state seeking the public's input about a proposed monument at the State Capitol that honors the achievements of African-Americans will end next week with one in downtown Raleigh.
The meeting, which will take place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the State Capitol, will be the last of eight to solicit ideas about the monument. Susan Kluttz, secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, said the first six meetings took on a regional flavor, with residents wanting to make sure that their part of the state was represented in the project.
"There has been a wide range of suggestions," Kluttz said Friday. "There have been so many African-Americans contributions in this state, in so many different ways."
The monument will be the first honoring African-Americans on the State Capitol grounds. Gov. Pat McCrory raised the idea in late October, inspired in part by a desire to recognize African-Americans in the wake of last June's church massacre in Charleston, S.C., that killed nine people, including pastor and state senator Clementa C. Pinckney, during a prayer service.
Members of the N.C. Historical Commission and the N.C. African American Heritage Commission both endorsed the plan, which would end a 25-year moratorium on the construction of statues on the State Capitol grounds. In March, at public meetings in Greensboro, Charlotte, Rocky Mount and Fayetteville, members of the commissions described the possible location, materials and themes for the monument, then listened to what people thought about it.
The commission members added three more meetings this month in Winston-Salem, Asheville and Wilmington.
Kluttz said attendance at the statewide meetings has not been "huge" but that there have been quality discussions among those who took part. She said the ideas offered by state residents have been "varied and inspiring."
"It's really been fascinating to hear what people have to say," Kluttz said. "We have had such wonderful, passionate input from citizens across the state. We realized we needed to extend the public hearings to even more cities to ensure we were giving everyone the opportunity to give their input."
Kluttz said the meetings have started with a presentation that shows the proposed location for the monument – a grassy space at the southeast corner of the State Capitol grounds. The spot is across the street from the historically African-American First Baptist Church and along a thoroughfare that leads into Southeast Raleigh, the heart of the city's African-American community.
Those unable to attend Tuesday's meeting can visit www.ncdcr.gov/monuments-feedback to have their say.
The proposed monument is intended to "complement, not supplant" the N.C. Freedom Monument Project that's been in the works since 2002, when the Paul Green Foundation held a series of public discussions with the aim of establishing a monument to reflect the African-American experience in the state. In 2006, the Freedom Monument Park committee identified a proposed site at Wilmington and Lane streets, just east of the Legislative Building, and money was allocated for it in the state budget. But the recession halted those plans, and the project stalled.

When I try to talk about something interesting, he reply with Oh and Okay.
And, if I can't find any topic to talk about, my reaction turn out like this
Then, I met him at school. He came towards me and ask me to go shopping with him
I was happy, and wanna say something really adorable. But,it come out like this
or i blurt out without thinking bout it
he must think that im a weirdo or something
then he said "Oh, I forgot ! I have other plans for that day, so,no shopping, sorry!"
and he just look at me like this
That was really embarassing, and i took a few steps back

New law aims at helping but a lack of a national scheme is cutting off support for many who need it says Mairi O'Keefe
Earlier this year, the much anticipated Carers' (Scotland) Bill was passed by the Scottish Parliament. As the new parliamentary session gets under way, work will begin to enact the bill and enshrine in law for the first time essential new rights and entitlements for carers.
With nearly 760,000 unpaid carers across Scotland, it is essential that this landmark piece of legislation gets the focus and the resources it deserves.
The unpaid carer network saves the Scottish economy an estimated £10.3 billion – a staggering figure, similar to the cost of providing NHS services in Scotland.
Yet daily life can be a real struggle for many carers. Financial worries, debt, trying to juggle caring with work, are all major concerns. What's more, eight in ten carers say their health is worse as a result of caring. The 24/7 demands of the caring role can leave many at breaking point.
A welcome development then is that the bill has highlighted the vital role short respite breaks play in alleviating the difficulties carers face and in improving their health and wellbeing.
As a national respite centre, at Leuchie House we see on a daily basis the enormous benefits that a respite break can bring to both carers and those they care for. For our guests, who are all living with a long term health condition such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, we see their wellbeing improve and their confidence return, before they leave us feeling better able to cope again.
For their carers – usually a partner or family member – whether they come to Leuchie too or take time out on their own, it's a chance to get a proper break from the demands and stresses of a full-time caring role.
Respite breaks also have much longer term benefits too. While they're with us, we assess our guests' physical, emotional and mental wellbeing so we can take action where needed. Being able to work with our guests over the full length of their break – most people stay at Leuchie for 11 nights – puts us in a unique position to fully assess their needs. Last year at Leuchie, we made just under 700 anticipatory and preventative referrals to community health practitioners, avoiding the need for more formal or acute services, reducing health costs and improving our guests' quality of life.
It's not just those of us involved with Leuchie House who believe in the value of respite breaks. Across the health and social care sector, as more emphasis is put on care at home, short breaks are widely regarded as essential to maintaining the health and wellbeing of people, and their carers, living with long-term physical conditions. With the number of people in both categories growing year on year, the need for greater access to, and funding for, short respite breaks is critical.
Under the new law, local authorities will have a duty to produce information for carers about short break services available to them.
Yet there are already concerns from many of Scotland's main carers' organisations that this doesn't go far enough, nor are there sufficient resources available to enable people to have the breaks they need.
There are already marked differences across the country in the availability of short breaks, with very limited access to funding in some areas.
At Leuchie, we work with 26 of Scotland's 32 local authorities. This gives us a clear insight into just how widely support differs from postcode to postcode. Some of our guests receive recurring support, allowing them to have two or three short breaks at Leuchie House each year – an essential lifeline for them and those who care for them. For others however, in different parts of Scotland, support is very limited and for some, non-existent. The added stress to carers, already struggling with the demands of their caring role, of having to navigate complex funding systems and fight for help is considerable.
This lack of a unified national approach is an ongoing concern, even with the new law. An amendment to introduce national rather than local eligibility criteria for carer support was defeated at the final stage of the bill. When it comes in to force in 2017, each of Scotland's 32 local authorities will have a duty to produce a local carers' strategy. Without nationally-applied criteria, we are in danger of ending up with 32 different systems and the continuation of huge variations across the country.
The need for short respite breaks from people with long-term conditions across Scotland has never been greater. At Leuchie House, we could do even more to ensure that as many people as possible can benefit from respite care. The most significant barrier, however, continues to be the availability of local authority funding for people to be able to access our service. There is no greater frustration for my team and me than when we have empty guest bedrooms at Leuchie, knowing there are so many people who could benefit greatly from being here. It is estimated that there will be one million carers looking after disabled and frail people in Scotland by 2037. If the Carers' Bill is to be effective in ensuring they get the support they need, a simple, unified system for determining the criteria for support and allocating adequate resources needs to be put in place, backed by a clear procurement process. Without this, the preventative aims of the bill risk being seriously undermined.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make sure unpaid carers get the support they really need. Let's make sure we grasp it with both hands.
• Mairi O'Keefe is Leuchie House's CEO

Day eleven marks the day of the Open House, but it doesn't mean a break day as there's still work to be done and there won't be guests at all times walking around!
As the inflatable pool was deflated and brought home on Friday, then inflated and deflated again on Saturday, we had to inflate it again so we could use it in the studio.
Unfortunately, I also managed to rip the hanging sign off so the twine was left hanging there. So why not use it as a swing for Yoshi?
…Because Michaela of Chunky Monkeys sent him flying head first into the used-tissue-paper-filled bin.
Then why not hang my penguin?
…Because someone made it swing up above the tent which is probably a really dusty place.
How about the IKEA dog?
…Because Michaela used it as a punching bag.
Oh well.
And then the photographers arrived.
We tried asking them for their names but that failed so I guess we're still sticking with those weird names until I can get them successfully.
A little while later, we saw Miss Hazel travelling down the corridor on a…scooter?
Sarah of Chunky Monkeys wanted to take a nap (because she arrived back in Singapore at 12am) before people started coming in for the Open House, so we let her use our pool!
Soon enough, people started flowing in. Mr Joshua gave them a tour, and we presented whenever the tour group got to our tent.
There wasn't a lot of people in the afternoon, so we did some work while waiting to be released for dinner.
We talked to Acrylics' teacher, Miss Xie, who offered us food and is a really really cool teacher. 😀
Adelle (our friend) arrived around 5.30pm, and she baked some s'mores for us and Acrylics, and did a calligraphy thing for us! 😀
We went down to Koufu for dinner, and when we came back up we played a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity with wasd. Our other friend, Evaleen, arrived and she joined in too!
While we were playing CAH, Mr Wei Siong and Mr Joshua were swinging the dog around.
We had to stop playing CAH because there were more people arriving and we had to get ready. We went back to our tents, and we put Adelle's calligraphy thing up and showed Adelle and Evaleen around our tent! 🙂
Some people started streaming in before the last portion of the Open House began, so we presented a bit first.
Soon enough, the final segment of the Open House commenced at 7pm. Visitors were given a presentation by the organisers, and then they dispersed to the various tents.
Us teams were also allowed to go into other tents to watch their presentations. I had only managed to watch Acrylics', Chunky Monkeys', and wasd's previs, and they're really, really stunning!! You should probably leave them likes! 🙂
(Not saying the rest aren't good (I'm sure they're amazing), I just did not manage to catch the presentations, sorry!!)
Thanks for sticking with us and reading our overdue blog posts, we really appreciate your support! 😀 (And don't forget to like us here, and follow us here and here for more updates!)

text: Seattle City Light 2016 ANNUAL REPORT | Audited Financial Statements 17 THE CITY OF SEATTLE—CITY LIGHT DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 and 2015 - 17 - RISK MANAGEMENT The Department began implementing an Enterprise-wide Risk Management (ERM) process in 2008 to establish a full spectrum approach to risk management that links important decision making functions through a standardized process of identifying, assessing, monitoring, and mitigating risks across all Business Units and Divisions of the Department. Risk Oversight Council (ROC) oversees wholesale power marketing activities. It is comprised of the Chief Financial Officer (Chair), Power Supply & Environmental Affairs Officer, Director of Risk Oversight, Director of Power Operations and Marketing (non-voting), Director of Power Contracts & Resource Acquisition (non-voting), and Manager of Financial Planning (non-voting). The ROC guides the continuous improvement of energy risk management activities and capabilities, approves hedging strategies, hedging plans, and approves changes to relevant operating procedures. The Risk Oversight Division, in addition to the ERM, manages the market and credit risk related to all wholesale marketing activities, and carries out the middle office functions of the Department. This includes confirmations, risk controls, independent reporting of market positions, counterparty credit risk, settlements, and ensuring adherence to Wholesale Energy Risk Management (WERM) policy and procedures. Hydro Risk Due to the Department's primary reliance on hydroelectric generation, weather can significantly affect its operations. Hydroelectric generation depends on the amount of snow-pack in the mountains upstream of the Department's hydroelectric facilities, springtime snow-melt, run-off and rainfall. Hydroelectric operations are also influenced by flood control and environmental matters, including protection of fish. In low-water years, the Department's generation is reduced and the use of wholesale purchased power may increase in order to meet load. Normally, the Department experiences electricity usage peaks in winter; however, extreme weather conditions affecting either heating or cooling needs could cause the Department's seasonal fluctuations to be more pronounced and increase costs. In addition, economic trends (increase or decrease in business activity, housing sales and development of properties) can affect demand and change or increase costs. Energy Market Risk For the Department, energy market risk is the risk of adverse fluctuations in the price of wholesale electricity, which is compounded by volumetric changes affecting the availability of, or demand for electricity. Factors that contribute to energy market risk include: regional planned and unplanned generation plant outages, transmission constraints or disruptions, the number of active creditworthy market participants willing to transact, and environmental regulations that influence the availability of generation resources. The Department's exposure to hydro volumetric and energy market risk is managed by the ROC and the approved strategies are executed by the Power Operations and Marketing Division. The Department engages in market transactions to meet its load obligations and to realize earnings from surplus energy resources. With a significant portion of the Department's revenue expected from wholesale energy market sales, great emphasis is placed on the management of risks associated with this activity. Policies, procedures, and processes designed to manage, control and monitor these risks are in place. A formal front, middle, and back office structure is in place to ensure proper segregation of duties.

FileMaker "Portal In A Portal"
First, it goes without saying that FileMaker is a fantastic platform for developing such amazing custom apps. There are so many progressive features and things we can do to enhance the solutions we provide our clients.
Yet, during the course of development and your career you get accustom to the limitations of the environments use to create apps.
In this post, we'll demonstrate the solution used to accomplish the "portal within a portal" functionality. This was a major requirement to the project, and as most FileMaker developers know, we cannot actually create a portal within a portal. However, what you are about to see will accomplish the look and feel of the of the concept while leveraging some of FileMaker's other functionality.
Once this method was set up, it worked well, but it was not an easy implementation, especially when trying to format how the data would be displayed. If changes were to be needed, you would have to change each button individually, making this an absolute nightmare to manage. While reviewing this solution with a colleague, they suggested repeating fields…yep, repeating fields… and using the Get(CalculatedRepititionNumber) function. This allowed for a much simpler implementation, and allowed you to size and format each column quickly and easily with no crazy calculations or overhead to handle displaying the data properly.
In the following demo file, you'll see a customer layout with an invoice portal. I can't tell you how many times I have heard, "it would be nice to see what was on the invoice within the same portal." With this example, this is finally something achievable.
There is an internal "portal" that has a set of buttons to allow scrolling one record up or down, and another set of buttons that will allow you to page up or down on the internal portal. The portal is setup in a way that allows clean and easy editing of these records. In addition to those features, this approach is modular and is as light weight as possible from a performance perspective. The JSON is built using a recursive custom function and the script can be run server side (PSOS).
Video Demo
Demo File
This demo is still a work in progress but I felt that it is close enough to bring to the community to show that with the use of native FileMaker tools, including the JSON features released in 16, we can provide a more robust solution to our clients. Feel free to leave feedback and suggestions.

SAINT-PETERSBURG: World powers on Thursday discussed the Syria crisis over dinner at the G20 summit but failed to bridge their deeply entrenched divisions over a US push for military action against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
As tensions over the Syrian conflict threatened to torpedo the working schedule of the G20 summit outside Saint Petersburg, host Vladimir Putin made a last-minute announcement for participants to air their views over dinner.
But rather than seeking a genuine breakthrough, the leaders took turns over three hours to reiterate their own positions on the issue in 10-minute speeches, a diplomatic source close to the talks told AFP.
"The G20 has just now finished the dinner session at which the divisions about Syria were confirmed," Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who attended the dinner, said in a comment on his official Twitter feed.
Russia has led the opposition to US-led military action against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over a chemical attack on August 21 outside Damascus, which Washington says was perpetrated by the regime.
In New York, the US envoy to the United Nations accused Russia of holding the UN Security Council hostage, while British Prime Minister David Cameron said London had fresh evidence of chemical weapons use.
In a new bid for a peaceful solution for Syria, the UN announced that its special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi would attend meetings at the two-day summit to push for peace talks.
"Providing more arms to either side is not the answer. There is no military solution," the UN quoted Ban as telling the G20 leaders at the dinner hosted by Putin.
Russia meanwhile said Syria's Foreign Minister Walid Muallem would travel to Moscow on Monday as Obama seeks to convince US lawmakers to approve military action.
A French diplomatic source said the closed-door dinner, hosted by Putin at the luxurious imperial palace of Peterhof outside Saint Petersburg, was not meant to secure a deal.
"The objective was an exchange between the top world leaders and not to come to an agreement" on the crisis, said the source.
Following the dinner, which ended at around 1:00 am (2100 GMT), the leaders of the world's top emerging and developed nations were treated to a rendition of a abridged version of the opera "La Traviata".
Putin and Obama put on a show of smiles for the cameras as they shook hands just before the summit got under way on the shores of the Gulf of Finland.
— 'War cannot solve the problem' —
Syria's allies remained unmoved by Obama's push.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called allegations of an August 21 chemical weapons attack by the regime a "pretext" to launch strikes against the country, and pledged to support Damascus "until the end".
According to US intelligence, more than 1,400 people living in rebel-held suburbs of Damascus were killed in the strike, which involved the use of sarin nerve gas.
"We have just been looking at some samples taken from Damascus in the Porton Down laboratory in Britain which further shows the use of chemical weapons in that Damascus suburb," Cameron told BBC TV from the G20 summit.
A British source told AFP that a soil and cloth sample taken from the site of the alleged chemical attack in the Syrian capital "has tested positive for sarin".
Beyond convincing Russia, Obama has a tough sell ahead elsewhere. China — another veto-wielding Security Council member — has already expressed its "grave concerns" over unilateral military strikes.
A political solution is the only way to end the Syria crisis, a senior Chinese official said on Thursday, warning world powers to be "highly prudent" over the issue.
"War cannot solve the problem in Syria," Chinese delegation spokesman Qin Gang told reporters at the G20.
Pope Francis added his voice to the calls for a peaceful solution to the Syria crisis, warning against the "futile pursuit of a military solution".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has repeatedly ruled out her country's participation in any US-led military strike against Assad's regime, while the British parliament has also rejected the idea.
EU president Herman van Rompuy said while the Damascus chemical attack was "a crime against humanity" there was "no military solution to the Syrian conflict".
While no formal bilateral sit-down meeting is planned between Obama and Putin, a White House official suggested there would likely be some kind of more informal conversation.
With Russia expected to use its UN Security Council veto to block any military action, US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power on Thursday accused Russia of holding the UN Security Council "hostage" over the Syria crisis.
Western military action against Syria had looked imminent last week, but Obama deferred the move and is seeking backing from Congress when it resumes sitting next week.
Since British lawmakers voted down a bid for strikes against the regime, Washington has found a firm partner in France.
Now in its third year, the popular uprising against the Assad regime has cost more than 100,000 lives.

Startups have transformed the face of businesses in this digital era. They came, started their work and mesmerized everyone with their wonderful products and services. The entrepreneurial behavior and activity helped them to advance in sectors like information technology and telecommunication. While it was purely their fate on one end, the sincere dedication was the other half that paved way for their success.
These days we see startups emerge but some common mistakes are such that hinders the way for entrepreneurs to carry on fruitful businesses. Today I would like to highlight 3 sureshot blunders which startups make while stretching to become successful.
Delaying the Release
While this might not seem a very common issue with startups, the actual ratio if measured is quite high. You'd probably say, "Who'd on earth would want to delay the launch of his own product, it's sheer madness."
Believe me, there are startups out there who delay thinking it's probably not the right time to bring the product to the world either because they think the market isn't convinced to see or probably their vision exceeds all compasses of opening it to a small market. Whatever the case, the idea is to think about the product in between not-all-perfect and just-satisfactory. Startups must get the best from their product, go back to its makeup and opt for the best ways of delivering value through them.
Losing Focus
Delaying mistake can often add fuel this point. You see the product growing, its features performing the best but there is sudden happening and you see a big dip. This happens so-very often. We try to aim but sometimes aim bad. Other times, we are not focused. Our core objectives aren't clear and we end up getting something we never demanded. Furthermore, the irritated team members give inferior results in the product.
To be far from issues like these, the solution is to be clear and real in setting goals and checking up with their fulfillment. You can go around making weekly goals, even monthly will work. But keep the original vision in mind, always.
Bad Hiring Decisions
You might never know but the resource you just added was due to a personal influence. The hiring decisions are the most important. Sometimes you see a specific skill set present in the resource but you forget to check up with the big picture correlating it with your company. Now seriously, you got to stop these kinds of enrollments. Check up with the company and its vision comparing these with potential employee's skills and abilities that you want to bring to your startup. It's really good to stretch your budget but a valued resource is something that you should always see in a person in order to get the business running.

The sweet fragrance of summer roses fills the air. Dusky blooms spill out into Mottisfont's walled garden and along Hinton Ampner's grassy terraces. There's eye-popping colour everywhere you look at this time of year, from The Vyne's magnificent dahlia border to kitchen gardens brimming with lush leafy salads. Every time you stop to smell the roses you're helping to support their continued care.
Until early summer the stars of the show at Mottisfont are undoubtedly its glorious rose collection. Then the walled gardens' richly planted herbaceous borders take centre stage. You'll discover geraniums, asters, lilies, phlox, Shasta daisies and nepata, to name just a few. Soft blues, pinks and whites are in the centre of the borders, with stronger colours at the ends - dark pinks, yellows, oranges. They draw your eye along the length of the border.
Hinton Ampner is bursting with floral colour in summer. Discover swathes of elegant irises in cool blues, whites, reds and purples. The walled kitchen garden is brimming with leafy produce and a cut flower border full of delphiniums, alstroemeria and richly scented sweetpeas.

The Vyne's summerhouse garden has been replanted in fiery floral shades of scarlet, amber and deep purple. The orchard is filled with wildflowers and the sound of humming bees. In the walled garden you'll find the star of the show - a magnificent dahlia border in all colours of the rainbow.
Perched high above the South Downs, Uppark''s pretty wildflower meadow is the perfect spot from which to soak up the panoramic views over summer countryside. You'll also discover a mini scented garden filled with fragrant garden lilies and philadelphus.
You'll find two very different little gardens here, tucked away in the tranquil Hampshire village of Burghclere. A meadow orchard reveals soft grasses, wildflowers and seating beneath its fruit trees. The Garden of Reflection offers pretty traditional cottage garden planting in soft colours.

When it comes time to repair brake rotors, there are a […]
When it comes time to repair brake rotors, there are a few things that you should know about first. A brake rotor is something that you will be able to resurface and repair several times before you actually have to replace it. It is important that you know how to do it as well as when it is the right time to resurface the brake rotor. If you resurface your brake rotor too much, then you could end up actually shortening the life of your rotor as it will make it thinner and is unnecessary.
One of the main reasons that you will need to resurface your rotor is because of parallelism. If you notice that your vehicle is having trouble staying parallel, then this could be one of the first indicators that your rotors need to be resurfaced. Also, look for rotor scoring. Rotor scoring could be a cause of a bad pad formulation. If this is the case, then you should still do the penny test to check the depth. If you can still see the top of its head, then your rotors are good for a little while longer.
A rotor surface may end up getting material from the old pad transfer. In order to remove this, you will need to get out your grit sandpaper. Use this to get the surface good and scuffed up to remove the excess material. This is something that you will be able to do without having to actually resurface your rotors. You will also be able to use roll loc discs to do the job. These things will be able to get your rotor clean and smooth again without having to do the actual job of resurfacing.
Whenever your brake rotors need to be resurfaced, you will need to take them to a professional. A professional has a machine that will resurface them so that they will work like new again. This is not something that you will be able to do several times. Make sure that you ask the person doing it if it is time to simply replace your rotors to see if resurfacing is something that will really benefit them. It is always a good idea to go to a professional that you trust so that they will tell you whether or not resurfacing is necessary for your rotors. Once the rotor has been successfully resurfaced, you will be able to take it back to your vehicle and put it back on.
Test drive your vehicle so that you will be able to get a good feel as to whether or not the resurfacing of your brake rotor has actually done anything. If it has not, then you may end up needing to completely replacing your rotors.

Confirming the news, actor Sanjay Dutt said, "I have been looking for scripts that went beyond my screen persona. I wanted to do something vulnerable yet powerful. Bhoomi is an emotional and sensitive drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter."
To be directed by Omung Kumar, word is that Bhoomi promises to portray the charismatic Dutt in a yet unseen avatar. "This one will keep the audience taut and on the edge of their seats" says Omung Kumar.
"Bhoomi is an emotional, revenge drama that centres around the relationship between a father and daughter" adds Omung.
Producer Bhushan Kumar says, "Sanjay Dutt's versatility as an actor will be on display with Bhoomi'. I am personally looking forward to this film."

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2
President Barack Obama and his supporters continue to slash at Gov. Mitt Romney for keeping some of his private-sector wealth overseas, even though the president's Illinois pension is also invested in Chinese companies and a fund in the Cayman Islands.
"When he talks about getting tough on China, keep in mind that Gov. Romney invested in companies that were pioneers of outsourcing to China, and is currently investing in countries — in companies that are building surveillance equipment for China to spy on its own folks," Obama insisted during the Oct. 16 presidential debate at Hofstra University.
The president's overseas wealth is part of the pension he earned from his six years in Democratic-run Illinois legislature. The pension, which is worth between $50,000 and $100,000, is managed by the Illinois State Board of Investment. http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/20/obamas-pension-includes-chinese-and-cayman-investments/
Ya gotta love Democrats (if you don't, who will??). They exemplify unrestrained, unrelenting hypocrisy.
Obama and his drone 'obamabotes', as well as most of the elected Congressional Democrats, rave and rail against the "wealthy". Those ubber rich, successful Americans we're some how supposed to hate, as if they were the real enemy of America.
The Democrats all continue to bemoan and groan about Gov. Romney's well earned wealth, while they quietly ignore their own equally, filty rich — Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi, who is one of the wealthiest in Washington. How about all those ubber rich Kennedy people which have never been attacked for their wealth. And then there's Barack who has quickly accumulated immerse wealth while in the Chicago Senate and now as President. It's no wonder politicians stomp all over one another in the race to see who will gain the most money. Sadly for Americans, it's usually OUR money, taxpayer money, which these people put in their own pockets.
But back to the hypocrites. Obama bashes Gov. Romney as if he were doing something illegal, when he's not. Romney has taken advantages of the same 'avenues of success' and investment strategies as has Obama. . . . but somehow, we're to believe that's OK when a Demcorat does it — but not when done by a Republican.
Conservatives and most Republicans, don't flap their mouths against people who've made money. Honestly, isn't that what we all strive for? Most of us do so honestly. But when wealth finds it's way to the door of a Conservative or Republican, we're to believe it instantly becomes "greed", gained illegally from the "evil rich", out to do everyone of us in.
It's ridiculous and tiring . . . . and to be expected from Democrats. Especially the Democrat who 'claimed' he didn't view America as: "not red America or blue America, but one America!".
Alas, I knew little Barry- Barack didn't mean that when he said it — and another reason I didn't, and wouldn't, vote for him.

In a lot of circumstances lately, when a home-owner needs to hold out a number of house improvement tasks for their home, he or she usually tries to search out professionals and rent them to handle the said mission. Also in later seasons, Wilson's full title was revealed to be Wilson W. Wilson, Jr. It is quick and straightforward to use for a home enchancment loan, and, if your loan application is approved and you've signed your loan agreement on-line, the money is often transferred to your current account within minutes2.
By paying your loan off early you will pay lower than in case you paid over the usual time period. While you select to go for home enchancment ideas, you won't absolutely waste the investment that you simply spend. The sides of the stage result in the garage on the left and the side garden on the suitable, where Tim will get advice from Wilson.
Annually, on the anniversary of your loan opening, you'll be sent a loan statement confirming details of the repayments made and repayments excellent. There are a selection of low cost dwelling enchancment plans that you may employ a certified person to do for you with out spending too much.
You do not have to spend masses of cash since there may be also an reasonably priced dwelling enchancment mission in your budget. We understand the distinction a house improvement mortgage could make to your life, rising comfort and including house, so we all the time take a look at your whole story to be sure you really feel at home with the mortgage process.
Solely when complaining to Wilson later did she notice that she dropped hints but by no means ACTUALLY explained what was going on. Curtain Call : The show ended on an identical word as Mary Tyler Moore with the solid breaking character and taking a bow. We don't charge administration charges or transaction costs and you'll pay back your home enchancment loan early with out penalty, if that becomes an possibility.

Working mother of three, and a work in progress. I've managed to collect degrees from FSU (BA in Russian Language) and Emory Law (JD), and am now taking classes in Web Programming and Development.
Most of the photos on my blog are my own, typically taken with my cell phone camera, and edited by myself, though if I do use someone else's photo, I include that information.
I love feedback, just like any other author. Constructive criticism is the most appreciated, but I have relatively thick skin and can deal with occasional bashing. If you find broken links, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I can fix them!
I'm currently trying to maintain the themes of "Weird" or "WTF" Wednesdays and "Fiction Fridays." Not sure how long I will go with the same themes, or even the same fiction story on Fridays – it depends on my mood, and when I think the story is "done."
Visit my "photography only" website at http://mericate.wordpress.com
I hope you enjoy what you find here.

Tudor Character
n this section, you'll create a character based on a real person who lived in Tudor Durham. You can download a booklet to help you record all the different things about your character:
If you've looked at the 'Who Lived There?' section, you'll know that churches in Tudor times (and today) kept books called registers that list all the children christened at that church.
Because the writing is faded and hard to read, we've made a transcript of baptisms at Durham St Oswald for you to look at. It's split into separate charts for boy and girls, so you can easily pick out which you'd like.
Pick a name from the transcript. Remember that the spellings were different to ours, so you may need to puzzle out some of the names.
When you've chosen a name, write it down with the christening date. Then find out about Tudor Jobs.

Christina is a 23-year-old DACA recipient in a mixed status family. She has two U.S. citizen brothers, one of whom served in the Navy. Christina's sister is also a DACA recipient and suffers from schizophrenia and has a young daughter. Her mother is undocumented.
Because her brothers are U.S. citizens, Christina's mother would be eligible for DAPA.
Christina was brought to the U.S. from Mexico when she was one year old. "I never really saw myself as an immigrant or even gave my 'status' a second thought," says Christina. "The phrase 'not having papers' never bothered me because I never understood the meaning of it."
"I remember sitting in front of the school computer and starting to fill out the application. When I had to enter my social security number I realized that I didn't have that little blue card."
Christina's immigration status didn't affect her life directly until senior year, when she and her friends were thinking of applying to school. "We were all so excited. I remember sitting in front of the school computer and starting to fill out the application. When I had to enter my social security number I realized that I didn't have that little blue card [with a social security number] that my friends had with them," she says. "That's when I realized it does matter."
Christina felt confused and helpless. "I can still feel that feeling of embarrassment for not being like everyone else in my class and not being able to pay for college," she says. Christina was an honors student in high school, and had planned on continuing her education in college.
"I was so close to not attend college because the idea of paying for it out of pocket was so overwhelming," remembers Christina. Fortunately, her high school counselor pushed her to follow through and apply to community colleges. "I'll always be grateful for her…she didn't let that happen," shares Christina.
Christina began attending a community college and studying to earn her associate's degree. To support herself, she got a job at a local grocery store: "Getting a job at [the store] was a blessing… because it helped pay my way for school for many years."
When DACA was announced in 2012, Christina had saved enough money to apply. "I didn't think twice to pay for the application fee and get the process moving," she shares. "I was finally able to apply to any job I wanted and to get a social security number!"
With DACA, Christina was able to start working at a bank and is now working towards her bachelor's degree.
"My mom's income is not a lot and she can't call out ever because sick days are not paid for her. With DAPA she can get a job that at least offers her some sort of benefits."
While DACA has allowed Christina to continue pursuing her education and career, her family still lives with the anxiety of not knowing if and when her mother will be deported. Both Christina and her mom contribute to rent and utilities for the apartment where they live with Christina's sister and her sister's daughter.
"My mom works in a factory and they pay her per piece. She has to worry about being fast and accurate when sewing things," Christina says. "My mom's income is not a lot and she can't call out ever because sick days are not paid for her. With DAPA she can get a job that at least offers her some sort of benefits."
DAPA would mean that Christina's mother can secure work authorization and a job with better pay and benefits, enabling her to take care of her daughter with schizophrenia and her granddaughter.
