It is the responsibility of every homeowner to know the difference between power strips and surge protectors. These household devices are essential to keep the overall quality and safety of your electronics.
Undoubtedly, all houses have two or more electronic items and appliances. After all, most of the home furnishings today need electricity to operate.
Table could not be displayed.
Some of us have properties which have limited power outlets. This inadequacy can easily be solved if you have a power strip. A power strip is an electronic accessory that you plug into any of your wall outlets. This device serves as an extension or a multiplier to your power outlet. Specifically, it contains several outlets of its own. This allows you to connect more electronics even if your primary outlet is limited.
In fact, a power strip is a common to many buildings today . In the past, this equipment is just a household accessory. As time passed by, power strips became common to corporate buildings. However, this is to be expected. Offices use a lot of computers and other machines. Of course, you can't run them all with a few power outlets present.
We are all familiar with the appearance of a power strip. However, many of us often confuse it with a surge protector. These two devices are quite similar in physical appearance. However, their functions are totally different.
Power Strips
As mentioned, a power strip multiplies the capability of your power outlets to cater numerous electronic devices. This accessory is essential to homes that have scarcity in electrical outlets.
The capacity of a power strip varies from one brand to another. Typically, the minimum number of outlets a power strip has is two. Some heavy-duty variety of this item can even accommodate twenty electronic devices at once!
Indeed, the function of a power strip is essential. However, there is a limit to its performance. When it comes to protecting the integrity of your appliances, you may need the service of a surge protector.
Surge Protector
A surge protector has a physical semblance with a power strip. In fact, it can also function the same way as power strips do. But this electronic accessory has a very crucial role. This device acts as a shield to protect your electronic items from power spikes and other electrical deterrents.
Usually, a power spike happens temporarily. Specifically, it just occurs in less than a second. This typically happens when there are tripping in the circuit breakers, sudden power outages and more. This unprecedented power increase can also take place during a lightning strike, although it is very rare.
Power spikes can be hazardous to the health of your home appliances. It doesn't matter if your electronics are well-built. If a power spike hits its internal system, severe damage can happen.
A surge protector can save your appliances from this unwanted predicament. It could also save you from a surprising toll of expenses due to repairs and costs!
However, you should know that a surge protector cannot protect devices that are directly struck by lightning.
What Appliance Should You Connect To A Surge Protector
One of your top priorities should be your computer. This machine is so sensitive when it comes to electricity. A minor spike or surge in current can disrupt its operation. Sometimes, it could even fry the internal hardware of this machine. Moreover, they are costly, too. Therefore, you need to attach your computer to a surge protector.
Your television set, air conditioning system, and refrigerator also need the service of this safety device is especially important for RVs. If you have an RV and are looking for a goo RV surge protector, then check out this blog post on the 5 Best RV Surge Protector (30 & 50 AMP/EMS) Reviews - StayonTrials.
If your servers are attached to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), then you can spare it from a surge protector. A UPS acts as a backup battery. They instantly activate once there are power outages. Through this mechanism, the server won't shut down suddenly. It also plays the same role as a surge protector.
Price Of A Surge Protector And A Power Strip
Because of its importance, a surge protector is slightly more expensive than a power strip. However, it is not steeply priced as what you are thinking. It is a worthy investment, especially if you are living in areas that are prone to bolts of lightning and power tripping.
A surge protector such as the RV Surge Protector can cost from $10 to $20. A power strip, on the other hand, has a base price of less than $10. The more the outlets of a surge protector, the more pricey it is. The same principle applies to a power strip.
Choosing the best surge protector and the power strip is essential. However, it will boil down to your preference of what brand or model you will pick. Just take the time to scrutinize the quality and capacity of the unit that you want. In this way, you can be sure that they can accommodate the electrical systems in your home.
How To Tell The Difference Between A Surge Protector And A Power Strip
You can easily distinguish these accessories from one another. You only need to look at their electrical ratings. Typically, surge protectors have power ratings in joules. It also contains numbers that pertain to the maximum voltage it can take from a power spike.
Obviously, these figures are not present to a power strip.
Take note that a surge protector is quite also the same with a surge suppressor. However, its primary function is to protect your appliances from sudden changes in current.
Both power strips and surge protectors are essential to the overall welfare of your electronic devices. As long as you have them in your house, you can extend the lifespan of your appliances. They also prevent unwanted expenditures from electronic repairs!
Ideally, you will need these two accessories at the same time. You may think that you only need one of them. However, if you own several sensitive and expensive electronics such as computers, then you will need the service of a power strip and a surge protector simultaneously.

Fall is in full swing and so is Halloweensie! Pop over to Susanna Hill's Halloweensie contest to read the contest entries when you have a moment you are in for a treat! Here is my entry is less than 100 words, using a variation of the words: potion, cobweb and treat.
The Pumpkin Stand
By Kari Ann Gonzalez
On Halloween, plump pumpkins were picked.
Not Gorda. Gourds were too green. Too warty. Still, Gorda longed for a home.
She cleared the cobwebs, and stood tall- even pasted triangles to become a Gord-A-Lantern. Nothing worked.
The last pumpkin was picked. And Gorda's dreams were squashed. It couldn't get any worse…until Witch whisked Gorda away on her broom!
Gorda knew she was destined for stew.
After a short flight,
Witch sprinkled a putrid potion.
Seasoning, Gorda sighed.
Gorda looked up to see… a tiny witch hat?
Witch said, "Now, you look just like me. Let's go trick-or-treating!"
Happy Early Valentiny Day!

"Welcome, Garret! We weren't expecting you until next week." Ms. Munoz said.
Ezra watched Garret shuffle to a seat in the back.
Poor Garret. Who starts a new school on Valentine's day?
Ezra remembered what it was like to be new.
He looked at the valentines he made…but, he was one card short.
"Recess!" Ms. Munoz declared. Kids raced to the playground.
Tiptoe, tiptoe. Ezra snuck to the art station.
He grabbed a few supplies.
"What are you working on?" Garret asked.
Ezra shoved his project behind him. "Nothing…"
"Oh. Okay." Garret's shoulders slumped.
Ezra's face flushed. He swallowed, watching Garret walk away.
Ezra could have introduced himself…but, he had to finish his project.
Students started to file back in.
Ezra whispered to Katya. She passed the glitter pens.
Shawn peaked over Ezra's shoulder and nodded.
Ezra slid the project to Thuy. She added a special touch and passed it to Dion
"Time for our Valentine's party!" Ms. Munoz clapped.
Garret shrank further into his chair… until glittery fish caught his eye.
Ezra held out a huge fishbowl shaped valentine signed by the whole class. It read, 'Garret, I'm so glad we swim in the same school. Happy Valentine's Day!' Garret smiled shyly, "Thanks, I hope we'll be FINtastic friends."
A Very Merry Holiday

X Marks the Spot
By Kari Ann Gonzalez
"Nick?" Cole whispers.
"Here we go again…" Nick yawns from the top bunk.
"What if Santa loses his GPS? How will he find us in California?"
"Rudolph always brings a backup map." Nick says rolling over. "Besides, I thought of that. I strung Christmas lights between our palm trees that read, 'Santa, Cole and Nick live here. We've been mostly nice, stop here please!'"
"Well, what if Santa stops but he has a tummy ache from too many sweets? What if he's allergic to dairy?" Cole asks.
"Hmmm. Let's give Santa spice to forget about the sweets. We'll leave California sushi rolls with lots of wasabi, and almond milk to drink!"
"Okay Nick, but what if Santa gets too hot in our California heat? What if he can't get in, because we don't have a chimney?"
"What if we leave Santa a red bathing suit, and your surf board to cool off in the sea? We'll open a window to lure Santa in with the smell of wasabi wafting on the breeze."
"But Nick, what if Santa runs into ninja-bread pirates pillaging Christmas trees?"
"What do you think we should do?" Nick yawns again.
"Let's treat them to cocoa, and ask them to behave nicely. We'll melt their hearts reading Christmas cards, until they return the gifts to the tree. Then, we'll sing pirate carols until Christmas morning!" Cole said
"Argh, matey! But Santa won't come until we go to sleep…Cole?"

Boogie Monster Finds His Groove
By Kari Ann Gonzalez
The Halloween Ball is hopping.
So is Boogie Monster.
Darn broken leg!
Vampire's moves are silky smooth.
And Werewolf? He can really cut a rug.
"Boogie, why in the cauldron aren't you dancing?" Witch asks.
"I can't move like I used to."
"Give it a try!"
Clunk. Boogie's cast echoes on the floor.
Boogie shakes off a shiver.
"Join us Boogie!" Vampire entices.
Kerplunk! Boogie's Tango ends in a tangle.
"See, you can still get down!" Werewolf howls.
Putting his best foot forward, Boogie finds the beat.
His hands begin to dance and move.
Then Boogie finds his Halloween groove!
A picture book author fostering connections with the writerly community.

Delonghi - Pump Espresso Maker - EC155 Features
DeLonghi EC 155 review cannot be completed without talking about its features. It is certainly equipped with sufficient features that you can ask for in a budget-friendly coffee maker.
Let's look into its brewing ability, power, design, and user-friendliness.
DeLonghi EC 155 reviews from its users suggest that it is a 'make-life-easy' kind of a machine with a very straight learning curve.
It is very easy to operate this machine because its self-priming system makes it easy to get started with your coffee.
You just need to turn it on, and then the whole process is hands-off. Start brewing and stop once you've got the wanted amount of espresso.
The best thing about its ease of use is that you can use both coffee pods and ground coffee beans. For the best cup experience, use ground coffee beans. They do serve not only the perfect coffee but also produce far less waste than pods.
One thing that makes it a brilliant choice for beginners is its simple interface. Everything is controlled with one dial. You can use the dial to turn on the machine, brew, and forth.
All the features are controlled with one small dial only – which is due to the reason that DeLonghi EC 155 was designed smoothly as the topmost priority.
Strong Brewing Capability
A great cup of espresso starts with precisely heated water, which is then poured into coffee beans to get a perfectly brewed coffee. DeLonghi EC 155 has stainless steel broiled with an integrated thermostat that monitors the temperature of the water.
DeLonghi EC 155 is capable of serving you perfect espresso and cappuccino as well. Whether you're a lover of espresso or creamy-textured cappuccino, DeLonghi EC 155 is an ideal choice for both types of coffee lovers.
Espresso is extracted from the beans with a 15-bar pressure pump, which serves perfect coffee every time. For preparing a cup of cappuccino or latte, swivel jet frother provides precise milk frothing and gives a balanced, creamy texture.
DeLonghi EC 155 reviews by its users suggest that this machine is just the right kind of coffee maker for those who are new to the extraction game. The quality of the drink provided by this machine is as good as your favorite café's basic espresso or cappuccino.
However, there are not many options for manual tweaks. DeLonghi EC 155 is a point & shoot coffee maker.
Milk frothing
A coffee maker cannot be an excellent coffee maker if it doesn't have the milk frothing capability. To get a perfect cappuccino, milk frothing capability must be available in the machine. DeLonghi EC 155 is equipped with a state-of-the-art swivel jet frother. The frother is integrated right next to the cappuccino maker and has a perfect angle for frothing & steaming the milk.
You can control the frother with the same dial that is used to control brewing.
Easy cleaning
DeLonghi EC 155 reviews by its users depict that no user ever complains about its cleaning and maintenance. One of the biggest features of this machine is that its cleaning is very easy. The brewer has cleaning light, which indicates you when it needs cleaning. You can take out the brewer and broiler easily and clean it with a dishwasher because it is dishwasher safe.
The filter holder is also easy to take out and makes it easy to clean the portafilter. Keeping the machine clean doesn't only serve you hygienic and fresh coffee but also improve the longevity of the machine. You can disassemble the steam wand as well. However, you always need to take it out after every use to keep it protected and in good condition for a longer period.

The Tualatin America's Best Communities (ABC) Team is heading to Denver this month to compete in the final round of the competition sponsored by Frontier Communications, Co Bank, Dish, and The Weather Channel for a chance to win $3 million! Starting this process more than two years ago with over 350 communities across the country, it has been an incredible ride with now only eight communities still in the race. While the competition has been exciting, the collaboration among community partners is the real champion!
The Tualatin ABC team which includes representatives from the City, the Chamber, Mask & Mirror Community Theatre, Tigard-Tualatin School District and others conducted extensive community outreach to develop a Community Revitalization Plan that seeks to foster increased access to and competency in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) education. This focused initiative will:
• Increase economic and employment opportunities for our youth, especially within our economically-disadvantaged and under-represented populations;
• Provide a pipeline of talent for local industries; and,
• Accelerate the implementation of multiple community priorities identified in our community vision, Tualatin Tomorrow.
Our plan outlined a short-term strategy of developing a Mobile Makerspace which would enable us to take STEAM learning on the road, into schools, neighborhoods and a variety of events and festivals. Our newly completed 19-foot Makerspace trailer houses a variety of equipment and tools to allow for an interactive design and creation experience led by bilingual staff from the Tualatin Library and community volunteers. Curricula was designed by staff from the Tualatin Library and TTSD. The maker activities were launched during the summer of 2016 at community events, by October the curriculum was started in the local elementary schools, and in January the construction of the Mobile Makerspace trailer was complete. Our program's unique attribute is its mobility. STEAM education is rolling to wherever the kids are; schools, neighborhoods, and community events, to maximize access and utilization. Mobility equals access and access equals opportunity. The school district, library and local employers have assisted us in acquiring equipment to outfit the trailer with computers for multimedia and CAD, 3D printers, and various tools and that is connecting kids to the latest technology. To date, our events have reached over 4,000 members of our community!
We rely on schools to prepare kids for the future, yet, it isn't their job alone. So, a long-term strategy has been developed which builds on the success of the Mobile Makerspace, by establishing a Community Career and Creative Center. It will complement the Mobile Makerspace for students of all ages in learning applied sciences for high paying careers. This facility will offer a permanent makerspace, as well as classrooms where students will acquire competencies in collaborative problem solving, critical thinking, job readiness, and STEAM curricula. The Center will also promote activities in the arts including a venue for displays and performances. It will be a creative preparatory center for employment and higher education, where students gain technical skills, and are inspired to expand their imaginations and creativity, thereby, developing tools needed to succeed in life. This will require more work into the future as we continue to develop partnerships and raise funds, but the ABC competition has helped in galvanizing these relationships and has built momentum for our efforts.
We wish our team members Mayor Lou Ogden, Library Manager Jerianne Thompson and Tualatin Tomorrow Vice- Chair/Mask & Mirror Board Member John Bartholomew the best of luck as they represent our community in the final competition in Denver on April 19th. The rest of the team will be watching the live stream of the competition and cheering them on from Tualatin. Stay tuned for more details on where and when to watch the presentations by following us on social media: @TUALATINABC (Twitter), FACEBOOK. COM/TUALATINABC, or INSTAGRAM.COM/ TUALATINMAKERSPACE.
There are many ways to get involved in the project through volunteering and donations. Learn more at tualatinmakerspace.com. Go Team Tualatin! Let's go full STEAM ahead!

Dirty Root Beer~Secret Recipe Club Reveal
When I was looking through, I had a plan in mind, I was looking for a cheesecake because that is what I needed to make for my PEO Book Club that was coming up. No cheesecakes to be found, but I did find this Skillet Brownie and these Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Waffles that my son-in-law would love! But when I found this recipe for Dirty Root Beer, I knew I had a winner.
Some of you know or might remember, that I was a carhop at an A & W Root Beer stand in my home town. This was my high school job and I really loved it!
So never having heard of Dirty Root Beer before, I had to look it up. Evidently it is root beer with a shot of tequila. Yikes! So now I had to try two drinks! First up, the Dirty Root Beer.
Next, the Nonalcoholic Dirty Root Beer. I have to admit, this is more to my liking. Who doesn't love root beer and ice cream? The additional vanilla is awesome, too. Really smooths out the root beer, even A & W.
Would you like to comment?
Yumm!! I haven't had a good root beer float in ages.... this time of year the weather is calling for them!ReplyDelete
So glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for the kind words and write up. Happy reveal day!ReplyDelete
I adore root beer! Never though to add a shot of tequila to it though, but I have tried bourbon ;-)ReplyDelete
Root beer floats were always a special treat when I was growing up. Now I want one again. Happy Reveal Day!ReplyDelete
A&W Rootbeer is the best.ReplyDelete
We love a good root beer float in our house! It's been a while since I've made one, now you've got me craving one. I'm also intrigued about other dirty root beer, I love the vanilla vodka suggestion by Karen!ReplyDelete
And now I'm craving a root beer float. Will have to try the 'dirty root beer' idea using some of my new homemade vanilla extract which I just started using some vodka. Does that qualify as Vanilla vodka?ReplyDelete
Smells and tastes like wintergreen using two and a half shots tequila and A&W root beer!ReplyDelete
On the off chance that you start to have withdrawal indications when you quit drinking, at that point it is most secure to either tighten gradually, to look into a detox, or to get a few meds from your primary care physician to assist you with liquor withdrawal. malta drinksReplyDelete

The joint-client doctrine, which applies when one lawyer represents two or more clients, holds that the attorney–client privilege protects lawyer–client communications against all others but not when the clients become adverse to each other. Separately, the at-issue waiver doctrine provides that a client waives the attorney–client privilege when he claims that the attorney breached a duty arising from the attorney–client relationship.
But what happens to the privilege when one, but not the other, of the lawyer's joint clients sues the lawyer for malpractice—can the nonsuing client assert the privilege to prevent disclosure of attorney–client communications made in the course of joint representation?
In what appears to be a matter of first impression, a California appellate court answered in the negative, ruling that one joint client waives the privilege for all joint clients when he charges the attorney with malpractice. Anten v. Superior Court, 183 Cal. Rptr. 3d 422 (Ct. App. 2015). You may read the decision here.
Malpractice Suit
In Anten, Lewis Anten and Arnold and Lillian Rubin retained a law firm to represent them on a matter of common interest. Anten later sued the law firm for malpractice, but the Rubins did not. Anten sought discovery of communications between the Rubins and the law firm, but the law firm asserted that the attorney–client privilege protected those communications and the Rubins had not waived it.
The court rejected the privilege and identified two bases for its ruling.
First, the court determined that, because the Anten and the Rubins were joint clients of the law firm, their communications were confidential and privileged as to strangers, but not between themselves. In other words, the Rubins had no expectation of confidentiality with respect to Anten. No confidentiality equals no privilege.
Second, the court held that considerations of "fundamental fairness" weighed in favor of vitiating the privilege. It found unfair the situation where one joint client could prevent a lawyer from introducing communications in a suit to collect his fee. And conversely, it found unfair the situation where a nonsuing client could prevent disclosure of communications in the other client's suit against the lawyer. The court also found "substantial" the risk of collusion between the joint clients in the former situation and the lawyer-nonsuing client in the latter situation.
POP Analysis
Given the joint-client doctrine, the court's ruling on the first-impression issue is not surprising. Joint clients must know and understand that communications with their lawyer, whether in separate or joint meetings, are not confidential between themselves. And they must know that it is unlikely that they can raise the privilege to preclude disclosure of their communications in any subsequent suit involving the clients and lawyer as adversaries.
The Anten case provides lawyers with a take-away as well. Lawyers representing multiple clients should ensure that their clients understand the lack of confidentiality between themselves of lawyer communications—in any situation. A best practice is to include these statements in the engagement agreement or otherwise having the client sign an acknowledgement.

Court Says Parochial Schools Can Require Immunizations
Courts cannot order parochial schools to admit children who haven't been immunized, a three-judge panel of the First District Court of Appealruled Tuesday.
The judges unanimously rejected an appeal by Patrick Flynn, who wanted his youngest child to continue to attend Holy Spirit School without getting the immunizations the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine began requiring for the 2015-16 school year.
Flynn said a religious exemption to the state's mandatory immunization law should also apply to the parochial school, but the diocese said that would violate its own First Amendment rights.
Judge Scott Makar, writing for himself and Judge Ross Bilbrey, said courts have traditionally found that arguments about religious doctrine should be resolved within the church.
"The Diocese has a religiously based immunization policy with which one of its members disagrees; Mr. Flynn seeks the power of the State to compel the Diocese to depart from its point-of-view and admit his non-immunized son," Makar wrote. "But doing so would further his own religious views at the expense of the Diocese's on the topic of immunizations. We are convinced that a secular court should not be making the judgment as to which side's religious view of immunization is to be respected." Judge Susan Kelsey agreed only with the result, writing in a separate opinion that the issue "can be resolved easily and expeditiously under well-settled precedent."

New data shows COVID-19 pandemic now 'completely out of control' in Ontario, key scientific adviser says
Hospitalizations more than 20% higher than at start of the last provincewide lockdown
A new briefing note from a panel of science experts advising the Ontario government on COVID-19 shows a province at a tipping point.
Variants that are more deadly are circulating widely, new daily infections have reached the same number at the height of the second wave, and the number of people hospitalized is now more than 20 per cent higher than at the start of the last provincewide lockdown, states an analysis from Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table published on Monday night.
"Right now in Ontario, the pandemic is completely out of control," Dr. Peter Juni, the table's scientific director and a professor of medicine and epidemiology with the University of Toronto, said in an interview prior to the briefing note's publication.
That stark assessment follows weeks of warnings from medical professionals in Ontario over rising case counts and fast-spreading variants. It comes the same day B.C. announced it will be implementing a three-week "circuit breaker"-style lockdown, with sweeping new restrictions on indoor dining in restaurants, group fitness and worship services.
Juni said for Ontario, there is now "no way out" of the dire scenario that's set to unfold over the next few weeks without a widespread lockdown as well — coupled with other measures, including the province providing paid sick leave to essential workers, encouraging Ontarians to avoid movement between regions, and ensuring residents have access to lower-risk outdoor activities.
"There is no such thing as winning this race with just vaccinations," Juni stressed. "That's impossible."
WATCH | 60% higher risk of death from coronavirus variants, new Ont. data says:
Variants now 67% of Ontario infections
The table's latest analysis, first reported by CBC News on Friday, shows new variants of concern now account for 67 per cent of all SARS-CoV-2 infections in Ontario.
Compared with the early strain that circulated, the variants — which are primarily B117, the variant first identified in the U.K. — are proving to cause more severe illness.
The briefing note outlines that the variants are associated with a more than 60 per cent increased risk of hospitalization, a doubled risk of admission to intensive care, and a 56 per cent increased risk of death.
By March 28, the daily number of new SARS-CoV-2 infections in Ontario also "reached the daily number of cases observed near the height of the second wave, at the start of the province-wide lockdown," on Dec. 26, 2020, the note reads.
Toronto-based geriatrician Dr. Nathan Stall, a member of the science table, said Ontario is "repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again."
"We continually fail to protect the most vulnerable," he continued. "First it was long-term care, now it's community-dwelling older adults [and] essential workers."
The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 is now 21 per cent higher than at the start of the province-wide lockdown, while ICU occupancy is 28 per cent higher. The percentage of COVID-19 patients in ICUs who are younger than 60 is about 50 per cent higher.
"We're seeing this shift of who's in the hospital and who's in the ICU right now ... that's worrying," said University of Toronto epidemiologist and researcher Ashleigh Tuite, the lead author on the briefing note.
Emergency and critical care physicians have also highlighted that trend, noting anecdotally in recent weeks that patients appeared to be showing up to hospitals both younger and more seriously ill than during the first two waves of the pandemic in Ontario.
The good news, according to Stall, is that the once-raging fire in long-term care has been nearly extinguished. But he warned younger, unvaccinated adults remain at risk of falling ill.
"There are a lot of susceptible individuals," he said.
Ontario boosting hospital capacity
Stall said the analysis should be sobering, for both decision-makers in the Ontario government and the public — though he acknowledged the mixture of pandemic fatigue and vaccine euphoria facing many residents may make it hard to comprehend what's in store in the weeks ahead.
So will Ontario follow B.C.'s lead and implement a large-scale lockdown? Or a stay-at-home order like the province was under after cases kept spiking following the heightened restrictions put in place last December?
Alexandra Hilkene, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, said health officials will continue to "review the data and trends" but did not share any plans for future restrictions.
She also noted the province's hospital investments, including up to $125 million to expand critical care capacity. Work is happening to add over 500 critical care and high intensity medicine beds to hospitals in areas with high rates of transmission, she said, plus two potential field hospitals, one that could be available in early April at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, with early site work happening in Hamilton as well.
"Ontario Health and the Ontario Critical Care COVID Command Table continue to work with our hospitals to transfer patients from hospitals who are at capacity to other sites to ensure no capacity goes untapped," she continued.
Experts who are ringing alarms warn boosting capacity and shuffling patients around won't stop people from falling ill in the first place.
"We should not hope for miracles," Juni said. "They're not coming ... vaccines will work much better when we start to control the growth we have now, otherwise the force of infection will be too high."
'Significant delays' until impact is clear
According to the briefing note, "there will be significant delays until the full burden to the health-care system becomes apparent," because the increased risk of COVID-19 hospitalization, ICU admission and death after infection is most pronounced 14 to 28 days after diagnosis.
Other non-COVID-19 procedures and appointments could be delayed, Stall noted, adding to a sky-high backlog that's been prompting concerns over delayed treatments and missed diagnoses for the last year.
Now, much of what's to come is already set-in-stone, Juni warned. But he stressed a light at the end of the tunnel does remain — and there's still a chance to prevent future deaths through a combination of policy and individual action.
For the government, he said, that should mean a complete lockdown of all indoor spaces, given the higher transmission risk. For Ontarians, he stressed the need for strict adherence to public health precautions while relying on the warming weather to spend time outside, where the risks of getting infected are lower.
"It's important now that everybody just wakes up and comes out of denial," Juni said.

Federal workers make more than a quarter less than private sector employees doing similar jobs, according to a recent study.
Federal employees make 26.3 percent less than private sector workers on average, a recent study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics found, cited by the Washington Post. The figures were compiled for the Federal Salary Council, a group made up of union representatives, federal officials and other wage experts. One member of the council says the widening gap is largely a result of the federal employee pay freeze that President Obama's administration announced last year.
Despite the BLS findings, the debate over whether public or private sector workers make more money likely won't be put to rest any time soon. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, found that public sector worker wages exceeded private sector pay by 22 percent, another article by The Washington Post notes. USA Today also found that wages for public sector workers was higher than those for private sector workers in 83 percent of similar occupations, according to an analysis the paper published last year.
But there is also some evidence backing the BLS's findings. According to a study from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute public sector employees are underpaid by 3.7 percent, compared to those in the private sector.
There have been a few notorious examples of high public sector worker pay that have stoked criticism against public sector wages. One California prison nurse took home $270,000 in income, mostly due to over time pay, Bloomberg recently reported. California lifeguards also took home paychecks in the six figure range. In addition, the head parole psychiatrist for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation received nearly one million dollars in compensation last year, according to LA Weekly.
As a result, many conservatives have been pushing for more public sector layoffs and job cuts as a way to pare down budget gaps, even though the economic slowdown has forced governments to slash jobs. About 24,000 public sector jobs were lost last month, offsetting the 104,000 private sector job gains. The losses aren't new either: Since the beginning of 2010 the government has cut an average of 23,000 jobs per month or 509,000 total .
Despite the grim outlook, it seems public employees still count themselves better off. A July poll by Gallup-Healthways found that public sector employees had a better sense of well-being than those in the private sector.
Private sector employees may be more pessimistic because their wages have been slow to increase. While good news may be on the way for some low-wage employees as the minimum wage set to increase in four states next year, recent wage growth has been marginal in the private sector, barely keeping pace with rising cost of living. Last quarter, income levels for private sector employees in 20 major cities increased by just 0.4 percent when not accounting for inflation, according to wage tracker Payscale.com.

Bitcoin trading is alive and well in Russia.
For years, traders and crypto enthusiasts in Russia have had to deal with the regulatory uncertainty and conflicting statements from the nation's lawmakers.
Yet, despite these problems, Bitcoin trading has not only survived in Russia—it's growing, according to data from peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange Paxful. Over the last year, the firm reports a 350% increase in usage of its platform in the Eastern European nation.
Ever since the start of the coronavirus pandemic outbreak in March, Paxful has experienced month over month all-time highs in new user registrations on its exchange, the company said in a statement.
What's more, beyond COVID-19 and the ensuing economic turmoil around the world, a recent legal clarification that favored Bitcoin hodlers and traders in Russia may set the stage for even more activity in the region.
On July 24, and after several months of discussion, the Russian Duma finally passed the new "Law on Financial Assets." The law ruled out criminalizing cryptocurrency, which some industry observers expected, giving cryptos legal status but banning their use in commerce as payment solutions.
"Crisis aside, Russia has always had a monolithic banking system that is dominated by a few players, and the sentiment we get is that Russians are increasingly looking to find alternative ways to grow their earnings and participate in the financial markets," said Anton Kozlov, Paxful's Manager for the Russian market, in a statement.
"Bitcoin within the P2P context allows them much more freedom to do so—and our data is proving it," he said.
Paxful's growth is a sign of its emerging status in the P2P scene, but it still has a ways to go before catching up to the market leader in the region, LocalBitcoins. Russia is the largest peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading market in Europe, but almost all volume moves through LocalBitcoins.
According to data from Useful Tulips, while Paxful closed the month with just under half a million dollars in trading volume, Finland's LocalBitcoins recorded over $31 million.
The gap may be large, but it's not impossible for the US-based platform to close. Paxful has already established itself as the P2P platform of choice in Africa, and is rapidly closing in on LocalBitcoins in Latin America.

Prismic.io: responsive images inside a StructuredText
Once again, I will not explain what prismic.io is (but it's a tool to manage your website content), I will only focus on one limitation and how to solve it. If you don't know about prismic.io, you should quickly check its website before reading any further.
What's the problem?
In prismic.io, you are creating Documents which are composed of Fragments. A fragment is data organized in a more or less semantic way. For example, a fragment can be a Number, or a Date, … Among them, there is the type Image which is really nice because you can not only fully resize / crop your raw picture, but also add smaller images based on the original one for responsive purpose. You can upload your awesome photo of this beautiful sunset, fully sized at 4000 x 3000 pixels, resize it for desktop at 1920 x 1080, and finally add a mobile version at 320 * 480. Note that the last one doesn't respect the ratio at all, but that's the goal: you are creating a subset of your image with the best match possible regarding the targeted screen.
Another really powerful fragment in prismic is the StructuredText. It allows you to have a nice WYSIWYG editor inside which you will put new fragments (paragraphs, links, titles, images, …). It would be perfect if the image fragment inside a StructuredText was a real Image fragment, but it is not. You cannot specify any thumbnail. Meaning your content cannot be responsive at all. Your choice is: consume all the bandwith for mobiles with awesome full HD images or make the eyes of your desktop users bleed with super compressed images.
You don't want to do that!
And me neither! I want to have responsive images inside my StructuredText for God sake. I love tools which make my life easier, but they never should stand on my way to craft the best website possible. I will not lie to you, I couldn't find any solution that integrates nicely with the WYSIWYG editor since there is no way to extend it. The following solution will be a bit of hacking and your writers might complain about it at first.
So, what's the idea? The only way to have responsive images is to use a real Image fragment, no choice here. So let's create one, and let's put it inside a Group fragment. This way, you can add and remove as many images as you want and they will all be responsive. Wait, you can't do that inside the StructuredText, right? Indeed, that's why we will do outside of it and then find a way to bring back the images inside of it. Here is the mask for such a group:
Pro Tip - When creating thumbnails for an Image fragment, the offical documentation states that both width and height are mandatory. This is wrong, you can specify only one of the two or even none of them. Your UI might be a bit ugly (the resized thumbnails will only display after saving your draft) and sometimes you will have to click twice on a button (this one, I really don't understand) but otherwise, it works just fine. I hope prismic guys will make those attributes optional because… well… how can you anticipate how the writer wants to resize its image?
As you can see, I added two more fields. One is
name and we will use it to reference our images inside the StructuredText. The other one is
caption, that's because I want to put one on my images but prismic didn't allow me to do that at all by default. Thanks God, using this solution, I can finally do it, killing two birds with one stone. Now we can add as many responsive images as we want, yeah! Let's grab some orange juice to celebrate!
Let's hack some HTML
As I already said it, the next step will be to bring those images inside the StructuredText. We cannot do that directly inside the WYSIWYG editor but we can do it when rendering the final HTML. We will need two more things here:
- having a placeholder inside the StructuredText to indicate we should insert an image
- extend the default HTML renderer to support such placeholder
As for the placeholder, I decided to use a simple format like
{image-[name of the image]}. Meaning that if the content of a paragraph inside my StructuredText is
{image-sunset}, it will actually render the image named
sunset from the group of images when generating the final HTML. Pretty easy right? Your writers might find it ugly, having to write those strange tags, and not seeing their images directly inside the StructuredText, but just tell them that's for the greater good. You could, of course, use another syntax, eventually support attributes, whatever.
The final task, and probably the hardest one, is to extend the HTML rendering system. Each primisc fragment has its own way to render as HTML. Unfortunately, there is no way to extend it, you can only, eventually, override it. And the one for StructuredText is by far the most complex one. The easiest way to do that is to copy/paste the default one from the kit you are using (if you are not using any kit, you are free to do whatever you want, so it's fine) and edit it. You will then edit the part responsible for rendering a paragraph, test if its content match our placeholder syntax, if so, render an image, if not, just render the text as it is. Since I'm using the JavaScript kit, here is the full copy/paste but that's the important part where we are rendering the image. My
model is actually a JavaScript class extracted from the original prismic Document, but you could use the raw Document of course.
Conclusion and limitations
That's pretty much it. Here is a quick summary of what to do:
- inside the mask, add a Group of Images with, at least, a Text fragment for the name.
- choose a naming convention to write placeholders inside a StructuredText, ex:
- override the StructuredText HTML rendering function with a custom one inserting images from the Document when finding a placeholder
- you can add more attributes and render them (like a caption)
What are the bad points / limitations of the solution?
- writers need to write placeholders rather than having a nice UI to insert images
- images do not display natively in the WYSIWYG editor anymore
- you cannot re-order a Group fragment right now, meaning images will be sorted based on their created date and not on their place inside the StructuredText

Unfortunately, there are limited reflections on the theme of baptism among Christian preachers and teachers from year to year. There are more pieces of literature, sermons, and talks on prosperity and healing than on baptism, which is the gateway to the Christian life. We all know that it is impossible to become a Christian without receiving the sacrament of baptism; in fact, baptism makes us Christians, children of God and members of the Church.
Today, the Church celebrates the feast of the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ. It would be fitting to ask why our Lord went to John for baptism because the baptism of John was that of repentance for the forgiveness of sin (Luke 3:3; Acts 19:4); and the scriptures tell us that our Lord Jesus Christ is the sinless one (Hebrew 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22; 1 John 3:5).
In the Gospel Reading today (Matthew 3:13-17), John the Baptist identifies with the same confusion as to why the sinless one comes to him for baptism; "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?" Our Lord answers John and says, "Allow it now, for thus, it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness." The next question would be, "what is this righteousness?"
It would fit for us to understand that righteousness here means what is appropriate or necessary. But why is it appropriate or necessary for the sinless one to receive the baptism of repentance? Our Lord comes to John's baptism to show the importance of baptism, to sanctify the water of baptism and also to baptize John the baptizer through his desire to receive baptism from the Lord, remember he said, "I need to be baptized by you."
The Power of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism
The water of baptism derives its power and efficacy through the impartation of the Holy Spirit. All the Readings today tell us about the action of the Holy Spirit in connection with baptism. The First Reading (Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7) gives us the exact words of God the Father during the Baptism of our Lord while adding the active presence of the Holy Spirit; "here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit."
The Second Reading (Acts 10:34-38), presents a section of Peter's sermon in the house of Cornelius before administering the sacrament of baptism on him and his household. Peter recalled that after receiving the baptism that John preached, God anointed our Lord Jesus Christ with Holy Spirit and power.
The Gospel Reading (Matt. 3:13-17), presents the scene of the baptism of the Lord. The most intriguing part of the narrative was when our Lord came up from the water after John's baptism. We learn that the heavens opened FOR HIM, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. Then, also comes the voice of God the Father saying, "this is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased ."
Moving Forward: Activating our baptismal Impartation
Baptism typically inaugurates our Christian life. It is also essential to note that Christian life is impossible without the active and functional presence of the Holy Spirit who helps us in our weakness (Romans 8:26). It is little wonder then that our Lord Jesus Christ instructed his disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they receive the power from on high; the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5).
When we receive the sacrament of baptism in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19), we at the same time receive a special seal of authority as children of God with the ability to trample upon all the powers of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
As baptized Christians, we carry within us the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul says that we have the Spirit of God in us (Romans 8:9). St. Peter (1Peter 2:9) has this to say about the identity of the baptized:
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Through our baptism, we become like commissioned combatants with all the arsenals to conquer the formations and fortresses of the enemy. However, we have more privileges than the conventional combatants because our weapon of warfare is not carnal (2 Cor. 10:4); furthermore, we only need to make ourselves prayerfully available as God will do the fighting for us (Exodus 14:14; Deuteronomy 3:22).
As we celebrate the feast of the baptism of the Lord, we are invited to rethink and relive our baptism in our lives as Christians. As the heavens were opened for our Lord as he stepped out from the Jordan, in the same way, our baptism has opened up the heavens for us and through that portal, the Holy Spirit is continuously poured on us to give us the right directions in our Christian journey.
Furthermore, the voice of the Father speaks to us His beloved ones through the Word of God and the voice of God in our hearts. As the beloved sons and daughters of our heavenly Father, may the voice of the Father speak into our lives and bring that transformation that would take us to the next level of divine grace and sustenance. Have a beautiful celebration and a glorious week ahead.
Fr. Bonnie.

Breakthrough in NY rail strike
Labor and management in the six-week Metro-North commuter railroad strike decided it would be better to arbitrate contract differences than to risk government intervention.
The result is expected to be a resumption of train service today for 90,000 New York area passengers, reports Monitor labor correspondent Ed Townsend. Late last week, federal intervention appeared imminent in the contract dispute between the Metropolitan Transporation Authority, parent agency of Metro-North, and the United Transportation Union. At the urging of the New York and Connecticut congressional delegations, the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee opened hearings on legislation to require arbitaration of the dispute.
The move could have opened up a full-fledged campaign for broader antistrike laws. But the parties moved quickly to announce plans to submit differences to binding arbitration, in which both agree to accept the terms of a team of arbitrators. Both sides made significant concessions. One union local quickly approved the plan. The second local involved was expected to do so in time for trains to run again Monday.
Union and commuter line officials said they hoped passengers would be back. Because of rumblings that many would not be, Metro-North said no fares would be collected the first day and that other concessions will be made to regular commuters.

So, shortly after the New Year, the children of friends and co-workers (and also my niece!) will sell Girl Scout cookies.
I spent years as a Girl Scout and attended Girl Scout camp many summers. However, I did all of this long before we all had social media. So if I'm mistaken about the social media guidelines, please reach out and let me know. I'll even add you to my newsletter mailing list!
For the record, one of the Girl Scout troops that I joined had a bake sale fundraiser which we didn't report to our local council so that we wouldn't have to receive approval OR share our "profits" with them. Since we didn't have social media or access to the internet, and since we lived over an hour's drive away from our council headquarters, we got away with this.
I have a ton of happy memories about being a Girl Scout. So, thank you, thank you, thank you to all of my former Girl Scout leaders.
Also, thank you to the ghost of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA.
I used to own a Girl Scout handbook that included a short biography of Juliette Gordon Low.
The biography mentioned that Low permanently lost part of her hearing on her wedding day. This happened after a wedding guest threw rice at her and the rice got stuck in her ear. The biography also mentioned that she was born right before the Civil War to a Yankee mother and a Confederate soldier father.
This biography left out Low's family connection to a "massacre"/ "battle" on the site of present-day Chicago and the scandal in her own marriage. Here's a short history about all of that:
So, when I was a kid, I didn't realize that Girl Scout founder Low came from arguably one of the most elite families in the United States. Low's mother grew up in a wealthy family that settled in Connecticut in the 1600's. Low's father inherited Georgia cotton and railroad money. Low married the son of Andrew Low II, one of the richest men in Savannah in the 1800's. Low's Georgia family owned slaves up until the Civil War. Yeah, my old Girl Scout handbook didn't talk about this.
So let me start with Juliette Magill Kinzie. She became Juliette Gordon Low's maternal grandmother. She grew up in Connecticut as Juliette Magill and married John H. Kinzie, the son of fur trader John Kinzie.
Juliette Magill Kinzie's future in-laws ran their fur trade business on the Great Lakes. In fact, in 1812 the Kinzies actually ran their trading operations across the Chicago River from Fort Dearborn. This local area sits on the shore of Lake Michigan. Do you know what we now call the section of the Chicago River that meets with Lake Michigan? Chicago. We now call that place Chicago.
The Kinzie family in 1812 identified as Canadians, not as United States citizens. This is important.
During this time period, the white American settlers attempted to settle further and further west. Various Native American communities attempted to stop them. Almost all of us learned about a watered-down version of this in school.
In 1812, the young United States and Great Britain entered into a war with each other that we now call the War of 1812. Great Britain and its Native American allies took Fort Mackinac in Michigan from the United States. This fort sat on the Straits of Mackinac, which connect Lake Michigan with Lake Huron. So, once the United States lost Fort Mackinac, they had no way to send supplies or extra troops to any U.S. holdings on the shores of Lake Michigan.
The U.S. forces evacuated Fort Dearborn. However, during the evacuation, Native Americans ambushed the evacuating soldiers and civilians. Dozens of soldiers and civilians, including children, died.
Here's an article from Chicago Magazine, published Jan. 4, 2010, that I really enjoyed about this: The True Story of the Deadly Encounter at Fort Dearborn, by Geoffrey Johnson. You can also read about this on Wikipedia. I'm not going to blog too much about it here because this blog post is supposed to be about the Girl Scouts.
One of the things that I learned from this above-linked article is that for decades after this event, the public referred to it as the "Massacre at Fort Dearborn." Native American advocates pointed out that, generally, incidents which resulted in defeat for white settlers were commonly referred to as "massacres" while engagements that resulted in defeat for indigenous peoples were referred to as "battles." Many sources no longer refer to the Fort Dearborn incident as a massacre. Wikipedia calls this the "Battle of Fort Dearborn."
When I visited Chicago a few summers ago, I stood on the sidewalk marking that commemorated the actual site of Fort Dearborn. I stood at the site of Fort Dearborn and I looked across the river at Chicago's own Trump International Hotel and Tower.
So, Girl Scouts of the USA founder Juliette Gordon Low's Canadian Kinzie ancestors ran a trading post along the Chicago River, very close to where the Trump high-rise now sits.
The Kinzie clan didn't die in the Battle of Fort Dearborn in 1812. In fact, Juliette Migill Kinzie's mother-in-law safely evacuated before the attack started. Remember, they were Canadians and they had relationships with the local Native Americans.
Since John H. Kinzie survived the Battle of Fort Dearborn in 1812, he could marry Juliette Magill from Connecticut in 1830. Juliette Magill had a relatively elite education for her day. So, she could read and write. Which she did.
Juliette Magill Kinzie moved to the Midwest with her husband and then she wrote several books.
She wrote about her Kinzie in-laws' experiences during the Battle of Fort Dearborn. Juliette Magill Kinzie's writings became a well-known source of information about the battle. Critics maintained that she wrote about the event from her in-law's point of view and therefore made the Kinzie family out as the "heroes" of the event. Again, read this article from Chicago Magazine. It gives some good insights about the controversy around Juliette Magill Kinzie's work.
Juliette Magill Kinzie and her husband John had seven children. Four of their sons served in the United States Army during the Civil War.
The Kinzies' daughter Eleanor married William Gordon II of Savannah, Georgia. Gordon and his relatives served with the Confederate Army during the Civil War. William Gordon was the son of a politician and railroad president. He worked as a cotton and rice broker. You can read on Wikipedia all about the Gordon family's prominence in Georgia in the 1800's.
William Gordon II and Eleanor Kinzie Gordon had a daughter in 1860 that they named Juliette. Little Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon. The Civil War started a few months later.
In 1886, Juliette Gordon married William Low. I learned in a Eugenia Price historical novel and also from this website that William Low was the son of Andrew Low, a Scottish immigrant who became one of the richest men in Savannah.
Juliette Gordon Low's husband had affairs and then asked her for a divorce.
She moved on and started the Girl Scouts of the USA.
The United States posthumously issued a postage stamp in Juliette Gordon Low's honor and also awarded her a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Low's supporters worked have to her birthplace listed as a National Historic Landmark.
I don't know what kind of legacy William Low left behind because he doesn't actually have his own page on Wikipedia.
Here's what I learned from reading about the Kinzie and Gordon families: Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA, came from wealth and incredible privilege. She came from a family fortune built on the exploitation of non-white people.
(Also, John Kinzie was credited with having committed the very first murder in Chicago's history.)
We can't forget any of this.
But Juliette Gordon Low also came from people who survived things. The Kinzies survived the Battle of Fort Dearborn in 1812. The Kinzies and the Gordons survived the Civil War. She herself survived a Victorian Era divorce from a prominent husband.
What did you survive?

Dear Daddy,
My marriage will be for your Kingdom.
Your daughter,
I wrote the above in my journal last year.
It had been a year where I thought I heard God say I would be married. I wasn't thinking it..He said it but why didn't it happen?
I was stuck between still believing and just ignoring God.
One night we had a study on @twtwnigeria on prayer using Hannah as a case study and the deal on Hannah finally knowing what Samuel was meant for stuck to my heart.
She had to wait for her promised son till the day she finally said you know what God? Give me this son and I will give Him back to you!
I had been writing about marriage being for God's kingdom and somewhere in my heart knew that my own will be for God's glory but I had never had that deliberate covenant with God.
That morning in Ekiti I lay down finally understanding the weight of what God was asking of me. I wept as I dedicated my marriage to His Kingdom. Something died in me and has remained dead to this day.
Today in the Christian world we have too many messages that focus on the couples as the object of their marriage.
We want to get married to satisfy our needs. Our wants and none of the Kingdom's need!
How many couples in courtship actually sit, discuss and seek God about what their union is meant to achieve in the kingdom of God?
Francis Chan in his message "marriage in the light of eternity" talks about how many good marriages are actually worthless to the kingdom of God. They look cute, have cute children but are actually far away from what God intended for their marriage.
How many couples will get to heaven and heaven will actually rejoice and say indeed you chased ten thousand??
Or were you chasing just your happiness?
How do we bring Christian couples back to placing the kingdom first as the reason for their union?
The mindset of your marriage being for God's Kingdom doesn't start from the marriage itself; it starts from singlehood. And more often than not, we miss it because we didn't lay the foundation of God in our mindset while single. Instead sometimes we are consumed about what we need in a man.. in our children.. etc.
What covenant have you made concerning your marriage with God?
Even as you are single right now, have you come to the place where you have decided that "God when you are looking for a marriage that will show you to others, use mine"…
Sometimes you look at Christian marriages and all you see is them.
Why is the only thing people see you?
Why are you the only person that sticks to an outsider when they look at your marriage?
Why can't they see God in you? Why are you leading people to you and not God with your union?
Are you still looking to fulfill your needs or God's needs?
The above is something I was pondering on and shared on Instagram.
Let's examine ourselves. If you are single; what's been your mindset about marriage? Would it be for your needs or for God's needs?
If you are already married, have you been drawn away from what really matters?
What have you and your spouse been concerned about? The kingdom of God or the kingdom of yourselves.
I pray God will help us make the required changes in Jesus name.. amen!
Recommended messaage: Marriage in the light of eternity by Francis and Lisa Chan (the message is on YouTube)

Using big video & image backgrounds for websites was a trend last year and is still one of the biggest trends in web design for 2015. Some could argue that large image and video backgrounds are getting pretty overdone, but that doesn't change the fact that they are on trend. Users are dazzled by imagery, and large, beautiful images can completely set the tone for a site. So i want to showcase some sites using large background images and video in new and unique ways for inspiration.
1 Comments
i am using Wix to create a website for me. it allows you to have a video background. but you have to upload a video file from your PC. now i am trying to take a video embed link from a live stream video and turn it into a video file so it can be used as my background. or is there another way of making that happen ?

Tableau is a business intelligence software program that can connect to any data repository, such as datasets from your databases (e.g MySQL, MongoDB, etc), flat files (Excel, PDF, CSV, etc.), and so on. It helps you view and understand your data, creating visualizations by simply dragging and dropping. It is very important to understand how to modify location on a map before performing a search of a specific location. We'll learn how to do this in Tableau, which can be very helpful when dealing with geospatial datasets of different locations and their subsets—country, state, county, city, and street.
In this guide, we will explore how to search for a specific location on a map in Tableau through the following steps:
First, we begin by downloading a sample dataset with locations.
Then, we connect our datasets to Tableau.
We create maps using Show Me.
We search for a specific location on the map.
Open the datasets link on your web browser and click on Public Housing Physical Inspection Scores to download the dataset used in this lesson, as shown below.
Please note that you can use any dataset with geocoordinates.
Step 1: Open Tableau.
Step 2: Go to the Connect pane and click on Microsoft Excel.
Step 3: Locate your dataset and load it into Tableau.
You should see the below image if it successfully loaded:
Step 4: Then, click on Sheet 1 to proceed.
Step 1: Select County Name from the Dimension Pane.
Step 2: Click on Maps in the Show Me panel. Allow it to load the maps.
Step 3: Drag County Name from Dimension to Color in the Marks panel.
Next, you can edit locations on the map, including correcting unknown locations.
Step 1: Click on the unknown location.
Step 2: Click on Edit Locations.
Step 3: You can either fill in the appropriate country, state, and county, or you can Google the geocoordinates of the location, as we did below:
Step 4: Fill in the appropriate latitude and longitude coordinates and click OK.
To locate your added location, click on it in the legend.
Please note, you can also filter the data or use a default position based on your requirements. See the below images for examples:
Step 1: Click on the search symbol.
Step 2: Input the location to search.
Step 3: Click on the desired location from the list. In this example, I select "Adair County, Iowa."
When Tableau is used efficiently, it can be a very powerful business intelligence tool. Tableau can be connected to different types of files and is easy to use, unlike some other business intelligence tools. With Tableau, all you do is click, drag, and drop—it is as simple as that.
