SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for an overhaul of Democrats' political strategy on Saturday, saying the party is "getting crushed" by Republicans in part because they are too timid, often forced to play defense while Republicans "dominate with illusion."
Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas — the territory of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, one of Newsom's chief political foils — Newsom was careful to praise current party leaders like President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
But he said that mantras that may have worked for the party in the past — like Michele Obama's famous quip "when they go low, we go high," — simply don't work today because "that's not the moment we're living in right now."
"These guys are ruthless on the other side," Newsom said. "Where are we? Where are we organizing, bottom up, a compelling alternative narrative? Where are we going on the offense every single day? They're winning right now."
Newsom said that's why — even though he is running for reelection as governor of California — he has been spending some of the millions of dollars in his campaign account on TV ads in Florida urging people to move to California, newspaper ads in Texas decrying the state's gun laws, and putting up billboards in seven states urging women to come to California if they need an abortion.
"There's nothing worse than someone pointing fingers. What are you going to do about it?" Newsom said. "The reason we're doing those ads is because … the Democratic Party needs to be doing more of it."
Of course, the main reason Newsom can do those things is because he faces little pressure at home. Newsom is likely to cruise to a second term as governor of California in November, facing a little-known and underfunded Republican challenger one year after defeating a recall attempt.
Newsom's actions have increased speculation he might be running for president, an idea he has repeatedly denied — doing so again on Saturday in Texas. Asked if he was considering running for president in 2024 or 2028, Newsom said: "No, not happening."
"I cannot say it enough," he said. "I never trust politicians, so I get why you keep asking."
Newsom said that President Joe Biden's first two years in office have been "a master class … on substance and policy." But later, he said good governance, by itself, is not enough to win elections — adding that "otherwise Biden would be at 75% approval." In reality, about 53% of U.S. adults disapprove of Biden, according to the most recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The problem for Democrats, Newsom said, is that they "fall in love so easily" with "the guy or gal on the white horse to come save the day."
"We missed a more important paradigm that leadership is not defined by that person in formal authority, it's defined by people with moral authority every single day," he said.
Newsom's aggressiveness could end up helping Abbott, who is locked in a more competitive race with former Congressman Beto O'Rourke. Kenneth Grasso, a political science professor at Texas State University, said there has been concern among some in the Republican Party that Abbott is "not conservative enough." Newsom's attacks against Abbott "only helps him with those people," Grasso said.
"If you stress that they're right-wingers, you call them extremists, using that kind of language, all you are going to do is enhance their popularity in their own base," he said.
Despite that risk, Texas Democrats seem to be welcoming Newsom's attention.
"I like this guy," Texas Democratic Party chair Gilberto Hinojosa said of Newsom. "I like the way he's showing the contrast between what y'all do in California and what the narrow-minded, extremist positions that occur here in the state of Texas."
The Republican Party of Texas did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Insuring a car with a salvage title – video
Insuring a car with a salvage title isn't as easy as insuring other vehicles because its condition (and value) can be challenging to assess. This article will share how salvage title vehicles differ from vehicles with a clean title & how calling Answer Financial may be a real time-saver when trying to get insurance quotes for a vehicle with a salvage title.
What's the Problem with Salvaged Titles?
Unfortunately, because salvage titles vary so greatly from one state to the next, the condition of a car with a salvage title is somewhat of a mystery. Some states require these cars to be completely repaired and thoroughly inspected before they're street legal again. Others allow for shoddy work or no work at all.
To make matters worse, in some states, people can clear a title by having repairs done or passing a basic inspection. People buy these cars not realizing the problems they'll encounter trying to insure them later on. By checking the history of a car's title through services like CARFAX or AutoCheck, or by running a check of your own through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, you can determine whether you're purchasing a vehicle that has ever had a salvage title, along with information on the reason why.
Denied, Overcharged and Underinsured
From a business point of view, it's a legitimate concern for an auto insurance company to insure a vehicle it has previously declared a total loss. A totaled car is determined to be more costly to repair then to replace. This is a decision owners often fight because of loss in value and hassles involved in selling, financing or insuring the car later on.
Some insurance companies will agree to cover a vehicle with a salvaged title, but it comes at a steep cost. Often the rates will be higher and that negates the potential savings of buying a salvage title vehicle vs one that has a clean title. Furthermore, in many cases the insurance companies will offer liability-only policies that do not cover physical damage to the salvaged vehicle. In most circumstances, the cost of these policies just isn't worth it, but there's no need for despair.
A small selection of insurance companies will consider comprehensive insurance policies for cars with salvaged titles once the owners prove their autos are safe and valuable. A thorough assessment performed by an ASE-certified mechanic is an easy way to do that.
Do you have a salvage title vehicle? Instead of calling endless insurance carriers, call us at 1-866-635-7777. We are one of the largest online auto and home insurance agencies in the U.S., representing many of the nation's top-rated insurance companies.

The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday ruled that it would not grant a stay to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) without hearing the Centre and said it might set the cases challenging the validity of the Act before a larger Constitutional bench. A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde is hearing a batch of 143 pleas challenging the validity of CAA.
A three-judge bench of Chief Justice Bobde, Justice S Abdul Nazeer and Justice Sanjiv Khanna heard the pleas and announced that it will consider hearing pleas related to Assam and Tripura separately, giving the Centre two weeks to file its replies in cases relating to the two states and four weeks for all other CAA-related pleas.
The court has also asked the high courts not to entertain any pleas on CAA until the apex court finishes deciding the matter.
Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav tweeted his reaction to Wednesday's verdict.
"Routine hearing, another 4 weeks. No stay or even postponement of CAA. This SC is at best a reluctant warrior in the battle to defend letter, spirit & soul of the constitution. We the People of India must continue the movement to save the Constitution that we gave to ourselves. Nothing wrong with the order. Nothing wrong in giving time to file reply. Nothing wrong in forming a constitutional bench or taking up interim relief after 4 weeks. But is this what you expect of a court tasked with defending the constitution in the face of this onslaught?" he wrote.
Indian Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday had asserted that he was not willing to reconsider the CAA or to modify it in any way despite worldwide protests. This prompted a stinging tweet from Congress leader Sanjay Jha.
Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress announced on Tuesday that it was bringing a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly on January 27, becoming the third state after Kerala and Punjab to oppose the contentious law.
Meeting on CAA in the UK
A group of Opposition MPs in the United Kingdom organised a meeting in the House of Commons complex and discussed the implications of the CAA and its impact on NRIs.
The event, hosted by east London Labour MP Stephen Timms, also covered aspects of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) and expressed solidarity with the numerous protests by diaspora groups over the past few months in the UK.
Timms said that he has written to the UK Foreign Office and the Indian High Commission expressing his concern about the human rights implications of the CAA.
"I have been struck by the diversity of the people who are protesting against these measures in India in my constituency. Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs are all coming together," he said.

let's focus on 2020 and reset your hair
New year, new you! After making it through a harried holiday season, it's time to release (woooosaaaa!), relax and rejuvenate your mind, body, soul and yep, even your hair. A new year calls for getting rid of old habits and breaking in new ones and obviously we think your hair should be in on this action.
Here are some of the top DO's and DON'Ts to keeping your hair looking awesome this year:
DO press the detox button on your scalp
Hopefully, all of those holiday hair styling sessions haven't placed too much havoc on the scalp (because healthy scalp = healthy hair). The start of a new year is the perfect time to create a clean scalp slate. Start by applying our reset pink charcoal scalp cleansing oil to dry, unwashed hair. This oil-to-foam wonder contains French Pink Clay and Charcoal to absorb unwanted dirt, toxins and pollutants from the scalp; Indian Cress, Sunflower Oil and Sea Buckthorn Oil to promote antioxidants, encourage oxygen flow and provide moisture. Follow up by gently massaging in the reset exfoliating jelly shampoo. It's got some of the same ingredients at the reset pink charcoal scalp cleansing oil (i.e. French Pink Clay and Charcoal and Indian Cress) as well as sea salt to purify and salicylic acid to exfoliate the scalp. And, for those days when you're strapped for time, use the phantom hydrating dry shampoo foam – a cleansing foam that zaps dirt, oil and product buildup on the scalp for a hydrating and refreshed feel.
DON'T apply heat to your hair without first protecting it
Leave the heat damage in the past. Yes, it's an extra step, but honestly using heat protectant before heat styling your hair is probably the best way to minimize damage. That's because heat protectant adds moisture and creates a protective barrier around the cuticle to prevent damage while adding shine. The blockade heat defense serum is heavy enough to protect the hair from heat, yet light enough not to weigh it down.
DO schedule regular trims
If your hair is starting to look a little lackluster (i.e. devoid of shine) and dry, then it's probably time to get your ends trimmed. Split ends happen when the hair cuticle becomes damaged and begins to wear off exposing the delicate inner layer which easily becomes weakened. Getting regular trims every two to three months helps to keep split ends at bay and, in turn, will ensure it looks its healthiest best.
DON'T forget to use a deep conditioner
Yes, you might be using conditioner during your hair washing day sessions, but step it up a notch and start infusing strands with deep conditioning sessions. Why is this important? Because deep conditioners (versus your regular conditioner) contain ingredients specially formulated to provide a thorough conditioning of the hair. While it's up to you as to when you want to do it (we suggest at least once every two weeks), deep conditioners will work to protect hair from unwanted damage and keep your strands looking and feeling its best. To strengthen hair from the inside out, try our soulfood nourishing mask and to revitalize damaged hair, use the kure intense repair mask.
Keep an eye out for something we have coming soon: We may or may not have created two new products that will soon be added to our detox collection. Stay tuned for these new launches on the horizon that will help your hair reset and find balance.

The following are stories of RCIF borrowers who have paid their loans in full and continue to operate successfully.
San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund
The San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund's (HTF) mission is to increase the affordable housing supply for residents with very low to moderate incomes, and those with special needs. The statistics alone reveal HTF's positive impact on the region; two HTF financed rental projects accounted for 30% of all housing starts in the entire county in 2010. These two apartment projects, Hidden Creek Village and the Village at Broad Street, together provide affordable, secure, and energy-efficient homes for 123 households whose monthly incomes range from about $900 to $4,000.
The Women's Shelter Program (WSP) received HTF technical assistance and bridge financing that resulted in the purchase of four units now used as transitional housing. HTF also prevented the eviction of individuals with developmental disabilities living in units that went into foreclosure. At the foreclosure auction, HTF stepped in and provided a short-term loan of over $300K to another nonprofit, Tri-Counties Community Housing Corporation, who won the bid and now own and operate the property. Since 2005 HTF ha made $11.2 million in loans and preserved or created 332 units of affordable housing.
Mission Neighborhood Centers
Since 1959, the Mission Neighborhood Centers, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, with 11 community centers, have provided quality programs that promote self-sufficiency and community growth for San Francisco's children, youth, families and seniors through our Child Development Programs, Youth and Senior Services Programs.
Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. is the product of the vibrant legacy from the personal philanthropic efforts of San Francisco's leading families of the early 20th century and the visionary dedication of the Wolfsohn sisters. Today, well into the second decade of the 21st century, the opportunity exists to honor and rekindle this philanthropic and entrepreneurial spirit of our great-great-grandmothers whose efforts secured a strong foundation for our lively community center that today continues with their vision of empowerment and community building to help newcomer families and their children. Mission Neighborhood Centers has served 380 children in the HeadStart programs, 700 low-income seniors at its two centers and 1,085 youth in its various programs for youth.
Portland YouthBuilders
Part of a network of over 250 YouthBuild programs nationwide, Portland YouthBuilders supports low-income young men and women who are committed to changing their lives to become self-sufficient, contributing members of the workforce and their community. Each year, they provide education, vocational training, and leadership development services for over 200 young people between the ages of 17 and 24 who have not completed high school and who face significant barriers to success. Students attend PYB every weekday, alternating between academic studies and vocational training in either their green construction or computer technology program. All students receive career development skills, leadership development opportunities, and long term support.
RCIF conducted a bus tour in 2011 and many sisters from the sponsoring communities enjoyed learning about the program.
Santa Cruz Credit Union
In 1977 the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union opened its first savings accounts and embarked on what is now over three decades of community service. Santa Cruz Community Credit Union is a nonprofit financial cooperative that promotes economic justice. Serving over 10,000 members the credit union has offices in Santa Cruz and Watsonville. The credit union has won awards for its programs to serve low-income clients including literacy workshops, savings accounts and tax assistance programs.

Writers in San Francisco
San Francisco writers are known for crafting complex works of literary merit that have readers buzzing and eager to debate the meaning of the writer's words. The many local writer resources make all of this possible as the local literary industry works to put writers in contact with the right types of agents and publishers that can help them reach as wide an audience as possible.

Well-connected KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple is working on both updated AirPods and a pair of Apple-branded "high-end over-ear headphones." Kuo says the new over-ear headphones will see a late 2018 release at the soonest. Kuo's remarks came as part of a new research note.
Apple to have own-brand, high-end over-ear headphones with all-new design; to be as convenient as AirPods with better sound quality; shipments to begin 4Q18F at earliest; Primax & SZS will be the key suppliers & will benefit from high ASPs.
We believe that after AirPods and HomePod, Apple's next addition will be high-end over-ear headphones, making its acoustic accessory lineup more complete. Existing suppliers Primax and SZS will be Apple's partners on this new product.
Primax will receive assembly orders on its familiarity with the acoustic business, and SZS is likely to use MIM technology advantages as leverage to become the exclusive or main MIM part supplier.
The new headphones will be priced higher than AirPods and should help boost the business momentum of Primax as the assembly provider.
Kuo's note about new AirPods comes on the heels of a report last week from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman that said the new AirPods should launch sometime this year. Kuo says to expect a second half 2018 launch for the updated wireless earbuds..
We think the main difference of the upgraded AirPods, which won't look much different from current AirPods, will be the wireless charging case and the adoption of an upgraded W1 chip. We believe that the charging case will adopt different processes for the external appearance and to meet thermal requirements from wireless charging, the hinge price will rise 60-80%.
Bloomberg's report also indicated that a second AirPods update, sometime in 2019, would bring water resistance to the wireless earbuds.

I am back from my holiday and I'm pleased to invite you to my 30th Tea Time post!
Now, please come in and I'll pour you a cup of tea. Are you comfortable? I hope you will allow me to regale you with how my love for this pretty pattern first began.
As you know, I adore teapots and teacups; anything related to tea, really.
There are so many lovely patterns out on the market but there is just something about Rose Chintz that makes my heart go pitter-patter like no other! It is called sentiment.
When I got married, I searched high and low for Rose Chintz but could not find it, and to my dismay, I learned they were no longer making it! Then one day, a few years ago, I discovered by accident this lovely china on eBay and I was able to purchase several pieces with the help of my savy computer-skilled son. I felt like I had struck the jackpot! Funny thing is, up until that day, I hadn't even looked on eBay. I hardly knew what eBay was, believe it or not!
I had just given away a whole set of dishes I only used once a year to a worthy cause and I felt like God was rewarding me for doing so. I was so excited!
Shortly afterwards, my auntie sold her home and moved into a condo. How thrilled I was when she gifted me with many more pieces of it; plates, bowls, teapot, coffee pot, and platters!
Since then, I have attained a good collection of it, I'm happy to say. There are still some pieces I don't have but hope to find sooner or later.
How pretty the strawberry shortcake looks in the rimmed bowl; so summery! The presentation of food can look so much better in a pretty dish, don't you agree?
I have a couple of adorable demi-tasses nestled together under glass; gifts from my auntie.
I love square plates, don't you?
Along with the many pieces of Rose Chintz which my auntie gave me were the mugs, perfect for tea, coffee, or chocolate.
Rose Chintz is a pattern produced by Johnson Bros. in England and although they stopped producing the pattern years ago, there are reproductions around today. The originals had a pink or green mark on them such as you see below on this saucer.
A Rose Chintz pitcher, another gift from Auntie P, is good for many things including a vase for pretty flowers!
"A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards." ~ A.A. Milne
Thank you Auntie for gifting me with this beloved china. Everytime I look at it, I think of you. I love you and I am blessed that you are a part of my life!
I haven't added to my Rose Chintz collection for some time now but about a month ago I received an email from someone special.....
One thing I love about Blogland is the wonderful opportunity we have to 'meet' lovely friends. One such friend is Patti @ Fill My Cup.... with Beauty. This sweet lady found a piece of Rose Chintz on one of her treasure hunts, and she wanted to bless me with it. She sent it all the way from her home in the States to me here in Canada, just because! Let me tell you; my hubby was impressed and I feel so blessed that Patti wanted to do this for me! A lovely card accompanied the piece.
How sweet is that and what a lovely thing for Patti to do!
This pretty little fruit nappie arrived a couple of weeks ago, all wrapped up in pink tissue paper and ribbon. I am so happy to be the recipient of such generosity. I really love it! Thank you Patti, I so appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness!
I do hope all you lovely ladies out there will pay my sweet friend a visit at her blog. Patti @ Fill My Cup...with Beauty ~ http://pattiannsblog.blogspot.com/ I just know you will be happy you did!
The scripture I am sharing today is from one of my favourite chapters in the Bible. I felt it appropriate considering all the love which has been lavished upon me.
"Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." ~ 1 Corinthians 13: 13
NOTE: I am nearing 300 followers and when I reach the big 300, I am going to have a little Giveaway which will probably be tea related! Perhaps next week?
UPDATE: I just reached 300 wonderful kindred spirits following my blog! Looks like there will be a Giveaway on the horizon! Stay tuned and thank you everyone!
I am also contemplating the changing of the name of my tea time meme from Tea Time Tuesday to Tea Party Tuesday as some may find it confusing with two of us having the same tea party title. What do you think, should I change it?
Thank you for visiting today. I especially want to thank you all for your lovely comments while I was away. Many of you continued to link up with me even though I was not able to reciprocate. You are wonderful friends and I do love every one of you!
If you are new to my blog and you wish to participate in Tea Time Tuesday, please let me know in your comment. I will gladly add your link to my post; just share a teacup, teapot, or some china used in a tea. You may also do coffee, chocolate, or iced tea. A poem, quote, or scripture verse is also most welcome. Either of the two Tea Time Tuesday buttons near the top of my sidebar are available for you to use in your post if you wish. Please link back to me so that your visitors may find their way here to visit my other lovely participants.
Today I am also linking with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for her Table Top Tuesday and the other tea party hostesses, Martha & Terri, Wanda Lee & Pam, and Lady Katherine.
You will find them all with the stars ** before their names.

New Zealand attack: Suspect donated money to Austrian far right
Written by Millennium on March 27, 2019
Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says there is a link between a far-right movement in his country and the suspect in an attack on two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch in which 50 Muslims were shot dead.
The suspect, a 28-year-old white supremacist identified as Australian-born Brenton Tarrant, donated 1,500 euros ($1,700) to the anti-immigration Identitarian Movement in Austria (IBOe) in early 2018, according to prosecutors.
On Monday, the home of Identitarian Movement spokesman Martin Sellner in Austria's capital, Vienna, was searched as part of an investigation into possible links to the suspect.
"It has been confirmed that there is a financial link between the man who perpetrated the attack in New Zealand and the Identitarian Movement in Austria," Kurz told reporters following a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
He also said the link would be investigated thoroughly and that he had talked to interior and justice ministers about dissolving the far-right Identitarian Movement.READ MORE

"Both ministries will mobilise all their means against this movement," he added.
In a video published on YouTube, Sellner denied having any link with the suspect beyond receiving the donation and having sent back a routine thank-you email.
"I'm not a member of a terrorist organisation. I have nothing to do with this man, other than that I passively received a donation from him," Sellner said.
Austria's intelligence body also said the suspect visited Austria last November.READ MORE
New Zealand mosque attack: Who were the victims?
Kurz stressed that any kind of violent racism would not be tolerated in Austria, adding that perpetrators would be dealt with according to the law.
There is "no tolerance for dangerous ideologies, no matter what political corner they belong to," the conservative leader told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Vienna.
Since late 2017, Austria has been governed by a coalition of Kurz's centre-right People's Party (OeVP) and the far-right, anti-immigration Freedom Party (FPOe).
What is the Identitarian Movement?
The Identitarian Movement is known for its anti-migrant and anti-Muslim stance.READ MORE

It has branches in several Western countries.
It campaigns against immigration and warns against what it calls the "Great Replacement" of local populations by non-Western and Muslim migrants.
The Christchurch attacker, who on March 15 entered the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in the New Zealand city and shot worshippers in cold blood, including four children, also titled his manifesto "The Great Replacement."
In July last year, Sellner and 16 other IBOe members were found not guilty of charges of criminal association and hate speech.
Two of the accused were, however, found guilty on lesser charges over anti-immigration stunts by the group's members, including storming a university lecture hall during a refugee policy talk in 2016.
In March last year, British authorities denied Sellner entry to the UK, saying his presence would not have been "conducive to the public good".

arabesque, ruhi tamer cogal's melting pot collectionname and surname: Ruhi Tamer Cogal course: Fashion Design Menswear · master course · postgraduate school: Milano School of Fashion country: Turkey Born in Turkey in 1981, Ruhi Tamer Cogal has always been interested in Fashion and clothing. For this reason, he gave up an established legal career and moved to Milan in order to attend the one-year intensive course in Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni. Back to Istanbul in 2011, he worked as a junior designer for a menswear company called Damat-Tween. In 2013, he won a scholarship which led him to Italy again, where he completed a Master's programme in Fashion Design Menswear at Istituto Marangoni. Winner of the ISKO Denim 2014 competition, he is currently attending his second Master's programme in Luxury Accessories Design & Management with the School of Design in Milano. Ruhi Tamer Cogal carried out a curricular project that transcends the borders of fashion and expresses a universal, complex mood: the agonizing depiction of love and yearning, in opposition to unrequited love, grief and pain. The project, titled "Arabesque", is a SS 15 menswear collection that outlines the unmistakable style of an emerging talent through a mix of elements and cultures. The capsule collection "Arabesque" is an elegant blend of fabrics, colours, and prints. Loose pants and shorts flow in a play of volumes and contrast with the sculptured look of shirts and T-shirts. The versatile and functional blazers and biker jackets, instead, alternate with more demanding, generous coats. Cotton, jersey, nylon and polyester are the main fabrics used, carefully combined together in such a way to avoid unevenness. Tones of soil colours and grays are strongly used in addition to shades of yellow, green, and salmon, while prints are declined in lighter nuances which give the collection a cosmopolitan touch.

Right at the edge of summer, August 21 National Senior Citizens Day is meant to recognize and acknowledge the contributions of older people to society ! With over two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's even more important these days to notice and celebrate our seniors and anyone involved in senior care from doctors, families, nurses, caregivers, home health aides, and all the admin/staff who have made a difference!
And what could be a better way to celebrate the seniors in your life than providing them with the most personal and round-the-clock care, tailored to meet every individual's needs?! That's where Zemplee's home care solution comes in. We improve senior living by providing passive monitoring services for seniors in any type of residence from nursing homes to houses. Zemplee ensures that someone aging at home is safe and connected to help in case of an emergency.
4 Benefits of Aging at Home
Moving and relocating to a new home, apartment, or room can be stressful and challenging as people get older. Furthermore, it may mean saying goodbye to long-time friends and neighbors. To improve their health outcomes and eliminate the worry and hassle of moving to a new residence, seniors worldwide are deciding to age at home.
Keep reading to learn more about aging at home, including the many benefits.
What does it mean to age at home?
To age at home, also called aging in place, involves seniors living in their homes as they grow older. This living arrangement is an alternative to going to a nursing home or an assisted living community. While these facilities offer several advantages, many seniors prefer living in the comfort of their own residence. There are many benefits to the 'age at home' approach, from greater independence to improved life satisfaction. Also, many seniors actually prefer this way of life. In a recent study from AARP, 77% of adults 50 years of age and older would rather stay in their current living situations for the long term instead of moving somewhere new.
What are the advantages of the age at home approach?
Home is a place of comfort for people around the globe, especially for seniors. If someone leaves home at an old age, this can lead to several health problems.
Take a look at the following benefits of the stay at home approach:
Promotes Independence
Many seniors want to keep their independence as long as possible, whether they reside in a home or a more organized community like a nursing home or assisted living. Across the care spectrum, aging in place with passive remote monitoring helps seniors feel a sense of empowerment as they can continue with their live as an individual knowing there is a security blanket.
Maintains social life
When people move around or stay at home increasingly, they might lose touch with their social network. A lack of social life can be detrimental for anyone, possibly causing depression and other mental health concerns. When seniors age at home, it allows them to stay in their current setting, close to their friends and neighbors. From bingo nights to group dinners, aging in place enables seniors to maintain their current social activities.
Cost savings
The age at home approach can also lead to significant cost savings. In fact, seniors or their families can save thousands of dollars every year. While a senior may need in-home caregiving services, these costs are often much lower than in an assisted living community or nursing home. If seniors are looking to save money and stay comfortable, aging in place could be the answer!
Greater comfort
Nothing compares to someone's home. As assisted living provides opportunities to meet new people and spend time with friends, living at home is more comfortable. From the smell of the residence to the comfort of a mattress, being able to age at home feels like no other.
Age at home with Zemplee!
Zemplee is an innovative product that improves the lives of seniors and their families. Without microphones or cameras, sensors are used to monitor seniors around the home. This AI-powered system tracks certain movements and behaviors, then sends alerts if something doesn't look right.
To age at home with greater comfort and safety, choose Zemplee today!

Dear Colleagues,
After four successful Drama Network Conferences (2004 in Morovany, SK; 2005 in Šlapanice, CZ; 2006 IATEFL INTERACT Vienna, A, and 2007 in Szombathely, H), we are delighted to invite you to join us at the INTERACT CENTROPE 2009 Conference "Integrating Drama in English Language Teaching" in Košice, Slovakia, and offer you the chance to meet friends, colleagues and experts from Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, England, Ireland and abroad.

DrupalCon Vienna 2017 – VLOG 6
DrupalCon Vienna 2017 is this year's European edition of DrupalCon. I traveled to Vienna in Austria to be part of it: not just as an attendee, but as a speaker.
Although I'm a very experienced speaker (I've done 306 presentations in 22 countries), this was my first time as a DrupalCon speaker. I was of course very excited, an very honored.
As usual, I recorded a trip report where I combine the travel, the sights, the conference, and my own presentation.
Have a look at the video of my interpretation of DrupalCon Vienna 2017:

This peer-to-peer networking session will answer your questions about decarbonization
The virtual summit takes place Wednesday, Sept. 27 from 1-3 p.m. ET. fnPrime members can register for free
Facility managers who may have worked on successful LEED for New Construction projects probably already understand the strategy required to achieve a 90.1 or 189.1 performance compliance option: integrated design. LEED, especially in its newest iteration released last year, encourages integrated design by awarding more points for energy efficiency than any other strategy —35 of the possible 100. To be certified at all, a building must be designed to be 10 percent below the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 standard.
Thoughtful window and glazing selection can help facility managers meet LEED certification goals in other ways as well. LEED-NC offers points for strategies that provide building occupants with daylighting and views. The first credit — Indoor Environmental Quality Credit 8.1 — gives facility managers four options for showing that 75 percent of interior space has access to daylighting. From modeling to some pretty intense calculations, the options try to incorporate just about any way possible for facility managers to work with their engineer and architect to make daylighting possible.
The second credit — IEQ Credit 8.2 — gives one point if a building can offer a direct line-of-sight view outside to 90 percent of occupants.
Window selection can play a role in another credit, IEQ Credit 6.1, which deals with controllability of systems for occupant comfort. The credit specifies that operable windows may be used in lieu of controls. The requirements are based on ASHRAE's ventilation standard 62.1.
Finally, facility managers can achieve a point for reducing light pollution. The credit has both interior and exterior requirements for reducing lighting, but one option for achieving the interior portion of the credit — Sustainable Sites 8 — is to use shielding on all envelope openings that have a direct line of site to nonemergency lights. Because using shielding on windows may have implications in product selection and how much daylight enters a building through windows and glazing, facility managers looking to achieve this credit have a lot to consider.

Hi -
It seems like coding how-to resources are limited. Is there a sample code snippet using NSSliders? I've gone though the Apple class description for it and haven't been able to retrieve the slider value. The even is recognized in ObjB but I haven't gotten the slider value back properly.
A sample UI with a bunch of common controls with the code sample would be useful. Way back in the day when I wrote Palm apps in CASL or OrbForms there was such a sample program and it was extremely helpful. Once I get more experience with ObjB, maybe I can put one together to share.
But in the mean time... some example snippets would be helpful

Why? Because politicians are elected to properly manage the affairs of the country, and when government services are poorly managed, then the criticisms of mismanagement are justified.
Every government service is an easy target of the accusation because when compared to the private sector, governments rarely run services as efficiently. But why does it have to be like this? Why can't the government manage public services better?
To be fair, it is not for lack of trying. Three main initiatives are being tried, namely: statutory boards, public sector reform initiatives, and the National Initiative for Service Excellence (NISE). However, without success.
The Statutory Board initiative seemed like a good idea of semi-privatising government services. There was a Board of Directors who managed Executive Officers, who then managed middle managers, who then managed the workers. With so much management, how could it not succeed – but fail it did, and miserably as objectively reported by the Auditor General. That failed experiment was, and continues to be unsustainably costly. The simple lesson that is begging to be learnt is that you cannot reap the fruits of privatisation from the tree of partial privatisation. Our costly field trial has shown us that the only two options are to go all in or fail.
The next good idea was public sector reform. That too has not borne good fruit because the reforms were only superficial – they did not address the cancer slowly destroying the efficiency of the public service. It is not public sector reform that is needed, but public sector surgery – albeit minor
This cancer was introduced in 1974 when the public service was intentionally changed from being a place where people were hired and promoted based on merit, to one based on whether people found favour with the political party in government. The change did not occur overnight, but our public service degraded from being one of the most professional worldwide to one of the most political.
There were many consequences of this change – all of them bad. Public servants were put in the unfair position of having the public wonder whether they achieved their post through demonstrated competence, or whether they were 'sent' because of their political party affiliation. Competent employees can be frustrated when poorly managed by an incompetent 'sent', and incompetent 'sents' being managed by an incompetent 'sent' can result in confusion and abysmal service.
This failed 40-year experiment has taught us an important lesson – if it is not broke, then do not attempt to fix it. Fortunately, by carefully removing the political cancer introduced in 1974, and allowing the public service to return to its professional roots can only benefit the public sector employees, and the general public whom they serve. To continue with this failed experiment is to grow the apathy and frustration felt by public servants who are aware that they work in a poisoned system, where it is unlikely that they will ever be promoted on merit alone
And now we come to the National Initiative for Service Excellence (NISE), a public-private sector initiative that was a bad idea from the start. As we learnt before, it is either all in or failure. NISE had obvious structural defects that prevented it from being successful, and it was explicitly warned about them.
NISE focused on satisfying customers by improving the pleasantness of the employees who interacted with the customers at the point of delivery. The highest international quality management standard is ISO 9001. This standard focuses on satisfying customers by improving the quality of the product, which is done by continually improving the management of how the product is developed and delivered. A few examples should suffice.
a) I do not go to the Town Planning department to have a pleasant conversation with their secretary (NISE approach), but to have my application processed quickly (ISO 9001 approach).
b) I do not go to the bank to have a pleasant conversation with their teller (NISE), but to transact my business accurately and quickly (ISO 9001).
c) I do not go to a car dealership to have a pleasant conversation with their receptionist (NISE), but to have my car serviced properly and promptly (ISO 9001).
That the Private Sector continues to embrace this failed approach after 10 years of incontrovertible evidence, perfectly explains why so many formerly Barbadian owned businesses are now foreign owned, and why Barbadians have generally reverted to the mind-set of aspiring to the highest office of overseer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

After a tip-off from a suspect, this police operation was quickly planned as the two ISIS members were believed to be planning an attack.
Ankara: Turkish police on Sunday killed in Ankara two suspected members of the Islamic State jihadist group believed to have been planning an attack in the capital, the regional governor said.
The two were killed during a police operation on their residence in the Etimesgut district of Ankara after a gunfight with officers, state-run news agency Anadolu quoted regional governor Ercan Topaca as saying.
The raid was launched on the basis of testimony from a suspected Azerbaijani ISIS member who was detained by Istanbul police after allegedly driving the two men to Ankara. "This (police) operation was quickly planned after this suspect said they and the two others he left in Ankara were Daesh (ISIS) members and planning an attack," Topaca said. He said police opened fire after the two suspects themselves fired on the security forces.
After "neutralising" the two men, guns and hand grenades were found, Topaca said. Although the identities and nationalities of the two men have yet to be confirmed, Topaca said they believed they were aged between 25 and 30. "We believe they were planning an attack likely in the next few days. The weapons, explosives were effective and powerful," he said.
During the past 18 months, Turkey has been hit by a wave of attacks blamed on ISIS and Kurdish militants, killing hundreds in cities like Istanbul, Ankara and the southeastern city of Gaziantep.
The raid comes nearly six months after an ISIS gunman killed 39 people in attack on the elite Reina nightclub during New Year celebrations in Istanbul.
The shootout took place as Ankara was hosting a special congress of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) that was set to again choose President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as its chairman. But there was no indication of any link to the congress.
