This is NOT Poverty Tourism
Our Expedition Philosophy
This is NOT poverty tourism
CHOICE Humanitarian is an international development organization whose purpose is to eliminate extreme poverty. We are NOT a travel company, and this is NOT poverty tourism. CHOICE believes in hand-ups, not hand-outs. With over 36 years working in international development, we have learned that for humanitarian expeditions to be sustainable, they MUST be part of a larger, locally driven program that exists long before expeditions arrive and the programs must have commitments from every community that lasts long after the expeditions leave.Read more
INSIDE BOLIVIA: Watercolors by Hadley Rampton
"This past summer, I accompanied CHOICE Humanitarian on an expedition to the Altiplano of Bolivia. Our mission was to assist in the construction of classrooms in the town of Taracollo, home to indigenous Bolivians. Along with my sleeping bag and work clothes, I packed my camera and watercolors supplies. Although I knew I would be giving the majority of my time to the humanitarian work ahead of me, I wanted to record what I could of the village, its people, and my experience in watercolor and ink.

Threads in my Tapestry - Guest Blog Post
When you hear someone say, "I went to Mexico." What comes to mind? Cruise ships. A picturesque vista. Palm trees. Fruity beverages. Oh, and tropical weather. Yes, all the vacation-y things. You typically don't imagine your days south of the border to be serenaded by birds and your freezing cold nights set to the soundtrack of about 1 million dogs.
In this particular case, they were.

There are people in this world that do crazy, unthinkable things to make the world a better place. Elijah is one of those people doing crazy things. He lives in the Silaloni area of Kenya - outside of Mombasa. Kenya is one of the countries where many people live on less than $1.90 a day. Extreme poverty is defined by the World Bank as living on an average of US $1.90 a day or less. Families in these conditions represent well over a billion people on the planet, with nearly double that amount living on less than just $2.50. But, poverty is more than a lack of income. Extreme poverty is multidimensional.
In Youth We Learn - Guest Blog
"In youth we learn" – not only a popular quote but incredibly accurate when it comes to many of the bright young people that support us. Sydney is just such an individual. After returning recently from Mexico on an expedition with ASEA, Sydney developed, and blogged about, five critical findings relevant to anyone no matter their economic standing or education level. She also was quick to recognize that after all the hard work, a woman deserves a refreshing Coke.
Thank you, Sydney, for being our guest blogger this week! Her five critical findings here!

She's So Vein
Loads of nice wrinkles and pulsating blood in her veins visible now. Totally worth the effort to add this detail. Hands are very important and this puppet's wisdom and age are a large part of her character.
I'll next tend to her nails with layers of wood glue for a translucent, shell-like finish.
8 comments:
Looking so good! Sheesh, looked down at my hands while typing, they look pretty similar. (Still waiting for the wisdom.) How flexible are they, can they do gestures or pick up things?ReplyDelete
Thanks sooooo much, Nick! Yes, fully positionable and pick up thingsable. It's stiffer to position than I would like, same for the face. And it is flawed in terms of keeping fleshed out in all positions. I may also have to museum wax or wire/hotglue props into the hand to keep them there during a sequence.ReplyDelete
But they way I'm approaching this is that whatever the puppet can do is what the animation will be limited to. Rather than having a puppet that can do anything lead the direction. Fortunately for me, 1/2L's movement can be very minimal and limited and still do what I hope.
I'm thinking of the scenes as slightly moving illustration for the folktale stories. And I'll probably use a lot more subtle post production manipulation than I had originally gone for.
I like this method of puppet making with the elastic glue and washi build up. I like the results. Will see how it looks in motion. A test may be in order.
So glad you are out there.

I have the same problems. With Esound the Sound Output works but the mic not. Please fix that please
We are migrating towards a new forum system located at community.teamspeak.com, as such this forum will become read-only on January 29, 2020
I have the same problems. With Esound the Sound Output works but the mic not. Please fix that please
I have opensuse 11.2 and no problems at all.
I have test ts3 with quake live 3 hours and ts3 has around 9% cpu load.
Linux linux-v739 126.96.36.199-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
you should also write your sound card and some other things.
For example if you use a sound server.
Maybe you shouldnt run Skype and ts3 on the same time.
Sound Card:
PulseAudio version 0.9.19 is running.Code:*-multimedia description: Audio device product: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1b bus info: [email protected]:00:1b.0 version: 04 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 resources: irq:22 memory:f0500000-f0503fff
Skype is - and this is serious and for me kinda miracle - not the problem.
Same here. It seems to be even worse than TeamSpeak 2, since it doesn't detect any soundcard at all. I managed to get it working with padsp + OSS but with the usual scattering and -of course- non-functional microphone. I had really hoped TS3 wouldn't make the same mistakes again.
(Same (onboard) sound card as siyman)
we are aware of a bug in fmod (the sound playback/capture library we use) that causes
teamspeak to consume 100% cpu and also to hang up at certain places. It basically makes
the client nearly totally unusable in pulse audio.
We have reported this bug to the fmod team, and are waiting on a fix. Once we get our hands
on a fixed version we will ship this along with the next release, so please be patient (or try to
disable your pulse audio) for a while.
Update (3.April 2010)
After concluding that even with modified buffer sizes and with fixes by the pulse audio folks there
is still a problem the FMOD Team has decided to create a pulse audio backend, which is great news.
Not only will it take care of the described problems here, but also it will allow pulse audio users
to use TeamSpeak to its fullest potential since it will not be running in an "alsa emulation" mode

With the dust settling after the announcement of a new era of coalition politics Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a Cabinet that is notable for its absence of black people and women.
Other than Theresa May, who has been appointed Home Secretary, the Cabinet remains resolutely white and male.
Ironically despite a historic number of Black MP's being elected 27 in all none seem to have been as yet considered for Cabinet post. The lack of women is also cause for concern.
For all the talk of a "new era" and a Cabinet that is both "strong and stable" it seems that none of the returned and new cohort of black and women MP's seem to have been considered as suitable for a Cabinet whose declared priority is working together in the national interest. Cameron must ensure that this new Cabinet is at least a diverse as the previous Labour administration.
Of course not all the Cabinet positions have yet to be announced so there remains an opportunity to ensure that a Cabinet that reflects the national interest also reflects the racial and gender diversity of the country.
Whatever faults the previous Government had, great strides in ensuring that Black and women MP's were reflected in the senior levels of Government.
At a time when the country will face huge public spending cuts it is important that the Prime Minister understands that an inclusive democracy for a diverse nation is in the national interest.
Ironically the Tory Party commitment to diversity is in advance of the Lib Dems. They have the unique opportunity to ensure that diversity in relation to race and gender are seen as an important priority and the Tories have a number of MPs that they could now choose from. The Lib Dems however failed to return any MP's of colour and are in the unfortunate position of reducing the general availability of both black and women MP's.
Britain is an increasingly diverse nation and representation at all levels of society including Government is critical to maintain social cohesion and providing much needed role models for under representative communities particular at a time when the nation faces grave economic conditions.
The PM still has an opportunity to ensure that a Cabinet designed to reflect a broader political make up and selected on the basis of the national interest also reflects the entire nation and not one section of it.

GULFPORT — The dispute between city of Gulfport officials and Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann over who controls the harbor in Gulfport is over.
Yesterday, city council members voted to sign an agreement between the city and secretary of state that says Gulfport owns all the dry land at the harbor.
The dispute has been going on for years, and ended up in court, but now all that's over with.
"So the bottom line is today that we've set aside the lawsuit. We've settled it. We have a boundary agreement that establishes historic ownership that Gulfport's always claimed the harbor and the state has acknowledged that ownership," said City Council vice president Rusty Walker.
Another part of the agreement allows the city to continue using the water bottoms for boat slips for the next 65 years without any fees or oversight from the state. Also, the area that includes Jones Park and the entire harbor will continue to be used for public purposes.
The secretary of state has signed the agreement. The city council authorized the mayor to sign it; once that is done, all that remains is for the governor to sign it.
The dispute did not involve city-owned Jones Park, or the private and city-owned property on which a casino is proposed on the harbor's west side.
The city, which has operated the harbor since 1935, sued Hosemann to retain ownership and control in 2011, after he declared his office should hold the water bottoms and surrounding property in trust for the public under state tidelands law. He wanted the city to sign a no-fee lease that gave his office authority to review and sign off on city plans for the harbor and surrounding property.
The city filed the lawsuit rather than sign the agreement. Other Coast localities did sign harbor agreements with Hosemann's office.

Streatley hill is a short and steep climb from the village of Goring on the B4009, heading West. It is used in Reading CC hill climbs and is one of the steepest climbs in the area. It is reached by going through a set of traffic lights on the A329. After a short section of gentle gradient, it becomes steep 12-18% and stays at this gradient for 0.6 km. As you get close to the crest of the hill, the gradient eases off as you reach the summit. The hill climb course uses the steepest 0.8 km, which gives an average gradient of 13%.
Short hill climb course HCC005
The hill climb course starts after the pub car park and misses out the gentler start of the hill. The climb starts at 10%, then picks up to around 15-18%.
- Distance = 0.47 miles (0.75 km)
- Average gradient = 13%
- Max gradient = 18%
- Course record = (around 2.16.9)
- Strava Link to HCC005
Strava – Hill climb course HCC005 TT
It is similar to the Rake, though a little less steep and perhaps 10 seconds quicker. It is a climb for the powerful, explosive hill climber. You have to get a lot out in a short time. It is also similar to the Cat and Bec hill climbs
Course records
(Up to 2017)
- Men – Robert Gough – 2.16.1 (2012)
- Women – Maryka Sennema 3.09.5 (2016)
- Junior men course record – Peter Bissell 2.42
- Tandem Course record – Steward House / Rob Gough – 2.50.9
2020 National Hill climb Championship
Streatley Hill will be the venue for the 2020 national hill climb championship. It will be promoted by Reading CC and will feature closed road. (Facebook page of 2020 event)

Veloviewer – 100 Hill climbs version
Strava – 100 hills version
Streatley is one of the hardest hills in the area, and made S. Warren's 100 Greatest Hill Climbs (24).
Personal notes on Streatley Hill
I've done Streatley hill back in 2004 and 2005 – without any particular distinction. After a long gap, I rode again in 2012. It made good preparation for that year's National hill climb course on the Rake. – which is similar length and gradient. I seem to remember very small field sizes. Perhaps 10-20 riders. Since then hill climbs have become more popular and I would expect a really big entry for the National in 2020.
My 2012 Blog from Reading CC event
The start of the climb went well, but as it got steeper, I felt I went down too many gears. I guess the advantage of riding fixed is that you don't have the temptation to lower gears, you just have to keep going. Anyway, I sprinted for line and felt it was a reasonable effort. A minute later, Robert Gough came through the finish and was obviously exhausted from his effort. He really put everything out to again break the course record, setting a time of 2.16.1. He won £50 AW Cycles voucher. From memory:
- I was second in 2.24.
- Richard Cartland Team Corley was 3rd in 2.27?
- Clare Leaver (Zappi CC) was first lady in about 3.12 (which was also a new course record for women)
- First junior was Jamil Gaida (Rapha CC) in just under 3 minutes.
On the one hand, I was pleased with my time. On the other hand, it's a confirmation that this 'Rake' kind of climb doesn't really suit my strengths.
But, I can still get more out on a climb, and if I remember my lightweight wheels to the nationals, there's definitely a few more seconds to be gained.
Rob Gough's bike
Robert Gough is definitely a tip for a very good placing in the nationals. It is worth bearing in mind that when Jim Henderson (5* nat champ) used to ride this hill he did a time of around 2.21.
Special mention to Stewart House and Reading CC, who continue to organise the event with great enthusiasm. If you fancy a challenge next year, come along – it's all good fun really. There aren't too many hill climbs in the area so it's great to see it continue.
Previous Streatley Hill Climbs
- 2004 – 2.38 – 5th/38
- 2005 – 2.39 – 5th/ 27 winner Rob English 2.21. That year on the Rake I did 2.39 in the national championships. Rob English finished 4th in a time of 2:33.9. It was won in 2.26
- 2006? Maybe rode, can't remember.
- 2012 – 2.24 – 2nd. At least I took 14 seconds off pb.
In 2005, my time on Streatley was exactly the same as my time on the Rake. But Rob English was 12 seconds slower on the Rake.
As a rough guide, Streatley could be anything between 0 and 12 seconds faster than the Rake.

Seeking new RSS member volunteers interested in education
We are looking for new members for both our Education Policy Advisory Group (EPAG) and our Education and Statistical Literacy Committee (ESLC).
Our work in this area is overseen by Sharon Witherspoon MBE FAcSS, our vice president for education and statistical literacy, supported by the EPAG and ESLC.
Sharon says: 'This is an exciting time to contribute to RSS's work. We welcome applications from new volunteers interested in our Education Policy Advisory Group or our Education and Statistical Literacy Committee. Numbers are everywhere and knowing how data are used is key to understanding the world and to developing a strong economy. We believe that through education, everyone should have the opportunity to understand and feel confident to use and interpret data to effectively make evidence-informed choices and decisions.'
RSS Education Policy Advisory Group
We are looking for new volunteers to join the EPAG. A good understanding of education policy is needed, though this could be in relation to different levels of schooling or higher education. Our policy work seeks to influence education curricula and policy to improve the quality of the teaching and learning of statistics and data. The EPAG provides advice and helps to formulate the Society's consultation responses, research and policy work in statistical education. The EPAG also liaises on behalf of the Society with other key influencing organisations on education research and policy.
RSS Education and Statistical Literacy Committee
The Education and Statistical Literacy Committee is interested in statistical education practice, promoting careers in statistics and developing statistical literacy. The ESLC works with teachers and practitioners at all levels of education and promotes interaction between statisticians and those in the teaching profession to support high quality teaching of statistics. It encourages good practice in teaching and supports outreach activities in schools. The Committee oversees the Society's statistical career promotion activities.
How would you be involved?
We hold at least one meeting each year, usually at our London office, and occasional telephone conferences as needed. Although as a volunteer role this is unpaid, we reimburse all reasonable travel expenses. We also communicate via email, particularly for more urgent requests and require responses in a timely manner.
How do you apply?
We will be appointing current RSS fellows and we are looking to co-opt one or two e-teachers or anyone with expertise in this area.
The RSS has noted that certain social groups and statistical specialisms have been under-represented in previous applications. It welcomes volunteers reflecting the full diversity of the Society in relation to gender, race, statistical specialisms, sectors of work, etc.
The deadline for applications is Friday 15th March 2019.
If you would like to have an informal discussion beforehand, please call on 020 7614 3929.

FAQs will be posted here. Keep checking this page.
Question 1: Are the slides on Project 2 available?
Answer: Yes. See the lectures web.
Question 2: Username/Password for logging into the Virtual Machine?
Answer: Username: student Password: password This account is not a superuser account. You have been given superuser permissions for only a few select commands (you won't explicitly have to use those though).
Question 3: Is C++ okay?
Answer: Yes. You can develop your project in C++. So long as you can compile, build and run the project successfully on the VM we have supplied (without installing any additional tools), your project will be graded on Autolab. You may have to change the Makefile to acheive this. You are not allowed to develop cloudfs in languages other than C / C++.
Question 4: How to debug my cloudfs outside the tests provided?
Answer: 1) initialize your cloudfs -> ./reset.sh and then ./mount_disks.sh at /src/scripts 2) run s3 server -> ./run_server at /src/s3-server/ 3) Uncomment the line that adds the -f parameter to cloudfs in cloudfs_start (this parameter allows us to run cloudfs in foreground). Run make. 4) Run cloudfs in foreground -> ./cloudfs —no-dedup (for checkpoint 1)) at /src/build/bin/. 5) cd ~/mnt/fuse. Now run applications or system calls like touch, echo, cat, ls, chmod etc. Observe the system calls invoked, how your cloudfs responds.
Question 5: Using extended attributes gives me a ENOTSUP.
Answer: You need to specify the attribute class to be able to correctly set an extended attribute. Please consult the attr man page.
Question 6: lost+found directory causing tests to fail?
Answer: lost+found is a directory created by the Ext4 formatting tools. In fact a lost+found exists when you format a filesystem as any of the Ext filesystems (it may even exist on your own machines!). In our scripts you are required to ignore lost+found, i.e. correctness requires you to *not* enlist lost+found as one of the existing folders when an 'ls' is performed on the FUSE mountpoint. The changes required to ignore lost+found must be made entirely in your FUSE implementation. Please do not modify the scripts you are provided as doing that might result in autograding problems on Autolab.
Question 7: I keep seeing 'Transport Endpoint not connected' errors. What's going on?
Answer: This generally indicates that something in your code is broken, and has caused CloudFS to throw an error, return a bad status, or crash in some way or the other. (This generally translates to a segmentation fault because of which CloudFS has crashed). The FUSE module is unable to reach your user-level code and can't send it captured filesystem events. You need to log sufficient information (locally, please!) to catch which function is failing. Running a ./reset.sh in the scripts directory will get stuff back to normal.
Question 8: How am I supposed to log in cloudfs?
Answer: Logging done in /tmp/cloudfs.log will be relayed to you via Autolab. Remember, logging too much can crash autolab and the results of too much logging are unpredictable.
Question 9: How to submit code for cloudFS ?
Answer: You need to upload a .tar of the src folder. tar -cvf src.tar src/
Question 10: Hash Header file
Answer: In order to maintain hashes in cloudfs implemented in C, uthash.h can be used. If you are using C++ there are hash table functions in STL, called maps. For usage refer to : http://troydhanson.github.io/uthash Students are allowed to use only uthash.h from this link. One student asked and was granted permission to use this file. Others can do the same. Decision to use this file is entirely the responsibility of the student.
Question 11: How do I run the provided tests?
Answer: Please run "make test_1_n" from the src/ directory, where n is the test number.
Question 12: Crash Recovery: what are the requirements for performing crash recovery in CloudFS?
Answer: Our main intention behind testing crash recovery is to discourage memory-only implementations. Therefore, you can rest assured that we will crash and restart CloudFS only at "reasonable" points in time -- for e.g. after all files are closed (which therefore might be a good time for CloudFS to back-up all of its in-memory metadata onto SSD). We won't be crashing CloudFS while a write operation is in progess (or any operation that might lead to a change in the metadata). Also, we won't be testing Crash Recovery for checkpoint 1, but we will be testing it for checkpoints 2 and 3.
NEW Question 13: How many segments should we download from the cloud for a write on a chunked file?
Instead of thinking about the answer to this question, think about the high-level requirement: at any point, the segments that represent the file in its current state should be the same segments that the Rabin Hash algorithm would have generated as if run from the beginning of the file.
To give an example, suppose you have a file that has 6 segments in the cloud, and a write spans from the middle of the 2nd segment to the middle of the 4th segment, and completely encompasses the 3rd segment. In that case, the segments that would definitely end up changing will be the segments numbered 2 and 4, whereas segment 3 will probably vanish from the new file if the data is different (segment 1 would definitely not change). (Thought experiment: think about whether you would really need to download the 3rd segment from the cloud). Now since segment 4 will change, it may end up moving the boundary for segment 4, leading to a change in segment 5, so you might have to bring the 5th segment as well! But would you need to bring in segment 6? Maybe, but most probably not. This is an artifact of the parameters that we are using for chunking the files: the Rabin Window size is always much much smaller than the segment sizes, and therefore after 1 or 2 chunks, you would observe the exact same boundaries that the previous content gave - because that data didn't change! Therefore, you should write code that can handle segment boundaries changing due to a write, and your code should also be able to detect when to stop (which should probably be after 1-2 chunks, depending on when the segment boundaries no longer change).
NEW Question 14: Autolab submission error: Error message: 795: unexpected token at ': Error deleting user's files at line 397'
Answer: This happens when you are logging too much. Please try to reduce the amount of logs.
NEW Question 15: Autolab submission error: Error: Copy in to VM failed (status=-1)
Answer: This error is non-deterministic, which means you can solve it by resubmitting. Also, we gave everyone five more submissions to make up for the lost submissions. We are trying to figure out the cause of this error and we are sorry about the inconvenience.
Question 1: How do I know if I have used up too much heap space in my FTL implementation?
Answer: You can use the massif tool that comes with the valgrind suite. Refer to the massif manual for more information on how to run it. Remember, naive designs with large memory usage would result in point deductions, so it is important that you optimize in-memory utilization.
Question 2 : How do I submit my code to autolab?
Answer: First of all, as the handout says you can only modify the myFTL.cpp file. All your changes go into this. When you want to submit the code on autolab, just submit this file in autolab.
Question 3:Why is there block-level mapping in the overprovisioned space, and not page-level mapping?
Answer: The reason is that if we map pages of multiple data blocks into a single log-reservation block, when we have to clean, all the data blocks have to be erased (the ones whose pages are in the log-reservation block). Erases are at least an order of magnitude slower than reads / writes. This introduces sudden spikes of latency which are undesirable. There are ways to get around this spike, but I believe they are too complicated for this project. So, the policy we have chosen here is to choose a log-reservation block to buffer rewrites to a single data block, i.e. a log-reservation block cannot buffer writes from multiple data blocks.
Question 4 :Do the configuration knobs (ssd size, package size, die size, plane size and block size) have to be powers of 2?
Answer: No, it is not necessary that they be powers of 2. And, we will ensure that the percentage of overprovisioned space does not result in a fractional number of usable LBAs.
Question 5 :Is your FTL supposed to support multi-threaded tests?
Answer: No, for the purpose of this project, the tests will be single-threaded.
Question 6 :Can I access/modify the emulator classes?
Answer: No. You are not supposed to access or modify the emulator classes in any way. The provided instance of ExecCallBack is sufficient to perform everything you may need to do apart from mapping.
Question 7 :Will my code be graded for style?
Answer: Yes, your code will be graded for style. We will use the standard 15-213 coding standards for grading your code.
Question 8 :Can I use C++ standard library or other libraries?
Answer: You are free to use C++ standard library. But if you have to use libraries other than the standard library, consult the course staff first.
Question 9 :How can I move data around, from PBA0 to PBA1? Why READ returns void instead of the data?
Answer: To move the data from PBA0 to PBA1, you should do func(FlashSim::OpCode::READ, PBA0); func(FlashSim::OpCode::WRITE, PBA1);i.e. myFTL first reads the data from PBA0 to the buffer and then writes from the buffer to PBA1. The buffer is inside the simulator, so myFTL does not directly access the data. Note that the number of READs should match the the number of WRITEs when moving data.
Question 10 :Why did my code fail with "ERROR: free() illegal pointer"?
Answer: That's because you are calling free or delete with an illegal argument. The most common misuse of delete is to call delete instead of delete[] on a dynamically allocated array. Please make sure that you don't have such errors. You can test your code by running your code through valgrind before submitting on Autolab. (Many checkpoint 2 submissions failed to get a non-zero score on our checkpoint 3 tests because they were using delete in an incorrect way. Be doubly sure that you are not making this mistake). We have also received reports of code failing with this error even though valgrind shows no issues. We've identified this issue as an issue with "calloc". We request you to not use "calloc" in your code, and instead use malloc with memset.
Question 11 :Why does the framework print "Oh no! Hook is null."
Answer: Please don't run "make checkpoint_3" or "make test_3_n". You'll have to run "make run_memtool_test_3_n" instead of "make test_3_n", where n is the test number.
Question 12 :Why do the configuration files contain a SELECTED_GC_POLICY even though we've been encouraged to design our own cleaning policies?
Answer: We made a small cosmetic mistake (mostly intentional, to allow backward compatability with checkpoint 2 codes). You can safely ignore the value of that parameter.
Question 13 :I got an exception when trying to free a pointer that was calloc'ed. How to solve it?
Answer: Currently our mock library of malloc, libmockmalloc, does not support calloc. Please use a combination of malloc and memset to bypass this issue.
Question 14 :Can I use xxx design in checkpoint 3? Can I optimize according to a specific test case?
Answer: You are free to use any design in checkpoint 3 and you can safely ignore all design constraints in previous checkpoints. However, you are responsible for justifying all your design in your report. For example, "if it is test case 10, do something" is not a reasonable justification.
Question 15 :Do I have to write my final report in double-column format?
Answer: Nope. We just gave a link to a double-column paper for those who might be interested in writing their report that way. You are free to choose whatever format you want. But, please do adhere to the rest of the guidelines, like keeping it down to below 3 pages, writing your name and Andrew ID at the top etc.
Question 16 :Will there be any writeup for the final report?
Answer: Nope. The email that was sent to 746-announce (titled Final report for project 1 (myFTL)) has all the required information for writing the report.

New study says waitlists could be eliminated and care services could be expanded to cover almost five times as many Mainers currently being served
Universal home care in Maine could be model for an aging nation
Portland, ME (September 21, 2018) — Seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, care workers, activists, business leaders, and their families have been campaigning tirelessly to pass Question 1 on the ballot in Maine this November. If passed, the initiative would create the nation's first universal home care fund to provide in-home care to any Mainer with a long-term care need by partially closing the Social Security tax loophole on individual annual income exceeding $128,400.
A new study just released by The Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine, available online here, shows that the program would make 27,000 Mainers eligible to receive in-home care, many of whom currently receive no help at all in meeting their family's care needs. The program could also help to eliminate waiting lists and support long overdue reform efforts to improve Maine's Medicaid long-term services and supports system, which hasn't been updated in twenty years.
"Most of those 27,000 Mainers are currently in the position of making impossibly difficult choices, running through whatever savings they might have to pay for care or leaving the workforce to become a family caregiver for a parent or spouse," said Kevin Simowitz, Political Director Caring Across Generations, a national caregiving advocacy campaign. "Without universal homecare, those families will remain without help for the care they need."
In Maine, full-time home care costs on average $54,000 per year – more than the state's median household income. Nationally, loss of productivity due to caregiving costs businesses $25.2 billion annually.
Meanwhile, the enormous cost of care has failed to trickle down to the salaries of the home care workers who perform this vital work. Home care workers, in Maine and across America, are underpaid, earning just above minimum wage without benefits, making it very difficult for them to take care of themselves or their families. This has contributed to a 67 percent turnover rate in a workforce that is already facing dire shortages.
Miri Lyons, a former home care worker from Boothbay Harbor, ME, says, "Until a few months ago, I worked as a full-time care worker, a part-time care worker, and as a Zumba instructor, in addition to being a family caregiver. After years of struggling to make ends meet, I had to file for bankruptcy. Receiving between only $10–12.50 per hour, coupled with the cost of healthcare, made it impossible for me to have enough for my family." Lyons ended up leaving her job as a care worker to work in a community health center.
No one should have to face impossible choices like these, which is why Question 1 – in addition to making it easier for seniors to age in their homes – also includes several notable features aimed at better valuing the work of caregiving and supporting the people who do this vital work, such as:
Paul Osterman, Economist, MIT Sloan School of Management Professor and author of Who Will Care for Us?, says, "Maine, along with the rest of America, faces a crisis in long-term care as the baby boomer generation ages. Question 1 will enable families to afford paid care and assure that the help is actually available because the jobs of paid caregivers will be more fairly compensated. It is an important step forward."
As a national caregiving advocacy campaign, Caring Across Generations has supported innovative state-led movements to create and implement solutions addressing the depth of families' growing care needs. Last year, the campaign was instrumental in passing the Kupuna Caregivers Program in Hawaii, which provides a $70 per day benefit to working family caregivers so they can help their aging loved ones live at home while being able to stay in their jobs. If passed, the initiative in Maine would be groundbreaking change in increasing access to the type of long-term care most seniors prefer while strengthening the care workforce on a scale previously unseen.
Says Ai-jen Poo, co-founder of Caring Across Generations, "Women are already struggling in the economy, but more and more of us are dealing with caregiving responsibilities for our families that we have no support around. Maine, as our nation's oldest state, represents the future that all of us will face in the coming years. Universal Home Care would not only make a huge difference for aging Mainers, but also set an example for states across the country to better support caregivers and put women on a different footing in the economy."

Successful Addiction Recovery
A big factor in making sure your addiction recovery is successful is avoiding the cues that lead to relapse. However, some cues are an inevitable part of life. So to better your odds of remaining sober, it is helpful to understand how your brain works.
Environmental cues are things that can trigger emotions subconsciously, emotions such as fear and anxiety. These feelings of fear and anxiety can come between you and your successful addiction recovery, sending you searching for that drug or drink of choice, sometimes without you even knowing why.
When you start to feel these feelings of fear and anxiety, it is helpful to stop, give yourself a moment, and take a good look around. Ask yourself – Is there any real threat here? Usually the threat is only in your mind. Once you realize this, you can try to identify the cue and calm yourself down.
I'll explain more about this and recovery from addiction later, but for now, you can watch Dr. Von Stieff's fascinating video: Relapse Prevention: Overcome Fear and Anxiety Attacks and Prevent Panic Attacks.

Obama's 50th Birthday Bash is a fund raiser
Posted July 14, 2011on:
According to the Sun Times article, Obama's 50th birthday bash is going to be a fund raiser that includes celebrities and a dinner. Now most people would enjoy a big day like that with family and friends, but not our President who has been in continuous campaign mode for the last three years.
This fundraiser/birthday party will be held at the Aragon, a historic ballroom in Uptown Chicago, and is one of the biggest third quarter events that are expected to draw national supporters.
The event is multi-tiered: There is a concert at 4 p.m. with Jennifer Hudson preforming. If you want to see her performance it will cost you a $50 contribution. Better hurry and get your tickets because this is limited availability for this concert.
But for $10,000, a person you get a souvenir photo with Obama at a reception and preferred seating at the concert. For $1,000 a person you get seated in a "premium section" with a "hosted bar." A general admission ticket is $200.
The events are a benefit for the Obama Victory Fund 2012, a joint Obama 2012 re-election campaign/Democratic National Committee fund.
As you can see, nothing is off-limits for Obama. He video tapes his political ads at the White House and now he is "selling" his birthday for his political gain. Nothing is sacred with this man.

StudyX has been a welcome retreat for us. Making homework easy and fun is a goal for anyone, no matter what age you are! It has been proven that if you make studying fun and intriguing, the subjects will be retained longer and better grade will be achieved.
Studying with StudyX is simple. You can either input your material in a question answer format, or use the software that is pre-programmed. Software can be purchased for hard copy AND downloaded straight to your computer! Both Awesome choices!
From flash cards to several games, auto test generators to printable note cards. We have had a lot of fun using this for homework already and look forward to the years of continued use we will be able to get out of it.
We have only had one area that we have tested that we didn't like. The foreign language section. Having a hubby who is payed to know languages, as well as have served a foreign speaking church mission, he had a chance to get his hands into this as well. Unfortunately, foreign language can not be done successfully in a flash card setting. Many words that are spelled identical, can have multiple (and completely different) meaning depending on where you put the emphasis at. Something that can only be done with a program in which has actual listening sections.
StudyX is available for $39.99, and works on Windows XP/Vista/7 and newer.

Sunday 14th of October – 90s Baby Show Live – Online Tickets Sold Out – More On The Door
184.108.40.206 BOYS are back int eh dungeon with a good ole friend. Our Brother Jouf joins us to talk it all including the initiation of G.A.S Gang
We start off with a few simple questions so we will pose then to you; Has anything that we have said to be cancelled stayed cancelled? Some claimed H&M was cancelled but we still shop there, and various individuals like Kanye were said to be cancelled but they are still being attended too..
Oh, also… another question, Pizza Hut or Dominoes?
If a man goes to a brothel or prostitutes and pays for sex with 4 women.. How many does he add to his body count?
We do a deep dive into being a founding member of GAS Gang when it first started and why. Bringing different gangs together may be a terrible thing but in hindsight; it's very smart and organised to say the least. People that failed at school managed to put minor issues aside, unite loads of individuals to create an almost 'super gang' made up of various gangs. Questions is how do we channel our young people's energy and minds into constructive things
These young people are leaders, how can we make them lead in more positive things.
We touch on jail times as Joof has been before. He tells us about his views and how insignificant it was as a system that intends to rehabilitate
We ask the question 'what made you come off the roads?' Which he gave an interesting answer to away from having kids.

This week Christie Brinkley will return to Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue — nearly four decades since her debut in 1979 and 13 years since her last photo shoot in a swimsuit. But she's definitely still got it in 2017. In fact, the 63-year-old model makes 60-something look like 20-something, and it got us thinking: What is she eating and how in the world does she maintain that killer bikini bod? Here's everything you need to know.[instagram align='center' id='BQMYZhngsVo']https://www.instagram.com/p/BQMYZhngsVo[/instagram]
She gave up dieting a long time ago.
"I tried some pretty weird diets in the beginning... everything from juice fasting to eating one kind of food at a time, to eating a grapefruit first before everything," she explained to New York Magazine in 2015. "The only thing that really lasts is a well-balanced diet."
She starts every morning with warm water and lemon.
"It's something I picked up on my Instagram," she told New York Magazine. Brinkley puts a bit of manuka honey and cayenne pepper into her hot water with the juice of a whole lemon, then sips it every morning — before she even thinks about making a cup of coffee — to get herself revved up for the day.
Her breakfast is very, very full.
In a 2014 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Brinkley said she loves sheep-milk yogurt mixed with blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, papaya, chia seeds, raw oatmeal, and walnuts. If she wants more protein, she'll whip up an egg-white omelet with spinach and mushrooms. She's also a huge fan of avocado toast.[instagram align='center' id='BJVfRlNgr7Z']https://www.instagram.com/p/BJVfRlNgr7Z[/instagram]
She's a strict vegetarian...
...but a self-described flexible vegan. "Because, you know, Italy exists," she joked with New York Magazine. "Mozzarella and pasta exist. In France, I may have to have a piece of Camembert, you know. Un petit sandwich au fromage [a cheese sandwich]." But she hasn't touched a piece of meat since she was 12 and, over the years, has fluctuated between eating different types of dairy.
Her lunch is light, but she fills up with snacks.
"I always have a salad with whatever grain or bean was left over from dinner piled on top," she explained to Harper's Bazaar. Then, later in the afternoon, she'll make fresh juice using kale, lime juice, orange juice, and avocado and snack on a homemade pumpkin-seed mix made with Himalayan salt, walnuts, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and dried raisins. If she's hungry before lunch, an apple — sometimes with peanut butter — is her go-to post-breakfast snack.[instagram align='center' id='BM2tW0FAtKc']https://www.instagram.com/p/BM2tW0FAtKc[/instagram]
Her dinners are super colorful.
"My favorite dish is brown rice with lentils, roasted red and yellow peppers, and fennel with a sweet potato and a salad on the side," she told Harper's Bazaar. A ton of different veggies with grains — or, as she puts it, going for "as many colors as possible in a day" — is the goal. And she's not against imbibing while she eats: "I like a glass of red wine with dinner because it doesn't interfere with my sleep."[instagram align='center' id='BKgcCBxAFrI']https://www.instagram.com/p/BKgcCBxAFrI[/instagram]
She's obsessed with chocolate.
Brinkley told Harper's Bazaar she indulges in one splurge every single day: a Gnosis Pom Açai raw chocolate bar.

Lesson Seventeen
Either and Neither
and "neither" are used in almost the same way as "so"
and "too," but they are used with negative verbs.
I didn't get enough to eat, and you didn't either.
I didn't get enough to eat, and neither did you.
Pay attention to word order. "Either"
goes at the end of the sentence after the
negative helping verb,
and "neither" goes
after the
then the helping verb,
and then the
It's important to notice that words
following "neither" are not negative. You shouldn't use double
negatives in English.
When two situations are the same,
you could write a sentence like this:
William doesn't work there,
and John doesn't work there.
But this is better:
William doesn't work there, and
John doesn't either.
William doesn't work there, and
neither does John.
This video might help you:
Here are some more examples:
doesn't want to wake Tom up, and Christine doesn't either.
Mary doesn't want to wake Tom up,
and neither does Christine.
not very good at painting walls, and she isn't either.
He's not very good at painting
walls, and neither is she.
can't wait until the baby is born, and he can't either.
She can't wait unitl the baby is
born, and neither can he.
Now it's time for you to practice. It
might be helpful to do the exercise in Lesson 16 if you haven't done
so already. As in that exercise, use the subject and the connecting
word in parenthesis. Write this out by hand.
1. I can't speak Spanish, and ___________________________.
(you / either)
2. She doesn't eat red meat, and ________________________.
(he / neither)
3. The students didn't have any books, and __________.

Dear SJ,
I was young and I made a mistake. Ten years ago on the eve of my husband paying bride price, I had unprotected sex with my ex whom I still loved. I didn't love my husband. It's just that he had money. I fell pregnant by my ex and my husband knows nothing. My ex, the father of the child knows and financially supports my son. This thing has been eating me for a decade. What should I do? – Guilty sister.
Dear 'Guilty sister'
What a cluster fuck!
I never understand why people "move on" when we are still in love with someone else as if those feelings will go away with a finger snap. Unprotected sex is a no-no and people just don't care. Your ex could have infected you. Anyway, here you are and clearly, you are not in love with your husband. I take it you neglected to mention that you are still sleeping with your ex! Protection, please! Who else is he sleeping with now?
As it should, it has been eating you for decades.
Time to come clean sister.
The other day I was speaking with my aunt about the harm and hurt that ensues when couples fall out. You definitely will have to rope in elders from your family. If you follow this column, I always say that family is there to support you. Speak to trusted aunts and uncles in your family, preferably the same ones who coupled you to your lobolo day. They will have to break it down to your husband and I suppose negotiate a separation.
I do not see this going down well with your husband at all. Your go-betweens will have to be on their best behaviour and apologise to this man and his family on your behalf. You did him bad.
You are not alone either.
Research at the National University of Science and Technology uncovered that 35% of women lie about the paternity of their children. The figure is definitely much higher than that.
Your family may get mad at you and with good reason because you lied to them too. They have already spent your lobolo money. My sister, what the fuck do you even mean that the father of the child "supports the child?" He supports you! That money is yours to spend playgirl. That is why you are feeling bad.
He is as complicit as you are. How can he be underhandedly pumping money for a child that he has no custody to? Trust me, if he was not pumping money and sweetening you up on the App, you wouldn't be feeling bad at all! Is the child – to your horror – starting to look more like him?
Which surname does the child use?
The father of the child will have to come clean on this as well since he knew you were getting customarily married the day after sleeping with you. If the two of you still want to be together and your child, you will have to leave your husband because I can guarantee you that at some point, both these men will rise up to say that they have been supporting you and the poor child. This whole thing is unfair to a chain of people and you are at the centre. Speak to him first.
Money – one of the four problems of all human beings – has got you in this jungle. The father, your ex, the guy I suspect you are still sleeping with on the side, the one you are in love with. Still, if he is all of the above as good as you paint him, his family should offer a myriad of payment to your husband. All of you involved will have to read a book or two about diplomacy and good counselling to solve this.
If your family refuses to touch this issue, I hope you have good relations in church. Try the church community of church elders to go-between. Maybe your husband will forgive you and choose to remain with you. The trauma may most likely be on your son who will have to learn his true paternity and at the age of 10 when his memories of the man that is not his father are solid. Rather now than later, because later, I guarantee you that you will lose all of these men of in your life.

Interprovincial emissions trading market could be worth up to $12 billion, says CIBC
An inter-provincial market in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission credits could be worth as much as $12 billion annually, says a new study by CIBC World Markets. The leading buyers of emissions credits would likely be the economies of Saskatchewan, Alberta and New Brunswick, it says, with Quebec and Manitoba likely sellers.
The report notes that Saskatchewan and Alberta account for 60% of national GHG emissions growth since 1990, making them the most emissions-intensive provinces, relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). These two provinces together represent less than 15% of the country's population.
"Saskatchewan produces more GHG emissions per unit of GDP than any other province, with an emissions intensity more than three times the national average," said Jeff Rubin, chief strategist and chief economist for CIBC World Markets. "Emissions from the labyrinth of pipelines that crisscross the province as well as from its coal-fired power plants make the seemingly green prairie province the most carbon-intensive in the country."
On the other hand, the Manitoba and Quebec economies would be the most obvious sellers, "given their already low emissions intensity and planned expansion of emission-free electricity generation," he noted.
Saskatchewan, Alberta and Nova Scotia, which rely on coal for 60%, 74% and 63% of their electricity needs, respectively, face significant aggregate carbon vulnerability. British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador are less exposed to carbon costs, as they all rely heavily on emissions-free hydro power, the report adds.
The study found that electricity generation tends to be the single most important determinant of a province's potential exposure to carbon emission costs. Coal-fired generation is the chief offender, emitting roughly twice the GHG emissions per unit of power produced than gas-powered plants. Gas plants themselves are relatively heavy emitters when compared to effectively emissions-free sources of electricity like hydro and nuclear.
The oil and gas industry is also a large contributor to GHG emissions. Growth in this sector's emissions since 1990 has been in excess of 50%, a rate easily twice as brisk as that from remaining GHG sources combined. The report says the carbon profile of Canada's oil industry will worsen materially in the next decade as oil sands production rapidly eclipses conventional oil production.
Producing a barrel of synthetic oil from the oil sands generates three times as much GHG emissions as an equivalent amount of conventional crude, mainly because of heating requirements. Alberta already accounts for roughly two-thirds of direct emissions from fossil fuel industries, and that figure will rise substantially, given the planned doubling or even tripling in oil sands production over the next decade. Even with continuing improvements in emissions intensity, the scale of production increases could see oil sands emissions rise from roughly 30 megatonnes (Mt) today to more than 100 Mt over the next decade.
"The regional disparities in emissions growth could lead to some pretty hefty inter-provincial flows of emissions credits under any future cap-and-trade system established along the lines currently being implemented by a growing number of U.S. states," said Rubin.
Based on what is considered the minimum price of $30 a ton to stabilize emission growth, the report forecasts that the more than 410 Mt of annual CO2-equivalent emissions (2004 figures) that come directly from identifiable industrial and commercial sources would have a market value of over $12 billion.
"It remains to be seen how a cap-and-trade system would be implemented in Canada - or how much of that $12 billion in emissions credits would be traded across provincial borders," Rubin added. "But with an already-skewed distribution of GHG emissions looking to become even more unbalanced in coming years, it's easy to envision a healthy inter-provincial trade in carbon permits.
The study found that Quebec has contributed only 3% of the emissions growth in the country since 1990 and has the lowest GHG emissions per unit of real GDP of any province in Canada. Manitoba has contributed only 1% of the nation's emissions growth since 1990 and is the fourth lowest province in emissions per unit of real GDP. Although Ontario has driven 17% of emissions growth during this period, it ranks as the second-lowest province in emissions per unit of real GDP, says the report.
While Ontario relies on coal-fired utilities to provide 18% of its power (including the largest coal-fired plant-and single biggest emitter-in the country at Nanticoke), an even greater reliance on nuclear and hydro helps limit electricity-related emissions. Like hydro, nuclear is essentially a carbon-free source of power. While no new facilitates have been approved, Ontario is exploring enhanced nuclear capacity over the next decade.
Expanding transmission linkages, meanwhile, will facilitate the import of power from neighbouring provinces. That is seen as a potential avenue for lessening Ontario's reliance on coal-fired plants, which currently account for some 30 Mt of GHG emissions-about 15% of total provincial emissions. At the same time, over 30% of the province's emissions come from the transportation sector, compared to little more than 20% for the rest of the country. The substitution of mass transit for private vehicle transportation would have a greater impact in Ontario than in any other province.
New Brunswick, together with Saskatchewan, are the only two provinces that have failed to record a decline in emissions intensity relative to 1990 levels. New Brunswick, home to Canada's largest oil refinery, has seen emissions from fossil fuel industries more than double since 1990. Planned increases in refinery capacity would materially affect the province's emissions profile.

100th episode tvd, candice accola, damon, Delena, drama, elena, ian somerhalder, joseph morgan, Katherine Fierce, Klaroline, Klaus, nina dobrev, paul wesley, series, television, The Vampire Diaries, tv, TVD, TVD100
The so much desired and anticipated 100th has been aired and I have to say it didn't disappoint our expectations at all.
I might say that this season has been a total revelation to me, I was starting losing faith in the show, but OMG it's just awesome! Julie Plec, i said it and i repeat myself, is doing great. Let's come back to last night episode, every second was worthy, but I'll try to emphasize what I love the most starting with Klaroline.
It finally happened, I have been waiting for this moment since ever, Klas and Caroline are so good together, is the weirdest couple ever, they are so different, but soooo cute!
Also Damon can't avoid surprising us. His words lately are so heartbreaking. We are not used to Damon talking about his feelings, but I do appreciate that he cares so much of Elena. Please, come back together! (Damn it, there's the Katherine situation now, but we'll get there)
What I really liked from this 100th episode is the way that dead characters have been fit into the storyline. It was just perfect, I mean Jenna and John in Katherine's mind was really cool, as well as see Alaric again. Oh, I really miss his character.
And here we go to the spirit of survival that just one person has on Earth. Katherine, you never disappointed me. During the last 15 episode, I would say, I started appreciating her so much that I can't imagine the show without her. Just when I was giving away all my hopes that she would have survived, here we go, she made it through again. She was basically dead, and decided to come back to life, how cool was that!?
One last news, #KatherineFierce has been twitter trending the whole night, here some tweets from the protagonists.

DescendantRemoving fires immediately before the
Instance/Parent|Parent of a descendant of the
Instance changes such that the object is no longer a descendant of the Instance.
Instance/Destroy|Destroy and
Instance/Remove|Remove change an object's Parent to nil, so calling these on a descendant of an object will therefore cause this event to fire.
Since this event fires before the the descendant's removal, the Parent of the descendant will be unchanged, i.e., it will still be a descendant at the time of this event firing. If the descendant is also a child of the object, It will also fire before ChildRemoved. There is no similar event called "DescendantRemoved".
If a descendant has children, this event fires with the descendant first followed by its descendants.
The example below should help clarify how DescendantRemoving fires when there are several objects involved.
- Calling
Instance/Remove|Removeon PartA would cause DescendantRemoving to fire on both ModelA and Model, in that order.
- Setting the
Instance/Parent|Parentof PartA to ModelB would cause DescendantRemoving to fire on ModelA but not Model (as Model would still be an ancestor of PartA).
- Calling
Instance/Destroy|Destroyon ModelA would cause DescendantRemoving to fire multiple times on several objects:
- On Model with ModelA, PartA then FireA.
- On ModelA, with PartA then FireA.
- On PartA with FireA.
This event fires with the descendant object that is being removed. Attempting to set the
Instance/Parent|Parent of the descendant being removed to something else will fail with the following warning: "Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of X to Y while trying to set the parent of X. Current parent is Z", where X is the removing descendant, Y is the ignored parent setting, and Z is the original parent of X. Below is an example that demonstrates this:
-- Don't manipulate the parent of descendant in this function!
-- This event fires BECAUSE the parent of descendant was manipulated,
-- and the change hasn't happened yet, i.e. this function fires before that happens.
-- Therefore, it is problematic to change the parent like this:
descendant.Parent = game
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Parent = workspace
part.Parent = nil -- This triggers DescendantRemoving on Workspace:
--> Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of Part to NULL while trying to set the parent of Part. Current parent is Workspace.

The following example prints the name of any descendant as it is being removed from the Workspace:
