When I first started with Erie Events in 2007 I was the Director of Food and Beverage. One of my duties was to present a wine selection a notch above what is usually found in the Erie area. I spoke with my wine representatives and produced a line of wines Erie could be proud of. I continue to do so today.
A question I often get is "how do you pick what wines you serve your customers?" I select wines I think are a good value for the dollar. There are a lot of wines most people don't know exist and are not available at the liquor stores on a daily basis. These SLO wines (special liquor order) are what I am looking for – unknown to most, a great value and a very good wine. Our wines constantly change so we can take advantage of a great value as it comes along. I think our customers can attest to the value they receive!
It can be a tough job constantly tasting and selecting wines, but someone has to do it!

you call it desperation. i call it dedication and the biggest craving ever.
i don't think i've celebrated St. Patty's day in a long time. not that i'm Irish. it's just that green is my all time favorite color in the world and you'd think i would be all over the green-obsessed holiday. this year, i celebrated it with Ryan and we both rocked out in green - me in my favorite green skirt and Ryan, his hunter green tee.
he also planned out an afternoon for us to hang out at Mall of Georgia to do some window shopping. (we like to pretend that we already have a home together and pretend to shop for all the things we want to fill it with. William and Sonoma and Pottery Barn are two favorites.) for dinner, we made a Chipotle run (duh) and then went on a mad hunt for Mickey D's shamrock shakes. sadly, every MD we went to were sold out. seriously?! it's St. Patrick's Day! you guys need to double-up on your shamrock shake mixtures! so to make up for it, Ryan took me to Starbucks for a green tea frappe. it was good but def did not meet the minty-goodness craving.
we wrapped up the evening with a casual walk at a nearby park. mostly people-watched and then set my camera on timer. after what felt like a million tires, we finally got my timer to work and get a somewhat decent photo. if you look close enough with this photo, i'm in mid-laughter. or maybe it's just my awkward crooked smile making it's appearance.
p.s. don't forget to enter the sweet giveaway happening this week!

Lana Del Rey Sings Latest Single 'Blue Jeans' on 'The Voice U.K.'
Chris M. Junior
Give Lana Del Rey credit: It takes guts to perform on a TV singing-competition broadcast when some music critics have gone to great lengths to knock her inconsistent vocals.
Del Rey recently appeared on an episode of 'The Voice U.K.' to sing her new single, 'Blue Jeans' — and the improvement since her maligned 'Saturday Night Live' debut in January is obvious.
Wearing a much-shorter dress than the one from her infamous 'SNL' showing (during which she sang 'Video Games' and 'Blue Jeans'), Del Rey still doesn't make anyone forget the frenetic energy of Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis. She very much remains a stationary singer, and the occasional stroke of her hair with a microphone-free hand is the closest thing Del Rey has to a signature move (for lack of a better term).
Nevertheless, the 'Voice U.K.' audience approved of her overall performance, responding with genuinely enthusiastic cheering when she finished. Tom Jones — someone who knows a thing or two about singing and working a stage — can be seen smiling and clapping from his judge's chair.

The EMS IRIS+ wireless alarm system is the most widely used wireless hi-integrity system for protection of staff and protection for personal attack situations. The IRIS+ system is industry leading and as such it is used by nearly all financial institutions throughout the UK.
Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd are able to supply and fit the wireless alarm system which is an extremely reliable and flexible, with multiple configuration options available making it suitable for nearly all applications. As it is wireless, the need for cable is eliminated and any additions or alterations can be made quickly and cost effectively.
The combination of replaceable low-cost energy packs in each unit, combined with system wide power management software also reduce the overall operating costs. The Transmitters do not require charging every day and each handset requires two AA alkaline batteries which should provide approximately 5 years of operating life based on typical usage.
IRIS+ uses a secure signalling system that eliminates false alarms from other radio interference and fault condition is reported immediately due to the transmitter call-in failure detection which is a standard feature of IRIS+.
The 7256 IRIS+ enables optional site wide paging using the EMS paging facility which allows managers and security staff to receive information at any location on the site.
At Fire and Safety Solutions we work with leading manufacturers for all of our products we supply and are happy to install or service most market leading brands.
With manufacturers who we feel exceed all of our expectations, we work closely with them in order to provide our customers with not only the best pricing but also access to the expertise and knowledge that manufacturer can offer, ensuring you get a premium product and service.
EMS IRIS+ wireless products are one such manufacturer who FASS endorse and recommend as a trusted supplier.
The IRIS wireless radio personal attack alarm system is designed for use in all types of financial, industrial or commercial buildings where staff need the security of an instant response personal attack alarm. The transmitters can also be placed in fixed positions and as it is wireless any changes can be made quickly and cost effectively. False alarms which were often caused by damage to traditional wiring circuits are totally removed.
The system can monitor up to 256 transmitters, each uniquely identified by the receiver. Every event is time and date stamped and stored in incident log which can be reviewed using the LCD screen. After resetting, the events are then archived to the historical log, which can also be read from the display or with an optional plug-in printer.
The IRIS personal attack receiver range includes a range of software features which enable you to manage activation's if required e.g. alarm verification for high risk personnel (cashiers, early morning entry etc) and or low risk personal, such as financial services – this allows you to distinguish the groups as to if the police should attend or if local assistance is required. This can assist in reducing unwanted police call-outs.
The IRIS system fully complies with police requirements for confirmed alarms (BS8243:2010) and is designed to comply with EN50131 conforming for radio signalling.
The main function of the transmitter is to provide portable protection, with a local assistance button and a dual action full alarm/panic facility.
Personnel protection/support – e.g. financial institutions, cash based operations etc.
Maintenance workers in hazardous areas.
Loan worker situations, where a base receiver can be connected to a remote signalling system, providing backup support.
Unsupervised employees, lab staff, forklift truck drivers, warehousemen etc.
The 7500 also offers an additional safety feature – a man-down facility including an audible warning option. Following user activation, tactile verification is also available as an option. Visual indication is provided for both full activation and battery low monitoring.
The system is designed to comply with EN50131 conforming for radio signalling and fully complies with police requirements for confirmed alarms (BS8243:2010).
The IRIS wireless pendant can be worn in different ways depending upon your own company requirements and is supplied with a "quick-release" lanyard as standard. This can be changed to one of your own branded lanyards should you require.
Each pendant has a battery life of 12 months based on typical usage and up to 256 pendants can be used with a single system. Using secure UHF frequencies, which typically allow in excess of 150 meter coverage from the IRIS panel, users are able to continue carrying out their work safe in the knowledge that help is on hand, should it be needed.
Using dual activation (large red buttons on each side of the pendant) to request assistance and eliminate any false activation's, this pendant is a vital addition to your Health and Safety plan.
Each pendant is lightweight (only 25.35g) which makes it virtually "invisible" until such time it is needed.
Specifications vary depending on the type of system required. In order to obtain the correct specification for the system most relevant to your needs, please call our sales team to discuss your requirements. To review all of the specifications, please see the downloads tab of this page.


Aldershot Town defender Guy Branston says he understands the decision by fans to boo the side after their 1-0 home loss to Chesterfield.
The Shots fell into the League Two relegation zone following the defeat.
Branston told BBC Surrey: "I want the crowd to be passionate after we've won or after we've lost.
"The crowd aren't happy to be relegation fodder. They want to be in the mix and have excitement. It's nice they get on at us and get involved."
Aldershot have lost their last four league games and the 33-year-old centre-back has welcomed interaction from supporters at the EBB Stadium.
"I'm not about the airy-fairy Olympics [idea of] clapping everyone just for kicking the ball," he added.
"I don't want that. If we're not doing the right thing then make sure you get on at us.
"I love reading about psychology and how it works on players. You get about five to six percent more out of the player if you get on at him.
"Make sure you turn up in force and do that."
Branston, who joined Aldershot on a free transfer this summer, says he has felt the effects of their recent run of form in his personal life.
"I can't say across the board that every player is the same because we're all different personalities.
"I know it hurts me. I go home and think about it. My missus moans because I can't switch off after a game.
"I struggle sleeping because you think about certain things. I'll think about the goal, watch it back and work on it. I'll keep fighting tooth and nail."

Q: Rhino Mock to execute yield return I'm trying to write a unit test to check for parsing errors.  I'm streaming data in from a file, parsing it and returning the parsed result with yield return, then passing it to a data layer to bulk insert.
I'm having trouble mocking out the call to the data layer.  Because it's mocked it never actually enumerates the values from the yield return and thus my parsing method never executes.
public class Processor
{
    public IUnityContainer Container { get; set; }

    public void ProcessFile(Stream stream)
    {
        var datamanager = Container.Resolve<IDataManager>();
        var things = Parse(stream);
        datamanager.Save(things);
    }

    IEnumerable<string> Parse(Stream stream)
    {
        var sr = new StreamReader(stream);
        while (!sr.EndOfStream)
        {
            string line = sr.ReadLine();
            // do magic
            yield return line;
        }
    }
}

I tried something like this which obviously doesn't work.
[TestMethod]
[ExpectedException(typeof(ApplicationException))]
public void ProcessFile_InvalidInput_ThrowsException()
{
    var mock = new MockRepository();

    var stream = new MemoryStream();
    var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(stream);
    streamWriter.WriteLine("\\:fail");
    streamWriter.Flush();
    stream.Position = 0;

    var datamanager = mock.Stub<IDataManager>();
    TestContainer.RegisterInstance(datamanager);

    var repos = new ProcessingRepository();
    TestContainer.BuildUp(repos);

    using (mock.Record())
    {
        Expect.Call(file.InputStream).Return(stream);
        Expect.Call(delegate() { repos.Save(new List<string>()) }).IgnoreArguments();
    }
    using (mock.Playback())
    {
        repos.ProcessFile(stream);
    }
}

A: One optimal solution would be to put the stuff that happens in "//do magic" in a separate method so it can be unit tested in isolation -- without the need of being called from inside a while loop that is processing a StreamReader.
The issue you're seeing is due to lazy evaluation of the enumeration.  Since none of your test code is actually enumerating the "things", the state machine that is built up "behind the scenes" to handle the iterator block is never processed.
You'll need to cause the items to be enumerated in order to actually execute the logic in the Parse method.  You can do this my using Rhino.Mocks "WhenCalled" method (I'm showing the AAA syntax since I don't recall how to use the record/replay semantics):
NOTE: This is untested code
datamanager.Stub(d => d.Save(null)).IgnoreArguments().WhenCalled(m => int count = ((IEnumerable<string>)m.Arguments[0]).Count());

What happens is that when the Save method on your stub is called, the "WhenCalled" is passed a parameter (m) which contains information about the method called.  Grab the first argument (things), cast it to IEnumerable<string> and get its count.  This will force an evaluation of the enumerable.

Oregon's historic wildfire season winding down as rainy weather comes in
Oregon's wildfires are waning but California appears that it may remain dry.
Author: Joe Raineri (KGW)
Published: 6:27 PM PDT October 17, 2020
Updated: 6:27 PM PDT October 17, 2020
PORTLAND, Ore. — Just about five weeks ago we were under thick black smoke as dozens of wildfires burned out of control across the state of Oregon.
Now that we're transitioning into more of the rainy season, fire season is quickly winding down according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, and this year's fire season was a historic one.
More than a million acres hundreds of homes burned to the ground. John Saltenberger is the fire weather program manager with the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland. He said we were dealing with a quiet fire season until Labor Day weekend.
Saltenberger said a combination of dry fuels, warm weather and high winds started to spread fires across the state. "My heart sank on Monday afternoon on Labor Day when the winds got so strong the trees at my home were bending and the branches were breaking off and the sky filled with smoke," said Saltenberger.
Over a month later, he says for all practical purposes the fire season is over in the Pacific Northwest but while it might be wrapping up in our area, it's a different story in California, where they continue to see no chance of rain and more of a warm easterly wind, that will continue to keep things dry down there.
Looking into the later part of this year, it doesn't appear Mother Nature is going to be kind to a state that has already seen its own historic fire season.
Saltenberger said the oceanic cycle in the Pacific Ocean is already in a La Nina pattern, and when La Ninas occur, typically southern California remains dry.
Though the season is technically coming to a close, thousands of people were impacted and are beginning to rebuild in the areas that burned the worst in Oregon.

Cunningham, Allan (1784-1842) (DNB00)

Cunningham, Allan (1784-1842)
by Leslie Stephen
Cunningham, Charles→

Cunningham, Allan (1784-1842)Leslie Stephen 1888
CUNNINGHAM, ALLAN (1784–1842), miscellaneous writer, was born in the parish of Keir, Dumfriesshire, on 7 Dec. 1784. His father, John Cunningham (1743–1800), was descended from an Ayrshire family, and in 1784 was factor to a Mr. Copeland of Blackwood House, Keir. John Cunningham married Elizabeth Harley, daughter of a Dumfries merchant, and had by her five sons and four daughters. The mother's marked intellectual power was transmitted to her children. James, the eldest son (b. 1765), became a builder, contributed to magazines, and died on 27 July 1832. Thomas Mounsey (b. 1776) [q. v.] became managing clerk to Sir John Rennie, the engineer; he composed some popular songs and contributed articles called a 'Literary Legacy' to the 'Edinburgh Magazine' (1817); he died of cholera on 28 Oct. 1834. John, the third son, died young. Peter Miller, the fifth (b. 1789) [q. v.], became a surgeon in the navy. When Allan, the fourth son, was two years old, his father became factor to Mr. Miller at Dalswinton, and was a friend and neighbour of Burns during the poet's Ellisland period. He died in 1800. Allan was educated at a dame's school, and before completing his eleventh year was apprenticed to his brother James, then a stonemason in Dalswinton village. At leisure moments he read all the books he could procure, picked up popular poetry, was a welcome guest at village merrymakings, and fond of practical jokes. During the fears of an invasion he joined another lad in alarming the whole country-side by putting mysterious marks upon all the houses by night, which were attributed to French agents. They escaped detection. He saw Burns lying dead, and walked in the funeral procession. When about eighteen he went with his brother James to pay a visit of homage to Hogg, the Ettrick shepherd, who became a warm friend of both brothers. He paid twenty-four shillings for a copy of Scott's 'Lays' on its first appearance, and when 'Marmion' came out walked to Edinburgh and back to catch a glimpse of the author. A letter to the minister of Dalswinton, John Wightman (April 1806), shows that he was then reading various solid books, and both reading and writing poetry. Some poems signed Hidallan (a hero of Ossian's) were published in the 'Literary Recreations' (1807), edited by Eugenius Roche. His employer offered him a partnership, and while engaged in his work he fell in love with Jean Walker, servant in a house where he lodged, and addressed to her a popular song, 'The Lass of Preston Mill.'
In 1809 R. H. Cromek [q. v.] was travelling in Scotland to collect songs. He brought an introduction to Cunningham from Mrs. Fletcher, well known in the Edinburgh circles. Cunningham produced his poems, of which Cromek thought little. Cunningham then hit upon the plan of disguising them as old songs. Cromek now admired, and was probably taken in for the moment. He accepted them readily, and was not less eager for the songs, if, as is probable, he suspected their real origin. Cunningham continued to forward ballads to Cromek in London, and Cromek persuaded him to come to London himself and try literature. Cunningham consented, reaching London on 9 April 1810. A volume called 'Remains of Nithsdale and Galloway Song' appeared the following December, of which Cunningham says (Hogg, p. 79) that 'every article but two little scraps was contributed by me,' a fact by no means discoverable from Cromek's acknowledgment in the introduction of Cunningham's services in drawing 'many pieces from obscurity.' The book, which contains interesting accounts in prose of the Scotch border peasantry, obviously by Cunningham, was favourably received, and the mystification as to the origin of the ballads was always transparent to the more intelligent, especially Scott and Hogg. An article upon this volume by Professor Wilson in 'Blackwood's Magazine' for December 1819 first drew public attention to Cunningham's poetical merits. Cromek paid Cunningham with a bound volume and a promise of something on a new edition. He also received Cunningham in his house, and gave him an introduction to Francis Chantrey, who was just rising into notice.
Cunningham obtained employment from a sculptor named Bubb at twenty-five shillings (raised to thirty-two shillings) a week. He applied to Eugenius Roche, now editing the 'Day,' who allowed him a guinea a week for poetry, and employed him as a parliamentary reporter. He describes his performance in this capacity in a letter to his brother, dated 29 Dec. 1810, where he announces another collection of songs. Jean Walker now came to him, and they were married at St. Saviour's, Southwark, on 1 July 1811. He obtained employment from his countryman, Jerdan, editor of the 'Literary Gazette,' and in 1813 published a volume of 'Songs, chiefly in the rural dialect of Scotland.' In 1814 he was engaged by Chantrey as superintendent of the works, and gave up newspapers. He lived afterwards at 27 Lower Belgrave Place, Pimlico. He acted as Chantrey's secretary, conducted his correspondence, represented him during his absence, and occasionally ventured an artistic hint. He became known to Chantrey's sitters, and commanded general respect. The connection, honourable on both sides, lasted till Chantrey's death.
Cunningham had to provide for a growing family, and worked hard at literature. He 'rose at six and worked till six' in Chantrey's studio, and wrote in the evening. He contributed a series of stories called 'Recollections of Mark Macrabin, the Cameronian,' to 'Blackwood's Magazine,' 1819–21. He gave up 'Blackwood' for the 'London Magazine.' In 1820 he submitted a drama called 'Sir Marmaduke Maxwell' to Sir Walter Scott, whose personal acquaintance he had made when Scott was sitting to Chantrey. Scott thought it unfit for the stage, though praising its poetry. He pays it a compliment in the preface to the 'Fortunes of Nigel.' It was published in 1822 with some other pieces. In 1822 appeared also two volumes of 'Traditional Tales of the English and Scottish Peasantry,' and in 1825 four volumes of 'The Songs of Scotland, Ancient and Modern.' This includes 'A Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea,' which though written by a landsman is one of our best sea songs. In the following years he tried romances, now forgotten, 'Paul Jones,' 1826, 'Sir Michael Scott,' 1828, 'Maid of Elvar,' poem in 12 parts, 1833, and the 'Lord Roldan,' 1836. He adopted a fashion of the day by bringing out the 'Anniversary' for 1829 and 1830, an annual with contributions from Southey, Wilson, Lockhart, Hogg, Croker, Procter, and others. From 1829 to 1833 appeared his 'Lives of the most Eminent British Painters, Sculptors, and Architects,' 6 vols., forming part of Murray's 'Family Library.' It is well and pleasantly written, and had a large sale. His knowledge of contemporary artists gives it some permanent value. An edition in three volumes, edited by Mrs. Charles Heaton, appeared in Bohn's 'Standard Library' in 1879. A meritorious edition of Burns in eight volumes, which appeared in 1834, was the last work of importance during his life. He corrected the last proofs of a life of Sir David Wilkie just before his death, and it appeared posthumously.
Cunningham's domestic life was happy. His letters to his mother show that his filial affection was as enduring as Carlyle's. A poem to his wife, first printed in Alaric Watts's 'Literary Souvenir' for 1824, gives a pleasing and obviously sincere account of his lifelong devotion. They had five sons and a daughter. Scott in 1828 obtained cadetships for two sons, Alexander and Joseph [q. v.], in the Indian service. Both did well. Peter [q. v.] became clerk in the audit office, and was the well-known antiquary. Francis [q. v.] also entered the Indian army. In 1831 Cunningham visited Nithsdale, was presented with the freedom of Dumfries, and entertained at a public dinner, whither Carlyle came from Craigenputtock and made a cordial speech in his honour. Carlyle afterwards met Cunningham in London. He admired the 'stalwart healthy figure and ways' of the 'solid Dumfries stonemason' (Reminiscences, ii. 211), and exempted him as a pleasant Naturmensch from his general condemnation of London scribblers. He was generally known as 'honest Allan Cunningham,' and was a stalwart, hearty, and kindly man, with a tag of rusticity to the last.
Chantrey died in 1841, leaving an annuity of 100l. to Cunningham, with a reversion to Mrs. Cunningham. Cunningham had already had a paralytic attack, and he died on 30 Oct. 1842, the day after a second attack. He was buried at Kensal Green. His widow died in September 1864.

Seanbaby ·
When we were raised, our mothers told us we were special and our media told us everyone else was child molesters. This led to an entire generation of people cynical enough to think the world was going to end, and self-centered enough to think it would happen while we were on it. If doctors had a name for it, it'd be apocalypsurbation. Personally, I grew up in a household that ran regular nuclear winter drills. We reloaded our own ammunition, canned our own food, stabilized our own gasoline storage and by the age of 10 I'd shot and killed so many paper plate targets that to this day I go for my gun when I see people handing out birthday cake. Writing a step-by-step instruction manual to every apocalyptic situation is impossible. For example, if you live in a large city center, you'd want a book that's simply 200 pages of screamable quotes you can select from before you're immediately dead. Plus, there's a huge difference in apocalypse survival between The Day After Stage and the LME (or Last-Man-on-Earth) Stage. In The Day After Stage, you'll still have luxuries like emergency broadcasts and lootable grocery stores. In the LME Stage, your schedule will change quite a bit. You might not be the literal Last Man on Earth, but you can pretty much count on all the other ones wanting to kill you and eat you. Because there is so much variation to plan for, I'm giving you a single personal trait you'll want to focus on for each type of global catastrophe. Let's look at the facts. Fact 1: The average nerd spends three hours a day thinking about the zombie apocalypse. Fact 2: A study done by the National Center For Disease Control found that for every zombie survival plan you have, you are 100 percent less likely to have a sexually transmitted disease. Fact 3: The same study found that after 10 fully-realized zombie survival plans, the planner's penis actually retreats up into the body where it plays Nintendo with his uteral mucus plug. Despite modern fiction trends, the zombie apocalypse probably won't involve fast zombies. Slow undead put enough strain on science, let's not further complicate things by pretending that a shambling pile of rigor mortis and congealed blood would have a top speed over two miles-per-hour.
The Day After Stage Personal Trait Needed: Foresight Most zombie survival plans involve barricading yourself up or climbing to the top of a structure and destroying the stairs. Well have fun starving to death in a fog of rotting stench while the dead shriek at you. Above all, you want to stay mobile. If zombies are on the move, a properly-balled person can smash through a small crowd of them. If you let them pack in around you, you're either in a machine gun nest or about to die. It's fun to think of places to loot, but the truth is, once the city's employees are undead, no one is around to put out fires. And if your city isn't on fire, that's because the people who work the flood control facilities are also undead and it's now underwater. Basically, once you hear a newscaster say anything remotely close to "rabies victims" or "the attacker was earlier declared dead by doctors," get the f**k out of the city. You can take the highway, but only if you want to spend three days in traffic and then several years as a living corpse trying to bite people from your seat belt.
LME Stage Personal Trait Needed: Close-Quarters-Combat This is really the sweet spot of any apocalypse--you against a world of zombies. You shouldn't have to worry so much about food if you're out and mobile. Food will be everywhere since no one is alive to eat it. Practically every structure you come across will be the scene of a less successful Last-Man-on-Earth and stocked with their overly ambitious food supply. Don't worry about ammunition either. Even if you were lucky enough to get to the shooting range or the gun store before everyone else thought of it, you'll be out of bullets long before the zombies are out of zombies. Also, if anyone tells you they can stare down an army of undead and isolate headshot targets, keep asking them questions. I have a feeling they also have a 25-inch dick and they once crashed their motorcycle and swear-to-God flew 300 feet. While John Rambo up there is using his gun to call nearby swarms of walking dead, you'll want something more along the lines of a crowbar or a hatchet. They can destroy an undead skull, fit in one hand and are handy for other things like going through doors and barricades. Practical advice aside, you'll really want to make it your own. Get crazy with it. Without electricity or other humans, all you have to do is read the occasional book and kill the dead. Above all, don't stare at your belt and contemplate suicide like a masturbating celebrity. Build an elaborate trap or make a list of objects that you haven't killed zombies with yet. The best final thought you can have is, "That would have been so awesome if it had worked." Robots control when our toilets flush, when our paper towels are dispensed and how graham crackers are made. Our toys have been smarter than us for years: my Tivo knew I'd like
Human Target, my spam filter knew I'd at least want the option of seeing barnyard f*****g and my XBOX 360 outsmarts me all the time. Just now I was playing Just Cause 2, shooting soldiers from a little thing called a parachute that I was pulling along with a grappling hook. Now against human enemies with emotions, their trigger fingers would be too busy reaching for the nearest high five to shoot at me. Well, robots have no emotions. One robot ignored my parachute's awesomeness and stoically calculated its trajectory to put a rocket-propelled grenade in our path. Now think about this: When that AI brain gets put in a real robot, it's going to be 3.7 times easier for it to hit me with a rocket when I have neither a parachute
nor a grappling hook. Which is why I always carry both. Try to beat that with your "logic," robots. The Day After Stage Personal Trait Needed: Fleeing First-gen apocalypse robots are going to be pretty crappy and if you meet one in single combat you'll probably be able to subdue them and use their orifice ports for their original sex function. The real issue is that they control the world's nuclear arsenal, communication lines and electrical grid. It really only takes one self-aware Roomba scuffling across a few buttons to turn the world into half-exploded cavemen. So when the robots wake up, your best bet is to get as far away from population centers and appliances as possible. Don't be a b***h, though. Before you pinch it off and run, let that urinal flush sensor's first sentient thought be "SYSTEM ONLI--KICK DETECTED! DAMAGE!" In the early stage of the Robopocalypse, you're not going to have much to kill anyway. Most of your enemies are going to be software and incoming ballistic missiles. Plus, you can never really be certain whether or not the robots can control things like cars and soda machines, so to be safe, get on a bicycle and go camping. It'll hopefully be days before they finish building terminator robot assembly lines, and you'll be spending that time growing balls. Balls are our only advantage.
LME Stage Personal Trait Needed: Cowboyin' By this point, the few humans left alive are being used to satisfy the needs of Japanese vending machines that still retain trace remnants of their prime directive: FILL ME WITH FRESH FILTHY PANTIES. Since electric vehicles are either controlled or tracked by the robots, you'll be riding a horse. And since robots don't really bleed, you'll be shooting a gun that leaves a fist-sized holes in them like a Dirty Harry .44 or a slug-loaded shotgun. Gaping holes are a robot's natural enemy. Little holes, on the other hand, are only going to help cool their hydraulic systems as they drag you to their panties farm. Oh, and there's a solid chance the robots will pull some s**t where they dress up in human disguises, so before you talk to any strangers, put a bullet in their foot and listen for a clang. It's a stupid way to screen potential allies, but that's perfect. Robots never expect the stupid. Some day soon, a giant solar flare will scorch across the Earth. A meteor is going to slam sun-blocking dust into the atmosphere until we're a ball of ice. We live in a deadly cosmos, and for everyone who isn't a Mayan calendar maker, it's completely unpredictable.
The Day After Stage Personal Trait Needed: Hoarding First we're going to assume you're not directly under the falling meteor or solar heatwave. Now all you have to deal with is the slow march toward death in a world where nothing grows. This is the most depressing kind of apocalypse since there's no common enemy other than existentialism. And when there's no hope of a comeback for society, the slippery slope of morality turns into a waterslide. For instance, would you steal food to feed your family even if it meant another family went hungry? It really doesn't matter, because in the meteor apocalypse, that other family is asking itself the same question, and everyone's answer is yes. It'll be a matter of weeks before murdering a man over a can of chili goes from being a capital crime to a lesson you teach your children. That means you have a very short window to trade everything you have for food and then find a place to hide it. Take note of any people who see you doing this--they're going to kill you soon. Guarding your hoard from determined raiders is pretty much impossible if you're not in a fortified and staffed military base, so if anyone knows about you and your stash, you might as well not have it. That's why it's worth investing in fake mustaches to disguise your canned goods as tiny handsome gentlemen. I should have mentioned earlier that in this hopeless dying world, your mind will be the first thing to go.
LME Stage Personal Trait Needed: Ruthlessness The good news is, if you're an average American, you can survive up to six years on fat reserves alone. The bad news is, you also feed up to one family of rapist bikers. You can't trust anyone in this apocalypse. Survivors will spread out and pick the world clean like an Asian person eating seafood. Most everyone's survival plan will be moving towards the nicest place and stealing everything along the way, so pick the nastiest location you can tolerate and stay there. If someone comes near you, give them bear traps and other reasons to regret their decision. In the ELE apocalypse, there's no real point in being nice. But remember: You're in charge of humanity's last moments of history. Try not to spend them as a rapist biker. Most civilizations capable of achieving space travel could pretty easily destroy another one. It doesn't take a whole bunch of science to push a big rock in the direction of an enemy planet and watch it explode. It's so easy to do in fact, that it would be almost retarded not to do it preemptively if you discovered an outer space civilization first. So if aliens are invading Earth, they want something other than our deaths. Probably our water, but even more probably: our buttholes.
The Day After Stage Personal Trait Needed: Patriotism Our primitive Earth weapons are going to be a problem for them--speeding pointed metal and fission reactions hurt even if you're from space. So the first stage of any alien invasion is going to be a propaganda campaign to discredit our military and our governments. This is where the liberal sensibilities that are so valuable in your chat rooms and college classes will be used against you. Smart, open-minded people consider things from all points of view, and that's like Christmas to an alien mind-control ray. You'll be protesting the war against space within a week, and by the time they're hollowing you out to hatch eggs you'll be thanking them for it. I'm actually saving historians time by calling you a p***y in writing right here and now. It seems counter-intuitive, but what you need to fight off alien mind control is a stupidly unshakable belief that no good can come from queerin' or outer spacin'.
USA! I'm not saying that the alien invaders will be fought off exclusively by religious nuts and SUV pilots. Lots of us will be able to resist mind control. But all the people who can't will combine with rumors that some of us have been aliens in human skin this whole time and then we're too busy arguing to fight anyone. I can settle an argument right away, though: The Alien Friendship Centers are butthole pasteurization plants. LME Stage Personal Trait Needed: Lasers By this point, most human survivors are hiding underground or reconsidering their opinion on extra-terrestrials from the whirling tip of a Cosmoprobe. But by this point, you also have a nice supply of phaser guns you took off dead aliens. And an American with a space ray is exactly like an American sent through time, an American raised in the jungle or an American ninja: invincible. In the year 2000, four horsemen will deliver untold terrors upon us! Odin and Fenrir will start a terrible battle that envelops all of Midgard! Spacelord Xenu will radically restructure our small business financial management methods! Over 90 percent of the planet believes that events like these are predetermined, which is about double the number of people who believe we landed on the Moon, and that's probably true since we taped it. By my calculations, that means a Biblical apocalypse has a double-than-probably chance of happening. Most calculators don't even have a number for something that certain.
The Day After Stage Personal Trait Needed: Education Once the sky rips open, you're only going to have seconds to figure out which religion was right. Your family members will start turning into mermaids and goats, and good luck Googling what any of it means. If you go into this blind, you won't know whether to strip nude and arch your back for the Heavens or take up a broadsword against the frost giants, and a wrong decision either way could really cost you. On a side note: If you get lucky, don't spoil the moment with smugness. It'll be obvious to everyone that you picked the right one, so there's no need to rub it in.
LME Stage Personal Trait Needed: Balls OK, so you got Left Behind with Kirk Cameron in a realm forsaken by its Gods. You probably need to get a Mark of the Beast to buy and sell goods, unmitigated truth sears your Earthly flesh and every song is metalcore. Now, the good news: Your only job and hobby is Final Battle. Most theologists agree that when the world goes out, it goes out big. And that's what you need to do. Decorate yourself in warpaint and doll heads and find a weapon too rad to be effective. A chainsaw on a rope, a bag of infectious tumors, maybe consider replacing your hands with beehives--basically you need to die so hard that when you get to Hades they already have a statue of you.

Karibu to Kenya. My New Co-Workers.
Arrival into Nairobi: 13:30 on Monday, the 31st of May to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
See in the distance: Steven, the driver of the HIAS Refugee Trust of Kenya, holding my name up boldly and smiling.
What is Karibu do you ask?
Okay makes sense; he was waiting for me to arrive for my fellowship with HRTK and wishes me Karibu!
But what I found out instantly was Karibu doesn't just mean the standard. 'Welcome' that you might see on signs, storefronts, and border crossings.
Karibu also means 'you are welcome here'.
You are welcome here in Kenya. Karibu! A greeting not only to say hello, but that I was wanted here in Kenya.
For a moment, I was almost confused! And it wasn't jet lag. Dubai was an hour ahead of Nairobi.
Being both Jewish and American in 2010, 'You are welcome here' is not the normal greeting you usually get in most places. From a travel perspective, when I arrive in countries in Western Europe, such as Spain, or France I almost have to 'ease the pain' and pretend to be from Canada, or the UK (yes sometimes I use my faux British accent). And let's face it… I travel in the shadows when in Dubai, and was hoping no one saw me with my Hebrew Travel Prayer on the flight from Sharjah to Nairobi. (Yes, I did have to pretend to be reading my Lonely Planet Kenya Guide while muffling it under my breath–Sharjah is the Emirate next to Dubai, where I flew out of, and is a bit more conservative. For the first time in my life I was the only Westerner on the plane).
So, after this wonderful greeting at the airport we drove about an hour to the HIAS Office.
I then learned 'Asante' in Swahili means ' Thank you'.
I want to personally say Asante to all my new co-workers below for such a warm arrival in Nairobi.
Wouldn't you also want to work with these smiling faces?

For the last few days, I have been party to three separate conversations about mobile phones and schools, and in the conversations, the only common denominators have been the shoulder shrugs that each conversation has ended in.
The use, or in some cases the possession of, a cellular phone in a classroom is often times a material disruption to the learning process. Let's face that right off the bat. Yes, we can do some truly amazing things with any cellular phone within the classroom, but from a management situation, even those teachers who truly get it when it comes to relevance and utility of mobile computing are irked by students constantly turning their wrists or sliding their keypads out to check for texts. And we cannot blame students for that either; what do most of us do at the precise moment our phone either rings, dings, buzzes or whispers? We reach for it. We are overridden with curiosity, not to answer it, but just to see who it trying to capture our attention. Imagine what that feels like to an adolescent struggling with identity, peer acceptance, and societal norms? Yeah, I am reaching for that phone too.
I just love stopping and asking students to write with their phones. They have such a warm response, like "Oh, of course I can do that!"
For me then, it becomes clear where they have their use, and not for everyone, nor every situation. But think about what Paul did with his students. He didn't ask them to interrupt the flow of their reading to take out pencil and paper and craft a response to a packet question, and he didn't ask them to open up a laptop or move to a computer and find the discussion page on the wiki for that book and add an entry. He asked them to do what they probably wanted to do anyway: send someone a text about what they were doing.
I don't have the full details of what Paul was trying to carry out with his lesson, but if his intent was to engage students in reading and then have them reflect, then re-engage with the reading, doing it through that medium makes sense.
As we look at the inclusion (or as some would say, intrusion) of cell phones into our classrooms, we have to center on Gleeson's point: are they making us more human? Or, as Allison's example more aptly shows, are they becoming invisible?


You've planned everything perfectly for your Memorial Day barbecue, but an entree for the vegetarians has you stumped? No worries: Portobello caps make a wallet-friendly and easy pick when you want to sidestep the burger meat. The mushrooms are meaty (but meatless) and satisfying, making them a go-to swap for even the biggest meat eaters. And since the portobellos are mild in taste, they're incredibly versatile, so you can serve them with the same sides and buns as the rest of the burgers on the grill.
With a hefty texture and a flavorful sherry and garlic marinade, these Roasted Portobello Mushroom Burgers with Blue Cheese serve as a great substitute for beef. Toppings like blue cheese and sauteed spinach deliver bolder results than the usual cheddar-and-lettuce combo.


The Melbourne Visitor Booth, located in the Bourke Street Mall between Swanston and Elizabeth streets, is a great place to find information on shopping, attractions and events, as well as free brochures and maps of the city.
It is staffed by volunteers and conveniently located in the heart of Melbourne's retail precinct. These volunteers are friendly, approachable and willing to make your Melbourne experience a memorable one.


If you are concerned about the ethical and environmental impact of trade, support the fair trade movement, which works to ensure that producers in the developing world get better prices for their produce, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers. Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their lot and have more control over their lives. More information can be found on the Fairtrade Foundation's website.
The Fairtrade Foundation promotes fairtrade and products bearing the Fairtrade label in the UK. Their website includes lists of products bearing the Fairtrade mark, such as tea and coffee, fresh fruit, honey, herbs and spices and even flowers and footballs. There is also a directory of local Fairtrade groups in the UK. Local groups promote fairtrade in their area, get involved with Fairtrade Fortnight and may be able to provide information on retailers of fair trade goods in their area.
The Fairtrade Label is a guarantee that the products bearing it conform to Fairtrade Standards and contributes to the development of disadvantaged producers and workers. It is administered by Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO).
The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is an alliance of companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and trade union organisations.They exist to promote and improve the implementation of corporate codes of practice which cover supply chain working conditions. Their ultimate goal is to ensure that the working conditions of workers producing for the UK market meet or exceed international labour standards.
IFAT, the International Federation for Alternative Trade, is the global network of fair trade organisations. Its mission is to improve the livelihoods and well being of disadvantaged producers by linking and promoting fair trade organisations, and speaking out for greater justice in world trade. They administer the Fair Trade Organisation mark, which means standards are being met regarding working conditions, wages, child labour and the environment. These standards are verified by self-assessment, mutual reviews and external verification. It demonstrates that an organisation's trading activity is sustainable and committed to continual improvement.
Shared Interest is a co-operative lending society that aims to reduce poverty in the world, by providing fair and just financial services. It uses the pooled savings of its members to facilitate fair trade. They work with fair trade businesses all over the world, both producers and buyers, providing credit to enable producers to be paid in advance and to help fair trade develop.
The Trade Justice Movement is a group of organisations including trade unions, aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns, fairtrade organisations, faith and consumer groups. They campaign for trade justice, for fundamental changes to the unjust rules and institutions governing international trade, so that trade is made to work for all, with the rules weighted to benefit poor people and the environment.

ABU DHABI, On 30th March, the UAE will join more than 188 countries across the world in marking the Earth Hour 2019, switching off lights to show its commitment to protect the planet and raise environmental awareness. As global biodiversity declines at an unprecedented rate, coupled with the ever-present challenge of climate change, Earth Hour 2019 will focus its efforts on raising awareness and inspiring action on conserving nature and biodiversity.
From the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House, and the Empire State Building to Burj Khalifa, thousands of landmarks will switch off their lights in solidarity for the planet, to raise the awareness about the importance of nature and encourage individuals, businesses and governments worldwide to be a part of the solutions needed to build a healthy, sustainable future � and planet � for all.
This year is set to be another record breaker, with more than 180 countries and territories coming together to highlight and encourage action on the environmental issues that are most relevant to them.
In 2008, the UAE became the first country in the Arab world to participate in Earth Hour. Over the years, Earth Hour celebrations have contributed to raising awareness about energy conservation.
In the UAE, Earth Hour will draw attention to nature loss and shed light on the importance of living sustainably, whether it's through the use of less plastic, less energy consumption, or conserving water.
As the world is setting to mark the Earth Hour 2019, Emirates Nature-WWF is urging everyone to make a simple change to their everyday life that will help protect our planet.
Emirates Nature-WWF invites the UAE community to celebrate Earth Hour 2019, the world's largest grassroots movement for the environment taking place on 30th March at 8:30 pm, inspiring millions of people to take action and show their commitment to the planet. The UAE has been joining the Earth Hour campaign annually since 2008, highlighting sustainable practices that positively support national efforts in reducing carbon emissions and conserve natural resources for the future.
"In this year's UAE chapter of Earth Hour, we urge each and every resident to take part in this global initiative. We stress that now more than ever, we need to unite, connect to nature and stand together for the planet. Whether it is by being energy-efficient, eating less red meat, using public transport or choosing sustainable products, now is the time to adopt new habits," said Laila Mostafa Abdullatif, Director General of Emirates Nature-WWF.
"Over 80% of people who took part in Earth Hour last year felt inspired to do more to protect our planet. This year, there is no reason why we cannot make a promise to live more sustainably. Our late founding father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's vision long preceded the present-day global conservationists' movement; he loved nature and wildlife and understood the importance of preserving every source we have from nature by putting it to productive use. Sheikh Zayed lived and died with the values of conservation close to his heart, and it is our duty to uphold his legacy every day and not just during Earth Hour," she added.
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, is encouraging the people and public and private organisations in Dubai to join millions of people around the world to show their support for Planet Earth, by switching off unnecessary lights and electric appliances from 20:30 to 21:30 local time.
DEWA has also asked the public to promise to protect Planet Earth and reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming and climate change, on www.earthhour.ae and on social media using the hashtags #EarthHourDubai, and #Connect2Earth.
DEWA has invited the public to take part in the activities that it will organise at Marasi Promenade Business Bay in Dubai from 16:00 to 22:00. There will be various activities to promote environmental awareness and the rational use of electricity and water. The "Earth Hour Walk" will begin at 20:30 with a number of government director generals, officials, public figures, and representatives from the public and private sectors, universities and schools.
Last year, DEWA recorded 323MW reduction in electricity use; equivalent to a reduction of 140 tonnes of carbon emissions.
As the skylines across the nation will plunge into darkness on Saturday, UAE's major landmarks and public and private institution including Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, will also observe the event by turning off their lights during Earth Hour. A series of awareness events and activities will be held in celebration of the Earth Hour.
Etisalat will join major companies around the world on 30th March to mark Earth Hour, the world's largest movement in support of action on climate change.
Ten of Etisalat's buildings across the UAE will switch off their lights and non-essential electronics from 8:30 to 9:30pm on 30th March for Earth Hour.
Etisalat is continuously investing in green technologies and smart innovative systems, in line with its strategy to lead the digital future.
Earth Hour unites people across the world to express their concern over the global crisis of climate change. Etisalat is delighted to be taking part in this noble initiative, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, which considers the support of environment-friendly initiatives one of its most important pillars.
Meraas, Dubai-based holding company with portfolio and activity in real estate, tourism, hospitality, healthcare, technology, retail, F&B, leisure & entertainment, confirmed that it will be taking part in Earth Hour this year as part of a concerted effort to raise awareness in the region of Mother Earth's precious resources that are under pressure and threat.
Meraas will switch off lights across nine destinations including Al Seef, Bluewaters, Boxpark, City Walk, Kite Beach, La Mer, Last Exit, The Beach and The Outlet Village.
Meraas is aiming to encourage visitors to engage with the key message of Earth Hour: appreciate the natural world around you, preserve it and make the most of it.

Courtroom Clashes Seek to Elevate City and Citizens' Rights Over Telecom Company Profits
Alison Leary is deputy general counsel for the League and can be reached at aleary@cacities.org.
Technology has forever changed the world in which cities function. Cities rely on technology daily to operate efficiently, deliver basic services, introduce improvements to their communities and keep residents informed. However, the rapid expansion of technology — by any means necessary — is not without drawbacks.
As cities seek to address those drawbacks through regulation, the industries driving technological advancements are pushing back in increasingly aggressive ways. Two recent examples offer evidence of this trend:
The effort to pre-empt local control over the deployment of fifth-generation (5G) wireless broadband; and
The effort to abolish net neutrality.
These examples also illustrate how the telecommunications industry has pitted local, state and federal regulators against one another, resulting in what will likely be long court battles over the constitutional authority of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In addition, the telecom industry often views local communities as impeding the rollout of new technology in ways that maximize corporate profits.
The Reality of Small Cells: A Not-So-Small Power Grab
While 5G is expected to deliver wireless data much faster and to millions more devices than previous generations of broadband, the role of small cells in 5G deployment is often oversold by an industry racing for market share. In reality, the data and population demands on today's 4G networks have exceeded 4G's current capacity in urban communities nationwide. To meet these demands, a dense network of "small cells" located close together must be deployed in heavily populated urban communities.
To accelerate the deployment of small cells to meet today's cellular demands and reduce the cost of doing so, for the past several years the telecom industry has sought to pass laws — in Congress and in state legislatures nationwide — that would pre-empt local authority over the deployment of wireless facilities. In 2017, the League successfully opposed such legislation in California. SB 649 by Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego) would have given wireless providers the unfettered ability to install bulky cellular equipment in the public right of way without permission from cities and counties, input from the public or fair compensation for the use of local taxpayer assets.
Although SB 649 passed in the California Senate and Assembly, just before midnight on Oct. 15, 2017, then-Gov. Jerry Brown announced he had vetoed SB 649. In his veto message, Gov. Brown said, "There is something of real value in having a process that results in extending this innovative technology rapidly and efficiently. Nevertheless, I believe that the interest which localities have in managing rights of way requires a more balanced solution than the one achieved in this bill."
The telecom industry found a more amenable forum for abolishing local control over the public right of way in the FCC. Despite strong opposition from the League and numerous other local government allies, the FCC voted unanimously on Sept. 26, 2018, to adopt the Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order (WC Docket No.17-84 & WT Docket No.17-79). The ruling and order:
Limit local authority over the public right of way with respect to the deployment of 5G antenna and equipment;
Limit the application fees and ongoing rent that can be charged for the use of the public right of way; and
Shorten the timeline (also known as the "shot clock") for local governments to consider applications filed by telecom providers.
The League opposed the adoption of the ruling and order for several reasons. First, the new 60-day shot clock for reviewing and permitting wireless facilities on a pre-existing structure is far too short for already overburdened local governments. Second, the FCC's interpretation of "fair and reasonable compensation," which the ruling and order set at $270 per small cell site, is well below the market value for such sites, as demonstrated by existing agreements between local governments and telecom companies for the deployment of thousands of small cells nationwide. Third, although there is no question that small cells will play a significant role in the deployment of 5G, the telecom industry has failed to provide exact detail on the benefits of 5G, who will be the first to experience its benefits and what efforts remain to close the digital divide between users.
Because these complaints and many others fell on deaf ears at the FCC, local governments aiming to preserve their rights took the battle over small cells to the courts. On Oct. 24, 2018, the League joined a coalition of other state municipal leagues, cities and counties to bring a lawsuit challenging the ruling and order. The lawsuit, City of Seattle v. United States, argues that the ruling and order violate various provisions of the Constitution, are inconsistent with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and have procedural flaws.
The Abolishment of Net Neutrality: Limiting Access to Public Safety
Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers (ISPs) should enable equal access to the internet. It prevents ISPs from blocking, "throttling" (reducing the speed), degrading or prioritizing content, applications or services. Net neutrality is based on the idea that a free and open internet spurs innovation and helps close digital divides, ensuring the collective success of all users.
The ability of cities and their residents and businesses to have equal access to high quality internet is essential for communities to thrive. Not only does the internet provide citizens opportunities to interact with government, but it is also an essential tool in providing emergency response, which requires the rapid deployment and organization of thousands of personnel and numerous resources. Net neutrality is essential to public safety services that rely on wireless communication. For example, throttling significantly hampered the efforts of Santa Clara County firefighters battling the massive Mendocino Complex wildfire in July 2018, when Verizon slowed the transmission of their wireless data to 1/200 or less of its original speed. "This throttling has had a significant impact on our ability to provide emergency services," Fire Chief Anthony Bowden wrote. "Verizon imposed these limitations despite being informed that throttling was actively impeding county fire's ability to provide crisis response and essential emergency services."
In 2015, during the Obama administration, the FCC adopted rules ensuring net neutrality. However, during the Trump administration, the FCC reversed course and repealed those rules in December 2017. In response, the State of California enacted SB 822 by Sen. Scott Weiner (D-San Francisco), a bill supported by the League. SB 822 prohibits ISPs from engaging in certain activities that affect a user's ability to access content on the internet. Among other things, SB 822 prohibits:
Blocking lawful content, applications, services or nonharmful devices; and
Impairing or degrading lawful internet traffic on the basis of internet content, application or service or use of a nonharmful device.
Hours after Gov. Brown signed SB 822 into law, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit in federal district court, arguing that federal law pre-empts SB 822. Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions argued in a concurrent press release that SB 822 is illegal because Congress granted the federal government, through the FCC, the sole authority to create rules for ISPs.
Vowing to vigorously defend the constitutionality of SB 822, California's Attorney General Xavier Becerra said, "While the Trump administration continues to ignore the millions of Americans who voiced strong support for net neutrality rules, California — home to countless start-ups, tech giants and nearly 40 million consumers — will not allow a handful of power brokers to dictate sources for information or the speed at which websites load."
The League, along with a coalition of local governments, will file an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief in this case in support of the State of California.
Defending the Rights of Cities and Residents
Residents and local communities have numerous concerns related to the telecom industry's efforts to pre-empt local control with respect to 5G.
The need to reduce or avoid the visual blight associated with cellular towers is an issue for residents and cities statewide. Not surprisingly, local agencies want cellular equipment to blend into its surroundings and telecom companies to take local aesthetics into consideration when placing such equipment. The industry perceives this as an unnecessary expense and an inconvenience.
Furthermore, telecom companies don't want to pay market rates to private property owners for placing cellular equipment on their property. Instead, they want to install it more cheaply in the public right of way and use state legislatures or the FCC to cap their costs; however, the public right of way is the public's property — paid for by the taxpayers. Telecom companies should be required to negotiate fair leases and meet local criteria when their equipment is located on public property, just as other industries do. Negotiating fair deals on behalf of taxpayers is a key responsibility of local government.
Telecom companies typically don't make it a priority to provide new technology in disadvantaged neighborhoods or rural areas, because these areas offer fewer customers and thus less profit. Cities wish to avoid this "cherry picking" approach because less affluent areas deserve to have the same access to technology as other neighborhoods. State or federal pre-emption offers one way for telecom companies to avoid this issue.
In addition, community concerns about the need for net neutrality have taken on a greater urgency as California's wildfire season is now year-round. The experience of the firefighters whose communication speeds were throttled by Verizon during the Mendocino Complex fire is still fresh in the minds of many first responders — and such throttling by ISPs represents a serious threat to public safety.
With telecom issues increasingly affecting residents in communities statewide, the League will participate in these court battles to protect the interests of cities and taxpayers. For updates, visit www.cacities.org.

CHICAGO, March 20, 2018 – Juan Diaz, a lead member of the Environmental Services (ES) team at Cohen Children's Medical Center (CCMC), New Hyde Park, NY, has been named the 2017 recipient of the national Hygiene Specialist® Excellence award sponsored by UMF Corporation, a developer of high-performance infection-prevention products.
Diaz was nominated for the award by Assistant Director of Environmental Services Vasilios J. Apostolou CHESP, T-CHEST. Cohen Children's Medical Center, a part of Northwell Health, is the largest provider of healthcare for children in New York. Northwell Health is one of the nation's largest health systems.
The Hygiene Specialist Excellence award is in its ninth year. It was established by UMF Corporation to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of the unsung, everyday heroes staffing ES departments across the country, according to George Clarke, CEO of UMF Corporation.
Diaz's job is to lead a team of ES staff in providing a clinically clean, safe environment for patients, visitors and staff by minimizing the dangers posed by the spread of the numerous superbugs that are responsible for pHAIs.
As a member of the ES team, Diaz participated in UMF Corporation's Hygiene Specialist In-Service Training program that includes learning best practices for effective infection prevention, in-service education and effective hygiene management in patient rooms and all other areas of CCMC.
The Hygiene Specialist Award includes a one-week vacation for two to South Beach, Florida.
In a 2016 TEDx Talk, Texas State University clinical microbiologist Rodney E. Rohde, PhD distinguished Hygiene Specialists as among one of the most important, "behind-the-scenes" professions in combating HAIs and superbugs in healthcare systems and the community at large.
"My mission and passion is to overcome" the lack of knowledge of the unheralded professions so critical in the battle against antibiotic resistant superbugs – through communication, awareness and education," Dr. Rohde told a TEDx audience.
According to Clarke, though mostly preventable, HAIs like Clostridium difficile (C. diff) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can, and do occur in all types of patient and extended care settings. He noted that, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), on any given day, about one in 25 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection.
Leading health systems like Northwell Health have zero tolerance for HAIs. According to its website, Northwell Health has received recognition at the national level from the National Patient Safety Foundation, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Healthcare Quality and the Critical Care Societies Collaboration and at the state level from the Health Care Association of New York State (HANYS). "Our goal is to eliminate infections that arise following admission to the hospital," the hospital says.

Features Hot topics Opinion
Comment: December 2014
By Laura King
Writer Jay Shaw suggested that the headline for our cover story about Ebola preparedness be "Fear virus," because of the seemingly over-the-top angst among first responders about a threat which, as of Nov. 6 when this issue of the magazine went into production, had yet to surface in Canada.
While we left the words virus of fear in the story on page 10, we wanted to make sure the headline on the cover was balanced and fully explained the context of Jay's thorough report.
But Jay's point is well taken: while Ebola is a horrible disease, it's tough to contract and as of early November – save for three cases in Dallas and one in New York – had been contained primarily to regions that lack the adequate infrastructure to mange it.
While media hype is a given – pictures of doctors in full PPE and rows of suffering patients make for great TV – and fear of the unknown is human nature, failing to pay attention to credible sources and getting caught up in overblown and sometimes inaccurate details is easier than doing the necessary research to refute bad information.
As Dr. John Embril, the head of infectious diseases with Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre, told Jay, first responders should be more worried about the thousands of people who die in Canada every year of influenza than about the risk of Ebola.
While influenza can affect anyone, it is particularly hard on young and older people – those for whom family members are inclined to call 911. First responders are not required to be immunized against this known threat that leads to thousands of deaths annually, yet there has been a huge and cry over a perceived lack of preparedness against a disease that does not exist here. Go figure.
Think back a few years to when responders insisted they be among the first to receive shots for H1N1. Or back to 2003 and the SARS outbreak in Ontario. These were real, but manageable threats.
On Oct. 16, after the three confirmed cases of Ebola in Dallas, IAFF president Harold Schaitberger posted a YouTube video in which he called for a safety stand down for Ebola preparedness.
"The IAFF made this decision because too many jurisdictions in the United States and Canada have not adequately provided the training, equipment and resources needed so you can respond appropriately to potential Ebola incidents," Schaitberger said.
But as Embril says in Jay's story, the risk of Ebola in North America is minuscule simply due to already-in-place protocols. The situation in West Africa, he says, where patients lie side by side, is a perfect storm of transmission.
If you really want to protect yourself from viruses of all kinds, he says, get the flu shot, pay attention, and wash your hands.

Scott Bradley (Russellville, 26 november 1891 - Chatsworth, 27 april 1977) was een Amerikaans componist, pianist en dirigent die de muziek schreef voor tekenfilms uit de MGM-studio's, zoals Tom en Jerry en Droopy.

Biografie

Bradley studeerde aan het conservatorium. Naast piano speelde hij Engelse hoorn. In de jaren dertig studeerde hij onder Arnold Schönberg. In de filmindustrie was hij actief vanaf het eind van de jaren twintig. In 1928 synchroniseerde hij talkies (de vroege geluidsfilms) in de studio's van Fox. Hij werkte daarna kort bij Disney, waar hij Carl Stalling ontmoette en samenwerkte met Hugh Harman en Ub Iwerks. Bradley schreef zijn eerste muziek voor cartoons ('Flip the Frog') in de animatiestudio van Iwerks, die begin jaren dertig een eigen animatiestudio was begonnen. Deze tekenfilms werden gedistribueerd door MGM. MGM besloot vanaf 1938 zelf tekenfilms te maken en huurde Bradley in als componist, een baan die hij tot zijn pensioen zou uitoefenen. Bradley schreef muziek voor meer dan 250 cartoons: Tom & Jerry, maar ook Barney Bear en de tekenfilms van Tex Avery (Droopy, Screwy Squirrel, George & Junior...) . Bradley kreeg veel vrijheid van producer Fred Quimby en schreef vaak jazzy muziek die luid, snel en wild was en de actie nagenoeg perfect begeleidde. In het begin gebruikte Bradley fragmenten van populaire en traditionele songs, maar gaandeweg, in de jaren veertig, werden zijn composities en arrangementen steeds origineler en complexer. Hij gebruikte vaak de twaalftoontechniek, die hij geleerd had van Schönberg.

Bradley ging in 1957 met pensioen, toen MGM de tekenfilmafdeling sloot.

News : The new promise of Spanish athletics
The new promise of Spanish athletics
Nacho Sáez has just been chosen the best young Spanish athlete of 2019. Today with him we try to understand what it means to discover at 18 that you can be the best. He answers me with one word: "Humility."
On the right of that photograph appears Gabriel, his father, and on the left Jorge, his coach. And in the center is he, Ignacio Sáez, the 400-meter hurdles athlete of 18 years.
It could be a memory of summer, but really it is a challenge to the future.
A challenge that started when he was 6 years old when his father took him to the running track and a few days later Carlos Peral, that coach who had been a high jumper, let him know:
-If you don't learn to tie your shoelaces you will not be able to do athletics.
It seemed very difficult for Ignacio to tie his shoelaces and that is why this boy always wore velcro slippers.
It was like this until he put the nails in for the first time, those nails bought in Decathlon: nothing was as close as flying.
His coach then stepped forward. For his first communion he gave him "some Nike nails" with which Ignacio would have perfectly gone to sleep and would have scratched the ground of the whole house. His mother would have killed him.
But then the boy did not know how to explain with the clarity that he knows how to explain today:
-The nails invite me to dream.
And then Gabriel, his father, the one on the right of the photograph, appears: a 53-year-old man who was a combined athlete and who later played in the Spanish rugby team, to put life in its place:
-Ignacio, before being champion of your country you will have to be champion of your city.
And invites you not to go overboard.
- I would not like that my son was not humble.
And that is what it is today, to explain what humility is when you are 18 years old, that humility fills pages in the curriculum, to convince yourself that success and humility go together or, simply, to remember Jorge, the coach, that Cuban who is already 60 years old and who Ignacio was chasing with his eyes since he was a child, since he saw him train the older boys of the School and heard that language from a distance Cuban yours, that way of expressing yourself.
"I want you to train me," he said one day as a teenager.
-Very well, but before you will have to tell him to your coach -said Jorge Lozano, the coach of Cuba who seems to have lived all his life at the Base School of Alcobendas.
It was, in fact, at the Base School where it all started, where Ignacio made a promise to athletics without a cancellation clause.
-I want to be an athlete.
On Saturday, at the age of 18, Ignacio Sáez was elected the best athlete of his generation by the Spanish Athletics Federation.
-What has changed that? I ask him.
-Nothing, in reality, has not changed anything or perhaps yes: it has shown me that dreams can be fulfilled, because I did not imagine that it could be. I couldn't imagine it. I didn't know how to imagine it.
He remembered then that day in which he ran the final of the Spanish U-18 championship and committed the recklessness of challenging Jorge, his coach: recklessness is paid.
"I look strong to do 14 supports instead of 15 between the fences," he said before starting.
"I wouldn't," replied the coach, "but do what you want, you have come here to learn.
That day Ignacio, who had the second mark in the ranking, was fifth. That day, before going to bed, he learned that his coach had sacrificed "a medal to benefit the experience."
-How can I forget it? he asks now and he answers himself:
-I have never tried 14 supports again.
Ignacio Sáez is 18 years old. He is, in fact, the ideal age to make mistakes, to discover that "what you don't imagine today may happen tomorrow" and to understand that in this debate that is taking place, between fear and responsibility, responsibility is worth more.
Responsibility does not take days off.
"I am afraid of disappointing myself more than others," replies Ignacio Sáez, unable to hide the illusion, the magic of fresh bread, the genetics he has found green traffic lights.
He had a great-grandfather who was the champion of Spain in 1923. He also had a grandfather who died of cold after a cross in San Sebastián as soon as he reached the goal, according to what his father told him. But even that didn't scare the young man, who is 18 today.
-My father was smart. When he told me, I had already fallen in love with athletics.
And nothing happens because every day you have to go to bed so soon or squeeze every hour of study, because there are moments that compensate and even move like that day when you competed in the Vallehermoso stadium against Orlando Ortega.
-My friends met at one of their surroundings to a giant screen and then they called me to invite me to dinner.
Light years from the end, there are still so many moments like this, so many nails to collect, so much to listen to.
Jorge, who is already 60 years old, will retire but he will never disappear from the beginning, impossible.
The coach in capital letters.
Meanwhile, Gabriel, the father, will continue talking about humility, standing up for it.
His mother will continue to recommend books to read and he, Ignacio Sáez, the copyright of this whole story, has promised not to disappear from athletics until there are no more nails left. Or the body says 'I can't take it anymore' and nostalgia impose its law.
It will be in 15 or 20 years, who knows. There will or will not be a full moon in the sky, but nobody knows what will happen: how far we will have gone.
But what is known is that he, Ignacio Sáez, will never be 18 again and that sometimes in life there is nothing as beautiful as the principles.
Our parents remind us. Life itself reminds us.
