Seattle's 9.0: What happens when the ground stops shaking?
A new book explores what science has taught us about the next big Seattle earthquake - and the toll it might take.
Knute Berger
/ October 10, 2013
An earthquake seismograph.
Bertha the underground tunnel-boring machine began her slow march under Seattle this summer. She's been a long time coming. The Nisqually earthquake hit in 2001 and did enough damage to the Alaskan Way Viaduct that it needed to be replaced, but it's taken more than a decade to get even this far.
The urgency of this work was reemphasized by the failure of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River at the start of the summer travel season. If a truck can bring a "safe" bridge down, what havoc could be wreaked in the next big quake?
Seattle's scenery is part of its allure, but our landscape was shaped by cataclysm. If you sit and sip on the deck at Ray's Boathouse at Shilshole, the pretty views are sobering when you know a little history.
Those Olympic peaks? They were thrust up by a collision of tectonic plates that is still happening in slow motion under the Pacific Ocean. Right off the Washington coast is what scientists call a subduction zone that could be the source of the next megaquake. Magnolia's West Point? The archaeological evidence indicates a Native American settlement there was washed away around 1,100 years ago when a tsunami sloshed about the Puget Sound Basin.
It turns out our region has an underground system of faults that, for millennia, has produced devastating quakes at regular intervals.
Seattle has changed a good deal in the last half-century, but we also know more about the place where we built it, thanks to the work of dedicated scientists who have been trying to understand what lies under our feet. Their work is documented in a new book called "Full-Rip 9.0" (Sasquatch Books, $23.95). And no, the title is not a reference to your blood-alcohol level, unless it's yours after you read the book and tried to tamp down the fear with a couple of stiff drinks.
Written by Seattle Times science writer Sandi Doughton, the book is a hard, fast and compelling look at the potential impact The Big One might have on us and it documents the detective work of researchers as they try to nail down the shifting tectonic structures below. It's recommended beach reading, as long as you know your tsunami evacuation route.
One of the astonishing things you learn is how recently our eyes have been opened to the dangers. The Seattle Fault, for example, which most geologists think runs (in part) from SoDo to Issaquah, only started to gain attention in the 1980s. Even now its full extent and connection to other faults is still being mapped.
Scientists also have dug into the ground, swamps, tide flats and lake bottoms to find evidence of old quakes and their impacts. They've studied layers of sand and debris left from tsunamis. They've counted tree rings in ghost-like underwater standing forests, such as the one south of Mercer Island that slid deep into Lake Washington during a massive quake. They've collected and analyzed Native American oral traditions that have recorded centuries-old experiences of tidal waves and tremblors. Native American storytellers have told of a'yahos, spirits that could twist the landscape. Science suggests they were talking about a real phenomenon.
Quake dangers are as yet unpredictable, and geological time is beyond the scales of politics and budgets. Researchers are trying to learn more with new scanning technologies and seismic sensors. City policymakers are discussing new rules for retrofitting our vulnerable historic brick buildings.
Still, an Earthquake Engineering Resources Institute estimate in 2005 said that a midday quake of 6.7 on the Seattle Fault — hardly the worst that could happen here — could kill 1,600 people, injure 24,000, destroy 10,000 homes or buildings and damage another 180,000. In just 30 seconds. The economic impact would be upward of $33 billion. Doughton quotes an emergency planner: "It's going to be ugly."
It's also easy to be complacent. One reason is that no one can yet predict when the next major quake will happen, let alone one bigger than we have ever witnessed. That might not happen for another 50, 100 or 1,000 years. Or it could happen tomorrow. Until it does, we'll likely continue to enjoy the views in a state of semi-denial, seeing the great scenery of Mount Rainier and Puget Sound, not a future Pompeii.

ANISHINABEK NATION HEAD OFFICE (October 12, 2018)— Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Glen Hare is concerned with yesterday's Supreme Court decision that federal lawmakers do not have a duty to consult with Indigenous people before introducing legislation that might affect constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights.
The federal lawmakers argued that such an obligation would slow down the legislative process.
Interim Lake Huron Regional Deputy Chief Scott McLeod also believes that this self-imposed authority by Canada's lawmakers to forego consultations with Indigenous peoples before introducing legislation sets a precedent that can have impacts on First Nations.
Those amendments reduced government oversight of lands and waters and thus threatened its established right to hunt, trap and fish on their traditional territory. These rights were guaranteed by the Crown when it signed Treaty 8 in 1899, and were enshrined as constitutional rights after the passage of the Constitution Act of 1982.
The Mikisew Cree argued the Government of Canada should have consulted them before it drafted the legislation and before it was tabled in Parliament.

Q: Text Overlap in CSS Just a quick question - I was unable to find this when I searched, but I'm sorry if it's a repeat.
I have paragraph tags enclosing the title of my website:

Welcome to homepage!

 Subtext goes here

  <form method = "GET" action = "/form">
     <input type = "submit" name = "submitted" class = "btn-large" value = "Click button" />
  </form>

and everything is working fine. However, when I zoom in on the page, the words of the title overlap themselves. Is there anything I can add to CSS to prevent this from happening?

A: i dont see any overlap in your code, but a quick fix would be to can add margins to your classes via css to prevent overlaping.
eg:

A: You need to use em font-sizing in your CSS.  If you don't know what this is, this is a really good article on it:  http://kyleschaeffer.com/development/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/
Essentially em is just another way of expressing a percentage but some browsers falter at higher and lower levels of zoom when using pt, px and % values.  Using em mitigates this issue the best.
font-size: 16px;
font-size: 100%;
font-size: 1em;

Most modern browsers will default to 16px font-size as the control and adjust off of that, making the above 3 font-sizes equal to each other (give or take some decimals in Firefox and IE).  This isn't fool-proof but for the most part will get you through these situations.  It's a very widely practiced and proven method of preventing unexpected text and element overlapping.
Also - might wanna look into the font you're using and whether there is any kerning applied and maybe utilize letter-spacing: 1px; and adjust accordingly.
Don't forget to use a CSS reset like Normalize.css.

Aging Population and Importance of Gerontology
by Som Seng-Tiarks
A shift is on in the demographic makeup of the United States. It's not one that's going to stop anytime soon.
While researchers and the media focus on the 60 million young people in Generation Z, the U.S. actually is getting older. Much, much older.
A study from the Pew Research Center found that by 2050, one in every five Americans will be age 65 or older, up from about 13 percent of the population now. The number of those who are 85 and older will more than double, making up about 5 percent of the population.
The Baby Boomer generation is driving this shift. Born between the years 1946 and 1964, they were (at the time) the largest generation. Now, they are nearing retirement age but staying more active than ever.
That's why jobs in aging services management and gerontology have increased in recent years. It's a trend that will continue for decades to come.
Challenges Faced By The Aging
Unlike previous generations, those moving into their senior years are enjoying the benefits of innovations in healthcare and knowing more about preventive actions to take to avoid many health problems.
Still, there are issues that those in aging services management will face in helping those who are 65 and older. They include:
Obesity, which has grown into an issue facing the young and old alike
Dealing with chronic pain
For those with an interest in helping others and a desire to work with older Americans, the field of gerontology offers many opportunities.
Getting Into Gerontology
The term gerontology describes the study of aging and the treatment of conditions associated with aging. For those interested in the top jobs in the profession, earning a master's degree will typically be a requirement. That's why universities have added many degree programs targeted at this specific field.
For example, the University of Massachusetts now offers a Master's of Gerontology - Management of Aging Services. The degree is offered 100% online, making it easier for working professionals to bolster their careers while maintaining their current jobs.
Students learn about working in variety of areas within aging services. These include both long-term and short-term care, as well as overseeing service-supported housing, community service organizations, health services for the elderly and techniques for marketing to the aging population.
Jobs In Aging Services
Earning a master's degree prepares professionals to move into some of the top jobs in the industry. There are currently a shortage of these types of workers in many areas, according to the American Society on Aging. That means a wealth of opportunity for those wishing to get into the field.
The jobs for those with a degree in managing aging services include management of the following.
Home-health agencies
Departments within hospital that offers aging services
Community healthcare agencies
As noted by the American Society on Aging, developing qualified workers in aging services is "no longer a backwater issue." Part of the solution is having more people enter this specialized field.
For those with an interest in providing services to the elderly, it's an occupation worthy of consideration.

A study was undertaken to review the role of vehicle speed in road crashes, speed limits, enforcement and behaviour, and the environment. A review of the international literature was initially carried out to highlight overseas findings and issues identified for further research and development. Visits were also made to a select number of overseas research and government agencies in Scandinavia, Europe and the United States to gain first hand knowledge of problems and research being undertaken in these countries. A meeting was then organised of 45 Australian experts with research, government authority, and motoring backgrounds, as well as a keynote speaker from Sweden, to identify current problems and issues in Australia.


Hi, and welcome to this week's Röki blog.
I've been excited to write this post for a while. Today we're talking about one of the ways we convey emotion in the game. It's something we've been playing around and experimenting with for a while and we've arrived at an approach we think is pretty neat.
'What on earth is he talking about?' I hear you ask, well, I'm talking about voices.
Worth noting before we go any further that what follows is very much our own thinking and process on this matter. Other approaches are of course available. This post explores what was right for us, it may not be right for every game or team who have different goals (or skills). There is no cast-iron 'right' or 'wrong' approach in many aspects of game development, but there will often be a right approach for a specific project, made by a specific team.
It's true that the pen is mightier than the sword, but words can be often taken in any number of ways. Words are open to interpretation and one person may read a sentence differently and take a different meaning, tone or emotion from it entirely.
Now, one of our key pillars for the Röki was to make a modern adventure game with a strong emotional core. Sure, it's a game about exploring the ancient wilderness and meeting monsters, but it's also the story of a fractured family being reunited. We knew that the words were going to be important, but also that there were not going to be enough on their own to get where we wanted.
We knew that to convey emotion in the game, without relying on the player's internal performance (them acting it inside their head as they read), we were going to need to leverage every tool at our disposal. One of these tools is music (and non-linear music at that, you can read more here) and the other is giving our characters a voice.
People (and I include myself here) often skip dialogue (and thus the fully-voiced line) as they are eager to progress the game-play. Therefore the performance may be interrupted, choppy and actually be a hindrance to player in their progress.
But, we knew we wanted to use voices to lend emotion to our game. However as you can see, on the flip-side we were very wary of going down the fully-voiced route.
When Ali (sound designer extraordinaire) joined the team we looked at the big ticket items we wanted to solve on the audio side. The biggest risk was the use of voice over (or potential lack thereof).
Ali went away and did some tests and came back with a number of options. These were all quite different. For example, one used a signature musical instrument to highlight when a certain character was talking (a piano note for Tove, a guitar for Henrik). We all quite liked this approach, it sounded cool, but didn't give a massive amount of emotion.
In another test, when the subtitle line was closed by the player it was punctuated with the sound of the character exhaling.
Even though we weren't getting a lot of emotion from this we all got quite (very) excited hearing our characters for the first time, they were suddenly alive and we wanted to push it further. We then had the idea of expanding this vocal sound, from a simple exhale to library of vocal emotes.
This was our jumping off point and the spark for what we would go on to develop.
We'd seen some games take a similar approach. One that springs to mind, and that I was playing at the time, was Octopath Traveler, but Zelda: Breath of the Wild also takes a similar approach. However, in these examples the emotes can be very over the top, highly caricatured and quickly get repetitive and annoying.
We wanted to see what would happen if we took a more natural, subtle and understated direction, pushed the variety of emotions and tackled the issue of repetition.
To be clear, we're not ruling out fully voicing some sections or key scenes of the game. Just after developing our approach we think we have something quite special that we're super chuffed with.
The idea was that we'd create a library of emotive character sounds. These sounds wouldn't be words or statements. They would be the small vocal sounds that do so much to convey emotion. Sounds like grunts, sighs, laughs, sniffs, snorts.
Wow, this blog-post has turned into a bit of a beast, seems I have a lot to talk about on this matter!
Tune in next week for 'Part 2' and we'll continue to talk about the development of the Emote Library system and where we took it from there.

Medieval Moorish Granada was built on the side of a steep hill leading down to the Darro River. When the Christians conquered it, they established a new town center on the flat land further to the west. Here is where the buildings and monuments from the Renaissance and Baroque eras are found.
Sixteenth-century busts of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabelle of Castile, from the cathedral of Granada.
Granada and the last of Moorish Spain were conquered by Ferdinand, King of Aragon, and Isabella, Queen of Castile, who first united their two kingdoms as Spain and were known as the Catholic Monarchs, in 1492. Once the war was ended, they could use the funds they had diverted to the war effort to other projects, including the scheme of a mariner (Christopher Columbus) to sail west across the Atlantic to reach India.
The glory of Granada is the Alhambra, situated across the Darro River from the medieval town on the opposite bank, an equally steep slope. It was built in the Moorish era as the royal palace for the ruler of Granada (called the emir). But it quickly developed into a small town in its own right, as the administrators of the kingdom and the courtiers moved to work and live near to the emir.
From the top of the Albaicín hill you get a great view across the Darro valley to the hill of the Alhambra.
Likewise, from the walls of the Alhambra you get a great view back to the Albaicín neighborhood.
The Alhambra is an elegant clustering of buildings, courtyards, pools, and fountains.

hills on one side and of peaceful courtyards with pools and fountains on the other.
The gardens of the Generalife.
The main part of the Alhambra is surrounded by walls and gates--it did, after all, need to be defended.
This gate, called the wine gate, separated the barracks where soldiers lived from the royal palace proper.
When Granada was conquered in 1492, even its new Spanish rulers recognized how beautiful the palace was, and used it as their royal residence whenever they visited. At the same time, they also had great admiration for the new Renaissance styles emanating from Italy. Ferdinand and Isabella's grandson, who ruled Spain as Charles I (but is more commonly known as Charles V, because he was also Holy Roman Emperor and the fifth of that name) decided to demolish some of the buildings of the Alhambra to build a new residence for himself. It now houses an art museum.
The Palace of Charles V is completely square on the exterior, and each of its sides is identical.
Nonetheless, the central courtyard in the Palace of Charles V is completely circular, with loggias providing walkways all around the building.
Anywhere else, it would be a lovely building, but in the midst of the Alhambra it really looks out of place.
The highlight of a visit to the Alhambra is the tour of the actual royal palace. It receives so many visitors that you have to book weeks in advance and get a half-hour window period in which you may begin your self-guided tour. We went twice, at night and during the day, and much preferred the daytime visit (things weren't as lit up at night as we had expected).
You enter through a restful open-air courtyard filled with fragrant orange trees.
In this open-air room, the emirs held public audiences and received visitors.

Room after room is filled with graceful carvings on archways and domes (and note that this dome is not the same as the one above).

We hope you can see from our photos how utterly overwhelming is the beauty of the Alhambra.
It was recently in competition as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
During our stay in Granada we drove out into the nearby countryside. On the other side of the Sierra Nevada mountains are a series of hillside villages called Las Alpujarras. These were once bustling towns, but in the aftermath of the Reconquista, after the Muslim religion was banned, the use of Arabic names and dress was soon also banned, and the region broke out in revolt. When the revolt was put down, the population of the region was mostly deported to other parts of Spain.
let out into the plain was built this great castle (below), called La Calahora.

Race Capital? Harlem as Setting and Symbol
Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review
Daniel Matlin (Editor), Andrew M. Fearnley (Editor)
King's Authors
Daniel Matlin (Editor) (History)
For close to a century, Harlem has been the iconic black neighborhood widely seen as the heart of African American life and culture, both celebrated as the vanguard of black self-determination and lamented as the face of segregation. But with Harlem's demographic, physical, and commercial landscapes rapidly changing, the neighborhood's status as a setting and symbol of black political and cultural life looks uncertain. As debate swirls around Harlem's present and future, Race Capital? revisits a century of the area's history, culture, and imagery, exploring how and why it achieved its distinctiveness and significance and offering new accounts of Harlem's evolving symbolic power.
In this book, leading scholars consider crucial aspects of Harlem's social, political, and intellectual history; its artistic, cultural, and economic life; and its representation across an array of media and genres. Together they reveal a community at once local and transnational, coalescing and conflicted; one that articulated new visions of a cosmopolitan black modernity while clashing over distinctions of ethnicity, gender, class, and sexuality. Topics explored include Harlem as a literary phenomenon; recent critiques of Harlem exceptionalism; gambling and black business history; the neighborhood's transnational character; its importance in the black freedom struggle; black queer spaces; and public policy and neighborhood change in historical context. Spanning a century, from the emergence of the Harlem Renaissance to present-day controversies over gentrification, Race Capital? models new Harlem scholarship that interrogates exceptionalism while taking seriously the importance of place and locality, offering vistas onto new directions for African American and diasporic studies.

Vikingverse Series, Book 1
THE ALL FATHER PARADOX
Author: Ian Stuart Sharpe
Editor: Shannon Page
Cover Illustrator: Jeremy D. Mohler
Designer: Shawn King
ORDER THE ALL FATHER PARADOX NOW!
What if an ancient god escaped his fate…and history was thrown to the wolves?
Churchwarden Michaels thought it was just a run-of-the-mill crazy old man who stood in the graveyard, hellbent on studying the thousand-year-old Viking memorial there. But when things start changing and outright disappearing, Michaels realizes there is more to this old man than meets the eye. Now, Michaels finds himself swept up in an ancient god's quest to escape his destiny by reworking reality, putting history—and to Michaels's dismay, Christianity itself—to the Viking sword.

IAN STUART SHARPE
Ian Sharpe was born in London, UK, and now lives in British Columbia, Canada. Having worked for the BBC, IMG, Atari and Electronic Arts, he is now CEO of a tech start up. As a child he discovered his love of books, sci-fi and sagas: devouring the works of Douglas Adams, J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett and George MacDonald Fraser alongside Snorri Sturluson and Sigvat the Skald. He once won a prize at school for Outstanding Progress and chose a dictionary as his reward, secretly wishing it had been an Old Norse phrasebook. The All Father Paradox is his first novel.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/azavea/ashlar.svg?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.org/azavea/ashlar)

## Developing

**Ashlar is under heavy development in tandem with
[DRIVER](https://github.com/WorldBank-Transport/DRIVER) and
[djsonb](https://github.com/azavea/djsonb); currently the best way
to develop on Ashlar is to set up a DRIVER VM and use that.**

## Testing

### Requirements

- [Docker](http://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/)
- [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

### Running tests

Use the `scripts/test` script to run tests:

```
./scripts/test
```

This will run a matrix of tests for **every supported version of Python and
Django**. If you're developing locally and you just want to run tests once, you
can specify the version you want to run:

```
# Only run tests for Python 2.7 and Django 1.8
./scripts/test app py27-django18
```

For a list of available versions, see the `envlist` directive in the [`tox.ini`
file](./tox.ini).

To clean up stopped containers and virtualenvs, use the `clean` script:

```
./scripts/clean
```

### Notes on test execution

- You might see duplicate key errors from the db container; these are generated
deliberately by the test suite and can be safely ignored.

- If your tests crash and leave a `test_postgres` database lying around that prevents you
from running further tests, the simplest solution is to run `docker-compose rm db`, which
will delete the database container and refresh it from the base image. You can
also delete the database container in a shell prompt when running
`./scripts/test` again after a crash.

Bacardi Limited, the world's largest privately held spirits company, has announced the internal promotion of Vijay S. Subramaniam to managing director - Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa (AMEA).
The 49-year-old, Subramaniam is responsible for leading commercial operations in the region for the company's portfolio of premium spirits, effective immediately.
Subramaniam reports to Bacardi CEO Mahesh Madhavan and joins the its global leadership team. Subramaniam will be based in Dubai, pending immigration department approvals.
With the still family-ownded company since 2013, Subramaniam was managing director of India, and most recently expanded his role to lead the Middle East. Before joining Bacardi, he spent 12 years in various general management roles within AMEA working in diverse, multi-cultural environments.
"AMEA represents a once-in-a-lifetime growth opportunity for Bacardi, and our team's mission is to continue to build awareness and esteem for our iconic brands with new consumers throughout the diverse and dynamic markets within our region," said Subramaniam.
The company also announced Sanjit Randhawa has been promoted to managing director of India and Southeast Asia. The company says Randhawa has worked at Bacardi for more than a decade in diverse roles such as financial director for India operations; managing director for the Philippines, and more recently managing director for South East Asia. His understanding of the India and South East Asian markets will enable Bacardi to continue with its leadership in these dynamic markets, says Bacardi.
In addition, Vikas Mittal, who formerly managed West and North Africa, has been named managing director of the Middle East and North Africa, and François Portier, formerly managing director of South & East Africa, now serves as managing director of South, East, and West Africa.
Subramaniam succeeds Alejandro (Alex) Ouziel who will leave the company to pursue other opportunities.

It is not always easy to deal with government agencies. It appears as if a bureau or commission is asking for all your information, including DNA samples. It gets frustrating and you need to be careful. Providing the wrong information can lead to accusations of fraud.
Government benefits are more than cash payments. They can include licenses and other documents allowing you to have certain privileges. There are rules and regulations which govern the benefits and you must be able to provide the right information. It is unfortunate, but some people try to cheat, and agencies are on the alert for fraud. It can happen in the crush of supplying information that you give the wrong data, and that leads to trouble. You can be accused of fraud and the penalties are severe. Group legal plans should help people deal with public agencies and situations where suspected deception arise. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services will help plan members as they work with government.
Service is rapidly becoming automated. Consumers deal with automated telephone service, Q&A pages, and Amazon Alexa. These can be very efficient but cold. Group legal plans that offer pre-paid legal services must remember the human side of member service.
Those who face legal problems can endure emotional roller coaster rides. Legal issues, such as writing simple wills, are filled with personal feelings. Anger or fear are not always calmed by taped messages on answering services.
Libertarians want a world where there is little government involvement in daily life. It might be a nice thought but there is little substance to that wish. Government is a part of our lives and we depend on government services. Not all group legal plans offer help in dealing with public agencies. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services does.
Ordinary folks take for granted the help they receive from government. It might be assistance for a special needs child or permission to add on a room to a house. Public agencies follow a set of rules and public employees will not deviate from those mandates. People get frustrated by all the paperwork. They blame the public agency even though that office is only following the rules. Countrywide gives needed assistance.
Countrywide participation speeds up the process. Our national network of attorneys offers a variety of pre-paid legal services to Countrywide group legal plan members. These are legal professionals who live in the community. A Countrywide lawyer will educate a plan member in the process. The attorneys work with public agencies routinely and know which desk to approach for filing.
Legal documents are unsettling. Language is formal and there are Latin phrases sprinkled through the text. People get nervous about the lease or contract they might be signing. Group legal plans need to have a means of reviewing legal documents. It is a benefit which Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services will provide.
Our nationwide network of lawyers are professionals who are well-versed in the language of the law. They will gladly review legal documents for a group legal plan member.
Group legal plans assist with routine legal issues. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is no exception and we are proud of the benefit options we provide. However, there are services we do not routinely offer. We will provide referrals in those cases.
Holiday shopping is beginning to ramp up. Retail makes its profits between Black Friday and New Year's Eve and stores aggressively push their products. Sometimes, though not often, the goods are defective. People discover the problem after a few days of use. It will cause frustration and anger since no one wants shoddy merchandise. Group legal plans should offer consumer protection services. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has such assistance available.
Not everyone is going to file a complaint. Small purchases are ordinarily not worth the time and trouble. However, appliances such as washing machines, which cost hundreds of dollars, should not be defective. The same is true for laptops and computer tablets. A consumer has every right to expect quality and file a consumer protection complaint if the product is defective.
The end of the year is the time for making healthy resolutions. People will resolve to lose weight, eat sensibly, and get more exercise. There are two resolutions that are overlooked many times and they are very important: drafting a living will and medical powers of attorney.
Accidents and medical emergencies happen without warning. The victim may be unconscious and unable to communicate. It causes considerable anxiety. Healthcare providers do not know the victim's wishes.
Black Friday is the start of the holiday shopping season. People will be flocking to the malls and others will be clicking away on Amazon and other shopping platforms for presents. The retail industry depends on Christmas sales for annual profits and will offer almost anything to the buying public. Some of those gifts, however, are expensive and might get broken. Shoppers will look for ways to repair any damage and consider buying warranties. The best group legal plans will help members with warranty and consumer protection plan to help those people avoid buying bad warranties.
Warranties are promises of help when a product needs repair. A consumer can expect some or all the repair work expenses to be covered. Some warranties cost just a few dollars and others, especially those for automobiles or major appliances, can cost a few hundred dollars. Salespeople will promote warranties to buyers. The sale is easy profit because most purchasers will not use their warranties.
Taxpayers have a right to service and public agencies must provide it. Problems will surface in the administrative details. Forms, applications, proof of evidence and bureaucratic restrictions can all frustrate a person's effort to get help. Group legal plans ought to provide help with government agencies. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has this benefit option.
People ordinarily will not deal with federal agencies; local government is the main contact. The public employees working at the commissions or agencies follow strict rules. All paperwork must be correct and complete.

Q: Wordpress submenu_page variable I'm working on a wordpress plugin for a school project, but currently i'm stuck at one point. I used to have my code on a regular html/php site, not in wordpress. I generated a link with a variable which could be used on the site. How can i do this in wordpress?
My code:
//Adding the menupage:
add_submenu_page( null,'Bekijk Factuur', 'Bekijk Factuur', 'manage_options', 'dnh_facturen_bekijk', 'dnh_facturen_bekijk' );

//Creating a link to the new page (This works with a php function, which includes the page)
 Bekijk 	";

//This is how i used to give a variable with a link
<a href='../plugins/phptopdf/bekijkFactuur.php?lidid=".urlencode($row['Lid_ID']).'

SOLUTION:
Thanks to Sam Aleksov,
I changed the link to this:
 Bekijk

And on the dnh_facturen_bekijk page i got the variable this way:
$value = $_GET['lidid'];

A: If I understand correctly you need to pass GET parameters to your plugin or theme.
If so you can pass variables to your page in exactly the same way as you did in you standalone page:
 Bekijk 	";

When you load the plugin or theme page (dnh_facturen_bekijk) you can lookup the variable in the global request variable or with WP's get_query_var().
The same is true for POST parameters.


Mjesto i datum: Bressanone, Italija, 11-6.2.2015.
Azomethine ylides are 1, 3-dipoles which can be generated from many sources, including aziridines, imines, and iminiums.1 Another way of azomethine ylide generation, which attracted our attention, is photochemical decarboxylation reaction of N-phthaloyl α-amino acids.2 For example, irradiation of N-phthaloylglycine (1) in acetonitrile generates azomethine ylide 1-AY, which subsequently undergo [3+2] reaction with acrylonitrile to form cycloadducts 2, along with formation of N-methylphthalimide (3). Within the scope of our investigation on photodecarboxylation of amino acids derived from different cage molecules and activated with phthalimide chromophore, 3 we turned our attention to potential [3+2] cycloaddition with phthalimide derivatives 4 and 5. However, preliminary photochemical reactions of 4 and 5 in solution in the presence of acrylonitrile gave only simple decarboxylation products. To circumvent this problem, it is planned to use supramolecular control of the photochemical reaction. Complexation of 1, 4 and 5 with various macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins and cucurbit[n]urils, is anticipated to enable [3+2] cycloadditions with photochemically generated azomethine ylides.

There was little fanfare yesterday when Barnes & Noble officially took over the Hill University Bookstore on UAB's Southside campus. The move brings some of the resources of one of the nation's largest booksellers to Birmingham's city center area.
The college announced that the bookstore giant will be providing $25,000 annually to assist students with the purchasing of books for class. The monies will be distributed as scholarships that are being created now.
Barnes & Noble will also spend $600,000 to improve the bookstore's look and technological capabilities in order to provide better service to the university. Students should be able to electronically purchase books at the time of online class registration that correspond with their classes by spring 2008. It is part of a growing trend that has major chains managing college and university bookstores.


Sony Alpha a7S II is a full-frame mirrorless digital camera, one of the interchangeable lens cameras from the electronics and device manufacturer. This shooting device boasts of ultra-high sensitivity, 4K movie recording capability and wide dynamic range, among others. The latest addition to the A7 series, this brilliant camera is an improved version of its predecessor, the Sony Alpha a7s but is more geared towards low-light enthusiasts. One added feature is the built-in 5-axis image stabilization system. Also powered by the same Bionz X processor as the other A7 series models, the A7 can capture 4K videos directly to the memory card.
The Sony Alpha a7S II is an all-black camera with a magnesium-alloy chassis with a lighter body than a full-frame DSLR. Its comfortable grip has a textured finish to ensure firm handling. For a mirrorless camera, it has a compact and robust body measuring 4.7 x 2.7 x 1.5 inches and weighs 22 ounces if loaded with the battery and card. Additionally, it can be attached to an E-mount lens with the user having 13 Sony full-frame choices, third party lenses and a Sony A-mount lens via an adapter.
The a7S II also comes with a Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder coated with anti-reflective Zeiss T*for anti-glare and minimal surface reflections. Also, it has a high resolution of 2.36 million dots that allows setting adjustments and exposure preview even before recording as well as operate even in different lighting environments. For display, this mirrorless camera also has a 3-inch, tilting 1,228,880-dot LCD screen for shooting from high and low angles.
For noise reduction, the Sony A7S II has a 12.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor that works well with the Bionz X image processor that results to an wide dynamic range as well as high-sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 102,400 which is also expandable up to ISO 50-409,600. Moreover, the sensor is also designed with a new RGB color filter array and also boasts of an on-chip lens. Both ensure efficiency when it comes to collecting light to enhance noise reduction and sensitivity.
Another feature of this model is in terms of still shooting. It is capable of continuous shooting with speed at a rate of 5 fps or a 2.5 fps shooting rate with continuous AF while the AF system uses 169 AF points with 25 contrast-detection points as well as nine central AF points. Strategically, these points have been split into 16 segments that enable shooting even in low-light conditions with speed, accuracy and versatility.
Conversely, for video capturing, it is capable of UHD 4K internal recording at 30 fps and 1080p at up to 120 fps in XAVC S format at 100 Mbps with the high-speed resolution allowing for 4x and 5x video recording in slow motion with a frame rate of either 30p or 24p. Aside from internal recording in high-resolution, another feature is the uncompressed HDMI output that also allows the use of an optional external recorder for 4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling.
Among its other features, this camera has multiple timecode recording options to accommodate different workflows while the "Free Run" timecode that allows timecode advancement even while not recording allows for synching multiple cameras for live event shoots.
Meanwhile, for video and image sharing, the a7S II has built-in WiFi connectivity with NFC that can be used in social media, cloud and email applications and the NFC support is very useful for connecting to compatible mobile devices for live view and remotely controlling the cameras shutter.
Other features of the Sony Alpha a7s II include a Silent Shutter mode that for muting shutter sound at up to 5 fps shooting, Enhanced Eye AF, Expand Flexible Spot function, White Balance settings, Focus Magnifier and Peaking functions, and Scene Selection modes, among others. Also, the included battery pack that lasts for 310 shots from the VF and 370 shots from the LCD can also be charged without having to remove it from the camera body via USB.
The Sony Alpha a7S II is an excellent mirrorless camera with high sensitivity and capable of capturing brilliant 4K videos and Full HD videos at 120 fps. Moreover, it boasts of excellent 12.2MP full-frame stills and high ISO 409,600. It also offers 14-bit compressed and uncompressed RAW.
On the flipside, the a7S II can be noisy at very high ISO and is rather costly. It is not also weather resistant since the viewfinder can get affected with humidity.
Overall, the Sony Alpha a7S II is a great low-light camera with some flaws. It is compatible with other lenses and offers stability and internal 4K recording, a feature that is relatively new.

Before looking into the benefits of organic food, we must understand organic food first .Organic food is the food produced by organic farming which practices techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. Although practicing techniques vary from country to country .Organic food uses only standard pesticides which have been tested organically and these pesticides are also used under very limited conditions only.No synthetic products are used in making organic food.It offers many benefits, one of them is that organic food do not contain any kind of chemical during its whole manufacturing process whether it be growing, manufacturing, processing, or packaging. Organic fruits and vegetables are free from pesticides and chemicals making them safe to eat even without rigorous washing .As more and more people are becoming health conscious ,organic food demand will definitely increase in coming future ,since it provides healthy and nutritious food .For non-vegetarians, even animals are given organic feed. Organic food impacts globally, make us free from eating unnatural contaminants by using minimum number of chemicals. This makes food healthy even for growing children and pregnant women,who are usually very sensitive to food products and more immune to infections .They need a healthy and nutritious diet every time. This type of food is purer, fresh and natural thereby increasing the taste and flavor of food. However, organic food normally is priced higher than the normal food, but when health is a concern; we should not bother about the money.

Play and Risk

The Play Cycle Project
Influencing factors on professional attitudes towards risk-taking in children's play: a narrative review is a peer-reviewed paper written by Martin van Rooijen and Shelly Newstead. Based on Martin's doctoral research, the paper challenges the traditional 'risk-benefit' approach to children's play. A literature review is presented which identifies a number of complex and inter-related influences on adult attitudes to children taking risks in their settings. A new model which illustrates these influencing factors is presented and it is argued that these factors should also be examined in professional development opportunities for adults who work with children.

Women Who Accuse President Trump of Sexual Misconduct Are Speaking Out. Watch Here
By Julia Zorthian
Several women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct are giving a group press conference Monday morning to call on Congress to investigate their allegations. You can watch live here.
This is the first time the women will appear together to tell their stories about Trump, according to Brave New Films, a studio that has organized for progressive issues.
Brave New Films did not specify how many women will appear. However, the studio said the women involved in the press conference are some of the 16 who were featured in its November film 16 Women and Donald Trump, which details the sexual misconduct accusations that 16 people have made publicly against the President.
The White House has said the women who accuse Trump of sexual harassment are lying, and Trump himself has called the accusations "total fiction."

On Sunday, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said that women who accuse men of sexual misconduct—including those who have implicated Trump—deserve to be heard.
Watch a live stream of the press conference on Brave New Films' Facebook page here at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Koreas looking to form joint teams in table tennis, swimming at Asian Para Games
ICHEON, South Korea, Sept. 19 (Yonhap) — South and North Korea are looking to form joint teams in table tennis and swimming at the Asian Para Games next month, Seoul's para sports chief said Wednesday.
"We're planning to have a joint Korean teams in table tennis and swimming," said Korea Paralympic Commitee (KPC) chief Lee Myung-ho. "We've discussed this issue with North Korea. It will be finalized once the Asian Paralympic Committee decides on entries."
Lee added that the Koreas also agreed to have a joint parade at the opening ceremony of the 3rd Asian Para Games in Jakarta, which will be held from Oct. 8 to 16. The two sides are also seeking to run Team Korea House together.
The two Koreas have yet to compete together in a multisport event for the disabled. The two sides previously planned to have a joint parade at the opening ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Paralympic Games but couldn't reach the agreement.
South and North Korea had joint teams in women's basketball, rowing and canoeing at the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia. The two sent a joint women's ice hockey team at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

According to the KPC, the two sides discussed the issue during their joint training session in Beijing earlier this month. To boost disabled sports exchanges, the athletes from the South and the North trained together in Beijing from Sept. 3 to 6.
For table tennis, the two Koreas are planning to compete together in the doubles and team events.
"North Korea will send table tennis players Kim Yong-rok and Pak Kum-jin to the Asian Para Games in Indonesia," South Korea's para table tennis head coach Moon Chang-joo said. "If we form a joint team, the two players will play together with our players."
For swimming, the two sides are considering competing in mixed medley relay. The swimmers from the North have yet to be unveiled.
However, in order to form joint teams, North Korean athletes first must be classified based on their physical abilities. For instance in table tennis, Kim has no arms, while Pak has poliomyelitis. If they get a different disabled class from South Koreans, forming a joint team may be difficult.
South Korean table tennis player Kim Young-gun, who trained together with North Koreans in Beijing, said he has big expectations of playing with North Korean athletes.
"They were just like us," he said. "They were determined to give their best, so I think we can create synergy."

That peanut butter & jelly ice cream looks amazing! Thanks for including my donuts!


Author's Note: My favorite series of articles on the internet is Drew Magary's 'The Hater's Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog', where he ridicules overpriced Christmas themed home products with a blend of wit, amusement, and cynicism. As I wait for the upcoming Christmas season (and the Magary's newest Hater's Guide), I have decided to try personifying his authentic, quirky style. This article, its title, and its format parallels the original hater's guide on purpose, but is in no way an attempt to plagiarize his work and original ideas. Please do not take offence, as this was made for personal educational purposes, not for profit. I hope you enjoyed it!
Oh, dear! It's the first guest. I can't have them waiting outside!
Come in, come in! I was just writing a few verses on my monogrammed notepad while strumming my acoustic guitar. Oh, the autumn season – it puts me in such a mood!
Now, I'm sorry you missed last week's pumpkin patch. It was perfectly autumnal: we strew hay over the front yard (USA imported, of course) and filled it with two dozen bright orange pumpkins. You probably saw the pictures on Facebook, yes? Oh, and don't expect to see Martha here tonight. She DARED to bring pumpkins that she bought from the produce section at Fairprice.
Dear friend, are you cold? Have latte to warm you up! We have toffee nut, nutmeg cream, and walnut maple. Just this once I'll let you use my ceramic acorn mug – I designed it personally.
Come, let's take a turn about the room. Note the pine-wood aroma permeating the room – that's the Scandinavian candle I bought last week. Let's admire the dining table centerpiece I've so wonderfully arranged. The miniature pumpkins and squash, pine cones, and the genuine elk antlers: I spray painted them gold myself. Oooooh! I almost forgot to offer you some oakwood-roasted pumpkin seeds. Try them, they're delightful!
Chloe says: This isn't a WANT, but a NEED. My poor Nonna used to make double-leaf piecrust designs by hand until the year she developed carpal tunnel. Our pies haven't been the same since. I can't wait to hand these to Nonna, and put those lazy bones back to work! Also: it's SPRING-LOADED.
Chloe says: Ah, yes, a catalog CLASSIC. The Porsche of corkscrews. You can get the chrome color, smooth design, and futility for $99.95. How could anyone be a proper host without the WINE LEVER? By the way, I am loving the rose gold accents on the button and handle – how subtle and inspiring!
Chloe says: In the months of September-November, it is physically impossible for me to step into the kitchen without sporting my HARVEST PUMPKIN apron and mitts. Oh, you don't own any? How sad. Just look at the pretty little pumpkins with their swirly little vines! Ah, the design is so cute and so necessary. And, in keeping with fall-time propriety, on December 1, these linens are stashed in the closet to make way for my Christmas linens. Oh, you also don't own Christmas linens? Sorry to admit this, but I'm embarrassed for you.
Chloe says: Did you think the wine-serving innovation stopped at corkscrews? Wrong. I won't drink any beverage if it hasn't been cooled by a PRECHILLED WAND. You might ask: couldn't you simply store any metal object in the freezer (like a fork,) pop it in your drink and achieve the same effect? Yes, but I wouldn't want to. I need this shrunken-golf-club-lookin' device swirling about in my glass to achieve absolute luxury.
Chloe says: This is really what we're doing now, huh? Calling a mashed up, sloppy mess of fruits and spices 'butter'? How neat! I didn't think pumpkin pie could be made worse than it already is, but then they went and threw the ingredients into a blender, bottled it up, and slapped a $12.95 price tag on it. I'm definitely buying a dozen for the pantry! These days, I could need a jar of pumpkin butter at any time. And if you catch me eating out of the bottle with a spoon, I can't help it! It's not 'high-sugar' and 'really-bad-for-you', Dad. It's warming.
Chloe says: This product literally saved my life. I was home alone, and a menacing dark figure appeared at my window. Alarmed, I raced towards it, but it vanished. Then, I heard a clanging noise from the kitchen. I reached the doorway, hesitated, and peered inside. It was Satan himself, his cape caught in the clutches of my brand new PROGRESSIVE APPLE MACHINE. He writhed and squealed. Finally breaking free, he fled my estate and never returned. So, overall I'd give it a 10/10.
really funny article, chloe! i laughed a lot!
Ahem. But what if you're too young to drink wine? I assume those luxe golf clubs work for your soda water and cranberry syrup as well, no? Yes, that's certainly what you meant. But the satan-exterminator… good thing a knock-off is on sale at Mustafa Center's Cyber-Monday Extravaganza! I'll be needing a few.
Uh, I thought this was a drew magary article based on the title and format being the same (I had just searched via google). I'm glad you put the disclaimer there but this does smack of a rip more than a homage. I'd be careful.

Love, work and religion on Inle Lake
The residents of the villages surrounding this lake in Myanmar have adapted to a unique way of life on the water
Inle Lake has 17 villages built on stilts and almost 200,000 people living out their lives on the water

On a longboat on Inle Lake (Photo: Kalpana Sunder)
By Kalpana Sunder
I am looking at a scene that I have previously seen on a postcard. Fishermen in conical hats silhouetted against the setting sun, paddling their boats with one leg wrapped around an oar. At Myanmar's Inle Lake, this is how fishermen have traditionally paddled. With visibility affected by water vegetation and reeds, this is a practical skill, leaving their hands free to manoeuvre the cage-like fishing nets. Balancing like graceful acrobats at the prow of the boats, the fishermen submerge the billowing nets, holding them against the lake bed.
Surrounded by the green mountains of the Shan state, the lake is a vast, silvery blue sheet of water, reminding me of crumpled silk. Six metres at its deepest, the lake is 22km long and 11km wide. It is an incredible place that has 17 villages built on stilts and almost 200,000 people living out their lives on the water, travelling on waterways instead of roads.

My resort in Khaung Daing village has rooms shaped like boats. Even the bathtub is boat-shaped and the four-poster bed is draped in a billowing net. The ceilings and floors are gleaming wood. The balcony opens out on to a small waterway that boats chug through frequently. The group of school friends I am travelling with are in adjoining rooms.
Guided by Tourist—a stylish young man dressed in a traditional longyi, who got his unique name because he was born the day his father got a job in the local tourism department—we climb into longboats that putter through small creeks. Other longboats that cross us have villagers with shopping bags, young monks sheltering from the sun under bright umbrellas, and goods covered with tarpaulin.
Ingenious floating gardens devised by the Intha people spread over thousands of acres. Vegetables, like squash, tomatoes and chillies, and flowers grow in these gardens created by dredging mud and organic material from the bottom of the lake and reinforced with bamboo sticks tied together. The produce is sold in markets at towns and villages along the shores of the lake.

Inle Lake is also a wetland wildlife sanctuary and Myanmar's first Unesco biosphere reserve. Many birdwatchers visit it for the migratory birds that travel there in winter from China and Mongolia. I see flocks of egrets and cormorants, and brown- and black-headed gulls screech overhead, attracted by the aquatic life in the lake. Various types of snails and nine species of endemic fish are found here.
I note that the people of Inle have adapted wonderfully to life on the water. We cross villages with houses of timber, bamboo and corrugated iron standing on stilts along the waterways, dotted with satellite dishes and balconies. Women wash their clothes and hair in the same water; children are ferried to school on boats, and yet other boats become floating markets selling fruits, vegetables, even silver jewellery.
We cruise under little wooden bridges and walkways strung across the waterways and past pagodas gleaming in the afternoon sun. For lunch, we stop at a family-run restaurant with a terrace overlooking the water. The table is laden quickly with small platters of local delicacies—from pennywort and tea leaf salads with crunchy peanuts and chillies to piquant curries, rice and crispy rice crackers with a dip.

Back in the boat, Tourist tells us about the cottage industries that thrive in the lakeside villages. There is wood carving and textile weaving, and the making of cheroots. At Phaw Kon village, we visit a unit that weaves special silk from lotus fibres. With the soundtrack of the clickety-clack of the looms playing in the background, I watch women of all ages patiently remove sticky fibres from a lotus stem and weave it on wooden handlooms into shawls and scarves in intricate patterns and brilliant colours.
"The Burmese revere the lotus and the weaving of lotus silk began as a way to make clothes for monks," explains Tourist. In another corner of the building, a group of women make paper from the bark of the mulberry tree. They soak it in water, beat it to pulp, and flatten it into paper embossed with pressed flowers and leaves to make decorative items like umbrellas and lanterns.

But the highlight is yet to come. At Indein village, which we reach after travelling through narrow creeks lined by bamboo dams, we visit two ancient pagodas, one near the boat landing and the other a ramshackle cluster of Shan stupas rising up a hill, built between the 17th and 18th centuries. Some are adorned with gold and silver, others are old and dilapidated, with weeds and trees growing through the bricks. We huff and puff our way up the hill, stepping over fallen masonry, dodging overhanging tree branches and vines. I find the dilapidated ruins atmospheric—crumbling brickwork with lichen-covered statues and serene goddesses on the facades, some cracking open with roots twisted through them. Many of the stupas are being cleared and restored, albeit carelessly, with bright white paint and gold leaf.
There is concern that the lake's fragile ecosystem is threatened by unsustainable farming practices and a surge in new hotels owing to increasing tourism. But tourism is also creating alternative livelihoods and reviving the local economy. As Tourist wonders how long his home will remain the jewel that it is, I count my blessings as I end the day sitting on my balcony, sipping a glass of local red, listening to the gentle lapping of water against the stilts as strains of music from a nearby monastery float in the air.

PHUKET: Phuket's long-awaited light-rail-project and the Patong tunnel project are now both in the stages of seeking investors to join as Public-Private Partnership (PPP) figures, Wilairat Sirisoponsilp, the Deputy Director-General of the Ministry of Transport's Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP), announced today (June1).
Ms Wilairat revealed the news this morning at a meeting held at Phuket Provincial Hall, led by Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong.
The investment needed for the light-rail project now totalled B39.406 billion, Ms Wilairat said.
"This is the total construction cost to build the light rail from Tha Noon (in Phang Nga) to Chalong Circle, to develop tourism and transportation in Phuket," she said.
"The Ministry of Transport has now handed over to the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA)* the responsibility of drafting the terms for a PPP for the project.
"The MRTA will work with private investors and the Phuket Transport Committee to draft the terms in accordance with instructions given by the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (which approves EIAs)," Ms Wilairat said.
"This will take about four months. After that stage is complete, the project will be open to bids for eight months," she added.
Regarding the Patong tunnel project, Ms Wilairat explained that the required investment now totalled B13.917bn.
"Of this, B5.686bn is dedicated to acquiring the land and B8.231bn for the construction," she said.
The overall plans remain unchanged since 2015, with the the tunnel road comprising two lanes for cars and two lanes for motorbikes. The 900-metre ramp on the Patong side will pass over Phisit Goranee Rd to the hill, and the tunnel itself will be 1.85km long (see story here), Ms Wilairat repeated today.
"This project is now also open for private investors, a move approved in May this year," Ms Wilairat said.
"Now we are having the terms of a PPP for this project drawn up and will presented this to the central government when it is done,' she added.
*Correction: Not the "State Railway of Thailand" as originally reported. The error is regretted.
With the lack of qualified planning, engineering and construction capabilities, one would have to be a complete moron to throw one cent at these projects. That's not even considering the lack of fiscal oversight and the complete lack of integrity of Thai officials and construction firms.  With the reputation of this place, nobody with a brain is going to invest in either of these projects.
Great idea, invest your money into something that will be built with the least amount of thought, no project management, years overdue, years over budget, what could go wrong?
The time share developers and go-go bar business would be perfect investors for these projects...simply build bars and condos all along the roadways and they'll get 'er done.
Beware of a foreign Government bearing a gift of massive debt.
Kind of like having a Sri Lankan port project when your not having a Sri Lankan port project.
Oh brother, given the total incompetence with the various and largely unneccessary underpass fiasco around this little island  just imagine the utter chaos they will cause with these massive construction projects! Phuket is getting too big for it's boots.
What about building proper sewage and garbage treatment plants first, before hauling even more tourists to the island??
2: A small Chalong underpass construction, started in 2015, planned to be completed in 2017. Already 1 year overdue. Finish in 2019?
