Rep. Schneider tests positive for COVID-19
'Wearing a mask is not a political statement, it is public health guidance, common courtesy, and simply what should be expected of all decent people.'
Rep. Schneider(Rep. Schneider)
Published: Jan. 12, 2021 at 10:41 AM CST
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released a statement after testing positive for COVID-19.
"Unfortunately, I received a positive COVID-19 test this morning following being tested yesterday on the advice of the House Attending Physician.
Last Wednesday, after narrowly escaping a violent mob incited by the President of the United States to attack the Capitol and its occupants, I was forced to spend several hours in a secure but confined location with dozens of other Members of Congress. Several Republican lawmakers in the room adamantly refused to wear a mask, as demonstrated in video from Punchbowl News, even when politely asked by their colleagues. Today, I am now in strict isolation, worried that I have risked my wife's health and angry at the selfishness and arrogance of the anti-maskers who put their own contempt and disregard for decency ahead of the health and safety of their colleagues and our staff. I am at least the third Member from that room paying the price, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a 75-year-old cancer survivor.
Wearing a mask is not a political statement, it is public health guidance, common courtesy, and simply what should be expected of all decent people.
We can no longer tolerate Members coming to the floor or gathering in the halls of Congress without doing the bare minimum to protect those around them. Those that flout public health guidance should be sanctioned and immediately removed from the House floor by the Sergeant at Arms for their reckless endangerment of their colleagues.
Thankfully, I have not yet experienced symptoms and am in the care of capable physicians. Since driving home to Deerfield from Washington, I have remained isolated as much as possible from my wife in our house and have not experienced other close contacts since my exposure on Wednesday.
This week, the House is doing critical work to protect our national security, our democracy, and our Constitution, moving to remove the President from office after he incited this angry mob of domestic terrorists. I regret that I must take these votes by proxy," Rep. Schneider said.

Second on the grid is one of only two grid slots to have scored on every occasion in Sochi. This grid slot has had more wins than any other, being victorious three times including in each of the last two seasons. Lewis Hamilton is the driver to have won from second on the grid on all three occasions. Valtteri Bottas' fourth place in 2016 is the worst result for a driver starting from this position, as well as the only time the grid slot has failed to give a podium finish.
Along with second, fourth on the grid is the only other grid slot to have scored at every Russian Grand Prix so far. Felipe Massa's fifth place in 2016 is the only time a driver starting here has finished in a position lower than where they started. The position has provided two podium finishes, both runner-up spots: for Sebastian Vettel in 2015 and Valtteri Bottas in 2019. The driver starting fourth has also finished fourth on three occasions.
Alex Albon became the first driver to start from the pit lane at the Russian Grand Prix last year. He made his way to fifth by the end of the Grand Prix.
Points likelihood: 83% Last points: 2019 Last DNF: 2015
The polesitter has won only two of the six races held at the Sochi Autodrom, and hasn't taken victory in any of the last three seasons. In both 2017 and 2018, polesitters Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas finished as runner-up, while last year Charles Leclerc finished third. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are the two drivers to have taken pole for the Russian Grand Prix and won. Hamilton did so in 2014, while Rosberg took one of the most convincing wins so far at the circuit in 2016. Rosberg had suffered misfortune in the previous year, becoming the only polesitter so far to have retired from the Russian Grand Prix, putting a serious dent in his title aspirations for that season.
The driver starting sixth at the Sochi Autodrom has never finished in a better position than where they have started. While Nico Hulkenberg is the only driver to have retired from this grid slot, having done so in 2017, Daniel Ricciardo's seventh place in the first event at the track is the highest finish so far for a driver starting from sixth. The driver starting here finished ninth in every season between 2016 and 2018.
From the six races at Sochi Autodrom, Sebastian Vettel in 2016 is the only driver to have failed to finish having started seventh at the Russian Grand Prix. A podium finish has come from here, with third place for Sergio Perez in 2015.
Four podium finishes have been recorded from third on the grid at the Russian Grand Prix. Having started third, Valtteri Bottas was still classified in 2015, but failed to cross the finish line after a collision on the penultimate lap with fellow-Finn Kimi Raikkonen. Last season, Sebastian Vettel failed to finish the race having started third. They are the only times that the third grid slot has failed to provide a podium finish, with Bottas, Raikkonen and Vettel all finishing third having started here in 2014, 2016 and 2018 respectively. Bottas also recorded the furthest back win so far at the circuit, taking his maiden Grand Prix victory from third on the grid at the 2017 Russian Grand Prix.
The driver starting from fifth at the Russian Grand Prix has only scored three times in the six races held at the Sochi track, with last year being the first time that the driver starting here has finished above eighth place. Kimi Raikkonen and Kevin Magnussen each scored eighth place finishes having started from fifth on the grid here in 2015 and 2018 respectively, while Carlos Sainz finished sixth last season. The two other finishes from the grid slot were both outside of the points, while Daniel Ricciardo retired having started fifth in 2017.
The driver starting eighth at the Sochi Autodrom has never finished in a better position than where they have started. Nico Hulkenberg is the only driver to have not lost a place at the Russian Grand Prix starting eighth: he finished eighth in 2017. Eighth is one of only two grid slots in the top fifteen to have recorded two retirements at the Russian Grand Prix. Romain Grosjean failed to finish having started here in both 2015 and 2019.
Max Verstappen recorded the best result yet for the driver starting ninth at the Russian Grand Prix last season with fourth place. It was the third time that the grid slot has scored, in addition to tenth place for Verstappen in 2015 and sixth for Sergio Perez in 2017. The grid slot has had one retirement, also for Verstappen in 2016.
In 2019, Daniel Ricciardo became the first driver to retire from tenth on the grid at the Sochi Autodrom. Tenth holds the record for the furthest back podium finish at the track, with Lewis Hamilton finishing as runner-up having started tenth in 2016.

The driver starting eleventh at the Russian Grand Prix has never failed to finish the race. Eleventh has scored two fifth place finishes in 2014 and 2015, while Sergio Perez became the third driver to score from this position in 2019 with seventh place.
Though twelfth on the grid has never retired from the Russian Grand Prix, no one has scored from this grid slot since 2016. Sergio Perez and Jenson Button both finished tenth in 2014 and 2016 respectively, while Felipe Nasr recorded the best finish so far from this grid slot with sixth in 2015.
No retirements have been recorded from fourteenth on the grid at the Russian Grand Prix. The driver starting here has scored three times, with a best finish of sixth for Fernando Alonso in 2016.
Two points finishes have been recorded from thirteenth on the grid at Sochi Autodrom. Jenson Button in 2015 and Kevin Magnussen in 2019 both picked up two points with a ninth place finish. Nico Hulkenberg's retirement in 2016 is the only time a driver starting here has failed to finish the Russian Grand Prix.
Points likelihood: 33% Last points: 2016 Last DNF: 2017 (DNS)
The driver starting fifteenth has scored points twice at the Russian Grand Prix. Felipe Massa recorded the best finish from this grid slot in 2015 with fourth place, while Romain Grosjean finished eighth in 2016. Though there have been no DNFs from this grid slot, Fernando Alonso recorded a DNS having been scheduled to line up fifteenth in 2017.
The driver starting seventeenth has retired in each of the last two seasons. Pierre Gasly was out in 2018, while George Russell failed to finish last season. The position has recorded one points finish, a seventh place for Kevin Magnussen in 2016.
Last year, Robert Kubica became the first driver to record a retirement from eighteenth on the grid. In 2018, Daniel Ricciardo became the first driver to score from this grid slot, as he finished sixth for Red Bull on a great recovery drive.
Nineteenth on the grid at the Russian Grand Prix has supplied one points finish, a fifth place for Max Verstappen in 2018. Two drivers have recorded retirements from here, Kamui Kobayashi in 2014 and Romain Grosjean in 2017.
Points likelihood: 0% Last points: – Last DNF: 2017
Sixteenth is one of only two grid slots to have never scored at the Russian Grand Prix. The best finish for a driver starting here is fourteenth, which was scored by both Fernando Alonso in 2018 and Pierre Gasly in 2019. Both Marcus Ericsson and Jolyon Palmer were eliminated in first lap crashes having started from sixteenth in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
Points likelihood:0% Last points: – Last DNF: 2018
The best finish for a driver starting twentieth at this track is fourteenth, which Stoffel Vandoorne took in 2017. Pascal Wehrlein's eighteenth place in 2016, in which he finished two laps down on the leader, is the only other time the driver starting here has finished the event. Twentieth has more DNFs in Sochi than any other grid slot, and is the first position to have had three retirements. Max Chilton, Carlos Sainz and Brendon Hartley are the three drivers to have had their races ended early after starting from this slot. Due to Alex Albon's pit lane start, the twentieth grid slot was left vacant for the first time last season.

The application asks several questions; to include, "Do you deal in or exchange currency for your customer?" and "Does your business accept funds from customers and send the funds based on customers' instructions (Money Transmitter)?" Karpeles answered these questions "no," indicating that Mutum Sigilum LLC does not deal in or exchange money, and that it does not send funds based on customer instructions. Money transmitting businesses are required by 31 USC section 5330 to register as such with FinCEN. According to FinCEN records on May 6, 2013, neither Mt. Gox nor the subsidiary, Mutum Sigilum LLC, is registered as a Money Service Business.
Oh, and please don't send me emails telling me that I don't understand how currencies work. It seems that the folks at Mt.Gox are the ones who need to study up in that area. (Disclaimer: I know that Mt.Gox is NOT Bitcoin, they are merely the biggest Bitcoin dealer in the world, handling 80% of all trades).
So you as a merchant want to take Bitcon, er, "Bitcoin", right? You want to put your money into this "currency" -- right?
Um, you might want to think about that again: The Department of Homeland Security appears to have shut down the ability to use Dwolla, a mobile payment service, to withdraw and deposit money into Mt. Gox, a Bitcoin trading platform. A Dwolla representative confirmed the move to Betabeat. Chris Coyne, cofounder of OKCupid, posted a screenshot of an email he received from Dwolla, stating that due to recent orders from the Department of Homeland Security, Dwolla cannot complete the bank transfer to Mt. Gox.
...FACT: The only "rights" you have are those that you are willing to enforce by whatever means are necessary in favor of every citizen equally.
Everything else is a privilege and privileges can be withdrawn at any time by the entity that granted them. Since the list of those rights that you, the sheeple, are willing to enforce is in fact the empty set because at best you demand claimed "rights" for yourself but you refuse to enforce them for everyone or even worse, you demand that government prohibit for others the same freedoms you demand for yourself, you in fact ownnothing, all the way up to and including your own body.
That, by the way, includes so-called "money" you claim you "invested" in Bitcon.
Ha! I never watch SouthPark. But I did see that episode.
Nobody hates competition more than the government!

Home Commercial Property Blog Off-the-plan buyers: You are safer than you think!
What is an 'off the plan' contract'?
An off the plan contract is one for the sale of a piece of land that does not have a separate title at the time the contract is entered into. These contracts are usually used to presell land lots or strata units before building can commence. Normally a buyer will pay a deposit while waiting for the developer to complete registration of the land before the contract can be completed.
What is a 'sunset clause'?
Sunset clauses allow these kind of 'off the plan contracts' to be terminated in the event that the development or registration isn't finalised. It is a clause in the contract that will rescind the agreement if the registration is not finalised by the 'sunset date'. The date is usually considered the latest date by which the registration will be complete.
Were bad things happening under the old legislation?
There were concerns that some developers were using 'sunset clauses' as a way of terminating an off the plan contract in order to line their own pockets. There had been reports of developers delaying projects so that this clause could be activated giving them an opportunity to sell at a higher price should the market be on the improve which meant buyers would potentially lose all of their legal and conveyancing expenses.
A new section is now in the Conveyancing Act 1919 that aims to prevent developers from unreasonably rescinding a contract under a sunset date clause. A developer must now give a buyer 28 days notice prior to rescinding under a sunset clause and must give reasons why. Now the developer will only be able to successfully rescind a contract if they have written consent from the buyers, an order from the Supreme Court permitting rescission or the reason for the rescission comes within a category permitted by regulation (however no regulations have been made yet).

Saints' Kamara focused on his health and team, not contract
Posted: Aug 10, 2020 / 06:34 PM MDT / Updated: Aug 10, 2020 / 06:34 PM MDT
NEW ORLEANS (AP)Saints running back Alvin Kamara asserts that he is focused on his health and his team – and is trying not to think about the fact that he has one season left under contract.
"My main focus this offseason was getting back healthy. I had a rocky year last year dealing with injuries, so I've dealt with that, got back healthy and I'm here now," Kamara said Monday during a video conference at Saints training camp.
"I'm not concerned with contract talks at all. Me and my agent talked briefly about it and I told him, I said, 'Don't tell me anything about a contract until it's like something where it's happening or it's something that I need to know.," Kamara continued. "I don't talk upstairs (to the front office) about contracts. I don't talk to coaches about contracts. I'm just here to do my job."
The versatile Kamara, who is entering his fourth pro season out of Tennessee, gained 1,330 yards from scrimmage last season with five touchdowns rushing and one receiving. While Kamara's total offensive yards ranked 12th among NFL running backs, it fell below the standard he set when he was 2017 offensive rookie of the year (1,554 yards and 13 TDs) and in his even more productive second season (1,592 yards and 18 TDs).
But Kamara missed two games last season because of a knee injury at Jacksonville in mid-October that he said hindered him for the rest of the season. He also played through a separate ankle injury.
"Came back, tried to play as best I could. Tried to manage it throughout the week. Our training staff did the best they could," said Kamara, who added that he was able to rehabilitate the injury this offseason without undergoing surgery. "I tried to put my best product out on the field. Sometimes it was enough. Sometimes it wasn't but, you know, I just didn't want to let my team down."
Kamara said the knee injury affected his speed, lateral movement, stability and even his confidence.
"Last year was a lot of: Get what I can get and go down. Don't do too much because I could possibly hurt my knee more or it's too painful to even think about making another move," Kamara said.
He also recalled being so frustrated that some teammates let him know it was affecting his body language on the field – and he said he regrets that.
"At times, there were situations were, in my head, I'm like, `I shouldn't be out here,"' Kamara recounted. "Obviously, not being able to move my leg how I want to, there was times where my body language was terrible – and I know it."
Kamara's outward appearance of unhappiness last season – combined with the fact that Carolina do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey received a four-year contract extension worth $64 million last April – begged the question of whether the Saints' star running back might hold out for an extension this season. After all, Saints receiver Michael Thomas did so a year ago and was rewarded with a five-year, $100 million extension.
So far, general manager Mickey Loomis has declined to discuss contract talks with Kamara or his agent, Damarius Bilbo.
But Kamara doesn't sound inclined to hold out. He could regret that if he struggles with injuries again this season. But if he has another strong campaign, it might drive up his value.
"I bet on myself every year," Kamara said, adding that his contract situation is "just not something that's on the forefront of my day. It's not something I wake up thinking about.
"With team success comes individual success, so that's been what I'm focused on."
Kamara said that in addition to an offseason training regimen meant to enhance his lower body strength and stability, he has adopted more of a vegetarian diet while also cutting back on sugar and sodium.
"I feel good," Kamara said. "I'm excited about getting back to playing how I know I can play."

A WORD FROM SHANE W. EVANS:
"My books cover a broad range of subjects and styles and appeal to all ages. I've been doing school and library presentations for many years, throughout the United States and the world. Everyone has fun and leaves the interaction with a greater enthusiasm for drawing, writing, reading books, and the power of the imagination."
PROGRAMS:1) 45 minutes to 1hour plus: Evans has a fundamental program that is comprised of a slide show as well as an accompanying talk. The slides are from his travels throughout the world - Japan, Europe, and West Africa. The slides help one visualize the evolution of his work as an artist and the evolution of Evans as a person through travel. Having attended a workshop in West Africa with artists from all over the world, the influence on his art was profound. Evans shows how it helped propel him into the children's book world and illustration. Evans has found that children of all ages can relate to the visuals and he gears the talk to the age group with which he is speaking. The talks generate a great deal of excitement, inspiration and a number of wonderful questions from participants. In addition, Evans talks about the origins of his drawing interest, the power of the imagination, the importance of reading and creativity, how books are illustrated and published. During a visit, Evans is available for autographing and conversation.
2) (THIS IS AN OPTION) 30 to 45 minutes: For younger children Evans has done some drawing demonstrations and small workshops in addition to shorter slide presentations that show his work process. Programs for all audiences, from kindergarten to parents and everyone in between, are also available. Evans enjoys mixed groups of adults and children and always gears presentations to the specific audience. Length: Programs run from 30 minutes to a full hour, including questions.
AUDIENCE SIZE: Evans works with audiences of any size. Small groups have the advantage of intimacy and individual rapport, but Evans has also found that he can make an auditorium of 200 plus feel engaged and involved. It is best to have a group of no less than 30, and to have the kids grouped by age. Large groups up to 100 seem to work well. If the auditorium has effective media presentation space and equipment, larger groups can be accommodated.
Evans suggests contacting a local bookstore in your area to order books. They tend to have links to all of his books and this helps build other community relationships. Contact Evans' studio to see what books are available directly through the artist: CONTACT: info@shaneevans.com. Pre-ordering books through the studio allows the artist to pre-sign books for students, faculty and parents, which makes for a better visit.
Fees may vary based on audience size and time requirement. For public and private schools the basic honorarium is $1500 for the day. This includes 2 presentations, questions, and a book signing. Evans will do a maximum of 3 presentations in one day for $2,000. Charges for travel expenses are not included in this price. In these days of tight budgets, it can be helpful for some schools to split a day with another school, booked simultaneously and coordinated by one of the sites. Don't let fees scare you away from requesting information. Mr. Evans's main objective is to inspire and bring creativity and all requests will be considered. Request form. Presentation Set-up/Equipment Needs
1) A slide projector
2) A big screen
3) (Optional) VHS & TV. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your particular needs, call Yukie D. Heard at 816-298-6371, or e-mail info@shaneevans.com (www.shaneevans.com).

Q: how koa.js yield next works? I have the following code in koa.js
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
var mysql = require('mysql');

app.use(function *(next) {
  console.log('A');
  yield next;
  console.log('E');
});

app.use(function *(next) {
  console.log('B');
  yield next;
  console.log('D');
});

app.use(function *(next) {
var rowCount;
  console.log('C');
  var connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host     : 'localhost',
    user     : 'root',
    password : 'pass',
    database : 'db1'
  });

  connection.connect();

  connection.query('SELECT * from itemcategory', function(err, rows, fields) {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log('The solution is: ', rows);
    rowCount = rows;
    console.log('The rowCount is: ', rowCount);
  });

  this.body = "we are good!.." + rowCount ;
  connection.end();

});

app.listen(3000);

The rowCount variable prints undefined in the browser. But inside the connection.query it prints all the rows.
Also the output in the console is
PS J:\proj\pg> node --harmony  .\app.js
A
B
C
D
E
The solution is:  [ { categoryno: 0, categoryname: 'PESTICIDES', categorystatus: 0 },
  { categoryno: 1, categoryname: 'SEEDS ', categorystatus: 0 },
  { categoryno: 2, categoryname: 'FERTILIZERS', categorystatus: 0 },
  { categoryno: 3, categoryname: 'OTHERS', categorystatus: 0 } ]
The rowCount is:  [ { categoryno: 0, categoryname: 'PESTICIDES', categorystatus: 0 },
  { categoryno: 1, categoryname: 'SEEDS ', categorystatus: 0 },
  { categoryno: 2, categoryname: 'FERTILIZERS', categorystatus: 0 },
  { categoryno: 3, categoryname: 'OTHERS', categorystatus: 0 } ]

As per the example in Koa it should print the rows and then only D and E, but the db rows are printed after D and E.
If the db code is removed then it prints in the correct order. I am running with harmony flag.
Please tell me what is the problem?

A: Your running the query asynchronously with a callback, which isn't the way you would want to do this in koa.
You want to either use a library that supports promises or thunks or you can wrap the library your using so that it returns a promise or a thunk.
Then you would yield the query, which pauses the execution of the function until a result is return, then the function continues from where it was paused with the result of the query available.
For your example you should consider the following library:
I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, but it looks reasonable at a glance.
https://github.com/sidorares/mysql-co
This library is a wrapper over the mysql library that is yield-able.
So your code would look like this:
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
var mysql = require('mysql-co');

app.use(function *(next) {
  console.log('A');
  yield next;
  console.log('E');
});

app.use(function *(next) {
  console.log('B');
  yield next;
  console.log('D');
});

app.use(function *(next) {
var rowCount;
  console.log('C');
  try{
    var connection = mysql.createConnection({
      host     : 'localhost',
      user     : 'root',
      password : 'pass',
      database : 'db1'
    });

    var result = yield connection.query('SELECT * from itemcategory');
    console.log(result);

    this.body = "we are good!.." + result.rows ;
    connection.end();
  }
  catch(err){
    // handle any errors here
  }
});

app.listen(3000);

text: Education Week - January 30, 2013 - (Page 8) 8 EDUCATION WEEK n JANUARY 30, 2013 n www.edweek.org FOCUS ON: CAREER READINESS Internships Help Students Prepare for the Workplace Job shadowing also a tactic schools use for career readiness By Caralee Adams Internships and job shadowing offer a close-up look at life in the workplace, yet some high school students are so focused on academics that they pass up the opportunity, or they are uncertain about their interests and don't know where to start. But the push to improve college and career readiness and produce a better-prepared workforce is increasing the pressure on schools to build partnerships with businesses. What's more, educators realize that students are motivated when they see the relevance of what they are learning. "The central goal is to get students out of the classroom and into the real world so they can feel and see the entire work process," said Randy McPherson, a counselor at Trezevant Career and Technology Center in Memphis, Tenn., and the American School Counselor Association's counselor of the year in 2011. "Otherwise, they don't really grasp what a day looks like or what a job entails." While there is no agency tracking trends with internships, interesting models are being used across the country, and students often find the work exposure enlightening—even life-changing. Internships can be set up in various ways. Some are offered in the summer, some on evenings or weekends or during part of the school day. They can last a few weeks or more than a year. Many are unpaid, but some offer a paycheck or grant school credit for the work. With job shadowing, students typically spend a few hours or a full day on a job site to learn about a profession. Whatever the structure, a work experience can confirm, or rule out, a career choice. It can also help students cope with mistakes when the stakes aren't so high, as later in life. Learning on the Job Alex Carroll worked last fall as an unpaid intern at a golf course near his home in Searsport, Maine. The high school senior has a passion for the sport and was considering it as a career, along with mechanical engineering. The golf pro showed him the business side and how to maintain the course. "I knew a lot of money went into it, but I didn't realize how much. And I didn't realize how much was needed to care for the fairways," said Mr. Carroll, who had to write a weekly blog about his experience for school. After the internship, he decided a two-year golf college wasn't for him. Instead, he's applying to colleges, including the University of Maine, and may try to play golf there. Recognizing the value of workplace exposure, Mr. Carroll's teacher, Kathleen Jenkins of Searsport District High School, has expanded internships and jobshadowing programs with local businesses, including a solar-energy company, jewelry store, newspaper, and plumbing firm. Internships at Searsport, like at many high schools, are unpaid. And that can be a barrier for the teenagers who need to earn money to make ends meet or save for college. But Garrett Miller, a New Jerseybased workforce-productivity coach and the author of 2012's Hired 'Right' Out of College, encourages students not to rule something out because it doesn't pay. "You are being paid in experience," he said. "A recruiter looking at a résumé never asks how much were you getting paid. ... If it looks interesting, he just says, 'Tell me about that.'" With all the emphasis on grades and college, schools have fostered an "elite" attitude that doesn't always embrace workplace experience, according to Bill Coplin, a professor of public affairs at Syracuse University, in New York, and the author of 10 Things Employers Want You to Learn in College, published in 2012. In addition to academics, students need to develop a work ethic, communication skills, and the ability to work on a team. The high school curriculum is "traditional and very narrow," said Mr. Coplin, which particularly hurts low-achieving students who may not be pursuing a four-year degree but need to develop career skills. It can be difficult to persuade students to take the time for an internship or job-shadowing day, especially those in Advanced Placement classes, and increasingly, many don't want to work for free, said Cara Kirby, the senior careerexperience specialist for the Fairfax County district in Virginia. "They are scared to miss one day of school, even though the opportunity could change their lives. It's a challenge," she said. Polishing Up Students The more successful internship programs make workplace expectations clear to students. "You have to work with students to [help them] understand there is an appropriate dress, way to act, and address people," said Mr. McPherson of the Trezevant center. In Fairfax County's hospitality program, Pat Edwards teaches juniors and seniors the basics of the industry in the classroom before CD Included NEW BOOK FROM EDUCATION WEEK PRESS & JOSSEY-BASS Robert S. Peterkin | Deborah Jewell-Sherman -Sherman Laura Kelley | Leslie Boozer | EDITORS RS difference in the lives of each child, Every Child Every Classroom Every Day every day, by being knowledgeable h about and driven by what happens in SCHOOL LEADERS WHO ARE MAKING EQUITY A REALITY Edited by the co-directors of the Harvard Urban Superintendents Program, this book explores the ways in which superintendents can make a the classroom.

One of her seniors, Jermane Whyte, was in an all-day orientation at the Ritz Carlton, Tysons Corner this past fall when he pulled out his cellphone during some down time to text his father. He also missed about a quarter of his internship days the first semester because of conflicts with college interviews and other activities. The hotel supervisor called Ms. Edwards, who then talked with her student to reinforce the rules. Looking back, Mr. Whyte, 17, said he recognizes his mistakes and is more aware now of his conduct. He continues to intern at the Ritz and has enjoyed rotating among various positions, from the front desk to security. "I had no prior work experience," he said. "This has opened my eyes to work life and team building." Talking It Over What's missing from many work experiences in high school is time to reflect, said Mr. Miller. To get the most out of an internship, students should talk about what they enjoyed, what they didn't, and how that translates into their next move, he said. At Children's Hospital of Colorado, Stacey Whiteside holds weekly group debriefing sessions for interns. "They may see something hard emotionally or physically, and this is where they need to be talking about it. And they are assigned a mentor on the unit," said Ms. Whiteside, who coordinates the hospital's high school internship program aimed at underrepresented minority students. More than 200 students in Denver apply for the 25 positions in the hospital's two-year, paid Medical Career Collaborative, which includes training, monthly field trips, and internships. At the end of the program, students give a formal presentation to a group of about 70 hospital staff and family members about their experience. "Many families are blown away by seeing their student in a professional role," said Ms. Whiteside. "They have not seen that side of them, and it helps the families buy into college." Former hospital intern Chisom Agbim is a second-year medical student at the University of Colorado. In 2006, she worked alongside a nurse in the emergency room at Children's Hospital and says it solidified her career choice. "It was exciting to be able to see what was going on … to see how the whole team works," said Ms. Agbim, who noted that the experience gave her a different impression than what she had imagined from watching episodes of the drama "ER" on television. "I had a more realistic sense of what patients are like and what physi- cians can do." Now 23, Ms. Agbim says she understands it was rare to get a hands-on opportunity in medicine as a high school student, while she knew of others who just volunteered and got stuck shelving books. Clarifying Responsibilities To help students, mentors, and employers understand their responsibility in an internship, Ms. Jenkins of Maine has all parties sign a contract. "It makes it clear who is accountable for what," she said. Once, Ms. Kirby of Fairfax sent three students to a job site and the chief executive officer asked them to sweep. "They were furious," she recounts. After later talking with the ceo, she learned he had started at the company by sweeping and was trying to convey that to the students. "Even if it is not ideal, you still have to be respectful," said Ms. Kirby. In Lincoln, Neb., all students at Northeast High School take a career course that includes jobshadowing, and next fall, it will be expanded from one quarter to a semester of instruction. "Every student is required to do jobshadowing. It's the only way for students to make a good decision and be confident in their career decision," said Ruth Lohmeyer, a counselor and the counseling team leader, recently named 2013 School Counselor of the Year by the asca. The district has increased its emphasis on working with the business community, and Ms. Lohmeyer has found employers receptive. "People like to talk about their occupations," she said. The push to make business connections is also fueled by efforts to stem the brain drain from Nebraska and keep graduates working in the area. As a teenager in Pennsylvania, Meagan Phelan toured a manufacturing plant, bank, and hospital as part of her mother's goal to introduce her to a variety of careers. "It created in me this curiosity," said Ms. Phelan. Learning how various professionals arrived at their jobs was liberating for her because she realized there were many paths to take with a degree. After studying biology and Spanish in college, she went on to get a master's in science writing and now works as a writer for a firm in Boston, as well as a columnist for the website Prepped & Polished. "Everyone is working hard to get good grades in high school and studying for the sat," she said. "But not everyone is interning, and so many get to college undecided."

(Ayya) Tathaaloka Theri several years ago, with the aspiration to make a forest meditation hermitage for Theravada bhikkhunis (fully ordained female monastics) like-minded women and friends.
This aspiration has become a reality through inspired leadership, the friendship of the Bhikkhu Sangha, the commitment of monastic women, and the help of many kind and generous donors.
We welcome your time at our forest hermitage.
The Theravada Bhikkhuni Sangha is still in its tender stage. Only a few (but growing number) of the newly-revived Theravada Bhikkhuni Sangha have acquired the spiritual power that comes from decades of monastic training, and there are not yet so many practice communities for women seeking to enter monastic life. We aim to offer time for deeply needed inner development through the recluse practice of the Buddha's teachings at our forest hermitage.
Our simple daily program is intended to provide some structure, along with time and space for individual practice. Exact hours vary according to the seasons, with communal practice in our Dhammasala yurt when it's cool or rainy, and outside when fair. Occasional busy days for outside errands or projects are followed by light, silent days.
In complement to our hermit practice in the Awakening Forest, there is an option to join monthly new moon day-long retreats at our monastery in Penngrove, alms round in Sebastopol twice a month, and lunar quarter visits to our local bhikkhu monastery.
Lay visitors and those in the early stages of monastic training are expected to attend all communal activities, with more flexibility for those bhikkhunis who have completed their initial training.
To the extent we are able, periods of fully supported individual retreat are offered to resident bhikkhunis and monastic trainees, as well as aspirants and stewards who have offered a substantial period of service, as well as to respected visiting bhikkhunis who have given much service in their home communities.
It is also possible for a visitor whose primary dedication is cultivating the path of service if s/he is considerate, well established in practice, and able to live peacefully and harmoniously together.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 22, 2017—Today, the United States (U.S.) Senate made public the so-called Better Care Reconciliation Act (H.R. 1628). If passed, the bill would take away health insurance from millions of people, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people. While the full extent of its harm is not yet known because the bill has not yet been scored by the Congressional Budget Office, it is clear that the Senate is proposing to make health insurance less affordable and charge those with pre-existing conditions more money for coverage.
"The Trump administration and the Republican-led Congress need to stop playing politics with the lives and wellbeing of people. Repealing the Affordable Care Act will lead to devastating and irreparable consequences, including increased mortality rates, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, overcrowded emergency rooms, and limited insurance options. Callously denying access to affordable healthcare further underscores the Trump administration's malice toward the nation's most vulnerable, including the 1.8 million LGBTQ people who rely on Medicaid, the over 1 million LGBTQ older adults living with disabilities, and the 1.1 million people living with HIV," said Rea Carey, executive director, National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund.
An estimated 1 million LGBTQ people will lose coverage if the proposed Trumpcare is signed into law. The bill, in addition to defunding Planned Parenthood for a year and slashing Medicaid, reduces access to no-cost preventive services, imposes a nationwide ban on private insurance coverage of abortion, and guts essential health benefit protections, including maternity coverage, prescription drugs, life-saving cancer screenings, and HIV and STI testing and treatment.
The National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund is mobilizing 200,000 members to call on U.S. Senators to vote against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (A.C.A). For decades, the Task Force has worked to increase funding for and awareness of HIV and LGBTQ health care issues such as comprehensive reproductive health care. This work includes taking part in public education campaigns such as Bisexual Health Awareness Month and the publication of the Queering Reproductive Justice Toolkit. During the Obama administration, the organization partnered with the Department of Health and Human Services (H.H.S) to increase access to affordable healthcare among LGBTQ people.

What the World's Governments Are Saying About Cryptocurrencies
Most of the world's cryptocurrency trading takes place in this tech-savvy region, with Japan playing a dominant role after it introduced a licensing system for digital-asset exchanges last year. In Hong Kong, regulators have adopted a more hands-off approach while at the same time warning crypto platforms to refrain from trading anything that qualifies as a security without permission. Singapore's deputy prime minister has called cryptocurrencies an "experiment," adding that he doesn't see a strong case to ban trading. Taiwan authorities are taking a wait-and-see approach, while the Philippines plans to roll out rules for ICOs by year-end.
China, once a global hub for cryptocurrency trading, now leads the world in cracking down. It has outlawed digital-asset exchanges and ICOs, blocked online access to overseas trading platforms and cut off power to Bitcoin miners. South Korea, which became a hotbed of cryptocurrency activity last year, is also tightening oversight as it works on a comprehensive set of regulations, though it has allowed exchanges to keep operating for now. In India, where crypto-mania has been relatively subdued, the government has said it doesn't consider digital currencies to be legal tender and will take measures to curb their use.
Most cryptocurrency trading in the U.S. takes place in a legal gray area, a point highlighted by the nation's two top market watchdogs in testimony to Congress in February. Still, the Securities and Exchange Commission has been scrutinizing everything from ICOs to cryptocurrency hedge funds and trading venues. How exactly it plans to crack down on the industry remains to be seen.
In Canada, regulators have said that ICOs may be treated as securities and that products linked to cryptocurrencies should be considered high-risk. At the same time, the country's stock exchanges have become popular destinations for crypto-related stocks and exchange-traded funds. Brazil's market regulator, meanwhile, has barred funds from investing in cryptocurrencies because they aren't classified as financial
The European Commission is still reviewing the bloc's regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The European Securities and Markets Authority, which coordinates standards across member states, has proposed restrictions on derivatives tied to virtual currencies for retail investors, and is also assessing how the EU's new MiFID II rules apply to digital assets. One regulation that's already in the pipeline: platforms that exchange virtual currencies for conventional money will soon have to verify the identity of their customers.
At the national level, Germany has cracked down on trading venues that lack permission to offer brokerage services and French authorities have said that online platforms for crypto-derivatives should face tough reporting and business conduct standards. In the U.K., a parliamentary committee is looking at how to police digital currencies.
Russia's finance ministry unveiled draft legislation in January that would ban cryptocurrency payments while allowing ICOs and the exchange of virtual currencies into the traditional sort. To make the rules permanent, the ministry may have to overcome opposition from the nation's central bank.
It's mostly a gray area for cryptocurrency regulation in major African economies. South Africa's markets regulator doesn't oversee virtual currencies or digital-asset exchanges, though the central bank has said it will investigate an "appropriate policy framework and regulatory regime." In Zimbabwe, where digital currencies are traded on exchanges and used for remittance payments, the monetary authority has warned about the risk of "money laundering, terrorism financing, tax evasion and fraud."
It's a similar story in Kenya, one of Africa's most tech-savvy nations. There, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have grown in popularity even as officials have warned against trading them. In Nigeria, cryptocurrency markets aren't regulated, but the central bank, which likens Bitcoin trading to gambling, has said that will probably change.

Q: Chrome CSS background-image problems with animation Here is the link to code https://jsfiddle.net/pk7zetdu/6/
$('.img_cont').addClass('rollIn');

  setTimeout(function(){
    $('.img_cont').removeClass('rollIn').addClass('rollOut');
  }, 3000);

  setTimeout(function(){
    $('#img_img').attr('src', 'http://www.hercampus.com/sites/default/files/2013/02/27/topic-1350661050.jpg');
    $('.img_co....

Try to open it with latest stable chrome for windows.
First when it loads, you can see the slide (div) rolling in and rolling out, than image SRC is changed and div rolls in for the second time with new bg (maybe with a small img loading delay). All fine!
Then please press RUN button in fiddle and watch again. You now can see the slide (div) rolling in and rolling out, than image SRC is changed, but it rolls in with previous image in bg and changes it right after the animation is complete.
I can ensure you this has nothing to do with Image loading or fiddle it self, because it's a big problem in my real project. -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; on IMG solves the issue, but introduces to other problems in more serious examples :(.
Any ideas?
================ UPDATE
When I change .rollOut opacity to something not zero (https://jsfiddle.net/pk7zetdu/8/), the problem is gone. Seems that when opacity of img parent is 0, chrome does not adjust new SRC, and has problems to adjust it while in animation.

A: Your second image has a shadow around all its sides. You can see that if you open the image in a tab(you will see that the image has some gap from top and left).
So your second image doesnt load with the first image in background. Its just the second image that has the white gap around it.
Changing the images will do the trick. Check this fiddle with different images. -  https://jsfiddle.net/pk7zetdu/11/
As for the second image not rolling out after 3 seconds, you can change the setTimeout to setInterval

A: This was Chrome March built bug. It's fixed in newest version. Anyway (if you care about march version) a quick fix is to set Opacity to something like 0.0001 instead of 0, when fading out. There is no good solution.

"BODY OF WOMEN" Release
April 10, 2017 May 29, 2017 4thU Artivists
NEW YORK, NY – April 10, 2017 – 4thU Artivists, a NYC-based nonprofit founded to raise awareness and funding to help end violence against women and girls, presents BODY OF WOMEN, performances offering a deep look into women's bodies and the strength of women as a body. Happening during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, BODY OF WOMEN is limited to three performances, Sat., April 22, 7pm; Sun, April 23, 3pm & 7pm.
"BODY OF WOMEN" PERFORMANCES INCLUDE:
Havoc! A Song Cycle for Six Women Who Give a F**k, an indie pop punk song cycle from composer and front woman Terra Warman. With music provided by Terra and the Dactyls, Havoc! is a timely piece set in a world of political disarray, where women from all social classes, ages, and backgrounds are thrust into an impossible situation and must pick up the pieces. How we put things back together is our choice.
Breastimonials, a funny and touching monologue collection written and directed by Kaedy Fischer including women of all ages, experiences and backgrounds discussing their relationship with their bodies – specifically breasts.
Habitat, a play exploring the story of five women through the lens of their relationships as friends and family by following their daily life within the transgender/queer community. The piece is a moving, physical, humorous work revealing the diverse experiences and vulnerability of its characters. The arrival of a guest and interruption of their society changes the life of the women and unfolds different layers of their personalities. The women's existences constantly question the importance of safety and isolation as defining elements of their identity.
The "Artivists" (artists + activists) have a long-standing involvement with playwright Eve Ensler's global movements V-Day and One Billion Rising whose mission is to end violence against women and girls around the world. Likewise, the mission of 4thU Artivists is to raise awareness and funds (to date, over $100,000) to end violence against women and girls globally and locally through creative projects, presented under the auspices of the Fourth Universalist Society a 501(c)(3) in the City of New York. In addition to V-Day, proceeds of the 2016-17 performances go to DayOne and Sanctuary for Families.
4thU Artivists Founder and Managing Director Deborah Roth says: "We loved presenting the works of Eve Ensler for many years (The Vagina Monologues, The Good Body, Emotional Creature). Now it's a delight to collaborate with emerging female artists, playwrights, and musicians as we have over the last few years, and Body of Women combines all three in powerful and creative ways."
BODY OF WOMEN will be performed in the 4th Universalist Society's Gothic-style church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, 160 Central Park West @ 76th St (wheelchair accessible). General Seating tickets are priced between $17-28. Doors open 30 minutes in advance of each show, offering a cafe with food, drinks, and fun items for purchase, to benefit the causes involved.

Some people are prone to awkward encounters or embarrassing mistakes; for others, these cringe-worthy moments happen at exactly the wrong time — a job interview included.
Here's a compilation of some of embarrassing job interview moments. Hopefully, you'll be able to apply the lesson to your own interview preparation, and maybe even have a laugh as some comic relief from your own job search.
I was asking one of my fraternity brothers advice about finding a job. He had been pretty lucky, and despite the heavy job competition, he had three decent offers. He claimed his 'secret touch' was that he always mailed a hard copy of his job application, spritzed with a spray of expensive cologne.
When I was applying for my first job, I did the same thing. I got a call back in a few days, scheduled an interview, and went in wearing my cologne, thinking his secret had worked.
Well, I was lucky to be applying to a company with a laid-back office culture. They had all joked that the application had smelled strongly of a 'shopping mall candle store' and that it had 'stunk up the whole office.' Fortunately, they were impressed with my work experience and hired me anyway, but, now I know that my friend's secret does not work!
I had too many cups of coffee and really had to use the bathroom before my appointment began. I ran in from my car and was already starting to undo my belt when I barged into the unisex, single-stall bathroom.
Apparently, I didn't hear the woman inside yell, 'One second!' when I was opening the door because I ran in just as she was fixing her skirt in front of the sink. I slammed right into her, apologized and ran out. I was so embarrassed that I ran to find another bathroom in the building. When it was time for my interview, I was directed to a corner office and guess who happened to be my interviewer — the woman I had walked in on in the bathroom!
I was in a rush applying for a London internship program since I realized the day I found the program online was the day the application was due. The deadline was midnight, and that day I had class until nine. It was ten by the time I got home and time was flying by as I scrambled to get together my resume, cover letter, recommendations, and application essay.
I hastily attached all the materials to my email, and just as I clicked send, I realized I had attached the wrong document for my application essay: instead of "London Abroad Program Essay" I had inserted the journal I kept in Microsoft Word about the semester I had studied in London the year before, which had a similar title.
I tried to send another essay explaining how my experience actually made me a better candidate for the job since I was familiar with London's culture and knew the city, but the journal wasn't 100 percent 'safe for work' as it had chronicled all parts of my time there, from my visit to the Buckingham Palace to nights at the pub. I never heard back from the program.
I had a real jerk of an interviewer who seemed bent on trying to decipher which political party I belonged to. Although politics were completely irrelevant to this company, it was the month before the Presidential election, so I think he was just really fired up about it.
Again I said neither, biting my tongue despite the fact that I have staunch political beliefs and have actually campaigned heavily for certain candidates. He continued to press me, and I tried to stay neutral but then he began to rant about the election, and eventually, it turned into a full-blown political fight. I ended up storming out and obviously, I didn't get hired.
It's a small world they say, and during a recent job interview, my interviewer and I figured out we went to the same college, in a small town on the East coast. My husband was born in that town and lived there is whole life, which is where we met.
Although the interviewer was about four years older than me, we still knew a lot of the same people. As we started hashing out the past I came to a horrible realization — she was the sister of the woman my husband had married at a very early age, then divorced, in order to move away with me when I got a job in Los Angeles. It had been a very messy break-up and she hadn't put two-and-two together until we started discussing the past since I didn't change my last name when we got married for the sake of my career.
Once she figured out the connection, I could tell she was trying to remain polite but it just wasn't working. She dismissed the interview and I never heard from the company again.
I had just gotten back from an extended spring break — I had finished college one semester early and spent almost two months in Ibiza, Spain — and had arranged a last-minute interview for a summer fellowship just two days after arriving back in the States.
I made the mistake of scheduling the interview at a Starbucks on my college campus, and had several instances of bad luck — one, my interviewer was a young man who looked like he could have been my 'bro' rather than a potential employer; two, it was finals time so everyone was in the coffee shop studying and looking for a distraction. The interview was interrupted numerous times by my friends approaching me, asking me when I had gotten home to the States, and commenting on the photos I had posted on Facebook.
After the third interruption, I told my friend that I was in an interview and to let others know I would catch up later. By then the damage was done. I didn't get the job.
I had a very important follow-up interview on a Friday morning, but I had prepared relentlessly, had a good phone interview first time around, and was pretty confident about how the interview would turn out.
Since I had to jump on the Subway and rush to my part-time job after the interview, I decided to stop by the liquor store before the interview to prepare for what I imagined would be a celebration. I purchased a bottle of vodka at a corner store, then started walking to the office building. My nerves were growing and I figured it wouldn't hurt if I did one shot just to take the edge off. So, I took a swig, then shoved the bottle in my briefcase.
After we shook hands the interviewer started sniffing the air and asked if I had been drinking. Of course, I said no, but then I smelt for myself how strong the scent of Vodka was. I hastily explained I had picked up a bottle of Vodka for a friend and was carrying in my briefcase — as if that made the situation any better. I didn't get a callback.
I recently adopted a dog that has really bad separation anxiety when she is left alone in the house. I had a job interview scheduled for the late afternoon and despite asking around, I couldn't find anyone to look after her for the two hours I figured I'd be gone. I ended up taking her with me and leaving her in the car, then arranging for my fiancé to get the car with his spare key and take her to the park until my interview was done.
It was a hot day but I knew it would be a maximum of ten or fifteen minutes she'd be in the car alone; plus, I left all the windows cracked open. Well, someone from the company was coming in from a late lunch and spotted my dog in the car. She ran into the office, which is very small, and started ranting about what a horrible person would leave their dog in the car during weather like this, and how she was going to call the police.
I heard the ruckus she was creating from the office I was sitting in and I definitely didn't want the police called on me, so I had to interrupt the interview and explain the situation, although she didn't care much for my explanation. Turns out that woman would actually have been one of supervisors if I had gotten hired, but needless to say, I didn't.
My roommate and I have a really bad habit of letting our dishes pile up, to the extent that we never have clean dishes and our utensils are always buried dirty at the bottom of the sink. To make up for this I've developed another really bad habit: stealing, or as I like to say, 'borrowing,' plastic utensils from places like Starbucks, Subway, Chipotle...you get the picture.
My interview was in a corporate office building in my city's business district, meaning there are a lot of fast-food-style restaurants where employees eat lunch and get coffee.
I arrived very early for my interview and decided I'd take advantage of the opportunity and collect some utensils for the apartment. By the time I went in for my interview I had grabbed handfuls of utensils from about five different places — meaning I probably had between 50 and 70 forks, knives and spoons in my handbag.
I sat down for the interview and at one point I kicked over my bag — and all the utensils spilled out on the floor. I didn't know what to say, so I started stuttering, and all I could think of was, 'Oh, my roommate asked me to get these.' I didn't get the job.
Here are some more interview mistakes candidates for employment make including not taking the time to preparing — and not having a clue about your prospective employer, dressing the wrong way, saying the wrong thing, talking too much — or not talking enough.
