We need resilience – whatever it is.
Resilience is our main hope for survival – but we need two different types, argues Len Fisher.
"Resilience" has become a universal buzzword. We need it, it seems, for personal growth, leadership, and management. We also need it in our IT networks, our power grids and our agricultural systems. Successful organizations need it, and our economies, societies and ecosystems would be in dire straits without it. Or so experts from these different areas claim.
But what is resilience, and why do we need it?
These questions provided an unexpected sticking point for participants at a recent workshop on slowly-developing catastrophic risks, held in Zurich at the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue, and sponsored by the International Risk Governance Council. The meeting brought together economists, ecologists, risk analysts, senior government policy advisors and administrators, and scientists concerned with modeling and predicting future global scenarios. Unfortunately, each had their own idea of what resilience means in terms of practical policies for the future.
Some took the concept as self-evident. Others, particularly from the economic side, saw it as the ability of a system to "bounce back" after stress. This is the description used by the World Economic Forum in its publicity, elaborated in its latest report as "Maintaining system function in the event of a disturbance" or (if the system has the power to adapt and change) "The ability to withstand, recover from, and reorganize in response to crises …".
In some of these definitions, there is a focus on protection against disturbance and maintenance of the status quo. In others there is an emphasis on transformation and adaptation to new circumstances. So which is best? Which, if any, can be used to formulate an operational definition for scientists and policy makers to employ to help predict and/or cope with future scenarios? These may involve gradual change, but which may also involve the dramatic changes inherent in natural and man-made disasters, economic collapses, technological revolutions and social upheaval.
I argue that we need both types of resilience in our modern, complex social-economic-ecological world, for very different reasons. For stability and security, we need the sort of resilience that enables a system "bounce back" after stress, or at least to adapt to change at a rate that is compatible with that change. This sort of resilience can, in principle, be built in to modeling, risk analysis, scenario planning and foresight for different eventualities.
But we need to do such prediction-based planning with our fingers crossed behind our backs, because complex social, economic and ecological systems are more than the sum of their parts. They contain a multitude of interacting feedback loops. Some act to stabilize the system and maintain the status quo, while others can drive runaway change if left unchecked.
The dynamic balance between these two types of feedback shifts slowly over time, and can bring a system to a state where a small change in one part can propagate and tip the balance, or where the whole system can "flip" to a different state for no apparent reason. Such "regime shifts" are well known in ecology, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that similar unexpected shifts can occur in our complex economies and societies.
I am not just talking about the effects of isolated "black swan" events, although these can undoubtedly be significant. I am talking, rather, about sudden change and transformation of the system as whole, which sweeps away all of our modeling and scenario planning efforts. The potential for such dramatic change is inevitable in complex systems. It is built in to their very nature. We cannot always foresee it, let alone resist it. Instead, we must learn to accept it, live with it, and even embrace it.
For this, we need the second sort of resilience – the sort espoused by Carpenter and his colleagues, where adaptation and transformation are the keys. It will not be easy, not least because the introduction of a capacity for such resilience into our economic, social and political systems will often require the devolution of power in the cause of flexibility and speed in decision-making. It will also involve present sacrifice to cope with unknown, and often unknowable, future eventualities (the banking network, for example, might be made more resilient by weakening links and cutting ties, but only at the expense of present profits). Such sacrifices of power and immediate gain tend to go against human nature, but we are going to need them, if we are to develop the two types of resilience – the one for stability, the other for survival.

29 backers pledged $3,245 to help bring this project to life.
Hi folks, James Reams here, from James Reams & The Barnstormers - a nationally-known bluegrass band and unofficial bluegrass ambassadors! I sincerely want to thank each of the Kickstarter supporters over the years that have contributed to the success of the DVD documentary "Making Music with Pioneers of Bluegrass" and my latest album, "Rhyme & Season." The DVD continues to sell well and the new album has received high praise from well-known reviewers and music lovers.
The success of these projects has led to an interesting opportunity. I was approached recently MediaSmith, a Phoenix-based company that I had worked with previously, about being the subject of a documentary. I was initially surprised by the request. But they convinced me that I do have a story to tell – a survivor's tale from the perspective of a long time, though perhaps not big time, bluegrass band leader.
As I get ready to celebrate 25 years as a band leader, I thought why not?! You don't have to be a big name to have a story to tell. And maybe my story will encourage someone else who is struggling to keep his or her head above water in the music industry or any creative endeavor.
Inspired by that metaphor, MediaSmith suggested a working title for the film that captures the essence of what it means to be a musician. "Like a Flowing River: A Bluegrass Passage" will relate the twists and turns – as well as the career threatening log jams – that had to be overcome in order for me to make it to this 25th anniversary. It's as much a story about hope as it is about being a musician.
Music is as much a part of me as the blood that flows through my veins. And it has carried me through some really tough times in my life. I've learned that if you fight against the current, you'll drown. So, my philosophy has become go with the flow and see where the river takes you!
MediaSmith normally handles photography, videos and short films. This is their first attempt at a feature-length film and, quite frankly, they need our help in order to get this film finished and into the hands of the public. They asked me to make this appeal on their behalf since I've been successful with Kickstarter campaigns in the past. I realize that I'm asking you to take a leap of faith and believe in these filmmakers as I do. I hope I can count on you to "jump in the river!" and help get this story told.
BONUS: All contributors will be listed in the film's credits! Those who contribute at the $500 level will receive a special acknowledgement!
Work on the project has already begun. Interviews have been scheduled, artwork is being prepared, licensing has been acquired, film crews and sound technicians have been hired, and portions of the film have been completed. However, available funds will be exhausted by the time filming and editing are finished. This modest Kickstarter fund will provide the additional capital needed to finalize production and distribute the film.
Oh boy! You sure have given us a boost!
You're like a member of the crew to us!
Your personal attention is much appreciated!

A new study released by the National Trust for Historic Preservation offers welcome insight for homeowners weighing the financial and energy tradeoffs between replacing or repairing older, less efficient windows. The report entitled, "Saving Windows, Saving Money: Evaluating the Energy Performance of Window Retrofit and Replacement," was commissioned by the Trust's Preservation Green Lab and funded by The National Park Service's National Center for Preservation Technology and Training.
It analyzes decades of research about the performance of double hung windows, comparing the relative energy, carbon and cost savings of various choices in multiple cities across the United States. The report concludes that upgrading windows (specifically older, single-pane models) with exterior storm windows and insulating shades can result in substantial energy savings across a variety of climate zones.
These findings have important environmental and economic ramifications for consumers. Residential buildings are responsible for approximately 20 percent of total U.S. energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. Many of these buildings are single-family homes where heating and cooling represents the largest uses of energy, and where windows are an important factor in home energy efficiency. Americans spend over $17 billion annually on heating and cooling.
Retrofit measures can achieve performance results comparable to new replacement windows.
Research support for the study was provided by Cascadia Green Building Council and Ecotope, a consultancy focused on energy efficiency and sustainability.
This research was made possible through Grant MT-2210-08-NC-01 from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT).

A number of high-profile tax issues affecting companies with business interests in the United States and across the globe are coming to a head in U.S. courts in the next few months.
Law360 highlighted six tax cases to watch in the second half of 2016, including upcoming battles over online retailers' sales tax obligations, an interstate tax agreement, the IRS whistleblower program and offshore accounts, and transfer pricing.
Fenwick tax partner Larissa Neumann spoke with Law360 about some of these upcoming cases and what to look for.
Among the most closely watched centers on the IRS's long-running audit of Microsoft. The outcome of U.S. vs. Microsoft Corp. is of interest because of the transfer pricing questions it raises and the billions of dollars at stake. It also could determine the extent to which the government can use private lawyers in an audit.
"This could be the largest transfer pricing issue to date. IRS officials have stated that this is one of the largest audits in IRS history," Neumann said.
Another case drawing interest is Altera Corp. against Commissioner in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Neumann told Law360 that this case has implications not only in the transfer pricing context, but also in the broader administrative law context, as it "establishes a great precedent for attacking the IRS' abuse of discretion in issuing regulations without reasoned decision-making.

Part 64: Egypt
After our adventures in the South Pacific we have returned to Africa. And now we've been appointed Supreme Commander of the African Expeditionary Forces. We now are solely responsible for the fight for Africa and relations with our Ashanti allies.
As stated earlier, the UCS controls the main access route to West Africa. If we are to seize the resources there we will first need to break the UCS base in Egypt.
This will be a long one, so everyone get comfy.
Once again we start with a rather pitiful base. I suppose it's nicer than starting with no base, but not by much.
The only piece of research available to us this mission is the double-barreled heavy cannon.
Our first order of business is defending our eastern flank. If you recall from the UCS version of this mission, it was quite easy to bypass the ED defenses and cripple the base. Since we won't have NEO on our side to turn the battle in our favor we'll need to rely on more traditional defenses.
While the wall is being built, I once again commission 3 Leviathan-class battleships. These will serve us only in Egypt so they'll be unnamed as the ED has no use for a river fleet.
I send a Grozny to scout the other bank of the Nile. The UCS defenses, while not as robust as in New Zealand still pose a significant threat to our operation. Making matters worse, the only viable crossing point is near the mouth of the river. A land-based attack will be very time-consuming indeed.
The LC are allying with us? Why couldn't they have done that before when I was sneaking around stealing their shields and whatnot?
The LC have a very well-fortified position (it's the same as in the UCS version of this mission). The base is in a natural valley, making assault impossible except through the mass of laser walls and towers northwest of the base. I doubt a UCS attack will do much to them.
Additionally, the LC position ensures that we'll have control over the Nile crossing. We still will need to watch out for the navy and air force, but we can go cheap on land-focused defenses.
Our navy is ready, so let's see if we can dislodge the UCS from their position. Once again, we'll try and draw out the navy first.
We don't have the UFO to act as a scout, but the navy responds just as well to aerial bait. Our superior firepower will put them to rest with the Nile Crocodiles!
One cruiser sunk, another disabled and a third only a few hits away from sinking? I think we've won this sortie.
Following the destruction of their capital ships, the UCS escorts retreat back to the safety of the harbor.
But they can't outrun our long-range rocket launchers! The air force took out the Energy Transmitter powering the Fortress before the navy moved in.
The UCS counter-attack is intense. We've already lost one battleship, but the others are at full strength still.
Shit. The UCS have managed to rebuild one of their cruisers. It also looks to have plasma cannons rather than rocket launchers. This could be an issue.
We've lost one ship, but the other was able to take it out with its lasers. Even in the late game, lasers are still a great weapon against ground troops. Now, let's make sure they can't build any more boats. And then we'll take care of this annoying shelling coming from the UCS towers.
There. No more boats! Yay no more boats!
With the naval threat neutralized and most of the interior defenses cutoff, the air force can quickly cut the power to the few remaining coastal towers.
While our attack on the UCS naval station was a success, it appears the bulk of the base is further inland. We will need a tank assault after all. Fortunately, our LC allies should be able to provide some assistance.
Meanwhile the air force and navy finishes off the last of the UCS naval outpost.
Too little too late, the UCS Gargoyles respond to our actions on the western bank of the Nile.
Actually they spend most of their time flying around in circles, trying to destroy the rubble the UCS Power Plant left behind. Yeah I don't know either.
With the western bank now in our firm control, I have the Gruz construct an underwater tunnel to connect our main base. From here we can build a resupply outpost, to ensure that our land forces are quickly resupplied.
We can also build static defenses in case the UCS try a counter-attack to rebuild their naval base.
Well look at that. It seems as if the LC have beaten us to the punch. Nice job ladies! You've been the best ally we've had so far. Recall that when we were the LC, the UCS gave us pointless escort missions and got their robots hacked to kill us all the time. When we were the UCS the LC kept an overwhelming force in their base just so we could escort a single Moon. And now as the ED our ally is finally helping out. Why didn't this happen sooner!?
Of course, immediately following this I walk into a UCS trap. The towers cannot be hit by the UFO, rendering our most potent offensive weapon useless. Although I order a hasty retreat, the UCS Gargoyles still hound us. However with the Noise Generators jamming their communications they're mostly harmless and are quickly plucked from the sky by our Khrushchevs.
We will need to find another route into the base
Hmm, what's this? It looks like UCS Harvesters are leaving the base via this open plain to the west of the UCS towers. I'm sure this large flat, unguarded expanse so close to the base is perfectly safe for us to use!
Well except for all the mines that is. Yes, for the first time in possibly my entire life playing this game I managed to run into a minefield, not notice and lose a whole bunch of tanks. Good job me. The land attack force will need to wait until I can send over new Repairers. A force this injured won't last long against the UCS Fortresses.
Axeil: 0
UCS Robots: 1
Fuck you Minelayers. The UFO hovers and thus is immune to your mine bullshit.
Since I lack a Minelayer of my own and really don't feel like building one and then waiting for it to get all the way over here, I have the air force try and soften up the guard towers to the east. With their lights off, no one can see them to shoot back so it goes rather well.
Huzzah! Our underwater tunnel is complete. Maybe I should build that Minelayer. It won't take 20 minutes to get to the battlefield now.
While awaiting repairs, the UFO and Khrushchevs pick off all the passing Harvesters. I hear Harvester sniping is good stress relief. It made me feel a lot better about my earlier blunder.
Finally, our Repairer arrives. Just a few minutes and then we can go and destroy the-
Oh. Looks like the LC is already taking care of that.
Welp. Head home everyone, our work here is finished!
I don't care how well-shielded you are, you're not going to be able to withstand three Thunderers parked right over your base. You've gotta try and ya know, shoot them. But the UCS look content to roll over and die. Meh. Made my life easier this mission.
While we wait for everyone to get back to the LZ, let's steal buried Egyptian treasure (again)!
Aw man, really? Do we really have to do this Marshal Romanov? It worked out so well. I built a few boats and bumbled around like an idiot while the LC did all the hard work. It's a perfect strategy! Do you know I haven't even seen half the shit I've been awarded during this campaign? I have 17 different apartments, at least 20 cars and also a random yacht. What good is a yacht in space Marshal? What good is it? Can't I just enjoy this stuff now and let the LC fight the rest of our battles?
Well then. Time for a sneak attack!
The LC don't realize our traitorous intentions and are more than happy to let us walk right into their base.
The fools.
I just stabbed you in the back and you're wishing me health and happiness? Damn. Say what you want about the LC but they are polite even when betrayed and murdered.
Our sneak attack worked out quite well. The power to the LC base is down. Unfortunately, the LC mobile defenders are a bit too much for us. I send the UFO back to base for repairs and leave the rest to their fate.
The static defenses I built at the western Nile resupply base are coming in handy. See, this is what you had to do to save yourselves UCS. You need to actually shoot the enemy, not just hope that they'll get bored and leave you alone.
For Our Motherland!
Yeah, all those tanks died. But they took out some more LC tanks!
We've (somehow) managed to repulse the LC attack. The tanks were trying to use our tunnel system, which simply could not be allowed. With the threat on the western shore completely eliminated its time to move the fleet into bombardment range of the LC base.
With the death of all our tanks, we'll need to rebuild if we're to hit the LC base. But as I showed you earlier, it's quite well-defended. How are we supposed to break in?
We'll get to that in a minute. First we need to kill a Thunderer.
Right then. How are we to get about killing the LC base? Or even getting in? Oh yeah. We can just use our battleships to annihilate their defense grid. Good thinking!
Well it was good thinking until the LC decided to send some Crusher hS units at us.
One ship down, and the rest don't have shields. Yeah I'm not feeling too good about this.
At least our new tanks are all ready though.
Your deaths will be remembered, unnamed ED Leviathan-class battleships!
The battleships may have died, but they cleared the way for our ground assault. Before we do any assaulting though, lets get rid of these annoying Thunderers.
There. Much better.
The defenses of the LC base are totally in shambles now. The defense was mostly predicated on funneling hostile units into a nice kill-zone where they were under fire from all directions. A handful of poorly placed Guardian towers won't replicate that.
The base is completely exposed to attack now. It's rather pathetic actually. Recall how tough it was for us to beat back the LC in the UCS campaign. All we did this time was add some boats and a UFO and suddenly it's a walk in the park. That's why it sometimes is worth it to research stuff even if you'll only use it for a mission or two.
One Solar Power Plant down, one more to go.
They're not even putting up a token amount of resistance at this point.
And with that their last structure/unit capable of fighting back has been destroyed.
Since there is no longer any threat, I order one of the LC Main Bases captured for any intelligence. Immediately upon capture the building began slowly self-destructing. It must be some sort of defense mechanism. However, we were able to recover some information regarding a "Project Sunlight." It is unclear at this time what exactly Project Sunlight is. We've assigned the Mobile Commandos (Mobile Task Force) the task of deciphering this mystery now that they're done in the South Pacific.
The LC stuck some mines way out here. It took me a good 10 minutes to figure out where the hell their last structures were.
The way to West Africa is clear! While the UCS have not been totally dislodged from Africa, this is a serious blow. We will now be able to use land routes to move in men and material. We no longer are beholden to the Ashanti for supplies in the region.
While waiting to return to base I received a curious joint memo from Igor and Major Minsk.
MESSAGE FROM HEADQUARTERS ++++ TOP SECRET ++++ posted:
Inquiry No. EXO-0132
General Axeil, Supreme Commander of the African Expeditionary Forces,
Congratulations on your latest victory over the UCS. We'll have those dogs driven into the ocean soon enough, comrade. We have been reviewing the shipment logs from the Spaceport to Space Station Salut and have noticed a discrepancy between your reported shipments and the actual amount received. During your time with Army Group South-East you were under command of a General Fedorov, and tasked with the procurement of resources from India. Your after-action report indicates that the requested 50,000 CR were sent to the Spaceport as well as an additional 66,500 CR. However, when Director Burkov was conducting an audit of the Space Shuttle fleet finances he could not account for those credits on Space Station Salut. What other officers were working with you on this mission? Did General Fedorov personally assist? Did he or any of your subordinates have any access to the Spaceport?
We assume of course, that this is merely a clerical error. Please respond as soon as possible. We understand you have been granted your own ship during the voyage due to your outstanding service to our Khan. Please understand, if we cannot locate these missing material your ship may be revoked to deal with the lower than expected number of evacuation ships.
Igor Burkov, Director of Administration for Research and Development
Major Minsk, Supply Administration - Dept of Procurement
SHIT! That idiot Igor must've finally realized he never got the shipments from India. Oh man this is bad, this is real bad. They'll execute me for treason for sure. Or leave me behind once the war is over. I mean, that message pretty much said "if you did it we're leaving you behind." Shit, shit, shit. If only there was some way out...
Wait. Didn't they mention another commander who was working with me? Yes, why I do believe that he was in charge of making sure the shipments reached their intended destination. I think I remember seeing him lurking about the Spaceport while I was fighting those cursed LC women and UCS robots in the trenches with my men.
Why, I'm a good Dynasty general. See how I send my excess resources back to the Spaceport to allow more of our comrades to join us on Mars? In fact, I've granted all my General Staff tickets upon my personal evacuation ship. And I'm even allowing the common soldier access too provided he proves his...usefulness. I too would hate to see my ship revoked. These men and their families would have no other way off the planet. See, only a true Dynasty general would have such compassion. Clearly, the responsible party for the missing funds must lie elsewhere
I think this is the first mission in a while where all three factions have been on generally level footing. I think if the LC hadn't allied with us almost immediately the mission would have been far more difficult.
(If you go north to the LC base instead of west to the UCS base at the start you'll be ordered to kill the LC too, negating any chance at an alliance. I know. It's what happened the first time I played through this mission for this update)
rest of briefing posted:
Our forces must destroy this base. We can count on our new friends to assist us.
Earth is starting to look pretty bad. We need to speedup our conquest of Africa before its too late. To that end, the destruction of this UCS base in the Congo forms the second point in their so-called "Triangle Defense" of North Africa. We just destroyed the first point in Egypt. At this time we are unable to hit the third point in Algeria. If we can destroy the base in the Congo then we need only destroy the Atlantic Fleet anchored at Algeria to cement our hold on the region.

The New York Times dedicates an article to workers' buyouts in Europe
13 Apr 2015 | Position paper
The North American daily newspaper The New York Times has published a thorough article on business transfer to employees. It deeply analyses the story of the Editoriale Zanardi, an artisanal printing company located in Northern Italy and transformed into a worker cooperative in 2014. The news reflects how cooperatives can save jobs and know-how, showing the resilience of those enterprises in Europe.
It also mentions the latest workers' buyouts in Spain and France together with CECOP's experience in this field based on the study "Business Transfers to Employees under the Form of a Cooperative in Europe", published in June 2013.
The support given by Coopfond is also revealed and Aldo Soldi, its general director, was interviewed in the framework of the article. Mr Soldi will participate in the session « Worker cooperatives: a big opportunity for new jobs », organised by the Croatian Center for cooperative entrepreneurship with the collaboration of CECOP at the Croatian parliament in May.


New England's largest city, Boston, Massachusetts, is home to historic sights and modern neighborhoods; stores and restaurants with old-time character; and gracious green spaces as well as a beautiful waterfront. Legendary figures of the American Revolution come alive at buildings and attractions along Boston's Freedom Trail, including the Paul Revere House and Old South Meeting House, and in Lexington and Concord just outside Boston. Pay homage to great U.S. presidents at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and in the town of Quincy, birthplace of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
Each of Boston's neighborhoods has its own personality and things to do, whether you're enjoying the food of the North End's Little Italy, admiring the beautiful 19th-century architecture of Beacon Hill or watching the street performers in Cambridge's Harvard Square. The waterfront offers harbor views, while boat tours allow you to take in the city skyline while sightseeing. In every neighborhood, shopping and dining reveal Boston's true eclectic self, from casual to high-end, but always interesting.
Finally, Boston is a city of green spaces where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors. The Emerald Necklace, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, is a 445-hectare (1,100-acre) chain of nine linked parks, including the lovely Boston Common and Public Garden.


I haven't read a Clive Cussler book for a some time. I was a great fan of the early Dirk Pitt books but gave up reading them when they started to become a bit formulaic and repetitive. Cussler is now in his 80's and similarly to other ageing authors he has moved to co-authorship to maintain his output. This book in the Isaac Bell series is co-authored with Justin Scott and I would imagine that Scott has done most of the work.
What started to be a detective story about Prohibition and bootlegging in the 1920's got really serious when Isaac Bell's boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed in a high-speed chase of a bootlegging vessel. Things get even more serious when a witness to the shooting is executed in a manner normally used by the Russian secret police. Bell soon realises that as well as chasing the bootleggers he is up against communist saboteurs with a much larger agenda.
I think I would have enjoyed a no holds barred 1920's gangster/detective book more than this pretty strange twist in the plot. All in all compared to the exciting and very different early Dirk Pitt books, this was more like a B grade movie that would now only run on pay TV.

Victoria Anne Greenwood was born in North Hollywood, California. She was raised by her Mother, Sheila Lussier (actress/model/documentarian) and Step Father Kenny Rogers Jr. (music producer/voice over artist). She is the middle child with two brothers, Keaton and Kacey who are both in a rock band "Raised On TV," that she has directed numerous music videos for along with illustrating their band merch.
Growing up in the industry, she has been trained by various people/styles. Notably so, by casting director, Geno Havens (The Jerk, More American Graffiti, etc...), and by Robert Carnegie of Playhouse West. As well as many improv classes.
Victoria found a passion for Art at a young age. In 1997, Victoria was honored by Mayor Bedizen of Nashville, Tennessee for her art work, which, was accepted into the exhibit Harmony. This love has translated over into a very passionate hobby of illustration. She joined the school choir in the third grade and she was also part of the theater team. Music played a huge role in her life as she grew up in and around it. She plays banjo, which sparked her interest living in Nashville. Victoria was inducted into the International Thespians Society when she was just in middle school. While in High School at Calabasas High, she joined the comedy sports team and was a part of the theater department. She performed in various show cases and competitions, sparking her real interest in a set career, acting. In 2010 she was awarded Miss Encino USA and competed in Miss California USA. She attended Santa Monica College studying theater, with an emphasis on historical styles. From 2004-2006 she had a life altering experience, helping her Mother, as a production assistant, on a documentary on James Brown and his Wife, "Life on the Road with Mr. And Mrs. Brown." This cemented her path behind and in front of the camera. She directs, writes, and actively acts on stage in her theater company Loft Ensemble. In early 2020, she directed a play she wrote, "Birthday Wish," that was a huge success. She continues to create her own content. She is represented by Sovereign Talent Group.

Q: Replacing labels c# wpf created a sports table that shows different statistics sorted by one property. When sorting for a different property I created completely new labels that just sit on top of the old ones instead of replacing them.
This is ran when a button is pressed:
private void Points_Order(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    List<Team> leagueTeams = new List<Team>();
    using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TXT1.txt"))
    {
        using (JsonReader jr = new JsonTextReader(sr))
        {
            JsonSerializer js = new JsonSerializer();
            leagueTeams = js.Deserialize<List<Team>>(jr);
        }
    }

    List<Team> sortedList = leagueTeams.OrderByDescending(o => o.points).ToList(); //orders the keagueTeams list by points and stores in a new list using linq
    List<Label> TeamLabels = new List<Label>(); //makes list of labels that show the teams
    List<string> Names = new List<string>(); //Creates a list for the names

    List<Label> gamesPlayedLabels = new List<Label>();
    List<int> GamesPlayed = new List<int>();

    foreach (var properties in sortedList)
    {
        Names.Add(properties.name);//adds the name of each object into the Names list
        GamesPlayed.Add(properties.gamesPlayed);
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
    {
        string nameLab = Names[i];
        TeamLabels.Add(new Label { Height = 100, Width = 100, Content = nameLab }); //sets position of the name labels
        Canvas.SetLeft(TeamLabels[i], 0);
        Canvas.SetTop(TeamLabels[i], (i * 19) + 19);
        canvas1.Children.Add(TeamLabels[i]);

        string played = Convert.ToString(GamesPlayed[i]);
        gamesPlayedLabels.Add(new Label { Height = 100, Width = 100, Content = played });
        Canvas.SetLeft(gamesPlayedLabels[i], 112);
        Canvas.SetTop(gamesPlayedLabels[i], (i * 19) + 19);
        canvas1.Children.Add(gamesPlayedLabels[i]);
    }
}

When a second button is pressed the exact same code is ran but apart from
List<Team> sortedList = leagueTeams.OrderByDescending(o => o.points).ToList()

it is
List<Team> sortedList = leagueTeams.OrderBy(o => o.name).ToList();

so the question is can you replace existing labels so the table can be sorted?

COVID-19 Pandemic Could Prolong for another Year, Report said
Shafaq News/ Another scenario starts to appear increasingly likely in which we could still be battling the pandemic well into 2022.
This view starts with urgent situation worldwide when case rates are frighteningly high, few people have immunity and the vaccine rollout is grindingly slow. The virus, meanwhile, is changing. It has already mutated into versions that spread more quickly, may kill more efficiently and threaten to undermine the effectiveness of vaccines.
According to Newsweek magazine, "The nightmare scenario started when the virus mutates into a variant that renders current vaccines weakened or obsolete before the rollout reaches the 150 million or so people needed to achieve herd immunity, which would halt the virus in its tracks."
The first significant COVID-19 mutation was spotted in the U.K. in December. That variant appears to be more infectious, thanks to a change in its "spike protein. The U.K. variant spreads through populations up to 70 percent faster, according to public-health officials, but more recent published studies have suggested that the variant may also be about 30 percent more likely to kill those it infects.
Dangerous mutations are popping up left and right in part because the COVID-19 case rate is so high. "When the virus enters a person's bloodstream, it creates billions of copies of itself in the victim's cells. The essence of mutation is that some of those copies aren't quite identical to the original. In the vast majority of cases, these random mutations have little effect on the virus, or even reduce its ability to infect and sicken. But given enough opportunities, a copy of the virus is bound to end up changed in a way that makes it more transmissible, deadlier, or able to beat the vaccine—or, in the worst-case scenario, all three." The Magazine stated.
With more than 100 million worldwide, the virus has a vast playground for trying new mutations. The more infected people, the more likely that a vaccine-defeating virus will pop up sometime soon.
The best chance of getting infection rates low enough to avoid that mutational disaster is a fast vaccine rollout. "Our challenge is how to get everybody vaccinated quickly enough to reduce the amount of virus out there and slow its ability to mutate," says Eric Rosenberg, who heads Massachusetts General's Clinical Microbiology Laboratory.
Newsweek said, Scientists' biggest concern is the emergence of variants that can render the vaccine less effective. The first crop of those variants is already here: one first turned up in South Africa, another in Brazil, and a third in Washington State. The two vaccines approved in the U.S.—from Pfizer and Moderna—work by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that primarily look for the spike protein on the virus.
The altered spike proteins in the South Africa, Brazil and Washington variants seem to make them as much as ten times less recognizable to those antibodies, according to lab studies that have been posted, though not yet peer-reviewed.
Even if we luck out with the variants that have already arisen, more are inevitably on the way. "We can expect strains that have further mutated into something that better evades the immune response from the vaccine," says Anthony Harris, a physician who heads clinical operations at Work care, a company that helps organizations reduce employee infection risks.
Vaccine developers, meanwhile, would get the time they need to come up with versions that are effective against the variants—a process that might take as little as three months from start to rollout, if the tweaks to the vaccine are minor enough to win FDA approval without large clinical trials.
Pfizer and Moderna have already announced fast-moving efforts to produce booster shots for vaccinated people that will improve their immunity to the known variants, and they'd likely be able to do the same for future variants. There are also proposals to deliver a third shot of the existing vaccines, which might raise resistance enough to defeat the variants.
But if virus-evading mutations get around more quickly than the initial vaccines do, we'll essentially have to start from scratch in vaccinating the population, likely crushing hopes of defeating the pandemic this year. The Magazine said.
To add to the worry, the delay between the first and second doses is about to leave tens of millions of people partially vaccinated. That, too, can increase the risk of a dangerous mutation. Just as taking an incomplete course of antibiotics can help produce antibiotic-resistant bacteria by wiping out the weak bacteria and favoring the strong ones, a big population of partial vaccines could nurture vaccine-resistant versions of the virus. That's a risk even with two doses, if mutations make the vaccine less effective.
According to Newsweek, All these challenges threaten to indefinitely delay hitting herd immunity—the point at which a large-enough percentage of the population has achieved immunity, whether through vaccine or infection, to rob the virus of enough potential victims to continue spreading widely.
Herd immunity would essentially mark the end of the crisis. In August, The New York Times was among the media outlets trumpeting a theory that the U.S. might already be close to herd immunity, and that New York City may have already achieved it. It hasn't turned out that way. Fauci and other experts now warn that it will require vaccinating some 85 percent of the population. Unless things improve dramatically, hitting that mark before winter is starting to look like a longshot.
If we don't get to herd immunity, or close to it, by late fall, we face the possibility of a significant third wave of the pandemic. That's what happened in the influenza pandemic of 1918, which returned with a vengeance in 1919 to kill millions more around the world. A century ago there were no vaccines for the flu. But COVID-19 vaccines won't quell the current pandemic if we can't get it into enough people in time to head off a new wave or a resistant variant.
There's more we can do to avoid that dark scenario. Given the slow vaccine rollout, beating COVID-19 this year will likely depend on the same tools the world has relied on from the beginning of this pandemic: masks, social distancing, lockdowns, quarantines, testing and contact tracing. The Magazine suggested.
The bottom line, There's a good chance the pandemic will be with us into 2022. If so, the virus will by then have had plenty of opportunity to evolve into strains that the current vaccine can't stop. But new versions of the vaccines adapted to these strains will be coming out.
In addition, much of the population will likely have started to build up broader natural or vaccine-induced immunity to the virus that will at least lessen the impact of the new strains. Ultimately, COVID-19 is probably destined to end up much like the common cold or the flu. That's typically how pandemics wind down.

As a result of these successes, the X1 branch has been merged back into the trunk for inclusion in the 2.2 release.
X1 involved several significant changes to the runtime engine: An extra layer of wrapping was eliminated in the storage of native values. Rows, for instance, directly hold the native values of the components rather than holding wrappers for each. The catalog structures and collections were streamlined.
As a result of the native value change, logic that directly interacts with the runtime data structures (descended from DataValue) will be affected. In terms of actual application impact, this is usually not an issue except in cases where client logic uses Session.Evaluate methods. These result in DataValues, which used to have AsString, AsXXX assessors directly, but those have been removed. As such, either the result can be cast to the appropriate type (e.g. Scalar), or the overloads in the Client.DataSession class can be used.

The Tribune's editorial board talks some sense in asking why it is we're expected to vote for a bunch of administrative offices. I agree: offices like Clerk, Treasurer, Surveyor, Assessor, and so on don't require an election. The mayor and county council can figure out who's good for the job and then fire them if they act up. At current, we have to wait for an election and hope that someone better (or at least less objectionable) secures a spot on the ballot. I say good for the Tribune for sparking the discussion.
I disagree. One of the best ways to make public officials accountable is to have them regularly stand for election. What I would like is a better voter feedback mechanism so that I can make better informed choices, but if we want the officials to serve the public rather than the oligarchy, they need to stand for election.
I agree. The problem with believing that making these officials run is no one pays attention to them. Outside of the few politically minded folks, family & friends of the candidates nobody cares who they are, what they do or why they are running. I never vote for them because I fill I'd be doing a disservice to arbitrarily choose one and I honestly don't have time to research all of them. Well, I might have time but I dont want to.
Another point is, these officials are not accountable to the Mayor. The Mayor cannot get these officials to do anything unless they want to. There is a disconnect and it hampers the function of the county.
Why not then vote for the Commissioner of Public Safety or UDOT? I say, lets vote for the Mayor and allow them to choose who is best for those positions.

Ibrox Stadium
Home to Glasgow Rangers Football Club, who are current Scottish Premier League Champions and extended their world record to 54 national titles, in the process.
It is one of only a few stadia that have been awarded a 5-star status by UEFA, with an all seated capacity of 51,082.
The statue in front of the stadium is a tribute to the 93 supporters who have perished in three disasters that happened at the 'old' stadium, which was a steep banked, oval, standing terracing.
This stadium was built between the late 1970's, in various stages, till it was finally completed in 1991, with the addition of the top tier on the Main Stand.
Ibrox stadium still holds the British record attendance for a league game, when 118,567 supporters watched Rangers beat their arch-rivals Celtic 2-1, on January 2nd 1939.

UCS Extreme Heat Report: A Call to Action on Midwest Clean Energy
James Gignac, lead Midwest energy analyst | July 22, 2019, 11:08 am EST
Excessively hot weather spread across the Great Plains and Midwest states last week. On Friday, Chicago faced heat indexes well above 110 degrees, and many other areas endured dangerous heat warnings and advisories.
According to a sobering new report issued earlier this week by the Union of Concerned Scientists, the heat impacts of climate change will bring increasingly frequent extreme heat events such as these if we don't take aggressive action to mitigate global warming pollution.
The report, Killer Heat in the United States: Climate Choices and the Future of Dangerously Hot Days, is scary news—but it's also a call to action. Clean energy is moving forward in the Midwest and that's a good thing. By pursuing rapid emission reductions, we can work to lessen the brunt of extreme heat we'll face in the years to come.
What are the projected heat impacts in the Midwest?
Here's some findings from the Killer Heat report focusing in on our region assuming no action to limit global heat-trapping emissions:
The U.S. Midwest region (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin), which has historically seen an average of 6 days with a heat index over 100°F, is projected to see an average of 53 days per year with a heat index over 100°F. The region will also see 38 days per year with a heat index above 105°F and seven "off-the-charts" days per year by the end of the century.
For Illinois specifically, there have historically been 34 days per year on average with a heat index above 90°F. This would increase to 80 days per year on average by midcentury and 107 days by century's end. The state has historically had 7 days per year on average with a heat index above 100°F, but this would increase to 43 days per year on average by midcentury and 69 by the century's end. And instead of having an average of two days per year with a heat index above 105°F, Illinois would see such extreme heat events 26 days per year on average by midcentury and 51 days a year by the century's end.
By mid-century (2036-2070) regions of the United States with little to no extreme heat in an average year would experience such heat on a regular basis. Heat conditions across the Southeast and Southern Great Plains regions, including Southern Illinois and Missouri, are projected to become increasingly oppressive, with off-the-charts heat days happening an average of once or more annually.
While dangerous to everyone, these extreme heat events are especially risky to outdoor workers and vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women. Lower-income neighborhoods may also be more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and death due to lack of transportation and air-conditioning infrastructure—similar to what happened during the tragic 1995 heat wave that gripped Chicago. My colleague Joe Daniel posted a blog today focusing on utility disconnection policies and the need to ensure that vulnerable populations are not cut off from vital services during extreme heat events.
An opportunity to reduce extreme heat days
Even with rapid, aggressive action to reduce emissions, it's going to get hotter in the Midwest and everywhere else. But perhaps the most important finding from this new analysis is that curbing emissions can reduce the number of days of extreme heat.
For instance, the UCS report found that, with global action to limit emissions, the average number of days in Midwest states with heat indices above 90°F could be reduced from 62 to 54 by mid-century. And instead of averaging 30 days with heat indexes of 100°F or more, we could have 22.
So yes, it's going to get hotter in the Midwest. But by reducing the number of dangerous heat days, we can save lives. Indeed, another recent study found that limiting global warming to 2°C or 1.5°C can avoid hundreds of heat-related deaths in cities like Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis.
Taking action in Midwest states
In addition to demanding climate action at the federal level and supporting international agreements to limit carbon pollution, we can take important steps to ensure Midwest states are leading the way and doing our part to reduce emissions.
For instance, advocates in Illinois are pushing for enactment of the Clean Energy Jobs Act to provide additional clean energy policies and build on the progress that has made the state a leading wind energy producer and a developer of solar programs to benefit all communities.
In Michigan, UCS and other stakeholders are urging electric utilities to continue phasing out coal-fired power plants and replace them with clean energy technologies like wind and solar power and energy efficiency instead of natural gas.
Minnesota is considering legislation to increase rapid deployment of solar and wind power, as well as energy storage, in a smart and cost-effective manner to complement Xcel Energy's own plan to reduce carbon emissions and boost solar power.
In addition to last week's heat wave, we have seen climate change affecting us here in the Midwest through the extremely wet weather in recent months contributing to the Great Lakes' record high water levels and the disruption of corn and soybean planting season due to flooded farmland.
Last week's Killer Heat report stands as a warning of not only a wetter, but a dangerously hotter region.
We don't have to accept this outcome as a foregone conclusion. Starting at the local and state level, we can take action to lessen the severity of extreme heat in ways that save lives and revitalize our economy through clean energy and clean transportation.
Thank you to Sarah Sung, Midwest Clean Energy Policy and Outreach Intern, for assistance in preparing this blog post.

How can you publish such misleading statements? summer temps in the midwest have been cooling for some years and cannot begin to compare with the heatwave of 1936
Renewableguy
The United States is 6.1% of the earth's surface. That doesn't make it a world number for average temperature.We are about a half degree warmer now than in 1936
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/DecadalTemp
The 1936 North American heat wave was one of the most severe heat waves in the modern history of North America. … Many state and city record high temperatures set during the 1936 heat wave stood until the summer 2012 North American heat wave. The 1936 heat wave followed one of the coldest winters on record.

Todd Martinez, with or without Dynasty?
I find it hard to imagine a DYNASTY without Todd, his face and positive attitude has become synonymous with the team.
Has Todd decided its time to change things up and if so, where will he go next? Read on for the latest update.
Ever since we announced that Archie from X-Factor would be joining DYNASTY, rumors have circulated that one of the team members would be leaving. Rumors have been flying that long time dyna-cat and marketing genius Todd Martinez may be looking to continue his career elsewhere. In typical PRO Paintball tradition, we've been looking to substantiate these rumors and get the inside scoop. Sources within the Dynasty camp have indicated that these are "just rumors", however, sources outside suggest that several teams have made offers to Todd in hopes that he will join their organization.
Will Todd continue his career with San Diego Dynasty or make a change up and keep things fresh? Sound off in the comments below!

Вулиця Вірменська — невелика вулиця в центрі Івано-Франківська, одна з найстаріших в місті. Веде від вул. Страчених до вул. Шеремети.

З історії вулиці
Заснована на початку XVIII ст. в межах колишнього середмістя, тобто всередині фортечних стін.

В цьому районі міста (на схід від площі Ринок) колись проживали перші поселення вірмен, що прибули до Станіслава в другій половині XVII ст.

Лише в середині XIX ст. вулиця отримала свою першу назву: Антоневича. З історії місцевих вірмен відомо про трьох представників цього прізвища. Це настоятелі вірменської церкви Домінік (1775—1795), Антон (1795—1815) та повстанець 1831 р., керівник загону національної ґвардії під час революції 1848-го, поет Микола Антоневич. Немає точних даних яке ім'я з них у назві вулиці.

Від 1945 р. вулиця іменувалася Єреванською, а з 1991-го — Вірменською. Вона точніше передає історичну пам'ять про вірменську дільницю.

Забудова

Раніше по правій стороні вулиці знаходилися два визначні християнські храми, які були розібрані на початку XIX ст.:
 на початку вулиці було подвір'я української церкви Св. Воскресіння (існувала 1670—1815);
 наприкінці — костьол монастиря тринітарів (1732—1830).

Будівлі
№1. Пам'ятка архітектури XIX ст.
Будинок був двоповерховий. Перебував в аварійному стані, зберегти його було неможливо. Після знесення в 2012 р. на його місці збудований італійський ресторан FABBRICA.

№2. Пам'ятка архітектури місцевого значення
(18-19 ст.) Житловий будинок.

№3. Пам'ятка архітектури місцевого значення
(1908) Житловий будинок.

№4. Пам'ятка архітектури місцевого значення
(1890-і рр.) Житловий будинок.

№5. Пам'ятка архітектури місцевого значення
(1903) Житловий будинок.

№6. Пам'ятка архітектури національного значення
(1763) Колишній вірменський костел (сьогодні — Покровський катедральний собор ПЦУ).

№8. Пам'ятка архітектури місцевого значення
(1762) Келії Вірменського костелу.

Since the first publication of Dracula in 1897, there have been suggestions that the book's protagonist is more closely associated with Jack the Ripper than a Transylvanian count. In The Dracula Secrets, historian Neil R. Storey undertakes an in-depth investigation of the sources used by Stoker during the writing of his seminal masterpiece. Painting an evocative portrait of Stoker, his influences, his friends and the London he frequented in the late nineteenth century, Storey explores how Stoker created Dracula out of the climate of fear that was created by the Whitechapel murders in 1888. Indeed he asks, did Stoker know Jack the Ripper personally and hide the clues to this terrible knowledge in his book? Having gained unprecedented access to the unique archive of one of Stoker's most respected friends and the dedicatee of Dracula, Storey sheds new light on both Stoker and Dracula, and reveals startling new links between Stoker's creation and the most infamous serial killer of all time.

Ready to kick-start your online entrepreneur career? Well you're certainly headed in the right direction!
We get asked quite often what tools we use for various aspects of our business. Quite frankly, it has been pretty inefficient of us to reply to each individual answering the same question over and over again. For this reason, we've decided to compile an organized list on what we've use on a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis to start, grow, and run our businesses.
Enough fluff, let's get right into it!
If you're looking for tools to use for certain tasks and don't want to scroll through all of our tools, use the navigation below to skip to the most useful content.
Content Creation – Everything we use to create content for our social media materials.
Organizing – Tools we use to make our lives a little easier and running like a well oiled machine.
Payments & Finances – What we use to handle our money.
Conferencing – Communication is key! Here's what we use to keep that line open.
Freelance Services – Where we go to hire freelancers for various tasks.
Motivation – Daily motivation is so essential to pushing ourselves to work hard.
Ivy: The moment I've come up with an idea for the next site, blog, product I'd like to create, I immediately secure my name with this company. I personally have been using this service for years and have roughly 20 domains registered with them to date. I love how simple their interface is to use and manage my many domains. Checkout is a breeze and prices are reasonable.
This is the CMS (Content Management System) that we use to create and manage our sites. If you're looking to build a blog, it is 100% ideal. If you're looking to build a community, its 100% ideal. If you're looking to build a simple 5-10 page site, it is 100% ideal lol… Get the picture? However, we HIGHLY recommend that if you're going to use wordpress, not to build it from wordpress.com – Siteground for instance gives you the option to pre-install WordPress unto your server during the setup process.
We currently use Mail Chimp for some of our mailing lists. We find the interface to be extremely friendly and easy to use. It is also a definite great mail service to start with if you're very new to mailing lists as they offer their smallest plan for free.
We currently use SiteGround for this site and our other brands as well and have found it to be an absolutely awesome service. Their customer service is A++ and their servers are fully optimized to effectively handle our WordPress sites.
Hands down THE best provider of premium WordPress themes. MHB, Incometips, The Royals Retreat, and What's Next Guide all currently use premium themes that were purchased from this website.
We also use Aweber for some of our mailing lists. No particular reason to be honest, it's really all a matter of preference and what you plan on doing with the list.
Ivy: This is a great software to use if you would consider yourself somewhat of a drawer. I use this to create simple graphics to use in accessorizing my marketing materials, logos, and posts.
Ivy: I get asked all the time what "app" I use to create my Instagram posts… Well ladies and gentlemen, this is it.
However, this is certainly no "app". It is a professional design software that can be used to create many, MANY things if you understand how to. I've used it to create a myriad of design materials for my clients when I did freelance graphic/webdesign, and still use it today for my own design materials.
An amazing resource to find custom typography to add to your content, marketing material, and logos. Their are fonts available for free-use, with and without attribution, as well as commercial.
Kenneth: I use this tool every time I sit down to write. Just paste your blog post title or email subject line in and voila! – you'll have perfectly spelled and capitalized titles every time.
Ivy: I currently use this program to create all of my books. The physical copy of Minding Her Business was created using this software and our interactive PDF What's Next Guide was also designed using this amazing piece of software. It did not take me long to figure out how to use it, but it's possible that I'm already quite experienced using Adobe products. No… no… this is pretty simple to learn how to use! You just have to understand its purpose and possibilities!
This is a GREAT resource to find elements, small graphics, and icons to add to your website and design material. We've used this site to create our own infographics by combining various icons. A lot of the icons we've used on this site as well as in the What's Next Guide feature icons from iconfinder. There are graphics available for free, with and without attribution, as well as commercial use.
AKA, the lifesaver. This is a great tool that we use to distribute our social media content through out our other various platforms. Whenever a post is made on Minding Her Business's Instagram page, it's then tweeted, posted to tumblr, and uploaded to the MHB fan page. This allows all of my platforms to stay up to date with content and the followers happy. We also use iFTTT for What's Next Guide and other processes like notifications for when we make a sale.
Kenneth: Experts claim that 8 out of 10 people will read the headline of your post, but only 2 out of those 10 will read the rest. That's depressing when you think about all of the effort we put into creating that content in the first place. CoSchedule's free "Headline Analyzer" is the tool I turn to for help. The analyzer grades your headlines and offers valuable feedback – aiding in the development of more effective writing skills.
We use this service to share big PSD files, design materials, receipts, and other documents we both need to use in order to collaborate and stay on the "same page".
Kenneth: Evernote is an organizational app on steroids. Use it to jot down a quick note, save an audio file, clip an important piece of information from the web, scan a business card, create a to-do list, snap a photo of a business receipt – I mean there isn't much it can't do. When you're ready to retrieve a piece of important information, just use the built-in search feature to locate it instantly. It can even find typed or handwritten text inside of images and documents!
Kenneth: I've been using Freshbooks to stay on top of my finances for over two years. I've tried quite a few accounting software services, but find this one to be the right balance of powerful-features and simplicity. I use it to track my time, create branded invoices, accept payments online, organize my expenses and create reports for my accountant. If you want to try it out, they offer a 30-day free trial.
Ivy: This is a great service that I currently use to distribute my eBook in PDF form. I love that payments are sent instantly to my PayPal the moment a user purchases my book, there is absolutely NO wait time. Their fee is only 5% and nothing else is taken after that.
We use this to receive and send money between our bank accounts. It's also very convenient for paying for online services.
Kenneth: Setting your business up properly is important, but it's also a bit stressful and definitely not fun. If you're like me, you want to focus on the parts of the business that excite you! For this reason, I used LegalZoom to set up two of my companies (an LLC and an S-corp). They can help you simplify otherwise complicated legal tasks, providing support when you need it and giving you peace of mind that things have been done correctly.
This is a great tool to hop on a call to communicate with your business associates while multi-tasking at your desk.
We often use this to screenshare whenever we get stuck with an issue and need a quick walk through. The quality is pretty great and it doesn't require installation of any heavy software in order to broadcast.
This is used by us VERY often to delegate small (and sometimes large) tasks. You'll be very surprised what you can find here, from content creation, marketing, branding, SEO – anything! Keep in mind that the entry services are essentially $5, but for a little extra $$ you can get way more than the standard gig.
This is a great place to find commission work for professional illustration and some design. I've used this site to find an illustrator to do the cover for Minding Her Business. That same illustrator was then used to create the illustrations for our "What's Next Guide" Characters.
You probably wouldn't have guessed that this is a great tool to use for daily motivation. Having our sites set on where went want to be and what we want to achieve is great mental fuel that inspires us to keep working on our goals. We have a shared board that we've used to pin images of awesome places we'd like to visit, images of the $$ of money we'd like to see in our bank account, and goal-oriented words like "debt free".
Kenneth: Momentum is a free Chrome extension that turns your internet browser into a productivity dashboard. It will ask you identify your most important task(s) for the day, help you manage distractions, inspire you with scenic photos and equip you with an endless supply of motivational quotes. It's been instrumental in my ability to get things done online.

Antique cash register "National"
Antique cash register of the famous American brand "National" (Russified name of the National Cash Register company). Metal. America, early twentieth century Cash registers came about thanks to the idea of one entrepreneur - James Ritty. The owner of the bar - he always suspected his employees of hiding income, for which he invented a metal box that securely fixes the money. Together with his brother, they were the first to patent the device they invented in the state of Ohio, on November 4, 1879. A distinctive sign of all nationalities is the ringing of a bell at the opening of the cash register. The cash register not only fixed income, but also helped to increase it specifically. The box office attracted a lot of spectators, and for many it became the first reason to go to Ritty's bar. Soon, Ritty set up the production of cash registers, but it was not easy to manage the two businesses at the same time, and he sold the patent to the businessman John Paterson, who established their release under the National Register Company brand. Patterson provided the checkout counter with a bell that seemed to tell customers that business was booming in a store or bar.

"While we wholeheartedly support hard-working, healthy families and fair wages, this particular proposal is not an effective economic policy," stated Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Public Affairs Mike Huckins, in a press release.
As one of 29 states that have minimum wages above the $7.25 federal minimum wage, Arizona already has a policy in place in which voters approved in 2006, that includes a provision for the minimum wage to increase on an annual basis, the release stated.
"Passing this measure would have negative consequences, not only from the perspective of the workers the wage increase is intended to benefit, but also for our state's economy," stated Mr. Huckins in the release.
A group called Arizonans for Fair Wages and Healthy Families filed paperwork in April 2016 for the November ballot measure with the Arizona Secretary of State. The Arizonans for Fair Wages and Healthy Families campaign must collect 150,642 signatures from registered voters by July 7 to qualify the proposal for the November ballot.
The Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce also opposes the measure's mandatory paid sick time.
