ENTREPRENEUR BIZ TIPS: INDIA – Engineering the future of innovation | Siddharth Rajhans | TEDxSCEM
Here's Great Tip: INDIA – Engineering the future of innovation | Siddharth Rajhans | TEDxSCEM
Here is Something You Should See…
In this captivating TEDx talk, Siddharth Rajhans, one of India's prominent TEDx speakers, through his years of experience of giving keynotes to engineering students across the country tries to encapsulate the ideology of Indian innovation and how we have to engineer the future of our country with the same pace and determination with which India has become a pioneer engineering nation in the world.
Siddharth explains the classic gap of engineering education in India and how it is churning out more tech professionals and fewer innovators. He connects this concept with the idea of "Make in India" and why it is paramount for our generation to think "India first" rather than focusing purely on personal goals. Known for his trademark wit and spontaneity in keynotes, Siddharth emphasizes on the need to keep contributing towards India's development – along the lines of the Sustainable development goals of the UN and trying to bridge the lack of patriotic influence in our engineering education.
This crisp TEDx video is packed with humor, taking digs at societal notions and pseudosciences along with the current culture of colleges, relationships, and so on – and weaves a lasting impression on the audience who might connect with college life in India. Siddharth is a well-known innovator and Harvard educated entrepreneur trying to make a difference to India's education system through his keynotes, work, and research. His interaction with over a million college students over 6 years is a testimony of his love for India and his effectiveness as a keynote speaker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Q: Should I await a Firestore set call in Firebase cloud functions Let's say I have a cloud function like this
export const setData = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
    await admin.firestore().doc("myPath").set({data: "myData"})
    return {success: true}
})

If I don't care about the firestore set call is successful or not,
can I remove the await? So the function returns earlier and reduces CPU usage time.
export const setData = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
    admin.firestore().doc("myPath").set({data: "myData"})
    return {success: true}
})

A: You will have problems if you remove the await.  Without it, the function will return immediately with the return value without waiting for the set() to complete.  The function will terminate along with any asynchronous work that's not finished.
With a callable function, the function must return with a promise that resolves only after all of the async work is complete.  The await keyword makes that happen in your case.

A: This is more like JS question than Firebase itself.
If you really don't care, no problem but you'll never know if anything returned or not, even if the function could be called normally as the return might just finish everything before the Firebase call is complete.

"returns earlier and reduces CPU usage time."

Using less CPU might be just a signal that your function is not working properly.
Also, Firebase is really fast and scalable, I would always recommend then/catch's to keep execution and catch errors, even just for logging purposes. Something like:
admin.firestore().doc("myPath").set({data: "myData"}).then(response => {
    return whateverYouWant(response)
}).catch(err => {
    return handleWhateverError(err)
})

Also, there's no need to keep async if you have no await in the function anymore.

Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh faces a tough political challenge as he tries to score a hat-trick in the assembly elections this year. Reposing confidence on Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's style of functioning, Singh believes good governance only can bring people closer.
Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh faces a tough political challenge as he tries to score a hat-trick in the assembly elections this year. Reposing confidence on Modi's style of functioning, Singh believes good governance only can bring people closer.
Will Centre's food scheme help Chhattisgarh and damage the political gains you expected through your state's food security law?
No way, in fact the Centre's scheme would do more harm than good to the people of Chhattisgarh. Our food law and scheme is a generation ahead of the Central act in terms of entitlements, reach and cost. Food security is a serious business. It should not be connected to electoral gimmicks.
Should Narendra Modi relinquish his position as CM so as to devote more time to the party? Are you comfortable that such a leader, with a riot stain, is being pitched as the PM candidate?
Modiji is a phenomenal leader with tremendous potential. He is effectively contributing as the chairman of BJP election campaign committee. Modiji has to decide how he wants to utilise his time and efforts. The propaganda of opposition parties is quite evident against Modi who couldn't be challenged by them through other ways. He became chief minister for the third consecutive time with support from every section of the society.
If BJP wins in the state you will score a hat-trick. Will that raise your political stature like that of Modi?
In our party, everyone has their own leadership style. Modiji is a very senior leader and we all look up to him.
During the yatra didn't you reach out to people through freebies?
Welfare schemes are part of the manifesto.
Will the incident of Congress leaders killed in Bastar attack spoil your party's chances this time with the tribals?
The Bastar incident was very unfortunate and evokes grief in me. I made conscious efforts to improve the conditions of tribals. Their support for us will remain.
Will the Congress infighting help your party to emerge strong?
Congress infighting is none of our concern. We are seeking positive votes on account of our performance.
Political analysts cite people's resentment against some ruling party MLAs and ministers that might lead to anti-incumbency?
I don't find any anti-incumbency factor. Merit and winnability would be the criteria.
Has your government failed to deal with Maoists issue?
We inherited the Maoist problem due to gross neglect of the area for the last 3- 4 decades. During my tenure efforts were made to establish rule of law. 'Rapid development' and 'strong action' remain our two-pronged strategy.
Do political yatras help in garnering votes? The Congress campaign against you remained aggressive through kalash and parivartan yatra?
I am overwhelmed with the tremendous response the yatra has been getting. It has also got people's feedback. As for parivartan or kalash yatra the turnout itself speaks volumes.
Any political compulsion for citing conspiracy in the Asaram case?
No. The government should ensure free and fair investigation. Law should take its own course.
Congress alleges poor performance and corruption in central schemes like MGNREGA, PMGSY, NRHM or FRA.
State Congress complains that senior ministers from Delhi appreciate our performance. Various central ministries praised the state government for doing exceedingly well. So, the allegations are nothing but politics.

Thanks to a PrestaShop forums' user, we can now easily extend modules' controllers without any hardcoded modification. Let's see how do do it!
Last Week, forum user alexdee2007 posted an interesting override: it allows us to extend PrestaShop Modules' controllers. Previously, we would have had to hardcode any modification within the originals, because the core system didn't allow for such overrides. You can find a link to the original thread at the end of the tutorial.
What does the override do?
Basically, it looks for the existence of any file, in the override directory, with the same path and name of the original controller. If it exists, it assigns the name plus "Override" to the current class name (which is what PrestaShop does already, for modules).
This way, to extend any Module's controller, we can simply create a file inside override/modules/*modulename*/controllers/front, named the same as the original, and then append Override to its Class name.
I tried to put this very handy override into my prestashop.
Unfortunately smartseoplus uses the same name ( dispatcher.php ) for an override.
What would be the best way to get both to work?
Whats happend if two or more modules overrides the same core module?


At the Hotel Univers, our restaurant is a definite highlight, showing the Andorran love of food, mixing French and Catalan cuisine to offer the best of both.
In winter, hearty stews and other dishes predominate, giving you the chance to replace some of those calories lost after a full day on the slopes.
In the warmer months, we shift towards lighter choices, with salads, pates, and so on more in evidence – though there's always some heartier options available, in case you've been hiking or biking (or shopping!) all day.
We also offer a picnic service, so that you can take your lunch with you each day if required.
All dishes are prepared by our chef and his team.
The hotel has a small bar for a coffee, an infusion or tea, soft drinks, or something stronger at any time of day. Share a moment of downtime with your friends, family or partner in the lounge on the first floor, playing pool or just enjoying the rest and relaxation with a drink or refreshment after a day of nature, sport or shopping .

Freddie Mac / Bank of America / Taylor Bean Whitaker – IMPORTANT INFO & STATEMENT REGARDING ASSIGNMENTS… TRANSFERS… NOTE OWNERSHIP!!!
Today, June 21, 2010, 31 minutes ago | Foreclosure Fraud "Indeed, it appears as though many loans and other mortgage-related assets have been double and even triple-pledged to various constituencies"
6 21 10-Freddie-Objection-to-Boa-in-Re-Taylor-Bean-amp-Whitaker-Mortgage-Corp1
6 21 10 Boa-Answer-to-Freddie-Objection-in-Re-Taylor-Bean-amp-Whitaker-Mortgage-Corp1
By Nye Lavalle
In my 1999 21st Century Loan Sharks Report, I coined and defined the term "Predatory Mortgage Securitization" (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_mortgage_securitization) in my report from MY PERSONAL RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS I DEFINED SOME THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES THAT DEFINED Predatory Mortgage Securitization….
Securitizations that are termed and classified as "whole loan" and "true" sales "without recourse" that are really financing mechanisms with undocumented side deals and agreements for recourse which may not be able to be classified as investments in real estate and may have tax and reporting consequences for purchasers; Stamping, filing and recording loan and mortgage instruments that indicate loan was sold "without recourse" when in fact there were recourse provisions; Failing to record in country records the true and real ownership, assignment and endorsements of promissory notes, deeds and other mortgage documents which were part of sale, assignment or transfer; Knowingly accepting via computer tapes the principal balances of loans offered for securitization when the servicers, investment bank or securitizer has knowledge that problems or potential fraud existed in the servicing operation of the bank, servicer, broker originating, selling, assigning or transferring the loan; Knowingly accepting via computer tapes the principal balances of loans offered for securitization when the servicers, investment bank or securitizer has knowledge that problems or potential fraud existed in the servicing operation of the bank, servicer, broker originating, selling, assigning or transferring the loan and the new owners, servicer and assignee securitizing the loan pool does not possess the full and complete loan transaction histories for each borrower; Knowingly accepting loans and not disclosing to investors problems with loan documentation; missing, altered or fraudulent documentation in loan file; chain of titles and ownership; threatened legal actions; current regulatory actions or complaints made about loans assigned; Reporting problems or improper custody, maintenance and control of promissory notes, deeds and other loan documents; Offering for sale and securitization interests in notes, deeds or other mortgage instruments that the servicer or securitizer does not have a real interest in; Offering for sale and securitization interests in notes, deeds or other mortgage instruments that the servicer or securitizer does not have in their custody or control; Offering for sale and securitization interests in notes, deeds or other mortgage instruments that the servicer or securitizer has offered for sale to someone else; Offering for sale and securitization interests in notes, deeds or other mortgage instruments that the servicer or securitizer is owned by someone other than party identified in the prospectus; In essence on thousands of occasions I stated to regulators, CEOS, banks, Fannie and Freddie that the practices of the banks were that they were double and multi-pledging assets and pledging paid off and refinance notes to securitizations. This is something April, Max and I have discussed for years now. Now, they come and admit that each of my allegations were true Without analyzing the deal, as complex as they are, you WILL NEVER KNOW IF THE FORECLOSING PARTY HAS "ANY" RIGHT TO FORECLOSE!!!
The motives I identified for the "Blank Endorsements" and missing assignments and "pre-notarized" "Blank Assignments" and "Blank Allonges" that "were placed into the "custodial/collateral" files were to be able to:
Multi-pledge collateral (Notes) so as to cook the books; In case of bankruptcy, allow the entity in possession of the notes to simply transfer to another entity to be decided or themselves the notes etc… so as to keep out of the bankruptcy estate of the bankrupt creditor; To pretend to show that a "true sale" occurred when in reality the so-called lenders were financing their receivables; Complete and change chains in titles to notes that were toxic where fraud was known and HDC could be achieved; Shuffle the ball (note) under the shell (owner) so as to subvert TILA, RESPA, and FDCPA claims and other lawsuit claims and any related HDC and assignee liability issues.
Now, in BOA's Motion in the TBW case, they prove my allegations that the notes were multi-pledged and my statement for years that unless you see where each note comes on and off the books, and review the custodial documents, you will NEVER KNOW WHO OWNS THE NOTE and has any right to accelerate, amend, modify, settle, payoff, satisfy, return, and cancel the note, let alone authority or standing to foreclose.
Here is the key part from the motion….
On numerous occasions, the Debtor has informed the Court and other parties in interest that one of the biggest challenges in this case will be sorting out the competing claims to cash and other assets that flowed through the Debtor's accounts prior to the bankruptcy filing.
Indeed, it appears as though many loans and other mortgage-related assets have been double and even triple-pledged to various constituencies. According to the Debtor, the largest single source of disputed funds—more than $548 million according to the Debtor's Second Interim Reconciliation Report—relates to Freddie Mac. Indeed, BofA believes that there were improper diversions of Ocala loans and assets from TBW to Freddie Mac, and Ocala may have valid ownership claims with respect to a substantial portion of assets that relate to Freddie Mac. Accordingly, there can be little doubt that BofA, in its representative capacities with respect to Ocala, has a valid and pressing need for information regarding Freddie Mac's extensive relationship with the Debtor, which is directly relevant and necessary to evaluate the Debtor's property, liabilities, and financial condition. In just a few weeks, the Debtor intends to file an Asset Reconciliation Report that will identify with greater specificity (but, importantly, not resolve) the remaining issues with respect to ownership rights. As a result, the need for BofA to gain access to documents in Freddie Mac's possession has become particularly urgent.
Among other things, BofA needs to obtain documents from and examine witnesses at Freddie Mac to (1) evaluate competing claims against the estate, (2) test the assumptions contained in the Asset Reconciliation Report, and (3) examine Freddie Mac's claim of ownership with respect to certain mortgage assets and its custodial arrangements with Colonial Bank for those assets. Despite these time sensitivities, Freddie Mac has so far blocked BofA's ability to obtain any of this information, including those documents that have already been produced to the Debtor and counsel for the Committee. In its objection, Freddie Mac goes to great lengths to characterize the BofA 2004 Motion as overly burdensome, massively expensive, improperly motivated, and generally disruptive to the ongoing discovery between the Debtor and Freddie Mac. Even if such arguments had any merit under the circumstances (which they do not), the simple fact remains: nearly three months after the Court entered its order on the Debtor's Rule
2004 motion authorizing and directing examination of Freddie Mac, BofA has not been able to review a single document… Be sure to sift through the files below… Fascinating…

Robin, on September 11, 2011 at 2:15 am said:
I would send a QWR to Bank of America to Start. Make sure you ask them for a copy of the originial note, and the assignment of mortgage in the request. It appears that TBW an B of A is acting as the servicer of your loan. Read your loan documents very very carefully. If the documents don't tell you who is your lender, Chances are bank of America don't know. This could be the main reason that you are not in foreclosure. Foreclosure is a law suite for breach of contract, and Bank of America did not lend you money or claims to own the loan, Therefore, it's diffcult to prove you owe any money. Mortgage fraud is quite common you need a trained eye to spot a fraudulent note or assignment. Be prepared to fight because B of A or someone may try to steal your home. Learn the Judicial process, State Statues, The rules of Civil Procedure. You well need them, Even if you Hire a Lawyer.

My mortgage was through TBW. In 2008 my husband lost his job, and TBW would not allow us to make partial payments until his unemployment started. Long story short, TBW forced us out of our house. Our loan was transferred to BOA in 2009, and BOA will NOT work with us on a modification nor will they help us. We were approved by BOA for short sale last year. An offer was made on the house and BOA turned it down stating we were not approved. Our house has not been paid for in 3 years and no foreclosure has been done, however BOA has us listed in their system as foreclosed. I was told by a Forensic Mortgage Auditor that she thinks our loan is not assigned to a lender that is why BOA will not work with us. Due to the fact that BOA is ONLY the creditor, they do not know who holds the note to our house. I'm now hearing things that Freddie Mac is the actual lender on most BOA loans taken over from TBW. Can anyone tell me if this is true, or give me some insight on how to find out who holds the note to my property. We would love to save our home, but BOA is NOT in anyway, shape or form helpful. All they want is the money and they refuse to work with us.

I merely trying to find out who owns a piece of property that I'm interested in purchasing. County records show Taylor, Bean, & Whittaker as being owner. A notice recently put in the window of the home states it is owned now by BOA/ROA. They do not show anything on the property. How can I go about finding info on this property?

I'm looking for proof that my loan was sold into a PSA, Pool Servicing Agreement or that my loan was Securitized.
My servicers are First Federal Savings Bank of Leesburg, Colonial Bank, and Branch Banking & Trust.
The loan was taken out in 2004.

I living in Colorado where we have non-judicial trustee sales. The judge allowed OneWest to sell my home despite the fact that I had irrefutable proof from the FDIC that OneWest was not the real party in interest, Freddie Mac was (allegedly) from a screen shot of OneWest's own database system. It clearly showed the original loan with IndyMac was sold to Freddie Mac in 2004.
Long story short, Colorado has an expedited process called a 120 hearing which is unappealable. OneWest bought the property at the Trustee sale for a deficiency bid and a few weeks later flipped it to Freddie Mac for $10.
Now Freddie Mac has filed an FED (Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer) action against me, which I'm fighting. I filed a previous law suit against OneWest, but since they are now out of the picture we are going to substitute Freddie Mac.
What I need to know is where and who to serve the papers to at Freddie Mac? Does anyone know?

Difficult to prove a "red flag" – but it should be part of discovery. You can start by looking at your credit reports – if accounts have been sold to another lender- this should be reported (but often it will not be – because credit reporting is a mess).
The Consumer Data Industry Association publishes credit reporting standards called "Metro 2" – which are used by most financial institutions. They discuss account number changes through a question that regards "partial charge-off." They write:
Question: Is there a preferred method of reporting when an account is partially charged-off?
Answer: Report the original account with the appropriate Account Status for that month (e.g., Current, 30 days delinquent, 60 days delinquent) with a balance that does not include the amount charged to loss.
The charged-off portion of the balance would be reported as a separate account with a new Account Number. If the new account is subsequently charged off, both accounts would be reported as Account Status Code 97 (Charge-off), but would have different Original Charge-off Amounts.
End. From me – Stands to reason that a fully charged-off account would be assigned a new account number. Guidelines for charge-off reporting is 180 days. This does not mean a bank has to sell collection rights after charge-off – but most do – and often with prearranged buyers.
Also, a SPV Mortgage Schedule often lists original loan numbers that are also on original mortgage loan note. Although the Schedule may include your original loan number – that loan number no longer exists – and, really should not be traced to you.

I know of opposite instances where loans showed up in Fannie/Freddie – but subsequently disappeared!!!

I believe in order for a loan to be securitized it must be sold a minimum of 2 times. I believe I read that somewhere. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to pass on incorrect info. I may have interpreted incorrectly.

ANONYMOUS, on June 28, 2010 at 3:21 pm Said:
Different account numbers is a red flag. Each time a mortgage loan is sold – you get a new account number. The old number is dead and gone. And, the original Mortgage Schedule that contained your original loan number – is no longer relevant. In addition, your mortgage note contains the original loan number – how the heck will that ever be discharged – either by foreclosure or bankruptcy – when that loan number is gone – charged-off – written off – missing in action?.
Colonial Bank was taken over by the FDIC – they should be able to give you all information regarding your loan. Contact the Ombudsman. Demand to know the path of your loan.
MY COMMENT..
how can we prove this ? I'm in foreclosure and need to prove it .. as my original loan number HAS been changed thus it's been sold.. is the FACT that the loan number was changed PROOF enough?? i am thinking it is not. THUS how do we prove it's been sold thus securitization was committed , FRAUD HAS been committed. and the contract is VOID. right ????

Thank you for your response. I have contacted the FDIC in the past but I used the servicer's name. I will contact them again. We just made the 3rd payment of our FAUX trial modification. We said we would make 3 trial payments in "good faith". So when the Shiot hits the fan we can at least say to the Judge that we tried to work with the "servicer"/"pretender lender".
You can't ?………. Now show me the frickin Note. The wet document with our blue ink signatures. I have to say WE ARE SOOO tired. It's been 16 months for us. I know that there are others that have struggled longer. This fight has to result in something. It can't be for naught.

BofA- on my NOTE, at the bottom of the document filed with the county it states "NO RECOURSE" with a stamp and signed by the VP of BofA…does that many it is a non recourse loan?
WITHOUT RECOURSE:
A phrase used by an endorser (a signer other than the original maker) of a negotiable instrument (for example, a check or promissory note) to mean that if payment of the instrument is refused, the endorser will not be responsible.
An individual who endorses a check or promissory note using the phrase without recourse specifically declines to accept any responsibility for payment. By using this phrase, the endorser does not assume any responsibility by virtue of the endorsement alone and, in effect, becomes merely the assignor of the title to the paper.
A without recourse endorsement is governed by the laws of commercial paper, which have been codified in Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC has been adopted wholly or in part by every state, establishing uniform rights of endorsers under UCC § 3-414(1).
A without recourse endorsement is a qualified endorsement and will be honored by the courts if certain requirements are met. Any words other than "without recourse" should clearly be of similar meaning. Because the payee's name is on the back of the note, he is presumed to be an unqualified endorser unless there are words that express a different intention. The denial of recourse against a prior endorser must be found in express words. An implied qualification, based on the circumstances surrounding the endorsement to a third party, will not be recognized by the courts. An assignment of a note is generally regarded as constituting an endorsement, and the mere fact that an instrument is assigned by express statement on the back does not make the signer a qualified endorser.
The qualification without recourse, or its equivalent, is limited to the immediate endorsement to which it applies. It may precede or follow the name of the endorser, but its proximity to the name should be such as to give a subsequent purchaser reasonable notice of the endorsement to which it applies.
A person might agree to accept a check without recourse if the person believes she could collect the money in question. Often the purchaser of such a note will acquire it at a substantial discount from the face value of the note, in recognition that the purchaser can only seek to collect the money from the original maker of note.
An example of a without recourse note is a personal check written by A, the maker, to B, the payee. B, in turn pays off a debt to C by endorsing the check and adding the without recourse phrase. If A's bank refuses to pay C the check amount because A has insufficient funds in his checking account, C cannot demand payment from B. C will have to attempt to collect the money from A.

TBW was a whole loan aggregator. Not a securitizer and has nothing to do with the current mess. As an aggregator you aquire assets and pool them for sale.
Whole loans are sold and with no retained interest as compared t a registration.'
There was not a year gone by where an investor did not wire $20 million into the wrong account. Its called being out of trust! There is no way the warehouse line could let it go and the money had better be returned.
So I can guarantee thats what happened and Colonial could not tally the misappropriation due to its "less than arms" relationship with TBW. The trust was breached.
This is a trust issue and not relevant to the current dilema. That is just bank fraud and an FDIC embarrasing nightmare.

COMMENTS – Securitizations that are termed and classified as "whole loan" and "true" sales "without recourse"
Soliman Q: your recourse is the repo which the lenders use to favor themselves versus avoid. (?) (?)
Comment: Those are really financing mechanisms with undocumented side deals and agreements for recourse
Soliman(Q) Your referring to the purchase and sale agreement correct?
Comments: Which may not be able to be classified as investments in real estate and may have tax and reporting consequences for purchasers?
Soliman(Q) You're talking about the financing of receivables and offering of securities which are governed by securities law, correct?
Comments:Stamping, filing and recording loan and mortgage instruments that indicate loan was sold "without recourse" when in fact there were recourse provisions;
Soliman(Q) The things you identified here are REPO provisions and yes, against whom? The seller friend is long gone and bankrupt or on the run.
Soliman(Q)The loan funded on a FSB line under FDIC Authority and was credited to capitalize a new business segment. Violation FIERREA.It's now a charge and offset by NOL carry forward as OBAMA approved earlier this year under tarp amendment.
Soliman(Q)That's dual consideration bubba! The FSB now holds a liability for an investment in a delisted and consolidated entity no longer recognized as a spe.The originating lender was an FSB under FDIC authority. The loan you recived was charged to zero. You cannot repossess zero …got it.
Soliman(Q)The sale is staged to appear its stauatory…but just a sale. It's done on a credit bid to reestablish basis in an asset charged to zero.
Its a Fraud. . . .but nice find !

Tell us how the state should fix this pothole at our April event series.
How would YOU fix Michigan's roads?
Every Michigander seemingly has an answer for this. Maybe you want lower weight limits on trucks, more durable road construction material, a different method for state funding, perhaps by instituting toll roads.
Whatever you have to say, The Center for Michigan wants to hear it!
REGISTER TODAY for one of three events this April during our Solutions Summit series, "Fixing Michigan's Road Mess."
Michiganders are the ones who drive on our roads every day. It's your commute. Your time. Your taxes. Your vehicle repair bills. Your voice should be heard during this roads debate.
These free morning Summits will be hosted by the Center, in partnership with local organizations in Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids.
You will have the opportunity to learn more about roads and how they're funded from panels of experts and local leaders. Then Alexandra Schmidt, the Center for Michigan's Public Engagement Director, will facilitate a guided audience session that will seek your input and questions. Your thoughts will then be included in the Center's spring 2019 Citizen's Agenda, a report that will be delivered directly to every House and Senate member in Lansing.
In partnership with Crain's Detroit Business, this Roads Solutions Summit will take place on the fifth floor of the Madison building near Comerica Park, located at 1555 Broadway St, Detroit, MI 48226. Public parking only, doors will open at 8:30 a.m. Tickets are complimentary, coffee and pastries will be provided.
Crain's senior reporter Chad Livengood will deliver the opening remarks, and Bridge Magazine's Chastity Pratt Dawsey will moderate the panels. Speakers to be announced, stay tuned! Grab your ticket at Eventbrite.
In partnership with Public Sector Consultants, this Road Solutions Summit will take place in the Governor's Room at the Lansing Center, 333 E Michigan Ave, Lansing, MI 48933. Paid parking is available onsite. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. Attendance is free, coffee and pastries will be provided.
In partnership with the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce, this Roads Solutions Summit will take place at the Chamber's office, 250 Monroe Ave NW suite 150, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. Public parking only, doors will open at 8:30 a.m. This is a free event, coffee and pastries will be provided.
This is the 8th statewide public engagement campaign hosted by The Center for Michigan. The Center is a nonpartisan nonprofit which works to engage with at least 5,000 residents every year to identify resident priorities for the state legislature and amplify those views to state leaders.
Over 50,000 Michigan residents have taken part in the Center's campaigns. Resident voices in past campaigns have convinced the legislature to, for example, increase funding for pre-K education, cut corrections spending, invest more deeply in Pure Michigan, and more. Bridge Michigan is a journalism project of the Center for Michigan.
How about opening the rainy day fund? What better way to fix the damn roads!
I lean toward higher tax on gas/diesel, along with making sure ALL those funds go directly to road maintenance. Nobody likes higher taxes but the money just isn't there otherwise. People can scream about government waste all they want, though the reality is that they can't cut enough spending to fix roads without serious detriment to other government functions/services.
I don't agree with a sales tax increase, in that it's too regressive. Those who don't own vehicles or who drive very little should not be punished with higher sales taxes on everything they buy.
Not sure how to feel about toll roads and wonder if they actually pay for themselves.
comments to see hopefully better ideas.
Is a sales tax "regressive"? In two words, "who cares?" It is not the political establishment's problem to coddle any group. It doesn't matter what anybody does, there will always be some that have more and others that have less. And the concept that we should elect "somebody" to "do something about it" is about the most foolish thing anybody can do. You know that since we as a society have determined that cigarette smoking is evil, we don't hear or see any large levels of complaints about the taxation of cigarettes. In fact, most seem to endorse it. Don't bother with the shifting and diversion but a substantial increase in fuel taxes with the stipulation that it be used for structure and no pander would make sense. As long as we also send that insane and stupid CAFE legislation to the garbage heap too. In so many ways, CAFE is the purest form of that evil "regressive" taxation. Because the truth is, it only benefits the politicians. Not us and it never will. Just raise fuel taxes on the national level and proportionally return it to states with the direction that it be used for structure. But the truth is, we don't have any inventive of courageous political representation these days. They all worry about "the party" or what sort of crap the twits in the press will write. The nation is secondary and not even on the radar anymore.
(1) inclusion of priorities into Smart State plan for implementation in Regional Planning Agency areas (which set annual priorities for Federal transportation, land use and services funding) and local community college areas (Digital Economy areas of US Department of Commerce), and agendas for annual calendars of counties, cities and townships.
(2) Partnership with U Michigan, MSU infrastructure research and Extension services to assist in Smart State public engagement forum outreach, management (including keypad polling tools) and archiving and adoption of Smart and Connected Communities frameworks for each Digital Economy area, including as framework for planning 5G Mobility Infrastructure for Vehicles, and for Transforming local government performance through cooperation and consolidation agreements.
(2) Integrating Transportation and Mobility civic engagement process with Watershed Management and Resiliency planning of regional planning agencies and Great Lakes natural resources and Great Lakes Smart State partnerships.
From recommendations of Internet Public Trust, including recommendations for Smart Berrien County and SW Michigan, and work with Illinois Smart State and Connected Communities civic engagement and Big Data initiatives.
The well to do in Michigan depend upon the labors of multitudes of lower income workers. The best and most socially equitable formula for generating additional funds for road improvements is to increase the income taxes for those of higher income levels and reduce the burden for lose who must often travel many miles to work for the"man". This has proven to absolutely not destroy the incentives for business and to provide an attractive cause to remain in Michigan for those who labor.
Yes that way the "Rich"' will have nice roads to move from Michigan with its non deductible state income tax to FL TX or others with no state income tax at all.
Actually it appears as though Florida does have a 13.4 cents per gallon gas tax.
If the Rich don't want to pay their share they can leave.
Vs. Michigan at @26? But great idea, maybe we can just kick them out?
We are not provide sufficient information to offer informed suggestions or ideas to improve out roads.
What criteria are used to judge our roads? In my town the roughest riding half mile of road [one that is consistently mentioned when talk is about roads] is due to the poor quality of road repairs, such as sealing cracks [not pot holes], where the repairs create a washboard affect.
What are the causes of that a creating the unacceptable conditions of the roads?
What are the new technologies available for road construction and what are they suppose to deliver?
What are the performance expectation of our current roads and what would be necessary to do to improve or extend those expectations?
Just drove to Niagara Falls through Canada and their roads were nice. Similar weather to Mi. the roads seemed better.
A century ago, Detroit became a city of over one million utilizing Annexation. 100 years later, Detroit 2.0 can do it again. Michigan has over 180 communities in economic distress, many in SE MI. Annexation with its benefit of increased federal revenue sharing for cities of over one million, is one way of reversing the donor state status of MI. Increased revenue can then be added to other components of a comprehensive funding solution for infrastructure improvements. The same possibility exists for the Grand Rapids SMSA with over one million in population. Successful models exist; Charlotte-Mecklinburg and Texas to name two. Detroit has already proven regional approaches to governance can work; The Water Authority and the Convention Center. Working together could make this possible by 2020. Our loss of population over the last decade serves as a catalyst to leverage current numbers by Annexation, to maximize our value.
I think holding these summits is a great idea and I commend Center for Michigan for doing this. There is a big disconnect between solving real problems, like the condition of the roads and what elected officials are willing to do to solve the problem. We need that upward pressure from the grassroots to give political cover for our elected officials to make, what they perceive as tough votes.
Michigan has the highest auto insurance in the nation. Fix that and we'll save hundreds of dollars annually. Charge each driver an annual fee equal to about 50% of the savings. Citizens end up paying significantly less each year while lawyers and the medical industry get less and roads get better.
Why can't you just raise the sales tax a penny or two and call it good? I am unable to attend a meeting.
Glad to see that all of the meetings are being held to guarantee that the meeting will get more than its share of representation. The rest of us get to drive from 200 to 700 miles to be heard. Business as usual in Lansing.
Easy fix to the road funding is to make the legislature restore ALL of the funding over the last 50 years that they have diverted to fund all of the other programs that they didn't have funding for. I'm tired of the lies that flow like a river from these elected officials. No more taxes and let the people who caused the problem , fix it.
Attended the Detroit meeting. Thought the public comment period should be longer and maybe at the beginning so all the panel "guests" would stay and listen to the people of Michigan. All the solutions seem to be oriented to sticking the taxpayers and no mention of the business community responsibility. With the last eight years of shifting the burden to working stiffs, it's time our government look out for wage earners. We just have been told our outrageous auto insurance will raise fees $220 on every vehicle in Michigan. Pensioners get their pensions taxed now and the wealthy and business just got a huge federal taxcut which could of been spent on infrastructure spending including roads in Michigan. So at your next townhall include the responsibility of those who can afford to pay more I.E. business. They can afford to hire lobbyists/media to stick us with the bill but maybe, just maybe the disenfranchised will get a break for once.
Tax cigarettes & alchohol (both abused highly in this state) and the new marijuana stuffs more.
Start fining bars, bar tenders and their owners.
Plus, start fining and ticking stadium goers leaving stone drunk to drive home.
Also, where the Sam hill is the money from the lottery, that's supposed to be go to schools? An audit needs to be done on that.
Start fining and ticketing people more heavily, driving using their cell phones.


Having problems getting images to appear.
Have got it working in a test page, however when i put it into the page i'm working up it doesn't work.
After digging around could it possibly be a window.onload command conflict?
If so how do i get around this to process the two commands and not just the last listed one?
write('<layer name="ns_marquee2" left=0 top=0 onMouseover="copyspeed=pausespeed"
There could still be other problems.
It worked great in firefox, but i'm getting an error in IE.
No movement in the conveyor or the sliding text.
I will upload the page now i've got my dns settings sorted to include the full mess that is the code.
I found i could use a simple marquee tag to do what was needed and solve the IE problem.


Just like when we featured this hyper-detailed Ecto-1 car, we always get a bit giddy at the mention of some new Ghostbusters merchandise, despite the film now being 34 years old. Mezco Toyz, who are known for creating realistic action figures, have stepped up to the mark with a special set of four figures of the original Ghostbusters. And Slimer.
Each character comes with a tonne of accessories, an alternate head, extra hands, light-up Proton Packs, and authentic fabric clothing. Called the One:12 Collective Ghostbusters Deluxe Box Set, it will no doubt be popular with GB fans... who can afford it. Currently, Mezco Toyz are selling it for $300.
Which is a damn bargain in our opinion. The look of the faces, the articulation of the figures, and the wealth of accessories go together to make a great looking set.

Government shut down, Capuano quietly seethes
By Adrian Walker Globe Columnist,October 2, 2013, 12:00 a.m.
American flags weren't flying at half-staff yesterday, but our national government was certainly floundering.
Across New England, beloved landmarks were closed for business. Some confused federal employees probably wondered whether they were essential or nonessential.
And in the midst of it all, Michael Capuano was quietly seething. The longtime Somerville congressman was not happy to see federal government brought to a halt. And he wasn't optimistic about a quick resolution to the first government shutdown in 17 years.
"It's a combination of frustrated and pensive," he said of the mood among House Democrats. "It's pretty obvious that we're not going to repeal health care reform. That being the case, somebody's got to move, and we've moved already."
First elected in 1998, Capuano has become an insider among House Democrats. Although he would be loath to admit it, he has come to relish the daily battle with Republicans, who, he believes, are all too happy to accept the benefits from programs they vote against.
The stalemate that shuttered big chunks of federal government has widely been cast as a battle over the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. But Capuano sees it as a far broader battle over the scope of government itself, one in which, in his view, Republicans have won far too much already.
As we spoke by phone yesterday, plans were being gingerly floated to get the government going temporarily. Those ideas all involved budget cuts that went well beyond the current sequestration, furthering the stated Tea Party goal of shrinking government as much as possible.
How long the government will be held hostage to this dubious agenda is anybody's guess. Some observers believe that the shutdown could well last until the next manufactured Washington crisis, the looming showdown over raising the debt ceiling, just a couple of weeks away.
While this silliness was unfolding, Obamacare was becoming a reality. Tuesday was the first day for the uninsured to begin to sign up for its insurance plans. No matter how long the shutdown lasts, the chances of undoing health care reform seemed pretty remote. So really the John F. Kennedy Library and Faneuil Hall are closed for no good reason.
Of course, not everyone views this as a bad fight. Capuano said he was in an airport last weekend flying home from Washington when a TSA screener stopped him and said, "You really need to cut our taxes!" Capuano was incredulous to hear that from a federal employee, though he probably shouldn't have been.
"I asked him, 'Do you know taxes pay your salary?' " Capuano said with a laugh.
Some have said the shutdown illustrates the large ideological gulf between House Republicans and the White House. Certainly that is true, though this divide is nothing new.
The more important disconnect may be between Washington — or some factions of Washington — and the rest of the country. We'd rather not have to think much about the federal government, that hydra-headed monster that invisibly wields so much power over our lives. But the people who have thought Americans don't care about having the government shut down have an unbroken record, so far, of being mistaken. Love or hate the federal government, we tend to have this crazy idea that it belongs to us.
Capuano is the first to say that he isn't an optimist by nature. But he believes that there might be something to be gained from the madness gripping Washington.
"For me, the silver lining will be if the American people come out of this with a reconnection with what is done with federal dollars," he said. "There are 4,000 state jobs that are paid for with federal money, but nobody knows that. People are busy; I understand that. But people are going to have to look in the mirror and think about what they want their government to be."

Intervenne al Concilio di Pisa nel 1409. La situazione precaria della Chiesa, dilaniata dallo scisma d'Occidente, si ripercosse anche nell'episcopato nolense di Marco. L'antipapa Benedetto XIII, che visitò Savona nel 1406, consacrò vescovo di Noli un certo Leonardo da Felizzano, frate domenicano, che risulta dalle cronache locali vescovo di Noli nel 1408. Marco in ogni caso continuò a ricoprire la carica di vescovo per conto dei pontefici residenti a Roma. Nel 1414 un secondo vescovo illegittimo risulta presente a Noli: fra' Giovanni, che in quell'anno partecipò al concilio di Costanza.

Sunday January 26, 2014 was my last day of living in Aptos. Naturally I thought it would be nice to have a image of the final sunset. Unfortunately mother nature threw the marine layer at me and wrecked what I had hoped would have been a stunning sunset. Guess I'll have to return another time and try again.

Kent Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Elizabeth King—Studio: Things Found, Things Made. The exhibition constitutes a small retrospective, selected to demonstrate the cascading sequence by which her pieces evolve from an initial sculptural object to its film animation to installations that explore variations in the presentation of sculpture and film together. Included will be King's 1991 jointed figure Pupil (on loan from the Hirshhorn) shown with the animations and photographs that she has made with it, as well as her most recent sculpture, a miniature hand carved out of boxwood shown with a stop-frame animation of the piece (which the artist created working with one of the animators for Tim Burton's film Corpse Bride).
The exhibition also invites the viewer into King's "laboratory." It includes an array transported from King's studio and reinstalled in the gallery: her glass eye collection, wax studies of facial expressions, paper templates, jigs, photographic studies of posed sculptures, lenses and other optical devices, and even a selection of antique wooden mannequins restored by the artist.
County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art. She has received several distinguished awards, including a fellowship from the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute (now the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study) at Harvard and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Her work has been seen in numerous solo and group exhibitions, most recently in Brides of Frankenstein, curated by Marcia Tanner for the San Jose Museum of Art.

Quebec to levy financial penalty on unvaccinated adults
MONTREAL (AP) — The premier of the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec announced Tuesday that adult residents who refuse to get vaccinated against the coronavirus will be charged a financial penalty.
Premier Francois Legault said not getting vaccinated leads to consequences for the health care system and not all Quebecers should pay for that.
He said the levy will apply only to people who do not qualify for medical exemptions. It is the first time a government in Canada has announced a financial penalty for people who refuse to be vaccinated in the pandemic.
Why are at-home COVID-19 rapid test prices rising?
Legault said the amount of the penalty hasn't been decided but will be "significant." More details will be released at a later date.
He said about 10% of adults in Quebec are unvaccinated, but they represent about 50% of intensive care patients.
"Those who refuse to get their first doses in the coming weeks will have to pay a new health contribution," Legault said.
"The majority are asking that there be consequences. … It's a question of fairness for the 90% of the population that have made some sacrifices. We owe them."
Quebec previously announced a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew. Quebec liquor and cannabis stores will also require proof of vaccination to enter starting Jan. 18 and the government has warned that shopping malls and hair salons could soon require vaccine passports. Appointments for first doses jumped immediately after.
Quebec reported 62 more deaths related to COVID-19, the sometimes fatal illness that can be caused by the coronavirus. That raised the province's COVID-19 deaths to 12,028, the most in Canada.
Some European countries have started levying fees on their citizens who are not vaccinated.
In Greece, people older than 60 have until Sunday to get their first coronavirus shots or be fined 100 euros ($113) for every month they remain unvaccinated.
FDA warns against using some antigen, antibody tests due to high risk of false results
Austria's health minister announced last month the government plans to impose fines of up to 3,600 euros ($4,000) on people who flout a coronavirus vaccine mandate that it aims to introduce in February for all residents age 14 and over.
In Italy, residents 50 and older are required to be vaccinated, and beginning in mid-February those failing to do so will face fines as high as 1,600 euros ($1,800) if they enter their workplaces.
Associated Press writer Rob Gillies in Toronto contributed to this report.

CPG Sec 562.750 Labeling of Food Articles Distributed Solely in Puerto Rico
COMPLIANCE POLICY GUIDE (CPG)
CPG Sec 562.750 Labeling of Food Articles Distributed Solely in Puerto Rico February 1989
Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition
Office of Regulatory Affairs
Regulations promulgated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR *101.15(c)(1)*, provide that:
"All words, statements, and other information required by or under authority of the act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear thereon in the English language: Provided, however, that in the case of articles distributed solely in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or in a Territory where the predominant language is one other than English, the predominant language may be substituted for English."
In Puerto Rico the predominant language has been and still is Spanish. Since l945, when the Philippines became independent, Puerto Rico has been the only area subject to the act where Spanish or any other language predominates over English.
Some firms print labels in Spanish, *for use on articles distributed solely* in Puerto Rico. These labels would be considered violative if used on articles shipped to other areas.
*To avoid the problems created by labels for which use must be restricted to Puerto Rico, many firms choose to print their labels or labeling in both English and Spanish. A question has arisen as to how such labels should be prepared to comply with both the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act.*
Labels and labeling of articles distributed solely in Puerto Rico may be in Spanish only. Such labels are considered violative for articles distributed elsewhere in areas subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Labels may bear all information required by or under authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act printed both in English and in Spanish. Such labels may be used on articles distributed anywhere in the United States.
We prefer that such labels have two principal display panels, one bearing all required information printed in English, the other all required information in Spanish. Each panel should comply with the requirements of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act and regulations.
However, other ways of presenting the required information are acceptable provided all required information appears with sufficient prominence and conspicuousness in each language, and in accord with applicable provisions of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act and regulations.
*Material between asterisks is new or revised.*

Q: Filter [review Close Votes] to the tags I marked interesting The number of open close votes just reached over 100k and I've never seen it go down before. I tried a number of those, but a lot are about subjects I don't understand (for me that would eg be python, or .net). I cant rate those properly because most of the time I cant really understand what it is about.
My idea would be to make with the same principle as Stack Overflow has with the [Questions]  tab, the subjects with preferred tags get displayed. Those same tags could be used for close-reviewing, because I would actually be able to review them which makes it a lot more interesting than keep clicking skip.
Any thoughts about his?
(ps, first post on meta, not sure whether I did this correct)
edit: This account only has 1 point at the moment, my Stack Overflow account is more active.

Edit after a comment:
I've just noticed the filter. While this does about the same as I was thinking about, this is a passive method. My suggestion would be automatically filter on preferred tags


Forewarning: Don't attempt to make this when you are expecting company. Boiling and peeling eggs kind of masks the house with a foul smell for a couple hours. No one really appreciates that. And they might look at you funny.
But if you aren't having company, give this sandwich a go. This is my mom's recipe which is pretty simple, straight-forward, and delicious. If you want to spruce it up a bit, you could add diced celery or green onions. I prefer to use light mayonnaise since I'm trying to eat healthy, but make sure you don't use Miracle Whip or one of those fat-free brands that tends to be a little sweeter. It completely changes the flavor. Enjoy!
Peel each egg and roughly chop.
Place the chopped eggs in a bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise, salt, pepper and mustard powder. Stir and refrigerate. Allow to chill for at least 2 hours. Serve on a sandwich with lettuce.

At first, Mr. Khol thinks his editorial ("High-Tech Toys Provide A Window on the World," Sept. 10, p. 3) is about the unforeseen impacts of consumer products on society, a notion that wears its blinders quite naively ("Gee whiz, how was I to know that people would use radar detectors to get away with speeding --- that Walkman's would cause ear damage --- that VCR's would compete with movie theaters" --- etc., etc.). Limiting the discussion to "consumer electronics" is itself misleading ("Gee whiz, how was I to know that the bomb would be used for killing people"). For how long will technologists get away with being unresponsible for their technology?
But then the editorial veers off into urban/suburban politics, and the blinders are offensive. For Mr. Khol, the "dire straits of society," the "decay of civilization," the "endless battles against miscreants and mayhem" in the "inner city ... combat zone" are to be contrasted against the late-night "deserted streets" of his middle-class suburban readers. In Mr. Khol's view, lawlessness in the "inner city" is the only evidence of the "decay of civilization," and with his scanner radio, the rest of "us" will be able to observe --- from a distance.
This identification of audience is most clearly revealed in his statement that "the arrest of a recalcitrant motorist, captured by home video, culminated in over $1 billion in damage to the city of Los Angeles." The choice and placement of adjective is offensive. "Arrest of a motorist" would have sufficed; "Violent arrest of a motorist" would have been more to the point. Of course, it was the jury verdict of innocence in the face of this evidence that actually sparked the "damage to the city." No sympathies on Mr. Khol's part to the "damage" to the "recalcitrant" motorist.
Let suburbanites be strip-searched for tax evasion, beaten up for speeding, and killed for building dangerous products and Mr. Khol's "us" vs. "them" point-of-view might change considerably.
P.S. Better to talk of the immorality of reserving, to those with the funds, security (guards), (private) schooling, (adequate) housing, (healthy) food, medical care and transportation. Why design products that you wouldn't use, buildings you wouldn't live in, etc.? The Golden Rule died long ago.


After making its original debut as the 'Pink Color Edition' at the 2015 New York Auto Show, Volkswagen (VW) noticed that fans were inspired by the bright pink Bug, causing it to trend on social media with the hashtag: #PinkBeetle. Some diehard fans even took it a step further by having their own cars repainted to match.
So when it came time to bring the colorful car to market, VW didn't give it a boring and generic name. Instead, it went with the name that popularized the new model, #PinkBeetle, making it the first car to use a hashtag as a name.
VW is marketing the cars release via the channels that gave it its identity, making the whole thing seem like a case of what came first, the chicken or the egg. The marketing campaign is like the car's color, filled with an abundance of pink.
The car's official color is Fresh Fuchsia Metallic, but that wouldn't have been as fun of a name as #PinkBeetle, or the runner up #PeptoBismol.
