"Training Program in Accessibility and Universal Design" at the UNR: 2nd Meeting
Home > News > "Training Program in Accessibility and Universal Design" at the UNR: 2nd Meeting
Organized by the University Extension Secretariat and the University Infrastructure Secretariat, the initiative has received support from the MUSE Project, which is located in the Institute of University Studies at Vice Rectory of the UNR, as it is oriented towards one of its objectives : "Enhancement of managerial and administrative staff capacities in dealing with and implementing inclusive education practices".
In this regard, one of the teachers, Architect Cecilia Ferreño, expressed the need for "breaking paradigms, changing attitudes, normalizing universal design". He emphasized the importance of compliance with the norms being accompanied by sensitization processes, oriented towards a change of approach, allowing an "architecture for all" instead of "accessible architecture".
The meeting was aimed at members of university staff, who had the opportunity to exchange knowledge, experiences and proposals aimed at ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities in university spaces. The Program is expected to be finalized in the framework of a third intensive meeting, which includes staff from UNL and UNNE, as well as a student audience and external to the university community itself.

Veselin Topalov
(Веселин Топалов)
2005–2006 (FIDE)
(#9 on the Jan 2016 FIDE ratings list) [1]
Peak rating
2816 (July 2015)
Veselin Topalov (Веселин Топалов, born 15 March 1975), is a Bulgarian chess grandmaster and former 'FIDE world chess champion'. This was a knock-out tournament of lower status than the classical world championship.
Topalov became the FIDE champion in 2005. He lost his title in a classical match against Vladimir Kramnik, the purpose of which was to unify the titles. During the match, his manager accused his opponent of cheating. The match ended the division between world titles, which had arisen in 1993. Next, Topalov defeated Gata Kamsky in February 2009 in Sofia, Bulgaria to earn the right to be the challenger for the World Chess Championship in 2010. [2] Topalov lost the World Championship match with Anand 5½–6½ in May 2010.[3]
Topalov won the 2005 Chess Oscar.[4] He was ranked #1 in the world from April 2006 to January 2007, and then had the second highest Elo rating of all time (2813). He regained the world #1 ranking again in October 2008, and officially remained #1 until January 2010, when he fell to #2 behind Magnus Carlsen.[1]
He has been ranked number one a total of 27 months in his career, the fourth longest, behind only Garry Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, and Bobby Fischer.

Tissue-Engineered Models of Microvessel-Mediated Glioblastoma Invasion
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a uniformly fatal brain cancer with poor response to treatment and virtually inevitable recurrence. GBM tumors rarely metastasize and, instead, aggressively infiltrate the brain. Tumor borders are highly vascularized by microvessels that serve as key niche environments promoting GBM cell survival, treatment resistance and migration. Currently, it is believed that a subpopulation of treatment-resistant, stem-like GBM cells migrate away from primary tumors — remaining in close contact with local microvessels — and seed recurrent tumors. However, the mechanisms underlying the influence of the microvessel niche on GBM cell migration away from primary tumors, leading to recurrence, remain largely unknown. This project aims to investigate 1) the role of specific cues in the tumor microenvironment on the migratory phenotype of GBM cells and 2) how these cues differentially affect distinct subpopulations of cells within heterogeneous tumors.
The research team from the UCLA consists of an expert in biomaterials and neural tissue engineering (Seidlits, PI), neurologist and developmental and cancer cell biologist (Kornblum, co-I), geneticist and bioinformatics expert (Li, co-I), radiation oncologist (Pajonk, collaborator) and expert in GBM metabolism and cell biology (Nathanson, co-I).
These studies will use tissue-engineered platforms for 3D culture of patient-derived GBM cells to quantify how specific features of the GBM microenvironment affect migratory behavior of tumor cells. Orthogonal modulation of mechanical and chemical properties in culture platforms will facilitate characterization of their independent effects on migratory cell phenotype. Platforms will be constructed with an interface between defined microenvironments through which GBM cells can migrate, enabling separation of migratory and non-migratory cells for downstream analysis and providing information about how subpopulations of cells within a single tumor may respond differentially to microenvironmental cues using single-cell RNA sequencing. As treatment resistance, invasion and recurrence are inter-related events, we will investigate how exposure to routine clinical therapies may alter migratory responses of GBM cells to microenvironmental cues. In the long term, we hope to use insights from these studies to develop new therapies targeting GBM recurrence.

Seidlits Research Group
Stephanie Seidlits joined the Department of Bioengineering at UCLA as an Assistant Professor in 2014. Dr. Seidlits' research seeks to develop multifaceted therapies for the central nervous system that utilize biomaterial platforms to both model and directly alter the pathological microenvironment. She has taught multiple lab courses in Bioengineering at UCLA, including Senior Capstone Design. She obtained a B.S. in Bioengineering from Rice University and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University Texas at Austin. She trained as a post-doctoral fellow in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University.
Dr. Seidlits' lab develops biomaterials that mimic the extracellular matrix of central nervous system tissues for neural tissue engineering. A major focus of her research is developing hyaluronic acid-based biomaterials as preclinical models of glioblastoma tumors that facilitate ex vivo investigation of disease mechanisms within conditions that approximate those in vivo so that physiologically relevant data can be obtained in a simplified context. In addition, her lab is developing biomaterial scaffolds to direct neural cell behavior, neural stem cell differentiation and as implants to facilitate tissue repair after spinal cord and traumatic brain injury.

The First Monday in May at the MET BALL
Art, Fashion, Style, Videos, What's New
It's almost the first Monday in May and here in Europe we can't wait to view this documentary. Already in theaters in the US from April 15th.
Watch the trailer here and get into the arts, crafts which results in fashion.
The First Monday in May follows the creation of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's most attended fashion exhibition in history, "China: Through The Looking Glass," an exploration of Chinese-inspired Western fashions by Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton. With unprecedented access, filmmaker Andrew Rossi captures the collision of high fashion and celebrity at the Met Gala, one of the biggest global fashion events chaired every year by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. Featuring a cast of renowned artists in many fields (including filmmaker Wong Kar Wai and fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano) as well as a host of contemporary pop icons like Rihanna, the movie dives into the debate about whether fashion should be viewed as art.

    }
});

any help would be great, thanks in advance
EDIT: i tried sending a post request from postman and it worked to the same url and the same json data structure i'm using

A: the problem was that I was using a wrong schema.
This is the old schema:
let data = {
    "fields": {
        "companyName": companyName,
        "title": title,
        "expiredDate": expiredDate,
        "description": description,
        "userId": userId,
    }
};

This is the correct schema which worked:
let data = {
        "fields": {
            "companyName": {
                "stringValue": companyName
            },
            "title": {
                "stringValue": title
            },
            "expiredDate": {
                "stringValue": expiredDate
            },
            "description": {
                "stringValue": description
            },
            "userId": {
                "stringValue": userId
            },
        }
    };

A number of United Nations member states in the South Pacific have thrown their support behind Indonesia for its effort to develop the Papua and West Papua provinces and maintain its territorial integrity.
The support was aired when Coordinating Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto visited Nauru to attend its 50th Independence Day ceremony, during which he also conducted separate talks with several South-Pacific leaders.
Wiranto's four-day visit to Nauru came amid Indonesia's efforts to convince South Pacific countries to support its campaign to be a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC) in the 2019 to 2020 period.
Speaking after a meeting with Wiranto at Government House on Wednesday, Nauruan President Baron Divavesi Waqa said his country believed Indonesia was committed to improving the lives of Papuans.
"We, the people of Nauru, will always consider Indonesia as a good friend. We understand the Indonesian government's efforts to realize development in Papua and West Papua," Waqa said as quoted in a statement released by Wiranto's office.
Wiranto was visiting Nauru in place of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, whom Waqa invited when the two met during the 10th Bali Democracy Forum in December. Prior to his meeting with Waqa, Wiranto met with Vanuatuan President Tallis Obed Moses and Tuvaluan Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga on Tuesday. On those occasions, Wiranto said he told them about Jokowi administration's efforts improve the lives of people in the two provinces.
"We also invited the countries' leaders to visit and see the conditions of Papua and West Papua, which I suppose will change the perception made by others who claim that [Indonesia] neglects Papua and West Papua," Wiranto said.
Nauru, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu were among seven Pacific islands countries that had raised strong concerns about Papua, including human rights violations, during the 71st session of the UN General Assembly in New York in 2016.
Meanwhile, Sopoaga said the Tuvaluan government would not try to interfere in Indonesian affairs.
"We have highly regard human rights principles, including cultural rights. However, Tuvalu is not in a position to intervene in this problem," Sopoaga said.
The Indonesian delegation had brought along a band called "Papua Original" that performed several Papuan-themed songs during a cultural event on Tuesday. Wiranto said the band demonstrated that Indonesia and the Pacific countries shared similar cultures.
"This mission should be able to improve relations between Indonesia and other Pacific nations because in the past we did not have much chance to be in touch with them," Wiranto said.

On Saturday Prime Minister Narendra Modi Slammed Congress and Samajwadi party for making religious comments as he defended Ram Manohar Lohia and said it was "ironic and reprehensible" that those who claim to be the followers of socialist political leader Ram Manohar Lohia were making efforts to form an "opportunistic Maha Milawat or adulteration alliances" with the Congress.
PM Modi wrote in his blog, "anti-Congressism" was in Dr Lohia's heart and soul. Yet, today those parties that falsely claim to be Dr. Lohia's followers are desperate to form an opportunistic Maha Milawat or adulteration alliances with the same Congress. It is both ironical and reprehensible".
The Samajwadi Party, Janata Dal-Secular, Rashtriya Janata Dal and Sharad Yadav's Loktantrik Janata Dal are some of the parties which will merge with the RJD after the Lok Sabha polls, these parties are formed on the basis of socialist ideology.
PM Modi wrote in his bog titled "Remembering Dr. Lohia" where he mentioned, "In his works, Dr. Lohia called for complete equality between men and women. But, neck deep in vote bank politics, it was parties that dishonestly claim to be Dr. Lohia's followers that opposed the NDA Government's move to abolish the inhuman practice of Triple Talaq".
Akhilesh Yadav attacked the government last month for giving nod to re-issue the contentious triple talaq ordinance.
Modi wrote, "These parties are experts at grabbing power, looting as much as possible and exploiting others. Poor people, Tribals, Dalits, OBCs and women are not safe in their rule because these parties give a free run to criminals and anti-social elements".
He also attacked the Congress, saying Dr Lohia knew how "disastrous" the Congress was. "In 1962 he said, 'During the Congress regime neither agriculture and industry nor the army has improved'," the PM said.
PM Modi is extensively using social media and blogs to attack his opponent in the election season whereas in Wednesday's blog, he alleged that the Congress didn't believe in internal democracy.

Q: Function not working on jQuery 1.6.x (but worked on 1.5.x) This works in 1.5.2, but doesn't on 1.6.2. The button won't get 'enabled'. I think it has to be with the .attr
How could i fix this?
function checkMessageForm() {
    var message_chars = $("#form_dm_text").val().length;
    console.log(message_chars);
    if (message_chars > 0 && message_chars < 14001) $("#form_dm_submit").attr("disabled", "");
    else
    $("#form_dm_submit").attr("disabled", "disabled");
}

Thanks!

A: You should delete the disabled attribute:
$("#form_dm_submit").removeAttr("disabled");

You can see the effect of removeAttr('disabled') versus attr('disabled', '') here:

http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/JMvKr/

A: Instead of .attr("disabled", ""), try .removeAttr("disabled") ?

A: I like to use the .prop(propertyName, value) solution. Mostly it is just another option that wasn't mentioned here.
function checkMessageForm() {
    var message_chars = $("#form_dm_text").val().length;
    console.log(message_chars);
    var disable = message_chars > 0 && message_chars < 14001;
    $("#form_dm_submit").prop("disabled", disable);
}

attr() also accepts a true and false as the value to enable/disable.

Bills Exploring Possibility of Limited Fan Attendance in 2020
There is only one thing that is a sure thing when it comes to the NFL season this year - It's supposed to start in a few weeks and no one knows what's going to happen.
At the beginning of July, Governor Cuomo declared that there would be no fans in professional sports stadiums this season for their games. It was outlined in a six page document that said the state of New York wouldn't allow it.
The rule was that teams would "Ensure that no live audience, fans, or spectators are allowed to attend or permitted to enter any professional sports venue, even if an outdoor venue."
However, just a few days later, the Bills started to explore allowing "a limited number" of fans into the stadium...if they are allowed to.
Per the Buffalo Bills' website:
"Thank you for your continued support and patience through this unprecedented offseason. As we are well aware of New York State's current guidelines for the return of professional sports, we are still in the process of planning for the possibility of a limited amount of spectators being able to attend games for the 2020 season. We understand that guidelines have continued to evolve in our state and we will maintain communication with the NFL and state and local government agencies to establish policies and procedures to create and maintain the safest possible environment should spectators be permitted."
Today, we hear that the NFL sent out another questionnaire to select season ticket holders asking a broad range of questions, including communication from the team, the direction the team is heading on the field, and fans' comfort level with watching the game from inside the stadium this season.
It makes you wonder if they know something that we don't. As of right now, the Governor hasn't changed his stance when it comes to fans in stadiums. But if he does, it looks as though the Bills will be prepared to make a change to their policy for this season.

Arrest report: Las Vegas-area teen was locked in room for a year before escape
Authorities in North Las Vegas are investigating an incident where a teen was reportedly locked in a room for over a year before escaping. (Source: KVVU)
By Elaine Emerson
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - A Las Vegas-area teen was locked in a room for over a year before she made an escape and got in contact with police, according to an arrest report.
Addy Gonzales, Maria Pasarin and Daniel Omezcua were arrested on false imprisonment and child abuse charges. Gonzales was identified in the report as the teen's mother, and Pasarin was identified as the teen's grandmother. It's unclear whether Omezcua is related.
North Las Vegas Police investigated the incident on Nov. 4. Around 3:39 p.m., police were called to the area of Spirit Sun, near 5th Street and Alexander Road, for suspicious activity. Police found a Hispanic female trying to use a ladder to climb into an upstairs bedroom.
According to neighbors, the girl entered the backyard of a nearby residence asking for food and water. The girl had reportedly climbed out of the two-story home by tying clothes together before using a ladder to try and get back in.
"The female juvenile also claimed her parents had locked her in her bedroom and did not feed her or let her use the bathroom," NLVPD wrote in a report. The girl told police she escaped so she could get a drink of water and hadn't eaten since the night before. She told police she was only given food or water when her mother, identified as Gonzales, would return home.
Police spoke with Gonzales on the phone and asked why the girl was locked in a room. Police said Gonzales was "evasive" and didn't want police in her home until she got back, the report said.
When NLVPD did enter the room where the girl was kept, there was no bed; just a box spring and a bed frame with a sheet. NLVPD said there was a bucket in the room filled with urine and fecal matter and a roll of toilet paper nearby.
The girl told police she felt like a prisoner, the arrest report said. The report said there was also a 13-year-old boy living in the home at the time.
CPS said there were eight previous "unsubstantiated" reports, which included allegations of abuse or neglect.
Police said the girl had been living this way for "at least" a year.
The suspects are expected to appear in court on Nov. 21.

Shameless plug for a self-publishing company operated by a friend of a friend.
It's a for-profit company that fronts the setup cost to turn your work into a sellable book (including the registration with an ISBN number, and in booksellers' databases.)  It's somewhere about halfway along the spectrum between "conventional" publishing houses on the one hand, and purely "print-on-demand" services like Lulu.com.
In other words, they'll take a lot of stuff that conventional publishers won't, but only if they think they can sell it.  But for the sake of personal acquaintances, I thought I'd throw it out there.

Gas-powered cars: Beginning of the end in California?
Source: SkepticalScience
This is a re-post from Yale Climate Connections by Bruce Lieberman
Can California really do it? Can it completely ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in 15 years – 15 years – and lead the country toward a fossil fuel-free future?
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom says so. In a late September executive order, Newsom announced a ban on in-state sales of new gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks by 2045. Newsom isn't the first politician to make such moves – several countries in Europe including Norway, the Netherlands, France, the UK, and Denmark have set similar goals. But he is the first governor in the U.S. to take that step. And California, the fifth largest economy in the world, sets trends – economic, environmental, cultural – that often reverberate across the nation and the world.
Still, the executive order only sets goals for 2035 and 2045. And it will still allow people to drive gas-powered automobiles after 2035, and also sell used ones. In other words, internal combustion engines aren't disappearing anytime soon after 2035.
It's still unclear exactly how California will pursue Newsom's ambitions – or to what extent his executive order will outlive the first-term governor's time in office. But he has ordered the state's powerful Air Resources Board to immediately begin developing new "passenger vehicle and truck regulations requiring increasing volumes of new zero-emission vehicles sold in the state towards the target of 100 percent of in-state sales by 2035."
It will be interesting to see what those regulations actually look like.
Newsom's order includes other aggressive measures too. Along with passenger cars and trucks in 2035, it sets the goal of a full transition to zero-emission drayage trucks – the big diesel-powered haulers that transport shipping containers and bulk to and from the state's ports, rail yards, and other locations. Also by 2035, Newsom wants to transition all off-road vehicles and equipment to zero emissions "where feasible."
Newsom's order separately calls for the state to achieve "carbon neutrality by no later than 2045" and for the state government to "expedite regulatory processes to repurpose and transition upstream and downstream oil production facilities." In his announcement, Newsom said he is asking the state Legislature to stop issuing new permits for hydraulic fracturing (fracking) by 2024.
Comes amidst state's worst fire season on record
Newsom's announcement came as California has faced its worst fire season on record. As of mid-October, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) estimated that nearly 8,500 fires had burned 4.1 million acres across the state. There is broad scientific consensus that climate change has been a key driver of these fires, as fire seasons across the state and the West have started earlier and ended later each year over the past several decades. Drought and infestations by bark beetles have ravaged the Sierra, killing hundreds of millions of trees and leaving tinder dry fuel as easy kindling.
Under pressure from environmental interests to take bolder action on fighting climate change, Newson at his announcement drew a direct connection between his order and that fight: "Our cars shouldn't make wildfires worse – and create more days filled with smoky air," he said.
Despite in-state pressures to act, Newsom faces legal and political opposition in Washington. The state is already in a legal fight with the Trump Administration to preserve its ability to set its own vehicle mileage standards. For half a century, California has obtained waivers under the federal Clean Air Act to set its own standards. More than a dozen other states over time have followed California's lead and adopted similar standards, which exceed the federal EPA standards applying to the rest of the country. The Trump administration has revoked the waiver and the state has sued, arguing that it has the right to set its own standards under the Air Act.
With that case continuing to wind its way through the court system, the Trump administration has criticized Newsom's latest move, saying in a letter from EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler that California faces an uphill battle to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles and replace them with electric cars – and not just for political reasons.
"California's record of rolling blackouts – unprecedented in size and scope – coupled with recent requests to neighboring states for power begs the question of how you expect to run an electric car fleet that will come with significant increases in electricity demand, when you can't even keep the lights on today," Wheeler wrote.
It's a point that has some merit, and it's unclear if California's plans to increase its supply of green energy in coming decades will match increasing demands for electrical power.
A Biden-Harris administration would likely back the idea of Newsom's executive order – although it's not certain that their EPA would give California carte blanche on such a massive change in transportation. The Democratic candidate views an expansion of electric vehicles as a big opportunity to boost the national economy and address climate change, Biden spokesman Matt Hill told Politico in an October 2 story adding "he's got a plan to do that and thinks of it in terms of incentives and investments, not bans."
Huge task, huge challenges … also a potentially huge market
In California, the transportation sector accounts for more than half of California's carbon emissions, 80 percent of smog-forming pollution, and 95 percent of diesel emissions, Newsom noted during his announcement.
It will be a gargantuan task to electrify the state's transportation sector. California is home to 40 million people, and at the end of 2019 there were 36.4 million vehicles registered in the state. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), California had about 256,800 electric vehicle registrations at the end of 2018 – by far the most of any other state, but still a tiny percentage compared with the total number of cars on the state's roadways.
The electric vehicle (EV) market is growing in California – in 2018 EVs were California's 8th most valuable export, valued at nearly $3 billion.
Elon Musk, CEO of California-based Tesla, Inc., said recently that he expects his company to make 20 million electric vehicles annually before 2030 – 50 times more than what it produced in 2019.
But even if Californians can access enough electric vehicles to meet the state's goals, it will also need the infrastructure to support them. Newsom certainly recognizes this reality, and his executive order includes additional measures, among them:
the development of a "Zero-Emissions Vehicle Market Development Strategy" by Jan. 31, 2021, to identify what will be needed to create the markets needed for the transition;
an accelerated deployment of "affordable fueling and charging options for zero-emission vehicles, in ways that serve all communities and in particular low-income and disadvantaged communities"; and
an update to the biennial statewide assessment of ZEV infrastructure needed overall to support the order.
The price of electric vehicles, meanwhile, has come down dramatically but many people still view them as a luxury purchase. Charging stations will also have to be ubiquitous, affordable, and accessible everywhere. And, people who live in California's rural regions, where travel distances are long and often remote – along with those who regularly drive out-of-state – will almost certainly be slower to adopt electric vehicles as daily drivers.
At the end of 2017, nearly 14,000 public charging stations, including 1,500 direct current fast chargers, were installed around the state, according to a 2018 report from the California Energy Commission. (Plugshare is one website that offers maps showing the location of charging stations in California. However, the state will need to install 250,000 EV chargers to support five million-plus electric vehicles on the state's roadways, the report noted. Looking toward mid-century and the prospect of a full adoption of electric vehicles, California will need many more than 250,000 before gas-powered vehicles become a thing of the past.
As expected, Newsom's announcement met with skepticism. John Bozella, CEO of the automotive industry group, Alliance for Automotive Innovation, said in a statement that auto companies are committed to producing electric vehicles, "but neither mandates nor bans build successful markets." In a blog post two days later, he suggested that people won't turn to electric vehicles so long as gas prices remain consistently low. Which presumably is not meant to suggest that anyone now knows what a gallon of gas will cost in 2035.
Chet Thompson, head of the lobbying group American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, was more blunt in his opposition. "Pursuing this goal would be among the most inefficient, unpopular, and regressive methods to reduce carbon emissions," he said after Newsom's announcement.
Still, some automakers are on board with Newsom's plans. Ford Motor Co. expressed support in a statement reported in Bloomberg Green. "We agree with Governor Newsom that it's time to take urgent action to address climate change," Ford said. "That's why we're proud to stand with California in achieving meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions in our vehicles."
In August, California had finalized an agreement with Ford, BMW, Honda, Volkswagen, and Volvo that sets annual fuel efficiency improvements that are more in line with Obama-era requirements than those the Trump Administration has called for. That deal will mean those companies will produce vehicles that average 51 mpg by 2026, rather than 40 mpg which the Trump Administration is requiring.
With some big-name automakers behind him, Newsom made a point of signing his executive order on the hood of a Ford Mustang Mach E electric vehicle.
"This is the next big global industry, and California wants to dominate it," he said. "… And so today, California is making a big, bold move in that direction."

Michigan Flyer-AirRide expands service frequency
Starting Nov. 15, 2013, the Michigan Flyer -AirRide shuttle expands service on its route between East Lansing, Ann Arbor and Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)—just in time to accommodate holiday season travelers.
The new schedule will increase the frequency of service from eight to 12 trips a day on the segment between East Lansing and Ann Arbor.
On the segment between Ann Arbor and DTW, reliability and convenience of service will be improved by providing both earlier and later runs to and from DTW, increasing the number of daily round trips from 12 to 13, and discontinuing the stop at the U-M Central Campus Transit Center at a savings of about $407,000 in operating costs.
The new Michigan Flyer-AirRide schedule is available online at www.MichiganFlyer.com; a PDF version can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/1dyvmn1.
Overall, the new schedule will make it easier for passengers to:
 Connect with approximately 700 daily nonstop flights between DTW and top domestic and international destinations
 Access about 150 more DTW arrivals and departures than before
 Commute between East Lansing and Ann Arbor for business or pleasure
 Enjoy much shorter waits between buses
The expanded schedule is a big plus for the Greater Lansing and Ann Arbor economies, noted Indian Trails and Michigan Flyer President Gordon Mackay. "One-third of Michigan Flyer-AirRide passengers—about 30,000 a year—come from out of state and spend millions locally," he said. "Also, for many passengers who either don't or can't drive, this is a critical improvement in public transportation."
According to Michael Ford, CEO of the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority, "The improved schedule makes public transportation a more attractive option for travel."

This meeting did not include any particularly controversial agenda items and ran largely to time. The first item, as always, was a report from Mark Drakeford as Welsh Labour Leader. Mark spoke about his forthcoming appearance at UK Labour Conference, where he would speak on 'Labour in Power' alongside other elected representatives such as elected mayors. He discussed the worsening Covid situation, where the numbers contracting the disease and being admitted to hospital were rising, putting pressure on the NHS, alongside the more positive announcement of a booster vaccine campaign. He also outlined the progress, as reported in the press, in discussions with Plaid Cymru to agree common positions on a limited number of proposals, to ensure sufficient support to get the relevant legislation passed in the Senedd. Mark then responded to a number of questions and contributions, particularly in relation to social care and partnership working.
We then received a lengthy presentation from a member of the UK party's data unit, who ran through the recent boundary proposals to take effect from the next Westminster elections, with a specific focus on the changes proposed to the Welsh parliamentary boundaries, which would see the number of constituencies reduced from 40 to 32. The party staffer further outlined the proposed timetable and consultation periods; an initial discussion had been held with Welsh CLP secretaries earlier in the week and a report would be prepared to enable individual CLPs to respond directly to the Boundary Commission for Wales. Party members were encouraged to contact the party with their views, which could be sent to this email address: boundaryreview@labour.org.uk
The WEC then agreed its meeting schedule to March 2022 and agreed to continue holding meetings via Zoom. It also agreed a report prepared by the Senedd electoral reform working group, which would potentially present options around this topic to the October WEC meeting, for agreement at the March conference
The most significant discussion took place around the planned November Welsh Labour Conference; we were told by Mark and by the Acting General Secretary, David Costa that the Covid situation coupled with an unavoidable lack of preparation for an online alternative meant that the WEC were being asked to agree to cancel the planned November conference. The 2022 conference would still take place on schedule in March and Welsh Labour would plan for both an in-person and an online version of that event. It was suggested that Welsh Government ministers would instead be available for small in-person gatherings on a regional basis across Wales with those members who had been elected as delegates to the conference, where informal policy discussions could take place, potentially framed by the motions submitted to the conference.
While the WEC accepted the need to cancel the planned in-person conference on public health grounds, several members expressed concern about where this had left us. Sophie made the point that it seemed inconsistent that UK conference should be going ahead the following week, at which, as described above, Mark Drakeford would be speaking, and queried whether the relevant rules concerns that had prevented an online conference from being a valid proposal for 2020 had now been overcome. Darren suggested that informal policy discussions with ministers would be in no way an adequate substitute for a decision-making conference. Unison delegates were also concerned, questioning whether this event would be cancelled in isolation or whether Welsh Government guidance would change for non-party events of a similar size and level of risk.
In response to Sophie's point on rules specifically, David Costa said that there were outstanding rules concerns but that lessons would be learned from the successful online UK women's conference that had taken place in the summer. We were told that an online conference would come at huge expense for the party.
Notwithstanding these concerns, the WEC agreed to cancel the conference, and also approved a report on progress in developing the use of the Welsh language by Welsh Labour, which was widely supported.
In response to the report from Acting General Secretary David Costa, Darren asked for figures on the number of party members in Wales who had recently been subject to, or threatened with, auto-exclusion, as well as enquiring about the impact on Welsh Labour staff of the prospect of some ninety redundancies across the UK, causing Unite and GMB members to vote for strike action in an indicative ballot. David was not aware of any recent auto-exclusions in Wales and believed that the party's restructuring would not have too severe an additional impact on Welsh staff, who were already carrying one vacancy. As is now required, each elected representative had produced a written report in advance of the meeting, so those of the Shadow Secretary of State for Wales (Nia Griffith MP), Welsh Labour Deputy Leader (Carolyn Harris MP), WLGA Leader (Cllr Andrew Morgan) and PCC (Jeff Cuthbert) were presented to the WEC. There were no questions on these reports (Jeff Cuthbert was, in any case, absent for health reasons). The Deputy Leader commented, however – apparently in response to comments on previous agenda items relating to concerns around the number of party members under disciplinary investigation or suspension and the associated reduction in overall membership – that the party exists primarily to ensure the election of MPs and MSs and that greater attention should be paid to that than to concerns about its membership. This is not an opinion that we share, as representatives of the members; of course the party is a vehicle for achieving power through successful electioneering, but we believe that the party should be a proponent of genuine societal change and that, as such, it should be led by its ordinary members, who volunteer their time to campaign but whose views on policy and whose voices in internal party democracy are too often ignored.

Allows you to use streeview to get images associated with markers ( see Playing around with maps and streetview) for some of the technical details.
Builds a link that can be used to recreate the view with the Street maps image API, so the view can be recreated in other apps.
Can read a street maps image API and recreate the view in Maps.
When done, you can update the store and any other apps interested in that data can now pick it up. Here' what the app looks like with a streetview open.
How to communicate what data is to be used.
You can try accessing the app live here, but the data or keys it will use are mine and will be expired. That's why you need to create your own - but more of that later.
The update Store button will use the effex API to write the enriched data to the store using the same keys as was passed to it. Other processes which have delegated the enrichment to this app can now pick up the results by accessing the store using the effex API.
Well it depends on which platform(s) you want to be able to collaborate, but for this example, I'm going to use Google Sheets.
The first step is to get a Boss key. This allows you to create keys for reading, writing and updating the store. You can get one over on the console area of the Ephemeral Exchange site. I recommend you spend a little time running through the tutorial too - it doesn't take long.
The effex API is a REST API so you can construct the calls yourself using URLFetch or you can use the Apps Script library for Ephemeral exchange, where these have been wrapped up into a simple interface. Alternatively, there is a library for Sheets (cAppsMapsEffex) which has further encapsulated common things you'd want to do from a sheet that I've created for this demo - behind the scenes it uses the Apps Script library for Ephemeral exchange. Depending on how much work you want to do, it's up to you which you choose, but this example uses cAppsMapsEffex.
The source data I used can be found here, and starts like this.
Here's my keys - I'll use these for everything.
I've also added some stuff to UI menu to make it easier to call up.
We're ready to push the sheet data to the store.
The only decision you need to make here is whether you want an alias for this data (you'll be able to use the same url parameters in the maps app every time you push (until the alias expires), or whether you want to use the data item's id each time (each time you push an item, a new id is created but the alias keeps track of the new item id for you). My example uses an alias ("macdo"). If you prefer to use the native ids, just omit that argument.
There's 2 variations - when creating a new item in the store, I use the keys from the properties service, and create a brand new item. If updating, I use a given updater key, and update an existing data item.
That ends with a convenience reminder of how to run the maps app.
Now I head over to the Maps app. For how to add new places, enter info, move or remove places, or about geocoding - see the previous demo, Sheets and Maps collaboration with cache - effex demo - it works the same way.
You'll notice that the info window contains a new icon - this takes you in to streetview for the marker, all of which have now been automatically geocoded.
You'll notice that we'll initially be looking at the marker in streetview, and it will be somewhere in the image. To learn about the code to do that, see Set initial streetview orientation towards a map marker.
You can zoom (+/- on the keyboard) or move around to get exactly the view you want. I've chosen this one. The view can be saved using the camera icon.
Now hitting "Update store" will send those updates to the store.
Finally we can pull in those changes to the sheet.
Notice that we have a link against the address we just snapped.
Now this data is in Ephemeral Exchange, you can pull it or modify it in any app that knows how to speak to the store, as described in Sheets and Maps collaboration with cache - effex demo, but being able to recreate images in this way means we can do some cooler things.
Let's finish off setting up the streetview images I want for the other addresses first of all, so my data looks like this.
I want to create a table in Docs with some of this info, including the images - so my initial document looks like this (it's available here), where the table headings specify which fields I want to pull.
In this case I'll be using the key generated originally by the spreadsheet and being used by the Maps app.
Another nice possibility is to create slides based on this enriched data. For an example of this see Merging data with a slides template. I'm using the app there to create a slide deck of all these places, with the data pulled from the store as usual.
This time, I've created a webapp that accepts parameters about the effex keys to use, and where to find a template deck to base the finished deck on.
And here's the generated result viewed in the Slides editor.


YouCantMissThis.com- By Bones Rodriguez: "Autobots- Roll Out!"
and saw the TRANSFORMERS movie that I had been waiting for for over a year.
I was giddy with antici.....pation as the previews started, and there was one for some J.J, Abrams movei. At first I thought it was Star Trek XI, but the release date was wrong.. I guess well find out what that is later.
As for TRANSFORMERS, I liked it. I didn't LOVE it. There was a ton of fanboy stuff "One shall stand, one shall fall", and "Autobots- Roll out!" were quotes that excited the hell out of me.
However, the script was pretty bad, in that they spent ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME with stupid stuff. Megatron was only in it for 20 minutes, and fights were all too close up, so you couldn't see what was happening. For a lot of the shots, it was just a jumble of metal, and no distinguishable movement.
I wish they didn't spend so much time "Looking for the glasses", as they didn't have what they needed on them anyway.
Overall, I would say it was better than Fantastic Four, but not as good as Live Free or Die Hard.
It wasn't the movie it could have been, but it wasn't Daredevil either.

Bakersfield, CA (KERO) —The City of Bakersfield hosted the 5th Christmas Tree Lighting Event tonight. Bakersfield City Council members were attended by residents to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season. As you drive on Truxtun Avenue, you can't miss the shining trees in front of the Mechanics Bank Arena. It's a city way to welcome holidays.
"Merry Christmas Bakersfield, I'm very happy to be back, Merry Christmas Bakersfield," said Mr. and Mrs. Klaus.
Thanking you for attending the celebration, Mr. and Mrs. Klaus say they are fortunate to be able to spread the cheers of Christmas.
"It's about Christmas, it's about Jesus, yes," Klaus said.
They fulfill those Christmas wishes.
"He asked Santa if he would come to make sure Santa was giving a present this year, but they have nothing to stop him," said Diana Stillwell, who lives in Bakersfield. I said. "
Bakersfield resident Hector Figueroa said he was grateful for the feeling of normality given last year's restrictions.
"We had a pretty crazy year at COVID-19, and it keeps getting worse, but so we just wanted to get out and do something," Figueroa said. ..
Mayor Karen Goh was honored to light the tree so that everyone could see it.
"Christmas tree lighting begins the Christmas season in Bakersfield, CA. It's great to see boys and girls, moms and dads wearing Christmas Santa hats and having a good time. "Mayor Go said.
Wooden lighting is a city tradition that connects citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Klaus say they are proud to be away for the past five years.
"Since Jackie Sullivan started this, we have been Santa with wood lighting," said Mr. and Mrs. Klaus.
"Merry Christmas Bakersfield has a great holiday season," said Mayor Go.
City officials say the trees will be lit up outside the Mechanics Bank Arena, at least until Christmas.

You'll be able to discover ways to educate in French in Calgary, Grande Prairie and Pink Deer.
So far, five students are enrolled in the 4-year undergraduate education and 10 in the 2-year postgraduate education. Thirteen students are enrolled in Calgary, two are enrolled in Grande Prairie, and Red Deer is still waiting for its first intake.
The pilot project was led by Dean Pierre-Yves Moquet, who saw a clear demand for this type of program while living in Calgary in the past. The pilot project is aimed at students who are unable or unwilling to move to Edmonton to study at the university.
This is the case of Julie DeWilde, a biologist who wanted to change careers. I love to pass on my knowledge as a teacher. I am very happy because sharing and raising awareness was my second passion. suits me perfectly rejoices the one who entered the bachelor's degree in education after her diploma.
She hopes to be able to teach in a French school or in immersive mode. In both cases, the demand for French teachers is high.
The fact that the program is offered in Calgary was a determining factor in her decision to enroll. I have children here. We have a house, we are inhabited. I couldn't get away from my children. it would be impossible [de déménager à Edmonton pour étudier] Julie DeWilde explains.
Recruitment for Fall 2022 is ongoing. Application deadline: February 1 for the Postgraduate Bachelor and March 1 for the full four-year Bachelor.
Teach francophone students who will teach at home
These satellite campuses also have the goal of having more students go on to teach in their communities after graduation. Dean Pierre-Yves Mokke gives the example of a student from Grande Prairie who moves to Edmonton for elementary school.
He finds himself on an internship at an elementary school in Edmonton, and one after another, he is offered a place. Given the lack of current students, it is very common for students to be offered positions before they graduate. That sounds interesting. We do not want to refuse to go and see what will be offered in the Falière or Grande Prairie region instead. he explains.
Pierre-Yves Mokke explains that Campus Saint-Jean has already begun allowing students from British Columbia to return to their province for internships to improve their chances of finding work in their region.
The demand for French teachers in Alberta is high.

Campus Saint-Jean has received a funding extension from Canadian Heritage to keep it alive until 2023–24. The dean hopes that after the completion of the Campus Saint-Jean pilot project, he will be able to improve the program offerings offered at satellite campuses.
I hope that we can create other programs, in particular the Alberta Collegiate Center, especially in early childhood education, where there is undoubtedly a demand he explains.
He also hopes that health care and business administration programs will be offered.

Open School East call out for its Associates Programme
November 26, 2020 Kathy Bailes Events 0
Fun at Open School East
Margate's alternative art school Open School East is recruiting students for its 'Associates Programme' in 2021.
Based at 39 Hawley Square, the adult students will manage their own time, but will receive weekly tuition and mentorship from artists, theorists and curators.
They will conceive and deliver a public programme of workshops and events around their own artistic practice and interests they share with other students, and showcase work they make. And they will be given seed-funding to develop, research or initiate their own projects.
2021 students will be working with Jane Hall and Anthony Engi Meacock of architecture collective Assemble, who won the Turner Prize in 2015.
Together they will look at how Open School East's five-storey Georgian building works, and test making changes to the architecture.
The Associates Programme will start on 19 April 2021 and run until 30 March 2022, with breaks in the summer and in the winter.
There is an open evening for people wanting to know more on Zoom on Tuesday 8 December, from 6-7pm – book here
The deadline for applications to Open School East is Monday 4 January 2021.
The building is only accessible by stairs, so is not suitable for people with mobility problems.
To find out more about the programme and how to apply, visit openschooleast.org

UPDATE: There Is A Media Sponsored Fund And A Crowdfunding Campaign To Support Charlie Hebdo
Jonathan Shieber	@jshieber / 6 years
Update: The Press and Pluralism Fund, which was set up by French newspapers to ensure diversity in media publishing (I'll let that sink in), has set up a campaign for Charlie Hebdo support. It's address is here.
There's also a crowdfunding campaign to support the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and the families of victims of the killing spree at its headquarters.
The campaign was started by David Opolon, an MIT PhD and a principal with a large consulting firm here in the U.S.
"It's great that a lot of people all over the world are donating. What's more important than just the amount is that we maximize the number of people that contribute," Opolon says.
For its good intentions, the logistics of how the money will be distributed hasn't been worked out, Opolon says.
"That's something we need to define as we get in touch with Charlie Hebdo, who are rightly mourning and working on the next issue," he told me. "The intent is for [the money] to go both to the families of the victims and to ensure the continuity of the paper."

The Washington Wizards and Orlando Magic meet Friday in NBA action at the Amway Center.
The Washington Wizards could use a win here after winning five of their last eight games. The Washington Wizards are averaging 113 points on 46.5 percent shooting and allowing 115.8 points on 47.1 percent shooting. Bradley Beal is averaging 24.7 points and five rebounds while Trevor Ariza is averaging 14.7 points and 4.5 assists. Otto Porter Jr. is the third double-digit scorer and Markieff Morris is grabbing 5.1 rebounds. The Washington Wizards are shooting 33.8 percent from beyond the arc and 76 percent from the free throw line. The Washington Wizards are allowing 36.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 41.2 rebounds per game. The Washington Wizards have lost nine of their last 10 road games.
The Orlando Magic could use a win here after losing nine of their last 12 games. The Orlando Magic are averaging 104.4 points on 44.7 percent shooting and allowing 107.9 points on 46.1 percent shooting. Nikola Vucevic is averaging 20.5 points and 12 rebounds while Aaron Gordon is averaging 15.6 points and 7.5 rebounds. Evan Fournier is the third double-digit scorer and Terrence Ross is grabbing 3.1 rebounds. The Orlando Magic are shooting 35.1 percent from beyond the arc and 77.6 percent from the free throw line. The Orlando Magic are allowing 36.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43 rebounds per game. The Orlando Magic have split their last eight home games.
The Wizards are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest, 17-36 ATS in their last 53 road games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Magic are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 5-16 ATS in their last 21 Friday games. The over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. The over is 6-0 in Magic last 6 overall. The over is 7-2 in Wizards last 9 vs. NBA Southeast.
The Washington Wizards are on the end of a back-to-back after a tough game against the Golden State Warriors in which a lot of their key players played heavy minutes. The Wizards also haven't been good on the road this season, as the defense is allowing 48.4 percent shooting and they're losing by an average of 9.8 points. The Wizards are also 6-17 ATS on the road this season. The Orlando Magic aren't a team I'm looking to lay chalk with, but they are rested and have been better with the return of Aaron Gordon. The home team has also won seven of the last 10 meetings between the Wizards and Magic. The chalk is small enough to back the Magic at home given the tough schedule spot for the Wizards.

Ramone Rochester is a UK rapper who records under the name of Ramz. This is his debut single in which Ramz deliberates whether he should meet up with his "ting from Barking." (A "ting" is a Caribbean slang word for someone who you can have fun without being in an actual committed relationship with that person).
Barking is a suburban town east of the city of London. Ramz, who hails from Mitcham in the south of London told Bespoke Mag the song is based on a real-life story about an actual Barking bae. "I speak to her but it's not like… it's a little thing on the side," he said.

My work revolves around the idea of landscape and other related concepts, and how we perceive, define and represent them. I have looked at them from the different perspectives that they cover and transform – philosophical, science, political or social-. Focusing fundamentally on the technological context of today's society, I seek to contribute with a new way of looking at landscapes that allows us to reflect, build new spaces; explore new horizons.
Through painting, drawing, photography or installation, I have generated different discourses that reveal the relationship between man and his surrounding environment. I analyze the conceptual transformations of landscape and its cultural construction, as a means to exploring its new representations. It is a path that allows me to understand tradition and the future from the emancipatory perspective of seeing reality in a different way. From the standpoint of an explorer, I investigate the changes that occur around us in order to understand and generate new points of view.

Aurora kinases are key regulators of mitosis (cell division), and are often over-expressed in human cancers. ENMD-2076 also targets the VEGFR, Flt-3 and FGFR3 kinases, which have been shown to play important roles in the pathology of several cancers. ENMD-2076 has shown promising activity in Phase 1 clinical trials in solid tumors including ovarian, breast, liver, renal and sarcoma, as well as in leukemia and multiple myeloma. ENMD-2076 is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials in multiple indications, including triple-negative breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian clear cell carcinomas and is preparing for a Phase 2 trial in fibrolamellar carcinoma. ENMD-2076 has received orphan drug designation from the U.S. FDA for the treatment of ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Interscholastic athletics are an integral part of the educational process of the Westhampton Beach School District. Athletics should be a broadening experience in which mind - body harmony is created by striving for physical and mental excellence. Westhampton Beach's aim is to develop a competitive athletic program without losing sight of educational values such as sportsmanship, health and scholastic attainment. It is the nature of athletic competition to strive for victory. However, the number of victories is only one criterion when determining the success of a season. Guiding the team to achieve its maximum potential is the ultimate goal. To this end, the coaching staff teaches student athletes to prepare their minds and bodies and to be modest in victory and steadfast in defeat.
The Westhampton Beach Hurricanes have a high participation rate in a well-rounded program of individual and team sports. Westhampton Beach offers sports that include varsity, junior varsity and modified programs for students in grades seven through twelve. Our teams and student-athletes have distinguished themselves with winning records and championships in the Section XI, and New York State competitions. Many teams have been recognized for their combined grade-point average through the NYSPHSAA team Scholar-Athlete program.
We wish all our teams a safe and healthy season. Go Canes!
For more information about our athletics, physical education, and health programs please contact Kathy Masterson, Athletic Director at (631) 288-3800 ext. 273/219.
