Crip History
A 15 year old Fremont High School student named Raymond Washington started a gang called the Baby Avenues in 1969 in an attempt to be like the older gangs and copy the political activities carried out by other organizations such as the Blacc Panthers. The gang named itself the Avenue Cribs eventually and took on the niccname Cribs because most members were very young bacc then. The name Crips was first brought up in L.A. a Los Angeles newspaper in a artical about young Cribs with canes, as if they were crippled. A lot of people believe the name came to existance because of a spelling error. Either way, The name stucc and the Crips alliance was formed.
Stanley Tookie Williams is one of the co-founders of the Crips. He started his own gang called the Westside Crips. The Crips were very well known throughout southern L.A. as more and more people began to join. The Crips eventually became the biggest and most ruthless gang in California and began targetting the other non-crip gangs with daily acts of violence. In retaliation, all non-crip gangs, including the Pirus, later formed an alliance that eventually became known as the Bloods.
Along with a few other friends near his 78th Street home near Fremont High School, Stanley Tookie Williams and Raymond Washington created the Crips alliance with the initial intent of continuing the revolutionary ideology of the 1960s and mimicking the Black Panthers. They even made the word crip stand for "Community Revolution In Progress". They failed miserably in becoming a positive movement because of their lacc of political leadership. They later became obsessed with protecting themselves from the other non-crip alliance independent gangs in the community which began to increase violence and resistance towards the Crips. The Crips began to increase violence and take over new turf. Some of the other original founding fathers of the crips were Angelo "Barefoot Pookie" White, Melvin Hardy, Bennie Simpson, Greg Batman Davis, Jimel The God father Barnes, Raymond Cook, Eccy, Michael Christianson, Michael Shaft Concepcion, Macc Thomas and No 1.
Most Crip sets wear blue. Some people believe the origin of the color is from the school colors of Washington High School in South L.A. Other believe they started wearing blue because of "Buddha", who always wore blue shirts, khakis, shoes, and a blue bandana from his left poccet, which is why Crips flag out the left side. When Buddha died, Tookie made blue the Crip color in honor of his death. The Grape Street Crips, on the other hand, have been known to wear purple in addition to blue. The Shotgun Crips are in Gardena, California and have been known to wear green, the city color of Gardena, in addition to blue to show that they are from Gardena. Crips under the Gangster Card are known to wear Gray in addition to blue. Long Beach Rollin' 20's Crips are known to wear yellow and blacc in addition to blue. Crips under the Neighborhood Card and the Avenue Crips are known to wear baby blue. Fudge Town Crips are known to wear brown and blue.
All Hoover Criminal Crip sets began to use orange flags in addition to the blue flags to seperate themselves from the rest of the sets in the Crips alliance, essentially turning Hoover Criminal into it's own "Card" or "Car" for short. Cards are smaller alliances of individual Crip gangs within the Crip alliance itself, which gangs within the cards are known to put before the whole Crip alliance. Other Crip cards include: Neighborhood Crips (NHC), Trays (Gangster Crips or 3x), Deuces (2x), Blocc Crips, Coasts, NYCC (New York City Crips), and CC Riders (Compton Crips). Crip gangs strictly bang (go to war) to defend their territory (hood) before any alliance or card, and are known to be very vicious in their attaccs. Also, Crip sets are always trying to expand their territories and find new territories to take over which essentially makes their wars never ending. Crips are known to mark their territories and all boundaries by the use of extreme wall banging. Wall banging consists of marking territory with graffitti which shows what gang controls that turf or going into a rivals turf and crossing out their graffitti.
There are significantly more Crip gangs today than when the alliance was first created. This is because many independent organizations outside of California, and across the United States have also turned into Crip sets. All it takes for an entire independent organization or gang to become a Crip set is the will to become Crips, meaning any gang can become a Crip set if it chooses to do so. Many Crip sets have names which include the name of their City, a street that runs through their turf, or the name of the projects, apartment complex, or community they control. Crips are known to shout "CaRip" and "OoWoo" as a greeting to other Crips and to let their presense be known. Crips are also known to do a "Crip Whistle" which consists of 2 short bursts of loud whistles followed by a long burst of loud whistle.

By the 1990s, the Hoovers renounced Crips and decided to change their name, by replacing Crips with Criminals. They Claim "ABK" or "EBK" which stands for Anybody Killer or Everybody Killer. It was common to see "BK" (Blood Killer) as well as "CK" (Crip Killer) and "OK" (Rollin 0's), spray painted on the walls within their territory.
The Hoover Criminals Anybody Killer (ABK) model is similar to Mexican-American street gangs. Most Hispanic gangs in South Los Angeles, only ally are the Mexican Mafia. Their decision to wage an all out war against other surrounding Bloods and Crips as well as Hispanic gangs, severed several alliance's with many of their former allies.
The Hoover Criminals are allies of all Hoover sub-sets Their main ally outside of the Hoover Criminals, were the Main Street Mafia Crips. However, in 2009, their alliance ended on bad terms at a house party throw by the Main Street's, who invited the Hoover Criminals. Allegedly, the Hoover Criminals and the Main Street Crips, got into an confutation, followed by gun-fire.
The Hoover Criminals Gang have waged war on all Raymond Ave Crips, East Coast Crips, Neighborhood Crips, Rollin 0's (Crips), Rollin Hundreds (100's), and more recent the Main Street Mafia Crips. The 112 Hoover Criminals Gang feud with the Denver Lane Bloods, has resulted in a portion of the 112 Hoovers neighborhood being overrun by the Denver Lane Bloods.
The 1990s, Anybody Killer (BK/CK/OK) mentality and brutal nature, have amounted in countless casualties of gang-related shootings. Due to their constant feud with rival gangs, this is the most dangerous area in Los Angeles, to live and raise a family. They also are involved a deadly feud with the South Los 13, a Sureño gang that turned racist.
Compton Crips (C.C. Riders)
The Compton Crips is a large umbrella, made up of several sub-gangs located throughout the city of Compton, California. The Compton Crips, was founded by Mac Thomas, in the 1960s. Mac Thomas were allies of the Westside Crips led by Stanley Tookie Williams, who is also the co-founder of the Crips.
Mac Thomas and Tookie Williams, were introduced by a mutual friend Raymond Washington, founder of the Eastside Crips and Co-founder of the Crips. However, in 1971, Mac Thomas resented Raymond Washington for forming an alliance with the Piru Street Family (Piru Crips), who were arch enemies of the Compton Crips. Nevertheless, by 1973, the Piru-Crip alliance soon shattered after constant conflict.
Mac Thomas and Raymond Washington, were both arrested on separate occasions. Meanwhile, on the streets there gangs broke up into several smaller sub-sets such as the Grandee Compton Crips, Park Village Compton Crips and the Butler Blocc Compton Crips. By the mid 1980s, there were over twenty active street gangs under the Compton Crips umbrella.
Mac Thomas and Raymond Washington, shared a similar faith, both were murdered after being released from prison. Mac Thomas, who was the undisputed leader of the Compton Crips turned full-time hustler. He was allegedly murdered by his crime partners, for his stake in a robbery heist, according to Blue Rage, Black Redemption: A Memoir By Stanley Tookie Williams.
C.C. Riders (Compton Crips Riders) pronounced CC Ridas, and often spelled with a Z (CC Ridaz). The term CC Riders was discovered by Fredrick "Baby Gangster" Staves, who is affiliated with the Santana Blocc Compton Crips. Along with fellow comrad Big Marcellus, together they formed CC Riders, in the Los Angeles, County Jail in 1986. Which, consisted of an alliance between all Crip gangs, who falls under the Compton Crips brand.
Which, consisted of the Original Poccet Hood Compton Crips (PHCC) which are cliqued up with the Santana Blocc Compton Crips (SBCC) and Anzac Grape Compton Crips (AGCC).

Which, make them 3 of the most respected gangs in the city of Compton.
Tragniew Park Compton Crips, MC Eiht (Rapper) from "Compton Most Wanted" (Rap group) is connected with the (TPCC). The Neighborhood Compton Crips (NHCC), and Twilight Zone Compton Crips (TZCC) as well as the Original Swamps Compton Crips (OSCC), are also located on the eastside of Rosewood, but still claim (C.C. Ridaz).

All of the following Compton Crips gangs is defunct and no longer active: Butler Blocc Compton Crips, Burris Blocc Compton Crips, Grandee Compton Crips was named after a street in Compton, called Grandee which is now consider part of Nutty Blocc Compton Crips territory.
Crip on Crip Violence
In 1971, a gang on Piru Street in Compton, California, known as the Piru Street Boys, was formed and associated themselves with the Crips as a set. After two years of peace, a feud began between the Piru Street Crips and the other Crip sets. It started when a Crip killed a teen after refusing to hand over his jacket, the Piru Street Cryps were against attacks on innocent civilians and confronted the set. The Piru Street Crips was meant with hostility from other Crip sets not liking their belief about not harming non gang bangers. It would later turn violent as gang warfare ensued between former allies. This battle continued and by 1973, the Piru Street Boys wanted to end the violence and called a meeting with other gangs that were targeted by the Crips. After a long discussion, the Pirus broke all connections to the Crips and started an organization that would later be called the Bloods, a street gang infamous for its rivalry with the Crips.
In September 1979 a 15-year-old member of the ETG's nicknamed Bootsy got into a fight with a teenaged member of the Rollin 60's Neighborhood Crips named Tyrone over a girl who had been dating both young men. Before this incident and the gang war that resulted from it, the Eight-Trays and the Rollin 60's were close allies, even participating in fights and shootings together against the Bloods. In a subsequent fistfight between the two teenagers a new recruit to the ETG's, eager to make a name for himself, pulled a gun and shot Tyrone to death. Tyrone's older brother, a member of the Rollin' 60's, demanded that the ETG's hand over the new recruit to be punished by the 60's and to prevent a war between the two gangs. The ETG's were unable to find the new recruit, who had already turned himself in to the police. The Rollin' 60's, feeling that the ETG's weren't being honest, murdered a member of the ETG's in retaliation, shooting the young man in his face six times at point blank range after he was ambushed on his front porch. A meeting was called by the leaders of both gangs in an attempt to end the fight. However, because tensions were high with both gangs, the meeting erupted into a gang rumble, after which the Rollin' 60's and the ETG's engaged in a gang war that still exists to this day.
The Hoover Crips are at war with all sets of the Coaster Crips causing high casualties on both sides. The Hoovers also declared war on sets claiming the Gangster and Neighborhood Crip gangs. Crip on Crip rivalries are so intense that few Crip sets went as far as to team up with local Blood sets to fight their Crip rivals. The PJ Watts Crips teamed up with the Bounty Hunter Bloods to fight against the Grape Street Crips. 95% of Crips in California at war with other Crips causing heavy casualties in the alliance. The Crip on Crip violence took more Crip lives than any war with any Blood set. Crip on Crip wars are not only just in California, areas with high numbers of Crips usually have Crips going to war with other Crips. In New York, Crip on Crip wars have been going on for almost 20 years but is not as deadly as the wars in the West Coast. It is right to say that the Crips' biggest enemies are other Crips.
The Race War
During the 1970s many Hispanic gangs started showing up around the Los Angles area. Many of the newly formed Hispanic gangs formed a Latino gang alliance known as the "Surenos". The Surenos represented Hispanic gangs in the Southern California area, the Surenos will later be controlled by a known prison gang called La eMe a.k.a. the Mexican Mafia. The Mexican Mafia formed an alliance with a known white supremacist prison gang called the Aryan Brotherhood. In exchange for the newly formed alliance the Mexican Mafia took on the Aryan's number 1 rival the Black Guerrilla Family a known black prison gang. The BGF is made up of Crips & Bloods that hit the prison system and needs protection from other prison gangs. The Mexican Mafia and BGF war intensified so much that the Mexican Mafia put a "Green Light" on all blacks in Southern California, the act was known as "Ethnic Cleansing". The Surenos being the foot soldiers for the Mafia carried out the hit and started targeting African Americans on sight. Many of the people that were attacked were members of the Crips, this started a war between the Crips and the Surenos.
The Coaster Crips have along deadly war with one of the Sureno's largest gangs Florencia 13. The Crips had a hard time fighting the Surenos because of their ongoing war with the Bloods and high volumes of Crip on Crip violence. The Surenos also has a high volume of Sureno on Sureno violence creating rifts between the gangs. Not all Sureno gangs followed the order from the Mafia and didn't like the race war that they started. 18th Street is considered to be the largest Sureno gang in California, 18th Street teamed up with a few local Crip sets to fight against MS-13, Florencia 13, the Avenues, Logan Heights, and the Bloods most notably the Almighty Black Peace Stone Bloods. Varrio Largo 36 has a no hostility pact with the Santana Blocc and the Mona Park Compton Crips, this is because they live in the same hood. Few Gangster Crip sets also has an alliance with the Playboy Surenos against rival Sureno, Crip, and Blood gangs. In Compton race wars is at its highest mostly due the war between the A.T.F Compton Crips and the Compton Varrio 70's and the Tokers. Also the war between the Poccet Hood, Original Front Hood, and the Anzac Grape Compton Crips against Varrio Lokos 13. The war with the Surenos is so intense that a few Crip sets squashed their beef with other Crip sets and even teamed up with local Blood sets to fight against the common threat. Currently Crip and Sureno war is still going on taking numerous lives. Crips outside of California have an advantage on Surenos, this is mostly due the Crips alliance with the Folk Nation and the Surenos have beef with Nortenos, Bloods, and the People Nation. Non West Coast Crip and Sureno beef is not as intense as the war in L.A. but the two organizations still feud with each other but on a much smaller scale.
List of Crip Sets
NOTE: Most Crip sets outside of California are named after LA/Compton sets to trace their gang roots. NY is one of the few states with their own homegrown sets, however most are considered fake because their not connected to the original Crips in California and they make their own rules and knowledge.

Crips in Canada
During the 1990s, many Crips moved up north to places like Canada to get in the growing drug trade. The Crips built strongholds all around Toronto mostly in the poorer Black neighborhoods in many housing projects. The Crips started recruiting neighborhood kids that wanted to take part in criminal activities, most of the kids recruited were African Canadians and African Caribbean immigrants. One of the first Crip sets to emerge was the Doomstown Rexdale Crips, started in the late 1980s, the gang was made up mostly Afro Caribbean immigrants. The gang was originally known as the Jamestown Crew but changed its name after Crips from California told them to join the Crips. The newly formed Doomstown Rexdale Crips started spreading the Crip culture and made other local gangs join the Crips. Soon after the Rexdale Crips was formed, which included the Doomstown, Stovetop, Tandridge, Mount Olive, Bergomot, O-Blocc, and the Humberline Crips. The Rexdale Crips became the largest gang in the area and attacked any gang that refused to join the Crips, in reaction to this many gangs started representing the Crips biggest rival, the Bloods. The Bloods mostly resided in the Down-Bottom area of the Jane and Finch neighborhood, because of the war between the gangs from Up-Top and the gangs from Down-Bottom gangs in Up-Top started representing the Crips to fight the Bloods from Down-Bottom. The first Crip set coming from Up-Top was the Driftwood Crips, who together with the Shoreham Crips, G-Side Crips, and the Young Bucc Killer Crips formed the Up-Top Crip alliance. Another Crip faction was formed in the Scarlettwood Court complex which included the Scarlett Blocc Crips, Falstaff Crips, Tretheway Gangster Crips, and the Ghost Town Crips. With these 3 Crip alliances the Crips later became Toronto's largest gang with having thousands of members.
Many other Crip sets started emerging all around Toronto most notably the Eglinton West Crips, Glendower Crips, and the Bay Mills Crips. The Crips were even successful in recruiting one of Toronto's most dangerous homegrown gangs, The Gatorz. The Gatorz was formed to combat the rising Crip and Blood sets in West Toronto, after warring with the Pelham Park Bloods and Chalkfarm Bloods, the Gatorz decided to join the Crips. This made the Crips one of the most deadliest gangs in the city, but because of the growing Crip on Crip violence most notably with the Up-Top Crips and the Rexdale Crips it stopped the Crips from conquering Toronto's streets. The Bloods were more united than the Crips so many Blood sets took advantage of this and attacked the Crips. The Crip on Crip war was so great that the Darkside Crips became defunct after having a war with both the Glendower and the Bay Mills Crips. Darkside later came back but dropped from the Crip alliance and became Bloods, enraging all local Crip sets. The newly formed Darkside Bloods were backed up by local Blood sets to fight the Crips. Rivals of the Crips include all Blood sets, Latin Kings, 5 Point Generalz, Jungle City Goonz (turned Blood), MS-13, Point Blank Souljahs, and the Project Originals (turned Blood).
Crips and the Folk Nation
The Crips have been known to work with the Folk Nation. There have been documented examples of Crips and GD's coming together throughout the south in places like Florida and Memphis and in the midwest in cities like Detroit and Kansas City since the late 80's, but the Crips are not part of the Folk Nation. An alliance started between the two organizations with a cease-fire/hood share agreement between Crips and the Gangster Disciples that originated in San Diego California in 1991 called the "8 Ball". The alliance of the local Gangster Disciple decks and Crip sets was so they can rival the lucrative Blood/People Nation alliance that has been going on since the 70's in Los Angeles, California.
The 8 ball alliance gave an opportunity for Larry Hoover (GD leader) to do something productive to earn parole and be released from prison, so in October 1993 he had the GD's on the streets organize a "peace treaty summit meeting" in Chicago, bringing in Crips from all over the continental USA, as well as a lot of GD's and sympathizers to the GD "cause". This peace treaty set off similar peace treaties around the U.S. between Crips and GD's, most notably in Kansas City and New York City. The year 1993 would therefore signal the year in which "Crips" would align themselves to aid the "Folks" (particularly GDs) against rival gangs like the Bloods, Vice Lords, Latin Kings, etc. Today, "Crips" and "Folks" are allies and help each other out when it is needed. It was not a hard treaty to make: both Crips and GDs wear "blue".
They called this alliance the "8 Ball" because of the shape you get when you merge the "C" handsign of the Crips with the "Pitch Fork" handsign of the Gangster Disciples, which is how they greet each other to show Crip/GD solidarity. Unlike the Stones who actually became a Blood set to align the People Nation and Bloods, Crips and Gangster Disciples remain 2 separate organizations that consider each other "first cousins" in the streets. Crips and Gangster Disiples share hoods and resources all around the country and Crips help GD's against rival gangs trying to take their turf.
The "8 Ball" has been known to be "cracked" in some areas where the local Crip sets were pressured to return to their Los Angeles roots and stop aiding the Folk Nation, leaving both gangs/alliances to fight a bloody war for sole control of that hood; these instances are very rare. Contrary to popular belief, Crips do not use any secret books of gang knowledge and gang prayers like most gangs do. Some Crip sets, however, simply use their own unique code words to communicate with each other.
Many Crip sets have begun utilizing the number 6 to rival the Blood's 5, but they don't represent the Folk's 6 point star. When a Crip uses the number 6, for them it signifies the 6 letters found in the phrase: "C.R.I.P.U.P." or "Crip Up". The word "C.R.I.P." is actually an acronym that stands for "C.ommunity R.evolution I.n P.rogress". When a Crip is using the 6 point "C.R.I.P. U.P." It stands for "C.ommunity R.evolution I.n P.rogess - U.ndying P.ower". Crips are also known to use the phrase "Crips don't die, we multiply", meaning they will never disapear because they will always branch out and create new Crip hoods forever. Many Crip sets have been given passes to use the number 6 in their tags if it is to represent them as Crips and not Folks. Crips using the 6 point star or throwing up pitch forks are considered to be fake Crips.
NOTE: CRIPS ARE NOT PART OF THE FOLK NATION. THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS ARE JUST ALLIES TO HELP FIGHT AGAINST RIVALS AND TO EXPAND THEIR CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS. CRIPS ARE ALSO ENEMIES TO THE NORTENO ALLIANCE AND WHITE SUPREMACIST GANGS.

When I explicity puts 3.0.7. I don't understand this such kind of problems between the last version of Rest Assured and Groovy 3.
Thanks in advance for a solution.

A: Just a guess, but it looks like you forgot the : between the artifactId and the version.

org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-json3.0.7 should be org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-json:3.0.7.
Without an MCVE this is a much as I can glean from my cristal ball.

A: Yes was my fault I ommited in the gradle file the ':' in this dependencies.
Now:
testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:${groovyVersion}")
testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-json:${groovyVersion}")
testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-xml:${groovyVersion}")
testImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-core:${groovySpockVersion}")
testImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-spring:${groovySpockVersion}")
// optional dependencies for using Spock

Now the test runs ok:
> Configure project :
executing dev liquibase
executing int liquibase
executing pre liquibase
executing pro liquibase

> Task :test

In this early October, Danny and I have our short gateaway to Penang. Well, since this was our third time, we were craving for something that we never tried before. That's how we found Guo Xiang Fu Steamboat. It is located at Jalan Seang Tek, Georgetown, which isn't too far from our hotel.
I was attracted by its door/entrance at first sight. But don't deceived by it. It is wallpaper, instead of the classic Chinese door.
We ordered the seafood porridge and add on some a' la carte dishes. When the food was served, we knew we will gain weight for sure!
Other than the porridge steamboat, Guo Xiang Fu also serve the traditional types of soup such as spicy, tom yam and clear soup. Customers can choose to have either one or two or all type of soups in the same pot. We were tempting to try the soups too, yet, we only have 2 persons, we couldn't try all since we have already ordered the seafood porridge steamboat package.
The food not only look delicious, they are truly delicious! One thing that Guo Xiang Fu stands out of the crowd is they offers door-to-door steamboat delivery (in Penang). So, if you plan to have your family gathering, party etc, you can arrange this delivery earlier with Guo Xiang Fu and they will prepare all the equipment needed. The only thing you would need to prepare will be the place to set your steamboat.
All in all, it was a very satisfying dinner for two. We will definitely return to Guo Xiang Fu during our future visit in Penang.
you ruined all my diet program..
Everything looks so good! I'm drooling over those pork fillets, especially.
wonder how much do they charge ya..i love steamboat!
Everything looks so amazing and so yummy, I especially like the look of the seafood porridge.
Oh my! All of the food looks very delicious!!!
Love how the food is decorated on the table! Seems like a lovely place! I'm sure you would have enjoyed!

You can get an amazing matchington mansion hack stars coins that is enabled to give the participant an head start whilst gaming. As an example, you'll use the matchington mansion coins generator in your favorite game to offer your easiest persona with special talents that will lend a hand you get money to accomplish a challenge and transfer to the next level sooner and easier.
It goes without saying that matchington mansion hack stars coins has a pair of hacks and cheats gamers can make the most of to reach even the most difficult missions. These features not only offer the keys of the way to acquire an assortment of skills, but they also offer important guidelines, that can enable the participant to go around some missions.
Does your favourite video game include matchington mansion coins generator or a sport hack? If sure, best for you. But when not, you'll find the ones somewhere else.
For the majority of games that do not arrive with their own matchington mansion coins generator and matchington mansion hack stars coins, there are various websites that release third-party hacks and codes to obtain coins. Some websites offer them free of charge, whereas others do this for a cost. Consequently, if you can't seem to locate some game cheat and hack codes for your game in the choices search for those online. You will find a number.
Builders will at all times regulate a recreation for testing functions earlier than its free up. In most cases, when a modification has been done, the matchington mansion coins generator used could also be left within the sport both intentionally or accidentally. If activated, those codes grow to be the matchington mansion hack stars coins and cheats of any specific recreation. That may be how hacks and recreation cheat codes are developed.
Why many programmers deliberately provide hacks and cheat codes to their various games. The reason why some programmers intentionally avail the matchington mansion coins generator to their matches is business. They understand that some gamers may not have the skills necessary to play and accomplish all of the missions in their video game, especially if it's a game.
However, some players would be turned off by a game that is too tricky to finish yet lacks any matchington mansion hack stars coins they can fall back . Therefore, if the participant played a friend's game, for instance, they'd definitely not look for coins following the experience they've had with this. That would mean no subsequent sale for your programmer.


Brightly colored yet see through recycling or trash bags that fit the Hexcycle® IV perfectly.
The recycling bags have a large bright white recycling symbol that lets everyone know this collection is not destined for the land fill.
The brown trash bags are plain brown to distinguish it from the recyclables.
Easily indicate the contents on the recycling bags with a marker by checking the corresponding preprinted recyclables descriptions on each bag.

Your website: It's the face you show the world and it's the place you direct your customers to probably every day. When it's running like you want it to, it's a thing of beauty. But when things go wrong, man, they go wrong. This post isn't going to be the cure-all for what ails your site, but might give you some ideas on how to prevent big issues later on. Consider it an ounce of prevention, so to speak.
Make sure your site is maintained all the time, and if you're not good at that, make sure you work with someone who is.
If your host doesn't already provide it, make sure you're doing regular back-ups of your site.
Apply updates cautiously. We use WordPress in our builds, so software updates are pretty regular for it, and the plugins that it uses. These updates can break sites, because of software, theme and other conflicts.
Get a maintenance plan in place, if you don't have one already. This allows someone else to do the updating and maintenance, so your site is kept up to date and fine-tuned without you worrying about it. Expect to pay about $1200-3000 annually. While it might seem like a lot of money, think about it like your vehicle; by keeping it tuned up and working right, you avoid giant expenses later on, and hopefully minimize outages or other issues.
Watch for strange comments and traffic in your analytics; if you notice some odd or frequent spamming going on, you might need to make some changes to certain posts or pages, by either deleting them, renaming them, or changing access levels.
Update your site's content regularly, weekly, if possible. It helps improve your SEO by letting search engines know you keep your site up, and also keeps your customers up to date on changes.
Make sure your site is modern, mobile-friendly and well-designed. Out-dated, ill-conceived or convoluted designs can cause problems for guests and a drain on hosting servers. Newer designs help with the way a site performs, while presenting a better image to your customers about your business, and newer technology exists to help your site run better.
Good luck with your site and if you have any web-related questions you want to ask us, drop us a line.

La chambre à air est un boyau en caoutchouc rempli d'air (pour un ballon on parle plutôt de vessie).
Dans le bandage pneumatique démontable, à l'intérieur duquel elle se trouve protégée, elle maintient de l'air contenu à haute pression et offre une bonne résistance au roulement, permettant un système de roulage sur route ou chemins plus confortable et plus performant que les précédents. La chambre à air a été mise au point à la fin du  pour remplacer le bandage caoutchouté plein en usage auparavant sur les cycles et les véhicules automobiles.
Actuellement, les chambres à air sont généralement faites d'un caoutchouc dit caoutchouc (halo)butyl, à faible perméabilité à l'air.

Histoire, matériaux
Constituées à l'origine de latex naturel et de noir de carbone (stabilisateur), les chambres à air sont par la suite constituées de caoutchouc synthétique rendu plus résistant et étanche par adjonction d'acrylonitrile, de manière à les rendre plus résistants aux variations de températures et de pressions (avec pour inconvénient d'avoir rendu ce caoutchouc très peu biodégradable et difficile à recycler).

Le noir de carbone (qui tend à être remplacé par des particules fines de silice jugées moins nocives pour l'environnement) améliorent le comportement mécanique du pneu (et de la chambre à air) et alors que des particules de petite taille (de silice ou carbone) sont utilisées dans la bande de roulement et la carcasse du pneu, elles peuvent être plus grosses dans le caoutchouc de la chambre à air.

Depuis plusieurs décennies, de nouveaux matériaux, notamment de type polymères nanocomposites, sont étudiés, développés par la R&D et pour certains déjà utilisés pour et par l'industrie du pneu et de la chambre à air afin d'améliorer les propriétés physicochimiques du caoutchouc ; ces matériaux « multiphases » peuvent incorporer des nanofibres, des nanoparticules, des nanotubes, de la nanosilice, des nanoargiles et d'autres éléments de charge nanométriques et des nanocomposites dispersés à l'intérieur de matrices polymères.

L'évolution technique fait qu'au XXIème siècle, les pneus de voiture, de plus en plus souvent, n'ont plus de chambre à air, mais les poids lourds, ou des véhicules non motorisés légers comme le vélo, ainsi que d'autres engins en utilisent encore, presque entièrement faite d'une matériaux synthétique caoutchouteux vulcanisé et conçu pour résister à la pression de l'air et à la relative flexibilité du pneu, de manière à absorber les chocs et à protéger le cadre de la roue.

Fonctionnement

Logée à l'intérieur du pneu et contre la jante, elle est munie d'une valve permettant de la gonfler. La pression de l'air à l'intérieur dépend du type de véhicule, de la dimension du pneu et du type d'activité pratiquée. Les chambres à air peuvent se réparer avec une rustine et une colle vulcanisante.

Historique
En 1887, l'Écossais John Boyd Dunlop a l'idée d'entourer les roues en bois de la bicyclette de son fils avec des tubes en caoutchouc remplis d'air afin d'en améliorer le confort, le bruit, la vitesse et l'adhérence sur route. Son pneumatique a un succès immédiat dans le monde du vélo, les grands champions de l'époque l'utilisent avec succès. John Boyd Dunlop dépose le brevet du pneu à air avec valve le .

En 1891, Édouard et André Michelin (Michelin) perfectionnent le produit à la suite d'une demande de réparation à Clermont-Ferrand d'un cycliste anglais équipé des simples boudins en caoutchouc inventés par Dunlop. Ils inventent le premier pneumatique démontable avec une chambre à air indépendante du pneumatique. L'usine Michelin commence à produire ces pneus démontables en . Son directeur, Édouard Michelin, dépose les brevets sur ce « concept de pneu démontable » du  au .

Le pneumatique démontable avec chambre à air, devenu d'un usage universel, est utilisé par toutes sortes de véhicules et d'engins, depuis les bicyclettes jusqu'aux avions gros porteurs, en passant par les motocyclettes, automobiles, poids lourds, tracteurs agricoles, chariots et diables, engins de chantier et métros, sans oublier les brouettes de jardin et les trottinettes.

Au , pour les motocyclettes et les automobiles, la chambre à air devient plus rare, remplacée par le pneu sans chambre à air, dit tubeless selon la terminologie anglophone.

Toxicologie
Il est reconnu que certains travailleurs de l'industrie du caoutchouc sont exposés à un excès de risque d'allergies.

Ils ont aussi un risque accru de certains cancers (cancer du larynx, cancer de la trachée, cancer des bronches et cancer des poumons, et moindrement mais significativement cancer de la prostate et cancer de la peau. Ils ont aussi un risque accru de cancer du sang (leucémie), en particulier dans l'industrie qui produit les chambres à air.

Ces problèmes de santé au travail ont été attribués à l'exposition des ouvriers à des effets génotoxiques de certains additifs ou composants du caoutchouc de synthèse et/ou aux solvants utilisés lors du process industriel (benzène notamment, bien connu pour son caractère cancérigène).

Il ne semble pas exister d'études précises à grande échelle, mais une étude cas-témoin de niche (2002) a conclu que les risques de leucémie dus à l'exposition au caoutchouc synthétique sont bien réels et augmentent avec le nombre d'années de travail dans une unité de fabrication de chambres à air (), probablement suite à l' et pour cette raison, selon les auteurs, .

Fin de vie, réusage, déchet

Le caoutchouc des pneus et des chambres à air est très lentement et très peu biodégradable, et comprend des composés toxiques. Entant que déchet, il est donc souvent déchiqueté et utilisé comme combustible de substitution, et ainsi incinéré en cimenterie.

Pour faire entrer ce matériaux dans les boucles se voulant vertueuses de l'économie circulaire, des méthodes mécaniques, thermomécaniques, cryomécaniques de broyage ont été testées ou utilisées, et d'autres approches, notamment de dévulcanisation à haute température (jusqu'à 240°C voire plus) dans un liquide ionique, solvants eutectiques (huile minérale aromatique ou paraffinique) activé par irradiation aux micro-ondes en présence d'un agent de dévulcanisation (éventuellement de type catalyseur, avec par exemple comme agents testés : l'hexadécylamine ou HDA, le disulfure de diphényle ou DPDS, le disulfure de N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiozyl sulfénamide ou CBS, le disulfure de 2-mercaptobenzothiazole ou MBTS) sont en cours d'étude ou de développement. Une étude (2020) a aussi porté sur les effets ionisants et destructifs du rayonnement gamma, susceptible de modifier la structure et les propriétés des matériaux en vue d'un recyclage/récupération plus aisé des caoutchoucs, concluant à une .

Les chambres à air si elles ne sont que percée de trous de taille modestes peuvent théoriquement être plusieurs fois réparés voire upcyclées. Elle sont parfois recyclées en bouées, éléments de balançoire, jouet pour enfant ou découpées pour en réutiliser le caoutchouc élastique pour d'autres usages, sans que l'on sache dans quelle mesure la toxicité de composants allergènes et cancérigènes tels que l'acrylonitrile puisse ou non poser problème pour la santé, faute d'étude publiées pour le cas particulier des risques de relargage d'acrylonitrile de à partir d'une chambre à air, notamment exposées à l'air et au UV solaires.

Poverty in South Korea has been in drastic decline since the mid-20th century, particularly the absolute poverty rate. Relative poverty was also in decline until the late 1990s, but has risen since then. While only about 2% of South Koreans are affected by absolute poverty today, about 14-15% of these 2% are elderly and are affected by relative poverty.

Trends

Choo, Park and Yoon noted that both absolute and relative poverty have declined in Korea from 1965 to 1990. They concluded that "rapid economic growth during [the analyzed period of 1960s-1980s] in Korea has alleviated poverty to a great extent". Philips et al. praised South Korea, noting that "South Korea has experienced one of the most dramatic declines in absolute poverty that the world has seen". They added that while over half of the Korean population was affected by absolute poverty in mid-1950s, absolute poverty had declined to only about 3.4 percent of the population by the mid-1990s. As of 2001, absolute poverty was below 2% (however, another estimate for 2000 cited 11.5%). However, more recent data suggests that relative poverty has been on the rise, growing from about 8% in the early 1990s to 15% as of 2012.

According to official estimates, about 15% of South Koreans live below the poverty line. Poverty in South Korea is defined as relative poverty. It is important to note that relative poverty is not the same as absolute poverty: relative poverty measures the share of the population living on less than half of the median income. (Median income in South Korea in 2007 was $19,179 (W20m).) About half of all citizens over the age of 65 are living in poverty, one of the highest rates among OECD countries.

On November 15, 2021, according to reports, South Korea ranks fourth in the world in terms of relative poverty among major economies.

Poverty among Korean elderly
In the rapidly aging demographics in South Korea, many elderly require healthcare. Studies taken across many demographics concluded that South Korean elderly with low income lack proper social protection from the government and are the most disadvantaged. In recent years "the proportion of aged 65 and older among people with disabilities has quickly increased, from 30.3% to 43.3% in 2014". That makes South Korea the leader in this aspect as 3 times the growth as compared to the international average.

26 percent of Korean elderly lived in poverty in 2008. Among OECD countries, the poverty risk is significantly higher for South Korea's elderly. While the number of elders living in poverty increases every year for many countries, South Korea remains with the highest poverty rate of people aged over 65 among the OECD countries. Moreover, the poverty risk is particularly high for the South Korean elderly who are less educated, living alone, living in a rural area, or are not in good health. Many low-income elderly individuals are currently living with their children, which are often providing them with financial aid, and many also depend on welfare transfers.

Reasons for poverty
OECD listed several factors among the reasons for poverty in Korea. First, public social spending in South Korea is low. Social spending by the government in South Korea was 7.6% of GDP in 2007, compared to the OECD average of 19%. This can be explained by the Korean traditional reliance on family and the private sector to provide such services. Second, Korea's dualistic labour market, in which a significant number of workers are hired only on temporary contracts with low wages and benefits, results in high inequality in wage income.

Income inequality

South Korea, along with many other East Asian countries, has been known for very equal distribution of income and wealth. However, this has been changing over the last few decades. Statistics show that in the 1990s, income equality reached a peak and has declined since then. This may be in part due to the country's rapid economic growth. In a now more competitive job market, the head of the household or householder is expected to be more educated, which makes it hard for rural families to compete with a lack of access to higher education, subsequently resulting in income inequality between urban and rural areas. Some attribute income inequality to a change in traditional household head dynamics in South Korea. An increase in single headed households and a stiflingly low access to new jobs has created a financially challenging situations for many families in South Korea, leading many not to have families at all.

Welfare state

South Korea has a seemingly brutal take on welfare and trade unions. Many trade unions and the opposition groups they represent have been shut down by the government. It was only within the last decade that a social security has been set up for the elderly, but many elderly still live in extreme poverty despite help from the government. South Korea has a comprehensive national healthcare for all of its citizens.
