Run Away Reader Reviews
Twisting, turning, gritty, gripping and absolutely compelling!
Firstly, I have to say I've never read a Harlan Coben book before. I thought I'd try to branch out! I'm very glad I did!
Simon appears to have it all. A successful career, a happy marriage to his equally successful doctor wife and three children. However, his oldest child Paige has run away and is a drug addict in the thrall of an abusive boyfriend. Simon tries to find Paige but when he does he sets off a series of events that could easily end in disaster for all of their family.
I love twists and turns when reading, and this was packed with them from the start to the very bitter end! Just as I was fully immersed in Simon's story, the narrative changed to follow two new characters and it took quite some time until it was revealed how they were relevant to the rest of the plot. This only served to keep me even more gripped and I completely devoured the whole book desperate to find out answers!
I wouldn't initially have chosen this type of book, thinking it might be a bit too "blokey", but I was proven very wrong. A great, intriguing plot, a cast of interesting characters and a fast gripping pace. I will definitely be reading more by this author!

Two seemingly unrelated plots collide at the very end in a fast and explosive finish.
Having read some of Harlan Coben's previous books, I was looking forward to reading this. The book begins with Simon, who has been looking for his missing daughter, suddenly spotting her busking in a park. The story is told in two plot lines. One follows Simon as he tries desperately to find and save his daughter, who ran off when he approached her. Just what will a parent do to save their child? The other plot, following a hit man, seems so completely unrelated it is like reading two books at the same time. The story is a big knot of threads which unravel in all sorts of unexpected ways as the body count rises. The two seemingly unrelated plots collide at the very end in a fast and explosive finish.

If you're already a Harlan Coben fan then this is a must read and if not and you're yet to discover this excellent author, there's no better book to start with, you won't be disappointed.
I have always enjoyed Harlan Coben novels and have constantly looked forward to every new one he has brought out. I was particularly interested in this, his latest offering Run Away, as it is a standalone thriller about a father in search of his runaway daughter, who has gone missing after her boyfriend has been found viciously murdered.
As a parent myself, I fully engaged with the dad, Simon Greene as he struggled to come to terms with his once intelligent and smart minded daughter Paige, becoming a troubled junkie and now on the run. Of course, no sooner does Simon start to make enquiries as to where Paige is, when he and his wife are embroiled in the world of drug dealers, DNA websites, a religious cult and hired assassins. Typical Coben style, there's shocks, twists and turns a plenty and I loved the nod to his Bolitar series, with the inclusion of ruthless litigator Hester Crimstein and her sharp words and love of being in the media spotlight.
As usual, there's subtle humour in the dialogue and together with plenty of action, this makes for a very entertaining and enjoyable thriller. There are a few threads running through the story that are connected and the denouement links them all perfectly. The ending was unexpected and very clever and I was disappointed when the story ended as I could have kept on reading for much longer.

A thriller, full of twists and turns, that follows a father's attempt to find his drug-addicted daughter.
It's a long time since I read a novel by Harlen Coben, but I do remember that I always enjoyed the experience. So, I approached Run Away with pleasurable anticipation!
The author tells the story of the Greene family and the search for the eldest daughter, Paige. Coming from a privileged background, Simon and Ingrid Greene are having to cope with the fact that Paige has left this lifestyle and her family behind. She is living with an abusive and drug-addicted man and has become an addict herself. After finding her busking in Central Park, Simon is hopeful that he can rescue her from the life she is leading, but his plans go awry and Paige runs away. When Paige's boyfriend is murdered, the Greenes go in search of their daughter once again, with even more catastrophic consequences.
There are several storylines in this novel and several interesting characters. The author interweaves these plotlines skilfully with a final resolution in which they come together. I thoroughly enjoyed this thriller, with its fast pace and twists and turns. There is an authenticity to the anguish felt by Simon Greene and many readers will be able to identify with the anxiety and guilt that he felt over his daughter 's downward spiral.
All in all, an exciting and intriguing thriller and one I thoroughly recommend.

Bonnie and Clyde meets Taken, a thriller guaranteed to keep you guessing to the end.
Oh my, well that kept me up all night! What a great read, great characters, great plot, great twists, a complete guessing game. You have a man trying to reconnect with his drug reliant daughter, you have a Bonnie and Clyde type couple travelling around the country getting up to all types of mischief, you have a seemingly unconnected series of unexplained deaths and then you have the questioning mind of P.I. extraordinaire Ramirez on the case trying to unravel it all.
I loved the nods to Coben's earlier works and I feel Elena Ramirez could have a whole series of titles based around her.
I had a quibble with continuity at one point which was dealt with but rather after the fact, apart from that if you what a thriller to keep you reading through the night, then this fits the bill.

Paradise Town Council held an emergency meeting open to the public to address updates on disaster recovery, repopulation of the town, finances and PG&E progress.
The Paradise Town Council met on Tuesday night in the Chico City Council chambers to inform the public on its potential re-entry plans into town, its efforts for disaster recovery, the financial planning, PG&E's effort to restore gas and power, the school district's plan for students to return and PID's plan to turn off water services to its customers.
Paradise Police Department Chief Eric Reinbold addressed the council on the repopulation plan and said they are concentrating efforts in the southern and eastern zones.

There should be a 24-hour period for residents only that has yet to be determined he commented.
Reinbold could not speak to the timeline of when other zones will be open but he did say each entity that is working on getting the southern and eastern zones open.
Paradise Town Manager Lauren Gill addressed the status of properties within town and told council that before debris removal crews can go on a residents property,the state will a right of entry form filled out by the homeowner.
She also told the council that staff is working on ordinance that she said, if approved by council, will not allow residents to live on their properties until the debris removal and ash is gone.
Paradise Town Engineer and Public Works Director Marc Mattox spoke in front of the town council. He discussed on the branches of the Disaster Recovery Operations Center.
"The first branch of the DROC is a short to medium-term health and services going to focus on areas and resources related to immediate needs of residents, humans and animals," Mattox said. "This branch is thriving and moving forward as a disaster recovery center, schools, animal repair shelters and family repair shelters and family support center.
"Long-term and short-term is environment and land use and that branch is in it for the long haul." Short-term is aiming at watershed.We have a storm come in already and DROC had a role in that he said.
Mattox said that he is confident those resources are working together to put on a mission.
PG&E's base camp has the facility to house, shower and feed 2400 people according to Paradise Town Vice Mayor Greg Bolin.
"In Paradise we have 3,200-3,300 people working every day out there in Paradise with putting up poles, taking down trees and putting up the lines," Bolin said.
Bolin said that he expected that PG&E would have engineering done by Friday would know ow to re-energize the town. He said the company was focused on existing structures and were going to target those 1,700 structures in town first with power.
Gas is a big issue as well, Bolin said, noting the company might have to bring some CNG (compressed natural gas) towers in to help energize gas in the town he added, but they are working through those issues.
At the regularly scheduled meeting Dec. 11 PG&E will give an update and at that time, when they will have finished their engineering and be able to tell us what their plan is Jones said.
Paradise Town Treasurer Gina Will gave updated information on the town's financial status.
"We received a $1.5 million advance on damages for our facilities and content that have been destroyed as a result of the fire," she said.
The town is working with their insurance to find out how much will be covered she noted. There is a $5,000 deductible on that particular policy she added.
"In regards to vehicles and equipment our preliminary assessment are indicating about 15 to 20 vehicles and equipment damaged as a result of the fire," Will stated." The town received a $5,000 deductible for each vehicle.
The next phase the town will be undergoing is debris removal and that includes trees and materials that are a threat to public safety.
"Debris removal is the most expensive project on our current project list and Cal OES and FEMA are agreeing help us with some of those cost matching issues and also cash flow issues on these projects." In addition to that road repairs need to be completed she said, which the town is evaluating.
The town's federal paved roads are cleaning through CalTrans. The other roads will be cleaned through CAL OES and FEMA she noted. The town is evaluating the damage and work that needs to be done on the roads.
Cal OES and FEMA has assured the town that they will work with the town to provide cash flow mechanisms for these projects.
"We signed a cash advance on our project cost list."The property taxes for 2018-19 is that the town is tiered with the county she commented. Related to cost recovery services Ernst & Young will be coming in on a pro bono basis.
The town partnering with local, state and federal agencies had set a meeting for Thursday at 7 p.m. to give an update on the search and recovery efforts and to discuss available resources. But that meeting set to be held Thursday night at Pleasant Valley High School's Performing Arts Center was cancelled due to flash flood warnings through out the county.

3. Why Is This Important?
A square quilt is a quilt that has squares instead of circles or triangles in its design. There are different kinds of square quilts such as the European and the American style. These two types of square quilts have different designs. In the European style, the squares are generally large and in the American style, the squares are smaller and more detailed. You can make quilts with any kind of style.
1. Take a quilt top, and fold it into four equal sections. Use the fold line as the center line for your quilt.
2. Place one of the sections over the middle of the center line. Lay the section on top of the center line so that the edge of the section is aligned with the edge of the center line. Press the seam allowances toward the center line.
3. Next, take the next section and place it over the middle of the center line. Continue pressing the seam allowances toward the center line until you have pressed all four sections.
4. You will now have four pieced sections that have been folded and pressed to form four equal sections.
The first step of making a square quilt is to cut out all the pieces needed. You will need a square quilt kit, which includes the fabric and all the other supplies you need to make the quilt. You should start by putting the pieces together.
Before you start sewing, you should be sure that you know how to sew a straight line. You may also need to learn how to make a perfect piecing stitch. Once you have the right materials and you know how to sew a straight line, you can start sewing.
The first step is to fold the edge of your fabric inward. Then you should lay the fabric on a flat surface and sew along the edge.
This is an easy method of quilting. You don't need to know how to sew very well. As long as you have the right supplies, this will help you to create a beautiful quilt top. This is one of the easiest methods of making quilts. When you are ready to make a quilt top, you should first prepare the fabric. The first step is to cut the fabric.
After you have cut the fabric, you should put the pieces together. You should make sure that you match the fabrics to each other correctly. If you are going to make a quilt with a patchwork design, you will need to use a variety of fabrics to create a pleasing pattern.

1. What is the easiest way to square up a quilt?
A quilt is basically a bed sheet. It is very convenient to quilt because it doesn't have to be taken out of bed. It's also very convenient because you can just throw it in the washing machine. It is easier to do the finishing of a quilt than to sew one.
2. How do you square a quilt top before borders?
You should learn how to square up a quilt top before you do the finishing of the borders. You can do it yourself by following a method that has been developed over the years. One of the methods that work best is the method called the "super easy" method.
This method has been published in a book called "The Best Quilts Ever" by Barbara Brannon. It will tell you the basic steps to follow. You can follow the instructions exactly as they are written. However, you may have to modify them a bit. You will need some tools that you probably already have. The best tools to use are a ruler and a rotary cutter. You can do the cutting using the rotary cutter.
3. How do you square a fabric for beginners?
The first step is to make sure that your fabric is folded in half horizontally. Next, take a strip of the fabric that is 1/16th of an inch wider than your finished quilt. Cut it into four equal pieces. Now, place a ruler along one edge. With your rotary cutter, carefully cut a 45-degree angle in the fabric.
You can make sure that you are cutting perfectly with a pair of safety scissors. You should also check the fabric against the ruler to make sure that you didn't make a mistake. After you have cut all of the corners, use the ruler to straighten the fabric. You should do this by putting the ruler under the fabric and pressing it flat with your hands.
4. How do you make a quilt top square?
To square a quilt top, you need to cut your fabric into four equal pieces. Then, you need to place a straightedge along one edge of the fabric. With your rotary cutter, carefully cut a 45-degree angle in the fabric. You can do this with a pair of safety scissors. Make sure that you cut the fabric exactly where it says 45 degrees.
After you have made all of the cuts, use the straightedge to straighten the fabric. Make sure that you are pressing the straightedge against the fabric. Use your hands to make sure that you don't make a mistake. You should do this by placing the straightedge under the fabric and pressing it flat.

Preview: Rockstar Energy Disrupt Festival
White River Amphitheater, Auburn, WA
Coming into 2019, the Summer was looking bleak for the punk rock summer festival scene. 2018 was the last year of Warped Tour's countrywide tour, and there are few alternatives in the genre. What festival was there to look forward to for Summer 2019? Enter the Rockstar Disrupt Festival.
Set to be a brand new music experience bringing some of the biggest rock acts and rising stars around the country this summer, the Washington date includes The Used, Thrice, Circa Survive, Sum 41, Atreyu, Sleeping With Sirens, Andy Black, Four Year Strong, Memphis May Fire, Juliet Simms, and Hyro The Hero.

Unlike other music festivals, fans won't have to worry about conflicting set times and missing their favorite band because only one band will play at a time. Meaning you get to see each and every band on the bill. The first part of the festival will be played outside under the sun with surrounding activities and then transition into an amphitheater allowing for larger production and immersive concert experience for the final five bands of the day.

Avi Shlaim
Penguin Adult, 27/11/2008 - 697 من الصفحات
Avi Shlaim's Lion of Jordan: The Life of King Hussein in War and Peace is the first major account one of the most important figures in the turbulent history of the Middle East. Peace-broker, statesman, charismatic ruler and master of realpolitik, Hussein of Jordan was one of the dominant figures in Middle Eastern politics, its most continuous presence, and one of the most consistent proponents of peace with Israel. For over forty years he was at the eye of the storm in the region, constantly negotiating between the Arab world and the Israelis, guiding his country through conflict, surviving assassination attempts and trying to fulfill his lifelong quest for peace and the survival of his dynasty. This is the first major account of Hussein's remarkable dialogue across the battle lines, and of his covert meetings with Israeli leaders. Drawing on extensive archival sources and on unprecedented interviews with Hussein, his family, and confidants, it reveals a titanic leader and a courageous man. 'A thrilling, masterful biography'
Simon Sebag-Montefiore, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year 'The most comprehensive biography of the "plucky little king"'
Anton La Guardia, Literary Review 'A nuanced portrait of Jordan's late King Hussein ... salutes Hussein's extraordinary physical and moral courage'

Granite Noir: Children's Detective Adventures
Granite Noir: Children's Detective Adventures
Maz Evans' Vi is out to save the world, again! Alice Eclair is a baker by day and France's youngest spy by night in Sarah Todd Taylor's latest book. Fun, frolics and fancies galore as we chat to these two brilliant authors and get to know their brave and intrepid young investigators.
Chaired by Amy Liptrott
Sarah Todd Taylor
Sarah is a children's writer living in beautiful mid Wales. Her first book, Arthur and Me, won the Firefly Children's Book Competition 2014 and was a result of her love of history and of the amazing legends that she used to read, growing up as a child in Wales.
Sarah loves cats and puzzles and the theatre, three things that made their way into her Max the Detective Cat series which is published by Nosy Crow.
She longed to write a mystery series set in a theatre and once she got thinking about the cats that keep theatres free from mice, Max was born, a clever cat who lives in a London theatre and, when not chasing mice away from nibbling the velvet cushions, solves dastardly crimes.
Sarah was thrilled when she was given the chance to write another series for Nosy Crow and after visiting the fascinating Bletchley Park she just had to write a spy series, with more puzzles and with lots of codes thrown in. Writing about cake was a lot of fun too.
She has also had short stories in various anthologies and newspapers and a monologue on Radio 5.
Maz Evans
Still unsure how it happened, Maz Evans is apparently the author of the bestselling Who Let the Gods Out?, Vi Spy and Scarlett Fife series, which have collectively sold over half a million copies to 22 countries worldwide. They have received over 30 award nominations, including the Carnegie Medal, Branford Boase, Books Are My Bag, Waterstone's Children's Book of the Year, Indie Children's Book of the Year and CrimeFest Best Children's Book. She narrates the audiobooks for the series and her acclaimed live events have featured at Hay, Imagine, Edinburgh, Bath, Cheltenham, Bestival, Wilderness, CarFest and countless literary festivals and primary schools around the UK.
Maz has contributed to RETURN TO WONDERLAND, THE BOOK OF HOPES and SWALLOWED BY A WHALE and her children's poetry has been published in Caterpillar magazine. Her career began as a TV journalist, writing for The Daily Telegraph and TV Times magazine and she still regularly broadcasts her views on anything from politics to parenthood on BBC Radio 2 and the bus.
As a scriptwriter, her original musical H. R. HAITCH (with composer Luke Bateman) was produced at the Union Theatre, London in 2018. She has previously had shows produced at the Actors' Church Covent Garden, Southend Palace Theatre and Bryanston Arts Centre and she was awarded places in the Holby City and Casualty BBC Shadow schemes.
As a songwriter, Maz won the Iris Theatre songwriting award three years in succession (with Luke Bateman) and her cabaret songs are regularly performed in the West End and beyond. As an author, she has won the hearts of thousands of children and as a nuclear physicist, she has frankly been completely rubbish.

Home Beauty	Nereus London: it's the do-good, feel-good factor
Nereus London: it's the do-good, feel-good factor
written by angelinavc October 14, 2020
I've totally ramped up my morning ritual with this uplifting Madagascan Pink Pepper Body Wash, £25, from new sustainable beauty brand Nereus London.
Recreating an aromatherapeutic spa experience in your bathroom, the luxury wash fills your senses with the enticing scent – spicy pink pepper blended with fresh ginger essential oils (made with 100% natural fragrances).
It's nothing short of intoxicating – bringing positive vibes all the way. What's more, the rich texture is also deeply moisturising, so that skin feels soft and velvety-smooth afterwards. Turns out, that the body washes are formulated with a blend of amino acids, specially blended to hydrate the skin and boost hyaluronic acid production. Not just a pretty face.
While the washes undoubtedly feel good, Nereus London's ethos also does good. Sustainable at its heart, all the ingredients are ethically-sourced and are 100% natural and organic. Meanwhile, formulas are paraben-free, sulphate-fee, silicone-free and gluten-free and suitable for vegan use. As well as a range of body-care products, the brand also offers hair-care products and delves deep across the collection to honour the 'conscious' approach found at its core.
The deluxe packaging, for instance, is plastic-free with the products found in chic aluminium, 100% BPA-free bottles, which are recyclable. Over time, the specially designed wood pulp labels will also decompose, helping to ease the recycling process. In fact, Nereus uses less than 1% plastic in its entire supply chain.
Founded by James Inglesby and Diana Ziegler, the brand was born out of a need for genuinely sustainable luxury beauty products. "The Nereus London range came to fruition when we realised just how harmful other 'black plastic bottles' products were to the environment," says James. "Many people assume that black plastic bottles, containers and plastic jars are recyclable, but this is rarely the case. We had also become frustrated when trying to find natural products that actually worked and delivered a decent fragrance. Surely there must be products out there that can be luxurious and sustainable? Not until now, that is."
The company has also formed a partnership with Plastic Bank, a social enterprise working to create a circular plastic economy and aiding countries hit by the plastic crisis. What's more, for every Nereus product purchased, 1kg of ocean-bound plastic will be recovered from the areas worst affected by the plastic crisis.
It's good. Really good.

There's a lot to like about the state of Vermont: cheddar cheese, Chubby Hubby, maple syrup, and the Green Mountains. And now, a thorough rejection of corporate personhood.
Yesterday, in what the Associated Press called "the most concerted effort" to amend the U.S. Constitution to declare that corporations are not people, 58 Vermont communities voted in support of an amendment that would overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision. Vermont's 58 towns join cities including Portland, Maine, New York, and Los Angeles in passing measures repudiating Citizens United.
The calls for reform in Vermont represent, "the broadest grassroots uprising yet against the Citizens United ruling," observed journalist John Nichols, speaking on Democracy Now yesterday.
"People are starting to put the pieces together; they're all doing it all at the same time, all across the country," said Bill Butler, of Jericho, who helped write the proposal being considered by many Vermont towns.
Citizens United is one of a series of decisions and laws that have paved the way for corporations, unions, and people to raise and spend unlimited campaign funds via super PACs.

Q: In function call, why parse statement get executed atlast in SWIFT? I am begining to SWIFT. I have tried following code to check how function call is working. Function call is working fine, as our wish. But, in PARSE, the order is not working in the parse statement. Parse statement get executed atlas when all function gets over. How to solve this.
if I run this code, I am getting output like,
MY OUTPUT:
START
FIRST CLASS TOP
FIRST CLASS BOTTOM
SECOND CLASS
THIRD CLASS
END
WELCOME TO PARSE  // WHY THIS LINE IS PRINTING LAST??

But, I need output like,
REQUIRED OUTPUT:
START
FIRST CLASS TOP
WELCOME TO PARSE     //I NEED THIS LINE TO BE EXECUTE IN ORDER.
FIRST CLASS BOTTOM
SECOND CLASS
THIRD CLASS
END

MY CODING IS BELOW. Kindly check and guide me.
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let one_1 = class_1()
    let second_2 = class_2()
    let third_3 = class_3()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        println("START")

        one_1.one()
        second_2.second()
        third_3.third()

        println("END")

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

}
//CLASS_1

class class_1 {

    var par_query = PFQuery(className: "story")

    func one() {
        println("FIRST CLASS TOP")

        par_query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({(NSArray objects, NSError error) in

            if (error != nil) {
                NSLog("error " + error.localizedDescription)
            }
            else {
                println("WELCOME TO PARSE")

            }//ELSE ENDING

        }) //PARSE ENDING

        println("FIRST CLASS BOTTOM")
    }
}

//CLASS_2
class class_2 {

    func second() {
        println("SECOND CLASS")
    }
}
//CLASS_3
class class_3 {

    func third() {
        println("THIRD CLASS")
    }
}

A: It has nothing to do with parse.com in particular, it behaves that way because findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock is executed asynchronously.
You can read about that here.
UPDATED:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0)) {
    //Do some time comsuming calculation
    //And when it's done
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
        //Update the UI with your results
    }
}

UPDATED 2
Let me put it that way: if you print anything, like "WELCOME TO PARSE" in an asynch closure, you cannot determine when it will be executed. I will mark with an * that where can be the "WELCOME TO PARSE" message with your current code:
START
FIRST CLASS TOP
FIRST CLASS BOTTOM
*
SECOND CLASS
*
THIRD CLASS
*
END
*
If you want to print the exact lines as you want, you could do two things:

*

*Do not put a println in the asynch block

*Put "FIRST CLASS BOTTOM" in your asynch block, and put also
class_2().second()
class_3().third()

in the asych block, so that will be called after the block is executed. However, I do not recommend this, it's just for the example.

The Great Gatsby Analysis
F. Scott Fitzgerald composed many books and stories for the duration of his life. His style of composing resembled no other. One of his most celebrated was "The Great Gatsby" which was around two individuals speaking to the two sides of Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby. He additionally composed another book "Delicate is the Night" which is about his encounters with his significant other while she endured constant mental breakdowns, most occurrence all of a sudden. The greater part of his stories and books were histories of himself and his life and in other term purposeful anecdotes. Likewise there are tremendous changes in his written work all through history. His stories and books go from glad topics, loaded with moving, drinking, and wealth, to calm subjects investigating development, lament, and misery. In conclusion, knowing Fitzgerald is a writer from the Jazz Age, he was impacted to expound on adoration.
Above all else, amid his prior years and later years as an author, he composed many books, two of them being "The Great Gatsby" and "Delicate is the Night". Others like these were additionally connected with his life. In the Great Gatsby, as I specified, Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby speak to two sides of Fitzgerald. Gatsby is the side that is the guileless Midwesterner that is stunned by the potential outcomes of the "American Dream" while Carraway is the sympathetic Princeton refined man that inquiries all that. Additionally, the book "Delicate is the Night"
Although the timeline is kept vague in The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald makes it clear that his work of art is based in the early 1920's between World War I and the Prohibition. This was a transitional period in the United States. America changed after the war and as a result, so did life. The idea of the perfect life fluctuated as troops began flooding back to the United States, migrating to cities, picking up jobs, and buying houses for their new or planned families. The economy was booming

In it's simplest form The Great Gatsby represents America.

All of these characterizations are traits that fit both the Great Gatsby and modern day America. Although it can be hard now
F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, features a character whose own inventions and recreation of the past and rumors that surround his name become the driving force of the novel.

Study reveals inaccessibility of paid leave for low-income workers
Hope King, author of Closer
About two-thirds of service-sector workers said they could not take leave, or took less leave than they wanted, when they experienced a major life event, according to a Harvard and UC San Francisco study released today. Within this group, 71% said the reason was they couldn't afford to.
Why it matters: Part of President Biden's American Families Plan provides 12 weeks of guaranteed paid family and sick leave to workers, marking the first time that a U.S. president has introduced a national-level paid leave program.
By the numbers: The study, which Axios is first to report, shows exactly how difficult it was for low-income workers to think about taking time off in the fall of 2020 — whether for a personal medical need, caregiving, new child or a combination of qualifying events.
Men (38%) were more likely than women (28%) to say they didn't take leave or as much as they would have liked to out of fear that they would lose their jobs.
Hispanic workers (53%) and Black workers (49%) were the most likely to say they felt pressure to avoid taking time off or fear job loss compared with white workers (39%).
The survey covered 8,500 of those who worked for 85 of the largest companies across retail, grocery, delivery and fulfillment and food service, including Walmart, Target and Starbucks.
The median wage of workers surveyed was $12.75 per hour.
What they're saying: The study is among the first to document the extent to which paid leave is inaccessible among front-line low-wage workers, researchers Elaine Zundl, Julia Goodman and Daniel Schneider tell Axios.
The bottom line: Making the case for paid leave, financially fragile workers "are serving food and going hungry," Schneider says.

Activision hit with labor complaint
"Call of Duty: Vanguard." Image: Activison
A union supporting workers at Activision Blizzard has filed an unfair labor practice complaint to the National Labor Relations Board, alleging the game company has "repeatedly engaged in unlawful conduct" against workers fighting against working conditions at the game maker.
Why it matters: It's another log on the fire. Activision is already facing an anti-discrimination lawsuit from the state of California, has seen workers hold a walkout and been slammed by activist shareholders for an "inadequate" response.


Our second BrewView for the January 2015 BREWERY OF THE MONTH feature is for UNIBROUE'S NOIRE DE CHAMBLY (Black of Chambly / Chambly Black) Belgian-style Black ale. This was made possible by very special arrangement from Master Brewer Jerry Vietz.
We were very privileged to get our hands on a bottle and get the chance to taste this beer just before it makes its debut on draft for the US market in February 2015.
UNIBROUE has several beers they call "LIVING LEGENDS", where the labels tell the stories of historical events that shaped the region of Québec, Canada.
New France (French: Nouvelle-France) was the area colonized by France in North America during a period beginning with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France to Spain and Great Britain in 1763. At its peak in 1712 (before the Treaty of Utrecht), the territory of New France, also sometimes known as the French North American Empire or Royal New France, extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
The territory was divided into five colonies, each with its own administration: Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland (Plaisance), and Louisiana. The Treaty of Utrecht resulted in the relinquishing of French claims to mainland Acadia, the Hudson Bay and Newfoundland, and the establishment of the colony of Île Royale (Cape Breton Island) as the successor to Acadia.
France ceded the rest of New France, except the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, to Great Britain and Spain at the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years' War (the French and Indian War). Britain received the lands east of the Mississippi River that lay between the Thirteen Colonies and Louisiana, which included Canada, Acadia, and parts of Louisiana, while Spain received the territory to the west – the larger portion of Louisiana. Spain returned its portion of Louisiana to France in 1800 under the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso, but French leader Napoleon Bonaparte sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, permanently ending French colonial efforts on the North American mainland.
Champlain allied himself as soon as possible with the Algonquin and Montagnais peoples in the area, who were at war with the Iroquois. In 1609, Champlain, along with two other French companions, accompanied by his Algonquin, Montagnais and Huron allies, travelled south from the St. Lawrence valley to Lake Champlain, where he participated decisively in a battle against the Iroquois, killing two Iroquois chiefs with the first shot of his Arquebus. This military engagement against the Iroquois solidified the position of Champlain with New France's Huron and Algonquin allies, bonds vital to New France in order to keep the fur trade alive.
For the better part of a century the Iroquois and French clashed in a series of attacks and reprisals. He also arranged to have young French men live with the natives, to learn their language and customs and help the French adapt to life in North America. These men, known as coureurs des bois (runners of the woods) (such as Étienne Brûlé), extended French influence south and west to the Great Lakes and among the Huron tribes who lived there.
For the first few decades of the colony's existence, the French population numbered only a few hundred, while the English colonies to the south were much more populous and wealthy. Cardinal Richelieu, adviser to Louis XIII, wished to make New France as significant as the English colonies. In 1627, Richelieu founded the Company of One Hundred Associates to invest in New France, promising land parcels to hundreds of new settlers and to turn Canada into an important mercantile and farming colony.
In 1650, New France had seven hundred colonists and Montreal had only a few dozen settlers. Because Indians did most of the work of beaver hunting, the company needed few French employees. The severely underpopulated New France almost fell completely to hostile Iroquois forces. In 1660, settler Adam Dollard des Ormeaux led a Canadian and Huron militia against a much larger Iroquois force; none of the Canadians survived, but they succeeded in turning back the Iroquois invasion. In 1627, Quebec had only eighty-five French colonists and was easily overwhelmed two years later when three English privateers plundered the settlement. In 1663, New France finally became more secure when Louis XIV made it a royal province, taking control away from the Company of One Hundred Associates. In the same year the Société Notre-Dame de Montréal ceded its possessions to the Seminaire de Saint-Sulpice. The crown stimulated emigration to New France by paying for transatlantic passages and offering other incentives to those willing to move, and the population of New France grew to three thousand.
The 1666 census of New France was conducted by France's intendant, Jean Talon, in the winter of 1665–66. It showed a population of 3,215 habitants in New France, many more than there had been only a few decades earlier, but also a great difference in the number of men (2,034) and women (1,181).
The regiment's service in New France began when a third of them were ordered to build new forts along the Richelieu River, the principal route of the Iroquois marauders. Fort Chambly formerly known as Fort St. Louis at Chambly, Fort Sainte Thérèse, and Fort Saint-Jean at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, were along the Richelieu River and were constructed as ways to limit Iroquois nation attacks on citizens of New France. Fort Sainte Anne in Lake Champlain was near the river's source. All of the forts were used as supply stations for the troops as they were deployed on their two campaigns into Iroquois nation land in 1666.
After minor repairs, the fort was burned by the Indians in 1702, but was reconstructed in 1702. By then it was already known as Fort Chambly. However with the Great Peace of Montreal in 1701, the war between the French and Iroquois was over. Also at this time the War of the Spanish Succession broke out, and boiled over into the colonies of France and England. Thus, to defend against a more powerful European attack, including the threat of cannons, Governor Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil ordered that the fort be rebuilt in stone in 1709-1711.
NOIRE DE CHAMBLY was first brewed by Unibroue in 2005 in the memory of those brave soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment. The principal goal of brewing this beer was to extend the "Chambly" family of beers and to continue the Chambly story. The first "Chambly" beer was also the brewery's first beer in 1991-1992: Blanche de Chambly. The beer launched a brewing revolution being the first Belgian-style ale brewed in North America.
This dark ale was created in honor of the brave soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment, with their famous black musketeer hats. In 1665, King Louis XIV sent the regiment to New France to defend against the Iroquois. He had a number of strategic forts, including Fort Chambly, built along the Richelieu River, which led to the legendary Iroquois peace of 1667, ensuring prosperity for the colony.
Officers and soldiers were encouraged by the King to stay. A number of them married Filles du Roi (Kings daughters) and raised families. Many French Canadians are the direct descendants of these intrepid forebears.
Noire de Chambly has an opaque black color with a beige-colored foam. Its roasted malt character is complemented by spicy, mildly smoky notes and surprisingly clean dry finish.
6.2% ABV. We poured it at 45°F in the signature Unibroue tulip-shaped taster glass. Pours a very dark mahogany / dark brown color. It easily poured a voluminous, light beige colored, dense, rocky, creamy 3 1/2 – finger head with large and small bubbles. Excellent head retention- before we even took the first sip, the head hardly collapsed. After about 9 minutes into drinking, it still held almost a 1/2 inch head. Rim color variation- to medium brown.
Immediately, you get notes of spice and smokiness, some coffee bean nuttiness from the roasted malts. There is a gentle backbone of herbs, and unsweetened dark baker's chocolate. In the background, the yeast also adds to the bouquet, but in a way that smells like fresh baked, home made dark pumpernickel rye bread. After about 10 minutes, the coffee notes express themselves more.
We found Noire de Chambly to immediately express a nice roasted malt character right off the bat. The spice notes we detected were star anise, faint peppercorn, with dark chocolate.
The mouthfeel of THIS Belgian-style Black ale is what sets it apart from many other beers of the same style. Master Brewer Jerry Vietz puts his signature effervescent sparkle in it, but not overly so- it is delicate; appropriate for the style. It hits the sides and the back of the tongue upon swallowing. Light to medium bodied, the finish is very smooth as Jerry has said. The aftertaste is very light smoke, deep malt, and faint walnut, which all linger at the back of the throat. Because of the effervescence level, it gives your mouth a "fuller" feel than what the beer actually is.
APPETIZERS: Smoked or washed rind chesses, charcuterie platter with nice smoked meats. Smoked nuts such as almonds, cashews would pair nicely too.
ENTRÈES: Fish and seafood- smoked salmon, monkfish, flounder, lobster, oysters, clams. Coquilles St. Jacques with fresh bay scallops. Poultry and game. There is a Rabbit pot roast recipe at Unibroue's website that uses NOIRE DE CHAMBLY to cook with.
DESSERTS: A wide range of chocolate desserts, or simply pieces of high quality dark chocolate- try finding chocolate that has been smoked over alder wood! Unibroue's website has a recipe for crème brûlée using Noire de Chambly.
NOIRE DE CHAMBLY is incredibly smooth and easy to drink, which makes it a great introduction to dark beers. Yet the flavors are complex enough to please the most experienced beer drinker.
At only 6.2% ABV, NOIRE DE CHAMBLY is the dark beer in Unibroue's portfolio with the lowest alcohol content, making it a very sessionable beer. We feel it sets itself apart from the other Belgian-style Black ales on the market.
NOIRE DE CHAMBLY will be available in the United States in February 2015 on draft only. Needless to say, this is another must have from Unibroue! Buy several bottles- enjoy it when you purchase it, and cellar some bottles. This beer can be aged from 2 – 5 years, (possibly longer) if cellared properly. Store bottles upright in a cool dark place at a stable temperature between 46ºF and 61ºF.
Huge thanks go out to the following individuals for making this BrewView possible: (In chronological order as we created business associations with them) Martine Geoffrion of DDMG Communications in Québec, Canada for initially contacting us, Andrew Murphy of Unibroue in Portland, Oregon (for sending us samples of this excellent beer), and of course, Unibroue's Master Brewer Jerry Vietz for generously giving of his time and insight!

Q: Is there a way to extend wagtail's draftail with an entity that generates random numbers on page access? I am extending the wagtail rich text editor, draftail. I want to give the user the ability to insert a $RANDOM entity.
The site has a global option to set the random interval, let's call these random_start and random_end. These values are stored in the database.
When the $RANDOM entity is used, I would like the visited page to display a random number between random_start and random_end.
My current attempt allows me to generate the random number but the generation happens only when the page is published, not accessed. All subsequent page visits show the same number.
Previously (before switching to wagtail) the Django code was simple.
Do the following in page view code:

*

*get random_start

*get random_end

*generate random number between them

*pass generated number to the template

My current 'incomplete' solution is based of http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.5.1/advanced_topics/customisation/extending_draftail.html#creating-new-entities.
By modifying stock_entity_decorator, I get my current code.
def stock_entity_decorator(props):
    """
    Draft.js ContentState to database HTML.
    Converts the STOCK entities into a span tag.
    """

    return DOM.create_element('span', {
        'data-stock': props['stock'],
    }, str(random.randint(random_start, random_end)))

Both, random_start and random_end are values which can change in the database.
I know I can use JavaScript to calculate the number client side. But I am hoping a solution exists which avoids client side calculation as that would introduce other problems.
Update
I had simplified the use case a little bit. The random number is not completely random, it is based of a few parameters which should preferably remain secret. Doing the calculation client side would imply disclosing these values.
I thought about setting up a RESTful endpoint and using client-side JavaScript to get the values that way.
For this project I am not concerned with caching and can disable it for the required pages.

A: You don't need to extend Draftail.  Override the get_context() method of your Page-based model:
YourPage(Page):

    def get_context(self, request):
        context = super().get_context(request)
        context['random_number'] = your_random_number_function()

        return context

The Pickles bought a tract of land containing an apartment building from the Messerlys with the intention of using the land for rental income.
Before the Messerlys owned the property, the previous owner installed a septic tank without a permit and in violation of the health code. Neither the Messerlys or the Pickles knew anything about this.
The contract contained an "as is" clause.
After the sale, the Pickles noticed raw sewage on the ground. The health board condemned the land.
The Pickles sought rescission of the contract under mutual mistake and misrepresentation. The Messerlys sued for foreclosure.
Lower court found Pickles had no cause of action, foreclosure ordered against the Pickles.
Court of Appeals reversed, found the Pickles did have a cause of action.
MI Supreme Court reversed, found the Pickles had no cause of action, foreclosure ordered against the Pickles.
How should a court decide cases of mistake between two equally innocent parties?
In cases of mistake by two equally innocent parties, the court should determine which blameless party should assume the loss resulting from the misapprehension they shared.
The parties in this case were laboring under a mutual mistake of fact which materially affected the essence of the contractual consideration.
The best approach to decide cases of mutual mistake is by the courts doing case-by-case analysis whereby rescission is indicated when the mistaken belief relates to a basic assumption of the parties upon which the contract is made.
A court need not grant rescission in every case in which the mutual mistake relates to a basic assumption and materially affects the agreed performance of the parties.
Rescission is not available, however, to relieve a party who has assumed the risk of loss in connection with the mistake.
The court should look to whether the parties have agreed to the allocation of the risk between themselves. Through the "as is" clause, the risk was allocated to the buyers.
Prof thinks this decision is bunk.

Acoustic Research M20 delivers 10 to 20 times the power output of hi-res players from the likes of Astell & Kern and Sony, in an effort to deliver better performance with high-end headphones.
The player uses an Android OS with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor offering Wi-Fi access and web browsing. There's a new DAC, the 32-bit, 384kHz Texas Instruments PCM5242 instead of the PCM1794A found on the more expensive player, but it supports the same hi-res audio formats as its predecessor including PCM and DSD. The ALPS potentiometer volume dial on the top right of the M2 has been removed saving costs via use of the standard volume adjustment buttons instead found on the side.


How bad is the box? Post up some pics. I have one cut apart right now (work in slow progress..very slow) if you need any pics. I removed the sub box for replacement by cutting the fender. Wasn't that hard (or that easy) to get the box out and the car is on a rotisserie. Would think it will be especially hard working from inside the car.
You generally have to cut the wing as the sill goes behind it and rots. It also provides best access to do the mounting boxs accurarely and strong.
Okay so didn't do anything with the car yesterday but spent all day today working on it. Made supports and got the car leveled with enough room to get under and work. Need to add one more somewhere on the passenger side where the sill will be cut..
Chipping away bondo revealed more metal than I expected. Why the hell would you bondo this when you could just patch it? Really not as bad as I was expecting.
Anyway, no additional work done on that part of the vehicle today. Going to try and tackle it over the next few weeks though. Onto the small patch I got done today.
After cutting out this square I was able to save the seatbelt mount.
Made a cardboard pattern, then transferred to metal. I wasn't sure the best way to get the correct radius so I just heated the patch up glowing red and forced it into the radius of the metal nearby; this worked very well! The metal blew through on me a couple times and I had to spend some time building material back up. I'm not used to welding 1mm thick sheet steel.
Here's the patch welded out with some of the grinding work done.. Going to grind them flush and then drill the hole for the seatbelt mount and get that tacked in. Need to think about order of operations there to make sure it's rust proofed where the metal is sandwiched together.
Try a sharp chisel or a 2" paint scraper or similar..works great to get most off then a solvent for the rest.
An electric paint stripper gun works well, but not terribly quickly. You don't have to melt the undercoat, just loosen it up and take it off with the scrapper blade.
HERE are many pictures from the restauration of a Fulvia coupé 1.3.
The pictures are NOT mine and it is NOT my car.
Maybe the pictures can come in handy for some. If not ... better safe than sorry.
Whoaw, respect, this Alwin-guy has got a lot of patience!
I hope in reality, after all that work, his seats aren't as pink as in the pictures.

Q: OData, Collections and how to use Any I've inherited some code and does stuff with OData and I've spent some time on it to no avail so now I need some help please
I have a database that has a table called Client and another with ClientContacts
What I need to be able to do is using OData, get a list of clients what have a contact first name that contains 'Chris'
This is what I tried to start with but obviously this won't work as client contracts are a collection
localhost:55992/api/ClientApi/GetAllClients?$expand=ClientContacts,Client&$filter=substringof('',ClientName) and substringof('Chris',ClientContacts/ContactFirstName)&$top=20&$skip=0&$inlinecount=allpages
It gives me the following exception
"The parent value for a property access of a property 'ContactFirstName' is not a single value. Property access can only be applied to a single value."
I think I need to use the Any command but I can't for the life of me figure out, any help will be much appreciated

A: The syntax for using a filter with the any operator looks like this:
$filter=ClientContacts/any(contact: substringof('Chris',contact/ContactFirstName))

Women's Print HERstory Month Returns in March
'Women's Print HERstory Month' coincides with Women's History Month to align the telling of stories that empower and inspire the fierce fabulous females of print, as well as young women and students entering the industry or considering print as a career. Launched in 2019 by GirlsWhoPrint.net, Women's Print HERstory Month returns March 2020, and Girls Who Print is mobilizing the women in the industry, calling on them to stand up, speak up and share their career and success stories through social media using the hashtag #PrintHERstoryMonth.
This mission is also a call to action to global businesses across all segments of the print industry to seize this opportunity and put the incredible female leaders who manage teams, develop technology, and shatter sales targets in your company front and center, and share the incredible achievements of women in print with the world.
There are no limitations when it comes to how to engage with Women's Print HERstory Month. Participants are encouraged to create or share content in any form that celebrates the amazing women in the industry and send it out through social media using the hashtag #PrintHERstoryMonth, or send content to Girls Who Print to post it on their site. Podcasts From The Printerverse has a Girls Who Print podcast series, and many of the industry organizations have 'Women In Print' initiatives and events worth sharing in March.
Another way to get involved is to share content that celebrates print's fearless female leaders from trade media sites, but that search may produce a short list of results. The industry media has an opportunity to step up and support Women's Print HERstory Month by giving women equal visibility in March, and a responsibility to implement an ongoing strategy for more gender-balanced coverage.
Deborah Corn, Girl #1 at Girls Who Print, says: "Women's Print HERstory Month is about women in print refusing to be drowned out by the male voices that dominate the narrative of our industry, and taking power for themselves by standing up and shouting, 'This is what I do!' Everyone can show their support by following the hashtag stream and engaging with the content. A 'like' or a reshare or a retweet is an acknowledgement that the achievements of women in print matter."
Women's Print HERStory Month isn't just for corporations and trade media. Print shops also need to set examples for their communities, and especially for workforce development. Kelly Mallozzi, Girl #2 at Girls Who Print, explains why print businesses should share their female-led stories: "Simply put, you need to tell them and we need to hear them. The newer generations in the printing industry need all the help they can get in navigating their careers, building their development plan, and setting themselves up for success. The more seasoned among us need to tell their stories because it helps shape the narrative of where we've been, where we are now and where we're going."

Fowler brings game along with mullet to US Open
PEBBLE BEACH (AP) — Someone wanted to know about Rickie Fowler's haircut, not the kind of question you usually get after taking a share of the lead in the U.S. Open.
The mullet was attention grabbing, for sure. So on this day at Pebble Beach was his golf.
What that means for the rest of his U.S. Open is a question harder to answer than his hairstyle. Fowler has a history of unpredictability in major tournaments, as evidenced by the 84-65 he shot on the weekend last year at Shinnecock Hills.
Still, if his game holds up through this weekend he might want to see a barber before posing with the Open trophy Sunday night.
"We were doing it for the PGA in May. We're calling it Mullet May," Fowler said about the do's he and Jason Dufner got for charity. "We weren't doing it to get any extra attention or anything like that. It was for fun. And obviously we're not trying to look good with it."
What did look good Thursday in the opening round of the U.S. Open was Fowler's game. He made just a single bogey on his way to an opening 5 under 66 that left him tied for the early lead.
It might have been the best round from a player with a mullet since John Daly won the PGA in 1991. It might have also been one of the best ball striking rounds of Fowler's career.
"It felt like the worst I could have shot," he said, "so that's a good thing."
It is a good thing for all Rickie Fowler fans, of which there are many in golf. He's as popular as he is nice, a good combination on a tour with more than its share of petulant players.
But while he's a proven winner, he hasn't won enough to take his place among the game's elite.
And while he's had flashes of greatness at major championships, he's yet to win one of the ones that matter the most.
"If I don't win a major that's not going to necessarily define me," Fowler said earlier in the week. "So I want to win a major? Yes. I would love to and then knock off some more after that."
The U.S. Open would be a good way to start, as well as a good place to erase some painful memories from the past. That includes the 84 from last year's third round at Shinnecock, where whatever could go wrong did go wrong for Fowler.
But Fowler is nothing if not positive. He believes in his talent, and at the age of 30 he's got plenty of time to add to his five PGA Tour wins and capture a major or two.
He points to 2014 where he was the only player to finish in the top 5 of all four majors as evidence of his potential, and the final round at the 2018 Masters where his 65-67 on the weekend wasn't enough to overtake Patrick Reed.
Fowler instead found himself in a familiar pose, standing off the 18th green in a familiar pose, congratulating the champion.
"I wouldn't say I've necessarily had one in my hands and let it slip away, which is a good thing," he said. "But we have to go get ourselves one, because we've been in the position enough times where it could have went the other way."
On Thursday, most things went Fowler's way. He had the advantage of an early start, and got a jolt from a birdie three on the 512-yard second hole that got him going.
His goal in recent years has been to try and treat majors like they were just regular tournaments, something Fowler quickly reminded everyone they're not. He's trying not to get caught up in the moment, trying to avoid the mistakes that have plagued him in the past.
"I'm definitely at a point where this is another weekend on the course, competing against the best players in the world," he said. "And this is what we love to do. The last few years it's been how it's supposed to feel, when you want to go out and contend and get the job done."
If Fowler does get the job done it will be a win popular both with fans and his fellow players. He's close to many of his contemporaries on the tour, and has been visible after he's done playing at tournaments when he comes out to congratulate his friends on wins.
His last two rounds in U.S. Opens are 65 and 66, though with nothing to really show for it. He understands that good starts and good finishes don't mean much when they're sandwiched around mistakes in between.
Still, one day into this Open he's just where he needs to be.
"We're off to a good start," Fowler said. "We've got a lot of work to do."
