To Be Equal: How Will 2016's Presidential Candidates Save Our Cities?

"You must register. You must vote. You must learn, so your choice advances your interest and the interest of our beloved Nation. Your future, and your children's future, depend upon it, and I don't believe that you are going to let them down." – President Lyndon B. Johnson on the Signing of the Voting Rights Act, August 1965
For four days beginning in July, political, business, and community leaders will convene in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. for the 2015 National Urban League Conference. Conference attendees should expect to engage in thought-provoking discussions with leaders and experts in a variety of areas, including economics, entertainment, civil rights and politics.
This year, following a long-standing tradition of major-party presidential candidates addressing the conference, the National Urban League counts several 2016 presidential hopefuls – Republicans and Democrats alike – as invited guests. The candidates, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, will share their respective vision and strategies to save our cities.
The candidates' plenary session, "Save Our Cities: Education, Jobs + Justice," falls under the umbrella of the National Urban League's "Save Our Cities" campaign, an unprecedented mobilization to influence public policy through grassroots political action.
As we know far too well, our country faces tremendous challenges. Rather than recite our problems, rather than fall into the trap of recycling failed solutions for today's and tomorrow's challenges, we will reunite in Florida to deliberate on solutions and fresh ideas to the economic and social troubles plaguing our cities. These are discussions that are too important to take place in silos. The solutions to our challenges are stronger with buy-in, engagement and resources from all concerned stakeholders. So, it is vital that those contending for the highest office in the land be a part of that conversation.
The ravages of inequality on American families, particularly among those in African-American and Latino communities, continues to rip our nation apart. We must question and listen to any candidate's proposals to reverse this ever-widening trend of inequality.
An educated citizenry is best prepared to choose the candidate who will advance his or her interests, and ultimately, the interests of a stronger, healthier and more inclusive nation. During his remarks on the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, President Lyndon Johnson said, "The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men." The stakes are too high for us, and for future generations, not to have these discussions together.
In this year's analysis of the "State of Black America," the National Urban League found that while strides have been made in Black and Brown communities, tremendous gaps continue to leave us with a crisis in education, jobs and justice. In the case of justice, a series of horrific acts – from the deaths of Black men and women at the hands of police, to the racially motivated murder of nine people in a South Carolina church, to the legislative efforts in some states to rob Americans of their constitutional right to vote –cries out for serious and immediate reform.
While our economy is improving after the recession, the bounce back has not been as evident in many Black and Brown communities. For too many Americans, the recession is alive and well. As Congress continues to debate reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, we, along with a diverse coalition of policy-makers, families and community activists, are fighting to ensure that any new legislation adopted protects civil rights and promotes equity, equality and accountability in education.
These conversations are indispensable in this moment in which we as a nation find ourselves of perhaps the greatest social and economic upheaval in a generation. Choose to be a part of our discussion and conversation, or choose to get involved in the discussions and conversations that are happening, or will happen in your communities – every voice and vote matters.

The Unruly Journalist
April 9, 2012 Don Knowler
THE town of Woking was not big enough for Alf James and his nemesis, John Bateson. The titans of tight deadlines were two old warriors on a collision course.
Alf James regarded Woking as his town, and Bateson the intruder. After all, James had worked there most of his working life, the last 20 years of it as editor of the Woking Herald. The town was comfortable and familiar, like the charcoal-grey suites he wore to work each day.
This happy state of affairs had been shattered a year previously when Bateson had arrived in town to take over the running of the rival newspaper, the Woking News and Mail.
John Bateson was a man without experience of the workings of the town but with ambitions to make his mark.
The production of the News and Mail, along with its editor, had been transferred to head office in the nearby city of Guildford, but Bateson had been told at his interview that he was more like an editor than a chief reporter, with a budget and total control over his staff, a fact that swayed Bateson in his decision to take the job. He might not have the title editor on his calling card, but everyone in town would know that he had genuine status, he was a man to be looked up to.
All the same, Bateson resented Alf James being introduced by the title editor at civic functions, especially as James' newspaper had a smaller circulation than Bateson's. The roots of this resentment went back to the day Bateson first walked up Woking's main drag, Commercial Road, eyeing the office of the Woking Herald, and the words ''editor'' on the door leading from its reception counter.
Bateson's slow walk along the street that day had been straight out of a John Wayne movie, and the staff of the News and Mail had watched his approach with trepidation. A former army officer, he had a reputation for instilling discipline in his staff. This was in marked contrast to the departing editor, Ronald Sweatman, a man who, like Alf James, was comfortable in his surroundings, a man who had nothing to prove.
James and Swatman enjoyed getting the better of each other, with news scoops and promotions to boost the circulations of their respective newspapers, but nothing was ever done in a devious manner, nothing was underhand. On some occasions, when there were staff shortages caused by illness in winter, the two newspapers would even co-operate, pooling their resources to cover an event like a Christmas bizarre, or even the local traffic court.
Alf James may have had the title of editor on his business cards – in gold, embossed lettering – but he eschewed the status this brought in the town. He was not one for the business lunch, probably because he knew the real power of Woking resided with those not involved with the town directly, but those who worked inLondon25 miles distant. They belonged to the mansions in private estates onWoking's fringe, the stock-broker belt, where the town met open countryside.
Alf James could even be described as anti-establishment, an eccentric. Gardening was his passion as much as journalism, especially cultivating roses. He wore a rose in his lapel each day in spring and summer when his roses were in flower, and wore colourful ties to go with his charcoal-grey suit. In contrast, Bateson needed, even craved, to be the centre of attention, or so it seemed from his first day in Woking. He carried a military air, regimented and precise, so at odds with the chaotic, anarchic world of journalism.
Bateson and James might have been like chalk and cheese in personality but they had something in common. They were both superb journalists, skilled practitioners of their craft in not only obeying all the rules of objective, accurate and honest reporting, but with immaculate Pitmans shorthand notes as the tools of their trade.
Away from the editor's office, roses were not the only interest of James. He was also a stringer, or local correspondent, for several national newspapers. This not only earned him a fair income beyond his editor's salary to buy the most expensive of rose varieties, and have mushroom manure delivered to his door to help his roses grow rigorous and strong, but it also went some way to assuaging James' frustrated ambition to be a Fleet Street reporter, an ambition interrupted and then quashed by the Second World War.
Batson had made it to Fleet Street but a career there cut short by war engendered a frustration of a different kind, a frustration that bordered on bitterness. After the war returning journalists had found Fleet Street positions increasingly filled by younger men, in what had become a young man's, and woman's, industry.
From day one Bateson had tried to pull rank; first with his own reporters and then with the reporters of the opposition; demanding to be given press statements and council agendas first as the most senior journalist among those present at the court or the council chamber.
James, on the other hand, preferred to leave much of the reporting to his reporters. He was editor after all and his only guaranteed appearance on a story outside the Herald office was at the Woking Magistrates' Court on a Thursday, where he would put to use his shorthand for which he had won prizes.
Bateson eyed James with suspicion from the first day they met, when he caught a glimpse of a floral tie as they were introduced on the street outside the court. He sensed James was a libertarian and he was right, in the sense that the Herald editor gave his staff a relatively free rein. They could go and hunt for their own stories, especially if they might be of interest to the national press and James' lineage payments. James, of course, would always give his staff a generous percentage of any profit, possibly too generous but James from his earliest days in newspapers, at the time of the great depression in the 1930s, knew how hard it was to survive on a reporter's wage.
Alf James was also not too fussy about how his staff dressed. His dress code was a liberal one. Reporters were allowed to grow their hair relatively long, to wear flares and even denim shirts so long as they had a tie. It was the 1960s after all, as James would tell his staff.
James might have been a polite, undemonstrative and compassionate man, but his dislike of Bateson became obvious during the first few weeks Bateson was in town.
James never spoke of his war service, his life neatly divided into pre- and post-war and he didn't take kindly one morning at the magistrate's court when Bateson had asked him about it.
"I did my bit,'' Jones answered irritably, before turning away from Bateson at the reporters' bench, to run his eye over the court list.
It was clear James viewed Bateson as a supercilious bully but he kept his counsel. What happened within the News and Mail office was the affair of its staff and he kept his distance. Bateson, however, started to extend his bullying to James' staff, berating their appearance and sloppy timekeeping, and keeping a close watch on the speed of their shorthand at council committee meetings.
It was time for James to speak out. James called in to see Bateson, to suggest he kept his criticism of young reporters in general to his own staff. It was a point, however, he was determined to make politely.
James also pointed out that he had given a young reporter, the latest object of Bateson's criticism on a previous day, a pay rise, so impressed was he of his efforts.
Bateson laughed out loud before shouting: "Just as I thought, army pay corps, that was the sum total of your war.''
Another man might have exploded but James maintained his dignity. He looked more hurt than wounded. He was clearly a warrior who would live to fight again. Now his own war had been declared.
James started an anti-Bateson campaign immediately. Bateson had already upset enough people in town for James' initiative to take hold. He persuaded the political parties represented in the council, and even the local MP, to give Bateson press releases after the News and Mail's deadline at the end of the week. James commanded respect in the town and it was accepted his campaign was not malicious but merely a ploy to give him some leverage to get Bateson to toe the line.
Bateson, however, did not get the message, or at least the one intended. He misread James intentions of ultimate harmony and co-existence, and read James' actions as a plot to undermine him and force him out of town. He hit back in the only way he knew how. He had discouraged his staff from being stringers for Fleet Street publications, believing it detracted from their work for his newspaper, but now he encouraged them to go to the national newspapers and offer themselves as local correspondents, especially the newspapers that regarded James as their man in town.
Bateson did not know, of course, that some of the News and Mail reporters were already engaged in lineage work, in agreement with not Bateson but Alf James, picking up work that was unprofitable for James, or not worth his time.
Despite his campaign to chastise Bateson, James had largely kept his powder dry until one day a story appeared in his main source of stringer revenue, the Daily Express, fromWoking that James did not know about. And then another, and another: and after a week James realised that Bateson himself had entered the lineage market.
As James was to learn, Bateson might have become a figure of fun in Wokingbut he still had his contacts in Fleet Street. Each year the Daily Express sent out a representative to all the stringers throughout the country, and this year the man doing the rounds of south-westEngland was a retired chief sub-editor on the sports pages who knew Bateson personally.
"Well, I've got that James,'' Bateson announced proudly after the representative had left his office.
James came over to the News and Mail to complain and Bateson set out to humiliate him in front of his staff. It was the first time anyone had seen James in an angry mood, and he raised his voice as he spoke to Bateson, declaring he had been the Daily Express stringer for 25 years, a position he had earned over that time.
"Don't you raise your voice to me,'' Bateson retorted. "And in future you might like to address me as Major Bateson. I'm not a man to pull rank but in your case I think it's necessary,"
James turned without saying a word, and marched out of the office.
Bateson might now have the Daily Express but James still commanded the respect of theWoking establishment, those with authority on the ground: the police, the court clerk and the chairman of the urban district council. Bateson found news more and more difficult to get, especially on the day he wanted it, and that was the day before his newspaper went to press.
One morning, sitting in his office reading a report he had managed to get into the Daily Express, the Express news editor phoned to ask him when he would be filing on a murder case set for an out-of-hours session of the court that day.
"What murder case?'' Bateson asked, and it was left to the news editor to inform him that Ted Morris, a man sensationally charged with murdering his wife and blowing up their home earlier in the year, was appearing at a committal hearing, to send him for trial to a higher court.
A quick call to the court confirmed the case was indeed that morning, and was already under way. Bateson had not been alerted by the court clerk. Bateson ran out to his car, racing alongCommercial Roadto the court house and parking on a loading zone nearby, not worrying about possibly getting a parking ticket.
He barged into the court, pushing policemen and laywers aside, and took his place alongside James, Bateson still panting from the rush to reach the court.
"Been doing a little lineage work for the Express?'' Jones said with a chuckle, before returning to his shorthand.
''James,'' Bateson roared, "You're a 'orrible, 'orrible little man … "
The prosecutor laying out the evidence against the accused stopped speaking, looking over his horn-rimmed glasses to where the commotion was coming from.
"You 'orrible, 'orrible little man. If this was the army I'd have you on a charge,'' Bateson bellowed.
The accused's lawyer leapt to his feet.
"Your honour,'' he said to the magistrate, "my client's on trial for murder, he stands to go to prison for life, and we have this behaviour."
The magistrate, Lord Sowerdon, banged his gavel and turned to Bateson, who by this time was standing over James at the cramped reporters' bench, inviting him outside for a fight.
"Contempt of court. Take him down,'' Lord Sowerdon shouted to the clerk of the court, without looking at Bateson.
The chief reporter of the News and Mail was led to the cells, eventually to be released next morning after apologising to the magistrate before the full court.
It was Alf James' report of the trial of Alice Morris' husband that appeared in the Daily Express next day, with a brief side story about an unruly journalist being jailed for contempt of court.

Seafarer union Nautilus International is warning of "serious welfare and safety" issues arising from US President Donald Trump's immigration order.
The executive order on 27 January makes citizens of the seven countries subject to the temporary 90-day ban on entry to the US – Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Iran and Libya has left the international business community scrambling to understand the implications.
In a letter to the UK Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs, Boris Johnson, Nautilus secretary-general Mark Dickinson expressed the organisation's "deep concern" about the effects of the executive order on its members.
"There are serious safety and welfare issues at stake if seafarers are unable to join or leave their ships as planned. Some owners are already being advised not to arrange crew changes in the United States for citizens of the identified countries, including flights with transit through the US, and the already restrictive policies for seafarers' shore leave in many US ports – we fear – likely to become even more extreme," Dickinson said.
The letter also said that the fact the order called for a review into suspending the visa interview waiver programme for travellers from 38 countries also presented "worrying implications".
"I am therefore writing to request that the UK secures the appropriate clarity and safeguards on the rights of British seafarers to shore leave, transit, transfer or repatriation to the US," the letter said.

Q: Understanding strrchr function I'm doing some tests with function strrchr, but I can't understand the output:
$text = 'This is my code';
echo strrchr($text, 'my');
//my code

Ok, the function returned the string before last occurrence
$text = 'This is a test to test code';
echo strrchr($text, 'test');
//t code

But in this case, why the function is returning "t code", instead "test code"?
Thanks

A: Simple! Because it finds the last occurrence of a character in a string. Not a word.
It just finds the last occurrence character and then it will echo the rest of the string from that position.

In your first example:
$text = 'This is my code';
echo strrchr($text, 'my');

It finds the last m and then prints the reset included m itself: my code
In your second example:
$text = 'This is a test to test code';
echo strrchr($text, 'test');

It finds the last t and like the last example prints the rest: test code
More info

A: From the PHP documentation:

needle
If needle contains more than one character, only the first is used. This behavior is different
from that of strstr().

So your first example is the exact same as:
$text = 'This is my code';
echo strrchr($text, 'm');

RESULT
'This is my code'
         ^
        'my code'

Your second example is the exact same as:
$text = 'This is a test to test code';
echo strrchr($text, 't');

RESULT
'This is a test to test code'
                      ^
                     't code'

This function I made does what you were expecting:
/**
 * Give the last occurrence of a string and everything that follows it
 * in another string
 * @param  String $needle   String to find
 * @param  String $haystack Subject
 * @return String           String|empty string
 */
function strrchrExtend($needle, $haystack)
{
    if (preg_match('/(('.$needle.')(?:.(?!\2))*)$/', $haystack, $matches))
        return $matches[0];
    return '';
}

The regex it uses can be tested here: DEMO
example:
echo strrchrExtend('test', 'This is a test to test code');

OUTPUT:
test code

A: From PHP doc :
haystack
The string to search in
needle
If needle contains more than one character, only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of strstr().
In your example, only the first character of your needle (t) will be used

The query return all category for specific city_id now when i add distinct the above code i get the following result:
public function getCityCategory($city_id)
        {

          $select = $this->getDbTable()->getAdapter()->select();
            $select->from('business as b', array('b.cat_id'))
                 ->joinInner('business_category as bc','b.cat_id = bc.cat_id',array('bc.cat_name'))
                 ->distinct()
                 ->where('b.city_id='.$city_id);
   $result = $this->getDbTable()->getAdapter()->fetchAll($select);
            return $result;
        }

Now the question on how can i add count on last query so i can get total num of business for each category since distinct remove duplicate category? So the end result should be like this
[0] => Array
            (
                [cat_id] => 1
                [cat_name] => Restaurants
                [count] => 5
            ) ....

Thanks

A: Use
 count(cat_name) as count

and then
group by cat_name


Currently I am splitting my development time into 3 projects.
Project 1: I am still trying to hammer down a release for XBLIG Companion for the iOS devices. This has been a slower process that I had planned, and has been neglected more than it should have been. Hopefully I can get something hammered out before XBLIG is no longer existent.
Project 2: A little 2D game I am calling Xeoctsy Infinitum. It is a 2D space shooter, themed around a mix of Bullet Hell and Asteroids. It is being created using Unity3D. As of right now in the development process I have a simple asteroid field generated and the user can fly around and destroy the asteroids. I am hoping to release it as a twin stick shooter for iOS and Android devices, and possibly a slimmed version for the web. If you want to try the current (as of July 6th, 2012) early alpha build, you can play it here.
Project 3: Another 2D game using Unity3D, based on MBMBaM podcast. It will be a platformer with a Lost Vikings feel (hopefully). This game is in the really early alpha, with a small prototype in the works. This is the bigger of the 3 projects, and will be more of a long term goal to work on. If you want to try the current (as of July 6th, 2012) early alpha build, you can play it here.
With the other use of my time, I finally got to the end of Dragon's Dogma this last weekend. I thought it was a pretty good game, even though it does have some quirks. I am glad that CAPCOM is following it up with some more games, hopefully fleshing out more of the world, and the IP in general. Haven't played too much more of Diablo 3, not really seeing the fun in farming, and trying to farm a slim chance of getting a good item for my current class. The new Penny Arcade 3 game has my eye for this weekend. Going to try to hammer through it, and put it in my "done" pile.

Q: Memory Leaks in Objective-C / Arrays I'm looking at someone's code and I know the general rule is if you have alloc/init, you need to release that memory.  He uses a lot of NSMutableArrays, alloc/inits them, but does not release them.  Can I simply send the autorelease message to the array that gets created if I do not see any other release/autorelease message getting sent to that array?  I basically don't want to get his code to crash and stop working either :P.
With NSMutableArrays, when you send the message addObject and the object in that array increases its retain account, if that array gets released, but the object never gets sent a release or removeObject from the array, is that also a memory leak?  Thanks.

A: You need to either -release or -autorelease anything you -retain, +alloc, -copy, +allocWithZone: or -copyWithZone:. (And, if you retain something twice you also need to release it twice.)
When an NSMutableArray (or NSArray, NSSet, or NSDictionary and mutable subclasses) object is dealloc'd (retain count reaches zero), it releases anything it contains. When you add an object to an NSMutableArray, the array retains the object (it does not copy it like some people claim).
I highly recommend the Memory Management Programming Guide to both you and the someone you referred to in the question.
I hope this answer helps you and someone. Good luck. :)

Also, enable the Clang Static Analyser in the build settings. This will tell you at compile time when a leak is going to happen (and much, much more). In fact, it's the first thing I always do when I start a new project. The analyzer never lied to me.

A: NSArray and NSMutableArray release all of their objects when they are destroyed, so if the array is managed properly with retain and release (or autorelease) the objects within will not be leaked.  But if there are arrays that are never released, they will leak, along with everything inside them.
Without seeing the code, it's hard to advocate for just adding autoreleases everywhere, but for arrays that are used only in the context of a single function (and not assigned to ivars or static variables), the answer is yes, they should be autoreleased. Or more idiomatically, create them with methods like +arrayWithCapacity, which returns an object that has already been added to the autorelease pool.

A: It is general practice to release all the objects you initialize. But in your case, releasing the array should release all objects as well.
But it all depends on how you are using your objects  !!!

Martin Koukal, född 25 september 1978 i Nové Město na Moravě, är en tjeckisk längdskidåkare.

Koukal gjorde debut i världscupen i december 1997 och har där haft sina största framgångar som sprintåkare, med en andra- och en tredjeplats.  Hans enda världscupseger är en stafett i Davos 2007.  Oväntat vann han VM-guldet på 50 km vid VM i Val di Fiemme 2003, vilken är den senaste VM-femmil som avgjorts med individuell start.  Han har även vunnit VM-medalj i lagsprint och OS-medalj i stafett.

50 km vid VM i Val di Fiemme 2003

Koukal hade inlett VM i Val di Fiemme med att komma på sjätte plats i dubbeljakten (då kallad skiatlon) över 10+10 km, endast 0,9 sekunder från vinnaren.  Därefter hade han i stafetten den fjärde bästa sträcktiden då han var slutman för det tjeckiska laget som kom sjua.  Inför sprinttävlingen uttalade Koukal att om han skulle vinna den, skulle han inte starta på femmilen.  Visserligen vann han finalen, men bara B-finalen och slutresultatet blev således en femteplats.

Från startnummer 27 inledde Koukal femmilen svagt och blev snart upphunnen av den en halv minut senare startande italienaren Fulvio Valbusa och hängde på denne.  Valbusa hade startat mycket snabbt och ledde länge tävlingen.  Koukal förklarade efteråt att han känt sig trött de första milen och haft fullt sjå att hänga med italienaren.  Sedan, efter halva loppet, återfick han krafterna och åkte loppets sista varv (av fyra) snabbare än någon annan.  På fjärde milen lämnade han Valbusa efter sig och besegrade silvermedaljören Anders Södergren med 15 sekunder.

Efter loppet tackade Koukal särskilt sin svenske tränare Christer Skog.

Rules of customary international law provide basic legal protections to foreign investors doing business abroad. These rules remain of fundamental importance today despite the growing number of investment treaties containing substantive investment protection. In this book, Patrick Dumberry provides a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of custom in the field of international investment law. He analyses two fundamental questions: how customary rules are created in this field and how they can be identified. The book examines the types of manifestation of state practice which should be considered as relevant evidence for the formation of customary rules, and to what extent they are different from those existing under general international law. The book also analyses the concept of states' opinio juris in investment arbitration. Offering guidance to actors called upon to apply customary rules in concrete cases, this book will be of significant importance to those involved in investment arbitration.

Crumb @ Holocene 3/5/19 Shot by Tk Taylor
Crumb took the stage at the Holocene on March 5th, 2019 in Portland, OR. Opening with their hit, Plants, Crumb immediately had the audience hooked. Lila Ramani's soothing voice and guitar notes echoed through the venue, backed by Brian Aronow on synth, Jesse Brotter on bass, and Jonathan Gilad on drums. Crumb's dreamy pop tunes kept the crowd in a trance all night, until we were left begging for an encore. They ended the show with the ever-so-sweet song, Nina, and the night will live on in these photos.
"Crumb originally came together in 2016 to develop and record a collection of songs Lila had written throughout college, a recording project that became their first self-titled Crumb EP. Locket, their second EP, was created while the four were split between New York and Boston and released in June 2017. They are currently based in NYC and in the midst of recording their first full-length album." - Ground Control Touring

Q: Dynamically generating Row and Column headers for DataGrid using templates WPF I am working on populating a grid using templates, where I do not know the number of rows and columns, these will be generated via a WCF service in a class that looks something like this:
 class GridPoint:
    {
string Rowheader;
float cellvalue;
     }

class ColumnData: List<GridPoint>
{

}

So the datagrid code would be something like this:
 MyGrid: DataGrid
{
InitializeComponent();
 private void DataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(objectsender,DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
 var col = new DataGridTextColumn {Binding = new Binding(e.PropertyName), Header = e.PropertyName};
        e.Column = col;

}
}

I found a way to auto generate columns with the data template in this post. However, they have no mention of adding the row header for each point. I would appreciate your help in adding a row header to the mix into the column style.
The end product should look something like this:
    Column1   Column2
Row1    123       123
Row2    811       811
Row3    123       123

A hack I can think of is just generating an extra column with a different style similar to the column header style and adding my row points in it.

A: If you are talking about populating a DataGrid in WPF, unless you set
 AutoGenerateColumns="False"

in your XAML your grid will have it's columns automatically built from the public properties.
The number of rows is not important unless you for some reason need to set a hard limit on the maximum number.


Make sure you unplug you laptop when it is charged. In some cases, overcharging can damage the battery. According to the Battery University, a battery will give you 300 to 500 full discharge cycles or charges, and overcharging can significantly reduce the number of charges a battery is able to produce. Furthermore, Battery University recommends ideally using your laptop between 40% and 80% percent battery life to get the most life out of the battery.
The number one battery drain is the screen brightness, and that goes for any device, including your cell phone. Search for "Power Options" on your machine, and make adjustments. Keep that backlight to a minimum and extend your battery life. While you are in the area of adjusting power settings, you can tell your laptop when to hibernate and sleep. When your machine is not charging or in use, adjust the settings to have the display turn off or dim.
Keeping the vents clear on your laptop will improve your battery life. It is bad practice to set your laptop on a pillow, couch cushion, mattress, or anything soft that hinders airflow. The vents under your laptop will end up drawing up debris and the fans get congested, which in turn makes your machine work harder than it needs to. This will drain your battery very quickly, and over time could do some damage. If your laptop starts to feel very hot or makes a loud buzzing, move it to a hard surface immediately.

Nagel-Heyer Records is a German jazz record label based in Hamburg.

Nagel-Heyer was founded in 1992 by Hans and Sabine Nagel-Heyer to issue primarily live recordings of both North American and European jazz performers. By 2004, it had released nearly 200 albums.

History
Sabine Nagel-Heyer managed a twenty-four hour jazz station in Germany. She and her husband, Hans, attended a concert in Bremen, Germany, by a group that included Kenny Davern, Eddie Higgins, George Masso, Danny Moss, and Randy Sandke. The promoter persuaded the couple to sponsor a concert in Hamburg on September 26, 1992, George Gershwin's birthday. The concert was recorded under the title the Wonderful World of George Gershwin, and when it was broadcast on the station, listeners wanted to buy a copy.

The German government warned that the station's dwindling profits could lead to the loss of its license. The format was changed so that jazz aired only once a week, giving Sabine Nagel-Heyer time to concentrate on more live recordings. By 1994, the label released a new live concert every month. Nagel-Heyer concentrates on live recordings of mainstream jazz, sing, and Dixieland. The label's roster includes Harry Allen, Wycliffe Gordon, Byron Stripling, Donald Harrison, Ken Peplowski, and Randy Sandke.

What India can learn from IFAS and my grandfather KC Johorey in tackling border issues
The Indian Frontier Administrative Service was disbanded in 1968. But some of its core concepts are worth remembering today when frontier regions feel a disconnect that was not always there.

Ever since the intrusion in Ladakh last year and the subsequent rise in border tensions at the Line of Actual Control, the Indian commentariat has tried to decode the Chinese strategies with specific references to 1962 and later. What has been less talked about is India's border policy pre-1962 and the people who worked to build relationships and not simply impose policy from a faraway capital. That era's border policy was significantly shaped by the now-disbanded Indian Frontier Administrative Service – a special cadre of trained officers who served in frontier areas and oversaw the North-East Frontier Agency (present-day Arunachal Pradesh) as well as other regions along the India-China border.
The Indian Frontier Administrative Service (IFAS) was formed by first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the early 1950s. The foreign secretary was its chairperson and the select few who got enlisted in the cadre were from the IFS, IAS and IPS, their deployment rotating between remote tribal areas and embassies. My grandfather, Major Krishna Chandra Johorey (KCJ), who passed away on 31 December 2020 and in whose memory I write this article, was part of the first batch of 14 men selected to serve in the IFAS, all from Army background. Although the IFAS was disbanded in 1968, some of its core concepts are worth revisiting today, especially since frontier regions continue to feel a sense of neglect that I noticed during my extensive travel in the region, a disconnect that was not always felt – adding layers of complication to the border issue.

Like many men of his time, KCJ was taken up with the ideals of the leaders of the freedom movement, and left home and a potential law career in Allahabad to join the struggle. In the days after Independence, KCJ joined the Indian Army and served in the engineer corps as a Bengal Sapper, first sent on active duty to Kashmir and later to the NEFA where he spent the better part of almost two decades. In 1953, he was selected for the IFAS – a job that required a certain understanding and connection with the region and its people, which KCJ seemed to inherently possess. He and Captain Utankamoni Chakma were given the charge of the Siang Frontier Division with Along (present-day Aalo) as a base, beginning what can only be termed as wild and wonderful life and career. Through the 1950s and the '60s, KCJ and his wife Sudha lived and served in some of the remotest parts of what is now Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet.
It was during this time that KCJ and Sudha were first introduced to the Dalai Lama in Delhi and were posted in Tibet in the late 1950s, along with IAS officer P.N Kaul and Maj. S.L Chibber. KCJ and Sudha took Nehru's mandate to the IFAS very seriously, working with the tribal groups of the region with great care and friendliness. My grandmother was equally popular, setting up schools and teaching wherever they were posted. While the mission was never to 'counter' the Chinese, they and many others, including Lt. Col. Rashid Yusuf Ali and Maj. Ralengnao (Bob) Khathing, not only made the frontier regions their allies but worked to tackle the numerous administrative and social issues with compassion. From Along, KCJ was sent to Khonsa at the Burma border, and then to Bomdila in 1961 and other sensitive areas, with postings in Tibet. With their travels, they were also mapping the region on horseback, marking roads I have travelled almost 60 years later all the way to Bum La.

Bond with the Dalai Lama
As the Chinese aggression during the mid and late 1950s worsened, KCJ was one of the last Indians to leave Yatung, Tibet, not only ensuring that all the Indians had been safely dispatched but also aiding the Tibetans who sought refuge, especially once word about the Dalai Lama's journey to India got out. Using diplomatic immunity, a hugely pregnant Sudha was also instrumental in bringing back to India books, papers and artefacts of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people, many of which are now on display at the museum in Dharamshala.
KCJ's deep connection to the region never waned and he continued to aid the state governments and civil society in whatever manner he could until the very end. In 1963, KCJ was awarded a Padma Shree by then-President S. Radhakrishnan for his bravery and services rendered, and also received a special mention from PM Nehru, whom my grandparents had met and hosted several times, including in Yatung and Bomdila.

After spending almost 15 years on the frontier regions of the north and northeast, including time in Bhutan and Sikkim as a political counsellor, KCJ was posted in Afghanistan as the first secretary and became witness to a unique period of the country's history in the late 1960s and the early '70s. He continued to work within both the IFS and IAS, owing to his unique training and ability to examine critically political strategy and responsibility, a core characteristic of IFAS officers. He had one last station in the northeast, as divisional organiser, Village Volunteer Force, Manipur and was later made chief secretary of Goa in the late 1970s, along with various stints in the national capital.

The life I learned about later
KCJ led a remarkable life, and there are stories and accounts of official visits to Russia and possibly other Western countries, the purpose of some we were never privy to. Many periods of his life and career remain cloudy. On 31 December 2020, KCJ took with him many secrets, including the burning or successfully hiding of many official documents from India House, Yatung, to ensure they did not fall in the hands of the Chinese; serving and protecting his country till the very end.
It was only in 2005 that I truly began to understand the extent of my grandparents' service to India. That summer, I travelled with the family and a couple of friends from the US to Dharamshala for a private audience with the 14th Dalai Lama. At Pathankot, we were met by representatives from the Tibetan government-in-exile and taken to the Army guest house. Holidays with my grandparents meant stays either at the Army guest houses or state bhavans, so none of that was unusual. What one couldn't quite comprehend was sitting in the living room of the Dalai Lama the next day and seeing my grandparents and him chatter away like old friends, each trying to get a word in. There was much laughter and stories of Tibet and Sikkim, shared experiences and a common love for a region and people under turmoil.
I had grown up with the exciting stories of a life lived in faraway places, famous people and embassy events, with a constant theme of helping people and serving the country. On that day, all those fascinating tales came to life. Tales that I had heard during summer drives and mountain vacations or playing in the backyard in the winter sun while my grandfather read stacks of newspapers, or over drinks at the club when I was older with other equally interesting men and women from the services. As I progressed in my own life in the larger space of public policy, the 'stories' I grew up with took on a different meaning. I will always remember the day I met the Dalai Lama for obvious reasons, but also because on that day, my funny storytelling grandfather transformed into a guide and constant source of inspiration as I navigated a somewhat similar space.

On the road: Individuals with autism are learning how to drive with new resources
Baylee DeMuth
Josh Snyder, like many teens his age, is in the process of getting his driver's license.
Snyder, 19, hopes being able to drive will help him better fit in with peers, even if it means taking a 40-hour driver-education course instead of the usual six-hour one.
As a person diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Snyder decided to take Transportation Solutions' driver rehabilitation course, lessons that evaluate and train people with physical and/or cognitive disabilities.
"At first I was like, 'Do I really want to join the OVR (Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation) class and do all that stuff?' But then I thought, 'Well, they're going to be a major help to my success, so why not?'" Snyder said. "Personally I feel this is better the way we're doing it. I'm learning a lot in the two hours I do the lessons versus doing other things the way other people would do it."
The driver rehabilitation course, along with a new program from the Autism Society Northwestern Pennsylvania, are resources to help individuals on the autism spectrum learn how to drive.
Difference between regular and OVR driving classes
On Nov. 2, Snyder arrived at Transportation Solutions for his sixth lesson out of 20.
Melissa Pratt, his driving instructor, said they'd be going over how to change lanes in moderate traffic and how to identify "zoomers" — drivers who speed up and don't let you change lanes, and "hangers" — drivers who hang back and give you space to change lanes.
Snyder has practiced lane changing at Presque Isle State Park, but not in areas with heavier traffic, Pratt said. She said it's common for people who have autism to dedicate several lessons to learning one skill until they're comfortable enough to apply it in a new setting.
Related:Enhancing life for those with intellectual disabilities, autism
"In addition to having a lot more lessons in general, a lot of our students have a level of anxiety that requires they take breaks periodically," Pratt said. "There's more time spent pulled over to the side of the road or pulled off to a safe area to discuss concepts rather than talking through it while they're driving because it's too distracting."
During some of those breaks, Pratt might pull out diagrams of traffic situations, or have the student watch a quick video of a driving concept. Pratt said they even have toy cars in the occupational therapy vehicles to demonstrate what to do in a specific driving situation.
"There's a lot of visual components to it, where somebody who's learning on the other side in the driving school, they're not going to pull over on the side of the road to talk about this, they're not going to have the toy cars doing these demonstrations," Pratt said.
Mercyhurst seniors see benefits of special driving lessons
While the traditional driving school can teach a person how to drive in three, two-hour lessons, Pratt said it's typical that people with autism will use 30 to 40 hours.
Since the hours vary, the driver rehabilitation course can be taken in either 20 hours or 40 hours, depending on an evaluation Transportation Solutions conducts prior to the lessons. Mercyhurst University seniors, Ben Newlin and Bryce Slevin, both on the autism spectrum, completed the 20-hour lesson.
Newlin, 23, and Slevin, 25, belong to the Autism Initiative at Mercyhurst (AIM) Program, which focuses on building a foundation of self-advocacy, social skills and academic progress. Last year, AIM partnered with Transportation Solutions to give students the opportunity to learn how to drive, a skill the program saw as vital for its students with ASD to live independent lives.
Newlin and Slevin were two of the first AIM students to take the course in the fall of 2021. Since both students live on campus, neither found driving necessary. But with graduation right around the corner, having a license became more of a priority.
"I just didn't see the utility and I had some anxiety about driving," Newlin said. "I pushed it to the side until several years later it felt more and more like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna need to be able to get around.'"
The most challenging part, both agreed, was learning to drive during the winter. But driving challenges vary for each person, Slevin said.
"One of the big things I don't think a lot of people know is that it's a spectrum," Slevin said. "There are people who don't have the same level of light sensitivity, sound sensitivity. For example, I don't have those issues. I know people who do, so I think for me it was different.
"I think the thing is a lot of people have this idea of us where we are incapable of doing normal things ... But this partnership with Transportation Solutions kind of breaks that mold and shows that it's not that we can't be independent, it's just that compared to someone else, we might need just a little more help or just a different way of approaching the situation."
Related:Study helps those with autism improve driving
Since Newlin and Slevin received their driver's licenses, they said interest to drive among other AIM students has been slim. Slevin said the ability to drive is there, they just need to find the self-confidence to want to learn.
"The spectrum is so broad now in terms of what's classified as autism," Newlin said. "For someone to say, 'Oh you have autism? You're probably not going to be able to drive,' is so not accurate. There's so many varying levels of ability."
Drive to Success traffic stop course for people with ASD
For some who have ASD, getting a driver's license is only the first of many obstacles when learning how to drive.
The Autism Society NWPA is hoping to address those challenges in a program they've launched called Drive to Success. In collaboration with the Pennsylvania State Police, Erie City Police Department and the Millcreek Township Police, Autism Society NWPA launched a training program for individuals with ASD who have their license to learn how to handle a police traffic stop, and the important steps to follow in an accident.
The pilot program is currently taking place, but Autism NWPA hopes to hold the program twice a year, with the next one expected to take place in the spring.
Cpt. Kirk Reese, of the Pennsylvania State Police, approached the Autism Society NWPA with the idea for the program.
ASD driving resources in practice:Ford driving program explores challenges to and on the road for drivers with autism
After attending a traffic safety conference in Texas over the summer, Reese learned about Connecticut's "Blue Envelope" program. The envelope holds necessary paperwork ― insurance card, registration ― so the driver can hand it to the officer if ever pulled over. On the outside of the envelope are helpful tips and instructions for both the officer and driver on how to successfully communicate with each other.
"I figured we can do this and we can do better," Reese said.
The Drive to Success program is two-fold: Police officers are getting to know individuals with autism and how to interact with them while the drivers learn what to do during a traffic stop while also getting to know their local law enforcement.
During the program, drivers prepare for mock traffic stops they're put through in their final session. In preparation for the many lights and sounds the students will encounter during their mock traffic stops, the program spent an evening getting the individuals comfortable with those factors.
"We walked around and talked to them and asked how they were doing, and they said it (emergency vehicle sirens, lights) was a lot," said Allyson Grossman, program and activities director for Autism Society NWPA. "But I'd rather you be exposed to it here, develop a coping mechanism with us, with your parent in the parking lot than you get pulled over for the first time and it's that added stress for the officer and for the kid."
The Autism Society NWPA hopes each five-week cohort will consist of six officers with up to 10 drivers. They want to keep participation small in order to have that one-on-one connection, said Tish Bartlett, executive director of the Autism Society NWPA.
"We feel like we're not only connecting our individuals with the knowledge and understanding of what to do, but ... To help them have these skills so they're not panicking when they're out alone on the road," Bartlett said. "And also build the relationship with our local police departments so our individuals know they can trust the officers and that they're there to help them."

Yeah you heard me - Postcard on the Run is a cool little app that, among other things, lets users send nostril-pleasing postcards to recipients.
There are several postcard apps currently on the market. The whole idea is to get those photos off your smartphone and into the hands of those less techie members via postcards. Postcard on the run is a easy-to-use app that quickly takes you from snapping a photo to sending a postcards to friends and family, with some cool-smelling features.
Thats' right, for an extra $.50, you can add various scents to your postcards ranging from Baby Powder, to Ocean Breeze, to Teen Spirit (whatever that smells like).
Postcard on the run's prices are pretty competitive to similar apps, so why not check it out and give your postcard recipients something to see and smell?


The modern world exposes people are very frequent and severe tests. Planck's success is getting higher and higher. There are various methods for improvement and personal growth. Sometimes, more than professional skills needed other qualities - discipline, positive attitude, quick response, vital courage in making decisions. In short - the ability to control their own lives. Just for this, and is Life - management.
Life management - it is a science, designed to simplify the life of a person while not compromising quality. This system helps people to properly organize their work and leisure time control, manage emotions, cope with stress, communicating with people accept new techniques of self-development.
Life management - it is a strategy planning time life in general. Remember the catch phrase: "Live your life so that was not painfully hurt"? Life Management helps it to you to be proud of themselves and happy with their lives.
• Draw a circle of the main values in life.
• Identify vital reference path and navigate to them.
• Set a realistic, visible targets.
• Consider a plan for moving towards these goals: minimum and maximum.
Perhaps the most difficult part of this process - identify the main values of life. How to do it? Listen to yourself. Analyze how you have lived up to this point - what are the core areas of your life that you rely on.
• Beauty, health, harmonious development.
• Love, excitement, entertainment and recreation.
• My business, my projects.
• Personal growth and development, social and psychological skills.
• Spiritual growth, knowledge of life, the realization of destiny.
• The growth and development of the individual.
Unfortunately, professional training courses where you can learn Life management, no. There are several books and trainings, but you can do even without them. This method is based on the desire to improve their lives and self-discipline. Therefore, you will need to rely on your experience and have the will to achieve their goals.
First Understand yourself and prioritize. You surely have dreams and desires. Motives and wishes can be many, and the first thing you need to make a list of desires - a very clear and precise. Record every wish individually and as specific as possible.
• «I want to be rich" - not a very good option.
• «I have organized their own business, which brings a steady income" - much better.
Begin to describe step by step chain. Each step shall describe in detail and detail. Go step by step from step to step, what they will be described in more - the better.
Then mark the time frame. Each task set to be executed in a clear time frame.
After that - start to implement your plans. Remember - it is your own plans for your own life. Thank you for yourself is the best advisor and can only wish myself good. Do not wait for tomorrow twist to a happy life. Begin to live happily right now.

Red Sox - 020 231 120 - 11 19  0
Rangers - 000 000 031 -  4 10  2
Six hours before the first pitch, I wrote that I wanted Yu Darvish "to give up seven runs". I didn't actually think that would happen. In 14 of his 17 starts this year, Darvish had allowed three runs or fewer. He allowed a season-worst five runs in a mid-June outing. But since everything is clicking for the Red Sox right now, they promptly battered Darvish for 11 hits and seven runs in his shortest start of the year (4.1-11-7-0-4, 89).
Andrew Benintendi led the way. He went 5-for-5, with two singles, a double, and two home runs. He scored four runs and had a career-best six runs batted in. (It was his second five-hit game of the season; he went 5-for-5 on April 23 against the Orioles.) Adding in his game-winning hit from Tuesday, Benintendi has six hits in his last six at-bats, with 8 RBI.
The bottom of the Red Sox's batting order could not stay off the bases. The #6-9 hitters - Benintendi, Jackie Bradley, Christian Vazquez, and Tzu-Wei Lin - went 14-for-19, with seven runs scored and 10 RBI. (On the flip side, the top three batters in the starting lineup - Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, and Xander Bogaerts - went 1-for-16. So expect the dim bulbs on sports radio to instruct Red Sox fans to start panicking.)
David Price (6-6-0-2-9, 106) was sharp. He allowed a single and a double with two outs in the first, but fanned Carlos Gomez to strand the runners. Price struck out two batters in each of the next three innings. He did not walk anyone until the sixth.
Darvish retired his first four batters, but gave up a quick run when Hanley Ramirez doubled and Benintendi singled him in. Benintendi came around to score on hits by Vazquez and Lin. (With Betts batting, Vazquez and Lin pulled off the Red Sox's third double steal in their last five games (!).)
Darvish cruised through the third, but the bottom of the order got him again in the fourth. Benintendi doubled to right with one out. Bradley's infield hit put runners at first and third. Vazquez singled in one run and Lin singled in another.
In the fifth, Darvish got one out, but Mitch Moreland and Ramirez both singled and Benintendi (minutes after making a stunning leaping catch against the wall in left) crushed a 1-1 pitch to deep right to boost the score to 7-0 (and end Darvish's night). Benintendi also singled in a run in the following inning. Vazquez and Lin began the seventh with hits and Pedroia knocked in Vazquez with an infield chopper than Elvis Andrus threw away for an error.
In the eighth, facing Nick Martinez (who threw 80 pitches in relief), Benintendi and Bradley hit back-to-back home runs on consecutive pitches. Benintendi's shot was down the left field line by the pole, while JBJ's was to right-center. (I thought Martinez's 80 pitches might have been the most thrown by a reliever this year, but 10 pitchers have thrown more than that already.)
Texas spoiled the shutout and prolonged the game with a couple of "Dong Johnsons" (as Eck might say). Mike Napoli blasted a three-run shot in the eighth and Delino DeShields hit a solo homer in the ninth.
Boston began the night with the best staff ERA in the AL (3.79) and the fewest walks allowed. The bullpen has a 2.88 ERA, second best in MLB.
The hitters are fourth in the AL in runs scored, second in hits, third in doubles, fourth in steals (!), second in batting average, third in OBP, and fifth in OPS.
They have 50 hits and 33 runs in their last three games. During their six-game winning streak, they have scored 53 runs on 85 hits and 34 walks. In those six games, they are batting .346.
They have won eight of their last nine games. They are 14 games over .500 and have a season-high four-game lead in the AL East.
As Benintendi says, the Red Sox are "starting to click".

Sometimes you learn things that you never knew you needed to know. For example, have you been wondering how many saves Chris Sale has this season? I haven't. But during last night's game, NESN let me know.
Zero. Chris Sale has recorded zero saves this year. So ... now you know.
(Also: Yu Darvish rescues dogs. But I still want him to give up seven runs.)
(And: Milwaukee's Orlando Arcia scored from first base on an infield hit just past the mound. There were no errors on the play.)
Even Sale looks unimpressed with his line

Allan, NESN also gave a stat box about the 5-game winning streak. The first stat? Record! SPOILER: It was 5-0. (TC actually mentioned it in full-sarcasm mode.)

Jake of All Trades said...
"Yu Darvish rescues dogs. But I still want him to give up seven runs"
You called the 7 earned runs exactly!
Elias Says: Andrew Benintendi was 5-for-5 with two homers and six RBIs on Tuesday night. The only other rookie to ever have a 5-for-5 (or better) game with at least two homers and six or more RBIs was Kevin Seitzer for the Royals in 1987. Seitzer went 6-for-6 with two homers and seven RBIs against the Red Sox.
Benintendi also collected five hits in a game earlier this season at Baltimore. He already has as many career five-hit games (two) as Miguel Cabrera. Or, if you prefer a more historical comparison, Benintendi has two more five-hit games than Lou Gehrig, Mel Ott and Barry Bonds had combined in their careers. None of those three players ever registered five hits in a major-league game.
