Business trips can be exhausting but they're also a nice way to get away for a while and see/experience new things - especially when taking trips to a new location.
This was my first time visiting Phoenix and I was pretty excited - also because it was really warm out there and during this time Boston was still getting pounded with historical record breaking snow.
Warm up sketches usually start off at the airport and inside the plane. Just a great way to shift the mind and to get into the mode of travel sketching.
Landing in Phoenix, I took the light rail into the city instead of taking the cab since I was in no rush. I tend to prefer walking, biking and public transportation over cars since it allows me to see the surroundings better.
After checking in, I walked around the city sketching and looking for a place to eat. Also ran into a classic car street festival. Wish I had eaten prior to finding this festival since I was too hungry to sketch.
It was a Sunday and I had some free time. The hotel had a rental bike (free!) so I just freely rode around the city.
I ran into a place called the 'Friendship Garden' - quite fascinating to find a Japanese garden in a desert area. Koi carps and everything. Very tranquil.
The same church drawn on day 1 but this time looking from a balcony across the street. That's were my conference was taking place.
I had my (free) hotel bicycle so I didn't get a chance to try these city bikes placed throughout the city but these bikes had really nice attention to details and quite high tech too.
I also had some time to visit the Heard Museum (American Indian Art and History) which was fascinating, and an amazing exhibition of Da Vinci's original writing/drawings were on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.

What Are My Rights? A Guide for Title IX Survivors of Campus Adjudication Procedures
By Lauren S. Miller | May 10th, 2017
Every federally funded university must comply with the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX. Under Title IX, your university must issue a policy against sexual assault, adopt and publicize grievance procedures, and have a designated Title IX coordinator to assist you and investigate your complaint.
REPORTING RIGHTS
You have the right to report your claim to the Title IX coordinator.
The university has an obligation to provide you with options for formal and informal measures that can be taken.
If you ask for your complaint to not be pursued or request confidentiality, your school must take all reasonable investigative steps to respond to the complaint consistent with your confidentiality requests.
You have the right to be provided accommodations by your university under Title IX.
The university must clearly identify where you can obtain confidential support services such as advocacy and counseling.
You have the right to be protected against retaliation from your school, assailant, or others for reporting sexual misconduct.
You have the right to file a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
INVESTIGATION RIGHTS
The university must conduct a prompt, impartial, and thorough investigation and must take appropriate steps to resolve the situation regardless of whether a formal complaint is made.
The university must take reasonable, prompt, and effective action to end the harassment and prevent it from happening again to you or others.
You have the right to necessary interim protective measures during the investigation process.
You have the right to sources of counseling, advocacy, and support.
You have the right to review your assailant's statement after you make a claim.
You have the right to have an advocate or support person attend hearings with you.
You have the right to be promptly notified of the outcome of the university's investigation and of any punishments imposed that directly relate to you such as a no-contact order.
You have the unequivocal right to appeal your case.
Your university must properly investigate and resolve any allegations of sexual assault. Appropriate steps taken by the university should be tailored to the specific nature and circumstances of your case. However, every school is different and has great discretion in its procedures. It is important that you review your school's Title IX policies and procedures, which you can obtain from your school's website or Title IX office, so you fully understand your school's Title IX process and their responsibility to you.

One of Paterson's most notorious street corners claimed another life Wednesday night during one of the deadliest years of violence in the Silk City in the past decade.
The victim this time was a 58-year-old woman who was shot dead in the chest near the corner of Van Houten and Summer streets shortly before 9:30 p.m., responders said.
Diane Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene moments later.
Five shots in all were fired, bystanders said.
It was unclear whether the shooter had been caught or a suspect identified.
A shooting occurred at the same corner just five nights earlier.

What Options Do You Have During Medicare Open Enrollment?
From October 15 to December 7 every year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) gives you free reign to change your Medicare coverage. Take advantage of the Medicare Open Enrollment Period or you could be stuck with your plan for the coming year, premiums and all.
Open Enrollment is your time to pick the Medicare plan that gives you the best coverage for the best price. Here are your different options.
You can change from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage.
You can switch from Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) to a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C).
You can switch from Original Medical to a Medicare Advantage Plan with Part D coverage (an MA-PD plan).
You can switch from Original Medicare plus a Part D plan to a Medicare Advantage plan.
You can switch from Original Medical plus a Part D plan to an MA-PD plan.
You can change from Medicare Advantage to Original Medicare.
You can switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to Original Medicare.
You can switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to Original Medicare plus a Part D plan.
You can switch from an MA-PD plan to Original Medicare.
You can switch from an MA-PD plan to Original Medicare plus a Part D plan.
You can change from Medicare Advantage to Medicare Advantage.
You can change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another Medicare Advantage plan.
You can change from a Medicare Advantage plan to an MA-PD plan.
You can change from one MA-PD plan to another MA-PD plan.
You can change from an MA-PD plan to a Medicare Advantage plan.
You can change your prescription drug coverage.
You can sign up for a Part D plan.
You can switch from one Part D plan to another Part D plan.
You can cancel your Part D coverage.
Open Enrollment has its limits. You cannot enroll in Original Medicare for the first time or sign up for Part B, even if you already have Part A.
You need to sign up for Part A and/or Part B during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP). The IEP is based on age and begins three months before and end three months after your 65th birthday.
Alternatively, if you have insurance through an employer, you may be able to delay your initial enrollment. This is only the case if the company you work for employs at least 20 full-time employees. Your special enrollment period begins when you leave your job or you lose your employer-sponsored health coverage, whichever comes first, and lasts for eight months.
If you miss your Initial Enrollment Period, you need to wait until the General Enrollment Period to sign up for Part A and/or Part B. The General Enrollment Period happens once a year from January 1 to March 31.
Do not assume your current plan is the best plan for you. Too many seniors fall victim to convenience and take the easy route when a change in plans could mean better, more affordable care. Costs change. Coverage changes. Your health changes. It is in your best interest to do a little shopping around every year.
If you are not sure where to turn to for help, you can compare different plans at medicare.gov/find-a-plan. You may also consider reaching out to your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for advice.
I Missed Obamacare Open Enrollment. What Now?

Remembering the School Fire – 40 Years On
The devastating fire that raged through our Main Building in the early hours of Sunday 3 March 1979 will be forever etched in the memories of all the boys, staff, firefighters and eye witnesses who were present on that fateful night. The fire destroyed 30 classrooms and 90% of the school, but that did not stop the Head Master of the time, Mr Ian 'CIM' Jones, running lessons as normal the following day and leaving a legacy of stoicism and resilience which remains woven into the fabric of our school ethos today.
On the 40th anniversary of the fire, around 130 Old Bedfordians, past staff members, firefighters, parents, past parents and local residents gathered for a special Evensong service in our chapel to remember that fateful night. We were honoured to welcome the Revd Michael Hepworth back to school to give the sermon – Revd Hepworth was our school Chaplain at the time of the fire and he shared his vivid memories from the night, and also from the days that followed, describing the marvellous operation put in place to get the school back up and running for the Monday morning (you can read his full sermon here) Hymns from the service the day after the fire were chosen including 'Jerusalem', which was sung with much gusto by the congregation. It was a blustery evening and the chapel windows and doors whistled and creaked as a gale blew around outside, in stark contrast to the warmth of the community who had gathered within its walls.
The service was followed by drinks and canapés served in the Great Hall, which proved a poignant yet heartening reminder of how the Main Building and the school has risen since the fire. Some guests brought their own memorabilia along with them to add to the display of archive material, which included photos, books, newspaper cuttings and paintings. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to share their memories of that night and the days that followed. Firefighters told how all of the Fire Stations in Bedfordshire contributed to tackling the fire and described the incredible task they had to keep the fire contained. Everyone had their own story to tell and all were hugely fascinating. Lower Sixth Formers Jack O'Donovan and Oliver Burridge-Dean recorded many of these stories so that they can be stored in the school's archives for future generations wishing to research the story of the fire.
The assembled guests also watched a short film put together by the school, which recounted the story of the fire. It included original footage from the fire interwoven with interviews from firefighters and eye witnesses, including local residents and past parents, Christopher and Jean Brown. It was Christopher who took those iconic colour photos of the fire that we know today. The film culminated with the Head Master's address to the school on the Monday after the fire – a powerful, Churchillian and inspirational speech. You can view the film here:
The school would like to express their thanks to everyone who came to the event. The fantastic turn-out is testament to the strength of the school and local community.

I live in a southwest facing manufactured home w/ little(no) shade in the front yard. The sun bakes the paint off my front door even in the winter. Does anyone have any low cost, doable ideas for how to harness this solar energy ? I feel like I could heat all 2000 sq. ft. of my home with it if I could.
Be sure you check with your utility company as well as state or local renewable energy office to find out what rebates may be available as well. There are many programs that can help reduce the costs of the installation.


By what little I understand about opening a small entertainment business in Germany, it's task that is much more challenging than normal. As a testament to that, we first mentioned GameOn Berlin nearly four years ago, when they were first seeking crowdfunding to bring their ambitious plan to fruition. Now, that has finally come to pass, at least as an "exclusive events venue" (aka, they are not a facility you can just walk into and play whenever). If you do book an event or attend one of their open functions, then you can enjoy console, PC, VR and board games along with video arcade titles. Those include several titles imported from Japan: Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX, Gundam pods, H2Overdrive, Taiko No Tatsujin and more. Visit their website here.
Thanks to Nathan for the tip on this one last month. New Zealand isn't a place that we hear about too many arcades opening their doors but if you are in or near Auckland, you can get your arcade fix with the new GameOn!. Not related to GameOn Berlin (as far as I know). They are operating a modern arcade that is mixed with both redemption, video games and even amusement VR such as We Play VR (Namco) and Overtake VR. For the standard arcade machines, they have DDR (2017), Maximum Tune 5DX+, Pump It Up Prime 2018, The Walking Dead and more. Check out their website here.
This is one mentioned back in January and a couple of weeks ago, they finally opened their doors. Their game selection includes around 15 titles such as Area 51, Big Buck Wild, Golden Axe, the first two Mortal Kombats, NBA Jam, Rampage, Street Fighter II, X-Men and the illustrious Killer Queen. They also have several pinball machines, including three different Star Treks from 1979 to 2013 (they must really be fans), Game Of Thrones Pro, Hook, Spider-Man Vault Edition, and Stargate among others. Their Facebook page can be found here and if I can find the time, I'll drop by there one of these days.
Brady Starburst (a major distributor in Canada), continues to expand their location operations within the country, announcing another Rec Room establishment, this time in Winnipeg. The Rec Room will be a part of Seasons Of Tuxedo, a major shopping district in the city. The facility will feature 40,000 sq. ft. of out-of-home amusements, including various food options, VR, bowling, ping pong and the hottest new trend in FECs, axe throwing. The venue will have 110 arcade games, judging by other Rec Rooms, you're probably looking at everything being recent. Read more about it at Blooloop.
For a couple of items of approaching openings, Dave & Busters' SLC location has been announced as opening on May 14th. It is down at the Gateway Mall as the first part of a major $100 million renovation of said mall.
Mentioned back in February, construction has begun on the 810 Conway FEC in Conway, SC.
An FEC is coming to Nagpur, India but details are very scant at this point.
That's all I've managed to find for now. If you find yourself near any of these facilities (such as myself with the two mentioned locations in Utah), then be sure to hit them up as soon as you can!
We finally have a Round1 in Northeast Ohio! That's really exciting!
WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN OPENING DATE FOR D&B! man oh man i hope it lasts. GameWorks didn't do very well, and I want a good arcade, not Boondocks. I heard The Rush up in Syracuse has a decent arcade floor, but I haven't been to Syracuse since junior high… we'll see, I guess.
Yes, it's hard to do a video game arcade in Germany. The market is very small. We usually only have slot machines and pool billiards here, and maybe some old pinball tables. Until the middle of the 90's we had many video games, too.

A New Style of Videogame?
Fri, 10/06/2006 - 11:26am — Bill Loguidice
Characters and Visuals from Cecropia's "The Act"While industry analysts such as myself, and others like legendary developers Chris Crawford and Richard Garriott (AKA "Lord British") have been proponents of exploring sophisticated themes in gaming, be they mature, emotional or something else entirely, few games have actually bothered to make a legitimate attempt. Those that have, such as "Facade" have been more miss than hit in execution. A company called Cecropia has finally come out of stealth/start-up mode and been getting a lot of press lately about their first "experimental" game, "The Act", identified as an interactive comedic film experience. What seems to make this a bit different from the usual indie developer spin on things is that the company was started in conjunction with a bunch of former Disney animators, giving the experience legitimate visual impact, while the gameplay is designed around a simple knob to manipulate the emotions, personality and actions of the player's avatar.

Woodcarver Jerome Sanderson
Jerome Sanderson
"I feel like my art is part of my ministry," says woodcarver Jerome Sanderson.
Jerome is an intriguing combination of traits. He's quiet and contemplative, as befits an ordained Orthodox minister, but he talks animatedly about his woodcarving work. He loves music and plays a robust brand of bluegrass. He and his family relish the rugged self-sufficiency of their hilltop life in northern Brown County, yet he frequently travels throughout the United States.
His wood pieces are mostly of a religious nature now, although he still does some face lamps, bear lamps, and fireplace mantles. He creates icons and ornamental Orthodox Church furnishings. Presently, he's working on a crèche for a family.
Sanderson feels the modern world strongly needs art that is spiritually inspired. There is too much disharmony and ugly visual pollution out there in big cities. Beautiful handcrafted art connects a person to the grace and prayerfulness that goes into producing the work.
Basswood is one of Sanderson's favorite materials for carving. He also likes oak, cherry, and poplar. He orders much of his wood from an Indianapolis supplier and grows some on his 28-acre Brown County property.
Sanderson often delivers his finished pieces to his clients, driving to distant states. In addition, he studies with an art teacher in Chicago for two days every two weeks.
He was born in Ohio and raised in Washington, D.C. "I played in rock bands in the 1960s, but as I came into the religious life that wasn't quite appropriate," he explains. "I played fiddle and mandolin in ensembles for folk dances and other events where young men and women could meet in a chaste, clean way."
He began carving in 1973 while he was working at a health food store in Milwaukee. "We had these giant carrots and I just started carving faces on them. My next step was carving a duck out of balsa wood." While living on a ranch in Santa Rosa, California in the late 1970s, he made his first crèche.
For a time, he owned a sign company in Indianapolis, which he sold to his partner. He still collaborates on some sign projects for the business.
Sanderson frequently paints icons of African saints. "Sometimes black people are told that Christianity isn't a natural faith for them, that it is a white man's religion," he says. "I want to let them know that a great deal of its development took place in Africa, such as St. Anthony the Great and monasticism."
Sanderson, his wife, and children are all quite musical. His oldest son is studying violin at the Indiana University School of Music, and the other three are enrolled in I.U.'s pre-college program. While they are highly trained in classical performance they play bluegrass and fiddle folk tunes from various European cultures with great zeal. The family often performs at area nursing homes.
The Brown County Orthodox congregation, Christ the Savior Orthodox Church, meets on Saturdays at its Nashville bookstore, St. John the Barefoot. It currently has 20 members.
The Sanderson homestead is reachable by either of two steep dirt driveways. Only a sturdy vehicle such as Sanderson's Jeep is capable of making it all the way. Upon arriving home, Sanderson steps inside the barn and fires up his main generator and the lights come on. The family also has wind generators and solar panels. Various kinds of animals meander about everywhere one looks: a rooster on the porch, a collie in the living room, rabbits in a back room, horses in the stable. The sound of one rehearsing young musician or another generally fills the air.
"I take breaks from my woodcarving a few times a day and just walk around the land and pray," says Sanderson. "I'll see light filter through tree branches in a particular way and think—the art that humans create only hints at the magnificence of this."
Sanderson's work can be viewed at
<www.sandersonwoodcarver.com>. He can be contacted at (317) 797-9508. Some of his work can be found in Nashville's Antique Alley shops Through the Looking Glass and the Sassafras Digger, and at Big River.

Amazon's Simple Storage System (S3) provides a simple, cost-effective way to store static files. This tutorial shows how to configure Django to load and serve up static and media files, public and private, via an Amazon S3 bucket.
Before beginning, you will need an AWS account. If you're new to AWS, Amazon provides a free tier with 5GB of S3 storage.
Although you could use the AWS root user, it's best for security to create an IAM user that only has access to S3 or to a specific S3 bucket. What's more, by setting up a group, it makes it much easier to assign (and remove) access to the bucket. So, we'll start by setting up a group with limited permissions and then create a user and assign that user to the group.
Be sure to replace your-bucket-name with the actual name. Then, detach the "AmazonS3FullAccess" policy from the group and attach the new policy.
Take note of the keys.
You should be able to upload an image, and then view the image at http://localhost:1337/mediafiles/IMAGE_FILE_NAME.
The radio buttons, for public vs. private, do not work. We will be adding this functionality in later in this tutorial. Ignore them for now.
Want to learn how to build this project? Check out the Dockerizing Django with Postgres, Gunicorn, and Nginx blog post.
Next, install django-storages, to use S3 as the main Django storage backend, and boto3, to interact with the AWS API.
The USE_S3 environment variable is used to turn the S3 storage on (value is TRUE) and off (value is FALSE). So, you could configure two Docker compose files - one for development with S3 off and the other for production with S3 on.
The STATICFILES_STORAGE setting configures Django to automatically add static files to the S3 bucket when the collectstatic command is run.
Review the official django-storages documentation for more info on the above settings and config.
Don't forget to update AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY with the user keys that you just created along with the AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME.
This will automatically collect the static files (via the entrypoint.sh file). It should take much longer than usual since it is uploading them to the S3 bucket.
Media uploads will still hit the local filesystem since we've only configured S3 for static files. We'll work with media uploads shortly.
Finally, update the value of USE_S3 to FALSE and re-build the images to make sure that Django uses the local filesystem for static files. Once done, change USE_S3 back to TRUE.
To prevent users from overwriting existing static files, media file uploads should be placed in a different subfolder in the bucket. We'll handle this by creating custom storage classes for each type of storage.
With the DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE setting now set, all FileFields will upload their content to the S3 bucket. Review the remaining settings before moving on.
Next, let's make a few changes to the upload app.
Essentially, we created a temporary, signed URL that users can access for a specific period of time. You won't be able to access it directly, without the parameters.
This post walked you through how to create a bucket on Amazon S3, configure an IAM user and group, and set up Django to upload and serve static files and media uploads to and from S3.
Let us know if we missed anything or if you have any other tips and tricks. You can find the final code in the django-docker-s3 repo.


Personality Development means enhancing and grooming one's outer and inner self to bring about a positive change in your life. Each individual has a distinct persona that can be developed, polished and refined. This Finishing School Program includes boosting one's confidence, improving communication and language speaking abilities, widening one's scope of knowledge, developing certain hobbies or skills, learning fine etiquettes and manners, adding style and grace to the way one looks, talks and walks and overall imbibing oneself with positivity, liveliness, and peace. In outcome, you will be a magnetic & vital personality.
[ultimate_modal modal_title="Achieving Your Goals" modal_on="text" read_text="Read More" overlay_bg_opacity="80″]Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.
Many people are familiar with the scene of the child standing in front of dad, just bursting to tell him what happened in school that day. Unfortunately, dad has the paper in front of his face and even when he drops the paper down half-way, it is visibly apparent that he is not really listening.
A student solved the problem of getting dad to listen from behind his protective paper wall. Her solution was to say, "Move your face, dad, when I'm talking to you." This simple solution will force even the poorest listener to adopt effective listening skills because it captures the essence of good listening.

This hand colored map depicts the western half of the United States including Texas, Arizona, California, Utah and Nevada. The map was made in 1864 by the English mapmaker Mackenzie. It shows Arizona extending into what is today Southern Nevada. Utah has two important cities, Fillmore and Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is the capital. The Dakotas remain undivided.


PITTSBURGH - For the second straight week, coach Mike Tomlin has demoted a starter on the Steelers' offense.
Last week, it was wide receiver Hines Ward who lost his starting job to Antonio Brown.
This week, it will be left guard Chris Kemoeatu who's losing his starting job to Doug Legursky.
"I guess so," Legursky said after practice Wednesday when asked if he'll be the starter Sunday night when the Steelers (7-3) play the Chiefs (4-6) in Kansas City. "I got a lot of work with the ones today."
Legursky started the first three games of the season at right guard before suffering a shoulder injury in the Sept. 25 game in Indianapolis. That kept him out of the next game in Houston.
A week later in the Oct. 10 game against Tennessee, Legursky moved into the starting lineup at left guard when Kemoeatu was hobbled with a sore and swollen knee. But in the Oct. 16 game against Jacksonville, Legursky suffered a dislocated toe that kept him out of three games.
He played in a reserve role in the Nov. 13 game in Cincinnati. But now, he's a starter again.
"I feel real good," Legursky said. "I'm ready to get back out there."
With a $1 million base salary, Kemoeatu is the highest-paid offensive lineman on the Steelers; roster. While he has been bothered this season with a gimpy knee, his performance has been average at best according to his coaches.

País subdesenvolvido, país menos avançado ou país menos desenvolvido (LDCs sigla ) são países que, de acordo com a Organização das Nações Unidas, apresentam os mais baixos indicadores de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e humano entre todos os países do mundo. Um país é classificado como um país menos desenvolvido se preencher três critérios com base em:

 Baixa renda (média trienal do PIB per capita de menos de 750 dólares, que deve ultrapassar 900 dólares para sair da lista)
 Fraqueza em recursos humanos (com base em indicadores de nutrição, saúde, educação e da alfabetização de adultos)
 Vulnerabilidade econômica (com base na instabilidade da produção agrícola, a instabilidade das exportações de bens e serviços, a importância econômica das actividades não tradicionais, exportar mercadoria concentrada, e desvantagens económicas, bem como a percentagem de população deslocada por desastres naturais)

Os países podem sair da classificação de LDC quando excederem esses critérios. O Escritório do Alto Representante das Nações Unidas para os Países Menos Desenvolvidos, Países em Desenvolvimento sem litoral e Pequenos Estados Insulares em Desenvolvimento das Nações Unidas coordena e fornece suporte para serviços de advocacia aos Países Menos Desenvolvidos. A classificação atualmente aplica-se a 46 países em todo o planeta.

Desclassificação
Os três critérios (ativos humanos, vulnerabilidade econômica e renda nacional bruta per capita) são avaliados pelo Comitê de Política de Desenvolvimento a cada três anos. Os países devem atender a dois dos três critérios em duas avaliações trienais consecutivas para serem considerados para a graduação. O Comitê de Política de Desenvolvimento envia suas recomendações para endosso ao Conselho Econômico e Social (ECOSOC).

Desde o surgimento da categoria LDC, uma região e seis países graduaram para países em desenvolvimento. O primeiro país a graduar foi o Botsuana em 1994. O segundo país foi o Cabo Verde em 2007. Maldivas graduou-se para país em desenvolvimento no dia 1 de janeiro de 2011, Samoa graduou em 2014, a Guiné Equatorial em 2017 e Vanuatu em dezembro de 2020. Butão irá graduar em 2023 e São Tomé e Príncipe e as Ilhas Salomão irão deixar a categoria em 2024. Nepal foi selecionado para ser considerado país em desenvolvimento em 2018, no entanto, as autoridades nepalesas solicitaram o adiamento da classificação, na qual ocorrerá em novembro de 2026; esperava-se que Angola se formasse em 2021, mas o período preparatório foi prolongado por mais três anos devido às dificuldades econômicas do país e à sua dependência de commodities, o que mostra que o lugar se graduará em 2024; Bangladesh atendeu aos critérios de graduação da classificação pela primeira vez em 2018 e completou os critérios em 2021, porém irá se formar em 2026, dois anos a mais que o previsto pelo Departamento de Assuntos Econômicos e Sociais das Nações Unidas devido à pandemia da COVID-19; o Laos irá se graduar em novembro de 2026 e o Camboja também deve se graduar do status, mas em 2027.

De acordo com o LDC Portal - International Support Measures for Least Developed Countries (em português: Portal LDC - Medidas de Apoio Internacional para Países Menos Desenvolvidos), do site da própria ONU, outros países que se aproximam da graduação além dos que já estão oficialmente na lista são: Comores, Djibuti, Kiribati, Myanmar, Senegal, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu e Zâmbia.

Além desses países, há outras localidades que já atingiram algum critério para se graduar da classificação e estão elegíveis para sair da mesma até o ano de 2024, que são o caso de Djibuti e Myanmar e era o caso do Afeganistão antes da conquista talibã no país em agosto de 2021.

Q: plotting interactive Dendrogram with an unequal Heatmap using plotly python in jupyter notebook I'm trying to plot an interactive dendrogram with an unequal heatmap on jupyter notebook using Plotly package that would look like this one.

My example data called dataHeat_arr is numpy.ndarray, which has 75 rows (samples called S0 till S74) and 100 columns (Metabolites  called M0 till M99) and available in the link.
In the link there are 3 csv files.

*

*dataHeat_arr.csv - the numpy.ndarray 75*100

*name_molec.csv - list of metbolite named M0, M1,... till M99

*Samplenum.csv - list of samples named S0, S1,... till S74

I based my code on the example from her and made some changes since my the heatmat is unequale.
Also tried questoins Plotly clustered heatmap (with dendrogram)/Python

I do not know what I'm doning worng by the finale figure is missig the heat map.
only when ploting with equale heatmap I manage to plot the heatmap with the dendrogram.
her is my code.
Import packges:
import plotly.figure_factory as ff
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(1)
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import string
from itables import init_notebook_mode
from itables import show
import cimcb_lite as cb
import plotly.graph_objects as go
init_notebook_mode(all_interactive=True)

Initialize figure by creating upper dendrogram:
# name the samples S0 till S74

# Samplenum & name_molec are csv files in the link of Github and should be treated as lists
labels = Samplenum
dataHeat_arr_t= np.transpose(dataHeat_arr)

# Initialize figure by creating upper dendrogram
fig = ff.create_dendrogram(dataHeat_arr, orientation='bottom', labels=labels)

# fig = ff.create_dendrogram(dataHeat_arr_t, orientation='bottom', labels=name_molec[:100] ) ,labels=name_molec[:100]

for i in range(len(fig['data'])):
    fig['data'][i]['yaxis'] = 'y2'

Then Create Side Dendrogram:
# Create Side Dendrogram

dendro_side = ff.create_dendrogram(dataHeat_arr_t, orientation='right' ,labels=name_molec[:100])
# dendro_side = ff.create_dendrogram(dataHeat_arr, orientation='right', labels=labels)
for i in range(len(dendro_side['data'])):
    dendro_side['data'][i]['xaxis'] = 'x2'

# Add Side Dendrogram Data to Figure
for data in dendro_side['data']:
    fig.add_trace(data)

Create Heatmap:
heatmap = [
    go.Heatmap(
        x = name_molec[:100],
        y =labels ,
        z = dataHeat_arr,
        colorscale = 'Cividis'
    )
]

Add Heatmap Data to Figure:
for data in heatmap:
    fig.add_trace(data)

Now layout:
# Edit Layout
fig.update_layout({'width':1500, 'height':750,
                         'showlegend':False, 'hovermode': 'closest',
                         })
# Edit xaxis
fig.update_layout(xaxis={'domain': [.15, 1],

                                  'showgrid': False,
                                  'showline': False,
                                  'zeroline': False,
                                  'ticks':""})

# Edit xaxis2
fig.update_layout(xaxis2={'domain': [0, .15],
                                   'mirror': False,
                                   'showgrid': False,
                                   'showline': False,
                                   'zeroline': False,
                                   'showticklabels': False,
                                   'ticks':""})

# Edit yaxis
fig.update_layout(yaxis={'domain': [0, .85],
                                  'mirror': False,
                                  'showgrid': False,
                                  'showline': False,
                                  'zeroline': False,
                                  'showticklabels': False,
                                  'ticks': ""
                        })

# Edit yaxis2
fig.update_layout(yaxis2={'domain':[0.852, 0.975],
                                   'mirror': False,
                                   'showgrid': False,

                                   'showticklabels': False,
                                   'ticks':""})

fig.show()

for some reason the plot looks like that:

Any idea/ hint will be usfull and appriciated!

A: The correct code to plot heatmap with dendrogram on both y-axis an x-aixs:
Initialize figure by creating upper dendrogram:
Samplenum = ["S" + str(x) for x in idx]
labels = Samplenum
dataHeat_arr_t= np.transpose(dataHeat_arr)
# Initialize figure by creating upper dendrogram

# The line below was changed comparing to my question
fig = ff.create_dendrogram(dataHeat_arr_t, orientation='bottom', labels=name_molec[:99] )

for i in range(len(fig['data'])):
    fig['data'][i]['yaxis'] = 'y2'

Create Side Dendrogram

# The line below was changed as well comparing to my question
dendro_side = ff.create_dendrogram(dataHeat_arr, orientation='right', labels=["S" + str(x) for x in idx])
for i in range(len(dendro_side['data'])):
    dendro_side['data'][i]['xaxis'] = 'x2'

# Add Side Dendrogram Data to Figure
for data in dendro_side['data']:
    fig.add_trace(data)

Create Heatmap:
heatmap = [
    go.Heatmap(
        x = name_molec[:99],
        y =labels ,
        z = dataHeat_arr,
        colorscale = 'Cividis'
    )
]

These 4 lines are new ( were not in my question):
heatmap[0]['x'] = fig['layout']['xaxis']['tickvals']
heatmap[0]['y'] = dendro_side['layout']['yaxis']['tickvals']

# to tickes text on y-axis as well
fig['layout']['yaxis']['ticktext'] = np.asarray(labels)
fig['layout']['yaxis']['tickvals'] = np.asarray(dendro_side['layout']['yaxis']['tickvals'])

Most of the layout code stays the same but :showticklabels': True
# Edit yaxis
fig.update_layout(yaxis={'domain': [0, .7],
                                  'mirror': False,
                                  'showgrid': False,
                                  'showline': False,
                                  'zeroline': False,
                                  'showticklabels': True,
                                  'ticks': ""
                        })

The output looks more like the picture at beginning of my question.

I was fortunate to welcome 2016 from atop St. Michael's new steeple and come away with several images from this unique location. I've shared a few looking out towards the harbor and looking down Hooper Street. As dawn's light broke free of the thick clouds near the horizon, the cupola of Grace Community Church was illuminated briefly. I quickly switched to a vertical orientation and captured this close up view of the cupola with soft light in the distance.


Hello my name is Kirk Billingsley and my aortic dissection occurred in my sleep. I was to travel to California for business the following morning and I went to bed early after feeling a strange pain in my neck. I do not remember anything after that point. I woke my wife in the middle of the night with what she had said were gurgling sounds.
Paramedics were called and I had already released my bowels and was being resuscitated. I was taken to a local hospitals ER that was not a trauma 1 site and was immediately flown by copter to the nearest trauma 1 hospital, the largest in the state. I was very lucky that the ER docs at my local hospital diagnosed my illness correctly and early on. I had flat lined when I hit the table just after landing where a team of surgeons began surgery. My tear was repaired, then I was opened again due to massive blood clotting and additional tearing. Somehow in IR I developed compartment syndrome in my right leg and it was a few days later that I had my leg amputated above the knee.
I remember none of this up to that point. I was in the hospital for 30 days. As you can imagine, this was quite a hard time for my family. My children both in middle and high school had to work through this ordeal as of course my wife did as well. I have always felt a certain amount of guilt having putting them through this. I learned to work with a prosthesis very well to the K4 level and even relearned to snow ski on two skis. I continued on as a regional v.p of sales for a few years but the traveling and pain in my residual leg was too great and took another position working at home with the same company.
I have since had my aortic valve replaced and after my last CAT I've been told it is failing and I have a 4.8cm aneurysm not too far from my repaired area. I see a Cardio doc at a children hospital that also studies and treats adult connective tissue disorders.
Kirk, thank you for your story. You've really been through it and you sound quite low. If you would like to talk to me (no charge), I am a fellow sufferer (http://aorticdissection.com/2015/01/09/7000/) and a trained counselor.
I understand the issues and fears as I have children too.

Q: Append ".backup" to all files, folders and subfolders in Powershell 2.0 I want to append ".backup" to all file and folder names (including subfolders and files in subfolders) using Powershell v2.0.
I came up with this script:
$origin = get-childItem -recurse | ?{ !( $_.name -like "*.backup" ) }
$folders = $origin | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer }
$files =  $origin | ?{ ! $_.PSIsContainer }
$files | rename-item -force -newname { $_.name + '.backup' }
$folders | rename-item -force -newname { $_.name + '.backup' }

But I get this error for many items, stating the path is wrong:
Rename-Item : Cannot rename because item at 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::E:\backup\test.backup\subfolder.backup\proc 1\backup\example.docx' does not exist.
At line:1 char:21
+ $files | rename-item <<<<  -force -newname { $_.name + '.backup' }
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Rename-Item], PSInvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperation,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RenameItemCommand

But such file (example.docx) exists at that path, nonetheless.
Why is that error thrown? And what is the correct code for appending '.backup' to files and folders in PS 2.0? Thanks for any ideas!
EDIT: I don't think my question is a duplicate of When renaming a file with PowerShell, how do I handle filenames with "["? for 2 reasons: 1- the aims are different (just look at the titles); 2- that thread doesn't provide me code to do what I want, even though it's a good starting point (that's why I had linked to it in my answer). My question might be irrelevant but it took me some hours to figure out, so maybe I can spare someone some hours of frustration. But my question is badly formulated, I'll rework it now.

A: I found out it's a bug in Powershell prior to v. 3.0 in the Rename-Item cmdlet (see: When renaming a file with PowerShell, how do I handle filenames with "["? ). The only work around I found is to use Move-Item instead.
Here's the full script I came up with:
$path = 'E:\backup'
$origin = get-childItem -path $path -recurse -exclude *.backup
$folders = $origin | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer }
$files =  $origin | ?{ ! $_.PSIsContainer }
$files | %{ move-item -force -literalpath $_.fullname -destination ($_.fullname + '.backup') }
$folders | sort-object -descending -property fullname | %{ move-item -force -literalpath $_.fullname -destination ($_.fullname + '.backup') }

Anyone has a better code? Otherwise I'll mark it as "solved".

Spider-Man 2 vs. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse: Which Film Reigns Supreme?
Jeffrey Bowie Jr. 1 month ago
In less than two months, the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy will come to a close and the Marvel film is a hotly anticipated sequel thus far. When looking back at the mainstream Spider-Man films starting back at Sam Raimi's first feature in 2002, the top Spider-Man movie in the entire saga is Spider-Man 2 – which currently has a 93% on rotten tomatoes – and Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse – which currently has a 97%. Based off the rotten tomatoes score, it appears that the 2018 animated feature reigns supreme; however, is Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse truly better than Spider-Man 2? Let's examine the strengths and weaknesses of both movies.
Spider-Man 2 is regarded as the best live-action version of the popular comic book hero for good reason. The 2004 feature isn't just another generic superhero flick that satisfies the simple needs of comic book movies, it taps into the emotional core of both the protagonist and villain. The film does an excellent job of showcasing how Peter's life has drastically changed since he turned into the masked hero. We connect with Peter Parker even more because his problems are very relatable. I'll make a bold statement and proclaim that Alfred Molina's Dr. Otto Octavius is the best Spider-Man villain to grace the big screen. Octavius isn't just another bad guy who wants to take over the world. His story is personal, and what's even better is the complexity of the man himself. Octavius isn't committing all those crimes for his personal amusement; he's being controlled by his mechanical arms. However, the man under those arms feels that he needs to get his fusion power project correct, or else the death of his wife would've been for nothing. The film does an excellent job of balancing its messages and themes without beating the audience over the head with it. Sure, Spider-Man 2 dives a bit into the melodrama sometimes; however, the film wisely doesn't go overboard with the sappy elements. Plus, there's plenty of great action sprinkled throughout the film. Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight are the standards of what comic book films should be; A movie that blends action, drama, and a cohesive narrative seamlessly.
The biggest strength that Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse has is that it opts to tell a different story. This time, we're following Miles Morales, and since his journey is a bit different than Peter Parker's, we're getting a fresh prospective on a familiar comic. The animation for this film is simply breathtaking. However, once you get past the stunning visuals, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a great movie in its own right. Granted, the hero origin story is played out at this point, but the film doesn't settle into one of these tropes too much and it's great that this is more of a personal film than the set-up of another superhero movie. The story of Miles feeling pressure from his parents, namely his dad is a relatable one and it helps that the performances of Shameik Moore and Bryan Tyree Henry really draw you into their world. Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), doesn't necessarily have the complexity of Spider-Man 2's Dr. Otto Octavius; however, he's still a solid antagonist for Morales. More importantly, Kingpin feels different from Venom, Green Goblin, Lizard, and even Dr. Ock, making him stand out as a good villain even more.
Of course, I can't forget the inclusion of Spider-Ham, Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, Spider Noir, and Peni Parker; This film could've easily gone into a chaotic, convoluted mess that would've damaged Miles Morales' debut to mainstream audiences. Thankfully, the introduction into the multi-verse is smooth and more importantly, Morales is never overshadowed despite the abundance of different characters. This plot creates an exciting portal for the Spider-Man universe and each character is given their moment to shine. Surprisingly, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse never feels crowded and the dynamic between all the characters is highly entertaining. For an origin film, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse transcends how these types of comic book movies should be done. It manages to introduce a compelling character, with a unique story that helps create a bigger and colorful world in the Spider-Man universe. This is an achievement that the non-Tom Holland films continuously struggled with.
So, which Spider-Man film reigns supreme as the best feature to date? I'll give this one to Spider-Man 2. Both films are nearly flawless in their execution; however, Spider-Man 2 is given the edge due to how deeply layered the live-action spectacle turns out to be. Of course, with Spider-Man: No Way Home and Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse 2 coming out soon, this title can easily change to another entry.


Testing--sometimes tedious, but certainly necessary. Maybe it should it be the basis of your approach to coding.
The fundamental idea of test driven development is to write tests before writing the code to be tested. As the code is written, and you'll have immediate confirmation of whether or not a new chunk of code is completely functional, close to working, a complete disaster. In the most rigorous application, you write a single test, watch it fail, then write the implementation code that makes that single test pass, and then repeat.
Writing tests before writing code tests your design--first of all, is it actually testable in the first place? But more importantly, do the interfaces you've created at actually make sense? Once you start to use a your work, you often notice subtle issues that are hard to catch during design. Writing or designing tests gives you a chance to see how someone will interact with your work, and this added perspective can be very helpful. For instance, if you were designing a string class and it takes four lines of code to convert a string into an integer, that might be an indication that your design isn't making common use cases easy. While this might come up during a discussion of the design, the consequences will be far more obvious when writing fifteen tests with the same bad interface. Tests also give you a way to measure progress of implementation. If you write your tests such that unimplemented code will fail, then you can check out implementation successes as your tests start to succeed.
Notice that this test relies on both the add and peek functions. In general, you'd like to avoid relying on a function you haven't tested to test another function. On the other hand, sometimes you simply must test pairs of functions--or rely on very simple getters or setters. If you have a particularly complicated set of functions that must all work correctly for you test to work, you may wish to make your unit tests friends of the class being tested so that they can check the internal data structures themselves for evidence of correctness.
This example test case was quite simple, and it's best to start off by testing the smallest pieces of functionality first, and then build tests for more complex functionality on top of them. But you may also wish to make more complex tests for simple functions. Adding one element to a heap may work correctly, but adding three elements and removing them in order may be a mini-Waterloo.
If your program is too "tightly coupled" (i.e., interdependent), you may run into issues where you need large portions of your program working before you can start unit testing. For instance, in the heap example, if your obj class requires a lot of sophisticated initialization it may be very hard to test the heap without getting obj up and running. You might, nevertheless, like to be able to implement the heap without having a full obj class. In this case, you might decide to create a subclass of obj that has a simpler implementation, but that can provide a simplified version of the functionality needed by the heap.
Unit tests also make it easier to reuse code. How's that? Let's say you didn't unit test your heap code, and you later decided that you needed exactly the same heap implementation in another program. Much to your chagrin, that program breaks once you start using your heap. You've already gotten a bit lucky in that you've isolated the problem to using the heap code, but you're still stuck figuring out exactly what is wrong with it. Now you're doing maintenance work when you'd really like to be writing a new program. By more thoroughly testing your program's pieces when you write them, you can fix problems when the code is fresh on your mind. This also means you can feel more comfortable sharing the code with others who might use parts of the code in ways that your original program never did during testing. One way to think about it is that unit tests give you a much better shot at exercising every code path, a path of execution through your code, than simple end-to-end testing.
What Doesn't Unit Testing Do?
Unit testing can't catch every problem. Issues sometimes arise in the integration of two components. Here, the program is not that the components don't work, but that they may have a fundamentally different understanding of the world. For instance, if you're using someone else's code, and you assume that their functions never frees pointers passed into them, but they do, then all of their unit tests might pass, but your code might not. Unit tests can only test that functions do what they say they do--you still have to write programs that use them in the proper way. Testing those programs is a whole new ball of wax because even if the program "works", that doesn't make it nice to look at, easy to learn, responsive or well-documented.
Unit tests are great reminders of your assumptions. Every time you change the code, if an old unit test fails, that's a sign that your change has reintroduced a bug. If your change reintroduced a bug, then it's quite possible that you've forgotten some assumption about the code being tested. Perhaps you rewrote a helper function and forgot that it could take negative numbers as arguments.
Unit tests should be a living part of your code. If you find a bug in a unit-testable part of your program, that's a good sign that you left out an important unit test. Add a unit test that would have caught that bug the first time, and you provide yourself more assurance that later modifications won't reintroduce it.
Once you've finally got all your tests passing, it's a good idea to keep them that way. If you get too complacent about a few failing tests, you might not notice when new tests start to fail. If you really want to keep around these test cases, you might be better off creating a filter that hides them from your normal view so that new failures show up unobscured by old ones.
Starting your program by thinking about how to test it might seem unnatural at first, but it has a certain satisfying quality to it. As soon as you implement a feature, you get to check off a test as a new success. It's good for your psyche, and, almost as good, it reminds you when you forget to implement a feature.

Q: Using CGLIB proxy with Ehcache CacheManager I want to use Spring AOP in my spring application. While creating AOP proxy for net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager, spring context initialization fails with the below exception:
nested exception is org.springframework.aop.framework.AopConfigException: Could not
generate CGLIB subclass of class [class net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager]: Common causes of
this problem include using a final class or a non-visible class; nested exception is
net.sf.cglib.core.CodeGenerationException: net.sf.ehcache.CacheException-->Another
unnamed CacheManager already exists in the same VM. Please provide unique names for
each CacheManager in the config or do one of following:
1. Use one of the CacheManager.create() static factory methods to reuse same
CacheManager with same name or create one if necessary
2. Shutdown the earlier cacheManager before creating new one with same name.
The source of the existing CacheManager is: InputStreamConfigurationSource
[stream=java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@955b34]

Here's my understanding about this problem - Spring is trying to create AOP proxy for net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager, and it succeeds the first time and gives a default name to the CacheManager __DEFAULT__ (found this by adding debug statements to ehcache code, building it by source and using that in my application). Now if I've multiple cache managers like 'abcCacheManager' and 'xyzCacheManager' (of type EhCacheManagerFactoryBean), Spring encounters multiple net.sf.ehcache.CacheManagers and tries to create proxy objects (something like net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$b18c5958) for all of them, but with EhCache >=2.5 version, we can't have more than one caches with same name under the same VM.
I'm using EhCache 2.5.1 and would like to avoid going back to 2.4 just for this purpose. I'm not sure if this is really the problem how I can overcome this problem.
Note: Note sure if this will help, but I also noticed from the debug statements that CacheManager no-arg constructor is invoked only by the spring/CGLIB proxy generator and xyzCacheManager invokes it by passing configuration as argument.

A: Note : I'm answering this myself as it may help others who face the same problem.
jeha's comment on my question makes sense as I shouldn't have needed that proxy at the first place, but since I'm new to Spring AOP and proxies, I didn't know how auto-proxy mechanism works. As I modified the pointcut expressions in my advice, I didn't face the above problem after that. Prior to this, almost all the beans in the container were getting proxied and hence the problem.

Seeing the statue of Christ the Redeemer, one of the seven wonders of the world, was my main reason for visiting Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It was my 6th wonder to visit after the magnicient Petra in Jordan, the awesome Machu Picchu In Peru, the Great Wall of China, Chichen Itza in Mexico, and the Colosseum in Rome, I will be visiting India in 2023 to see the Taj Mahal to complete the list of the seven wonders of the world. One cannot forget the ancient wonder of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt – unbelievable structure!
The statue of Christ the Redeemer is situated at the top of Mount Corcovado. It can be reached by climbing the 220 steps to the top or by the lift and escalator. I chose the latter. I took a guided tour which in hindsight was not necessary as one can visit it easily. We took a train half way up the mountain to the lift and then the escalator. The little train was cute and it wound itself slowly up the side of the mountain. There was not much to see as there were trees in the line of sight. As we were going up the escalator, it was clearly evident that the visibility was poor but our guide remained optimistic.

Christ the Redeemer Statue
Seeing the statue of Christ the Redeemer was meant to be the highlight of my trip. In fact, in the the sole reason for going to Rio. Having got to the top, it was a disappointing view. The weather, poor visibility to be precise, prevented us from seeing the statue clearly. We could only see a silhouette of the statue – so, so disappointing.
Viewing platform at the top of the Corcovado Mountain
One of the two shots taken when the clouds cleared for a moment!
As we were all waiting to see if the weather would be kind to us, we heard the sound of a helicopter hovering above us. I became a little concerned at this stage as I'd wondered how a helicopter could fly under such conditions and even more worrying was it could fly into the crowd on the viewing platform where I was at the top of this mountain . And like a miracle, the clouds cleared and we could see very briefly but we were all too stunned to take photos. I just about caught these two shots.
This Chapel at the bottom of the statue was a surprise. A solitary priest saying the mass and the congregation standing outside - no room inside this chapel!
Mollywozhere photo, naturally!
Was it worth visiting Christ the Redeemer? It was not a nice experience for me but it would be a different experience for others. I visited Rio de Janeiro because I wanted to find out what made Christ the Redeemer statue special that it was voted one of the seven wonders of the world. I concluded that the history behind the Statue, its design and build are what makes it a top attraction in Brazil. Christ the Redeemer is almost a 100 years old, and it is the largest art deco statute of Jesus Christ in the world. It towers over Rio, with its outstretched arms, watching and protecting the city and its people.
Sugarloaf Mountain
The Sugarloaf Mountain is on the list of "must see landmark" in Rio de Janeiro for all sight seeing tours. It is accessible by cable car, and the first one takes you to Morro da Urca where there is a viewing platform and the usual tourists' cafes and shops. The second cable car takes you to the summit where you get a spectacular view of the beaches, Guanabara Bay and the peninsular that juts into the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike the Corcovado Mountain, the visibility on Sugarloaf Mountain was good, largely because the mountain is not as high as that of Corcovado.

Who is Matthew O'Neill? He's an amazing young man who was tragically killed at the age of 33 by a very young driver in Santa Maria, California on August 9, 2014. Matthew was a beloved son, a cherished older brother, a loving fiancé, an incredible nephew and cousin - and most of all, a kind, sweet, caring, giving and generous friend to everyone he knew. He had a law degree, was due to graduate with his PhD in the Spring of 2015 and he raised guide dogs. Matthew was a passionate randonneur (which is a long distance bicycle rider) who followed all road rules very fastidiously and was very safe. Please honor Matthew's legacy by simply Changing a Lane to Save a Life.
Matthew was born on the 16th of November, 1980. He was the first born child of Michael and Cheri O'Neill. He grew up in Chula Vista with his two younger brothers, Craig and Kevin.
Matthew suffered a severe bite from the learning bug early on that kept him in school for the 30 years. He began his academic journey at Halecrest Elementary School in kindergarten and through his 6th grade. While at Halecrest, Matthew became involved with Cub Scouts, Crossing Guard, and playing the trombone. Matthew then went on to Bonita Vista Middle School where he enjoyed band, school newspaper, and continued his academic pursuits. Matthew continued with Boy Scouts, rising the ranks and eventually becoming the Scout Leader for Troop 151 and later achieving the highest rank, Eagle Scout.
During his time at Bonita Vista High School, Matthew joined the Speech & Debate team, edited for the school newspaper, and was the student body commissioner for technology. His extra curricular activities in High School envigorated his thirst for knowledge and adventure and even afforded him the opportunities to travel to Washington, D.C., and Seattle, Wash. among many others.
He received his Bachelor of Arts from UC Santa Cruz in 2003 as a History major and Education minor focusing on early childhood social/psychological development. After graduation, Matthew worked with families of children with disabilities on Special Education issues through the Children's Rights Clinic at Whittier and other Southern California law firms. His interest in civil and disability rights issues centering on special education law and policy led him to pursuing his Juris Doctorate from Whittier College in 2009. Matthew was a Children's Rights Fellow and the Executive Editor of the Whittier Journal of Child and Family Advocacy.
Following his law degree, Matthew furthered his legal training by becoming Ph.D. student in Special Education, Disabilities, and Risk Studies at UC Santa Barbara.
