Wisconsin Libraries Transforming Communities application deadline is Jan. 10
The Public Library Development (PLD) team of Wisconsin's Department of Public Instruction is partnering with the American Library Association for a new state-level community engagement training, Wisconsin Libraries Transforming Communities.
Thriving Libraries, a team of consultants trained in community engagement and leadership development techniques, is providing the expertise for this 18-month hands on, cohort-based training. Up to 20 two-person teams -- consisting of one library staff member and one community member -- will be trained in this inaugural effort.
The community engagement training will result in:
Public libraries inspired to participate in communities in order to meet community needs on a local level.
Thorough understanding of community needs and future aspirations from diverse stakeholders.
Strong understanding of current community-based planning strategies in the library field and related fields.
Development and evolution of program and service offerings that serve community aspirations and needs.
Deeper relationships with communities that are typically underserved, underrepresented and underrecognized.
The Wisconsin Libraries Transforming Communities training relies also on raising up library leaders in coaching positions, and up to 10 individual coaches will be trained as part of this state-wide effort. Envisioned as an 18-month masterclass in authentic leadership, resilience, and self-care, coaches will be assigned two participant teams to cheerlead and shepherd through their library community engagement projects.
An informational webinar was offered Dec. 17 and a recording is available on the PLD website. It includes an overview of the training, expected time commitments, learning goals, and the requirements for the competitive application process for both Teams and Coaches.
Application materials for both teams and coaches are available on the Division for Libraries and Technology website. The application deadline is Friday, Jan. 10, 2020.
DLT funds statewide subscription to homelessness videos
Libraries want to provide the best possible service to all people, but some patron interactions require a more thoughtful and deliberate approach. To help library professionals better help all of their patrons, the Department of Public Instruction's Division for Libraries and Technology (DLT) has purchased a subscription to Ryan Dowd's Librarian's Guide to Homelessness training. This will replace the subscription purchased by the South Central Library System (SCLS) for the past several years. The virtual training will:
Give library staff more confidence working with patrons struggling with homelessness, mental illness or substance abuse.
Help your library remain an inclusive library, able to serve everyone.
Provide tools to achieve fewer problems and less conflict in your library.
Ryan, executive director of a large homeless shelter, trains libraries around the world on how to compassionately and effectively manage problematic behavior from troubled and traumatized individuals. The training teaches you the practical skills and tools to prevent and manage conflict with all patrons.
The training is three and a half hours long and is on-demand, so you can watch it little by little or in bigger chunks, whenever works for your schedule. The subscription goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020 and runs to the end of the calendar year.
Libraries that already have access through SCLS subscription can continue to use the subscription provided by DLT. If your library hasn't accessed the video library yet, please contact Jean Anderson at 608-246-5613.
End-of-the-summer CSLP survey
Wisconsin libraries had the highest response rate to the 2019 End-of-the-Summer Survey that was conducted by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). To read more about how libraries in our state responded to the survey, please see: 1) a one-page PDF "report card" summarizing the end-of-summer survey and, 2) Wisconsin public library ratings of materials created and provided by the CSLP.
Wisconsin participation in the nation-wide CSLP is facilitated by the Department of Public Instruction, Public Library Development team, and is provided by funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Madison Public Library's Pinney Library opening set for March 12, 2020
Madison Public Library's Pinney Library, currently located at an interim space at 211 Cottage Grove Road, will close to the public at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 16. The library will remain closed during the move to the new library on 516 Cottage Grove Road and will reopen to the public at 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 12 with an official ribbon cutting ceremony and resumption of regular service hours. A Grand Opening weekend will follow on March 14 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and March 15 (1 to 5 p.m.).
During the closure, items normally held for customers at the Pinney Library will move to the Hawthorne Library at 2707 East Washington Ave. and phones will be answered by other libraries with a short down time. Further details about the closure, temporary service changes, and grand opening events will be announced in late January.
"The Pinney Library is a much needed asset to the East Side, and the space design and service planning came about from an intensive community planning process," Library Director Greg Mickells said. "The expanded Pinney Library will allow us to serve more of the East Side community and meet demand for meeting spaces, technology, library resources, and expertise."
The new Pinney Library is located in Ruedebusch Development & Construction's Royster Corners mixed use development located at the intersection of Cottage Grove Road and Dempsey Road in a 20,000 square foot space. Construction on the building began in the spring 2018. Tri-North Builders will complete the interior construction as designed by OPN Architects in January 2020.
The new Pinney Library at Royster Corners features expanded seating and meeting spaces; improved spaces for children and teens, including a PlayLab space for young children ages 0-5; an outdoor space for events and programs; updated technology; a Studio for hands-on maker projects; a quiet reading area; permanent public art installations and temporary display space; and a drive-through book drop. The library will be a model building for sustainability, seeking LEED Silver certification achieved through energy efficiency measures, including geothermal energy, and use of energy efficient lighting and mechanical systems. The project also includes use of sustainable materials including locally harvested ash trees and encourages biking and use of public transportation.
"Sustainability is very much a part of our process when putting together beautiful new spaces like the new Pinney Library. It's important to our work in the Engineering Division as a whole," Engineering Division Project Manager Amy Scanlon said. "In addition to the vibrant colors, interesting spaces, and latest technology and resources in the new Pinney Library, the sustainable features we're proud of include the use of geothermal energy, efficient lighting and natural daylighting, and the use of reclaimed urban wood in the interior finishes."
Pinney Gala Feb. 29, 2020
Tickets are now on sale for the Love the Library Grand Opening Gala event on Feb. 29 from 6 to 10 p.m. The gala will be the first glimpse of the completed project, and the event will include food stations, beer and wine provided by east side restaurants, breweries and other businesses; musical entertainment by Angela Puerta, Leotha Stanley and Friends, and Lynda & The Zeros; an online silent auction, and more. Individual tickets are $175 or purchase a two-ticket Community Sponsor package for $500. Purchase online at mplfoundation.org.
Madison Public Library Foundation is responsible for raising $1.6 million toward the $10 million project. The gala and other fundraising efforts will help to raise $175,000 still needed to meet that goal. "Individuals, corporations and foundations have all been incredibly generous to support the new Pinney Library facility, programs and endowment" said Jenni Jeffress, Madison Public Library Foundation Executive Director. "The foundation is excited to be part of creating a new library with much more community space on the east side of Madison,"

ALA Community Engagement grant available
The American Library Association (ALA) invites library workers to apply for a new annual grant to support innovative and meaningful community engagement efforts in libraries.
The Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant will provide $2,000 for a school, public, academic, tribal or special library to expand its community engagement efforts. Libraries are invited to apply by designing and outlining activities for a library-led community engagement project.
Project activities to be covered by the grant may include developing community engagement programs and services; partnering with a community agency that builds the capacity of the community to address an important concern/issue; or creating a program or event that connects the library to a community-identified aspiration or concern.
Community engagement is the process of working collaboratively with community members -- be they library users, residents, faculty, students or local organizations -- to address issues for the betterment of the community.
Applications will be accepted through Feb. 3, 2020. View the full award guidelines and apply visit www.ala.org/LTCEG.
In May 2019, ALA announced that it had surpassed its original $50,000 fundraising goal to support the creation of the Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant, raising a total of $70,000 from 130 individuals. The initiative was made possible by a matching grant from former ALA president and longtime generous supporter Nancy Kranich.
"Thanks to our work in ALA, libraries of all types have unleashed the power of engaging their communities, working collaboratively to advance their aspirations and concerns, particularly for those voices rarely heard," said Kranich, a past president of ALA who teaches a new generation of civically focused librarians in the Masters of Information program at Rutgers University. "I'm grateful that so many people have stepped forward to join me in supporting this vital work. Together, we can ensure that more libraries develop and share innovative approaches that demonstrate what's possible when we turn outward toward our communities."
The Libraries Transform Communities Engagement Grant is part of Libraries Transform Communities (LTC), ALA's community engagement initiative. Since 2014, LTC has reimagined the role libraries play in supporting communities. Libraries of all types, from across the country, have utilized the free dialogue and deliberation training and resources to lead community and campus forums; take part in anti-violence activities; provide a safe space for residents to come together to discuss challenging topics; and have productive conversations with civic leaders, library trustees and staff. Learn more at www.ala.org/LTC.
LTC is administered by ALA's Public Programs Office.
Voices of Women in America Survey now available
The Voices of Women in America survey is designed to identify important social and public policy issues in communities across the United States that impact women's daily lives at home and in the workplace. The survey was created by the National Association of Commissions for Women (www.nacw.org) to collect the voices and views of women in diverse communities across the United States.
Nationally, the survey results will be compiled into a report delivered to the President, Congress and the nation outlining what American women have identified as their top concerns. Locally, the Women's Council will create a state-specific report to share with Wisconsin leaders and the public.
The survey is open through Jan. 31, 2020, available online in English and Spanish, and 100 percent anonymous. Responses to nearly all the questions asked are "optional," so if there is a question someone does not want to answer they can still complete the survey.
About the Wisconsin Women's Council
The Wisconsin Women's Council, established in 1983, is Wisconsin's state government commission on the status of women and girls. A 15-person board of directors, appointed by the Governor and leaders in the Wisconsin State Legislature. As a state agency, we work to empower women, serve as a clearinghouse for information on programs and resources, conduct independent research on the status of women, and engage in unique partnerships public, private and non-profit organizations to address barriers and inequalities affecting Wisconsin women.

Be a test library for the Library Privacy Guides project
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has created a project team and funded a Privacy Advocacy Guides for Libraries project that is looking for a few school, public, and academic libraries to test out and provide feedback on one or more of the newly-created guides.
What is the project?
IMLS is creating a series of guides that focus on tangible, hands-on techniques for better protecting your library's privacy and/or the privacy of your users. Topics of guides so far include privacy audits, data life cycle, and staff training. You can see more details in the IMLS proposal submission.
IMLS is looking for a group of test libraries to try out its guides in real world situations for up to three months. Test sites will use one or more guides in their institutions and give feedback. IMLS will need a point person at the library who will be the main contact and provide feedback.
What is the timing for library test sites?
The goal is to have the first set of guides distributed to test sites in early February. Prior to that, IMLS will send out a pre-survey to get a baseline of where your library is currently at in regard to various privacy topics. IMLS will have test site instructions to guide you through the process which will last at the most a few months (that will largely be based on your own schedule). At the end, IMLS will have a post-survey and will guide you through giving feedback. IMLS has an advisor on board who is helping design this testing process so it's easy for libraries to use.
If you are interested, please send an email to bonnie.tijerina@gmail.com and erinberman@aclibrary.org who will be in touch with more details. Or, stop by the project table in the exhibit hall during ALA Midwinter in January.

S v Khomob (CR 30/2019) [2019] NAHCMD 90 (08 April 2019);
Criminal law – Escaping from lawful custody – Court mero motu putting suspended sentence into operation – Such order not competent – Court committing an irregularity – Order putting the suspended sentence into operation set aside.
The accused appeared before court charged with escaping from lawful custody. He was questioned in terms of section 112 (1) (b). Court not having satisfied itself recorded a plea of not guilty in terms of section 113 and the trial proceeded. Accused subsequently found guilty and convicted as charged. Court without application by the prosecutor ordered the suspended sentence to be put in to operation. Such order not competent.
1. The conviction and sentence of the accused is in accordance with justice and is hereby confirmed.
2. The order putting the suspended sentence into operation is set aside.
USIKU J, (UNENGU AJ concurring)
[1] The accused was charged with a crime of escaping from lawful custody. He pleaded guilty and was questioned in terms of section 112 (1) (b) whereafter the court invoked the provisions of section 113 and the trial proceeded. The accused was subsequently found guilty as charged.
[2] The state prosecutor handed in accused's record of previous convictions of escaping from lawful custody.
[3] The records of previous convictions were accepted by the accused whereafter the magistrate on her own informed the accused that the suspended sentence will take effect on the same date.
[4] When the matter came before me on review in terms of section 302 of the Criminal Procedure Act, I directed a query to the learned magistrate; what did the learned magistrate mean by suspended sentence taking effect? Did the learned magistrate follow the right procedure with regard to the putting into operation of a suspended sentence? Firstly there was no application by the state prosecutor to have the suspended sentence put into operation. The record of previous convictions were merely produced for the purposes of sentence and to be considered when imposing sentence.
[5] The magistrate must explain which sentence is to take effect, is it the six months suspended sentence? What about the sentence of 24 months direct imprisonment imposed by the magistrate? There is no record attached to the case for the suspended sentence which have to take effect as per magistrate's pronouncement."
[6] The learned magistrate responded to the query as follows:
'I concede that it was erroneous to have made an order putting the suspended sentence into operation without an application by the state. As a result I pray that the order putting the suspended sentence into operation be set aside or as the honourable Judge deems fit.'
[7] The procedure governing the suspension of sentences is provided for under section 297 of the Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 of 1977 as amended. Previous convictions falls under section 271 of the same Act.
[8] Section 297 allows Courts to suspend the whole of the sentence or suspending a part thereof. However, the manner in which the suspended sentence in this case was brought into operation was procedurally wrong. The magistrate did not follow the prescribed procedure; she did not warn the accused that she was considering imposing the previously suspended sentence, neither was the accused afforded the opportunity to say anything before the suspended sentence was put into operation.
[9] In fact, it is for the state and not the magistrate, to apply to the Court for a suspended sentence to be brought into operation. It needs to be pointed out that the reasons for bringing the suspended sentence into operation are dealt with on the case record where the accused's suspended sentence was imposed and not on the record of the latest case.
[10] Furthermore, the application should not be brought until the latest case proceedings have been confirmed or reviewed or until the time for the accused to lodge an appeal against the latest conviction or sentence has expired.
[11] The procedure to be followed when a magistrate wishes to put the suspended sentence into operation were stated in the case of S v Hoffman[1] 'A Court whether or not when considers to put a suspended sentence into operation, it is required to exercise a judicial discretion. The accused has to be appraised of his right to lead evidence and to advance argument to the Court with a view to resisting the putting into operation of the suspended sentence or to advance reasons for its further suspension of sentence … In the exercise of its discretion the Court is engaged in a sentencing process and must consider and apply all the necessary principles which it would apply if it was imposing an original sentence. If the Court is asked to put a sentence into operation where the breach has resulted in a subsequent conviction, the Court hearing the application ought, in my view, to know what sentence has been imposed in the latter trial before it orders that the earlier and suspended sentence be put into operation. Furthermore, it is both impractical and potentially prejudicial to the accused to put the suspended sentence into operation in a case which is subject to automatic review in terms of section 302 or even section 304 of the Criminal Procedure Act until conviction and sentence have been confirmed.'
[12] I am satisfied that the conviction and sentence of the accused is in accordance with justice and is hereby confirmed. However, the order putting the suspended sentence into operation is set aside.

Большой Кемчуг — деревня в Козульском районе Красноярского края России. Входит в состав Лазурненского сельсовета.

География
Деревня находится в юго-западной части Красноярского края, на обоих берегах реки Кемчуг, на расстоянии примерно 10 км (по прямой) или 14 км (по дорогам общего пользования с твёрдым покрытием) к востоку-северо-востоку (ENE) от районного центра посёлка Козулька. Абсолютная высота — 266 метров над уровнем моря.

История
Через деревню по улице Центральной на западном берегу реки, а далее по улице Заречной на восточном берегу проходила трасса старинного Московского тракта, а сам посёлок был образован вокруг переправы через реку Кемчуг.

Население

По данным Всероссийской переписи, в 2010 году численность населения деревни составляла 138 человек (60 мужчин и 78 женщин).

Улицы
Уличная сеть деревни состоит из трёх улиц: Центральной, Набережной и Заречной.

Транспорт
Вблизи деревни проходит автотрасса федерального значения Р255 «Сибирь» (до 1 января 2018 года может применяться — М53 «Сибирь»). На расстоянии 12,3 км от Большого Кемчуга расположена железнодорожная станция Козулька.

Палеонтология
Около деревни Большой Кемчуг в породах, относящихся к меловому периоду нашли зуб (верхний премоляр) млекопитающего из вымершей группы многобугорчатых (Multituberculata). Род получил название байдабатыр, вид — Baidabatyr clivosu.

Церковь Николая Чудотворца
Каменное здание православного храма во имя Николая Чудотворца в Большом Кемчуге построено в 1848 (или в 1840) году по проекту помощника енисейского губернского архитектора П. А. Шарова. В 1930-х годах Николаевская церковь была закрыта и заброшена.
В настоящее время руины церкви, расположенные по адресу: улица Центральная, дом 15 «А», являются главной достопримечательностью деревни. Существуют планы реставрации церкви, для реализации которых отсутствуют необходимые денежные средства.
Обиходные названия храма: Никольская церковь; Николаевская церковь; Николы церковь; Николы Угодника церковь; Николая Мирликийского церковь; Свято-Никольская церковь; Святоникольская церковь.

В архитектурном плане строение представляло собой кирпичную однопрестольную однокупольную церковь с двухъярусной колокольней в стиле позднего классицизма, близкую к образцовым проектам.
Священнослужители Никольского прихода жили за счет руги (части собранного урожая), которой с ними делились местные крестьяне''.

New research: LGBT young people 'shut out' of education and employment
Stonewall staff
About Us News Media Releases Blog Communities Education & youth Social exclusion
First-of-its-kind research uncovers what life is like for LGBT young people not in education, employment or training
Bullying at school, discrimination in the workplace and lack of home support can have devastating impact on mental health and prevent LGBT young people from reaching their potential
Almost one in five LGBT people (18 per cent) looking for work have faced discrimination trying to get a job because of who they are
A new report by lesbian, gay, bi and trans equality charity Stonewall and BritainThinks – Shut Out –reveals for the first-time what life is like for LGBT young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
The research shows that anti-LGBT bullying, lack of support at home or visible role models can have a devastating impact on LGBT young people's mental health, and lead many to being 'shut out' of higher education and work. The report finds that once out of school and employment, LGBT young people are slipping through the gaps and face significant obstacles to re-entering education and work.
Through in-depth interviews and workshops, 30 LGBT young people were asked about their experiences of being not in education, training and employment, their mental health experiences and what would help them in the future.
Key findings show why these young people left education, training and employment, including:
Experiences of familial rejection after coming out as LGBT
Isolation at school and college due to anti-LGBT bullying and a lack of LGBT-specific support
Negative experiences in the workplace, including anti-LGBT harassment
The report goes on to show that once out of education and employment, mental health struggles and difficulties accessing opportunities continue to hold LGBT young people back and prevent them from reaching their full potential.
The new report found that a breakdown in relationships with family, including rejection from family members due to being LGBT, was a key challenge for many LGBT young people.
Sean, a 24-year-old trans man from England, said: 'My mum didn't want me to transition, so I ended up moving into a hostel for a while.'
My mum didn't want me to transition, so I ended up moving into a hostel for a while.'
Sean, 24
Previous research from Stonewall has found that only half of lesbian, gay and bi people (46 per cent) and trans people (47 per cent) feel able to be open about their sexual orientation or gender identity to everyone in their family.
Shut Out shows how difficult family relationships can leave LGBT young people without support, which can have a profound impact on their mental health and ability to stay in education or work.
Bullying in the classroom
Many of the young LGBT people interviewed expressed how experiences of bullying, coupled with a lack of support from teachers, led them to become disengaged from their education.
Aiden, a 21-year-old gay man from Scotland, said 'At school, the bullying was really related to me being gay…I had to have a lot of time off when I was in school because of this discrimination. When I turned 18, I just stopped going.'
Stonewall's School Report found that LGBT young people face troubling levels of isolation in Britain's schools, nearly half of lesbian, gay, bi and trans pupils (45 per cent) – including 64 per cent of trans pupils – are bullied for being LGBT. Young LGBT people also face higher instances of mental health challenges, with two thirds of LGBT people aged 18-24 (68 per cent) experiencing depression in the last year.
The first time I experienced depression was when I was 14. I was young and in care, and I got feelings for a girl.
Adela, 23
The combination of these factors is preventing some LGBT young people from achieving their goals by shutting them out of education and limiting employment opportunities.
Adela, a 23 year old bi/pan woman from Wales said: 'The first time I experienced depression was when I was 14. I was young and in care, and I got feelings for a girl.'
Mathew who is 21, gender-questioning and from Scotland said: 'I was nervous about [leaving the house] because of the amount of times I've been bullied as a kid. I sometimes couldn't bring myself to leave my front door.'
Life after school
Leaving education to go to university or enter the workforce is a tricky transition for some LGBT young people. Of those that did go on to university, many felt forced to stop their studies due to unwelcoming environments which made their mental health worse.
Participants also shared their experiences of feeling forced to leave jobs because of anti-LGBT bullying, while some put off applying for positions as they feared they would be discriminated against. Stonewall research revealed that almost one in five LGBT people (18 per cent) looking for work have faced discrimination trying to get a job because of who they are.
He was anti-LGBT, and said that if any employees were gay, he'd fire them. So I left … I felt unsafe as an LGBT person.
Jamie, a 19-year-old non-binary person from England, spoke about their experience of being managed by someone who was openly homophobic: 'He was a dodgy boss. He made me feel unsafe. He was anti-LGBT, and said that if any employees were gay, he'd fire them. So I left… I felt unsafe as an LGBT person.'
Barriers to re-entry
The LGBT young people interviewed described how challenging it was to re-enter education, employment and training once they had become shut out. A range of factors led to them being unable to get back into work or school, including poor mental and physical health.
The report also found that many of the young LGBT people lacked the practical support and knowledge they needed to find training opportunities and routes into work. As a result, the charity is calling for better mental health support for LGBT young people and specific careers guidance to help those that are shut out of education and employment.
Mo Wiltshire, Director of Education and Youth at Stonewall, said: 'For the first time, this research sheds light on the challenges that young lesbian, gay, bi and trans people have faced, leading them to become shut out of education, employment or training.
Schools, colleges, local authorities and employers need to open their doors to LGBT young people, starting by creating environments in which everyone can thrive.

'This research has brought up many areas which we know present particular difficulty for LGBT people, such as bullying and a lack of support from their school days right through to the workplace. But now we can see that these challenges have lasting impacts, which is why it's time to act.
'Schools, colleges, local authorities and employers need to open their doors to LGBT young people, starting by creating environments in which everyone can thrive. No one should be shut out of education or work because they are LGBT, and we will keep fighting until every LGBT person has the support they need to be themselves and reach their full potential.'

Q: If $p: \tilde{X} \rightarrow X$ is a covering space, then the cardinality of the set $p^{-1}(x)$ is locally constant. While reading Hatcher, he stated "If $p: \tilde{X} \rightarrow X$ is a covering space, then the cardinality of the set $p^{-1}(x)$ is locally constant. I have trouble seeing that this is the case.
I suppose we would want to take a neighborhood $U$ of $x$ then take another point $y \in U$. We would want to look at the path from $x$ to $y$ and this should lift to a path in $\tilde{X}$. But I fail to see how to proceed to show that the cardinalities of $p^{-1}(x)$ and $p^{-1}(y)$ should be the same. Moreover, how would we choose our $U$ 'sufficiently small' for this to be so? Is it the case that if $X$ is connected then all of the fibers have the same cardinality?

A: In the definition of a covering space you have a covering of $X$ by open sets $U_i$ such that $p^{-1}(U_i)\cong U_i\times F$.  Then the cardinality of $p^{-1}(x)$ is $|F|$ for any $x\in U_i$.

Q: tty problem: binary mess instead of "text good data" I am trying to use a GPS over moxa Uport 1110 usb-to-serial device. The driver of UPort was installed OK, and GPS sends NMEA (text) data. However, when I issue command
cat /dev/ttyUSB0

my terminal (it is in UTF8 locale if it matters) shows some binary mess. Under windows (so, with a different driver, though both are official) it behaves OK and I can see the data and access GPS.
I wonder if the problem is in some terminal setting.
I previosuly issued stty ispeed 9600, that is what GPS is also configured for reliably; also I tried stty ispeed from low to high, just getting different kind of mess.
Sporadically, good text was shown in some rare attempts.
My current terminal settings are:
 [root@blade gpsd-3.14]# stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0
 speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
 eof = ^A; min = 1; time = 0;
 -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel
 -opost -onlcr
 -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke

I appreciate any help in detecting where the problem lies.

A: In my experience (which admittedly is from a number of years ago), physical line characteristics reset back to the defaults when the device is closed. So running stty ... < /dev/ttyUSB0 as a standalone command is frustratingly pointless because as soon as the command completes the device is closed and it resets back to its default.
To resolve this one had to do something like this
sleep 3600 </dev/ttyUSB0 &    # Open the device and keep it open (for 1hr)
stty ... </dev/ttyUSB0        # Set the desired characteristics
cat /dev/ttyUSB0              # Read from the device
...
kill %1                       # Finished with the "sleep"

'All American' Star Michael Evans Behling Settles His Divorce, Keeps His Mercedes Benz
Home / Entertainment / 'All American' Star Michael Evans Behling Settles His Divorce, Keeps His Mercedes Benz
by Kay Lewis Posted on January 20, 2023 at 2:00 am
All American Michael Evans Behling has settled his divorce after randomly getting married for five short months.
Michael Evans Behling Is Moving On
The actor is officially single and the best part is his divorce was uncontested, according to legal documents obtained by The Blast. This divorce seems like it was super easy because Behling isn't on the hook for spousal support either.
Truly, five months of wedded bliss doesn't qualify you for spousal support but people can be different when they are getting a divorce. Child support isn't up for grabs because the couple thankfully have no kids together.
Behling also lucked out on community property as in there were no community property assets or debts to divide up. As for the actor's separate property, he is keeping his apartment furniture worth around $10,000, jewelry that is worth about $5,000, his Mercedes Benz, his savings and checking accounts, his retirement accounts, and his business interests worth about $150,000.
Wait, Michael Evans Behling Got Married?
Instagram/MichaelEvansBehling
That was the reaction of many of the actor's fans when it was revealed he was getting a divorce after a five-month marriage that no one knew about. Back in July, The Blast obtained those court documents as well.
They revealed that Behling married a woman named Madison Stanton. He claims that they split up in August but she is claiming it was more like September. Either way, a month difference in a marriage well under a year isn't really a big deal.
That being said, Behling was concerned about just that because Stanton allegedly believed that she should get spousal support.
Michael Evans Behling Is Doing Well Financially
The actor's ex-wife may have realized that his star is on the rise when she asked for spousal support. He admitted in the court documents that he was making a good salary and is also pulling in money from another modeling "endorsement".
His character on All American is very popular and Behling is reaping those benefits. He made over $1 million between 2021-2022. In the money section of the divorce documents, Behling shared that he earned $838,726.08 as "acting income" assuming from All American.
He also brought in $370,000 from his American Eagle modeling gig. Behling was a model before he starred on the hit show about a college Football team.
Michael Evans Behling Never Talks About His Love Life
Behling is pretty tight-lipped when it comes to who he is or isn't dating. There has only been one time when he has referenced a woman being in his life in a romantic way. In 2019, during an interview, he shared that he was "sadly off the market and is dating a girlfriend."
Yet, his social media platforms haven't indicated that he had or has any love interest, and even after marriage, there was still no sign of this Madison woman on any of his platforms and he still wasn't talking about her publicly.
Is this why the divorce occurred? This whole scenario is giving off that time that Drake hid his son Adonis for like three years and even that secret lasted longer than this marriage.
Do you say congratulations when someone's divorce finalizes?

Sean Bernard of Ideal Industries Discusses Taking on YPN National Chair for EFC
By Blake Marchand
Sean Bernard is the Intelligent Controls Manager, Canada for Ideal Industries. Sean resides in Whitby with his wife, Melissa and their daughter, Everleigh.
Sean joined Ideal Industries mid-2019 after 13-years in lighting, working for companies like Phillips, Franklin Empire, and Standard Products. Throughout that time, he made his way from inside sales, to outside sales and up into management.
"I've been fortunate enough to be a part of this industry for 13-years, having worked on both the manufacturing and distribution ends of the business," he said, adding, "The biggest reason that I've enjoyed my time in the industry so far is the fact that no two days are the same. The rate of change in the industry is exciting and certainly keeps you engaged from day to day."
Recently, the Electro Federation Canada (EFC) announced a new leadership group for its Young Professionals Network (YPN), electing a new national chair and regional chairs for the Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic regions.
After two years (2017-2019) as the Ontario Region Chair, Sean will take over the National Chair position from Kim Quelch of Eglo Canada. Joanna Kwant of Gerrie Electric was named as the Ontario Region Chair, Jean-Francois Gravel from Leviton Canada was named Quebec Region Chair, and Nick Foster also from Leviton Canada was named Atlantic Region Chair.
"As the YPN took shape," said Sean of his decision to run for National Chair, "I could see the impact that we were having. I learned so much from past chairs that I wanted to do my part to ensure that we continued their vision."
Sean is passionate about his industry, which is evident in his commitment to the YPN as well as his enthusiasm for the industry in general. In the interview below Sean discusses his current role, his involvement with the YPN and his thoughts on relevant technologies and trends in lighting.
Can you tell me a bit about your current role – what interests you, what challenges you?
Currently, I am proudly serving as Intelligent Controls Manager – Canada for Ideal Industries (Canada) Corp. This is a role that was created recently to bring together the lighting controls offering of Ideal Industries (Audacy Wireless Controls and the offerings of Cree Lighting Canada, acquired in March of 2019) under a cohesive market approach.
The lighting controls market is undergoing a huge shift due to technology advancements and the wants/needs of the end user. The challenge of meeting these requirements has been rewarding as we continue achieve new solutions.
When did you first get involved with the YPN? Why did you get involved and what has your experience been like so far?
I was asked to join the Ontario Region committee at the YPN's inception 5 years ago. It was an easy decision to participate as I firmly believe in being an active member of the industry as a whole. I am very proud of our accomplishments and the level of engagement that we've seen from the YPN's. The group as a whole has really bought in to the value of networking and sharing ideas as we embark in the early stages of our careers.
What is the benefit of these types of programs, to individuals and the industry in general?
Anyone coming into a new industry or just starting their career is looking for like minded people that they can share ideas with and learn from each other. The YPN has provided that platform for a great number of people from all segments of the industry. We are now closing in on 600 members across the country and will hopefully be adding a new provincial chapter early on in 2020.
What's interesting to you right now in the industry/what are you focusing on with respect to trends and new products etc?
My background has been predominantly in lighting and I don't believe any segment of the industry has seen a bigger shift in the last 10 years. The commoditization of LED felt like it happened overnight and the continued advancements in the technology changes things from one day to the next.
Along with the LED revolution came the requirement for lighting controls to advance technology approaches. Some of the requests from end users that we are being approached with today from a controls perspective seemed far fetched just a few years ago, but with all of the R&D that has gone into these systems we are now able to turn these requests into reality.
Where are intelligent lighting controls at right now and where do you see it going?
Lighting controls are certainly in the mainstream conversation for any retrofit or new construction project today. The strides in technology that have been achieved and what is currently being developed are making the capabilities of these systems far more important to end users.
The biggest trend and impact on the market will be systems focused on human centric lighting controls (dimming and white light tuning). There is also a big push on continuing advancements in the home automation segment.

What can I say? This is my 5th Starbucks since I've started this project. Sometimes I just need a quick new place that doesn't require much research or many photos. Since most of us know what a Starbucks looks like, there is only an inside and outside shot. This particular Starbucks is located at 2112 North 30th Street Tacoma, WA 98403 in the Old Town area of Tacoma. It is pretty much a typical Starbucks, clean, friendly, reliable. The space is larger than I expected with a large room in the back. There is outside seating.
