What is more, he has directed a number of successful opera productions.
The BFO's frequent worldwide tours, and a series of critically-acclaimed and fast-selling records released first by Philips Classics and later by Channel Classics, have contributed to Iván Fischer's reputation as one of the world's most high-profile music directors. The Berlin Philharmonic has played more than ten times under Fischer's baton, and he also spends two weeks every year with Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. He is also a frequent guest of the leading US symphony orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic and the Cleveland Orchestra.

Johnson salvages his season
Zach Johnson was just trying to get his game together for next year. He ended up salvaging this season with an unexpected victory at the Texas Open in San Antonio.
"I had two things in my mind this week as far as going into the week and one was no expectations," Johnson said. "So, no, I did not expect to be here, but I guess that's a good thing. The second was just making some commitments to my fundamentals, to my golf swing. ? So it's very encouraging."
The 2007 Masters champion followed his third-round 62 with a 64 yesterday for a two-stroke victory over Charlie Wi (61), Mark Wilson (63) and Tim Wilkinson (64).
"First and foremost, this round and this week, especially, was for the state of Iowa - especially in my home, Cedar Rapids." Johnson said. "That community was devastated in June. ? I'm dedicating this one to them. They mean a lot to me."
Johnson entered the week with only one top-10 finish this year.
The win in the Fall Series event, capped by a 5-foot birdie putt on 18, was his first on the PGA Tour outside Georgia. In addition to the Masters, he won the 2004 BellSouth Classic and 2007 AT&T Classic.
Third-round leader Rory Sabbatini shot a 72 to finish seven strokes back.
? Champions: Down by four strokes with 14 holes to play, D.A. Weibring soared past a fading Nick Price and held off a host of challengers to win the Senior Players Championship in Timonium, Md.
Weibring closed out a 2-under 68 with a 2-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. He finished at 9-under 271, one stroke better than hometown favorite Fred Funk (66). Price (71), Ben Crenshaw (66) and Jeff Sluman (69) were at 7 under, and Jay Haas (68) followed at 6 under.
The 55-year-old Weibring earned $390,000, the biggest payday in his career.
It was his fifth win in six years on the Champions Tour, and one of the most significant of his career. He was 0 for 39 in major tournaments on the PGA Tour and 0 for 25 on the 50-and-over circuit.
? LPGA: South Korea's In-Kyung Kim won the Longs Drugs Challenge for her first LPGA Tour victory, closing with a 1-over 73 in gusty conditions for a three-stroke victory over Angela Stanford in Danville, Calif.
The 20-year-old Kim, the 2005 U.S. Girls' Junior winner in her second season on the tour, birdied the final two holes for a 10-under 278 total on the Blackhawk Country Club course. She earned $180,000.

San Francisco community college to offer free tuition for city residents
By Paulina Firozi - 02/08/17 09:21 AM EST
A community college in San Francisco will now offer free tuition to all city residents under a new deal San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee (D) announced this week.
The city has agreed to pay $5.4 million per year to pay for the $46-per-credit free that students usually pay, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The agreement that will make college education free for residents through the City College of San Francisco is expected to begin in the fall.
Any San Francisco resident who has lived in the city for at least one full year will be eligible for the deal, regardless of income.
"Even the children of the founders of Facebook," said City supervisor Jane Kim.
The deal will also provide $250 per semester to low-income students who already receive fee waivers from the state, which can be used to pay for books, transportation and other fees. Part-time students who receive state fee waivers will get $100 per semester.
San Francisco residents voted in November to approve a transfer tax on properties selling above $5 million to pay for the deal.
"To California residents who are living in San Francisco, your community college is now free," Lee said, according to the Chronicle.

Q: DateTime Round Up and Down Ive been looking for a proper rounding mechanism but nothing I find seems to be exactly what I need.
I need to round up and round down seperately and I also need to account for the the case when its already rounded.
I need the following rounding to happen
5:00 -> RoundDown() -> 5:00
5:04 -> RoundDown() -> 5:00
5:09 -> RoundDown() -> 5:00
5:10 -> RoundDown() -> 5:10

4:00 -> RoundUp() -> 4:00
4:50 -> RoundUp() -> 4:50
4:51 -> RoundUp() -> 5:00
4:56 -> RoundUp() -> 5:00

Basically I need it to RoundUp() or RoundDown() to the nearest 10 minutes explicitly but it should also leave time untouched if it already is in a multiple of 10 minutes. Also I'd like to truncate any seconds to that they have no effect on the rounding procedure
4:50:45 -> 4:50:00 -> RoundUp() -> 4:50
Does anyone have any handy code to accomplish this.
I found this code somewhere but it rounds 5:00 -> RoundUp() -> 5:10 rather than leaving it intact because its already a multiple of 10 and needs no rounding. Also Im not sure how seconds would effect it
public static DateTime RoundDateTime(this DateTime dt, int minutes, RoundingDirection direction)
{
    TimeSpan t;
    switch (direction)
    {
        case RoundingDirection.Up:
            t = (dt.Subtract(DateTime.MinValue)).Add(new TimeSpan(0, minutes, 0)); break;
        case RoundingDirection.Down:
            t = (dt.Subtract(DateTime.MinValue)); break;
        default:
            t = (dt.Subtract(DateTime.MinValue)).Add(new TimeSpan(0, minutes / 2, 0)); break;
    }
    return DateTime.MinValue.Add(new TimeSpan(0,
           (((int)t.TotalMinutes) / minutes) * minutes, 0));
}

Hope someone can edit that method to make it work for me. Thanks

A: This will let you round according to any interval given.
public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
  public static DateTime Floor(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan interval)
  {
    return dateTime.AddTicks(-(dateTime.Ticks % interval.Ticks));
  }

  public static DateTime Ceiling(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan interval)
  {
    var overflow = dateTime.Ticks % interval.Ticks;

    return overflow == 0 ? dateTime : dateTime.AddTicks(interval.Ticks - overflow);
  }

  public static DateTime Round(this DateTime dateTime, TimeSpan interval)
  {
    var halfIntervalTicks = (interval.Ticks + 1) >> 1;

    return dateTime.AddTicks(halfIntervalTicks - ((dateTime.Ticks + halfIntervalTicks) % interval.Ticks));
  }
}

To take care of truncating the seconds, I would simply subtract the seconds and milliseconds from the date-time before sending them into the rounding functions.

A: Here is a fast way to truncate (round down)
var now = DateTime.Now;
var nowTicks = now.Ticks;

//removing the nanoseconds, miliseconds, and seconds from the nowTicks
var lastMinute = new DateTime(nowTicks - (nowTicks % (1000*1000*10*60)));

A: How about:
case RoundingDirection.Up:
    t = dt.AddMinutes((60 - dt.Minute) % 10);
case RoundingDirection.Down:
    t = dt.AddMinutes(-dt.Minute % 10);

Demo: http://ideone.com/AlB7Q

A: This function will round up or down to the nearest interval (minutes).
    private static DateTime NormalizeReadingInterval(DateTime originalTime, int interval)
    {
        if (originalTime.Minute % interval == 0) return originalTime;
        var epochTime = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1);
        var minutes = (originalTime - epochTime).TotalMinutes;
        var numIntervals = minutes / interval;
        var roundedNumIntervals = Math.Round(numIntervals, 0);
        return epochTime.AddMinutes(roundedNumIntervals * interval);
    }

A: Another approach avoiding arithmetic using type long.
Using integer division, where a & b are positive integers:
a/b             // rounding down
(a+b-1)/b       // rounding up
((2*a)+b)/(2*b) // rounding to the nearest (0.5 up)

To round up:
public static DateTime UpToNearestXmin( DateTime dt, int block )
{
   int a = dt.Minute;
   int b = block;

   int mins = block * (( a + b - 1 ) / b );

   return new DateTime( dt.Year, dt.Month, dt.Day, dt.Hour, 0, 0 ).AddMinutes( mins );
}

To round down or to nearest, change the mins calculation as appropriate.
The minutes are rounded. The seconds & milliseconds are zeroed which is expected behaviour.

Principles: Abuse and Neglect Advocacy
Adopted 4/15/2005, Amended 3/7/2015; Amended 3/24/2017; Amended 09/26/2020
Individuals with disabilities are at a disproportionately higher risk for abuse, neglect, hate crimes, criminal victimization, and criminal prosecution. People with disabilities are at least four to ten times more likely to be victimized than people without disabilities. They also experience higher rates of domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse perpetrated by intimate partners. Individuals with an intellectual impairment are at the highest risk of victimization. Most individuals with disabilities are victimized by people they know, often individuals who have a relationship with them specifically because of the victim's disabilities (e.g., care providers and service attendants). At the same time, people with disabilities are disproportionately arrested, prosecuted, and incarcerated, often for disability-related behavior.
Abuse and neglect of persons with disabilities is a crime. Yet studies show that most crimes against people with disabilities go unreported. Victims with disabilities frequently rely on others to identify and report suspected abuse or neglect. Incidents of abuse and neglect are often handled as employment matters rather than crimes and not referred to law enforcement. Prompt reporting and investigation of suspected or alleged abuse or neglect is essential to protect victims and to successfully prosecute and convict perpetrators. Women with disabilities are uniquely vulnerable to all forms of violence, including intimate partner violence. They are significantly more likely to experience physical, sexual, and psychological abuses and stalking than their peers without disabilities. They are also more likely to experience intimate partner control of reproductive and sexual health than women without disabilities. Men with disabilities are more likely to experience stalking and psychological abuse than their peers without disabilities. Domestic violence of persons with disabilities can take many forms, such as, verbal and psychological abuse, physical violence, unwanted sexual contact, threats and intimidation, and financially exploiting victims and misusing victims' money. Absent a criminal conviction, there is no system to track care providers who have been abusive to or negligent toward individuals with disabilities under their care. Since few incidents of abuse or neglect are prosecuted, criminal background checks alone are insufficient to track abusive care providers.
Licensing boards may conduct investigations into misconduct of licensed care staff (physicians, nurses, therapists, CNAs); however, there is no requirement that substantiated incidents of abuse or neglect be referred to licensing boards, and frequently they are not. Information regarding disciplinary action taken by licensing boards is not necessarily accessible to the public. There is no tracking system of substantiated complaints against unlicensed care providers.
Law enforcement and others in the abuse response system often lack the training and skills to interact with and interview individuals with disabilities. There are often critical delays in the response of investigators to reports of abuse, neglect, hate crimes and criminal victimization. Criminal investigations are not thorough and often produce insufficient evidence for criminal prosecution. Disability-related bias and stigma may include assumptions that individuals with disabilities are unreliable or not credible and will not make good witnesses, resulting in failure to timely and thoroughly interview the victim or witnesses with disabilities, if at all. Many investigations into instances of abuse and neglect go on for months or years, and some are never completed. Cases that make it into the criminal justice system are not rigorously prosecuted; assailants are frequently given lighter sentences or plead to lesser crimes.
There is no reliable statewide system in California that documents the frequency of abuse, neglect, hate crimes or criminal victimization of individuals with disabilities. Without accurate, specific, publicly-available data, there is no means of quantifying the extent of the problem, isolating specific gaps in the abuse response system, or ensuring that individuals and entities have fulfilled their obligations.
DRC is the independent, private, nonprofit agency established in California pursuant to the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. 42 U.S.C. § 15001 et seq. Congress mandated that each state receiving funds under the Act establish an advocacy system to protect the rights and interests of persons with developmental disabilities. DRC is the advocacy system for California. Congress subsequently expanded the responsibilities of the existing protection and advocacy system to include advocacy for all persons with disabilities, including psychiatric and other disabilities. The California legislature has enacted legislation which acknowledged the authority of DRC under federal law and brought state law into compliance with federal requirements. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 4900 et seq.
In protecting and advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities, DRC may investigate incidents of abuse and neglect; pursue administrative, legal, and other appropriate remedies or approaches to ensure the protection of rights of eligible persons with disabilities; and provide information, referral and training concerning programs and services addressing needs of eligible individuals. DRC is granted reasonable access to service providers, facilities, or programs providing care and treatment to persons with disabilities. This access permits DRC to conduct abuse or neglect investigations, provide information and training about the rights of individuals with disabilities, and monitor the service provider, facility, or program's compliance with respect to the rights and safety of service recipients. DRC is entitled to access both public and private service providers, facilities, or programs that provide services, support, care, or treatment to persons with disabilities.
People with disabilities should be provided with maximum protection from abuse and neglect without infringing on their personal autonomy, privacy, and individual liberties. This includes:
Reporting and cross-reporting of suspected or alleged abuse, neglect or crimes against people with disabilities or incidents suggestive of abuse, neglect, hate crimes or criminal victimization;
Prompt and unbiased response by first responders to all reports of abuse, neglect, hate crimes and criminal conduct involving victims with disabilities;
Significant penalties for perpetrators of abuse or neglect, as well as facilities, programs or agencies that fail to prevent abuse or neglect or to respond to alleged or suspected abuse or neglect; and
Making more domestic violence prevention, identification and prosecution resources available and ensure they are inclusive.
Oversight and licensing entities must: conduct timely and thorough investigations into allegations of abuse, neglect, hate crimes or criminal conduct; promptly issue sanctions or notice of deficiencies commensurate with the offense; and ensure entities and/or individuals implement and sustain corrective action.
Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors should prioritize investigations of abuse, neglect, hate crimes and criminal conduct against people with disabilities to ensure equal justice and prevent perpetrators and mandated reporters who fail to report from victimizing others in the future.
Individuals in the abuse response and criminal justice systems must be trained regarding working with people with disabilities and their intersection with other sources of social disadvantage in a trauma-informed manner in the identification, reporting, and investigation of incidents of suspected abuse or neglect.
People with disabilities, including victims and witnesses to abuse, neglect, hate crimes or criminal activity, must be provided with effective communication services and accommodations, consistent with trauma-informed practices, to ensure equal access to investigators, the criminal justice system, and aggressive prosecution of cases.
People who report suspected instances of abuse and neglect must be protected against retaliation.
People with disabilities, family members, and advocates must be provided with training regarding abuse and neglect and accessing the abuse response and criminal justice systems.
Data collection systems, that protect individually-identifiable confidential information, must be developed or enhanced to:
Document the incidences of crimes, abuse and neglect against people with disabilities, and the outcome of investigations, including prosecution and conviction;
Document race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and gender expression along with disability;
Align and link state and local program data systems, to the greatest extent possible, to ensure consistent data generation while protecting personal privacy;
Track abusive care providers;
Identify areas of significant need for systemic reform;
Guide systemic reform; and
Evaluate the outcomes of interventions and reform initiatives.
This data, if not publicly available, should be made available to Disability Rights California pursuant to Disability Rights California's abuse and neglect mandate.
Policies and practices of state and local governmental agencies should support enhanced protections including enhanced sanctions or penalties for facilities, programs or agencies that fail to protect people with disabilities from abuse or neglect and/or fail to respond to alleged or suspected abuse or neglect.

Giving students a life more premium.
Students represent the largest, most loyal and engaged group on Spotify but they don't have much money to spend on premium.
Spotify briefed The Royals to help increase awareness and trial of the new Spotify Premium for Students 3 for $0.99 offer that was launching in market by leveraging the advocacy of existing Student Premium users as well as paid media, but we needed a brave idea to cut through the noise in a competitive category due to a combination of low budget and ambitious KPIs.
Students' lives these days are a dichotomy. Due to the cost of living and tuition fees, they do everything they possibly can to save money while still aspiring to the premium life they see in their newsfeed every day. Spotify needed a campaign which would sell the benefits of Student Premium while giving them access to experiences and items they couldn't otherwise afford, big and small.
The Royals attacked the brief with an idea engineered to spread: The Spotify Student Premium Store. A unique online store where the currency was credits that existing Spotify Student Premium users could spend in the store in return for referring their student friends who signed up to Spotify Student Premium for 99c.
Stock in this unique store ranged from student staples like oversized 40 packs of Mie Goreng Noodles and 1KG jars of Nutella delivered straight to your student digs to money can't buy music experiences at the most desirable gigs and festivals in the country.
• 165% baseline uplift in acquisition versus previous month's performance with no campaign in market.
• 46% of new users on the store came from the referral strategy code.
• The Spotify Student Premium Store was a test for the Spotify Premium team, which based on these results now has the potential to roll out in other international markets.


Uber has once again been accused of using spyware tools to help it undermine a competing business.
This time, it is Australia's taxi-hailing GoCatch claiming that the San Francisco-based dial-a-ride giant had been using shady tools to track its drivers in an attempt to hire them away and starve competitors of workers.
According to a report from Oz telly broadcaster ABC, Uber devs allegedly compromised GoCatch systems, and installed a tool dubbed Surfcam. That software was used to track and log GoCatch's cabbies and trips, an anonymous former Uber worker claimed.
Using that information, Uber, it is said, was able to collect information about drivers, including their name and car registration info. Uber then contacted the top drivers at GoCatch and offered them work, with the hope of starving GoCatch of cabbies, it is claimed.
The Surfcam tool was allegedly in use for some time, having first been developed internally by Uber in 2015, according to the claims.
"Surfcam when used in Australia was able to put fledgling Australian competitors onto the ropes," ABC quoted its anonymous tipster as saying. "Surfcam allowed Uber Australia to see in real time all of the competitor cars online and to scrape data such as the driver's name, car registration, and so on."
Uber had yet to respond to a request for comment at the time of publication.
While the allegations have yet to be proven, if true this would not be the first time Uber was found to have used a shady piece of in-house software to undermine a rival. Back in 2017, the ride-sharing giant came under scrutiny from the US government after the whistle was blown on "Hell", an in-house software tool Uber deployed against drivers working with rival Lyft.
That software similarly allowed Uber to spy on the drivers working for its rivals and hand-pick the people it wanted to flip over to its side in an attempt to create a shortage for Lyft.
Around roughly the same time, another secret software tool called Greyball was also brought to the public's attention. That tool, designed to help Uber skirt laws against its service, flagged accounts used by cops to prevent officers from finding drivers to ticket.
In the fallout of those and other scandals, Uber has attempted to remake its image from the top, starting with the replacement of Travis Kalanick with Dara Khosrowshahi as CEO.

Many Mexicos
Lesley Byrd Simpson
Perhaps no country's history is as fascinating and perplexing as that of Mexico. "Mother Mexico," land of paradox, of contradiction and extreme--these are the strands that Lesley Byrd Simpson weaves into a unified fabric in presenting the country's history. First published in 1941, Many Mexicos was awarded the Commonwealth Club Gold Medal for Literature. Travelers, students, and all who delight in the adventure of narrative history have since treasured the volume for its clarity and readability. Now, completely revised, the Silver Anniversary Edition reflects the vast published output of these past twenty-five years on the history of Mexico. Some chapters have been enlarged, others corrected. A map of Mexico showing political subdivisions is now included, and, in general, new material has been added to document the author's controversial statement (and there are many). Bloody conquests and revolutions; men, good or evil; art, religion, and institutions brought from Spain or made in Mexico; topography and climate; the conflict of cultures and races; and finally, the emergence of Mexico into today's bewildering world--this in broad outline is the absorbing story Mr. Simpson so warmly presents.

 How young is too young?
A proposed law making its way through the Philippine Lower House would lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility (known as MACR) from 15 years old to as young as nine.
The bill seeks to amend the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 that currently retains the MACR at 15 years old, but allows children as young as 12 to be detained in youth care facilities.
It would allow children between nine and 14 years old who commit "serious crimes" to be locked up.
"Serious crimes" include offences such as murder, abduction, car theft and drug-related offences.
A similar bill filed at the Senate seeks to set the minimum age to 13.
Committee chairman, Congressman Salvador Leachon, said the bill seeks to protect children from being used by criminal gangs to commit crimes. "We are not putting these children in jail but in reform institutions to correct their ways and bring them back into the community," said the legislator.
For Malacañang, 9-year-old children are already capable of discernment due to the modern technology they use. "For me, 9 is fine. Considering the modern technology, nine is like the equivalent of 12, 15 years old. They have discernment already," said Palace spokesperson Salvador Panelo.
These plans are backed by President Rodrigo Duterte has since elected, has been opposed to the Juvenile Justice Law and perceived it as the cause of the rising crimes in the country.
The committee also agreed the death penalty should not be imposed on anyone under the age of 18. This includes not imposing the death penalty on anyone who commits a crime during childhood but is 18 or older during the trial and sentencing.
What is the common MACR around the world?
There is no global consensus regarding the youngest age at which a child can be deemed to be criminally responsible. In the United States, the minimum age of criminal responsibility for federal crimes is 11. But in 33 states, children of any age can theoretically be convicted and sentenced at the state level. In India, the minimum age is 7, compared with 16 in Timor-Leste.
Scientific studies, however, showed that discernment on decisions and actions—which is apart from the ability to distinguish right and wrong—does not develop until adolescent years. The human brain continues to develop until the age of twenty-one years, and to mature as late as twenty-five years old.
The Child Rights International Network also explained that age is "arbitrary" in determining a person's capacity to discern.
"Capacity is therefore not just an innate state; it depends on external circumstances which can encourage or inhibit a child's autonomy," it said.
The group said the dismal situation of Filipino children pushes them into anti-social activities and criminality.
"These are the immediate issues that the Duterte government have neglected to resolve for nearly three years," Salinlahi secretary-general Eule Rico Bonganay said.


Missouri River Soap... oh my heart. Look at those colors. Holly, the owner and soap maker at Missouri River Soap, must find the ends of rainbows and instead of taking the gold, shaves bits of the bottom off to make soap.
This sample soap chunk was a gift from Jean. Thank you Jean!
Missouri River Soaps also dabbles in the most beautiful wax creations on occasion. My sample is quickly disappearing but I placed an order yesterday. Her website was restocked then and a few tarts and a camo soap decided to come home to me. She will be releasing and restocking new soaps and wax on August 10th and August 24th tentatively, as well.
I love the blue-indigo-purple fade effect Holly did on the tops. She's amazing, to do these things and be self taught.
I just looked up Holly's video for making this and saw another video for a Hawaiian punch scented soap called Bite Me. That would be good for this.
By the way, the rootbeer float soap....noms. It looks like fudge!
Holly does have quite the talent! Thank you for introducing her soap to me. I love bite me in wax, such a bright and fun scent. The root beer soap did look fun but the scent description of camo reeled me in.
You are too right! Unfortunately, it is no more. Used it all up, every last gorgeous layer of color.
Look. At. Those. Colors. GAH! Gorgeous!

RONNIE DOVE: The Complete Original Chart Hits 1964-1969. CD
He notched over 20 hits and was a fixture on the charts throughout the mid-'60s, but to date Ronnie Dove has not received the definitive retrospective he deserves, as inferior-sounding album reissues and compilations have cluttered up the marketplace. Now, at last, Real Gone is filling a BIG gap in '60s pop collecting with the release of The Complete Original Chart Hits 1964-1969, a 21-track collection (16 in stereo) that includes every pop hit this Baltimore-based legend had during his sterling career, remastered by Evren Göknar and Marty Wekser at Capitol Mastering Studios mostly from newly available Diamond label tape sources. Joseph Lanza's liner notes include quotes from Ronnie himself as well as never before seen photos and memorabilia from his and co-compiler Tom Diehl's personal collections. By far the most comprehensive and best-sounding Ronnie Dove collection ever compiled, with several tracks appearing on CD in first-time stereo.

'Street Proof' Backpacks Offered to Metro Vancouver Homeless
750 custom backpacks feature built-in rain gear, reflective straps and anti-theft measures
Vancouver, B.C. — Just when Kevin Toth thought life couldn't get worse, he was hit again. The Vancouver homeless man was just getting 'back on his feet' and returning to work when his backpack – and work gear inside – was stolen.
"It hit me pretty hard, like 'why is this happening?'" Says Toth. "I bought new work boots, set myself up for work again, to have that stolen…it was hard."
Toth is one of hundreds who will receive a new backpack next week when Chicago-based Citypak Project, Union Gospel Mission and Wolfe Auto Group partner to distribute more than 750 'street proof' bags across Metro Vancouver. The custom-built backpacks are specifically designed for life on the street, featuring a built-in rain poncho, compression straps for bedding, reflective straps, durable material and anti-theft loops.
"My vision was to provide a useful, high-quality backpack for the homeless that would make life on the streets of Chicago a bit easier," says Citypak Project Founder Ron Kaplan. "We're thrilled to be expanding our outreach to Vancouver."
The bags will be distributed by Union Gospel Mission & Wolfe Auto Group to five organizations across Metro Vancouver, including shelters in the Downtown Eastside, New Westminster and Surrey.
"These bags are as 'street proof' as they can get and that's huge," says UGM spokesperson Jeremy Hunka. "Sometimes a bag is all our guests need to start moving forward. They can walk into a job interview without carrying plastic bags. They can sleep in confidence. Sometimes a bag holds your whole world, and it should be protected."
"It'll be very beneficial…it'll give you a sense of security on a cold night," says Kevin Toth. "To feel like you're secure, like you're not going to get hit by a car, like nobody is going to take your bag."
Media are welcome to attend UGM as bags are loaded into vehicles and distributed in the Downtown Eastside. A select few recipients will be available for interviews along with UGM, Citypak Project and Wolfe Auto Group.
Date: Monday, November 21st
Time: 10:00 – 10:30

There is another reason why I'm not getting much sewing done at the moment.
Somewhere behind all the boxes is where I have my sewing area.
That said I've been limited to smaller projects, and I decided to try my hands on hatmaking. I'm also going to a Ladies of the Legions' High Tea at Star Wars Celebration and felt that if all else fails when it comes to costuming, I can at least wear a nice hat.
I got inspired by this type of 1950's hat, that I've learnt is called a half-hat.
It's a fairly easy shape, and a great base to add decorations to. For materials so far I've used buckram and millinery wire that I bought back when I did my giant 1787 hat.
I started with a simple, rounded diamond shape, with a slightly larger front than back.
In order to shape the buckram I made a couple of darts on a whim. I cut into the buckram and then had the edges overlap to make a dart and curve the buckram.
I felt that it was a bit bumpy though and I wanted to be more curved and smooth. For that I quickly dipped the buckram in hot water and shaped it on my wig block by just smoothing it out with my hands. It was my first time blocking buckram, but it was really fun and easy.
This is before the blocking.
And this is after the blocking. As you can see I have covered the wig block in clingfilm to protecte it from the sizing in the buckram when it was wet.
Then I added millinery wire along the edges, sewing it on by hand with buttonhole stitches. By bending the wire I got the hat to hold in a permanent shape that I wanted.
The final stage was to add mulling. For nice hats you use a fine wool or felt, I simply cut up an old microfleece blanket and glued it on with woodglue.
This is the final hat form. Next step will be to add some combs to the inside, so it will be stuck on the head, and then of course comes the choice of fabric and decorations for it.

Alexander Kasznel '15 puts degree to work in unconventional ways
Alexander Kasznel '15 isn't one to eschew a good challenge. It was true during his junior year, when he crossed an ocean to present at a professional conference, and also the following fall, when he decided to pursue a career in engineering, just a few months shy of earning a chemistry degree.
Today, Kasznel is a Ph.D. bioengineering candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. He recently came back to campus to share his experiences with students.
A Writing Center tutor and Dean's List student at Dickinson, Kasznel played trombone in the Jazz Band, Orchestra and DICE, joined Alpha Lambda Delta and earned several grants, scholarships and awards. In 2012, he served as writing assistant for a First-Year Seminar led by Associate Professor of Earth Sciences Peter Sak and went on to collaborate with Sak on a geochemistry student-faculty research project, testing soil along the Appalachian Trail, coauthoring a paper on the findings. Kasznel also took part in an undergraduate summer-research fellowship program at Drexel University, studying a biological process that allows DNA to be converted into protein, and worked on an independent research project on DNA crosslinking while studying abroad for a semester at the University of East Anglia, England.
As a study-abroad student, and with help from a Kenderdine grant, Kasznel traveled from England to Texas to present on his Drexel University work at the American Chemical Society conference. He'd been considering several career options—private industry, pharmacy, law—but after meeting a biochemical engineer at the conference, he found a new career path.
Kasznel had already settled on his fall course schedule at Dickinson when this epiphany arrived. Rather than make a late-game switch to Dickinson's 3-2 engineering program, he sought advice from his professors and crafted grad-school application essays highlighting his diverse research experiences. He entered the University of Pennsylvania's master's program in 2015, switching to the doctoral bioengineering track last July.
As part of a Penn research team that's synthesizing and characterizing collagen-model peptides, Kasznel admits he's had to quickly ramp up on specialized software programs that colleagues with B.S. degrees in engineering already knew. "The flip side is when you're working in a group, there are people from electrical engineering backgrounds who didn't know about cell biology," he adds. "Everyone brings something different to the table."
For Kasznel, that includes razor-sharp writing skills—essential for scientific reports, abstracts, papers and grant proposals—and the intellectual courage he finds in his liberal-arts background.
"When you go to a place like Dickinson, you're forced to go into a lot of classes that are not necessarily in your playing field, so it's not an unfamiliar experience to take on something new," he explains. "As a chemistry major taking a history class, you might think you will never need to know about the Peloponnesian War, and that might be technically true, but the experience of learning about a subject you know nothing about will be extremely helpful."
It's an inspiring message for Hannah Hartman '18 (biochemistry & molecular biology), who attended Kasznel's Feb. 3 career chat. "When you come here, you don't know where your Dickinson education might take you," she says. "It's helpful to be able to connect with someone who was in your shoes, not long ago."

Its here… Johnny The Hobby Artist "Planet Suicide"
Stephen Vicino June 4, 2020	Music Video, New Media, News Leave a comment
Originating from Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, Johnny R Sanford III, aka JRS3′ the HOBBY ARTIST has successfully earned a name for him by putting impact on the audience through his emotional yet captivating music that listeners just love. He is an emerging artist who creates amazing stories with his exceptionally good Hip Hop and Rap music for his listeners.
"It all started in High School for me when I was in the A'Capella choir, where I learned how to read and write music. Five years ago, I purchased a MacBook Pro and some necessary equipment and taught myself how to create music with it and the rest's history. I also founded JRS3 MUSIC LLC to handle the marketing, advertising, copywriting, and all the business part of JRS3. As an independent artist, I do it all singers, songwriter, video producer, and all the creative elements", says JRS3 about his musical journey so far.
JRS3 released his latest single "Planet Suicide" on May 17, 2020, which is a great amalgamation of various genres including EDM, Hip-Hop, and spoken word poetry, supported by eye-catching anime visuals. JRS3 has worked wonders with his lyrics that flow smoothly, along with the unmatched beats of the track.
JRS3 was motivated to write and produce this atypical piece because of the current situation of the world right now that he feels is about to come to an end, given all the factors contributing to it, he, therefore, has compared it with an apocalypse. This song is also about the people who are standing beside you, helping you, and looking out for you, through this challenging time.
The song is full of energy, powerful enough to make you stand up on your feet, and dance on the rocking beats until your legs give up.
JRS3's father Johnny R Sanford II is a respected preacher of the House of Saints Community Church in Palestine, Texas; also, he has an experience of over 24 years of law enforcement service. Both these factors are quite evident in the kind of music that he makes as these experiences have given him the ability to look at things in a different yet intriguing way.
Besides music, JRS3 loves to spend his time writing songs and poetry. He is truly a multifaceted artist with enchanting skills. He inspires his fans and listeners to always work hard and keep learning new things. Never stop looking for what you are good at and once you find it, excel at it. This is how life is supposed to be lived- with a motive to move forward.

Q: Gradle Spring Boot Rest Service Application Deployment in Azure I have been working on SpringBoot with Gradle tool. I am able to deploy the application locally. When I am trying to deploy using Microsoft Azure through GitHub the application got deployed. But I am not able to trigger the application services.
It means when I am trying to hit my REST service or Swagger page which is in application I am getting 404 error message on browser. I was able deploy the same using Heroku.
Note: I am new to Microsoft Azure. I have followed few Stack Overflow pages and Azure videos and Documents. But none of them were very helpful.

A: Per my experience, there are two ways for packaging a spring boot application, as an executable jar or a war file. I don't know which one is your choice.
If you packaged as an executable jar to deploy it on Azure WebApp, you need to create a web.xml file at the path wwwroot, and follow the document Upload a custom Java web app to Azure to configure it. The key configuration is for the attribute processPath with the value like java -jar <your spring boot executable jar file name>.jar.
If you packaged as a war file to deploy it on Azure WebApp, it's simple that you just need to refer to the document Add a Java application to Azure App Service Web Apps to upload the war file to the related directory webapps. However, if you didn't configure Azure WebApp with Java runtime, you also need to configure your Azure webapp instance on Azure portal or create a web.xml file to configure it as below.
Hope it helps.

Home / Bible Timeline / The Tokugawa Era, the Meiji Restoration, and the Rise of Japanese Nationalism
Posted on June 11, 2020 June 14, 2020 by Kat Cendana — Leave a comment
The Tokugawa Era, the Meiji Restoration, and the Rise of Japanese Nationalism
Japan was engulfed in political conflicts and wars between the 12th and 16th centuries. This period of upheaval ended during the reign of the Three Unifiers (Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu). Wary of foreigners and their influence, the shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu issued the sakoku edicts in 1635 and started the self-imposed isolation of Japan in 1639. The country would remain isolated until Commodore Matthew Perry and his "Black Ships" arrived off the coast of Japan in 1853. Japan was forced to open itself to the West, but its people resented the concessions it was forced to give to America and other European nations. This resentment of Western Imperialism would evolve into excessive nationalism and motivate Japan to prosperity by the end of the 19th century. These events are recorded on the Bible Timeline with World History during that time period.
The End of the Sengoku Period (1467-1603) and the Rise of the Tokugawa Era (1603–1868)
The first shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate was named Tokugawa Ieyasu,
During the early 1550s, Oda Nobunaga overcame rival daimyōs and started the long process of unifying a country during the last years of the Sengoku Period. He and his army terrorized the Japanese people, but were able to bring stability to a country torn by civil war. He and his soldiers were armed with Portuguese arquebuses which they used to the full extent to subdue daimyōs, samurais, and civilians alike. Oda Nobunaga died in 1582 after he was forced to commit seppuku by one of his vassals. He was succeeded by one of his generals, the brilliant and equally ruthless Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
By 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had defeated most of his enemies to become the most powerful man in Japan. Brutal yet more flexible than his predecessor, he consolidated power by playing off rivals until they eliminated each other. He viewed European missionaries with suspicion and started the persecution of Christians in his domain. He led the Japanese invasion of Korea which devastated the kingdom during the last years of his reign.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in 1598 and was succeeded by his young son who was to be guided by appointed regents until he came of age. The regents and various generals promptly ignored him and soon embroiled themselves in a civil war. They came to a head in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 which was won by Tokugawa Ieyasu and his supporters. He also defeated Hideyori, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son, when the boy came of age.
Tokugawa Ieyasu took for himself the prefectures of Nara, Kyoto, Edo, Nagasaki, and Osaka as fiefs. He ruled as shōgun (military dictator) starting in 1603, but soon abdicated in favor of his son Hidetada. Although he was technically a retired shogun, he still wielded considerable power up until his death in 1616.
Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Dutch traders and evangelists flocked to Japan during the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate. The Europeans played each other off in their quest to dominate the Japanese market and acquire converts, but their strategies soon backfired. Tokugawa Ieyasu had always been wary of foreign and Christian influence on his subjects, leading him to prohibit trading and evangelization activities in his domain. (The only exception to the rule were the Dutch traders whom the Japanese perceived as pragmatic and cooperative.) In 1614, Japanese and European Christians alike were persecuted. The shōgun's heirs maintained the anti-Christian policies until the end of the Tokugawa shogunate in the 19th century.
The Tokugawa shogunate's anti-foreign stance hardened during the mid-1600s. The deep-seated suspicion on foreigners led the shōgun to impose the edicts of seclusion (sakoku) starting in 1635. Japanese citizens were not allowed to travel abroad, while foreign traders and European missionaries were ordered to leave Japan. Those who left and dare to come back were punished with death. The shōgun ordered the destruction of large ships to discourage the Japanese people from leaving the country.
Although feudal and backward, the Tokugawa era was generally a period marked by peace and stability. Though Japan still had an emperor, he and his family faded into obscurity. The shōgun was the head of the bakufu (military dictatorship) and was at the top of the hierarchy. He was followed by various daimyōs and samurais. Those who were at the bottom of the hierarchy (peasants, artisans, and merchants) were expected to toe the line.
Cracks in the Tokugawa shogunate started to appear during the 1830s when Japan was plagued by droughts. Famine set in, and people soon died of starvation. The hoarding done by ruthless traders led to the rising prices of grain. Starving people engaged in protests, but these assemblies sometimes led to riots. The bakufu implemented reforms, but these measures often came too late.
Even samurais were not immune to changing fortunes during the last decades of the Tokugawa shogunate. They were forced to work other jobs, as well as contribute a part of their stipend to an incompetent government. Unable to maintain them any longer, some daimyōs were forced to let their samurais go. These masterless samurais (rōnins) sometimes became bodyguards of wealthier people or mercenaries.
Japan remained irresistible to the West despite its self-imposed isolation. Britain tried to initiate trade but was rebuffed by the bakufu. During the late 1700s and early 1800s, news of Russia's colonization of eastern Siberia reached Japan. The bakufu prepared for any eventuality by tightening its control on the Ainus of Hokkaido. American ships also made attempts to land in Japan but were turned away.
Japan's isolation was finally lifted when the American Commodore Matthew Perry and his flotilla of steamships arrived in the Edo Bay on July 8, 1853. Perry insisted on delivering a letter from President Fillmore to the "emperor" (it was, in fact, the shōgun). The letter contained a request for trade and diplomatic relations, shelter and provisions for stranded American whalers, and coal for their ships. The presence of the large steamships and the volley of the gunner's practice shots compelled the Japanese authorities to receive Commodore Perry's letter. Perry and his flotilla left, but not before promising to return to Japan one year later.
Despite Japan's isolation, the bakufu was aware of China's defeat and humiliation at the hands of Britain and her allies during the First Opium War. They feared that the Americans would do something similar, so some daimyōs counseled the shogun to resist any attempts to open the country to foreigners. Other daimyōs, however, acknowledged that Japan had remained isolated for so long that its weapons and army had become outdated. They simply would not stand a chance against foreign forces in the event of an invasion.
Perry and his flotilla returned in early 1534. Representatives of the bakufu signed the Treaty of Kanagawa with Perry but gave few concessions to their American counterparts. Perry, however, was satisfied with the outcome and left Japan in the same year. His visit was followed by Townsend Harris who became the first American consul general in Japan. He succeeded in forcing the bakufu to sign the Treaty of Shimoda in 1858 after insinuating that the humiliations China suffered might also happen to Japan if it did not comply.
The Treaty of Shimoda included terms that were advantageous only to Western nations. Apart from trade concessions, the treaty also granted Europeans and Americans the right to reside in or near the treaty ports and enjoy the benefit of extraterritoriality. Although it was not included in the treaty, foreigners began to bring Christianity back to Japan's shores. Cheap goods from the West flooded Japan's market, rendering local manufacturers unable to compete.
Japan was also forced to set the tariff on imported goods at a measly 5 percent, as well as grant the Most Favored Nation status on all Western nations which traded in its ports. What angered the Japanese authorities most was the fact that they were bound to this treaty forever. There was also no way for them to revise the terms without the consent of all concerned foreign powers.
The enemies of the Tokugawa shōgun felt that the bakufu had conceded much in dealing with the "barbarians." They believed that this behavior was unbecoming of a shōgun and that he no longer held the privilege to rule them. Enemies of the Tokugawa shōgun—particularly the daimyōs of Satsuma and Chōshū—saw their chance to topple him during the early 1860s. They formed the Satchō Alliance with the intent of restoring the emperor to the seat of power after getting rid of the shōgun.
The humiliations Japan suffered after the bakufu signed the Treaty of Shimoda gave way to nationalism. To counter their feelings of inferiority, traditionalists asserted that Japanese culture and religion were superior to those of the "barbarian West." The clamor to restore the emperor also became louder among the Japanese population.
Taking a cue from China, the nation embarked on its own "self-strengthening" program. Intellectuals learned about Western science and technology and translated Western books into Japanese. For the first time, Japanese students were allowed to leave their homeland and travel to the United States to study. Samurais were also sent by their daimyōs abroad to learn Western military tactics and acquire knowledge on Western weapons. Unlike in China, however, Japan's "self-strengthening" program was a success story.
The Fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate
As years passed, the anti-foreign feelings of nationalistic Japanese often manifested in violence against Europeans and Americans living in the country. Foreign envoys promptly protested to the bakufu, but the shōgun's position was already tenuous among his people so there was nothing he could do. The foreigners retaliated by bombarding Shimonoseki (the stronghold of the Chōshū clan) and Kagoshima (the stronghold of the Satsuma clan). The Satsuma clan secretly befriended the British to get them to stop the bombardment, and claimed that members of their clan had managed to drive the enemy away. This was done so they could save face.
The Satsuma clan was now subdued, so the Chōshū clan took up the slack. In 1863, the emperor decided to once again isolate Japan and gave the foreigners an ultimatum. When the foreigners refused to leave, the Chōshū clan fired upon Western ships off the coast of Shimonoseki. The American, Dutch, English, and French fleet promptly retaliated and overcame the Chōshū clan in September 1864.
Frustrated in their efforts to dislodge the foreigners, the Satsuma and Chōshū daimyō focused on toppling the Tokugawa shogunate and strengthening the Japanese military instead. The shogun died in September 1866, and it was followed by the emperor in the following year. This emboldened the daimyōs to convince the new shōgun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, to retire. The shōgun agreed and allowed the restoration of Japan's Yamato Dynasty to the seat of power. The 15-year old Prince Mutsuhito acceded the throne and took the name Emperor Meiji ("Enlightened One") in 1868.
A short civil war (the Boshin War) ensued when the former shogun refused to give up his extensive lands and return them to the crown. The Tokugawa forces, however, were soon defeated and the family was forced to give up their claims to the lands. From then on, the Emperor and his ministers were free to implement reforms and usher Japan into the 20th century.

Reconfiguring Families in Contemporary Vietnam

Author: Danièle Bélanger

Category: Social Science
Reconfiguring Families in Contemporary Vietnam chronicles and analyzes the most significant change for families in Vietnam's recent past – the transition to a market economy, referred to as Doi Moi in Vietnamese and generally translated as the "renovation". Two decades have passed since the wide-ranging institutional transformations that took place reconfigured the ways families produce and reproduce. The downsizing of the socialist welfare system and the return of the household as the unit of production and consumption redefined the boundaries between the public and private. This volume is the first to offer a multidisciplinary perspective that sets its gaze exclusively on processes at work in the everyday lives of families, and on the implications for gender and intergenerational relations. By focusing on families, this book shifts the spotlight from macro transformations of the renovation era, orchestrated by those in power, to micro-level transformations, experienced daily in households between husbands and wives, parents and children, grandparents and other family members.
