Q: On Span Click - Insert rows into MySQL with page refresh I've got a page where I display rows from MySQL table.
while($row2 = $result2->fetch_assoc()) { ?>

         <?php echo ($row2["miasto"]);  ?>

      <span class="label label-primary delete" id="<?php echo ($row2["miasto"]);  ?>">

on a span click .delete I would like to get this row deleted from a database and page refreshed without those rows and with alert to be present.
I'm able to do a on click action in Jquery:
$(document).ready(
    function(){
        $(".delete").click(function () {
$.post( "miastousun.php", { mdu: (this.id)} );

and than on php of miastousun.php:
$sql = "DELETE FROM miasta_zmiany WHERE Miasto_dodaj='".($_POST['mdu'])."";

but does not seem to work. What I'm doing wrong?

A: Try this ajax code.
$( document ).on( 'click', '.delete', function() {
    var thisId = $(this).attr('id');
    $.ajax({
          type: 'POST',
          url: 'miastousun.php?mdu='+thisId,
          success: function(data){
            alert('Message something');
          },
          error: function(errorThrown){
            alert(errorThrown);
          }
    });
});

Sweet sixteen—a time of so many changes. Learning to drive, first dates, preparing for college, and, if you're Emily Shepard, a nuclear reactor meltdown near your tiny town in Vermont, your parents disappearing, and being evacuated from your school with only the clothes on your back. This is sixteen as seen by Chris Bohjalian in his new novel, Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands.
When Emily and her classmates are dropped off at a college deemed a safe distance from what appears to be a massive nuclear disaster, her mind is already racing with possibilities and as her friends start clicking away on their phones she knows it is only a matter of minutes before what she fears most will be on their faces. Her father is the chief engineer at the plant and her mother is the head of public relations. The only thing they may not know is her father has a drinking problem but that will come out at some point. As she frantically tries to call both her parents with no results the worry everyone else feels turns to terror for her. If they are dead, then people, angry important people, are going to be looking for answers and for her. She slips away and embarks on a lonely journey to survive and, despite the insanity of this thought, to get home.
Bohjalian has always been able to capture time and place in his novels but it is his ability to mind meld with his protagonists that makes his work resonate. Emily is not some super hero, star student/athlete, perfect teen. She is bright, but with a lot of attitude. As she freely admits judgment and impulse control are not her strongest suits. Close Your Eyes is written from her point of view and in doing so Bohjalian is able to contrast the normal workings of the teen mind against the very adult situation in which Emily finds herself. A broader view of the accident and the resulting fallout would not be nearly as dramatic as seeing it from inside Emily's head. As she runs to safety in another Vermont town she does so completely on her own. No one knows who she is or where she is. At one point, she befriends a nine-year-old boy, Cameron, when she sees he has been abused by his foster family. Despite being hardly able to take care of herself she appoints herself as his guardian and his wellbeing becomes a focus greater than her desire to get home.
Close Your Eyes is not a treatise on the evils of nuclear power or any of the larger themes that place Emily in her situation. It is about something just as hard to see: the lack of any kind of support system for young people without homes, with no hope of having their basic needs being met. Bohjalian sears us with the reality of life on the street in what Emily has to do to survive. This is a girl who had a home, a safe place to sleep and eat, with parents who loved her and a dog she loved. Despite her tough attitude she is still innocent in many ways. All she wants is to get home, even if home has been deemed off limits to all humans and is under military control. Without a misstep, Bohjalian blends current events with the esoteric flotsam in a teenager's mind, and in so doing brings us into Emily's world. We too wonder what to do next and how this will all turn out.
I can go either way with Bohjalian, but this one sounds good. The whole nucelar meltdown thing works for me. Thanks for the review, I may have overlooked it otherwise.
I feel like I've heard endless good things about this, but yours is the first review I really sat down to read (maybe I shouldn't admit that). I'm glad I finally know what it's about because it really sounds like something I'd enjoy.
Bohjalian's books always seem to hit the perspective that makes the story the best it can be.
This premise is darn-near irresistible for me. Seriously gonna have to try it.
I haven't read Bohjalian but this one sounds pretty fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
Great review! This book sounds so interesting — not at all what I was expecting it to be about, given the rather generic title.

Dr. O'Donnell announced that unfortunately, we had to close Mount Nittany Middle School today until further notice due to effects of excessive moisture. Specialists were brought in to investigate and test the environment and we hope to have results tomorrow. The safety of our students and employees is our primary concern and will ensure the building is safe before we allow it to be reoccupied. Meanwhile, MNMS office staff and administration is working out of Mount Nittany Elementary School.

The first day for teachers is next Tuesday, we have been preparing schools for the opening and months of learning ahead. Families can check bus route information via the Parent Portal/HAC online or call 814-231-1033 for bus-related questions.

--Human Resource Recommendations (refer to attachment IV-N)
Mr. Leous moved and Mr. Hutchinson seconded to approve the Routine Approvals Listing minus Item IV-G, bid award for pizza. This will be the first action item. Board members discussed having more time to look at other options, how long ago did this outside provider start, and the possibility for a locally owned business. Ms. Schaper came to the table and provided information that she could take quotes for locally owned but not sure they could do the capacity needed; there was collaboration here with student voice; they want a national brand recognition; and this began about 15 years ago. Approximately 85% of the students in elementary and middle school buy lunch on this day. Ms. Schaper noted there were no issues when the bid originally went out and recommendation is due to good criteria.
Mr. Fozard noted a correction for a salary under the non-certified section in the HR Report - $1800/hour needs a decimal point for $18.00/hour. Mr. Leous and Mr. Hutchinson accepted the salary amendment to the motion. With the motion moved and seconded above to approve the Routine Approvals Listing minus Item IV-G and the amendment for salary, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
V. BID AWARD FOR PIZZA in SCHOOL CAFETERIAS
A motion to approve the annual bid award for Papa John's Pizza in the school cafeterias for 2018-2019 as presented. Mr. Fozard moved and Mr. Leous seconded to approve the motion. Board members commented, offered suggestions and had questions regarding this item. If it was not approved today, Ms. Schaper did have a little time prior to school starting, but up to the vendor to pull together this quickly; this is a franchise here and not comfortable holding people accountable that has no involvement; capacity could be very different and difficult with a local vendor vs. a corporate company and students want a national brand recognition. This decision was based on criteria and a point value. Sales decreased when a former low bid was chosen and do not want that to happen. With the motion moved and seconded above to approve the annual bid award for Papa John's Pizza in the school cafeterias for 2018-2019, and with all board members present, five members voted aye, four board members voted nay (Dr. Bader, Ms. Bedell, Ms. Brandt and Ms. Concepcion) on a roll call vote. The motion passed 5 to 4.
VI. APPOINT BAKER TILLY for AUDIT/TAX SERVICES for EDUCATION FOUNDATION
A motion to approve the engagement of Baker Tilly for Audit/Tax Services for the SCASD Education Foundation as presented. Dr. Duffy moved and Mr. Leous seconded to approve the motion. There was no discussion. With the motion moved and seconded, and with all board members present, eight board members voted aye and one board member abstained (Mr. Fozard due to a conflict of interest with receiving a monthly benefit from Baker Tilly due to a buyout situation) on a roll call vote. The motion passed 8 to 1 abstention.
VII. APPROVE STUDENT ATTENDING CPI for 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR
A motion to approve a student to attend CPI for 2018-2019 school year as presented. Mr. Leous moved and Ms. Bedell seconded to approve the motion. There was no discussion. With the motion moved and seconded, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
VIII. APPROVE 2018-2019 ATHLETIC TICKET PRICES
A motion to approve the 2018-2019 Athletic Ticket Prices as presented. Dr. Duffy moved and Mr. Leous seconded to approve the motion. There was no discussion. With the motion moved and seconded, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.

The motion passed unanimously.
X. PROPOSAL for YEAR TWO of SCASD K-5 PMI
A motion to approve the Proposal for year two of SCASD K-5 Pennsylvania Math Initiative (PMI) as presented. Ms. Bedell moved and Mr. Leous seconded to approve the motion. There was no discussion. With the motion moved and seconded, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
XI. APPROVE QUOTES for DOOR ACCESS INSTALLATION
A motion to accept the quotes not to exceed $21,799.30 for installation and software licensing as part of the door hardware access installation project. Mr. Fozard moved and Dr. Duffy seconded to approve the motion. Board member questioned the three vendors and Mr. Zepp explained that each vendor provides a different service for different items installed. Quotes are not for the same job. With the motion moved and seconded above, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
XII. APPROVE NORTH FIELD PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
A motion to accept the recommendation for North Field Project as presented. Mr. Fozard moved and Dr. Duffy seconded to approve the motion. Mr. Poprik responded to a few questions noting
The lighting piece and all has been reviewed with the Borough; it meets the ordinance; and all has been worked out. The lights will need to be off one-half hour after the end of the event; the weather is severely hampering progress for use of the field and will be playing on for sure for spring sports. Board member acknowledged the thorough description and development of the memo. With the motion moved and seconded above, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
XIII. SUMMER FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS and SERVICE CONTRACTS
A motion to accept quotes for summer facility improvement projects and service contracts located in the District as presented. Mr. Fozard moved and Mr. Leous seconded to approve the motion.
Board members questioned and commented on the Skateboard Deterrents at the High School and Mr. Poprik explained the protection for the wooden benches, there would be two/bench, one at each end, and the bench is still very usable. Ms. Concepcion asked about water bottle refilling and Mr. Poprik noted he is getting a vendor lined up for this. With the motion moved and seconded above, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
XIV. APPROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECTS CHANGE ORDERS
A motion to approve Elementary School Projects Change Orders presented:
Ms. Bedell moved and Mr. Leous seconded to approve the motion. Mr. Poprik noted that Mr. Little, and Ms. Gorgas and Mr. Jones from Massaro, joined him at the table. He and Mr. Jones are taking care of the High School and Mr. Little and Ms. Gorgas are on the Elementary Projects. Board member questioned the $13,000 Radio Park plug wiring. Mr. Poprik noted the initial quantity Was not accurate and there are 32 areas at Radio Park alone. These are specific plugs and only specification was the pump and these plugs do not come with the pump, thus the cost. With the motion moved and seconded above, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
XV. APPROVE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT CHANGE ORDERS
A motion to approve High School Project Change Orders presented:
Mr. Leous moved and Ms. Bedell seconded to approve the motion. With a board member questioning GC#169, Mr. Poprik explained the cost for the general contractor due to the construction of a 36 foot wall due to the areas of acceleration (library and guidance office). Fire alarms could be other small amounts. An explanation was also given by Mr. Jones for PC#27 due to a Life-Safety generator not being able to take a gas feed from outside of the building. With the motion moved and seconded above, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
XVI. DISTRICT GOAL CATEGORY: FACILITIES and GROUNDS
High School Project Update
Mr. Poprik noted being disheartened by the rainy weather. It has had a negative impact on the High School and Elementary building projects. He is hoping to present an open project for the first day of school. There could be some messy weeks coming up. The High School is a beautiful building with a very ugly lawn right now. Mr. Jones reviewed Phase 3 with the Music Wing and Auditorium with the mud being a few feet deep; the Student Success Hub, Media Center Finishes, Counseling Center and Courtyard that will be open to students the first day of school. He reviewed Phase 4 Aux Gym Renovation on the North side; the two-story wall that masons are building between the kitchen and Delta building and Delta foundations; the north parking lot, south parking lot (Phase 3), and Phase 1 Punch List work and landscape Punch List work also. Mr. Jones spoke on the fall traffic pattern with all bus traffic on the South, and traffic light at the main entrance with work expected this fall into October. Upcoming work, projects stats and schedule were reviewed. Mr. Poprik noted they are now looking at problems for next summer due to the rain this summer.
Elementary School Projects Update
Ms. Gorgas reviewed each of the Elementary Projects starting with Corl Street School: Move in to Phase 1 is on schedule for January 2019; masonry has been affected but proceeding with the second floor, slab on deck and work proceeding with the multi-purpose room that is the last piece to finalize; the weather not affecting parking here, mechanicals are going in, and ready for West Penn scheduled for next week. Overall the moving forward is going well and have 159 days with no recordable accidents. At Spring Creek School there is no concern for move-in next August; rain has affected site work and will affect next summer since the overflow parking lot did not take place this summer, but will occur in 2019. They are cleaning things up now for the start of school, reviewed upcoming work, and have 165 days with no recordable accidents. Showed Radio Park School with finish materials in Areas A and B, Solar Panels on Areas A and B, equipment startup, noted inspections are progressing nicely, air quality testing on Sunday, and CRCA is scheduled Wednesday-Friday for staff occupancy. Ms. Gorgas reviewed the areas of school vs. construction, traffic patterns and access to building, parking for the start of school, and the timeline for the first day of school. They are on schedule for move-in to Phase 1 August 2018 and currently have 51 days without recordable accidents.
Board member asked about the large graphics and if they have been selected. Mr. Poprik noted they were selected in the spring and named the patterns for each building. Mr. Brown thanked the District team, Massaro and CRA people. They have been doing a great job.
Playground RFP
Mr. Poprik explained that the playground masterplanning was outlined in the memo provided.
Of the six firms chosen to receive the RFP, four submitted a proposal with fees related. He took these to the CAC for Facilities and Grounds, received feedback, and noted Ms. Bedell and Ms. Zydney were present. Mr. Poprik provided a general sense of the discussion for each proposal. There is a need to determine what the process will be and be aggressive with some of this since there will be two schools with no playgrounds next summer. Board members commented and made suggestions. Mr Poprik noted Board Facilities and Grounds Committee and CAC for Facilities will be included for interviews and also videotape interviews. He spoke about a taskforce of 30 people and will have this on the next Facilities and Grounds Committee agenda. He would like to keep pushing forward with this, have a timeline for the process, ideas of what we want and asked board members for their consent to do so. Seven of the board members consented for Ed to move forward with two firms, Pashek-MTR and Metcalfe, recommendation from CAC for Facilities.
XVII. RESEARCH PROPOSAL (Agenda Item VI-D moved up)
Dr. Stout noted this came to the Board rather late and this research proposal is related to concussions with athletes. The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of repeated sub-concussive hits, within subjects, on postural stability and general brain function. The goal of the study, criteria and protocol for the study, and testing procedures were reviewed. This also has Penn State University IRB approval. During the season, they will evaluate hits with a sensor in the helmet and for the study; they would like ten High School players and ten Middle School players to participate; they do have a preference for speciality positions, i.e., linemen, but will also consider players with parents that are interested. The research will be for this season and this is just to identify, not diagnose. Mr. Leous moved and Ms. Brandt seconded to move this item to action. All board members present voted aye with a voice vote. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Leous moved and Dr. Duffy seconded to approve the research proposal presented. There was no discussion. With the motion moved and seconded, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously.
Board members took a break from 9:13 to 9:24 p.m.
XVIII. DISTRICT GOAL CATEGORY: HUMAN RESOURCES
TalentEd Employment Recruitment
Ms. Pierce noted the system they are currently using is not applicant friendly or administrative friendly for the Human Resources office. She explained her process of researching 20 vendors, talked with 12 of the vendors and asked six vendors to come in and do a presentation. She had a committee of 20 people for the presentations. Two vendors were selected, there was a great cost difference with TalentEd being much lower, and contacted Districts in PA that use this product.
All were very positive about it. If approved, this should be up and running in November. Board member confirmed if applicants would access this and show interest in employment, to which Ms. Pierce confirmed. Ms. Zydney moved and Dr. Duffy seconded to move this item to action. All board members present voted aye with voice vote. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Zydney moved and Dr. Duffy seconded to approve TalentEd as the recruiting software as presented. With the motion moved and seconded, all board members present voted aye on a roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously. Board member noted a good interface and wanting to work here is very important.
XIX. WONDERLAND CHARTER SCHOOL UPDATE
Dr. Etter spoke on information that he and District administrators gathered in the initial stages of the Wonderland Charter School five-year renewal request; Mr. Bock, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education, had personal meetings or phone conversations with 16 people associated in one form or another with Wonderland, to include a former Board member, parents of current or former or prospective students, and teachers, who among them had some association with Wonderland for a period of approximately 10 years. Dr. Etter noted that as of July 31, 2018, the day when Wonderland Board adopted a Resolution to close the school and surrender its charter, some areas of inquiry were complete but many remained open. He spoke on Wonderland's legal obligations as a charter, special education and what we knew on June 4, 2018. He spoke on the following: Wonderland was out of compliance in 2013 in 56 out of 869 issues; May of 2014 regarding Special Education and a complaint from a former parent with an evaluation of her daughter and failed to comply; and for 2016-2017, we received notification from the Department of Health that Wonderland violated the Code for School Dentist and/or Dental Screenings and we are waiting for a significant report. Other additional concerns are: administering assessment to student(s) and re-administering the assessment until results are 5 out of 5; minutes show the charter school had paid costs of the trademark; Mr. and Mrs. Ohnmeis are voting members of the Board; after a conversation, Board member voted on something for herself; Mr. Ohnmeis generated bills and lease handling over to himself; he would recommend a vote, would vote, and cut the check, which is highly questionable. No bidding of construction work was ever done and not given to lowest bidder; Spoke on financial income and in 2016-2017 most recent CEO had no income from Wonderland; and IRS files 990 - all that should be reported, was not reported. Dr. Etter will continue to review documents.
Board member that was not present for the June 4 meeting noted that the hearing was cancelled. If Wonderland had not relinquished their Charter, would they have had the opportunity to address these issues and Dr. Etter responded "absolutely."
XX. DRAFT BOARD COMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULE for 2018-2019
Dr. Duffy noted the concern for the requirements for administrator(s) participation, and the schedule provides a balance of committee structure and administrators doing their jobs. Dr. O'Donnell noted there are situations to add meetings or work sessions on off Mondays. He suggested having a Board Committee meeting on a Board meeting night to provide flexibility. During the day, especially a school day, we are pulling people from buildings. Board members shared comments, suggestions, and concerns with what was presented. It was decided to go with this schedule for three months, to the Reorganization Meeting, and then revisit.

The image below and the ones in the video were processed by combining infrared photos taken by the Large Binocular with the H-alpha pictures captured by the Magellan telescope. The team also had to remove the host star's overwhelming light and the disturbance brought about by the Earth's atmosphere, but it's clear that they successfully took a photo of planet formation. Sallum, Follette and the rest of the group plan to continue observing the protoplanet in hopes that it can help us better understand the formation of solar systems. Besides, their data suggests that two other baby planets are lurking nearby, and we'll bet they'd love to see those, as well. In addition, if the LkCa 15 b is indeed responsible for the gap observed in the solar system's gas-and-dust donut, then disk gaps could be used as an indicator that a planet is being born.

story – How was the 546 satoshis dust limit chosen? Why not 550 satoshis?
Technically, the dust limit is not fixed: it varies according to the type of output. 546 satoshis is simply the best known, for a p2pkh output. Being the type of output with the longest life, I suspect that some portfolios / blog articles / literature might treat it as a hard-coded dust limit.
To arrive at 546 satoshis, one must first know what "dust" means. A dust outlet is an outlet whose cost of expenditure is greater than its value. Even worse, an X BTC output that costs> X to spend is a dusty output. This is directly proportional to the amount of data required to spend an output, since the bitcoin fees are usually referred to as "bytes". The more you have to add bytes to your show to spend an output, the higher its dust threshold.
A very basic tx with 1 input p2pkh (~ 148 bytes) and 1 output p2pkh (~ 34 bytes) equals 182 bytes. The dust limit is 3 times this number (assuming a 1 satoshi relay fee), or 182 * 3 = 546 Sats.
For more complex txs, such as p2sh, this number is larger. For less space-hungry solutions, such as new segment options, this number would be lower.

One man and his ferret raise over £1,000
Last month Charlie Hammerton, an RAF veteran and his pet ferret, Bandit made the journey from Nottinghamshire to Oosterbeck in Holland to complete an eight mile walk to raise money for Combat Stress.
Both Charlie and Bandit wore WW2 uniform for the walk from the original drop zones in Oosterbeck to Arnhem Bridge.
"I have been to the area a number of times before, I've done parachute jumps, cycled and run, but never walked. Bandit and I walked the length of Hadrian's Wall together for Motor Neurone disease earlier this year, so I decided to bring him along too.
"Walking with Bandit definitely attracted a lot of attention, it was great to meet people and we even got some more donations along the way. They're aware of why people go out there each year and were more interested in why I was walking with a ferret. People were shocked and curious, but also really thankful when I explained what we were doing.
"As a former serviceman myself, I have come to appreciate the work of veterans charities. I've also been on the receiving end of mental health treatment, which gave me an insight into what a challenging condition PTSD can be. If the money we've raised for Combat Stress could help just one veteran it would all be worth it."
Robert Marsh, Director of Income Generation said "We're really grateful to Charlie and Bandit for choosing to support Combat Stress.
"Each year we receive more than 2,000 referrals from former servicemen and women struggling with their mental health. The money raised by fundraisers, like Charlie and Bandit means we can continue to support every veteran that comes to us for help."
To sponsor Charlie and Bandit please visit their Just Giving page.

Back in Business: Los Olivos' Historic Mattei's Tavern Reopens
By Gabe Saglie
(published in the Santa Barbara News-Press on July 18, 2013)
When the doors reopened at Mattei's Tavern in Los Olivos Friday, July 19th, it marked a fresh new chapter on a historic hotspot. As a popular stagecoach stop run by Felix Mattei, it quenched the thirst of weary travelers as far back as 1886. Its most recent stint as a destination eatery came under the direction of brothers Jeff and Matt Nichols, who moved out last year after a decade in business to open up a now-thriving eatery just around the corner.
The Mattei's Tavern story continues now with Chef Robbie Wilson and his wife and business partner, Emily Perry Wilson. The couple, married three years, most recently lived in Nashville, where they opened four restaurants. But a new partnership with Charles Banks, the former investment manager who runs a bevy of boutique wine brands through investment firm Terroir Capital and who just this year got final approval for a new hotel project right across the street from Mattei's, has brought them to Santa Barbara wine country.
"We have found our forever place," says Mrs. Perry Wilson, 40, who adds that she's fascinated by the diversity of people – "from ranchers to film executives" – who live in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Her husband quickly continues, "We choose to live here and raise a family first, and to open a restaurant second."
But it's the opening of a high profile dining spot that's certainly consumed their lives for almost a year now. The two made the move to Los Olivos last October "to work on the concept of the restaurant," says Mr. Wilson, 43. They broke ground on enhancements and improvements in February of this year, with final touches taking place right through their "soft opening" tomorrow.
The pair is not oblivious to some of the buzzing concern in the community about the changes coming to a revered and highly coveted property. So they make no qualms about their focus. "This is all about paying homage to this property and to one of the greatest valleys in the world," says the new chef, adding with a laugh, "We'd be morons if we changed the name of the place!"
Indeed, their attention to historical detail has been well scrutinized. Revamping Mattei's has meant adhering to a bevy of requests by HLAC, the Historic Landmarks Advisory Committee, which designated the property a Santa Barbara County Historic Landmark three years ago. Doorways, fireplaces and wainscoting had to remain intact, for example. Colors had to be approved. And experts had to be hired to advise on a slew of restoration details.
But in the midst of jumping through hoops, the Wilsons have accomplished something impressive, especially in the way they've coupled historic reverence with a fresh, new, exciting take on wine country dining.
The new Mattei's Tavern offers no less than five separate dining venues, "each with its own personality," says Chef Wilson. To the right of the main entrance is the bar, decked out in rich, dark hues, like the historic Essex Green on the walls. A quaint dining alcove has been built around the fireplace, above which a ceiling mural of the Santa Ynez Valley will be painted soon. The dinner menu will be available here, though the signature dish is a $14 hamburger, decked out with bacon marmalade and homemade pimento cheese and served on a toasted brioche bun.
To the left of the main doors is the Stage Room, where ticket holders once waited for their stagecoaches to arrive. Now, it's designed as a hangout for cocktail aficionados. There are 14 old world-inspired concoctions on the menu, like "The Gov'ner," featuring Yamazaki 12-year whiskey, toasted cardamom, agave and orange, and the "Cousin Bob Fails His Driving Test," made with Johnny Drum bourbon, sweet Carpano Antica vermouth, sake and bitters. All spirits are kept on a rolling cart, since all cocktails – priced at $14 – are made tableside.
Mr. Wilson envisions the adjoining Red Room as an ideal spot for private events. The club-like atmosphere here is marked by flickering gas lights and old black-and-white photographs. The original red wallpaper still hangs on the walls, accentuated by mohair banquets with matching red velvet.
The Whicker Room gives diners an open, bright place to enjoy a meal, as well as wide outside views. The centerpiece here may be what the Wilsons call "The Table," with seating that can be altered to accommodate groups of varying size; proceeds from dinner checks at this table will go to a local charity, which will be rotated monthly.
Outside, in the back, the "Watering Hole" plays up Los Olivos' en plein air charms and features picnic tables with umbrellas, fire pits and bocce ball courts. Vintage red coolers will allow diners to chill their bottles. A wood shed, with chalkboards on the walls, will give children a place for creative distraction. And a large wood burning pizza oven (where Chef Wilson is experimenting with avocado wood) will crank out pies to order. (This area abuts the new Terroir Wines tasting room, which features the impressive lineup of Mr. Banks' proprietary labels, including Sandhi, Leviathan and Mayacamas.)
Mattei's Tavern's brand new kitchen is an exhibition tour de force and, by Santa Ynez Valley restaurant standards, quite large. Diners have a few special spots to sit, eat and watch the culinary action here, including a couple of counter chairs and a stunning Winemakers Table, made from a local tree by neighbor artisan Frank Palmer; area winemakers will be invited to sit here, sign in on a hanging board and open their bottles with no corkage fee. "We want the energy of these people here," insists Chef Wilson.
The kitchen features brand new, custom-built Viking ranges. And a large Santa Maria-style red oak-burning barbecue grill comes complete with oversize butcher block, where "we'll be slicing up big bone-in rib-eyes and beautiful, large rotisserie chickens," says the chef. "It's our interpretation of what Mattei's used to be." The butcher station will be adorned with a mural depicting Gin Lung Gin, the Chinese cook who was Felix Mattei's original full-time chef.
The back kitchen, where the chef pipes in jazz music for his staff, features custom refrigeration units, a specialized pastry area and a cold butcher room "to break down meats," says Mr. Wilson.
When it comes to the menu, Chef Wilson clearly designed it with the region in mind. "All of our produce is from this valley, 80% of our proteins are from this area and all of our seafood is right from our own Pacific Ocean," he says. But perhaps more remarkable is the creativity and whimsy with which dishes, like these specialty platters, were created: "Morro Bay's Greatest Hits" ($59) features oysters, sweet shrimp and Hamachi served on a Lazy Susan-turned record player; "Felix Mattei's Dirty Laundry" ($33) is a charcuterie selection served on a tiny clothes line; and "An Assortment of Lettuces" ($36) features local leaves presented in a flower pot and cut on to the plate at the table by your server.
To further illustrate whimsy: the kids' menu – playfully dubbed "Anklebiters" and featuring items like cheeseburger, pasta, salmon and "Grilled Steak with a Stick Coming out the End of it!" – is printed inside a bright red, real-life Viewfinder.
Much of the menu – with starters ranging from $12-$19 and main dishes from $21-$29 – is separated historically. Items inspired by Felix Mattei, and designated "1886," include grilled artichoke, beef tartar, pork shank, skirt steak and wood-fired chicken. Dishes inspired by a modern-day Los Olivos, under the heading "2013," include Hamachi chorizo, grilled octopus, a 36-hour-cooked brisket, slow-roasted sea bass and on-the-bone Salisbury lamb.
Numerous sides, like crispy brussel sprouts and cream corn brulée, are meant to encourage diners to customize their meals.
The wine list here is easily one of the most comprehensive in the area. There are close to 20 wines by the glass and the by-the-bottle options, arranged by grape variety, surpass 200. The lineup of vintage Champagnes includes several coveted Dom Perignon selections. And while the focus is certainly on local wines – including celebrated labels like Ojai Vineyard, Au Bon Climat, Tatomer, Liquid Farm, and Foxen – international wine growing regions like Burgundy, Alsace, Tuscany, South Africa and Germany are also very well represented.
As the clock tick-tocked toward its grand reopening, Mrs. Perry Wilson was quick to call this very detailed culinary project a "labor of love." And her husband, who shies away from discussing his impressive background in this industry (which includes several high-profile restaurants, like French Laundry), focused on what's ahead. "We want people to come here and linger here," he said, "because this is all about Los Olivos and a celebration of the spirit of this valley."
Mattei's Tavern, 2350 Railway Ave., Los Olivos. 805-688-3550. Dinner Wed.-Sun from 5pm and lunch Fri.-Sun. (starting July 26)

Back in Business: Los Olivos' Historic Mattei's Ta...


Eating healthy... but not losing weight. Help!
"I am running and eating pretty healthy, but I am not losing weight. What am I doing wrong?"
I got this question over the weekend, so I wanna dive in!
--->This is not me hating on calories or saying that you need to count calories to lose weight. Nope. Not saying that one bit.
A lot of times we think because something is healthy, we can eat as much of it as we want.
Paul used to think this too when I was doing Whole30 and he was pretending to do it too.
"Whole30 means I can eat however much I want as long as it isn't bread."
He legit used to say that!
NO!! That is NOT what Whole30 is about. Even on Whole30, it works because it teaches you how to portion things using your hands or a plate... but overeating is NOT inherent to the program.
Overeating continuously will put us at a calorie surplus.
We will gain weight- whether that be fat or muscle.
All of the foods in the photos are foods I've eaten and have snapped photos to teach on social media.
There's nothing wrong with any of them.
But it's really easy to overdo it and eat alllllll the food if you're not being mindful.
A lot of times we mis-remember what we actually ate over the course of a day. Gummy bears at the secretary's desk. Donuts in the teacher's lounge. Oops.
Or we specifically remember that we DIDN'T have those treats. We only ate healthy foods.
And we feel frustrated because even though we said no thanks to the treats, this weight loss thing ain't working.
That one was me. I specifically remember not going to bars with friends. Not eating the takeout Paul ordered... but being frustrated because I wasn't seeing a change.
We may get on the scale and see nothing has changed or see that a progress photo is no different than 3 weeks ago and then we get super frustrated AF, curse the healthy eating plan, binge, and then a few weeks later, start googling for the perfect diet plan for our bodies.
"There must be something wrong with me that I can't lose the weight... I must not have found the perfect diet for me. It has got to be out there."
But it's all about the execution of the plan.
The plan was to eat healthy, and ya did that but also ya can't overeat on the healthy things.
The single way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit.
How you want to go about that is what you have to LEARN and PRACTICE how to do for your life.
All of that works by creating a calorie deficit.
And all of that won't work without creating a calorie deficit.
If you're eating healthy AF foods, awesome! Keep it up. If you're not seeing the progress you want, take a look at how much of these healthy foods you're eating.
AND THEN GIVE IT TIME. Practice these actions over time.
No one loses 5 lbs of fat in 3 days. It happens with consistency.
I have some simple tricks that can help you in the food dept WITHOUT having to count calories.
You can get them by joining my newsletter here.

Sue says: "I became interested in backpacking 10 years ago after hiking up Mt. Whitney in the Sierra Nevadas. From there it's been a long, slow process of learning the mountaineering skills needed in becoming a competent, self-sufficient climber. This has been quite a task given that I live in the flatlands of Ohio. Began climbing after cutting my teeth on Mt. Ranier, which eventually led to Mt. McKinley in Alaska, Mts. Cotopaxi, Chimborazo and Iliniza Sur in the Andes, and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. In between climbs I've done many, many smaller mountains in the US plus rock and ice climbing throughout the states. This will be my first Himalayan peak."

Downtown Ames Rebranded "Main Street Ames"
By 1430 KASI Jul 2, 2018
The Ames Main Street Cultural District has a new name. It's being rebranded "Ames Main Street." Director Cindy Hicks says they recognized there wasn't consensus about what the group was called and what it was trying to promote, pointing out most residents refer to the area simply as "downtown Ames". Hicks thinks the rebranding will make downtown Ames more attractive to visitors who often stay in areas outside the downtown area. She adds "Ames Main Street" got help rebranding from the "Main Street Iowa" program, a partnership she says has existed for nearly 10 years.

The Ocean Cleanup – fundacja, która opracowuje technologie do wydobywania plastikowych zanieczyszczeń z oceanów i zapobiegania przedostawaniu się ich większej ilości do wód oceanów. Organizacja została założona w 2013 roku przez Boyana Slata, holenderskiego wynalazcę-przedsiębiorcę pochodzenia chorwackiego, który od momentu założenia fundacji pełni funkcję prezesa zarządu i otrzymał ponad 31,5 miliona dolarów w postaci darowizn od sponsorów, w tym od dyrektora generalnego Salesforce.com Marca Benioffa, filantropa Petera Thiela, fundacji Juliusa Baera i Royal DSM. Ocean Cleanup zebrał również ponad 2,2 miliony dolarów w trakcie kampanii crowdfundingowej w 2014 roku (przy wsparciu 38 tys. ludzi). Siedziba fundacji znajduje się w Rotterdamie. Według obliczeń młodego wynalazcy na morskim recyklingu można zaoszczędzić rocznie nawet 500 milionów dolarów. W organizacji pracuje 70 pracowników.

Technologia

Oczyszczanie oceanów

The Ocean Cleanup wykorzystuje pasywną metodę zbierania śmieci morskich w wirach oceanicznych za pomocą 600 metrowych dryfujących systemów pływających, poruszających się pod wpływem wiatru i fal szybciej od plastiku i zbierających śmieci. Trzymetrowy ekran pod pływającą rurą wychwytuje i koncentruje zanieczyszczenia. Systemy te nie wymagają zewnętrznego źródła energii, ponieważ wykorzystują prądy, które niosą je do miejsc w oceanie o najwyższym stężeniu zanieczyszczeń. Systemy w kształcie litery U będą swobodnie dryfować w wirach Północnego Pacyfiku i koncentrować pływające śmieci, zanim statki pomocnicze zbiorą skoncentrowane śmieci i odtransportują na brzeg. Pierwszy system został wdrożony 8 września 2018 r., a The Ocean Cleanup szacuje, że w ciągu pięciu lat, począwszy od pełnego wdrożenia w 2020 r., będzie w stanie zebrać 50% śmieci w obszarze Wielkiej Pacyficznej Plamy Śmieci. Co 4-6 tygodnie urządzenie musi być opróżniane, a zebrane z oceanu odpady zostaną poddane recyklingowi. Zbierane będą odpady o wielkości 1 cm i większe. System jest wyposażony w urządzenia informujące statki o ich obecności, co zmniejszy ryzyko kolizji.

Oczyszczanie rzek
Według fundacji, 80% plastiku w oceanach pochodzi z 1000 najbardziej zanieczyszczonych rzek. Organizacja będzie prowadziła więc działania, które pozwolą "zamknąć kran".

The Interceptor
The Interceptor (dosłownie Myśliwiec przechwytujący) to dryfujące na wodzie, używające w 100% energii elektrycznej pochodzącej ze słońca urządzenie, które dzięki podobnego do katamaranu kształtu magazynuje pływający po rzece plastik. Jego wydajność to 50 000 kilogramów plastiku dziennie (do 100 000 kilogramów w optymalnych warunkach). Jego pojemność to 50 metrów sześciennych. Został skonstruowany tak, by nie przeszkadzał łodziom i statkom przepływać przez rzekę. Może działać 24 godziny na dobę, 7 dni w tygodniu, dzięki panelom słonecznym i 20kWh, litowo-jonowej baterii. The Interceptor jest całkowicie autonomiczny.

Badania

Mega Expedition
Dzięki serii wypraw oceanicznych, The Ocean Cleanup zbadał całkowitą masę i rozmieszczenie plastikowych szczątków w oceanach, a także wykonalne metody recyklingu, i technologie pod względem ekonomii i wytrzymałości. W sierpniu 2015 r. przeprowadzono tzw. Mega Expedition, w której flota złożona z około 30 statków zbadała Wielką Pacyficzną Plamę Śmieci za pomocą 652 siatek powierzchniowych mierząc stężenie, rozkład przestrzenny i rozmiar plastiku. Naukowcy na pokładzie R/V Ocean Starr zaobserwowali znacznie więcej plastiku niż się spodziewali.

Aerial Expedition
Jesienią 2016 roku, The Ocean Cleanup przeprowadził serię lotów rozpoznawczych przez Wielką Pacyficzną Plamę Śmieci. Ekspedycja ta nosiła nazwę Aerial Expedition i była pierwszym lotniczym badaniem oceanicznej plamy śmieci. Celem wyprawy było ilościowe określenie największych zanieczyszczeń oceanu, tj. sieci widma. Zebrane dane w połączeniu z danymi z poprzedniej wyprawy Mega Expedition pomogły zlokalizować plastikowe zanieczyszczenia w Wielkiej Pacyficznej Plamie Śmieci.

Aby określić ilościowo zanieczyszczenia, w ramach projektu wykorzystano kombinację ludzkich obserwatorów i czujników. Użyli oni samolotu C-130 Hercules (nazwanego Ocean Force One), który leciał z 13 badaczami na pokładzie. Wykorzystano system CZMIL (który wykorzystuje LiDAR do tworzenia trójwymiarowego obrazu sieci widm) oraz hiperspektralnego systemu obrazowania SWIR SASI (który wykorzystuje kamerę na podczerwień do wykrywania śmieci) w celu dokumentowania zanieczyszczeń oceanu plastikowymi zanieczyszczeniami. Boyan Slat powiedział, że załoga zobaczyła o wiele więcej zanieczyszczeń, niż się spodziewano.

Publikacje naukowe
22 marca 2018 r. The Ocean Cleanup opublikował połączone wyniki Mega- i Aerial Expedition, szczegółowo opisujące wielkość Wielkiej Pacyficznej Plamie Śmieci, jak również stężenie w niej tworzywa sztucznego. Stwierdzili, że Plama ma powierzchnię 1,6 miliona kilometrów kwadratowych, z koncentracją do 100 kg na kilometr kwadratowy w centrum łaty, do 10 kg na kilometr kwadratowy w zewnętrznych częściach łat. Szacuje się, że Plama zawiera 80 tys. ton plastiku, (około 1,8 biliona kawałków plastiku), z czego 92% masy jest nadal w kawałkach większych niż 0,5 centymetra.

W grudniu 2017 r. w Environmental Science & Technology opublikowano opracowanie na temat trwałych zanieczyszczeń występujących w próbkach tworzyw sztucznych z Mega Expedition. Zespół badawczy stwierdził, że na powierzchni Wielkiej Pacyfiku znajduje się 180 razy więcej plastiku niż naturalnie występującej biomasy. Ponadto około 84% próbek tworzyw sztucznych zawierało co najmniej jedną substancję chemiczną PBT o stężeniach przekraczających bezpieczny poziom.

Zespół badawczy Ocean Cleanup opublikował w Nature Communications w czerwcu 2017 r. artykuł z modelem wkładu plastiku przez rzeki do oceanu. Ich model pokazał, że od 1,15 do 2,41 mln ton tworzyw sztucznych przedostaje się co roku do oceanów świata, z 86% wkładu pochodzącego z rzek w Azji.

W lutym 2015 r. zespół badawczy opublikował w Biogeosciences opracowanie na temat pionowego rozkładu tworzyw sztucznych z próbek wykonanych na Północnym Atlantyku. Zaprojektowali oni nowy typ narzędzia pomiarowego, który może mierzyć stężenie na 10 różnych głębokościach jednocześnie. Stwierdzono, że stężenie tworzywa sztucznego spada wykładniczo wraz z głębokością, przy czym najwyższe stężenie występuje na powierzchni, a stężenie w słupie wody zbliża się do zera kilka metrów w głąb wody.

Testy
W serii testów, kolejne modele w coraz większych rozmiarach były instalowane w coraz trudniejszych lokalizacjach oceanicznych. The Ocean Cleanup przeprowadził w 2015 roku kontrolowane testy środowiskowe. 100-metrowy segment przeszedł test na Morzu Północnym, u wybrzeży Holandii latem 2016 roku. Celem testów było sprawdzenie wytrzymałości wybranych materiałów i połączeń między elementami. Test wykazał, że konwencjonalne belki używane do zbierania oleju nie nadają się do pracy w trudnych warunkach, w jakich będzie pracować system. Wybrano rury z twardego polietylenu (HDPE) o twardych ściankach, które są wystarczająco elastyczne, aby poddawać się falowaniu i wystarczająco sztywne, aby utrzymać kształt litery U. Od tego czasu przeprowadzono więcej testów wytrzymałościowych 273 modeli.

11 maja The Ocean Cleanup ogłosił, że kolejnym krokiem jest przetestowanie nowego systemu dryfującego na Północnym Pacyfiku w 2017 roku. Po udoskonaleniu tego projektu, The Ocean Cleanup uruchomił pierwszy system we wrześniu 2018 r. Planuje się, że stopniowo dodając kolejne systemy, do 2020 r. mają osiągnąć pełną skalę wdrożenia operacji w Wielkiej Pacyficznej Plamie Śmieci.

Krytyka
The 5 Gyres Institute stwierdził, że The Ocean Cleanup nie sporządził dokładnego raportu o oddziaływaniu na środowisko i nie zbadał alternatyw, na przykład nie zbadał możliwości odzyskania zanieczyszczeń plastikowych przez rybaków. Boyan Slat stwierdził, że użycie konwencjonalnych metod, takich jak statki i sieci, byłoby nieefektywne czasowo i finansowo. The Ocean Cleanup twierdzi, że pracuje wraz z ekspertami zewnętrznymi nad badaniami nad oddziaływaniem na środowisko, w celu dokonania oceny i zminimalizowania ewentualnego wpływu na środowisko naturalne, jaki może wywierać ich technologia.

Nagrody
Magazyn "Time" zaliczył osiągnięcia organizacji do listy 25 najlepszych wynalazków 2015 r., London Design Museum nadał jej tytuł Design of the Year. Organizacja ma też takie nagrody jak INDEX: Award czy Fast Company's 2015 Innovation by Design.

Concept of Cheongsam
Home Other 2020-12-11
Whether "Qipao" refers specifically to the Qipao in the Republic of China or includes the "Qiren's Robe" or "Qinu's Robe" in the Qing Dynasty. The definition of the concept of Qipao is as controversial as the origin style of Qipao.
As we all know, during the cultural revolution, Qipao was regarded as a symbol of the "four old" and "Feng, Zi, Xiu". The research on cheongsam became a forbidden area in the academic circle. It was only after the reform and opening up that the research on cheongsam gradually increased in the mainland academic circle.
In the early period after the reform and opening up, based on the policy of "the Chinese nation is one family" advocated by the government, and in order to prove that cheongsam has a long history and noble origin, scholars consciously connected the relationship between the cheongsam of the Republic of China and the dress of the Qi people in the Qing Dynasty. "The concept of cheongsam, including the robes of the Qing Dynasty's cheongsam, is not so many, but it is also a school of its own."
For example, there is a note on cheongsam in Cihai: "Qipao was originally used by Manchu women in the Qing Dynasty. There were no slits on both sides, and the sleeves were eight inches to one foot long. The edge of the dress was embroidered with color green. After the revolution of 1911, it was accepted by Han women, and it was improved as follows: straight collar, right oblique lapel, tight waist, length of the garment below the knee, slit on both sides, and small cuff. "
For example, Yu Feng's point of view: "Qipao, as the name implies, refers to the clothes and gowns of women in the Eight Banners before and after Manchu's entry into the pass in the Qing Dynasty, that is, the common clothes of women outside the pass with Manchu and Mongolia as the main body This kind of cheongsam is mainly popular in the north, and most women in the South still follow the customs of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a long upper coat and a long skirt below. "
Another example is yuan jieying's point of view: "the common dress of the bannermen is different from the military uniform, which is generally a robe It has always been a simple straight body as the basic style, known as cheongsam. "Cheongsam was a common dress for men and women in the Qing Dynasty, but it was slightly different in the style of wearing. The official system was different from the civilian in terms of material selection and accessories."
However, the concept of "Qipao" including the "Qiren's Robe" or "Qinu's Robe" in Qing Dynasty has been questioned in academic circles from the very beginning. "In the vast literature of the Qing Dynasty, the word" Qipao "never appeared. In the Qing Dynasty, the Qipao was called" flag dress "or" flag dress "by Qi people, and" Yijie "in Manchu. As a word with special meaning, the word Qipao was first found in Shen Shou's dictation in 1918. Zhang Rui recorded the book "xuehuan xiupu" in which Zhang Rui wrote: "there are three kinds of bandages: Dagang is used to embroider the edge of cheongsam, so it is called biantan". Cheongsam here is used as a specific term to refer to some kind of embroidered clothing
Nowadays, the main viewpoints in the academic circles hold that "cheongsam" refers to the cheongsam of the Republic of China, which developed and formed a relatively stable form during the period of the Republic of China
Zhou Xibao, in his book the history of ancient Chinese costume, thinks: "the robes of Manchu women This kind of robe was very wide at the beginning, and gradually changed into a small waist. Its time was close to the eve of the revolution of 1911. This kind of robe, later evolved into one of the main costumes of Han women, that is, later called cheongsam.
In his book "Chinese cheongsam", Bao Mingxin also made a special elaboration on this issue: "it seems that there is no big mistake to regard cheongsam as the robe of Qiren or the robe of flag women, but there is a suspicion that the meaning of cheongsam is more abundant than that of Qiren or Qinu. In a broad sense, it can be said that cheongsam experienced the development of three periods, namely, the dress of Qi nu in Qing Dynasty, the new cheongsam in the period of the Republic of China and the contemporary fashion cheongsam, among which the new cheongsam in the Republic of China is the most typical and the most important. In a narrow sense, cheongsam is the cheongsam of the Republic of China. Of course, it can also include the cheongsam that basically maintained the characteristics of the cheongsam of the Republic of China after the Republic of China. "
Bian Xiangyang said in his article on the origin of the popularity of cheongsam: "the so-called" cheongsam "refers to the one piece garment attached to the garment At the same time, it must have all or part of the following typical appearance features: the opening or half opening form of the right lapel, the detail arrangement of the stand collar button and the side slit, the plane cutting of the single piece material and the body and sleeve, etc. Although there are views that cheongsam includes the cheongsam of Qing Dynasty and that of women in the Republic of China, the cheongsam in the general sense refers to a kind of women's dress style after the Republic of China in the 20th century. "
There were also many discussions on the concept of "cheongsam" in magazines during the period of the Republic of China. For example, the author named Chang Yan wrote in 1937 "the evolution of women's cheongsam in the past 15 years" in modern family magazine: "what is cheongsam? It can be said that it is a new product adapted to the changes of Chinese women in the new era after the Republic of China era. It can also be said that Chinese women imitated the flag of Qing Dynasty before It's a garment that has been altered in the style of a woman's dress. "

Nautical nurseries never go out of style. It's a classic look that works for a boy or a girl (yes, a girl!). We've noticed a lot of nautical nurseries go super preppy, and while the classic take always looks great, we decided to try something a little different, a little more modern, after being inspired by this beauty of a bag.
The Admiral pattern on the BFF bag from Ju-Ju-Be led us to play with nautical in a new way, matching rich navy blues with natural elements and playful seaside touches, and let's not forget the perfect splash of gold!
You'll soon find this diaper bag truly is a BFF with its ample room, lots of pockets and a place for everything. This is the kind of friend that comes in very handy when you are venturing out into the world for the first time with a new baby. Knowing you are supported with all your baby gear at hand is half the battle!
We think The Admiral pattern pairs beautifully with The First Mate. You can have a whole crew of accessories to use inside your diaper bag and out.
You can even find the pattern on adorable cloth diapers.
Stay tuned for more fun coverage of the gorgeous bags from Ju-Ju-Be! And be sure to check out our elegant nursery design inspired by another one of their diaper bags.
