Sukhumvit soi 38 offers a great introduction to Thai street food. It's location makes it really contrast with the surrounding restaurants that line Sukhumvit road as they are much more posh. Located a few steps from BTS skytrain at Thonglor, you really get to be in the street food environment. The thing to try here is the grilled pork satay which is a pork stick dipped in delicious nut sauce. For a refreshing thirst quencher, try any of the numerous drink stalls along the road. If you want to relax, just grab any table along the road.

See the most stunning picture of Kate Middleton at Prince Charles' birthday dinner
Isn't it gorgeous?
November 15, 2018 - 08:13 GMT Fiona Ward See the most stunning picture of Kate Middleton at Prince Charles' 70th birthday dinner at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday
The royal family was out in force on Wednesday evening in celebration of Prince Charles' milestone 70th birthday. The formal dinner at Buckingham Palace was of course a chance to dress up in all their finery, and the Duchess of Cambridge didn't disappoint! One particular shot of Kate as she arrived at the party has caught the eye of many royal-watchers, as she looked absolutely stunning as she sat in the car with husband Prince William. We think you'll agree she looks glowing as ever, with a flawless complexion and a pretty new updo.
Image: Max Mumby
In fact, some royal fans think Kate looks too perfect - and that the image has been retouched to make her skin appear smoother. After we shared the photo on our official Instagram account, some were quick to question whether the shot is genuine. HELLO! can confirm that the image has not been altered in this way.
MORE: Prince William laughs at royal protocol with young dinner guests
Since the only pictures released of the royal guests (apart from Charles and Camilla themselves) were taken as they arrived in their cars, we can't see a full view of Kate's outfit – though it looks to be a one-shoulder hot pink gown, with ruffled floral details. Many are speculating that it's a custom design by one of her favourite labels Jenny Packham, as her Spring/Summer 2019 collection featured similar textures and colours.
The Duchess accessorised her look with beautiful drop-diamond earrings, which she most recently wore at the 2018 BAFTA awards, and wore her hair up in a unique new twisted hairstyle. Other members of the family to arrive at the dinner included the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – with Meghan also looking gorgeous in statement diamonds – and Princess Eugenie and new husband Jack Brooksbank.
MORE: Prince Charles jokes about turning 70 after receiving hilarious presents
While we didn't get much more than a sneak peek inside the bash, it is known that the Queen made a very touching speech to her son Prince Charles, and all her royal guests. The monarch said: "It is a privilege for any mother to be able to propose a toast to her son on his 70th birthday. It means that you have lived long enough to see your child grow up. It is rather like —to use an analogy I am certain will find favour — planting a tree and being able to watch it grow."

Praying alongside you, Sister Deb. Sometimes my impatience causes me to run off with what He is still working on … may I trust Him enough to wait until He gives the okay.
Now I really like this…. Blessings… Bro Pat.
I sure hope something eventually gets finished in my life before I walk through the Pearly Gates.
What ever He's started in us He will complete it that is for sure.
Just wanted to say thnak you for all your encouraging comments….
Here is a portion of my posting….
Debbie at If Today We Hear – Debbie is another one of my followers that uses a combination of poetry and the Word to present spiritual truths. I really enjoy the way that Debbie chooses a set of verses for the day, she then finds an important truth in those verses, clearly states it and then presents a poem to illustrate it. I visit Debbie's blog everyday, normally when I need a quick break from my tasks for the day to get my mind on the Lord and His Word.
A promise to cling to for sure. We have an awesome God!
God bless you, Sis Delight! I love that confidence He brings by not quitting on us. Thank You Jesus! Oh sis, the pictures are pretty bad, but easier for me to try taking some to go with my posts than to find them. haha! Bear with me . . .a photographer I'm not!
Oh Ann full of grace and promise, you made me really think about this . ..running off when He's not done with me yet! oops. . .me too! Or I think I'm a lost cause because somethings aren't quite together yet in my life. Patience, eh? God bless you as you wait and He works!
God bless you, Bro Pat, and all the progress that is being made!
He is so good, to work in us always! God bless you, sweet Betty!
😀 No problem with Jesus on the job! He's got you covered! And look at all those books you got out this year!!! That was huge!!! God bless you as you keep walking and He keeps working!
God bless you, Ted, and all that He has begun in your life!
I love your faith and confidence in Jesus, Desiray! You fire us up! God bless you as He keeps His hand upon you!
God bless you, Rob, and thank you for encouraging me too! 🙂 He is doing a great work in and through you!
I like to think of this one . . .especially on those days I feel kind of half done. 🙂 God bless you, Patricia, as you praise and cling to Him!
Are you really? That encourages me to get at those unfinished things too! God bless you, sweet fisherlady as you trust your Jesus with it all. AND I just figured out my problem finding you .. . I was going to wordpress instead of blogspot. duh. haha! Thank you!!!
Hi Debbie; Thank you so very much,and blessings to you also… Bro Pat.
Thanks Debbie! The confidence in knowing He will complete is empowering. Now LORD please grant me patience, persistance and power to be faithful in doing what you desire for me.
I know what you mean, Aimee . . .we love all the verses! Hard to pick just one, so you are allowed to have lots of favorites! haha! Some days I get kind of tired being in the process. 🙂 God bless you and all the amazing things He is completing in you! love and prayers!
Oh thank you, Tom, for showing us the flip side . . .our part in this. We can't just sit around waiting for Him to complete us! God bless you and indeed grant you the desires of your heart for Him!
I love everything about this! The verse, the thought, the poem…what a wonderful promise!
Ohhh . . .welcoming the work. You would have to mention that! haha! God bless you as you grow and grow, lovely Linda! You bless me and help me along the way! love and prayers!
I feel like I should just post all the book of Philippians. It's all so good! And so short . . .I'll be out of it in no time. . . boohoo!
God bless you, wonderful woman of the Word, as He completes all His desires for you! love you!
Oh, you always surprise me! I thought you'd gotten pro at finding great pics, but no–you were 10 jumps ahead of me, doing your own excellent photos!! Great job!
I am so looking forward to the day when He will present me faultless before the throne because HE has completed HIS work in me.
I like to think that this verse, which rightfully applies to our eternal destiny, also applies to various times in our lives, when He takes us through maturing processes.
He calls us to a particular task, and He sees it through to completion. Sometimes, circumstances (devil) cause us problems and God uses them to mature us and He again completes a process towards His final goal of bringing us to Christlikeness. At EVERY stage of our life we 'have confidence' that He will continue and will complete His work in us.
I like that thought so much, Mentor Angela! It reminds me of "from glory to glory" . .. we do make progress along the way! God bless you and all that He is completing in you today and will yet do tomorrow! love and prayers and hugs!
This post is filled with another huge dose of encouragement! I'm so glad to know, that God is not through with me yet. I am a work in progress, for sure! And, when He gets through with me, I shall come forth as pure gold! God bless you! Love and prayers!
This post is filled with another huge dose of encouragement! I'm so glad to know, that God is not through with me yet. I am a work in progress, for sure! And, when He gets through with me, I shall come forth as pure gold! God bless you!
Sweet praising Paulette . . .all your recent comments got put into the spam section. ggrr! Hoping to find them all and reply to you! Sorry!
I love your faith and hope in Jesus and all He is doing and is yet to do! God bless you as you trust Him and pray today!
You are a beautiful work in progress, Paulette! He is doing a wonderful job on you. I'm going to ask if He can fashion me along the same lines! 🙂 God bless you, wonderful worship leader, as He loves on you today! love and prayers!

Did Ayn Rand interview Robert Oppenheimer, and if so, how did she use the material?
This is a follow-up question to this question. I thought that it was better to post this as a second, related question though to avoid the original question from being too broad.
Wikipedia describes Dr. Robert Stadler from Atlas Shrugged as follows:
A former professor at Patrick Henry University, and along with colleague Hugh Akston, mentor to Francisco d'Anconia, John Galt and Ragnar Danneskjöld. He has since become a sell-out, one who had great promise but squandered it for social approval, to the detriment of the free. He works at the State Science Institute where all his inventions are perverted for use by the military, including the instrument of his demise: Project X (Xylophone). The character was, in part, modeled on J. Robert Oppenheimer, whom Rand had interviewed for an earlier project, and his part in the creation of nuclear weapons. To his former student Galt, Stadler represents the epitome of human evil, as the "man who knew better" but chose not to act for the good.
Is this accurate? Did such an interview take place? If so, what was the subject of the interview, and what did they talk about?
Did Ayn Rand use the material from the interview? If so, how, and on which project?
Did Rand believe Oppenheimer to be evil at the time that she interviewed him, or did she only come to that opinion later? If she believed him to be evil at the time, why did she interview him? Was Oppenheimer aware of her opinion of him? If so, why did he consent to the interview?
atlas-shrugged ayn-rand
Yes, such an interview did, in fact, take place. From the Journals of Ayn Rand (edited by David Harriman), film producer Hal Wallis (Casablanca) contracted Ayn Rand to work for him and write a screenplay about the Atomic Bomb. She interviewed Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer several times for that project, but the movie was never made.
Hal Wallis sold the rights to MGM after she finished about a third of the script. MGM, who was already making a film about the Atomic Bomb, apparently wasn't actually interested in producing the script, just in killing off a competing project.
Naturally, the interview focused on the making of the atomic bomb. Some of the questions discussed in the interview (also discussed here) include:
When did he start in Chicago? (Summer, 1942).
When did he start in New Mexico?
How was he picked to be the head of Los Almos - was he chosen or did he volunteer? When and how did he hear about the project?
Incidents to show progress of the work? Were there crucial turning points, i.e. milestones of the progress?
What points or events stand out in your mind?
It appears that the material wasn't directly used in a different book, but it was the inspiration for Dr. Robert Stadler in Atlas Shrugged.

In what way was Dr. Robert Stadler based on Robert Oppenheimer?
The real-life inspiration for the characters of Atlas Shrugged?
Why did Robert Stadler claim that John Galt was "probably a second assistant bookkeeper somewhere"?
What kind of engineer was Owen Kellogg?
Was Jim Taggart's physical abuse of his wife supposed to parallel and contrast with Hank Reardon's gift of the Ruby Pendant to Dagny Taggart?
Was Mr. Thompson actually worried that John Galt might be dead?
Was Francisco d'Anconia's deliberate destruction of his competitors counterproductive to the purpose of the Strike?
Why was Dagny Taggart so reluctant to call Dr. Robert Stadler about John Galt's motor?


Another comic for the week! Olivia introduces herself to Yogurt, but upon hearing Yogurt give her nickname, Olivia snickers a bit and wonders why Yogurt calls herself Yogurt instead of her real name. In fact Olivia goes as far as to point out that it is a tasty name, as with most food names.
Yogurt's real name still remains a mystery, and it can really be anything you can think of. When the time is right, her real name will reveal itself, but it isn't anything particularly important.
As in other news, my Fiverr account has been pretty successful. I've been receiving a steady flow of orders, everything from character caricatures to mascots and web design elements. Yogurt Short Comics Vol.3 is also on the way to completion. You can actually expect Yogurt Short Comics Vol.3 to be ready for printing some time by the end of this month, or early October. For those who have pre-ordered a copy, I will be notifying you by email of payment and shipping confirmations. Until then, I'll be hard at work to get everything ready!

Genevieve, 37, was online the other day when she got a friend request from her college boyfriend on Facebook. Through her profile, he found out where she worked and soon called her at the office to catch up.
This married father of three proceeded to tell Genevieve how much he had thought of her over the years and how she was the love of his life. The whole time he was making his creepy confession, Genevieve could hear his 10-month-old baby cooing on his lap.
In the age of Facebook, more and more of these types of situations are coming up, and there's no etiquette guide or rulebook for stuff like this. We ask marriage and relationship coach Alex Wise from Loveawake free dating site for some advice.
Trendytattle: If an ex-gets in touch with you online, should you tell your spouse?
Alex Wise: Definitely. There's no question about it. Even if it would make him suspicious or jealous or upset, you need to have an open door policy. Because emotional affairs and physical affairs are all secrets, being upfront about this proves you've got nothing to hide.
TRENDYTATTLE: Is it okay/appropriate for exes to be back in touch once they have kids?
AW: This is definitely something that must be considered a case-by-case basis. If you're both okay with it, it's probably fine. But I have clients who swear it's perfectly harTrendytattleess, but they keep it from their husbands. Chatting on Facebook is kind of like meeting someone for coffee. Is it okay with your spouse for you to meet an ex for coffee? Probably not.
TRENDYTATTLE: What if you are okay with being in touch with an ex, but your husband is really jealous about it? What should you do?
AW: I am a big proponent of letting your spouse know that they come first. If he is creeped out by you corresponding with someone who's seen you naked, I'd say it's your responsibility as a loving wife not to do it. But if he is just a super jealous person who's really controlling, that's another issue altogether.
TRENDYTATTLE: If you are uncomfortable with someone contacting you (like Genevieve was), what should you do/say to make the person stop calling or emailing?
Do you keep in touch with your exes via Facebook?

Dems, GOP debate school funds
News // Texas Legislature
Gary Scharrer
Feb. 21, 2012 Updated: Feb. 22, 2012 2:08 a.m.
AUSTIN — Texas is rebounding from a severe recession with significant job growth, higher-than-expected tax revenues and a rosier forecast that should influence state leaders to resist more public school budget cuts next year, some Democratic lawmakers said Tuesday.
But Republican leaders, mindful of Gov. Rick Perry's opposition to a special session to address school funding, counter that economic optimism could turn sour.
They prefer to use any budget surpluses to pay for unfunded Medicaid expenses and unexpected costs, such as the $183 million to battle last summer's wildfires.
Texas has added 440,000 payroll jobs since December 2009, which John Heleman, chief revenue estimator for Texas Comptroller Susan Combs, identified as the recession's low point during a House Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday.
Sales tax revenue for the first five months of the state's fiscal year is up 11 percent over the same period last year, he said.
"It looks like the Texas consumer is back. They are buying," Heleman said of the growth in revenue from the sales tax, the state's single largest revenue source outside of the federal government.
Easy ways to defrost windshields, prepare car for freeze in Texas
Oil production tax revenue has increased 47 percent over the same period last year, Heleman said. The state ended the fiscal year last fall with a $1.6 billion surplus, and he estimated the state's rainy day fund to contain $7.3 billion by the end of the current budget cycle.
The Legislature cut public school funding by $2 billion over what existing law would have provided this year, and another $2 billion will be cut next year.
With the economic recovery accelerating, Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, wondered why lawmakers can't restore funding to public schools.
"Right now, we have a lot of schools that are hurting," the committee vice chairman said. "We need to consider how we are going to address the needs of our schoolchildren."
After the hearing, committee member Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, said it's become apparent that last year's public school education cuts will become permanent.
In addition to a $4 billion cut in basic school funding, Villarreal said another $2 billion deferral payment to the next fiscal year means public education will start the next legislative session in a $6 billion hole.
Public education funding will play a big role in the elections later this year, he said.
"The only way to change the priorities in the Capitol is to change out members of the Legislature," Villarreal said.
Appropriations Chairman Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, said there's no appetite among his GOP House colleagues for a special legislative session to avoid more public education funding cuts. Perry could call one after the next regular session to deal with school finance litigation now in the courts, Pitts said.
"Until we get some direction from the courts, we're flying blind," he said.
Lawmakers will face an emergency funding appropriation next year as Medicaid money will run out in April 2013, and Pitts speculated his colleagues may not want to dip into the rainy day fund to meet the anticipated $3.9 billion obligation.
Republican lawmakers might look for more budget cuts to pay for the unfunded Medicaid costs, Pitts said, which would make it impossible to restore the public education cuts.

Q: Mysterious missing transactional replication tokens I am looking at implementing Transactional Replication subscriptions in an AlwaysOn AvailabilityGroup. I tried to use this as a guide:
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/backup-and-recovery/expanding-alwayson-availability-groups-with-replication-subscribers/
The reason I say tried is not in anyway besmirching the author - in this case he is dealing w/ push subscriptions and we are doing pull. There was a spectacular flame out trying to Initialize from LSN (The transactions required for synchronizing the subscription with the specified log sequence number (LSN) are unavailable at the Distributor. Specify a higher LSN.
) (perhaps b/c this is a pull subscription and it moved on, whereas in the example the push agent was disabled and then brought up on the now Primary?). Following this I just 're-initialized' the subscription (it is not that big a publication).
Anyhow, now Replication Monitor, which from experience can be an unreliable narrator up there with the greats of literature, tells me this subscription's performance is 'Excellent' and that it was last synchronized 1 minute ago as of this writing, yet when I try to insert Tracer Tokens to get a feel for latency this subscription is nowhere to be seen. In other areas of Replication monitor or checking out the SQL Server Agent jobs there are no big oddities.
What is going on? Is using pull as opposed to push subscriptions not advised in this scenario? I am somewhat befuddled at the moment and any enlightenment would be welcomed and appreciated.

A: This type of behavior is usually caused by an uninitialized subscription. Make sure the snapshot agent ran successfully and the distribution agent is running too.
Check out level 10 of my Stairway to SQL Server Replication for more help on troubleshooting replication.

It is a common inflammatory condition affecting the thick band of connective tissue (fascia) on the sole of the foot. It is often a sharp pain in the heel which is much worse with the first few steps in the morning and occurs with most weight bearing activities. It can become a disabling chronic problem if not treated correctly. It occurs commonly in runners and people who are on their feet for prolonged periods of time. It also occurs more frequently in women and people aged 40-60 years old.
It often starts for no reason and is not normally associated with trauma. A number of factors can contribute to Plantar Fasciitis but typically people with flat feet, poor walking biomechanics and tightness in the calf, hamstring and gluteal regions. There can also be associated crepitis or "rice bubble" sensations when you press on the sole of your foot. It is aggravated by walking, running, dancing and non-supportive footwear.

I don't know if there's a specific format for this, but I would just like to get to the point. Nathanwho offered me p4 u3 armor for $800, but after I paid him he canceled the trade and ran away. He also continued to /ignore me afterwards so that I couldn't message him about the trade.
You report players by opening a support ticket www.snapcraft.net/support-tickets/ and hopefully a staff will take actions.
Alright, I'll do that, thank you.
I know I can't, but scamming is prohibited, you'd think that a paladin, if anyone, wouldn't scam.
Support ticket has been opened, I will look into it now, Cheers.

ANAF 284
ANAF 284 Promo Film (2013)
ANAF Unit 284 had its humble beginnings with a Charter in 1946 and in 1947 the Charter Members purchased the former Japanese Fisherman's Hospital which was originally located at 11900 No. 1 Road in Steveston.
The club was busy and growing and rolling along reasonably well until one evening in 1956 when the club was suddenly destroyed by fire. All looked glum however, the Ladies Auxiliary and membership through some very interesting means and endeavours kept the Charter alive and managed to reopen a new clubhouse in 1959.
Throughout the years ANAF Unit 284 continued its' support through considerable donations to community organizations such as the George Derby Hospital, Richmond General Hospital, Variety Club Telethons, Steveston Community Centre, Salvation Army, Japanese Language School, also several cadet corps and squadrons in the Richmond area.
ANAF 284's most recent contribution to the community and veterans at large occurred in July 2009 when the 284 Seniors Housing Society was formed to undertake the management of the development and construction of a 144 unit seniors independent living facility in conjunction with the new ANAF Clubhouse.

(New York, NY - Monday, June 5, 2017) For the first time ever, dance superstars and online sensations WilldaBeast ("So You Think You Can Dance" choreographer; 2.6 million followers), Nia Sioux ("Dance Moms"; 5.8 million followers), Kenneth San Jose (685K followers), and Janelle Ginestra (587K followers) will join forces and hit the road in a brand new live dance show #FOLLOWME. Directed by Jennifer Weber (The Hip Hop Nutcracker, BRING IT LIVE!), the show will kick off a 20-city National Tour next month in Los Angeles on July 28, 2017 at The Alex Theatre and will offer fans the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dance alongside their favorite dance and social media stars. Additional #FOLLOWME tour stops include: Phoenix, Atlanta, Charlotte, Ft. Lauderdale, St. Louis, Denver, Newark, Hartford, Uniondale LI and more.
Featuring cutting edge technology, fans will get to interact digitally and physically with the headliners prior to and during the show, with the ultimate prize being a featured position in #FOLLOWME's explosive dance finale. The choreography for the finale will be released over social media for audience members to learn ahead of time, and select lucky fans will be chosen from video submissions to get the opportunity of a lifetime – to dance with their idols on stage.
With over 1.9 million YouTube subscribers, dancer-choreographer-entrepreneur Will "WilldaBeast" Adams started his career as a dancer and quickly became in-demand for recording artists such as Usher, Madonna, The Black Eyed Peas and for guests spot on TV ("Glee"). WilldaBeast recently launched his own dance company immaBEAST, which has become one of the leading brands, companies, and influences in the hip hop dance world, and has choreographed for T-Pain, "So You Think You Can Dance" on FOX, Nike, and many more.
Nia Sioux's career ignited the moment viewers caught a glimpse of her dancing on the smash hit Lifetime reality TV show, "Dance Moms." Seven seasons later, Nia has earned an immense online following (over 4 million on Instagram) and has flexed her artistic muscles by launching a music and acting career. #FOLLOWME will be the first opportunity for her fans to see her performing all of her skill sets in a live performance tour.
Dancer-choreographer-"creative being" Janelle Ginestra, an executive team member of immaBEAST, has been dancing and performing since she was 2 years old. Nominated for "Best Dance Video" at the BET Awards, Janelle is a rising star in the industry having worked with Beyonce, Jason Derulo, J.Lo and more.
The show features video design by Greg Purnell and lighting design by Tony Award Nominee Bradley King (Natasha, Pierre & THE GREAT COMET of 1812).
NIA SIOUX FRAZIER has wowed audiences as a dancer, singer and actor on the small screen and in live performances, proving to be one of today's hottest triple threats. Currently, Nia can be seen on Lifetime's hit series, "Dance Moms" now in it's 7th season. Audiences have seen Nia take on the world of music as she released her first single "Star In Your Own Life" which has over 10 million views on YouTube, and her follow up single "Slay," which quickly hit the 4 million mark on YouTube. Her social media presence continues to grow at a rapid pace, with a highly engaged fanbase.


This web page provides basic information about personal property taxation in Massachusetts. If you have specific questions regarding this topic, please call the Assessors' Office at 508-946-2410.
All personal property situated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and personal belonging to the inhabitants of the Commonwealth wherever situated, is subject to taxation unless expressly exempted by law.
Tangible (that is, physical) property is subject to the personal property tax unless exempted by statute. Items defined as tangible personal property range from the chairs in a barbershop to the furnishings in a doctor's office waiting room; from the drills used by a dentist to the poles owned by a utility or furnishings in a second home or cottage. All individuals owning or holding household furnishings and effects not located at their domicile on January 1 must file a Form of List (State Tax Form 2HF) itemizing these furnishings and effects.
Tools employed by a plumber, carpenter, auto technician and other trade professionals are exempt from personal property tax. In legal terms, this exemption covers "tools of trade" of a "mechanic" (e.g., small tools that can fit in a toolbox). Boats, fishing gear and nets up to $10,000 in value, owned and used in a commercial fishing business are exempt.
Tools of other professionals not listed in the above paragraph are considered taxable. These include dentist's drills and x-ray machines. Computers are also subject to the personal property tax, but in cases where they are utilized by a corporation for internal purposes only (e.g., for such functions as internal accounting or administrative operations), computers are not subject to taxation.
Tangible personal property subject to some other type of local tax is also exempt from the personal property tax. Motor vehicle and trailer excise, ship and boat excise, the farm animal and equipment excise, and mobile home park license fees are all included in this category. Intangible personal property is exempt from the personal property tax. Intangible property includes stocks, bonds and cash, mortgages and other evidence of ownership of property rights.
For business corporations, poles, underground conduits, wires and pipes (property generally owned by utility companies) and machinery used in the conduct of business are taxable.
The term "machinery used in the conduct of business" does not include personal property directly used in any purchasing, selling, accounting or administrative function; nor does it include inventory or stock in trade, or personal property directly used in connection with laundering or dry-cleaning processes, the refrigeration of goods or in the air conditioning of the premises. Such property is therefore exempt. When, however, "machinery" is used primarily on behalf of that corporation's customers (e.g., using computers and equipment to process data on behalf of clients), then the machinery is not exempt from taxation.
Poles, underground conduits, wires and pipes of manufacturing corporations are taxable. Machinery of a manufacturing corporation (domestic or foreign) is not subject to personal property taxation. The Commissioner of Revenue for the Commonwealth determines what is a manufacturing corporation.
All other domestic corporations (including all that are subject to taxation under Chapter 63 of the Massachusetts General Laws - such as insurance companies, public service corporations, utilities, savings banks and cooperative banks) are subject to taxation on poles, underground conduits, wires and pipes; as well as machinery used in the manufacture or in the supply or distribution of water.
Generally, all tangible personal property is assessed in the city or town in which the personal property is situated as of January 1. The principal exception is in situations where the personal property has only a temporary location as of January 1. In the latter case, the property is assessed at the residence of the owner.
Taxpayers are not required to estimate the value of the property included on the Form of List. The Assessors' Office will determine the valuation, based on standard reference tables. In the event that a taxpayer does not submit the list, the assessor will ascertain as best she or he can, the personal estate belonging to the taxpayer and will estimate its value.
The Form of List is not open to public inspection. There is a penalty for failing to file the Form of List pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Ch.59, §64. A personal property taxpayer's application for abatement may not be granted unless the taxpayer can show good cause for failure to file timely. Further, if the assessment of the personal estate exceeds by 50% the amount which would have been assessed had the list been timely filed, then only the amount which exceeds this 50% may be abated.
The Assessing Department may require an owner or lessee of personal property to provide certain information in writing, as may be reasonably necessary, to determine the actual fair cash valuation of the property. Failure to comply with the request within 30 days will bar any appeal of the tax assessed, unless the owner or lessee was unable to comply with the request for reasons beyond his or her control. Any false statement that is knowingly made will also bar the taxpayer from any statutory appeal.

The nIke 1/2 Marathon is coming up on Sunday at 7am and I am number 229. There was an option to add art onto the shirt. Whether it be "Scooter" or "DAD" or "MOM" or "I smoke cigarettes," I chose to leave my t-shirt blank seeing as I'm gonna take it off at mile 3 anyway, to start working on my tan. I'll wear SPF 15 from Panama Jack, surrounding myself in the aroma of coconut. All the freaky jogger girls are gonna want to stay near me. So i tell my friends who ask, "how are we gonna find you among 10,000 runners?" I'll be the one around mile 8 without pants.

Q: Using a file to store optparse arguments I've been using optparse for a while now, and would like to add the ability to load the arguments from a config file.
So far the best I can think of is a wrapper batch script with the arguments hardcoded... seems clunky.
What is the most elegant way to do this?

A: You can use argparse module for that:
>>> open('args.txt', 'w').write('-f\nbar')
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(fromfile_prefix_chars='@')
>>> parser.add_argument('-f')
>>> parser.parse_args(['-f', 'foo', '@args.txt'])
Namespace(f='bar')

It might be included in stdlib, see pep 389.

A: I had a similar problem, but also wanted to specific the config file as an argument. Inspired by S. Lott's answer, I came up with the following code.
Example terminal session:
$ python defaultconf.py # use hard-coded defaults
False
$ python defaultconf.py --verbose # verbose on command line
True
$ python defaultconf.py --loadconfig blah # load config with 'verbose':True
True
$ python defaultconf.py --loadconfig blah --quiet # Override configured value
False
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.6
import optparse

def getParser(defaults):
    """Create and return an OptionParser instance, with supplied defaults
    """
    o = optparse.OptionParser()
    o.set_defaults(**defaults)
    o.add_option("--verbose", dest = "verbose", action="store_true")
    o.add_option("--quiet", dest = "verbose", action="store_false")

    o.add_option("--loadconfig", dest = "loadconfig")

    return o

def main():
    # Hard coded defaults (including non-command-line-argument options)
    my_defaults = {'verbose': False, 'config_only_variable': 42}

    # Initially parse arguments
    opts, args = getParser(my_defaults).parse_args()

    if opts.loadconfig is not None:
        # Load config from disk, update the defaults dictionary, and reparse
        # Could use ConfigParser, simplejson, yaml etc.

        config_file_values = {'verbose': True} # the dict loaded from disk

        my_defaults.update(config_file_values)
        opts, args = getParser(my_defaults).parse_args()

    print opts.verbose

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

A practical implementation can be found on Github: The defaults dictionary, the argument parser and the main function

A: That's what the set_defaults function is for.  http://docs.python.org/library/optparse.html#optparse.OptionParser.set_defaults
Create a file that's the dictionary of default values.
{ 'arg1': 'this',
'arg2': 'that'
}

Then read this file, eval it to convert the text to a dictionary, and provide this dictionary as the arguments to set_defaults.
If you're really worried about eval, then use JSON (or YAML) notation for this file.  Or you could even make an .INI file out of it and use configparser to get your defaults.
Or you can use a simple list of assignment statements and exec.
Config File.
arg1 = 'this'
arg2 = 'that'

Reading the config file.
defaults= {}
with open('defaults.py','r') as config
    exec config in {}, defaults

A: I agree with S.Lott's idea of using a config file, but I'd recommend using the built-in ConfigParser (configparser in 3.0) module to parse it, rather than a home-brewed solution.
Here's a brief script that illustrates ConfigParser and optparse in action.
import ConfigParser
from optparse import OptionParser

CONFIG_FILENAME = 'defaults.cfg'

def main():
    config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
    config.read(CONFIG_FILENAME)

    parser = OptionParser()
    parser.add_option("-l",
                      "--language",
                      dest="language",
                      help="The UI language",
                      default=config.get("Localization", "language"))
    parser.add_option("-f",
                      "--flag",
                      dest="flag",
                      help="The country flag",
                      default=config.get("Localization", "flag"))

    print parser.parse_args()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:
(<Values at 0x2182c88: {'flag': 'japan.png', 'language': 'Japanese'}>, [])

Run with "parser.py --language=French":
(<Values at 0x2215c60: {'flag': 'japan.png', 'language': 'French'}>, [])

Help is built in.
Run with "parser.py --help":
Usage: parser.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l LANGUAGE, --language=LANGUAGE
                        The UI language
  -f FLAG, --flag=FLAG  The country flag

The config file:
[Localization]
language=Japanese
flag=japan.png

A: Read the arguments in the same commandline format from a file e.g. @commands, then use your original parser to parse them.
options, args = parser.parse_args()

if args[0][0] == '@': # script.py @optfile
    with open(args[0][1:]) as f:
        fa = [l.strip() for l in f]
    fa = fa + args[1:] # put back any other positional arguments
    # Use your original parser to parse the new options
    options, args = parser.parse_args(args=fa, values=options)

A: I've built a lot of scripts with flags and options lately, and I've come up with the solution described here.
Basically I instance an optionparser with a special flag that tells to try and load options from a file, so you can use normally your script specifying options from command line or provide them (or a set of them) from a file.
Update: i have shared code on GitHub

There are many more prizes of €1000 down to €20, so check your ticket numbers carefully.
'El Gordo' means 'the fat one' and is the Spanish Christmas lottery and the biggest lottery in the world in terms of total prize money.
This webpage is a guide to the El Gordo Spanish Christmas Lottery.
We explain how El Gordo works and how to buy el Gordo lottery tickets in Spain and how to check El Gordo winning numbers.
The El Gordo lottery date is always 22nd December in the morning.
The El Gordo lottery draw starts live at 9am - 09:00 (CET time) in Spain and is always broadcast live on TV and online.
El Gordo has become an Spanish national event shown live on TV every year on the drawing date which is always 22nd December.
This year's date is 22.12.2018 - Saturday 22nd December 2018.
In 2018 El Gordo celebrates its 206th edition.
This huge Spanish lottery is drawn on 22nd December every year and all Spain watches on TV.
The lottery drawing ceremony is at Teatro Real de Madrid in Madrid, Spain.
It is broadcast on 22 December live on Spanish TV channel 'La 1' and on the Internet on the RTVE.es website from 8am. The lottery draw starts at 9am.
How to buy El Gordo Christmas lottery tickets and how El Gordo lottery works.
The official name is El Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad but often called 'Lotería de Navidad' - the Spanish Christmas lottery.
This nickname is used both about the entire Christmas lottery - and the winning first prize number called el 'Gordo' de Navidad.
In 2018 the total prize amount is 2.38 billion euro from tickets sales of 3.3 billion euro from 170 million tickets.
The 2.38 billion euro prize money can be won by around 15,000 winning ticket numbers in different amounts.
The total prize amount makes El Gordo the biggest lottery draw in the world.
The 2018 Christmas Spanish Lottery advert is inspired by the movie Groundhog day.
El Gordo is the biggest lottery in the world. The name El Gordo means 'The Fat One'. The nickname came from the huge amount of prize money.
It is the biggest lottery in the world in terms of overall prize money payouts, hence the name 'El Gordo' lottery, which translates as the Fat One.
El Gordo is actually the nickname of the first prize winning ticket number, rather than the whole lottery.
2011 was the first of the 'fattest' El Gordo in history 'El Gorda más gorda de la historia.' The biggest winning number in 2011 paid 4 million euros.
That figure stayed the same since then, so in 2018 the biggest winning number will also win 4 million euro. The second prize number wins 1.250.000 euro.
Third prize number wins 500,000, 2 different fourth prize numbers pay 200,000 and eight different fifth prize numbers win 60,000.
Read how the ticket system works further down this page.
How can I buy el Gordo lottery tickets?
In Spain you can buy El Gordo tickets at lottery offices which are at hypermarkets, on high streets and at many tobacconist shops called 'Estancos'.
Some of the places that sell El Gordo tickets are considered 'lucky' because of selling winning tickets in previous lotteries and people stand in line for hours to buy a ticket there.
El Gordo tickets start selling months in advance. Many businesses like bars offer parts of tickets which are called 'participaciones'.
You can also buy El Gordo tickets online if you are in Spain and if you want to buy from outside Spain, there are various websites that offer El Gordo tickets, but be sure to check them carefully to avoid fraud.
The biggest winning ticket of the 'el Gordo' Spanish Christmas is worth 4 million euros in total, but what makes the Spanish Christmas lottery the biggest in the world, is that there are many winning numbers with prizes of smaller amounts.
The El Gordo lottery pays out more lottery prizes than any other lottery draw in the world, which makes it the biggest lottery payout in the world.
An estimated 75% of the Spanish population buys a lottery ticket or buys a share of a ticket. Some even say the figure is closer to 90%. It is also estimated that each Spaniard spends around 70 euros on average on El Gordo lottery tickets!
The total annual prize payout of El Gordo of over 2 billion euros makes El Gordo a self-perpetuating success. The bigger the winnings, the more tickets people buy, which generates bigger prize amounts and then more people buy more tickets, and so on.
That is how the legendary Spanish lottery of El Gordo grew to become the biggest lottery in the world. No-one in Spain can resist the lure of El Gordo at Christmas - and especially in times of financial hardship.
The lottery draw is managed by the Spanish government. 30% of the lottery sales goes to the government in taxes and 70% is paid out in prizes. El Gordo was tax-free until 2013. Since 2013 there has been a 20% tax on all winnings over the amount of €2500.
Winnings under €2500 are tax-free. Another reason why El Gordo is so popular is that the prize money is spread over 15,000 different winning numbers, which means there are many smaller cash prizes.
Some people think that El Gordo tickets have a 15% or 30% chance of winning, but the actual probability of winning El Gordo is much lower at around 5%.
It is quite complex. You don't pick your own numbers. For El Gordo you buy a pre-printed ticket with your number. There are 100,000 different numbers in the Spanish Christmas lottery. These 100,000 numbers range from 00000 to 99999 and are on the lottery balls which tumble around inside a giant rotating drum on the day of the El Gordo lottery draw. Each lottery ticket number has a picture of a Christmas nativity scene and the pictures change every year.
On 22nd December every year the winning numbers are drawn. This happens live on Spanish national TV in a tradition that dates many years - although obviously not as far as the first El Gordo lottery that dates back over two hundred years to 4th March 1812.
Every 22nd December from 9am in the morning forty children aged 8 to 14 years old from the school 'Colegio de San Ildefonso' in Segovia, which was formerly an orphanage.
One drum has the winning numbers and the other has the prize amounts. The children come forward in pairs and pick and sing out a lottery number from one drum, and then pick and sing out a prize amount for that number from the other drum.
The ceremony takes place at the 'Teatro Real de Madrid' and takes just over three hours. It's very sweet and Christmas in Spain just wouldn't be the same without it.
Naturally because of the money involved it's very exciting viewing if you have a ticket watching the winning numbers as they are called out.
The big prizes that everyone is hoping for are 1 first number prize, 1 second number prize, one third number prize, 2 different fourth number prizes and 8 different fifth number prizes. There are also many smaller prizes.
An El Gordo ticket (billete) has a pre-printed a 5-digit number.
The exact quantity of tickets and series, as well as their price and the exact distribution of prizes, change from year to year.
A full ticket sheet called billete costs €200.
Each billete ticket sheet is divided into ten smaller tickets called 'décimos' which cost €20 each. Most people buy a 'décimo', which like a full lottery ticket, but as explained above a 'décimo' is technically a tenth of a ticket. So if your number wins El Gordo you will get €4,000,000, but if you only have a décimo then you get a tenth, which is €400,000 for your decimo ticket.
How El Gordo prize work?
The first prize of El Gordo goes to a single winning number. Here's an example.
In 2006 the winning number was 20297 and the prize amount was 3 million euros. There were 180 series' of the number 20297, so the 3 million was paid out 180 times to a full sheet or ticket with that number.
So the total payout to the first prize number of 180 x 3 million = 540 million euros.
Anyone holding a tenth of a ticket, a 'décimo' of the number 20297 in 2006 won the corresponding amount of the 3 million prize for each ticket in the series.
So a 'décimo'which is a tenth of the number 20297 won €300,000 in 2006.
In 2018 first prize of El Gordo goes to a single winning number and the 1st prize amount is 4 million euros.
There will be 170 series' of the 1st prize number, so the 4 million will be paid 170 times to a full sheet or ticket with the 1st prize number.
This means the total payout to the first prize El Gordo winning number is 170 x 4 million = 680 million euros.
People holding a billete with 10 'décimo' tickets of the 1st prize number in 2018 will win the corresponding amount of the 4 million prize because they have one of the 170 series with the wining number.
This means a 'décimo' which is a tenth of the 1st prize number will win €400,000 in 2018.
After that comes many smaller prizes, called of amounts ranging from €20,000 down to the smallest prizes €1000 called 'la pedrea' which means the stones.
La Pedrea pays €1000 on a billete ticket, so you get your €100 for a décimo ticket. Many Pedrea winners reinvest the €100 amount to enter the next big lottery, the 'Lotería de el Niño' which is always on 6th January.
The smallest prizes are €200 for a billete, which pays back the €20 cost of a decimo lottery ticket.
There are many superstitions and traditions about how to pick the winning number. Many people buy their 'lucky' numbers and certain numbers sell out quickly like the dates of weddings of celebrites or numbers that reflect current events.
Numbers that have won before are also popular. Many people, companies, bars, and charities buy one or more 'décimos' and sell it off in parts to colleagues, friends, customers etc.
This is often done by splitting a 20 euro decimo into 20 parts of €1 each. These fractions of 'décimos' are called 'participaciones.' In Spain when someone wins the lottery it's a happy ending for all. The prize money is spread around the whole family.
You will always see TV footage of a whole village or town neighbourhood dancing, hugging, kissing and drinking Cava on 22nd December ! They have all won the Spanish Christmas Lottery, El Gordo!
You can buy El Gordo tickets online in Spain at the official El Gordo website made by the 'Loterías y Apuestas del Estado', the Spanish Lottery organization. Most people in Spain buy at the many lottery ticket offices throughout Spain or they buy 'participaciones' at bars, offices or from family and friends.
If you live outside Spain there are many online companies who sell tickets. Some of them are probably quite genuine and trustworthy, but we suggest you check their references carefully before you buy.
There is a 20% tax on all El Gordo prizes over €2500. 2012 was the last year of taxfree El Gordo prizes. From 2013 all prizes above €2500 are taxed at 20% which means if you win El Gordo of €400.000 from a décimo ticket, then you will receive €320,000 after the tax has been paid.
In recent years there have been many examples of scams by people purporting to represent the El Gordo Lottery, mostly aimed at non-residents of Spain, who don't know how the lottery operates. The bottom line is that if you didn't buy a lottery ticket, then you have obviously not won, so don't fall for anything without checking with the official organisation in Spain.
Good luck - Bon Sort - Buena Suerte!
Lottery tip! Don't buy your ticket too late or all the lottery tickets can be sold out!
If you didn't win in El Gordo try the other big Christmas lottery in Spain on 6th January (Kings Day) called 'El Niño' lottery.
The Catalan government has also started a Catalan version of El Gordo called la Grossa de Cap D'any which also has a big payout.

This week's FOIA roundup: expensive calls to nowhere and protecting the right to be curious about government
The week in transparency and accountability battles, threats, and wins
Written by Sarah Alvarez
Edited by Katlyn Alo
Every week, MuckRock brings to you this roundup of why having access to information about what our government and officials do with our money and in our name matters and who's working on what to keep this info flowing. What are you working on? Let us know Let us know so we can shout it out.
If a phone company can't connect calls… isn't that an issue?
Not if the customers are incarcerated people and their families, it appears. Our very own senior reporter Beryl Lipton reported this week that more than half the calls to and from one small jail in Michigan weren't completed — but the cost was still passed along to families.
We want to know more about the extent and impacts of prison privatization on outcomes for incarcerated people and their loved ones. Got a tip? Shoot Beryl a message.

Tennessee rejects bill targeting records requests as "harassment"
By Kent Hoover
Earlier this month, the Tennessee General Assembly rejected legislation aimed at preventing people from using public records requests to harass government employees.
The legislation, SB 590, failed on a 5-4 vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 18. Critics contended the bill's definition of harassment was too subjective and could be used against citizens who simply wanted information on how their government works.
The bill was prompted by requests in the small city of Gallatin where one individual made 133 public records requests in one year, mostly to do with body camera footage and the fluoride levels in drinking water according to the Gallatin News. City officials complained the requests were keeping them from being able to do their jobs
Under the legislation, local governments could request the court to issue an injunction against an individual after they make five records requests that are judged to be harassment. The bill defined harassment as records requests "made maliciously," that serve no "legitimate purpose," and "seriously abuse, intimidate, threaten or harass" records custodians or other public officials. The bill also included provisions suggested by media organizations and the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government. For example, it specified that requests made by news organizations and academic researchers met the "legitimate purpose" test, as did requests by others intent on investigating the work of government for a public purpose. Those safeguards didn't go far enough for committee Chairman Mike Bell.
"I'm concerned about the person who would be the political gadfly," Bell said during debate over the legislation. "I know one of those back home. And I think you could probably ask people in local government, and they would say his activity might constitute harassment under your bill. And I just see someone who literally wants to know how government operates."
Michigan slow-walking reforms
Detroit Free Press reporter Paul Egan found not much has changed in the year since Governor Gretchen Whitmer promised filing a FOIA request would get faster and cheaper under her watch. Michigan is a FOIA bottom-dweller, being one of only two states that exempt the Governor's office from FOIA and one of 8 exempting the legislature. Whitmer promised to push for an end to those exemptions and make sure all state departments were fulfilling requests without additional delays and extra fees.
Egan found agencies still don't track response times and requesters say a 10-day extension is still "the rule, not the exception." Egan asked the Attorney General's office why they quoted a different journalist, Jim Malewitz, almost $900 for just a FOIA request log. The Attorney General's office responded by directing the Freep "to put that question, along with earlier questions about Attorney General Dana Nessel's FOIA goals and the tracking of those goals, into a FOIA request." Whomp. Whomp. More at the Freep.

But really, there is a LOT of information about each of us out there
Staunch believers in public information can also be equally invested in some information remaining private, right? If that's you, check out the New York Times' open-source anti-doxxing guide. Cool of them.

Feed-in tariff campaign boosts UK solar power
One of our biggest and brightest campaign wins has to be the UK's solar power success story.
Published: 26 Sep 2017 | 6 minute read
Friends of the Earth has boosted green energy in homes and businesses around the country - part of our work to beat climate change.
In 2010, we persuaded the government to pass a new law to ensure people got a decent payment for tackling climate change by generating their own renewable electricity. The payment – known as the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) – gave the solar industry the support it needed to grow and created thousands of jobs.
When the Treasury later tried to make unlawful and crippling cuts to the scheme, our supporters, local groups and lawyers came to the rescue.
UK energy law: how did we improve it?
The concept was simple: reward people, communities and businesses for installing renewable technologies like solar panels, wind and water turbines – and turn our buildings, farms and rivers into clean power stations. How? By changing the Energy Bill then passing through parliament (now the Energy Act 2010).
At the time, in 2008, the UK was near the bottom of the European renewable energy league table. Other countries were putting us to shame. Germany was generating 200 times more solar power than the UK. The Germans were world leaders in clean energy. Why? Because they were driving demand by paying households and businesses for the green power they generated.
Working with the Renewable Energy Association we pulled together a huge coalition to back the campaign – from the Coop Bank to the National Farmers Union. And with our supporters and renewable energy champion Alan Simpson MP, we urged parliament to vote for changes to the Energy Bill.
The changes we wanted would guarantee people – installing a green energy system in their home, business or community building – a premium price for the electricity or heat they generated.
And the cost of creating a new UK industry, employing thousands of workers, while reducing climate-changing emissions? Just a few quid a year extra on people's energy bills. Amazing value – especially when you consider the amount the taxpayer loses on subsidising fossil fuels like oil.
Singer Lilly Allen, along with Europe's first solar-powered music studio, got fully behind our campaign. As did Razorlight's Johnny Borrell who recorded Funeral Blues at that very same solar studio in support of our climate campaign, The Big Ask.
Having worked at The Premises solar-powered recording studio I have experienced how clean and green renewable energy is. I fully support giving people a renewable energy reward for the power they generate. It's good to be green! Singer, Lilly Allen
The Premises – whose solar studio has also been used by artists such as the Klaxons, Hot Chip, and Bloc Party – sent an e-mail to all MPs, with a message from Lily Allen, asking for a renewable energy tariff to be included in the Energy Bill.
Without such a tariff, energy companies had shown little interest in buying electricity from people with small-scale renewable energy installations. And when they did, they only paid a very low price. This held back the uptake of renewable technologies like rooftop solar because it was impossible to recoup the cost of the panels over their lifetime – meaning only people who didn't care about financial return were buying them.
However much they might wish to be green, for many businesses it is simply not financially viable to install renewable energy. If the UK followed the example of Germany and introduced a premium Feed-in Tariff, the initial costs of installing renewable technologies such as our solar panels would be re-couped in a much shorter time, and after that turn a profit. This would be a huge incentive.
Julia Craik, Director of Europe's first solar-powered music studio, April 2008
We won. The government introduced the legislation we had been demanding and MPs overwhelmingly voted for it. The improved Bill entered into law as the Energy Act 2010. For the first time, this meant that renewable energy could be owned by anyone – not just big companies.
Immediately homeowners, businesses, community groups, schools and councils all wanted in on the deal, forcing the sector to grow. As a result prices dropped, and by 2015 the cost of solar panels in the UK had more than halved. The outcome was amazing, especially for solar power: quickly leading to hundreds of thousands of installations – and thousands of new jobs.
What is the FIT scheme?
The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) is a payment from energy companies to anyone generating their own electricity from renewable sources such as solar photovoltaic (solar PV) or wind. It launched in April 2010 thanks to a successful campaign by Friends of the Earth and our supporters.
The electricity you generate and use yourself is free, and you also get paid for every unit that you don't use but export back into the grid.
Generators get:
Free electricity – the electricity you generate and use is free, saving you money on your energy bills.
A generation tariff – your electricity supplier pays for every unit (kWh) of electricity you generate. Tariffs vary depending on the size and type of system.
An export tariff – you also get paid around 5p for every unit you don't use but export back to the national grid.
Once you've signed up, FIT payments are guaranteed for 20 years. It's tax free and because it's index linked it won't be reduced by inflation.
What is the Renewable Heat Incentive?
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is similar to the FIT. But it rewards people producing clean green heat from renewable technologies like solar thermal or biomass boilers. The RHI has 2 schemes: domestic and non-domestic.
When our old oil boiler conked out, I got in an energy consultant to advise on how best to reduce the carbon footprint of our home. He crunched some numbers, reminded us about draught proofing and insulation, etc, then said a pellet boiler would slash our emissions by 60%. I was hooked.
Dominic Murphy, Friends of the Earth Editor
How did FIT increase community energy?
The Feed-in Tariff guaranteed long-term premium payments for renewable energy. It meant that people could pay back the costs of their renewable installations within a decade and then go on to make a profit.
Some people rented out their roofs to investors who installed solar panels to receive the FIT. It meant they got free energy during the day in return for their roof space. Consumer generation and the UK solar industry started to boom.
Local authorities and housing charities realised they could take social housing tenants out of fuel poverty by having about 30% of their electricity bills coming from their own roofs – and having an income stream that would pay for energy improvements to the properties themselves.
In Germany the FIT led to more than half of its massive renewable energy capacity being owned by individuals, families, towns, farms or other collectives of people bundling their money together.
The government's illegal FIT cuts – and how we stopped them
The Feed-in Tariff was much more popular that the government had envisaged. In 2012 it tried to close most of the scheme because the money it allocated – albeit an arbitrary budget – had nearly run out.
This put around 25,000 jobs in Britain's new solar industry at risk, and risked undermining all of the progress that had been made.
Solar panels were getting cheaper to produce and install. But instead of reducing the Feed-in Tariff in line with these falling costs, the government threw the industry into chaos by proposing deep and sudden cuts. Solar projects were immediately put on ice as people worried that the new FIT payments wouldn't be enough to pay back the cost of the panels.
The government was acting unlawfully. It was planning to dramatically cut the rate it had promised – and do so without giving fair notice.
We worked with the newly-grown solar industry to stop the government by taking it to court. Not once. Not twice. But 3 times. Victory was sealed in the Supreme Court when the government lost its final appeal.
But we also provided a way forward. We got the government to agree to a new policy that would allow solar to grow but bring the level of support down as the cost of solar panels fell. And we secured an extra £1 billion for the solar industry so that the scheme could continue.
What has the Feed-in Tariff done for UK renewable energy?
In 2010, a mere 7% of UK electricity came from renewables. Fast forward to 2016, and clean energy sources were generating 25% of our electricity.
The FIT – along with other schemes designed to encourage larger renewables – has played an important part. And in particular has been a great success story for solar power in the UK. There are more than 700,000 people in Britain with solar panels on their roofs. Creating an industry which brings in millions of pounds of taxes and helps us to meet our climate change targets.
But government policy in the UK is still holding back solar.
In 2015 the government again announced that it was planning to slash the FIT scheme by nearly 90%. Once more Friends of the Earth launched an emergency campaign, teaming up with charities and businesses to fight back. Thousands of our supporters took action. We were able to get the government to reduce the scale of its cuts, buying the solar industry a lifeline.
While these cuts have likely cost more than 15,000 people their jobs  in the solar industry, it is still surviving. In the meantime, solar gets cheaper and more popular every day. New technologies like batteries and electric vehicles continue to improve the economics of solar power. Meanwhile other renewables – like offshore wind – are reducing in cost far more quickly than most people expected.
Support renewables and help us stop fracking
The Paris Climate Agreement aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The UK has to do its bit. Around 75% of our electricity must come from clean energy sources by 2030.
But the government is hellbent on new ways to dig up fossil fuels like oil and gas. It's forcing fracking on to communities who don't want it.

Q: Как правильно в функциональном компоненте React остановить for await цикл? Мне нужно тормозить выполнение цикла по внешней переменной (код ниже, упростил его, ошибок нет)
Но если я меняю переменную во время цикла, цикл все равно не останавливается и доходит до конца.
Как правильно в функциональном компоненте React остановить for await цикл?
const status = {
  status: false,
  play: function () {
    this.status = true
  }
  stop: function () {
    this.status = false
  }
}

const play = async () => {
  status.play()
  for await (let [i, e] of appState.project.entries()) {
    if (status.status) {
      'few async calls'
    } else {
    break
    }
  }
}

<button onClick={()=>{status.stop()}>STOP</button>

A: Получилось тормозить цикл вот таким вот способом - обернув объект со статусом и функциями в useCallback. Теперь если цикл запущен и вызвать text.stop - цикл отсанавливается
const text = useCallback(
    {
      playStatus: false,
      stop: function () {
        this.playStatus = false
        console.log(this.playStatus)
      },
      play: async function () {
        this.playStatus = true
        for await (let [i, e] of appState.project.entries()) {
          if (this.playStatus) {
            setPlayingElem({ blob: e.blob, index: i })
            let duration = await getBlobDuration(e.blob)
            audioRef.current.play()
            await delay(duration)
          } else {
            break
          }
        }
        setPlayingElem(false)
      }
    },
    [appState]
  )


MINEOLA – Today Nassau County Executive Laura Curran met with Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and Legislator Josh Lafazan, who are co-chairing the County Executive's Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation. During the meeting, Commissioner Ryder and Legislator Lafazan provided updates regarding information-gathering and progress already achieved by the Task Force, which will produce a report for the County Executive by March 15th, 2019.
The Task Force is divided into six sub-committees, as follows: Municipalities, Small Business, Community Impact, Law Enforcement and Public Safety, Schools, and Public Health. Each individual subcommittee has begun engagement and fact-finding around respective issues regarding legalization.
While no legislation has yet been passed to legalize recreational marijuana in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo and leaders in the state legislature have made clear their intention to affirmatively address the issue in the current legislative session.
The primary objective of the County Executive's Task Force is to bring together leaders from across the County to study key local needs in advance of potential legalization, including the identification of equipment and training requirements for officers, public health protocols, zoning regulations, school safety requirements, new regulatory and licensing procedures, and tax revenue and business development implications. The overall goal is for Nassau County and its residents to be fully prepared for this potential change to New York State law on day one.
