Spending time with your children in a campsite away from digital screens and other distractions is really fun.
Camping with kids may seem like a tough challenge, but it doesn't have to be. Spending time with your children away from screens and other distractions is really fun. Passing on a family tradition and strengthening relationships are a couple of reasons why people camp.
Below are a few suggestions to make your family outing fun and enjoyable, and keep your sanity at the same time!
The right expectations will make for a great trip.
Remember to pack clothes you can layer.
Let your child have a say in the packing process. They'll appreciate getting to have input, and it's a great opportunity to teach them what to bring along...and what to leave at home. You might ask your child, "It's going to be hot during the day and cold at night, so what clothes do you need to bring?" "We're going on a hike, what do you need to bring?" Let them choose an item or two that is special for them to bring along. If your kids are older, create a list for them to pack, otherwise you might end up with no clothes but an amazing assortment of legos, water guns, and loud things. Remember to pack clothes so you can layer. Shedding items when it's hot, or adding when it's cold, will help keep your child comfortable.
Let your little one help out.
It can be frustrating trying to set up a tent or prepare a meal when the kids are running around getting into things or, let's face it, are fighting with each other. Plan and assign them tasks appropriate for their age and ability; little ones can gather kindling or fill water bottles, and older kids can prepare food, wash dishes, or set up their own tents. Pro tip: A little encouragement goes a long way!
A camping tradition -- roasting marshmallows.
Kids love to be involved cooking their own food that can be cooked at the end of a stick. Introduce your kids to the camping tradition of roasting marshmallows and cooking hot dogs over a fire. Please see our Cooking in Camp page for more tips, tricks and recipes for meals.
Enjoy the stroll with your kids.
When taking a hike, remember that little legs are shorter than yours, and not as fast. (And if your kid's legs are longer than yours, they might still have a little trouble keeping up!) There will be a lot of stop and go. Choose family-friendly hikes on nature trails. Break up hikes with opportunities to look at things on the trail (binoculars are fun!), drink some water out of that new water bottle, or pull out a snack you let them carry in their day pack. If you have a backpack kid carrier, wear it. The walking motion provides an opportunity for your little one to catch a nap while you hike.
Kids and binoculars -- a great way to explore nature.
Some parks have activity packs you can sign out. These packs are loaded with fun-filled items geared toward exploring nature. Check with the visitor center to see if your park has them.
Schedule some down-time with your child.
Camping in a national park allows you to do and see many things. A full day of camping and recreating can make even adults tired. Schedule activities that are fun for everyone, yet allow for some down-time off of your feet. Visit the Plan Your Visit section of NPS.gov (or the park you are visiting) for available activities. Also consider a camping activity or Jr. Ranger books.


Tinto is our home site. It offers good ridge soaring as well as thermic flying.
For all the details on access, take-off and landing zones please refer to our site guides for Tinto.
Tinto has relatively easy access and plenty of parking space. This is due to agreement with the local farmers who own the land around Tinto, keep the tracks in good condition and ensure we have a nice field to land on, even during the lambing season. A large proportion of our club fees go towards maintaining this relationship.

Should the Absolute Constitutional Prohibition of Non-natural Born Citizens as President Be Changed?
To permit those who fully disclose their status to be elected and to assume the office?
This article is a trial balloon to offer a new twist on something only occasionally discussed — perhaps for good reasons. There may be objections that make even its suggestion absurd; perhaps people such as George Soros or Arnold Schwarzenegger might get elected. Among the silliest reasons I have read is this:
The actual effects of the natural-born clause are not as important as its symbolism. Barring immigrant citizens from the White House is a pointless insult. Such nativism is weirdly out of place in the charter of a multicultural nation where immigrants run our largest businesses, command our armies, and preside over our courts. The natural-born clause elevates the accident of birth over the accomplishments of the individual. It compromises the American faith that social mobility and openness foster national strength.
Nevertheless, it may make enough sense to warrant more extensive exploration. How about an amendment to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution to provide,
No Person except a natural born Citizen of the United States shall be eligible to the Office of President; provided, however, that this provision shall not limit the eligibility of any Citizen who accurately, openly, and publicly discloses that he is not a natural born Citizen of the United States by declaring the country and date of his birth, and the date of his immigration to the United States, and the date of his naturalization as a Citizen of the United States, in all campaign advertisements, literature and other campaign materials disseminated at his direction as well as all disseminated under the direction of those subject to his direction, at least one hundred and eighty days prior to the date fixed for the national popular election in which he seeks the Presidency and also thereafter in all such materials so disseminated preceding the date of such election.
No person shall be eligible to the Office of President who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been at least fourteen Years a Citizen of and Resident within the United States.
Since the Twelfth Amendment provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States," amendment of Article II, Section 1 as above would probably make amendment of the Twelfth Amendment redundant; any vice presidential candidate not a natural born citizen would be well advised to make the disclosures required in the amended Article II, Section 1. Were he to fail to do so, the natural-born requirement would remain in effect for him — just as it would for any non natural born presidential candidate who failed to abide by its requirements.
Such an Article II, Section 1 amendment would allow the voters to decide, based on adequate information, whether they desire a citizen at least thirty-five years old and a resident within the country for the prescribed number of years, although not "natural born," to become their president. It would require disclosure and should promote exploration of the subject, something remarkably absent during the 2008 campaign and still a matter of dispute. The provision — a type of amnesty based on disclosure — would also provide substantial incentives for a non natural born candidate who wanted to conceal his ineligibility status nevertheless to reveal it. If the majority of voters did not want someone born in Somalia, for example, to become the President, he could not; if they did, he could.
Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution now provides,
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Legitimate or not, the many questions surrounding President Obama's constitutional qualification as a "natural born citizen" arising under this Article have done little more than stimulate litigation and serve as distractions from his motivations and lack of both competence and accomplishment. It is likely that he has manipulated the dispute over "birther" questions to that end, successfully, and that he will continue to do so during the 2012 campaign, in conjunction with more of the unfounded allegations as made in the past of racism on the part of all who assert that his presidency has been a disaster for the country. As questioned here,
Is this issue so crucial to the future of the country that it should trump the matter of Obama's consistency with the Constitution in all of its manifold aspects? Or the harm President Obama has done, and is likely to continue to do, regardless of his constitutional qualifications? If I had the misfortune to be President Obama, having finally released my "long form" birth certificate, I would continue to prance away from substance and pump the "natural born citizen" issue for all it's worth. I might as well say, "if those right-wing nuts aren't satisfied with the tardy release of my real birth certificate, they are really beneath contempt." And many would accept this. It can be a great decoy to divert attention from all else — and push him over the top in 2012. As suggested here:
It's tempting to speculate that Obama used today's release to make the birth certificate a bigger story, to distract from the story that the press has spent 39% of its time covering: Namely, the economy.
In any event, were the status of someone not constitutionally qualified to be concealed, were he to be elected and become the President and were successful challenges to be made — something very difficult to do — there would be a constitutional crisis of the first magnitude. Impeachment might not work. President, then Congressman, Ford noted on the floor of the House during debate over whether Mr. Justice Douglas should be impeached that "impeachable offense" means whatever a majority of the members of the House and two-thirds of the members of the Senate say it means at any given time. He was, for practical purposes, correct. Still, and regardless of impeachment, any binding determination that the President had not been constitutionally qualified when he assumed office would throw all of the legislation he had signed as President into substantial doubt. That could, but probably wouldn't, happen and an amendment such as here suggested would make that possibility even more remote.
The natural born citizen requirement made a great deal of good sense when the Constitution was new. True, all of the early presidents had been born in and were longtime residents of what became the United States. However, Article II, Section 1 did not, then, prevent a person not born in the country from becoming the President if he had been a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution; the provisions of Article II would not in the early years of the country have prevented an immigrant, a long time resident but who had become a citizen only shortly before the Constitution was adopted, from becoming the President. The country is now much older and there is (obviously) no one now living who was a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Yet those provisions would now prevent even a long time citizen, resident and otherwise highly qualified person from becoming the President — perhaps an immigrant years ago from a Communist or Socialist country who well knows from personal experience what those system do, despises them and the useful idiots who want them and, throughout his time in elective office, had demonstrated his dedication to preventing them in the United States.
Would there be any potential loss of significant benefits — seemingly dubious at best now and in any event not recently experienced — that the absolute "natural born citizen" requirement has conferred? Is the elimination of all conceivable potential for such loss a fair trade for the potential benefits of a modification of the requirement? How would someone of the stature of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Winston Churchill or Margaret Thatcher stack up against the current crop of candidates and potential candidates? Character, experience and dedication to the basic foundations of the United States are very important and someone who has suffered from the results of their absence might serve us well. It seems imprudent, automatically and absolutely, to eliminate otherwise solid candidates from consideration if they meet not only the other constitutional requirements but those imposed by good sense and decency as well.
The framers of the Constitution wisely provided for its amendment, knowing that modification might be needed better to serve future generations. They purposely made the amendment process difficult, cumbersome and time consuming and that's a good thing; an amendment such as here offered for discussion should not be lightly considered. Nor should it be lightly adopted or rejected.
The suggested amendment or one to substantially the same effect might involve potential risks. However, there would be ample opportunity during the national debate on the amendment for them to be fully ventilated and weighed against potential benefits.

I think this is one of those constitutional provisions that outlived its usefulness long ago. Pretty clear what it was intended to protect against, but time has moved on and it doesn't seem so important any more. Beyond that, it's an artificial limitation on voter choice. And who knows; it could be that the very best person available to be president might not be a natural born citizen.
What about this (seriously): To be president, one must be at least 35 years old, a U.S. citizen, and have been primarily a resident of the U.S. for X years (15? 20?). That would mean that if Arnold the Groper wants to run for president, the voters can decide if they want him (goofy accent and all). What's wrong with that?
Dan Miller | June 11th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
I'm not confident that the Constitutional provision has outlived its usefulness. Many folks still adhere to the natural born citizen requirement. That's why the suggested amendment would merely grant a form of amnesty for full disclosure by one not otherwise qualified:
No Person except a natural born Citizen of the United States shall be eligible to the Office of President; provided, however, that this provision shall not limit the eligibility of any Citizen who accurately, openly, and publicly discloses that he is not a natural born Citizen of the United States . . . .
Under this modification, "Arnold the Groper" would not be barred from the office; his lack of natural born status has already been revealed and is well known. He should have no difficulty in meeting the suggested disclosure requirement.
The big advantage that occurs to me is, as stated in the article, that it would diminish the incentive of a candidate not a "natural born citizen" to pretend that he is and would increase his incentive to disclose the facts. Questions continue to swirl about President Obama's status, as to which I remain agnostic, and those questions were and remain a big distraction from other questions which, in the aggregate, seem to me to be far more important. President Obama has played the issue like a fiddle and with great success. He needs all of the distractions he can find from his abysmal performance in office. They may well be his key to another four years in office.

Some of the protesters said they were there to promote the causes of the left wing.
"We are here to show our support for DACA and also to protest the white supremacy," Hamid Hakimi, a student advocate, told Berkeleyside. Some protesters said they would like to see the event closed, but others agreed that Coulter had the right to speak.
"I think it's important for us to hear people like him speak to know this is true," said a student Aurora. FOX 2.

There were two protesters inside the event, but only one was removed because the agreement was quiet, reported FOX 2.
The Berkeley campus was often the center for free debate, in September 2017 a four-day event called Free Speech Week was canceled due to Safety concerns Protesters sought to silence a featured speaker, provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.
Earlier that year, Coulter canceled a campus event, as well as safety concerns. he described the situation as "a dark day for free speech in America."

Scott Panetti is scheduled for execution in Texas on December 3, 2014.
In 1992, Panetti went off his medication, shaved his head, and dressed in camouflage fatigues. He went to his in-laws house and murdered his mother and father-in-law in front of his wife and daughter, according to The Atlantic.
At his trial, Panetti wore a cowboy costume and subpoenaed John F. Kennedy and the Pope.
Panetti has suffered from schizophrenia and other mental illness for over thirty years. He first exhibited signs of a psychotic disorder as a teenager. Beginning in 1978, he was hospitalized for mental illness on fifteen separate occasions. He developed a delusion that he was engaged in spiritual warfare with Satan. He tried to exorcize his home by burying furniture in the backyard because, he claimed, the devil was in it. He was involuntarily committed after swinging a sword at his wife and daughter and threatening to kill them.
Unsurprisingly, a jury convicted Panetti of murder. After calling only one witness—his stand-by counsel—at the penalty phase of his trial, the jury sentenced Panetti to death after only one day of deliberation.

Q: Php ratchet websocket $conn->send($msg)! How to get this messenge in client? Here my code (websocket php using rachet and wamp server!
public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
  $conn->send("Close client");
}

I will using $conn->send() to send a message for all client but i don't know how to get this message using autobahnJS on client?
Update
i found sulutions for this problem!
1) enabled debug mode in autobahnJS
ab.debug( true, true );

2) using conn._websocket.onmessage for get every messenge response from server.
conn._websocket.onmessage = function (e){
    data = JSON.parse(e.data);
    console.log(data[1]);
    if(data.cat=='serverEvents'){
    switch(data.action) {
        case 'updateServerinfo':
              jQuery.updateServerinfo(data.actionData);
        break;
            }
        }
    };

Thanks all.

A: autobahnJS has its own way of handling client requests made to the server. You are trying to send a request from the server (a "close all clients" request) to all the clients. The best way to do this, would be to have a thread that's polling your server for events every X seconds, using JS's setInterval() function. e.g.:
setInterval(checkForUpdate, 60 * 1000);
and in checkForUpdate():
function checkForContentUpdate(timetableId) {
    var serviceUrl = 'http://yourscripttocheckhere';

    var xhr = $.ajax({url: serviceUrl, cache: false, success: function(content) {
      // Check server reply and act accordingly
    }});
}

A: With AutobahnJS you have 2 ways of interacting with server-side: RPC and PubSub. If you want to send a message from server to all clients, just subscribe to some topic X in all clients and publish to X from server.
Disclosure: I'm original author of Autobahn and work for Tavendo.

A damning audit report from the Auditor-General of the Federation, Samuel Ukura, which was submitted to the National Assembly yesterday showed monumental corruption in some Federal Government's establishments.
Key aspects of the 2014 report which was presented to the Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Salisu Maikasuwa, include the alleged refusal of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to remit some N3,234,577,666,791.35 trillion revenue for the sale of domestic crude oil to the federation account.
According to the report, some $235,685,861.31 representing money realised from gas sale was diverted from the escrow account.
"Review of state profile on sale of gas to the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) was not paid to the Federation Account but transferred to some undisclosed escrow accounts. Relevant documents were not made available for verification.
"Sales profile on gas in respect of gas export sales due to federation were stated to have been paid and received through the NGL funding accounts, no statements or documents were made available to confirm the receipts as well as the utilisation of these payments made through the named account," the report further stated.
It was also alleged in the report that a total payment, amounting to N73,547,759,436 was made within the period in breach of established purpose of the funds. It stated: "The sum of N36,432,423,968.73 was released to the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) for the rehabilitation and construction of dams instead of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources.
"The sum of N2,894,531250.00 was spent for the procurement of hand sanitizers for schools and critical public places.The sum of N31,324,952,239.87 was payment of subsidy on fertilizer and youth employment in agricultural programmes.
"The sum of N2,395,851,978.00 was payment for group Life Assurance Premium for Armed Forces budget in 2013, but not backed. The sum of N500,000,000 was made as payment for agricultural programmes.
"These were at variance with the purpose of the fund. No evidence of these lines of expenditure in the 2014 Appropriation Act," the AGF revealed in the report.
But the report also indicted the management of the National Assembly that would process and give effect to the report. It stated that the management of the National Assembly made payments of N9,514,568,222.62, without raising payment vouchers. According to the AGF, the management of the National Assembly violated the nation's financial regulation.
In the same period under review, personal advances were granted to 112 officials of the National Assembly from recurrent votes and 50 members of staff from general service votes from July to December, 2014 for various purposes, all amounting to N1,162,009,305.00.
In the audit report, the AGF also revealed how the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington DC, United States of America, realised Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) between 2012 and March 2015, but expended the whole amount on sundry expenses. The said amount is $3,705,428.00.
The audit report indicted the leadership of the Nigerian Prisons Service. The AGF in the report said Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax of N2,036,758,176.75 was deducted and said to be remitted to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). According to the report, there is no evidence of remittance and nothing was produced for audit confirmation.
The Clerk to the National Assembly is expected to forward the report to the leadership of both chambers for further consideration.
Long live to Buari, long live to Nigeria. PDP has sold Nigeria and nigerians.
My GOD these people almost sold Nigeria.
Not almost, they certainly did. What is left is mere carcass.
Connecting the dots . I wrote earlier that David Mark was behaving true to type last week and that the reasons would soon be known? Now we see here that there is N14.31billion that the national assembly management has to explain, 9.514billion of which was made without payment voucher! …now you see why David Mark and the Clerk had to plan a coup to make Saraki the senate president in the wee hours of the morning while his party members were meeting somewhere?. you see the truth people!!….and that is just scratching the surface!
Now to the weighty discovery of what the ineffectual buffoon and the pdplutocrats did in 2014 alone as reported here. …I am convinced that it is because God said, enough already of death, destruction and destitution at the hands of evil doers lording it over Nigerians, that the pdplutocrats headed by the ineffectual buffoon were voted out. I have faith that God in His infinite mercies will support the administration of the government of the people by the people for the people headed by president Muhammadu Buhari to kill corruption before it kills Nigeria, recover stolen commonwealth, eliminate terrorism in the land and bequeath to future generations of Nigeria a progressive country where peace, liberty and freedom for all is guaranteed with everyone's right to the pursuit of happiness as dividends. So help us God!
I understand the emotion, but you are contradicting yourself. This forum have edit function, use it!
This has nothing to do with David Mark, rather we should be weeping if this report is authentic. These series of looting carried out by our so clled public officers is easy because nigerians are very gullible to accept most of these lootings by our public officers. instead of demanding their rights and making sure every person indicted is punish within the law. David Mark did not head NNPC. ONSA and manyother departments mention in the audit report. so we should put aside our personal malice and talk about national disgrace and shame that we are reading every day on pages of our newspapers.
The illiterate cannot read, so how do you expect him to discern such big grammar?
Our FIRS auditors are all billionaires because they get bribed not to reveal the truth. It's not only the few government agencies and the embassy mentioned that are guilty of corruption. Every Nigerian ministry and embassy is the same – they bribe the auditors that are sent to audit them. The auditors are the only ones that can help reveal the dirty deeds of the criminal politicians, so I'll suggest the President starts his anti corruption campaign by first cleaning up the FIRS.

Which Are The Best Adjustable Beds in Darien CT?
It does not matter what style of a bed or mattress you have, inevitably it will get old and you will need to invest in a new one. With all the trends and new ground-breaking technologies being promoted to consumers these days, its often times a wonder why even more people don't elect to purchase a brand new mattress. Granted some of these can be steeply-priced, for the most part they are moderately priced furthermore you get a few really good benefits that you would most likely not have with your old plain mattress or bed. Just recently I was searching on the net for some information and facts about adjustable beds and mattresses for a customer and I found a few sites that present not only information but additionally links to several of the best brands of beds offered for sale online.
The ever increasing variety of these beds appears to have a selection that goes on forever, but one of the most trendy variety appears to be something called Dual Comfort. This kind of mattress is mainly made with one side being firmer than the other. This form of mattress makes it possible for you to flip over your mattress for entirely unique feeling. Along with replacement mattresses which are adjustable you could also buy sleeper sofas that are actually adjustable too.
The Empress mattress is simply a traditional pillow top mattress intended for adjustable beds using the workhorse 312 coil innerspring. It includes an off white Damask cover with a open quilt design. Pillow top lies on both sides of the mattress for extended use. Starts at $500 and rises in cost with the size.
Fully customizable alternatives and features. Innerspring comfort possibilities in soft, medium or extra firm. The ideal sleep position for the head and feet is literally within reach by having user-friendly hand controls and the Premier's Swift-Adjust motors. The Premier design comes standard having a high-density foam foundation along with a heavy-duty base made with material that will not warp, break or squeak. Starts at approximately $1500 for a deluxe top twin and naturally goes higher with price. One of the most costly one I discovered was for about $4k and it was a king Firm Talalay Latex Core with Plush Quilted Cover. If you buy a twin bed for sure its going to be valued less in comparison to a giant king bed! These things may need to be considered in cases where comparing beds, as well as how much room you have.
Did you find this information interesting? Don't hesitate to share this article with your family and friends, that reside in Darien CT. You never have an idea when they may be planning to buy an adjustable bed frame in Darien CT.

K League United Monthly Awards - April
K League United May 09, 2019 read ( words)
Football Radar's Alex Lee is back with his Player, Young Player, and Manager of the Month for April after watching every match of the K1 season thus far.
Player of the Month - Kim Jin-hyuk (Daegu FC)
April's Player of the Month award was difficult to decide as there were various players with outstanding performances. After narrowing down the candidates, the award went to Daegu's Kim Jin-hyuk. The 25-year-old (striker-turned-) defender-turned-striker came into the team for the prolific forward Edgar who was injured while having a stellar start to the season. Many Daegu fans were worried by their star striker being ruled out, but Kim filled his shoes superbly. In April, he collected four goals and one assist in just four appearances, ending up with the highest goals-assists total for the month in the league. His goals came against Incheon, Seongnam and Pohang, which secured points for Daegu to continue their excellent run. With Kim now joining the army, Sangju will be hoping that his scoring form does not get lost in military training.
Aleksandar Pešić (FC Seoul)
Júnior Negrão (Ulsan Hyundai FC)
Young Player of the Month - Takahiro Kunimoto (Gyeongnam FC)
On the contrary, deciding April's Young Player of the Month was straightforward. Japanese midfielder Kunimoto has developed from being a special talent last year, to becoming the key player at Gyeongnam. Shifting between winger and central midfield, the roaming playmaker has been the heartbeat of the team who kept them alive through their rollercoaster season. Although Gyeongnam's results were poor in April, Kunimoto's performances were a joy to watch and it was clear that the team were relying on him more than they were on big-name players like Negueba and Jordan Mutch. Even at the age of 21, he is currently one of the best midfielders in the league.
Song Bum-keun (Jeonbuk Hyundai)
Cho Young-wook (FC Seoul)
Manager of the Month - José Morais (Jeonbuk Hyundai)
Despite having a slow start, José Morais's Jeonbuk swiftly climbed to the top of the table with four consecutive wins. Their overall performance has not been top-tier as they still look vulnerable, but they have managed to score more goals than any other team in the league as Morais continues to utilise various attacking options in the squad. The manager also deserves credit for keeping the team together after their gloomy 3-3 draw against Gyeongnam where they surrendered a three-goal lead in the last ten minutes. Jeonbuk's 97th-minute winner against FC Seoul showed their desire to win games which was missing earlier in the season. Morais's challenge now will be to maintain this winning mentality for the long season ahead in the title race.
André (Daegu FC)
Nam Ki-il (Seongnam FC)

The balance of President Duque: "I have fulfilled the Colombians in 71 days"
The first president drew his own conclusions of what he has done in what little he has in power. He highlighted the decree to seize drugs, the beatings of criminal gangs and the departure of Colombia from Unasur, among other aspects.
73 days have passed since Ivan Duque became President of the Republic. Little time to make balances will say some, others will defend the model of government that already begins to outline with the decisions that have taken and, of course, its contractors will only see shadows and the beginning of a wrong path. However, according to the president's own assessment, up to now he has fulfilled what he promised in the campaign that brought him to power by lowering the flags of Uribismo.
"I come to tell you what 71 days it is very little for one to fulfill all that I wanted to do, but in 71 days you can be certain that many of the things I said to you have been fulfilled and I want to make reference to many of them, "the president said yesterday during a meeting with leaders from southwest Antioquia, in the municipality of Montebello. It should be noted that the accounts are poorly made, since from August 7 to October 18, there are 73 days.
And in its balance sheet, it began with what is perhaps one of the most controversial determinations that has generated in part from public opinion: the decree that allows the Police to seize any amount of illicit substances that are carried or are being consumed in the public places of the country . And then he recalled that a year ago, in that same region, several mothers and young people asked him if he was willing to do something about drugs: "Today I want to tell you that we have fulfilled them. We signed a decree in development of the Police Code that has allowed to confiscate any dose found in the streets, because we do not want the drug near the children of our country, "he said.
Then he insisted that he did not want to be a president locked up in the Casa de Nariño but close to the Colombian people, another of his campaign premises. And he spoke of the 12 workshops 'Construyendo País' that he has done so far, as he indicated, "listening to the Colombian people , recovering the sense of popular dialogue and building with citizens. And we also have more than 16 Security Councils throughout the country, demonstrating to the country that it once again had commander-in-chief alongside its soldiers, its police and the developing communities. " A clear taunt, without naming it, to his predecessor, Juan Manuel Santos.
President Duque also highlighted the results of the plans "The one that makes her pay" and "Diamond", implemented to combat crime and criminal gangs . "We have dealt accurate blows against the main criminal structures of the country." He added that the Public Force has confronted groups such as 'The Office', 'Clan del Golfo' and ELN, repeating the warnings he has made since taking office as head of State: "Let it be clear to you that this government has the will to assimilate what is demobilization, disarmament and reintegration, but here there is zero tolerance for any form of criminality. "
The balance sheet continued with the withdrawal of Colombia from Union of South American Nations (Unasur), an organization that, according to him, validates the dictatorship of Venezuela , whose president was denounced along with other countries before the International Criminal Court. And he also said that he has fulfilled the agricultural sector, where it seeks to technify the institutions. "In 70 days we started and we continue with that first initiative, which we have shown solidarity with the coffee population," referring to the more than $ 100 billion that will be allocated to help coffee cooperatives.
Finally, Duque highlighted the task in terms of housing loans, resources for education, support for small businesses, elimination of procedures to facilitate business activity, school feeding and fight against corruption. And he concluded: "What I hope is that in four years, when I say goodbye to the House of Nariño, the house of the Colombians, I can look at all the Colombians in the eyes with the government program in hand and tell them we meet them. "


I accompanied Westminster School on a mammoth two and a half week music tour of Europe this July, taking in Liverpool, London, Eindhoven, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich and Salzburg. The group from Adelaide, South Australia, toured with 3 ensembles - a big band, a choir and a rock band.
I picked up a very jet-lagged group from Manchester Airport early in the morning, but there was no time to rest as we embarked on a packed 18 day itinerary.
We were blessed with a very comfortable and spacious coach from AVA Coaches, so we had no trouble getting all of the bags and instruments on board before departing. This had to be done very quickly, as the British 'summer' had provided us with driving rain and a temperature of 10 degrees, which I was informed was exactly the same as winter down-under - how depressing!
Our first stop was the Beatles Story on Albert Dock, a very enjoyable experience for any fan of the Fab Four. The main tour takes you through the life of the band from their origins to their final album. The highlight is undoubtedly walking through an actual yellow submarine although, if pushed for time, you may want to skip the 4D experience - you're likely to get wet!
Continuing the Beatles themed day, Westminster's rock band had the pleasure of playing the world famous Cavern Club, where they drew a good crowd of tourists and locals. And they can now say they've played the same venue as the Beatles!
While in Liverpool, we also found time for a tour of Anfield. As a Manchester United fan, I reluctantly went along. I will admit that the club museum was interesting, but they were sadly unable to give me an answer when I asked about the whereabouts of their Premier League trophies.
Accommodation for Liverpool was provided by the YHA, a five minute drive from the centre of the city and within walking distance of the Albert Dock. Rooms were of a good standard, but what really impressed was the excellent customer service and varied dinner buffet – which was very welcome after such a busy day!
The next day brought better weather and another excellent concert - this time with a very different feel.
Abbotsholme School near Uttoxeter gave the Westminster Choir and Big Band chance to show off their skills to a UK audience for the first time.
Playing in a gorgeous, compact school hall with wonderful acoustics, the choir and band really got the crowd on side with an energetic performance which ended with a standing ovation and an open invite to return to perform again!
Following another short trip southwards and a very comfortable night in the Copthorne in Slough, we visited Windsor Castle and were fortunate enough to be in attendance for the changing of the guard.
The group were all very impressed by the musical portion of the ceremony. Unfortunately, for the second time in the tour, we were victims of the British summer. Thankfully, the itinerary was flexible, allowing us to make a few changes and head down to London early.
The UK's capital was to be our base for the next five days. We stayed in the YHA Thameside - a hostel very similar to the one in Liverpool. Again, the staff were very impressive from start to finish, ensuring a quick and efficient check-in process, good meals and a helpful 24-hour reception. The hostel also had a lovely communal room with a large TV, which allowed us to relax in front of the European Championships after long days exploring London.
Our time in London was pretty non-stop. We took in two shows (Aladdin and Mama Mia), rode the London Eye, visited the London Dungeon and the Tate Modern, shopped in Selfridges and on Oxford Street, and experienced the Tower of London.
All of this simply reinforced for us that London is a place that can offer everything, no matter what kind of trip you're looking for. The arts, history, culture, sport - London has it all!
As great as all the sightseeing was, the highlight of our time in the city was undoubtedly the two fantastic concerts that had been arranged for us. The first took place in Regent's Park on a warm Sunday afternoon.
The bandstand there is the ideal setting for an outdoor concert. It's a stone's throw away from a lake and at the bottom of a small natural amphitheatre, which is busy with people who are very open to hearing some music on a warm afternoon.
The park staff were great and the whole operation ran like clockwork. The coach was able to pull up 100m from the bandstand, chairs were delivered as we arrived, advertising provided by Halsbury had all been displayed around the park and, best of all, there was an ice-cream stand where non-musicians such as myself could grab a lolly to enjoy during the concert. The band played so well that afternoon that they ended up playing half an hour longer than originally planned – a great success!
The second London gig took place at the Victoria Gardens next to Embankment Station on a lovely outdoor stage. The audience were big fans of the Westminster rock band, who received loud cries of "encore" upon finishing their set and even prompted a conga line around the gardens for their final song!
For the band members, this was a valuable exercise in keeping a crowd, as all of their concerts up to that point had had a somewhat captive audience, whereas they were now playing to people on their lunch break. The band needed to give them a reason to stay and they certainly rose to the challenge!
For the continental leg of the tour, we travelled with Hamiltons Coaches, who provided a brand new 61 seat coach with ample luggage room and friendly driver, which is always a plus. To my dismay, the DVD player worked perfectly, so I was made to sit through films such as The Sound of Music and Pitch Perfect on our longer travel days!
We had an early start on our travel day across the Channel but, despite the recently heightened checks at the Port of Dover, we managed to make an early ferry and arrived at the lovely Campanile Eindhoven in the Netherlands ahead of schedule.
This hotel was slightly different to the hostels we had been using for the UK leg. It was quite a novelty to be served our dinner by waitresses, instead of at a buffet. However, despite the long travel day, there was to be no let-up in the itinerary as the group aimed to fit in as much into their 18 days as humanly possible.
We were up early again for another concert, this time at the International School in Eindhoven (a primary school). This was another good learning curve for the bands, as they had to perform three short concerts in quick succession to the different age groups.
Due to the young age of the audience, the band had to maintain high levels of energy throughout and employ lots of different techniques to keep them engaged; this included small prize give-aways and competitions between the trumpeters. The famous Victoria Gardens conga-line also made a reappearance in all three shows!
What was intended to be an opportunity to recharge our batteries in Amsterdam after over a week on tour turned out to be more tiring than most concert days! We managed to squeeze a canal cruise, 3 hour bike tour, a visit to Anne Frank House and 2 hours of shopping into one day.
We were quite impressed with Amsterdam on the whole; its reputation can be off-putting for some, but there is a lot that's suitable for school groups to see and experience. My one recommendation: look out for bicycles!
From this point on we would be staying in A&O hostels in Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich. All three were of identical standards, to the point where my room in Munich was a carbon copy of my room in Berlin!
A&O is a German company, so we experienced very efficient service throughout and the rooms were all clean and functional - most appeared to have been newly renovated with very nice bathrooms.
Breakfast and dinner were served buffet-style in all three establishments with a wide range of salads and side dishes to accompany the dish of the day. Those children with specific dietary requirements were catered for consistently well by A&O, who provided varied meals for gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian guests.
I had been keen to show off my favourite city in the world to the group since the very beginning of the trip. For me, Berlin has it all - great food and drink, an incredibly interesting and varied history, an easy-to-use public transport system and welcoming locals.
The fact that Berlin was split for so long during the Cold War also means that you're in effect getting three cities for the price of one: the capitalist former West Berlin, the communist former East Berlin, and the newly unified Berlin somewhere in between.
We spent our first evening in Germany's capital atop the Bundestag (former Reichstag), a building dripping with history. The dome on top of the Bundestag really is a must for any visitor to Berlin. It's free to climb and allows for views of all the major sights in the city, as well as a glimpse inside the German parliament chamber itself.
After a short guided tour and a few photo opportunities, we made our way back to the hostel for some much needed rest in anticipation of the two Berlin concerts to come.
Westminster's first concert in Berlin took place on the roof of the East Side Blick Café, sandwiched between the East Side Gallery (the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall) and the river Spree on a very hot afternoon, by my standards at least.
As with the previous concerts, the band were very well received by the locals and tourists alike, although the blazing sunshine left the performers very drained for their nuclear bunker and museum tour at the Story of Berlin - an interesting insight into the city's past found in the middle of a shopping centre on Kurfürstendamm.
The next few days were spent seeing the various sights in an around Berlin, including a very informative and fun walking tour with John from Insider Berlin and a sobering visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp.
Before moving on to Munich there was time to play at the Josef-Schmidt Musikschule in Berlin-Köpenick, arguably the band's best musical performance in a school hall with fantastic acoustics. The audience composed mainly of locals were really involved in the performance and we left the following morning for Munich tired, but happy.
With no concerts planned for the day in Munich, we were free to explore the city. Most of the morning was spent admiring the wide selection of food and drink at the Viktualienmarkt and seeking out 'authentic' Bavarian souvenirs, such as Lederhosen and presents for parents from the Hofbrauhaus and Hard Rock Café.
The afternoon was geared towards the petrolheads in the group with a quick drop in to the BMW World: a showcase for all things BMW and Mini - a 'must-see' for any car fan visiting Munich.
The first stop in Salzburg was Hellbrunn Castle and the trick fountains. Our guide and controller of the water jets was intent on making sure everyone left soaking wet, especially the teachers.
The final night of the tour was celebrated in style with a formal dinner, presentations and a Mozart concert in the Festung Hohensalzburg – the iconic castle that has stood guard over the city since the 11th century.

Q: Use High Resolution Bullet Point Image for UL I need to use a 100 px wide bullet image for a ul, but then scale it down to 8px and have it behave like the normal ul bullet list.
ul.bg-img li {
    background-image: url(http://placehold.it/100x100);
    background-size: 8px 8px;
 ...
}

The problem is that the bullet does not line up with the first row of content. If I put a heading tag and a paragraph inside the li, then the bullet displays in the middle of the li element or below it.
If I add a margin and padding to move it around, it does not work for variable line heights and amounts of content.
/* breaks when going to second line */
margin: 1.00em 0 0 -30px;
padding: 0 0 0 20px;

It should behave like the default bullets: aligned to top content.
http://jsfiddle.net/TheFiddler/nqvfj004/
NOTE: I need to use a 100px high resolution bullet because this is for a webapp that exports the web preview to print.

A: You should place it on the first element inside the li instead of the whole li. Try this selector :
ul.bg-img li *:first-child

demo

A: instead of background image please use: list-style-image:url(http://placehold.it/100x100); and see the result. you don't need to use background at all.

A: Set background-position from top, shift position on large font elements
First, set your background-position to some value from the top, not the center. I prefer to use calc(1em - 4px) because this puts the 8px tall image in the vertical middle of a standard 1em font line. You can use top or another basic unit as a fallback for older browsers.
ul.bg-img li {
    ...
    background-position: left top;
    background-position: left calc(0.5em - 4px);
    ...
}

Next, you should adjust for elements whose font-size is larger than 1em. You can do this at least two ways:

*

*Adjust for larger font-size elements that may appear on the first line by shifting their position up and applying a corresponding negative bottom margin.

Uganda Gay Death Bill Denounced In U.K. Demo
adminDecember 11,2009
[Global: Africa]
Outrage against the now shelved Uganda proposed Bill calling for the death penalty for homosexuals continues with protests in London yesterday.
Uganda's parliament was considering the Bill which would make "serial homosexual" acts punishable by execution. People who failed to "out" homosexuals to the authorities were to also be punished with three years imprisonment under the proposed law. Ugandans who live abroad, who broke the anti-homosexuality laws were to be subject to extradition requests.
The Bill was sponsored by a lawmaker from Yoweri Museveni's ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), bringing swift condemnation from around the world with donor countries threatening a cutoff of aid to the government there.
Yesterday, more than 100 activists converged on the East African country's High Commission, which is the equivalent of an embassy, in London.
The Bill was backed by many religious leaders --Muslim and Christian-- in the socially conservative country where a recent poll found the vast majority opposed to legalizing homosexuality.
Critics contend that corrupt government officials, who routinely embezzle millions of dollars from the public coffers, were more deserving of the harsh sentences being considered for homosexuals. Human rights campaigners say the Uganda government was promoting witch-hunts.
The London demonstration was organized by the Gay Activists Alliance International (GAAI), with the support of Gay Uganda, Sexual Minorities Uganda and OutRage!
Ugandan John Bosco Nyombi, a gay Ugandan, denounced the measures. Nyombi previously was forcefully returned to Uganda from the U.K. and was jailed while in Uganda. He recently was granted asylum in the U.K.
He said the Anti-Homosexuality Bill was "an attack on the civil liberties of all Ugandan," denouncing it as "dividing Ugandans against each other and requiring people to report on their own family members who are gay."
"In the last five years we have seen Idi Amin returning to Uganda and his name is Yoweri Museveni," he said. "We cannot allow fascism to return to Uganda. He should leave power and go because he is not taking the country anywhere but to disaster."
A known well activist, Peter Tatchell, of Outrage! who once tried to serve an arrest warrant on Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe while he was in London, said: "President Museveni is fast becoming the Robert Mugabe of Uganda and that's a threat to the civil rights of every Ugandan person-gay or straight." He added: "Even people who say they're against homosexuality say this Bill is excessive and a threat to human rights of all Ugandans."
The London protests included LGBTI activists from the UK and of Jamaican descent, plus LGBTI campaigners from Uganda, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Cameroon, Nigeria, the Congo and Kenya.

Westword: How did you become this sort of subversive filmmaker?
Ti West: I can't see when I'm doing something subversive. You know what I mean? It's like hearing your voice on tape. You hear it and you go "I don't sound like that" and then you just realize, "oh, I do." I think there's a part of filmmaking that's that way. I know making genre movies I don't want to be derivative of other movies, so I do make an effort to try to stay one step ahead of a very postmodern audience these days, so there's an element of playing with convention, but for the most part I'm just making movies the way it makes sense to me, and then, you know, people have given me these sort of labels as doing such, but I'm just doing my thing.
The Innkeepers has considerably more humor than your four other feature films. How does the humor work in the movie?
I wanted to make a charming ghost story about minimum wage jobs. It was an effort for me to try to make these charming, relatable characters, and humor was the way to do that. I don't really see myself as a funny person, but I like comedy, so I wanted to challenge myself. But the real reason for it was just, that lifestyle -- being stuck at work -- you entertain yourself by being funny. If I could make these characters funny, then you would like them, and then when it got scary, you would get scared, because you were nervous for them, because they were likeable and relatable, and that was really the goal behind it.
You also have these modern slacker-type characters that you've put in this old-fashioned ghost or haunted-house story. That kind of contrast creates this interesting dynamic tension and ultimately makes the movie more frightening as it plays out. Can you tell us more about that?
The goal was to have you fall in love with these people and then put them through some sort of horrible situation so that you can put yourself in their place. I just thought I'm just qualified to direct movies or be a busboy. I don't know how to do anything else. I can either do a minimum-wage job or make my own movies. I don't want to go back to doing minimum-wage jobs, but I have a fondness for having done that, and I wanted to create that vibe of being stuck at work and having that kind of apathy. I thought it related itself in a weird, ironic way. These people are stuck in this hotel at work, and the ghosts are stuck there as ghosts. So I thought that was interesting for me to see how they were connected, but also see how the minimum-wage job people aren't equipped to deal with ghosts like normal movie characters.
You use these long takes some people have called the "slow burn" that kind of comes out of '60s horror. Can you comment on that?
Here's the thing about that: it's just the way it makes sense to me, but I think I just have an old-fashioned aesthetic. I don't go to the movies for escapism, nor do I make movies that way, so to me, it's kind of the more suspense-driven approach. That's the way I look at the genre. And I like long takes. I think there's a sense of build to it, and I just think that if the acting is good in long takes, you know that means the acting is really good, because it's not the editor saving them.
You've described your films as appealing to a "postmodern horror audience" that's really gotten inside and deconstructed the genre. How does your film play to them?
It's polarizing. It's polarizing to everybody. I think there are a few types of crowds out there. There're ones who generally go see everything, which is great, and they've very supportive. There's the kind that want conflict, or titillation from things, and generally that means violence. I don't really have the goods for them a lot of the time. Then there're people who love the genre, and they love the experimental nature of the horror film genre, and love the metaphorical angle, and they just want to see more in these movies, and I appeal to that audience, but I also appeal to the crowd of people who don't watch horror movies.
I always have a situation where people say: "Oh, I won't ever see it. I don't watch horror movies."
And it's like, why? Those are some of the scariest, most famed horror movies of all time. But the problem is, people nowadays associate all of it with just lowest-common-denominator violence. A lot of people like horror movies, they're just put off by the current trends.
Can you tell us anything about your forthcoming projects The ABCs of Death or The Side Effect?
I've shot The ABCs of Death and delivered it. I don't know when it's going to come out, probably a little while from now. There're a lot of filmmakers [involved with it]. It's a good group of people making this sort of weird, bizarre anthology. The Side Effect, we just cast Liv Tyler, and hopefully after Berlin we'll get ready to start filming.

Gautieria graveolens is a species of hypogeal fungus in the family Gomphaceae.

I can wind my poor old mill up to 2000 rpm but I can't say it enjoys it. Ten times that is cloud cuckoo land. The best I can offer in my comfort zone for a long cut is 1200 rpm.
Too slow a feed rate invites chatter, I think the tool rounds out the cut entry, rubs for a few teeth then suddenly takes a biggy so vibration can set in. Too fast and the tool will bend leaving an unremoveable excess. Have to do some test pocketing.
Gut says rough it out to 0.25mm under with a 3mm cutter, then finish with the 1mm and a feed rate of 1 mm/second giving a cut depth of 25 microns per tooth. When it reaches a 3mm corner the tool will suddenly start removing 0.45 rather than 0.25, so probably best to get in a good supply of votive candles.
I will spiral down on the finishing pass so there are no plunges to leave marks.
There's a 2 degree draft angle. I can either use a 2 degree tool and let it rub, which could introduce chatter, or use a ball nose and accept a scallop. A 0.25mm descent per lap would leave a 12 micron scallop which is right on the tolerance of the machine and hopefully easy to polish out.
That's interesting...I'm pretty sure we both have the same milling machine (I posted a picture of mine recently in my build log) and I've had mine on the maximum, 2150rpm iirc, for the past few months! So am I damaging the machine, or are the bearings in mine better (it's not overly noisy)?
Where are you getting these small cutters out of interest? Why do you need such a small cutter...it must be a REALLY fine mould?
2 flute is more rigid than 3 flute so easier to find in small sizes.
Drill Service have slot drills in silly sizes and good prices. I have to start somewhere in my quest, might as well be budget tooling. They may be crap, I'll let you know.
Also sampling their small fishtail point slot drills, never tried fishtail, sounds like a way around the centre cutting scrape line.
I did put the mill on top speed once and started winding the spindle up towards 4000 rpm but chickened out at around 3000. It could probably do it, but not in my comfort zone for a long haul, I am not very brave. Besides, the faster you spin them the faster they wear out.
Why do you need such a small cutter...it must be a REALLY fine mould?
Not really, I'm trying to recreate a couple of moulds I already have that are showing signs of wear. I don't want to spark erode 90 degree corners and a 0.5mm radius looks like a credible approximation on the drawings. I can hand grind 0.5 to square if it looks naff but I'd rather not.
I use a lot of these disposables for drilling http://www.mscjlindustrial.co.uk/CGI/INPDFF?PMCTLG=13 Page 9 FC3 Hertel longs cheap £2.2 each region and last surprisingly well compared to more expensive 6 to £7 ones up to 6mm.
1mm scary but used to use the 1.5mm longs ground away at shank on Dickson round action tumblers, Robin will know what i mean tool steels.
Robin will know what i mean tool steels.
If you think 1mm is scary, howabout this in 1.2mm?
They rang me yesterday to see if I wanted any, I am sure she said something like £1.80 each any size from 1mm-6mm.
Effectively stub length rib cutters at around the £15-£25 mark, about half normal price, conventional or ball nose.

Canada's Bioscience Employers Recognized for Their Commitment to Diversity
Share this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShare this on LinkedIn
OTTAWA, January 18, 2023 – BioTalent Canada today announced the recipients of its inaugural I.D.E.A.L. Bioscience Employer™ designation.
The I.D.E.A.L. Recognition Program recognizes organizations in the Canadian bio-economy who embody the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility leadership (IDEAL), as best practices needed to promote growth and success in the biotech sector.
The program was launched earlier this year and BioTalent Canada received applications from organizations large and small across the country. After careful evaluation of all applications received through an impartial evaluation, nine recipients were selected to receive the I.D.E.A.L. Bioscience Employer designation.
"Diversity is critical to attract and retain talent in Canada and is a key strategy cited in our Labour Market Research, particularly in our study of creating resiliency in the bio-economy in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic," says Rob Henderson, President and CEO of BioTalent Canada. "We developed the I.D.E.A.L. Bioscience Employer Recognition Program as the culmination of a study we conducted in partnership with the Future Skills Centre to showcase some of the great things happening and what's possible when organizations make equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility a priority."
The research project conducted by BioTalent Canada and funded in part by the Future Skills Centre examined best practices of Canadian bioscience companies to enhance their talent acquisition and retention efforts in stressful times.
"We know that the biotech sector will need to attract and retain many skilled and talented people to its future workforce," says Pedro Barata, Executive Director of the Future Skills Centre (FSC). "This program recognizes employers' efforts to foster an inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible labour market, which is what Canada will need to ensure maximum participation in our economy for growth and prosperity. It's a great example of the kinds of programs FSC is supporting to reach a wider talent pool so that workers, employers and industries can adapt and thrive in the economy of the future."
Criteria used to evaluate the submissions included an organization's alignment of IDEA principles to their vision, values, strategies, and outcomes; leadership accountability for IDEA; and the priority the organization places on IDEA learning and awareness, among others.
Recipients of the 2022 I.D.E.A.L. Bioscience Employer Recognition Program include the following organizations (listed alphabetically):
AgriTech North: This organization based in Dryden, Ontario focuses on reducing food costs in northern Indigenous communities, holds daily discussions and learnings on IDEA topics, and is led by a chief executive who is Indigenous and differently abled.
BioCanRx: This cancer researcher headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario has made a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at its gender balanced board of directors. Additionally, BioCanRx runs an Indigenous Student Internship program and includes patient voices in all its research findings.
Health Cities: The Edmonton-based company is focused on providing health data to decision makers in Alberta. Health Cities promotes equity in healthcare and provides internships and apprenticeships for under-represented groups in the bio-economy. They also focus strongly on employee mental health.
Life Sciences Ontario (LSO): A Toronto not-for-profit that advances Ontario life sciences, LSO runs an internal/external committee focused on inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility leadership, and incorporates those principles into its strategic planning. The committee is comprised of members of the LSO board and external experts in IDEA.
Nicotine Dependence Service (CAMH): The Nicotine Dependence Service at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto includes IDEA principles in its organizational charter. It also puts IDEA principles at the centre of the programs it offers to the public and consults with staff to develop their culture and values.
Origin Materials: This carbon negative materials company based in Sarnia, Ontario is adding IDEA components to its 2023 performance indicators for staff. Additionally, the company tracks gender diversity metrics and hired a consulting firm to conduct a survey to measure IDEA as their team grows.
Raft Brew Labs: Situated in Calgary, Alberta, Raft Brew Labs uses biotechnology to bolster small beverage producers in Canada and has created an inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility handbook through one-on-one conversations with team members and offers incentives to increase those principles among employees.
Shift Health: This organization integrates inclusion and diversity into its vision and mission and works with marginalized communities. The Toronto-based group also works to build awareness of the challenges faced by individuals with visual impairments and creates written content that is more accessible.
STEMCELL Technologies: This Vancouver-based maker of scientific instruments has a three-year strategy built around equity, diversity and inclusion. Its main pillars are to focus on gender equality, increasing the representation of underrepresented groups, and investing in Indigenous communities. They also conduct regular audits on their hiring, promotion and pay equity processes.
"Each of these organizations is walking the talk when it comes to IDEA principles," says Henderson. "Incorporating these principles into the workforce and across the bio-economy will be critical to meeting current and future talent needs."

Accelerate Upstate looks north to Canada for New York's economy
WXXI News | By Daniel Robison, WBFO
Buffalo Niagara Enterprise
The two-day Accelerate Upstate conference is being billed as the largest and most significant economic development conference in the recent history of western New York.
http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wned/local-wned-980664.mp3
More than 300 business, political, and community leaders from around the state are gathering in Buffalo today and tomorrow, for the Accelerate Upstate conference.
They're looking to develop the ideas and relationships that will open a new chapter for western New York's economy. But the focus on day one wasn't New York.
It was Canada.
"Canada is open for business"
From a business standpoint, western New Yorkers ignore Canada at their peril, says Kevin Johnson, U.S. Consul General.
"The Canadian dollar is strong, meaning their purchase power is strong. Canadian unemployment is lower because of their welfare state. An unemployed Canadian still has more purchasing power than an unemployed American in many parts of the United States," Johnson says. "I think the single biggest thing is to say that Canada is open for business. It's a place where you can look to invest, to sell and to buy things."
But increased security since September 11th has infamously slowed the traffic at the border.
Johnson says there's an aggressive movement to implement reforms to how both countries handle border crossings, including having Canadian and American officials working together at security points.
"One [solution] is joint facilities. One problem we have on the American side is that the plazas are too small, so it's hard to do inspections. It's hard to expand the plazas because of very congested areas around them. So can we have combined facilities in some places?" Johnson says. "It's a good moment because there's very high trust between the two countries, and that hasn't always been the case."
"People are willing to come"
As the tenth anniversary of September 11th approaches, Canada Consul General Marta Moszczenska says both countries have learned lessons from the past decade. She says time will improve the situation – and economic relationships.
"I only see things improving over the next few years. We have two heads of nations who are totally committed to this initiative. I think they realize that the flow of goods and the flow of people across [the border] creates jobs," Moszczenska says.
Johnson says it's not that the border is as big of a hassle as it's been made out to be - it's that there's a perception that it's a hassle. In fact, he says, studies have shown that border crossers will brave anything if there's something alluring enough waiting for them on the other side.
"You go to a hockey game in Buffalo and 30 percent or more of the fans are from Canada. There are some things for which people are willing to cross that friction," Johnson says. "[If] you've got a good product like the Sabers or whoever they're hosting, people are willing to come."
New York officials focused on "regional" strategy
Both countries are promising reforms to the border process, Johnson says, but those have to clear bureaucratic hurdles, which tend to side with promoting security over openness. The more porous the border, he says, the better future for western New York's economy.
But as things are now, state officials could do a better job to promoting economic partnerships between businesses from the two neighbors, Moszczenska says. The state's top economic development official, Ken Adams has largely ignored Canada during his tenure, she says.
"Governor Cuomo and Ken Adams have a certain priority. They're trying to make sure their objectives and deadlines are met in terms of developing regional economic development strategies. Part of those strategies I do hope, and I'm pretty sure we'll be able to convince them to look at some economic activities with Canada. But right now the focus for Ken Adams and his group is New York State," Moszczenska says.
That regional proximity is a strength, according to Johnson. He says the Canadian economy is stronger than that of the United States, and that the rest of America can't tap into that resource as easily as western New York can.
"Many business people never think of exporting and don't think of Canada as an important market. They've been used to having a very robust U.S. market. Traditionally the U.S. economy has had lower unemployment than Canada. And they're not recognizing that, at a time when we're having very serious economic problems in the United States, Canada is doing well."
Johnson will have an opportunity to transmit that message Friday: at the end of the summit tomorrow, an action agenda will be delivered to elected officials in Albany and Washington.
