At West Tuality Habitat for Humanity, we know that a family should never have to spend more than 30 percent of their income on a home. But consider that today nearly 19 million U.S. households pay half or more of their income on a place to live.
That means that 1 in 6 families are denied the personal economic stability that safe, decent, and affordable housing provides. Instead 1 in 6 families are forced to make impossible choices.
Safe homes. Nutritious food on the table. Health care. Access to good schools. Reliable transportation.
a national advocacy campaign
Building on our strong record of advocacy achievements throughout the U.S. and on the unparalleled reputation of Habitat's network of over 1,200 U.S. affiliates, Habitat is engaging housing advocates; Habitat homeowners, volunteers and supporters; federal, state, and local policymakers to advance access to safe, decent and affordable homes.
Over the next five years, we commit to mobilizing local Habitat organizations, our partners, our volunteers and community members across the country to find the solutions and help create the policies that will allow 10 million individuals to meet their most basic needs.

Campaign Sub-Themes
Increasing Supply and Preservation of Affordable Home
Equitably Increasing Access to Credit
Optimizing Land Use for Affordable Homes
Ensuring Access to and Development of Communities of Opportunity
Today, nearly 19 million households in the U.S. are paying half or more of their income on housing. That means 1 in 6 families are denied the personal and economic stability that safe, decent and affordable housing provides. Instead, 1 in 6 families are forced to make impossible choices.
That's why Habitat for Humanity has launched the Cost of Home campaign. Over the next five years, we commit to mobilizing individuals across the country to find the solutions and help create the policies at the local, state and federal levels that will improve home affordability for 10 million people. And we know we can't do this alone.
Your voice has influence. By sharing your support of the need for home affordability to policymakers at all levels of government, you are helping us make the #CostOfHome something we all can afford.
Use Your Voice Now
Use #CostofHome on social media to spread the word on our campaign.
West Tuality Habitat for Humanity does not take "positions" on proposed legislation or policies except for those that directly relate to the accessibility of affordable housing, and which have been endorsed by Habitat for Humanity of Oregon or Habitat for Humanity International. In general, we support any and all efforts that make affordable housing available across all segments of society, that promote housing stability, that close the "ownership gap" for minorities, that promote mixed-income communities, and that serve to make access to housing a matter of conscience for persons everywhere.

More than just a place to stand while you're showering, your shower floor influences the overall look and feel of your bathroom. The material you choose should not only be durable, comfortable, and slip resistant, it should also suit the aesthetic of your bathroom decor. No matter what your needs and preferences, there's a shower floor that fits.
One of the simplest and most affordable shower floor options is a pre-fabricated shower base made of synthetic material. These consist of one solid piece that's set into place as-is. There are no grout joints that could crack and leak, so they're easy to maintain.
On the downside, they're manufactured in a limited range of standard shapes and sizes. That means they can only be used in showers built to common standards and you can't move the drain if you don't like where it is.
Cracks and chips can be repaired by a specialist, but if this type of floor develops a leak, it can't be repaired like a tile floor and will have to be replaced.
Fiberglass bases are usually the cheapest, so they're a common sight in bathrooms around the country. They're not particularly durable and tend to yellow or crack.
Acrylic shower floors don't look much different from fiberglass models when new. The difference is that acrylic models are protected by an acrylic coating, which makes the floor easier to clean and helps it resist yellowing, cracking, and mildew growth.
These floors retain heat better than fiberglass and stay warm to the touch, so you won't have to step onto a cold shower floor in the morning. Like fiberglass, they're relatively light, which makes them easy to install.
Available in a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and finishes, stone and tile let you give your creativity free rein. If you prefer a consistent look instead, use the same material for your shower floor as you did for the rest of your bathroom floor.
After fiberglass and acrylic, stone resin is the most popular material for shower flooring. Stone resin shower bases are made from a mixture of crushed natural stone and a resin-based adhesive. This mixture is molded, then coated with acrylic or finished with marble, granite or another stone.
Like acrylic, stone resin floors are warm to the touch. While these floors are more durable than acrylic models, they're also heavier and therefore somewhat more difficult to install.
If you prefer the look of tile, ceramic and porcelain are your two main options. Ceramic costs less and is lighter than porcelain. Porcelain, a type of ceramic, is more durable and dries faster. The only problem is that it doesn't retain heat well, making it chilly underfoot.
Large tiles require fewer grout joints, which makes it easier to keep the shower clean. Mosaic tiles are a little harder to maintain thanks to the many joints between these tiny tiles, but they give you much greater flexibility in terms of color and design. They're also easier to install along the slope of the shower pan.
If you settle on tile, you have two options for installation. One is the old-fashion mud bed installation. This involves building a shower pan base by applying mortar with a trowel and then laying the tiles in the mortar. This kind of handcrafted shower floor adds a touch of individuality your bathroom. Alternatively, save time by installing a one-piece shower base that's pre-sloped, waterproofed, and ready for tile.
Natural stone always adds a sense of luxury and, like tile, it lets you create a unique look. Almost any natural stone can be used for a shower floor as long as the stone is properly sealed. Good choices include marble, granite, onyx, travertine, and sandstone.
Large, flat stones aren't your only option. Pebbles, including river stones and glass pebbles, bring a dash of color and variety to your shower. Just be aware that pebble floors involve a lot of grout and, if the surface is uneven, they can be somewhat uncomfortable to stand on.
A long-time favorite, a cast iron shower floor will lend your bathroom a vintage look, so it's perfectly suited to rustic or country farmhouse decor. Cast iron costs less than tile and it's so durable you'll probably decide to remodel your bathroom before the shower floor wears out.
While it's easy to maintain, care is needed because the porcelain enamel surface can become scratched or worn if you clean too aggressively. If the surface is damaged, the cast iron underneath can begin to rust. The main drawback of these floors is that they're cold, which can be a bit of a shock when you first step in.
It's probably not the first material you'd consider for a shower floor, but wood slats in the shower can subtly upgrade the look of your whole bathroom. Depending on the design and wood you use, a wood floor can create the ambiance of a high-end spa or the coziness of a rustic cabin.
In these designs, wood slats sit atop a standard shower floor, allowing water to trickle down through the slats into the shower pan. This way, you won't even see the drain. There's less splashing, so you can forego the shower door to save space or give your bathroom a more open and airy feel. While wood slats aren't as durable as other shower floor surfaces, they're easy to repair.
The woods best suited to use in the shower are those from moist, tropical climates. On the pricier end you can choose from teak, ipe, and massaranduba, but cedar, redwood, mahogany are good budget-friendly options.
With so many shower floor options available, it can take some time to narrow your choices down to the one that best meets your requirements in terms of durability, maintenance level, and aesthetics. Instead of heading right to a warehouse store, stop into a few specialty stores first. The sales staff in these stores are well informed on the subtle differences between different flooring materials and can help you make an educated choice.

A season of joy -- and caution -- kicks off in New Orleans
1 year 3 weeks 5 days ago Thursday, January 06 2022 Jan 6, 2022 January 06, 2022 10:10 AM January 06, 2022 in News
File photo from Feb. 4, 2018
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Vaccinated, masked and ready-to-revel New Orleans residents will usher in Carnival season Thursday with a rolling party on the city's historic streetcar line, an annual march honoring Joan of Arc in the French Quarter and a collective, wary eye on coronavirus statistics.
Carnival officially begins each year on Jan. 6 — the 12th day after Christmas — and, usually, comes to a raucous climax on Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, which falls on March 1 this year. Thursday's planned festivities come two years after a successful Mardi Gras became what officials later realized was an early Southern superspreader of COVID-19; and nearly a year after city officials, fearing more death and more stress on local hospitals, canceled parades and restricted access to the usually raucous Bourbon Street.
This year, the party is slated to go on despite rapidly rising COVID-19 cases driven by the omicron variant.
In what has become a traditional kickoff to the season, the Phunny Phorty Phellows will gather at a cavernous streetcar barn and board one of the historic St. Charles line cars along with a small brass band. Vaccinations were required in keeping with city regulations and seating on the streetcar was to be limited and spaced. And, in addition to the traditional over-the-eye costume masks, riders were equipped with face coverings to prevent viral spread.
Larger, more opulent parades will follow in February as Mardi Gras nears and the city attempts to leaven the season's joy with caution.
"It was certainly the right thing to do to cancel last year," said Dr. Susan Hassig, a Tulane University epidemiologist who also is a member of the Krewe of Muses, and who rides each year on a huge float in the Muses parade. "We didn't have vaccines. There was raging and very serious illness all over the place."
Now, she notes, the vaccination rate is high in New Orleans. While only about 65% of the total city population is fully vaccinated, according the city's statistics, 81% of all adults are fully vaccinated. And the overall percentage is expected to increase now that eligibility is open to younger children.
And, while people from outside the city are a big part of Mardi Gras crowds, Mayor LaToya Cantrell's anti-virus measures include proof of vaccination or a negative test for most venues. "The mayor has instituted a vaccine requirement and/or negative test to get into all the fun things to do in New Orleans — the food, the music," said Hassig. She adds, however, that she'd like to see a federal requirement that air travelers be vaccinated.
Sharing Hassig's cautious optimism is Elroy James, president of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a predominantly Black organization whose Mardi Gras morning parade is a focal point of Carnival. Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 was blamed for the death of at least 17 of Zulu's members. Compounding the tragedy: Restrictions on public gatherings meant no traditional jazz funeral sendoff for the dead.

Q: Needed small explanation of the notation in this paper There is this paper: http://digital.csic.es/bitstream/10261/43192/1/p6374_1.pdf
In equation (36) of this, the second line ($\omega^{+ij} =\dots$), there is a term $\partial_{[i}\bar\lambda\delta_{j\,]k}$ that I didn't understand. What does this notation mean?

In the post-war years, Jack Castello (David Corenswet) is having trouble getting work as an extra at Hollywood's Ace Studios.
Desperate for money, he accepts work at a car garage, run by Ernie West (Dylan McDermott), as a front for an escort business.
Married, with twins on the way, he feels uncomfortable about the work, but with one of his regular clients being Avis Amberg (Patti LuPone), the wife of the studio owner (Rob Reiner), he sees a way of getting into the movie business through the back door.
Jack is even more uncomfortable when Ernie asks him to serve men too, so he heads to a gay cinema to find someone who might like to take those jobs; it turns out that Archie Coleman (Jeremy Pope) is a screenwriter, who already has a script in development at Ace Studios.
Before long, Jack finds himself in line for a role in Archie's film, but when the director Raymond Ainsley (Darren Criss) wants to tweak the script to cast his black girlfriend Camille Washington (Laura Harrier) in the lead, the whole project is thrown into doubt.
Is 1940s Hollywood – and the world beyond – ready for a film about a black woman.
Over seven episodes, Ryan Murphy – the creator of shows including Glee and Pose – delivers a glimpse into the workings of the Golden Age of Hollywood but with a twist – a liberal twist.
This series imposes 21st Century sensibilities on 1940s Hollywood, acknowledging that a large proportion of those working in the industry are gay and that black people are worthy of more than just playing servants – and shouting it from the rooftops.
With a central cast little known outside Murphy's own productions, there's a freshness to the show, with every one of the lead characters proving to be likeable and easy to root for.
And with so many of the supporting players being big names in their own right, even the sleasy underbelly of show-biz turns out to be unexpectedly cuddly; Jim Parsons, Dylan McDermott, Rob Reiner, Patti LuPone and Oscar winner Mira Sorvino are among the industry veterans who bring Ryan Murphy's progressive fantasy to life.
It's an enjoyable show – which works well enough as a drama, with suitable tension, as doubts are raised about whether the project at its heart will go ahead. But the central conceit never quite feels convincing; you can imagine a world where a studio might have wanted to give a break to a talented black actress, but surely it would find her an appropriate vehicle, rather than re-writing a real-life story about a white woman – there's more than one script floating around town at any one time. And the final episode flips a little too far from liberal fantasy to worthy fairytale.
It's also possible that some viewers might be left with a slightly sour after-taste, with the presentation of Rob Reiner's studio boss and Jim Parsons's sleazy agent as well-meaning, cuddly and ripe for rehabilitation in a way that many wouldn't extend to real-life bullies and sex abusers, such as Harvey Weinstein.
In addition to a couple of initially unsavoury characters, in Murphy's version of 1940s Hollywood, the biggest antagonist seems to be the conservative public – audiences who protest outside the studio at the thought of a black lead in a film. It's a brave producer who – in a sense – casts potential viewers (or at least those who don't share his outlook) as the villains.
Hollywood presents a slightly uncomfortable contradiction – a Hollywood that's more welcoming of diversity but more forgiving of bullies.

Bone Broth: In recent years bone broth has become one in a long line of health food trends but this one is no fad. As a children if we showed the slightest tickly throat or snotty nose our gran would arrive with a steaming pan of homemade chicken soup (with added pearl barley- to die for) to make us feel better. I grew up thinking this woman had some godly healing powers. However science has now taught us that Granny was not quite the omnipotent healer we thought and that actually bone broth is just the perfect medicine and immune booster. Bone broth is rich in magnesium, phosphorus and Sulphur as well as being very high in amino acids. All of the components combine to help build and support our immune system. And it is so easy to make. I now (much to my husband's glee) make a roast every Sunday, mainly so I can have bone broth through the week. After carving all the meat I pop the bones in my slow cooker with enough water to cover the bones completely, add a generous splash of cider vinegar (which helps extract the minerals from the bones) a few bay leaves, a couple of chopped onions and cloves of garlic, any leftover veg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Leave to stew for at least 12 hours before siving the bones out. I then either drink as it is or add veg and leftover chicken to make a more hearty soup. You should be aiming to have 3 portions of bone broth per week.
Garlic: Most people hear garlic and think bad breath. They don't always think cold-fighting superpowers, but they should. Garlic contains high levels of sulfuric compounds like allicin. In order to get the most allicin from your garlic you really should be eating it raw- chop small, pill-sized pieces and swallow whole, because you aren't chewing it you won't get the same bad breath. However, if date night is looming and you daren't risk it you can buy allicin tablets too which are a great way to boost your immune system throughout winter.
Broccoli: Now we know that broccoli is good for us but did you know that it is also an incredibly effective immune booster? Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable which means it helps detox the body, keeping your liver working efficiently- which let's be honest around the festive period is no bad thing! It is also exceptionally high in vitamin C. You should be eating at least 2 portions of broccoli per week during winter, though we would recommend doing that all year round, you will thank us one day!!
Vitamin D: Vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin" controls the amount of calcium and phosphorus in your body. It is a fat-soluble vitamin and it is stored all around the body. It keeps your bones, muscles and teeth healthy, along with your heart and nerves. However our Great British weather makes getting enough Vitamin D difficult even in summer and very challenging in winter. Taking a daily vitamin D supplement can help your body absorb all the other nutrients it needs and keep you in tip-top condition throughout winter. And when the sun does shine on those perfect, crisp winter days GET OUTSIDE!! Wrap up warm and go and enjoy it, let the winter sun shine on your face and embrace the fresh country air, it is THE best medicine.
KEFIR: You knew this was coming right?? A daily dose of probiotics is the best defense against illness. So make sure you have a daily cup of Yorlife kefir, be it in a smoothie, on your granola or just on its own, give your immune system a fighting start.
So go and enjoy the festive season safe in the knowledge that Yorlife has your back! You can find some of our other gut-healthy recipes here.

R.I.P. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger Says He's 'Devastated' Over Franco Columbu's Death
Aug 30, 2019 at 18:54 pm UTC / Last Updated at Aug 30, 2019 at 19:08 pm UTC By Whitney Vasquez
Arnold Schwarzenegger is mourning the loss of his best friend and saying goodbye in a tearful tribute.
The actor poured his heart out sharing with fans the special bond he had with former Mr. Olympia, Franco Columbu, on Friday.
Columbu was a longtime friend of Schwarzenegger's and they even appeared together in the bodybuilding classic documentary, "Pumping Iron," back in 1977.

"You've heard me say that I don't like when people call me a self-made man. You've even heard me say that you're part of the reason I could never accept that label," he started the tribute.
"But I wanted you to know why. From the minute we met in Munich, you were my partner in crime. We pushed each other, we competed with each other, and we laughed at every moment along the way."
Sharing a collection of photos from their adventures over the years, Schwarzenegger says he thrived best with Franco by his side.
"When I finally got to America, I was alone. I'd left my family, my country, my whole life behind. So when I asked Joe Weider to bring you to train with me, it was because I knew I wasn't the same without my best friend," he wrote.
"I could thrive without money, without my parents, but I couldn't thrive without you."
The former California governor says he's "devastated" over the news of his passing, but "so, so grateful for the 54 years of friendship and joy we shared."
Remembering everything from chess games, meals and life lessons, Schwarzenegger said, "we did it all together."
Adding, "My life was more fun, more colorful, and more complete because of you."

Schwarzenegger also promised he'll be there for Franco's family.
"I love you Franco. I will always remember the joy you brought to my life, the advices you gave me, and the twinkle in your eye that never disappeared. You were my best friend," the actor ended his post.

An ET from another galaxy is regularly witnessed at Whitewater State Park Lake Dam very late at night looking at the vista.
The alien technician of an alien spacecraft is known to have been perceived on a handful of occasions fishing from the water's edge of Whitewater Lake on a dark night.
A very large gazelle can be witnessed very often in a Liberty house.
The spirit of a young air force pilot has once in a while been perceived showing up in a bedroom mirror. Folks here who have observed this phantom allege this phantom is that of a local person who existed here in Liberty long ago.
An martian voyager from another world is occasionally perceived in Bath Creek pointing at the eye witness.
A lady with a blue face has been made out on a handful of instances seated on the floor in a residence near Liberty. One thing's for certain, it's a menacing ghost that should be let alone.

For the first time in 12 years, the tight unity among Italy's trade unions has come unglued. Italy has been plagued with Communist-led strikes, culminating in a general strike March 24. The strikes, instigated by the Communist-backed Confederation of Italian Workers, are to protest the Socialist government's attempt to stall inflation by modifying workers' wages.
In an effort to bring inflation down from 16 percent to 10 percent, Socialist Premier Bettino Craxi has tried to decrease workers' pay raises.
Under the current system, worker salaries are kept in line with inflation according to ''wage-indexing points.'' The government proposes reducing salary increases from 12 points to nine points annually. This would mean a decrease in salaries, after accounting for inflation.
The controversy has ended 12 years of unity in Italy's trade-union federation composed of the Christian Democrat-backed Social Confederation of Italian Workers (CISL), the Socialist Union of Italian Workers (UIL), and the Communist-supported Confederation of Italian Workers (CGIL), which has a minority Socialist faction.
The discussion about wage indexing has put the CGIL - which vehemently opposes government attempts to change the wage system - in opposition to its own Socialist minority as well as the two other unions.
''How can a union not be weak when it has experienced three years of zero growth in the economy - and therefore for three years has had nothing to distribute?'' asked the deputy leader of the CGIL, Ottavio Del Turco.
Mr. Del Turco favored at least negotiations before declaring open war on the government. But once the prospect of a union split was unavoidable, he joined his boss, CGIL General Secretary Luciano Lama, in decisive opposition to the government line.
Most observers say that the unions' conduct and therefore their eventual split was due to political rather than socially oriented moves in recent years.
Although the measures are virtually in effect, they are still under heated discussion in Parliament. The deadline for parliamentary approval is March 22, but it is unlikely that any accord will be reached before then. In sometimes uproarious parliamentary debate, Communist deputies have introduced some 280 amendments to the bill.

Q: Associate Dialog's Item on click I create a Dialog after the App'sUser click on the Button, so my problem is:
I Have my mini Dialog-menu with two elements "Lux" and "Vigor".
I want to associate different function for Lux and Vigor,
It's possible? How I have to do?
My big problem is identify the event "Click on Lux or Vigor"
Thanks for your time,
Kings regards
I post my code:
 private final static int BUTTON_DIOALOG = 2;
 final CharSequence[] items ={"Lux", "Vigor"};

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    ImageButton immG = (ImageButton)this.findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
    immG.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
 MainActivity.this.showDialog(BUTTON_DIOALOG);
        }
    });

}
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(final int id) {
    Dialog dialog = null;
    AlertDialog.Builder builder =new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
switch (id){
case  BUTTON_DIOALOG:
 builder.setTitle("scegli cosa").setItems(items, new
 DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
 {

@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

        }
    });
}
return dialog;
}}

A: You can do like this:
final Context ctx = this;
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
dialog.setIcon(icon);
dialog.setTitle("");
dialog.setMessage("");
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "LUX", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int buttonId) {

    }
});
dialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE, "Vigor", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int buttonId) {
    }
});
dialog.show();

A: The parameter "which" in the callback tells you which button you clicked...
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    final CharSequence[] items ={"Lux", "Vigor"};
    builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, items[which], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    });
    builder.create().show();

Policy Matters: The Drug War Must (and It Can) End The decades-old "drug war" inaugurated under Richard Nixon has been a complete and utter social calamity. Originally riding a blunt conservative backlash against the 1960s "permissive hippie culture," it has ruined millions of lives, injected a pretext for the massive incarceration of minorities and people of limited economic means (thereby creating a thriving prison industry).

The legalised murder of Cecil the Lion The murder of Cecil the Lion by an American dentist who fancies himself a big trophy hunter has provoked a justifiable storm of revulsion and condemnation. But there's more to this issue than just that.

"Russian aggression"--CBS provides a perfect example of imperial disinformation The American disinformation machine has been working double shift for some time now to demonize Russia, but the threat of war comes from NATO and its Frankenstein, Ukraine, and Washington's constant warmongering against Russia right on her doorstep.

Bill Maher's flaccid denunciation of corporate news Bill Maher's satire and criticism of Brian Williams and network news quickly dissolves into superficial commentary, ignoring the real crimes of the corporate media as shills for the empire.

Et Tu, Frontline? Frontline joins the pack of anti-Russian demonizers with this transparently dishonest piece of journalism that far from presenting a reliable portrait of President Putin injects the viewer with a multitude of prejudices guaranteeing his or her condemnation of the Russian leader.

Malaysian liner down--cui bono? The American media is already accusing Russia and the Ukrainian rebels for the shooting down of the Malaysian airliner, and the mass public is likely to buy into that view of events. But this incident is just beginning to show its ultimate truth and we should look at the event in broader terms.

Plutocracy detests a well informed public (duh!) Total media control by the corporate rich has utterly corrupted the nation's political system and now stands as its chief obstacle to reform.

American PR War Against Russia and China Accelerating in Asia An interview with Andre Vltchek on the American effort to propagandize Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, and other nations in the Far East against China. The US is also--as usual--actively promoting an arms race in the region and pushing Japan to rearm, a move with grave consequences.

Texas in Drought: When religiosity trumps science (and there's hell to pay) Texas is one of the biggest and most influential states in the Union, but it's also one of the most corrupt and backward in its political and social culture. Texas is now paying the price for this barbarism as it faces a massive drought and yet continues to deny the reality of climate change and its effects as a result of human actions.

Abby Martin & Cenk Uygur discuss corporate censorship, sort of Was RT's Abby Martin right in attacking Putin's policies in the Ukraine and especially the Crimea? The author thinks not, and explains why Martin's actions, while not the same as Liz Wahl's opportunistic denunciation of Moscow's position, also demands that we look at her criticism of the American and Russian media system as a "plague on both your houses" may not be an apt equivalence at all.

American propaganda stokes the fire of Ukrainian disintegration Manufacturing opposition movements appears to be the latest destabilization technique being employed by the West to topple any "inconvenient" regime with independent ideas. While not exactly a new technique , it has been polished into an art for a 21st Century deployment.

Media Annals: Trotting out human filth and criminals as opinion shapers The destruction of the power of the corporate media should be a top priority for real progressives in the US and around the world. Bold creativity must be exercised to discredit, circumvent and eventually bury the monstrous power of US-style propaganda. It's either that, or the death of the world as we know it.

NBC's "The New Normal" is abnormally unfunny Despite the promotional noise, NBC's new show "The New Normal" is hopelessly unfunny. Weighted down with tedious clichés and unrelenting frivolity it may actually harm the image of gay people.

SEAL sniper killed--not exactly an eulogy Like most of today's Death Star troopers serving the American juggernaut, Chris Kyle, "America's deadliest sniper," never understood what he was doing overseas. Soaked from the cradle in the chauvinist Texas cultural DNA, he was thoroughly indoctrinated to believe in all the dense mythologies comprising the self-righteous national propaganda canon, especially as it relates to foreign adventures.

Beware the corporate media: indispensable midwife to imperial assaults The corporate media shamelessly sold us the Iraq war, Afghanistan, Libya, and is now busy selling us again Syria and soon enough Iran. The question before us is: how do we make them stop?

what hold the gauge in the cup?
Thank you for connecting with us. While we can't comment on a gauge that isn't ours and how it may fit, our mounting cup has a slot at the bottom and the mounting "strap" around the gauge is tightened to the base, which will tighten the cup to the gauge, holding it in place.

Kovair Software will be participating this year for the first time at the Japan IT Week 2017 from November 8 to 10 at Makuhari, Messe at Chiba in Tokyo area (Block no – 12-28, Table no – T3). The event is expected to have more than 650 companies participating as exhibitors and expects to draw over 5000 attendees.
Kovair will have two high level executives attend the event with its CEO & Chairman Mr. Bipin Shah who has done business in Japan in the past and is based in Silicon Valley and its Director of Major Accounts and Partnerships Management Mr. Amit Dasgupta.
Kovair's two flagship products, the Omnibus Integration Platform with its more than 75 multi-function and multi-vendor off the shelf integrations and DevOps product are going to be highlighted at the event. With its major successes with some very large and reputable companies in the US, Europe and India, Kovair is now seeking to expand its business in the Japan market. We will have our presence in the Software Development section of the IT Show.

What do I mean by the title? First let's look at the word grafted or grafting. Grafting is basically a process used in horticulture to fuse together part of one plant, much like a branch, and affix it to the tissues of another. The basis for deciding to do this is for plant propagation.
I have been reading through the book of Romans and in chapter 11 the apostle Paul uses this term to describe to the readers how they, the Gentiles, have come to share in the rich root of Christ.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in. 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith.
By God's grace I, who am a Gentile, have been grafted in to the root system of Christ. Paul is saying that God's chosen, the Jews, have been broken off. They represent the branches that were broken off. They rejected Christ and thus have been broken off. In horticulture, the plant to be selected to sustain the branches to be grafted in is selected because of its rich root system. The other plant or branch to be grafted in is selected for its stem, leaves, or fruit. Paul is using this analogy which would be understood by those in the Roman church. They would understand these terms because many of the members would have been farmers or wine makers.
Praise our Lord for choosing us to be grafted in to the root system of Christ. He alone sustains us, and He has promised to produce fruit through us.
Thanks for this post! It is such a humbling thought, and one we should consider often. Salvation is totally from the Lord – all praise and glory to Him!
Thanks for the comment. It is humbling to understand that salvation is totally from God. I am currently in a dialog with a friend of mine who is of the mind that we are the ones who make the choice. I had sent him the link to the sermon our pastor did on Free Will this past Sunday pm. It was articulated very well. I will post something about the dialog soon.

Q: Unity Tcpclient connect to python socket server only in local but not in AWS(python server) i have python server code like below.
serverSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
serverPort = 5000
serverSocket.bind(('aws ec2 private ip', serverPort))
serverSocket.listen(1)
print('server listening')

clientSocket, addr = serverSocket.accept()
print('Connection from ', addr[0])

...

and i also have c# client code like below.
    public void ConnectToServer()
    {
        try
        {
            clientSocket = new TcpClient();
            clientSocket.Connect("aws ec2 public ip", 5000);
            stream = clientSocket.GetStream();
            Debug.Log("server connected");
        }

        catch (SocketException e)
        {
            Debug.LogError(e);
        }
    }

...

these codes work in local env.
but when i upload python server code on AWS ec2, unity script(in my computer) doesn't work.
it shows error
system.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): Connection refused
at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect (System.String hostname, System.Int32 port) [0x0019d] in <2fe115660d9c47728edff248f3625297>:0
at SocketClient.ConnectToServer () [0x0000b] in ...
So, i test python client code like below.
from socket import *

Host = 'aws ec2 public ip'
Port = 5000

clientSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
clientSocket.connect((Host, Port))

...

And it works... server print 'Connection from "my ip"'
Therefore it's not problem of firewall nor setting on AWS.
What's problem in my unity code...
server(ec2) python version is 3.7.10
unity version is 2021.3.9f1, 2021.3.11f1(i tested both version)
OS Mac Monterey 12.6

A: What is it doing with a "aws ec2 public ip" as a host? That doesn't look like a domain. It is possible that python works differently and you think that c# tcpclients can figure out what that means, but I don't think they can. I could be completely wrong, but I would be surprised if you could host a server on a domain with spaces that you almost certainly don't own.

Silver Introduces "Courtesy" Pricing Bill, Wants a Millionaire Tax
By Brad Aaron
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver introduced a congestion pricing bill yesterday, but was quoted as saying "we have a long way to go" before it clears his chamber.
The Times reports that Silver, introducing the plan "as a courtesy to the new governor," agreed not to "block" it "in exchange for some version of the new tax on anyone making more than $1 million." But some Republican lawmakers who might otherwise support congestion pricing are opposed to the "millionaire tax" (as is Mayor Bloomberg).
And Assembly Democrats were peeved when Governor David Paterson seemed to dismiss the prospect of legislative pay raises in today's Times story, according to the Daily Politics.
One lawmaker deemed it "disingenuous" for the new governor to come around praising Democrats at a time when he needs their support very badly – not the least of which for Mayor Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan – and not mention that he plans to tank something that is of utmost importance to them.
"It puts another chill on enthusiasm for the new governor – beyond all the other letdowns and setbacks we've seen already," the lawmaker said.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver didn't mention the pay raise issue, either, the lawmaker said.
The City Council has yet to pass the home-rule message needed to
place pricing in Albany's hands, though Speaker Christine
Quinn says she is "optimistic" the votes will be there.
