The New Mexico Martin Luther King Jr. State Commission
A New Mexico commission that promotes the philosophies of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. vacated two staff positions on Tuesday and attempted to address recent controversies regarding an open investigation with the state's Attorney General's office.
The New Mexico Martin Luther King, Jr. State Commission, in a public meeting voted to vacate the paid staff positions of Executive Director and Program Director, held by Kimberly Greene and Rosalind Jones, respectively.
Greene, who was not present at the meeting, is currently under investigation by the Attorney General's Office. The commission itself and a contractor is also under investigation. Search warrants provided by the AG's office cite computers, records and email accounts as just some of the things they are looking into. At issue is a budget deficiency within the commission and possible forged documents by Greene.
During a meeting for the state Board of Finance last December, Greene implied that she was coerced by House Minority Whip Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque, to enter into a no-bid contract with eRead, an outside contractor for ACT/SAT program.
In an interview with NM Political Report last month, Williams Stapleton denied ever having a conversation with Greene regarding a contract. In fact, Williams Stapleton said, when Greene approached her for funding, she was already accompanied by representatives of eRead.
"I was never involved, never spoke to anybody about a no-bid contract," Williams Stapleton said.
Still, the Albuquerque legislator said she was concerned about the investigation into the commission and said "it has a track record of being a good program."
Jones, who declined to speak with NM Political Report following the meeting, told the commissioners during the public comment portion of the meeting that she took pride in mentoring children through a variety of programs facilitated by the commission.
"The children are my heart," Jones said, fighting back tears.
She went on to say she was never concerned with money and would do the job for free. Karen Montoya, who serves on the commission and also as chairwoman on the Public Regulation Commission, would not say why Greene and Jones were removed from their positions. Many commissioners alluded to the fact that there was no money for Jones' position.
The commission made the employment decision behind closed doors in an executive session and only heard public comment after the decision was finalized. Many members of the public were confused and upset at the loss of two positions.
Members of the panel, meanwhile, looked forward and said that the next step is to hire an interim director and work towards permanently filling the two positions.
Commissioner Landjur Abukusumo, who publicly stated that he voted against terminating Greene and Jones, expressed his disagreement by saying, "We have shot ourselves in both feet."
According to State Auditor Tim Keller on Monday, his office was in the process of auditing the commission when the AG's office confiscated computers and files. Keller sent a letter to the commission on Tuesday recommending that the Department of Finance and Administration take over financial activities "until the smoke clears."
In a statement, Keller's office said the commission was considered "at risk" both this and last year for failure to submit required audits. The MLK Commission voted for DFA to take over the commission's fiscal duties.
Khadijah Bottom, a self proclaimed close friend of Greene, said Greene submitted her resignation ahead of the executive session. Montoya confirmed that Greene submitted a resignation, but said the board still vacated her position. Bottom, like many others in attendance criticized the commission of mismanagement.
Bottom asked the commission "Why is it that when the Martin Luther King Commission has a problem, the solution is to gut it?"
Montoya, along with a few other commissioners asked members of the public for patience while the panel learns from possible mistakes.
"We need to move forward," Montoya said.
The commission elected a new chair and vice chair, but voted to hold off on electing a secretary and treasurer for the first time.
Program Manager Cheryl Yazzie, who kept her position, summed up much of the audience sentiment by saying, "It breaks my heart that we've come to this."

The St Vincent and the Grenadines Medical Association (SVGMA) and their breast cancer awareness fight received a much-needed boost from Massy Stores this week.
On Wednesday, at Massy's Upper Bay Street location, president of the SVGMA Rosalind Ambrose received a donation of $1,933.60 from marketing assistant at Massy Akene 'Prez' Keizer.
The supermarket chain raised the money through a Yoplait promotion.
Keizer noted that Massy decided to double the donation by making it 20 cents from every Yoplait sold.
The promotion ran from October 1 to October 31.
"Breast cancer is a serious medical condition that takes money to fight and we decided to help in any little way we could," said Keizer.
In response, Ambrose said that the SVGMA was very excited and happy to collaborate with Massy Stores.
She said the donation, which she described as "significant," will help the persons that the SVGMA assist with cancer treatment.
"This morning (Wednesday), we had a patient appeal for assistance. There are always people in need and it (the donation) means we have more funds to help," said Ambrose.
The SVGMA president also revealed that apart from the donation, Massy also helped the organization by selling the SVGMA handbags and other items, as well as assisting with their 5K run, which was done in collaboration with the Trinity School of Medicine.
"This is a very significant campaign of building awareness and Massy did go all the way to help us and we are happy to have this corporate collaboration," noted Ambrose.
She said persons who need help may write to the SVGMA through the Caribbean Medical Imaging Centre Ltd at Stoney Ground. All requests for assistance are reviewed and evaluated by the SVGMA.
Persons who wish to donate to the SVGMA may also make donations through the Caribbean Medical Imaging Centre Limited, as the SVGMA's treasurer Shannon Durrant-Samuel operates from that location.

Sudan will hand al-Bashir over to the ICC : "We cannot achieve justice unless we heal wounds with justice."

"We cannot achieve justice unless we heal wounds with justice." Sudan will hand al-Bashir over to the ICC
(CNN) Sudan's former president Omar al-Bashir will be handed over to the International Criminal Court to face war crimes charges, it was announced Tuesday.
Bashir, who was ousted in April 2019 after months of nationwide protests, faces five counts of crimes against humanity and two counts of war crimes at the ICC in The Hague. The crimes were allegedly committed during Sudan's military campaign in Darfur between 2003 and 2008.
A member of Sudan's ruling sovereign council said Tuesday that all Sudanese wanted by the ICC would be sent there. A senior government source confirmed to CNN that Bashir was among them. The move is part of a proposed agreement between the Sudanese government and Darfur's rebel movement, according to the source, who asked not to be named for security reasons. No timeline has been set. ICC spokesman Fadi El Abdallah told CNN: "We are aware and following the news in relation to Mr. al-Bashir. We have no official confirmation on our side at this moment."
In a video statement, a member of Sudan's ruling sovereign council, Mohammed al-Ta'ashy, said: "We cannot achieve justice unless we heal wounds with justice." The ICC issued two arrest warrants for Bashir, first in March 2009 and then in July 2010. It now considers him to be "at large." Bashir, who ruled Sudan for three decades, was the first sitting president to be wanted by the ICC, and the first person to be charged by the ICC for the crime of genocide, according to the court's website.
Last December, he was sentenced to two years in a correctional facility after being found guilty of corruption and illegitimate possession of foreign currency. Sudan had previously said it would not extradite Bashir. CNN's Sarah El Sirgany also contributed to this report from Abu Dhabi. CNN's Hamdi Alkhshali contributed to this report from Atlanta.

Thoughts from Driver Ron Hornaday:
"I have won road-course races in the past and I really like competing on these types of tracks. I haven't been to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, but I have been using track maps and video to study the new venue. Bruce Cook (crew chief) and the NTS Motorsports team have worked very hard to build a new truck for me and I will do my best to bring back our team's first win of the season."
Words of Wisdom from Crew Chief Bruce Cook:
"The new venue presents a challenge, but that is something I look forward to. I am glad to be a part of this race, as it will mark a historical event in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Ron (Hornaday) is great at road courses and I have had good success at these types of tracks in the past. We had a very good road course test and with the new trucks we have built, I am confident in NTS Motorsports' ability to finish 1, 2, 3."
Notable Notes from Owner Bob Newberry:
"This weekend will be filled with a lot of firsts – marking the first time that the trucks head over the border, the first time that the drivers have to make left and right turns as they compete at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, the first time for NTS Motorsports to welcome Max (Papis) to our team along with Ron (Hornaday) and Brennan (Newberry). It will be a great weekend for our team and I'm looking forward to competing for NTS's first win with all three teams!"

The problem facing Juana, a 12-year-old girl, is imperceptible to others. She might even be even unaware of it herself, but it is latent in every shot of Martín Shanly's debut feature: Juana fails easily. She performs poorly at her private British school in the outskirts of Buenos Aires and even worse in her social life among friends and family.
About 12 nurtures a rare bitterness in its particular mixture of uncomfortable comedy and tempered tragedy. In the depiction of female bodies out-of-sync with the world they inhabit, Shanly's film successfully blooms as an odd cousin to Todd Haynes's Safe and Todd Solondz's Welcome to the Dollhouse. The lead performance by Rosario Shanly—the director's sister—transcends masks thanks to a mise-en-scène that manages to be as frail and mysterious as its main character. Juana's inadequacy to deal with the most basic social rules turns her apparently passive behavior into an intimate revolutionary act, a silent cry of resistance that is both funny and piercing. Juana is a gentle girl, a soul maybe too beautiful for this world.

SugarCreek invests in clean technologies that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
SugarCreek's "Green Fleet" consists of forty-three hybrid-electric refrigerated truck trailers that keep product cold during transportation. All SugarCreek facilities have corresponding hybrid trailer charging stations. The goal is to reduce emissions from diesel fuel exhausts, which contain harmful pollutants. Using trailers with hybrid refrigeration units eliminates an estimated 50% of greenhouse gases that would otherwise be emitted by diesel trailers.
SugarCreek is improving all facility lighting with efficient LED light bulbs. This will save 1.4 million kWh annually at our Dayton and Washington Court House Facilities alone, which is equivalent to saving an estimated 1,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases every year. The parking lot lights at the Cambridge City facility are LED light bulbs with daylight sensors. Using longer lasting LED light bulbs not only cuts electricity costs and usage, but also reduces maintenance costs.
SugarCreek takes wastewater byproducts to anaerobic digesters. In 2017, 1.5 million kWh of renewable energy was created from our Ohio plants by converting the waste to energy.

Recently I was invited to check out a new spot called Encontro North Park. Encontro is located where Heaven Sent Desserts used to be, on the corner of 30th and University in the heart of North Park.
At Encontro, you place your order here and then find a little spot for yourself to sit at. They'll bring the food out to you after you order!
Encontro has alcoholic options at the bar in the back, but if you're not feeling it then you can always choose one of these fancy craft beverages.
Stacey was my date that evening.
Here's a closeup of their neat looking bar which has greenery all around it! When Stacey and I visited they were having a Pizza Port Brewing night.
Here's the menu at Encontro. They had a number of different entrees and salads available. Since Stacey and I were sharing we decided to try out a few of the "Go Withs" so we could sample more stuff from their menu.
I tried one of those fancy craft beverages. This Grapefruit Chamomile & Cardamom soda was definitely unlike anything else I had tried before. It wasn't overly sweet and you could taste notes of all of the flavors mixed into the drink. I wouldn't say this is something I'd crave again, but it was a nice change from the norm.
If you're a mushroom lover like Stacey and I are, then you absolutely 100% must order these portobello fries. They cut up the portobello mushrooms into strips and fry these babies until they're crispy. There's a really light coating on them (maybe tempura?) and it's sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and herbs. The portobello was a little crispy but still a little tender on the inside and filled with luscious mushroom goodness. I couldn't get over how amazing these fries were! The texture and the flavor were superb and I'd honestly come back just to eat like, 2 more orders of these crazy good fries. Yum!
My eyes lit up when I saw "butter biscuits" on the menu so it was an easy thing to add to our meal that night. The biscuits are made with cheddar cheese, chives, and buttermilk and then topped with honey butter. Doesn't it look like the biscuits are glistening?
Oh you glorious biscuit! The biscuits are "normal" sized – not too small nor too large. The honey butter seems to cover every nook and cranny and gives a nice sweet flavor to the crunchy biscuits. They even give you a side of butter to dip your biscuits into in case you don't get enough…. that's love and commitment right there.
Stacey and I decided to try out the sliders. That way we wouldn't have to bother cutting anything in half – they're already be sharing size! Tiny little buns like this make me happy for some reason. They're cute and cuddly! The pulled pork had a nice BBQ sauce on it but the coleslaw kind of killed it for me. Admittedly I'm not a fan of coleslaw but I like to try things the way they're "meant to be" (unless it has pickles on it – sorry). This was a fair slider. Nothing outstanding but a decent bite.
We also chose the fried chicken sliders which also had the coleslaw on them. The chicken itself was fine though maybe a tad on the drier side.
We got a whole slew of sauces with our food that came out in this cute little sauce holding tray!
Stacey and I were really curious what "egg zest" was which was probably the real reason why we ordered this salad to share. It's got baby spinach, golden tomatoes, avocado, egg zest, applewood bacon, and shallot bacon vinaigrette in it. Egg zest is basically a hard boiled egg that's been zested with a microplane over the salad. It makes for fine little egg crumbs on top of the salad which we enjoyed. This was a really nice combination of flavors and it almost reminded me a bit of a chef salad. I love baby spinach as a replacement for lettuce!
Our last "real food" item that we ordered were the mini corn dogs which are stuffed with cheddar bratwurst and covered in a house made corn batter. I really ordered these because of the cheddar bratwurst tucked inside! These were the perfect little portion of mini corn dog. The cheddar brat inside was hot, juicy, and had a nice amount of cheese tucked into it. The corn batter was crunchy and a little thick. It had a little bit of a cornmeal texture which I really liked. I thought these were excellent and would happily eat them again.
At Encontro their dessert offerings involve milkshakes! Sure, we could have shared one but where's the fun in that?!
Stacey got the Banana Brownie Fudge milkshake. It had large chunks of brownie in it which were not straw friendly – you definitely needed a spoon to scoop those brownie pieces into your mouth!
I went for the Churro Milkshake. It looks like the churro is small from this photo, but actually half of the churro is hidden and tucked into that mound of whipped cream on top. The churro is served warm with the cool, creamy, cinnamony milkshake. While I did enjoy the shake, I probably could have just eaten the churro alone and been happy. It's a lot of milkshake for one person! It's yummy though and great on a warm summer day.
While I didn't quite love all of the food here, I can say I'd come back for a few of the things (hello portobello fries and mini corn dogs!!) and would totally like to try some of the actual entrees that are available. Encontro has a cool, laid back vibe. There's outdoor seating available making it dog friendly and a lovely place to have a meal and a drink.
Disclaimer: I was invited to dine at Encontro North Park. Our meal was complimentary. I was not further compensated for this post and all opinions here are my own.
We went here out of curiosity earlier this year when they opened. We liked their shrimp and Duroc pork sandwich with sweet potato fries along with their portobello fries. I didn't expect the mushroom fries to taste so good. The coating was really thin but crisp. I still remember when it was Heaven Sent way back when. I'd go back to try those biscuits that you had!
Hi CC – Funny, I didn't expect the mushroom fries to be that good either! It's actually made me crave mushrooms more since I've had it – they were so freaking good! Definitely try the biscuits – they were really yummy.
We will, I'm thinking of of doing a North Park food crawl with some GF's. Biscuits for sure! And probably those mushroom fries again!

Women dedicated to treating veterans were fatally shot by a former patient.
The Northern California treatment facility where an Army veteran killed three woman and himself after a siege Friday remained shuttered over the weekend and may never reopen, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday.
A spokesman for the privately run Pathway Home in Yountville told the paper that the program's six patients have been moved to various hotels in Napa County while law enforcement officials continue their investigation.
"We don't know whether that building is going to be a place that people want to live in, want to work in, after what happened Friday," Larry Kamer told the Chronicle. "It's not like people can just forget what happened there, move on, and work and have their group sessions. It's got bullet holes in it."
Investigators said 36-year-old Albert Wong, a veteran of the Afghanistan war, slipped into a going-away party for some Pathway Home employees Friday morning. He let some people leave, but made his three victims stay behind. They were later identified as Pathway Home Executive Director Christine Loeber, 48; Clinical Director Jennifer Golick, 42; and Jennifer Gonzales Shushereba, 32, a clinical psychologist with the San Francisco Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare System.
Investigators were also looking at how Wong -- whom Golick had expelled from The Pathway Home weeks earlier -- managed to get inside the building without being noticed.
According to the Chronicle, the facility is patrolled 24 hours per day by roaming unarmed personnel and has surveillance cameras positioned at its front door and its hallways. The paper also reported that the home has a sign-in desk at the entrance to the premises.
The California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA), the union representing security personnel, issued a statement Friday calling for armed guards at veterans homes, hospitals and other facilities.
"To date, administrators have been willing to risk public safety rather than provide trained law enforcement officers with firearms," CSLEA's statement read. "Rather than the State taking a proactive approach to adequately protect their residents, staff, and visitors, CSLEA's fears have been, and continue to be, that it will take a tragic event to force administrators to finally act."
In response, California Department of Veterans Affairs spokeswoman June Iljana told the Chronicle it would be "inappropriate to speculate until the investigation concludes and all the facts are known."
Wong served in the Army Reserve from 1998 until 2002 and then enlisted for active duty in May 2010 and was deployed to Afghanistan in April 2011, according to military records.
Wong always wanted to join the Army and serve his country and was "soft-spoken and calm," Cissy Sherr, his legal guardian when he was a child, told the Associated Press.
Sherr and her husband became Wong's guardians after his father died and his mother developed health problems, she said. He moved back in with them for a little while in 2013 after he returned from his deployment in Afghanistan and kept in touch online.
Wong thought the Pathway program would help him readjust after the Army, she said. According to her recollection, he told her: "I think I'm going to get a lot of help from this program."

Maughan new president of MSLC, Cusack-McGuirk to retire end of year
Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall (MSLC) has named Daniel J. Maughan President of the organization. Maughan will continue working closely as President & Chief Operating Officer (COO) with MSLC's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Joan Cusack-McGuirk, who will retire from Newburgh-based MSLC at the end of this year. Cusack-McGuirk's career spans more than 40 years, most of which has been in service to the community she has cared for and the hospital she has led since 2015.
Maughan's new title went into effect on January 1, 2021, as the hospital focuses on continued growth and expansion in addition to continuing to care for its patients amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Dan's leadership and experience contributes greatly to the continued evolvement of Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall," said Cusack-McGuirk. "Dan has a true understanding of the transformational shift that is occurring in the realm of healthcare delivery and I look forward to the road ahead as we work to expand MSLC programs and services to best meet the evolving medical needs of our community."
Maughan has been instrumental in leading MSLC's transformation efforts that include the health facility's first ever Certification and Designation as a Level III Trauma Center, spearheading MSLC's response to the Opioid Epidemic and ensuring that the community had access to Medication Assisted Treatment. Additionally, Maughan was responsible for securing grant funding for expansion on both the Newburgh and Cornwall campus from the NYSDOH as part of the Statewide Healthcare Facility Transformation Program. On the Newburgh campus the MRI Suite and Emergency Department renovation project was completed late last year, and in the coming weeks, MSLC will soon be opening a 10-bed Observation Unit. An Expanded Primary Care site is set to open in the days ahead on the Cornwall campus, adding to the list of multispecialty practices already offered at MSLC's outpatient campus.
Cusack-McGuirk stated, "Dan continues to have his finger on the pulse of healthcare as well as our community hospital. Most recently, Maughan has been leading the charge on MSLC's COVID-19 vaccination program. In just three weeks, MSLC has vaccinated over 2,000 individuals including employees and eligible frontline workers."
Maughan's nursing and leadership career spans more than 30 years, mostly within the hospital setting as a nurse, nurse practitioner and healthcare leader. Maughan and his family have resided in Newburgh for more than 20 years.

Well, as you can see, I've done a bit of spring cleaning around the blog. I was looking for a way to move away from a more traditional blog format and chose a template that puts content - whether photographs or text - right up front, at the top. The template is called Lemon Meringue and was designed by Powered by Pastries. Although most of the work is complete, I still have a few finishing touches to add in the sidebar; I'll be adding the search tool back in and a list of the most visited recipes.
In the meantime, I'll share with you some photos I took this weekend at a local garden.
Is there anything else you would like to see added to the new design? Let me know in the comments!
Beautiful photos. I love grape hyacinths!

HP acquires Palm for $1.2 billion
Written by Gareth Halfacree
April 29, 2010 | 08:50
Tags: #acquisition #palm-pre #smartphone #webos
Companies: #hewlett-packard #hp #palm
The rumours of ex-leader of the PDA marketplace, Palm, being up for sale have proved true, with Hewlett Packard spending an estimated $1.2 billion on acquiring the company.
The announcement of the deal, reported over on the New York Times, results in Palm becoming a wholly owned HP subsidiary - and gives HP a big boost in the smartphone and possibly tablet PC market.
Industry pundits have been saying that Palm was a likely target for acquisition ever since the company's Pre smartphone - running Palm's critically acclaimed WebOS operating system - received a lukewarm market reception. HP, on the other hand, has been producing a variety of Windows Mobile-enabled range of iPaq smartphones for business users, also without a great deal of success.
While the deal provides a lifeline for Palm, it remains to be seen if the company can take two not-terribly-successful smartphone business units and combine them to reinvigorate both company's offerings and compete against the likes of Apple's hugely successful iPhone and the increasing popularity of handsets based around Google's Android.
The £790 million deal - which sees HP valuing Palm at $5.70 (£3.75) a share, a premium on the $4.63 valuation the company had at close of trading on Wednesday but significantly lower than its 52-week high of $18.09 - will see HP also acquiring Palm's estimated $400 million debt, which the company will pay off using Palm's cash assets.
Interestingly, HP's executive vice president for the personal systems group Todd Bradley should be well-placed to guide the successful merger of the two companies: before moving to HP in 2005, he served as Palm's chief executive officer. Palm's current CEO, Jon Rubinstein is expected to remain at the company.
It's thought that HP will continue to develop in and invest in WebOS, both for smartphones and - interestingly - for slate-format devices as well - although as yet no product announcements have been forthcoming.
Are you pleased to see Palm find a buyer, or has HP ended up with a lemon? Is WebOS the future for mobile devices, or should the company ditch it in favour of a customised vesion of Google's Android - or even Windows Mobile? Share your thoughts over in the forums.

The Department of Education tried to mark Black History Month by tweeting about the famed black author and activist W.E.B. Du Bois.
Instead, it tweeted about W.E.B. DeBois, who is not a real person, but the result of a typo.
This comes a week after #boycottbudwiser trended on Twitter, as did #BetsyDeVoe. All of these are misspellings. The beer giant is spelled Budweiser, and the new education secretary is Betsy DeVos.
Post updated - our deepest apologies for the earlier typo.
The department apologized for the typo.
A later version of the tweet corrected the error.
But people had already noticed.
W.E.B. DeBois is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice.
Some tied this to President Trump's unusual comments about Frederick Douglass.
What we W.E.B. DuBois be doing today?
The NAACP saw this as a teachable moment.
Others just saw fodder for a pun.
Why didn't the Department delete that tweet?
It's probably illegal for any federal agency's official Twitter account to delete any tweets, Forbes reports. The Presidential Records Act of 1978 says basically any correspondence by the President "and his staff" must be preserved, and deleting tweets would likely violate that.
So the Education Department will never be able to delete this high-profile typo, or any other, unless the law changes.
WATCH | DeVos has already been met with controversy early in her tenure as Education Secretary. She was blocked from entering a Washington, D.C. public school by protesters.

Texas isn't the worst state to be a working mom, but it certainly isn't the best, says a new Wallet Hub survey. In fact, it came in No. 33.
Where would we have to move if we wanted to live in the best place for working moms? Vermont, which is lovely in summer and fall, but those winters and the spring that never comes — pass.
What's Vermont have that we don't have? Better day care, better work-life balance, better professional opportunities.
If you don't like Vermont, Minnesota was No. 2, New Jersey was No. 3, Delaware was No. 4 and Connecticut was No. 5.
Texas did great in day-care quality — we're No. 3 — OK in child care costs (No. 13), great in median women's salary adjust for cost of living (No. 10), and female unemployment rate (No. 17).
We're OK in pediatricians per capita (No. 29), gender pay gap (No. 30), parental-leave policy (No. 37) and single moms living in poverty (No. 33).
What Texas employers need to work on: length of a woman's workday (No. 49) and ratio to female to male executives (No. 47).
We've been talking a lot about that work-life balance.
We've heard from Sheryl Sandberg about leaning in. Sandberg, the chief operating officer, will be in Austin in November for the Texas Conference for Women.
And, we've also been told that moms need to make their primary role motherhood and not outsource the parenting to another person and certainly not day-care by author Erica Komisar.

Some plastic containers, including feeding bottles, contain an additive which makes plastic harder and transparent. When the chemical connection between that substance and polycarbonate plastic is broken, it mixes with the liquid inside the container. This phenomenon is accelerated when heating the plastic. Most people heat their food in the microwave in plastic recipients… The effect that these substances have on humans is still being studied but it is known to cause several health problems to animals.

Q: TableView in a popup Swift please can someone tell me if i can put a tableView in a popup View. I have been using a function called showStandardDialog from PopupDialog, here some code:
func showStandardDialog(a: String, b:String) {

    // Prepare the popup
    let title = "¡ INFORMACIÓN !"
    let message = "this is " +  a + "and this is " + b

    // Create the dialog
    let popup = PopupDialog(title: title, message: message, buttonAlignment: .horizontal, transitionStyle: .zoomIn, gestureDismissal: true) {
        print("Completed")
    }

    // Create first button
    let buttonOne = CancelButton(title: "CANCEL") {
    }

    // Create second button
    let buttonTwo = DefaultButton(title: "OK") {
    }

    // Add buttons to dialog
    popup.addButtons([buttonOne, buttonTwo])

    // Present dialog
    self.present(popup, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

But i don´t know how i can use this same function and library sending a list.
Thanks to all :)

A: PopupDialog is a 3rd party lib and if you need something super custom you should consider doing it yourself.
That being said if you want to use this lib, take a look at how the RatingViewController is done in the examples:
//
//  RatingViewController.swift
//  PopupDialog
//
//  Created by Martin Wildfeuer on 11.07.16.
//  Copyright © 2016 CocoaPods. All rights reserved.
//
import UIKit

class RatingViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var cosmosStarRating: CosmosView!

    @IBOutlet weak var commentTextField: UITextField!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        commentTextField.delegate = self
        view.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(endEditing)))
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    @objc func endEditing() {
        view.endEditing(true)
    }
}

extension RatingViewController: UITextFieldDelegate {

    func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
        endEditing()
        return true
    }
}

There is no reason why you couldn't add a TableView in the xib and in the ViewController include the necessary delegate and data source.

Picking a Gray Baby Bedding can not be haphazard. The house white color needs a particular style for exterior or your interior. This of course's specific design needs to be done to produce the house's feeling white. As the household that is white itself has restrictions about the room's section.
One important thing todo within the arrangement of the home white by choosing easy bed of shade that is white based on the idea itself. With bedrooms are restricted in size will be experienced more relieved. Not just that, the correct design could make the space nice more beautiful and lavish.
If you're currently buying a mattress foryou and your companion ofcourse pick the bed dimension is sufficient for two folks. But don't be too large in addition to normally it takes much area up. For your associate and you you decide on enough estimate the only real sleep.
As for the bed linen and negative cover themselves can use additional colors for example white, red, silver as well as a mix of many colors. That you don't have to pick white coloring a bed of white color that will be focused by color that is white.
Attractive Gray Baby Bedding #1 Organic Newport Toddler Quilt, Gray is frequently done to generate an environment of style and calm. But there is no damage so that the area look richer if you choose colored bed. For example, merely a dark-brown coloring, black and blue Tosca. Every one of these hues appear beautiful and sophisticated. Along with can be put on the utilization of his bed.
But when you're buying a Gray Baby Bedding on your child or for your own (with out a companion) it's greater in the event you choose a mini bed (simple bad). The space area won't feel cramped, in that way. This mini-bed is precisely employed for teenagers or kids.
As well as colour variety, it's also advisable to look closely at other activities including shape and the size of the sleep could you pick. Choosing a bed of white on room that is white would have to be modified for the room's size. Choice of these mattresses to become really precise so that the area white does not look total or cramped since you can select the sleep.
Also the latest types of sleep nowadays most are good-and may be used for-anything else. Under the sleep where the portion will soon be employed like closet or a clothes wardrobe. The beds have contemporary white color relative to the idea of white colour and was selected because it is good.


I've seen responses to this question for meshes, but I'm asking this question in regards to 2D sprites that are nested.
I am not using a mesh, so I cannot mark the animation as legacy in the inspector. I've tried finding a legacy property for the animation, but I haven't seen it in the properties.
Afterwards, the animation will not play. The animation does play in the animation editor fine.
Mine is still greyed out....I cannot copy it, and I am having a lot of trouble coming to grips with this...scripting it would be easier for me, but I just want to do a few idle animations for object and keep things as simple as possible. This is more of a "your answer did not work for me" than an actual answer...and I don't want to keep opening up new questions for the same issue.
I've recently ran into this exact same problem and I've found 2 ways to solve my issue, so I'm hoping I can help you.
If you select your animation in the Project window, then go to the top right corner of the Inspector window and select Debug from the drop down menu (next to the lock), then change the Animation Type to 1 will mark it as Legacy.
I'm not sure if you did, but when I created my original animation files, I did so inside of the "Project" window. Try adding an animation component to the sprite you want to animate, then open the animation window and select "[create new animation]" in the drop down menu. Doing it this way seems to create the new animation with the legacy animation flag set. This way you can completely avoid the warning or need for editing animation files.
I hope this solves your issue, I know how frustrating it was for me.
1) Ah! This fixed it! Thanks for the tip! I've modified the asset files before, so I should have thought of this, but I'd been wrangling with this issue for hours that I was quite disgusted with the problem. Thanks!
2) This is how I made the animation, aside from doing it in the project as I used the hierarchy to make the animation on a game object in the scene. I'll try this method in the future.
Was stuck on this too. Thanks for the fix.
Thank you for this. Great reply, worked for me.
I cant change the animation type to 1 because it is greyed out. Its current setting is 2. How would I get it to where I can make the edits.
@derekwsparks, I had the same problem you did. When you look at the setting in the inspector it has all the options greyed out so you can't change anything. Whatever is the "master parent" (how it lists in the Hierarchy panel) for your model, go to that in the Project panel. In the Inspector panel, you should be able to change the settings in either "normal" or "debug" view, under the Rig tab, you will see Animation Type, and change that to Legacy. I'm not sure but I think the reason you have to change settings in the master parent, is all the children were imported into Unity as children, and should be modified through it's parent. I didn't make Unity so it's just a guess. Hope this fixes your problem.
If it's greyed out...then 'd' duplicate the animation. Then change new ones to '1'.
and you save my life xD thanks!
Is anyone else being told that legacy clips cannot be in Animation Controllers? The compiler error says to mark the clip as legacy, and then the next error says that legacy clips cannot be in Animation Controllers.
I'm using Unity 5.3.2f1, and I experience a problem similar to yours, because my project involves 2D sprite sheets. When I mark an animation clip as legacy in the debug inspector, I next receive a warning, "The legacy Animation Clip 'animation' cannot be used in the State 'animState'. Legacy AnimationClips are not allowed in Animator Controllers." The work-around I'm experimenting with involves not marking my animations as legacy, then in my animator controller assigning them to my animation states but not making any transitions except for the Entry. I then write my own animation script, using this as a reference: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AnimationScripting.html . Unfortunately, that means coming up with your own state machine in a code with an uncertain future.
I had the same problem. I had an Animation and an Animator component on my Game Object. It seems that's not allowed. The Animation component even was deactivated, that's why I paid no attention to it. Removing the Animation component solved the issue.
Just throwing this out there, but I ran into this problem and although I set the Animation to 'Legacy', it would not recognize this. A simple re-launch of Unity fixed it. Try it, who knows!
3) Inside Animation tab (don't mix up with Animation component) hit Create button and save Dance.anim file (or use other name).
4) Inside Animator tab select node Dance (name as above) and in Inspector choose your clip from FBX-file for Motion field.


Another week, another round of ugly data out of China.
The latest disappointing news comes via yet another growth forecast for the slowing Asian economy, with a Wall Street Journal survey of economists indicating a forecast of only 7.2% GDP growth in the fourth quarter.
If that number proves true, that puts the total growth rate of the year at 7.3%. That's below the 7.5% target set by Beijing and the slowest expansion in 24 years, according to data from the World Bank.
Some investors may not be overly concerned by this, thinking most of the negativity has been priced into China; the iShares China Large-Cap ETF FXI, +0.15% is up almost 19% in the past year to outperform the S&P 500 of the largest U.S. stocks, and while the SPDR S&P China ETF GXC, +0.11% has underperformed, its 9% gain in the past year hardly indicates things are falling apart.
But if you're really looking for emerging-market opportunities in the new year, I would be very careful of relying too much on China as a path to profits in 2015. There are much better international opportunities out there, namely, in India.
Here's why I think investors should overweight India and trim back on China.
The troubles of China have been well-publicized over the past few years. And stock-pickers have been able to find a few bright spots: Internet giant Baidu Inc. BIDU, +0.41% has soared about 175% since its mid-2013 lows versus 30% for the S&P 500.
But be careful of thinking that everything in China is a bargain buy, ready to bounce back.
Looking beyond the well-known slowdown in growth, it's important to acknowledge three big outstanding issues that could wreak havoc on China: the fear of deflation, the shadow of a debt crisis and the risk that the bargains have already been had.
Unlike China, India's turnaround is based on real optimism and real growth.
Deflation fears: Reports show consumer prices up 2% for all of 2014, well below Beijing's target of 3.5%, and the smallest increase in five years. Worse, producer prices for factories and businesses fell yet again; the 3.3% slip for December is the 34th straight month of input price declines and is worse than the 2.7% price decline in November. For all of 2014, producer prices slipped 1.9% in what is undeniably a sign of excess capacity and weaker demand, hinting at the very real danger of deflation.
Credit risk: As Bank of America Merrill Lynch BAC, +0.00% analysts recently wrote: "Few countries that had grown debt relative to GDP as fast as China did over the past few years escaped from a financial crisis. …" Beijing has been struggling to backstop risky lending and the nation's shadow banking habits, but appeared to falter in 2014 as we saw the first-ever corporate bond default in the history of China. Absurdly, however, China's solution to a struggling economy is actually to encourage more lending with easier credit requirements. We saw what the rise of easy money and bad debt did in the Western world, and while China will assuredly be different, the end result will most certainly be ugly.
Valuations: Investors who have been beating the drum on bargain Chinese valuations have been served well. But those bargains may be old news as Chinese equities have slowly, but surely, risen to five-year highs amid increased buyer confidence. Furthermore, the biggest Chinese stocks that are listed on U.S. exchanges and subscribe to stricter accounting rules are at best fairly valued. Financial data provider Finviz shows that among some 150 China-based stocks listed on U.S. exchanges, the group boasts a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 16.4. The S&P 500 has a forward P/E of 16.5 right now, so I'd hardly call that a bargain.
If you are leery of a correction in the U.S. and don't like the risks of a eurozone meltdown, then I don't blame you for looking overseas for investment opportunities. But instead of talking yourself into an obviously flawed Chinese equity market, consider India instead.
Yes, India had also been a chronic underperformer since 2010 as high inflation and political struggles battered what should have been a fast-growing economy.
And, yes, we started to see India return to the conversation as this emerging market posted outsized gains in the past year or so. The iShares MSCI India ETF INDA, -0.20% is up 24% over 12 months, and the WisdomTree India Earnings Fund EPI, -0.38% is up 34%.
But, unlike China, it appears that the turnaround is based on real optimism and real growth, not only investors shrugging and thinking it can't get much worse.
India inflation has fallen from a peak rate of 11.6% in November 2013 to about 5.4% in December 2014, showing that this problem might be under wraps, thanks to moves by the Reserve Bank of India in the past year. The 5.4% rate is indeed up from November, but within central bank's target. And if the trend continues, we could see an interest-rate cut in the next few months as the worst signs of inflation are put behind us.
In stark contrast to China, projections for India GDP are rising, with a recent Citigroup report projecting a 6.5% growth rate for 2015-16 and 7% for 2016-17.
There are risks, of course. The business-friendly government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has garnered big optimism, but with less than a year under his belt, he can hardly be declared an economic hero just yet. Furthermore, one of the big reasons for cooling inflation is undeniably the drop in crude oil, which India imports a lot of.
But if push comes to shove, I'll take stocks in India over stocks in China right now.
The former is a country that is seeing outperformance because of big growth and optimism about reforms, while the latter is a country with obvious troubles but purported to be a "bargain" even at five-year highs.
Look to the India ETFs listed above, or even smaller funds like the PowerShares India Portfolio PIN, +0.23% or the Market Vectors India Small-Cap Index ETF SCIF, -1.86% to play the resurgence of India in 2015.

The effect of Mycoplasma bovis on cattle is well documented, but what about the farmers dealing with the fallout from the disease?
A new study from Otago University will focus on the emotional, social and psychological impacts of Mycoplasma bovis on Southern farmers and farming communities.
Otago University's Senior Research Fellow, Rural Health, Dr Fiona Doolan-Noble is leading the study.
She told The Country's Jamie Mackay that this type of research is important, yet "rare."
"There were studies following the Foot and Mouth outbreak in the UK in 2001 and they have kind of given us a hint of what we might possibly find."
Doolan-Noble says that Mycoplasma bovis is a "different beast," to Foot and Mouth (FMD) which was "acute" and "dealt with quite quickly."
She hopes the new study will give an understanding of the different effects the two diseases have had on rural communities.
The study is currently in the planning stage and Doolan-Noble says the team is looking for participants.
"We're really keen if any farmers or farmer's partners are out there and would like to talk to us in the near future."
The study begins in April. If you are interested in taking part you can email Dr Doolan-Noble , or phone her on 021 372 328.

All our projects are bespoke as we deliver a building to our customers as close to their wishes as possible.
Initially Chris Chapman will arrange to meet with the potential customer to discuss requirements and ideas and from that he will be able to produce an estimate of cost.
If the customer wants to see a previous building we made to view its quality then we can arrange a visit locally.
When the customer decides to progress the project the detail is firmed up and plans and costs are finalised.
The timber structure is then made at our workshop and when all footings have been finished it will be delivered to site and erected.
