are financial interests in real estate held by someone other than the owner of the property. Financial interests can be created voluntarily when borrowing money to finance real estate or involuntarily by creditors. Liens affect the real estate title and may affect the transfer of ownership.
The party holding the lien is called the lienor. The owner of the property subject to the lien is called the lienee.

Ferdinand Tonnies: Public opinion
Mildred C Schachinger, Fordham University
This is a study of the development of public opinion as a social phenomenon, with special emphasis given to Tonnies' theory. This study indicated (1) how Tonnies' theory is integrated with his general propositions of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, "community" and "society", and (2) how public opinion as a social collective is associated with the idea of democracy. The inference is made that Tonnies hoped for a new community based on community of mind, or spirit, and on the material factor of a public (the actual living individuals) united in the acceptance of democratic values. Thus a possible socio-political model of community is presented which combines the components of individual and collective in the democratic idea. Tonnies made public opinion an entity of sociological study. His extensive writings on the subject, which were analytical and not uncritical, stressed the importance of public opinion as a force in history and contemporary society. Tonnies' method was conceptual in that he wished to clarify and make more precise--hence more useful as a tool of knowledge--the idea public opinion. When he applied the concept to actual social data, which was called applied sociology, Tonnies' writing approached philosophy of history. The construct public opinion evolved by Tonnies incorporated similar principles as were found in the basic theory of community and society: voluntarism (or autonomy, freedom), the collective (or social will composed of individual wills), norms, and rational judgment (a legacy of the Enlightenment). These characteristics delineate the basic tenor of public opinion for Tonnies--of which there are sub-variations--and help explain its influence in the creation of new institutions through changed ways of thinking.

Brunei implements stoning to death under anti-LGBT laws
3 abril 2019 / reader
Homosexuality was already illegal in Brunei
Brunei is introducing strict new Islamic laws that make anal sex and adultery offences punishable by stoning to death.
The new measures, that come into force on Wednesday, also cover a range of other crimes including punishment for theft by amputation.
The move has sparked international condemnation.
Brunei's gay community has expressed shock and fear at the "medieval punishments".
"You wake up and realise that your neighbours, your family or even that nice old lady that sells prawn fritters by the side of the road doesn't think you're human, or is okay with stoning," one Bruneian gay man, who did not want to be identified, told the BBC.
The sultan of the small South-East Asian nation on Wednesday called for "stronger" Islamic teachings.
"I want to see Islamic teachings in this country grow stronger," Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said in a public address, according to AFP news agency, without mentioning the new laws.
Homosexuality was already illegal in Brunei and punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Muslims make up about two-thirds of the country's population of 420,000. Brunei has retained the death penalty but has not carried out an execution since 1957.
What is punishable under the changes to the penal code?
The law mostly applies to Muslims, including children who have reached puberty, though some aspects will apply to non-Muslims.
Under the new laws, individuals accused of certain acts will be convicted if they confess or if there were witnesses present.
Individuals who have not reached puberty but are convicted of certain offences may be instead subjected to whipping.
What has global reaction been?
Sultan Hassanal heads the Brunei Investment Agency which owns the Dorchester Collection, an operator of some of the world's top hotels including the Dorchester in London and the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.
Brunei's ruling royals possess a huge private fortune and its largely ethnic Malay residents enjoy generous state handouts and pay no taxes.
But Hollywood actor George Clooney and other celebrities have now called for a boycott of the luxury hotels. TV host Ellen DeGeneres also called for people to "rise up", saying "we need to do something now".
The hotel operator said it did "not tolerate any form of discrimination".
"Dorchester Collection's code emphasises equality, respect and integrity in all areas of our operation, and strongly values people and cultural diversity amongst our guests and employees," it said. "Inclusion and diversity remain core beliefs."
Is this the first time Islamic law is being introduced in Brunei?
The country first introduced Sharia law in 2014 despite widespread condemnation, giving it a dual legal system with both Sharia and Common Law. The sultan had said then that the new penal code would come into full force over several years.
The first phase, which covered crimes punishable by prison sentences and fines, was implemented in 2014. Brunei had delayed introducing the final two phases, which cover crimes punishable by amputation and stoning.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who is also the prime minister of Brunei, is among the wealthiest people in the world
But on Saturday, the government released a statement on its website saying the Sharia penal code would be fully implemented on Wednesday.
In the days since, there has been international outrage and calls for the country to reverse course.
"These abusive provisions received widespread condemnation when plans were first discussed five years ago," said Rachel Chhoa-Howard, a Brunei researcher at Amnesty International.
"Brunei's penal code is a deeply flawed piece of legislation containing a range of provisions that violate human rights."
The United Nations echoed the statement, calling the legislation "cruel, inhuman and degrading", and saying it marked a "serious setback" for human rights protection.
According to rights group Human Rights Without Frontiers, stoning is still a punishment in countries such as Iran, Somalia and Sudan among others.
Why is this being implemented now?
There are several theories, but Matthew Woolfe, founder of human rights group The Brunei Project, said it could be linked to Brunei's weakening economy.
"One theory is that it is a way for the government to strengthen its hold on power in the face of a declining economy that could potentially lead to some unrest in future," Mr Woolfe told the BBC.
"Connected to this is [Brunei's] interest in attracting more investment from the Muslim world, along with more Islamic tourists… this could be seen as one way of appealing to this market."
One rights group says the tightening Sharia laws might be a way for the government to strengthen its hold on power
Mr Woolfe also added that the government might have hoped to get away with the latest roll-out without anyone realising.
"I think that the government did want to ensure that the international uproar that followed implementation of the first phase in 2014 had well and truly died down before further [implementation], in the hope it would just quietly [do so] without anyone realising," he said.
"It wasn't until increasing international attention that it finally came out and confirmed [this]."
The penal code changes were posted on the attorney general's website in December but only came to public attention in late March. There was no public announcement.
How are people in Brunei reacting?
One 40-year-old gay Bruneian currently seeking asylum in Canada said the impact of the new penal code was already being felt in Brunei.
The ex-government employee, who left Brunei last year after being charged with sedition for a Facebook post that was critical of the government, said people were "afraid".
"The gay community in Brunei has never been open but when Grindr [a gay dating app] came that helped people meet in secret. But now, what I've heard is that hardly anyone is using Grindr anymore," Shahiran S Shahrani Md told the BBC.
"They're afraid that they might talk to a police officer pretending to be gay. It hasn't happened yet but because of the new laws, people are afraid," he said.
Another male Bruneian, who is not gay but has renounced Islam, said he felt "fearful and numb" in the face of the laws being implemented.
"We ordinary citizens are powerless to stop Sharia law from being implemented," said the 23-year-old, who did not want to be identified.
"Under Sharia, I would face the death penalty for apostasy."
One gay man was hopeful that the laws might not be enforced widely.
"Honestly, I'm not too scared as the government here often bluffs with the harsh punishments. But it can and will still happen even with it being rare."

At Saint-Anicet, in the Upper St. Lawrence, a small river called La Guerre flows down to the St. Lawrence River. Over time, its meanders have created a little valley, where, long before the French arrived, Iroquoian populations came to establish villages towards the end of the Late Woodland period (1000 to 1534 of our era).
Archaeologists attribute the material remains of these villages to people they have named the St. Lawrence Iroquoians. The designation includes Amerindian groups related linguistically and culturally to the populations encountered by Jacques Cartier. Recent archaeological research in the Upper St. Lawrence has identified numerous sites on which their characteristic longhouses were built between 1300 and 1534.
The most important event marking the history of eastern Canada before the arrival of Samuel de Champlain in 1603 was the disappearance of the St. Lawrence Iroquoians. What happened to them? There are many hypotheses, but the dispersion of these peoples remains enigmatic for archaeologists and historians.
These nations may have disappeared, but they left behind indelible traces of their presence in the St. Lawrence Valley. Based on major archaeological discoveries made on the Droulers site over the past fifteen years, the story of these Iroquoian people is recounted here.

Ben Hunt's wife roasts critics for 'bullying' St George Illawarra halfback Ben Hunt
By Stuart Honeysett
The wife of Ben Hunt has accused the media of 'bullying' star St George Illawarra halfback Ben Hunt over the Dragons' end of season slide, and warned the constant pressure being placed on athletes could lead to suicide.
Hunt signed a $6 million, five-year contract at the Dragons but his form has come under fire recently with the club's early season form deserting them at a rapid rate, culminating with a 40-4 loss against Parramatta on Saturday night.
The Dragons No.7, who was selected as Queensland halfback for the first two State of Origin games before being dumped to bench for game three, was forced to take on more responsibility after captain Gareth Widdop left the field injured against the Eels but was slammed for zero runs.
Hunt's wife, Bridget, erupted on social media and said she had "sat in silence" long enough over the criticism being directed at her husband with former NRL players Michael Ennis, Mark Geyer and Ben Ikin amongst those to question his form.
"You know what I'm sick to death of?? I've sat in silence for long enough not buying into it, but I've had a gut full (sic)," Bridget wrote on Instagram in a post that now appears to have been deleted.
"All of you people who work in the media and constantly bash the s*** out of players for their performances should be ashamed of yourself.
"You know what the number 1 killer of men between the age of 15-44 is? It's suicide! And no wonder, the amount of bullying these people cause other people is despicable.
"Words have meaning! You may not think they affect the person, but they have meaning!"
An Immortal barefoot getting coffee
Hunt's wife also took exception at her husband being blamed for another worrying fadeout by the Dragons, with the club now sitting in fifth position after being in top spot for a large chunk of the season.
It is not the first time the club has fallen away after a strong start, and has now sparked talk that coach Paul McGregor could be under pressure with former Dragons coach Wayne Bennett a chance to replace him.
"It's funny, that Ben is apparently being blamed for the Dragons' performances of late, but it's funny, last time I checked it's his first year at the Dragons, and this has happened three years in a row," Bridget wrote.
"And it's funny that there's 17 people in a whole side, yet it's all his fault!
(AAP)
Ben Hunt's performances for the Dragons have come under scrutiny.
"Players make errors when they are loosing (sic), and players make errors when they are winning too! Rugby league should not be condoning this culture!
"You would hate it if someone was talking to your children or parents that way, so why is it okay to do so in the game they play? It's bullying & it's not okay!
"We are just lucky that Ben is resilient and doesn't get affected by this sort of stuff, but the story may go a different way for someone else."

It was on Christmas Eve when we first reported that online gaming networks of both Sony and Microsoft were under attack. At the time PSN and Xbox Live were restored after a couple of hours but who knew that the attackers won't sit still over Christmas.
Both services were knocked down on Christmas inconveniencing a lot of people who would have wanted to get some good gaming sessions in, it would have also been very agitating for people who received a new console over Christmas only to be denied the chance to get in on some multiplayer action with people around the world.
The agonizing wait for these services to come back online is finally over. Yesterday Microsoft confirmed that it had been able to bring Xbox Live back online, thus allowing gamers to play games on the internet once again.
Sony too updated its official blog to notify PlayStation Network users that they can start playing games online once again. The company revealed that its servers were hit with a distributed denial of service attack, a.k.a DDoS, which basically overloaded its equipment with "artificial" traffic.
A group that calls itself the Lizard Squad took credit for these attacks, late on Christmas day it announced that the attacks were being stopped apparently because Mega's Kim Dotcom had given them gift cards worth a few hundred dollars to lay off of the gaming services.

The Bunbury Football Club is a proud supporter of the Cancer Council's annual Relay for Life. Every first weekend in November the Bunbury Football Club turns over its premises for the weekend to the team from Relay for Life to help them raise funds to find a cure for cancer.
Over the seasons the Bunbury Footall Club has lost many players, members and supporters to cancer so is proud to put its support behind this cause.
HOW RELAY BEGAN
Relay for Life began in the USA in May 1985 when colorectal surgeon, Dr. Gordy Klatt, wanted to raise awareness of cancer and boost the income of his local cancer charity. He spent a gruelling twenty-four hours circulating a track in Tacoma, Washington, and raised over US$27,000, and showed that one person really can make a difference.
Since then, Relay For Life has become the largest fundraising event for cancer in the world. Celebrated by more than 4 million people in over 20 countries, this inspirational overnight event empowers and unites local communities to fight cancer.
Relay For Life began in Australia in 1999 when the Victorian community of Murrumbeena raised over $75,000 for Cancer Council. Relays are now held in every Australian State and Territory, with more than 134,000 participants raising over $24 million each year. Every dollar raised goes towards funding Cancer Council's vital research, prevention and support programs, many of which help people in your community every day.

WHO set to approve a COVID-19 vaccine by end of 2020—increasing hopes for equitable access
The U.K.'s vaccine approval triggered a global domino effect. Now the WHO and humanitarian organizations are racing to ensure fair access.
By Nsikan Akpan
The United Kingdom's emergency approval of a COVID-19 vaccine is an historic milestone in the global fight against the pandemic. But vaccine experts warn that the move may trigger a domino effect as other countries jockey for approvals—one that could reduce access for poorer nations for months or even years.
To better ensure equitable distribution, the World Health Organization and one of its major partners—the European Medicines Agency (EMA)—are now moving into their final stages of evaluation for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which the U.K. approved on December 2. A day earlier, the EMA accepted Pfizer's application for authorization and is expected to conclude its assessment no later than December 29. An identical review was also launched for Moderna's vaccine candidate. Its completion is expected on January 12.
"We are co-reviewing with them, so we're on a similar time table to what the EMA timetable is," Katherine O'Brien, the WHO director of immunization, vaccines and biologicals, told National Geographic on Friday. "We can't guarantee what the outcome of those reviews will be, but they are ongoing."
The decision shows just how much the vaccine race has accelerated in the wake of Britain's emergency authorization. But that endorsement also adds uncertainty about when richer countries—such as the United States—will receive their doses once they approve the vaccine.
"As the manufacturing capacity ramps up month by month, it is not entirely clear which countries have dibs, so to speak," says Krishna Udayakumar, founding director of Duke University's Global Health Innovation Center.

The COVAX conundrum
In recent months, wealthier nations have pre-purchased huge amounts of the vaccines promised by frontrunner producers, such as Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. Of the billions of doses that vaccine-makers have committed to make, three of every four already have been bought. By beating the rest of the world to approval, the U.K. has put immense pressure on other well-off nations and the WHO to authorize COVID-19 vaccines so they don't have to wait for the limited early supply. Pfizer expects to manufacture about 50 million doses in 2020 and 1.3 billion next year.
The United States and the European Union are scheduled to review vaccine candidates from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna in the coming weeks, and those major economies may begin rollouts well before the new year arrives. CNN reported this week that the Trump Administration's Operation Warp Speed plans to deliver the first doses of Pfizer's vaccine to states by December 15, while shipments of Moderna's vaccine will arrive by December 22.
For some middle- and low-resource countries, the World Health Organization's selection process will dictate their vaccine choices through its COVAX initiative. While the WHO isn't a regulator for sovereign nations, many follow its stamp of approval, especially for early-stage vaccine rollouts.
The COVAX plan aims to secure 20 percent of any signatory nation's vaccine needs in the long term, with a goal of two billion doses being delivered globally by the end of 2021. The project is co-led by the international vaccine alliance known as GAVI, and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). More than 180 countries have signed up, including well-resourced countries such as Canada and the U.K. The United States declined to participate under President Donald Trump, but the head of GAVI expects to hold talks soon with president-elect Joe Biden.
"Most low- and middle-income countries will go through COVAX," says Maria Elena Bottazzi, co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development in Houston, noting that those countries cannot afford to negotiate direct agreements with the pharmaceutical firms.
Pfizer says it is committed to equitable and affordable access for COVID-19 vaccines for all people around the world. "Given the urgency and the global nature of the pandemic, we fully support the COVAX Facility and have put forward an expression of interest and are in active conversations for possible supply of our COVID-19 vaccine candidate," Jerica Pitts, Pfizer's director of global media relations, wrote in an email to National Geographic.
But COVAX's bargaining power is at risk. Its funding depends on donations from its signatories, which have been slow to arrive. Meanwhile, some 9.8 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines are already reserved as of November 30, and more than half are dedicated to well-off countries through pre-purchase agreements, according to data compiled by Udayakumar's center at Duke. Assuming the vaccines prove effective, the United States has already secured enough doses to vaccinate its population twice over. For the U.K., it's thrice. And if it fulfills its orders, Canada could offer five doses to all of its 38 million citizens with some left over.
"If we look at the overall purchases of vaccines today, we've counted about seven billion doses that have already been purchased, of which only 10 percent—or 700 million doses—are purchased through the COVAX facility," Udayakumar says.
He estimates that due to this skewed distribution the globe won't achieve herd immunity—and fully control the COVID-19 pandemic—for another three to four years at the earliest.
Still, hope isn't lost yet for low- and middle-income nations, says Benjamin Schreiber, deputy chief for UNICEF's global immunization program. Their experience fighting other epidemics, such as Ebola and Zika, has better prepared many of these places to distribute vaccines whenever they're ultimately acquired.
The early-bird medal
If securing a COVID-19 vaccine is like a race, the most suitable comparison may be an Olympic marathon. When a nation successfully brokers a deal with a vaccine company, its team has won a medal. The number of doses it gets signifies whether the medal is gold, silver, or bronze.
The U.S., the European Union, and India are among the gold medal winners. They've secured the most hypothetical doses from the potential supplies on offer. Britain would land on the silver podium, but its expedited approval means that its medal will arrive before everyone else's.
The United Kingdom obtained this advantage by conducting a "rolling review" of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which allowed it to complete the assessment in the shortest time possible, June Raine, chief executive of the U.K.'s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said during Tuesday's approval announcement.
Starting in the summer, British health regulators charted a plan to vet a vaccine company's production lines while those firms were still wrapping up their clinical trials. This oversight included an independent commission of virologists, epidemiologists, drug experts, toxicologists, and other academics tasked with reviewing data from the clinical trials.
"If you're climbing a mountain, you prepare and prepare," Raine said. "We started that in June, so by the time the interim results became available on the 10th of November, we were at base camp. And then when we got the final analysis, we were ready for that last sprint that takes us to today."
Despite the pace, outside experts doubt that the U.K. has cut any corners in terms of safety.
"This is not typical and was done because of the exceptional environment of a pandemic," Aliasger K. Salem, chair of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Iowa, said in an email. However, he adds that reviewers still needed to see data on safety and efficacy before the drug could be approved. O'Brien from the WHO agrees.
"Stringent oversight and stringent regulatory review of data is essential for making an assessment for authorization for use," O'Brien says. "The U.K. is a regulator that we certainly recognize as having that performance standard."
As part of the rolling review, the U.K. evaluated partial data as it was released by Pfizer and BioNTech, instead of waiting for the clinical research to be fully completed. That meant relying on the companies' assessments. The WHO and the EMA have also conducted rolling reviews of four vaccine frontrunners from Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca-Oxford, and Johnson & Johnson, though with raw data. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also plans to conduct more thorough reviews based on independent findings.
In the meantime, publicly available data shows that 95 percent of Pfizer's already committed supply has been purchased by high-income nations. Similar discrepancies apply to nearly all the other vaccine options in late-stage clinical trials, aside from those made in Russia and China, which so far will stay mostly within their borders, with some exceptions. AstraZeneca has cut a deal with India's Serum Institute to allow the low-income nation to produce billions of doses and keep half for its own citizens.
These arrangements mean disadvantaged countries will need to procure the remaining vaccines pretty much the same way that they always have: by doing more with less.
Getting ready for rollouts
Moderna developed and started clinical trials for its vaccine about two months after the SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged, a breakneck pace. It was soon joined in the race by potential rivals. Once it became clear that several vaccines might be available by 2021, humanitarian agencies launched preparations for what could be the largest mass rollout of immunizations in history.
"We've been working on this basically since April, putting the pieces together, all the global goods," says Schreiber of UNICEF. "It will be one of many vaccines that we've been rolling out the last 10 years."
This experience makes Schreiber confident that resource-limited nations—and rural areas in developed countries—will be able to catch up whenever vaccine supplies become available to them. As one example, he says that they are uniquely prepared to deal with the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, which require ultra-cold freezing or refrigeration to keep the drugs stable, a challenge in the so-called Global South that harbors most of the world's populations.
"We've been looking at these scenarios for the last few weeks…You can work with dry ice. You can work with quicker distribution," Schreiber says. But he adds that ultra-cold infrastructure is more complex and would require additional training and investments. In 2017, the WHO estimated that supplying five vaccination teams with freezers, portable coolers, and other cold-chain necessities would cost more than $1 million.
Yet Schreiber notes that Ebola ushered in the rapid development of a vaccine that also required cold storage. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo and elsewhere in Africa, this led to changes in the supply chain. The countries not only bought refrigeration equipment, but also "service bundle" arrangements with suppliers to ensure installation in rural and urban clinics. It has been a tremendous game changer. This year, the DRC beat back its Ebola outbreak.
"We've invested a lot of money into fridges—a quarter of a billion dollars over the last five years to procure 40,000 fridges," he says. Many, he adds, were "solar fridges because they have to be set up in remote, not electrified settings."
At this stage, O'Brien couldn't provide a hard number of how many fridge units might be required, but some estimates suggest that three billion people live in regions that lack access to fridges and freezers, and addressing those needs will be extremely difficult. That's why the WHO, UNICEF, and others are developing templates for country-scale deployments. They're also devising checklists that nations can follow to guide their approval practices for the individual vaccines.
"It's really country by country," O'Brien says, adding that many countries may use a strategy of having ultra-cold freezers in a capital city and then finding ways to quickly move the vaccines to remote areas, like the hub and spokes of a wheel. But she added that every country is probably going to use a combination of vaccines, which should aid flexibility.
Meanwhile, some high-income countries that have secured vaccine doses are reconsidering the global consequences. Canada has reportedly floated the idea of donating excess doses to the COVAX program, which the WHO will accept as long as the donors agree to the overall plan. "It's not a question of accepting the leftovers," O'Brien adds.
So while a country's initial purchase and those made by other nations may have driven up the price of the vaccines overall, these donations may ultimately help the COVAX supply catch up. Rising prices can also explain why the Global South has pre-purchased larger batches of lower cost options, such as the AstraZeneca vaccine. Moreover, having to wait for these candidates may actually be advantageous if the drugs don't require such specialized handling.
Globally speaking, "we will not have the supply for everybody who needs vaccines right away," O'Brien says. "There are people who need to go first, and that should be based on public health decisions. And it should be based on science."
Editor's note: This story originally stated that the U.K.'s vaccine approval occurred on December 1. It happened on December 2.

Duquesne's Lawsuit Against City Redevelopment Authority, Non-Profit Moves Forward
By Staff Reports | Posted in: Duquesne News
By Cami DiBattista and Jason Togyer
The city of Duquesne's lawsuit against its redevelopment authority and a non-profit development corporation is moving forward.
Duquesne officials filed suit in March against the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Duquesne and the Duquesne Business Advisory Corp., seeking the return of nearly $1.4 million from a $1.5 million revolving loan fund.
Mayor Nickole Nesby argues that the money was improperly transferred from the authority --- a governmental body created by the city --- to the business advisory corporation, which is independent.
The city has asked Allegheny County Judge Arnold Klein to grant a preliminary injunction ordering the DBAC to return the money to the redevelopment authority. A hearing is slated for 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Duquesne Council OK's Full-Time Position For Mayor
By Cami DiBattista | Posted in: Duquesne News
Beginning with the next municipal election, the position of Duquesne's mayor will be a full-time salaried position.
A motion was unanimously passed during Tuesday's city council meeting authorizing the drafting of an ordinance that will increase the salary of mayor to $65,000 under the guidelines of the Third-Class City Code.
Currently --- including for Mayor Nickole Nesby --- the position is part-time and pays $3,000 annually.
"If the great city of Duquesne wants a full-time mayor, they need to pay for a full-time mayor," said Pastor Peter Roy of the Terrace Church of the Nazarene, who told council he supports the decision. "If they want a part-time mayor, they'll pay for that. This city is on the move and the move is up. You can't expect someone to give 65 to 70 hours per week and not expect to be compensated for it."

Regarding your July 13 story, "172 Houses Head to Demolition; At Least 50 More to Be Added."
The demolition of blighted properties in McKeesport --- part of the "McKeesport Rising" project --- is important for McKeesport and the families who live near them. The homes being demolished are in terrible shape and old.
These homes also probably have lead paint on the windows, doors and walls.
The 200-plus demolitions will cause a lot of dust when the crews push the houses to the ground, and load the debris into dump trucks. That dust will have lead in it from the old lead paint.
In similar projects in other cities, that dust spread to nearby neighborhoods. They found that more children in those nearby neighborhoods had lead in their blood than before the demolitions.

Letter to the Editor: 'You're Either In or Out, Sir'

NV Twp. Commissioners Promise Action on Storm Sewers
By Richard Finch Jr. | Posted in: North Versailles Twp. News
Recent heavy rainstorms are causing concern for residents in the Larimer Street section of North Versailles Twp.
During the public comment portion of Thursday's meeting, resident Mary Henning told township commissioners that water "is shooting out of the sewer system" and that she wasn't satisfied with the results of an earlier discussion she had with the township engineer.
"That's why I showed up today," she said.
Henning's brother, Donald Rush, said he's helping his sister clear land nearby for possible development. "I've been studying this for a year, standing out in the rain just to gather information," Rush said. "Only when it rains extremely hard and for a long period of time does the basin across the street not handle the water."

Related Story: School taxes may be paid at discount through Sept. 14
Many property owners in the McKeesport Area School District will be unhappy when their tax bills begin arriving next week.
School property taxes for the 2018-19 school year are increasing 2.11 mills this year, to 19.48 mills. The increase represents an addition $2.11 in taxes on each $1,000 of value of a property.
The increase, and the district's $67 million budget, were approved by an 8-1 vote at the district's June 27 meeting, with school director David Donato dissenting.
According to the real estate tracking website Zillow, the median home value in McKeesport is $55,300, while the median home value in White Oak is about twice as high, at $104,500. The taxes on a home valued at $55,300 will increase $116.68, while the taxes on a home valued at $104,500 will increase $220.50.

County Police Make Arrest in N. Versailles Twp. Homicide
A South Hills man has been charged in connection with the death of a man whose body was found July 8 in North Versailles Twp.
Darrel E. Hardy Jr., 29, was charged Thursday by Allegheny County police with criminal homicide, carrying a firearm without a license and tampering with evidence.
Hardy was already in jail after police accused him of setting a car fire the same day that investigators believe the victim, Zack Moore, 28, was shot.
Through the course of the investigation, county police said, they determined that the vehicle Hardy is accused of burning was the same vehicle in which detectives allege that Hardy shot Moore.
Grandview Residents Demand Action From Water Authority
The water authority serving McKeesport says it has no record of any complaints about fire hydrants in the Grandview section of the city.
McKeesport Mayor Michael Cherepko and angry city residents disagree.
And they want the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County to run a new water line to a neighborhood that has been plagued by fires, including a blaze on June 16 that leveled one family's home, heavily damaged a neighbor's home, and caused severe damage to at least four nearby houses.
Residents and city firefighters say lack of sufficient water at nearby hydrants hampered efforts to battle that fire, and other blazes.
"I have not been able to sleep," Norma Kwiecinski, who lives near the site of the June fire, told city council on Tuesday. "I'm really scared in our neighborhood and I want to know what's going to be done about this."

McKeesport will partner with a Pittsburgh-based preservation society to determine whether the city's landmark Penn-McKee Hotel can be saved and reused for other purposes.
At Wednesday's meeting, council by 7-0 vote approved an agreement with the Young Preservationists Association to conduct an environmental assessment of the long-vacant hotel as well as an architectural and feasibility study.
Matthew Craig, executive director of the YPA, said the study will consider historic reuse of the entire block of Fifth Avenue between Strawberry and Mulberry alleys, which includes a former Moose lodge and several pre-Civil War houses.
YPA intends to work closely with city officials and volunteers throughout the process, Craig told council.
Wilmerding YMCA to Close in August
The Wilmerding YMCA was expanded in 2006 at a cost of $750,000. The renovations, designed by Penner & Associates architects, added a two-story wellness center and family locker room and reconfigured the existing lobby and administrative area. (Photo copyright Penner & Associates.)
The YMCA in Wilmerding will close Aug. 31, a spokeswoman for the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh has announced.
The closure of the facility on Ice Plant Hill Road is related to the Greater Pittsburgh Y's reorganization in federal bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy proceedings began May 8.
More than 1,100 Y members will be affected, along with six full-time employees and 70 part-time employees.
The Wilmerding Y was the last remaining facility in the Mon-Yough area, absorbing memberships of people who had belonged to the McKeesport YMCA. Closing the facility will save the Greater Pittsburgh Y about $163,000 per year.

Participants in a prayer walk through Downtown McKeesport on Friday carried with them a message of hope.
"We will not see our city destroyed," said the Rev. Earlene Coleman, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, before about 80 walkers set off from the McKees Point Marina. "We will not see McKeesport die, but it will live again."
The event was organized by the McKeesport Unit of the NAACP. Brenda Sawyer, unit president, said the walk --- up Fifth Avenue to UPMC McKeesport hospital, then back down Lysle Boulevard to the marina --- was "beautiful."
Participants included members of McKeesport city council and McKeesport Area school board, McKeesport Area School Superintendent Mark Holtzman Jr., state Rep. Austin Davis and state Sen. Jim Brewster.

CORRECTION: This article had Brenda Sawyer's last name wrong. I apologize for the error. -JT
Members of the McKeesport unit of the NAACP will hold a prayer walk through Downtown on Friday evening to highlight the need for peace and an end to violence.
Brenda Sawyer, unit president, said all faiths and races are welcome to participate in the walk, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the McKees Point Marina and continue up Fifth Avenue to McKeesport & Versailles Cemetery, then return.
"I'm emphasizing this is a prayer walk and not a protest of any kind," Sawyer said. It's the first prayer walk organized by the McKeesport NAACP in recent memory, she said.
After 20 Years, Teen-Ager's Unsolved Death Still Haunts, Hurts

Having recently been released from the hospital, Jeanie Krimm said it was simply too much for her to plan a 20-year anniversary remembrance for her daughter, Kimberlie Rose Krimm.
Fourteen-year-old Kimberlie Krimm's body was found 20 years ago this week, on July 6, 1998, on a hillside at McKeesport & Versailles Cemetery by a utility worker.
"People talk about pain," said Jeanie Krimm, two decades after her daughter's death. "They don't know pain until they lose a child. I'll never be the same. Never."
Part of the suffering is not really knowing what happened to Kimberlie, and how and why she died. The cause and manner of Kimmie's death were ruled "undetermined" by the Allegheny County Coroner's Office—and it was never officially declared a homicide.

Q: Update MySQL database with AJAX I have a form with a submit button and a close button. If a user enters something and hits the submit button, an answer will be posted and saved inside the database. If a user clicks the close button, inside the database an entry will be updated with the current timestamp.
Everything is working fine but now I would like to make those changes if someone clicks the close button with AJAX so that I do not have to reload the page.
The code for my submit button is:
<input type='submit' id='setclosed' value='Close Ticket' name='setclosed' class='btn btn-warning' />

Now if someone clicks the submit button, the followin code will be activated inside my current file (so no external file for php processing):
if (isset ($_POST['setclosed'])) {    // Setze Status auf Closed
    $updatecontent_success=array('stamp_closed'=>$localtime);
    updateContractTicket($show_details,$updatecontent_success);
}

What do I have to do so that the database entry will be updated, but the page does not reload?

A: Here is a quick AJAX example to get you going. You should separate you PHP and Javascript/HTML code. I'll write out the two files.
In your HTML file you'll have the html code and the javascript that will make the request, and then alert the user that the request went through. Make sure that your form doesn't submit anything.
-HTML
<button type='button' id='setclosed' name='setclosed'   class='btn btn-warning'>Close Ticket</button>

-Javascript
$('#setclosed').click(function() {
  $.post('ajax.php',
    {   cmd: 'setclosed' },
    function(data) {
        alert('AJAX request was made');
    }, 'json'
  );
});

The ajax sends a POST variable read by the PHP as $_POST["cmd"]. This will let your php execute the necessary code for that command, echo back a status, and then exit the php file.
-PHP
if ($_POST["cmd"]=='setclosed') {
  $updatecontent_success=array('stamp_closed'=>$localtime);
  $updateContractTicket($show_details,$updatecontent_success);
  echo json_encode(array('Status' => 'Ok'));
  exit(0);
}

Let me know if anything is unclear.
