Is it an American Dream? Depends if You Speak English or Spanish
Is it an American Dream? Depends if You Speak English or Spanish | KCET
Adolfo Guzman-Lopez
Adolfo's been a reporter at NPR affiliate KPCC since 2000. He's reported on three L.A. mayors, four L.A. Unified superintendents, and covered the LAPD batons and rubber bullets flying at the May, 2007 MacArthur Park immigrant march. In 1994 he co-founded the poetry-performance group The Taco Shop Poets. He continues to wander the sidewalks, streets and freeways of Southern California searching for the right words for the sounds he hears.

Pilar Marrero has a new book out. But like any good Latino in the U.S., it has two identities and two names.
In Spanish the book is called, "El Despertar del Sueño Americano, La Tension, el Conflicto, y la Esperanza del los Inmigrantes en Estados Unidos." Basically, "Awaking the American Dream, the tension, conflict, and hope of immigrants in the United States." The driving word in the title is hope. Immigrants -- a description of the Spanish language version begins -- still perceive the golden door that attracted immigrants in previous eras in spite of recent policies that signal one of the most recalcitrant waves of nativism in recent years.
The English title of Marrero's book is, "Killing the American Dream, How Anti-Immigration Extremists are Destroying the Nation." Wow. Time to move to Canada. Right?
"The English version's a different book for a different publisher," she told me several weeks back at a private book reading at a friend's home near Pacific Palisades. Marrero, who grew up in Venezuela, is a reporter and editor at La Opinion, arguably the most important Spanish language daily newspaper in the United States.
The book is a rollercoaster trip through 25 years of immigration policies and popular sentiment in this country. It parallels her 25 years in this country and in American journalism.
In the introduction Pilar talks about how in 1987 the word amnesty wasn't the dirty word it is now. With a pen stroke President Ronald Reagan turned amnesty into the law of the land. One of Pilar's first assignments as a new reporter in L.A. was to cover the implementation of the new law. She remembers some wacky get-the-message-out events headed by the regional and the L.A. chiefs of the federal immigration service. They recruited a popular Spanish language D.J. whose nickname was "El Tigre." They called themselves the "amnesty trio." (Who else had a vision of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short just now?)
The point was to reach the illegal immigrants in this country who qualified for the law. The law changed lives and gave the IRS tons more tax returns to process.
Fast forward to now -- chapter 9 of the book, to be precise -- and to the transformation of Arizona as the Grand Canyon state to the place most active in changing this country's spirit as the land of immigrants.
I talked to her the week after the presidential elections. She'd wrapped up about a year of following Republican candidate Mitt Romney from the primaries to election day. She was tired. From Michelle Bachman in Iowa, she said, to Romney's self-deportation pleas, and the wedge he drove deeper between Latinos and the Republican party, it was a reporting whirlwind. And exhilarating to follow as a reporter for a Spanish-language newspaper, she added.
The Latino vote was key in this presidential election. However, the mainstream's understanding of who Latinos are and what they think is still murky. And there are few people translating the Latino experience for mainstream media. She's discovered in writing the book, she said, that English language media does little to look for these cultural translators. "I want to be one of those voices. As a fact-centered journalist, not as a pundit," she said.
At the time she'd gotten little traction locally and nationally in the interview circuit.
Back to the book's two titles. When her book reading at the Palisades-adjacent home was over I was confronted with the quandary, which book to buy? I'm English dominant now, in spite of growing up speaking Spanish first. Would it be first and foremost a cultural statement to buy the Spanish language book? Well, the English version is a translation so I opted for the story as she told it in her native language.
Poet and KPCC Reporter Adolfo Guzman-Lopez writes his column Movie Miento every week on KCET's SoCal Focus blog. It is a poetic exploration of Los Angeles history, Latino culture and the overall sense of place, darting across LA's physical and psychic borders.

Stop Bullying at Your School (Unrestrained Episode 5)

Guest Biography
Julie Hertzog is Director of PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, which she helped create back in 2006, and where she has led the development of a variety of curricula and resources, including the creation of National Bullying Prevention Month. In 2012, Julie was appointed as a member and co-chair of Minnesota's Governor's Task Force on the Prevention of School Bullying. She has been quoted by media throughout the US, including CNN, NBC Nightly News, Time for Kids, and The Huffington Post. Julie earned her master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas in 1994 and has worked extensively in the field of domestic abuse and child abuse.
Podcast Highlights
Here are a few of the highlights from my conversation with Julie.
On her son David and the inspiration to found PACER'S National Bullying Prevention Center (2:12)
"David was born with Down syndrome, and he also had some very significant medical issues. He was a little boy who was medically fragile. He had three open-heart surgeries. He had a pacemaker, a feeding tube, some other really significant things. He was on a ventilator. And so, he was a child who just fought incredibly hard to survive, and it impacted our family a lot . . . when David was going in to kindergarten, I was looking at him and thinking, 'Here is a child who is incredibly vulnerable. He doesn't talk. He is small in stature.' He had some really obvious differences, and I thought to myself, 'Wow, I can't bear the thought of anybody ever being cruel to David, or teasing him because of those differences, especially knowing what a courageous little soul he is, just in surviving and living.' So he really inspired my work around the topic of bullying, because I thought, 'You know, if anybody deserves to be safe in our schools, it is my son.'"
On a paradigm shift from bullying as an accepted rite of passage (7:38)
"We are making a paradigm shift from bullying being this 'accepted rite of childhood passage,' or some of those other statements we have about it just being a natural part of growing up. You really have to start by saying, 'Number one, this behavior is not accepted in our school.' And giving the behavior a name, too, so the kids can understand exactly what 'bullying' is. And then from there, what we want to do is build schools that have a culture of respect, and empathy, and understanding, and inclusion."
What if kids could stand up to bullying behavior? (11:32)
"Kids who are bullied and are going through school right now are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression. And they also don't want to go to school. They simply don't want to go to school. You can imagine, as an adult, we have all had those experiences in the workplace with that person has who just made our lives miserable. Well, imagine as a kid, going through that every day and no one helping you. That's the impact. And if kids could stand up to that person bullying them, they would. They absolutely would, but bullying is about an imbalance of power. The kids who are doing the bullying are finding that vulnerable person who is not able to defend against the behavior."
On founding National Bullying Prevention Month at PACER (15:25)
"We, as an organization, I would say we're risk-takers. We also like to push conversations forward, and we felt that the way you can do that is to create an awareness-raising event. So in 2006, we started at a week, and there was such tremendous interest in it, and such tremendous support from people like National PTA, National Education Association, and other organizations, as well as just the community in general wanted to have this topic, wanted to bring it in to the schools. And so, in 2010 we expanded it to be the month of October. We purposely chose October because it was early in the school year. So we wanted to make sure that the conversation was jump-started so it would continue throughout the year. Then we just continued to expand on opportunities and resources for schools to get involved."

Srinagar, Nov 30 (KNS): National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Working President Omar Abdullah have felicitated people on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Milad-un-Nabi (SAW).
Praying for the restoration of peace and stability in the State, Dr. Farooq and Omar Abdullah in a statement issued to KNS said Eid-ul-Milad was an occasion to dedicate ourselves to the teachings of our beloved Prophet (SAW) in letter in spirit and work tirelessly towards helping those in need.
In his message, Dr Farooq Abdullah said Islam was the religion of peace and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the perfect embodiment of love, equality and brotherhood. He said the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) point us towards the path of peace, affection and kindness.


so what do I need to make a simple mead?
I've been bringing home 55gal drums from work for rain barrels, a smoker, a red neck brewery ext. Anyway often I tell the person not to clean them out. So I end up with a qt or two of honey or syrup.
So what is a good ratio of honey to water for a mead.
Also what other things do i need? Yeast and yeast nutrients are necessary, can I just boil some old yeast cake from a beer and use that and nutrients?
@frydogbrews this one is all you man.
I didn't mean to accept that answer, but yeah, close enough. With that at sign I know I'll now get the answer I need.
Subscribed. I'm really wanting to make a mead and specifically to age for 8 to 10 years or longer. I want to have one for when my kids graduate high school.
Re-hydrate dry yeast with 1.25oz of Go-Ferm per 1oz of yeast. (re-hydrate Go-Ferm first, then add yeast) or add re-hydrated Go-Ferm to starter just before pitching, if using liquid yeast.
Agitate vigorously in 6-hours, and again at 12-hours.
Re-hydrate nutrients in a small amount of water prior to adding to must.
Amounts shown are for a 5-gallon batch, OK for 4 gallons.
Maybe @Frydogbrews can comment, but his wife was telling me about a mead their friend made that was excellent originally, but later went bad. Not sure how that happens, or how you keep that from happening. I was thinking the same thing as @jlw. I don't drink much wine, but like the idea of making it from honey, keeping for a long time, etc. I did not add sulfites which was a mistake I guess, if you are going to keep it for more than a year or two. Any comments on long-term aging?
Don't know how it coud ever go bad..... I would guess light may be an issue.... keep it in the dark... also, if they put in wine bottles and corked... oxidation might be the culprit.... wax the corks. I never add sulphites... but I do add some tannins... I add a gallon or two of "oak tea" made from dry oak leaves of the red oak in my backyard.
im on vacation, and just now saw this.
i have gotten away from champagne yeast for meads, it just gives it a flat character, i really like d-47 lalvin yeast, as well as 71-b and k1v.
use nutrients, just follow instructions for regular nutrients, but the easy way is 5 tsp nutrient and 2.5tsp energizer added when you pitch your yeast.
use 10-15 lbs of honey per 5 gallons of water.
there is much more i could say and get into specifics, but you said simple mead, and this is the simple way.
oh, and i sulfite, just crush up 2-4 campden tabs (50 ppm) PER GALLON at bottling time. dont' drink for a few months after sulfiting.
Thanks fry. I think I may do a small batch with the free honey I likely have in the drum in my driveway. Don't think I'll have enough for more than a gal or two, but that's good because it won't get in the way of beer brewing.
I do like my sulfides (antioxidants make you live longer), I've never messed with the tabs, I just go for the K-meta.
never used dead yeast because i have big bags of go-ferm and fermaid O.
Fry, What yeast did you use for the sweeter more grapey mead that you sent to me?
I haven't tried my mead lately, but my folks said it was very carbonated, sort of sparkling wineish. Comments?
the bottle we got from you wasn't carbed at all. it was delicious though.
Yea, same batch. I'll have to open one myself and see.
So do you boil the water first? And if so with or without honey? Do you sulfide it before pitching?
if you are crazy about infections you could boil the water first, but nobody really does that.
About how long should I keep it in primary? I ended up using d-47 and boiled yeast rather than any nutrients. Fermentation looks slow, but it is doing something. I didn't take a SG reading at the start, but used about 8.5lb in about a 3.7gal total batch.
I want to move it to my 3gal carboy (moving it off the yeast) for some per bottle aging (forget about it in my basement for a few months). Should i just wait for it to settle out, then make sure the SG is in a reasonable range?

Paige was so much fun and very outgoing. Paige plays girls basketball for PCHS. The Pass Chrisitan Pirates look like they are going to have a great season!
I really do. I have the greatest job in the world. Look at this little guy and tell me its possible not to get a great photo of this baby. Truly. He was the perfect little angel. And he let us do all kinds of things with him while he slept. It's such a joy to be a part of people's happiest moments. Engagements, weddings, babies, families. It truly is always an honor when someone asks me to photograph the special moments in their lives.
We're taking family pictures WHERE?
I like color and texture and being a little different. That doesn't mean I don't do beach or park pictures. But sometimes, I like to mix things up a bit. And city scapes have just what I'm looking for; and yes, sometimes that means you may be taking your family portrait in an alley. Only if you want to of course, but I dare you to give it a try. You might like it.
I knew this family would be all for it. My camera LOVED these kids!! What little models! I hope I get to photograph them more often!!!
Nice to meet you Lev!
Mr. Lev is now five months old, and I had planned on photographing him months ago. But with the move to the Gulf Coast, I didn't get the pleasure. Luckily, this time I was in Boston I made time to meet the little guy. I'm so glad I did. He's a cutie, and possible romantic interest for my daughter, who seems quite smitten with him!
Leah and Eric are great people who make adorable little boys! Okay, boy, singular, but you know what I mean.
A colleague of mine, Caty Morris, took a great photo last year and I wanted to do something similar. At one of her weddings, her guests got together and wrote the word "Congrats" in the air with sparklers and Caty did a great job capturing it.
So, realizing my family all had some sparklers I thought "hey, when better to try this out?" I got them all together and had them spell out the word "FAMILY." It took two tries, but we got the great photo above.
Brian and I drove by this place tonight and just stopped to have a look. It's a coffee house, breakfast and lunch place and on Friday and Saturday nights, it's a bar! How cool is that? They just opened a couple weeks ago.
Their menu looks phenomenal! We miss our old breakfast place in Newton Highlands and so we've been hoping to find something local. I wanted to give a local place some love and support. So stop in sometime and try their coffee, breakfast or lunch.
Brian and I are getting up bright and early to try their breakfast. I'll let you know what we think!!!
Edited to add: It was as good as it looked! Brian and I enjoyed it so much we went two days in a row!

Howard to contact NKA with feedback on EA Cup/Shield proposal - done.
(Helen) Uni still have 4 fixtures outside of term time, 1 this term, 3 later on. Uni have emailed Laura and awaiting a response. Uni to email the opposition to sort out some dates.
Fixtures and results web back end code has been ported to a new platform. The next stage is to set it up so that it is live on the CKA server (currently the code runs on a separate machine and I generate the HTML pages to copy onto the CKA server). One benefit of a live site will be that scorecard entry can be improved, feed directly into the database and, once the scorecard has been approved, be reflected immediately in the results. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvements or additions please let me know.
(Martn) What's happening with Colchester, who the CKA loaned posts to, but joined the NKL. Howard to email them.
- U14 academy - Coach Chris West. Admin - Debbie Howes. Going really well. All children in the U14 age bracket encouraged to come.
- U16/U19 squad training - Coach Lia Matthews. Admin - Debbie Howes. Slow start with low numbers. 1 from City and 3 from Tigers for both sessions (in total there have been 5 different Tigers and 1 City player). Please can I ask for more support from all clubs to encourage their younger players to be part of this. As a reminder, we will be using these sessions to help select area sides for area competitions. We have an excellent coach with a wealth of international and premier league experience behind her. This is a chance for youngsters to get intensive training with players of their own age. I would remind clubs that youngsters need A LOT of reminding and encouragement. Please do everything you can to make this work and make Cambridgeshire a stronger squad. If anyone would be interested in assisting either session on a regular basis, please get in touch.
I need referees for this event - as a matter of urgency, please could you provide volunteer referees to make this happen. We cannot expect travelling teams to provide referees because they will be coaching.
Gareth Williams (Tigers) has organised a schools tournament for his U11 team (Milton Road) v St Matthews and Queen Ediths. Future ones with Kings College School as well will take place.
- CKA Junior Tournament - 19th October. Well attended with 8 U9 teams, 4 U11 teams and 2 U13 teams.
(Chair) Can U18's referee senior matches ? Andy to email EKA to ask policy.
(Chair) Note that the EKA have revised the Underage Player Request form. The latest version is on the EKA website.
Lucy has resigned, to make way for Angela, who now has a DBS check. Angela Gibbs was appointed CPO.
Sara to update contact list so Angela has club CPO contact details.
Sara Neaves is currently storing this. 'I cannot store it any longer and it will go outdoors after this weekend if no-one can house it as we are doing work in the garage and do not have space for it!'. Stuart volunteered to store it.
Liv has volunteered Tigers to help.
Cambridge teams will pay higher fees due to not ever having to travel. Fees will be payable on each match day. Match fees cover hall hire only. They will be payable even if a team withdraws from a match day.
I will try my best to source referees locally rather than asking travelling coaches to referee or bring referees.


New LendingTree study ranks cities by homes over $1 million.
In the start-up world, companies valued at more than $1 billion are called unicorns. Even though they seem ubiquitous, there actually aren't that many of them, and most start-ups are worth far less. The same can be said of homes over $1 million: They are far rarer than it seems, considering the amount of attention they get. Some cities do have larger concentrations of them though, and we set out to find out where those million-dollar homes are located.
Our data below ranks the top 50 cities by the share homes valued over $1 million as recorded in the My LendingTree property value database, which is a collection of real estate data for more than 155 million U.S. properties. We also show the median home values to give an idea of the area's typical home values. Our data shows that housing unicorns follow start-up unicorns, with the tech-unicorn haven of San Jose, Calif., leading the pack, with a jaw-dropping 53.81% of homes exceeding the million-dollar mark. In fact, it's the only area where the median home value also exceeds $1 million. Its neighbor, San Francisco, also has strikingly high number, and every other place in our rankings falls far behind the high concentration of million-dollar homes in these two Bay Area metros.
It's like the California gold rush never ended, as the state is home to the top three places in our ranking. San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego are also four of the only five metros where more than 10% of homes are valued at over $1 million.
Most cities in the top 10 are on the coasts, with the exception of Denver, which is the farthest inland.
The cities in the top 10 are known for having expensive housing markets in general. They all have median values above $300,000, except for Miami.
Rust Belt cities dominate the 10 places with the smallest concentration of million-dollar homes. These are also generally more affordable cities and have median values below $200,000, with the exception of Hartford, Conn.
Buffalo, N.Y. has the lowest share of homes over $1 million with only one out of every 1,000 homes passing the threshold.
To determine the cities with the highest share of million-dollar homes, LendingTree looked at home value data in the 50 largest core-based statistical areas in the U.S. The analysis uses figures pulled on June 26, 2018 from the My LendingTree property value database. The database includes estimated home values for more than 155 million properties in the U.S., based on public tax, deed, mortgage and foreclosure data, as well as proprietary local data used to power home financing recommendations for My LendingTree users. LendingTree determined the concentration of million-dollar homes by dividing the number of homes in the area valued at $1 million or higher by the total number of homes in the CBSA.

Q: How to do multiple validations based on one http call in Angular I have a field on a form with lots of validation.
At first, I had it structured into multiple directives, each with its own error message.
However, the validation uses a back-end asynchronous call, so suddenly for one field I was making 5 http calls for the same dataservice. I am trying to figure out how to write this more efficiently.
I was wondering if it is possible to have one $async validator that calls the dataservice, and multiple regular $validators inside of the first asynchronous function after .then. I experimented with this but it doesn't seem to reach the nested $validators at all.
I also tried to do the call once in a service, but I don't know how to get it to update when the modelValue on the field changes, and consequently pass the information to the respective validation directives. Could I do this as async validation in a service and attach the response to scope for the directives to look for?
TLDR;
How can I make ONE http call and based off of the returned data, perform multiple validation checks, each with its own error?
FOR EXAMPLE
I have about four directives that all look like this:
angular.module('validationForField').directive('po', ['$q', '$sce', '$timeout', 'myService', function ($q, $sce, $timeout, myService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl, ngModel) {
            ctrl.$asyncValidators.validateField = function (modelValue) {
                var def = $q.defer();
                myService.httpcall(modelValue)
                    .then(function (response, modelValue) {
                        if (response.data.status === "Error") {
                            return def.reject();
                        }
                     def.resolve();

                    }).catch(function(){
                    def.reject();
                });
                return def.promise;
            }
        }
    }
}]);

Each one has different analysis of the data to return different error messages. Each one makes a call to myService.httpcall which ends up being redundant because they are all getting the same data.
I am trying to do
angular.module('validationForField').directive('po', ['$q', '$sce', '$timeout', 'myService', function ($q, $sce, $timeout, myService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl, ngModel) {
            ctrl.$asyncValidators.validateField = function (modelValue) {
                var def = $q.defer();
                myService.httpcall(modelValue)
                    .then(function (response, modelValue) {
                        if (response.data.status === "Error") {
                            return def.reject();
                        }
                        ctrl.$validators.checkStatus = function (response) {
                             if (response.data.data.status === "10"){
                             return false
                         }
                        ctrl.$validators.checkPermissions = function (response) {
                             return response.data.data.permission){

                         }

                     def.resolve();

                    }).catch(function(){
                    def.reject();
                });
                return def.promise;
            }
        }
    }
}]);

This way there is the main async validator as to whether the http call is successful or not, and internal $validators that use that data when it returns

A: I assume the backend service accepts a value (the value of the field to be validated) and returns a single response for all validations, e.g.:
// true would mean valid, string would mean invalid with the given error:
{
    businessRuleOne: true,
    businessRuleTwo: "The format is incorrect",
    ...
}

I believe the solution is executing the HTTP call in a service that caches the promise; the async validators call the service and retrieve the same promise, which they return. Some sample code with inline explanation:
// the service:
app.service('myService', function($http, $q) {
    // cache the requests, keyed by the model value
    var requestMap = {};

    this.httpcall = function(modelValue) {
        // if cached, return that (and do not make extra call)
        if( requestMap[modelValue] ) {
            return requestMap[modelValue];
        }
        // if not cahced, make the call...
        var promise = $http.get('....');
        // ...cache it...
        requestMap[modelValue] = promise;
        // ...and remember to remove it from cache when done
        promise.finally(function() {
            delete requestMap[modelValue];
        });
        return promise;
    };
});

Now the async validators can be implemented exactly as you post. Calling myService.httpcall(modelValue) will invoke the remote service only for the first call, the rest will reuse the cached promise.

Two more points: (1) This technique is called memoization. It is implemented by many libraries, e.g. lodash, you may be able to use those to keep myservice.httpcall() clean. (2) You do not need an extra promise from the async validators, e.g.:
angular.module('validationForField').directive('po', ['$q', '$sce', '$timeout', 'myService', function ($q, $sce, $timeout, myService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl, ngModel) {
            ctrl.$asyncValidators.validateField = function (modelValue) {
                return myService.httpcall(modelValue)
                    .then(function (response) {
                        if (response.data.status === "Error") {
                            return $q.reject();
                        }
                        return response;
                    });
            }
        }
    }
}]);

Watch the darkly funny new trailer for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Tristram Fane Saunders
17 November 2016 • 5:46pm
The new trailer for Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events has just landed, and it's a lot to take in.
Adapted from the best-selling series of YA novels by "Lemony Snicket" (American author Daniel Handler, here played by Patrick Warburton), the show follows the misadventures of the three young Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus and Sunny.
After their parents die in a fire, the trio find themselves pitted against Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris), an estranged uncle desperate to get his hands on their family fortune.

Excitingly, the new trailer (above) offers fans their first chance to watch Olaf in action. Previous teasers have only given us a brief glimpse of the villainous count. But here, we see his character – a failed actor – appearing in various half-baked disguises, including "Captain Sham" (complete with an unconvincing eye-patch).
There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss it clip of Joan Cusack as the kindly Judge Strauss, as well as our first look at Alfre Woodard (familiar to Marvel fans as Mariah in Luke Cage) as the Baudelaires' grammar-loving Aunt Josephine, leading a lonely life by the side of Lake Lachrymose.
The trailer's pastel-gothic visuals have more than a little in common with the 2004 feature film adaptation, which starred Jim Carrey as Olaf. But, judging by this brief teaser, it seems the Netflix series will place more of a focus on the secret societies which play a large part in the novels – all of which which share the same three-letter acronym.
Fans of the books will be hoping for a Very Faithful Dramatisation, but will this prove to be a Vexing, Frustrating Disappointment? Only time will tell.

Leeds is a great place to invest
The news is often full of stories about the best cities and towns in the UK for property investment. Most will be familiar with the benefits of places such as Manchester or the South East, but Leeds has started to get a lot more attention in recent months.
By Alex Timperley, 20 July 2018
Located in the middle of Yorkshire with easy access to all the major cities and regions, Leeds is perfect for businesses of all shapes and sizes. The city has a particular strength in the financial services sector where it is second in the UK only to London. 38% of the Leeds economy is based on finance, making the city a key destination for thousands of young professional workers.
With economic growth of more than 40% in the last decade, and forecasts of a further 21% growth in the next decade, it is no surprise that Leeds is one of the few places in the UK registering a NET annual gain of young people. Leeds recorded 6% jobs growth in 2016 and we expect this trend to continue in the future.
And this state of affairs is only set to continue in the future due to the city having £7.3bn of development either in the pipeline or already being delivered, covering sectors as diverse as transport, manufacturing, education, retail and leisure. Already the city is home to companies as large as Asda, Direct Line, Centrica, Sky plc and Yorkshire Bank, but this is only the start. The future is extremely bright for Leeds and the city will only become more attractive to young people, including the almost 40,000 people who graduate from universities in the region every year.
The plan is to add 35,000 jobs and £3.7bn to the city's economy by 2036 – lofty goals, but ones fitting Leeds' status as the heart of the largest regional economy outside London. The heart of this growth will be the South Bank area which is in the process of being fully redeveloped. This huge area to the south of the River Aire will be so large and economically significant that it will drag the city centre southwards and represent the biggest change Leeds has seen in over a century. It is a truly exciting development and people will be desperate to move there.
However, the rate of housebuilding is not keeping up with the population growth. There is a real lack of high quality rental accommodation close to the city centre, and there is nowhere near enough either in the pipeline or in construction to satisfy the demand at the moment – let alone in the future.
With this in mind, it is easy to see why JLL predicts that Leeds is set for 19.9% house price growth and 18.8% rental growth by 2022. All of that is on top of house price growth of almost 25% over the last five years, as recorded by Zoopla.
Leeds is one of the UK's next big up and coming property investment markets and has comparable potential for buy-to-let investors as Manchester and Liverpool did five years ago. This is the right time to get ahead of the market and invest in a city which is on the edge of becoming a national property investment sensation.

Afghanistan: Taliban beat, torture UK Embassy staff
UK Embassy staff brutalized by Taliban in Afghanistan
More than 100 men who worked at the British embassy in Afghanistan remain in the country, with some telling the BBC they have been beaten and tortured.
The men worked for the global security company, GardaWorld, and many had been in post for more than a decade.
Several shared photos of injuries they say were caused by the Taliban.
The UK government says it has evacuated more than 15,000 people since last year and is working to bring more to the UK.
A spreadsheet listing the names of more than 150 men who worked at the embassy and still live in the country has been seen and verified by BBC Two's Newsnight.
One man, who cannot be named to protect his identity, said he was recently beaten by the Taliban because of his previous job as a guard at the embassy.
"I was sitting outside when gunmen approached me, one of [them] attacked me," he said.
"They said you were working for the British embassy. They started beating me and they threw me on the ground. They attacked me again and again."
Another former guard said a militant hit him over the head with the butt of a rifle. He says he was only released after the Taliban was convinced he no longer worked for the British.
This week, the UK government said the men would be able to apply to come to the UK from 20 June as part of its Afghan citizens resettlement scheme (ACRS), which is primarily targeted at those who assisted the UK efforts in Afghanistan.

It was officially launched in January but application requests can only be submitted from next week. Critics say that is too little, too late.
A separate government scheme, the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP), aimed to relocate those who were employed directly by the British government, including interpreters who helped British forces.
One Afghan who came to the UK earlier this year under ARAP said many of his former colleagues from the embassy were being threatened on a daily basis. He is not being named to protect his family who remain in Afghanistan.
"I feel like the British have been disloyal," he said. "They made a promise – these men worked hard for them and now their lives are at risk.
"I can't sleep or eat without thinking of what they're going through. They message me constantly asking for help.".
This week armed forces minister James Heappey told the Commons 9,500 Afghans have already been successfully relocated to the UK under the ARAP scheme.
But he said thousands more still remained in Afghanistan. "We think we've got about the same to go in terms of the number of people who are eligible," he said.
The human rights charity, Azadi, works to support and evacuate targeted Afghans. Sarah Magill, the charity's director, said there had been no explanation why it had taken so long to begin the next process.

"Through their inaction the government has caused incalculable trauma," she said. "It is a deeply inhumane way to treat a body of staff entrusted to keep British ministers and civil servants safe."
The government has faced fierce criticism of its handling of the evacuation in Afghanistan last summer, with one group of MPs saying there had been a "total absence of a plan for evacuating Afghans who supported the UK mission".
At the height of the Taliban takeover the government issued a statement, saying: "We will help all those Afghan security guards contracted through GardaWorld to protect the embassy.
"They will be granted the right to enter the UK and we are now working through the challenging logistics of getting them out of Kabul."
A UK government spokesperson said: "Our staff worked tirelessly to evacuate over 15,000 people to safety from Afghanistan within a fortnight in the biggest and fastest emergency in recent history. We are still working hard to assist the people of Afghanistan, having already helped over 4,600 individuals to leave the country since the end of the military evacuation.
"We have opened the Afghanistan Citizen Resettlement Scheme, one of the most ambitious resettlement programmes in the world and the first bespoke scheme in Europe to begin resettling evacuees and individuals."

GardaWorld added: "Since the closure of the British Embassy in Kabul, we have been working tirelessly with the UK government to ensure the maximum take-up for our Afghan staff on the UK resettlement schemes."

Q: Determinant Evaluation Is there a closed form (something involving a ratio of products) for:
$$\det\left[\binom{a_i+c}{a_i-i+j}\right]_{1\leq i,j\leq t},$$
where $a_i,c$ are positive integers? I think with $c=0$ this is basically a LGV determinant but, with $c>0$ I'm not so sure.

A: A general formula for free parameters $a_i$ does not seem feasible.
For the specialization $a_i=i$, the determinant has a nice closed form
$$\det\left[\binom{i+c+d}{c+i-j}\right]_{i,j=1}^t
=\prod_{k=0}^d\binom{t+c+k}c\binom{c+k}k^{-1}.$$

Q: How to create Combination of records (Order does not matter, no repetition allowed) in mySQL tables I've got a table that has hundreds of rows, each row is a recipe with nutritional information, for example:
recipe_table:
id  | calories | protein| carbs | fat

recipe1, 100,    20g,     10g,     2g
recipe2, 110,    10g,     12g,     12g
recipe3, 240,    20g,     1g,      23g
....
I needed to create a new table (recipe_index) that would show every possible combination of every recipe in recipe_table as a set of 3, so it would look something like:
recipe_index:
id1     | id2    | id3    |calories| protein | carbs | fat
recipe1, recipe2, recipe3,   450,     50g,      23g,   37g
....
Basically it allows me to query recipe_index and say "what 3 recipe combinations come to a total value that's between 440 calories and 460 calories"
My current code for doing this works at 3 meals, however I end up with about 450,000 records in recipe_index, I need to do this same thing for 4,5 and 6 meals as well, so I'm calculating billions of records at the end of this. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Perhaps I need to look into partitioning a table for each range?
My current SQL code:
INSERT INTO recipe_index
SELECT distinct '3' as nummeals, t1.id as id1, t2.id as id2, t3.id as id3, 0 as id4,
t1.calories_ps+t2.calories_ps+t3.calories_ps as calories,
t1.protein_ps+t2.protein_ps+t3.protein_ps as
protein, t1.carbohydrate_ps+t2.carbohydrate_ps+t3.carbohydrate_ps as carbohydrate,
t1.fat_ps+t2.fat_ps+t3.fat_ps as fat from recipes t1 inner join  recipes t2  on t1.Id <
t2.Id inner join  recipes t3  on t2.Id < t3.Id WHERE t1.image <> '' AND t2.image <> ''
AND t3.image <> ''

A: Like Mike says, this is not something that you should be doing with the database. This is more of an algorithm question.
Your problem looks very similar to the knapsack problem, which is NP-Complete. Fortunately, you are not looking for the set that adds up to exactly some amount of calories, but a range, so it's not NP-Complete. Luckily for you, a few hundred recipes will easily fit in memory, so you can easily write an algorithm for it.
Here's a simple algorithm. I'm sure there's a better way to do it:
orderedRecipes = recipes sorted by calorie asc

def combinations(recipes, lowerBound, upperBound, recipeCount):
    first = recipes[0]
    if first.calorie < upperBound:
        for c in combinations(recipes[1:], lowerBound - first.calorie, upperBound - first.calorie, recipeCount - 1):
            if sum(r.calorie for r in [first] + c) > lowerBound:
                yield [first] + c
        for c in combinations(recipes[1:], lowerBound, upperBound, recipeCount):
            if sum(r.calorie for r in c) > lowerBound:
                yield c

combinationsOf3Between440and460 = list(combinations(orderedRecipes, 440, 460, 3))

The first loop takes the first item in the rest of the list, and the second loop does not. You don't want it to always take the first item, you want both take and no-take.

A: Since I think this is a pretty different answer, I'm making another one.
On one hand, having application code do this computation is more easily scalable (you can just plop in another server to scale), but this seems like something the database is very good at (iterating and merging data).
Instead of creating a table of every single combination, write a query that only returns exactly what you need. Sure your database will have to do the combinations every single time, but writing all this stuff onto the disk is a lot of data that you may never need.
So maybe something like this:
SELECT * from (
    SELECT '3' as nummeals, t1.id as id1, t2.id as id2, t3.id as id3, 0 as id4,
    t1.calories_ps+t2.calories_ps+t3.calories_ps as calories,
    t1.protein_ps+t2.protein_ps+t3.protein_ps as
    protein, t1.carbohydrate_ps+t2.carbohydrate_ps+t3.carbohydrate_ps as carbohydrate,
    t1.fat_ps+t2.fat_ps+t3.fat_ps as fat from recipes t1 inner join  recipes t2  on t1.Id <
    t2.Id inner join  recipes t3  on t2.Id < t3.Id WHERE t1.image <> '' AND t2.image <> ''
    AND t3.image <> ''
) t
where 440 <= t.calories
and t.calories <= 460

BTW, you don't need DISTINCT since your join criteria already does not equal.

Q: Accessing elements in an NgFor loop My template contains a dynamic list:

{{ name }}

I want to change an item's CSS class when the user clicks on it. I've tried using properties of the MouseEvent such as target and currentTarget, but the EventTarget doesn't provide access to the class list. So I tried obtaining the list elements as view children:
@ViewChildren("nameitem") private nameItems: QueryList<ElementRef>;

This isn't working either. In the event handler, the native element is undefined:
private handleClick(i: number) {
  console.log(this.nameItems[i].nativeElement.classList.length);
}

The error I get is: Cannot read property "nativeElement" of undefined. Any thoughts?
Thanks

A: A QueryList's elements can't be accessed with array notation unless toArray is used. So this code fails:
console.log(this.nameItems[i].nativeElement.classList.length);

And this code works:

Q: iOS multiline label not gong to multi-line in Xcode 7.3 I'm trying to set this up and have always done this in code and would like to get this done in modern version of Xcode 7.3.
I do the following steps:

*

*drag out a UILabel

*set the number of lines to 0

*set Line Breaks to Word Wrap

But this isn't breaking and representing all the data. The data is being populated though. What else do I need to do?

edit 2
added border for this

A: The problem is that when you do this in code, your label is not using auto layout. But when you drag into the storyboard, your label is using auto layout, so the rules are different. You need to add constraints.
What you do now depends on what you want. First you'll need constraints for top and left of the label. Then, if you add constraints for just width, the label will grow downwards as it fills with text. If you add constraints for both height and width, the label will simply fill up within that size.

Indigenous Names and Places on Map gives true perspective on North America
In Arts and Culture
Nahnda Garlow
A new indigenous map has been introduced to the public domain which depicts the original territories and correct names of the the Indigenous people of North America. It is the work of Aaron Carapella, a Cherokee of Oklahoma who created the map from humble beginnings.
"I don't have any formal training in cartography. I have a degree in marketing." says Carapella. "I just plotted them on an actual cardboard; four posters together and put the names in over years."
Carapella brought his research together with a graphic designer and together they came up with three maps; one showing mainland U.S.A., one showing only Canada, and the other the North American content in its entirety. "I was the nerdy kid who was into native history." Carapella joked. "I would go to pow wows and I'd see these maps and they were kind of cheesy; there was only 50 tribes in all of North America.
Unsatisfied with this, he researched American copyrights to see if a similar map existed and found none. This is the first map produced which includes all North American indigenous nations in their own languages on their original lands. It is now being brought into the school systems across the country, libraries and restoring perspectives on the foundations of the North American continent.
Over the years Carapella was careful to contact members from the traditional community of each nation to verify the spelling and the original area each nation came from. Carapella observed, "I've noticed a trend that people maintain their own tribal name based on being in their traditional homeland. I think a lot of it is because the names they used for themselves usually are descriptive phrases. So, a lot of tribes call themselves, 'we are the people at the mouth of the river'. If you have been removed from your territory through the trail of tears, or the long walk by like a thousand miles from where that mouth of the river is people no longer think of themselves as 'the people at the mouth of the river'. When you get dispossessed of your traditional homeland, there is a cultural rift that happens. A loss that happens from being off of where you are supposed to be."
The work is still in progress. Carapella intends on gathering names and places for Alaska, Mexico and the rest of the indigenous nations of North America. "I'm constantly updating them." he stated.
The maps are available for purchase on his website http://tribalnationsmaps.com. There is also a new project in the works for folks to purchase hats and t-shirts bearing the original names of the nations.

This sounds great but I was confused by the statement that this map/map data is being "introduced to the public domain." So I looked at Aaron's webpage and it clearly indicates this work is copyright to him. So actually, it'll be in the Public Domain many, many years from now. If Aaron changes his mind, this definitely looks like a great project that others can build upon. If he chooses to do so, I hope he'll consider sharing his map and map data with a Creative Commons attribution (CC-BY) license.
Pentortoise@Aharon Varady
Id say depends one what Nation Aaron is allegiant to, There is room for all nations to decide what copyright is, maybe he is in violation for adding names of tribes that have laws against it, but so far as is, He is using Canadian and American law,.. What if a Mohawk made and sold these, how would Aaron gain jurisdiction over the mohawk, is there a mutual legal agreement that speaks to that relationship… funny because I think mohawks could just go a head and patent the iphone tech in their jurisdiction and sell it too :P
SierraRose
Original territories? That would imply a permanently settled home back to the origin of occupation. No migration allowed. Let us once again embrace the concept of the "Noble Savage" living in perfect harmony with nature and each other. No conflicts, no environmental degredation, no truth.
Aaron Carapella@SierraRose
It implies the homeland where Nations lived before Europeans invaded, introduced disease, and genocide. Your attempt to mask your racism did not go unseen SierraRose. It also denotes our own view that our homelands were given to us by the Creator, a concept you cannot comprehend since your people voluntarily gave up the homelands that the Creator gave to you
This is great but you're missing a couple tribes in the Maidu area. The Konkow and Nisenan, they tend feel left out often.
Pentortoise
wow thank you, thats great .

Hi Jon, I added a US and a Can version, both large enough to read the print.


Debuting at the height of the muscle car era, the Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most famous classic cars. While the 1969 Chevy Camaro is known for its gills on the quarter, and the 1967 Chevy Camaro had distinctive vent windows, the 1968 Chevy Camaro had neither. What it did have was a new simple clustered instrument panel and a standard three-speed column-mounted shift. The raised simulated air intake on the hood and SS emblem on the front, rear and side make the Chevy Camaro SS easy to recognize. In this great video we get a detailed look at an incredible 1968 Chevy Camaro SS that was originally purchased 36 years ago for only $600. It was restored from a beat up primer painted car, to a yellow mean machine seen at charity events and car shows. Watch the video to learn more about what went into restoring this amazing classic.
