Shirokiya was one of Japan\'s oldest companies, as well as the largest retailer during the early 20th century. In the 1950s, it was purchased by another Japanese corporation and began an expansion overseas, primarily in Hawaii. However, in 2001, the company was largely dissolved. Today, the only remnant of the original company is the Shirokiya department store in Honolulu, a division of Shirokiya Holdings, LLC, a United States-based corporation.

Patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and non-transfusion-dependent hereditary anemia develop predominantly liver iron-overload. We present a unique method allowing quantification of liver iron retention in humans during first-pass of 59Fe-labeled iron through the portal system, using standard ferrokinetic techniques measuring red cell iron uptake after oral and intravenous 59Fe administration. We present data from patients with iron deficiency (ID; N = 47), hereditary hemochromatosis (HH; N = 121) and non-transfusion-dependent hereditary anemia (HA; N = 40). Mean mucosal iron uptake and mucosal iron transfer (±SD) were elevated in patients with HH (59 ± 18%, 80 ± 15% respectively), HA (65 ± 17%, 74 ± 18%) and ID (84 ± 14%, 94 ± 6%) compared to healthy controls (43 ± 19%, 64 ± 18%) (p < 0.05) resulting in increased iron retention after 14 days compared to healthy controls in all groups (p < 0.01). The fraction of retained iron utilized for red cell production was 0.37 ± 0.17 in untreated HA, 0.55 ± 0.20 in untreated HH and 0.99 ± 0.22 in ID (p < 0.01). Interestingly, compared to red blood cell iron utilization after oral iron administration, red blood cell iron utilization was higher after injection of transferrin-bound iron in HA and HH. Liver iron retention was considerably higher in HH and HA compared to ID. We hypothesize that albumin serves as a scavenger of absorbed Fe(II) for delivering albumin-bound Fe(III) to hepatocytes.

A department annual report includes student statistics.
University departments are required to submit an annual report each year at an appointed time, usually at the end of an academic or fiscal year. An annual report reflects the activities, accomplishments and challenges of an academic department in a given year. It is used to report to the university and school, and as a means to gauge funding needs and goal progression. It can also be used as a marketing tool, to help solicit donations and federal or private funding. Formats vary, but the reporting information is fairly standard.
Form a committee comprised of staff and faculty who will contribute information or write sections of the department's annual report. For example, a fiscal staff member may supply information on grant funding or salaries. And the chair of the department may want to write about faculty accomplishments or concerns. Discuss what information needs to be included in the report and the deadlines that must be met. Write an outline that delineates the annual report information and who will be responsible for supplying what data. Assign one person to compile all the information and write the final annual report.
Center the title and date of the document. Insert a running page header, flush right at the top of each page (except for page one), with the title of the document followed by the page number.
Substitute your own headings for the ones above if your department or school has an annual report template.
Write the executive summary. Often written or outlined by the chair of the department, the executive summary includes the highlights of the previous academic or fiscal year. This section should be written in narrative form (not bullet points), and should include new initiatives, collaborative endeavors, activities focused on faculty and student retention, efforts focused on curriculum and student learning and opportunities, and development efforts.
Write your department's mission, which succinctly defines its educational and professional focus, in Mission and Program Goals. Then write your overall program goals, and indicate any changes in priorities since the last annual report.
Write an overview of how well your department met the program goals of the previous year under the Progress heading. In this section you can include a few paragraphs about how department strengths were leveraged and report any challenges that came up along the way. This is the section in which you can expound upon issues that were summarized in the executive summary. Write how well you supported the overarching goals of the school, college or division. Did the performance and accomplishments of your faculty and students enhance the reputation of the division? Include any interdisciplinary initiatives or collaborations that would enhance relationships with other divisions or institutions.
Write a brief strategic plan of how you will achieve your goals for the next year.
Include documents that support assertions made in your annual report, and any lists and statistics that will provide an accurate annual snapshot of your department faculty and student population, in the appendix. One example is a list of faculty, including rank, degrees held, professional service and honors. Student statistics are also usually included, including new students, graduates and diversity information. Also include a list of courses taught and any other supporting documents that might be relevant to the report.

Q: Get Top 20 Highest Sales Value in MS Access We have MS Access 2016 and I need to produce only the 10 top Highest Value of Sales of a listing that is created from a Query. This listing includes 4000 entries but I need to create a listing (To a Table with MS Access, or export to Excel).
Any type of Step by Step process is appreciated since I'm new in MS Access.

A: You can use a select top statement in conjunction with an order by clause to sort the dataset by the sales values, for example, something along the lines of:
select top 20 t.* from YourTable t order by t.Sales desc

Obviously you'll need to change YourTable & Sales to the names of your table & field respectively.

Children with developmental differences are behind their peers when it comes to regulating emotions. They often appear much younger in their behaviors - the tantrums continue long beyond the age you thought you'd find relief. Your child may appear to not be listening, or they may listen and seem to have heard something completely different from what you were saying. Your child may appear unaware of their surroundings, to the point of putting themselves or others in danger. They can have difficulty connecting with peers - they may find themselves left out of play, or even without time to play amidst the full schedule of OT, PT, and other supports. What often goes unseen is their potential. Children with developmental differences, and other neurological differences, see the world uniquely. They can be intensely creative, and can find ways to express this that assist them with making meaningful connections, managing intense feelings, and participating in life. Our therapists use any of a combination of creative arts therapy approaches, social engagement, and talk therapy to guide your child through this process.

TV Review: FX's 'Louie' Continues to Stun with Its Brilliance

CHICAGO – I've seen a lot of TV in the decade-plus I've been covering the medium (much less the decades before that when I was purely a fan) and I can very rarely say something like this — you've never seen anything like "Louie." The FX hit returns tonight on the network and reclaims its title as the best comedy on TV. If you haven't seen the first two seasons of the FX hit, the second of which was just released on Blu-ray and DVD, remedy that immediately (and they are both available streaming on Netflix) and prepare for a third season that's even more original, unpredictable, bizarre, and totally mesmerizing.
Television Rating: 5.0/5.0
"Louie" is a comedy made by a man who doesn't really care if you laugh. It's not the funniest show on TV. In fact, there are large chunks of the show that aren't designed to be funny at all — even more so in the five episodes I've seen of season three, which seem to be painted in more melancholic tones, than the first two years. And yet it's not overly dramatic either. One certainly couldn't call the second episode of the new season in which Louie gets set up with Oscar winner Melissa Leo dramatic in any way (other than the dramatic phone calls FX might receive after airing the raunchiest thing in basic cable history). The genius of "Louie" is how by not stressing the comedic or the dramatic, he has completely deconstructed his own form, incorporating elements of both genres and creating something new. Louis C.K. has taken the two-party system of television and delivered a true independent.
Louie: Episode 3.1

If you're familiar with "Louie," you'll know how unpredictable the show was last season. Broad comedy like the masturbation episode or a horrible casual sex encounter that turns into a crying mess sit in the same season as much darker material like the one in which Louie deals with a suicidal friend or takes a memorable trip to Afghanistan. The blend of the comically absurd, the remarkably average, and the once-in-a-lifetime stories has returned unblemished. The first five episodes include broad bits about how wonderfully awful Louie's kids are at telling jokes and the most uncomfortable sexual encounter in years alongside much deeper material like the two-part episode featuring Parker Posey that is very likely the best thing that has aired on TV so far in 2012. The two part episode (3.4 & 3.5) entitled "Daddy's Girlfriend" is a total work of genius and, in many ways, the peak of "Louie" in the way it blends romance, fatherhood, midlife crisis, comedy, drama, and an award-worthy performance from Posey as the kind of emotionally raw person who can sometimes find as much sadness in the world as she does pixie-esque joy. She's mesmerizing.
Louie: Season 2 was released on Blu-ray and DVD on June 19, 2012
The writing is still insanely strong but what one notices most of all about the third season of "Louie" is that C.K. has turned into a more confident and adventurous director. In 3.3, "Miami," he takes his cameras to the South Beach city and displays a very confident visual style (something that can almost never be said about TV comedy) as Louie finds a unique adventure off the beaten path of the common tourist. He's long gotten credit for his writing and recently for his acting. This season could be the one that advances his reputation as a director as well.
To be fair, the first episode of the new season is the most average of the five I've seen but every season of "Louie" has started off on a relatively low note (the second season premiere is basically just an extended fart joke). It's still good. Don't get me wrong. But it's the weakest of the five. But it's followed by the intense Leo episode and then we're graced with three weeks that comprise three of my favorite episodes in the history of the show. They're absolutely brilliant. I don't often say that about TV. But "Louie" is not your typical TV.
The second season of "Louie" was just released on Blu-ray and DVD and ranked #2 on my list of the best shows of 2011, second only to what I consider one of the best single seasons of any show in history ("Breaking Bad"). In other words, BUY IT.
Comedian Louis C.K. is back with another season of this critically acclaimed, Emmy-nominated hit. Spotlighting C.K.'s signature brand of twisted observational humor, Season Two follows the everyday trials of single dad Louie as he struggles to raise his kids, advance his career, and somehow get some action in the meantime. Facing one bummer after another, Louie takes on inattentive crowds, insane relatives, and a hair-raising U.S.O. tour of Afghanistan. Featuring a stellar array of guest stars including Joan Rivers, and Chris Rock, Louie: Season Two comes fully loaded with unrestrained deleted scenes and commentaries by Louis C.K.

Loved the review! I have to

Loved the review! I have to agree, this is the funniest thing on TV right now. Louis CK has shown through writing, directing, and editing the show himself, that besides being a genuinely hilarious comedian, he's also an amazing film-maker in his own right. I've been recommending this show to as many people as possible; my followers on Tweeter, everyone I know on Facebook; even the people in my Dish Co-Workers group. Everyone should watch this show. The new episode this week, when Louie attempts to visit his dad; there wasn't a better half hour of television on all week compared to that! Of course, I missed it when it aired doing an airport run, but luckily I was able to watch it through Dish Online, using my iPad at lunch. From Louie tripping over that DVD player to his Uncle X to Louie speed-boating off into the distance, the show is just one long, slow breath of fresh air. It is TV, perfected.

This is a deliciously easy breakfast that even Scott (who hates oatmeal) loves. And what I appreciate – it makes A LOT and we always have leftovers!
Many of our "sweet treat" recipes call for ripe bananas. By ripe, we mean those that are covered with brown spots (or nearly all brown). Ripe bananas provide some of the sweetness in the recipe. Using bananas that are not fully ripe will produce a less flavorful end product.
Soaking the oats overnight helps your body digest and absorb the nutrients more easily so you receive the greatest health benefits.
Looking for ingredients? Buy them here!
The night before, place oats in a large glass bowl. Fill with water until oats are covered. Stir in vinegar. Cover bowl and let sit on counter overnight.
The next morning, preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9 x 13 glass pan with coconut oil. Drain and rinse oats. In a large bowl, beat eggs with a mixer until frothy. Add remaining ingredients. Stir in oats. Pour into prepared pan and bake 45 to 60 minutes until edges are brown and center is firm.
VARIATION: To make a quick batch of oatmeal for 2 people, the night before, place 1 cup of rolled oats in a small bowl. Stir in 1 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Cover bowl and let sit on counter overnight. In the morning, bring 1 cup of water with 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium pan. (Sometimes we add chopped apples or raisins with a dash of cinnamon.) Add the soaked oats, reduce heat, cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with cream, milk, honey or maple syrup.
I thought I followed recipe but I couldn't get it done. I cooked an extra 30 min. Thought it was done and cooled it. Still really undercooked. Covered and cooked an additional 45 min amnd still not completely done.
Sorry to hear that. This baked oatmeal has a texture similar to stove top cooked oatmeal. Did you soak the oats overnight? Not soaking the oats could cause additional cook time.
LOVE this recipe! I've made it several times now and it's always a big hit with family and friends!

They stole 100 cars by applying to the phone
By Admin - 4/20/2019 01:02:00 PM
Chicago police have arrested 16 people accused of stealing more than 100 cars in the city by applying "Car2Go" to rent a car.
The city police explained that most of the cars had been returned but not yet arrived, according to the Motor One website.
Daimler, the owner of the Mercedes brand, has launched the Car2Go application, which allows users to rent Mercedes-Benz and Smart cars. These cars can also be opened via smartphones.
Car2Go has announced that there are no electronic breaches or theft of data for its users and has temporarily suspended its services in Chicago temporarily until investigations are completed.
The company confirmed that thieves used fraudulent methods not detected to steal cars and that user accounts on the application did not penetrate.

Q: react render variable undefined for some reason that i dont understand, i cant seem to fetch a state value in my renderer, at first i thought it was a scoping issue, but even after changing to var, my variable is undefined.
constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            stuff: {}
        };

 componentDidMount(){

            this.getatuff.then( (result) =>{
                    this.setState({
                        stuff: result.items[0]
                });
            });
        console.log('REACT Coveo component DOM loaded');

    }
    render() {
        var ReactMarkdown = require('react-markdown');
        var project = this.state.stuff;

        debugger;
        if(!Object.entries(project).length === 0){
            var asd = project.body[1].value; <---UNDEFINED
            return (

                    <ReactMarkdown source={asd} />

            );
        }

why is my Object array value undefined in the renderer?
Note: both const variables in the screenshot were changed to var, and the behavior persists.

A: You'd need to define state inside your class, or inside your constructor():
constructor(props) {
  super(props);

  this.state = {
    project: // something
  }
}

componentDidMount() {
  // etc.

A: It's not clear on your example what you're trying to achieve, but it could be one of these reasons:

*

*on your componentDidUpdate you have a typo in this.getatuff (I assume you're trying to say getStuff

*project seem to be defined on your renderer, your screenshot shows that it has a key id:5 and some others, but it might not have a key body or body might not be an array, or the array might contain only 1 value [0] instead of two values [0] and [1]. I suggest you to debug the structure of project to get the right value

A: You got syntax error here: if(!Object.entries(project).length === 0) it should be if (!(Object.entries(project).length === 0))
render() {
    var ReactMarkdown = require('react-markdown');
    var project = this.state.stuff;

    debugger;
    if (!(Object.entries(project).length === 0)) {
        var asd = project.body[1].value; <---UNDEFINED
        return (

                <ReactMarkdown source={asd} />

        );
    }

What's Worse: Biden's Secret Documents Scandal or His Staff's Embarrassing BS Replies?
Turn on the news any time of the day lately and you're likely to hear about Biden's debacle with classified documents. One thing that seems universal among the networks is the obvious attempt to carry water for the president.
But also universal are the bumbling, ludicrous attempts by Biden lackeys to justify what was the highest betrayal a month ago.
It was painful to watch the White House press briefings over the past week, as ignorant press secretary Karine Jean Pierre repeatedly made a fool of herself by answering questions from the press, while claiming to be "forthcoming" with information.
So, in what appeared to be an attempt to ease scrutiny of Mrs. Jean Pierre, the White House sent a relatively nameless lackey to avoid answering questions from the press.
The White House's response to Amateur Hour is perhaps even more alarming than Biden's apparent penchant for running off with classified documents.
So let's take a look at what the White House does or doesn't say, on that note.
Reporter: "How many secret documents are there in total?"
Boy Biden: "It's Complicated…" pic.twitter.com/UwxxEnOJxw

Ian Sams, the senior adviser to the White House counsel's office, has been doing the rounds on major news outlets to try to fool the public into believing they are getting answers to the most pressing questions regarding the mishandling of classified documents by the president.
The clip making the rounds on Twitter comes from a question from MSNBC:
"Can you give us an idea of how many classified documents we're talking about in total across all three locations?"
His answer was pure deflecting gold:
"Sure, it's a good question and actually the answer to it is a bit complicated…"
See how he confirmed that he could give us a feeling, but he never actually does. Instead, he insultingly informs the reporter that her question was indeed good, but that we're all too simple-minded to understand the answer, so we need to relax and let the process do its thing.

Mr. Sams gives the same excuse that Ms. Jean Pierre offered as to why we are not getting answers:
"I understand that there is tension between protecting and safeguarding the integrity of an ongoing investigation and making information public."
Aside from no tension, the Justice Department has placed no restrictions on what the White House can or cannot say about the investigation.
NBC News legal assistant Andrew Weissmann explains:
"There is nothing about a DOJ investigation that legally prevents someone under investigation from speaking publicly."
So one question remains unanswered: Why isn't the White House answering these relatively simple questions? Let's see what Mr. Sams said about some of the hot button topics that are on people's minds.

It's hard not to get frustrated when you look at the timeline of events when the White House likes to claim they've been completely transparent with the American people. The first documents were found on November 2. However, the public was only properly informed of the discovery after the midterm elections.
If you think a Republican would have received the same protection, I have a bridge to sell you in Vietnam.
When asked why the White House has waited so long to tell the public, Mr. Sams out:
"We want to make sure you and the public get the best possible complete information as part of this ongoing investigation."
Not telling us about the discovery was your way of making sure we had complete information? Ah, I see; withholding information is providing information; thanks for that word salad, you would make a great Minister of Truth.

Completely self-evident. If you're an elite member of society and especially a member of the Democratic Party, the rules and laws of the land don't really apply to you because you're super important.
Far more important than those pesky farmers who have lost their jobs and clearances for mishandling classified information, serving jail time, living in exile, or being raided by the FBI.

You can't just bully Mr. Sams for giving embarrassing non-answers; at least his was made slightly better than what we had seen before.
Poor Karine Jean-Pierre is under fire for declaring on January 12 that "the search is complete," but reports came out after more searches and more documents were discovered… from when the president was in the senate used to be.
oops. President Biden recently said of mishandling his documents:
"I think you'll find there's nothing there. I have no regrets."
Not one? You have at least one; I would say hiring Karine Jean-Pierre as your press secretary should be on the regret list.
Or maybe this gem from September when you told "60 Minutes" what your thoughts were after the Mar-a-Lago attack:
"How can someone be so irresponsible?"
pathetic attitude – @ianSams know that Biden's problems are worse than they would be if he hadn't seized and thrown on all of Trump's classified documents.

Just look at how the White House isn't answering questions right now.
As a White House reporter told UKTN News Digital about Karine Jean Pierre's accomplishments lately:
"It's very offensive to reporters, especially when she repeatedly says she answered a question when she clearly didn't."
Case in point: the heated argument between her and reporter Jon Decker who said she gave him a "non-answer":
"It's your opinion. It's your opinion. That's your opinion."
To which he skillfully replied:
"It is a fact."
But in our new world, facts are opinions and stories are facts.

STORIED STITCHES
By MARY JEAN PORTER THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
Potato harvest at Center is an unusual art theme, but Josie Lobato's "Las Papas" is a masterpiece in wool.
Lobato is a colcha artist who's been recognized by the State of Colorado and whose vivid embroidered memories of growing up in the San Luis Valley are displayed at the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center. Her colchas are one part of the "Transformers: Folk Art Recreated" exhibit in the King Gallery through May 16. The exhibit also shows old and new santos and contemporary Mata Ortiz pottery from Mexico.
Colcha is the name given to a particular embroidery stitch and it's also the name of the textiles produced using the stitch. The art form blossomed in northern New Mexico in the 19th century and was revived in New Mexico and Southern Colorado in the 20th. Traditional colchas showed floating designs of vines, leaves and other rather-abstract motifs, but the new ones like Lobato's offer a realistic embroidered slice of life.
"Most of what I do is sort of folklore, stories," says Lobato, 72. "They are connected to my life. They are traditions or legends, the folk stories I heard."
One of these, El Milagro de San Acacio, tells how the village women, an old man and the children were saved from an Indian attack through prayer.
"The old man and the little boy got everybody together in the center of town and they started to pray to San Acacio," Lobato relates. "As the (dust) cloud (and the approaching Indians) got closer and closer, the Indian chief reared up on his horse and then retreated. The Indian chief told a Catholic priest later when he was dying that he had seen a mirage in the sky - San Acacio and Spanish soldiers - and thought it was a big army and retreated."
Lobato's picture of the legend shows the blue sky, brown hills, the village's adobe buildings, the people kneeling at prayer, the Indians approaching on horseback and the cloud-like mirage of San Acacio and his "army" of soldiers.
Lobato said she researched San Acacio and the Spanish soldiers so they'd look authentic.
"This is usually how I put things together. I read books, I visit a museum, sometimes I take pictures."
In addition to the San Acacio legend and the Center potato harvest, Lobato's colchas on display depict the Penitentes, the churches of Costilla County, the 150th anniversary celebration of San Luis and a Hispanic wedding in a school gym complete with a "Go Wildcats" banner.
Lobato uses Persian wool on muslin cloth for her colchas, which average 30 by 30 inches, though she says the size is determined by the details she wants to include. She uses only the colcha stitch, which some needleworkers call couching.
She began colcha embroidery in 1988 when she was curator of the San Luis Museum.
"Father Pat (Valdez) offered a workshop there with an embroiderer from Chile. I was there for the historical society. I wasn't planning to get involved but I did. She (the instructor) wanted people to do their own designs. I did Fort Garland.
"I was into the historical end of it. My idea was to do stories, simply because I thought the traditions were disappearing."
Today Lobato lives in Denver.
"Josie's work is pure expression," says Suzanne MacAulay, an associate professor of art history at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs who has written about how colchas have changed over time. "Josie represents the revival in the �70s and �80s, the switch to depicting a pictorial narrative."
An earlier revival in the 1930s was centered in Carson, N.M., and produced colchas showing covered wagons, snakes, even bison.
"They were visual references to a way of life, but they didn't tell a story like Josie's," MacAulay says. "Hers are personal."
The old colchas were quite heavy, stitched with wool on both sides, designed to make bitter-cold winters in northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado a little warmer, MacAulay says. In addition to bed coverings, there were altar cloths and wall hangings. Colchas are quite rare today.
"In the early �90s, I was trying to find ones outside museum collections, in homes. I was tempted to advertise, but the problem was the term �colcha� would be interpreted in the Spanish-speaking community as �quilt.� It's a colloquial appropriation of a term over many years."
Nine traditional colchas, many of them examples of the Carson revival, are displayed in the King Gallery along with the modern embroideries.

Q9: Do you support strengthening minority and women-owned businesses through expanded federal programs?
Clinton: "I've said I want to be the "small business President" and particularly for women- and minority-owned businesses. We can't afford to leave anyone on the sidelines; we need everyone on the field. But too many women and people of color, and especially women of color, face challenges in starting and growing their businesses. I've been a long-time supporter of the New Markets Tax Credit, which my husband signed into law, and which has encouraged billions of dollars in private funding for community development and small businesses. We should reauthorize the credit and make it permanent. We should provide more technical assistance that most women and minority business owners can't afford to buy on their own, and build up local business networks that are so critical to giving owners the guidance, mentorship, and access to capital they need to grow and succeed.
We should also have ambitious goals at the federal and state levels, and ensure a level-playing field for women- and minority-owned businesses. As President, I would ensure that women- and minority-owned small business owners secure federal contracts.
This isn't a new fight for me. As Senator, I cosponsored the Minority Entrepreneurship Development Act to create an office within the Small Business Administration to monitor the services the agency is required by law to provide to minority-owned businesses and work to increase the proportion of loans made to minority-owned businesses and the share of federal contracts they receive."
Sanders: Yes. "If we are serious about rebuilding the middle class and reducing income and wealth inequality, we have got to unlock the economic potential of minority and women-owned businesses. I strongly believe we need to promote the talent of women and minority business leaders and foster the success of a new generation of entrepreneurs to expand the economy and create millions of new jobs. As President, I would expand access and opportunities for women and minority owned businesses to level the playing field and grow the economy in a fair way."
Carson: "My objective is seeing that businesses and business opportunity is accessible for people of all genders and ethnicities based upon their business credibility not gender or ethnicity. I believe in measurements and evaluations that yield real world positive outcomes."
Q10: Do you support expanding Small Business Administration funding for 8a, HUB zones and/or targeted set-asides for women?
Clinton: "I believe we must level the field for women-and minority-owned businesses and we need a vigorous approach. As President, I would emphasize SBA programs that have set-asides for women- and minority-owned businesses because I think we have to help people get their foot on the first rung of the ladder of economic opportunity. As Senator, I also worked to help small businesses, particularly small businesses that are minority businesses and women-owned businesses."
Sanders: Yes. "For too long, Wall Street has allowed billionaire executives to make decisions that negatively impact small businesses and the middle class. Beyond reigning in Wall Street, the government needs to do more to encourage and support small businesses and provide targeted set-asides for women. In 2012, and again in 2013, I co-sponsored the Small Business Lending Enhancement Act because small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and as President, I would expand the Small Business Administration to provide low-interest loans and grant opportunities to help small businesses thrive."
Carson: "Our objective should never be promoting programs; rather we must focus on expanding business opportunities. We all into a trap in assuming that a federal program resolves everything. The answer lies in creating a business environment in which all businesses can flourish, including those run by women."
Q11: Do you support tracking federal contracts by race/ethnicity and gender so that it will be possible to determine the share of federal contracts that Black and other women of color owned businesses receive?
Clinton: "I support collecting information that would help us track how we are doing in awarding federal contracts to minority and women-owned businesses, including women of color."
Sanders: Yes. "We, as a nation, cannot fix institutional and structural racism and sexism if we are not willing to measure its existence. We need to make sure every American has the opportunity to succeed and that can only be done if we're willing to look critically at where we're falling short as a country. I fully support the tracking federal contracts by race, ethnicity, and gender."
Carson: "I am not opposed to gathering demographic information on business owners because it increases our understanding of business trends. However, while working to expand opportunity for all American business owners, we must recognize the challenges of setting artificial ceilings or floors for business opportunity or activity based on non-business criteria."

This is a thick, rich soup full of tomato flavor. I wanted to make tomato-barley soup, but most of the recipes I found online contained chopped tomatoes which I just don't like the texture of. So I created this soup with things I had in my cupboard. If you want a less tomato-y taste, leave out a can of tomato paste and add extra soy milk at the end. You can also make it thinner with the soy milk. The seasonings are all to taste.
Mix everything together in a large pot up until the barley. Cook at a simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the barley and cook until tender. Add a dollop of margarine for richness and stir in some soy milk to thin the soup and make it creamy. Enjoy with lovely crusty bread.
That looks really thick and delicious!

Only these four tables.

A: So, one way to deal with this is to call the attribute in the parent table UNIQUE. This solves this error. However, as a side effect in my current experience, upon inserting into the database you may experience problems if your values are not unique (possibly obviously). But if you can guarantee uniqueness then just add Unique and you will be fine.
Unique specifies an attribute as a candidate key. Essentially it's saying this could have been the primary key, but we chose something else.

Why federalism for Isabel?
By Keynes Teama Ronia from Wellington, New Zealand
Thursday, 18 June 2009 05:56 AM
I am drawn to the question of Ysabel province becoming a state of its own from the letter titled 'Ysabel state' written by Drummond O from Suva in response to Ernest K. and I would like to share my perspective on the issue.
Personally I believe the issue of statehood is clearly misunderstood by those who are keen on seeing our lovely Island, Isabel province and many others of those who might follow on in the same lead, become a state. Before we assume solutions to our economical and political issues and problems faced in Solomon Islands and Isabel province today, let's decide first to understand what it means to be self governing and to be called a state in the sight of other nations.
To be self governing, encompasses an entirely different challenge altogether and is a totally different concept to manage along with a federal system in place. Those who wish to see Isabel province become a state should understand what "state" means, before taking another step on debating and deciding the issue of whether or not, statehood provides the solution for all our economic and political problems.
To be a state means to have a government in power that has the authority over a national population living in a specific area. It is a concept that asserts political, legal and administrative power centralized in a government.
When an Island like Isabel province becomes a state, that Island automatically becomes a nation. What this means for us seeing Isabel province as a nation is that it has the following; own constitution, own government that controls its own territories and guarantees the security of its citizens, maintains the rule of law, promotes human rights, provides effective governance and finally has a system in place that delivers public goods to its population such as economic growth, education, healthcare and etc. setting up a self governing system for the Island may not be easy as it seem for other Islands. To impose a federal system in place means, to bring established political communities in Isabel province with the wish to preserve their identity and to some extent, their autonomy in a legal, administrative system of authority. What this means for Isabel province is that, all the local communities and villages possessing a distinctive political identity and set of traditions, has to have the same responsibility and desire to say, our distinctive political identities along with our resources and set of traditions are to be preserved in this more centralized constitutional framework under this federal system.
Ultimately by discussing our ideas on the topic 'Ysabel state' there is a chance that what we might be saying indirectly, the current system in place governing our country Solomon Island, has failed to promote our human rights issues and also failed to provide us with the basic goods and services we need, the security we need, along with maintaining rule of law. This can also add up to say, our current constitution has failed us, from becoming entirely implicit towards addressing and solving the current issues and problems every single province is facing. Ultimately, ending up with the idea that federalism is the best approach at solving our economic and political problems.
However successful Isabel or any other province is, at managing its own resources and ensuring a steady growth in development, is not the only pointer to reflect upon, when considering establishing statehood and imposing a federal system or government. There is a lot of needs to be addressed, changes to be done that cannot be simply made overnight. People must be informed about the effects of statehood, new laws would have to be created, new political institutions set up, bureaucratic ways of ensuring accountability maintained, political control guaranteed against corruption along with deep public-service ethos respected and established. These are just some of the many factors to consider when pondering on the notion of statehood but the issue runs deep. However these issues are handled successfully by each province is not a concern for me here; the only issue I see that will create more problems for all our islands in the near future is that of wanting a federal system in place.
My personal opinion about the Isabel province state idea and the federal system idea is a question about whether or not our constitution has granted enough power for our smaller vulnerable provinces to be heard in broader political debates and equally recognized with their provincial neighbors, in the areas of wealth distribution and development. Seriously, this idea of wanting a federal system, can stem only from an institutional problem of responding equally to societal divisions and diversities, that our current government and those in the past have tried yet failed to address, when administrating the equal distribution of wealth, developmental packages and the maintenance of effective political control over our bureaucracy, in terms of maintaining high levels of transparency before the government and to the people.
I personally wouldn't want to blame our constitution for the need to establish a federal system of government. If our constitution has provided for the equal distribution of power for our smaller vulnerable provinces to be heard in broader political debates and recognized as equals with their provincial neighbors, in the areas of wealth distribution and development, then I see no reason why the constitution should be blamed for not responding entirely towards addressing issues at the local governments level in relation to those of national significance. Should this be the case then our constitution is not flawed but we as human beings identified with our own separate provinces, have cultivated a misconception of our neighboring Islanders when governments in the past and present take each island interests, needs and wants into consideration. Moreover, there could be a need for government officials to seriously evaluate their performance at carrying out their specific designated duties and orders. We should be asking these questions continually; is there a need for more political control over our bureaucratic officials or should we focus our attention to the unequal divides we may have felt or developed over the course of our country's development.
The most observable questions to consider could be the following; has our government been fair in its measures of distributing economic wealth to our respective provinces equally? Or is there a need for appointed officials to be in some way accountable to politicians who in turn are accountable to the general public? Or do bureaucrats themselves fail to keep their strict imposed professional standards and deep ingrained public service-ethos's, that they tend to entrench a lofty arrogance based on the belief that 'bureaucrats know the best'.
All these questions further point's to the problem of whether or not strong political control over bureaucrats is the key issue to be addressed here or that state actors themselves, have exercised the arbitrary use of power in causing the bad administration over resources, biased application of rules, failure to follow procedures or just simply incompetence.
Apparently the only obvious reason to imply the necessary use of a federal system is to ask ourselves the question; has our government in the course of distributing political and social wealth have been unfair towards each province respectively? The reason for why this question stands out to me, is because, geographically there is no reason to defend the idea of wanting a federal system based on major tribal religious language or even cultural differences. As a nation consisting of nine small provinces, we are so interconnected geographically, politically, historically, culturally and socially and thus as a result we should find complications at understanding one another. We as a people have to understand that due to the fact that we are small and interconnected, we should not be experiencing strong pressures for decentralization, because we have a constitution that fosters cooperation and understanding between national and provincial levels of government at addressing significant issues of importance that affect our daily lives.
Charles sisimia comments, on strengthening the relationship we establish between provinces and developing national unity in diversity, has to be supported seriously by political actors who are willing to see our nation and government accountable to our own constitution and people for the success of our future endeavors together as a nation. The approach to maintain unity and appreciate our diversity in expression is significant to address the issue of unequal distribution of wealth in the present, which may have fueled the idea for a federal system of governance. Our differences can be used as tools to help one another out of problems instead of tearing one another down and dividing us up further. It is in our best interest as a nation recovering from a recent ethnic unrest, to emphasis the need of not creating a future shaped by our own selfish desires based on our own political ambitions and personal gain and also, to not have the overconfidence in the resources each province possess, that eventually would run out if they were not properly managed in the future. Why we shouldn't base too much confidence in our resources is because this creates an environment for the discussion of a type of politics that can be detrimental to maintaining unity and peace from which I would like to call as ethnic politics.
However I do agree that, yes, we do need to decentralize wealth equally in order to broaden the scope of political participation and development and also to bring government closer to people. Indeed this would help to make political decisions more intelligible, ultimately fostering check and balances within the government, which is an effective means at restricting corruption on all levels of governance. This idea of 'detribalization' used by Lise Taheliohu Wate in her support for Andrew Noris stand on unifying Solomon Islands, should be taken seriously by all citizens of Solomon Island who wish to see progress other than territorialism in the future. However I will not support Lise in her overconfidence with Isabel's potential to become a state, because we are interconnected and highly dependent on each other. Not all circumstances for all provinces are the same. A recent example of our interdependence on one another as we saw just recently Gizo province, could not survive on its own during its Tsunami crisis, but in a lot of ways depended on other provincial support and help by people who saw the need to help others than the difference in ethnicity or the difference in political and economic standards of development. I also disagree with the idea that free movement of citizens must be regulated. This nation Solomon Islands for many obvious reasons have inter-ethnic marriages which can never prohibit future kids with multiple ethnic identities from going back home to their respective provinces simply because we live in a democratic country, that protects the freedom of individual rights to socialize, interact and identify with a province based on ones own preferences. We cannot allow to be regulated as well because of the different branches of Christian denominations spread around our country that provides the bridging of ideas and shared values amongst our own people. I do however acknowledge the need to reallocate squatering but I must admit that those who are squatering in our towns are also those who are able to influence MPs due to what we all want to call the power of 'wantok' connections which cannot be easily reformed by simply imposing a federal system. Again attention from the government must focus on the welfare society first before these fellow citizens of ours who we like to easily call squatterers, can elevate their sight towards achieving better dreams which would get them out of the poverty cycle and direct them to become self sustainable before they can be able to play a role as helpful useful citizens in terms of our nations development one way or the other. I also disagree to promote this idea of chiefs allocated with the appropriate powers to deal with their respective local communities in terms of maintaining law and order. Largely, due to the depressing need for money which distorts chiefs from maintaining the vision of a stable political community. Solomon Islanders moral will to keep Christian and even cultural values, have been prostituted in exchange for money nowadays in a lot of ways and I do not blame my respected fellow country men who are the chiefs, yet this form of hypocrisy cannot be tolerated anymore by titles of cultural significance. Respect nowadays for ordinary Solomon islanders is becoming an issue where money plays an important part in mutual relationships as opposed to loyalties to values of moral significance. Moreover, the issue of only suggesting malaita leaders giving attention to squatering should be an issue that all provincial leaders tackle together seriously, even those of Isabel province. It is true that such matters should be taken seriously by the government and the malaitan leaders, but to highlight malaitans specifically for the cause of squatters in Solomon Islands is not a good constructive approach to argue the case against a fully functioning federal system in the near future.
Given these few comments I would fully agree with Lise that to reconsider a federal state system would be the best option for Solomon Islands. I believe that the idea to have a federal system in place has been fueled by a frustration from provincial governments towards the national governments delays on prioritizing the provinces economic and political goals, in the process of central policy makings. This frustrating attitude adopted by all those provinces who wish to become states subsequently asserts a view about the government. This view portrays the central government to be favoring other provinces over others, thus creating diffusion and political competition from all provinces at considering an alternative system, the federal system, as a means to providing effective liberal democracy. How effective this system would be at creating a distinction between the relationship of a provincial state and a central federal governing system, allows for an equal opportunity to not only voice out and push up goals of individual provincial states on the federal agenda, but also to deal with the issue of equal distribution of economic development through the capacity of the self-governing provincial states themselves.
Personally I totally disagree with the idea of a federal system of government and I call upon leaders of our civil society to not support any agendas relating to the call for a federal system of government because the future implications for such an action far outweighs the costs. Should there be any criticisms to my perspective on this issue, I kindly ask that we attack the idea and not the person. Personally I believe the media should be a forum for healthy discussions on matters of state interests and as a young, aspiring political leader for my country Solomon Islands I call upon other aspiring leaders to join me in making Solomon islands a better place to be, by giving their opinions as we all grow together to be more politically active about decisions that would affect our future.

A woman who alleges rapper Snoop Dogg and another man sexually assaulted her nearly nine years ago has refiled her case in Los Angeles federal court, three months after she voluntarily withdrew the suit, according to court papers obtained Thursday.
The woman, using the pseudonym Jane Doe in the complaint, alleges the rapper and his "spiritual advisor" Bishop Don "Magic" Juan attacked her after a concert in Anaheim in 2013.
The woman voluntarily withdrew the suit in April and the judge dismissed the case in its entirety.
A representative for Snoop Dogg — real name Calvin Broadus — said at the time that the dismissal was not surprising since the complaint was "full of false allegations and deficiencies."
The claim for sexual assault and battery was refiled Wednesday.
The lawsuit was initially lodged in February, just before Snoop Dogg's Super Bowl LVI halftime performance, after attempts to settle the case out of court were abandoned
