Patriots Have Known All Along, The Exposure Will Destroy The [DS] – Episode 2271
September 8, 2020 September 18, 2020 x22report
The patriots have now set the trap, the elite, [CB] and corrupt politicians have now taken the bait and they have been trapped. The patriots have now exposed these individuals on how they don't care about the economy and the people. The [CB] has been brought down this path and there is no way out. The patriots have been planning the destruction of the [DS] for a long time. They only way to destroy them is through exposure. The more people see the more they understand, and once the people completely understand they can move forward with arrests and indictments and trials. The silent majority is no more, the people have the power.

Ron Paul Pans The Fed's "Brilliant Plan"… More Inflation And Higher Prices
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently announced that the Fed is abandoning "inflation targeting" It is an acknowledgment that the Fed is unlikely to reverse course and stop increasing the money supply anytime soon.
Contrary to what most "mainstream" economists claim, a general increase in prices is an effect — not a cause — of inflation. Inflation occurs whenever the central bank creates money. Increasing the money supply lowers interest rates, which are the price of money, distorting the market and creating a bubble (or bubbles) that provides the illusion of prosperity. The illusion lasts until the inevitable crash. Since the distortions come from money creation, the system cannot be "fixed" by just requiring the Fed to adopt a "rules-based" monetary policy.
. The crisis will likely be brought on by a rejection of the dollar's reserve currency status.
The question is not if the current system will end. The question is how it will end. If the end comes via a meltdown, the result will likely be chaos, violence, and increased support for authoritarian movements as desperate people trade their few remaining liberties in hopes of gaining security.
However, if pro-liberty Americans are able to force Congress to begin cutting spending — starting with the money wasted on militarism — and to move toward restoring a sound and sane monetary policy that includes ending the Federal Reserve, we can minimize an economic crisis and begin restoring limited constitutional government, a free-market economy, and respect for liberty.

Mark Meadows: 'Additional documents' spell 'trouble' for ex-officials in Durham investigation
Mark Meadows said he has seen "additional" documents that are pertinent to U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation.
"Additional documents that I've been able to review say that a number of the players, the Peter Strzoks, the Andy McCabes, the James Comeys, and even others in the administration previously are in real trouble because of their willingness to participate in an unlawful act and I use the word unlawful at best, it broke all kinds of protocols and at worst people should go to jail as I mentioned previously," Meadows said.

Zuckerberg is pushing the same thing MSM, DS players are pushing, the elections might be delayed, he's got no idea how federal elections really work. Remember it is the electoral votes that elect the president, all he needs is 270, if enough people vote in person before or on election day, this completely falls apart. I wonder if HCQ is going to come into play.

Kent: Trump's Foreign Policy Threatens Military Generals Who Prefer the Status Quo
To accomplish our national security objectives Trump prefers to use our economic power and negotiations as opposed to never ending wars and troop commitments. This commonsense and balanced approach to the use of our national power restores the military to its rightful place as a force for deterrence and limited decisive action.
Removing the military from this position of control is the retired Generals' main issue with Trump, he is limiting the military's power and influence.
So why are some generals aligning against Trump, they are losing power and they are trying to get it back, what power is that, money.
These Generals keep these endless wars going, they keep companies like lockheed, general dynamics boeing etc in businesses and when they are ready to retire they join the same companies.

Does this really have anything to do with the virus, it's about the 16 year plan.
People are waking up, those who are pushing the pandemic do not want anyone looking at countries that are not following protocol, lockdown, wear masks, its almost like a country without a private western central bank whos economy thriving.
Despite Shunning Lock Downs And Face Masks, COVID-19 Cases In Sweden Plunge
Sweden never mandated massive lock downs or enacted draconian face-mask laws, but the country now has one of the lowest infection rates in the world.
"Sweden has gone from being the country with the most infections in Europe to the safest one," Sweden's senior epidemiologist Dr. Anders Tegnell
"What we see now is that the sustainable policy might be slower in getting results, but it will get results eventually," Tegnell said. "And then we also hope that the result will be more stable."
Last week, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control said Sweden's infection rate stood at only 12 cases per million, compared to 18 in Denmark and 14 in Norway. The data shows that out of 2,500 randomly selected and tested Swedes, zero tested positive, compared to 0.9 percent positive in April, and 0.3 percent in May.
"We interpret this as meaning there is not currently a widespread infection among people who do not have symptoms," said Karin
In fact, the scientists say wearing masks may actually hamper the fight against virus.
"Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence," said Coen Berends, spokesman for Holland's National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. "There is no benefit and there may even be negative impact."

With Trump promising a COVID-19 vaccine 'very soon,' industry developers pledge to keep politics out of science
The heads of nine biopharmaceutical companies issued a letter pledging to fully vet their COVID-19 candidate vaccines before asking for federal approval to market them.
"We, the undersigned biopharmaceutical companies, want to make clear our on-going commitment to developing and testing potential vaccines for COVID-19 in accordance with high ethical standards and sound scientific principles," the statement said.
The statement comes amid increasing concern among public health officials, scientists and doctors that the White House might bring significant political pressure to bear on the Food and Drug Administration to approve a vaccine before the Nov. 3 presidential election.
"This letter appears to be in response to a growing fear in this country that the FDA might not do its job – specifically, to protect Americans from products that are unsafe or ineffective," said Dr. Paul Offit, a pediatrician and vaccine expert at the University of Pennsylvania. "

https://www.britannica.com/topic/SA-Nazi-organizationSA-Nazi-organization" target="_new" title="archive" id="archive_today">
SA, abbreviation of Sturmabteilung (German: "Assault Division"), byname Storm Troopers or Brownshirts, German Sturmtruppen or Braunhemden, in the German Nazi Party, a paramilitary organization whose methods of violent intimidation played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power.
The SA was founded in Munich by Hitler in 1921 out of various roughneck elements that had attached themselves to the fledgling Nazi movement. It drew its early membership largely from the Freikorps (Free Corps), armed freebooter groups, made up largely of ex-soldiers, that battled leftists in the streets in the early days of the Weimar Republic. Outfitted in brown uniforms after the fashion of Benito Mussolini's Fascist Blackshirts in Italy, the SA men protected party meetings, marched in Nazi rallies, and physically assaulted political opponents.the SA was reorganized in 1925 and soon resumed its violent ways, intimidating voters in national and local elections
Then: methods of violent intimidation deployed by SA
Now: methods of violent intimidation deployed by Antifa? SAME
The Antifa of the 1930s was the paramilitary military wing of Germany's Communist Party (KDP).
Then: battles raged in the streets [book burning, flag burning, destruction, hate, anti-police, etc]
Now: battles raging in the streets controlled by [D] party sympathizers [anti-republic]? sAME
Then: physical assaults of political opponents
Now: physical assaults of political opponents?
Then: voter intimidation in National and local elections
Now: voter intimidation in National and local elections [coming 11.3]?
Then: project anti-fascist platform: reality: conform/obey strong-arm tactics deployed to silence opposing views
Now: project anti-fascist platform: reality: conform/obey strong-arm tactics deployed to silence opposing views?
Then: radical anti-capitalistic platform (socialism)
Now: radical anti-capitalistic platform (socialism) push?
Then: force economic destruction as recruiting [division] tactic to drive enlistment rate
Now: [D] party gov/mayor(s) close state(s) force economic hardships [C19]?
Then: SA carried out unchecked street violence against Jews and Nazi opponents
Now: [D] gov/mayor(s) carried out unchecked [deliberate non_prosecution orders 24-hour release] of Antifa rioters arrested [street violence – block-by-block takeover(s)]?
[D] gov/mayor(s) release of violent criminals [many thousands] from prison(s) under guise of C19?
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-propaganda
In 1924, Adolf Hitler wrote that propaganda's
"task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly."
Following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry's aim was to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press.

Background of Soros?
1. Soros is a convicted felon. Soros was convicted of insider trading in France in 2002, a court determining that he had "acted with the knowledge that the bank might be a takeover target," according to Bloomberg. The court ordered Soros to pay 2.2 million euros, or $2.9 million, in restitution.
2. Soros comes from an anti-Semitic Jewish family and was a Nazi collaborator. "My mother was quite anti-Semitic, and ashamed of being Jewish," Soros said in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes. "Given the culture in which one lived, being Jewish was a clear-cut stigma, disadvantage, a handicap-and, therefore, there was always the desire to transcend it, to escape it."
Soros later said in the interview that he did not feel any remorse "about confiscating property from Jews as a teenager."

Keep faith in Humanity.
Keep faith in Yourself.

The song in this drop, "On the Nature of Daylight", is from British producer/composer Max Richter's album "The Blue Notebooks". "Richter composed The Blue Notebooks in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He has described it as "a protest album about Iraq, a meditation on violence – both the violence that I had personally experienced around me as a child and the violence of war, at the utter futility of so much armed conflict." The album was recorded about a week after mass protests against the war.

Q: How to make JSON array string to newline string in js? In React I'm trying to render the JSON data I'm getting from the server to readable data.
Here is the string from the server
"[{\"mat_type\":1,\"mat_title\":\"Title1\",\"mat_unit\":2,\"mat_price\":44000,\"mat_cost\":2000},{\"mat_type\":2,\"mat_title\":\"Title2\",\"mat_unit\":2,\"mat_price\":44000,\"mat_cost\":2000},{\"mat_id\":1,\"mat_title\":\"Title\",\"mat_unit\":2,\"mat_price\":4400,\"mat_cost\":2000,\"mat_status\":0}]"

I want to make it readable data with newline and spacing on it.
Here is my quick function
<Typography>
  {{JSON.parse(item.api_text).map((item) => {
    console.log(item);
    return `<br>${JSON.stringify(item, null, '\t')}</br>`;
  })} }
</Typography>

Here item.api_text is the string above.
I know this will create error but I want something like this. Thanks
Edit:
I want to display it like this on document not in console.
[{
    "mat_type": 1,
    "mat_title": "Title1",
    "mat_unit": 2,
    "mat_price": 44000,
    "mat_cost": 2000
},
{
    "mat_type": 2,
    "mat_title": "Title2",
    "mat_unit": 2,
    .....

A: try this
var json="[{\"mat_type\":1,\"mat_title\":\"Title1\",\"mat_unit\":2,\"mat_price\":44000,\"mat_cost\":2000},{\"mat_type\":2,\"mat_title\":\"Title2\",\"mat_unit\":2,\"mat_price\":44000,\"mat_cost\":2000},{\"mat_id\":1,\"mat_title\":\"Title\",\"mat_unit\":2,\"mat_price\":4400,\"mat_cost\":2000,\"mat_status\":0}]";

create html
 <Typography id="json" style= "white-space: pre-wrap;">
</Typography>

output
[
    {
        "mat_type": 1,
        "mat_title": "Title1",
        "mat_unit": 2,
        "mat_price": 44000,
        "mat_cost": 2000
    },
    {
        "mat_type": 2,
        "mat_title": "Title2",
        "mat_unit": 2,
        "mat_price": 44000,
        "mat_cost": 2000
    },
    {
        "mat_id": 1,
        "mat_title": "Title",
        "mat_unit": 2,
        "mat_price": 4400,
        "mat_cost": 2000,
        "mat_status": 0
    }
]

A: guys thanks to @evolutionxbox i've found a way to do this in react.
here inside my react component. pre works very well in preserving the next line.

              {JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(item.api_text), null, 3)}

Another alternative, style can be given to the tags known as white-space: 'pre-wrap', Thanks to @Serge. I've used  to make it look better
          <Typography id='json' style={{whiteSpace: 'pre-wrap'}}>

              {JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(item.api_text), null, 3)}

          </Typography>

Discussion of facts versus fiction when buying garage floor tiles.
Do you need to order a whole tile as a sample to get a good feel for the tile? Absolutely no. We send out a small piece of the tile and as soon as you put it into your hand you can tell that our tiles are head and shoulders above the other popular tiles that send you a full a tile as a sample. If you're using cheap recycled materials and the tiles cost you only a dollar to make or import from China then yea you can send out free full tiles. Our tiles are very costly to make cause of the high quality PVC we use plus they weight 4.5 lbs each as compared to a few ounces of a typical Polypropylene tile. So shipping our tile is much more expensive. Our tiles are very competitively priced for what you are getting. Meaning are margins are very tight as compared to tiles that cost a dollar to manufacture and sell for not much less than our 100% solid PVC tiles.
So don't get fooled or impressed by anyone just because they sent you a full tile. Instead concentrate on what it is you're getting as a tile. Is it hollow, is it solid, is it PVC or Polypropylene, does the tile have full perimeter locking tabs or just a few Peg and Loop connectors on each side. Big difference! Peg & Loop connections stink. They make popping noises as your car drives over them, they break off as you install them, they break off if your floor is the slightest bit un-level(and what floor is 100% level?), they stretch and start to split apart creating large unsightly seams that get filled with all sorts of crud that is next to impossible to clean out.
So instead of worrying about the sample you get focus on the quality difference and figure out which tile is going to look new 5, 10 or 20 years from the day you install them. It won't be a hollow polypropylene tile with Peg & Loop connections.
There seems to be as much misinformation about garage tiles as there are different types of tiles. We'll go over a couple facts here and let you decide on what your money is best spent on.
First lets talk about the two main types of tiles, hollow core tiles and solid core tiles. Hollow core are exactly what they sound like. They have a thin wear surface and are completely hollow underneath versus a solid tile that has no hollow spaces. This image clearly shows the difference.
As you can see the top tile is hollow while the bottom tile is completely solid. It's easy to figure out which is the stronger tile and which one will last longer.
Next is the different types of material the tiles are made from. First thing we would strongly suggest is you find out where the tiles you are considering to buy are made. Lots of tiles on the market are coming from China. They look similar to our tiles but are very different. First you have no idea what they are made of and what type of filler products are in them. Think Chinese drywall. Our Garage Tiles are made right here in the USA . Plus we only use materials originating in the USA. So beware of tiles that are made here but use Chinese materials.
So leaving out the Chinese factor, the two main materials used are Polypropylene and PVC. Polypropylene tiles are basically recycled soda and water bottles. Very cheap material otherwise known as ABS plastic. When home builders want to cut corners they have their plumbers install ABS plastic instead of PVC. PVC is a far superior material and correspondingly more expensive. So if you are comparing PVC tiles to Polypropylene tiles it's the proverbial apples to oranges comparison. You can double that comparison when comparing hollow polypropylene tiles to solid PVC tiles to an apples and crackers comparison.
Another myth is that if you drive smaller vehicles and only go straight in and out of your garage you don't need a quality tile. We say that's nonsense. In anything in life you buy, you get what you pay for. Those polypropylene tiles you think you saved money on will end up costing you more than you think and not just in dollars but in dissatisfaction down the road. They damage easily, they're brittle and crack easily, they expand and contract more to the point they pull apart or buckle, they make loud click clack noises when you walk on them. All the above have nothing to do with the vehicle you drive or whether you drive straight or zig zag. Oh and by the way who drives perfectly straight in and out of anything. As soon as you turn your wheel the slightest bit you are stressing and stretching those Peg & Loop connections.
We used to sell hollow polypropylene tiles but they were so problematic we stopped. If you are doing a commercial or industrial application don't even think about polypropylene tiles! Even though those types of tiles are heavily marketed they are inferior in quality and prone to failures.
In sum it makes no difference in the car you drive or in what direction you drive, you want to buy a solid quality tile that will be worry free and indestructible.
More facts and fiction on garage tiles in a future post.

MOVING USGS HAWAIIAN VOLCANOES OBSERVATORY to Oʻahu "doesn't seem to make a lot of sense," said Sen. Mazie Hirono to U.S. Interior Secretary Nominee David Bernhardt during a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing in Washington, D.C. yesterday.

edge of Halemaʻumaʻu. USGS photo
Hirono reports discussions on a new HVO facility on Oʻahu, which would relocate scientists who monitor four active Hawaiian volcanoes: Kīlauea, Mauna Loa, Hualālai, and Haleakalā.
U.S. Geological Survey monitored Hawaiʻi's volcanoes from the rim of Halemaʻumaʻu crater at Kīlaueafor almost a century. Last year, daily earthquakes shook Kīlaueacaldera. Its walls fell in, undermining the integrity of the HVO building. After monitoring from the summit since 1924, scientists moved.
Hirono told the interim Interior Secretary, "We obviously need to rebuild the facility." She urged him to keep it where "there are active volcanoes.
"I would want to have your commitment that you will listen to the Congressional delegation as well as local stakeholders to put this observatory where the eruptions will likely occur," Hirono told Bernhardt.
"I have to say, I will absolutely look into that," Bernhardt replied.
Concluded Hirono, "Let's do things that make actual common sense."
In the Volcano community, some residents suggested the damaged HVO building, which also held Hawaiʻi Volacnoes National Park's JaggarMuseum, be retained as an historic remnant and illustration of the 2018 eruption.
The U.S. Department of the Interior oversees both USGS and the National Park Service, which manages Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

SECURING AMERICA'S ELECTIONS ACT was reintroduced on March 28 by Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard said the bill would address the "extreme vulnerabilities" within our nation's elections infrastructure, "leaving voters susceptible to potential hacking and manipulation of votes." It would require the use of voter-verified paper ballots or a paper ballot backup in federal elections that if needed, can be audited and counted by hand, optical scanner, or similar device. The bill would establish voter-verified paper ballots as the correct record of the total votes cast, in the event of any inconsistencies or irregularities between electronic and paper vote tallies. The bill also includes language addressing open-source technology "to further strengthen our elections infrastructure."
Said Gabbard: "The American people need to have faith and trust in America's elections infrastructure and that the votes they cast will be counted. My bill ensures our upcoming elections are hack-proof by providing the American people with an auditable, reliable, paper record of their votes, protecting against anyone who seeks to manipulate or change the outcome of our elections. Congress must act now to protect our votes and our democracy by passing this legislation."
Aaron Scherb, Director of Legislative Affairs with Common Cause, said the organization appreciates Gabbard's efforts to "secure our elections against malicious attacks." He said the act would "help prevent foreign entities from trying to undermine our democracy."
According to the Department of Homeland Security, 21 U.S.states' electoral systems faced attempted hacking in the 2016 election. Shortly after, at the world's longest-running and largest hacking conference, DEFCON 25 revealed startling cyber vulnerabilities in US election infrastructure. In 2017, during an Oversight Committee hearing, Gabbard highlighted Virginia's move to a voter-verified paper ballot system following the DEFCON revelations. She reports the Virginia Department of Elections stated they did not receive a single complaint questioning the integrity of the 2017 election and produced the highest voter turnout in two decades. DEFCON also released a new report detailing further vulnerabilities and the need for public funds to address them.
The Securing America's Elections Act would complement other legislative efforts supported by Gabbard "to protect and promote voter enfranchisement," including the voting rights provisions in H.R.1 the For the People Act of 2019, H.R.51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, and H.R.645, the Automatic Voter Registration Act.

FAULTING AT HALEMAʻUMAʻU crater gives opportunities for examination of 19th century lava flows. Find out why this is causing excitement for geologists in this week's Volcano Watch, written by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists and affiliates:
New outcrops make good geology.
A good field geologist is an opportunist. Never content with what outcrops are available, she jumps at the chance to see another one, hoping that it will provide a better understanding to some question about what happened in the past. But it isn't every day that new outcrops are created, and rarer still when they are on the scale of those formed during the faulting of Kīlauea Volcano's caldera floor in summer 2018.
As Halemaʻumaʻu sank and widened, its crater wall began to expose lava flows that formed during earlier eruptions and were covered by later flows. In particular, the north side of Halemaʻumaʻu bites some 500 m (1640 ft) deeper than before, potentially making accessible lava flows that erupted and gradually filled the caldera early in the 19th century.
In addition, the faults that bound the down-dropped sector of the caldera exhumed the south sulfur bank and expose lava flows not previously observed by scientists.
Aerial view of the western part of Kīlauea's caldera, taken Aug. 6, 2018. The down-dropped block is faulted about 120 m
(400 feet) below the caldera floor. Many 19th century lava flows are exposed in the fault scarps.

Why are these new outcrops so important? Aaron Pietruszka, USGS scientist and former University of Hawaiʻi graduate student, and his UH adviser, Mike Garcia, discovered gradual changes in the chemical composition of Kīlauea lava with time, starting before the 19th century and continuing to the present. The number of lava flows that could be sampled from the 19th century itself was, however, very small.
Chemical and isotopic analysis of 19th-century caldera fill exposed in the high wall of Halemaʻumaʻu and adjacent faults will augment and refine their startling finding. It won't be easy to do the sampling, though, because a lot of rocky rubble mantles much of the wall, possibly obscuring some flows. But it needs to be done before lava returns to Halemaʻumaʻu.
The faults cutting the caldera floor may reveal details about the 19th century caldera fill that have long eluded geologists. Maps and sketches of the floor made at various times show wide, multiple lava lakes and probably several editions of "black ledges" adjacent to the lakes.
How deep were those lakes? Were they merely shallow ponds and bays no more than a few tens of meters (yards) deep, or were one or more of them so deep that they connected with the magma reservoir perhaps 1 km (0.6 mi) or more deep?
The new exposures provide cross-sections through some of the 19th century caldera fill. These cross-sections can be examined to look for the margins and floors of ancient lava lakes, spills from those lakes, eruption conduits, and other features leading to a greater understanding of how the caldera was filled.
Thick explosive deposits formed between about 1500 and the early 1800s are exposed high on the south wall of Halemaʻumaʻu, covered only by one or two younger lava flows. Binocular observations of the lower north wall of Halemaʻumaʻu, several hundred meters (yards) below the caldera floor, have not seen any explosive deposits. Yet the explosive debris must have fallen into the caldera as well as around it.

northeast talus wall in Halema'uma'u. The view is from the

If the binocular observations are correct, then the explosive deposits must be buried still deeper than the base of the north wall. That would imply that the deposits formed when the caldera was very deep, as geologists have hypothesized but never documented. This interpretation badly needs boots-on-the-ground checking, because the binocular observations alone are inconclusive.
The news isn't all good. Shaking during the more than 60 large earthquakes last summer caused rockfalls along the west side of the caldera that buried at least one outcrop of explosive deposits more than 1000 years old. Luckily, those deposits had already been sampled.
For a tantalizing time, a much larger outcrop of these old deposits reappeared in the caldera wall as the caldera floor dropped; this outcrop is shown in a photograph taken a few years before the 1919 lava flow covered it. But gradually throughout the summer 2018, this exhumed outcrop became stranded and inaccessible as the caldera floor sunk below it. Perhaps a way will eventually be found to study this superb outcrop.
Summer 2018 gave field-focused geologists lots to do and think about in Kīlauea Volcano's caldera. With new samples and first-hand observations, their work will build on what is already known or surmised and help us better understand the caldera and how its 19th-century activity differed so much from that of the past 100 years.
Volcano Activity Updates
Kīlaueais not erupting. Rates of seismicity, deformation, and gas release have not changed significantly over the past week.

Sophomore awarded prestigious Fulbright-Hays scholarship to study in China
Nicolae Dorlea '17 will spend eight months studying in China as a Fulbright-Hays scholar. Photo by Jordan Thomas '15.
Nicolae Florin Dorlea '17 knows the value of opportunity.
Born in Romania, the international relations and East Asian studies double major says he used to dream about coming to America. "At the time, I couldn't think of anything better," he says.
He got the chance at age 9, moving to the United States with his family. He quickly learned English and committed himself to his education. He loved learning a different language and culture, and soon decided he had to know more about the whole world.
In high school, Dorlea studied French and also took an introductory Chinese course that included a three-week trip to China. He vowed to go back.
Next month, he will. Dorlea is one of only 16 students selected to participate in the highly prestigious Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad Advanced Chinese Immersion Program through the China Program Center at UMass Boston. The program, a fully funded semester-long Chinese language immersion program, includes 19 weeks of study at Shaanxi Normal University, a two-week homestay with a host family during the Chinese New Year celebration and a six week internship at Xi'an High Tech Industries Development.
"I'm really looking forward to gaining inter-continental business experience," says Dorlea, who hopes to become a diplomat and is particularly interested in intercultural exchange and cross-cultural negotiations. "I also want to be as close to fluent as possible, because the fun part starts after you've gained fluency in the language."
As a first-year student at Connecticut College, Dorlea enrolled in "China and Global Modernity" with Associate Professor of Chinese Yibing Huang. Through the course, he learned about Chinese art, poetry and modernization from a cultural, self-expressionistic perspective. He was hooked.
"Chinese culture is so different and unique, and everyone wants to define it," says Dorlea. "China is very liberal, just not our kind of liberal."
Dorlea, who speaks English, Romanian, French and some Spanish, knows that to really study a culture, you have to know the language, so he quickly enrolled in Professor Amy Dooling's "Intensive Elementary Chinese" course. He is now taking "Intensive Intermediate Chinese I" with Professor Tek-wah King.
"Professors Dooling and King have really helped me build a foundation for the future," Dorlea says. He adds that King's course has been particularly interesting, as he breaks down each character to teach students their history and composition.
"He takes learning Chinese to another level by helping us understand how different parts contribute to the entire meaning of the word or character we are studying," Dorlea says. "It brings you closer to the language and makes studying more intimate and worthwhile."
King and Dooling have been equally impressed with their student. King describes Dorlea as "innately driven," with "an open and creative mindset, robust energy level and leadership potential."
"Nicolae is among the brightest, most globally aware, and inter-culturally sensitive students I've taught at Connecticut College," adds Dooling. "He combines intelligence with a genuine curiosity and worldliness; he strives to make connections between the different areas of his learning and, always, to clarify the relevance of what he studies to his own life and experience."
This year, Dorlea was selected as Chinese Language Fellow and charged with organizing co-curricular and extracurricular events. The position is typically awarded to seniors or native speakers, but Dorlea "has emerged as a stellar student and campus leader, and serves as effective bridge between different student groups," says Dooling.
Dorlea set the tone for the year within the first two weeks of classes, King says, when he brought to campus a local Tai Chi instructor specializing in Hung Ga Kuen, a southern Chinese martial arts style.
Such opportunities for engagement are important for students, says Dorlea, who was particular inspired by one such event last year. Wang Zong Ying, president of the Ningbo Road Corporation and the only female on China Business Magazine's list of top 10 managers in China, came to campus for a dinner discussion with students.
"I had a very involved conversation with her," Dorlea says. "She told me there is no way to fulfill my passion for Chinese business and politics without living in China. That night I knew traveling to China was a must."
Dorlea will be in China with the Fulbright-Hays program through August. It won't be the first time he has traveled abroad since arriving at Connecticut College. He was awarded the College's Margaret King Moore '54 and Thomas R. Moore Yale '54 Endowed Travel Fellowship at the end of last year and spent the summer in France conducting interview-based research about the relationship between French music and society.
Dorlea says he has been inspired by the relationships he has built at Connecticut College and the support of the community. "Everyone is held to a really high standard, and everyone is an inspired activist," he said of his fellow students. "There's a certain momentum you feed off of. It's a family here, and people really support you."

Controversy[ edit ] Anthropologist Helen Fisher in What happens in the dating world can reflect larger currents within popular culture. For example, when the book The Rules appeared, it touched off media controversy about how men and women should relate to each other, with different positions taken by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd [58] and British writer Kira Cochrane of The Guardian.
Sara McCorquodale suggests that women meeting strangers on dates meet initially in busy public places, share details of upcoming dates with friends or family so they know where they'll be and who they'll be with, avoid revealing one's surname or address, and conducting searches on them on the Internet prior to the date.

Mar 26, 16 comments You can not advance unless you are under 25 – 30 years of age at lowe's. People over the age of 40 are constantly being written up inorder to get them fired and they also have great work ethics. They love to advance the 25 – 30 year age group, because they do not know any better and will follow them like a love sick puppy dog and kiss their. This age group will believe every lying word as if it was the bible. They also basically get away with murder. Most of them are not dependable, by blowing off work.
They rather talk to other co-workers in their age group, then do what they are paid to do.
I did it almost 20 years ago. But no one told me about the glass trapdoor — that was the shock nothing in my stellar career had prepared me for. I simply hadn't realised that in the modern workplace, 50 is considered old. This is not a unique story.

If there is direct evidence that pregnancy-related animus motivated an employer's decision to deny a pregnant employee light duty, it is not necessary for the employee to show that another employee was treated more favorably than she was. The employee's supervisor is aware that the employee is pregnant and knows that there are light duty positions available that the pregnant employee could perform.
Nevertheless, the supervisor denies the request, telling the employee that having a pregnant worker in the workplace is just too much of a liability for the company. It is not necessary in this instance that the pregnant worker produce evidence of a non-pregnant worker similar in his or her ability or inability to work who was given a light duty position. Green [97] in order to establish an intentional violation of the PDA where there is direct evidence that pregnancy-related animus motivated the denial of light duty.
Absent such evidence, however, a plaintiff must produce evidence that a similarly situated worker was treated differently or more favorably than the pregnant worker to establish a prima facie case of discrimination. According to the Supreme Court's decision in Young v. Once the employee has established a prima facie case, the employer must articulate a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for treating the pregnant worker differently than a non-pregnant worker similar in his or her ability or inability to work.
Young explains that [t]he plaintiff may reach a jury on this issue by providing sufficient evidence that the employer's policies impose a significant burden on pregnant workers, and that the employer's "legitimate, nondiscriminatory" reasons are not sufficiently strong to justify the burden, but rather-when considered along with the burden imposed-give rise to an inference of intentional discrimination. The request was not granted because the police department had a policy limiting light duty to employees injured on the job.
Therefore, Leslie was required to use her accumulated leave for the period during which she could not perform her normal patrol duties. In her subsequent lawsuit, Leslie proved that since substantially all employees denied light duty were pregnant women, the police department's light duty policy had an adverse impact on pregnant officers.

For 18 years I was the social issues journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald. Now, in Coming of Age I explore how my generation is meeting the challenge of getting older.
As more jobs are advertised and applied for online, evidence is mounting that it is easier to discriminate against older workers. Even though all had similar skills, older candidates received far fewer callbacks than young or middle-aged workers. The ADEA and other laws helped, but employers who prefer younger workers have found new tactics.
For example, many online applications use drop-down menus that go back only to the s, effectively screening out anyone who graduated or had work experience before those dates. Four years ago, at age 50, Steve Rabin applied for an accounting job at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Despite having more than 10 years of experience as a certified public accountant, the Fremont, Calif.
And the online application also required answers to questions that made it easy to identify and reject older applicants.

Are Older Online Daters Ageist? Her clients range in age from 22 to 72 — with more on the older side. One of those is ageism. What she wrote piqued our interest, so we checked in with her by phone to learn more. Ageism is like the elephant in the room when it comes to online dating. But you know, everyone ages, everyone gets wrinkles, everyone has baggage. You have to look at people as individuals. Although plenty of men out there are looking for someone their own age, and some women think men their own age are too old, it is more often men who are looking for someone younger.
For whatever reason, social norms say that the man should be older — but why? Men looked at the picture about 80 percent of the time. Women looked at the profile and picture about 50— Does it matter if the guy is younger? Ultimately, everyone is entitled to his or her own preferences. What it really comes down to in the end is compatibility.
But one popular dating service is tracking users' age to charge older singles more for their quest to find love—or even a short-term hookup. In an attempt to monetize its wildly popular matchmaking mobile app, Tinder has rolled out Tinder Plus, a feature that allows users new perks—like taking a second look at the one who might've gotten away with a hasty, accidental swipe.
The increased fee for users above a certain age is inciting an online debate about age discrimination from singles who don't think they should have to pony up more money for the same perks. Writer Marci Robin declared she was quitting Tinder because of what she called "blatant ageism" in an essay published Tuesday on xojane.
Robin's not alone in her outrage.

Toward a sociology of stature", presented at the meeting of the American Sociological Association in It showed that increase in height for men corresponds to increase in income after controlling for other social psychological variables like age and weight. They also found that men's wages as adults could be linked to their height at age The researchers found that on an average an increase in height by one inch at age 16 increased male adult wages by 2.
In other words, the height and corresponding social experiences of taller male adolescent at age 16 would likely translate to higher wage in later adulthood as compared to shorter male adolescent. For example, several epidemiological studies have shown a statistically significant positive correlation between height and intelligence in human populations.
However, this correlation, though statistically significant, is generally weak and does not imply that variations in stature have a direct effect on cognitive ability. Though significant correlations have been found in early and late childhood in both developed and developing countries, in adults, changes in environment and social status reduce the strength of this correlation.

Ageism, also called age discrimination, is when someone treats you unfairly because of your age. It can also include the way that older people are represented in the media, which can have a wider impact on the public's attitudes.
Share this article Share The change is being considered by the health rationing watchdog, the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence Nice. Its current guidance says that infertile women aged between 23 and 39 should be offered three cycles of IVF treatment free on the NHS, but many primary care trusts cannot afford to fund that many.
A Nice committee is currently reviewing all its guidelines to ensure they comply with the Equality Act, passed in the last year of the Labour government. It placed on the NHS and other public bodies a new duty to ensure that no one is discriminated against on grounds of age. It says women should get three cycles of IVF, in other words three attempts at treatment.
But the guidance is not mandatory, and individual NHS trusts may decide not to implement it in full. Some primary care trusts have restricted access to fertility treatment, either by saying women can only have one or two cycles, or bringing down the maximum age. It has led to a huge postcode lottery, with just 30 per cent of PCTs offering three cycles. Some 23 per cent offer two and 47 per cent – almost half – give infertile couples only one chance.
Nice is also considering how to ensure that lesbians and single women have the same rights as heterosexual couples for treatment if they are thought to be infertile, and whether to end rules denying treatment to those whose partners have children. Final decisions about changing IVF rules will not be made until Clare Lewis-Jones, chief executive of the Infertility Network, said: Age is still the number one factor which determines fertility.
It is very unfair at the moment.

Get ready to puke. For the first 7 years this worked really well, I got the site to 10 million users without any employees and POF was generating a ton of relationships. So far, so good. Around 3 years ago, everyone started using the website via mobile phones. Um… Wait a minute. Men just started using POF as a hookup site? Just in the last three years? Because of cell phones? Markus, are you and I talking about the same POF?
POF has been the go-to site for hookups for many, many years. People were using it this way before anyone was playing around with OKCupid. Markus, are you fucking delusional? This is a wonderful example of the lengths people and corporations will go to in order to bend the truth, just to politically correct. But I already covered that.
Do you contact or not? Generally, I feel like those doing the contacting often men need to try to observe the requirements of those they are contacting. In my article on Issues with Older Men Contacting Younger Women , I tackled the idea of wanting to encourage men to take some risks but at the same time not totally ignoring the requirements a woman lists. There is little in on-line dating that can raise my hackles more than age related issues. I am 58 years old, but look ten years younger than my age.
Leading job board sites CareerBuilder and Indeed have replied to allegations made by a state official that their software perpetuates age bias.
There, I said it. But now I am. We talk about everything. And I just found out recently that one of her best friends who is our age ish is married to a guy who is plus. And my gut reaction was: My natural, instinctive reaction was revulsion. When this wife was born, the husband was a sophomore in high school. When the husband graduated college, the wife was in first grade.
Chew on that, outraged people who might feel like debating this. Like this, but less awesome: Which is often several.

Four years ago Australian indie-pop songwriter Hazel English left her homeland to study in America, having studied creative writing in Melbourne. After releasing and touring her brilliant Just Give In/Never Going Home collection, she now finds herself one of most hotly tipped artists of a vibrant Oakland scene which includes Songwriting favourite Jay Som.
We were fortunate enough to catch some time with Hazel and discover just what it is she'd liked to be asked in an interview, along with picking up some great insight on how she crafts her songs.
Which venue was your favourite?
How did you write your song It's Not Real?
How do you normally write music: do you start with a lyric, or a melody, or a combination?
Do you think that studying creative writing helps your songwriting?
Does how you write your lyrics translate to how you write your music: do you have a formula that you use for both?
"I don't try to put too many limitations on myself because I try out different approaches; I like to be open about my writing because it make it more fun if I go about it that way. So, honestly, it's usually different every time because sometimes I'll come up with the melody first and sometimes I'll come up with the chords first, it really just depends how the inspiration strikes.
You've relocated from your homeland (Australia) to the United States. What was the reason for that?
What's the music scene like?
Are there any artists from the scene that you want to shout about?
What would you write about your music? What questions would you like to be asked about it?
As a songwriter, what advice would you give to our aspiring songwriters?

Business Growth Dilemma: Can You Make the Transition from Founder to CEO?
"Success makes founders less qualified to lead the company and changes the power structure so they are more vulnerable." Noam Wasserman, Harvard Business School
Foolhardy. Brazen. Willfully impervious to the enormous odds stacked against them. While entrepreneurs are aware that 50% of new businesses fail within a few years, every one believes that he or she is a success story in the making. New ventures need this enthusiasm, passion, and grit; they feed on it.
But there's another set of statistics that entrepreneurs also willfully ignore - and this one will get them. Within three years, 50% of successful founders are no longer in the CEO seat. The next year, that dwindles to 40%. And, most tellingly, 80% of entrepreneurs are forced to step down as CEO - of the company they shed blood, sweat, and tears to build. As a founder, can you make the leap to CEO? And, if you want to, how do you transition?
The Founder's Dilemma
Entrepreneurs can - and do - become successful CEOs. Look at Bill Gates. Larry Ellison. Mark Zuckerberg. Steve Jobs. Sam Walton. But, as Noam Wasserman points out, these folks "get all the attention because they are rare, not because they are typical."
According to Professor Wasserman's research, founder CEOs tend to get ousted when they do not perform well - and when they perform really well. And for much the same reason. "The challenges within the company change so dramatically that the person who was best suited to lead the early stage of company development is no longer the best person to continue leading the company."
In other words, you got us here, but you can't bring us any further. The skills required of a successful entrepreneur - passion, innovation, vision, optimism, tenacity, risk tolerance, self-belief - are not necessarily the skills required of a CEO.
Chief executives have to be methodical, disciplined, systematic: this is what growing organizations feed on. Passion takes a backseat as the ability to manage, organize, and delegate becomes paramount to the survival and success of the business.
A Leadership Crossroads
"Every successful entrepreneur comes to the inevitable crossroads, that pivotal point at which he or she must decide whether to take the organization to the next level or move on." Lee Hall, Atlanta Business Chronicle
Sometimes, the decision to step aside as CEO is made for founders - investors or the board decides it's not in the best interests of the organization to keep them on. In other cases, the founders themselves make the call to move on.
Andrea Hershatter, of Emory's Goizueta Business School, says, "There's a big difference between people who have a passion for starting something specific and those who just live to create."
Some founders, like Jay Chaudhry, feel their best work occurs during the startup phase. "It is immensely satisfying to see something that you have dreamed of actually breathing and growing and happening in the market." For serial entrepreneurs, that's the goal. To create a business, see it grow, and then move on to incubate the next venture.
But what if you don't want to move on? What if you don't want to see that thing you dreamed of breathing and growing and happening without you?
Making the Leap
"A leader who scales is able to jettison habits and skills that have outlived their usefulness and adapt to new challenges along the way." John Hamm, Venture Capitalist
To make the transition from founder to CEO you need to "jettison" habits that impede business growth. One of the strongest, and most damaging, of these habits is associating your organization with you. It becomes your identity. You're the only one who can guide it. You're the only one who can lead it. You're the only one who can speak with clients or refill the copy machine.
As Michael Gerber writes in The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It , "If your business depends on you, you don't own a business - you have a job. And it's the worst job in the world because you're working for a lunatic!" When you can separate yourself and recognize that "the purpose of your life is not to serve your business, but that the primary purpose of your business is to serve your life, then you can go to work on your business, rather than in it."
And then you have a fighting chance of becoming an effective CEO.
Working On Your Business
Working on your business, of course, requires that you also have people working in it for you. This is a sticking point for many founders as they struggle to navigate business growth. According to Gallup research, only 25% of entrepreneurs have what they term "High Delegator talent."
As Hershatter says, "As you grow and expand...the leader must learn to trust in others. That's extraordinary difficult for some people." But failure to do so has a direct - and negative impact on the bottom line.
While difficult, and while entrepreneurs-cum-CEOs are a "rarity," it can be done. Darryl Rawlings, founder - and CEO - of Trupanion, a pet insurance company, was his only employee for some time. Today, he has over 200. He recognized the need to "develop new skill sets" and that he had limitations. He hired staff that could fill those gaps and free him to work on his business. He's able to pursue opportunities while his people "deal with the middle."
The transition from founder to CEO comes down to this: you've got to let go if you want to stay at the helm. Develop the skills, habits, and behaviors you need to become an effective executive, hire people to fill gaps, and then get out of their way and let them work. If that doesn't appeal to you - maybe it's time to start a new business.

It is opening properly on start with url "http://127.0.0.1:8080/fav/".
Then in my page, i am having a sortable table which is calling to a method sortFavs() present in my class. And i am returning null from server method.
So url is changing to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/fav/configurationClass.xhtml"
Can i get the same output with previous url? How to do this without using any other lib like omnifaces or others ?

A: Add <f:ajax execute="@form" render="@form" /> to the command button/link. This way the POST request will be performed asynchronously instead of synchronously and the browser's address bar URL will stay the same all time.

When you think of industrial style bedrooms, a kid's bedroom might not be the first thing that comes to mind. After all, kid's bedroom decor is usually soft, colourful and warm whereas keywords for industrial design are more often along the lines of rough, bare and worn. However, the truth is that this style needs warm elements to truly bring it to life and when it comes to kid's bedroom decor, this is especially true. Add to that the imagination of a child and industrial design can get truly inspiring. Let us share with you some industrial kid's bedroom ideas to show you what we mean.
This kid's bedroom decor has got some quality industrial vintage pieces in it. The bed and end table/storage trunk have a cool, rough look because of the metal locks, bolts and hinges. However, the wood in these pieces makes them a bit more welcoming and friendly looking. Another thing is the colour. Dark army green is a popular industrial colour to choose, but by adding more bright green coloured furniture and accessories, this room better reflects the energy of the young kid that sleeps and plays in it. The industrial high bay light adds to the finishing touch.
Ropes are a great way to add character to the bedroom. It adds that vintage 1800's industrial revolution vibe that you should be looking for.
It's the accessories that make this room special. The personality of a kid can be seen in their toys and prized possessions. A tennis racket on the wall (Grandpa's?) a map on the other wall (Exploration? Inquisitive nature?), a red telephone… it all reflects the small occupier.
